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

Chapter 12 Chinese New Year, shortlisted

The next day Lu Pingan dressed up, drove to school on the A6, and sent Zhou Yiwei to the station.

After entering the school, I happened to meet Yan Danchen again.

"Hello, we meet again."

Lu Pingan took the initiative to say hello.

Not surprisingly, Yan Danchen did not recognize him at first sight.

After watching for a long time, she was sure that the man in front of her was actually Lu Pingan.

"You, why have you changed so much?"

I have to say that Lu Ping An is much more pleasing to the eye now than it was more than a month ago.

He took off his glasses, changed to a refreshing hairstyle, his appearance was liberated, and his body was not so thin. Although he was still thin, he looked more fleshy.

Moreover, he seems to have grown a bit taller, and his dressing style has also changed, becoming trendy.

Now it looks like this, which really makes her feel a little surprised.

"It seems that you didn't pay attention to it before. I just took off my glasses."

"So you're Superman, you can't be recognized by taking off your eyes."

"I don't have Superman's kinks."

"What hobbies does Superman have?"

"Wear it outside the underwear, it's still red."

"Ha ha..."

Yan Danchen covered her mouth and laughed.

This scene made Zhou Yiwei and Zhang Songwen, who went upstairs and downstairs to carry their luggage alone, shouted in their hearts that they were not righteous.

When they were ready to move and were ready to leave, the two finished chatting, and Yan Danchen sighed at this moment: "It's nice to have a car, it's convenient to come and go freely."

Lu Pingan answered at the right time: "When will you go home?"

"Tickets for the morning after tomorrow."

"Do you need my help? You will be charged less."

"There's still a fare."

"of course."

"How much?"

"A movie."

Hearing this, Yan Danchen was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed again.

After all, there are not many people who are as direct as Lu Pingan these days.

And this method was used by Lu Pingan very naturally, without the slightest greasy or self-righteous feeling.

Yan Danchen didn't feel any discomfort.

But just when she said that she had to think about it, Lu Pingan smiled and said:

"I was joking with you, let's go, see you next year."

After finishing speaking, Lu Pingan got into the car and kicked the accelerator to drive out.

This made Yan Danchen gritted her teeth in a bewildered expression. She felt that this elementary school boy was really a bit mean!

. . . . . . .

After leaving the school gate, Zhou Yiwei said enviously in the car: "You drove the car around the school, and the whole school knows you."

There are many rich students in schools like Beiying, but these days it is really rare to drive an A6 by yourself.

In the past, when Lu Pingan drove into the school, he always went to the teacher's office building, but this time he showed up directly downstairs in the dormitory.

So Lu Pingan is more eye-catching this time.

But Lu Pingan was very calm:
"I'd rather not be famous for being rich."

Zhang Songwen in the back seat gave a thumbs up: "High ideological awareness!"

Lu Pingan smiled and said: "So you guys want to spread the news to me later, saying that I borrowed the car."

"Understood, the bigger the boss, the more low-key you have to be. I'll tell them later that you owe millions of dollars."

"But please don't, I still want to pick up girls."

"Bah! Disgusting!" ×2
When we arrived at the train station, we saw off Zhou Yiwei, and then went to the airport to see off Zhang Songwen.

Then he went back to the store and worked for a while, and in the afternoon he sent Ning Hao away again.

It was already night when Lu Pingan turned back to school again.

Looking at the time, Lu Pingan took a doll that had been customized earlier and went directly to Beiying.

When we arrived at the girls' dormitory building, Lu Ping'an put the packed huge gift box at the aunt's place.

Then he called Yan Danchen.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Yan Danchen's voice sounded a little stiff, and it seemed that he had some minor complaints about Lu Pingan's flirting during the day.

Lu Pingan ignored it, and said directly: "I'll give you something, and I'll leave it with your aunt in the dormitory. Goodbye."

beep beep. . .

Yan Danchen was puzzled.

But I still went down to look, and I saw a huge box.

She called Lu Pingan immediately: "What is this, it's so big."

"You'll know when you open it, it cost me a lot of money."

"Waste, I don't want it!"

"Open it and have a look before talking. If you don't like it, throw it away."

"What is it exactly?"

"I'm so surprised that you find out by yourself, goodbye."

The other person hung up the phone again, Yan Danchen was really annoyed by him.

But she was really curious about what Lu Ping An would give her.

It is said that it is still expensive?
So she simply took it back to the dormitory to have a look before talking.

Fortunately, the box is not heavy, so she can carry it back to the dormitory by herself.

After returning to the dormitory, she opened the box.

The result was found.

This is a throw pillow?
Oh, it's a rag doll, the big one.

But when she took out the whole doll, she burst out laughing on the spot.

Because this puppet looks like a blue shark, but it has six eyes!

Six-eyed flying fish!

Yan Danchen immediately remembered the joke at the finale banquet.

It made her laugh uncontrollably.

After a while, Lu Pingan received a text message from her: "You are so childish."

"Do you like it? It's tailor-made for you. It will let you have a little more courage to accompany you on the way back."

"childish!"

"Then give it back to me."

The other side replied quickly: "No!"

Lu Ping'an's eyes lit up.

Interesting slightly!

Lu Pingan put down his phone with a smile on his face.

The body becomes young and healthy, and the mentality also becomes much younger.

What he enjoys is this kind of feeling, doing childish things, teasing the girls, as for who the heroine is, it doesn't really matter.

No, this is not childish.

After all, if you want to be healthy and live a long life, then make more friends with the opposite sex.

Lu Pingan still cherishes his life.

The next morning Lu Pingan went to school and sent Yan Danchen to the station.

He also has a Burger King store at the station, and he goes to check it out every day, so it's just a matter of dropping by if he doesn't seize this opportunity.

If you have a thicker skin, you can eat more in the future. Lu Pingan, who has lived for almost 30 years, knows this truth well.

. . . . . .

Soon, New Year's Eve arrived.

This year's New Year's Eve will be very lonely for the original owner, but it is normal for Lu Pingan. In his previous life, he spent New Year's Eve alone every year, and he is used to it.

So these days, relatives of the original owner called and asked him to come and celebrate the New Year together, but Lu Pingan declined, saying that he was going to travel for the New Year this year.

The facts have been settled, and the relatives are not good at saying anything, but let him go to visit after the next year.

This is unavoidable, Lu Pingan naturally agreed.

In the morning, red envelopes were distributed to the employees of Burger King, and then everyone had a New Year's Eve dinner together. Burger King will not be closed for the Chinese New Year, and business will continue, so Lu Pingan will not be idle.

In the afternoon, he bought food and drink, and stayed at home alone, waiting for this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Reminiscent of the "exploding" Spring Festival Gala in this era, Lu Ping'an's sense of anticipation is overwhelming, and the sense of superiority of the traveler is also spontaneously born.

He still remembered that on the New Year's Eve before time travel, he made an appointment to watch the Spring Festival Gala with his friends, but Xiao Yueyue turned off the TV after he came out.

Even Xiao Yueyue can't stand it, so what's the point.

It is different now, this year there is Ekin Cheng, Coco Lee is popular, Feng Gong is still young, and the most important thing is Uncle Benshan's "Selling Abductees".

The cross talks in the sketches are all good, there is no purpose of preaching, just pure joy.

The audience laughed so hard that they were not pretending.

New Year's Eve, that's how it should be.

And of course, the little girl.

"Happy New Year, little brother."

Yan Danchen's text message lit up.

Lu Pingan replied: "Not happy."

"Unhappy? Why?"

"Walking in the living room."

"Walking? Why are you walking in the living room?"

"I want to make sure I have long or short legs."

"So you're also watching the Spring Festival Gala?"

These days, how many people in China don’t watch the Spring Festival Gala?

So Yan Danchen's words are basically nonsense.

But Lu Pingan likes to talk nonsense.

Because girls who can talk nonsense to you are hard to find.

"Yeah, what a coincidence, it's yes if you have a heart-to-heart connection."

"Who wants to have a tacit understanding with you little brat."

"I'm not young."

"Pooh..."

The two chatted like this until the phone calls came in one after another, it was Zhang Songwen and the others.

"Happy New Year and peace."

A series of New Year's greetings hovered in the air.

The New Year's bell and firecrackers also sounded in due course.

New Year!
. . . . . .

After the new year, the relatives called again, asking when he would come to pay New Year's greetings.

No need for Lu Pingan to say, everyone arranged the time.

Probably from the fourth day of junior high school, uncles, sisters-in-law, uncles and the like came back one by one to pay New Year's greetings.

The blood relatives and friends of this body are usually busy, and they can only get together during the Chinese New Year, so it is not easy to hide.

Lu Pingan was actually not used to this kind of concern.

The original owner is introverted and withdrawn, some of them don't know what's going on outside the window, and they don't know their relatives very well.

And Lu Pingan himself only had New Year's greetings between friends and teachers. He really didn't have this kind of relatives, and there was no such condition.

But now that he has it, he always feels that he can't integrate into it. After all, he still thinks that this is not his relationship.

So throughout the first day of the new year, he was thinking about how to pay New Year's greetings, whether to pretend to send it to the end, or what, he had a headache.

But fortunately, on the day of the second day of junior high school, Teacher Hu rescued him from the sea of ​​suffering with a phone call.

"Ping An, "The Tuner" has been shortlisted for the short film competition!"

Now Lu Ping An does not need to pay New Year's greetings, the reason is to go to Berlin.

On January 1th, Lu Pingan and Zhang Songwen landed in Berlin, and Mr. Hu picked them up in person.

"Teacher Hu, it's hard work."

Mr. Hu spent the Chinese New Year in Berlin for his short film this time.

This moved Lu Pingan very much.

But after Mr. Hu explained, he knew that he was moved in vain.

"The school is subsidized, and my wife is also on business in Berlin. In fact, this time I am here, it is tantamount to traveling at public expense."

Lu Pingan laughed, but thanked Teacher Hu very much.

Among other things, at least these days he is helping to run around Berlin.

After getting in the car, Mr. Hu began to popularize the format of this short film.

"I talked with Director Xie Fei, Director Xie Fei is very optimistic about this film, but he said, in fact, the best place for "The Tuner" is Venice..."

The three major European film festivals have their own artistic purposes in measuring films.

And only one of the three entries can be selected. This is an unspoken rule. If everyone participates in the election, they will be laughed at in the world.

Cannes focuses on realistic themes and artistic value, and is generally held in June.

Berlin focuses on war and politics and is usually held in February.

Venice focuses on artistry and personalization, and is generally held in August.

Among them, the weight of Berlin is relatively the lightest, and Cannes is the heaviest.

According to director Xie Fei, Venice is the best place for the current "Tuner" short film, and it is a bit biased if it is shown in Berlin.

So this time "The Tuner" can be shortlisted in the Berlin Short Film Competition, which is already considered good news. As for whether it can win the prize in the end, we can't hold out too much hope.

Of course, the possibility of winning the grand prize is not ruled out, because Xie Fei said, it depends on how the jury interprets it.

The three European awards are different from the Oscars. The Oscars are selected by thousands of people. The European three are only selected by a jury of more than a dozen people, so the public agrees, but here it is not necessarily true. This is also the gold content of the European three has always been guaranteed. one of the reasons.

It's just that Xie Fei also said that he will definitely not be able to help at that time, because he is the judge of the main competition unit, and the short film is for other units, and there will be another group of judges.

Lu Pingan didn't care about it, and Hu Qingquan didn't have much regret.

Because Hu Qingquan said, it has already been shortlisted. This is a success for the Chinese short film, and it is also a very beautiful qualification for Lu Pingan!
If he really wins the Silver Bear or even the Golden Bear in the short film, that's fine, it's hard for Lu Pingan to keep a low profile.

Although the short film golden bear is not as good as the feature film golden bear, it is also a golden bear.

Those who are knowledgeable may not be too popular, just like those who engage in cinema movies are not too popular on the Internet, but others may not.

In the current domestic environment, many media will be able to blow it up for anyone who is involved in some unknown foreign pheasant awards, let alone the top three in Europe.

So before coming here, Lu Pingan had already seen newspaper reports saying that if the short film of Beijing Film Group really won the award this time, it would break the record of the Chinese in the Berlin short film awards. This is definitely big news, even if the short film Neither is the main competition unit.

Lu Pingan and Hu Qingquan remained sober about this.

It is best to hold it, not to pull it down.

Because being shortlisted has already completed the task, and the rest is to see how much money can be made.

Short films are the same as feature films. The biggest benefit brought by being shortlisted for awards is the bonus in copyright transactions. The difference is only in the amount.

Hu Qingquan said: "For the films that have been shortlisted, the organizer will help promote them. Many film producers have already contacted me..."
