Huayu, my wife, I support myself

"Happy to hear about a crash."

"The heat of last year's tripartite confrontation has not yet ended, but this year it will be Lu Chen and Master Xing's turn."

"I don't know who is better,"

"In terms of background, I like Master Xing, but Lu Chen's strength is not bad, and qualifications don't mean everything, so it's hard to say the result before the movie starts..."

Netizens were discussing enthusiastically.

The industry is also paying attention to this matter. Many people think that the collision between Lu Chen and Master Xing will repeat the history of Lu Chen and Mr. Xu last year.

Last year, Lu Chen and Mr. Xu respectively brought you such good movies as "Shark Shore" and "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate".

Some experts have begun to analyze from various aspects.

Zhou Xingchi's strengths and weaknesses, Lu Chen's strengths and weaknesses.

It can be said that the analysis is sound.

It feels as if they know themselves far better than Lu Chen and Zhou Xingchi.

Master Xing's movie is Journey to the West series.

This is a scary hot topic.

After all, "Journey to the West", which survived in the cracks in the Xiangcheng film circle, accidentally entered the mainland market. It didn't get much attention at first, but because of a group of students, it embarked on the road to becoming a god.

For the inland market at that time, traditional Hong Kong movies could no longer meet the needs of moviegoers, and the alternative Westward Journey broke the rules.

A brand-new humorous way is used to mobilize the audience's taste, and the whimsy in it is beyond the audience's imagination, so it is conceivable what kind of attention it will arouse.

Students' love for this part of the work is beyond imagination.

Young people who work hard for love and dreams find resonance in this work and understand that love is no longer a traditional model and can be expressed in a more alternative way.

Heroes are no longer stereotyped, and can even show a ruthless side, making young people realize that the two sides of a person are not black and white.

Especially in the movie, the gods who were once considered untouchable by the audience not only have love, but are no longer traditionally kind. Tang Seng is even more annoying than imagined. The new angle will naturally arouse more resonance.

Especially that line.

"He looks like a dog" such vulgar words have never appeared in traditional movies.

In an instant, the audience was brought to reality. Although the language was vulgar, it expressed the sadness and helplessness of many people.

It can be said that Master Xing was named a god by relying on these words.

Everyone dreams of becoming a hero, but in the end they find that they are just a part of ordinary life, struggling with the vortex of life with all their strength.
The whole movie "A Chinese Journey to the West" was also sublimated by this vulgar sentence, and it was made a god because of it. The love between Zhizunbao and Zixia has also become a regret for many people.

The regret of Journey to the West continues into reality.

In previous film and television works, most people designed the ending to be extremely beautiful in order to make more audiences happy, but in real life, this kind of beauty is obviously very rare.

Most people’s lives are full of regrets, whether it’s career or love or even family regrets, everyone will experience more or less. Although seeing consummation in film and television works will give you a little comfort, but returning to reality in the end still makes you feel sad. Many people can't accept it, but Westward Journey reflects this regret in the movie.

The love between Zixia Fairy and Supreme Treasure is what many people yearn for, and this love ended in regret, which also resonates with many people.

No matter how vigorous you are when you fall in love, you can't compete with the problems in reality. When you connect with yourself, you can better understand the reluctance and unwillingness in it, so you can empathize with it.

Of course, the audience can have such sympathy, and it has a great relationship with the excellent performance of the actors, so the clever Zixia fairy at the beginning has also become the dream of many people.

So, imagine.

After hearing that this movie is Master Xing's summary of himself.

The group of fans who had regrets at the beginning went crazy.

Lu Chen in his previous life was also an audience of "A Chinese Journey to the West".

I remember when this movie came out.

He also specially went to the movie theater to support him. It was also at that time that Lu Chen decided to be a director.

It can be said,
Lu Chen and Master Xing are still destined to each other.

At least Lu Chen did regard Master Xing as his idol back then.

I have been thinking about chasing Master Xing all day long.

be honest.

Lu Chen still likes Master Xing's movies.

Although every movie of Master Xing has a comedy appearance, it actually has a tragic core inside. His movies are all about the struggle history of small people, as well as those simple and touching love stories.

For example: "I once had a sincere love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it..." This passage is called a classic, and it is also said to be deeply touching.Why Zhou Xingchi can say such a thing is because he has really experienced such a relationship. "

Another example is "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Shu Qi: "I have a small ideal, which is to find a good husband, give birth to a baby, and have a happy family. That person is you"

Wen Zhang: "Neuropathy".

Master Xing meant something in this sentence.

Why is Master Xing so powerful.

the reason is simple.

That is why he created the Journey to the West series of movies, but why did he change from a god to a mortal.

The reason is also very simple.

That is, he personally destroyed the theme of Journey to the West.

We must know that the previous classic "Journey to the West" is a classic in the memory of many people.

It can be said to be a masterpiece.

So far the best Westward Journey movie in Huaguo film history.

Master Xing also thoroughly established his position in the country through this movie.

This theme is born with a terrifying gold-absorbing effect.

Being able to directly pull down the record-breaking "Tai囧" is the best proof.

If "Tai囧" is put on the Spring Festival file.

Lu Chen is sure!
He will definitely be beaten by Master Xing.

However, it is limited to this.

The one behind.

Of course it's another matter.

In addition, Lu Chen also paid attention to the special effects company he cooperated with in the movie Master Xing.

Chao Ting Company over in Xiangcheng.

The special effects of this company are very high, faintly higher than the current light and shadow special effects.

It has faintly reached the level of being able to compete with the West.

It seems that this should be Master Xing's magic weapon.

After so many years.

Lu Chen didn't believe that the special effects of this Journey to the West movie were still at the same level as the Journey to the West back then.

I hope that the future light and shadow special effects can reach the level of Zhaoting.

Lu Chen is currently burning countless funds in the light and shadow special effects company.

I just hope that this company can give the special effects they need.

At the same time, this is also the reason why Zhu Yi and the others agreed to Lu Chen's acquisition of light and shadow special effects.

That means Lu Chen is really willing to spend money.

With Lu Chen's investment of so much money, although it seems that it is indeed worse than this Chaoting special effects company.

But these gaps are not irreparable.

Lu Chen thought about sending the light and shadow people out to study if he had time.

With his current status.

It shouldn't be a problem to send a few people to which top special effects companies to study.

In short, in terms of special effects, Lu Chen felt that he still had a lot to talk about with Master Xing.

In general, Lu Chen is still looking forward to Master Xing's "Conquering the Devil".

"In general, Master Xing should be stronger."

"Not necessarily, although Master Xing has the blessing of "A Westward Journey", but Lu Chen also has the blessing of "Initial D". Lu Chen is the originator of racing movies. Judging from the audience who watched racing movies before, they like this kind of movie. There are quite a few audiences for the film.”

In the discussion on the Internet, the wind seems to be tilting towards Lu Chen.

This is quite in line with Lu Chen's current status.

Although Master Xing has more influence,

But Lu Chen has never failed.

Its influence is self-evident.

This wave can be said to be half a catty.

As Jiaxing Media kept up with the promotion, it directly ignited the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie.

Lu Chen and Master Xing collided with each other, and there was no sense of rivalry in it.

no one believed it at all,
"This is the rhythm of fighting."

"At the Huabiao Awards that just ended, Lu Chen just said in his acceptance speech for the best director that commercial blockbusters are the cornerstone of the film market. These remarks did not seem to resonate with many people. Now Lu Chen is bringing his business Did you use a blockbuster movie to prove the accuracy of your words?"

"Master Xing's "Conquering the Devil" is also a commercial blockbuster."

"Master Xing and Lu Chen are both the best opponents, but there has never been a chance to confront each other head-on. This time it can be said to be a real duel. I don't know if Lu Chen can continue to create miracles this time."

"Whether the undefeated God can continue, we can know in the Spring Festival."

"It took several years of dormancy to show up. I have reason to suspect that Master Xing is holding back his big move. In contrast, Lu Chen has at least one movie a year, and there are even two in many cases."

"Who do you think will win?"

The discussion on this issue can be said to be extremely cheesy, but there is no way.

The audience is just interested in a topic that sounds so vulgar.

And the media will always only chase the winners.

"Lu Chen has hope."

"Indeed, the commercial value that Lu Chen can create is too high. Although Master Xing has a stronger background, Lu Chen is too evil."

"I still think Master Xing is more powerful, because the popularity of Journey to the West series is too high."

"No matter in terms of status or awards, Master Xing is much better than Lu Chen. I think Lu Chen's confrontation with Master Xing this time should be the worst decision he made."

"You think too much."

"After a few years of accumulation, Master Xing may indeed shine. However, it depends on whether Lu Chen agrees or not. You must know that last year Lu Chen just solved the national teacher and old monster Xu who are both powerful directors."

"..."

mentioned here,

Netizens suddenly felt sorry for Master Xing, Lu Chen couldn't speculate based on common sense at all.

for the rest of the time.

Netizens have been comparing "Fast and Furious 1" with "Conquer the Devil".

From the strength of the director.

actor fame,
There is also the heat of the subject.

……

The outside world seems to have been speculating on this.

And next,

The expected publicity war began.

Maybe they felt the pressure on each other.

The hype for both films was strong.

Various channels have been opened up, just so that the audience can remember the name of their new movie.

subway entrance,
bus body,

The large electronic screen in the square.

Wherever people can notice, there are more or less movie promotions.

Master Xing even took the crew to participate in the program to promote.

This time Lu Chen was also nervous.

I also took the crew to some places to accept media interviews.

"The name of Director Lu's movie this time is "Fast and Furious", which seems a bit straightforward."

"Yes."

Lu Chen said: "These two words are the core of my movie."

Before the reporter asked questions, Lu Chen said again: "The Bible says: "Everyone should listen quickly, speak slowly, and get angry slowly. "Since we can't get rid of the fate of fast, we can at least not get furious easily, keep mindfulness, and enjoy the present life.

In fact, fast and furious can describe more than just car racing.The lives of most modern people are fast and furious.Therefore, the English name of speed and passion is fast and furious.In my positioning, this is a passionate movie. "

The reporter smiled and said, "For example? It's convenient to disclose."

Lu Chen nodded.

These reporters were all greeted by Zeng Jia, so the questions they asked were particularly appetizing: "Many of the drag racing scenes used in this movie are real shots. Let me tell you this. There are already more than 20 vehicles, everyone has put in a lot of hard work, and the shooting effect is naturally very perfect, I believe this movie will once again drive the trend of traffic jam movies in the future.”

"is it?"

The female reporter couldn't believe it.

The "Initial D" filmed by Lu Chen before has brought the trend of traffic jam movies.

who knows,
But now Lu Chen said that it will lead to another trend.No matter how you look at it, there are elements of bragging.

Although the female reporter did not believe it.

But he still wrote down what Lu Chen said.

A more secure person like Lu Chen can say something similar and more conceited.

It can be said to be very trustworthy.

Yep,
Compared to other powerful directors.

Lu Chen can be said to be a real person,

Basically, he didn't brag about his movies much, and what he said was all fulfilled.

"Director Lu."

The female reporter decided to test Lu Chen's bottom line, and asked a sensitive topic that the audience was looking forward to: "Director Lu, will this movie prove what you said at the Huabiao Awards?"

evidence!

The female reporter was still sympathetic. What the outside world said about what Lu Chen said at the Huabiao Awards could be said to be one-sided.

To put it simply, it is purely unable to eat grapes and say grapes are sour.

Because there are not many directors in China who can really make commercial blockbusters.

The others are small-budget directors.

After making small-budget films for a lifetime, even if you invest in him and let him make a blockbuster film,
He probably didn't dare to accept it.

Even Xu Zheng.

Can't do it either.

The difference between Xu Zheng and the National Teacher is that.

Xu Zheng can't control blockbuster movies.

Therefore, even if his status is infinitely close to that of a powerful director.

He will not become a powerful director.

Powerful directors basically prove themselves through blockbuster films.

After finishing speaking, the female reporter stared at Lu Chen curiously.

The rest of the crew also stared at Lu Chen.

Most of the key actors of the crew are here, and the person being interviewed now is the director Lu Chen.

It was not yet the actor's turn to speak.

"Yes."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Whether it's my "Fast and Furious 1" or Master Xing's "Conquering the Devil", no matter which schedule it is in, it can support the movie market of that schedule.

And other low-budget movies are simply unable to support the film market for a certain period. Even the just-concluded Lunar New Year file competition, "Tai囧" became so popular, it still failed to support that period. "

The female reporter was stunned.

Because what Lu Chen said was indeed the truth.

The current box office of "Lost in Thailand" has exceeded 15 billion.

But 15 billion, for the film market of this schedule.

Only one-third of it.

Subsequently,

The female reporter was instantly excited.

"Tai囧" 15 billion accounted for only one-third of the Lunar New Year movie market.

Then if "Fast and Furious 1" can support the Spring Festival schedule.

That would have to account for at least two-thirds of the movie market.

That is to say, the box office of "Fast and Furious 1".

At least 30 billion.

As expected of Director Lu, he has never disappointed reporters like them.

Basically a question and answer.

Every time I interview Lu Chen, I can gain a lot.

"It seems that Director Lu is very confident in his "Fast and Furious 1"."

"certainly,"

Lu Chen answered without hesitation.

……

"Damn it, why do I feel that what Lu Chen said makes sense."

"Does Lu Chen mean that "Fast and Furious 1" has a box office of at least 30 billion?"

"Although it feels a bit ridiculous, I can't find a reason to object."

"This is called strength."

"Those with strength dare to say that."

After the interview, Lu Chen's words still sparked discussions among many netizens.

Some people praise it, but of course there are also people who are very derogatory.

However, even Lu Chen's black fans have to admit that Lu Chen's words are somewhat reasonable.

Master Xing also had such an interview.

There are also a lot of gimmicks given.

But the attention is obviously not as big as Lu Chen's side.

the reason is simple.

Master Xing's credibility is not as good as Lu Chen's.

This is the difference between Lu Chen and other directors in the industry.

Because Lu Chen never talked nonsense.

He didn't blow up his own movies.

Therefore, the audience still believed in his words.

three days later.

The propaganda war has reached the stage of the promotional video.

The first to announce the promotional video is Master Xing.

As a series of movies on Journey to the West.

Master Xing must have made a breakthrough in this film, judging from the promotional video.

His director level is as good as ever, with tears in his smile.

The battle scene highlighted by the background music is very cool...

"That's the smell."

"The music is very touching. I think Lu Chen and Master Xing should have a lot of topics about the soundtrack."

"By the way, don't you think this Monkey King is ugly? Is this still the Monkey King in my impression?"

"This is too subversive,"

"The story is not novel, but the trailer is fascinating."
