Huayu, my wife, I support myself

There is no such thing as 300 taels of silver here.

Lu Chen didn't care much about these topics on the Internet.

Netizens can understand it however they like.

Who made the other party retreat!

Perhaps in Tian Wang's view, the loss of becoming Tang Lei's background board again is greater than the loss of postponing "Blind Detective".

actually not.

The loss of the delay is definitely greater than being Tang Lei's background board.

Because the audience's expectations of the king have been lowered once.

What is lost in the delay is the enthusiasm of the audience for him.

To put it simply, his box office appeal will decline.

No way, the road is chosen by oneself.

Two days later, "The Pianist" was officially released from the cinema, and the final box office was 20.2 billion.

It directly became the ceiling of domestic literary films.

On Douban.com, the film's affection has also reached a terrifying 9.1 points.

It can also be photographed on the entire Douban.com.

"classic work."

"I'll watch it again when I have the chance,"

"The best suspense film of the year, I have a different understanding every time I watch it."

"Except for the blind man's girlfriend, everyone is evil, so you can imagine what the truth is. The script, soundtrack, and mirroring are all excellent, and several reversals are also done quite smoothly, and several jokes are even more serious. It makes people laugh so much. It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced the joy of watching a movie with IQ, and I salute Director Lu!”

"Surprisingly good-looking, black humor emerges endlessly in nearly two and a half hours of sufficient time, and it is really difficult to predict the direction of the story when it is constantly reversed, and the end of the film finally ends with "false is true when it is true, and there is nothing wrong with doing nothing." "Is there or not" ended in the act of being blind."

"..."

In line with the rating, word of mouth is also extremely explosive.

Although some viewers said that after watching this movie, they had no extra feelings, and were even a little indifferent.

But overall, the film doesn't face many doubts.

Even film critics who have always been unhappy with Lu Chen basically expressed their admiration for this movie.

"Is the movie in post-production still this good?"

"Madam Lu" who was lying in Lu Chen's arms asked curiously.

Lu Chen shook his head: "'Partner' is an inspirational film."

"Inspirational film?" Liu Shishi was a little puzzled.

No wonder Liu Shishi was so confused.

Inspirational themes have always been the focus of filming that directors particularly favor, and they are also spiritual food that audiences in Huaguo love to hear.

However, it seems that in the minds of the public, inspirational movies have always been the monopoly of foreign directors, such as "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door", "The Devil Wears Prada", "Shawshank Redemption", etc. It seems that there are no such excellent films in Huaguo generally.

"The kind that wants to win prizes?" Liu Shishi asked.

"Of course, I need to make myself vulnerable."

Lu Chen has won this award.

don't give?

Well, if you don't give it, you won't give it!

Neither can he.

"So you are so powerful?" Liu Shishi was in a daze.

In her memory, since Lu Chen's debut.

Huaguo's movies began to fight against Hollywood movies.

To know.

In the past, domestic movies have always been beaten.

Lu Chen admitted this with peace of mind.

Without his words.

If domestic films are expected to counterattack Hollywood, in seven or eight years, there is a high probability that there will be no hope.

Although there will be no big breakthroughs in future Hollywood movies in the next seven or eight years.

However, "Marvel" has conquered cities all over the world, which is indeed a proof of the strength of Hollywood movies.

But there are pros and cons.

Original scripts are very scarce.

This is not only in China, but also in Hollywood.

With the progress of the times, the domestic film and television industry is also developing rapidly.

However, in recent years, although the output of film and television works is not low, they are often criticized by the audience. Among them, many audiences can't help complaining: there are too few original scripts, and there are always remakes of "fried rice".

Such complaints are not without factual basis, such as the recent new versions of "Yi Tian Shou Long Ji", "Legend of the New White Lady", the upcoming "Peerless Twins", "The Legend of Condor Heroes", "Dragon and Ba Bu", "The Deer and Ding Ji", It can be said that the number of remakes is not once or twice.

This kind of situation does not only exist in the TV drama industry, but also remakes of well-known IPs have appeared in the film market. For example, the movie "Love at First Kiss" had a TV drama version before, and "A Story More Sad Than Sadness" is a remake of the Korean movie of the same name.

In the film and television industry, is everything original except remakes?

the answer is negative.

In addition to remakes of classic movies and TV series, series of sequels, and adaptations of popular novels, comics, and even games, film and television works that rely on ready-made IP cannot be called original in the strict sense. .

Converted into the words of the audience: "The novel of such and such a great god will be adapted into a movie."

"The so-and-so game I'm playing is going to be a TV series."

"The third part of a certain TV series is about to be broadcast." These are all non-original.

Many viewers hold a pessimistic attitude towards the domestic film and television industry because of the lack of originality, thinking that it is lagging behind Europe and the United States.

actually not.

Hollywood original scripts are also very scarce.

It relies heavily on IP adaptations and superhero movies.

This trend has also created a content shortage.

Without original content, there is no future.

And in Hollywood, many top actors look down on Marvel heroes.

But Marvel heroes have seriously squeezed the living space of other movies,
As a result, many first-line stars in Hollywood cannot receive scripts they like.

Speaking of internal conflicts.

Compared with China, Hollywood seems to be more serious.

In terms of potential.

The ones with greater potential must be domestic films,

It's just that the level of the current group of practitioners is not very good.

It's not really bad, but they always like to make themselves bad.

Lu Chen answered without hesitation.

Liu Shishi didn't feel that Lu Chen was overconfident.

After all, where is Mr. Lu's grades?

Liu Shishi rolled his eyes, leaned on Lu Chen's body, and asked with a charming look on purpose, "Mr. Lu, I haven't made a movie for a long time."

"When I finish filming the next movie, I will write a special one for you. Don't worry, it will be a blockbuster movie." Lu Chen promised.

The outside world thinks that Liu Shishi has fallen out of favor.

Of course, Lu Chen had to prove the relationship between the two.

"Are you going to be the leading actor?" Liu Shishi looked forward to it faintly.

"I arranged another hero for you." Lu Chen shook his head.

In an instant, the expectation became abnormal.

Hearing this, Liu Shishi blinked his eyes, suspecting that he heard it wrong, touched Lu Chen's forehead with his right hand, and then touched his own forehead: "I don't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Aren't you jealous?"

"If I want to eat, I will also eat you. Why are you jealous?" Lu Chen was speechless.

"Mr. Lu, something is wrong with you." Liu Shishi didn't think so, Mr. Lu was not so generous.

I am a man who is very cautious about these things.

Seeing Lu Chen looking at him with an indifferent expression, Liu Shishi instantly felt that there was something wrong with this little man.

Lu Chen didn't explain either.

direct action.

After a lot of fighting, Liu Shishi finally found out that his own Mr. Lu was still the familiar Mr. Lu.

They all like to tear.

I still haven't learned how to understand it, and it's always violent.

……

the next day.

Lu Chen came to work at Jiaxing Media refreshed.

"We need a director."

Since Lu Chen wants to set up an animation department, he definitely needs a consul.

That is animation director.

Lu Chen can also do it concurrently, but it's too tiring.

Even in a very mature industrial environment, animation director is a high-purity, high-risk, high-stress job.

Many filmmakers in previous lives dreamed of directing an animated film.

It may be that I saw the side of the director's scenery, but did not spend time and energy to observe how the animation director works.

The animation director is the leader of the entire animation production team.

The film director is the leader of the collective creation of the film.

Whether it is an animation director or a film director, their task is to organize different professional creative personnel and technical personnel to jointly produce high-quality films.

At present, the famous animation directors have different processes of becoming directors. Some have switched careers from the film industry, some have started as animators, some are script writers and directors, and some have been working as directors from the very beginning.

Generally speaking, most of the directors in the early days of animation were promoted to directors or changed careers in the film industry after production management participated in animation production for many years.

But with the passage of time, most of the current animation directors are started by animators.

The beauty of being a director is that you can decide the direction of your work yourself.

But because the director decides everything, the work is busy and the responsibility for the success or failure of the work also lies with the director.

So not everyone involved in animation production ultimately aims to be a director.

A film director uses the actor's body and emotions, the choice of sight, the scheduling of light, the composition of the screen, the logic of editing, and the matching of sound to present a certain script on the video screen, thereby presenting the script to the audience. .

The animation director is the key to the production of the whole work.The director does not necessarily have to draw every picture himself, but he must grasp the overall situation and make clear instructions and requirements for role setting, painting supervision, voice actors, sound supervision, etc.

Therefore, the style of each different director is quite different.

of course.

Animation directors and film directors also have similarities, both of which cannot be separated from the script of the film in the early stage of production.

Whether it is an animation director or a film director, they have to guide the team to complete the post-production.

Including editing, recording, theme song, animation, subtitles, special effects, etc.

From production, photography, lighting, art direction, scene management, actors, recording, sound mixing, post-production special effects, etc., it is very complicated.

Have clear thinking, have rich imagination and creativity, both expressive and communication skills are very strong, and they are very responsible Most modern film directors cannot extensively specialize in the above professional skills, but can dominate their All professionals in the department work according to the will of the director.

The director organizes and unites all the creators, technicians and performers in the crew to give full play to their talents and integrate the creative labor of all people into one.

Animation directors are more passionate about animation industry painting skills, not to mention, they also have strong modeling ability.

Both animation directors and film directors are proficient at telling stories with shots and drawing sub-shots.

Therefore, it is impossible for Lu Chen to hold concurrent positions all the time.

This is also the reason why Zeng Jia disapproved of Lu Chen's establishment of the animation department.

After hearing that Lu Chen was looking for an animation director to sit in the animation department.

The worries in my heart disappeared.

Therefore, they enthusiastically cooperated with Lu Chen's work.

"Directors are easy to find, but the level of animation directors in China is a bit uneven. There are not many excellent animation directors in China, but there are abroad, but it takes time, and language communication is also a problem..."

"Foreign ones will not be considered."

Lu Chen directly rejected Zeng Jia's proposal.

"How about this, you send out a nationwide recruitment, not only for directors, but also for other vacant positions, I will interview in person."

"This line, I will do it immediately."

With Lu Chen interviewing in person, there is no need to worry about whether the other party's ability is online.

"As soon as possible, "The Truman Show" will start soon."

"Don't worry." Zeng Jia nodded.

That night, Jiaxing Media's official Weibo posted a recruitment.

Jiaxing Media's signboard is very resounding.

As long as the netizens who like the TV series or movies produced by Jiaxing Media almost all pay attention to the official Weibo of Jiaxing Media.

Because there will always be first-hand news about the company's TV series or movies.

This has made the attention of the official Weibo account reach tens of millions.

Compared with the number of fans of many first-line stars.

Therefore, the radiating surface of the recruitment on the official Weibo is quite wide.

Soon it attracted a lot of attention.

"Jiaxing Media wants to make animated films?"

"Wow, I'm looking forward to it,"

"Oh my god, Jiaxing Media's animation director's annual salary is actually tens of millions. Isn't that too high? As far as domestic animation films are concerned, it's rare to make a profit of tens of millions, right?"

"Should I be so exaggerated, I suddenly hate that I didn't choose animation film major in university."

"This major is too unpopular after all."

"What are you thinking about? High salary is so easy to get. If you want to get such a high salary, you must first pass Lu Chen's test. Although Lu Chen is not a professional animation director, as a director, animation directors and film directors still have their own advantages." There are many similarities, so you have to let Lu Chen recognize your strength first."

"That's right, let me add one more point. There are very few animation majors in relevant domestic universities. Even if they do, there are very few students who study them. I have a few friends who also majored in this major. They have not found a job for half a year after graduation, so they can only be depressed. transfer."

"Is Lu Chen trying to drive the development of domestic animation films?"

"Who knows, maybe Lu Chen just wants to challenge the difficulty, after all, he has already become a god in ordinary movies."

……

People who eat melons naturally cannot apply.

People in the film industry couldn't help shaking their heads, and they didn't know whether they liked Lu Chen or not.

After all, Lu Chen has created too many miracles.

At this time, they couldn't make up their minds.

Although there was no market for this thing in China before.

But it was Lu Chen who stepped into this field after all.

If it is replaced by someone else.

It's definitely waiting to see a joke, but Lu Chen's words.

Many production companies are evaluating the market prospects of animated films.

Do you want to eat meat with Lu Chen?

The entertainment industry is on the move.

It was even worse in the small circle of animation production, which can be said to have caused a huge shock.

Jiaxing Media is not only recruiting animation directors this time.

There are more than 200 people engaged in this professional position.

As for why it vibrates so much.

On the one hand, it was because of the salary that Lu Chen gave was too high and very attractive.

On the other hand, it was because of Lu Chen's fancy for animated movies.

There should be no one in the country who is more interested in animation than Lu Chen.

After all, this is a very expensive field.

Although Jiaxing Media is rich and powerful, it can't afford to be burned like this.

Such a high salary.

Obviously, it must be no joke.

"Really want to make an animated movie?"

"I didn't expect Lu Chen to be interested in animated movies."

"Even the people in our circle have questioned this profession, but I didn't expect Lu Chen, an outsider, to want to develop this field..."

"Let's not talk about it, I'm going to apply. There are more than 200 positions, and I have to fight for them no matter what."

"I was ready to change careers, but I didn't expect that there will be another village, and I hope to join Jiaxing Media."

……

Domestic animated films are not so miserable.

However, the animated film market at this time is really a bit bleak.

Especially the animated film "Quiba: One Hundred Thousand Urgencies" launched the year before last with a production cost of 1350 million and a distribution budget of 2000 million.

In this project, which has been conceived for six years and written for two years, they have poured great ambition into it, hoping to create a fantasy world with a multi-ethnic symbiosis that spans more than 1000 years with an extremely grand structure.

In their plan, the entire story will consist of five films, which will be launched continuously at a rate of one per year.

However, the reality is like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the spark that they are aiming to start a prairie fire:

On the first day of the release of "Quiba: One Hundred Thousand Urgencies", there were only hundreds of theaters across the country to arrange the film, and the accumulated box office for a week was less than [-] million.

People from the animation company of the entire company ran to the entrance of the theater to distribute leaflets, lobbying everyone who passed by like grasping for straws.

It's just gone.

However, although this film was not successful, it was a milestone in Huaguo animation films.

It's a pity that it came too early, and the consumer market for animated films in Huaguo is not as mature as imagined.

but.

However, Lu Chen knew that the spring of domestic animated films was coming.

Take "The Return of the Great Sage" as the boundary.

The success of "The Return of the Great Sage" has successfully revitalized the entire market.

Subsequently.

"Big Fish and Begonia", "The Great Guardian", "The Curse of the Wind", "White Snake: Origin" and many other animation works have come out.

Especially in 19, "Nezha: The Reincarnation of the Devil Boy" broke the box office record again with a score of 50.35 billion. The market share of domestic animation surpassed that of imported animation for the first time.

Even some companies and practitioners who had previously sought another way out in order to survive have returned.

Under the favorable situation, "Quiba", which was originally postponed indefinitely, also announced the decision to restart at the end of 17.

Therefore, Lu Chen had to eat a piece of meat no matter what.
