I'm the man behind the big stars

Chapter 129

After hearing Lu Chen's question, Chen Chuan replied, "It's about to be cut out, there are still about two days left."

Now Lu Chen is looking forward to the box office of "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance". This movie is not played by any big stars, and there are some artists whose acting skills are not particularly good.

At this time, Chen Chuan asked: "Are you also planning to release this movie in online cinemas?"

The siege and interception of the Film Association has brought Chenyin a lot of trouble. Chen Chuan also knows this, so he wants to see if Lu Chen has any intention of compromising. Open up, if he doesn't compromise, then Chenyin's movies will never be released in theaters. Not only will the movies not be released in theaters, but even Chenyin's TV series may not have TV stations or video broadcasting websites to buy copyrights. This is the biggest problem. trouble.

Lu Chen replied at this time: "Yes."

"After all, the profit margins of online movie theaters are not small."

Two months after Westward Journey's box office was settled, Lu Chen and the others also won nearly [-] million box office for Westward Journey. According to the method of movie theaters, maybe after the movie's release period ends, there will be no follow-up box office. At most Sell ​​the copyright to a video playback website or TV station in exchange for a copyright fee of [-] million or [-] million yuan.

Furthermore, the current film and television bureau stipulates that Lu Chen and the others only settle the box office of the first two months as the basis for paying taxes and paying the special film fund. Subsequent film box office does not need to pay film taxes and special film funds. This is for Lu Chen and the others. Said it was very profitable.

The Film and Television Bureau has not yet made new regulations, so it is necessary to seize this opportunity, exploit more loopholes, and earn more money.

After listening to Lu Chen's answer, Chen Chuan smiled and said, "You guys are brave enough."

Under the background of the film association and the entire industry to suppress, Lu Chen still dared to release the film on the online cinema. Once Lu Chen did this this time, he would definitely be sanctioned more severely by the entire industry.

"By the way, you said you have something to do with me today, what's the matter?" Chen Chuan asked.

Lu Chen immediately took out a printed script and handed it to Chen Chuan.

"Director Chen, I found a very good script on the script website, please help me to see if it is worth shooting."

Chen Chuan took the script and looked carefully, his brows frowned quickly, and then asked: "Your script was written by Chen Lu?"

Chen Chuan naturally knew that Chen Lu was Lu Chen, but because Shi Yin was at the side, and Lu Chen didn't seem to want Shi Yin to know that he was the screenwriter, so he didn't ask Lu Chen directly.

Lu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "No, I found it on a script website."

"This script is very good! Who is its screenwriter?" Chen Chuan asked.

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but his online name seems to be Fengchen."

Hearing this name, Chen Chuan froze for a moment, then looked at Lu Chen suspiciously.

Dust?

dust?
Now that he heard the same pronunciation as "Chen", he suspected that it was Lu Chen's vest, not to mention that this script is a typical overhead world view, very similar to Lu Chen's script style, even the world view is very similar.

But since Lu Chen didn't want to say who it was, he couldn't ask. He just said, "This script is very good, it has great potential, and it can be filmed."

Hearing this, Lu Chen showed a smile, and then asked, "Director Chen, do you have any other plans for the next few months?"

Ok?
Lu Chen's question aroused Chen Chuan's vigilance, and he said with a smile, "You guys won't want me to guide you again, will you?"

Lu Chen said helplessly: "There is no way, many directors don't cooperate with us now."

In fact, Xingkong Culture has a contracted director. Lu Chen is not unable to find a director, but Lu Chen intends to let the director of Xingkong Culture make some scripts that he is not very optimistic about. The good scripts are reserved for the big directors. The film and television dramas filmed have additional popularity bonuses.

Chen Chuan asked again: "How many episodes does this TV series have?"

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "About 33 episodes."

Chen Chuan continued to ask: "Is there any place that is particularly difficult to shoot?"

Lu Chen probably guessed what Chen Chuan wanted to ask, so he replied:
"This is a fairy tale drama, and there must be many places that are difficult to shoot in it, so it takes a certain amount of time to shoot."

The Xianxia drama is different from the previous comedies. The previous ordinary comedy can be filmed in one place. This Xianxia drama involves many locations, so it has to go to all parts of the country to shoot scenes and travel across the country, so the shooting time must be limited. Significantly more than other TV shows.

Chen Chuan thought for a while, and then said: "I'm going to be a judge at the film festival in January, and I'm worried that the filming may not be finished."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was a little surprised, and then asked, "Director Chen, are you going to be a judge too? Is it true? Didn't you say that the Film and Television Bureau will only invite directors from the two major groups?"

Lu Chen gave up participating in the film festival precisely because of what Chen Chuan said at the beginning. Chen Chuan said that only films made by companies under the two major groups, Shimei and Luying, can win the Jinhua Award, because the directors are basically from these two companies, so Lu Chen Only then did Chen replace the heroine of "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance".

As a result, Chen Chuan was actually able to be a judge. Does that mean that they actually have the hope of winning the Jinhua Award at the film festival?

Although "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" has changed the heroine, they have still registered their names and will still participate in the selection of the film festival.

Chen Chuan said at this time: "Generally, the film and television bureau only invites directors from the two major groups. This is because good directors basically sign contracts with these two major groups, but there are exceptions."

Lu Chen asked suspiciously: "Then Director Chen, why haven't you been a judge at a film festival before?"

It stands to reason that Chen Chuan's influence is not weaker than that of any well-known domestic director. He is the most qualified to be a film festival judge, but Lu Chen has read the list of film festival judges every year before. Chuan's name.

"I have always existed as an actor in the film and television industry. Even though I have directed dozens of good film and television dramas, because of the roles I have played in these film and television dramas, people still think that my main job is an actor, but Because I didn’t take any role this year, and the director’s The Unruly Princess and Journey to the West became popular, so my directorship was accepted by more people, and the film and television bureau invited me to be a judge.”

In previous years, Chen Chuan basically stood on the podium, so he couldn't be a judge, and he couldn't judge himself. But this year is different. He didn't take the role this year. His identity is only a director, and he directed several films He has not acted in any film and television drama.

At this time, Chen Chuan continued: "It's already late September, and there are still about three months left. I don't know if we can finish the filming."

Lu Chen roughly estimated the time in his heart, and then said, "If you turn it on as soon as possible, it should be fine."

Chen Chuan said with a smile at this time: "It's not impossible for you to ask me to accept this TV series, but you have to tell me where the script came from."

Lu Chen replied: "It's from a website called Sky Script Network. Director Chen, you can search the Internet when you have time. There are many good scripts on it."

Sky Script Network?
Chen Chuan thought for a while, he didn't seem to have heard of this website, but this is also normal, there are many websites he has never heard of.

Seeing that Lu Chen still didn't want to admit that he wrote the script, Chen Chuan didn't continue to ask, but agreed: "Okay, I'll accept your play, so have you decided on the roles of the hero and heroine?"

Lu Chen replied, "It's settled."

Chen Chuan asked: "Is it settled? Is it an artist from Xingkong Culture?"

Lu Chen replied, "No, it's just me and Shi Yin."

Hearing Lu Chen's answer, Shi Yin and Chen Chuan were startled.
