Chapter 465: "Lich War" starts
To be honest, Lu Lin didn't pay much attention to the project of "Daughter Country", which basically belonged to the idea of playing tickets.
Longlin Pictures is not bad for money, and it is impossible to lose. Ying Bao and Da Xiangyan want to shoot and play with them.
Anyway, I don't plan to direct it myself, so it doesn't matter if the reputation is lower. If each of his works has a super high reputation and a box office hit, then it is called a problem.
All kinds of famous directors in China and even the world are counted, and it is impossible to ensure quality all the time under the condition of continuous high production. Once in a while, it's not too magical.
If others feel that "Liu Bei is thick and fake, Zhuge is wise and close to a demon", it is not a good thing!
However, after the project of "Daughter Country" was discussed, Lu Lin invested his energy in the preparation of the "Lich War", and during this period, he also established the "Longlin V Love Leukemia Special Relief Fund", which invested all the profits of Longlin Pictures in "I Am Not the God of Medicine", and the big stroke made the industry look sideways.
Among them, Wang Zhonglei and Yu Dong each promised 10 million yuan, on the day the fund was completed, in the name of the two companies, donated to the account, won praise from all walks of life.
And Xu Zheng, who has a 20% investment share in "I Am Not the God of Medicine", also donated 8 million, but was scolded by netizens and felt that he should also donate all the proceeds.
The "God of Medicine" in the play is so good, in real life, can't you give a little more love?
Xu Zheng was very embarrassed, it was not good if the money was not spent, it was not pleasing if it was spent, and he didn't dare to complain about Lu Linchong's generosity, not to mention how depressed he was.
said that in the blink of an eye, it was September, and the long-prepared "Flood Wilderness: Lich War" was finally about to start.
The location is still Huairou's China Film Digital Base, mainly because the special effects shots of this kind of film often account for more than 90% of the total number of shots, and it is obviously more convenient and cost-effective to go to the film and television city and go out on location in the studio.
In terms of actors, they are basically the original cast in "Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" and "Nuwa Mends the Sky", such as the Emperor of Heaven played by Zhou Zhaolong, who plays a very heavy role in this part, leading the demons and gods of the Heavenly Court to resist the ten ancestral witches, and finally disappearing.
Although the perspective of the film is on the side of the Wu clan, the Emperor played by Zhou Zhaolong is not a villain, but a tragic character.
After all, he is the nominal co-master of the Three Realms, and the "warlords" under his command do not give any face, and seeking unification is what the "male lord" should do.
said that on Saturday, September 3, the long-awaited "Flood: Lich War" by fans finally started.
In an open space in the China Film Digital Base, banners are hung on the wall, and offering tables are set up in the middle, but there is no temporary stage and poster billboards. The main reason is that Lu Lin and this project are so famous that they don't need to make those falsehoods, but everything is simple.
Just like Ma Yun, Liu Qidong, Wang Jianlin and other bigwigs, wearing ordinary clothes, netizens will also feel extraordinary! If you are wearing a luxury that blinds people's eyes, you will lose your identity.
The open space in front of the incense case was held with a red cordon, and six security guards stood guard at the red line, afraid that they would rush up too excitedly.
Fortunately, the reporters couldn't wait to put the camera on Lu Lin's face, but they still squeezed behind the cordon in a regular manner, and listened to Lu Lin: "Today, September 3, will be an extremely memorable day in the history of Chinese and even world films.
In other words, I have filmed many works here, which has brought me a lot of honor and money. At this moment, I believe that this kind of good luck will continue in the filming of this film, because you good brothers and sisters will work with me ......!"
Lu Lin said inspiring and beautiful words, and some of the crew members present may not think so, at least on the face, they are all very excited.
After speaking, Lu Lin led everyone to worship the gods and incense, and then accepted an interview with reporters.
"Director Lu, may I ask if there will be a scene of Chang'e in this movie?" the reporter of Aiqiyi Entertainment was the first to speak.
Lu Lin smiled, and then said to the young male reporter: "Are you looking forward to Chang'e?"
The man seemed to be told the central matter, and his face showed a look of consternation, and he immediately said: "A beautiful woman like Chang'e, I believe that the men present have nothing they don't like or look forward to!"
All the reporters laughed when they heard this, and Lu Lin also laughed before saying: "Chang'e is definitely going to appear, and her role in the play is also very important?"
"Could it be that the Emperor of Heaven is also fascinated by Chang'e and wants to bring it back to Heaven?" asked a reporter from New Wolf Entertainment.
Lu Lin said: "This is going to be kept secret for the time being!"
"What is the investment this time?"
"$150 million!"
"Oh, big deal!"
"That's amazing!"
"When will it be released, Director Lu, will it be summer next year?"
"This can't be decided for the time being, it depends on the specific shooting situation!"
……
In the past few years, a lot of movies have been made, and the start-up press conference is very familiar, and even if he answers with his eyes closed, he can deal with these people now.
When Lu Lin was about to remove the red cloth on the camera, he suddenly heard someone outside the crowd laughing, "I'm sorry, Director Lu, I thought I would come earlier, but there was a traffic jam on the road!"
When the reporters heard this, they felt that something was wrong, turned around and followed the reputation, and saw that it was Wang Yanfeng, the owner of Xinghao Pictures, who came to the scene with a female assistant and two bodyguards.
After hesitating for a moment, these people reacted, and felt that there was going to be big news, so they hurriedly aimed the camera at Wang Yanfeng.
Lu Lin was a little puzzled, his eyes stared at Wang Yanfeng, and he suddenly smiled: "Thank you very much!"
Then he said: "Boss Wang came over at this time, "Could there be anything else?"
Wang Yanfeng smiled, "I just think that our Xinghao strength is limited, and with such a good theme as Journey to the West, the box office of the adapted movie is less than 2 billion, which is really ashamed." If Director Lu can remake our film and leave some classics for future generations, it would be a rare good thing!"
Seeing that he had something to say, Lu Lin ignored the reporters who were crazy about taking pictures, and said with a smile: "Oh, which one does Mr. Wang want me to shoot?"
"The most classic passage of "Journey to the West" is to make trouble in the sky, if Director Lu can reinterpret this story, I believe there will be a lot of audience support!"
Wang Yanfeng's idea is that the two are already in a state of competition anyway, and the quality of the filming of "Daughter Country" is another matter. But if Lu Lin can re-shoot "Havoc in Heaven", the reputation is not as good as the Xinghao version, and the fun will be great.
Lu Lin's mind was spinning fast, and he had thought about these questions for a long time, but he always felt that the time was not ripe. Seeing this situation, he not only laughed dryly and said: "It's a good idea! When I reshoot "Havoc in Heaven" and compare the two, I will know who is good and who is bad!"
