China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

Chapter 12 Chinese New Year, shortlisted

The next day Lu Pingping dressed up, drove to school in A6, and sent Yiwei to the station.

Entering the school, I happened to meet Yan Danchen again.

"Hello, we meet again."

Lu Ping'an took the initiative to say hello.

Not surprisingly, Yan Danchen didn't recognize him at first sight.

After she looked at it for a long time, she was sure that the man in front of her was actually Lu Ping'an.

"Why have you changed so much?"

I have to say that road safety is much more pleasant now than it was more than a month ago.

I took off my glasses and changed my hairstyle to a refreshing one. My appearance was liberated and my body was not that thin anymore. Although I was still thin, I looked like I had more flesh.

Moreover, he seems to have grown a bit taller, and his dressing style has also changed, becoming more fashionable.

Now, she looked really amazing.

"It seems you didn't notice before. I just took off my glasses."

"So you are a superman and you can be unrecognizable if you take off your eyes."

"I don't have Superman's quirks."

"What's Superman's hobby?"

"Wear your underwear outside, and they're still red."

"Ha ha..."

Yan Danchen covered his mouth and laughed.

This scene made Zhou Yiwei and Zhang Songwen, who were carrying their luggage alone up and downstairs, scream in their hearts that they were unjust.

When they were ready to leave, the two ended their chat. Yan Danchen sighed: "It's great to have a car. It's free to come and go, and it's convenient."

Lu Ping'an answered the question at the right time: "When will you go home?"

"Tickets for the morning after tomorrow."

"Do you need my help? I'll charge you less for the fare."

"We still need the fare."

"certainly."

"How much?"

"A movie."

When Yan Danchen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then started laughing again.

After all, there aren’t many people with faces as direct as Lu Ping An’s these days.

And this method is very natural when used by Lu Ping An, without any feeling of greasiness or self-righteousness.

Yan Danchen didn't feel any discomfort.

But just when she said she wanted to think about it, Lu Pingan smiled casually and said:

"I'm kidding you, let's go, see you next year."

After saying that, Lu Pingan got into the car and drove off.

Yan Danchen looked confused, then gritted her teeth. She felt that this junior was really a bit bad!

. . . . . . .

After leaving the school gate, Zhou Yi gathered around the car and said enviously: "You drove around the school in a circle, and the whole school knew you."

There are many wealthy students in schools like Beijing Film Academy, but it is indeed rare these days to actually drive your own car and drive an A6.

In the past, Lu Ping'an always drove to the teachers' office building when he drove into school, but this time he showed up directly downstairs in the dormitory.

So Lu Ping'an is more eye-catching this time.

However, Lu Ping'an was very calm:

"I would rather not rely on money to get a reputation."

Zhang Songwen, who was in the back seat, gave a thumbs up: "You have high ideological awareness!"

Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "So you want to spread the news to me later, saying that I borrowed the car."

"I understand. The bigger the boss is, the more he has to keep a low profile. I will tell them later that you owe millions in debt."

"But don't, I still want to pick up girls."

"Bah! Disgusting!"×2

When we arrived at the train station, we saw off Zhou Yiwei, and then went to the airport to see off Zhang Songwen.

Then he returned to the store and worked for a while, and then saw Ning Hao off again in the afternoon.

It was already evening when Lu Pingping returned to school again.

After checking the time, Lu Pingan took a customized doll and went directly to Beijing Film Academy.

When they arrived at the girls' dormitory, Lu Ping'an put the huge packed gift box to her aunt.

Then he called Yan Danchen.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Yan Danchen's voice sounded a little stiff, and he seemed to have some objections to Lu Ping'an's teasing during the day.

Lu Ping'an ignored it and said directly: "I'll give you something. I'll leave it with your aunt in the dormitory. Goodbye."

Toot toot. . .

Yan Danchen was baffled.

But I still went down to look, and sure enough I saw a huge box.

She immediately called Lu Pingan: "What is this? It's so big."

"You'll know when you open it and take a look. It cost me a lot of money."

"I don't want waste!"

"Open it and take a look. If you don't like it, throw it away."

"What is it exactly?"

"It's such a surprise that you have to discover it yourself, bye bye."

The person on the other end hung up the phone again, and Yan Danchen was really annoyed by him.

But she was really curious about what Lu Pingan would give her.

It is said to be very expensive?

So she simply took it back to the dormitory and took a look before talking.

Fortunately, the box was not heavy and she could carry it back to the dormitory alone.

After returning to the dormitory, she opened the box.

But it turned out.

Is this a pillow?

Oh, this is a rag doll, a big one.

However, when she took out the whole doll, she laughed on the spot.

Because this puppet looks like a blue shark, but it has six eyes!

Six-eyed flying fish!

Yan Danchen immediately remembered the joke at the end of the banquet.

It made her laugh uncontrollably.

Then Lu Ping'an received a text message from her not long after: "You are so childish."

"Do you like it? It's tailor-made for you. It will give you a little more courage to accompany you on your way back."

"childish!"

"Then give it back to me."

The other side quickly replied: "No!"

Lu Ping'an's eyes lit up.

Interesting!

Lu Pingan put down his phone with a smile on his face.

The body becomes young and healthy, and the mentality also becomes much younger.

What he enjoys very much is this feeling, doing childish things and teasing the girls. As for who the heroine is, it doesn't actually matter.

No, this is not a childish thing.

After all, if you want to be healthy and live longer, make more friends with the opposite sex.

Lu Ping'an still cherishes his life.

We went to school safely the next morning and saw Yan Danchen off to the station.

He also has a Burger King restaurant at the station, and he goes there every day to check it out, so if he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity, it's just a matter of chance.

If you are thicker-skinned, you will be able to eat more in the future. Lu Pingan, who has lived for almost 30 years, knows this truth very well.

. . . . . .

Soon, New Year's Eve arrived.

This year's New Year's Eve will be very lonely for the original owner, but Lu Ping'an is used to it. In his previous life, he spent New Year's Eve alone every year and was used to it.

So these days, the original owner's relatives called him and asked him to come over to celebrate the New Year. Lu Ping'an declined, saying that he planned to travel to celebrate the New Year this year.

The fact has been established, and his relatives can't say anything. They just ask him to visit him after the new year.

This was unavoidable, so Lu Ping'an naturally agreed.

In the morning, I gave red envelopes to the employees of Burger King, and then everyone had New Year’s Eve dinner together. Burger King will not close during the New Year, and business will continue, so Lu Pingping will not be idle.

In the afternoon, he bought food and drinks and was at home alone, waiting for this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Thinking of the "exploding" Spring Festival Gala in this era, the anticipation for a safe road is overwhelming, and the sense of superiority of the time traveler also arises spontaneously.

He still remembered that on New Year's Eve before the time travel, he made an appointment to watch the Spring Festival Gala with his friends, but Xiao Yueyue turned off the TV when he came out.

Xiao Yueyue can't stand it, so why bother watching.

It's different now. This year, there is Zuyin Manyu, Zhaowei Zheng, Ekin Cheng, Coco Lee is currently popular, Feng Gong is still young, and the most important thing is Uncle Benshan's "Selling Kidnapping".

The skits and cross talk are all good, they have no preaching purpose, they are just pure fun.

The audience burst into laughter, and it was definitely not an act.

This is how New Year's Eve should be.

Of course, there are little girls.

"Happy New Year, little brother."

Yan Danchen's text message lit up.

Lu Pingan replied: "Not happy."

"Not happy? Why?"

"Walking in the living room."

"Walking? Why are you walking in the living room?"

"I want to check if I have long or short legs."

"So you're watching the Spring Festival Gala too?"

How many people in China don’t watch the Spring Festival Gala these days?

So Yan Danchen's talk is basically nonsense.

But Lu Ping'an likes nonsense.

Because it’s hard to find a girl who can talk nonsense to you.

"Yes, what a coincidence. It's a yes since our minds are in sync."

"Who wants to have a heart-to-heart with a little brat like you?"

"I'm not little."

"Pooh..."

The two of them chatted like this until the phone calls came in one after another, and it was Zhang Songwen and the others.

"Happy New Year and peace."

A series of New Year's greetings hovered in the air.

The New Year's bells and firecrackers also sounded at the right time.

It’s Chinese New Year!

. . . . . .

After the New Year, relatives called again, asking when he would come to pay New Year greetings.

No need for Lu Ping'an to say, everyone arranged the time.

Probably starting from the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, uncles, sisters-in-law, uncles and the like came back to pay New Year's greetings one by one.

Relatives and friends of this body's blood are usually busy, and we can only get together during the Chinese New Year, so it is difficult to hide.

Lu Ping'an is actually very uncomfortable with this kind of concern.

The original owner was introverted and withdrawn, somewhat indifferent to what was happening outside the window, and not very familiar with relatives and people.

As for Lu Ping'an, he only had New Year's greetings among friends and teachers. He had never had such relatives, and he didn't have the conditions.

But now that he has it, he still feels like he can't fit in. After all, he still thinks that this is not his relationship.

So throughout the first day of the new year, he was thinking about how to pay New Year greetings, whether to pretend to send them to the end, or what to do, which gave him a headache.

Fortunately, on the second day of junior high school, Teacher Hu called and rescued him from his misery.

"Peace, "The Tuner" has been shortlisted for the short film competition!"

Now that I have a safe journey, I don’t need to say New Year greetings because I want to go to Berlin.

On January 28, Lu Pingan and Zhang Songwen landed in Berlin, and Teacher Hu personally picked them up.

"Teacher Hu, thank you for your hard work."

Teacher Hu spent the Chinese New Year in Berlin this time for his short film.

This made Lu Pingping very touched.

But after Teacher Hu explained, he knew that he was moved for nothing.

"The school is subsidized, and my wife is also on business in Berlin. In fact, coming here this time is like traveling at public expense."

Lu Pingan laughed, but still thanked Teacher Hu.

Apart from anything else, at least he was helping me get around Berlin these days.

After getting in the car, Teacher Hu began to popularize the format of this short film.

"I talked with Director Xie Fei. Director Xie Fei is very optimistic about this film, but he said that actually the best place for "The Tuner" is Venice..."

The three major European film festivals have their own artistic purposes for measuring films.

And only one of three entries can be selected. This is an unspoken rule. If everyone participates, they will be laughed at in the world.

Cannes focuses on realistic themes and artistic value, and is usually held in June.

Berlin focuses on war and politics and is usually held in February.

Venice focuses on artistry and personalization and is usually held in August.

Among them, Berlin is relatively the lightest, and Cannes is the heaviest.

At present, in the opinion of director Xie Fei, the best place for the short film "The Tuner" is Venice. Berlin would be a bit biased.

Therefore, it is good news that "The Tuner" was shortlisted for the Berlin Short Film Competition this time. As for whether it will win the award in the end, we can't hold out too much hope.

Of course, we don’t rule out the possibility of actually winning the grand prize, because Xie Fei said it will depend on how the jury interprets it at that time.

The top three in Europe are different from the Oscars. The Oscars are selected by thousands of people. The top three in Europe are only selected by a jury of more than a dozen people. So the public says yes, but it is not necessarily true here. This is why the gold content of the top three in Europe has always been guaranteed. One of the reasons.

It’s just that Xie Fei also said that he will definitely not be able to help at that time, because he is a judge of the main competition unit, and the short film is from other units, and there is another group of judges.

It didn't matter that the road was safe, and Hu Qingquan didn't have much regret.

Because Hu Qingquan said it, he has been shortlisted. This is a success for the Chinese short film, and it is also a very beautiful qualification for Lu Pingan!

If he really wins the Silver Bear or even the Golden Bear short film, that would be great. It would be difficult for Lu Ping An to keep a low profile.

Although the short film Golden Bear is not as good as the feature film Golden Bear, it is still a Golden Bear.

Those who know something about it may not be able to watch it, just like people who work in theaters don’t watch movies that go online, but that’s not necessarily the case for others.

In the current domestic environment, if anyone is involved in an unknown foreign Pheasant Award, many media will blow it, let alone the three major European companies.

So before coming here, Lu Ping'an had actually seen a newspaper report saying that if Beijing Film's short film really won the award, it would break the record of Chinese in the Berlin Short Film Awards. This is definitely big news, even if the short film None of them are the main competition unit.

Lu Ping'an and Hu Qingquan remained sober about this.

Take the best you can, don't take it down.

Because if you are shortlisted, you have completed the task, and the rest is to see how much money you can make.

Short films are the same as feature films. The biggest benefit brought by being shortlisted for awards is the dividend from copyright transactions. The difference is only in the amount.

Hu Qingquan said: "The organizers will help promote the shortlisted films. So far, many film producers have contacted me..."
