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

Chapter 45 Cooperation, Domestic Violence

On November 11, the post-production of "Comet" was completed.

[Congratulations for completing the production of "The Night the Comet Came", the total completion rate is 91%, and the rewards will not change】

Call ~
Lu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief.

91%, which is 2% lower than the completion time, a thrilling pass.

Lu Pingan knows where the 2% loss is. It is basically in the individual shots and lines, and the final color correction stage with a relatively large proportion. This has something to do with the lighting at the time and the post-production techniques. If Zhang Yifan It is estimated that the 2% may not be lost, and may even increase a little. Apart from these, the music is not 100% the same.

So post-production and music also need to learn more.

Details determine success or failure, and if you want to surpass, you must be proficient in every link.

After passing the video, Lu Pingan looked at the reward.

[Language learning tenfold increase card (three-month limitation period)]

Lu Pingan soon knew that the so-called three-month limitation period was calculated from the time he started using it, and the effect disappeared after three months.

The specific function is that it can increase his foreign language learning speed by 10 times, as long as it is a foreign language.

As for how much you can learn in three months, it depends on your original talent and effort.

He felt that after three months of hard work, fluent English could definitely be unlocked. On this basis, he might be able to learn one or two foreign languages.

It's not bad, but I'm worried that I can't open my mouth when I go abroad.

After accepting the reward, Lu Pingan decided to start studying hard after he finished his work.

After editing, the viewing session for "Comet" began the next day.

This time, the viewing meeting does not have the same posture as "Looking for the Gun", it is just the most standard review meeting for the leadership of China Film Group, and the effect is also expected.

After 90 minutes, Han Sanpin applauded first: "Not bad! I really didn't expect to be able to achieve this level with a mere 35."

He had read the script, and now after seeing the finished film, he felt that Lu Pingan's finished film was much more amazing than the script.

The difference between the finished film and the script lies in the various effects of editing, acting, and soundtrack, which make the film full of horror and suspense.

At the same time, the matter of "science" has the effect of thinking carefully and fearing extremes.

So Han Sanpin, who has read the script and learned the relevant scientific knowledge, is very satisfied.

And this is also the characteristic of "Comet", which is ultra-low cost and feels like a blockbuster.

After the praise, he also asked some questions: "The threshold for viewing this film will be relatively high, and the audience will be more selective."

This statement was also recognized by the rest of the leaders of China Film Group present.

After all, concepts such as "parallel time-space coherence" are clearly explained in the movie, and the rhythm of the whole movie is also very good. As long as they watch it, it is not difficult for them to understand and experience the mysterious fun in it.

The quality of the film is excellent, the suspense is well done, and in the end it is Lu Pingan's iconic "Thinking carefully and fearing extremely".

I believe Lu Ping'an can really stabilize his brand through this time, and his fans will be more loyal.

But they also know that the appreciation level of most audiences is not high, and their viewing preferences tend to be more relaxed movies.

Choose one of popcorn movies and literary movies, at least [-]% will choose popcorn movies.

And "Comet" is not so literary, but it is definitely not popcorn, let alone some popular themes such as easy love and comedy.

Although there are many actors that young people like to join, the decisive factor is still the subject matter of the film.

So everyone's expectations for the box office are not too high, at least not so high that they think it can be compared with "The Tuner".

Of course, Lu Ping'an's box office appeal cannot be ruled out, but this kind of thing must not be included in the plan.

But everyone knows that it is not a problem at all that box office expectations are not so high. After all, the cost is low, and it is not generally low.

So the matter is settled, and the next step is how to cooperate.

Lu Pingan has already thought about it. There are no theaters these days, and the first batch of 30 theaters in China will not be approved until June next year. It is impossible to directly discuss distribution like the later theaters.

Now there are less than 1500 large screens in the whole country, and theaters are controlled by the top and controlled by princes.

Without the involvement of large state-owned enterprises such as China Film and Shanghai Film Group, it is really not easy for ordinary films to be released nationwide. Even after the release, the box office share will not be so easy to get. Didn't Huayi suffer from this at the beginning? It almost broke the capital chain and almost decided not to engage in film and television.

So if you want to save some trouble, you have to bring in China Film at the moment. With Han Sanpin as an "uncle" and being tied to China Film's interests, you can save a lot of trouble.

This was the case with "The Tuner" last time. China Film Group invested and undertook all the distribution tasks. It was screened nationwide from top to bottom. Everything went smoothly. I'm going to be in trouble.

So began to talk about the issue of sharing.

To talk about the share, the production cost must not be calculated at 35, and Lu Pingan's director's salary and special effects fees must be added. Lu Ping'an still called for a director's salary of 50 yuan. There are few special effects, just a "comet", Lu Ping'an Called 15, and made up the whole, exactly 100 million.

Han Sanpin directly agreed that the cost of 100 million is really not high, and the director's salary is in line with Lu Ping'an's current director's worth, and even a little cheaper.

In the end, China Film and Lu Pingan reached a cooperation. The first thing they decided was 100 copy disks, which is currently about a quarter of the national screening standard. It is mainly in the capital, radiating to the north and several major cities along the coast. These costs are converted into the total cost, so the ratio has become a [-]-[-] split, which is better than the previous [-]-[-] split, and then determine how much to expand according to the results, and the extra cost will still be borne by this ratio. .

And this is just distribution and does not involve other copyrights.

After the cooperation chat, Han Sanpin then asked: "Do you want to send this film to the top three in Europe?"

Lu Pingan nodded and said, "I will send it to Berlin the day after tomorrow."

Speaking of Berlin, Han Sanpin asked again: "This time your short film will go to Berlin again to compete for awards, right?"

"Correct."

"Are you sure?"

"I don't know, but I think the quality of the new short film is better than the "Tuner" short film."

Han Sanpin immediately said, "Then this film will be released after the Berlin Film Festival. If you win an award in Berlin, you can take advantage of it. If you don't win an award, then hold a screening in advance."

"Then I will trouble Uncle Han to arrange it."

. . . . . . .

"I'm leaving, don't forget to turn on when you are roaming."

At the airport, before sending Hu Qingquan to Berlin to send the film again, Hu Qingquan gave Lu Ping'an a smile and gave orders.

"Understood, you also pay attention to safety."

"Go back and do your work."

Hu Qingquan turned around with a smile until he passed the pass and left the airport safely.

Back home, Lu Pingan planned the next thing.

"Comet" spent a total of 35 yuan, allowing Lu Pingan to practice well.

I don't know how much box office and profit this film can make in the future.

But Lu Pingan had already prepared for the worst.

The big deal is a loss, how much money can I lose?

However, considering that I am a director after all, if I want to stand out, I must make achievements in box office and awards.

Then the next film must consider practical issues.

It's still the same question, winning prizes, or box office?

Lu Pingan chose Box Office without much hesitation.

It's almost 2002, and the director's box office performance will gradually become the mainstream in the future.

You can make money, you are a genius!

As for winning awards, of course it is also important, so Lu Pingan decided to make a big literary movie after deciding on the next commercial film.

Back to the next commercial.

It's fine to make a box office of over [-] million domestically.

Now that the market is so small, Feng Dapao's "Big Whistleblower", which cost 3000 million yuan at the end of the year, can only make more than 4000 million yuan, so Lu Pingan doesn't want to break the box office of [-] million yuan.

Unless he makes a blockbuster movie with a lot of gimmicks.

But not everyone can make a blockbuster movie. Special effects alone are not enough. To make a blockbuster movie in this era, the focus is on the cast, network, and director's appeal.

Big-name stars, plus the support of movie theaters, plus the reputation of the director, these are the foundations for the box office to exceed [-] million.

In this way, the cost is too high and the market is small, so let's wait until later.

It is impossible to hit a super high domestic box office, but Hollywood can.

But this will have to wait until the results of Summit Entertainment's "Tuner" in May come out.

So the direction of the next domestic film will be clear.

It's enough to shoot a niche film like "Comet" once. If the box office performance is good in the future, it can continue to produce such ultra-low-cost films.

But that's for another day.

So the next one will be a popular one, everyone loves to watch it.

The cost does not need to be too high, at most four to five million yuan, comedy and romance are fine, it is best to bring some ideas and continue his "different" sign.

As for the box office, Lu Ping'an's expectations are not high, as long as it is better than "The Tuner".

In this way, with two high-grossing movies, his label as a blockbuster director can be firmly established.

With that in mind, Lu Pingan began to choose films. . .

When it was time for dinner, Yan Danchen came.

I haven't seen you for more than half a month, and I miss you very much.

The same goes for Yan Danchen, she purposely visited the vegetable market before coming here.

"Guess what's for dinner today?"

"Is it ribs?"

"No, it's pickled fish."

"Wow, I like it!"

Yan Danchen's craftsmanship is very good, but he always likes to put chili when cooking, and the DNA of Shonan girls has been engraved with chili.

The meal was enjoyable. After the meal, the two of them washed the dishes together, and then lay on the sofa to watch TV.

"Don't Talk to Strangers" was playing on TV.

The TV series aired on October 10 has now finished one round, but the film is very popular, and the second round has been seamlessly broadcasted on other channels.

Teacher Feng Yuanzheng probably has a terrible headache right now.

"Will you domestically abuse me in the future?"

Yan Danchen in his arms suddenly asked.

Lu Pingan asked back: "How do you count as domestic violence?"

"Just hit me."

"Is it the snapping kind?"

"Yeah... Hey, you're so nasty."

"Hey, woman, what are you thinking..."

Domestic violence on TV is also "domestic violence" off TV.

In fact, An Jiahe would be very happy if he changed his mind. . .
