China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

During the post-production days, after get off work at night, Lu Pingping and his friends spent their time watching TV.

After entering April, the film market has been quiet. Hollywood blockbusters are still rampant, and the rest are on hiatus. The box office is about the same as last year. Even for Hollywood blockbusters, the results are only around 40 to 50 million.

It seems that the two blockbusters last year did not have much impact on the film market.

On the contrary, it is the TV drama market. Various classic TV dramas have been bombarded one after another, and the entire TV drama market is booming.

In March, CCTV's "A Family of Gold" was released. Chen Kun and Dong Jie became popular. Liu Qianqian also tasted the popularity. She always asked for safety on QQ: "Watch the xx program on channel xx this Friday. !”

Lu Ping'an replied: "I saw it, and my teeth were stained when I smiled."

As a result, Liu Qianqian covered her mouth whenever she smiled in subsequent shows.

Chen Kun would occasionally send him text messages, telling him that his schedule was unavailable recently and whether he had any new dramas.

Lu Ping'an liked this kind of straightforwardness, so he replied directly: "If you can beat Jiang Wen to the next part of the movie, I'll give it to you directly."

Chen Kun replied: "Let's find someone to tie him up without anyone noticing!"

Lu Ping'an: "I will show him the text message."

So Chen Kun was blackmailed by Lu Pingan for several meals.

It was all a slapstick fight between friends, with nothing to do, and Lu Ping An thought it was quite fun.

Su Youpeng's version of "Heaven and Dragon Sword" also started airing in March. The great thing about Jin Yong's drama is that it has no worries about selling. After the first round, the next round will be seamlessly aired.

Gao Yuanyuan's Zhou Zhiruo is still so classic, and Jia Jingwen is also good-looking. Lu Pingan sent Gao Yuanyuan a text message: "Zhou Zhiruo is a little fat."

Lu Pingan and Gao Yuanyuan would occasionally contact each other, but more often than not, the other party would rarely call during holidays or when Lu Pingan had won some honors.

Gao Yuanyuan also called me directly today for some reason.

"No, I'm already very thin."

During this period, Lu Ping'an found out that Gao Yuanyuan said that she fell in love with acting after finishing "Yitian".

Then he said directly: "Next time if you come to me for a play, my acting skills will impress you."

It turned out to be a deal.

"Okay, when you are single, I will arrange a heroine for you!"

Lu Ping'an answered directly.

Now that the old scumbag's true nature has been exposed, Lu Ping'an wouldn't even bat an eyelid when he said these words.

In fact, among all the future works of this girl, it seems that none of them are worth picking up.

For the rest of the projects, I really couldn't think of any roles that would be suitable for her.

So I'm sorry, Comrade Yuanyuan.

Opposite me, Gao Yuanyuan asked jokingly: "What if I'm single now?"

"Then I'll write a script for you on the spot."

"real?"

"of course."

"Well, I'm single now."

"hehe."

"Why do you smile so weirdly?"

"You can feel it yourself."

Gao Yuanyuan continued: "It's true."

"I believe you can do it. I'm going to take a shower. Let's talk back."

You are single, just like I said I am single, do you believe me or not?

At the end of April, "Talent and Beauty" was released, and Lu Ping'an felt that the most beautiful person in the film was still Zeng Li.

On May 1st, childhood memories "Young King" will be released online, Wu Qilong's hatred for stealing his wife! The movie is pretty good.

However, Lu Ping'an didn't have time to review it because the post-production of the short film was completely completed.

On the same day, Jiang Wen strolled into the courtyard, looking not in a good mood.

Jiang Wen entered Lu Ping'an's office glumly, without saying hello, and sat down on the sofa with Ge You lying down, then looked at the ceiling in trance.

Lu Ping'an poured him tea and joked: "What's wrong with you, were you hacked?"

"Yes, it was cut."

Jiang Wen still looked like a dead fish, as if his soul was gone.

"Whatever the situation is, tell me happily."

After Jiang Wen heard this, he didn't care at all about Lu Ping'an's teasing. He stood up and talked about what happened recently.

And what he was talking about was exactly the "Barber" incident.

Chen Yifei, the director of the movie "The Barber", is a top painter at the moment. It is said that a painting can sell for tens of millions.

Later, Chen Yifei turned his attention to the film and television industry, hoping to create his own world in the film and television industry.

"The Barber" is the first film that Chen Yifei is preparing to direct. In 2001, this film invited two big names, Jiang Wenge You, to serve as the first and second male lead, and also invited newcomer Zhou Yun who had just graduated.

As a result, Jiang Wen and Ge You asked to change the script as soon as it started. It took Chen Yifei nearly two months and a total of 8 changes before he passed Jiang Wen's level.

When everyone finally turned on the phone, another problem occurred.

Jiang Wen began to interfere in the filming, but Chen Yifei was not as easy to talk to as Lu Tailang. After all, Chen Yifei was both a director and an investor.

Over time, the contradictions intensified, and eventually Jiang Wen and Chen Yifei collapsed.

It wasn't until March 2002 that filming was finally stopped due to a quarrel. This time, they held the first meeting of the crew.

According to staff present at the time, Jiang Wen listed Chen Yifei's nine major crimes at the conference.

I don’t know what these “9 deadly sins” are.

Faced with Jiang Wen's rebuke, Chen Yifei was not to be outdone, saying that Jiang Wen had not corrected his position, and that Jiang Wen's lavish spending was so wasteful that many unnecessary scenes had to be shot over and over again.

In the end, Jiang Wen won the argument, because Jiang Wen was almost responsible for everything from location selection to actors to lighting arrangements. To put it bluntly, Jiang Wen was the mastermind behind the show, and Chen Yifei was nothing more than He is just a "puppet" who provides money.

Finally, in April this year, just a few days ago, the filming of "Sweeney" was stopped.

When Jiang Wen left, Ge You and Zhou Yun also followed. Now, all the main actors and actresses had left, and they couldn't even take pictures if they wanted to. Chen Yifei was so angry that he was immediately hospitalized.

When things have developed to this point, even if Jiang Wen had a great artistic reason, it becomes unreasonable.

And Lu Ping'an knew that things were far more than that.

Later, in 2005, Chen Yifei decided to reshoot the drama, and also chose Chen Kun and Zeng Li to star.

However, what was unexpected was that Chen Yifei passed away just two months after filming. He died of exhaustion.

This also caused Jiang Wen to be criticized again. At that time, many of the older generation scolded him half to death.

"This is my first time as a director, so please give in."

After listening to Jiang Wen's words, Lu Pingping advised.

"He is not suitable to be a director. He has a poor script and a lack of control over scheduling. He is good at painting, so what kind of director is he?"

Jiang Wen was still vomiting speechlessly, "If he is like you, can I quarrel with him?"

"..."

Lu Ping'an scratched his head. This was not easy to answer. He simply asked directly: "Then he is hospitalized. Have you gone to visit him?"

"Look, he's gone."

"You should go back and find time to visit more. The old man is old, so don't do anything bad, otherwise it will be a black spot in your life."

After hearing this, Jiang scratched the itch on his brow and ears, took a sip of tea, and waited for a while before saying, "I want you to teach me!"

Jiang Wen sometimes really feels like a child.

Lu Ping'an no longer dwells on this topic.

After drinking tea for a while, Jiang Wen talked about the script of "Hungry Platform".

"I changed your script."

Hearing this, Lu Ping'an raised his eyebrows instantly.

Is it your turn now?
