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

Chapter 216 Rewriting the History of Chinese Special Effects Films on My Own

"Thank you for coming." Lu Chen came to the stage.

"Director Lu, "Transformers" will be released in Mainland China and Xiangjiang in ten days." The reporter of the film newspaper couldn't wait to ask, ""Transformers" is a movie for the world, and it is even more popular with fans all over the world. Like, how much box office do you think it will end up getting worldwide."

when asked.

Particularly excited.

The reporters and staff of the film newspaper are already loyal fans of Director Lu Chen.

Director Lu Chen is awesome!
At the age of less than 30 years old, he has made achievements in the global film industry, which is unprecedented and unprecedented.

It has greatly improved the status of Chinese-language films in the world.

Let more Chinese-speaking filmmakers be known to fans all over the world.

"I seem to have answered this question before." Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm just a director. As for the box office, I can't decide."

"The audience votes with money. If you like my movie, please come to the cinema to support me. I will definitely make more excellent movies and repay the audience who support me."

As soon as the words are finished.

There was warm applause from the audience.

As for director Lu Chen, he said he couldn't decide the box office, but he didn't agree.

Director Lu Chen is the boss of Jupiter Cinemas.

And Jupiter Cinemas is now the largest private capital, holding the power to schedule movies.

"Director Lu, "The King of Kung Fu" gathers the most well-known Chinese stars." The reporter from the entertainment newspaper asked a new question, "There are kung fu superstars Chen Long and Li Lianjie in the movie, as well as Liu Yifei, who you pay attention to training. Being a director of a film should not be the chief director."

Everyone still knows that Lu Chen is definitely one of the best model workers in the director world.

Like other world-renowned directors, one movie a year is already considered a high-yield, and most of them are directed one movie every two years, or three movies a year.

Unlike director Lu Chen, who personally directed two movies a year.

As for being a film producer and participating in the creation of film stories, there are countless works.

The cast of "The King of Kung Fu" has a very luxurious lineup, and Liu Yifei, Director Lu's favorite, is not coming to be the director. It is indeed a bit weird.

There is only one possibility, and that is Director Lu, who still has a project on hand.

So reporters, let's see if we can dig out news about new works.

"I didn't come to direct because of Wu Ershan's outstanding director ability." Lu Chen beckoned and let Wu Ershan come to his side so that he could have greater exposure, "The first movie "Far Cry" It has achieved more than 8000 million box office, and now "Painted Skin" is likely to break [-] million, such an excellent directing ability should be given a greater creative platform."

"Director Lu, it's you who cultivated me well. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today." Wu Ershan said, bowing deeply to Lu Chen in front of the media reporters.

I know that if it weren't for Director Lu's promotion, I would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to achieve today's achievements. If there is no Director Lu, maybe 20 years later, I may not have this achievement.

It also gave itself a global blockbuster.

Starring Chen Long, Li Lianjie, Liu Yifei, and Li Bingbing, it is a big production with an investment of more than 5000 million US dollars and more than 4 million US dollars.

Zhang Yingmou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang, well-known directors of the fifth generation, have not yet shot a major production with an investment of more than [-] million yuan, so I am so honored.

"Director Lu, you have cultivated a new generation of excellent Chinese-language film talents." The reporter of the film newspaper looked in admiration. Director Lu Chen has become the new godfather of the Chinese-language film industry.

The famous actors and directors in recent years are all from the Martian system.

The directors are: Ning Hao, Wu Ershan, Yang Lei, etc.

Actors include: Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Si Xiaohua Dan, Liu Wei, Gao Yuanyuan, Li Bingbing, etc.

The Martian system has become the biggest force in the Chinese film and television industry.

Not to mention that director Lu Chen, the big boss of the Mars department, has a strong relationship in the film industry, which is even stronger than the "Transformers" Autobots. Whose movie can be advertised at the news time of Yangma.

This is definitely No.1 in the Chinese film industry.

And this month's popular movie "Painted Skin" won more than 2 million box office because of its excellent movie story.

Many film critics praised the story of the movie "Painted Skin", firstly because director Lu Chen was the first screenwriter of the movie, and secondly because the story of the movie is really good.

Wu Ershan also said that the outline of the movie "Painted Skin" was written by director Lu Chen alone.

Director Lu Chen adapted a short story from "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" to make it more suitable for the audience.

Audiences who go to the movies are particularly fond of the story of this 'painted skin' goblin.

There are elements such as goblins, love, and family affection in the movie. The integration of various elements is particularly good. The logic of the movie story is strong, and it is particularly touching, which proves how strong movie screenwriters are.

"Then do more interviews with this excellent Chinese film talent." Lu Chen pulled Wu Ershan to stand in the middle, and then walked down ahead of time.

Or give the interview to the main creators of "The King of Kung Fu".

As for my main time, I have to focus on the release of "Transformers".

"Transformers" has invested more than [-] million US dollars, and Mars Film and Television, as the largest investor, can wait for "Transformers" to be released to withdraw funds.

……

January 2006, 5

The crew of the movie "The King of Kung Fu"

"Transformers" has been screened in the mainland for three days.

Lu Chen is currently on the set and has an independent office in the set.

I didn't want to be on set.

But Universal Pictures Doug has been on set.

If he only participated in the opening ceremony, he would leave. He was afraid that Doug would feel that he was cheating on Universal Films. If he got the money, he would stop staring at the filming.

As for "Painted Skin" directed by Wu Ershan, although it finally earned 2.3 million box office in the mainland, the total box office of the two films has reached 3 million in the mainland, which is a very successful director.

But the qualifications are too low, and he has not won any major awards at film festivals.

"The King of Kung Fu" has Chen Long and Li Lianjie. I am afraid that Wu Ershan will have too much pressure, which will affect the quality of the film. If he is present in the early stage of filming, Wu Ershan's pressure will be much less.

Another reason is that Chen Long and Li Lianjie were invited to participate in the film and said that he was the film producer, if he left the next day after the film was started.

These two kung fu superstars must feel that they have been cheated.

So no matter what, Lu Chen had to stay on the set for a period of time, watching the filming progress, except for the premiere of "Transformers" in the Mainland, he went out for a while, and stayed on the set of "The King of Kung Fu" for the rest of the time.

I have been on the set for half a month now, and I plan to leave the set tomorrow.

I also want to go abroad to attend the premiere of "Transformers" in Europe, America and other countries, and talk about the final matters of "Iron Man" and prepare to shoot "Iron Man".

"Dong dong~" At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in!" Lu Chen looked up and saw a girl came in with a teapot, so he pushed the teacup out.

Continue to look at the documents on the table.

Staying on the set of "The King of Kung Fu".

Although he was watching the filming progress, he would not intervene too much and gave Wu Ershan great power, so there must not be many things.

When I'm free, I'm in the crew's office, preparing the Olympic opening ceremony program, as well as the entire opening ceremony process, including the total time required for the opening ceremony.

These are all things that I, the general director of the Olympic Games, have to be responsible for.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Director Lu." The teapot was poured on Lu Chen's pants.

This shocked Lu Chen a lot. If it gets burned, countless actresses will cry all day long, "Ice soldier? Why are you, my assistant?"

No wonder he just lowered his head and refused to look at his face. It turned out to be Li Bingbing.

And the water in the teapot is always wet.

Not hot at all.

But Lu Chen was really taken aback just now, the water poured on his pants, he didn't feel hot at all, he thought it was too hot, and he didn't feel it.

At that time, I deliberately sensed it, and when I felt it, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Director Lu, I thought, I don't have a role for you today, so I want to serve you." Li Bingbing was about to take off Lu Chen's pants as he said, "Director Lu, your pants are wet, I'll take them for you drying."

"What's the wait, I'm not a master." Lu Chen saw that Li Bingbing was thinking carefully, and scolded him, "As for you having your job, assistants also have jobs for assistants, the company pays you, and you do her job. Did the company fire her, or give you an extra salary?"

have a thought.

can.

You can't joke about this.

In case it burns out, what will I use in the future?
"Director Lu, I was wrong." Li Bingbing lowered his head.

He was afraid that his little thoughts would be discovered and he would be kicked away by Lu Chen.

This half month.

Li Bingbing has always wanted to thank Director Lu for arranging her to act as the second female lead in "The King of Kung Fu", with Chen Long and Li Lianjie.

But never had a good chance.

Liu Yifei is also on the set, even if Liu Yifei is filming, there is also Liu Xiaoli.

Today, both Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli have a role to play, so Li Bingbing has a chance.

So fight for it.

I don't want to just act in one "The King of Kung Fu", but also want to act in more movies starring big names, so as to increase my popularity in the Chinese film industry.

"Okay, let's go out." Lu Chen waved his hand.

"Director Lu, you should change your pants, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to wear when wet." Li Bingbing was very happy when he saw Director Lu agreed, "Director Lu, then get up, so I can take it off for you."

Lu Chen had no choice but to close the document and get up.

Li Bingbing came to the front, took a deep breath, then squatted down, and unbuttoned Lu Chen's pants, his movements were very careful and gentle.

"When I take it to dry later, bring me another pair of pants..." Lu Chen was talking, and immediately felt something was wrong.

This is Li Bingbing.

Not that good, dry pants.

Sure enough, the motive is not pure, but it is for it.

……

"Mom, why are you in such a hurry, besides, the elder brother is busy." Liu Yifei was dragged by her mother to the elder brother's office just after filming.

"Stupid daughter, you really don't know anything. Don't worry, you won't be in a hurry. You also have to love to learn what I teach you. I do all this for your own good." Liu Xiaoli said For a while, I have been teaching Liu Yifei how to hold a man.

Including other aspects of experience, anyway, to my daughter, it is all to teach her.

It's just a silly daughter who has conflicts in some aspects and is embarrassed to learn.

"Mom, I got it." Liu Yifei's face flushed instantly. It's okay to let herself learn acting skills, but she can't learn other things at all.

Unless drinking is about the same, only in this way can you let go.

Liu Xiaoli stopped again, arranged her daughter's appearance to be the most beautiful, and then continued to drag her daughter to Lu Chen's office.

"Mom, what's the matter?" At the door of the office, she stopped suddenly, with a puzzled look on Liu Yifei's face.

"Let's wait outside first." Liu Xiaoli turned around and pulled Liu Yifei to leave.

"But, Mom, I heard movement inside, the sound of a table rattling." Liu Yifei was very worried, "Did I accidentally fall, Senior Brother?"

Shouts were also heard.

It's just that the voice doesn't sound like Senior Brother's, after all, it's not a man's voice at all.

"There is no movement, you heard it wrong." Liu Xiaoli pulled Liu Yifei outside, "It's not that you don't want to come to Xiaochen, then we will come again next time."

"Mom, I have to go see my senior brother." Seeing her mother like this, Liu Yifei became even more worried, wondering if her senior brother stood up, fainted suddenly, and hit the table.

"What are you looking at?" Liu Xiaoli pulled her daughter back, "Don't watch when you should, and you have to watch when you shouldn't, daughter, why can't you know more like me, if you continue like this, Sooner or later, your senior brother will belong to someone else."

As someone who has been there, Liu Xiaoli knew that she would definitely not be able to enter at this time. If it was serious, she would be cleared out of Mars Films and Television, and if it was light, she might lose her role in "The King of Kung Fu".

"Mom, why are you talking about this again?" Liu Yifei was also worried, fearing that her position would be replaced in the future.

Now more and more young girls are applying for Beijing Film Academy and joining the film and television industry.

Because the current film and television industry, ever since the birth of director Lu Chen, has been extremely hot, and it is one of the fastest growing industries.

They all dreamed of being spotted by director Lu Chen, and thus becoming the new Four Little Stars, and becoming household names.

"When Xiaochen comes out, you can ask Xiaochen to watch a movie, and watch the most popular "Transformers" at the moment." Liu Xiaoli taught her daughter how to do it, "When watching a movie, you have to express it consciously or unconsciously. Come on, it would be great if you played the heroine of "Transformers"."

Xiao Chen is leaving the film crew today.

For the past half a month, I have helped my daughter keep it.

But in the last half of the day, he was still negligent.

But tonight, I have to let my daughter accompany Xiaochen.

I have to let my daughter use the knowledge I taught, so that I can remember it.

In this way, when Xiaochen leaves his daughter, he will think about that beautiful moment at night.

Only after finishing all the business, hurry to find my daughter and experience it again.

Otherwise, it will be another month, throwing her daughter aside, and not even looking at it.

"But "Transformers" is played by Yang Mi, the film has been shot and released, so why talk about this?" Liu Yifei didn't want to say much.

When "Transformers" was filming, Shi Ge had been abroad for several months and hadn't been able to see each other.

"Silly daughter." Liu Xiaoli pointed to Liu Yifei's head, "After that, you don't want to be the heroine of the movies your senior brother makes in the future."

I thought that if the female lead in "Transformers" was given to my daughter, it would definitely make my daughter more famous internationally.

"Think!" Liu Yifei nodded emphatically.

"Mrs. Liu, Yifei, what are you doing here?" At this moment, a middle-aged man came over, followed by a female assistant.

"President Wang?" Liu Xiaoli was puzzled when she saw Wang Zhonglei.

"The King of Kung Fu" was invested by Mars Film and Television, and the film was packaged and sold to Universal Films before the filming started.

Why did Wang Zhonglei from Huaying Brothers come to the crew of "The King of Kung Fu".

Of course, Xiaochen and Huaying Brothers were partners before.

But it's not what it used to be.

When we first collaborated on "A World Without Thieves", Mars Films was still a newly established film and television company, but Huaying Brothers had already produced many successful works.

But now, with the scale of Huaying Brothers, they are not worthy of cooperating with Mars Film and Television. The cooperation is all Huana Brothers.

"Mrs. Liu, what are you dressed up for? Are you acting?" Wang Zhonglei looked at Liu Xiaoli's costume, "What are you acting in "The King of Kung Fu?"

To surprise.

Knowing that Liu Xiaoli has never acted in a movie, she only played the role of Mrs. Xiang in the musical "Chu Yun".

But Liu Xiaoli is quite familiar with the film industry, she brought her daughter out, and now she hugs Director Lu's thigh tightly.

"Play the role of 'The Queen Mother'." Liu Xiaoli didn't want to act at first, but Xiaochen invited her, and she definitely agreed, and she agreed unconditionally to any request from Xiaochen.

"The Queen Mother?" Wang Zhonglei was stunned for a moment, and then gave a thumbs up in the next second, "Mrs. Liu, when you say that, it's really the same as the Queen Mother descending to earth."

I wanted to say in my heart, Director Lu still knows how to play.

Queen Mother!

I really can figure it out.

He really deserves to be the most imaginative director in the Chinese-speaking world.

And this 'Queen Mother' costume, worn on Liu Xiaoli's body, is even more tasteful.

"Mr. Wang, why not? I'm just an ordinary person, an ordinary woman." Liu Xiaoli was very happy when she heard the compliment, and when she thought of something, "Mr. Wang, what's the matter with you?"

"I'm looking for Director Lu to discuss some things." Wang Zhonglei glanced at the front office, "Director Lu is inside."

"Mr. Wang!" Liu Xiaoli yelled, "Go in later, Xiaochen is taking a lunch break?"

"Lunch break?" Wang Zhonglei glanced at the sky outside, it was past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the lunch break time had already passed.

Then the office door opened.

Li Bingbing came out from the inside, noticed someone in front of him, and immediately tidied up his messy hair and messy clothes, and when he thought of something, he quickly wiped his mouth carefully with his small hands.

"Okay." Liu Xiaoli and her party came over.

"President Wang, Aunt Liu." Li Bingbing hurriedly called someone, and then quickly ran away.

"Mrs. Liu, you are also here to find Director Lu, then let's go in together." Wang Zhonglei shouted.

Liu Xiaoli withdrew her sharp gaze, but now Li Bingbing had already disappeared from sight.

"Dong Dong~"

"Enter!"

Lu Chen stared at the three people who came in, stunned for a moment, then got up to greet them, "Mr. Wang, rare visitor, what kind of wind is blowing you here, hurry up and ask for a seat."

Although Wang Zhonglei's current status is not as big as his own.

But Lu Chen would still give Wang Zhonglei some thin noodles.

It is also for the sake of previous cooperation.

But Wang Zhonglei wants to invest in the works of Mars Film and Television, that won't work.

Feelings belong to feelings, business belongs to business.

Except for items that don't make money.

If it is a project that must make money.

They won’t give up a piece of the pie for no reason, unless it can bring greater benefits to Mars Film and Television, or they need the other party. For example, if they want to shoot a movie for the world, they need a Hollywood film company to help distribute the movie globally.

"Senior Brother, Teacher Li Bingbing, what were you doing here just now?" Liu Yifei remembered waiting outside with her mother for at least an hour.

"Daughter, didn't you see that Mr. Wang has something important to discuss with this little minister? Why do you ask these insignificant things?" Liu Xiaoli took her daughter and came to the sofa area to sit, "Mr. Wang, you talk to Mr. Wang , and our mother and daughter don't bother, if you do, let's go out first."

When Wang Zhonglei saw Lu Chen looking at him, he immediately waved his hand, expressing that he would not disturb.

"Sit down!" Lu Chen didn't need to change his pants anymore. After such a long time, he let the female assistant come over and make a pot of tea.

When pouring the tea, I lowered my body to lean back, because I was afraid that I would be like Li Bingbing just now.

Wang Zhonglei took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and congratulated instead of talking about business, "Director Lu, congratulations, another masterpiece is released in theaters."

"On the first day, it won 5934 million box office in the mainland. In the past three days, it has not fallen out of the ranks of 5000 million a day. In three days, it has already won 1.6 million. The box office trend is quite strong."

1.6 million in three days.

The myth was created again.

Although it is not as good as the data of "Changjin Lake" which broke 10 billion.

But "Transformers" has no organized viewing.

All the audience spontaneously took money into the cinema to support.

Three days.

Won 1.6 million box office.

The 1.6 million alone can rank among the top ten in the mainland's annual box office.

But this is just the box office data of "Transformers" for three days.

Once "Transformers" was released, just like Director Lu's previous works, it turned out to be a masterpiece that brought about a viewing craze across the country.

On the day of the release, Wang Zhonglei went to see it.

first impression.

Shock!

Deep shock!
I never thought that this is a movie made by a Chinese director.

This is definitely the world's top special effects blockbuster.

The special effects are from other Chinese-language movies, which cannot be caught up by fans.

For film special effects production, there are the world's top special effects company Industrial Light and Magic, as well as the famous Mercury special effects in World War I.

I heard that when "Transformers" was released, many domestic directors had to find Mercury Special Effects to do the special effects, but the price was a bit expensive, and of course it was the standard of Mercury Special Effects, according to Hollywood.

This made Wang Zhonglei quite a headache. Originally, directors were all like the same for movie special effects, and they didn't have such high requirements. Now director Lu made the special effects of Chinese-language movies world-class in "Transformers".

This raised the eyes of movie audiences. How can the special effects of movies be sloppy in the future?

Since then, the cost of film production has skyrocketed.

It puts a lot of pressure on the film companies. Mars Films and Television is forcing Chinese-language films to improve film quality and production costs.

Mars Film and Television is like a giant beast, and it is still growing step by step, making the bosses of major film companies tremble, fearing that the next time Mars Film and Television opens its mouth, it will be itself.

"President Wang, let's talk about business." Lu Chen said that it was business.

Otherwise, Wang Zhonglei would have to flatter "Transformers" for a long time, which would be a waste of time.

In Wang Zhonglei's heart, he really admired director Lu Chen, he was really calm, 1.6 million in three days, all won by hard power, this achievement can make any Chinese director boast for several years.

But after thinking about it, I also felt that Lu Chen's reaction was normal. The real market for "Transformers" directed by Director Lu is the European and American markets, which is the most important thing.

Investing in "Transformers" depends entirely on the mainland market in China, and it is impossible to get back the capital, unless everyone in China goes to the movies.

"Director Lu, I would like to ask you to help our Huaying Brothers rewrite a movie script." Wang Zhonglei said the purpose of coming, "Our Huaying Brothers will pay 1000 million, and invite Lu Director to be the chief editor of the script adaptation of the movie."

Director Lu Chen didn't want to be a director.

Of course, Huaying Brothers couldn't afford it, the price was simply sky-high.

As for the high price, the return is also high, and the payment is directly proportional to the return.

Director Lu Chen was also unwilling to be a producer.

I had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and ask Director Lu to be the screenwriter.

As for the screenwriting fee of 1000 million, it is definitely the highest in the history of Chinese-language films.

He also said that as long as Director Lu agrees to adapt the script of the new movie of Huaying Brothers, some important supporting roles in the movie can be arranged by artists from Mars Film and Television. Who will play depends entirely on Director Lu Chen's words.

"Who directs the movie?" Lu Chen asked, his heart moved.

It's also been tight recently.

If it wasn't for the tight budget, he wouldn't have specially produced "The King of Kung Fu" and sold it to Universal Pictures.

"Director Feng!" Now Huaying Brothers and Feng Xiaogang are absolutely close partners.

Director Feng Xiaogang failed to shoot "The Banquet" before, and he was holding a breath in his heart.

The box office in the mainland is only over [-] million, which is the same as the new director Ning Hao's "Golden Heist".

Feng Xiaogang wants to regroup.

The Huaying Brothers and the Second King Brothers must support it.

The main reason is now that the company has no director who can stand up to the big banner, and only supports director Feng Xiaogang.

"What type of movie is it?" Lu Chen asked again.

1000 million is not profitable, it is not profitable, anyway, it is just writing.
