Chapter 9 The Seventh Art of the World

"Who will wait?" Lu Chen was curious.

"I don't know either." Zhang Yingmou said with a smile: "You will know when you get off the plane. There may be a new movie contract at the airport, waiting for you."

For this junior brother.

Very optimistic.

There will definitely be something great in the future.

"Brother Lu, then I'll wait for your new drama." Wang Baoqiang expressed his attitude, knowing that Brother Lu is optimistic about him.

Zhang Yingmou was curious why Lu Chen valued this rural kid Wang Baoqiang very much.

His image must not be very good. I have also watched "Blind Well". He is a true performer in the movie. He can't tell his good acting skills, but it is difficult to ask in front of others.

But I care about more important things, "Xiao Lu, I see that you have been writing scripts these days. How come you have a new goal? What subject matter can you disclose?"

"The fantasy theme of ancient costume fairy tale." When Lu Chen won the award, he asked his aunt to help contact Baodao's "Dayu Information" game company and won the film and television adaptation rights of the game "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

It seems that the Golden Bear Award winner.

This title.

Still useful.

Not only to win.

The price is not high, less than a million.

"Fantasy Fantasy?" Zhang Yingmou did not expect, "Xiao Lu, are you sure you want to make this type of movie? The fairy movie "New Shushan Swordsman" of Director Xu back then lost all his underwear. Although the movie is classic, he lost money. This is a taboo in the film industry, especially a new director like you."

In 1983, the total investment of "New Shushan Swordsman" reached nearly 90 million. When it was released, it was 20 million yuan in mainland China and less than 12 million yuan in Xiangjiang, which was the most serious Waterloo in Director Xu's career.

Xiao Lu is different from Director Xu.

Although I won the Golden Bear Award, I only have one work.

If the second part loses too much.

It may ruin your career.

I think Xiao Lu's second film should be made with the same realistic theme or standard commercial film, so he should first stabilize his position.

Don't be so aggressive.

As soon as you get started, you will encounter Xianxia, ​​a big investment movie that requires special effects.

It’s okay to succeed, but failure means you will never be able to recover.

When you succeed in the future, you can touch it. If you fail, you will not ruin your career.

"Director Zhang, my next TV series is not a movie," Lu Chen explained.

"What did you say? TV series?" Zhang Yingmou really thought he heard it wrong, "Xiao Lu, are you sure you are not kidding?"

Win the top international award.

Turn around and shoot a TV series?

The entire film industry has never been there.

This is the first one.

Besides, as a student from the Director Department of Beijing Film Academy, that one is not arrogant.

Just left society.

Never touch a TV series.

Only after being in society for several years and having no show to film, will I be forced to film TV series for the sake of my livelihood.

After all, movies are known as the seventh art in the world.

It's something that even TV series can't catch up.

Sometimes if you shoot too many TV series, you won’t even find you.

This is a self-reduction of the punctuality.

"Director Zhang, I'm not kidding." Lu Chen's expression was very serious.

"Xiao Lu, has someone promised you a lot of money to film TV series?" Zhang Yingmou thought for a while. Xiao Lu's family was not short of money, not to mention that he sold "Blind Well" for 40 million yuan, and with the tax, he was left with more than 30 million yuan.

"Director Zhang, I have my own plans." Lu Chen wanted to film "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to plan for the upcoming company, and there are too few roles in the movie.

Not like a TV series.

There are plenty of roles for actors to play.

The company was established.

There must be a show to shoot, otherwise who will join?

Moreover, Lu Chen also plans to gain his reputation on Treasure Island with the drama "Sword of Fairy", which can become a prevalent TV series on Treasure Island.

As long as you direct and participate in the performance, you will definitely be well-known to everyone in the treasure island.

Prepare for the future movies to win good box office results on Baodao.

The total box office in mainland China last year was only about one billion.

It's not as many movies as in later generations.

For example, the movie "Hero" released at the end of last year was no matter how outstanding it was and how spectacular the scene was, and the domestic box office was only more than 200 million, and it still broke countless records.

Now that the country has just joined the WTO, the economy is still in its infancy.

Some people cannot enter the cinema, no matter how good your movie is.

So you can't just focus on the mainland market.

The mainland market is temporarily unable to support the investment of a top blockbuster.

Other markets must be needed.

Baodao has a population of more than 20 million, and with a good economy, the proportion of people entering movies is much higher than that in the mainland. Such a large market needs to be grasped well.

Lu Chen's father is rich, but movies are comparable to burning money, especially top blockbusters. If you lose a few movies, the father and son have to really dig coal to pay off their debts.

"Xiao Lu, you are a top student in the director department and the winner of this year's Golden Bear Awards. Go and shoot TV series..." Zhang Yingmou had nothing to describe this behavior.

This is not digging the ground with a golden hoe.

This is a waste of the Golden Bear Award trophy.

"Director Zhang, after filming the TV series, I will make a movie." Lu Chen already had a pre-selected movie in his mind. "There is no thief in the world", so he wanted to make Baoqiang popular.

Let everyone show you that as long as you join your own company and have strong strength, you will definitely become popular and attract more celebrity artists to join.

"Xiao Lu..." Zhang Yingmou felt that Lu Chen should not touch TV series, but seeing that he was so determined, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lu Chen insisted on doing it as planned.

Let’s talk about the Golden Bear Award winner.

Turn your head to shoot a TV series.

It comes with its own heat.

This is exactly the effect you want to make "Sword of Fairy" more popular than the previous life

"Hello, dear travelers, friends, Peking is about to arrive. Please fasten your seat belt. The current temperature in Beijing is 5 degrees. Please keep your passengers warm..." At this time, the gentle voice of the flight attendant came from the radio.

First class flight attendants.

I came to the passengers, squatted down, and fastened my seat belts for everyone.

One cent, one cent service.

It’s good to have money to serve.

As for the stewardess who wears Lu Chen's seat belt, his eyes are gentle, and they are going to melt Lu Chen into his eyes, which is a typical expression of emotions.

Lu Chen made an appointment with the young flight attendant tonight and had a good chat about art.

...

Ten minutes later, the plane landed safely at Peking International Airport

"Dear travelers and friends, the aircraft cabin door cannot be opened for the time being. Please do not leave your seat and be calm. The engineers are working hard to repair it." A voice came from the radio again.

But Lu Chen was frightened. Don’t have any trouble. No one can survive if something happens. But when he thought that he had already landed safely, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Zhang, please come with me." At this time, a flight attendant came forward.

Lu Chen stood up and followed. When he saw the open hatch door, didn’t he say the door couldn’t be opened?

At this time, a 01 Audi A6 parked under the plane.

"Xiao Lu, it seems that at the airport, there is a big man who wants to see you." Zhang Yingmou saw the license plate and had already guessed who it was. He could drive the car under the plane. There were only a few big shots in the entire movie industry.

"It's good to be a big shot." Lu Chen sighed, feeling even more determined to struggle.

You will also enjoy this special treatment in the future.

When Lu Chen and Zhang Ying got into the car, the car drove directly to the airport VIP reception room. The distance was not very far, and it was a matter of kicking the accelerator, but this kind of ritual was needed.
