Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

This time the new film conference, the scene is star-studded, and countless reporters are looking forward to it, from all over the world.

In the past, at Chen Mubai's press conferences in Huaxia, there were only Chinese media reporters, but his current identity and influence are no longer what he used to be.

It didn't take long to win the Palme d'Or, and the production of "Iron Man" became a global hit. This movie has been confirmed to enter the box office rankings of global movies!

Many people predict that they will break into the top 20, and they are currently at 57!

This time, "Titanic" is full of gimmicks. First of all, what Chen Mubai said before is that this movie will hit the Berlin Film Festival!

Secondly, the investment budget of this film is also exposed, and the production cost is not inferior to "Iron Man"!

A literary film that wanted to hit the awards, but its production cost was comparable to a commercial special effects blockbuster, shocked the media all over the world!

Everyone thought it was a joke, but a reporter interviewed Mubai Entertainment. With their approval, that is to say, Chen Mubai will make an unprecedented literary blockbuster.

No matter why Chen Mubai spends so much money to make a literary film, everyone only knows that this is a news hotspot. They want to interview Chen Mubai at the press conference and ask him about the film.

There are also many media platforms with relatively large influence on the scene, such as WeChat, Book, Rotten Tomatoes...

Chen Mubai was originally a top star in the world, with a huge appeal, and after "Iron Man" exploded, his popularity became even more explosive, even ranking first in the popularity of global searchers!

This kind of enthusiasm is a height that Chinese stars have never reached before!

Let alone Huaxia, well-known figures in the whole of Asia have also not reached this height in the world, not limited to the entertainment industry, including sports, scientific research... and other fields.

 …

"I want to ask..."

After Chen Mubai answered a few questions first, the Huaxia reporters asked other actors.

They already know the background of this movie, it is abroad, so most of the actors are foreigners, and it is the first time for these well-known actors to hold a film conference in China, and the Chinese reporters will naturally rush to interview, which will be very good The focus of the news, after all, these stars usually don't come to China to participate in the film conference.

In the past, Chinese stars followed foreign film crews. Even if they were only a small supporting role, they might want to gain some popularity, but this time Chen Mubai has reversed the situation. Everyone still has a lot of reasons for these stars to participate in this movie. curious.

The reporters were not worried about offending Chen Mubai, after all, they had been instructed by Mubai Entertainment before, they could interview others first, and then interview them last.

Therefore, after asking Chen Mubai a few symbolic questions, the reporter turned his attention to the rest of the stars. Some of these people are international second-tier stars, and the person playing Chen Mubai's opposite is a first-tier star!

The lineup of "Titanic" is very strong, far surpassing that of "Iron Man". After all, in any movie, the biggest celebrities are Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao. Even the villain Jason is just a not-so-famous star.

This movie is also in the works of Chen Mubai,

The first work with a strong production lineup, including international first- and second-tier stars, it is not unsightly!

Seeing the lineup at the scene, everyone also understands why the production cost of this movie is so expensive. The actor's salary alone is not cheap......

These actors were selected by Chen Mubai himself, and then let Lu Fang get in touch with them, so the salary is naturally not cheap.

In order to win awards, Chen Mubai is willing to spend the money to do better, instead of saving money on the actors' remuneration, which may reduce the quality of the work, and these people's acting skills are naturally not needed.

The better the acting, the better the quality of the movie.

When it was about to end, the reporters in the audience were still in high spirits. They had already obtained a lot of news materials, and they could definitely guarantee the popularity.

Chen Mubai began to name foreign reporters and asked them to ask questions.

A blonde female reporter stood up and looked at Chen Mubai and asked, "I heard that this movie is a romance movie, inspired by a real story, is that true?"

"That's right." Chen Mubai nodded.

"Wow!" There was a surprised voice at the scene.

Regarding the background of "Titanic", there have always been rumors that come from real events, and the time is right, but this matter has not been recognized by Mubai Entertainment, and everyone does not know whether it is true or not.

Now, Chen Mubai has concluded the rumor, it is indeed true.

"What was the original intention of this film?" The reporter asked again.

Chen Mubai looked serious this time, looked at everyone with clear eyes, and said slowly:

"What was our definition of love in the past?"

Chen Mubai didn't answer directly, but asked a question instead.

Everyone at the scene was thinking, and everyone quietly waited for Chen Mubai's answer.

"Everyone has a different view on love, but I believe that everyone has fantasies about love, that is romance and freedom..."

Listening to Chen Mubai's words, many people nodded secretly, no matter what their attitude towards love is now, but the fantasy about love in the beginning was indeed like this.

Many people are caught in the memory, thinking of the youthful and beautiful love in school, even the secret love that ended without a disease, it seems so beautiful, this is the throbbing that will not be there after many loves later.

"This movie is about a romantic, free love story."

Chen Mubai continued: "Modern society emphasizes that love is not everything. Love has a material basis. It cannot be said that this is wrong. This is also the pressure that modern society puts on people, which leads everyone to become more and more materialistic and standardized about love. , but love is not a thing that can be concreted, it is abstract, and it is also the kind of thing that has no formula, it is a sudden and blind emotion!"

"This movie is about the love story in my heart, and the background is set in the 20th century, because the social environment at that time was strict, and it paid more attention to being well-matched, and free love can break through all shackles and cages, allowing people to be happy , even if it may be blocked by all means, so what?"

"I don't care about forever, I only care about what I once had. This is my belief in love. When a person is tempted, I believe that he will give his whole body and mind, and give everything to the other party without reservation. This is sincerity. Beautiful love is also the love I yearn for."

"This movie is my gift to Yaoyao, it's our love."

At the end, Chen Mubai's gaze turned to Tao Yaoyao, facing her affectionately, confessing to her indirectly in front of everyone.

"Wow!"

"Enviable love!"

"So romantic!"

The rest of the crew looked at Chen Mubai in surprise, but soon smiled and applauded the two of them. They didn't expect to eat a mouthful of dog food at the press conference.

Foreigners have a more free and unrestrained definition of love, so Chen Mubai's words completely moved them, and they sincerely wished Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao well.

Tao Yaoyao looked at Chen Mubai with a blushing face, but those big watery eyes were full of mist at the moment, as if she could speak, and anyone could see the affection and emotion hidden in it.

There was a burst of applause and carnival at the scene, and another reporter asked Chen Mubai another question.

 …

The exposure of the press conference of "Titanic" once again attracted the attention of countless people.

"Chen Mubai confessed on the spot, it's so romantic~"

"I also want to have such a handsome boyfriend who is also so talented!"

"Don't think about it, just wash and sleep. Dreams have everything. Who doesn't like a handsome and rich boy? Even if he has no money, I am willing to be with him..."

"I finally found the reason why I like Chen Mubai. He and I are the same kind of people. We have the same attitude towards feelings!!!"

Many boys crazily agreed with Chen Mubai's words. In the hearts of boys, the most beautiful love is actually a beautiful emotion that is not stained by anything and has no utilitarianism.

"It's no wonder that this movie requires such a large investment, not to mention the cast, but in order to produce the best effect, it actually built a big boat. It's amazing!"

"It's more than that. I also dug a big pit and filled it with water in the real place to create the ocean scene. This is too big."

"Indeed, when a movie encounters this kind of situation, it starts with computer special effects, and Chen Mubai comes directly to the real scene. This is really awesome. I'm looking forward to this movie."

After the reason for the huge investment in "Titanic" was exposed, netizens were once again amazed.

This is too awesome...

It’s not that the special effects are bad, if you can’t make this kind of scene, or the background will look fake, judging from the level of special effects in “Iron Man”, it’s definitely not difficult to use computer special effects to synthesize the background of a big ship.

The reason why Chen Mubai did this was because he wanted to be the most exquisite, and to make all the details the best, which shows his intentions.

In any case, real scenes are definitely better than effects. Whether it's actors or real backgrounds and details, the effects of real scenes are bound to be more real and better.

Everyone is still looking forward to Chen Mubai's movie. After all, no one has seen such a big investment in a love movie. No matter in terms of popularity or topic, "Titanic" has earned enough attention!

"Mu Bai, are you ready to join the group?" Lu Fang asked.

"En." Chen Mubai nodded: "This film needs to be produced quickly, the production team is already ready, and one day's delay will be a waste of time."

"Don't worry, I'm here." Lu Fang promised with a smile.

""Alien" is already being filmed, and Duoduo is also preparing for "Huaxia Captain". I just want you to take a look at you today. Which director we choose to cooperate with. The directors we have contacted so far are..."

While talking, Lu Fang took out a list with detailed information on the directors, including the film and television works they shot and their achievements.

Chen Mubai glanced at the list, then shook his head: "These few people are not good at it, they mainly shoot military movies, they may not be good at making commercial movies, and the main scene of superheroes is not war scenes, but lies in Personally, their enemies will not be ordinary people, when these directors are filming, they will subconsciously focus on big scenes, the plot is to serve the protagonist, not the protagonist to serve the plot.”

Lu Fang had no choice but to take back the list: "Then look again, time is not urgent, take your time."

"I will try my best to get in touch with major directors of commercial films to see if I can convince them to cooperate."

"The script has been reviewed and approved, and the higher-ups told me that if there is any problem, please tell me, and they will try their best to help us complete it. For example, where the military is used in the movie, just say hello, and everyone will support the filming of this work. "

After "Huaxia Captain" changed the background, the protagonist seems to have inherited various excellent qualities of Chinese soldiers. This kind of movie is conducive to the export of military culture.

Not to mention the request from above, even the Shan military knows this situation and is willing to rush to cooperate!

It's so hard to find something like this...

"This time, "Iron Man" succeeded, and we can be regarded as contributing to China's film and television industry and foreign cultural communication." Lu Fang said with emotion.

"I didn't expect that before we knew it, we had come to this point..."

Chen Mubai looked at Lu Fang's emotional expression, and laughed loudly: "Brother Lu, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. Why are you so emotional now? It's not too late to shoot the work first!"

Lu Fang was speechless: "I just sigh with emotion..."

"By the way, Bruce Lee has something to do with you. You can contact him when you are free."

Chen Mubai said in surprise: "I'm going to America soon, why is he looking for me at this time?"

"I don't know." Lu Fang shook his head.

The filming location of "Titanic" is in the United States. After all, there is a branch of Mubai Entertainment, so Bruce Lee is in charge of all matters. It's just that Chen Mubai has been in charge of this matter in place of Lu Fang in the later stage of "Iron Man". .

The filming location and the company are no longer in the same city. Even if Chen Mubai goes to the United States, he will not go to see Bruce Lee. He will go directly to the crew to start work. The crew is already waiting to start filming.

Chen Mubai quickly contacted Bruce Lee, and then learned about the idea of ​​AMC and other established giants wanting to seek cooperation.

It wasn't that Bruce Lee was interceding for them, but that he really needed to find a partner. He analyzed several powerful companies that were interested in cooperating with Chen Mubai, and Chen Mubai made the decision in the end.

"Choose Solomon." Chen Mubai thought for a while and gave the answer.

"Huh?" Bruce Lee was a little surprised: "I think this is the worst choice..."

"Although several companies such as AMC have problems with us, if we reach a cooperation, they are willing to solve this matter for us. The most important thing is that the "Monster" series of Solomon Pictures is very successful. They drain traffic, and they have the "Monster" and superhero series in hand, I'm afraid their influence will be even greater, which will be detrimental to us in the future..."

Bruce Lee felt that working with Solomon was the worst possible outcome, and he gave his thoughts.

Chen Mubai admits that he is partly right.

"You're right, the harms of working with Solomon do outweigh the benefits. Having two blockbuster IPs will indeed bring them a lot of heat, but I think they will be a good partner. Their attitude towards us Neutral. I can’t trust the people at AMC, not to mention the previous conflicts, even if they are allies, I’m afraid they’ll stab them in the back.”

Chen Mubai also gave his reasons for choosing Solomon:

"Although we attract traffic for them, their "Monster" series will also attract traffic for us, and our movie universe plan is far larger than theirs. The "Monster" series will soon make people aesthetically tired, and we have With a few different heroes, and the Avengers, I think audiences will gravitate toward us."

"Okay, I'll go talk to the other party." Bruce Lee could only agree.

Since Chen Mubai is confident that he can remain invincible in the process of cooperation, he chooses to believe it.

If he had just met Chen Mubai, Bruce Lee would not have this trust, but he has seen too many seemingly difficult things to succeed by Chen Mubai's side, and they all succeeded in the end.

This is an important reason why Chen Mubai was able to rise in the short term, because the greater the risk, the greater the return, but he prefers to gamble and take risks, and he always has the last laugh.

The reason is that Chen Mubai is confident enough, this is his personality charm, Bruce Lee was deeply touched during the time he worked with Chen Mubai.

Working under such a person is always full of excitement and freshness, which makes Bruce Lee feel the momentum of youth. He likes this feeling, every day is like a chicken blood!

 …

"What!?" Caitlin was very surprised.

"Mubai Entertainment chose to cooperate with Solomon?"

"Don't they have any concerns?"

Trillis didn't understand either, but he got a definite answer: "I don't know how they choose their partners..."

"This is a strong alliance, and it has an impact on us." Caitlin said with a sigh.

She thought that Mubai Entertainment would not cooperate with AMC, but she really didn't expect to cooperate with Solomon.

As veteran giants, everyone has some ace works in their hands, but the emphasis is different.

For example, Solomon focuses on the "Monster" series, and AMC focuses on science fiction works. Although there are no series of works, the box office of each one is not low, and the public still prefers it.

MGM's focus is on criminal action movies. There was a series of movies before, and the box office has always been good. "Speed ​​Car" is actually a rumor of that movie, so it found a first-line star to star.

In fact, the audience is quite looking forward to this movie, after all, with the blessings of stars + front seats, otherwise the investment of the movie would not be as high as more than 100 million US dollars!

Although everyone has a blockbuster series, Solomon Pictures is still popular in recent years. The "Monster" series is popular all over the world. The global box office of "Monster 3" is as high as 1.3 billion US dollars, ranking eighth in the global movie box office list!

The box office results of the first two "Monsters" are equally good, but it is precisely because of the blessings of the first two that the box office of the third film is so high. Three quotas were awarded, which shows how big its influence is!

"Monster 4" is in production. Thanks to the double harvest of box office and word of mouth, the box office forecast of this film is still very optimistic. Many media believe that it is no problem to break 1 billion US dollars.

Solomon is currently in a period of great influence, and its series of works are very popular, so Mubai Entertainment will take a big risk in choosing them to cooperate, and it is very likely that they will attract traffic for the "Monster" series, thus losing many fans .

Caitlin thought that Solomon was the least likely capital to be selected by Mubai Entertainment, but she didn't expect it to be it...

At least, cooperating with other capital can play the same role, but it avoids the risk of losing fans.

For example, in cooperation with MGM, the genres of the two companies are completely different, so there is no circulation among fans. Those who like to watch action movies and sci-fi movies are not fans.

Of course, it’s the same for the vast majority of movie fans, mainly talking about the audience group of fans. After all, the role of IP is to incubate fans. Only fans will always pay for the series because they really like it.

"Would Chen Mubai have led the wolf into the house, maybe their choice this time will teach them a lesson?" Cuilis hoped that something would happen to Mubai Entertainment at this time, and new and old hatreds would be mixed together.

"There is no shortage of possibilities."

Caitlin nodded and said, "Although "Iron Man" proves that Mubai Entertainment's special effects are not bad, this is the most indispensable thing in Hollywood, and "Iron Man" is popular because of the concept of a superhero on the one hand, and on the other. On the one hand, the protagonist is a pleasing character. Although he seems to have all the shortcomings, the current market audience has seen too many glorious protagonists, and this kind of [selfish] person is even more likable, because It makes the audience feel real."

"Nowadays, audiences are more and more interested in looking for the sense of reality in the characters. This is the reason why the villains in many movies are so popular. The audience will take the villain's perspective to figure out his psychology. It is the same reason to pay attention to love, and some whitewashed villains are popular."

"The market is always changing. The works of Mubai Entertainment have grasped the tastes of the audience very well, so many of the films they shoot will consider the audience's preferences, and the results are good. We must also consider the audience. We can't just serve the plot. As far as commercial films are concerned, its value is to gain the recognition and love of the audience, and only in this way can it get a high box office."

"The success of "Iron Man" does not mean that other heroes can copy it. If there is another [Donnie], I am afraid that the audience will not pay the bill. It is still not easy to create a new hero for the audience to like. What's more, Mubai Entertainment has several superheroes at one time, so once the new hero cannot be liked by the audience, many audiences will be lost, and this part of the audience is very likely to flow to Solomon."

"After all, the two parties are cooperating works, and the "Monster" series is popular, and it is not a genre of work. Everyone also likes to watch monsters fight. This is an element that science fiction movies like "Iron Man" do not have. , At that time, Mubai Entertainment will be in a disguised form to drain Solomon and make a wedding dress for Solomon."

"Compared to Solomon, Mubai Entertainment's background is too poor, and they are too hasty. I believe that Solomon will definitely win Mubai Entertainment in terms of operations."

Caitlin smiled: "Otherwise, it would be good to choose either of us. We don't have a strong work to compete with him for audiences and traffic. Chen Mubai actually chose Solomon, who is currently the most popular. It's really exciting."

Trillis also laughed loudly: "Yes, Chen Mubai is just too conceited!"

"He succeeded this time, but it doesn't mean he will be successful every time. Let's not talk about whether Solomon, who cooperated with him, will affect him. It is not certain whether the movie "Titanic" will win an award. Seeing him prove himself, this is the first time I've seen a love movie with such a big investment, it's just asking for death!"

They didn't know Chen Mubai's real thoughts, so naturally they didn't understand his behavior.

However, even if they knew what Chen Mubai was thinking, they might think him a lunatic!

Again, the risk is too great, but it is undeniable that the benefits are also high.

Soon, the news of the cooperation between Solomon and Mubai Entertainment spread, shocking audiences all over the world!
