China Entertainment: The happiness of being a director is as simple as that

Chapter 104 Three Chinese Stars in America
March 3, Houston.

Lu Pingan was invited to be interviewed by local media.

Houston has become one of the most familiar old American cities in China since 02.

Dayao became the No. [-] pick of the Houston Rockets last year, and the city has also become the home of a large number of domestic fans.

Now Dayao has not finished his first season in the NBA, but the process has been quite tortuous.

At the beginning, Houston fans had high hopes for Dayao, but in the early part of the game, Dayao couldn't adapt, and was even knocked down by Marbury, becoming the "parallel import champion" and "a stupid big man from the East".

In November last year, the famous basketball host even made a bold statement, saying that if Dayao can score 11 points, he would kiss his partner Kenny's ass!

Immediately, the topic became heated.

Let's not talk about whether there is any suspicion of deliberate hype.

But at that time, people all over the United States and China were looking forward to Dayao's explosion.

The final result was also familiar later.

Dayao finally adapted to the rhythm of the NBA and began to explode, no more, no less, scoring 20 points, one more than 19 points.

Then Barkley actually kissed the ass, but it was a donkey's.

The effect of the show exploded.

Dayao has also become the favorite "counterattack" template of the old Americans.

From being optimistic, to not optimistic at all, and finally standing up!
Then Dayao entered the All-Star with high votes.

So far, the whole of Houston has had more and more Chinese elements since then.

More and more domestic investors and advertisers began to settle in Houston.

More and more Chinese are entering Houston.

With more Chinese and more Chinese elements, everything about Chinese seems to be a hot topic in Houston right now.

So the famous kung fu superstar Lian Jie and the Chinese director Lu Pingan, who is currently a hit movie, were invited together by the local TV station.

However, the reason Lian Jie was willing to come over was not entirely for Lu Ping An.

To be honest, Lu Ping'an's status is not comparable to him, and the two of them have no cooperation projects. If the TV station insists on talking, he can completely ignore it.

And the reason why he came here was to meet Lu Ping'an, and it was more because he could see Dayao later.

The format of the program is aimed at the Chinese, attracting investment for Houston and so on, so it will be interesting to bring together a few Chinese stars.

Of course there is still an appearance fee, not much, but it doesn't matter to Lian Jie.

Although Dayao is not yet a top class, he is very popular in China and in Laomei.

And he is still a national player, which is hard for actors and directors to compare with.

There is no conflict of interest between the two parties. Seeing each other can promote each other.

So a pleasant meeting and interview began.

"Hello Road Guide."

"Hello, Teacher Li, just call me Ping An."

At this time, Lian Jie's appearance has not yet collapsed, he is full of energy, and looks like a superstar.

Lu Pingan actually didn't have much opinion of him, except that his nationality and feelings would affect him, everything else was pretty good.

At least Lu Ping'an had watched other people's movies since he was a child. Now that he saw them, and met them again in Laomei, respect is a must.

Lian Jie replied with a smile: "Then I'll call you safe, I watched your movie, the filming is really good!"

"Ms. Li, I have to say sorry to you. I didn't notice that there was still your movie when it was scheduled."

"Oh, what's the matter, directors in Hollywood can't decide this kind of thing. Our mainland filmmakers are talented and can make good achievements in Hollywood. I also want to congratulate you..."

Lian Jie is very enthusiastic.

The two quickly became acquainted.

Lu Pingan can also tell that this person intends to make friends.

Naturally, he would not refuse, anyway, there is no reason to offend him.

After a brief chat, the show began.

Lian Jie is already at his fingertips when dealing with such old-fashioned shows.

Lu Ping'an has only experienced five days, so naturally he is not as happy as he is.

So Lian Jie also intentionally helped him on the show.

For example, in the movie, Jet Lian has been boasting that the road is safe.

Lu Pingan expressed his gratitude in his heart.

It's time to praise Jeter's movie.

At this time, the host asked: "Is there any chance to see the two of you working together in the future? One is a director and the other is a kung fu superstar. It must be very exciting."

Lu Pingan said with a smile: "I definitely can't invite him for horror movies, but I may try some new themes in the future."

Lian Jie also said: "If you really hire me, I will lower my salary, and I will never make things difficult for you."

Whether they will really cooperate in the future, in fact, both of them know in their hearts that this cannot be taken seriously.

There is nothing that can be settled by opening your mouth.

So it's good for everyone to be happy.

Then the show continued, and the host also asked a question that Lu Ping An always heard these days: "Do you Chinese know kung fu? Lu, do you know kung fu?"

This kind of question does not need to be answered seriously at all.

This is not some kind of political talk show, just make some program effect and make the relationship between the two parties a little bit better.

So Lu Ping'an spread his hands: "I know how to direct, if I know how to kung fu, how can Teacher Li mess around?"

Lian Jie also replied with a smile: "It's a good thing he doesn't know kung fu, otherwise with his face, I'm afraid he would have become a superstar by now!"

Everyone in the audience laughed.

It's not bad, Lu Pingan hasn't encountered any insulting problems so far.

The most sensitive time is to ask why you Chinese use chopsticks.

This was asked by a child, and Lu Pingan felt that there was some earth-shattering misunderstanding when the child asked this question.

As a result, the original intention of the family was: "If you don't use chopsticks, it won't be so difficult to put those delicious foods in your mouth."

The audience laughed again.

The children speak freely, and it also proves that there are more Chinese elements in Houston than in other places.

After another 10 minutes, the first half of the show was almost over.

In the second half, the camera followed the two to Houston to watch the game.

The host asked the two if they knew how to play basketball.

Lian Jie said that he watched it occasionally, but Lu Pingan directly said that he was a fan.

There's nothing to hide.

At the moment, he can actually see that the old American people have many stereotypes about the Chinese.

Dayao came to play in the United States, in fact, a large part of it was to break the stereotype and then reshape the impression.

How about saying that they are great.

Dayao is humble, gentle, intelligent, and humorous.

In the eyes of Chinese people, many people think that he is a coward, who will only throw a towel on the court when he is bullied, and only a few times.

But who can really combine his situation with the current international environment.

This kind of pressure is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Before Lu Pingan went to Berlin for the first time, he was actually mentioned to pay attention to his image.

In the past, he dismissed it, but after he really gained some fame, he would really take it seriously on his own.

Of course, when it is necessary, he will not pretend to be a calf.

It is necessary to be humble in the country and have a good temper with those close to you.

If you encounter bad goods abroad, why are you still used to him?
Fortunately, this has not happened to me now, and I hope it won't happen in the future.
Then the two chatted with the program team all the way, and went to the Houston training center.

Tonight is said to be the Rockets playing the Clippers at home.

For the Rockets, if they want to make the playoffs, every game after that is very important.

And the Clippers are bad, but it is said that someone on their team has wanted to teach Dayao, the No. [-] pick, for a long time.

These are regular NBA hype, if not, the game is nothing to watch.

When he arrived at the training center, Dayao was already covered in sweat.

During this period, Dayao's figure was somewhat bamboo pole.

But the height is really high. Seeing the 226 tall giant with his own eyes, Lu Pingan felt cervical spine pain for the first time.

"Hello Dayao."

Lian Jie greeted first.

"Hello."

Dayao responded shyly.

"Hello Dayao, I'm Lu Ping'an."

When it was Lu Ping'an's turn, Dayao replied shyly, "Hello."

It was not clear whether he knew him or not.

When the three met, it was Lian Jie who made the atmosphere lively.

In private, he is very good at talking, chatting without being cold.

After a while, Dayao's teammates also came.

The emotions of black people are too much outside.

Seeing Jet Li, Mobley hugged his head and shouted: "Gift Crab, it's Jet Lee! Man, get my camera, hurry up!"

The rest of the teammates are similar, a wave of generous gifts, the power of the kung fu superstar is fully set off.

As for Lu Pingan, he didn't feel anything strange at all.

If Lian Jie has been around for so long and he is still not famous, then Lian Jie really has to find a hole in the ground.

So now is the normal situation.

But soon someone also recognized him: "You are Lu, omg, I watched your movie yesterday, Lu, your movie is really awesome!"

The person who spoke was someone who looked like an internal training room, and Lu Pingan was delighted.

"Thank you for your love."

"Can you sign me for a while, my girlfriend likes horror movies."

"no problem."

Gaining a girlfriend fan, Lian Jie smiled and patted Lu Pingan on the shoulder: "It still depends on the face."

"That must be, this is my trump card."

Just joking, chatted briefly, and the topic entered basketball.

Lu Pingan can play ball, but naturally he is no match for these animals.

The two took a small shot, experienced the floor of the training ground, and helped Dayao boast that it was not easy in the NBA, and the matter passed.

Finally, everyone signed and took a group photo.

Then I experienced a pair of internal meals, which was dismal.

After the end, they moved to the stadium, and both were assigned the first row of seats.

Then the game begins.

It was the first time to watch the game live, and Lu Pingan was full of freshness.

Lian Jie did as he said, watching it occasionally, but it doesn't mean he really doesn't understand football.

So the two took it seriously.

And the result of the game is also satisfactory.

The Rockets defeated the Clippers 118 to 114. Yao played 36 minutes and was already the main force. He scored 10 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks. The fans on the scene sang "Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming."

After watching the game, Watts Bogo also gave the report card of the third week of "Chain Saw".

In the third week, the box office was 2300 million!The total box office came to 6900 million!
According to the proportion of the third week's account split, the film studio is 40%. After calculation, Lu Pingan can get more than 500 million US dollars after deducting the publicity and distribution!

500 million U.S. dollars a week, this amount sounds, the little days are really nourishing!

"Dayao, I wish you good health and glory for the country!"

"Dayao, I wish you go farther and farther in the future, stay healthy and win the championship!"

Before leaving, Lian Jie and Lu Pingan blessed Dayao respectively.

Dayao smiled shyly: "I also wish you all the best in making Chinese film appointments!"

The three parted with a smile.

Before parting with Lian Jie, Lian Jie and Lu Pingan said goodbye:

"Come to me anytime you need help."

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

Jet Lianjie still doesn't know that Lu Pingan has the leading power in the project. Watts didn't disclose it, and the media didn't say it, so according to Hollywood rules, the director really doesn't have much power, unless he becomes a big director.

So it's understandable that Lian Jie offered help.

Regardless of whether someone is telling the truth or not, it is always right to express gratitude in my heart.

"I hope to cooperate in the future."

"With a good script, I will never forget you."

The two are separate.

Lu Pingan also rushed to the next scene.

It's just that the phone call came in at this time, and at first glance, it was from China.

"Hey?"

"Peace, it's me."

"Dong Xuan?"

"correct."

"What's the matter, is there something urgent on Da Yueyang's phone?"

"I'm coming to Laomei."

"what?"
