China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

"Lu Ping'an's "1937" wins the Berlin Golden Bear Award"

"After 14 years since 1993, a Chinese film has won the Golden Bear Award again."

“Chinese films swept the top two awards at this Berlin Film Festival”

"Lu Ping An's acceptance speech is still unique."

After it enters late night in Berlin, a new day in the country has just begun.

Various reports about the Berlin Film Festival have also begun to sweep through the entertainment and social pages.

Among them, the most attention-grabbing works are naturally the Golden Bear Award-winning works and Lu Pingan himself.

However, the significance of the movie "1937" has been discussed by the official media and mass media a few days ago.

Everyone knows how awesome this movie is and how important its birth is, and everyone is looking forward to seeing it.

But in terms of freshness, it is naturally far inferior to Lu Ping'an's remarks about food.

Lu Pingan's acceptance speech was reprinted and broadcast by the television station early in the morning.

Everyone highly praised this unique patriotic sentiment.

The various delicacies he mentioned also quickly became popular.

Mutton from Northwest China, Wenchang chicken from Hainan, glutinous rice from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, morning tea from Xiangjiang

In this era where information transmission is still not very smooth.

This is the first time most people know, oh, it turns out these places also have these specialties.

CCTV's New Year news program also specifically mentioned this point.

Accompanied by the lyrical music of "Spring Festival Overture", 13 sets of "News Thirty" New Year reports specifically introduced the various delicacies from all over the world mentioned by Lu Ping'an.

At this point, Lu Ping'an's speech with Xiangjiang and Wanwan had an excellent effect, which is exactly what the country needs.

In the program, the location host specially interviewed people from Wanwan who were celebrating the New Year in the Mainland.

The little girl from Nawanwan was very pleasantly surprised: "I'm really surprised that Director Lu actually knows about oyster omelette. It's my favorite food. I feel homesick."

An old man wearing short sleeves and speaking with a Cantonese accent also accepted a street interview: "When Lu Sheng comes to Hong Kong, I can take him for morning tea."

The aunt in the icy and snowy Northeast held up a plate of blood sausage and smiled happily: "We are shaking and loving it."

People from all over the world talked about their specialties with smiles in front of the camera, injecting a special fragrance and vitality into this New Year festival.

Many people say that this year is indeed the Year of the Pig, so let’s talk about food.

But everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with this. On the contrary, they felt that CCTV was more down-to-earth than before.

CCTV leaders seem to have noticed this feedback and are wondering whether they should slightly adjust the style of certain programs in the future.

At this time, a CCTV host named Zhu Guangquan seemed to be inspired by something. He scratched his head and seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't seem to have thought of it. He was a little distressed.

Lu Ping An also received a lot of calls immediately, saying that he would send you some delicious food.

They are all friends whom I have met but are not very familiar with.

Northeastern Lao Zhao and Fan Wei also called. They called separately, but the purpose was the same. They said that they would invite Lu Ping'an to the Northeast to have a meal. They would have enough delicious food, much more than just blood sausage.

Lu Pingan expressed his gratitude, but declined because he really didn't have time.

At noon on the second day of the lunar month, Lu Pingan and everyone returned to the capital with honor.

His uncle and relatives had already arranged a late New Year's Eve dinner for him.

Lu Pingan took Zhang Songwen and others with him.

The protagonist is naturally Yan Danchen.

Lu Ping'an's girlfriend.

The uncle and the others were so happy that they gave him a big red envelope.

My sister-in-law smiled with sadness hidden in her face.

Then his eyes went out again and again, as if to say: Let's see how you end up!

Lu Ping'an didn't care, and kept eating braised pork, braised pig's trotters, and soy sauce beef. Even the green vegetables used for decoration were very delicious, and they were savoury with some wine. After all, this is what people eat!

After being away from home for so many days, he was really hungry.

Li Zi did make some Chinese food a few days ago, but the taste was not as fragrant as it is now.

Lu Ping'an felt that this was probably the taste of the motherland.

The second day of the Lunar New Year passed like this in a lively manner.

The next day, Lu Ping'an returned to the United States to continue filming and prepare for the Oscars.

A few days passed quickly, and Oscar was right around the corner.

It's already the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and tomorrow is the Oscars.

Wu Guohua arrived in the United States with the main creators.

Needless to say, the actors are all very excited about being on the big stage of the Oscars.

The people behind the scenes were also very happy.

Although most of them were unable to enter the venue.

But this is still their glory.

Wu Guohua also brought good news.

The domestic "Bucket List" finally exceeded the box office of 420 million yesterday, completing a record-breaking mission.

It took just two months, which is justifiable.

You must know that "The Golden Jacket" completed its two-month release a week ago, and the box office was only pegged at 262 million.

Lao Mouzi lost to Lu Pingan again.

And Lu Pingan not only won the box office competition, but also broke the record again. Although it was not a big breakthrough, it is enough to show that Lu Pingan has completely become the number one director in the mainland.

It’s just that I don’t have any special feelings about breaking records or anything like that.

On the contrary, he was still a little dissatisfied.

But he knows that there are many practical problems here.

Because the Spring Festival season is still a cool season right now.

The dividing line between the end of the Lunar New Year period and the end of the Lunar New Year period is very obvious, that is about a week before the Spring Festival.

From one week before the Spring Festival to two weeks after the Spring Festival, there is basically no box office during this period, because everyone is busy celebrating the New Year, and there are not many people on the streets and shopping malls of big cities.

Therefore, although "The Bucket List" was a smash hit at the box office in the first month, due to the "Golden Jacket" crowding out the film schedule, coupled with the increase in piracy in the later period, and the approaching Spring Festival, the box office growth fell off a cliff.

Therefore, it is just a broken record so far, and the new record is only about one million more than "Wonderful Night 1".

If the Spring Festival stall is already popular.

Not to mention 400 million, maybe 500 million or even 600 million cannot stop it.

So overall, Lu Ping'an feels like that.

And for him now, setting box office records doesn't actually have much appeal.

As the country becomes stronger, more and more movie theaters are opening.

The box office record of 400 million will not be enough in a few years.

Compared to breaking box office records or something.

Lu Ping'an was actually interested in bigger things.

For example, the achievement of detonating the Spring Festival stalls is very attractive.

In fact, the current summer season was detonated by him, but no one would admit it.

It would be different if the Spring Festival period was launched. After all, this is a very cool period, and it is not even a period at all.

Cheng Long of Time and Space pioneered the Spring Festival stalls. In Mainland China, it was "Avatar" that detonated the Spring Festival stalls in 2010. Later, Zhou Xingxing's "Journey to the West and Conquer the Demons" completely made everyone recognize the potential of the Spring Festival stalls.

If Lu Ping'an comes to detonate.

This is what the "first person" should do.

It's not very interesting to always compete with others in the same pot.

It would be interesting to create a market with some fierce films and make the cake bigger.

It would be more interesting to take a break from making the cake bigger and make movies in China that are humanistic and beneficial to society, such as "Bucket List" and "Twenty Again".

This kind of movie does not expect box office or anything else, but is based on a higher level of spiritual satisfaction.

There is no need to worry about foreign countries now. The box office of "Batman 2" alone is estimated to be unbreakable for him in his lifetime.

Therefore, as a director, he can export the story of his motherland overseas and win awards; he can also achieve eye-popping box office success in the field of international commercial films.

Being able to make a bigger cake in China can solidify the foundation of the industry, and you can also make movies that know that the box office may not be high but can bring benefits to society.

Lu Ping'an felt that this should be considered the real strength of the "number one".
