Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 243 244. Crazy advertising placement 【Subscription】

Before that, Lu Chen had the urge to choose these two.

It's just that I couldn't convince myself for a while.

it's good now.

Both want to fight for this opportunity!

Not to mention sincerity, at least it gave Lu Chen a reason to choose them.

The reason Chen Fang found for himself was.

"I want to learn acting."

The reason was ridiculous, but Lu Chen still decided to give him this opportunity.

The role of Hobbs suits him well.

"Many people scolded me on the Internet..." Chen Fang, a strong man, did not stammer like Dai Ying.

After all, I have seen the world.

"I also know that I really can't act well, but I want to act in a movie to prove myself..."

Lu Chen was speechless,

At your level, how do you want to prove yourself?

Directors are not omnipotent.
He can train actors, but the premise is that the actors themselves have to have a foundation!
No foundation, what a fart to teach.

However, it is difficult to find an actor like him in the circle.

Lu Chen still endured the headache and said: "The role of Hobbs is for you. As far as the role is concerned, it is difficult to find a more suitable one in China. Also, your acting skills really give us a headache. Go back and do more. A few basic acting training classes."

"Okay!" Unbelievable surprise appeared on the strong man's face.

Looking at Lu Chen in disbelief, he immediately thanked him, "Thank you Director Lu."

You see, this is a qualified artist.

Unlike Dai Ying, who still has to be coy, delay it.

Lu Chen shook his head helplessly: "My requirements will be very strict."

That is for sure,
At this level, if you are not strict, you can't do it.

He also believed in his abilities.

Even in poor actors, he can also bring out the shining side.

of course,

The premise of this is that the actors have to cooperate.

Since both Dai Ying and Chen Fang have left a deep impression on him, and their attitudes seem to be good.

It doesn't seem like a big deal for him to play Boss Tang and Hobbs twice.

Well, this is a very big deal.

It was so big that the entire entertainment industry couldn't believe it, and they all thought that Lu Chen was crazy.

Many Jiaxing media employees, including Zeng Jia, felt extremely confused.

"Director Lu, I won't say anything about Dai Ying, this Chen Fang doesn't seem right?"

Zeng Jia stared at Lu Chen and spoke with some difficulty.

The others also turned their attention to Lu Chen. When Lu Chen agreed to Dai Ying, they were still there.

They want to know, too, after they're gone.

What exactly happened made Lu Chen agree to Chen Fang.

Lu Chen didn't explain too much, just said: "The matter has been decided, and the crew will start preparations."

"Ok."

Everyone responded, and then Jiang Yu came over and said seriously: "Is it true to use Chen Fang?"

In Jiang Yu's view.

No matter how you look at it, it's not Chen Fang's turn.

Such as popularity.

Lu Chen's drama no longer needs celebrity popularity to carry the box office.

This is the status of a powerful director.

In Jiang Yu's view, other actors can be used.

There are indeed very few actors with Chen Fang's body type, but it's not impossible to find them.

There are quite a few here today.

Compared with Chen Fang, the acting skills of the others are remarkable.

"The most terrible thing is acting."

Xie Han reminded: "He has no acting skills at all, and his understanding of acting skills is still at the most superficial level..."

"Who is our Director Lu?" Yu Long said with a smile.

"I'm not optimistic about Director Lu this time." Xie Han said without hesitation.

"Director Lu is able to train newcomers, whether it's Yang Mi, Tang Lei or Liu Shishi, it can be said that Director Lu's training ability is one of the best in the circle. They all have a foundation, and this kind of person has no foundation! I I don't think Director Lu can teach him."

"That's true..." Yu Long seemed convinced, "However, I still believe in Director Lu."

After a pause, Yu Long continued: "Choose a protagonist that no one can think of, and train a strong man who doesn't have any background as an actor. People in the circle must think that Director Lu is crazy."

Jiang Yu smiled and said: "If Lu Chen is really trained, wouldn't it be a great show of our director Lu's ability."

Lu Chen also smiled.

Listening to the teasing of the three, Lu Chen felt a little helpless.

conceivably.

None of the three believed him, let alone the others.

On the other side, after Zeng Jia released the news about Lu Chenque's actor.

The outside world has been paying attention to Lu Chen's movie.

Especially in the industry, after the audition, they are even more curious.

Who did Lu Chen choose to be the number one male?

"It should be Xi Yong. There are not many actors who meet the requirements of Lu Chen's male lead. Xi Yong's success rate should be the highest..."

"It could also be Sun Xuan. Among the strong men, this big brother's acting skills are pretty good. Of course, he can't compare with others."

"I can't figure it out, isn't it a drag racing movie? Why is the male lead in Lu Chen's movie required to be a strong man, and he's still that heavyweight."

"I'm so curious!"

"Speaking of strong men, I suddenly thought of one."

"Hahaha, Chen Fang lies down."

"This is interesting. I heard that Chen Fang went to the audition. Before he went, he must not have done a good job of Baidu who is Lu Chen, or his manager didn't tell him about Lu Chen's resume..."

"By the way, although I don't dislike people like them coming to the entertainment industry to grab food, they must have that ability, right?"

"It's just... using my spare time to challenge other people's majors. I really don't know what they think. It's fine to go to variety shows in normal times. I didn't expect such a head to tell me to enter the film industry."

"that is……"

"It is said that Chen Fang came out in less than 3 minutes after the audition."

"What's so strange, although Director Lu doesn't value the actor's fame, he does value the actor's strength! With Chen Fang's level, being able to last for 3 minutes is enough for Director Lu."

"That's right..."

……

When the outside world was discussing, Jiaxing Media announced the name of Lu Chen's movie.

However, when everyone sees the name "Fast and Furious 1".

The first reaction of many in the industry is to...

Is it that straightforward?

The name doesn't seem to have as much meaning as "Initial D".

Jiaxing Media's official Weibo also didn't explain it!

If you have to explain it so bluntly, how can you look down on this audience.

However, this has sparked a lot of discussion.

After all, this theme was created by Lu Chen.

Now Lu Chen is back again.

Not to mention.

"Director Lu's straightforwardness this time suddenly surprised me."

"As the most unpredictable person in the country, Lu Chen has never been constrained by the subject matter. Sometimes he will be funny with you, and sometimes he will arouse patriotic feelings in you. This will even start a battle with the great white shark..."

"His movies are all over the place."

"This time, Lu Chen returns to the subject of traffic jams... I don't know what kind of surprise Director Lu will give us."

There is a deep-rooted obsession called "Fast and Furious."

This is the obsession of many netizens in the previous life,
"Fast and Furious", for the audience in the previous life, it can be said that it is an all-too-familiar film and television title.

It's the highest-grossing movie in the world in the traffic jam category.

It is called fast abroad, which is also its original name.

Besides that, he has a foreign name.

It's called Fast and Furious.

In the mouths of foreign Chinese, they prefer to call it -fast directly.

"Fast and Furious" can be said to be a world-renowned achievement.

Whether men, women, young or old, boys, girls, men or women, there are very few people who have never heard of the words "Fast and Furious".

Even to those who aren't very interested in such movies, the movie "Fast and the Furious" is a grand and spectacular display of luxury cars.

From 2001 to 2021.

In 20 years, we can't tell what the whole world has gone through, but this movie has gone through the whole world.

you could put it that way.

Each one is an audio-visual feast and emotional shock
A total of 10 parts.

The starring team has not changed.

The soul of Fast and Furious - Van ... and Paul ... as the first star.

Although each part is run through by cars, the plot is really grand.

The plot shows family, friendship, and love, including religious beliefs.

Just like the theme of the first film is to combat illegal racing, the specific central ideas to be displayed in each film are different.

Lu Chen had seen such an interview before.

Randomly grab someone on the street to interview.

When asked if "Fast 9" was released, would you watch it right away, many people answered without thinking: "Yes".

"Fast and Furious" also accompanied Lu Chen's entire student days in his previous life.

It runs through Lu Chen's life.

Although Lu Chen was only eight years old when the first film was released, since junior high school, after he came into contact with this film.

It seemed to be implanted in his life and never left.

It can be said that it is poisoned.

……

After the movie's name was announced, Jiaxing Media's official Weibo also attached a cast list.

Among them, Tang Lei, Yang Mi and Shen Teng are naturally among them.

Whether it is familiar to netizens or not, when they see that the leading actor of an actor is Dai Ying.

The whole network was shocked.

When he saw Chen Fang among the actors, he was even more stunned.

"What's the situation? In Lu Chen's new movie, the leading actor is Dai Ying."

"What are you doing? You actually asked me, Tang, to act as Dai Ying's partner. What did Director Lu think?"

"Director Lu, who claims to have high requirements for acting skills, actually chose Chen Fang? Is there no one in the entertainment industry?"

"What is certain is that today is not April Fool's Day."

"Director Lu is floating?"

The audience would not lose confidence in Lu Chen just because of the name Chen Fang.

However, thinking of the fear of being dominated by Chen Fang in the movie theater before.

Many viewers couldn't help but sweat for Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen wants to use Chen Fang?"

At Guangxian Media, Boss Wang who heard the news smiled slightly: "Lu Chen is really courageous, do you think he is too conceited?"

"I don't know, but I still like him."

The assistant on the side said.

Boss Wang nodded: "Yes, even if he chooses someone like Chen Fang, I still believe in him. Don't you think it's a bit funny?"

"In my opinion, Lu Chen should not be the kind of person who sacrifices money for profit. There must be his reasons for choosing Chen Fang. I think the biggest possibility is that Chen Fang is very suitable for the character he created. He made a trade-off..."

……

About these online.

Lu Chen didn't care. What he cares more about now is the sponsorship of this movie...

With the previous "Initial D", Lu Chen's movie is a business opportunity for the car company.

After seeing this business opportunity, many automobile companies.

They all applied to their bosses.

After the boss has seen it.

The application was also quickly approved.

Then the heads of the major automobile companies rushed to Jiaxing Media with their secretaries.

Without exception.

Competitors of several major automobile companies have all appeared in Jiaxing Media.

Everyone has competed for so many years, and they are very familiar with each other.

However, encountering it at Jiaxing Media is always a bit painful.

Besides.

The negotiators of several car dealers also found several unknown people in Jiaxing Media.

That's not right, it should be said that some of them know and some don't.

For example, the person in charge of Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin.

"Are you so optimistic about Lu Chen?..."

The negotiators of several major automobile companies were slightly stunned.

At this time, Zeng Jia and Lu Chen walked into the conference room together, Zeng Jia had a bright smile on his face: "Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, and I'm glad to meet you all."

When several people saw Zeng Jia, their hearts twitched.

Then I saw Lu Chen.

They always knew that Lu Chen was very young, but after seeing the real person up close, they realized that they still underestimated.

Plus, Lu Chen looked kind on the outside.

All of a sudden, a few people suddenly became friends.

After talking for a few words, we officially entered the topic.

"In order to ensure everyone's confidence in "Fast and Furious", I can disclose some key information here, but we need everyone to keep it secret."

This is for sure. If you want the other party to invest in your own movie, you must show the other party your own script.

Investors invest in movies.

The first thing to look at is also a typical theme.

A good theme is the first step to a successful film investment. According to the current market reflection, "drag racing movies" are more popular.

Well, the most important thing is Director Lu Chen.

The second thing to look at is the actors.

However, this is somewhat inaccurate, especially in China.

Many people have a misunderstanding.

It is wrong to think that the movies played by actors who determine traffic will definitely sell well at the box office, while non-famous actors will lose money.

At this stage, the main factor that determines the box office of a movie has shifted from superstars to scripts.

The "Legend of the White Snake" by the Kung Fu Emperor just now is the best example.

Besides.

In the previous life, "Detective Pu Songling" Jackie Chan, together with first-line stars, only sold 1.7 million at the box office, and the principal was not recovered.

Then there's the production team.

The production team is also a very important part of a movie. The actors are determined and the theme is selected, it depends on the strength of the production team. If the production team does not have enough experience, no matter how good the theme is, only Could be a bad movie.

Lu Chen's team has nothing to say about this.

The undefeated god of war.

Finally, it was announced.

Whether the publicity can be done well has a lot to do with the box office of this movie. If the early publicity is done well, the more people who know about it, the wider the influence will be. The most important guarantee of the box office.

Lu Chen's "Fast and Furious 1" can also guarantee this point, with Guangxian Media and Huaying covering it.

There is nothing to say in terms of announcements.

In addition to these points, there is actually one more point.

It is also a more important point.

That's the cost.

This is also the first consideration of investment companies.

It can be said that they will pay more attention to the cost. The cost determines the box office demand. The low-cost risk is relatively low, while the high-cost production is relatively sophisticated. Each has its own advantages, but the only difference is that once it makes money, low-cost movies Much higher profit than high cost.

And Lu Chen's movies are generally small and big.

The ability to make money is unmatched by directors in the circle.

Therefore, these investment companies basically didn't think much about it.

Therefore, after everyone signed a confidentiality agreement.

Lu Chen began to reveal some of the essence of this movie to everyone: "The total investment of this movie will reach 6 million." After a pause, Lu Chen continued: "It may even be higher."

Lu Chen just finished speaking.

The people present were dumbfounded.

Have domestic films ever had such a high cost?

Absolutely not.

Therefore, after a few people came to their senses, they all looked at Lu Chen's young face.

It seemed that he hoped to hear something like "I'm making a joke for everyone" from Lu Chen's mouth.

but.

Everyone is doomed to be disappointed.

Lu Chen smiled confidently.

Immediately afterwards, he said a lot of eloquence.

In the end, I selectively briefly talked about the plot of chasing safes on the street, which brightened the eyes of the people present.

According to this idea, this movie has broken away from those small car racing competitions, and has begun to aim at a comprehensive movie with a larger background, and it can also be perfectly integrated with racing cars.

"The reason why I have to spend such a large investment is because I want to make it into a Hollywood-level movie. My preparation is to hit the movie market in Beijing, Europe, and even the world. In terms of special effects, I don't think it will Less than 2 million."

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he looked at these people with a smile.

Bright eyes.

Everyone couldn't help being tempted by Lu Chen's words.

But the heartbeat is the heartbeat, but everyone has not been fooled by Lu Chen and lost their minds.

The cost is 6 million.

Movies like this, they want to get advertising dollars.

Absolutely bleeding.

Next, it's time to negotiate.

Lu Chen is in charge of negotiating with the car company.

And Zeng Jia negotiated with those luxury advertisers one by one.

After the third day, Jiaxing Media formally signed a placement agreement with GM, Volkswagen, and BMW respectively.

A total of 8000 million advertising funds were invested.

At the same time responsible for providing 8 new sports cars.

In addition, dozens of other scrapped cars will be provided for the production of scene special effects.

Of course, there are additional conditions, Lu Chen's guaranteed box office.

The most important thing is to guarantee the box office abroad.

In this regard, Lu Chen has no pressure.

After the news came out,

Lu Chen once again shocked the entire entertainment circle.

People in the industry were dumbfounded.

Is Lu Chen crazy?The cost is so high.

Calculated on the basis of three times the box office to recover the cost, that is to say, "Fast and Furious 1" has to reach a box office close to 20 billion to recover the cost.

20 billion box office!

is it possible?
Of course it was possible, because that was Lu Chen.

However, if you want to make money and reap the benefits of those movies that Lu Chen made before,
It should be impossible.

but.

Lu Chen's madness still irritated many people.

There are even many peers.

Including the national teacher, Director Feng...etc.

The same powerful director.

They absolutely believe it.

Those advertisers will never invest such a high advertising fee for them.

People have earned 8000 million yuan from car advertising alone.

And that's only part of it.

In an instant, many directors burst into tears...

If you talk too much, you will cry. Why is there such a big gap in being a human being? ? ?

Of course, many people are questioning: "Is "Fast and Furious" really that good?"

About this question.

No need to answer at all,
These advertisers are not brain-dead, there is nowhere to spend more money,
He insisted on sending money to Lu Chen.

Therefore, the person who asked this question could only enviously withdraw the message that had just been sent out not long ago.
