Chapter 417 August Event
Before returning home, Wattsberg brought good news.
Twilight was finally bought.
Early in the morning, Lu Pingan met Wattsberg at Xingchen Company.
"Twilight has been bought."
Wattsberg's tone was like he had just finished a marathon, and he was finally relieved.
This matter has been discussed for a long time, and it was not until now that it was settled. For Wattsberg, this is a very difficult author.
Lu Pingan asked: "There are no hard conditions, right?"
"No, although the other party really wants you to direct, they can't seem to wait until 2009."
"It doesn't matter, do it according to my idea."
Since he can't direct, let the movie go the original way.
Casting, director and so on are all open books, just look for the original version.
As for whether such a novel that has been criticized a lot in the market can finally succeed.
Anyway, for Watts and others, as long as Lu Pingan is optimistic and can keep an eye on it, it won't be a big problem.
Just at this point, Watts said, "Maybe it will take until next year to start filming."
"What's wrong, no one is available?"
"No, I heard that there may be a strike by screenwriters and directors next month."
"Okay, you can handle it."
Lu Ping'an was slightly surprised and didn't think about it.
In Hollywood, this kind of thing happens often, but there are not many serious ones in recent years.
Just talking about this, it also reminded Lu Ping'an of something else.
It will soon be 2008, and there will be another economic crisis.
It just so happens that next time I can think about how to preserve my assets, or take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
"I'm leaving, contact me if you have anything."
Waving his hand, Lu Ping'an and Yan Danchen set off for the airport together.
More than ten hours later, the two returned to Beijing.
After several days of activities in North America, Yan Danchen was exhausted.
But as soon as she got home, she was like a full blood resurrection, and she started to prepare food directly.
Then several beautiful home-cooked dishes were served soon.
The two of them also opened the wine and clinked glasses to celebrate this trip to Hollywood.
After dinner, they washed the dishes together, and then lay on the sofa to watch TV as usual.
As soon as the TV was turned on, a familiar figure appeared.
Zhang Tengyue and his "Approaching Science" began to fool people!
However, this episode of the program was not very good, all related to the Olympics, "Gold Medal Weapon - Table Tennis", which talked about the production of the competition ball, and also came with "(up)", well, it tasted very good.
Switching channels again, there were familiar figures again.
Zhang Jie and Chen Chusheng, the traffic from this year's Happy Boys.
Among them, Zhang Jie was the most miserable. In May, Yang Erche Namu exposed his relationship with Xie Na.
One is the host of Happy Camp, and the other is a newcomer. Tianyu seems to disagree with this marriage, and Zhang Jie is under great pressure.
Then Wu Zun also began to emerge in the domestic entertainment.
Then it was Lu Pingan himself.
"Peak 3 won the box office championship in three days after its premiere"
After a brief report, Lu Pingan felt nothing. The program continued, and soon he saw the biggest gossip in the TV market this summer.
On August 11, a few days ago, on the Chongqing Satellite TV talent show "First Heartbeat", a contestant named Dai Chuang first knelt down to ask for a ring from the judge Ke Yimin on the spot, and then knelt down to give the ring to the judge Yang Erche Namu next to him.
Ke Yimin felt very aggrieved when she saw this, and asked whether the scene of the contestant "asking for a ring" was manipulated by the organizer.
Yang Erche Namu also angrily returned the ring, and Ke Yimin lost control and cried on the spot.
It also led to a war of words between the two judges on the spot.
The scene was full of twists and turns, making such a program not like a talent show, but more like two women's jealousy and fighting.
A live broadcast accident also occurred as a result.
After the show was broadcast, the General Administration issued a notice, calling off the show on the grounds that the competition was ugly and crude, the judges behaved inappropriately, the program design lacked artistic standards, the content was low-grade, the songs were vulgar and kitsch, "seriously deviated from the purpose of the competition, was keen on creating gimmicks and hype activities", and "damaged the image of television media and produced adverse social impacts".
The call off of "The First Heartbeat" was not an isolated incident.
The day after the incident, Guangdong TV's plastic surgery reality show "Beautiful New Testament" also received a red card from the General Administration.
Starting in June, the show selected 14 women who met the program requirements and provided them with free plastic surgery worth a total of one million yuan. The surgical process and the psychological gap between the contestants were shown to the audience through the camera, causing a lot of controversy.
The General Administration issued a notice prohibiting the planning, production and broadcasting of various plastic surgery and transgender programs involving the masses.
The day before yesterday, the third program was given a red card.
Shenzhen Satellite TV's large-scale emotional variety show "Super Emotional Match" is themed on young men and women making friends. Due to the inappropriate words and deeds of some contestants and hosts of the program, it has a bad social impact and was stopped by the General Administration. Shenzhen Satellite TV has lost a trump card program that has been running for three years.
The variety show talent show market is in chaos, and the society generally feels that this "rectification" is a belated sanction.
Then starting from next month, the General Administration will issue a notice that talent shows in the future shall not occupy prime time for broadcast, talent shows cannot use SMS voting and other measures.
In fact, in Lu Ping'an's view, these programs are very creative, and there is no shortage of creative program planners in China.
But it is true that these people have no control over the program. The TV station wants to make money, so they are generally short-sighted. In addition, the bosses are sometimes more conservative, which directly ruins many potentially excellent ideas.
Yan Danchen said at this time: "The program "First Heartbeat" originally asked me to be a guest, but luckily he didn't go. If I did, it would be troublesome."
Isn't it?
Lu Pingan said: "From now on, focus on big-name variety shows and take your time with everything else."
"That's a lot of rejections."
Yan Danchen sighed slightly.
This is the trouble of happiness.
Now Yan Danchen in "Peak 3" is just a small supporting role, and he is at most familiar to him in North America.
But it's different in the country.
Hollywood stars have become valuable.
The movie has not yet been released in the country.
But Yan Danchen’s announcement has already skyrocketed.
But Yan Danchen didn't like it very much.
By 11 o'clock, the two of them felt sleepy and went to bed directly.
While lying on the bed, Yan Danchen seemed to have finally made preparations and said what he had been holding in his heart these days.
"Peace, I may not adapt to the rhythm of Hollywood."
After hearing this, Lu Pingan asked: "Why do you say that? The intensity of work these days is much less than that in China."
"I know, but I just don't feel good."
"Do you feel a little out of place?"
"Well, I feel very uncomfortable."
Yan Danchen said, curling up and hiding in Lu Ping'an's arms, "I'm very grateful that you can take me to see the world of Hollywood, but I feel that I don't have the ambition to stay there and sustain it, but I I’m afraid that this will disappoint you.”
Yan Danchen's voice became softer and softer, and his eyes turned red.
It can be seen that it took a lot of courage to say these words.
