China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

Xingchen's movies are going overseas, and Wu Baige's "Red Cliff" is also going overseas.

Like The Original Space and Time, "Red Cliff" scored a super high box office in Neon, with the total now approaching 10 billion yen, which is close to 100 million US dollars.

Mainland media's reports on this are generally congratulatory. After all, this can be regarded as cultural export.

But there are definitely not many people who are so excited that they praise their smelly feet.

After all, the stars are there. If nothing else, the achievements of "Kung Fu Panda" are here, and the mainland media is fully confident.

What's more, the overseas results of "Wonderful Night 2" are now also good.

So "Red Cliff" has good results, but it's not even close.

In addition, the mainland media is also feeling pity, saying that if the accounts were better divided, Chengtian would suffer a big loss this time!

There was turmoil from all sides, but this did not affect Wu Baige's dying illness and his sudden death.

Neon took nearly 10 billion yen? !

Who said I, Wu Baige, can’t do it!

Thirty Years in Hedong.

All in all, I will definitely come back.

Late at night in a study room in Xiangjiang, Wu Baige began to conceive of a new movie, and he vaguely saw a large ship.

It’s March 9th.

Today is Yan Danchen’s birthday.

There is also good news on the movie side.

One and a half months after its release, "Wonderful Night 2" finally exceeded the 1 billion mark.

Ning Hao has thus become the first "Billion Box Office Club" director in mainland China.

That evening, the creative team of "Wonderful Night 2" gathered in Beijing again to hold a celebration party.

When a movie exceeds one billion, it is not only a big event for Ning Hao, Xingchen and a single movie, but also a big event for the entire film industry.

Therefore, there are many journalists, relevant colleagues and leaders here today.

Amid the applause of the crowd, Ning Hao first knocked down the hammer and symbolically smashed the "billion" ice cubes, and then smashed them together with Lu Ping'an and the leaders.

Amidst the warm applause, Ning Hao took the microphone and thanked everyone he could.

Finally, he hugged Lu Ping'an and cried.

After crying, he made various sensational remarks into the microphone:

Because he met Lu Ping'an, he became the first director worth 200 million, the first Oscar winner for Best Cinematography, and now the first director worth 1 billion.

At this moment, Ning Hao's literary talent was overwhelming.

Of course, Lu Ping'an was the one who "troubled the situation" and directly replied: "Why don't you call me your adoptive father quickly?"

The scene burst into laughter.

The results of "Wonderful Night 2" and Ning Hao's circle of friends were also recorded in film history by reporters tonight.

No one will ask why Lu Ping'an didn't achieve this achievement first.

Because Lu Ping An has already surpassed this achievement.

If we really talk about the box office, last year it made its first billion-dollar box office.

On the contrary, on-site reporters and colleagues are more concerned about their views on the future.

A reporter asked: "Director Lu, do you think there will be billion-level movies in the future?"

Lu Pingan did not hesitate: "Of course I will. I don't think this record will last long. In the future, the box office record of our domestic movies will be far more than 1 billion."

In this case.

Lu Ping'an has said it more than once since his debut.

When I mentioned it before, most people were indifferent and skeptical.

But after it has been fulfilled time and time again, now Lu Ping'an's words are like a shot in the arm, and everyone just longs for it and hopes that they will become one of the trendsetters of that better era.

It’s just that everyone doesn’t know that Lu Ping’an has already begun to name the trend-setters.

At the celebration banquet, Lu Pingan said to Guo Fan, the associate producer of "Wonderful Night 2": You are next!

Guo Fan immediately downed three glasses of wine, feeling very excited and stressed at the same time.

Fortunately, he will not directly start the company's big projects at the beginning.

Instead, start with low-budget movies.

For example, the "The Adventures of Li Xianli" he has in his hand now has been studied for a long time.

I hope you don't rush into the street.

Guo Fan prays deeply

After the celebration banquet, Lu Ping'an's work on the three movies was basically over.

The rest is left to Ning Hao, Hu Qingquan and the others to run.

Just wait for another half month to have a general celebration banquet.

The next day, Lu Ping'an returned to the company and plunged into new affairs.

Now that the Spring Festival holiday has been successfully completed, what lies before the stars is the matter of listing.

In this listing, Xingchen will be listed together with its animation, special effects, theaters, toys, clothing, Maoyan Ticketing, Bad Monkey Pictures, video websites and related companies.

Go to Big A first. Xiang Guoqiang said that it is expected to be in July.

Split later.

For example, the three major movie theater chains, Maoyan Piaopiao, and video websites must be separated and listed in the future.

If you want to spin off and go public, you have to get things done well, which requires a lot of money, especially for video websites.

This is the purpose of Xingchen’s listing.

Then pursue the privatization of Xingchen headquarters.

So finance is really just a tool.

To achieve such an ultimate task, many high-quality works are needed.

So I have to think about new works next.

At present, in terms of movies, "The Wind" has been decided.

Tomorrow Ping An Lu will go to Laos and the United States to check out the progress of "Iron Man".

Once you get back, you can start casting.

Li Zi and Yan Danchen have already read the script thoroughly, but the others have not yet chosen.

With Lu Ping'an's current situation, selecting people is actually very simple.

After the filming of "The Wind" is completed, Li Zi will join the cast of Huayi's "Painted Skin 2".

On my side, there will be movies like "Those Years" and the college entrance examination.

Among them, "Those Years" can still be taken slowly.

Liu Qianqian has just started to reap the dividends from "Wonderful Night 2" and already has the copyright, so she is not in a hurry.

In addition, it is best for these movies to be released after the company goes public.

At that time, the main thing was not the box office, but the increase in market value brought about by the rise in stock prices.

The gameplay is different.

Of course, the ability of these movies to boost stock prices is not as good as Lu Pingan’s blockbusters.

So Lu Ping'an also prepared a few.

"Kung Fu Panda 2" will be released in the summer. If everything goes well at that time, the company will go public.

Lu Ping An also wanted to see how much a globally popular movie could boost the stock price.

For example, "Inception" that I bought from Nolan earlier, as well as "Source Code 2" and even "Rim 2" can be used.

This kind of film is not officially announced now, and will be officially announced after it is released. A piece of news can boost a lot of stock prices.

But you can start preparing now. For example, in "Source Code 2", there are many mechanical props that need to be used. Prepare as early as possible to improve efficiency.

If it’s released, let’s release it next year.

This year there is "Avatar", and I only have to fight it when my brain is full.

There are also many projects in TV series.

"Beautiful Heart" will be launched in a few days.

"Star You" will start filming in the second half of the year.

So this year is still a busy year.

It's better to be busy.

Earn more while you are young and retire early in the future.

After stretching, Lu Pingping continued to work.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, seeing that it was almost time, Lu Pingan got up and prepared to leave for Lao America. (End of chapter)
