"When will our movie be promoted?"

The crew, Zhang Songwen also asked this question.

Lu Ping'an asked rhetorically: "1937" or "Bucket List"? ”

"It's all there."

"The Bucket List doesn't have to be too much trouble, just follow the plan."

The late stage of "Bucket List" has now been completed, and the schedule is also at the end of December, and it will meet with "Ink Attack" and "Golden Armor".

According to the practice of ordinary filmmakers, the other two have already started publicity, so they will definitely start a publicity war.

But this matter is different for Lu Ping'an.

He has an online ticketing system, a Douban website, a theater chain, and various Internet channels, and he doesn't have too many cards in his hand.

Of course, the most important thing is that he now has a very strong reputation.

So the timing is later than the other two movies, and it's still not a big problem.

Come to a screening and do word-of-mouth, and the box office will basically be stable.

The film with a score of 8.9 is not afraid of word-of-mouth collapse at all.

The rest is to see how bad the opponent is.

In fact, Lu Ping'an hopes that "Ink Attack" and "Golden Armor" can learn a little bit and shoot a little better than the original time and space.

After all, over the years, Xingchen's movies have won all the way, and the key point is that no matter how bad the script is, its lower limit will not be low.

Telling a good story is more important than anything else, followed by special effects, artistry, and so on.

This kind of wealth code, how can peers learn some of it?

But for now, it seems that this trend may not be very easy to change.

September's "Night Banquet" is still the same, and nothing has changed.

After the box office of "Night Banquet" fell short of expectations, Feng Dacang took "Assembly Number" to find a safe passerby for communication.

Lu Ping'an is also in the same circle, and the two have no contradictions, they can be regarded as friends and give two suggestions, one is that the weapons and equipment must conform to historical facts, and there are many military fans among netizens, so they must stand up to scrutiny.

The original version is that there are tank models that should not appear, and there are hard injuries such as anti-tank mines, which are criticized.

The second is the problem of the assembly number itself, in the form of deception, is it really appropriate?

Feng Dacang's attitude towards the former is to accept it gladly, but his attitude towards the second suggestion is intriguing, it seems that he wants to change but is afraid of trouble, and he seems to feel that Lu Ping'an's suggestion is not worth referencing.

Lu Ping'an didn't say much, although Xingchen also invested money in this film, but the contract said that he would not interfere with the creation, as Xingchen's projects would always explain.

In addition, this film is also making money in the original time and space, and the box office is not low, so it's good to say a suggestion, it's his business to listen to it or not, just make money yourself.

Having said that, Feng Cannon's status is not as good as Lu Ping'an, and Lao Mouzi estimates that it will be even better, and the plot may not be optimized at that time.

Lu Ping'an analyzed that in addition to the ideological shackles of the director himself and the constraints of the project production team, this is actually still related to the general environment.

Now they are still the top directors in China, and although the box office of Lu Ping'an's domestic films is high, it doesn't seem to be much higher.

"Wonderful Night 1" 400 million?

Because this is a family comedy, as well as the first 3D, under the influence of these factors, the reference is not high.

This year's summer file dominance?

This is a schedule bonus!

"Painted Skin" is the best example of this.

This film was not directed by Lu Ping'an, didn't it also get excellent results?

Therefore, the great directors may still not feel that Lu Ping'an is on a different path from them.

The reason why I can win all the time is just that I have a lot of technical skills, a lot of investment, and good luck.

Of course, some people will pay attention to core issues such as scripts, but there are only a few who can make blockbusters, the market pattern has not changed, and it is difficult for them to come out.

But that's okay, a few directors still play like this, for Lu Ping'an, the information gap still exists, isn't this just that he can keep winning.

Zhang Songwen then asked: "What about "1937"? ”

"Let's talk about this when it's almost finished."

Although "1937" has been officially announced, only part of the news has been released.

The director, the Nanjing theme, the title, and the rest are kept secret.

On the surface, that's all the public knows.

In fact, the core content of "one shot to the end" is still covered.

When it will be released, it will depend on whether the movie can catch up with the Oscar window.

If you can't catch up, then you can cover it for as long as you can, if you can catch up, Lao Hu has already prepared a plan, the funds have been completed, and the publicity budget of 20 million US dollars has been prepared, and the news of "1937" will sweep the world in a very short time!

"Okay, let's start shooting, all departments are in place"

。。。。。。。

Filming continues, and there is still news from the outside world.

India's "The Tuner" was released, and it is said that the response was very good.

The Korean version of "Twenty Years Old Again" has also been completed.

The Indonesian version is also about to be completed.

Everyone wants Director Lu Da to make an appearance in the past.

But Lu Ping'an refused.

Because time is really tight.

After entering October, some difficulties gradually increased during the filming.

For example, the equipment problem, the prototype broke down on the 16th, and it took two days to repair.

Fortunately, these two days were just enough for Ning Hao to take a breath.

After a month of shooting, he was already scarred by a back injury.

After the machine was repaired, the car responsible for loading the camera arm broke down again.

There is also inadequate makeup, which leads to goofs, so that it finally took 4 days to reach 99% of the shots and have to do it all over again.

There are also reshoots due to unexpected circumstances.

For example, in a long shot that requires the assistance of a car camera arm, the radio operator ran along, and one accidentally fell, causing him to be hit by a car at the same time.

That is, there is a buff, otherwise it is another serious accident, not a small scrape.

In fact, such small injuries happen all the time.

It's all normal bumps.

For example, Baoqiang and Zhou Zhouwei broke the soles of their feet.

The ensemble sprained his foot.

There are also gaffers who are knocked on the head by the equipment.

There are also burns during the fire scene and so on.

In short, all kinds of accidents happen almost every day.

The hardest part is actually the weather.

The sky is not beautiful, and when it rains, it will be endless.

The weather in the south is a bit of a stretch.

Fortunately, there was a plan to unify the ground into a muddy field, otherwise it would have delayed a lot of things.

So now it's just a matter of waiting for the rain to stop and you can play again.

But when will the rain stop?

As a last resort, the crew could only shoot two indoor scenes first.

As a result, the rain was intermittent during the shooting, and I thought I could shoot outdoors, but it rained again.

waited until a week and a half later, the indoor scene was filmed, well, the continuous light rain began to stabilize again, and it rained for three days in a row, I don't know when it will be completely over.

The crew, Lu Ping'an and everyone were barbecuing while looking at the rain curtain outside.

Zhou Yiwei sighed: "Isn't the rainy day in the south in the first half of the year? ”

Hengdian Xiao Xu answered: "This year is indeed a bit abnormal. ”

Zhang Yifan, who was in charge of editing, sighed: "What is this called, this is called the heavenly general to descend to the people, how do you say the next few sentences?" ”

Zhou Zhouwei: "You must first suffer its mind, strain its muscles and bones, starve its body and skin, and come to the chicken wings." ”

Everyone laughed.

Although the weather was not good, it did leave another rare rest time for the crew.

It has been nearly a month and a half since the start of filming, and the overall process is 5 days ahead of the original plan.

Now I have lost three days due to the rain, but there are still two days to spare, so the big guys are actually quite relaxed.

With such a relaxed atmosphere, everyone simply took advantage of another barbecue time to make a summary and then brag about it.

Friends from all over the world got together, in addition to professional actors, everyone had different accents and experiences, and the scene was very joyful.

Two days later, it seemed that God had taken a look at the crew's liver for five days of extra time, and it didn't rain again after the rain stopped that morning.

The crew scolded in their hearts, but the movements in their hands were still sharp.

Five days were not wasted, and the rehearsal had already been rehearsed several times.

Lu Ping'an's side also spent these five days going through the post-production, which is very efficient, because it is a shot to the end, so the current shot and editing have basically been completed.

So the next step is to "start from scratch", but everyone is still confident that they can get everything done before the scheduled date.

Sure enough, it was November 13th.

"1937" lasted 58 days and ushered in the last finale.

I saw Lu Ping'an give an order.

The makeup was more sad than at the beginning, and Monday surrounded the painting.

The camera swept between the wounded soldiers, conscripts, wounded soldiers, gauze, blood, corpses, soldiers, refugees, hurried, orderly and chaotic.

The protagonist walks through the scenes of the wounded barracks and the refugee camp, asks the target one by one, and finally finds the widow of the reporter that the officer just mentioned.

He came to the female reporter played by Yan Danchen and told the news of Zhang Songwen's sacrifice, Yan Danchen fell into a collapse, tears flowed down, the protagonist didn't bother much, and handed the film to the baby in her hand.

Then he continued to walk under a big tree, looked in the direction of the distant house, showed a resolute look, and then turned back firmly, and came to the officer just now to ask to join the team.
