China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

"Bell, how are you doing?"

In Los Angeles, the creators of "Batman" gathered together, and Lu Pingping asked Bell.

"not too good."

Bell shook his head helplessly.

As for the reason, everyone knows that Bale's performance as Batman is not well received in the market.

In the industry, he is currently being ridiculed.

The reason is that in an earlier interview, Bale said that he would play a more serious Batman than the previous one. As a result, "That won't work at all" became the most unified answer.

In fact, the serious Batman that Bell calls is also the tone of Batman in the current Safe Road trilogy.

In other words, "That simply won't work" is not only an evaluation of Bell, but also an evaluation of Lu Ping'an's trilogy.

No superhero movie is serious.

This is the current inertial thinking of the American people towards superhero movies.

Of course Lu Pingping doesn't care about this.

He already knew what the outcome would be.

So what he is looking forward to more is actually the reversal of public opinion after the release.

The more bearish the outlook is, the greater the reversal will be.

It would not be beautiful if everyone held him up to the sky.

Just like the current state of the great poet.

Why are you mentioning him?

Having said that, Lu Ping'an knows how the movie will be received in the end.

But the rest don't know.

The negative emotions caused by group ridicule will also have a certain impact on future announcements.

So before the official promotion started, Lu Ping An simply asked everyone to watch the finished film.

There is no need to abide by these rules and regulations when necessary.

Team atmosphere is the most important.

So Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "It seems you need a little confidence?"

"Of course, it's so needed, we all need it, right?"

The other creators responded one after another.

Clearly everyone needs a shot in the arm.

Lu Ping'an no longer sells off.

Soon, a group of people took the lead in watching the finished film of "Batman" in the top screening room.

As the movie was shown, everyone looked lively.

The confidence in my heart is also rising step by step.

By the time the movie ended, everyone's eyes were completely different.

"It will be hard work for everyone in the next month or so."

After watching the movie, Lu Pingan finally said.

"no problem!"

Everyone continues to respond positively.

Batman is a trilogy.

The first part has seen the light of day, and the next two parts will most likely be retained.

For the work, continuity is guaranteed.

For actors, this is the future and the future.

So tonight, everyone can finally have a good sleep.

When I returned to my villa from the top, Hu Qingquan was already there.

"You're back. How's it going in Italy?"

Lu Pingan asked.

"Very good, haha, very good."

Hu Qingquan laughed and had crow's feet. It seemed that the situation was beyond expectations.

Yes, it is "Brokeback Mountain" after all.

In Hu Qingquan's view, as long as "Brokeback Mountain" wins an award, no matter what award it wins, it will be a big surprise.

This means that Lu Pingan has made zero breakthrough in feature film awards.

However, Hu Qingquan remained calm as to whether the film could win awards, and then started talking about metaphysics.

"It won't work if you say it. From today on, everyone should just pretend that this is not the case."

Hu Qingquan forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart and stopped himself from fantasizing.

This is a good mentality.

Lu Ping'an agreed very much.

Even now, he doesn't expect "Brokeback Mountain" to win the Golden Lion Award like The Originals.

Who knows what will happen in the future.

So don't set your expectations so high.

Like Hu Qingquan, it would be good to stop thinking about it.

Next, the publicity work for "Batman" will proceed step by step.

The fan base of "Batman" is already large, and with the 30 million US dollars budget for promotion and distribution, although this money is not as much as the current "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "Star Wars 3", the promotion is still popular But it can steadily remain around the top three in North America.

This is all thanks to so many bad-mouthing media.

This made Lu Ping'an feel what black and red are and what red is.

Anyway, whether you praise or criticize, as long as the popularity is there, the announcement will be successful.

Lu Ping'an doesn't ask Xuanfa to crush him, he just comes in steadily.

"Batman" was announced for release in North America, and "Crazy Stone" has also begun its final announcement in China.

Lu Ping'an was not there, but he called out from the air.

The slogan full of gimmicks, "My most anticipated Chinese-language movie this year," has produced quite an effect from the very beginning.

It's just that some people think that Lu Ping'an is too crazy and not cautious enough.

When a person reaches a certain height, what he says has a credibility effect.

The propaganda is inconsistent with the facts, which is an overdraft of credit.

If "Stone" doesn't work, and Ping An will use this kind of rhetoric next time, its influence will be greatly reduced.

So Lu Ping An is gambling with his reputation.

Moreover, saying such words will offend people. For example, the great poet was very unhappy. He decided to release "The Promise" this year, which was a slap in the face!

Many others felt that Lu Ping'an's tone was too loud.

But so what?

"Stone" is originally a movie produced by Star Film and Television.

Isn’t it wrong to not vigorously promote your own movies?

Besides, what can you do if you don't like me?

I, Lu Ping An, am a theater operator now. Can you try talking loudly to me?

Of course, this is indeed the case when it comes to credibility.

Fortunately, "Stone" is indeed the strongest Chinese commercial film this year, bar none.

Time will prove everything.

The quality of "Stone" really shows up in the end.

Everyone will also know that Lu Ping'an never talks big.

The announcement of "Stone" has been soaring, and "Batman" has also ushered in a moment to witness a miracle.

On May 31, the world premiere of "Batman" was held in Tokyo.

All the creative sects who have been busy in the past few days have basically calmed down at this moment.

So far, the number of bullish and bearish opinions on Batman has basically remained unchanged.

The reason is because the previous movies were terrible.

Meanwhile fans still love Batman.

All of these issues will have to be resolved after the final film is released.

So the main creators are all lying flat at the moment.

The ones who are really nervous are actually the relatives and friends who care about Lu's safety.

As we all know, "Batman" is about a safe road to Hollywood.

If you succeed, your status will be advanced and your future will be bright.

If you fail, the worst-case scenario is to go back home. No one from the mainland will go global. At the same time, you will suffer serious losses and experience the darkest moment in your life.

In this regard, Lu Ping'an, who was sitting backstage, waiting for the premiere to begin, watching his phone crackling with text messages, calmly crossed his legs to another foot.

There was no reply, just quietly enjoying the feeling of peace of mind at the moment.

"Lu Sang, it's time to start."

At this time, a staff member who could speak Chinese came to remind Lu Ping'an and put down his mobile phone and walked to the stage with the creators.

. . . . . .

Old America, at this time countless Batman fans are waiting for "Tony"'s blog update.

Tony was the leader of the fans who sat in front of the Batman set.

Now he is the number one celebrity on Facebook, commanding tens of thousands of Batman fans.

Across the pond today, "Batman" premieres.

As the number one fan, Tony naturally wanted to go over to inspect the goods as soon as possible.

It is now 9 o'clock in the morning. Counting the time, the premiere in Tokyo has ended, and Tony even has more than an hour to write a movie review.

But why hasn't it been sent out yet?

Many fans are already a little anxious at this time.

Many people began to speak on his message board:

"Isn't it "Batman" that was sent again?"

"I have long said that we should not use Chinese directors!"

"No one can help, Batman is dead!"

"Don't be anxious. Wait a minute. It won't happen so soon. There will be a question and answer session at the end of the premiere."

"Yeah, don't worry, everyone, I don't think other bloggers have posted it."

"I have a bad feeling."

"Your hunch is wrong."

"My Batman, are you really going to die?"

There are more and more comments, and the mentality is getting more and more anxious.

Fortunately, this mood only lasted for less than an hour, and Tony finally posted.

"This is Batman!"

A brief update that makes all Batman fans’ eyes light up.

Everyone suddenly became excited and began to fight and scold.

Can you write more?

Without thinking much, Tony posted again.

"Sorry, I was so excited. I chatted with the creators for a while after the movie. I just returned to the hotel, so I can only use this way to reassure everyone."

Another piece of news that has countless Batman fans staring at their computer screens.

Then there was another one: "The movie is so good. Really, I have never seen a superhero movie like this. Lu really understands Batman and how to make movies. He is simply a master!"

"Shet, can you please write in more detail?"

"Would you know, what we want is movie reviews!"

"Don't worry, everyone, as long as the movie is good to watch, Tony is not a professional film critic, so don't attack him."

"Yes, give him some time and write slowly."

"Do it faster, do it faster!"

"."

Seeing the surge of comments, Tony got excited again.

But everyone is right, we can’t whet our appetite any more.

So he quickly went to the bathroom, rinsed his face, and began to write his own, unprofessional film review seriously.

"This is a very different kind of superhero movie."

"Superheroes in the past and now are pure science fiction films. They are either bitten and mutated, or they are born with powerful powers. They save the world and the universe at every turn. However, Director Lu has made superheroes into a noir film. How does it feel? It’s quite magical to say the least.”

"On this point, I personally asked Director Lu after the premiere, and his answer was that it is an opera style that matches the Eastern martial arts model."

"What does it mean? Opera represents grandeur. It's hard to describe specifically. You will know when you watch it. The whole movie has a strong sense of momentum, which makes people want to stop."

"In this movie, Batman is no longer a non-human being. He is not invincible. He does not fly up to the sky and into the earth at all times, with special effects flying around. Instead, he is an ordinary person who is also afraid. He will flinch after experiencing life and death, and he will also retreat when facing powerful opponents. If you lose yourself, you will be helpless when trying to save others and the city.”

"What makes him different from other superheroes is that he does not eliminate evil by killing all the villains, which would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. He grew up with evil. He knows the suffering of the people. What evil erases is the hope of Gotham. He Just bring hope to Gotham, save a city, save one person first, save one person, give faith first, faith is hope."

"In the movie, Wayne is a gentleman who doesn't care about his deeds, and he is also a knight who enjoys revenge. He walks around the world, punishing rape and eliminating evil, and he is a hero who is welcomed by everyone."

"'Chivalry' is a Chinese concept. It is very similar to the gunslingers in Western movies who kill decisively and freely. I can't describe it, but it really fits. I dare say that this is what Batman should be like. "

"Wayne let his chivalry permeate the entire Gotham, dispel the despair, decadence and self-destruction that hung over Gotham, reshape the rules, and return Gotham to peace."

"Wow, I really don't know how to describe it. Forgive my poor writing, I can only say that our Batman is alive!"

"I would watch it again, no, five times!"

"."

There are thousands of unprofessional film reviews written eloquently.

The other fans were both sad and happy after seeing it.

The joy is that not only Tony, but also others who have watched the movie also received rave reviews.

The pain is also obvious, because I can't watch the movie in person now, and because of the unprofessional movie reviews.

Many people swear that after watching it, they will write a real movie review and slap it in Tony's face to show him that reading more books is really useful!

But no matter what, old American Batman fans now know that Lu Ping'an's "Batman" will not disappoint.

This is good, this is good!

So what everyone has to do next is to wait for the North American release and then contribute a vote.

If it is really as good as these good reviews, then please contribute more votes.

So many people asked that day: "When will it be released in North America?"

. . . . . .

Old and American fans are waiting for the North American release.

Many domestic fans are also looking forward to its release in the mainland.

After the premiere in Tokyo, reviews of Batman were also picked up by mainland media.

After all, this is an era when Hollywood movies are absolutely correct. The old American media all say that Batman is very good. Naturally, the mainland media at this time will not sing the opposite.

Not only will it not play devil’s advocate, but it will also add some meaning that does not exist originally.

For example, the martial arts Tony mentioned.

The reason why Nolan's "Knight's End" was named this is indeed related to "Knightsman".

A protagonist whose parents both died, went through hardships and worked hard to become a hero.

This kind of thing should not be too familiar to Chinese people.

So now, almost no one who has watched the movie thinks that it was not made by a Chinese director.

The fact that a Chinese director can produce such a good film has made many old American media give thumbs up. This is something that makes people more proud than a Chinese who has a great Hollywood director.

"Using the universal narrative of Chinese Jianghu to explain the old and American superheroes, it has been well received by the audience."

Which Chinese would not be excited when seeing this kind of headline?

Even Lu Ping'an himself was surprised when he found out.

Can it still be interpreted this way?

I didn't even think of it myself.

News of the success of the Tokyo premiere is brewing in mainland China.

Many in the industry saw more than just a movie.

In addition to the film's success, another type of Chinese culture was recognized.

What everyone can see is that a serious Hollywood director is really going to be born in China!

The first ones to be happy are Lu Ping An’s friends.

While everyone heaved a sigh of relief, they immediately started shouting at their friends to prepare for Lu Ping An's support and contribute to the box office. By the way, they also pretended to compete.

On the set of "Sunshine Like Flowers", during a break, Tong Lei asked the male lead Yiwei: "Yiwei, did you know that Director Lu's "Batman" is released?"

Zhou Yiwei replied with a smile: "Of course I know, I have appeared in it."

"real?!"

Tong Lei was very surprised, and she couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes.

"Of course, I will be on stage during the domestic premiere."

Zhou Yiwei calmly raised his hand and hugged Tong Lei, "When it comes out, let's watch it together?"

Tong Lei nodded shyly.

Zhou Yiwei didn't know that a disaster was coming in his life.

Compared with Zhou Yiwei, Zhang Songwen's current situation is not very good. At this time, a student at Nortel asked: "Teacher, why didn't Director Lu take you with him when he was developing in Hollywood?"

This is very rude.

The reason is still the media fanning the flames before.

After all, Zhang Songwen is indeed the worst around Lu Ping'an.

However, Zhang Songwen didn't answer, and Zhu Yawen on the side stepped in and said, "You know nothing, our teacher Zhang has a guest appearance in Batman!"

"Real or fake, what a great guy!"

"awesome."

"."

After an envious cheer, the students then asked about the difference between Hollywood and Mainland China.

But the student who asked the question just now was very embarrassed.

Zhang Songwen didn't care and told the students what it was like to come to Hollywood.

The majesty of teachers shines in teachers again.

Ning Hao was also very happy at the moment.

The more stable Lu Ping'an is, the more valuable his words will be.

In the past, the sentence "The Chinese-language movie I am most looking forward to this year" would have been 10% more powerful.

So now, Lu Ping'an is about to be promoted to a serious director in Hollywood, so the power of this sentence can reach at least 15 points.

With different identities, the weight of words will naturally be different.

Of course, with that comes pressure.

"Stone" must not overturn.

Otherwise I won’t be able to hold my head up!

At this moment, Ning Hao suddenly felt the urge to pee. It must be due to a bad prostate, yes, it must be.

Friends are happy, but not everyone is a friend.

Jealousy and disdain are common.

Here the great poet has become a representative again.

"This has just premiered, it's too early to be happy!"

He complained to Chen Hong.

Chen Hong no longer knew what to say.

The higher Lu Ping'an flies, the more unhappy the great poet becomes.

Chen Hong could only shake his head at this, he couldn't be persuaded by this kind of thing.

But what the great poet said is indeed correct.

The premiere was just a success, but the last thing you look at for a commercial film is the box office.

The cost of "Batman" is 100 million, and the box office needs more than 300 million to make back the money.

If you don't make money, you fail.

So it's still early.

That's what it says.

But for Lu Ping An, how could he lose in the current situation?

On June 6, "Batman" premiered in Los Angeles.

Lu Pingping has never seen such a spectacular sight.

Nearly a thousand fans gathered in front of the Los Angeles Premiere Theater.

This posture shocked Bell.

If the movies were not good, they would be torn to pieces today!

But fortunately, the film quality of "Batman Begins" has become extremely popular due to the dual effects of Ping An's use of the visible hand of public opinion and the invisible hand of fans' active fermentation of word-of-mouth.

This feeling is just like the "Return of the Great Sage" back then.

Now all old and American Batman fans already know a concept.

That is: Batman is back!

"After nine years of silence and a near-death experience, Bruce Wayne is back strong today!"

"Wayne: This time, I will reinvent Batman!"

"I grow with sin, and I keep the light in my heart!"

"I'm a human, not a god, born to be a superhero? That's not me, I'm Bruce Wayne!"

"..."

It’s very much a slogan for secondary school students.

Of course, Lu Ping'an didn't come up with these.

All thanks to the die-hard fans of Lao America.

It is said that these secondary slogans are extremely popular among fans.

So a chain reaction occurred.

The fan carnival is ongoing.

You can never imagine the limits of fans!

In the past, Lu Ping'an didn't understand why girls in the fandom were so fanatical.

The same goes for Tony who sat in front of the set earlier.

Even though he had seen it before, he still felt that it was for profit.

but now.

Okay, although I still can’t understand this spiritual thing.

But what's wrong with that.

Lu Pingan smiled and led the creators to wave to the fans in front of the theater.

Suddenly, there was a roar of mountains and tsunami in front of the theater.

"Lu, thank you for bringing Batman back!"

"Bell!"

"."

Fans are wild.

Lu Ping'an was also very enthusiastic inside.

It’s all box office!

The more the merrier! (End of chapter)
