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

"Have you heard of the palm technique that falls from the sky with one move?"

As soon as the charter woman's voice fell, the palm of the Tathagata descended from the sky.

pat.

Zhou Xingxing paused for the nth time, pointed to the huge palm on the screen and said to Lu Ping'an.

"Great lens, the 3D effect must be strong enough!"

"no problem."

Lu Pingan recorded it in his notebook.

Today is the creative team's road show in Xiangjiang.

The road show started at night, and during the day, Lu Pingan watched a movie with Zhou Xingxing to confirm the 3D style.

So far, the initial communication work is coming to an end.

A one-and-a-half-hour movie communicated for a full 6 hours.

Zhou Xingxing's attitude towards movies is a bit strict.

But Lu Pingan has no objection.

Because of this order, the 3D team will have an income of 1500 million yuan, and there are three special effects that need to be changed, totaling 150 million yuan.

After "Kung Fu" is released in China, his cinema will make a lot of money again.

After all, 3% of the domestic 90D theaters are concentrated in Lu Ping An.

And "Kung Fu" is the box office champion of Yuanshikong this year.

The box office of the original time and space was 1.6 million. I don’t know how much it will increase with 3D blessing.

Anyway, Lu Pingan must have made a lot of money with this vote!
Another hour later, the two ended their preliminary communication.

Lu Pingan gave a guarantee: "You are setting the file in mid-December, and I can guarantee that the preliminary film will be completed before November, leaving one month for fine-tuning, which is definitely enough time."

Zhou Xingxing nodded with a smile: "Then thank you for your hard work."

"Keep communicating."

The two smiled and finished their work, and then both parties agreed to see each other at the road show in the evening, and Lu Pingan went to the next agreed place.

This time he came to the Xiangjiang road show, and he received many invitations before he came.

There are investors, as well as stars and celebrities.

When Xiangjiang filmmakers treat mainland filmmakers, they are generally condescending.

But he was condescending towards Lu Pingan.

This time when Lu Pingan came to Xiangjiang, the Xiangjiang media made statistics for Lu Pingan.

The two films in the Mainland have exceeded 2 million, and they are the No. 1 commercial film directors in the Mainland.

The global box office of all films owned by the individual has exceeded HK$40 billion when converted into Hong Kong dollars.

In terms of personal box office results alone, there are only a few people in Asia who can compare with him, such as Wu Yusen.

And Lu Pingan still eats both Chinese and Western.

Stirring the situation in the mainland, it is also very popular in Hollywood.

Especially the latter, this is the record that Xiangjiang colleagues really value.

Faced with such a monster from the mainland, although the Xiangjiang industry has a feeling that it is uncomfortable to see a country bumpkin suddenly turn over and become the master.

But the world is very realistic, only a fool would still talk to him in a condescending manner.

So this time when Lu came here safely, the welcome he received was completely different from the previous few times.

However, Lu Pingan couldn't accept all of them.

Depends on how strong you are.

So this time he came to Xiangjiang, he only had dinner with three people.

Sammo Hung, Boss Yinghuang Yang and Boss Zou of Golden Harvest.

The former talked about filmmakers, while the latter two talked about capital.

Capital matters are easy to talk about.

It's nothing more than Lu Ping'an's investment in theaters, as well as 3D and project cooperation.

Regarding project cooperation, Eagle Emperor once again proposed a co-production.

It's just that Lu Pingan couldn't think of any good projects.

Gangster movies and zombie movies are okay, but they are not in the short-term plan, so let's talk about it.

Let's talk first and keep the relationship.

In terms of 3D, Road Ping An's 3D is currently famous. The bosses see that this thing can raise ticket prices and attract audiences, so they naturally want to mix it up.

The roadshow theater in the evening supports 3D, it is Golden Harvest's theater, and Lu Pingan has a share, which means it is his own.

And this is also the first 3D cinema in Hong Kong.

This vote was successful, and there is no big problem for IMAX to enter Xiangjiang in the future.

In the future, the capital of all parties will also cooperate in depth to see if it is possible to make Chinese-language films bigger and stronger.

Well, that's what it says anyway.
As for Sammo Hung, it was Kwok Wing who hooked up and the other party took the initiative to invite him.

As a big brother of Xiangjiang Films, regardless of whether there is any possibility of cooperation in the future, it is not a big problem to chat and have a meal.

When eating with Sammo Hung, Cheng Long also came, and Tang Jili came with him.

Lu Ping'an and Big Nose had met once, and this guy came to support the premiere of "Source Code".

So when we talk, in the words of Mei Gu who is here to accompany the wine, it is "cooked and cooked".

Cheng Long drank a few glasses of wine, and soon talked about the project.

His "New Police Story" will be released in October, Cheng Long toasted: "I hope the road guide will support you a lot."

Big stars still know what attitude to put in front of capital.

Is Lu Pingan the capital? After passing "Wonderful Night", many things are actually not easy to hide.

At least the fact that he has theaters in the mainland is enough for all producers to pay attention to.

Lu Pingan also attaches great importance to cooperating with producers, after all, theaters rely on movies to make money.

So Lu Ping'an also kindly gave feedback: "Brother Long said this is off the mark, even if you don't say it, I will ask you for a movie."

The crowd laughed.

Cheng Long then talked about 3D, which involved another film.

Needless to say, it is "Mythology", which will start filming in October this year.

Cheng Long's needs are the same as Zhou Xingxing's, 3D and special effects cooperation consultations.

Even the cooperation of the director is also possible.

The former, Lu Pingan, of course agreed, to make money.

The latter is fine.

He likes to watch movies, but this is not a good movie.

He doesn't have time to shoot, and he doesn't know how to shoot this kind of action movie.

Therefore, Cheng Long's suggestion may also be a scene.

Its main purpose may be to attract investment.

Is Cheng Long short of investment?

Of course not.

What he lacks is a key investment.

Such as Lu Pingan.

Lu Pingan has invested, he has theaters, technology, and can even participate in directing.

At that time, in the eyes of the public, it will be a strong alliance, which will be of great benefit to the promotion of the film.

At the same time, Lu Pingan also has a certain foundation in Hollywood.

Therefore, Lu Ping An's money is much more valuable than ordinary people's.

But Lu Pingan knew the situation.

This movie lost money in the mainland at the box office, but earned money from the global copyright.

After all, this is Cheng Long, and few of his movies lose money in terms of copyright and discs.

In terms of video quality, it's actually okay, but that's it.

Of course, there is definitely room for improvement.

But Lu Pingan didn't have the time or interest to change it.

So Lu Pingan politely refused.

The reason is also very strong. You are going to start filming in October, so I will not be able to make it in time.

So it’s better to cooperate with 3D first this time, and we can also talk about special effects. As for the director, let’s talk about it next time.

So the two sides toasted, and everyone was happy.

Cheng Long chatted for a long time before Sammo Hung was free to talk.

It can be seen that he has opinions on Cheng Long, but he seems to have gotten used to it, and the relationship between the two seems to be good.

But then he didn't say anything about the project, he just talked about movies, mainland China, Hong Kong, Hollywood and so on.

The topic is relatively big, but it is very interesting to talk about.

Lu Pingan knew the meaning of this way of chatting.

It is simply knowing.

The first time is raw and the second time is familiar, and we can have a deep chat next time.

Lu Pingan also gave positive feedback.

There is no harm in expanding your circle of friends.

By the way, he asked Sammo Hung to take care of his little brother Wu Jing, and Sammo Hung readily agreed.

So in comparison, he is more like a "big brother" than Cheng Long.

The fact is indeed the case, he was originally Aaron's elder brother.

After a brief chat, the two Xiangjiang brothers and Lu Pingan went to the road show theater together.

This is Lu Ping'an's second visit to Xiangjiang Roadshow.

With Golden Harvest, Eagle King and industry leaders supporting the show, the Xiangjiang premiere was very lively.

It's just that Lu Ping'an still doesn't have much hope for whether the film can achieve good results in Xiangjiang.

After all, there is not a Xiangjiang actor in the movie.

However, he also did his homework, such as dubbing in Cantonese, and incorporating some Cantonese stalks into the lines to make the movie more interesting.

In this way, it will have a certain impact on the dissemination of the movie itself, after all, it is not very authentic.

But the main purpose of this roadshow is not all film dissemination, but technology promotion and harvesting a wave of leeks.

There are many film practitioners and film companies here, and they are here for this.

The rest are directed at the film itself.

Then the roadshow begins.

The result was no surprise.

Everyone was shocked by the 3D effect.

As for the movie content.

Anyway, the on-site feedback is good.

But this cannot be counted, it depends on the follow-up.

Lu Pingan had already prepared for the worst.

So he is relaxed. (end of this chapter)
