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

Chapter 42 Fixed Angle, Unsolved Case, Startup

Lu Pingan sent a text message, and the behind-the-scenes members of Nortel's on-campus film crew who had already been booked were excited for an instant, and then gathered towards Hu Qingquan's office.

At the same time, news about Lu Ping An's new project spread quickly among Nortel students.

"Have you heard that Lu Pingan is going to open a new movie again?"

"Really or not, a short film or a movie?"

"Do you want to cast a role?"

"I don't know. If you really want to cast a role, maybe the teacher will say it."

"..."

A group of sophomores and above were talking about it.

Freshman students looked curious.

Jia Nailiang was ready to move: "Senior Lu will really cast roles in school?"

Everyone is very interested in this question, but no one can tell why.

"Really, what kind of actor does he want?"

"Maybe I will choose. The senior said that I didn't choose last time."

"If you really choose, there will be a lot of competition."

"If you choose it, it's an awesome pen."

"Will you be paid?"

"You are stupid, you still get paid, thank God if you can act."

"..."

Compared with the seniors, the freshmen are much more naive and immature.

But this does not affect the students' curiosity and admiration for Lu Pingan and their yearning for movies.

Lu Pingan, a miraculous senior, had already known about it when they entered university.

Freshman year, two short films won the Silver Bear Palme d'Or.

Even because he was deeply whipped by the teacher.

The short film "Tuner" is already a compulsory textbook in the appreciation class. No matter which department or domestic performing arts college, you have to do your homework after watching it.

At the same time, there is also a big movie with a box office of over 3000 million.

This is completely beyond what a student should achieve.

This is the shining capital of a great director.

And he's only a sophomore now.

The great director is by my side!

There is also always rumors in the school that Lu Pingan will cast a role in the school for the project.

Just like now, Lu Pingan is going to start another project.

Sophomore Zhang Songwen and the others were called directly.

This shows that students still have opportunities.

How exciting.

Back then, it was said that the short film "Tuner" wanted to choose someone.

As a result, Zhang Songwen practiced Mandarin with a stone in his mouth, and was accidentally seen by Lu Pingan.

And then there it is!
So Zhang Songwen has now become a famous movie star!

This is a movie cafe!

There is also one person who got into the drama of chicken and dog ascending to heaven. It is said that Zhou Yiwei is not very good at acting, he only knows how to play, but because he played well with Zhang Songwen, he also successfully participated in a big movie. Maybe he will be a movie star again in the future!
There are positive examples and negative examples.

Dong Xuan and Che Xiao in the acting class back then lost a huge opportunity just because they refused to show their underwear in front of the camera!
"What's wrong with wearing underwear, I'll just take it all off!"

"That's right, I don't have the spirit of dedication to art, no wonder I miss a good opportunity."

A group of freshmen were discussing there, Che Xiao and Dong Xuan covered their faces again and fled. . .

There was buzzing discussion on the side of the teaching building, and buzzing discussion on the side of the teacher's building.

"This student, Lao Hu, is working on a project again?"

"Yeah, old Hu is lucky, tsk tsk."

"Do you know what project?"

"Big movie, the script is said to be amazing."

"Amazing? Oh yes, this is the only way for Lu Pingan to count."

"Any chance to take a look?"

"What, is it itchy?"

"Nonsense, did Lao Hu say anything?"

"Not yet, he just came back, don't worry, he will say something good."

"..."

The teachers looked at Hu Qingquan's office, where the door was closed, and chatted buzzingly.

But in Hu Qingquan's office, it was very quiet at this moment.

A group of students who had been working together all this time frowned as they watched the script.

It was not until more than 20 minutes later that Hu Qingquan asked with a smile: "Have you understood the plot?"

"understood."

"Some understand."

"I still don't understand."

"Something scary."

"It's weird..."

Everyone has different expressions and different reactions.

This was all within Hu Qingquan's expectation.

He continued: "Next, let me tell you about physics..."

Discussion of the script continued until noon.

After Hu Qingquan finally ordered to abide by the confidentiality agreement, a group of students came out with a script in hand.

There was excitement and tension on his face.

The script is amazing, a group of art students who have not been affected by the era of information explosion, those physical settings sound amazing.

In addition, such a miraculous but logical setting is actually very smooth in the script.

Everyone once again wrote a word of admiration for Lu Pingan.

It's just that it's not easy to complete such a script.

There are too many things that need to be done, and every detail cannot be wrong.

Because the clues lie in the various details of the Way of Fuhua.

A little mistake can have a lot of impact on the whole film.

And this is why Hu Qingquan summoned everyone today.

Only when everyone understands the theme and subtleties of the movie can they keep up with Lu Pingan's thinking, so that everyone will not be confused when the filming starts, and everyone can even find mistakes together and correct them. Even those who don't understand can quickly integrate.

In this way, Lu Pingan will be much more relaxed.

"The next step is to fix the angle. What do you think?"

After everyone left, Hu Qingquan asked Lu Pingan.

"A total of eight actors, Yan Danchen, Zhang Songwen, and Zhou Yiwei have been confirmed, and two men and three women are needed. Of these five, I think there must be four older ones. It is not enough to use only students."

Hearing this, Hu Qingquan once again approved of Lu Ping'an's thinking: "This kind of drama that mainly focuses on lines really needs to find someone with more experience. Those who have experience in drama are the best, and they can take the rest with them. I suggest you bring Huang Lei on board." .”

"Teacher Huang, yes."

Lu Pingan nodded. Huang Lei has rich experience in drama and has a good relationship with him. He can indeed be brought in, but I don't know if he is free.

Lu Pingan immediately called him.

Soon, the other party readily agreed after knowing the intention of coming. At the same time, knowing that Lu Pingan still lacked a few experienced actors, Hou said that he would bring another person over.

After Huang Lei got it done, Lu Pingan called Chen Kun.

Soon, Chen Kun also readily agreed, and also wanted to bring someone over.

In this way, there are already 7 of them, and Lu Pingan didn't find any more people for the time being, and waited for Huang Lei and Chen Kun to see them after the four of them came over.

In the afternoon, Huang Lei and Chen Kun arrived at Nortel successively.

And the people they brought were familiar.

Huang Lei brought Haiqing, his student.

Chen Kun brought Mr. Zhou, his best friend.

Chen Kun and Mr. Zhou just finished "The Little Tailor of Balzac" a month ago, and they are free right now, so they just came over to take a look together.

So the quality of this lineup went up immediately.

Huang Lei is the first generation of four young students. Chen Kun will be named one of the new generation of four small students in December this year. Mr. Zhou will also be officially named one of the first generation of four young girls next year. Hai Qing is now acting in a drama. I don’t know how strong she is, but she is probably not too bad if she can be recommended by Huang Lei. She is also Yan Danchen’s junior, and they know each other. Needless to say, Zhang Songwen, after the protagonist of a movie, he already has a lot in the film industry. popularity.

In contrast, Zhou Yiwei, who was the protagonist for the first time, picked up a lot of money. Together with so many "big guys", he can raise his position, but his pressure has also become extremely huge.

However, it is not certain whether they will act or not.

Young Master Zhou said: "Let's read the script, as long as it's passable, I'm fine."

Lu Pingan confidently took out the script directly, one copy per person.

Next, the same expression appeared on the faces of the four of them.

From bewildered, to serious, to stunning.

Chen Kun said to Mr. Zhou proudly, "I just said you won't come in vain."

Mr. Zhou nodded with his signature hoarse voice: "It's really interesting, 'We think that there is another darker self in a certain world, but in fact we are that dark side', this sentence is great, Director Ping An , how did you come up with it?"

Lu Pingan shrugged: "I copied it, I forgot which book I copied it from."

Huang Lei smiled and said to everyone: "He is being modest and knows it."

Lu Pingan also smiled and said, "It's really copied."

Huang Lei ignored him, turned his head and continued to show off to Hai Qing: "I'm right, you must be pleasantly surprised when you come today."

Hai Qing nodded: "It's really unexpected. Lu Dao's thinking is really surprising, but I still don't understand it."

Lu Pingan smiled and said: "It's okay, the whole crew will study together for a period of time, and we will start filming after we understand it."

Things settled down very well.

A good script, a unique theme, and not much time, at most half a month, plus the ability to make friends, they made the decision without much hesitation.

The next thing is about the salary. Lu Pingan has probably learned about the situation. The current highest salary for mainland actors is far less exaggerated than that of later generations. It will not be until next year that Zhao Wenzhuo’s salary in "The Wind and Cloud" will set a record, 10 per episode. He has been famous for a long time, and he still has the status of a Hong Kong star.

Now, Huang Lei and Lu Pingan also have a thorough understanding. He said that the current external quotation is about 10 for one episode, and 30 to [-] for a movie. Mr. Zhou is about the same as him, and the two have basically squeezed into the front line.

Of course, this is a normal film and television drama. If the current schedule of "Comet" is at most half a month, it may not be used, so it will have to be discounted.

In the end, everyone gave a friendship price. Both Huang Lei and Mr. Zhou are 5. Chen Kun is a little less famous now, 3, Haiqing 5, plus Yan Danchen and Zhang Songwen are both 5, and Zhou Yiwei is 18. The total film salary [-].

It's really cheap.

I have to say that compared with the sky-high salary later, the current actor's salary is really too beneficial to the work.

However, Lu Pingan also knows that this kind of remuneration is a part of the friendship price. In addition, starting next year, the remuneration of all actors, especially film actors, will enter a stage of skyrocketing, and then step by step, it will move towards 208 million a day.

There are two "four small students" and one "four small Huadan" to join.

The popularity of "Comet" in the future is already quite strong.

Lu Ping'an decided that if the performance of the film is good, he will give everyone a big red envelope.

The matter was settled, and everyone agreed to start reading the script with the crew tomorrow.

Lu Pingan continued to look for the last actor.

Han Wenwen is filming now, there is no schedule, this has been said a long time ago.

So he thought of Gao Yuanyuan, but if he thought about it carefully, he would forget it. She is too beautiful, easy to steal the spotlight, and her acting skills are average, which affects his skills. She is still not single, and Tang Wei is similar. , not as cheap as your own girlfriend.

Yan Danchen mentioned it to him before, saying that her best friend He Lin had some troubles at home before, and now she is relatively short of money.

Although she didn't mention Lu Ping An's help, Lu Ping An also remembered it. Now that there is a chance, He Lin is indeed more suitable. She looks more gentle and has good acting skills. She is suitable for the role, so just give it to her.

Yan Danchen was very happy when he found out, and flew Lu Pingan into the sky that night.

In the end, the matter was settled, and the salary was not expensive, [-] yuan, the reverse friendship price, so I should help her.

It's just that Lu Pingan didn't realize a problem until the next day.

Who is the mother of Chen Kun's son?
At this time, Chen Kun's son was about to be born.

There are rumors that the heroine of this unsolved case is He Lin.

Because He Lin didn't have a play in 01.

And the two of them seem to have had that period too.

So if she comes, will she be awkward with Chen Kun?

But after Lu Pingan asked Yan Danchen, he knew that He Lin and Chen Kun had a good relationship, but not to that extent.

Sure enough, after He Lin came, she looked at the crew and found that they all knew each other. She and Mr. Zhou had acted together in "Daming Palace Ci", and Huang Lei was her teacher again, and she didn't have that strange feeling with Chen Kun. .

Now it's all right, the tacit understanding of the crew is even higher.

Lu Ping'an is very satisfied and has more confidence in "Comet".

Four days later, the crew of "Comet" finished its reading, the preparations for the crew were completed, and the film was officially launched.
