Lucas's trip to China allowed him to re-understand this ancient country, especially this magnificent beauty. He felt that it should not be enjoyed exclusively by himself, but that more friends should come here to see it. Spielberg, Kun
Tarantino, James Cameron, I will definitely invite these friends over if I have the opportunity in the future.
Lucas took the "Forrest Gump" script Liu Lang gave him and Lin Guodong happily returned to the United States. The next arrangement was to prepare for the movie, starring Tom Hanks, who was appointed by Liu Lang, and other actors.
We still have to choose for a while. It takes about two months. As for shooting this movie, it will be much easier because Liu Langhui
The storyboards he produced have basically constructed the skeleton and appearance of the entire movie. As a director, he just needs to render it more richly. To be honest, Liu Lang should be added to the director list of this movie.
Fortunately, Liu Lang specifically told Lucas that he was only the screenwriter and the director could only be Lucas.
Liu Lang has his own plan. As long as Lucas wins the Oscar for Best Director, his status in Hollywood will rise again, reaching a height that he has never reached in his previous life.
There are two systems of Hollywood movies. One is purely commercial movies, which are big productions and grand spectacles. The purpose is to make money. The actors do not need high acting skills. They are just fun anyway. This type of movie is most popular among ordinary people and has a wide audience.
Basically, everyone pays for tickets, but this kind of movie is not popular at Oscars and Cannes. At best, it can only win awards such as Best Visual Effects or Best Cinematography. As for Best
The protagonist, director and original script are almost impossible.
The other system is movies that favor acting and plot. This kind of movie doesn't care about the box office. It relies on plot, acting, and the so-called mainstream values. This kind of movie is quite popular among critics.
But again, such a movie will not receive much attention from the common people, and some people will think that this kind of movie is just nonsense and makes no sense.
There is a market for movies from both systems in Hollywood, but if investors are asked to choose one, most of them will be the former. Movies that make money are good, and more than 80% of movies that don't make money are bad movies.
The films of the two systems are equivalent to two cultures. The former is popular culture and belongs to the Lower Riba people and has a broad mass base. The latter is elite culture and belongs to the Yangchun Baixue and is favored by a small number of people. Lucas is the representative of the Lower Riba people.
A Star Wars
With 800 million U.S. dollars, Kuanglan has become a major director of commercial films and has a very high status in Hollywood. However, this does not mean that he is a great director. It only means that he has a great ability to make money. If he wants to gain recognition at a higher level,
Then it can only win an Oscar for Best Director.
But this is not easy. To win this award, first of all, your director must have profound skills, but the film must also be very suitable for the mainstream values of Yangchun Baixue and be able to arouse widespread resonance. In addition, the actors must also be very capable. These three conditions are lacking.
No, there are very few movies like this.
It can be said that a person who can win the Oscar for Best Director, regardless of whether he can make money for investors, his status has reached the front-line level anyway. There is no way, the Oscar itself is a gold-lettered brand, and if you carry this brand
Being engraved with the word "awesome" is enough for you to brag about for a lifetime.
Lucas is now a major director of commercial films. The first "Star Wars" made a global box office of 800 million U.S. dollars. Now it is still the holder of the highest box office. His status is already impressive. If he wins the Oscar for Best Director again,
With the Little Golden Man, there is no doubt that his "great director" hat will also be rimmed with gold, and he will enter the ranks of top-level directors. I don't know how many actors want to curry favor with him, which will also be of huge benefit to Shengtang Company.
Liu Lang is going all out to push Lucas into the halls of Hollywood. Once successful, Shengtang Company will rise to a new height, and everyone, both public and private, will be happy.
Liu Lang saw off Lucas and Lin Guodong, and met a few old friends in the capital, Lu Mingzhi, Sun Mingfan, Chen Chunsheng and others, and also went to the Youth Development Foundation to have a look. Everything went very smoothly.
He stayed in the capital for five days. Just as he was preparing to return to Fucheng, Shao Mingtao, the general manager of Yongli Group, came to visit and invited Liu Lang to a private party on behalf of the military.
This private party was held at the Yongli Group Club. Shao Mingtao drove himself and brought Liu Lang and Wang Zhendong here half an hour early.
The Yongli Group Club is a four-story building built by Yongli Group last year. Although it only has four floors, it is more than 30 meters high. It hired well-known domestic designers to design it and turned it into a modern building.
Yongli Group initially started out as a foreign trade company. As the times progressed, the group gradually developed into a diversified business. In its previous life, Yongli Group was involved in many industries such as real estate and culture. This club is obviously in the real estate industry.
According to Shao Mingtao's introduction, the club specially hires professional management in Hong Kong Island, and its business target is high-end talents, such as diplomats, Hong Kong and Taiwan businessmen, etc. The one-time consumption is at least a thousand yuan, which is definitely not within the reach of ordinary people.
Liu Lang smiled and said nothing. It seems that Yongli Group has also engaged in diversified businesses. This is normal. The country is developing so fast now, especially the two big cities of the capital and Shanghai have attracted a large number of foreign companies to invest.
The face of the city changes all the time.
Liu Lang returned to China in June last year and has been in Fucheng for more than half a year. When he came to the capital again, he felt that the place had changed a lot. A large number of old buildings had disappeared, and tall buildings were rising on the flat ground.
The roads have been widened a lot, and the number of cars on the road is several times greater than in previous years. Walking on the street, you can see blond foreigners from time to time. In previous years, these foreigners would attract many people's attention, but
It's no longer strange now.
The domestic market began to show potential, and of course companies like Yongli Group saw it clearly, so they turned their attention back.
What industry has the most future in China now? Of course, the service industry, restaurants, hotels, etc. are all in short supply. Of course, the so-called restaurants and hotels are not guest houses. When do you think Hong Kong and Taiwan rich people and foreigners will live in such places?
Not to mention them, even the first batch of rich people in China would not live in a place like this. It is too low-profile. They are not trying to save money, but want high-end atmosphere and class.
