Huayu, my wife, I support myself

"Boss, are you too powerful?"

Hu Quan looked up at Lu Chen, but Lu Chen smiled and said, "Songs, that's all. You, the director of the music department, need to find a way to find music producers, or let them write it themselves, anyway. I don't care, because these few songs are enough to consume their popularity for the next half a year or even a year..."

"Don't worry, boss."

Hu Quan smiled: "I'll go back and arrange for them to practice singing. When the album is released, boss, remember to advertise them on Weibo."

"I said you can't stop staring at me?" Lu Chen said speechlessly.

There are so many artists in the company, and they are relatively strong artists.Advertisement for these trainees is definitely enough, there is no need to stare at Lu Chen.

Say.

Lu Chen's enthusiasm is not so wasted.

Although the level of this group of people is not bad.But there is still a gap compared to professional.

"Transformers" and the like can be regarded as real science fiction, and there is not a single movie like this until now.

After finishing these things.

Lu Chen gave him two high-quality songs.

The story of "The Wandering Earth" gave up the story of individual heroes, but amplified the Chinese people's feelings for the land—when the earth is in crisis, the stories of Westerners often change to another planet, and our idea is to bring Running around the earth, this is our own romantic and sci-fi narrative.

"Tomorrow's War" not only has no breakthrough in the concept of science fiction, it can be said that any setting has been mentioned in one stroke,
Moreover, the Ugly Army aliens were replaced by "our brothers" that Xiangcheng Films is good at, and a few policemen beat the aliens. These, coupled with the rough script, make the quality of the movie difficult to describe.

"I like Hou Yao."

The music world is indeed paying attention to this matter, because everyone knows who is standing behind Tianchan's team.

Just give me some songs, Tang Lei is already famous now.As long as a new song is released, there are countless fans supporting it.

……

Therefore, they can only be idols for a long time to come.

Especially after Lu Chen and the others are going to add a threshold to the profession of actors.

Although he can't sing, every song he creates can trigger the carnival of countless fans.

Lu Chen has been making movies for so long, and he has made many types of movies.

Besides.

It's not that they are headless, but even if their heads are hard, there are times when their heads are broken. There are already quite a few big-name singers who have fallen in front of Lu Chen.

These themes have been finished long ago. Aren't "Independence Day" and "Terminator" all from more than 20 years ago?

If you take away the sci-fi shell, this film is still the core of a gangster movie. Compared with normal gangster movies, the plot is very simple, it is a story of a black policeman.

As Lu Chen's entertainers, they will only have higher requirements for them. It is basically impossible to imagine that they can play some roles after just a few training courses like in the previous life.

At that point, there were enough works.

Actually strictly speaking.

However, it still has advantages,

The name is "The Wandering Earth".

actually not.

Let me talk about "Tomorrow's War" first,
"Tomorrow's War" belongs to the sci-fi blockbuster that fights against aliens, and in the end it is the aliens that do not exist on earth.

It's just that this film is a bit too bloody, so Lu Chen doesn't like it very much.

As for Tang Lei.

Lu Chen likes "The Wandering Earth".

The audience can pay for the feelings of domestic sci-fi films, but apart from supporting the development of domestic sci-fi films, sci-fi films that conquer the audience must have their own unique features.

This is also the reason why Western sci-fi movies are increasingly unable to grab the market in China.

Lu Chen also watched "Save Love".

……

You know, Lu Chen has always been calm.

As for "The Wandering Earth".

"Wait, Tang Lei is going to release a single? Is Lu Chen still writing the lyrics?"

Traffic password?
Didn't you see Shen Teng coming to the back of the national teacher to fight against the box office?

On Weibo,
Jiaxing Media's official Weibo posted a video of the 'Tianchan' team waiting to record the song.

In addition to the imaginative scenes contributed by the film and television industry, these alien blockbusters are actually far inferior to the sci-fi concepts such as "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "Arrival", "Annihilation" and "Contact the Future". The sci-fi script is high, and "Contact the Future" is actually nothing Hard technology support is nothing more than the use of the now collapsed Arecibo radio telescope.

Speaking of "The Wandering Earth".

"Jiaxing Media is finally going to release an album for the Tianchan team. No, it should be said that the Tianchan team will have a new album. To be honest, the resources of the Tianchan team, I believe that there are no second-tier stars in the entertainment industry who are not envious. Yes, the resources that Jiaxing Media poured into them are really great."

estimated.

Although Lu Chen doesn't have a popular music scene, there are legends about Lu Chen circulating in the music scene.

Lu Chen appreciates that sentence: "In the face of disasters, Westerners say Noah's Ark, while our ancestors say Jingwei reclaims the sea and Yugong moves mountains."

The biggest problem with this movie is the script. Comedy and sci-fi are not well combined, especially the sensational scene at the end. Many netizens generally don't like it. After all, it is too similar to a "Spring Festival Gala sketch".

This is Jiaxing Media's current confidence.

But when the decent squad headed by Gu Tian confronted the big villain played by Zhang Jiahui, they didn't create enough dramatic conflicts, and all the space fell on the mech battle.

How to break it is nothing more than that the previous movies were about the individual heroism of the Ugly people to save the earth, but now it is the Hua people who stand up to save the earth.

Of course, Tang Lei's identity is there, and he can't sing casually, at least he has to be worthy of his identity.

After continuing to maintain the popularity for a year or two, Tang Lei no longer has to post songs.

And everyone knows Jiaxing Media's purpose.

As the initiator of this proposal, Lu Chen certainly would not allow these people to tarnish their reputation.

"Maybe with the strong support of Jiaxing Media, there will be some singers among them."

What tricks can you play?
Although Lu Chen is not good at sci-fi, he also understands that the key to making this kind of movie is to establish sci-fi philosophy and sci-fi logic.

Still the same sentence, because "Lonely Moon" has a romance that belongs to us alone. Simply put, "Lonely Moon" aroused empathy from the audience.

The story of this movie is also very simple.

"Thunderbolt Beibei" received an investment of less than 50 yuan at the time. Even in the 1980s, this film investment can only be regarded as a small and medium cost.

And "Tomorrow's War" did not.

Netizens don't know the specific content, but Director Guo said in an interview that this film will receive investment from Jiaxing Media and some other resources.

When talking about science fiction films today, the word "burning money" may be the first thing filmmakers think of.Audiences have become accustomed to the bombardment of visual effects of Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters such as "Avatar", "Transformers", and "Avengers". Can sci-fi films without big scenes attract the audience?
However, in 1988, a small and medium-cost domestic science fiction film "Thunderbolt Beibei" surprised the Chinese people.

It can be said that "Thunderbolt Beibei" is a sci-fi movie with advanced concepts. It uses the setting that Beibei can emit electric current to construct a story full of childishness.

and so.

The success of "Lonely Moon" can be said to be quite normal.

That is to build the strongest boy group in the country.

Before "The Wandering Earth" was proud, this movie was the most acclaimed science fiction movie.

But Lu Chen has never touched sci-fi movies.

The sci-fi concept and sci-fi creativity of this movie are stronger than "Tomorrow's War".

Why did "War of Tomorrow" lose?

The answer is actually quite simple.

Simply put, the quality of the song should not be too low.

"I like Yuan Luo's voice. Although the other members of the Tianchan team are not bad, I like Yuan Luo's voice better."

"New album?"

no way.

Therefore, they still fell short of Lu Chen's requirements.

It is a sci-fi concept that people played 30 or [-] years ago, and the sci-fi script has not made a breakthrough. It is even worse than "Independence Day" and "War of the Worlds". After all, there is an ugly country at its peak behind it. The ugly army supports.

After all, it is in everyone's mind.

It is estimated that many post-80s and post-90s audiences are very impressed with this movie.

It is said that they teamed up with Director Guo to create Huaguo's first sci-fi movie.

The probability of Lu Chen and their proposal being passed is as high as 90.00%.

"I only pay attention to Tang Lei's new song."

If you insist on sci-fi movies, it can be said to be comedy sci-fi movies.

However, Lu Chen himself really didn't pay much attention to these things. After returning home, he also read the news in this regard.

Lu Chen watched this film when he was in elementary school. At that time, it felt super fresh. There were aliens in it, and he really wanted to get that jadeite.

These movies are good, but not hard sci-fi.

Lu Chen cleaned up briefly, and then went home to cook for his wife.

The exploration and experimentation of China's domestic science fiction began a long time ago, and despite the difficulties, it has never stopped.

The undefeated god of war in the director's circle, at this time, stretched out his hand to science fiction, obviously.He is really sure to open the door to science fiction movies in Huaguo.

Before that, there are many excellent and outstanding works among them, which are worth mentioning and remembering.

On the contrary, "Tomorrow Wars" is basically useless except for its technical level, old-fashioned sci-fi concepts, sci-fi expressions and scripts.

"In the column of lyrics and composition, I saw the name of Lu Chen's partner. I suddenly felt that the music world was about to shake up again. You must know that the songs written by Lu Chen basically dominate the charts."

In addition to this one, there is also "Magic Emerald".

It is currently difficult to surpass Hollywood from the technical level, and the story level can be a breakthrough.

Domestic sci-fi films should serve Chinese audiences, that is, use Huaguo's cultural core to tell Chinese local sci-fi stories.This is actually one of the success points of "The Wandering Earth".

And announced the news that the new album was ready to be produced, especially when it was learned that there were songs written by Lu Chen, it aroused the attention of countless fans.

As for "Lonely on the Moon".

"The Wandering Earth" is such a romance.

In recent years, domestic sci-fi films have been catching up with Hollywood in the technical aspect of visual effects, and have also made great breakthroughs.

The alien fleet has shields.

Although something like "Lonely Walking on the Moon" is not strictly a hard science fiction.

The goal is to open the door to science fiction films in Huaguo.

Very simple.

Of course it is not as good as Mr. Liu, there is only one Mr. Liu in the whole of China, and there are not even a few sci-fi masters like Mr. Liu in the whole of Asia, including island countries.

The grandson also caused many people to have no impression.

As for Lu Chen.

This news directly shocked many people. Some people think that Lu Chen finally can't help but want to start with sci-fi movies?
To know.

Its advantages are special effects and Huaguo's first mecha action scene, and those who support it are just for fun.

"Thunderbolt Beibei" was produced by Huaguo Children's Film Studio in 1988. The origin of the story is that the screenwriter's BJ in winter is always troubled by static electricity, and wearing a sweater in dry winter will always generate static electricity. It will hurt.

To say the script is good or bad,
In fact, from Lu Chen's point of view, "Lonely Walking on the Moon" and "Tomorrow's War" are basically the same.

Judging from the effects presented in the movie, it is easy to find that the concept and aesthetics of this project actually existed before the story.

30 years ago we had such fascinating sci-fi too.

"Ye Zhi's singing voice is also very nice."

"Tomorrow's War" also has the setting of alien monsters, and other settings such as environmental protection, natural disasters, and mecha fights.

In addition to the news on the Internet about his going to write songs for the Tianchan team and Tang Lei,
There is another news about him.

Such as "Thunderbolt Beibei".

Tang Lei's name and Lu Chen's name are absolutely very important to the music scene. Although he didn't write every song of his, he sang every song perfectly.

However, the excellent industrial level of the film is more in line with the sci-fi concept and sci-fi expression of the current Huaguo spiritual culture, and these are coupled with the existence of Shen Teng.

But why did he succeed, and "Tomorrow's War" failed?

This is the romance of our Chinese people.It is a romance that Western countries do not understand, or even do not understand.

of course.

Especially under the premise that domestic sci-fi film production experience is scarce, not to mention computer special effects, even the use of props and animation special effects is stretched.

The scripts are all bad.

"It's not so much that I'm looking forward to the new song of the Tianchan team, it's better to say that I'm looking forward to Director Lu."

In other words, the audience has already seen what good special effects and good sci-fi movies are like, so it is obviously impossible to satisfy the audience just by relying on visual effects that are slightly inferior to or equal to Hollywood sci-fi movies.

Therefore, the electric shock effect of "Thunderbolt Beibei" is basically performed by actors. The most attractive scenes of flying saucers and aliens in the film are the most expensive special effects scenes, but the overall effect is still very good. Visual spectacle.

But after all, Hollywood sci-fi films started many years earlier than domestic sci-fi films, and their technology is more mature, and they have produced excellent films in various story types.

"Terminator" is the grandmother's paradox. People from the future return to the present and change the causal rate. Simply put, children direct the combination of parents, and many stories arise from this.

"The legend of Lu Chen has started to circulate in the rivers and lakes again."

And "The King of Power".

"I don't know what level the song is this time."

therefore.

The original script was called "Electrified Children", and later the creators changed it to "Thunderbolt Beibei", which sounds louder and more attractive.

In fact, in Lu Chen's view, there are also problems in this area.

The funniest thing is that the kid's uncle thought that he got the power of the magic jade, so he directly let the heroine take off...

This movie is also good. It tells about an alien who doesn’t know what love is, so he goes to the earth to find love. Anyway, it’s a pretty poignant love story. In the end, the male protagonist becomes famous and the female protagonist is no longer needed. Later, the male protagonist’s eyes are blind. up...

In contrast, it is easy to cause injury.

But these issues are definitely not the core issues affecting the box office.

As for the difference in "Tomorrow's War".

It is such an ordinary natural phenomenon, the screenwriter thought that if there is a child who can generate electricity in his hands, how will his life be changed?
In this way, Beibei's story is extended.

In Lu Chen's opinion, this is the reason. Western individualistic hero movies, do we Hua people really like to watch them?

"The level should not be too high, but the melody should be very good. Simply put, it will be very pleasant to listen to. This is obviously the rhythm that Jiaxing Media wants to set a benchmark for. That's why they praise these people so much."

Good example.

Audiences who are accustomed to Hollywood sci-fi superheroes saving the world may find it difficult to get used to Iron Man's helmet opening, revealing a Chinese face.

Why is "Lonely on the Moon" a success?

Viewers who have watched "War of Tomorrow" all mentioned the problem of the plot in the comments.

After the film was screened in theaters, it has gained a good reputation, and it has been rebroadcasted on TV stations, leaving countless small audiences with good memories.

We know it's really fake, but it seems reasonable to fight aliens in the invincible Ugly Army of Blue Star, right?

There is no need for fine special effects or big stars, just a wonderful idea and a story full of childishness. Looking at it today, "Thunderbolt Beibei" still has a lovely atmosphere.

"Independence Day" and "War of the Worlds" still haven't figured out why the aliens came to destroy the earthlings. The earthlings are always opportunistic and combined with personal heroism to defeat the aliens, especially in "War of the Worlds" where the aliens come to suck the blood of the earthlings , and ended up being inexplicably killed by a virus on the earth, which is quite funny when you think about it carefully.

A sci-fi film without high-cost investment, big stars, and special effects.

So much so that when Lu Chen wrote a song for someone's new album, some big-name singers in the music world subconsciously avoided it.

"Look forward, look forward to look forward to."

I have to mention another negative example, "Magic City Fortress".

"Magic City Fortress" was released after "The Wandering Earth".It was rated as closing the door of China's science fiction opened by "The Wandering Earth".

When talking about the creative process of "Magic City Fortress", the director kept talking about how difficult it is to do visual effects, how difficult it is to design spaceships, aliens, and confrontation scenes.

The film's problem, too, is its neglect of script and empathy.
