Big Brand Collection
The young girl wearing a cheongsam made tea, and her every move was extremely professional, waiting for the tea leaves to reach the best fusion level with the hot water.
He picked up the teapot and poured it into two purple clay tea cups. The heat instantly came out of the tea cup, and the fragrance was swelling. After doing all this, the cheongsam waitress got up and left the room, closed the door, and did not say a word throughout the process, but focused on her work.
"Tieguanyin, try it." Han Shanping and Lu Chen took their seats and savored the tea.
The fragrance comes into the mouth.
The fragrance cannot dissipate in the mouth for a long time.
After drinking tea, Lu Chen felt a little more comfortable. He had just drunkenly.
"Xiao Lu, do you have any ideas for a new movie?" Han Shanping was the first to finalize a new movie investment with Lu Chen.
Lu Chen put down the teacup and "had an idea."
"What subject?" Han Shanping asked.
"It's not easy to classify." Lu Chen's new movie is about to make "Let the Bullets Fly".
There seemed to be no such type of movie before. Violence? Not particularly violent. Comedy? There are many comedy elements in the movie, but it is not a real comedy. Action movie? There are many martial arts scenes in the movie, but they cannot be classified as action movies.
"Let the Bullets Fly" is a variety of new and all-inclusive movies, which are indeed difficult to classify into a certain genre.
Han Shanping was stunned for a moment. It was difficult to classify it? What was he going to do? "Is the background of the new movie modern, ancient, or a certain dynasty?"
A movie set in the Qin Dynasty.
Win 250 million box office.
It also allowed movies with ancient times to come into the eyes of investors and began to look forward to this type of movie.
"The background is set in the Republic of China period." Lu Chen has not written the script "Let the Bullets Fly" yet, and the main reason is that the time has not been spared. The bosses of major film and television companies have been following behind and urging them, which is a headache.
Han Shanping frowned when he heard the theme of the Republic of China. There is currently no commercial film on the market that is successful in the Republic of China background. "How much does it cost to invest in the movie?"
Lu Chen stretched out a finger and said, "Preliminary set to 100 million, if it is not enough, you have to add it."
Movies with investment of over 100 million yuan are themselves a promotional point.
Lu Chen didn't make a lot of money on this movie, the biggest goal of this movie was to break the record of "Titanic".
Want to make money.
It is completely possible to shoot "Crazy Stone" and "Lost in the Road" low-cost movies, with low investment and high returns.
However, Lu Chen still has his own pursuits.
Han Shanping was not much surprised by the investment of 100 million. This time, many bosses stared at Lu Chen. New movies must be invested in big investments. If they were like the previous two movies, with no investment amount of 5 million, they would definitely offend the bosses of the film and television company.
"Mr. Han, I know that an investment of 100 million is extremely risky." Lu Chen dispelled Han Shanping's concerns, "I will invest 50 million in Mars Film and Television."
Han Shanping's eyebrows stretched out. It seemed that Lu Chen was very confident, otherwise he would not have allowed Mars Film and Television to invest 50 million, "Huaguo Film Group invested 30 million."
Only 50 million.
Han Shanping couldn't ask for it all.
Besides, the investment is too big, and if you lose money, you can't explain it.
Huaguo Film Group is different from Huaguo Brothers.
If you lose too much and find it out, many people will hate themselves and offend a large group of people.
The release of the movie is more stable and it is basically very rare to lose money.
"Mr. Han, there is something I want you to help." Lu Chen thought for a long time before he decided to choose the heroine. "I want Gong Li to play the leading role in the movie. I want Mr. Han to help me talk to Gong Li."
The three male protagonists of "Let the Bullets Fly" remain unchanged.
Female characters are different.
Geng Li is the leading female lead and is currently a mainland movie star, so Gong Li has the biggest appearance in the cards.
This big production has clear goals.
There must be big names gathered.
Otherwise, how to break the record.
As for the second female lead, she must be a well-known actress in Xiangjiang.
Junior sister Liu Yifei and Lu Chen also arranged a role in the movie.
This is also the reason why the movie investment is big. If you hire so many big names, the pay alone is a considerable expense.
"Xiao Lu, it should be okay if you talk to yourself." Han Shanping thought that Lu Chen was young, but he was not the new director, the Golden Bear Award winner, and the commercial film "The World Without Thieves" won a box office of 220 million yuan.
Gong Li couldn't refuse Lu Chen's invitation, let alone this is a big production with an investment of over 100 million yuan. For the actors, they are all asking for acting. Although Gong Li has a big name, she can't be moved by the Golden Bear Award winner and a big production movie directed by a big production movie.
"Mr. Han, I have a close relationship with director Zhang Yingmou, so you can go better." Lu Chen knew that Gong Li and Zhang Yingmou had a breakup. The two have not worked together for several years since they collaborated on "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma Bridge".
Han Shanping immediately understood, "Okay, I'll talk about Gong Li. With Xiao Lu, you directed by Gong Li, Gong Li should not refuse."
Lu Chen and Han Shanping talked about the movie for a while, and then went out to continue celebrating the success of "The World Without Thieves" with everyone, but Lu Chen didn't stay in the banquet hall for a few minutes.
He was called out by Yang Sucheng of Yinghuang Group and talked alone for a while.
With the remaining 20 million, Yinghuang Group invested.
With these two large companies investing, Huaying Brothers is no longer qualified to join the market.
As for asking Yinghuang Group to invest, Lu Chen's attention to Yinghuang Group's resources in Xiangjiang is of great help to the release of the movie in Xiangjiang.
Lu Chen also asked Yang Sucheng to talk to Xiangjiang movie stars about participating in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly".
...
Rose Garden Villa in Peking
This period of time.
Lu Chen was at home and wrote the script of the movie "Let the Bullets Fly".
The more you write.
The movie "Let the Bullets Fly" is even more profound in my mind.
Let Lu Chen write more and more enjoyable.
Sometimes I forget to eat.
"Dongdong~" At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the door, and there was also Liu Ruyu's voice, "Xiaochen, can I come in?"
Lu Chen closed the laptop, got up and opened the door, "Auntie."
"Braised lion's head, plum vegetable squeezing pork, hand-pulled cabbage, boiled cabbage." Liu Ruyu held a plate with four dishes on it, including meat and vegetable, and a cup of pure milk.
"It's time for dinner again?" Lu Chen looked at his watch. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. It could be said that it was already past lunch time, and he forgot to write the script.
The main thing is the script "Let the Bullets Fly", which is so great and attractive, and it is very easy to forget to eat and sleep when written.
"Xiaochen, no matter what, you have to eat on time." Liu Ruyu reminded, "Only when you are in good health can you do more things you like."
"Besides, the script can be handed over to the company's screenwriters. There is no need to do it yourself. You can tell me a general direction and leave the rest of the work to them."
Today, Mars Film and Television has five screenwriters.
There is one who is also a gold medal screenwriter.
The adapted script of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was completed by the company's screenwriter.
"I have to complete the script of the new movie by myself." Lu Chen not only wrote the script, but also deepened the mark of the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" in his mind, and tried to perfectly present "Let the Bullets Fly" and even surpass the previous version.
"You can finish it alone, but you have to eat on time in the future. Well, eat it quickly so that the dishes will not get cold." Liu Ruyu put the dishes on the table, "After eating, I'll go down and Huang Bo and the others are in the hall."
"Heng Bo has something to do at home?" Lu Chen asked while eating, as for his aunt's cooking skills were as good as ever.
"Xiaochen, have you forgotten that you have another movie that is being screened in theaters?" Liu Ruyu should remind you carefully, "The Crazy Stone has been on theaters for a week, and the data has come out. Now the main actors of "Crazy Stone" are all here at home, thank you specifically."
The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival will also hold its opening ceremony in two days.
I need to remind me.
Don't forget to participate and offend the Film Association.
