my superstar girlfriend

Chapter 213

Li Mubai, Yu Xiulian, and Yu Jiaolong, the three main characters, all have high requirements for acting skills.

Luo Xiaohu is relatively simpler.

Of course, only in relative terms.

Luo Xiaohu is innocent and straightforward, and believes that as long as he makes a career, he will be able to make Yu Jiaolong's parents look up to him and marry her in a fair manner.

It's just that he can't keep up with Yu Jiaolong's thoughts, and he is doomed to change from a symbol of freedom to a new bondage.It is doomed that he and Yu Jiaolong will never return to the past.

Mu Chen has studied the whole play deeply, so naturally he also studied the character Luo Xiaohu.

No good director can act badly.

Mu Chen's acting skills are also good, and coupled with his extremely high talent, playing the role of Luo Xiaohu is not difficult.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filmed in many places, and the crew was running around.

As the director, Mu Chen naturally needless to say, but among the actors, Li Ruoxi undoubtedly had the most to do.Wudang Mountain, Bamboo Sea in southern Shun, the desert, Huangshan and other places, not one is left behind.

Without her role, Li Ruoxi followed the crew all the way.

This way she can stay with Mu Chen.

Running around with the crew is undoubtedly tiring.But the most tiring thing about this drama is not this, but the inner tiredness from trying to figure out the characters.

Compared with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Wolf Warrior 2" is obviously more physically exhausting.

emotional, rational.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not about martial arts, but about culture and human nature.

This film not only has vivid characters, twists and turns of the story, fresh and refined sound and pictures, lifelike, but also rich cultural connotations.

The original director skillfully integrated traditional Chinese martial arts elements into landscape culture and Chinese calligraphy, and throughout the storyline development of the film.

Huaxia calligraphy emphasizes softness and strength, while landscape embodies a sense of freedom.

Mu Chen's films have always strived for excellence, and this film is even more so.

During the filming, Mu Chen was not only strict with himself, but also strict with everyone.

With such strict standards, the filming of this scene was naturally very slow, and many shots were pondered over and over again by Mu Chen.The pursuit of excellence made the entire crew suffer and almost collapsed.

"Did he work this hard in filming in the past?" Zhang Na sat next to Li Ruoxi and looked at Mu Chen who was discussing the camera with the photographer in the distance, and said.

"Fight!" Li Ruoxi nodded and said, "He has always been like this, it's just that this drama makes him feel pressured."

"This drama is very artistic. Human nature is inherently complicated." Zhang Na nodded and said, "His previous works were all commercial. However, I am very puzzled why he chose an artistic one when he entered the international market." Works? Do you want to go to Cannes?"

"Maybe!" Li Ruoxi shook her head and said, "Now I miss the days of filming "East and West" and "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance". Like this drama, the whole crew exudes a depressive atmosphere."

"You can't let him make comedies all the time, can you?" Zhang Na smiled and said.

Every director has his own field of expertise.

What is Mu Chen good at?
Action movie?comedy?Or a drama?
It seems that Mu Chen's style is not fixed, he is good at many types.

However, when it comes to what Mu Chen is best at, I am afraid nine out of ten people will say it is action.

Mu Chen made his debut in kung fu dramas, and entered the movie circle with kung fu movies.

This is his first impression.

Zhang Na didn't expect that Mu Chen was actually very good at art.

It seems that there is nothing he is not good at.

Genius, sometimes really hard to understand.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is highly artistic, but it is definitely not weak in commerciality.This is a film that combines art and commerce.

As for whether it will be successful, Zhang Na is not sure.

Still, she hopes to succeed.

And it's not just because she's in the show.

The filming continued, and the crew had gotten used to the rhythm of the show and Mu Chen's strictness.

Location: Wudang Mountains.

Characters: Yu Jiaolong, Luo Xiaohu.

Time: day.

Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu climbed to the top of the cliff, layers of white clouds covered the valley below.

Mu Chen: "Dragon Girl!"

Li Ruoxi: "Do you still remember the story you told?"

Mu Chen: "Sincerity leads to spirit!"

Li Ruoxi: "Make a wish! Little Tiger!"

Mu Chen closed his eyes: "Let's go back to XJ!"

This scene is the final scene.

At the moment Luo Xiaohu closed his eyes and made a wish, Yu Jiaolong turned around with a smile and threw his body lightly from the top of the mountain to the clouds.

Yun Duo seemed to grab her gently, and then disappeared.

Of course, this shot was done in a studio, it is impossible for Li Ruoxi to really jump off the cliff.

Even if you bring Wia with you, you can't get that feeling in live shooting.

Li Ruoxi's scene was filmed here, and it was also finished.

And Mu Chen's last shot was standing still.

He smiled, tears streaming down his cheeks.

This is the expression after seeing Yu Jiaolong jump off the cliff.

Mu Chen looked at the replay of the camera, pondered it carefully, compared it with the original version, and finally smiled.

"I declare: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is finished!"

Mu Chen got up and said.

"oh oh!"

When the crew heard it, they cheered.

The filming started at the end of August, and now at the end of November, the three-month period makes them feel more difficult than filming "Wolf Warrior 2".

This is not a physical torment, but a mental one.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" finished, quite low-key.

The media was not notified, and no wrap-up banquet was held.

After tidying up, everyone went straight back to Yanjing.

At this time, "Wolf Warrior 2" has already been released, and its popularity has dissipated.

After three months of filming, Mu Chen didn't get so much attention anymore.

The entertainment industry is the least news-oriented, and the media will naturally not focus on Mu Chen alone.

When a film is filmed, the media rarely pays attention to it.

The final box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" in the Mainland is as high as 58.7 billion, which is higher than the original version.The box office of Xiangjiang is more than 4000 million, which is many times higher than the original version.

However, this box office is only breaking into the top ten of the Xiangjiang box office list.

As Mu Chen guessed, the overseas box office is not very ideal. North America is only 1000 million US dollars, Southeast Asia and other places are much higher, with a total of hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars, and Europe and other places are not very ideal.

The global box office totaled more than 60 billion Chinese dollars, equivalent to [-] to [-] million U.S. dollars, breaking into the top [-] in the global box office list, and almost breaking into the top [-].It is also the only Chinese film that broke into the top [-] of the global box office list.

There is no doubt that this film has been "sacred" in China.

Box office, copyright, etc., this film has brought Chenxi Film and Television at least 20 billion in revenue, making it the most profitable Chinese-language film in history.

"Robbing a bank doesn't even make a movie, so fast!"

When Mu Chen saw the report given by Chen Fuhai, he couldn't help sighing.

"Investing in movies is also risky." Chen Fuhai said, ""Excalibur" also hit the box office overseas. This movie has caused Guangzheng Pictures to suffer heavy losses."

Hearing "Excalibur" hit the street, Mu Chen felt inexplicably refreshed.

I really am not a magnanimous person.

"Chenxi Film and Television doesn't seem to have paid out yet." Mu Chen said with a smile.

There was no embarrassment in his words, just a little arrogant.

Well, and some schadenfreude.

Chenxi Film and Television did not lose money, especially Mu Chen's works made a lot of money.

This is probably the only one in the circle.

Not to mention the TV series, the TV series produced by Chenxi Film and Television now have different ratings, but they are all hits, and almost every one of them ranks first in the same period.

The TV dramas produced by Chenxi are always competing with countless TV stations.

Occasionally it is broadcast alone, and occasionally two or three TV series are broadcast simultaneously.

If "Wolf Warrior 2" hadn't been a big hit, Chenxi Film and Television's most profitable business would not be movies, but TV dramas and variety shows.

Not to mention variety shows.

Every variety show caused a wave of enthusiasm, and the naming fee was even pushed to a sky-high price.

Chenxi Film and Television can be described as rich and powerful now.

"How about the special effects company?" Mu Chen then asked.

"I've selected a few, and I'll send you the information. You can take a look first." Chen Fuhai said.

"Okay!" Mu Chen nodded.

Acquire a special effects company, and it has to be a good special effects company.

This is a deployment of the development of Chenxi Film and Television.

Once "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" succeeds and Mu Chen becomes famous internationally, there will be many special effects used in future films.

Of course, Mu Chen wouldn't buy a special effects company just because of his needs.

The most important thing is that Mu Chen is optimistic about the development of the special effects company.

The use of special effects in movies will only increase.

For Chenxi Film and Television to go international, a special effects company is indispensable.

The several special effects companies that Chen Fuhai looked for were from all levels, and there were many top special effects companies among them.

With the current financial resources of Chenxi Film and Television, the pressure to acquire it does not seem to be too great.

"Any intention?" Chen Fuhai asked immediately when he saw Mu Chen looking at him.

"Xuan Ying Number." Mu Chen said.

"The special effects company in Xiangjiang." Chen Fuhai said in surprise, "Why did you choose this company?"

"3D!" Mu Chen said with a smile, "Although this film and television company is not the most famous, most of the companies are Chinese, so communication will definitely be easier. And the technology is not much worse than those top special effects companies. Perhaps, The difference between Xuanying Digital and those top special effects companies is only the capital. Of course, the special effects company that fascinates me the most has a lot of research on 3D technology."

"3D? 3D technology?" Chen Fuhai frowned, and said, "Although 3D movies have appeared, the cost is high and the income is low. It seems that a few movies have not had much response."

"I believe that 3D will become a movie-watching trend sooner or later." Mu Chen smiled and said, "Those 3D movies didn't get much response, that's because they were restrained and didn't completely let go."

"Let go?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen and said, "You mean to increase the investment? The risk is not ordinary! As far as I know, the investment of those 3D movies is basically more than [-] million, more than [-] million U.S. dollars. Some made low returns, and some even lost a lot of money.”

Mu Chen smiled without saying a word.

How much is over a billion dollars?
How much did you invest in "Avatar", which made 3D movies popular all over the world?
That's several times.

If the investment is not large, and the visuals are not shocking, how high can the film's box office be?
The box office is not high, the income is low, and 3D movies have not become popular, and naturally there are fewer and fewer such movies.

Why did 3D movies in that world instantly become popular all over the world?

It's nothing more than the fact that "Avatar" is a global hit at the box office, and its visuals have shocked the world even more.

Of course, the most important thing is that "Avatar" set off a global 3D boom, allowing investors to see the hot market for 3D movies.

With an investment of 30 to [-] million yuan, the global box office is nearly [-] billion yuan.

With such benefits, who is not envious.

And what about this world?

Those few 3D movies did not hit the box office, and almost lost money, and they did not cause 3D fever.

Investors can't see the benefits, and 3D movies are naturally rare.

"You're not going to make a 3D movie for your next movie, are you?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen, startled.

"No rush." ​​Mu Chen thought for a while, and said, "First watch the response of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and then make a film that will completely open up the international market. If it is only for the domestic market, I am afraid it will be difficult to support such a large investment. Shoot now, the time is too late."

Mu Chen had to admit that big investment comes with big risks.

"Avatar" is popular all over the world. Apart from the film itself, the director's global box office appeal cannot be ignored.

When Chen Fuhai heard this, he was immediately relieved.

He knew Mu Chen, although he would not be as swollen as the rumors said, but once he thought of something, he would not be able to pull it back.

Fortunately, even though Mu Chen wanted to make a 3D movie with a large investment, he still hasn't lost his mind.

It's just that Chen Fuhai had a vague feeling that the investment for Mu Chen's 3D movie would exceed his imagination.

"Then I will go to Xiangjiang every few days." Chen Fuhai said.

"Yeah!" Mu Chen nodded and said, "If you encounter any trouble, you can go to Chu Yuhua from Yinglian Film and Television. I have some relationship with him."

Chen Fuhai nodded.

He naturally knows who Chu Yuhua is.Chenxi Film and Television and Yinglian Film and Television also have cooperation.

Not long after Chen Fuhai left, Ma Lin walked in again.

"Back?" Marin said with a smile.

"It's been a few days since I've been back." Mu Chen said with a curled lip.

""Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was so high-profile when it started, how did I know it was so low-key when it was finished." Marin said.

"What's the matter?" Mu Chen looked at Marin and asked.

"It's okay, free." Marin said.

His TV series has long been finished, and now that it is about to start broadcasting, he really has nothing to do.

He came to the company today, probably because he heard the news of Mu Chen's return and came to look for him.

"But I'm very busy." Mu Chen said angrily, "I have something to talk about, but I have nothing to do. I have to work on the later stage of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

"Okay!" Marin glanced at Mu Chen and said, "I want to change career?"

"Change career?" Mu Chen asked in surprise, "What kind of career will you switch to? Be an actor or a producer? Don't tell me you want to change career to be a singer?"

"No." Marin said, "I want to make a movie."

"What's that called a career change?" Mu Chen pouted and said, "If you want to make a movie, then do it."

"Script!" Marin looked at Mu Chen with a smile and said.

Mu Chen finally understood why this guy came here.

"Is there no scriptwriting department?" Mu Chen said casually.

"It's all TV drama scripts." Marin said.

Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Mu Chen is the only director of Chenxi Films and Television Films. The scripts of the films he shoots are written by him himself, and he has never been in the screenwriting department.

Therefore, the screenwriting department revolves around TV dramas.

"Wait! I'm writing for you after I've been busy." Mu Chen thought for a while and said, "By the way, what kind of film do you want to make?"

"Let's try it out with a low-cost comedy first." Marin said.
