Oscar scene.

Lu Ping'an stood still in front of the microphone and began to give a speech.

First of all, he checked the little golden man the same size as the feature film award, and then said into the microphone:

"We made a film about love, life and memories, and along the way, I saw countless people who have good memories, people who have rediscovered their good past, thank you for your support, and now, 'Memory Block House' has another good memory."

"Thank you to my motherland, school, Shangmei factory, family, teachers, colleagues, classmates, thank you to the organizing committee, I hope that everyone's good memories can continue indefinitely in the future, thank you! Thank you (in Chinese). ”

Bang la la blah.

With applause, Lu Ping'an and the five main creators returned to their seats in the eyes.

The acceptance speech of this award was repeatedly considered by Hu Qingquan and the people of Shangmei Factory several times.

It's not so formatted, but it's pretty decent.

No way, the "first time" is of great significance, especially Hu Qingquan, who values it very much.

The little old man is more concerned than himself, and Lu Ping'an will naturally follow his wishes.

However, in the thank you roll call, Hu Qingquan insisted that Lu Ping'an called his name.

His exact words were: "I'll talk about it when your feature film wins the award." ”

Okay, if you don't name it, you won't order anything else, so in the end, there is a series of skips.

Returning to his seat, Lu Ping'an handed the trophy to Hu Qingquan as soon as possible.

Hu Qingquan weighed it a few times, and said with a smile: "It's really not gold." ”

"Of course, pure gold is so big and expensive."

"Of course I know, hey, it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, why does it always feel like it's not worth it."

After speaking, he handed the trophy to the people of Shangmei Factory who had long been shining in their eyes.

And Hu Qingquan and Lu Ping'an's mood at the moment is similar.

There wasn't much excitement, just expected.

After all, I still know and experience too much.

Of course, Lu Ping'an still attaches great importance to this award.

After all, this is really what he got by relying on his own skills to turn the tide of the battle, and the sense of accomplishment is different.

The award ceremony continued, and the results were more or less the same as those of the original plane.

"Gangs of New York" won Best Picture, and Roman Polanski of "The Pianist" won Best Director.

The best animated feature film was won by "Spirited Away", and the best foreign language film "Hero" was still not shared, and was won by Germany's "Nowhere to Live".

At the end of the award ceremony, Lian Jie Manyu and others came up to congratulate, and Lao Mouzi also said a few words, but Zhang Weiping couldn't see anyone.

Lu Ping'an doesn't care about him at all, he has a lot of things to do.

took the little golden man, and then went to participate in various drinking parties.

The Oscar Film Festival is similar to the rest of the film festivals, the award is the appearance, and the copyright transaction behind it is the big thing.

Many award-winning films are not much commercial, but relying on the awards, they can create a higher copyright transaction record behind them, and at the same time, they can get more film schedules, big screens, and even more box office accounts when they are released in North America.

And as the importance of the Oscars grows, there will be more and more studios gathered here.

Since then, many Oscar-winning films have been sold in record quantities.

A film that wins an award in Europe may sell for seventy or eighty copyright units, which is very high, and the Oscars can be as high as more than 100.

So it's all business.

As for how much "Memory" can sell, Lu Ping'an is looking forward to it, because many relevant units have contacted Hu Qingquan before this.

It is estimated that after winning the award this time, the copyright transaction volume will surprise Lu Ping'an's snacks.

Out of the venue, CCTV came to interview:

What kind of mood did you feel when you won the prize.

What do you want to do most now.

When to return home.

These are the problems that come and go.

The answer is simple.

Then there was a cocktail party after the Oscars, a small interview, and so on.

As the winner of the Oscar, even if it is a short film, its status today is different from the rest.

So Lu Ping'an received a lot of business cards along the way, including several with lipstick prints, and some directly stuffed room cards.

Lu Ping'an is an upright person, so I'm sorry everyone!

In the end, Lu Ping'an and Miyazaki stood together to take pictures.

Another award for feature film and short film, the same as last time in Berlin.

This time, Miyazaki blessed Lu Ping'an: "I hope to take a photo with Ling who won the feature film award next time." ”

After listening to the translation, Lu Ping'an said with a smile: "Then next time, I have to call you in advance to cheer for the award ceremony." ”

"Hahaha, okay."

The two laughed and exchanged contact information.

At nearly 12 o'clock, Lu Ping'an returned to the hotel, and the bodyguard Tina saw him and whispered a few words.

Lu Ping'an nodded to indicate that he understood, and then went upstairs into his suite.

Dong Xuan waited on the sofa.

"You're back, congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

Lu Ping'an smiled and thanked him.

Dong Xuan's expression was a little resentful.

Lu Ping'an is very busy these days, and at first arranged for Tina for her to play by herself.

In fact, in addition to being a bodyguard, Tina is also Lu Ping'an's assistant in North America.

It is also the responsibility of an assistant to help deal with the boss's personal affairs, which is very common in Lao Mei and is also very professional.

So on the first day Dong Xuan came to Lao Mei, Tina took her around, and the two quickly got closer, and the next day Tina suggested going to Lao Mei to go shopping elsewhere and go to various cities in the United States.

At that time, Lu Ping'an happened to encounter a smear turmoil, so in order not to disturb, Dong Xuan agreed.

And then this play is more than a week.

During this period, Tina also told Dong Xuan a reality as a friend.

That is, Lu Ping'an is young, rich and talented, how much energy will he put into you? Have you ever thought that he would have no girlfriend like this? Even if you don't, can you control him? He's only 21! Think about it.

This was instructed by Lu Ping'an.

As early as when Dong Xuan suddenly said that he was going to come to Lao Mei to find him, he had made all the preparations.

It's a commendable courage to come all the way here, but I also have my own ideas.

In fact, he had thought a lot about such a situation for a long time.

As his fame grows, he looks handsome.

There will be more and more people coming at the body and people, which cannot be stopped.

Of course, I may also meet a second person like Yan Danchen who makes me willing to go away.

But no matter what the situation is, Lu Ping'an feels that as a director and a businessman, he must have a plan in this kind of thing.

For women, his principle is that he doesn't care about his kidneys, unless he likes it very much, such as Yan Danchen, but he won't be all distracted, otherwise he won't have those things with Yu Feihong.

The rest is just kidneys.

He is a young and strong director, in good health, and is praised by Xiao Chenchen as a Simmons killer.

Usually energetic can, and Xiao Chenchen gets together less and more, and usually there is a strong related demand.

So if someone like Yu Feihong understands that both of them will not cause trouble in life and work, then there is no concern.

But like Dong Xuan, who comes for the soul, forget it.

Mixed entertainment industry, how can you be trapped by these?

So for Dong Xuan, his approach is to ask Tina to remind her and let her recognize the reality.

This is still for the sake of the two of them being friends, if it is someone else, the bird will not take the bird.

Now it seems that the effect is there.

"Show me, little golden man."

Dong Xuan said to Lu Ping'an.

"Give!"

Lu Ping'an handed it to her.

"It's exquisite."

"It's a big prize."

After watching it for a while, Dong Xuan returned the little golden figure, and then said, "I'll go back tomorrow." ”

"Okay, whatever you need."

"No, it's cost you a lot of money these days."

"I don't have much money, they're all friends, so I don't have to worry about that."

Lu Ping'an waved his hand, and then asked, "Before you leave tomorrow, I'll ask Tina to accompany you to go shopping again, buy a little bit of everything, don't worry." ”

"Then I'll knock you hard!"

There was less resentment on his face, and more relief.

"Whatever you want."

Lu Ping'an is still calm.

After a little silence, Dong Xuan said, "Do you have time now, draw a picture for me." ”

"Okay."

Just a small gift to satisfy her.

Dong Xuan then lay on the sofa and put on a side lying posture, looking a little familiar.

Lu Ping'an recognized it: "You are imitating Ruth." ”

"yes, you're going to be Jack."

"Well, then don't blame me for drawing you a pig's head."

Lu Ping'an took out his sketchbook and began to draw.

When the painting was finished, Dong Xuan looked at it and said, "This doesn't work, it's not similar enough." ”

Lu Ping'an was puzzled, Dong Xuan took off his clothes, lay down and posed again, and became a real uncut version of "Ruth".

For a while, the room was full of spring light, and the two only looked at each other.

Without waiting for Lu Ping'an to speak, Dong Xuan spoke first: "I don't want to leave regrets." ”

With that, she got up and walked towards Lu Ping'an and hugged him.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Hmm!"

"Good"

Early the next morning, before getting up, Dong Xuan asked for Lu Ping'an.

"You'll remember me later, won't you?"

"Yes."

Lu Ping'an nodded.

Dong Xuan got a satisfactory answer, got up from Lu Ping'an, and began to take a shower and dress.

She is also an adult, and she is an actress, although she has not yet entered the circle, she has naturally had a lot of psychological construction for this kind of thing, and she is not as biao and in love as Lu Ping'an thinks.

This time, out of the long-term accumulation of impulses, after knowing each other for so many days and chatting for so long, Lu Ping'an's shadow is getting heavier and heavier in her heart, and it is becoming more and more difficult to ignore.

So when she heard Producer Li's words, she came directly.

But in fact, she had already thought about the worst outcome and was mentally prepared to accept it.

are in their twenties, and their feelings and interests are already about to be weighed.

Although it does hurt her heart now.

But for him to remember now, that's enough.

At least it's much better than the other party not refusing, otherwise it really seems that you are too cheap, and it proves that you are looking at the wrong person.

Now, the worst-case scenario is not happening, and it is even good.

"I'm leaving."

"Okay."

Dong Xuan turned his head and was about to go out, but stopped at the door again, turned his head and ran back, biting Lu Ping'an's lip, wanting to be ruthless, but in the end it turned into a kiss again.

After the kiss, she looked at Lu Ping'an: "Lu Ping'an, if I agreed to act at the beginning, would my current position be mine?" ”

"There are no ifs, and time cannot be turned back." Lu Ping'an replied with a smile.

"I see."

Dong Xuan got up, put on a smiling face, and nodded his lips, "You still owe me three meals, don't forget to pay it back in the future." ”

"Shaxian, I remember."

"Then it's going to be 30 tons!"

"Okay!"

Dong Xuan left, and Tina sent her.

At noon, Tina came back and said that Dong Xuan only bought some souvenirs and spent a few hundred dollars.

Tina said she was in a bad mood on the way to the airport after shopping.

Lu Ping'an nodded in understanding.

At least it's better than being emotionally entangled, sad, and sad in the future.

Now that the matter is satisfactorily resolved, she will be praised by Lu Ping'an after that.

That's it.

The next most important thing is to reap the dividends!

Women or something, in front of interests, are not enough.

。。。。。。。。。

Three days later, all the bonuses about the Oscars were summed up.

The first is the copyright of "Memories".

As a short film, the value of "Memory" is naturally not comparable with that of a feature film, but it has also achieved quite outstanding results.

The global screening rights were sold for $1.16 million, and a total of 76 countries and regions were broadcast, setting a record among all Lu Ping'an's works.

The disc rights sold for $600,000, which is not much, but it is quite good for a short film.

So far, Lu Ping'an's total public relations expenses of $820,000 have returned.

In addition, Lu Ping'an's "Hollywood landscape map" on the streets of Los Angeles was also auctioned for $210,000 at the subsequent charity auction.

There are also three endorsements.

Versace's endorsements in China totaled $3 million for two years.

Jaeger-LeCoultre watches cost $5 million for three years.

and the local brand in the United States, Dell Computer, 4 million US dollars for two years.

For this reason, Lu Ping'an also asked the head of public relations, Dell, if it had anything to do with this brand.

Dale whispered to him that it didn't matter, but that he would occasionally pull the tiger skin outside.

Lu Ping'an laughed: Sure enough, it's public relations!

In addition to these, there are a few other miscellaneous brands.

But Lu Ping'an didn't pick it up, and if he wanted to pick it up, he would pick it up for a domestic brand after returning to China.

In short, the Oscars are a show of fame and fortune, winning awards, and having attention, there will be no shortage of these.

There are also various interviews.

Among them, the most important thing for Chinese people is "Time Magazine".

In February, Lao Mouzi became the cover character of the Asia-Pacific edition of Time Magazine, and now in March, Lu Ping'an is safe.

At the same time, the first issue of Time magazine in the Americas in April will also be him.

With the Oscar short film and the explosion of "Chainsaw", Lu Ping'an became a celebrity in Hollywood.

In terms of career, Lu Ping'an spent 3 million to buy a script.

This is an important part of his impact on the feature film Grand Slam after his short film journey.

In addition, in terms of directors, the current offer of directors in Hollywood is basically between $2 million and $3 million.

It's definitely much worse than a big director.

But it is also far more than the average Hollywood director who has only directed one or two works.

As for whether to accept the business, it naturally depends on Lu Ping An himself.

If there is a big hit project, he will definitely take it, and forget about the rest.

And for now, it is natural for him to focus on his own project first.

Before returning home, Watzberg asked him, "When is the next film going to be made?" ”

Lu Ping'an told him: "After the account is settled, let's talk about the next project." ”

"Chainsaw 1" exploded, bringing nearly $20 million of pre-tax revenue to Lu Ping'an.

After the money is in place, Lu Ping'an will start the next project with Dingfeng, "Chainsaw 2" is definitely planned, and the rest depends on the situation.

"Lu, don't worry, I don't bother to do that kind of thing."

"Of course I believe you, but even if you settle the bill for me now, I'll have to finalize the script in a few days."

"I understand."

Watzberg smiled, "Go back and have a good rest, and I hope to hear good news from you as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, then I'll go."

Things are basically done, and this Oscar can be described as a huge gain.

It's time for Lu Ping'an to return to China.
