Chapter 367 Zigong Redeems People

"Would you like to say a few words to the audience in front of the TV? I wish you all good luck, eternal youth, and prosperity in the new year! I wish all Chinese and overseas Chinese good luck and prosperity in the year of the pig."

"Of course I am in a good mood now. What I want to do most is to take a good rest during the Spring Festival. I have been working non-stop since the end of the year before last. I made the Olympic plan, filmed "The Bucket List", "Peak 3", and "1937". Now I am still filming "Batman 2". I really want to rest."

"What do you want to eat the most? I want to eat everything. Wow, this matter cannot be discussed. I haven't had a proper Chinese meal for several months. , don't ask, just skip it, you won't be able to sleep at night. "

"What are your expectations for the Oscars? Of course it would be best if you can win an award."

"What do you think of the social impact of "The Bucket List"? Does it promote tourism? First of all, I hope everyone can be healthy. Secondly, I think as a director, my works can be liked and highly praised by the majority of movie fans, and have a positive effect on the public and society. This is really a very meaningful thing. I will continue to work hard in the future and strive to make more works that are meaningful to society."

After the award ceremony, Lu Ping'an was interviewed in front of a group of reporters with the Golden Bear trophy in his hand.

After the simple interview, Lu Ping'an turned to take photos with a group of filmmakers.

The foreigners were very enthusiastic. Not only did they take photos with him, but they also took the opportunity to say a few words, as if Lu Ping'an was a superstar.

It is understandable that before, "Brokeback Mountain" basically only made him an international director.

Now, through a difficult work, and it was shot under special circumstances, this directly made him a well-known figure among the ranks of international directors.

This also gave Lu Pingan a legendary color.

After all, which famous director present didn't have a legendary story?

Some invented movies, some made great contributions to film technology, some won honors that others could not reach in their lifetime, some won the highest box office in the world, some had a particularly bizarre love story, and some went to the most dangerous place in the world to shoot movies.

In short, those who became legends have different "legendary colors".

Lu Pingan spoke for the Asian War of Resistance and encountered death threats. This is his legendary highlight.

Of course, highlights can be big or small. Lu Pingan's light this time is not very bright in the entire international film history. If Lu Pingan really wants to become a legend that must be mentioned in the international film industry in the future, he still has a long way to go.

Lu Pingan doesn't care about this.

What legend is not legendary.

Anyway, being happy is the most important thing.

Lu Pingan smiled and walked into his relatives and friends to enjoy the joy.

After the award ceremony, Lu Pingan attended the cocktail party, which lasted until 12 o'clock in the evening.

At the cocktail party, he had a good chat with everyone present, especially those who came from China.

The atmosphere was very good, including when I chatted with Chen Hong.

Chen Hong's presence actually explained some of her positions.

Although Chen Hong and the great poet must have had reasons to get along, she is not a great poet after all. In short, she looked more sober. When talking to Lu Pingan, she was not pretentious and said directly that there was actually no conflict between them, but Lao Chen was like that. He put himself on the line. It was not easy to come down. However, after the failure of "The Promise" this time, he became much more sober. I hope everyone can sit down and have a good tea in the future.

Anyway, that's what I meant. Chen Hong had a good attitude and said a lot of good things for the great poet.

Regardless of whether the great poet was really "sober" as she said, in such an occasion, Lu Pingan would definitely not turn his face to Chen Hong. After all, there was no need to create opposition.

Not only that, Lu Pingan also gave Chen Hong enough face in front of everyone, saying that they could communicate more about projects in the future. Anyway, it was confirmed that it was the great poet himself who was making trouble, and it had nothing to do with me, Lu Pingan.

Chen Hong was very happy. Now she is no longer just an actor, but a producer.

Being able to formally communicate with Xingchen on behalf of the great poet is extremely good for both the great poet and her own interests.

After talking with Chen Hong, Lu Pingan and Han Sanpin talked alone.

Han Sanpin said directly that he would officially take over as the head of China Film after March.

Lu Pingan also said directly that when the time comes, they will discuss and schedule "Pacific Rim" and "Kung Fu Panda" to be released this year!

A few simple words, the two raised their glasses, and everything was said without words.

They talked all the way until 12 o'clock, and when they returned to the hotel, Hu Qingquan, who was slightly drunk, talked to Lu Pingan about the gains in Berlin this time.

"1937" has a very good financial prospect.

The movie has been released in Germany and North America.

The rest of the places will be fully released after the copyright is sold.

Hu Qingquan said with some pride: "152 countries and regions, according to the original plan, profits are put behind, coverage is given priority, and the current total copyright quotation is 27.65 million US dollars."

"152? This time it's amazing."

Lu Pingan was very satisfied.

Without the big North American region among these 152, it is really good to reach nearly 30 million.

At present, the investment in "1937" is relatively large.

The production cost is close to 10 million US dollars.

There is also a budget of 20 million US dollars for public relations expenses.

Although this money has not been spent yet, it is also included.

Add up to 30 million, which does not include Lu Ping'an's own director's salary and so on.

Now that the copyright has been sold, it is basically recovered according to the current expenditure.

In addition, in North America, the movie has been released for nearly a week, and the box office has reached nearly 20 million.

North America is split, so "1937" will definitely have no problem making money this time, and it is expected to make a lot more.

Hu Qingquan continued: "If we follow the normal process, we can earn at least an additional 10 to 20 million US dollars in terms of copyright, but the price is that the coverage will be reduced by at least 50 countries and regions."

"Also, Neon cannot be sold. I heard rumors that Neon may ban you as a whole. If this really happens, things will be big. It will not only affect this movie, but also you in the future. Films in Hollywood may also be restricted."

"That's to be expected."

Lu Ping'an didn't care, but he also said, "I might not be able to deal with his American dad in my childhood."

"That's what I say, but you have to prepare for the worst."

"I know, but what else can we do after the matter has been done? Let's leave it like this. By the way, if the neon side really can't sell it, we will give it away for free. If we can't give it away for free, we will just post the resources online. Well, this time I want everyone to see this movie.”

"Then we have to do it after a while. The goal has been achieved at this point, and we have to take care of money."

"certainly."

After talking about external copyright matters, Hu Qingquan asked about the domestic release plan.

The two of them had discussed this matter before, and the plan was very simple.

Since "1937" has a certain mission, someone will definitely come to morally kidnap it in the future.

Don't talk about the future, there are already people saying that since your movie is a voice for the country, why do you still need to collect money?

It is impossible to be completely free, and it is impossible for Lu Ping An to be truly selfless. If he really wanted to do it, it would not be selfless, but stupid!

Everyone knows the allusion of Zigong redeeming the cow. Otherwise, it would be a good thing turning into a bad thing. No one in the circle would be willing to do this, nor would they encourage you to do it.

Therefore, Lu Ping'an couldn't be kidnapped, and these people couldn't do anything.

However, it is still possible to slightly adjust the domestic release model.

Don't be too obsessed with box office profits, you can put some of it out to give back to the public.

For example, it will only be released for one month, and the ticket price will be lower. After the theatrical release, it will be sold to the Sixth Princess at a cheaper price, so that the Sixth Princess can be shown on TV as soon as possible.

This is the most balanced.

Let's continue chatting, and then there is only the last level left in "1937".

It's February 18th. The final votes for the Oscars will close in two days, and the Oscars will begin eight days later.

Judging by time, the results have basically been determined at present.

The team has the same attitude as to whether they can win the award. Anyway, they have tried their best, and they have tried their best, so no matter what the result is, they can accept it.

Hu Qingquan said: "Then I will go to Laomei tomorrow. You should come here early."

"Okay, I'll go there in my third year of junior high school."
