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

Chapter 200 Audit Daily (Let's Guarantee)
After confirming the film plan, the team began to prepare.

The changes in "Pacific Rim 1" will not be very large, just prepare according to the gourd.

After the meeting, Lu Pingan went to China Film Group.

Earlier, Han Sanpin had an appointment with him about the publishing business.

Now Lu Pingan is not only a producer, but also a theater company.

In China, as long as you pass the project of China Film, you will say hello to Lu Pingan.

Just like what Lu Ping An experienced before.

After the film is shot, the distribution is handed over to China Film. If it wants to perform in the market, China Film will contact various theaters across the country to urge them to do a good job of distribution, to ensure the normal release of the film, and to achieve timely payment.

This kind of urging is related to the weight of the movie and the human relationship.

If you have a good relationship, you will say a few more words, and if you have a bad relationship, you will naturally suffer a bit in this regard.

Of course, the final implementation of specific matters such as film scheduling depends on the relationship between the producer, the theater chain, and the theater alone.

At present, every store manager of Lu Pingan's Planetary Cinema has received some "favors" to some extent.

This is also the rule of the game in the commercial film market.

When I came to China Film Group, after meeting Han Sanpin, Han Sanpin was very enthusiastic.

Now Lu Pingan is Jin Guagua in his eyes.

"Wonderful Night" is currently 3.31 million!

It's only September 9th!

5 days, close to 400 million per day!
There are still more than 20 days of release time, and there is almost no suspense to break through the 3.6 ​​million "Titanic" in the future.

This kind of explosive performance has brought huge stimulation to the film market!

It's no wonder Han Sanpin is unhappy.

Speaking of which, in terms of career development, Han Sanpin is the closest person to Lu Pingan.

Tian Zhuangzhuang and other Nortel teachers and seniors in the industry value the Lu Pingan movie itself.

Hu Qingquan attaches great importance to Lu Pingan's personal development.

Han Sanpin values ​​the development of the film industry.

In his view, commercial films are what the country needs most to develop.

High box office stimulates the market, and the larger the market capacity, the more flowers can flourish.

Everything else is bullshit.

No one watches movies anymore, you are still developing a fart.

So the more people like Lu Pingan, the better!
After drinking a cup of tea, the two entered the topic next.

Han Sanpin said that there are a few movies that need to be taken care of next, such as "Zhang Side", which will be released in September, an institutional film, and it really needs to be taken care of. It also has an institutional film background, and "Detective Zhang Yude: Four Loyalty and Filial Piety" will be released in December. All", a movie starring Wang Xueqi.

"When the time comes, it will depend on the situation and arrangement. You don't need to take too much care of it, and it should not be less than that of other theaters."

After Han Sanpin finished speaking, he added a sentence.

Lu Pingan understood in seconds.

After talking about the "mission film", the next point is the key point.

Han Sanpin asked: "I heard that you are going to make an art film, did someone tell you something?"

Lu Pingan laughed when he heard this: "No, I just keep practicing. Commercial blockbusters are still my main direction."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Han Sanpin heaved a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Lu Ping'an would be spoiled by others.

The old antiques have no achievements, but they are very talkative and their roots are deep. Domestic films want to open up new prospects. At present, this group of people is a hurdle.

Fortunately, Lu Ping An is doing well!
Lu Pingan took advantage of the opportunity to chat about the new project: "This is the script, take a look."

After hearing this, Han Sanpin put down his teacup, and took the script with a twinkle in his eyes.

After seeing the budget, it was a long time before I admired: "It's a big deal!"

Lu Pingan wrote a budget of 1.5 million yuan.

Because it is a co-production between China and the United States, and the Chinese side is the leader, the budget is extremely low.

But this also made Han Sanpin happy.

Can Ping An's 1.5 million be the same as others'?
I believe that all knowledgeable people in the industry will be shocked when they know this.

In fact, Lu Pingan has even bigger plans.

That is "Inception" from Nolan.

There are many places where this movie is shot live, and after all, it is more expensive than the current "Pacific Rim".

If IMAX3D is used, the effect may be much better than "Bad Pacific".

However, the box office of this film is more than double that of "Pacific Rim".

From an economic point of view, under the premise that the mainland film market is still small and the global IMAX technology is not yet popular, this film has no choice but to lag behind.

In addition, the score and influence of this film belong to the level of Wang Zha.

A masterpiece with a score of 9.4 cannot be sacrificed easily.

When IMAX technology is popularized, the domestic film market matures, and Lu Pingan's reputation in the film industry has reached a certain level, when a masterpiece is needed to consolidate or break through to a higher level.

At that time, it is time to sacrifice a masterpiece with a score of 9 or more.

After finishing the script, Han Sanpin praised it again, and then asked: "The cost is [-] million, and it is co-produced by China and the United States. Is there any problem with Laomei?"

Is there any problem? I still have the final say.

Lu Pingan smiled: "Basically no problem."

"That's good."

Han Sanpin put down the script and began counting with his fingers, "If this movie is released next year, then there will be three movies with a cost of more than [-] million next year, your Pacific Ocean, Mr. Xu's "Seven Swords", Kai Ge's "The Promise" , plus "A World Without Thieves" and "Kung Fu" at the end of this year, it will be lively!"

While being happy, he also maintained his professionalism.

In the next half an hour or so, the two exchanged views on the review of the film.

In fact, regarding auditing, it is still very "man-ruled" at present, and there are actually no specific standards for many things.

"Wonderful Night" also encountered some obstacles at the beginning.

How can the exhibits be revived?

In a word, it can kill many people.

Fortunately, "Wonderful Night" finally passed the test without any risk.

The film is a comedy, with a desire to export culture. The film does not involve specific cities, and the content of the film does not have any tendency. The resurrection of exhibits in the film does not involve violence, blood and horror.

"Pacific Rim 1" is not a big problem in Han Sanpin's opinion now.

Although the main story line of "Pacific Rim" is after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is an alien creature. The main place of the story is not in the mainland, but in Xiangjiang, and it is co-produced by China and the United States. can land safely.

But the follow-up of Lu Ping'an's plan is not a small problem.

According to Lu Ping'an's vision, "Godzilla" was replaced with "Dragon" to enrich the chronicle, but the actual shooting was to copy "Godzilla 1" and "Godzilla 2 King of the Monsters" to form the symbol of "Dragon". Output.

The two films of the original space-time Godzilla are not outstanding in Hollywood movies, and the monster universe is also far behind other universes.

But if it is changed to domestic, at least this gap can be filled.

If it is successful, it can continue to expand, such as adding the mythical beasts of Shan Hai Jing.

This also saves my own animal from being photographed by others in the future, but my own home does not.

But now Lu Pingan realizes that the obstacles are bigger than imagined, and many of them come from higher levels.

In a word, if Godzilla's IP is domestic, "Godzilla 2 King of the Monsters" is also a domestic film, but because the story timeline is after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there is something to be said.

What kind of "say" method?

Even Han Sanpin couldn't tell the truth.

All in all it's risky.

It may be a high probability that it will not be released.

The key is that the answer I get now may be that it is not allowed to shoot. After a while, or if the leadership team changes in the future, let it go, and it may be possible to shoot again.

It has nothing to do with setting it up as a Pacific Rim series or making it a stand-alone series.

The main thing is the relationship of "rule of man".

So if you want to collect some classic monster movies and replace them with domestic ones, it will be much more difficult than imagined.

"You can write the script first, and then hand it in to see the situation."

Han Sanpin gave a compromise suggestion.

Lu Pingan expressed his understanding.

In fact, if you really want to make a film, there are still many ways, such as not making it a domestic film.

It's just that it will be somewhat regrettable.

Han Sanpin suggested that if Lu Pingan really wanted to shoot this kind of subject matter, he could try shooting familiar ancient backgrounds such as Journey to the West, Fengshen, and Liaozhai.

It doesn't have to be modern.

Lu Pingan knew that this was the best way to avoid audits.

But instead of thinking about these things, it's better to finish the matter in hand first.

Anyway, the "dragon" is just Lu Ping'an's idea.

He didn't mean to shoot.

So stop the topic for now.

After the movie was settled, Lu Pingan went to IMAX to explain the matter.

The 3D of "Kung Fu" will be done by them. They have experience in the production of "Wonderful Night", and now they are more confident.

After everything was explained, Lu Pingan only had to wait two days to go to Laomei.

In the past two days, he also stopped by to get together with his friends.

Ning Hao brought Xing Aina to his house for dinner that night. During the dinner, he talked about his next plan, which would be "Crazy Stone".

The script of "Diamond" was written long before Ning Hao filmed "Incense", but he has never had the confidence to shoot it.

Now that Ning Hao has participated in so many film crews with Lu Pingan, he finally made up his mind.

This made Lu Pingan somewhat emotional.

Start shooting "Stone" now, and his "Green Grass" will be gone.

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it.

Destiny will always change, how can I manage it.

"This script can be changed again and again. If you want to shoot, I will fully support you."

Lu Pingan didn't hesitate either.

"I'm waiting for your words!"

Ning Hao didn't see anyone else at all, they were all brothers, there was nothing to tweak, so he continued, "I want 600 million."

This original space-time Ning Hao wanted the same amount at the beginning.

It's just that Hua Tsai only gave 300 million later.

Now "Stone" was shot with 600 million yuan, plus the resources in my own hands.

Lu Pingan felt that the box office of this version of "Stone" would not be worse than the original version.

Lu Pingan nodded directly: "Okay, let's talk about it if it's not enough, you can pick up any equipment you want, and when will you shoot it?"

"Next month, by the way, Huang Bo, you have no plans."

"Not yet."

"Then I'll take it."

"It's up to you, use it well, this person is not bad."

"I think so."

The investment matter was settled in a few sentences, which made Xing Aina feel that the relationship between the two was much better than she imagined.

Unfortunately, before I came, I still wanted to help Ning Hao fight for rights, so I thought about the wording for a long time.

It turned out that the clown was himself.
After dinner, Ning Hao stopped by Lu Pingan for a bottle of Moutai, and not long after he left, Baoqiang came again.

When he entered the door, he immediately picked up the broom and cleaned the house familiarly.

After finishing the work, he asked Lu Pingan: "Brother, when are you coming back?"

Lu Pingan naturally understood what Baoqiang meant.

He smiled and promised: "Two months at most, it will definitely be able to catch up with your movie premiere."

Baoqiang happily showed his big white teeth.

"A World Without Thieves" is still Baoqiang's first film in the true sense.

In "Source Code" before, he was just a secondary player, and he didn't count.

So, as Baoqiang's big brother, he will naturally be present at such important moments.

On the second day, Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei brought food. They cooked together and had a good meal.

The two of them are still the same, their development is fairly stable, just let me know if there is anything to do.

Liu Qianqian also came today. As a regular visitor who has placed several spies in the Lupingan Courtyard, she will naturally not miss this kind of gathering.

Lu Ping'an: "Take care of the fish in the tank, it's about to cool down, don't die again."

Liu Qianqian: "Maybe I don't have time, I'm going to play "The Legend of Condor Heroes" next month."

Lu Pingan was surprised with a little bit of surprise: "Well, what role did you play?"

"Little Dragon Girl, bro, haven't you read the news?"

"Busy, congratulations, do a good job, this role can't be played badly, by the way, who played Yang Guo?"

"Huang Xiaoming."

"Acquaintance, you wait."

After talking, Lu Pingan took out his phone and called Huang Jiaozhu.

Put down the phone after a few minutes, "Okay, he will take care of you when the time comes, are you satisfied?"

Liu Qianqian grinned.

After a meal, Liu Qianqian took away her outstanding spies: two short-haired cats with fat rings, and a money turtle.

Because of them, Liu Qianqian and Lu Pingan had a lot of conversations.

It's just that Lu Ping'an is going out again, and if you count on him, you can't count on them, and they will starve to death.

Fortunately, it is enough to wait for him to come back and then continue to install the spies back, so that the topic can continue.

As for the two koi in the water tank, they were handed over to Zhang Songwen. With him around, they couldn't die.

Before leaving, Liu Qianqian carefully asked Lu Pingan: "Brother, would you come to Jiuzhaigou if you have time? The scenery of Jiuzhaigou is so beautiful."

Looking at Liu Qianqian's hopeful eyes, Lu Pingan smiled and nodded: "I will consider it if I have time."

The scenery of Jiuzhaigou is really good, and Lu Pingan has never been there in two lifetimes.

Plus, he does need a little rest.

Over the past year, it has been "Batman" and the "Wonderful Night" road show, and now it is filming "Brokeback Mountain". Even he feels a lot of fatigue due to the continuous work rhythm.

So if you have time, it’s not bad to go for a walk, as a rest.

Coincidentally, Guorong's charity project also covers Bashu, so you can take a walk along the way.

Of course, the premise is still to have enough time.

If you are in a hurry, forget it.

The next day when the school started, Lu Pingan took the time to visit it, said hello to the teachers of various subjects and gave some small gifts.

Although he is quite special and doesn't need to go to class, the minimum etiquette still needs to be done properly, and small things should be done properly, so as to save trouble in the future.

The teachers probably don't want such a big director like Lu Pingan to sit in the classroom to listen to the lectures, especially those with low qualifications. When the class is in session, Lu Pingan suddenly looks up from the bottom. Their first reaction is definitely not that Lu Pingan can't listen. I understand, but reflect on whether I have made a mistake, how embarrassing.

On the morning of the 9th, Lu Pingan set off for Laomei.

On that day, the box office of "Wonderful Night" reached 3.43 million. Since September, the daily box office has still been close to 9 million, of which 300D has contributed a lot, and this result is only one step away from the domestic film history record of 3 million. It is expected to be released in a week. Can be broken.

This is a historic moment.

Lu Pingan didn't even want to keep a low profile.

So at the airport, Lu Pingan was not accidentally caught by the reporters, and then interviewed.

It's just that the first reporter who spoke seemed to be a newcomer, and asked loudly before everyone else:
"Guide Lu, what do you think of the beating incident by the crew of "Little Fish"?"

All reporters: "???"

Lu Pingan also said: "???"

Then run straight away.

At times like this, he really needs to keep a low profile.

Taking advantage of the present, it is just a matter of time to push the boat along the way.

He felt that he had to compile it for that little cutie later.

It was just seeing Lu Ping An "angry" leave, and a group of reporters caught the little cutie and beat him up.
　I'm sick, but fortunately, I have saved manuscripts, and I can postpone it for two days. Everyone must pay attention to using the air conditioner, and be careful of heat and cold!
