In the end, the matter was finalized, Guorong joined to play the leading role, with a salary of 5 million and a schedule of one month, starting from May 10th, he was a little nervous, but Guorong said: "You can squeeze me, I haven't seen any scenes." ”

Also, the pace of Hong Kong is much faster than that of the mainland!

In terms of salary, a big name like Guorong originally needed additional box office dividends, but Guorong didn't ask for it, he only needed a promise, saying that when his new film began to prepare, he needed Lu Ping'an investment.

This is a very emotional, very casual way of cooperation, ordinary people don't do this, at least one yard to one yard, but Guorong did it.

His assistant wanted to persuade him, but he was still given by Guorong, saying that he should support Lu Ping'an's new movie and support domestic movies by the way, is there a problem?

After saying this, he showed a helpless look and said to Lu Ping'an: "In recent years, I have become a box office poison, so it is better to cause less trouble to you." ”

What he said is also true, in recent years, his films have not done well at the box office.

Last month, his "Different Space" was released in Xiangjiang, which is currently close to 20 days, and the box office is less than 3 million Hong Kong dollars, which is indeed in line with box office poison.

But that can't be said, Guorong's film rights are selling very well, and the advertising sponsorship is also very high, and the film company will eventually make money.

So Guorong is now making Lu Ping'an, which makes Lu Ping'an very moved.

Jiang Wen said in time: "Just listen to my brother, don't be embarrassed, when you make money, invest a big one for your brother!" ”

I didn't feel embarrassed.

However, Jiang Wen said so, and Lu Ping'an could only eat this cheap one gratefully.

Good people!

After Guorong confirmed to join, the next thing was a very practical problem.

If he joins, this film will have to be built bigger.

Han Sanpin has already said that if you want the full support of theaters and theaters, the film must be big enough.

In fact, the current situation is fully existent, as long as the cost is raised and shouted again.

But if Guorong and Zu Xian partner again, what kind of effect will it have?

Needless to say, the media will definitely connect with "A Chinese Ghost Story", and the gimmick can definitely go to the next level!

So Lu Ping'an tried to ask: "If the heroine is Zuxian, brother, will you object?" ”

Guorong smiled again: "I don't object, I haven't seen Zu Xian for a long time, I'm willing to partner with her again, the problem is that she doesn't know if she wants to, she stopped last year, and it's not easy to invite her out of the mountain." ”

That's a problem.

Guorong then said, "I can help you contact her and try it." ”

"Thank you, brother."

With that, Guorong made a call.

As a result, there is no accident, Zu Xian is already iron-hearted.

"There's no way, I can hear it, Zu Xian has made up his mind."

Lu Ping'an actually wanted to hold on, after all, Zu Xian seemed to have come back to the movie later.

But in the end, he gave up, and the current situation is completely enough to get strong support.

So he simply skipped it.

With Guorong, for Lu Ping'an, the actual production cost is still less than 10 million, and the final box office of more than 35 million will have a box office profit.

In addition, there is advertising sponsorship, but I don't know how much it will be.

In addition, the rest of the investors will definitely be greedy, and Lu Ping'an will also take out part of the share in exchange for the rest of the resources and sell favors.

People in the rivers and lakes, for the sake of the future, this is what needs to be done.

It's just that the production cost of "Source Code" naturally has to be added, Lu Ping'an thinks it's better to set it between 25 million and 30 million, and ask Han Sanpin's opinion tomorrow, and then see the reactions of investors and advertisers.

The matter was settled, and then several people chatted in the office for a while, knowing that Lu Ping'an also had two award-winning films, one of which was in production, and the other was an animated short film, Guorong said that he would watch it at everything.

Of course, Lu Ping'an will fulfill his wishes.

As a result, Guorong cried.

"Memories of the Building Block Cottage" is indeed quite tear-jerking.

"Ping, can you give me a copy, don't worry, I won't show it to others."

After recovering emotionally, Guorong solemnly pleaded to Lu Ping'an.

"No problem, I'll arrange it now."

"Thank you." Guorong regained his smile, and then reminded, "In my opinion, this film has the strength to impact the Oscars, but I don't know if those white people know the goods, Ping'an, you have to be prepared... ”

Guorong said some unspoken rules of Hollywood and the Oscars as a person who came over.

In general, it is discrimination and xenophobia against Chinese people and Chinese-language films.

said that many top martial arts superstars in Xiangjiang can only play a fool with developed limbs when they go to Hollywood.

The only one who broke out was Cheng Long, and it was an ambulance on call at any time.

"The Western world is not that easy to get into."

Guorong hopes that Lu Ping'an will know more, so as not to break the filter when the time comes.

Lu Ping'an naturally won't be like he said, after all, he is also a person from here.

"Thank you, brother, I will try my best to do a good job of public relations, and the results will not affect my plans below."

"Oh, what plan?"

"I make short films, in fact, to accumulate experience in making feature films, and after the animated short films, I will make a domestic animated blockbuster."

Guorong suddenly became interested, and his face was curious.

"Really? Can you talk about it? ”

"Of course, it's the story of a panda who wants to learn kung fu...

In the following time, Guorong stayed in Lu Ping'an's company for more than three hours.

It wasn't until more than 8 o'clock that everyone had dinner at the hotel arranged by Jiang Wen, and almost all of them chatted about Guorong during the banquet.

After a few glasses of wine, the pure and chic Guorong became an old driver.

Talking to Jiang Wen, girls have to avoid it a little.

8 people showed off 12 bottles of red wine for a meal, and in the evening, Guorong went back to the hotel to rest, he will go back tomorrow, and then come back when Lu Ping'an needs it, such as the project establishment press conference.

The next day, Lu Ping'an sent Guorong to the airport.

On the way back, the paparazzi Feng Ke called: "Road guide, just now my subordinates saw you at the airport to send Guorong." ”

"Oh, it's okay, I'll cooperate with Guorong in my next new film, you are the first to know this news, but you have to keep it secret first, and I'll tell you when the announcement time is confirmed."

"Really ?!!"

"Yes, it's true, come back to my company to talk."

"Thank you, guide!"

After hanging up the phone, Fenko was already excited.

Getting such a powerful news is only one of them, and it is more that Lu Ping'an really treats him as a friend!

How much help this will help the paparazzi's career!

Falco was so grateful that he had died safely.

He decided to pay more attention to Lu Ping'an's negative news in the future, and then help in time, friend, you can't always ask for it.

For giving the paparazzi a small favor, Lu Ping'an was not at ease, this was just a code of conduct he set for the famous paparazzi in the future.

In the same way, if others give you help and favor you, then you will naturally have to repay it.

So on the road, Lu Ping'an asked Jiang Wen: "Old Jiang, I really don't know how to thank you." ”

Jiang Wen squinted and looked at Lu Ping'an, his skins were all squeezed together, and he looked disgusted: "You give me one side!" Is the meat not numb? Also, talk about money and you are in a hurry! ”

Lu Ping'an wanted to laugh when he heard it.

But he didn't refute it, and then asked, "Either you can make a cameo, I have a good idea." ”

"I don't have time, my movie is about to start."

"What movie?"

"Green tea, literary films, protagonists."

"Then what should I do, you are doing me such a big favor, I have to mean it."

"You can make me a script, and I can have a brainstorm."

Jiang Wen cocked Erlang's legs on the co-pilot, "The brain hole should be big, it should be deeper than the current one, and it should be enjoyable to act, it doesn't matter if it's a big cost, a small cost is the best, I like your kind of script that makes big things out of a tight space, it doesn't matter if you play the protagonist or not, it's good to have fun, okay?" ”

"Yes, but there is no guarantee that you will be satisfied, I can only do my best."

Lu Ping'an gritted his teeth and agreed, looking quite laborious.

"That's what you said!"

"I said it!"

"Okay, that's it!" Jiang Wen was happy, and immediately asked, "What did you just say?" Cameo? Okay! ”

Lu Ping'an: "... ”

。。。。。。。

Sending Jiang Wen away, Lu Ping'an returned to the company, no nonsense, and held a meeting directly.

There is a lot of preliminary work in the "Source Code", mainly framing, sets, props, and so on.

In fact, these things have begun to be done, and they have been done for more than half a month, after all, even if there is no Guorong to join this film, it has to be done, and now that Guorong has joined, then the employees have started to do things, and this confidence is naturally different.

"You don't need to talk nonsense, do you?"

"No, boss, just look at it!"

Wu Guohua is full of confidence, his eyes are full of passion, and so are the other employees.

"Okay, let's do it now!"

"Understood!"

22 people have a clear division of labor and directly enter the working state.

Lu Ping'an went directly to Zhongying.

When big names join, the goal of the film is not to have a box office of 30 or 40 million, but to make it bigger!

More than an hour later, Han Sanpin listened to Lu Ping'an's words, and his eyes widened: "You really invited Guorong here?!" ”

"It's true, it's a contract."

Lu Ping'an handed over a copy of the contract signed with Guorong.

Han Sanpin said several good words after reading it.

The next thing is simple, after discussion, the final production cost is tentatively set at 30 million, which will be used to attract investment, and China Film will lead the investment of 3 million, and the final share will be adjusted according to the actual use of funds.

In addition, China Film once again personally involved in account sharing and distribution, and this time it is different from the previous two times, after the movie comes out, it is the era of cinemas, and although the cinema chain at this time has gotten rid of the old theater princely system, it is still not mainly private, but China Film has been determined to be the real mountain carving of the new era, and this time it is vigorously involved in the distribution of commercial films, and its effect will naturally be completely different from before.

In a sense, Lu Ping'an's "Source Code" already has the same national treasure treatment as "Hero".

And the next thing is to see if the advertisers are not giving enough.

On April 24, reporter Feng Ke took the lead in breaking the news that Lu Ping'an's new film will cooperate with Guorong.

For a time, the Internet was boiling, and the industry was boiling.

Xingchen Film and Television received several times the previous consultation call.

On April 25, Lu Ping'an completed the post-production of "Time and Space Sin".

On the same day, Guorong came to the capital again.

And under the witness of dozens of media, he announced with Lu Ping'an that he would cooperate with Lu Ping'an's new film "Source Code".

Guo Rong: "I decided to act at the first sight of the script, Director Ping An is worthy of being a director who can always bring surprises to people, and I am very much looking forward to our domestic films going to the world!" ”

Lu Ping'an: "This time the movie will be no urine point in the whole process, what is no urine point?" It's just to make your bladder explode and you can't even leave your seat! ”

Journalists: "... ”

Internal Entertainment Media:

"Guorong + Lu Ping'an, a strong combination, the blockbuster "Source Code" project was established!"

Lu Ping'an: The cost of the new movie will reach 30 million! China Film leads the investment, and another blockbuster is coming! ”

Guorong praised Lu Ping'an, and the two called each other fans.

"After burning the brain and thinking carefully, Lu Ping'an's new film will be 'no urine spot' throughout the whole process. . . ."

Hong Kong media: "The talented director of the mainland blows up your bladder with Guorong!" ”

On the same day, domestic entertainment, Hong Kong entertainment, film industry, music industry, Lu Ping'an's fans, countless Guorong fans, and fans were boiling.
