Big names rise

A new box office record for mainland Chinese films was born. On Friday, the fourth week of its release, "Painted Skin 2" surpassed the 6.69 million box office created by "Tangshan Earthquake" two years ago, and the new record is still set by Huayi Brother, this made the second king of Huayi unspeakably excited and full of sense of accomplishment.

Although "Zi Bu Yu" is still the key to the global box office champion of Chinese films, there is not much attention to this data except for those data controlers. Everyone is more concerned about the domestic box office situation. He Mu himself also recognizes the ranking of mainland box office film history It is obvious that the current Chinese-language film market pays more attention to the local market, and the pursuit of outward expansion is inevitable. Earning money from foreigners is always a pleasure, but the premise is that the film must satisfy the appreciation taste and aesthetic taste of the local audience, and cannot blindly cater to overseas. Audience, this is putting the cart before the horse, because this is the soil where local movies were born, and the most intuitive manifestation is the box office in the mainland.

After the domestic box office of 2.59 million in the first week, in the second week, in the face of the powerful new film "Four Famous Catchers", "Cold Heart 2" did not decline significantly. 2.56 million, although it did not exceed the box office of "Painted Skin 2" in two weeks, but compared with myself, this speed has completely surpassed the first one, and it should not be difficult to break the box office of [-] million.

In addition to "Zibuyu 2", which is currently in theaters, the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea are all blooming. In this joyful atmosphere, Shuimu Forest officially announced that the director Tao Quduo will go to the United States for consultation in the near future. Regarding the specific matters of the Hollywood film "Cold Heart 3", this time he is not the director of the original version.Not as a screenwriter, but as a director and screenwriter to participate in the creation of Rubik's Cube Films. The directorship of this Hollywood blockbuster horror film has been determined to be in the hands of Tao Quduo.

After the news was announced.The media was in an uproar. The first two films in the "Cold Heart" series were both worth [-] million US dollars, which might not be a big deal in the world, but the global box office of each film was higher than that of "Zi Bu Yu". Horror movies, this result can be said to be very good, and this series also has a lot of loyal audiences all over the world.Not only can it contribute to the box office, but it can also spend money on derivatives such as Blu-ray DVDs.

Even in Hollywood, this series is a project that many foreign directors covet.After all, the American film market is just like that. Over the years, the ups and downs have been very small. A film that can make over [-] million domestic box office is still a horror film.That's heartwarming enough.

But.Such a sweet pastry, but spent on a Chinese director without a Hollywood background, is not American. While the Chinese media is cheering for Director Tao Quduo, many Western media are puzzled by this and worry about this Oriental director. The Kid would screw it up, even mocking the Rubik's Cube executives for losing themselves in the face of the incredible success of The Hunger Games for making such bad decisions.

However, when some media reported Tao Quduo's status as an Asian horror master.And learned that he has raised the box office record of horror films in mainland China from tens of millions to more than [-] million, and that several works have far-reaching influence in Asia.This kind of questioning has become less, coupled with the successful cases of Wen Ziren and Huang Yiyu, so many outstanding Chinese horror film directors, and Tao Quduo, who also has a Chinese background, has also been placed with great expectations. This will be another film since Wu Yusen. The works of Chinese directors who are highly valued at home and abroad enter Hollywood.

In addition to this good news for Tao Quduo, the multinational production "Wolf Totem" led by China Film Group and invested by Shuimu Forest held a press conference in Beijing. At the press conference, producers Zhang Qiang and An Xiaofen , Wang Weiming, Chen Li, director Jean-Jacques Arnold and his team were all present, but none of the actors came. The reporters photographed only a group of well-trained wolves besides the main creators.

Director A Nuo said that the crew of "Wolf Totem" has officially started operation, but the official shooting will have to wait until March next year. He is waiting for the birth of a new generation of wolf cubs, and he is also waiting for the season climate that he is satisfied with.

As a super long-selling novel that has been popular in China for more than ten years and has accumulated sales of nearly [-] million, this movie has been received by all parties since it was announced that it would be directed by Jean-Jacques Arnault, the director of such famous works as "Tiger Brothers and Tiger Brothers". He has spent four years training wolves, and now, the film is finally about to start. In addition to looking forward to seeing this masterpiece as soon as possible, everyone is most concerned about the starring candidates.

However, at the opening press conference, Director Arnold made a fuss and did not announce the list of leading actors. However, the smart media thought that one of the investors of this movie was Shuimu Forest, so they couldn't help but associate He Mu as the leading actor.

Immediately afterwards, after the launch conference of "Wolf Totem", He Mu appeared at the launch conference of the movie "Witness of the People" directed by Shuimu Forest Investment and directed by Fei Xing. main character.

This is a movie with two male protagonists. The other male protagonist is played by the famous hardcore movie star Sun Honglei. The two male protagonists on the stage showed sympathy for each other. It's what I wanted.In order to star in this movie, Sun Honglei turned down more than a dozen scripts, and He Mu even gave up the "Chinese Partner" sent by Chen Kexin, which he liked very much, and handed over the role of Cheng Dongqing to Huang Xiaoming.

In addition to the lineup of two top male stars, three actresses also add a lot to the film.

The capable and handsome Yu Nan is the film's well-deserved female lead. As she gradually appeared in commercial films, especially as the female lead in "The Expendables 2", Yu Nan's commercial value was quickly discovered. In addition, she is impeccable He Mu is very satisfied with the heroine chosen by director Feixing.

As for the roles of Tong Liya and Lin Yuan, who are relatively weak, Lin Yuan is the daughter of Sun Honglei who played Sun Honglei again after "Halfway Couple", and the two are familiar with each other.Tong Liya plays a pair of lovers with He Mu in the film. A reporter jokingly asked He Mu if his friend Chen Sicheng would be worried. He Mu replied with a smile, "Yes, so he also came to our crew."

He Mu revealed the news of Chen Sicheng's guest appearance in advance. A "Beijing Love Story" made Chen Sicheng's talent gain attention in the controversy, and his popularity exploded. It is also a focus of attention for the film.

Feixing experienced the box office failure of "Watchmen: Guilty Lost" last time. This time, he really tried his best to make a comeback at the box office. A few days after the press conference, the film officially entered the shooting process. It is expected to be 13 years At the beginning of the year, I was able to meet the audience.

Because the publicity period of "Zibuyu 2" has not been completely over, He Mu has to go to several places at home and abroad. It may be a few days later to join the group, but it does not affect the progress. In addition to "National Witness", He Mu also He will be a guest star in "Big Card 2", and he will be a little busy next. (to be continued..)
