Big names rise

At the end of August, after filming the last shot of "Dust Settled", the physically and mentally exhausted main creative staff finally breathed a sigh of relief. During the period of re-shooting, due to the harsh natural conditions, the crew still had some miscellaneous accidents. But fortunately, the two core directors of the crew, Chen Kaige and the leading actor He Mu, have survived this difficult period and ensured the quality of the film.

At the wrap-up banquet, Chen Kaige said that he would take a month off before starting post production, He Mu felt very reasonable, "It should be, Director Chen has worked hard during this time."

"It's worth the hard work. I'll take this movie to Cannes when it's finished." Chen Kaige said with ambition.

Cannes is his blessed land. There, the film "Farewell My Concubine" with the best reputation in the history of Chinese film was released, and it became the only Chinese film to win the Cannes Palme d'Or. So far no Chinese director has achieved this. Cannes and "Farewell My Concubine" have made Chen Kaige one of the top three mainland directors, and even after making so many substandard films behind him, he still hasn't completely fallen behind.

Now, "Dust Settled" has given Chen Kaige enough confidence. China Film and Mizuki gave him this opportunity. Acting so crazy, if he can't win an award, he may really wonder if he is really no longer suitable to be a director.

After the movie finished, He Mu returned to Beijing immediately to participate in the 12 million box office celebration of "Ladder of Love", and just a few days ago, he just missed the [-] billion box office celebration of "Tomb Raiders Notes", so he could only congratulate Tao Quduo on the phone .

The success of "Tomb Raiders Notes" was expected, but such success exceeded expectations.Just from the box office revenue alone, the investment in the first film was fully recovered and a fortune was made.

The movie earned 11.4 billion at the box office in the first four weeks, beating "Brain in Heaven" at the beginning of the year.Temporarily ranking first in the annual Chinese film, "Transformers 4" chose to withdraw after a full month of release, and gained a super high box office of 18.7 billion, which was more than the box office in North America. After "Tomb Raiders", the key was extended, which is I think it is possible to break the 12.58 billion Chinese-language film history record of "Tai囧", but it is a pity that too many movies will explode later. "Little Times 3", "The Future Will Never End", and "The Ladder of Love" broke through 12.15 million successively, attracting a large number of films and audiences. "Tomb Raiders" had to stop at [-] billion.After all, the godlike "Lost in Thailand" was not defeated, and the number of viewers was nearly ten million.

However, "Tomb Raider" surpassed "Zi Bu Yu 3" and successfully promoted to the second box office in the history of Chinese films. What is proud of is the top three Chinese film box office "Tai囧" 12.58 billion, "Tomb Notes" 12.15 billion, "Zi Bu" Language 3" 11.81 billion are all works of Mizuki Sensei.And "Tomb Raider Notes" is a series of movies. After "Tai囧", "Hong Kong囧" is already preparing for filming. In the future, director Xu Zheng will also shoot "Indian囧" and other "囧" series. They are all seed players to update the box office records of Chinese films. Potential of more than a billion.

The high box office of "Tomb Raiders Notes" is expected, and "Ladder of Love" is unexpected. When it was released, Han Han's "Afternoon" has exceeded 3 million, surpassing the previous one. Tiny Times 3".At this time, the film market was already very lively, with legitimately popular films such as "Tomb Raider Notes", "Little Times [-]", and "The Future Will Never End".Later, in order to compete for the schedule of the Qixi Festival, "Girlfriends", "The White-haired Witch: Tomorrow's Empire", and "Ladder of Love" also rushed to the beach.

Among the three new films, "White-haired Witch" is the most popular because of its blockbuster temperament, but unfortunately, its reputation has been extremely poor. However, "Ladder of Love", which was released a day later, has an amazing reputation and has accumulated a super high road on its first day of release. Popularity, finally broke out on the day of Qixi Festival, and won 1.02 million box office that day, leaving "White-haired Witch" and "Girlfriend" far away. On that day, almost all couples came to the theater. Only leftover girls and sisters who are accompanied by boyfriends will choose "Girlfriends".

However, because there are too many popular movies in the same period, the box office of "Ladder of Love" is not as big as "Tomb Raiders" or even "Little Times 3" and "The Future Will Be Unexpected". The highest box office is 1.02 million on Saturday, Qixi Festival. , it can be regarded as the top few in 2D movies, but the performance on other dates is relatively normal. The box office on the first three days was 2.1 million, and Saturday accounted for half of it.

After that, the word-of-mouth of "Ladder of Love" continued to ferment. Many people were not interested in this kind of pure love story of grandpa and grandma, but they were persuaded by those who had seen it that they should go and watch it. , The shots are all very blockbuster, and the rhythm is bright, not dull. After the 118-minute movie is finished, people feel that the meaning is still unfinished and the aftertaste is endless.

Stimulated by word-of-mouth, "Ladder of Love" reached 1.6 million in the second week, 9500 million in the third week, and 5100 million in the fourth week. The same period is much lower. This is due to the fact that there are no high-quality blockbusters in this popular schedule in August. Only "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 3" at the end of the month is somewhat threatening. The rest, Shishi Zhang Zhen's "Xiu Chun Knife" was poorly announced "How to Train Your Dragon 2" is far less popular than its predecessor. Gu Tianle's "Anti-Corruption Storm" without Qingyun Yanzu's Iron Triangle lineup is much less attractive, and "Four Famous Catchers 2" has Deng Chao, Liu Yifei, the two popular male and female stars, is also unable to recover from this rotten series.

So "Ladder of Love" continued to make great strides after the extension of the key. As a literary and romantic movie, although the first half was not so strong, it had a lot of stamina. By the end of September, the box office had accumulated as high as 6.23 million, becoming a summer file. After the 6.51 million "Afternoon" is another [-] million-level high-grossing movie, some people even speculate that as long as this movie continues to be released, it is possible to break the [-] million box office, because there are still many couples who haven't watched enough. It is a classic love movie that is enough to leave a name in film history. The movie perfectly presents a true love epic.

Yu Feihong also took advantage of the opportunity to squeeze out Xue Xiaolu, becoming the second highest-grossing female director of Chinese-language films.The first is of course the director Zhao Wei of "To Youth". The box office of 7.85 million is still scary, and it is still a debut work.

When "Ladder of Love" came to the end of the screening.Shuimu Forest's 3D thriller blockbuster "Beijing No. 81" unexpectedly became the darling of the box office again, breaking the box office record of Tao Quduo's horror film. At this time, He Mu also devoted himself to "Xi. Before the filming of ", He Mu, with Zi Lin's permission, planned to secretly go to the United States.

Shishi took advantage of the few months when her stomach was not yet pregnant to deal with all the remaining work at hand, and Datang acted as the manager of the two.He is also one of Xiao Hetang's Big Three, of course he knows what happened to the two of them, so Shishi has been turned down by him for the second half of the year including next year's work.Originally, Shishi was confirmed to star in the literary "Muslim's Funeral", which was also postponed.

Now Shishi's belly is already a little protruding, and she is almost unable to hide it. If she is photographed by reporters, the entertainment circle will definitely be uneasy again.Even He Mu will be brought up again.Although there is "Flood and Beast" as evidence, if Shishi becomes a big belly woman, He Mu must still be the first object of suspicion.

So Shishi ran to the United States when she felt that it was almost done, and the reason for the domestic fans was to recharge and study. It's unrealistic, He Mu was already very moved by Zi Lin's ability to do this, and He Mu would feel embarrassed if he went too far.So it's better to separate, at worst, he will run at both ends in the future.Get tired when you get tired.

He Mu's main work in 14 and 15 was to direct a movie "Xi. Nian" and starred in Li Wenhua's new film "Piracy Tycoon" based on his father. Only these two things, other time It is to accompany the two families in China and the United States, prepare to welcome the arrival of new life, and do their best to promote the upcoming three films "Shook and Beta", "Wolf Totem" and "Dust Settled". It is scheduled to be released in the Lunar New Year file, the Spring Festival file and the summer file in turn.

If "Xi. Year" is classified according to genre, it should be regarded as a mythological film. It talks about the traditional Chinese custom-the origin of the year. In his script, he combines the two most mainstream theories in China. The beast, the young boy who sacrificed himself, is also a monster that ravages the towns and turns people's faces. In this movie, He Mu entrusted his desire for family. It is more profound and timeless, although the visual effects of this movie will also be very, very shocking.

Although the heroine of the movie is Xiao Shuidian, the two monsters Xi and Nian are the two monsters who really play a role. So from another perspective, this is also a monster movie, but it is not aimed at scaring. What is important is culture, inheritance and blood.

During the period when the filming of "Dust Settled" was suspended, He Mu had basically completed the preparations. Coupled with the preparations during this period, the film finally started in October.

The shooting of the film lasted for four months. There were both real-time shootings and a large number of shots completed in front of the green screen. After that, there will be nearly a year of post-production. The film may not be released until 2016 up.

During He Mu's filming period, he rarely appeared in front of the public, but he also knew about the outside world, mainly the news in the film field, such as the box office of "Heart Blossoming Road" was so hot on National Day, and he couldn't stop it at all , almost knocked down the annual title of "Tomb Raiders Notes", but unfortunately it stopped at 11.6 billion. However, the terrible box office gold-absorbing ability of the two box office kings, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng, has been recognized. Another example is Chen Kexin's "Dear". , the box office is outstanding, and it is expected to show its power at the second Golden Dragon Awards. For example, "The Golden Age" directed by Xu Anhua lost the box office and lost word of mouth, but the sincerity of the director and the actors is moving.

There is also the shattering of Zhen Zidan's myth, because too many bad movies were received, and he lost his integrity. Now he has made a good "One Man's Martial Arts", but no one supports him.

He Mu also paid attention to the Golden Horse Awards in November. Chen Jianbin won three awards alone, and was crowned Golden Horse Best Actor. Being won by a Taiwanese actress and being controversial, one of the biggest features of this year's Golden Horse Awards is that there is almost no coverage in the mainland. Unlike the previous major portals competing to report, this year the mainland has collectively silenced the Golden Horse, and sporadic reports are also concentrated On Chen Jianbin and Golden Horse winner "Massage".

On the other hand, for the Golden Dragon Awards, the nominations have not yet been announced, but the media and the Internet have already made a lot of noise. Everyone is guessing who this year's Best Actor and Queen will be awarded.

When the nomination list was announced on the Internet in mid-January, the three pre-Lunar New Year films, "Shook and Beta", "One Step Away", and "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom", were in full swing. The Nian Guan Nianya of "Heart Blossoming Road" has fallen, and He Mu is holding a finale banquet. After seeing the long list, He Mu smiled. Fortunately, he has a best actor nomination this time. Finally have the face to rub the red carpet.

The Golden Dragon Award ceremony will be in March, and He Mu has already planned that he will accompany Shishi in the United States to give birth to the child in February before the award ceremony, but what should the child be called?

Well, go home and ask his sister Bayi for her opinion, she is a very thoughtful ghost girl... (to be continued...)

ps: [End of the book——finally, it ended in a dull way. I feel lost, and I feel that a stone in my heart can finally be let go. It's very easy. Please allow Baifo to take it easy, and then write a testimonial or summary, and explain what will happen later. I wrote a few extra stories. Although the book is over, the story is not over yet. There are still some plots that will be explained through the extra episodes. Of course, there is also a new book to be released next month~ er, that’s all for now, good night~]
