There are many reasons for the failure of a movie, in addition to the quality of the movie itself, there are also reasons such as schedule selection, publicity methods, actor accidents, and so on.
But most of the time, it's the director who is behind the blame.
In any case, Pony Gallop is also a commercial company.
A director loses two movies with both, and everyone must think about it when reinvesting.
However, there is nothing wrong with Ning Hao's approach, and he didn't sign a deed of sale, of course, it was no problem to cooperate with whomever he wanted.
Mu Ming didn't care about the contradiction between Ning Hao and Pony Galloping, he only remembered that the movie "Heart Flower Road" seemed to have a box office of more than one billion in the end.
That's it.
"Actually, it's still a road comedy."
Xu Zheng said on the side.
"Highway comedy......"
Mu Ming rolled her eyes in her heart, it should be a "road artillery drama", all the way to the sky.
"Brother Ning, what's your approximate budget?"
Mu Ming asked.
"Thirty or forty million."
Ning Hao said an approximate figure: "The main thing is that there are more shooting locations needed. ” "Okay, so be it.
Brother Ning, you go back and give me the script, there is no problem, we will cast this drama in Mizuki.
"Mu Ming didn't play anything like that.
If you don't invest, others still have the next family.
It's better than trying to catch it, so it's true.
"Okay, I'll write the script and I'll give it to you."
He just has a rough idea now, and the script hasn't been written yet.
This is the difference between a well-known director and a rookie director.
Like Ning Hao, or up to the level of Feng Xiaogang.
What you want to shoot, have a rough plan, don't need a script, just say it.
Wait for the project to be approved, and then slowly save up the book.
And if you are a rookie director, you have to write the script first, and then find a film and television company to submit the script one by one.
I have to worry that my writing is not good, and people will not look down on me, and I have to worry that my writing is very good and the ideas are copied by those big companies.
"Alas, it's not easy for a rookie director."
Mu Ming seemed to sigh with emotion.
You're a newcomer!
Your movie didn't you invest in yourself!
Xu Zheng and Ning Hao silently complained in their hearts.
"By the way, I heard you're going to make a new movie?"
After finishing business, the atmosphere relaxed.
It just so happened that everything was almost done, and a few people chatted while eating.
"Yes, preparations have already begun, and it will be ready to start in two months."
Mu Ming took a bite of meat, chewed it and swallowed it, "Eh, Brother Xu."
When you have time, give a cameo. ” "Okay, no problem, just say it in advance when the time comes.
By the way, what is the theme of your new movie?
” "Fantasy youth."
"Youth films, then it seems that I can only make a cameo appearance as a teaching director or something.
What is the name of the movie?
” "Twenty Again." ··················· "Shen Mengjun, a grandmother who is over the age of old, was widowed in her early years, and she raised her son alone, so she became extremely hot-tempered......"
"Why are you so obsessed with this kind of story of returning to youth?"
Chen Zhixi covered the script in his hand, looked up at Mu Ming and asked.

"The inspiration for this story came from a story from my mother's youth."
Mu Ming spread her hands and said: "So it's not that I'm obsessed, it's that my inspiration is more persistent." ” This is a very suitable movie that Mu Ming thought of after listening to Mu's mother tell her story that day, "Twenty Years Old Again".
The name of the Korean version is "Strange Her".
First of all, I have to clarify that this domestic version is not plagiarism, and it cannot be completely remade.
Because when this script was first taken out, it was prepared to be divided into four countries to shoot four versions at the same time.
So in addition to the national version and the Korean version, there are also Japanese versions and Thai versions.
It's just that the Chinese director who contacted South Korea at that time was Chen Zhengdao, who was filming "Hypnotic Master" at the time, so he put it down first.
It wasn't until the filming of "Hypnotic Master" was completed that the filming of "Twenty Years Old Again" began.
And at that time, the Korean version of "Strange Her" had already been released.
The script was originally the same, and after the success of the Korean version, the domestic producer deliberately borrowed a lot of shots from the Korean version, plus one after the other, so many people thought it was plagiarism or a remake.
"Who are you going to let play the female lead?"
Chen Zhixi raised his eyebrows, changed the topic and asked, "Li Ying's words are a little unsuitable." ” "It's really not suitable, so I didn't plan to ask her to play it at first."
Mu Ming nodded in acknowledgement.
Chen Zhixi nodded reassuringly, what she was most afraid of was that Mu Ming would stuff Zhao Liying no matter what role she disregarded.
Whether it's for the movie or for Zhao Liying herself, it's not a good thing.
No matter how you say it, it is also an investment of tens of millions, and it can't be ruined because of the problem of actors.
The total budget of this movie is 30 million, which is double that of "Wolf Boy".
Of course, doubling is still a small production.
There are three main investors, Shuimu Xinyang, Guangguang Media and Wanda Pictures.
Yes, Wanda was successfully hooked up by Mizuki.
In fact, there is no need to hook up, just talk about cooperation, and Wanda took the initiative to say that he could join the investment.
After all, everyone now knows that Mizuki's project hasn't been missed.
And for Mizuki, it's also a good thing to make friends with Wanda.
He holds the largest theater chain in the country, and for Mizuki, who is determined to release his own in the future, it is necessary to build a good relationship.
After all, not everyone can be as tough as Zhang Weiping and dare to scare the theater line.
Again, anyone can see that capital has entered the market.
Mizuki is not a veteran company like Guangguang and Huayi, and if you don't communicate with one of the three giants of BAT, it is no problem to develop, but you don't need to think about growth.
"That'......
Do you have a choice for the heroine?
Chen Zhixi asked.
"Not yet."
Mu Ming sighed, Mizuki has two actresses in total.
Xiao Zhao's image is not suitable, and Wang Ou's age is not suitable, so there is no way.
"If it doesn't work, just send out an audition invitation."
Chen Zhixi suggested.
Unlike TV dramas, it's normal for a movie to be starring someone who is not an actor from our company.
"Okay."
Mu Ming nodded: "In this way, you remember the requirements, and when the time comes, you will make a rough selection first." ” "First of all, it can't be too pretty, it's better to be a little boyish; Then, the acting skills can't be bad, and this time the acting requirements for the heroine are still a bit high; Then there's age, the name of our movie is "Twenty Years Old Again", so it has to look about this age.
Mu Ming listed the conditions one by one and asked Chen Zhixi to write them down.
Since they talked about actors, the two of them simply chatted about the arrangements of other actors "Who's the music director?"
Chen Zhixi asked.
"One of the two male protagonists, give it to Wang Kai."
Mu Ming said: "His image is quite suitable.
""Flower Thousand Bone" will be filmed for a while, and the schedule is completely in time.
"What about the heroine's grandson?"

Chen Zhixi asked: "This is also one of the two male protagonists, to Zhang Ruoyun?"
” "Nope."
Mu Ming shook her head and said, "This role needs that kind of energetic and high-spirited young man."
Lao Zhang's temperament is a little more stable, and he can't play that feeling. ” It turns out that this character is looking for Sister Lu......
Ahem, Lu Han, he just returned to China at that time, and his popularity is high, and the producer also intends to pick up his popularity.
But this EXO has just debuted, and the four sons who have returned to China have not yet returned to China.
Even if he wanted to find it, he couldn't help it.
