Chapter 562 Blockbuster era

The total investment is expected to exceed 200 million (Photo), the successful experience of "Fast and Furious" (all racing), the hire of the behind-the-scenes lineup (a few foreigners are right), and the Hollywood Chinese director Lin Yibin, who is the "Fast and Furious" series, uses advanced Hollywood shooting technology, and successfully resurrects the Hollywood Chinese director Lin Yibin of the "Fast and Furious" series as the producer (also as domestic production functions), Han Sanping, He Mu's famous producer (necessary), a member of the 100 million club, and the crazy director Ning Hao serves as the chief director. He gathers the powerful mixed-match lineup of Golden Horse actor Huang Bo, Golden Horse actor Qin Hailu, Kung Fu boy Wu Jing, and the fairy beauty Liu Yifei! He Mu specialized in the role, the original cast of "Fast and Furious" has entered randomly (Global has already been completed), and many mysterious big names (not announced now) have officially started filming!

This news has been released, which is shocking. Some people say that it is more suitable to call this movie "big star".

On November 11, on this good-looking day, Shuimu's biggest investment in "Big Card" was launched in an unknown small county town in Gansu. The route of this truck was from the Magic City to Qinghai. Ning Hao will realize his unfinished western film concept in this film ("No Man's Land" has not been released yet), and He Mu also attended the filming scene of the first scene.

The creativity of this movie originated from He Mu. The script was written by a group of young screenwriters in their twenties in Shuimu Forest. Later, it was modified by Ning Hao, Xing Aina and his wife, and the screenwriter of "Fast and Furious", Chris Morgan, which made the script more compact and exciting, achieving a unified style. The final draft was finalized.

Such a massive film has attracted the attention of many media and filmmakers, film lovers, and there are many discussions on the Internet. Reliable directors, reliable actors and reliable teams have made this film receive unexpected praise as soon as it was filmed. Domestic blockbusters usually start with costume blockbusters, and it is unique to directly drive a racing blockbuster like He Mu. It marks that Shuimu Forest, which has always been on the small film route and advocates safety and security, has finally entered the era of blockbusters. It also means that the status of Huayi Brothers and Bona Films and other private entertainment companies will be challenged.

In fact, the investment scale of "Zi Buyu" before "Big Card" was not small. It was originally expected that more than 20 million will be used for production and more than 10 million will be used for promotion. He Mu prepared a budget of 40 million, but the result was that the shooting alone was almost the same as the later and early publicity. The pure production fee was almost 38 million in the end. It is conservatively estimated that the production and promotion will not be less than 55 million, and the potential of video videos will increase in the future. It is a bit of a risky thing for He Mu, who was the director for the first time, to play so much.

However, compared with "Zi Buyu" and "Big Card", Shuimu alone will pay more than 50 million yuan in production costs. Fortunately, I bought two Hollywood blockbusters this year, otherwise He Mu would not be able to bear it. With the global technology and personnel investment, the film investment of more than 100 million yuan is definitely worth investing. If the subsequent promotion is included, it would not be too much to make a big production of 200 million yuan.

Of course, large investment will also bring great returns. Such a modern-themed film with a multinational production is extremely attractive to merchants. So far, the confirmed implanted advertisements have exceeded 20 million, and Shuimu is still very restrained in this regard. It is far inferior to advertising master Feng Xiaogang. The marriage between advertising and movies can greatly reduce the risks of the producers. In addition to implanting advertisements, there will also be revenue from patch advertisements, premiere naming advertisements and other incomes, which will offset some of the promotion and distribution costs. This is a major trend, and Shuimu will not reject them.

He Mu has global ambitions for "Big Card", otherwise he would not have to try his best to bring in the team of Universal and "Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and Fast and F

It is true that the mainland market is the foundation of Chinese-language films. Defeating foreign Hollywood blockbusters in the local market can make He Mu feel more accomplished. However, examples of Korean movies tell He Mu that "defending the territory" is important, but they still have the ambition to "open the border". Korean audiences and filmmakers are very united and very xenophobic. A small number of Korean films can account for the vast majority of box offices. Almost all of the movies with tens of millions of viewers are local movies. Except for one movie "Avatar", Korean movies have no status in the world. They have no awards and no box office, and are often regarded as typical examples of being arrogant. In terms of the contribution of their own cultural output, they are even worse than Korean dramas that have been despised.

Such development is actually a bit distorted. If Chinese-language films want to develop healthily, they can also try to produce more internationally based on local characteristics and culture. "Da Card" is such an experimental work. He Mu doesn't mind making some explorations and attempts based on the basis of guaranteed capital to find a more vigorous carrier for the culture of his country.

Movies are one of the cultural carriers, and so are celebrity artists. Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Zhang Ziyi, as outstanding representatives of Chinese people on the world stage, have attracted a lot of attention for Chinese civilization. Peking University professor Zhang Yiwu said that Zhang Ziyi is more effective than ten thousand Confucius. Perhaps this is disrespectful, or this is exaggerated, but the truth is still a bit, so He Mu also attaches great importance to his own global influence.

Therefore, when Jeff talked with He Mu to discuss the plan of "Cold Heart 2", He Mu agreed and would coordinate his schedule to cooperate with the filming of the movie.

The first part of "Cold Heart" was a big success, and there was no reason not to film the second part. This story has a very stable pattern. One of the male protagonists, Joseph, is in love, the female is a monster, and the other male protagonist, He Mu Mian. It's that simple, add characters under the framework, supplement the plot, change the background, and then make the scene bigger and strengthen some of the highlights of the first part. This is a qualified sequel movie produced by the Hollywood assembly line.

This sequel movie will no longer be directed by Wan Zi-in. This is his personality and does not like to repeat himself. He believes that the shooting of sequel movies is something that the well-behaved directors under the Hollywood film industry system like to do, but he thinks he is not that kind of person. He likes to change and try new stories, and does not even have to be limited to horror movies. So he only made one movie "Saw" and "Cold Heart".

However, he has feelings for "Cold Heart" and will not let go completely, so he will serve as the producer of "Cold Heart 2" and joins his old partner Ray Warner to write the second script, which is not difficult for him. After the script is completed, Jeff will find a suitable director to perform the filming, and He Mu can join the group.

The director has not yet confirmed it, because the script has not been written yet, so the heroine has not been confirmed either. What can be confirmed is that it will definitely not be Scarlett Johnson.

Jeff told He Mu that the film should start filming after the Spring Festival and will definitely not delay him as a director.

Although "Zi Buyu" has not yet been tested by the market, the plan for the second and third consecutive shooting of "Zi Buyu" is already brewing, and director He Mu will take the initiative again and invest huge sums of money. When he was at home, He Mu kept thinking about how to write the script. The framework was already set up before writing the first script. Next is some detailed portrayals and the consideration of side plots. These are often the key to determining the quality of a movie. Only by focusing on the small things can you do big things well.

If you were to doubt whether to film the sequel to "Zi Buyu" at the beginning, then it is imperative now, because He Mu is very confident in the quality of the film, and this confidence is transformed into expectations of the box office of the movie, which is also quite amazing.

At first, He Mu's expectations for the mainland box office of "Zi Buyu" were 100 million. After the film was finished, He Mu's expectations increased to 150 million. Since Xiaoshuidian was said at the East Film Festival and received a lot of praise, He Mu's expectations soared to 200 million, and the director's debut box office exceeded 200 million. Isn't you a little too greedy?

He Mu didn't know, he only knew that he now had a starring film with a box office of over 200 million yuan. The second week of "Cold Heart" was released, and the popularity remained unabated. He ignored the influence of several new films and reached a peak again. After the second week, it had already exceeded the 200 million mark!
