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

Chapter 199 The movie with the largest investment
"Xiaochen, do you know this young man?" Liu Xiaoli asked curiously.

Can be remembered by the minister.

Not easy.

Xiaochen didn't even know half of the artists in Martian Film and Television.

Can fall into the eyes of the minister.

Already luckier than many people.

With the possibility of diving into the dragon's gate.

"I don't know." Lu Chen has never met each other in this life, but they cooperated in the previous life.

"Hurry up and introduce your name?" The female secretary reminded after seeing the young man in front of her without introducing herself for a long time.

Talking about working with Gao Yuanyuan.

But don't say your own name.

Do you still want Mr. Lu to guess?
Lu is always a world-renowned director. If he doesn't have time to watch ordinary TV dramas, he can't recognize him just because of a TV drama.

"Director Lu, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself just now, my name is Zhang Ruoyun." He quickly introduced himself, "Currently, I have starred in the TV series "Oath of the Sea"."

And only this masterpiece.

After all, the main business now is academics, not the film and television industry.

Originally, Zhang Ruoyun had no such plan.

That's Director Lu's film audition.

How could he be picked as a freshman?

But at the strong request of my father, I had to come over and try it.

"I think you're not very confident." Lu Chen noticed Zhang Nuoyun's expression, "Why, you don't have confidence in yourself, why are you here to audition for a movie role?"

The most important thing for an actor is self-confidence.

Self-confidence can better play the role in the movie.

Of course, you can't be too confident, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

"I..." Zhang Ruoyun didn't know how to answer this question for a while, and became more nervous.

"Go back and come back when you have confidence." Lu Chen would not use unconfident actors.

There is no spare time to cultivate the self-confidence of others.

The female secretary stepped forward to take Zhang Ruoyun away.

"Director Lu, I'm confident, I want to act in your movie!" Zhang Ruoyun quickly expressed determination on his face.

I never thought of coming to audition for a role in Director Lu's movie.

An actor in Director Lu's film.

That's not extremely good.

There are also top Chinese movie stars such as Gong Li, Zhang Manyu, and Ge You.

So I lack self-confidence.

But now that it's all here, you must try it.

The female secretary looked at Lu Chen, asking for advice on whether to take the young man away.

Lu Chen signaled to wait a moment, and ordered the female secretary, "Bring me the script on my desk."

"I'll get it!" Liu Yifei volunteered, brought a thick stack of scripts from the desk, and put them on the coffee table in front of the senior.

Lu Chen opened it and picked two pages, "I'll give you 10 minutes to memorize the lines in it, and get into the character. After 10 minutes, you can play it for me, Yifei, and you can play her role later."

"Brother, this is the male lead's script. Do you want him to audition for the leading male role?" Liu Yifei asked. She has already memorized the script of the movie "Youth in Youth" by heart.

Liu Yifei is considered to be the first actor to come into contact with the script.

At that time, Liu Yifei still thought that the senior brother would play the male number one.

It's been a long time since Senior Brother played a couple on screen.

Moreover, Shi Ge has not played any role in a movie since he played a supporting role in "Let the Bullets Fly".

Many audience members were looking forward to it. Director Lu Chen came to the front of the screen.

After all, when Director Lu Chen debuted.

He has acted in many roles, and his acting skills are quite OK. He has contributed classic roles such as 'Li Xiaoyao'.

But later.

Director Lu Chen began to focus on behind-the-scenes, and stopped coming to the front of the scene.

"That's right, the male lead's script." Lu Chen felt that the current Zhang Ruoyun was quite suitable for his age.

"Youth in Youth" is about a boy and a girl.

The age cannot exceed too much.

Otherwise there will be drama.

As for Chinese actors under the age of 20.

Really hard to find.

Many are not famous.

If the age can be mentioned, there are still many Chinese actors.

But the number one male in the movie is a boy.

There is no way to raise the age.

In this way, there are fewer actors to choose from.

That's why movies are auditioned for everyone.

It's just that the age is stuck, otherwise, Lu Chen would have many good choices, so there's no need to interview the leading actor.

"Male lead?" Zhang Ruoyun was also shocked, as soon as it came up, it was the male lead's script. Is this the male lead of a movie directed by Lu Chen?For a moment, he froze in place again.

Lu Chen tapped on the table, reminding, "You only have 10 minutes, once the time is up, the show will start."

Zhang Ruoyun came to his senses and quickly picked up the two-page script on the table.

Lu Chen talked about the definition of the role of the leading man in the movie, "The leading man you play has been on the streets since he was a child, living in the mud at the bottom of society, and living a completely different life from a high school student of his age."

"Fighting and dawdling all day long, there is no hope and no future in sight. He has his own views on the world, but he is unable to break free from his own life. He didn't see the light until he met the No. [-] woman. The No. [-] woman became the hope he wanted to achieve desperately."

Zhang Ruoyun nodded, listening to Director Lu's definition of a hero, while carefully watching the lines.

Lu Chen took off his watch, put it on the table, and counted down 10 minutes.

"Xiaochen, after work today, I'm going to Aunt Liu's house for dinner. Auntie will cook something delicious for you." Liu Xiaoli invited.

Let the daughter take down Xiaochen as soon as possible.

Now Xiaochen has achieved higher and higher grades.

There are more and more female artists around.

There are cute, sexy, teenage, and mature women.

The pressure of competition is particularly high.

In addition, the daughter is not particularly good at pleasing men.

Liu Xiaoli is in a hurry.

It would be great if the world had the skill of soul exchange.

You can exchange souls with your daughter.

After helping my daughter take down the minister, I will change it back.

"Aunt Liu, I can't do it today. At night, I have to fly to America." Lu Chen was still busy with "Transformers" and "Kung Fu Panda".

Especially "Kung Fu Panda".

Post-production is already on track.

As a director, I have to stay at the DreamWorks Animation Studio all the time.

"Kung Fu Panda" has an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is a big project of Mars Film and Television, so you can't go wrong.

"Xiaochen, it's almost Chinese New Year, and you're still so busy." Liu Xiaoli said that she could stay in China before the year, and don't go abroad to work again.

After a busy year, you should take a good rest.

After all, only the minister rested.

I have time to develop a relationship with my daughter.

Love for a long time.

If you can't see each other every day, how can you fall in love with each other for a long time?

"Aunt Liu, you also know that the American side is celebrating the Lunar New Year, so the work on the other side is still going on. As the chief director, I have to take the lead, so there is no reason why the head coach is not in the main business." Lu Chen also wanted to not work every day, and find a female star to play with.

Can be the general director of "Transformers" and "Kung Fu Panda".

these work.

You have to do it yourself.

Others can't do it.

Not to mention these two works.

They are all big investment projects of Mars Film and Television.

Lu Chen also hopes to produce the finished film as soon as possible.

Released one day earlier.

There is a profit one day earlier.

Because Lu Chen has a bigger project.

3D movie "The Wandering Earth".

Get ahead of Cameron's Avatar.

Enjoy the benefits of a wave of 3D movies.

As for movies, Lu Chen estimates that the minimum investment is 2 million US dollars, which is nearly 16 billion US dollars.

This is still the minimum investment.

It will definitely exceed.

This requires the project at hand to generate income as soon as possible and withdraw funds.

"Then why don't I and Yifei stay with you." Liu Xiaoli suggested, "You are a man, Xiaochen, and you definitely need someone to take care of you outside."

"Our mother and daughter happen to be fine. We can take care of your daily life, wash your clothes, and cook for you. After all, you must not be used to American food, my servant."

Originally, I wanted Yifei to follow alone.

But I'm afraid that Yifei won't know how to take down the minister.

I have to be by my side to advise my daughter, and when necessary, teach in person.

"Aunt Liu, there are many Huaguo restaurants in America now, my eating habits, and I have an assistant." Lu Chen declined politely, isn't this testing himself?

Lu Chen didn't dare to challenge his control ability.

Besides, I don't know much about the laws of the United States. Who knows if this crime is more serious than Huaguo.

"Then let Yifei follow. Anyway, Yifei has nothing to do recently, and the school is going to be on holiday soon." Liu Xiaoli suggested again, mainly out of anxiety.

Lu Chen's status has been getting higher and higher, so he won't take it now.

Maybe in the future, if you want to win it, you have to queue up.

Now how many female stars are going to fall into the arms of the minister one after another.

Before the Golden Rooster Award, Liu Xiaoli received a message that an actress named Li Bingbing had thrown herself into Xiao Chen's arms.

"Aunt Liu, Yifei's top priority now is the movie. Let her understand the script well in China. This is the best." Lu Chen filmed "Youth in Youth".

It was Liu Yifei who won the award.

Known as the minister girl by the media.

How can there be no Best Actress award.

"Xiaochen, when it comes to your new movie script, Yifei has almost memorized the lines." Liu Xiaoli began to talk about how her daughter worked hard.

That doesn't lie either.

this time.

The daughter's thoughts are all on Xiaochen's new movie script.

"Oh, is that so?" Lu Chen looked at Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei nodded, "Senior brother, because you gave me the script a few months in advance, so I will read the script when I have nothing to do, and I will be included among the heroines."

"Xiaochen, sometimes Yifei will be affected emotionally when she enters a movie role, and she has been a little depressed recently." Liu Xiaoli kept talking about her daughter's efforts for the movie.

"Yifei." Lu Chen looked at Liu Yifei with a serious expression, "The purpose of accepting the role is to better play the role and improve the quality of the movie, but don't fail to get out of the role. You are an actor, not a character in a movie. You must understand that movies are different from real life."

Had to warn in advance.

"Young You" story.

Very depressing.

Unexpectedly, when the movie was finished, Liu Yifei became depressed.

Actors are affected by the movie roles they play, which affects their lives, and even their lives, but there are lessons learned from the past.

"Hmm~" Liu Yifei nodded obediently.

'Drip~"

Then the watch rang.

The 10 minute countdown is over.

Zhang Ruoyun's heart tightened for a moment, knowing that there was only one chance.

"Give me the script." Lu Chen took the two pages of the script and handed it to Liu Yifei who was next to him, "Yifei, take the script and play against him."

This is also a test.

Zhang Ruoyun's lines skills.

Can you remember the lines.

"Brother, I just have to look at the lines. I have the impression of all the lines in the script, and I have memorized them in my mind." Liu Yifei just scanned the two pages of the script roughly.

Just put it aside.

Liu Xiaoli gave her daughter a thumbs up, and wanted to show off in front of the minister.

"Let's get started!" Lu Chen leaned back on the sofa and changed into a comfortable position.

"Okay, Director Lu!" Zhang Nuoyun bowed, took a deep breath, and adjusted his breathing.

And the audition scene.

It's the movie "Youth in Youth".

The heroine finds the male major to repair the mobile phone.

"You know how to fix mobile phones." Liu Yifei has already memorized the lines in it. The movie "Youth in Youth" is also Liu Yifei's longest preparation time since her debut, and she has been preparing for it several months in advance.

"Otherwise, how can I disassemble the mobile phone and sell it?" Zhang Ruoyun entered the role, although nervous, but knew that he had to calm down now, only in this way can he perform well.

Director Lu is the best director in Chinese.

If you want to catch Lu Dao's eyes, you have to put in [-]% effort and perform better than others.

……

5 minutes later
After performing those two pages of the script, Zhang Nuoyun felt relieved and bowed to Lu Chen, "Director Lu, I'm done."

nervous to.

His hands were shaking slightly.

did not expect.

Able to perform in front of Director Lu.

Moreover, the script that director Lu gave himself was the script of the hero.

Originally, Zhang Ruoyun thought that it would be quite satisfying to have a small role. This is also what his father meant. Showing his face in front of Director Lu first and getting acquainted with him will definitely be of great benefit in the future.

But as soon as I came up, I auditioned for the male lead's script, which was a big surprise for myself.

"Go back and wait for the notification." Lu Chen must not jump to conclusions, there are still actors auditioning, and he must choose the best one.

For the movie "Youth in Youth", Lu Chen still put a lot of effort into it.

"Youth in Youth" is also a high school youth movie.

No previous successful works.

Almost no one has ever done this type of work.

Lu Chen did it himself, and he has a fan base.

Still very confident.

I plan to start with "Youth in Youth".

In the future, the company will invest more in youth films.

Young people are different now than before.

Still have some money in my pocket.

And youth genre movies.

The shooting time is short and the cost is low.

It can also use movies to train young new actors.

Really a good type of investment.

In the previous life.

Those youth movies, as long as there is a little love, love, love to die or live.

The box office will not be bad.

There was a period of time when youth movies exploded.

Film companies also make a lot of money.

Of course, this is also a gust of wind. When the limelight passes, one film will hit the street.

But now the limelight has not yet begun.

You can make a good fortune.

Now, in order to raise funds for the shooting of the 3D movie "The Wandering Earth", Lu Chen is only thinking about making money.

"Okay, Director Lu!" Zhang Nuoyun bowed and planned to back down.

"Zhang Wuji." Lu Chen shouted.

Zhang Nuoyun stopped in his tracks with a puzzled look on his face.

"Mr. Lu, this young man's name is Zhang Ruoyun." The female secretary hurriedly reminded him in a low voice that Mr. Lu had misremembered the other party's name.

"Yes, Zhang Ruoyun, that, come here and write down your number." Lu Chen said it perfectly.

previous life.

Zhang Ruoyun has a famous name.

Zhang Wuji.

The TV series he made did not have a second season at all.

Fans who like dramas are particularly crazy.

"Okay, Director Lu." Zhang Ruoyun came over, squatted down, and wrote the number on the notebook.

I am curious.

He wanted to call himself 'Zhang Wuji' when he landed.

Could it be that you want to play "Zhang Wuji" in "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji"?
If so.

There must be 1 willing.

This is Mr. Jin's novel.

Born with heat.

In "The Legend of Condor Heroes" produced by Lu Chen, Hu Fu played the role of "Yang Guo".

It's on fire.

After that, he also played the male lead of "Legend of Sword and Sword 3".

In one fell swoop, he became a well-known male star.

If I can act in 'Zhang Wuji', maybe I will be the next 'Hu Fu'.

Lu Chen took the number handed over by the other party and handed it to the female secretary behind him for safekeeping, "The phone is turned on 24 hours a day, and someone will notify you when there is a result."

"Okay, Director Lu." Zhang Nuoyun nodded emphatically, then retreated.

"Call the next one in." Lu Chen looked at his watch.

I have to fly to America tonight.

Although now rent a private jet.

But it is impossible to fly at any time.

Flying requires an application.

Now the flight time has been applied for, and when the time is almost the same, I will get the airport.

……

January 2006, 1 (twelfth lunar month twenty-three)

Peking, Rose Garden Villa
Today is a small year in the north.

Every house in the villa area is decorated with lanterns and festoons, full of festive Chinese New Year.

"Little minister, come in quickly." Liu Ruyu helped carry the luggage.

"Auntie, I have worked hard for you during this time." Lu Chen thanked.

It's been half a month.

Stayed in America.

company business.

My aunt has been helping to look after me.

Originally planned to come back in the [-]th year of the twelfth lunar month.

However, at the repeated request of my aunt, I rushed home to celebrate the new year.

The small year in the north is the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month.

As for the southern Xiaonian, tomorrow is the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.

"It's not hard, as long as you can come back today and spend the new year together as a family, that's fine." Liu Ruyu brought Lu Chen in, "Don't be hungry, I prepared meals in advance, all of which you like."

"Auntie, I'm really hungry when you say that." Lu Chen came to the hall and greeted Lu Changnian, "Dad."

"Son, why do you keep going abroad? Are there no movies in China?" Lu Changnian still had a little opinion on his son.

It was okay not to stay at home before.

All in the country.

But this year.

Almost half of the time, the son is abroad.

This is the domestic film industry, can't tolerate the great god like his son?
"Changnian, this is the job of the minister, we have to support it." Liu Ruyu glared, saying that the minister had just returned to China, and it was a new year, so he had to say something festive, so don't make a fool of yourself.

"Dad, I'll help you." Lu Chen sat down.

"No, it's a waste of help if you come to help." Lu Changnian was tinkering with the things to be posted during the Chinese New Year, "Hurry up and eat, this year your little mother got a table of food early in the morning, and it's just for you. I won't even eat a single piece."

"Dad, let's eat together, anyway, I can't finish it by myself." Lu Chen invited.

"Don't get in my way." Lu Changnian told Lu Chen to go quickly because he was afraid that his son would be hungry.

"Dad, then you are busy. I will come to help you when the word 'Fu' is posted next time." Lu Chen said and came to the restaurant.

Liu Ruyu sat opposite, "Xiaochen, if there is anything else you want to eat, I'll get it for you right away."

Lu Chen took a look at the rich table of food, "Auntie, it's fine, I can't finish all of these."

See these delicious treats.

Really hungry.

Lu Chen started directly.

I also miss the meals at home, and I haven't eaten for a while.

Half a month in the United States.

With director Spielberg, he always eats steak.

I have eaten at Huaguo restaurant a few times, but it is not the taste of home.

As for half a month in the United States.

The main thing is to make "Kung Fu Panda".

"Transformers" no longer needs to be stared at all the time.

And this half month.

He was also pulled back by director Spielberg.

Spielberg is the producer of "Flags of Our Fathers", and "Flags of Our Fathers" is also produced by DreamWorks live-action films.

So Spielberg brought himself to the set of "Flags of Our Fathers."

Stayed for three days.

It happened to be shooting the battle scenes of "Flags of Our Fathers".

Allow yourself to guide, give advice.

When Spielberg came to Huaguo, he went to watch the movie "Changjin Lake".

Although it is fighting the United States.

But this is a real history, not fabricated out of thin air.

So Spielberg didn't feel uncomfortable.

As for the battle scene in "Changjin Lake", especially the big scene of the general attack later.

Spielberg loved it.

Such a big scene can be shot so smoothly.

It proves that director Lu Chen has a strong ability to control the big scene.

So he directly dragged Lu Chen to the crew of "Flags of Our Fathers".

Lu Chen also worked for three days for nothing.

Although I was not paid, I still did my best to express my views on "Flags of Our Fathers", especially the adjustment of the big scenes in the movie, the camera angles, and my opinions.

As for Lu Chen, he was quite emotional at the time. Directing "Changjin Lake" was our country fighting against the United States, while Spielberg was the producer of "Flags of Our Fathers", it was the United States fighting against the island nation in World War II.

How to look at it, the ancestors of our country are the fathers of the island country.

"Xiao Chen, I'll serve you another bowl." Seeing Lu Chen finished eating, Liu Ruyu was about to take the bowl.

"Auntie, it's alright. I've eaten three bowls and I'm full." Lu Chen not only said he was full, but also burped.

This made Liu Ruyu burst out laughing, "That's enough, by the way, have the actors of the movie "Youth in Youth" been confirmed yet?"

This is also asked on behalf of Miss Li.

Miss Li has been asking about this recently.

Also understand.

This time, Xiao Chen personally directed the show, instead of just acting as a producer.

It's another movie arranged for Yifei, it's normal for Miss Li to be interested.

"It's all decided." Lu Chen finally gave Zhang Ruoyun the lead actor in the movie, and only Zhang Ruoyun came to the audition with the best performance, and his age was suitable.

"Then the filming is about to start, but there is no rush to start filming. We will talk about it after the new year and the first month. Let's take a good rest for a while." Liu Ruyu said, getting up to pack the dishes.

"Auntie, let the auntie clean up." Lu Chen still has something to say, "Auntie, show me the financial reports of several companies."

Have to see how much money is left on the books.

To prepare for "The Wandering Earth".

Lu Chen intends to make "The Wandering Earth" the world's top 3D movie, the movie with the most visual impact.

Need money for sure.

There is also a post-production cycle.

Definitely a lot longer than the shooting time.

The ultimate movie picture requires countless people to spend countless hours to produce it.

Therefore, the project must be approved within one year, start shooting, and leave enough time for post-production.

"Xiaochen, do you have any new plans that require a lot of money?" Liu Ruyu asked.

Before Xiaochen returned home.

Just let yourself prepare the annual financial reports of several companies.

Pay attention to the financial funds of several companies.

It seems that there is another big project that needs money.

But Liu Ruyu thought about it.

Now Xiaochen has Mars Film and Television, a company that can produce movies.

There are even animation companies.

There are also special effects companies.

On the broadcasting side of the network terminal, there is Saturn video.

Mars Films also has the qualifications to distribute movies, and is now one of the most well-known movie distribution companies in Huaguo.

And theaters.

Jupiter Cinemas is now the largest private cinema.

Xiaochen has already intervened in all aspects of the film industry, and he has done a very good job.

Liu Ruyu couldn't figure it out, what else did Xiao Chen need to spend money on, the companies that should be established have already been established, and there is nothing left to miss.
