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

Chapter 65
Time passed quickly, and it was June in a blink of an eye.

On June 6st, there was news from the summit that the American version of "Tuner" was released on April 1th, and it has now been drawn, with a cost of 4 million US dollars, including publicity and distribution. , The book makes a small profit. In fact, the North American market is very different from the domestic market. They not only rely on box office to make money, but also the video disc market. It is said that the disc market has more than 28 million sales.

So this project seems to be a good profit project so far.

Wattsberg of Summit Entertainment said that they hope to cooperate again next time.

Of course we have to cooperate, that's what Lu Ping'an is waiting for, but it's not an adaptation for you, but a personal participation in the production!

It's just that Hollywood is exclusive, and it's not easy to do this.

But Lu Ping'an is not completely unsure, no matter what, let's go and have a look first.

It just so happens that "Memories of Building Blocks House" is about to start going through the process, and this time I just happened to be able to chat and watch it in the past.

At the same time as the news came from the summit, on June 6, the first batch of 1 theater lines in the country were officially established, including 30 inter-provincial theater lines, 11 intra-provincial theater lines, and eight provinces (cities) took the lead in completing two Regarding the establishment of cinema chains, three cinema chains were set up in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces respectively.

This is a great benefit for "Source Code". The next day, the person in charge of the theater came up to talk about cooperation.

Lu Pingan asked Han Sanpin to discuss these matters.

As for what can be talked about, Lu Pingan knows very well.

When it comes to increasing the sub-accounts and ticket prices, "Source Code" is not up to the mark for the time being.

So if you really want to be released before "Hero", don't think about these things, let the later "Hero" take the lead, and just care about the film arrangement.

On June 6th, the popularity of the World Cup in China reached its peak, because today is the first match of the national football group stage.

There are not many real fans of the crew, but when the atmosphere is here, they are all fans.

Lu Pingan also followed the crowd, and deliberately did not arrange any scenes during the game in the afternoon, and then organized to watch the game together.

Watching a ball, although the result is disturbing, but it can also play a relaxing role.

"Ping An, who do you think will win the championship this year?"

Before the game started, Ning Hao asked Lu Ping An.

"National football, the rest are all local chickens and dogs."

Lu Pingan replied without thinking.

"Speak the truth."

"Don't know, Brazil?"

"It's still reliable."

Ning Hao nodded and asked again, "Who do you think will win today?"

Lu Pingan shook his head: "I don't know anything about balls, so don't ask me, why, did you buy balls?"

Ning Hao proudly said: "Today I bought two hundred national football teams to win. If I win, haha, I can earn several thousand..."

Lu Pingan mourned for him.

Lu Pingan also bought gambling, but he didn't buy much.

He never watched football in his previous life.

For this World Cup, he only has two memories.

The national football team was defeated.

South Korea "killed" into the semi-finals.

Gone.

Among them, South Korea "killed" into the semi-finals because it was disgusted by the South Korean team during the 2022 Winter Olympics.

At that time, the Internet was full of black history of South Korea.

Among them, the 02 World Cup is one of the representatives.

Lu Pingan took a look along the way, and then remembered these two points.

As for the others, I really can't remember them, even if the memory has been strengthened now.

Those who don't understand the ball and don't watch the ball, how can they pay attention to these things if they really don't return.

So no one knows who is the champion of this year, let alone the top four or top eight.

So this World Cup can only make a small profit, which is a pity.

At 02:30 in the afternoon, the game started, the national football team played against Costa Rica.

Before the start of the game, everyone guessed a lot about the result of the game, and most of them were optimistic.

Before the national football team set off, Yan Shiduo, the head of the Football Association at this time, proposed for the national football team to score one goal, accumulate one point, and win a game.

Among them, the "win a game" benchmark is the game against Costa Rica.

Unfortunately, this idea is too naive.

In the end, the national football team ended the game 0 to 2, and there is not much time left for the national football team to qualify!
"We still have a chance!"

"Türkiye may not be that strong!"

"Theoretically, we only need to..."

"It's over..."

How familiar it sounds!

Lu Ping'an shook his head, every time the national football team went out in his previous life, his ears were full of such tunes.

It's a pity, if the national football team gives a little bit of support, Lu Pingan won't know much about the World Cup and football.

Otherwise, this year's World Cup will definitely be a big gamble.

The game is over, let's continue shooting.

On June 6, "Looking for a Gun" was released for nearly a month, and the box office reached 5 million.

But the media still praised it all the way. The focus of the publicity was that the copyright had already been sold, but no one said how much it was sold.

In fact, on the invisible Internet of the current mainstream film industry, discussions have already begun on whether "Looking for the Gun" is Jiang Wen's movie or Lu Tailang's movie.

Lu Pingan took a look and then turned off the computer.

On the "Source Code" side, today is the finale of all the extras.

The scene of the killing scene is very relaxed. Everyone listens to Guo Taoer's cross talk in the carriage, and then laughs in the most relaxing way.

This shot is one of the most classic shots in the "carriage scene": time stops.

There are several ways to shoot this kind of scene. If you are an amateur, you can just pose without moving. If you have more technical support, you can use actors to pose + high-speed photography + post-production tracking to synthesize small objects and special effects.

Lu Ping'an's approach is to try both. After all, there are not many such opportunities, so it's time to practice.

And if you shoot both, you can get an insurance policy.

After tossing for more than two hours, the last time began.

As Guo Taoer took the protagonist's money, the stand-up comedy started, and then Yu Qian joined in, and the stand-up became a double.

At one end of the carriage, Guo Taoer and Yu Qian, a passenger and a flight attendant, formed a strange combination of cross talk and began to talk about cross talk.

The camera flicked across the faces of each passenger, following the rhythm of the cross talk, talking and laughing, and the state was very natural.

Then Lu Pingan issued an order, and everyone stopped immediately.

The camera continued to flash.

The order is raised again.

Time stops and ends, laughter continues, life goes on, and the "tragedy" is over.

Then, Lu Pingan yelled "Crack!"

Everyone immediately cheered.

The finale of the dragon sets is over.

Everyone, Guorong, Lu Pingan and the behind-the-scenes of the crew expressed their hard work to each other.

"Brother, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

It was Baoqiang who spoke, showing his big white teeth to Lu Pingan.

"Then work harder in the future!"

"I will work hard!"

Bao Qiang's white teeth showed even bigger.

He has been favored by Feng Dapao now, all he needs is an opportunity, and the opportunity will come in the second half of the year.

"Guide Lu, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity."

Guo Taoer walked up to her, revealing her true feelings.

Lu Pingan smiled and waved his hands: "These words should be said at the finale banquet, I will ask you to drink a few more glasses of wine."

"Haha, no problem." Guo Tao began to ask Yu Qian who was beside him as he spoke, "Qian Er, after the finale, take good care of my brother's big family!"

Hahaha. . .

Everyone laughed, and then the big guys agreed to meet each other at the final banquet and then they left.

On June 6, Xiang Guoqiang returned to China and transferred to a domestic special effects company to bring back the first special effects shot, which was the tragic scene of the protagonist lying in the maintenance warehouse.

This shot has gained a lot of "brilliant pens" from several producers.

In fact, there is nothing impressive about it. This special effect is only the average level of the current Hollywood productions. However, the gap between China and Hollywood is too large. Suddenly, a domestic film with this kind of configuration makes everyone think it is amazing. Lu Pingan will not It's stupid enough to really let "X" output with all its strength, and there is no need to output it. After all, there are so many real scenes, and it is not necessary to use more advanced special effects.

This is good now. After seeing the special effects, everyone believes that Lu Pingan did not mess around, and the money was spent wisely. At the same time, they are more optimistic about the prospects of the film.

Two days later, "Source Code" was finished at the gate of Chaoyang International Trade Mall.

["Source Code" restoration rate is 97%, reward: Elementary Fighting Technique]

Primary fighting skills are similar to those of fighting enthusiasts who have practiced for two or three years.

In addition, Lu Ping'an's current physique may be stronger than that of ordinary people of the same level. It is not a big problem to fight an amateur of the same kilogram level with bare hands.

It's okay to keep fit and protect yourself.

That night, the production crew gathered again for a wrap-up banquet. After the reporters reported, a group of actors who had become friends were very happy.

Everyone is not famous, and famous people, such as Guorong, Jiang Wu, and Lu Pingan, are also very friendly, so the finale banquet is naturally very pleasant.

At the finale banquet, Guo Taoer and others and Lu Pingan once again solemnly thanked them.

Yu Qian's drinking posture is very full, and the two crosstalk talkers are especially good at persuading them to drink.

Fortunately, Lu Ping'an's drinking capacity is amazing, otherwise he would have to break the road today.

One by one lined up to toast, and when it was Deng Chao's turn, Lu Pingan laughed.

"Understood!" Deng Chao shook the red wine in his hand, "A total of NG53 times, ten times one cup, six cups!"

"Forget it, too much alcohol hurts your body, remember it first, but next time if you NG so much, you have to make up for it!"

Lu Pingan let him go, and said politely that he was worried about paying taxes at all. After hearing this, Deng Chao thanked him again and again. He naturally understood what it meant, and then he was bored.

Baoqiang is not very fluent in speaking now, especially in this kind of occasion. Fortunately, after filming for so long, he and Lu Pingan are already familiar with each other.

After a few words, Ka Ka dazzled a bottle of red, which couldn't be stopped.

Everyone praised.

Lu Pingan shook his head slightly in his heart, he actually didn't like this kind of atmosphere.

But that's the way it is in this age, there's no way.

After several rounds of respect, the big guys will fight on their own, and what they want for the green banquet is excitement.

At this time, the main table was free, and Guorong on the side also picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Lu Pingan:
"Ping An, thank you, this filming is the happiest I have been in the past few years."

How could he not know about the specially arranged cross talk by Lu Pingan and the mandatory rest time for him.

Moreover, in the latter part of the filming, after a NG, Guorong went through a long period of adjustments, and Lu Pingan also had a showdown with his assistant that night, saying that he knew the situation, and the reason was "I have seen this kind of disease."

Later, the two had a showdown, so up to now, the illness is no secret between the two.

Guorong expressed his gratitude to Lu Pingan for his full understanding.

Lu Pingan also actively provides advice.

Just like now, Lu Pingan replaced Guorong's red wine with fruit juice, and held a cup: "Brother, there will be more fun in the future."

"You mean the panda, right?"

"Yes, it depends on when you are free in the second half of the year. Let's go to Bashu to shoot together."

"Do you really want to invite me to make it together?"

Guo Rong was pleasantly surprised. He already knew the story of "Kung Fu Panda" when they met for the first time.

He was naturally very interested in this film.

Lu Pingan smiled and promised: "Of course, the Bashu Panda Protection Base has beautiful scenery, fresh air, and a soothing rhythm. There are not so many bad things. I can still see pandas every day. I am so worried that I feel better when I see pandas. It suits you now."

When Guorong heard the words, his face showed longing, but then he turned sad again, and said softly: "There are some diseases that cannot be cured."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Lu Ping'an's eyes were full of encouragement.

Guorong's illness, after observing these days, is actually similar to what Lu Pingan learned.

A large part of the reason for the deepening of the disease is due to negligence.

Now he is actually sick, but he doesn't take it seriously.

Refusing to seek medical treatment, living in a depressing environment, not being treated in time, and interrupting treatment without authorization.

"Depression" in this era is actually not understood.

People don't know that the death of depression is not suicide, but death of illness. They just feel that this person "can't think about it" and "deserves it".

In such an environment, many patients themselves will also have a great sense of stigma.

As Guorong said, I am so rich, I am kind to people, and I have never done a bad thing. How could this be?
This is to ask yourself, but also to seek the understanding and comfort of others.

But everyone doesn't understand.

In other words, only a few people understand it.

So these reasons also pushed him step by step into the abyss.

In fact, if you really want to receive comprehensive treatment properly, the prognosis may not be good, but the probability of being better than the original time and space is also extremely high.

I don't know if I can do it, but at least I have to work hard.

As a friend, Lu Pingan can't do much, so he can only buffer it in this way and create a favorable environment for him.

Do your best to obey the destiny, what if there is a miracle?

"Brother, try it, the panda protagonist is still waiting for you to name it."

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Guorong drank the juice in the glass in one gulp.

Lu Pingan also drank it all in one gulp.

He decided that everything was ready for the second half of the year, and he would be pulled over.

To make a movie, get away from it all, clandestine healing, the reason could not be more fitting.
