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

Chapter 56
After sending Han Sanpin away, Lu Pingan temporarily put aside the matter of the new movie, and devoted himself to the later stage of "Crime in Time and Space".

There is only a little more than a month before the submission of the Venice Film Festival, and the production has to be stepped up.

It's just a pity that I don't have time to make a short film, but fortunately, I may not win a prize if I do it.

There was news from Hu Qingquan overseas that he continued to go to various film festivals after the end of "Time and Space Evil". Pathfinder.

In the morning, he called and said that this year there is a very fierce short film called "Joker", which is about a documentary against the background of the Afghan war, and Lu Ping'an needs to pay attention to it.

Lu Pingan immediately remembered this movie.

This "Joker" is not the other "Joker". I saw it when I searched for "Joker" back then. It has a color that Westerners like, and it is also the undisputed best short film in Venice this year.

There is such a film this year, and only fools will argue with it.

That's good, the Venice short film will be able to be a company with Oscar next year.

While working, investors continued to call, and Lu Pingan also continued to push back, saying that he would rush to edit and prepare for Venice.

Everyone expressed their understanding, but those who should come up to contact will still come up.

No one wants to fall behind and miss the cake.

Wu Guohua counted the approximate quotations of the investors, and Lu Pingan focused on the advertisers.

The offer from the advertiser was indeed the same as what Han Sanpin said.

Wu Guohua: "Youngor sponsors all clothing, plus 50 yuan. If there are big-name stars, the price can be discussed in detail...Red Bull 20 yuan, which requires a total of not less than 5 seconds of footage. The film lineup can add money... Birds for mobile phones The quotation is the highest, 30 yuan per shot plus a brand name line, if there are big names, you can add more, there is no cap..."

Lu Pingan smiled and said: "Well, there is no cap on one, so I am worth 30, and the big-name stars are unlimited?"

Wu Guohua adjusted his glasses: "That's not the case. Whether or not there is a cap is just a means of quoting."

"Of course I know."

Lu Pingan smiled, glanced at the script and said, "What do you think?"

"I think it is feasible to find big-name stars to join. The joining of big-name stars can increase the upper limit of the box office. Coupled with the joining of many advertisers, it will not increase the production cost much and can reduce the project risk. Boss, your new movie has a lot of attention. Gao, if you really do it, the audience will have more expectations for the quality of the film, and the media and the industry will also pay more attention to your box office data. Our film does not compete for awards, so now the high box office is very important to the boss and the company. Of course, the most important thing is the risk, I think that big-name stars are actually an insurance policy, the premise is that the stars are big enough.”

"Well said."

Lu Pingan nodded in agreement.

In fact, he doesn't care about the risks or anything else. As the saying goes, the cost is high to the outside world, but it is actually very cheap.

Wu Guohua didn't know this, so naturally he wouldn't consider it from this aspect.

But he was also right.

But it is difficult to implement.

The most important thing is who to find.

"Who do you think is suitable?"

"I checked the quotations. Currently, the quotations for single-film films of the four kings are around 500 to 800 million. Among them, Andy Lau is the most noteworthy. The salary for Andy to star in the mainland will be much lower, and it can reach 500 million. Aberdeen’s popularity in the mainland is very high, it’s worth considering, there are other people who are more popular than him, such as Guorong, Fa Ge, Jeter, Cheng Long, etc., but it will be very difficult to invite these people.”

Lu Pingan agreed.

In fact, Xiangjiang stars are the most suitable. For example, the urban modern atmosphere of the four heavenly kings is not comparable to mainland stars. At the same time, they have reputation and popularity. Their acting skills and achievements are very good, and their fans radiate to a wide range. It's no wonder that they are enjoying themselves so much in the Mainland at this time.

The stars in the mainland at this time are actually a little bit of a star, the famous ones are too "old" and "upright", and few young ones have box office appeal, and it will take many years.

Lu Pingan said to Wu Guohua: "Choose a few advertisers with the highest bids, and ask, if Guorong, Huazi, etc. join, how much are they worth?"

"understand!"

Wu Guohua took orders and left.

When he came back more than an hour later, he handed over the document with the recorded data and said: "The average increase is at least three times! Among them, Fa Ge and Cheng Long are the most popular, and Guo Rong has more than Hua Tsai."

"It does seem to be very rich."

Lu Pingan smiled and waved his hands, "Go and do your work first."

"it is good."

Lu Pingan thought, if he really wants Xiangjiang stars, he has only one goal, and that is Guorong.

Everything else was either too expensive, or almost meaningless in his opinion.

The reason for choosing Guorong is that on the one hand, his strength is fully qualified, his character image and appeal are the most suitable, and he has a high rank, above the four heavenly kings, but the price is not the most expensive, basically fixed at around 500 million, Cheaper than the Four Heavenly Kings, this is what we saw in the reports of later generations, and it should be the same now.

On the other hand, it is naturally due to well-known reasons. It is now the first half of 2002, so it would be best if we can cooperate this year.

The film in Lu Pingan's hands will be produced very quickly, and it will be released this year, which will also save a lot of irresistible troubles.

If Guorong can really be invited, needless to say, Qian Jing in this film can go up two floors.

However, Lu Pingan felt that this was relatively difficult, and I heard that Guorong was very picky in accepting the film.

Fortunately, he also has a way.

Jiang Wen and Guorong knew each other. A few days ago, Guorong said that he wanted to learn from Jiang Wen as a teacher and learn from him as a director. This was reported in the newspaper.

Lu Pingan felt that he was his student and had invested in his "Looking for a Gun", so he didn't hesitate at all, he was loyal enough, it would be no problem to contact him now.

So he immediately called Jiang Wen to explain the situation.

Sure enough, Jiang Wen said that he would help, and he will contact you in a few days. He is still busy these days, and there is no guarantee of the result in the end. After all, he is a big star, not an idler.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Pingan put the matter behind him and continued to edit the film.

It's okay if you can succeed, or you can't.

The lack of stars in the film is nothing more than less sponsorship fees and less special effects fees, which does not affect the overall quality.

. . . . . . . .

Liu Qianqian contacted him through QQ during the film editing.

"Brother Ping An, do you suggest that I act in "The Family of Gold Fans"?"

"Is this what your mother asked you to ask?"

"no."

"Then go, act hard, study hard."

"The Family of Gold Powder" is about to start, time flies so fast.

After Liu Qianqian sent a message, Dong Xuan also sent a message.

"The school has cast casting, do you think I will go?"

Dong Xuan has been texting him frequently since "Time and Space Evil".

Lu Pingan also returned the same.

"What crew?"

"It seems to be called the Snow Goddess Dragon."

"Go ahead and wish you success."

Her famous work is here, contributing half of her career life bar, of course I suggest her to go.

The other person quickly replied: "Listen to you, by the way, you haven't invited me to a big meal yet."

"Let's talk about it later, I'm busy now."

"It's okay, don't go back on your word."

"of course."

The little girl must have lost her mind.

It's a pity that the current Lu Pingan doesn't have the heart to think about these things for the time being. These days, cutting the film and cutting the ground, one knife after another, his heart is much colder.

During Qingming, Lu Ping'an went to the Demon City to see the original owner's grandmother and relatives on the mother's side.

Traveling through time for so long, and now becoming famous again, I really have to go and see, at least I can't let others down.

Fortunately, the relatives on the original owner's mother's side are similar to those on the original owner's father's side. There are teachers and agencies, but they don't do business, so there is nothing bad about it, and they know what to do as a family member of a celebrity. Lu Ping An is satisfied. .

Three days later, Yan Danchen returned from visiting the grave in his hometown.

As soon as they met, they stuck to Lu Pingan.

"Little Ping'an, guess what delicious food I'm going to give you today?"

Yan Danchen lifted the bag in his hand.

"I don't know, is it Buddha jumping over the wall?"

"Of course not~"

"Oh, that's the house full of gold and jade."

"Guess well~"

"Could it be...Xiao Chenchen?"

Lu Pingan hugged Yan Danchen, causing the little beauty to scream.

No matter what the main course is, eat the appetizer first.

After paying the food, Yan Danchen took out a bunch of things he bought for Lu Pingan, including clothes, shoes, socks, underwear, etc., in various colors, which were quite different from Lu Pingan's usual style.

Lu Pingan put on a red sweater with a giant panda on his chest, which looked like the later isosceles triangle "Hua Hua". Wearing it like this made him look much more lively.

After Lu Pingan put it on, Yan Danchen was very satisfied.

"That's the best way. I always wear some black and gray. It's too old-fashioned. I will wear these at home from now on."

"It feels a little childish."

"Hmph~ I don't know who gave the six-eyed flying fish."

"Picking up girls, isn't it normal to spend a little time thinking?"

"It's me who was deceived by such a stupid means."

"The key still depends on who uses this method. It's called charm!"

"Yes, yes, Xiaopingan is the most attractive!"

After laughing and laughing for a while, Yan Danchen made a table for Lu Ping'an with the delicious food brought from his hometown.

Lu Ping'an praised her cooking skills, which made Yan Danchen proud.

After eating and washing the dishes, the two watched TV on the sofa.

What happened to be on TV was "The Love History of the Tang Dynasty".

This movie started airing on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I don’t know how many rounds it is now.

This episode is the first time Wu Zetian, played by Qin Lan, served Li Shimin in bed.

Qin Lan is indeed pretty, and the location is very tempting.

Li Shimin pinched Wu Meiniang's chin, and then said his lines, his fingers slowly slid down, over his neck, and then down, Wu Meiniang began to breathe rapidly and rolled his eyes.

Thief!

Yan Danchen said temptingly at this moment: "Do you want to meet this actor? I know him."

"Okay, let her come here now, and leave enough space for her in the middle of our bed."

"Lu~Ping~An!"

"Woman, you provoked me first!"

There was another burst of laughter, and the TV was over, Yan Danchen talked about his troubles:
"Recently, a lot of crews are looking for me, and I don't know which one to choose."

"What crews are they?"

"There are "Yi Tian Shou Long Ji", "Da Ran Fang", and "Dragon Ba Bu" also contacted me for an audition, but this is going to be summer vacation."

They are all good films!
It's just that according to Yuan Shikong's words, she doesn't seem to be able to get in any of them.

However, the current Yan Danchen is more famous than the same time in the original time and space.

I don't know if it will affect the result.

Lu Pingan asked: "Are you looking for an audition or are you looking for a specific role?"

"There are auditions, and there are roles."

"Which set the role?"

"There are about four plays, as long as I agree, I can act in them, but I don't like them very much. The few films I told you are for me to audition for."

"Oh, then you should try all three of them."

"I'm afraid I won't be chosen."

"What's there to be afraid of? Isn't that what auditions are all about?"

"Because I have idol baggage, hahaha."

Yan Danchen laughed as he spoke.

After laughing, she returned to seriousness: "I'm really afraid of being brushed off."

"It's normal to be censored, and it's not normal to not be censored. There are so many pitfalls. Unless you are really famous, powerful, and have someone behind you, it is not easy to get a job normally."

"It's true, the circle is very dirty."

"Then do you still want to try?"

"What do you think?"

"just go."

Lu Pingan squeezed Yan Danchen's chin, and then slowly slid his fingers down, "Try whatever you like, if you can't act, or you are tired of acting, come back and your man will make a movie for you!"

"Little Ping'an."

Yan Danchen hugged Lu Pingan emotionally, "Why are you so kind to me?"

"Silly girl, don't you treat me well?"

"How can it be the same?"

"It's the same here."

"You dote on me too much."

"I won't spoil you anytime soon."

"Why... ah, why are you up again!"

"It's not all because of your big butt, wow, it's still moving! No more, turn off the TV!"

"Ahaha don't..."

On the second day, Jiang Wen called: "I will help you with what you want!"
