China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

On the 7th, "Kung Fu Panda" was released in all three places across the Taiwan Strait and had a good start.

Next, it will be released in South Korea and other places.

Finally, it was rotated to the North American Christmas release in December.

North America is the biggest profit point of "Kung Fu Panda".

So it can be said that from now on, a series of release actions around the world are paving the way for the release in North America.

At present, with the blessing of Oscars and many successful movies, and "Huan Tai" testing the commercial ability and reputation of Lu Pingan's original film, in fact, just using "Lu Pingan directed" as a promotion, the box office in North America will not be bad. Where did it go.

But just to be sure, Lu Pingan still put a small safety ring on "Kung Fu Panda".

Whether this insurance ring can take effect depends on August 10th.

There are still three days until the 10th. Before then, Lu Ping An will return home first.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Ping'an landed in Beijing and came to the dubbing team of "Yangtze River No. 7" with Zhou Xingxing behind him.

Last time Han Sanpin helped Zhou Xingxing lead the way, and Lu Ping'an readily invested 20 million.

If Zhou Xingxing wasn't also a famous director and had basically no shortage of other funds, Lu Ping'an would have been able to cover it for him.

But it's not bad now. When we get to the place, Zhou Xingxing and the leading actors come up to greet us.

Xu Jiao, who is no different from a boy, Zhang Yuqi, who has not yet become tough, and Zhou Xingxing's supporting characters.

Regarding Xu Jiao, Zhou Xingxing emphasized that her name was Jiao next to the female character when introducing her. Lu Pingan also showed appropriate surprise: "Girl?"

Then Zhou Xingxing laughed as if he had satisfied a great pleasure in his heart.

Later I found out that he had teased many people, including Han Sanpin.

Then Xu Jiao asked: "Director Lu, can you sign your autograph for me later? I like your "Kung Fu Panda" very much. Yesterday I also bought Po's doll."

Xu Jiao, who is now ten years old, has a milky voice and is very bold.

Lu Ping'an was also very kind: "Of course."

He still had a very good impression of Xu Jiao.

In the future, she will be a female top student, and at the same time she will be very clear-minded and educated.

Zhang Yuqi next to her is similar.

After Xu Jiao finished speaking, she brought Zhang Yuqi with her: "Director Lu, please sign one for sister Yuqi, too. She is also a fan of yours."

The kid is very familiar, but not annoying at all.

Zhang Yuqi on the side became shy when she was suddenly mentioned.

She doesn't have much relevant experience now.

She actually signed a contract with Zhou Xingxing in 2002, but so far she has only acted in one film, and it was a guest appearance, a very small role, in Xiao Yanzi's "Night in Shanghai", and now in "Yangtze River No. 7" It's the second one.

Therefore, when facing industry leaders, I tend to be shy and unable to let go.

It looked like this, but Lu Pingan knew that she was actually a tough woman.

So this is most likely an illusion and a pretense.

But so what, when they meet for the first time, Lu Ping'an just plays the role of a good person and loves to take care of the newcomers.

"Wow, you dare to say that in front of Director Zhou, you have the guts!" Lu Ping'an smiled and gave Xu Jiao a thumbs up, then looked at Zhang Yuqi, "I'll give you some signed discs later."

"Thank you, Director Lu."

Zhang Yuqi and Xu Jiao happily expressed their gratitude, but Zhang Yuqi actually only thought that Lu Ping'an said it in polite words and would not really do it.

After a brief chat, we visited the dubbing. The film is now almost complete. It started shooting in August last year and wrapped in November. Now we are doing the final dubbing post-production and special effects optimization.

At present, it seems that "Qizai" is more natural than the one in the original time and space. Lu Ping'an is very satisfied, and Zhou Xingxing is also quite satisfied with the star special effects.

We watched until five o'clock, and everyone ate together.

Zhang Yuqi's temperament as a Shandong girl was exposed at the dinner party.

Drinking is very refreshing.

But there is a limit to whether a good drinker is good.

At the end of the drink, when Lu Pingan and Han Sanpin were leaving, Zhang Yuqi and Zhou Xingxing bid farewell together. Zhang Yuqi was probably drunk, so she said to Lu Pingan: "Director Lu, don't forget to sign the disc. You're lying to me as a puppy." !”

It's amazing to speak a little bit of Mandarin with a little bit of Shandong accent.

Lu Pingan smiled and asked the assistant to send it to her tomorrow.

Zhang Yuqi also reacted, feeling that she had lost her composure, and then immediately had a pee~

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, but they didn't feel relieved.

The next day, the 8th, we went to the Olympic Organizing Committee safely early in the morning.

There is still one year left until next year's Olympic Games, and the Olympic Organizing Committee held a one-year anniversary countdown swearing-in ceremony.

This also means that Lu Ping'an will devote himself to the opening ceremony in a few days.

Fortunately, I can finish the things at hand these days.

After the swearing-in ceremony, Lu Ping'an went directly to the Star Center Building.

Today is also the day for the company’s headquarters to move into a new house.

The housewarming ceremony is not high-profile. It should respond to the call, not set off fireworks and firecrackers, and not be extravagant and wasteful.

So tonight the employees will just have a meal together and receive a red envelope, and it will be considered a holiday.

The car arrived next to the shopping mall on the ground floor of Star Center, and the flow of people was pretty good.

The entire shopping mall and building have actually been open for a month. At present, it seems that it is not as prosperous as Chaoyang Trade City, but in a few years, this place will also be the central business district.

Enter the parking lot, come to the exclusive parking space, get off the car, and open the exclusive elevator.

Go all the way up to the top.

When the door opened, Li Qiujun, the company's first employee and current administrative director, was already waiting with two young white-collar workers.

"Boss."

"Road guide"×2

"Qiujun, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Lu Pingan glanced at the two people and said to Li Qiujun.

"Just a little while."

Li Qiujun said and began to introduce the two people behind him.

One is an intern in the network department and the other is an intern in the publicity department.

According to the company's rules, the two of them will be rotated to Lu Ping An's office this month as front desk and assistant.

Lu Pingan nodded, quite satisfied.

Both of them are in good appearance and well-dressed in work clothes.

No wonder he was chosen by Li Qiujun to be the face of his level.

"Take me on a tour."

After the introduction, Lu Ping'an began to visit his exclusive floor.

Then, we saw the exclusive editing room, recording room, entertainment room, gym, reception room, library, exhibition hall, etc. one by one.

The entire first floor, which is several thousand square meters, belongs to Lu Pingping alone. This feeling is indeed great.

Go to your office again.

At this stage, Li Qiujun stopped following, and Lu Pingan wanted to review by himself.

Entering my new office, my eyes suddenly opened up.

The visibility in Beijing today is excellent, and you can see the bird's nest at a glance outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

The office is also very large, more than 300 square meters in total, divided into two parts.

Part of it is an office of more than 200 square meters.

The other ones are the bedroom and bathroom.

Then separate it with a secret door.

There is actually a similar bedroom.

Hmm. That’s outrageous!

But Lu Pingping likes it.

He took out his mobile phone and prepared to send a text message to Yan Danchen to try a new place tonight.

At this moment, a text message from the assistant came: "Director Lu, Miss Zhang Yuqi has received the disc. She wants your phone call to express her gratitude in person. Do you need to give her your backup mobile phone number?"

There is always a witch who is thinking about Sajia!

Lu Ping'an frowned slightly.

He thought about it, there will be many things in the future and his career will be very busy.

There are already many women out there.

If you want to find someone, you can't find someone tough.

So forget it.

He replied: "No."

The assistant quickly replied: "I understand."

After finishing the matter here, Lu Ping'an sent another text message to Yan Danchen.

After sending the message, he put down his cell phone and sat on the soft sofa, comfortably overlooking the busy traffic outside the window.

Looking down from the clouds, it feels very different.

At this moment, he seemed to finally feel the feeling of success.

It's just that the large office of more than 200 square meters is big and luxurious, but it seems to be a little less lively.

Fortunately, a rumbling sound came from Daju's throat.

Lu Pingan held it in his arms and played with it.

Daju is here, will Liu Qianqian be far behind?

Sure enough, Liu Qianqian knocked on the door and came in after a while: "Brother Ping'an, why didn't you tell me when you came back?"

"Didn't I just arrive?"

Lu Pingan continued to pet the cat, and then asked, "Which floor did your company choose?"

"Floor 21."

As Liu Qianqian spoke, she asked, "Do you know why I chose the 21st floor?"

"Why?"

"Take a guess."

"Because the soul weighs 21 grams?"

"Huh?. No."

"What's that for?"

"Because I am 21 years old this year!"

"Yeah, so fast."

Lu Ping'an stood up and put his hands behind his back, walked around Liu Qianqian, looked at her, and said with emotion in his eyes, "In my impression, you are still the little girl hiding behind your mother, but I don't think about you now."

"What's wrong now?" Liu Qianqian looked into Lu Ping'an's eyes, looking forward to the next part of the sentence.

"Now, you're actually running for three!"

"." Liu Qianqian swung her fist.

Lu Ping'an, run away quickly.

After the fight, Liu Qianqian tidied her hair and started to act coquettishly: "Brother Ping An, I want to have a small office room on this floor."

"Whatever level you are, how dare you be on the same level as me? This level is exclusive to me."

"Give me one, otherwise I will be separated from Daju all day long."

Liu Qianqian didn't care about the sarcasm, she grabbed Lu Ping'an's arm and shook it.

There are many reasons.

Why don't you want to be separated from Daju? There are a lot of books here, and it's a pity that no one can read them. There is also a large terrace here where you can bask in the sun in winter.

Lu Ping'an scratched his ears with his little fingers and felt very annoyed.

In the end, Lu Ping'an compromised: "Okay, okay, once you pass your script skills, I'll open a small office for you in the northwest corner, okay."

"Really? You didn't lie to me?"

"Of course! But it's not easy to pass the test with your script skills."

"It's just a line, no big deal!"

Liu Qianqian was full of confidence and very happy.

Then she also lay on the sofa and began to talk about what she had gained these days.

At present, "Huan Tai" has a domestic revenue of 719 million US dollars, and the global box office has reached 478 million US dollars.

As the heroine, Liu Qianqian has gained a lot.

Before this, although Liu Qianqian had gained good national popularity with roles such as Ling'er and Xiao Longnu.

However, because she is a TV star and Liu Qianqian's activities are not frequent, her own income in 2006 was less than 6 million, which still includes the US$300,000 salary for "Huan Tai".

In fact, Liu Xiaoli also deliberately suppressed many cooperations, just waiting for Liu Qianqian to become a movie star before harvesting.

Now it seems that the effect is very good.

In the past two weeks, Liu Qianqian's company has negotiated four endorsements, totaling 7.6 million. There are still many endorsement projects and other announcements and drama appointments to be negotiated in the future.

The number doesn't look high, but you have to remember that it's 2007, and there are only a few actresses with an annual income of more than 10 million. If this rate continues, Liu Qianqian will be able to earn more than 15 million this year. The top ten actresses in Forbes.

So from this aspect, Liu Qianqian's team seems to have tried too hard.

Lu Pingan then reminded: "As for money, you still have to take it easy. You can't just accept any job, you know?"

When Liu Qianqian heard this, she petted the cat a little faster. She was obviously very happy, and then she said humbly, "I'm not short of money, just have enough."

"That's good!"

"But I still have to make money, and I still have to buy you a Ferrari."

"Ha, I don't like cars."

"If you don't like it, then I'll do it."

"You really made a good calculation."

"Thank you for the compliment~"

The two chatted for a while, and Lu Pingan stood up: "Let's go down and have a look."

Liu Qianqian followed with Daju in her arms, and the two started cruising.

Currently, only companies from the Lu Ping An Group are stationed in the entire Star Center office building.

The 32nd floor belongs to Lu Ping'an alone, and the one below belongs to Xingchen Company.

From the 31st to the 22nd floor, more than a dozen departments were squeezed into the two floors before, but now they are spread out, leaving everyone with too much space.

Once the space is relaxed, the mood will also improve.

Of course, what everyone is happiest about is actually the salary increase.

If the Xingchen benefits are good, wages will naturally rise.

Not only will wages be increased, Xingchen will also start an IPO.

The news was disclosed in the company's internal group a few days ago. The specific rules will be decided in the next year when Lu Ping'an joins the Olympic Organizing Committee.

In short, no matter how we operate, employees will definitely not be left behind.

The market's enthusiasm for Xingchen's IPO is also extremely high.

Mainland's dominant production company is not just talk.

Then we visited and arrived at the 23rd floor. The 23rd floor, like the 22nd floor, is the artist management department.

Currently, there are only three artists in the company, one partner director, and several friends such as Zhang Songwen have also set up offices here.

A few people occupying two floors is not very comfortable.

When Huang Bo saw Lu Ping'an coming, he poured the scented tea in a very stupid way.

"It's nice to sit in the big office, right?"

Lu Pingan asked with a smile.

"It's great! But it's too spacious."

Huang Bo smiled with rotten teeth.

"When you slow down, you won't be able to use this place very much. Cherish the free time you have now."

"Okay brother!"

Huang Bo then took out Pu'er and said, "Brother, try this."

"What's this? It tastes wrong. If you don't have any good tea, take it from my place. You'll lose points for this."

"Hehe, this is what you said."

"Okay, you're waiting for me here, right?"

"That's not the case"

Further down are the Ping An companies.

There is Liu Qianqian on the 21st floor. She is the only one on the 21st floor. She is still moving things and will officially move in in a few days.

Further down is Burger King, which hasn’t been moved in yet, and the one below is empty.

We will gradually enter the company in the future.

Fan Xiaopang, Tang Ren and others will come here in the future.

If Yan Danchen and the others are willing to move in, they will be open to it.

But in the end, it is estimated that Lu Ping An will enter its own new industries, such as the video website track that it will focus on next.

This is no small matter.

At present, Lu Pingan has invested in Youku, and he will also have a share in Penguin's future website.

But I always feel like my website is missing something.

Lu Ping An intends to create an independent one by himself.

Now he holds a lot of Internet copyrights.

I have spent a lot of money over the years.

He also knows how the future will develop.

So it's not that it can't be done.

How to do it specifically can be sorted out in the next year.

After the visit, he returned to the top-floor office and Wu Guohua brought up the data.

"Kung Fu Panda" has been in theaters for a week now, with a box office of 156 million in the mainland, exceeding expectations.

There is basically no problem with the goal of exceeding 200 million in the future, and it is estimated that it is possible to exceed 300 million.

This is much better than the 186 million in the original time and space.

In addition, several pirates of "Huan Tai" have also been dug out.

But we definitely can’t expect a complete blow.

This is the situation in the country.

But it can also be used as a shock, at least not to go too far with "Kung Fu Panda" and future star movies.

The domestic trend has been decided, and the next step is overseas.

"South Korea will come over tomorrow morning for dubbing. Do you want to meet?"

"I have a flight tomorrow night, so I have time."

"Okay, this is Neon."

The conversation ended at 5 o'clock, and the whole company went to the hotel for a housewarming banquet.

After a simple meal and red envelopes, Xingchen started a new stage of development.

The next morning, Lu Ping'an met Rain, Jun Ji-hyun and other South Korean "Kung Fu Panda" voice actors in the new building.

The news hit the newspapers that day.

As everyone knows, "Kung Fu Panda" has officially begun to go overseas.

Many people are paying attention to whether "Kung Fu Panda" can achieve "at least the same level as "Huan Tai"" at the box office.

There are expectations and there are doubts.

Lu Pingping ignored it. That night, he and Yan Danchen boarded Lao Mei's plane.

"Peak 3" is about to be released.

Regarding the plot of the movie, don’t talk about it. Have you ever seen me write it if the plot has not been changed? I will only write it if there are several major projects and the plot has been changed, and I will finish the plot within the same day, which is very good. Bar.

Let’s do this for today. My friends are getting engaged tonight. Engagement in southern Fujian is as important as getting married, so I’ll keep the word count at 4k for now.
