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

Chapter 178
"Mr. Doug, stop praising me and talk about business." Lu Chen asked everyone about the appearance of the Autobots in the live-action movie "Transformers".

Have any comments.

If no comments.

Just set.

Start making tools.

This time it will be done jointly by Mercury Special Effects and Industrial Light & Magic.

Spielberg picked up the sketches on the table and looked at them carefully, "No problem, there is nothing to change."

I admire it very much.

Director Lu Chen has strong drawing skills.

The drawings are also very detailed.

All details are marked.

Do it alone.

Not only has outstanding ability, but also is quite imaginative.

The painted 'Autobots' already have visual impact on paper.

Wait for it to be made into a movie.

The visual impact can definitely be full.

Already well-known in the world at a young age, he still has real skills.

Choosing to cooperate with director Lu Chen this time will surely bring DreamWorks live-action film studio out of the predicament.

Spielberg has always wanted to make DreamWorks live-action film studio as good as DreamWorks Animation Studio and become an industry benchmark.

"I have no objection." The person in charge sent by Hasbro also affirmed the image of the Autobot drawn by Director Lu Chen.

Although there are changes.

But it's not magic.

Just small changes.

Overall, it is quite in line with the image of the Autobots in the 'Transformers' anime.

Look at these sketches.

I can tell.

Director Lu Chen put a lot of effort into the story of 'Transformers'.

This made the people of Hasbro quite satisfied and recognized Director Lu Chen as the director.

"I don't even have an opinion." Doug said with a smile.

He worked with director Lu Chen on "Inception".

I have already deeply believed in Director Lu Chen's ability.

As long as Director Lu Chen decided something, he would definitely agree with it.

"That's good, the shape of the Autobot is decided like this." Seeing that there was no objection from everyone, Lu Chen officially confirmed it, and also wanted to start the machine as soon as possible, "Yang Mi, give everyone a copy of the script."

The next step is to discuss the script of the movie.

Yang Mi took out three parts of the script and gave them to Spielberg, Doug from Universal Pictures, and people from Hasbro.

For being able to stay in the room.

Called by Director Lu.

Yang Mi is quite happy.

No one else wants this opportunity.

The three of them took the script and looked at it carefully.

Lu Chen made a lot of improvements to the previous "Transformers" script.

Before Transformers, there were comics and animations, with a world view.

Make it into a movie.

It must be different from manga and animation, and must be innovative.

But it can't break away from the original world view of Transformers.

So Lu Chen improved and optimized the script.

Yang Mi poured a cup of coffee for everyone in the room, and sat down beside Lu Chen.

He looked at Director Lu with both eyes.

The eyes are full of admiration.

"Transformers" live-action movie script read.

Very wonderful.

There is nothing new.

It does not depart from the world view in "Transformers".

Now I understand that because Director Lu was in the hotel, he had been watching stories about Transformers, as well as animations and animations of Transformers, in order to come up with a better script.

The first to read the script was Doug from Universal Pictures.

I affirmed the script and said I have no opinion.

Because I believe in director Lu Chen's ability.

As long as director Lu Chen didn't write a script about the autobot 'Optimus Prime' falling in love with 'Megatron', he would all agree with it.

Not to mention the 'Transformers' script rewritten by Lu Chen.

Much more interesting than the previous draft.

Doug had read the first draft. If the first draft of the script was only [-] points, then the script written by Director Lu Chen is already close to full marks.

"Director Lu, I have no objection." The people from Hasbro closed the screen after reading the script.

Very happy with the script.

Thinking that he deserves to be the director who wrote the script of "Inception", the pen is quite powerful.

"Everyone has no opinion, and neither do I." Spielberg felt that this time he was looking for director Lu Chen to cooperate with him, and he was very capable.

After rewriting, the script is more interesting.

More importantly, it did not break away from the world view of Transformers.

Otherwise, the people from Hasbro would not agree to the script.

"Everyone has no objections, the script is settled." Lu Chen was talking about efficiency. He made the "Transformers" live-action movie just for Mercury special effects. He and Industrial Light & Magic can participate in the production of special effects for the film and lay down solid special effects. Make the base.

"Director Lu, regarding actors, who do you like?" As the producer, Spielberg almost transferred all the power to director Lu Chen.

Before cooperation.

Get to know director Lu Chen in the crew.

Just like the "Emperor of Earth" in Huaguo.

Spielberg is also interested, and accommodates director Lu Chen.

Who made Mars Film and Television the largest investor in Transformers.

Director Lu Chen also brought in Universal Films.

Universal Pictures does not interfere.

Spielberg is even less likely to interfere with director Lu Chen's creation of the film.

"Yang Mi." Lu Chen asked Yang Mi to come over.

Yang Mi came over, straightened her back, and made her figure stand out even more.

"The heroine of Transformers, Yang Mi." Lu Chen announced directly.

Those present did not object.

Before cooperation.

Director Lu Chen stated that he will use Chinese actors.

These three people also know.

Director Lu Chen likes to use artists from Mars Films and Television in his movies.

Of course, as a boss, he must use his own company's artists, which is convenient and can earn a penny more for Yang Mi to act, so everyone has no objections.

"Director Lu, what about the male protagonist?" Spielberg became nervous, but don't make another Chinese male protagonist, that's the Quan Hua Banquet.

Although director Lu Chen has a considerable reputation in the world.

But the director is behind the scenes.

The actors are in front of the screen.

It is directly facing the audience.

Actors are crucial to a movie.

Doug tensed up, too, sharing Spielberg's concerns.

People from Hasbro are the same, but if it is a Chinese hero, they will definitely object.

Lu Chen also noticed the expressions of these three people, and knew that if a Chinese actor was used as the man, it would definitely not work and would be strongly opposed, "Shia LaBeouf, what do you think?"

Although no Chinese actors are used.

But not like last time.

Use a world-renowned movie star like Leonardo.

We had to use a not-so-well-known European and American actor.

Lu Chen planned to take "Transformers" to the test.

An "Inception" let itself have a group of loyal fans.

This is something that director Zhang Yingmou is envious of.

Lu Chen had to see how much these loyal fans supported him.

See how much box office you can get with your influence in the global film market.

"Transformers" in addition to producer Spielberg.

The biggest card is yourself.

Spielberg belongs to the producer.

himself as a director.

He is the leader of the film.

Whether "Transformers" can get a high box office is entirely up to you.

"Director Lu, if you don't need the previous Leonardo, you have collaborated on "Inception". I guess Leonardo will agree if you ask me." Spielberg made a suggestion.

Leonor takes on a lot of plays and has high requirements for scripts.

"Transformers" is a toy live-action movie.

But director Lu Chen wrote a good script.

In addition, the two collaborated on "Inception", which made Leonardo's global reputation further, and he added a masterpiece that is regarded as a classic by fans all over the world.

So when director Lu Chen came to direct, Leonardo should agree.

"Leonardo, it's not very suitable." Shia LaBeouf, chosen by Lu Chen, was the first male protagonist of "Transformers" in the previous life.

"Director Lu, how about Matt Damon, who played in "Bourne Shadow"?" Doug from Universal Pictures suggested.

Matt Damon became famous all over the world with "The Bourne".

There is fame.

There are also acting skills.

If invited, the other party will definitely agree.

Back then, "Bourne Shadow" was invested by Universal Pictures.

Not to mention the new movie, the producer is Spielberg, and the director is the No.1 young director in the world.

"He's the same as Leonardo, not very suitable in age." Lu Chen asked Yang Mi to turn on the computer.

It has detailed information on Shia LaBeouf, "Although Shia LaBeouf is not very well-known, I have seen his works and think he is quite suitable to play the leading role of "Transformers"."

I found the original actor from the previous life.

Don't look for famous ones.

I just want to test first, how much box office can I get in the world with my own fame.

After all, in the future, Lu Chen plans to use Chinese as the leading actors in global films. Before that, he must have a bottom line in his heart and be able to predict how much basic box office he can direct in the world.

Both Spielberg and Doug were speechless. Director Lu Chen asked Shia LaBeouf how it would be if he was a leading actor, and thought he would accept everyone's suggestions.

This is obviously a notice, not an invitation to comment.

Finally had to agree to come down.

Even finding director Lu Chen as the director, I still give him great trust.

What's more, Director Lu Chen is the biggest investor in the film.

Directing ability is recognized by the world's major film markets.

……

Peiping
A commercial vehicle was driving towards Jupiter Cinema on Beiping Road.

Lu Chen sat in the back row, next to Zhao Liying.

The co-pilot is Ning Hao.

Lu Chen opened the actor's profile in his hand.

since the last confession.

Get in touch with Director Spielberg.

When it comes time to shoot a new movie.

Countless well-known actors from the mainland have submitted their resumes.

Top Chinese actors such as Ge You and Gong Li, who have worked with Lu Chen, even called to ask about the new movie.

Director Lu Chen's "Inception" broke through 10 billion US dollars and became a global hit.

I heard that this one is another global movie in cooperation with Hollywood.

Definitely another global hit.

So now actors who want to star in Director Lu's new movie can go from Beijing Film Academy to Shanghai Film.

"Director Lu, I heard that the new movie you're directing has Yang Mi as the heroine?" Zhao Liying couldn't help asking.

"This Yang Mi is yelling again." Lu Chen didn't disclose the news, needless to say, it must have been Yang Mi who said it to the outside world, noticing the frustrated look on Zhao Liying's face, "Xiaoying, don't get lost, keep working hard, Mr. God will not disappoint a girl who works hard."

Zhao Liying knew that Director Lu meant that he would not let down the girl who worked hard, that is to say, he would not let down her own efforts, and her mood immediately improved. She believed that in the near future, she would also be able to play the leading role in Director Lu's movie.

"Ning Hao!" Lu Chen shouted.

"Director Lu!" Ning Hao turned around with a nervous expression on his face.

Today is the premiere day of "The Golden Heist".

The investment this time is several times higher than the previous "Crazy Racing".

Still stressful.

The main reason is that the works of the two leading directors failed.

With an investment of 1000 million, "The Promise" directed by director Chen Kaige still failed to break [-] million in the mainland, and the box office was still more than [-] million short of [-] million.

With an investment of 6000 million, "Night Banquet" directed by Feng Xiaogang has been screened in the mainland for a week now, and the box office has not broken through [-] million, only more than [-] million.

Although this result is very good compared to before.

But before the release, Feng Xiaogang can say that the movie "Night Banquet" has a guarantee of [-] million yuan.

Judging from the box office trend chart, let alone [-] million, it is impossible to reach [-] million.

Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang are the most famous directors of the fifth generation of directors.

Connection failed now.

Director Lu Chen ignited the movie market.

I thought that the film market would continue to flourish and keep setting new records.

However, Chen Kaige and director Feng Xiaogang seemed to pour a basin of cold water on the fiery movie market.

Although both movies have broken through [-] million.

Break the career records of the two directors.

But for the film market dominated by director Lu Chen, the two directors are quite dissatisfied with this result.

The box office of the two leading directors is not good.

It also put Ning Hao under a lot of pressure.

Both Director Chen and Director Feng are well-known directors, and the investment in their films is over [-] million yuan.

They failed to achieve the expected box office.

Ning Hao is afraid that his box office will be even worse. Although there is a masterpiece "Crazy Racing", it is still a new director, and the fan base cannot be compared with the two big directors.

"Don't be nervous." Lu Chen noticed the tension on Ning Hao's face, "In today's mainland film market, although only big directors are recognized, the works are more recognized. As long as the work is good and the audience likes it, the audience will definitely not let you down. .”

"Yeah!" Ning Hao nodded, cheering himself up in his heart.

Although he is not well-known.

But Director Lu's fame is known all over the world.

With Director Lu as the film producer, I believe the film will do well at the box office.

And Ning Hao was so nervous.

It is also afraid of losing at the box office.

It's hard to mention the movie "No Man's Land".

He also thought that "Golden Heist" had a good box office and made money for the company, so he proposed to shoot "No Man's Land" written before, and not make this movie. Ning Hao felt unwilling.

"Ning Hao!" Lu Chen saw that he was thinking carefully.

"Director Lu, here!" Ning Hao heard Director Lu's serious tone, and immediately put on an attitude of listening attentively.

"No matter what the box office of "Golden Heist" is, take a break, and then you can shoot "No Man's Land"." Lu Chen didn't let Ning Hao film it at the beginning, because the backstage of Mars Films and Television was not yet strong.

The temple is small.

Can't stand the toss of this dark movie "No Man's Land".

I am afraid that "No Man's Land" will affect Mars Film and Television.

It is different now.

Since the filming of "Soldier Assault", I have been on the line of Mr. Lu.

As long as it is not a reactionary movie, it is not a big problem.

After hearing this, Ning Hao was stunned.

"Why, I don't want to shoot the script you wrote before." Lu Chen said in a joking tone.

"No! I am willing!" Ning Hao realized that he was grateful to Director Lu.

I wrote the script of "No Man's Land" before.

Director Lu was very satisfied.

I am more satisfied with the script I wrote.

It's just that Director Lu didn't let me shoot.

Only then did Ning Hao film "The Golden Heist".

Now I can finally get my wish.

And Director Lu said that regardless of the box office of "The Golden Heist", the filming of "No Man's Land" will start.

"Okay, don't thank me." Lu Chen stopped Ning Hao from thanking, "I have a little request for the movie, the dancing female character in it must live, not die, and it must be left to the audience's hope, and it should not be too dark .”

"The purpose of making a movie is for the audience to watch, and the audience spends money into the movie to support you. You can't make the audience uncomfortable and feel hopeless, otherwise, the audience will teach you how to be a human being."

It also reminds Ning Hao that in the future, you must always understand that the audience supports you, and don't make fools of yourself.

"Okay, Director Lu." Ning Hao agreed to change the ending of "No Man's Land".

in the heart.

I was thinking of writing everything to death.

It fits the theme of this dark movie.

But Director Lu's request.

It must be complied with.

I believe that Director Lu did not make random requests.

It is to make the script better.

Director Lu can write the scripts of "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Inception".

When it comes to writing scripts, few people in the world can compare to Director Lu.

Ning Hao also thought about it carefully, and it is true that all the main characters in it can't be written to death, and only one of them can survive to sublimate the artistic conception of the movie.

"Xiaochen, we're almost there." Lao Mo, who was driving, reminded him that he was already approaching the cinema.

This is also Jupiter Cinemas.

The largest cinema in Peking.
