Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 220 221. Out in advance 【Subscription】

be honest.

It is a pity that "Eight Hundred" has a box office of 38.6 billion.

Although Lu Chen and the others don't make money.

But Zeng Jia still wanted to increase the box office a bit.

Mention 40 billion.

If you switch to other directors, you may not mind using some means.

Even if it looks like it will cost them a lot of money.

But for the record.

Zeng Jia and Jiang Yu all thought it was worth it.

However, Lu Chen felt it wasn't worth it.

40 billion only,

There will be opportunities later.

At this time, if you do it, you have no intention of leaving a handle.

was caught by others.

Reputation can stink.

you could put it that way.

In the entire entertainment industry, there is no director with a better reputation than Lu Chen.

So.

Lu Chen felt it wasn't worth it.
The feathers on the body still need to be cherished.

In the previous life, "Monster Hunt" had such a bad reputation in the future, and a large part of the reason was because of the box office.

Change to another director.

Maybe Lu Chen's box-office moral cleanliness is a no-brainer.

But for Lu Chen.

40 billion only.

He didn't just make one "Eight Hundred".

Moreover, this is already the limit of "Eight Hundred".

This is the total box office after going to the bakery.

To be a man is to be content.

Go to the bakery to watch "Eight Hundred".

Other directors in the outside world can only envy.

This kind of thing is reasonable and reasonable. The things you shoot are good, the attitude is good, and the content is in line with the policy.

There will be rewards for sure.

Lu Chen is not the first one like this.

However, there are really few films that can be rewarded actively by the above.

It's an honor.

No one dared to say anything.

Even if you are not convinced, you can still make a good movie.

Generally, popular movies and blockbuster movies with the main theme are basically treated by the government.

However, there are only a few directors who can enjoy it.

Lu Chen enjoyed it this time.

The revised "Eight Hundred" is for the government.

In addition to its own historical theme, it expresses the values ​​​​that this movie wants to express.

This is what Zeng Jia told Lu Chen: "Director Zhao said that the core values ​​of "Eight Hundred" are handled very well, and the higher-ups like it very much. If you still have a good script, you can make another one. Next year's gift film will be the same. Leave it to us."

Lu Chen shook his head and refused.

It's not that I don't want to shoot, but it's unnecessary.

Making a film like this, to be honest, is exhausting.

Although he continues to shoot, it will be much easier than before.

But Lu Chen still decided not to touch such movies for the past two years.

Give the director a chance.

In addition to this wave, he was full and had to digest it no matter what.

Consolidate.

Therefore, Lu Chen refused.

For Lu Chen's rejection.

Zeng Jia didn't think it was too pity, he thought the same as Lu Chen,
Such a movie is not easy to touch.

What Lu Chen said before was right, you can't get too full with such a movie.

It's easy to get into trouble.

Besides, with Lu Chen's demonstration this time, other domestic directors should also know how to shoot.

Where to put the heavy feeling and family and country feelings.

The plot seems almost acceptable.

……

"That's it. Let's give up next year's gift film. Sometimes it's easy to eat too much. Next, we will put more energy on "Shark Beach" and strive for a wave of blood."

Lu Chen is also very confident in "Shark Beach".

After all, there is the bonus of "Eight Hundred".

But Zeng Jia and Jiang Yu were not as calm as Lu Chen.

Seeing Lu Chen's confident appearance, Zeng Jia couldn't help but reminded: "This time, you are officially confronting the national teacher and the others. It is not as cheap as last time."

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows: "I know."

"Knowing that you are still so calm?"

Both Zeng Jia and Jiang Yu were incredulous.

"Sooner or later, it will be the same, sooner or later."

Lu Chen wanted to challenge for the No.1 position of the domestic director, so of course the National Teacher and the others would not let Lu Chen take it so easily.

Usually pick up the leak and win.

That position is also unstable.

The audience won't admit it either.

Therefore, these old gods will only submit when they win face to face.

The audience will recognize him.

Lu Chen had no reason to hide, and the national teacher had no reason to run away either.

This duel not only attracted the attention of the industry,

Even ordinary netizens have noticed the smoke of gunpowder in the Lunar New Year stalls.

The major domestic media are not stupid either.

All kinds of related news are freshly released.

[Lu Chen VS Zhang Yimou, Old Monster Xu. 】

[The young generation in China formally challenges the old gods, and in the end who will win. 】

[The Lunar New Year holiday has not yet arrived, and the war has already started ahead of schedule. 】

[Guoshi brought the new movie "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" as a guest on this show: "This will be a movie that makes the audience unable to empathize."]

[The old gods and the new gods officially confront each other? 】

Every time the schedules of big-name directors collide in China, it will trigger this similar news effect.

This can be said to be the norm in the Chinese media circle, and netizens are also willing to participate in this kind of competition and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of all parties.

In order to come out on top,

It can be said that all three parties are firing on all cylinders.

As early as half a month ago, "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" had started a high-profile publicity tour across the country.

Old Monster Xu was originally one of the few influential directors in Huaguo.

but.

His peak period has to be regressed by more than ten years.

Lu Chen's evaluation of him is: a visual master who walks between business and art.

In the world of directors, it can be said that he is a ghost. He has a powerful and unconstrained thinking, and can often bring a different viewing experience to the audience. For example, "A Hero" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are all classics in everyone's mind. .

It can be said that the strength of Old Freak Xu does not need to be numerous.

In addition, several actors selected in "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" are all first-line stars.

Li Lianjie, Zhou Xun, and Chen Kun don't need to be numerous.

Li Yuchun, Gui Meilun and Fan Xiaoxuan are not bad either.

Therefore, it caused quite a stir, in the surveys of some magazines.

The expectation index of the movie "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" has remained high.

Old Monster Xu personally led the team,
Needless to say, the effect of publicity.

Nature is very good.

In contrast, the "Jinling Thirteen Beauties" by the National Teacher is somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of publicity.

It seems that the publicity of Guoshi's first film is very average,
It may also be that the National Teacher is the biggest publicity sign.

Where is this sign.

No publicity at all.

"Director Lu."

After announcing the news that "Shark Beach" will be released on November 11 through the official Weibo.

Zeng Jia brought a piece of information to Lu Chen: "This is the movie introduction of "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" and "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling". It should be announced tonight. I got it from a friend."

Lu Chen couldn't laugh or cry when he took the information.

In other words, Zeng Jia didn't know.

Speaking of these two movies, apart from Guo Shi and Old Freak Xu, no one in this world is more familiar with them than him.

However, Lu Chen did not refuse.

This is his secret.

How could it be so easy to tell others,

received data.

Bowing his head and casually glanced twice, his expression immediately changed drastically.

past life.

The biggest criticism of "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" is that it only focuses on 3D special effects.

Besides the special effects, Old Freak Xu handed in a failing answer sheet.

Simply put, the script has no core;
There is one key mission missing for the characters to do anything in the story.

Without key tasks, the character's actions lack the necessary motivation.

Not only that.

Mr. Xu also added many story lines in the movie.

Too many storylines appearing at the same time,

Definitely disrupts the main storyline.

This eventually led to "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" having the shell of a martial arts story, but without a clear dramatic conflict;
It has the shape of a martial arts character, but it does not give the character the character and stance it deserves.

These flaws lead to many problems in the film.

For example, the opening narration introduces that the functions of East and West Factory are basically the same.

Basically, it's all about searching for evidence, investigating and prosecuting, making accusations, and setting up prisons repeatedly, but it's repeated twice.

The difference between the two explanations seems to be that "Xichang is the secret agent of Ouchi".

And this information basically means nothing to the film.

Besides.

"Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" still has many problems.

For example, how did Zhao Huai'an jump on a warship speeding across lakes and rivers?

Yuhuatian's warship has a deep draft, so it must sail in vast lakes and rivers.Zhao Huaian was able to jump onto Yuhuatian's warship with his two partners without taking a small boat or stepping on a plank, which is incredible.

And Zhao Huaian had seen Fengli Dao before, why didn't he respond when he first saw Yuhuatian who looked the same as Fengli Dao?Surprised that Yuhuatian looks like Feng Lidao, which makes Zhao Huaian's character seem pale and unreal.

The looks of Yuhuatian and Fenglidao can be confused with real ones, Zhao Huaian recognizes Fenglidao's appearance but not Yuhuatian's, it is really unreasonable.

Zhao Huai'an, who killed the governor of the East Factory without cross-dressing, why didn't the spy agency West Factory even have his portrait and other information?Could it be that Zhao Huaian killed all the people present at that time?
As a spy agency, Xichang should at least know Zhao Huaian's appearance and martial arts characteristics, right?

But in the movie, from Xichang to Yuhuatian and down to ordinary soldiers, they couldn’t tell whether Zhao Huaian was real or not. But when Xichang Ma Jinliang presented the monument to the governor, he even remembered the shoes Zhao Huaian wore very clearly (he was a porter Wearing Zhao Huaian's shoes and killing the porter).

……

In short, if there are any shortcomings in "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate", Lu Chen can name more than 30 of them.

It's normal for movies to have flaws.

But there are too many shortcomings, which is a bit abnormal.

……

What surprised Lu Chen was that Old Monster Xu simplified the story line in "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate".

Is this the discovery of a flaw in "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate"?
Lu Chen shook his head slightly.

It can be changed in such a short time.

It seems that these directors also know where their problems lie?
……

Continue reading, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".

At this time, the national teacher has a problem,
For the Oscar.

I like to misrepresent the story of nuts saving Chinese people.

This kind of movie, not to mention Lu Chen, not many ordinary audiences like to watch it.

China's thousands of years of history did not allow them to read such stories.

This problem of the National Teacher has not been corrected until the "Great Wall" hit the street completely,
He changed his mind.

Seriously started filming,
"Cliff", "Sniper" are very good.

Closer to home.

Back to "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".

A movie must first have a good story.

First of all, let's not talk about whether "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is a good story.

As long as the national teacher continues to choose to let an ugly funeral worker come to Huaguo to act as a priest, this will doom the failure of this movie.

How funny!

If this point has not been changed, this movie is destined to not get a good reputation.

Lu Chen didn't dare to say the box office.

Not good either.

But he can still predict things like word of mouth.

Why is the recent film made by the National Teacher so thunderous and rainy?In fact, the reason is very simple:
The first point is that he became famous because of a few good scripts. After that, he didn't pay attention to literary accomplishment, and he didn't have a good grasp of the script's literature. He could only listen to a few low-level staff. He became a literary puppet.

The second is that the National Teacher wants to win an Oscar too much.

I always like to cater to the ugly people and cause the story to be deformed.

This is also the point that Lu Chen doesn't like the national teacher very much.

The national teacher is awesome.

Lu Chen also admitted this,
But being awesome doesn't mean he wants to flatter the national teacher.

Same as Kung Fu Emperor.

Lu Chen also admitted that he was awesome, but wanted Lu Chen to regard him as an idol.

That is impossible.

However, "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" is easy to change, but "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is not easy to change.

And it seems that the national teacher has no plans to change.

After reading the introduction of "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

Lu Chen roughly made a decision.

The loser in the Lunar New Year file is most likely the National Teacher.

The story has been streamlined a lot, and the character and standpoint of the characters are well endowed.

but.

The fatal wound of the Ugly Chinese has not changed.

The existence of this point, even if the national teacher had the upper hand in the early stage, the word-of-mouth fermentation in the later stage could drown the national teacher.

After reading the short introduction in hand.

Lu Chen turned to look at Zeng Jia: "Sister Jia, what do you think of these two films?"

"I feel that the national teacher is going to be cold."

Zeng Jia straightened her hair: "After watching your "Eight Hundred" and watching this movie by the National Teacher, it will definitely make people feel uncomfortable. However, some people in the industry who have watched the finished film seem to have good evaluations. I feel that "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is more impressive than "Eight Hundred"!"

"Thick?" Lu Chen was stunned when he heard this word!
"Yes!" Zeng Jia nodded.

"It seems that we have only one opponent." Lu Chen said with certainty.

to be frank.

When he knew that the national teacher was changing the drama, he was quite happy.
Now see this result.

Lu Chen found it funny.

He seemed to have too high expectations of the national teacher.

In this case.

For the entire schedule, he had only one opponent.

"Dragon Fly".

In Lu Chen's eyes, the National Teacher's "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" has been completely out of the game ahead of schedule.

"I hope this time I can completely wake up the national teacher."

Lu Chen sighed.

"only one……"

When Zeng Jia heard Lu Chen's words, she was also slightly stunned: "Then should we bring up our propaganda? We don't have much time left."

"It's useless, they have too many big names, who do you think Yang Mi can beat?"

"This……"

Zeng Jia didn't know what to do for a while.

The lineup of "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" is too luxurious.

And "Shark Beach" only has Yang Mi.

Put it in the TV circle.

It's still a little deterrent, but if it's in the movie circle.

It's no different than a rookie.

Their star lineup is so luxurious,
They also built momentum in advance, and the crew worked tirelessly to publicize it nationwide.

Among them, the Kung Fu Emperor also went together.

There is a feeling of wanting to wash away the shame.

"It's really a strong enemy."

A gleam of light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, not only did he not feel annoyed because he was about to meet a strong enemy.

Instead, I looked forward to the next collision in my heart.

Although the opponent worked hard, he was still on par with him.

Nowhere to be strong.

"Just keep it warm."

Lu Chen said: "Where is our enthusiasm, the natural advantage."

"Understood." Zeng Jia also knew that continuing to promote would not achieve better results.

Where does Yang Mi's appeal lie?

natural disadvantage.

The advantage of "Shark Shore" lies in Lu Chen, and "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" is so hard to promote.

It is also this gap that I want to make up for.

therefore.

Lu Chen decided to give them a chance to compete fairly.

Under the circumstances of equal heat.

The final result of the two films is to fight for quality.

Whoever has good quality will have the last laugh.

of course.

Also fight for celebrity appeal.

However, the Kung Fu Emperor was just pulled down from the altar by Lu Chen.

Let the moisture in the box office appeal become a little bigger.

Lu Chen couldn't say well either.

If calculated according to the previous words.

The star lineup of "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" is definitely worth two small goals.

And the words of "Shark Beach".

Yang Mi is worth 2000 million at most.

"Palace" has ended for more than half a year,
The heat has also gone down.

2000 million is already high.

According to Zeng Jia's idea, "Shark Beach" is scheduled to be released at the beginning of this year.

But it was rejected by Lu Chen.

Procrastinated to the present words.

Lu Chen's appeal has increased, but as for Yang Mi, can he maintain it?

Still an unknown.

……

For the next time, although Yang Mi's appeal is limited.

But Zeng Jia still tried her best to torture Yang Mi.

Basically all the major domestic variety shows that can be named.

In Lu Chen's opinion.

Zeng Jia is torturing artists.

However, in Yang Mi's opinion.

It's still Jiajie who treats her well.

Artists are not afraid of lack of time, they are afraid of having time.

The less time there is, the more it proves that this artist is very popular.

Whether an artist is popular or not,

Find out if he has free time.

Obviously, Yang Mi has no spare time during this time.

One person carried the banner of propaganda.

For the publicity of other crews, there are several people on the stage together.

Just her.

Alone.

no way.

Lu Chen has never been on variety shows.

Only she can come by herself.

In addition, she is the only starring role in this movie, so there is no chance for others to help her share it.

you could put it that way.

The success of "Eight Hundred" fulfilled Lu Chen's words.

That "Shark Beach" success.

Yang Mi will definitely succeed.

Just succeed.

She is Lu Chen among actors.

The appeal of the box office is close to those at the top.

Based on.

Knowing that she was about to become an international movie star, Yang Mi went all out during this period.

Desperate Sanniang is officially launched.

All available means have been used.

She called all the celebrities she knew and invited them to help.

Including Liu Shishi and Tang Lei, they all recorded videos to help her promote.

Although Lu Chen doesn't participate in variety shows.

But it's okay to be interviewed.

The team of "My Platinum Era" came to Jiaxing Media again.

Although the ratings and influence of talk shows are not as good as other shows.

But the guests invited are all the most discussed stars at the moment.

Therefore, the ratings and influence are not so bad.

The guest of this issue is Lu Chen.

therefore,

The attention of this issue of "My Platinum Age" is destined not to be too small.
