China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

After more than an hour, the movie ended.

"Is the movie good?"

"It's very beautiful. You wouldn't have guessed that the murderer turned out to be the heroine's best friend until you saw it later!"

Shu Chang looked unfinished, and immediately asked, "Sissi, do you think this movie was actually shot in China?"

Liu Qianqian nodded: "Yes, I heard Brother Ping'an say so."

"That's such a pity. If it were filmed in China, you would be the protagonist and I would be the vicious best friend. It would be great for us to work together."

"What a beautiful thought."

The two little girls chatted about the movie and followed the flow of people to the next destination.

The three-day box office of "Happy Death Day" will also be released soon.

14 million nationwide.

Not particularly high, but definitely not low either.

The data is slightly higher than expected.

Relevant media also gave the final box office forecast, which is probably around 35 million to 45 million. The biggest obstacle to the box office is that "House of Flying Daggers" will be released in more than two weeks. By then, "Death Day" will be on the right track. Afraid of being terminated.

In the box office data, each of the 43 planetary theaters held by Lu Ping An is about 20 points higher than the other theaters.

This includes the diversion effect caused by the opening of new movie theaters and ticket price promotions.

In addition, it is difficult to say whether other theaters have concealed their box office reports.

This kind of thing is already a chronic problem in the industry, especially when it comes to imported films that are not particularly valued.

Lu Ping'an had no intention of waving the flag and shouting to fight against it.

If you can't handle it, just let nature take its course.

And anyway, he is already a theater company, so compared to other producers, the losses he has suffered are small enough.

In addition to concealment by theater chains, piracy is also a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

"Death Anniversary" already has a disc on the market. Although the impact was strong during this period, it will still affect the box office to some extent.

Therefore, although "Death Day" is not enough to watch compared to blockbusters such as "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Troy", which have a box office of 70 to 80 million, no one thinks that it is not good. Everyone thinks that it is good to achieve this result.

The three-day box office of "Death Day" has been released, and online reviews have also been released.

There are good and bad, but generally good reviews.

After all, this is a blockbuster film that made Lu Ping'an change his destiny in Hollywood and grossed US$115 million at the global box office.

Foreigners all love to watch it, so how can it be worse?

And the quality of the film is indeed not bad, and it also has a strong sense of Lu Ping An's imagination.

In addition to the stunning reversal, Lu Pingan's control of comedy elements has also been recognized to a certain extent.

This also makes people who were skeptical at the beginning no longer doubt whether Lu Ping An can handle comedy.

Because of this, everyone's expectations for "Wonderful Night" are even higher.

Of course, many people feel that the level of road safety has dropped a lot.

After all, "Death Day" has the lowest rating compared to Lu Pingan's previous films, only 7.4.

However, such doubts were quickly dismissed.

Because the next day, "Hunger Platform" started filming.

. . . . . .

It is still the No. 1 store of Planet Cinema.

Today Jiang Wen brought Duan Long, Yan Ni, Luo Jingmin and others here for the premiere road show.

As a new cinema, in addition to giving away profits and promotions, having film crews come over to hold activities is also a publicity tool.

The main creators of "Death Day" were unable to come, so "Hungry Platform" naturally wanted to be the first customer.

Jiang Wen appeared as Lu Ping'an's friend at this time.

Lu Ping'an was filming in London, and Hu Qingquan was also following him. There was no one behind him, so Jiang Wen, as a teacher, naturally had to help keep an eye on it.

This is what Jiang Wen said to reporters.

However, everyone in the industry knows that Jiang Wen is also one of the creators, but his identity cannot be revealed.

But this also makes people speculate whether the style of the movie is Jiang Wen or Lu Pingan.

Regarding this point, Jiang Wen said directly:

"That day, Ping An told me that there was a script that he wanted me to consult with to make changes. As a result, I got the script and spent a whole month unable to think of anything that could be changed. This is not to say that this script has no shortcomings. On the contrary, it is exactly the same. Because of these shortcomings, the film overall presents an extremely balanced state."

The reporter asked: "So you really didn't change anything in the end?"

"changed."

Jiang Wen smiled and said, "Corrected the typo."

Everyone laughed.

At the same time, it also raised high enough expectations for the movie.

Soon, after the protagonists interacted, the movie started.

Hours later, various reviews of "Hunger Platform" were posted online.

"Jiang Wen couldn't change the script."

"Explicit, indeed too explicit!"

"It will be banned at any time, go and see it!"

"It's a pity that this movie didn't win an award."

One of the most talked about topics is:

"Lu Ping An's biggest movie to date!"

After netizens clicked in and read the article with some spoilers, although they were disappointed and felt that it was different from what they thought, it also brought more curiosity to the movie.

How much this will add to the film's box office is unclear.

Lu Ping'an doesn't value this either.

What he values ​​​​is "ratings".

The next day the ratings for "Hunger Platform" came out.

8.4 points.

After learning the result, Lu Pingan smiled.

In fact, his expectations for "Death Anniversary" and "Hungry Platform" are not only about the movie box office, but also about online ratings.

Lu Pingan does not think that the box office of "Death Anniversary" and "Hungry Platform" can reach an incredible level.

Both films have their limitations.

The former was released too late and is already available on disc.

The latter is less commercial and more selective among moviegoers.

Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on these two to slash the box office of "House of Flying Daggers".

But it's not good at the box office, but it's still good in terms of word-of-mouth.

Killing people and killing hearts are indispensable.

Therefore, a movie rating plan similar to Douban came into being.

This is to prepare for the Douban website that Lu Ping An will establish next.

Before the emergence of domestic movie rating websites, the public did not have a particularly specific reference object for the quality of movies.

Many of them are authoritative film critics who have the final say.

If "big Vs and experts" say it's good, then it's really good. It doesn't matter what the public thinks. Does the public's film aesthetics count?

And more often than not, authoritative film critics have different opinions, making it difficult for the public to have an intuitive and unified concept.

Therefore, the emergence of Douban has indeed broken this monopoly to a certain extent.

This is what Lu Ping An has to do now.

A few months ago, he assigned a group and asked them to post on Tianya as a third party, conduct detailed reviews and interact with movie fans, rate current movies and collect movie reviews.

This is a simplified version of Douban.

Because of this, the scores given by countless netizens appear particularly fair.

Over the past few months, there have been very few disagreements among the films that have been rated, and the scores are basically "accepted."

With authority, movie fans will recognize it even more.

Whether such an operation with no profit will ultimately work, Lu Ping An will not have naive ideas such as changing the movie environment. After all, the original time and space Douban cannot do it.

Therefore, his first purpose was to open up a new industry for himself.

It doesn't even matter how much money this industry can earn him.

The important thing is that he must have such a public opinion position.

Of course, since this is done, it will definitely have some effect on public opinion.

No, as the number of participants increases, impartiality becomes more and more recognized. Soon, netizens are looking forward to saying what rating "House of Flying Daggers" will have. Surely it will be no problem to exceed Hero's 6.8 points, right?

In this regard, Lu Pingan himself was worried about Zhang Weiping and Lao Mouzi.

Since May, the ratings of various domestic blockbusters have been very good.

The average score of "Lord of the Rings 3" in March was 9.0 points.

April's "The Day After Tomorrow" scored 8.2 points.

"Troy" at the end of May scored 7.6 points.

"Happy Death Day" in June.

The film "Original Time" only has a score of 7. Now with the bonus of Ping An Lu and the super high box office, coupled with the advanced nature of the subject matter, the score of "Happy Death Day" has now reached 7.4.

This rating is the lowest among all Lu Ping An's movies.

Therefore, Lu Pingan was scolded by some netizens and film critics.

But soon "Hungry Platform" came out.

The movie "Original Time and Space" has a good rating, 7.9 points.

Now it is still because of the transcendence of the film and the advancement of the subject matter that the film score has reached 8.4 points.

This is the same rating given by Goldfinger.

A movie with an 8.4 score can definitely be considered a masterpiece.

And because of the "explicit" content of the movie, it is favored by film critics who pride themselves on being far-sighted.

Overall, none of these movies scored lower than a 7.

What about House of Flying Daggers?

The original Douban score of "House of Flying Daggers" was only 5 points at the beginning!

More than ten years later, it gradually rose to 6.5 points.

Therefore, there are many good films with scores of 7 or even 8 above.

How will fans react after seeing the film?

How should we deal with "House of Flying Daggers" then?

How much bonus will this bring to the next release of the new version of "Night at the Museum", which has a score of 7.7 in the original film and now Goldfinger has given it a score of 8.5?

Lu Pingping expressed his expectation.
