Perfect Superstar

Chen Guozhi stared at Lu Chen with a solemn expression.

As one of the top figures in the domestic film and television circle, Chen Guozhi not only enjoys a reputation in the Chinese-speaking circle, but is also well-known internationally. He was once selected as one of the top ten directors in Asia by a famous foreign magazine.

In front of Chen Guozhi, no matter how high his status is, actors and entertainers don't want to play big names. There are more than one or two movie stars who have been reprimanded by him, and there are many famous people among them.

This is why everyone is nervous. Chen Guozhi is a person who doesn't rub the sand in his eyes. No matter how popular and famous Lu Chen is, if he offends him, he won't have any good results.

If the two really clashed face to face, it would be a disaster for the crew of Swordsman!

Lu Chen did not avoid Chen Guozhi's gaze, his eyes were serious and honest.

The big movie Swordsman is an important beginning of the martial arts big IP plan. The success or failure will directly affect the future development of Chenfei Media, including himself.

For this plan, Lu Chen has prepared for a long time and put in a lot of painstaking efforts and efforts. The investment in funds alone has reached hundreds of millions, and in the foreseeable future, the proportion of investment will only increase. So you can only succeed and not fail.

What is the key to a film's success?

Some say it's quality, some say it's publicity, some say it's investment, and some say it's luck!

Lu Chen thinks these are very important, but the most important thing is the attitude towards the movie, the sincere attitude!

Without a sincere attitude, how can a good movie be made?

Some people may make money with shoddy films through publicity and hype, and some people spend money on celebrities to attract attention by sensational effects, but the patience of the audience is limited.

Those sensational things, even if they can succeed for a while, will eventually be abandoned by the market. Only works completed with sincerity can win real recognition and have long-term vitality and influence.

Lu Chen hopes that Swordsman is such a work, and he is also working hard for it.

Although this greatly delayed the progress of the filming.

And if Chen Guozhi is dissatisfied with his insistence, and even conflicts arise because of it, no matter how much he respects the other party, he will not compromise—even if Chen Guozhi quits the film crew!

Chen Guozhi suddenly smiled.

His smile was broad and gratified, and he looked at Lu Chen with a little more appreciation in his eyes.

Quality must be ensured first...

The great director smiled and said: You are right. I was worried that you would not be able to bear the pressure. Now I am relieved. If you miss the schedule, just miss it. We are not making movies to meet the schedule.

His words made everyone suddenly realize, and they couldn't help but smile, making the atmosphere in the box instantly relaxed.

Lu Chen smiled and said, Thank you for your understanding...

What can't I understand?

Chen Guozhi sighed and said: I was more stubborn than you back then, so I offended many people and suffered a lot, but I persevered and turned those who laughed at me into jokes!

I'm old, and I won't be able to make movies for a few years. The future belongs to you young people, and what I can do now is to accompany you all the way and send you a ride. The rest of the road has to be walked by yourself. .”

Chen Guozhi's appreciation for Lu Chen is not only because Lu Chen has contributed many outstanding programs to his Spring Festival Gala, but also because he has seen the excellent qualities in Lu Chen.

Lu Chen is very young, possesses extraordinary talent, and his popularity is unmatched in the domestic entertainment industry. However, he did not lose himself because of this. Instead, he was modest and cautious, and basically did not cause any scandals.

What is commendable is that Lu Chen not only has innovation and pursuit in film, but also has persistence and hard work.

From Chen Guozhi's point of view, if there were more artists like Lu Chen in the domestic film and television industry, it would be much better.

His questioning of Lu Chen just now was just a small test.

Chen Fei'er said: Director Chen,

You are still young...

Chen Guozhi couldn't help laughing: I am really old. Ten years ago, I could let the crew follow me to stay up all night filming, filming for three days and three nights without getting tired. Now I can't accept my old age.

Xiao Lu, your persistence is correct, but you must also pay attention to the emotions in the crew...

Lu Chen nodded and said, I know, I will find a way to boost morale.

Chen Guozhi smiled and said: Compared to the crew, the director is equivalent to the general of an army. A good general must know how to command the battle and how to control the hearts of the soldiers. Only in this way can he win.

I believe you will be a good commander!

Lu Chen listened humbly and seriously.

For the great director in front of him, Lu Chen's respect is not on the surface. In fact, during this period of time, he has learned a lot from Chen Guozhi in filming and gained a lot of valuable experience.

And Chen Guozhi has never been stingy in teaching him, and took the initiative to give him a lot of advice.

Lu Chen believes that after the baptism of Sword Out of Huashan, there will be no obstacles for him to direct the last two parts of Swordsman in the future.

It is not an exaggeration for Chen Guozhi to say that he is his mentor!

Chen Guozhi said, Lu Chen listened, and the others watched silently. This scene was frozen, and there was an indescribable harmony.

...

The next day, Swordsman continued filming at the Ningshan Film and Television City studio.

But before the start, Lu Chen first announced an important news to all the crew members, that is, after the release of the first part of Swordsman Sword Out of Huashan, Chen Fei Media will take 5% of the box office profits as The rewards of the crew are different according to the contribution ratio, everyone has a share!

Money is not omnipotent, but in many cases, the effect of money is direct, effective and powerful.

No one knows how much Swordsman can win at the box office, but no one thinks that this martial arts movie will lose money, profit is inevitable, it is nothing more than a question of more or less.

5% doesn't seem like much, but as a reward for the crew, it is definitely very generous. 5% of the 100 million profit is 5 million, and the most ordinary staff can at least share several thousand.

If Swordsman earns hundreds of millions...

It's also entirely possible!

Encouraged by generous rewards, the morale of the crew suddenly rose, and most importantly, the two core characters, Chen Guozhi and Lu Chen, were very united. Driven by them, the filming continued in an orderly manner.

One after another, the difficult shots were shot, and the actors participating in the performance grew rapidly. After passing the previous tests, the progress that was delayed in the early stage was gradually caught up later!

But when the internal problems in the filming of Swordsman were gradually resolved, external pressure appeared again.
