Chapter 63 Ning Hao
"Well, Director Jiang, let's sign the contract." Lu Chen knew that Jiang Wen's personality was a bit unrestrained. If he agreed today, he might regret it tomorrow.
Once the contract is signed, it will at least be secure.
And the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" is full of big names.
As a director.
It must be coordinated.
Otherwise, if the big shot loses his temper, the movie won't be made.
In order for the filming of "Let the Bullets Fly" to go smoothly and for the entire crew to obey his instructions, Lu Chen had to ask Han Shanping to sit on the crew just in case.
"No problem." Jiang Wen didn't read the contract and signed his name on it. The main reason was that the line was so right, "I heard that Gong Li plays the female lead?"
"Yes." Lu Chen originally wanted to say that there were big names such as Gong Li, Ge You, Zhou Runfa, etc.
I didn’t expect Jiang Wen to agree so readily.
Jiang Wen opened the script and looked at a plot in it carefully, "Xiao Lu, there is a scene here, will you actually touch it?"
"It's really touching." Lu Chen told Gong Li about the plot of the movie. She was a little concerned, but she finally agreed, mainly because of Han Shanping's intervention.
It is impossible for Gong Li not to give face to the godfather of mainland movies.
As for this scene in the movie, there is no way to use a stand-in. There are not only close-up shots, but also mid-range shots. Both of them are in the shot. How to use a stand-in?
"As long as Gong Li doesn't have any objections, I don't have any objections either." The more Jiang Wen read the script, the more he liked it. He felt that the characters in it were tailor-made for him.
This Xiao Lu is too angry with himself.

Peiping, CCTV Building
This is the second building of CCTV.
The third Underpants Building is currently only a project and will not start construction until next year.
Lu Chen made a good deal with Jiang Wen, and talked to other actors about starring in the movie, and then came to the movie channel for an interview.
The program I participated in was "A Date with a Good Film".
Explain the movie "A World Without Thieves" released this year.
"A World Without Thieves" also jumped in the queue and appeared on the movie channel "Better Movies". The movie channel "Better Movies" also wanted Lu Chen to increase the ratings of the program.
Now Lu Chen is really famous and is loved by countless movie fans.
"Director Lu, now that "Crazy Stone" has been released in theaters, it has earned 86 million box office in the mainland and 12 million in Hong Kong." Host Zeng Zihang finished talking about "A World Without Thieves"
, started chatting about "Crazy Stone".
Although "A Better Date" is about "A World Without Thieves", the most important thing today is Director Lu, who is hailed as the future of mainland movies. We will definitely talk more about Director Lu.
As for "Crazy Stone", it is deeply loved by movie fans. There has never been such a wonderful black humor movie in mainland movies before.
It can be regarded as filling the gap in mainland movies.
"This is all due to the audience's support for me. Without the audience, "Crazy Stone" would not be able to achieve such good results." Lu Chen changed his tone, "I will have another movie "Unfortunate" to be released next.
If you have any audience friends who like it, you can go to the cinema to watch it."
Get on this show.
Just in time to promote "People on the Road".
The previous Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was not well publicized.
This is a solo interview now, so we must not miss this good opportunity.
"Director Lu, I heard that you and Mr. Ge You have guest appearances in the movie "Unfortunately"." Before Zeng Zihang conducted the interview, he also knew that he wanted to help promote the new movie.
As a host, he especially knows how to create topics, "I remember that the movie "Mobile Phone" directed by Director Feng will also be released in December, with Mr. Ge You as the starring role. Do you think "On the Road" can beat Feng at the box office?
The movie "Mobile Phone" directed by?"
"The box office of a movie is not something that individuals or institutions can control. This is the audience voting with their money. Who will win depends on which movie the audience likes more." Lu Chen knew there was a pitfall here, so he answered very formally.
Sometimes if you don’t answer well, you will be easily influenced.
"Director Lu, are you confident that you can win against Director Feng?" Zeng Zihang continued to ask this question.
One is a well-known director with rich experience, and the movie "Mobile Phone" also stars well-known mainland actors.
One is a rising star in the director's field who graduated from Beijing Film Academy this year. Most of the actors in the movie "Unfortunately" are new actors.
The two movies were released in the same month, which is indeed very topical.
China Film Brothers is an investor in these two movies.
The two brothers Wang Zhonglei originally wanted to release the two movies separately.
Of course Lu Chen would not agree. "On the Road" must be released before the Chinese New Year in order to achieve better box office results.
The two brothers Wang Zhonglei had no choice but to persuade Feng Xiaogang, and Feng Xiaogang would not avoid it. If this got out, he would be afraid that a new director who had just graduated would not be laughed at.
Therefore, both movies are released on December 12. Although they are on different days, they are in the same month. They will definitely collide and compete.
"I'm just a director. I only care about how to make good movies. I don't care about other aspects." Lu Chen will not let others set the pace.
Zeng Zihang was speechless when he heard Lu Chen say such nonsense seriously.
I want to say that you are not only a director, but also an investor, a film exporter and a producer. How could you not care about box office results?
Mars Film and Television has already gained fame due to the success of "Sword of Fairy", "A World Without Thieves" and "Crazy Stone".
Now, students from the acting departments of Beijing Film Academy, China National Theater, and Shanghai Theater Academy all want to join Mars Film and Television.
Because director Lu, the boss of Mars Film and Television, is a real admirer. He has filmed several works and made many newcomers popular, and even made pure newcomer Wang Baoqiang win the Golden Rooster Award for New Actor.
Who doesn’t love such a boss?
The newly established Mars Film and Television was no one interested in it, but now it is the best choice for acting students.
The Martian Film and Television Artist Contract has also entered the third edition. It is a real overlord contract. It is difficult to enter the company and even harder to leave the company. The company takes the lion's share of the income.
Of course, no matter how harsh the contract is, there are still countless acting students trying to get in. If they are chosen by Director Lu, they can fly up the branches and become a phoenix.
"Let's talk about "Unfortunate Journey" again." Lu Chen promoted the new movie when he had the opportunity, because he didn't want "Unfortunate Journey" to lose to the movie "Mobile Phone" directed by Feng Xiaogang.
"Director Lu, I heard that the filming period of "The Lost Road" was one day shorter than that of "Crazy Stone", only thirteen days. How did you do it?" Zeng Zihang stopped stirring up the topic and started
Help promote the new movie.
I am also afraid that Director Lu will be angry.
Although Director Lu is young, his status in the mainland director circle is not low, and he is the darling of the big bosses of film and television companies. Of course, he himself is also the boss of the well-known film and television company Mars Film and Television.

Changnian Building, Mars Film and Television
Lu Chen finished participating in the movie channel's "Good Film Date" yesterday, and came to the company to take a look when he had time today. Recently, many artists, screenwriters, and new directors have joined the company.
There is a stack of A4 paper on the table.
Each piece of A4 paper contains detailed information about an artist.
Lu Chen looked at each piece of paper, and he only looked at some pieces of paper for three seconds. The main reason was that his personal introduction had no highlights and was not worth cultivating.
"You can't go in, you can't disturb Mr. Lu's work." There was a quarrel outside.
At this time, the office door was pushed open.
Two people came in.
The man is about twenty-six years old.
The girl following him is Lu Chen’s female secretary.
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop him." The female secretary immediately apologized.
"Who forced their way into Director Lu's office?" At this time, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang and others who were in the company heard the commotion and came in with their things to start a fight. It was outrageous that anyone dared to disturb Director Lu.
"Director Lu, I am Ning Hao." The man who barged in quickly introduced, "I directed "Incense", and "Incense" won the gold medal at the Hong Kong International Film Festival and the Asian DV competition unit "Asia Digital Competition".
By the way, I graduated from the Photography Department of Beiping Film Academy in 1999."
I would like to introduce you to the 99-level photography department.
It is said that the directing department and the photography department are inseparable.
Director Zhang Yingmou came from the photography department of Beijing Film Academy.
Director Lu is from the 99th-level directing department, and he is from the 99th-level photography department, so he is still a classmate.
As for joining Mars Film and Television, I just want to meet Director Lu and invest in my own movie.
Only when I came to the company did I realize that Director Lu rarely came to the company, and he might not even see him once a month.
Director Lu was finally at the company and wanted to see him, but was stopped by his secretary.
Chapter completed!
