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

Chapter 15 Zhang Songwen: I have become a teaching material!
The copyright of "The Tuner" was negotiated, and the domestic media soon knew about it, but they didn't say how much it sold. They only mentioned that "many international film studios competed for it, and the transaction volume broke the Berlin Film Festival short film transaction record."

Such an effect actually sometimes attracts the attention of the public more than winning an award.

After all, money is what everyone likes the most.

The news was released by China Film Group, and they greeted Lu Pingan afterwards.

Lu Pingan and China Film have verbally communicated and promised about the production of the big movie "The Tuner". After returning home, Lu Pingan can discuss investment and production after taking out the script.

Lu Ping'an's directing ability is now guaranteed by the Silver Bear Award, and it will not be easy to break through the bottom line of directors for big movies in the future.

So starting now, the campaign for "Tuner" has begun.

The record-breaking copyright transaction price is the first step, and the next step is to meet the audience with the major TV stations on "The Tuner".

That's the equivalent of a longer trailer.

With the prestige of the Silver Bear Award and the quality of the short film itself, Lu Ping'an's reputation will rise in a straight line, and it will also be of great benefit to the box office of the "Tuner" movie in the future.

On February 2, Lu Pingan did some simple shopping in Berlin, and then boarded the return plane with Hu Qingquan.

He chose to depart in the afternoon, and when he arrived in the early morning, he would face the problem of jet lag. Lu Pingan deliberately forced himself to sleep on the plane.

Landing at the Capital Airport, I took a breath of the air of my hometown, as if my soul had come back, and my heart was very at ease.

Congratulatory text messages and phone calls came to my phone one after another. Because I didn’t activate international roaming before departure, when I was in Berlin, except for a few relatives who would call to ask questions, the rest didn’t bother him, so he got quiet.

It's just not the same now.

He, Lu Pingan, is already a road guide.

"Director Lu, congratulations, please come back for dinner!"

This is a text message from Yan Danchen.

Lu Pingan replied with a smile: "Yes, I eat very little, and it won't cost you much."

"You invited me!"

"Oh that's it, then what, I still have something to do, let's talk~"

After a lot of back and forth, the two finally made an appointment to watch a movie for a few days.

This put Lu Pingan in a good mood.

But no matter how good the mood is, he doesn't want to face the reporter very much. The original owner's introverted personality is very useful at this time, so after talking to Hu Qingquan about being afraid of trouble, he put on the sunglasses and scarf, blended into the crowd, and moved the golden cicada out of his shell. Sure enough, he caught some media from the corner of his eye, and Hu Qingquan was already stopped for an interview.

When he arrived at the parking lot, he found his A6 according to the text message location. Zhang Songwen, Zhou Yiwei and Ning Hao were already in the car, and the car was driven by Zhang Songwen.

"Safe, quick, take out the trophy!"

When Ning Hao saw Lu Pingan, he stretched out his hand directly.

Lu Pingan didn't play tricks with him, and just threw the trophy box over.

"Hey, take it easy, this is Silver Bear!"

Ning Hao hurriedly hugged the trophy, cherishing it even more than Lu Pingan.

But after opening it and looking at it, he felt the same emotion as Zhou Yiwei, "Why is it a card, isn't it a bear?"

"This is the short film award, and the feature film is the sculpture."

Zhang Songwen explained, and then touched the silver bear award, as if he was imagining the scene when he won the best actor in the future.

After touching it for a while, he passed the card to Zhou Yiwei, and Zhou Yiwei kissed it directly.

"Disgusting!" ×3
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Hu Qingquan got rid of the reporters and came over, and then the five of them went back to school together.

When I arrived at the school, I saw a banner hanging on the school gate from a distance.

"Congratulations to Wang Xiaoshuai, an outstanding student of our school's 85-level director department, who won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival for his "17-year-old Bicycle"."

"Congratulations to Lu Pingan, an outstanding freshman student from the 00-level director department of our school, who won the Silver Bear Award for short films at the Berlin International Film Festival."

The two huge red cloth banners are tens of meters long, which is very eye-catching.

Fortunately, there is Wang Xiaoshuai on it, otherwise Lu Ping'an would be more eye-catching.

But now he is actually more eye-catching than Wang Xiaoshuai.

Lu Ping'an's face was a little hot: "Do you have to highlight the words freshman?"

"It's more lethal to win an award in freshman year."

Hu Qingquan took it for granted.

Ning Hao who was behind shook his head and said, "Especially for sophomores like me."

Everyone laughed.

Hu Qingquan went on to explain: "Part of the reason why the school did this is because it just happens to be the art exam period..."

It turned out that the number of applicants for the art exam a few days ago exceeded previous years.

Just for China National Opera and Beijing Film Academy, they planned to recruit 30 undergraduates each from the Department of Acting. As a result, the total number of applicants was nearly [-]. The competition in other key universities for performing arts was also several times fiercer than in previous years.

The initial exam for the Film Academy has ended, and the re-examination has only been two days, and there are still one or two thousand people in the acting department. One can imagine how intense it is.

So at this time, the school posted "Freshman Wins the Silver Bear Award", which can be regarded as a manifestation of strength.

Of course, the pressure on students is naturally greater. . .

After entering the school, the car stopped at the teacher's office building. When I got out of the car, I was noticed by several teachers.

"Yo, the great director is back."

One joke after another, Lu Pingan waved helplessly: "Low key, low key, it's just a short film."

"Haha, the short film Silver Bear is also a Silver Bear, if it should be high-profile, it should be high-profile..."

He doesn't really remember who these teachers are, mainly because he hasn't been to class very much.

But now the teachers all know him.

Soon, word spread in the school that the freshman who won the Silver Bear came back.

For the first time, Che Xiao and Dong Xuan from the acting class covered their faces with their textbooks at the same time.

The expression on the back of the book is dying of regret.

If I had known earlier, I would have agreed to it at that time, wouldn't it just take off my clothes.

Well now, this is Silver Bear, and it won't be long before the whole country can see the film!
Sure enough, after a while, the teacher of the acting class came to inform, saying that the afternoon class was changed to an appreciation class.

Appreciation is the award-winning "Tuner".

At the same time, those who are in the Chinese opera and those who are on the stage have also been notified one after another.

Sooner or later, "Tuner" will be played on campus and become teaching material for appreciation classes.

And there is basically no accident that it will become one of the official pull-sheet teaching materials in the future.

Regarding this, Lu Pingan in the teacher's building was flattered: "Is this a bit exaggerated?"

Hu Qingquan said with a smile: "This is the Silver Bear Award, who can say anything bad about it? Be safe, you have to be more confident."

The director of the director department next to Deputy Secretary Dong is even more talkative: "From a practical point of view, your "Tuner" does meet this requirement better than many feature films. There are too many remarkable things, this is the reason why the Silver Bear Award was awarded to you, and it is also the reason why the film can become a teaching material, Xiaolu, it is not you who should be terrified, but the actors in the film."

As the director of the director department spoke, he looked at Zhang Songwen who was following him.

At this time, Zhang Songwen was indeed terrified.

It has become a teaching material!

I have become a textbook!
I won't be able to go out anymore. . .

Did he act well in the movie? He was really good.

But in his world view, he doesn't think he can afford this kind of courtesy. For him, this amount is more important than winning the actor.

Fortunately, the director of the acting department who knew him better said, "Don't worry, Songwen. This time, the appreciation is mainly about the film itself. Although you can also talk about your acting skills, it's not the point. If you want the same treatment, I will get you in the future." Let's fight for an actor to come back and talk about it."

"Oh, I'm relieved."

Zhang Songwen breathed a sigh of relief.

This also made the teachers present burst out laughing, pointing to Lu Pingan and Zhang Songwen and saying, these two are really similar, they are not sure of their own level, no wonder they can cooperate so well.

"Okay, okay, take out the trophy, I'm still waiting for a group photo."

After chatting for a while, Deputy Secretary Dong began to urge with a smile.

Afterwards, everyone began to happily take pictures of Lu Ping'an, and other teachers also came to take pictures. This year's report of the director department has another bright spot.

After half an hour of tossing, Lu Pingan completed the task and was about to leave when the director of the director department called him: "Come to the school early tomorrow morning, the director department recruits a meeting, you can come too."

Lu Pingan knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. Hu Qingquan had chatted with him on the way. These days, the school has recruited students for art exams, and the higher ups are going to recruit him as a new face to become a strong man.

But Lu Pingan refused: "I still have something to do, I have an appointment with China Film Group to talk about movies tomorrow morning."

"Oh, then tomorrow? Not tomorrow, but next Monday. Anyway, you have to come to recruit students."

The director of the director department looked enthusiastic, but Lu Pingan really didn't like this kind of thing.

For him, this time is better spent on more meaningful things.

For example, things in the store, the script of the big movie "Tuner", and most importantly, "Black Hole", which has been filming for a long time.

As a person with a golden finger, the most important thing is to squeeze skills.

So he simply showed his cards and said: "Can you not go, I still have a short film to shoot."

"Creative again?!"

This time, not only the director of the director department was shocked, but Hu Qingquan, Deputy Secretary Dong and the teachers present were all shocked.

"Yes, I had a plan years ago, and I even made an appointment with a special effects teacher. I want to shoot it in the next few days. If possible, I can catch up with Cannes."

This year's Cannes short film submission deadline is mid-March, and the time is still relatively tight.

The crowd was once again shocked.

Deputy Secretary Dong came to his senses first, and laughed loudly: "Okay! After finishing Berlin and going to Cannes, that's great! Young people must have this kind of vigor. If you have any requests, just ask, and the school will fully support it!"

For this kind of thing, he has 1 supporters.

And with his words, Lu Ping'an finally didn't need to be a mascot, and the director of the director department didn't dare to stop him. On the contrary, he was too happy to be in time.

But before Lu Pingan ran away, he still said: "You still have to come to the acting class and the appreciation class of the director department in the afternoon. You are a director, so you have to speak out and cooperate with the teaching. Is that okay?"

"no problem!"

Lu Pingan agreed, and then left with Hu Qingquan.

Ten minutes later, Hu Qingquan, who had read the script of "Black Hole", turned on the mission mode again, preparing to prepare a crew for Lu Pingan, but he cursed happily: "With such a student, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest in the future." . .
