Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 394 394. The Gain Outweighs the Loss 【Subscription】

"How about giving you a few days off?" A week later, Lu Chen said with some distress for Tang Lei.

He wondered if his request was too high, and even after working on it for more than a week, he still hasn't finished the filming.

It rained for a week.

Tang Lei and the others couldn't take it anymore, so Lu Chen said that he wanted to give them a holiday.

At the same time, the staff of the crew are also given a holiday.

After all, energy is definitely not as good as exhaustion.

Work and rest.

"Don't worry, I can still hold on." Tang Lei, who was sitting next to Lu Chen with ginger tea, said, "It's okay, it's just that I have been soaking in water for several days, and my body is not used to it."

"You said it was useless."

Lu Chen looked at the medical staff beside him: "How is it?"

Of course, Lu Chen would not force the actors to shoot, let alone Tang Lei is still his good buddy.

Filming is important.

He also won't joke about the health of the crew.

of course,

There is nothing to say about those little fresh meats.

I didn't even bother to look at it, so I continued to shoot, but Tang Lei's is really different.

I really want to keep shooting.

really affect your health.

"It should be fine for filming." The medical staff suggested: "But I still suggest that he take a break to prevent his condition from getting worse. Can't we shoot other actors' scenes first..."

"Look, I said no problem."

Tang Lei got up: "I know my own situation, don't worry, I won't make fun of my body, such a role is not worth my life."

"alright."

Lu Chen was finally convinced.

As for whether we can shoot other actors first.

Sure can.

But that would affect the state too much.

After all, it has been polished for so long, if it is here, it will give up.

Then they come back to find their status, I don't know how long it will take.

"It's not a good shot."

"It's just not easy to shoot, so you have to hurry up."

"Too."

The process is already familiar by heart, so just come directly.

"Then let's start." Seeing Tang Lei's insistence, Lu Chen finally agreed.

I'm shooting for a day.

If you still can't figure it out today, then take a holiday.

Come back after a good rest.

"If something doesn't feel right, stop immediately and don't worry about the lens."

"Don't worry." Tang Lei nodded with a smile.

Lu Chen was noncommittal.

After all the departments were ready, Lu Chen called out skillfully to start.

Results are still tough.

Although the process is already familiar, there are too many links.

I want to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Still too difficult.

For example, the dinosaur model does not work well.

Adjustment.

Continue shooting.

The staff of the film crew are also used to this kind of thing, and everyone is carrying out operations in an orderly manner.

Just when Lu Chen was going to give up after taking the last shot.

A miracle happened.

There is nothing wrong with the dinosaur model, and there is nothing wrong with Yu Long's side.

The performance of the actors is also very good.

"Crack."

From Lu Chen's voice, it can be heard that he is definitely a little excited at this time.

"All departments report the situation."

Chen Hui immediately got up and went to confirm it himself.

soon.

He ran back and said, "All departments are fine."

"Then this is over." Lu Chen said excitedly.

"It's finally over."

Chen Hui also let out a long sigh of relief.

Lu Chen walked towards Tang Lei: "It's all right."

"good!"

"Send him to the hospital." Lu Chen didn't bother to listen to his explanation, so he arranged directly.

Lu Chen has been a director for so long, whether Tang Lei's performance just now was a physical reaction or acting.

He could still see it.

"Okay." Tang Lei didn't refuse either, but he still added: "I really didn't do it on purpose, it's just at the right time."

"okay."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Get ready to call it a day."

"There is a small problem with the recording team."

"It's okay. In this environment, it's normal to have some small problems. As long as the realism of the picture is guaranteed, we can make up for this small regret later."

the next day,
Under the inspection of Lu Chen and Chen Hui,
There was still a small problem with the recording team of the footage shot yesterday.

It is indeed a small problem.

Therefore, Lu Chen didn't care too much.

……

After a simple check.

Lu Chen also took a vacation for himself. During this time, it wasn't just the actors and crew who worked hard.

As a director, he also worked very hard.

Also have a good rest.

When resting at home.Lu Chen received a call from his wife.

On the phone, Liu Shishi also said with a long sigh of relief: "My side is finally over. Sometimes I really feel that being a producer is far more tiring than being an actor. An actor only needs to shoot the show well." , and the producer has to control everything."

"You have to learn to let go." Lu Chen said with a smile.

From Liu Shishi's tone, Lu Chen could also hear it.

During this period of time, she has made great progress.

He was able to really suppress Xu Guangtou and Wu Ying, although there were his reasons for this, but he was able to finish filming "I'm Not the God of Medicine" without any disturbance from the crew.

It is enough to show that Liu Shishi has grown a lot.

Faintly has the potential to become Boss Liu.

"this movie……"

Liu Shishi asked: "Are you going to let it go abroad?"

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "It's fine to put it in the country, it's unnecessary, it's not worth the loss."

This is the truth.

During this period of time, domestic directors seem to be keen to make films for foreign markets.

Although this is actually directly related to the current mainstream thoughts in the cultural and intellectual circles of Huaguo.

As some scholars have said: "The current dominant thought and knowledge vision in China is the so-called 'return to the world's mainstream civilization', which simply positions Ugly as a 'civilization'".

Therefore, no matter what viewpoints they hold, whether they are officials or individuals, they are all proud of the title of "international scholar" and of participating in international academic and cultural trade.

Against such a background, how can a filmmaker who is never willing to be lonely be exempt from vulgarity?It is natural for them to use Hollywood standards as their standard, and to be able to win international awards as their highest goal.

Their desire for an Oscar is actually no less than that of a court lady in the cold palace for the emperor's "luck".

Under the domination of such a mentality, it is self-evident that the movies they make will try their best to cater to whose taste.

Then, in the cultural and intellectual circles of Huaguo, why can such a trend of thought occupy the mainstream?
The answer of many people is: it has existed since ancient times.

Intellectuals in China have had a tradition of attaching themselves to the powerful since ancient times, needless to say in the feudal era,
"Learn literary and martial arts and sell them at the emperor's house",
This is still the case in modern times. The feature of dependence has never really disappeared, but it is only dependent on different dignitaries in different historical periods.

Now is the era of globalization, the boss of the Ugly Country is the most worthy of attachment, so everyone has tried their best to figure out the tastes of the Ugly people. No wonder some people speculated that the national teacher's "Hero" was specially filmed for Bush Jr.!
In fact, many films are not eligible for global release.

"Why, someone is looking for you?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

"That's it."

Lu Chen joked: "Do you think Wu Ying can beat the box office, or Yu Guangtou can beat the box office? They just want to use my name to make money."

"understood."

The formula of big cast + big IP = high box office is no longer effective in China, but it is quite effective in the international arena.

In other words, the big cast lineup is standard at the global box office.

Or the director is particularly powerful, such as the works of world-class directors.

Or the actors are particularly good.

Internationally famous movie stars and the like, such as Uncle Long and the others.

Or the ip is particularly powerful, such as Marvel Universe Movies.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to attract the audience to the cinema.

And now these publishing companies have come to their door, wanting to release "The Faithful Dog Hachiko" and "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

It was obvious that he wanted to use Lu Chen's name to cheat money.

now.

Lu Chen's name is quite valuable.

"The Faithful Dog Hachiko" is not bad.

As for "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

It is basically impossible to go abroad.

Let's put it this way, it's a blessing that "I'm Not the God of Medicine" can be broadcast, and it doesn't even matter if it gets international recognition.

It can be seen from the ending.

Such an ending does not cater to the mainstream social values ​​of Europe and the United States at all. The God of Medicine is a film that is completely local, down-to-earth, and reflects a certain social phenomenon in China, without so many messy fantasies.

The simplest example.

The answer can be found in "Parasite".

be honest.

In the eyes of Chinese people, films like Parasite have three wrong views.

Reflect social issues from the perspective of the bottom, but make value judgments from the perspective of the rich.

And for some unclear reasons.

The film lacked real in-depth thinking, and in the end it was shot in four different ways.

This is also the reason why Lu Chen stopped releasing this movie in China without even thinking about it.

If it is released,
Absolutely will be scolded.

As for whether it can be released, if they really want to release it.

The chances of Lu Chenjia and Guoshi persuading the film to be released are quite high.

However, still that sentence,.

no need.

And, let's be honest.

Although the story of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is deeper than other domestic movies.

But compared with similar foreign films, it is just scratching the surface.

The whole film does not portray any negative image of public power, and does not make any criticism of the current system. Instead, it vilifies pharmaceutical companies that have not violated any laws, and blames all problems on "poor diseases" and evil capital.

There is nothing wrong with writing a screenplay in order to pass the review, but can't you have a better idea?
There are poor people everywhere.

Poverty is not a characteristic of China.

As many little pinks have said, there are also people in Ugly Country who look down on diseases and medicines.

However, the prototype of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" - the deeper issues reflected in the case of Lu Yong, involving the medical system with Chinese characteristics, should also be presented for public discussion. So far, the classic villain is the evil capitalist.

Of course, if you continue to dig, you will definitely not be able to pass the trial, but because of this, the story of this film is finally reduced to a fairy tale where good and evil are clearly distinguished, and the good guys defeat the bad guys.

The intention is so shallow.

It's far from realism.

So, the movie is, at best, a bucket of reality-flavored popcorn.

"Your appetite is too big." Liu Shishi said with a smile.

"You have a big appetite and a big meal. Besides, this movie was made for the Chinese people to watch. The positioning is very clear. You can tell Guangtou Xu and the others to stop thinking about it."

"Don't worry." Liu Shishi nodded in response.

She still knows.

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" is far worse than "King Kong" and "The Truman Show".

If such a movie is released.

Although it will make money, it is consuming its own foundation.

consume too much,
It will only make foreign audiences feel that domestic films are becoming more and more rubbish.

The influence of domestic films abroad is relatively small, and their acceptance is relatively low.

If you really want to keep feeding people garbage, they will definitely feel worse and worse.

the next three days.

Besides resting, Lu Chen had to deal with some things.

the first thing.

That's the problem with Yu Kui's script. Now "Hachiko" has been released for more than half a month.

She's pretty much rested too.

So, I found Lu Chen again.

"The Faithful Dog Hachiko" created a domestic box office of 36 billion.

When the movie was first released.

Lu Chen didn't intend to let it go abroad, but later the publishing companies in other countries took the initiative to find him.

After Lu Chen thought about it.

Then let it go.

"The Faithful Dog Hachiko" is different from "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" is an out-and-out Huaguo-style story, while "The Hachiko" has the strength to move the world.

and so.

After "Hachiko the Faithful Dog" went abroad, it reaped more than one billion box office.

Especially on the island side.

This film has created a series of records.

Yu Kui passed through this wave,
It can be regarded as having accumulated a lot of fame in the world director circle.

At least many publishing companies and peers have remembered her name.

It is also officially a record created by going abroad because of "The Faithful Dog Hachiko".

and so.

Wu Ying just wanted to give away "I'm Not the God of Medicine" too.

Give me a break.

Lu Chen knew what happened to his daughter-in-law.

It is definitely not Liu Shishi who wants to bring "I'm Not the God of Medicine" abroad.

Because this is for Liu Shishi.

doesn't make much sense,

Moreover, Lu Chen has already said before that this movie will not go out.

and so.

The reason must be Wu Ying and Xu Guangtou.

Wu Ying's words.

It must be because of competition, Yu Kui is so fierce now, she definitely doesn't want to lose to Yu Kui.

As Yu Kui's senior sister, it must be difficult for her to accept the fact that she lost to her junior.

As for Xu Guangtou's words.

I definitely want to go abroad for a wave of major awards.

But it's a pity.

Not to mention the major foreign awards for this movie, even the major domestic awards, it is not necessarily that award.

Didn't get the original.

Regarding the ideas of these two, Lu Chen directly rejected them without hesitation.

After a few minutes.

Yu Kui ran over with her sneakers on.

When she received the news, she rushed over immediately.

"Boss, my script." Yu Kui spoke directly.

Looking at Yu Kui who was still breathing, Lu Chen shook his head helplessly.

Take out a script from the drawer: "It's ready, just waiting for you to get it."

Yu Kui laughed.

Looking down at the script given to her by her boss, Yu Kui was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Boss, I really want to shoot. If I really want to shoot, you have to be the producer for me."

"Of course." Lu Chen smiled.

Although Yu Kui is already well-known in the circle of world directors, she definitely cannot afford the ip of "King Kong".

therefore.

It is inevitable for Lu Chen to be the producer.

"That's fine." Yu Kui was not polite: "Then leave it to me."

past life,

"King Kong: Skull Island" is the second film in the "Monster Universe" series jointly created by Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.

It was released in 2017, with a global box office of 4.3 million US dollars.

The plot mainly focuses on the conflict between humans, King Kong and the island monsters.

The first is the conflict between humans and King Kong.

The film tells the story of an expedition team composed of explorers, soldiers, etc., going to Skull Island.

After arriving at Skull Island, the U.S. military led by Packard dropped a shock bomb on the island in the name of geological survey. The power of the bomb awakened the monster skeleton lizard underground.

King Kong, the king of the island, was annoyed, and the first battle began. The helicopter battle between King Kong and humans resulted in a disastrous defeat for the army.

Afterwards, a second battle was planned, using explosives and oil to burn King Kong, King Kong was seriously injured and fell to the ground.

He was rescued after being blocked by other landing personnel.

The second point is the conflict between humans and other monsters.

After the expedition team landed on the island, they encountered giant beasts such as the Lone Reef Bull Demon, the Long-legged Mother Monster, the Spore Praying Mantis, and the Small Skeleton Lizard.

The expedition team encountered the Lone Reef Bull Demon at the water's edge. Because the Lone Reef Ox Demon had a docile temperament and did not attack humans, the two sides did not conflict, and then left separately.

When the troops went to the bamboo forest, they were attacked by the long-legged female monster, and the ugly army finally shot and killed the long-legged female monster.

A lost ugly army encountered a spore mantis in the jungle, and was attacked and killed by a small skeleton lizard while attacking the spore mantis.

When the expedition passed the mass grave, it was attacked by a large skeleton lizard, and then burned to death by humans.

In the end, there is a battle between King Kong and other behemoths.

As humans dropped shock bombs on the island, several small skeleton lizards were blown up.

The skeleton lizard is fierce and brutal. In order to protect Skull Island, King Kong killed the small skeleton lizard that ran out from under the island.

When King Kong was drinking water, he was attacked by a swamp giant squid, and King Kong tore the swamp giant squid.

In order to save mankind, King Kong fought against the giant skeleton lizard, beat the skeleton lizard violently with a propeller, and finally pulled off the skeleton lizard's tongue.

The expedition team all returned to their homeland, and King Kong continued to guard Skull Island.

If they come to make this movie.

It must be changed.

The plot of the original "Skull Island" has flaws. Although the special effects of "Skull Island" are very shocking and the plot is very compact, compared with the previous "King Kong", the plot is slightly worse.

The appearance of each scene has a sense of abruptness, which cannot integrate the audience into it.

And every step of the adventure in "King Kong" gives the audience an immersive feeling.

In addition, there are emotional scenes.

Strictly speaking, "Skull Island" can only be regarded as a monster movie, while "King Kong" can be regarded as Beauty and the Beast.

The former can only give people a visual impact and sensory enjoyment, while the latter can make people more emotionally invested, especially when seeing King Kong and the heroine at the top of the building, King Kong's eyes are full of emotion like a man.

All in all, let's not talk about the controversial points.

Lu Chen felt that the movie "Skull Island" was still an excellent movie.

It is said on the Internet that Da Tiantian's only passing movie.

It seems to be talking about this.
