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

Chapter 263 Movie "The Wind"

When Huang Xiaoming, Wang Baoqiang and others were sitting, their postures were upright and their eyes showed admiration and respect.

Admiration is Director Lu's achievements in the world film industry. It can be regarded as the biggest name in the Chinese film industry in the world. Director Lu is a brand that everyone can be proud of overseas.

Respect means that Director Lu is the big boss.

The big boss who decides the life and death of all artists.

It can be said that even if she sells tofu outside, as long as Director Lu is willing, she can become a popular Chinese movie star. Even if she doesn't know how to act, Director Lu can teach her.

The four young actors were taught step by step.

Including the artists who joined Mars Film and Television in the early stage, all were directed by Director Lu personally.

Of course, things are different now. Mars Film and Television has already become a giant in the Chinese film industry, and Director Lu can no longer spend time teaching new actors.

Unless there is something proud about this female artist.

"Have you read the movie script?" Lu Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip. He had been drinking coffee in America some time ago.

Now that I'm back in China, I still feel that the tea tastes better, and it's fragrant in the mouth.

Coffee is like a woman with a good figure; tea is like a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River. Savor it carefully and it will taste better.

"I've seen it." Everyone nodded.

I have read the script of the movie "The Wind".

The brilliant script of the movie impressed all the actors present.

Thinking that he is worthy of being Director Lu who is as good at screenwriting as he is at directing.

You must know that Director Lu is also the best screenwriter winner at the Academy Awards, Hong Kong Film Festival, Taiwan Golden Horse, and Mainland Golden Rooster Film Festival. His film stories such as "Inception", "Let the Bullets Fly", and "Kung Fu Panda" have attracted audiences around the world. Cheers to that.

"Director Lu, I can almost memorize the movie script." Li Bingbing stood up and sat on Lu Chen's lap as he spoke, "When the movie starts, I will definitely give [-]% of my efforts to play "The Wind" well. The 'Li Ningyu' corner."

Make intimate gestures in public.

I also want everyone to know that my relationship with Director Lu is extraordinary.

Only in this way can you get more care in the company.

Because of this relationship, the four little actresses received some good film and television resources from the company, and received special care from the company's directors such as Ning Hao, Wu Ershan, and Yang Lei.

For female roles in movies, the directors of the company will give priority to the four actresses without Director Lu having to ask.

"Go back to your place." Lu Chen didn't like this in public.

"I'm sorry, Director Lu." Li Bingbing realized that he was wrong, and immediately returned to his previous seat obediently, with a pitiful look in his eyes, hoping that Director Lu could forgive him.

"Baoqiang, that TV series of yours..." Lu Chen couldn't remember the name for a while.

This TV series is tailor-made for Wang Baoqiang.

Lu Chen didn't participate at all.

However, the movie script and cast were sent to my mailbox, but I didn’t have time to read them.

"My brother's name is Shunliu." Wang Baoqiang quickly reminded that this was tailor-made by the company to fit his own image.

Except for Wang Baoqiang's image in "Changjin Lake" which is very different, in other dramas he has a naive image.

"When I finish filming here, you can go to the crew of "My Brother's Name is Shunliu"." Lu Chen arranged for Wang Baoqiang to have only one supporting role in "The Wind".

In the movie, a large guard guard.

There was a scene opposite "Gu Xiaomeng" played by Zhou Xun.

When Gu Xiaomeng, played by Zhou Xun, was under house arrest, he asked to make a phone call. The boss said that there were regulations from above and he was not allowed to talk to the outside world. Finally, Zhou Xun asked the boss to help him make a phone call to his home.

The big-headed soldier looks silly, so it's perfect for Wang Baoqiang to make a cameo. Now Wang Baoqiang doesn't have the aura of 'Feng Yuxiu' yet, and he still needs to train.

"Okay, Director Lu." Wang Baoqiang has always obeyed the arrangements absolutely, just like 'Xu Sanduo' in "Soldier Assault".

"Teacher Zhang Hanyu, is "Assembly" finished?" Lu Chen asked. Zhang Hanyu is definitely the leading actor in "The Wind". Once he joins the cast, he will definitely not be able to shoot other scenes.

"It has been completed for more than a month." Although Zhang Hanyu is older, in the film industry, he is definitely the younger brother to the famous Director Lu.

This is also the third time working with Director Lu.

The first time was "A World Without Thieves" and the second time was "Changjin Lake".

Zhang Hanyu is looking forward to this new cooperation.

In the previous two movies, he was definitely not the leading actor. This time, in Director Lu's new movie "The Wind", he is the male protagonist with the most scenes.

"Okay, Mr. Hanyu, please prepare that piece. The movie will be started when I come back from Hong Kong after attending the Hong Kong Film Awards." Lu Chen looked at all the artists present, "You are all the same, you are all ready."

Lu Chen hopes to start the machine.

All the actors got into the mood and didn't want anyone to slow down the crew.

Li Bingbing's eyes were hungry, no, he was eager to look at Lu Chen, hoping to take him to the Hong Kong Film Awards to show his face. As long as she was Lu Chen's female companion, she would always be noticed by media reporters.

"If nothing happens, you can go back." Lu Chen finished speaking.

The female secretary has opened the door.

This made Li Bingbing disappointed, but thinking about filming with Director Lu soon, he became happy again.

I am also very confident in my heart. I have read the script of "The Wind" and I feel that the role of "Li Ningyu" I play has a lot of room for performance. Previously, there was not much room for performance in "The King of Kung Fu".

This time, the script of "The Wind" is so exciting. Director Lu directed and wrote it himself. He must play "Li Ningyu" well and be nominated for an award.

Then you can participate in the film festival with Director Lu and get more attention from Director Lu.

"Director Lu, thank you for allowing me to appear in your work." Baodao singer Su Youpeng stood up and bowed in thanks.

Su Youpeng, a former member of the Little Tigers, is a well-known Taiwanese singer.

But now I rarely sing anymore and have turned to the film and television industry.

He became popular after playing the role of "Fifth Prince" in the costume drama "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".

Su Youpeng really likes acting. He has always wanted to cooperate with a great director and be trained in acting by a great director. He did not expect that this time he would be able to work with Director Lu, who is the best at Chinese speaking and the best at coaching actors.

I feel honored in my heart.

Su Youpeng read the script of the movie "The Wind" dozens of times.

The role of 'Bai Xiaonian' played in the movie is a famous Kunqu opera actress.

Su Youpeng also deliberately studied Kunqu Opera in order to contribute a good performance in the movie. This time he is working with Director Lu. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he must perform well.

"Why do you speak so weirdly?" Lu Chen felt a little goosebumps listening to Su Youpeng speak.

As for finding Su Youpeng.

It's because the other party is a Baodao singer.

I promised to take care of Baodao artists before.

Anyway, this is a sure-profit deal. Baodao Film Capital will give up Baodao's film market and increase the share of Martian film and television works in Baodao.

This did not attract Lu Chen.

The following conditions are required to attract Lu Chen.

When Baodao artists come to the mainland, they have to go to the Mars Film and Television Pier. They will be listed under Mars Film and Television, and Mars Film and Television will take a cut.

In order to squeeze into the mainland film market, Baodao Film Capital also spent a lot of money and made Yu Luchen an offer he couldn't refuse.

Baodao Film Capital also knows that the Baodao film market is limited. The mainland film market is developing rapidly due to the rise of the mainland and mainland directors, and has unlimited potential.

The biggest battlefield for Chinese movie stars in the future will definitely be the mainland film market.

Of course, Lu Chen directed the movie "The Wind" and found Su Youpeng to star in it. The most important thing is that Su Youpeng has acting skills and was also the actor who played "Bai Xiaonian" in his previous life.

"Director Lu, didn't the character of 'White Calf' in the movie "The Wind" speak like a sissy? I've learned to speak in advance, and I won't be able to change it for a while. I'm sorry, Director Lu." Su Youpeng apologized.

All the artists present couldn't help laughing.

Lu Chen also wanted to laugh, but it was definitely not good to laugh like this. The other person was trying hard and wanted to play a good role, so he should be encouraged, "It doesn't matter, besides, your professionalism deserves encouragement. And Huang Xiaoming, how are you doing in Japanese?" .”

"Director Lu, you've learned enough..." Huang Xiaoming was behind, speaking Japanese and English.

"Xiao Ming, how many languages ​​do you speak?" Zhou Xun couldn't help but joke.

"I'm learning to do the splits now." Huang Xiaoming is also having a hard time. He studied English for several months while filming "Partners in China", and now he has to film "The Wind", which requires another few months of Japanese.

Now I speak every day in three languages, "Director Lu, don't worry, when the movie starts, I will definitely not be able to speak three languages."

"Okay, you all go back." Lu Chen laughed, and Huang Xiaoming's words were even more funny. However, it can be seen from this that Huang Xiaoming is really working hard, "By the way, Li Bingbing, you stay."

"Okay, Director Lu!" Li Bingbing turned around immediately with a happy expression.

Lu Chen glanced at the female secretary and signaled to call Ning Hao and Wu Ershan in. "No Man's Land" and "The King of Kung Fu" had already been filmed, and it was time to tell them about the release.

He was picking up the teacup and hadn't taken a sip yet.Looking at Li Bingbing sitting on his lap, "What are you doing?"

"Director Lu, the pronunciation is wrong, it's the fourth tone." Li Bingbing bit his lip and leaned closer.

"Come down quickly." Lu Chen left Li Bingbing behind because she cooperated with the promotion of "The King of Kung Fu" and also gave Li Bingbing an opportunity to be exposed. Not only did it explode, but there was also a light word behind it.

As an artist of Mars Film and Television, Li Bingbing became popular and it was the company that benefited.

"Director Lu, I prepared this specially for you~" Li Bingbing took off his coat and unbuttoned his shirt.

Knowing that I was meeting Director Lu today, I specially wore something sexy.

Lu Chen admired it. It was indeed sexy, and it was hollow. The pattern was quite beautiful, and of course it was a good foil. The 3D effect of the hollow pattern was particularly strong, and it would definitely be better than the 3D visual effect of "The Wandering Earth" in the future.

"Dong dong~" At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the female secretary, "Mr. Lu, Ning Hao and Director Wu Ershan, I have brought them over."

"What are you doing in a daze? Do you still want to broadcast live?" Lu Chen signaled to come down quickly.

Li Bingbing quickly buttoned up his shirt, picked up his jacket and put it on, arranging his clothes and hair in front of his eyes. His face turned red and hot, thinking that Director Lu wanted to reward him by leaving him behind.

It turned out that there was something serious to do. Fortunately, I didn't start directly just now, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stop it.

"Come in." Lu Chen picked up the tea cup again. His mouth was a little dry just now, and his resistance was still weak. He was not a veteran cadre, and he really couldn't withstand such a test.

The female secretary opened the door after hearing what Mr. Lu said. She went out just now, but she knew that Li Bingbing was also inside, so she didn't push the door directly in. If she saw scenes inappropriate for children, she wouldn't be able to do her job.

"Director Lu!" Ning Hao and Wu Ershan came in and called them respectfully.

"Everyone sit down." Lu Chen looked at Ning Hao, "I suggest that "No Man's Land" be released during the summer vacation in mid-June. What do you think?"

The movie "No Man's Land" is too dark.

It will be released during the summer vacation.

It also appeals to the movie audience, which is mainly college students.

College students still like this type of movie. The artistic content of the movie "No Man's Land" is still very high. Lu Chen has seen the finished film and found it to be similar to the previous one. He still has high expectations for the box office performance.

However, "No Man's Land" is not for family fun. The main audience is still for today's young people. Summer vacation is the best time for "No Man's Land".

"Director Lu, I have no objection." Although Ning Hao is the director of the movie, the film schedule must follow Director Lu's arrangements.

What's more, in Ning Hao's heart, it was enough for "No Man's Land" to be released in theaters. Ning Hao was still very grateful to Director Lu for this matter.

It was Director Lu who negotiated with the superiors that finally allowed "No Man's Land" to pass the review.

"No Man's Land" is a movie that Ning Hao has always wanted to make. After filming "Crazy Racing", he wrote the script for "No Man's Land". However, Director Lu said at the time that it would not be released even after filming, and the script was Store for a period of time.

After that, Mars Film and Television became stronger, and Director Lu supported him in filming "No Man's Land", and now "No Man's Land" is finally about to be released.

Ning Hao was extremely excited. The child he valued most was finally going to meet someone. Whether it was good or bad would be left to the audience to judge.

But Ning Hao was very confident because Director Lu had watched "No Man's Land" and gave it a high evaluation. Director Lu's vision would never be wrong.

"No objection, then the matter is settled. One or two months before the release, the company will promote the movie." Lu Chen ordered, "You and the movie actors will cooperate with the company's publicity work."

Ning Hao nodded, saying okay.

After Lu Chen finished chatting with Ning Hao about "No Man's Land", he looked at Wu Ershan again, "Universal Pictures has told me that "The King of Kung Fu" will be released in late April. Actors, cooperate with Universal Pictures’ promotional efforts.”

I was short of money at first.

Lu Chencai produced "The King of Kung Fu".

It was packaged and sold to Universal Pictures for more than $1 million.

Net profit of about US$[-] million.

Now that the movie is released, the movie actors must cooperate with the publicity, so that the movie will have more box office, at least so that Universal Pictures will lose less, or make Universal Pictures make more money.

Also, this Universal movie is pretty crappy.

See "The Dark Knight" become a global hit.

"The King of Kung Fu" was immediately scheduled to be released later. As the film's director, Lu Chen's name on the promotional poster was bigger than that of the film director Wu Ershan and the actors.

On the movie's promotional poster, the word "Lu Chen" is written in big letters.

Looking at the promotional poster at that time, Lu Chen was quite speechless. He thought he was directing it, but he didn't stop it. After all, Universal Pictures paid more than 1 million US dollars to buy it, so it was okay to use it to promote it.

"Okay, Director Lu." Wu Ershan was very excited.

Although "The King of Kung Fu" has already been packaged and sold, the proceeds have little to do with the company.

But the box office of a movie is the most convincing way to prove a director's ability.

This time, "The King of Kung Fu" has a large investment. The heroine is Liu Yifei, the most popular of the four female actors, and there are two kung fu superstars Chen Long and Jet Li. The global box office will definitely not be far behind.

Wu Ershan feels that "The King of Kung Fu" will definitely break the record of his directing career.

"How are the preparations for the movie "Red Cliff" going?" Lu Chen previously made revisions to the script. After several revisions, Lu Chen has approved the script of the movie "Red Cliff".

"Preparations are underway, and there are still a few actors who have not yet been confirmed." Wu Ershan asked, "Director Lu, do you have any suitable candidates?"

I hope Director Lu can arrange the actors well.

Director Lu's vision was much more sinister than his own.

Heath Lager, who plays the Joker in "The Dark Knight," was chosen by Director Lu alone.

The "Joker" played by Heath Raiders has been highly praised by movie fans around the world, who even said that Heath Raiders is the "Joker" himself.

It was Lu Chen who discovered Heath Lager and created the 'Joker' who is even more popular than the protagonist Batman.

"Now that you are also a director, you must have your own opinions on film actors." Lu Chen also cultivated Wu Ershan's ability, "In this way, you can go to the Hong Kong Film Awards with me to see if there are any suitable actors. .”

"Okay, Director Lu." Wu Ershan listened to the arrangements.

"It's nothing, let's get going." Lu Chen got up and went home.

Li Bingbing watched eagerly, thinking that Wu Ershan, the director of "The King of Kung Fu", was going to attend the Hong Kong Film Awards. As an actor in the film, could he bring it along?

However, Lu Chen walked out of the door without saying anything about it.

Lost again.

It seems that we can only wait for the new film "The Wind" with Director Lu.

……

December 2007, 4

Grand Theater of Xiangjiang Cultural Center.

The 26th Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony will be held here tonight.

Chinese filmmakers gathered at the Hong Kong Cultural Center.

At this time, a total of twelve convoys came slowly from the front.

The reporter immediately focused on the slowly approaching motorcade.

The car has the logo of Mars Film and Television, and such a large convoy must be a convoy of members of the Mars family. Among the artists nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards this year, the proportion of the Mars family is not as high as that of the Baodao Golden Horse Awards, but the proportion is not as high. Smaller.

Twelve cars were filled with Mars artists participating in the Academy Awards.

As soon as Liu Yifei got out of the car, she came over to hold Lu Chen's hand. She was wearing a white dress and faced the flashes of reporters' cameras confidently.

Regarding the Best Actress Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards, I have great confidence in my heart.

Although her competitor is Teacher Gong Li from "The Golden Armor in the City", Liu Yifei is not guilty at all. Her senior brother said that you don't need to care how strong others are, you just need to be stronger yourself.

An actor must have a strong heart, just like in the TV series "Bright Sword" produced by Senior Brother, the brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road.

Nominated for Best Actress are Liu Roying's "Happy Birthday", Mo Shunjun's "Big Husband 2", and Liang Luoshi's "Isabella", all of which are well-known Chinese actresses.

But Liu Yifei is not vain at all.

She must win the Best Actress award at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards.

Currently, I have won the Best Actress Award from Mainland Baihua and Baodao Golden Horse for "Young You". If I win the Academy Award again, it will be a Grand Slam at the Chinese Film Festival. This honor will be different, and it will not be in vain for my senior brother. Take care of yourself.

At that time, media reporters will say that they are Baihua, Golden Horse, and Golden Image Queen, and they can give themselves the title of 'Chen Girl'.

"Director Lu, please come here." A staff member of the Hong Kong Film Awards Organizing Committee guided Lu Chen on the red carpet.

This year's Academy Awards is the same as last year. Director Lu Chen received the most attention, and the organizing committee took great care of him.

This year's "The Dark Knight" directed by Lu Lu has been a hit all over the world. The box office is still growing strongly and is heading towards a new record for superhero movies.

There is also the previous "Kung Fu Panda", which let the world see a well-made animated film with a wonderful story set in China.

The release of "Kung Fu Panda" has greatly improved the self-confidence of overseas Chinese. They can loudly say that the Chinese have director Lu, whose representative work is "Kung Fu Panda", a Chinese-language animated film.

Many Xiangjiang citizens and Director Lu's most loyal fans came from all over the world to meet Director Lu.
