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

Chapter 218 Director Lu is awesome!
The lights in the cinema hall went out.

Everyone stopped talking.

Before coming here, I have already read the comments on "Transformers" on the Internet.

The film newspaper gave "Transformers" a high evaluation, saying that Director Lu's new movie will definitely change the pattern of Chinese special effects movies. From then on, special effects movies will occupy an important place in Chinese movies.

"Transformers" opened the door to Chinese special effects movies.

There are also viewers who have watched it, and they praised "Transformers" on the forum.

Not only the special effects of "Transformers" are good.

The adaptation of the story of "Transformers" is also very good.

Set the world's most advanced weapons as "autobots", not only can you see the world's top special effects, but also the world's most advanced weapon equipment display.

Regarding the war scenes in "Transformers", it was even more like a war movie.

Of course, everyone knows that Lu Chen has made "Changjin Lake", and he is very good at war scenes. When it comes to making war movies, no one in China can beat director Lu Chen.

There are also movie stories that are quite exciting, with clear logic and ingenious design of each plot transition.

After all, no matter how powerful the special effects are, it also needs a wonderful story to match. Only when both are excellent can it be an excellent world-class special effects blockbuster.

"Senior brother, everyone is staring at the screen, including couples." Liu Yifei saw that senior brother was observing the audience around him, and followed suit.

Before Liu Yifei met Lu Chen, she often went to the movies.

It is clear that many of the couples in the movie theater are here for dates. Watching movies is not the main thing, and they don't pay much attention to movies.

And now the couples in the movie theater are all looking at the big screen, and they are full of anticipation for the upcoming "Transformers".

Lu Chen signaled to watch the movie and keep silent.

Liu Yifei immediately covered her mouth with her small hand, which was quite cute.

At this time, familiar music sounded.

The dragon sign appears.

"Transformers" is a co-production between China and the United States, and it will be released in theaters as a Huaguo film, so that Mars Films and Television can get more shares.

The Dragon Ball is played.

It is the producer Mars Film and Television.

Wait for the production and production company to show up.

The film also features sound, an introduction to the world of Transformers.

And the film's main creative team.

Producer: Spielberg

Starring: Shia LaBeouf, Yang Mi

……

Director System/Chief Director: Lu Chen
The movie also really entered the feature film.

"MV-22 'Osprey' tiltrotor aircraft!" Immediately someone exclaimed in the cinema, and when they saw everyone watching, they hurriedly expressed their embarrassment because the sound was too loud just now.

I was very excited.

As a military fan, I specially spent 80 yuan to watch "Transformers".

Unexpectedly, at the beginning, it was the most advanced transport helicopter in the world.

The Osprey helicopter can fly forward, backward, sideways, and even somersault in the air. It does not need an airport, as long as there is a small open space, it can take off and land, and can be vertically lifted, hovering in the air smoothly, deep Loved by military fans.

Wait for the Osprey helicopter to transport soldiers to the overseas military bases of the United States.

There is a shot of the F-117 "Nighthawk" stealth fighter.

Quietly stopped at the military base.

When Lu Chen was filming, he hoped that the F-117 stealth fighter jet would be able to take off and fight, so he arranged the shots in the film, but was rejected because it involved confidentiality.

In the Kosojong War in the 90s, one F117 was shot down by Yugoslavia.

At that time, the country learned that it had asked the Yugoslavia to ask whether it could hand over some of the equipment and wreckage of the F-117 to us for research, or even pay for it.

In the end, Yugoslavia handed over the F-117's navigation equipment, the skin wreckage with invisible paint, and the high-temperature resistant parts of the engine nozzle to Huaguo in a secret state.

It is estimated that it is because of this.

Otherwise, the fifth-generation fighter F22 agreed, and it could be arranged to take off in the movie. The F117 stealth fighter was only willing to give an outbound shot parked at the airport, and was not allowed to approach it at the time of filming.

The next scene is the Black Hawk helicopter, and the F22 Raptor fighter jet, the world's first fifth-generation fighter jet in service.

At the beginning of the movie, the most advanced machine in the world appeared, and it was again at an overseas base in the United States.

Military fans were very excited.

It also made other audiences puzzled, isn't it a special effects movie?

Why does it look like a modern war movie?

There are fighter jets, helicopters, and American overseas military bases and combat soldiers.

But when the MH-53 "Pavers Low" heavy assault transport helicopter, also known as the 'Autobot' Vertigo began to transform.

"Wow~"

The movie theater audience let out a gasp.

Mouth opened in shock.

A helicopter transforms into a huge Autobot. The transformation process is particularly smooth, without any trace of special effects. It is natural, which shows the excellent special effects.

Unlike some movies, the special effects are produced by special effects at first glance. Often the best special effects are produced, and the audience can't see any traces of special effects.

Of course this is just the beginning.

Next, the 'Autobots' transformed, and they exploded one by one, especially the transformation of Optimus Prime, which shocked everyone even more, and the visual impact was full.

Some people who understand movies can feel that funds are burning from this shot.

Liu Yifei on the side, his eyes were attracted by the movie, and he no longer looked at Lu Chen next to him affectionately. This is the first special effects movie of Shige, and he did not expect it to be so wonderful.

It can completely redefine special effects movies.

"It's amazing!" Some people in the cinema exclaimed.

The explosion of the movie's special effects doesn't look like it was shot by a Chinese-speaking director.

I don't know, but I thought it was the filmmaker Spielberg who directed the film.

However, Spielberg has stated in public that as the producer of "Transformers", he only helps Lu Chen coordinate the filming work, and the film is entirely created by the director Lu Chen.

The prototypes of the Autobots in the movie "Transformers" were all designed by Lu Chen, with minor changes, and the world's most advanced fighter jets and helicopters were arranged for the prototypes of the Autobots in the movie.

It's not just cars.

After all, if there were only cars, it would be a Autobot toy war.

The arrangement of advanced weapons and equipment will add one more element to the movie and one more attraction.

Lu Chen observed, and the reactions of the audience around him were so shocked that they were stunned. They probably didn't believe that a Chinese-language director could make such a good special effects movie.

Of course, I can understand the shock of the audience. The special effects of "Transformers" will be top-notch after 20 years. After [-] years, the special effects of domestic movies will not be able to reach the level of "Transformers".

Domestic special effects are not good, and the biggest reason is insufficient budget.

The plate of the domestic film market cannot support large-scale films.

This is also the reason why Lu Chen has always wanted to promote Chinese-language films to the world. He needs to rely on the world film market to pay back his capital, so as to have more funds and produce films with higher costs.

Movies are both an art and a business. At most, one or two films are made for ideals and spent money. If you want healthy development, it is not advisable to do business at a loss.

Profit is always a necessary condition for the development of the industry.

From the shocked expressions on everyone's faces after watching "Transformers", Lu Chen can conclude that mainland movie audiences still recognize special effects movies.

Willing to spend money to enter the cinema, this also makes Lu Chen more confident about the future 3D movie "The Wandering Earth".

"It's so enjoyable, Director Lu is amazing!" After the film's behind-the-scenes staff appeared and the feature film ended, the audience in the movie theater could finally comment loudly, sighing in their hearts, and kept saying that Director Lu was awesome.

"As far as the special effects in "The Promise" are concerned, it is not enough to lift the shoes of "Transformers." Passerby A expressed his opinion, "It is worthy of being rated by the film newspaper as the work that opened the door to Chinese-language special effects movies."

"After "Transformers", Chinese special effects movies will definitely usher in a big explosion in the future, and our audience can feast their eyes. We have to thank Director Lu."

"Long live Director Lu!" The audience next to him shouted, "Director Lu always surprises us in every movie. We are lucky to have such a director in Chinese."

"That's why we have to support Director Lu." Another audience member, with a proud expression on his face, said, "The three-day box office of Director Lu's new work did not fall below 5000 million a day, and it won 1.6 million in three days, and the box office is still strong. I am afraid that there is a high possibility that it will exceed 5 million."

As soon as this word comes out.

Everyone else agrees.

Liu Yifei was also very happy.

"This is Director Lu's strength." Passerby C said excitedly: "Currently, Lu Chen accounts for half of the works in China that exceed [-] million yuan, and the Martian system also accounts for more than half."

"As for the domestic film market, only "Changjin Lake" and "Let the Bullets Fly" are produced by Director Lu. Now "Transformers" is also expected to break [-] million. What is it? This is the existence of being proud of the crowd, and there is no one who can fight."

"Yes, there isn't anyone who can hit it." The audience next to him agreed, "Fortunately, we have a director Lu in the Chinese film industry. Otherwise, I am afraid that in the future, our film market will be dominated by foreign blockbusters."

This sentence has been recognized by more audiences.

The fifth-generation directors made good movies in the last century, and they all became famous in the 80s and [-]s of the last century.

When entering the new century, the country will open up private film capital.

Films have entered a high-speed development path, and film investment has also increased. In the last century, it was almost impossible for mainland films to exceed [-] million yuan. In the new century, film investment has reached hundreds of millions.

But the fifth-generation directors, shooting films with an investment of over [-] million yuan, failed to satisfy the audience.

Fortunately, under the leadership of director Lu Chen, the sixth generation of directors has risen strongly, bringing more excellent and good-looking movies to the audience, as well as big productions that have harvested box office around the world.

Fans feel that director Lu Chen, as the media said, is the man the Chinese film industry has been waiting for, the man who can lead Chinese films to conquer the world.

"Yes, Director Lu is amazing, and "Transformers" is so good, I'll watch it again later." Liu Yifei couldn't help joining the discussion, "I watched "Transformers" just now, and I was so shocked that I kept staring at it. I can’t take my eyes off the screen, I haven’t seen such a visually impactful movie for a long time.”

Lu Chen saw Yifei persuade everyone that "Transformers" should be watched more than twice to be enjoyable, so he gave a thumbs up and praised, knowing that it would make the company more money.

But now that there are so many people, you can't say too much. If someone recognizes you, it will be troublesome, so you quickly drag Yifei out of the studio.

Come to the cinema hall.

There are more people than before.

It is mainly at nine o'clock in the evening, which is the peak time for watching movies.

The audience who came out of each hall of the cinema had shocked expressions.

What a blockbuster!

"Transformers" is a top special effects blockbuster.

The cost of film production can be felt in the film, and every special effect screen can feel the funds burning.

Unlike the previous "The Promise", the audience didn't know where the [-] million flowers were, and they didn't invite a few big stars. Top Chinese movie stars Ge You, Gong Li, and Chow Yun-fat didn't participate.

The actors' remuneration must not have cost much. As for the special effects, I thought they were qualified before.

Now compared with "Transformers", the special effects of "The Promise" are special effects, and the viewing experience is not good at all.

"Brother, is the movie good?" Some audience members who were still hesitating in the movie theater asked those who came out after watching the movie.

This is the best Jupiter cinema in Beiping. The ticket price of "Transformers" is 80 yuan, which has exceeded the daily wages of many people.

If the movie doesn't look good, it's a big loss.

"What should I say, "Transformers" invested hundreds of millions of dollars, all spent where everyone can see, the special effects..." The audience stopped abruptly after saying this, "Anyway, I can't describe it in words, you You will know it after watching it, it is so wonderful, besides, it is directed by Director Lu himself, which is the guarantee of quality."

Many viewers who have watched the movie agree.

It means that the impact of the special effects brought by the special effects of "Transformers" is absolutely the same as that of "Jurassic Park".

When "Jurassic Park" was released, most of the people were children. Unlike "Transformers" now, they have grown up and can come to the cinema to experience blockbuster special effects.

Moreover, the director of "Transformers" is Director Lu, a Chinese-language director, and is no longer a foreign director.

"Don't watch it, let's go out quickly." Lu Chen pulled Yifei out of the movie theater, feeling relieved that domestic audiences were still willing to spend money to watch special effects blockbusters, and they would have more confidence in the future of "The Wandering Earth".

"Oh~" Liu Yifei still wanted to hear it, and everyone praised Senior Brother.

……

The next day, Peking Hotel
"Brother, can I wear this dress?" Liu Yifei put on a dress and turned around in front of her, with a hint of excitement on her little face.

I participated in "Youth in Youth" by myself, and finally produced it.

Today, I will go to the cinema to watch the finished film with my senior brother.

Senior brother now shoots movies that cost over [-] million US dollars, and he is willing to shoot a small and medium-budget movie for himself, which shows the importance he attaches to himself.

Of course, Liu Yifei also attaches great importance to movies.

She has always received the best resources and starred in many big productions, but in major film festivals, she has never won a big award, only one Best Supporting Actress.

Now I have to prove my acting skills with "Youth in Youth", I don't want to be said to be a vase anymore, I want to become a real "courier girl".

"Yes, it's very beautiful." Lu Chen asked curiously, "Yifei, who did you learn those things from last night? Did you learn them from small island movies?"

Lu Chen was really pleasantly surprised last night.

Yifei can still do this?
This contrast.

Make the experience full directly.

I still have more ideas, and I will experience it again in the morning.

When Liu Yifei heard the words, her little face flushed instantly, and she was very shy.

"I don't want to say, it's okay." Everyone has privacy, but Yifei really doesn't have any privacy for herself.

"Brother, I..." Liu Yifei finally said it, and ran away shyly after speaking, "Brother, I'll wait for you outside."

"It's Aunt Liu." Lu Chen was surprised. It turned out that Yifei's master was Aunt Liu. Sure enough, a famous teacher produced a high-level apprentice, but the apprentice was definitely not as good as the master. Unfortunately, there was no chance to fight against each other.

……

Peking, Jupiter Cinema
"Director Lu!" The main creators of "Youth in Youth" were already waiting, and when they saw Director Lu approaching, they all greeted him respectfully.

The other three of the Four Little Flowers are also there, and they all played roles in "Youth in Youth", especially Yang Mi, who can be regarded as the second female in the movie.

There is also Yu Feihong who played the role of Liu Yifei's mother in "Youth in Youth".

Ning Hao and Yang Lei were also there, they were called here on purpose, they were both excited inside, knowing that Director Lu would not call here for no reason, they must have something important to talk about, maybe about the new movie.

"Let's go in." Lu Chen walked in the front.

Watch "Youth in Youth" in the morning.

In this way, there are fewer people. After noon, especially at night, the movie theater is full of people, all of whom are watching "Transformers".

"Director Lu, has "No Man's Land" been reviewed?" Ning Hao hurried to the side and asked about the movie.

"No Man's Land" has already been produced.

But it was stuck at the review level.

Now Yang Lei and Wu Ershan already have masterpieces with a single record breaking [-] million.

Ning Hao, who is also known as the three small giants of Mars Film and Television, must be anxious, thinking that "No Man's Land" will be released as soon as possible, breaking [-] million.

Moreover, Ning Hao has greater expectations for "No Man's Land", to win awards and awards from major film festivals, so as to prove his strength.

"It's still under censorship, but don't worry, the movie will definitely be released." Lu Chen asked Ning Hao to keep his heart in his stomach. Now that he is not just debuting, now he has the strongest relationship in China, as long as the movie does not have reactionary things , will definitely be released.

"Thank you, Director Lu." Ning Hao also knew how dark the movie "No Man's Land" was. If it wasn't for Director Lu, let alone the movie's release, the movie probably wouldn't have been made, it all depended on Director Lu's full support.

"Director Lu, congratulations. Yesterday's "Transformers" single-day box office broke 6000 million, the highest in four days." Yang Lei was excited as he spoke.

The reputation of "Transformers" exploded.

The special effects are astounding.

Including the world's advanced weapons shown in the movie, it is enough for the eyes.

So the box office on the fourth day was even higher than the single-day box office of the previous three days, and many people were recommended by friends to watch it.

Now it has broken [-] million in four days. According to such a rise, it is a certainty that the film will break [-] million.

"Director Lu, congratulations..." The others also congratulated. They have seen "Transformers", and the special effects are so shocking. Who would have thought that this is a blockbuster film with special effects shot by a Chinese director.

"Okay, let's go in and watch a movie." Lu Chen asked everyone to stop flattering.

A group of people came to the cinema.

"Xiaomi, Shishi, Xiaoying, you all sit down here." Lu Chen sat in the best seat in the middle to watch the movie.

"Yeah!" Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, and Zhao Liying came over with happy faces.

At this point the movie starts playing.

Producer: Lu Chen
Starring: Liu Yifei, Zhang Ruoyun, Yang Mi, Yu Feihong
Chief screenwriter, chief director, director system: Lu Chen
Everyone stopped talking, despite the small investment in "Youth in Youth", the outside world didn't know that Director Lu made such a movie, after all, all the attention was on "Transformers".

But we all know that Director Lu attaches great importance to "Youth in Youth", this is an opportunity for Liu Yifei to prove his acting skills.

On the set before, everyone was surprised by Liu Yifei's acting skills.

Now that the film is produced, the shock is stronger, and Liu Yifei's superb acting skills can be felt even more.

"Xiao Mi, when you watch Yifei's crying scenes, there are also changes in expression." Lu Chen taught Yang Mi and others, "Crying scenes are the most difficult emotions to express in movies. Since the birth of movies, how many classic crying scenes have been produced? I won’t tell you one by one.”

"What you need to know is that your performance in front of the camera will be played on a large screen of several hundred inches, especially the close-up of the face during the crying scene. The pores of the face can be seen, and any micro-expression will be infinitely suppressed. enlarge……"

Scenes shot on set.

Only play back on a screen of tens of inches.

Don't look at it and think you can pass it, just pass it.

If you want to get it, zoom in the picture more than ten times, the expression is still perfect, and the performance is natural.

On the big screen, the last thing you can have is performance traces.

This is also the reason why TV drama actors break into movies, even if they are big TV drama stars, they will fail.

I have filmed too many TV dramas, and the traces of acting are quite heavy. This is a habit that is difficult to change.

He obviously has good acting skills in TV dramas, but his performance in movies is not satisfactory, because the screen of TV dramas cannot compare with the big screen of hundreds of inches.

Any flaws will be magnified, and of course the advantages will also be magnified.

Therefore, movies are extremely considering the skills of actors, and it is also the easiest to make actors popular.

A movie can make a rookie actor popular across the country and become a first-line movie star in one fell swoop, which is something that TV dramas cannot do.

Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, and Zhao Liying listened carefully, nodding their heads from time to time, listening to Director Lu.

The actor next to him also pricked up his ears to listen.

This is Director Lu's acting skills, which is definitely the dream of all Chinese actors.

"Clap!"

After the movie was played, everyone applauded and congratulated Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei's performance in "Youth in Youth" is quite good, and she has a great chance to win the best actress in major film festivals.

"Yifei, what's the matter, why are you not happy when everyone praises you?" Lu Chen noticed the slight change in Liu Yifei's expression.

"No." Liu Yifei shook her head and forced a smile. Although she was praised by everyone, she still couldn't smile. The main reason was that she was going to be separated from her senior brother today, and her senior brother was going to leave with Yang Mi and Teacher Yu Feihong. Go to America.

"Yifei, I really envy you." Yang Mi's eyes were full of envy, "When "You Are a Young Man" is released, your acting skills will definitely be recognized by everyone and you will win the Best Actress."

Yang Mi also thought, Director Lu gave herself such a chance.

Thoughts certainly can't be said.

Director Lu belongs.

What is given to you is yours. If you don’t give it, you can’t take it.

Unless it's another matter, you can sit up and ask for it.

"Thank you!" Liu Yifei thanked everyone for their congratulations.

"Yifei, I will release the movie next month. When the time comes, audiences across the country will judge your acting skills. You must be mentally prepared." Lu Chen arranged for the movie to be released as soon as possible.

There is also a plan.

Need "Youth in Youth" to take the lead.

With his strong influence, expand the market of youth love movies, so that he can be the first to eat crabs and earn more.

Now Lu Chen needs money.

Not just filming "The Wandering Earth".

It is also necessary to make preparations for Jupiter Cinemas to exchange funds that can support 3D playback equipment.

This is the only chance for Jupiter Cinemas to overtake Huaguo Film Group's subordinate cinemas, so you have to be fully prepared.

This also led to Lu Chen's busiest year this year, with non-stop work on his hands, and he was already spinning around.

"Well, senior brother." Liu Yifei nodded emphatically. Now everyone says that he performed well in "Young You", but it was not enough. We have to wait for the movie to be released and accept the review of the people across the country. Only when everyone agrees, is it really good. .

"Ning Hao, Yang Lei, you two come with me." Lu Chen shouted, wanting to talk to them about the new movie.
