China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

On the set, Lu Pingan once again carefully calculated the average restoration level of all scenes and shots that had been shot so far.

Finally, we came up with a number: 99%.

Putting down his pen, Lu Pingan began to think.

This result may not be enough for a film with Jiang Wen's help.

But the room for change in "Hungry Platform" is very small.

"Hungry Platform" doesn't have many things that can be changed like "The Tuner".

For example, the environmental background is changed to Southeast Asia, the actor's lines are replaced with more Chinese memes, the character growth can also be changed to be more detailed, and the scene is vast, so the lens selection can also have more room.

"Hungry Platform" was set from the beginning to be the same as the original version, using all kinds of people and giving up on localization.

In this way, the entire film will not involve the underlying politics, environment, human geography, etc., and all scenes will be limited to the "vertical self-management center (prison)".

In this way, the operating space is directly halved.

The most important thing is that the theme of the film is very naked and straightforward.

So there is very little room for adaptation.

This is evidenced by the fact that Jiang Wen only produced optimized versions of his lines and ending.

Jiang Wen couldn't change the script.

This is not to say that "Hungry Platform" is great, but that this movie is less like a movie than "The Tuner" or other feature films, and more like a series of experimental films piled up with similes and metaphors.

Characters, lines, and performances are not the most important in this kind of film. No matter how well they are performed, they will not have a great impact on the degree of restoration.

The most important thing is the creativity and structure of the film.

Therefore, there were almost no changes to the film until filming was completed.

But whether it can be surpassed in the end depends on the last few shots.

Theoretically, if these last few shots were shot according to the original version, even if they were completely restored, they would not be able to surpass them in the end.

So if you want to achieve transcendence, maybe you really have to put your hope in Jiang Wen's version of the ending.

Lu Ping'an feels that achieving transcendence this time should be a high probability.

So next, it’s time for the answer to be revealed.

"Every unit is ready."

Following Lu Ping'an's order, a group of actors of various colors wearing chef uniforms entered the scene.

Then Lu Ping'an shouted to start.

Then Dashan, who had rehearsed many times, began to perform.

He took out a hair from the pudding cake and began to question and compare the little chefs.

Soon after, Lu Ping'an shouted "click" and then did it again.

Over and over again.

After more than an hour, the ending of the original version was completed.

Reduction degree 100%.

The system pops up with the achievement score: 99%.

As expected.

After a fifteen-minute rest, Lu Ping'an started filming Jiang Wen's version of the ending.

This time, the pudding cake was replaced by steamed cake.

It doesn’t matter whether the food is Chinese or Western. What is important is that the food has changed, which means that it is not served by the protagonist, but by someone after the protagonist. It may be served by someone who comes after the protagonist.

Then we started shooting again, and this time Dashan was obviously much more proficient.

Same action, same performance.

Half an hour later.

Lu Ping'an got results here.

Achieved score: 101%!

After filming, Lu Ping'an didn't call for completion for the time being. Jiang Wen asked at this time: "How is it? Have you decided which version to use?"

"Use yours!"

Needless to say.

It's all beyond that, so naturally I'll use him.

As for why changing food can have such a big effect.

Lu Pingan was inclined to accept Jiang Wen's answer.

He said before: "Two reasons, one big and one small. The big reason is that I want the story to be more malleable."

This is similar to what Lu Pingan guessed at the beginning.

The whole film extends from the protagonist's single resistance incident to "there are successors after the protagonist."

This will indeed give the film a deeper and wider ending.

In addition to this reason, Jiang Wen also mentioned another small reason: "The small reason is a metaphor. Which country does the cake come from?"

Jiang Wen didn't say much.

Lu Ping'an didn't ask anymore.

In short, if you really want to think about it this way, it will not do any harm to the film, but it will be a good thing and will make the film more "popular".

Or, this ending will be interpreted differently by film critics and netizens in the future.

No matter what, two things are certain for a safe journey.

First, there are super rewards this time.

Second, Lu Pingan has summed up some "transcendence tips".

Let Jiang Wen come to help, not just for rewards, but to learn something.

Before starting the filming of "Hungry Platform", Lu Ping'an had made a total of 10 films. Subtracting the super rewards obtained by grinding achievements, the only one that had surpassed him was "The Tuner", a feature film assisted by Jiang Wen.

In some of his later films, Lu Pingan actually never thought about transcending.

Being able to achieve 90% restoration is already very satisfying for him.

However, as the shooting progresses, the work in hand becomes more and more familiar, and the idea of ​​transcendence naturally becomes more and more strong.

Now after watching Jiang Wen's revision, Lu Ping'an feels that he can try to surpass it in the next movie.

"Finished!"

As Lu Ping'an gave the order, everyone at the scene suddenly cheered.

A series of information also appeared in Lu Ping'an's mind.

【Congratulations.】

[Super reward of "Hungry Platform": one-time prop, opened time cage, open for 6 months (time-limited props can only be obtained after the work is completely completed). This reward can be used in conjunction with other super rewards. You can increase the number of times you can obtain this reward]

Lu Ping'an's eyes lit up. Although he didn't understand what it was, he thought it was definitely not bad.

So you have to watch the editing next!

Fortunately, Lu Ping'an had already made an appointment with Zhang Yifan.

With this great guy here, maintaining 101% should not be a big problem.

. . . . . . .

"Director Ping An, let me toast you."

"Lu, I'm honored to be in your movie. I did it."

"Director Road"

At the finals banquet, a group of foreigners spoke either standard or broken Mandarin and toasted one by one.

These people have been in China for at least a year and are already familiar with the wine table culture, so when it comes to drinking, there is basically no discomfort.

The most active among them is Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's acting skills were not good at this time, and he was just a walk-on in the film, but this guy learned quickly and had a relaxed personality. Even though he only stayed on the set for three weeks, everyone in the movie was his friend.

In contrast, the protagonist Duan Long has a much quieter temperament.

However, as a native of Nova Scotia and a good drinker, he received the most care.

Duan Long also knows how to be a good person, but in fact he has a very light drinker and will drink marijuana after a while.

So at first, all the drinking was reserved for Lu Pingan and Jiang Wen.

The hair on both of them stood up at first.

After all, this guy's hormones are only slightly worse than Jiang Wen's.

As a result, he started to drift off after a few drinks.

This surprised Jiang Wen. Was he just pretending?

It wasn't until I saw his forehead hitting the edge of the table that I was convinced that it was a silver-like wax gun tip.

Zhang Songwen is better!

Jiang Wen patted Zhang Songwen on the shoulder.

Zhang Songwen smiled: "Teacher, I respect you."

"This is right!"

Jiang Wenzi finished his drink and pointed to Ping An, "Get him!"

Zhang Songwen’s smile faded again

Fortunately, Zhou Yun was present, and Zhou Yun already had some relationship with Jiang Wen, so when she looked at her after drinking, Jiang Wen put down the wine glass in his hand, and then looked at the ceiling.

The closing banquet lasted until early morning, and it was still a standard set meal. Lu Ping An never saves money on this aspect.

The various expenses for the film came out the next day.

Not including special effects, the total cost is 2.2 million.

It cost about 600,000 more than originally planned.

Well enough.

Zhang Yifan arrived in the afternoon, and then entered the later stage of high concentration.

The super reward cannot be let go in vain because of later events.

Entering the post-production stage, Lu Ping'an's work and rest time became regular again.

Yan Danchen is still filming in Wuhan, and it is said that everything is going well.

Gao Yuanyuan and Liu Qianqian will still contact Lu Pingan, just one by phone and the other by chatting on QQ.

It is said that Liu Qianqian will act in a movie, but the script has not yet been decided. Lu Ping'an knows that she will eventually decide to star in "Love in May" with Chen Bolin.

Gao Yuanyuan was a little confused. She called me every now and then, just to talk about performances.

What’s there to talk about about the show?

However, Lu Ping'an didn't refuse. He just treated it as a recreational game between the news broadcast and the TV series starting at 8 o'clock every night, to see who could resist it first.

Watching TV dramas every night is one of Lu Ping'an's current little hobbies.

This is all due to the fact that the current TV series are really suitable for aftertaste and the quality is also good.

Zhou Yi's "Young King" started airing, and at the end, he remembered the scene of the lizard man eating noodles and the scales falling off his body for many years.

What kind of noodles can be so delicious? !

"Conquer" has also started airing on Tianjin TV. When watching the seventh episode "Give you a chance, you're useless", Lu Pingan happily almost pretended that Bao Qiang, who was watching TV with him, was Feng Biao.

Not long after, the seventh episode ended, and the eighth episode came with "Huaqiang Buying Melons" again.

Along with the music, Lu Pingan seemed to see the barrage filling the screen.

King Yan was really unrivaled in this type of role during this period, and I felt like no one could play him better.

But in comparison, Lu Ping'an still prefers Yang Liqing in "The Righteous Way in the World Is Vicissitudes of Life".

The TV drama market is full of good works.

Wu Guohua is more worried about the prospects of "Goddess Dragon".

His thoughts are actually the same as those of other people who have watched the show, that is, this show will basically make you jump into it.

"Goddess Dragon" is scheduled to be released on July 12th, Saturday.

A week before it, "Returning the Pearl 3" will be released on Shonan Channel.

A film of this level will cause overflow damage to other TV stations.

One piece comes out, and the rest of the film is boring.

This was an example when the first and second parts were released.

So the closer the time was, the two TV stations also called, saying that if it really didn't work, they would switch to another channel, which meant that the broadcast would still be finished. In short, Lu Ping'an would definitely be able to survive in terms of face.

Lu Pingan expressed his gratitude, but still felt that the ratings would not be bad.

First of all, the record of "Goddess Dragon" in the original time and space is not bad.

Furthermore, the two films are not of the same genre.

Finally, the results of "Returning the Pearl 3" are indeed good, but the reputation and results will be far lower than expected.

Therefore, "Goddess Dragon" will still have good space.

Wu Guohua was worried: "If I pounce, it will have an impact on you."

Lu Ping'an thinks it's not a big problem.

Distribution and production are so different in meaning that the industry wouldn't be so bothered to keep an eye on him. Moreover, although the show's performance is good, it can only be said to be a lot better than many people expected, and it is not good enough to break into. Among the "top 20" in the country.

In this way, as a publisher, Lu Pingan will have no problem getting reviews from people who have good vision and a keen sense of the market. Even if he really pounces, Li Peng will not say that he bought the drama. As a publisher, he is the first to test the waters. In TV dramas, failure is the norm in everyone's eyes, and the acceptance rate will be very high.

However, precautions must be taken.

Lu Pingan immediately contacted Feng Ke and several media channels.
