Cross the road of the director

Movies tell stories through the lens.

In "The Ninth Letter" filmed by Lu Jue, there are very few narrations, and more stories are told by the actors' demeanor and dialogue.In the end, when Li Feihang and Jiang Yang reunited, the flashback images showed their past, Li Feihang's confusion, and Jiang Yang's painful survival...

Their eyes met, and the two didn't speak much, but their expressions expressed everything.

When Jiang Yang died, there were no more lines, only pure music accompanied Li Feihang, and the audience watched his death together.

Until the end subtitles appeared, reminding the audience who secretly wiped their tears that the movie is over.

In the eyes of ordinary audiences, "The Ninth Letter" is a movie in which two young people learn and grow together, but also a little sad.

In the eyes of film critics and insiders, "The Ninth Letter" has changed and is no longer an ordinary movie.

"The Ninth Letter" has a high degree of completion, even more outstanding than everyone expected.Judging from the reaction of the audience in the arena, it was undoubtedly a success.

Shots, lines, composition, editing...

There are too many foreshadowings and hints in this movie, and this kind of handling is definitely not something a novice director can do.In an instant, the originally casual film critics all cheered up.

At this moment, they stopped ignoring Lu Jue, but circled him in, facing up to the fact that he was a filmmaker.

As the main creative team stepped onto the stage, everyone's eyes were on Lu Jue, and the eyes of film critics and media people were so hot, as if they wanted to penetrate Lu Jue.

During the questioning session, countless questions were thrown at Lu Jue.

In the face of these enthusiastic reporters, Lu Jue pushed Chen Yipeng all the way. If he couldn't avoid it, he would say some irrelevant words, and then smiled meaningfully.

"...Brother Yao, I didn't expect my nephew's first movie to be so interesting, amazing."

As a golden supporting role, He Yu, who has appeared in many classic movies, is by no means an idiot.After watching this movie, both experience and instinct told He Yu that it was extraordinary.

Not only him, but even Lu Wenyao himself did not expect his son to be so outstanding.

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Apparently, they all noticed the hidden heaviness in the seemingly light and simple "Ninth Letter".

Lawyer Feng Cheng, the man who helped Lu Jue in the case of changing sons, was specially invited to attend the premiere this time.When he arrived in the imperial capital yesterday afternoon, Lu Jue met him, but was called away before he had time to greet him.

As an ordinary person, Feng Cheng doesn't like to think deeply like film critics, he just simply thinks the movie "The Ninth Letter" is very interesting.

He was very happy, and wanted to talk to Lu Jue for a while, and praise him well.

However, until the end of the premiere, Feng Cheng didn't find a chance to speak with Lu Jue.He looked at Lu Jue, who was surrounded by the crowd, and knew that the child was busy.So, he greeted Wei Yuan who was taking care of him, and then left alone.

Wei Yuan was startled, and wanted to call Feng Cheng back, but he was worried about the two girls, Aqi and Lizi, who had just come to the imperial capital, so he could only watch helplessly as he went further and further away.

Feng Cheng walked slowly on the streets of the imperial capital, thinking about things. At one time, Lu Jue's miserable appearance when he was a child was in his mind, and at another time, it was Lu Jue's current stately and high-spirited appearance.

Before he knew it, he smiled wantonly, with such a proud expression on his face.

"Dudu-"

Suddenly, the car horn sounded.

As soon as Feng Cheng turned his head, he saw Lu Jue waving to him in the car, signaling him to get in the car quickly.

"You kid..."

As soon as Feng Cheng got into the car, he couldn't help complaining: "Such a good opportunity, why did you come here?"

While driving, Lu Jue smiled and said, "Uncle Feng rarely comes to the imperial capital, so I have to find time to meet you. I haven't contacted you for so long, how are you doing, uncle?"

Feng Cheng was startled, and forced a smile: "...Not bad. By the way, my daughter is your fan, Lu Jue, can I trouble you to sign it later?"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Jue agreed, and then talked about some interesting things that happened in these years, making Feng Cheng happy.

Over the years, Feng Cheng still spends a lot of time and energy helping disadvantaged groups to file lawsuits.Therefore, the money he earns is always inferior to other lawyers in the same period.

For this matter, his wife was very dissatisfied with him, and even his son complained to his father. The only consolation was that the younger daughter knew that he had helped Lu Jue and had always stood by his side.

Looking at Lu Jue who had grown into a young man, Feng Cheng was filled with pride.

"Uncle Feng, my studio has just been established here, and I want to find a law firm for long-term cooperation. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"

Lu Jue changed the subject, stopped talking about the old days, and brought up business matters abruptly.

Feng Cheng was taken aback, then smiled and said: "I'm used to staying in G City, and I'm getting older, your aunt won't let me run around." After a pause, "I'm sorry, I failed your kindness."

Lu Jue shrugged and said indifferently: "It's okay, it's just a trivial matter. Well, Uncle Feng, if you encounter any trouble, you can ask me for help."

Feng Cheng: "...Huh?"

Lu Jue: "Although I may not be able to help."

Feng Cheng was stunned, speechless for a long time.

Feeling the stiff atmosphere, Lu Jue couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "Uncle Feng, I was joking just now. I must take care of your affairs, and you must not misunderstand."

Looking at the innocent young man, Feng Cheng couldn't help laughing.

Feng Cheng truly received Lu Jue's kindness.

After a while, he said hesitantly: "Can my son take over the law firm? That kid has worked in a law firm in the Imperial City for two years. His experience may not be as good as that of a veteran, but he has always been considerate and considerate to clients. ..." Halfway through the speech, he couldn't continue.

Obviously, the first time he asked, Feng Cheng was very uncomfortable.

Feng Cheng is a person who does good deeds without asking for anything in return. He never thought that he could make requests at will just because he helped Lu Jue. He didn't want his kindness to turn into a transaction.

Just when he was feeling awkward, Lu Jue said, "Okay, which firm does Brother Feng work in? Later, Uncle Feng, you can give me your contact information, and I'll have someone contact him." After a pause, "Our list here is not Many, Brother Feng can't be disgusted."

Feng Cheng glanced at him and said, "Dare he?"

Both of them knew that film and television studios did not usually need lawyers, but when a project started, they had to rely on lawyers to sign various contracts with crew members and many actors.

When Lu Jue was filming "The Ninth Letter", he relied on people provided by Aohuang and his father's old partner, Lawyer Gao.Lawyer Gao had many employers, and Lu Jue wanted to find a long-term partner for the studio.

Feng Cheng is a reliable lawyer, as long as his son has no problems, he doesn't mind leaving this matter to him.

After this experience, Feng Cheng's mood improved obviously.

Lu Jue sent the person to the hotel, talked briefly for a while, then left alone to the restaurant to pack some food, and carried it back to the studio.

"Hey, I've sent Aqi and the others back to the hotel, where did you bring me the supper?"

Sitting cross-legged on the carpet, Wei Yuan laughed enthusiastically at Lu Jue.

Lu Jue brought the things in front of him and sat down, "Here, this is yours." Opening the takeaway, "I'm not talking about you, staying up late at night is purely sick."

Wei Yuan chuckled, "Hahahaha, then you still fall ill with me?"

Lu Jue: "..."

Now, Lu Jue was so choked that he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Wei Yuan looked ahead, dazed in a daze, and murmured, "Ah Jue, do you think we can succeed?"

The voice was very small, but Lu Jue still heard it.

Just when he was about to answer, Chen Yipeng returned to the studio with the sound of the door opening and footsteps.

As soon as Chen Yipeng came in, he sat next to the two of them, took a steamed dumpling and ate it.

He ate a dozen or so dumplings with a tired expression, and then said: "The reaction to the premiere was okay, the rest depends on the audience's feedback."

"I didn't say that, the fight in May 18.4st was really too fierce, and I managed to bite down the [-] film schedule. Lu Jue, "The Ninth Letter" is the first work of our studio. It’s so big, if the audience doesn’t buy it, it’s going to be a big trouble. You’d better be mentally prepared.”

This time, in May 28st, there was an imported overseas blockbuster that accounted for 21.3% of the film schedule, followed by Mo Feiyang's new crime film, which took [-]% of the film schedule.

Thanks to Chen Yipeng's hard work, Lu Jue's "The Ninth Letter" finally overwhelmed the others and took the third place.For this 18.4%, not only Chen Yipeng, but also Lu Wenyao's contacts were used, which is really mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people.

Even so, Chen Lei's romance films are closely followed by 16.8% of the films scheduled, and may overtake them at any time.

The filming cost of "The Ninth Letter" was 800 million, and then another 200 million was spent on the announcement, for a total investment of 1000 million.Compared with other works in the same period, it can only be regarded as the younger brother.

Chen Yipeng knew that Lu Jue was rich, but no matter how rich he was, he couldn't spend all his money on movies that couldn't pay back.

As a newly established studio, Qingkong must show its hard power to make people in the industry change their minds.Only when Chen Yipeng deals with them can he straighten his back and gain the attention of others.

"Ah, I know."

Lu Jue stroked his chin, and said thoughtfully, "I'll go to the cinema tomorrow to find out what's going on with Mo Feiyang and the others."

Chen Yipeng rolled his eyes and said: "It's all here now, what's the use of finding out? I mean marketing, marketing! Don't you know how to play some kind of network marketing? We lure people into movie theaters and take Let’s talk at the box office.”

Hearing this, Lu Jue shook his head and said, "I've played a wave of teaser deception before, and it's not suitable to take action now, otherwise it may cause a backlash. Old Chen, it's too late, caring will cause chaos."

Chen Yipeng: "..."

He blushed and wanted to say something unwillingly, but he still couldn't say it.

Seeing this, Lu Jue comforted him, ""The Ninth Letter" is not a high-quality product, but it is still no problem to get back the copy, Brother Chen, don't worry."

Chen Yipeng muttered: "It's better to be like this."

Faced with old Chen Shensi's frightened look, Lu Jue lost his temper and just ignored him.

In fact, the story of "The Ninth Letter" is exactly what Lu Jue has experienced. The difference is that his Li Feihang has long known that something is wrong with Jiang Yang, and he is the leader of Jiang Yang's thinking about future medicine.

Under his influence, Jiang Yang did not give up hope even though he was seriously ill.He knew that he was hopeless, but he still hoped to save future patients with ALS through medical speculation.

In the end, ten years after Jiang Yang's death, the research on ALS was broken through, and tens of thousands of patients with ALS had the hope of being cured.

During this period, Lu Jue climbed up step by step, overcame many diseases, and became a world-renowned doctor.In his short life, he made his own contribution to the medical cause. At the age of 50, he also won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in that world, leaving his name in the history of medicine.

It's a busy and fulfilling world.

Lu Jue filmed "The Ninth Letter" out of selfishness.

For this filming, he changed Jiang Yang's character design. In order to make ordinary audiences feel comfortable, he put all his emphasis on friendship and struggle, and left his dark side half exposed for the film critics to observe.

As he said, "The Ninth Letter" may not be called a masterpiece, but it can also be called a masterpiece, and it is no problem to pay back.The question now is what are the other works in the same period?How much box office will be divided?

"What are you so worried about?"

"As we all know, one sequel is worse than the first one. The second sequel of the "Legend of Egypt" introduced this time is not good. Could it be that the third one can turn around?"

"In addition, Mo Feiyang's movies have always had obscure plots, and they are notoriously popular but not popular. I guess the box office is just like that. Let me say, our "Ninth Letter" is the best champion in May [-]st this time hahahaha ..."

The more Wei Yuan talked, the happier he became, as if seeing "The Ninth Letter" reached the top.

Lu Jue glanced at him, laughed and said, "Yes, yes, our "Ninth Letter" must be fine."

Wei Yuan: "Isn't that right? Haha, Mo Feiyang's younger brother was still arrogant before. When we surpass him this time, I'd like to see how arrogant Tian Zhibin will be."

Lu Jue: "..."

It's okay if you don't say anything, but after saying this, Lu Jue remembered the person he met in Weiyuan School.

I still remember that Mo Feiyang, as a new generation of director who turned out to be born in the sky, produced works with good ratings, high topicality, and were loved by the audience.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for him and this person to become opponents at the same time, and together they boarded the duel stage of the [-]st gear.

"Know yourself, know your enemy, and win every battle. If you really want to overwhelm Mo Feiyang, then go to the cinema with me tomorrow to find out about them."

As soon as Lu Jue said this, Wei Yuan froze immediately.

He turned his head and said pitifully: "I haven't rested all day, why do I still have to go to the cinema? Cousin, you can't concentrate, and it's easy to get distracted while watching a movie. And don't we have to pay attention to the box office fluctuations on the first day? If we run around casually, what if people can't find us?"

Lu Jue: "..."

He knew that Wei Yuan's thoughts at the moment were all on the box office.

So Lu Jue no longer insisted, but instead urged Wei Yuan and Chen Yipeng to go to rest quickly.Just kidding, everyone is tired these days, if you don't rest, how can you have the energy to care about the box office on the first day tomorrow?

Knowing this truth, Chen Yipeng didn't stay any longer, and went back after saying hello.

Wei Yuan couldn't bear to leave, so he went to the lounge to lie down, saying that this was his bed, and he could just rest here.

In this regard, Lu Jue fulfilled his wish and went home alone to meet the big soft bed.

The author has something to say: I saw that some young ladies thought the story of "The Ninth Letter" was very ordinary.

Let me explain here that words and pictures are different, and movies use pictures to express stories.If you count carefully, it is difficult to write the highlights of some classic movies if they are narrated in words [laugh and cry]

Well, the defense is over (?), I admit that my pen is indeed not strong enough to write the highlights of the movie, I will continue to work hard [Bow]

Hohohoho, the 12:3 update on the first day has been achieved~ Hurry up and give me a reward =[-]=
