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

Chapter 110 Athens 8 minutes?

"You are not bad. Backed by mountains and rivers, far away from the hustle and bustle, it is a good place for retirement."

Bashu production center, Han Sanpin sat down to drink tea after visiting, so commented.

"Mainly to get closer to the pandas."

Lu Pingan poured water for him, and Han Sanpin asked again, "In the future, are they all here?"

"That won't be the case. The preliminary work will be done here. Maybe next year, they will move back to the capital."

"How much are you planning to invest in this panda project?"

"Tens of millions are definitely needed. Animation is different from other things."

"That's true. The 99D version of "Lotus Lantern" in 2 cost 1200 million. Your 3D version may cost hundreds of millions."

"Actually, 3D will be much cheaper later"

The two chatted about Kung Fu Panda for a while, and then made a short film of Venice.

Today is April 4th, the completion of the Venice short film is about 5%, and the film is basically formed.

After watching it, Han Sanpin praised and said: "If you can really win the award in Venice, you will be one of the four major short film grand slams in the world."

"I see it more openly. The three major European awards are not the same as the Oscars."

"It's already very good. Now you have won three from the Big Four, and you can't find many in the whole world. The higher-ups appreciate you very much."

"How to say?"

Lu Pingan asked immediately.

He knew that Han Sanpin wouldn't say that for no reason.

It's just that Han Sanpin's expression remained calm: "The directors are being recruited these days, and they are the candidates for the BJ8-minute director of the Athens Olympics. You are on the list."

After Lu Pingan heard this, his expression calmed down.

The BJ 8-minute chief director of the closing ceremony of Athens next year is not a matter of competition.

The high probability is all default.

Only after Lao Mouzi "screwed up" for 8 minutes, the country was criticized from top to bottom, and then the whole society began to recruit the chief director of the 08 Olympic Games.

Lu Ping'an was actually thinking, maybe the so-called recruitment at that time was also a default decision.

That is to say, when the great poet Chen recited poems, it was not arrogance, but a cry, a struggle?
Shaking his head, Lu Pingan didn't think about it.

Sure enough, Han Sanpin then said: "Don't have any hope, this kind of thing has no end."

Han Sanpin said that there are many people on the list this time.

In addition to film directors, there are also many directors who have experience in various evening parties.

But who to choose in the end, he guessed that the higher-ups should already have an idea.

Han Sanpin felt that Lao Mouzi had the greatest probability.

After all, Lao Mouzi's qualifications in all aspects are the strongest among domestic directors, especially in terms of foreign fame.

Lu Pingan nodded in approval.

He doesn't like many of Lao Mouzi's later films, but the current Lao Mouzi is indeed not comparable to him.

In addition to people's grasp of traditional culture and the artistry of film and television works.

In terms of awards alone, Lu Pingan won three top awards for short films among the top four in the world, and was the first in China to win an Oscar, but it was still not enough for him.

Lao Mouzi won the grand slam of the jury awards of the three major European film festivals (the jury awards are equivalent to the second film of the year): "Raise the Red Lantern" in Venice in 91, "To Live" in Cannes in 94, "I am" in Berlin in 00 father mother".

In addition, there are three highest awards: the Berlin Golden Bear Award for "Red Sorghum" in 88, the Venice Golden Lion Award for "A Lawsuit by Qiu Ju" in 92 and "Not One Less" in 99.

In addition, they have also won many more magical awards of the three major domestic awards.

How does this compare?
Than the box office?
In the face of such a national event, the box office is nothing!It might even have the opposite effect.

Of course, Lu Pingan also wants to become a "National Teacher" Dangdang and become an Olympic director, although he can boast for a lifetime.

But the current Lu Pingan is not qualified, unless Lu Pingan can win all four awards within two years, achieve a name that exceeds almost everyone's expectations, and catch up with the chief director election in the first half of 05.

But now it seems that this is unlikely
After chatting briefly for a while, it was almost time, Lu Pingan greeted Guorong, and went to Xiangjiang to participate in this year's Golden Statue Awards with Han Sanpin.

This time "Source Code" was also produced by Eagle King, so it was able to participate in the Academy Awards, and was shortlisted for 7 awards in total.

"Hero" is even more fierce, with 12.

It looked like a lot, but Lu Pingan didn't have any expectations.

After all, this is Xiangjiang's Hong Kong Film Awards, and this year is also the year of "Infernal Affairs".

They set up a stage, how could they sing for others.

With so many nominations, there will be some suspicions of pulling people up.

What's more, "Source Code" is not as suspenseful as "Infernal Affairs" in Lu Pingan's opinion.

So he didn't want to go at first, and he had already thought about the reasons. For SARS, safety comes first.

However, Han Sanpin came over in person to see Lu Ping'an's animation project, and then went along with him.

As an official person, Han Sanpin signed an agreement with the mainland this year, and he is going to go.

Now that he brought Lu Pingan with him, Lu Pingan couldn't hold back.

In fact, domestic practitioners are still yearning for being able to go to the Academy Awards.

Although the country is currently experiencing a box office frenzy of blockbuster movies, the real box office frenzy will not come until next year.

Although the Xiangjiang film market seems to have weakened a lot, the mainland film industry as a whole is still much behind Xiangjiang.

This is not only objectively, but also subjectively.

When Hong Kong and Taiwan stars come to the mainland, their wealth still crushes the mainland stars. Without Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, various film and television dramas will not get much attention. This is a clear example.

Mainland stars, whenever they have a chance, will want to get involved with Xiangjiang and gild themselves.

This situation will continue for nearly ten years!
It is indeed rare for Lu Pingan to be less interested in Xiangjiang now.

After Lu Pingan explained some things, the group set off.

That night, everyone landed in Xiangjiang, and Lu Pingan checked into the hotel arranged by Yindu.

At this time, Yan Danchen and other main creators were already in the hotel.

Yan Danchen and Yu Feihong were chatting together.

Lu Ping'an remained calm, as did the two women.

The other party doesn't know each other's identities, only Lu Pingan knows, it's quite exciting to think about it.

Everyone greeted, and then they were amazed at the changes in Guorong.

It's the same feeling as Han Sanpin said in the morning, "I'm thinner, darker, and my eyes are much brighter".

Then everyone ate together, Yinghuang's also came, and Guanxi, whom Lu Ping'an had known before, came with him.

A few months ago, Guanxi's new movie "Thousands of Changes" was released, and after that, he will act in "Infernal Affairs 2", which can be said to have gone straight to the sky and has infinite scenery.

During the meeting, Boss Yinghuang Yang asked Lu Pingan about his next project: "If the road guide has a plan, we can try to shoot together once."

In June this year, the mainland and Xiangjiang will sign a related trade agreement, which also sounded the clarion call for Xiangjiang films and capital to enter the mainland market.

If you want to be successful in the mainland, or if a mainland director wants to increase his reputation, the form of co-production between Xiangjiang and the mainland is a good choice.

It's just that Lu Ping'an's answer is the same as that of Han Sanpin on the road: "There is a script that is ready to start, and it is used for a small cost to compete for awards. Let's talk about co-productions later."

It's okay to co-produce, but he doesn't have any psychological burden for the Hong Kong movie.

but not now.

Now he's busy with things.

After dinner, Guorong went back to deal with his own affairs. The main creators originally wanted to visit Xiangjiang, but now Xiangjiang is in the SARS period.

It is currently April, and SARS is getting more and more serious in Xiangjiang, and everyone is feeling sorry for their lives.

China Film Group also distributed masks, thermometers, etc. to everyone. The strength is naturally not comparable to that of the mask era later, but it also made the creators panic.

While resting at the hotel at night, Yan Danchen sent a message: "Warm up the bed."

After a while, Yu Feihong's message also came: "Do you want to come over?"

Of course Lu Ping'an chose Yan Danchen, the real girlfriend.

So he replied to Yu Feihong: "Let's talk about it when we return to Beijing, let's talk about things."

The other person replied quickly: "I want to go back to Shanghai."

"Then go to Laomei in July. These days are quite busy."

"it is good."
