The suggestion to invite Chen Guozhi to direct the movie "The Swordsman" was first proposed by Filia Chen.
First of all, Chen Guozhi has a huge reputation in the domestic film circle. The movies he shoots are majestic in style and blend the essence of Chinese and Western cultures. They have distinctive and unique characteristics and are truly a guarantee of box office.
Secondly, Chen Guozhi's film shooting style is rigorous and detail-oriented, and he also has bold imagination. In particular, the blockbuster "Three Thousand Miles" he shot the year before last not only won the audience's reputation, but also became a box office hit. It is a typical example
A well-received and well-received work.
Therefore, if he directs "The Swordsman", he will definitely be able to make Lu Chen's first martial arts IP the foundation work and lay a good foundation for future IP expansion.
In addition, with the help of Chen Guozhi's reputation, "The Swordsman" can also make a difference in major domestic and foreign film festivals next year and quickly expand its influence.
The most important thing is that through cooperation with Chen Guozhi, Lu Chen's status in the film industry will be greatly improved.
The male protagonist of "The Swordsman" must be Lu Chen himself.
It's just that although the idea is very good, this great director is so easy to hire. As long as he lets out a little word, countless investors will come to the door with boxes full of banknotes.
As for movie scripts, you can have as many as you want, and you don’t have to worry about not having a good script at all.
Lu Chen and Filia Chen don't have much friendship with Chen Guozhi. If they want to impress each other, in addition to being sincere enough, they also have to present real materials.
Regarding Lu Chen's request, Chen Guozhi was obviously very surprised. He laughed dumbly and said: "So this is your idea? Well, I have read the book "The Swordsman". It is a very interesting martial arts novel.
.”
Is this a drama?
Lu Chen was pleasantly surprised when he heard his loose tone: "Director Chen, I know you are very busy with work and you will definitely not have time this year, so it doesn't matter if you shoot again next year. I think you are the most suitable director for "The Swordsman"!"
"Don't give me a top hat yet..."
Chen Guozhi smiled and said: "Let me tell you first, how much budget do you plan to spend?"
Lu Chen said without hesitation: "It starts from 100 million, and goes up... There is no cap for the time being, it's up to you to decide!"
Budget starts from 100 million, no upper limit!
Chen Guozhi, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help but twitching at the corners of his eyes when he heard this: "You're so bold..."
If a young star came to tell him something like this, Chen Guozhi would probably sneer at it. The cost of making a movie can be very different. A movie can be made for tens or hundreds of thousands, or a movie can be made for tens or billions.
If you can make a movie without being capped, that's nonsense.
Although Lu Chen's words were not so full, the meaning was very clear. The budget was completely decided by him, and there was no problem with it going up to 100 million. That was really very ambitious.
This also shows Lu Chen's sincerity.
Before this meeting, Chen Guozhi got to know Lu Chen quite well and knew that Lu Chen would not talk nonsense. The original three-point idea was at least increased to five points.
But he couldn't agree rashly and immediately. He thought about it and said, "I'll give you an answer in a few days."
Lu Chen understood that Chen Guozhi had said this, and the matter was basically half done, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Thank you, Director Chen, then I will wait for your good news!"
Chen Guozhi shook his head, raised the manuscript paper in his hand and said, "I should be the one thanking you..."
Two original musical works and an original sketch script really helped him a lot. At least in the 2018 Spring Festival Gala when he served as the chief director, he already had at least a decent program.
Both parties were very satisfied with the outcome of this private meeting.
Needless to say, Chen Guozhi’s side was definitely full of rewards and even unexpected surprises. Although Lu Chen’s side did not get Chen Guozhi’s commitment, he established a friendly relationship with the great director, whether it was for himself or herself.
It will still be beneficial to the future development of Chenfei Media.
If you are in the right way, there will be plenty of help, but if you are not in the right way, there will be little help. This principle is true everywhere!
In the afternoon, Lu Chen and Filia Chen returned to the company headquarters. The task of filming the follow-up series of "My Love from the Star" was very heavy. Today was squeezed out with great difficulty, so no time could be wasted.
When she returned to Chenfei Media, she not only had to deal with many company matters, but Filia Chen also had to record an episode of "Star You", which was completed in the recording studio at the headquarters.
When the two came to the recording studio, all the staff were already in place, and the studio, which had cost tens of millions to build, was waiting for the Queen to speak.
Filia Chen hasn't released a new song for a while. Many of her fans complained on their blogs, saying that the idol queen now has a boyfriend and forgets about them. She shows off her affection all day long, which is really a bit too much!
Because he had a lot of resentment, Lu Chen prepared a number of interludes for "Star You", plus the theme song, and planned to release an original soundtrack album for Filia Chen after all the episodes were aired to calm him down.
Fans’ resentment.
This song is one of them. The score was written a few days ago and I only had time to record it today.
The filming of "Star You" was really busy. Filia Chen did not participate in the recording of the two songs customized for the Spring Festival Gala and the demo given to Chen Guozhi.
It wasn't until now that she had the chance to show off her singing voice again.
In the monitoring room separated from the recording studio by a thick glass, in addition to Lu Chen and the two sound engineers, Lu Xi and Tong Xinyao, who had just signed with Chenfei Media not long ago, were also there.
This 20-year-old girl who came to prominence through "The Voice of China" and was lucky enough to replace An Xin, the winner of The Voice, and was signed by Lu Chen, is currently undergoing rigorous training from the company.
Today's Chenfei Media is no longer comparable in scale and strength to the original Lu Chen Studio. It has hired a number of professional teachers in dance, music, musical instruments, body shaping, etc. to train newcomers.
One of the two dance teachers was hired from South Korea through SPG.
Even though Tong Xinyao is a spoiled girl from a rich family, she is very hard-working in training. In the past two months, she has made great improvements in all aspects, and her image and temperament are even more outstanding. Her official debut is not far away.
She originally had a physical education class in the afternoon, but knowing that Filia Chen was going to record a song, she specifically asked the teacher's permission and ran over to watch.
Because she is a loyal fan of Filia Chen!
At this moment, Filia Chen came to the recording studio. When she stood in front of the microphone and put on the monitoring headphones, the diva who once dominated the singing world was back again!——
