China Entertainment: Director’s Happiness Is so Simple

Chapter 329 Oolong, Threat

When Lu Pingan said he would make a film, the Chinese people were jubilant.

The people shouted, "Great job!"

When a big boss is going to make a move, the feeling is naturally different.

How could Lu Pingan's film be bad?

Not only is it not bad, but it can also be on the international stage!

Maybe it can even win an Oscar!

If that's the case, then the significance of this Oscar is equal to countless little golden men of "Brokeback Mountain"!

Even if he didn't win the award, Director Lu is an internationally renowned director who just left a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

If he wants to make a film, the volume will definitely not be small!

For a while, the Internet was jubilant, and then associations were made

Peers, advertisers, film producers, and brokerage companies also sent cooperation applications to Xingchen at the first time.

Friends also called or texted Lu Pingan at the first time.

Asked if he really wanted to make a film, and asked if he could join, even if he didn't get paid.

Even his uncle called and said that the original owner's grandfather had also experienced the Anti-Japanese War and left some diaries, and could provide information.

This made Lu Pingan look confused.

Although, he does have several related films that can go international.

For example, "Life is Beautiful".

For example, the film he prepared for the failure to be selected for the Olympics, which was used to compensate the youngsters in the team.

But these movies and plans are now in his mind, how do others know?

And even if they really want to shoot, it's not now.

He is so busy now.

"Peak 3" has not been finished.

After this movie is finished, there is "Batman 2".

After the two movies are finished, it will be the Olympics.

Well. Although there is still plenty of time, it is really a stretch for the movies he has planned.

So Lu Ping'an has realized that this is either a misunderstanding or someone wants to mess with him.

In comparison, he is more inclined to believe that this is a misunderstanding.

Because he knows that Lu Chuan's "Nanjing Nanjing" started preparations around this time.

He also knows what Lu Chuan will experience next.

It was about the same time that Lu Chuan submitted the script of Nanjing Nanjing for review. Before the film project was approved, Lu Chuan borrowed 1 million yuan from everywhere and took the lead in forming a crew.

Then he soon received news from the superiors and was advised to temporarily stop the film plan. It was said earlier that there were four or five films waiting in line at the same time, with directors such as Zhang Yimou, Tang Jili, and American and German directors.

And Lu Chuan had no absolute advantage at all, whether in terms of film application time or seniority in the film industry.

But Lu Chuan still did not give up. As a result, at the end of the year, he received news from the Film Bureau: the project of Nanjing Nanjing had been rejected.

The stubborn Lu Chuan continued to insist. He continued to go through various complicated procedures and tried his best to communicate with all those who could be related to the film, trying to impress the relevant leaders with sincerity. He even posted the word "die-hard" directly in a prominent position in the crew to motivate himself.

Then in December 2006, Lu Chuan and producer Qin Hong were taken directly to Zhongnanhai to meet a key figure. After many twists and turns, they finally got the filming permit in December 2006.

After that, the "Nanjing Nanjing" project experienced a series of events such as investor withdrawal, script leakage, crew corruption, group fights among extras, etc., which can be said to be full of hardships.

After the movie came out, the hardships were still there, because Lu Chuan became Lu Tailang.

So Lu Ping'an felt that the media might have mistaken "Lu" for "Lu".

If that's the case, it's really speechless.

Before I thought about it, Wu Guohua called again and said that the mainland had clarified it.

It was indeed "Director Lu" who was mistaken for "Director Lu".

A misunderstanding, which made people laugh and cry.

But the matter was not over yet.

Not long after Wu Guohua hung up the phone, Wattsberg came.

"Lu, you'd better take a look at this."

"What's wrong?"

"Take a look first."

Wattsberg put the laptop in front of him.

After reading it, Lu Ping'an frowned instantly.

Director Lu actually received a death threat email from Xiao Ri Zi! !

. . . . . .

In the San Francisco "Peak 3" crew, Cheng Long communicated with the police and used his influence to put pressure on them.

Wattsberg and Dell brought by Hu Qingquan were also putting pressure on them.

This kind of thing really exceeded the bottom line.

Hu Qingquan, who rushed from Los Angeles after hearing the news, cursed.

"Heartbroken, absolutely heartbroken!"

Lu Ping'an calmed Hu Qingquan's emotions, but it was not so easy for Hu Qingquan to calm down.

His beloved disciple was threatened with death, and it was about this kind of thing.

This was a double anger from the perspective of individuals and the nation.

Then the matter was tossed until the afternoon. After the police said they would try their best to investigate, everyone was free.

Then everyone gathered together to discuss what to do next.

Obviously, Lu Ping'an suffered an unexpected disaster this time.

"Director Lu" was changed to "Director Lu".

It is not just the Chinese who are misled, but also people who live a normal life.

Director Lu is so awesome.

He is the most popular director in the world in recent years.

He has won many box office awards.

And none of his previous movies are bad.

The most important thing is that Lu Ping An has an advantage that other Asian directors do not have, that is, he has a base in the United States, not just a director.

In addition, the expectations of the domestic public are extremely high, saying that the movie will be nominated for an Oscar!

So if he really makes a movie about the Japanese invasion of China, some extremists in Xiaorizi will be uneasy.

Then the relevant threats were sent to Dingfeng's official email.

If you dare to make it, don't come to Japan in the future, don't think about your movie being nominated for an Oscar, you Dingfeng will not be able to make it, and you Lu Ping'an should also be careful about your life.

The tone is very arrogant, but considering that Xiaorizi is indeed influential in the United States, we can't take it lightly.

This is Dell's advice.

People who do public relations know the relevant situation best.

Hu Qingquan agreed directly, and then he would increase security for Lu Ping'an.

As for whether the incident should be made public, everyone's opinions are also unanimous.

Since it was a misunderstanding, Lu Ping'an himself didn't plan to make it, so there was no need to make it public.

If it is made public, and you don't make it, it will cause a lot of trouble.

As for getting back the place, asking for an apology, etc., whether the police can dig out the murderer, everyone actually doesn't hold out hope, and the other party probably won't continue to do so, after all, the misunderstanding has been clarified.

If there is a chance in the future, we will get back the place.

Of course, if Lu Ping'an has a plan to shoot, this point can be used.

But this kind of thing is not easy to operate.

Shooting ordinary movies is meaningless to Lu Ping'an.

High-quality movies are not easy to come by.

The key is that it is useless to just shoot high-quality movies. You have to win awards, and it is best to win international heavyweight awards.

Because this matter is no longer a simple movie issue.

Only with the blessing of heavyweight awards can you take advantage of the situation to achieve the desired results.

But it is not easy to win international heavyweight awards.

In Dell's words: There is one thing you must know, whether you accept it or not, in the mainstream Western society, the Japanese invasion of China has been ignored for a long time in the Western society. The Western society recognizes that there is only one type of victims of World War II, that is, Westerners, whether they are Anglo-Saxons or Jews, in short, they are not yellow people, and movies of this type can only be won by Westerners themselves. Lu, if you want to shoot and want to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, it will be several times more difficult than letting "The Promise" win the Best Foreign Language Film.

After all, movies are art.

Art is subjective.

Therefore, Chinese-related themes, or all themes that can win awards, more or less carry the "banned film" gene, such as "Devils on the Doorstep".

Lu Ping'an obviously can't shoot this kind of thing, and he may not be able to shoot it.

And if it is a positive interpretation, unless the movie can achieve artistic innovation and crushing, it can make up for the gap of 10,000 kilometers behind the starting line.

Otherwise, forget it.

Cheng Long, Hu Qingquan and other Chinese people heard this and sighed slightly.

This is an objective fact, and you can't refuse to accept it.

However, everyone's overall mood is still unaffected.

After all, it was a misunderstanding, and there was no plan to shoot it. Today, they only sat together because of the "threatening email".

In addition, if you want to win an award in the future, just avoid this kind of subject matter.

So after everyone chatted for a while, this time was basically over.

However, at this time, Lu Ping'an said: "Artistic flow is not okay, technical flow is always okay, right?"

Everyone looked at Lu Ping'an's confident look, and they were surprised, their eyes lit up, and then they quickly became interested
