Reborn Millennial Gamer

Chapter 615 Wu Jing and Guo Fan (4K)

Jinmen, North China, the headquarters of Sunac Real Estate.

The second Sunac Plaza is located here, and the premiere of "Painted Skin 2" is at the newly opened Hantang Cinema in the square.

The entire Hantang cinema chain has continuously replicated and promoted the cinema template to the whole country through cooperation with Warner, and invested in the China Film Southern Shinkansen, holding 44% of the shares. The number of screens exceeded 100.

It is second only to Wanda and Jinyi in the private sector.

It is also the only one among domestic film companies!
Taking advantage of the gap between inspecting Sunac Real Estate, Lu Fei accompanied Gao Yuanyuan to the premiere scene to support the movie "Painted Skin 2".

It's not for Zeng Li, it's really for Sunac.

Once the "four trillion bailout plan" is implemented, the entire depressed real estate market will be fully awakened and usher in a spring of turmoil.

That was, and it was also the time when the theaters of the Han and Tang Dynasties were booming.

In the midsummer of July, the evening wind with heat waves blows gently.

Lu Fei rolled up the car window and smiled, "I'm going to fight Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" next week, are you afraid?"

"Not afraid."

Gao Yuanyuan was wearing a black suspender dress and was resting on his shoulder.

"I was quite scared at first, but after watching the samples of "Red Cliff", I am not afraid at all. The filming is as bad as "Golden Armor" and "The Promise". From the beginning to the end, I remembered a very funny saying, 'Mengmeng, stand up'."

She imitated it so sweetly that she couldn't help laughing, "Pfft, I think it's funny when I think about it, it's completely different from the feeling I had watching "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when I was a child."

"It's the same as a ghost."

The corners of Lu Fei's lips turned up, "Can directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan make historical feature films? They don't have the ability! They don't have the background! They don't have the connotation to understand! All they make are gangster movies with a historical skin."

Gao Yuanyuan nodded, "That's right, that's exactly what you said. It's obviously an epic battle, and it's so terribly filmed and stingy, it's almost impossible to watch. That's it, our "Painted Skin 2" won't say it's a sure win at the box office." Well, at least we can draw a tie."

"So confident?"

Lu Fei looked sideways.

"It's Wu Yusen and the others who are not confident. If they were confident, they wouldn't divide "Red Cliff" into two parts. They clearly knew that it would definitely lose money with only one part. The cost is 6.4 million."

Gao Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows, "We are only in the early 1 million. If the box office is 3 million, we can definitely make some money. If it is "Red Cliff", we will lose money, at least more than a billion."

"Our President Gao is becoming more and more stylish."

"Otherwise how are you worthy of me?"

"Hahaha~"

"Heck, when Hantang goes public, it will be more fashionable."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said: "Sister Lifang is planning to go public with the securities department, but the big guys still don't know what to do. Can an entertainment asset-light like our Hantang really be listed on A-shares?"

"It's not A shares, it's ChiNext."

Lu Fei lied that it was inside information.

As soon as the GEM is listed, if Hantang can take the lead in landing, it will be able to enjoy the dividends of the first share of domestic entertainment, raise funds to produce more high-quality movies, and also invest in theaters and the layout of the game industry.

"That's great."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled like a flower, "Recently, the company is short of money. "Search" has won 1.06 million, but after deduction of sub-accounts, marketing and other miscellaneous things, there is not much left. Next year will be the 60th anniversary of the Jian Kingdom. "The Wind" and "Let the Bullets Fly" still need money to shoot, and they can't ask Liu Qijin for it like before, and the life of the coal boss is not easy."

"In the future, the entertainment industry will depend on me, Internet bosses." Lu Fei gently pinched her face.

"Virtue!"

Gao Yuanyuan patted him and lay down in his arms again.

The two of them chatted all the way, and as soon as they arrived at the destination, they saw local movie fans gathered in the Hantang Cinema.

There are huge crowds of people on both sides of the red carpet.

"Yuanyuan, are those two people here?"

Lu Fei lowered the brim of his hat to cover his face.

Gao Yuanyuan took off her sunglasses, "They should all be in the lounge. I told Wu Jing and Guo Fan to wait there when they arrive."

…………

"Mr. Lu!"

"Mr. Lu!"

Guo Fan greeted him cautiously, never dreaming that one day he would be able to stand in front of Master Lu with Wu Jing.

Looking back now, it all feels very abstract.

By chance, I signed up to participate in the "First Young Filmmaker Exhibition" jointly organized by Hantang Culture and China Communication University.

In a daze, he was shortlisted for the Young Director Support Program with the comic "Flowers Bloom, That Year".

After several layers of screening, he finally stood out among a group of people with professional backgrounds and became another contracted director of Hantang. You must know that his previous predecessor was Ning Hao, and now he has entered the director club of Chinese-language films with a box office of [-] million yuan.

I thought I would start from the assistant director who was doing odd jobs in the crew, but I never expected to be brought here, and I never expected to meet my spiritual idol——

Master Lu!

Excited heart, trembling hands.

And Wu Jing on the side is not much better.

His face was tense, his head was buzzing and blank.

Lu Fei shook hands, "I've heard my sister-in-law and Han Hong say that this time you, Wu Jing, are the ones who work the hardest in the disaster relief team of the foundation. You get up at 6 o'clock every day to send supplies, carry sandbags, and move supplies with everyone. Putting up tents and working until midnight."

Gao Yuanyuan added, "I haven't brushed my teeth or washed my face for 7 days, and give up all the water to women and children..."

"That's enough man! I always thought that celebrity disaster relief is just a show. It was you Wu Jing who changed my impression."

Lu Fei gave a thumbs up and praised.

"I just did what I can, far inferior to Mr. Lu and Mr. Gao." Wu Jing looked flattered.

"Love has no size." Lu Fei turned around and said, "This kind of actor is what we should praise, right, Yuanyuan?"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled, "We invite you to the premiere, not only to tell you this, but also to invite you to join Han Tang, we will tailor a few films for you, of course, if you have the idea of ​​directing and acting yourself , we can also invest, I wonder if you are willing to cooperate?"

"Really, really!"

Wu Jing was so excited that he stood up from his chair all of a sudden.

Gao Yuanyuan poured four glasses of water and distributed them to him and Guo Fan.

Wu Jing gulped it down, calmed down and said, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Gao, can I really make my own movie?"

"No problem, the budget depends on the specific situation."

Lu Fei looked at Wu Jing from the left and Guo Fan from the right, and found that there was undisguised envy in his eyes.

"What if I, I want to do a military action movie?"

Wu Jing took a deep breath.

"This is an unpopular type that no one has dared to touch for a long time." Gao Yuanyuan was surprised, "Why did you shoot it?"

Wu Jing said seriously that during disaster relief, when he saw a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys wearing military uniforms running among the ruins, using their own bodies as pedals to let the common people walk over, he made up his mind. How to make a movie that can show military spirit, even if it is bankrupt!

"What do you think?"

Lu Fei was noncommittal, but looked at Guo Fan instead.

"Would this be too risky?"

Guo Fan realized that it was a test, so he pondered for a moment to answer.

We must know that the glory of domestic military films still stays in the last century, especially "Armageddon".

Not only did the box office market receive poor response, but the country also lacked the industrial foundation and conditions for heavy industry films such as military affairs. Not to mention "Black Hawk Down", even "First Blood" was difficult to replicate.

"I disagree with that."

Wu Jing was quite displeased, "Even if that doesn't work, and this doesn't work, that's why no one will make it, and that's why there will never be the first domestically produced military film. Anyway, someone is destined to be cannon fodder, so I'll do it. I'll do it." Be this cannon fodder!"

"Have some ambition."

Lu Fei patted his shoulder, but his eyes were fixed on Guo Fan, "Wu Jing wants to make a military action movie, how about you? If you were asked to do a movie project alone, what would you like to make?"

"Me? I will shoot whatever the company wants me to shoot." Guo Fan blurted out, emphasizing a cleverness.

"I mean 'if,' feel free to say it."

There was a trace of temptation in Lu Fei's words.

"Sci-fi, preferably sci-fi."

Guo Fan bravely said that he has always had a sci-fi dream in his heart. The reason why he became a director across industries is that he hopes to make his own domestic sci-fi film one day.

"Pfft, what, science fiction?"

Wu Jing almost spit out a mouthful of water.

Do you still have the nerve to say that I am taking risks in military action movies?
You are less reliable than me!

He cleared his throat, "Although I don't know much about sci-fi movies, I happened to accept a sci-fi movie recently, "Robot Man" directed by Liu Zhenwei. The gap with Hollywood is quite large, if military films are ten years behind Hollywood, science fiction films are at least 90 years behind, and now you tell me to make domestic science fiction films, it is indeed very sci-fi, quite sci-fi.”

"Boss Lu asked me to say it, so I said it."

Guo Fan blinked his aggrieved eyes, "I also know that the current level of the film industry is unrealistic, but what if in the future..."

"Let's put it this way, if your sci-fi movie can be successful, my military action movie must have been successful long ago." Wu Jing smiled.

Watching the two idealists quarreling, Lu Fei and Gao Yuanyuan glanced at each other and suddenly announced with a smile on the corner of their mouths:
I, Master Lu, voted for your project!

"what???"

Not only Wu Jing and Guo Fan, but even Gao Yuanyuan was taken aback.

The two looked at each other, with disbelief written all over their faces.

Sci-fi and military are themes of heavy industry movies. In Hollywood, they are at least tens of millions of dollars in B-level projects, and they are handed over to two rookie directors with no directing experience and no directing works?

Master Lu, you are not making fun of us, are you?

"You think I'm joking?"

Lu Fei didn't take it seriously, "To tell you the truth, I just want you to help build China's film industry system."

Gao Yuanyuan refilled his cup with soft eyes.

"In recent years, although it has been claimed to the outside world that "Iron Man" has achieved a lot in Chinese and foreign co-productions, so what about "Painted Skin", that is just 'self-deception'. Aren't all Hollywood and stick teams hired?" Lu Fei said solemnly: "Han Tang My own special effects studio is just a participation, we must recognize the gap, our Chinese telephone foundation is very weak, it is just a manual workshop.”

"What is industrialization?"

"The premise of industrialization is standardization!"

He gave an example, the script system.

From the unification of basic formats such as script font size, line spacing, and punctuation marks, all scriptwriting software is used to convert them into databases.

In this way, you can arbitrarily know how many words the characters have said and how many Japanese scenes...

Then use the screenwriting software to connect with the director software, production software, and scene recording software to connect everyone and the system in series.

But today's crew is not yet fully informatized.

Field workers are accustomed to using paper to record, but one hundred days are one hundred sheets of paper, and if they want to find any information in a hundred sheets, how can they quickly find it?
Compared with the Hollywood industry, China Entertainment has just completed motorization, and there is still a long way to go before mechanization and informatization.

"But, why did you choose us?"

Wu Jing and Guo Fan swallowed their saliva.

Master Lu, we are timid, don't play with us...

"First of all, you have dreams."

"It's precisely military dreams and sci-fi dreams, precisely these two are the two most critical genres for the rise of the film industry system!"

Lu Fei smiled and said: "Secondly, you all have vigor, like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai, they are too old and can't keep up with the times. Once you complete the mission of commercialization, you can make way for young and courageous directors. Ning Hao is, and so are you.”

"Thank you Mr. Lu for your kindness."

Wu Jing faintly felt very burning and passionate, but still not confident, "I'm afraid that my ability is not enough, if the shooting fails..."

Guo Fan nodded again and again, agreeing very much.

"Of course not shooting now, Han Tang will arrange for you to go to Hollywood to study and communicate, just like Ning Hao."

Lu Fei raised his hand, "Really, Yuanyuan?"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said: "That's right, I will arrange for you to go to the crew of "Iron Man 2", and you can also go to the crews and crews of "Fast and Furious 4" and "2012". In short, you can learn as much as possible from Hollywood filming and production experience .”

"There is also industrial operation. When you come back, you will cooperate with a small project first, and explore while practicing. Wu Jing's words are right. You just have to shoot with a cannon fodder mentality."

Lu Fei said: "Are you willing to be this cannon fodder?"

Bangziguo pays directors and professionals to study in Hollywood every year, and special effects companies can also get subsidies.

After many talents go abroad for further studies, they will also return to Bangzi Country to open studios and gradually form a special effects base.

In 14, Huaxia arranged for Lu Yang, Wu Jing, Guo Fan, Xiao Yang, and Chen Sicheng to visit Paramount for short-term "study visits" and talent exchanges during the [-]th China-US Co-production Exhibition.

Whether it is good or bad, it is clear at a glance.

Whether you admit it or not, China's military and sci-fi movies are now "0", from "0" to "1", it is useless to spend money.

The key is to hit people, just like chips!
And the leader of the project is either the producer or the director.

"Mr. Lu, can I understand that you want us to sort out our own film industrialization model?"

Guo Fan took a sip of water and suppressed his shock.

"It can be said that from director, screenwriter, photography, to art, special effects, costumes, and even the arrangement of hundreds of thousands of people eating box lunches, China's own industrial process has been created."

What Lu Fei said was categorical.

"Hi~"

Guo Fan sucked in a breath of air, Mr. Lu's plot was serious.

Summarize a whole set of domestic film industrialization from the root, which is tantamount to the same track, the same text, and the same region, unifying the weights and measures of the Chinese film industry system and unifying the standards of the film industry.

Master Lu, this is Qin Shihuang who wants to be the first emperor of Chinese movies!

"The way is here, you decide for yourself."

Lu Fei raised his water glass, and the fortune teller said that I was "one will be successful and ten thousand bones will be dead", but I disagreed.

"If there is such an opportunity, what are you waiting for, I will go!"

Wu Jing's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and he immediately made a decision.

When Guo Fan thought of Hollywood waving to him, and thought that the sci-fi movie dream was closer than ever, he never hesitated.

Isn't it the industrialization of Huaxia Film, let's do it!

"Very good! China's future movie industrialization depends entirely on you! Replace wine with water, let's do one."

Lu Fei hurriedly stood up and picked up the water glass.

I wish the two sirs smooth sailing in Hollywood!
"cheers!"

Wu Jing and Guo Fan blushed, their emotions were completely aroused.

"cheers!"

Gao Yuanyuan obviously drank water, but it was like drinking wine. Looking at the energetic Lu Fei, her eyes were fascinated and her cheeks were slightly red.
