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

Chapter 30 Exchange Meeting, Great Poets, End of Semester
On June 6th, there is still one week before the final exam.

Lu Pingan returned to Beijing after finishing his trip to the Shanghai Film Festival, and then came to the school with the Silver Bear and the Palme d'Or trophy. He first met Hu Qingquan, but was caught by several teachers in the office.

This semester, he won the Palme d'Or. Some subjects are not required to take the test. It is considered a benefit, but there are gains and losses. The requirements for other subjects become very high. The teacher who caught him just let go, saying that you are The appearance is to take the lead, so you have the nerve to score another [-] or [-] points in the exam?It must be sixty or seventy, right?

Lu Pingan hid his face and started working hard after preparing for the exchange meeting.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the exchange meeting of the directing departments of colleges and universities began. The people who came were mainly students from the directing departments of colleges such as China National Opera, China Film and Shanghai Opera, as well as graduated young directors.

This exchange meeting was held by Beijing Film Academy, and the school invited Poet Chen to sit in. He is also a graduate of Beijing Film Academy, and he likes to perform.

"I'm very happy to see that there are so many young talents in our country, and some of them have even achieved very good results. This reminds me of when I was young, when we were high-spirited and shot whatever we thought of..."

So he was the one who talked almost throughout the exchange meeting.

Everyone also likes to ask him questions, after all, he is a great director, and his current reputation is even higher than that of Lao Mouzi.

This made Lu Ping'an very happy. After all, today's theme is to discuss short films, so in theory he is the protagonist, but the protagonist is too hot, and Lu Ping'an doesn't like to do it. Fortunately, the great poet Chen is here, and now he is relaxed, so Great poet, you can say as much as you can, don't stop!

Listen to the "teaching" and applaud the frivolous youth of the great poet Chen like everyone else.

Lu Pingan put at least half of his attention on the two familiar faces who came over this time.

Tang Wei from the director department of Chinese opera, Bao Li from the show, who is the wife of Guo Jingfei in the future, and Guo Fan from the public, seem to be brought by friends.

Tang Wei looked a little earthy at this time, far from the temperament he had later, but he could already tell that this person had a good foundation.

Guo Fan is just a minion now, and there are more than ten years before he shoots "The Wandering Earth". Lu Pingan is curious about how he will develop in the future after "The Wandering Earth" is won by him.

Bao Li was not very familiar with her, and Lu Pingan only remembered who this was when she heard her name.

While thinking about it, Tang Wei spoke, and she looked at Lu Ping'an: "Student Lu, may I ask if you can win two awards in half a year, do you have any skills?"

As soon as this question came up, the audience was very interested.

Lu Pingan won the Silver Bear Palme d'Or, which is already a record in the domestic film industry. Although it is a short film, it is still a great achievement. Now many people talk about the name of a famous domestic director, and the number of times Lu Pingan has been mentioned recently More than many famous directors.

This is fame, and the aspect of profit is even more desirable.

Especially the students, as it was said in the news, the profit of the two short films was more than ten times, who would not want to hear about making money.

Of course, some people were a little unhappy, such as Poet Chen.

I made a good point, how do you mention him when you ask a question?

It's not that Poet Chen can't get used to Lu Ping'an, but if Lu Ping'an speaks loudly, he will naturally give some pointers.

It's just that Lu Ping'an is very modest, he just said: "I think on the premise of ensuring the quality of the work, luck plays a large part in winning or not winning an award. The judging mechanism in Cannes Berlin determines that personal emotions will have a great impact, unless everyone Unanimously approved excellent films, such as "Farewell My Concubine", for the first time, the jury unanimously voted for two awards at the same time. I didn’t expect Black Hole to win the Palme d’Or, because the competitors at the time were really good, so I think it’s right for everyone not to focus on the awards, but to do a good job of the work itself first.”

Clap la la la.

Everyone applauds.

"Well said!"

Chen Dapoet also applauded, "You should read more of your own works, the award is not the purpose, everyone knows it."

Everyone applauded again.

The great poet is happy.

I think Lu Ping'an is a good guy.

Lu Pingan continued to be his shy, humble, studious artist with great potential, after all, the great British director Ken Loach said so!
As for flattering the great poet Chen?
What he evaluates is not people, but works.

"Farewell My Concubine" is indeed worthy of respect, no matter how it is filmed, it cannot be overstated.

And does the work have anything to do with people?
Lu Ping'an felt that at this point, Poet Chen and himself might be on the same path.

My work is not mine, you seem. . .At least you have been proving this for so many years.

Cough, this is not my original idea!

Lu Pingan swears in his heart.

. . . . . . .

The exchange meeting will last until the afternoon. At noon, Poet Chen left after eating in the school cafeteria.

Before leaving, Poet Chen specially chatted with Lu Pingan for a few words.

"Xiaolu, do you want to have a premiere for your big movie?"

At present, domestic movies are released, and the premiere ceremony is actually not a routine.

When the movie is released, it will be released. Do a good job of publicity in the early stage, and then just wait for the box office and maintain public opinion.

Even the later main creators went on roadshows to theaters in various cities for publicity, and there were not many, at most, they just went to a few major cities.

The main reason is actually the problem of the film market, the current film is not so commercialized.

Box office performance is not the key to mainstream media coverage.

Only when "Hero" opens the era of commercial blockbusters at the end of next year, the film industry will truly move towards commercialization, and at that time, there will be more and more promotional activities such as premieres.

However, as a latecomer, Lu Pingan naturally knew that if he wanted to make money, he had to do a good job of publicity.

So he nodded and said: "I have this plan. It will take a few days to decide where the premiere will be shown, but the scale should not be very large."

"It's okay, send me an invitation letter then."

"Of course I will send it to you and your wife."

The great poet at this time is authority and traffic. He even offered to come to the platform, how could he refuse, and it was even more impossible to offend him.

The great poet then asked about the short film.

"Will you continue to make short films in the future?"

Lu Pingan didn't hide it either: "I still have a few ideas in my mind for what to do, and I want to try animation. I think animation is very interesting."

"Do you need help?"

"Thank you, Director Chen, but I already contacted Shangmei Factory when I went to Shanghai Film Festival the day before yesterday, so don't bother."

"Oh Shangmei Factory, so, let me help you get in touch."

After speaking, regardless of Lu Pingan's reaction, he directly picked up the phone and dialed out.

"Hey, old Fan..."

A few minutes later, the great poet said: "You write down this number. He is the person in charge of the Shangmei factory. I told him about the general situation. Just contact him later."

"Thank you Director Chen."

Lu Pingan kept a smile on his face, and reluctantly took down the phone number of Teacher Fan from the Shanghai Art Studio, thinking that he would have to explain it to Shanghai Film Studio later, otherwise it would be bad if he was misunderstood as a bet on both sides and made himself a bad person.

The great poet waved his hand generously after making the phone call: "You're welcome, you have done a good job, and striving to win an award is the best thanks."

"I try my best."

Lu Pingan felt helpless.

He can tell that the great poet is in a good mood now, and he will help you until he says he wants to help you. It doesn't matter if you accept it or not, as long as he is happy.

So in fact, he may not particularly value himself, he only values ​​part of it, and more is the feeling of liking to be kind and enjoying being appreciated.

After the great poet left, he immediately told Hu Qingquan about it.

Hu Qingquan is now his serious teacher and a partner who has no name for the time being. He should know about this kind of thing, and he should be able to help deal with it.

Hu Qingquan laughed directly when he heard about it: "He's just like this, pretending to be serious, don't worry about him, you can do your work, I'll take care of it."

After Hu Qingquan said so, he was relieved to be on the road safely, and at the same time made up his mind that he would not treat Hu Qingquan badly in the future. Such a good teacher is rare.

The afternoon exchange meeting ended at 3 o'clock. Among the people who came from all parties, those from the capital went back separately. Just as a tourist.

As the host, Lu Ping'an was assigned a task. In the afternoon, he took some brothers and classmates from Beiying to tour the capital.

Tang Wei also came after the show. She was straightforward and asked Lu Pingan if he could bring her in the next short film, and she could also watch it.

Tang Wei's Department of Directing Chinese Opera is actually quite different from the Department of Directing at Beijing Film Academy.

The director department of Chinese opera focuses more on performance, which is different from Beijing Film and Television, which focuses on technology.

Therefore, the appearance of the students in the Department of Chinese Theater Directing is good.

After Tang Wei, he focused on being an actor, and being a director was just a stepping stone to enter university.

So she said she was here to observe, but Lu Pingan naturally knew the actual purpose.

Lu Pingan didn't refuse either. Tang Wei is a good actor, and he really wanted to cooperate with him if he had the chance.

So he told the truth: "There is a plan for a short story, but this time I will do an animation. If there is a plan for real people, I will tell you that you have a good appearance and will be a good actor in the future. Of course, I will not miss it."

"Thank you!" Tang Wei didn't expect Lu Pingan to be so straightforward, and she was happy. After exchanging numbers, she took the initiative to help Lu Pingan take care of her classmates from other places.

With Tang Wei sharing the pressure, Lu Ping'an's tour guide task became much easier.

After playing all night, everyone had dinner at Quanjude in the capital, and then everyone went back to rest early, preparing to get up early the next day to watch the flag raising, and then other teachers would lead the team.

Lu Ping'an's mission ended here, he exchanged numbers with everyone and left with Tang Wei.

Driving Tang Wei to Zhongxi, Tang Wei confirmed again before getting off the car: "It's agreed, next time you have a plan, don't forget me."

"Don't worry, I will notify you."

Tang Wei is nice and warm-hearted, it's not a big problem to give it a chance.

A week passed quickly, and Lu Pingan completed the final exam of the freshman year.

Not long after, "Tuner" finally ushered in its premiere.
