my superstar girlfriend

Chapter 339 This young man is not bad
"How about it?"

Liu Guohua did not answer the rhetorical question.

This has nothing to do with politeness, but Liu Guohua really wants to know Mu Chen's opinion on this script.

"Very good." Mu Chen said, "However, if this film is to be produced, the investment and risks are not small. It may be fine in China, but it is difficult to say abroad."

"That's it!" Liu Guohua nodded.

After he got the script, he also had the same opinion as Mu Chen.

In fact, he came here not only to listen to Mu Chen's opinion on this drama, but also to attract investment.

"You didn't write this script, did you?" Mu Chen said with a smile.

"How is it possible?" Liu Guohua said, "If I had this ability, my company would not have gone bankrupt."

Liu Guohua opened a film and television company, but it didn't last long before it closed down.

He was also unlucky, and encountered the most sluggish time in the film and television industry.

"It was written by a newcomer director." Liu Guohua said, "Didn't I support some new Chinese directors these years? Those are mostly art films, and the investment is not big, so I can still support them. However, this film took me It may not be enough to throw in my net worth!"

It's not enough to invest in money, which is a bit self-deprecating.

Not to mention how much Liu Guohua's net worth is, it is estimated that there are several billion.Even if he was bankrupt and even in debt at the beginning.

What's more, his wife is also from a wealthy family and is good at investing.

However, to support new directors, you can't expect them to invest hundreds of millions, billions, and put all their wealth into it.

"A new director?" Mu Chen looked at Liu Guohua.

"The script was written by a director named Feng Yi, who made an online movie "Chang'an" before, and the movie has a good reputation." Liu Guohua said, "However, it is an online movie after all, so the production is inevitably rough."

The investment in online movies is generally not too large, and the production is naturally rougher than the released movies.

When Liu Guohua said this, he was just reminding Mu Chen that Feng Yi was capable of directing, but he had no idea whether he could manage such a huge production as "Chasing the Deer".

"Many directors who make online movies are not incompetent, but are limited by funds." Mu Chen nodded and said, "What do you mean by bringing this script?"

This is a bit of a knowing question.

"The investment in this film is too large, and I can't support it by breaking the bank. But the investment is small, or it is a pity to put it on the shelf. So, I will let you see if Chenxi Film and Television is interested in investing." Liu Guohua smiled. said.

In China, Chenxi Film and Television is definitely the most wealthy film and television company.

They are richer than those listed film and television companies.

"I'll call Old Chen and let him take a look first." Mu Chen thought for a while, but didn't refuse or agree, and then said, "You call Feng Yi too, I want to talk to him first."

"Okay!" Liu Guohua nodded.

This film has a large investment, so Mu Chen must be cautious.

He only read the script initially, but he also saw that if he wanted to make this film well, it would definitely not work without an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

With an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is a film with Chinese characteristics, there is naturally a lot of risk in the foreign box office.

Of course, in Mu Chen's view, the biggest risk is not in the film itself.

He personally liked the script very much.

However, if the script is good, the movie will be good, right?
Therefore, in Mu Chen's view, the risk of this film lies in whether the director can make this film well.

Thankfully the screenwriter is the director.

It's a pity that the director has never made a blockbuster movie, so it's doubtful whether he can manage it.

This is why Mu Chen wanted to talk to Na Feng Yi first.

Chen Fuhai will come over soon.

The management team of Chenxi Film and Television has long been mature. As the general manager, Chen Fuhai is usually not busy.

Chen Fuhai also has an extremely unique vision for the film market.

"Very good." Chen Fuhai said after reading the script, "The domestic box office should be fine. As for the foreign market, I'm not sure."

Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen while talking.

The domestic filmmaker with the most international vision is undoubtedly Mu Chen.

"The filming is done. In fact, it may not be impossible to recover the cost in China." Mu Chen said, "As for foreign countries, there is no need to be too deliberate."

Hearing what Mu Chen said, Chen Fuhai naturally heard that he was not very sure about the overseas market of this movie.

However, he also heard that Mu Chen prefers to invest in this film.

"Of course I have no objection to casting this film." Chen Fuhai said, "Who directed it?"

"Still on the way." Liu Guohua said, "It will probably arrive soon."

Feng Yi is around 30 years old, a little younger than Mu Chen.

Among the directors, he is definitely considered young.

"Sit down for a while and drink some water."

Mu Chen said with a smile.

That Feng Yi was sweating profusely, and his breathing was still a little short, obviously coming here in a hurry.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Feng Yi said quickly.

He was very nervous at this moment.

Just kidding, can you not be nervous?

Among the three people in the office, which one is not a well-known figure in the circle.

Liu Guohua is fine, he had contact with him before.But who are the other two? One is an internationally renowned director, and the other is indeed the boss of a top film and television company.

He knew that Liu Guohua had brought the script to Chenxi Film and Television to solicit investment, but he didn't expect that Mu Chen would talk to him immediately.

Talking about movies with Mu Chen?

This is probably the dream of countless directors.

Mu Chen is now a top director in the world, talking about movies with him will definitely benefit him a lot.

Feng Yi has prepared for "Chasing the Deer" for many years, but after all, he does not have his own team, and many designs are still not perfect.

However, when it came to the idea of ​​this film, he and Mu Chen chatted endlessly.

At the beginning, Mu Chen just listened, but then he put forward a lot of his own opinions and suggestions, and finally even involved in the shooting.

"Director Mu, if you shoot like this, I'm afraid this movie won't be able to be made without a billion dollars." Feng Yi said.

He was very moved by some of Mu Chen's suggestions, but also a little guilty.

Money is one aspect, and another aspect is that the scene is too big, and he is afraid that he will not be able to control it.

"Money is not a problem." Chen Fuhai said with a smile.

He didn't participate in the discussion, but that doesn't mean he couldn't understand it.

"If you have any questions, you might as well talk about it." Mu Chen seemed to see some entanglements in Feng Yi, and said immediately.

"I've only made one online movie before, and the investment was only a few million." Feng Yi said, "Suddenly I made a movie with an investment of over one billion. The scene is too big, and I'm afraid I won't be able to control it. I don’t have much experience in 3D film shooting.”

When Mu Chen heard this, the trace of doubt in his heart dissipated immediately.

This Feng Yi is not a boastful person, and he has a deep understanding of himself.

He knows what he is good at and what he lacks.

For those people who are obviously not good but think they are good at it, Mu Chen has to be cautious.

"How about, let's do some simple preliminary preparations for this film." Mu Chen thought for a while and said, "My new film will start shooting at the end of September. If you don't mind, come to my film crew to be an assistant director. Want to shoot a 3D movie?"

"Really?" Feng Yi said excitedly when he heard this.

Mu Chen's assistant director is not something that ordinary people can do.

Of course, he was more excited because he felt that he could learn a lot from Mu Chen's crew.

In this world, the director who shoots the best 3D movies is none other than Mu Chen.

Go to Mu Chen's new film crew to get familiar with 3D film shooting, what's the difference with Mu Chen learning?
"This young man is not bad. When the older generation of filmmakers retire, he may become the backbone or even the leader of Chinese-language films in the future."

After Feng Yi and Liu Guohua left, Mu Chen said to Chen Fuhai with a smile.

"It seems that you are very old." Chen Fuhai smiled.

Mu Chen is not much older than Feng Yi, but he debuted and became famous earlier, and the two cannot be regarded as directors of the same generation.

However, Mu Chen practiced martial arts all year round, and when Feng Yi couldn't move, Mu Chen might still be strong and healthy.

For Chinese movies, Mu Chen can last at least 30 years.

Of course, Chen Fuhai agreed with Mu Chen's evaluation of Feng Yi.

It's just a pity that that person is from Liu Guohua's studio, so I'm sorry to dig it!
At the end of August, "Kung Fu Panda", which has been in theaters for more than a month, is gradually being drawn down around the world.

China's box office exceeded 30 billion, while North America's box office exceeded [-] million US dollars, and the global total box office exceeded [-] billion US dollars.

Although it is not the highest-grossing animation film in the world, it is definitely the best animation film in China.

Before that, there were no Chinese-language animated films with a box office of one billion US dollars, not one with one billion Chinese coins.

"Kung Fu Panda" is popular all over the world, which undoubtedly drives the development of Chinese animation films.

Not to mention how the foreign box office is, only the domestic box office can make other film and television companies work hard on animated films.

And "Fast and Furious" landed in the mainland, and the box office response was better than expected.

However, the highlight of Chenxi Film and Television is not this film, but "The Day After Tomorrow" directed by Xu Wen and starring Liu Guohua and Wang Yi, a disaster film with a huge investment.

This film is scheduled for National Day, and now it has gradually begun to promote it.

At the end of September, "Iron Man" was gradually declining worldwide, with a domestic box office of nearly 30 billion, not as good as "Kung Fu Panda".However, the foreign box office is much higher than the domestic one.

The North American box office broke 13 million US dollars, and the global box office was nearly [-] billion US dollars.

More than double the original version.

Of course, this is related to prices, markets, inflation, and the popularity of 3D.

Among other things, China's box office is equivalent to hundreds of millions of dollars.

The domestic box office potential of "Fast and Furious", which was released less than a month ago, has also been exhausted.

The box office has exceeded [-] million, which is still extremely good.

It is estimated that after a few days, "The Day After Tomorrow" and other films will be released after the National Day file.

"When are we leaving?"

Mu Chen looked at Li Ruoxi.

She has a busy schedule.This drama is finished, and the next drama is expected to start.

"I can rest for a few days." Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

"That's just right." Mu Chen smiled and said, "Director Xu's "The Day After Tomorrow" will be screened tomorrow, and he invited many people in the industry to watch the film, so you can go with me."

"Yeah!" Li Ruoxi nodded and said, "When is your Transformers going to start?"

"It's mid-October!" Mu Chen said, "The filming is expected to be finished before the Chinese New Year."
