Chapter 449 No One Can Pretend

Time flies and it is December 8th.

Today is the day of the Golden Horse Awards.

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

Originally, Lu Ping'an didn't want to go, so he had thought about it early and refused with the excuse of the Olympics.

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

Because Spielberg came today.

Unfortunately, because of his coming, Lu Ping'an couldn't leave.

So today, Taiwan was very lively, and Hu Qingquan took two crew members to attend the meeting.

Lu Ping'an received Spielberg with a stiff upper lip.

Spielberg was very arrogant.

When he entered the venue, he looked like a big leader coming to inspect.

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

But seeing a group of domestic leaders and celebrities with good status around him, Lu Ping'an felt uncomfortable.

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

The Northwest Man and the Western Squid stood together, one looked like a worker and the other looked like a company boss.

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

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

Lu Ping'an nodded: "Yes, my stomach is not feeling well."

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

Lu Ping'an retorted: "This means that your school cafeteria needs to change contractors!"

Chen Danqing laughed, not caring about Lu Ping'an's attitude towards him at all, but he had long been accustomed to it.

He had become familiar with Lu Ping'an these days, and the two would always argue with each other and then make bets.

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

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

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

In other words, Chen Danqing obviously saw that Lu Ping'an had a problem with Spielberg.

Whether it was from the perspective of career, artistic expression, or the extraordinary courtesy he received now, it was unknown.

In short, Lu Pingan must have a problem with Spielberg.

Chen Danqing did not want to find out the truth, but just wanted to tease Lu Pingan, the genius, so he leaned close to Lu Pingan's ear and asked: "You and he are both international directors, and his fame is much higher than yours. How do you feel now?"

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

Chen Danqing smiled and continued to ask: "You crush everyone in the domestic box office, but in the international market, your total box office is half less than his. What do you think now? Are you very dissatisfied?"

Lu Pingan continued to scratch his ears, looking a little anxious.

Chen Danqing was even happier and continued to speak.

But before he could finish his words, Lu Pingan put his arm around his shoulders: "Mr. Chen, I heard that you can drink a lot?"

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

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

"Young man, violence can't solve any problems."

"But it can solve the people who raise the problem."

Lu Pingan smiled slightly, stroked Chen Danqing's chest, gave him a look that said "I've got my eyes on you", and then turned to greet Spielberg.

"Hello Steven."

"Oh, hello, Lu, we finally meet."

Since it's a task, it has to be treated well.

Lu Pingan's performance satisfied everyone.

And Spielberg is obviously an expressionist, at least now he is indeed a fanatic of China and Chinese culture.

The two soon chatted enthusiastically.

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

"What do you see?" Lao Mouzi asked with a squint.

"You can't pretend like him."

"That's true."

"I mean, you can pretend, but not as frankly as him."

Lao Mouzi: ".You have to drink at night, right?"

"New rule, starting today, all staff members will quit 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 play director. In front of him, you are just a small shrimp. How do you feel now?"

The meeting ended and then started to talk about the plan.

When talking about the plan, because there were irrelevant people, that is, Spielberg's assistant and colleagues, etc., the complete idea was not introduced.

Instead, they turned to talk about art-related, such as peripheral plans such as color tones in visual communication, and the current rehearsal stage arrangements.

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

But even so, Spielberg still showed professionalism.

In general, it is still mainly praise.

This is full of pride in the eyes of others, and they think Spielberg is awesome and professional!

But in the eyes of Lu Pingan, who was wearing tinted glasses, it was naturally a bit absent-minded and felt like a formality.

After all, what was there to talk about? Even this could be praised to bits, so it was obvious that this person didn't care.

Of course, in the eyes of Chen Danqing, the old naughty boy, it was still a matter of literary people looking down on each other, and he couldn't stand others arrogantly commenting on your work.

Lu Pingan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and just planned to get through this mission period.

It’s just that I don’t know how long this mission will last.

But fortunately, in the evening, Spielberg soon said that due to busy work, he would try to come once a month in the future.

And the higher-ups actually agreed directly!

Lu Pingan was speechless.

On the one hand, Spielberg’s approach obviously confirmed Lu Pingan’s guess.

This person had actually been preparing to cut off.

On the other hand, he actually had such a great privilege, but Lu Pingan was going to be nailed here.

Although the mission is indeed different, the difference is too big.

But think about it carefully, did the higher-ups already smell the smell and then agree to it?

Forget it.

Lu Pingan didn’t think too much, anyway, it was good not to continue to be disgusted.

At the end of the day’s work in the evening, the award results from Taiwan were also announced.

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

"1937" vs "Lust, Caution".

One Oscar, one Golden Lion.

In fact, the award results are also very clear.

In short, Taiwan will definitely not let "1937" sweep all the awards.

And "1937" really can't sweep all the awards.

For example, the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards are definitely not acceptable, because these two characters are not in the movie.

In addition, the technical awards will definitely go to "1937".

As for the Best Actor, from a professional perspective, Zhou Yiwei is definitely not as good as Zhao Wei in "Lust, Caution".

So everyone is in a good mood.

The final result is indeed as expected, without any 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.

The mainland media thinks that Lu Pingan should win the Best Director because the movie is so difficult.

The Taiwanese media think this is good.

Two heavyweight awards, one for each person.

And aren't the other technical awards all won by "1937", which is already very good!

In the end, Lu Pingan and Li An were evenly matched.

This is of course a disadvantage for Lu Pingan.

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

This makes the Golden Horse Awards seem to be using Lu Ping An to carry the sedan chair.

Of course, not many people think so, because the Golden Horse Awards are valuable, and it is indeed difficult to make a decision this time, so more people are saying that "the two directors have given the Golden Horse Awards a problem" and will not pay attention to "carrying the sedan chair" and other aspects.

It can even be said that no one believes in the saying of "carrying the sedan chair".

Hong Kong and Taiwan capital are very proud of this.

But Lu Ping An knows that their good days are numbered.

Unless "Red Cliff" adapts the plot.

Otherwise, Lu Ping An will definitely be robbed by them at that time!

Now, the Golden Horse Awards are just a small episode, so don't worry too much.

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

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