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

Chapter 137 Caring, Gambling
Staying at school until noon, Lu Pingan, Guorong and the leaders ate with the students in the school cafeteria.

The fund provides every student with a Chinese food subsidy. The food is not bad. There are vegetables and meat. There is not much meat, but everyone can eat it.

Of course, this kind of food is not comparable to the ones in the city, but it is good enough, and it is much better than the ones that the students bring at home.

But it can't be better, no matter how good it is, I'm afraid there will be problems and cause a lot of trouble.

So it's good now, with meat and vegetables, clean and hygienic.

Guorong said with emotion: "If lunch is not free, many children can eat a piece of sweet potato for a day."

Lu Pingan felt the same way.

After all, it is 03. Lu Pingan remembers Zhejiang Province in his previous life. During this period, children in elementary and junior high schools can still eat rice with soy sauce.

Back then, he himself was pretty much the same, rice could handle it, but as for food, most of them could only eat pickled mustard, dried plums, or eat with classmates.

This is good for the coastal areas. In 03, the gap between the rich and the poor began to widen. There are some very poor and some very rich, so the food can be "average".
It's just that it's different here in Bashu. The poor still make up the majority these days.

After a meal, Lu Pingan and Guorong were ready to leave.

Lu Ping'an is going to Laomei, "Happy Death Day" is about to be released, and he is going to be interviewed for publicity.

Guo Rong is going back to Hong Kong to continue to take care of Mei Gu.

"Is Aunt Mei okay now?"

On the way, Lu Pingan asked.

"The situation is good."

Guorong smiled and talked about Meigu's situation.

Mei Gu started treatment very early, but she was relatively conservative at that time.

Later, when Guorong found out about the situation, he opened up with Meigu and revealed his illness to each other.

From then on, Aunt Mei was like a child who found her parents. After crying all night, she started formal treatment.

Because of this, the following farewell concert, or the drama appointment of "House of Flying Daggers", etc. were all postponed.

Now it seems that life can be saved, but it is just that they will not be able to have children in the future.

"It's good to save your life."

Guorong smiled and sighed, his tone full of relaxation.

Then he talked about his past acquaintance with Mei Gu.

In fact, Lu Pingan doesn't believe in true friendship between a man and a woman, unless one party has different orientations.

In the past, he thought that Guorong and Meigu were like this. If Guorong had a normal orientation, they would not have such a friendship.

But now it seems that this realm is really beyond what I can imagine.

Guorong finally rejoiced and said: "I was actually thinking, if I couldn't help but really end my life, what would happen to Aunt Mei."

how about it?
I will go with you.

Lu Pingan sighed inwardly, but did not speak.

"Thinking about it now, I feel it was God's will. After experiencing life and death, many things will be overlooked. Mei Gu said that she will hold a farewell concert when she recovers, and she will completely retreat behind the scenes."

"That's good, the body is the most important thing."

"Yes."

Guorong smiled and nodded, "From Aunt Mei, I also understand a truth, that is to do more meaningful things while you are healthy, and regret it when you can't do it, then you will really die with regret."

"The realm of thought is high!"

Lu Pingan smiled and held out his thumb.

Guorong smiled and continued: "Do what you want to do, love who you want to love, and be more chic, life will be meaningful, the premise is not to break the law."

"Brother has a plan?"

"I have already."

Guorong smiled and pointed to the rolling mountains outside the car window, "This is it."

After finishing speaking, he threw the topic back to Lu Pingan, "What about you, what are your plans for the future?"

"Me? Make a movie."

"It's about career, what about relationship."

"emotion?"

Lu Pingan was slightly stunned.

To be honest, he really doesn't have any plans in terms of relationship.

For women who have a relationship, if you are greedy for her body but don't want to be bothered by feelings, then treat her with an attitude of not taking the initiative and not refusing.

If you are hungry, then take the initiative.

He has been like this for several years.

So currently there is only Yan Danchen in the latter, and Zeng Li is also counted as one.

The rest of the women's relationships are very clean, except for Gao Yuanyuan, Gao Yuanyuan is still greedy for both of them, which does not match Lu Pingan's needs, so Gao Yuanyuan can only be his "chat chat" now.

But if you really want to talk about which woman you have a long-term plan for the future, for example, how about spending a few years with Yan Danchen.

This doesn't seem to have really been thought through.

It doesn't matter whether it's Yan Danchen or Zeng Li who is now preparing to attack.

If I say I like it, I definitely like it, but I don't like it to a particularly deep level.

It sounds a bit cold-blooded to say this, but it is true.

If you want to tell Guorong, the designation will be said to be vulgar, how can you do this to feelings?

But my buddy just likes vulgar, what can I do?
So he shook his head: "I don't know, let's take a step and see."

Guo Rong said with a smile: "You are almost 22, and you have reached the legal marriage age in the Mainland, so you have to consider it?"

"How can it be so fast."

Lu Pingan asked back with a smile, "Why do I feel like you are like my seven aunts and eight aunts, urging marriage?"

"You care about your brother, can't you?"

"Haha, of course you can, but it's too early."

"Then play for a few more years, but don't play carelessly. You still have to think about it. You can be 35 years old at the latest. You can't be like Meigu and me."

"Row."

Lu Pingan agreed without thinking.

Regardless of whether Guorong's suggestion really came out of concern for his "brother", or after experiencing Meigu's infertility, he then gave advice to future generations.

It's all about caring, and that's it.

Two hours later, the two parted ways at Bashu Airport.

The next night, Lu Ping An arrived in Los Angeles.

"Watts, what's going on?"

"Maybe it's not good right now."

Watts said and gave relevant documents.

Currently "Happy Death Day" is on the bright side, and it is Lu Pingan's second movie in Hollywood.

After the explosion of "Chain Saw" attracted some fans, the Lu Ping An brand has already gained some fame.

Therefore, the pre-publicity of "Happy Death Day" has a little advantage over other movies.

It's just that the schedule of November 11 doesn't look very good.

On November 11th, "The Matrix 5: Matrix Revolution" was released, which is the last part of the Matrix trilogy.

Also in May of this year, "The Matrix 5" was released, raking in $2 million at the box office in North America and $2.8 million worldwide.

Generally, the release of a movie of this box office level will have a huge impact on movies in the week or two before and after the same period.

However, the results of "The Matrix 3" are far worse than the second one.

The total box office of "Hacker 3" in North America is only 1.4 million, and the global box office is only in the early 4 million.

Regardless of the global box office, only look at the North American box office.

If the North American box office is 1.4 million, the threat to the movies released in the same period will be much smaller.

After all, the North American market is the largest market in the world, and it can accommodate a lot of box office in the same period.

So "Happy Death Day," which came out two weeks after its release, seems to be in a difficult situation, but in fact there is still plenty of room to move.

Of course, if there is a blockbuster movie ahead, there will definitely be some influence.

The market share vomited out by the blockbuster will not be reserved for "Day of Death", other films will also take it away.

Opponents in the same period include "Sweetheart Dance", starring Jessica Alba.

The cost of the cartoon "The Cat in the Hat" is said to be [-] million.

And "The Lord of the Rings 12" to be released in December.

In addition to "The Lord of the Rings 3", the announcements of the other two films are very strong.

At least it doesn't look like "Day of Death" can crush them.

However, Lu Pingan took a look and felt that the problem was still not that big. "The Lord of the Rings 3" was a little far away from him, and "The Day of Death" was about to be released at that time.

I haven't heard much about "Sweetheart Dancing" and "The Cat in the Hat", and I don't think the box office will be much higher.

If the box office is not high, then there will be room for "The Day of Death".

And his expectation for "Death Day" is not over 6000 million. The box office of the original version in North America is less than [-] million US dollars, and the global box office is more than [-] million.

But if inflation is taken into account, the North American box office of more than 5000 million is already stronger than the original version.

So at the beginning, Lu Ping An said that it was five times more than the cost, which was more than 5 million in North America.

This figure is relatively conservative, but compared to the cost, if it is really achieved, it will be another blockbuster movie.

It now appears that the Big Bang may still be achievable.

Watts said at this time: "In fact, less than 10% of Hollywood movies can make money. Our cost is low, and making money is not a big problem."

Lu Pingan smiled and asked, "Watts, what do you want to say?"

Watts said with a smile: "It's still too late to cancel the game now."

Lu Pingan also smiled: "Actually, I like the way you don't have a long memory."

Watts: "..."
