Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 217 218. Outshine 【Subscription】

Thanks to these big guys.

The next step is to thank the actors for their support.

Then the host also brought the topic to Andy Lau: "How does Brother Hua feel after watching "Eight Hundred"?"

Andy Lau replied without hesitation: "It's very good, much better than I imagined. To be honest, I still had doubts about Director Lu when we were filming, and there were some differences between us. But after watching the whole movie today, I can only say that heroes come from youth, and Director Lu is right. The cruel war scenes show the heroic integrity of the nation to resist foreign humiliation. It is my pride to be able to make such a movie."

Liu Shishi was standing next to Lu Chen, everyone knew its relationship with Lu Chen, and was pushed over by everyone.

Hearing Liu Tianwang's words, Lu Chen whispered to his wife: "Learn, this is the EQ of an international superstar."

Liu Shishi said he learned it.

When I was interviewed in Korea before.

She made a lot of fools.

"Does Brother Hua have any expectations for the box office of "Eight Hundred"?"

Liu Dehua hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lu Chen, and said, "Two billion."

This expectation has been a lot.

Although Huaguo movies have developed well in this area, there are still no movies with a box office of 20 billion?
The way Andy Lau looked at Lu Chen before was captured by the host.

The host handed the microphone to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen smiled and took the microphone.

"Brother Hua is too conservative. I'm the director, so let me fire a cannon. 30 billion. Our movie has been aiming for [-] billion since the project was approved."

When Lu Chen said this, everyone was shocked.

I have to be surprised.

After all, at this stage, there are no movies with a domestic box office of 20 billion.

But Lu Chen is already hitting 30 billion.

However, after being surprised.

Everyone found that Lu Chen's big words were not necessarily all big words.

I haven't seen it before, everyone must think that Lu Chen is whimsical.

After watching.

Now everyone will be optimistic about "Eight Hundred".

When it comes time for guests to comment,
As a senior, the national teacher was the first to stand up.

The two chatted before at the Golden Rooster Awards.

We had a good chat.

Although Lu Chen's "Cohabitation Beyond Time and Space" clearly stepped on the top of the national teacher's "Three Guns".

But obviously.

The national teacher didn't take it to heart at all.

Moreover, the other party seemed to have inspired his fighting spirit even more because of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen could feel it.

The national teacher also wanted to tell him that Lu Chen was not old yet.

This is why Lu Chen didn't want to put "Eight Hundred" on the Lunar New Year file.

Although he has the certainty of victory.

But it is not necessary.

The box office space of "Eight Hundred" will definitely be compressed.

Think of Lu Chen here.

I can't help but send a blessing to the directors in the Lunar New Year file.

The national teacher who has watched "Eight Hundred" will definitely revise "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".

Lu Chen can be sure of this.

It can be heard from the words of the national teacher.

Zhang Yimou was a little bit emotional and envious: "Director Lu's progress is really too fast, and at a young age, Director Lu is already familiar with family and country feelings and big scene scheduling. He is definitely a master. From the director's level Speaking of which, Director Lu and I are on par, even worse."

Lu Chen didn't dare to answer those words.

However, he still accepted the words of the national teacher in his heart.

But this can only be said in the heart.

Of course, you still have to be humble.

"Director Zhang is over-reputed, and he has a specialization in art, and I'm just good at making such heavy movies." Lu Chen said.

Zhang Yimou waved his hand: "The "Cohabitation Beyond Time and Space" and "Initial D" you made are not such films. Director Lu has a bright future. We old guys have to work hard."

Several directors present felt the same way.

For example, Director Feng.

Lu Chen was taken aback by his comments: "Director Lu's "Eight Hundred" gave me a lot of inspiration..."

moment.

Lu Chen was taken aback.

Director Feng doesn't want to change the script, does he?

If "[-]" is really willing to revise, it can really become Director Feng's masterpiece.

In Lu Chen's view,
The reason why "[-]" failed to become Director Feng's masterpiece is very simple.

That means he only cares about himself.

Not only him, but the two presidents were also slightly taken aback.

He reminded Director Feng twice.

But Director Feng didn't listen and insisted on going his own way.

did not expect.

Coming to the premiere of "Eight Hundred" made Director Feng want to change.

All of a sudden, the two presidents looked at Lu Chen with gratitude.

Director Feng is to them.

so important.

It's so important that they can't object at all!
There is no way to object.

But is a movie good or not?
Everyone here is professional.

I know it in my heart.

"Eight Hundred" is definitely a masterpiece of this type of movie in recent years.

Even the best of the best.

After the "Eight Hundred" movie was released, the word-of-mouth of the movie also illustrates this point.

"Lu Chen, the ratings for the movie "Eight Hundred" are out, and the opening score is actually 8.5 points, 8.5 points."

A five-star hotel,
Liu Shishi, who was sitting in front of the computer reading movie reviews, shouted when he saw Lu Chen who had just come out of the shower.

After taking a look at his wife, Lu Chen calmly picked up the hair dryer and prepared to dry his hair.

"It's only 8.5 points, look at your appearance that has never seen the world."

"8.5 points...that's all... Lu Chen, you're pretending too much, your previous two movies are not as high as this one."

"The ratings after "Eight Hundred" will also drop. The film has just started filming, and the ratings are all true love, and passers-by and sunspots will flood in."

At this time, the navy has not yet become popular, and the trend of being organized to score high or low scores by the navy as soon as the movie is released has not yet fully formed.

So the current rating is relatively credible.

Of course, this does not mean that the current ratings on Douban.com are fair.

The biggest problem with Douban right now is its admiration of foreign countries. Foreign films score high marks with their eyes closed, while domestic films automatically lose one point.

Most of the Wenqing are petty bourgeoisie, and most of the petty bourgeoisie worship foreigners.

Although there are some map guns, this is a common phenomenon at this stage.

Those film critics are pointing fingers at domestic dramas.

For imported dramas.

The hype is blowing.

This is why Lu Chen doesn't like these film critics.

"You Who Came From The Stars" was praised in South Korea.

It is still a mess of criticism in China.

However, the audience is not blind.

The Internet is so developed.

Everyone can see the world with their eyes open, and gradually realize that those film critics are just bragging.

The whole world is in Bilan, and foreign countries are not as good as Huaguo in many places.

So, not only did Lu Chen hate these people,
A lot of viewers hate these guys too.

Finish drying your hair.

"Mr. Lu, was what you said at the premiere ceremony too arrogant?" Liu Shishi asked.

Lu Chen shook his head: "Believe me, the box office of "Eight Hundred" will only be higher."

"Then you are at a big loss..."

"will not."

Although the box office proceeds of "Eight Hundred" were donated by them.

But the potential benefits are definitely not small.

There are even some potential benefits that are hard to buy for that much money.

No matter how much they earn, the income of "Eight Hundred" basically has nothing to do with them.

However, Jiaxing Media is still unabated in terms of publicity.

The task Lu Chen assigned to the publicity and distribution department was to make the publicity of "Yao Hundred" grand and heavy. It must highlight the grand pattern of "Yao Hundred" and completely separate "Yao Hundred" from the previous blockbusters. Come.

Lu Chen just wanted to widen the gap with other domestic directors.

He just wanted to tell these people.

What makes a real blockbuster.

Although a bit offending.

But if you don't stimulate these directors, these directors will still continue to enjoy themselves.

I am cool.

It must be the audience who are upset.

Audiences don't like to watch.

It's no wonder that the audience is not good this time.

This is the status quo of most domestic directors.

About Lu Chen's thoughts.

Liu Shishi is quite understandable.

As for others, they may not quite understand.

Because it's kind of offending.

But Lu Chen insisted.

He also has the strength to deal with these.

"Mr. Lu, netizens' evaluation of this movie is not bad."

Lu Chen took the computer and looked at it.

""Eight Hundred", this is the real gift film."

"Blowing up "Eight Hundred", this is our blockbuster in Huaguo, and this is the blockbuster that audiences want to see."

"@张一思@冯小锋@陈凯歌, come out and get beaten up, what are those blockbuster movies you made? You are enjoying yourself, but you don’t want to make us happy. You only have that kind of pattern. Look at "Eight Hundred", see Let's see how Lu Chen made blockbuster movies."

"The general will have the heart of death, and the scholar will not be greedy for life. "Eight Hundred", a heroic and long song by the man of the Han family, I strongly recommend it."

……

Looking at all the good reviews and movie reviews, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth became more and more curved.

This is the effect he wants.

The previous domestic blockbusters were completely spoiled by a few big directors.

"Hero" has already been calculated.

After "Hero", "The Promise", "Night Banquet", "Red Cliff"...these so-called blockbusters became worse and worse.

Bad things are small problems.

The main reason is that it is rotten and does not admit it.

As a result, the audience began to be disappointed with domestic blockbuster movies. When they heard that it was a blockbuster movie, they directly chose to reject it.

To be reasonable, the audience cannot be blamed, because the historical movies made by these great directors are really bad.

The audience has eaten shit so many times in a row, do you still expect the audience not to have a long memory?
So what Lu Chen has to do is cut with these big directors, cut with the bad movies they made.

Lu Chen wants the audience to know that "Eight Hundred" is not a blockbuster movie.

"Eight Hundred" filmed the real history, the magnificent history.

There is no dog blood, no conspiracy, no ethics here, only the character of the Chinese people, the integrity of the warriors, and the cruel battlefield.

This is what war movies should look like in the minds of many viewers.

This is the kind of movie that Lu Chen wants to make.

Lu Chen doesn't like conspiracy,
There is no plan to rise to any position.

What he wanted to say was that period.

There is such a group of people who are safeguarding the integrity of the Chinese people.

In the cruel war.

They didn't hold back.

As it turned out, it worked.

The next day.

Lu Chen was awakened by Zeng Jia's phone call.

"Lu Chen, do you guess how much the premiere box office of "Eight Hundred" was?"

Through the phone screen, Lu Chen could also feel Zeng Jia's excitement.

Lu Chen was very calm: "Is there 3 million?"

Zeng Jia froze instantly: "Your heart is too big, what is the concept of 3 million? But although there is no 3 million, there are already 8000 million. 8000 million, Lu Chen, you know this Does it mean something?"

At the end, Zeng Jia became excited again.

Lu Chen also regained full consciousness at this moment.

"8000 million?"

"Yes, 8000 million." Zeng Jia answered in the affirmative.

Lu Chen also laughed when he heard the words: "Not bad, quite good, breaking the record, right?"

"Of course, a new record in domestic film history." Zeng Jia said: "Now the first day of Chinese film history and the highest single-day box office record are all our "Eight Hundred"."

This is a good start.

After the box office of 8000 million was released on the first day, the entire entertainment industry was shaken.

bright.

Boss Wang and Lisheng glanced at each other.

Boss Wang: "He really gave me enough surprises. Fortunately, "Painted Wall" was withdrawn to the Lunar New Year file, otherwise this will be cannon fodder."

Li Sheng nodded: "It's too fierce. I thought that the results of "Eight Hundred" would be very good, but I didn't expect it to be so good."

But it's normal to think about it.

During this time, Lu Chen has been on fire for so long.

After it was confirmed that Lu Chen would be the director of this tribute film, the audience expressed their expectations.

Extremely looking forward to it.

Besides, Lu Chen didn't disappoint them either.

Coupled with the box office appeal of the lineup of "Eight Hundred".

The box office of 8000 million on the first day seems to be justified.

This is a result that shocked the entire entertainment industry.

The chain reaction is very obvious. "Eight Hundred", which has the highest film scheduling rate, has increased by another five percentage points.

And it is foreseeable that the filming rate of "Eight Hundred" will be higher in the future.

The box office will naturally rise as well.

At this time, Lu Chen and the others had already entered the promotion period of the road show. When they came out of the hotel room to prepare for breakfast, there were people congratulating Lu Chen along the way.

Andy Lau: "Director Lu, 8000 million, 8000 million, you are amazing."

Zhang Yi: "Director Lu, next time you have a movie, you must remember to call me. I don't need a salary, and I will be there whenever you are called."

Li Chen: "Director Lu, the box office has broken records, do we have any red envelopes?"

Lu Chen answered decisively: "No."

All the box office proceeds are donated, where can I get the red envelopes for them?
Post your own money,

That is impossible.

Lu Chen's voice fell, and then everyone reacted instantly,
They all gave Lu Chen a thumbs up.

"The director is awesome."

Everyone sighed.

Sitting next to Lu Chen, Huang Xiaoming asked Lu Chen while having breakfast, "Director Lu, can our movie really break 30 billion?"

Lu Chen nodded: "As long as there are no major problems with word-of-mouth, it should be about the same."

Huang Xiaoming's smile was very real: "That would be great."

Don't look at the relationship between Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun is good.

In fact, he also wants to prove himself in the film industry.

The results of "Painted Skin 1" are very good.

Now "Painted Skin 2" is coming.

Don't try harder.

He was left behind by Chen Kun.

This is probably the reason why he lowered his head to find Zeng Jia and wanted to join "Eight Hundred".

But Lu Chen took a look at Huang Xiaoming, and thought that even if "Eight Hundred" hit the box office, it doesn't seem to have much to do with you.

The one who benefited the most was of course Lu Chen.

Or is he crazy?

Followed by Andy Lau.

The others are actually not particularly brilliant.

Of course, points will not be deducted.

"Eight Hundred" is actually very similar to another big hit movie "OPERATION RED SEA" later on. In group portrait movies, the main characters are hard to shine. The focus of the movie is on the war scenes. rather than actors.

Lu Chen didn't shoot like this on purpose, but this kind of movie actually has to be shot like this.

So it's no problem for these actors to rely on the movie "Eight Hundred" to check their qualifications and qualifications, but if they want to make a big hit with this movie, they are completely overthinking.

Andy Lau still has a little hope, the roles of other people are too few on average.

The highlight of the movie is the transformation of small characters, and it's not just a certain character.

During the interview on the road show, an audience member also asked Lu Chen this question.

The audience asked this way: "Director Lu, many directors in our country like to see the big from the small when making historical films, and you seem to be no exception. However, the difference between you and other directors is that your "Eight Hundred" seems to be different. It is completely different from other directors, can you tell us more about it?"

Lu Chen took the microphone, organized his words, and said bluntly: "I don't like to shoot plots, but to shoot some very delicate private desires. What I prefer is to give these little people a strong appeal, especially in "Eight "Bai" among such movies.

"Maybe audiences don't watch blockbuster movies because of little people. What attract audiences is always heroes, the vicissitudes of the great era, and those who walk in the long river of history. However, when these little people are endowed with infectious power Afterwards, they will also become heroes, unyielding heroes in the grand world."

After Lu Chen's remarks were exposed, they immediately caused a lot of discussion in the outside world.

These remarks undoubtedly slapped many directors in the face,

What does it mean that they like to shoot plots and some very delicate private lusts?
Although unhappy,

But I saw countless netizens on the Internet supporting Lu Chen.

They can only keep their unhappiness in their hearts.

Now that it's being screened, the people who support Lu Chen are of course in the majority.

Especially after "Eight Hundred" got a box office of 8000 million on the first day.

The movie-watching craze exploded immediately.

Word of mouth also exploded.

Although many directors feel offended.

But never dare to jump out.

According to this rhythm,

The 30 billion mentioned by Lu Chen is not impossible.

The box office of 30 billion can suppress all opposition voices.

You can't accept it.

Of course, there are also brain-dead ones, and these directors haven't jumped out yet.

Their advocates jumped out.

Take the initiative to shoot: "Some young people are lucky enough to have some achievements, but they don't know the heights of heaven and earth. Lu Chen is just a junior. Young people don't know how to be humble, so they are destined to not go far."

Obviously, someone must have instructed it.

However, Lu Chen was too lazy to talk to him,

These people are not qualified to talk to him, unless the director personally exits.

Of course, there is also a group of people who fear that the world will not be chaotic.

He ran to ask Lu Chen what he thought of this problem.

Lu Chen was also not polite, and said bluntly: "The box office can explain everything. In my opinion, the movies that the audience doesn't like are basically to feel good about themselves."

Finally, Lu Chen added.

"Their way is not suitable for me, and I will not follow their old way. My goal is the sea of ​​stars, not a stream by the side of the road."

Lu Chen was so rude that Zeng Jia was taken aback.

"Lu Chen, why are you talking so directly?" Zeng Jia said, "It's too offensive."

Lu Chen shook his head: "If you don't force these directors, they won't change,"

Lu Chen also wanted to do something for domestic films.

Zeng Jia shook her head, but she didn't refute, she just said: "If they trip you up, you will be in trouble."

Trouble?
Lu Chen wasn't afraid of trouble at all at this time.
Again,
As long as the box office of "Eight Hundred" exceeds 30 billion, they have no right to trouble him.

They should be the ones who are afraid of being troubled.

Not Lu Chen.

Of course, the premise is that the box office of "Eight Hundred" can exceed 30 billion.

Everyone is watching.

Wait and see the box office of "Eight Hundred".

And the box office of the following "Eight Hundred" directly made most people in the industry feel cold.

The box office has been soaring all the way, and the trend is also terrifying.

Five days later, the box office exceeded 5 billion.

In 10 days, the box office exceeded 20 billion.

In 20 days, the box office exceeded 30 billion.

A month later.

The box office of "Eight Hundred" officially exceeded 35 billion, becoming the first Chinese film with a box office of over 30 billion.

The Chinese film industry was shocked.

Huaying held a grand celebration banquet for this.

In 2011, Lu Chen stood out.

Naturally, the status has also risen with the tide.
