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

Chapter 287: Compliment each other and attract investment

Everyone returned to the company, and Xingchen Company was still in good order at this time.

Matt Damon joining the company's project is a big deal for other companies.

But for Xingchen Company, at most it is just a major event for the "Pacific Rim" project team and the publicity and development department.

The rest of the project team is still working steadily and doing whatever they need to do.

As for autographs, photos, etc., of course I want them too, but don’t worry, the "Pacific Rim" project team has already made arrangements.

This is called leaving some benefits to the brother department.

So just wait until the time is up and then take action.

Arrived at 4pm.

The "Pacific Rim" press conference begins.

The Xingchen press conference room was packed with reporters.

With Lu Ping An and foreign actors such as Matt Damon appearing.

All the reporters immediately shouted.

Then, Lu Pingan formally introduced the actors and corresponding roles.

The reporters shouted again, and then the flashbulbs went off.

Lu Ping'an's "Pacific Rim" actually collaborated with Matt Damon!

Needless to say, this news will definitely make headlines.

Without thinking much, everyone felt the same feeling as Liu Xiaoli at noon.

Matt Damon: "I was really excited when I got the audition call. I didn't expect that LU would really invite me. I knew about the project and I liked it very much, but I didn't think I would get the chance at first. I didn’t expect that I would get the opportunity and be able to come to China to shoot, wow, I’m really excited, so now I just want to say, thank you, lu.”

He really understands.

Lu Pingan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Sure enough, this moment made the reporters in the audience excited.

What could be more satisfying than listening to foreigners bragging about their own family and country?

For a time, the press conference was extremely lively.

Lu Ping An also gave the same feedback: "I have long wanted to cooperate with Matt Damon."

Then everyone is happy.

The business briefing lasted for more than an hour.

That night, various news about "Pacific Rim" also began to bombard the Internet.

As expected, the issue of Matt Damon becoming the male protagonist became the focus.

It is early 2006 after all.

Currently, there is no domestic co-production film that can hire such an international first-line actor.

This alone can attract a huge amount of attention.

Plus an investment of one hundred million US dollars.

Directed by Lu Ping'an.

It's a co-production, but overall it's still a Hollywood A-level production with various gimmicks.

For a time, the news of "Pacific Rim" dominated the front page.

The most intuitive manifestation of this is that people who want to participate in investment have been bombarded with phone calls from Xingchen Company.

This is all expected.

The stars have their own relevant responses.

Then the investment meeting started soon.

The division of shares was carried out very quickly because various companies had asked about it earlier.

This time, the 20% share totaled 2000 million US dollars, which was not a small amount, but it was quickly divided up.

Among them, China Film has no premium, while older partners such as Huayi, Enlight, and Eagle King all charge a premium of 150%.

And they all came based on the cost of 7500 million.

There is an extra Wanda here.

Wanda entered the cinema industry last year, and this is the first formal cooperation between Xingchen and Wanda.

Wanda also knows the rules and follows the premium price.

After all, this is a Hollywood blockbuster.

A 150% premium is actually earned.

Because the next advertising investment will definitely not be bad, and it is a high probability that the cost will be recovered after the investment is completed, unless the filming overspends too much.

Lu Ping An also agreed to sell it well to others.

After all, this is Wanda, they are engaged in real estate, and now they have a large number of theaters.

In addition, Lu Ping An’s fried chicken restaurant also cooperates with them, so the two parties are actually not strangers.

In the end, the share of US$2000 million was recovered to just over US$3600 million.

The one with the highest premium was a coal boss who spent 3000 million yuan to buy 300 million shares, just to praise an actress, and the requirement was just to show her face and appear for no less than three seconds.This price is much more expensive than advertising investment.

Lu Ping'an was very curious about which actress was so rich and charming.

As a result, he quickly gave the coal boss a thumbs up.

Because people said that the actress has not yet been decided.

In other words, competition for jobs!
Tsk tsk, to be able to become extremely rich in 06 in that line of work, apart from luck, means are also indispensable.

Lu Ping'an finally told him that people must be clean and cannot be involved in drug or illegal activities, and the results must be obtained within two weeks and cannot be delayed forever.

The coal boss was very happy and said on the spot that he would organize the evening activities of the investment promotion conference.

Lu Ping'an refused because he was busy and was afraid of something happening.

Who knows what tricks he might get into at night.

Before the end of the investment fair, the shares were divided up. Lu Pingan congratulated everyone on becoming partners, and then reminded everyone that all parties will work hard to control public opinion.

Huayi and others are well aware of this matter.

Because the heroine is Liu Qianqian, this is bound to arouse a lot of speculation.

Although Liu Qianqian currently has works such as "Sword and Sword 1" and "Golden Family", as well as the upcoming "Little Dragon Girl", her popularity is among the top among the younger generation.

But even so, her status is still far from a Hollywood A-level production like "Pacific Rim".

Now that she has become the first female lead, there will definitely be some commotion.

But everyone said they would cooperate.

Why, it’s just the rules of the game.

Who will not praise his family or his own woman in the future?

Moreover, everyone benefits from current projects, and some companies are also crowded with people.

Therefore, controlling public opinion is a common interest.

In fact, Lu Ping'an could also have a fake audition.

But time constraints, and not sure whether doing so will cause some uncontrollable trouble.

So let’s just stop doing this.

Nowadays, the top domestic film companies are basically in the same trench, so there is no need to worry in the future.

Of course, preparations for the change still need to be made, and precautions are indispensable, so starting from today, the Xingchen Network Department will be on standby at all times.

The next morning, Lu Ping'an and a group of creatives held a start-up ceremony at the Star Studio.

This time more reporters came.

In addition to reporting the incident itself, everyone wants to see who the heroine is.

After finding out it was Liu Qianqian, everyone was unsurprisingly surprised.

Then my mind quickly started racing with thoughts.

Did Liu Qianqian’s godfather help?

Or is it simply Lu Ping'an himself?

So Liu Qianqian is actually Lu Ping'an's woman? !
Wow, that's a child bride! !
When fame and resources do not match, similar conjectures explode.

Many people already have millions of words in mind.

However, when the reporters present received a big red envelope and were told to report normally, otherwise everyone was alerted after the warning from Green Corpse Han.

They looked at a stack of seven or eight major producers.

Then I knew that this thunder should not be touched!
Of course, if Liu Qianqian’s performance is not good, then it’s not our fault!

The opening ceremony is over.

Lu Ping'an also officially entered shooting mode.

First of all, one thing needs to be made clear again.

It is true that "Pacific Rim" is a co-production, but it is mainly aimed at the international market.

This kind of purely enjoyable movie about mechas fighting monsters is more suitable for an American heroic narrative structure.

Just like most online novels, the protagonist kills and kills violently.

It doesn't have much connotation, but that's what commercial films have to be.

Of course, this film will also add some descriptions of "Great Mobilization" and "A Community with a Shared Future for Mankind".

It's the end of the world after all.

Most of the people in the movie are yellow, and the main characters are both yellow and black.

The last fortress is again in Xiangjiang.

Naturally, we need to show the nameless logistics members in the base and the people in the city behind them.

However, the overall script framework will not be adapted much from the original version.

The main storyline of fighting monsters cannot be changed.

Just some slight adjustments.

Therefore, the current changes to the script are in the following aspects:
