After nearly four years since his debut, Lu Chen has matured a lot compared to his original self.
Now he has completely integrated the three life memories from the dream world, and after going through the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, he is no less than those real superstars in terms of magnanimity and vision experience.
If Lu Chen had the popularity of a superstar a year and a half ago, then he has the temperament of a superstar now, standing on the pinnacle of his life.
It is precisely because of this that the current Lu Chen will not care about the gains and losses in front of him. As long as he does not involve the kind of scandal that can ruin his reputation, the ordinary public opinion trend will not be able to shake him at all.
Then why should he take the initiative to get involved in these right and wrong, what can be proved in the end will always be the work!
In this "Swordsman", Lu Chen not only invested a lot of money, but also put in countless painstaking efforts and efforts. The previous filming was finally completed on schedule, and the subsequent production was even more important. How could there be time? And energy to fight with others
Of course Lu Xi was not reconciled. With her temper, if someone stepped on her, she should be beaten back severely. She didn't want to be underestimated without saying a word.
But on the other hand, my sister's support for Lu Chen is unconditional. Since Lu Chen decided to ignore it, she gave up the few publicity and counterattack plans she had thought up, and concentrated on managing and rectifying the internal affairs of Chenfei Media. On the one hand, the public opinion of the outside world is not allowed to affect the emotions of the company's employees.
However, Chenfei Media's uncooperative attitude of "you talk about yours and I work on mine" made those media who deliberately provoke right and wrong have nowhere to start like a mouse pulling a turtle. After a while, they naturally died down.
In today's society, the speed of information transmission is too fast, and fresh news emerges endlessly every day, and it is not an earth-shattering event. Once the heat is over, it will naturally be silent.
The sad news is that Marriott Pictures, Dadi Pictures and Crown Pictures are all big players in the industry, and the latter two are even established film companies. This time they turned the boat in the gutter.
Although it is said that with the wealth of the three families, a film's box office failure is not so bad that it cannot be turned over, but it has almost become a joke in the industry, and it has been thrown back to the adults.
Time passed quietly, and the capital city entered a month of fire. "Young Jianghu Journey", "New Seven Heroes and Five Justice" and "The Prodigal Son" were successively released in domestic theaters, and the journey ended in embarrassment.
Under the pressure of Disney's summer animation blockbuster "Dream Aviator", none of the three martial arts films can earn back their investment at the box office, and all of them have suffered serious losses.
The impact of this is that many films of the same type in preparation were aborted, investors no longer favor martial arts films, and the previous vigorous ones have now disappeared.
At the same time, many Hollywood blockbusters were released in China, vying for the box office like wolves, and attracted the attention of the audience. No one will care about a few failed films anymore.
On the Inspur blog, a well-known film critic summed up this, and believed that the fate of films such as "Juvenile River and Lake" was a failed attempt by domestic films to find a new way. If they want to break through the stereotypes of the original domestic films, they have to find another way. .
His views are supported by many in the industry.
"Swordsman", which is expected to be released on the National Day file, is not mentioned by many people. The general opinion is pessimistic. They think that with the precedents of "Youth Jianghu" and other films, "Swordsman" is difficult to create. Get brilliant results.
Some even predicted that "Swordsman" would be Lu Chen's Waterloo, ending his invincibility!
The summer vacation passed like this.
Looking back on the entire July and August, apart from two small-budget films that won a good reputation, there is nothing worth mentioning about domestic films, and most of the box office was harvested by Hollywood blockbusters.
On September 10th, there are 20 days before the release of "Swordsman".
"very good!"
Chen Guozhi, who was sitting in the middle of the front row, stood up and said in a firm tone when the subtitles of the end of the play were displayed on the projection screen in the headquarters of Chenfei Media, which was temporarily converted from a small meeting room: Excellent, better than I expected!"
There was applause and joyful laughter in the screening room.
Chen Guozhi stretched out his hand to Lu Chen who stood up with him, and said with a sigh: "Lu Chen, I am very happy and honored to be able to cooperate with you in this movie!"
The movie that just finished showing in the screening room is the digitally edited version of "Swordsman" that has already completed all production. Although Chen Guozhi is the director of "Swordsman", his work mainly focuses on the early stages. Lu Chen was basically in charge of shooting, post-production special effects, editing, dubbing, soundtrack, etc.
To be honest, when he took over "Swordsman", Chen Guozhi actually didn't pay much attention to it. He was mainly moved by Lu Chen's sincerity, and also because he owed the latter a favor.
But after a film was shot, and now seeing the final result, the great director was shocked deeply. He even regretted that he didn't put in 100% effort when directing the filming.
Some details in the film are not perfect, the relationship between the characters is not clearly explained, and the plot turns are a bit blunt... From a professional point of view, many problems can be found.
However, none of these problems can conceal the brilliance of "Swordsman", especially the excellent effects of several key scenes, which made him, a famous director at home and abroad, feel refreshed!
Chen Guozhi's professional sensitivity told him that this will be a hit!
Chen Guozhi couldn't help showing a smile when he thought of some people's bad news in the media not long ago.
"Director Chen is serious..."
Lu Chen quickly said, "It's my honor and luck to be able to cooperate with you!"
Lu Chen was telling the truth, without Chen Guozhi, a senior director, the early filming of "Swordsman" would never have been so smooth, and he learned a lot from Chen Guozhi, even if it was his mentor. points, worthy of his respect.
Chen Guozhi shook his head with a smile, and said, "I'm ashamed to say it, I didn't put in so much effort, but I still have the name of director..."
After a pause, he asked: "It will be released in 20 days, why haven't I seen any movement in your promotion?"
As a blockbuster movie with an investment of hundreds of millions, the promotional work of "Swordsman" is obviously seriously behind. Normally, it should have started a month or two earlier.
Of course, Chen Guozhi was very clear about the situation a month or two ago, and it was really not suitable for publicity, but until now there has been no movement, so that's a bit too much!
