Chapter 217 Domestic Special Effects Ceiling

"Like Director Lu's "Changjin Lake", it belongs to the genre of war." Wang Zhonglei said, taking out a book, "Director Feng plans to adapt this novel and make it into a movie."

Lu Chen took it and opened it. There were two big characters 'lawsuit' on it. He opened it and read it for a while.

Wang Zhonglei waited for Lu Chen to close the novel, and hurriedly said, "Director Lu, is that okay?"

1000 million.

Just rewrite one story please.

It costs more than film director Feng Xiaogang to direct.

It can be regarded as the highest paid person in the movie.

The Huaying Brothers are willing to pay 1000 million.

One is director Lu Chen's screenwriting ability. Original film stories include "Inception", "Wu Shuang", "A Family of Thieves", "Changjin Lake" and so on.

Adaptations include "Blind Well", "A World Without Thieves", "Let the Bullets Fly" and so on.

Director Lu Chen's screenwriting ability has already been recognized by movie fans all over the world.

The second is the influence of director Lu Chen. As long as the name of director Lu Chen is in the movie, it will guarantee the box office. The director most recognized by domestic fans is Director Lu.

So the 1000 million is worth the extra money.

And there are other conditions attached, the important supporting roles in the movie, Director Lu can arrange the artists of Martian Film and Television.

"Mr. Wang, you have come forward in person, of course." Lu Chen changed his tone, "As for the fee, the fee has to be paid in advance, and the 1000 million figure is too round, not good, let's say 500 million."

"Okay, 1000 million to 500 million." Wang Zhonglei didn't even think about it, and agreed to add another 500 million. It's a trivial matter for Director Lu's box office appeal.

This time, I specially invited Director Lu.

I also hope that the new movie directed by Feng Xiaogang will have a breakthrough at the box office.

Previously, the box office of "The Banquet" in the mainland was only 1.2 million, which is the same as the film investment funds.

"Night Banquet" also caused Feng Xiaogang to be scolded by domestic audiences.

This time for the new movie, Director Lu, a great god, was invited to sit in the lineup, just to ensure the box office, so that Director Feng can break the director's career record, instead of being trampled by the media, who is not as good as the sixth generation of directors.

Director Feng Xiaogang is Huaying Brothers' biggest name, and the two brothers must hope that Director Feng will achieve good results.

Liu Xiaoli was shocked, 500 million yuan hired Xiaochen to be the screenwriter, which might break the record of screenwriting fees for Chinese-language films.

Of course, it is also clear that this must be worth it.

In other words, Wang Zhonglei had worked with Xiaochen before.

Otherwise, Xiaochen will definitely not agree, this is just to give Huaying Brothers a face.

"Director Lu, then I'll let the company prepare the contract later, and you have time to sign it." Wang Zhonglei looked at the assistant beside him, "Tell the company's accountant to pay Director Lu now."

"President Wang." Lu Chen said he was not in a hurry, "After the contract is signed, the payment will be made."

"That's according to Director Lu." Now facing Lu Chen, Wang Zhonglei has completed becoming a younger brother, and besides, he came to ask Director Lu Chen to be the screenwriter of the movie, "Director Lu, after you rewrite the script, please give the film a credit." a name."

"I'll choose the name. Director Feng must not have any objections." Lu Chen said in a joking tone.

domestic media.

He has always been the sixth-generation director who holds himself as the head.

Stepping on the fifth generation of directors.

The sixth and fifth generation directors seem to be incompatible.

In fact, Lu Chen is quite familiar with the fifth-generation well-known directors Zhang Yingmou, Chen Kaige and others.

There are also many fifth-generation directors in the northwest circle, and Lu Chen is friends with these directors.

It's just that Lu Chen has never worked with a fifth-generation director, so it's not a matter of incompatibility at all.

As for Feng Xiaogang, he didn't know much about him.

After all, Director Feng is a member of the Beijing Circle, and he is from the Northwest Circle.

"How can Director Feng have any objections? If you know that Director Lu is willing to take charge of the adaptation of the movie script, you will definitely be very happy." Wang Zhonglei flattered Lu Chen, "And invite Director Lu, this is also Director Feng's job." mean."

Before Feng Xiaogang faced Lu Chen, a new director, he was indeed dissatisfied, but since "Inception" was released, he knew that it was no longer comparable.

When "Let the Bullets Fly" was released, it topped the domestic box office.

At that time Feng Xiaogang felt that "The Banquet" could also break the record of "Let the Bullets Fly".

However, the release of the movie poured cold water on Feng Xiaogang, and the box office only exceeded [-] million yuan, which is far behind "Let the Bullets Fly".

Then to "Inception" and "Changjin Lake" after Lu Chen.

The fifth-generation directors have already been left behind, and there is no comparison. Now the media are comparing Ning Hao, Yang Lei, and Wu Ershan under Lu Chen.

Just like Director Lu Chen has jumped out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, and is no longer on the same level as other people.

And now Feng Xiaogang wants to seriously cooperate with director Lu once, to see if he can record his own career as a director.

"Then it's fine if you don't have an opinion." Lu Chen was also worried. It was Wang Zhonglei who came to find him behind Feng Xiaogang's back. If so, he would definitely not cooperate.

"Then Director Lu, I won't bother you." Wang Zhonglei saw the good things being discussed, and left knowingly.

After all, there are Madam Liu and her daughter in the office, so Director Lu's precious time cannot be wasted.

"Aunt Liu, Yifei, you haven't changed your costumes yet, so come here in such a hurry, do you have something important to do?" Only then did Lu Chen realize that the mother and daughter were both wearing costumes.

Liu Yifei's costume is quite simple.

For young girls, the clothes should not be flashy, so simple is good-looking, pure, like a fairy descending to earth.

As for Aunt Liu, her costume is very gorgeous, after all, she is playing the role of "The Queen Mother", so what is her status?

"Xiaochen, it's not that Yifei has been filming and doesn't have time to watch "Transformers" directed by you." Liu Xiaoli helped her daughter and said, "In addition, Xiaochen, you are leaving the crew today, so Yifei wants to invite You watch a movie, can you watch it?"

Lu Chen couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed.

"Brother, let's go quickly." Liu Yifei instantly became happy.

"Why are you going, are you going to the movies in this outfit?" Liu Xiaoli reminded.

Only then did Liu Yifei realize that if she was wearing a costume, she had to change it on the spot.

"Yifei, this is not a dressing room. You take it off, what will you wear to go out?" Lu Chen wanted to say, should I go out in three-point-one style? Besides, if Yifei is changing costumes here, will Aunt Liu change?
……

Peking, Jupiter Cinema
"Senior brother, I'm going to buy movie tickets." Liu Yifei was with Lu Chen after she came out, the smile was always on her cheeks, and it never faded, which showed how happy she was.

"No, I bought it." Lu Chen asked the theater manager to prepare two tickets.

In the metropolis of Beiping, there is Jupiter Cinemas with the most advanced cinema equipment.

Definitely hard to get a ticket.

Now if you want to watch a movie when you come here, you have to buy a scalper ticket.

Yifei wore a Chanel white dress, which looked like the daughter of a rich and powerful family, and she couldn't be harassed for price.

Originally, Lu Chen wanted the theater manager to leave a hall so that it would be quieter.

However, Lu Chen really wanted to take a look, and the audience who watched the movie reacted on the spot.

"Senior brother, you've prepared everything in advance~" Liu Yifei was even happier, showing that senior brother attached great importance to this date with her, and everything was prepared in advance, including the hotel room.

"Let's go in." Lu Chen held Yifei's hand.

At the entrance of the cinema, there was an endless stream of people entering and leaving.

If you don't hold hands, I'm afraid that you will get lost later, and you won't be able to explain to Aunt Liu.

Then you can't accompany Aunt Liu with a daughter, and let Aunt Liu have another one.

"Wow, this is the beauty of a man and a woman. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. They are a natural match." Before entering the movie theater, he was stopped by a middle-aged man, who looked like a scammer.

Liu Yifei was very happy when she heard "a couple born in heaven".

Lu Chen really wanted to ask, which eye could see it? Both Yifei and Yifei were public figures, so they both wore big sunglasses, masks, and covered their faces tightly, because they were afraid of being recognized by others.

"Brother, beauty, do you want a ticket?" The middle-aged man took out a stack of tickets, "I have tickets for any show of "Transformers", and the price is affordable..."

"Sorry, we already have tickets, but thank you anyway." Liu Yifei liked the other party's compliment that she and her senior brother were a good match.

"Have you got a ticket?" The middle-aged man immediately changed his tone again, "If the ticket is not sold, I will charge one hundred. The fare is eighty, so the net profit is twenty. Now the job in Beiping can earn two dollars an hour." Tens are very rare, and these are two tickets, earning forty is already a day's wages."

"Transformers" was released, and the major domestic movie theaters priced it at 50 to 80.

Like the best cinema in Peking, it must be 80 per ticket.

Ever since Lu Chen held a meeting on movie ticket prices with domestic film and television personnel.

Domestic movie ticket prices have gradually risen.

Of course, this requires the guarantee of high-quality movies, otherwise the ticket price will be expensive, but the movie will not look good, which will be counterproductive.

Director Lu Chen will be in charge of excellent films, and use excellent films to drive the entire mainland film market.

"We don't sell it, we have to watch it ourselves." Don't say a hundred, Liu Yifei won't sell it for a million, and he is not short of money. This is a date with his senior brother. Besides, he has never seen "Transformers" and wants to watch it one time.

Although I haven't seen it.

But I followed the news of "Transformers" on the Internet, and all major forums are discussing it.

#What are special effects?This is a blockbuster with special effects, hearty visual impact, personally mind that you must go to a big movie theater to watch "Transformers" to experience, what is a blockbuster with special effects that cost more than 1 million U.S. dollars#
#《Transformers》The special effects of the transformation of the Autobots are definitely the world's top special effects display. The picture is so real that it seems that there are really Autobots in this world#
#Who can imagine that such a blockbuster special effects film with visual impact is directed by a Chinese-speaking director, and domestic special effects Mercury special effects participate in the production#
#霍森director, once again changed the history of Chinese film, from now on Chinese film special effects will rise, let us look forward to the future Chinese special effects blockbuster #
#I have to invite Director Chen Kaige to take a look, what is movie special effects, "The Promise" also said to invest [-] million, domestic special effects ceiling, "Transformers" is the domestic special effects ceiling#
# "Transformers" appeared, the most advanced weapons in the United States, including the most advanced fifth-generation fighters, I suggest that the weapon research department should talk to Director Lu, maybe we will have a breakthrough in weapon research and development#
In the crew of "The King of Kung Fu", Liu Yifei was very happy to see all the positive reviews of "Transformers" on the Internet, and knew that once the work of Shige was released, it would definitely cause a sensation.

"Girl, I think you are as old as my daughter, so I advise you, don't watch it." The middle-aged man saw that he was unwilling to sell, and said sincerely: "The movie is very bad, if it hadn't been for "Let the Bullets Fly" " and Director Lu of "Inception", it is estimated that no one will go to the cinema to watch it."

"What did you say!" Liu Yifei immediately became angry when she heard the words, "Why do you say that the movie is not good, all the forums are boasting about Transformers."

"Girl, that's all Dao Lu's fans are boasting, and don't be angry, I'll add another ten yuan, how about one hundred and one for your ticket, with this money, how good it is to play with your boyfriend, see What kind of movie is it?" The middle-aged man continued to step on the movie, ""Transformers" is for children to watch, a bunch of toys fighting, very boring."

"Girl, this scalper lied to you." The audience next to him heard it, and immediately came over to complain, "I've seen "Transformers", it's not a toy fight, it's a 20-meter-tall Autobot, and the special effects are definitely worth it Back to the ticket price, and in the movie, there is also a display of the most advanced weapons in the world, your boyfriend will definitely like it."

"That's right, scalpers are the worst." Another passer-by became angry when he said that, "Seeing that we have tickets in our hands, they say the movie is not good, so we will pay back it at a high price."

"I sold it that day and made a profit of [-] yuan. Friends who came back and watched it said that "Transformers" was very good-looking and full of visual impact. I bought it for [-] yuan, but the movie is definitely worth the ticket price."

Of course, it is also during the golden viewing time, and it is also in the big movie theaters that there are such scalpers. The big theaters have a good viewing effect, especially special effects blockbusters.

The audience next to him heard the words and agreed, expressing their dissatisfaction with the scalpers.

As for the scalpers, they ran away before seeing the situation.

"Yifei, let's go in quickly." Lu Chen held hands and walked into the movie theater. He was also afraid of being discovered later. Although his face was tightly covered, he was so famous that he was still afraid of being recognized by sharp-eyed people.

If this is recognized, the movie will definitely not be able to be watched, and it will also affect the normal operation of the movie theater.

Liu Yifei really wanted to hear it, and everyone praised "Transformers", but the senior brother wanted to come in, so he had to follow him to the cinema.

At this time, the movie theater was already crowded with people.

The main reason is that this is the largest cinema in Peking with the most advanced equipment.

Especially suitable for watching special effects blockbusters like "Transformers".

The visual impact is full, so many people come here to watch the movie.

And last time, I was shocked by the special effects of the movie.

Or Spielberg's Jurassic Park.

"Transformers" once again let the audience feel what the world's most advanced special effects technology is.

Moreover, the director of "Transformers" is a Chinese director, Director Lu, which makes the Chinese people proud.

"Brother, everyone likes "Transformers" very much, and even the children have come to see it." Liu Yifei found that there were quite a few families of three.

"Transformers is a toy brand that is well-known in China, and many children like it." Although there are many counterfeit "Transformers" toys, it does not affect its reputation in China.

"No, that's the influence of senior brother. If it weren't for senior brother, would the global sales of Transformers toys have increased?" Liu Yifei could pay attention to foreign news. Since "Transformers" was announced, the sales of Transformers toy series have been rising.

Especially the "Transformers" live-action movie co-branded Wanzhen, which sold very well.

I believe that when "Transformers" is released in Europe and America, it will sell even more.

"Don't crowd, everyone, line up one by one." The cinema staff arranged the ticket gates of each cinema hall, mainly because there were too many people and it was night.

Every hall is full of seats.

The last time was "Changjin Lake".

Of course, both films were written by Director Lu.

This is the influence of the No.1 young director in the world, which is unmatched by any domestic director.

"Yifei, let's go to line up." Lu Chen held Yifei's hand all the time, just to prevent getting lost, looking at the crowd around him, he was in a good mood.

This is money.

It's all banknotes one by one.

Lu Chen is in charge of Jupiter Cinemas and is also the film distributor.

As long as "Transformers" is played in Jupiter theaters, the ticket price will be more than 90 yuan, and it will go into the pockets of Lu Chenqi's company.

Liu Yifei's little hand has been held by the senior brother, and she is very happy, and her body is also tightly attached to the senior brother, just like a bird.

Lu Chen didn't notice Yifei's small movements. Instead, he looked at the big screen in the movie theater and watched the filming of "Transformers". As for the next movie, he had to observe the reactions of the audience around him.

The ticket price of "Transformers" is not cheap, and more than 90.00% of the audience will only watch it once.

Therefore, when entering a movie theater, it is almost the first time to watch it. These people's reactions after watching the movie can help Lu Chen understand more clearly the domestic audience's attitude towards special effects movies.

After all, the filming of "Transformers" was just to prepare for the 3D movie "The Wandering Earth".
