On November 11th, the post-production of "Comet" was completed.

[Congratulations on the completion of the production of the film "The Night the Comet Comed", with a total completion rate of 91%, and the reward will not change]

Call~

Lu Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief.

91%, a loss of 2% compared with the time of completion, thrilling.

I know where the 2% loss is, basically in individual shots and lines, and the final color grading stage, which has a relatively large proportion, which has something to do with the lighting at that time and the later techniques, if you let Zhang Yifan do it, it is estimated that the 2% may not be damaged, and it can even go up a little, in addition to these, the music is not 100% the same.

So post-production and music also need to be learned.

Details determine success or failure, and if you want to surpass, you must be proficient in every link.

The film passed, and Lu Ping'an looked at the reward.

【Language Learning 10-fold Amplification Card (3 months)】

Lu Ping'an soon knew that the so-called three-month statute of limitations was calculated from the time he started using it, and the effect disappeared after three months.

The specific function is to increase his foreign language learning speed by 10 times, as long as it is a foreign language.

As for how much you can learn in three months, it depends on your original talent and hard work.

He felt that he would be able to unlock fluency in English after three months of hard work, and on top of that, he might be able to get started in one or two more foreign languages.

It's not bad, but I'm worried about going abroad and can't open my mouth.

Accepting the reward, Lu Ping'an decided to start studying hard after he was done.

After the editing, the viewing party of "Comet" began the next day.

This film viewing meeting does not have the posture of "Looking for a Gun", it is just the most standard film review meeting of the leadership of China Film, and the effect is also expected.

After 90 minutes, Han Sanpin applauded first: "Not bad! I really didn't expect that just 350,000 could do this. ”

He has read the script, and now after seeing the finished film, he feels that Lu Ping'an's finished film is much more amazing than the script.

The difference between the finished film and the script lies in the editing, acting, soundtrack, etc., which makes the film full of thriller and suspense.

At the same time, the matter of "science" has the effect of careful thinking and fear.

So now Han Sanpin, who has read the script and learned about relevant scientific knowledge, is very satisfied.

And this is also the feature of "Comet", ultra-low-cost, making a blockbuster feeling.

It's just that after praising him, he also said some problems: "The viewing threshold of this film will be relatively high, and the audience will be more picky." ”

These words also made the rest of the Chinese film leaders present recognize.

After all, the concept of "parallel time and space coherence" in the movie is very clear, and the rhythm of the whole film is also very good, as long as they watch it, it is not difficult for them to understand and experience the subtle fun.

The quality of the film is excellent, the suspense is very sufficient, and in the end, it is Lu Ping'an's signature "careful thinking and fear".

I believe that Lu Ping'an will indeed be able to stabilize the signboard through this time, and his fans will be more loyal.

But they also know that the level of appreciation of most audiences is not high, and the viewing preference is more inclined to light-hearted movies.

Choose between a popcorn movie and a literary movie, and at least eight adults will choose a popcorn movie.

And "Comet" is not so literary, but it is definitely not popcorn, let alone a relaxed love, comedy and other popular themes.

Although there are many actors that young people like to join, the decisive factor is still the theme of the film.

So everyone's expectations for the box office are not too high, at least not so high that they think they can be compared with "The Tuner".

Of course, it is not excluded that Lu Ping'an's box office appeal will be powerful, but this kind of thing must not be included in the plan.

However, as we all know, the box office expectations are not so high is actually not a problem at all, after all, the cost is low, and it is not generally low.

So the matter is decided, and the next question is how to cooperate.

Lu Ping'an has already thought about it, there are no cinemas this year, and the first batch of 30 cinemas in China will not be approved for establishment until June next year, and it is impossible to directly negotiate the distribution like the later cinemas.

Now there are less than 1,500 big screens in the country, and the theater is the top tube as a whole, and the bottom is the princely system.

Without the intervention of large state-owned enterprises such as China Film and Shanghai Film, it is really not easy for ordinary films to be released nationwide, even if the box office share is not so easy to get after the release, it is common to take an account and spend half a year and a year.

So if you want to save some trouble, you must pull in China Film at present, with Han Sanpin, the "uncle", plus the interests of China Film, you can save too much trouble.

This was the case with "The Tuner" last time, China Film had investment and undertook all the distribution tasks, it was a nationwide release from top to bottom, everything went smoothly, if you came by yourself or found another company that was worse, you would have to die of trouble.

So we started talking about the issue of sharing.

If you want to talk about sharing, the production cost must not be calculated at 350,000 yuan, you have to add Lu Ping'an's salary and special effects fees, Lu Ping'an still shouted 500,000 yuan for the director's salary, and there are very few special effects, just a "comet", Lu Ping'an shouted 50,000 yuan, a total of 900,000.

Han Sanpin directly agreed, the cost of 900,000 yuan is really not high, and the salary of the director is also in line with Lu Ping'an's current value as a director, and it is even a little cheaper.

In the end, China Film and Lu Ping'an reached a cooperation, the first set is 100 copy discs, which is about a quarter of the national screening standard at present, mainly in Beijing, radiating several major cities in the north and along the coast, these costs are converted into the total cost, so the proportion is divided into five or five, which is better than the last four or six points, and then determine how much scale to expand according to the results, and the extra cost is still borne by each according to this proportion, and China Film can be cushioned first.

And this is just a distribution, and the rest of the copyright is not involved.

After chatting about cooperation, Han Sanpin then asked: "Do you want to send this film to the top three in Europe?" ”

Lu Ping'an nodded and said, "It will be sent to Berlin the day after tomorrow." ”

Speaking of Berlin, Han Sanpin asked again: "This time your short film is going to Berlin to win the award again, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Are you sure?"

"I don't know, but I think the quality of the new short film is better than the short film 'The Tuner'."

Han Sanpin immediately said, "Then this film will be set for the Berlin Film Festival, if you win another award in Berlin, then borrow a good wind, if you fail to win the award, then do a viewing party in advance." ”

"Then I'll have to worry about Uncle Han's arrangement."

。。。。。。。

"I'm leaving, don't forget to open when you roam."

At the airport, before sending Hu Qingquan to Berlin to deliver the film again, Hu Qingquan smiled at Lu Ping'an and ordered.

"Got it, you should be safe, too."

"Go back, go about your business."

Hu Qingquan turned around with a smile until he passed the customs and left the airport safely.

Back at home, Lu Ping'an planned the next thing.

"Comet" used a total of 350,000 yuan, so that Lu Ping'an practiced his hands well.

I don't know how much box office and profit this film will make in the future.

But the worst-case scenario has been prepared.

The big deal is a loss, and how much can you lose?

However, considering that he is a director after all, if he wants to get ahead, he must make achievements at the box office and awards.

Then the next film has to think about practical issues.

Or is it that question, the awards, or the box office?

Lu Ping'an didn't hesitate to choose the box office.

It's almost 2002, and the box office results for directors will gradually become the mainstream in the future.

If you can make money, you are a cow pen!

As for the awards, of course, it is also important, so Lu Ping'an decided to see if he wanted to open a literary film after the next commercial film.

Back to the next commercial film.

Forget about breaking 100 million box office in China.

Now that the market is like this, Feng Cannon's "Big Shot", which is known as a cost of 30 million at the end of the year, can only hit more than 40 million, so Lu Ping'an doesn't want to break 100 million at the box office.

Unless he makes a blockbuster with a huge gimmick.

But blockbusters are not something anyone can do, it's not enough to have special effects in your hands, and blockbusters in this era pay attention to the cast, connections, and director appeal.

Big-name stars, plus the support of theater scheduling, plus the director's reputation, these are the basis for the box office to break 100 million.

In this way, the cost is too big and the market is small, so let's wait until later.

The domestic impact of the super high box office can't be done, but Hollywood can.

However, we will have to wait for the results of Summit Entertainment's "Tuner" in May to come out.

So the direction of the next domestic movie is clear.

It's good that a niche film like "Comet" has been filmed once, and if the box office results are good in the future, I can continue to engage in this kind of ultra-low-cost film.

But that's a matter for later.

So the next one will be a popular point, everyone loves to watch it.

The cost doesn't have to be too high, at most within four or five million, comedy, love, it's best to bring some brains, and continue his "different" signboard.

As for the box office, Lu Ping'an's expectations are not high, as long as it is better than "Tuner".

In this way, there are two high-grossing movies, and the label of a blockbuster director on him can be established.

Thinking so, Lu Ping'an began to choose films...

When it was time for dinner, Yan Danchen came.

I haven't seen each other for more than half a month, and I miss it very much.

Yan Danchen is the same, she deliberately visited the vegetable market before coming.

"Guess what's going on today?"

"Is it ribs?"

"No, it's sauerkraut fish."

"Wow, I like it!"

Yan Danchen's skills are very good, that is, he always likes to put chili peppers when cooking, and the DNA of the Shonan girl has been engraved with chili peppers.

The meal was very enjoyable, and after the meal, the two washed the dishes together, and then lay on the sofa and watched TV.

The TV was playing "Don't Talk to Strangers".

The TV series that aired on October 22 has now finished one round, but this film is very popular, and the second round has started to be broadcast on other stations seamlessly.

Teacher Feng Yuanzheng estimated that he would have a terrible headache at this time.

"Will you abuse me in the future?"

Yan Danchen in his arms suddenly asked.

Lu Ping'an asked rhetorically: "How is domestic violence?" ”

"Just hit me."

"The snapping kind?"

"Yes... Hey, you're so nasty. ”

"Hey, woman, what are you thinking...

Domestic violence on TV, and "domestic violence" outside TV.

An family and in fact, a change of thinking can be very pleasant...
