If you are asked to make a graduation film, you will win the Golden Bear Award?

Chapter 160 40 billion!
Peking, Star Beauty Cinema
The movie theater under Huaguo Film Group.

"Director Lu!" Han Shanping and Chen Kaige greeted him personally at the door.

Lu Chen brought Gao Yuanyuan here together, and it was convenient for him to have many companions around him.

"President Han, Director Chen, Mrs. Chen." Gao Yuanyuan called out respectfully.

If there is no director Lu.

With his own level in the film and television industry.

I can't see these three big names in the film industry in front of me at all.

"Director Lu, let's go inside quickly." Chen Kaige's wife, Chen Hong, said inside.

Gao Yuanyuan held Lu Chen's hand intimately and went in together.

A group of five people.

Come to Hall [-] of the cinema.

The movie "The Promise" has been produced.

The later work is also done well.

Got the dragon mark.

It has also been set.

It will be released in theaters nationwide on May 5.

As a movie invested by a film group, it can still get a good schedule.

"Now that "Inception" has been released for more than two weeks, it has already earned a box office of 5 million US dollars in Europe and the United States." Chen Kaige said with envy, "Director Lu, you have created the myth of Chinese-language movies, surpassing our predecessors , leaving us far behind.”

I am really envious.

5 million US dollars!

Convert over.

More than 40 billion!

What a horrible number.

Just ask.

Chinese director.

Who has this result.

And that's just over two weeks at the box office.

And only in Europe and America.

Asia except China.

It has not yet been released in other countries.

Due to the popularity of "Inception" in the world, Japanese and Korean audiences are waiting impatiently.

Many Japanese and Korean movie fans also expressed their dissatisfaction on the Internet.

Japan and South Korea will be released one month later in China. Why not release them together in China, or at the same time as Europe and the United States? This is not to look down on the Japanese and Korean film markets.

Of course, Lu Chen ignored these voices. Although there are a lot of Japanese and Korean movie audiences, they are not the most important movie ticket holders, and they really don't pay attention to them.

"Director Lu, now you are regarded as a god by fans of Chinese-language movies." Han Shanping was excited when he spoke.

Huaguo Film Group is also one of the investors in the movie "Inception".

This time I made a lot of money.

He also earned enough fame.

Chinese-language films have achieved such excellent results around the world.

There is also light on the face.

The higher-ups were also satisfied, and greatly praised themselves.

"Mr. Han, you're flattering me again." Lu Chen was also in a good mood, and the global performance of "Inception" was even better than he imagined.

I also saw the strength and experience of the established film production company, Universal Pictures in distributing films.

on global film distribution.

No company in China can have this experience.

This time, Mars Film and Television (Overseas) Co., Ltd. is co-distributing with Universal Pictures.

Although Universal Films occupies a dominant position in global distribution.

However, Mars Films (Overseas) has also learned a lot from Universal Pictures.

And this time, it is mainly to learn from the experience of global film distribution.

"Director Lu, you are too modest. Even director Zhang Yingmou, your senior brother, is envious of your achievements." Chen Kaige knew in his heart that the fifth generation of directors like himself became famous in the last century.

There is no one who does not envy Director Lu Chen.

Previously, "Let the Bullets Fly" broke the historical record of the foreign film "Titanic" in China and became the top box office champion in domestic history.

Then "Inception" swept the world.

Each one is more successful than the other.

And it far exceeds the previous one.

Other people's progress is like walking, taking one step at a time, but Director Lu is a complete somersault cloud, walking a hundred and eight thousand miles forward.

Chen Kaige thought, if "The Promise" can finally earn 5 million US dollars in the global market, he will have to wake up in a dream.

Unfortunately, this is almost impossible.

"Levelless" does not have top international big names.

Starring stars are all from Asian countries.

Unlike "Inception" male number one Leonardo, who is considered to be the most famous male movie star in the world, and the French national goddess played the second female number one.

The movie camp is quite luxurious.

And last year's Cannes actor Fan Wei.

Compared with "Inception", the lineup of "The Promise" is simply poor. It is really a pure Chinese film that violates the maximum investment.

Moreover, director Lu Chen became famous all over the world with "Inception".

The films he will direct in the future will not require a top international movie star like Leonardo. With the signature of director Lu Chen alone, he can still achieve good results in the world.

Nowadays, many movie fans around the world regard "Inception" directed by him as a masterpiece, and will only recognize the brand of director Lu Chen in the future.

This made those well-known Chinese directors drooling with envy.

How I want to have a group of loyal fans all over the world like Director Lu.

"Director Chen, let's watch the movie quickly." Han Shanping also regretted "Inception". He invested 4000 million US dollars in the Huaguo Film Group.

Due to the investment in "The Promise", there are other film investment tasks.

Only $2000 million was invested.

How much less money does this have to make.

At that time, it would be great if Chen Kaige didn't make "The Promise", and the money could be invested in the movie "Inception".

But history has no ifs.

Now betting on "The Promise", I definitely hope that "The Promise" will achieve a good box office.

Before the movie was released, Director Lu was specially invited over.

Watch The Promise.

Let's see how Director Lu evaluates "The Promise".

Director Lu's sensitivity to commercial films is incomparable to any other director. No Chinese director can make a global film like "Inception".

Not to mention that Director Lu also has "Let the Bullets Fly", which was rated as the most classic Chinese film by domestic fans, and the film that combines business and art to the extreme.

"Old Chen, you are with Mr. Han and Director Lu." Chen Hong was talking about arranging the movie broadcast, and the two couples were full of expectations for "The Promise".

The global box office is definitely not comparable to "Inception".

But I hope to break the record of "Let the Bullets Fly" in the mainland.

At this time, the big screen in front of him began to light up, and the movie "The Promise" began to play.

Gao Yuanyuan also looked at it seriously. It was rumored that "The Promise" invested [-] million yuan.

If it weren't for Director Lu, it would be impossible to see this big production in advance.

……

two hours later
The headlights of the auditorium are turned on.

The movie "The Promise" has officially finished playing.

Chen Hong took the lead in applauding. He was quite optimistic about her husband's painstaking work.

Han Shanping also applauded.

Gao Yuanyuan noticed that Director Lu applauded, and followed suit.

"Director Lu, how was the movie?" Han Shanping asked.

Chen Kaige and his wife pricked up their ears.

Although Lu Chen is young.

But get grades.

It is really not comparable to any Chinese director.

If you want an international award, there is an international award.

At the box office there are box office results.

It can also perfectly combine business and art in movies.

"The special effects of the film are very good, and the scene is very grand." Lu Chen was looking for the advantages. They are all members of the directors in the Northwest Circle. It is impossible to directly say that "The Promise" is destined to hit the market.

Of course, this rush to the street is an investment in "The Promise".

In the previous life, "The Promise" was released at the end of December 2005 and earned 12 million.

Belonging to the box office champion of the year.

But for investment, it can be said that it is a loss to grandma's family.

The global box office is only 100 million US dollars, except in the mainland, the global box office is terrible.

"..." Han Shanping thought, is this gone?Suddenly there was a bad feeling, "Director Lu, what's your opinion on the movie?"

Han Shanping is the same as Chen Kaige.

They all have great hopes for The Promise.

Such a big investment.

Must get good grades.

If it fails.

It has to become the biggest joke in the film industry, and it has to be laughed at by future generations for a hundred years.

"This..." It's not good for Lu Chen to say pessimistic words about the movie "The Promise". After all, "The Promise" is also released in theaters on Jupiter. Make a fortune, "Is it Guan Xiaotong who eats steamed buns in the movie?"

"Yes, Director Lu." Chen Hong immediately praised Director Lu for his good eyesight. In the movie, Guan Xiaotong wore makeup, and Guan Xiaotong only worked with Director Lu in "The Thief Family", so he recognized him at a glance.

"This steamed bun, how should I put it, it's better not to eat it." Lu Chen suggested.

Everyone is puzzled.

"Director Lu, what's wrong with this steamed bun?" Han Shanping couldn't help asking, feeling a little baffled.

"Mr. Han, Lu is always joking. This is because he wants to eat steamed buns." Chen Hong said and glanced at Gao Yuanyuan, feeling that Director Lu was making colorful jokes to enliven the atmosphere.

Han Shanping understood instantly and laughed.

Gao Yuanyuan's face flushed instantly, she was extremely shy.

"..." Lu Chen was speechless. He obviously made a serious comment, but it turned into a joke.

Besides, this is nothing at all.

Lu Chen had no such interest in Gao Yuanyuan.

"Director Lu, my husband and I are sitting east tonight, no matter how busy you are, you have to find time to have a meal together." Chen Hong invited, and I have to thank Director Lu for taking the time to watch "The Promise".

"Okay." Lu Chen didn't say anything more.

I was curious in my heart, is there any "A Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" in this life.

……

The next day, Mars Film and Television

"Director Lu!"

As soon as Lu Chen entered the company, everyone in the company respectfully addressed him.

"Yang Lei, come with me to the office." Lu Chen ordered.

This time I went back to Peiping and finished watching "The Promise".

By the way, take care of company affairs.

"En." Yang Lei came to the company to wait after receiving the notice from the big boss, and also had to report on the filming progress of "Sword of Sword 3".

Yang Mi also came into the office together.

"Sword 3" is on holiday for three days.

Listen to what Director Yang Lei said.

Director Lu returned to Peiping.

It seemed that Director Yang Lei was going to report to work, so Yang Mi also came along. I haven't seen Director Lu for a while, and I really miss him.

Of course Yang Mi is not the only one.

Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi, who were also on the crew of "Sword and Sword 3", also came back together and entered the office together.

Lu Chen sat down on the sofa. He originally called for Yang Lei alone, but when he saw Yang Mi and the other three came, he didn't say anything, "How is the filming progress of "Sword of Heaven and Sword 3"?"

"It has come to an end, and it is estimated that the shooting will be completed in one week, and it will be able to enter the post-production." Yang Lei replied, and has always been very strict about the shooting date.

Cannot be extended.

The delay means that the company has to pay more costs.

"After the filming of "Sword and Sword 3" is finished, there will be a movie that will be directed by you." It's time for Lu Chen to tell Yang Lei the news. "The leading roles are Xiangjiang movie stars Chen Long and Gu Tianle."

Yang Lei was stunned for a moment.

After reacting.

Particularly excited.

It's finally time for the movie.

I knew Director Lu would let me be the director of the film.

Finally, the opportunity to make a movie came.

The previous efforts were not in vain.

The experience accumulated in filming TV dramas before can finally be used in movies.

But when thinking about what Director Lu said just now, "Chen Long? Kung Fu superstar Chen Long?"

Director Lu nodded.

Panic again.

Kung fu superstar!

When Chen Long was filming, he was not even born.

I am a little director myself.

There is no masterpiece of a theatrical movie.

How can you stay calm.

But if you can't control the scene, the film will not be under your control. If the film's performance is good, it's fine. If the film's performance is poor, it's not that you have failed Director Lu's trust, and you may lose the opportunity to make a film in the future.

He quickly expressed his concerns to Director Lu.

"Don't worry about this, I will co-direct with you, and I will also serve as the producer of the film." Lu Chen asked Yang Lei to put his heart in his stomach and rest assured to show your talent.

Everything has been arranged. When I am not around, there will be Yang Shoucheng, who will help Yang Lei establish prestige in the crew.

Only then did Yang Lei feel relieved that with Director Lu in the lineup, the crew would not be in chaos.

"About the actors in the movie..." Lu Chen looked at Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, and Liu Shishi in front of him.

As for the movie actress, only Gao Yuanyuan has been confirmed, and there are other female roles that have not been confirmed.

Yang Mi noticed Director Lu's gaze, and immediately cheered up. Director Lu said just now that he is also one of the directors. If he can play a role in this movie, he can be with Director Lu again.

Yang Mi doesn't want to be separated from Director Lu anymore, she wants to be together forever, acting in whatever she wants.

Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi also wanted to play the role, and they were very nervous waiting for Director Lu to announce the result.

Yang Lei was on the sidelines, quietly waiting for the landing director to speak.

I will not express any opinions. Director Lu alone decides who will be the actor. Who can play the role is entirely up to Director Lu.
