Chapter 368 The Status that the First Person Should Have
"Lu Ping'an's "1937" wins the Berlin Golden Bear Award"
"After 14 years since 1993, a Chinese film has won the Golden Bear Award again."
“Chinese films swept the top two awards at this Berlin Film Festival”
"Lu Ping An's acceptance speech is still unique."
After it enters late night in Berlin, a new day in the country has just begun.
Various reports about the Berlin Film Festival have also begun to sweep through the entertainment and social pages.
Among them, the ones receiving the most attention are naturally the Golden Bear Award-winning works and Lu Pingan himself.
However, the significance of the movie "1937" has been discussed by the state media and mass media a few days ago.
Everyone knows how awesome this movie is and how important its birth is, and everyone is looking forward to seeing it.
But in terms of freshness, it is naturally far inferior to Lu Ping'an's remarks about food.
Lu Pingan's acceptance speech was reprinted and broadcast by the television station early in the morning.
Everyone highly praised this unique patriotic sentiment.
The various delicacies he mentioned also quickly became popular.
Mutton from Northwest China, Wenchang chicken from Hainan, glutinous rice from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, morning tea from Xiangjiang
In this era where information transmission is still not very smooth.
This is the first time most people know, oh, it turns out these places also have these specialties.
This point was specifically mentioned in CCTV’s New Year news program.
Accompanied by the lyrical music of "Spring Festival Overture", 13 sets of "News Thirty" New Year reports specifically introduced the various delicacies from all over the world mentioned by Lu Ping'an.
At this point, Lu Ping'an's speech with Xiangjiang and Wanwan had an excellent effect, which is exactly what the country needs.
In the program, the location host specially interviewed people from Wanwan who were celebrating the New Year in the Mainland.
The little girl from Nawanwan was very pleasantly surprised: "I'm really surprised that Director Lu actually knows about oyster omelette. It's my favorite food. I feel homesick."
An old man wearing short sleeves and speaking with a Cantonese accent also accepted a street interview: "When Lu Sheng comes to Hong Kong, I can take him for morning tea."
The aunt in the icy and snowy Northeast held up a plate of blood sausage and smiled happily: "We are shaking and loving it."
People from all over the world talked about their specialties with smiles in front of the camera, injecting a special fragrance and vitality into this New Year festival.
Many people say that this year is indeed the Year of the Pig, so let’s talk about food.
But everyone didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. On the contrary, they felt that CCTV was more down-to-earth than before.
CCTV leaders seem to have noticed this feedback and are wondering whether they should slightly adjust the style of some programs in the future.
At this time, a CCTV host named Zhu Guangquan seemed to be inspired by something. He scratched his head and seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't seem to have thought of it. He was a little distressed.
Lu Ping An also received a lot of calls immediately, saying that he would send you some delicious food.
They are all friends whom I have met but are not very familiar with.
Northeastern Lao Zhao and Fan Wei also called. They called separately, but the purpose was the same. They said that they would invite Lu Ping'an to the Northeast to have a meal. There would be plenty of delicious food, much more than just blood sausage.
Lu Pingan expressed his gratitude, but declined because he really didn't have time.
At noon on the second day of the lunar month, Lu Pingan and everyone returned to the capital with honor.
His uncle and relatives had already arranged a late New Year's Eve dinner for him.
Lu Pingan took Zhang Songwen and others with him.
The protagonist is naturally Yan Danchen.
Lu Ping'an's girlfriend.
The uncle and the others were so happy that they gave him a big red envelope.
My sister-in-law smiled with sadness hidden in her face.
Then his eyes went out again and again, as if to say: Let's see how you end up!
Lu Ping'an didn't care, he kept eating braised pork, braised pig's trotters, and soy sauce beef. Even the green vegetables used for decoration were delicious. They were savoury with some wine. After all, this is what people eat!
After being away from home for so many days, he was really hungry.
Li Zi did make some Chinese food a few days ago, but the taste was not as fragrant as it is now.
Lu Ping'an felt that this was probably the taste of the motherland.
The second day of the Lunar New Year passed like this in a lively manner.
The next day, Lu Ping'an returned to the United States to continue filming and prepare for the Oscars.
A few days passed quickly, and Oscar was right around the corner.
It's already the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and tomorrow is the Oscars.
Wu Guohua arrived in the United States with the main creators.
Needless to say, the actors are all very excited about being on the big stage of the Oscars.
The people behind the scenes were also very happy.
Although most of them were unable to enter the venue.
But this is still their glory.
Wu Guohua also brought good news.
The domestic "Bucket List" finally exceeded the box office of 420 million yesterday, completing a record-breaking task.
It took just two months, which is justifiable.
You must know that "The Golden Jacket" completed its two-month release a week ago, and the box office was only pegged at 262 million.
Lao Mouzi lost to Lu Pingan again.
And Lu Pingan not only won the box office competition, but also broke the record again. Although the record was not much, it is enough to show that Lu Pingan has completely become the number one director in the mainland.
It’s just that I don’t have any special feelings about breaking records or anything like that.
On the contrary, he was still a little dissatisfied.
But he knows that there are many practical problems here.
Because the Spring Festival season is still a cool season right now.
The dividing line for the end of the Lunar New Year period is very clear, which is about a week before the Spring Festival.
From a week before the Spring Festival to two weeks after the Spring Festival, there is basically no box office during this period, because everyone is busy celebrating the Spring Festival, and there are not many people on the streets and shopping malls in big cities.
So although the box office of "The Bucket List" was very explosive in the first month, because "The Golden Curse" squeezed out the screening, and the piracy began to increase in the later period, and the Spring Festival was approaching, the box office growth rate fell sharply.
So at present, it is just barely breaking the record, and the new record is only about one million more than "Wonderful Night 1".
If the Spring Festival period is already popular.
Let alone 400 million, it may be 500 million or even 600 million.
So overall, Lu Pingan thinks it's just like that.
And now for him, creating box office records is actually not very attractive.
As the country's strength becomes stronger, more and more cinemas are opened.
A box office record of 400 million will not be enough in a few years.
Compared with breaking box office records.
Lu Pingan is interested in bigger things.
For example, the achievement of detonating the Spring Festival is very attractive.
In fact, the current summer season is considered to be detonated by him, but people are not willing to admit it.
If he detonates the Spring Festival, it will be different. After all, this is a very cold season, and it is not even a season.
In the original time and space, Cheng Long created the Spring Festival. In the mainland, the detonation of the Spring Festival should be "Avatar" in 2010, and then Zhou Xingxing's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" completely made everyone recognize the potential of the Spring Festival.
If Lu Ping'an came to detonate.
This is what the "first person" should do.
It's not very interesting to always compete with others for rice bowls in the same pot.
It's interesting to use some blockbuster films to create a market and make the cake bigger.
In the interval of making the cake bigger, it is more interesting to shoot movies like "The Bucket List" and "Twenty Again" in China that are humanistic and beneficial to society.
This kind of movie does not expect box office or anything, but is based on a higher level of spiritual satisfaction.
As for overseas, there is no need to worry about it now. The box office of "Batman 2" alone is estimated to be unbreakable in his lifetime.
So as a director, he can export the stories of his motherland overseas and win awards; he can also cut eye-popping box office in the field of international commercial films.
He can expand the cake in China, consolidate the foundation of the industry, and make some movies that he knows may not have high box office but can bring benefits to society.
Lu Pingan thinks that this should be the real status of "the first person".
