"Husband, it's been half a year, do you have any idea about your new movie?" Liu Yifei saw Lu Chen watching TV in the hall, leaned on his shoulder, and asked about the new movie.

"Honey, I have an idea." Lu Chen had a new idea and wanted to shoot "The Wandering Earth 2".

It's time to make a real Chinese special effects movie.

"Husband, what good idea do you want to make?" Liu Yifei was very excited. Her husband is finally going to make a movie again. If you tell your friends, everyone will be very happy.

"What are you going to take pictures of?" At this time Liu Ruyu came in from outside, heard the conversation, and asked with a smile.

"Mom~" Liu Yifei quickly stood up to greet her, "Just now my senior brother said that he was going to make a new movie."

"Oh, then this is a happy event." Liu Ruyu said with a smile: "Movie fans all over the world are waiting for your new movie, Xiaochen."

He said and sat down opposite Lu Chen.

Take out the papers from your bag.

This is the business situation of all Mars Film and Television, Mercury Special Effects, Mars Film and Television (Animation), Saturn Video, and Jupiter Cinemas last year.

The most profitable one is Mars Film and Television.

After all, Mars Film and Television is huge. It not only has Mars Film and Television (animation), but also Mars Film and Television (overseas), with a yearly net profit of US$19 billion.

The most profitable movie among them is "Avengers".

There is also "Iron Man 3" directed by Wu Ershan, which was also released in theaters in the second half of last year, with a global box office of US$11 billion.

It was considered a special success.

Wu Ershan also became a world-renowned director in one fell swoop.

Wu Ershan knew in his heart that it was Director Lu Chen who helped. As the film's producer and supervisor, Director Lu gave the film a lot of guidance, including helping to promote the film.

Of course, overseas movies include not only "Avengers" and "Iron Man 3", but also "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and many other major commercial movies.

Now Mars Film and Television is the largest film company in the world.

Of course, Mars Film and Television did not give up domestic film investment, supporting company artist Deng Chao as director and filming "The Breakup Master". Although the film's reputation was not very good, the film made a lot of money.

It has also invested in many excellent domestic films.

In 14, eight of the top ten domestic movies at the box office were related to Mars Film and Television, and five of them were led by Mars Film and Television.

The second largest theater chain in terms of net income is Jupiter Cinemas. As the No. 1 cinema chain in the country, Jupiter Cinemas has made a lot of money due to the boom in the mainland film market.

The third largest company in net income is Mercury Special Effects. Mercury Special Effects is already the world's top special effects company. Now it not only produces special effects movies invested by Mars Film and Television, but also takes orders from other film companies.

Including Hollywood film companies, some will also use Mercury Special Effects to produce special effects for their movies.

The fourth in terms of net income is Saturn Video. Now Saturn Video is the largest video player website in China and has the richest film and television resources.

Because of its rich film and television resources and various types of works, Saturn Video is also the video website with the largest number of users, including the largest number of VIP users.

Lu Chen looked at these companies' annual reports and saw that they were making so much money that they couldn't use it all.

The companies under it are all on the right track, and there is no need to worry too much.

"Xiao Chen, now no matter how big the cost of your movie is, the company can support it." Liu Ruyu said with a smile, remembering when Xiao Chen was filming "The Wandering Earth".

Not willing to ask for help from home.

He has collaborated with Hollywood companies on many films to raise money for the filming of "The Wandering Earth".

"Iron Man" and "Batman: The Dark Knight" were also filmed at that time.

And now "Iron Man" has reached its third installment.

"Yes, hubby, no matter how much investment a movie requires now, it is only a small problem for the company." Liu Yifei said expectantly: "How about hubby, you make a movie with the largest investment in the world."

"This money is all the company's hard-earned money. I can't let it go to waste." Although there is a lot of money, Lu Chen will not make a movie that cannot repay the money.

"Xiaochen, without your previous efforts, there would not be the world's top film companies now." Liu Ruyu said, you are the biggest contributor to all companies.

In the early stage, the company was indeed supported by Lu Chen alone.

We shoot three or four movies a year.

Every movie made money and was a hit.

The money was invested in new movies, like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

Nowadays, Mars Film and Television has become a giant in the global film industry, and Lu Chen is the biggest contributor.

Like the current Mars series, there are many great directors and international movie stars.

But in front of Director Lu Chen, many celebrities, big and small, have to behave themselves, and respect Lu Chen from the bottom of their hearts. It can be said that all the big names in the Mars series were promoted by Lu Chen alone.

"Husband, you have created China, no, you should be a miracle in the world's film industry." When Liu Yifei said this, her eyes were filled with stars and she was filled with admiration.

Now the Mars series has dominated the domestic film market and also has huge influence overseas.

"Don't praise me." Lu Chen looked at the two of them, "I can achieve such great achievements without the silent support of you two."

Especially my aunt.

I gave myself a lot of support in the early stages.

Support yourself in making movies.

When filming "The Blind Shaft", I prepared the best film shooting equipment for myself.

Including Mars Film and Television, my aunt was in charge of the early stage, and she was only responsible for making movies.

"Husband, you just said you were going to make a new movie. What kind of movie are you going to make?" At this time, Liu Yifei asked Lu Chen again about the new movie.

""The Wandering Earth 2."" Lu Chen's previous film "Avengers" was a Manpower superhero movie.

I still want to make a real Chinese-language production.

"The Wandering Earth 2" is the best choice. .

"The Wandering Earth" is the world's first 3D movie and has hundreds of millions of fans around the world.

"The Wandering Earth 2!" Liu Yifei became even more excited after hearing this.

I think hubby, the sequel movie that should be made the most should be "The Wandering Earth".

"The Wandering Earth" also brought a lot of glory to my husband. It was the first movie in the world to break $20 billion and redefined movie special effects.

Liu Ruyu also agreed.

"The Wandering Earth" is a big IP and very worthy of a sequel.

More worthy of filming than "Iron Man" and "Transformers".

And this time when Xiao Chen shoots "The Wandering Earth 2", he won't have to raise money everywhere like the first one. Even if the movie has the highest investment in the world, it is still a small problem for Mars Film and Television.

"Honey, when will the movie start shooting?" Liu Yifei asked, wanting to shoot the movie quickly.

I want to see my husband achieve higher achievements.

In the mainland film market, the number of large screens is increasing rapidly. Just last year, Jupiter Cinemas opened many new cinemas across the country.

Especially in second- and third-tier cities, there are many new cinemas.

"Yifei, you see you are more anxious than anyone else. What's wrong, do you want to act in a movie?" Lu Chen had asked Yifei before. As long as she wanted to act in a movie, the company would definitely arrange it for her.

It must be a big production with a luxurious cast.    Just because Yifei is Xiao Haohao's mother, everything must be a perfect match.

"Xiaochen, how about you arrange a role for Yifei in "The Wandering Earth 2"." Liu Ruyu suggested.

"Mom, no need." Liu Yifei refused and looked at Lu Chen, "Husband, now I want to accompany little Haohao and grow up with him."

Now that I have become a mother, I just want to be at home with my son, waiting for my husband to come back, and the family can be happy.

"Xiaochen, look at Yifei. I just want to take care of your house. What a good wife." Liu Ruyu praised.

"Yes, my wife is the best." Lu Chen said as he hugged Liu Yifei.

"Husband, mom is here too." Liu Yifei became shy.

"Well, I didn't see anything." Liu Ruyu smiled and quickly avoided it.

Peking, Mars Film and Television Studio No. 1

Built in the suburbs of Peking.

It was put into use last year and is the largest studio in Asia.

Most of the Mars special effects movies are shot at Mars Film and Television Studio 1.

Including Mars-based movies and TV series, which need to set up scenes, they are all set up in Studio 1.

The studio is convenient for shooting pictures. You don’t have to run around. It’s close to Peiping, and it’s also convenient for the actors participating in the show.

At present, Studio 1 has been completely vacated and is specially used for filming "The Wandering Earth 2".

Now the special effects scenes required for "The Wandering Earth 2" have been set up according to director Lu Chen's wishes.

Today "The Wandering Earth 2" officially launches.

The opening ceremony was held at the Mars Film and Television No. 1 Studio.

Not only well-known domestic media, but also well-known global media came to Studio No. 1.

This is Director Lu’s new work.

Director Lu Chen's first two works, one "Avengers", were very popular around the world and sold well at the box office.

There is also "Parasite", which won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.

Both a commercial film and a literary film have achieved great success.

Now I'm shooting a new one.

It's "The Wandering Earth 2" again, and it's getting a lot of attention.

Of course, Lu Chen also intended to be high-profile and accept interviews from media reporters to increase the popularity of the movie and strive for higher box office for the movie's future release.

At this time, the actors were already waiting in the room.

Seeing Lu Chen coming, they all stood up and respectfully called "Director Lu".

"Teacher Liu Dehua." Lu Chen stepped forward and shook hands.

Andy Lau plays 'Tu Hengyu' in "The Wandering Earth 2", a programmer and architect of the digital world.

In the movie, because his daughter Tuyaya died in a car accident, he wanted to keep his daughter's memory forever in the "digital life world" so that his daughter could spend a complete life in the digital world.

"Director Lu, thank you for inviting me to star in "The Wandering Earth 2."" Andy Lau bent down when shaking hands to express his respect for the world's number one director.

"Teacher Liu Dehua, you're welcome. You are an excellent actor and I need you in my movie." Lu Chen glanced at the time and said, "It's almost time. Come with me and accept interviews from domestic and foreign media."

Liu Shishi quickly stepped forward and took Lu Chen's hand.

In "The Wandering Earth 2", Liu Shishi plays 'Hao Xiaoxi' and has many scenes.

Of course, for Master Liu, it doesn't matter whether he has a lot of roles or not. What he wants is to be able to stay on the set and be with Director Lu all the time. After finishing work every day, he can be with Director Lu.

Led by Lu Chen, he led the creative team of "The Wandering Earth 2" outside.

"Kaka!"

The flashing lights kept coming.

There are countless reporters from outside media.

There was even a row of cameras set up.

This formation is the same as the opening ceremony of an international film festival.

Of course, this is Lu Chen’s influence and the attention that “The Wandering Earth” brings.

As the host of the movie "The Wandering Earth 2" launch conference, Liu Wei stepped forward and handed the microphone to Lu Chen.

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the launch ceremony of "The Wandering Earth 2"." Lu Chen thanked everyone.

"Director Lu!" The reporter from the China Film News was excited to be the first to ask questions. "I...I was so excited. Now my mind is blank and I have forgotten the question for a moment. Then I wish "The Wandering Earth" 2" was a hit at the box office. I believe that hundreds of millions of movie fans are waiting for your new film, Director Lu."

"The reporter from Huaguo Film News is the first media to support my work." Lu Chen looked at the reporters in the audience, "When "The Wandering Earth 2" is produced, I will definitely ask you to watch it in advance."

"Thank you, Director Lu!" the reporter from the film newspaper thanked him and was even more excited to watch "The Wandering Earth 2" in advance.

"Director Lu!" a reporter from 1906 Movie Network asked again, "Is "The Wandering Earth 2" a 3D movie? When will the movie be finished and when will it be released?"

These are the questions that movie fans are most concerned about.

"It must be a 3D movie." Lu Chen joked, ""The Wandering Earth" ushered in the era of global 3D movies. If the second movie is not a 3D movie, it will definitely not make sense, and fans will not agree. As for when it will be completed , when it will be released, please pay attention to the announcement released by Mars Film and Television, Mars Film and Television will notify you as soon as possible."

"Director Lu, is "The Wandering Earth 2" a continuation of the first film?" a reporter from the Peking Entertainment News asked, mainly because he saw Wu Jing.

Everyone has seen "The Wandering Earth". The male protagonist "Liu Peiqiang" played by Wu Jing, who detonated Mars at the end of the movie, is no longer there.

Is he resurrected?

It’s impossible for the world’s number one director, Director Lu, to do this kind of TV drama routine.

"This is a good question." Lu Chen praised the reporter and answered, "The second part of "The Wandering Earth" is not a continuation of the story of the first part. The story is before the first part. As for the name "The Wandering Earth 2" "It also sounds good, it's impossible to call it "The Prequel to The Wandering Earth", it's the same as the title of the TV series."

Finally, I made a little joke.

"Director Lu!" a reporter from Xinlang Entertainment asked, "It has been almost a year since the last movie "Parasite". This time you are filming a new work. I wonder if you have plans for your next work. No?"

Movie fans around the world now hope that Director Lu can be as prolific as in previous years, releasing three or four movies a year, which is a pleasure to watch.

"This question is a little too early to ask." Lu Chen said with a smile: "Right now, "The Wandering Earth 2" has just been launched, and my current focus must be on the work on "The Wandering Earth 2."

Next, well-known overseas media asked.

Overseas media are paying special attention to "The Wandering Earth 2".

The first film to achieve very good results overseas, the first film in the world to break $20 billion.

At that time, "The Wandering Earth" was released, and audiences around the world were exposed to 3D movies. The immersive experience made the audience hooked.

Lu Chen finished answering all reporters’ questions.

Today's movie launch conference is also over.

"The Wandering Earth 2" will soon enter the filming stage.

The planned shooting period is three months. Of course, this is the shooting time, and the post-production time will be longer. "The Wandering Earth 3" is a blockbuster.

The production cost was more than 2 million US dollars, and it is a top commercial blockbuster in the world. (End of chapter)
