Chen Muyang took the crew to Hengdian Film and Television City.
I originally planned to shoot in Hong Kong, but based on the principle of proximity, I chose Hengdian.
If Liangjiang Film and Television City didn’t have a suitable venue, I wouldn’t even want to go to Hengdian.
......
With the free comments from viewers who have watched the show in the past few days, "Big Fish and Begonia" has become a hot topic and its reputation has begun to emerge.
More and more audiences go to the cinema to watch movies.
The box office exceeded 100 million on the second day.
In fact, the ticket price for "Big Fish and Begonia" is not that high. It is only 28 yuan in the county town, 35 yuan in the main city of Yuzhou, and 56 yuan in super first-tier cities.
Many well-known film critics began to express their own reviews on the platform.
"After watching 'Big Fish and Begonia', I just want to say that in terms of visual production, it is even more stunning than 'Your Name'!"
"This movie has a very high attendance rate, and the theater also gave a lot of money for making the film. Brother Yang's production is bound to be a masterpiece. This saying is really true!"
"I'm sure everyone has heard the song 'Big Fish' many times. Doesn't the scene you imagine when listening to the song resemble the movie?"
You have to know that in this world, Chinese animation is very scarce and there is nothing worth showing off.
The emergence of "Your Name" and "Big Fish and Begonia" filled this gap.
"So, this movie and the song 'Big Fish' are a perfect match. Especially the visual production has reached the current ceiling level. If the full score is 10, I give it 9 points!"
"Therefore, I strongly recommend everyone to go see this movie. After all, the ticket price is not expensive, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the development of domestic animation."
This is a review of "Big Fish and Begonia" from a Weibo celebrity named "Poisonous Tongue Film Review".
This film review quickly sparked heated discussion.
"Damn, aren't you a sharp-tongued person? Why are you licking it?"
"Are you just after the money? Even though Big Fish and Begonia seems to be doing very well at the box office right now, the level of domestic animation is so low, what's the point of watching it?"
"To be honest, this blogger's article isn't flattering. This movie is worth the box office. If you have time, go see it in the cinema. It will refresh your understanding!"
"I agree with the above. I've seen it. I'm not exaggerating. The number one domestic animation is undoubtedly Big Fish and Begonia!"
"Brother Yang is said to have invested 30 million in this production. This is a big production, so the quality must be high!"
Not only that,
Deng Zhao, Xu Zheng, Yang Xuejian and others are also publicly recommended on the platform.
This movie is definitely worth watching!
Under such popularity, the total box office of "Big Fish and Begonia" has reached 350 million during the entire May Day holiday, and the momentum is still rising.
Although the holiday is over, the film has only been released for three days and has great potential for growth.
According to estimates, the final box office of "Big Fish and Begonia" will be around 1.5 billion.
But that’s all later. At this time, Chen Muyang had just landed at Yiwu Airport.
Then we took another bus to the film and television city, found a hotel to stay in, and wait for King Liu and others to come.
"Xiao Nan, spread the news and invite several media outlets to hold a film launch conference in this hotel exhibition hall at 2 pm tomorrow." Chen Muyang said.
Xiaonan is Huo Tingting's assistant.
"Okay, Mr. Chen." Xiao Nan did as he was told and went down to spread the news across the entire platform.
That evening, news of the launch of Chen Muyang's new film "Infernal Affairs," which he wrote, directed, and starred in, appeared on the hot topic lists of major platforms.
Chen Muyang was talking on the phone with Zhao Lishi.
"Sister Lishi, the script you requested has been written."
"Really? I'll send you the email address, and you can send it to mine." Zhao Lishi said in surprise.
"Okay, there are two, you can choose one." Chen Muyang hung up the phone, and soon he received an email from Zhao Lishi.
Chen Muyang sent "The Journey of Flower" and "Princess Agents" that he bought from the system to Zhao Lishi's email.
Then I finished video chatting with my wife and children before going to bed.
Around ten o'clock the next morning, King Liu arrived at the hotel with several actors.
"Welcome King Liu to the team, thank you for your hard work." Chen Muyang greeted him at the hotel entrance.
"Haha, Director Chen, you're too polite. I'll leave my 100-plus pounds to you for the next few months." King Liu smiled, then pointed at the people behind him and continued:
"By the way, this is Zeng Zhiwei. Is it okay for him to play Han Chen?"
"This is Zhang Jiahui, who plays Huang Zhicheng. This is Lin Jiadong, who plays Da B. This one plays Sha Qiang, whose name is Du Ze. This lady plays my fiancée, whose name is Zheng Wen."
Chen Muyang looked over and examined them carefully, and they were very consistent with the character image.
"They're all good. There's no problem with the people chosen by the King himself. Welcome to the crew. Let's have a drink together later. I'm sure everyone has read the script. There's a press conference at 2 pm that everyone needs to attend."
Chen Muyang got to know each of them one by one, and then gave each of them a script.
"No problem. Now that we are in Director Chen's territory, you have the final say." Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile.
The big boss in Hong Kong is not arrogant at this moment.
"Xiao Nan, go and tell the hotel to prepare the banquet." Chen Muyang called to Xiao Nan.
"Okay, Mr. Chen." Xiao Nan nodded and left.
"Mu Yang, the script of this movie is really good, you must make sure to film it well."
After sitting down, King Liu said.
Although Chen Muyang has made low-budget movies, this type of movie tests the director's skills even more.
"Haha, of course. If I have any questions, I will ask you seniors for help. Let's talk about the pay first." Chen Muyang said with a smile.
King Liu’s salary is 30 million. There’s nothing we can do about it, the king’s salary is very high.
Zeng Zhiwei's salary for the film was 10 million.
Zhang Jiahui and Lin Jiadong together have 10 million.
Du Ze and Zheng Wen together have eight million.
Then the actor who played the role of psychologist Li Xin'er was Lin Qian, an artist from his own company, and she was paid 8 million yuan.
"Just give me 10 million, but I want to invest 50%." Liu Tianwang suddenly said.
"King, you have given me a difficult problem. You should know that I am not short of money. So how about this, you will be the producer of this movie, and I will give you 20% of the investment share, which is 20 million. How about it?" Chen Muyang said.
He calculated the cost based on 100 million yuan. After all, although he did not receive any salary, it still had to be included in the cost.
"Good! Happy cooperation!" King Liu said loudly, as if he was afraid that Chen Muyang would go back on his word.
"It turns out that old people are more experienced. Let's have a pleasant cooperation with those old brothers?" Seeing this, Chen Muyang didn't realize that he had fallen into Liu Tianwang's trap.
But he didn't care. King Liu had been a superstar for decades, and being the leading actor in a movie was a golden signboard, so he didn't lose out at all.
"It's a pleasure to work with you!" several people said.
"Let's go and have a drink?" Chen Muyang said.
"Drink less, don't you have a press conference? Don't get drunk then." King Liu said.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The venue of the hotel exhibition hall has been set up, and more than a dozen media outlets have arrived, including many entertainment reporters.
