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

Chapter 213 The movie that gathered all the top Chinese movie stars
"Director Lu, will you be the director of this movie arranged by the company?" Wu Ershan knew that if Director Lu wasn't around, he wouldn't be able to shake the scene.

A Chen Long.

A Jet Li.

The two kung fu superstars, even if they filmed "Far Cry", they won more than 8000 million box office.

But coffee seats are still not enough, unless Director Lu comes.

Otherwise, Wu Ershan was afraid that he would not be able to control the set, and the two kung fu superstars would fight on the set.

This movie also has Liu Yifei, the head of the Four Little Stars.

There is also Li Bingbing, the female companion next to Director Lu, if he blows the pillow, he might be transferred to guard the movie theater.

So there is definitely pressure.

But it is more exciting. It is an honor for two Chinese kung fu superstars to direct their first film together.

I thought that the company would reward me when "Painted Skin" was released and won a good box office, but I didn't expect to reward myself in advance, which gave me a big surprise.

"I will be the director of the film, but the film will mainly depend on you." Lu Chen still has many more important things to do, and he doesn't have much time to focus on this new film.

"Director Lu, I'll make a good movie." Wu Ershan felt relieved, as long as Director Lu got a job, it would be fine. With so many big-name movie stars, Director Lu needs to be named, so that he can also have a Shangfang sword that can shock people. You have to live.

"That's all for today. I won't go when the crew of "Painted Skin" has dinner together." Lu Chen got up and planned to leave.

"Director Lu, what's the name of the new movie?" Wu Ershan asked quickly.

"King of Kung Fu!" Lu Chen filmed this movie for the sole purpose of making money, and it was a one-off sale. It took too long to wait until the movie started shooting and then released.

It is better to package and sell directly to Universal Pictures.

The film investment is about 5000 million US dollars.

A one-time sale will definitely sell more than 1 million US dollars, and at least earn two to three times.

After all, this is produced by Mars Films, and Universal Pictures still believes in the strength of Mars Films.

"The King of Kung Fu!" Wu Ershan kept chanting, repeating the name, feeling that the name was too appropriate. Li Lianjie has the title of Kung Fu Emperor in the world, including Chen Long Kung Fu superstar.

This 'King of Kung Fu' is too apt.

"This "The King of Kung Fu" has many scenes abroad, and there is also a foreign starring role. I will send you the list of confirmed actors at that time. As for the undecided actors in the movie, you can decide for yourself." Lu The minister ordered.

It is planned to let LaBeouf, the star of "Transformers", play the white male protagonist "Jason" in "The King of Kung Fu".

Originally, Lu Chen didn't want to set the background of the movie abroad.

Consider the price the movie sold for, though.

If it was all domestic scenes, Universal Pictures might not be willing to pay a high price.

Let the film be considered for the global market. Like the previous "Kung Fu King", the white male protagonist drives the film story.

And to find "Transformers" hero LaBeoufu, first, he was given a starring role in a blockbuster movie before, and the second part must be paid for it.

Second, when "Transformers" is released, LaBeouf can also gain international popularity, which can bring good box office results to "The King of Kung Fu".

Although the movie "The King of Kung Fu" is a one-shot deal, we must try our best to make the box office of the movie as high as possible, and don't let Universal Pictures lose money, so as not to say that we are cheating them.

"Okay, Director Lu." Wu Ershan remembered what the big boss said.

"Director Lu, then I'll drive the car out now." Li Bingbing saw that Director Lu had settled the conversation, so he quickly drove out the car. When he got off, Director Lu had to go to the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee.

"When the final script of "The King of Kung Fu" is finished, give it to me for a review. As for the movie, you can prepare after you rest for a while." Lu Chen ordered.

Now the company is negotiating with Universal Pictures.

Once the final price is negotiated, it will be paid.

So the movie starts as fast as possible.

Lest Universal Pictures feel that Mars Films is empty-handed.

"Okay, Director Lu." Wu Ershan nodded emphatically, "And Director Lu, I'll see you off."

"I'm leaving first. Wait for you and the crew of "Painted Skin" to eat and have fun, and all consumption will be accounted for by the company." Lu Chen's work these days has been focused on the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee.

In a few days, the production of "Kung Fu Panda" will be completed, and the dubbing work will start.

……

Changnian Building, Mars Film and Television (Animation) Company

Lu Chen founded a related film and television company, all headquartered in Changnian Building in Beiping.

As a result, Changnian Building is not rented out, even if there are vacant floors, it is not rented out.

Lu Changnian also let Changnian Building have an empty floor, ready at any time, as long as his son founded another company, he could have an office space, so he didn't have to go outside to look for it.

Originally, Changnian Building was a well-known office building for the coal industry, but now it is about to become an office building for the film and television industry.

"President Lu, everyone is here." The female secretary came to inform.

Lu Chen closed the file. Recently, he has been busy selecting the program for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. He needs to confirm the program as soon as possible before rehearsing.

In order to be safe for the opening ceremony of the 08 Olympic Games, it is best to rehearse one year in advance.

Let the actors who participated in the opening ceremony form muscle memory, so as to ensure that there will be no mistakes in the opening ceremony that day.

The female secretary leads the way.

Lu Chen looked at the office area of ​​the Martian Film and Television (Animation) Company, thinking that when the funds were sufficient, he would have to build a building, and it would not be a problem to always work in Dad's building.

Anyway, Mars Film and Television is already the most profitable film company in China, so it needs to have its own headquarters building.

"Director Lu!" When the people in the room saw Lu Chen approaching, they all got up and said hello.

Chen Long, Li Lianjie, Chow Yun-fat, Ge You, Gong Li, Yang Ziqiong, Zhang Ziyi, Wu Jing, Zhou Jielun, "Chang Wei" actor Zou Zhaolong who does not know martial arts.

"Let's watch it first." Lu Chen came to the inner room, and everyone followed.

The animated movie "Kung Fu Panda" was officially broadcast.

There is no dragon mark at the beginning.

There are no behind-the-scenes staff either.

Only the feature film.

The main reason is that the production of "Kung Fu Panda" has just been completed, and the dubbing will not be picked up until the dubbing is completed.

When Chen Long and the others sat down, they all became quiet.

At the beginning of the movie, there is a giant panda lying in the kitchen.

The colors amaze everyone.

First of all, the black and white color of the giant panda is distinct.

Red handcrafted solid wood furniture.

Neatly and beautifully placed JDZ porcelain bowls.

The painting of Furious Five hanging on the wall is in the style of ink painting, and the entire animation screen that appears is full of Chinese style.

This shocked everyone who watched the scene. The picture of this animated film is so exquisite that it is the world's top animated film quality.

Of course, Director Lu Chen directed it himself, which is normal. If it were an ordinary animated film, Director Lu would definitely not direct it.

As for the color of the animated film, it is really beautiful, every picture is like a beautiful painting.

Regarding the use of color in animated films, Lu Chen learned from Zhang Ying, taking the essence and discarding the dross.

Then the movie has sound.

"Kung Fu Panda" first used professional dubbing actors, dubbed the voice once, and also let the well-known movie stars present listen to it first, so that they can better carry out the dubbing work in the future.

When it comes to dubbing, it must be a professional dubbing actor.

But you also have to consider the movie box office, so you have to find well-known movie stars.

As for the mouth shape of the characters in the animated movie "Kung Fu Panda", there are two kinds of mouth shapes.

One is the English mouth shape, and the other is the Chinese mouth shape.

With one more mouth shape, the cost has increased by at least nearly 800 million dollars.

It is also now that animation movies change mouths, and the technology is not so advanced, otherwise so much money would not be needed.

But now the playback is based on the Chinese mouth shape. The Chinese spoken matches the character's mouth shape, and there will be no sound that does not match the mouth shape, so the viewing experience will be particularly bad.

Chen Long, Li Lianjie and others watched carefully.

The expressions are particularly shocked.

From the picture quality, you can feel that this animated movie is excellent.

The characters are also well chosen. Animals such as giant pandas are well-known to the public.

Especially pandas.

The national treasure of Huaguo is deeply loved by people all over the world.

Giant pandas are popular, but there is talk of panda diplomacy.

There is also the style of animation movies, which is even more lovable.

As expected of Director Lu, the No.1 young director in the world, it really wasn't easy at first.

Hu Yunnian, the manager of the Martian Film and Television (Animation) Company, observed the changes in the expressions of actors such as Lu Chen and Chen Long.

This is Hu Yunnian's first film since he came out of the Magic City Art Film Studio. The production cost exceeds [-] million US dollars. It has become the animation film with the highest production cost in China, and it is also the most expensive in the Chinese film industry.

Previously, "Inception" and "Transformers" directed by Director Lu Chen were set in foreign countries, and there were many foreign actors.

Unlike "Kung Fu Panda", the background is in China, and the voices are all top domestic movie stars.

Of course, there are two versions of "Kung Fu Panda", one foreign and one domestic. The only difference is in the shape of the mouth.

Once the movie is over.

There was thunderous applause in the room.

"Director Lu, I dare to say it." Chen Long was particularly excited, "This is definitely the best Chinese animation movie at present, bar none."

I like "Kung Fu Panda" so much, it's so beautiful.

I prefer the Huaguo elements in the movie.

The "Inception" filmed by Director Lu also has a lot of Chinese elements.

But definitely not as much as "Kung Fu Panda". "Kung Fu Panda" does not have any foreign elements, pure Chinese style, showing the beautiful scenery of China, and "Kung Fu".

This is the work of Chinese filmmakers.

Who will say in the future that Huaguo animation films are dead.

Let me ask you, who in Asia can make such an excellent "Kung Fu Panda", and Director Lu Chen did it.

This made Chen Longchong admire Director Lu Chen, and love him to death. This time, he collaborated with Lu Chen in two works, both related to kung fu. The titles both have the word "Kung Fu". ".

Li Lianjie, Ge You and the others also showed shock on their faces.

Unexpectedly, this is an animated film made by a Chinese director.

This can be regarded as the world's top animation film, and when it is released, it will definitely shock the world's movie fans.

And it can drive the prosperity of the Chinese animation film market.

Entering the new century, in the past six years, no animated film has been profitable, and animated films are already the type of film that dogs don't care about.

Only cartoons shown on TV can survive.

Animated movies are dead as hell.

But now that everyone has seen "Kung Fu Panda", they can be [-]% sure that when it is released in the domestic market, it will definitely bring about a wave of Chinese animation movies.

This also shows everyone's respect for Director Lu Chen.

It is worthy of being called by the media as the new 100-year leader of Chinese-language films, who is really doing things for Chinese-language films.

"Teachers, the next dubbing is up to you. It will be hard for everyone during this time." Lu Chen has already arranged the Chinese dubbing.

Po: Chen Long (Chinese and English Dubbing)

Master Raccoon: Zhou Runfa (Chinese and English dubbing)
Master Turtle: Ge You (Chinese dub)

Furious Five
Spirit Crane: Li Lianjie (Chinese and English dubbing)
Tire Tiger: Yang Ziqiong (Chinese and English Dubbing)

Pretty Little Dragon: Zhang Ziyi (Chinese-English Dubbing)

Golden Monkey: Jay Chou (Chinese dub)
Quick Mantis: Wu Jing (Chinese dub)
The big villain Taro: Zou Zhaolong (Chinese and English dubbing).

Zou Zhaolong starred in "The Matrix 2", and is still well-known internationally.

And Zou Zhaolong not only dubbed "Kung Fu Panda", but also starred in "Jade God of War" in "The King of Kung Fu" produced by Mars Film and Television Company.

"Director Lu, it's not hard work. It's our honor to be able to dub such an excellent animation film." Chen Long watched "Kung Fu Panda" and was deeply shocked.

I believe that the audience will feel the same when the movie is released.

As for the release of "Kung Fu Panda", it will definitely be a hit.

Beautiful use of color, exquisite picture, excellent story, likable characters.

The elements contained in animated films are absolutely top-notch.

It must be a kind of luck to be able to dub such an excellent animated film. The popularity of the movie is also good for the dubbing actors.

"Director Lu, Brother Long is right, it's not hard work to dub such an excellent animated film." After watching "Kung Fu Panda", Li Lianjie also knew that it would be popular.

Of course, Li Lianjie would like to cooperate with Lu Chen in a live-action movie. After dubbing "Kung Fu Panda", it is time to shoot "The King of Kung Fu".

However, Li Lianjie and other leading actors must not know that Lu Chen didn't put his mind on the movie "The King of Kung Fu". The filming of this movie was just to sell money.

"Jielun." Lu Chen called Zhou Jielun aside, "I will arrange for your voice to be dubbed first, and then the work here is over, so I can go back and continue filming "The Golden Armor in the City"."

Jay Chou was borrowed from the crew of "The Golden Flower in the City".

Jay Chou's dubbing work must be completed first, so as not to delay the shooting progress of director Zhang Yingmou's new movie.

"Okay, no problem." Jay Chou nodded.

"Teachers, let's try dubbing briefly today, and check your status." Lu Chen beckoned, and a young lady came over, a professional dubbing teacher.

This is to allow the actors to better dub the characters of "Kung Fu Panda". After all, these people are movie actors, not professional voice actors.

……

"Xiao Chen, it's hard work. I came to Aunt Liu's house and eat more to replenish my body." Liu Xiaoli was very considerate and put vegetables in Lu Chen's bowl, "I heard from Ruyu that you have been busy with a movie recently. Animated movies, are you done yet?"

I don't care much about animated movies.

It is also because Liu Xiaoli has never seen the finished film of "Kung Fu Panda", otherwise she would not think so.

Moreover, the Chinese dubbing lineup of "Kung Fu Panda" is absolutely luxurious and cannot be more luxurious, that is, director Lu Chen comes forward, otherwise other directors may not be able to gather so many big names.

"It's almost finished soon." The dubbing workload of the animation film is not necessarily heavy. Now is the final stage of the film production. When the film production is completed, Lu Chen will have to arrange the release of "Kung Fu Panda" and other matters.

"After we're done, do we have to start filming the movie "The King of Kung Fu?" Liu Xiaoli was concerned about the movie that her daughter starred in.

Chen Long and Li Lianjie.

Who has this treatment?

For being so kind to her daughter, Liu Xiaoli didn't know how to repay the little minister for a while.

If the minister had any needs, Liu Xiaoli would agree without hesitation, and repay the minister's kindness in nurturing her daughter.

"Yes." Now that Lu Chen has collected all the money, he must start "The King of Kung Fu" earlier.

Universal Pictures paid US$1.53 million to buy all the copyrights of "The King of Kung Fu".

All the investments in "The King of Kung Fu" totaled more than 5000 million US dollars, and the film made a net profit of about [-] million US dollars.

When talking about the price, Universal Pictures said that if Director Lu Chen directed it himself, the price could be added by an additional 5000 million US dollars, and the price could reach [-] million US dollars.

Universal Pictures is willing to pay $1.53 million for the film.

It is the first time that Chen Long and Li Lianjie, two kung fu superstars, will cooperate on the big screen.

The movie was produced by Mars Films and Television again, with Lu Chen acting as the executive producer.

It would be even better if Lu Chen was the chief director.

Lu Chen rejected Universal Pictures' request, mainly because he didn't have time. Manville Comics has been urging to start filming "Iron Man" and Warner Bros. "Batman" part two.

How can I have time to film "The King of Kung Fu", and I will be a film director to make Chen Long and Li Lianjie participate in the film, including selling it for a good price.

"Brother, when the movie starts, will you be there?" Liu Yifei knows that when the senior is the director, it is different from other directors. He rarely comes to the crew, unless the senior directs himself, he will stay there all the time. In the crew.

"Yifei, what you said, the minister will definitely come." Liu Xiaoli took the words, ""The King of Kung Fu" has Chen Long and Li Lianjie, two superstars, and you are Yifei, of course Aunt Liu is also there, so I'm sure the minister will come, isn't he?"

"That's right." Speaking of which, Lu Chen will definitely attend the opening ceremony of "The King of Kung Fu".

"Yifei, did you hear that, the minister will come, and it's for you." Liu Xiaoli kicked her daughter lightly with her foot, her eyes beckoning, and she was more enthusiastic towards the minister.

This silly daughter.

I saw the media reports about the actress next to Xiaochen recently.

I've been in a bad mood at home.

But isn't this normal?

May I ask which Chinese-speaking director, there are not many actresses around.

Not to mention that Xiaochen is the No.1 young director in the world, young, talented, handsome and rich.

Who wouldn't want to pounce on such a director?
An actress who thinks like this may be able to go from the Beijing Film Academy to the top drama, that is, Xiao Chen is her future son-in-law, otherwise...

So I had to let my daughter not be affected by this, if she played petty temper in front of the minister, it would not be in vain to take advantage of the actresses outside and push the minister out.

Liu Yifei controlled her emotions, poured a full glass of wine, and spilled a little when she got up, revealing her dimples, and smiled slightly, "I wish the movie "Painted Skin" produced by my brother is a big hit."

Now "Baby Project" has been released from theaters.

"Painted Skin" was released next to "Baby Project".

"Yifei, drink less." Lu Chen persuaded, the wine was too full, it was spilled, and there is no wine table culture, so there is no need to fill it up 'full of satisfaction'.

"Xiaochen, it's okay. At home, Yifei just rests when he's drunk." Liu Xiaoli said with a smile, congratulating "Baby Project" on the big sale, and the movie "Painted Skin" is now released for a week, and the data is quite good.
