China Entertainment: Director’s Happiness Is so Simple

Chapter 387 Wonderful Night 2 Is on the Agenda

The main film ends.

When the subtitles start to roll, the Easter egg begins.

Awen received a call from the foreigner, asking if the goods have arrived.

Awen hung up the phone, and together with the other four people, donated the box of items to the relevant departments.

And the grandfather on the neck also put on his military uniform again.

The grandfather is very old, but still energetic.

With a group photo of five people, the film came to the last scene.

The grandfather looked at Awen and asked in confusion: Why do you look familiar?

So far, the whole film is over.

Obviously, there is a second part.

Xingchen seems to like to play like this.

But it doesn’t matter, everyone is happy to see the next one.

Putting aside other things, the quality of the movie "We Come from the Future" is indeed very high.

The plot is interesting, the logic is rigorous, and the acting is explosive.

The most important thing is the details of the shooting.

The use of the lens is excellent.

The war scene is very real.

It is worthy of being operated by the team that filmed "1937"!

Of course, the most important thing is the spirit conveyed by the film.

The original film received a very high box office in Russia, because Russia had a lot of social problems at that time.

But in China, there are pro-Japanese elements, and there are many of them, but they are not as openly walking on the streets as in Russia.

So the overall plot tension is naturally much weaker than the Russian version.

But even if it is weaker, it is still useful.

For example, after the movie ended, Zhang Lei looked at his cousin Huang Tao with a smile.

Huang Tao didn't know why his cousin had a problem with him all the way.

In fact, he felt something was wrong at the beginning of the movie.

He also had a great resistance to the movie.

It was just because of his cousin's force that he had to watch it and then complain in his heart.

As the plot progressed, he began to slowly realize whether he had indeed gone too far.

Then, he was completely drawn into the plot of the movie.

Until now, when he met his cousin's eyes, a sense of shame that he had never had before could not be wiped away.

Zhang Lei was naturally very satisfied when he saw his cousin who dared not look him in the eye.

But he actually knew how much effect the movie could have? I'm afraid it was limited.

There will probably be many people like his cousin in the future.

What can we do as Chinese people?

Zhang Lei felt that his ability was limited and he would not become a big shot in the future.

But at least, he could still do "don't forget"

On the other side, Beijing Planet Cinema Store No. 5.

As the lights came on, Zhang Songwen and other creators came on stage amid applause, and the premiere began the interactive session.

"This movie was an idea that came to me when I was filming 1937. Yes, we decided to make two movies at that time."

"I am very satisfied with everyone's performance. Zhang Yi gave me a huge surprise. He will be a good actor in the future. Lao Luo is a good actor. He is the most reliable actor. Awen's last shot was very explosive. I think he can try the villain role in the future. It will definitely not be bad."

"What do you really want to express? The most basic thing is not to forget, yes, it looks easy to do, but it is actually very difficult."

"Box office expectations? Of course, the more the better."

"Yes, there will be a second part, so stay tuned."

Ning Hao and others talked freely.

As I said, if the movie is good, everything is good.

But it is also foreseeable that there may be a lot of controversy on the Internet later.

For example, the sentence in the movie "Celebrities with 'I love Japan' tattooed on their bodies".

Some people will definitely think of Xiaoyanzi.

In addition to this, there will definitely be other people who will jump out and say that the movie is wrong.

In short, controversy is inevitable, and it is not just about the movie itself.

But they can think whatever they want.

Anyway, he can't be killed.

Personally, he can't be killed.

As for the movie, it can't be killed either.

Because the movie has become the second movie to be included in the collection after "1937".

The scale this time will not be as large as "1937", but the nature is similar.

This kind of movie is not a serious mainstream movie, but it is now.

Although many mainland directors seem to be ashamed to mention this kind of movie, thinking that it is a product of the system.

But Lu Ping'an will not pay attention.

So many directors, all looking outward, have not seen any great gains.

Now that Lu Ping'an, a director with great achievements abroad, has come back to make mainstream movies that the country and the nation need, they have no right to say.

On the contrary, this may even point them in the right direction.

In short, the movie has a golden body, so there is no big problem. The only thing to pay is to lose some copyright and profit sharing.

But this is still a small matter.

Domestic copyrights can't be sold at a high price.

As for foreign copyrights, there are already high bids.

Before the premiere, Lu Pingan specifically asked Hu Qingquan to find a Russian film distributor.

Now that the movie is over, looking at the eager expressions of the Russian film distributors, it goes without saying that the price will not be low.

After the premiere, everyone had dinner together as usual.

There were many people in the circle who came to support the show today.

Lu Pingan happened to be there again, so it was naturally very lively.

But when there were too many people, many things were difficult to talk about.

So after dinner, a few close friends gathered alone.

Jiang Wen came today. His "The Sun Also Rises" has been completely finished and has been sent to Venice.

Of course, Jiang Wen is full of confidence in this movie. The awards, box office, etc. are all promising.

Lu Ping'an didn't say anything else, only blessings.

Then talking about watching movies, Lu Pingan made an appointment with him three days later, because tomorrow he was going to Bashu to attend the college entrance examination swearing-in ceremony of his first middle school.

Then the protagonist of the topic came to the main creators this time.

The happiest people at the moment are a few actors.

Their performance in the film this time is very eye-catching.

Dong Xuan and others also performed very well.

Dong Xuan's role this time was brought in by Ning Hao.

They are all in the same circle, so naturally they have to help.

It’s just that Dong Xuan thought it was Lu Ping An’s instruction, so needless to say, Lu Ping An was already booked tonight.

The most eye-catching ones are Zhang Songwen, Zhang Yi and Luo Jingmin.

Zhang Songwen said he might not be able to win an award this time.

The rest are not jealous either.

Because Zhang Yi has already signed a contract with Xingchen.

This was achieved in exchange for wonderful performance, and everyone recognized it.

As for Zhou Yiwei, "1937" has basically been able to book several awards this year.

Baoqiang has Xu Sanduo, and "Shunliu" will follow soon.

Huang Bo will also have two blockbuster roles soon.

However, on this issue, Lu Pingan and Ning Hao talked about something seriously.

""Wonderful Night 2", I want to leave it to you to shoot."

When Ning Hao heard this, his brows were crooked.

"I?"

"Yes, I will produce and you will direct."

"Why don't you guide yourself?"

"I don't have time. The Olympics are coming soon."

"No, do you want to shoot this year?"

"right."

Lu Pingping nodded.

He has finished adjusting the script of "Wonderful Night 2".

This series of "Original Time and Space" is worse than the last.

According to the original path, the series will definitely continue to decline in the future.

If you want to change this situation, you have to make some adjustments to the plot content.

After the golden finger test, Lu Ping An has basically locked in the script direction of "Wonderful Night 2".

It’s just that this direction needs some time, such as catching up with next year’s big events.

It's not a malicious hotspot, but a theme in this regard.

In this way, shooting this year and shooting next year will have completely different meanings.

But this year he didn’t have time, so he had to be a producer and Ning Hao was the director.

At present, among all the stars, Ning Hao is actually the most suitable.

In this aspect, it actually involves the future development direction of Xingchen.

In the future, Xingchen will definitely attract more directors from the younger generation.

Lu Ping An will also design a ladder for them.

There are roughly three floors.

First Category: Lu Pingan has low-cost overseas masterpieces that can be remade. Such movies can hit a dozen average box office, and the most important thing is to focus on exporting copyrights overseas, such as "Twenty Again". The kind that blooms in many places can increase the company's revenue. In addition, this kind of movie also has a timeliness problem. If you don't make it, you will really miss it.

Second Category: Works independently created by directors or screenwriters from the company. Lu Pingan does not include their works, but can include people, such as Ning Hao’s own Crazy series, Xu Shanzheng’s embarrassing series, and Chen Sicheng’s Tang Dynasty. Detective series and the like.

The third tier: movies that can hit international awards, as well as large-scale industrial blockbusters. Such movies are currently mainly produced by Lu Ping An, and secondly, they must be led by real core members of the company.

For example, Ning Hao is a core member. Lu Ping An has no time to work on "Wonderful Night 2", so he has to push him to operate it.

Once you operate the third level of work and achieve great success, it is basically difficult to return to the first level.

Just like it is not appropriate for Lu Ping An to make small-budget movies with no special meaning now.

Of course, if Ning Hao is willing to earn a little money for a while, such as filming interesting scripts in Lu Ping'an's hand, or doing something that interests him, or he doesn't particularly care about hitting the box office, or whether he can handle big projects, it's not special. Be aware of the “baggage” you carry etc.

That road to peace will not be blocked.

After knowing what Lu Pingan meant, Ning Hao thought for a while and said, "Okay, but I don't have time to shoot "Happy Family" and "Crazy Racing" this year."

"Let's film again next year, or let someone else film "Happy Family"."

“Forget it if you take photos for others.”

"Don't worry about profits. I will make some reforms next and start to attract new directors. Of course, the interests of my brothers must be protected."

"I'm not saying this, I'm saying that I really like "Happy Family". The script has also been revised and it finally passed the review. I will not be willing to be filmed by others."

"Then let's put it aside for next year. Let's prepare for "Wonderful Night 2" after a while. It's best to start before September and strive to release it during the Lunar New Year next year and hit a big box office."

"So soon? We don't know the outcome of this movie yet. What if it fails?"

"It's impossible to pounce."

Lu Pingan is not worried at all about things like box office.

At present, the pre-sale box office of "We Come from the Future" has exceeded 50 million. In the future, 100 million will be easy, and 200 million will be basically no problem. For a cost of only 40 million, making money will definitely be no problem.

After hearing this, Ning Hao began to sigh: "It used to be big news if the box office exceeded 100 million, but now it doesn't feel the same if it doesn't reach 200 million."

Lu Ping'an smiled and showed the data: "Do you know how many big screens have increased in the past few years? What is the annual growth rate of the total box office? That is an increase of about 20% every year! Let me tell you, in three years In five years, a box office of 500 million is normal."

While they were chatting, Hu Qingquan came back and brought good news.

"The Russian adaptation rights were sold for US$6.8 million."

Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "Look, isn't this a return to the original goal?"

Ning Hao was also happy.

In this way, the pressure will be greatly reduced, and he can prepare for "Wonderful Night 2" with peace of mind.
