Big names rise

Although Jeff has brought some popularity to "Glass Heart", it just doesn't look so ugly. It is difficult to obtain substantive cooperation with overseas filmmakers with just a poster and a story. Tao Quduo is not Xu Ke, Jiang Wen, and He Mu are not Zhang Ziyi. Influence is accumulated slowly, and it cannot be achieved overnight, unless there is a good opportunity.

In a few days, He Mu watched a lot of movies in Cannes, including the works of four Chinese directors, and his favorite Korean director Park Chan-wook's "Bat", as well as some mainstream Hollywood commercial films.Generally speaking, the quality of this year’s shortlisted works is not very strong. The films of several Asian directors are generally not highly rated by film critics. Even the new work of Ang Lee, who has already won Berlin Jinxiong and Venice Golden Lion, is not optimistic. The bright and obscure "Face" is at the bottom of all nominated films and has missed the award.

Since the possibility of winning the award is not very high, He Mu has completed his work as an actor and producer, and simply returned to China to complete the final filming of "Glass Heart". He chose to leave when the film festival was not over halfway. At this time, Jeff and Sister Song Xuan had had enough fun. The taste of Cannes is still not suitable for Lions Gate. There are only one or two films that he can fight for. European movies and American movies The style is too far behind, and it is only serious to focus on the Sundance Film Festival in the future, which is a good place for American film producers.

After returning to China, Zhang Yibai hadn't come out yet, Xu Jinglei was still working on the script, "Du Lala" was just a topic in the entertainment circle for the time being, and it touched the hearts of countless people, but there was no real progress.It’s just that after returning to China, He Mu mentioned in an interview with the media that Shuimu Forest’s next plan is "Du Lala's Promotion". This will be Mizuki's largest film investment. As a producer, he will seriously treat.Cooperate with director Xu Jinglei to complete a pleasing movie.

"Excuse me, He Mu, don't you act in this movie yourself?"

"Uh, I haven't thought about this, it depends on the schedule." He Mu replied perfunctorily.

Schedule?He Mu actually didn't have any works to follow after "Glass Heart".

Although there were many film and television works invited to him, none of them were accepted.Among them, TV dramas have the most invitations, and there are many excellent works among them, but He Mu is determined to develop in the direction of movies.However, there are only a few good works in China every year, which are so easy to fall on his head. With his current status, he is not suitable to play a supporting role, so there are fewer books to choose from than before.If you want to make a good movie, you have to do it yourself.

It's just that He Mu hasn't thought of a suitable subject yet.Shuimu Forest now mainly focuses on small productions, and He Mu doesn't want to act in some works of average quality. It is actually very difficult to balance the quality of the film with the low cost. There are indeed a lot of cards, but a good story needs a good director to operate, just like good ingredients without a good cook, it is impossible to make good dishes.It's better to freeze it in the refrigerator and wait for a good director to make a delicious meal.

And He Mu has starred in two movies this year.Coupled with the two TV dramas that will be broadcast at the beginning of the year and the summer vacation, he doesn't have to worry about not having a fulfilling life this year. Even if he doesn't do anything in the second half of the year, it's justified. Doing some brand endorsements is easy and fast. Think more in your spare time and feel more. There are too many good stories in China. Whether it is the long history of 5000 years or the changes of the times in today's society, there are many worthy of special writing, not to mention the online and offline ones. It is a novel and literary work that diverges to the extreme. I heard that Feng Xiaogang's new film "Tangshan Earthquake" is adapted from a recently published novel, so I will always find a good story.

It's like now, He Mu basically doesn't read comics, and he hasn't read Guoman at all. He didn't expect to reluctantly read a comic under Xiao Nan's strong recommendation, and he still likes it very much.

This is a girl's manga serialized in a magazine, called "Zi Bu Yu", and He Mu has already read the fifth and sixth chapters.When He Mu was a child, he had read many comic strips of the four great classics, and read them with great interest. However, when he grew up, there were no good domestic comics. Hong Kong comics were not his favorite style, and Japanese comics were not his favorite culture, so he preferred them later. I read a lot of text and literary works.

He Mu had already been disappointed with domestic comics before, and the reason why he was able to read this girly comic patiently was mainly because of the name of the comic, Zibuyu, Zibuyu's strange power and confusion, which reminded He Mu of Yuan Mei's " Zibuyu Anthology, which is similar in style to Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio, and it also tells interesting stories about ghosts and ghosts. This is what He Mu likes very much, so he also became a little interested in this "Zibuyu".

After reading it, I found that "Zibuyu" drawn by the cartoonist Xia Da has similarities with Yuan Mei's "Zibuyu Collection", and it also talks about ghosts and ghosts, but the style is very fresh. The bizarre events experienced in a small town are the main line, connecting many characters and deeds in the non-human world. The painting style is unique and has a Chinese classical charm.

In order to understand the story of this comic, He Mu deliberately found the previous issues of the magazine. Only then did he understand the process and development of the story, and later became a loyal reader of this series of comics, but at this time he did not think of adapting it into Movies, after all, involve ghosts, are still too sensitive, and the Film Censorship Bureau has a hard time.

"Old He," Tao Quduo called He Mu, "It's the last scene."

In the past two months, "Glass Heart" was finally on the verge of finishing. He Mu put down the comic magazine in his hand, and walked quickly to complete the last shot of the movie.

"Crack!" Tao Quduo yelled one last time, and the movie finally came to an end.

Because He Mu has too many identities, he can't leave all the time for the crew, so he was delayed a lot. Fortunately, the director is more considerate of him, and the heroine Zhang Yuqi is also very accommodating to him. When there is no male lead, she will do some commercial activities or accept filming. On the covers of some magazines, the star girl with a good figure is still very popular in the fashion industry. Finally, the filming of this movie has been completed intermittently.

This is Zhang Yuqi's first time as a heavyweight female number one. In fact, He Mu is also the first time to take on the main responsibility of a movie. Although he has starred several times before, "One Shot 147" has Wang Xueqi who has excellent acting skills , "Night Club" has Xu Zheng who is the best "Xiaoguo", "Perfect" has Hallyu idol So Ji-sub and a strong female one and two females. The aura of the male protagonists in the above films is not so shining, only this time , he is the only leading actor, there are almost no supporting actors, the heroine is not as plump as the heroine in terms of character design, and the director is a newcomer, this movie can really test He Mu's ability to resist the box office as a first-line popular idol , He Mu will wait and see.

The company's budget for Tao Quduo is 1000 million, including the cost of shooting, post-production and publicity. The shooting has already cost 600 million, and the income from advertising placement is also very small. The rest of the money is used for post-production and publicity. I was very nervous, so He Mu paid out of his own pocket for a banquet for all the crew members, and had a beautiful wrap-up banquet.

As an actor, He Mu is serious, as a boss, He Mu is serious, and now He Mu is active and enthusiastic, drinking cup after cup to respect every staff member who put in the sweat and wisdom for the movie, relying on his physique of never getting drunk He made everyone dizzy, and after taking a sip to dry his throat, he continued to talk about the pros and cons of filming.

After the whole movie was filmed, He Mu had nothing to say about his own performance, and he was very sure of Zhang Yuqi's performance. The most gratifying thing was Tao Quduo's changes.It is the first time to direct a movie, and he has no previous experience with film crews. Tao Quduo made many mistakes that Yang Qing made in "Night Shop". Some problems have always been with him, but Tao Quduo has made great progress, including mobilizing the emotions of the actors, choosing shooting angles and techniques, setting off the atmosphere, etc. His progress is visible, obviously. The quality of the outdoor part in the second half is better than the indoor part in the first half, and he even claimed that he would like to reshoot the front part if the two protagonists are willing.

At this time, Zhang Yuqi will blush. There are too many bed scenes in the front. When I was not familiar with it before, I took it without any scruples. Now that I am so familiar, I don’t know if I will not dare to do it. The heroic she couldn't help but blush and her heart beat, how could she be so courageous back then.

After the wrap-up banquet, everyone drank a little too much. He Mu took the trouble to tell everyone to take a taxi back and not drive by themselves. Of course, it would be best if someone came to pick them up. He had secretly called Zi Lin before, and there would be a A beautiful woman greeted him on the side of the road, "Handsome guy, do you want a ride?".

Now that the filming is over, it's time to enjoy life, and Mr. Zhang's health is fine, Zi Lin can come back to live, and the cohabitation life will continue from now on.

After watching most of the people leave, there are not many left. He Mu and Xiao Nan, Zhang Yuqi and her manager, director Tao Quduo and assistant director Lin Qingyi, and several lighting engineers, the most sober one is He Mu, the others were either supporting each other, or barely standing staggeringly, so He Mu had to be responsible for sending everyone away in order to feel at ease.

At this moment, a white BMW drove over. He Mu thought it was Zi Lin. Her new car was a BMW, but unfortunately it was not. Gao, a handsome young man, he walked towards the dazed Zhang Yuqi with a bunch of flowers in his arms... (to be continued...)
