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

Chapter 21 I'm unhappy, really!
On March 3, the movie "The Tuner" was officially launched.

Before the start of the film, the crew accepted media interviews.

Since the short film "Tuner" won the award on February 2, the short film "Tuner" has been broadcast on many domestic TV stations.

At present, the public is very familiar with "The Tuner", but the director Lu Ping'an is a little unfamiliar, because he hardly accepts interviews, and only went to Six Princesses once in the middle.

So this time the big movie "Tuner" was launched suddenly, with Jiang Wenli and Jiang Wen as the lineup, as well as the original cast, which attracted a lot of media.

"Big movies and short films are related to a certain extent, but it is not a simple expansion of the plot. The new plot will be more brain-intensive. What do you mean by brain-burning? Oh, it is more brain-intensive, but it is not the kind that cannot be understood. This movie I will make it so that ordinary audiences can understand it at a glance, and they will feel very good, but after watching it, they will feel that the more they think about it, the more wrong it becomes, and the more they think about it, the more frightening it is, that is, the kind of movie with full stamina..."

Lu Pingan slammed a slap in the face of the microphone and the camera.

Jiang Wen and others are also close friends.

Jiang Wen: "At first I thought this was just an extension of the short film, but I didn't expect the script to be as exciting as I expected. Yes, this time it's a friendship performance. I want to see this script turned into a movie with my own eyes."

Jiang Wenli: "At first I just came to see it. I only watched short films and thought it was quite interesting. After I came here, I found that the script of the big movie is more interesting, so I had the cheek to ask for a role."

Zhang Songwen: "I can't say what the plot is, anyway, there is not one in the whole film... um..."

Before Zhang Songwen finished speaking, Zhou Yiwei covered his mouth.

This scene also made the reporters even more curious.

And after going back, what was shown in the news was naturally full of suspense.

"The short film of the Silver Bear Award is a remake of a big movie, and the script is so exciting that Jiang Wen took the initiative to participate in it."

"Lu Ping'an's talent as a screenwriter impressed all the actors."

"Lu Ping'an: I want the audience who have watched the movie to go back to sleep."

"Simple, thoughtful, and brain-burning, the definition of the new film by Silver Bear director Lu Pingan."

"..."

With the efforts of China Film Group, the news that the big movie "Tuner" was launched became known all over the country overnight.

At the same time, the sixth princess also played the short film again in due course.

It also let more people know the story behind the movie.

Silver Bear Award, 18-year-old genius director, very interesting short film. . .

Lu Ping'an's reputation has risen again.

But such publicity can't last long, after all, it's just a boot.

As filming began, the market was quickly overwhelmed by other news.

But Lu Pingan no longer paid any attention to it.

It is enough that the first wave of publicity has served its purpose.

The next task is to make a big movie.

. . . . . . .

If you want to successfully restore the big movie "Tuner", it is actually not easy to rely on Lu Ping'an alone.

But now with Jiang Wen, many things are different.

During the filming process, Lu Ping'an discovered that Goldfinger is actually very flexible in scoring scenes.

For example, in the scene "the protagonist enters the star's mansion and sees the murder scene".

If Lu Pingan is allowed to shoot, then he will just copy the original shot by shot like a fool, and if it is less than 90%, he will start again.

But if Jiang Wenlai is asked, the shots, lines, acting movements, etc. will be different. Maybe the filming will be done from the door at the beginning, and the expression will be more weird.

And Goldfinger will not lower the score because of the camera angle and performance method. Sometimes it will give a high score, even exceeding 110% a few times.

Lu Pingan now knows that as long as the content of the story remains the same, the overall essence and quality can be guaranteed to be no less than 90%. In fact, it can be shot in any way.

But Lu Pingan couldn't play like this because he had no money in his stomach.

Jiang Wen can, that's because he is Jiang Wen.

Of course, it would definitely not work to let Jiang Wen do it all by himself.

Because of the golden finger trigger reward requirements, in addition to 90% restoration and the completion of the production within one year, there is another most important indicator, that is, Lu Pingan must be the director, and the standard is that at least half of the pages should be directed by him himself.

So during filming, Lu Pingan and Jiang Wen reached a very interesting way of cooperation.

Discuss before the shooting starts, Lu Pingan gives his own suggestion for shooting, Jiang Wen also gives his own, don't worry about anyone, just say it.

Then start to compare to see who is better, if they are similar, then Lu Pingan will come, if there is a dispute, then discuss it, whoever wins in the end, then who will shoot.

Lu Ping'an likes this kind of straight-forward, and Jiang Wen happens to be too. In his words: It's fun!
Because he is such a person, his teacher Xie Fei told him that if he has an opinion, he should raise it, and don't worry about it.

Of course, it seems that Lu Pingan will suffer a lot. After all, Lu Pingan is just a student, how can he compare to Jiang Wen?Even if the strength is good, he doesn't have Jiang Wen to say, how can he fight for land?
But in fact, the ideas given by Lu Pingan are highly unified and stand on the shoulders of giants, which is the original film.

And Jiang Wen is more of a flash of inspiration, as well as suggestions on lines and performances.

So in the end, Lu Ping'an was the director, and Jiang Wen only took the microphone in certain shots.

It looks chaotic, but it is actually highly harmonious.

Jiang Wen is very optimistic about Lu Pingan, and thinks that this kid may lack some theoretical knowledge, but his natural sense of camera smell is really strong, so he also knows that Lu Pingan should be allowed to develop his own ideas and not break the whole film. Tone, don't destroy his intuition, unless there is a real mistake, he will go up and correct it.

Coupled with the fact that the script was complete, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.

Unlike the later "Looking for a Gun", he felt that there was a problem with the script from the very beginning, so after filming, he couldn't figure out who owned the film.

And Lu Pingan also felt that Jiang Wen's image in his impression had been subverted.

He had already prepared the script, and whenever there was a situation, he would come to surround Wei and save Zhao. It turned out that Jiang Wenyuan was better than he imagined, and he was really a good teacher.

Therefore, it is natural to make good use of Jiang Wen's advantages during the shooting to make up for and optimize the problems caused by Sinicization and the ups and downs of the actors during the shooting process.

You can do it, I really let you do it, if you know a lot, then you can do more, but I can do it, so don't compete with me.

The two reached a consensus, and actually abide by this consensus.

So for a while, the cooperation between the two amazed the old actors in the crew.

Jiang Wenli laughed and said, "These two are one big and one small, those who don't know think they are father and son."

Fu Biao also nodded with a smile: "It's really rare to be able to cooperate with Jiang Wen like this."

Fu Biao had participated in some of Jiang Wen's projects. In his opinion, as long as Jiang Wen participated in the director's work, quarrels would inevitably occur.

But now this crew has never happened, let alone the script being changed.

The most is to change the lines, but it will not affect the whole story structure.

Because of this, the old actors looked at Lu Pingan differently.

Wu Yanshu concluded with a smile: "This child will be great in the future."

Everyone nodded in unison.

In this way, the crew of "Tuner" maintained a harmonious atmosphere amidst high efficiency. When reporters came to visit the crew, they received them kindly. Not long after the machine was turned on, the visiting reporter was beaten, and the honeycomb was stabbed all of a sudden, and various media came to criticize it. With that kind of attitude, Lu Pingan can't stand it now.

. . . . . .

During the filming process, many major events happened outside.

The most important of these is the Oscars on March 3.

On the same day, Li An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

When this news spread back to the country, the whole country must be too excited, but the entire entertainment and film industry is bound to be boiling.

The first Chinese-language film to win an Oscar!

The first Chinese director to win an Oscar!
Li An's fame instantly reached the top in the country.

As a result, in addition to many fans watching "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and then replacing the previous unfriendly comments with "666".

A man in the northwest was moved by his partner: "Old Mouzi, let's do it!"

Lao Mouzi nodded: "Then do it!"

Thus, China's first commercial blockbuster project began.

It seems that because of the Oscar, Ning Hao said to Lu Pingan before participating in the BJ Film Festival: "I have a hunch that I might win an award."

Sure enough, on April 4th, Ning Hao's "Thursday Wednesday" won the best director.

Ning Hao has completed his debut in the domestic film circle so far.

On April 4th, singer Tian Zhen publicly accused the organizer of the lack of fairness in the award at the awards ceremony of the "China Pop Songs Chart" in Nanjing and refused to accept the award.

When the microphone fell, the internal entertainment shook again.

This made the news that "The Tuner" was finished the next day directly failed to achieve the expected publicity effect.

. . . . . .

4 month 30 number.

The "Tuner" movie took one and a half months to complete, two weeks faster than expected.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the big movie "The Tuner". Since the original film is an Indian movie, some irresistible factors have been eliminated in this settlement, and the overall completion rate is 101%]

[The completion rate exceeds 100%, and the reward has been upgraded to a super reward]

[Super Reward of "The Tuner" Movie: A copy of the source code of the one-stop special effects generation software "X" from 2050]

[Congratulations to the host for finishing the first feature-length movie, the feature-length movie simulator function has been activated. 】

Lu Pingan was dazzled by a series of prompts.

He collected himself and looked at them one by one.

The first is this super reward.

"A copy of the source code of the one-stop special effects generation software "X" from 2050"

This surprised Lu Pingan.

These days he has learned about special effects.

In short, in one sentence, the country is too backward at present, all software is foreign, and it is expensive, there are few talents, and the level is not high.

Now it seemed that Goldfinger had solved a big problem for him.

But then came the problem.

Such a thing, with the current hardware conditions, can it run? !

After he is ready, he will study it carefully.

Maybe the software of 2050 is beyond common sense.

Continuing to think, Lu Ping'an looked at the 101% completion, and was grateful to Jiang Wen in his heart.

During the last "Black Hole", Jiang Wen helped him unlock the super reward.

This time it is also thanks to him.

But after the joy, there were some frustrations.

This shooting has really worked hard. There are several scenes that exceed 110%, and the highest even exceeds 120%. This is the result of Jiang Wen's experience and talent.

The original movie was made in India, but the translation was a bit unacceptable. Lu Pingan changed it for a long time, and it can be regarded as localized, but his level is naturally not comparable to that of Jiang Wen. In the same sentence, Jiang Wen's changes are naturally the same as his changes. There will be a big difference, so the results are very good when shooting.

It's just that even so, in the end, he almost failed to surpass it.

He felt that Goldfinger's transcendence mechanism was really difficult.

Without the support of great gods like Jiang Wen, Lu Pingan thinks that he does not have the ability to surpass every time at present, so super rewards may not be common in the future.

Of course, there must be a solution, which is to find more screenwriters, optimize the script well, and then ask more people like Jiang Wen for advice.

It's very troublesome, but everyone in the market is doing the same, so Lu Pingan doesn't find it troublesome anymore.

But now cheating seems to have unlocked an emulator function.

He accepted it directly, and clicked to open it.

Suddenly a piece of information came into my mind.

[Simulator function: pre-shooting of long-form film and television dramas, the host can be understood as a small world where the flow of time is not affected by reality, it can be mixed with other rewards in the system, you can set the expected actors, use it to practice trial and error, and simulate scoring, But box office and ratings cannot be simulated. 】

[Usage restrictions: only one work can be pre-shot at a time. After the pre-shooting is completed, the work must be completed and started within one month, otherwise the work reward will be cancelled. 】

Lu Pingan understood, and he quickly thought of the usefulness of this thing.

In his opinion, many movies don’t need to use this function at all. They only encounter foreign works, such as the current big movie "Tuner", because it involves different cultures, the actors are also very different, and it needs to be Sinicized , so many adjustments are required.

Now with this function, it will be much easier for him to remake works in the future.

As for having to turn it on within a month, that's actually not a problem at all.

So this wave is not bad, with a super reward, a training ground and an insurance, Lu Pingan is very satisfied.

. . . . . . .

After the finale scene was completed, Han Sanpin, who came to visit the class, walked up to him and praised: "It's safe, I didn't expect you to be a quick shooter."

Lu Pingan repeatedly denied it, saying that it was all thanks to Jiang Wen for helping him.

He didn't dare to accept this title, especially when Yan Danchen was by his side.

So he found an empty space where no one was around, and he directly explained to Yan Danchen: "I'm not happy, really, don't listen to his nonsense."

Not surprisingly, Yan Danchen rolled her eyes at him, and left shyly.

After finishing the finishing work, everyone went to the wrap-up banquet.

This time, the funds were used more efficiently than expected because of the early completion. There are more than 50 yuan left, which is reserved for special effects, but it is more than enough to deal with a luxurious finale banquet.

So Lu Pingan booked a nice hotel in the capital, and the China Film Group didn't ask any questions. The producer they sent left halfway through filming, and they understood what they meant.

The wrap-up banquet is very luxurious, and the reporters present don't distinguish between you and me, and they sit down as one of their own, eating and drinking is fine.

The next day, the online and offline media published the manuscript.

"The movie "The Tuner" was successfully completed, and director Lu Ping'an thanked the crew members."

"Silver Bear director Lu Ping'an, the new film "The Tuner" will meet the audience soon."

"..."

The news that "The Tuner" was completed quickly spread.

It's a pity that this time period is full of enthusiasm for "throwing the microphone". For a while, "The Tuner" was completely submerged after a little splash.

But fortunately, the enthusiasm that really belongs to Lu Pingan has just begun.

On May 5, the 9th Cannes Film Festival opened. . .

　Sorry everyone, the editor said that the new issue should not be updated too quickly. Starting today, it will be updated twice a day, with a minimum word count of 6000.
