China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

The "Chainsaw" matter was settled, and I returned to New York safely the next day, preparing to transfer back to China.

David didn't come to see her off this time. He slept soundly on the woman's belly.

On the 29th, Lu Ping'an landed in Beijing, and the first thing he did was to return to the company.

The company will hold its annual meeting today. Before that, Lu Ping An needs to confirm the income of "Source".

Soon I arrived at the company, and after checking with Wu Guohua, the data came out.

"Source" accounts, various copyright income, and advertising sponsorship totaled 39.9 million US dollars.

There is also a 15% deduction for the overseas account split, which belongs to the other two producers.

North American video copyrights will also be deducted by half to other producers.

This is in the contract. The division of accounts is different from the copyright of the video disc. It must be given to them. Lu Ping An will not lose his character in this trivial matter.

In the end, Star Film and Television will receive: US$20.48 million in overseas accounts, US$2.8 million in copyright income, 42 million yuan in mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan accounts, and 16 million yuan in all advertising sponsorships.

In this wave, a total of 240 million yuan was obtained before tax.

This does not include the 20 million spent on special effects.

Total expenditure: 6 million.

All the income from the split account did not arrive so quickly, and half of the tax would be deducted when it arrived. The half of the income that Wattsberg gave first was not returned to China. Instead, Xiang Guoqing directly threw it into the stock market, leaving hundreds of dollars behind. Ten thousand US dollars to supplement domestic expenses.

So in total, Lu Ping'an doesn't have much money at his disposal now, only about 15 million.

But it's enough to make people happy.

Han Sanpin knew that he could get more than two million yuan for splitting the accounts and the video copyright, and the first 50% was received today. He laughed until he coughed on the phone.

Huayi and other producers were very happy when they found out that Lu Ping An had directly paid the North American video copyright fees. They made an appointment with Lu Ping An for dinner and continued to discuss projects.

They regretted not splitting the accounts, and they will definitely continue to do so next time.

It's just that Lu Ping'an will not give it so easily when the time comes, and at least the replacement resources must be doubled! .

After settling the accounts, Lu Pingan called his team in Bashu.

The Bashu team was established a year ago, and Xiang Guoqiang is in charge. Lu Ping'an hasn't been there yet, and plans to go there after the year.

Less than half of the Bashu team has not returned home. Everyone is working hard to familiarize themselves with the software and prepare to start officially producing Venice short films next year.

Lu Ping An continues to pay wages and provides various subsidies, and the small team has stabilized.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so it's hard to get through safely, but all kinds of New Year's goods are already in place.

Then the company held its annual meeting.

Lu Ping An paid everyone 5 months' salary, and spent an additional 100,000 to buy new year's goods, air tickets, etc., including a latest Bird mobile phone for each person. This is free, it is a gift from Bird, and everyone will be able to survive this time when they go back. It’s been a fat year.

The annual meeting was very lively. After going through "Source", everyone learned a lot, and the cohesion was unprecedentedly strong. It will be much smoother to do big projects in the future.

The day after the annual meeting, Lu Ping'an attended the annual meeting of the fried chicken restaurant, which Xiao Li mentioned in the middle of the year.

There are now seven fried chicken restaurants in Lupingan, with four names in total, which is a bit confusing, but the staff are all in the same organization.

Everyone gathered in the hotel and saw the great director Lu Pingan. They were all excited. Of course, the most excited person was when they were talking to the superstar Guorong brought over by Lu Pingan.

Guorong's movie was a big hit this year, he is a superstar himself, and he has never been to the Spring Festival Gala. The director team of this year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala took the opportunity to send him an invitation.

Guorong is also very happy. He is in good mental condition now.

Guorong's Spring Festival Gala program is now basically set, and there is basically no chance that it will be canceled on New Year's Eve.

Guorong said that the program is confidential and he will know when the time comes.

However, the specific time for the appearance has not yet been decided. The fifth and sixth round rehearsals are being carried out these days.

This is also the reason why he came here to join in the fun today. Rehearsal is boring and there is nowhere to go to play around. He might as well go to Lu Ping'an's small business to have a look.

Having the superstar rehearse so many times, it seems that the show is not just a simple solo performance, but also has to have a bunch of backup dancers.

Guorong is in good condition now. Agent Chen Shufen said that he still has painful symptoms occasionally, but they have not worsened much over the past year, which is good news.

We had dinner with more than 30 employees. Lu Ping An gave everyone a salary increase for the coming year, and each employee was given three months' salary as a bonus. There were also a bunch of prizes, and air tickets were included for outstanding employees. The rest of the trains Tickets will be reimbursed, social security will be paid in the coming year, the dormitory will be upgraded, and water, electricity, and gas will be taken care of.

The slogan is: "Hey, I'm tired of logging!"

Such high benefits cannot be seen in other places, and everyone is very happy.

Of course, if you want to keep a stable job, you have to abide by many rules. Various health inspections, trainings, customer satisfaction assessments, and the most important confidentiality principles are not found elsewhere.

Fortunately, these are all trivial matters when it comes to logging.

The annual meeting ended successfully, and Lu Pingping sent Guorong back to the hotel.

The two agreed to part ways after going to Bashu in a few days.

When I got home, I talked on the phone with Yan Danchen, and chatted with Dong Xuan via text messages for a while, before Lu Ping An fell asleep.

The next day, New Year's Eve, at two o'clock in the afternoon, all my friends came.

"Peace, come and get the food!"

Zhang Songwen came in carrying several large bags of ingredients.

"elder brother!"

Baoqiang followed him in with a box of wine and greeted Lu Ping'an when he saw him.

He has big white teeth and a silly smile.

Lu Ping'an and this guy had a good relationship during the "Source Code" roadshow. Now Baoqiang has become accustomed to calling him brother, and he truly recognizes him as brother.

During the golden rooster period, Li Yang and Lu Ping'an, who had met before, talked about making a new movie.

When asked, it was indeed "The Blind Shaft", and Lu Pingan simply introduced Baoqiang.

When Li Yang saw Baoqiang, he was indeed the actor he was looking for, so Baoqiang embarked on the same path as in the original time and space.

Now that Bao Qiang has returned from filming "The Blind Shaft", he immediately finds Lu Ping'an.

Lu Ping'an smiled and asked, "Is it fun in the mine?"

"There's nothing fun in the mines, acting is the fun."

"Oh, I heard you were fucked by a woman?"

Baoqiang suddenly felt embarrassed, Lu Ping'an laughed, and Baoqiang said: "It's all an act."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed.

Then Monday came in: "Ping An, let me tell you some unfortunate news. The rearview mirror of the car was smashed by Awen."

I came in on Monday and told the bad news.

Lu Ping'an laughed: "Ping'an is broken! Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

This year Zhang Songwen won’t go home, neither will Zhou Yiwei, and this year’s new little brother Bao Qiang won’t go home either. In addition, Guorong is going to attend the Spring Festival Gala. He called early in the morning and said the show was at 9 o’clock, so Lu Ping’an simply invited He joined Lu Ping An's "wreath". Let's call it "Peace Circle".

So this year’s New Year’s Eve was many times more lively than in previous years.

Starting at 5 o'clock, several people started preparing New Year's Eve ingredients, making dumplings and wontons.

Zhang Songwen is the best cook among everyone, so he also has the heaviest work. It is definitely not because the rearview mirror was dried to pieces.

Baoqiang can also cook, but he is not good at it, but he is still good at killing chickens and fish.

Zhou Yiwei doesn't know anything, but he can do some food processing work under Zhang Songwen's instructions.

It's not easy to have a safe journey. It's also very tiring to bring out fruits and vegetables and clean the house.

I was busy until 7:30 pm.

The four of them sat down on the sofa, munched on melon seeds and began to wait for the Spring Festival Gala.

At 8 o'clock sharp, the Spring Festival Gala begins.

Some of the previous shows were not interesting.

Sing and dance to celebrate the new year.

At 9 o'clock, Guorong's program came on.

As a result, what I thought was a large-scale show turned out to be just one solo + a dozen backup dancers.

There are no panda elements as expected.

What he sang was also a relatively ordinary song called "Qian Qian Que Song".

Overall, it seems to be quite satisfactory. It just highlights the glory of the country and sings a nostalgic golden song.

So everyone quickly discussed that this was definitely not the program planned at the beginning.

Everyone discussed and drove to the studio building.

After picking up Guorong and others, as expected, Guorong said with regret: "Originally, I performed with more than 20 children, but the duration was a bit too long, and the theme was not consistent with the Year of the Sheep, so in the end I changed it to I performed a simple solo, and I also lip-synced. Oh, those kids cried so hard."

Everyone then blamed the directing team.

But everyone also knows that these things have no reason.

And now that Guorong is singing solo, the effect is actually very good.

At least Guorong attended the Spring Festival Gala for the first time and sang a familiar golden song. When the report comes out tomorrow, there will probably be a lot of praise.

Back in the courtyard, everyone starts cooking.

The New Year's Eve dinner begins.

Chicken, duck, fish, seafood, and hot pot fill a large table.

Everyone watched the Spring Festival Gala and spent the last day happily.

The New Year bell is ringing.

Firecrackers roared in the capital.

It’s Chinese New Year!
