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

"Your company has grown a lot, how many people are there now?"

Star Movies and Television, Jiang Wen started to visit after arriving.

Jiang Wen has been to Xingchen several times, but each time it is bigger and bigger. It was okay at first, but now, Xingchen Film and Television is no longer the scale that a current domestic film and television company should have.

"The two floors are 1600 square meters, and now there are a total of 300 people coming. They are planning to rent the third floor."

"Hey, you're almost catching up with Beijing Film Studio."

"There are many projects."

As Lu Pingan said, he introduced various departments to Jiang Wen.

The scale of Xingchen Company is actually not that big, but there are many types of departments.

In addition to the general company, the special effects and animation department alone accounted for more than half of the place.

Among them, the animation department has always been relatively mysterious.

"Kung Fu Panda", which Bao Qingqing is in charge of, currently has an animation team of 180 people, more than 100 people more than in Bashu.

There is still too little safety on this road, and it will continue to increase in the future.

"Wouldn't it cost a lot of money?"

Jiang Wen asked with a sigh.

"It's okay, the monthly salary is less than 200 million."

"Tsk tsk, rich man!"

Jiang Wen continued to sigh with his hands behind his back.

It's just that the indecent look quickly returned to the serious: "I see that your office is full of robot drawings, why, do you want to make a robot movie?"

"Yeah, make a robot to fight monsters."

Lu Pingan said, the two returned to the office, and then Lu Pingan introduced him to the "Pacific Rim" project.

The introduction of the film itself is only one aspect, and more is to introduce to Jiang Wen the film industry plan that supports the filming.

After a brief introduction, Jiang Wen looked at Lu Pingan as if he knew him again.

It took him a long time before he sighed: "Interesting, but why do I think that you are going to compete with Hollywood!"

"There has to be something to pursue."

"Yes, I support you!"

Jiang Wen gave a thumbs up, but immediately asked, "Your money is rushing out, and the units are calculated in billions. Do you still have money to invest in my movie?"

Before Lu Pingan could speak, Jiang Wen raised his hand to remind: "Say it first, don't be shy to say it if you have difficulties, don't worry about our relationship, I can't do things that are difficult for others."

This made Lu Pingan laugh directly: "Haha, of course, I agreed to vote for you, how could I forget? Tell me, how much do you want?"

"Not to be brave?"

"Of course not brazen."

"Well, I want 1000 million."

"Two million is enough?"

"I found Taihe, and they gave me 2000 million. Adding your 1000 million is almost enough. It's [-]% of the deal."

"No problem, if it's not enough, then ask me."

Lu Pingan knew that Taihe would withdraw its capital in the future, because Jiang Wen was frightened by spending money like water.

In the end, Boss Yang of Eagle King contributed to the rescue, and because of this, Eagle King also got an investment opportunity in "Let the Bullets Fly" in the future, and made back all the losses of "The Sun Also Rises".

Now that Lu Ping'an is off, naturally he won't let Ying Huang take advantage of it.

It's just that in this way, I have to prepare some more money, but it's only tens of millions, so it's not a big problem.

"Okay, it's strong enough!"

Jiang Wen gave a thumbs up again, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, it's okay, luck is better, and I made some money beyond my ability."

Lu Pingan looked humble, Jiang Wen heard his nonsense, and then continued to talk about business.

After taking other people's money, I have to talk about the situation of the project.

"The Sun Also Rises" will start filming in Yunnan after the new year, which is why he came here a year ago. While asking Ping An for money, he also told him that it will be cancelled.

As for the project, Lu Pingan listened to it symbolically, but didn't inquire much, since he was not easy to participate anyway, and the project was losing money, so why should he inquire about it.

After talking about the project, Jiang Wen talked about his relationship again. He divorced his ex-wife in France a few days ago, and then he and Zhou Yun were going to get a certificate. Zhou Yun was pregnant and would give birth in the second half of the year.

Jiang Wen said that when the time comes, let the children also appear in the movie.

Then he sighed that his parents did not agree with this marriage.

Lu Pingan has no experience in this kind of thing, so he can only say: "Fortunately, I don't have such troubles."

Jiang Wen laughed, but stopped talking about this topic, and then talked about another thing.

"A few days ago someone asked me to make a movie, which was adapted from Eileen Chang. I was not interested in the plot when I saw it."

Lu Pingan listened, surprised.

What Jiang Wen was talking about was "Lust, Caution".

Yuan Shikong's "Lust, Caution" was indeed Jiang Wenyan who was found first.

The hero is looking for Lao Mouzi, saying that Lao Mouzi is Mr. Yi.

Even after finding Li An to direct, Chao Wei's makeup was still based on Lao Mouzi's.

But Jiang Wen refused directly after hearing the outline of the story, and complained: This is something for girls.

"That's something a bitch took. I don't even know what the heroine is thinking. Whoever likes to take pictures will take pictures!"

Now that Jiang Wen finished speaking, he also complained.

Then he said, "We all know that you are going to make achievements in literary and artistic films, and she still wants to ask you to make a film, but I rejected it for you. You'd better not touch such unscrupulous things. Of course, if you are interested, I can call right now, but don't blame me for not reminding you."

"No, I don't like this kind of bitch chirping either."

Lu Pingan immediately refused.

He is really not interested in "Lust, Caution", even if this movie will win the Golden Lion Award in the future

So let Li An do it by himself.

It's just that Jiang Wen laughed and teased after hearing this: "Then why did you think of making this movie?"

"That's different, that's love."

"You won't be oriented towards the truth, right?"

"I have a girlfriend."

"Which girl is so unlucky?"

"too much."

"Haha, it's pretty good at pretending"

After joking, Jiang Wen continued to ask, "Have you finished that film yet?"

This topic again.

Those who are close to Lu Ping'an will mention them when they see them.

It can be seen that the big guy really cares about him.

But Lu Ping'an's answer was the same: "Still thinking about the later stages."

It seems that Jiang Wen couldn't hide this from Jiang Wen, he smiled and pointed it out: "Nonsense, how can you think about a movie for so long? It must have been cut long ago, right?"

Lu Ping'an smiled and said: "I really can't hide it from you, but it's true that I didn't do it well, and the soundtrack is almost there."

This reason is very powerful, and Jiang Wen fully agrees.

Then, like Guorong, he reminded Lu Pingan not to mess up his position.

Lu Pingan had no choice but to explain again: it was already planned.

Jiang Wen asked: "Are you sure you can win the prize?"

"Not sure, but it will always be more sure than "The Hunger Platform"."

"Quite confident."

"That's not right, who made me your student."

"Farewell, you are a big money now, with your handwriting, I will never be able to catch up with you in my life."

Jiang Wen pointed his fingers around the office and joked.

Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "You just have to play these things. If you really want to play, you understand commercial movies better than me."

"I love hearing that."

The two laughed.

Then Jiang Wen chatted for a while at Lu Ping'an Company, and at dinner time, Jiang Wen didn't stay, saying that he wanted to accompany his wife, who was pregnant.

Just before leaving, he took a walk along the road to find a model of "Pacific Rim" on the desk: the "Invisible Ronin" that had just been made and needed to be improved.

He said: "Give it to my son as a toy."

Then leave in style.

Lu Pingan pouted.

She is only two months pregnant, and it will take several years before she can play with toys, so why not play with them now!
If you want to play for yourself, just say it. (end of this chapter)
