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

"We still have to watch the movie."

Lu Pingan told him frankly.

No matter how good the technology is, it has to make money.

In fact, this time Road Ping An uses 3D technology, if it is calculated according to the market price, the cost will be very high.

Research and development, production, renovation of theaters, etc.

These costs are intangible.

If it weren't for his golden fingers, he would have spent a lot of money.

With the technology, he is not alone in receiving orders, but will be handed over to the technical team.

This is the cost.

Although not much, it is also a cost.

So business is business.

I can earn less, but I must earn less.

Zhou Xingxing nodded: "Okay, when the road guide is free, I'll show you the master tape."

"Tomorrow I will go to the Xiangjiang Roadshow."

"The day after tomorrow."

"no problem."

After talking about 3D, Zhou Xingxing asked about special effects.

He watched the special effects of "Wonderful Night", and it was excellent.

Just looking at it this way, he is not very satisfied with the special effects of "Kung Fu".

So if the time and price are right, Zhou Xingxing is even willing to redo it. Anyway, most of the money spent is from investors.
Lu Pingan also directly confessed: "Aix Technology is also mine. If you want to redo it, Director Zhou, I can still give you a discount. The specifics will be discussed after watching the movie."

"it is good."

After talking about the matter, Lu Pingan said again: "We can also talk about movie release."

Zhou Xingxing widened his eyes slightly, and then smiled: "I should have thought of it a long time ago."

This time I came to the mainland, talking about technology with Lu Pingan is just one of the things, and the other thing is to talk about distribution.

At present, he has confirmed several distributors in the mainland. Huayi is the first choice because of the acquisition of Xiying and because of its strength.

However, he is also very interested in Planetary Cinemas. After all, they are well-decorated and support 3D. He has long suspected that this has something to do with Lu Ping An, but he just doesn't have time to talk about it for the time being.

Now that Lu Ping'an said, it will save trouble, you don't have to bother to find it yourself, just negotiate now.

"It's okay, it's okay, our planetary theater chain is not large, but it is a reliable partner."

After hearing this, Zhou Xingxing asked directly: "How long is the payment period?"

"Three months."

"Sure?"

"Of course, I've never been sloppy when it comes to money."

"Okay, we can talk."

"No problem, by the way, does Director Zhou have any plans for overseas distribution?"

"You have one from overseas, too?"

Zhou Xingxing's eyes widened.

Lu Pingan smiled slightly.

As for the overseas distribution channels, Xingchen Film and Television does not have much knowledge. Except for the channel of Golden Harvest, South Korea is one of them. The rest are mostly overseas film companies, which is not particularly reliable.

But Zenith has it in hand now.

Because of the Paramount Act, Summit couldn't get into distribution in North America, but as a well-funded Hollywood company, it has established a reliable distribution channel outside North America with a few low-budget films.

Although the scale is still not very large, it is better than nothing.

Not to mention looking at the entire mainland, even in Hong Kong and Taiwan, whoever has the channel advantage of Ping An can find a second one.

And the top distribution channel is not only theaters, but also the more difficult disc market.

So Lu Pingan said in a low-key way: "It's okay, the scale is not big, but I can still give some help. If you are interested, you can chat and compare prices. If it is possible, I certainly hope that the cooperation will be more pleasant."

If there are dates or not, it will be a shot.

For a film like "Kung Fu" that is regarded as a classic Kung Fu movie overseas, it is worth Lu Pingan's effort.

After talking about the matter, the two left after having a meal in their private kitchen.

Except for Zhou Xingxing, the rest of the film crew also chatted with him.

All pretty much the same needs.

But Lu Pingan felt that the actual transaction might not be much.

After all, the film industry is only so big now.

Of course, if someone fools the coal boss and plans to make a big deal, that's another matter
That night Lu Pingan went to Shenzhen City to meet with the creative team.

The film was released for two weeks, and the creators also continued to run road shows.

For Lu Pingan, this large-scale road show is not only for the box office, but also an inspection of the cinema and fried chicken restaurant under his name.

In terms of theaters, it has been nearly a year, and there are nearly 80 theaters that have opened and those that are about to open.

There are more fried chicken shops, and Li Chenggong said that currently, not counting franchises, there are 60 fried chicken shops that he owns land.

And that number is still skyrocketing.

As a boss, it is natural to have a look.

And judging from the results of inspections.

Lu Pingan felt that Li Chenggong had done a good job, but it was not enough.

"Prepare more raw materials."

He gave the order again.

Li Chenggong didn't understand: "Should I still add it? According to the current data linked to the movie ticket sales, there is already a little more preparation. In the future, the movie box office will slowly fall, and maybe there will be a situation that is not easy to digest."

Li Chenggong is still very capable.

But who is Lu Pingan? He is a time traveler.

"Don't worry, do as I say, and prepare at least 20% more."

After listening to Li Chenggong, he probably guessed what Lu Ping An was relying on.

But he glanced at Liu Feiren's poster, and still felt that it was too dreamy.

But he still did it, who made Lu Pingan the big boss, but he had to make more plans to wipe his ass.
After hanging up the phone, the car arrived at the hotel.

Lu Pingan put down his luggage in his room as in the past two weeks, and then sneaked into Zeng Li's room.
On the second day, the last road show in the mainland of this phase of "Wonderful Night" began.

This station is also the most gathering place for the main creators in the past two weeks, and even the old Zhao from the Northeast has come.

Because tonight, the movie's two-week box office will be announced, and it is likely to surpass "Source Code", which is a moment worth celebrating.

After entering the theater and making his debut, the fans immediately cheered.

Now that "Wonderful Night" is on fire, the main creators have also been on fire for a long time.

Huang Bo also became famous in the entertainment circle with the role of Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo's figure is also the fourth best-selling figure in the museum, the third is the cowboy, foreigners still have an advantage, and the second is Zeng Li's Hua Mulan , women's hand-made, the advantages are too great.

Of course, it is incomparable with the first one. The first one is the dinosaur. The ribs can be removed, which is the favorite of children.

Now Huang Bo calls Lu Pingan "brother" like Baoqiang, even though he is much older than Lu Pingan.

In the film, his partner, Cao Cao, one of the duo, also gained high popularity. In addition to the bonus brought by the role, his Mandarin, which already has a Beijing flavor, is also the key.

Chen Kun also gained a lot of bonuses by virtue of the role of "stepdad".

Everyone discovered that Chen Kun was able to develop this kind of drama, so many comedic characters have found him.

Uncle Ge is still Uncle Ge, his acting skills and status have little room for improvement, but his popularity has risen a lot.

Now everyone calls him "Brother Qian" when they see him, just like how many people call him "Master" after "Let the Bullets Fly" in the future.

Of course, "Fantastic Night" and "Let the Bullets Fly" are still not comparable.

Ge You was very happy with the nickname "Brother Qian".

After all, "Brother Qian" is a "brother", so he answered the slogan: young and healthy.

Mr. Zhou also has some income, after all, he is also an actor in the film.

Huang Xiaoming also ran a few roadshows. Lu Pingan said that if there is a second film, Tang Seng will have a role in it, and Huang Xiaoming is now one of the popular niches in the mainland, so just relying on one appearance, the income is not small.

Li Binbin's income is also high, but it really can't be compared with Zeng Li.

Hua Mulan has become the most famous character in Zeng Li's acting career. Her appearance has been recognized by more industry resources because of her different makeup this time, which directly envied many actresses.

Of course, no matter how great the income of these people is, it cannot be compared to Fan Wei.

The popularity of the role has greatly improved his status in the circle.

At present, "Wonderful Night" is about to be released for two weeks, and the box office will get the data tonight.

But judging from the currently known data, "Wonderful Night" has also exceeded 2 million.

The male protagonist with a box office of [-] million!

How many are there in the Mainland?
Lianjie from "Heroes".

Guo Rong of "Source Code".

Now there is Fan Wei with a peculiar style of painting.

And there is likely to be a second part of the film.

It can be said that Fan Wei has reached the top of the mainland film and television industry with just one movie.

It is even possible to go directly to the international community.

After all, Lu Ping'an's movies are not limited to domestic ones.

Of course, Lao Fan's fire will have some impact on Northeast Lao Zhao. After all, it seems to the outside world that Lao Fan is following Lao Zhao, and some things happened before, because of the uneven distribution.

Now Lao Zhao is supporting Fan Wei, which is very reminiscent, and everyone guesses how Lao Zhao is feeling now.

This also has some negative effects on the film.

Fortunately, although something happened to the two of them that brought the relationship to the bottom, Northeast Lao Zhao also understood the world and gave Lu Pingan a lot of face. He came in person during the road show and tried his best to maintain the relationship with Fan Wei.

Lu Pingan also knew how to reciprocate, and it happened that he did have plans to continue to cooperate with Lao Zhao.

So everyone is happy.

At 12 o'clock that night, Lu Pingan received a call from Han Sanpin.

"Wonderful Night" was released for two weeks, with a box office of 2.35 million!
Lu Pingan won the highest box office of domestic movies! ! ! (end of this chapter)
