Big names rise

Wang Mingfei went directly to He Mu's house. Although she said "I'm here for you", she didn't have any sense of defection. She told He Mu that she had a script here, hoping to make some connections with Boss He.

But she does have this capital now, she is the assistant director of "Zibuyu", she also served as the assistant director of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", and she also sings the lyrics and music of the theme song "Moyu", She also specially filmed the theme song MV starring her, which is quite valued by Lao Mouzi. She served as an assistant director in two films with a combined box office of over 10 billion. This is a reason worthy of reuse by many film companies. And behind her there are connections from Bayi Studios.

After two great directors, He Mu and Zhang Yimou, had enriched themselves, Wang Mingfei also came up with the idea of ​​making an independent movie. Perhaps it was because they were all big directors. With three simple words, I secretly sighed that this girl had a lot of ambition, ""Zhang Ailing", why do you want to shoot Zhang Ailing?"

"I have liked to read her books since I was a child, and I have a certain understanding of her life. I think her life is a legendary life, full of twists and turns, and full of drama. If it is filmed, it will be a very good story. And I also I can guarantee to convince Ni Ni to play the leading role." Wang Mingfei pointed out that she took good care of Ni Ni in the "Jinling" crew, and if her "Eileen Chang" script was good enough, it would be easier for Ni Ni to work there.

With the hot screening of "Jinling", Ni Ni, a prostitute who is acting for the first time, has undoubtedly become the darling of the media and fashion magazines. Her talent and popularity are enough to be valued by any film company boss.He Mu was also very optimistic about this newcomer, but he didn't agree immediately, "Phi, do you know that if this kind of biographical film needs to be meticulously crafted, the cost of restoring the scene and the era is very high, and the investment cost At the same time, the box office results of this type of movies are very mediocre, although Ni Ni is a prostitute, but after all, she has only made one movie, I can't count on her to pull the box office."

"No, your box office last year was several billion. You can't support literary films, you really need money." Wang Mingfei teased that they were friends.There is no scruples in speaking.

"Why don't I support it anymore? Fatty Li's first film is a literary film. Mizuki has already booked it, but the production cost is very low. But look at your "Zhang Ailing". It's old Shanghai again, and the war is raging again. How much does it cost to go to the United States, and how can I earn it back!" He Mu looked distressed.

"In the end, I still want money!" Wang Mingfei gave He Mu a final look in disappointment.

Seeing Wang Mingfei's disappointed expression, He Mu no longer tensed up, "Actually, it's not impossible for me to invest in this movie for you. I think your script is well written. For a director who was born as a cameraman, it is already considered a good movie. Not bad, it seems that you have worked hard on script writing and historical data research, and you know, I have always wanted to challenge some villainous roles, maybe I will play the male lead for you, so although the investment will be greater, but The payback may also be higher.”

"You mean, you want to play Hu Lancheng for me!?" Wang Mingfei said in surprise, this happiness came too soon.

"I think it's quite boring to play a positive character all the time. No matter how you look at it, Hu Lancheng is not a positive character. He is unfaithful to the country and his wife. He is a complicated and typical character. I really want to try it. But the premise is that I have a schedule, and I should be very busy in the past two years." He Mu said.

"Then do you have any special request?" He Mu agreed so happily, and even spared himself. This is too abnormal, and Wang Mingfei was a little worried.

"Actually, it's nothing. I think it's not good for you to make such a big production for the first time. In this way, the company now has several good commercial film scripts, but the director has not yet been determined. I will leave it to you to control. One is to allow you to exercise your experience and ability to direct alone, after all, you have always been an assistant director before, and two, if the film can generate profits, I can increase investment when you make "Eileen Chang", how about it?"

Wang Mingfei rolled her eyes. This is a good idea. What He Mu said really makes sense. As a director for the first time, I wanted to perfectly record Zhang Ailing's extraordinary life with video. I am too confident in myself. First use a small cost It is also good for me to test the waters of the film, so Wang Mingfei chose an urban emotional comedy script called "Lai Bao's Diary" from He Mu. He Mu originally wanted to give the book to Yang Qing, the director of "Night Shop", but since Wang Mingfei has chosen it, let her do it. This type of film is not what Wang Mingfei is good at. She should choose this to direct for herself The skill is more comprehensive.

Because the script is already mature and does not require much investment, He Mu asked Wang Mingfei to complete the filming work in the first half of the year, and put it into the market for testing in the second half of the year. As for "Eileen Chang", the decision can only be made after the results of "Lai Bao Diary" come out. Whether to shoot immediately, if the word-of-mouth and box office of "Lai Bao" can be justified, this is also the recognition of Wang Mingfei's directorship, and proves that she is qualified to make a literary blockbuster of the level of "Zhang Ailing".

As a result, Shuimu Forest has another movie this year, but it is still relatively weak. The most blockbuster movie is only "Zibuyu 2".

Now entering 2012, last year's results have returned to zero, and new challenges are in sight. Mizuki will release two episodes of "Sediq Bale" soon, and Bona Company is the first to launch a fierce offensive in the Lunar New Year file.

Last week, "Intimate Enemy" lost word of mouth when it played against "Those Years", but the box office was still good. The next week earned 4300 million, two weeks 8800 million, and the box office was over 2300 million. Ten thousand, but this is an achievement when high-definition pirated versions have already flowed out, which is already very worthy of respect.In addition, "Big Card", which was released for five weeks, earned another 2100 million yuan, with a total box office of 5.36 million. , it will exceed 5.31 million next week, and the two directors Zhang Yimou and Tsui Hark have refreshed their best results in the mainland.

This week, Bona had two movies released, and they occupied the first and second places in the weekly rankings as soon as they came. The fourth part of "Big Big Wolf" "Happy Year of the Dragon".

He Mu still likes Er Dongsheng's works very much, but he is most concerned about "Pleasant Goat 4" now, and he very much hopes that "Sheep 4" can achieve greater success at the box office, because he has placed advertisements in this film... (to be continued..)
