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

Chapter 205 Everything (Two in One)

Then Uncle Dong talked about it.

Like the original time and space, in view of Lao Mouzi's poor performance in Athens, the chief director of 08 will openly campaign for the whole society.

The news will be announced in a few days.

Lu Ping'an knew that this incident had a very wide impact later on.

So that there are more than 100 teams participating in the first round of elections.

Even Cui Jian formed a team to fight.

Some of them are active invitations.

For example, Hollywood director Li An, Li An's plan survived to the final round.

This time Luan Pingan is also actively inviting.

Dong Shu said that in addition to his reputation as a director, the plan he gave at the 8-minute seminar in Athens was also affirmed by his superiors.

"Someone may come to talk to you in person in a few days."

It is good to have someone at the propaganda outlet, so that inside information can be known in advance.

But Lu Pingan didn't have much interest in running for office.

Again.

He doesn't think the so-called election will really be that fair and just.

The final result of the original time and space is still Lao Mouzi. Whether it is the result of the election or because of other reasons, it is not the real decision maker, and no one knows.

In addition, even if the task really falls on him.

Lu Pingan didn't think he could handle it either.

Uncle Dong also knew these two points.

But this is the Olympics after all.

And the key question is, if Lu Pingan is not mentioned above, then there is nothing wrong with Lu Ping An not taking the initiative to run for office.

But it was mentioned above, and he said that he was very optimistic, and he would take the initiative to come to him in the future.

Then things are different.

Lu Pingan expressed his attitude: "I'll go back and prepare."

"The primary election will probably be in March next year. If there is enough time, we will do it slowly."

Uncle Dong smiled and ended the topic.

Then came the family dinner.

During the meeting, Uncle Dong asked Lu Pingan about the recent movie.

Regarding movies, in fact, Uncle Dong has never talked much.

He is an administrator, not a filmmaker.

So what he said today is the same as usual, it is something on the fundamentals.

For example, we must strive for excellence, learn more about the strengths of each company, broaden our horizons, and not drift away.

A negative example was also mentioned during the period, that is Lu Tailang.

Lu Taro is now famous.

His "Kekexili" was released last month.

The film was very shocking among film critics.

It is said that he is the most artistic director among the younger generation of directors.

These words are more or less suspected of dragging the safety of the road.

But soon, Lu Tailang was accused.

The media also intervened immediately, and the public knew that "Kekexil" was suspected of plagiarizing the plot, conception, creativity, scene, scene atmosphere, and visual background of the plaintiff's documentary "Tibetan Antelope and Me——The Glacier Flows Here" , lens composition, etc., and even some dialogues in the movie "Kekexili" are exactly the same as those in the documentary created by the plaintiff.

Of course Lu Tailang did not admit it, and the matter would soon go through legal procedures.

In the end, Lu Pingan also knew.

That is, the plaintiff will defect in the future and the matter will be "satisfactorily" resolved.

But now, anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on.

So Uncle Dong made a special point.

"It's normal to encounter bottlenecks in artistic creation, but don't imitate others."

"I know Uncle Dong, don't worry."

Lu Pingan touched his nose.

I really want to say plagiarism.

He is the best director in the world.

After eating, Lu Pingan went straight back to the company.

Baoqiang was very happy when he saw Lu Pingan came back.

"Brother, you are back."

Looking at those big white teeth, Lu Pingan also smiled.

"A World Without Thieves" will be released soon, and Baoqiang, as the main creative staff, will soon start to make various announcements.

It's not that Baoqiang has never experienced this kind of publicity, but in "Source Code", he was not the protagonist, but a soy sauce.

But this time it's different, so Wu Guohua and Zhang Songwen both said that Baoqiang was visibly nervous these days.

"very nervous?"

"A little bit, I'm afraid I'll embarrass you when I'm on the show."

"Haha."

Lu Pingan was very happy.

Baoqiang is really a caring little brother.

But what should be comforted still needs to be comforted.

"Baoqiang, next you are a rookie who has just debuted. It's normal for a rookie to make a fool of himself. Everyone will understand. That's how I came here at the time. Besides, you're acting stupid. It's not good to be too smart."

"I understand!"

Baoqiang showed his big white teeth again.

As soon as the eldest brother comforted him, Baoqiang suddenly felt that the stone in his heart was let go.

"Let's go, let's take you to experience the spotlight in advance."

To appease Baoqiang's emotions, Lu Pingan began to play the style of a capitalist.

With a big wave of his hand, he began to greet the film crew to shoot Baoqiang's commercials.

As the "silly root" of the upcoming fire, how could Burger King miss this kind of endorsement?

Of course, it would definitely not work for him to replace Liu Feiren, the national spokesperson.

But it’s always okay to let him endorse individual products.

"This meat, Zhenda!"

In the shot, Baoqiang said a simple and rude slogan with a Xingtai accent to the green pillow in his hand.

In this advertisement in the future, Baoqiang will have various products such as chicken legs, chicken wings, and hamburgers, which can be replaced flexibly according to different stores and cities.

For such an advertisement, Baoqiang can earn 28 yuan, after tax, for three years.

From the perspective of capitalists, Lu Pingan is undoubtedly excellent.

From the big brother's point of view, Lu Ping'an is a bit dark.

But from Baoqiang's point of view, Lu Ping'an is his big brother!
"Don't waste your money."

"No way."

Baoqiang's big white teeth came out again.

And in his mind, he was already fantasizing about how happy he would be after his family's debts and house problems were resolved.

After filming the commercial, Lu Pingan then took care of various chores.

"Wonderful Night" is out.

The box office is close to 4 million. With this ticket, Star Film and Television can earn about 1.1 million just from the box office.

Planet Cinemas currently has 56 theaters, and it can get more than 4 million out of the 2000 million box office.

Big money!

Lu Pingan was not surprised by this.

It's only [-] million, if you expand the movie theaters and invest in a project, it will be spent soon, and it will not be used.

"Pacific Rim" currently has completed the first stage of character image drawing design, the next step is to completely finalize the draft, and then start to produce models, framing, and setting. It will take at least half a year in general, and then it will be cast, and then shooting will start.

There have also been some changes to the script.

Among them, the theme structure of the plot does not need to be changed, only some small details need to be changed, such as the original storm crimson, which is definitely not acceptable.

This time, we simply deepened the background of the story of "Vagabond" and the "brother" character of the protagonist at the beginning, so that he has a more Chinese flavor.

For the protagonist of the movie, Lu Pingan finally chose to focus on old and beautiful actors.

Films should be aimed at the international market, and the capacity of the mainland market is limited. This is the most appropriate choice at the moment.

As for whether the final script will have a dual male protagonist, or a female protagonist like the original version, this is still early anyway, and it will be polished slowly.

After the inspection at the company, when I returned to Villa No. [-], the long-lost Spicy home-cooked dishes from Shonan were ready.

"The taste of home."

Lu Pingan took a deep breath and praised.

Yan Danchen heard the sound and walked out of the kitchen. Seeing that Lu Pingan, whom he hadn't seen for five and a half months, finally came back, the joy in his eyes couldn't be stopped.

"Little Ping'an!"

After trotting for a few steps, Yan Danchen jumped into Lu Ping'an's arms like a little rabbit.

Lu Pingan caught it steadily.

No nonsense, lips meet.

It's just that the affection didn't last for a few seconds before Lu Pingan forcibly separated: "Something hit the back of my head."

"Ah, I forgot to put down the spatula."

Yan Danchen was startled.

Then the two looked at each other and continued to kiss each other.
. . . . . .

Cook, eat, bathe, bathe again.

After a sweet process, the two of them nestled on the sofa and turned on the TV as usual.

The TV set in the villa is huge. Although it is not comparable to the ones of later generations, it is already a luxury in this era. Gao Qiqiang saw the kind with shining eyes.

What was shown on TV was "The Silent Witness" in which she starred last year.

Just seeing Zeng Li inside, Lu Pingan suddenly felt a little nervous.

Fortunately, at this point in time, the episode just ended, and Lu Pingan decisively changed the channel.

Then I saw "I really want to fall in love" starring Na Youniao.

To be honest, Yehenala's acting is much better than many young actors later.

But Lu Pingan really has no interest in looking at her old face.

Changing the channel again, Di Renjie, who was steadily analyzing the case in front of the camera, appeared while walking in four directions.

"Detective Di Renjie 1" was born.

Divine drama!

But Lu Pingan didn't care to watch.

Now her main task is to listen to the interesting stories of Yan Danchen these days.

How fun is "Lotus Lantern" and how good Liu Xiaoqing's acting skills are, but this person feels a bit pretentious.

How small is Shu Chang's face in "Jingwei Filling the Sea".

Finally, let’s talk about the thing that makes her happiest, and that is the weekly shop inspection.

Ever since the No. [-] branch of Planetary Cinema was given to Yan Danchen.

The little proprietress Yan Danchen turned into a little hamster.

In fact, Yan Danchen is not someone who particularly cares about such extraneous things.

But anyone who suddenly has an additional asset under their name will turn into a little hamster.

In the past few months, she has come back to the theater from time to time to look at the turnover and check the hygiene. She is very happy.

Especially when "Wonderful Night" continued to break records at the box office, Yan Danchen was particularly happy.

Yan Danchen asked with a smile, "Do you know how it feels to count money until your hands cramp?"

Lu Pingan shook his head: "I really don't know."

"I know!"

Yan Danchen sat up happily, stretched out his hand, smiling all over his face, but with grievances, "I'm really tired, so tired, so tired!"

Lu Pingan naturally understood what it meant.

He held those two little hands and rubbed them together: "Now."

"Well, that's a lot."

"Like a little girl, how old are you?"

"18 years old!"

"shameless."

"I do not care"

After laughing for a while, the little proprietress became unhappy again.

"After October, the business of theaters has dropped a lot. I heard that many movie theaters will not be able to open."

This is the norm in theaters today.

After the hot summer season, the hot movies have been removed from the shelves one after another. There are no popular movies to take over, and the business of theaters is very cold.

For example, now, there are only 11 new movies released in the mainland in November, and only three movies can survive the one-week release period, and the national box office data does not exceed 8 million.

Therefore, almost all theaters in the country are struggling to support, waiting for the Lunar New Year stalls to come.

Lu Ping An has close to 70 theaters across the country. If he does not buy real estate and only relies on box office revenue, snack sales, and advertising revenue, he will suffer a huge loss at this time.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to worry about this now.

Yan Danchen, the proprietress of No. [-] shop, also doesn't have to worry about this.

So Lu Pingan got another "Sweet Kiss" reward.

"Our Xiaopingan is amazing!"

"of course!"

The two continued to chat, until Fatty Di on TV started to put out commercials, and then they returned to the big bed, and then there was a burst of restless groping, and the creaking sound started again.

Is this the quality of a bed worth more than 2 yuan?
Must change!
For half a month, Lu Ping'an went to the company during the day, and returned to the company at night to continue living the two-person world with Yan Danchen.

He has no plans to go to the school for the time being.

He wanted to listen to the postgraduate course, but he really wanted to take a break after so long.

So he couldn't get much energy out of the original plan to go to Bashu to see the new school and to visit several film crews.

As for those dinners, I don't even want to go there.

The reason he gave everyone was the same.

"I'm working on the post-production stage of the film, so I'm busy."

The reason is strong.

As soon as everyone heard it, they dismissed the idea of ​​disturbing.

The fact that Lu Pingan made an art film to compete for the fourth international award has already spread in the market.

I don't know exactly what was filmed, I only know that it is an ethical film.

Of course, the plot is not important, what is important for an art film is the artistry and whether it can win an award.

And at this point, the vast majority of people are actually not very optimistic.

But it won't be said on the surface.

Now that Lu Ping'an said that he would do the post-production, and pretended to be ready, naturally no one would want to disturb him.

Otherwise, it will offend people.

This also gave Lu Pingan a rare peace.

His friends were still reachable though.

For example Wu Jing.

During the period, Wu Jing called and asked if he could play a role as a consultant.

He was talking about "Slaying the Wolf".

Wu Jing has been in Xiangjiang for more than a year. Even though he has Guorong as a matchmaker, his development in Xiangjiang is not good.

On the one hand, this has something to do with Wu Jing being a mainlander.

Another main reason is because of the sluggish Hong Kong film industry.

The market is sluggish, kung fu movies are declining, and opportunities are getting less and less. For a mainland martial arts star, it may not be difficult to get a small supporting role, but it is difficult for local actors in Hong Kong to play the main role. What's more, Wu Jing, and Wu Jing obviously won't be satisfied with just being a supporting role.

At this moment of confusion, his agent and boss Huang Baigao was planning to invest in a movie called "Slaying the Wolf".

There is a character reserved for Wu Jing, that is, the villain swordsman in the film.

Wu Jing resisted this at first.

But he remembered what Lu Pingan said, so he called Lu Pingan immediately to ask for ideas.

Of course Lu Pingan wouldn't stop him.

So after patiently listening to the general roles and scenes, he directly suggested that he could act.

Wu Jing was immediately full of confidence and happily prepared for the role.

Lu Pingan said in his heart that luckily he didn't ask himself if he would invest.

Theoretically speaking, "Slaying the Wolf" has Sammo Hung, Zhen Bullet, a large number of celebrities, and the film has a good reputation, so the box office will not be bad.

But the original time and space movie only had a box office of more than 700 million in Xiangjiang.

It is not yet available in mainland China.

So it's best not to ask.

If you ask, Lu Pingan will not be able to handle it.

However, Lu Pingan felt that he was also being paranoid.

Wu Jing's mentality is well known, and there is a high probability that he will not ask such sensitive questions.

On November 11th, after Lu Pingan stayed at home for three weeks, Yan Danchen started to get busy again, and Lu Pingan couldn't stay any longer.

At this time, the two teams of the company also set out to take pictures.

One is "Kung Fu Panda", they will go to Jiuzhaigou to re-record the scenery.

One is "Pacific Rim", they will go to Xiangjiang, the main battlefield in the movie, to shoot scenes.

Lu Pingan simply went out to do errands.

Taking advantage of the time before this year, finish some chores and visits that you promised before.

The first stop is Xiangjiang.

The goal is to promote film exchanges between mainland China and Hong Kong, carry forward Chinese traditional culture, find a director from Xiangjiang, and finalize "Painted Skin".
　Today is a bit late, it does not affect the normal update today
