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

After submitting the proposal, Lu Ping'an continued to focus on the preparatory work of several films in the company.

The tedious work, coupled with immature technicians in various departments, made Lu Pingan feel envious of Hollywood's film infrastructure.

During the preparation of "Batman", it was really possible to get whatever you wanted. For every subdivided project, several teams could be found to bid.

As long as you are willing to spend money, we can make clear arrangements for you.

Fortunately, Lu Pingan can still calm down.

There is a gap, so there is no need to always compare with the standard there.

Of course, even if you are catching up, you cannot be too slow. You still have to speed up when you need to speed up.

So this involves the talent plan mentioned earlier.

Glancing at the phone, the time agreed with Principal Zhang was approaching. Lu Pingan took the car keys and went to Nortel.

Now is the art examination season, art students from all over the world gather here, and there is a lot of traffic outside Beidian.

There were many more cars in Beijing in 05 than in previous years, and the old A6 was very low-key among the luxury cars.

The license plate is ordinary and the brand is ordinary, so I can only move slowly with the traffic flow.

Many car owners who are self-righteous think that they can enter the school because of their expensive cars, but when they arrive at the gate, they are ruthlessly persuaded by security guards to dismiss them. Occasionally, there will be disputes, and the traffic will become even more congested.

Traffic jams can be very irritating, and Lu Pingan feels helpless when he sees this.

He doesn't drive out alone all the year round, but he catches up with this kind of node when he goes out.

But the good news is that in the territory of Nortel, he is still quite able to enjoy himself as director Lu Da.

"Guide Lu, you are here, come and follow me."

Soon some old security guards recognized his car. After confirming that the driver was Lu Pingan, three security guards opened the way to avoid a group of BMWs and Mercedes-Benz.

The situation suddenly became clear, and Lu Pingan was in a happy mood. He rolled down the window to express his gratitude to the security guard.

This also caused a lot of parents and candidates outside to exclaim:
"How could he go in? It's director Lu Ping'an!"

"Director Lu is not the examiner, is he?"

"It's so low-key to drive an A6!"

"Where is that, which one is the road guide's car."

Amid the crowd's attention, Lu Ping'an entered the school.

After entering the teacher's building, nodding with the teachers all the way, Lu Pingan went straight to Hu Qingquan's office.

Hu Qingquan is an important executor of Lu Ping An's talent plan. With him around, Lu Ping An doesn't have to worry about many things.

When he came to the office, Hu Qingquan was chatting with two people.

These two seem to be father and son, and the younger one is probably this year's candidate.

Lu Pingan expressed his understanding.

For the art test, it's too normal to have a relationship.

Hu Qingquan is now famous, so it is no surprise that he is being publicized.

But Hu Qingquan obviously didn't like this kind of thing.

Seeing Lu Pingan coming, Hu Qingquan breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly got up to end the current conversation.

Lu Ping'an wasn't going to talk to these two people anymore. He pointed at the ceiling and closed the door and left.

The two people were still wondering why this man left without coming in.

Hey, that person seems familiar.

Ah, that person looks like Director Lu.

Before they could react, Hu Qingquan had already left the door and disappeared in the corridor.

After two hours of chatting in Principal Zhang's office, the matter was basically settled.

I have talked to Hu Qingquan earlier about the matter of talents. This time Lu Ping'an came here to push things forward as the rightful owner.

After all, this matter requires money, and Ping An is the one who pays for it.

The final preliminary plan is that Lu Pingan and the school will allocate some money to set up a regular training project.

We have to continue to talk about the specifics, and the establishment of the project is not difficult, because Lu Pingan's Star Film and Nortel have cooperated in this area since "Source Code", and now it is just to expand the depth of cooperation.

With Hu Qingquan and Principal Zhang around, as long as Lu Ping An provides enough money and pilot projects, the plan can be implemented smoothly.

In terms of funds, there is no need to spend too much, the project is beneficial, there are people in the court and China, and there are policy support.

After finishing the business, Principal Zhang asked if he wanted to visit the art test site.

There are indeed several future stars in the Nortel acting class this year.

Yang Mi, Yuan Shanshan, Jiao Junyan and others.

But Yang Mi has already seen it, and he has no interest in other things, and he has no taste in the past, so forget it.

Back at the company, Wattsberg called.

Two things, one is the issue of the finalization and announcement of "Batman", and the other is that "Chain Saw 2" will be released in three weeks, and Lu Pingan, the creator of the "Chain Saw" series, needs to make an appearance.

Lu Ping'an told him to go there in a few days.

In the past few days, he still has a few things to explain clearly.

Two days later, Lu Pingan finalized the producers of "Initial D".

With an investment of 5 million yuan, Xingchen Film and Television retained [-]% of the share.

The remaining 5% will be divided among six companies including China Film Group, Xiangjiang Eagle, and Light.

The producers cover the three places on both sides of the strait and neon.

Just like Sister Hua analyzed before, Lu Pingan really wanted to use such a movie to open up a bigger market.

"Initial D" is a comic adaptation, and like "Batman", it has its own fan base.

In fact, none of Lu Ping An's previous movies really involved this type of group.

Apart from IP fans, most of these people are trendy young people, who will be the main consumers in the next few years.

So since it is a commercial film, it naturally has to be considered with commercial thinking.

5% was given out. In fact, Lu Pingan didn't cut much meat.

Because his director's salary is very high.

The salary this time is on par with his worth in Hollywood.

This parity refers to the salary he actually received in Hollywood, not the market price.

Therefore, based on the calculation of the salary of "Batman", he took 300 million US dollars, plus the box office share.

If you add his theaters.

In this wave, Lu Ping An is the one who earns the most money anyway.

Are other producers happy?

Don't be too happy about that.

Lu Ping'an's commercial films are rare resources now.

If you grab a share, you earn it!

And this time it is a modern movie, which is very suitable for advertising.

In addition, the lineup is very gimmick.

Lu Ping An + Milk Tea Week + Guan Xi + drag racing.

The two in the middle already have a whole body of endorsements.

Therefore, "Initial D" was about to be launched, and various product companies immediately took notice.

The only question is whether Lu Ping'an is willing to let go.

If he is willing to let go and make up his mind, the China Merchants Association will be able to directly realize the profit of the film next week.

However, the producers felt that Lu Pingan should not ask for any money.

As a great director, you have to pursue something.

This also makes each producer painful and happy.

The project was approved and shooting started in July.

Next is the casting of some leftover characters.

Several leading roles have already been decided, apart from Guan Xi, Jay Chou and Huang Bo, Tuo Hai's father will be played by Leung Ka Fai in the end, and Chen Dao Min has no schedule.

In addition, the role of Zhong Zhentao in the original version is still Zhong Zhentao. This actor has a firm stand, and there is nothing wrong with choosing him.

The heroine was recommended by the Neon company, and it is currently pending. The Neon side has not yet chosen a good one. Lu Pingan estimates that it may still be Suzuki Xing.

As for "Zhongli Yi" and other roles played by Shawn Yue in the original version, just let several companies recommend it. In the end, Lu Ping An will finalize according to the system score.

In this regard, the disadvantage of having no artists under Xingchen's banner is reflected, but Lu Ping'an doesn't think it's a pity, as for the production company, it's good to be pure.

The matter of "Initial D" was settled, and then Lu Pingan began to chat about the next project.

Taking advantage of the presence of Han Sanpin and various distributors, Lu Pingan showed everyone "Crazy Stone" in the afternoon.

In the end, the situation was as expected, the best of low-budget films, and everyone once again envied that Lu Pingan had another excellent film in his hands.

Then the finalization of the file was also very smooth, and it will be released on June 6 this year.

This time happened to be the opening time of the "domestic film protection period".

Lu Ping An has no embarrassment at all. Small-cost domestic masterpieces are the ones that need protection the most. It is reasonable and reasonable to take advantage of this benefit.

And Ning Hao is not a famous director like Lu Ping'an or Mr. Xu.

This year, Mr. Xu's "Seven Swords" also wants to be released during the protection month, but he can't hold back.

So when "Crazy Stone" is released, there will be almost no competitors.

This made Ning Hao breathe a sigh of relief, but he also gritted his teeth silently.

He decided that the next time the movie is released, he will try not to take advantage of this kind of benefits! (end of this chapter)
