China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

After talking about "Soldier Assault", news came from "Crazy Stone".

"Stone" is finished.

As a producer, Hu Qingquan finally asked Lu Ping'an about "Brokeback Mountain" after finishing "Stone".

Hu Qingquan returned to China before the filming of "Brokeback Mountain" was completed, and he did not participate in the later stages.

Like Tian Zhuangzhuang, he has not seen the finished film.

I didn’t even know that Road Safety only took three weeks to complete the film.

So the two of them are now waiting for Lu Ping An to finish the movie, and then wait to watch it, and then give some guidance based on the situation.

Now three months have passed since the filming of "Brokeback Mountain" was completed. Hu Qingquan finally said: "Has "Brokeback Mountain" been finished?"

"not yet."

Lu Ping'an made up a lie without even thinking about it.

What he wants is to make people feel that the film is "milled".

Otherwise it would be too buggy.

And there are still four months until the film is released in Venice, so it’s early.

Sure enough, Hu Qingquan agreed very much with Lu Pingan's answer: "It's right to do it slowly, don't rush."

There's really no rush.

I'm very busy now, so I don't have time to talk about artistic films.

It wouldn’t be too late to wait until the deadline for film submission in Venice in May to discuss it.

The total investment in "Stone" was 6 million, and the final cost was 6.55 million.

Ning Hao, who finally returned to Beijing after being drunk for two days after the closing party, plunged into the post-production room when he returned to the company.

But Ning Hao was still tense after returning to the company. It was obvious that he was under great pressure.

Lu Ping'an didn't say much. He just gave him the company's largest editing room so that he could have a comfortable environment for post-production.

This also made Lu Ping'an feel that the construction period of the company building was still a bit slow.

At the end of last year, he asked Uncle Liao to buy a piece of land in the capital and spent more than 100 million.

Not big, but not small either.

A commercial office building can be built in the main body, and a shopping mall can be built below.

The overall cost is estimated to be around 500 million, which is relatively luxurious in this era.

But the price is that the construction period will be relatively long. It has been started for more than five months and will not be fully completed until the end of 2007.

Shaking his head, Lu Ping'an felt that it would be better to go slower, as long as it lasts longer.

By January 13th, three weeks after its release, "Kung Fu" had a box office of over 200 million.

That same day, Old Monster Xu was brought by Han Sanpin to visit Lu Ping'an for 3D.

Old Monster Xu was full of confidence.

It was said that the visual effects team of "Seven Swords" approached the "Lord of the Rings" team.

The cast is also quite luxurious, with actors from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea.

There will be a trilogy in the future!

That ambition cannot be hidden.

But Lu Ping'an just went in one ear and out the other, and then extended his hand: Chenghui 15 million!

He wouldn't listen to any trilogy.

But Mr. Xu was already very satisfied. After all, Lu Ping An's external quotations started at US$2 million, which was a discount of more than one million US dollars. Although it was not his money, it was also a matter of face.

On January 24, one month after "Kung Fu" was released, the box office was 256 million, which was about 80 million more than the original box office.

"A World Without Thieves" is still in theaters, with a box office of about 170 million, which is more than 40 million more than the original time and space.

The box office of both films was much higher than the original time and space data.

Others don't know, but Lu Ping'an still knows it himself.

He knew that by participating in the theater business and constantly stimulating the market with blockbusters, he had unknowingly expanded the domestic film market so much.

Something to be proud of.

Of course, what is even more gratifying is that Planet Cinema, IMAX Technology, etc. are making a lot of money.

Just when Lu Ping'an was taking stock of how much money his theater had made during the Lunar New Year holiday, Chen Jiashang from Xiangjiang brought good news. The script for "Painted Skin" was completed.

That night, Lu Ping'an took the script printed out from his mailbox and stayed at Zeng Li's cabin.

"Look at this script."

On the sofa, Lu Pingan handed it to Zeng Li.

"What script?"

Zeng Li asked curiously.

"As for the movie script, the painting as promised should be done as promised."

"Did you really write it down?"

"I didn't write it, but it's almost the same. It's enough to praise you."

"Boss Coal, you."

Zeng Li sounded disgusted, but the joy and happiness in his expression and eyes almost overflowed.

Then he started reading the script. Lu Pingan hugged her and explained everything to her.

The script given by Chen Jiashang is very different from the original time and space.

They are all approved of "painted skin" and tell another story, which has nothing to do with Pu Songling.

Overall, the quality of the script is not particularly good.

But it is indeed enough for people.

Spend big money and do enough publicity, but the key is to never use the name of Ping An.

In this way, it is not a big problem to create the effect of original time and space.

Of course, when the film is finally released, Mr. Zhou will definitely be the one who profits the most, but there is nothing that can be done about it. To be honest, Mr. Zhou is responsible for half of the drama.

Lizi can follow Fenrun and contribute some wonderful scenes, which is a successful completion of the task for her.

"How about it?"

After reading the script, Lu Pingan asked.

"Great, how much are you going to spend?"

"The production cost must be 70 to 80 million."

"Too much."

"Is that much? You don't know how much your man's assets are."

"No matter how much it is, it's too much, just in case."

"Don't worry, you don't have to doubt my vision. I won't lose anything. Now you just need to think about the role carefully."

"Then I'll push it aside and prepare for the movie."

"No, Mei Sanniang, you can still act as usual, and you can use this for publicity when the time comes."

"Okay, it's up to you."

The heroine Pei Rong handled it easily.

The other two leading actors are equally relaxed.

The next day, Lu Ping'an called Chen Jia and told him that there was no problem with the script. At best, he only needed to optimize some details and asked him to come to the capital to discuss it in detail.

Chen Jiashang set off on the same day, and Lu Ping'an immediately notified Mr. Zhou and Chen Kun.

Mr. Zhou is currently expanding his business in the music field and is very busy, but it has no effect on Lu Ping'an.

When Lu Ping'an called, Mr. Zhou immediately sighed: I've finally waited for you, Director Lu!

Since the last time "The Night the Comet Came", apart from guest appearances, there has been no official collaboration.

Chen Kun also expressed the same emotion as Mr. Zhou.

Like Mr. Zhou, he had been waiting for Lu Ping'an's call for a long time.

This time Director Lu has invited the male and female protagonists. Even if Lu Ping'an is not the screenwriter and director this time, the 100 million blockbuster investment still deserves enough attention for them.

The actors are basically done, and the next step is the director and team.

Although the preparatory work for this kind of magical drama is simpler than that of "Pacific Rim", it does not mean that it can be done quickly.

So take your time.

During this period, Lu Pingping took the opportunity to find more talents to reserve.

Uncle Li is right, what is most important in the 21st century?

Talent!

Now, he has money, advanced technology, channels, and resources, but he lacks high-end film and television technical talents.

Lu Ping'an knew that it was no longer time for him to eat enough for the whole family.

Of course you can easily rely on "X", but you can't always rely on "foolish one-click generation".

You have to reserve some talents.

In the future, "Painted Skin" and "Pacific Rim" will have many other projects that require the support of large industries, and they will all need sufficient team support.

It just so happens that after the New Year, graduates start to worry about their jobs.

So many fresh graduates are ready-made reserve talents.
