Chapter 147: My Life Is Glory
Dongcheng Imaging has undoubtedly become a symbol of Hong Kong. And Lu Yan deserves to be the most powerful director this year.
, such a popular director, is even more popular in Dongcheng Films.
"Yan Zai, it looks like you really have a chance to win the best director! By then, our Dongcheng Imaging will finally have a signboard! In the conference room, Cheng Xiaodong and several people said one after another.
It was Lu Yan who had slowly cooled down and smiled: "Who knows! If you don't make the cut, it's a shame. However, "The True Color of Heroes" will win some awards at that time, which is absolutely understandable. With Fa Ge's current fame and acting skills in the movie, it would be hellish if they were not shortlisted. ”
"It's understandable that you win the award!" Since Du Kefeng joined Dongcheng Images, this period of time has indeed been like a spring breeze and said: "With "The True Color of Heroes" alone, I think it is enough to qualify." Now the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is so good, it's unimaginable! ”
"That's it! Yan Zai, sometimes your vision and stubbornness make me unimaginable. "The True Color of Heroes" became popular at the box office poison and out-of-fashion red stars, and now a newcomer and his brother are being picked up! Gee...... Joey, in particular, has already had several directors call hoping to invite her to play the lead role! "A Chinese Ghost Story" undoubtedly made Wang Zuxian, who has been unknown, in the limelight at the moment, and Liu Weiqiang had to admire Lu Yan's stubbornness in signing the other party. even did not hesitate to spend double the price to bring the other party's contract from Shaw Brothers to Dongcheng Image.
"Don't hold me up! The reason why these two movies can be so successful is that everyone has paid a lot. What's the use of me alone without you! Lu Yan shook his head, and then thought about it: "Now the company needs to expand, how about it!" You have the connections in your hands, you can move it! In the past, our Dongcheng Image was not famous and powerful, but now although it is not as good as those old companies, there should be people willing to join, right? ”
Ambition is to expand with the success of the business step by step. For Lu Yan, the framework of this Dongcheng image is still too small. Although the five-member team is already very solid, it is far from enough to make a big movie.
What is the distribution department, the artist department...... These are all things that are very lacking in the image of the East Side.
These departments can be slow, but they must speed up the pace of talent recruitment. And in the social circle of Cheng Xiaodong and others, there are undoubtedly a large number of excellent candidates. As for whether they come or not, it depends on whether Dongcheng Image has this attraction!
"Yan Shao, the few classmates who participated in the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" with me are very eager to stay in Dongcheng Filming! We're all about to graduate, I don't know ......" Ye Jintian is naturally very grateful to Lu Yan. However, he obviously thinks that he is not qualified to affectionately call Lu Yan a boy, and usually follows Leslie Cheung and calls them the director when filming. When it came to the company, it kept shouting little.
Although Tim Yip's classmates are not famous, they are young. And the ideas are very good, since the other party is willing to stay, Lu Yan is of course welcome: "No problem!" Our company is now short of a lot of behind-the-scenes talents, and your classmates are very good. ”
The impression that Dongcheng Image gives to the public is that it is younger. It represents vigor and innovation!
"Yan Zai, you go and 'fool' Wang Fatzi! Although the box office of "Ghost Horse and Flying Man" is average, it is already very good compared to some other movies. He does have a unique set of movies for this kind of thing, how about it? Cheng Xiaodong suddenly remembered Wang Jinglai, and immediately recommended it to Lu Yan.
He forgot that when he was in Shaw Brothers Studios, Lu Yan had already 'tempted' this future king of commercial films!
Speaking of which, Wang Jing was indeed moved at the beginning. After thinking about it, Lu Yan's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Xiaodong, you are so familiar with Brother Jing. Now there are a lot of dividends, so you should invite someone to have afternoon tea and have a meal or something! Otherwise, don't blame people for saying you're not a friend enough! ”
"Ahem......" Cheng Xiaodong suddenly stared at Lu Yan with great resentment, and finally could only spit out a sentence, "Prepare to use me as a gunman again!" Okay or not, in the end, it's up to you to 'fool'. I just talk to him once in a while, blowing the wind in my ears! ”
"No problem! Speaking of which, I can't wait to host the celebration now. ”
Lu Yan's unexplained digression made everyone present stunned. Immediately, Liu Weiqiang was the first to react, and scolded with a smile: "Isn't it just striptease, what are you anxious about!" ”
"Poof......
"Well, forget it!"
Everyone suddenly remembered the bet that Lu Yan made with himself after the premiere ceremony. And now, the winner of the bet is naturally Lu Yan. And they, as the losing side, promised to dance a striptease at the celebration banquet!
"Yes!" Lu Yan touched his chin and suddenly said, "Don't worry!" No hurry! You've all taken time to practice dancing lately, so you'll have to save yourself from dancing ugly. I've already told my brother about it, and they all said they were looking forward to it! ”
"you!"
"You rotten boy, hold on to it!"
"It's already been passed out, it's going to be a shame now!"
Everyone looked at Lu Yan speechlessly, but they didn't expect him to come to such a trick to cut first and then play.
Although Dongcheng Imaging is a small reading power production company, the atmosphere is definitely good. Everyone can be very relaxed, and because of this, many difficult scenes are filmed and will not be stuck for too long.
"Yan Zai, are you still not going back for the New Year this year?" If you talk about the understanding and contact of private life, Liu Weiqiang is undoubtedly the most communicative with Lu Yan among the people. The two have always been very close friends.
"I have to go back for the New Year this year! The old man has already given an ultimatum, and if he doesn't go back, he will be spanked. Lu Yan laughed, in fact, even if he didn't have the old man's phone, he would go back for the New Year. After all, his original promise was that after making a name for himself in Hong Kong, he would go home for the New Year. What's more, this time, the old man helped himself a lot.
""The True Color of Heroes" is selling very well in Taiwan, and you will definitely have a lot of local reporters to interview you when you go back! In general, you can be regarded as returning home! Cheng Xiaodong smiled and said, in fact, he was gossiping about Lu Yan's net worth background. He believed that once Lu Yan went back. Those media in Taiwan will definitely be able to dig up something.
When the time comes, it will naturally spread to Hong Kong!
"The True Color of Heroes" not only occupies the first box office in Hong Kong but also the local box office record. It broke Taiwan's box office record, and Southeast Asian countries are crazy about "The True Color of Heroes". At the beginning of the film's broadcast, the box office funds were all large pools.
It is absolutely understandable to say that Lu Yan is now a well-known director in Southeast Asia! And "A Chinese Ghost Story" has also been put on the schedule in Asian countries such as Yuben and South Korea. Is anyone still worried about the box office?
"This year, everyone is working hard, let's have a good rest during the Spring Festival! Don't forget to look at your phone book, though. If there are good talents, find a way to dig up our Dongcheng image. Ha ha! If a person attains the Tao, he will naturally ascend to heaven. You say, right? Lu Yan smiled ambiguously at everyone, and even he felt like he was engaged in "pyramid schemes" when he said this. But will he still care? Now many gossip reports have openly called him a "big fool director"!
"Next year's investment should be increased, Yan Zai, you are determined to make the company bigger! Now you are the only real director of our Dongcheng Films, I think we should recruit some screenwriters and directors. The distribution department can take its time with everything, but the editorial department must be set up right away! ”
"That is, since we want to be a film company like Golden Harvest and New Art City, we must slowly improve it. Otherwise, you can't hold up at all! ”
"TVB's training class will have some talented juniors in every session, and I'll see if I can let them come over when the time comes."
For the establishment of these departments of the company, as well as the development plan. Cheng Xiaodong and them are obviously more familiar than Lu Yan. Especially Cheng Xiaodong's last sentence, which suddenly made Lu Yan say in a cloud: "Yes! TVB training class, Brother Xiaodong, you must not let it go. Artist training class, if there are newcomers who are willing to sign a film appointment to our company, it is also okay. The creative staff behind the scenes also find a way to 'hook up'! ”
"With a boss like you, I've become a 'fool'." Cheng Xiaodong smiled bitterly, but why didn't he want Dongcheng Imaging to rise rapidly!
"Don't say that! When the time comes, the Academy Awards and the Golden Horse Awards, I wonder if you can still hold a few little golden figures back! ”
"Why don't we set aside a room for these awards?"
This sentence from Christopher Doyle made everyone laugh again. This is simply like the Academy Awards and the Golden Horse Awards are vegetable markets! Is the little golden man so easy to take? A room was also set aside for ...... What a gringo, with a special jump in thinking!
Unexpectedly, there is someone who jumps more than Du Kefeng, and that is Lu Yan!
I saw that after listening to Du Kefeng's words, he actually nodded again and again: "Kefeng, it's the first time I think your ideas are so in line with my standards." When the time comes, a room will be set up to place the gold people of various awards. Actors, of course they have to take it back. But if it belongs to us, it doesn't matter if it's in the company! Get a 'Glory of the East City' room, it's also a big landscape! What Academy Awards, Golden Horse Awards, Berlin Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival...... It's all put together, how eye-catching! ”
Lu Yan said very casually, but Cheng Xiaodong became more and more dumbfounded the more they listened. Forget the Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards, even the Cannes Film Festival has come out.
It seems that in the final analysis, Lu Yan is still as reported by the outside media - arrogant!
If his words get out, it will really cause an uproar! A rookie director in his early twenties actually has such a 'grandiose' goal!
