China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

The filming work in Hong Kong went very efficiently.

It only took one day and the task was completed.

The main reason is that "Pacific Rim" actually doesn't use real scenes very much.

The same is true for the original film. After all, this is the future world, and Hong Kong is the last bastion of mankind. How many of the original landmark buildings can be preserved under such conditions?

So this time it’s the same. Lu Ping’an only selected individual buildings, as well as the night scene with many food stall signs at night, as well as the grand view of Victoria Bay.

And then it's over.

The team will then re-set the scenes in the Mainland and complete various shooting in the studio just like the original "Batman".

When it comes to the street scene in Xiangjiang, just come to Xiangjiang for review.

This is a rule, otherwise the movie will not be released in Hong Kong.

With the filming matters completed, Lu Ping'an's mission to Xiangjiang was half completed.

The remaining half is to chat with Chen Jiashang.

This is also very simple, just find someone from Guorong.

Chen Jiashang and Guorong are friends and have a special fate.

The first film that Chen Jiashang participated in was "Fate" in 1984, which was written by him.

At that time, Guorong was not yet a big star, and he was not the male lead originally planned for the movie. Chen Jiashang, who was working as a scriptwriter at Shaw Brothers at the time, and a group of young people strongly recommended Guorong to star, and even launched a public vote on the street for this, and Guorong was selected. As the number one male.

It was precisely because of Chen Jiashang's action that the top management of Shaw Brothers decided to use Guorong to "win once".

Guorong still remembers this incident, so when Lu Ping'an talked about Chen Jiashang, Guorong said many good things.

Coincidentally, Chen Jiashang has encountered some setbacks in his career.

Lu Ping'an felt that things might be easier to handle now.

So after taking the scene, Lu Pingping went straight to the appointed hotel.

It was still half an hour before the agreed time, but Chen Jiashang was already waiting at the hotel table.

There was nothing he could do. Who asked him to make an appointment with Lu Pingping?

Chen Jiashang attaches great importance to this.

At present, his career is in trouble.

Not long ago in September, the movie "A1-Headlines" that he wrote and directed had just been released.

Huang Weisheng, Guan Xi, Li Xinjie and others co-starred.

As a result, the box office was only 2.7 million Hong Kong dollars!

Big pout.

Chen Jiashang is a well-known director, and many of his films have been well-received.

For example, Lian Jie's "Fist of Heroes" and "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard", Zhou Xingxing's "Fighting Back to School", "Martial Champion Su Qier", etc.

The blood is thick.

Durable.

It’s just a small movie that hit the street. It’s not a big deal.

It's not like he hasn't made saves in his past career.

Not a big problem.

But there is a premise.

The premise is that the Hong Kong film market is booming.

In the past, Hong Kong movies were at their peak.

If you pounce once, you will soon have a new opportunity, and then you can quickly turn around.

But it's different now.

Xiangjiang's film and television industry has shrunk visibly.

Xiangjiang movie pills.

I, Chen Jia, 80% also take pills!

As a result, at this moment, Chen Jiashang, who was depressed after experiencing a career slump, actually received an olive branch from the mainland!

Mainland.

Although there are still many filmmakers in Hong Kong who look down on the mainland.

But Chen Jiashang is definitely not.

Since 2002, all box office champions in the Mainland have exceeded 100 million.

With such a large and growing market, who wouldn’t be greedy?

But just like mainland actors who want to enter the Hong Kong scene, it is actually difficult for Hong Kong filmmakers to enter the mainland.

It’s easy to get in, but it’s difficult to get in steadily, have reliable channels, and develop stably.

Fortunately, now there is such an extremely reliable opportunity in front of us.

That is the olive branch thrown by Lu Pingping!

Everyone in Hong Kong’s film industry knows who Lu Ping’an is.

According to previous statistics from Hong Kong media, Lu Pingan’s global box office total exceeded 4 billion Hong Kong dollars!

Currently the record holder for the highest box office in Mainland China.

The most promising film talent in the Mainland!

As a director, he is admired by actors and ordinary movie fans.

As a producer, he is also someone Hong Kong filmmakers fear.

Now he has a new identity, that of the employer.

Have money, distribution channels, technology, strong capabilities, and a solid background.

This is just great.

Lu Ping'an is the father!

"Director Lu, what's going on today?"

After the greetings, Chen Jiashang took a steady sip of wine. With many years of experience behind him, even though he was full of expectations, this scene was still stable.

Lu Ping'an smiled and said: "Guorong talked about you before and said that you have been having some difficulties recently. If there is an opportunity, I can work with you. It just so happens that I also like Director Chen's movies of yours. I have watched them since I was a child, so I decided to I’m here in Xiangjiang for business today, so I’ll take the opportunity to chat with you.”

After hearing this, Chen Jiashang thought that it was no wonder that Lu Ping'an came to him for no reason. It turned out to be because of Guorong.

Immediately, his mind was in a trance.

"Guorong didn't tell me."

Of course he didn't say it, and he couldn't say it.

Because I operated this book.

Lu Ping'an smiled inwardly, with a surprised expression, and then sighed: "Well, Guorong is really good as a friend."

"Yes, these are true friends."

Chen Jia Shang took a sip of wine, his face was full of emotions, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lu Pingan took the opportunity to get to the point: "Director Chen, if you are interested in Liaozhai Painting, we can cooperate in the future."

With that said, Lu Pingan spread his hands: "You come up with the script, money is not an issue."

The actual script of the movie "Painted Skin" came from Chen Jiashang's team.

Since Lu Ping'an has decided not to adapt "Painted Skin", he cannot be called a screenwriter.

So I simply used Guorong's name to extend an olive branch.

In this way, Guorong got a favor for free, could handle the project himself, and earn money to support others.

Even if he gets scolded then, it will be him, Chen Jiashang, who gets scolded.

I believe that no matter how stupid Chen Jiashang is, he will not stab the financial owner in the back.

In addition, if the movie is successful, Chen Jiashang can also become a stable partner.

This person later made many high-profit movies in the Mainland.

"Painted Skin", "Painted Wall", "Four Famous Shop Series", etc.

From a business perspective, it's a good partner.

So this time, it’s a win-win situation.

"No problem, Director Lu!"

Chen Jiashang was very happy and raised his glass in toast.

He knew that if his career wanted to enter its second spring and successfully enter the mainland market, Ping An would be the most reliable choice.

Thank you Guorong!

Thanks for the guide!

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Things are settled for now.

Lu Pingan gave him half a year to polish the script.

Chen Jiashang said that he had already had ideas about this subject.

This time it's even better.

The only uncertain point is what to do if the final script is different from the original version.

This is also simple. You can create an anonymous script and then guide it.

After drinking, someone sent Chen Jiashang, who was drunk, back to the hotel. Lu Pingan called Guorong.

You still have to say something before using Guorong's friendship to do things.

After hearing this, Guorong laughed and said that Lu Ping'an was a bit bad, and then hung up the phone after meeting with Bashu.

He was still in class, physical education, but he couldn't be on the phone for too long.

Once the matter is settled, Lu Ping'an's affairs in Xiangjiang are over. The next stop is Wanwan.
