China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

After leaving the door, the company car arrived.

"Are the teachers together? I'll see you off."

Lu Pingan asked.

The other two waved their hands: "Go ahead, we have someone to pick you up."

Tian Zhuangzhuang said, "I'll take your car."

So Lu Pingan and Tian Zhuangzhuang got in the car together.

Tian Zhuangzhuang comforted Lu Pingan again in the car: "Don't be familiar with him. Everyone knows that he is petty, so there is no need to worry about him."

"Okay, Teacher Tian."

Lu Pingan did not confess the fact that he didn't care at all.

At this time, you have to act. If you don't act, how will people know that the two of them have conflicts?

Continuing the conversation, Tian Zhuangzhuang said: "Don't be impatient. In the future, it is only right to make good works and let your strength speak for itself."

"I know."

"You will finish your undergraduate degree next year, right?"

"right."

"What are you planning to film for your graduation scene?"

"No one has ever told me."

Lu Ping'an really didn't know about this.

Tian Zhuangzhuang said: "Whether there is a mission or not, I think you should take a photo if you have an idea."

"You mean literary films?"

"Yes, commercial films can make money, but as a director, you still have to make achievements in literary and artistic films. It doesn't matter whether you win awards or not. The important thing is to train yourself through polishing the films."

Tian Zhuangzhuang talked about a lot of advantages of making literary films.

Literary films are different from commercial films. One is about making products, and many things are stereotyped and routine.

In literary and artistic films, the director polishes the actors, and the actors polish the director. Everyone strives to make the movie with a consistent and unique taste under the same channel.

For actors, making literary films can greatly improve their acting skills, and for directors, it can also greatly improve their various abilities.

In fact, Hu Qingquan had told him all this.

Lu Ping'an himself also understands this truth.

Speaking of which, he has not made a literary film so far.

He had a similar plan before, but not now, because he didn't have time now.

Tian Zhuangzhuang continued: "I have seen all the films you have made. They are all very good, with rigorous story logic and great imagination. However, they are all biased by screenwriters and lack some artistry. I am not saying that I don't like them, but I think they are good. This part of you hasn’t been explored yet, and commercial films don’t necessarily need artistry, but what if it has both art and business?”

This is true.

Lu Ping'an nodded

Tian Zhuangzhuang continued: "The problem we are facing now is how to choose between commercial and artistic films. I think the best way is not to choose, but it is difficult. It depends on talent and ability. There are very few people who have both. But you can try it safely."

This is extremely high praise.

Lu Ping'an couldn't bear it.

Before he could think of what to say, Tian Zhuangzhuang asked, "You want to be admitted to graduate school. Have you chosen a graduate supervisor?"

"...Isn't it so early?"

"You have to think about it sooner."

Tian Zhuangzhuang directly showed his cards, "I know if no one told you, you would definitely choose Hu Qingquan, but I suggest that if you want to try literary films in the future, then come to me. Hu still has little practical experience."

Lu Ping'an's postgraduate studies are certain, and he is also happy to have a graduate degree.

When the time comes to choose a mentor, Tian Zhuangzhuang did not say, he will indeed choose Hu Qingquan.

But strictly speaking, Hu Qingquan is actually more suitable for doing things. If he is a little ambitious, it is perfectly fine to be a manager in the company.

Needless to say, Tian Zhuangzhuang is an artist among fifth-generation directors.

At present, Lu Ping'an has decided to make several literary films that will involve adaptations. With him, the adaptation and filming control of many literary films will be much easier.

But that doesn’t mean that if you don’t choose him as your mentor, you won’t be able to get help from him.

So Lu Ping'an didn't think much about it. He decided to just tell Lao Hu about it and let him take care of it.

"I'll think about it carefully."

"Okay, let's get in touch later."

Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't say much on this issue and turned to other topics.

Under the influence of alcohol, topics flew around.

Arriving at the place soon, Lu Ping An saw him off the bus, said goodbye and went home safely.

Zeng couldn't leave there, she just sent a text message.

Still because of the heavy snow, she said that the heater in Zhang Tong's house exploded and she would stay with her tonight.

Lu Pingan replied: "Zhang Tong will be blacklisted by me from now on!"

Zeng Li replied: "She regards you as her idol. She was just talking about whether you would have an audition for your next movie."

“It’s okay not to be blacklisted, but next time it can’t just be cake.”

Looking at the text message, Zeng Li smiled unconsciously.

Zhang Tong, who had just taken a shower and put on a facial mask, saw this, and his Bagua soul burned instantly.

"Pear, something's wrong with you!"

"Have it?"

Zeng Li put down his phone calmly, with a puzzled look on his face.

"You just laughed and said, are you in love?"

"No way."

"You still want to hide it from me, give me your phone."

"I took a shower."

"Wow you are really in love!"

Zhang Tong took off the mask and said, "Tell me, who is the lucky guy?"

"Okay, it's nothing."

"Stop, I won't confess to tickling you again."

"Don't make trouble, it's my cell phone"

The little fight ended with the phone being broken and the pause button pressed.

Zhang Tong comforted him very embarrassedly.

Zeng Li said he was fine on the surface, but actually he was a little anxious.

It has been more than a month, and Lu Pingan has never lost contact with her. The hazy feeling has remained until now. Lu Pingan, who is very patient, has indeed made him very fond of her. Both parties also know that the distance between them is actually just one step away. Timing issue.

Now it’s better, my phone is broken, I can’t reply to text messages, and it’s hard to use other people’s phones. I don’t know what to think about the road safety.

Lu Ping'an didn't have much idea.

Hu Qingquan called shortly after he and Zengli sent text messages.

"Berlin invited you to be a judge, and the call came to me."

"Judge, no, am I qualified?"

"It's not a feature film review in the main competition, it's just a short film review. If you're not qualified, who is?"

Hu Qingquan explained.

In fact, the judges of the three major European film festivals do not require any special qualifications.

In many cases, the organizing committee gives out the list and then lets people vote.

Everyone will choose whoever they think is good, and then select the number of people needed for the film festival based on the overall score.

Among them, the most important factor is the list given by the organizing committee.

Generally, those who can be included in the list are those who have won awards and appeared in the film festival, or are the most famous in the global film industry.

When it comes to Lu Ping'an, both of them are consistent, so he becomes a character on the list, and his basic score is very high.

After a final vote, he became one.

In other words, this is recognized by the international film community, but it is a pity that it is only a short film.

Of course, this also depends on Lu Ping'an's availability. If not, it will be postponed.

"Being a judge, and it's a short film judge, is actually not of much use to you, but if you want to continue competing in Berlin in the future, you can go there. It will be used to increase your experience."

"Then I'll think about it."

"Just decide before February, don't worry too much."

"Okay, by the way, how is the situation here?"

"Currently, the crew is operating normally. Most of the work was basically completed before the year, and there is no movement from Warner Bros."
