The release date of "Dulala Promotion" is April 8th, Thursday of the second week of April. Now it is less than half a month away. At this time, the box office of "My Beauty Boss" has basically been finalized, with a first week of 10.5 million, the next week of 6.4 million, and the third week of 3.1 million, and the cumulative total of exactly 20 million. This is the fourth week, the screening has dropped sharply and the attendance rate is low. It is estimated that the weekly box office will not exceed one million at most. Affected by word of mouth, this movie is hopeless to hit 25 million, which confirms a new low in the distribution of Shuimu Forest. However, with the film's level and cost, the box office of more than 20 million can be burned. Not to mention Shuimu Forest, which is purely a waste of money, even if the starlight is ready for losses, it can make a small profit this time, and this deal with Shuimu Forest is comfortable.

At this time, it was when Tim Burton's partner John Needep's "Alice in Wonderland" was a big hit in the international and domestic markets. Its strong box office appeal is likely to continue until April, which will have a certain impact on domestic films such as "Dula", "Ip Man 2", "East Wind Rain", etc., but He Mu still has some confidence. With the promotional strategy launched by Shuimu Forest on "Dula Lara" during this period and He Mu's occasional support for the film, the "Dula Lara" movie version has already had a high reputation among the movie enthusiasts, becoming the second most anticipated film in April. The first is the sequel to "Ip Man", and the movie is also in full swing.

When the screening of "Dulala" was approaching, not long ago, the betting agreement between Taoxinxu Shifan and He Mu was revealed by one side. He once said on Weibo that if the box office of "Beautiful Boss" + "Dulala" exceeds 100 million yuan, he will have ten consecutive games in a Wanda Cinema in Beijing to invite friends to watch. On the contrary, if He Mu cannot reach the level, he will publicly apologize to him on Weibo, follow his Weibo account, and become his fans.

He Mu was too lazy to pay attention to him, but many netizens were waiting to see his jokes or wanted to see He Mu's jokes, so they actively promoted this matter and repeatedly mentioned it. Shi Fan was also happy to let everyone pay attention to him through this matter. He had no objection. The final box office of "Beautiful Boss" may be fixed at 21 million, so as long as the box office of "Du Lala" is above 79 million, even if He Mu wins and he loses.

Is the box office of less than 80 million yuan difficult for "Du Lala"? I'm afraid it's not difficult. He Mu just got internal news and "No Man's Land" resented the votes again. After the rectification and deletion, he still did not get the release certificate from the General Administration. He still did not meet with everyone in April. Even if there is a giant China Film behind him, it doesn't work. He sighed for the benefits of "No Man's Land" and Ning Hao, He Mu is also glad that "Du Lala" has reduced a major rival out of thin air.

While looking forward to the box office achievements of "Dulala", the preliminary preparations for the "Zi Buyu" project are also in full swing. The text version of the script has been completed and all work can be found. Zhang Yueyue began to design scenes and props for the crew. One of the major features of "Zi Buyu" is that it displays many gadgets. Yueyue's wife Zhang Yueyue has already started to personally create fashionable clothes for "Zi Buyu" on behalf of Ailinyue. In addition, Guo Sichen was invited by He Mu to make a soundtrack for the film, and it was required to be played with Chinese-style instruments. Of course, although Sichen is known as a talented woman, He Mu did not dare to hand over such a big thing to her. The soundtrack is very important to "Zi Buyu", just like Hayao Miyazaki cannot be without Hayao. If Hayao Miyazaki's animation works do not have the music of Hayao Miyazaki, it would definitely lose its color. Fortunately, the two masters met each other.

He Mu was handed over several soundtracks of "Zi Buyu" to a teacher and professor in the Department of Classical Music of the Central Conservatory of Music to help him produce. He only chose one of them for Guo Sichen to complete. This was a test for her. In addition, the theme song of the movie Li Wenhua is helping him find a way to only be responsible for the lyrics. He Mu planned to ask a Japanese musician to produce the song, and the singing was handed over to Alan, who has a certain reputation in Japan. She has agreed that Japanese and Chinese are all sung by her.

At the same time, the choice of shooting venue and roles is a headache for the director He Mu, and he must make a decision as soon as possible. Now the crew has started to help him find a quaint town all over the world, and will send him photos or videos to him. If he feels satisfied, he will go to the on-site inspection in person. If the requirements are met, set the scene immediately and arrange the several main scenes used in the play.

As for actors, He Mu has thought of two ways to choose. One is a pure newcomer lineup. Except for him, he will choose newcomers alone. If the box office is successful, it will be his credit. The problem is that whether such a movie can succeed has great uncertainty and is a bit unreliable. The second is an all-star lineup. He Mu is quite popular in the entertainment industry, and basically all those who have worked with him can become friends. He dare not compare with "The Founding of the Country", but more than a dozen or twenty celebrity friends can still be invited. At that time, everyone will play a small role in this film, and He Mu will not be stingy about the pay. He has been ready to spend at least 30 million to complete the movie, which will be the largest film expenditure in Shuimu Forest.

In the end, for box office considerations, He Mu decided to use some stars, and of course he would not have an All-Star lineup. That would be too rich. It can only be said that the right role matches the right stars, and cannot be matched abruptly.

In the first script of "Zi Buyu", they focused on the people and demons that Xiaoyu came into contact with after coming to the town, and the things and feelings that she encountered. Xiaoyu is played by Xiao Shuidian, and "Brother Shen" is played by Qiu He Mu himself. Xiaoyu's three classmates: Lin Qin, Gangzi, and Zhao Bin all have very important scenes. If you accidentally make a children's film, the selection of these young actors is the top priority. After all, not everyone has Xiao Xiang's acting talent. If you have a suitable child star of the age, of course it is best. If you don't have it, you can only find and discover it yourself.

Xiaoyu's family has few scenes, but it is very important. It runs through three parts. Her mother Lin Yan is a home of calligraphy and painting identification and restoration. She is intellectual and beautiful. He Mu is interested in Yu Feihong, who has met several times. Xiaoyu's father is Mo Zongshi, and he is an archaeologist. Somehow, what pops up in He Mu's mind is Liang Jiahui wearing glasses. She seems to be a little old, but her acting skills are impeccable. I just don't know if the big actor is willing to condescend to play this role with few scenes.

Xiaoyu's great-grandfather is a genius and is deeply loved by monsters. He Mu thought of Mr. Wuma at the first time. Although this character died as soon as he appeared, every part of the trilogy will appear, and every time he appears, he is very surprised. This kind of character who is like a Taoist who is like a Taoist priest is really the same as a person!
