Chapter 174 Filmmakers must have national borders!(1/3)
..........
Lu Chuan!
The first "leading figure of the new generation of directors" in the media's mouth.
His rise to fame has been smooth sailing, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is at the peak of his career.
At the age of 27, Lu Chuan received his master's degree and began to write and direct his own films.
The movie "Black Hole" came out of nowhere and left a strong mark in the history of film and television dramas.
At the age of 31, Lu Chuan wrote his own script "Looking for a Gun" in an attempt to complete the transition from a television director to a film director.
He succeeded!
Director Han, the big and small Wang brothers, and several big names in the film field all stepped in to help set up the stage and personally served as the producers of "Looking for the Gun".
In order to give Lu Chuan a head start, the bosses even hired the famous director Jiang Wen to play the leading role and also serve as the film's producer.
Everyone knows its purpose!
Jiang Min joined to support Lu Chuan and protect Brother Lu, who has the reputation of being a "talented director".
Lu Chuan was very happy, very happy!
That's Jiang Min, deigning to be the leading actor for him!
He is extremely ambitious and vows to produce an excellent work to prove to his predecessors who are optimistic about him and to tell them that they have chosen the wrong person.
However, Lu Chuan never imagined that a project that countless people were optimistic about would be the beginning of his life's downfall.
Do you dare to imagine!
In the 1990s, when there was no trace of capital, as a film director, Lu Chuan was unable to control the filming of the film!
In the crew, Jiang Min has the final say!
The domineering Jiang Min taught Master Lu, who was directing a film for the first time, a good lesson.
This is how movies should be made!
The result was gratifying and the movie was a success.
With a box office of more than 9 million, it ranks ninth in the annual box office list of Chinese-language films.
Lu Chuan became an instant hit and was in the limelight.
Awards followed, including Best Debut at the College Student Film Festival, Best Film in Chinese Film Media, and many other awards.
The media reported wildly and dubbed him the 'leading figure of the new generation of directors'!
However, only Lu Chuan himself knew how aggrieved he felt in his heart.
These awards and honors are not unique to him.
Behind him, there was Jiang Wen!
Faced with the praise and doubts from the outside world, Lu Chuan was extremely depressed and vowed to make a movie that he made his own decisions.
In 2004, "Kekexili" was released.
The box office was a hit.
The awards are considerable.
Lu Chuan was resurrected with full blood.
Wang Xiaowang comforted him, don't care so much about box office for literary and artistic films.
Wang Zhonglei even said at the wine table that Hua Yi would fully support Lu Chuan's next movie.
At that time, "Hero" came out, and commercial films gradually became mainstream.
Lu Chuan listened to Wang Zhonglei's persuasion and plunged into commercial films with gratitude and ambition.
Once you enter, it will take five years!
In 2009, Lu Chuan finally prepared the project of "Nanjing Nanjing".
This movie can be considered troubled. It took countless hours and dozens of draft changes just to get it through review.
After the script was finalized, China Film Left Arm went on to watch. Director Han, who had supported him, politely declined the investment after reading the script.
After several unsuccessful searches for investment, Lu Chuan came to Huayi and found his former good brother Wang Zhonglei.
80 million investment, Hua Yi fully agreed!
After reading the script, Wang Zhongjun directly invited Director Tan from Xingmei Group to invest together.
After some exchanges, Xingmei became the main investor in "Nanjing Nanjing", while Huayi only held 30% of the share and also enjoyed the distribution rights of the film.
To be honest, when Fang Ziheng learned the news, he couldn't help but sigh that the two brothers, Wang and Wang, were really shrewd.
It not only satisfied Lu Chuan's expectations, but also shared the risks of the movie, and at the same time sold a favor to Xingmei Group, which wanted to participate in the movie.
In his last life, he thought that only Huayi's family was investing, but he didn't expect that there was a Xingmei Group hidden behind it.
No wonder "Nanjing Nanjing" was released with such a high number of films in the first two days.
You know, Star America Cinemas, a subsidiary of Star America Group, is currently the number one theater giant in the country.
Wanda Cinema Line has developed so fast that it took 13 years to surpass Star America and become the number one cinema giant in the country.
With Xingmei's investment, the filming of "South View, South View" will soon begin.
After ten months of filming, it was finally time to meet the audience.
………
Wangfujing, the imperial capital.
Diagonally opposite Xingmei Cinemas, on the top floor of a five-star hotel.
Lu Chuan, wearing a straight suit, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the dimly lit bustling city below him.
Behind him, the beautiful Qin Lan was dressed in a black evening dress, with her hair tied high in a bun, looking very graceful.
"Six years to sharpen a sword!"
"Six years, I've been waiting for six whole years!"
"I don't want to say how awesome I am, I just want to tell the world how I got here in the past six years."
"hehe.."
"How many six years does a movie mean in life?"
Lu Chuan laughed at himself and sighed with unspeakable emotion.
After sighing with emotion, he turned around and took the red wine from Qin Lan's hand, raised his neck and drank it in one gulp.
"Lan Lan, tonight, I will definitely get back my glory!"
"Lan Lan deserves half of your contribution to the glorious military medal!"
"I trust you!"
Qin Lan Yingying raised her glass and smiled sweetly, as tenderly as water.
"Let's go over, there are already guests arriving!"
"Let's go."
After checking the time, Lu Chuan took Qin Lan downstairs, met the film's creators, and took a bus to Xingmei Cinema diagonally opposite.
The movie theater is two kilometers away.
Fang Ziheng, Lin Feifei, and Wu Jing were on the road, moving slowly along with the crowded vehicles.
Wu Jing was driving, and Fang Ziheng and Lin Feifei were sitting in the back seat.
Behind the Audi A6 were three Mercedes-Benz S600s, and several artists from Hengyu in Beijing also attended tonight's premiere.
Thirty minutes later, the motorcade arrived at Xingmei Cinemas.
Outside Xingmei Cinemas, a long red carpet ran from the entrance to the inner area. Both sides of the red carpet were filled with flowers and tripod posters.
Fang Ziheng got out of the car and said calmly: "There are quite a few people here!"
"A movie co-produced by Xingmei and Huayi will definitely attract a lot of people."
Lin Feifei got out of the car gracefully, glanced at the crowded crowd outside the theater, raised a smile and said.
Lu Chuan's first commercial film, many industry insiders and celebrities came to support it.
