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

Chapter 297: Movies break out of Asia and go global!
"Auntie, what's going on in the company?" Lu Chen asked. Recently, he really didn't have time to get involved in the company's affairs, mainly because he was busy.

In the past few months, I have been busy working on the Olympics and the post-production of "The Wandering Earth".

But now that both of these things have come to a successful conclusion, there is plenty of time.

Liu Ruyu glanced at Liu Shishi and returned to the master bedroom of the hotel suite. She probably couldn't hear the conversation in the living room outside, "In a few days, you will go abroad to prepare for the global promotion of "The Wandering Earth". Are you going to With Yifei, you are still a teacher."

"Aunt, I must be bringing the main creative team of "The Wandering Earth"." Looking at his aunt's expression, Lu Chen probably thought that he would take Liu Shishi with him, "Aunt, Shishi and I have only been together for the past two days. We are about to leave. , I must have brought Yifei there."

Work is work.

Life is life and can be divided.

Before going to the United States, Master Liu must be properly trained.

Let her be better, playing the role of 'Zhou Miaotong' of Jiaofangsi in "Xiu Chun Dao".

If you want to play this role well, you must have a wealth of classics.

The temperament must be in place. Now Master Liu's temperament is completely different from Miss Jiaofang Si. Try to save some time in these few days to make up for Master Liu's shortcomings in this aspect.

"That night, I told Yifei to prevent her from worrying all the time if you don't take her with you." Liu Ruyu thought that Xiaochen was with Shishi and would take Shishi to the United States. "And when we go abroad, Please pay attention, especially in some unstable areas, you must pay more attention to safety, and safety is the first criterion in everything."

On the American side, Liu Ruyu was not too worried. Xiaochen had connections on the American side and was on good terms with several Hollywood film companies.

But in other areas, it’s hard to say.

This time Xiaochen is going abroad, not only to the United States, but to nearly twenty regions around the world to promote the movie "The Wandering Earth".

From here, Liu Ruyu can also see how much Xiaochen attaches importance to "The Wandering Earth", and hopes that Xiaochen's new work can create new history.

"Auntie, Uncle Mo is following me, so you and dad should keep it in mind." Lu Chen was probably worried after hearing what his aunt said. He went abroad, let himself go, and found foreign girls, regardless of safety.

"Remember to pay attention to yourself." Liu Ruyu stood up, "I will leave first without disturbing you. Do you want to go home for dinner tonight?"

"No." Lu Chen had to stay and train Master Liu well so that she could better play her new movie role.

"Okay, if you go home for dinner, let me know in advance." Liu Ruyu stood up and didn't say much. It was normal for this young minister to be nostalgic after he had just been with his master.

Just don't miss it all the time.

In Liu Ruyu's heart, she still hopes that Yifei will become the daughter-in-law of the Lu family.

After Lu Chen saw his aunt off, he came to the hotel TV, squatted down and rummaged through the cabinet for discs. There were some things that he couldn't describe, but there were videos to teach Mr. Liu better.

December 2008, 10

Peking, International Airport

Lu Chen showed up at the airport with the starring team of "The Wandering Earth" Liu Yifei, Zhang Ruoyun, Chen Long, Jet Li, Zhang Ziyi and others, preparing to take a private plane to Hollywood, America.

Preparing for the North American premiere of "The Wandering Earth".

Many people from the Chinese film industry came to the airport today, including fans and movie lovers outside the airport who came to see her off.

"Director Lu!" Zhang Yingmou came over and shook hands with Lu Chen, "Congratulations to "The Wandering Earth", which has been in theaters for four days. The box office has reached nearly [-] million. This has set a record in the Chinese film industry and is a myth in the mainland film industry."

Zhang Yingmou's current highest-grossing movie in the Mainland is "The City of Gold", which is only around 3 million.

And "The Wandering Earth" only took three days to surpass the total box office of "The City of Gold" in the mainland.

Of course Zhang Yingmou is proud, because this time, the main battlefield of "The Wandering Earth" is not domestic, but the global film market.

"The Wandering Earth" is definitely the top level of Chinese-language films and represents the entire Chinese-language film industry.

That's why today, countless filmmakers came to see Lu Chen off, including fans and Chinese film lovers who came spontaneously.

You must know that everything in "The Wandering Earth" was completed domestically, and the starring team, except for Robert Downey Jr., is all Chinese actors.

"The Wandering Earth" is a pure Chinese movie.

It is also deeply loved by audiences in the Chinese film area.

The current four-day box office data of the movie in the Mainland is 1.35 million, 1.32 million, 1.14 million, and 1.23 million.

The first mainland movie to hit over [-] million for four consecutive days.

The previous film that exceeded [-] million for three consecutive days was "Changjin Lake".

"The Wandering Earth" broke the record of "Changjin Lake" and will soon become the second mainland movie to exceed 10 billion.

Nowadays, many people on major forums are saying that watching "The Wandering Earth" is to buy a ticket for the opening and closing ceremonies directed by Director Lu.

Director Lu contributed to everyone the most exciting opening ceremony since the Olympic Games began. Everyone should support Director Lu's new work "The Wandering Earth".

What's more, "The Wandering Earth" is the world's first 3D movie and a time-defining movie in the global film industry. It is definitely worth watching in the cinema.

The history of global 3D movies will begin in China because of "The Wandering Earth".

As a Chinese, can we not be proud?

Especially movie-loving audiences, on international websites, can proudly say that "The Wandering Earth" was written by Director Lu and is a Chinese-language film.

"Director Zhang, the fact that "The Wandering Earth" has such good results is because of everyone's favor and because of the glory of the Olympic Games." Lu Chen looked at the group of people in front of him, all of whom were celebrities in the Chinese film industry.

Feeling a little moved.

With so many people coming to see me off, I feel that it was right to shoot "The Wandering Earth" even though I was trying to sell everything.

When I first came up with the idea of ​​filming "The Wandering Earth", I didn't start filming immediately. I had to prepare a lot of things in advance. In order to cultivate the special effects of Mercury, I filmed several special effects blockbusters.

In order to learn more about Mercury special effects in the United States, as the boss, Lu Chen worked for others and made movies for others.

Of course it's all worth it now.

"Director Lu, now North America is looking forward to "The Wandering Earth"." Chen Kaige came forward and was extremely excited when he spoke.

Ru Ru also participated in the production of "The Wandering Earth", "This time, I am afraid that "The Wandering Earth" will completely dominate the global film market, and let Hollywood see the top level of our Chinese-language films."

Chen Kaige also watched "The Wandering Earth" for the first time.

As a well-known director.

Was deeply shocked.

I really don’t know how this special effect was created.

And it’s made of Mercury special effects.

At the time, I thought it was the world's top special effects company.

But now Mercury Special Effects is considered a world-class special effects company, especially with the release of "The Wandering Earth".

Mercury Special Effects truly became famous with "The Wandering Earth", and the name "Mercury Special Effects" has been known to the whole world.

"Director Chen, thank you for your blessing." Lu Chen also looked at the others and thanked, "Thank you all for taking the time to see me off despite your busy schedule."

"Director Lu, it's not just us, there are also your fans, Chinese movie lovers, and the people of Peiping." At this time, Ge You took over and joked, "Director Lu, so many people are sending gifts to you, I don't know what else to do. I thought you were going to save the world."

This remark also made everyone present laugh.

"Director Lu, I am going abroad this time. If you need my help with anything, just ask, I have some connections abroad." Zhang Yingmou was unable to help while filming "The Wandering Earth" in Luchen, but he hopes to make a film elsewhere. Partial force.

This time, "The Wandering Earth" is different from any other movie. It will be a representative work for Chinese-language movies to break out of Asia and go global.

"Director Zhang, thank you very much." Lu Chen was quite touched. Everyone wanted to benefit Chinese-language films and wanted Chinese-language films to break out of Asia and go global.

Others also said that if you need anything, just ask.

Everyone present in the Chinese film industry wants "The Wandering Earth" to achieve excellent results overseas.

And with the current level of expectations from overseas audiences for "The Wandering Earth", the global box office will definitely explode.

There is also director Lu Chen, a global star.

There is also a luxurious lineup.

Although the starring roles are Chinese movie stars, Chen Long, Jet Li, Zhang Ziyi, including guest stars Ge You, Gong Li, Zhou Runfa, and Zhang Manyu, all have quite high reputations internationally.

There is also a guest appearance by Leonardo, the top international actor.

Including Robert Downey Jr., who plays an important supporting role in the movie

Robert Downey Jr. starred in "Iron Man" directed by Director Lu last year, and instantly became the most popular actor in the world, becoming the "Iron Man" in front of the public.

Therefore, the cast of "The Wandering Earth" is quite strong.

In addition, "The Wandering Earth" is the world's first true 3D movie. As long as the audience sees the unprecedented movie scenes, they will be deeply shocked.

Therefore, everyone believes that "The Wandering Earth" will achieve good results when it goes abroad.

Maybe it will break Lu Chen’s career record as a director.

Currently, the highest-grossing movie directed by Lu Chen is "The Dark Knight", with a global box office of more than 11 billion US dollars.

If exceeded.

All of Asia must be excited.You must know that in Asian movies, there has never been a movie that has exceeded one billion US dollars.

Even global movies, Hollywood movies.

There are only nine single films that have exceeded one billion US dollars, and none have exceeded ten.

If a Chinese movie, an Asian movie, breaks one billion US dollars, what a myth it is!

"It's getting late, Director Lu, it's time to leave." At this time, the airport staff came over to remind him, his expression also showed excitement. In front of him was Director Lu, the director of the Olympic Games opening ceremony and "The Wandering Earth", a truly popular figure in the world.

"Seniors, I have to board the plane. Thank you for coming to see me off." Lu Chen once again thanked everyone for coming to see me off. Everyone has high hopes for "The Wandering Earth".

So this time when I go abroad, I must come back with glory and not let anyone down.

"Director Lu, we are waiting for your triumphant return from China and the good news about "The Wandering Earth" overseas." Everyone said goodbye to Lu Chen and sent their best wishes.

Everyone hopes that "The Wandering Earth" will create a new history and usher in an era of prosperity for Chinese-language films.

Lu Chen waved goodbye to everyone and followed the airport staff. He must not board the plane immediately. Before leaving the country, he had to meet with the leaders of the film-related departments, including the people above.

This time, the above also attaches great importance to "The Wandering Earth".

The Olympic Games in Peking have just shocked the whole world.

Immediately in the film industry, a movie was released that could shock the world again.

The people above are quite satisfied, which means that China's influence in the world is growing.

In "The Wandering Earth", there are many shots about the Olympic Games, including the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, including some Beiping Olympic Games titles on the streets of Beiping.

So the people above prefer "The Wandering Earth".

Let’s see if there is anything I can do to help. I also hope that when “The Wandering Earth” goes abroad, it can create good results and achieve results that can shock the world. Now China needs too much attention to attract more foreign capital investment.

……

America, a villa in Hollywood
A motorcade drove into the villa.

Lu Chen took the starring team of "The Wandering Earth" to the resting place after attending the movie promotion dinner.

Lao Mo was the first to get out of the car and observed the environment of the villa. However, because it was already night, he could not see clearly the surrounding environment. The villa was located on a mountain.

Only the villa is brightly lit, with only street lights around. The villas next door are far away, making it extremely private.

"Brother, slow down." Liu Yifei got off the car first and stepped forward to help Lu Chen who was getting off the car.

At the movie promotion dinner just now, many Hollywood film company executives, as well as well-known European and American directors and movie stars came. Senior Brother drank too much tonight.

"I'm fine." Lu Chen still remained awake.

"Director Lu, you are staying here these days. If you have any requests, please don't be polite." Doug from Universal Pictures specially arranged accommodation for Director Lu and his party.

Director Lu brought a lot of people this time.

It's definitely not good to stay in a hotel again.

Arrange a large villa directly.

Of course, many film companies wanted to arrange accommodation for Lu Chen, and Doug from Universal Pictures finally secured this opportunity.

"Mr. Doug, thank you very much this time." Lu Chen looked at the large villa in front of him, still very satisfied.

"Director Lu, you are too polite. This is what I should do." Doug clapped his hands, and sixteen European and American men and women came over, "Director Lu, this is the person our Universal Pictures hired for you to take care of your life. Daily life.”

Introducing everyone's name, this is an excellent villa service team.

"Director Lu!" they all called each other.

There is admiration in their eyes, and they want to sign autographs and take photos, but as a professional service team, they must have professional ethics. As for the news that Director Lu lives here, they must not be disclosed to the outside world.

Director Lu is definitely the most popular person in Europe and America right now.

the first two months.

In that Olympic opening ceremony that shocked the world, people all over the world were shocked by Director Lu's talent.

Now "The Wandering Earth" will be released in theaters in North America.

Fame rises to another level.

Because North America is not the first region where "The Wandering Earth" will be released.

European and American audiences who have already watched "The Wandering Earth" in mainland China and Xiangjiang, China, were overwhelmed by the movie scenes.

Speaking of the movie "The Wandering Earth", it is definitely a movie that changes the movie landscape. Its movie scenes are one of the best in the world and an unprecedented video feast.

This has made European and American audiences look forward to "The Wandering Earth". The movie tickets for "The Wandering Earth" in IMAX theaters in Europe and the United States have been rising all the way.

Because people who have watched it are saying that "The Wandering Earth" must be watched in an IMAX theater to [-]% experience the shock of the movie and its unparalleled visual impact.

"I'll trouble you all next." Lu Chen greeted more than a dozen service teams.

"Director Lu, you guys go to bed early. I'm going back first. If you need anything, call me and I'll be on 24 hours a day." Universal Pictures' Doug is also something Lu Chen doesn't need, otherwise he would have knelt down to serve Director Lu.

I just want to please Director Lu.

This time Universal Pictures is responsible for the global distribution of "The Wandering Earth".

It will definitely once again build the reputation of Universal Pictures and increase the company's stock price. Doug has already seen that the position of President of Universal Pictures is beckoning to him.

"Everyone, let's go in and have a rest." Lu Chen and his party came to the villa lobby.

The villa service team has divided everyone's rooms into different rooms. As for Lu Chen, it must be the largest room.

"I think we need to drink a little more. We still didn't have enough fun at the movie promotion banquet." Chen Long suggested, "We just arrived at the residence. It's okay to get drunk. You can just go back to your room and rest. "

This suggestion was immediately approved by Li Lianjie, Zhang Ziyi and others, and director Lu Chen was also invited to join the project.

"Everyone is so interested, so I have to sacrifice my life to accompany you." Lu Chen asked the villa service staff to bring the wine.

Wait for the wine to arrive.

Chen Long picked up a glass of wine and his eyes instantly became very serious, "Director Lu, I want to toast you."

"Brother Long, don't look so serious. It will easily ruin the drinking atmosphere." Lu Chen said in a joking tone.

Chen Long still had a serious face, "Director Lu, you are talented. You can't see the unfairness in Hollywood, the discrimination against Chinese filmmakers in Hollywood, or the Chinese actors who want to be famous in Hollywood. The suffering..."

As he spoke, his eyes became misty.

Chen Long had to go to Hollywood three times in his life before he succeeded.

Only Chen Long himself knows the ups and downs here.

And today.

For the first time, Chen Long felt the favor and warmth of Hollywood.

At today's promotional dinner for the movie "The Wandering Earth", many people from the European and American film industry came. Most of them are heads of world-class film companies, world-renowned directors, and top European and American movie stars.

These people, at the dinner party of the promotional meeting, all showed their kindness and had a great attitude.

This was almost impossible before.

Of course I know that this is Director Lu’s credit. It was Director Lu who directed “The Wandering Earth” that earned everyone the highest respect from Hollywood, the world’s film center.

Li Lianjie, Zhang Ziyi and others said they wanted to toast Director Lu's wine, and they had some resonance with Chen Longdao.

We all know the difficulties for Chinese actors in Hollywood.

In the Chinese film industry, only director Lu Chen has never tried this.

First, Director Lu is talented, and second, Director Lu is also a film capital.

In addition, Director Lu's first global film was extremely successful. The global box office of "Inception" exceeded 10 billion at that time, and it also entered the top five in global film history at that time.

He became a world-class commercial director in an instant, and then became successful every time. Now he is the top director in the world.

Lu Chen listened to everyone's words, filled up the wine, and clinked glasses with everyone one by one, "When "The Wandering Earth" is released globally, I believe that Chinese actors will be treated better around the world, because everything is developing in a good direction. .”

"With Director Lu here, I believe that all Chinese film practitioners believe that our Chinese films will become better." Everyone present said this with confidence.

Director Lu's talent and far-sightedness are unparalleled in the global film industry.

I believe that if Director Lu is given more time, the global film landscape will be very different in the future.

"It's not just me, but everyone. How can I not enjoy the movie alone?" Lu Chen said and invited everyone to have another drink, with the same attitude as everyone else, never return until you get drunk.

Liu Yifei didn't drink. Looking at the situation today, the senior brother will definitely be drunk, so he must take care of the senior brother and take good care of him so that he can explain to Aunt Liu when he returns.

I feel proud of my senior brother in my heart. At the dinner just last night, the Hollywood filmmakers were all showing favor to my senior brother and the Chinese actors brought by Director Lu.

I feel that the status of Chinese-speaking filmmakers in the world film industry has been raised to a higher level.
