China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

Chapter 171 We are fans, not fools

"Oh ho ho, man, this is crazy!"

It's still a Los Angeles set, and it's still Tony and other die-hard Batman fans.

Today is the three-week appointment date. "Insidious" has already completed the bet, and they came to the set again as scheduled to shoot the documentary and visit the set.

This kind of immersive and in-depth interaction with your favorite IP experience is something that no one will want to miss.

There were countless people who wanted to participate, and finally Lu Ping An gave 100 people a quota.

So now, as the Batman tank roars out, 100 fans instantly cheer and high-five each other, extremely excited.

As die-hard Batman fans, they will pay close attention to everything related to Batman.

With this kind of mentality, if someone is detrimental to "Batman", they will explode on the spot, just like they came to organize a sit-in in front of the set three weeks ago.

But if what they see and hear is beneficial to "Batman", then they will also be crazy about it.

Just like this time, the appearance of the latest generation of Batman tanks made everyone crazy.

The Batman chariot is an indispensable piece of Batman puzzle and one of the iconic objects of this IP.

If this piece of the puzzle is better than expected, Batman will be one step closer to being resurrected and even reaching new heights.

What this brings is that fans are more convinced of the crew and the director Lu Pingan.

"How's it going? Are you satisfied with the car?"

At this time, Lu Ping'an appeared and asked Tony with a smile.

And Tony's attitude is much better than at the beginning:

"So happy, Lu, this is my favorite version of the Batman vehicle and I can't wait to see it in the cinema."

"It won't be long. It will be on the big screen next year."

Lu Ping'an said, then smiled at Tony and reminded, "The premise is that there will be no more trouble during this period."

"Lu, we are not here to cause trouble."

"Of course I know, everyone is a fan, and it's normal to maintain it out of love, but not everyone loves it as much as you do."

Lu Ping'an said, extending his hand to signal everyone to continue moving forward. Then, while walking, he visited the set and introduced the various troubles of the "Batman" crew from acquiring IP to formation to production and filming.

As fans listened and looked at so many carefully crafted props, they also got to know Lu Pingan and the crew more about the same period.

This is what Lu Ping An wants.

Fan groups are objects that need to be united.

They are the main contributors to Batman Beyond's box office, and uniting them is certainly necessary.

It's like the future rice circle.

Lu Ping'an has learned how strong this kind of person's fighting ability is.

Three weeks ago, Lu Ping An used rhetoric as a delaying measure, using the success of "Insidious" to let them know that their directing ability is not as bad as they thought.

It worked well, no one sat still for three weeks, but it was only temporary.

After all, horror movies are different from big IP movies, and small-budget movies are different from big-budget movies.

For fans, the Batman IP is different from all other movies.

Even if Cameron came to direct, he couldn't satisfy all fans.

So after the fanatic fans calm down for a while, they will continue to do whatever they need to do.

Therefore, if we want to unite them, it is better to let them have an in-depth understanding of the entire production process.

The crew and fans interact, communicate with each other and understand each other.

Regardless of whether it's useful or not, at least show your attitude.

For example, now, Lu Pingan has organized fan groups to visit the crew, showing them a secret fifth-generation Batman tank, telling them about the crew's hardships along the way, and Lu Pingan's own general ideas for directing.

This makes fans feel that Lu Ping An has given them great respect.

Of course, respecting them or not, they just put it second. The most important thing is that Lu Ping'an gave Batman more respect than they expected!

This is important.

The effect of this was that Tony and others stood in the same trench as Lu Ping'an.

"I am Chinese. It is difficult for me to break into Hollywood from the other side of the Pacific. The resurrection of the Batman Future Trilogy may encounter various problems that other local directors do not encounter, but I have worked hard to make it successful. , please also believe me."

After half an hour of introduction, Lu Ping'an said finally to the fans.

Tony responded with understanding: "We understand your situation."

The mentality of the 100 fans present also changed a lot at this time.

Apart from anything else, at least the fact that Ping An Lu allows them to visit the set is already very satisfying.

Not to mention that Lu Ping An has solved everyone's questions one by one, such as not adding too many other messy elements, staying true to the original work, and also having the extremely cool Batman chariot, joining big casts from all over the world, etc.

Everything was satisfying.

And this is also the importance and respect for IP and fan groups.

Everyone has done this, what else can you do?

All that's left is to wait and see.

Tony, the leader, said: "Lu, I hope you can do what you say, we will always supervise you."

Lu Pingan sincerely promised: "Of course, as long as you don't interfere with the creation for no reason or cause trouble for no reason."

"Of course, we are fans, not fools."

"So much the better."

The visit, which lasted for more than an hour, ended and the fans exited in an orderly manner under Tony's organization.

Next, they will each receive a lunch and some Batman-related souvenirs, which makes everyone happy again.

This trip was worthwhile for them.

Of course, some things must be strictly followed, such as not disclosing sensitive information.

Tony will oversee this.

And this is also the role of the fan club.

This kind of people will be very united when they cause trouble for you, and they will also be very united when they defend you.

This is what Lu Ping An wants.

I don’t know if it can be used in the future, but it’s definitely the right thing to do.

After the fans left, it was just time for the crew to start work in the afternoon, and filming continued.

The current shooting plan for Batman is to shoot the literary parts first, and put the action scenes later.

The main reason is the availability of actors in literary operas.

For example, Morgan Freeman doesn't have many roles in the movie, only a few appearances, and they don't involve action scenes, so it doesn't take much time to shoot.

What is it like to film an actor like Morgan Freeman? In the words of Hu Qingquan, for this kind of person, you only need to give him a script and tell him what kind of effect you want, and he will figure out the positioning and opponent's movement himself. Everything from the position, the opponent's performance, the lighting, the way of serving, and even the camera position.

In the end, the director only needs to say "passed".

This is a top actor.

"pass!"

Lu Ping'an shouted the slogan, ending today's filming of Morgan Freeman.

After taking the photo and seeing the effect, Morgan Freeman smiled and asked Hu Qingquan: "Hu, what kind of tea should I drink today?"

"Pu'er, you must have never drank it." Hu Qingquan also answered with a smile.

"Pu'er, I've heard of it and drank it once, but I've long forgotten the taste."

"That's just right. Come on, Morgan."

The two walked away laughing.

Lu Ping'an looked at the number given by the system and it was [105%].

The cast of the original version went above and beyond, and it was clearly Morgan Freeman who was in a good mood and performed exceptionally well.

Morgan Freeman, although he doesn't have many scenes, doesn't have much impact on the whole film.
