China Entertainment: Director’s Happiness Is so Simple

Chapter 113 Single Yuanyuan? Jiang Wen Is Finally Going to Change Lu Ping'an's Script!

During the post-production days, Lu Pingan and his friends would spend their evenings watching TV after get off work.

After entering April, the film market was not very active. Hollywood blockbusters were still rampant, and the rest were out of stock. The box office was similar to last year. Even for Hollywood blockbusters, the performance was only around 40 to 50 million.

It seemed that after the baptism of two blockbusters last year, the film market did not have much impact.

On the contrary, the TV drama market was bombarded with various classic TV dramas, and the entire TV drama market was very hot.

In March, CCTV's "The Golden Age" was released, and Chen Kun and Dong Jie became very popular. Liu Xixi also tasted the taste of being popular. However, she always asked Lu Pingan on QQ: "Pay attention to the xx program on xx channel this Friday!"

Lu Pingan replied: "I saw it, and my smile was full of teeth."

As a result, Liu Xixi covered her mouth whenever she smiled on the show later.

Chen Kun would occasionally send him text messages, saying that he was free recently and whether there was any new drama.

Lu Pingan likes this kind of directness. He directly replied: "In the next play, if you can beat Jiang Wen, I will give it to you directly."

Chen Kun replied: "Let's find someone to tie him up, and no one will know!"

Lu Pingan: "I will show him the text message."

So Chen Kun was blackmailed by Lu Pingan for several meals.

It was just a joke between friends. Lu Pingan thought it was quite fun when he had nothing to do.

Alec Su's version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" will also be broadcast in March. The great thing about Jin Yong's dramas is that they are not worried about sales. After the first round of broadcasts, the next round will be seamlessly connected.

Gao Yuanyuan's Zhou Zhiruo is still so classic, and Jia Jingwen is also good-looking. Lu Pingan sent a text message to Gao Yuanyuan: "Zhou Zhiruo is a little fat."

Lu Pingan and Gao Yuanyuan occasionally contact each other, but more often the other party will call during festivals and when Lu Pingan wins some honors.

Today, Gao Yuanyuan called directly for some reason.

"No, I'm already very thin."

During this period, Lu Ping'an found out that Gao Yuanyuan said that she liked the feeling of acting after finishing "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

Then he said directly: "Next time if you have a play and find me, my acting skills will make you look at me with new eyes."

It turned out to be a deal.

"Okay, when you are single, I will arrange a female lead for you!"

Lu Ping'an answered directly.

Since the nature of the old scumbag has been exposed, Lu Ping'an will not even blink when he says these words.

In fact, it seems that none of this girl's future works are really worth grabbing.

As for the other projects, I really can't think of any roles that are suitable for her for a while.

So sorry, Comrade Yuanyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan, who was sitting opposite, asked jokingly, "What if I'm single now?"

"Then I'll write a script for you on the spot."

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Well, I'm single now."

"Haha."

"Why do you laugh so strangely?"

"You'll experience it yourself."

Gao Yuanyuan continued, "It's true."

"I believe you, okay? I'm going to take a shower, let's talk later."

You're single, just like I said I'm single, do you think I believe it?

At the end of April, "The Perfect Match" was released, and Lu Ping'an still thinks Zeng Li is the most beautiful in the film.

On May 1, the childhood memory "Young King" was released, and Wu Qilong's hatred of stealing his wife! The film is still good.

But Lu Ping'an didn't have time to warm up, because the short film was completely completed in post-production.

On the same day, Jiang Wen strolled into the courtyard, and he didn't look very good.

Jiang Wen walked into Lu Ping'an's office in a sullen mood, without saying hello, and sat on the sofa like Ge You, and then stared at the ceiling in a trance.

Lu Pingan poured him some tea and jokingly asked, "What happened to you? Were you slashed?"

"Yes, I was slashed."

Jiang Wen still looked like a dead fish, as if he had lost his soul.

"What happened? Just tell me and have fun."

After hearing this, Jiang Wen didn't care about Lu Pingan's ridicule at all. He stood up and talked about what he had encountered recently.

What he was talking about was the "Barber" incident.

The director of the movie "Barber", Chen Yifei, is a top painter at the moment. It is said that a painting can be sold for tens of millions.

Later, Chen Yifei turned his attention to the film and television industry, wanting to create his own world in the film and television industry.

And "Barber" was the first work that Chen Yifei was going to direct. In 2001, this movie invited two big names, Jiang Wen and Ge You, to play the male lead and male second, and also invited Zhou Yun, a newcomer who had just graduated.

As a result, Jiang Wen and Ge You asked to change the script at the beginning. Chen Yifei spent nearly two months and changed it 8 times before he passed Jiang Wen's test.

When everyone finally waited for the start of filming, problems arose again.

Jiang Wen began to interfere with the filming, and Chen Yifei was not as easy to talk to as Lu Tailang, after all, Chen Yifei was both the director and the investor.

Over time, the conflict intensified, and finally Jiang Wen and Chen Yifei broke down.

It was not until March 2002 that the filming was finally stopped because of the quarrel. This time, they held the first meeting of the crew.

According to the staff present at the time, Jiang Wen listed Chen Yifei's 9 major sins at the meeting.

As for what these "9 sins" are, no one knows.

Faced with Jiang Wen's rebuke, Chen Yifei was not to be outdone, saying that Jiang Wen did not take his position properly, and that Jiang Wen was too wasteful in spending money, and that many unnecessary shots had to be shot over and over again.

In the end, Jiang Wen won the argument, because Jiang Wen was responsible for almost everything from site selection to actors to on-site lighting arrangements. To put it bluntly, Jiang Wen was the mastermind behind the show, and Chen Yifei was nothing more than a "puppet" who paid for it.

Finally, in April this year, just a few days ago, the filming of "The Barber" was stopped.

When Jiang Wen left, even Ge You and Zhou Yun left. Now that all the leading actors in the crew had left, they couldn't shoot anymore. Chen Yifei was so angry that he was hospitalized directly.

When things developed to this point, even if Jiang Wen had a great reason in art, it would be unreasonable.

And Lu Ping'an knew that the matter was far more than that.

Later in 2005, Chen Yifei decided to reshoot the show and chose Chen Kun and Zeng Li to star in it.

However, what was unexpected was that Chen Yifei died after just two months of filming, exhausted to death.

This also made Jiang Wen the target of criticism again, and many older generations scolded him half to death at that time.

"After all, he is a director for the first time, you should be more tolerant."

After listening to Jiang Wen, Lu Pingan advised.

"He is not suitable to be a director. The script is not good, the scheduling is not independent, and he is good at drawing. What kind of director is he?"

Jiang Wen still complained speechlessly, "If he is the same as you, can I quarrel with him?"

"..."

Lu Pingan scratched his head, it was not easy to answer this question, he simply asked directly: "Then he is in the hospital, did you visit him?"

"I saw him, but he didn't see him."

"You should find time to visit him more often. The old man is old, don't make trouble, otherwise it will be a black spot in your life."

After hearing this, Jiang Wen scratched his eyebrows and ears, drank a sip of tea, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "I want you to teach!"

Jiang Wen sometimes really wants to be a child.

Lu Pingan no longer dwelled on this topic.

After drinking some tea, Jiang Wen talked about the script of "The Platform".

"I have revised your script."

Lu Pingan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Is it his turn now?
