Perfect Superstar

Just after New Year's Day in 2017, Lu Chen flew back to Xiangjiang.

The post-production special effects of "A Chinese Ghost Story" are being worked overtime, and the editing, dubbing and soundtrack issues are also involved in the later stage. He, a key figure, must not leave for too long, otherwise it will affect the release plan.

So when he returned to Xiangjiang, Lu Chen didn't rush back to his studio, but went to Xinghui Yinghua.

The special effects of "A Chinese Ghost Story" are contracted to Xiangjiang's Xinghui Yinghua. Xinghui Yinghua is not the largest film and television special effects production company in Hong Kong's industry, but it has good strength and rich experience. It has participated in the special effects production of many major domestic dramas. , quite a reputation in the circle.

As a fantasy romance film born out of "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", "A Chinese Ghost Story" does not involve many special effects shots, but the post-production special effects really cost what you pay for, so in this regard, Lu Chen didn't care at all. Unambiguously, a budget of tens of millions was directly issued.

Many domestic films or TV series, including Xiangjiang, are often reluctant to invest in this area. On the one hand, they shout to be in line with Hollywood, and on the other hand, they make do to fool the audience. The resulting "five cents special effects" make people laugh and cry. The result is The loss outweighs the gain.

Lu Chen would not make such a stupid mistake.

The level of Xinghui Yinghua is quite good, and Lu Chen is also very satisfied with the few fragments that have been prepared in advance.

"Wan Dao, thank you for your hard work!"

Ever since "A Chinese Ghost Story" was finished, Wan Xiaoquan, the real behind-the-scenes director, didn't take time off to rest. He even stayed in Xiangjiang on New Year's Day, and was responsible for supervising the post-production of the film.

If it weren't for his hard work and hard work, Lu Chen would definitely not be able to be so relaxed. Whether "A Chinese Ghost Story" can be filmed is a problem.

So Lu Chen, who flew back from the capital, was a little embarrassed to see Wan Xiaoquan again in Xinghui Yinghua.

In terms of his wholehearted love for movies, he is not as good as Wan Xiaoquan.

However, after paying so much, Wan Xiaoquan was unable to put his name in the subtitles of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

But Wan Xiaoquan himself was content, he smiled and said: "It's not hard, this movie has the potential to be a big hit, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it, but..."

He hesitated for a moment, but still said: "According to the current production progress, I'm afraid it may not be able to catch up with the Spring Festival."

January 27 is New Year's Eve,

It is only a little more than a month until the Lantern Festival. Given Lu Chen's request, Xinghui Films has tried its best, but it may not be able to meet the requirements of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the Spring Festival.

Because even if the production of special effects is completed, all the dubbing, soundtrack editing and so on are done, and then it has to be submitted for review, film arrangement, publicity, etc., the time is too tight.

Unless the requirements for post-production are lowered.

"It doesn't matter if you can't catch up with the Spring Festival!"

In this regard, Lu Chen said decisively: "First of all, we must ensure the quality. I only want high-quality products."

The domestic film market is booming, and the Spring Festival is the peak period for the box office. Originally, Lu Chen planned to take advantage of Xiangjiang's new film support policy to benefit from the Spring Festival.

But he will never lower the quality requirements of the film because of this.

In Lu Chen's dream world, the original "A Chinese Ghost Story" is undoubtedly a true classic. Now that he has brought this movie into reality, he can only make it better with his heart so as not to ruin the classic.

Lu Chen will not forgive himself for working so hard in the front, but later in order to catch up with the schedule so-so.

Wan Xiaoquan was very pleased by his attitude.

Wan Xiaoquan has been in the industry for so many years, has made many movies, and has encountered investors and producers who are eager for quick success and quick profits, and put forward various unreasonable demands in order to get back the funds.

In Wan Xiaoquan's view, there are many bad movies in Chinese movies, and these people need to bear a lot of responsibility.

He once worried that Lu Chen was young and energetic, or he was in a hurry to make money, so he didn't care about the later stage.

Now it seems that Wan Xiaoquan's worries are unnecessary.

That's why his work is worthwhile!

"That's all right."

I stayed at Xinghui Yinghua all afternoon, and Lu Chen didn't return to the studio until the evening.

It's past the off-duty time, and there is basically no one in the office, but the lights in the secretary's room are still on, and Li Zhen is busy working while sitting in front of the computer, and doesn't even notice Lu Chen's appearance.

Seeing such a scene, Lu Chen who just came in couldn't help asking: "Ah Zhen, you haven't gone back yet?"

"ah!"

Li Zhen was taken aback. When she saw it was Lu Chen, she was greatly relieved. She got up quickly and said, "Young Master Lu, are you back? I'm about to get off work."

She knew that Lu Chen was going back to Xiangjiang today, and she also knew that Lu Chen had gone to Xinghui Yinghua to supervise the work. She didn't expect to come to the studio so late: "What's the matter with you? Do you want me to help?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "No, I'll get some things and leave, just to take you back together."

"Thank you, Young Master Lu..."

Li Zhen frantically packed the documents scattered on the table, invitation letters and business cards, and said, "I also have work to report to you."

Lu Chen nodded: "Then let's talk in the car."

Since Honghua was defeated last time, and this local snake with a strong background was subdued, Lu Chen Film and Television Studio has really gained fame in Xiangjiang's circle, and has been known by more people.

Liu Gangsheng's appreciation of Lu Chen brought his reputation to a higher level. Afterwards, there was an endless stream of people who came to the studio to seek cooperation, invite Lu Chen to dinners or participate in programs under various names.

Only a few days after he left Xiangjiang, Li Zhen had already packed a thick stack of invitation letters.

Sitting in Lu Chen's car, she reported to Lu Chen like a treasure.

"Hong Kong Star Entertainment invites you to their company reception tomorrow night..."

"This is the business card of the chairman of Baolu Group. He wants to ask you to meet..."

"There is also this one, which was sent by Ms. Shu Jing herself. I hope you can attend her new album release."

"in addition..."

"etc!"

Lu Chen suddenly interrupted her babbling: "You mean Ms. Shu Jing?"

"Uh...yes."

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that she turned over the invitation letter just now and handed it to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen took it and took a closer look. Shu Jing's album release date is tomorrow night.

Shu Jing was a celebrity in the circle that Lu Chen met when he first came to Xiangjiang. She debuted very early, and after becoming famous, she married into a wealthy family. Later, she divorced her husband and returned to the entertainment circle.

Shu Jing is very passionate about charity and has a lot of connections in the industry. She and Chen Fei'er are friends.

Although there was such a relationship, because Lu Chen had a coffee alone with her and was photographed by the paparazzi, resulting in a small scandal, so Lu Chen basically didn't have much contact with her afterwards.

But the other party's new album press conference really has something to do with him.

I just came back from Hangzhou this afternoon. I am exhausted and tired. There is only one update in the evening. Please forgive me. (To be continued.)
