Huayu, my wife, I support myself

be honest.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is currently on the world film industry assembly line.

Can only be considered mediocre,

you could put it that way.

No matter from the level of foreign countries or from the level of domestic production,

This conclusion is accurate.

This can also be seen from its foreign box office data.

but.

This data is placed in the domestic film industry system, and it is a "giant system of conscience".

In the eyes of many viewers who are accustomed to watching Hollywood blockbusters, "Wolf Warrior 2" may have nothing but "patriotic feelings".

But in the eyes of "small town youths" who have not had much exposure to Hollywood blockbusters, this is Huaguo's "Marvel Universe".

Different aesthetics and different viewing angles lead to different evaluations of a literary and artistic work, which is normal.

But if there is a literary and artistic work that can trigger a public topic among the people, then we can judge that this work is closest to the greatest aesthetic common denominator of a society.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is such a movie.

The greatest contribution of "Wolf Warrior 2" to the society is not just creating a box office miracle and defending the honor of Huaguo film. Classes can participate in the same topic.

And we can clearly feel from "Wolf Warrior 2": the aesthetic gap between all classes in Huaguo is rapidly narrowing!
After so many years of development.

Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" has been upgraded to several grades in terms of vision, production level, film concept and even "patriotism". It can be said that all social strata, from elites to ordinary people, have been attracted to this topic, forming a nationwide discussion on film aesthetics.

After all, movies are not only entertainment or art, but also undertake the role of civilization awareness enlightenment, political awareness propaganda, and even public life education.

The divide between social classes, although not common, does exist.

For example, the topics that the intellectual elites who returned from studying abroad gather in the "wife's living room" are like "interstellar travel" to ordinary people in China.

Movies used to be a kind of aristocratic "entertainment", and some avant-garde artistic concepts including film artists are difficult for ordinary people to understand and accept.

Lu Chen remembered that he had seen such a news.

A well-known film artist once played a barber pretending to be a wealthy businessman in a movie. He created a series of image performances of "taking a razor to shave the blade on the tie", which caused complaints from the barber union.

It is said that more than 800 barbers surrounded the crowd to prevent audiences from entering the theater to watch movies.

Although this story happened decades ago,
But this does not mean that this gap no longer exists. To put it bluntly, this gap still exists, but it is not as insurmountable as before.

From 07 to the present.

What Lu Chen has been doing is to fill this gap, so that movies are no longer just a topic that a small number of people can participate in.

After such a long time, the gap was finally filled.

The only thing that makes Lu Chen feel a little uncomfortable is that.

It was not him, but Wu Jing, who completely filled the gap.

So far, "Wolf Warrior 2" has had more than 1.8 million movie viewers, and its box office has soared to nearly 70 billion.

Say without hesitation,

Created a new record for Chinese films.

If only domestic box office records are counted, none of Lu Chen's previous works can compare to this one.

Even the just-concluded "Jurassic Park 1" lost a lot in the face of "Wolf Warrior 2".

In terms of the number of viewers, "Jurassic Park" can't compare.

And this is not the final data of "Wolf Warrior 2".

Because the distributor of the film extended the show key to December 12.

Therefore, this number is still being refreshed.

What is it that attracts so many viewers into the cinema to watch this movie?

Some viewers said that the scene of holding the national flag was particularly shocking;
Some viewers said that things like the national flag and the passport of Huaguo are more powerful to the country.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is full of patriotic passion throughout, which is the most touching part of this film.

The relatively real evacuation of overseas Chinese in the movie made everyone feel the strength of Huaguo's national strength and its highly responsible attitude towards the people.

Against this real background, the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" with the evacuation of overseas Chinese as the clue can be said to be at the right time.

be honest.

Seeing the influence of "Wolf Warrior 2", Lu Chen was a little envious.

Although it has not reached the worldwide influence of "Jurassic Park", its domestic influence is definitely top-notch.

Just when everyone was resting.

"By the way, is this the reason why you want to build the "Conferred God" universe?" Tang Lei said, handing a bottle of water to Lu Chen.

"Probably." Lu Chen nodded slightly: "Whether it's "Jurassic Park" or "King Kong", the audience doesn't have a strong sense of identification with it."

"You don't call this strong?" Tang Lei said a little speechlessly.

"At least it's not as good as "Wolf Warrior 2", you can't deny that, right?" Lu Chen asked back.

"That's true. Whether it's "Jurassic Park" or "King Kong", or "Fast and Furious", there is a big sense of distance from traditional domestic films. If you really want to count, whether it's "King Kong" or " "Jurassic Park" is closer to the Hollywood blockbusters."

Speaking of this, Tang Lei sat next to Lu Chen, staring at Lu Chen straight in his eyes: "So, you want to create a movie universe labeled as a Huaguo?"

"It depends on everyone's efforts."

Lu Chen said, "I can't do it alone."

Tang Lei definitely didn't believe Lu Chen's words.

Seeing Tang Lei's expression, Lu Chen certainly knew what he was thinking, and explained: "It's not that easy to create a movie universe, it's even harder than getting a few super IPs."

In fact, many people confuse the movie universe with the series. Obviously, compared with the simple sequel, the concept of the movie universe is more grand, and the difficulty of creating is more complicated.

Even Hollywood has struggled to get it right, as evidenced by its difficulty.

But once the movie universe is created, its power and commercial value are very considerable, which is why major film studios and Chinese and foreign filmmakers have successively created it.

How can we truly call it a cinematic universe?

In Lu Chen's view, the movie universe is a movie concept with multi-dimensional and multi-dimensional character frameworks and plot stories to share or form a unified worldview.

The biggest feature is that multiple movies share the same worldview.

The difference between the movie universe and the sequel, taking the "Iron Man" series as an example, "Iron Man 1", "Iron Man 2", and "Iron Man 3" are standard sequel series;
"Iron Man", "Captain America", and "Thor" belong to the concept of the movie universe.

This is where the greatest difficulty lies. It is very demanding on the actors' film contract requirements, copyright requirements, long-term planning requirements for the entire universe, and capital support requirements.

In Lu Chen's opinion.

A universe movie must meet the following points to be considered a real movie universe.

The first is the most basic requirement, that is, the characters. The characters here are not only the characters in the movie, but also the actors themselves.

For example, taking the "Iron Man" series as an example, the role of Iron Man and Downey cannot be replaced.

Of course, this requirement is also true for sequel movies, especially for movie universes.

The continuity of the characters can not only generate continuous emotions with the audience, but also maximize the realization of a kind of empathy, and have a strong joint effect with the audience.

Second is relevance.

How to reflect that multiple movies share the same worldview is through relevance.

Marvel connects them together through easter eggs, and also through guest appearances between characters to make them closer to each other. This is the true concept of the movie universe.

This is also the most difficult point. At present, almost only the Marvel family has done a good job.

The third is to have a difference from traditional sequels, which is also a major difficulty.

The sequel only needs the continuation of the protagonist, while the movie universe needs a steady stream of characters to appear, and even separate from the previous protagonist, and then form an independent chapter.

It is precisely because of such difficulty that the development of the movie universe is extremely difficult.

Don't look at the slogans of "...movie universe" flying all over the country, but compared with the real movie universe.

Fart is not!

Take a good example.

Tang Detective series of movies.

It's obviously just a series of movies, but it's called a "movie universe."

Just say it's fake or not.

Lu Chen himself didn't dare to brag like that, and he didn't know how they dared.

In other words.

If the "Tang Detective" series is a movie universe, why is the "Ip Man" series not a movie universe?
how to explain?

That is to fool those audiences who don't understand, for those who understand.

Basically scoffing.

Say without hesitation,

Nowadays, there is no real movie universe in the country at all.

It's basically a series of movies.

Still the same sentence, if you insist that Tang Tan belongs to the series of movies, then Wang Jing can also say that his "Macao Fengyun" series also belongs to the movie universe.

According to the algorithm of the "Tang Detective" series.

To put it bluntly, "The Wind and Cloud of Macau" is far more similar than the Tang Tan series.

Because Gao Jin and Dao Zai appeared at the end of the film, both played by Zhou Gambler and Liu Tianwang, what did you think of?
That's right.

"God of Gamblers", "Man of Gamblers", "Sage of Gamblers" and "Sage of Gamblers on the Bund" are all in the same movie universe as Gao Jin. There are at least 10 movies in this count, far exceeding the current Tang Tan.

After listening to Lu Chen's explanation.

Tang Lei was slightly stunned, and then realized: "When did you decide to make this move?"

"If you think about it, let's go!" Lu Chen curled his lips and said, "After reaching this level, I will always be a little bit unwilling to retire like this."

"I knew it!" Tang Lei shook his head for a while. "Wouldn't it be too much to think of retirement at such a young age?"

"To be honest, I'm a little tired!" After a pause, Lu Chen said again: "That feeling of getting tired of eating meat!"

"Understood!" Tang Lei nodded slightly!

The tiredness that Lu Chen mentioned was not mentally tired or physically tired, but tired.

This feeling is the most incomprehensible!
Because this state cannot be adjusted in a short time.

I heard Lu Chen say that.

Tang Lei also patted Lu Chen's shoulder helplessly!

Didn't say anything!
Action is the best way to comfort!

Lu Chen has already helped him fulfill his dream, and now it's time for him to help his brother fulfill his dream.

What is Lu Chen's dream?
"The King of Directors!"

The Chinese film industry wants to grab the title of "Kingdom of World Movies", so of course Lu Chen also wants to grab the title of "King of Directors".

And now.

Lu Chen is only one step away from this title.

When Lu Chen decided to call Yu Kui to be the assistant director, Tang Lei actually understood that his good brother had already decided to retire.

if not.

There is no reason to hand over the team that I have built for 10 years to other people.

"You have made so many people, let us make you this time."

Tang Lei patted himself on the chest: "The "King of the World" must be yours, this time Kashen can't keep it, I said it."

Lu Chen didn't speak.

Hearing Tang Lei's words, he shook his head helplessly.

Some middle school students.

But he likes this feeling very much.

"Let's go crazy again." Lu Chen said casually.

"Director Lu, what do you call you? It should be us..." At this time, Yu Kui also came over: "Master, you don't regard me as an apprentice!"

Lu Chen just wanted to say that you are not my apprentice, so stop shouting.

Yu Kui interrupted, "Master, you can bear it. Without you, I don't know where I'd be at this time!"

"Okay!" Lu Chen nodded slightly.

Yu Kui is right, she should call herself master.

"This guy is right. You made us a success before, and now it's time for us to make you a success."

"Okay!" Lu Chen didn't refuse: "Then let me see your real level, don't just talk about it, in that case, don't call me master in the future, I can't afford to lose this person. "

"Don't worry." Yu Kui nodded immediately.

……

for the rest of the time!

The earthquake in the entertainment industry continues.

Countless idols, fresh meat, and Internet celebrities have suffered heavy losses!

no way.

I can't blame anyone, I just blame myself for not having real kung fu. If I had real kung fu, I wouldn't be called a little fresh meat, an idol, or an idol.

They have these titles on them.

Basically nothing!

Those who are really capable are not affected in any way at all, and they can just go to the research directly.

After taking the certificate, send it to a circle of friends.

Then you can boast that you are an actor or a singer in an open and aboveboard manner!
Officially out of the circle of Internet celebrities.

In addition to research!

There are two more important points in this reform of the entertainment industry.

Let me talk about the first point first.

salary limit.

In other words.

From then on, the era when a drama could earn hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions is gone forever.

The most severely injured by this restriction is still Xiao Xianrou, and all idols.

no way,
Whether it was before or now, those powerful factions simply couldn't earn so much money, even the bigwigs of national first-class actors!You can't make that much money either.

therefore.

Salary restrictions really have no effect on these people.

Without these senior bosses leading the opposition, the salary limit order was carried out relatively smoothly without much resistance at all.

Compared with the research and salary limit.

Another point of opposition is the loudest.

Restricted membership.

That's right.

This reform is also limited to membership.

In a word, the days when foreign celebrities wanted to continue to make money unscrupulously in China are gone forever.

The previous two points did not touch the interests of some bigwigs.

Only this.

It directly cut off people's money.

This is also the reason why the resistance to membership restrictions is so great.

Because there are too many bosses.

In addition, one-third of the bigwigs in the entertainment industry are foreign nationalities.

you could put it that way.

Most of those so-called Chinese lights are foreign nationals!This is also the most important issue that Lu Chen talked about with the top five!
compared to the other two points.

This is what Lu Chen likes the most.

Not at all!
This made the Big Five a little fussy. Although they knew that Lu Chen didn't like these foreign stars, they didn't expect Lu Chen to be so ruthless this time.

This is to cut off the money of these people.

They didn't say anything about one or two, but this was too much!It is no longer a dozen or twenty who can say clearly!
Well known.

Huaguo nationality is the most difficult to enter.

This is also the reason why these people's voices of opposition are so loud!
Because the nationality of Huaguo is not something you can get in whenever you want.

If you want to go, it's easy, simple and pleasant.

Come back!

Wait until I think about it!

Before the filming of "Jurassic Park 2" begins!Liu Yifei was also forced by Lu Chen to make a choice!

Either change it back, or he changes.

pick one of two!

In the end, after two days of thinking, Liu Yifei finally made a decision.

Change it back!
This is why Liu Yifei still stays in the crew of "Jurassic Park 2"!

"I have to say, your actions are a bit ruthless this time!" Tang Lei is quite clear about the online activities.

"Are you ruthless?" Lu Chen really didn't think: "The bigger the noise on the Internet, the more it proves the failure of the Chinese film industry?"

"Can this be related to the Chinese film industry?" Tang Lei was stunned.

"Do you think it's an honor for the Chinese film industry to be supported by a group of foreigners?" Lu Chen asked back.

This is also the reason why Lu Chen persuaded the bosses from the Huaxuan Department!
This is hitting yourself in the face!

I am also complacent.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, those bosses who had prepared various reasons to persuade Lu Chen were speechless.

Yes!

The existence of these people.

Are the current achievements of the Chinese film industry their own or foreigners'?

For a moment, the conference room became silent.

"Uh, if you say that, I'll... I'm speechless!" Tang Lei was also speechless in an instant.

"So, that's how you persuaded those bosses?" Tang Lei asked curiously.

"That's right!" Lu Chen nodded.

It's very simple.

For example, when they export culture to the outside world!Foreign reporters suddenly came up with this sentence: Is there no one in your country?How to get a foreigner to help you with cultural output!

Is the exported culture the culture of your country, or the culture of a certain country?

Embarrassing or not?
just ask!

Hearing what Lu Chen said, Tang Lei froze for a moment.

How embarrassing to be in this situation!
In the past, it didn't matter if Huaguo movies couldn't go anywhere, but now Huaguo movies are going to the world!I really can't say that this situation will not happen.

Tang Lei was having a hard time imagining what the bosses of the Hua Xuan Department would say when they encountered such a situation when they were dealing with other countries.

So embarrassing!
