When rebirth encounters crossing [showbiz]

Traveling through, a word that was originally tinged with fantasy happened to me. The first feeling was surprise, and the second feeling was strangeness.

A familiar yet strange world.

Many men have a latent factor of unwillingness to be ordinary, and Chen Lu is no exception. An opportunity comes to him, and he has a life that has not yet begun. If he is still willing to be lonely like before, then he is not Chen Lu.

He admits that he is a very ambitious person, hoping to let everyone know his name, hoping to achieve achievements, hoping... Dreams come true...

When he saw the movies in this world, Chen Lu knew that his chance had come.Although the movies in this world can't be said to be too bad, they are far from the variety and prosperity of the earth space where I was in my previous life.In his previous life, Chen Lu was an online film critic who loved movies very much. Those incomparably classic movies seemed to be reflected in his mind.

Be a director?

This is Chen Lu's dream in his previous life. He was far away from this dream in his previous life, but he is very close to it in this life.Chen Lu knows that as long as he has the opportunity to make a movie, he can succeed.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, not to mention that Chen Lu who traveled through time is now only a seven-year-old child.

He has no funds, no connections, nothing.Parents will not support Chen Lu's almost whimsical idea.

All he can rely on is himself.

First he needs money.Fortunately, although Chen Lu only has movies in his head, he still has some short stories he has read.

Although I can only remember the general idea, the novels that Chen Lu can remember are very special. Even without the writing style of the original author, Chen Lu's manuscripts can still stand out among the many submissions with their bizarre plots.

Chen Lu's first funding was from submitting manuscripts.Sometimes being young is a hindrance, but sometimes it is an advantage.When the magazine learned that the stories were written by a seven-year-old child, it started promoting them.Chen Lu's "talent" began to be recognized by everyone, and even his parents began to support his creation.

Feeling that the time was right, Chen Lu started his next plan.

At the age of nine, he had already become a well-known little writer and had published a collection of short stories, but this was not enough.It was not enough for Chen Lu. On his birthday, he announced his plan to his current parents to become a director and make movies.

His parents felt that Chen Lu was a very purposeful person and supported his actions very much.But when they heard that Chen Lu decided to start filming now, they all dissuaded him. He is only nine years old, how can he make a film?If they were 19 years old, they might still think it was a very good decision.

Chen Lu's first film was a DV film.

This is a decision he made after careful consideration.Even if he has royalties, it is not enough.No matter how small the start-up capital to shoot a movie is, it usually needs more than one million yuan, and Chen Lu doesn't have that much money.

DV movies became the best choice for Chen Lu. Although DV movies were not the mainstream in his previous life, there were many successful examples. Even DV movies made with less than [-] yuan won a box office of hundreds of millions, which has never been broken. Earnings ratio records.

The most famous of these is The Blair Witch, a low-budget, high-grossing miracle.

Although the world Chen Lu is in now has DV equipment, most of the DV films are for personal use, and none of the DV films are actually released in cinemas.This is an opportunity. Chen Lu is not sure when the DV movie will be shot, so he wants to seize this opportunity.

Although Chen Lu doesn't have much money now, it is more than enough to shoot a DV movie.When I heard that my son was just shooting a movie on DV, instead of wanting to shoot a film movie.Chen Lu's parents were supportive because, to them, it seemed a bit of nonsense.At that time, no one thought of using DV to shoot movies and then show them in movie theaters.Children have the right to be willful, so Chen Lu's parents began to help Chen Lu to make his somewhat complicated childhood wish come true.

For a movie, the script is the key.But the most important thing Chen Lu lacks is the script. The success of "The Blair Witch" is that the Blair Witch is a very famous legend in the local area and is well known to everyone.There are many people who believe in the existence of the Blair Witch. The movie "The Blair Witch" was shot under the No.1 name, and it is very immersive when you watch it.Coupled with false publicity, this low-cost movie is enough to create a miracle at the box office.

The general development of this world is similar to the earth in Chen Lu's previous life, but there are also many places where the cultural development is different. For example, the most famous legend in Country M here is Midnight Fairy Doris.

Chen Lu began to write a script based on this legend. This script is not complicated. In order to strive for truth, this story does not need too many ups and downs, it only needs to be true!Let everyone believe in the existence of Doris, the midnight enchantress.

The reason why Chen Lu obtained the consent of his parents was because what he did really required an adult to come forward.

Such as renting props, such as recruiting actors.

Actors, because of limited funds, it is impossible to find any professional actors.So Chen Lu's father directly looked for it among the students of a certain film academy in country M. At that time, no one took Chen Lu's film seriously. I came here because I was interested in Chen Lu himself.

In the end, with a stiff face, Chen Lu quickly picked four boys from a group of people watching and ran back.Because the group of students looked at him one by one with incomparable novelty, and some even squeezed his face, saying that he had ideals at such a young age, and that he would definitely become a real director in the future.

Those are all seeing Chen Lu's efforts as he is playing a game, and Chen Lu, who is already an adult in his heart, has no choice but to do so.But that's okay, those students love to play, and they didn't take Chen Lu's movies seriously, and they didn't ask for a lot of salary, which saved a lot of money.

The filming went relatively smoothly, and it was completed after about a month of filming.But Chen Lu's parents also began to breathe a sigh of relief, but Chen Lu did not. His efforts have just begun.

If a film is to be released, it needs a film distribution company.

Chen Lu has no contacts and can't contact theaters, so the movie can't reflect it at all.

However, very well, Chen Lu's previous efforts were not in vain.He also has a certain publicity channel, that is, magazines.

He wrote an article about Doris the Midnight Demon from the beginning, and after paying a certain fee, the magazine began to promote it.At the same time, Chen Lu also visited the editor of a daily newspaper, and began to publish another novella of his own on the largest story newspaper in M ​​country.

Propaganda on paper is far from enough. Chen Lu began to publicize on the Internet and in schools, but the funds required for publicity are too huge, and the publicity has only been carried out a little.

Then, Chen Lu took the tape of "Midnight Demon Girl Doris" and another script and began to arrange for the film company.

Chen Lu knew that DV movies were still a new thing, and ordinary film companies would not accept them at all, so he could only rely on the other side of the script in his mind to lure the film companies.

All the film companies were very interested in seeing Chen Lu's script, but they were skeptical about Chen Lu's DV movie. They had never seen a DV movie, and they didn't feel the beauty of the blurry and shaky weird shots.

Chen Lu traveled to many companies, and finally, with the help of a director who valued the script in Chen Lu's hand, he got a film company's investment in his film.

200 million publicity funds.

With the publicity funds back, Chen Lu began to work with a professional publicity team to promote his film.

First of all, the target audience of the film is young students. Most of the young people who are more interested in this kind of legend and will enter the movie theater are such young people.

In this regard, the network and the campus have become important publicity channels.In propaganda, the most important method is to emphasize authenticity.

DV will give people a very real feeling, and the way Chen Lu shoots DV movies makes this DV movie look like a documentary, just a real event accidentally filmed by a few college students.In fact, the original promotional direction of the film company was Chen Lu, a nine-year-old director, but under Chen Lu's strong opposition, this plan had to be changed.

If he can become a selling point, for the first movie, Chen Lu doesn't mind exposing it.However, the announcement of the director of the film is obviously inconsistent with the theme of this DV movie. The most needed propaganda for this movie is to promote the false story as a real documentary.

But fortunately, Chen Lu's advanced and novel ideas coupled with the professional quality of the publicity team made the film's publicity unexpectedly good. Everyone can't wait to know, the story of the four young students and the midnight enchantress Doris, Are those students dead?

Chen Lu fought hard at the film company but only got dozens of theaters, so Chen Lu's first film started very simply.

Just as Chen Lu imagined, this novel movie achieved very good results. Although there are not enough theaters, the terrifying attendance rate is enough to explain everything.

After the film company was surprised, they also saw the potential of "Midnight Fairy Doris" and began to increase the number of theaters rapidly. This movie lived up to expectations. On the basis of having enough theaters, it surprisingly won the box office of the entire M week. Gang's two championships, the final box office stopped at 1000 million.

This is the beginning of Chen Lu's dream.
