Chen Guozhi stared at Lu Chen, looking solemn and dignified.
As one of the top figures in the domestic film and television industry, Chen Guozhi not only enjoys a reputation in the Chinese language circle, but also has a great reputation in the world. 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 tall the actors and artists are, they don't want to play big names. More than one or two movie stars have been scolded and taught by him, including many famous figures.
This is why everyone feels nervous. Chen Guozhi is a figure who doesn't rub sand in his eyes. No matter how popular and famous Lu Chen is, he won't want to have good fruit to eat if he offends him.
If there is a face-to-face conflict between the two, it will be a disaster for the crew of Xiaoao Jianghu!
Lu Chen didn't avoid Chen Guozhi's eyes. His eyes were serious and frank.
The big movie "Xiaoao Jianghu" is an important beginning of the martial arts IP plan. The success or failure will directly affect the future development of Chenfei media, including him.
For this plan, after a long time of preparation, Lu Chen has made a lot of efforts and efforts. The capital investment alone has reached hundreds of millions. Moreover, in the foreseeable future, the proportion of investment will only become larger and larger, so he can only succeed and can't fail.
What is the key to the success of a film?
Some say it's quality, some say it's publicity, some say it's hard investment, others say it depends on luck!
Lu Chen believes that these are very important, but the most important thing is the attitude towards the film, sincere attitude!
Without a sincere attitude, how can we make a good film?
Perhaps some people make money through publicity and speculation, holding shoddy films, and others throw money at stars to attract attention by sensational effects, but the audience's patience is limited.
Those grandstanding things, even if they can succeed for a while, will eventually be abandoned by the market. Only works completed in good faith can win real recognition and have long-term vitality and influence.
Lu Chen hopes that "Xiaoao Jianghu" is such a work, and he is also working hard for it.
Although it greatly delayed the progress of shooting.
If Chen Guozhi is dissatisfied with his insistence and even conflicts with him, he will not compromise again if he respects the other party - even if Chen Guozhi quits the crew!
Chen Guozhi suddenly smiled.
His smile was generous with relief, and he looked at Lu Chen's eyes with a little more appreciation.
"Quality must be guaranteed first..."
The big director smiled and said, "you're right. I was worried that you couldn't bear the pressure. Now I'm relieved. If you miss the schedule, you'll miss it. We don't make movies to catch the schedule."
His words made everyone suddenly understand and couldn't help smiling, making the atmosphere in the box relaxed in an instant.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "thank you for your understanding..."
"What can't I understand?"
Chen Guozhi sighed: "I was more stubborn than you, so I offended many people and suffered a lot, but I insisted and turned those who laughed into jokes!"
"I'm old, and the film can't be made for a few years. The future belongs to you young people. What I can do now is to accompany you all the way and give you a ride. You have to go on your own."
Chen Guozhi's appreciation of Lu Chen is not only because Lu Chen has contributed many excellent programs to his Spring Festival Gala, but also because he has seen the excellent quality of Lu Chen.
Lu Chen is very young, has extraordinary talent and high popularity, which is unmatched in the domestic entertainment industry. However, he has not lost his self arrogance. Instead, he is modest and cautious. Basically, he has not made any scandal.
It is commendable that Lu Chen not only has innovation and pursuit in the film, but also has persistence and efforts.
In Chen Guozhi's view, it would be much better if there were more artists like Lu Chen in the domestic film and television industry.
His question to Lu Chen just now was just a small test.
Chen Feier said, "director Chen, you are still very young..."
Chen Guozhi lost his smile: "I'm really old. Ten years ago, I could let the crew stay up late with me and shoot for three days and nights. Now I can't refuse to be old."
"Xiao Lu, your persistence is correct, but you have to pay attention to the mood in the crew..."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "I know. I'll find a way to boost my morale."
Chen Guozhi said with a smile: "compared with the crew, the director is equivalent to a general of an army. A good general should not only know how to command operations, but also know how to master the hearts of soldiers, so as to win."
"I believe you will be a good commander!"
Lu Chen listened modestly and seriously.
Lu Chen's respect for the great director in front of him is not superficial. In fact, he has learned a lot and gained a lot of valuable experience with Chen Guozhi in film shooting during this period of time.
Chen Guozhi was never stingy to teach 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 few obstacles for him to direct the last two parts of Xiaoao Jianghu in the future.
Chen Guozhi said he was his mentor, which is not too much!
Chen Guozhi said that Lu Chen listened and others watched silently. This scene was fixed and had unspeakable harmony.
……
The next day, Xiaoao Jianghu continued to be filmed on the set of Ningshan film and television city.
However, before starting up, Lu Chen first announced an important news to all the staff of the crew, that is, after the release of the first song "sword out of Huashan" of "Xiaoao Jianghu", Chenfei media will take 5% of the box office profit as the reward for the crew. According to the contribution ratio, everyone has a share!
Money is not everything, but in many cases, the role of money is direct, effective and powerful.
No one knows how much box office "Xiaoao Jianghu" can win, but no one thinks that this martial arts film will lose money. It is inevitable to make a profit. It is just a matter of more and less.
5% doesn't seem like much, but as a reward for the crew, it's definitely very generous. 5% of the 100 million profit is 5 million, and the most ordinary staff can be divided into thousands at least.
If Xiaoao Jianghu makes hundreds of millions of profits
It's entirely possible!
Inspired by the rich rewards, the morale of the crew rose sharply, and the most important thing is that the two core characters Chen Guozhi and Lu Chen are very united. Driven by them, the shooting work continued in an orderly manner.
After shooting one difficult shot after another, the actors participating in the performance grew rapidly. After many tests in front, the delayed progress in the early stage was gradually caught up in the back!
However, when the internal problems of Xiaoao Jianghu were gradually solved, the external pressure appeared again.
