Big names rise

Li Ming doesn't believe in good luck. "Nightclub" is lucky, "Perfect" is lucky, and "Glass Heart" is still so lucky. Could it be that He Mu has all the luck in the world? They are obviously three rookie directors. Except for Jin Yimeng who has an overseas degree and the strong support of international chapters, the other two obviously do not have the ability to act alone, but the result is that Yang Qing and Tao Quduo's films have higher returns. Tao Quduo, who has filmed a TV series, is favored by Hollywood and is considered to have a bright future.

In Li Ming's view, this result is entirely due to He Mu's superb vision of seeing people and scripts. He has the identity of a screenwriter himself, which has advantages that other film investors do not have. I heard that he took the role Sometimes I read the script first, but the script that caught his attention was negotiable as for the salary.

To be honest, He Mu didn't have much box office appeal when he was in "Night Club". TV stars usually have this problem. On the surface, they are very popular, but it is difficult for the movies they make to gain market recognition, because those fans watch it for free. You can love you to death during TV dramas, but once you ask them to watch movies that cost money, they can immediately pretend that they don’t know you. Big names like Zhao Wei and Huang Xiaoming are like this during the transition period from TV dramas to movies.

When the two films "Perfect" and "Glass Heart" were released, He Mu was indeed the only big star among the new generation of actors born in the [-]s. It is unrealistic to have a box office of [-] million yuan, and only the top few talents in the Chinese film circle have this qualification.

Judging from Li Ming's analysis. Zhang Ziyi is the biggest contributor to "Perfect" with a box office of over [-] million. He Mu is more like an accessory, and "Glass Heart" has a box office of over [-] million.He Mu has already made great contributions. At this time, through two blockbuster movies, He Mu has temporarily got rid of the aura of TV superstar and has already gained a place in the movie circle. However, this status cannot be guaranteed as long as He Mu The box office of a starring movie can exceed [-] million. "Glass Heart" is a hit at the box office. The key is that He Mu, who is very popular, acted in the right movie.And put it on the right schedule.The film talks about a topic that is indispensable in the process of love from a novel and even slightly fantasy perspective, directly touching people's hearts, although there is no deliberate sensationalism.But after watching it, people can have a long aftertaste. I don’t know how many couples still feel unsatisfied after watching it once, and they watched it a second time and a third time.

He Mu is the producer, screenwriter, and leading actor of "Glass Heart". He can be described as an all-around talent.I don't know what kind of light and shadow legend he can create.Li Ming appreciates this kind of talent very much, but it is a pity that this is a talent with great ambitions, and it is impossible for him to use him. At most, he can try it out if he has a chance to cooperate in the future.

Before the movie started, He Mu and Li Ming chatted a lot. Li Ming did not underestimate He Mu, showing respect everywhere. He Mu has always been respected by you and respected by you.So I talked more with Li Ming, and when he asked about the "Decisive Battle in Shama Town" that Mizuki and LeTV collaborated, he also revealed a lot of details.At this time, He Mu felt that he had talked too much, and asked Li Ming about the topic of "No Man's Land".

"Didn't it say it will be released next month? Why haven't there been any promotions recently? I'm eager to see this movie. If necessary, I can go to the premiere too." He Mu generously said, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo , Yu Nan, such a lineup really makes He Mu want to stop. Maybe the three actors are not considered first-line celebrities, but He Mu admires their acting skills. Coupled with Ning Hao's consistent performance, "No Man's Land" "is still worth looking forward to.

Li Ming, who was originally very interested, heard He Mu's question, and immediately sighed, "December will definitely not be available, and it will be early next year at the earliest. What a pity, in December, apart from Zhang Yimou's "Three Guns" and "October Siege" basically doesn't have any blockbuster movies, and this is the most prosperous period of the year for the film market, if I miss it, I don't know what the scenery will be at the beginning of next year."

He Mu was taken aback. The previous publicity of Galloping Horse and China Film was to meet the audience in December for the Lunar New Year. Although next January will also be the Lunar New Year, but the postponement is not good after all. He Mu was very curious, "Why is this? "

Li Ming helplessly talked about the tragic experience of "No Man's Land", and He Mu was speechless after hearing this. This movie failed to pass the screening review of the Film Bureau. , as well as part of the investment from China Film Group. China Film Group has benefited from "Crazy Racing" and has given greater support to Ning Hao's "No Man's Land". With this backer, it is still stuck in the review joint. Li Ming didn't expect it, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to release the news of the release date without getting the dragon label, and now he can only renege on his promise and lose weight.

He Mu asked a few more questions carefully. It turned out that the reason given by the film bureau was that there is no good guy in the movie, and a world full of bad guys is not in line with the socialist spirit, and some scenes are too bloody and not suitable for minors. Watching, so some plots need to be dealt with. He Mu was very angry when he heard it. The reasons for radio and television card movies are really more and more varied. Li Ming didn't know whether to comfort He Mu or to comfort himself and said, "I don't think the problem should be big. , the third master will help to find a way, and it will definitely be released before the end of the Lunar New Year file, but it is a pity that it will not be able to compete with "Three Guns" and "October Besieged City" next month."

He Mu felt that what Li Ming said was reasonable. It is impossible for China Film to sit back and watch "No Man's Land" delay, and they will lose at that time. It seems that they can only wait to watch it in 2010. The two chatted about the things in the circle for a while , It’s a topic that they, the bosses of film and television companies, will talk about, not the petty rivalry and jealousy of the celebrity circle. He Mu also likes to listen to these things. In the past, only Xiao Fang could talk to him about these things. The screening was about to begin. He Mu and Li Ming finished their conversation and began to enjoy the movie seriously.

Generally speaking, this movie is a little mediocre. The theme of loyalty to the country and filial piety to the father in the story of Hua Mulan is not fully expressed in the movie, but the romantic and ambiguous love story between Hua Mulan and the six princes is filmed. , it dilutes the heavy feeling that an epic blockbuster should have. In addition, the story conflict design is insufficient, the suspense setting is simple, and the final counterattack looks ridiculous. This kind of plot is too similar to the usual methods in old Hong Kong movies. With the ability to control this kind of epic blockbuster, he is still suitable for making fashion comedy action movies like "xx Raiders", and he will do very well.

However, the film is not useless. Director Ma Chucheng, who was born in photography, has a good aesthetic and the landscape is very beautiful. Her one-man show, if she is an absolute heroine, she will not be able to support this film at all. If it is the newly famous Little Swallow Zhao Wei, He Mu is still worried that she will not be able to play Mulan well, but after so many years of rising in the entertainment industry Ups and downs, Zhao Wei is no longer that simple little girl, she is even going to be a mother, her perception of life and ability to control the role are no longer what they used to be, I believe that "Mulan" will become Miss Wei's little girl. Swallow, Yao Mulan and other characters were later created with a classic character.

After the film was finished, Zhao Wei and other main creators had to deal with the reporters' questions. The response to the premiere was good. After all, if you don't watch the film with a critical eye, it is still a relatively qualified epic war blockbuster, and there are With a strong cast, the audience enjoyed watching it very much.

After greeting Li Ming in the audience, He Mu slipped away quietly. During this period, a clever reporter did not interview the crew of "Mulan", but secretly followed He Mu out of the movie theater, trying to stop He Mu from coming out. Regarding the question of sister’s pregnancy, He Mu has never answered this question directly before, which made the reporters very anxious, for fear that other media would get the exact news first. The gap has widened.

Seeing reporters chasing them out, and there were quite a few of them, He Mu immediately signaled to his Second General Wu Fa and Wu Tian to stop them. He deliberately concealed the news of his wife's pregnancy, and he dared to speak out about such things as marriage. It can be seen that he didn't care about such things. He was just worried that those reporters would pester Zilin after the news leaked out. That was because he didn't want to. I see, so it's better to let them pester yourself.

The next day He Mu had already returned to the crew of "Shama Town". After watching the movie yesterday, he just went home and talked with Zi Lin and the baby in his stomach for an hour, and then hurried to catch the evening plane. On the way to the airport, I also received a thank you call from Zhao Wei. Zhao Wei asked He Mu what he thought of "Mulan".

He Mu is not so straightforward. There are many unsatisfactory aspects of the movie, but He Mu always chooses the good aspects to make comments. If he says something harsh, he is afraid that it will irritate sister Wei. He Mu is very kind. .

But Miss Wei is very smart now, she asked, "If the movie is really that good, why don't you praise it on Weibo?"

Zhao Wei also plays Weibo, with hundreds of thousands of fans. She is a celebrity who started playing earlier and more. She and He Mu are fans of each other. She knows that He Mu likes to comment on some movies and books on Weibo, but he has One characteristic is that he only evaluates the movies and books he likes, even if the movies and books have nothing to do with him, he will spare no effort to recommend them. He won't say anything more, since this kid didn't praise "Mulan" on Weibo immediately, it's obvious that this movie didn't catch his eye.

Zhao Wei told him her own analysis of He Mu, and He Mu was amazed after hearing it, "It is said that pregnant women will become stupid. Miss Wei, I just realized how ridiculous this is!"
