China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

After Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei arrived, Lu Ping'an's Beverly Hills villa became more lively.

They were not much different in age from Kou Zhanwen, Wu Jing and others, and they all had one thing in common, that is, they were single, so they quickly got together.

Lu Ping An's "safety circle" has also expanded invisibly.

The filming for the next two days went very smoothly, and the scenes of "Batman" in the United States were successfully completed.

In two days, everyone will set off to shoot in the Himalayas of China.

The protagonist Bell and "Leshogu" Liam Neeson seemed very excited to go to Tibet.

They have not only longed for Tibet for a long time, but they are also very yearning and curious about the ancient and mysterious country of martial arts.

Lu Ping An also announced that the crew will have a three-day holiday after arriving in China for everyone to have fun.

This was not a decision he made by himself, but after consultation with China Film.

When "Batman" is filmed in China, it must be well publicized.

Bale is not particularly famous, but Liam Neeson is very famous in China. After all, he is the protagonist of "Schindler's List".

Therefore, all the itineraries of the crew have been arranged after arriving in China.

It can take care of both business and travel.

In short, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses and other places they want to visit can definitely be visited.

But Lu Pingping had important things to do in those days, so it was impossible to go together.

Jiang Wen was happy to help lead the group. He was very interested in the advanced Hollywood technology that Liam Neeson and Lu Ping'an had told him these days.

Therefore, Jiang Wen will also accompany the crew when Batman is filming in China, so he can get to know him in advance this time.

Lu Ping'an was not worried that Jiang Wen would interfere with the crew. He was only worried that he would give Bale and Liam Neeson a Chinese quintessence output.

Lu Pingping expressed his expectation.

The day before departure, the North American box office of "Dead Silence" in the first three days was released. It was not bad, 4.6 million US dollars. Recovering the money was no longer a problem. The media predicted that the North American box office would be about 20 million.

After Wen Ziren breathed a sigh of relief, he cried directly.

The pressure of the past few days can finally be released. The young man can't stop crying.

Lu Ping'an was also slightly relieved. James Wan's debut had achieved good results, and he would be more convinced to direct "Chainsaw 2" in the future.

That night, Lu Pingan met the last group of people on this North American trip.

That's the writer of "Brokeback Mountain," and its two stars, Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger.

"Batman" is expected to be completed in July, and "Brokeback Mountain" can be launched after completion.

"Brokeback Mountain" is of great significance to Lu Pingan, and it is related to next year's Golden Lion Award and the Oscar the year after.

This project was already on the books as early as 2002, when he told the protagonist Jake Gyllenhaal about it.

Now that the project has begun to enter the preparatory stage, the two protagonists are about to officially enter the stage.

Whether it’s a literary film or a gay film, it takes some time to prepare to get into the mood.

It's just that Lu Ping'an doesn't have much experience with this kind of film, so it's not easy to give any directional suggestions, so as not to teach blindly and make mistakes easily.

We can only let them familiarize themselves with the script and the original work, and then understand it on their own.

Then after returning home, I would seek advice from artistic film directors such as Tian Zhuangzhuang and Guan Jinpeng, and pass them hundreds of times with my golden finger.

I believe he can control this kind of crew when the film starts shooting in more than two months.

At noon the next day, the Batman crew landed in Beijing.

After landing and turning on the phone, they replied to Yan Danchen and Zeng Li's messages. They both replied with one thing, which was about something related to him in domestic entertainment.

After Lu Ping'an saw it, he immediately called Feng Ke, and soon understood the whole story.

Overall, things are complicated and not complicated at all.

Not a big deal, but annoying.

It turns out that the address of the Lupingan Courtyard was leaked by the media recently. There are already many reporters squatting there outside the courtyard, and some have been squatting there for many days.

It stands to reason that there are many reporters who know his home address, but this has never happened.

But Feng Ke said the situation is a little different now.

Because not only Lu Ping An's address was leaked, but the addresses of many other celebrities were also leaked in the industry. Lu Ping An just happened to be the most popular, and he was involved in a "siheyuan", so he caught up and became the focus.

Regarding the former, Feng Ke said that the addresses of these celebrities are likely to be disclosed to the public by the media in the next few days.

After hearing this, Lu Ping'an knew that this was an incident that happened in the domestic entertainment industry in September this year. The addresses of many celebrities were disclosed, so much so that Feng Dapao publicly cursed the magazine at the press conference of "A World Without Thieves", saying that Because of you, there is a lunatic squatting on me at the door every day!

And this is not the only incident like this. Next year, the phone numbers and even ID photos of more than 600 celebrities will be made public, and the nature will be even more egregious.

Lu Ping'an is just catching up to this point in advance.

As for being related to the "siheyuan", it is related to Yu Bo.

Yu Bo, the protagonist of "Xiao Shiyilang" and "Shuiyue Cave", spent 2.6 million this year to buy a dilapidated courtyard house. This was all his savings. When his friends and some media found out, they laughed at him for being stupid. .

As a result, the media found out that there was another big shot who was as "stupid" as Yu Bo, and that was Lu Ping'an.

Lu Ping'an actually bought a courtyard house, and he spent 5 million in 2001!

For a time, Lu Pingan and Yu Bo became "double fools" in the eyes of some media.

Of course, more people are paying attention to Lu Ping'an's wealth.

And wealth is something that can affect people's outlook on life.

Some people began to calculate how much money Lu Ping An had.

It’s not like I didn’t know, but it shocked the entire entertainment industry!

Not to mention anything else, Lu Ping An's "Latent" alone has a box office of 200 million US dollars, and Lu Ping An has invested in it, so the profit must be at least tens of millions of US dollars, which is several hundred million yuan!

This number directly beats the number one spot on this year's mainland "Forbes" celebrity list.

In February this year, the Chinese version of "Forbes" China Celebrity List debuted.

Dayao, Jiuji Zhang, Xiao Yanzi, Wang Fei, Gong Huang, Lao Mouzi, Zhou Gongzi and other celebrities in the entertainment industry are among the best.

Among them, Lian Jie ranks first with an annual income of 140 million yuan, Dayao is second with an annual income of 120 million yuan, and Gong Huang is the highest-paid person in the mainland entertainment industry with an annual income of 28 million yuan.

Lu Ping'an's previously published data ranked him seventh on the celebrity list, one place lower than Lao Mouzi.

The displayed annual income last year was 20 million, which was 2 million more than Lao Mouzi. The income data ranked 10th. I don’t know how it was calculated.

And now, after media exaggeration, Lu Ping An's income data has locked the first place in next year's rankings one year in advance, and it is a crushing first place, because no one is optimistic about who can surpass him.

This directly made countless people call him good guy!

Then everyone's perspective on things also changed.

Many people think that rich people with annual incomes of several hundred million spend a lot of money to buy courtyard houses?

what does that mean?

So the "double fool" that lasted for several days quickly reversed.

Then the house prices of courtyard houses in Beijing skyrocketed.

Now that Lu Ping'an has made a name for himself in Hollywood, his movies are about to be released one after another, and Batman is filming in the mainland again.

Lu Ping An has become the eye of the current media storm.

So the door of his house became a gathering place for paparazzi.

After hearing this, Lu Ping'an felt that he had done a pretty good job of keeping secrets.

After all, if you really want to count his income, he must have exceeded several billion last year.

But it's not something to show off.

Even the hundreds of millions that everyone knows now can already cause him a lot of trouble.

But there is no way. No matter how much Lu Pingan wants to keep a low profile now, he can't hide it.

Who knows that he is now just like Yao Yao, a representative of Chinese people's success in the United States.

So there is only one thing you can do in the future, and that is to do things well and get used to it.

. . . . . . .

The crew left the airport and briefly accepted interviews with the media at the airport, then moved to the hotel to hold a press conference.

The press conference organized by China Film Group was very orderly, and there was nothing special about the content.

Mainly, I looked forward to Liam Neeson, Bale and others’ China trip, and also asked Ping An’s opinion on Forbes.

Lu Ping'an's answer was the same as that of all celebrities, denying it and calling on people not to make wild guesses.

This is the zzzq of domestic entertainment. Everyone keeps it secret. Suddenly you say, "Forbes guessed it right!"

Well, other people's denials become a joke.

And reporters also know the rules for this kind of thing, so they stopped asking after asking once.

After the interview was over, Hu Qingquan was watching the crew's affairs, while Lu Ping'an went directly to the Olympic Organizing Committee.

There are only a few days until June 9th, and he has to cheer up these days.

After arriving at the Olympic Organizing Committee, receiving his clothes and understanding the relevant matters, Lu Ping An went straight to Nortel.

There is also something going on here at Nortel. As a 2000-level student, Lu Ping'an will graduate this year. Principal Zhang has assigned him a task. He has to speak on stage as an outstanding graduate.

This kind of thing is not easy to evade. Principal Zhang said: "Who in the entire grade is more suitable than you? As long as you find one, I will let him go."

This reason is impeccable.

So Lu Pingan had no choice but to take over the task, which was at the end of June.

After chatting with Principal Zhang, Lu Pingan turned to find Tian Zhuangzhuang.

Tian Zhuangzhuang was already his graduate tutor, so Lu Pingan simply told him about "Brokeback Mountain" now.

"Teacher Tian, ​​I have a script here. Please help me refer to it."

"Oh? You have a new project, haven't you finished filming Batman yet?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang asked curiously.

At this moment, he had already experienced some of Hu Qingquan's "troubles".

"Batman will be finished in July, and I want to start shooting this project at the end of August."

Lu Ping'an then answered.

He didn't have anything else on his mind.

Anyway, it was just to say hello first and then chat later. Anyway, the shooting must be based on his own ideas. Looking for Tian Zhuangzhuang was just for learning.

I can learn some of the best. If it is not that difficult to make a literary film, then Tian Zhuangzhuang would not be bad as a mascot.

As for Hu Qingquan, he will be the producer, which is more in line with his approach.

"Okay, leave me here for now. I have to go to class later. Let's talk when we are free."

"Sorry, Teacher Tian."

After waiting for the road to go safely, Tian Zhuangzhuang briefly read the script of "Brokeback Mountain", the complete storyboard script, the original work, and the original Chinese version.

Tian Zhuangzhuang smiled and shook his head: "This kid, Lu Ping'an, is coming with bad intentions!"

However, he likes this kind of students the most, and even says he pursues them throughout his career as a teacher.

Unlike other students, he was chosen as a tutor just for connections and resources.

It's good to have a safe road.

Let me give you a warning first to see if you are qualified to be my mentor.

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded with satisfaction, then took the storyboard script and read it while walking to the classroom.

But soon, he felt bad.

Do you still need me to teach you about this storyboard? !
