363 New people, new collaborations
Then visit the film festival.
There are many Chinese films shortlisted for the main competition unit of this film festival.
The opening film "1937", Wang Quanan's "Tuya's Marriage" and Fan Xiaopang's "Apple".
The non-competition unit includes Zhang Yang's "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots", Wanwan Zhou Meiling's "Tattoo", and the short film unit also has films directed by Wanwan.
Among them, Lu Ping'an and Wang Quanan's movie won the Golden Bear with the highest demand.
However, "1937" is still the most concerned.
Jiang Wen said proudly: "The day before yesterday, an old man didn't believe that it was filmed within two months after watching the movie, and said that we were cheating. ”
Lu Ping'an smiled and asked, "Then how did you reply?" ”
Jiang Wen: "What else can you say, in your Chinese English, it's the sentence that put your mother's fart." ”
Liu Qianqian: "What, why don't I know." ”
Zhang Songwen explained with a smile: "It's funny mud pee." ”
Liu Qianqian blinked, and after digesting it, she smiled so much that her gums were bigger than anyone else's.
The crowd laughed too.
It can be seen that the shock of "1937" to European filmmakers is indeed great.
While talking, a foreigner recognized Lu Ping'an, and then two groups of people came.
One is Jacques Levit, the director of France's "Don't Touch the Axe", who is not very familiar.
On the other hand, Park Chan-wook, director of South Korea's "Cyborg," and actors and actresses Jung Ji-hoon and Lim so-jing.
Zheng Zhixun is Rain, one of the hottest Asian male stars at the moment, not even one of them, Liu Qianqian was a little after seeing him, but in her opinion, Lu Ping'an is more handsome.
Lin Xiujing's words are not very familiar, but this girl is quite recognizable among South Korean actresses.
When the people of South Korea saw that Lu was safe, their attitude was obviously a little different from that of the French wave.
France's Livitte is level-eyed, and thinks that Lu Ping'an's peer is very awesome, after all, the movie is really fierce and the technology is superb.
In South Korea, there is some worship.
Soon Lu Ping'an knew the root cause, and director Park Chan-wook said directly: "Thank you Director Lu for making such a good movie and breathing a sigh of relief for our compatriots in the victim country." ”
Well, the friendship between China and South Korea depends on neon, and it is really not nonsense.
After a brief chat, Livitt left first, while those from South Korea stayed.
Since they were all on one side, then the group of people walked together.
During this period, Rain's agent is more likely to come to things, and he is looking for topics all the way, saying that Rain and Director Lu are the same age, and the people in the post-80s generation in Asia are the best balabala in Lu Ping'an, and the strongest post-80s generation in Lu Ping'an's heart is not me, but the one in your north
Obviously, he wants to pull a relationship, after all, Lu Ping'an is a big director above the first echelon in Asia.
It's not the point, the point is that he's all on the front line in Hollywood.
The value is huge.
His agent went on to say: "Now we Rain have participated in a Hollywood movie called "Speed Racers", directed by the Zoworski brothers, which will be released this year, and we will ask Lu Productions to give some guidance if he has time." ”
Tell me something, I'm done shooting.
And he knows that this movie costs 120 million US dollars, and the two brothers who have not yet publicly transgender are directed, but the box office is less than 100 million, a huge loss, what is there to advise.
However, it is clear that peace of mind is understood.
Lu Ping'an did not refuse this.
Rain is now super popular in Asia.
As a commercial director, it is absolutely beneficial to be able to cooperate with him to open up the South Korean market, further expand the Asian market, and realize the cultural export of his own films.
Of course, Lu Ping'an naturally won't open another movie.
Existing movies will do.
For example, "Kung Fu Panda", he participated in the recording of the soundtrack of "Kung Fu Panda" in the original time and space.
With his involvement, although it was only an original soundtrack and not a dubbing, the film also received excellent attention in South Korea.
This time, Lu Ping'an can still be copied.
So Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "Yes, let's talk about it when the time comes." ”
The assistant next to him handed out his business card.
His agent took it with both hands on the spot, and Rain also bowed happily to express his gratitude, which was respectful.
Liu Qianqian behind her raised the corners of her mouth when she saw this, her face was full of pride, look, what kind of Asian dance king, in front of my brother Ping'an, he is not a little brother?
Continue to walk and come to the screening unit, at this time I saw several yellow faces.
When a few people saw Lu Ping'an and his party coming, they warmly greeted him.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that this was Chinese.
Then after chatting, I knew that this was the person from the "Apple" project.
The leader is a tall man named Fang Li, who is the screenwriter and producer of "Apple".
This person Lu Ping'an was very impressed, and later "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" couldn't get the film schedule, this person knelt down in front of the camera and begged for the film schedule, which is a character.
Everyone met and chatted briefly, and Fang Li invited Lu Ping'an to watch the movie on the spot.
Liu Qianqian wanted to stop it on the spot, but at this point, she definitely couldn't say such a thing.
Lu Ping'an didn't have much idea about it.
When you go out, you are all Chinese filmmakers, so it is not a big problem to help stand on the platform.
The main reason is that I'm tired after shopping for so long, so it's not bad to sit down and appreciate Fan Xiaopang.
"Lu Dao, look first, Xiao Fan is also in Berlin, and he will come in a while."
Fang Li beckoned.
Lu Ping'an said it didn't matter, and then the group entered the theater to watch the movie.
After entering the venue, "Apple" has begun to play, and the number of people is okay, 3% of the attendance rate.
Everyone sat down and began to watch, and Liu Qianqian went to the toilet under the pretext of going to the toilet.
Lu Ping'an didn't bird her, it was normal for a little girl to be shy.
Then played, and soon came to the scene in the bathroom.
The uncut version is a bit exciting, and there is a leak, although it is a flash, but it can be seen that it is not big.
In fact, he had watched the movie many times before, so he was also thinking about something else when the movie was playing.
"Apple" is actually suspected of violating the rules this time, because it is a deleted version in China.
However, in the end, it can still be released in China, but it will not be long before it will be blocked, and the impact will not stop at this movie.
The reason is said to be related to the general environment.
Fan Xiaopang won the Berlin actress nomination for "Apple", and later won other actresses for this role, which can be regarded as a hit in her career.
Some people say that she sells meat, and there is no lower limit for acting in the third level.
But there is no lower limit soon.
After "Lust and Caution" won the Golden Lion Award in September this year, it caused a round of heated discussions, and Tang Wei was born so far, and it is said that the 30-second advertising offer has reached 6 million! made Tang Wei at that time overwhelm a group of actresses.
Soon, the people and capital in the entertainment industry seemed to realize something and began to learn from each other, and then various movies broke through the offline line, flaunted art, and were actually rubbing the edges.
Then I couldn't stand it anymore, and directly suppressed this unhealthy trend, so that domestic films have entered the so-called dark stage of some people, and the rules and regulations have become more.
Some people say that this kind of atmosphere was started by Lao Mouzi, and Naiko in "Golden Armor" caused a huge response, and Li An used "Lust and Caution" to completely open this taboo door, and then various directors followed suit.
But in fact, in Lu Ping'an's view, this is actually an inevitable direction for the development of films.
Since about 02, when private capital can make films, the domestic film industry has begun to enter the fast lane.
From ordinary movies to blockbusters, all kinds of themes are being tried, and the film market is getting bigger and bigger, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce.
At this time in 07, for a non-professional, non-system, and extremely ambitious actress like Fan Xiaopang, there are not many ways to choose if she wants to win a mainstream award without finding another way.
Coupled with the savage growth of capital, the "artistic pursuit" of directors and actors has become more and more open under the coercion of capital.
Fan Xiaopang is okay, Tang Wei is typical.
No one is looking for her to act, and others don't dare to act in "Lust and Caution", Tang Wei wants to come out, such a great opportunity to change his life against the sky is in front of him, do you catch it or not?
In the end, she caught it, and it became an instant hit and became an international hit.
In the end, the whole market gave birth to this "crooked fruit".
Compared with it, it is more similar, that is, the later "traffic star", but the product at that time was not as good as the current ban, and the traffic star needs to be slowly awakened by the people and realize that this kind of thing is not good, which will begin to slowly withdraw from the mainstream stage.
So from this aspect, Lu Ping'an is not ready to win the Golden Lion Award for "Lust and Caution", which is actually a good thing.
The movie continues, Apple and Tong Dawei have sex in the toilet, and then they are forced by Leung Jiahui, and then they find out that they are pregnant, and things are a mess.
Liu Qianqian also stepped on the point back at this time, but it was Apple herself who came in with her.
"Road guide, why don't you tell me when you come to Berlin, you will come to pick up the airport if you know it."
Fan Xiaopang naturally sat next to Lu Ping'an.
Lu Ping'an smiled: "How dare you let the actress pick up the plane."
At the end of the movie, everyone went back to the hotel, and they all stopped by the way.
Lu Ping'an, Fang Li and Jiang Wen chatted, and the rest of them chatted about their own.
Among them, Rain and Liu Qianqian had a good chat, Lu Ping'an pricked up his ears and listened, it turned out that Rain and his agent were getting information from Liu Qianqian.
Liu Qianqian blew the road safely to the sky, and there was nothing on the ground.
Do you still need to blow this?
Back at the hotel, Lu Ping'an first chatted with RAIN and them.
It's very simple, "Kung Fu Panda" to dub a voice.
Since the film is global, it has to extend its tentacles in the production stage.
Now I heard from his agent that Lu Ping'an's reputation in South Korea has reached a new high because of "1937", which is just enough to cut a wave of leeks.
The original version can do without him, but the South Korean version can, and I will talk about it when the time comes, so let's look forward to it.
When the other party heard it, this is a Sino-US co-production, and DreamWorks has participated in the investment, anyway, regardless of the project, no matter how it is, this is Lu Ping'an's movie, so I promised to talk about it first.
After getting the rain done, Lu Ping'an and Fan Xiaopang continued to talk about what they had talked about before.
Before chatting, Fan Xiaopang brought her mother and younger brother.
"This is my mother, this is my brother, called Fan Chengcheng."
Fan Xiaopang introduced them one by one.
Mother Fan looked at Lu Ping'an very happily: "Director Lu, I'm your fan." ”
"Thank you, aunt, for your love."
"Chengcheng, call my brother quickly."
"Hello brother."
"Hello."
Lu Ping'an looked at this little guy who was only 7 years old, and his first reaction was that this could not really be Fan Xiaopang's son.
Of course, he also knew that this was a joke, but the genes of this family were really similar when they were young.
After meeting, Fan's mother took Fan Chengcheng and left, and Fan Xiaopang and Lu Ping'an sat down to talk.
Now Fan Xiaopang's opening of a studio is on the line, anyway, she and Huayi will definitely leave after the expiration of their term this year.
Now there is only one question left, that is, whether Lu Ping'an can handle Huayi.
Huayi is supportive of cooperation, but it wants a bit more shares.
Of course, Fan Xiaopang didn't want to leave Huayi, and he was still controlled by them.
At this time, Lu Ping'an needs to take action.
Of course, it will be fine if Lu Ping'an breaks his promise, Fan Xiaopang is already prepared for the worst, and the owner is easy to find, but he will suffer a little.
At present, I am waiting for Lu Ping'an to talk to Huayi when he will talk to him.
It's just that Lu Ping'an has been busy, Fan Xiaopang said that he understands that it is normal for such a big thing as "1937" to be unable to get out of his body, but it can't be dragged on forever, right?
So at this time, she asked tactfully: "Road guide, what is your plan for me?" ”
"How did Mu Xiaoguang arrange it?"
"Film and television, and fashion."
"Almost, except that the emphasis is on the latter."
"Fashion?"
"Yes, with your face, there is no one in the country who can beat you, and you can get out."
Fan Xiaopang's strongest influence is in the fashion industry.
Especially Europe and the United States recognize this the most.
Many people in China think that if they want to break into Hollywood or something, they have to rely on acting skills, language or something.
In fact, Hollywood has a lower barrier to entry for the biggest names in the fashion industry.
What is the strongest blanket star, it is mostly ridiculed in China, but in Europe and the United States, she really has commercial value, and she is much bigger than other Asian actresses.
For example, this time in Berlin, this is the first time Fan Xiaopang has started his journey to the blanket star.
This time she brought four sets of clothes, which is very national charm, and Europe and the United States have a very high evaluation of her, which is true.
But many people in and out of the domestic circle ridiculed her for her position, and also said that she went to sell fans on the red carpet.
Fan Xiaopang said that she didn't care, she felt that with the high evaluation of Europe and the United States, it would be easier to mix when she went back.
But it's a pity that she and Mu Xiaoguang both think badly.
Since people approve it, why don't you take advantage of the victory to chase it.
With this influence in the fashion industry, it is easy to get out of the way by playing a supporting role in Hollywood and acting slowly.
Fan Xiaopang of the original time and space could have directly impacted Hollywood after the accident.
But maybe it was because there was no reliable way, or because of some other reason, she didn't do it.
Judging from Lu Ping'an's current understanding of Hollywood, Fan Xiaopang is really a pity.
After Fan Xiaopang heard this, he didn't bother with whether the focus was on film and television or fashion, anyway, Lu Ping'an had a plan, which meant that he didn't want to break his promise.
So she asked, "Lu Dao, my appointment with Huayi is about to expire." ”
"I know." Lu Ping'an nodded and said, "I will talk to Huayi in a few days, and you also let Mu Xiaoguang prepare, but there is one thing I want to say ahead." ”
"Don't break the law?"
"Yes, I'm not just talking."
"I understand."
Fan Xiaopang was happy, I don't know if I listened to it, but I was happy anyway.
As soon as he was happy, he wanted to drink, and Fan Xiaopang didn't care whether Lu Ping'an was willing or not, so he directly called for wine.
Then after thirty years, when the cup bottomed out, Fan Xiaopang asked: "Where is your room, it's not far away, I can't walk anymore." ”
"Not tonight."
Lu Ping'an shook his head calmly.
Fan Xiaopang looked complaining: "Not yet? ”
"yes, not really."
Lu Ping'an refused with a smile, and then said goodbye, without any nostalgia.
Fan Xiaopang gritted his teeth and muttered "fake serious" in his heart, but he did start to look impressed with him.
It's just that who would have thought that Lu Ping'an was really not available.
Yan Danchen is here, do you care about others?
