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

"Director Lu, congratulations." Directors from the northwest region headed by Zhang Yingmou came to Lu Chen to congratulate him.

"Xiu Chun Knife" was released to great response.

The attention of Ming Dynasty film and television dramas has doubled.

Mars Film and Television even announced the production of a Ming Dynasty TV series here, which will be released on Mango Channel at the end of the year.

Costume drama.

It has always been the world of pigtail drama.

The release of "Xiu Chun Knife" has directly boosted the popularity of Ming Dynasty dramas, and is expected to rival dramas with braided hair. This is Director Lu's influence in the mainland and a weathervane in the mainland film and television industry.

"Director Zhang, has your film "Three Guns Surprising" been completed?" Lu Chen asked.

"We just finished filming for three days, and we happened to catch up with your celebration party, Director Lu." Zhang Yingmou said in a joking tone, "Director Lu, my new movie will be released in December, so your Jupiter theater chain can arrange more movies."

I also hope that Lu Chen’s movie will not be released in December.

I know that Director Lu has made a movie in the country, and it is now finished and entering post-production, so I have to avoid Director Lu.

No director in the mainland dares to compete with director Lu's work. This is no different from seeking death, and the film company behind it will not allow it.

As long as director Lu's movie is released, as long as it is a big-budget movie, you have to avoid it, otherwise you will be used as cannon fodder.

Of course, it is a small and medium-cost production, and it will be released together at the conference to attract a wave of traffic. After all, Director Lu's movie is released in theaters, and there are a lot of viewers in the theater, and they can also drink some soup.

"Director Zhang, that's easy to say." Lu Chen agreed.

I also hope that Director Zhang’s film will achieve more box office success, so that Jupiter Cinemas can get a bigger share.

"Director Lu, have you heard that Cameron has shot a 3D movie, which will be released in North America and Europe in December." Zhang Yingmou started chatting.

This can also be regarded as the second 3D movie in the global film industry.

The global box office of "The Wandering Earth" exceeded US$20 billion and became a global hit, making moviegoers fall in love with 3D movies.

The video impact brought by 3D movies cannot be experienced on any playback device except the big screen. This will also make more viewers willing to enter the cinema.

Let the world's leading film companies start planning to produce 3D movies.

"I heard about it." Lu Chen is also waiting for "Avatar". The 3D theaters under the Jupiter Cinema Line need more revenue from the release of 3D movies.

""The Wandering Earth" has surpassed the record of "Titanic". Director Cameron wants to regain the first place." Zhang Yingmou joked, "Director Lu, you are under pressure, the global audience is also waiting Watching your new 3D movie."

"Director Lu, I heard that you are filming the sequel to "Transformers" and the movie will be made into a 3D movie?" At this time, Chen Kaige also came over to chat. Seeing that 3D movies are so popular around the world, he also wanted to give it a try.

After all, "The Wandering Earth" came out.

Audiences have experienced the visual impact of 3D movies and are more willing to spend money to support 3D movies.

"Yes." Lu Chen didn't hide it either.

Now the news is flying all over the world.

The sequel to "Transformers" has been launched, and movie fans all over the world already know it.

Mainly because "Transformers" involves too much.

Unlike Lu Chen's previous filming of "Detective Chinatown" in China, which had only one investor from Mars Film and Television, "Transformers" had three investors.

The production cost is US$1.35 million.

Among them, Mars Film and Television invested US$8000 million, Universal Pictures invested US$4000 million, and the remaining US$2000 million was invested by DreamWorks Live Action Film Studio.

The publicity cost is nearly 1 million U.S. dollars, and the total cost is already over 2 million U.S. dollars.

It can be regarded as a global large-scale commercial film.

Promotional activities also started early to let the global audience know that filming of "Transformers 2" is about to begin.

Therefore, Universal Pictures has announced in Hollywood that the filming of the sequel to "Transformers" has begun, and it will continue to be directed by director Lu Chen. "Transformers" fans around the world could not be happier.

There is also a sequel to "Kung Fu Panda", which will also be made into a 3D animated film.

"Director Lu, if I have time, I have to learn 3D film shooting from you." Chen Kaige really wants to learn. Now among Chinese directors, only Lu Chen knows how to shoot 3D films.

Director Lu Chen is also the director of the world's first 3D movie "The Wandering Earth", and can be regarded as the true originator of 3D movies.

"That's no problem. Besides, if I have time, I would also like to learn the skills of making movies from Director Chen, Director Zhang, and you seniors." Lu Chen has always respected the fifth generation of mainland directors.

"Director Lu, you are so humble. Now we are learning from you. You have already left us behind." Zhang Yingmou also said it sincerely.

When it comes to making movies, Lu Chen is undoubtedly the No. 1 director in Mainland China, and he is also launching a charge to become the world's No. 1 director. With "The Wandering Earth", Lu Chen can be said to have stepped into the No. [-] active director in the world in half a step. .

"Director Lu, congratulations." At this time, Ge You, Gong Li and other Chinese movie stars came over.

Today is the celebration party for "Xiu Chun Knife" and "The Wandering Earth".

Filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places were present.

Director Lu’s face must be given.

Now Mars Film and Television is the largest Chinese film company, Jupiter Cinema is the largest theater chain, and Mercury Special Effects is the top Chinese special effects company.

The film-related companies established by Lu Chen are now at the top of Chinese-language films, and are also top-notch in the global film industry.

"Teacher Ge You, Teacher Gong Li." Lu Chen stepped forward to greet them.

Today I also want to talk to Chinese movie stars.

Lu Chen wants to arrange for these top Chinese movie stars to make guest appearances in "Transformers 2".

Including the main actors of "Transformers 2", the proportion of Chinese actors will also increase.

In the second part, the male protagonist 'Sam' enters college life. One of the important supporting characters is 'Sam's' college roommate and alien fanatic, who has many scenes in the movie.

In this life, this role will be played by 'Huang Xiaoming'.

Huang Xiaoming has practiced his English so well during the filming of "Huaguo Partnership" that he can dub in English by himself.

A major officer in "Transformers 2" will be played by 'Wu Jing', who is also an Asian major in the United States in the movie.

There are also some small roles. It depends on which Chinese movie star is free to make a cameo.

The content of "Transformers 2" will be much higher than the first one.

……

Great Wall of Peking
"Transformers 2" crew

The movie "Transformers 2" has officially started filming in Peiping, China. It is planned to shoot the movie's scenes in China first. After the filming in China is completed, the crew will leave for the United States to shoot the main scenes of "Transformers 2".

All crew members are busy, especially the cinematography crew, who are busy setting up the camera crane.

In Lu Chen's plot arrangement for "Transformers 2", the Autobots will have a hearty battle on the Great Wall near Peking, and the background of the battlefield is the city of Peking in the distance.

The camera needs to be hoisted very high to capture the distant Peking City.

This requires the world's longest and most advanced camera boom. The boom can lift the camera to a distance of more than 20 meters from the ground, which is enough to shoot an ultra-long shot.

"Director Lu!" The staff of the photography team greeted Lu Chen respectfully when they saw him coming.

All of them had pride on their faces.

We are the team behind the movie directed by Director Lu, so it’s very honorable to tell it.

If Director Lu hadn't been an excellent director, we wouldn't have been able to participate in the filming of global commercial blockbusters.

"Everyone is busy, don't pay attention to me." Lu Chen also stepped forward to help. There was a 3D camera in front of him. It was very expensive. He also installed the camera on the crane arm himself.

If it falls accidentally, the damage will be secondary and it will delay the shooting work. There are only a few of these top-notch 3D cameras in the world.

There are currently only two stations in China, all of which are owned by Mars Film and Television.

Yang Mi and Liu Shishi, who were following Lu Chen, also stepped forward to help.Yang Mi is also the heroine of "Transformers 2", and Liu Shishi plays the role of a female robot pretending to be a beauty who seduces the hero in the movie. She has a lot of scenes in the movie.

In the movie, the character played by Liu Shishi mainly shows sexiness to the audience.

Liu Shishi has a perfect figure. After starring in the previous film "Xiu Chun Knife", many viewers regarded Liu Shishi as a goddess and were surprised by Liu Shishi's beauty.

"You don't need help. The machine is heavy and you can't lift it." Lu Chen told Yang Mi and Liu Shishi to rest. The equipment of this photography team is heavy.

"We can lift it." Yang Mi and Liu Shishi took the initiative to help.

Teacher Liu would like to do more things on the set.

This is the first time that I have starred in a global blockbuster and got an important supporting role. I feel very happy knowing that all this was given to me by Director Lu.

It's just that on the set, I can't be with Director Lu anymore. Normally, Yang Mi is with me. I can only wait for Yang Mi's special few days and then make up for it myself.

Soon.

The camera equipment is all installed.

Lu Chen summoned the male protagonist LaBeouf and the main actors to come over.

Talking about how to move in front of the camera later.

During the filming process, the Autobots must be special effects production, but the actors must understand that with the Autobots, they should not move into the wrong position, which will affect the post-production special effects production.

LaBeouf, who became a global hit with "Transformers", listened carefully, like a little fanboy.

After all, LaBeouf became popular because of the movie directed by Director Lu.

Not to mention that Director Lu is still the director of "The Wandering Earth", the world's top director, no matter how famous the actor is, he is like a junior to Director Lu.

As for the props team, they are busy preparing props for shooting and arranging green cloth. All work is moving forward in an orderly manner.

"Okay, everyone returns to their stations." Lu Chen clapped his hands.

LaBeouf, Yang Mi, Wu Jing and others returned to the shooting location.

Liu Shishi acted as Director Lu's follower, holding a walkie-talkie and communicating with the filming script. Liu Shishi's scenes were mainly in the United States and only appeared in the first half of the movie.

I have no role in China, but I have been staying on the set. I also want to have a chance to be alone with Director Lu. Director Lu’s father is looking forward to being pregnant with Director Lu’s child.

This matter cannot be accomplished by myself and requires the strong cooperation of Director Lu.

"Departments, prepare." Lu Chen sat in the director's chair, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, making final confirmations.

All film working groups have received news of preparation.

"action~"

Lu Chen gave the order.

The camera is turned on.

First, shoot a super long shot.

'Sam', played by LaBeouf, pulls 'Yang Mi', who plays the heroine, and runs up the Great Wall.

Yang Mi's dress in the movie was a pair of ultra-short jeans, which showed off her long legs to the fullest. She wore a T-shirt on her upper body. She had such a good figure that the pattern on the T-shirt was stretched out to give a particularly three-dimensional look.

Behind them were a major officer played by Wu Jing, a dismissed American agent and other actors.

Behind them, there were Autobots chasing them.

Of course, during the filming, there were definitely no Autobots, as special effects would be added later, but they had to show that the Autobots were chasing them, and they had to show a sense of urgency.

The camera was hoisted to the highest point to shoot. Yang Mi and others were completely insignificant, and the Peking City behind them served as the background for the shooting.

"Everyone, pay attention to the expressions on your faces. We need to zoom in." Lu Chen informed the actors with a walkie-talkie.

Taking super long shots.

The actor is just a small character in the super distant shadow.

Therefore, the changes in facial expressions cannot be captured at all. The actors are shooting super long shots, and the laughter scenes are fine.

But in order to get a closer look, the actors had to be notified in advance.

The boom begins to lower and the camera extends forward.

From the super long shot, to the long shot, the medium shot, and then to the close shot, it is particularly silky smooth.

This is also the charm of the camera crane.

Ordinary film crews don't have enough funds to arrange a super-long crane for the camera.

I always switch directly from a long shot to a close shot, but I still don’t have to zoom in all the way, so it feels silky smooth.

Lu Chen kept staring at the camera to capture the footage and controlled the rhythm of the film.

"Transformers 2" doesn't have a lot of scenes in China. It can be filmed in about three weeks. After the Chinese scenes are finished shooting and after a few days of rest, the whole crew will go to the United States to continue filming "Transformers 2". 》.

During this period, Lu Chen's main job was filming "Transformers 2".

……

America, Four Seasons Hotel
"Transformers 2" hotel

"Director Lu, why don't we go for a walk today." After that, Yang Mi lay on top of Lu Chen. There was still a little sweat on her face because she had just finished exercising.

"Just stay in the hotel, the filming will start tomorrow." Lu Chen has been in the United States for three days, and the crew will officially start filming in the United States tomorrow.

I don’t know how the news of the hotel where the "Transformers 2" crew stayed was leaked.

There were fans outside the hotel.

Many of them were holding movie posters for "The Wandering Earth", "Transformers", "Iron Man", and "Batman: The Dark Knight". These were fans from all over the United States, as well as from Europe and Asia. Loyal fans come from all over the world.

They were all conquered by the movies directed by Director Lu, and they loved the movies directed by Director Lu very much.

Especially "The Wandering Earth".

The shock brought by the world's first 3D movie was epoch-making.

European and American movie fans have recognized that Director Lu Chen is God’s best gift to the film industry, a film angel sent by God, and a film angel in the global film industry.

"How about we put on makeup and go out secretly." Yang Mi still wanted to date Director Lu outside, like a couple.

"The hotel has been closed, and all the crew members live inside. If you go out, you won't be surrounded, so there's no point in putting on makeup. Just stay in the hotel." Lu Chen told Yang Mi not to think about it, as they will be filming tomorrow , just stay in the hotel and rest.

"Ding dong~"

Then the doorbell rang.

Yang Mi got up from the bed and was about to open the door.

"Clothes!" Lu Chen reminded quickly.

Only then did Yang Mi realize that she had just finished exercising and the clothes were still on the ground. She quickly picked them up and put them on one by one.

"My dear minister, I brought you the roast duck from Peiping specially. I know you won't be able to eat it in America, so you must want to eat it." Liu Xiaoli came in with her daughter Liu Yifei.

He was holding a box of roast duck in his hand.

"Aunt Liu? Yifei?" Lu Chen was surprised, "Why are you here?"

Shouldn't it be in Peiping? How could it appear in the United States and land by air?

"Of course I'm here to take care of you. You are in America, no one is allowed to take care of you~" Liu Xiaoli said, taking out the roast duck and putting it on the table, indicating that she could come and eat.

Lu Chen wanted to say that he had only been in the United States for three days, not three months. Is it necessary to bring Peking specialties here?

"Senior brother, we are here for something." Liu Yifei said quickly, knowing that senior brother didn't like it, so she came to see him if there was nothing to do. If there was no arrangement, just stay in Peiping. (End of chapter)
