China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

After submitting the plan, Lu Pingan continued to work on the preparatory work for several movies in the company.

The tedious work, coupled with the immature technical staff in various departments, made Lu Pingping envious of Hollywood's film infrastructure.

During the preparation of "Batman", it was really possible to get whatever you wanted. For every subdivided project, several teams could be found to bid.

As long as you are willing to spend money, we can make clear arrangements for you.

Fortunately, Lu Ping'an can still calm down.

There are already differences, so you don’t need to always compare them with the standards over there.

Of course, even if you are catching up, you cannot be too slow. You still have to speed up when you need to speed up.

So this involves the talent plan mentioned before.

After looking at his phone, Lu Ping'an saw that the time agreed with Principal Zhang was coming soon. Lu Ping'an took the car keys and headed to Nortel.

It's art exam time now, art students from all over the world gather here, and the crowd outside the Nortel Gate is overwhelming.

There are many more cars in Beijing in 2005 than in previous years, and the old A6 is very low-key among all the luxury cars.

The license plate is ordinary and the brand is ordinary, so I can only move slowly with the traffic flow.

Many self-righteous car owners think that their cars are expensive and they think they can get into the school. However, when they arrive at the gate, they encounter ruthless security guards to persuade them to leave, and then there are occasional disputes, which makes the traffic even more congested.

Traffic jams can be very irritating, and Lu Pingping felt helpless when he saw this.

He rarely drives alone all year round, but this happens when he goes out.

But the good news is that in Nortel's territory, Director Lu is still quite able to make ends meet.

"Guide, you are here. Come and follow me."

Soon an old security guard recognized his car. After confirming that the driver was Lu Pingping, the three security guards opened the way to avoid a group of BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes.

The situation suddenly became clearer, and Lu Ping'an was in a happy mood. He rolled down the car window and expressed his gratitude to the security guard.

This also made many parents and candidates outside exclaim:

"How could he go in? It's director Lu Ping'an!"

"Director Lu is not the examiner, right?"

"Driving an A6 is so low-key!"

"Where is it? Which one is the guide's car?"

Under the attention of everyone, Lu Pingping entered the school.

After entering the teacher's building, nodding to the teachers all the way, Lu Ping'an went straight to Hu Qingquan's office.

Hu Qingquan is an important executor of Lupin's talent plan. With him, Lupin doesn't have to worry about many things.

When he came to the office, Hu Qingquan was chatting with two people.

The two seemed to be father and son, and the younger one was probably this year's candidate.

Lu Pingping expressed his understanding.

For art exams, it’s normal to have a relationship.

Hu Qingquan is now famous, so it is no surprise that he is being publicized.

But Hu Qingquan obviously didn't like this kind of thing.

Seeing Lu Ping'an coming, Hu Qingquan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up to end the current conversation.

Lu Ping'an wasn't going to talk to these two people anymore. He pointed at the ceiling and closed the door and left.

The two people were still wondering why this man left without coming in.

Hey, that person seems familiar.

Yeah, that person looks like Director Lu.

Before they could react, Hu Qingquan had already left the door and disappeared into the corridor.

After two hours of chatting in Principal Zhang’s office, the matter was basically settled.

Regarding talent matters, I had told Hu Qingquan earlier that Lu Ping'an came here this time just to push things forward as the rightful owner.

After all, this matter requires money, and Ping An is the one who pays for it.

The final preliminary plan is for Lu Ping An and the school to allocate some money to establish a regulated training program.

We have to continue talking about the specifics. It is not difficult to establish the project, because Lu Ping An’s Star Film and Television and Nortel have cooperated in this area since "Source Code". Now they are just expanding the depth of cooperation.

With Hu Qingquan and Principal Zhang around, as long as Lu Ping An provides enough money and pilot projects, the plan can be implemented smoothly.

There is no need to spend too much money, the project is beneficial, there are people in the government and the government, and there is policy support.

After talking about the business, Principal Zhang asked if he wanted to go see the art exam site.

This year’s Nortel acting class does have several future stars.

Yang Mi, Yuan Shanshan, Jiao Junyan and others.

But Secretary Yang had already met him, and he wasn't interested in the others. He had no taste for pretending in the past, so forget it.

Back at the company, Wattsberg called.

Two things, one is the issue of the release date and release of "Batman", and the other is that "Chainsaw 2" will be released in three weeks, and Lu Ping'an, the creator of the "Chainsaw" series, needs to make an appearance.

Lu Ping'an told him to go there in a few days.

He still has a few things to explain clearly in the past few days.

Two days later, Lu Pingan finalized the producers of "Initial D".

With an investment of 100 million, Xingchen Film and Television retained 50% of the share.

The remaining 50% will be divided among six companies including China Film, Xiangjiang Eagle King, and Enlight.

The producers cover the three places across the Taiwan Strait and Neon.

Just like what Sister Hua analyzed before, Lu Pingan really wants to use such a movie to open up a larger market.

"Initial D" is a comic adaptation, and like "Batman", it has its own fan base.

In fact, all the previous movies of Ping An Lu did not really involve this kind of group.

In addition to being fans of IP, most of these people are trendy young people who will be the main consumers in the next few years.

So since it is a commercial movie, it naturally has to be considered with commercial thinking.

The 50% share was given out, but in fact Lu Ping An didn’t get much meat.

Because his director's salary is extremely high.

The salary this time is the same as his worth in Hollywood.

This Qi Ping refers to the actual salary he received in Hollywood, not the market quotation.

So according to the salary calculation of "Batman", he received 3 million US dollars, plus a share of the box office.

If we add the theater chains under his ownership.

In this wave, Lu Ping'an is the one who has made the most money anyway.

Are other producers happy?

Don't be too happy about that.

Lu Ping'an's commercial films are now a rare resource.

If you grab a share, you'll earn it!

And this time it’s a modern movie, which is a very suitable type for advertising.

In addition, the lineup is very gimmicky.

Lu Ping An + Milk Tea Week + Edison + Drag Racing.

The two in the middle already have a lot of endorsements.

Therefore, "Initial D" was about to be launched, and various product companies immediately took notice.

The only question is whether Lu Ping'an is willing to let go.

If he is willing to relent and work hard, he will be able to directly realize the profit of the film during the investment promotion meeting next week.

However, the producers feel that Lu Ping An will not ask for any money.

A great director always has something to pursue.

This also makes each producer happy and sad.

The project has been approved and filming will begin in July.

Next is the casting of some side characters.

Several leading roles have been decided. In addition to Edison, Jay Chou and Huang Bo, Tony Leung Ka Fai will eventually play Takumi's father, while Chen Dao Min is not available.

In addition, the role of Zhong Zhentao in the original version is still Zhong Zhentao. This actor has a firm stance and there is nothing wrong with casting him.

The heroine is recommended by Neon Company, and it is currently to be decided. Neon has not yet chosen a good actress, and Lu Ping’an estimates that it may still be Suzuki Xing.

As for "Zhongli Yi" and other roles played by Shawn Yue in the original version, just let several companies recommend it. In the end, Lu Ping An will finalize according to the system score.

At this point, the disadvantage of not having artists under Xingchen is reflected, but Lu Ping'an doesn't feel it's a pity. As a production company, it's good to be more pure.

After "Initial D" was settled, Lu Ping'an started talking about the next project.

While Han Sanpin and various publishers were there, Lu Pingan showed everyone "Crazy Stone" in the afternoon.

In the end, the situation was as expected. It was the best among low-budget films. Everyone once again envied Lu Ping'an for having another masterpiece in his hands.

Then the filming went smoothly and it will be released on June 10 this year.

This time happens to be the opening time of the "domestic film protection period".

Lu Ping An has no embarrassment at all. Small-cost domestic masterpieces are the ones that need protection the most. It is reasonable and reasonable to take advantage of this benefit.

And Ning Hao is not a famous director like Lu Pingan or Xu Laoguai.

This year, Mr. Xu's "Seven Swords" also wanted to be released during the Protection Month, but he couldn't bear to do it.

So when "Crazy Stone" is released, there will be almost no competitors.

This made Ning Hao breathe a sigh of relief, but he also gritted his teeth silently.

He decided that next time the movie is released, he will try not to take advantage of this kind of benefit! (End of chapter)
