Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 350 350. Interview 【Subscribe】

Lu Chen is no stranger to the "My Platinum Era" program group.

After all, this is already scored three times.

Compared to previous years, the ratings of "My Platinum Era" dropped again in the past two years...

But this is also impossible.

It is common now that TV ratings are dropping.

It's not because variety shows are better than before.

It's not that TV dramas haven't been watched before.

It is more due to the general environment. When viewers can watch the content on the TV on the Internet, the convenience of the Internet will directly blow up the TV.

Even older audiences.

Will also follow the trend.

Watch TV from your phone and computer.

The environment is like that.

No one can go against the sky.

However, Lu Chen, the person in charge of "My Platinum Era", thinks it's really good.

This time they didn't come to look for Lu Chen.

Instead, he came to look for Liu Shishi.

It's such an achievement for the first time as a producer, plus they just finished filming "King Kong".

therefore.

"My Platinum Age" came over again to catch the heat.

For their purpose,
Lu Chen knew it well, but he didn't refuse.

Liu Shishi also needs some enthusiasm now. After all, since he is back, he must come back stronger.

On My Platinum Age.

Overall, Lu Chen is quite satisfied, it can be said that he is familiar with the road.

This time he is the foil.

He also has a good relationship with the host of "My Platinum Era".

Although not particularly familiar,

But the other party would not intentionally dig a hole for him, although Lu Chen was not afraid of being dug.

But he really didn't like this kind of behavior.

Therefore,
Lu Chen is quite willing to chat with the other party.

This issue of "My Platinum Age" mainly talks about "Charlotte Annoyance" and "King Kong".

It's just propaganda.

Of course, the focus must be on "Charlotte Annoyance".

after all.

"Charlotte Annoyance" needs more publicity now.

The other party did not deliberately snub Liu Shishi because of Lu Chen's arrival.

Instead, he wisely focused on Liu Shishi.

This is what Lu Chen is happy to see.

This is why Lu Chen accepted the interview.

Because the other party knows how to measure.

therefore.

Most of the other party's questions to Liu Shishi and Lu Chen were placed on "Charlotte's Annoyance".

"Mr. Liu, what is the reason for transforming from an actor to a producer? I heard it was because of Director Lu?"

Liu Shishi nodded and said: "That's right, because if I want my stardom to be smooth sailing, I have to work and act constantly, which will easily lead to our long-term separation. Gradually, it will be far away, and the problem of love will appear."

This is the truth,

This is also the reason why many celebrity couples in the entertainment industry have separated.

If you can't spend even a little time with me, then I might as well find someone who can really accompany me, no matter how good you are.

It's very simple.

"Then why do you want to be a producer?"

"Because I want to be Mr. Lu's producer. Besides, there are not many stars like me in the entertainment industry, and there are not many stars. Without Mr. Lu, I can't be popular all the time."

Liu Shishi's words made Lu Chen laugh uncontrollably.

This is a bit of an exaggeration.

For a while, Lu Chen didn't know whether his wife was praising him or belittling him.

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

"Director Lu, did you ask Mr. Liu to transform because of a man's self-esteem?" the host asked.

The so-called self-esteem is troublesome,
I just don't want my wife to act in some more intimate scenes.

Lu Chen hasn't answered yet.

Liu Shishi took the initiative to say: "Actually, Mr. Lu is quite supportive of me. Although he doesn't like me acting in some intimate scenes with other men, he doesn't object to me continuing to be an actor."

"Did you guys forget that there is a substitute?" Lu Chen added: "When Shi Shi signed a contract with Tangren before, there were such clauses in the contract. There are substitutes."

Uh.

The host really didn't know how to answer Lu Chen's words for a while. Could this be the so-called fearlessness of being favored?

Although she also knew that Liu Shishi's transformation into a producer must be because Lu Chen didn't like Liu Shishi's intimate scenes with other male artists.

But absolutely unexpected.

Liu Shishi has always had a double since his debut, not to mention that all the intimate scenes are done by the double.

This trip was not in vain.

Another breaking point, the ratings of this issue of "My Platinum Era" are expected.

She knew that Lu Chen was petty.

But I didn't expect to be so petty.

A substitute has been arranged since Liu Shishi's debut.

However, the host did not continue to struggle with this issue.

Instead, he asked: "It should be difficult for an actor to transform into a producer, right?"

This is the consensus of the entertainment industry.

To become a producer, four conditions must be met.

The first point is to pick a book,
As the name suggests, to make a film, you must first have a script, and your script is directly related to the quality of the film and the budget.

Whether you want to make a war movie, a romance movie, a youth movie or a horror movie, you must have a direction. Whether you judge based on your dreams or the market, you must have a script first, right?

The second point is to find a ticket.

It takes money to make movies, a lot of money.

Therefore, the producer must determine the budget and benefits of the entire project from the very beginning, or find investors with the script outline and project plan.

Tell investors how awesome my film is, how perfect my script is, and the director I want to invite will get a statuette comparable to Qin Shihuang's terracotta warriors,

The number of fans of my male and female leading actors can be as low as 9 months and up to 99. Just post a Weibo like and forward number to get the Guinness record.

So my film will definitely make money!Boss, do you think it’s a joke to invest tens of billions of dollars first?
Or the investor has a budget and tells you that there is only so much money, and you shoot the film according to this budget.

The third point is to form a team.

With the script, there is the money.

The next step is to form a team, that is, the setting of the overall crew. A medium-sized crew can easily have hundreds of people.

The formation of such a huge team depends on the producers to finalize.

After the shooting team is set up and starts shooting, the work of the producer will be relatively lightened, and more work will be put on the director, but it is only relatively lightened, and the quality of the film, the progress of the shooting, etc. must be grasped. .

After the smooth shooting is completed, the post-production process is entered, and the producer also has heavy work to do.

In fact, it is more to prepare for the next step.

As for the last step.

is to sell films,
That is to say, publicity, publicity and distribution will play a decisive role in a movie.

In fact, the operation mode of film and television has changed now. Generally, the publicity and distribution will be involved in the shooting or even before the shooting. How to market, how to promote, how to hype, how to ensure the filming and even the dirty box office, etc. are all the producers need. involved in decision-making.

Although star is the closest occupation to these four categories.

But not everyone can be a producer.

"That's for sure, before I decided to become a producer. I studied with Jiajie for a long time!" Liu Shishi nodded and said: "Compared with being an actor, it must be the happiest actor. Being an actor is very trouble-free , As long as you shoot a character well, let everyone see a character with vitality and vividness, but the producer and producer will have many choices and choices, and the process is very cumbersome and hard.”

"What made you want to transition to becoming a producer?" the host continued.

"Mr. Lu told me before that as an actor, you will be under the control of the director for the rest of your life. Once you become a producer, you will not only develop in an all-round way, but also prolong your artistic life. To be honest, it is a joke that being an actor will be popular for a lifetime." Liu Shi Shi glanced at Lu Chen and said with a smile.

"Aren't you worried about failure?"

"With investment, there will be profits and losses, especially in the early stage of investment. Because of inexperience, you may lose more. But, don't I have Mr. Lu to protect me?" Liu Shishi said with some embarrassment.

Because Lu Chen had his back.

So she is not afraid of failure.

Of course, this sentence has another meaning. Lu Chen's screenwriting ability is very good.

This is recognized.

The script he has read, the chance of losing is very small.

The host looked at Lu Chen in surprise: "Director Lu, what do you think of the transformation of a star into a producer?"

Lu Chen smiled: "There are many reasons for a star to become a producer. For example, what is the main reason is to shoot the story in his heart. For example, sometimes when he sees a good novel, he has the urge to turn it into a good work. , I will have a sense of substitution, I will imagine myself as the heroine, and then I want to act when I have a picture. desired effect.

Or maybe I felt that there were some regrets in filming in the past. In some aspects, everyone would save money, so... Now that I am a producer, I hope to make up for these regrets. For example, like the urban aerial shots in TV dramas, I used to buy The picture, now I will ask the aerial photography team to take pictures by myself. "

After a pause, Lu Chen continued, "As for how to look at it, just sit and watch."

The host was obviously dissatisfied with the answer given by Lu Chen, and continued to ask, "Can you elaborate?"

After thinking for a while, Lu Chen said, "Let's put it this way, this has actually become the latest trend in the industry. Stars being film producers are beneficial to both investors and buyers. Stars can use their fame and influence to attract investors. Artists Generally have good network resources, you can invite friends in the circle to join.

Moreover, stars with a large fan base can also provide box office guarantees for their works.

In addition, once the work is successful, in addition to the film salary, the star's income from participating in the production will also increase. "

"What's the downside?" the host asked.

"The disadvantage is that it is easy to form a 'big guy center system'."

"Big star center system?"

Lu Chen explained: "Stars become famous and have the right to speak in the crew, so the phenomenon of stars acting as producers has been derived. It has certain advantages, but if the development is not good, it will result in a 'big star center system', There is a feeling that the entire industry is working for stars. Stars are both actors and producers. If they are not satisfied, they can change the script or stop acting. The director has nothing to do. A 'just cause'."

This is true.

Very simple logic.

Celebrities are indeed famous.

Fame leads the way.

But the production, distribution and other links are relatively professional, what should they do when they are newcomers?
Salad.

In fact, many celebrities in the entertainment industry are now producers just as a pretense.

Those who come forward are professional teams and film and television companies, which is equivalent to celebrities shouting in front, and the team behind them is responsible for doing things.

"So, is this why Liu Shishi retreated behind the scenes after preparing for transformation?" the host asked curiously.

"That's right!" Lu Chen smiled and said, "Actors and producers are definitely incompatible, just like production companies and brokerage companies! They want both, but the end result is that they don't get either."

In other words.

That is to say, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

The host said with some emotion: "Is this also the reason why you didn't participate in "Charlotte Annoyance"?" The host brought the topic back to the movie "Charlotte Annoyance": "The script of this movie is very Have you seen it before?"

Liu Shishi nodded: "If I participate in the role, I will be the center of the whole film. The screenwriter will add roles to me, and adding roles to me will compress the living space of other characters. Therefore, for the sake of the drama, I can only Choose not to participate."

"As for the script, Mr. Lu really hasn't read it. Director Yan and Editor Peng contributed to it all. Mr. Lu basically doesn't care about Mahua's affairs.

The script is also original by the two of them, not adapted from a novel. As far as I know, Peng Bian once made a very popular joke on Weibo. If one day you suddenly wake up and find yourself in a high school class, what happens now is nothing more than It's just a dream, my deskmate looks at you and calls you an idiot, the sun shines on you through the window, everything still has hope..."

This passage made Peng Peng feel deeply, and he missed his youth, and then created this play with his good partner Yan Director.

So in this play, we can see the fragment of Charlotte "traveling through time and space" waking up and returning to high school class. "

The host nodded.

"Actually, fans would rather see you in front of the stage than Shi Shi going behind the scenes." The host glanced at Lu Chen and said slightly.

these two years.

Lu Chen was often scolded by the little lions.

The reason for scolding him is also very simple, that is, they rarely see Liu Shishi online.

"The filming of "King Kong" has been completed, and we will be able to meet you soon," Lu Chen said.

"So Director Lu, did you let Shi Shi appear in "King Kong" out of compensation to Shi Shi's fans?" the host asked.

"This is just one of the reasons. The main reason is that Shi Shi likes this story." Lu Chen said truthfully.

"Can you tell us about this story? I heard from Director Lu that your "King Kong" is the Titanic of the East!"

To tell the truth, the Taiping wheel has turned.

At this time, everyone is stepping on it.

Of course she can too.

"As for the movie, everyone should go to the cinema and watch it for themselves. Even if I say it now, you will probably not believe it. As for whether it is the Titanic of the East, you have to go to the cinema to know. Of course, I This is not a big boat. It must be different from the big boat you imagined. What I mean by this sentence is that what I want to express is similar to what Kashen wants to express." Lu Chen explained.

He really didn't shoot big boats.

There are indeed ships in his movies, but they really have nothing to do with the big ships.

This is why Lu Chen was interviewed by the "My Platinum Era" program team.

Because many netizens subconsciously think that "King Kong" and "Taiping Wheel" he filmed have the same theme.

It's all about a story on a boat.

Therefore,
He had to clarify that King Kong had nothing to do with Titanic.

If we say that what the Titanic brought us is the sincere love between people that is more precious than the heart of the ocean.

So, what Lu Chen wants to bring to everyone is a timeless emotion that crosses races, a romantic elegy of love.

One of the biggest characteristics of King Kong is romance.

This kind of romance is not gray-haired you and me still holding hands.

Nor is it a romantic fairy tale about the prince's heart-thumping crush on Cinderella,

This is even if I am surrounded by enemies and the whole world is against me, I want to watch the sunset with the woman I love.
This is the flower that blooms in the ruins for the beloved woman with life.

This kind of romance not only has the atmosphere of singing and drinking while soldiers are approaching the city, but also has the romantic beauty of prince and princess flower wedding dress.

It has to be said that the romance of this ancient beast cannot be imitated by almost all men, even tough guys.

Little Fresh Meat can't.

Another thing about Lu Chen's version of King Kong that fascinates thousands of girls is his disregard for the one he loves.

In order to save An, it fought desperately with several dinosaurs, holding An in its palm no matter how dangerous it was. He ignored human traps, weapons and killing, just to see his beloved woman.

When writing this episode.

Lu Chen remembered Li Yunlong's affectionate, righteous and manly side in bombarding Ping'an County in order to save Xiuqin when he was watching Liangjian.

I think of the poignant story of Liang Zhu's transformation into a butterfly.

If King Kong becomes human,

Lu Chen estimated that it was the combination of the Overlord of Western Chu, Sima Xiangru, and Li Yunlong.

How many girls will not fall in love with King Kong?
simply put,
There is a clear difference between Lu Chen's "King Kong" and Kashen's "The Titanic".

"King Kong" wants to express romance.

And "Titanic" expresses love, life and death, and disaster.

Standing on the bow facing the sunset, Ruth opened her arms, as if embracing rebirth and love.

This clip of Jack standing behind him has been recognized as a classic of classics.

After watching this scene, people will feel that if there is love at first sight in the world, it must be Jack and Ruth. If a person is to believe in love, then he must go to see Jack and Ruth.

Some are similar, but not all.

It's more of a tribute, of course, it depends on how the fans understand it.
