China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

Next Uncle Dong talked about this matter.

Like the original time and space, in view of Lao Mouzi's poor performance in Athens, the 08 chief director will openly campaign for the whole society.

The news will be announced in a few days.

Lu Ping'an knew that this matter later caused an extremely wide impact.

As a result, there were more than a hundred teams participating in the first round of elections.

Even Cui Jian formed a team and went up to fight.

Some of them are proactive invitations.

Take Hollywood director Li An for example. Later, Li An's plan made it to the final round.

This time, Lu Ping'an also took the initiative to invite people.

Uncle Dong said that in addition to his reputation as a director, the plan he gave during the 8-minute seminar in Athens was also affirmed by his superiors.

"Maybe someone will come to talk to you in person in a few days."

It's good to have someone at the publicity outlet, so you can know the inside information in advance.

But Lu Ping'an didn't have much interest in running for office.

Again.

He doesn't think the so-called election campaign is really that fair and just.

The final result of the original time and space is still Lao Mouzi. Whether it is the result of the election or due to other reasons, it is not the real decision maker, no one knows.

In addition, even if the task really falls on him.

Lu Ping'an didn't think he could handle it either.

Uncle Dong also knows these two points.

But this is the Olympics after all.

And the key question is, if Lu Ping An is not mentioned above, then there is nothing wrong with Lu Ping An not taking the initiative to run for office.

But he mentioned it above and said that he was very optimistic about it and would take the initiative to find him in the future.

Then things will be different.

Lu Ping'an made his attitude clear: "I'll go back and prepare."

"The primary election will probably be in March next year. If you have enough time, do it slowly."

Uncle Dong smiled and ended the topic.

Then comes the family dinner.

During the dinner, Uncle Dong asked Lu Pingan about his recent movie.

Regarding movies, Uncle Dong actually hasn’t talked much about them.

He is an administrator, not a filmmaker.

So what he said today was the same as usual, it was about fundamentals.

For example, we need to strive for excellence, learn more about the advantages of each company, broaden our horizons, and don’t drift away, etc.

A negative example was also mentioned during the period, that is Riku Taro.

Riku Taro is now famous.

His "Kekexili" was released last month.

The movie was a shock among critics.

He is said to be the most artistic among the younger generation of directors.

These words are more or less suspected of disturbing the peace of the people on the road.

But soon, Riku Taro was accused.

The media also intervened immediately, and the public knew that "Kekexili" allegedly plagiarized the plot, concept, creativity, scene, atmosphere, and visual background of the documentary "Tibetan Antelope and Me - The Glacier Flows Here" created by the plaintiff. , shot composition and other aspects, and even some dialogues in the movie "Kekexili" are exactly the same as those in the documentary created by the plaintiff.

Of course Lu Tailang did not admit it, and the matter quickly went through legal procedures.

Lu Ping'an also knows the final result.

That is, the plaintiff will defect in the future and the matter will be resolved "satisfactorily".

But now, anyone with eyesight knows what is going on.

So Uncle Dong made a special point.

“It’s normal to encounter bottlenecks in artistic creation, but don’t imitate others.”

"I know Uncle Dong, don't worry."

Lu Pingan touched his nose.

I really want to say plagiarism.

He is the best director in the world.

After eating, Lu Pingping went directly back to the company.

Baoqiang was very happy to see Lu Ping'an back.

"Brother, you are back."

Looking at the big white teeth, Lu Pingan also smiled.

"A World Without Thieves" is about to be released, and Baoqiang, as the main creative staff, is about to start making various announcements.

Baoqiang has never experienced this kind of thing in publicity, but in "Source Code" he was not the protagonist, he was just a soy sauce.

But this time was different, so Wu Guohua and Zhang Songwen both said that Bao Qiang was visibly nervous these days.

"very nervous?"

"A bit, I'm afraid I'll embarrass you when I go on the show."

"Ha ha."

Lu Ping'an was very happy.

Baoqiang is indeed a considerate little brother.

But what should be comforted should still be comforted.

"Baoqiang, you are a newcomer who has just debuted. It is normal for a newcomer to make a fool of himself, and everyone will understand. This is how I came here at the time. What's more, your acting is stupid. It's not good if you are too good."

"I see!"

Baoqiang showed his big white teeth again.

As soon as the elder brother comforted him, Baoqiang suddenly felt that the stone in his heart was relieved.

"Let's go, let's take you to experience the taste of the spotlight in advance."

To appease Baoqiang's mood, Lu Pingan began to act like a capitalist.

With a wave of his hand, he started to greet the camera crew to shoot the commercial for Baoqiang.

As a "silly guy" who is about to become a hit, how could Burger King miss out on this kind of endorsement?

Of course, it will definitely not work for him to replace the national spokesperson Liu Feiren.

But it’s okay to let him endorse individual products.

"This meat is amazing!"

In the camera, Baoqiang spoke a simple and crude advertising slogan with a Xingtai accent to the green pillow in his hand.

In this future advertisement, Baoqiang will have various products such as chicken legs, chicken wings, and burgers, which can be replaced flexibly according to different stores and cities.

For such advertising, Baoqiang can earn 280,000 yuan, after tax, for three years.

From a capitalist's perspective, Lu Ping An is undoubtedly excellent.

From the perspective of the eldest brother, Lu Ping'an is a bit dark.

But from Baoqiang's perspective, Lu Ping'an is his big brother!

"Don't spend your money carelessly."

"No, no."

Baoqiang's big white teeth flashed out again.

And in his mind, he was already imagining how great it would be after the family's debt and house problems were solved.

After filming the commercial, Lu Pingping took care of various chores.

"Wonderful Night" is released separately.

The box office is close to 400 million yuan. From this ticket, Star Film and Television can earn about 110 million yuan just from the box office split.

Planet Cinema currently has 56 theaters, and it can get more than 20 million of the 400 million box office.

Big profit!

Lu Ping'an was unfazed by this.

It’s only 100 million. If we expand the cinema or invest in the next project, it will be spent very quickly and it will not last.

"Pacific Rim" has currently completed the first phase of character drawing design. The next step is to completely finalize it, and then start producing models, framing, and setting. It will take at least half a year in total, and then casting will begin, and then filming will begin.

Some changes were also made to the script.

The plot theme structure does not need to be changed, only some small details need to be changed. For example, the original Storm Red will definitely not work.

This time, let’s simply deepen the background of the story of “The Wanderer” and the character background of the protagonist’s “brother” at the beginning to make him more Chinese.

As for the protagonist of the movie, Lu Pingan finally chose old and American actors.

Movies need to be oriented to the international market, and the mainland market capacity is limited. This is the most appropriate choice at the moment.

As for whether the final script will have two male protagonists or a female protagonist like the original version, it is still early and will be polished slowly.

After inspecting the company, I returned to Villa No. 1, and the long-lost spicy home-cooked dishes from southern Hunan were ready.

“A taste of home.”

Lu Pingan took a deep breath and praised it.

Yan Danchen heard the sound and walked out of the kitchen. Seeing that Lu Ping'an, whom he hadn't seen for five and a half months, was finally back, he couldn't stop the joy in his eyes.

"Little peace!"

After running a few steps, Yan Danchen jumped into Lu Ping'an's arms like a little rabbit.

Lu Pingping caught it steadily.

No nonsense, lip-syncing.

However, the deep affection did not last for a few seconds before Lu Pingping forcibly separated: "Something hit the back of my head."

"Yeah, I forgot to put down the spatula."

Yan Danchen suddenly woke up.

Then the two looked at each other and continued to kiss each other.

. . . . . .

Cook, eat, shower, shower again.

After a set of sweet procedures, the two of them sat on the sofa and turned on the TV as usual.

The TV in the villa was very large. Although it was not comparable to those of later generations, it was considered a luxury in this era. Gao Qiqiang's eyes lit up when he saw it.

What was playing on TV was "Silent Witness" in which she starred last year.

Just seeing Zeng Li inside, Lu Ping'an suddenly felt a little tight.

Fortunately, an episode had just finished playing at this time, so Lu Ping'an changed the channel decisively.

Then I saw "I Really Want to Fall in Love" starring Na Youniao.

To be honest, Yehenala was much better at acting than many young actors later.

But Lu Ping'an really had no interest in looking at her old face.

Changing the channel again, Di Renjie, walking in a square step, steadily analyzing the case in front of the camera, appeared.

"Detective Di Renjie 1" was released.

Divine drama!

But Lu Ping'an didn't want to watch.

Now her main task is to listen to Yan Danchen's interesting stories these days.

"Lotus Lantern" is so much fun and Liu Xiaoqing's acting skills are so good, but this person feels a little pretentious.

Shu Chang's face in "Jing Wei Reclamation" is so small.

Finally, the thing that makes her happiest is her weekly shop patrol.

Since the Planet Cinema No. 1 store was given to Yan Danchen.

The little proprietress Yan Danchen turned into a little hamster.

In fact, Yan Danchen is not a person who particularly cares about such external things.

But anyone who suddenly has an asset in their name will turn into a little hamster.

In the past few months, she has been coming back to the theater from time to time to check the sales volume and check the hygiene. She is very happy.

Especially when "Wonderful Night" continued to break records at the box office, Yan Danchen was particularly happy.

Yan Danchen asked with a smile: "Do you know the feeling of counting money until your hands cramp?"

Lu Pingan shook his head: "I really don't know."

"I know!"

Yan Danchen sat up happily, stretched out his hand, with a smile on his face, but with a sense of grievance, "I'm really tired, so tired, so tired!"

Lu Ping'an naturally understands what it means.

He held the two little hands and rubbed them: "Now."

"Well, much better."

"Like a little girl, how old are you?"

"18 years old!"

"shameless."

"I do not care"

After laughing for a while, the little boss lady became unhappy again.

"The business of theaters has dropped significantly after October. I heard that many theaters will no longer be able to open."

This is the norm in theaters nowadays.

After a boom in the summer season, popular movies have been removed from the shelves one after another. There are no popular movies to take over, and theater business has been very slow.

For example, right now, there are only 8 new movies released in the mainland in the entire month of November. Only three movies can survive the one-week release period, and the national box office data does not exceed 3 million.

Therefore, almost all theaters in the country are struggling to support themselves, waiting for the Lunar New Year season to come.

Lu Ping An owns nearly 70 theaters across the country. If he does not buy real estate and only relies on box office share, snack sales and advertising revenue, he will suffer a huge loss at this time.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to worry about that now.

Yan Danchen, the proprietress of Store No. 1, doesn’t have to worry about this either.

So Lu Ping'an got another "kiss" reward.

"Our little Ping'an is amazing!"

"of course!"

The two continued chatting until Fatty Di on the TV started playing commercials. Then the two returned to the big bed, and then there was a restless groping and creaking sound again.

A bed worth more than 20,000 yuan is of this quality?

Must change!

For half a month, Lu Pingping worked at two o'clock and one line at a time. He went to the company during the day and came back at night to continue living the world of two with Yan Danchen.

He has no plans to go to the school for the time being.

He would have liked to take a graduate course, but after working continuously for so long, he really wanted to take a longer rest.

So he couldn't muster up much energy for the original plan of going to Bashu to see a new school and visiting several film crews.

As for those dinner parties, I don’t even want to go there.

The reasons he gave everyone were the same.

"I'm busy in the post-production stage of the movie."

The reasons are strong.

As soon as everyone heard this, they gave up the idea of ​​interrupting.

Lu Ping'an has made an art film to prepare for the fourth international award. It has already spread in the market.

I don’t know what it was specifically about, I just know it was an ethical film.

Of course, the plot doesn't matter. For art films, what matters is artistry and whether it can win awards.

At this point, most people are actually not optimistic about it.

But I won’t say it openly.

Now that Lu Ping'an has said that he will do the later stage, he looks like he is ready, so naturally no one will want to disturb him.

Otherwise it will offend people.

This also gave Lu Ping'an a rare moment of peace.

But his friends can still be contacted.

For example, Wu Jing.

During this period, Wu Jing called and wanted to advise on whether he could play a role.

He was talking about "Slaying the Wolf".

Wu Jing has been living in Xiangjiang for more than a year. Even though he has Guorong to help him, his development in Xiangjiang is not good.

On the one hand, this is related to Wu Jing being a mainlander.

Another main reason is because of the sluggish film industry in Hong Kong.

The market is sluggish, kung fu movies are even more declining, and opportunities are becoming less and less. For a mainland martial arts star, it may not be difficult to get a chance to play a small supporting role, but if you want to play a major role, it is difficult for local actors in Hong Kong. What's more, Wu Jing, and Wu Jing obviously won't be satisfied with just being a supporting role.

At this confused moment, his agent and boss Huang Baigao was preparing to invest in a movie called "Slaying the Wolf".

There is a role left for Wu Jing, the villain swordsman in the film.

Wu Jing resisted this at first.

But he remembered what Lu Pingan had said, so he immediately called Lu Pingan for advice.

Of course Lu Ping An will not stop him.

So after patiently listening to the general role and scenes, he directly suggested that he could act.

Wu Jing was immediately confident and happily prepared for the role.

Lu Ping'an said fortunately that he didn't ask himself whether he would invest.

Theoretically speaking, "Slaying the Wolf" has Sammo Hung, a talented cast, a gathering of big names, and the film has a good reputation, so it won't be too bad at the box office.

But the movie "Original Time and Space" only had a box office of more than 7 million in Hong Kong.

It cannot be released in mainland China yet.

So it's best not to ask.

If you ask, Lu Ping'an will be difficult to handle.

However, Lu Pingan felt that he was too worried.

Wu Jing has this kind of mentality, and there is a high probability that he will not ask such a sensitive question.

On November 30, after Lu Pingan stayed at home for three weeks, Yan Danchen started to get busy again, and Lu Pingan couldn't stay any longer.

At this time, the two teams of the company will also set off for filming.

One is "Kung Fu Panda". They will go to Jiuzhaigou to re-record the scenery.

One is "Pacific Rim". They will go to Hong Kong, the main battlefield in the movie, to shoot.

Lu Pingping simply went out to do some work.

I took advantage of this period of time before the year before to finish some chores and the visits I had promised before.

The first stop is Xiangjiang.

The goal is to promote film exchanges between mainland and Hong Kong, promote traditional Chinese culture, and find a director from Hong Kong to finalize "Painted Skin".

It's a little late today, but it won't affect today's normal update.
