On the first day of start-up, overall, it was relatively successful. But by the next day, the problem came out. Fat Di seriously lacks experience in shooting on large sets, and often makes all kinds of unbelievable small mistakes, so that he almost collapses and cries when he is under pressure.

Lu Lin had no choice but to make the heroine he chose popular with tears. had to let her adjust temporarily, and persuaded her that as a first-year student who had only taken acting classes for half a year, her performance was already very good.

Fat Di was moved when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart, "Why is he so good, could it really be my long-lost brother!"

However, although it can make Fat Di adjust for a while, it can't be given too long. After all, she is the female number one, and there are too many scenes. After filming other people's scenes for two days, she appeared again. Fortunately, Fat Di can finally find some state, although he is often NG, but those unbelievable mistakes are gone.

After filming for about a week, Song Ge, the boss of Wanda Pictures, suddenly said that he wanted to visit the class. Lu Lin was overjoyed when he heard this, he knew that in another time and space, Song Ge had been in Wanda Pictures for two years. Later, he set up his own portal and founded Ferris Wheel Pictures.

Later, he was favored by the listed company "Yanjing Culture", acquired his company, and asked him to be the chairman. It was under his leadership that "Yenching Culture" transformed from a tourism company to an upstart in the film industry.

Lu Lin is very coveted for such talents. To put it mildly, the reason why he didn't cooperate with Wanda in the first place was to shoot "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". is not because he dislikes Jing Yan's acting skills, but because he is afraid that after Wanda Pictures will become popular because of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Song Ge will open the situation and stay and not leave. If that's the case, what will he do to grab the general with the richest man Wang.

As for the more subtle thought, if Song Ge can be disheartened and leave early because the "Ghost Blows the Lantern" project was shelved, then he has a chance to recruit this person. At that time, Longlin Studio wants people and money, and it will not be such an embarrassing situation as it is now.

Therefore, Lu Lin warmly invited him to visit the set and finish work in the evening. The two drove to a hotel in downtown Huairou City, asked for a private room, and ordered food. Song Ge suddenly sighed: "Looking at Director Lu's shooting, I realized that this special effects blockbuster is not easy to do!"

Lu Lin said: "It's really not easy, but someone has to do it!"

Song Ge doesn't know what he means, what is filmed is not filming, it is a very commercial act in itself, how can I hear that Lu Lin means that he must make a blockbuster?

Lu Lin said leisurely: "Film is a powerful tool for cultural communication, and the importance of the cultural industry to the country, I think I can't say that Mr. Song can understand it!"

Song Ge is also a master of the moment, but he didn't think about it in that direction before. After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said: "In July 09, the "Cultural Industry Revitalization Plan" was introduced, and it was said that the cultural industry was promoted to a national strategic level, and Director Lu meant to respond to the call of the country?"

Lu Lin nodded and said with a smile: "Sort of, although movies are entertainment products, their impact on people is subtle." From the past to the present, how many people have learned about the United States, the American Dream, and their universal values through Hollywood movies?"

Song Ge listened thoughtfully, and said slowly: "That's true, I'm afraid that there are still people who think that they are the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and even the moon feels that it is rounder than China!"

Lu Lin smiled indifferently and said, "So Chinese movies have a historical mission. We can't let Hollywood blockbusters conquer the Chinese market, dump their culture, and unscrupulously export their universal values. Otherwise, one day Chinese movies will decline, and everyone only loves American blockbusters. After one or two generations, people are still Chinese, and this heart is not easy to say!"

The setting of the image of Uncle Yu Qian in "Wolf Warrior 2" is not only funny, but a reflection of a real social phenomenon. When we Chinese people go out, we feel very close to our Chinese compatriots when we see them, and we feel that everyone is Chinese. Chinese Of course, there are many Chinese and overseas Chinese who love China, and they cannot generalize about anything.

Song Ge listened suddenly, he had never looked at Chinese movies from this perspective, and said slowly: "It's really such a reason!"

At this time, a service staff served wine and food, and the two stopped the topic. After a while, Song Ge said: "The reason why Director Lu insists on shooting blockbusters is to compete with Hollywood?"

Lu Lin smiled indifferently and said: "Yes, whether it is from the perspective of historical mission or commercial operation, it is an inevitable trend for Chinese films to base themselves on the mainland and go abroad!"

Song Ge was a little speechless and said: "That's the case, but over the years, many movies have repeatedly hit a wall in the North American market, and this road is not easy to walk!"

Lu Lin laughed: "In my opinion, that's when they put the cart before the horse and bring humiliation on themselves!"

Song Ge was surprised, "How do you say this?"

Lu Lin sneered: "I heard that "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" was released in North America in a hurry, and it only had a box office of $420,000. ”

Song Ge nodded: "I didn't pay attention to this, but since "Golden Armor" only collected six million US dollars in North America, the overseas box office of Chinese films has been declining, and the glory of "Hero" can no longer be repeated!"

Lu Lin sneered and didn't speak, because he knew that the box office performance of Chinese films in the North American market in the future could no longer be described as a fiasco.

"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" has a box office of 310,000 in North America. "Nanjing Nanjing" 120,000, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" 170,000, "Tongtian Empire" 450,000, "Painted Skin 2" 540,000, "The Legend of the White Snake" 18,000, "Thai Embarrassment" 57,000, "Warring States" 68,000, "1942" 310,000, "New Shaolin Temple" 66,000, "Vote for Fame" 120,000, "Three Guns" 190,000 ......!

In other words, with such a little box office, it will be publicized with a little effort when it is released in China, can you not be embarrassed abroad?

"If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" was released in a hurry, and the North American box office was miserable. In another time and space, the distribution rights of "Let the Bullets Fly" in North America were not sold for a long time, and it was not until March 12 that it began to be screened in 4 cities including New York and Los Angeles, but the final box office was only $60,000.

There are many reasons why Chinese films failed at the overseas box office, either because of cultural differences or because of the quality of the film itself. But in Lu Lin's view, the root cause is that many Chinese film companies have chosen the wrong direction of their efforts.

"In fact, the global market is so big, Chinese movies shouldn't be staring at North America!" Lu Lin sighed.

Song Ge was curious, "Oh, how do you say that?"

Lu Lin said with a smile: "In today's world, there are three major civilization systems, the European and American Christian civilization system, the Middle East Arab civilization system and the East Asian Confucian civilization system with China as the core. Nowadays, European and American culture is popular all over the world, and Hollywood movies rely on it, and 3D blockbusters often sweep billions of dollars, just like Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms, which has occupied the sky, and this sincerity cannot compete with it!"

Song Ge's eyes lit up when he heard it, no one has ever analyzed the global film market and the future of Chinese films like this.

"The Arab civilization has the Middle East, but it is closed and self-defending, which lasts for thousands of years, just like the power of Sun in Jiangdong, and it cannot be done!"
