Chapter 240: Director Lu wants to shoot science fiction
Lu Lin doesn't like to deal with the media, but when a new film is released, he can still actively cooperate with the promotion. Now that Wu Jing is leading the main members of the crew to run roadshows all over the country, cheering hard for "Wolf Warrior", Lu Lin naturally has to make a little effort.
In a small lounge on the set of "Nuwa Mending the Sky", in Huairou's China Film Digital Base, Lu Lin accepted a joint interview with several media such as "China Entertainment Report", "China Film Report", and Penguin Entertainment.
The hostess of the entertainment report took the lead in asking: "Hello Director Lu, about "Wolf Warrior", some people outside say that you control it, and some people say that it is led by Wu Jing, and you are just a nominal producer, so in your opinion, who should this film belong to?"
It is said that those who watch the excitement are not afraid of big things, and the hostess with glasses threw out an extremely sharp question as soon as she came up. Whose work should "Wolf Warrior" be counted, should it belong to producer Lu Lin or director Wu Jing.
Because in most cases, audiences and film critics judge the ownership of the film according to the style of the work.
For example, Lu Lin's "Breakup Master", "Thai Embarrassment" and "Heart Flower Road", which are also produced by Lu Lin, because the style of the three films is very different from Lu Lin's previous works, no one will really regard these films as Lu Lin's works.
After the release of "Wolf Warrior", Lu Lin and Wu Jing's fans quarreled about whose work the film should be, and they almost "killed each other".
"Pro-Lu faction" believes that "Wolf Warrior" has excellent 3D effects, excellent picture quality, and shocking special effects, which is obviously the consistent style of Lu Lin's films, and naturally it should be regarded as Lu Lin's work.
The "pro-Wu faction" believes that Wu Jing had filmed "I Am Special Forces 2" before, and he had been training in the Jinling Military Region for 18 months, which was prepared for the film "Wolf Warrior". And "Wolf Warrior" can achieve this result, which is Wu Jing's hard work!
Lu Lin heard about this situation, and when he saw the media asking, he said with a smile: "Of course it's my senior brother Wu Jing, in fact, this movie is mainly controlled by senior brother Wu Jing, I just helped change the script and shoot a few small shots!"
The reporter of the entertainment report asked again: "Is there a rumor that the whole film fully reflects Director Lu's will, and it is the shooting style you decided, and Director Wu is just an executor?"
Lu Lin smiled and said, "You also said that it was a rumor, besides, I was filming "League of Legends" at the time, and I didn't have much energy to focus on "Wolf Warrior" at all. So this question, there is nothing to argue, next!"
A reporter from Penguin Entertainment asked: "Hello Director Lu, now "Wolf Warrior" has broken 500 million in 3 days, which is even stronger than the initial momentum of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", but the announced cost is only one-third of the latter, what do you think of this problem, do you think the domestic box office of "Wolf Warrior" can surpass "Hou Yi Shooting Sun"?"
Lu Lin laughed and said, "What I want to say is that it is very possible. But how high it can be depends on the support of the audience and media friends. ”
Seeing Lu Lin give such a face, all the reporters present laughed, and heard Lu Lin say again: "As for the production cost, it's not so analogous!"
The next is a reporter from "China Film Report": "Hello Director Lu, on New Year's Day in 2011, you achieved a shocking box office of 2.3 billion with a "Return of the Great Sage". Now that a few years have passed, domestic films are still stuck in the era of 2 billion, and the world's best-selling "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" only won 2.6 billion at the mainland box office. In your opinion, when will domestic films be able to go further and enter the era of 3 billion?
Which work do you think is more likely, "Wolf Warrior", "League of Legends", or "Nuwa Mends the Sky" that you are filming?"
As soon as this question came out, all the reporters stared at Lu Lin. After all, excluding the factor of the interview, they are also quite curious. As for asking other filmmakers in the industry, there is always a suspicion of bragging. As the most successful director of Chinese-speaking commercial films, Lu Lin's answer is more reliable.
Lu Lin smiled before saying: "With the rapid development of the domestic economy, the film market is also expanding rapidly, and the number of screens and the number of new theaters are increasing rapidly. Therefore, the domestic monolithic exceeded 3 billion, and I believe that it will come someday in the near future. All you need is a high-quality film, a suitable schedule and feelings that can arouse the public's enthusiasm for watching movies, it will not be too far away!"
"Could that be your work?" the journalist added.
Lu Lin said with a smile: "I will work hard to achieve this historic task!"
The reporters laughed again, and then the question was less acute. After all, as one of the "five major directors" in China, Lu Lin belongs to the less controversial and more popular with the media.
After chatting casually for a while, the reporter of Penguin Entertainment suddenly asked: "Director Lu, your current works have always been adaptations of fairy tales or games, have you ever thought of creating a science fiction movie that belongs to the Chinese, like "Star Wars" and "Avatar"?"
In fact, Lu Lin has filmed "The Alliance of Gods" adapted from "Ten Cold", and the special effects are also super-burning. But because it is mainly a funny plot, although the box office is also 1.6 billion, it is always ignored. Some fans said that "The Alliance of the Gods" is the black spot of Director Lu Da's life.
Lu Lin said with a smile: "Of course I think, in fact, after this "Nuwa Mends the Sky", I will make a science fiction movie!"
The reporters were taken aback when they heard this, especially the one who asked the question just now, who is himself a science fiction fan. Hearing that Lu Lin really had this plan, he couldn't help himself with excitement. took two steps forward and said: "Director Lu, you ...... Which one do you want to make, "The Three-Body Problem"? or "The Wandering Earth" or "Be with Me"?"
There are indeed fewer science fiction movies and science fiction works in China, and they are relatively niche. If that book is the most well-known, it may be "The Three-Body Problem".
On the one hand, the "short, big and tight" teacher specially divided into several issues in "Xiaoshuo" to talk about "The Three-Body Problem", and on the other hand, because the president said it was good after reading it.
It is said that President Austria on the other side of the ocean urged the author to draft the manuscript after watching the first part of "The Three-Body Problem", but the author ignored it as spam until the diplomatic department came to his door one day.
Imagine that wonderful dialogue: Hello, Mr. President Ao has read your "Three-Body Problem I." and thinks it is very good, can you send me a few more copies?
Author: Liars get rough!
However, because the president said it was good, the sales ranking of "The Three-Body Problem" on Amazon soared from more than 20,000 to more than 1,400, ranking 16th on the real-time sci-fi sales list, which shows that there is a celebrity effect everywhere.
And if Lu Lin wants to make a science fiction movie, the first thing to choose is naturally the most famous. smiled indifferently at several reporters and said, "The Three-Body Problem!"
