237 A director who can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen
After returning from school, Lu Ping'an went straight to the company.
Everyone in the company lined up to welcome.
"Congratulations to the boss for winning the Golden Lion Award!"
A bunch of bunnies are getting more and more unruly.
Lu Ping'an smiled and hugged his fists in thanks, and shouted "add bonus" and then fanned his hands to drive people away.
Everyone left happily, leaving their friends to continue patting their ass.
Zhou Yiwei: "It's okay, it's silent, I won the Golden Lion Award!" ”
Zhang Songwen: "What about the trophy, is it pure gold?" ”
Ning Hao leaned in and whispered, "I'm interested in you and Scarlett Johansson, is there anything like that?" ”
"Go, go!"
Lu Ping'an raised his leg and was about to kick, and everyone ran away in a hurry.
The acquaintances dispersed, leaving a familiar and unfamiliar woman at the scene: Yang Lan.
"Hello road guide, uninvited, there is a lot of disturbance."
Yang Lan behaves decently, her iconic voice is very steady, and her whole person exudes the bright light of a Kochi woman.
Of course, this Lu Ping'an is no stranger.
At this time, she is famous.
08 One of the five Olympic Bid Ambassadors.
The top of the hosting industry is still an entrepreneur.
There are many companies under this person's hands, and he has been on the rich list in recent years, worth hundreds of billions.
Her "Interview with Yang Lan" interviewed all high-end celebrities.
At present, it is idolized by countless progressive youths who dream of becoming elites.
Yang Lan came this time to interview Lu Ping'an.
Now Lu Ping'an has won the Golden Lion Award, and his fame is at the peak.
As long as his brain is not broken, he will indeed not miss him.
For the vast majority of people, being able to appear on her show is a full reflection of social status.
The sea bass has about this kind of thing, and she's really a big difference.
Although Lu Ping'an didn't like this person very much, he felt that her vision couldn't fall to the ground, she was too strong, but she showed disgust for ordinary people.
But he is not averse to such interviews.
Take what you need.
At present, there is a bit of controversy on the market about Lu Ping'an shooting same-sex movies and using foreigner movies to win awards.
Just then, I can take this opportunity to explain.
"Hello Mr. Yang, you already greeted Mr. Hu yesterday, so it's not uninvited, please inside."
Lu Ping'an responded politely.
Afterwards, they took their team on a tour of the company.
The camera followed.
Yang Lan walked all the way, and saw that many young people in the company, especially women, looked sideways.
Understandable.
Yang Lan in this period is indeed not comparable to ordinary stars in the circle.
But this is not the case with Lu Ping'an.
He only treats this as an ordinary journalist.
Therefore, many sensitive areas in the company are not allowed to shoot.
For example, the animation group, the "Pacific Rim" group, the Olympic group, and so on.
The other party also understands that this is a company's secret, and if you don't understand this, don't do this job.
After a brief visit, the two began the interview in the studio prepared by Xingchen himself.
When Yang Lan saw the studio, she knew that Xingchen Company's foundation was thick.
All kinds of equipment are professional and top-notch, so that the camera brother she brought stared at the equipment and almost drooled.
The lighting and photography are all cinematic, and Yang Lan, who has experienced it briefly, is also very happy.
The feeling in front of the camera of a big director is different.
Of course, this also magnified the imperfections on her face a lot.
Fortunately, Xingchen's makeup team is also very professional.
Within a few minutes, Yang Lan felt that she could actually act in a movie.
And the makeup artist she brought with her had a sense of crisis.
After all, I have just met a colleague with Hollywood work experience, and I am a little ashamed of myself at this time.
After a set of combination punches, Lu Ping'an didn't know if Yang Lan's heart would be calmer next, he really didn't like Kochi who was too delicate.
But fortunately, Yang Lan is Yang Lan after all, and her professional standards are still there.
Then the interview began, even if she was Yang Lan, Lu Ping'an only left her an hour and a half.
Yang Lan still has no opinion on this.
Lu Ping'an is now preparing to run for chief director, and he is busy, so it's good to find time for her.
So the next topic also started with the election of the chief director.
The chattering conversation is very natural, and the final show is broadcast by editing, Lu Ping'an understands this.
"How's the campaign going now?"
"The people in the team are working hard, and the campaign will give a complete plan in three days."
"Can you give us some creative direction?"
"It's a combination of ancient and modern, it's hard to say more."
"What's the difference between that and conceiving a movie?"
"There are still yes, for me the movie will definitely be a lot simpler, in this case, we don't have much experience."
"You've said this many times."
"Is there one?"
"Yes (laughs), I remember you saying the same thing before you filmed "Fantastic Night at the Museum", saying that you had no experience with comedy, and it turned out to be a box office record now, so I can understand that you are hiding it?"
"Of course not, I'm telling the truth."
"Then it means that your talent is higher than you think, I have seen all your movies, suspense, horror, science fiction and love, you seem to be able to accurately grasp the essence of all kinds of genres, I am curious, what is the trick here."
Yang Lan speaks unhappily and always with a smile.
But the tempo of the conversation changes quickly and naturally.
Before she knew it, the rhythm of the interview was mastered by her.
Lu Ping'an once again deeply felt that the level of the top host was indeed extraordinary.
It's just that in comparison, he still prefers Lao Guo.
It's true that words won't let you fall to the ground, but people can gag, and the atmosphere is very down-to-earth and cheerful.
Now, it is much more serious and tasteless, even if Yang Lan on the other side has been acting amiable.
However, Lu Ping'an is not a person who will be easily taken away.
He only needs to grasp one point in the whole interview.
Just say what you want to say, and don't expand on the rest.
"I don't have any hobbies, making movies is my biggest hobby."
"Multilingual and composing? I will learn anything related to movies and help movies. ”
"I still don't have expectations for "Brokeback Mountain" to win the Oscar, and I will lose my life."
"I don't care if I have to maintain a high-end attitude, as long as the idea is interesting, I will try to write a script, and when I am satisfied, I will shoot without too many worries."
"Try different themes, you will grow as an individual and as a team, and if you really want to win an award, I hope to win it with the team next time."
"I want my fans to be not single, but to cover all ages and have different aesthetic preferences."
"There are good and bad cultures in both China and the West, politics aside, art has no borders, but politics cannot be put aside, so artists have borders, I hope that in the future, when everyone mentions me, the first thing that comes to mind is the director from China."
"Yes, we will indeed make a film of our Chinese culture in the future, and there is more than one, and we are already preparing for it, which is also the focus of our Xingchen Film and Television in the future."
"It can be revealed that one is a fantasy movie, about life and family affection, one is a youth campus movie, one is about first love, and the other is a science fiction movie, and the current investment in this science fiction movie is close to 500 million."
Get!
Everything that needs to be said has been said.
Whatever Yang Lan said next, he simply expressed his opinion.
In Yang Lan's view, Lu Ping'an is an artist who only has movies in his mind.
For such a person, of course Yang Lan will not despise anything.
The Golden Lion Award is here, after all.
Of course, she was also a little helpless, and in the end, Lu Ping'an was a little suspicious of advertising.
But it doesn't hurt.
Today is still very satisfying.
By the end of the interview, she had all the topics for the interview in mind.
"Lu Ping'an: I want to be a director who can go to the hall and the kitchen"
。。。。。。。
The interview lasted an hour and a half and ended on time.
Yang Lan's style is also not dragging her feet at all, and she simply ends the interview naturally.
After the two politely stayed for dinner, Yang Lan calmly resigned without disturbing the preparation of the election campaign.
To be honest, Lu Ping'an still likes this kind of style.
But that's about it.
Because dealing with this kind of person is really tiring, more tiring than talking to Liu Qianqian's father.
So sending Yang Lan away, Lu Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief.
Mission complete, and then jump right into work.
The work reports of the departments have been waiting for a long time.
Busy, with it.
The first is the cinema chain.
The number of planetary theaters has finally exceeded 160.
A total of 531 big screens, with a market share of 19%, can be called a huge scale.
However, it can also be seen from the proportion of the number of cinemas and screens, the average number of screens owned by each theater is only 3.3, that is, many of these 160 are small cinemas.
There is no way, Lu Ping'an is not the king of Wanda, and he can't do the work of building houses, so he can only buy them everywhere.
In this way, the theater can't really unify the style.
So some places are in good locations, and some places are more remote.
There is a high probability that these remote movie theaters will be eliminated in the future.
The good news is that most of the 160 are self-owned.
With the rise in housing prices or demolition, it can be converted into cash flow in the future, and then the wave of cinemas that explodes with shares can be purchased.
In this way, Planetary Cinema can always hold the right to speak.
At present, the profit of the theater is still considerable, and the turnover of a summer file is close to 100 million.
Thank you for the great development of the film market!
The overall box office of the past summer file was not bad.
More than 100 million for "Stone", 69 million for "Batman", 101 million for "Seven Swords", 61 million for "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and 52 million for "War of the Worlds".
There are also many movies with a box office of 20 million, and the overall box office is a little more than last year.
And because there are many blockbusters, it also allows more fans with different preferences to enter the theater.
The cinema then made a lot of money.
Among them, for Planet Cinema, the most earned is "Seven Swords".
70% of the 3D movie box office of "Seven Swords" was produced in Star Theaters.
The minimum ticket price for a single ticket is 40 yuan, which is a decrease, but it is also more than ten yuan higher than the general ticket.
It's just that the high ticket price also brings more intense scolding.
But it's not 3D that's scolding, it's scolding Xu Laowei.
"Seven Swords", bad movie, refund money!
Xu Lao Wei was also very helpless, his life encountered Waterloo again, and he was confused about the future.
If it wasn't enough, he was still very grateful to Lu Ping'an, he knew that if there was no 3D version, the overall box office of "Seven Swords" would only be lower.
He was right, the mainland box office of the original time and space "Seven Swords" was only a little more than 80 million.
Now it can break 100 million, and 3D is a great contribution.
Xu Laowei joined the mainland 100 million yuan director club with this film, which somewhat put a fig leaf on his failure.
It's just that the fig leaf isn't very tight.
According to media statistics, the cost of "Seven Swords" is 150 million, and this time it is estimated that the loss will be close to 100 million.
Lu Ping'an's data is less than 50 million, because the copyright land sale is okay.
Therefore, it has become a fact that Xu Laowei has Waterloo again since "The Legend of Shu Mountain".
However, Xu Laowei's movie hitting the street did not affect other blockbusters.
Everyone doesn't think that this kind of thing will happen to them, after all, the plot of "Seven Swords" is indeed messy, and their own films, the more you watch them, the better, such as the great poet.
Many other producers turned their attention to 3D again, and with the blessing of 3D, the box office soared, which was very tempting, and then the number of business inquiries on Lu Ping'an's side rose again.
Lu Ping'an said that if this trend continues, 3D will stink the street soon, right?
But he soon saw it.
3D is a tool, and fans still have a good sense of this tool, and even if they start to feel disgusted, they don't rely on this thing to live.
And it is also beneficial for him if others do not use it well.
When a movie that can really play 3D comes out, the audience will be shocked or shocked, so just do your own thing.
followed by "Crazy Stone", which has been released in Xiangjiang at present, and the results are not bad, 9 million.
As a black humor movie with no Cantonese dubbing in the mainland, it is already very remarkable to be able to win this result, and it can already temporarily rank 8th in the annual list of Chinese films in the Xiangjiang area.
There are still four months left in 2005, and there are still a few more deceptions, and it is expected that "Stone" will be ranked in the top 15 Chinese films.
Just judging from this data, I have to say that the Xiangjiang film market has really languished.
is also for this reason, the producer of Cheng Long called again, with just one meaning, and then "Myth" will be scheduled to take care of it.
Of course, Lu Ping'an agreed, but that's all.
Look back at your own company.
At present, the projects that have been released in hand have basically come to an end.
And then there's what's going to be done.
In Hollywood, "Chainsaw 3" is ready to start filming, and the director Wen Ziren is the same as the original time and space.
Wen Ziren is full of confidence, with his eldest brother covering, he is energetic in everything.
Also full of confidence is Nolan.
Nolan called him a few days ago and said that he was going to make a movie called "Deadly Magic".
This is a high-scoring blockbuster.
But the original plane was losing money.
The cost is 40 million US dollars, and the box office is more than 100 million.
However, the cost of Nolan's filming will not be so high now, and now Nolan does not have the blessing of "Batman", and his salary has changed from more than 10 million to 2 million.
So in the future, this film is likely to be flat or even make a small profit.
Lu Ping'an waved his hand and patted!
If he says yes, he will support whatever he wants to shoot, and of course he has to talk about it.
Chinese are trustworthy.
"Death Day 2" also began to start, the director is not very famous, under the production center system, the director can do a good job as a worker.
That's pretty much the case with Hollywood projects, and there are a few other small-budget films that we can start when that's done.
And then there are the mainland.
"Painted Skin" is ready to start.
The pear went to Yinchuan yesterday, and the road in this province ran safely.
So you can accompany Yan Danchen in the next time.
In the evening, Lu Ping'an and his friends gathered for private dinner, and friends came and sat at a full table to celebrate Lu Ping'an winning the first feature film award.
After a lively meal, he dispersed and returned to the courtyard, Yan Danchen had already washed his name.
After the wind calmed down, the two snuggled up on the sofa as usual.
The "Chinese Army Soul" on TV is very imposing, and the famous "Bright Sword" has finally been broadcast.
Today is the eighth episode, Li Yunlong was almost besieged to death, Zhao Gang rescued the scene in time, and the rescued Li Yunlong met Li Xiuqin.
Yan Danchen sighed at this time: "At that time, the producer also looked for me. ”
"Really? Acting Xiuqin? ”
Lu Ping'an's face was full of surprise.
"No, it's another character, I forgot what it's called, what's wrong."
"Why didn't you go?"
"At that time, I was in the United States with you, how could I be free."
It turned out that in March last year, the two celebrated Yan Danchen's birthday in Lao Mei.
Yan Danchen asked: "What's the matter, is there something wrong with this drama?" ”
"No, hey, you should tell me, if I knew, I would have let you act."
"Why?"
"It's not easy, I think this film will definitely be a fire, the kind of fire."
"Oh, what a pity."
Yan Danchen sighed slightly, but there was no regret in his expression.
Sure enough, Yan Danchen hugged Lu Ping'an: "It's good that I have you." ”
"Since you say so, it can't be said that you won't get the name of the heroine of the 100 million yuan box office."
"Over 100 million box office, it's too much, haha."
Yan Danchenle blossomed, the two episodes of TV ended, and the topic returned to "Twenty Years Old Again".
At present, the work of "Twenty Years Old Again" has basically been completed, and there is only one casting problem left.
That is the "grandson" in the film.
The mainland version of the original time and space was played by Lu Han, a traffic mascot that pulled the box office.
Although Lu Ping'an does not need such a traffic mascot to pull the box office, he does not rule out pulling a similar character in.
After all, it's a commercial movie.
It's just a matter of who to turn to.
This actor should be a little fresh meat, he must have a certain popularity, his character must be good, he can play music best, and he can't be wood in terms of performance.
It's hard to find at this time of '05.
However, dedicated new producer Yan Danchen has overcome this problem.
She took out her notebook as if offering a treasure and said, "Show you a very interesting child." ”
Lu Ping'an's eyes were curious.
Soon, an "old acquaintance" appeared in the computer.
I saw the young man with a hair cover in the video dancing and answering the phone, and the scene was very interesting.
Yan Danchen smiled and asked, "This kid is interesting, right?" ”
Lu Ping'an smiled and nodded, and then asked, "Who is he, where did he find it?" ”
"My name is Xue Zhiqian, the top four of my show this year, the singing is very good, coincidentally, it is just right to be my grandson."
"Well, it's not bad."
Lu Ping'an continued to smile.
Xue Zhiqian, it's really okay.
"Did you invite him to audition?"
"I've made an appointment, I'll come to the capital after you finish the election, do you want to audition together?"
"Of course, you forgot that I'm the director?"
"I'm sorry, I've been in the drama these days, and I'm a little upset."
"You have to be the heroine to enter the play, hey, I really regret letting you make a cameo as a producer."
"I'm sorry, not next time, come, kiss."
