166 Anchoring, soundtrack, finalization
After the seventh day of the first month, Lu Ping'an's work rhythm entered a high-intensity state.
On the eighth day of the first month, the production team of "Kung Fu Panda" started to work, and Lu Ping'an gave the animation team a task, the first of which was to ask for the first 30-second short film to be made within two months.
This is for anchoring.
At present, the overall plot of the "Kung Fu Panda" movie has been finalized, and the rest is production.
Considering the uncertainty of the production cycle, it is important to release the image and plot in advance.
A 30-second short film, which mainly involves the characters and the simplest plot summary.
When the short film is released, it will announce the project to the world.
In the same way, there is also the image of "Minions".
So the second task of the animation team is to publish a Minion comic in the first half of this year, and if you have enough time, you will also publish a short film.
Of course, Lu Ping'an still has the rest of the IP, but you have to take your time and do it one by one.
After giving instructions, Lu Ping'an came to the Olympic Organizing Committee to sign, and becoming a torchbearer is not a simple matter of running on the spot.
We have to confirm the various documents first, and then wait for the time to announce the list together, and have a meeting together in June, and it is said that we will have to train for a day or two, and finally appear on June 9th, and the specific number of sticks is not yet known, in short, the pit position has been determined.
148 people, 55 kilometers, less than 400 meters per person, how to run not fast or slow, how to take the torch.
In short, it seems to be a small thing, but it should actually be done as a big thing.
Lu Ping'an did not take it lightly, and strictly implemented it.
After finishing the torchbearer, he came to Zhongying safely and met Zhao Jiping, who was drinking tea with Han Sanpin.
"Peace is here, this is Mr. Zhao."
"Hello Mr. Zhao."
"Lu Dao, we finally met."
Zhao Jiping has a very good personality, and he made the chat atmosphere very active when he came up.
After the two got to know each other briefly, they drove to Xingchen Film and Television.
Zhao Jiping was contacted by Lu Ping'an and asked Han Sanpin to help him get in touch with the soundtrack of "Wonderful Night".
After several months of production, except for a few special effects shots and dubbing, the rest of the film has been completed, and the finished film is suitable for the intervention of the soundtrack.
So this time I went to Xingchen Film and Television, which can be regarded as an opportunity to watch a film for Han Sanpin and Zhao Jiping.
"I've been curious about what your film is for a long time, and today I can finally see it."
Zhao Jiping smiled, his eyes full of curiosity.
Han Sanpin is the same, Lu Ping'an's movies are not the same as the rest of the domestic movies, and every time he "unpacks", it is also the moment he is most looking forward to.
Of course, Lu Ping'an should be modest in this regard: "The first time you try comedy, it's best not to have too high expectations. ”
Zhao Jiping believed this, but Han Sanpin didn't believe it.
But he didn't say anything, anyway, he watched it.
Soon the three of them came to the screening room, and after a while, the movie opened.
There is no soundtrack, the sound effects are not complete, and the dubbing has not been repaired, to be honest, it really affects the viewing experience.
But for the two, this kind of semi-finished movie is too much, so it basically has no impact.
Zhao Jiping didn't even watch the film when he created the episode "Reed Swing" in "Journey to the West", he just read the script, and then walked to the filming location to create it, and even during the creation process, he was extremely speechless about the script.
Lu Ping'an has no doubts about the ability of this kind of master.
A little over an hour later, the movie ends.
Han Sanpin praised it unexpectedly.
Lu Ping'an, who was worried at the beginning, couldn't do comedy well, but now it has basically dissipated, although there will indeed be a little gap between the overall film and the super high-reputation film like "Source Code", but the reputation of this film will definitely not be bad by then, and comedy is more suitable for the market.
Zhao Jiping also praised it, the special effects in the film and the brain hole of the script are indeed as Han Sanpin said before, Lu Ping'an's movies are different from others.
Of course, he was also interested in other points, and he asked, "Who does the art?" ”
Lu Ping'an: "Mr. Yang Zhan's family, Mr. Yang." ”
"It's him."
After hearing this, Zhao Jiping shook his head with a smile, "I'm under a lot of pressure now." ”
Lu Ping'an said with a smile: "Teacher Zhao, you just play normally." ”
"That's fine, but don't expect too much."
Zhao Jiping smiled and returned the words to Lu Ping'an.
Lu Ping'an couldn't help laughing, this Teacher Zhao is really interesting!
Next, the matter was finalized, and the 1 million salary was locked in Zhao Jiping.
In the future, Zhao Jiping will have 5 months to complete the film score.
For this reason, Zhao Jiping also asked Lu Ping'an for permission to enter the set, saying that he wanted to take a good look at the museum.
This must be given, there is nothing to hesitate about.
Lu Ping'an is looking forward to what kind of soundtrack he will make at that time.
Will it have the same level as "Reed Swing" in "Journey to the West"?
Lu Ping'an felt that it was unlikely, so it was indeed right to lower some expectations.
The matter was finalized, and the three of them had dinner together in the evening, and after the meal, Lu Ping'an and Han Sanpin chatted about the finalization.
There is an Olympic Games in the summer this year, although the Olympics are in Athens, but Han Sanpin said that this will definitely have some impact on the film market.
So the best schedule is in July.
In addition, "Ambush on All Sides" is currently about to be completed, and Han Sanpin estimates that they will most likely be set in July.
Lu Ping'an knew that the original time and space "Ambush on All Sides" was on July 16.
So the two movies will definitely meet, but it's really scheduled, in fact, the best choice is to be released after "Ambush on All Sides".
This time, Zhang Weiping will once again ask for an increase in the share of cinema production, from 40% to about 43%.
In this way, you can still enjoy the ticket price and account sharing bonus after it.
And the box office will not have much impact, because the reputation of "Ambush on All Sides" is not as good as "Wonderful Night", and it will be a high probability event.
Even if Zhang Weiping does not ask for a share of the account, "Wonderful Night" is the best choice.
"Let's set July 16 first, I think that day is an auspicious day, and it depends on how the other party decides."
Lu Ping'an looked at the calendar and made a decision.
Han Sanpin agreed, and he would operate this matter in the future.
The matter was negotiated, and before leaving, Han Sanpin finally mentioned the matter of Batman.
Batman's preparations are currently in order, and it is expected to be ready to start after mid-February.
"It's time to start filming, are you confident?"
"Yes."
"How many people are staring at you, just waiting for you to fall on your heels, peace, you must be cautious and cautious, and you must not take it lightly."
"I know Uncle Han."
Of course, he will not take it lightly, not to mention anything else, Batman's ultra-high cost of nearly 100 million yuan can't help it.
A day later, Lu landed in Los Angeles safely.
Also here were Ning Hao and Wu Jing.
Ning Hao is here to learn from the experience this time, Hollywood big production, this kind of eye-opening opportunity, as Lu Ping'an's little brother, of course will not miss it.
In the future, Zhang Songwen will also come to open their eyes on Monday, Lu Ping'an is not stingy with giving them this opportunity, there is no need to hide it.
When they arrived at the place, several people put down their luggage at Lu Ping'an's villa in Beverly, and before they could take a breath, a not-so-good news followed.
