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

Chapter 236 The biggest gamble in the global film industry
"How to unleash your potential?" Lu Chen looked into Tong Liya's eyes.

The other party thought carefully and could already guess.

He has a lot of guts.

Liu Yifei and Yang Mi dared to come in and provide services even though they were outside.

"Like the... last time?" Tong Liya blushed even more as she spoke, looking very shy.

Lu Chen looked at this shy face and wanted to pinch it, "Aren't you resisting?"

"Ah?" Tong Liya was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and lowered her head, as if she wanted to taste it.

"If you don't resist, there will be no dramatic effect, so you won't be able to cry." Lu Chen said deliberately serious.

"This..." Tong Liya raised her head, looked at Lu Chen, and wondered whether she should resist or not. For a moment, she didn't know which kind Director Lu liked.

"Have you seen "Soldier Assault" directed by me?" Lu Chen asked.

"Ah?" Tong Liya didn't understand why Director Lu asked this question, but she answered honestly, "Director Lu, I've seen your works more than once."

It's not flattery either.

Director Lu's works are all excellent.

It is particularly good-looking, and the work is excellent in all aspects. Some movies, like "Let the Bullets Fly", have a different taste and can be enjoyed endlessly after watching it for the second time.

"There is a scene in "Soldier Assault"." Lu Chen looked at Tong Liya in front of him, "It was a fake operation to test Xu Sanduo and other reserve members of Team A. Some of them passed the assessment, while others failed."

"Those who didn't pass the test said that they would not back down if they tried again, but Yuan Lang, the captain of Team A, said that it only worked the first time. It was the same in the dressing room before. It only worked the first time."

"..." Tong Liya didn't know how to answer the words for a while.

This time, he took the initiative and mustered up the courage to come to Director Lu.

In fact, I want to turn every night's dream into reality.

I don't want to have a skin-to-skin relationship with Director Lu in my dreams, but I want to experience it in reality.

And Tong Liya felt that although she said it implicitly, her meaning was already clear.

But I don't understand, Director Lu is not willing to come again for a long time, I don't know what it means, and I can't understand Director Lu's mind at all.

"If you want to have the same effect as last time, the intensity has to be stronger than last time." Lu Chen stared into Tong Liya's eyes, "Can you stand it?"

There is no reason to reject delicious food that is delivered to your doorstep.

Seeing Director Lu, Tong Liya returned to the topic. She was instantly happy and nodded, "Director Lu, I can stand it."

Director Lu should have understood what he meant.

Unleashing your potential for crying scenes is just an excuse, the important thing is that it is the same as last time in the dressing room, of course the result is different, and it shouldn't be stopped halfway.

"Are you sure?" Lu Chen was not in a hurry to start.

"Hmm~" Tong Liya's eyes showed firmness, "As long as I can improve my acting skills, I can accept anything, no matter what, I can stand it."

Lu Chen poured a glass of wine first, drank it all, then stood up and looked at Tong Liyan up and down.

Seen by Tong Liya, she felt embarrassed, lowered her head, and felt a strong force in the next second, pulled her body over, exclaimed, and lay down on the sofa.

Facing Lu Chen's big hands and the physical violation, he shyly closed his eyes and thought of something, "Director Lu, shall I resist later? Or not?"

"..." Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, until he was stopped by the question, "It's up to you, but if there is a little resistance, there will be more plot, otherwise the plot will be dry and unattractive."

"Director Lu, I understand." Tong Liya, who was lying down, had an understanding expression, and there would be plots and stories in the future, and she would definitely not just lie down like this.

……

At this time, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, and Liu Shishi were waiting outside.

"Xiaoying, I heard that director Lu wants you to act in a film, and you are still the heroine, congratulations." Yang Mi chatted with Zhao Liying, quite envious, if only she could give herself the role.

It's been a few months and I haven't been with Director Lu. I don't know if I have a chance tonight.

"Thank you~" Zhao Liying is now waiting for the movie "Hua Guo Partners". This is an opportunity to be alone with Director Lu, so cherish it. If you miss it, I don't know when the next time will be.

"Tell me, Director Lu, what are you talking about with Tong Liya?" Liu Shishi looked at the time, "She has been in for almost an hour."

I also envy Zhao Liying in my heart.

Although I'm currently starring in Director Feng's "Assembly Number", I definitely hope to star in Director Lu's movie.

Now the four little Huadans are only themselves, and have never acted as the heroine in a movie directed by Director Lu himself.

"I don't know." The other three shook their heads, not knowing what was going on and how long they were going to talk about.

Just now, Director Lu only chatted with the Mercury special effects manager and Aunt Liu for about 10 minutes, and now he and Tong Liyan have been chatting for almost an hour.

"Xiaoying, you and Tong Liya starred in "You at the Same Table", and you have known each other for a while." Yang Mi asked, "Come and tell us, what kind of person is she?"

Tong Liya kissed Director Lu passionately at the celebration banquet today, which greatly attracted everyone's attention.

"It's hard for me to say." Zhao Liying heard that Yang Mi's tone was hostile towards Tong Liya, "Anyway, she is okay and easy to get along with. I don't know anything else."

"Is it Director Lu, who wants to watch the dance?" Liu Shishi suddenly thought of something and expressed his opinion, "Tong Liya came from a song and dance troupe."

I remember the first time I met Director Lu, I asked myself to dance.

After a few times, he jumped in front of Director Lu again.

But it has been more than a year since the last jump.

I was wondering if Director Lu was tired of watching and wanted to watch the newcomers dance.

"Teacher, you are also a dance major, so you can't lose to others." Yang Mi and the other three have a very good relationship.

The four of them had been together for a long time at the beginning, and they had been by Lu Dao's side all the time.

It's just that Mars Films and Television grew stronger later, and everyone became famous, and they all started to act alone, and rarely got together again, especially the works that the four little Huadans collaborated with, almost disappeared.

But the previous relationship is still there.

Everyone of the four wanted to become Director Lu's wife in the end.

But if Director Lu wants to be together with female artists outside, they must be consistent with the outside world. I hope that Director Lu will be able to choose among the four little female artists in the end.

"It's been more than a year, and I haven't danced for Director Lu." Liu Shishi's main job is acting now, and he doesn't care as much about dancing as before.

"Don't dance ballet, men don't like it." Yang Mi analyzed.

"Then what should I dance?" Liu Shishi only studied ballet, and he is not familiar with other dances.

"It doesn't matter what you dance, but you need to keep one piece of clothes short." Yang Mi said, reaching into Liu Shishi's clothes to help take them off. Of course, this was a small joke between the two of them.

"I'll let people see it later." Liu Shishi was quite shy.

"It's okay. There are no outsiders now. Director Lu is the only one inside." Yang Mi and Liu Shishi started to fight, mainly waiting, but also a little boring, "If Director Lu sees it, he might go to your place tonight."

Liu Shishi was 'kissed' and put his hand into Yang Mi's clothes. He was not afraid of losing everything. Anyway, there were no outsiders, and the only man was Director Lu in the inner room. Director Lu looked at it.

Besides, let's not talk about Director Lu reading it, it's okay to use it.

……

This is not a dream.

is real.

Everything just now happened for real.

Sure enough, the effect was much more real than in the dream, and the process and result were deeply experienced.

"After you take a taxi back by yourself, I won't see you off." Lu Chen picked up the wine on the coffee table and poured a glass. Afterwards, he had a glass of wine, happy like a fairy.

"Ah?" Tong Liya was taken aback for a moment, then nodded obediently.

There is still loss in the eyes.

It feels like Director Lu's toilet paper, throw it away after use.

"It's for your own good that I don't give it away to you." Lu Chen didn't want to be misunderstood as someone who lifts his pants and doesn't recognize people. No matter what, he still recognized people that day. "If I give it away to you, you won't be able to recognize people at Mars Film and Television." Treat well.”

Tong Liyan kissed her in public today, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some people.

If you send her home again, some people will definitely target her.

"Hmm~" Tong Liya also understood that everyone wanted to win Dao Lu, and he just kissed him in public, which would definitely make some people uncomfortable.

"Then you rest." Lu Chen straightened his clothes and had to go back and take a good shower.

"Director Lu, when will we do it next time?" Tong Liyan thought of something and asked quickly.

"Let's talk about it next time." Lu Chen didn't expect that Tong Liya was thinking about the next time.

As for Tong Liya's taste, it's pretty good. In her 20s, she's the best age for a woman.

This kind of fruit tastes just right.

"Director Lu, then walk slowly, and I won't see you off." Tong Liya had to recover well, and felt a little uncomfortable walking now.

Of course, I feel a little uncomfortable now, but in exchange for ten times the happiness just now, it is still worth it.

"Director Lu!"

The four people who were fighting outside saw Lu Tao coming out, so they quickly stood up and said hello. .

Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, and Liu Shishi were all pulling each other's clothes and joking just now.

"Hurry up and tidy up your clothes." Lu Chen reminded, this is not a test for himself, a piece of spring is just enjoying it for a while, otherwise it would be so uncomfortable to see these scenery.

The four of them noticed this and quickly arranged their clothes, but when Director Lu saw it, all four of them were willing.

"Yifei, let's go to your house, and you all go back too, and go to bed early." Lu Chen still misses Aunt Liu's food, of course it's not those big tonic dishes, what he misses is home-cooked food.

Although some dishes are very nourishing, the taste is really not very good.

"Okay, senior brother, let me tell my mother." Liu Yifei was so happy that she could explain to her mother, otherwise, if she didn't take her senior brother back, she would have to be reprimanded again, saying that she didn't follow her instructions.

"Director Lu, when will the new movie be filmed?" Zhao Liying still couldn't help asking, wanting to have an exact time so that she could count the days with her hands.

"When I finish filming "Batman: The Dark Knight" and arrange post-production work for two films, I will return to China to shoot." Lu Chen ordered, "Xiaoying, you must always be ready, read more scripts, Strive to be in the best condition to appear in the movie."

"Yes." Zhao Liying nodded heavily.

"Okay, you all go back." Lu Chen asked everyone to go back to their respective homes, and it was getting late.

Liu Yifei stepped forward and took Lu Chen's hand. Senior brother can say, go to his home tonight.

……

Peking, Mars Film and Television

"Brother Long, sit down." Lu Chen asked the female secretary to pour tea.

There are also Liu Ruyu, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei in the office.

"Director Lu, what's the matter with asking me to go back to China?" Chen Long became curious. Now "The King of Kung Fu" is filming foreign scenes and it's in the final stage.

But Director Lu first stopped the crew and let him fly to China.

I wonder if Director Lu is going to go abroad to film "Batman: The Dark Knight", so what can't be discussed abroad.

"Brother Long, I have a movie here. I want you to act in it. I directed it." Lu Chen had to make an appointment in advance, the actors of the 3D movie "The Wandering Earth".

Once the actors of "The Wandering Earth" are arranged, they have to get up and go abroad to film "Batman: The Dark Knight".

"Director Lu, are you sure you are the director, not the producer?" Chen Long thought that "The King of Kung Fu" was directed by Director Lu. After all, the investment was not small, more than 5000 million US dollars, and it was the first time he and Li Lianjie collaborated in the century .

But who can do it is directed by Wu Ershan, and Director Lu serves as the chief producer.

It is said that it is a director system, except for the start of the movie, I have never been to the crew a few times.

When I came to the set, I spent most of the time with Liu Yifei.

"I'm directing." Lu Chen felt quite embarrassed, and dragged Chen Long to make two live-action movies, and dubbed an animated movie, but Chen Long always wanted to act in the one he directed himself, but he couldn't make it happen.

"Director Lu, really, you didn't lie to me?" Chen Long asked again, "Are you co-directing?"

At the beginning, "Baby Project" was co-directed.

But Director Lu only filmed the scenes for three days, and Yang Lei directed the rest.

But the movie "Baby Project" was a success, with a box office of [-] million in the Mainland.

"I will direct alone." Lu Chen seemed to dispel Chen Long's doubts, "I will spend the most effort to shoot this movie. As for the production cost of the movie, it will start at [-] million US dollars."

This is still using your own Mercury special effects, otherwise the cost will be higher.

The reason for raising the production cost is also that Lu Chen knows that Huaguo movies have a limited global audience.

In order for the movie to achieve a good box office around the world, the only way to do it is to maximize the special effects and achieve the top level.

"The Wandering Earth" is extremely important for Chinese-language films to break out of Asia and go global, and there is no room for loss.

"How much?" Chen Long quickly sealed his mouth, otherwise the food in his mouth would be sprayed out, thinking that he had heard it wrong just now, "Director Lu, the production cost is [-] million, and there is no US knife behind it."

The production cost of [-] million US dollars.

Movies all over the world can be counted on two hands.

Current Hollywood blockbusters generally start at US$[-] million and never exceed US$[-] million.

With more than [-] million US dollars, the difficulty of making a profit is doubling.

"3 million US dollars, 3D movie." Lu Chen explained, "Because it is a 3D movie, the production cost will be particularly high, the shooting equipment will be expensive, and the shooting method will also be different. In order to serve the presentation of the [-]D screen, there will be More cameras, more workload..."

A good explanation of why the production cost is so high.

"Director Lu, you want a stud, play a big one." Chen Long still had a shocked expression on his face. Hearing what Director Lu said, this movie was not co-produced by China and the United States.

It's a Chinese movie.

Such a big investment.

Can costs be recovered globally?

If only relying on the mainland, the box office can reach [-] million US dollars, which is a fantasy.

Not to mention that [-] million US dollars is just the production cost.

It felt like Director Lu was taking a gamble, a big gamble.

However, Chen Long really believed in Director Lu, because the trailer of the Chinese-language animated movie "Kung Fu Panda" has already exploded in the world, and the global box office of the movie will not be too bad when it is released.

Lu Chen's real-life Chinese movie will definitely be a big hit.

As for 3D movies, Chen Long had heard of them before, but they didn't cause any sensation. The main reason was that the technology was quite immature, including major movie theaters that didn't support the playback of 3D movies.

But Chen Long wasn't worried about Lu Dao's move.

Director Lu has already used a movie to prove his ability, not to mention that Director Lu still has his own theater chain, so it is not a big problem if the broadcast does not support it.

"Brother Long, I play this big one. Are you interested in joining? Take a gamble with me." Lu Chen asked Chen Long to play the role, and he also thanked Chen Long for his previous cooperation, and agreed without hesitation.

Two.

It is Chen Long who has a very high international reputation.

"The Wandering Earth" is oriented to the world, and the Chinese actors in it must be well-known internationally.

Lu Chen intends to let Chen Long play the role of "Han Ziang" in "The Wandering Earth", that is, the "grandfather" of the hero Liu Qi. In the previous life, this role was played by Wu Mengda.

But in this life, Lu Chen has to let Chen Long play the role, and Chen Long is more famous.

As for acting skills, Chen Long can't lose to the Chinese-language Hongkong Film Kings.

In his previous life, Lu Chen liked Chen Long's movie "British Duel" very much. Chen Long played an old man in "British Duel". The action scenes in the movie are very Chen Long, and the action scenes are very exciting.

But Chen Long's emotional scenes in it are even more brilliant, overshadowing the action scenes, and his acting is very touching.

Therefore, Chen Longlai will play the role of "Han Ziang" in "The Wandering Earth", and he will definitely be competent.

"Director Lu, of course I'm interested." Chen Long was particularly curious about what kind of movie the production cost was so high.

As for the production cost.

It's impossible for Director Lu, for the directors under the company, he must be the director himself.

So this time, I can rest assured that I won't be fooled by Director Lu again.

"Brother Long, this time, you have to cooperate with our Yifei again." Liu Xiaoli took the words with a smile, in a particularly good mood.

My daughter can star in this Chinese-language production directed by Xiaochen himself.

It shows that his daughter is still the favorite of the minister.

Of course, Liu Xiaoli felt that she also had her share of credit for this, if not for teaching her daughter real skills, including the experience summed up over the years.

Let her daughter know how to please the minister.

Can the daughter continue to be loved by the minister?

Xiaochen was snatched away by other women long ago.

Does Liu Xiaoli know how many young female artists Mars Film and Television has, and they play director Lu's idea, and there are also female stars outside, and the competition pressure is particularly high.

"Yifei, then we are going to collaborate on another movie after "The King of Kung Fu." Chen Long smiled at Liu Yifei, then looked at Lu Chen, "Director Lu, what is the name of the movie you are talking about?" , who else will play the role?"
