Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 215 216. Where does confidence come from 【Subscription】

After Director Chen left.

Li Sheng reminded: "Mr. Wang, it seems that the New Year's Eve is not easy to mess with. The National Teacher's "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and Mr. Xu's "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" are also in the New Year's Eve."

Boss Wang did not forget.

However, compared to fighting with Lu Chen, he would rather fight with the national teacher and the others.

Besides.

He also wanted to see where the limits of Lu Chen's talents and abilities lie.

Li Sheng was startled: "Mr. Wang, are you serious?"

"Have you seen "Painted Wall"?" Boss Wang asked.

Li Sheng nodded.

"how do you feel?"

Li Sheng told the truth: "It's not good, the whole tone is too bullshit, the box office will not be good."

"Yes, the box office won't do well, so it's also cannon fodder if you put it up. If that's the case, don't put it up to block Lu Chen's way." Boss Wang said.

Li Sheng looked at Boss Wang, hesitantly: "Mr. Wang, but will this make us appear too..."

too soft.

He was actually intimidated by Lu Chen, a new star director.

This is detrimental to the glamorous signboard.

Boss Wang said indifferently: "Just find any reason? Besides, wouldn't it be more embarrassing to go up and become cannon fodder?"

Li Sheng smiled wryly.

This is true.

Although they knew that the quality of "Painted Wall" was poor, they still decided to produce it.

Very simple.

Because they are sure that "Painted Wall" can make money.

After all, they are still capitalists.

"It's decided like this. After spending so much money, there must be some profit. If it becomes cannon fodder here, it will be too bad. Although the company has money, it can't afford such a loss." Boss Wang said.

Obviously, Boss Wang is very optimistic about Lu Chen,
I am sure that Lu Chen's "Eight Hundred" can turn "Painted Wall" into cannon fodder.

If you become cannon fodder, your money will be wasted.

Capitalists are always profit-seeking, and there will never be an exception.

Boss Wang is the boss of Bright Media, and his final decision is tantamount to the final decision.

So, the outside world soon received the news:
"Painted Wall" was changed to a Lunar New Year file.

When Lu Chen knew the news, it was Zeng Jia who came here to tell him.

After Lu Chen listened.

Shaking his head helplessly!

He also knew the intention of Bright Media, although it was to make way for him.

But more still do not want to lose.

However, whether the opponent retreats or not has no effect on him.

A bad film is a bad film whenever it is placed.

It is not his enemy at all.

At this time, Deng Chao did not have the blessing of "Running Man".

The box office bonus for "Painted Wall" is limited.

Even if he doesn't retreat.

It can't last for a few days.

Steady, this wave is iron steady.

Lu Chen didn't intend to scare "Painted Wall" away from the National Day file.

He just wants to scare away those lesser-known works.

Although he doesn't want to compete, it's good to have a few such opponents.

Now only the Kung Fu Emperor's "Legend of the White Snake" remains.

On the contrary, he was a little disappointed.

In the previous life, "People on the Journey: Lost in Thailand" why was it able to reach the top of the Chinese film industry back then?
Apart from the fact that the film itself was well shot, another reason is that it followed Director Feng's "[-]".

"Eight Hundred" also needs sacrifices.

In Lu Chen's opinion.

"Painted Wall" and "Legend of the White Snake" are very good.

Everything is the best arrangement.

who knows.

"Painted Wall" ran away.

after one day.

Zeng Jia: "Lu Chen, I know we're running out of time, but you have to pay attention to your body, your dark circles are too obvious."

Lu Chen said: "I will pay attention. The post-production has been basically completed. With Dai Lei and Zhou Ling around, it is still very easy for me."

Lu Chen pointed to Dai Lei and Zhou Ling who were fighting with him in the editing room during this time.

The two have also edited a lot of works.

Previously he was unknown.

Now his reputation has risen a lot.

Being able to keep up with Lu Chen's rhythm, or being able to accurately edit out what Lu Chen wants to express,
The strength of the two is not simple.

It's not that the two don't have a teacher's heritage, they and Lu Chen are considered to be from the same school.

If it is calculated by seniority.

Lu Chen still had to call the two of them senior brothers.

In the entertainment industry, it's normal for people from a college to help each other.

Moreover, they were sent by the academy.

Basically the background is not simple.

Great students often have big bosses behind them, and such words as personal disciples,
Nor is it outdated in modern times.

Of course, no matter how powerful their backgrounds were, it was nothing to Lu Chen and Zeng Jia.

Being able to participate in the editing of "Eight Hundred" is definitely a blessing from heaven.

Both of them almost fainted.

Logically speaking,
It's not their turn,
It was Lu Chen who chose the two of them against all odds.

the reason is simple.

The editors sent by Huaying always like to persuade him.

Made.

When filming, the screenwriter wanted to persuade him.

Now that the filming is over, the editor also wants to convince him.

Lu Chen was instantly upset.

Just don't want the editor at Huaying.

They come by themselves.

Subsequently.

Dai Lei and Zhou Ling were pulled out.

The two are very grateful for Lu Chen's trust. After all, although they are famous, there is still a long way to go before becoming famous.

"Thank you Director Lu."

"That's right, this opportunity is too rare. It's also the first time for the two of us to be such a big film editor. If Director Lu is not satisfied, we can modify it."

Both of them kept their posture very low.

Compared to the editor at Huaying.

Quite a brain.

The two have to thank Lu Chen.

"Eight Hundred" is the film with the largest investment volume this year, and it is also recognized as the number one seed in this year's National Day file.

Lu Chen, an upstart director in the movie theater, is one of the most promising young directors.

Andy Lau, this name is a signboard, so it doesn't need too much introduction.

The combination of these two people, no one in the entertainment industry dare to pretend.

What's more, the two of them are editors who haven't made a big name in the entertainment industry yet.

Things like being arrogant can happen in other places, but if you play arrogantly in front of your own boss and the crew of "Eight Hundred", that is brain damage.

The two of them are naturally not brain-dead.

Lu Chen still admired the two of them very much, and said with a light smile: "Brothers who eat in a bowl, don't be polite."

The two nodded.

Now both of them are members of Jiaxing Media.

Lu Chen treated them well.

Of course it will work well.

be honest.

It's not that Lu Chen can't be persuaded, but if he wants to persuade him, he must at least come up with something that can convince him.

The two got it right.

Unlike the editors who came over from Huaying, they wanted to make major changes from the very beginning.

to their own style.

In this regard, Lu Chen directly told them to leave.

"Lu Chen, if the box office of "Eight Hundred" does not meet expectations this time, our relationship with Huaying will probably be stagnant for a while?" Zeng Jia asked.

Unhappiness happened before I came to shoot.

Come again during filming.

Now clip it again.

In addition, they donated the box office proceeds of "Eight Hundred".

Altogether 4 times.

Offended a little bit hard.

There was nothing Zeng Jia could do about it.

The other party is obviously bullying the shopkeeper.

That is to say, the higher-ups are more optimistic about Lu Chen, otherwise.

The two sides probably fell out long ago.

This time too.

Huaying gathered several well-known editors in the circle.

after coming.

He directly refused to look at the work content of Dai Lei and Zhou Ling who had been fighting for several days.

And also wanted to drive people out of the editing room.

In other words, Lu Chen is the director, otherwise he would probably be kicked out.

In this regard.

Of course, Lu Chen will not be used to them.

There was no effort to overcome all opinions, and there was no discussion, Lu Chen directly told them to leave.

Lu Chen is the director, the first person in charge of the whole movie, no one knows the movie better than him.

I still want to listen to Lu Chen's opinion.

This is also preparing to treat Lu Chen as a tool man.

Of course, Lu Chen won't be used to it.

The drama I filmed, let others cut it randomly.

Are you sick?
Since he insisted, Huaying would no longer insist.

The conflict between the two sides has not yet fully erupted.

The other party is still forbearing.

After the results of "Eight Hundred" come out, I will make a decision.

Lu Chen chuckled and said, "Sister Jia, after the end, they will probably hate us even more? You forgot, they also donated the box office proceeds of "Eight Hundred"."

"It seems to be the same." Zeng Jia nodded.

According to Lu Chen's words.

Such a high box office can only recover the cost.

At that time, the other party wanted to kill Jiaxing Media.

Regarding this, Zeng Jia once again looked helplessly at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen immediately turned around.

Pretend not to see.

for the rest of the time.

Lu Chen continued to be busy with the post-production of "Eight Hundred".

"Eight Hundred" is the kind of movie that touches people's hearts with emotional power.

This is not a purely commercial film, of course, it must be made as a commercial film.

But emotional power plays a big role.

Let the emotions portrayed in the movie hit the audience's G-spot, and "Eight Hundred" can easily resonate with the audience, and then make this movie ascend to the altar.

Any movie that can ascend to the altar must be able to impress the audience.

Lu Chen hoped that "Eight Hundred" could do it.

So he can only come by himself.

If it was replaced by the editor at Huaying, it would have been off track long ago.

Dai Lei and Zhou Ling are not very good at emotions.

The two are mainly responsible for the battle scenes.

The two are still young and willing to learn.

I believe that in the near future, the two will be able to be alone.

To be honest, the two are more suitable for the kind of pure kingly commercial film.

Wangdao commercial movies are about the kind of movies that are purely for fun, without any connotation, and the box office is the only guide.

Lu Chen does not discriminate against this kind of movie, and he will make this kind of movie in the future.

It is actually easier to make money for such a movie, but its reputation is relatively poor, and it is difficult to ascend to the altar.

The two are very good at editing this kind of film.

"Eight Hundred" is not a pure kingly commercial movie, after all, the background of this story is very tragic.

This is determined by the subject matter, so Lu Chen didn't think about changing it.

A theme has a theme of filming.

Since the story of "Eight Hundred" has the power to touch people's hearts, why does it have to be made into a kingly commercial film?
"By the way, the release time of the National Day films has basically been set, what about our side?" Zeng Jia asked.

Lu Chen thought for a while, and then twitched his lips: "We will release it on October 10st."

Zeng Jia nodded and had no objection to the time.

"However, "Legend of the White Snake" has not been changed, will it affect us?"

"Won't…."

Lu Chen shook his head directly.

The quality of "Legend of the White Snake" is there.

Although Kung Fu Emperor has great influence,

But "Eight Hundred" is not bad here.

The quality of the two films must be compared.

than quality.

"Legend of the White Snake" is no match at all.

In Lu Chen's opinion.

The opponent didn't even have the qualifications to fight with him.

It's almost the same as "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate".

Zeng Jia: "...Lu Chen, are you too confident? That's the Emperor of Kung Fu."

Lu Chen chuckled: "So what about the Kung Fu Emperor? It's almost the same if the director is old monster Xu. How strong do you think the low-profile version of "Green Snake" can be? Also, how "Legend of the White Snake" was born, I believe you." It must be clearer than me!"

Zeng Jia nodded.

Not everyone belongs to Lu Chen.

It's not enough to be rich to support one's own wife.

this wave.

The Emperor of Kung Fu may be scolded more miserably.

but.

Lu Chen will not show mercy to the other party.

ask for it.

At the same time, Lu Chen also wanted to tell these bigwigs in the entertainment industry.

Some money is not so easy to earn.

earned the money.

You have to lose something.

For example, the appeal is weakened.

Zeng Jia still couldn't hide her surprise: "It's very offensive for you to want to sit in that position so much."

"Sooner or later, the older generation of directors like to let young people take their time. They want to wait decades before handing over the throne. But who is willing to wait for young people? And it is so boring to inherit the throne. It is me who overthrows the throne. pursuit."

Lu Chen thought clearly.

After "Eight Hundred", he may be isolated.

Just like Wu Jing after "Wolf Warrior 2".

but.

Such a great opportunity.

Lu Chen won't be humble?
Besides, he didn't intend to guard this three-acre land.

Go out and fuck someone else.

This is his pursuit.

That position seemed to him.

It was just a springboard to help him get out.

He didn't want to go out for four or five years.

That would be too boring.

"By the way, let's send an invitation letter to all the directors with the above names in China, and invite them to attend the premiere of "Eight Hundred"." Lu Chen said.

Zeng Jia:"……"

Crazy?
Zeng Jia: "...or forget it, after all, some directors have a bad temper...and they are quite busy."

"Pity……"

Lu Chen still wanted to call all the directors in the circle over.

Let them see themselves in that position.

Still, it can be very offending to think about.

Think about it or forget it.

"Well, let's invite the director of last year's tribute film."

Finally, Lu Chen still said.

Huaying was upset.

Of course Lu Chen wasn't happy either.
He was the one who got troubled, so of course he had to reciprocate.

Teach the other party how to make such a film.

In this way, after he reads it, he might kowtow to his teacher.

Lu Chen felt that he was too kind.

With the promotion of Jiaxing Media.

The facts are as they expected.

The audience's expectations for "Eight Hundred" quickly met expectations.

The pre-sale box office has exceeded 1.5 million.

Seeing the pre-sale box office of "Eight Hundred", Boss Wang was obviously relieved.

As for "Legend of the White Snake", there seems to be no response.

but.

Nervous for sure.

Lost is also certain.

Although Huaying was unhappy.

But they still attended the premiere of "Eight Hundred".

After all, they are also investors of "Eight Hundred".

Master, you must treat your guests well.

Not only Han Dong himself.

The director of last year's gift film also came.

Maybe he also wanted to see the gap between Lu Chen and him.

Other than that,

And Boss Wang.

They had a good cooperation with Jiaxing Media before, but this time they voluntarily withdrew.

Now that Lu Chen sent them an invitation letter, it would be shameful for them to reject it.

No decent person can do such a thing.

So, here comes too.

Not only him, almost all the leading actors of the "Painted Wall" crew came.

Brother Chao Lu Chen is really not familiar with him, he only met a few times during the awards ceremony.

Just exchanged business cards.

The other party took the initiative to join in the show, and of course Lu Chen welcomed it.

Although this was only Lu Chen's third movie to be screened, the premiere of "Eight Hundred" was not bad at all.

After all, relying on the big tree Huaying,

If you want to be worse, you can't be worse.

People in the circle are not stupid.

When "Painted Wall" was withdrawn from this schedule, "Eight Hundred", which was already considered by everyone to be the king of the summer box office, is now even more popular.

Everyone wants to befriend a director who is on the rise, the key is that he is still so young.

However, Lu Chen has not been in the film industry for a long time, and there are not many people who can talk to Lu Chen.

When Lu Chen first debuted.

The stars who rejected him basically came.

Huang Xiaoming didn't talk about it, and directly participated in "Eight Hundred".

Hu Ge didn't say anything.

He has long been an actor of the Lu Chen family.

As for Chen Kun,

This time it finally came.

"Director Lu, I wish you a big box office hit."

Lu Chen shook hands with Chen Kun with a smile, and replied, "Thank you. I believe "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" will also be a hit."

A few words of mutual flattery.

Lu Chen went to greet the others.

He was right.

"Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" is definitely one of Chen Kun's masterpieces.

One sentence, "I will take care of what the East Factory can manage, and I will take care of what the East Factory can't..."

Direct fire to ten years later.

Overwhelm the Kung Fu Emperor.

Played the leading role twice.

Chen Kun should be the most difficult.

That's all about the process of the premiere ceremony. Although Lu Chen has experienced it twice before,
But this time is undoubtedly the strongest.

Especially compared to the first time.

There are only a few people who support it, which can be said to be the difference between cloud and mud.

Although he had never experienced such a grand premiere, Lu Chen still performed with ease.

Soon, it was time for dinner.

The lights at the premiere were turned off, the logo appeared on the big screen, and the movie officially started.

Everyone is paying attention.

The total cost of publicity for the movie "Eight Hundred" is as high as 4.5 million.

This is the 2011 year.

This also means that if other copyrights are not counted, in terms of box office return alone, the movie "Eight Hundred" can only be profitable if the box office must exceed 12 billion.

It can even be said harshly, if the box office of "Eight Hundred" cannot exceed 12 billion, it will be a failure for the high cost of this movie.

Under such circumstances, the crew of "Eight Hundred" still spent huge sums of money on publicity, obviously confident in themselves.

In particular, Yang Ma specially gave him more than ten seconds of advertising time.

Everyone also wants to see where the confidence of the "Eight Hundred" crew comes from.

And the beginning of the movie tells them.
