my superstar girlfriend

Chapter 358 Shooting is about to start

"very good!"

After watching the finished film of "Iron Man 2", Mu Chen nodded and said.

The director of this film is the assistant director of the first film, and also played Tony Stark's personal bodyguard as a cameo in the film.

This is also the role of the original director's cameo.

Although he is a director, he seems to be a little keen on acting. His acting skills are not bad, and he often appears in other films as an actor.

"Director Mu, can I serve as an assistant director in the movie "The Avengers"?" George Favreau looked at Mu Chen and said with some expectation.

Mu Chen froze for a moment, a little surprised.

"Okay!"

Mu Chen nodded, naturally he would not refuse.

George Favreau's director level is still very high.If he serves as the assistant director of the film, it will undoubtedly make him feel a lot easier.

This can be seen from his "Iron Man 2".

A good assistant director is also very important for a director.

However, Mu Chen was inevitably a little puzzled.

He believes that after "Iron Man 2" is released, there will be an endless stream of film and television companies looking for him to direct.

There's no need for him to come and be his assistant director.

After all, a director and an assistant director have completely different status and treatment.

"Are you wondering if George recommended himself to be your assistant director?" Harvey looked at Mu Chen with a smile.

Mu Chen nodded and looked over.

"That's his cleverness." Harvey said with a smile, "Among the many directors in the world, you are definitely among the top, especially for 3D movies. Still figuring it out, but you're ahead of the curve. George learned a lot from you while he was filming 'Iron Man.'"

"Not all directors will patiently explain his doubts like you." Harvey continued, "What's more, if you shoot "Avengers 2" in the future, you will not direct it yourself like "Iron Man 2". , undoubtedly have an advantage over other competitors.”

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be the same.

Mu Chen really didn't intend to direct "Avengers 2" himself, even when George recommended himself as an assistant director, he already had some interest in him.

Although he is a bit scheming, Mu Chen likes a self-motivated person like him.

Why did Mu Chen always answer George's questions? Maybe it's just a habit, but it doesn't rule out deliberate cultivation.

There are so many Marvel movies, Mu Chen couldn't finish them all by himself.

Among the many directors in Hollywood, George is at most third-tier. It is definitely rare to get a blockbuster movie like "Iron Man 2" with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Perhaps, after this film is released, he will receive many invitations, but he still has a certain distance from the first-line directors, and needs some good directing works.

Actors need good works, and so do directors.

"If he is capable, it doesn't matter if he directs "Avengers 2." Mu Chen said with a smile.

"You really don't plan on directing a second film?" Harvey asked.

If there are many directors, who Harvey has the most confidence in, it must be Mu Chen.

Aside from his own abilities, the conception of the movie universe, the setting of superheroes, etc., which one does not have Mu Chen's participation?
He is undoubtedly the most familiar with this series of movies.

It's a pity that he has no skills at all, but he is ambitious.

He not only wants to create many superheroes in the United States, but also wants to create many superheroes in China.

Human energy is limited, so many videos, Mu Chen simply can't handle it.

If she shoots one after another, I am afraid that the structure has not been completed, and those actors are already old.

Therefore, Mu Chen had to give up many superheroes to other directors.

Among these superheroes, Harvey also knew that Mu Chen valued Huaxia more.

He also saw that Mu Chen was going to use those Chinese superheroes to create a few Chinese international superstars.

Chinese films have made a lot of progress internationally, but among Chinese stars, there are few who can be called international superstars.

There is no doubt that there is a great distance from Hollywood in this regard.

It's a pity that Mu Chen didn't direct.Harvey is also helpless, who made Mu Chen his boss?
Although this boss is somewhat irresponsible, you have to admire his talent, especially his grasp of the film market, which is even more amazing!
What's more, Harvey also agrees with Mu Chen's approach.

If you want to make this movie universe work, then the movie needs coherence.There should not be too much time between videos.

"Transformers" is popular all over the world, and the box office has been rising all the way.

This is another global bestseller.

Today, Mu Chen's cumulative global box office has been beyond the reach of other directors.

Mu Chen's high output and high quality made those big Hollywood directors who threatened to catch up with Mu Chen despair.

In September, Li Ruoxi and Mu Ze arrived in Los Angeles successively, and "The Avengers" is about to start.

However, "Transformers" has been released for nearly a month, and its box office potential has been almost exhausted.

However, the box office of this film also gave Mu Chen a little shock.

At this time, the domestic box office broke 40 billion Chinese dollars, the North American box office broke 15 million U.S. dollars, and the global cumulative box office has broken [-] billion U.S. dollars.

This box office should be nearly double the box office of the original.

Moreover, the release time of this film will be extended, and by the time the picture is drawn, the global box office of this film may exceed 16 billion US dollars.

This film has brought Chenxi Film and Television hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.If you count the income from peripheral products, it is even more unimaginable.

Today, Transformers toys have been sold all over the world.

"How long is Miss Xiaowan's delivery date?"

Mu Chen received Mu Ze at the airport and asked casually.

"It looks like mid-October." Mu Ze said.

"That should be in time." Mu Chen nodded and said.

Su Xiaowan was pregnant with a girl in her second child, which made Mu Ze very happy.

One son and one daughter make up the word "good".

If this play wasn't for Mu Chen and had been planned very early on, Mu Ze might not have accepted it.

Because of filming, running around, seldom at home.

Mu Ze is actually a very family-friendly man. How could he not take time to accompany his wife when she is due to give birth?

"Can the filming be finished in a month?" Mu Ze asked in surprise.

Generally, the shooting period of a film is two or three months, and the longer one may be four or five months, or even half a year.

Especially for blockbuster films with this kind of investment, the shooting cycle is generally not short.

"It's not time-consuming to shoot this kind of blockbuster special effects, it's mainly in the post-production." Mu Chen said with a smile, "Besides, I'll be the first to shoot your part."

"There's no need to do this on purpose." Mu Ze said, "Just move it for two days."

"Why isn't it necessary?" Mu Chen said, "Could it be that my niece will blame me for being an uncle when she grows up?"

When Mu Ze heard it, he smiled.

The film "Avengers" is still very well prepared.

If the shooting goes well, two months should be enough.Moreover, Mu Ze's roles in this film are not many.

Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, and Thor, these four have already produced their own movies.

There is also the Black Widow who will shine in "Iron Man 2".

Mu Ze and Li Ruoxi have just arrived, and they are still helping out. If there are too many scenes, it will inevitably overwhelm the guests and cause dissatisfaction among other superhero fans.

If so, it is likely to backfire.

Therefore, Li Ruoxi and Mu Ze are very good in the film, but they don't have many roles, and they don't cover up the light of other superheroes.

This measure was obtained after repeated consideration by the team.

On September [-]th, Mu Chen held a high-profile launch conference.

This press conference can be described as star-studded.

What's more, the popularity of "Transformers" has not completely dissipated, and many countries and regions have not yet released the painting. Cartoons have swept the world like movies, and toys have also swept the world.

At this time, Mu Chen's new movie held a press conference, which naturally attracted countless media reporters from all over the world.

The actors who play Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, etc. are now very popular, especially Robert, the actor who plays Iron Man, has a faint trend of Hollywood first-line stars.

Before that, he was just a third-tier star.

However, among the actors who attended the press conference, Mu Ze was the most famous.

He's definitely an A-lister in Hollywood these days.

Except for Mu Chen's several films, Mu Ze's several films in Hollywood received extremely good box office response.Especially China's box office, let Hollywood see his box office appeal in China.

Mu Ze now has an endless stream of film appointments in Hollywood.

However, she took the role very cautiously.

Of course, the fact that he was shot while filming also increased his popularity a lot.

And after he recovered from his injury, he continued to shoot that film, but he was also praised.

Of course, there must be credit for Dream Pictures.

The necessary publicity is indispensable.

Although Robert is not as good as Mu Ze now, he is worse than Li Ruoxi.

Today's Li Ruoxi has a limited international reputation, and she looks like a second-tier actress in Hollywood.

Of course, the salaries offered by Hollywood are much higher than those of second-tier stars.

This is undoubtedly due to Li Ruoxi's box office appeal in China.

However, at this time, she is stronger than the actor who played the Black Widow, and she can be said to be the hottest actress at the press conference.

After all, Iron Man 2 hasn't hit theaters yet.

The process of launching a new film is almost constant.

Mu Chen briefly introduced some films, and then the actors also briefly introduced their roles.

Robert and others already have their own movies, so the characters they play are naturally known.

Even for the role of Black Widow, although "Iron Man 2" has not been released, but Black Widow, an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., is still known to many movie fans.

The ones who are really unfamiliar are probably Mu Ze, Li Ruoxi, and Hawkeye.

However, the actor who played Hawkeye was far less popular than Mu Ze and the other two.

Therefore, Mu Ze and the others paid much more attention.

"I'm Mu Ze, and I play a superhero from China in "The Avengers""

"I'm Li Ruoxi, and the character I played in the film also came to China."

The two of them, Mu Ze, only briefly introduced the characters, without revealing too much.

They have been in the industry for so long, they don't need to be reminded, and they know how to behave.

"Director Mu, you have assembled so many superheroes in this film, so what is the budget for this film? Is it the most expensive film you directed?"

Following the questioning session, a reporter couldn't wait to ask.

The cast of this film is amazing enough, among other things, I am afraid that the salary alone is an astonishing figure.
