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

Chapter 112 Finalize, become bigger and stronger?

The report on this year's Academy Awards came out the next day.

Regardless of the mainland or Hong Kong media, there is no particularly big controversy over the results of the awards.

It is true that the quality of "Source Code" is higher than that of "Hero" in the eyes of the mainland people, but the several category awards won by "Hero" are indeed incomparable to "Source Code", while "Source Code" is comparable , It can't compare to "Infernal Affairs".

So the Academy Award was dubbed "fair and just", and the gold content went up a bit.

Lu Pingan didn't have time to take care of this kind of thing, he was chatting with Han Sanpin of China Film Group and the big bosses of Xiangjiang.

Through the window of signing the agreement at the dry port and the Golden Image Awards, Hongkong and all parties involved in mainland film and television held small talks.

The form is not formal, it is a bilateral exchange meeting.

Lu Pingan chatted with several big companies in Xiangjiang in the name of joint distribution.

His main purpose this time is to hit the front line.

One is for future theaters and distribution, and the other is for various copyrights.

In terms of theaters and distribution, Golden Harvest is the top priority.

Since this year, Golden Harvest no longer has a film production business, but has turned to film distribution and theaters.

In 07, the new domestic entertainment company Orange Sky and Golden Harvest jointly established Orange Sky Golden Harvest, which will become one of the well-known domestic film distributors in the future.

Its theaters are located in Xiangjiang, Bay Bay, Southeast Asia and the Mainland.

If Lu Pingan wants to participate in the distribution in the future, Jiehu Chengtian can do it.

He currently has plenty of funds in his hands.

Laomei's various income over the past year has been invested in the stock market one after another. By the second half of the year, the total funds will reach more than [-] million US dollars according to the forecast.

There are many things that can be done with this money, among which the layout of theatrical distribution in Asia must be done.

In the future, Orange Sky will buy more than 20% of Zou Wenhuai's shares for about two to three billion Hong Kong dollars, which Lu Pingan can fully afford.

On the other hand, it is the copyright of the works in the hands of various Xiangjiang film companies.

This is to pave the way for future video sites.

A website has a huge film library, which is a great advantage.

Now that video sites haven’t come out yet, and the price of online copyrights is not high, many people don’t even pay attention to this aspect of the Internet, but it won’t be so in a few years.

So after making the front stand, Xiang Guoqiang can talk slowly and try to get a batch at a low price to prepare for the future.

After chatting with each other, it will be another day. The next day, he will return to Sichuan safely. The rest will be left to Xiang Guoqiang, and he will just concentrate on being a good director.

The impact of SARS in the Mainland has gradually emerged, and many places have begun isolation measures.

Lu Pingan held a meeting for the people in the production center, and prepared enough medicines and medical equipment. It would be best if he could survive safely. If something happened, he should not panic.

On April 4, the short film in Venice was completed.

[Congratulations on completing "Dinner for a Few People", the restoration rate is 92%, and the rewards have been issued]

92% restoration is as expected. It is the first time to do 3D animation, and there will inevitably be defects.

Then Lu Pingan looked at the reward.

["Dinner for the Few" Reward: Five Secret Seasoning Formulas for Meat Food]

That's a bonus that's perfect for the housewife.

Nope, that's great for a fried chicken shop too!
With these five seasoning flavors, Lu Pingan felt that the competitiveness of his fried chicken restaurant could rise to a higher level.

"This is forcing me to become bigger and stronger!"

Lu Pingan accepted the reward with a smile.

It just so happens that the capital city may have epidemic prevention measures in a few days, and the business of the fried chicken shop will be affected to a certain extent. Take advantage of this time to upgrade the food of the fried chicken shop.

As long as the secret recipe is involved, relevant confidentiality measures have to be taken.

It seems that Li Chenggong has to be treated more.

As for the offer, you can still use it if you can.

The short film is done, and Lu Ping'an's next task is to bring the short film back to Beijing to make related soundtracks.

It is expected to be completed before May, and then sent to Venice together with Ning Hao's "Incense".

As for the production center, Lu Pingan also arranged a task, that is, to take the scene and determine the various characters in "Kung Fu Panda".

The most important of these is the style of painting.

Since it is China's "Kung Fu Panda", in addition to the plot, the image and painting style must be changed.

Lu Pingan asked everyone to brainstorm, and the task within half a year was to take the scene, and then according to the main scenes in the play, come up with everyone's favorite shape and style.

The general framework of the script has been set. The framework for the growth of a small character into a hero does not need to be changed, and several main scenes do not need to be changed. With the skeleton of Shi Youle, many things can be moved first.

After the decision is made, the detailed script can probably be completed, and then the formal production will start, when the time comes to fill in the details on the skeleton.

After arranging everything and telling him to pay attention to epidemic prevention, Lu Pingan went to the mountains to bid farewell to Guorong, and returned to Beijing that night.

After returning to the capital, the SARS epidemic began to spread.

On the 16th, WHO officially named the SARS virus.

In the next few days, the number of cases in Beijing increased, and then the epidemic situation was reported once a day. Primary and junior high schools began to suspend classes, and colleges and universities began to be closed to a limited extent.

For the sake of safety, Lu Ping An's 7 fried chicken restaurants were closed, and the wages were still paid. This time was dedicated to experimenting and developing five secret recipes.

The chicken made with five secret recipes has a unique taste and will become a big selling point of fried chicken shops in the future.

Lu Pingan couldn't help thinking that it would be even better if Golden Finger could reward broiler breeds. This is a big project worth hundreds of billions.
Li Chenggong was officially promoted to be the general manager and enjoys stock options. Lu Pingan allocated another 1000 million to him, just waiting for the epidemic to show his strength. During this period, his task is to buy stores and build structures for future expansion. prepare for.

After finishing the secret recipe, Lu Pingan continued to work on the post-production of the short film.

During the period, Yan Danchen went to Wuhan, and he accepted a new drama called "Death Diary", which will be filmed for four months.

Yan Danchen is now well-known, and she is low-key and down-to-earth. The show crew saw her image as a female officer in "Source Code" and asked her tentatively. They didn't plan to win her at first. After all, movie actors are expensive, and the other party is not very popular money.

But Yan Danchen liked the script very much, so he lowered his salary to act.

Lu Pingan glanced at the cast list for the show, and searched his memory for a long time before he found out that the play was later called "The Silent Witness".

After Yan Danchen left, Lu Pingan didn't stay alone in the empty room at night.

Zhang Songwen and Baoqiang would come to the courtyard from time to time, and occasionally cook. Anyway, they didn't have much place to go during the SARS period.

Zhang Songwen held a training class. Recently, the epidemic situation has been temporarily closed, and the crew did not go. I will follow Jiang Wen when he comes back from work.

Baoqiang made some money by running with Lu Pingan some time ago, but recently the epidemic has nowhere to go, so he came here for a meal.

On Monday, I joined an anti-Japanese drama crew, unknown, and it is estimated that it will not be broadcast in the future.

Ning Hao also came over occasionally, and together with Xing Aina, Xing Aina always had a lot of screenwriting questions to ask Lu Pingan.

Lu Ping'an was sure that it was Ning Hao who came to prostitute him for free.

Not only him, but these few are all here to prostitute for free!
