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

"Director Lu, congratulations!"

When people in the hall saw Lu Chen and Liu Yifei getting up together, they all stepped forward to congratulate him.

The success of last night's opening ceremony has brought Director Lu's identity to a higher level in China and the world.

Director Lu Chen!

Already known to billions of people around the world.

No one in China knows about Director Lu Chen's name, men, women, old and young.

"Thank you everyone!" Lu Chen came down to greet everyone.

"Director Lu, last night you were the most watched person in the world, and you were praised by hundreds of millions of people." Han Shanping read the newspaper today.

All major domestic newspapers, whether state-owned or private, were praising last night's Olympic opening ceremony, as well as the chief director Lu Chen.

Han Shanping recalled Lu Chen's career as a director.

The first film won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival.

His reputation at the time was unparalleled.

Some people also think that this is the peak of their debut and will be the highest peak among people.

Like director Chen Kaige, he won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival with "Farewell My Concubine". This was also the pinnacle of director Chen Kaige, and he will never be able to reach the heights of "Farewell My Concubine" again.

Of course, Chen Kaige has also become an internationally famous director with this Palme d'Or trophy. He has never lacked investment in China. Even if "The Promise" failed, there will still be capital willing to believe in Chen Kaige.

Director Lu's first work, "The Blind Shaft," won the Golden Bear, becoming the youngest winner in history.

This is definitely not the peak, but a beginning.

Director Lu Chen's current achievements are beyond the reach of all mainland directors.

"Mr. Han, I'm so proud of you for praising me like this." Lu Chen joked and started chatting with Han Shanping.

Thinking that Han Shanping can still laugh and chat with him now.

When "The Wandering Earth" is released in a while, I will probably want to beat myself up.

"The Wandering Earth" needed a 3D theater, so Han Shanping was not informed of it, and he kept it secret. He just wanted to take the opportunity to let Jupiter Cinemas seize the theater market of Huaguo Film Group.

Of course, doing so will definitely have an impact on the movie box office.

But in the long run, the advantages will definitely outweigh the disadvantages. Jupiter Cinemas must be supported to become the real No. 1 theater chain, and prepare for China's economic boom and the rapid growth of the film market after 08.

Whoever controls the theater chain in the future will have the real say in the Chinese film industry.

"Director Lu, your opening ceremony shocked the world last night. This must be the most successful opening ceremony in the history of the Olympic Games." Doug, Vice President of Universal Pictures, and Fred, Vice President of Warner Brothers, stepped forward to congratulate .

The two of them were also at the Bird's Nest last night and watched the opening ceremony with their own eyes and were deeply shocked.

Previously, the two of them felt that Director Lu Chen should not give up his film career and waste a whole year.

According to Director Lu's efficiency, he might be able to produce three movies in a year. If they were all global commercial blockbusters, then the three movies would not have a box office of more than 20 billion US dollars.

But when the opening ceremony comes out.

feel.

This is Director Lu!
Whether it's a movie or an opening ceremony, it's all at your fingertips.

Now in the hearts of Doug and Fred, the opening ceremony of the 08 Beijing Olympics last night definitely surpassed the opening ceremonies of the 84 Los Angeles Olympics, the 92 Barcelona Olympics, and the 04 Athens Olympics.

This is the most exciting and successful opening ceremony since the Olympic Games began.

This is not just Doug and Fred’s personal opinion.

What does the whole world think, including the world's major media, which all praised the opening ceremony.

#Some people say "Inception" is Director Lu's most successful work, some say "Kung Fu Panda" is Director Lu's best work, and some say "The Dark Knight" is Director Lu's culmination of works, but yesterday Afterwards, I believe that in the eyes of Director Lu’s fans all over the world, the most successful work is the opening ceremony of the 08 Olympic Games directed by Director Lu - The New York Times#
#Director Lu has reached a perfect level of understanding of lighting, stage, and synchronization of sound, painting, and dance. This is not only an opening ceremony, but also a movie, a movie that shows the 5000-year cultural history of China. ——European Popular Newspaper#
#Last night at the opening ceremony of the Peking Olympics, the scroll program was a masterpiece. As the performance progressed, the scrolls continued to display some images, such as rock paintings, oracle bones, bronzes, ancient paintings, porcelain, books, etc., all of which are from China. The display of ancient civilization, as well as the emergence of modern Chinese cities, buildings, railways, etc., symbolize that the ancient Eastern civilization has entered a new era. This is a Chinese country embracing the new world - Washington Post#
#Last night the opening ceremony of the Peking Olympics made the whole world understand who was the cultural center of ancient Asia. China has a lot to learn from. The Tang Dynasty before and Xinhua today. I really hope that our country can also produce a person like this. Young director directed by Lu Chen - Island Times#
Media from all over the world gave very high praise to last night's opening ceremony. Many media even rated last night's opening ceremony as the most exciting opening ceremony since the Olympic Games began.

This is the foundation of the world’s No. 1 young director!

"Times" even put Lu Chen on the cover and named him the most influential person in 08.

Last year's movie year belonged to director Lu Chen.

In 07, "The Dark Knight" in the first half of the year and "Iron Man" in the second half of the year were all over the world, setting box office records in various regions.

This year, there have been no films released by Director Lu, including global films and Chinese-language films.

The whole world knows that Lu Chen put down his work and was preparing for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

When the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games came out, everyone in the world understood that this year still belonged to Director Lu Chen, and no one in the directing world could compete with Director Lu.

"Those are all the result of the hard work of the actors and staff in the audience. This is everyone's credit." Lu Chen talked with Doug and Fred.

I originally planned to meet the two of them today to talk about foreign theater chains. I hope that foreign theater chains will have more theaters that support 3D playback.

Although "The Wandering Earth" is a film starring Chinese actors, its goal is to target the global film market. The largest film market will definitely not be domestic, but overseas.

So I planned to have a good chat with Doug from Universal Pictures and Fred from Warner Bros. During this period, I also chatted with them several times about theater issues.

These two Hollywood film companies both have good theater resources.

Of course, it’s not just about overseas theaters, but also overseas film distribution.

With the current strength of Mars Film and Television (overseas), it is unable to distribute it independently. With such a huge investment, "The Wandering Earth" needs to find several partners.

Universal Pictures and Warner Bros., which we have collaborated with before, are the best choices.

But with so many guests at home today, I'm afraid I won't be able to talk to Doug and Fred. We will have to talk in detail another day when we have time.

December 2008, 8

Peking, Jupiter Cinema
The cinema has suspended audiences today in the name of renovation.

Inside the cinema, there are many famous domestic and foreign movie stars.

Today "The Wandering Earth" will be played in cinemas, of course it will be played internally. The main creative team of "The Wandering Earth" are present today.

The leading actors include Liu Yifei, Zhang Ruoyun, Chen Long, Zhang Ziyi, Ge You, Jet Li, and others, as well as guest appearances by top Chinese movie stars such as Gong Li, Zhou Runfa, and Zhang Manyu.

Including Robert Downey Jr., Leonardo DiCaprio and other international movie stars.

"YES, we have won another gold medal." Chen Long held his mobile phone in his left hand and waved his fist excitedly with his right hand. Since the Olympic Games started on August 8, people across the country have been paying attention to the Olympic Games.

Especially the number of medals.

China currently ranks first.

This is also the first time that China has ranked first in the medal rankings at the Summer Olympics.

"Let me see." Ge You came over to watch, and was equally excited when he saw that he had actually won another gold medal.

"Now China has undergone earth-shaking changes, which deeply shocked Americans like me. It's just like a proverb in your country." When Robert Downey Jr. said this, he began to say in Chinese, "We were separated for three days. , treat it with admiration."

Foreign media before.

No one expected that China would rank first on the gold medal list.

But now China has done it and become a sports power.

Not only did the opening ceremony shock the world, but the number of gold medals won by China in this Olympic Games also shocked the world, surpassing the United States, the biggest gold medal country in the Summer Olympics.

Let the people of the world understand that China is really different.

Capital from all over the world has also taken a fancy to the soil of China and is preparing to take money to invest in China.

After hearing Tang Ni's words, Leonardo also expressed his views on China. He never thought that China would be ranked first.

This really shocked the world.Just like the opening ceremony a few days ago, China brought too many surprises to the world.

In this Olympic Games, China also stole the show in the world.

"It's no longer three days, we have gone through nearly sixty years." Ge You sighed with deep pride on his face.

Now China has truly risen, allowing the world to look at the new China again.

"The future will get better and better." Liu Yifei also chimed in, with the same pride on her face.

The glory of the Peking Olympics.

They belong to Chinese people all over the world.

There is also the opening ceremony directed by Senior Brother, which can be rated as the most successful opening ceremony in history. Now Senior Brother is a hot celebrity in the world.

"Yifei, today we are all gathered here to watch "The Wandering Earth"." Ge You looked at Liu Yifei, "None of us have seen it. You are so close to Director Lu, so you should have seen it. Tell us how the movie is. .”

Others became curious.

This "The Wandering Earth".

It started production at the end of 06.

And now it is the second half of 08.

It's been almost two years.

Director Lu has never produced a work that took such a long time to produce.

It is said that in the past two years, Mercury Special Effects has not taken any orders from outside, and has devoted itself wholeheartedly to the post-production special effects production of "The Wandering Earth".

Moreover, Mercury Special Effects has hired many talents from world-class special effects companies before.

So everyone is curious about what this "The Wandering Earth" will be like. It has been prepared for so long, and Director Lu is directing it himself. I am afraid it will be a shocking work.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it either." Liu Yifei shook her head, but she was actually looking forward to it more than everyone else.

Senior brother has been preparing for so long.

All employees of Mercury Special Effects have not had a long vacation for two years.

Including the past year, my senior brother has been almost the training ground for the Olympics, running both ways with Mercury special effects.

I am looking forward to what kind of movie "The Wandering Earth" will be.

"Yifei, are you afraid of revealing it? Director Lu will blame you then. It doesn't matter, everyone will watch it soon anyway." People present joked.

I also want to know in advance.

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games has been kept mysterious a few days ago. When it actually started, everyone was deeply shocked.

It's so wonderful, so wonderful. The opening ceremony is an ultimate visual feast, and the opening ceremony must not be flashy. Every program in the opening ceremony showcases Chinese culture very well.

Everyone felt that the opening ceremony that night greatly enhanced the self-confidence of the Chinese people and also enhanced China's status in the world.

All Chinese people also believe that this is just a starting point. In the future, China's status will become higher and higher, its culture will become stronger and stronger, and its influence on the world will become greater and greater.

"I really haven't watched it." Liu Yifei didn't lie. "Besides, when senior brother comes over, everyone can watch it right away, so there is no need to ask me again."

Everyone is preparing to tease Liu Yifei again.

Of course, only senior Liu Yifei, such as Ge You, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Chen Long and others, have all worked with Liu Yifei.

I also have a special look at Liu Yifei. If she has strength, the key is to be favored by Director Lu.

At this point, Liu Yifei is destined to be the leading Chinese actress in the future.

"Director Lu!"

Suddenly someone shouted.

Everyone stopped chatting and stood up one by one.

Seniors in the Chinese film industry, including Ge You, all stood up to express their respect for Director Lu.

Since the opening ceremony, Lu Chen's status has reached its peak in the country, and he is respected and loved by all people in the country.

Lu Chen greeted each of them.

Accompanying Lu Chen were Doug from Universal Pictures, Fred from Warner Bros., Ren Zhonglun, chairman of Shanghai Film Group, and Liu Xing, head of Mercury special effects.

Liu Yifei stepped forward and followed Lu Chen, holding hands intimately.

"Director Lu, do you want to enter the cinema now?" Two middle-aged men came over, they were cinema managers, including the person in charge of Jupiter Cinemas.

Lu Chen nodded.

The group of people followed Lu Chen to Auditorium 1, the largest theater in the cinema.

There were already two staff members waiting in Theater No. 1, with 3D glasses on both sides.

The theater manager ran to the front, looked at everyone present, and demonstrated, "Wait a minute, everyone, take the 3D glasses and put them on when the movie starts. You need to wear 3D glasses to watch the whole movie. Otherwise, without glasses, the video effect will be bad." It’s greatly reduced, and the pictures will overlap, so everyone must wear glasses to watch.”

Ge You, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi and others are looking forward to it even more.

3D?

I know for sure.

3D videos are available in many amusement parks.

But most of them only last about 10 minutes, and they have great limitations on the picture, so they can't be used in movies at all.

As for 3D movies, I have heard of them, but I have never seen them. I heard that the viewing experience is particularly bad, and the movie does not have a few 3D shots, so 3D movies are not popular at all.

Of course, we also know that what limits 3D movies is 3D technology.

Could it be that there is a new breakthrough in 3D movie technology?
This also reminds everyone that in the past two years, Director Lu seemed to have flown back and forth to the island country many times and visited Sony's head office countless times, and Sony makes movie-level cameras, including 3D camera technology.

"Okay, everyone, let's enter." The theater manager personally came to Lu Chenliang with two pairs of 3D glasses.

Liu Yifei took it and helped her senior brother to hold it first. When the movie started, she helped her senior brother to put it on.

Others also received the 3D glasses in turn.

Doug from Universal Pictures and Fred from Warner Bros. looked at each other, and when it was time to watch, their hearts beat a little.

Really none of the 3D movies are famous, and none of them are successful.

Previous 3D movies cannot be considered true 3D movies.

However, Director Lu dares to play 3D movies, which is definitely different from others. Director Lu has already become famous. If he does not have confidence, he will never take the risk of trying new movie types. If he dares to take a gamble, he must have real skills.

Just the actual effect, what it will be like.

The two don't know.

I hope the movie can bring a deep shock like the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games a few days ago.

Because Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. have already secured director Lu Chen, they have upgraded their theater resources for theaters that do not support 3D playback.

This is a huge expense.

It will definitely take a 3D movie that shocks the world to earn back the cost of the upgrade.

Wait for everyone to enter.

The theater manager looked at Lu Chen and saw Lu Chen nodding, "Everyone can put on the 3D glasses, the movie will be played soon."

Liu Yifei took the glasses and put them on Lu Chen. Her movements were gentle and careful, just like a little daughter-in-law.

Everyone else also put on 3D glasses, and their faces were full of anticipation, just like they were waiting for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games a few days ago. (End of chapter)
