China Entertainment: The happiness of being a director is as simple as that

Chapter 449 No one can pretend

Fast forward to November 12th.

Today is the day of the Golden Horse Awards.

Two of Xingchen's works were selected, "1937" and "Bucket List".

Originally, Lu Ping'an didn't really want to go there, so he had already thought about it and used the Olympics as an excuse to refuse.

But today he wanted to go and get the award in person.

Because Spielberg is here today.

It's a pity that just because he came, Lu Pingping couldn't leave.

So today Wanwan was bustling with activity, and Hu Qingquan took two crew members to attend the meeting.

On Lu Ping'an's side, he had to bite the bullet and receive Spielberg.

Spielberg has a big air.

When entering the venue, it looks like a big leader is inspecting.

Although not as impressive as Jordan's first trip to China.

But seeing a group of well-established leaders and celebrities in the country surrounding him, Lu Ping'an felt uncomfortable.

Lao Mouzi had a good relationship with him and behaved very low-key in front of him.

The man from the northwest and the squid from the west stood together. One looked like a part-time worker and the other looked like a company boss.

After saying hello, Lao Mouzi also noticed some subtle changes in Lu Pingan's expression.

So Lao Mouzi asked: "Are you feeling well?"

Lu Pingan nodded smoothly: "Yeah, my stomach doesn't feel right."

Chen Danqing on the side directly broke the story: "When my students find excuses to take leave, eight out of ten will use stomach discomfort as an excuse."

Lu Ping'an replied: "This means that your school's cafeteria needs to be replaced by a different contractor!"

Chen Danqing laughed and didn't care at all about Lu Ping'an's attitude towards him. On the contrary, he was already used to it.

Over the past few days, he had become familiar with Lu Ping'an. The two would always argue with each other and then make bets.

For example, regarding the idea of ​​the movable type printing module, Chen Danqing said, if this can be made, I will crawl around the bird's nest to show you!

Lu Ping'an also responded: If you want to crawl, take off your clothes and crawl!

So this became one of more than ten bets between the two.

Having said that, Chen Danqing obviously saw that Lu Pingan had a problem with Spielberg.

As for whether it is based on career, artistic expression, or the extraordinary courtesy he now receives, I don't know.

In short, Ping An Lu definitely has opinions on Spielberg.

Chen Danqing didn't want to find out, he just wanted to tease Lu Pingan, a genius, so he leaned into Lu Pingan's ear and asked: "You and he are both famous international directors, and his reputation is much higher than yours." Zhi, how do you feel now?"

Lu Pingan glanced at Chen Danqing, who was wearing small glasses and smiling evilly, and said nothing.

Chen Danqing chuckled and continued to ask: "Your domestic box office has crushed everyone, but internationally, your total box office is less than half of his. What do you think now? Are you very unconvinced?"

Lu Ping'an continued to scratch his ears, looking a little anxious.

Chen Danqing became even happier and continued to speak.

But before he could say anything, Lu Pingan put his arm around his shoulders: "Teacher Chen, I heard that you have a good drinking capacity?"

"Want to persuade me to drink? You can't persuade me. Unless the big leader comes, no one can persuade me."

"I never persuade people to drink. I like to drink."

"Young man, violence doesn't solve anything."

“But it solves the problem for the person who asked it.”

Lu Ping'an smiled slightly, stroked Chen Danqing's chest, gave him an "I'm eyeing you" look, and then turned to say hello to Spielberg.

"Hello Steven."

"Oh hello, Lu, we finally meet."

Since it is a task, it must be treated well.

Lu Ping An's performance satisfied everyone.

And Spielberg is obviously an expressionist. At least what he shows now is that he is indeed a fanatical fan of China and Chinese culture.

The two soon became animated.

Chen Danqing said to Lao Mouzi from behind: "You see, the biggest difference between you and him is here."

"What did you see again?" Lao Mouzi asked sideways.

"You can't pretend like him."

"That's true."

"I mean, you can pretend too, but not as openly as he does."

Lao Mouzi: "You're going to drink tonight, right?"

"The new rule is that starting from today, all employees will stop drinking."

Chen Danqing chuckled, then turned to the person on the other side and asked: "He is an international director, and you are a small stage director. In front of him, you are just a little shrimp. How do you feel now?"     The meeting is over. , and then started talking about plans.

When discussing the plan, there were irrelevant people present, namely Spielberg’s assistants and colleagues, so the complete idea was not introduced.

Instead, we turned to talk about art-related matters, such as peripheral plans such as color tones for visual communication, as well as the current arrangements for the rehearsal stage.

The real details will have to wait until tomorrow when Spielberg joins the group alone.

But even so, Spielberg still showed professionalism.

Generally speaking, it is mainly about praise.

In the eyes of others, this is full of pride, and then they think Spielberg is awesome and professional!

But from the perspective of Lu Pingan, who was wearing colored glasses, it was naturally a bit absent-minded and just going through the motions.

After all, what's there to talk about? If this can be praised, it's obvious that this person doesn't care.

Of course, in the eyes of an old naughty boy like Chen Danqing, you are still a scholar, and you don't want others to arrogantly give you advice on your works.

Lu Ping'an was too lazy to offend him and was just prepared to finish this mission period.

But I don't know how long this mission will last.

But fortunately, in the evening, Spielberg soon said that because of his busy schedule, he would try to come once a month in the future.

And the superiors actually agreed directly!

Lu Ping'an was speechless.

On the one hand, Spielberg's approach obviously confirms Lu Ping'an's conjecture.

This person has actually already started preparing for cutting.

On the other hand, he actually has such great privileges, and Lu Ping'an is going to be crucified here.

Although the tasks are indeed different, the difference is probably too big.

But if you think about it more carefully, did the bosses already smell the smell and agree?

Forget it.

Lu Pingping didn't think too much about it. Anyway, it was good that he didn't need to continue to react.

At the end of the work day in the evening, the award results from Wanwan came out.

This Golden Horse Awards is considered by many media to be the most difficult one to choose.

"1937" vs "Lust, Caution".

An Oscar, a Golden Lion.

In fact, the results of the awards are also very clear.

In short, Wanwan will definitely not let "1937" take away the awards.

And "1937" really can't wrap things up.

For example, the Best Supporting Actress and Supporting Actress category will definitely not work, because neither of these characters are in the movie.

In addition, the technical award must go to "1937".

As for the best actor, from a professional perspective, Zhou Yiwei will definitely not be able to compare with Chao Wei from "Lust, Caution".

So everyone is in a good mood.

The final result was indeed as expected, no suspense.

Of course there are some controversies.

For example, the best film was won by "1937", and the best director was won by Li An.

Mainland media felt that Lu Pingan should win the best director because the film was so difficult.

Wanwan Media thinks this is good.

Two major awards, one for each person.

And aren’t the other technical categories all from “1937”? They’re already very good!

In the end, it became a situation where Lu Ping'an and Li An were evenly matched.

This is of course a disadvantage for Lu Ping An.

After all, Li An is one step behind Lu Ping'an now.

This makes the golden horse feel like carrying the sedan chair safely.

Of course, there are not many people who think so, because the Golden Horse Awards are so important, and it is indeed difficult to choose this time, so they are more talking about "the two major directors pose problems for the Golden Horse" instead of paying attention to "lifting the sedan chair" "etc.

It is even said that no one believes in the term "carrying a sedan chair".

Hong Kong and Taiwan capital are very proud of this.

But Lu Ping'an knew that their good days were numbered.

Unless "Red Cliff" adapts the plot.

Otherwise, Lu Ping An will definitely be beaten by them when the time comes!

But now, the Golden Horse Awards are just a small episode, so don’t pay too much attention to it.

For Lu Pingan, the most important thing is still the box office.

The next day, "Kung Fu Panda" finally landed in North America.
