Chapter 286 Light Bulb
After finishing Peak 3, the next step is Pacific Rim.
At noon the next day, Lu Pingan signed the contract with Matt Damon.
The day after tomorrow, Matt Damon and several Hollywood actors will go to China with Lu Pingan to shoot.
At that time, there will be another press conference for public promotion.
Today, it is the North American investment promotion meeting for Pacific Rim.
This investment promotion meeting was also relatively smooth.
Warner and Paramount both joined in.
Because of the success of Batman 1, Warner's attitude towards Lu Pingan has become very good.
These days, Lu Pingan also told Warner that preparations for Batman 2 can begin.
Warner was very positive after hearing this.
As early as last year when Batman 1 was not released, they came to ask when the second part would start.
Now it's finally here!
According to the previous contract, they will have a 40% investment share in Batman 2.
And this project has become the most anticipated series in North America.
Countless fans are looking forward to Lu Pingan starting work as soon as possible.
Therefore, Warner Bros. would not have any idea of interfering, otherwise he would be scolded to death.
So in order to support Lu Pingan to quickly complete the other projects, Warner Bros. directly took 20% of the investment share of "Pacific Rim" and promised to make great efforts in distribution.
Paramount also invested 10%, which was attached to the cooperation with the American version of "Wonderful Night 1", and they took 40% of the American version of "Wonderful Night 1".
With the participation of two major studios, the basic distribution of "Pacific Rim" is guaranteed.
Of the remaining 70%, Lu Pingan will take out 20% for domestic operations.
Except for China Film, it must be obtained at a premium.
In this way, it can be regarded as taking care of Chinese capital, and Lu Pingan himself will not suffer too much loss.
This is also the way everyone will deal with under the rules of the game.
In the next two days, Lu Pingan continued to run Oscar public relations with Lao Hu.
All kinds of meals and socializing.
Lu Pingan is already familiar with the road.
There are less than ten days before the deadline for nomination ballots on February 28, and the peak period of public relations is at this time.
The good news is that there has been no negative news against nationality or race so far.
The bad news is that homosexual themes are still resisted.
This also exists in the original time and space, and it is also just a small group of people like in the original time and space.
Hu Qingquan is a little worried about this.
At this moment, any disturbance will affect the final result.
"Brokeback Mountain" wants to win the best film, best director and other heavy awards, and it is most afraid of these things.
But it is difficult to solve it, after all, the subject matter is indeed sensitive.
But thinking about Lu Ping'an participating in the Olympics, he soon became happy.
"Glorious!"
Old Hu laughed happily again.
Lu Ping'an looked calm: "It's not the chief director."
"It's not enough for you to come up with a plan, and you are also the chief director. Can you bear it with your body?"
"I think it's okay."
"Forget it, if you get the chief director, you can't escape the anniversary National Day Gala in the future. Do you think that the capable are more work is just talk?"
"That's true."
Lu Ping'an nodded.
Just like Yao Ming and Liu Feiren.
If you are awesome, you have to be even more awesome.
Want to lie flat?
It's really unlikely.
This kind of thing will not happen just by force.
Unless the atmosphere changes more than ten years later.
"The current situation is the best."
Hu Qingquan sipped his coffee again with satisfaction.
Then he said to Lu Pingan: "After meeting this person tonight, you can go back. I'm here. It would be bad if someone over there needs you and you're not there."
Lu Pingan didn't refuse: "Okay, then I'll go. You should also pay attention to rest. There are more white hairs."
"You don't understand. More white hair is handsome."
"Okay, okay, you are Bi Zunlong and Fei Xiang. The older you are, the more attractive you are. The pressure on the master's wife is great~"
"Go away!"
The next day at noon, Lu Pingan and Matt Damon arrived in Beijing together.
They had lunch first after landing. Liu Qianqian, who came with them, was almost stunned when she saw Matt Damon.
Although Matt Damon's popularity in China is not as good as Brad Pitt and others at present,
But he is a Hollywood A-lister and an international superstar!
So he is the male lead?
"Sissi, this is your future comrade."
"Xiao Ma, this is the female lead."
Lu Ping'an introduced with a smile.
Matt Damon stood up with a smile, and very gentlemanly extended his hand and said in the Chinese he had just learned: "Hello, I am Matt Damon."
"Hello, I am Liu Yifei, you can call me Crystal."
Liu Xixi's English can finally be put to use in China.
She was not shy and behaved very generously.
Liu Xiaoli was also very satisfied with this.
A few days ago, she knew that Lu Ping'an would most likely find a powerful male actor when he went to the United States.
So she had reminded Liu Xixi many times to behave better and not embarrass your brother Ping'an.
Now it seems that the situation is good.
But what made her more satisfied was Lu Ping'an.
Several foreign actors at the scene, Matt Damon and Idris Elba (the black general) all respected Lu Ping'an very much.
It was also at this time that Liu Xiaoli truly felt Lu Ping'an's status in Hollywood.
People always talk about Hollywood directors, but Lu Pingan is actually very approachable. He even acts a little childish when playing with Liu Xixi, which gradually makes her have some illusions.
Of course, this also makes Liu Xiaoli even more grateful for her original decision.
Liu Xiaoli is playing a rich inner drama, while Lu Pingan has already started chatting.
When it comes to things at the wine table, China is the best.
There are several big guys at the scene, including Yang Dong and Han Sanpin from China Film Group, and Principal Zhang from Beijing Film Academy. There are also Wu Guohua and several producers who have agreed in advance. Now there are also people who accompany wine, so all the people present are veterans of the wine field. Lu Pingan doesn't have to think about anything, just watching Matt Damon and others go from calm to floating.
If everyone didn't have to attend the press conference in the afternoon, they would lie down and go out at noon. When they wake up again, they will see the sun of the next day.
After dinner, after arranging Matt Damon and others to stay in the hotel to rest, Liu Xixi and Lu Pingan returned to the company.
On the way, Liu Xixi excitedly said that she would give Matt Damon a warning when filming the action scenes.
Liu Xiaoli wanted to remind Liu Xixi to say thank you first.
But thinking about it, this is actually the best way now.
Saying thank you would make things awkward.
Unexpectedly, Lu Pingan spoke first: "Don't you want to say thank you? I found you a Hollywood A-lister."
"Thank you, brother Pingan!"
"Got it, act well next time, I have very high requirements."
"Even if my leg is broken, I will continue to act with crutches!"
"Hahaha, then I'll get you a pink crutch."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Liu Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief again, and then she felt like a light bulb now.
Oh, what a mistake!
She thought she should not follow him next time.
