China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

That night, the crew of "Black Hole" held a celebration banquet. Chen Kun actually came, and everyone drank together until the early morning.

During this period, Lu Ping An issued a red envelope of RMB 500 per person to all those who participated in the project. The total issued was less than RMB 10,000, which was just a drop compared to the income of RMB 4 million.

After the celebration banquet, Lu Ping'an still took care of the hotel and took a series of covert measures so that a bunch of drunk guys could sleep peacefully.

After cleaning up, Chen Kun came up and asked, "How are you and Yan Danchen developing?"

Lu Ping'an turned his head and blinked, and saw Chen Kun with a gossipy face.

"Let's face it, I'm very strict with my mouth."

"...Okay."

"How far have we come?"

"You are such a gossip."

"Yan Danchen is my classmate. I care about human nature."

"Okay, just watch a movie."

"Then you have to step up. I'm telling you, a lot of people have a crush on her. Do you know that you need to step up your offensive?"

As Chen Kun said, he hooked Lu Ping'an's shoulder to share some tips, but only now did he realize, "You seem to have grown a lot taller."

Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "Yeah, it's 183 now."

"Not bad, not bad." Chen Kun nodded repeatedly, "She likes tall people."

"how do you know?"

"Of course our four-year classmates know about it."

Chen Kun looked matter-of-fact, but now that he was drunk, he didn't know that his eyes had started to wander.

Lu Ping'an took the opportunity and asked, "Why do you want to help me?"

Chen Kun directly gave Lu Ping'an a thumbs up and replied: "Because you are a director and will become a great director in the future. I must embrace your thigh. What do you think, will you give me a chance?"

I don’t know if these words were drunk or sincere.

Lu Ping'an didn't care. Friends are easy to bargain with, so he also gave a thumbs up: "You are a good actor. Of course I want to cooperate if there is a chance."

"Honest enough!"

Chen Kun praised it, and then started to vomit.

After settling Chen Kun, Lu Pingping returned to his room to take a shower.

The cold water washed away the remaining odor of alcohol and made him completely sober.

He was thinking that he and Chen Kun had only met once, but now they were calling themselves brothers. It was just like Huang Bo said, once you become famous, you will be surrounded by good people.

Of course Chen Kun is good and Lu Ping'an has no objection to him.

Lu Ping'an only felt that he had to stay clear-headed in the future and do everything at his own pace, otherwise it would be too easy to get lost in all aspects. . .

. . . . . . .

In the next few days, Lu Pingan was still busy.

In the morning, I went to the special effects company to finish the HP commercial and then sent it to the Beijing Film Studio for copying. After finishing it, I continued to focus on post-production. In the evening, I went to Burger King and then played basketball with Zhou Yiwei. Thanks to a good body, I didn't feel tired at all at the end of the day.

Xingchen Film and Television has also begun to recruit people, one front desk and one accountant. The standard salary will be set aside for now. Xiang Guoqiang, introduced by Uncle Liao of the bank, is affiliated and any legal issues will be handled by him.

Ning Hao is continuing to wander around, and Lu Ping'an doesn't care about him.

The remaining time will be spent on various interviews, trying to at least not be late, especially for the Sixth Princess and CCTV.

Interviews in this era actually don’t have much pressure.

Especially on CCTV, they basically don’t ask any particularly personal questions.

Regarding Lu Ping An's family affairs, he would not ask unless it was for a few specific programs, and Lu Ping An was not qualified to appear on those programs for the time being.

Although Lu Ping'an has won the Palme d'Or in the short film and looks famous, in reality professional people also know that his celebrity status is not as high as imagined. CCTV only labels him as a "student with great potential". Not looking at it as a real director.

Lu Pingan understands that short films are short films after all, not mainstream. Only when he has achieved success in feature films will he truly enter the mainstream.

A week passed quickly. During the week, Yan Danchen had been watching over the crew. Finally, it was said that filming would officially start in two weeks. The title of the film was also known, it was "The Love of the Tang Dynasty".

Lu Ping'an also learned a lot about current TV dramas from her.

The biggest feature is that the pace is slow, but the production is not lacking in sophistication.

It is said that the entire "Love History of the Tang Dynasty" will take more than five months to shoot. The supporting role of Yan Danchen will have a two-month schedule, but it is possible to finish filming in advance and leave.

Yan Danchen said coquettishly that the past two months happened to be the hottest time, and the sun was so hot that Lu Ping'an might not even recognize her when she comes back.

This was when Lu Ping An was free and he went to visit the class. Of course Lu Ping An agreed, but he had to wait until the big movie was released.

Another person who wanted Lu Pingan to visit the cast was Jiang Wen. He was planning to join the cast of "The Gun" when he came back from Cannes. He said that filming would start in about a month, and that Lu Pingan would come to Guiyang if he was not busy.

Hey, what fun is there in Guiyang at this time? It was still troublesome in the past, and besides, he didn't have much interest in Lu Chuan.

But Lu Pingan still agreed, who allowed himself to be his student.

The short film "Black Hole" is also being played this week. Zhang Songwen once again received many invitations from agents and companies, including Sister Hua, but Zhang Songwen said that he had to wait until he finished his junior year.

By June 1st, the post-production of the "The Tuner" movie was completely completed.

[Congratulations on completing the post-production of "The Tuner". The total completion rate is 102%. Since the super reward for this work has been distributed, it will not change.]

"Why are you reporting it again? That's not right. Didn't you say 101% last time? Why is it 102% now?"

[In feature film and television works, post-production has a greater impact on the completion of the work, so it is included in the statistics]

"That is to say, when a long-form film and television drama is completed, the reward will be given in advance, but it is not the final reward. It has to be accepted one last time, and then it will be determined whether it is an upgraded reward based on the situation, right?"

【Yes】

"Understood."

Goldfinger is designed to prevent stuck bugs.

Fortunately, Lu Ping'an is reliable.

But in this way, he is more certain about getting super rewards in the future.

Post-production can also affect the final score. Now that it has "X" special effects, many film and television works can improve their scores, right?

Lu Ping'an thinks he can try to put more effort into special effects next time.

The production of "The Tuner" was completed, and Han Sanpin came over again after hearing the news. After watching the finished film, he spoke highly of it, and then the topic turned to the issue of finalizing the film.

In fact, if "The Tuner" had been produced a month earlier, it would have been able to participate in the non-competition screening in Venice.

At that time, the Venice Film Festival will be used to sell films.

But now, unless Lu Ping An wants to delay it until next year's Berlin Film Festival, the only way to do it is to release it normally.

After discussing with Hu Qingquan, Lu Ping'an decided that it didn't matter, because the studios interested in big movies were still there, and he had already released the news when he was in Cannes, so he didn't lack the platform of the film festival.

So the next question is when will it be released.

"Mr. Han, are there any blockbusters during the summer vacation?"

Lu Ping'an asked directly, and Han Sanpin didn't hide anything and started helping the staff directly.

"There are two blockbusters in July, Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Soccer" is scheduled for the 12th, Hollywood's "At the Gate" is scheduled for the 21st, and "Pearl Harbor" is released on August 10th. These are movies that are not easy to mess with. It is best to Don’t touch it.”

Lu Ping'an expressed his approval. "Shaolin Soccer" aside, "Pearl Harbor" took over 100 million in box office this year, which is a cliff-like crush.

So don't touch it if you can.

But when it comes to "Shaolin Soccer", Lu Ping'an couldn't help but gossip: ""Shaolin Soccer" will be released on the 12th next month. It's already very close. Why didn't I see the promotion?"

Han Sanpin looked at Lu Ping'an's gossipy face and smiled and said: "You have also heard that it is difficult to say about this film at the moment. There may be variables, but we cannot consider these when making plans. We have to think bigger. And , stop asking about this matter."

"I understand." Lu Ping'an stopped gossiping about this issue, and then asked, "Is it too late to release it before July?"

"There's enough time. There aren't many films in the Beijing Film Studio right now. They're very empty and they can be copied very quickly. In fact, I also recommend releasing it at the end of June. You're currently in the limelight, so it's a good time."

Han Sanpin continued to suggest,

"Then the end of June will be fine, while the Palme d'Or is still hot, we can harvest a wave."

Lu Ping'an made a decision.

Han Sanpin then flipped up the calendar and said, "I think it will be June 22. I have enough time. In addition, there is a good movie on July 7, Feng Gong's "Who Says I Don't Care". The quality of the movie is also good. We also voted, you two had better stagger each other, and don’t hit your own people.”

"Okay, that's it."

Things were settled quickly, and the movie "The Tuner" will be released on June 22.

There is no need to worry about publicity and safety.

China Film will be responsible for the copying, so you don’t have to worry about publicity. The director’s new film just won the Palme d’Or, and it’s also a film adaptation of the Silver Bear. This weight will be enough in an era when there will be several times more commercial films in a few years. .

After the general matter was settled, Lu Ping'an and Han Sanpin drank tea for a while.

During the chat, he learned that it turned out that the project of "Hero" had been approved and was planned to be launched on July 15.

"The cast of this film is extremely luxurious. You will know how awesome it is when it is announced."

Han Sanpin sold it out and did not mention the title of the film, only saying that it was a blockbuster.

This made Hu Qingquan very curious, but he didn't say anything. Lu Ping'an also showed a yearning look and cooperated, which made Han Sanpin very proud: "After the filming is started, I will have the opportunity to take you to the set to see it."

"That's great, thank you, Mr. Han."

Lu Pingan perfectly plays the role of a humble and studious student.

After the matter was settled, Lu Ping'an then talked about watching a movie at Summit Entertainment.

Han Sanpin has known for a long time that it is unclear how much the "Tuner" movie can make at the box office, but they are actually very experienced in how much overseas copyrights can be sold, so he supports it with both hands.

After chatting, Lu Ping An left China Film and went home.

Everyone on the crew was notified one by one about the scheduled schedule, and then they started thinking about the next project.

Currently, short films are still the first choice for him.

The production cycle is short, the cost is low, the harvest is large, and the efficiency is high.

Just what to shoot is a question.

First of all, there really aren't many short films that he remembers.

Secondly, if the next short film does not have the potential to compete for awards, this will have some impact.

So he thought about it, dug through his memory, and wrote countless plot outlines. It wasn't until the afternoon that he identified three short films that seemed to have won the award through Goldfinger.

The only problem is, all three are animated shorts.

This needs to be done by professionals.

Fortunately, time is not urgent. Venice will not be able to catch up this year, but there is still half a year before the application deadline for Berlin next year.

His plan is to make three short films to compete in Berlin, Oscars and Venice next year.

He is indeed interested in the three major short film Grand Slams in Europe, or the four major short film Grand Slams in the world.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if you can't win the top prize. Anyway, the cost is only so much. It's the best if you can win the prize. It doesn't matter if you can't win it. There are only so many short films in your mind. Once you use them up, you will never make short films again.

When the matter was settled, Uncle Liao from the bank happened to call: The copyright funds had arrived!

Lu Ping'an immediately took the car keys and went out. . .

It's too unsentimental, forget it, the previous chapter has been changed.
