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

Chapter 214 Douban, Soldier

Time came to 2005.

On New Year's Day, a website called "Douban" was launched in the Internet field.

Douban's opening of the Internet did not cause much waves, which also seems to indicate that its future is also in a tepid state.

The operators of Douban are the moderators of the original Tianya film and television drama scoring section, as well as some original founders of Douban.

Their operating ideas are similar to those of the original time and space.

Lu Pingan didn't think about how powerful this website is.

It doesn’t matter whether it is listed or not, and it doesn’t matter how much you make. Anyway, no matter how much you lose, you won’t lose much, and you won’t make much profit.

It is enough to have such a public opinion position and an extra industry.

It's a haven for literary and artistic youth, how vulgar it is to talk about money.

On January 1th, "A World Without Thieves" was released for one month, with a box office of 8 million, making it the third place of the year.

Although the box office is not as good as "Kung Fu", it does not affect the popularity of the actors.

Some media said that 2004 should be Fan Wei and Ge Younian.

"Wonderful Night" in the middle of the year, and "A World Without Thieves" in the Lunar New Year file.

Both of these movies are the most eye-catching roles.

Some media also said that Hua Tsai should be the biggest winner.

"House of Flying Daggers" + "A World Without Thieves", Hua Tsai has completely become the most popular among the four heavenly kings in the mainland.

Of course, some media said that this year is the Year of Lu Ping An, the Year of Zhou Xingxing and so on.

At the end of the year, various media began various summaries.

Only Lu Pingan himself knew that if the entertainment industry in 04 was "XX Year", it would be more appropriate to say "Baoqiang Year".

Baoqiang, who has grown from a group performer to a superstar, is indeed very special in the history of domestic entertainment.

"A World Without Thieves" became a big hit. After Baoqiang shared his resume in front of the camera, everyone was shocked.

It is indeed rare to have a purely grassroots background.

As a result, there are a lot of group performers staying in front of the film and television bases in various places, and everyone wants to be the second "silly root".

It can be said that Baoqiang has indeed affected the entire industry to a certain extent.

The sudden popularity and various announcements came like snowflakes, which also made Baoqiang a little at a loss.

Even if he has seen many precedents, such as Deng Chao in "Source Code", Duan Long in "The Hunger Platform", Huang Bo in "Wonderful Night" and so on.

But this kind of thing really fell on him, and Baoqiang was numb immediately.

"Brother, I can't sleep."

In the middle of the night, Lu Pingan received a call from Baoqiang again.

How should I put it, this mentality is actually very good.

But it's also really annoying.

Lu Ping'an felt that after Baoqiang cooperated with Huayi to leave the announcement during this period, he should be thrown into the army and let him fend for himself!
So it's time for Soldiers Assault to be finalized.

If you want to win "Soldier Assault", at this point in early 05, you only need to find Kang Honglei.

In 2004, director Kang Honglei watched a play called "Erna Assault" in the auditorium of the Comrade-in-arms Repertory Theater of the BJ Military Region. Coincidentally, that night was also the last night when the Comrade-in-arms Repertory Theater was about to be disbanded.

After watching the play, Kang Honglei approached the screenwriter Lan Xiaolong and asked him if he had any plans to adapt it into a TV series. Unexpectedly, Lan Xiaolong said that the script had been written a long time ago and had been written for two years, but he just couldn't find a suitable one. People come to shoot.

The two hit it off and hit it off immediately, so the TV series "Soldier Assault" adapted from the drama "Erna Assault" was launched.

However, military-themed TV dramas have never been taken seriously, and "Soldier Assault" is all male dramas with no emotional lines, so it is not easy to attract investment.

So after Kang Honglei got the script until now, only Bayi Film Studio is willing to contribute, but the budget is still far short.

Lu Pingan knew that he didn't solve the funding problem until he approached Huayi Wang Zhongjun in the second half of 05.

This is because Wang Zhongjun was also a scout, so it would be difficult for him to do anything else.

Now, Lu Pingan met Kang Honglei who was short of funds and struggling to establish a project. It can be said that it was just the right time.

And it should not be too easy for Lu Pingan to make an offer to Kang Honglei.

No need to go through anyone else, Hu Qingquan has a phone call.

After a few words on the phone, the two made an appointment directly.

Two days later, Lu Pingan met Kang Honglei at the company as scheduled.

After meeting each other, we talked to each other for a long time, and then started chatting directly.

Things are also very efficient.

Kang Honglei was short of money, and Lu Pingan gave it.

Kang Honglei wanted to have directorial autonomy, so of course Lu Pingan would not interfere blindly.

Kang Honglei wanted to find actors first, especially the protagonist.

Lu Pingan asked Bao Qiang, who had been waiting for a while, to show up.

As soon as Bao Qiang appeared, he smiled, and his big white teeth directly entered Kang Honglei's heart.

Isn't this what I want Xu Sanduo!
Many people competed for the protagonist of "Soldier Assault" in the original time and space during the casting process.

It was Kang Honglei who overcame all opinions and chose Xu Sanduo and Benduo.

So now, it goes without saying Kang Honglei's reaction when he saw Baoqiang.

Looking at Kang Honglei's big yellow teeth, and Baoqiang's big white teeth, Lu Pingan felt that Kang Honglei would have to wake up with a smile tonight.

Things are finalized, and the next step is to enter the project approval stage.

Not so soon, because there is still a lot of preparation work.

For example, casting, because of the change in the timeline, the casting this time is likely to be different from the original version.

Therefore, Lu Ping'an suggested to choose from a large number of people when the time comes, so as not to miss the original cast.

He also retains the right to make decisions about casting, of course, unless there is a major change in the role, he will not use it indiscriminately.

Another example is that the actors have to enter the army training first.

It is expected to be launched in March next year, which is already very good.

Lu Ping'an means that it is good to take it slowly, even if it is restarted in 06, it is not short of money anyway, so there is no need to worry.

After Kang Honglei left happily with the contract, Baoqiang knocked on the door of Lu Ping'an's office.

"Brother, do I really want to act in this drama?"

Lu Pingan asked: "Why, don't you want to?"

In front of his eldest brother, Bao Qiang didn't have so many twists and turns, and directly said what was in his heart: "I want to make martial arts scenes, I don't want to make military scenes."

This is the same as the original time and space.

Lu Pingan looked at him and said the same thing as Xu Fan in the original time and space: "After you become Xu Sanduo, you will no longer be that 'stupid root'."

The power of these words is not very lethal to the current Baoqiang. After all, he has only been a "silly root" for more than a month, and the influence of "silly root" on him has not yet given him a headache.

But Baoqiang still chose to listen to his elder brother.

"Okay, then I'll play well."

"You have to act well. After you finish this, big brother will show you a martial arts scene in the future!"

"okay!"

Bao Qiang's white teeth showed again.

Lu Ping'an then added: "During this period of time, let's run with peace of mind. You should also walk around with Director Feng and Sister Xu Fanhua."

Although Bao Qiang's entry into "A World Without Thieves" is the reason why Youlu Pingan is recommended by the management.

But in fact, the main reason for choosing Baoqiang is because of Feng Dapao.

After all, Baoqiang in this time and space was indeed discovered first by Feng Dapao, and then by Lu Pingan again at the shooting site of "Source Code".

Now that Baoqiang has become famous with his stupid roots, he has to be a good person.

In the future, the only golden body of internal entertainment can't be stained by Lu Ping'an.

"okay!"

Baoqiang happily agreed again, smiling even more happily this time.

He was indeed worried about whether he would make his elder brother unhappy by walking around with Feng Dapao more.

Now it seems that the big brother is still the big brother, what should be thought of has already been thought of by himself!
