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

Chapter 228 Opening the first movie

"Director Lu, go this way." Liu Wei led the way. As the host of the premiere of the movie "You at the Same Table", he must first serve the big boss, Director Lu.

And now the major hosting work of Mars Film and Television is handed over to Liu Wei.

Lu Chen came in from the outside, he was not in a hurry to accept the reporter's interview, but met with the film practitioners who came to congratulate him.

"Director Lu, congratulations." Han Shanping of the Film Group also smiled at this time. The mainland film market is developing rapidly and has received great awards from above. , it’s something to celebrate.”

"Director Lu, this time the premiere of "You at the Same Table" is going to be a celebration banquet for "Youth in Youth". Director Lu is a busy person, so we will organize two happy events together." here.

Including director Feng Xiaogang, the face of Huaying Brothers.

There is also the Beijing Film Department headed by Dean Zhang Huijun.

Today is a gathering, there are prominent figures in the mainland film industry.

The famous people in the Northwest and Beijing circles also came to congratulate.

"Youth in Youth" achieved 4.1 million scores, and the impact is really great.

Not only does it spark public discussion on campus bullying.

There is also the impact on the mainland film market.

Among the top five box office movies in the mainland, the other four "Changjin Lake", "Transformers", "Let the Bullets Fly", and "Inception", none of which invested less than [-] million yuan.

"Let the Bullets Fly" invested more than 1 million yuan, and "Changjin Lake" nearly [-] million yuan.

"Transformers" and "Inception" even cost more than 1 million US dollars, which is nearly a billion dollars in conversion.

With an investment of more than [-] million yuan, there are no more than ten film companies in Huaguo that can afford it, and the companies that can independently produce it can be counted on one hand.

Unlike "Youth in Youth", which invested nearly 2000 million yuan, director Lu Chen also took away 300 million yuan in remuneration. Of course, this price cannot be regarded as a friendship price, it can only be regarded as a sense of humor.

After all, Lu Chen's global directing remuneration now has to add a zero after 300 million, and the subsequent unit of measurement has to be changed to US dollars to barely reach it.

"Thank you, everyone. I took time out of my busy schedule to attend the premiere of "You at the Same Table." Lu Chen thanked everyone for coming. The more people there are, the better the publicity effect will be.

"Director Lu, you are all here in person. Our Huaying Brothers will definitely be there to congratulate." The Second King Brothers came to congratulate, and there was another reason, to promote the movie written by Director Lu Chen himself.

some time ago.

Director Lu has handed over the crew to Huaying Brothers.

At that time, the two Wang brothers and Feng Xiaogang had seen each other.

Director Lu also chose a script adapted from "The Lawsuit", which is more in line with the name of the movie, assembly number!

For the script.

Both the Erwang Brothers and Feng Xiaogang gave Yu a very high evaluation, thinking that he is worthy of being the screenwriter of "Inception" and "Let the Bullets Fly", this work is really awesome.

The two brothers thought about it, and luckily they found Lu Chen to write the script of the movie, otherwise the movie script might not have passed the review, and Director Lu wrote it so bluntly, making the 'lawsuit' novel a good use of the movie script The method is shown.

"Director Lu, "You are a young man" is of great significance to the mainland film market, and it will definitely open a precedent for the prosperity of small and medium-budget films." Han Shanping spoke highly of "You are a young man".

The movie story is so good.

"Youth in Youth" also made a group of people in the mainland who have been criticizing the movie begin to turn to support the movie.

Because "Youth in Youth" has greatly stopped campus bullying incidents.

The number of coal workers in "Blind Well" and the low-level people in big cities in "A Family of Thieves" must not be particularly large.

But the student group in "Youth in Youth".

It covers a wide range of areas.

All the people in China have students at home.

Therefore, "Youth in Youth" has also triggered discussions among the whole society.

Let the mainland audience see another meaning of the film. The film can let more people understand the problems existing in society, so as to improve it.

However, Han Shanping saw another influence of "Youth in Youth".

The era of curbing the Chinese film market and fighting for the amount of investment.

A movie does not have to be a big investment to mean it is good, and the movie itself is the most important thing.

Since the beginning of the new century, film investment has risen rapidly. Since "Hero", film investment has entered an era of over [-] million.

Zhang Yingmou's "House of Flying Daggers" invested more than 3 million yuan, "Curse of the Golden Flower" he is currently directing invested more than 3 million yuan, Chen Kaige's "The Promise" invested 1 million yuan, and Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" invested more than [-] million yuan.

It seems that the well-known fifth-generation directors don't make movies with an investment of less than [-] million yuan, and only make big productions.

As for the results of the film.

Except for "The Golden Flower" which is still being filmed, several other films have already been released, and the box office does not understand it, which is a failure.

In this era of large-scale investment in movies, if the quality of the movie is good, it is definitely a good thing, but if the quality of the movie is poor, it will have a huge negative impact on the mainland movies, and it will severely dampen the confidence of investors, and they will never dare to invest in movies again.

Fortunately, there is director Lu Chen, who shoots big investment movies, all of which have high box office and amazing profits.

If there is no director Lu, Han Shanping dare not imagine what the mainland film industry would be like when the fifth generation of directors failed in all their investments.

And now director Lu returns to small and medium-budget films, "You are a young man" with an investment of less than 2000 million yuan, which grossed 4.1 million yuan at the box office in the mainland.

Let the mainland film industry see small and medium-budget films and achieve good results, as long as the film quality is excellent.

Fortunately, director Lu made a film called "Youth in Youth", otherwise he would have been filming blockbuster movies with an investment of over [-] million dollars. Han Shanping is really afraid that the fifth generation of well-known directors will have to follow suit.

Therefore, Han Shanping feels that the success of "Youth in Youth" will have a huge impact on the film industry, and let everyone focus on small and medium-budget films, instead of big directors in the mainland who want to make blockbusters, and do not shoot without an investment of more than [-] million.

"Mr. Han, the success of "Youth in Youth" is due to the support of the audience." Lu Chen praised Liu Yifei beside him, "Of course Yifei's performance in the movie is also of paramount importance."

Director Lu Chen spoke.

The film industry leaders present all began to praise Liu Yifei.

One is to save face for Director Lu Chen.

The second is Liu Yifei's performance in "Youth in Youth", which is really amazing.

Especially in the second half of the movie, the performance directly hit people's hearts and gave people a great shock. With its strong acting skills, it aroused the emotions of the audience.

"Director Lu, "Youth in Youth" was born out of nowhere. I'm afraid that "Youth in Youth" will win all the major awards at the Chinese Film Festival in the past two years." Han Shanping had already begun to respect in advance.

"Youth in Youth" is too good, and the results are too dazzling, it will definitely sweep all major film festivals.

"I agree with Mr. Han's words." Wang Zhonglei took the words, "Director Lu, Liu Yifei will also win the best actress in the three major Chinese film festivals because of "You Are a Young Man."

Liu Yifei thanked Wang Zhonglei, as well as everyone's compliments. In her heart, she must win the Best Actress award at the three major Chinese film festivals.

To win the award and embellish senior brother, the four little Huadans have never won the best actress in a well-known film festival, so I must break this zero.

"Director Lu, it's almost time." Liu Wei came over to remind him at this moment, looking at Lu Chen with admiration.

Director Lu is too powerful.

Once again involving small and medium-budget art films, the results exploded again.

Youyu's performance has doubled that of "The Thieves", once again creating the myth of small and medium-budget movies.

Liu Wei thought that it would be great if he could accompany Director Lu tonight, but he also knew it was impossible, Liu Yifei held Director Lu's hand so tightly, how could someone else have it.

Even if it's not Liu Yifei, there is still Zhao Liying.

"Mr. Han, Dean Zhang, senior brothers and sisters, I'll be on stage first." After greeting Lu Chen and the mainland film industry bigwigs, he followed Liu Wei and walked out to the lobby.

Yang Lei and the main creators of "You at the Same Table" were already waiting, and when they saw Director Lu coming over, they greeted each other.

Lu Chen smiled and signaled one by one, "There are a little more media reporters here today, don't be nervous, and today you are the protagonists."

Zhao Liying nodded, remembering what Director Lu said, and although she was the heroine of "You at the Same Table", she didn't appear on the stage holding Director Lu's hand by herself, and Yifei was favored a little more.

Of course, Yifei also performed well. Her performance in "Youth in Youth" shocked domestic audiences, and her acting skills reached the level of the little actress.

Zhao Liying thought that she also had to work hard, which was not much different from the care Yifei received in acting. At the time of filming "Let the Bullets Fly", Gong Li and Zhang Manyu both taught the four Xiaohuadan members.

Only when there is a wonderful performance in the movie, will he get more love from Director Lu, so Zhao Liying secretly vowed to work harder in the future.

"Director Lu!" Yang Xiaozi greeted excitedly.

This is the second film in my film and television career.

The first one is "Girl's Diary", but "Girl's Diary" is far from being able to compare with "You at the Same Table" that I starred in.

The movie "You at the Same Table" is directed by the well-known mainland director Yang Lei, and the producer is even the famous director Lu Chen. Although she only plays the heroine in her teenage years in the movie, she still has a part in the movie, not a secondary role.

It is also because of starring in "You at the Same Table", now I can show my face in the mainland film industry.

Yang Xiaozi beautifully thought that Liu Yifei and the others were the four little female roles in 85, and she would be the fourth female female role born in the 90s in the future.

"Director Lu..." Tong Liya also greeted her, and wanted to say a few more words, but Director Lu just smiled, glanced at her, and then looked forward.

It wasn't taken seriously at all.

This made Tong Liya feel lost.

At the premiere of "You at the Same Table" tonight, Tong Liya envisioned a lot of scenes where she would meet Director Lu again. Unexpectedly, it was like this. Director Lu didn't stay on her body for a second longer, just like everyone else.

"Sister Liya, it's time to go on stage." Zhao Liying noticed that Tong Liya was in a daze, and hurriedly reminded her.

"Oh~" Tong Liya reacted and gave Zhao Liying a thankful look.

And in a daze.

It's just that there is too much gap in my heart.

Since Tong Liya was trained by Lu Chen last time about the way of performing crying scenes.

The man Lu Chen has taken root in Tong Liya's heart.

From time to time, I would think of everything that happened in the crew's dressing room and Director Lu.

Sometimes at night, I still have dreams that happened that day.

In the dream, unlike in reality, the last step must not be done, but in the dream, the last step can be done, and the whole process of the last step is so clear in the dream.

It's like being in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with Director Lu, and I did everything that should happen in the dream. The details in the dream are so real, and I will be sweating profusely when I wake up.

It is as if the actions in the dream are real.

And this kind of dream, not only once, but sometimes two nights in a row, the dream is still the same, but there are differences in details, such as differences in movements.

Tong Liya found that her heart was completely affected by what happened in the dressing room that day.

Although Director Lu Chen didn't do anything that day, but for Tong Liya, he did everything.

If Lu Chen knew Tong Liya's thoughts, he would definitely die unjustly. If he didn't do it, he didn't do it.

As the host of the scene, Liu Wei carefully guided everyone to take their seats one by one.

Lu Chen and Liu Yifei sat in the middle.

Yang Lei, Zhao Liying, Yang Xiaozi, and Tong Liya sat beside them.

The reporters in the audience frantically pressed the shutter, most of the shots were Lu Chen and Liu Yifei.

According to the director's intention, Liu Wei asked the reporter from Huaguo Film News to ask questions first.

The film newspaper reporter, first calm down the excitement in his heart.

As a fan of Director Lu Chen, seeing Director Lu's work once again caused a huge response, I am sincerely proud, "Director Lu, first of all, on behalf of the film newspaper, I congratulate "Transformers" for entering the top ten box office of global movies."

Director Lu Chen is not only good in China.

In fact, it is even better abroad, and its achievements are even more dazzling.

At the age of less than 30 years old, he conquered the world's audience. Among the top ten box office movies in the world, Director Lu occupies two seats.

"Thank you." Lu Chen thanked.

"Director Lu!" The reporter from the film newspaper began to ask, ""Youth in Youth" caused such a big response. With a cost of less than 2000 million yuan, it scored 4.1 million box office in the Mainland. The film critics praised it unanimously, when you were filming, did you ever think that there would be such a sensation?"

"I'm just a director." Lu Chen's special official answer, "I only think about things related to filming, other things, I don't actually think about it. "Youth in Youth" can achieve such a huge success, I have to thank all the audience support."

"Director Lu!" The reporter from the entertainment newspaper began to ask, "Liu Yifei has been working on her acting skills for about a year since "Inception" and then "Youth in Youth". , that’s why there is an amazing audience performance in "Youth in Youth."

"Let me answer this question." Lu Chen asked Liu Yifei to speak.

Liu Yifei is now facing so many well-known media, and she is not nervous at all, and has the aura of a movie queen, "Since "Inception", I have been at the Peking Film Academy to complete my studies. The teacher learns about acting."

Dean Zhang Huijun was also present today.

I must praise Beiying, this is my alma mater and my brother's alma mater.

After that, it is to praise the senior brother.

For the training of my acting skills, I spent a lot of precious time training myself, and I also thank all the actresses who taught me.

The reporters in the audience, after listening to Liu Yifei's answer, realized that Liu Yifei's shocking performance in "Youth in Youth" must not be an instant improvement.

It's a matter of course, with a lot of accumulation.

Work hard in silence where the spotlight can't shine.

The audience just saw Liu Yifei's "Youth in Youth" after "Inception".

I don't know how much effort Liu Yifei put in during the middle year, and what kind of efforts he made for the role of "Youth in Youth".

Liu Yifei's answer was also warmly applauded by the media reporters in the audience. In any industry, unless you are a talented one out of hundreds of millions, if you don't work hard, it is impossible to succeed.

"Director Lu." A reporter from the Metropolitan Daily began to ask questions, "Many people in the film industry are praising "Youth in Youth", saying that "Youth in Youth" has a great impact on the film industry. As long as the quality of the film is good, there is no need to invest heavily. It can also achieve amazing box office results."

Especially the boss of the film company, he can't wait to let the directors of the company take a look at "Young You", and wants to tell these directors that they can still achieve impressive results without a big investment.

Including triggering huge social repercussions, it has an extremely sensational effect.

This is the result of "Youth in Youth", which was less than 2000 million.

"Some movies don't need a big investment. Even if a big investment is made, there is no use for it. "Youth in Youth" is this type of movie. The movie focuses on the story and is a drama movie." Lu Chen changed his tone when he said this , "But some films must require large investment, such as industrial films. Without strong financial support, the film cannot be made at all."

I was also afraid that "Youth in Youth" would lead to a trend of low-cost movies, which would cause some movies that really required a large investment to be reduced in cost.

A small investment in a film is a small investment, and a big investment is a big investment, and they cannot be confused. If you want to use a small investment to make a picture that can only be shot with a big investment, unless everyone is working for free.

There are small investment methods for small investments, and large investment methods for large investments. The difference is huge.

If Chinese-language films want to become mainstream films in the world, large investment in industrial films is the way to go.

Lu Chen's words were also unanimously approved by the directors present. "Youth in Youth" is a success, but it cannot belittle a movie with a large investment.

Everyone took "The Promise" and "The Banquet" as examples.

But I have forgotten that "Let the Bullets Fly", directed by Lu Chen with an investment of more than 5 million yuan, earned more than [-] million yuan at the box office in the mainland, breaking the six-year record held by "Titanic" in the mainland, and making Chinese movies top the mainland Movie Champions.

"Changjin Lake", with an investment of [-] million yuan, was the first film in the mainland to exceed [-] billion yuan, which brought the mainland film market to the world's attention, and proved how fast the Chinese economy was developing.

There are also "Inception" and "Transformers" directed by Lu Chen, both of which have an investment of more than [-] million US dollars. The two films are now among the top ten in the history of the global box office.

Only big investments can lead to great success and cause a global sensation.

"Director Lu, it seems that you have been contributing to the development of mainland films." The reporter from the film newspaper listened to Director Lu Chen's talk about film investment, and saw Director Lu's love for the mainland film industry.

I am also very disappointed with the fifth-generation directors. If the fifth-generation directors were better, Director Lu would not have to work so hard, and he would carry Chinese-language movies forward in the world alone.

"Director Lu, "Youth in Youth"..." Another reporter asked another question.

"That's all for today's question about "Youth in Youth" and "Transformers." Lu Chen couldn't let the reporter ask this question any longer.

I just answered these questions because I didn’t want to disappoint the reporters. Now I have to go back to today’s topic, “Today is the premiere of "You at the Same Table" directed by director Yang Lei. You should ask the main creator of "You at the Same Table" personnel related issues."

Zhao Liying felt a little nervous. This is her role as the heroine in a movie again. I don't know what kind of results will be achieved in the screening, and whether her acting skills will be praised.

Yang Xiaozi and Tong Liya were even more nervous. This was the first time for them to face such a big battle.
