Chapter 22 Interview with Master Liu
"More than 40 million?" Lu Chen thought he was being dazzled. "The Blind Shaft" is a reality-themed movie, not a commercial movie.
To win so much box office in one week?
It's far behind the next few movies.
Those movies that were released together did not have as much box office as "The Blind Shaft".
"The Blind Shaft" accounted for more than 80% of the total box office pool.
Of course, during this period, there were no good movies released, and there were no foreign blockbusters.
"It was well-received and sold well." Yang Lei's eyes were filled with envy, "Director Lu, your first movie has achieved this level of success. There will be no shortage of investment in the future..."
Think about it for a while.
It seems that Lu Chen's family is not short of money.
People can't be compared with others. Lu Chen's family is obviously not short of money, and he has become the darling of the director circle. In the future, countless film and television companies will pursue him and invest in him.
How many directing students graduate with scripts and beg for investment to no avail.
"Brother, you are so awesome." Liu Yifei is about to become Lu Chen's little crush.
Zhao Liying, Huang Bo and others also gathered around, their eyes full of admiration. For a realistic movie to achieve such impressive results, I wonder which director has such ability.
"Take a good look at it." Lu Chen didn't believe it, how good the results were? Countless people voted at the box office, not a few film judges.
He took the phone and looked at the detailed information inside.
Box office distribution by region.
The first place is Shanxi Province, which contributed 12 million box office.
The second place is Peking, which contributed 10 million box office.
The third place, Magic City, contributed 5 million box office.
fourth place……
…
This Shanxi Province is too outstanding.
It became clear at once.
I am sure that my father has topped the box office.
Otherwise, how could it have such a high box office.
Last year's movie "Hero" was such a classic, the scenes were so grand, and so many stars were invited. In the end, it took over 200 million in domestic box office.
But now in 2003, it is not as easy to make money at the box office as it was in later generations.
Lu Changnian used the most cunning method.
All coal miners in Shanxi Province, including their families, seven aunts and eight aunts were invited to watch "The Blind Shaft".
Of course, it was able to achieve such a high box office with the help of the Chinese Film Brothers and the promotion of the Beijing Film Department.
In addition, "The Blind Shaft" is the best film in Berlin and has given the country a reputation in the world. There are still many people who are willing to spend money to see this masterpiece.
"Director Lu, according to this box office trend, "The Blind Shaft" will definitely exceed 100 million yuan." Yang Lei said with excitement, "This will be the first realistic movie in China to exceed 100 million yuan."
Lu Chen's face turned red. He didn't know how much water there was in this billion.
So does this dad.
This is not how money is spent.
All the money I earned from making movies through hard work was thrown in by this dad, so in the end my hard work was not in vain.
When you go back, you have to tell Lu Changnian that you can't waste money like this.
If you have money, you should save it.
How nice it is to leave the future to yourself.
"Director Lu, there is also the Hong Kong Box Office." Yang Lei looked excited, as if he had participated in the filming of "The Blind Shaft". "I earned two million Hong Kong dollars in one week, ranking only behind the film "A Thousand Chances" directed by Lin Chaoxian.
Zhou ranked second among the eight films in Hong Kong at the box office, which is a pretty good result."
Lu Chen was not much surprised by this incident.
Hong Kong Film Circle.
I have always had a great love for art films, especially award-winning art films.
This is also the reason why domestic award-winning films like to be screened in Xiangjiang. After all, Xiangjiang has a group of professionals who love movies.
"Director Lu, the foreign box office is also good." Yang Lei just read the box office news report on "The Blind Shaft" in all regions. "This week, North America and Europe took in a box office of US$3 million."
Lu Chen is not particularly concerned about overseas broadcasts. The income from overseas broadcasts has been packaged and sold, and he will not give himself a penny.
"Director Lu, take me with you if you have the opportunity in the future." When Yang Lei was in the same class as Director Lu, he never thought that he would beg him one day.
But now Lu Chen is different, he is a Golden Bear Award winner.
Very strong directing ability.
Yang Lei believes that none of the students in the directing departments of the three major film schools can compare with Lu Chen.
"We are classmates, of course." Lu Chen extended the invitation, "Do you want to consider joining Mars Film and Television again? I guarantee that you will not be short of works to shoot in the future."
A company can't just have artists.
There must also be directors and other film and television professionals.
"No need to think about it, I am willing to join." Yang Lei now had no hesitation.
"When we go back, we'll sign the contract." Lu Chenting took a fancy to Yang Lei's ability. Besides, Yang Lei later filmed the popular science fiction drama "The Three-Body Problem", and he does have some talent in directing.
"Okay!" Yang Lei agreed.
"Now you ask everyone to prepare for the next shot, try to complete today's shooting ahead of schedule, and finish the work early." Lu Chen has one more thing to do today.
Two days ago.
My aunt said it.
Shishi Liu is interested in joining Mars Film and Television.
But you have to talk to yourself personally.
But now Lu Chen doesn't have time to fly to Beiping to talk to her.
Even if I have time, I won't fly there, and the upper and lower levels cannot be messed up.
Ask Master Liu to come to Huandian and discuss it later when he has time.
Make an appointment tonight.
When the work is over, I need to meet with Master Liu to discuss joining the company.
"Everyone, stop chatting and prepare for the next shooting. All department personnel should return to their posts." Yang Lei carried out Lu Chen's order.
All the staff of the "Sword and Fairy" crew have entered work one after another.
The look in his eyes towards Lu Chen.
Even more admiration.
"The Blind Shaft" dominated the charts as soon as it was released.
It was also released simultaneously in three places across the Taiwan Strait.
It is also being released overseas.
What an honor.
It is a great honor for everyone to be guided by Director Lu, so we are more serious about our work.
Lu Chen really needs everyone's seriousness, otherwise how can he achieve the effect of "Sword" that he wants in his heart, "Every part is ready, thirty-two scenes of "Sword", the first scene for the first time..."
…
Huandian County, Jinshi Hotel
"Director Lu!" Master Liu saw the door to the room open and bowed to Lu Chen to express respect.
"Come in, close the door." After the crew finished work, Lu Chen asked Master Liu to come to the hotel to find him, and took advantage of this time to take a shower.
At this time, Lu Chen only had a bathrobe on him.
"..." Master Liu stood at the door, hesitant. If he went in, wouldn't it be a man and a woman, a man and a woman living together in the same room?
He bit his lip, took a deep breath, made up his mind, took a step forward, and closed the door.
Later, Liu Shishi became a popular actress.
Talking about the first step into the room that night.
That is the most important step in your entire life.
That step changed my life and made my life dazzling.
"Would you like a drink?" Lu Chen was half-lying on the sofa in the living room, his whole posture looked like Ge You was lying down.
There is a bottle of French red wine on the coffee table.
The director.
Enjoy it when it's time to enjoy it.
As for the red wine, it must be paid for by the crew.
"Director Lu, do you have to drink?" Mr. Liu didn't dare to sit down. Standing in front of Lu Chen, he looked like a flattered little girl.
Chapter completed!
