Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 200 201. Behind the scenes 【Subscription】

three days later.

Jiaxing Media conference room.

Lu Chen directly threw the contract on the conference table, his expression very ugly.

"Sister Jia, what does Huaying mean?"

Zeng Jia also shook her head helplessly, and said, "I'm definitely on your side."

"So Huaying didn't take me seriously?" Lu Chen pointed to the contract.

Zeng Jia shook her head: "Not all, the cake of this kind of film is too big, and countless people in the circle are trying to join in, so there is a high probability that Huaying's side is also hindered by affection."

Lu Chen sneered: "I don't care whether they are out of favor or for other reasons, tell them there, either change the director, or listen to me."

When Zeng Jia heard Lu Chen say this, she was shocked.

"Lu Chen, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious." Lu Chen nodded seriously.

"Although I'm very reluctant, I also have my bottom line." Lu Chen didn't want to be a tool to wash down artists in the white circle.

If you want to be a tool man who follows the trend.

What is he still struggling to develop?
Now that he has chosen this path, he certainly has his persistence.

"Tell them directly, if they don't take me seriously, then replace them. If they still go their own way and insist on controlling the crew, then I have nothing to do. I can't back down in this regard." Lu Chen said.

Whether it is out of selfishness or public interest, he cannot back down.

He made three demands.

Who knows that the other party agrees on the surface, but secretly engages in a trick.

He actually saw a lot of crooked nuts on the list of actors.

Even crooked nuts.

There are still several addicts.

This didn't take Lu Chen seriously.

For this, it is impossible for Lu Chen to bow his head, even if the opponent is Hua Ying, he will not bow his head.

And Lu Chen didn't think that Huaying was qualified to make him bow his head.

Although this is a bit exaggerated, what Lu Chen said is true.

Huaying is very strong, a top media company in the entertainment industry.

But so what.

If things like this become a big deal, they are definitely the ones who are unlucky.

Of course, Lu Chen didn't want to give up "Eight Hundred". In any case, being able to direct such a play meant a lot to him.

The addition is even more powerful than several other films he directed.

Actors all want to cooperate with better actors with higher status, so that they can keep going up.

The same goes for the director.

It also needs a big production to prove itself.

"Lu Chen, I talked with them on the phone, and they think you're making a big deal out of a molehill." Zeng Jia said, "They don't care about nationality, but those few are indeed a little too much."

Zeng Jia felt that if those addicts were eliminated.

It's also acceptable.

The exchange of interests and sophistication are very normal in the entertainment industry.

Lu Chen can also understand.

But Lu Chen didn't accept it.

"These three points are not good at all. It's still the same sentence. If I have to let these people participate in the show, I would rather give up the position of director."

Gift film, so many domestic actors.

Why use crooked nuts.

In Lu Chen's view,
This is not a question of whether it is suitable, but a question of direct impossibility.
This not only makes the audience look very uncomfortable.

Lu Chen would also be very uncomfortable.

What culture has no borders.

Such words, in Lu Chen's view, are completely nonsense.

Nor does he accept such explanations.

Now that they have chosen foreign nationality, Lu Chen does not believe that they will sincerely bless the motherland.

Even if they are qualified as actors.

so what.

At least they are unqualified in terms of being Chinese.

and also,

Some stars also smoke things.

Lu Chen, a star with questionable character, can understand that this circle is too tempting, and it is difficult to produce any saints.

But Lu Chen didn't want to cooperate with any celebrity who violated the law.

That's the red line.

If you touch it, you should be banned to death.

Zeng Jia didn't understand either: "Why?"

Lu Chen asked back: "There is no reason, this is my principle."

Lu Chen didn't make much sense either,

That's his principle as the director of this film.

chose him as the director of this film,

Then you have to follow his request.

Doesn't follow his rules.

Then Lu Chen would rather not guide,
Zeng Jia:"……"

In the end, Zeng Jia nodded.

She also felt that Huaying had gone too far in this matter.

No respect for Lu Chen at all.

"Go and tell them, change people or follow the rules I made," Lu Chen said: "Also, this movie is now in our hands, the control of the crew is in our hands, and we don't have to choose to cooperate with them .”

Zeng Jia's eyes widened: "Will it be bad to do this?"

"What's wrong!"

"They are the main creators appointed by the higher authorities." Zeng Jia was shocked.

Lu Chen actually wanted to replace Hua Ying.

Zeng Jia never thought of this.

Who is Huaying!

Big brother in the ring, so to speak.

Huayi had to step aside for anything that was glamorous.

Most importantly, they are the main creators specified above.

Lu Chen must be too courageous.

Lu Chen shook his head: "I believe the higher-ups will support my decision. Choosing me as the director is enough to explain a lot of problems. If Huaying can have the final say, do you think the position of director can be my turn?"

Lu Chen had already figured this out.

Choosing him was definitely not Huaying's decision.

Therefore, as long as Lu Chen can hand in a satisfactory answer.

For the above,
He will cooperate with whoever he wants to cooperate with.

The higher-ups must also be uncomfortable with Huaying's style of work, so they will organize script collection activities.

Otherwise, just let them do it directly.

Therefore,
Lu Chen won this wave.

""Eight Hundred" is about the character and pride of Chinese people. Do you think it's appropriate for a group of crooked nuts to perform it?" Lu Chen asked.

Zeng Jia shook her head vigorously: "I don't know, but when I watch it, I will definitely feel the shock."

"If that's the case, then just throw the contract back with them, and all the people above will be rejected. Since they don't know how to find actors, then we will find them ourselves." Lu Chen said disgustedly.

Lu Chen also decided to be domineering for a while,
Killed directly with one shot.

Some of the stars above are quite positive.

But who told them to appear on the same list as the problematic ones?
Huaying provided Lu Chen with a list.

Most of the list is from Huaying.

In addition, there are many Xiangcheng actors and Baocheng actors.

In contrast, Lu Chen directly refused.

It's not that I have a problem with them.

Mainly because of this battle, there are no people from these two cities.

Of course it's not right to say that.

The main reason is that Lu Chen dislikes their substandard Mandarin.

Putonghua is not standard,
Then learn the dialect.

Isn't it bullshit?
"Eight Hundred" is full of many local dialects. According to incomplete statistics, there are Hubei dialect, Jiangxi dialect, Shanghai dialect, Tianjin dialect, Henan dialect, Shandong dialect, Shaanxi dialect, Hakka dialect and so on.

In this regard, many viewers complained after watching the movie: If there are no subtitles, I really don’t know what the people in the movie are talking about.

So, there is no way.

Can't even learn Mandarin,
Let alone these dialects.

Why do you ask someone to dub later.

Lu Chen was too lazy to spoil them.

So, after Lu Chen read the above list.

Straight across the board.

Few Mandarin can speak clearly.

Lu Chen even lowered his requirements.

Don't ask them to speak standard, just be clear.

But still nothing.

If not, then don't blame him.

In Lu Chen's opinion.

The reason for the decline of the Xiangcheng entertainment circle is not without this reason.

Can't speak Mandarin clearly.

Who in the mainland audience is willing to talk to them?

Lu Chen didn't like any of them.

Zeng Jia couldn't even understand this.

"Lu Chen, don't you look down on any of these people? Are they all excellent actors?"

Lu Chen sneered: "Excellent ass? Besides, even if you are an excellent actor, not all the plays are suitable. Isn't there something wrong with filming anti-Japanese war movies, not choosing from mainland actors, and going to Xiangcheng and Baocheng? ? It’s not a police movie.”

Industry specializing in surgery.

If it's a gangster movie, Lu Chen will definitely use actors from Xiangcheng.

But when making anti-Japanese war films, it doesn’t matter whether it’s Xiangcheng actors or Baocheng actors,

It's really not suitable to appear in this kind of film.

Undeniable,

The contribution made by Xiangcheng in the Anti-Japanese War.

But there is a high probability that there will be no them in this battle.

and so.

Lu Chen directly refused.

Even including Andy Lau, Lu Chen felt that it was not very suitable.

But Andy Lau's status has reached, he can have special treatment.

Why do other people get special treatment?

Just because he is from Xiangcheng?People from Baocheng?
In order not to damage the relationship between the two parties.

Just get a rep or two.

Too much, did the audience think that the main force of this battle is the people from Xiangcheng and Baocheng?
Not to mention.

Those who come from these two places here in Lu Chen don't get extra points at all.

Lu Chen didn't change his mind from the beginning to the end: "Except for Andy Lau and foreign actors, the other actors in this movie are selected from mainland actors. The first condition for selection is image. If it is the image of a tough guy, this is War movies. The secondary requirement is acting skills, and good acting skills are naturally the priority. Fame is second, according to this standard, let the wind out."

Zeng Jiawei said: "If this happens, it will be too disrespectful to Hua Ying, and it cannot be justified."

"I've given them face, but they don't give me face!" Lu Chen said.

"Forget it, I'll call Director Han myself."

Lu Chen still admires Dong Han's achievements.

Moreover, Han Dong's big festivals have always been clear, and compared with other duplicitous stars, he is completely clean.

So Lu Chen didn't want to have a bad relationship with China Film Group.

Lu Chen believed that Director Han could reject Master Xing.

You should also be able to understand yourself.

of course.

Lu Chen was ready to talk to Han Dong.

After all, he really didn't give Han Dong any face.

But the third master is worthy of being the third master, he is still very angry, at least on the surface.

"The director has the final say on the issue of actors. If Director Lu says it's not suitable, it's not suitable. You can just pick and choose."

"I will definitely cooperate here."

"Goodbye, Director Lu."

Zeng Jia listened to the whole call between Lu Chen and Han Dong, and she was relieved after listening.

"Although Director Han is very talkative, it is obviously a precursor to the storm."

Lu Chen glanced at Zeng Jia and nodded slightly.

Han Dong's politeness just now can only explain one problem, that is, Lu Chen has completely offended him.

It's just that they all come in strong winds and waves, and it won't be so obvious.

Zeng Jia, who has been a manager for so long, also understands this.

"Then what should we do?" Zeng Jia shook his head helplessly.

Lu Chen laughed.

"Haven't you torn your face yet?"

"Yes." Zeng Jia nodded.

After all, he is the boss of China Film Group.

This mind is still there.

Lu Chen smiled: "He knows that the one who will suffer the most from the trouble must be Hua Ying. I'm the one appointed by the higher-ups. If the higher-ups don't nod, he doesn't dare to really replace me. Besides, he won't do that, and he doesn't want to really do it." It’s better to put the contradiction with me on the bright side.”

After a pause, Lu Chen continued: "One more thing, he kind of believes that "Eight Hundred" will explode, if "Eight Hundred" really explodes, believe it or not, I will still be their guest of China Film, Director Han will still You will make friends with me, and you will still think of me even in the gift film next year, but if the performance of "Eight Hundred" is not as good as expected, hehe..."

Lu Chen didn't say the latter, but how could Zeng Jia not understand.

"Hey, so we can only succeed, not fail?" Zeng Jia said.

Lu Chen nodded slightly.

"Believe me."

Lu Chen suddenly exuded fiery confidence: "After this movie is over, I will be qualified to fight for a position."

which location.

That is, the number one director in the country.

There are too many people coveting this position, but no one can sit for a long time.

Because they will all fail,

After success, will float.

The national teacher will not say anything.

So did Director Feng.

Director Jiang is the same.

After they sat in any position, they basically all floated away.

Then it fails.

Finally, the directors of the golden generation in China are not as good as each year.

And, one more thing.

Successful people are surrounded by good people.

Because they dare not offend you at all.

In the final analysis, Lu Chen is not particularly successful enough.

There is still a lot of room for improvement.

However, after "Eight Hundred" is released, this situation will be greatly improved.

Lu Chen is very confident about this.

……

The news of "Eight Hundred" quickly spread in the industry.

At the same time, it was also rumored that Lu Chen scanned and rejected the list of actors provided by Huaying.

At the same time, there was also Lu Chen's request to choose an actor.

Lu Chen spoke publicly, except for Andy Lau, the main creators of "Eight Hundred".

Other actors have to be selected from mainland actors.

When the news came out, Xiangcheng and Baocheng were naturally full of criticism, while the mainland actors all applauded.

Regional conflicts can never be resolved.

In the entertainment industry, regional conflicts are even more intense.

Because resources are limited.

However, Xiangcheng and Baocheng are not big places, but there are many celebrities.

There are more opportunities for them, which naturally squeezes out the space for mainland actors.

"Eight Hundred" is undoubtedly a blockbuster, and the investment volume can be said to be the highest in 2010.

Director of "Eight Hundred", the first film is "Cohabitation in Time and Space", and the combined box office of the second "Initial D" has exceeded 20 billion.
Although "Eight Hundred" and "Cohabitation in Time and Space" and "Initial D" are not the same type of drama.

However, no one felt that Lu Chen was at great risk of missing.

Looking good above is enough to explain everything.

Also because of

Huaying didn't dare to fall out with him, because there was a high probability that he would still succeed.

Lu Chen, who has never failed, made Hua Ying, the big brother, have to bow his head.

The director is reassuring, and Andy Lau has announced his participation.

The establishment of this film project is the top resource in the Chinese film industry.

And Lu Chen is going to shoot "Eight Hundred", which requires dozens of mainland actors.

This pie is too big.

So Lu Chen's phone was immediately rang.

It was also the first time Lu Chen found out.

In the entertainment industry, privacy is really not taken seriously.

He doesn't seem to have given his phone number to a few celebrities, but his phone number has been blown up.

No idea who passed it on.

Even Hu Ge wanted to cooperate again.

"Director Lu, can you give me an audition?"

Lu Chen refused: "No."

Hu Ge: "..."

But before he finished digesting his disappointment, he heard Lu Chen continue: "You can just come and sign the contract, but the salary won't be too high, so don't expect too much."

Hu Ge, who is full of sadness and joy: "... Director Lu, you have become more humorous now. Acting in your scenes, you can get as much salary as you want, and you will never worry about this."

Hu Ge also acted in many plays before, including "Legend of Sword and Fairy", which made him famous.

But it was Lu Chen's last movie "Initial D" that made him enter the film industry.

Although not the main character,

But it still caught fire.

He is the one who gained the most from this movie, even Tang Lei can't compare with him.

You know, Tang Lei is the hero,

But no way,

His character design is so good that Tang Lei, the male protagonist, directly became the foil.

The supporting role beats the hero.

The benefits are much greater than the hero's victory over the supporting role.

This is often brought up.

It's just that the male lead can't be compared.

So Hu Ge is really grateful to Lu Chen.

In Hu Ge's mind, Lu Chen is his bole.

Lu Chen is also willing to use Hu Ge.

There are really not many stars with positive energy in the entertainment industry.

Hugo is one of them.

Hugo is less risky than those other stars.

He also believed that Hu Ge was willing to give.

Many stars are reluctant to star in this kind of film, the reason is very simple.

That is there are no filters in this movie.

No beauty.

Muddy face is the most basic.

Comb a big oil back hair.

This kind of character design will not appear in this kind of film.

Lu Chen would not allow such a setting to appear in "Eight Hundred".

And Hu Ge is willing to be covered in mud.

Since Huaying couldn't choose someone, Lu Chen was going to choose someone directly.

His standards are still brutal.

Those who have served in the army, or came out of the art troupe.

For example Zhang Yi.

People really served as soldiers.

Otherwise, it would not be Zhang Yi's turn to play "Operation Red Sea" in the previous life.

"Eight Hundred" needs the kind of actor who has the iron-blooded temperament to fight on the battlefield at first glance.

In the entertainment industry, there are not many actors who can perform this kind of military temperament.

Zhang Yi must be one of them.

In this regard, Andy Lau may not be able to act well.

However, if a person's achievements in film have reached Andy Lau's level, he can indeed have privileges.

Besides Andy Lau, Hu Ge is the fifth actor Lu Chen has confirmed.

The second Tang Lei,
The third is Liu Shishi.

The fourth Wang Yi.

They are all actors from Jiaxing Media.

The next day.

Zeng Jia recommended someone to Lu Chen.Huang Xiaoming.

"Huang Xiaoming came directly to the door, and apologized directly to us. Lu Chen, can you give us some face?" Zeng Jia asked.

She was a little worried that Lu Chen still remembered the matter of "Langya Bang" back then.

Unfortunately, she underestimated Lu Chen too much.

Lu Chen's mind is not so narrow-minded.

Lu Chen thought about it, and felt that he could rest assured of the leader.

In the previous life, everyone participated in the performance.

The acting is also okay.

As long as the actors in the crew are good enough, Huang Xiaoming will not lower the average score.

but……

"Ask him if he's willing to play ugly? "Eight Hundred" is not a movie about being handsome, dirty ones are the norm." Lu Chen said.

Special commissioner Lu Chen decided to change someone.

According to the leader, playing a soldier is the best arrangement.

This can be regarded as Lu Chen's little revenge.

Zeng Jia asked.

Then Huang Xiaoming's call went directly to Lu Chen's phone.

"Don't worry, Director Lu, I will shoot whatever you ask me to do."

Lu Chen: "..."

His biggest thought is: the leakage of personal privacy is really too powerful.

After Huang Xiaoming, Lu Chen confirmed another candidate:
Zhang Yi.

A powerful actor in the future of the entertainment industry.

An actor with a positive image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After Zhang Yi, it was Li Chen.

Big black cow.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with playing tough guys.

When "Eight Hundred" confirmed the candidates one after another, it caused an uproar in the industry.

Because Lu Chen seemed to have no rules in choosing candidates.

Hu Ge and Huang Xiaoming are okay, they are both popular now, and their popularity is not low.

But what the hell are Li Chen and Zhang Yi?

The two are not very transparent in the entertainment industry, but they are not very popular.

The box office appeal is even more vain.

Just when everyone couldn't understand Lu Chen's selection criteria, "Eight Hundred" officially announced another candidate:
Yangguai, played by Wang Qianyuan.

The character of Yangguai is a "veteran", that is to say, this is a person who is constantly facing life and death on the battlefield, so the war in front of him is actually not as ordinary people imagined. so grand.

For soldiers who fight wars, they know best that every battle may be the last, so the psychological construction is often relatively sufficient, in other words, they don't think so much.

Lu Chen has a template from his previous life.

It's not that difficult to choose.

Wang Qianyuan in 2010 was more transparent than Zhang Yi and Li Chen.

Lu Chen's selection criteria are confusing, but also hopeful.

then……

Many people contacted Lu Chen again, which made Lu Chen sigh again.

There are really no secrets in the entertainment industry.

In order to prove his determination, he also wanted Huaying to prove his determination.

Lu Chen wrote on his Weibo account:

"Recently, many people in the industry have come to me, hoping to play a role in "Eight Hundred". Here I announce a selection criteria. In the future, when I, Lu Chen, shoot patriotic movies or TV series, whether it is an ancient drama or an anti-Japanese war Even modern dramas will not use actors of foreign nationality.

"I, Lu Chen, am just a native of Hua, without an international vision. It is hard for me to believe that stars who have given up Hua's nationality will love He Hua deeply, so it is absolutely impossible for me to choose them to act in a patriotic drama. Hope you know !"

As soon as Lu Chen's statement came out.

The entire industry was shaken.

Many people applauded, many people cursed.

Because there are too many Chinese entertainment stars who have given up their Chinese nationality.

Li Lianjie, Gong Li, Liu Yifei...

This is why Lu Chen doesn't like Kung Fu Emperor.

It is said that he has changed several nationalities.

I was stunned and didn't change it back, maybe the moon in a foreign country is really round.

There are many big names.

They were all shot.

Lu Chen was really too tough this time.

It was so hard that people in the industry were speechless for a long time.

As soon as this word comes out,
Lu Chen has set the rules.

At the same time, crooked nuts in the circle.

Naturally, he would hate Lu Chen.

Because Lu Chen directly tore their fig leaf.

This kind of thing can be big or small.

When these stars are making money, they never mention this matter,

Even many viewers don't know that these stars are crooked nuts.

Those who were in peace at first were brought up by Lu Chen directly.

It is clear,
Some stars are going to be unlucky.

Therefore, Lu Chen has offended a lot of people this time.

They will also attack Lu Chen because of this.

The most common method is undoubtedly to discredit Lu Chen.

Unfortunately, Lu Chen has a golden body.

But soon, the photos of Lu Chen's interview made headlines on the front pages of major official media.

Immediately, all disputes disappeared.
