Superstars In Parallel Time and Space
Chapter 907
"Brother Lu, I want to discuss two things with you."
Lu Fang was a little surprised. They met not long ago. Unexpectedly, Chen mubai found him again in such a short time.
According to common sense, he should be in the late stage of making iron man, where he has time to run around.
As long as Chen mubai works, he is very serious and responsible. He is never a slacker.
"What''s the matter?" Lu Fang said curiously.
"The reason why the black curtain can impress you is that there must be other things to set off and magnify the seriousness of this matter, so I am going to brush other awards, so that you can see that I can get any award, but if I can''t get the Oscar, the problem will be magnified naturally."
Chen mubai then talks about it in detail. After listening to it, Lu Fang shows the same look as when Qin Qiugang knew about it.
It''s really too amazing. Most people dare not think of such crazy ideas. Chen mubai not only dares to think, but also dares to do it!
"Just be confident. I believe you can do it." Lu put it away for a while and digested the information.
If it''s someone else, he doesn''t believe it, but Chen mubai really believes it.
Because he really watched the rise of Chen mubai all the way. Every impossible thing was done by Chen mubai, and this time was no exception.
Lu Fang has unconditional trust in Chen mubai, because he has been in contact with Chen mubai for the longest time and has seen too many miracles. In his heart, as long as Chen mubai is willing to do anything, he will surely succeed!
"When will the film be made?" Lu Fang asked.
"Now iron man is in the late stage, and you don''t have time to shoot it. It''s going to be next year, right?"
Chen Mu Bai nodded: "almost, the preparatory work of this film will be a long time, and the investment will be huge."
"Big investment in love movies?" Lu Fang was a little surprised.
For the first time, she heard that the films aimed at awards need large investment. Generally, the large investment is commercial films. The cool and gorgeous special effects are the audience''s favorite, which is also the most expensive. A second''s lens will cost hundreds of thousands!
The award-winning literature and art films value the core of the work, the story structure rather than the special effects, so these two are not the same channel.
"Yes, this film not only has impact awards, but I also want to impact the box office." Chen mubai revealed his ambition in his plain eyes.
"Can you do it?" Lu Fang hesitated a little.
"Try, now this era is too impetuous, men and women opposite things emerge in endlessly, some people sell anxiety, I shoot love movies, is for young people to see, love is not pure material, now the public opinion will demonize love, I hope to let young people calm down to think about what is love."
"Bread is the basis of love, but this bread is not equal to material, which causes many people to raise this material to a very high level, which is completely beyond what they should have. This is very unfair to both sides of a real love. If before starting a real relationship, What we think about is not the impression or feeling of the other party in our heart, but whether the other party has money or a car. Then this relationship is not pure, with strong utilitarianism, and there are differences in the payment in love. This is not love. "
"Young people are the biggest consumers of movies. If you want to win over this group, you have to shoot what they are interested in. Love is the key to youth. True love is free, not related to poverty and wealth. The poor also have the right to pursue love. You can''t be very poor but ask each other to be very rich. This is inequality, I just want to use this movie to tell you that love should be pure. "
"Movies not only have love, but also have a lot of thinking. What is a happy life can make some people who have entered the palace of marriage think about it. So the audience of movies is very wide. As long as they operate well, the box office may not be low!"
After hearing Chen mubai''s analysis, Lu Fang thought about it seriously. It''s true.
Many big V users on wechat rely on the opposition between men and women to bring rhythm and earn money. The key is that many people believe and regard their words as the truth, which leads to more and more intense conflicts between men and women.
Young people are the main consumer group, and there are many moonlight people. If movies really interest them, they are willing to go into cinemas to support them.
Moreover, the biggest fan group of Chen mubai is also young people, which has a certain overlap. With Chen mubai''s appeal, no matter how good the quality of the film is, it can really achieve a big sale.
"When happiness knocks on the door" and "I''m not the God of medicine" are not traditional commercial films, but they still sell well at the box office, which is the role of Chen mubai''s appeal.
Not without a chance.
Lu Fang thought flashed by and asked, "have you finished the script for this movie?"
"It''s done. It''s called Titanic. It''s a story based on real history."
Chen mubai said: "I''ve found Yaoyao to play the female lead, I''ll play the male lead myself, and I''ll slowly choose the rest of the roles. The background is in the west, and the supporting roles are mainly western actors, less in the East."
Lu Fang instantly understood what Chen mubai meant.
What he means is not limited to Chinese stars, but Asian stars. As long as he has a certain popularity, playing in this film can increase the topic of the film in the country. This is to follow the practice of Hollywood movies, adding regional star supporting roles in the film, and then the star will also make a lot of publicity for the film in his country.
"This film is destined to impact the awards. It can let out the wind and let some actors compete for roles. There will be places both at home and abroad. You can watch and give the domestic roles. It can be used as a resource exchange. It can also be used as a gimmick to promote the later stage of the film, so as to further improve the popularity of the film and increase the box office when it is released."
Chen mubai is not afraid that this matter will be leaked out. Anyway, his new film is aimed at awards, which will surely attract some people''s attention.
He didn''t say that he wanted the Oscars to be stigmatized. No one would think about that.
Even if someone really connects things, the credibility of the public will not be high. After all, it is too difficult to win the top awards of the three film festivals, and no one has done so far.
Even if people with conspiracy theories say what Chen Mu Bai thinks, it''s too shocking for anyone to believe. On the contrary, this kind of rhythm can provide heat for Chen Mu Bai.
Moreover, although it''s a bit arrogant to use this slogan in the publicity, and I haven''t seen any film with such a big tone before shooting, Chen mubai is confident that he can impact the awards, and that''s what he thought, and he''s not afraid to say it.
He is confident that the quality of the film is absolutely up to standard. It''s hard to say whether he can get it or not, but it''s not a big problem to be shortlisted in the main competition unit.
Whether it''s the scale of production or the core of the story, it''s definitely not comparable to ordinary works. If it can''t be shortlisted in the main competition unit, it can only be said that the rest of the films are too bad, not that his films are too bad.
This possibility is almost zero.
As long as the film is shortlisted for the film festival, no matter whether it can win the prize or not, at least it is a proof that the film is excellent, and it will not be regarded as a black spot at that time.
On the contrary, if it is really shortlisted, then Chen mubai, who has made bold remarks since the film project was approved, will be more attractive.
Before the film was shot, he threatened to impact the awards, and after the film came out, he was also shortlisted in the main competition unit, which shows how strong Chen mubai''s strength and talent are!
Once the film can win the prize, Chen mubai''s identity as a prophet will cause more turbulence!
Apart from him, no one dares to say that his film will definitely win the prize, and that he can do it even if he says it. That''s really going to set off a heated discussion.
The difference between self-confidence and conceit is that what is said can be done, but conceit cannot.
The former is enviable and admirable, while the latter is obnoxious. One is the display of personality charm, the other is obnoxious personality.
This film selects actors by means of resource exchange. In addition to the requirements of acting skills, the roles that can come will not be new, and will have a certain popularity. The topic and popularity of the film will not be less.
Although Chen mubai''s works don''t need other people''s investment, actors, and he doesn''t need to play in other people''s works, mubai''s entertainment needs it!
After all, there are many stars in the company. In this way, we can give resources to these people and let them participate in the works of other companies in the future. This completes the exchange.
"I need to be busy with iron man. The preparatory work for this film is up to you. Please be careful. I''ll tell you what I need to pay attention to."
For example, the one-to-one ship must keep an eye on it. It must be built according to its prosperous appearance. It can''t be distracted. Chen mubai doesn''t have time to take care of the whole process, so he has to leave it to Lu Fang.
"OK, now that you''ve thought about it, you can do it. If you have anything I need to do, just tell me." Lu Fangdao.
"That''s the first thing. What about the second thing?"
Then there was a knock on the door.
"Dudududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududu."
Lu Fang said curiously, "who is that?"
He''s a little strange when people come at this time.
Chen mubai said, "I called Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan."
"Get them? Is the second thing about them? " Lu Fang was surprised.
"That''s right."
After chenmu didn''t answer, he yelled out: "come in."
After two people come in, say hello to wait for Chen mubai to order.
They didn''t know what it was about for Chen mubai to ask them to come together, but until they were sure there was something to tell them.
"How''s your movie going?" Chen mubai asked with a smile.
Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan are in charge of a series of films, "death is coming" and "electric saw".
It''s almost a year since the first fire and the second one began to be made. I think it''s almost done.
Ji Yuxuan first said: "mine is in the late stage of production, waiting for the new year''s show."
New year''s Eve is from December to march of the next year, which is the end of a year and the beginning of the next year. It mainly caters to the Chinese Spring Festival.
There is a certain overlap time with the Spring Festival, but the theme of the Spring Festival is new year''s day, and the new year''s Day is longer, such as new year''s day.
Although it is not as good as the Spring Festival, it is also one of the only major schedules in a year.
Chen Yunteng interface: "my film has been basically completed, waiting for the national day release."
Both of them choose a better time to show. Although there is a big competition, the box office will be correspondingly higher.
In particular, their first work has a good reputation and box office. The second one has the reputation and quality assurance of their previous work. Generally, the performance of this kind of sequel is not bad.
Naturally, if they want a higher box office, they will choose a better schedule.
Other works of the same type, no matter how capricious they are, after all, the types of films are less popular than mainstream comedies and action themes. It''s really hard to compete with them.
The works that can be shown on a good schedule are the works of well-known actors or the works of large investment, so there is too much pressure.
In any case, Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan have their first work as the foundation, and they have psychological advantages, so they are not afraid of competition.
At that time, "electric saw" was released first, and Ji Yuxuan immediately prepared the second film after shooting, so the completion speed was naturally faster.
"Chainsaw 2" will be broadcast on national day.
Death is coming 2 will be on New Year''s Eve.
"New Year''s day, which month do you want to be in?" Lu Fang asked.
Chen Yunteng scratched his head and said, "I will finish the later stage as soon as possible. I hope it will be the best in mid and late December. After all, Christmas Eve, Christmas day and new year''s day are all together. These festivals are all box office days."
"That''s right. If you can catch up with the best, if you can''t catch up with the best, you''ll get the reputation of the first movie. The data of the second movie won''t be bad. It''s based on the quality. You can''t ignore the quality for the sake of speed, but it''s inferior." Lu Fang opens his mouth.
"Well." Chen Yunteng nodded.
With the film they are responsible for, they both look at Chen mubai.
"To call you two here today is another matter for you."
"What''s the matter?" They were surprised.
"As you know, the company''s current plan is to transform science fiction films slowly. Once iron man is successful, it will produce several films a year, so I have science fiction works for you."
"Really?" Both of them breathed heavily. They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other''s eyes.
It''s a real blockbuster to be able to shoot science fiction!
Who doesn''t want to make this kind of blockbuster?
This is the expectation of any director, but not everyone has this qualification. Most of the people who can shoot this kind of investment works are well-known directors in the industry, which can be counted in China!
All, hear Chen mubai these words, let two people feel like buying lottery won the big prize!
"But aren''t we in charge of the series?"
Happy after, is the reality, they have their own shoulders need to be responsible for the work.
If you add science fiction movies, you don''t have enough energy!
In particular, the production cycle of this kind of blockbuster is relatively long, and the time is more difficult to reconcile.
Chen mubai said gently: "you don''t have to worry about this." death is coming "and" electric saw "are not special time-consuming works, and the shooting cycle is not long."
"There will be a lot of preparatory work in the early stage of the film that will be given to you. You can take your time, and the film will be given to both of you, so there will be more time."
In other words, the new science fiction film is directed by Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan!
However, although both of them have made their own films, they are not responsible for big investment works. It makes sense for them to shoot a science fiction film with huge investment.
At least two people can discuss with each other after shooting, so they can be more cautious.
They don''t think that Chen Mu Bai looks down on them. After all, with such a large investment, they would not have given this opportunity to them in exchange for others!
So, there are only gratitude and surprise in their hearts.
"Superhero series, too?" Chen Yunteng asked.
Chen mubai said at the press conference of iron man that it would create a superhero universe. At that time, some people speculated that there must be more than one superhero. Otherwise, how could it be a universe.
Now it seems that it is.
If Chen mubai wants them to shoot, he can only shoot other heroes.
Lu Fang is also curious. He doesn''t know Chen mubai''s plan.
Chen Mu Bai shook his head and said: "it''s not the time yet. In the early stage of the superhero series, I need to have a good reputation and influence. I''m responsible for it myself. I''m more relieved. I need to take pictures of the feeling in my heart."
"When the influence of the work expands, you can join in."
It''s not surprising that Chen mubai is cautious. If he doesn''t lay a good foundation at the beginning, it will be very difficult to save later, which is not conducive to the development of the superhero universe.
If "Iron Man" is successful, and then Chen mubai takes charge of the other hero films to the two, and the result is that the response is not good, then in the public''s impression, this is not a successful hero film series, and it will also bury the bitter fruit for future films, and we will question the quality of other hero films.
Ji Yuxuan and Chen Yunteng are not lengtouqing either. Knowing Chen mubai''s worries, they will not say they are unhappy.
"Then we..."
"It''s a monster science fiction movie."
"Monster, is it similar to monster?"
"Yes."
"It''s just that the background is in the universe, not the earth. In the process of exploring the universe, we met native creatures on other planets, and the story started. This monster is called alien."
"This is also a series of works. If you can do well, there will be a sequel. I''ve brought all the images of monsters. You can have a look at them," Chen said
With that, Chen mubai took out a picture book, which was painted with an alien image.
"Hiss!"
"This monster looks a little scary."
"It''s really called heteromorphism. It''s really different."
Lu Fang three people see the shape of the alien, some were surprised.
At least there is no such image of the monster, that is to say, this monster is Chen mubai''s own design, and wrote a script for it!
"What about the script?" Lu Fang asked.
Chen mubai replied: "the first one has been written. I''ll send it to your email at that time. There are relevant information about the abnormity in it. You can see it."
"We need to make models ahead of time, and then CG animation starts slowly ahead of time. You two are responsible for rotating and staring at each other. It will save a lot of time when shooting."
"OK, we will try our best to be the best!" Chen Yunteng said excitedly.
He knew that a monster sci-fi film which had never been known by people would definitely cause discussion as long as it was shot well!
Apart from the quality of the film, this kind of trendy monster will attract attention. After all, it''s not easy to design a brand new monster.
Moreover, the image of alien is really handsome. They are amazed at the first sight. If they make a movie again and see this kind of monster in the movie, they will know its characteristics and action, which will only make people more amazing.
After all, the drawing is dead, but the movie is living, giving people a very different visual effect.
It''s just like monster. It doesn''t feel much to see the pictures, but it''s really shocking to see its destructive power in the movie. That''s the difference.
"There have been a lot of moves recently." Lu Fang sighed.
Chen mubai has finished two films this year, one is biochemical crisis and the other is iron man.
Both films are related to special effects, and the investment is not small, so we can see his ambition.
Then, he has to make Titanic, which is still a big investment work, and has to impact the awards. From the connotation of the work, the film must be very high, so the shooting difficulty will not be low.
Now he has to shoot a new sci-fi movie. Although he is not in charge of it, it is still mubai entertainment shooting. Shooting several big investment works at one time means that mubai entertainment has enough cash flow to withstand.
If you change to another company, I''m afraid you won''t be able to do it.
However, according to this level of investment, once the film losses, the impact of mubai entertainment is quite big.
It''s not a trivial matter to make several large investment films at the same time. Once more than one film loses money, it''s not a rational act.
Normally speaking, we have to see how iron man reacts before making a decision. Chen mubai''s action is a little too fast.
But on the other hand, it''s also his confidence.
He is confident that the box office of these works will not be bad, so he will do it.
