On the 19th, the day of the first round of the election came.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Lu came to the company safely, and dozens of people in the Olympic group had arrived.

At this time, everyone's eyes were full of confidence and expectation.

Although everyone already knows that if Lu Ping'an wants to be really elected, it will be very difficult.

But who else can you support if you don't support your own boss?

And everyone doesn't think that Lu Ping'an is not competitive at all.

After all, the boss is always working miracles.

"Boss, come on!"

"Boss, a few of us have already worshiped the Buddha yesterday, you can go boldly and boldly!"

"Me too, but I'm worshipping Master Guan."

The foreigner special effects agent in the company also chimed in: "I worship Jesus." ”

Lu Ping'an laughed: "You are so religious, so many immortals can't do anything without fighting?" ”

The crowd laughed and the atmosphere was cheerful.

After calming down, Lu Ping'an said to everyone seriously:

"It's been hard work for everyone these days, if the result is not good, I promise, I will definitely give everyone Oscars in the future!"

The Olympic team is temporarily selected by various departments of the company.

As Yang Lan said, planning an opening ceremony and planning a movie are actually not very different in the planning stage.

All the clerical and technical departments perform their own duties, and the director's ideas are slowly realized.

For example, this time he went to Kuangou for the first round of the election, and Lu Ping'an brought paper documents and models in addition to digital files.

The division of labor of the team is actually similar to the division of labor when preparing for a movie, and the workload is sometimes not larger than the actual preparation of a movie.

So the experience of making a creative plan for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was actually an excellent experience.

Now things are doing very well, which proves that the team works together very well.

An excellent team deserves to be honored.

I don't know whether the Olympic glory can be won or not, and this is not under my control.

But as a film director, it's okay to fight for the world's top film honors for everyone.

Even if it's a nomination, a group of people in the team win a stack of nominations, and that's a big deal.

When the people heard this, their faith was again greatly increased.

"Don't worry, boss, it will definitely succeed!"

"Yes, boss, you can boldly move forward!"

“.”

The crowd stirred up again.

Lu Ping'an didn't talk nonsense, and after giving everyone a chic salute, he set off to Kuangou with a few main responsible persons.

The first round of the election was held on the 19th in BJ Kuangou.

Once at the place, it was less than 20 minutes before the official start.

It doesn't seem to be very positive, but in fact the team is in the majority at this point in time.

Even Lao Mouzi didn't come, and it wasn't until there were 10 minutes left that Lao Mouzi arrived with supplies.

No nonsense, the heads of 13 teams came in.

At a glance, they are basically acquaintances.

Li An, the great poet, Lao Mouzi and so on.

and Cui Jian is also there.

Cui Jian is wearing a white red star baseball cap, a casual suit and jeans, and he looks very energetic, but he always feels that his whole body exudes a rock 'n' roll smell.

The great poet has his hands behind his back, his suit is straight, his shirt collar is open, he wears sunglasses, he is very angry, arrogant and arrogant, and he is like a leader when chatting with French director Yin Wensi.

Lao Mouzi was still silent, sitting there with his hand and chin nodding his chin and not knowing what he was thinking, he saw Lu Ping'an and smiled: "Congratulations, when will your movie be released?" ”

"It will not be released in the mainland, but it will be screened at Nortel this Friday, and Director Zhang is welcome to give advice if he is free."

"I can't advise, I still like your movies very much"

The two chatted familiarly, without any contradiction from the outside world.

In fact, there is really no contradiction between the two.

The contradictions are all in Zhang Weiping.

In addition, Lao Mouzi was scolded in Athens for 8 minutes before, and Lu Ping'an said some fair things at that time.

Now Lao Mouzi has no opinion on Lu Ping'an.

After a brief chat, Li An on the side also smiled and stepped forward to say something, but before he could speak, the people from the coordination team arrived.

Soon after a brief remark, the draw began.

The 13 teams will decide who will go first in the order of drawing lots, and each team will have a time limit of 50 minutes, and the team will submit the plan first, and then the team leader will make a statement.

In this way, one day is not enough, so the lottery numbers also have advantages and disadvantages to a certain extent.

The last one in line is of course the best, because it starts the next day.

The worst is probably in the top five, because there must be a disadvantage if it is too early.

The 9 judges are also not robots and have limited energy.

Lu Ping'an was the first to draw, the number was 13, and the last one.

He is still very happy with this number, and his birthday is also the 13th.

Lao Mouzi 12, after drawing it, he was slightly stunned, and gave the assistant next to him a look or something, and then both of them laughed.

Lu Ping'an's first reaction was that Lao Mouzi shouldn't put the twelve heavenly stems or the twelve zodiac signs into his creativity.

In the end, Cui Jian drew the first, Li An second, and the great poet eighth.

The great poet was very happy, the number 8 is too auspicious.

And calculate the time, the eighth place is likely to be the first statement tomorrow.

As a result, the staff quickly announced: the first eight are ready to present today

The draw is over, and the next step is the statement.

Lu Ping'an is tomorrow, so at this time, I will follow the other four groups and prepare to go back first, leaving only a few people here, well, the main thing is to see how long it takes for the great poet to go in and come out, whether it is like the rumors that he will be blasted out directly after chanting the poem.

But it's a pity that at 10 o'clock in the evening, Lu Ping'an received a call, and the great poet still stayed for an hour like the rest, and I don't know if there is a poem, and the secrecy is very strict, and it is estimated that this kind of small gossip will not be made public until the matter is settled.

Early the next morning, Lu Ping'an arrived at the scene again.

This time it was much faster, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Ping'an finished his final statement.

The first round of the election is over, and Lu Ping'an is relaxed.

The next round will be in January '06, and it will not only be about creativity and understanding of the Olympics and Chinese culture.

There are also as many as 22 indicators such as team and individual ability.

But I won't think much about Lu Ping'an.

So for Lu Ping'an, the task of the Olympics has basically been completed.

The good impression must have been left behind, bringing a trunk full of display materials and several digital documents.

It's definitely not good to compare with Lao Mouzi's two big carts of supplies, but no matter how good it is, it's better than a great poet who came empty-handed.

Creative ability is also manifested.

There were judges on the scene who said yes.

That's enough.

So the next step is to listen to the organization.

After the election, Lu Ping'an returned to the company.

The Olympic team was temporarily disbanded, and everyone's focus returned to their own careers.

There's a lot going on.

The most recent one is about "Twenty Again".

On the same day, Xingchen Film and Television officially announced the project, which attracted enough attention in the industry for the first time.

"Lu Ping'an's new movie "Twenty Years Old Again" is about to start"

The theme of the movie can be seen from the name.

Again, that's the same sentence.

This kind of subject matter may not be so fresh in five or six years.

But now it's 05.

And it is also the work of Lu Ping'an, who is longer than the brain hole movie.

So countless fans also cheered for the first time: "Lu Ping'an's brain hole is back!" ”

It's like Lu Ping'an has no brains during this time.

However, it is understandable that everyone is looking forward to it.

Lu Ping'an's last movie was "Batman", which is not particularly in line with the taste of the Chinese people.

The last movie "Wonderful Night" was more than a year ago.

"Initial D" has already been filmed, but this is not a brain movie.

Therefore, everyone thinks that the Lu'an signboard tree is here, but it has not opened for a long time, so they will naturally shout "I am grateful for waiting for the flowers"

As soon as the "Twenty Years Old Again" project was officially announced, the popularity increased.

There's no synopsis, there's no other information, and that alone works so well.

Once again, industry insiders were surprised by Lu Ping'an's appeal.

Of course, it is more important to come to consult whether you can participate.

Investors, advertisers, and more.

Banknotes are waved and the amounts are huge.

Of course, Lu Ping'an welcomes it.

Commercial films, why do you want to refuse to make money?

"Twenty Years Old" is a movie with a modern background, which is very suitable for advertising.

The production cost budget is 8 million, and in the end, at least 30 million can be recovered by advertising sponsorship alone.

The extra money is just enough to pay his salary, and if it is not enough, it will be deducted from the box office at that time.

Are Hollywood's 20 million directors joking?

Filming movies in the mainland will be discounted, but no matter how you play, you have to charge tens of millions of yuan.

All parties have no opinion on this, and the signboard of Lu Ping'an is here after all.

Investment and sponsorship will start the day after tomorrow.

If you want to stuff the actors, forget it, because the actors are basically set, unless you add money.

Lu Ping'an is so realistic.

The next day, Xingchen released the latest news of "Twenty Years Old Again".

The heroine, the youth version is played by Yan Danchen, and the elderly version is played by Wu Yanshu.

The briefest synopsis of the plot was also released: Shen Mengjun, a septuagenarian lady, returned to daily life with a new identity after transforming into Meng Lijun, a young woman, through a youth photo studio, which triggered a series of ironic and touching stories.

The heroine movie has made some male fans lose interest, but there are losses and gains, and many female fans are dazzled.

At present, commercial movies with big heroines in domestic films are still very rare, and there are not many big heroine movies in the world.

At the same time, at the moment of 05 years, female young people in major cities are also slowly "awakening".

It can be said that the prospects for women's films will not be bad.

In fact, the great success of "Du Lala's Promotion" later caught up with this outlet.

Lu Ping'an feels that "Twenty Years Old Again" will not be as sensational and successful as "Durala", but the box office performance will not be too bad.

Besides, he really doesn't rely on the box office.

Everyone doesn't think that Lu Ping'an has box office pressure.

is not only because of Lu Ping'an's past achievements, but also because Xingchen Film and Television announced the copyright transaction.

At present, "Twenty Years Old Again" has not yet started filming, and the lower limit of the remake rights transaction price has been locked to $2.4 million, which has already made a profit, and 2.4 million was bought by Neon and South Korea respectively, and the remaining two countries are ready to join, and the future film will only be higher.

The enthusiasm of the film business is high, which is the embodiment of the guarantee of the film.

In addition, the movie can be exported abroad in reverse, which makes everyone feel that it has to be a road guide!

So the attention of the movie continues to climb.

Subsequently, the two heroines rushed to the hotspot.

The two actors did not shoot first.

They have some fame in their own right, and this time they took the helicopter again.

This makes many actresses in the industry blush.

But the pit is limited, and it is not easy to win a face.

At this time, the advantage of having someone above is reflected.

Qin Lan was in an extremely comfortable mood at the moment, and she couldn't wait to announce to the world that my best friend was Yan Danchen!

"What's the fun, it's here."

At this time, Yan Danchen reminded him, which pulled Qin Lan out of his fantasy.

The two entered the office building hand in hand, got out of the elevator on the 8th floor, and saw the high-end decoration of Xingchen Film and Television.

After following Yan Danchen into the door, the two went to the conference room.

Along the way, it is indispensable to visit the showcase.

"Little gold man, is it pure gold?"

Qin Lan's eyes were full of desire.

Yan Danchen didn't pay much attention to it, because it was the first time she had come back here.

But she didn't have any other ideas.

Everyone has been taken down by themselves, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Soon the two of them arrived in the conference room.

Then actors came in one after another.

When Wu Yanshu came in, Yan Danchen greeted him warmly, and then the conference room quickly became lively.

After a while, the leading actors of "Twenty Years Old" were all in place.

Everyone chatted, and after chatting for a long time, Lu Ping'an came.

Qin Lan's eyes lit up, it was the first time she had seen Lu Ping'an in reality, and she was really handsome and manly.

No wonder Xiao Ming said that he was ashamed to see him hurt himself

Without waiting to think about it, Lu Ping'an spoke: "Welcome, everyone."

After a period of greetings, I began to read the script.

The actors in the audience quickly got to work.

At present, the roles of the movie have been decided.

"Dad" uses Wang Zhiwen, not to mention this person's acting skills, he is also in the trough period at present, cheap, and even makes a personal favor.

Wang Zhiwen took the call without any hesitation.

"Servant" Wang Deshun, elderly actors are not easy to find, 70-year-old Wang Deshun is still more suitable.

It was the same after he received the call, he was filming in Hainan and directly bought a ticket to fly to the capital, for fear of missing the opportunity.

It is indeed not easy for elderly actors to get this kind of opportunity.

"Daughter-in-law" Xu Di, now 47 years old, she looks dirty, but she actually doesn't look so old, and her acting skills are also good.

After Yan Danchen contacted her, he also took it without hesitation.

"Granddaughter", a soy sauce role that is okay in the role, Yan Danchen asked the road safely when casting, can you use Qin Lan.

Lu Ping'an agreed with a smile.

Yan Danchen fought for resources with him several times for this girlfriend, but Lu Ping'an didn't agree.

But this time it's her own movie, and this small request can certainly be met by Lu Ping'an.

For the role of "Music Director", Yan Danchen wants to use Xie Tingfeng.

A few days ago, there was a ranking of the most popular actors on the Internet, and Xie Tingfeng ranked first, and his popularity was extremely high.

But Lu Ping'an didn't like it very much, so he retreated and chose Huang Xiaoming, mainland artists playing the role of "music director" will be a little bit of a drama at the moment, but it is not a big problem, and who made him Yan Danchen's classmate, and he is also Qin Lan's boyfriend at present, they are all familiar with it, and it is more suitable.

It's just that Huang Xiaoming is filming "Night Banquet", which will not be completed until January, and the schedule is conflicting.

Huang Xiaoming shouted a pity for this.

But there is no way, Lu Ping'an can't wait for him.

Finally, the clap Yanzu.

With the role of "Azu", Yanzu is also very popular in the mainland, which is very suitable.

After receiving the call, Yanzu answered it without hesitation.

followed by "Assistant", who is the follower of the music director in the film, who does not have many scenes, and plays the role of soy sauce.

Lu Ping'an gave an acquaintance, Liu Yan, whose appearance has not been trimmed yet.

When the time comes, a career line will be exposed, and it is estimated that it will be popular.

In terms of "elderly heroine", Yan Danchen was interested in Gui Yalei at the beginning, and she was also the original elderly heroine, but there is one point, the two are not very similar, Gui Yalei has dimples, Yan Danchen does not, it is too abrupt.

In fact, the resemblance is secondary, mainly because this version of "Back to Twenty Years Old" is biased towards the South Korean version, the heroine is because her husband died in the army, and she raises the child alone, and the weight of life has pressed a flower-like girl into a somewhat annoying old lady, and her appearance has become rough and ugly, unlike the elderly version of the heroine in the mainland, who looks like a rich old lady.

The film is partly borrowed from the South Korean version, that is, it will be depicted in more depth in terms of character design.

The mainland version of "Twenty Years Old Again" is not very easy to cry, especially after watching South Korea.

It's just that according to the South Korean version of the character, such an old lady has to be spicy and down-to-earth, Gui Yalei is too elegant and refined, and she is not old enough.

Lu Ping'an thinks Li Mingqi is good.

is wild enough, when he returned to his youth, Yan Danchen could also create a greater contrast when he acted.

But the problem is that Yan Danchen has no confidence and is afraid that he will not act well.

It's not a psychological problem, it's a real technical problem.

The greater the contrast, the more you have to test your acting skills, and it is easy to use too much force to make your facial features fly wildly.

And the current Yan Danchen is obviously not really taking the acting route.

So in the end, after twists and turns, I finally settled on my old friend Wu Yanshu.

The plot has also been slightly modified to become closer to the mainland version.

Wu Yanshu looks very elegant, but in fact, the old lady's acting skills are very good, and she can perform a spicy feeling.

And she has been shaped by the role of the short film "The Tuner", and the audience will have such an impression in their hearts.

Wu Yanshu also mentioned this, saying that there are still people looking for him to play a bad grandmother.

It just so happens that this time through this role should be able to wash her up.

and then there is the young version of "Old Li Tou" who rides a motorcycle at the end of the film.

The South Korean version is that Kim so-hyun made a cameo.

Lu Ping'an found Guorong to make a cameo this time, which was a big surprise.

The last is "grandson" Xue Zhiqian.

Compared with the above people, Xue Zhiqian is obviously a rookie among rookies in the actor's field.

However, Lu Ping'an still has confidence in him.

This young man's acting talent is actually stronger than that of most of the little fresh meat actors later.

This can be seen from the TV roles he later participated in.

During the audition, Lu Ping'an asked him: "When you are finally convinced that the girl in front of you is actually your grandmother, how will you react?" ”

I don't know if Xue Zhiqian was too nervous or what, blurted out Bai Jingjing's lines in "Journey to the West": "I don't seem to have brushed my teeth yet." ”

It's very natural, stupid and cute.

That's interesting.

It's not a particularly big highlight, but at least it's passable.

Lu Ping'an gave it directly.

Of course, the main reason is because of Yan Danchen.

Mrs. hand-picked, so Xue Zhiqian, this young man, must be lucky.

However, Xue Zhiqian is not bad, although the pie from the sky has made him slow down for a long time.

But in the end, the mentality is still very accurate.

Before the end of the script reading meeting, he gave a big salute to Lu Ping'an and the actors: "Director Lu, thank you very much for taking a fancy to me, I haven't learned acting, but I will study hard, teachers, please give me more advice in the future, it's okay to scold me and beat me."

"Okay, okay, relax, I don't eat people."

Lu Ping'an looked kind.

Xue Zhiqian quickly relaxed.

It's just that Lu Ping'an said again: "If you don't act well, you will be fired at most, and then go to the newspaper to publicize it, saying that Xue Zhiqian is nothing!" ”

Xue Zhiqian: (ω)!

Hahaha.

Everyone in the company laughed.

Qin Lan leaned close to Yan Danchen's ear and asked, "Is the road guide usually like this?" ”

Yan Danchen smiled slightly: "Cherish the present, he will become another person after turning on the machine." ”

Qin Lan: (⊙_⊙) ?

Three days later, "Twenty Years Old" was launched in Beijing.

The estimated shooting time is 40 days.

On the same day, "Painted Skin" was also launched in Yinchuan.

It's just that Zeng Li, who became the heroine of a big production for the first time, is not in a very beautiful mood at the moment.

The woman's sixth sense told her.

Lu Ping'an's "Twenty Years Old" crew is tired!
