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

Chapter 70 Screening, Routine

Entering the arena, Yu Feihong's seat was relatively at the back. I don't know why she chose this seat, or the conductor chose it for her on purpose.

Lu Pingan sat in the front, waited for a while, and started the screening.

He looked back, there were a total of forty people in the theater, and the attendance rate was not bad, and when he looked at Yu Feihong, who was alone, he simply walked to the back and sat with her.

It's okay for the group of people in the front to talk after the show is over.

"Why are you sitting here?"

"I'm afraid you will be alone."

"loquacious!"

Sister Yu said she was disgusted, but she also took the initiative to help Lu Pingan get off the chair. After Lu Pingan sat down, the short film began to be shown.

"Memory Building Blocks House" can not be regarded as an all-round tear gas bomb in general, it mainly depends on who it is aimed at.

The older you get, the more you feel tear-jerking.

The protagonist in the film is an old man whose house had to be raised because of rising sea water, implying the increase of age.

The house is getting smaller and smaller, implying that life will come to an end.

After the house was built, the old man's favorite pipe fell into the sea.

In order to salvage the pipe, the old man put on a diving suit and went downstream layer by layer.

Every time you go downstream, a memory opens.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, meeting and falling in love, parting and reunion in life slowly unfold in reverse order.

The biggest difference between this version of "Memories" and the original version is the Chinese style in the film.

Some ships were replaced with sailboats, and most of the houses, characters, props, etc. were replaced with Chinese ones. With the full screen of sea water, it actually tasted like a water town. Lu Pingan once again praised the masters of Shangmei Factory them.

In addition to Chinese elements, the film also retains some Western-style and modern objects. The higher the building, the more modern and Western-style elements; The era is developing at the same time, and the sense of the times is also overwhelming.

From the overall point of view of the film, the meaning of the plot is conveyed in place, and for Chinese people, they can appreciate a little bit of this era's emotion better than Westerners.

Before he knew it, the 12-minute film ended, and the theater was silent. Lu Pingan saw that some people were already wiping their tears, including Yu Feihong beside him.

It's just that she didn't have tissues, but Lu Pingan happened to have them.

Pulling out a tissue, handing it over, with a twitch of his brain, he wiped away her tears.

Then they looked at each other for a few seconds, and then let go of their hands.

"Thank you, your short film is really good."

Yu Feihong took the tissue and said with emotion as if nothing had happened, "Now I believe that you can really make a movie about love. When are you going to do it?"

Lu Pingan also tried to keep calm: "I'll give you the script later, I wrote a little bit, please correct me."

"It is I who worship!"

Yu Feihong responded softly, the lights were on at this time, and it was time to end.

At the end of the film, Hu Qingquan saw Yu Feihong was there, and exclaimed what a coincidence, this time completely wiped out the little ambiguity just now.

They both came to Nortel at the same time before, and they both knew each other.

After a brief chat, Lu Pingan was dragged by Hu Qingquan and continued to communicate with the guests who came over.

Wattsberg: "Lu, you shocked me again, I didn't expect you to be able to control this style..."

Sashan: "I like this story very much. This is the best short film I have seen this year. Lu, I hope you will have good luck with this Oscar..."

"..."

A group of people praised it, followed by the media who made a special report on Oscar.

"Lu, can you tell me about the source of inspiration for the short film?"

Lu Ping'an's face was red and heartbeat: "From my grandparents, this is a gift for them, and a gift for all those who have good memories."

"Lu, do you think the short film can win an award?"

"I think everyone with good memories will love it, and I hope it wins an award so more people around the world can see it."

"lu"

After the brief interview, this time when Lu Pingan came over, Laomei's task about Oscar was completed.

Screening + interview is equivalent to setting an anchor, announcing that the man who holds three major European short film awards is coming!
A series of future film festivals, public relations and lobbying actions will start now.

And the future high point will be before the finalists are announced, that is, between November and January next year.

What can be done depends on the response of the film on the one hand, and the strength of the public relations team on the other.

The person in charge of public relations who came today is good. He was introduced by Fengfeng Watzberg. He also brought Sa Shang today, and he also brought the media people for the Oscar special report.

The person in charge of public relations named Dale said: "Lu, your short films are of high quality. The nature of short films and feature films is different, and you are a student at school. I think there is no problem in being shortlisted..."

Dale outlines the real advantages of some short films for the Olympics.

To put it simply: the fences for short films are not as high as those for feature films, and regions, authors' nationality, production companies, race, etc. are not as important as feature films.

To put it bluntly, short films are not as important as feature films.

But only limited to the shortlisted.

In the end, I still won the public relations award, but fortunately, the difficulty of public relations is the same as what Hu Qingquan said, not as difficult as feature films.

"Believe me, Lu, let us do the operation this time. Before the nominations are announced, we will spread the name of this short film throughout North America."

Dale looked sincere.

"Follow the rules."

Lu Pingan smiled back.

If you are unfamiliar with the place, there are too many examples of others taking you as a fat sheep.

This is especially true for Westerners. There is no so-called nobility and contract spirit, and the minimum precautions are still required.

So everything is fine according to the rules.

What is the rule, that is, pay according to monthly performance.

Very commercial process.

It is now June, and there will be several film festivals in July. The quality of the works is here. If the company is not working well, it can be changed at any time.

Hollywood has no shortage of such operational teams.

Which operation team is the closest to the "Golden Luangdian"?
There are indeed feature films, but short films are relatively "fair".

Anyway, let them do it first.

If the quality of the film is good, the advantage will be great. If the reputation is soaring, there will be more capable people coming over. Lu Pingan has no nostalgia for the past. When the time comes, he will give it to whoever is strong. There is nothing to hesitate. He is ready. Money, just wait for the result.

After the screening, Lu Pingan will also attend a reception with the guests, which is also organized by this public relations company.

Before leaving, Lu Pingan asked Yu Feihong: "Sister Yu, do you want to be together tonight?"

"You are busy with your work. I will go to the spa later."

"Then contact me when you are free, please be my tour guide."

"Okay."

The two said goodbye very naturally.

An hour later, Lu Pingan came to the reception.

The form of reception is very common in the old United States. It is not much different from drinking tea and chatting with domestic people, and exchanging business cards with each other.

People are in it, good at communicating, and just let people know you.

Today's protagonist is Lu Ping'an again, so there is no such thing as standing like a minion.

Of course, everyone will not really give you the stars, after all, this is just a reception, the main theme is getting acquainted and communicating, and you will have to wait until your grades are really good.

And now Lu Ping'an's achievements in feature films are only acceptable in China.

The three major European achievements will naturally be weakened in Hollywood, and it is also a short film.

So everyone respects Lu Ping An personally, but how much will Lu Ping An achieve in Hollywood and Oscars in the future?
let's drink first
Chatting with everyone one by one, Hu Qingquan was left to decide about the short film, while Lu Pingan and Wattsberg went to the side sofa and sat down in a tacit understanding, and chatted.

After sitting down, Watts talked about Lu Ping'an's works. The adaptation rights of "Black Hole" were resold to another company, earning 30 US dollars. Lu Pingan knew about this.

"Comet" will be screened on a small scale next time, and he also has the right to adapt it. Next, like the American version of "The Tuner", he will look at the market and then choose an opportunity to adapt.

The focus is still on the American version of "The Tuner". After this film, Watts became more confident in Hollywood, talking endlessly about how many people were not optimistic about it at the time, but they all shut up after the box office came out.

In a word, Lao Tzu is now at his peak, and he has the temperament of a successful person from head to toe.

Taking advantage of the atmosphere, Lu Pingan began to say in a half-joking way: "Watts, I'm curious, what kind of salary does a successful person like you offer to be your boss? A blockbuster movie every two years is enough Not enough?"

The two have cooperated many times, and the relationship is not bad at present. Now Lu Ping'an is boasting again. With the strength of wine, Watts laughed after hearing this: "Of course, if anyone can really do this, let alone two years, it will be three years." I think not only me, but any Hollywood studio will regard him as the boss."

As soon as the words fell, the Golden Finger reminder sounded.

【ding~】

Lu Pingan smiled.
　The editor said, it will be on Sanjiang next week, and then it will be on the shelves on Wednesday or Friday.
