Big names rise

Chen Li went to call everyone to watch the movie, and he still had to wait for more than half an hour. He Mu met with the director Feixing in the office, and now he is reading the script written by him. He hopes to finish watching "The Expendables" before the screening. judgment.

He Mu met director Feixing when he was on the set of "Painted Skin". Back then, Feixing was a consultant from investor Xiao Kaila, and occasionally discussed the plot and filming with director Chen Jiashang. He Mu was just a small The supporting role, male No. [-], has seen this non-line director from afar, but he is not familiar with it. Now it is only after goodbye that he remembers seeing him before.

According to the director, this script is of a crime type. Crime-themed movies are relatively rare in China, because the broadcasting and television stations are very strict, and they can’t pass the trial, so no one shoots it. He Mu first had a good impression of him, and if Chinese-language movies want to go far, they must let a hundred flowers bloom.As a country with a big culture and a country determined to be a movie powerhouse, every type of movie has to have a few representative works that can be shot, so that we can say that there are complete movie types here.Although Korean movies have developed rapidly in recent years, they have placed too much emphasis on crime movies, and other genres have not performed outstandingly. However, Chinese-language movies are precisely the crime genre.

I started to read the script. At the beginning, it was about a few college students visiting a small town and staying in the old house of one of the college students Chu Xiaoli’s parents and friends. There was a housekeeper named Chen Zhihui and a black cat in the house. Then the college students were killed one by one, and finally the heroine Chu Xiaoli was almost subdued by Chen Zhihui, but she escaped and called the police to kill Chen Zhihui.

He Mu frowned.The plot is old-fashioned enough, it was common in Hong Kong horror movies a few years ago, and it has nothing new.And now it seems that it is only one-third of the page, but the criminal seems to have been executed, so what else can be left behind.

Based on the principle of respect, He Mu continued to watch patiently. Since Chen Zhihui was arrested, it seems that the plot has returned to the front. It is about the part before Chen Zhihui came to the old house. In a hotel, he met a young man named Zhou Dong. People... Huh.It's interesting, He Mu's face softened a little, as if he saw some bright spots.I also basically understood Feixing's arrangement of the plot. At the end of the second part, because of Zhou Dong's few words, Chen Zhihui chose to go to that ancient house for revenge.

Then came the third episode.This period is earlier in time.It was Chen Zhihui who had just been released from prison. He was planning to go straight back to his hometown, his cousin's house, but because of an incident with a group of people, he had already let go and was determined to seek an explanation for himself, so at the fork in the road, he Another path was chosen.

This script uses a flashback method. Many crime films like to disrupt the chronological order, just to make the plot seem mysterious and mysterious.But the script of "Watchmen" is different, and the flashbacks are used very cleverly.Seeing the end, He Mu almost screamed. When a person is wandering at the intersection of life, everyone he meets, everything he experiences, or every word he hears may lead to a People are going to the abyss of sin beyond redemption, and finally Chen Zhihui embarked on a road of no return, which makes people feel embarrassed. He is also a poor person. At the end of the script, when Chen Zhihui's brother and sister-in-law were at home watching the return of his brother who was released from prison , He Mu even felt a little moved and sour.

If you only read the first paragraph of the script, He Mu will give him 50 points, which is a failure. If you read the second paragraph, He Mu can give him 70 points, which is quite good. If you read all three paragraphs, He Mu will give him 90 points. Point, this is a good story, an absolute crime classic, especially this is a Chinese film, the rare subject matter makes He Mu more confident in local crime films.

"Director Feixing, I like this story very much. We can discuss the future cooperation in detail. Are you interested in watching a movie with me now?" He Mu warmly invited. Feixing said that he had polished this script for many years. I broke up with the producers in Hong Kong, because they interfered too much in his filming, and even the cameraman could change his script, so he chose to quit, and his good buddy Xiao Kai also quit, One of the producers of "Painted Skin".Xiao Kai also has some investment in "The Watcher", but it is far from enough, so he is investing in Feixing all over the world, and Feixing himself does not want to wait for the pie to fall from the sky. A film company just ran to Shuimu Forest. He said that He Mu was one of the few film company bosses who could finish the script, and many people just dismissed him after seeing the first paragraph.

After watching "The Expendables", the "audience" was so addicted, their adrenaline soared!He Mu's hanging heart was finally relieved. The 300 million was definitely worth the money. Although the plot was simple and old-fashioned, the scene was really hot, and there was no pressure to sell 2000 million at the box office.Chen Li and the others wanted to watch "Leng Xin", but He Mu told them with regret that the copy of "Leng Xin" was carried by Jeff, and he has returned to He Mu's house now.

Next, He Mu asked Chen Li to arrange the preparations before the release of "The Expendables", such as translation, copying, publicity, etc., and the release of foreign language films is an interesting attempt for Shuimu Forest.

In addition, he still needs to contact Xiao Kai and Feixing to discuss the cooperation of "Watchmen: Lost in Evil". There is no need to always stare at low-cost comedies that are easy to make money. It is time to develop in an all-round way. Two days ago, Lan Chenxing also completed the task assigned to him by He Mu. Other screenwriters of the joint company wrote a truck The road movie with the theme of drag racing, called "Big Car", is both funny and exciting, but the investment will be relatively large. He Mu intends to prepare this movie in late 10 or early 11. Of course, the director is definitely not him.

At the same time, the promotion work of "Love Announcement" is also in full swing, and it will be released soon. Chen Li is under a lot of pressure.

Back at his home, Jeff and his cousin Song Xuan were waiting for him to say goodbye. They came to the capital together, and then they planned to go back to Shicheng first, to see Sigu, and then return to the United States. Before leaving, Jeff told He Mu Help take care of the kid he brought.

Speaking of a child, you are actually in your 20s, only three or four years younger than He Mu, and you look very young. His name is Dewey Cook, and he is the son of Andrew Cook, the chief photographer of "Cold Heart". A chubby Chinese-American mixed-race boy, not at all handsome as a mixed-race boy should be. When Jeff and his wife came, they took him to meet He Mu and told him to ask Uncle He Mu if he had anything to do. Well, Jeff has always treated him like a nephew. , He Mu was naturally promoted to the uncle generation.

Dewey is now studying directing theory at Beijing Film Academy as an exchange student. The film theory courses at Beijing Film Academy are well-known all over the world. He was a student at the School of Film Arts at the University of Southern California before. His alumni include Steven S. Pierberg, George Lucas, Robert Zemeckis (director of "Forrest Gump"), Ron Howard and other world's top directors.

He Mu promised Jeff to help him take care of his old friend's son. If he wanted, he could go to Shuimu Forest to do odd jobs. After sending Jeff and Sister Xuan away, He Mu rushed into the baby room to tease He Yiche, for more than two months The older she grew, the cuter she became, which made He Mu, the father, more and more fond of her. However, He Mu also had troubles, such as, "Husband, Bayi peed, please change her diaper."

Holding a high-grade soft diaper, He Mu became terrified when he saw the little kid rolling around on the bed with bare buttocks, "Girl, please be honest, let Dad change the diaper for you."

"Hehehe..." He Bayi smiled happily and rolled, but he didn't let He Mu touch her. It's so comfortable to be naked in summer. With her daughter being so uncooperative, He Mu couldn't do anything at the moment. Lin came over, and He Mu hurriedly asked his wife for help.

But Zilin refused to help, "It's been more than two months since my daughter was born. You have been busy and haven't changed her diaper yet. This is a compulsory course for a father. You will make up this lesson today. I am won't help you."

He Mu had no choice but to accept his fate, "Then you give me technical guidance." Then He Mu started to deal with the uncooperative He Bayi under Zi Lin's guidance. This girl can't even crawl, but she can roll, Xiao The arms and legs are very strong, and I will get it when I grow up.

"You're done!" He Mu finally completed the first diaper change in his life, full of a sense of accomplishment in his heart, he raised Bayi above his head, as if admiring a peerless treasure, at this moment Zi Lin seized the opportunity to "click" She took a picture of this harmonious and beautiful picture of father and daughter. She must keep it as a collection. When her daughter grows up and her husband is too old to lift her, let her have a look. She will definitely be very moved. It is a memory belonging to their family.

After entering August, "Tangshan Earthquake" is still dominating the market, and "The Battle of Shama Town" stubbornly seized the market share from "The Great Earthquake" with the attitude of a healing comedy. Last week's box office list, " Tangshan Earthquake" is still unbreakable occupying the first place, with a weekly box office of 2.34 million and a total of 4.18 million. At the beginning, Huayi shouted the slogan of [-] million box office, and now it is about to be realized, and it is very easy to achieve.

Breaking 147 million is every minute. This will be He Mu this year The second movie with over [-] million yuan is also the fourth movie with over [-] million yuan he starred in.
