"What we filmmakers want to convey to the audience is a positive spirit of optimism and positive energy, rather than telling the ugly face of a person after he gets rich, buying everything with money, showing off his wealth, taking revenge...
..”
Lu Chuan told reporters at the end of attending an event.
After dealing with reporters for a while, Lu Chuan drove away and went home to prepare the script for a new movie.
That day when I saw Tang An's new film was selling well at the box office, I felt resentful and had nowhere to express my resentment, so I wrote something casually on Weibo.
At this time, the spread of Weibo was far less widespread than it was later, and he didn't care. Not many people saw it anyway, so he just left it there.
Later, his girlfriend Qin Lan told him, and then he realized that someone was so full that he reposted his Weibo and made a big fuss.
Now that this has happened, he has no intention of hiding it and has updated Weibo many times to criticize "China Partner".
Naturally, it has attracted a lot of attention, and every time he appears in public, he will be chased by reporters.
Anyway, in front of the media, "China Partner" was criticized by him from beginning to end.
But he didn't hold on to the photos at the end of the film. They were all wealthy people in the country, RBQ...RBQ.
Of course, he didn't scold Tang An deliberately, but everyone could hear the oblique and sarcastic remarks.
After I vented my anger, I felt much better. Lu Chuan also prepared the script for his new movie and is waiting for Xingmei's intention.
When I got home, my girlfriend Qin Lan had returned from filming the commercial and was resting on the sofa.
"Back."
"How's it going? Did the commercial shooting go well?"
Lu Chuan seemed to be in a good mood. He sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, picked up the apple on the coffee table and ate it.
As soon as Lu Chuan started to speak, he saw a variety show being broadcast on TV, and the guests were Tang An and the crew of "Chinese Partners".
He bit off a piece of it hard, stared at the TV series with an unhappy look on his face, and chewed it with big mouthfuls.
Click!
Another big bite, and one third of the Shaanbei Red Fuji apple as big as a sandbag was bitten off in two bites.
Next to her, Qin Lan couldn't help but feel a little worried when she saw him like this. She looked at Tang An, who was chatting on TV, and then at her boyfriend, and couldn't help but persuade him.
"Don't get into a fight with him. Scolding him about that movie won't do you any good. You've also seen the box office during this period. It has no impact at all."
They are all in the same circle, they don't see each other when they look up, and they don't have any big hatred. Qin Lan can't figure out why Lu Chuan doesn't like Tang An.
It's just that "Kekexili" was beaten by Tang An's "Shark Beach" and they became enemies. It's not that big of a deal.
So many movies and TV series are released and broadcast at the same time every year. If it is so easy to make enemies, then half of the people in the entire entertainment industry will become enemies.
Lu Chuan was originally upset when he saw Tang An, but his expression became even worse when he heard Qin Lan say this, "Do you want me to regret what I said and delete my Weibo?"
Qin Lan didn't notice the change in Lu Chuan's expression, and continued to persuade, "There's no need to delete it on Weibo, and don't say those words anymore. His movie will only be released for another half month, and the popularity will drop soon."
Qin Lan's words were very unpleasant to Lu Chuan's ears. When he glanced at Wang Xiaoming on the TV, he couldn't help but think that Qin Lan had been with Wang Xiaoming before, and he became more and more irritable.
Lu Chuan stood up suddenly, threw the remaining half of the apple on the coffee table, and said loudly, "Go to bed when you are tired, I will go to bed later."
He strode towards the study, leaving Qin Lan with a stunned face, staring at his back in shock.
Qin Lan sighed, threw the half-eaten apple into the trash can, and wiped the coffee table again.
.......
Lu Chuan came to the study room upset, took out the script and read it carefully to see if there was anything that needed to be improved.
It was only two months before the filming of "South View, South View" was completed. He came up with the script of the new film so quickly. It was not a rough and haphazard script.
He had the idea as early as last year and has been writing and writing, and now he has perfected the script.
The reason why he is so anxious is that he has learned the importance of time over the past few years. He can never get back the lost time, and he can no longer waste it.
It took Lu Chuan five years to make a good movie, but Tang An, a new director, spent these five years step by step to become a top director. The gap between the two is obvious.
Every time Tang An's movie is released, he will feel a twinge of regret, regretting that this movie dragged him here.
He often thinks that if he had not made "South View, South View" and maintained the pace of one movie a year, or two movies every three years, he would be the great director who is now accepted by the audience, cheered by the media, and attracted by major companies.
.
Basically every summer he would have this idea, and every year it would become deeper and deeper, and his resentment towards Tang An would become deeper and deeper.
At that time, he could still comfort himself with "Nanjing Nanjing": After five years of silence, he became a blockbuster; after five years of silence, he soared into the sky.
However, the reality did not go as he wished, and "South View, South View", which he had high hopes for, was not too successful.
RMB 150 million per chip is enough for others to be proud of, and Lu Chuan is only 38 years old, in his prime.
But compared with Tang An, this is completely unsatisfactory. Tang An reached this figure as early as three years ago.
Of course, Lu Chuan blamed Tang An for all this.
It's normal that Qin Lan can't understand.
...
Early the next morning, Lu Chuan took the script to the Xingmei Media headquarters and met with Qin Hong.
He has repeatedly considered the theme of this movie. The popular themes in China are costume blockbusters and comedies. As for science fiction, espionage, and modern warfare, the success is too accidental and will not be considered.
Last year, it was "Red Cliff" that took in 300 million at the box office and revitalized costume films, so he decided on the subject of his new film.
"The King's Feast"!
The theme is selected from the late Qin Dynasty, when the deeds of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are widely known and have a wide audience.
Lu Chuan was also very disdainful of Wu Yusen. "Red Cliff" could earn a box office of 300 million, so he believed that the movie he had carefully prepared would not be worse than this.
After chatting with Qin Hong for a while, Lu Chuan handed him the script.
Qin Hong already knew that he was going to make a new movie and was just waiting for his script.
Qin Hong took the script with a smile, opened it and read it carefully from the first page.
Lu Chuan was waiting opposite, already thinking about which actors to play.
First of all, it must be famous, it doesn’t need to be too big but not too small, and secondly, the acting skills must be sufficient.
He couldn't afford to hire several big stars, and the high cost of "South View, South View" taught him a lesson.
As far as the Mesozoic in China is concerned, Chen Kun is very good, but he seems to be unavailable.
How many are Huayi?
No, definitely not!
As for Liu Ye...you can consider it, he performed very well in "Nanjing Nanjing".
Looking for another Hong Kong and Taiwan male star, Wu Yanzu is good...
In about half an hour, Qin Hong read the script from beginning to end.
"Director Lu, this script is very good."
Lu Chuan takes it for granted. He is also a professional screenwriter. He has written the scripts for "Black Hole", "Looking for the Gun", "Kekexili", and "Nanjing Nanjing" all by himself, and he has absolute confidence in this aspect.
However, Qin Hong put down the script, pushed it in his direction, and said with some regret.
"But we may not be able to cooperate this time."
Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that he heard correctly, he asked in disbelief, "Dr. Qin?"
