China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

The first day of shooting went very smoothly.

Lu Pingan overcame some difficulties in professional terminology, coupled with repeated attempts at simulated pre-shooting, he directly convinced everyone and earned a resounding nickname.

Overall, Lu Ping An is quite satisfied.

He feels that if the current efficiency continues, the estimated 25-day shooting period may be as fast as the original 18-day shooting period, or even faster.

After the first day of filming, Lu Ping An made the finishing touches and sent Yu Feihong home first as usual.

Only this time he asked on the way: "Does Sister Yu's house have any extra beds?"

Yu Feihong realized something, but still asked: "Is anyone coming?"

"No, Teacher Hu is on a business trip. I'm afraid of living alone."

"Are you still afraid?"

Yu Feihong said this with a smile, and his attitude was already obvious.

"Help me, this place in the United States is not safe at night. Let's work together. I can take care of you if anything happens, right? I'll pay for the meal tonight at the worst!"

"You are indeed a bad person!"

"Conscience of heaven and earth, I have never even killed a chicken since I was a child."

Lu Pingan swore with three fingers, with a sincere look on his face, and Yu Feihong smiled again.

After laughing, she stretched out her hand and said, "Then show me the rest of the script."

"okay!"

Then Lu Pingping asked David to turn back and go home.

When he arrived at his residence, Lu Ping'an took the luggage he had prepared and came out.

This was obviously prepared long ago.

The corners of Yu Feihong's mouth curled up, and his heart was beating fast.

When they arrived at Yu Feihong's house, Yu Feihong took the initiative to help make the bed.

The two cooperated very well.

It's a pity that it's not Yu Feihong's own bed.

After the paving was completed, Lu Pingping asked: "What are you going to eat today?"

"It's still steak. How rare do you want it?"

"I want it fully cooked, clean and hygienic."

"Okay, then medium rare!"

"Okay, okay, who asked me to live under someone else's roof? It's up to you, Feihong."

Lu Ping'an changed his title. Yu Feihong might not have noticed, or he might have noticed and pretended not to hear, so he just accepted it.

Arriving in the kitchen, Yu Feihong started cooking as usual.

It’s still steak + pasta, delicious, cheap, and nutritious.

While eating, Lu Pingan was summarizing today's set, and Yu Feihong also followed suit. It looked very formal, but the suspender dress he wore always distracted Lu Pingan.

As they talked, the two of them began to play a game of overlapping each other under the table. However, when there were no outsiders, the two of them remained serious and childish.

After the meal was finished, Yu Feihong went into the kitchen to wash the dishes. Lu Ping'an walked up behind her, hugged her from behind, and sighed in her ear: "Today's food is good, delicious!"

Yu Feihong turned around and kissed her.

The two people, who had been planning for a long time, finally pushed the game into the second half.

From the kitchen to upstairs, clothes and pants were scattered all over the floor.

Thirty years old is the age when you are like a wolf and a tiger.

And twenty-year-old Lu Pingan is even more of a fierce tiger.

After the clouds clear up and the rain stops.

Yu Feihong's cheeks were flushed, his hair was messy, and his eyes gradually came out of confusion: "Bad man! How long have you been planning?"

"It started at the first sight, okay?"

Lu Pingan hugged her and asked with a smile, "Aren't you the same? You've been staring at me for a long time, right?"

"Who wants to stare at you!"

"Really, how do you explain the little umbrella? Please tell me honestly, when did you plan it?"

"A second look, okay?"

"Be tough!"

"I'm just tough-talking!"

Yu Feihong grabbed Lu Ping'an's hand and bit it.

"It hurts, please find another place."

After the clouds and rain subsided again, Yu Feihong listened to Lu Pingan's strong heartbeat, stroked Lu Pingan's face and sighed: "Little man, it would be great if you were 30 years old now."

"You won't have such an impact at 30."

"Bad talker, you know what I'm talking about."

"I know."

Lu Pingping nodded.

In the entertainment industry, the 20-year-old him and the 31-year-old her can't talk about the future.

Lu Pingan didn't want to talk about the future. Yu Feihong knew very well that he was young and how could he keep his mind steady. Even if Lu Pingan guaranteed the future now, it would be okay to deceive the little girl with such words. Naturally, she didn't believe it. They were all people who had been there before.

So that's fine for now.

Lu Ping'an said to Yu Feihong: "Let's go watch the sunset after we finish filming. I've been on the West Coast for so long and I haven't seen it properly yet."

Yu Feihong nodded: "Okay, the beach is not far away. You can get there soon. The sunset on the west coast is very beautiful. I haven't seen it for a long time."

That night, Yu Feihong didn't see the second part of the script of "I Love You" because he didn't have time.

Early the next morning, the two started exercising, took a shower, and cooked together.

After eating, David also arrived and got in the car. Regardless of David's eyes, they still stayed together.

David was very sensible and gave Lu Ping'an an "admiration + encouragement" look, and then drove his car intently.

When they arrived at the set, the two people, who were inseparable, separated.

Then came the second day of shooting, which was still professional and efficient.

When the work was over in the afternoon, the two of them returned to how they were in the morning, with no sight of the driver David at all.

The regular days continued like this.

On July 10, news came from Hu Qingquan in the evening.

These days, he has visited five direct Oscar film festivals in one go, sent films to all of them, traveled all over North America, and met many people.

The current head of the public relations team, Dale, is very capable. Every time he registers for a film festival, he can organize a qualified salon, which includes media and well-known people in the industry. This makes "Memories" quickly become famous.

Of course, Hu Qingquan also said that this does not mean that Dell is really capable. It can only be said that Dell is the most reliable member of the public relations team, and he does not treat you like a fat sheep just by talking in plain words.

Whether you really have the ability or not depends on when you encounter a possible public relations crisis later, as well as the public relations battle before the shortlisting and final voting. After all, it is then that you can maximize your connections, otherwise you will not be able to find anyone if you want to. .

After hearing this, Lu Ping'an expressed his understanding and asked him if he had enough money.

Hu Qingquan replied with a smile: "Now is not the time to spend money. The only things that cost a lot are travel expenses and salon venue fees. It doesn't cost much at all, so don't worry."

"Then please pay attention to your safety. By the way, when will you come back?"

"It's August."

"That's alright. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Pay attention to your safety."

"good"

The real money spent on the short film will be after November. The production cost of "Saw" is now about 10% less than expected. Overall, the money is completely sufficient.

The financial pressure is less than expected, so Lu Pingping feels relieved.

At this time, Yu Feihong asked: "The movie will be finished in a few days. Will you still watch it in the later stages?"

"Of course, I have to complete it with quality and quantity."

"How long will the later stage take?"

"I guess it won't take too long. I've already got a plan in my mind. When you see it, you'll know that I can actually do it very quickly."

"Don't be too proud!"

"Looks like you're still not convinced, come again!"

"No more umbrellas!"

"I bought it"

Three days later, on July 13th, at the Summit studio.

Remembered with a "click".

"Saw" has completed its last shot and is completely finished.

A total of 15 days, three days less than the original, does not seem to have improved much. In fact, Lu Ping An knows that this is already not easy.

After all, manpower is sometimes scarce and he can have unlimited energy, but the actors and staff cannot.

He can't ask for overtime work like he does in China, otherwise the union might come looking for him.

So the overall time was shortened by three days compared to the original version, and he was already very satisfied.

[Congratulations on finishing "Saw 1", the restoration degree is 97%, and the rewards have been distributed]

[Reward for "Chainsaw 1": 8 years of physical special effects production skills from Hollywood's top special effects artist]

[Since "Chain Saw" is a series, no rewards will be issued for subsequent series works]

safe trip:"..."

There is good and there is bad.

This series is really disappointing.

But that’s okay. After that, the copyright of this IP is in your hands, and the director can just hand it over to James Wan and the others.

Let’s look at the rewards.

Physical special effects production skills, this is actually very useful!

There are two ways to achieve special effects: digital special effects and physical special effects.

One is CG special effects, which can be achieved by "X" software.

The other is physical special effects, which are those touchable and real special effects parts. They often require some special techniques and materials to complete. Their types include but are not limited to special effects makeup, special props, mechanical bionics, miniature landscapes, etc. Disaster devices, mechanical platforms, etc.

To put it bluntly, it is a "handicraft". If done well, it can greatly increase the effect and save money.

For example, in "Source Code" this time, trains and cities can be replaced by physical special effects. With Lu Ping An's current technology, the fake ones can be confused with the real ones, and then combined with "X", it will be even more perfect.

Even if "X" is not used, with this technology, ordinary special effects movies, combined with current digital special effects technology, can be better than others.

not bad!

After accepting the reward, Lu Pingping celebrated with everyone.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone, it's finished!"

"Good job, Lu, I hope we can cooperate next time!"

"Rattletail, no, lu, it was a pleasure working with you!"

"Lu, I hope it will be a hit at the box office."

Everyone cheered, relieved of the tense nerves they had felt for half a month.

Then everyone agreed to meet for a banquet in the evening.

Hollywood also has a wedding banquet, which is a party.

That night, the crew had fun together at a hotel owned by Wattsberg.

During this period, the driver David cried bitterly after drinking, and said: "I have been in Hollywood for 6 years. This is the first time I have played a leading role, and it is also the first time I have attended a closing party. Thank you, boss!"

"Then I hope you will work harder in the future and strive to become a big star!"

"I will!"

David gave Lu Pingan a hug, then turned around and went to drink with another actress.

The black actor Danny Glover is more gentle and gentle. He also went out of his way to say thank you to Lu Pingan, but there was some encouragement in his words: "Lu, I believe you will become a great director in the future, and I hope to see your masterpieces as soon as possible." .”

"Thank you Danny, I think it won't be long. It will be when this movie comes out."

"Haha, that's great. I've been looking forward to the feeling of becoming famous for a long time."

"You will."

The two held cups to pay tribute to this simple friendship.

At 11 o'clock, Lu Ping'an and Yu Feihong checked into the hotel. That night, there was another night of fighting, as if they were racing against time to let go.

The result of the intertwining of sensibility and rationality is either to become entangled, or to drop everything for a short and violent collision, and then go their separate ways.

The current situation falls into the latter category.

The two of them knew it in their hearts, so they released it completely when they were together. After the movie is over, the relationship will be paused or shut down.

It's just that time went by a little faster
