Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

Everyone has been very interested in this sci-fi movie earlier. After all, it is Huaxia's first sci-fi movie, and it was produced by Chen Mubai. With the quality and reputation of Chen Mubai's works, everyone will naturally look forward to it.

Chen Mubai personally promised to make a sci-fi movie. Everyone thought they would wait a few years to see it, but they didn't expect to see it in a year. So when Tao Yaoyao shared information about the movie, netizens were really excited. Surprised.

The sci-fi movie itself is enough to make people look forward to, but I didn't expect it to be exposed with a budget of one billion yuan, which is even more shocking!

If the news is true, it will break the highest production standard in the history of Chinese movies, and it will be unprecedented in terms of scale and budget!

Even if you look at the world, there are only a handful of productions with this kind of budget.

It can be said that since the news that Chen Mubai was going to shoot a sci-fi movie was exposed, countless people in Huaxia have looked forward to it, and everyone also wants to see how far Huaxia's sci-fi works can achieve.

For a long time, everyone watched foreign sci-fi film and television works, and did not see real domestic sci-fi blockbusters.

Even if there are some works under the banner of sci-fi movies, they are all peddlers, but in fact there are no sci-fi movies, they are all romance and comedy movies.

At most, there will be no special effects for an alien, and there is not even a fierce fighting scene, and the special effects can tell the sense of fragmentation at a glance, which is not as real as foreign countries, and blends into the real environment.

There have been many discussions about Chen Mubai's sci-fi movies on the Internet before. Neither Mubai Entertainment nor Chen Mubai responded. Everyone has been discussing and waiting for a response.

Now, Mubai Entertainment is finally going to respond, and Chen Mubai's new movie conference is finally held. There are too many questions in everyone's mind, and maybe they can all be answered.

 …

At the press conference of "Iron Man", there were many media reporters, and there were many fans who came to watch outside. The security personnel were doing the security work on the scene.

The fans were full of enthusiasm and shouted the names of Chen Mubai and the other leading actors. Among the starring stars, there were also other well-known stars.

Although this movie is independently produced by Mubai Entertainment, not all the actors are from Mubai Entertainment. The few characters with more roles are all stars of the local Jiaxing economy.

The main purpose of this drama is to spread its influence. Naturally, the more stars the better. For this reason, there are many foreign actors who are signed by the Mubai Entertainment Division of the United States, and they are also relatively famous stars.

Aside from their roles in "Prison Break" and "The Walking Dead" and becoming popular, before that, they themselves were not pure newcomers, but they were not as popular as they are now.

The popularity of these two dramas has given birth to the fire of the actors, allowing their careers to reach new heights.

This time, in "Iron Man", they gathered together again, and they will definitely be able to give the movie the greatest boost and help the work expand its influence!

This time the press conference was held in Huaxia, and there were not only Chinese reporters present, but also foreign reporters!

This was arranged by Mubai Entertainment. The film's press conference is for global release, and the reporter's communication expenses are borne by Mubai Entertainment. It is to let foreigners know the relevant information about this movie!

The reporters are waiting for the questioning session, they have too many topics they want to ask!

These are the topics that netizens pay the most attention to and discuss the most!

The reporters started asking questions.

"Regarding the "Iron Man" movie, there was news earlier that it had invested one billion yuan. Is this true?"

The first question attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked at Chen Mubai curiously.

This question was the most discussed and the most widely discussed at the beginning, and now I finally have the opportunity to know the facts.

Chen Mubai was not surprised, nor did he practice Tai Chi to avoid the topic.

"no."

Chen Mubai's answer instantly made the scene listening to the answer quiet, and the noise kept ringing.

it seems that

Is this really Mubai Entertainment's publicity strategy for this movie?

Although, Mubai Entertainment has never said this sentence, but the person who said this is Tao Yaoyao!

This is tantamount to using Tao Yaoyao in a disguised form to promote the film, Chen Mubai directly denied it, wouldn't it harm Tao Yaoyao?

When everyone was noisy and puzzled, Chen Mubai spoke again.

"To be precise, it should be more than one billion yuan. This is a conservative budget. In the post-shooting, we will continue to increase investment, just to achieve the best effect and ensure the quality of the film to be higher guaranteed!"

"Wow!"

This time, the whole audience was boiling.

It turns out that Chen Mubai's denial just now is not denying the authenticity of this topic, but saying that the budget of one billion RMB is a conservative estimate! ?

These words were like a huge hammer, hitting everyone's hearts heavily, causing huge turmoil.

The reporters were also shocked by Chen Mubai's rhetoric.

No one has ever said such grandiose words, even the director of the "Monster" series dare not have such bold words!

Because the director does not have the absolute right to speak, the investment is the only way. A film can only have a budget as much as it can attract, and it is impossible to increase the investment budget infinitely!

The difference between Chen Mubai and others is that he himself is a director but also an investor, so he has the confidence and ability!

Chen Mubai spoke eloquently, his expression did not seem to be fake, it can be seen that he would really do this.

"The budget of one billion is not enough, why?" A reporter asked in a daze.

What this reporter said is also a question in many people's minds. Such a high budget is not enough. What kind of trouble is this going to do?

Chen Mubai didn't mind his recklessness, but chose to answer: "This is the first Chinese sci-fi movie. I hope to do my best to make it the best. This will be the beginning rather than the end."

"For me, this movie is the beginning of a series in my heart. Huaxia pays attention to a good start, and I think so too, so I value the quality of this movie very much. Quality is more important than benefits. "

Advertisement, the reading app I am using recently, [ \\Mi\\Mi\\Reading\\app \\\\] has many sources of books, complete books, and fast updates!

The reporter grasped the point keenly: "The beginning? The beginning of what series?"

Chen Mubai replied with a smile: "As we all know, "Monster" is a series of movies, with monsters as the grand plan to create a [monster] universe, every movie is a continuation of this series, and derived IP, as long as there are monsters, everyone will Happy to pay for the movie."

"The same is true of my thoughts. My definition of this movie is a superhero movie, which is also a series, not an end."

The reporter's eyes lit up: "That is to say, "Iron Man" is only the first part, and there will be 2 or 3 in the follow-up?"

"Yes." Chen Mubai nodded in affirmation.

"This movie is the beginning and the representative."

Chen Mubai used the "Monster" series of movies as the blueprint to tell everyone about the grand plan, but the reporters present only thought that he was going to make a sequel to "Iron Man" and continue. They never thought that Chen Mubai wanted to make more superhero movies. Then blend this up!

Even in the "Monster" series, there are only new monsters appearing all the time, instead of putting all the protagonists of monsters in one movie.

Because each monster is an independent protagonist, and has the highest fighting power in their respective works. If they are put in the same movie, the fighting power will not be well balanced, and it will cause fan wars. After all, every monster has a fixed fan base. .

Each invincible existence in the work, placed in the same work, which one is stronger and weaker?

This kind of scale is difficult to grasp. Once the filming is not good, it will inevitably cause disputes, which is fatal to the movie. After all, "Monster" has a huge fan base, which is relatively harmonious. Once the two monsters really confront each other, their respective fans It will also be divided, resulting in scolding wars.

Although there are more gimmicks, which may make the film's performance to a higher level, but the risk is also great, and the chance of failure is greater. If you really do this, it will be a bit thankless.

Chen Mubai said that he wanted to shoot a universe of superheroes. In everyone's eyes, he only thought that he would shoot various heroes and did not think that he would assemble heroes to form a universe.

This plan is too grand and has a huge layout. The most important point is that no one would have thought that Chen Mubai wanted to integrate these heroes into one work. It is really appalling!

At least, there is no such precedent in this world, so naturally no one would think of this level.

What Chen Mubai said just made the reporters think that he wanted to create a "Chinese version of the hero universe" to fight against Hollywood's monster universe.

The reporter asked again: "What does a superhero mean?"

"Heroes are known to everyone. There are many related figures in history, including some celebrities and famous events. They can also be counted as heroes. In ancient times, they were the kind of knights with fast swords and kindness. Superheroes, as the name suggests, are not ordinary people but superhumans."

Chen Mubai's tone is firm: "The reason why it is a sci-fi movie is because human beings are the masters of the earth, but there are still other creatures in the universe. The earth will encounter these invaders, and these superhumans will stand up to protect human beings. This is the role of superheroes." meaning."

The reporter was puzzled: "Isn't the so-called superhuman being the gods in mythology?"

Chen Mubai shook his head and said softly: "Similar but different, everyone has extraordinary abilities, but the difference is that these superhumans are human beings, not gods."

Everyone was not very satisfied with Chen Mubai's explanation, and was a little confused by his explanation.

Just listen to him continue: "The gods are high above, and they also have interest groups, just like the Jade Emperor is in charge of the heaven in the East, and the gods below work for him. The monsters in "Journey to the West" are all acquired, basically Sun Wukong didn't kill any monsters, so the Bone Demon was really killed because he had no power."

"For the gods, the life and death of mortals is not important. They are more selfish, and the gods are not perfect. Only humans understand the sufferings of human beings better, because they are the same kind of people, and this kind of people become superheroes. Will be more determined to protect the earth, from the point of view of their own motivation, superheroes are better than gods aloft."

"Of course, this is my understanding of superheroes and gods."

The explanation was extremely detailed this time, and the reporters understood it.

Some people think that what Chen Mubai said is indeed reasonable, even if it is a character in the myth, would it be selfless?

Of course not, even in fairy tales, everyone is full of selfishness, just like Medusa in ancient Greek mythology was originally an extremely beautiful woman, but was eventually jealous of Athena and turned into a snake demon.

Even the gods are still unable to escape their selfishness. If they are really asked to use their lives to protect the weak human beings, can they really do this?

It is naturally impossible to look at the problem from the perspective of an adult, but a hero who grows up like a human being, because the roots are the same, will indeed pay more attention to the demise of human beings, which has nothing to do with interests. This is a war between races!

"Superhero." After reading it a few times, someone suddenly said, "Since we are fighting against enemies in the universe, there must be more than one person, right?"

"So, there are going to be a lot of heroes that are going to be filmed?"

This question is very level, and it involves the future planning of Mubai Entertainment. If this is the case, it means that Mubai Entertainment will shoot a lot of sci-fi movies, and not just one series, there may be multiple series!

After all, there are several "Iron Man" movies, so maybe the rest of the individual hero movies are the same?

"Yes." Chen Mubai admitted decisively.

"Wow!"

Everyone present exclaimed, and then everyone became excited.

Since Chen Mubai admitted this in public, it means that there must be such a plan, and perhaps Huaxia will usher in the era of "science fiction movies"!

Even if Mubai Entertainment is the only company to shoot, judging from this huge shooting plan, there will be no shortage of sci-fi movies!

What's more, once the prospects of sci-fi movies improve, companies will inevitably join in and get a share of the action. Perhaps China's sci-fi era will come soon!

 …

After the "Iron Man" press conference, everyone really learned about the movie, and they were also shocked by Chen Mubai's grand plan and amazing investment.

It is extremely rare to invest such a large amount of money in a movie. The investment of one billion yuan is already the highest investment in Huaxia's production. I didn't expect that it was just a guaranteed budget. It shows how much effort Chen Mubai will put into this movie!

"It's outrageous, Chen Mubai really surprised me!"

"Yeah, I thought it was fake when I saw the news, but I didn't expect it to be true, and it's even worse..."

"Sci-fi movie, superhero universe, I'm looking forward to it~"

"I quite agree with Chen Mubai's views on gods and superheroes. Maybe it's because I have read too many mythological works. I deeply understand the insignificance and weakness of human beings. For these extraordinary characters, our life and death are indeed not determined by them." Note that it is even a sacrifice, just like the gods in the Cthulhu mythology, there is no distinction between good and evil."

"Support Chen Mubai. There are several stars that I like gathered in this movie. Recently, I have watched "Prison Break" and "The Walking Dead". It happens that the leading role is also in it. I look forward to it~"

"Not to mention, the movie poster alone makes me feel very handsome. Chen Mubai's half face covered by a mask is really handsome!"

Netizens are discussing the movie with unprecedented enthusiasm, and countless media news are reporting the content of the press conference.

The same is true for foreign audiences. After all, these foreign reporters were invited, not for nothing. Everyone received red envelopes and naturally worked hard to write the copy for this movie.

Information about the movie and Chen Mubai's future plans were all reported.

There are foreign audiences looking forward to it, but some people disdain it. They don't think Chen Mubai can fight against Hollywood blockbusters.

Wanting to create a universe similar to "Monster" is really a dream!

 …

AMC.

"What a joke, Chen Mubai thinks too highly of himself." Trillis laughed at Chen Mubai's decision disdainfully.

Caitlin also smiled, obviously thinking the same way.

Chen Mubai is indeed very capable and able to gain a firm foothold in the American entertainment industry, but it does not mean that he can create an "Oriental Hollywood", or even want to create a universe like "Monster" to expand his influence. The difficulty of these two things is completely different .

The former can be done as long as there is a work, the latter is much more difficult, not only the problem of the work, but also a series of things, publicity, influence...

Take "Monster" as an example. This is a top-level film, with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. It took a long time to produce and many companies cooperated to complete it. Even in Hollywood, where there are many blockbusters, it can be said to be a top-level production.

Chen Mubai is a Chinese director, and he has no experience in making sci-fi movies. When he comes up, he aims at the highest works. Isn't he looking for excitement, and he will inevitably fail.

The goal is too big, the steps are too big and it is easy to scratch the egg. In their view, Chen Mubai's behavior is like this.

Don’t look at the high-sounding and demagogic words he said, but this is just to make netizens happy. They can only see the finished works but not the huge price behind them. This kind of grand goal is not easy to talk about It was extremely difficult to do.

"Maybe, we have been too anxious to deal with him all the time, but we are prone to failure."

Trillis had a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "As it is now, letting him kill himself may not be a good idea."

"Chen Mubai was blinded by the success of these few times, thinking that this matter is not difficult to do, and he will know what kind of difficulties await him when he really embarks on this road."

"This time, we can kill his vigor, maybe this failure can deal a heavy blow to him, and then we can attack again."

A talented person like Chen Mubai is very proud, and it is bound to be difficult for him to accept the blow of failure. Perhaps a single failure will make him depressed, or it will take a long time to get out.

The best time to deal with him is when he is in a slump, with two prongs.

"I don't know what step Huaxia's special effects can achieve..."

Caitlin said lightly: "Wait, I'll see how long he can remain in high spirits."

Trillis said with a sneer: "The day the film is completed is when he fails, and if we deal with him then, I don't believe he can turn things around!"

Caitlin's vermilion lips parted slightly: "Success will make people proud, and they will ignore their own weaknesses. Maybe even if they know it, they may not change it. Many successes have made Chen Mubai feel at ease in the past. A single defeat must be a heavy blow to him. I look forward to it. At the moment of his fall, he is indeed a difficult opponent."

"In the same way, we must keep in mind, don't be fooled by success, and always look at yourself. It was because we didn't pay attention to him at the first time that we made him succeed."

"You are right, I will keep it in mind and implement it." Trillis complimented.

After the press conference of "Iron Man", Chen Mubai joined the crew and started filming!
