China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

After lunch, everyone chatted for a while and then left.

Lu Ping'an also went out, drove the A6 to Hu Qingquan's house, and took him to the airport.

When they arrived at Hu Qingquan's house, Hu Qingquan had already packed his luggage and was watching TV waiting for Lu Ping'an to arrive.

As soon as Lu Ping'an arrived, Hu Qingquan said: "Just in time, come on, your commercial is on."

Hu Qingquan pulled Lu Pingan and sat down on the sofa. Lu Pingan happened to see "Packaging" being broadcast on the TV.

He almost forgot about the public service announcement.

I just remembered it now when I saw it.

"This is a great idea. I think people will remember this ad for a long time to come."

Hu Qingquan couldn't help but sigh.

"It's good to remember it. There's no point in forgetting the public service announcement once you've seen it."

"You're right."

Hu Qingquan looked at Lu Ping'an and said, "Ping'an."

"ah?"

Hu Qingquan solemnly said: "I will try to make a movie next time that people will remember for decades!"

"good."

Lu Pingan nodded.

He didn't know whether the high-scoring films he would shoot in the future would count, but at least they would be right if they were made. If he didn't make them, he would never remember them.

It looks like I’ll have to try an art film for my next film.

"Let's go, it's time to set off."

Hu Qingquan turned off the TV and patted Lu Ping'an on the shoulder to signal for departure.

After getting in the car, the two communicated about the project again.

"So the top priority now is to sign a contract with the actors first, right?"

"Yes, it will be more troublesome if the actors have to be replaced. Other problems are not big and can be solved seamlessly."

"It's the setting."

"The plan is to start in a few days. You can organize it first and control the rhythm."

"Okay, what about the funds?"

Chatting all the way to the airport, Hu Qingquan flew to the United States after a while.

After Hu Qingquan passes, he will hand over to Xiang Guoqiang for a few days. After that, Xiang Guoqiang will be free to continue to focus on domestic and foreign theaters and other chores.

With these two people, Lu Pingping would be much more relaxed.

After seeing Hu Qingquan off and returning to the company, Lu Pingan continued to inspect the current project progress.

Currently, we are mainly in the post-production stage of "Wonderful Night", and the post-production period is mainly focused on special effects and editing.

In the evening, Lu Pingan came to the private kitchen, and friends were already arriving one after another.

A regular gathering, nothing special, everyone interacts with each other.

After dinner, Lu Ping'an and Yan Danchen went home and continued to enjoy each other.

At noon the next day, Jay Chou and Edison Xi came to his house as agreed.

No need to introduce each other, we all know each other.

Lu Ping'an played "Initial D", and both young people were very interested.

It's impossible not to be interested. It's an interesting script, it can drive a car, and there's a great director, and he's also a friend, so there's no way he wouldn't take it.

"Jay will play Takumi, and Edison will play Ryosuke Takahashi. One is dull and green, and the other is responsible and handsome. Is that okay?"

Lu Pingan asked.

Guanxi didn't want it, he didn't like being cheated on, and it was the same in the movie.

Although Jay doesn’t really like being cheated on, he is the protagonist and can race a car, so he feels very cool~

"No problem."×2

The matter is settled, the next step is to schedule, Lu Ping'an said: "The second half of the year, I have a lot of things to do in the first half of the year, it just so happens that you can practice driving in this half of the year, and Jay, you can also compose songs, take a month or two in the second half of the year to shoot , will be released next year.”

Guan Xi spread his hands and said with a cool look on his face: "I don't need to practice drifting."

Jaylen didn't show any weakness: "Me too."

Lu Ping'an also followed suit: "I still have to practice."

"You also practice?"×2

Lu Ping'an pointed to a certain character on the last page of the script and said, "Yes, Mercedes-Benz and I have a sworn hatred, so Xia Shu's uncle must be me."

Jaylen was stunned and came up to strangle someone.

Guan Xi burst into laughter.

After chatting and eating, Lu Ping'an said goodbye to the two of them, went home, picked up the prepared plan materials, and arrived at the meeting site designated by the Olympic Organizing Committee half an hour early.

But I didn't expect that when I arrived, I found that there were already many people there, including Lao Mouzi.

When two people meet, it's definitely not possible to pretend that they don't know each other.

"Director Zhang, it's so early."

"Director Lu, long time no see."

Lao Mouzi smiled, very humble, but still taciturn.

It seems that apart from movies and art, he has no interest in anything else.

After a brief chat, Lu Pingan was thinking about how to end the chat when the great poet came.

"Lao Mouzi came so early, is Ping An also here?"

The great poet looked at his face full of red light and felt very high-spirited.

Lao Mouzi smiled and nodded: "Here we come."

Lu Pingan also greeted politely: "Director Chen."

The great poet nodded, and then asked: "Hollywood is different from the mainland, right?"

The great poet's tone when asking questions was relatively ordinary. At least Lu Ping'an didn't hear any dissatisfaction or ridicule.

Lu Pingan nodded: "Yes, there are too many differences."

This is the truth, and the great poet also responded on the spot: "Chinese directors are not easy to get along with in Hollywood. You are really lucky to be able to make achievements."

"Yeah yeah."

"What about you, Lao Mouzi? "House of Flying Daggers" hasn't been finished yet, has it?"

"No, but it will be soon."

"The action is very fast. It will be released next year."

"Roughly the same."

"Where's your movie, Ping An?"

"It's still in the post-production stage and will be released next year."

"That's good. If you two work together, you can compete for the box office again."

The great poet clasped his hands behind his back, looking a little strange.

Lu Pingan heard that he was not targeting himself, but Lao Mouzi.

Otherwise, why are you talking about Hollywood and competing for box office in front of Lao Mouzi?

I really don’t know what happened to the great poet today.

Then Han Sanpin came, and Lu Pingping left this embarrassing situation.

The great poet also went away to chat with others, leaving Lao Mouzi alone in deep thought.

Then Han Sanpin introduced the directors to Lu Pingan.

"This is Director Meng, and the 1998 Spring Festival Gala was her work."

"This is Director Li, from the National Theater"

"No introduction is needed, Tian Zhuangzhuang."

After introductions along the way, Lu Ping'an found that there were not many people coming today, only about 20, but they were all famous and highly qualified.

He is really the only young director from the fifth generation like Lu Ping'an.

After a while, Director Jiang, who I had met before, came and quickly greeted everyone to enter.

Entering the large conference room, a group of seven or eight people came in soon.

After Director Jiang introduced them, it turned out that these were all big shots.

From the publicity department, from the Olympic Organizing Committee, from a certain bureau, etc., there are many departments, and the posture is very big.

This also made the directors present have a correct attitude.

Then let’s get down to business.

Chairman Liu of the Olympic Organizing Committee spoke.

The theme is very simple. The Athens Olympics BJ will take eight minutes to select a candidate. Let’s listen to your creativity and ideas. Everyone can express their opinions.

It didn’t say it was a campaign, and it didn’t promise anything, just listen.

According to common sense, everyone should actually know that this will be decided by default, and they will just go through the motions.

But I didn't expect that everyone's enthusiasm exceeded Lu Ping'an's imagination.

"I think in 8 minutes, we should mainly highlight an international aspect"

The great poet spoke first, and Balabala spoke for five or six minutes, matching the picture book in his hand. He was obviously well prepared.

Everyone applauded, and then another director said: "I think we can do this."

It took several more minutes without jamming.

Then one by one, although many of the creative ideas given were similar, they were all smooth.

It seems like everyone is here to run for office.

Some of the ideas even sound very eye-catching.

This made Lu Ping'an feel relieved, and he felt that his worries were unnecessary.

There are many talented people, who is he?

It was Lao Mouzi's turn, and Lu Pingan found that what he said was very different from next year's plan. The plan was good, but it didn't sound particularly outstanding.

However, Lu Ping'an felt even more that Athens was really cheating. No matter how bad these ideas were, they were still much better than the actual ones.

After a few more, it was finally the turn of the youngest Lu Pingan. Lu Pingan also took out a picture book, and then directly started to introduce some ideas from the 2008 Olympics and the 2022 Eastern Olympics.

Before the meeting, Chairman Liu talked about the required venues for 8 minutes.

The idea of ​​the 2008 Olympics is suitable for big scenes, but it certainly won't work for 8 minutes in Athens.

Lu Ping'an didn't care, he wasn't here to run, he was just here to be eliminated, so the ideas that were good but obviously not adopted were the best ones.

In addition, he is young, making mistakes is not a big problem.

This is young capital.

"We can use four major inventions, such as movable type printing. We use large squares one by one and combine them with human power."

Kaka talked for 5 minutes, full of passion. He was not the most active person here, and he was definitely not the last person.

"very good."

Chairman Liu Qi applauded.

At this time, about more than an hour had passed.

The leaders began to summarize.

It’s not wrong to say that one is good or the other is good. When it comes to Lu Ping An, he also smiled and joked: “Comrade Xiaolu’s plan can be used in 2008.”

Everyone laughed and didn't take it seriously.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone for coming despite their busy schedules, and then the meeting will be dismissed.

When everyone went out, Han Sanpin asked: "Did you see any clues?"

Lu Ping'an looked back at the directors behind him, and then replied in a low voice: "Why don't I feel like it's been decided by default? Everyone seems to be very positive, and it feels like it's a bit over the top. Does this count?"

"Of course it counts."

Han Sanpin said with a smile, "Everyone knows that we have to make an informal decision, and we all know who is basically going to be appointed. But in the end, so many people came to the meeting. Naturally, we thought that we were going to pose a problem to the superiors."

The road was safe and speechless.

It turns out they are all movie stars!

But it doesn't matter. If the higher-ups give up the default decision and switch to screening, judging from the plan, his plan is not the best, let alone the most applicable.

Very safe!

So let them fight.
