China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

Lu Pingan first asked Brother Hu: "Have you seen the movie "Myth"?"

As soon as the words came out, Brother Hu and Cai Yinong's eyes were shocked.

Before they came, they knew that there would be news about new resources this time. At this time, they also realized that the new resources this time would be related to "Myth".

"I've seen it. I like this movie very much." Brother Hu nodded immediately.

Lu Ping'an smiled and nodded: "That's good. Next, we will cooperate with Cheng Long's company to develop a TV series of "Myth". Lao Hu, please prepare well."

After talking about the project with Cheng Long last time, Cheng Long became very interested in it and personally asked Li Haishu, the screenwriter and assistant director of the "Myth" movie, to work on it. A few days ago, she also sent the script of the TV series version. .

As for the script, Lu Pingan is not planning to change it.

Because he feels that 8 episodes are enough to be authentic.

Of course, it’s best to leave the rest unchanged. This time we’re working with Eagle King, who is also the producer of the original version of the show.

Nowadays, the three parties are cooperating with each other, and they are all old partners, so it is not a big problem.

In addition, considering that in the next year or so, the superiors will issue an order not to film time-travel themes anymore.

Therefore, Lu Ping An is preparing to start the project immediately.

At this time in the original time and space, "Myth" has been completed and will be broadcast in January of 2010.

If we film it now, it will probably be broadcast after "Sword and Sword 3" is released.

By then, the benefits of the two Hu Ge dramas will be maximized.

After Lu Ping'an said this, before Brother Hu could answer, Cai Yinong immediately reassured him: "Don't worry, Director Lu, I will keep an eye on him!"

Lu Pingan laughed: "So, he hasn't been very honest during this period?"

"No, no, I'm very honest."

Brother Hu was shocked, and then repeatedly assured that he was innocent.

Master Liu who was watching this scene almost laughed out loud.

She had heard some interesting stories about Brother Hu.

But she was not interested in revealing anything unless Lu Pingping asked proactively at night.

But Lu Pingan probably wasn't interested in asking. Sure enough, Lu Pingan then said: "I don't care about your private life, just don't break the law and discipline. In terms of public opinion, Mr. Cai, you just have to control it."

Cai Yinong promised again and again.

Then Lu Ping'an turned the topic to Master Liu: "Master, you can also be the protagonist. Next, you have to work hard."

Master Liu said obediently, "I understand, thank you, Director Lu."

Cai Yinong also said again that she will definitely teach her well and not let Lu Ping'an down.

Cai Yinong knows about Liu Shishi's next drama, which is "Jingxin".

This drama was released at about the same time as "Palace" in the original time and space, and because of this, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi and their fans seemed to be having trouble.

This time Lu Ping'an directly asked Liu Shishi to go first.

The good thing is to focus on your own woman first.

As for "Palace", in the original time and space, this drama could also increase Yang Mi's health bar a lot, but now, Lu Ping'an has arranged a movie for her. In comparison, of course, movies can increase her health bar more. .

After talking about the matter, everyone chatted for a while, and then Secretary Yang and the others also visited the company. After a while, everyone moved to the hotel next door to hold a small celebration banquet.

It was already 9 o'clock after returning to the company, but there was still someone Lu Pingan wanted to see, and that was Yu Feihong.

What we want to talk about is still "Love Has an Afterlife".

At first, Yu Feihong and Lu Ping'an were looking forward to this year's Chinese Valentine's Day, which was August 26 the day before yesterday.

The original "Love After Life" was originally scheduled for this time, but at that time, Yu Feihong had a dispute with the distributor due to copy quality issues, which led to the film announcing that it would withdraw from the summer schedule and delay its release until early September.

Although there are no such disputes now, problems still arise.

Yu Feihong called in the morning and said that "Love Has an Afterlife" finally received a release permit, but it was already after Chinese Valentine's Day.

In this time and space, because "Love Is Afterlife" was completed relatively late, the license was obtained later than in the original time and space.

At that time, Lu Ping'an also expressed concern, saying that even if Yu Feihong was related, the release permit might not be approved before the Chinese Valentine's Day as hoped.

Now it seems that it is indeed the case.

If this is the case, if "Love Is Afterlife" is to be released next, it will have to find a timetable.

So Yu Feihong came to discuss it while Lu Ping'an was still in the country today.

"When do you want it to be released?"

Lu Pingan asked.

Yu Feihong answered directly: "September, October is also fine. It is autumn at that time, which is very consistent with the artistic conception of the movie."

Yu Feihong's words were so literary.

But you can’t do this when making a movie.

Lu Pingan analyzed it directly for her.

There will be "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" in September and his "The Wind" in October. These two films will definitely eat up most of the box office.

What's more, it's not too late to announce it.

So these two months are actually not good.

This is the original time and space.

The announcement was not in place, and it went through a change of gears. In addition, at that time, it was faced with "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "The Wind".

Coupled with the fact that the movie itself did not match the holiday spirit, the movie only received 2 million at the box office, a huge loss.

Of course, if Lu Ping An comes to support now, the box office will definitely be much higher than in the original time and space.

But besides him, who knows what the original time and space was like?

So either you don’t want to go online, or you have to strive to make a profit if you do.

The cost is 40 million, and if you want to make a profit, you need a box office of 100 million.

100 million is actually potentially obtainable for "Love Is Afterlife".

After all, the quality of this film is indeed pretty good.

But you have to choose a suitable schedule and do enough publicity, otherwise you will still have to pounce.

"What about the Lunar New Year period?"

Yu Feihong asked again.

"No, it's best not to touch the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival stalls this year."

"Why?"

"There are two Hollywood blockbusters this year, one of which is comparable to "Titanic", so all our company's projects have directly abandoned the Spring Festival schedule this year."

After hearing this, Yu Feihong was as surprised as Jiang Wen and others at the time.

Then he directly listened to the suggestion, and then asked: "Which schedule should I put it on?"

"My suggestion is to put aside the Chinese Valentine's Day next year. Don't even think about next year's Valentine's Day. It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it happens to be the Spring Festival. The pressure of competition is huge. Valentine's Day is also a holiday for foreigners. If you want to celebrate it with Chinese love movies, just celebrate it. It’s Chinese Valentine’s Day, but it’s going to be later, so I’ll see if you’re happy with it or not.”

Yu Feihong decided directly: "It's okay. The boss said that it can be released within a year. That's just right."

After just saying that, she worried: "But the Chinese Valentine's Day is not popular among Chinese people now, and it takes a lot of effort to publicize it. Is it possible?"

"It's simple. If it's not popular, then just make it popular."

Yu Feihong reacted quickly and asked with gleaming eyes: "Do you want to completely open up the Chinese Valentine's Day with multiple love movies like this year's Spring Festival?"

"You can imagine it, but this is still a little different from the Spring Festival period."

Lu Ping'an said modestly, "The Spring Festival is a traditional festival, but the Chinese Valentine's Day is not. It's not a holiday, so I just want to open it for next year. What about the year after that, let's talk about that."
