"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" was a historical period drama that started shooting last year. Many top domestic stars were invited to join the cast. Lu Zhiyong was also a famous director, so it was considered an influential blockbuster.
At that time, "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" was filmed in Jinling Film City. Lu Chen had just finished filming "Autumn in My Heart". Under the introduction of Zhang De, the boss of Qiande Film Company, he played a small role in the film. He played a small soldier under the command of General Huo Qubing. He only had a few lines.
The film took more than a year from pre-shooting to post-production. It was released before the summer holidays mainly to avoid the competition with Hollywood blockbusters.
When "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" premiered, Lu Chen was invited to attend the ceremony.
However, Lu Chen couldn't spare time to go there. Secondly, he didn't have many scenes. It was inevitable that he would feel awkward being squeezed into a group of main characters, so he politely declined.
However, as it was his first film to be "electrocuted", he was very willing to contribute to the box office.
Even Chen Fei 'er went with him.
For a normal couple, eating, shopping and watching a movie together was a very common way of entertainment. However, for Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er, it wasn't easy. Not only did they have to disguise themselves, but they also had to ask their assistant to buy the movie tickets in advance to avoid being seen by others.
The two chose a cinema not far from the hotel. The screening would start at 8 pm. They entered the cinema at 7: 50 pm and sat down in the couple's seats in the last row.
Because it was prime time and the stars involved were big names, the occupancy rate was very high, at least 90%.
Chen Fei 'er gently leaned her head on Lu Chen's shoulder and whispered, "The last time I came to the cinema to watch a movie was about ten years ago."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "If you like, I can often accompany you to watch it."
Chen Fei 'er said seriously, "Sometimes I think it's better to be an ordinary person. There's not so much right and wrong, and it's not so tiring to live. When I meet someone I like, I can be happy and be with them again."
Lu Chen smiled and didn't say anything. If she could really be an ordinary person, she probably wouldn't want to.
It was nothing more than an outbreak of hipsterism.
Sensing Lu Chen's smile, Chen Fei'er pinched him and said, "When was the last time you watched a movie with your girlfriend?"
This question …
Lu Chen could only change the topic. "Ahem, are you thirsty? I'll open a bottle of water for you. "
No matter how he answered such a question, it would be wrong. He couldn't possibly lie through his teeth, right?
"Hmph!"
Chen Fei 'er snorted in dissatisfaction, but still hugged his arm tightly to his chest.
After a few minutes, the movie started.
Lu Zhiyong's directing skills were quite profound, especially when it came to such historical themes. He was able to handle it with ease. The scenes were grand, the props were well-researched, and the special effects were top-notch in the country.
If there was a flaw, it would be that "The Great Emperor of the Han Dynasty" had a common problem with many domestic blockbusters. That was, the storyline was obviously weak, and there were some unreasonable aspects.
When Lu Chen watched a movie now, he was completely used to watching it from a professional point of view. He even put himself in the shoes of the main character, thinking about how he would act better if he were in the main character's shoes!
Of course, this wasn't a habit he originally had. Ever since he stepped into the film and television industry, Mo Ran's life memories had dominated Lu Chen's mind.
In the dream world, Mo Ran was a taciturn person, but he was also a very talented actor. He liked to quietly figure out the roles in the script alone, and he also liked to watch excellent films, dramas, and novels at home and abroad, gaining the experience and knowledge he needed from them.
His memories undoubtedly had a great impact on Lu Chen. When he wrote "Full House of Romance," Lu Chen made major changes based on the foundation of the original work. He kept the framework of the original story, added more characters, and made up for many of the shortcomings of the original work.
Now, when watching "The Great Emperor of the Han Dynasty", he still thought about professional problems, all because of the subtle influence of Mo Ran's memories.
Halfway through the movie, Lu Chen finally made his appearance!
Last year, in order to promote "The Great Emperor of the Han Dynasty", the crew of "The Great Emperor of the Han Dynasty" had released some highlights of the movie on their official website. Among them was a video of Lu Chen's performance. At that time, it had caused quite a stir among his fans.
But at that time, the scenes were still relatively 'crude'. Without special effects and post-editing, the effect couldn't be compared to the movie that was officially released now.
Lu Chen's appearance was undoubtedly very shocking. Facing the thousands of Xiongnu soldiers, he brazenly charged forward alone. He was really like a tiger, and his horse was like a dragon. Coupled with the vigorous and impassioned soundtrack, it made the audience's blood boil!
The reaction of the audience in the theater was a strong proof of the outstanding effect of the movie.
"That looks like Lu Chen, right?"
"It's Lu Chen. This is the first time I've seen him act in a historical film. It's quite interesting."
"So handsome!"
"I almost didn't recognize him."
"Yes!"
The whispers of the audience was undoubtedly the best compliment.
And when Lu Chen's character started fighting with the Xiongnu generals, it was even more exciting.
Every move, every strike, the sound of the spear and hammer colliding, the shouts of thousands of soldiers, the neighing of the warhorses … Through the high-fidelity sound system that was set up around the theater, it was like a surging tide that slammed into the hearts of the audience.
At this time, no one spoke. Everyone was focused on the screen, afraid that they would miss a single scene.
On the screen, Lu Chen's expression was cold, his eyes sharp, and his spear was unstoppable!
From the moment he appeared to the moment he charged into the battle, Lu Chen had acted completely by himself. He did not use any stunt doubles, so the cameraman had a lot of freedom in choosing the lens. The close-ups were excellent, and the character's image was perfectly highlighted.
In fact, it even surpassed Huo Qubing's earlier performance!
Chen Fei 'er's beautiful eyes sparkled as she watched. She could not help but whisper in his ear, "Hubby, you're so handsome!"
The beauty's voice was as sweet as orchids, and Lu Chen could not help but be moved. He held her hand.
This was the first time Chen Fei 'er had called him' hubby '. Although it was mushy, he liked it!
It was a great sense of achievement.
Unfortunately, Lu Chen himself was not handsome for more than a minute on the screen. As a minor character, his character was surrounded by the Xiongnu army and died heroically. Soon, he received his bento box.
The theater was filled with regret. The audience reacted strongly to his character's death.
In fact, Lu Chen could only live for so long in the movies. If history was strictly followed, his character would definitely be shot into a hornet's nest on the spot.
"Too little!"
Chen Fei 'er was still not satisfied. "I should have given you more room to perform. This character has all the potential to be unearthed."
Lu Chen smiled and shook his head.
When he was filming "The Great Emperor of the Han Dynasty", he had just made a name for himself in the film industry. If it was not for coincidence, he would not even be a supporting character in this historical blockbuster. What was there to be picky about?
Moreover, there were many characters in this blockbuster. Huo Qubing was only a supporting character. For a minor character like him, being able to show his face for more than half a minute was already a great deal of treatment.
The movie continued to play.
Chen Fei 'er held Lu Chen's hand and used her finger to draw circles on his palm. "Let's go back to the hotel."
Her voice was very soft and seductive. It made Lu Chen's heart itch, as if there were ants crawling on it.
Although he had originally planned to watch the entire movie, Lu Chen was not stupid. He immediately left the theater with Chen Fei 'er and rushed back to the hotel for real time.
…
"The Great Emperor of the Han Dynasty" had grossed more than 100 million yuan in the first seven days. The industry estimated that the final box office of this blockbuster would be around 250 million yuan. Compared to the investment, it should not be a problem to break even.
As Lu Chen's first movie, "The Great Emperor of the Han Dynasty" also caused a great reaction among his fans. Many of them bought tickets to support his character.
In the end, the fans realized that in this two-hour long movie, Lu Chen only appeared for slightly more than half a minute. This made everyone feel like they had not seen enough and that the movie was over.
Therefore, many fans strongly urged Lu Chen to star in a movie in the future!
Let everyone enjoy watching it!
