China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

Chapter 95 093 Watts: This time, I will definitely.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Guorong was sent off to the airport on Ping'an Road.

After the two agreed to meet again in Bashu in a few days, Guorong entered the pass.

After leaving the airport, I signed autographs for a few movie fans who had the courage to come up and ask for autographs.

Lu Ping'an started his New Year greeting trip with a good mood.

The main task in the first few days of the new year is to get a few relatives off.

Now Lu Ping'an is also a famous celebrity, attracting onlookers wherever he goes.

When we arrived in Chaoyang, a group of neighbors from the uncle's house had a lively chat with Lu Ping'an.

The neighbors regarded Lu Ping'an as their own child.

As we chatted, we started scolding Lao Mouzi, saying that the movie was not good and that it was too much for us to have a safe journey.

After scolding, he turned around and gave Lu Ping'an advice.

"Peace be with you. Next time you take photos in a more cheerful manner, our whole family will have a good time."

"How can you just shoot a comedy movie? Ping An is shooting science fiction, and he is a great science fiction director."

"So you can't laugh in science fiction? If you laugh, it's a comedy movie, right?"

"Don't listen to Ping An, just take pictures of what you are good at, and then we will have the whole street to support you!"

"..."

The chirping neighborhood committee aunts made the uncle's house very lively.

Everyone left when the meal started.

The uncle also mentioned movies at this time.

His proposal has a lot of reference significance:

"Now that you have such a high-grossing movie in hand, and you are still so young, if you do something that you are not very good at in the next movie, the outside world will be much more tolerant of you. Anyway, if it doesn't work, just do what you are good at. Yes."

Lu Pingan wanted to say that he was actually "good" at everything, but he still accepted it humbly: "I understand."

"Well, I think you can try to rely on our Chinese culture. Chinese culture is so vast. If you have the ability, try it, promote it, and export it to foreigners."

This is indeed good advice.

Lu Ping'an thought so too.

Why make a movie?

Winning awards and box office is only one aspect. Making a cultural output advantage is the most important goal in the future.

Why else would he put so much effort into making "Kung Fu Panda"?

It's just that "Kung Fu Panda" will take many years to be completed. Lu Pingan feels that he can try to make it first in his next commercial film.

"I'll think about it carefully."

"Well, I won't say much more. I don't understand your business either, but one thing is correct no matter how you do it, that is, never stray too far from your roots at any time, so that you won't be careless. Floating, unable to find direction."

"It's very profound, I will try to understand it."

"You'll understand it as you practice it. Don't worry, you're only 21 years old and there's still a long way to go."

As the uncle said this, he took out the red envelope and said, "Here."

"That's no need."

"Wait until you get married before you say this. Take it."

"Oh, this... ok, ok... hahaha..."

From the first to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Pingan has been paying New Year greetings to relatives.

This is the third year he has traveled through time.

He escaped in the past two years because of the Berlin Film Festival.

There is no suitable reason this year, so I have to bow down.

The first and second grades belong to the father's side, and the third and fourth grades belong to the mother's side.

After "The Source", Lu Ping'an became a "big director". It's not something he just wants to deny. Everyone thinks you are, you are.

So along the way, I met countless people, signed countless names, and took countless photos.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, Lu Pingan began to visit elders who were not relatives.

Uncle Liao, Secretary Dong, Hu Qingquan, Han Sanpin and so on.

After a round of greetings, only Jiang Wen was missing. As a result, Jiang Wen went to other places, so Lu Ping'an's New Year's greeting trip came to an end.

Next, others would give him New Year greetings.

The first is Sister Hua.

Sister Hua is an agent who is really good at what she does. In addition to greetings during holidays, she never leaves out some small gifts.

The New Year greeting was really just a New Year greeting, and she didn’t ask about any projects. For an agent like this, directors would generally give her more opportunities.

Lu Ping'an is not immune to vulgarity. At least next time when she comes to find an actor, she will definitely leave one who is not very important.

Liu Qianqian's mother and daughter also came to pay New Year's greetings. After not seeing each other for a long time, Liu Qianqian seemed to have grown taller.

"Brother Ping An!"

Liu Qianqian still looks full of energy.

Lu Ping'an asked: "Has Tianlong finished filming?"

"The filming was completed on New Year's Day 27th."

"After filming, you have to go to class. I heard that no one in the school has seen you very much. It will be very unpleasant to tell anyone about it in the future."

"You're still talking about me, aren't you the same?"

"I'm a director, just let my results speak for myself."

"Okay, okay, you are awesome."

"Hey, who did you learn this speaking style from? It's quite a rogue."

"How's it going? Is there no way to go?"

"Ha, little brat."

"I'm already 16!"

"Okay, okay, you are awesome."

"Wow, you learn from me."

The mother and daughter left after eating.

There was no mention of the project. Lu Ping'an could tell that Liu Xiaoli was actually quite aware of it.

Then there are Deng Chao, Li Bo and others. These are not close friends like Zhang Songwen, but they have a good relationship. It is actually very happy for them to sit down and talk and laugh together.

The rest of the people didn't dare to come over because their relationship wasn't close enough, or they were simply thin-skinned. They just said New Year greetings through text messages or phone calls.

Lu Ping'an actually feels that I'm not afraid of you coming over to pay New Year greetings and send blessings, which is auspicious, but what I'm afraid of is that you will come and talk about things you don't have, so it's better not to come.

By the time it was the tenth day of the lunar month, Lu Ping'an closed the door and thanked guests. He was preparing to go to Bashu.

As a result, Jiang Wen called at this time: "I'm back, it's time for you to come and pay New Year's greetings!"

Still so rude.

But Lu Pingping likes it.

If you are too polite, you will become unfamiliar.

Lu Ping'an said into the microphone: "I'm coming over now."

As a result, Jiang Wen replied: "I'll come to your place."

"How can any teacher wish New Year's greetings to students first?"

"Who told you that I came to pay New Year's greetings?"

"And you are?"

"I'm here to collect debt!"

safe trip:"..."

He knew Jiang Wen wanted the script.

This has to be given, it has been agreed upon a long time ago, we just haven’t had time to talk.

It’s just the Chinese New Year to collect debts.

Should he be buried or should he be put in jail?

hang up the phone.

Lu Pingping walked to the study.

He took out the two scripts he had prepared in the drawer and decided to leave Jiang Wen's fate to coins.

As he spoke, he took out a one-yuan coin and threw it up.

"Oh, it's jail time."

. . . . . . .

Two hours later, in the courtyard, Jiang Wen sat on the sofa and read the script intently.

After reading it once, Jiang Wen nodded repeatedly.

He believes that this film is a great candidate for awards!

The script Lu Pingan came up with this time is called "Hungry Platform".

This is a film that discusses class issues more nakedly than Parasite.

It's about a magical prison where food is transported from the top floor to the bottom in an elevator.

Each inmate is randomly assigned to a prison floor once a month.

I'm lucky enough to go to the upper floors, where the food is the most plentiful and you can eat as much as you want. But when you get to the lower floors, it's going to be miserable. You have to ask the people above to save some, otherwise you have to eat people or be eaten.

The huge prison in this film is the real society, and the feast is the limited social resources. The upper class people have enough to eat and drink, the middle class people can barely maintain their dignity, and the lower class people can't even lick the bones. All the evils of human nature have been stimulated, and they can only be eaten by humans. people.

Managers on level 0 look down from the top and can't see how many levels there are in hell. Everyone at the upper levels as far as the eye can see is doing well, so they are quite satisfied with their jobs and even full of pride.

In the end, people at the bottom use their lives to convey the signal, but people outside the upper class cannot get the true meaning at all.

This film is actually very suitable for competing for awards.

In fact, Lu Pingan also thought about coming up with "Parasite", but in comparison, "Hungry Platform" is more out of touch with "locality".

The world of "Hungry Platform" is more metaphorical for human society as a whole, and "Parasite" also has this meaning, but its connection with the social background is deeper.

To put it simply, when you watch "Hungry Platform", you won't think of the country where the film was produced, but when you watch "Parasite", you will think that South Korea is like this.

This will also prevent Lu Pingan from being labeled as a "scar of the mother country".

Of course, this is definitely a bit one-sided.

However, from other perspectives, such as cost, shooting difficulty, etc., "Hungry Platform" is obviously more suitable.

After reading for a long time, Jiang Wen closed the script, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows. After a long time, he asked Lu Pingan: "Your brain..."

"That's how long it is!"

Lu Ping'an answered directly.

He had heard this kind of thing so many times that he was tired of it.

Jiang Wen also shook his head and laughed, and then asked: "When will it be filmed?"

"You can get ready first."

"Can I be the protagonist?"

"Do you think it can be done?"

The protagonist in the film is a frail scholar. Jiang Wen thought for a while and said, "I can give it a try."

Then he added: "Or you can change it again?"

Lu Ping'an smiled and shook his head: "I won't change it."

After saying that, Jiang Wen felt a little regretful, but he heard Lu Ping'an say, "But mainly if it's really not suitable, you can be my assistant director."

Jiang Wen regained his composure: "Seriously?!"

"The premise is that the name cannot be used, you know the reason, and the most important thing is that the theme and script structure of the film cannot be changed. You can use the performance and lines, etc., and we will discuss it."

"no problem!"

Jiang Wen was happy.

Lu Ping'an was also happy.

One of the difficulties in adapting foreign films, especially this kind of literary film, is localizing the lines.

As for changing the plot, script structure, etc., he hasn't been able to get involved in this step yet, and he will take his time later.

And if you want to restore it well, or even have a look at "transcendence", you must bring in a big star.

Jiang Wen is very suitable. He has also had successful experience.

Of course, the premise remains the same, the theme and script structure cannot be changed.

Now it seems that the combination of Lu Pingan and Jiang Wen is actually very suitable.

Because the themes and creativity of his movies are really his strengths and cannot be changed.

Of course, there are some things that need to be changed, such as making the film less R-rated like the original film, reducing bloody scenes, or changing the presentation to make it more in line with the three major European films.

The lines are the same, but this is Lu Ping'an's weakness, so Jiang Wen can play it just right.

After the matter was finalized, Jiang Wen stuffed Lu Ping'an with a red envelope, saying that it was given as a teacher, and then left with the script.

Lu Ping'an opened the red envelope, 20 yuan.

He suddenly felt that he, as a student, was so cheap.

Forget it, the red envelope is your intention, don’t care about it.

After finishing the award-winning film, the next step is the next commercial film.

Regarding the choice of commercial films, Lu Pingan already has ideas.

First of all, the box office potential must be high. In the current environment, anyone who comes will die, and the kind that has overwhelming ability to crush it.

Secondly, it must be the same as what I said to my uncle.

To have Chinese cultural symbols, you must have your own roots. If not, you must add a little bit of it.

It would be best to include some comedy elements to increase the popularity of the movie among moviegoers.

Of course, it is best to have a small space and use special effects so that the cost will not be high.

If possible, there is still some room for adaptation.

After counting on his fingers, Lu Ping'an soon had a goal.

That’s it!

After confirming the project, Hu Qingquan called:

Shortlisted!
