Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 214 215. Looking for opportunities to exchange talents and abilities 【Subscription】

Lu Chen looked at the group of people quietly, and shook his head speechlessly.

Lu Chen really felt that these screenwriters were here to make trouble for him.

"Eight Hundred" may not be the best war film, because the spirit it wants to convey is relatively clear, and it will not make people fall into the struggle of human nature and moral dilemma.

But in any case, it has achieved its purpose, it reflects the awakening process of Chinese national character, and it once again reminds people to remember history.

Based on this alone, it leaves a large number of domestic films that also want to achieve this goal far behind.

For the questions raised by these screenwriters.

Lu Chen was really speechless.

Regarding the matter of jumping off the building with a grenade, people at the time didn't say yes, but they didn't say no either.
Lu Chen spoke very bluntly.

He didn't bother to play tricks with this group of people.

The crew, after all, has the final say.

If not, replace it!
He really didn't want to serve these people.

Last year's gift film was shot like that, why didn't you guys raise the bar.

It is said that his drama is not real, but is the one last year real?
Anyone who can't act well will get out.

If you question the script again, try to convince him.If you can't be persuaded, get out as soon as possible.

A crew doesn't need to have too many voices.

Lu Chen directly and forcefully suppressed the entire crew.

Liu Dehua struggled a few times, but he knew the seriousness, weighed it up, and felt that Lu Chen was more reasonable, so he didn't act as a demon.

If this great god does not take the lead, other rebellions will fail.

Although it took a lot of effort, Lu Chen finally completely controlled the entire crew, leaving only his voice in the crew.

This also woke up Lu Chen.

It is best not to accept such a film next time.

These people definitely see him as easy to bully and easy to talk to.

Try another director!

It is also because of this that Lu Chen chose to maintain his dignity throughout the whole process, and did not get along with the crew members at all.

Throughout the filming process, Lu Chen always appeared as a tyrant on the set.

Even in the face of Andy Lau and several other big shots, he did not restrain himself.

The direct consequence of doing so is that the entire crew is implementing his will, and the crew of "Eight Hundred" also successfully completed it in the shortest time.

After the finale, at the finale banquet, many actors expressed that they would never cooperate with Lu Chen again.

"Director Lu scolded people too much."

"I was scared when I saw Director Lu appear."

"Even if Director Lu offers me a sky-high salary next time, I won't suffer from it."

……

……

Regarding these complaints, Lu Chen accepted them all, and said in his heart that after "Eight Hundred" hits the box office, you will lick me as much as you want.

There's nothing he can do about it.

If they don't put their majesty on their faces, these people will definitely cause him trouble.

For example, Andy Lau spoke.

Do you want to change it?

Definitely change!
Can he not give others this face?
But what about after the change?
What if other people want to change it?
Salad.

Many TV series and movies have been scrapped in this way.

Therefore, after Lu Chen took control of the crew, the shooting progress began to speed up significantly.

In the end, the crew successfully wrapped up.

About the shooting of "Eight Hundred".

One of the reporters said: "What I feel the most about this place is the real "war scene". In the cold winter, the bitter cold wind makes the weather here even colder. Being in it is as if a war has just happened here: being bombed Crumbling houses, burned windows, broken sandbags... I don't know how such a real scene was created, but as an ordinary tourist, I can't see any flaws at all.

Walking along the messy streets, shivering under the strong wind, looking at the scene in front of me, I can't help but sigh with emotion-don't forget the history, we are self-improvement, peace is so good.

Such "war scenes" have only been seen in film and television dramas before, and I still feel a lot of emotion when they are really in front of my eyes. "

After wrapping up, Liu Shishi looked at his own Mr. Lu and instantly changed his face.

Wei Wei was stunned.

Afterwards, he couldn't help sighing, Mr. Lu like this is better.

this time.

She was still a little worried.

What exactly stimulated Mr. Lu to cause a drastic change in his personality.

Fortunately.

Mr. Lu just wanted to be a studio tyrant for a while.

After wrapping up, Lu Chen had to be busy with editing.

On the third day after finishing,

Lu Chen started to soak in the editing room.

A week down.

Zeng Jia saw the unshaven Lu Chen in the editing room.

Some stunned.

"Lu Chen, you haven't gone home to sleep for three days, be careful."

Lu Chen waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that I haven't done much repairs in the past few days, the editing of the film is important, Miss Jia, remember to remind me on the publicity side."

"Don't worry, even if we don't promote this film, the audience's expectations are full."

"However, are you a little rushed from time to time?" Zeng Jia asked.

In fact, Zeng Jia was not the only one who felt that time was too short.

The entire crew felt that Lu Chen was a little too rushed.

It was already the beginning of June when the filming of "Eight Hundred" was finished, and Lu Chen was about to release it on National Day.

That means less than four months are left for post-production of the film.

It doesn't feel like a blockbuster cycle by any means.

Huaying has also made preparations for the National Day release next year.

Including the above thought too.

Too much investment.

The time is too short, and the quality cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, they also communicated with Lu Chen. If it really doesn't work, it will be fine even if it is released next year during the Lunar New Year.

However, Lu Chen still refused.

For four months, it might be too late for someone else,

But for Lu Chen.

Enough time.

Lu Chen insisted on doing this.

He has a reason.

"It's a bit rushed, so I have to work overtime. Sister Jia, please work hard. You must make the promotion of "Eight Hundred" as big as possible, and try to scare away potential opponents in the National Day file."

After Lu Chen confirmed that "Eight Hundred" would be released in this year's National Day file, Zeng Jia paid attention to the competitors in the National Day file.

When Lu Chen said this, Zeng Jia reacted.

This year's National Day file is a bit fierce.

Judging from the news that Zeng Jia inquired, it can be said that China, South Korea, and Russia are fighting for hegemony, and Deng Chao and Li Lianjie staged a fantasy showdown.

Director Xu's outstanding performance in the National Day file last year.

Many Hong Kong film directors saw the huge box office market in the Mainland.

During the National Day file in 2011, Hong Kong filmmakers were extremely active.

First of all, "The Revolution of [-]", a collaboration between Jackie Chan and Director Zhang, has been finalized.

9 month 23 day.

It was the first to sound the clarion call for the 2011 National Day file.

Then Deng Chao and Chen Dao's "Painted Wall", Li Lianjie and Cheng Dao's "White Snake Legend", Guo Dao, Fang Zuming's "The Adventures of Li Xianji", and Peng Yuyan's "Summer Joyful" were also included. They have been set on September 9, September 28, and October 9.

What does it mean?
This is looking down on him, Lu Chen.

Jiaxing Media and Huaying announced the lineup of "Eight Hundred" early on.

But these people don't seem to care much about "Eight Hundred".

Announced without hesitation that the national day will be fixed.

In addition to these domestic works.

Korean movie "Mother Chicken and Duck".

The Russian movie "Quick Action" also landed on the mainland movie theaters on October 10.

"Do you think this is a good opportunity?"

Lu Chen nodded: "Yes."

In this year's National Day file box office competition between China, South Korea and Russia, fantasy-themed special effects blockbusters have become the mainstream of market consumption.

If Lu Chen remembers correctly, this year's box office champion and runner-up are "Painted Wall" by Deng Chao and Director Chen, and "Legend of the White Snake" by Li Lianjie and Director Cheng.

How about these two movies!

bad movie.

Both movies have a 4.8 rating.

Bad movies all have one thing in common, that is, they treat the audience as fools.

If "The Promise" is mysterious and silly, then these two films are really silly.

"There are so many rivals, why don't we avoid them? Just leave enough post-production time, we just wait for the Lunar New Year file, and the higher-ups agree, and the Lunar New Year file has even greater potential."

Lu Chenxin said that the national teacher will be back after the new year.

This year's Lunar New Year stalls are a bit more competitive.

Guoshi's "Jinling Thirteen Beauties" vs. Xu Dao's "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" has become the biggest entertainment news of the year. "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" Zhang Yimou joins hands with Hollywood superstars Bell and Ni Ni to tell a patriotic story,

Director Xu of "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" joins hands with kung fu superstar Li Lianjie in 3D martial arts.

Both films did not fare badly at the box office.

"The national teacher has failed so many times, so it's time to come up with a work that proves his strength." Lu Chen said calmly.

He found that Zeng Jia looked down on the national teacher a little bit.

Tell the truth.

Being able to become a powerful director, how could the national teacher be so cool?

"Guoshi is very powerful, but we don't give up too much. There are Andy Lau, Tang Lei, and Shi Shi. Whether it is an actor or a director, we all have something better than them, so we don't need to shoot."

This wave of Zeng Jia is telling the truth.

He wasn't flattering Lu Chen on purpose.

It is not controversial in this era that Andy Lau is better than Zhou Xun, Kun and Li Lianjie.

In terms of director's professional achievements, the current Lu Chen must be inferior to Guo Shi and Xu Dao.

This is also not controversial in the industry.

The history of Dao Xu and the national teacher's fame is not what Lu Chen can compare now.

Although Lu Chen instantly skyrocketed in the industry with "Cohabitation Beyond Time and Space" and "Initial D".

But Lu Chen knew it well.

Compared with these big guys.

He's still a lot worse.

However, Lu Chen also believes that after "Eight Hundred" is released.

This gap will be infinitely narrowed.

With the success of "Initial D" before, Lu Chen can only say that some people are optimistic about his talent and ability, but he has not fully fulfilled it.

The film market will not give him this opportunity.

This time is different.

This time, the film market opened the door to him.

With this wave of success, he can fully realize his talent and ability.

This is why Lu Chen clearly knew to take over the task of "Eight Hundred".

There will be a lot of obstacles and a lot of trouble, which is why I gritted my teeth and took it over.

Just because you can get through this movie.

Redeem his talents and abilities thoroughly in advance.

Otherwise, the success of "Initial D" and "Cohabitation in Time and Space".

The most is to let the industry recognize his strength.

Brush up on experience and presence.

As for the others.

Help is limited.

Have to keep brushing.

This time, Lu Chen really didn't want to compete with the National Teacher, even if he was sure of winning.

He didn't intend to go either.

"Eight Hundred" and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" are considered similar themes.
But by comparison.

"Eight Hundred" is absolutely dominant, Lu Chen has this confidence.

However, Lu Chen still didn't want to go head-to-head.

Because he wants to dominate the entire National Day file.

Copy Wu Jing's famous work.

"Wolf Warrior 2".

"Wolf Warrior 2" has a box office of more than 50 billion, what kind of status does Wu Jing directly hold?
Wu Jing's road to becoming a god is quite similar to Xu Zheng's. The box office of Wolf Warriors 1 was less than 6 million.

Although it was considered a success for Wu Jing's second film, it failed to bring Wu Jing greater fame.

Until the first battle of Wolf Warriors 2, the God of War.

In addition, there is Xu Zheng.

The same is true for Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng gained popularity through TV dramas, and later gradually found a suitable partner in the cooperation with Ning Hao, but he has not been able to make it to the top.

Until the appearance of "Lost in Thailand", Xu Zheng, who became a director for the first time, also took advantage of this battle to become a god, and won the top box office list that year. Since then, Xu Zheng has become a box office IP figure that no one can ignore.

"There's no need to compete with them. Winning them again will only benefit me." Lu Chen shook his head.

Hearing Lu Chen's words.

Zeng Jia was completely stunned.

His face changed instantly.

"What you said before is true?"

Zeng Jia's voice became anxious?

"What did I say?"

"You said that after "Eight Hundred" is over, we will be able to have a company building like Huayi?"

"That's right. But now the box office proceeds have been donated..." Lu Chen nodded.

"then you……"

"Didn't I tell you before?" Lu Chen said innocently.

"you!"

Office building.

How much money can afford an office building like Huayi.

At least one billion.

How much box office does "Eight Hundred" have to have before they can get more than one billion in revenue?
30 billion or 50 billion?

Lu Chen took a look at Zeng Jia and sighed softly: "Sister Jia, this time it's time to buy us a golden body."

Zeng Jia:"……"

"Director Lu, did you think about it before?"

"That's it."

"Why?" Zeng Jia still couldn't figure it out.

Lu Chen explained: "This is a gift film, the main theme is full of positive energy, and you also know that the military support background information of the film was revealed during filming, so there will be many institutions, government personnel, soldiers, The school will support..."

"Then you don't need to donate everything, right?" Zeng Jiaquan understood when Lu Chen said this.

"I have to donate anyway, so why not make it more grand."

"You and I……"

The matter has become a fact, and it is useless for her to stop it.

Besides, Lu Chen told him before.

The box office of "Eight Hundred" will be very high, maybe high enough to buy the office building of Jiaxing Media.

Now, he gave it up.

It's okay to be unhappy, Zeng Jia still obeyed Lu Chen's instructions.

After all, Lu Chen was right,
Now that the money has been spent, there must be some benefits.

It's just that the price of buying a golden body is too high.

Of course, the high cost also has the benefits of high cost.

At least this golden body will be very hard, the kind that is difficult for others to break through.

Lu Chen is the boss of Jiaxing Media,

She can only choose to obey.

And Zeng Jia also felt that Lu Chen didn't seem to take this office building seriously.

What's the meaning,
It means that it should be very easy for Lu Chen to earn an office building.

That being the case, the elder sister followed suit.

After donating so much at one time, the outside world will not chase them for the same thing.

Let's see who dares to say that they are black-hearted media companies in the future.

Conscience is very good.

Besides, Jiaxing Media is not short of money for the time being.

"You Who Came From The Stars" returned blood forcefully.

Plus "Shark Beach" hasn't been released yet.

Speaking of "Shark Beach", Zeng Jia also understood why Lu Chen arranged for "Shark Beach" to be released after the National Day file.

There is "Eight Hundred" as a base.

It's hard for "Shark Beach" not to be popular.

As long as "Eight Hundred" can become as popular as Lu Chen said.

Zeng Jia absolutely believes that even if "Shark Beach" is as bad as "The Promise".

There will still be countless viewers paying for it.

Since there is no way to change it, now Zeng Jia just wants to make "Eight Hundred" a hit at the box office.

The more explosive the better.

So the announcement of "Eight Hundred" was crazy, and there was no need to worry about insufficient money.

Top five sites.

The explanation and documentary about the background story of "Eight Hundred" have been launched, allowing netizens to understand this exciting history in the shortest possible time.

Countless netizens watched with pride.

major portals.

Under the propaganda offensive of the crew, almost all portal websites have pushed information about "Eight Hundred".

Even CCTV gave them more than ten seconds of commercial time.

The entertainment circle shook.

You have seen people who spend money like water on publicity and distribution, but they have never seen such a waste of money for publicity and distribution.

The lineup is too big.

So scary.

Jiaxing Media is crazy, right?
It should not be.

Even if they are crazy, Yang Ma will not follow them crazy.

Only one problem can be explained.

That is, the quality of "Eight Hundred" is very high.

a time.

How much box office will "Eight Hundred" take?
For a while, the entire entertainment industry was a little jittery, and everyone felt that the wolf was coming.

Movies that were originally scheduled to be released on National Day are considering whether to withdraw their files and move to the next schedule.

Looking at the promotional posture of "Eight Hundred", almost everyone thinks that "Eight Hundred" will be the king of movies on National Day.

Even the distributors and producers of "Painted Wall" and "Legend of the White Snake" think so.

The behind-the-scenes production company of "Painted Wall" is actually Guangliang, and the distribution company is also Guangliang.

Originally, Guangliang planned to promote "Painted Wall" on National Day.

But when encountering a big local tyrant like the crew of "Eight Hundred" who doesn't play cards according to common sense, the glamorous people are also stunned.

They are optimistic about the box office potential of "Painted Wall".

The problem is that they are also optimistic about the box office potential of "Eight Hundred".

We have cooperated with Jiaxing Media for so long.

They knew exactly what kind of strength Lu Chen had.

And they are more optimistic about "Eight Hundred" than "Painted Wall".

Boss Wang called Director Chen and Li Sheng to the office, and the three held a small internal meeting.

Boss Wang was having a headache: ""Eight Hundred" is coming aggressively, what do you think?"

The Chen family frowned.

He can be said to be successful and famous now, but he may not be really afraid of "Eight Hundred".

So when encountering this kind of situation, he is not an ordinary enemy.

Seeing that Director Chen didn't speak, Li Sheng said first, "Someone from the company participated in the filming of "Eight Hundred". I asked them about the situation of "Eight Hundred."

"How to say?" Boss Wang and Director Chen both looked at Lisheng.

Li Sheng said seriously: "When the film crew was filming, it was common for Lu Chen to scold Huang Xiaoming, just like scolding his own artist. Even Andy Lau said NG is NG, the longest time Lu Chen actually asked Andy Lau to reshoot five This time, it's Andy Lau."

At the end of Li Sheng's speech, his tone was a little shocked.

Boss Wang and Director Chen were also shocked.

Director Chen asked himself, maybe he didn't have the courage.

"In this way, Lu Chen is serious about making the movie "Eight Hundred"." Boss Wang's feeling is getting worse and worse.

Director Chen also said: "From Lu Chen's shooting attitude, it can be seen that "Eight Hundred" is definitely not a shoddy gift film."

Li Sheng nodded: "I asked Zhang Shou, the producer of "Eight Hundred", all the investment of 4.5 million yuan was spent, and the total salary of the stars was less than 1 million yuan, and the remaining 3.5 million yuan was all spent on filming. In addition, only Lu Chen had the voice of the entire "Eight Hundred" crew. The screenwriters at Huaying and the screenwriters of the Screenwriters Association were all left aside by Lu Chen. It is said that Lu Chen was in the "Eight Hundred" crew. His demeanor, every day he has the face of a studio tyrant."

Boss Wang's expression became more dignified: "This more and more shows that Lu Chen is not simple. If there are more screenwriters, there will be more voices. If Lu Chen listens to them, the movies he makes will definitely be nondescript. Lu Chen is a A smart guy, but his qualifications are too low, so he can only suppress the entire crew in this way."

Boss Wang understood Lu Chen's intention after thinking about it.

Unusual means were used to avoid this risk.

This is not good news for them.

Boss Wang looked at Director Chen: "Director Chen, change the file."

Chen Jia was stunned for a moment.

Later, Boss Wang explained: "We are familiar with Lu Chen, and his strength is more than what we have seen. This time "Eight Hundred" is an opportunity for him to completely exchange his talents and abilities. He It will definitely not be missed.”

Boss Wang's words almost didn't scare Director Chen.

Lu Chen has been looking for an opportunity to fully exchange his talents and abilities?
real or fake.

After seeing Li Sheng also nodded.

He also nodded, pondered for a moment, and then made a decision: "Then listen to Mr. Wang, change the file, and change "Painted Wall" to the Lunar New Year file."
