This is probably Chen Mubai's state at this time, just like the song he wrote before.
Please give me some advice on "The Rest of My Life". This is the most touching love words a man can say to a woman. Tao Yaoyao understood Chen Mubai's eyes.
"I trust you......"
Tao Yaoyao looked at Chen Mubai tenderly, her sparkling eyes seemed to be dripping with water, as gentle as water and full of affection.
She has never doubted Chen Mubai's feelings for her. She really trusts Chen Mubai.
Just because when they first got together, someone sneaked into his room in the middle of the night on the set and he kicked him out, we can tell Chen Mubai's feelings for her.
On the set, it is neither a secret nor a common occurrence for an actress to creep into the director's bed.
Some people reject it and some people accept it. This is an unspoken rule.
However, after all, there are only a few people who do this kind of thing, and it is not a glorious thing, so it is done secretly and will not make a fuss about it.
In a situation like Chen Mubai's, even if he fell asleep, no one would know. Even if they knew, they would keep it in their stomachs. After all, he is not only a director and a star, but also an investor. Who dares to gossip?
However, Chen Mubai rejected the actress and kicked her out of the crew. He also made a special explanation for this matter. His crew would not have such messy things. What he wanted was a rigorous and serious attitude towards the work.
He was aboveboard and revealed the matter himself. Only then did Tao Yaoyao know about such a thing.
Since then, she has placed great trust in Chen Mubai.
A person who can refuse this kind of temptation when his partner is not around and eat secretly without being discovered, isn't that enough to explain his temperament?
The relationship between the two of them has progressed rapidly, not just because of the mutual attraction of talents. This is just an opportunity for each other to appreciate each other's strengths.
When true love begins, the most important thing is the integration and trust in love.
They trust each other, and they selflessly contribute to each other in the process of falling in love without expecting anything in return or mixing in interests. This is the reason why the relationship develops so quickly.
If you have a purpose, I'm afraid your feelings won't be so pure.
"Actually, it's good to be a star. You have a group of lovely people to support you."
Tao Yaoyao heard Chen Mubai talk about retiring and was worried that her words would affect his decision. She didn't want this to happen.
Everyone has the right to pursue what they like, and this right should not be given up for the sake of the other party. Tao Yaoyao did not want Chen Mubai to make this change for her.
"It's not your fault, don't feel pressured."
Chen Mubai looked at Tao Yaoyao who was explaining and laughed softly: "After the first stage goal is completed, my second stage will be you. I will have more time to accompany you to make up for the lack of companionship for you during this period."
"This is my plan. This period is the critical period of the plan, and the final grand plan of the stage will be launched. Therefore, I am unable to do anything. I really miss you a lot of companionship, and I feel wronged to you."
Chen Mubai said warmly: "Too many people have placed high hopes on me, and I can't let everyone down..."
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."
Some things reach a certain level and cannot be decided by one person. There are too many things involved behind them.
Chen Mubai is not an ungrateful person. When others help him, he wants to repay them. He has a strong sense of responsibility.
Luo Fan had helped him at the beginning, and he later returned the favor by helping him film the classic "Infernal Affairs", which reaped both box office and word-of-mouth success. It made police and gangster movies in Hong Kong become popular again, and also made Hong Kong, which had been silent for a long time, become popular again.
The stagnant water in the film and television industry has come alive.
The Chinese government had given Chen Mubai too much support, so Chen Mubai wanted to repay the country as much as possible.
Entering the international market and breaking the monopoly of Hollywood's science fiction blockbusters is the first step. Then, we can spread Chinese culture and enhance the influence and status of Chinese culture in the world. The last step is to change the environment of the domestic entertainment industry and let more outstanding and powerful people
When stars have their day, let capital produce high-quality works as much as possible and provide a good ecological environment.
"This science fiction movie is the last stage. Once completed, I believe it will have a great impact. I am confident that it can change some rules." Chen Mubai is confident.
"Or a series of movies?" Tao Yaoyao felt a little curious after feeling Chen Mubai's strong confidence.
At present, Chen Mubai has executed several movie series, and they all seem to be shot according to long-term plans. This is true for "Death Comes", "Saw", and "Resident Evil".
According to his conception, the final blueprint of the final plan should be to create a series of IPs through a series of movies, and then rely on the popular reputation to increase the popularity of subsequent movies and create expectations among the audience.
At present, both "Saw" and "Saw" have received very good responses. The first one can be said to have had an explosive start, both at the box office and in word-of-mouth. The sequel is very popular and the audience is looking forward to it.
Looking at it this way, Chen Mubai's path is feasible.
"It's a series of movies."
Chen Mubai first confirmed the answer, and then said: "But it's not just a series of movies."
"???" Tao Yaoyao was puzzled.
Chen Mubai did not explain directly, but asked: "What type of movies do you think are the most anticipated by the audience now, and what movies have the highest box office?"
Tao Yaoyao thought for a while and replied: "This is true for famous IP works, whether they are popular dramas or movies."
Works that are popular around the world, including American TV series, movies, etc., are all excellent IP-oriented works that have huge popularity and are pursued by countless fans, so they will develop sequels.
Hiei's "Prison Break" will continue to shoot sequels after it becomes popular. The subsequent seasons will also attract attention because it has accumulated a group of fans, and the content quality of the first season has been widely recognized. This means
Create a successful IP.
If the first season is not popular and the impact is limited, it is not considered a big IP. If it is very bad, it is not considered an IP. Only if it is popular, the IP will become hot.
"Judging from the box office of movies in the market in recent years, science fiction movies account for the largest proportion, especially the "Monster" series, which can be called a box office harvester. Since the first part became a hit, the second part has been highly anticipated. When the movie was released
, the box office is still very high, and the third part is about to be released. The momentum is equally huge, and not only many people are paying attention to it, but also the media. There are also many reports about this movie. It can be said that it is a movie from the project establishment to the start of filming.
A huge blockbuster with huge traffic is indispensable for any release."
"Monster" system is a blockbuster produced by Hollywood. Once this movie was released, it quickly became popular all over the world!
Let’s not talk about the huge impact and revenue generated by this movie. The monster model of this movie is IP, and every peripheral toy, pillow, etc. is a profit. Many people who like it will buy these things, and the profit is huge.
As for the movie itself, the special effects are realistic and huge, and the monsters are particularly powerful. People are naturally curious about monster-type works. This is not a bloody movie, and it is not inappropriate for children.
Many girls like the monsters in it, and even think they are cute, because sometimes some of the monster's behaviors are indeed a bit silly compared to its ferocious face and huge body, and there is a contrast between cuteness and cuteness.
Just like a 2-meter-tall muscular man, the kind who is extremely strong. When fighting with someone, he does not punch hard, but lightly hammers the opponent's arm, just like a girl acting coquettishly, no matter who
You might also think the contrast is too great.
Whether it's cute or not is another matter, it depends on personal thoughts.
"That's true, so this monster series of movies is very successful. This movie is produced by AMC, so it has been in the limelight for the past two years." Chen Mubai agreed.
"So, you want to continue this method and use multiple works to create an IP?" Tao Yaoyao asked.
"This is one point." Chen Mubai nodded: "The other point is to upgrade based on this."
"upgrade?"
"Yes, I want to integrate several series of movies and shoot them together. They are independent of each other, but they also include each other."
Tao Yaoyao was a little surprised after hearing this: "Isn't this not easy to deal with?"
Because each movie involves different things and contains different elements. If they are forcibly merged together, although the gimmick is there, it may destroy the work itself and cause the audience to resist.
Just like "Dead Man" and "Saw", they are both horror and bloody movies, but their cores are completely different. How can these two types of movies be integrated?
Moreover, there are fans who like both movies, and there must be some non-overlapping fans. I'm afraid they will strongly object if the two movies are rashly merged.
"Yes, every movie has its own style. If they are combined, it will really cause some trouble."
"Then what solution do you have?" Tao Yaoyao asked.
Since Chen Mubai raised this issue, there must be a way to solve it, otherwise he wouldn't say this.
Chen Mubai asked Tao Yaoyao again: "Besides science fiction movies, what movies are the most popular?"
"Blood, crime, action..." Tao Yaoyao said several long-lasting categories.
These are elements of many popular movies. As long as the movie is exciting, conflicts are inevitable. Then in the process of conflict, it is naturally the confrontation between different forces. The struggle between the police and gangsters can never be overstated.
“What elements do they have in common?”
"Common elements?" Tao Yaoyao frowned, thinking carefully that these categories were very different, but they had something in common.
"The conflict between the protagonist and the villain?" Tao Yaoyao thought.
This seems to be the only way. After all, the organization and conflicts between many movies are different. What can they have in common?
It became a global hit, and the movie was a box office hit?
This is definitely not what they have in common.
"The creative team? Or is it a matter of the actors' popularity?"
"No, there are also many movies starring superstars that have failed. Stars only have a part of the guarantee of appeal, and it has nothing to do with whether the movie becomes a global hit."
"It's quality." Tao Yaoyao suddenly said: "No matter which movie is a big hit, its quality must not be bad. At least it delivers something that everyone can accept and is similar to."
Chen Mubai said: "Yes, this is a very important point. If the protagonist is annoying to the audience and the concept conveyed by the movie is inconsistent with most people, then not many people will like it, and the box office will naturally not be high."
"Whether it is a good guy or a bad guy, the premise is to make people feel immersed in it. Everyone wants the good guy to win. This is a normal situation, but there is also a situation where some people want the villain to win. This is how well the villain is portrayed. If it is
The kind of guy who was originally a good guy, but was forced to become a villain, then his experience is worthy of sympathy, and some of the things he did resonate with the audience, then the audience will support him, and it has nothing to do with the position of good and evil.
It means stepping into the role and starting from the character’s point of view.”
The premise is that the villain must be able to make people feel heartbroken or pitiful. If he is the kind of person who kills without blinking an eye and commits all kinds of evil, he is a born bad guy. If such a villain wins, he will definitely be scolded to death by the audience, which is not in line with everyone's expectations at all.
Three Views.
Therefore, a plot setting that can meet the three views of most people is a very important factor.
"Another point is that these protagonists themselves are beautified and have a kind of heroism in them. They are often lone heroes."
After hearing this, Tao Yaoyao thought about it and agreed with this point of view.
The protagonist must have a golden finger. Just like in the movie, the villain cannot shoot the protagonist, but the protagonist's pistol can hit the opponent's submachine gun. This is the protagonist's aura.
What you see more often is the protagonist facing evil alone, creating an atmosphere of a lone hero.
Under various conspiracies and tricks, the powerful team of villains still could not kill a protagonist, but were finally defeated by the protagonist. Of course, it was very personal and heroic.
Although it is a bit unreasonable, it makes people feel happy to watch it, as if they have breathed a sigh of relief.
It is a very common expression technique in commercial movies to abandon some less serious logical problems for the sake of some fun points.
"What I have to do is to unite all these [personal heroes]. Although each of them is a hero and an individual, what will happen when they meet?" Chen Mubai said.
Tao Yaoyao was shocked. She didn't expect Chen Mubai to have this idea!
"No!" Tao Yaoyao immediately retorted: "The protagonist of every movie is the absolute protagonist. How can you put them in one movie? How to calculate the scenes? Can you satisfy the taste of every fan who likes the movie?
?”
Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong is the most difficult topic to distinguish. It is full of gimmicks, but because it is impossible to happen, everyone will only discuss it without scolding each other. After all, it is a fruitless comparison.
Once Chen Mubai really does this, if the two movies become a hit, then fans of both sides will not be able to tear each other apart?
Every audience has their own favorite character, and they don’t want this character to be weaker than the other person. Once two people meet in a movie and really start fighting, no matter who loses or wins, they will be criticized. There will always be fans of one side.
It will fry the pan.
"So, this is my next plan, how to balance the characters of each series of movies and then integrate them."
A smile appeared on Chen Mubai's lips: "I want to use this plan to let people all over the world see our works and break the monopoly of Hollywood. I want to establish a superhero organization and personal hero movies."
"I regard these hero series movies as a sub-world, and what they merge together is the main world, which I call the superhero universe!"
Chen Mubai's words deeply shocked Tao Yaoyao.
She was left speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
What is madness?
Or is it whimsical?
However, Chen Mubai's description made her feel a little irritated and her blood boiled!
"Can it really be done...?"
After a while, Tao Yaoyao suppressed his excitement and his tone was a little awkward.
"It's okay." Chen Mubai looked at Tao Yaoyao's anxious expression and said firmly: "It can definitely be done. This is the last link in my plan. It is also the plan I had thought of when I entered the American market. Once successful,
If I can attract global attention, my plan will be completed."
"It's so crazy..." Tao Yaoyao murmured.
"You are also in my plan. I have left a role for you in this universe." Chen Mubai said.
Tao Yaoyao asked: "Ellie?"
She is the heroine of "Resident Evil", which is another series of movies, and can be regarded as a female hero. Judging from the subsequent plot against the Umbrella Company, she perfectly fits everything Chen Mubai just said.
"No." Chen Mubai shook his head: ""Resident Evil" is a separate series, just like "Saw" is just a series in a separate world."
"And the hero movie series I just mentioned are related in the same world background, so you can combine them and you will be a different hero character."
"Of course, this is the role I expected to leave you. If you don't want to play it, that's fine. Everything depends on your personal decision. I won't force you." Chen Mubai said with a smile.
"I want to act!" Tao Yaoyao couldn't wait to speak.
"Although I think this plan is crazy, I have to say that it gives me a thrilling feeling. I really want to be a part of it and witness the unfolding of this plan!"
Suddenly, Tao Yaoyao asked Chen Mubai: "So, the next movie you are going to make is the beginning of this series of heroic universes?"
"That's right." Chen Mubai nodded.
"That's why I said that this movie is of great significance. As a beginning film, there is absolutely no room for error. No matter how much money is invested, even if it does not make money, it must be famous and spread its influence.
It will be beneficial to the production of subsequent works, otherwise it will be considered a failure."
If you can't become popular right out of the gate, there won't be much chance of people being interested in subsequent works, and the first work is especially important.
Chen Mubai looked at Tao Yaoyao. The breeze was blowing, and her scattered hair was dancing gently. Her face was a little rosy at this time, and her eyes were dancing with excitement. It could be seen that she was a little excited at the moment.
"This is the first time I have revealed this plan, and you are the only one who knows about it."
Chen Mubai looked into the distance: "I didn't even tell Brother Lu and the others about this. I just said that it would open the door to science fiction works in China. I was afraid that I would make them nervous by saying too much, so I walked through it step by step. They will understand in the future.
.”
"What I have to do now is to achieve success and give them a shot in the arm."
Chen Mubai is still under pressure. The success of "Iron Man" in his previous life does not mean that it will be the same here. Nothing is 100%, so when he shoots many works, he does not shoot completely still.
A lot of detailed modifications and plot changes have been made in order to make the work more perfect.
"Well, I will accompany you to complete this plan, and I will keep it secret for you!" Tao Yaoyao looked at the high-spirited Chen Mubai and said.
Tonight, the two talked openly about many things, and their hearts seemed to have become closer to each other.
During the rare rest time, after the two of them took in the beautiful scenery, they returned to the hotel room and started a heart-wrenching battle.
After all, they are a couple, and they haven't had any intimate interaction for a long time. This time they are like dry wood meeting a raging fire, full of passion.
Tao Yaoyao was even more moved. After learning about Chen Mubai's plan, she admired Chen Mubai even more. Men's talents and strategies fascinate women the most.
This was the case for Chen Mubai.
He also told about his plan for the rest of his life, which is to make her happy. Which girl can withstand such love words?
Therefore, Tao Yaoyao was particularly emotional, excited and proactive tonight.
