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

Chapter 133 131 Birthday, the first echelon, the epic movie of the great poet!
After arriving at the set, Lu Pingan parked the car in the underground parking lot of the trade city.

The two walked together and were about to arrive at a crowded place. Zeng Li stopped and gave way to Lu Ping An.

This is a small tacit understanding, but Lu Pingan did not forget to keep his face on the city wall: "Don't be distracted when shooting, it's not good for people to see you always looking at me."

Zeng Li burst out laughing.

When he got to the set, he always looked like a child, but he changed the appearance of Lu Pingan, who was unscrupulous and flamboyant.

Now that many actors have started to put on makeup, Lu Pingan walked by one by one, with firm and focused eyes, giving pointers from time to time.

This kind of Lu Ping An, Zeng Li had already seen it yesterday.

Seeing it now, to be honest, is indeed charming.

It's hard to imagine that Lu Ping'an is only 21 years old.

21 years old, 6 years younger than myself. . .Zeng Li was slightly dazed.

"Good morning, Teacher Zengli, have you eaten yet?"

At this time, her exclusive makeup artist came up to say hello, which also interrupted Zeng Li's thoughts.

"Mr. Qianqian, it's early, I haven't eaten yet."

"Just right, I brought it for you."

Makeup artist Qianqian pulled her into the dressing room.

Followed by an hour or two of make-up.

There are also other actresses in the dressing room, none of whom have important roles, but the makeup is not compromised.

A group of women got together and soon became lively, chirping and chatting, and most of the people around were also Zeng Li, after all, she was the only one who had debuted for many years.

Zeng Liye shared experience with these Nortel students, and the time passed quickly.

At 7 o'clock, the makeup of all the characters was completed.

Among them, the most laborious ones are a few ape-men and the bronze statue of Zheng He.

Especially for Zheng He, the bronze dye will damage the skin after a long time.

They are all students from Nortel, and Lu Pingan took good care of their remuneration.

After the make-up was done, the filming continued.

After some station adjustments, the entire museum came alive.

Various characters from tens of thousands of years ago to hundreds of years ago are mixed in the museum hall.

At this time, everyone in the crew really realized that this film of theirs is really amazing.
At 5 o'clock in the evening, the production crew finished work, and tomorrow will still start filming in the early morning.

The next day Lu Pingan still picked up Zeng Li.

Zeng Li brought Lu Pingan hot coffee this time.

"Coffee in the morning to refresh your mind."

"Thank you!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, chatted all the way to the parking lot, and then walked away tacitly, and a new day began.

On the 12th, the filming of the plot outside the museum started.

Because Mr. Zhou and Chen Kun came as guest stars this day, their scenes were filmed earlier, so as not to delay their own work.

At the "stepfather"'s house, Chen Kun wore glasses, combed his hair into fours and sixes, and had four or five mobile phones pinned to his waist, giving him a funny mix of nouveau riche and elite.

As soon as he appeared, everyone laughed, and with the addition of a mountain dialect, everyone burst into laughter.

Chen Kun didn't feel embarrassed at all.

He likes this kind of interesting cameo.

The cameo appearance is just to add surprises to the movie, so it's not a big problem to pretend to be ugly.

There are only two scenes for Chen Kun, one is to appear at home, and the other is to meet outside the museum with the protagonist who retreated for the first time.

The meeting scene has already been filmed, and now it is the debut, and the task is completed after filming.

Soon, the scene is over.

Chen Kun removes makeup amidst applause.

Mr. Zhou also called it a day. She is still a little tender to play the role of mother, but it doesn't matter for comedies.

That night, Lu Pingan had dinner with the two of them.

"Here, it's for you."

During the dinner, both of them gave Lu Pingan gifts.

Lu Ping'an was in a daze, so Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "Tomorrow is your birthday, we don't have time to come, so we will send it in advance."

"I'll go, you all remember?" Lu Ping'an was a little surprised and moved.

"Of course, your birthday was known all over the country last year. It's hard for us to forget."

Chen Kun laughed and joked.

Last year's birthday happened to be the time when the box office of "Yuan" broke through [-] million. At that time, the publicity effect was very good when we celebrated it.

Lu Pingan accepted the gift with a smile, but didn't open it to read, but drank three glasses of wine directly.

"Others drink three cups and I will definitely applaud. You, after drinking three bowls, my eyelids don't even twitch."

Mr. Zhou also started joking.

Lu Pingan spread his hands all over his face: "I really envy those of you who don't drink well."

"Hey, that's what I said, the waiter, Shanghai Bowl, I'll fight him today!"

Chen Kun shouted, the scene that followed was very lively.

After seeing off the two of them at the end, Lu Pingan felt that after a year or two, "Painted Skin" could be squeezed out.

If he doesn't squeeze this movie, the leading role will still be Little Swallow.

So, justifiably!
Back home, Yan Danchen rushed forward.

"Xiao Ping An, miss me!"

"miss you!"

Lu Pingan picked her up and walked to the bathroom.

After 0:[-] in the morning, various birthday wishes text messages crackled on the phone.

Lu Pingan didn't have time to pay attention, and was completely immersed in Yan Danchen's gentle hometown.

Today, he is the biggest, and she is also the biggest.

He didn't reply to the text messages until the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. Among them was Li Zi's. He replied first: "Thank you, but only text messages for blessings?"

After sending it, ignore it. Lizi should be asleep, and she will get up to start work in more than two hours.

Followed by the rest of the text messages, Lu Pingan replied one by one.

These are all blessings. In his previous life, he rarely received such blessings. He was an orphan, lonely, and even his birthday was not certain, so he could remember a blessing for a long time.

This habit was also brought here, so I didn't sleep all night.

At 3 o'clock the next day, Lu Pingan kissed Yan Danchen who was still sleeping soundly goodbye and set off to pick up the pears.

Li Zi got into the car, smiled and sent him a small box: "It's for you."

"what is this."

"Go to the crew and open it again."

"Mysterious and mysterious."

Lu Pingan accepted it with a smile, his keen sense of smell has already smelled what it is.

But he didn't reveal the answer.

The two went to the crew with expectations.

A new day has begun.

At noon, Lu Pingan opened the surprise, and sure enough, it was a small cake.

He texted Lizi: "Thank you, have you been doing this for a long time?"

Pear replied: "I bought it."

Lu Pingan: "I'm so happy."

Lizi: "It's the first time I'm doing it, and I don't have enough time. Next year, I'll make a bigger one for you."

Lu Ping'an: "It's been too long, tomorrow."

Lizi didn't reply anymore, Lu Pingan looked up at Lizi who was far away from the set.

Lizi also looked over. Seeing him looking at her, she raised her fist and playfully slapped the wax figure of Genghis Khan next to her, and then looked at him again, putting on a threatening look.

Lu Pingan shook his head and laughed, and replied: "It's enough to be beaten up? Okay!"

Lizi didn't reply again, because Yan Danchen came to visit the class.

Yan Danchen came to visit the class, ostensibly as a friend of Lu Ping'an, so he remained calm throughout the whole process, and interacted with Lizi normally.

But Lu Pingan was a little frightened.

It felt like walking a tightrope.

Fortunately, he can ignore any abnormalities when he is working.

So this afternoon's shooting was especially strict
In the evening, when Lu Pingan came home, Yan Danchen made him a table of delicious food.

The two loved each other and spent a perfect birthday day. Yan Danchen was going back to the set the next day, and Lu Pingan still went to pick up Lizi early in the morning.

This time the pears were still served with a cup of hot coffee, Lu Pingan asked, "You still owe me a big cake."

Lizi smiled and sent a small white eye, and then pretended to be calm and said: "After finishing, the cake will be troublesome."

"Okay, I'm already empty for the wrap-up banquet! I'm just waiting for your cake!"

Seeing Lu Ping'an's happy appearance, Zeng Li couldn't help laughing again.

Shooting is done step by step.

After the outside world entered October, many things happened.

In the film industry, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", the third blockbuster after "Source Code" and "Heroes", was released at the end of September.

The cost of this film is 8000 million RMB, and the lineup is very luxurious, including Jiang Wen, Wang Xueqi, Little Swallow, Nakai Takaichi and others.

Before the release, there was a lot of publicity.

Unfortunately, within three days of its release, word of mouth collapsed.

By mid-October, the national box office had not exceeded 3000 million.

Let alone 4000 million in the future, even [-] million will be difficult.

In fact, this film did end up with only a little over 4000 million.

But such a result is also the box office record for domestic films this year.

At the end of December, "Mobile" had more than 12 million users, but that will be included in next year's statistics, so it cannot be counted.

More than 4000 million has become the first box office of domestic movies, while the box office performance of other Hollywood films is not good, ranking first is "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" in January this year with 1 million.

The overall box office performance is very different from last year.

So the era of box office frenzy started by the two blockbuster films seemed to be poured cold water all of a sudden.

The voice of looking down on the domestic film industry came out soon.

But more, it is the expectation of many media for the foreseeable future domestic movies.

Among them, "House of Flying Daggers" is naturally the number one. "House of Flying Daggers" will be launched in September. Now the official announcement has much more information than Lu Pingan's "Codename 9". Hua Tsai, Song Dandan, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Ziyi are It is a big name, so everyone's expectations are higher. Many people think that this is a copy of "Hero".

The second place is Lu Ping'an's "Codename 9527". At present, apart from Fan Wei, Chen Kun, and Mr. Zhou as the main creative team, the cost of this film is 4500 million. I don't know anything else. Everyone's expectations are equally high.

Some media said that when more information about the film is disclosed, the relevant expectations are expected to exceed those of "House of Flying Daggers". After all, Lu Ping'an's achievements in film awards are not as good as Lao Mouzi's, but his reputation in commercial films is quite solid.

Feng Dapao also has a strong brand in commercial movies. His upcoming "Mobile Phone" in December is listed as the third most expected value at the moment.

However, the shortcomings of Feng Dapao's films are now more obvious, that is, the north is popular, but the south is lacking. Therefore, the media are relatively conservative about the box office expectations, and no one thinks that it can exceed [-] million.

The above three directors are now also known as the first echelon of current mainland commercial directors.

He Ping, the director of "Heaven and Earth Heroes", was expected to enter the first echelon, but "Heaven and Earth Heroes" failed, so there were only three people left in the first echelon.

And this also awakened the great poet who had been silent for a long time.

On October 10th, the nominations for the Golden Rooster Awards were announced, and Lu Ping'an's "Source" had another 9 nominations, but the biggest news in the film industry today is Chen Dapoet's.

Chen Dashi was interviewed by the media and was asked about the film plan.

The great poet revealed the news confidently and domineeringly: "There is a plan, and it is expected to start filming next year. Investment? It will be bigger than you can imagine! This will be an epic!"

In a word, let the film world boil again.

The directors of the first echelon of commercial films have changed from three to four!
And the great poet was even directly ranked first by many media!

At the same time, countless movie fans are looking forward to next year's movie market.

"Mobile Phone" at the beginning of next year, Lao Mouzi's "Ten Faces", Lu Ping'an's "9527" and an unknown film by the great poet may also be released next year!

The media is excited: Next year will be a great year for movies beyond 2002!

When the current great poet is dispatched, the film world really feels like an earthquake.

Although he did not have any amazing works after "Farewell My Concubine".

But Naihe is really bloody.

This time it is a domineering official announcement.

The investment has never been bigger!

Under the filter, it is indeed reasonable to say earthquakes.

Lu Pingan also heard the news in the crew, and everyone started discussing, saying that the investment is huge, how big will it be?
The movie must be good to watch!
Farewell My Concubine is so good, how bad can commercial blockbusters be?
Barbara
Lu Pingan took a deep breath.

There is no meaning of gloating, let alone envy or contempt.

He only felt that the three bedrooms and one living room on the sole of the foot might be expanded into four bedrooms and two living rooms.

The great poet has too much breath.

Epic, dude!

I, a time traveler, dare not say that!
Shaking his head, leaving the great poet alone, Lu Pingan continued to shoot.
