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

Chapter 41
Changnian Building, Mars Film and Television

Lu Chen signed the contract, and the movie "A World Without Thieves" was officially distributed by Huaguo Film Group.

"Director Lu, there are very few directors as efficient as you." Han Shanping accepted the contract and praised Lu Chen.

"A World Without Thieves" has only been filmed for more than a month, and only the last shot is left to be completed and post-production. This efficiency is definitely on the list in the mainland director circle.

"I'm also considering the cost." The shooting cycle is short and the cost is low. One extra day means that the whole crew will spend one more day. For example, when a director of sunglasses shoots a movie, the unit is year.

Investors came to visit the class for the first time, driving a Mercedes-Benz, and the last time they came, they all came by taxi, forcing investors to jump off the building.

As a director, Lu Chen knows that investors are the last thing to be cheated on, not to mention that he is also a capital now, so how can he waste his own money.

"Director Lu is indeed the darling of the film and television investment industry. Investors don't like such a director." Han Shanping changed his tone, "I heard that Director Lu recently approved two more films. I wonder if there is still a lack of investment?"

"Mr. Han, this is a low-budget movie, and the investment is not big." Lu Chen understood that Han Shanping came to the company this time not only for the release of "A World Without Thieves".

He is also staring at his next two films.

Han Shanping deserves to be a bigwig in the film industry.

Yesterday, "Crazy Stone" and "On the Journey" were prepared, so he got the news.

"A low-cost movie?" Han Shanping was curious, "How much is the investment?"

"The production cost of each film is about 500 million." When Lu Chen first wrote the script, "Crazy Stone" and "On the Journey" had already formed in his mind.

So shooting will be quite smooth.

The cost can be kept below 300 million.

As for the production cost of 500 million.

My own director, producer, and screenwriter.

To take away more than 200 million yuan in remuneration, nearly half of the film cost, all of which went into my own pocket.

500 million is also good for Huaying Brothers and Datang Film and Television to invest.

If the production cost is more than 200 million, it is not enough.

"500 million?" Han Shanping didn't expect it to be so little. It's really a low-budget movie. The more Lu Chen plays, the smaller it gets, 6000 million for TV dramas and 4000 million for movies.

Now directly 500 million a movie, I haven't seen such a director.

"These two films should be distributed by the film group." What Lu Chen meant was not to invest, but to distribute it to you. This share is really not enough. "As for my film next year, I hope that Mr. Han's film group will able to invest."

Wait until the filming of "Crazy Stone" and "On the Journey".

Three excellent films a year.

It will definitely leave a deep impression on the audience.

There is a mass base.

At this time, Lu Chen planned to play a big game.

At that time, the investment of the film group will definitely be needed.

It's not that I'm short of money.

Instead, a film group with a strong root is needed to escort the film and ensure that the film can be released.

"Okay." Han Shanping originally planned to invest, but the box office of small-budget movies is definitely not high in the end, so he lost interest. However, if you know the box office of "Crazy Stone" and "People on the Journey", the profits will be heaven-defying. If the rate is high, it will definitely cover the investment of the two films.

"By the way, Mr. Han, when "A World Without Thieves" is being promoted, we can also warm up these two movies." Lu Chen wants to follow up "A World Without Thieves" and strike while the iron is hot, striving to win a higher box office.

"Could it be too early?" Han Shanping was so surprised when he heard that it would take Lu Chen a month to shoot two films, he stood up, "One month?"

Isn't that the average movie, less than two weeks?
Mainland directors have never made movies so fast?

Xiangjiang is faster than this.

It took only seven days for director Wang Jin to shoot "The Legend of the Dragon Slaying the Dragon: The Demon Cult Leader".

But Xiangjiang has a well-developed film and television industry, and all the scenes are in one place, so there is no need to run around.

Not to mention that "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji: The Demon Cult Leader" is also an alternative existence in Xiangjiang movies.

Even for Xiangjiang movies, most of the shooting cycle is about one month. That was in the 90s, and now in the new century, there are very few movies that are shot in a month.

"Yes, one month. Small-budget movies don't take much time." Lu Chen said his plan, "I plan to release two movies after "A World Without Thieves."

Han Shanping couldn't calm down for a long time, and felt that Lu Chen was joking, but it didn't seem like two movies a month could really be filmed?
Lu Chen chatted with Han Shanping about the next two movies, and after the chat was over, he sent Han Shanping away.

"Brother Xiaoyao~" As soon as Han Shanping left, Yang Mi knocked on the door, entered the office, and put a glass of juice on the table, "I personally picked the freshest apples, freshly squeezed."

After speaking, I cleaned the office again.

That's called being diligent.

I just want to perform in front of Lu Chen. Fortunately, I can play an important role in the next work.

Entering Mars Film and Television, I especially envy Zhao Liying.

A "Sword of Heaven" became the star of Xiaohuo.

I think it would be better if I acted in it.

"No need, there is a special cleaner." Lu Chen saw Yang Mi's careful thinking, she deserved to be a very professional actress in the future, and she knew how to please her boss at a young age.

"Brother Xiaoyao, I'm fine anyway." Yang Mi enthusiastically cleaned up.

"Xiaomi!" Lu Chen tapped his finger on the table lightly, telling her to come over, "I will call you a post when I work in the future."

This Yang Mi originally had a special voice.

Shouting 'Brother Xiaoyao' is really easy to get goosebumps, so it's better to call Director Lu normal.

"Oh~" Yang Mi felt disappointed, calling her 'Brother Xiaoyao' was also to get closer.

"Go out and inform Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang to come to the office." Lu Chen ordered.

"Hmm!" Yang Mi had no choice but to go out and call for someone.

……

"Read the script well. Your roles in the movie are very important, and try to perform exceptionally well in the movie." Lu Chen gave Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang the scripts of "Crazy Stone" and "On the Journey".

"Director Lu, I..." Huang Bo was overwhelmed with excitement. He didn't expect to be able to play such an important role in the movie so soon. Director Lu himself directed it.

I was so grateful to Director Lu in my heart, I didn't know what to say to thank him for a while, anyway, any words of thanks could not express my gratitude to Director Lu in my heart.

"Brother Lu, I will definitely behave well." Wang Baoqiang was very excited, and another movie appeared, and he felt that Director Lu was his biggest benefactor.

"Director Lu, I will also perform well and live up to what you have taught me, Director Lu." Huang Bo's grateful expression almost made Lu Chen kneel and kowtow.

The same goes for Wang Baoqiang.

Unexpectedly, Brother Lu took such good care of him, and let him act in one movie after another.

"Read more scripts in the past few days, and imagine that you are the character in the play. This time the shooting time is very short, so we must strive to complete the task on time and avoid any accidents." Lu Chen urged.

Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang nodded heavily.

"Okay, you guys go out." Lu Chen picked up the phone and began to inform the "A World Without Thieves" working group that the last shot will be shot tomorrow.

Shooting is complete.

It's going to be post-production.

It's time to go to theaters.

This will also be his first commercial film.

There is still a trace of excitement in my heart.

I don't know how the final box office will be?
