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

Chapter 108 Harvest
Oscar scene.

Lu Pingan stood still in front of the microphone and began to make a speech.

First of all, he weighed the statuette, which was the same size as the feature film award, and then said into the microphone:

"We made a movie about love, life, and memories. Along the way, I saw countless people who had beautiful memories and rediscovered their beautiful past. Thank you for your support. Now, "Memory Building Blocks" "The Cabin" has another good memory."

"Thanks to my motherland, school, Shangmei factory, family, teachers, colleagues, classmates, thanks to the organizing committee, I hope everyone's good memories will continue indefinitely in the future, thank you! (Chinese), thank you!"

Clap la la la.

Accompanied by applause, Lu Pingan and the five main creators returned to their seats amidst the attention.

The acceptance speech for accepting the award this time was deliberated several times by Hu Qingquan and the people from Shangmei Factory.

Relatively speaking, it is not that formative, but it is quite satisfactory.

No way, the "first time" is of great significance, especially Hu Qingquan, who values ​​it very much.

The little old man is more caring than himself, so Lu Pingan will naturally follow his will.

However, during the thank you roll call, Hu Qingquan insisted that Lu Pingan not call his name.

His original words were: "Wait until your feature film wins an award."

Okay, if you don't click your name, you don't click anything else, so there is a series of skips in the end.

Returning to his seat, Lu Pingan handed the trophy to Hu Qingquan immediately.

Hu Qingquan weighed it a few times and said with a smile, "It's really not gold."

"Of course, it's so expensive in pure gold."

"Of course I know, hey, it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, why does it always feel like it's not worth it?"

After finishing speaking, he handed the trophy to everyone in the Shangmei factory who had already stared at him.

But Hu Qingquan and Lu Ping'an are in the same mood at the moment.

Not too excited, just expected.

After all, I still know and have experienced too much.

Of course, Lu Pingan still attaches great importance to this award.

After all, this is really what he got by relying on his own skills to turn the tide of the battle, and he has a different sense of accomplishment.

The award ceremony continued, and the following results were roughly the same as in the original time and space.

"Gangs of New York" won best picture and Roman Polanski won best director for "The Pianist."

The best animated feature film was won by "Spirited Away", and the best foreign language film "Hero" still had no share, and was won by Germany's "Nowhere For Home".

The awards ceremony was over, even Jiemanyu and others came up to congratulate, and Lao Mouzi also said a few words, Zhang Weiping couldn't see anyone anymore.

Lu Pingan doesn't care about him at all, he has a lot of things to do.

After taking the statuette, I will then attend various receptions.

The Oscar Film Festival is similar to other film festivals. The award is the appearance, and the copyright transaction behind it is the big deal.

Many award-winning films do not have much commercial value, but relying on the awards, they can create a higher copyright transaction record behind them, and at the same time, they can get more film schedules, big screens, and even more box office revenue when they are released in North America.

And as the importance of the Oscars grows, more and more filmmakers will gather here.

Later, the scope of copyright transactions for many Oscar-winning films was record-setting.

European award-winning films may sell for 100 or [-] copyright units, and the Oscars can be as high as more than [-].

So it's all business.

As for how much "Memories" can sell, Lu Ping'an expressed his expectation, because before that, many relevant units had contacted Hu Qingquan.

It is estimated that after winning the award this time, the amount of copyright transactions will surprise Lu Pingan Xiaoxiao.

After leaving the venue, CCTV came to interview:

How do you feel about winning an award?

What do you most want to do now.

when do you come back.
These questions come and go.

The answer is simple.

Then came the post-Oscar reception, small interviews and so on.

As an Oscar winner, even if it is a short film, its status today is different from others.

So Lu Pingan received a lot of business cards along the way, including several with lipstick stamps on them, and even some directly stuffed room cards.

Lu Ping'an is an upright person, so I'm sorry everyone!

Finally, Lu Pingan and Hayao Miyazaki stood together for a photo.

Another feature film award and short film award, the same as last time in Berlin.

This time Hayao Miyazaki blessed Lu Pingan: "I hope to take a photo with you who won the feature film award next time."

After listening to the translation, Lu Pingan said with a smile: "Then next time, I have to call you in advance to cheer for the award ceremony."

"Hahaha, okay."

The two smiled and exchanged contact information.

When it was close to 12 o'clock, Lu Ping'an returned to the hotel. The bodyguard Tina saw him and whispered a few words.

Lu Pingan nodded to show that he understood, then went upstairs and entered his suite.

Dong Xuan was waiting on the sofa.

"You're back, congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

Lu Pingan smiled and thanked.

Dong Xuan's expression was slightly resentful.

Lu Pingan is very busy these days, so Tina was arranged for her to play by herself at the beginning.

In fact, apart from being a bodyguard, Tina is also Lu Ping An's assistant in North America.

It is also the duty of an assistant to help with the boss's personal affairs. This is very common in Laomei and is very professional.

So on the first day Dong Xuan came to Laomei, Tina took her around, and the two quickly got closer. On the second day, Tina suggested to go to Laomei for a walk, to various cities in the United States.

At that time, Lu Ping'an happened to encounter a slander, so in order not to disturb, Dong Xuan agreed.

Then this game is more than a week.

During the period, Tina also told Dong Xuan a reality as a friend.

That is, Lu Pingan is young, rich and talented, how much energy will he invest in you?Have you ever thought that he would not have a girlfriend like this?Even if not, can you control him?He is only 21!You think about it.

This was ordered by Lu Pingan.

When Dong Xuan suddenly said that he would come to Laomei to find him, he had already made all the preparations.

It is admirable courage to come so far, but I also have my own thoughts.

In fact, he had thought a lot about such a situation.

As his fame is getting bigger and bigger, he looks handsome.

There will be more and more ones that are aimed at the body and people, and this cannot be stopped.

Of course, I may also meet a second person like Yan Danchen who makes me willing to walk away.

But no matter what the situation is, Lu Pingan feels that as a director and a businessman, he must have a plan for this kind of thing.

As for women, his principle is, don't let your heart go, unless you really like it, such as Yan Danchen, but you won't let your heart go, otherwise he wouldn't have those things with Yu Feihong.

For the rest, just walk the kidneys.

Director Lu Da is young, strong and in good health, and is hailed by Xiao Chenchen as the Simmons killer.

I can be energetic at ordinary times, and I spend less time with Xiaochenchen, and I do have strong related needs in ordinary times.

So if both people like Yu Feihong understand each other and won't cause troubles in life and work, then there is nothing to worry about.

But for someone like Dong Xuan who came for the soul, forget it.

How can you be trapped by these in the entertainment industry?

So for Dong Xuan, what he did was to ask Tina to remind her and let her recognize the reality.

This is because the two are friends. If it is someone else, the bird will not take the bird.

Now it seems that the effect is there.

"Show me the statuette."

Dong Xuan said to Lu Pingan.

"Give!"

Lu Pingan handed it to her.

"It's so exquisite."

"It's a big prize anyway."

After looking at it for a while, Dong Xuan returned to the statuette, and said, "I'll be back tomorrow."

"Okay, just say whatever you need."

"No, it cost you a lot of money these days."

"I don't have much money. They are all friends. Don't worry about these."

Lu Pingan waved his hand, and then asked, "Before I leave tomorrow, I will ask Tina to go shopping with you again. Buy a little of everything you need, don't worry."

"Then I'll hit you hard!"

The resentment on his face was less and more relieved.

"Use whatever you want."

Lu Pingan remained calm.

After a little silence for a while, Dong Xuan said, "Do you have time now? Draw me a picture."

"Okay."

Just a small gift to satisfy her.

Dong Xuan then lay down on the sofa, posing in a side-lying position, which looked familiar.

Lu Pingan recognized it: "You are imitating Ruth."

"Yes, you come to be Jack."

"Okay, then don't blame me for drawing you as a pig's head."

Lu Pingan took out his sketchbook and started to draw.

When the painting was finished, Dong Xuan glanced at it and said: "This is not good, the imitation is not enough."

Lu Ping'an was wondering, Dong Xuan took off her clothes, lay down again and made a pose, becoming the real uncut version of "Ruth".

For a moment, the room was full of spring, and the two only looked at each other.

Before Lu Ping'an could speak, Dong Xuan spoke first: "I don't want to leave any regrets."

Saying that, she got up and walked towards Lu Pingan, hugging him.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Ok!"

"it is good"

Early the next morning, before getting up, Dong Xuan asked Lu that he was safe.

"You will remember me in the future, right?"

"meeting."

Lu Pingan nodded.

Dong Xuan got a satisfactory answer, got up from Lu Ping'an, began to take a shower and get dressed.

She is also an adult, and she is an actress. Although she has not entered the industry yet, she has already had a lot of psychological construction for this kind of thing, and she is not as strong and romantic as Lu Ping'an thinks.

This time, out of the long-term accumulation of impulse, after knowing each other for so long and talking for so long, Lu Ping'an's shadow became heavier and heavier in her heart, and it became more and more difficult to ignore.

So when she heard Producer Li's words, she came directly.

But in fact, she had already thought about the worst outcome and was mentally prepared to accept it.

I'm in my 20s, and I'm about to start weighing feelings and interests.

Although it does hurt her heart now.

But now it is enough for him to remember.

At least it's better than not rejecting the other party's comers, otherwise it really seems that I am too cheap, and it also proves that I have misjudged the person.

Now, the worst expected situation has not happened, and it is even not bad, which is a good thing.

"I am leaving."

"it is good."

Dong Xuan turned her head to go out, but stopped at the door, turned her head and ran back, bit Lu Pingan's lips, trying to be cruel, but in the end it turned into a kiss again.

After the kiss, she looked at Lu Pingan: "Lu Pingan, if I agreed to act in the first place, would the current position be mine?"

"If there is no if, time cannot be turned back." Lu Pingan replied with a smile.

"I see."

Dong Xuan stood up, put on a smiling face, and nodded Lu Pingan's lips, "You still owe me three meals, don't forget to pay it back in the future."

"Sha County, I remember."

"That's 30 meals!"

"Row!"

Dong Xuan left, and Tina sent her off.

At noon, Tina came back and said that Dong Xuan only bought some souvenirs and spent a few hundred dollars.

Tina said she was in a bad mood on the way to the airport after shopping.

Lu Pingan nodded to express his understanding.

At least it's better than getting emotionally entangled and sad in the future.

Now that the matter is resolved satisfactorily, she will be praised by Lu Ping'an in the future.

That's it.

The next most important thing is to reap the bonus!
In the face of interests, women are not enough to look at.

. . . . . . . . .

Three days later, all the bonuses about this Oscar were summarized.

The first is the copyright of "Memories".

As a short film, "Memories" is naturally not as valuable as a feature film, but it still achieved quite impressive results.

The global screening rights were sold for 116 million US dollars, a total of 76 countries and regions of TV stations, setting a record among all Lu Ping An's works.

The disc copyright sold for 60 US dollars, not much, but it is quite good for a short film.

So far, Pingan Road has returned the total public relations fee of 82 US dollars.

In addition, Lu Pingan's "Hollywood Landscape Map" on the streets of Los Angeles also sold for 21 US dollars at a subsequent charity auction.

There are three other endorsements.

Versace's endorsement in China totaled 300 million US dollars in two years.

Jaeger-LeCoultre watches are worth 500 million US dollars in three years.

As well as the American local brand, Dell Computer, which costs 400 million US dollars in two years.

For this reason, Lu Pingan also asked Dell, the person in charge of public relations, if he had anything to do with this brand.

Dale told him in a low voice that it didn't matter, but he would occasionally pull the tiger's skin when he was outside.

Lu Ping'an laughed: Sure enough, he was engaged in public relations!
In addition to these, there are some other miscellaneous brands.

But Lu Pingan didn't pick it up, and if he wanted to pick it up, he would pick it up for a domestic brand after returning to China.

In short, the Oscars are a show of fame and fortune. If you win an award and attract attention, you will not lack these things.

There are also various interviews.

Among them, "Time Magazine" is the one that is more valued by Chinese people.

In February, Lao Mouzi became the cover character of the Asia-Pacific edition of "Times", and now in March it is Lu Ping'an's.

At the same time, he will also be featured in the first American edition of Time Magazine in April.

With the success of the Oscar short film and "Chain Saw", Lu Pingan became a celebrity in Hollywood.

In terms of career, Lu Pingan spent 300 million to buy a script.

This is an important part of his impact on the feature film grand slam after ending his short film journey.

In addition, in terms of directors, directors in Hollywood now basically quote between 200 million and 300 million US dollars.

It must be much worse from a great director.

But it is also far more than the general Hollywood director who only directs one or two works.

As for whether to accept business, it depends on Lu Pingan himself.

If there is a big hit project, he will definitely take it, and nothing else.

And at present, it is natural for him to focus on his own project first.

Before returning home, Wattsberg asked him, "When is the next movie going to be shot?"

Lu Pingan told him: "Let's talk about the next project after the accounts are settled."

"Chain Saw 1" was a big hit, bringing Lu Pingan nearly 2000 million US dollars in pre-tax income.

After the money is in place, Lu Pingan will start the next project with Summit. "Chain Saw 2" is definitely planned, and the rest will depend on the situation.

"Don't worry, Lu, I don't bother to do that kind of thing."

"Of course I believe in you, but even if you finish the settlement for me now, I will have to wait a few days before finalizing the script."

"I know."

Wattsberg said with a smile, "Go back and have a good rest, and hope to hear your good news as soon as possible."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Things are basically settled, and this time the Oscars can be described as a huge harvest.

It's time for Lu Pingan to return home.
