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

Chapter 304: Reaching the top spot in global box office history
Meerkat Ancient, Hongshan Military Horse Farm

The last filming location of the movie "Xiu Chun Knife". At the end of the movie, 'Ding Xiu' and 'Shen Lian' chased 'Zhao Jingzhong' and fought with Hou Jin soldiers.

This scene requires a piece of grassland.

The crew came to Neimongu to shoot the last scene.

"Director Lu, when the movie is finished, will you go back to Peking or somewhere else?" Liu Shishi asked. Zhao Liying had already returned to Peiping, and all the actors who had finished filming had already left the crew.

Liu Shishi's role was also completed, but he did not return to Peking. Instead, he accompanied the crew to the Hongshan Army Horse Farm in Neimongou, mainly to take care of Director Lu's daily life.

I feel like this is more than a month.

Time flies so fast, the movie "Xiu Chun Dao" will be finished soon.

I really wish time would go slower so that I could spend more time with Director Lu.

"Go back to Peiping." Lu Chen replied absently, looking at the documents in his hand.

This is the company's investigation into all the circumstances of Zhang Chaoyang's ship.

They believe that Shiphu has great future development prospects. Company professionals give the opinion that Shiphu can hold shares.

As a future traveler, Lu Chen knew that Pianhu would not be able to develop in the future.

Whether a company can continue to develop depends on many reasons, and the personality of the founder also accounts for most of it.

In the early 20s, Chuanhu was an Internet giant, and the second horse around Zhang Chaoyang at that time was at the level of younger brothers.

However, Zhang Chaoyang was too playful and his work focus was not on the company, which caused Pianhu to fall behind in the Internet wave and be squeezed out of the first-tier Internet echelon.

Therefore, Shiphu is not worth long-term investment, and Lu Chen will have to reject the company's proposal even if he goes back.

"Director Lu, everything is ready." The assistant director came over to report.

Lu Chen handed the documents to Liu Shishi, got up and came to the shooting site, which was a prairie.

"Director Lu, these are the extras we found." The assistant director waved. The extras were found locally. If they are actors from the mainland, they don't look like Hou Jin's soldiers.

It has to be played by a native Meerkats.

Of course, there is another important reason. The ancient locals of Nei Meerka are quite skilled in horse riding skills.

The scene on the grassland requires a battle on horseback. If you are not a professional, it is really impossible to do it. It will also be dangerous. If you fall off the horse, something serious may happen.

So this requires a group of professionals who specialize in horseback riding.

"Director Lu!" This group of Meerkat Ancient locals were all very excited.

In front of us is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and the famous director Lu Chen, the chief director of "The Wandering Earth", a hero in everyone's eyes.

But with Chinese-language movies, they are killing all over the world, which has greatly improved the confidence of the Chinese overseas.

"Director Lu, do you have anything else to give me?" the assistant director asked.

"Let's shoot." Lu Chen only made a few comments about this scene. It mainly depends on the performance of the action director and does not have high requirements for the actors' acting skills.

But for martial arts action, the requirements are very high.

"Okay, Director Lu." The assistant director made preparations.

The camera has been set up on the back of the pickup truck to film the charging scene on horseback. During the filming, the pickup truck started to film the fast running horses.

The camera and the charging horse always maintain a parallel line. This kind of shot will give the audience a better visual experience.

After all the work was arranged, Lu Chen returned to the rest area, leaned back on the chair, and was lazy. The order was issued, and the execution was left to the people below. Anyway, in this scene, it depends on the performance of the martial arts director.

"Director Lu." Liu Shishi came to Lu Chen, holding a newspaper in his hand, "The global box office of "The Wandering Earth" has reached more than 18 billion US dollars, and will soon surpass "Titanic"."

Now, not only domestic newspapers related to movies and entertainment, but also some major newspapers are reporting on the daily global box office of "The Wandering Earth".

Now "The Wandering Earth" is charging towards the historical box office championship in the global film industry.

Domestic people and overseas Chinese are extremely excited. They all feel that "The Wandering Earth" should not be released in the mainland so early. If it is postponed for a few more months, everyone will go to the cinema to support it.

Contribute another movie box office to "The Wandering Earth" and increase the global box office of "The Wandering Earth".

Overseas Chinese are able to support "The Wandering Earth". Now "The Wandering Earth" is still being released overseas, including in the United States. However, the film schedule is not as scary as before, and box office growth has also slowed down.

Lu Chen took the newspaper from Liu Shishi's hand and read it.

If "The Wandering Earth" can surpass "Titanic" at the global box office a year ago, it will be of great help to his new film "Manslaughter", which will be released during the Spring Festival.

"Director Lu, you are going to become the world's box office champion film director." When Liu Shishi said this, he looked at Lu Chen with admiration and admiration.

"The Wandering Earth" is a film without a Hollywood company involved in the production, and the leading actors are all Chinese actors.

Non-European and American film ranks first in global box office history.

What an inspiring miracle.

Even if it is a non-European and American film, it is an incredible thing to win the first place in the world or enter the top ten in global history.

And now Lu Chen's "The Wandering Earth" is about to win the first place in history.

As long as "The Wandering Earth" continues to be released overseas, it is only a matter of time before it surpasses "Titanic".

This is Director Lu's box office appeal and the charm of 3D movies.

"Master, you see you are more excited than me." Lu Chen was also in a good mood.

I really didn't expect that the box office of "The Wandering Earth" greatly exceeded my expectations.

Previously, Lu Chen thought that "The Wandering Earth" could surpass the record of his directing career and surpass "The Dark Knight" at the global box office. It would be quite good to have a US$12 billion.

Reaching 12 billion U.S. dollars, it has already made a lot of money at the box office.

You won’t lose money when it comes to sharing the movie’s box office share.

This is a global movie, with profit points and overseas DVD and other copyright income. This is a considerable amount of income.

Unlike China, where piracy is rampant, overseas copyright awareness is still quite strong.

But now I didn't expect that the global box office of "The Wandering Earth" is about to exceed 19 billion US dollars. Mars Film and Television can earn at least 7 million US dollars by sharing the box office of the movie.

Overseas revenue sharing is different from domestic revenue sharing.

For domestic film producers, the share ratio is fixed, ranging from about 30.00% to 40.00%.

Of course, in the domestic movie box office, apart from the fixed taxes and special funds for movies, everything actually goes into Lu Chen's pocket. It is Mars Film and Television and Jupiter Cinemas that share most of the box office revenue.

However, the profits of the two companies are calculated separately. Jupiter Cinemas and Mars Film and Television are definitely not the same company, and there is no superior-subordinate relationship. Lu Chen does not bring the companies he controls together to prepare for future antitrust.

They are all independent companies, including Saturn Video and Mercury Special Effects.

The box office share of overseas movies is different from that in China.

The largest North American film market has a descending ladder model.

During the opening week, movie companies usually take 70%-80% of the total box office, with the highest not exceeding 85%. At this time, theaters mainly make money by selling soda and snacks.

In the second week, the studio ratio usually drops to 60%-70%.In the third week, it usually drops to 45%-60%.

After the fourth week, it usually drops to 25%-45%, and after that, film companies basically take no less than 25%.

"The Wandering Earth" can achieve such good box office results because all the favorable conditions have come together.

Before the movie was released, Lu Chen directed the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the world's first live broadcast event with over one billion viewers.

The cast of "The Wandering Earth" is the same as the hit "Kung Fu Panda" two years ago. Although the starring cast is Chinese actors, there are also Hollywood movie stars.

Robert Downey Jr., who became the most popular with "Iron Man" last year, has many scenes in "The Wandering Earth", and there are guest appearances by blockbuster Hollywood movie stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio.

This cast is quite luxurious in the world.

It is also the first true 3D movie in the world. The first person to eat crabs can really eat it. Remember that in the previous life, "Avatar" made 27 billion US dollars worldwide.

Before "The Wandering Earth", Lu Chen directed a number of global blockbuster movies and already has the support of a group of loyal movie fans around the world.

Including the huge help from Universal Pictures and Warner Bros., the film's overseas distributor, the film was promoted overwhelmingly.

All the conditions came together to make "The Wandering Earth" a miracle. Of course, the most important point is that the film quality is excellent. As long as the scenes can be made into 3D shots, 3D shots have been made, which can make the audience hooked in the cinema.

This time "The Wandering Earth" is about to break the record of "Titanic", and there is another important reason.

Movie ticket prices have increased compared to the "Titanic" era, especially the ticket price for "The Wandering Earth". Because it is a 3D movie, the ticket price is almost double the ticket price of "Titanic" at the time.

Therefore, "Titanic" still ranks first in the number of movie viewings. I am afraid that no one can beat "Titanic" in the number of movie viewings.

"Director Lu, if "The Wandering Earth" breaks the record, you will become No. 1 in the film industry in the future." Could Liu Shishi not be excited?

Just ask the entire Chinese-language film industry and the Asian film industry.

Who has this honor?

Apart from Director Lu, who else can make films outside of Hollywood so popular in the global film market?

"Master, we haven't broken the record of "Titanic" yet, and we're still a little short of it." Lu Chen said as he got up and came to the filming site. This scene will be filmed today and the movie will be finished. It's time to go back to Peking to prepare for other things. Already working.

……

Peking Hotel

A red carpet has been rolled out at the entrance of the hotel, and above the hotel are two giant movie posters of "The Wandering Earth" and "Manslaughter".

Lu Chen will bring the creative team of "The Wandering Earth", including the creative team of "Manslaughter", to the Peking Hotel. First, to celebrate the global box office of "The Wandering Earth" exceeding US$19 billion and becoming the historical box office champion in the global film industry.

The second is to promote "Manslaughter", which will be released during the Spring Festival.

Domestic and foreign reporters had already set up cameras on both sides of the red carpet, waiting for the arrival of the landing guide.

The box office of "The Wandering Earth" exceeded US$19 billion, surpassing the record held by "Titanic" and becoming the new world movie box office champion.

For the first time, a non-European and American film won the championship. The entire Asian film industry went crazy, especially Asian film lovers. They chanted the slogan "Long live Director Lu" on the Internet and regarded Lu Chen as a god. .

This is the first time that Chinese-language films and Asian films have such a shining moment in the world.

"After I saw "The Wandering Earth" in the cinema for the first time, I knew that "The Wandering Earth" would definitely break the historical record." At this time, many fans and movie lovers came to the door of the hotel.

When a college student said this, his eyes were full of admiration, "That unparalleled picture cannot be given by any movie. This is a 3D movie, and this is Director Lu."

The sensation "The Wandering Earth" caused in China at that time is still fresh in my memory. The movie tickets for the IMAX theater of "The Wandering Earth" were comparable to the Spring Festival travel rush. People queued up all night to buy tickets just to feel the immersive feeling in the movie. Visual experience.

"19 billion U.S. dollars, how much does that cost?" People in Peking next to them lamented, "If this were converted into our money, that would be 167 billion! 167 billion! This can cost any private film company in our country It’s more than enough to buy it.”

"You should say, except Mars Film and Television." The person next to him took over.

Everyone reacted and laughed one by one.

Now Mars Film and Television is indeed a giant film and television production group.

"The Wandering Earth" is invested and produced by Mars Film and Television. In the past two years, Mars Film and Television has produced a high-quality film that has greatly enriched everyone's spiritual entertainment.

Director Lu and Mars Film and Television have brought Chinese film and television to a new level, top in Asia and first-class in the world.

"The Wandering Earth", produced by all the resources of Mars Film and Television, surpassed all European and American movies and became the best in the world!

"This is the director we should love." A movie lover said with respect in his eyes, "Director Lu is different from other well-known directors. He cannot extricate himself from art films. He only cares about his own likes and ignores the pursuit of the audience. , as the great people said, these directors who love to play with art are divorced from the masses."

"When it comes to art films, Director Lu is also the best in the world." A man next to him took over, his tone full of excitement, "Director Lu is the youngest winner in the history of the Golden Bear Award and the Palme d'Or, and the youngest winner of the three major Chinese film festivals. A great director, "Young You" legislated school bullying. This is the kind of artistic film we need."

This statement was recognized by many people.

"We should be grateful that Director Lu is in the Chinese film industry, so we have such rich spiritual food." Passerby A said, taking out a promotional poster, which was the poster for the movie "Manslaughter", "Everyone is still immersed in "The Wandering Earth" "Amidst the success of "Director Lu, another new movie has been released, and you can feast your eyes again."

The trailer of the movie "Manslaughter" has been released on Saturn Video.

The trailer was well received by the audience. After all, this is Director Lu's film, and this is a guarantee of quality.

Take a look at the four trailers released.

It also arouses the curiosity of the audience.

The background of the movie should not be in China, but in the Southeast Asian country.

As a local Chinese film, it is really rare for a film to be set in a country other than China.

As can be seen from the trailer, this is a crime movie.

It involves new themes again.

Director Lu was involved in the spy war genre for the first time when he directed "The Wind", which received rave reviews and was rated by the audience as one of the best spy war movies.

Fans of the spy genre were even more hooked. When the movie was released, they watched it three or four times.

Now the audience has extremely high expectations for Director Lu's new themes.

When people around saw someone taking out the "Manslaughter" poster, they all came over and exclaimed, "This is Director Lu, the leader of the sixth generation of directors. If the fifth generation of directors can achieve Director Lu's achievements, No one is allowed to rest directly, how can he be so diligent? He is probably participating in activities everywhere and accepting everyone's admiration."

"This is called not forgetting the original intention. This is also the reason why I am a fan of Director Lu. I only love movies." The eyes of the loyal fans next to me are full of arrogance. Having an idol like Director Lu is indeed something to be proud of.

at this time.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

There was a convoy driving slowly ahead, with more than 20 vehicles.

Sitting in the car were the creative teams of the films "The Wandering Earth" and "Manslaughter".

Top Chinese movie stars such as Chen Long, Zhang Ziyi, Ge You, Jet Li from "The Wandering Earth", as well as foreign international movie stars such as Robert Downey Jr. and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Then the convoy stopped.

The flashing light flashed crazily.

The audience next to him felt like someone had thrown a flash bomb in front of them, and they couldn't see Director Lu getting out of the car clearly. The fans and movie lovers who came over were yelling at each other.

These reporters only focused on taking good photos and completely ignored everyone's wish to come here early in the morning just to meet Director Lu.
