China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

The film has entered the preparatory stage, thanks to the current team of Xingchen, which is extremely strong and energetic, so the preparations are all very efficient.

Calculating the time, we can start shooting in about ten days.

During this period, various matters such as setting and casting will be completed.

In terms of casting, Lu Pingan first visited Mr. Li Xuejian in person.

Li Xuejian knew that Lu Ping'an was coming to visit, and his family was fully prepared.

Although Li Xuejian is currently extremely successful as an actor, he is indeed short of money due to an illness.

So should I act or not?

After reading the script, Comrade Li said in a hoarse voice: "It's a good script. It's very suitable for me, but am I not worth a million?"

These words made the wife beside him stare straight-eyed.

Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "Old artist is worth the price."

However, Li Xuejian shook his head and continued to refuse. In the end, the two reached an agreement, one million, covering the salary of Li Xuejian and his wife Yu Haidan, who is also an actress.

Yu Haidan’s professional abilities are also pretty good.

In addition, Lao Li's body really needs someone to take care of him.

The packaging is indeed appropriate.

The matter was finalized, and then another actor was cast. Lu Pingan initially targeted Li Chengru, but he was unavailable.

This big boss is very cool, he acts in his spare time, and there is a crew available at any time.

When Lu Pingan contacted him, he had just joined a certain crew for three days, and he would not quit if he quit. Men in the capital cannot keep their word, so he said it was a pity, and then agreed to cooperate again next time.

Li Chengru couldn't come, so Lu Ping'an turned to Zheng Shaoqiu, but it didn't work either. Qiu Guan said he was no longer in the spotlight, and Lu Ping'an knew that he would come out again in a few years to film a TV series with the main theme.

If you don't come, don't come. Lu Ping'an had to activate his backup plan and contact Guorong. As a result, Guorong was not available either. He said that he and Han Hong would have some event to host.

So in the end, Lu Pingan contacted Hua Tsai, the third substitute.

Andy was surprised when he received the call: "Director Lu?"

"Brother Hua, it's me."

"Wow, I was wondering why my left eyelid keeps twitching today. It turns out something great is about to happen."

"Haha, Brother Hua, it's boring for you to do this too."

"No, you are a big Hollywood director. If I can work with you, I will be really proud of myself."

"Don't be like this. I'll be embarrassed if you say it again. Let's just talk about it. There is a character I want you to play. It will start filming in ten days."

"So urgent?"

"It's okay, because I just decided to make this film yesterday."

"Wow, it's really Director Lu's style. Okay, you can be in the capital. I'll come over in the afternoon."

"OK!"

No need to think about it, he is currently the top director in the country, and the story sounds really interesting, with humanistic care and a test of acting skills. Only Silly Que would refuse it directly.

In the afternoon, Andy and his party arrived as scheduled.

Li Xuejian was also at Xingchen Company at this time.

After meeting, Lu Pingan directly gave me the script.

"This is a story about life and death."

The two protagonists in the film are both set to be 50 years old, the age when they know their destiny, but they both encountered serious life-or-death illnesses, which will also make the plot more intriguing.

In fact, Andy is 45 years old and Li Xuejian is 52 years old.

But when they are together, they are at least 10 years apart.

If it is set to 50 years old, Li Xuejian is a little older, but he has been a car repairman all his life, and it is normal for him to grow old due to overwork. Andy is a millionaire, and he maintains his land number. It is not a big problem to be younger.

Of course, there will be a wave of makeup in the film. For example, after chemotherapy, Andy will look much older than at the beginning.

At this point, both of them have acting skills, so it's not a big problem.

Lu Pingan asked: "Is it okay if I want to shave my head?"

Hua Zai and Li Xuejian looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Okay!"

Needless to say, Hua Jai ​​immediately agreed.

The salary is 12 million, market price.

As a result, plus Lu Ping An's reduced remuneration and production costs, the overall cost has reached 100 million.

If you subtract advertising sponsorships and the like, it won't be easy to get back the money.

But it doesn't matter if the road is safe.

The main purpose of this film is the "three battles" and the subsequent eating of one fish and two.

So it only costs 100 million, so it’s not a big problem.

The two protagonists have been decided, and Andy and Li Xuejian will go to the hospital from tomorrow to eat and sleep together to experience life.

They are all good actors.

During dinner in the evening, Lu Ping'an found out that in order to catch up with his cooperation, Andy had pushed forward a lot of planned itineraries.

Lu Pingan said: "We will cooperate more in the future."

Then there are the supporting actors.

The supporting male characters in the original version also had a large role.

The first thing Lu Pingan thought of was Zhang Songwen.

My brother, for so many years, except for the beginning, he has always been a minor player in his own movies. This time, it’s time for him to be given a big shot.

He is much stronger now than he was at the same time in the original time and space.

Zhang Songwen can completely catch it.

Just talking about Zhang Songwen, he should still be filming "Soldier Assault" in the Kunming military camp.

But there aren’t many scenes, he’s just a captain of the Red Third Company, and now he’s finished filming, and he’s helping out on the set.

Lu Ping An immediately recalled the company with just one phone call.

When he returned to the capital the next day, Liu Qianqian happened to return to the capital to rest after running for a period of time.

At the same time, Ning Hao and Huang Bo were all available on Monday, but Bao Qiang was still playing Xu Sanduo without Bao Qiang.

So a group of brothers started a hot pot party.

Then in the evening, everyone ate hot pot in the courtyard while waiting for "The Condor" to start.

There was a small interview before the premiere of "The Condor", and it happened that Liu Qianqian was asked, "Some people say that you don't look like Little Dragon Girl. What do you think?"

Liu Qianqian on TV talks with great depth, reason and restraint.

He brought out the age, image, and martial arts of the original work, and also mentioned the character's mentality, and then extended it to "every actor and character has a similar and different side".

Mature, intellectual, cultured, and beautiful.

As a result, looking back, Xiao Longnu and Lu Pingan were fighting over beef in the hot pot in reality.

Liu Qianqian: "Let go, I put it in."

Lu Ping'an: "Pinch it again!"

Liu Qianqian: "Why are you so shameless? Do you want to try your hand at blowing the bottle?"

Lu Ping'an: "I'm still afraid of you, Bozi, open the bottle!"

Everyone was yelling and hooting, Liu Qianqian laughed and gritted her teeth, and begged for mercy in the next second: "I'll boil the beef for everyone!"

One second he was full of gangsterism, the next second he was a coward.

But on TV, the fairy-like Little Dragon Girl appears.

Two figures intertwined, but unfortunately no one took a photo of this world-famous painting.

At night, Lu Pingping stayed at Lizi's house, which he hadn't seen for a long time.

Long time no see, I miss you very much.

After the passion, the two hugged each other and talked.

Lu Ping'an said: "You can make a guest appearance in my new film, playing the role of a daughter who has not seen her divorced father for a long time."

Yan Danchen has "Peak 3", so if Li Zi is a guest star in this film.

This can be regarded as Director Lu’s success.

Li Zi is 30 years old this year, but she has taken good care of herself. It is no problem to act as a 25-year-old, and it will be no problem to hold a child.

After hearing this, Li Zi looked up at Lu Ping An and said movedly: "Ping An, is this written specifically for me?"

After Lu Pingan took the initiative to prepare a gift for Li Zi's father at the end of last year, Li Zi's feelings for Lu Pingan deepened.

Now that Lu Ping'an has mentioned her father again, it will inevitably make her feel that this is a scene specially written for her.

Lu Pingan also realized that Lizi might have misunderstood, but he did not deny it: "What's wrong? I didn't see him last time?"

"Well, I wanted to go last time, but I didn't make it."

"Why?"

"Said he was out of town."

"Then let's talk to him on the phone."

"I think dad may not be doing well, but he doesn't want to say more."

"Then maybe, it's really not a good life. Men are very proud of themselves."

As he said that, Lu Ping'an accidentally added, "I'll go with you next time."

After saying that, before she could regret it, Lizi pounced on her: "Really?"

"It's fake, I regret it, is that okay?"

"Of course not!"

Lizi's mood became extremely beautiful.

But he quickly said, "You are so busy, so there is no need to go, but I will accept your offer."

As she said that, Lizi hugged Lu Ping'an tightly, with tears in her eyes.

Just like Yan Danchen last time, what Lu Pingan unintentionally revealed this time was further recognition of Li Zi.

In the current situation where Lu Ping An is becoming more and more popular, such a statement is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for women.

Lu Ping'an only thinks that he can film "The Wind" next year

A week later, "Bucket List" completed investment.

Two days later, the Star Production Base.

"Bucket List" is officially launched.
