Chapter 234 Chinese animation movie savior!
Lu Chen got out of the car, Liu Yifei and Yang Mi were on the left and right, wearing white and blue skirts respectively, their faces were full of confidence, and they already had the temperament of a big star.

The people at the Peking Hotel saw Lu Chen's motorcade approaching.

They all surrounded each other.

It also includes journalists.

Because it was the movie celebration banquet of "You at the Same Table" and "Later Us", most of the hotel staff were from the Mars department, and there were also filmmakers present to congratulate.

It must not be a press conference, so there is no separate interview with reporters.

The media reporters who were present came for Director Lu Chen.

Now "Transformers" directed by Lu Chen has broken the US$10 billion mark at the global box office, creating a miracle again, and the trailer of "Kung Fu Panda" is very popular.

Since the decline of the magic city art film studio.

Mainland animated films have also fallen, and they are almost dead by now.

Now there are only cartoons left, cartoons only for kids, animated movies no longer exist.

But the "Kung Fu Panda" trailer turned out.

Instantly revive Chinese animation movies.

"Kung Fu Panda" released a total of three trailers.

From these three trailers, it can be seen that the composition, light, color and tone of "Kung Fu Panda" are definitely the best in the world.

The most important thing is that this world-class animation film belongs to Huaguo.

Unlike Director Lu's previous global films "Inception" and "Transformers".

"Kung Fu Panda" belongs to Hua Guo completely.

All the scenes in it are very Chinese.

Moreover, the wonderful trailer clips released are really not like the Chinese-language animated films of this period. The degree of shock brought by them seems to come from the future.

Who would have thought that Chinese-language animated films are so strong that they can be compared with Pixar Animation Studios and Disney Animation.

Although DreamWorks Animation participated in the production of "Kung Fu Panda", Mars Films (animation) also participated in the production.

There's also a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the animated film from Saturn Video.

You can see how Director Lu Chen drew the characters in the animation one by one. In the sideshow, Director Lu Chen is the creator of "Kung Fu Panda".

DreamWorks, including Mars Film and Television (animation), is completely in accordance with Director Lu Chen's intention.

Moreover, all the character images of "Kung Fu Panda" were created by director Lu Chen.

This is an animated movie that belongs to Director Lu and belongs to Chinese.

"Thank you for coming." Lu Chen stopped and waved his hands to greet everyone, "Today is our company's internal celebration banquet, so I won't invite you to sit outside, after all, the outside is more spacious, so I'll just tell you Let's chat."

These words also made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere became more active.

And let the audience feel that Lu Chen is no longer the No.1 young director in the world, but a friend, and it feels like chatting with a friend.

Zhao Liying, Liu Shishi, and Tong Liya in the hotel watched as Director Lu didn't come up at the hotel entrance, where they chatted with the audience, and looked at each other with eager eyes, which is the most appropriate description.

"Director Lu, I've seen your "Kung Fu Panda" trailer. It's really exciting, and it's full of elements from our country." Today came, many animation film practitioners.

It can be said.

Before "Kung Fu Panda" came out.

Animated movies are in a situation where dogs don’t even watch them. Only those who know about animated movies are shown in theaters. No one pays attention to them at all, and no company invests in shooting them.

The birth of "Kung Fu Panda" instantly raised the attention of animated films in the mainland.

Because this is directed by Director Lu, the most powerful Chinese director, and the quality of the trailer is high. It is completely the world's top movie, and it is full of Chinese elements.

This made domestic audiences particularly like and excited, because it has always been said that Huaguo animation films are dead, and now Director Lu is relying on his own strength to let the world see what Huaguo animation films are.

Who would dare to say that Chinese animated films are dead in the future.

"Of course our animated film must be full of Huaguo elements." Lu Chen told the audience and reporters, "I will use movies to let the world know more about our Huaguo."

Liu Yifei and Yang Mi were beside Lu Chen, looking at Lu Chen with admiration and love.

I also pay attention to the situation of "Kung Fu Panda" in China.

It can be said that once the trailer of "Kung Fu Panda" came out, the feature film did not come out, and the popularity has overwhelmed all the movies currently to be released in the mainland, including director Zhang Yingmou's "Golden Armor in the City" which will be released in December.

All the movies added up are not as popular as "Kung Fu Panda".

Mainly, this is Director Lu's film, and it is also an animated film.

Since the mainland entered the new century, there has not yet been a decent animated film. "Lotus Lantern" is already the swan song of Chinese animated films.

And Lu Chen once again made Chinese animation films rise, and this time, not only did they attract domestic attention, but they were also full of enthusiasm abroad. lost face.

Liu Yifei and Yang Mi also admired Director Lu even more. Director Lu really can handle any type of movie. Before that, "You are a young man" opened the precedent for youth movies in the Mainland.

Now "Kung Fu Panda" will also bring Chinese-language animation films to life, once again standing on the stage, and it is a world-class stage.

"Director Lu, you not only make movies, but also enhance the status of our Huaguo movies in the world, and let more people know about Huaguo." The animation filmmakers present now regard Director Lu as their ultimate idol.

Director Lu's action can be said to have saved the animation film industry, which was already on the verge of death.

Let animated movies get more attention.

Only this time, many film companies couldn't learn.

Although the core of "Youth in Youth" is not easy to learn, the outer skin, the youthful love story, is still easy to learn.

However, animated films like "Kung Fu Panda" are hard to learn. If you want to shoot, you must have a wild imagination and technical support.

Animated films do not have as many audiences as live-action films, but if you want to make them well, the difficulty is no worse than that of live-action films.

"My strength alone is limited. Only by working together can we truly enhance the influence of Huaguo films in the world." Lu Chen also knew that many animation filmmakers came today and planned to encourage them.

"Director Lu, we will definitely learn from you and make a contribution to Chinese-language films." The animation film practitioners present all clenched their fists, believing that "Kung Fu Panda" will revitalize the mainland animation film market.

Everyone admired Director Lu even more.

Unlike other directors, Director Lu not only made films, but also made great contributions to the development of Chinese films.

"You are a young man" is a popular youth love movie, giving young actors more opportunities to star.

The release of the "Kung Fu Panda" trailer will also save the animation film, so that relevant practitioners can see the hope of having a meal, instead of being forced to quit the industry, then the animation film will really die.

"Let me introduce a friend to you." Lu Chen beckoned to Hu Yunnian who was behind him, "This one is the manager of Mars Film and Television (animation), and he was the technical backbone of Modu Art Film Studio before, by the way , Manager Hu, how many years have you worked in the Modu Art Film Studio?"

In front of everyone, it is completely a way of chatting.

This made everyone feel that Director Lu is very kind today, of course he was kind before, but today he is especially kind.

"Director Lu, I have worked for 25 years, 21 months and [-] days." Hu Yunnian clearly remembered this day, and the best time of his life was given to Modu Art Film Studio.

Experienced the glory of the mainland animation film, and then to the decline.

I thought that the animated films of the island country would be the face of Asian animation, and since then, the animated films of the Chinese country will never have a bright future.

At this moment, Director Lu stood up.

Established Mars Film and Television (animation) and filmed "Kung Fu Panda".

Hu Yunnian is really grateful to Director Lu. It is Director Lu who saved the animation film industry and the practitioners in the animation film industry, allowing animation films to get more attention in China.

This credit can be enshrined in the hearts of animation practitioners today.

"Manager Hu, I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly." Lu Chen and Hu Yunnian continued to chat in front of the media reporters and the audience, "Actually, I also grew up watching the animated films produced by Magic Art Films, just the 99 animations. I like the movie "Lotus Lantern" very much."

"Although I was already a student in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy at that time, I watched "Lotus Lantern" at that time, and the idea of ​​making an animated film also sprouted at that time. It was not until now that I have the ability and funds to shoot "Kung Fu Panda" ", I hope everyone will like it."

"Director Lu, we definitely like it. This is your movie, and everyone supports it unconditionally."

"Just looking at the trailer of "Kung Fu Panda", you know that this is an absolutely beautiful animated movie."

"Besides, "Kung Fu Panda" is a movie with a very elegant demeanor of Huaguo, which contains ancient poems of Huaguo that I especially like." The audience all around said that they knew it from the trailer of "Kungfu Panda". How good the movie is.

The released trailer also includes lines from ancient Chinese poetry.

Inside, there is a line from the tortoise master, "If you want to avoid it, you will meet it instead."

It is from "The Analects of Confucius: Ji Shi".

Of course, everyone can also hear that the voice of Master Wugui is Teacher Ge You.

Teacher Ge You has many classic quotes in previous movies, and now there is another famous quote, which is a sentence from "The Analects of Confucius: Ji Shi".

Ziyu wants to avoid it, but it means that when you really want to avoid it, you will inadvertently promote the occurrence of things.

This made the audience curious, what happened in the movie, with this line.

Now everyone is looking forward to the release of "Kung Fu Panda", and I really hope that it will be released immediately, so that we can witness this top Chinese animation film.

"Director Lu, I have to thank you, thank you for saving the mainland animation film industry." Hu Yunnian bowed deeply to Lu Chen in public.

"Kung Fu Panda", although the audience is discussing how well the trailer is made

What Hu Yunnian saw was the huge impact on mainland animation films.

"I hope that in the future, Huaguo will also have Pixar Animation Studios and Disney Animation Studios." Lu Chen looked at the excited crowd.

These people are obviously practitioners related to animation films, "And this matter requires everyone who loves animation films to work hard, just like Manager Hu by my side, joined Mars Film and Television (animation), and witnessed the rise of Chinese animation films with me the road."

Mars Film and Television (animation) wants to become a world-class animation studio.

More talents are needed to absorb all the top talents in the animation film industry in Huaguo.

Lu Chen is not short of money, what he lacks is talents, talents who are popular in animation movies.

The animation filmmakers present were very excited when they heard Director Lu Chen's words, and they all wanted to join Mars Films (animation) and participate in the production of animation films as exciting as "Kung Fu Panda".

"Director Lu." At this moment, the female assistant came over and whispered next to Lu Chen, "Now the crowd is excited and the security pressure is heavy, we have to go in."

You can't stay at the hotel entrance for too long, because you are afraid of accidents.

"Thank you everyone, I came here on purpose for saving face today." Lu Chen thanked everyone for their support, and led his entourage into the hotel.

"Director Lu!" Zhao Liying, Liu Shishi and others were already waiting at the stairs.

Lu Chen took the escalator to the second floor.

"Director Lu!" The members of the Mars Department in the banquet hall on the second floor stopped talking one by one, and respectfully addressed each other. The power over the life and death of the artists of the Mars Department is in the hands of the big boss, Director Lu.

"Director Lu!" There were some members who were not members of the Martian system who were here today, and they all came to congratulate.

Lu Chen gestured with a smile.

Liu Yifei and Yang Mi stayed by Lu Chen's side all the time and became female companions. The white and blue skirts set off Lu Chen even more vigorously.

"Director Lu, Director Feng is currently filming "Assembly Number", so I didn't come over." Wang Zhonglei helped explain, "Actors such as Wang Baoqiang and Deng Chao couldn't come because they were filming, so please invite Director Lu Haihan."

Wang Zhonglei is clear that Director Lu is now the most powerful person in Chinese-language films, the godfather of the new generation of Chinese-language films.

Well-known mainland directors and members of the [-] Million Film Club, Ning Hao, Wu Ershan, and Yang Lei were all in front of Director Lu, but they were as well-behaved as a child.

These three directors are already well-known directors in front of others.

There are also popular artists from Mars Film and Television, all behave well in front of Director Lu.

"Mr. Wang, you're joking, what am I doing wrong? Today is not my movie celebration." Lu Chen waved his hand and asked Ning Hao and Yang Lei to come over, "These two are the protagonists."

Wang Zhonglei wanted to say that today most of them came for Director Lu's reputation.

Also Director Lu is too low-key now, "Transformers" broke 10 billion US dollars, and they didn't hold a celebration banquet. Instead, they held a celebration banquet for Yang Lei and Ning Hao's movies.

Although the results of these two people are particularly explosive, compared with Director Lu, they still can't catch up.

However, as long as Director Lu came, it would be a personal celebration banquet for Director Lu. 90.00% of the outside media reporters and audience came for Director Lu alone.

"Director Lu, congratulations." Han Shanping came over with a glass of red wine and smiled, ""Transformers" has now broken 10 billion dollars, and the trailer of "Kung Fu Panda" has become popular again. Both sides are blooming, and Director Lu You are tired of playing live-action movies, you want to play animated movies."

Does Han Shanping know how popular the "Kung Fu Panda" trailer is?

Not only domestically.

It has become popular all over the world.

Judging from the trailer, it is definitely the top-level production of animated films.

And the production cost, as announced before, is more than 1 million US dollars.

With so much money to make an animated film, it is still a Chinese-style animated film.

Han Shanping admired Lu Chen's courage.

We must know that Chinese-style movies have a global audience, but they are far less powerful than Hollywood movies.

Although "Inception" and "Transformers" were filmed by director Lu and had many Chinese-speaking actors, the film style is biased towards Europe and the United States.

Unlike "Kung Fu Panda", judging from the trailer, there is no European or American element at all, and it has a pure Chinese style.

Before such a movie is made, who can guarantee the global popularity.

If it is only in China, with an investment of more than 1 million US dollars, it is impossible to return the capital.

Han Shanping thought, he definitely doesn't have the guts like Director Lu, one hundred million is still a good knife, to make a movie with pure Chinese style.

It's quite a gamble.

Director Lu is also betting on his career as a director.

This is the first time that Director Lu has been involved in an animated film, and it is a pure Chinese national style, an animated film facing the world.

Judging from these things, the possibility of failure is really high.

But now that the "Kung Fu Panda" trailer has been released, judging from the global response, half of the success has been achieved, and the next step is to watch the film's performance in global releases.

"Mr. Han, it's not that no one is making animated movies, so I had to do it." Lu Chen said in a joking tone, and then said seriously: "Animated movies are also movies, and no one should be involved. We also had glory days, so we can't watch them." Animated movies just don’t go away.”

"Director Lu, I agree with you. The situation of Chinese-language animated films was really cruel before, but now that "Kung Fu Panda" comes out, it can be said that Chinese-language animated films have been saved." Han Shanping admired Director Lu very much.

The contributions he has made in the film industry have surpassed himself.

At any rate, I am the president of the film group, shouldering the heavy responsibility for the prosperity of Chinese-language films.

In the end, Director Lu was doing practical things and made himself very passive, because no matter how many things he did, he did not have as much influence on the film industry as Director Lu does now.

"Director Lu!" At this time, Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi gathered around, all of them were very happy, and finally saw Director Lu again.

"Are you in a hurry to get the red envelope?" Lu Chen was in a good mood and joked.

"Seeing you, Director Lu, is the best reward for us." Zhao Liying told Liu Shishi the truth, and the two missed the previous days very much.

At that time, I was with Director Lu and would not be separated at all. After filming, I could go to Director Lu's room at night to ask questions about acting.

But now there are fewer gatherings and more separations, especially this year, Director Lu seldom involves Chinese movies anymore, and the days of gatherings are even shorter.

"The best reward is always money." Lu Chen greeted the female assistant.

The female assistant hurried over, holding a bag in her hand, which contained a pile of bulging red envelopes.

"You at the Same Table" and "Later Us" had a short filming cycle, and the main creators worked very hard. Lu Chen wanted to reward the main creators of the two films in public.
