Chapter 134 Am I a Godfather?
Studio No. 2 of Beijing Film Studio
Currently the largest studio in Asia

The movie "The Promise" is being filmed here.

"President Han, Director Lu!" Chen Hong stepped forward to greet the two big bosses of the film company.

As the wife of director Chen Kaige, Chen Hong also played a role in the movie "The Promise" and is also a film producer. In this movie "The Promise", the two husband and wife have worked hard.

It is bound to break the box office record of "Let the Bullets Fly" in the mainland.

It also has box office records for Chinese-language movies around the world.

The movie "The Promise" gathers Chinese, Japanese and Korean stars.

The goal is also the global box office.

Now Chinese-language films have received more attention internationally because of the director Lu Chen.

Chen Kaige and his wife still have full confidence in "The Promise".

Currently "The Promise" is a pure Chinese film with the largest investment.

"Inception" invested more than [-] million U.S. dollars, more than [-] million. Although it is much higher than "The Promise", "Inception" cannot be regarded as a pure Chinese film.

The production company has Universal Films, and the male lead is international movie star Leonardo, so it can only be regarded as a Sino-US co-production.

So the movie "The Promise" did not start filming, and it has already broken a historical record.

"Director Lu, let's go to the shooting site first." Han Shanping brought Lu Chen to the shooting site, accompanied by Chen Hongzuo, and asked the crew to bring chairs.

These two are already big names in the film industry.

Needless to say, Han Shanping.

The investor of the movie "The Promise".

Lu Chen, the No.1 young director in the world.

And Lao Chen's goal is to break the record set by Director Lu.

"President Han, Director Lu, you are here." Chen Kaige put down the earphones.

"Director Chen, you continue to direct, let's take a look first." Han Shanping looked at Lu Chen, "Director Lu, let's wait for Director Chen to finish directing this scene first, and you can also give me your opinion."

This time, Lu Chen came to visit the class.

I just want to hear his opinion on the movie "The Promise".

Director Lu said before that he had no money, so he couldn't vote for "The Promise", but Han Shanping always felt that there was more than one reason, which made Han Shanping feel uncertain.

Movie investment is too big.

Anyway, it will definitely break the record.

Or box office records.

Or it's the worst movie in history.

Victory and defeat.

will cause a sensation.

"Okay." Lu Chen had already pushed off today's affairs.

As for the movie "The Promise", I don't like it.

I thought that the actors in the movie "The Promise" would be different from the previous life, but I didn't expect the actors to be the same.

Chen Kaige is too petty.

The investment is so big.

The actors invited were a little short.

Chinese film stars such as Nicholas Tse, Zhang Bozhi, and Liu Ye have acting skills and fame, but they still can't support the stage of big-budget movies.

At least Ge You, Zhou Runfa and other movie stars.

Of course, Chen Kaige also wanted to invite him, but Ge You was going to shoot "The Banquet", Zhou Runfa was filming "Wu Shuang" and "Let the Bullets Fly" by Director Lu, and he must rest.

Including Gong Li filming "Let the Bullets Fly" also need to rest.

Chen Kaige also had no choice. The top Chinese movie stars were all used by Lu Chen in "Let the Bullets Fly", and because "Let the Bullets Fly" achieved good results, they had to rest for a while.

As for the movie "The Promise", the actors with the most roles are not Chinese movie stars, but Japanese and Korean actors Zhang Dongjian and Sanada Junyuki.

With the addition of these two, the actor's reputation is still a little bit worse.

Such a shame for such a big investment.

As for the actors, Chen Kaige also has difficulties. Not only Huaguo Film Group, but also Japan and South Korea invested in the investment. It is impossible not to use their actors.

If this junior is willing to vote, he won't be restrained, and he can also invite top Chinese movie stars to act.

"President Han, Director Lu, water." Chen Hong brought two bottles of water, and the director's wife served them herself.

Chen Kaige continued to direct.

"Director Lu!" At this moment, Guan Xiaotong's parents came over with their daughter in their arms.

The couple are very grateful to Director Lu.

Invited her daughter to participate in "A Family of Thieves" and made her debut at the Cannes Film Festival.

Let her daughter become the most popular child star in the Mainland.

And Guan Xiaotong is here today, because he also participated in "The Promise", playing the role of "Little Qingcheng" in it.

Lu Chen smiled at Guan Xiaotong's family of three.

"Xiaotong, do you want Uncle Lu to hug you?" Mother Guan asked her daughter.

Guan Xiaotong's parents.

I want Director Lu to deepen his impression of his daughter.

In this way, there is a suitable role and I can think of my daughter.

"Hmm~" Guan Xiaotong nodded and said, coming to Lu Chen.

"This..." Lu Chen had no choice but to hug her with both hands. Fortunately, he is only a few years old now. If he is older, it will be a little awkward to hold him.

"Director Lu, how about I let Xiaotong recognize you as a godfather?" Father Guan suggested, also helping his daughter hug her thigh as soon as possible.

"And for your daughter, just call me brother." Lu Chen was different from some bigwigs in the film industry, he didn't like raising a daughter, and he didn't like being called uncle either.

It's better than brother.

Not bad seniority.

You have to keep a hand for the future, right? You can't gamble to death on the way forward in the future.

"Brother~" Guan Xiaotong shouted, his voice was very childish.

Lu Chen had no choice but to comply.

"Xiaotong, auntie, come and give you a hug." Chen Hong stepped forward to pick up Guan Xiaotong, and also called Guan Xiaotong's parents away, expressing that he had something to discuss.

Actually it's nothing.

Just let Guan Xiaotong's family of three not disturb Director Lu Chen.

It can be seen that Guan Xiaotong's parents want to please Lu Dao, but now is not the time, Lu Dao has more important things to come here.

"Director Lu, you not only like girls, but also little girls." Han Shanping joked.

"Mr. Han, it's enough to please the girl, and forget about the rest." Lu Chen smiled and waved his hands.

At this time.

Chen Kaige has already directed this scene.

Come to this side.

And Zhang Bozhi, greeting Director Lu Chen.

Lu Chen and Zhang Bozhi had met once. In this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, Zhang Bozhi defeated "Wu Shuang" Zhang Jingchu and won the Best Actress Award.

"Old Chen." Chen Hong also came over at this time, and he had told Guan Xiaotong's parents not to come over to disturb Director Lu, "After today's filming, we will go to the city to have a meal together, Mr. Han and Director Lu, please let us as a husband and wife There is a chance to sit east."

"Okay." Lu Chen agreed.

"Director Chen, let Director Lu take a look at some of the footage later." Han Shanping reminded, so that Director Lu could better give his opinions.

Director Lu Chen's control over business.

It has been tested by the market.

recognized by a broad audience.

Otherwise, the two Huaying brothers would not spend 1000 million yuan to invite Lu Chen to be the producer of the movie "The Banquet", just because they wanted Director Lu to be able to watch the movie the whole time and ensure the commerciality of the movie.

But the 1000 million failed to impress Director Lu, and the request of the second brother was rejected.

But this time Han Shanping invited Lu Chen over, he didn't spend any money, and only had a meal.

Of course it costs money.

Han Shanping is more willing.

The investment is so big.

Taking out 1000 million is nothing.

It's a pity that Director Lu didn't have time, so he could only invite him to visit the class and come to see it for a day.

Lu Chen understood now that Han Shanping had pulled him into a strong position.

There will be no opinions in my heart.

Anyway, it's just a day.

Besides, Han Shanping and Chen Kaige still have to give face, but investment is not enough.

"Then I'll arrange it, Director Lu, what restaurant do you like?" Chen Hong picked up the phone and was about to make a restaurant reservation.

"Whatever." Lu Chen has no taboos, "Mr. Han, after this meal, I have to go abroad to watch the post-production of the movie "Inception", I don't know when I can drink again next time. "

say this.

It also means that there is only one day.

Don't make yourself a strong man for a few days.

"Director Lu, come back from abroad, call me, I'll pick you up, we'll have a drink then." Han Shanping said with a smile, knowing that Director Lu is busy and only has today.

"Okay, no problem." Lu Chen came back from abroad.

We are going to shoot the modern military drama "Soldier Assault".

This is the task assigned above.

It must be done well.

A good shot, satisfying the higher-ups, is quite beneficial to my future career.

……

November 2004

Southern Yunnan Province, Southern Yunnan Military Region
"Soldier Assault" crew

Lu Chen stayed abroad for half a month, communicating with the post-production team of "Inception" to clarify the main issues of the film.

Then he returned to the country.

Impossible to keep staring at.

The post-production work of "Inception" is estimated to take three months to complete. This is also with the strong support of Universal Pictures, which is already considered efficient. Otherwise, it may take more than half a year.

There are a lot of special effects shots in the movie, which is very time-consuming.

Also, "Inception" is not considered a blockbuster with special effects, otherwise the post-production time would be longer.

"Brother Lu, why are there no reporters today?" Wang Baoqiang looked around, there were no reporters, and no bigwigs in the film and television industry.

I remember the launch ceremony of "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Inception", how many bigwigs from the film and television industry and media reporters came, but I didn't see any of them today.

"No reporter, this time the launch is a secret launch." Of course it can't be regarded as a secret launch. There have been rumors outside that Director Lu is going to shoot a TV series.

It's just that people don't believe it.

feel impossible.

In addition, Lu Chen himself did not admit it.

This news has been dismissed as a rumor.

Lu Chen didn't come out to admit it, he wanted to finish filming "Soldier Assault" and then come out to admit it, which would cause a big sensation. Taking advantage of everyone's curiosity, how could the Golden Bear and Palme d'Or award be made into TV dramas.

At this time, arrange for "Soldier Assault" to be launched on Yangma's set.

This is called striking while the iron is hot.

Take an unusual step.

Generally, the works are promoted before they start shooting.

For example, the previous "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Inception" had already attracted a lot of attention before filming started.

"Soldier Assault" is going the other way, and the news has been blocked in the early stage.

"Secret start?" Wang Baoqiang was puzzled.

"Xiao Lu!" At this time, Mr. Lu, accompanied by Secretary Liu, came to this side.

Lu Chen stepped forward to greet him. As for the secret boot, the reporter was not notified. There was another reason. Mr. Lu was coming, and when Mr. Lu came, it was not easy for reporters to be present.

"Old Lu?" Zhang Ze recognized him at a glance.

The boss has always said that "Soldier Assault" directed by Lu Dao has received support from above.

Didn't expect it to be Mr. Lu?
The famous commander.

No wonder, the winners of the Golden Bear and Palme d'Or can lower themselves to direct TV dramas and get unconditional support from the Southern Yunnan Military Region.
