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

Lu Chen entered the venue with the starring team of the movie "The Wind".

The domestic and foreign media reporters who had been waiting were pressing their shutters frantically.

Li Bingbing is all smiles. Since joining Mars Film and Television and following Director Lu, his acting career has been on the rise.

The first film he joined Mars Film and Television was the Sino-US blockbuster "The King of Kung Fu", cooperating with kung fu superstars Chen Long, Jet Li, and three major film festival queens Liu Yifei.

As the second female lead in the movie "The King of Kung Fu", she has received a lot of attention.

Then there is the current movie "The Wind", directed by Director Lu himself. Today's premiere is attended by well-known media at home and abroad, including the two most popular movies in the global film industry this year, "The Dark Knight" and "Iron Man" 》The starring team all came to the scene.

So today's premiere will attract a lot of attention.

Lu Chen took his seat at the first place, and Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Su Youpeng, Wang Baoqiang and others from the movie "The Wind" took their seats next to them.

"Director Lu, now the global box office of "Iron Man" has reached 6.49 million U.S. dollars and is heading towards the 7 million U.S. dollar mark. The movie has entered the top [-] in the global box office. How much box office do you think it can achieve in the end? What is the ranking?" Hua Guo When the reporter from the film newspaper asked, his eyes were full of admiration.

This is Director Lu.

Just make global movies.

It must have been the hottest topic in the global film industry that year.

07 film industry.

The hottest movie in the first half of the year was "The Dark Knight."

In the second half of the year, "Iron Man" is currently being screened in Europe, Asia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand and other countries.

Both films were directed by Director Lu.

In recent years, there have been the most names appearing in the global film industry.

He must be a Luchen of China.

A director from China conquered movie audiences around the world with a movie.

In the first half of the year, "The Dark Knight" grossed a global box office of US$11.46 billion, ranking among the top five in global movie box office history.

Now "Iron Man" is heading towards the US$7 million mark.

It has received rave reviews in Europe, England, France, Asia, Japan, South Korea and other countries, and the global box office is increasing rapidly.

"The final box office depends on the audience's support. As a director, I can only decide the quality of the movie. The decision-making power of the movie's box office is in the hands of the audience." Lu Chen's answer was very official.

"Director Lu, Robert Downey Jr., who plays 'Iron Man', has thanked you on many occasions and said that you created a real-life 'Iron Man'." A reporter from the Peking City Entertainment News began to ask, "It is rumored that during the casting of the movie , you chose Robert Downey Jr. against all odds."

"The casting of the movie is the result of everyone's discussion. From my point of view, whoever is suitable will be cast." Lu Chen couldn't possibly say that Manwe was particularly opposed to it at the beginning and wanted to give Manwe some face.

And these domestic reporters.

I didn't pay attention to the movie "The Wind" at all. I paid attention to the movies that had already been released.

What is happening now is the premiere of the movie "The Wind".

Of course, we can’t blame these reporters, who made “The Dark Knight” and “Iron Man” so popular in the global film industry this year that audiences around the world know about them.

"Director Lu, your latest work "The Wind" will be released in theaters early tomorrow morning." After a while, the reporter from the China Film News began to ask about the movie "The Wind" and returned to the topic, "This is your first This is a spy movie, why do you want to make a movie about this?"

"The happy life we ​​have today is the result of the bloody battles of our predecessors." Lu Chen answered with a particularly sincere expression, "It was obtained with the blood of countless predecessors, some on the battlefield and some on the underground battlefield."

"On the battlefield, there is already a trilogy of "Armageddon", but there are currently no movies about warriors on underground battlefields in China. I want to use movies to show the bravery of underground warriors back then."

Movies about war.

There are countless in the country.

But there are very few spy movies.

Especially not in the last ten years.

In the past ten years, there have been TV series of spy type, but spy TV series are also lukewarm.

The most popular TV genre, the ancient royal power struggle genre.

There are also classical fairy tale dramas represented by "The Fairy Sword", anti-Japanese dramas headed by "Bright Sword", military dramas headed by "Soldier Assault", martial arts dramas headed by "The Best in the World", and Qiong Yao Wants to Die A living romance drama.

Speaking of spy dramas, there are basically no famous ones in recent years.

"Clap!"

There was warm applause from the audience. Lu Chen said that there are indeed very few film and television works about underground fighters. No wonder "The Wind" was chosen to be released on National Day, and it was hailed as a birthday gift to the motherland.

Director Lu Chen's words made the domestic media in the audience stand in awe, thinking that Director Lu was worthy of being a famous director.

"Teacher Li Bingbing, this is your first time starring in Director Lu's film. What do you think?" The reporter from the Film Review asked Li Bingbing again.

Li Bingbing had been waiting for the reporter to ask, and gave a very general answer. With the style of a big star, "I am very grateful to Director Lu for choosing me to star in the movie "The Wind". I cherish this opportunity."

"On the crew of the movie "The Wind", I also experienced Director Lu's strictness and high demands. Director Lu has higher standards than other directors. Although it is hard work, the rewards are greater. After starring in the movie "The Wind", my acting skills There has been a big improvement..."

in answer.

Praise Director Lu.

I want Director Lu to be happy and allow me to star in more movies in the future, so that I can be blessed more often.

At night without Director Lu, sometimes it is really sad.

After the reporter asked Li Bingbing, he asked other movie stars.

"Baoqiang." When a reporter from the film newspaper asked Wang Baoqiang, he used an intimate address, "You will not be included in the starring list. What role did you play in the movie?"

Wang Baoqiang didn't expect to be asked this question. After all, he only stayed on the set of the movie "The Wind" for two days. "In the movie "The Wind," I played a leading soldier in the puppet army's secret service."

As soon as this word comes out.

It caused laughter from the media reporters in the audience.

"I believe that everyone has always been concerned about Baoqiang's works." Lu Chen took over and brought Wang Baoqiang over to promote Baoqiang's new work. "Baoqiang will have a new work with an anti-Japanese theme. It will be released at the end of this year. It will be launched on the online platform Mars Film and Television, and the TV stations will be broadcast simultaneously by Yangma [-] and Mango Channel."

Mars Film and Television has in-depth cooperation with Mango Channel.

When Lu Chen established Saturn Video, he introduced advertising and stole the TV station's income.

At that time, it was boycotted by several TV stations, but Mango Channel cooperated with Mars Film and Television.

Lu Chen still liked this relationship very much, and has been cooperating with Mango TV since then. The dramas produced by Mars Film and Television will be chosen to be launched on Mango TV.

The ratings of Mango Channel have also been rising steadily. The TV series produced by Mars Film and Television in the past two years have all been excellent and attracted a large number of viewers.

The two companies have always cooperated in depth.

Programs such as Kuaiman and Super Girl produced by Mango Channel are also launched on Mars Film and Television.

When other TV stations saw that Mango Channel had cooperated with Mars Film and Television and the ratings were rising, they also begged to cooperate with Mars Film and Television. Mainly because Mars Film and Television has mastered the best domestic film and television source.

We are not afraid of a boycott by TV stations.

Because there is also a Saturn video.

The TV series produced by Mars Film and Television can be directly launched on Saturn Video without being broadcast on TV stations. Therefore, local TV stations have no control over Mars Film and Television and can only kneel down and beg for food.

"Director Lu, can you reveal more information about Baoqiang's new work?" The reporters immediately asked. Wang Baoqiang is the first artist signed by Mars Film and Television, and he is born with enthusiasm.

Wang Baoqiang is also the artist with whom Director Lu has collaborated the most.

"Let Baoqiang answer this question." Lu Chen also asked Wang Baoqiang to show his face in front of reporters more. In the future, Mars Film and Television will focus on cultivating Wang Baoqiang.

In the past two years, arranging TV series for Wang Baoqiang also served to train Baoqiang's acting skills.

Let Bao Qiang challenge more movie roles.

At present, Baoqiang's movie roles, except for "Changjin Lake", all other character types are single.

I still hope to stay strong and practice more in TV series so that I can be competent in completely different movie roles in the future.

When Wang Baoqiang saw Director Lu, he asked himself to answer, and said: "My new work is called "My Brother's Name is Shunliu"..."

Answered many questions about "My Brother's Name is Shunliu".

After the reporters finished asking Wang Baoqiang, they asked Lu Chen about the movie "The Wind". When the early morning hours came, Lu Chen invited everyone.

Watch the movie "The Wind" released on October 10, China's first spy movie with a luxurious lineup.

……

January 2007, 10

Peking Hotel

"Director Lu~" Li Bingbing lay on top of Lu Chen, coquettishly.

Looking at Lu Chen's eyes, there must be no fluctuation.

I know that Lu Chen is not that interested.Since the premiere of "Movie", I have spent the past few days accompanying Director Lu by myself.

Li Bingbing tried his best to keep Director Lu fresh, but now he can't come up with new tricks, and Director Lu is not very interested anymore.

"Go a little further." Lu Chen no longer wanted Li Bingbing to stick to him, it was pointless.

Mainly because there are too many girls.

If there was only Li Bingbing, he would never get tired of it.

After all, Li Bingbing's looks and figure are very good. If there are more girls, the requirements will naturally be higher.

"Director Lu~" Li Bingbing lay down and whispered in Lu Chen's ear, "Tonight, I have a new trick."

Seeing that Lu Chen was planning to leave, he thought of keeping Director Lu.

"Next time." Lu Chen poured a bowl of water and patted Li Bingbing. When he saw Li Bingbing getting up and about to lie down, he immediately stopped him, "Get dressed and go to the front desk of the hotel to get today's newspaper. "

"Oh~" Li Bingbing thought it was about to start again, but it turned out that he was asked to get the newspaper, so he had to get up.

Lu Chen went to the bathroom and washed up, then sat on the sofa.

At this time, Li Bingbing had already returned with the newspaper and said with excitement on his face: "Director Lu, the box office of "Iron Man" in the Japanese and Korean film markets in Europe and Asia has been quite good, without any major gaps. There is also the movie "Iron Man" "The Wind", after three days of release, the box office has exceeded 1.35 million, reaching [-] million."

The eyes are full of admiration.

This is Director Lu.

1.35 million in three days.

At present, among mainland directors, only Director Lu can do it.

Not only was it a hit at the box office in the Mainland, but the movie also had a pretty good reputation.

#I knew that Director Lu would definitely surprise us when he touches on new themes. In the movie "The Wind", you don't know who the old ghost is until the end. The movie is amazing, even if you guess it. No one, but they would never have thought that two of the five people were members of our party. As for which two they were, I won't spoil it. Everyone, go to the movie and watch it. The movie "The Wind" is absolutely wonderful#
#Everyone’s performance is almost faultless. This is Director Lu’s skill in training actors. The overall story of the movie is advanced very reliably. This is Director Lu’s screenwriting ability. All aspects of the movie are quite in place. Su Youpeng’s "White Little Niu" 'The corner is definitely a surprise. Director Lu actually asked Su Youpeng to play a sissy, and the effect was quite good. Director Lu helped Su Youpeng find a new way to act.#
#When "The Wind" came out, it filled the gap in spy war movies. In my heart, the movie "The Wind" has become a god and is the No. 1 spy war movie. I am sure that in the future, in our mainland film and television industry, spy war type films and television works will be the best. , will spring up like bamboo shoots after the rain. This is the influence of Director Lu#
#Everyone's performance in the movie is just right. The characters and plot are reasonable and logical. The details are handled very carefully. You will never get tired of it no matter how many times you watch it. From Zhou Xun's eldest lady behavior at the beginning to the underground warrior at the end, every frame is perfect. Pulling you into your arms, listening to the last monologue in the dead of night, you can feel the intense beating of your heart#
#李冰兵 After joining Mars Film and Television, his first movie "The King of Kung Fu" was not surprising at all. It was a qualified work. I didn't expect that his appearance in "The Wind" directed by Director Lu would be such a big surprise. Director Lu She even made a fuss in the movie and arranged the sisterhood between Li Bingbing and Zhou Xun. I really love it#
Li Bingbing was very happy when he saw the comments online, especially the praise for himself.

This time, with "The Sound of the Wind", he became famous.

Lu Chen took the newspaper and read it, always paying attention to the information about the mainland film industry.

"Director Lu, do you have any plans for a new work recently?" Li Bingbing asked.

Director Lu's movie in the country has already been completed and has been resting for nearly two months.

Looking at the previous work plan of the pilot, taking two months off is simply unbelievable.

Of course, when Li Bingbing asked about his new work, he also wanted to star in director Lu's movie again.

It was the first time she starred in Director Lu's "The Wind", which attracted so much attention, and her acting skills were well received by audiences and film critics. If she had acted in a few more director Lu's works, she would have become the most famous movie star in the mainland.

Lu Chen did not answer Li Bingbing's words, but continued to read the newspaper and ordered, "Ask the hotel to bring breakfast. You don't have to wait for me at night. You can rest here. If you don't want to rest here, just tell the front of the hotel. "

In the past year, Lu Chen has no plans for new works.

The main time will be spent on the Olympic Games and the special effects production of "The Wandering Earth".

Of course, I haven't made a movie, and there are still two movies that haven't been released yet, one is "Manslaughter", and the other is "The Wandering Earth" which has already been filmed and is in post-production.

"Okay, Director Lu, I will check out of the room later. Without you, Director Lu, I don't want to live here alone." Of course, Li Bingbing didn't want to be in the hotel with Lu Chen.

I want to go to Director Lu’s home.

However, so far, no actress has ever spent the night at Director Lu's house, including none of the four actresses.

Lu Chen continued to read the newspaper.

Li Bingbing also got up and came to the hotel's landline to notify the hotel to bring breakfast.

At this time, the mobile phone placed on the table rang.

Lu Chen picked it up and took a look. It was Kevin Feiqi, the president of Manway, calling.

Premiere of the movie "The Wind".

The crews of "The Dark Knight" and "Iron Man" were present to congratulate him.

'Batman', 'Joker', 'Iron Man' and others have returned to the United States.

But Fred of Warner Bros. and Fred of Manwe are still in Peiping.

The two of them just wanted Lu Chen to sign a movie sequel contract with better conditions than before, and they both wanted to create greater glory with Director Lu.

Especially Manwei, who almost knelt down in front of Lu Chen and begged Director Lu to sign the sequel contract.

You must know that Manwe's first movie "Iron Man" directed by Lu Chen saved Manwe. Otherwise, if this continues, Manwe would have to disappear from the public eye while selling the copyright of the hero.

The global success of "Iron Man" solved all Manway's crises and made Manway a well-known film company in the United States.

a movie.

do it all.

It proves how good "Iron Man" directed by Director Lu is and how crazy it is around the world.

"Mr. Kevin." Lu Chen answered the phone.

Today I have to meet with Kevin Feige and Fred. I can't do it without meeting. Lu Chen is very annoyed, and the two of them have an attitude of not returning to the United States unless they give an accurate word.

……

February 2008, 2 (the fourth day of the first lunar month)

'DiDi~'

The phone rang.

Lu Chen, who had just woken up, picked up his phone.

It was the New Year blessing text message sent by Warner Brothers Fred and Manwick Kevin.

In June last year.

Lu Chen signed a contract with Warner Brothers and Manwei.

A sequel will be filmed within five years.

Originally I really didn’t want to make a sequel movie.

But the other party gave too much.

Warner Bros. offered a directing fee of US$500 million, including a 20.00% share of the box office of the sequel to "The Dark Knight."

Including actors in the movie, more Chinese actors can be used, as long as it does not exceed 30.00% of the total cast.

Of course, what excites Lu Chen the most is that Warner Bros. will jointly distribute the sequel to the movie "The Dark Knight" with Mars Film and Television (Overseas), giving Mars Film and Television (Overseas) more film distribution rights.

The Huana brothers spent a lot of money to win over Lu Chen.

The reason for such good conditions is that Lu Chen will continue to direct the "Batman" series. Warner Bros. is not interested in the profits of "Batman", but in using "Batman" to spread the popularity of other DC comic superheroes.

As long as their reputation is established, Warner Bros. can make live-action movies of DC Comics and other superheroes. This is a huge treasury.

Lu Chen made two superhero movies in 07.

It was rated as the superhero in the film industry by Time Magazine, and 07 was also named the year of superhero movies and the year of director Lu Chen.

In 07, Lu Chen was very successful. In the first half of the year, "The Dark Knight" and in the second half of the year, "Iron Man" made the global audience hooked.

The two words "Lu Chen" have also become the most valuable brand in the global film industry.

As long as a movie is directed by Director Lu, global audiences will recognize that the commercial value has surpassed that of veteran global directors such as Spielberg, and is sought after by global film companies, who pay Lu to direct movies.

As for Manwei's conditions being better than those of Warner Bros., director Lu's remuneration for the sequel to "Iron Man" was US$4000 million in directing fees and a 20.00% share of the movie's box office.

The most important thing is that Manwei sold its shares at a low price.

The $4000 million directing fee will be converted into shares, with [-]% of Manway shares, which is definitely a huge profit.

Mars Film and Television will invest another US$1.5 million in the future to acquire [-]% of Manway's shares.

When this series is completed, Mars Film and Television will hold a 20.00% stake in Manwei.

Manwe can agree because he knows that in the future, the global film industry will have a situation where the big fish eats the small fish. If Manwe wants to develop, he must have a big partner.

Although Mars Film and Television cannot compare with major Hollywood studios.

But Mars Film and Television has a director Lu, and the future is limitless, and Manwei also needs a director Lu.

"Dong dong~" At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Liu Ruyu, who was wearing a bright red cheongsam, came in with a smile on her face, "Minister, it's time to get up, the guests who are waiting for New Year's greetings are coming." (End of Chapter)
