Chapter 215 Single-handedly rewriting the history of Chinese special effects films(1/3)
"Thank you all for coming." Lu Chen came to the stage.
"Director Lu, "Transformers" will be released in mainland China and Hong Kong in ten days." The reporter from the film newspaper couldn't wait to ask, ""Transformers" is a movie for the world, and it is also popular among movie fans around the world.
Love it, how much box office do you think it will eventually achieve around the world?"
When asking.
Very excited.
The reporters and staff of the Film Newspaper are already loyal fans of Director Lu Chen.
Director Lu Chen is so awesome!
To achieve success in the global film industry at the age of less than thirty is unprecedented and unprecedented.
It has greatly improved the status of Chinese-language films in the world.
Let more Chinese-speaking filmmakers be known to movie fans around the world.
"I seem to have answered this question before." Lu Chen said with a smile: "I'm just a director. As for the box office, it's not something I can decide."
"It's the audience who vote with their money. If you like my movies, please come to the cinema to support me. I will definitely make more excellent movies to repay the audience friends who support me."
As soon as the words are finished.
The audience burst into warm applause.
As for director Lu Chen, he said it cannot determine the box office, but he disagrees.
Director Lu Chen is the owner of Jupiter Cinemas.
Jupiter Cinemas is now the largest private capital and holds the power to schedule movies.
"Director Lu, "The King of Kung Fu" brings together the most well-known Chinese stars." A reporter from the Entertainment News asked a new question, "There are Kung Fu superstars Chen Long and Jet Li in the movie, as well as Liu Yifei, whom you focus on cultivating. Why do you only
Being the director of a film should not be the chief director."
Everyone still knows that Lu Chen is definitely one of the top model workers in the director world.
Like other world-famous directors, one movie a year is already considered a high output, and most of them direct movies every two years, or three movies at a time.
Unlike director Lu Chen, who directed his own films, he started with two films a year.
As for serving as a film producer and participating in the creation of film stories, there are countless works.
The cast of "The King of Kung Fu" is very luxurious, and Director Lu's favorite Liu Yifei is not here to serve as the director. It is indeed a bit strange.
There is only one possibility, that is Director Lu, who still has projects on hand.
So reporters, let’s see if we can dig out any news about new works.
"I don't come to direct because Wu Ershan has outstanding director skills." Lu Chen waved and asked Wu Ershan to come to him so that he could have greater exposure. "The first movie "Far Cry"
With a box office of more than RMB 80 million, "Painted Skin" is now very likely to exceed RMB 200 million. Such excellent directing ability should be given a larger creative platform."
"Director Lu, you have trained me well. Without you, I would not be where I am today." Wu Ershan said, bowing deeply to Lu Chen in front of the media reporters.
I know that if it weren’t for Director Lu’s promotion, I would have had to wait until the year of the monkey to achieve what I have achieved today. If it weren’t for Director Lu, I might not have achieved this achievement twenty years later.
It even gave myself a global blockbuster.
Starring Chen Long, Li Lianjie, Liu Yifei, and Li Bingbing, it is a large-scale production with an investment of more than 50 million U.S. dollars and more than 400 million.
The famous fifth-generation directors Zhang Yingmou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang have not yet made a major production with an investment of more than 400 million, so what an honor it is for me.
"Director Lu, you have cultivated a new generation of outstanding Chinese film talents." The reporter from the film newspaper looked in admiration. Director Lu Chen has become the new godfather of the Chinese film industry.
The famous actors and directors in recent years are all from the Mars family.
Directors include: Ning Hao, Wu Ershan, Yang Lei, etc.
The actors include: Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Si Xiaohuadan, Liu Wei, Gao Yuanyuan, Li Bingbing, etc.
The Mars System has become the largest force in the Chinese film and television industry.
Not to mention Director Lu Chen, the big boss of the Mars series, has a strong connection in the film industry. He is even harder than the "Transformers" Autobots. Whose movie can be advertised on the Yangtze News Channel?
This is definitely the first person in the Chinese film industry.
The popular movie "Painted Skin" this month earned more than 200 million box office thanks to its excellent movie story.
Many film critics praised the story of the movie "Painted Skin", firstly because director Lu Chen is the first screenwriter of the movie, and secondly because the movie's story is really good.
Wu Ershan also said that the outline of the movie "Painted Skin" was written by director Lu Chen alone.
Director Lu Chen adapted a short story from "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" to be more in line with the audience's taste.
Moviegoers are particularly fond of the story of the ‘painted skin’ fairy.
There are elements such as fairies, love, and family affection in the movie. The integration of these elements is particularly good. The story of the movie is very logical and touching, which proves how strong the screenwriter is.
"Then you can interview more about this outstanding talent in Chinese-language films." Lu Chen pulled Wu Ershan to stand in the middle and left early.
Let’s leave the interview to the main creators of “The King of Kung Fu”.
As for my main time, I have to focus on the release of "Transformers".
"Transformers" has invested over 100 million U.S. dollars. As the largest investor, Mars Film and Television can wait for the release of "Transformers" to withdraw funds.
……
2006, May 4
The crew of the movie "The King of Kung Fu"
"Transformers" has been released in mainland China for three days.
Lu Chen is staying on the set at this time and has a separate office in the set.
I originally didn’t want to be on the set.
But Universal Pictures Doug has always been on the set.
If he only attends the opening ceremony and leaves, he is afraid that Doug will think that he is cheating Universal Pictures. After getting the money, he will stop filming the movie.
Although "Painted Skin" directed by Wu Ershan eventually achieved a box office of 230 million in the mainland, the total box office of the two films in the mainland has reached 300 million, making him a very successful director.
But my qualifications are too young and I have never won a major film festival award.
"The King of Kung Fu" has Chen Long and Li Lianjie. I was afraid that Wu Ershan would be under too much pressure, which would affect the quality of the film. I was present in the early stages of filming, so Wu Ershan would be much less stressed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Another reason is that when Chen Long and Li Lianjie were invited to participate in the film, they said that they would be the producers of the film. If they left on the second day after filming started.
These two kung fu superstars must not feel that they have been deceived.
So anyway, Lu Chen had to stay on the set for a while and keep an eye on the filming progress. Except for a trip to the premiere of "Transformers" in the mainland, he spent the rest of the time on the set of "The King of Kung Fu".
p>
I have been on the set for half a month now and plan to leave the set tomorrow.
I also have to go abroad to attend the premiere of "Transformers" in Europe, the United States and other countries, and discuss the final matters of "Iron Man" and prepare to shoot "Iron Man".
"Dong dong~" At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in!" Lu Chen looked up and saw a girl coming in, carrying a teapot, and pushed the tea cup out.
Continue to look at the documents on the table.
Staying on the set of "The King of Kung Fu".
Although he is keeping an eye on the progress of the filming, he will not interfere too much. Wu Ershan has been given great power, so there won't be many things.
When I'm free, I'm in the crew's office, preparing the Olympic opening ceremony program, as well as the entire opening ceremony process, including the total duration of the opening ceremony.
These are all things that I, the chief director of the Olympic Games, am responsible for.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Director Lu." The teapot water poured on Lu Chen's pants.
This shocked Lu Chen. If this was burned, I don’t know how many actresses would be in tears all day long. "Bingbing? Why is it you, my assistant?"
No wonder he lowered his head just now to prevent his face from being seen. It turned out to be Li Bingbing.
Also, the water in the teapot is always wet.
Not hot at all.
However, Lu Chen was really shocked just now. When water was poured on his pants, he didn't feel hot at all. He thought he was over-burned and lost consciousness.
At that time, I deliberately felt it, and when I felt it, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Director Lu, I thought that I don't have a role today, so I want to come and serve you." Li Bingbing said, about to take off Lu Chen's pants, "Director Lu, your pants are wet, let me help you take them out
Dry."
"What are you waiting for? I'm not a big boss." Lu Chen saw Li Bingbing's little thoughts and said, "As for you, you have your work, and the assistant also has the assistant's work. The company pays wages, and you do her work.
Did the company fire her or give you an extra salary?"
Have an idea.
Yes.
