I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

"Original film???"

Question marks appeared on several people's heads.

Does the original film that Lu Yi mentioned refer to the original film of the new movie?

He's done filming?

"Madman's Mouth" has just been released, and the new movie has solved the most difficult part of shooting?

Is this really as fast as humans can do it?

Compared with the previous doubts about work and the expectation of seeing clips of Lu Yi's new movie, this group of film and television practitioners was more shocked.

Many of them originally thought that Lu Lian was just recruiting some people for his team. Joining Lu Lian, he would be able to learn the most advanced post-production experience, meet some bigwigs, accumulate contacts, and provide assistance for future work.

When they saw the brand new office, at most they thought that Lu Jian might be expanding his business and opening a new studio here.

But now it looks like he is really just here for the later stage?

Why did Lu Juan spend so much money and conduct such a weird interview?

Several people followed Lu Jian into the screening room.

Lu Jian didn't explain too much, so he played the sample video that Qin Tiantian had seen last night, and selected some unprocessed clips for these people to see.

"...The current progress is like this. What you have to do is to post-process the original film into sample films. I will give certain instructions for the specific details. Of course, I also hope that everyone has ideas. Everyone here is a leader in the industry, and I believe you will have unique insights."

Lu Jian turned on the lights in the theater and explained.

"..."

Everyone sitting in the projection hall looked at each other, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

"Is this really the original film?"

Bai Qiquan muttered something.

Originally, he thought that the original film that Lu Lian was talking about was the kind of original video shot by actors in front of the green screen, or with rough props and sets. This kind of video not only needs special effects, but also post-production. The film quality is extremely rough.

But,

The "original film" that Lu Yi played for them, except for some leftovers such as some filters, post-processing color correction, and depth-of-field processing, everything else has been done.

No, not just done, but done perfectly.

The movement of monsters, the movement of hair, the effect of snow, the particle performance of bows and spells, as well as the processing of large scenes and buildings, it can be said that there is no problem at all in viewing the original film as the positive film.

Even a few people who specialize in this area feel that even if they give themselves a year or two and unlimited funds to make these pictures, they may not be able to do better.

And these special effects are the biggest workload in post-production.

Good guy.

At first, I thought that Lu Juan was asking me to do the whole film, but later I found out that I was only responsible for the post-production. Now, the people sitting in the auditorium realized that I was called by Lu Juan to be a tinkerer to complete the final aftermath. of.

It's like a jigsaw puzzle with thousands of pieces. Lu Juan has already put together the last two or three pieces, and then paid several people to finish it. It's like Lu Juan has already proved Goldbach's conjecture, but he is too lazy to copy it. It's like asking them to come over to help copy and print.

In fact, my own work does not require too much technical content, as long as I work normally for a few years, I can complete it smoothly.

Most of Lu Jiankai's salaries are more than twice what they were before they quit.

Is this Lu Jian doing charity?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, until Bai Qiquan raised his hand.

"Uh, Director Lu, your original film is already well-finished, isn't it enough for us to just do the post-production chores?"

"It can be understood in this way."

Lu Jian agreed without thinking.

Click——

Several people's worldviews were shattered.

Are rich people just so capricious?

Or is Lu Jian trying to humiliate us with money?

No, no, if you give so much money, I wish Lu Jian would humiliate him even more.

Wait, think about it the other way around, if you let Lu Yi do these chores that don't require much technical content, wouldn't it be a waste of his precious creative time?

It turned out that director Lu Yi had too many inspirations, so he wanted to spend more time on creation, so he entrusted us with these simple and repetitive tasks.

Some people have already begun to make up their minds.

Since it was the first day of employment, Lu Jian did not arrange a formal job, but only let everyone get to know each other and the working environment, and by the way, arranged a house for the employees who did not have a place to live.

After the company's affairs were settled, Lu Jian came to Jiangcheng Industrial's office building again.

Here, he met with the manager of AMC theaters, a Chinese named Thomas Lee.

AMC is one of the largest theater chains in the world. In contrast, Jiangcheng Cinemas of Jiangcheng Industrial only has a relatively large influence in the southeast region, while AMC firmly occupies the European and American markets. In addition, there is also Empire Entertainment Group Smaller theaters such as Man Lai Cinemas are the main force in the overseas film market. If Lu Yi wants to have his films released overseas simultaneously, he needs to contact these theaters and persuade them to provide schedules and film schedules. .

In the domestic market, Lu Yi's box office appeal is already very strong. After all, there are not many directors who can make two films with a box office of more than 2 billion in a row, let alone such a niche theme as horror and thriller.

But in foreign markets, Lu Yi's reputation is not so loud.

The domestic box office of 2 billion is only more than 300 million US dollars abroad. There are many movies that far exceed this figure. In the eyes of people who are not familiar with Lu Juan, Lu Juan is also a pretty good director of commercial films.

In addition, due to the preferences of domestic and foreign markets, many domestic blockbuster movies are actually not popular abroad.

Let’s not talk about the island country next door. Except for blockbuster movies like superhero movies, the most popular ones are cartoons. Many popular domestic crime movies and comedies don’t do well at the box office abroad, but they have a certain national flavor. Chinese military films have no sound abroad.

Prior to this, the highest overseas Chinese-language film was a martial arts film with a box office of 210 million US dollars, followed by a historical war film with a box office of 140 million US dollars, and the third with a box office of only 80 million US dollars.

Most foreign countries like kung fu movies, ancient costume martial arts war movies, even movies from island countries where horror movies are popular, it is difficult to get good reviews in Europe and the United States with the largest box office. Traditional horror is not as good as chainsaw and plasma chaos to those honest foreigners. fly.

As for Lu Yi, he had to initially convince the theaters to admit his film.

In the reception room of Jiangcheng Industrial Office Building, Lu Jian met Thomas Lee, who grew up abroad.

"Mr. Li, I brought you some small gifts."

Lu Jian put the bag in his hand on the coffee table and took out the contents.

"Here are the discs of my two previous films. I thought, no matter what conclusion our cooperation will reach today, you can watch my films for entertainment."
