Chapter seven hundred and thirty seventh kill two birds with one stone
"Ah?" Yang Guo was dumbfounded.
"Don't you need famous celebrities?"
Although it is a main theme movie and does not focus on box office, if many well-known movie stars join the cast, it will also provide some help to the movie's box office.
There are some veteran actors and powerful young and middle-aged actors, and the three generations of actors, old, middle-aged and young, gather together. Together with their respective appeals, the movie box office is still greatly improved.
It is not difficult to get a 100 million yuan box office.
Although none of Chen Mubai's current movies have a box office of less than 1 billion, this theme film will definitely break his myth. After all, no one will like to watch this kind of movie. It is already very difficult to get a box office of over 1 billion!
This box office does not rely on the content of the movie, but the influence of the stars.
Very few people go to the cinema purely for the movie content. They are all older people who want to review the development history of the motherland. Young people rarely go to the cinema.
Chen Mubai's move is to abandon the appeal of a star and the box office that star power can bring!
Mubai Entertainment doesn't have many particularly famous stars, but if it chooses outside stars to shoot, the traffic from those people will be terrible, they will have many fans, and the box office will increase a lot.
Therefore, Tao Yaoyao was a little shocked. Is this completely abandoning the box office?
You know, when filming a movie with a main theme, the stars basically don’t need to be paid to make cameos or just get a token salary to go through the motions. This is an excellent opportunity!
The previous works were all star-studded.
If we don't find them this time, I'm afraid the box office will hit rock bottom and people will inevitably laugh at me.
Everyone will not care about the content of the movie, but directly compare it with the box office of previous gift films. Isn’t Chen Mubai very embarrassed by then?
Although it is a gift film that does not require a box office, if the all-star cast is omitted, the box office may be too low and it will still attract public attention.
Especially at this point in time, Chen Mubai has become famous and has unlimited fame.
There will inevitably be people who will seize on this and amplify it, and the media will also use the heat to expand the influence of this matter in order to attract attention, which is very detrimental to Chen Mubai's reputation.
That's how it is sometimes, you can fail countless times and then succeed, and everyone will praise you.
But if you always succeed? But fail once? There will be a lot of negative voices, especially your enemies will seize this point to attack you.
Chen Mubai is now famous, but secretly there are many people who hope that he will fall? Because his existence is too dazzling, which puts great pressure on other stars and capital, and even blocks their interests.
With official protection, others can't do anything to his works and company? Then he can only expect to lose his popularity? Slowly step down from the altar.
When Yang Guo heard Chen Mubai's words, her attention was focused on the stars who were starring in them, and she didn't care that Chen Mubai said that she would write the script herself.
"Yes, we don't need those people." Chen Mubai nodded and said, "I'm not going to make a historical-themed tribute film either? I want to make a film about modern soldiers? It's also the main theme of tribute, no problem."
"So, you want to make a commercial gift film?"
"yes."
Yang Guo asked curiously: "Is the time urgent?"
"It's almost April, and you still have to write a script..."
"No problem, what about the actors? I am personally responsible for it. I will choose it myself when the time comes? You go and reply to the above, I will take it."
Chen Mubai said: "Can you tell the superiors? I will send the script for review in a few days. As long as it passes? The project will be approved directly!"
"Okay!" Yang Guo nodded and immediately went to deal with the matter.
"Main theme movie? I didn't expect this opportunity." After Yang Guo left, Chen Mubai sat on the office chair and smiled.
This movie was one of his favorites in his previous life, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to make it now.
Under normal circumstances, this movie cannot be filmed, and it must have official support. Some of the aircraft carriers, missiles, and aircraft in it are strategic weapons of the country, and ordinary people have no chance to film it.
But things are different now. The country requires a tribute film, so the opportunity comes.
Since the above chose Chen Mubai as the director, they must give him all the priority privileges possible to satisfy his filming needs and allow him to complete the film.
However, now he has no way to communicate these things with the people above.
He must first complete the script, then send it for review and show it to the government people, who will then know the type of film he wants to make.
If it passes the review, it means that the government will cooperate with him to complete the film. If it fails to pass the review, he can only change the script and shoot in a different direction.
Or return to shoot the historical process of the motherland. This is the last resort, and it is also something Chen Mubai does not want to shoot.
History has already happened, so what’s the point of always regurgitating it?
Tomorrow will be better. Everyone should focus on the future rather than the past. He doesn't want to follow the true story and film it again. It's meaningless.
Once it passes the review, it means that the people above know the tanks, cruisers and other military weapons that need to be used in the movie, then they will definitely give Chen Mubai support and he can complete the movie.
In modern times, everyone is developing cultural industries internationally and conducting cultural penetration into other countries.
China's military power is one of the best in the world, and Chen Mubai wanted to use this movie to promote this power, which can be regarded as a disguised promotion of China's military power and culture.
It fully meets the above requirements. It is a movie that conforms to the main theme and is used as a gift to the motherland.
October 1st happens to be the National Day, and it couldn’t be better to use a movie like this as a gift.
However, all this will have to wait for a reply from above. His top priority now is to complete the script and submit it.
Chen Mubai started preparing for this matter.
...
The news that Chen Mubai became the director of this year's film dedicated to the motherland has spread online.
The Ministry of Culture and Mubai Entertainment confirmed the news and made it public.
The reason why the Ministry of Culture publicly publicizes this matter is to remind all stars that if Chen Mubai approaches them to make a movie, it will be for the motherland, so they should try their best to cooperate.
At this time, no matter how big the conflict between the two people is, they have to put it aside and focus on completing the movie.
Every year, the Ministry of Culture makes it public in order to ensure the smooth progress of the film and to prevent accidents during filming from affecting the progress of the film.
In the past, when directors were publicly announced, not many people paid attention.
At least, netizens don’t pay much attention to it, but major entertainment companies and celebrities do. After all, it is very important to them. Many people want to join the filming. Well-known celebrities respond to the call of the country, while unknown people just go and have fun.
Resume.
For example, "Little Fresh Pork" is just gold-plated. How can it be considered a work? It's still a feature film!
This time, because the director is Chen Mubai and has his own traffic, more people are discussing it.
Ordinary directors don't have much traffic. After all, they are not celebrities who need to show their faces.
No matter how great a director is, he will not have much fame and influence. People in the industry recognize him, but netizens only pay attention to celebrities.
Just like a movie, you will pay attention to who is the protagonist, but not who is the director. In a song, you will pay attention to which singer performs it, but not the songwriter, right?
No matter how famous the people who work behind the scenes are, they are not as good as stars compared to the audience.
Fame and influence within the industry and outside the industry are two different concerns. This is what everyone says: laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.
Chen Mubai is special. He is a director and a star with both strength and popularity, so his every move attracts much attention.
Even if you make a movie as a director, you will receive a lot of attention from the outside world.
Therefore, as soon as this news was announced, everyone started a heated discussion.
"Chen Mubai will take over the gift film now?"
"It's so cool. Every director who makes a tribute film is a well-known director. This seems to be the first young director, right?"
"Forget about young directors, how many directors dare to say they are more capable than him? Isn't it normal for him to take over?"
"That's right. He just won the Oscar, and those people are further behind him..."
"That's right, what's the use of winning more awards at home? It can only be said that he is great in his own country. Chen Mubai has won two awards in foreign countries. How many people can compare with him in this regard?"
"Although the gift videos are not interesting, I will still support him for Chen Mubai!"
"Me too."
Netizens are very enthusiastic, and many people have expressed their support. At the same time, there are many fans of other celebrities who hope that their idols can film this movie, which can be regarded as joining forces with Chen Mubai.
Chen Mubai's current abilities are obvious to all, and few celebrities have ever collaborated with him. This is a good opportunity, and fans of many celebrities are looking forward to it.
"I hope I can find Li Meng~"
"Wang Kai will definitely go, he is a powerful star, and he is far from being a traffic figure~"
"Guess which stars Chen Mubai will find to star in?"
"I would say, with Chen Mubai's current influence and the specifications of past gift films, all stars will definitely want to go. It just depends on which stars Chen Mubai can accept."
"I'm also looking forward to it, but the stars of Starway Entertainment must have been excluded first, haha~"
Everyone was discussing which stars Chen Mubai would invite to join the movie.
...
Jiaxing Economy.
"Mr. Wu, Chen Mubai is the director of this tribute film. We have had issues with him before. Will he..."
Wu Tian sighed: "Of course he will. He is a person who will retaliate for his anger. As long as you don't provoke him, he will not take the initiative to provoke you. But if you touch him, he will never let you go. We Liang Zi
It’s settled.”
"Although I haven't had any conflicts recently, if I offended him in the first place, this matter probably won't work."
The vice president said: "How about we talk to someone, or find an intermediary to work it out, and formally apologize?"
Wu Tian closed his eyes and thought deeply.
"The supporting roles that appear briefly in this kind of tribute film should all be celebrities. We are the largest artist company. If they don't cooperate with us, there will be half of the stars missing. I don't think he will find unknown stars to star."
"To a certain extent, this kind of film is a film that shows the face of the country. The officials also hope that it will be more powerful. The more stars and the more famous they are, the better."
"We have always had conflicts before. Maybe this time we can give him a step to understand this Liangzi?"
They made a mistake in that matter at the beginning. Now, although Chen Mubai has a gift card and many celebrities want to join, he also needs to invite celebrities to join and get the consent of others. This is a two-way choice, not one-way.
sex.
This movie cannot have too many unknown people and needs well-known stars to support the scene, so Jiaxing is the best choice. Relatively speaking, the initiative lies in their hands.
This time, they had an advantage and even took the initiative to apologize to Chen Mubai. They should understand this holiday. They gave Chen Mubai enough face and kept their posture very low.
Wu Tian mentioned this idea to the vice president, who thought about it for a while and thought it made sense.
"That's it. Then I'll contact you and see their reaction." The vice president said in surprise.
He was surprised that Wu Tian could come up with this good idea quickly. It was really amazing!
If this matter can be resolved, they will have accomplished a major event and solved the problem with Chen Mubai. There may be no possibility of cooperation between the two parties in the future!
Wu Tian took this opportunity to not only send his own stars to participate in the movie, but also to resolve the conflicts between the two parties, killing two birds with one stone!
Not only Jiaxing Economics, but all entertainment companies are paying attention to Mubai Entertainment's actions and Chen Mubai's every move.
This matter is really related to their interests. It is normal for everyone to be concerned about it.
