On November 25, Lu Chen's first film "A Chinese Ghost Story" was officially launched at the former site of Fa'en Temple at Lion Rock Studios in Xiangjiang.
On December 29, "A Chinese Ghost Story" officially wrapped.
It only took a little over a month to complete, during which the filming was stopped for a few days due to an accident. This speed and efficiency are very high, because "A Chinese Ghost Story" is not a shoddy fast food movie.
In this movie, Lu Chen plays multiple roles as director, leading actor, screenwriter and arranger. In order to successfully film "A Chinese Ghost Story", the hard work and effort he put in are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Especially in the later stages of filming, in order to catch up with the progress, Lu Chen often filmed from morning to late at night, eating and living on the set of Lion Rock Film and Television City, and staying up all night was a common occurrence.
Lu Chen hand-drawn dozens of shot script artworks alone, and together with Wan Xiaoquan and the crew's artists, the number of drawings was even greater.
Many of the script artworks originated from his memory of the original "A Ghost Story" in the dream world, which made the filming of the film simpler and more accurate, greatly reducing the number of NGs during the filming process.
Many shots were shot in one go, which is why it was able to be completed in such a short time.
But finishing doesn't mean it's over. Post-production special effects, editing, dubbing, and soundtrack are all very complex tasks, especially in terms of special effects. It's normal for many blockbusters to spend a year and a half on special effects.
Of course, "A Chinese Ghost Story" does not have that many special effects, because more real scenes and props were used during the filming process, but the special effects budget is not low.
Lu Chen was not sure whether it could be released in early February 2017, but he could only leave all this work to Wan Xiaoquan for the time being, and flew back to the capital.
Because December 31st is the time when the [Global Chinese Original Golden Songs Chart] awards ceremony will be held.
Lu Chen couldn't miss this music event no matter what.
[Global Chinese Original Hits Chart] is a reorganization and merger of [Asian Chinese Hits Chart] and [Chinese Original Music Chart]. Its high standards are unrivaled in the Chinese music circle and far surpasses other Chinese music.
Above the award.
You only need to look at the organizers of [Global Chinese Original Golden Songs Chart] to know this: China Music Association, China Central Television, China Central Radio, Voice of China
There are five companies that start with the word "中", and there are even more dazzling arrays of other joint-organizers. If you mention any one of them, they are all well-known brands.
The first [Global Chinese Original Golden Songs Chart] in 2016 was held at the National Center for the Performing Arts, and was broadcast live to the world by CCTV Variety Channel and Music Channel.
In this highest festival of Chinese music, Lu Chen is undoubtedly one of the most conspicuous stars.
In total, he was nominated for four major awards: Best Male Singer, Best Album, and Best Lyrics and Composer. In addition, he was nominated for all six awards including Best Producer and Media Recommendation.
In addition, Filia Chen was also nominated for four awards: Best Female Singer, Best Album, Best Stage Performance and Media Recommendation. Among them, the Best Album and Media Recommendation awards directly competed with Lu Chen.
As the awards ceremony is approaching, blogs have been flooded with the topic of the golden song chart. Star singers from the domestic pop music scene are the first to appear on the Internet, making this topic extremely hot.
Among them, the couple dispute between Lu Chen and Filia Chen is undoubtedly a hot topic among the big topics.
Especially for the best album, fans are mainly divided into three groups, one group supports Lu Chen, one group supports Filia Chen, and the other group is happy no matter who wins the award.
"The best album must be my Feifei's. Which record sales in 2016 can be compared with "Female Flower"?"
"Isn't "Female Flower" the result of my morning work?"
"Haha, the best album is not the best lyricist and composer. It doesn't matter who wrote the song, you understand?"
"Personally, I think that the overall quality of "The Ordinary Road" exceeds that of "Female Flower". The best album does not mean the best-selling album, so I bet on Lu Chen to win."
"I support Filia Chen. She sings so well. I love "Female Flower" and "Sea of People" so much."
"Stop arguing, whether it's "The Ordinary Road" or "Female Flower", I support it!"
According to the selection rules of the [Global Chinese Original Golden Songs Chart], there are only a maximum of 5 shortlists for an award, and there is only one winner. There will no longer be the kind of pork-sharing style that makes people unable to complain about the "double yolk egg triple"
Yellow eggs" appear, so the gold content is very high.
High gold content also means fierce competition. It is said that the organizing committee took a full month to finalize the shortlist for the 24 awards on the Chinese Golden Melody Chart.
As the biggest event of the year for Chinese pop groups, winning the Chinese Golden Songs Chart not only means the highest honor in the Chinese pop music world, but also brings huge benefits, such as high bonuses and official recommendations.
"Have you ever thought about winning a few awards?"
At night, in the love nest built by two people in Zichengyuan Community in Beijing, Lu Chen, who had just flown back from Xiangjiang, was leaning on the bedside and reading blogs on his tablet computer.
Filia Chen, who was wearing a nightgown, lay lazily on Lu Chen and playfully teased his ears with her hair.
She flirted and asked: "Two? Three? Four?"
Today is the first time the two of them have gotten together in more than half a month. After the passionate love, their attention has returned to the [Global Chinese Original Golden Songs Chart] to be held the night after tomorrow.
Filia Chen returned to Beijing yesterday. She has not finished filming all her scenes in "The Greatest Song", but because she received four nominations on the Golden Song Chart, the director happily gave her a leave.
In the pop music world, Filia Chen is also a person who is reluctant to win awards, but she is particularly interested in the first [Global Chinese Original Golden Songs Chart].
I have a goal to strive for again.
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "You think highly of me too much. To be honest, I would be very satisfied if I could get one."
Lu Chen was not pretending to be modest, but his true thoughts.
Even though he has received six nominations on the Chinese Golden Songs Chart, he is unrivaled among the younger generation of musicians. However, every award he is nominated for faces competition from strong opponents, and it is still unclear who will win.
Nominations are nominations, and awards are awards. In many music, film and television awards activities, there are many situations where nominations are made but nothing is received in the end. The reasons involved are very complicated.
Therefore, Lu Chen was not dazzled by the six nominations and set his goals very low.
He typed out his answer on the keyboard in reply to a blog fan who asked the same question. ——
