Chapter 460: To Each His Own Calculation

The mainland box office of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" in this time and space is 2.81 billion, and the overseas income is small, so it is basically ignored by the industry.

The impact is that realistic themes have been re-emphasized by various film and television companies, and Longlin's two rookie directors, Wen Muyu and Guo Fan, are the first time to enter the eyes of the industry bosses.

In recent years, many actors have turned into directors, Lu Lin, Zhao Yanzi, Xu Zheng, Deng Chao, Su Youpeng, etc. are all actors, and there are really not many directors who have been recognized by the industry for their works.

Now that Wen Muyu is successful, Guo Fan, who directed "The Wandering Earth", has also attracted much attention. After all, Lu Lin started out as a special effects blockbuster, and it is inconceivable that Guo Fan can be recognized to take over "The Wandering Earth".

"The Wandering Earth" has already been completed, and it is tentatively scheduled for the summer of 2017. In addition to paying attention, the more concerned question is, who is next?

Lu Lin worked hard in the past few years, and two special effects blockbusters in a year rotated in a row, and the speed was terrifying. But as I get older, I will get married and have children in the future, and I will definitely not be able to maintain such a creative speed.

The "Chinese New Director Project" is to train his successor, and when he cuts his workload, it has almost become a consensus in the industry that someone can continue to make money for Longlin Pictures.

However, directors who are really capable have always been sought after by major companies. The apprentices who have been taught by more than ten years of hard work can also jump out and tear each other apart with the master. If Wen Muyu and Guo Fan can gain a foothold in the circle, they will definitely dig the wall!

But it is best to start "mixing sand" to exert influence at the beginning of Lu Lin's selection!

"I all know that "Lich War" is very important, and if I change to another director, I am afraid that it will take three years to sharpen the sword, but the fans of "Company of Heroes" are also very anxious!

Lu Lin smiled, "Mr. Chen's news is down, it's Wan Da's Xiao Wang who said it anyway! I didn't think too much about it, I really couldn't be busy!"

Chen Wu said in his heart: "If you are too busy, don't hold on to the project and not let go!"

However, he said: "In the past two years, the popularity of the "League of Legends" game has continued to rise, which can be regarded as laying the foundation for the global sales of the "Company of Heroes" series.

Lu Lin said with a smile: "Listening to this, Chen always plans to take over the third part of "Company of Heroes", and plans to make a big movie with the background of "League of Legends"?"

Chen Wu was taken aback when he heard this, but there were executives from Penguin Films who proposed to take back the film and television adaptation rights of "League of Legends" strongly, make the third part of "Company of Heroes" by himself, and make a big movie with a game background!

However, some executives raised objections, after all, Penguin Film and Television has been established for a short time, and the legal risks of the lawsuit with Lu Lin are not mentioned. Just the production of special effects blockbusters, they don't have this strength!

And those who rashly embarked on special effects productions basically died very miserably. Far away is "The Legend of the White Snake", and the closest is "The Legend of the Gods". From this point of view, continuing to cooperate with Lu Lin is still a win-win choice.

The only thing that Penguin Pictures can't stand is that there are too many movies to be shot in Lu Lin's hands, and if he really has to wait for Lu Lin to shoot "Company of Heroes 3" and the big movie with the game background one by one, it is estimated that the game will be cold.

This kind of foreseeable loss is difficult for Penguin Films to accept!

"Director Lu, don't think about it too much, our Penguin Film and Television has no other meaning, we just hope that "Male Soldier Company 3" can strike early while the iron is hot, you have money to make over there, and I will also train the team here!" Chen Wu explained, and he also kept a lot of money to make.

Lu Lin played with the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen has this idea, but there is nothing wrong with it, I am really too busy with many projects here! I don't know when the movie version will have to wait!"

When Chen Wu heard this, he always felt that the other party was pretending to be inexplicable.

Song Ge suddenly said: "What Director Lu said is true, there are too many good works and good themes, and there is no shortage of money, so there are only reliable people!"

Chen Wu had a feeling that he was going to be dragged into the gang, but fortunately, Lu Lin just said: "It's really a bit of a waste, since Mr. Chen has a heart, and Penguin Company is also quite powerful, "Male Soldier Company 3", the proportion of investment share between Longlin and Penguin Pictures remains unchanged, director, Wuershan is not bad!"

Chen Wu was a little surprised when he heard this, because the rookie director he wanted to recommend was another one. As for Wuer Mountain, he is talking about cooperation with Penguin Pictures at the moment.

In another time and space, Wuershan devoted himself to filming "Fengshen", and finally won the recognition of "Yanjing Culture" led by Song Ge, and invested 2 billion to shoot three films together.

In this world, Song Ge is in charge of Longlin Pictures, and he already has Lu Lin's "Flood Movie Universe", and he also has a preliminary plan for the setting and plot of the Fengshen part. There is some conflict with the script and setting of Wuer Mountain, and the investment is not discussed!

But Wuershan is indeed one of the few people in Chinese movies who can shoot special effects blockbusters well. It would be a pity that such talents would not be used! If it is through the tripartite cooperation of Penguin Pictures, everyone can benefit.

Chen Wu was a little surprised by Lu Lin's proposal, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was quite feasible. "Company of Heroes 3" has the fame of the first two parts, and there is a "League of Legends" game backing, and the possibility of pit is relatively small.

Moreover, Longlin Pictures has written all the scripts, but what is missing is only a qualified director under the "producer-centered system", and Wuershan, who is bent on getting investment from Penguin Pictures at the moment, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

It's done, once again proving the strength of Wuer Mountain, maybe you can really think about taking him under your command. And the "Fengshen Trilogy" that he is bent on creating can also be considered for filming, and it may be able to compete with Lu Lin's "Flood Movie Universe" at that time.

Chen Wu thought of this and said with a smile: "Cheng, then I'll go back and discuss with Director Wuershan, if I can accept the sequel to Director Lu's blockbuster, he will be willing!"

The guests and hosts of the celebration banquet enjoyed themselves, and after they dispersed, Lu Lin and Song Ge took a car and talked about "Male Soldier Company 3"!

"In the past two years, Wuershan has been looking for investment everywhere and wants to shoot the Fengshen trilogy, but he doesn't accept any projects, if Chen Wu can fool him into taking over "Male Soldier Company 3", it would be a good thing!" Song Ge said with a smile, looking scheming.

In fact, in many business cooperation, everyone knows each other's small schemes and calculations, and it depends on whose means are higher!

Longlin Pictures' dilemma is that its talent reserves are insufficient, and there are too few directors who can take charge of themselves. Lu Lin, the big boss of the harm, has no vacation for a year, and he is tired all day long, and there are still a bunch of projects to be developed.

If "Flood Movie Universe", "Heroic Company Series", and "Science Fiction Blockbuster" are all directed by Lu Lin himself, many classic online movie versions such as "Zhu Xian", "Star Change", and "Big Splash Monkey" will become a lifetime series!
