China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

At the end of the show, Lu Pingan and Xu Cainv were interviewed together.

It can be seen that the organizer has paid a certain amount of attention to the two newcomers in the film industry.

That’s how awards like this work.

Lu Ping'an also followed the rules and accepted the interview.

During this period, a reporter asked: "Will you two cooperate in the future?"

Lu Ping'an: "Of course you can if you have the chance."

Xu Cainv: "You must find me. I won't accept your polite words."

Xu Cainv is very expressive in front of the camera, making the two of them look very familiar.

Lu Ping'an also managed his expression well without revealing any flaws.

In fact, the relationship between the two seems to be good to the outside world.

She has come to support Lu Ping An's movies before.

Both of them are from the Beijing area, and both grew up and lived in Chaoyang.

So in fact, not many people would believe that the two of them were not familiar with each other.

Lu Ping'an didn't bother to expose this kind of thing. There was no need to provoke others for no reason.

After a brief interview, Lu Ping'an declined Xu Cainv's dinner invitation for a very strong reason: he wanted to discuss things with Han Sanpin.

After getting in the car, Lu Ping'an left Xu Cainnv behind and concentrated on talking to Han Sanpin about the new movie.

The production cost of "Wonderful Night" is estimated to be 10 million to 15 million. If special effects are added, 35 million will definitely be needed.

"That's fifty million." Han Sanpin said directly.

The 50 million big production made Han Sanpin very happy.

He asked again: "When will it be ready?"

"It's very quick to do. I hope I can start it during the summer vacation next year."

"Still looking at Lao Mouzi?"

Tomorrow Lao Mouzi's "House of Flying Daggers" will be officially announced to start filming, and it is expected to be released during the summer vacation next year. Han Sanpin will naturally think that Lu Ping'an is targeting him.

"The market can only be activated by putting blockbusters together."

Lu Ping'an's face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat.

Han Sanpin smiled and said: "This time Lao Mouzi's film is more commercial, you have to be fully prepared."

"Do not worry."

Lu Ping'an smiled confidently.

Xiang Guoqiang's small goal is to contact several distribution companies and theater companies. Before next summer vacation, at least one or two shares can be completed.

With distribution channels in hand, it will be much easier to do things.

Then Han Sanpin asked about the public service announcement: "Are you ready to take it?"

"I'm going to go over tomorrow and have a chat."

After Lu Ping'an answered, he asked, "What's the secret here?"

He realized that Han Sanpin's sudden question about the public service announcement was probably not just a casual conversation.

But Han Sanpin still gave it up. He told Lu Ping'an: "This public service announcement, if you can, do it seriously, it will be beneficial."

"What's the benefit?"

"We'll talk about it tomorrow after we finish talking."

"All right."

Before getting off the bus, the two made an appointment to see each other tomorrow. Lu Pingan got off the bus and returned to the courtyard.

As soon as I sat down, a congratulatory text message clicked.

Apparently the news about the party was posted on the portal.

Among them, Gao Yuanyuan was still on the phone.

Since April, Gao Yuanyuan has been calling every now and then, even when Lu Ping'an is in the United States.

Same thing this time.

After congratulating her on the phone, she asked, "Want to come and visit?"

Gao Yuanyuan fell in love with acting after "Yitian" became popular. She recently joined the cast of "Oath of the Sea", in which the teenage male protagonist was played by Zhang Ruoyun.

"I'm not going, I'm busy."

Lu Pingping refused directly.

I, the great director, want to visit the class?

Gao Yuanyuan was not surprised at all, and then said, "I'll come find you in a few days."

"Zhang Dacai will be jealous!"

"Oh, didn't I tell you a long time ago that I have nothing to do with him."

"Ah, yes, yes."

This conversation has actually been happening since July.

Gao Yuanyuan said she was single, but Lu Pingan didn't believe it. The other party explained, continued not to believe it, and then repeated it over and over again.

Do you really believe that the road is safe?

Believe it or not, he doesn't have time to care about this at this stage. He is busy, so he can just have a sexy chat on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Danchen urged: "Take a shower!"

"Coming~"

Lu Pingping came to CCTV on time the next day.

The relevant leaders of CCTV were responsible for the interview, and Director Jiang also came at the same time. This person was not from CCTV. He said he would come and have a look, but he didn't say where he was, and CCTV didn't introduce him.

Lu Ping'an guessed that this was probably what Han Sanpin was talking about.

Then the director of CCTV praised Lu Pingan's achievements in short films.

After chatting for a few words, we got to the point.

"The themes of the public service announcements we planned this year are similar to those in previous years, focusing on children, women, the elderly, family relationships, environmental protection, and promoting civilized quality, etc."

Director Wang said a lot.

This form is completely different from ordinary advertising bidding.

Different status and achievements will naturally lead to different treatment methods.

So the other party doesn't see whether you can do it, but what you are willing to do. If you do it, it will be broadcast.

Because "the works of short film Grand Slam directors" have a great publicity effect, this is the most beneficial for public service advertisements.

If the work is really bad, that’s okay. CCTV can provide creative ideas and you can shoot it, and you can also successfully complete the publicity task.

Of course, the themes that should be included still need to be limited, because many themes currently have good plans.

So after the introduction, Director Wang asked:

"Director Xiaolu, do whatever you are good at. Just submit the plan before November. If possible, focus on the two themes of caring for the elderly and women."

Lu Ping'an said directly: "It doesn't have to be November, I can give it now."

Director Wang and others were slightly surprised when they heard this, but they quickly realized that Lu Ping'an was probably ready.

This is good. At least being prepared means taking it seriously.

As a result, Lu Ping'an said again: "Give me paper and pen, I'll write now."

After hearing this, everyone was slightly surprised, but they also quickly expressed their understanding, perhaps because they were in a hurry.

After a while, the pen and paper were in place, and Lu Pingan wrote down the script.

He had seen too many CCTV public service announcements in his previous life.

As an art student, I first majored in visual communication, which is about graphic design, and later changed my major to environmental art design, which is about interior decoration.

During his freshman year, he saw a lot of advertising projects.

Of course, even if you haven’t studied it, I believe most people have seen those super classic advertisements from CCTV.

For example, "Mom Washes Feet", this commercial shot in 1999 has been accompanied by countless post-90s generations.

There are also advertisements about caring for the elderly such as "You are busy, you are all busy, it is better to be busy" and the public ethics advertisement about "Kicking cans on the subway", which are both super classics.

But you can’t copy these, because they have already been released this year.

So if you want to copy it, just copy the later big tear gas bomb: "Pack Up"

After finishing writing the script, Lu Pingan handed it to Director Wang.

Director Wang's expression was filled with anticipation. After taking a quick glance, his eyelids immediately lifted a lot.

Then look carefully.

This is an ad about Alzheimer's disease.

The old father is getting older, suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and his memory is getting worse and worse. He can't even remember his son.

This caused a lot of trouble for my son.

Once while eating in a restaurant, the old father saw the last two dumplings on the plate, so he picked them up and stuffed them into his pocket.

This made my son unable to get off stage immediately.

As a result, the old father said: This is reserved for my son. My son loves this most.

Director Wang felt like his heart was scratched after reading it.

He suppressed his emotions and handed the script to Director Jiang next to him. Then, Director Jiang read it and handed it to the next one.

For a while, the office became quiet.

A group of men in their forties and fifties, silent.

It wasn't until the last person finished watching that Director Wang nodded and said with emotion: "You are worthy of being the first person in the short film, Director Lu, I admire you!"

Lu Ping'an smiled and replied: "This should be enough, right?"

Director Wang asked: "Do you have any other ideas?"

"Then it's about caring for women. Mothers are women too, so that's no problem."

Lu Ping'an smiled and continued painting.

This time, it's about mother: "What is Love"

Soon, several shots were drawn.

Director Wang and others have also witnessed the entire painting process.

In the script, it is the transformation process of a mother and her son from young to old.

Accompanied by the text "What is love."

Son's childhood: Love is as long as you are happy.

When my son was a teenager: Love is to accompany you for a lifetime.

When my son grows up: Love is the passage of youth without regrets, and your high flying is my comfort.

The son got married and left his mother: love is waiting.

After four simple stages, accompanied by text and split-shot images, a group of grown men in the office fell silent again.

A few seconds later, Director Wang sighed again: "Director Lu is a great talent, I think these two can be used."

Of course it works, this is what your family produces.

Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "Then decide on these two?"

"Can."

Director Wang smiled and clapped.

At this time, Director Jiang on the side asked: "Did Director Lu come up with these two ideas on the spur of the moment?"

When Director Jiang asked, Director Wang and others reacted.

This is fine for one script, but two scripts were written on the spur of the moment and focused on the themes mentioned, which is a bit unusual.

However, Lu Ping'an expressed modesty: "No, no, I had this idea before. I knew it was going to be a public service announcement, so I perfected it. I didn't expect such a coincidence that the script landed at home, and you just happened to mention these two themes."

In fact, Lu Ping'an wanted to pretend to be big, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided not to do it.

If he were to think about something else, it would be really difficult.

So it's better to be humble.

But he wants to be modest, but some people don't think so.

Director Jiang looked at Lu Pingan with a smile on his face, his eyes full of appreciation.

But now he didn't say anything.

Lu Pingping didn't notice either.

After a while, the matter was settled and the two public service announcements were confirmed.

The filming of "Lu Ping An" will be completed in the next week, and the broadcast will be during the Spring Festival.

The remuneration is 10,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan a piece, Yang Ma gave it to me, so I have to accept it.

Afterwards, Lu Ping'an, Director Wang and others had a meal in Yangma's cafeteria, and saw the still green Sa Beining from a distance.

Without saying hello, Lu Pingan went to Han Sanpin's place after eating.

When they arrived at the place, Han Sanpin asked, "Is your surname Jiang?"

"Yes, who is this person from?"

Han Sanpin smiled and said: "From the Olympic Organizing Committee."

"...No way?"

Lu Ping'an asked, "Is it possible that you really like me?"

Han Sanpin then smiled and said: "You are already the first person in the short film, so of course I will take you into consideration."

Lu Ping'an suddenly felt numb. He had thought about this possibility.

But actually thinking about it carefully, if 08 let him go, he would be willing to do it no matter how difficult it is, but 04?

Even if Athens really gave him 8 minutes to do it, he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Firstly, he didn’t have any ideas to learn from, and secondly, even if he did, he didn’t have the experience to organize it. If he copied Lao Mouzi, he would have organized it, but Athens would be scolded for 8 minutes.

Lao Mouzi was scolded for four years after he was in Athens. It was not until the 2008 Olympics that he was completely cleansed and became a national master in one fell swoop.

If Lu Ping An comes, will he be so lucky?

If 08 is also given to him, then 04 will be scolded.

But is 08 possible?

Even if he copied Lao Mouzi's ideas, he would not be qualified to be successfully elected.

Movies and this kind of event are completely different concepts.

Unless you have a lot of awards, are strong enough, and have huge box office results, and there is no other suitable candidate except you in the country, you can really be elected.

So regarding 08, Lu Ping An has never thought about it at all.

08 is impossible now, but Athens gave you the opportunity to take the blame?

In this way, you may have to bear this infamy for the rest of your life!

"I'm not ready, I don't have the ability, I won't go!"

Lu Pingan shook his head directly.

Han Sanpin was curious: "No one else can ask for this kind of opportunity. Things haven't been decided yet. Why are you giving up?"

Lu Ping'an said helplessly: "It's because the matter is extremely important, so I'm cautious. It's not that I'm giving up. If I run for 08 chief director in a few years, I'll definitely have no problem, but I'm only 21 years old now, and I have no time to join the industry." How can I convince the public in a few years?"

Han Sanpin laughed after hearing this: "You are somewhat self-aware."

After finishing speaking, he took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry, this time it's just an inspection and inspection. There will be a meeting then, but it won't be your turn in the end, but you will have the opportunity to participate in other parties and the like."

This sounded quite depressing, but Lu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, just don't let him take the blame. As for other parties, I'm not interested.

Han Sanpin continued: "Don't be dissatisfied. As you said yourself, you are young, have little experience, and no one else would dare to entrust you with such a task."

"It's okay if you don't say it. But when you say that, I'm really not convinced."

Lu Ping'an smiled and joked.

"It's okay if you're not convinced. If you're not convinced, then make good movies in the past few years and increase the box office of awards. Maybe there will be a real campaign for the 2008 Olympics. It will take a few lifetimes to honor our ancestors. You must seize the opportunity if you have it!" "

I have to say that Han Sanpin's prediction was indeed right.

But this matter sounds a bit suspicious no matter how you hear it.

Doesn't Han Sanpin know that even if he runs for election, he still can't get out of the unofficial appointment?

So his goal is still movies.

Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "Uncle Han, don't worry, I can make box office movies, and I won't be left behind in award-winning movies."

Han Sanpin smiled and pointed to a safe road, then poured tea.

The topic of the Olympics ended here. The two chatted again, drank two pots of tea, and left safely.

On the way, he received a call from Watts: "Someone really recommended himself."

"who?"

"Memento director, Christopher Nolan."

Nolan still came to the door.

"We can talk. Let him come to China."

After hanging up the phone, Watts called again and Nolan said he could come over.

It seems like this guy is destined to win.

Lu Ping'an was very satisfied.

So he immediately started transcribing the script.

Nolan, I must be the one to fly!
