Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

"We are still short of the last Golden Bear Award. If "Titanic" succeeds, we will make history!"

Tao Yaoyao was full of yearning, and said excitedly: "This is really too difficult, if you can do it, you can leave your name in history!"

In the history of film, there has never been a person who can win the three best films in Europe at the same time. Chen Mubai is the well-deserved first person who has done it, and will naturally be written into the history of film.

Chen Mubai is only one step away from this grand slam!

"Let's take it step by step. The movie hasn't been filmed yet, so it's not good to think too much." Chen Mubai was very calm.

Although he was talking about hitting the Berlin Film Festival awards, it's hard to say whether he can win the best film or not. It's still safe to win other awards. Otherwise, it would be a waste of his long preparation time, and it's still a huge investment.

The best film has nothing to do with the film's investment, but awards such as best costume and special effects are still linked to investment. In any case, Chen Mubai is bound to win these awards.

"It's true, if you pay too much attention to the result, it will interfere with your original thoughts." Tao Yaoyao agreed.

If you think too much during the filming process, it will not be a good thing, and you will fall into a daze. In order to win an award, you will add many elements, such as political darkness, emotional entanglements of characters...

This will destroy the overall smoothness of the film. Sometimes narration is also an art. Many directors just can't tell a story well, so that the audience will not pay for it.

It's not that they don't know how to speak, but that they want to express too much, and they don't distinguish between primary and secondary, but it becomes disorganized.

A clear story line with the beginning, process, climax, and ending must be clearly understood, at least it must not be incomprehensible, otherwise it will not only not please the audience, but will also not please the critics.

After all, the first element of the judges' selection is to understand the narrative of the movie, otherwise he thinks he can't understand, can he still vote for you?

This is true of any award-winning movie. The story is not complicated, but the metaphors and core behind it are complicated. These are the core competitiveness.

For example, the movie "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is a simple movie. The hero goes through bankruptcy, his wife and children, and lives with his children. Life, this is a happiness.

The narrative content is very simple, the story line is not complicated, there are no mysteries, and the core of the story is not difficult, even if it is healing and warm, it still won the award.

This is because the concept conveyed in it makes people understand,

And it is deeply recognized by everyone, and the judges will naturally vote for this movie.

If you can't understand it, you can't understand the meaning of the story, you don't know what the movie ultimately expresses, and you don't have a point, then you won't vote.

Tao Yaoyao smiled sweetly and said, "No matter what, I think you are the best, and you must do it."

"This time, the Oscars were ashamed and thrown home. They were directly ridiculed by people all over the world. The Cannes Film Festival really gave it a resounding slap."

After Chen Mubai won the Palme d'Or, the public opinion indeed sided with him, and Oscar was insulted by all parties. Although he kept explaining, the effect was not very great.

There is no way, this time is against the wind, if Chen Mubai does not get the award, then the situation will be reversed.

Netizens are also on the fence, and whichever side has the advantage will fall to that side. The Cannes Film Festival has gained a good reputation this time, and many people are saying that they are justifying Chen Mubai's name, which is very fair.

"The matter is not over yet. I saw that many people are saying to wait for your next movie to be released. This incident has already had a great impact on Oscar's reputation. If you still win the award, you will continue to slap Oscar in the face. I'm afraid that At that time, Oscar will really be nailed to the pillar of stigma, and this time the shady scene will become a black spot that will never be erased, and it is also the most historic topic."

Oscar's dark story made an excellent director furious, so he switched to other film festivals to prove himself by winning awards one after another. Doesn't that mean that Oscar is not authoritative and unfair at all?

Once Chen Mubai sets a record in film history, his deeds will be remembered.

Then Oscar, who indirectly caused Chen Mubai to make this move, is naturally an unavoidable topic, and it will be brought up repeatedly for countless years to come, and this matter will never be forgotten.

 …

"The preparations for "Alien" are almost complete, and the crew has already been set up. Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan have spent a lot of energy during this time."

Lu Fang chatted with Chen Mubai, and also talked about the recent situation.

""The Grim Reaper" will be released on the 24th, which happens to be Christmas Eve. Many couples will choose to spend this festival together, so watching movies will be a good way to play, and the biggest audience for horror movies will always be couples This group."

Lu Fang said: "Wait a week later, the trailer of "Iron Man" will be released, and it will take a month to warm up and promote the movie. Several gold medal variety shows have already been booked, and we just wait for your crew to go up."

Generally speaking, this kind of variety show resources are difficult to obtain, because countless stars hope to be able to appear on this kind of show, which has huge popularity, traffic, and influence.

However, Lu Fang can make an appointment one month in advance, which shows how strong Mubai Entertainment's current strength and influence are!

In fact, regardless of all factors, the investment in the movie "Iron Man" alone is a huge hot spot. Any program on the production team is a kind of enthusiasm for this program. Everyone hopes to invite them. mutual.

"Iron Man" cost billions of RMB, which is the largest investment in China's history, and has attracted widespread attention at home and abroad.

In particular, Chen Mubai said that he would create a series of superheroes. This is a work that naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Mubai Entertainment is also doing its best to pave the way for the film, just to increase its influence. Otherwise, according to Chen Mubai's previous works, he did not go on the show before the release. All this is to maximize the benefits and let the film get the most Exposure, make the box office as high as possible.

After all, it is a huge investment. Once the box office is not good, the loss will be extremely terrifying. According to the investment of this movie, even if it gets 3 billion box office, it will still lose money. It will take at least 3.3 billion to recover!

This kind of box office base is too big. Even if the film gets 2 billion or 3 billion box office, it will not help, and it will still lose money. It’s just a matter of losing more and less.

Investors want to make money instead of losing money when they make movies. The larger the investment, the higher the box office to recover the cost, and the greater the risk.

The rest of Huaxia's entertainment companies are observing the market prospects of sci-fi movies.

With Chen Mubai's charisma, if he still loses money making a sci-fi movie, let alone others.

Therefore, Chen Mubai is currently a guide, and everyone's eyes are on this movie. Regardless of whether the movie succeeds or fails, the significance it produces is very important.

If the box office is high, it may spur the development of domestic science fiction works, and the investment in movies will also increase, which will usher in a more prosperous situation for the film and television industry.

But if the box office is poor, nothing has changed, and the world is still a small cost, and other investors dare not make big bets like Chen Mubai.

From an individual point of view, it is a work that is responsible for its own profits and losses, but from the overall situation, this movie has a role in promoting the domestic film and television environment, and this is the reason for the attention.

"Thanks to you, "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" and "Reaper" are very popular, and the trailer of "Iron Man" is staggered from the premiere week, and the box office of "Reaper 2" will definitely be higher than The first one should be higher." Lu Fang laughed.

"In particular, "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is the most popular. The popularity of TV dramas is indeed greater than that of movies, with more viewers and more popularity among audiences."

Many actors are transitioning from TV series to movies. On the one hand, it is because of the difficulty of acting. On the other hand, TV series are more popular. After all, they can be watched without spending money, with more audiences and longer broadcasting time. It is suitable for topical dissemination and allows actors It is more popular and suitable for supporting actors.

After an actor becomes popular, he will have more resources, and then enter the film field, which is also commonly known as transformation.

"The ending of Xianjian pushed this drama to a higher peak. The ratings of Killing the Sword Master and Resurrecting Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru set records. The success of this drama made "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" a favorite. Many TV stations If you want exclusive rights, the price is very high.”

The final ending of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is very popular. The ratings of the three TV stations are not bad, and with the production of the original crew, the ratings will not be bad.

Originally, in the episode where Zhao Linger died, everyone saw the painful Li Xiaoyao and his friends around him almost died, and they were all cursing, thinking it was the work of the abuser.

As a result, Li Xiaoyao had a big fight with the Juggernaut in order to revive Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru, and the dispute between the two sublimated the theme.

Because the previous plot was too intense, the duel between Li Xiaoyao and the Juggernaut was highly anticipated. When Li Xiaoyao defeated the Juggernaut, the coolness reached its peak, and the biggest burst of coolness in the whole drama broke out, making the audience cheer.

For a long time, Li Xiaoyao's strength was not strong, and he was always suppressed and beaten. Finally, at the last moment, he became the strongest person, and even defeated the Juggernaut, indirectly seeking justice for those friends who died .

Many viewers believe that the tragedies in "Legend of Sword and Fairy" are not unrelated to the Juggernaut's indifference, and it is his indulgence that caused these things to happen.

The Juggernaut is not as he said, he doesn't care about everything. In fact, he has indirectly intervened in many things. Everything he does is for his own way, which can be regarded as selfishness.

Li Xiaoyao defeated the Juggernaut, causing the Juggernaut's Dao heart to be shattered, and then he became the "god" of this doomed world. He revived Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru. It was this obsession and practice that led to the growth of evil thoughts.

Because of the relationship between the resurrection of the two, Li Xiaoyao's strength has dropped significantly, and he is no longer able to deal with this man who feeds on the desires of all beings and the emotions of the dark side, so he can only seal him.

Any seal will have the possibility of being broken again, so Li Xiaoyao can only send it back to the past and let his master solve this scourge!

The plot of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" lays the groundwork for this, and it is clearly stated in the plot that the timeline of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is in front of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", and the story of Master Li Xiaoyao is shown!

Because Li Xiaoyao and other characters are very successful, everyone has a strong curiosity about this highly anticipated master, and because the original cast created Shigong Jingtian is also Li Xiaoyao's role-playing, everyone is looking forward to it even more.

Although it is not a sequel, it is still related after all. Everyone wants to know how strong this so-called "evil thought" is. It will make Li Xiaoyao feel helpless, so he can only send him back to the world where gods and gods used to be. Let others solve it.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is already being filmed, and it will be completed in a few months. The leading actors are very excited, because the first drama is a hit, and this drama is also highly anticipated. They have gained a large number of fans. He is a new star in the TV drama field, very famous!

Xianjian made several leading actors popular at one time, which is extremely rare. In the final analysis, it is the success of character creation. Each character has its own characteristics and makes people like it.

The two old drama stars who played the role of the Lord of Worshiping the Moon and the Sword Immortal of Wine became popular again, and their careers were rejuvenated.

The success of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" caused the industry to drop their jaws again. They thought that the leading actors of this show were pure newcomers and they would not be popular at all. However, it turned out to be a big hit. Not only the male and female protagonists became popular, but also the supporting roles. A few, belong to that kind of phenomenal works!

This allows everyone to see the market for Xianxia dramas, and many people are actively buying Xianxia scripts, wanting to shoot this type of work, and seize a wave of popularity!

Even Mubai Entertainment is actively filming the fairy tale drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3". This is a trend, how can other companies let it go.

Lu Fang has great confidence in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" and "Reaper".

Both dramas have the quality and word-of-mouth foundation of the previous work, and have an inherent audience group, so the data will not be bad.

Coupled with the fact that Chen Mubai's hot searches have continued during this period, and the Oscar incident, after he won the Palme d'Or in Cannes, caused a storm all over the world.

The last work "Chain Saw 2" was sanctioned by the capital of the United States, so the overall box office data is slightly inferior to the first one, because the box office in North America is much worse, and the box office in China is much higher than the first one, but the RMB and The exchange rate of the U.S. dollar is relatively different, so the overall box office is still a bit worse.

This time, Chen Mubai has just won the award, and the global popularity is extremely high. Many companies have already discussed the release of this film. This is Chen Mubai's first work after winning the Cannes Palme d'Or, so it naturally attracts people's attention.

"When will "Alien" start?" Chen Mubai asked.

Lu Fang said: "Ji Yuxuan's advanced team, Chen Yunteng will go to the crew to meet after he is busy with the promotion and road show of "Death is Coming". It's settled, this is also the last publicity we do before the release of "Reaper 2"."

The establishment of "Alien" will definitely attract a lot of attention. With this wave of traffic, the film's press conference will be very popular. At that time, "Reaper 2" will be advertised, and the effect will definitely not be bad.

Mubai Entertainment is shooting sci-fi movies on a large scale, which shows that Chen Mubai's ambition and his optimism for this type of movies will definitely arouse heated discussions in the industry. How confident he is, otherwise he would not be in a movie before it is released. Under the circumstances, prepare these works one after another.

Although the box office of "Resident Evil" is very good, the investment of this movie is not that high, and the sci-fi elements and special effects scenes in it are actually not too many.

Moreover, the starring role of this drama is Tao Yaoyao, who is a popular star herself. The success of this movie may not be entirely due to the subject matter and quality of the work, but also has a lot to do with people.

"The models are all ready?" Chen Mubai was a little surprised, the speed is quite fast.

Lu Fang nodded: "It's done."

"Since getting the script, Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan have been very excited. The two of them spent sleepless nights and food to complete the model first. The final rendering is completely based on your drawings. The image is amazing!"

With that said, Lu Fang turned on the computer and showed him the finished rendering of the alien, as well as the finished model.

This model is made in a one-to-one proportion of a real person, and its size is about 1.7 meters. It looks cold and weird, and it looks scary.

When the model was made, the alien appearance surprised the two of them. Lu Fang was also amazed when he saw the finished product. It is indeed a monster with rich imagination, and its own characteristics are very powerful. The completed movie will definitely make people look forward to it.

Audiences like unknown things, and this monster is the unknown. When the trailer is released, Lu Fang believes that it will definitely arouse the response of the blockbuster.

"It's really well done." Chen Mubai admired: "It's not in vain that they put so much thought into it."

"Yeah, they can't wait to start the machine right away. The preparatory work is nearly complete, and they just have to wait for Ji Yuxuan's movie to be released before the official start."

Lu Fang is also quite confident in "Alien". Chen Mubai's script, coupled with science fiction and monster themes, is set to be an unknown creature. Its characteristics and appearance are unique, and it has all the expected elements.

In all fairness, if he saw similar works, he would not be able to resist going into the cinema to see them, after all, human nature is to be curious about unknown things.

"Give me the list of programs I need to be on at that time." Chen Mubai said.

In any case, you must prepare in advance, and you must be clear about the time, otherwise you will be in trouble if you forget it when the time comes.

 …

At the "Alien" press conference, the project approval of this film was very abrupt, which caught everyone off guard.

Just the name, and that gloomy but slightly weird poster, no one knows what kind of movie it is.

But since the script was written by Chen Mubai, it wasn't long before he won the Palme d'Or. Everyone thought it was a new script he created after winning the award, but it attracted a lot of attention.

"So, this is also a science fiction movie?"

At the press conference, the reporters asked questions about Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan.

The two attended together, and confirmed that they were the directors of the play, and jointly produced it.

Now, neither of them are new directors who are not well-known. The "Chain Saw" and "Reaper" they are responsible for are both works with good reputation and box office, and they are also series movies, which makes them famous. Quite a lot.

So, their combination is a bit of a surprise.

"To be precise, this is a sci-fi + monster movie with elements of horror, and it doesn't quite match the pure monster movie." Chen Yunteng answered.

The reporter was stunned: "Is that similar to "Resident Evil"?"

The same monster + sci-fi and thriller elements, it makes sense that the two dramas are similar.

Chen Yunteng nodded and said, "That's right, but the background of this drama is interstellar."

"There are more and more humans on the earth, and the resources are not enough, so the country began to dig out planets and resources suitable for human survival in the universe. Alien is the name of the monster, and it is also the original author of the developed planet, and then a series of stories happened with it. .”

"Aliens."

Ji Yuxuan smiled and explained: "It's not aliens, because the two civilizations are different. Aliens can communicate, and they are essentially one kind of animal with humans, while aliens are another kind, similar to wild beasts. They are smart, quick, powerful, and their blood and saliva are corrosive, and they are very powerful creatures."

"In the movie, they also use the human body to feed their eggs. For humans, it is like a grim reaper, a hunter."

"Such a strong creature, ordinary people are their opponents?"

Ji Yuxuan's speech caused a commotion in the audience.

Someone asked: "Is there a superhuman to deal with them? Is this movie the superhero series that Chen Mubai mentioned earlier?"

Chen Mubai said before that he would shoot a series of superheroes, and he also said that he was facing the unknown civilizations in the universe. It makes sense for a superhero.

"No." The two denied: "This is a separate monster movie. If the response is good, it may become a series of movies. This is the first and the beginning."

"So, I hope everyone can pay more attention to this movie. We will make it very carefully, with a sufficient budget, and we will definitely do our best."

They didn't directly say how many filming plans they have, but they said it depends on the situation. In this case, no matter what the results are, the pressure of public opinion will not be so great. If they talk big before the filming, and the results are not satisfactory by then, then it will be true. will be a joke.

They are not Chen Mubai, they don't have that kind of courage, and they don't have such a strong fan cohesion, this is the phenomenon.

No one dares to be as confident as Chen Mubai, who dares to set ambitious goals and tell others before shooting, because once the results are not good, it will definitely become a slot, making people feel very conceited.

Just because Chen Mubai can do it doesn't mean others can do it too.

Just like the "Titanic" he was going to shoot, he directly announced that he would hit the Berlin Film Festival. No one dared to say such big words!

"After your explanation, I am looking forward to this movie."

"Me too."

Quite a few people showed curious expressions. Currently, Mubai Entertainment is in the limelight, so the reporters will naturally save face and won't export against the wind.

"It is not easy for us to make this movie. It took several months for the preparatory work. Since we got the script, we have been preparing for this movie. It is a very good script. This is our first time. Try big productions, the previous "Reaper" and "Chain Saw" are all small-budget productions, if there are audiences who like our works, please give us some support."

"The style will also be biased towards the style of these two films, but with other elements mixed in, those who like this type of work will definitely give you a surprise!"

Both "Saw" and "Reaper" are very successful horror and bloody movies, so using these two movies for promotion will still attract a group of audiences who like these two movies.

The style of "Alien" itself is indeed close to this style, and it is not false propaganda. The whole film is displayed in a spaceship, which is actually an alternative room horror, which will make the film's horror level rise to a higher level.

Just like you may not be very scared if you know that there are ghosts outside, but when you know that ghosts are around you, but you don't know where they are, this will maximize your fear.

The press conference of "Alien" was very successful. This movie has attracted a lot of attention. After all, it is another work of a different type from Mubai Entertainment, and it will be the time when "Reaper 2" will be released, which indirectly contributed to this movie. publicity.

Also exposed is a model of an alien. This well-made model has attracted many people's discussions. Everyone thinks it fits the name of the movie.

The crew of "Alien" has officially started filming. Ji Yuxuan's advanced team is filming. By the way, let everyone get familiar with the plot and characters. Chen Yunteng will go there when he has time. After all, "Saw 2" has not yet been released, and he needs to prepare for this movie. On the platform, after the movie is released, there are still a few roadshows, which only takes half a month.
