Chapter 458: A new generation is better than the old

Yu Dong started as a publisher, relying on his vision. To say that he can't see how pitty "Legend of the Gods" is, it would be nonsense. It's just that he owes favors and can't erase his face, and he has the same nature as Liyang.

But it is estimated that with his shrewdness, he will not invest too much in this movie, just in name.

According to director Xu Yu, there are a total of 2,200 special effects shots in the whole film, and only 15 shots have no special effects, completely creating a non-existent overhead mythical world.

The reporter asked Director Xu Yu if he had the confidence to surpass the desolate universe created by Lu Lin, and at this time, some cameras turned around and looked at Lu Lin who was sitting in the front row, who could only keep smiling.

"Director Lu's special effects blockbusters have always been the object of my study. "Legend of the Gods" dare not say that it surpasses, but in terms of special effects, it is definitely comparable to "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" and "Nuwa Mending the Sky"!" Xu Yu talked eloquently on the stage, while Lu Lin sat quietly in the audience, quietly watching him brag.

In the past two years, several "special effects blockbusters" have been released in the mainland, and they all said at the press conference that they could be compared with Lu Lin's works, but they were basically pitted after the release. Xu Eucalyptus's "Legend of the Gods" is the more eye-catching one among the pits, and he really dares to blow it!

It is estimated that he was afraid that Lu Lin would be displeased, so he said something embarrassing to the filmmaker, and he was not invited to come on stage to say a few words.

After that, Xiang Hua and Chen Lan were interviewed, and the former recalled that he had not invested in movies for 10 years, because the piracy in the Xiangjiang market was rampant back then, resulting in no one entering the theater, which made him disheartened.

Now that I have found that the mainland has undergone earth-shaking changes, I feel that the movie is still very promising, and I plan to fight again.

It is said that the mainland market entered the era of 2 billion yuan in a single chip a few years ago, and this reaction is absolutely an afterthought!

The host said: Many people grew up watching the movie "China Xing", and they owe Mr. Xiang a movie ticket.

Xiang Tai Chen Lan reminded the host: "The stalk that owes money for movie tickets has been stolen by others!" is naturally a mockery of Zhou Xingxing.

However, today's theme is the premiere of "Legend of the Gods", and no reporter asked Xiang Tai about the grievances with Zhou Xingxing.

After that, Li Yangzhong, Fan Li, Liang Jiahui and others talked about their filming experience, and a total of more than 40 points were discussed, and the premiere ceremony ended.

During this period, Li Yangzhong also joked, "Boss Yu (Dong) won't let me watch the film, I said I won't show it to me, how can I talk to the media? It seems that they are very confident!"

This can only deceive the layman, except for Zhou Xingxing, only the unconfident filmmaker will hide the content of the movie until the last moment before the release.

For example, the movie version of "Love Apartment", 300 million on the first day, cool on the second day, and word-of-mouth collapsed! Presumably, the boss's plan is to cover it for a while, and it can deceive one!

After the ceremony, it was a dinner arranged by Bona, and Lu Lin brought Jing Yan over, ate and drank with them, and said some polite words to each other to respect you!

During this period, Chen Lan mentioned Zhou Xingxing, saying that this person must be very stingy, and he values money more than anything else, and Lu Lin is careful if he cooperates with him!

Lu Lin smiled and said thank you for mentioning it to Tai, I know it in my heart!

Xiang Hua saw that the people at the table had different expressions, and said in a deep voice: "What happened for a long time in the past, why did you mention it!"

Chen Lan was not angry in his heart, but he was not good at refuting her husband's face, drinking to hide her embarrassment, recalling the scenery of the glorious era of Hong Kong films, not to mention how depressed she was!

Helplessly, the time has changed, and the all-star lineup of "Macau Fengyun 3" was beaten by "The Mermaid", which the star did not participate in, and those Hong Kong stars who were once active on the big screen are really in decline.

Including the former big guy, Xiang Hua. The previous "Macau Fengyun 3" was basically a star lineup on Hong Kong Island, although the box office was not bad, but the reputation was too poor.

praised his own son, so he changed his gameplay, focusing on mainland stars, and made a "Legend of the Gods", but unfortunately it was not as good as "Macau 3"!

At the dinner table, the topic of everyone's conversation was basically to see this movie, which is very good, and it must have a good reputation at the box office, and Xiang Hua is still good.

immediately asked, "Mr. Lu, what do you think of this film?"

Lu Lin ha: "Although I can make a good movie, I am not good at divination and fortune-telling, and it is difficult to draw conclusions if I haven't seen the finished film!"

Immediately patted Yu Dong beside him and said, "But I trust Brother Yu's vision, if he says it's good, it must be good!"

Yu Dong knew that Lu Lin was talking the opposite, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, and paused for a few seconds before saying, "The film must be fine!" Xiang Hua and Chen Lan were overjoyed when they heard this.

After eating for a while, Lu Lin got up and went to the bathroom, and Yu Dong followed, saying, "Why do you feel that you have something to say today?"

Lu Lin said, "Let's go, go out and smoke a cigarette?"

"You wait for me to go to the toilet first!"

The two went to the bathroom and came out quickly, and stood at the end of the corridor, but no one took a cigarette, Yu Dong suddenly said: "You are not optimistic about "Legend of the Gods"?"

Lu Lin smiled: "Am I so obvious?"

Yu Dong nodded, "Look, I always feel like you're here to see a joke!"

Lu Lin was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: ", you can see this!"

Immediately heard Yu Dong sigh, "Actually, I'm not very optimistic!"

Lu Lin said: "But look at that Mr. Xiang and Ms. Chen, I'm looking forward to it!"

Yu Dong snorted and said: "I have been conscientious in the past few years, and I always feel that I can't feel the pulse of the audience, they haven't made movies for seven or eight years, hehe!"

This is the truth, the film industry is in great waves, and it is often a generation of new people replacing the old. Let's talk about Hong Kong Island, which was ruled by the Shaw Brothers in the early years, but was repeatedly suppressed by Jiahe later. and then the new art city was born, and "Yongsheng" and "China Xing" sprung up.

In terms of directors, Liu Zhenwei and Huang Baiming, who are often despised by the audience today, were all amazing and glamorous characters in their early years, writing a classic script in a few days.

When Wu Baige and Xu Ke were in full swing, how could they have thought that they would be ridiculed by the whole network today!

When Brother Cheng Long entered Hollywood, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get along in the mainland one day, right?

The fame and fortune of the film industry are moving, and too many people are reluctant to retire and lose their luck, I hope I won't have that day!

Lu Lin had a lot of thoughts, and he thought a lot for a while. Seeing that he was distracted, Yu Dong patted him on the shoulder and said, "This favor is returned, and there will be less business with Xiangjiang in the future." In the future, you will also help with dim sum, how can you say that you are also a shareholder!"

Because Bona was delisted and privatized on the NASDAQ, Longlin Pictures also bought a lot of shares, which is true. Lu Lin said with a smile: "Cheng, I will help you staff in the future, but you can't do a money-losing business!"

……

The next day, many entertainment media such as New Wolf, Penguin, Whoosh, Aiqiyi, Time.com, China Film News and other entertainment media reported the news of the premiere of "Legend of the Gods" with an investment of 500 million yuan.

In particular, director Xu Yu said that the special effects of the film are comparable to "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" and "Nuwa Mending the Sky", and the picture of Lu Lin smiling and not saying a word has been interpreted in various ways.

New Wolf Entertainment said that Lu Lin smiled on his face and felt bitter in his heart, and felt that he would have an opponent in the future; Penguin Entertainment said that Lu Lin didn't take "Legend of the Gods" in his eyes at all, and it was clearly a contemptuous smile.

Jing Yan, who was making trouble, couldn't help but send a WeChat message to ask what he was thinking when he was laughing. Lu Lin just wanted to say, I smiled so casually, how can I think as much as you guess!
