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

Chapter 302: The movie lost money to my grandma’s house
next day, morning

A ray of sunlight came in.

Master Liu opened his eyes, looked at the clothes scattered everywhere under the bed, and recalled the madness last night. A trace of blush appeared on his face, a little shy, but of course more happiness and satisfaction.

Judging from last night, Director Lu probably prefers himself in ancient costumes.

Director Lu was so excited last night that he let himself play several roles. It seems that he will wear more costumes in the future, especially when the two of them are alone.

"What time is it?" Lu Chen also woke up at this time.

"Director Lu, it's ten o'clock." Master Liu glanced at his phone and replied, "The crew is off today. You don't have to get up so early. You can sleep a little longer."

I want to spend the whole day with Director Lu, right here on this bed.

Not going anywhere, enjoying the world between two people.

"Get up." Lu Chen told Master Liu not to sleep either. He still had guests to meet today, otherwise he would definitely continue filming today. He had a day off because he, as a director, had no time.

Liu Shishi got up from bed and cleaned the battlefield last night. Director Lu said that he would meet guests here later and had to pack up the clothes that were randomly thrown on the ground last night.

……

"Director Lu, congratulations, your "The Wandering Earth" has now exceeded US$16 billion, and it continues to create miracles." Han Shanping walked in and congratulated enthusiastically.

Traveling with Han Shanping.

There is also Wu Dun, the boss of Baodao Film Capital and Changhong Film and Television.

Changhong Film and Television is also a well-known film company in Baodao. It has produced TV series such as "Oolong Breaks into Love", "Eternal Dragon Sword", "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan 3", and films such as "Tornado Boy", "Oolong Courtyard", "Kung Fu Dunk".

"Master, show Mr. Han and Mr. Wu tea." Lu Chen ordered.

"Hmm~" Master Liu made a pot of tea.

"Miss Liu Shishi, you are getting more and more beautiful." Han Shanping praised, which was also a show of goodwill to Lu Chen, otherwise Liu Shishi would not be able to reach Han Shanping.

As for "The Wandering Earth".

It has passed.

The film group still has to cooperate with Mars Film and Television.

Lu Chen has become a famous person above, so he needs to have good relations with him.

At present, Huaguo Film Group will also sell its theater chains.

In this transaction, Lu Chen secretly gave Han Shanping benefits as compensation for the previous transaction, including allowing Han Shanping to agree to sell the movie group's theater chains.

In one year's time, Jupiter Cinemas will become the largest cinema chain in the mainland and have the most abundant cinema resources.

"Thank you, Third Master, for your compliment." Master Liu poured the tea and sat down next to Lu Chen. At this time, he was Director Lu's girlfriend.

"Director Lu, it's about the movie "The Tomb"." Wu Dun, the old boss of Changhong Film and Television, talked about the business of this visit, "We want to invite Lin Zhiling from Mars Film and Television, and Guan Xiaotong. Their remuneration, They are 1000 million and 500 million respectively.”

The mainland film market is booming now.

Baodao Film Capital has always wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Let Baodao actors play roles in Mars Film and Television. This was what Baodao Film Capital had agreed with Director Lu during the Golden Horse Awards.

Mainland movies starring Baodao actors are all invested by Mars Film and Television.

This time I want to cooperate with both parties.

However, Director Lu did not let Mars Film and Television invest.

Originally, Wu Dun was thinking about cooperating with Mars Film and Television, but Director Lu said he didn't have enough funds, so he had to approach Huaguo Film Group.

Although Mars Film and Television does not participate in investment, it serves as the distributor of the film.

The movie "The Tomb" will also feature Martian artists.

Lin Zhiling and Guan Xiaotong.

The two people were paid 1000 million and 500 million respectively.

However, according to the current market price, 500 million is more than enough for two people.

As for giving such a high remuneration, the money was given to Mars Film and Television. It was regarded as a contribution from Baodao Film Capital to Mars Film and Television.

"Mr. Wu, I have to thank you for giving our Mars artist the opportunity to star." Lu Chen did not intend to invest.

It was them who wanted to film "The Tomb of Assassins".

在前一世《刺陵》制作成本高达4亿台币（约9000万），宝岛票房仅卖1386万元，内地也只卖了约6千万元人民币（约2.8亿台币）。

It’s a loss to my grandma’s house.

Back then, "The Tomb" was also criticized very badly. The two main actors in the movie, Jay Chou, were criticized for being cool. Of course, you can't blame Jay Chou, as he had not moved on from his previous film "Kung Fu Slam Dunk". , continue to be cool.

As for the other major star of the movie "The Tomb Raider", Lin Chi-ling, was criticized by the audience for being only gibberish.

Fainting is not a bonus in movies, but in other situations, it is a huge plus.

Of course, he would not invest in this "Chilling", which was bound to lose money. As a time traveler, Lu Chen would not travel to tiger mountains knowing that there are tigers in the mountains. That's not how money is made.

How good is the investment money in Baodao Film Company Changhong Film and Television.

Actors only earn a small amount of their salary.

The bulk of the profit comes from the film's special effects, and the special effects for "The Tomb" will be produced by Mercury Special Effects.

The filming location of the movie will be handled by Mars Film and Television, including the film crew, and the behind-the-scenes team of Mars Film and Television will occupy a large proportion.

Although the movie "Chilling" was invested by Baodao Film Company, the filming of the film will be in the mainland. If it were shot in Baodao, how would Mars Film and Television make such a profit.

As for "Chilling", it is an adventure film.

The background of the movie tells that in the vast desert, countless prosperous dynasties were born.

In this desert, there are an amazing number of treasures buried. These treasures sleep quietly under the yellow sand. No one can walk in here and open the door to the treasures, because there is a group of mysterious guardians here who have been here for generations. Guarding this boundless desert.

However, the quiet desert is about to usher in a violent sandstorm, because a treasure map of an ancient city that has been lost for thousands of years has attracted competition among heroes.

Originally, Changhong Film and Television wanted to film "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

Know that all copyrights of the novel are with Mars Film and Television here.

Of course Lu Chen would definitely refuse. How could he give this egg-laying rooster to others? The company would definitely have to take charge of the filming in the future.

Afterwards, Changhong Film and Television changed the script and changed it to "Chilling", which was different from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but it also had similarities.

"Director Lu, I'm serious. We have become famous in Film and Television. We still need a lot of care from Mars Film and Television in the mainland." Wu Dun said as he picked up the tea cup and wanted to drink tea instead of wine and give Lu Chen a drink.

You must not know that the money invested will be wasted on the mainland.

"You're welcome, we also use money to do things." Lu Chen clinked the cup.

"Mr. Wu, the mainland film market is booming right now. If we can gain a firm foothold, there will be a lot of money waiting for us to make in the future." Han Shan said in plain words.

However, in terms of investment in the movie "Chilling", only more than 1000 million was invested. This was also for the sake of Baodao filmmakers, otherwise no one would invest.

The main reason is that Director Lu is unwilling to invest.

If Mars Film and Television also invests, Han Shanping will definitely invest as much as he has an investment share.

Director Lu's unwillingness reminded Han Shanping of when Chen Kaige was filming "The Promise", which was the largest investment in mainland movies at the time. Director Lu was approached, but Director Lu was unwilling to invest.

Chen Kaige was Director Lu's senior brother, so he should have invested a share, but Director Lu said he had no money and couldn't invest.

Han Shanping didn't think too much at that time, he only remembered Chen Kaige's guarantee and ambition, but who knew that the movie ended up being a complete loss.

Now that Han Shanping is wiser, if Director Lu is not willing to invest, he must not invest more; if Director Lu is willing to invest, he must keep up with him.

"Director Lu, Third Master, as long as our Changhong Film and Television can make a small profit." Wu Dun has already imagined that the movies he invests in will sell well in the mainland and establish a firm foothold in the mainland film and television industry.

Nowadays, the mainland film and television industry is a huge golden mountain.

Who would have thought that "The Wandering Earth" had a box office of 15.8 billion in the Mainland, which is a terrifying number.Of course, it can be so successful because "The Wandering Earth" is so excellent and unique. No movie can compare with "The Wandering Earth". Even among Hollywood movies, there is currently no movie that can compare with "The Wandering Earth".

It’s unimaginable that “The Wandering Earth” had 15.8 billion, but Wu Dun only thought that “Chilling” would have a few hundred million in mainland China.

Now that the mainland film market is so hot, Changhong Film and Television just wants to enter the mainland market quickly, gain a foothold in advance, and make big money in the future.

Afterwards, Lu Chen chatted with Wu Dun, the boss of Baodao Film Company Changhong Film and Television, for a while and then sent him away.

Han Shan was so flat that he couldn't even walk together.

Master Liu was so confused that he thought he could enjoy the world between two people.

"Miss Liu Shishi, I have to disturb Director Lu for a while. You are welcome." Han Shanping said in a joking tone.

"Of course not, Third Master, you are a senior. I still have many questions and I want to ask you for advice." Master Liu quickly laughed and noticed that his expression was wrong just now.

"Director Lu is here, of course you need to ask Director Lu for advice." Han Shanping smiled and stopped talking about what happened just now, "Director Lu, do you think "The Tomb" invested by Changhong Film and Television can make money? "

"Mr. Han, the filming of this movie has not started yet. If I could know whether I could make money, why would I make a movie? It would be great to just speculate in stocks." Lu Chen also joked.

Lu Chen's attitude towards Baodao actors and Baodao Film Capital is different.

It can provide good resources to Baodao actors.

But Baodao Film Capital will not be allowed to grow in the mainland.

Otherwise, if the two cooperate, Baodao Film Capital, and Baodao actors, who knows what will be produced.

Actors from Taiwan have to rely on mainland film companies to survive in the mainland.

When Han Shanping heard Lu Chen's words, he thought, "You are not willing to invest. This movie "Chilling" has a high probability of losing money. Lu Chen is very ruthless. This is putting Baodao Film Capital into the mainland." bloodletting.

Mars Film and Television is definitely making a profit without losing money. Most of the money invested by Changhong Film and Television goes into the pockets of Mars Film and Television.

"Mr. Han, I would like to thank you for your willingness to sell the theater chain under the Huaguo Film Group." Lu Chen asked Liu Shishi to get a bottle of red wine and wanted to drink two glasses with Han Shanping.

Han Shanping was cheated last time.

It's not about Han Shanping, but he wants to seize the film group's theater resources.

Now Han Shanping is willing to sell part of the theater chain and is still a good friend.

In this world, there are only eternal interests and no eternal enemies.

"Director Lu, the film market is changing rapidly, and the film group has to change its strategy. Just like the Film Group, it has to sell some unstable industries." Han Shanping picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Lu Chen.

Anyway, Mars Film and Television will benefit you, so why not do it.

Now that Lu Chen is a famous figure above, there is no need to be an enemy of him.

We can no longer watch Shanghai Film Group cooperate with Mars Film and Television and grow bigger and bigger. Then the higher-ups will blame it and it will be unfavorable for us to manage Huaguo Film Group.

"Mr. Han, you still have a strategic vision." Lu Chen said and drank the wine in one gulp.

I am in a good mood.

The real giant entertainment empire is slowly taking shape.

……

The crew of the movie "Xiu Chun Knife"

"Director Lu, everyone is ready." Liu Shishi came over to remind Lu Chen who was looking at the documents.

Lu Chen handed the document in his hand to Liu Shishi. This document was a copy of the contract for the purchase of one of Huaguo Film Group's theater chains. This was the first batch of purchases.

Within one year, there will be a total of six batches of purchases, totaling a quarter of Huaguo Film Group’s theater chains.

Liu Shishi took the document and followed Lu Chen.

Although she is the heroine of the movie "Xiu Chun Knife" this time, she doesn't have many roles.

In the movie "Xiu Chun Knife", the main scenes are still concentrated on the "three brothers" in the movie.

This reminded Liu Shishi of "Partners in China" directed by Director Lu. Xiaoli was the heroine of the movie at that time, but the three male protagonists in the movie occupied an absolute share of the scene.

Liu Shishi fantasizes that it would be great if he could have a movie with an absolutely great heroine directed by Director Lu, just like Liu Yifei's "Young You".

When the time comes, I will also win the Best Actress award, no longer a four-star actress, but a 'Chen Girl'.

"Director Lu!" The actors and staff greeted Lu Chen respectfully when they saw him coming.

Lu Chen nodded one by one, sat on the director's chair, picked up the intercom, "Everyone, get ready, clear the venue."

"action!"

At a command, the camera started.

Today's filming was about the role of "Zhang Yan", the daughter of the medical clinic, played by Zhao Liying, her father, and her favorite role of "Jin Yichuan" played by Zhang Ruoyun.

Jin Yichuan and Shen Lian came to the medical center.

Zhang Yan's father treated Jin Yichuan.

'Zhang Yan', played by Zhao Liying, was mixing medicine and helping her father.

"Crack!"

Halfway through the filming, Lu Chen called for a pause.

Zhang Zhen, who plays Shen Lian, feels that this is definitely not his problem. In this scene, 'Shen Lian' is just a background board, standing in the yard.

"Xiao Li." Lu Chen came to Zhao Liying, "In the movie, your character likes Jin Yichuan, so you must have love in your eyes."

Unlike 'Zhou Miaotong' played by Liu Shishi, I didn't like 'Shen Lian' played by Zhang Zhen in the movie at all.

But the daughter of the medical clinic played by Zhao Liying really likes Jin Yichuan.

So the eyes must be loving.

This is also a film shooting technique. Many things are not explained with lines, but are expressed with the actors' body movements and changes in their eyes.

As long as the audience sees the medical girl played by Zhao Liying, with love in her eyes, she will know that she likes Jin Yichuan.

"Director Lu, I'm sorry, please try again." Zhao Liying adjusted her mood.

"Everyone go back to work and continue filming." Lu Chen filmed again, but Xiaoli's eyes were always a bit different. The love in her eyes was too deliberate, unreal, and too staged.

The audience cannot feel that "Zhang Yan" played by Zhao Liying likes the character "Jin Yichuan" in the movie.

Zhao Liying was anxious after being NGed several times, but she never made consecutive mistakes.

"Costume team, bring over Zhang Ruoyun's costume." Lu Chen had no choice but to act as Zhang Ruoyun's stand-in.

Let Zhao Liying look at herself.

The camera only shoots her own back, blurring her back, and mainly captures the changes in the eyes of the medical girl played by Zhao Liying.

So arranged.

It was also Lu Chen who knew that Xiaoli liked him. If he looked at him, there would be no need to act and his true feelings would be revealed.

A fine director.

You must understand how to let actors perform their roles better, explore their potential, and make them more immersed in their roles.

Sure enough, Lu Chen became Zhang Ruoyun's substitute.

The love in Zhao Liying's eyes is very strong, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance. Without being intentional at all, you can also zoom in and take a picture of Zhao Liying's big, water-filled eyes.

Wait until the shooting is finished.

After watching the playback, Lu Chen was very satisfied, expressed his approval, and continued shooting the next item.

The filming of "Xiu Chun Knife" must be completed before the Chinese New Year.
