China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

On September 8, Xingchen officially announced the "1937" project.

There was no mention of the shooting mode or a brief plot, but it was officially announced that such a project is being prepared.

The media immediately paid attention.

Previously, everyone mistakenly confused "Lu" with "Lu".

After Oolong's clarification, everyone actually felt regretful.

Now Lu Ping An is about to shoot. Although the gust of wind has passed, everyone is still looking forward to it.

After all, Lu Pingan is a famous international director.

Apart from anything else, the quality of the movie alone is worth looking forward to.

Of course there are still extreme voices.

Some people felt that Lu Ping An had no sense of social responsibility before, but now that the film is about to be filmed, some people say that Lu Ping An is just showing off.

There will always be some people in society who add a lot of fun to life.

Lu Ping'an didn't care and continued to do things.

The official announcement of the project also attracted the attention of people in the industry.

Riku Taro was very hurt. His "Nanjing Nanjing" had just been killed for unknown reasons. He felt that this was probably a matter of seniority.

So he felt very depressed when he saw the news about Lu Ping'an, and then he wrote the word "die" and decided to continue to fight.

Other investors are also very active, and many want to seek cooperation.

But Lu Ping'an said that this is an experimental film and does not care about the box office. The future box office is also unknown. If you really want to vote, you can give it a small share, but don't regret it.

Movies that compete for awards don't need to be as "wasteful" as before. Currently, China Film Group is almost enough, and the rest is just a transaction of favors.

In the end, "1937" released another 15% share in addition to China Film's 15%. The original price was 15 million, but it sold for 30 million.

The day after the investment invitation ended, news came from Venice.

Jia Zhangke won the Golden Lion Award at this year's Venice Film Festival for "The Good Man".

This is his third nomination for the Golden Lion Award, and he finally won it this time.

Jia Zhangke officially became famous on the international stage.

The Golden Lion Award for two consecutive years has been won by Chinese filmmakers, which has once again raised the industry's expectations for Chinese films.

Lu Pingan and other domestic filmmakers were immediately interviewed. Jia Zhangke had previously expressed support for some of the controversies in "Brokeback Mountain" and also congratulated Lu Pingan for winning the award.

So this time Lu Ping'an naturally reciprocated the favor and congratulated him.

After this Venice show ends, Hu Qingquan will also come back.

He told some situations on the phone that the three major parties in Europe are very interested in Lu Ping'an's new movie. When he returns to China this time, people from the three major parties will come.

Why are you here? Of course, you want to grab the premiere rights.

The three major European companies are already in a competitive relationship. With "Brokeback Mountain", Lu Ping'an is now a well-known figure in the international art film industry, and he has naturally become a favorite on the main table.

Lu Ping'an said it was no problem, then turned around and continued working.

On the 12th, Fan Xiaopang, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, came to Xingchen.

Since the last meeting in March, Fan Xiaopang has contacted him probably every half month.

Fan Xiaopang still wants to join Xingchen and makes no secret of it.

Regarding this gas-guzzling girl, Lu Pingan's attitude is firm, that is, the cooperation is limited to "Star You". It is impossible to join Xingchen. If the other party is stalking, "Star You" can also be replaced. .

After Fan Xiaopang knew what Lu Pingan meant, he stopped talking about it.

In the following months, she still contacted Lu Pingan from time to time.

I thought everything made sense, but I didn’t expect Fan Xiaopang to come to the company today and ask proactively:

"Director Lu, how about we open a studio together?"

Lu Ping'an's mind quickly turned away.

He asked directly: "Is the situation settled?"

Fan Xiaopang smiled and said: "As expected, I can't hide it from you. I met someone a few days ago."

Like the original time and space, Fan Xiaopang has met Mu Xiaoguang, the boss of Wanwan, and is currently discussing studio matters.

As Fan Xiaopang said, Lu Ping'an was also making plans in his mind.

In his opinion, does Fan Xiaopang have high value?

It looks very high, but if you don't do anything, it's actually just like that.

The profit generated is actually not as much as the profit he made from two or three big-budget movies in Hollywood.

With two big-budget Hollywood movies, Lu Ping An can earn at least several billion yuan.

For Fan Xiaopang, who does not evade taxes, he will have to earn the billions after 2014.

And if you want to make good use of her, Xingchen doesn't have that ability for the time being, so you need someone like Mu Xiaoguang.

And there is a high probability that a big boss like Mu Xiaoguang will not join Xingchen.

Therefore, Lu Ping'an's attitude towards Fan Xiaopang is consistent. Since he doesn't like her, he will only cooperate with "Star You".

But if we cooperate as a studio, some things can be done.

First of all, the resources provided will not be too many. With Mu Xiaoguang here, the basic operation does not require a master like Lu Ping'an.

If Lu Ping'an takes action as soon as he comes up, Mu Xiaoguang will stop messing around.

Therefore, Lu Ping'an only needs to take action at the critical moment of Fan Xiaopang's development. For example, "Star You" can help her secure her position as the most valuable actress in TV dramas. After providing resources, she can also maximize the subsequent benefits.

For example, this is the case with Liu Qianqian, and now Yan Danchen and Li Zi are also like this.

The two movies in the summer have enriched the two of them. These days, their incomes are very high. Lu Ping'an has shares in both of their studios, which means that the waste water does not go to outsiders.

In addition, the studio format can also stop losses at any time.

Lu Ping An cannot guarantee that Fan Xiaopang will always abide by the law in the future, but it can withdraw in time when something happens. This is as long as it is clearly stated and written at the beginning of the cooperation, and then supervision is strengthened.

If it really happens, Lu Ping'an will definitely fall out.

But in this case, the other party may not agree.

It doesn't matter if you don't agree, it's not something he forced anyway.

So after overall consideration, Lu Pingan nodded: "It can be considered."

Fan Xiaopang was very happy after hearing this, and then talked about some things he had discussed with Mu Xiaoguang.

Generally speaking, it is about how to allocate shares, what to do after establishing a studio, and how to deal with Huayi.

The most important thing is how to deal with Huayi.

The two sides are currently at a bit of a stalemate, and Fan Xiaopang is afraid that there will be trouble in the future.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Later, after Fan Xiaopang set up a studio, Huayi exposed the scandal so much that Fan Xiaopang has been on the road to black and red.

But this is not easy to avoid. Fan Xiaopang is not a pure and pure person. To tell the truth, what can you do?

So if we want to solve this problem, the best way is to involve Huayi.

When we become a community of interests, sometimes things can be solved easily.

It doesn't matter if you really can't figure it out. Black and red are also red. Without "black", maybe Fan Xiaopang won't be that popular.

However, it is obvious that Fan Xiaopang and Huayi have issues not only related to interests, but also seem to have emotional issues.

Lu Ping'an had a dark look on his face.

Seeing this, Fan Xiaopang's expression became aggrieved: "I was young when I entered this industry. I had no money and no power. If I want to get ahead, what other choice do I have? Not everyone is like Liu Qianxi."

"Stop, stop, I'm not interested in your past, I only care about the future."

Lu Ping'an raised his hand to stop Fan Xiaopang's weak attack. How could he not know that one of the biggest purposes of recruiting him to join the group was to embrace himself, a big tree in the Beijing circle, to block the pressure from Huayi.

But she obviously thought too much.

To Lu Pingan, she is just business.

So he said directly, "Now you know my attitude. Since you have come this far, you might as well take a few more steps and try to communicate with others. Let's sit down and talk. If the matter can be solved satisfactorily, then It’s the best, what do you think?”

After hearing this, Fan Xiaopang also knew what Lu Ping'an meant.

I feel a little regretful in my heart, but that's it. After all, Lu Ping'an is not stupid for being able to get to this point.

So she regained her expression and said, "Okay, I'll communicate first, hoping that Director Lu will help when necessary."

"No matter what the outcome is, it will not affect the cooperation with "Star You"."

Lu Ping'an also expressed his position.

Fan Xiaopang understood the truth and was not as confused about the situation as expected, so he had to make some promises.

Anyway, Lu Ping An is not at a loss, she was originally chosen for "Star You", it was just a one-time collaboration or an in-depth cooperation.

After the conversation was over, Fan Xiaopang again brought up the matter of treating guests in the evening.

Treating guests is not just about eating.

But Lu Pingan still refused: "Not tonight."

"Those words again, Director Lu, do you really like to avoid me so much?"

Fan Xiaopang looked sad and full of charm. If there was a fish tank in the office at this time, the fish would probably sink to the bottom.

But Lu Ping'an didn't hesitate at all: "I have something to do tonight."

"What about tomorrow?"

"I won't be in the capital starting tomorrow because I have to film a movie."

"It's the Anti-Japanese War drama. Can I make a guest appearance?"

Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "You can't act."

".Why?"

"Because he was going to be raped, humiliated, killed, and thrown naked into a mass grave."

After hearing this, Fan Xiaopang completely rejected the idea of ​​making a cameo.

Fan Xiaopang left in a pretty good mood. After a while, Liu Qianqian came.

Today is the day the two of them agreed to celebrate their birthdays.

It was her birthday in August, and Lu was very busy at that time, so I made an appointment to make up for it today.

And because Ning Hao and others had been there for the birthday, it was just Lu Ping'an and her this time.

Liu Qianqian was a little happy about this, but unfortunately, as soon as she arrived at Xingchen Company, Lu Ping'an and a group of people came out in a hurry.

"Brother Ping'an, what's wrong?"

"Sissi, please go home first. There's something going on on the set. We'll talk about it later."

Lu Pingan spoke very quickly, and after finishing speaking, he and the staff got off the elevator.
