Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 253 254. I just want to be a pure filmmaker 【Subscription】

Lu Chen didn't expect that he would feel progress again so soon.

When filming "Eight Hundred" before, Lu Chen had this feeling.

So, when that feeling comes.

Lu Chen knew clearly in his heart,
His director level has indeed improved.

"The rest of the summer can be a lot of fun."

Zeng Jia didn't know what Lu Chen was thinking, she was talking about the next summer file: "In addition to Qinghai Media and Solomon, two new production companies that joined the TV industry, several other established production companies The companies have also announced their participation one after another. Among them are powerful ones, political dramas, idol dramas, and Xianxia dramas. Among them, our biggest opponents in Xianxia dramas are Tang Ren and Director Lu. Is it a little unbelievable that you just trained them new talents? My first sister, they arranged TV dramas to mess with us."

"It's different."

"That's right, this time can be said to be a test of Zhou Miao's level,"

It's a bit of Ye Wen's intention to challenge the major martial arts gyms in Xiangcheng. Only by winning can he be qualified to open a martial arts gym.

However, this is not the qualification to open a martial arts gym.

It is the qualification to win the boss.

If Zhou Miao wins.

The title of "National Drama Brother" will be given to Jiaxing Media.

Lu Chen can't bear these four words alone.

There must be another one.

"These production companies really don't know how to be grateful." Zeng Jia complained.

"How?" Lu Chen asked.

"Director Lu, your appearance has made the entire TV industry look prosperous. It can be said that the TV series you filmed before have supported countless crews and production companies... Now the TV series market is full of fire. of those themes."

Lu Chen directly filtered Zeng Jia's follow-up speech.

It seems that my influence on domestic dramas is still quite large.

Lu Chen thought beautifully.

"boss……"

"It's okay to hang up, don't come to me if you have something to do, you and Zhou Miao can figure it out."

"Okay then, I'll keep an eye on it."

Lu Chen hung up the phone.

Some excitedly walked out of the tent, the crew had finished the set.

Jiang Yu also took the actors through the show, and Lu Chen only needed to host the filming.

The hardest shot is over.

What I am doing now is finishing, which is the so-called checking for gaps.

"Lower the lit board a bit,"

"Adjust the second lens, the overall effect is a little darker, think about the tone of the previous scene."

"Chen Fang, pay attention to your position."

"Camera No. [-] adjusts the lens again, I need a close-up shot."

……

Although the work at the end wasn't too difficult, Lu Chen's attitude was no different from when he first filmed.

It is Lu Chen's request to strive for perfection.

Under Lu Chen's high demands, the actors' slack spirit collapsed again.

Until the weekend comes.

When the last shot was finished, Lu Chen looked at the somewhat messy bridge.

He looked at the crew members who were staring at him eagerly, and suddenly raised his voice.

"Everyone, "Fast and Furious 1" is finished."

Lu Chen loudly gave the answer expected by the crew.

"what……"

A cry of joy rang out instantly.

In the evening, a five-star hotel near the crew.

"Director Lu."

Everyone looked at Lu Chen, the filming was over, but Lu Chen was the core of the entire crew.

Even if it's a wrap-up banquet, Lu Chen needs to shout to start it.

"What are you looking at me for?" Lu Chen was slightly speechless. In four months,

Let everyone get used to the sound of him calling the beginning.

"Get up."

These words directly set the crew's emotions completely free.

The fatigue caused by the filming was swept away in an instant, and Tang Lei poured wine for Lu Chen: "Director Lu, let's have a drink."

Lu Chen didn't refuse either.

Just drink it up.

Soon Lu Chen was surrounded by several leading actors, and everyone wanted to offer a toast to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen saw this formation.

There was a headache for a moment, but he didn't refuse.

Finally, it was the turn of the assistant director Jiang Yu.

He directly pulled a few people over and introduced them to Lu Chen: "Director Lu, this is my team."

"Your team?"

Lu Chen looked curiously at the people behind Jiang Yu.

Before "Fast and Furious 1" started filming,
He had the idea of ​​wanting Jiang Yu to stand on his own,
Became the third director of Jiaxing Media.

In this way, those movies that Lu Chen doesn't want to miss, but don't want to make, can let Jiang Yu start shooting.

therefore,

Before that, Lu Chen asked him to set up his own director team.

The group of people behind Jiang Yu was very nervous.

Once they are recognized, they will be members of Jiaxing Media in the future.

Although I would rather be a member of Lu Chen's director team.

But they also know,
Lu Chen's team has no place for them.

The remaining positions are those that can be replaced at any time, and the real main force has no place.

Therefore, instead of staying in Lu Chen's team and continuing to be a substitute, it is better to join Jiang Yu's team,

Become a real workhorse.

Jiang Yu is Lu Chen's half apprentice.

It must have been learned twice.

Coupled with the support of Lu Chen and Jiaxing Media, the future achievements should not be low.

Zhou Miao is the best example.

"good."

Lu Chen smiled, the level of the group behind Jiang Yu is really good.

It can be seen from the shooting during this period.

And Jiang Yu also decisively took this group of people into his account.

"Congratulations Director Jiang!"

Noticing Jiang Yu's side, Tang Lei sat down with a smile, and said while drinking: "Director Jiang, if there is a suitable role in the future, you have to take care of me, little brother..."

"It's more like you taking care of me."

Tang Lei said: "Take care of each other."

"Director Lu, look..."

Lu Chen said a little speechlessly: "It's not over yet? Besides, aren't you tired? You have to take a break and start working? Otherwise, they will appoint me as an unscrupulous boss."

Lu Chen was also speechless for a while,
Of course he knew what Jiang Yu wanted to say,
Don't think about it, he must be asking for a script.

Nima, these workaholics.

It's not over here yet, so I thought about continuing to work.

In this regard, as a conscientious boss.

Of course, Lu Chen refused without hesitation.

Force them to rest for a while.

There is absolutely no such thing as a script that was not written.

"Understood, Director Lu." Jiang Yu shook his head in disappointment.

Regarding this, Lu Chen was speechless for a while.

……

Three days later, Lu Chen was ready to devote all his energy to the post-production of "Fast and Furious 1",

during the following days,
There are also more and more reports about the actions of major production companies in the summer file.

For example, a certain director announced that he would join the fight.

For example, the scheduled time of a certain work.

For example, a certain artist appears on a variety show to promote his program.

As you can imagine,

The upcoming summer vacation will definitely be extremely intense.

And what is even more desperate.

The directors who participated in this battle are all well-ranked in the industry.

Everyone's goal is Zhou Miao.

In this regard, the discussion in the industry is quite intense.

"By the way, has Lu Chen's apprentice grown to such a degree?"

"In fact, it's easy to understand. "My Love from the Star" not only created a miracle in China, but also suppressed everything in Korea. The appearance of this TV series directly praised Zhou Miao too much."

"What do these domestic directors mean? It's good if you can't see other directors?"

"You can't say that. These actions can be said to be a test for Zhou Miao. If she can break through the encirclement, then she will soar into the sky..."

"Director Lu didn't seem to have passed the test at the beginning, did he?"

"Who dares to test Director Lu? You really think these people are fools, test Director Lu, and properly deliver food."

"There's nothing wrong with that..."

"Director Lu is an undefeated legend in the entertainment industry. His commercial sensitivity is too strong, and he can handle any kind of subject matter."

……

There are different opinions in the industry, some say that Zhou Miao will win, and some say that Zhou Miao will be defeated.

However, to Lu Chen, it seemed that it really had nothing to do with him.

Just when he was about to devote all his energy to post-production.

Jiaxing Media has an unexpected guest.

……

In the reception room of Jiaxing Media, a man in a suit said calmly: "As Director Lu saw, our company's development has encountered a bottleneck, but we think it's only a matter of time before we break through this bottleneck. If we cooperate with Wanguo Pictures, the time to break through this bottleneck will be greatly shortened."

That's right.

The person who came was Wanguo Pictures.

they
However, everyone's attention was quickly diverted by one thing.

Just because he is willing to invest in Jiaxing Media and provide considerable benefits in the hope that Lu Chen will cooperate with them.

This is Chen Sicheng who regards him as the future.

"Director Lu."

The voice of the middle-aged man who came to serve as a lobbyist for Wanguo Films was extremely seductive: "Look! Director Lu cooperates because we are optimistic about Director Lu's ability. We think Lu Chen is fully capable of replacing the national teacher and becoming the top university in the country." Director, and the basis of this cooperation, Director Lu can continue to be the boss of Jiaxing Media, we will not interfere, on the contrary. We will also provide a lot of help..."

Make yourself No.1 in China.

Let Jiaxing Media become a large entertainment company in the industry.

No matter from which point of view, the conditions offered by Wanguo Pictures are quite attractive.

However, Lu Chen did not intend to agree.

Unless, they are willing to let Lu Chen become a shareholder of Wanguo Cinemas.

And this is basically impossible.

As for why they chose Lu Chen.

The reason is actually very simple.

That is, there is no choice.

At this moment, Wanguo has no chance to find other powerful directors in China.
It can be said that famous directors such as Guoshi and Chen Guofu have been missed in succession.

Only turn your attention to the new director.

compared to rookie directors.

Lu Chen is undoubtedly the most reliable.

In addition to being young and fashionable, Lu Chen also has ideas, ambition, can make money, and understands the needs of the audience.

The outside world's evaluation of Lu Chen is: "The director knows what the audience likes to watch, and his decisions are made according to the needs of the audience."

This is what the nations need.

The combination of celebrity and capital can be said to be a process of mutual benefit.

If Lu Chen agrees,

Definitely can: the director of "Relying on the back of the world to enjoy the cool".

However, compared to leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade,
Lu Chen prefers the cake maker.

Although the conditions offered by the other party are even more attractive, Lu Chen also knows that this matter is far from as simple as the other party said.

Because it can make all nations bow their heads.

There is only one possibility.

That means the IWC has suffered a loss.

And the amount of loss is not small.

Although this big ship is very stable, it is definitely not easy to sail.

Thinking about this, Lu Chen shook his head: "I'm sorry, Jiaxing Media has no plans to cooperate with other companies."

"Director Lu, please listen to me..."

The other party still wanted to persuade Lu Chen, but it was a pity that Lu Chen didn't have the conditions to be tempted by the other party.

Work with a big ship like them.

Never unequal.

It is said that they came to ask for cooperation, but it is more accurate to replace it with charity.

The opponent's name is indeed very big.

It's a pity that this name can't hold back Lu Chen.

Lu Chen is indeed capable of changing the status quo of Wanguo Pictures.

But he has no plans to work for others.

Seeing that Lu Chen was not moved, the other party's lobbyist shook his head helplessly.

This young man is really not easy to fool.

It was the same as Lu Chen thought.

The other party just wanted to find a powerful director to control the situation.

Several other powerful directors in China have been wooed by them.

Unfortunately, none were successful.
Even if the conditions offered by the other party are extremely attractive...

Sent away the other party.

Zeng Jia smiled next to Lu Chen's ear, "Such an attractive offer made my heart move, but you can refuse without hesitation, which really surprises me..."

"Their boat is not easy to board. After boarding, it will still be a problem whether Jiaxing Media will be surnamed Lu in the future."

After rejecting the other party,
Lu Chen continued to focus on the post-production of Telecom.

As for cooperation.

Lu Chen didn't take it to heart at all, and the other party was not the first to ask him to cooperate.

Ahri and Penguin had looked for him before.

The conditions they put forward are also quite generous.

However, they were all rejected by Lu Chen.

With the investment of these days, one-third of the post-editing work of "Fast and Furious 1" has been done,

The reason why the speed of editing has slowed down is that it is still early.

There is no need to hurry.

It's only the beginning of July now,
There is still more than half a year before the Spring Festival,
For such a long time, Lu Chen had the idea of ​​making a film.

It is said that it will sweep the major awards next year.

And if you want to sweep the major awards, one work is definitely not enough.

The effect that Lu Chen wants is that they must give it.

The kind that if you don't give it, you can't explain it to the outside world.

So, for insurance.

Lu Chen prepared two.

If it doesn't work, three parts are fine.

Don't forget, Jiaxing Media now has two film directors.

Speaking of two film directors,

Recently, Jiang Yu launched a fierce offensive against Lu Chen again!
I want a script.

It was also for this reason that Lu Chen's editing speed became much slower.

I have to write a script for Jiang Yu...

While Lu Chen was busy writing the script and the post-editing of "Fast and Furious 1".

The publicity work of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is also in full swing.

The special effects of Xianxia TV series are attractive.

After the music promo.

Zhou Miao started the promotion of special effects.

In terms of special effects, Jiaxing Media can be said to be the first in China.

Willing to spend money.

Willing to spend money on movies and TV shows.

In the previous life, the word-of-mouth of "Detective Chinatown 3" directly hit the street, and it was hard to say that it was not because of capital.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Chen rejected Wanguo Pictures without hesitation.

At that time, Wanguo Group announced the performance of Wanguo Films, which showed that Wanguo Films’ national box office market share reached 15.4%, an increase of 1.2 percentage points from the previous year, and it was the company with the largest market share increase in the entire film and television sector under the impact of the epidemic.

Of course, this is not the most powerful. The second Huaguo Film Co., Ltd. is the well-known listed company Huaguo Films. According to the official website of Huaguo Films, Huaguo Films has seven holdings, shareholding theaters and more than [-] holding theaters. Box office receipts accounted for more than a quarter of the national box office total.

In 2018, according to the data we found, the market share of the top ten box office of Huaying shares has reached 68.52%.

Then, the problem of Tang Detective 3 becomes a math problem. The box office market share of Wanguo Film is 15.4%, and Huaying shares say it is more than 25%. The two together exceed 40%. If According to the data of 18, the market share is likely to exceed 40%.

Under such circumstances, as a film that the two capital giants are trying to promote, with such a high market share and concerted action, it is difficult for Tang Detective 3 to become popular.

What's more, in Tang Detective 3, these two giants have spent 2 years on publicity. It has reached an unprecedented height, which is the key to the box office success of Tang Detective 3.

To give a simple example, movies are not something you can watch whenever you want. Film scheduling is the most knowledgeable thing. The theater chain directly knows which movie is scheduled and how many sets are scheduled.

During the Spring Festival, your family happily went to the movies, and it turned out that most of the movies were scheduled for one movie. The others you wanted to watch were either arranged in the early morning or midnight, or there were too few movies, only two or three movies a day.
So what to do?
You can only watch what everyone sees, but what everyone sees is not necessarily what everyone wants to see. It is very likely that it is just what the capital wants you to see.

The reason why Lu Chen refused was very simple.

That is, he wants to be a pure director, if these resources are invested.

Even if he wants to be pure, these capitals have various ways to make him impure.

……

Time is fast approaching July.

The heat of summer dilutes the coolness of spring, and the air is filled with puffs of heat.

Lu Chen sat in Jiaxing Media's office and watched the entertainment news on the Internet.

The current hot spot is still Jiaxing Media and other production companies.

With Jiaxing Media's position here, no one intentionally tripped Zhou Miao's "The Legend of the Ancient Sword".

Each by means.

Therefore, during this period of time, the Internet is full of promotions for certain TV dramas.

For example, a certain CP is on the hot search again.

A certain movie star sends out another support for a certain TV series.

As July approaches.

The first TV series called "Fengyun Bang" first opened the prelude to the fight.

The broadcast of this TV series is like throwing a stone into a calm lake.

directly triggered a wide range of expectations.
