China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

"You still have to watch the movie before talking about it."

Lu Ping An told frankly.

No matter how good your technology is, you still have to make money.

In fact, if Lu Ping An uses 3D technology this time, the cost will be very high if calculated according to the market price.

Research and development, production, renovation of cinemas, etc.

These costs are intangible.

If it weren't for the golden finger, he would have spent money.

After having the technology, he will not do the actual taking of orders alone, but will be handed over to the technical team.

That's the cost.

It's not much, but it's still a cost.

So business is business.

I can make less, but I can’t make less.

Zhou Xingxing nodded: "Okay, whenever Director Lu is free, I will show you the master tape."

"I will go to the Xiangjiang Roadshow tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow."

"no problem."

After talking about 3D, Zhou Xingxing asked about special effects.

He saw the special effects in "Wonderful Night" and they were excellent.

Just looking at it this way, he was not very satisfied with the special effects of "Kung Fu".

So if the time and price are right, Zhou Xingxing is even willing to redo it. Anyway, most of the money spent belongs to investors.

Lu Ping'an also confessed directly: "Ackers Technology is also mine. Director Zhou, if you want to redo it, I can still give you a discount. I will tell you the details after watching the movie."

"good."

After talking about the matter, Lu Pingan said again: "We can also talk about the release of the movie."

Zhou Xingxing's eyes widened slightly, and then he smiled: "I should have thought of it a long time ago."

When I came to the mainland this time, talking about technology with Lu Ping An was just one of the things. The other thing was talking about distribution.

At present, he has confirmed several distributors in the mainland. Huayi is the first choice because of its acquisition of Xiying and because of its strong strength.

However, he is also very interested in Planet Cinema. After all, it is well decorated and supports 3D. He has long suspected whether it has something to do with Lu Ping An, but he just doesn't have time to talk about it for the time being.

Now Lu Ping'an said, this saves trouble. You don't have to go to trouble to find it yourself, you can just negotiate it now.

"Fortunately, okay, our planetary theater chain is not large in scale, but it is a reliable partner."

After hearing this, Zhou Xingxing asked directly: "How long is the payment cycle?"

"Three months."

"Sure?"

"Of course, I never take things lightly when it comes to money."

"Okay, we can chat."

"No problem. By the way, does Director Zhou have any plans for overseas distribution?"

"Do you have one from overseas?"

Zhou Xingxing's eyes widened even more.

Lu Ping'an smiled slightly.

Star Film and Television doesn't have many overseas distribution channels. Apart from Jiahe's channel, South Korea counts as one, and the rest are mostly overseas film producers, which is not particularly reliable.

But Dingfeng has it in hand now.

Due to the Paramount Act, Summit is unable to get involved in distribution in North America, but as a well-funded Hollywood company, it has established reliable distribution channels through several small-budget films outside of North America.

Although the scale is still not very big, it is better than nothing.

Not to mention looking at the entire mainland, even in Hong Kong and Taiwan, can you find another one with channel advantages like Ping An?

Moreover, Peak's distribution channels are not only theaters, but also the disc market, which is more difficult to enter.

So Lu Ping'an said in a low-key tone: "It's okay, it's not big, but I can still give you some help. If you're interested, you can chat and compare prices. If possible, I certainly hope that the cooperation will be more pleasant."

If there are jujubes but there are no jujubes, it's a good shot.

For a movie like "Kung Fu" that is considered a classic Kung Fu movie overseas, it is worth Lu Ping An's efforts.

After talking about the matter, the two of them left separately after having a meal at the private kitchen.

Except for Zhou Xingxing, other film producers also talked to him.

All have similar needs.

But Lu Ping An feels that the actual transaction may not be much.

After all, how big is the film industry now?

Of course, if someone deceives the coal boss and prepares for a big wave, that's a different matter.

That night, Lu Pingping went to Shenzhen City overnight to meet up with the creative team.

Two weeks after the movie was released, the creators continued to run road shows.

For Lu Ping An, this large-scale road show is not only to cheer for the box office, but also an inspection of his own theaters and fried chicken restaurants.

As for cinemas, over the past year, there have been nearly 80 theaters that have been opened and those that are preparing to open.

There are more fried chicken restaurants. Li Chenggong said that currently there are 60 fried chicken restaurants that own land alone, not counting those that are franchised.

And this number is skyrocketing.

As a boss, I naturally have to come and take a look.

And judging from the results of the inspection.

Lu Ping'an felt that Li Chenggong had done a good job, but it was not enough.

"Prepare more raw materials."

He gave the order again.

Li Chenggong didn't understand: "Do you still want to add more? Judging from the current sales data linked to movie tickets, the preparations are already somewhat sufficient. In the future, the movie box office will slowly decline, and it may be difficult to digest."

Li Chenggong is still very capable.

But who is Lu Pingan? He is a time traveler.

“Don’t worry and do as I say, and be at least 20% more prepared.”

After hearing this, Li Chenggong probably guessed what Lu Pingan relied on.

But when he looked at Liu Feiren's poster, he still thought it was too dreamy.

But he still did as he was told. Whoever makes way safely is the big boss, but he still needs to make more plans to wipe his ass.

After hanging up the phone, the car arrived at the hotel.

Lu Ping'an put down his luggage in his room as he had done in the past two weeks, and then sneaked into Zeng Li's room quietly.

Starting from the next day, the final road show in the Mainland for this stage of "Wonderful Night" began.

This stop is also the most gathering of all the creators in the past two weeks, even Northeastern Lao Zhao is here.

Because tonight, the movie's two-week box office will be announced, and it is likely to surpass "Source Code". This is a moment worth celebrating.

After entering the cinema and making his appearance, the fans immediately cheered.

Now that "Wonderful Night" is a big hit, the creators have already become popular.

Huang Bo has also successfully become famous in the entertainment industry with his role as Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo's figures are also the fourth best-selling figure in the museum. The third is Cowboy, foreigners still have an advantage, and the second is Zeng Li's Hua Mulan. , female figures have great advantages.

Of course, it can’t be compared with the first one, which is the dinosaur. The ribs can be removed. Children love it most.

Now Huang Bo also calls Lu Pingan "brother" like Bao Qiang, even though he is much older than Lu Pingan.

His co-star in the film, Cao Cao, one of the duo, has also gained high popularity. In addition to the bonuses brought by the role, his Mandarin, which has a Beijing flavor, is also key.

Chen Kun also received a lot of bonuses with his role as "stepdad".

Everyone discovered that Chen Kun can still develop this kind of acting, so now many comedic roles have approached him.

Uncle Ge is still Uncle Ge. There is not much room for improvement in his acting skills and status, but his popularity has risen a lot.

Now everyone calls him "Brother Qian" when they see him, just like many people will call him "Master" after "Let the Bullets Fly" in the future.

Of course, "Wonderful Night" and "Let the Bullets Fly" are still not comparable.

Ge You was very happy about the nickname "Brother Qian".

After all, "Brother Qian" is a "brother", and he responded to the advertising slogan: youthful, healthy products.

Mr. Zhou also made some profits, after all, he was also an actor in the film.

Huang Xiaoming also went on several road shows. Lu Pingan said that if there is a second film, Tang Seng will have a role. Huang Xiaoming is also one of the popular niche actors in the mainland, so just from one appearance, the profit is not small.

Li Binbin’s income is also very high, but it really cannot compare with Zeng Li.

Hua Mulan has become the most famous character in Zeng Li's acting career. Her appearance has also received more recognition from industry resources because of her different makeup this time, which directly envy many female stars.

Of course, no matter how great the benefits of these people are, they will not be greater than those of Fan Wei.

The popularity of the character has greatly improved his status in the industry.

Currently, "Wonderful Night" is about to be released for two weeks. We will get the data tonight on the box office in the two weeks.

But based on the data currently known, "Wonderful Night" has also exceeded 200 million.

The male protagonist with a box office of 200 million!

How many are there in the mainland?

Lian Jie from "Hero".

Guorong from "Source Code".

Now there is Fan Wei with a unique painting style.

And there will probably be a second part of the film.

It can be said that Fan Wei rose to the top in the mainland film and television industry with just one movie.

It is even possible to go directly to the international market.

After all, Lu Ping An's movies are not limited to domestic ones.

Of course, Lao Fan's fire will have some impact on Northeast Lao Zhao. After all, it seems to the outside world that Lao Fan is following Lao Zhao, and something happened before because of uneven distribution.

Now that Lao Zhao is matching Fan Wei, this is very reminiscent. Everyone guesses what Lao Zhao is feeling now.

This would also have some negative effects on the movie.

Fortunately, although something did happen between the two of them and their relationship hit rock bottom, Northeastern Lao Zhao also understood people and the world and gave Lu Ping'an a lot of face. He came in person during the road show and tried his best to maintain his relationship with Fan Wei.

Lu Ping'an also knew how to reciprocate love, and he happened to have plans to continue to cooperate with Lao Zhao.

So everyone was happy.

At 12 o'clock that night, Lu Pingan received a call from Han Sanpin.

"Wonderful Night" was released for two weeks, with a box office of 235 million!

Lu Ping An wins the highest box office of domestic movies! ! ! (End of chapter)
