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

Chapter 74 Power On, Asian Rattlesnake

"I Love You" is a South Korean movie, it's about the love between old people, it's very warm and delicate.

Lu Pingan didn't take it out to shoot right now, let alone for others, it was just to whet the appetite and test it out.

To say the reason is not to prove anything.

It's just pure lust.

Lu Pingan thinks that he has never been an innocent man.

The other party is beautiful, intellectual and feminine, and my side is perfect and handsome.

In a foreign country, Yu Feihong is the only fellow of the opposite sex, and the two can chat again, and the distance between them is getting closer and closer under the influence of various factors.

In this case, how can the hormones be stimulated?
It's just that how Yu Feihong and Yu Feihong will develop in the future depends on the specific situation.

If Yu Feihong treats this aspect seriously, he is not too interested in adult games.

Then "there is no inspiration, the script cannot be completed", and the matter is over.
Early the next morning, Hu Qingquan packed his luggage and went out.

There was also a burly white man walking with him, who seemed to have a sense of security, expensive for a reason, and Lu Pingan felt relieved.

After Hu Qingquan went out, Lu Pingan and David picked up Yu Feihong.

After Yu Feihong got into the car, Lu Pingan asked her, "How is the script?"

Yu Feihong pursed his lips, and replied calmly: "It's okay."

"Oh, that's just average. Hey, it seems that I really don't have any talent. Forget it, I won't write."

"I'm just kidding you."

"Hahaha, the face changes very quickly."

"I'm an actor anyway..."

There was laughter in the car.

The two chatted about the script, and the relationship seemed to be getting closer unconsciously.

Although the driver David didn't understand, he was also very happy because the boss said that he can directly enter the male lead's retest and prepare well in the next few days.

In fact, Lu Pingan has already decided to give him the leading role, unless anyone can surpass his high score of 9.9.

It's just that this kind of thing can't be given directly, and it's fine for Chinese people. For foreigners, Lu Pingan has no empathy.

Half an hour later, the car came to a new breakfast restaurant, which was recommended by David, and he promised that it would not be too sweet.

After a meal, sure enough, it was not bad!
Then the car continued to go to the summit.

Summit Wattsberg arranged an office for him to use for projects.

Today's task is very simple, but also very tedious.

Production of props, scene layout, formulation of shooting schedule, and preliminary casting of actors, etc.

The first time he started working officially, Lu Pingan encountered problems.

It's still language.

Through the use of language learning cards, Lu Ping'an's English level has improved several levels, but he still stutters when dealing with such professional matters.

Fortunately, this is easy to solve. It’s just that you’re not familiar with it. You can learn it quickly. For example, the jargon included in it is just like the “boss” and “tiaozi” in China. Foreigners who have learned written Chinese will be confused when they hear it. , but you will understand after using it a few times.

During this period, Yu Feihong gave a lot of help.

"As expected of someone who has lived in Laomei for several years!"

During the break, Lu Pingan praised.

"It's okay, just a little more than you know."

Yu Feihong was full of humility, turned his head and praised Lu Pingan again, "You are not bad, your oral English has improved very quickly. When you went to Berlin to give your acceptance speech before, you used a Chinese accent."

"Sister Yu even knows this? Oh, it feels so good to be silently watched!"

"Smart words, you are a good person at work!"

"You're wronging me, I'm never a good person!"

After hearing this, Yu Feihong burst out laughing, and quickly replied seriously: "Continue to work!"

"okay!"

The rest of the work went smoothly.

Fengfeng and his group are veterans in the industry, and they know everything.

Of course, it is more that they take the road safely, because the rules in Hollywood are relatively strict, and everything cannot be solved by "working overtime" and "overcoming it".

When it's time to get off work in the afternoon, the work is basically arranged properly, and tomorrow they can divide their work according to the plan.

After get off work, Lu Pingan still walked with Yu Feihong, but it was not Lu Pingan's residence, but Yu Feihong's home.

Arrived at the place, entered the door.

Lu Pingan took a good look around.

There is nothing to see, not many things, obviously Yu Feihong does not plan to live for a long time.

After a while, Yu Feihong prepared dinner, which was steak.

"Eat as you go, here, the chopsticks are here."

"Steak is a luxury in China, and it's made by sister Yu, so I don't dare to dislike it."

Lu Pingan took the chopsticks and bit them.

After a meal, the two continued to chat about the script.

"Saw" occupies a large part, and "I Love You" occupies a small part.

Because Lu Ping'an is still keeping secrets, he just doesn't reveal the next content, the reason is that he hasn't conceived it yet.

Yu Feihong lost her temper, but she was not in a hurry, she had already seen that this was a hook, specially designed to hook her.

One puts the hook, and the other asks him to put the hook.

So this is a game between adult men and women, pulling and pulling, that's the content of the game.

After all, I'm over 30, so I understand everything.

After chatting until 10 o'clock, Lu Pingan left, and the day's work was over.

It was still the same the next day.

And this rule has been maintained.

In the following time, Lu Pingan made preparations for "Chain Saw" during the day, and checked the progress of the special effects rendering of "Source Code" at night.Lu Pingan's special effects computer room in Laomei is also in Santa Monica. Tian Xiang Guoqiang has already done it a few days ago. It cost 8 US dollars, which is not a high configuration. Lu Pingan is not in a hurry, just do it slowly.

During this period, the unshakable thing was to send Yu Feihong home after get off work, and then cook, eat and wash dishes together.

Over the past few days, the relationship between the two has become closer again. They splashed water on each other while washing dishes and played around, pushing the relationship to a critical point.

It depends on who is the first to pierce the window paper and take the first step.

And Lu Pingan also noticed that during this period, Yu Feihong didn't ask Lu Pingan anything about his relationship, and he didn't even make insinuations.

The same goes for Lu Pingan.

So the past relationship has become a tacit forbidden zone between the two.

Do not inquire about each other.

It's pretty obvious what that means.

Such a tacit understanding lasted until June 6th, when "Saw" was launched on the summit studio.

At this time, all the actors are in place.

Casting auditions started 7 days ago.

The first day is the first test, just to see a few suitable characters, and Lu Ping'an's task is to collect actor cards, and then go back and use the simulator at night to pre-shoot the movie and make arrangements for the actors.

This approach is extremely efficient.

After a few nights of hard work, Lu Ping'an has already mastered the shooting and has a lot of confidence in the casting.

When it was time for the re-examination, none of the actors who came over had a score lower than 9.2.

During the period, there were still many gorgeous actresses who wanted to use special means.

But with Sister Yu around, is Lu Pingan the kind of person who messes around?

Sister Yu asked, "Why doesn't director Lu Da do as the Romans do?"

Lu Pingan looked righteous: "I am a gentleman!"

In fact, even if Sister Yu wasn't watching, Lu Pingan wouldn't mess around.

After all, this place is Laomei, who knows what kind of strange diseases these people have!

When it came to the final audition, David, the driver, was under a lot of pressure, because at first glance, he seemed to be on par with himself.

The actual situation is also true, a total of 36 people, all with a score of 9.5 or more.

David's 9.9 can only rank third.

Fortunately, the second place is black, 10.0, and this person is also the original actor Danny Glover.

The first place is an actress, 10.1, named Ina Jenvis, she is very beautiful, but like David, Lu Pingan is not familiar with her face.

Hollywood has no shortage of such actors.

Their personal abilities are good, they are good at singing and dancing, but there are only a few who can stand out, and they are a small group of pyramids.

The rest are the cannon fodder of dreams.

As a result, "Chain Saw", a foreign director-directed, low-budget film that won't stand out when you see it, attracted nearly a hundred people to submit their resumes on the first day.

Under the starlight of Hollywood, there are many bones
The emotion is over, and the audition is over.

David got the leading role, 9.9 points, nothing wrong with him.

David thanked again and again, very excited.

"This is the first protagonist in my life, boss, thank you, thank God, I'm going to call my mother!"

The rest of the actors are also confirmed, and the average salary is 8000 US dollars.

The most expensive one is Danny Glover, who later became more famous and has acted in many films now, but he is still a supporting role, and he won 2.

After the matter is settled, the contract will be signed, the script will be distributed, and then on the 28th, the film will be officially launched.

. . . . . . .

On the first day of shooting, Lu Pingan spoke to everyone before the shooting started:
"My name is Lu Pingan. You can call me Lu. I am the director and producer of this film. To put it simply, I paid for this film and I have the absolute control over the project. Next If so, don’t you need to say more?”

"Understand the boss! I will work hard!"

The first to respond was David, followed by the others.

They are all Hollywood dreamers, so they naturally understand the rules.

If Lu Pingan didn't say that he had the initiative, they would probably just treat Lu Pingan as an ordinary director.

The position of director can be changed at any time in Hollywood, especially foreign directors.

Well now, Lu Pingan is the producer and has the absolute dominance, so this is really related to the issue of employment.

So everyone, let's throw out the last bit of thought left in my heart.

After the filming started, Lu Ping'an's "skillfulness" surprised everyone even more, including the staff of the summit.

The people present have more or less seen many film crews, and everyone knows the general process of filming.

Basically, it will not deviate from the rule of "preparation for half an hour, adjustment for half an hour, and shooting for 10 minutes". This is just a few shots in the same scene, and it does not include the time spent on pre-makeup and so on.

After all, this is creation, not copying homework.

But Pingan Lu was very different. After putting on makeup, Pingan Lu took less than 10 minutes to prepare and adjust, and then started shooting in the next 10 minutes, and then trained the actors over and over again, performance, movement, and tone of lines.

"Relax."

"Speak your lines faster."

"Be more nervous, okay, that's it!"

There is no deliberation, no "try another way of acting", no "I think this is okay, come on, change the camera angle", and there is no "this won't work, change the lines again".

The whole court is precisely in the middle of the bullseye.

When it is in place, then click.

Efficient, concise, precise and fast.

As if it has been photographed countless times.

This also made the actors feel that this is indeed a low-cost movie with only 100 million yuan, and it is really rough!

But when they saw the replay on the monitor, it felt different.

David directly gave a thumbs up: "Boss, amazing! I didn't expect that I could act like this!"

Nonsense, I have photographed you more than twenty times, I already know what habits you have in acting!
Lu Pingan was a little proud in his heart, but his mouth was full of guns: "Will you not know when you are acting? Stop flattering and continue to the next scene!"

"understand!"

David returned to the set in a hurry.

The same goes for the rest.

Now in their eyes, the impression of "20 years old", "Chinese" and "non-native" has completely disappeared.

The rest are just precise, efficient and capable!

The actors were discussing during the break:

"Do you think Lu looks like Kobe of the Lakers?"

"A little bit, he is very capable, why don't you call him Peter Pan."

"Peter Pan doesn't sound good, just call it the Sidewinder Missile, and it can hit wherever you point, with terrifying precision."

"That's fine, let's call him an Asian rattlesnake."

"Are there rattlesnakes in Asia?"

"Never mind him, it didn't exist before, but now it does?"

"makes sense."

So Lu Pingan got the nickname "Asian Sidewinder Missile".

In the afternoon, it was simplified to "Asian rattlesnake", which has the meaning of crossing the river.

Lu Ping'an's ears are sharp. When he heard this nickname, he searched for words in his mind for a long time, and finally understood that there was nothing to say.

This is the first day there is such a nickname, and there is no one else.

Peak Wattsberg smiled happily.

"Lu, this proves that the actors like you. If they hate you, believe me, they will not give you such a nice nickname. Los Angeles Rattlesnake, how mighty, I am starting to envy you. It seems that you have integrated into Hollywood very smoothly ah!"

safe trip:"..."

　This book is not a single heroine, and I don’t know how to write a single heroine. My writing power is limited, so I can’t write this kind of thing. Chapter 65 has already been said in this chapter, so let’s talk about it now.

　　It’s impossible for gunfire to penetrate half the sky, but there will definitely be intersections with actresses. If you don’t engage in pure love, a book has 200 million words. In the future, you will meet all kinds of actresses, and you can’t really be one. Don't touch it, that's so boring, right? Entertainment, don't say you don't like to read it!
　　Also, I don’t know whether to be happy or sad about the studio. Is it too impersonal, so that you misunderstand it?
