Chapter 326 Another blockbuster movie

December 2011, 6

Peking, Jupiter Cinema
"Mulan" officially hits theaters today.

Lu Chen and Liu Yifei, both wearing hats and masks, entered the cinema.

Lu Chen went out to watch a movie with Liu Yifei today. He was forced by his father and aunt to go out on a date with Liu Yifei and watch a movie.

Otherwise, Lu Chen should be at home now, preparing the script for the new movie.

Having shot several major global movies, Lu Chen plans to shoot a Chinese-language comedy movie this year.

"Brother, the movie won't start until ten minutes. Let's sit here first." Liu Yifei lowered her voice, mainly because her voice was easy to hear.

This time I went out with my senior brother.

Just like an ordinary couple, they date to watch movies and have dinner.

I don’t want to be discovered and ruin the atmosphere of the date.

Lu Chen and Liu Yifei took their seats in the rest area of ​​the cinema.

The movie theater was particularly busy today.

Director Lu has released another major global movie since "Transformers 2". He has collaborated with Disney Studios on the 3D movie "Mulan", which will be released in theaters in Mainland China and Hong Kong today.

Mainland audiences already have unconditional trust in Director Lu. If you don’t watch Lu’s films, you will know that they are definitely worth the price of admission. Director Lu has also brought you countless classic works and is already synonymous with quality. .

Not to mention, this time it is another global movie related to China.

Hua Mulan!
Everyone in China knows that when she was in school, she learned the story of Hua Mulan joining the army in place of her father.

Although Director Lu is cooperating with Disney, this is a Chinese-language film.

This reminds everyone that in the year "The Wandering Earth" was released, the first hearty 3D movie allowed the audience to see the development of technology and Director Lu's ability to direct special effects blockbusters from the movie.

At this time, a group of people came out of the theater after watching the movie "Mulan" and started chatting.

"The appearance of the villain Gong Li in the movie is really amazing. I have watched Gong Li play a female character who has been suffering all her life. I didn't expect that Gong Li would give such an amazing performance in "Mulan" this time. She is worthy of being Emperor Gong, playing the role of a villain. Come on, don’t be pretentious at all.”

"There is also Jet Li's emperor, who is full of aura. This is the image of the ancient emperor in my mind. Previously, Jet Li was an assassin who assassinated the emperor in "Heroes", but now he is the emperor. There is also Chen Long's general, who shows In addition to the majesty of the general, Chen Long is now in his fifties and can still fight so well. As a fan of Chen Long, I feel really lucky."

"The older generation of Chinese-speaking actors really shine in movies, including Liu Yifei. Before, I thought Liu Yifei could only play sweet sisters because of her petite image. I didn't expect that in "Mulan", her performance was so amazing. She was completely the Mulan in my mind. Their image and graceful movements really live up to the saying, women are not inferior to men. Of course, these actors’ wonderful performances must also be praised by Director Lu. Director Lu has indeed reached the level of mastery in training actors.”

"In my mind, the image of 'Mulan' is petite, and Liu Yifei is perfect for it. Wouldn't it ruin the image of Mulan for a tall and thick girl to play the role? Liu Yifei really made 'Mulan' come alive with such skill. , I’m afraid not many martial arts actors in the Mainland can do it as well, and I can see that Liu Yifei put in a lot of effort for the role of ‘Mulan’.”

The audience members who had just come out of the theater started discussing one by one, and praised the movie actors and the movie director.

Liu Yifei was very happy when she heard these comments. Before the movie was released, she was really afraid that she would drag down the movie. After all, the investment in "Mulan" was so large.

If I can't get my money back, I won't let my senior brother have his first movie that loses money. This first place is undesirable.

Lu Chen also listened to the discussions of these audiences. This time he directed "Mulan" in order to change the low quality of the previous "Mulan" and the issue of magic modification.

A lot of thought was put into it, especially the movie story.

The story of the "Mulan" movie in this life focuses more on the "Mulan" written in the history books, rather than the magically altered and haphazardly altered story of Mulan in the previous life.

I have also been thinking about the villain played by Gong Li for a long time.

The goal is to take "Mulan" to a new level and make it into a high-quality movie. Now that he is about to become the No. 1 director, he can't ruin his own brand.

"Brother, it's almost time, let's go in." Liu Yifei stood up with a smile on her face. She felt relieved after hearing the comments from the audience.

Have a good sleep tonight.

Before the movie was released, Liu Yifei was worried that she would sometimes be unable to sleep, fearing that she would drag down the movie because of her.

Ok!

The audience recognized his performance in "Mulan".

Lu Chen stood up and took Liu Yifei's hand.

"Brother, let's go to dinner after watching the movie." Liu Yifei said happily: "I have already booked a restaurant and a hotel~"

Senior brother took the time to go out on a date with me today. You must cherish every minute and every second of today.

6 month 16 number

Peking, Rose Garden Villa
"Mulan" has been released in mainland China for four days, with rave reviews and strong box office performance.

Lu Chen looked at the files on his laptop in the lobby. On it was the first draft of the movie script.

"Heart in full bloom"

The road comedy will be filmed this year.

The actors have not yet been cast and the script is being revised.

"Ding dong~"

Then the doorbell rang.

"Minister, you are busy with your business, I will open the door." Liu Ruyu got up and opened the door.

After a while, laughter came from the door.

When Lu Chen heard the voice, he knew it was mother and daughter Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei.

"Brother~" Liu Yifei ran over happily and sat beside him, holding hands.

Lu Chen had no choice but to close his laptop.

"Xiao Chen, everyone is talking about "Mulan" directed by you now. It has reached the first place in popularity." Liu Xiaoli kept smiling, "Of course, Xiao Chen's works will always be the most popular, not only in China, but also in China." It’s the most popular in the world.”

"Mulan" has been released in mainland China for four days.

6300 million on the first day.

The following three days were 6100 million, 5980 million, and 6093 million respectively.

Now the domestic box office in four days has reached 2.4 million.

The box office of Hong Kong is also good, with 2700 million Hong Kong dollars in four days.

Mainland media also gave "Mulan" good reviews.

#"Mulan" directed by director Lu Chen allows us to have a clearer understanding of the ancient heroine 'Mulan', which is more three-dimensional than the 'Mulan' seen in textbooks. It is recommended that parents take their children to the cinema. Watch the movie "Mulan" and understand the allusion of joining the army in place of your father - 1906 Movie Network#
#Although the 3D shots in "Mulan" are not as visually impactful as "The Wandering Earth", "Mulan" pays more attention to the story and tells the story of Hua Mulan joining the army in place of her father. The movie is particularly delicate, which is why I have to praise Liu Yifei for really bringing "Mulan" to life. The living Mulan is on the big screen... Netease News#
#Many people say that the 3D shots of "Mulan" are not satisfying and not as shocking as "The Wandering Earth". However, the scene of the battle between the two armies in "Mulan" can be called the number one ancient costume war scene in China. This big scene, Only Director Lu could make it. The final scene of the battle between the two armies in the movie is worth the price of admission. Audiences who like ancient war movies are in luck. Director Lu contributed a hearty two-part battle in "Mulan". Military war...Xinlang News#
"Brother, "Mulan" was successful in the Mainland!" Liu Yifei was very happy, but her smile disappeared immediately, "I just don't know what the effect will be if it lands in overseas theaters?"

"Mulan" is currently only released in mainland China and Hong Kong, and has not yet been released overseas. No matter how you put it, "Mulan" is a Chinese heroine story.

"Of course Yifei will succeed overseas. This is Xiaochen. Xiaochen is the biggest golden brand in the global film industry." Liu Xiaoli is quite confident, "And 'Mulan' is also well-known overseas. Disney Film Company can film it." A 'Mulan' animated movie already has an audience base."

Even without the 'Mulan' IP of Disney Pictures.

Liu Xiaoli believes that the movie will achieve excellent results around the world, because it is Xiaochen's work, and Xiaochen's work does not need any support. Countless movie fans around the world will come to cinemas to support it.

"Yes, I believe that "Mulan" will definitely be a hit overseas." Liu Yifei clenched her pink fist. She didn't have to believe in herself, but she had to completely believe in her senior brother.

"Yifei, is this right?" Liu Ruyu said with a smile: "Nowadays, there are a lot of compliments for you on the Internet. They all say that you brought your performance of 'Mulan' to life."

Weibo and forums actually gave Liu Yifei high praise.

Liu Yifei also gained a large number of fans in China with "Mulan", making Liu Yifei currently the most popular actress in the mainland.

Can play the absolute leading role in a global commercial movie.

Currently, among the Chinese actresses, there is only Liu Yifei.

It can be said that Liu Yifei is the only actor and actress.

"Rush Hour" starring Chen Long must not be considered a top commercial movie, and Chen Long is not the absolute protagonist in "Rush Hour". There are two protagonists in the movie.

In "Mulan", no one competed with Liu Yifei for the scene, and hundreds of millions of US dollars were invested. Including the publicity and distribution costs, it was already nearly 2 million US dollars.

The audience also knows that Liu Yifei can star in "Mulan". First, she is really suitable and she really brings Mulan to life.

The second is Director Lu's favorite actress. It can be said that in "Mulan", it was Lu Chen who decided who would play Mulan.

"Thank you Aunt Liu." Liu Yifei smiled at Liu Ruyu, then looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Director Lu, when will we leave for the United States?"

There are still five days left for "Mulan" to hit the North American film market.

There are still five days left to see how popular "Mulan" is in overseas markets.

"We'll leave the day after tomorrow." Lu Chen looked at Liu Xiaoli, "Aunt Liu, will you go there together?"

Now Lu Chen has purchased a private jet, unlike renting a private jet before.

When going abroad, the number of people must be reported.

Liu Xiaoli wanted to go there and help her daughter become the daughter-in-law of the Lu family as soon as possible, but when she saw her daughter shaking her head, she had to say: "I have some things to do in Peiping, so I won't accompany you there."

Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, but she was really afraid that her mother would have to go with her.

There is a mother.

Not very relaxed.

It would be great to let myself and my senior brother be together and live a world of two people, but my mother should not join in the fun.

"That's okay." Lu Chen didn't care anyway.

"Xiaochen, I heard that you are preparing for a new movie recently?" Liu Xiaoli asked.

In Liu Xiaoli's heart.

In the movies directed by Xiaochen, the heroines give the best to their daughters.

"Yes." Lu Chen also knew what Aunt Liu meant, so he made it clear directly, "Aunt Liu, Yifei is not suitable for my new movie role. Of course, if she is suitable, I will give priority to Yifei."

Waiting for the promotional activities of "Mulan" to be completed.

I will be planning to make the movie "Blissful", but there is no suitable role for Liu Yifei in the movie.

Besides, Liu Yifei has just starred in "Mulan", which is the world's top commercial movie, so it's hard to immediately star in the low-budget "Happy Heart".

"Xiao Chen, your words make Aunt Liu very happy." Liu Xiaoli said with a smile.

Liu Yifei glanced at her mother and said that she shouldn't have said what she just said to her senior brother. She had her own plans for the movie, and there was no need to say that she was really suitable for her. I believe her senior brother would definitely consider her.

"Yifei, when you get to the United States, you have to take good care of me." Liu Xiaoli explained, "You have to replace your Aunt Liu, replace me, and take good care of me. You can't let me lose weight overseas. "

"Mom, Aunt Liu, don't worry, I will take good care of my senior brother." Of course Liu Yifei will take good care of him, this is her favorite man.

"Xiaochen, why don't you take Yifei to your room and rest for a while." Liu Ruyu suggested, "Anyway, it's still some time before dinner. As for you and Aunt Liu, we can work on the meal while you young people just have fun. Go ahead."

Liu Yifei immediately looked at Lu Chen excitedly.

I know that no woman has ever spent the night in Senior Brother's room.

I don't know if I have this opportunity. If I can spend the night in my senior brother's room, it will be more stable for me to marry my senior brother.

"Okay." Seeing Liu Yifei's hot eyes, Lu Chen couldn't refuse, so he just returned to the room to polish the script of "Blissful Heart".

Lu Chen is a time traveler.

For shooting the works of the previous life.

Everyone will make a request for themselves.

It is to surpass the previous work, to shoot better than the previous work, and to make up for the shortcomings of the previous work in this life.

Just like "Mulan".

In its previous life, it was not considered a high-quality movie at all.

But in this life, Lu Chen finished filming, and received unanimous praise from the media and audiences in the mainland. It also allowed Liu Yifei, Gong Li, Jet Li, Chen Long, and Fan Wei to contribute wonderful performances in the movie.

"Mom, Aunt Liu, my senior brother and I are going to the room." Liu Yifei held Lu Chen's hand closely and helped hold the laptop.

"Go ahead, we are busy cooking on the first floor, but you won't hear any noise outside." Liu Ruyu and Liu Xiaoli both pointed, saying that no matter how loud the noise was, they wouldn't hear it.

This left Lu Chen speechless. He returned to the room on the second floor to polish the script, not Liu Yifei.

Not only polishing the script, but also considering the actors of "Blissful Heart".

For movie actors, the first thing to consider is that they must be of the Martian type.

Now the Mars department has the most abundant artist resources in the mainland, and there are all types of artists.

Even if Mars Film and Television does not produce film and television works, it can still be the most profitable film and television company in the mainland by taking a cut of the artist's salary from filming movies and TV series outside, as well as taking a cut of the income from advertising and participating in variety shows.

Of course, the works must be shot. There are so many artists in the Mars series, and they all rely on the company's own works to give them exposure opportunities.

Most of the actors who appear in outside productions are artists who have already become famous in Mars-type films and are then chosen by other film companies or directors.
