China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

After landing in this beautiful country, Hu Qingquan picked me up at the airport.

Hu Qingquan, who hadn't seen him for several months, saw a few white hairs on his temples.

"Thank you for your hard work, Old Hu."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Hu Qingquan helped Lu Ping'an carry his luggage, but Lu Ping'an refused, "I'll do it myself. You are a great hero, so I can't trouble you."

Hu Qingquan smiled and said nothing.

After getting in the car, Hu Qingquan began to talk about what he had gained during this period.

One word: smooth.

"There is probably no problem with the Golden Globe Awards. This award is similar to the three major European awards. It is relatively independent, but the gold content is just that. What is important is the next Oscar. The 21st is the deadline for nomination voting. You have to do it these days. So ready."

"Understood, picking up customers and deceiving people, it's still the same thing."

"How can it be called cheating? Our film is the most qualified. Let me tell you, Ping An, this is completely different from a short film. You have to be serious. There are women in nightclubs and bars, so be careful."

"Am I that kind of person?"

"You're not, but if you don't protect everything, someone will tempt you."

"Don't worry, I'll follow you every step of the way these days. Is that okay?"

Lu Pingan had already experienced all kinds of dirty things involving Oscar public relations in 2003.

Therefore, Lu Ping'an strongly agrees with Hu Qingquan's suggestion.

During this period, you must keep yourself clean, be strict with yourself, leave no excuses to others, and respond to emergencies at any time.

Then the car arrived at the hotel.

After putting down the luggage in the suite, someone from Versace arrived.

"Lu, you haven't gained weight during this time, have you?"

"Patino, what you should be worried about is whether I will be satisfied with your work."

"Oh Lu, you will definitely be satisfied!"

Although the designer Patino from Versace is Mediterranean, he is very elegant and confident, and then he came up with two sets of dresses.

Versace's custom-made dresses started after she won the Golden Lion Award.

Because "Brokeback Mountain" involves the upcoming Golden Globes and Oscars.

Lu Ping An is very likely to win the first major Oscar for feature films in China.

It's natural to be more particular about being on stage.

For example, the clothes you wear when receiving an award.

The first reaction of the people in the team was to do something Chinese-style.

The endorsement brand Versace is also very active, directly photographing Patino, who is said to be the chief designer.

After Patino found out that he was custom-making a dress for the director of "Brokeback Mountain", he came directly to China to tailor it to Lu Ping'an.

After several months, I finally took out two sets of dresses today.

Lu Ping'an took a look and found that everything was pretty good, and all his suggestions were fully adopted.

The first suit is a suit with a Chinese-style collar, which looks a bit like the Chinese team’s Olympic medal-winning suit.

It's just that one is a sportswear, mainly white, and the other is a formal dress, mainly black.

This idea was naturally proposed by Lu Ping'an.

He really likes Anta's white Olympic medal-winning uniform. If he borrows it this time, he might be able to get the title of "little expert in fashion design".

The other set is also good, a black dress with a big collar, the collar has a Chinese-style dark pattern of auspicious clouds, and the matching tie is red, also with auspicious clouds.

Among them, Xiangyundi was recruited this time to cope with the Olympic campaign.

Last month, in December 2005, the country announced that it would begin soliciting proposals for the Olympic torch.

The Star Team is on the invitation list.

It’s okay if I don’t send an invitation, but if I do, can I still let you run away?

Anyway, it’s a collection, so I might as well collect a complete set.

Lu Ping'an directly threw out the original Xiangyun Torch.

In this way, Xiangyun's scroll-style torch is also matched with the paper-roll-style Bird's Nest main torch.

The main torch of the Bird's Nest is also part of the Star Team's Olympic campaign plan.

This is called family design.

It better reflects the design unity of the Xingchen team.

Who dares to say that it is pieced together?

In this way, whoever comes up with a plan from Lenovo in the future will not be able to defeat Lu Ping An.

As soon as the auspicious cloud pattern came out, everyone in Xingchen's Olympic team quickly fell in love with it.

Then everyone worked hard to design and shape the torch and main torch.

If we really win the bid for the torch, everyone will be so excited that they explode.

Including this dress design, everyone strongly agreed with Lu Ping An’s use of it.

The dark lines are not very obvious unless you get close.

So if you take pictures carefully, you will find this little hidden easter egg.

Very satisfied with this safe road.

Low-key, luxurious and connotative.

"Patino, I'm very satisfied!"

After Lu Ping An tried it on, it looked quite elegant with Lu Ping An's figure and appearance.

The first set with matching collar will be worn at the Golden Globe Awards.

Those with auspicious cloud patterns will be worn at the Oscars.

The overall combination of auspicious cloud patterns looks a little more festive than the first set, and it also fits the scene better at that time.

Because the pattern is still Western-style, it will not be particularly abrupt. At the same time, the Chinese-style auspicious cloud dark patterns paired with the auspicious cloud Chinese red bow tie can also bring out the details.

Hu Qingquan also looked left and right, up and down, and then he was very satisfied: "Not bad, not bad, 300,000 US dollars was not wasted!"

"Lao Hu, yours is ready, too. Come wear it and take a look."

"I didn't let you do it."

"Why."

"I wear a Tang suit."

"Okay, Tang suit is not bad either. The older you get, the more flavorful it becomes."

As the two chatted, the dress was finished.

Later, Lu Pingan wore a formal dress and took several sets of photos in the hotel's temporary studio for Versace's promotional purposes.

After the busy work is done, various business dinners will follow.

Just like in 2003, there are only a few days before the Oscar nomination voting deadline, and Lu Pingan, the main director, is about to make his appearance.

And "Brokeback Mountain" is currently extremely well-known.

More than a month after its release, the North American box office has reached 85 million.

If this trend continues, if the film wins another Oscar, the movie can return to theaters again and still generate some box office revenue.

I don’t know how much the box office it will achieve in the end, but there is no doubt that it will surpass the original version.

The current high box office and high popularity also make the public relations work smoother than other films.

Of course, there are still opponents, such as another big hit, George Clooney's "Good Night, and Good Luck" is also gaining momentum.

This film lost to "Brokeback Mountain" at the Golden Lion Awards in September, and this time the film didn't want to lose again.

But Lu Pingan knew that in the "Best Picture" award, the winner of the original time and space was not "Brokeback Mountain" or "Good Night and Good Luck", but was unexpectedly won by "Crash".

In this regard, Lu Ping An is actually worried about more upsets.

For example, will the subtle differences between Lu Ping'an's Chinese identity and Li An's green card holder have any impact?

Shaking his head, Lu Pingan quickly calmed down.

He had anticipated this before and made relevant mental preparations.

The current period is still the honeymoon period between China and the United States, and it is also the easiest time for Chinese people to win Oscars.

If you can't get the original movie at this time, it only means that you have encountered something that you have absolutely no control over.

Since you can't control it at all, there's nothing to be frustrated about.

So the next step is to do good public relations, gain or lose my life, everything is bearish! (End of chapter)
