China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

On the 25th, in that familiar big house, Liu Qianqian's coming-of-age ceremony was not public, but there were still many people coming.

Lu Ping'an also knew most of the people present. In addition to Lu Ping'an, Ning Hao and other Liu Qianqian's circle of close friends, Huang Xiaoming, Shu Chang, Zhang Dahu, Zhu Shimao and others also came. This can be regarded as the network that Liu Qianqian has managed over the years.

In addition to acquaintances in these circles, there are also celebrities in the cultural world and some people in the political world who are from Liu's father's side.

Therefore, Liu Qianqian's network of contacts is still very wide.

If you have a more stable future, don't act blindly. Your blood will be so thick that even ordinary celebrities can't envy you.

After Lu Ping'an arrived, everyone's focus naturally turned to him.

Now everyone knows that Liu Qianqian is almost bound to Lu Ping'an in the future.

In fact, it's not that exaggerated.

Lu Pingan can only provide Liu Qianqian with a few film resources in the future.

The two are in the form of cooperation, with the film appointment + shares of Liu Qianqian's Hongxingwu agency.

For Lu Ping An, this deal is actually extremely cost-effective.

There is no need to spend money to buy shares in the other brokerage company, it is given as a gift.

Needless to say, Liu Qianqian’s commercial value, and with the support of Lu Ping An’s films, her ability to attract money in the future will definitely be the first in Asia and even the world.

As for movies, this is the most valuable resource in everyone’s eyes.

After all, he is the protagonist of Lu Ping An's movie. This may not be particularly top-notch in Hollywood, but there is no doubt about it in mainland China and Asia.

But making a movie is never that easy.

This kind of thing is all gambling, who knows whether the next one will still make money?

It’s just that everyone doesn’t know that Lu Ping An’s most important thing is good movies.

Moreover, it is a masterpiece that has been screened and suitable for Liu Qianqian's age group.

If you don't collect these films, you will miss the time, so Liu Qianqian came at the right time.

Of course, everyone will still maintain a certain degree of rationality.

After all, good resources may not necessarily produce good results.

For example, "White Ghost" starring Liu Qianxi in the original time and space, the resources are good, it must be good, it is a big production, and it is paired with Nicolas Cage, but the effect is not as good as the bad mainland movies.

This kind of thing is very common.

Therefore, while everyone has high expectations for cooperation, they will still remain rational.

In this mentality, cooperation resulted in a gambling agreement.

If Lu Pingan makes a movie in the future with Liu Qianqian as the protagonist, as long as the box office is higher, Lu Pingan will have more shares in the cooperation with Liu Qianqian.

Similar to the cooperation model between Fan Bayi and Evergrande Lao Xu.

The only difference is that Fan Bayi may not have a choice.

If you want to become capital, you must sacrifice something in exchange for more say, so the bet is probably two-way.

As for what to sacrifice, it’s hard to say, I can only think about it.

Liu Qianqian took the initiative to ask for help, otherwise she would feel embarrassed and unable to feel at ease if she felt that Lu Ping'an was too polite and too uninterested.

The two have different meanings.

And in this way, Lu Pingan has calculated that it only takes two or three movies to absolutely control Liu Qianqian.

Hey, why bother.

But it's understandable.

They don’t know that road safety is a time traveler.

Therefore, it does make sense to say that Liu Qianqian will be bound to Lu Ping'an for the rest of her life.

The birthday party will start soon.

Today Liu Qianxi is dressed like a princess.

Under the control of the host, the next scene was very sensational.

Eighteen years of ups and downs.

Liu Qianqian cried, do you know how I have lived these eighteen years? Well, thank you mom!

After Liu Qianqian cried, Liu Xiaoli cried with bitter tears, which made Boss Chen seem to be crying too, and Father Liu's eyes were also wet.

After a set of inciting emotions, everyone gives gifts.

There is no on-site unboxing, after all, it is a private coming-of-age ceremony.

Then sing happy birthday, blow out candles and make wishes.

Everyone was making noises to get Liu Qianqian to tell her what she wished for.

Liu Qianqian covered her teeth and refused to say anything.

Then the cake was cut, and then Shu Chang and Dong Xuan, who were close to Liu Qianqian, started to make a fuss. The cake smeared Liu Qianqian's face, and Liu Qianqian wiped it back not to be outdone, and then she also smeared Lu Ping's face when he passed by.

After all the fuss, it’s time to eat.

The buffet-style dinner allows visitors to mingle with each other.

Liu's father chatted with Lu Pingan during this period. When it came to changing nationality, he said that Lu Pingan's suggestion was very pertinent.

It's just that the conversion is really difficult.

Lu Ping'an said directly, as long as you have the will, why should you be afraid of difficulties?

If that doesn't work, just transfer to Xiangjiang. People in Xiangjiang are also Chinese, there's no difference.

Anyway, if you want to become a Chinese, there are many ways. You, a diplomat, know better than me.

Father Liu took this opportunity to open up the topic and asked why this was required.

Why? In order to avoid being hacked in the future.

However, Lu Ping'an didn't say that, he just said firmly: This is my rule.

Father Liu laughed after hearing this. He didn't know why he was laughing. His eyes were full of kindness and seemed to recognize him.

Lu Ping'an smiled slightly and ran away while the others came to chat. He really didn't like chatting with people who talked like this. It was too tiring.

The dinner party ended at midnight.

After Lu Ping'an and others left, Liu Qianqian couldn't wait to open the gifts.

The first thing to open was of course Brother Ping An’s gift.

Liu Xiaoli was also very curious, but in fact she already had a premonition.

Sure enough, after Liu Qianqian opened the gift box, she saw a novel.

"The girl we chased together in those years?"

Liu Qianqian's eyes brightened.

Sure enough, Brother Ping An has thought of me a long time ago!

When Lu Pingan graduated from undergraduate school earlier, Liu Qianqian was guessing whether he would make a first love movie. If he did, it would probably be her. Now it seems that her guess was indeed correct.

This made her very happy.

"Brother Ping'an, I will read it carefully."

On the way home safely, I received a text message from Liu Qianqian.

Lu Ping'an replied: "Come on!"

Liu Qianqian joined Lu Ping'an's family, so her first work must have a certain degree of influence to make her famous.

As for her current age group, youth campus themes are naturally the most suitable and safest.

She had previously filmed a film with similar themes, "Love in May" and "Love Winner", but the response was not great.

But this is also one of the reasons why Lu Pingan chose youth themes.

Tell Liu Qianqian that it will be very helpful for her to stand up in areas where she has fallen down.

For Lu Pingan, the theme of youth campus is the same as "Initial D", which will be very helpful to win over young movie fans on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places.

Again, commercial film directors need to build more fan groups.

The wider the fan base, the better.

Don’t think that if you are a great director, others will watch whatever you film, and the box office will definitely be high.

You can't think like this. It's beneficial to have more contact with the earth.

Talking back to "Those Years", the film The Time and Space was a big hit in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. It grossed over 60 million in box office in Hong Kong, breaking the Chinese box office record of "Kung Fu". It was also third in the year in Bay Area and more than 70 million in mainland China.

In addition to the box office, its dissipated influence is also huge.

It is undoubtedly the best among Chinese-language films on the theme of youth and campus love.

Deserve a safe journey

In fact, when it comes to youth campus-themed movies, the quality of "That Little Thing About First Love" will actually be better.

But first of all, "First Love" will have higher requirements for Liu Qianqian's acting skills.

Secondly, this movie has a prototype. The key is that the shooting period of the original version was extremely long. The director of the original version asked the heroine to wait for three years before continuing filming, and then he could perfectly show the process of the ugly duckling turning into a swan. Lu Ping'an didn't know whether the other party had already When the filming started, they were in Thailand after all.

So combined, it's right to choose "Those Years" as the first choice.

At the same time, he also sent someone to understand the situation.

If he could, he might consider it.

However, Lu Ping'an feels that after Liu Qianqian's success in "Those Years", she no longer needs this kind of film.

The specific project will be filmed after the broadcast of "The Condor" next year, so Liu Qianqian will be well prepared during this time.

After dealing with the outsiders, the next step is to deal with the insiders.

Back in the courtyard, Lu Pingan and Yan Danchen leaned on the bedside at night and read the script together.

I had told Yan Danchen earlier that I wanted to give her a leading role.

But there were a lot of things going on later, and Yan Danchen didn't have a particularly strong desire, so he delayed it.

But we can't delay it now. Now that Lu Ping'an wants to start implementing the plan, he has to give Yan Danchen a hand.

Zeng Li has played the leading role in a big-budget movie called "Painted Skin", but Yan Danchen has never been a leading role in a big-budget movie so far.

The rain and dew are all covered.

We can't compare it to the palace and still suffer a loss.

So Lu Pingan decided to start the movie project as soon as possible.

The project in Yan Danchen's hands is actually not a big production, but a low-cost project.

But as long as it was taken by Lu Pingping, the cost is not particularly important.

In this way, there is a heroine who has done a major production of Stars, and a heroine and supporting actress who has personally directed Lu Ping An.

A bowl of water is almost enough to hold flat.

Then there will be another two-heroine movie, where the two of them can work together.

If one isn't enough, add a few more.

In this way, the movie can be made, money will still be made, and the relationship between the two will deepen.

As for what kind of chemical reaction the two will have.

Lu Pingan said that I have done everything I should do anyway. If the final result is not good, you can make as much trouble as you like. If you push me, I will give up everything!

"What's wrong with you, Ping An? Why are you so vicious?"

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a little plot twist."

"But there's no plot like you mentioned here."

"Oh, it's another plot."

"Hmph, half-hearted."

"I'm not a normal person, you have to understand."

After hearing this, Yan Danchen smiled and tapped Lu Pingan's nose, but she also believed that Lu Pingan was right. He was indeed not a normal person.

His brain is easy to use and his thoughts move faster than others. Most people can't keep up with his thoughts. He is a genius.

He is also in excellent health, and his physical strength and energy are so strong that he often feels a little distressed, wishing he could grab his best friend to take the heat for him.

So if he is a normal person, then who are others?

"Okay, I forgive you."

With this in mind, Yan Danchen continued to rest his head on Lu Ping'an's shoulder and continued talking about the script.

"Twenty Again" is a female-led movie with good box-office potential. The key is that overseas copyright sales will be very good. It is an easy-to-remake movie and has excellent profit prospects.

This was what Lu Pingan said. Yan Danchen felt that whatever Lu Pingan said was what she said, and she didn't pay much attention to it anyway.

Now she only focuses on one thing, and that is how to play her well.

This film was still difficult for her.

You have to use your young body to show your old soul, and then show your youthfulness.

This degree needs to be grasped carefully.

Yan Danchen found it very interesting and was very willing to challenge it.

Of course, the pressure must be great.

After all, Lu Pingan's identity is different now. If the performance fails, it will not only be a problem for his career, but also for more, such as the relationship between the two.

Facing the dazzling Lu Ping'an, Yan Danchen once again felt low self-esteem and a sense of crisis.

As if sensing Yan Danchen's thoughts, Lu Pingan took her in his arms and said:

"Act well and don't feel pressured. When this one is over, I will give you a more intense spy drama next time."

"Ping An. Aren't you afraid that I can't control it?"

"If you fail in your performance, go home and take care of the backyard for me. If you can't be an actor in front of the stage, then work behind the scenes, in a theater, in a company, or in a fried chicken restaurant. You can participate in any one you want, don't be afraid."

One sentence made Yan Danchen's eyes wet instantly.

After five years of dating, Lu Pingan would never mention letting her participate in his career.

If you give a movie theater as a gift, it’s just a gift. It’s mostly a gift.

Yan Danchen would never make excessive demands on this point.

But today is different. Lu Ping An officially said it today.

Yan Danchen naturally understood what this meant.

So Yan Danchen stopped reading the script, hugged Lu Ping'an tightly, and cried uncontrollably.

Lu Pingan took the opportunity to joke: "This is not okay. You have to pay attention to your manners. If you are seen by the concubines in the harem, where will you put your face as the empress of the palace?"

Snapped!

Yan Danchen raised his head with tears in his eyes, bit his lip, looked angrily, and waved his small palm again.

But she was happy, and Lu Ping'an's subtle hints had no effect.

She only felt that Lu Ping'an was just making her happy.

This is called fun, she likes it.

So he burst into laughter soon.

Lu Ping'an also knew that Yan Danchen didn't really realize it, but he was not in a hurry.

Since it is subtle, what is needed is long-term sustainability.

The difficulty lies in the length.

I believe that after hinting for several years, Yan Danchen will be more accepting when the answer is revealed.

During the fight, the script slipped and set, and another major earthquake was avoided.

. . . . . . .

On the morning of August 28, Huabiao Awards called again and asked Lu Pingan whether he would attend the award ceremony that evening.

The Huabiao Award said that Lu Ping'an didn't have to come if he was busy, but of course it was best to come.

This attitude is different from before.

Previously, a notice meant that you had to go.

Now we can discuss it and don’t go.

Hu Qingquan said that this kind of treatment shows that Lu Pingan has really reached a certain status.

Having said that, Lu Ping'an has nothing else to do, so he must go.

Lu Ping'an's "Wonderful Night" received 6 nominations for the Huabiao Awards this time.

The more important nominations are for Outstanding Director, Outstanding Children's Film and Outstanding Actor, and the rest are miscellaneous.

As one of the members of this year's jury, Principal Zhang said that he had great hope of winning the award and asked him to prepare his acceptance speech.

Lu Pingan nodded to express his understanding, and then the topic turned to other places.

For Han Sanpin, Hu Qingquan and others, it doesn't matter at all whether Lu Ping'an wins the Huabiao Award or not.

In other words, compared with the topic of running for Olympic director, the Huabiao Award is just a younger brother.

Regarding the election for the Olympic Director, 13 teams have been announced for the formal election.

Lu Ping'an and his Xingchen team are one of them.

The first round of elections will begin in mid-September.

"The Olympics will start in half a month. Are you ready, Ping An?"

Outside the Huabiao Conference, the first question Principal Zhang asked when he saw Lu Pingan was this question.

Hu Qingquan has asked this question many times before.

Han Sanpin and Tian Zhuangzhuang also asked, as did Jiang Wen, his uncle, and everyone who cared about him, more than once.

The level of enthusiasm and concern is really not comparable to that of a lazy guy like Lu Ping An.

To be honest, Lu Ping'an was indeed a little annoyed, but he wouldn't show it.

"Ready."

Lu Ping'an answered seriously.

"That's the great honor of publishing a single genealogy and the Qingming First Incense. It's worth more than ten Palme d'Or Oscars for you! Be safe and be well prepared."

Principal Zhang said, looked around, then leaned closer and said, "To tell you the truth, based on what I know now, there is a high probability that this time it is for real, not just a formality. You can talk to your Uncle Dong about the details. , if you can really advance to the next round, he will be more active than you."

"All right."

Lu Pingan nodded and said he would find time to chat.

But he won't actually go.

Pretending to be an active participant is enough.

Don't think about anything else.

It's that simple.

Soon the Huabiao Awards will begin.

In the end, Lu Pingan's "Wonderful Night" won four corner awards: "Market Development Award", "Outstanding Children's Film Award", "Outstanding Feature Film Technology Award" and "Excellent Digital Film Technology Award".

After all, "Wonderful Night" is too commercial and entertainment, and it cannot be justified in winning a major award. How do you watch these feature films and literary films on the scene?

Lu Ping'an expressed his understanding and this was all expected.

Hu Qingquan also won an award this time, beating Zhang Weiping and winning the "Outstanding Producer Award" together with Han Sanpin.

Hu Qingquan is very happy, this is his first mainland trophy.

The happiest person tonight was undoubtedly Riku Taro.

"Kekexili" was deeply involved in plagiarism, but it still won the Outstanding Director Award and the Outstanding Feature Film Award.

Lu Ping An did not comment on this and ran away directly after the award ceremony.

News about the Huabiao Award that night was published online.

In regular reports, the controversial part did not accidentally focus on Riku Taro.

Some netizens summarized 21 bloody questions about "Kekexili" and questioned the fairness of the award ceremony.

Some media have once again begun various comparisons with directors after the fifth generation.

Among them, it is inevitable to compare Lu Ping'an and Lu Tailang.

But none of the above sounds can make much waves.

The former can only make the masses' eyes sharp.

The latter made some comparisons, causing ridicule from netizens, and then quickly ended the ridiculous comparison.

After all, what level is Lu Ping'an at now? Do you want to force Lu Tailang to be on par with him, without fear of being laughed at?

Of course, there are still people who will make some fuss about film artistry.

And what they did was not actually targeting Lu Ping'an alone.

It is more aimed at the gradual commercialization of the mainland film market.

There are old-fashioned people in every era.

But not many people will care.

First of all, the atmosphere of commercial movies is becoming more and more serious, marketization is becoming more and more accepted, and the old guys in literature and art can no longer stop the trend.

Secondly, at 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, news came from Italy that Lu Ping'an's "Brokeback Mountain" was shortlisted for the main competition of the Venice Film Festival.
