The news that Lu Heng and Wei Linxuan held an engagement ceremony on a luxurious cruise ship instantly detonated the entire entertainment circle.Although the parties involved did not invite the news media to board the ship for interviews, the news that Director Fang Kaizhi and friends in Lu Heng's circle had rented a whole luxury cruise ship to go out to sea has been widely circulated for a long time. But you can squat at the pier where the cruise ship is docked to take photos of everyone boarding the ship. Even the guests attending the ceremony will record some small videos at the ceremony, take some group photos and post them on the Internet, and then Aite Luheng, Wei Linxuan and others people.

When nearly two-thirds of the celebrities in the entertainment industry retweeted their congratulations on Weibo, the fans and movie fans who reacted half a beat later realized what happened—— Not only did their idol come out boldly, but they even held an extremely luxurious engagement ceremony under the witness of their parents, relatives and friends.

Many entertainment media immediately dispatched drones to track the cruise ship after clarifying the fact that they were not allowed to board the ship for interviews, in an attempt to condescendingly take some sneak shots, and then everyone captured the scene of the ship sailing on the high seas all night, and the fireworks continued all night.

Night, sea water, bright moon, fireworks, and dolphins and whales jumping out of the sea from time to time look more and more beautiful under the high-definition lens of the drone. The melodious, dreamlike scene immediately attracted the screams of many female fans. Even if the parties did not appear in the camera, there is no doubt that this luxurious and dreamy engagement ceremony still hit everyone's hearts.

For a while, fans screamed and left messages on various forums and social platforms, some wished Lu Heng and Wei Linxuan, and some screamed that they also wanted such an engagement ceremony—a wedding ceremony is also fine. ah!

The media reporters who had been squatting on the pier for a day and a night were eager to interview Lu Heng and the guests who came to the engagement ceremony when the cruise ship docked.Although these reporters still don't know the "customs clearance test" planned by the big coffee planning group and the wolf dog relatives and friends group, they only know from the interesting photos uploaded by these guests on Weibo. Media reporters who work in the entertainment circle can keenly sense the news material contained in it—it is definitely the kind that can make headlines.

However, to the surprise of all the media reporters, even though the famous guests and relatives and friends were interviewed, no one revealed what happened on the cruise ship. Everyone just wished Lu Heng and Wei Linxuan well, Sincerely said that I had a lot of fun on the cruise ship.Director Fang Kaizhi is a very qualified and innovative director of commercial films...

This statement immediately made the confused media reporters even more confused.However, before they could ask any further questions, the guests all expressed that they were tired from playing all night, and they wanted to go back to rest.So in the cool sea breeze, everyone waved at the reporters who stayed at the pier overnight, wishing to blow their hair into the shape of seabird wings, and left one by one.

Only the reporters squatting on the pier were holding microphones and cameras and looked at the speeding cars and the leftover exhaust fumes that were blown away by the wind with despairing expressions on their faces——

What can they do!Even if their hair is blown into seabird wings, it doesn't mean that they can fly up to the sky and stand side by side with the sun, let alone have the courage to step forward and stop the superstars who are determined to run - they are also very desperate!

On the other side, Lu Heng and Wei Linxuan also got into the car with their parents and family and left quietly.

The reporters guarding the pier looked at each other, only to feel that the sea breeze blowing in front of them was even more desolate.

In order to be able to grab an exclusive interview and obtain first-hand information at the first time, all the major media have tried their best to contact Hengxuan Studio and Lu Heng himself. There are also some paparazzi reporters who are squatting outside Lu Heng's community or working. It's a pity that Lu Heng and Wei Linxuan took a special plane to New Zealand on the third day after the engagement ceremony to focus on the special effects production of "Havoc in Heaven".

With this departure, it was as if the god had disappeared, and he did not appear in front of the public for a long time.Let the world continue to circulate about their luxurious and dreamy engagement ceremony, and the meaningful smiles of other guests who attended the engagement ceremony when they were asked about it in the announcement interview, fans and movie fans who are holding back Don't want to scratch your heart.

Until the summer of 2009, James Studio, who had been following up "Atlanta" in Hollywood, held a press conference, announcing that "Atlanta" had completed its post-production and officially set a Christmas schedule for 09.

As "Atlanta" started its pre-release promotion around the world, Lu Heng, who has been staying in New Zealand and closely watched the post-production of "Havoc in Heaven", has once again entered the field of vision of movie fans around the world.

Director James specially called Wei Linxuan, hoping that Hengxuan Studio would be in charge of the release promotion of "Atlanta", and invited Lu Heng to follow up the global promotion of the film.

In addition, Director James also specifically asked about the progress of the later stage of "Havoc in Heaven"?

Then I learned from Lu Heng that "Havoc in Heaven" will also complete the post-production at the end of the month, and when it is going to be scheduled for the 10-year Spring Festival schedule, I am filled with emotion instantly——

As the "highest-grossing and most money-burning" Hollywood director on the planet, James Frank's "Atlanta" was completed in 07, but the post-production special effects part was done intermittently for more than two years, because the budget of the crew was too high. So fast that Director James had to pull investment everywhere during post-production to ensure that the post-production of "Atlanta" can go on normally.

As a result, because the subprime mortgage crisis triggered a global financial crisis, the economy of the entire M country was very depressed.Many of the most powerful investors on Wall Street had to go bankrupt under the turbulent stock market. Even the investment banks that survived were becoming more conservative in their investment and were not interested in James' movies at all.

In the end, it was Lu Heng and Wei Linxuan who came forward to invest an additional 5000 million M in "Atlanta" under the name of Hengxuan Studio, which was considered to solve the dilemma that "Atlanta" was almost shut down due to insufficient funds.

Even so, "Atlanta" also delayed the progress of the entire post-production due to insufficient early-stage funds.So much so that "Atlanta", which completed the pre-production a year earlier than "Havoc in Heaven", actually completed post-production at (almost) the same time as "Havoc in Heaven".

In addition to the "Chinese painting team" hired by Lu Heng, which gave enough inspiration to the special effects studio, the more reason for this is that the budget of Hengxuan Studio is relatively more sufficient than that of James Studio. Magic Special Effects Studio itself is a subsidiary company of Huaxia Emperor Entertainment. With this relationship, even if the special effects studio encounters any technical difficulties during the process of overcoming the technology, Hengxuan Studio can also directly increase the budget to help The special effects studio tackles the problem without having to consider troublesome things like the operating costs of two independent companies.In addition, brother Lu Chi graduated from Stanford and is very familiar with high-tech talents in Silicon Valley. When Shenmo Digital encounters problems, he can help introduce some laboratories in Silicon Valley to help solve problems...

Over and over again, "Havoc in Heaven" was launched nearly a year later than "Atlanta", but it is understandable that it almost completed the post-production before "Atlanta".

But understanding is all about understanding. When old James thinks that Hengxuan Studio has a sufficient budget that can be called "no bottom line", and then thinks that he has to face the dilemma of insufficient funds to raise funds everywhere every time he makes a movie, it is a bit sad. of.I couldn't help but said to Wei Linxuan and Lu Heng on the other end of the phone: "If I make a movie again in the future, I must ask you to help me invest!"

"That's our honor." Wei Linxuan responded with a smile.Although director James is rated as "the most money-burning director on the planet" by the good people in the circle, for more investors, James Frank also means making money.If it wasn't for the financial crisis affecting Wall Street, it would not be so easy for Hengxuan Studio to continue investing in "Atlanta".

At that time, it is not certain that "Atlanta" will really be released after "Havoc in Heaven"——

Although Director James himself doesn't mind whether the world's first 3D film is "Atlanta" or "Havoc in Heaven", but when he thinks that he has always been obsessed with the innovation of 3D-IMAX technology and the efforts he has made for it, if "Havoc in Heaven" "Really "coming from behind" because of the budget, even director James would have some regrets.

Thinking of this, Director James couldn't help but admire Lu Heng and Wei Linxuan more and more - if it weren't for the help of the two of them, "Atlanta" would never have been released as scheduled in the 09 Christmas schedule.

Director James was very grateful for Lu Heng's generosity and friendliness. When he learned that "Havoc in Heaven" was about to be released in the Spring Festival after Christmas, he immediately said: "Since "Atlanta" was released a month earlier than "Havoc in Heaven", you guys Why don't you pass me a copy of the promotional video of "Havoc in Heaven", and I will edit it directly before the opening title of "Atlanta", and help you make a promotional video, okay?"

Director James did this because he wanted to save a lot of publicity expenses for "Havoc in Heaven".After all, everyone on earth knows that if they want to do pre-roll advertisements through theaters, they must pay the movie theaters a lot of money—especially movies that are released in prime time.But if Director James advertises "Havoc in Heaven" directly on the opening credits, even theaters all over the world will have to hold their noses to recognize it—unless they don't want "Atlanta" to enter their cinemas!

Lu Heng knew what Director James wanted, but just as Director James valued and innovated 3D-IMAX technology, Lu Heng also knew how much Director James valued.What's more, Director James taught him how to shoot 3D-IMAX movies from the perspective of a director... Facing the old James who is also a teacher and a friend, Lu Heng certainly will not seize the honor that originally belonged to the old James for the sake of a false name. This will inevitably lead to the suspicion of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.Lu Heng didn't bother to do such unkind things.

What's more, even if Lu Heng ranked the schedule of "Havoc in Heaven" behind "Atlanta", he also believed that with the quality of "Havoc in Heaven", he would never be taken away by "Atlanta".

And this kind of confidence is based on Lu Heng's understanding and impression of "Atlanta" in his two lifetimes, and also based on his optimism for "Havoc in Heaven".

This time, he will prove to the global audience that even facing the most profitable Hollywood director on the planet, Huaxia movies will definitely not be inferior.

Of course, being ambitious is being ambitious. Facing director James’ kindness, Lu Heng did not forget to express his gratitude with a smile and agreed to it—competition is competition. He would not be so stupid as to waste such free publicity!

after all.He is also an investor in "Havoc in Heaven", the more the movie earns, the richer his small coffers will be, isn't it_(:з)∠)_
