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

Chapter 124 Public service advertisement, blamed?Nolan is here
At the end of Huabiao, Lu Pingan and Xu Cainv were interviewed together.

It can be seen that the sponsor has paid a certain amount of attention to the two newcomers in the film industry.

That's the way this kind of award works.

Lu Pingan also accepted the interview according to the rules.

During the period, the reporter asked: "Will the two of you cooperate in the future?"

Lu Pingan: "Of course there is a chance."

Talented girl Xu: "You must find me, I won't accept you if you are polite."

The talented girl Xu in front of the camera is very good at expressing herself, making the two of them look very familiar.

Lu Ping'an also did a good job of managing his expressions, without revealing any flaws.

In fact, the relationship between the two seems to be good from the outside world.

She had come to join Lu Ping An's movies before.

Both of them are from the Beijing area, and both grew up and lived in Chaoyang.

So in fact, the two are not familiar with this matter, and not many people will believe it.

Lu Pingan didn't bother to expose such things, there was no need to provoke others for no reason.

After the brief interview, Lu Ping'an declined Xu Cainv's dinner invitation for a very strong reason, and wanted to discuss matters with Han Sanpin.

After getting in the car, Lu Pingan left Xu Cainv behind and concentrated on talking about the new movie with Han Sanpin.

The production cost of "Wonderful Night" is estimated to be 1000 million to 1500 million. If special effects are added, 3500 million will definitely be required.

"That's 5000 million." Han Sanpin said directly.

The 5000 million production made Han Sanpin very happy.

He asked again: "When will it be ready?"

"It will be done very quickly, and it is expected to be available next summer."

"Still watching Lao Mouzi?"

Lao Mouzi's "House of Flying Daggers" will be officially announced tomorrow, and it is expected to be released next summer. Han Sanpin will naturally think that Lu Ping'an is targeting him.

"The market can only be activated by putting blockbuster movies together."

Lu Pingan's face was not red and his heart was not beating.

Han Sanpin smiled and said: "This time Lao Mouzi's film is more commercial, you have to be fully prepared."

"Do not worry."

Lu Pingan smiled confidently.

Xiang Guoqiang's small goal is already in contact with several distribution companies and theater companies. Before next summer, at least one or two companies can complete the shareholding.

With distribution channels in hand, it will be much easier to do things.

Then Han Sanpin asked about the public service advertisement: "Are you ready to accept it?"

"I'm planning to go over and have a chat tomorrow."

After Lu Pingan answered, he asked, "What's the trick here?"

He realized that Han Sanpin's sudden question about the public service announcement might not be just chatting.

It's just that Han Sanpin still kept it a secret, he told Lu Pingan: "This public service advertisement, if possible, you can do it seriously, it will be beneficial."

"What's the benefit?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow after we finish talking."

"Ok."

Before getting off the car, the two made an appointment to see each other tomorrow, and Lu Pingan got off the car and returned to the courtyard.

As soon as I sat down, the congratulatory message clicked.

Apparently the news of the party has made it to the portal.

Among them, Gao Yuanyuan was still on the phone.

Since April, Gao Yuanyuan has called every now and then, and even Lu Ping'an in Laomei has not let it go.

It's the same this time.

After congratulating her on the phone, she asked, "Would you like to visit the class?"

Gao Yuanyuan fell in love with acting now that "Yi Tian" became popular, and she joined the group of "Oath of the Sea" not long ago, in which Zhang Ruoyun played the boyhood hero.

"I'm not going, I'm busy."

Lu Pingan directly refused.

My big director, go to visit the set?

Gao Yuanyuan was not surprised at all, and then said: "Then I will come to you in a few days."

"Great talent Zhang will be jealous!"

"Oh, didn't I tell you a long time ago, I have nothing to do with him."

"Ah yes yes yes."

Such conversations have actually been going on since July.

Gao Yuanyuan said that she was single, but Lu Pingan didn't believe it, but the other party explained that she didn't believe it, and then repeated it over and over again.

Do you actually believe in Ping An?
Believe it or not, at this stage he has no time to pay attention to this matter, he is busy, just chatting on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Danchen urged: "Take a shower!"

"Come on~"

The next day Lu Ping An came to CCTV on time.

The relevant leaders of CCTV were in charge of the interview. At the same time, Director Jiang also came. This person is not from CCTV.

Lu Ping'an guessed that this was probably what Han Sanpin said.

Then the director of CCTV praised Lu Pingan's achievements in short films.

After chatting for a few words, let's get down to business.

"The themes of our public service advertisements this year are similar to those of previous years, focusing on children, women, the elderly, family affection, environmental protection, and advocating civilized qualities."

Director Wang said a lot.

This form is completely different from the general advertising bidding.

The status and achievements are different, and the way of treatment will naturally be different.

So the other party does not look at whether you can do it, but which one you are willing to do. If you do it, it will be broadcast.

Because the "short film Grand Slam director's work" already has a great publicity effect, which is the most beneficial for public service advertisements.

If the work is really bad, that's okay, CCTV can give you ideas, and you can shoot it, and you can also successfully complete the publicity task.

Of course, the themes should be limited, because there are many themes that actually have good solutions.

So after the introduction, Director Wang asked:

"Director Xiaolu, it depends on which one you are better at. Just submit the plan before November. If possible, you can focus on the two themes of caring for the elderly and women."

Lu Pingan said directly: "You don't need November, you can give it now."

Director Wang and the others were a little surprised when they heard the words, but they quickly realized that Lu Pingan was probably already prepared.

That's good, at least if you are prepared, it means you pay attention.

As a result, Lu Pingan said again: "Give me a pen and paper, I will write now."

Everyone was slightly surprised after hearing this, but they also quickly expressed their understanding, perhaps because they came in a hurry.

After a while, the pen and paper were in place, and Lu Pingan wrote down the script.

Regarding CCTV's public service advertisements, he had seen too many in his previous life.

As an art student, I first majored in visual communication, that is, graphic design, and later changed my major to environmental art design, that is, interior decoration.

During his freshman year, he had seen many advertising proposals.

Of course, even if you haven't studied it, I believe most people have seen those super classic advertisements on CCTV.

For example, "Mom Washes Feet", this advertisement filmed in 99 has been accompanied by countless post-90s.

There are also advertisements for caring for the elderly that read "Busy, everyone is busy, hurry up" and public moral advertisements "Kicking cans on the subway", both of which are super classics.

But these cannot be copied, because these two have already come out this year.

So if you want to copy, just copy the later big tear gas bomb: "Packing"

After finishing the script, Lu Pingan handed it to Director Wang.

Director Wang looked expectant, and after glancing at it, his eyelids immediately raised a lot.

Then look carefully.

This is an ad about Alzheimer's disease.

The old father is getting old and suffering from Alzheimer's, his memory is getting worse and worse, and he can't even remember his son.

This caused a lot of trouble to my son.

Once eating in a restaurant, the old father saw that there were the last two dumplings on the plate, so he picked them up and stuffed them into his pocket.

This made the son unable to step down immediately.

But the old father said: This is for my son, my son loves this the most.

Director Wang felt his heart was caught after watching it.

He held back his emotions and handed the script to Director Jiang beside him. Afterwards, Director Jiang read it and passed it to the next one.

For a while, the office fell silent.

A group of men in their 50s and [-]s didn't speak.

It wasn't until the last person finished watching that Director Wang nodded and said with emotion: "As expected of the short film No.1, Lu Gui, I admire it!"

Lu Pingan replied with a smile: "This should be enough, right?"

Director Wang asked, "Do you have any other ideas?"

"Then those who care about women, mothers are also women, no problem."

Lu Pingan smiled and continued to draw with the brush.

This time, it's about mothers: "What is Love"

Soon, several sub-shots were drawn.

Director Wang and others have also witnessed the whole painting process.

In the script, it is the process of a mother and son changing from young to old.

Accompanied by the text "What is love."

Son childhood: love, as long as you are happy.

Son in his youth: Love is to accompany you for a lifetime.

Son grows up: Love is the passing of youth without regrets, and your high flying is my comfort.

The son got married and left his mother: Love is waiting crazily.

With four simple stages, accompanied by text and split-shot images, a group of big men in the office fell silent again.

A few seconds later, Director Wang sighed again: "Master Lu Dao, I think these two can be used."

Of course it can be used. This is what your family produced.

Lu Pingan smiled and said, "Then order these two?"

"can."

Director Wang nodded with a smile.

At this time, Director Jiang asked, "These two ideas, did the road guide come up with it on the spur of the moment?"

When Director Jiang asked, Director Wang and others responded.

It's okay to talk about one script, but it's a bit unusual to write two scripts temporarily and focus on the mentioned themes.

However, Lu Pingan expressed modesty: "No, no, I had this idea before. I knew I was going to make a public service advertisement, so I perfected it. I didn't expect such a coincidence. The script was left at home, and you just mentioned these two themes."

In fact, Lu Ping'an wanted to pretend to be big, but after thinking about it carefully, forget it.

It would be really difficult to ask him to think about something else.

So just be humble.

But he wanted to be humble, and some people didn't think so.

Director Jiang looked at Lu Pingan with a smile on his face, his eyes full of appreciation.

But now he didn't say anything.

Lu Pingan didn't notice either.

After a while, the matter was settled, and the two public service announcements were confirmed.

Lu Ping'an will finish filming in the next week, and the broadcast will be during the Spring Festival.

The remuneration is 1 yuan, [-] a piece, which is given by Yang Ma, so I have to accept it.

After the end, Lu Pingan, Director Wang and others had a meal in Yangma's cafeteria, and saw the still green Sa Beining from a distance.

Without saying hello, Lu Pingan went to Han Sanpin's after eating.

When he arrived at the place, Han Sanpin asked, "Is the surname Jiang?"

"Yes, what is this person's background?"

Han Sanpin smiled and said, "It's from the Olympic Organizing Committee."

"...No way?"

Lu Pingan asked, "Could it be possible that you really have a crush on me?"

Han Sanpin then smiled and said, "You are the No.1 short film, of course I will take you into consideration."

Lu Ping'an suddenly became numb, he had thought about this possibility.

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, if 08 lets him go, he will be willing to go, no matter how difficult it is, he will bear it, but 04?

Even if Athens did it for him in 8 minutes, he couldn't bear it.

First, there is no idea for reference, and second, even if there is reference, he has no experience in organizing it. If he copied Lao Mouzi, he would organize it, but Athens would be scolded to death in 8 minutes.

Lao Mouzi was scolded for 4 years after he was in Athens. It was not until the 08 Olympics that he was completely washed away and became a national teacher in one fell swoop.

If Lu Ping'an came, would he have such a fate?
If 08 is also given to him, then 04 will be scolded.

But is 08 possible?
Even if he copied Lao Mouzi's idea, he was not qualified to be elected.

Movies, and this kind of grand event, are completely two concepts.

Unless you have a lot of awards, are hard enough, and have a huge box office performance, and there is no other suitable candidate in the whole country except you, you can really be elected.

So about 08, in fact, Lu Pingan didn't think about it at all.

Now 08 is impossible, but Athens gave you a chance to take the blame?

In this way, this infamy may have to be recited for a lifetime!

"I'm not ready, I'm not capable, don't go!"

Lu Pingan shook his head directly.

Han Sanpin became curious: "This kind of opportunity can't be obtained by anyone else, and the matter has not yet been decided, why are you backing down?"

Lu Pingan said with a helpless face: "It's because the matter is so important that I'm cautious. It's not that I quit. If I run for the chief director of 08 in a few years, I'm sure I'll be fine, but I'm only 21 years old now. After a few years, how do you convince the public?"

Han Sanpin laughed after hearing this: "You still have a little self-knowledge."

After finishing speaking, he took a sip of the tea ceremony, "Don't worry, this time is an investigation and investigation, and there will be a meeting at that time, and it still won't be your turn in the end, but you will have the opportunity to participate in other parties and the like."

This sounded depressing, but Lu Pingan was still relieved.

Anyway, just don't let him take the blame. As for other parties, I'm not interested.

Han Sanpin continued: "Don't be unconvinced, just like what you said yourself, with low qualifications, little experience, and young age, no one would dare to entrust you with such a task."

"It's okay if you don't say it, but I'm really a little unconvinced when I say it this way."

Lu Pingan laughed and joked.

"It's okay not to be convinced. If you are not convinced, then make a good movie in the past few years, so that the box office of the awards will rise. Maybe the 08 Olympics will really be campaigned for. It's a matter of Guangzong Yaozu's lifetime. If you have the opportunity, you must seize it! "

I have to say that Han Sanpin's prediction was right.

But no matter how you listen to this matter, it is a bit suspicious.

Can Han Sanpin know that even if he campaigns, he still can't run away from the appointment?

So his goal is still movies.

Lu Pingan smiled and said, "Uncle Han, don't worry, I will make box office movies, and I won't miss out on award-winning movies."

Han Sanpin smiled and pointed to Lu Ping An, then poured tea.

The topic of the Olympics ended here, the two chatted again, drank two pots of tea, and Lu Pingan said goodbye and left.

On the way, he received a call from Watts: "Someone really recommended himself."

"Who?"

"The director of Memento, Christopher Nolan."

Nolan still came to the door.

"You can chat, let him come to China."

After hanging up the phone, after a while, Watts called again, and Nolan said he could come over.

It looks like this guy is bound to win.

Lu Ping'an was very satisfied.

So he immediately started transcribing the script.

Nolan, I must be the one who led the flight!
