Chapter 304 The Enemy of Life (Please subscribe for the third update!)

Lu Chuan, once the "leading figure of the new generation of directors".

His father is a director, and when he grew up, he was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, which can be regarded as inheriting his father's career.

His father also has some connections, so he wouldn't be like many of his classmates who have worked hard on the set for more than ten or twenty years without getting a chance to direct.

After receiving a master's degree at the age of 27, he wrote the classic TV series "Black Hole" the next year.

At the age of 31, he wrote and directed the Virgo "Looking for a Gun", and the Wang Brothers, Han Sanping, Yang Buting, Deputy Director of the Film Bureau and other big names personally acted as producers.

Moreover, a famous director and actor Jiang Wen was recruited for him to act as the leading actor, to check the film and also serve as the producer.

In his thirties, Lu Chuan, who had been going smoothly, stumbled in his debut novel.

The dominance of the movie has been taken away!

What's the point even if the film has a box office of 900 million and ranks No.9 in the annual box office list of Chinese-language films!

He was aggrieved with many awards such as Best Virgo at the University Student Film Festival, Best Film in Chinese Film Media, and Best First Film.

But it was this movie that made him a "leading figure of the new generation of directors" in the media

After that, Lu Chuan regained his confidence and made an ambitious film "Kekexil", but he encountered a stronger opponent.

Lost at the box office, the other party was a newcomer director, a thriller movie that sells meat got 3000 million box office, and the box office of "Kekexili" was not as good as the previous "Looking for a Gun".

He also failed in several domestic awards, and only won the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Feature Film and Excellent Director. Even if he won the Best Film Award at the Golden Horse Awards, he could not conceal his failure.

What was even more shocking was that Wang Zhongjun, who had sincerely invited him to join Huayi before, wanted to win over Tang An instead of investing in his new film.

In this way, his movie lost, and he also left Huayi, leaving the scene sadly.

In Hexi New City, Jianye District, Nanjing City, in a hotel near the Jiangning Grand Theater where the premiere was held, Lu Chuan was standing at the window with a glass of wine, overlooking the entire land of Nanjing.

"I waited for five years, not to prove how great I am, but I must get back what belongs to me!"

How many five years can there be in one's life? For a movie, he has just passed and is now middle-aged.

Lu Chuan clenched his fists heavily, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, with a serious expression on his face.

Tang An!

All the glory and status you have now should belong to me!

In that year, he experienced a change from heaven to earth. The film was overwhelmed by a newcomer, and the new film Hua Yi was unwilling to invest, so he terminated the contract.

A well-prepared film script has been revised dozens of times, reviewed for nearly half a year when the project was approved, and experienced too many deletions after the film was completed.

These together can almost make a cutting-edge director sink.

But he didn't. Lu Chuan, who had suffered multiple blows, became more and more determined. He wanted to defeat Tang An, defeat this lifelong enemy, and take back everything he had.

It's a pity that Director Qin didn't agree to release it in the summer, so he couldn't beat Tang An head-on!

Lu Chuan thought with some regret, seeing that it was almost time, went downstairs to join the crew, and prepared to go to the Jiangning Grand Theater next door to prepare for the next premiere.

And Tang An, whom Lu Chuan regarded as his lifelong enemy, also came from the capital to attend the premiere ceremony, along with Wang Zhonglei and some of his stars.

"There are quite a lot of people."

There are many movie fans and reporters around the theater outside, and a red carpet in front leads directly to the infield.

The two sides were separated by a barrier. At this time, there were already stars competing for beauty on the red carpet, and any action made the fans on both sides scream again and again.

The rattling sound at the scene was also non-stop, and the flash almost blinded the eyes.

Tang An took a look, then smiled at Wang Zhonglei, "Mr. Wang, the scale of this premiere is not small."

Wang Zhonglei said with a smile, "With the strong support of Director Qin, how could it be so bad?"

Tang An nodded. Indeed, Star Beauty Media Group is also one of the largest groups in China.

Sitting on the largest theater chain company in China, it is not an exaggeration to say that SMI is a giant.

And next year, SMI will expand its media business in an all-round way, recruiting famous agent Chang Jihong to establish SMI's [-] billion brokerage company, and another company under its umbrella will be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

A large-scale advertising company has also been established, which has realized the construction of theaters and distribution of theaters, content production and channel operation, audio-visual distribution and chain network, newspaper publishing and distribution, advertising planning and media sales, network digital media, film and television bases and rental services. A modern professional media company with a large business cluster.

There are still several such media groups in China. Although they are not well-known outside the industry because they are not involved in film and television production and artist brokerage, they are actually not bad at all in terms of strength.

Stepping on the red carpet and walking past it quickly, Tang An kept getting overtaken by people. Except for the occasional fan shouts that were too excited, he stopped to sign autographs or something.

As a director, his fans are much smaller than many first-line stars.

After all, he is a behind-the-scenes worker, and he likes him more because he appreciates his talent.

Of course, there are far fewer people who can appreciate inner talent than these superficial fans who only look at appearances.

So Tang An doesn't envy them, it doesn't matter at all,

After all, the appearance cannot withstand the erosion of the years, and their fans will be obsessed with another handsome and beautiful face in less than two years.

However, his talent will become more and more profound with the passage of time, and more and more people will appreciate his talent.

While walking, he waved to his fans, walked off the red carpet with a smile on his face, and came to the interview area.

After adjusting his suit, Tang An began to accept the interview.

"Hello Director Tang, has the production of "The Chinese Partner" been completed, and when will it be released?"

"Post-production is currently in progress, and if there are no accidents, it will still be released in the summer."

After answering some questions about their own films, the reporters mentioned this "Southern View of the South" and Lu Chuan.

"Director Tang, what do you think of this movie that Director Lu has honed his sword for five years?"

"The movie hasn't been released yet, so no one knows what's going on." Tang An shook his head with a smile.

"Did Director Lu spend five years making a movie? Director Tang, what do you think of this approach?"

"I admire it very much. There is a movie worthy of his five years of hard work."

"Back then you snatched away Director Lu's position as the leader of the new generation of directors. Now that Director Lu is making a comeback, do you have confidence?"

What kind of bullshit is the leader of the new generation of directors, isn't it all you reporters who have been installed?

After dealing with it casually, Tang An continued to walk inside, where Lu Chuan was talking to the reporter.

"Director Lu, it is said that "Nanjing Nanjing" was originally scheduled to be released in the summer, so why is it being released in October? Is it to avoid Director An's "Chinese Partner"?"

A reporter asked a sharp question, and Lu Chuan's face changed slightly, just in time to see Tang An walking across.
