Chapter 843 Filming 'When Happiness Comes Knocking'
"Congratulations, Mr. Chen, another movie is a hit!"
After the movie was released, Bruce Lee smiled and congratulated him.
Although this movie has nothing to do with them and was entirely shot in China, we are all from the same company and will naturally be happy with the results of our company's work.
"Your publicity is also very important. I have seen some publicity copywriting, which is very good. I will be very curious when I see it. You also have a lot of credit." Chen Mubai responded with a smile.
For a movie to be a big hit, in addition to its quality, publicity is also very important. If the early publicity is done well, more people can know about the movie. Those interesting promotional copywriting will make everyone have an interest in the movie.
Be curious and watch.
The slogan promoted by Bruce Lee is just like this, very interesting and easy to attract people.
The fact that the movie has such a large box office this time is inseparable from the promotional methods.
"It's not my fault, I'm telling the truth. The main reason is that the previous works have laid a good foundation, and those works have also gained us a lot of loyal viewers and fans, so everyone will be more enthusiastic about the new works."
Bruce Lee is not proud of taking credit: "Without the support of the previous movies, no matter how much I promote it, I will not be able to improve the box office of the movie. The quality of the movie is the most important thing. Your script is excellent and the story is great."
Very good, so everyone pays for it. Without these prerequisites, no matter how much I do, it will be in vain."
What Bruce Lee said is not wrong. The fundamental reason for the movie's box office success is that the movie itself has excellent quality and good reputation, so it can create a virtuous circle, continuously attract new audiences, and also make the movie's reputation among netizens.
It ferments in the mouth and attracts others.
Once there are more people discussing it, the popularity will increase, and the traffic will naturally come.
Publicity is only a means of great influence, not a key factor in determining box office. No matter how good the publicity is, it attracts the curiosity of netizens, and then everyone walks into the cinema and sees that the movie is not as interesting or as high-quality as they imagined.
If high, then on the contrary, these publicity will also become the fatal weakness of the movie and have a devastating impact on the movie!
There are many movies that were promoted extremely hard, and the publicity and distribution was so intense that the popularity of the movie exploded and aroused the attention and curiosity of countless people. However, when it was released, everyone found out that it was a bad movie after watching it.
The reputation of the movie was so bad that everyone who watched the movie was angrily criticizing the movie.
As a result, the reputation of the movie dropped rapidly, and even some people who had become interested in watching the movie or bought movie tickets directly refunded their tickets and chose to give up on the movie.
Bruce Lee was very modest. He attributed all the credit to Chen Mubai and the director. He did not feel that his publicity was very important. He just thought that it was not a big credit to them.
"We just did our job well, and you also completed your task very well, so don't be modest." Chen Mubai praised.
"Thank you." Bruce Lee thanked him.
"The first season of The Walking Dead has ended. How has the audience responded?"
Chen Mubai has been busy filming the second season of "Prison Break" and preparing for "The Pursuit of Happiness". He has no time to pay attention to netizens' discussions about the ending of "The Walking Dead".
"It's very good. Everyone is looking forward to the second season. We are already making preparations as soon as possible and will start filming again when the time comes."
Bruce Lee reported: "Generally speaking, the ending is also very good, and we have already informed the audience of the filming plan for the next season as early as halfway through the screening, so the audience is relatively stable, and everyone is just looking forward to the next season.
If you can come as soon as possible, you can see the next content."
"The response to our film and television dramas has been quite good. Netizens and fans hope that we can launch new works as soon as possible. According to your request, we have acquired some works for adaptation. Currently, several works have established filming plans.
By then we can film and release it, and the number of works will be even greater."
Following Chen Mubai's instructions, Bruce Lee acquired many classic works for film and television adaptation. After all, it is impossible to always rely on Chen Mubai's scripts for filming. As the company grows, more and more people like Mubai Entertainment. Everyone is looking forward to it.
After seeing more works, Chen Mubai alone cannot solve them.
Therefore, it is only a matter of time before we purchase the copyrights of excellent works for film and television adaptation. Domestic Mubai Entertainment also went through this stage.
Although the quality of the works is not as high as Chen Mubai's, it has indeed alleviated the needs of netizens to a great extent, which is also a sign that the company is on the right track.
As early as when the branch here began to develop, Bruce Lee was looking for excellent works to negotiate to ensure that these works could be used when needed. The project could be established so quickly because of his precautions.
"Very good." Chen Mubai nodded.
"My work here is almost in progress. "The Pursuit of Happyness" can be officially launched. You can hold a media conference for me."
"No problem!" Bruce Lee said excitedly.
"The Pursuit of Happiness" is a work specifically targeted at the American market, so the press conference was naturally held here. It can be said to be a completely "American" movie.
...
When the press conference of "The Pursuit of Happiness" was held, it caused quite a stir and was extremely popular.
After all, "The God of Death" has just been released with a box office of 100 million U.S. dollars. Together with "I'm Not a Medicine God" and "Saw", the three movies have grossed nearly 300 million U.S. dollars at the box office in a short period of time.
!
Not to mention the other works, the box office of the last three movies alone can illustrate the excellence of Mubai Entertainment. The quality of the movies is very high and they are very profitable!
The investment volume of each of these three movies is very small compared to those American blockbusters, especially "Death is Coming", which is even more pitiful, and there is not even a star to support the show.
Just such a movie, but it took in 100 million US dollars at the box office!
What does it rely on?
It depends on the quality and reputation of the movie. The quality of this movie is excellent and the movie is very imaginative. People in the industry have analyzed that even if it is not produced by Mubai Entertainment and released by another company, it will still be a hit!
In the eyes of American audiences, the quality of Mubai Entertainment's works is pretty good, and they have gradually recognized the company's name and are willing to pay for its works.
Behind every best-selling work, you can see how outstanding the quality of the work itself is. Chen Mubai's talent has once again amazed people in the American entertainment industry.
The three best-selling movies were all written by Chen Mubai. He was the screenwriter and the one who determined the tone of the story!
How could his new movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" not be noticed this time?
The popularity of "Death Is Coming" has not completely passed. Chen Mubai's new work appears again during this period, which will naturally arouse heated discussions.
Everyone is very curious, what kind of work will he shoot this time?
However, Chen Mubai did not appear at the press conference, which also disappointed many media people.
Bruce Lee attended in place of Chen Mubai and answered some questions about the movie's themes and genres. He basically answered all the questions without spoilers.
This is also the first film produced by Mubai Entertainment to hold a press conference in the United States, which has a different meaning.
Like previous works, the press conference was held in China without exception, and then after the film was completed, it was released in China and then in the United States.
The news everyone gets is not first-hand news, and all the news about this movie is the latest news.
Chen Mubai's move caused speculation in the industry. Will Chen Mubai officially start producing and releasing movies mainly in the American market?
Although someone has asked about this topic, no relevant answer has been obtained.
Chen Mubai was unable to come to the scene due to filming "Prison Break" and preparations for "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", which can be regarded as blocking some people's mouths.
After the press conference, relevant information about the film began to appear in the media news. At this time, Chen Mubai was still very famous, and netizens had strong expectations for the film.
There is no way, he has produced too many excellent works, so everyone has such high expectations for him.
A few days later, the filming of "The Pursuit of Happiness" officially started!
...
"Cage, don't be nervous, just do it like you usually do when shooting commercials. Your lines are very simple. If you forget, you can just look this way without showing any trace, and we will give you some tips." Chen Mubai smiled and said.
Child star actor Cage chats.
As a child, Cage will definitely not be able to perform as well as an adult, so Chen Mubai will try his best to help him, let him adapt, and at the same time let him let go of his nervousness.
Filmmaking is his first attempt, but it is essentially the same as filming commercials. As long as he can adapt to the camera, everything is easy.
"Good, thank you uncle!"
Cage is a Chinese-American mixed-race child who is very cute. When he looked at Chen Mubai's smiling face, he relaxed his nervousness and gave Chen Mubai a smile.
"If you have any questions, just tell uncle. Don't be afraid."
Chen Mubai smiled and touched Cage's head: "Just treat it like playing a game. You just need to behave as usual."
Although the child is small, he is not stupid. When he came to the set and saw so many people surrounding him, he couldn't help but be a little scared.
Chen Mubai could see that he was very nervous, so he kept communicating with him, trying to make him relax. He had been playing with Cage for a while, and Cage's nervousness gradually eased.
"It doesn't matter if you call me uncle now. When we start filming later, you'll have to call me daddy."
"I know~"
Cage laughed haha, his tone was childish and very cute.
