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

Chapter 27 Finalizing the file, the final short film project
That night, the crew of "Black Hole" ushered in a celebration banquet, and Chen Kun really came, and everyone drank together until the early morning.

During the period, Lu Pingan sent out 500 red envelopes to all the people involved in the project, and the total sent out was less than 400. Compared with the income of [-] million, it was just a drizzle.

At the end of the celebration banquet, Lu Pingan was still served by a series of measures such as the hotel, so that a bunch of drunk guys could sleep peacefully.

After tidying up, Chen Kun came up to him and asked, "How are you and Yan Danchen doing?"

Lu Pingan blinked his head sideways, and saw Chen Kun with a gossip face.

"Speaking of which, I have a tight mouth."

"...Okay."

"Which step have we reached?"

"Hello gossip."

"Yan Danchen is my classmate, I should care about human nature."

"Okay, just watch the movie."

"Then you have to step up, I told you, many people have a crush on her, you have to step up your offensive, you know?"

As Chen Kun said, he hooked Lu Ping'an's shoulders to share some tips, but only now did he realize, "You seem to have grown a lot taller."

Lu Pingan smiled and said, "Yes, it's 183 now."

"Not bad." Chen Kun nodded again and again, "She likes tall people."

"how do you know?"

"Our four-year classmate, of course you know."

Chen Kun took it for granted, but now that he was drinking, he didn't know that his eyes had started to wander.

Lu Pingan took the opportunity to ask, "Why do you help me?"

Chen Kun directly gave Lu Pingan a thumbs up and replied: "Because you are a director and will become a great director in the future, I must hug your thigh. How about it? Will you give me a chance?"

I don't know if this is drunk or the truth.

It doesn't matter to Lu Pingan, it's easy to bargain between friends, so he also gave a thumbs up: "You are a good actor, of course you have to cooperate if you have the opportunity."

"Just enough!"

Chen Kun gave a big compliment, and then started to vomit.

After Chen Kun settled down, Lu Pingan returned to his room to take a shower.

The cold water washed away the last bit of alcohol on his body, and made him completely sober.

He was thinking that he and Chen Kun had only met once, but now they started to call each other brothers. As Huang Bo said, they became famous and surrounded by good people.

Of course Chen Kun is good, and Lu Pingan has no problem with him.

Lu Pingan only felt that he had to stay awake in the future, and everything had to follow his own pace, otherwise he would get lost too easily, the kind of lost in all aspects. . .

. . . . . . .

In the next few days, Lu Pingan was still busy.

In the morning, I went to a special effects company to get HP’s commercials done and then sent them to Beijing Film Studio for copying. After finishing the work, I went to the post-production. In the evening, I went to Burger King and played basketball with Zhou Yiwei. Thanks to my good health, I didn’t feel tired at all during the day.

Xingchen Film and Television has also begun to recruit people, a front desk, a finance, and let them leave the standard salary first. Xiang Guoqiang introduced by Uncle Liao of the bank is an affiliation, and he will handle legal issues.

Ning Hao is still going on, Lu Pingan doesn't care about him.

In the remaining time, we will deal with various interviews, and strive to at least not be late, especially for Six Princesses and CCTV.

Interviews in this day and age don't actually have much pressure.

Especially for CCTV, they basically don't ask any special questions.

Regarding Lu Ping'an's family affairs, he would not ask unless it was a few specific programs, and Lu Pingan was not eligible to appear on those programs for the time being.

Now, although Lu Ping'an has won the short film Palme d'Or and seems to be famous, in reality, professionals know that his fame is not as high as imagined, and CCTV only labels him as a "student with great potential". Not as a real director.

Lu Ping'an understands that short films are short films after all, not mainstream, and only when he has made achievements in feature films can he truly enter the mainstream.

A week passed quickly, and during the week, Yan Danchen had been guarding the crew, and finally said that the filming would officially start in two weeks, and the title of the film was known, it was "The Love History of the Tang Dynasty".

From her, Lu Ping'an also learned a lot about current TV dramas.

The biggest feature is that the rhythm is slow, but the production is not lacking in excellence.

It is said that the entire "Love History of the Tang Dynasty" will take more than five months to shoot, and the supporting role of Yan Danchen will have a two-month schedule, but it is also possible to leave early.

Yan Danchen coquettishly said that these two months happened to be the hottest time, and the sun was so hot that Lu Pingan probably wouldn't recognize her when she came back.

This is to visit the class when Lu Pingan is empty. Of course Lu Pingan agreed, but we have to wait until the big movie is released.

Another person who wanted Lu Pingan to visit the set was Jiang Wen. He was preparing to join the group of "Looking for a Gun" after returning from Cannes. He said that the filming would start in about a month, so that Lu Pingan could come to Guiyang to have fun if he was not busy.

Hey, what's so interesting about Guiyang at this time, it was troublesome in the past, and Lu Chuan didn't have much interest in him.

But Lu Pingan still agreed, who made himself his student.

The short film "Black Hole" has also been playing this week. Zhang Songwen has received invitations from many agents and companies again, including Sister Hua, but Zhang Songwen said that he has to wait until he finishes his junior year.

By June 6st, the post-production of the "Tuner" movie has been completely completed.

[Congratulations for completing the post-production of "Tuner", with a total completion rate of 102%. Since the super rewards for this work have been issued, there will be no change]

"Why broadcast it again? Oh, it's not right, didn't you say 101% last time, why is it 102% now?"

[In feature-length film and television works, post-production has a greater impact on the completion of the work, so it is included in the statistics]

"That is to say, for the filming of long-form film and television dramas, the rewards for the finalization are only given in advance, but they are not final rewards. They have to be checked and accepted for the last time, and then we can see if it is an upgrade reward according to the situation, right?"

【Yes】

"understood."

Goldfinger is anti-card bug.

Fortunately, Lu Pingan is reliable.

But in this way, he has more confidence in getting super rewards in the future.

The later stage can also affect the final score, and now he has "X" special effects, so many film and television works can increase the score, right?
Lu Pingan felt that next time he could try to work on the special effects.

After the production of "Tuner" was completed, Han Sanpin came again after hearing the news, and gave a high evaluation after watching the finished film, and then the topic came to the issue of finalizing the file.

In fact, if "The Tuner" had been produced a month earlier, it could have participated in the non-competition screening in Venice.

At that time, it will be used to sell films through the platform of the Venice Film Festival.

But now, unless Lu Pingan wants to delay until next year's Berlin Film Festival, the only way is to release it normally.

After discussing with Hu Qingquan, Lu Ping'an and Hu Qingquan felt that it was okay, because there were still filmmakers who were interested in big movies, and he had already released the news in Cannes, so there was not much shortage of film festival platforms.

So the next question is when will it be released.

"Mr. Han, are there any blockbuster movies during the summer vacation?"

Lu Pingan asked directly, and Han Sanpin didn't hide anything, and started helping the staff directly.

"There are two blockbuster movies in July, Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Soccer" is scheduled for the 7th, Hollywood's "Army at the City" is scheduled for the 12st, and "Pearl Harbor" is scheduled for August 21th. Don't touch it."

Lu Ping'an agreed, "Shaolin Soccer" aside, "Pearl Harbor" won more than 1 million box office this year, which is a cliff-like crush.

So if you can't touch it, don't touch it.

But when it came to "Shaolin Soccer", Lu Pingan couldn't help gossiping: ""Shaolin Soccer" will be released on the 12th of next month, which is very close. Why didn't I see the promotion?"

Han Sanpin looked at Lu Ping'an's gossip-like face and smiled and said: "You've heard it too. It's hard to say about this film at the moment, and there may be variables, but we can't consider these when making plans. We have to think bigger. , don’t inquire about this matter.”

"Understood." Lu Pingan didn't continue to gossip on this issue, and then asked, "Is it too late if it's released before July?"

"It's not too late. There are not many films in Beijing Film Studio. It's very empty and copies are coming soon. In fact, I also suggest releasing it at the end of June. You are in the limelight right now. It's a good time."

Han Sanpin continued to suggest,
"Then the end of June will be fine. Harvest while the Palme d'Or is still warm."

Lu Pingan made a decision.

Han Sanpin then flipped through the calendar, and made a decision: "I think it's June 6, the time is too late, and there is a good movie on July 22, Feng Gong's "Who Says I Don't Care", the quality of the movie is also good, We also voted, you two had better be staggered, don't hit your own person."

"Okay, that's all right."

The matter was quickly settled, and the big movie "Tuner" will be released on June 6.

Lu Pingan doesn't have to worry about the issue of publicity.

China Film will be responsible for the copy, so don’t worry about the promotion. The director’s new work just won the Palme d’Or, and it’s an adaptation of the Silver Bear Award. This weight is enough even in an era when there will be several times more commercial movies a few years later. .

After everything was settled, Lu Pingan and Han Sanpin drank tea for a while.

During the chat, he knew that "Hero" had already been approved as a project, and it was planned to launch on July 7.

"The lineup of this film is extremely luxurious, and you will know how awesome it is after the announcement."

Han Sanpin made a fool of himself, didn't mention the title of the film, only said it was a blockbuster.

This made Hu Qingquan very curious, but even if he didn't say anything, Lu Pingan also cooperated with him with a look of yearning, which made Han Sanpin very proud: "After the machine is turned on, I will have a chance to take you to the crew to see it."

"That's great, thank you Mr. Han."

Lu Pingan perfectly plays the role of a humble and studious student.

The matter was settled, and then Lu Pingan talked about Summit Entertainment watching the movie.

Han Sanpin already knew it. It is not clear how much box office the big movie "Tuner" can make, but they are actually very experienced in selling overseas copyrights, so he raised his hands in favor.

After chatting, Lu Pingan left China Film Group and returned home.

The phone call notified everyone in the crew about the finalization of the file, and then began to think about the next project.

For him, short films are still the first choice.

The production cycle is short, the cost is low, the harvest is large, and the efficiency is high.

It's just a question of what to shoot.

For one thing, he didn't remember many short films.

Secondly, if the next short film does not have the ability to compete for awards, it will have some impact.

So he thought about it, emptied his memory, and wrote countless plot outlines. It was not until the afternoon that he confirmed three short films that seemed to have won awards through Golden Finger.

Only problem is, all three are animated shorts.

This needs to be done by a professional.

Fortunately, time is not urgent. This year's Venice will not be able to catch up, but there is still half a year before the deadline for reporting in Berlin next year.

His plan is that three short films will hit Berlin, Oscar and Venice next year respectively.

He is indeed interested in the three major short film grand slams in Europe, or the four major short film grand slams in the world.

Of course, it doesn’t matter even if you can’t get the highest award, anyway, the cost is only so little, it’s the best if you can win the award, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t get it, there are only so many short films in my mind, and I won’t make any more short films when I run out.

The matter was settled, and it happened that Uncle Liao from the bank called: The copyright funds have arrived!
Lu Pingan immediately took the car keys and went out. . .

　It's too boring, forget it, the last chapter has been changed.
