China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

"There is a plan. I'm going to make a movie, and someone has to keep an eye on it. But now that you've been promoted, I'm afraid you won't have time."

"If it's a domestic movie, I really can't get away with it, but Hollywood movies are fine,"

"Sure?"

"Of course, you can go to Hollywood in the name of exchange and study, just to relax. Only a devil is willing to do this whole school thing."

"That means you don't want to do it, right?"

The two laughed.

Hu Qingquan then asked: "But your new horror movie doesn't seem to need me, right?"

Lu Ping'an shook his head and said, "No, it's another movie, and it will cost 100 million."

"One hundred million means about US$12 million. Yes, this is relatively stable."

Hu Qingquan nodded in approval.

The cost is not high, the pressure is low, and this time it can still be considered a vacation.

As a result, Lu Ping'an corrected him: "It's 100 million U.S. dollars."

"What did you say, one hundred million US dollars?!"

"right."

"Okay, I've received a big project."

Lao Hu was very happy. Lu Ping'an received a large-scale production project in Hollywood. If it succeeds, it will be a huge improvement in the director's qualifications. This is indeed worthy of happiness, so he immediately asked, "What movie has potential?"

"Batman."

"Bat...Batman?!"

Hu Qingquan's eyes widened.

He naturally knows what the Batman IP means in the United States.

So he immediately asked: "Did you really win the directorship of the Batman movie?"

Lu Pingan continued to correct: "To be precise, I won the IP and I will spend the money to make a trilogy."

This time it was Hu Qingquan's turn to "...".

More than an hour later, Hu Qingquan finally understood everything and read the script and plan of Lu Ping'an's trilogy.

Lu Ping'an didn't hide anything. Since he wanted him to be a producer and help handle all the details of the project, there were some things that couldn't be hidden.

Hu Qingquan's face was full of worry: "It's such a big thing, such a huge cost, and you're just saying it now. If something goes wrong, you'll be totally devastated. Do you know?"

Hu Qingquan didn't ask in detail where the money came from. He just felt that Lu Ping'an was too conceited.

"Lao Hu, don't get excited, I'm sure of it."

"If you are sure, why don't you come to me?"

"With you, I am more confident."

"You boy!"

Hu Qingquan stood up directly and started stuffing things into his handbag. At the same time, he said to Lu Ping'an, "Put money into my card and I'll go tomorrow."

"okay!"

Help Hu Qingquan take him home. Hu Qingquan needs to sort out his clothes and leave tomorrow.

Lu Pingan was taught a lesson about being "too radical", "too reckless", "taking too big a step" and "expanding ambition too fast" along the way.

But Hu Qingquan's lesson was a lesson, and he was still more attentive than him.

Just as Hu Qingquan worried, with so much money, if he failed, it would be a disaster.

More than one billion US dollars, more than one billion RMB.

How long will it take to earn it back?

Seeing how anxious the little old man was, Lu Pingan couldn't bear it, but at the same time, he felt warm in his heart.

This is because I really care about you.

So just be scolded when you are scolded, there is always a first time.

You can get used to it when you start a big project next time.

After leaving Hu Qingquan's house, Lu Pingping returned to Xingchen Company.

After leaving the company for a long time, the company is running smoothly, but there are still many things that need to be decided by him.

First of all, it’s about the art team.

The "Kung Fu Panda" crew from the Bashu region has now moved to the capital.

This also made the office space of Xingchen Film and Television a lot larger, from 600 square meters to 1,200 square meters, almost a whole floor.

It will be expanded in the future, and the demand for offices will then increase.

Fortunately, Uncle Liao's land auction has also made progress. The office building in the capital will be auctioned next month. It is a small place, 7,000 square meters, and can be acquired for less than 100 million.

When the time comes, a twenty- to thirty-story office building will be built, which will be enough.

As a result, shopping malls may be difficult to operate, but cinemas can still do it.

The current work progress of "Kung Fu Panda" has begun to create character images. It is expected that all the characters will be completed in about half a year, and plot development will begin.

The overall estimate is that it will be completed around mid-2005.

The castrated version of the "X" software is still very powerful, and Lu Ping An is very satisfied.

The post-production of "Wonderful Night" is also progressing steadily. In terms of special effects, Lu Pingan also asked the special effects team to use a castrated version of "X" for the first time to try to create simple special effects in the film.

Just treat it as practice.

If it’s done well, adopt it.

If it doesn't work well, just do it again yourself and then overwrite it.

Speaking of the later stage, Lu Pingan called Milk Tea Zhou: "Jaylen, is the song ready?"

The person on the other side said helplessly: "Wenshan is still brewing."

Well, Wenshan is still Wenshan.

Lu Ping'an is not in a hurry at all, because "Wonderful Night" is planned to be released in the summer vacation next year, which is still more than half a year away. If he really wants to start working at full strength, it can be completed in a month, so he can take his time now.

"Let's eat together later."

"No problem, I will come to Beijing to shoot a commercial the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, then the day after tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Pingan confirmed that the copyright of "Initial D" had been purchased.

Just in time, we can chat then.

So he called Guan Xi again: "Guan Xi, the sky is clear tomorrow. Come to the capital and talk about movies."

Guan Xi agreed directly.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Pingping went to Han Sanpin's place.

I stopped by a fried chicken restaurant on the way.

Li Chenggong was now as busy as a dog. When he saw Lu Pingan coming over, he took out the report with a red face:

"Boss, we now have 41 branches and currently have 21 million in available cash."

Lu Ping'an looked surprised: "So fast, wasn't there only 12 when I mentioned it last time?"

"There are investors and new stores. We have 30 of our own stores. This is still a conservative expansion. If we let go, we can have more than 200 stores next summer. Our fried chicken has a unique taste and is very popular." It is competitive, and in terms of beverages, I have also created six new flavors, one of which is very popular and can be used as a sign in the future."

"Let's expand at the current pace. It can be a little faster. I'll eat fried chicken tonight and you make the arrangements. I want to taste your drink myself."

"No problem, you'll love it."

"Okay, also, you must pay attention to hygiene. Food additives are useless, such as Sudan red and so on. You must pay attention to this!"

"There's no problem with these, I've been looking at them, but there's something wrong with the store name."

"what is the problem?"

"Burger King of the United States is about to enter the country. We have some troubles with the Chinese name. The other party made plans in 2000 and may have to litigate in the future."

"Can I change my name?"

"That's okay, but there's nothing suitable."

Lu Ping'an thought for a while and asked, "Burger King, is that okay?"

When Li Chenggong heard this, he was happy on the spot: "I think it's okay."

"That's it."

Happy to have a safe road.

A king, an emperor, who is bigger?

Li Chenggong then took out a large poster: "According to your instructions, the advertising contract was signed for 1.5 million per year for 4 years. They will not accept any more."

Lu Ping'an looked at the trapeze artist hurdling on the poster and was very satisfied.

Four years is enough. In 2008, Feiren was scolded. Although Lu Ping An supported Feiren, business is business, not to mention that they were still unwilling to sign, so that was just fine.

But Li Chenggong was a little confused: "Boss, this person is actually not worth that much money."

"You don't understand. I know Yao Ming. Through his introduction, I have eaten with this coach and know his real data. If this guy performs normally, he will be in the top three in Athens next year and the yellow man will be in the 110-meter hurdles." Do you know what the top three are?"

Lu Ping An turns on the cheating mode.

After hearing this, Li Chenggong couldn't help but widen his eyes. He knew what Lu Ping'an was talking about.

This was a shock to the flying people, and also a shock to the boss's connections.

Lu Ping'an sighed: "The next step is to see how lucky he is."

Li Chenggong answered excitedly: "If we win the gold medal, our four-year contract can be resold several times."

“No resale!”

Lu Pingan put down the Flyer poster, turned to look at the map of China in the office and said, "We just want to become bigger and stronger!"

Li Chenggong also looked at the map and nodded fiercely.

After coming out of Li Chenggong's place, Lu Pingan replied to the women one by one.

Yan Danchen will be back in the evening, and a safe journey belongs to her tonight.

Tomorrow night Liu Qianqian will come over for dinner, and more than ten people in total, including Bao Qiang, Zhang Songwen, Zhou Yiwei, Zhu Yawen and Mr. Zhou, will also come.

Let’s eat Zeng Li’s cake the day after tomorrow.

These days, he and Zeng have been exchanging text messages from time to time. Their relationship has not heated up, but it has not dropped much either.

However, Lu Ping'an also noticed that Zeng Li seemed to be a little worried about this matter.

Lu Pingan decided to work hard. If it didn't work, he would simply give up.

Forget Gao Yuanyuan's words, she is still greedy for herself, so the game must continue.

After replying one by one, Lu Pingping came to China Film.

When I met Han Sanpin, I drank tea first and then talked about things.

After a while, Lu Pingan asked about the Olympic Organizing Committee meeting.

Han Sanpin just mentioned: "This meeting is probably to listen to ideas and suggestions, etc. It may be a secret screening. Now you have officially entered their eyes. If the idea you propose is good, there may be real success in the future." "

Lu Ping'an wanted to say, but actually he really didn't want to show his face.

But if he expressed this idea, he would probably be scolded to death.

Are you unwilling to go even to the Olympic directors?

Are you stupid!

But who would have thought that 8 minutes this time would be a trap?

Because of this, he actually just wanted to go through this meeting, lie down and float by, and it was best not to attract attention.

So you want to be creative?

forget it.

Han Sanpin continued: "But in the end, it's them who have the final say whether to choose you or not, so don't have too much hope."

Well, I really didn’t have any hope.

Han Sanpin added at this time, "But there is one thing you still have to do, that is, you must have a positive attitude. This is a national event, not a trivial matter. When the time comes, don't act like you think you can't be chosen anyway. Vice negative attitude.”

"of course not."

Lu Ping'an naturally understands this truth.

How can national affairs be trivial?

You have to be active.

I called you, but you actually treated me negatively. Do you want to die?

"I don't know much about the Olympics. That's all I know. I can't help you much. You should pay attention to it when the time comes. We can discuss it after the meeting."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Han."

"Well, let's talk about movies next. What's the plan for your new low-budget film?"

This is from yesterday and will continue tonight
