017 Agreed, crew
Because "The Tuner" is only 14 minutes away, one appreciation class is enough to complete the viewing and appreciation analysis.
And Lu Ping'an and the main creators were on the show all afternoon.
After the performance department, the directing department, and then other majors.
During this period, there were also bold girls who asked Lu Ping'an: "Does Senior Brother Lu have a girlfriend?" ”
The audience laughed, and Lu Ping'an almost blushed.
I had four classes in one afternoon and said the same thing several times.
And after that, it is said that I will go to the Chinese opera to communicate, and I am afraid that I am busy these days.
At the same time, the six princesses have also begun to broadcast the "Tuner" short film on TV.
50,000 yuan was sold to the sixth princess for 6 years, and the copyright was facilitated by China Film.
One of the purposes is to see how the next short film reacts in the eyes of the audience.
China Film said that there will be preliminary results when the talks are held tomorrow.
At the end of the afternoon class, at 8 stores in the evening, the creators of "The Tuner" began to celebrate the banquet.
Lu Ping'an, who made a lot of money, was inappropriate to invite guests to a tavern, so he chose a hotel and opened a two-table box.
In addition to the original more than ten main creators, there are also several old classmates of Yan Danchen this time.
Xing Jiadong, Zu Feng and Chen Kun, who is about to become popular.
In February, during the opening of the Berlin Film Festival, Chen Kun's "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" was launched.
Not long after the broadcast started, Chen Kun was already popular, but he was not completely popular.
So this time is also the only free time he has.
After a few days, the popularity of the TV series will officially come up, and Chen Kun will be a luxury if he wants to be empty.
And the arrival of Chen Kun and others also made the creators very happy.
This is a senior, and a popular star, there is too much to talk about.
Of course, what is even happier is Lu Ping'an's red envelope.
Not much, two hundred per person, which also made everyone happy to fly again.
So the celebration banquet in the evening was very lively.
At 11 o'clock, everyone started the second KTV, and Chen Kun said that it was not appropriate for them to go, so they left each other and left first.
Yan Danchen also followed, saying that a few old classmates such as Xiaoyanzi and He Lin would also come over in a while, and a few classmates just got together.
Lu Ping'an didn't stop it, each has its own circle, it's better not to forcibly mix together.
After walking out of the hotel and separating the two groups of people, Chen Kun found an opportunity to interrogate Yan Danchen.
"Say, isn't it interesting to Lu Ping'an?"
At the dinner table, he could see some clues.
Lu Ping'an, a junior brother, and Yan Danchen are eyebrows, although they are very obscure, but this also proves that the relationship between the two is good, and there is a high probability of going that way.
Of course, Yan Danchen denied this: "He is so much younger than me, how is it possible?" ”
Chen Kun smiled evilly: "Do you need a reason to love someone?" ”
This is the line of "Journey to the West", which became popular in China last year, and until now a young person will drag a few sentences, and Chen Kun is no exception.
Yan Danchen was a little angry when he was said: "What's the matter, I'm just friends with him, I treat him as a younger brother." ”
"Look, I'm in a hurry!"
Chen Kun laughed, and then said seriously, "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, but don't forget to tell this old classmate when there is something good." ”
"Let's go, the reporter will be here in a moment."
Yan Danchen began to drive people away.
Chen Kun didn't say anything anymore, only leaving her a look that saw through everything.
In fact, he is not particularly interested in Yan Danchen's emotional problems.
But he is still interested in Lu Ping'an.
After all, Lu Ping'an is a genius director, and he is not bad, and he is likely to make "The Tuner" into a big movie and embark on the road of a formal film director.
Although Lu Ping'an also said just now that this matter is not certain, regardless of whether he can become a trend in the future, Chen Kun, who has just started his career, feels that his strategy of casting a wide net now must be correct, what if this junior can really take off?
But Yan Danchen didn't think about it so much, after she finished talking to Chen Kun, she secretly sent a text message to Lu Ping'an: "Drink less." ”
Lu Ping'an also quickly replied: "Okay, my queen! ”
She chuckled before realizing that she seemed to be a little too proactive today.
She touched her face, which was a little hot.
Well, it must be the strength of the wine...
。。。。。。
After Chen Kun and the others left, the creators continued to sing, tomorrow is Saturday, so it's okay to be late today.
Lu Ping'an simply opened an all-night private room.
It's good to be young, and singing all night is not a problem for everyone.
I really can't hold on, Lu Ping'an has already arranged a hotel room, in short, everyone will not have to worry about tonight.
Early the next morning, when Beiying started a new round of art examinations, Lu Ping'an came to Zhongying with the script and the legal staff introduced by Hu Qingquan and Uncle Liao.
Regarding the big movie of "The Tuner", he also told Hu Qingquan about the general idea of the script, and the two discussed it many times.
Hu Qingquan is engaged in academics, and he knows best what topics are more suitable in the current market.
He believes that according to the current reading volume of Chinese people, in fact, love and comedy themes are the most secure.
So at that time, he and Lu Ping'an reached a consensus that unless the short film "The Tuner" won the award, the big movie would be put back as much as possible, not in a hurry, and take your time.
But now it's different, "Tuner" won the Silver Bear Award, which is an east wind, and China Film also smelled this business opportunity because of this.
The genius director won the Silver Bear Award for the adaptation of the work, which is the basis of success.
Of course, whether it will really be filmed in the end depends on the next market reactions, such as the feedback from the six princesses.
And now, it's time for the answer to be revealed.
Soon, a few people entered Zhongying and met the person in charge Cui who had met in Berlin, and there was a figure that Lu Ping'an was very familiar with: Han Sanpin.
At this time, Han Sanpin was not the mountain carving, but his energy was already very large, and he was the vice chairman and deputy general manager of China Film.
Now in Lu Ping'an's script, whether to cast the film or not, how much to vote, and how much support he can have after investing, he can decide with one sentence.
After a brief introduction, let's get down to business.
The first person to speak was Han Sanpin.
"The feedback from CCTV came out, the audience's response to "The Tuner" was very good, at least 3 percent of people thought it was a trailer, and called to inquire when it would be released, and half of the remaining people felt that the short film was too short to watch, and most of the rest asked if they could play it a few more times, of course, there were also complaints, saying that it was a little scary and easy to scare people, but fortunately, there were not many such people, and there were only three a day yesterday."
The atmosphere of the meeting room was instantly relaxed.
The feedback from the Six Princesses is already evident, the short film is very popular, and the prospects for the big movie are expected to be very good.
So Han Sanpin said: "The next thing is to see how the script of Lu's big movie is, there is no problem on my side." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Han."
Lu Ping'an thanked him, and after the visit, he distributed the printed script of the movie "Tuner" to everyone.
Everyone includes Hu Qingquan, this is the first time I see what the story of a big movie will be.
And the results were not unexpected.
The script from the Indian version of "The Tuner" is not to mention how good it is.
At first glance, everyone only thought it was a simple short film extension.
But the more I look at the back, the more I feel that things are not so simple.
is also a pianist who pretends to be blind, and he also witnesses a murder, but the rest of the development is extremely interesting.
After the protagonist witnessed the celebrity homicide, he had to continue to pretend to be blind in order to save his life, and after getting out, he was struggling with whether to call the police, and after some careful consideration and uneasiness, he chose to call the police.
However, the man in white in the celebrity's house was actually the police chief, which aroused the suspicion of the police chief, and later the protagonist was exposed to the blind man's lies, and fell into the predicament of being chased and killed by the police chief and the celebrity's wife, and later escaped to the underground trading place of the black market, and his kidney was almost gouged out, and finally escaped successfully.
It's just that in the end, how does the protagonist escape, whether the protagonist is telling the truth or not, whether he is really blind or false, why can he accurately hit the can if he is really blind, what is the reason behind the fake blindness, what does the "rabbit" element that always appears, etc.
After reading the script for the first time, everyone couldn't think of the correct answer for a while.
But it does not affect everyone to unanimously make a very high affirmation of the script.
Hu Qingquan, as a teacher, first gave a praise: "Yes, in distress again and again, reversed again and again, the evil of human nature is jaw-dropping, it is a good script!" ”
Everyone was unanimous in agreement.
It's just that Han Sanpin said: "The script is good, but it still has to be changed, and the role of the police chief had better be adjusted." ”
The river crab god is here!
Lu Ping'an was a little helpless, but fortunately, he had been prepared for this.
"How about setting it in Southeast Asia?"
Han Sanpin nodded in affirmation: "This is a good idea, in this way, the ending will be no problem, but your shooting cost will have to go up." ”
Lu Ping'an then explained: "You don't need to shoot all the scenes, only use costumes and props to imply that this is a non-domestic environment, and the specific country will not be specified." ”
This is the concept of an alternate world, and later the domestic remake of India's "Manslaughter" is like this, Lu Ping'an borrowed it, and I think it can be passed.
Sure enough, the heads of Han Sanpin and China Film both expressed their affirmation.
And so it was settled.
The next step is to negotiate the distribution of benefits.
Han Sanpin said: "There are many indoor scenes, there are not many big scenes, if that rabbit uses special effects, it will be more expensive, I think 400 to 5 million is about the same." ”
The rest of the people also nodded one after another, and then finally confirmed that 4 million was set first.
Mr. Cui, the person in charge of China Film, asked: "Ping An, how much do you plan to invest?" ”
Lu Ping'an said directly: "I will give 2 million." ”
"Is this a stud?" Mr. Cui was surprised.
He knows how much money Lu Ping'an made this time, about more than 2.4 million yuan after tax, and this one-time 2 million yuan can indeed be regarded as stud.
However, this is also understandable, the script is good, the early feedback from the market is good, and there is no problem with copyright, and it can be sold in foreign markets when the time comes, which is indeed worth gambling.
So after discussing with several people in China Film, they confirmed: "Then we will pay the remaining 2 million, including the distribution, accounting for 60%, and the overrun part is still divided like this, we can pay first, how about it?"
Lu Ping'an's face was calm, this result was expected, the other party could solve the issuance problem, and it was normal to account for 10% more.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, but I have to be the director myself, the screenwriter and the director, I want a salary of 500,000 yuan." ”
The other party did not hesitate: "Yes, the director of the Silver Bear Award is worth this price." ”
"As for the actors, I have the final say."
"Who are you looking for?"
"The first choice is the original team."
"Yes, but it's better to have an audition."
Lu Ping'an understands this meaning, the distribution of benefits, and the same is true for actors.
He understands this, and it is impossible for him to arrange all his own people in one movie.
So it's good that the main characters can be grasped by themselves.
So he nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Things are going well.
Originally, Lu Ping'an thought that there would be several pulls in terms of salary, such as 500,000 to 30 or something, but he didn't expect that people would set it without hesitation.
Also, it's not their money.
What's more, Lu Ping'an has already proved his strength, and the prospects of the movie are good, so they will directly relent.
This made Lu Ping'an wonder if he was shouting low.
But the matter has been decided, and it is all in line with his heart, so Lu Ping'an will not think about it.
Next, the matter is finalized, Lu Ping'an needs to register the company as soon as possible, and the investment agreement must be signed in the name of the company or studio at that time.
After Lu Ping'an went back, Han Sanpin and Mr. Cui read the script again, and Han Sanpin sighed: "It's hard to imagine that this little guy is only a freshman." ”
"What, are you interested in cultivating?"
As soon as Mr. Cui looked at Han Sanpin, he knew what he was thinking.
These days, reform is being discussed, and the concept of "blockbuster" has also been put on the table, and whether commercial films will become the object of strong support in the future is still being discussed, but there is basically a direction.
If you want to make a commercial film, you have to start with five generations or even the next generation.
Needless to say, the five generations have not yet stood out among the younger generations, so Lu Ping'an has jumped out now and has become the focus of attention.
In this regard, Han Sanpin said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's take a look first." ”
Zhongying Cui said with a smile: "There's no need to worry, Xiaolu is only a freshman at the moment, and he is from the capital, so he can't run... ”
。。。。。。。
On the other hand, after the matter was finalized, Xiang Guoqiang, the legal officer introduced by Uncle Liao, began to enter the working state as soon as possible, go through the process, and run the company.
Lu Ping'an directly rented an office building in the capital as a registered place, named Ping An Film and Television, but unfortunately this name cannot be used, because there is already a very good "Ping'an" group company in China, so Lu Ping'an simply changed it directly to Xingchen Film and Television, meaning the sea of stars.
The time taken in the normal process can be solved with money, and Xiang Guoqiang is a veteran in this regard, and it was all done on the third day.
At the same time, Lu Ping'an's more than 320,000 US dollars also arrived, and then the signing with China Film was also smooth, and the payment was also smooth, but China Film sent someone to keep an eye on it, obviously still not at ease with Lu Ping'an, a newcomer, after all, it was millions of money.
When I came to the school again with the contract and proof of funds to ask for leave, the teachers were still shocked even if they already knew about it.
This freshman kid is really going to start directing big movies.
It's only been a long time!
Then they got close to Hu Qingquan to see if there was a chance to participate.
Hu Qingquan is still the producer, responsible for the daily management of the crew.
He carefully selected several directing teachers, seniors, and students from various departments to join the big crew.
Lu Ping'an directly pulled the original team over.
A group of people were excited.
After all, not everyone can get started with a big crew without graduating.
Materials, equipment, props, filming locations, etc. were also discussed with Lu Ping'an and Hu Qingquan for three days, and they were quickly completed, and they could be fully started in half a month.
And during this period, Lu Ping'an has to do two things.
The first is to shoot "Black Hole", and the second is the casting of "The Tuner".
"Black Hole" has begun preparations on the day Lu Ping'an returned to China, and now that four days have passed, it is time to shoot, otherwise it will be bad to miss the Cannes submission day.
After learning about the required special effects, Lu Ping'an knew that this film could actually be done in one day, and the special effects could be done in two days, so it would not affect the shooting of the "Tuner" movie.
Just do it, and the next day Lu Ping'an will be ready to start.
It's just that before he could call Zhang Songwen, Jiang Wen's phone arrived first:
"Boy, I heard your project started?"
