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

Mars Building, fifth floor

On one floor were gathered big names in the Chinese film industry, as well as well-known movie stars from the Mainland, all of whom were familiar to the audience.

"Director Lu is here!"

Everyone who was chatting stopped talking.

They all looked towards the door.

Liu Wei, who was wearing a hip-hugging skirt, led Lu Chen in.

"Director Lu!" everyone present greeted.

Director Zhang from Nortel and the director of China National Theater were also present to congratulate director Lu Chen for his new film, which has set a new record with a box office of 28.23 billion in the mainland film market.

28.23 billion!

It is another new milestone for the mainland film market.

All Chinese film practitioners are happy about this and are proud to have director Lu Chen in the Chinese film industry.

Director Lu Chen has truly achieved this. He has single-handedly brought the influence of Chinese-language films to a new level and promoted Chinese-language film stars around the world.

Let Chinese movie stars and European and American movie stars compete together on the global film stage.

"Thank you everyone." Lu Chen thanked everyone for coming.

There are no media reporters today.

They are all friends from the film industry.

However, although reporters were not invited, Lu Chen was blocked by reporters on his way here just now. When the media reporters got the news, they were all waiting outside the Mars Building.

Lu Chen also got out of the car and accepted interviews with media reporters.

Most of the questions are about new works.

Lu Chen still gave the same answer to the new work, to be determined.

"Director Lu, congratulations!" Zhang Ziyi came over with a wine glass and clinked it with Lu Chen, "Now everyone is proud of you. You have proven to the world how great the potential of our mainland film market is. In the future, it will definitely be the largest film market besides the United States. film region, even more than the United States."

Nowadays, Chinese film industry practitioners are full of confidence in the future.

Including major film companies.

Now it can accommodate more than 2 billion movies.

In the future, film investment will also become larger and larger. With large investment, the quality of the film will be higher, the quality will be higher, and the box office will be higher. Chinese-language films will enter a particularly good cycle.

"Director Lu, who would have thought that today the mainland film market can also exceed 2 billion in box office." Ge You also came over and congratulated, "I remember when you asked me to film "Let the Bullets Fly" and became the box office champion of mainland movies. It’s already extraordinary. In less than ten years now, the box office has doubled several times, which is a pity. If it could exceed 3 billion, it would be even more perfect.”

There was a joke at the end.

I have always had a good relationship with Director Lu Chen.

In the early stage, I collaborated with Director Lu on "A World Without Thieves" and "Let the Bullets Fly", but we didn't collaborate much later.

However, as long as Director Lu invites him, Ge You will definitely cancel all schedules and participate in Director Lu's movie.

"Teacher Ge You, then I will continue to work hard." Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Director Lu, you have to keep working hard." Zhang Yingmou also came over and joined the chat, "Everyone is waiting for you to break a new record. You are now a benchmark in the film industry, but you can't learn from "Avengers". Only Director Lu dares to shoot this kind of cost, no other director dares to touch it."

"I agree with what Director Zhang said." Chen Kaige also came over to chat, "The total box office of the movies I have directed in my career as a director is not as high as the production cost of a movie directed by you, Director Lu."

The production cost of "Avengers" plus the publicity and distribution costs are about US$400 million.

There are other global large-scale productions with production costs of around US$200 million.

The total box office of the films directed by most mainland directors is not as high as that of Director Lu. The production cost of "Avengers" alone is about US$400 million, which translates to more than US$3 billion.

There is no director in China whose total box office has reached so much.

Not to mention the total production costs of all Director Lu's films, if the total box office is added together, it is an astronomical figure.

Nowadays, in the world of directors, director Lu Chen has the most box office, far ahead of second place, and well-deserved first place.

"Seniors, it's serious. A large box office doesn't mean anything." Lu Chen has always respected his seniors. "The times are also good, and the market is getting bigger and bigger. As long as everyone continues to direct, the box office will be bigger and bigger." Many."

"But we are not as young as you." Zhang Yingmou said with a smile: "When we make movies in the future, we won't be able to make as many movies as you, Director Lu. Your record, Director Lu, will not be possible in the future, let alone at home, looking at the world. Someone broke.”

Everyone else was respectful as well.

They all flattered Director Lu Chen.

It can be said that the film company bosses present were like younger brothers to Lu Chen. A little leakage from Mars Film and Television would be enough to satisfy them.

Of course, don't look at these film company bosses nodding and bowing in front of Lu Chen.

Outside, facing those new directors and new actors, they are boss-level existences.

"Director Lu, you have brought us too much honors to Nortel." President Zhang Huijun of Nortel came over with a wine glass, "On behalf of Nortel, I want to thank you. With you, Nortel is a global leader." All enjoy great popularity.”

Now at Peking Film Academy.

They are all proud of Lu Chen.

Nortel students are also proud to be an alumnus of Director Lu Chen.

Photos of Director Lu Chen have also been hung in the classrooms of various departments at Nortel, and he has become the number one person at Nortel.

"Dean, it's me who respects you. If it weren't for Nortel, I wouldn't be where I am today." Lu Chen and Zhang Huijun clinked their glasses and downed the drink in one gulp, which was regarded as mutual achievement.

"The Blind Shaft" came back from Berlin winning the Golden Bear.

Thanks to a lot of help from Dean Zhang Huijun, including senior colleagues at Nortel, "Blind Shaft" was successfully released in the mainland without being blocked.

Only then did we achieve success.

In a few months, Lu Chen will participate in the Venice Film Festival.

According to Yifei Wife, it won a Grand Slam at the three major international film festivals.

……

2014, October 8

Venice, Marco Polo Airport

The entire road outside the airport has been temporarily controlled by the Venice police.

Because today, director Lu Chen’s private plane will land at Marco Polo Airport and take the movie “Parasite” to the 71st Venice International Film Festival.

Director Lu Chen’s entry.

Instantly, this year’s 71st Venice Film Festival became the biggest and hottest topic.

It can be said that Venice has never received such great attention since it was held. Some big directors have taken the initiative to be invited guests of the Venice Film Festival.

Including the city of Venice, even if there was a film festival held before, it would be a little more lively, but not so lively. There were no vacancies in the hotels in the city, and fans of director Lu Chen from all over the world flew to Venice.

At this time, the road outside the airport was full of people, and there were loyal fans holding signs in their hands.

#DirectorLuchen! Long live! #

#DirectorLuchen! I love you! Love you very much! Please book a room with me#

#DirectorLuchen! Please make a new work! I beg you! Our whole family is waiting for your new work#

#DirectorLuchen! Please take a look at me. I came from more than 8,000 kilometers away and spent all my savings. I just want you to take a look at me.#

The words on the sign are all in Chinese.

Many fans even wore clothes co-branded with the brand's clothing from the movie directed by Lu Chen.

At this time, the Venice police, looking at the crazy fans in front of them, felt huge pressure. The entire road outside the airport was full of people, and they couldn't see their heads. They thought Director Lu Chen was the most popular superstar in the world.

It is the only one in the world for a behind-the-scenes director to receive such treatment.

With so many fans, he also directed movies, all of which are classics, with explosive special effects and good stories. They were all conquered by Director Lu's movies. "There are so many people here today, how are we going to get to the hotel later?" Director Spielberg looked at the road outside the airport, which was full of people, and thought about how to get out later.

"Director Spielberg, don't worry, the Venetian authorities have already arranged helicopters." Desplat pointed to three helicopters parked in the distance.

There was definitely no way back to the hotel from the ground.

Only go back through the air.

Desplat is the chairman of the jury of this year's 71st Venice Film Festival. He is also very excited at this time. This year's film festival is different. Director Lu Chen, a global figure, is here.

As the chairman of the jury, I am now a nobody.

Director Spielberg next to him.

Director Cameron will also come to the Venice Film Festival, not with his films, but as a guest to watch the participating films.

Of course, Cameron must have come to director Lu Chen to participate in the film "Parasite".

There were other top directors in the world who came to join in the fun and wanted to chat with Director Lu.

Director Lu Chen is already the number one director in the world at a young age. His achievements are unparalleled and even those world-famous directors want to learn from him.

"Director Lu's plane is here." Desplat reminded.

Spielberg looked up at the sky, "We are escorted by fighter planes. Are you so awesome?"

The private plane was accompanied by two fighter jets.

However, the fighter plane did not land. Instead, it completed its mission, turned around, and returned to the base.

"Director Spielberg, now Director Lu is not only a director, but also the boss of Mars Film and Television. It is not too strange to have such treatment." Desplat knows how good Mars Film and Television is in the global film industry today.

"Transformers" series, "Batman" series, "Kung Fu Panda" series, the world's first 3D movie "The Wandering Earth", and the financial backer behind Manway Comics.

Produced many Manweis superhero movies, and "Avengers" opened the Manweis movie universe.

When Spielberg heard this, he smiled. He knew that the intention to set up a large-scale fighter escort should be Director Lu Chen's status in China. Lu Chen held many titles in China.

He is not only a director and a film capital, but also has other important identities.

Coupled with the growing influence of China, Italy will definitely send fighter planes to escort it.

"Lu Chen! Lu Chen!"

Saw the plane coming.

Fans outside the road shouted over.

But shouting and shouting.

It was discovered that the private plane must not have landed.

Instead, it hovered in the air, and everyone was confused.

Including Spielberg and other European and American film professionals who were picked up at the airport, members of the Venice Film Festival organizing committee, and jury members looked at the planes circling in the sky.

They all have question marks on their faces, and they don’t understand what’s going on.

As long as the control tower inside the airport knows that the plane cannot land immediately, it will have to wait for a while.

……

Fan Bingbing shouted continuously, and even stepped forward to hug Lu Chen. The main reason was that time waited for no one. The crew had already knocked on the door just now.

A reminder that when you arrive at the airport, you must prepare for landing and return to your seat to fasten your seat belt.

And now Fan Bingbing and Director Lu were on the big bed in the private jet room.

This private jet was newly purchased last year.

Inside the private jet, there are not only beds, but also a small bathroom. The entire aircraft can accommodate more than 30 passengers. The interior space is extremely large. Each seat is customized, and each seat is worth millions.

Now Lu Chen is no longer like before, he has no spare money.

When I was filming "The Wandering Earth", including the time when I was building the Mars Building, I had very little spare money.

But it's all in the past. Once everything is done, the money will only increase, and it will be too much to count, and I will also buy the best private jet.

"Done!" Lu Chen stopped.

Fan Bingbing stood up immediately, without even cleaning the battlefield. Time was running out, so he brought Lu Chen's clothes over and said, "Director Lu, we have to get back to our seats. The plane is about to land."

There is a movie monitor in the room showing where the plane is flying.

The plane was circling over the airport at this time.

Fan Bingbing was more anxious than anyone else, so he hugged Lu Chen tightly just now and cooperated as much as possible. The two of them worked together to end the battle as quickly as possible.

As for arriving at the airport and returning to the hotel, it can take as long as you want, there is no need to rush.

"Director Lu!" The flight attendant was already waiting. When she saw Lu Chen and Fan Bingbing coming out of the room, she quickly stepped forward, led them to their seats, and helped them fasten their seat belts.

The plane also ended its circling, headed for the airport's Runway 2, and landed safely.

Director Spielberg, a member of the Venice Film Festival Organizing Committee, and leaders at all levels in Venice are already waiting.

As soon as you get off the plane.

Fan Bingbing stepped forward and took Lu Chen's hand.

As an actor in "Parasite", Dilraba had no choice but to follow behind, but she was still a step too slow, including on the plane just now.

Fan Bingbing took the initiative to sit on Director Lu's lap, so the two of them went to the airplane room.

If she had known this, Dilireba thought she would take the initiative and sit on Director Lu's lap. However, there were other actors from "Parasite" on the plane. If no one was there, Dilireba would definitely do this.

You can't be like Fan Bingbing, who doesn't care about others.

"Director Lu, I've been waiting for you to come." The leaders of the relevant departments in Venice came up to greet us.

Expressing welcome to the entire city and Director Lu Chen.

Thanks to the landing guide.

It is because of the arrival of Tour Guide Lu that Venice's tourism revenue has reached a high point.

These fans will definitely want to eat, drink and stay when they come to Venice. These are all items to spend money on.

"Director Lu, your plane was hovering above everyone just now." Spielberg stepped forward and held hands. "It shocked me. I thought there was something wrong with the plane. Fortunately, the plane landed safely."

However, I wonder what Spielberg would think if he knew what the plane was doing as it circled above everyone.

"Director Spielberg, don't worry, this is the latest aircraft with the highest safety rating." Lu Chen also greeted the others and shook hands.

"Director Lu, we have arranged a helicopter." The Venice police boss pointed to the helicopter on standby in the distance.

"Don't worry, I'll go outside first and say hello to my fans." Lu Chen never neglects his fans who support him. Every global movie can achieve high box office without the support of these loyal fans.

Fan Bingbing has been holding Lu Chen's hand, just because he wants to be more exposed so that foreign media reporters and audiences can remember him.

"Reba, come with me." Lu Chen shouted, allowing Dilireba to show her face in front of the world's media.

"Yeah~" Di Lieba nodded excitedly, stepped forward to hold Lu Chen's hand, and stood with Li Bingbing. (End of chapter)
