China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

"Thank you everyone!"

“Thank you for your hard work, guide!”×N

"Brother Ping An, you have worked hard too!"

"The heart is not bitter, but the heart is tired."

"Is it because I have too many NGs?"

"yes."

"...I'm sorry, I will try my best in the future."

"Then I wish you will become a real movie queen in the future."

"Thank you, Brother Ping An!"

On the evening of March 28, the crew of "Time and Space Crime" held a closing banquet at a large restaurant.

News of the completion was notified to reporters in advance, and only then did the reporters learn that Lu Ping'an had disappeared for more than ten days and had actually finished filming another movie.

Therefore, after Lu Ping'an has established titles such as "Best-Selling Director", "Genius Director" and "Genius Screenwriter" with two consecutive blockbuster movies, today he was named another "Prolific Director".

To use the evaluation of Lu Ping An by some people in the industry: this young man! Needless to say, there has never been such a director in China.

The next day, the news of "Time and Space Crime" appeared in the newspapers.

The creators got a lot of exposure.

Qi Ke was very popular because of the rubber band image in last year's "Who Says I Don't Care". This time he collaborated with Lu Ping An, so everyone is looking forward to the movie even more.

The completion of the new movie has also made many investors a little anxious.

Didn’t you say that we’ll talk about a new movie after “Comet” is finished?

We were still waiting for you, and you actually finished filming? !

Isn’t this playing tricks on us? !

Fortunately, they soon received a reply from Lu Ping'an: They were still waiting to discuss the new movie after "Comet" was finished.

Now everyone knows that Lu Pingan has more than one movie plan.

One after another, it’s like a high-yielding racing sow!

Everyone sighed after putting down the phone, and then prepared funds and resources.

After filming "Time and Space Crime", Lu Ping'an returned home and sorted out all the expenses for this movie.

Finally, the company's financial accounts are settled.

800,000 sponsorship fees, no copyright sharing, just pure profit.

There is no money for venue fees, and there is no money for some of the buildings required for filming. Even for meals, boss Chen is always waiting for him with big fish and meat, so the total production cost is only 480,000.

And among the 480,000, two cars accounted for the majority.

There is a car crash scene in the film. Two cars cost 320,000. One of them had its front bumper and sheet metal repaired, which did not affect its use at all.

The other car was a bit worse. The front face was severely damaged. It could be driven, but it was risky.

Fortunately, both cars can be used again. The good one can be used as the company's official car, and the bad one can be used as a prop car next time, loaded with explosives, and can create a big scene.

So so far, "Time and Space Crime" has taken 9 days to shoot. Lu Ping'an got a movie and made a lot of money.

Being a director is so fun!

April 1st.

The celebration party for "The Night the Comet Came" was held in a hotel in Beijing.

Huang Lei, Zhou Gongzi and other main creators were present, and many reporters also came.

"Comet" has been released for one month, and the box office has exceeded 20 million, reaching 22.5 million.

In the later period, piracy was rampant and the target of 25 million was not reached.

But 22.5 million is already very good, how much is the total cost?

Lu Ping'an did the math and found that this time he could receive a total of 4.2 million box office split + 500,000 director's remuneration + 150,000 special effects fees.

After deducting his share of costs, the rounded profit is 3.5 million.

Including foreign income, the total is about 8 million.

I paid 350,000 and gained 8 million, which is not bad.

It's a pity that the box office share will not be settled until three months later. This is the result of China Film's efforts.

Lu Ping'an felt that it was almost time to mention his plan to get involved in the theater chain.

Don't be too hasty, you can always buy some shares in a few years.

At the celebration banquet, Lu Pingan gave everyone big red envelopes.

They really tried their best when promoting it. Although they also made a lot of gains from the movie, things always come down to the same standard, and Safety on the Road will never be compromised at this point.

During the dinner, Huang Lei and the others also asked Lu Pingan about his next movie.

Lu Ping'an told the truth: "I have an idea, but I haven't decided yet."

Mr. Zhou asked: "Is there any chance for me?"

Lu Pingan still told the truth: "Unless it is a role with specific needs, I hope that the actors I have worked with can cool down for a period of time. This is to maintain the difference and freshness of the work. I hope everyone understands, but don't worry, I am now a game player after all." The sow is gone, maybe she will come looking for you again in a few months."

Everyone laughed.

After the celebration banquet, the domestic journey of "Comet" was basically over.

The journey abroad has just begun.

According to the news from Hu Qingquan, "Comet" has been released in Germany for two weeks. The box office converted from moviegoers is about 2 million, and it is expected to reach 4 million euros in the end.

This result may not seem very good, but it is actually very good among Chinese films.

In addition, Germany’s ticket market is not large, and movies with more than 40 million euros can be included in the rankings.

So that's a good result.

But nothing can be compared.

You must know that the local film studio in Germany only spent 30,000 euros to buy out the distribution rights of "Comet"!

Lu Pingan raised his head, not wanting to let tears fall.

He decided that he must find his place next time!

. . . . . .

The day after the celebration party, the media reported on "Comet" again.

One million cost and 20 million box office.

Lu Ping'an makes his peers jealous, investors jealous, movie fans worship him, and actresses eager to make a move. . .

On the same day, news came from Peak North America that the American version of "The Tuner" will be released at the end of April.

Lu Pingan once again hopes that they can get good results.

Arriving at the company, Wu Guohua took the documents and began to report on the recent situation.

After the Berlin trip and the experience of the "Time and Space Crime" project, Wu Guohua has matured a lot, and he is already an elite in doing things.

"Mr. Lu, currently the company has received cooperation invitations from a total of 19 investors, 21 advertisers, 13 brokerage companies, and 9 theater distributors..."

Wu Guohua reported the data one by one.

Lu Ping'an knew that this was just for finding the company.

There were many direct calls to his phone number.

Huayi, Guangguang and others who have his phone number have already talked with him.

It can be said that Lu Ping An is currently very popular.

There are many reasons, the first of which is the title of "Best-selling Director".

With a different style from other directors, the quality of the film is extremely high, and the box office appeal is the strongest among the younger generation of mainland directors.

This is the first driving force for investors of all types to enter the market.

Furthermore, Lu Ping'an's advantage over Feng Dapao in China is that Feng Dapao's movies currently only show that they are popular in the north, but not in the south.

Lu Ping An is a balance between the north and the south, or even a balance between the east and the west.

After all, we are collecting foreign movies.

Both films did well at the overseas box office.

This shows that Lu Ping An’s movies can go global.

Therefore, in the eyes of domestic investors, his investment value will indeed be much higher.

In addition, the emergence of the blockbuster "Heroes" has activated market expectations to a certain extent.

There are also signs of approval from theater chains, and some well-informed people already know that it will be approved soon.

Domestic blockbusters are also on the horizon. Domestic movies are about to rise, the domestic market is about to be activated, and the fight against Hollywood seems to be just around the corner.

As a result, the current market is like a lake that looks calm, but is actually already boiling to the critical point.

Countless people want to get a piece of the pie.

Entertainment companies, brokerage companies, investment companies, theater operators, publishers, advertisers. . .

Everyone is staring at this blue ocean of movies that seems to be about to expand.

Looking for a breakthrough in everything.

And "Hero" has been produced, there is no chance.

Although director Chen Da has already let the news out, saying that he has plans for a new film, it won't be a blockbuster.

Feng Dapao has no movie plans this year. He is cooperating with Time Warner in the United States to make the TV series "Guanzhong Swordsman".

There are many co-production projects between Hong Kong and Taiwan directors, and many co-productions will enter the mainland this year, such as "The Roar of the East" and "The Unrivaled", which has been released and has grossed more than 40 million at the box office.

But that circle is the hardest to squeeze into.

At this time, Lu Ping'an, a new blockbuster director with a well-established reputation, will naturally become the most anticipated.

In a word, everyone is looking forward to a big wave from Lu Ping An.

And for Lu Ping'an, it's time to take out the special effects of growing hair and put them to good use!

Thanks to book friend "1660561898621050880" for the tip, thank you! ! ! !
