Perhaps because one is to expand the territory by themselves, and the other is to inherit and develop this different identity background, Mu Ming and Wang Tearing Onion still have great differences in the way of thinking about the operation of a project.
For example, the planning of this idol girl group, if Mu Ming does it, it will inevitably take into account the development of both idols and platforms; And if the king tears the onions, he can use one of them as "fuel" to ignite the other.
However, Mu Ming didn't persuade him much, Wang Da was less rich and willful, so he went with him, anyway, it wasn't his own money that was spent.
However, when it comes to idol girl groups, it does evoke a lot of memories of Mu Ming.
At the beginning, he was also one of the passer-by fans of various Japanese and Korean combinations.
From the "07 Big Three" and "09 Seven Heroes" of the second-generation women's group, to the three-generation women's group; From the "idol otaku" market opened up by AKB's cultivated idols, to the return of Nogizaka like traditional idols.
In the past 20 years, Japan and South Korea have created a broad cultural atmosphere of female idols and a complete industrial chain behind it.
In contrast, the country, especially the mainland, is still almost blank in this regard.
Relatively speaking, the most famous, relying on AKB's established SNH, is also limited to the village, and most of the business outside the village is used as a background board in major programs or film and television dramas.
As for the more niche Qiduo, SING, 1931 and the like, not to mention that few people know about it, they are also on the verge of disbanding at any time due to operational problems.
As far as the development of the industry is concerned, the domestic idol industry will be born sooner or later, but not now.
But then again, without the attempts of the pioneers, there would be no later successes.
From this point of view, even if Wang tears the onion fails, it can be regarded as a contribution to the industry.
The reason why Wang tearing onion to find Mu Ming is very simple, that is, to invite him to be a special guest judge of an issue after the show starts, which can be regarded as increasing the popularity of the topic.
Although Mu Ming knew that there was no use for luan, she had to accept it for the sake of Wang tearing onions.
This matter was originally said on the phone, but because Mu Ming was going back to China, he flew to Zhonghai by the way.
After the matter was discussed, Mu Ming didn't stay long, and returned to Jingbei the next day.
Unlike Wang Tearing Onions, this time there is something serious.
As early as a month ago, he received an invitation from China Film, hoping that he could participate in this year's "Young Director Talent Exchange Program".
The so-called "Young Director Talent Exchange Program" is a project reached between China Film and the American Film Association two years ago.
To put it simply, the specific content is to send some young directors with more potential in China to Hollywood to learn from experience and learn how the world's most cutting-edge film industry operates.
I have to say that there is still a considerable gap between the domestic film industry and Hollywood.
People's subdivisions have almost been perfected, but we have not even established a complete industrial system.
Compared with others, Mu Ming feels more deeply, after all, he just finished filming "Ace Agent" not long ago, and he has personally experienced the operation mode of Hollywood.
To take the simplest example, if he were in China, he would be busy with various post-production and editing now, how could he have so much free time as he does now.
Of course, it is also related to the theme of the movie "Ace Agent", a popcorn-style action comedy.
If he had changed to "Avatar", or "Interstellar", or even "Transformers", he would still be as tired as a grandson now.
There is still a certain threshold for the list of invitations from China Film, such as Ning Hao, Wu Ershan, Guo Fan, etc., in general, they are all directors who have made a move in recent years.
The most important thing is that they are still very young, the older ones are only in their early forties, and the younger ones are only about thirty.
Of course, the youngest must be Mu Ming, and he is the only one in the audience who is a post-90s filmmaker.
"Brother Ning, what is the inside story leaking?"
Mu Ming leaned over to Ning Hao and asked in a low voice.
He has been in the industry for a short time, and he is not an orthodox graduate, so his connections are not extensive.
Of the people present, Ning Hao was relatively familiar.
"It is said that this time China Film is quite big, aiming at a large-scale production of high industrial standards."
Ning Hao said frankly.
"Big production?
How big can it be?
” "Science fiction."
"I'll go!"
Mu Ming was obviously shocked by the news, it's not that he looks down on the domestic film industry, but so far, even in another two or three years, it will be difficult to come up with a truly qualified sci-fi movie in China.
For no other reason, because science fiction films represent the highest level of display of a country's film industry system.
Looking at Hollywood's sci-fi blockbusters, which one does not start with hundreds of millions of funds.
Converted into RMB, it is seven or eight billion, even taking into account the relative cheapness of various domestic resources, it will cost at least about 500 million.
Coupled with the publicity, it is not much worse.

It's not just a matter of the cost of money, but more importantly, no one knows how Chinese science fiction movies should be made.
Go left and learn from Hollywood?
So why shoot it yourself, just watch Hollywood.
For example, in Mu Ming's memory, the "Great Wall" filmed by the national teacher, the Chinese army on Chinese soil and the monster against China, and finally relied on an old foreigner to save it.
What's the matter, are monsters afraid of causing international disputes?
Or go to the right and come on your own?
But the domestic science fiction culture atmosphere has been exported by Hollywood for many years, and no one knows what the audience of the audience market is and whether it can support local science fiction.
The cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, the theme that has never been seen before, the unknown market prospects, and the objective technical conditions......
Even if it is a joint production, how many companies dare to take this bet?
Sure enough, as Ning Hao said, the three most important of the several copyright projects taken out by China Film - "The Wandering Earth", "Micro Era" and "Supernova Era", all of which are science fiction works.
It was clear that everyone present was very interested in these three projects.
However, considering the difficulties of the actual preparations after that, most of them hesitated.
The lessons of "The Three-Body Problem" are still vivid, and these projects are even more hot.
But even so, after the initial surprise, Mu Ming really became interested.
As a young man who has watched "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Interstellar", "Gravity", "The Martian" and other works, it is impossible to say that there is no obsession with science fiction.
Of course, the main reason is that it is bound to be interesting to shoot such a work.
As for the difficulties, to be honest, if he was really afraid of difficulties, he would have been able to go down the road of youth comedy after filming "Twenty Years Old Again", so why bother to shoot "Genius Gunman" and "Room".
Of course, in addition to being a director, Mu Ming also represents a film and television company behind him.
Therefore, whether to take over the shooting or not has to be discussed by the company before it can be decided.
And this one initiated by China Film is just a meeting, and it does not mean that everyone must make a decision on the spot.
Unexpectedly, the meeting had just ended, and Mu Ming was stopped before he could go back.
"Director Mu, hello."
"Uh......
Director Guo Fan, hello.
Mu Ming looked at the slightly chubby man wearing glasses in front of him, and after thinking about his identity, he responded, "Is there something wrong?"
” "That's right, I have an idea, I want to discuss it with Director Mu."
"Thoughts?
About what?
” "About the project "The Wandering Earth", about the movie, about ......
Chinese science fiction!
”
