Chapter 413: Future Planning
Lu Lin thought a lot for a moment, and when he picked up his mobile phone, some netizens proposed to ask him to shoot other films in the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series.
The strong psychological gap made him a little crying and laughing, "Why can this also be on the hot search?"
Gao Wen hurriedly explained, "No, "Kunlun Divine Palace" has just been released, and you and Miss Jing Yan are very popular!"
Lu Lin handed the phone back and said, "Cheng, I know about this!"
Gao Wen took the phone and went out apologetically. Wu Jing on the sofa immediately smiled and said: "I read the news, and I wanted to tell you when I came, but I forgot about it! If you want me to say that this is a good idea, even if you are too lazy to direct, you can ask someone to shoot a TV series, let Jing Yan star, how can you help her increase her popularity again!"
When Lu Lin heard this, he couldn't help but think!
To say that he and Jing Yan have been together for a year and a half in the blink of an eye, and their relationship has always been very good. Since each other is very sincere, it's time to plan for each other.
Although he also gave Jing Xiang some roles in the past, and also filmed the all-star lineup of "Yitian", he only piggybacked on it, and did not think about the future for Jing Xiang in a very detailed and far-reaching way.
If you want to win the grand prize and win the movie, the young lady's talent seems to be a little worse. But her acting skills are still passable, all she lacks is a suitable role.
Like Bao Bell, who was scolded by netizens miserably, and felt that this person had no audience popularity, when he met the role of Zhao Tai in "Big Man", he could give people a feeling of "explosive acting skills", which was very pleasantly surprised.
Like Wu Yifan, a little fresh meat with a "windward pretend" temperament, his performance in "Lao Paoer" is also very eye-catching.
Jing Yan still has acting skills, what is missing is only a suitable role, which needs to be found.
She just finished filming "Zhu Xian" recently, and the role in "Wolf Warrior 2" is not heavy, but she can go to shoot "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Winning an award, she has no hope for a while, let's swipe the screen first!"
Wu Jing said with a smile: "This route is absolutely okay, the TV series is too popular after filming, maybe I will bring you a Golden Eagle Goddess back!"
Lu Lin remembered another time and space, Fat Di's encounter after obtaining the Golden Eagle Goddess, and said with a smile: "This is not in a hurry, let's swipe the screen first!"
After thinking about it, he called Gao Wen in and asked her to contact someone from Penguin Pictures. Because the film and television copyright of "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is more complicated, the copyright of the first four films belongs to Mengxiang Pictures, the last four belong to Wanda Pictures, but the TV belongs to Penguin Pictures.
Gao Wen listened to the busy response, and went to contact Penguin Pictures without mentioning it, while Lu Lin continued to discuss the preparation details of "Wolf Warrior 2" with Wu Jing.
In the afternoon, I was tired of chatting, so I went out of the company and found a high-end restaurant, and after ordering a few dishes in the box, I chatted while eating.
After a few glasses of wine, Wu Jing's face was slightly red, and he began to talk more. "Think about the filming of "The Return of the Great Sage", and then think about it now, why does it always feel like a dream?"
Lu Lin laughed, "If you like nostalgia, it means that you are old!"
Wu Jing nodded, "It's a little, I was thinking about having a masterpiece, but when I really got it, I was afraid that the sequel would smash my own signboard!"
At this time, the box office and word-of-mouth of "Wolf Warrior" both received success, which made Wu Jing's ecstasy and pressure increase sharply. Especially when writing the script, I often have sleepless nights.
"There's something I've always been curious about!" Wu Jing took a sip of Moutai directly into the bottle, put it down and asked.
Lu Lin smiled, "Say it!"
"Your movies are shot too fast, and they are almost catching up with the speed of the Hong Kong film era! But they are low-budget films, and they dare to shoot without a script, and you are a special effects blockbuster, so you are not afraid of missing out?" Wu Jing asked very puzzled, and it is estimated that the question was held in his heart for a while.
Lu Lin laughed, "I'm a commercial blockbuster, not an art film, from the plot to the rhythm, to the audience's viewing emotions, there are routines and rules to follow." I'm just taking the medicine according to the prescription and combining the different elements according to a similar routine. I believe in the rules and methods that I have summed up, and I am not afraid of failure, but I shoot well......!"
The so-called success finds a way, and failure makes excuses. When interviewed by the media, many successful people will talk about various methods, and their words are miraculous and fantastic. But a considerable part of the "secret of success" is blind fooling, and Lu Lin is the same at the moment.
In fact, as far as the speed of creation is faster, some people have asked about it, and Lu Lin is also as foolish as he is now.
However, some people believed it, Wu Jing stretched out his right thumb and praised: "Yes, it really can!"
After touching a glass with Lu Lin, Wu Jing said again: "There is another thing, I am also very curious!"
"You still have a lot of curious things, huh?" Lu Lin said with a smile.
Wu Jing pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm just the two of you, if you change a reporter on the other side, there must be a bunch of problems!"
Lu Lin nodded slightly, and listened to the other party: "In the past two years, you have been making special effects blockbusters like this, two times a year, don't you feel tired and boring?"
"You shouldn't be asking for someone else, right? Someone can't stand me occupying the summer and Chinese New Year stalls?" Lu Lin smiled meaningfully.
Wu Jing exclaimed angrily: "Look at what you said, senior brother, am I that kind of person? Just the of those guys in the circle, don't think about making a good film, just thinking about how to make money, let me ask for them?"
Lu Lin was also suspicious by nature, so he asked this sentence casually. Combined with what happened to Wu Jing in another time and space, he also knew that he was not all the way with those people, so he hurriedly said: "I'll just say that, don't be excited!"
He raised his glass and said, "It's all in the wine!"
Wu Jing raised the bottle and touched it with Lu Lin, took a sip of Moutai and said with a big tongue: "I think you are now a big boss and a famous director, and your every move actually has a great impact on the Chinese film industry." Besides, senior brother, I plan to eat with you all the time, and reveal your grand goals, don't I also have the bottom of my heart, don't I feel uplifted!"
Lu Lin laughed when he heard this, and said, "Senior brother, when did you learn to be so good at complimenting people!"
Wu Jing smiled honestly, "How can I compliment people, it's all the truth!"
Lu Lin nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Actually, there is no too grand plan, but I plan to enter the international distribution market from 16 years!"
Wu Jing was taken aback when he heard this, "You are going to grab the job of the Big Six in Hollywood!"
Hollywood's six major studios dominate most of the world's film markets, and visually stunning special effects blockbusters are just one of the reasons for their success, and their distribution networks around the world are another pillar of their ability to bring films to overseas markets.
The distribution network was built up in the early days of Hollywood, initially by hiring agencies and middlemen to sell films overseas, similar to Longlin Pictures' overseas distribution strategy today.
After World War I, as the United States gradually replaced France as the dominant player in the international film market, American film companies no longer relied on the middleman-agency model, but began to distribute films overseas by setting up branches and hiring their own employees to run them.
According to statistics, the global distribution network of a major contemporary Hollywood studio employs as many as 1,000 people, not counting the short-term employment of project-based employees, which is quite expensive for manpower and office costs.
In an effort to save costs, the three major Hollywood companies, Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, and MGM (which later withdrew), joined forces to form United International Pictures in 1981. Headquartered in London, it has offices in 16 countries around the world and works with authorized third parties in 43 other countries to distribute the films of several parent companies in cinema, audio-visual and television channels in overseas markets.
In addition to United International Pictures, several other major Hollywood studios have also set up their own large-scale international distribution departments, including Disney's Bowell International, Sony's Columbia-Samsung International Distribution Group, and Warner Bros. International Pictures, a subsidiary of Warner Bros.
Longlin Pictures now has a place in the international film industry with special effects blockbusters, but if it wants to grow to be on a par with the six Hollywood majors, it has to build an overseas distribution network!
