Chapter 283 World Director No.1

Mars Film and Television, reception room
"Thank you!"

The men and women in the reception room expressed their gratitude to the female staff member who served the tea.

Everyone sat, waiting for the upcoming director Lu Chen.

Their expressions were extremely excited, waiting to see the No. 1 young director in the world, the No. 1 Chinese film director, and the Grand Slam winner of Best Director at the Mainland Film Festival.

"I just saw Director Ning Hao on Mars Film and Television." Peng Damo, the stage play director who spoke exactly like Kaixin Mahua, said with admiration in his eyes.

Regarding Ning Hao's recently released "No Man's Land", I watched it three times in the cinema and analyzed the ideas expressed in the film as well as the filming techniques.

"I also saw Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, and Chen Kun." Shen Teng, the stage actor next to Happy Flower, said with a hint of excitement.

Nowadays, Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo and others are outstanding young actors in Chinese films and have well-known film masterpieces.

Ma Li, who was sitting next to Shen Teng, also started talking. When she came in just now, she saw that there are currently well-known young actresses in the Chinese film industry.

"This is the Mars department, the future of Chinese-language films. The people here are all the best in Chinese-language films." Zhang Chen, the boss of Kaixinmahua, said with envy.

I thought, if it’s my own happiness, I’ll spend it.

Having two or three well-known mainland movie stars participating in their own drama performances will definitely boost consumption, increase income from drama performances, and make life less miserable.

Zhang Chen remembered that it had been four years since Happy Flower was established.

I have never had a prosperous life, and I have been on the verge of bankruptcy several times. Sometimes there are only a few audiences watching a drama performance. Fortunately, it is not like this every time.

In some cities, ticket sales are pretty good, and in the end we can barely make ends meet.

Of course these hard days are now a thing of the past.

Because I am happy that the flower list is on Mars Film and Television.

In the past two years, Zhang Chen has been looking for investors and big bosses for Kaixinhua. He understands that if Kaixinhua wants to develop and grow, it must have capital to enter the game.

But it has always been unsatisfactory. Large capital investors are unwilling to invest in the company. They feel that Happy Mehua has little future, poor liquidity, and long return on investment.

But this year the light finally came.

After being attracted by Mars Film and Television, they injected funds to control Happy Flower and became the largest shareholder.

At that time, Mars Film and Television became a shareholder. Zhang Chen was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. In the three months since he was bought as a shareholder, he was full of fighting spirit. Being on Mars Film and Television's list means it has higher exposure.

When Mars Film and Television invests in shares, it is impossible to just give money and not give any preference in resources, otherwise the investment money will be wasted.

Zhang Chen has always wanted Mars Film and Television to let leading movie stars act in plays, even one, which can greatly increase their popularity.

But it was never approved.

The main reason is that I can’t see the real person in charge of Mars Film and Television.

Mars Film and Television has acquired and invested in countless small companies, and those who come into contact with the heads of these companies are usually at the level of managers of the Mars Film and Television department.

It is not the core management of Mars Film and Television at all.

But today is different.

Zhang Chen suddenly received news that director Lu Chen, the boss of Mars Film and Television, wanted to meet them at the company. The group of people came dressed neatly and came early in the morning and were waiting in the living room.

"You said Director Lu, why do you want to see us?" Shen Teng first raised his doubts. It has been more than three months since Mars Film and Television became the largest shareholder of Happy Me Hua.

Mr. Zhang could not meet the top ten management of Mars Film and Television at all.

It's so puzzling to suddenly see the biggest boss now.

"Could it be our Director Peng?" Zhang Chen, the founder of Kaixinhua, looked at Peng Damo and joked, "Our Director Peng graduated from the Peking Film Academy and is an alumnus of Director Lu."

Everyone in the Chinese film industry knows that those who graduate from the Peking Film Academy will receive considerable special care at Mars Film and Television.

The four actresses are all from the acting department of Peking Film Academy, including the three giants of Mars Film and Television. Ning Hao, Wu Ershan, and Yang Lei all graduated from Peking Film Academy.

"It turns out that we all took advantage of Director Peng." Happy and the others surrounded Peng Damo one by one. Of course, everyone was joking.

We often perform dramas together and we are all very good friends.

"Don't flatter me. There are so many people at the Peking Film Academy, and Director Lu and I have never met. How can it be because of me? I don't have such a big reputation." Peng Damo was so embarrassed by being said .

Director Lu is the ultimate idol in his heart.

There is a huge mountain in my heart that cannot be climbed.

Peng Damo felt particularly honored to be able to meet Director Lu.

While the members of Happy Flower were chatting and joking, suddenly the door of the reception room was opened.

The female secretary pressed her body against the door, and Lu Chen walked in from the outside.

All the staff at Happy Mehua stopped talking in an instant, suppressed the smiles on their faces, stood up one by one, stood upright, and respectfully called, "Director Lu!"

Now Director Lu is considered everyone’s boss.

Happy Flower already belongs to Mars Film and Television, and we are also Mars artists, but we are not movie actors, nor TV drama actors, but drama actors.

"Everyone, sit down." Lu Chen sat down at the head of the long table.

It was only in the past two days that Lu Chen found out that Mars Film and Television controlled Happy Flower.

Of course it's also because it's a small thing.

Regarding other projects of Mars Film and Television, it is impossible to specifically report to the big boss of the company when holding a small company, because there are countless such things.

Lu Chen only learned about this after seeing the documents about the company's investment.

I plan to come here specially to meet the Happy Mehua team.

In the previous life, the Kaixinhua team was still quite famous. After the success of the first movie "Charlotte Trouble", Kaixinhua has made a splash in the mainland film industry. Later, "Donkey Gets Water", "Shy" Iron Fist" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" both achieved very good box office results.

However, the glory did not last long. After that, Happy Flower slowly went downhill.

Zhang Chen and Happy Flower stage actors Shen Teng, Ma Li and others sat down one after another. They sat upright and looked at Lu Chen, who was in the first place, full of excitement. This time, he saw Director Lu himself, but at a close distance.

"What's the profit from your stage play, and is there a big audience?" Lu Chen asked Zhang Chen, the boss of Happy Flower.

"Director Lu, the current revenue can sometimes reach profitability. As for some city shows, the audience is particularly large, and the attendance rate is almost over 80.00%." ​​Zhang Chen said.

It is impossible to say that Happy Mehua is not yet able to achieve profitability, as some shows have very few viewers.

You must choose a good one so that Director Lu can give Yu Xinxinhua more support.

If Director Lu had the support, Zhang Chen thought, Happy Flower would definitely be able to take off.

"Director Lu, if Mars Film and Television can lend us a few popular movie stars to star in stage plays and increase their popularity." Peng Damo, the director of the Happy Flower stage play, sounded like a military order, "We will definitely be able to achieve the goal of all-round success." It will make a profit every year, and tickets for stage plays will be sold out by then.”

Knowing that it was difficult for Mr. Zhang to talk about this matter, Peng Damo thought that he could only speak for himself.

Stage plays now demand attention.

Mars Film and Television has some of the most well-known movie stars in the country.

Of course, Kaihua couldn't afford the remuneration, so he had to borrow it, anyway, from the head office. As long as Director Lu nodded, there would be no problem at all.

Besides, now that the controlling stake of Happy Me Hua is in the hands of Mars Film and Television, they will definitely help. Most of the profits of Happy Me Hua belong to Mars Film and Television.

"What stage play is there now?" Lu Chen continued to ask, without answering the other party's words. "'If You Want to Eat Twist, I'll Twist It for You Now' is our first stage play." Shen Teng replied, "After that, there will be "Axiang", "French Dinner for Two", "No One Can Laugh", etc. stage show."

Looking at the landing guide, I was very excited.

I fantasize about how great it would be if I could star in Director Lu's movie.

As a stage actor, I definitely want to act in movies.

The audience for stage plays is limited. Due to the venue, it is impossible for a stage play to have more than [-] audience members.

But movies are different. They are played on the big screen, and the minimum number of viewers watching is in the tens of thousands. If it is a movie directed by Lu, the minimum number of viewers must be tens of millions.

"Director Lu, if you give us more resources to support us, the stage play will definitely be successful." Zhang Chen, the owner of Happy Flower, proactively requested, knowing that this opportunity would be rare.

There are so many people who want to see Director Lu, but now we can see him.

We must let Director Lu trust everyone and give us more support.

The other stage actors in the Happy Me Flower team also wanted to ask Director Lu to trust them, but they didn't say anything. If everyone spoke up, they wouldn't talk at once, which would disturb Director Lu and reduce their impression points.

They all looked at Director Lu one by one, waiting to see what Director Lu would say. Now the fate of everyone in the room was in Director Lu's hands.

Lu Chen rubbed his chin and thought, "Don't you want attention? In this way, I will give you the rights to adapt the movie "Crazy Stone" into a stage play, and I will arrange to star in "Crazy Stone" Yang Mi, accompanying you Starring, including some of the original cast of "Crazy Stone."

Huang Bo and Xu Zheng definitely can’t.

This doesn't make sense commercially.

Speaking of stage plays, the main thing is to have the actors from the stage play Happy Me Hua.

The reason why Yang Mi was arranged was to practice her acting skills.

Anyway, Yang Mi has no work to star in now, so she has nothing to do. I arranged for her to act in a drama. Firstly, she can polish her acting skills. Secondly, since she has a job, she won't send herself messages every day and won't think randomly at home.

"Thank you, Director Lu." Zhang Chen, Kaixin Mahua and the others were very excited.

It would be nice to see Director Lu.

Directly arranged for Yang Mi, one of the four young actresses, to star in the drama, boosting the popularity of the stage play.

Moreover, Director Lu also gave up the rights to adapt "Crazy Stone", which he directed and released in 03.

The name "Crazy Stone" alone is inherently popular. I believe that if the stage play of "Crazy Stone" is released, the popularity will be very high.

Everyone is very happy. This is the benefit of a large company on the list. Its resources are suddenly so good.

"If you want to truly perform your stage play and let more people know about it, you still have to perform more." Lu Chen continued to support, "The company will support you and tour the country."

Lu Chen specially came to meet the Happy Me Hua team, because Happy Me Hua was famous in his previous life.

No matter how well-known it is, it cannot be compared with the current Mars Film and Television.

Special opinion.

Lu Chen is a fan of stage actors like Shen Teng, Ma Li and others.

The most important thing is that stage plays are a platform that can train actors.

Lu Chen plans to build Happy Flower into a training platform for new Martian film and television artists. He will first hone himself in stage plays for a period of time before appearing in film and television works.

Stage plays are the best platform to hone your acting skills.

Now that we have Happy Flower, we can just throw the actors we are interested in to hone their acting skills.

"Director Lu, we will work hard to perform well and will never embarrass Mars Film and Television." Shen Teng, Ma Li and other stage actors immediately issued a military order.

I was very excited inside.

With Director Lu’s support, the national tour will definitely go more smoothly.

It's different to have a big benefactor behind it.

And it also gave the well-known IP "Crazy Stone".

Although Happy Flower has many excellent stage plays on its hands, its popularity is not good enough. Only audiences who like Happy Flower know about it.

Audiences who don't pay attention to stage plays don't know it at all.

But "Crazy Stone" is different. It was released in 03 and grossed more than 8000 million yuan at the box office. It is Director Lu's second film after "The Blind Shaft" and its popularity is quite high in China.

It is also true that another part of the Crazy series, "Crazy Racing" directed by Ning Hao, has achieved good results because the "Crazy" series is well-known.

There are also four actresses, and the "Transformers" heroine Yang Mi has joined. The "Crazy Stone" stage play will definitely be a big hit. Everyone believes that with the "Crazy Stone" stage play, it will definitely open up popularity in the hearts of domestic audiences. .

"If there's nothing else, go back. Once the script for the "Crazy Stone" stage play is finished, I'll ask Yang Mi to come over." Lu Chen looked at the time and saw guests next.

There are two waves of people waiting for me today.

Happy team.

There are also Kevin Feige, president of Manway Comics, and Robert Downey Jr., the actor of "Iron Man".

Lu Chen chose to meet Kaixin Mahua’s team first.

"Director Lu, let's leave first." Zhang Chen, Shen Teng, Ma Li and others were about to leave. When they were about to go out, they met Kevin Feiqi and Robert Downey Jr. who came in.

No one knows Kevin Feiqi.

But Robert Downey Jr. is so familiar.

Everyone present had watched "Iron Man" directed by Director Lu, and wondered if this was not 'Iron Man'.

One by one, they came forward and asked for autographs and photos.

Now Tang Ni is quite popular in China, even more popular than the leading actors of "The Dark Knight".

"Iron Man" has now been released in the mainland for five days, and the total box office in the mainland has exceeded 2 million. It is extremely popular. The domestic box office is higher than that of "The Dark Knight" at the time.

Everyone felt that Director Lu's choice of the role of 'Iron Man' was so suitable.

Some fans of the "Iron Man" comics in China feel that the male protagonist Tang Ni selected by Director Lu is the "Iron Man" himself.

Netizens on major forums have unanimously praised "Iron Man".

#Robert Downey Jr. perfectly interprets Iron Man, with top-notch special effects and a combination of humor and wisdom#
#Our mainland movie stars are once again standing on the world film stage. To be honest, the "Little Pepper" played by Teacher Yu Feihong is really the ideal female assistant and lover of all boys. No wonder Director Lu always likes to take Yu With Teacher Feihong by my side, Teacher Yu Feihong is Director Lu’s real-life ‘little pepper’#
#"Iron Man" has the shadow of Land's previous work "Transformers", especially the transformation of 'Iron Man', which is similar to the transformation of 'Autobots' in 'Transformers'. The special effects alone are worth the price of admission. , not to mention there are wonderful stories, including being able to see 'Iron Man' himself in the movie#
#The best hero movie is this kind of self-sufficient hero movie without superpowers. A science guy who is not boring, a short, rich and handsome playboy with strong hands-on ability, and an engineer who is willing to die and survive. It’s amazing. , a superhero completely different from 'Batman'. Who could have imagined that the two superhero movies this year were both directed by Director Lu. #
#This is Director Lu!The world's No. 1 young director on hiatus, "The Dark Knight" is the second part of the 'Batman' series. 'Batman' has already appeared in the first part. Director Lu said it doesn't matter, then I will create a world-class film. The most classic villain 'Joker'#
#So 'Tang Ni' should be lucky that this is the first live-action movie of 'Iron Man'. If Director Lu directs the second one, then the 'Iron Man' role will definitely be taken away by a brand new character. This is Director Lu. , like new creations#
Lu Chen also browsed the forum posts at that time. When he saw the later posts, he felt speechless. He thought about when he had said that he would create the most classic villain in world movies.

"Director Lu!" Kevin Feige and Robert Downey Jr. shouted respectfully when they came in. Both of them looked extremely excited. "Iron Man" became a hit in Europe and the United States.

The results have been outstanding. Before, "The Dark Knight" was the biggest topic in Europe and the United States, but now it immediately changed to "Iron Man".

The director behind the movie "Iron Man" is Director Lu, the No. 1 young director in the world.

Nowadays, there are many movie fans in Europe and the United States who feel that Director Lu should remove the word "youth" and become the No. 1 director in the world. Many people agree.

I feel that if Director Lu was not Chinese, but European and American, he would definitely be the No. 1 director in the world. With all the honors Director Lu has achieved and his movie becoming a hit, is there any other director in the world who can do this?

If Director Lu were of European and American origin, I believe his achievements would be even higher.

Of course, when Asian movie fans see these comments from European and American movie fans, they can refute that Director Lu Chen is an Asian director, an authentic Chinese director who was born in China and graduated from the Directing Department of Peking Film Academy.
