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

Chapter 272 Eight Billion Dollars!

A stretched Cadillac drives down Hollywood Boulevard.

"Nervous?" Lu Chen noticed the nervousness on Gao Yuanyuan's expression, "Relax a little. As long as you work hard and act seriously, there will be more scenes like this in the future."

This also allows Gao Yuanyuan to work seriously for the company without having to pay for speaking anyway. It also allows Gao Yuanyuan to work harder in acting, and it is the company that ultimately benefits.

"Yeah~" Gao Yuanyuan nodded and relaxed.

I'm very glad that I had to leave my original company and join Mars Film and Television even though I had to sacrifice everything.

This decision will be the most important decision in life.

Now with his appearance in "The Dark Knight", he has become famous internationally and has become an international Chinese movie star.

Of course he knew that Director Lu gave him all this, otherwise how could he stand on the world film stage.

At this moment the car stopped.

Gao Yuanyuan tidied up her Hanfu.

This was specifically requested by Director Lu, and Gao Yuanyuan would definitely comply.

At that time, after trying on the custom-made Hanfu in China, I looked in the mirror and felt pretty good. Director Lu also experienced it, wearing Hanfu for the first time.

The driver got out of the car and opened the back door.

The camera flashes kept flashing, and the media reporters and spectators present were all waiting for the arrival of the landing guide.

Lu Chen got out of the car, Gao Yuanyuan followed, stepped forward to hold Lu Chen's hand, and faced the criticism of reporters from major media in the world, showing the intellectual beauty of Oriental women.

"Director Lu!"

The European and American spectators gathered outside began to shout in Chinese.

Europe and the United States worship strong people, and director Lu Chen must be a strong person in the film industry.

The films he directed have all been box-office hits, and he has won countless international awards. Under the age of 30, he is already a top director in the world.

Lu Chen smiled and waved, greeting everyone present.

"Director Lu, these European and American audiences all have your movie posters printed on their shirts." Gao Yuanyuan noticed that the audience surrounding the outside had shirts printed with "Batman: The Dark Knight", "Inception", "Kung Fu Panda", etc. Movie poster.

From this we can see the popularity of Director Lu in Europe and the United States.

Director Lu has conquered European and American audiences with each of his works, making European and American audiences crazy about Director Lu.

"Long live Director Lu!" Crazy audiences in Europe and the United States shouted excitedly. They love the works directed by Director Lu so much. The movies are endlessly memorable. Director Lu is God's best gift to the world's film industry.

Gao Yuanyuan also has pride on her face. Director Lu's success is the pride of all Chinese people. Director Lu is definitely the only one who can outdo famous European and American directors in the mainstream European and American film industry.

"Director Lu, we have to go in." Fred stepped forward to remind him.

With a smile on his face, "The Dark Knight" invested by Warner Bros. stole the show this time. It was the first superhero movie to break a billion dollars.

The movie became a hit, causing Warner Bros.'s share price to soar, and shareholders all beamed with joy.

It also allowed Warner Bros. and its DC comics and other superheroes to receive a lot of attention.

Moreover, Director Lu also made the role of the villain "Joker" in "Batman" famous. "Joker" is a supporting role in "Batman".

However, Director Lu's extremely high directing art has made the role of "Joker" more popular than other superheroes in DC Comics. With this popularity, he can definitely be the protagonist in the future.

After Lu Chen finished greeting the audience, the group arrived at the Hollywood Theater.

"Director Lu, there are some posters that are not for "Batman: The Dark Knight."" Gao Yuanyuan came in and found that nearly half of the posters hanging around were for "Batman: The Dark Knight."

But the rest are posters that have little to do with The Dark Knight.

Lu Chen looked at them and saw that these posters included "Superman", "Wonder Woman", "The Flash", "Aquaman" and other DC superhero posters.

Warner Bros. is going to build it, and it belongs to the DC Comics superhero universe.

No wonder Fred insisted on letting him attend the celebration banquet. It turned out that he wanted to use his fame for publicity.

"Director Lu, please come forward." Fred personally greeted the guests and guided Lu Chen to take a seat in the middle seat on the stage.

Gao Yuanyuan took a seat next to Lu Chen and looked at the dense crowd of well-known European and American media reporters in the audience. She felt particularly excited. If she had not done so before, how could she have dared to imagine standing on the stage of world cinema.

And now, she is the heroine of "The Dark Knight", which grossed a billion dollars at the global box office. Although she doesn't have many roles, she is the female character with the most roles in the movie.

"Thank you all for supporting Director Lu and "The Dark Knight"." Fred first thanked the media reporters for coming, his tone was very proud.

"Director Lu!" a reporter from Hollywood Film News asked first, "You didn't hold a celebration party for "Inception" and "Transformers", including "Kung Fu Panda"."

"For the first time, a celebration party was held for the release of "The Dark Knight" this year. This shows whether you are most satisfied with "The Dark Knight"."

"The Dark Knight" has indeed broken many records in the world of cinema.

It is also the first superhero movie to break a billion dollars.

Director Lu uses his strong directing ability to bring the superhero movie genre to a new level.

"I am very satisfied with every work you mentioned. They are all my proud works." Lu Chen answered the reporter's question, "As for why "Batman: The Dark Knight" held a celebration party."

"First, the film crew has put a lot of effort into the film, especially Heath Lager, who plays the 'Joker'. I need to reward everyone; of course, the most important thing is that the audience has given strong support to my work in the past two years. I have to find An opportunity to thank everyone for their support.”

"Papa~" As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Fred took the lead in applauding.

There was also warm applause from the audience.

Director Lu Chen can be regarded as the director who respects the audience the most.

Never ignore the audience because of good results.

"Mr. Heath Lager," a reporter from the Washington Post asked, "I heard that it was Director Lu who decided that you could play the Joker in "The Dark Knight" alone, and it was also Director Lu's insistence. , you can play the role of 'Joker'."

Fred felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Lu Chen was filming "Iron Man" at the time, and the actor for "Batman: The Dark Knight" was confirmed.

The biggest villain in the movie, the Joker.

It was Director Lu who made the decision. At that time, Fred met Heath Lager three times before filming started. Heath Lager's mental state became more and more unstable as time went on.

At that time, Fred suggested changing it, but Director Lu insisted and finally agreed.

But Fred never expected that Heath Lager's performance as Madman in the movie would endear him to the audience and make the role of "Joker" a hit.

It also made Fred admire Director Lu. Director Lu was able to reach the ranks of the world's top directors at such a young age and won the world's top film awards. Every ability was top-notch.

The selection of actors is extremely discerning.

"It is Director Lu's support that allowed me to play the role of 'Joker'." Heath Laijie answered the reporters' questions, "I am very grateful to Director Lu for giving me this opportunity. It was Director Lu who made the role of 'Joker' possible."

When Heath Lager was a kid, he loved Batman. He even wore a Batman suit and took photos of it as a fond memory.

Now that I am an adult, when I saw Director Lu giving me the script, I became more attracted to the role of 'Clown' and felt that I was the 'Clown'.

Heath Lajie's answer.

It also made the European and American reporters in the audience even more impressed by Director Lu's casting vision.

Most of the characters in Director Lu's works were decided by Director Lu, and Director Lu's movies have also created many classic characters.

"Director Lu, what are you reading?" At this time, the New York Times discovered that Director Lu was reading a book while Xislaijie was answering reporters' questions.

Other reporters also became curious.

When Director Lu came in just now, he had a book in his hand, and everyone was always curious.

"You are talking about this book." Lu Chen shook the book in his hand, "The science fiction novel "The Wandering Earth" was published in 2000 by Liu Yanxin, a master of science fiction in our country."

Just now, Lu Chen was deliberately attracting the attention of the media reporters in the audience.

These reporters will never ask again.

They all felt that the reporters in the audience were blind.

Warner Bros. held a celebration party for "The Dark Knight" so big that all the world's leading entertainment media were present.

Warner Bros. wanted to take the opportunity to promote other DC Comics superheroes.

Lu Chen thought that this time could not be in vain, he also had to promote "The Wandering Earth".

Certainly not a promotional film.

Rather, it promotes novels.

Let European and American audiences read the novel "The Wandering Earth" first, and only then will the movie become more popular.

Before Lu Chen came, he also met with Liu Yanxin from the Northwest Circle and obtained the exclusive overseas publishing rights for the novel. Publishing foreign books abroad is quite profitable.As long as the book is popular, after all, copyrights are expensive in Europe and the United States, and the price of books is also expensive.

Liu Yanxin sold the exclusive overseas publishing rights to Martian Film and Television novels for a price of just over 100 million, which was not expensive at all. Several novels were sold as a package.

One million was considered a huge sum of money in 100.

Liu Yanxin was quite grateful to Lu Chen. After all, the domestic publishing fee for a novel could not earn much money, let alone abroad.

Moreover, director Lu Chen can help him promote his novel abroad, and Liu Yanxin feels that he has made a lot of money.

""The Wandering Earth"?" The European and American reporters in the audience looked at each other in confusion. Most of them had never heard of it.

"Director Lu, why did you take this novel... The Wandering Earth at the movie celebration party?" The reporter from the Hollywood Film News couldn't help but ask.

The reporters in the audience were also curious.

"I'm sorry, I'm out of work." Lu Chen said he was panicking, but his face was not red and his heart was not beating. "The main reason is that the novel is so beautiful. It was originally meant to relieve boredom, but after reading it, it got out of hand and stopped at all. If you don’t come down, the novel “The Wandering Earth” is definitely the best science fiction novel I have ever read.”

The novel "The Wandering Earth" is praised as the best science fiction short story in the world.

Fred knew that Director Lu wanted to promote it, but he definitely had no problem with it. Warner Bros. invited Director Lu to promote the superheroes under DC Comics.

Lu Chen also took advantage of the celebration banquet prepared by the Hua Na brothers to promote "The Wandering Earth", which was considered as a way for everyone to get what they needed.

"Director Lu..." The reporters in the audience began to ask questions related to "The Wandering Earth".

Director Lu rarely praised people or his works.

This time at the movie celebration party, I couldn't help but read the novel.

This made the reporters in the audience curious about what kind of novel could make Director Lu sleepless and sleepless reading it.

Lu Chen answered the reporters' questions one by one. Warner Bros. deliberately made the celebration party so big, and they must take the opportunity to promote "The Wandering Earth".

"Dangdangdang~"

At this time, there was a bell ringing outside.

Fred was all smiles, because the bell will not ring until "The Dark Knight" reaches a global box office of $11 billion.

11 million US dollars!

It is already three movies higher than the global box office of its predecessor.

The heat is more than three times higher.

Director Lu Chen personally directed the film, which has brought the "Batman" IP to a new level.

Reporters from global media in the audience began to ask questions about "Batman" again.

11 million dollars!

It has reached the top five at the global box office.

This must be an epoch-making superhero movie.

It also lets the world see how awesome Director Lu Chen is.

Three global films have each exceeded US$10 billion, and one animated film "Kung Fu Panda" has ranked among the top five animated films in the world at the box office. This achievement is already outstanding among the others.

It is really the Chinese director Lu Chen who has singled out the entire European and American director world.

"..." Lu Chen originally wanted to talk about the novel "The Wandering Earth", but the bell rang so inappropriately, so he had to answer reporters' questions about "Batman".

Fred on the side is all smiles, 11 billion US dollars, this will definitely shock the world film industry.

……

America, Four Seasons Hotel
Gao Yuanyuan came in from outside, holding a bunch of newspapers and magazines in her arms and placing them on the table, "Director Lu, media around the world are now reporting that the global box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" exceeded 11 billion US dollars. Everyone Everyone is congratulating you and praising you, Director Lu."

Happy face.

As an actor in "The Dark Knight", Gao Yuanyuan is proud from the bottom of her heart.

Of course, it is also clear that it was Director Lu who brought "The Dark Knight" to a new level. All the actors in the movie have to thank Director Lu.

And because the box office exceeded 11 billion US dollars, the popularity of "Batman" has increased again.

Gao Yuanyuan believes that the country must also know that the global box office has exceeded 11 billion US dollars, and must be rushing to report it. It is a pity that she is in the United States and cannot get domestic newspapers.

Lu Chen asked Gao Yuanyuan to put down the newspapers and magazines.

Gao Yuanyuan watched Lu Chen flipping through the newspaper as if he was looking for something, "Director Lu, what are you looking for? I'll help you find it."

I want to serve Director Lu well with all my heart, so that Director Lu will be happy, and then I will arrange more roles for myself. As long as I embrace Director Lu's lap, I will definitely have a bright future.

Lu Chen took out a newspaper and smiled when he saw the novel "The Wandering Earth" was reported on it.

#The world's No.1 young director, the highly recommended science fiction novel "The Wandering Earth", what kind of novel is it? #
The article below the title introduces the novel "The Wandering Earth".

Gao Yuanyuan looked at the headlines in the newspaper and was confused. Director Lu was not concerned about "Batman: The Dark Knight" breaking 11 billion US dollars, but he was concerned about reports about the novel "The Wandering Earth".

Also, before leaving for China, Director Lu asked him to take the novel "The Wandering Earth" with him.

Could it be that Director Lu wants to remake the novel "The Wandering Earth" into a movie?

Thinking back again, at the end of last year, Lu Chen's new work was launched with a high profile. Could it be that Director Lu was filming "The Wandering Earth"?
As for Gao Yuanyuan's ignorance of this matter, "The Wandering Earth" must not have been announced to the outside world. Even some of the film crew members did not know what kind of movie it was filming.

"The Wandering Earth" has been kept secret, and it is also to create a sense of mystery first, and then announce it when the opportunity comes, the effect will be better.

Lu Chen continued to flip through the pages, looking at newspapers that had not yet reported on the novel "The Wandering Earth".

"Director Lu, are you looking for relevant reports on the novel "The Wandering Earth"?" Gao Yuanyuan had already guessed, "I will help you find it."

Looking for a long time.

Nearly thirty newspapers and magazines were brought in.

There are only two newspapers reporting on the novel "The Wandering Earth". They are not big media yet and their influence is limited.

This was because Lu Chen specifically talked about the novel "The Wandering Earth" at the movie celebration party, and only two media reported it.

Lu Chen took the two newspapers over and glanced at them a few times. This propaganda was not good enough.

It’s also no wonder that “The Dark Knight” is so popular, and it just broke $11 billion yesterday.

It seems that we have to spend some money to find a few media outlets to report it specifically.

Lu Chen had already thought of the title.

#The world's No.1 young director, a highly recommended science fiction short story, the best science fiction novel in the world, you will definitely regret it if you don't read it#
We must first make the novel "The Wandering Earth" popular, firstly to build momentum for future movies, and secondly to make a fortune from the novel's publishing fees.

Lu Chen's current popularity is already the hottest in the film industry, and the sales volume of this highly recommended novel will definitely not be bad.

It's just that the word count of "The Wandering Earth" is too few. If it had more words, the book could be sold at a good price.

"Director Lu, I have also read the novel "The Wandering Earth". It is very good." Gao Yuanyuan had indeed read it. This was the novel that Director Lu specially wanted to bring with him at that time.

So ahead of time, watch it several times.

I have read it several times, and the novel "The Wandering Earth" is not very long, just over 2 words. If you read it quickly, it will not take you half an hour.

"Bring me the computer." Lu Chen ordered.

"Okay, Director Lu!" Gao Yuanyuan quickly got the computer.

Lu Chen turned on the computer, opened the document, put his hands on the keyboard, and was about to write a new script.

Now that the filming of "The Wind" has ended and has entered post-production, it's time to prepare new works.

"Director Lu~" Gao Yuanyuan held her arms at this time, with charming eyes, "I felt that there were still some things I didn't do well last night, and I want to do better this morning."

I know I’m going back to my country.

Then you will have to separate from Director Lu.

Of course, Gao Yuanyuan also thought in her heart that Director Lu was young, rich, and talented. Spending happy time with such a man would make her whole body and mind happy.

"I think your performance last night was quite good." Lu Chen was quite satisfied and would not feel tired of repeating himself.

"Director Lu, but I think I didn't do a good enough job." Gao Yuanyuan said, stood up and sat on Lu Chen's legs. Their faces were almost touching, and they could both feel each other's breathing.

Lu Chen was not in the mood to work now.

"Director Lu~ If there is something wrong next, please give me some guidance."

How can a man refuse such a woman?
