Full-level Director

Chapter 198: The War Begins (4 in 1)

"What's the matter, Tired?"

Li Lan looked at Lin Juan with a smile. In fact, she was a little surprised. After all, if she hadn't been looking for her, Lin Juan would seldom come to her office.

"I want to discuss my next movie with you, Aunt Lan." Lin Juan said with a smile after sitting down.

"The next movie? You mean the one who was looking for Cai Ming?" Li Lan asked after thinking about it.

"En." Lin Juan nodded, and Li Lan shook his head amusedly, with a look of helplessness on his face. Maybe these artists are like this? Obviously, I don't want to shoot good commercial films, but I want to shoot something that reflects my life values.

To be honest, Mr. Jin Jie and Aunt Cai, such a movie, no matter how much you think, the box office will not be so high. I can't think of a point that makes people look forward to it. Is it possible to watch them fall in love?

Emmm...

"The script is ready?" Li Lan asked softly. No matter what, she will support it. Even if she doesn't support it, there will be people queuing up to invest in Lin Juan. They don't care what he shoots at all. Well, Lin Juan just said that he was going to photograph two cows to fall in love, and those investors would wave their money and bring in two more cows by the way.

The king of commercials.

If you want to play a low-budget movie, let him play it, and if Lin Juan will make it, people will naturally have some expectations in their hearts.

After all, he is a man who has created over 100 million in revenue by pulling his grandparents in a room with their mobile phones.

"Well, it's finished. Teacher Jin Jie and Teacher Cai Ming are tentatively scheduled to be the lead roles. Aunt Lan, please contact them for me. Let Qingyu comeo for the role of the daughter, and the role of the son..."

"Well, okay, let me get in touch, when are you going to shoot? I can confirm the schedule with them."

"Let's start preparations after the release of "Alliance" and the publicity work is done." Lin Juan said directly, he had already thought clearly.

"What about the investment budget for this movie?"

"Thirty million should be enough." Lin Juan replied.

"Thirty million?" Li Lan was taken aback.

Is it such a small investment?

"kindness,

This should be regarded as a road movie, so the investment is not large. Aunt Lan and you all need to invest 15 million yuan. "

After the script is completely determined, the investment can almost be estimated, instead of just talking about it like before.

Fifteen million……

Li Lan looked at Lin Juan speechlessly, and didn't know what to say. With such a big director, he came to discuss a movie with an investment of 15 million in such a serious way. It seems that he is no less serious than the alliance. , Lin Juan is the one who really plays movies seriously.

He really loves movies. He does not pursue investment or box office. He just likes to make those stories. No matter whether it is a big investment or a small investment, the script has the same status in his heart. He wants to tell such a story. story.

"Okay, you give the script to Du You and the others tomorrow, and ask the people in their production department to make a production plan and calculate the specific budget. If there is anything we need to prepare, let's hurry up." Li Lan said with a gentle smile, with a hint of Act vigorously.

"En." Lin Juan nodded with a smile. Working with Li Lan for so long has always made him feel very comfortable. This is a win-win situation.

...

Globally, under the actions of Chenguang and Universal, the promotion of "Alliance" spread rapidly, mainly in some countries. The work involved is not as complicated as imagined, after all, a system has been established long ago.

The voice of "Alliance" has officially resounded all over the world. During this period of time, there are also a lot of film dealers who come to Chenguang to buy the copyright, which can be regarded as another big profit for Lin Juan.

In mid-July, all the special effects shots were handed in, and Lin Juan edited them one by one after the review. On July 20, all the dubbing work was also completed. At this point, the production of the entire film was declared complete.

In the afternoon, Chenguang held an internal film screening. For the sake of confidentiality, all the directors came to participate. Li Qingyu was out of town and couldn't come back, so he had to wait until the premiere.

Everyone watched the two-and-a-half-hour movie very seriously, and was shocked several times. It is not easy to shock this group of people.

After watching, there was a round of applause in the viewing room, and a lot of praise came straight to Lin Juan.

The next day, Chen Guang urgently sent "Alliance" for review. I heard that when reviewing this movie, there were a lot of reviewers...

After the review, this kind of work shot by Huaxia has a wide range of influence in the world, and it is also a positive influence. The review is very fast, and no accidents happened.

Then Chenguang quickly copied the master tape and sent it to major theaters. On August 1st, the proportion of the film schedule of "Alliance" in China had reached 56%. People vomit blood, which is too biased.

Why?

But there is no way, this is the theater's own decision, how can you stop them from making money?

On July 24th, the theaters opened the pre-sale, and eight hours later, the pre-sale box office of the movie exceeded 100 million, breaking the pre-sale record.

Seeing that the monster "Alliance" is about to break out of its cage and appear in front of everyone, the prelude has already begun to swallow mountains and rivers before it comes out, and it also stunned a lot of people in the film industry.

This momentum is too domineering, what will it be like when it is released?

The whole dust started to run at a high speed, and Universal also started to arrange for Scarlett and the others to appear on some programs there, and started the journey of global publicity and interviews.

But the style of their interviews is like this...

Reporter: "Tom, can you disclose that you appeared as a villain in "Alliance" this time, did you die in the end?"

Tom looked at Mark beside him: "Emm~ Sorry, the director won't let us spoil it."

"Huh? Isn't it okay at all? Then what will happen if you spoil it?"

"Then they may not take me to play in the next one."

"So you're not dead?"

Tom: "..."

"Hey, honey, come and help me..." Tom asked Scarlett and the others for help.

...

"Donnie, may I ask you to participate in the alliance as "Iron Man" this time, have you avenged your father?"

"You asked a good question. Of course I took revenge. I took Yu Yan to eat a meal that made him almost vomit. Oh, Yu Yan is the captain."

"This doesn't count, I mean in the movie."

"In the movie, I met him."

"I know you met, did you take revenge? I mean beat him down." The fat reporter seemed to hate the captain.

"Well... we met." Downey shrugged.

...

"Scarlett, how do you feel about participating in the movie "Alliance"?"

"Of course, I am very honored. This is also a very good movie. I was very excited when I participated in the filming."

"Then can you reveal what character you are playing? What superpowers do you have? Fans are very curious about this."

"What superpower?" Scarlett blinked, looking innocent.

"It's similar to Iron Man or Storm Girl..."

"No, I don't know what superpowers I have."

"Okay, let me change the question, will you have your own independent film? Like "Iron Man"."

"What independent film? I don't know."

...

"Chris." The reporter was speechless. He couldn't believe that there was no breakthrough in the league.

Chris looked at the reporter with a perfect smile, and heard the reporter ask: "There should be wonderful fights in this movie, right?"

"Of course, of course there will be great fights in the movie."

"Chris." Scarlett glanced at him, and Chris's eyes flickered, remembering the fear of being dominated by a certain man, and immediately changed his words: "You know, China has recently cracked down, and scenes of fighting and violence are not allowed in movies, so all of us Just sit and drink tea together, chat like this, tell him that you are wrong..."

Chris spread his hands and shrugged, and the reporters all looked at him with weird eyes.

I believe you ghost, you can say all this?

"Then... Reina..."

"Oh, all I can tell you is that the movie will start and then end." Hawkeye's actor replied with a smile.

lore.

This interview spread all over the world, and it spread wildly among movie fans. The fans all burst into laughter. They have never seen this kind of interview before. It is absolutely unique. Aren’t the interviews of other movies all about blowing up movies? Why does their propaganda feel like black movies...

Listen to what is being said...

Huaxia's movie fans laughed like crazy, God damn it.

In China, Liu Xing and the others also began to appear on various programs, and their popularity was invincible everywhere they went. It seemed that they had gathered a momentum, and everyone focused on them. It can be said that during this period of time, They are superstars, and they are not at the same level as domestic first-line actors. This is a terrifying popularity.

The time was expected by everyone, and it came to July 30th.

There is only one day left before the premiere of "Watchmen Alliance", and everyone in the dust is busy for this grand premiere, while Lin Juan arrived at Tianhai International Airport wearing sunglasses. Today Donny, Chris and the others will arrive in Huaxia.

At the airport, Lin Juan picked them up. This time, each of them brought a team of assistants and makeup artists behind them. Because they had to participate in the red carpet and show, they had to be fully prepared.

"Welcome to Huaxia." Lin Juan smiled and hugged everyone.

"I didn't expect it to be so soon, but I was looking forward to it." Donnie said to Lin Juan while hugging, and the others also laughed. Chris said, "We can't wait to see the full version of the movie."

"When I was watching the trailer, I couldn't believe that I shot it." Scarlett smiled and expressed amazement. You must know that when she was filming, she just ran through a passage made of iron frames by herself. Who knew In the trailer, there is a big green guy behind her, and there are sparks flying...

Stimulate……

She doesn't even know what the other shots will look like in the end. Some actions that she thought were silly when shooting, now she wants to see what the effect will be after the post-production is completed.

so cool.

"You will see." Lin Juan replied with a smile.

The group chatted and got into the car, drove to the hotel room that Chenguang had reserved for them, chatted for a while, and had a meal together, Lin Juan didn't bother them any more, let them sleep to overcome jet lag, tomorrow is the first day It's the screening, so you have to keep your spirits up.

At this time, the news of Scarlett and the others' arrival in China also spread, and there was another wave of hot searches. At the same time, movie fans couldn't help but start looking forward to tomorrow's premiere and the first wave of comments.

...

"Director, it's time for us to go."

At noon the next day, before they had eaten, Will was eager to take Lin Juan to go out. They had a busy schedule today.

Will is really looking forward to this day, he is finally going to make his debut in the league, the "Iron Man" one doesn't count.

"Okay, let's go." After Lin Juan replied to Li Qingyu's message, he put on his peaked cap and responded to Will with a smile. He now likes to wear a hat more and more when he goes out, which can block other people's eyes.

quiet.

The two went downstairs, and Hu Qin was waiting for them downstairs in a car. They had to go to Chenguang to change the clothes that the company had chosen for them, and to put on makeup. Liu Xing, Downey, and the others would all come over, and they would go together in the afternoon walk the red carpet.

"Director Lin, what do you think of me wearing this?" Will asked, changing into a red and black suit and wearing a bowler hat.

"Director Lin, you've lost your hat a few times, and your hair has collapsed." The makeup artist fiddled with Lin Juan's hair and warned.

The hair is crushed, if it is a little more oily, it will be very sloppy, it will look very silky, and all temperament will be ruined, unless you are like Brother Xili, you can growl.

"Okay, um, it's okay." Lin Juan replied together. The stylist's vision was still fine, and Will felt okay wearing this outfit.

He himself is a gray and black suit, slim fit, young and full of vigor.

"I must be handsome tonight." Will looked into the mirror, muttering words.

He was very nervous, more nervous and excited than ever before, because this movie was released globally. If it really became popular, he might really be able to return to Hollywood and fulfill his dream of being a superstar.

Lin Juan smiled, then picked up the phone and sent Li Qingyu a message: "Where have you been?"

Li Qingyu is his partner on the red carpet tonight.

Not long after the message was sent, the door of the dressing room was pushed open. Li Qingyu was wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, with long hair and a shawl, smiling nicely, shaking the phone in his hand and asking, "Are you looking for me?"

Lin Juan smiled dumbly, nodded and said, "Well, I've been looking for you."

Will shivered beside him, and looked at Lin Juan strangely. Is this the same Lin Juan he knew?

The atmosphere in the dressing room was good, and it became more and more lively as Liu Xing and the others arrived one by one.

As soon as Liu Xing came in, he shouted, "Oh, Director Lin, you're so handsome today, and sister Qingyu, oh my god."

Today he is wearing a light blue suit, which also highlights his handsomeness.

There were more and more people, and everyone chatted with each other after saying hello. Seeing how Lin Juan and Li Qingyu were in love, the topic somehow turned to everyone's first love. While chatting, Downey asked Tom: "Tom, What's the most romantic thing you've ever done?"

Tom recalled and said: "I think about it, I was in college that year, and my girlfriend had to work part-time in Paris for half a year. Once she asked me to spend the weekend together, but I had an audition, so I rejected her. .”

Scarlett shook her head and said, "It's not romantic at all."

Tom smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, I thought so too, so when it was about to be my turn, I ran out, got on the train to Paris, and found that I was choosing what to eat at an ice cream point What kind of taste does she have?"

"I walked up behind her and whispered in her ear: It's hard to decide, isn't it?"

"Wow~"

The women in the dressing room booed enviously, and even activists like Liu Xing Chris joined in the fun.

Scarlett said with a smile all over her face, "She must love you to death."

Chris patted Tom on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I learned."

Downey said calmly, "If I do this while Susan is doing the dishes, I might get beaten."

Tom smiled and said, "Yes, she almost fainted."

Lin Juan smiled and suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Looking back, Li Qingyu was staring at him with a half-smile, and then he suddenly realized that he rarely gave her surprises or romance.

Is it not enough for me to do this?

Lin Juan held Li Qingyu's hand, and gave him an apologetic look. Li Qingyu smiled with satisfaction, and the corner of his mouth was very sweet, as if to say that he forgives you.

Everyone in the room looked at them, exchanging teasing glances. They have all experienced this stage.

The time passed quickly during the pleasant communication, and everyone huddled together to eat boxed lunches, which must have been unexpected to the fans waiting at the World Expo.

At three o'clock, after everyone had put on their makeup and changed their clothes, the people from Chenguang reminded them that they could start.

Because the movie lasts for two and a half hours, the red carpet starts at five o'clock. It is expected that everyone will enter the venue at six o'clock. It is expected to end at nine o'clock.

Lin Juan got up and looked around, then smiled and said, "Let's go."

It's time to go to war.

...

At this time, the gate of the Tianhai World Expo was crowded with reporters, scalpers and movie fans.

"Brother, the ticket for the second floor is two thousand and three, do you want it?"

"Damn, did you eat shit? A ticket is so expensive?"

"Is this still expensive? It's okay to be poor, and I don't inquire about it. The tickets for the front row on the first floor are already over 10,000." The scalper looked disdainful.

The popularity of "Alliance" is really not a bragging right now, even the ticket price behind the third floor has been raised to more than 1,000.

One-third of the tickets for the premiere are given away, one-third is drawn from lucky loyal fans, and the last third is sold online. The tickets are sold out in ten seconds on the day of the sale, and the ticket price is not expensive , two hundred and six on the first floor, one hundred and three on the second floor, and fifty-six on the third floor.

In the city of Tianhai, it is really not enough to eat a meal. The thousands of dollars sold are basically bought mineral water, which is now displayed for fans at the entrance of the World Expo for free.

"No, no, keep it as a family heirloom." The passer-by said and left, but within a few seconds, a foreigner rushed out and asked in English, "Dude, how much did you say the ticket was just now?"

"What?" The scalper was stunned. Do scalpers have to master foreign languages ​​now?

After some software communication, the foreigners paid without saying a word after knowing the price.

"Okay, I want..."

The passers-by who hadn't gone far were dumbfounded, where did the foreigners come from? It's just watching a movie, so why spend so much money? Is this foreigner crazy?

Passers-by will not understand movie fans. At this time, there are many movie enthusiasts flying to China to watch the premiere at the gate of the World Expo.

Not to mention, most of the people who buy scalpers are foreigners.

The place was bustling, and suddenly, there was a scream from the red carpet, and the crowd scattered all over looked at the room where the scream came from, and then began to gather there.

The red carpet has begun!

The first ones to arrive must be Lin Juan and Li Qingyu. After entering the arena, they will serve as hosts to welcome the later guests.

"A lot of people."

While in the car, Li Qingyu couldn't help sighing, this battle was comparable to a concert.

At this time, thousands of spectators gathered here, as well as passers-by, reporters, and police officers maintaining order. It was a lively scene.

And the black nanny car they were riding in also attracted the attention of movie fans, and they all stretched their necks to look here.

"En." Lin Juan looked at the crowd outside and nodded with a smile, full of gratitude and satisfaction in his heart.

These are the people who love his movies.

It was only after he was liked that he felt that his movie was liked by so many people, which is really great.

"Let's go down." Lin Juan turned to Li Qingyu and said.

"kindness."

The car door opened, and sharp-eyed fans immediately saw who was in the car, and yelled, "It's Lin Juan and Li Qingyu."

After hearing the voice, the fans immediately exploded, very fanatical.

"Director Lin is awesome!!"

"Director Lin, I love you!! Come on!!"

"Long live the "Alliance"!"

"Director Lin, look here!!"

"Clear rain!!"

The shouts immediately resounded in all directions, and the red carpet was densely packed with reporters. They pressed the shutter, filmed Lin Juan getting off the car, and then brought out the scene of Li Qingyu with a smile.

Li Qingyu is wearing a beige princess dress today, her hair is slightly curly, with crystal ornaments, and with her makeup, she looks grand and elegant.

The two walked onto the red carpet together, which kicked off today's prelude. The flow of people began to gather here, and the policemen began to maintain order with high concentration. The two stopped and walked, and finally entered the venue with cheers and shouts. After entering, the next car came again immediately.

This time it was Yu Yan and Liu Yan.

The cheers suddenly became louder.

The fans of the two formed a phalanx, and the momentum was astonishing.

Groups of guests began to enter the arena. Lin Juan led Liu Xing and Yu Yan to stand at the door to welcome the celebrity directors who came to join us today. However, he didn't stand for too long, and then he accompanied Jiang Wen, Deng Tao, etc. The director went in to chat.

There are really many people who come to join in the fun today.

The arrival of big names such as Wu Jing and Liu Hua set off waves of climax outside. There are also some singers, such as Deng Qiqi, Brilliance and other people who have worked together, and a group of young and middle-aged actors invited by Chenguang, such as Li Mi, Jia Liang, Li Xiaoyao, Huang Jiaozhu, Yang Tong, Wu Han and others are all star-studded.

The reporters and the media kept taking pictures, and the pictures of the premiere scene were spread everywhere. The hot topic on Weibo at this time was the premiere, and the hot search rankings kept changing. Why did this person show up? What kind of clothes the female star wears, the momentum is huge.

Finally, before six o'clock, the red carpet was over, and all the guests entered the venue. At this time, the venue was almost full, and audiences with tickets could come in at any time.

The premiere ceremony was about to begin officially, and Li Lan reminded Lin Juan that it was time to bring someone to speak on stage.

This link is to tell the main creative team some mental journey and feelings, and it can be sold badly or something.

Lin Juan led Liu Xing and the others to the stage amid applause. Lin Juan made the opening remarks first: "Hi everyone, I am Lin Juan, and I am a director."

There was a chuckle from below, and he couldn't help laughing himself, saying: "It seems to be nonsense, everyone who comes here should still know me."

After laughing, he said sincerely: "I'm very glad that you all came to the premiere of my new movie."

"Next, I will talk to you about this movie with the main creative team."

In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, Liu Xing chatted with Downey and others one by one about his mentality after being approached by Lin Juan, and some interesting things that happened on the set.

"To be honest, I've never filmed a scene like this before. I didn't know what I was going to do today until the day before I arrived on the set, and I still don't know the complete script." Yu Yan was accusing Lin Juan, and gave a few examples.

Scarlett also joined the topic: "Yes, I know the name of my character from my rival actor."

A group of people accused Lin Juan one after another, which caused a burst of laughter in the venue. Among other things, just watching these stars tell these behind-the-scenes stories is actually worth the price of admission.

Of course, those who bought scalper tickets have to be excluded here.

At the end of the session, Lin Juan concluded with a smile and said: "I know that everyone has a lot of questions, but you can find the answers in the film. I hope you can explore the plot that I have hidden in the film. Questions, there will be a question-and-answer session afterwards."

"Next we will officially play the video. There are 3D glasses next to the seats on the left of everyone. Since the video is relatively long, if anyone wants to go to the bathroom, they can go now."

As soon as Lin Juan finished speaking, there was laughter from below, and at the same time, a group of people really got up and went to the bathroom.

Lin Juan smiled and looked at the audience, and finally said: "Next, welcome everyone to my world, thank you."

Amid the applause, Lin Juan led the people off the stage, and the next second, the lights in the venue dimmed.

The movie has officially started.

In the World Expo, more than 2,000 seats were full, and there were some standing staff to maintain order and prevent people from stealing pictures.

The anti-theft work of "Alliance" is stricter than any movie.

The temperature in the venue was 23 degrees, and the air conditioner was fully turned on. With the weather outside being close to 40 degrees, sitting in this environment and watching the premiere of a long-awaited blockbuster was definitely a pleasure.

"It was great just said."

After coming down, Li Qingyu leaned into Lin Juan's ear and laughed at Yan Yan's praise. The phrase "Welcome to my world" made her feel warm.

At that moment, Lin Juan was really shining.

Lin Juan smiled and took her hand, rubbed it carefully, and responded softly: "Watch the movie seriously."

As he spoke, he put on his glasses and looked up at the big screen.

Li Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled, pulled her hair back and looked up at the screen at night. At this time, almost all the people in the audience were doing this, including Liu Xing, Downey and the other actors.

You must know that sometimes they are also confused during the filming process, and they don't even know what they are doing.

The opening title appeared on the huge screen, the dragon logo and the producer's LOGO appeared one by one, and in the end it was still a huge six characters - the work of director Lin Juan!

As if to kick off, after these six characters appeared, a blue Rubik's Cube appeared on the screen.

The low and dull stereo surround sound resounded throughout the venue.

"The Cosmic Rubik's Cube has awakened, and it is in the human world."

The picture flies across a strange space, as if it is in the universe, with long steps and towering thrones.

"Let that wretch go first, and our Cirita warriors will follow."

A light flickered in the darkness, and a group of alien warriors appeared on the screen, which was strange and shocking.

"That planet can be given to him, but the Rubik's Cube and the entire universe will be ours."

The camera zoomed in on the Rubik's Cube, and shuttled through the blue Rubik's Cube, as if traveling through the entire Milky Way, and then a helicopter appeared in the picture, and the sound of propellers resounded throughout the venue.

"Are the Kirita people the villains of this movie? Why doesn't God's Domain care?" Li Qingyu asked in a low voice.

The beginning of the movie created contradictions and aroused the expectations of movie fans.

"God's Domain is not invincible." Lin Juan said softly, and Li Qingyu was thoughtful.

On the screen, Captain Nick, played by Will, appeared on the stage. The Rubik's Cube opened a portal. Loki appeared in the portal. Using frost magic and illusions, he easily snatched the Rubik's Cube and controlled Hawkeye and the doctor.

"I am Loki, from God's Domain, and I will rule you all." Loki smiled gracefully.

"Does your brother agree?" Will was beaten to the ground, panting and staring at Loki and asked.

"You mean that idiot? I'll kill him when I rule you."

"Commander, he's stalling for time." Hawkeye interjected, Loki raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Oh~ that's really cunning."

"In this way, let's play a game. I will stay on Earth for a while. During this time, you can try your best to find me and stop me. If it doesn't work..."

"What are you going to do?" Nick stared at Loki.

"You will know." Loki said with a smile, and then said to Hawkeye and the others: "Okay, we should go."

With a swipe of his hand, a dark energy portal appeared. Before entering the portal, he turned his head and smiled, revealing the deep decree lines on the corner of his mouth: "Then, the game begins."

Loki took Hawkeye and they stepped into the portal and disappeared.

Nick picked up the walkie-talkie and said with difficulty: "Everyone evacuate quickly, there will be an explosion in five minutes."

After speaking, he quickly evacuated from the underground base with the support of others.

...

"Loki is so handsome, he is so handsome when he does bad things."

"This is a complete slap, God is still different."

"What the hell is Loki trying to do?"

"Didn't he get the Rubik's Cube? Just go straight away, why do you want to stay on Earth? And people stop him."

"Ghosts can guess what he's thinking..."

There was a murmur in the theater, but then a silence as the film continued.

After everyone withdrew from the base, the base collapsed in the explosion. Nick sat on the helicopter watching the flames, and said in a deep voice, "The war has begun."
