For 18-year-old Xia Sang, tonight's birthday party is undoubtedly a dream.
She met her favorite and admired idol Lu Chen, received a gift from Lu Chen personally, cut the birthday cake with Lu Chen, and then sang a duet with Lu Chen in front of thousands of netizens.
a song.
There were originally three to four thousand people watching this birthday party in the Feixun group live broadcast room of Haijin Lu Chen's support group. But when everyone found out that Lu Chen was coming in person, the news quickly spread to all fan groups, and a large number of fans
People came in droves and almost crowded the live broadcast room.
As tonight's heroine, Xia Sang not only received countless blessings, but also countless envy and jealousy.
Not only that, she and Lu Chen were also featured in the entertainment section of major media the next day, and were called the luckiest and happiest fans.
For such a title, Xia Sang does not think it is an exaggeration in the slightest.
After fulfilling the dream of a die-hard fan and leaving behind an interesting story, Lu Chen returned to Dengfeng to continue filming "Swordsman".
Time flies like water, and we entered the end of December in the blink of an eye.
The crew of "The Swordsman" has been filming at Dengfeng for more than a month.
During this period of more than a month, due to the presence of the crew, it had a considerable impact on the summit area.
The first is Shaolin Temple. After the formal establishment of Shaolin Temple Industrial Development Co., Ltd., Chenfei Media immediately received the first batch of 100 million funds, and the renovation and expansion project of Shaolin Temple was quickly put on the agenda.
Shaolin Temple is a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit. The repair and reconstruction of cultural relics protection units is not that easy. It is not enough just to have funds. It must be approved by the superior authorities.
Fortunately, the Dengfeng government has great support, and there is no need for state investment, and the Shaolin Temple does need to be repaired and maintained, so the relevant approval documents were quickly implemented.
After receiving the approval, Shaolin Industrial Company immediately launched a project tender and invited domestic qualified ancient construction companies to bid, and then the project started with great fanfare.
The Shaolin Temple has been closed for three months for this reason. On the one hand, it is necessary for repair and expansion. On the other hand, it is also to cooperate with the filming work of the "Swordsman" crew. Otherwise, the interference of tourists will cause a lot of management troubles.
Today's Shaolin Temple has a completely different layout. The area of the temple has been expanded by two-thirds, and a new site has been opened up to build the Shaolin Temple Martial Arts Research Center and the Shaolin Martial Arts Hall.
According to the plan, the renovation and expansion project will last two years, but the first phase of the project will be completed before the Spring Festival next year. During the Spring Festival, the temple will be officially opened to welcome guests, allowing people across the country to have a glimpse of the Shaolin Temple.
Today's Shaolin Temple is very different from usual, its popularity is at least ten times higher than before. The number of fans of Shaolin Temple's official v on Inspur Blog has exceeded one million.
This is due to the fact that the crew of "The Swordsman" releases stills from time to time, which include many Shaolin Temple landscapes and shots of Lu Chen inside the Shaolin Temple.
In addition, Lu Chen also revealed on his blog that after filming the "Swordsman" trilogy, he is likely to make a movie specifically for the Shaolin Temple, telling the story of the thirteen stick monks who rescued the Tang emperor during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
It is through all kinds of publicity that this thousand-year-old temple has radiated unprecedented vitality, and in the near future, it will become a shining symbol in Lu Chen's martial arts IP plan.
In this process, Lu Chen, together with the newly reborn Shaolin Temple, experienced the most important transformation in his life.
That’s the evolution from an actor to a director!
The entertainment industry is a big world, and people in the world naturally have different levels of hierarchy, and directors, especially film directors, are definitely at the top.
When Lu Chen was still a singer and filming his first music video, the idea of becoming a director came into his mind.
This idea became strong when he was filming TV series such as "Blue Life" and "Full House". By the time of his first movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", he was already studying and preparing.
It is not an easy task to become a real director or film director.
A qualified film director must first have professional knowledge, know how to grasp the entire artistic style of the film, and have the skills to achieve the artistic effects required by the film.
The director controls the details and development process of the film's plot according to the movie script. He also directs the actors' performances, which includes personally setting the shooting positions and movements for the actors and assisting the actors in cultivating the emotions of the performance.
In addition, film directors have to organize and select film shooting locations, manage technical aspects such as camera placement, lighting, set layout, soundtrack content and timing, etc.
In the entertainment industry, many stars have experience as directors, and even some famous writers have joined the industry to film their own works. However, most of these directors are just for fun, and they do not need to master so many skills.
, or to manage so many tasks, leave the main work to the producer, assistant director, and cameraman to make false claims, and it is enough to use a name and a title to improve your performance.
What Lu Chen wants to do is not to be a director in name only. Even if the other path is very difficult and full of risks and thorns, he has no regrets!
Since "Blue Life and Death Love", he has been studying, squeezing out time from his busy work to acquire knowledge, and working hard in the direction he desires.
Becoming a director is not because Lu Chen wants to improve his skills, but because he hopes to use his own efforts to realize the dream that none of the other three in Dream World has ever realized!
Make a movie that is truly your own!
Now Lu Chen is no longer satisfied with using the memory of the dream world to gain achievements and glory. He hopes to win everyone's applause through his own efforts.
Fortunately, Lu Chen has basic conditions that are far beyond ordinary people. The first film of "The Swordsman" invited the great director Chen Guozhi. Under the careful guidance of this veteran and great master, he became the director
Skills in this aspect are accumulated little by little.
The second part of "The Swordsman", "The Invincible of the East", is Lu Chen's sword-fighting work after he became an accomplished swordsman.
From being unfamiliar at the beginning to gradually becoming more proficient, from being uneasy and nervous to being able to perform calmly, Lu Chen has been walking more and more smoothly on this path of directing!
But for many of Lu Chen's fans, what they are looking forward to is not Lu Chen's first directorial movie, but Lu Chen's third album, which will be released on January 1, 2019.
