Big names rise

After returning to China, He Mu plans to rest for a period of time. Apart from some work at hand, he does not plan to take on other jobs. The China Film Group has already let go of the word that a new litter of wolf cubs will be born in two or three months. "Totem" is expected to be launched in Inner Mongolia in March. It would be too tiring to film in the four months in between. Although He Mu is now a rare commodity in China, it is rare that he has no filming. Many big directors want to cooperate. But They were all rejected by him.

It seems that the only major director who can see He Mu now is Chen Kaige. This is because the two are discussing some matters about "Dust Settled". Now Chen Kaige and Lu Wei have finalized the script of the movie. It took just over two hours. It is not an easy task to interpret a very good novel, especially after Wang Quanan messed up "White Deer Plain", Chen Kaige was more cautious. "Search" made him regain some vitality and popularity, but it was not enough. He needs a heavyweight movie to bring himself back to the top. People used to say that Zhang Chenfeng, the top three directors in the mainland, is now his weakling. Besides, directors like Jiang Wen and He Mu are catching up. Fight.

In order to get the best results, Chen Kaige will go to the Tibetan area to investigate and prepare for the scene after the next year. By the way, he will find inspiration in the Tibetan area. The work will be completed in about half a year, but He Mu will be filming "Wolf Totem" in Inner Mongolia in half a year. Well, so the start of the film has to be postponed, and it may take 14 years to start. Chen Kaige said that he can wait. He had also taken a fancy to Xu Haofeng's martial arts novel of the Republic of China, but now it seems that the shooting will be postponed.

During this time, He Mu will not be idle, except for filming.He has other things to be busy with. First of all, his own new script is being created. After the first draft is completed, he will work with the company's drama creation department to perfect it.

In addition, he will voice Shu Ke in "Shu Ke and Beta".Another protagonist, Beta, invited Huang Bo, the golden horse actor with a professional background in dubbing. Although there is no need for centralized dubbing, He Mu has been asking Huang Bo in private for advice on how to be a good voice actor.The joining of two heavyweight actors makes the film's market appeal not to be underestimated. He Mu does not want the theaters to treat this film as an ordinary Chinese cartoon. The series attaches great importance to these two mice, and in turn, He Ye will also demand "Shu Ke and Beta" with the technical standards of "Kung Fu Panda".Even if it is slightly worse, it will definitely be very different from previous domestic CG animation movies.

None of this matters, whether it's the start of a new film or the completion of "Shook and Beta."It is estimated that it will definitely not be seen in 13. What is more urgent now is the promotion of "Zibuyu 3".

Although there are still more than three months before the release date, He Mu dare not be sloppy, even though he already has the word-of-mouth accumulation of the previous two films.Propaganda is very easy to do.As long as the poster of this movie is hung in the cinema, the auditorium will be full, but that is without a strong opponent, but now, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is also released on the same day, although the opponent is a 3D movie, I am 2D, although He Mu has seen the feature film and thinks it is of high quality, but he never dares to underestimate Zhou Xingchi's appeal.This is a tough battle, and "Thailand" and "Panda Burning Incense" can lose.But "Zibuyu 3" must not lose.

As for Li Wenhua's "A Little Thing", He Mu didn't expect the box office of this movie at all, but he didn't know if it would break the lowest box office released by Shuimu Forest. Now the record is "The Piano of Steel" with 1140 million .

"A Little Thing" avoids "Life of Pi" directed by Ang Lee and the 3D re-screening of "" "". The former has a Chinese director named Ang Lee. Low, and the latter is purely trying to copy the box office miracle of the 3D version of "Titanic", maybe they think the Chinese are stupid and rich.

It is precisely because of these considerations that "A Little Thing" was released in mid-November. At the same time, only one Hollywood animation "Guardian Alliance" was considered a blockbuster. Jaycee Jaycee's famous An Yixuan's "Flowers to the Beast" and the Iranian masterpiece "A Separation".

If the Best Actor winner of the East Film Festival is not a popular star, it is actually of little significance to the box office, just like "The Piano of Steel" back then, but after Mizuki's network marketing, there are also a large number of Weibo big Vs from He Mu and Li Wenhua to help promote it , "A Little Thing" is still very well-known, ranking third among the five new films, and ranked seventh on the weekly list with a weekly box office of 720 million. This result has exceeded He Mu's expectations. At this rate , It is very easy for the total box office to exceed [-] million, and it is not a dream to surpass "The Piano of Steel".

After the release of "Fantasy Drifting of Boy Pi", He Mu went to see the 3D version. The beautiful scenes and the story with mysterious connotations are full of tension and exciting to watch, although most of the time the movie is only One person, one tiger, but it is so addictive. After the film was released, the word-of-mouth of the film quickly spread online and offline. The box office in the first four days was 4 million yuan, and it was about to catch up with Ang Lee. "Lust, Caution" has the highest box office in the mainland (1.06 million for "Lust, Caution"), and according to this word of mouth, it is likely to reverse the decline in the second week.

After this week, the box office of "A Little Thing" reached 1120 million, and it will definitely surpass "The Piano of Steel" before the picture is released. Finally, Li Wenhua doesn't have to worry about being at the bottom.

These days, He Mu is mostly with Li Wenhua. They also met Han Sanping just now. Li Wenhua can be regarded as a new director who has won glory for the country. He Mu wants to introduce him to the Film Directors Association. Han Sanping.

Although Han Sanping is also a director, he does not serve in the Directors Association. He came this time mainly to prepare for the new Chinese Film Awards.

He Mu had previously proposed at the Producers Association to create a film award that is more authoritative than the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Huabiao, more inclusive than the Golden Horse, and the Golden Statue, and open to all Chinese-language films and Chinese-language film workers. The center of the world, thus expanding the influence of Chinese films.

After the proposal, He Mu was busy filming, and he didn't mention it again. He didn't expect that Han Sanping and the others really wanted to get such an award. He will be worried about offending people. After all, the rise of new awards will be accompanied by the decline of old awards, but he is not worried now. He is about to resign anyway. He is not afraid of offending people. After being the head of Chinese films for so long, he hopes to be able to Leaving some different things for later generations, and at the same time making his name and Chinese movies last forever...
