China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

After making an appearance and discussing cooperation, Lu Ping An’s trip to the Shanghai Film Festival is basically over.

The results are good, and for Maoyan Ticketing, Lu Ping An has only one requirement, so that Maoyan Ticketing will become an indispensable tool for movie fans to watch movies and even purchase various types of tickets in the future.

We can also use this to launch a wave of listings in the future.

After the incident was over, Lu Ping'an ran away directly to Laomei.

I can’t help but run away. At this film festival, “Twenty Again”, “Painted Skin” and Cheng Long’s “Baby Project” are all being promoted.

Three movies, three women.

Only Lizi inside knew that Lu Ping'an and Yan Danchen were there.

Fortunately, Lizi didn't cause trouble. After arriving in the magic city, she held hands with Yan Danchen, acting like good sisters, but from time to time she would tease Lu Pingping with her eyes.

Gao Yuanyuan looked the same as before, appearing to be an old schoolmate, but actually planning a sneak trip to the Magic City with Lu Pingan via text message.

She sent her room number and then went to a certain restaurant in Shanghai. It was said to be delicious and she wanted to go together.

Without waiting for a reply, Master Liu also came. Today she came with Tang Ren and his group to gain knowledge.

Liu Shishi, who had been diagnosed with the second pulse of Ren and Du, became more and more courageous. On the surface, he was an obedient little lion, but secretly he also asked Lu Ping'an's room number via text message, and then said that he would come quietly to eat him at night.

Generally speaking, it is not a particularly serious Shura field.

But it’s really difficult to deal with it at night.

Fortunately, Ping An Lu also had a plan in place.

With Mr. Zhou and Kun'er coming over to invite Lu Pingan to visit a stall on Nanjing Road in the evening, Lu Pingan explained the itinerary to everyone:

"Sorry, I have an evening flight to the United States, maybe next time."

Everyone looked regretful.

Then they made appointments for next time.

As a result, it was cheaper for Sister Yu.

"I heard that you are going to the United States?"

On the way to the airport, Lu Pingan received a call from Sister Yu.

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"I asked Lao Hu, congratulations, you will leave a star in Hollywood."

"Thanks."

"The stars are not as beautiful as the sun."

"Are you in Los Angeles?"

"Wait for you."

Sister Yu spoke concisely and without any disguise, and hung up the phone after speaking.

Lu Ping'an quickly copied "I Love You Goodbye" in the system. He knew that Sister Yu would definitely mention this drama by then.

The next night, on the big bed in Sister Yu's villa, Sister Yu drew circles on Lu Ping'an's chest after she recovered. Then, as Lu Ping'an expected, she talked about "I Love You Goodbye".

This drama was launched in the mainland half a month ago, and the ratings were average.

Of course Yu Feihong is already very satisfied with this.

It is a very fulfilling thing to see your work become a star.

Then the two of them talked about some things about the TV series, such as filming techniques, screenwriter's shortcomings, etc., and then Yu Feihong suddenly asked:

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"Too many kissing scenes!"

Lu Pingan directly gave her the answer she wanted.

Yu Feihong was very happy to have his G-spot hit.

"Who told you not to act?"

"I'm a great director."

"You can also help me guide."

"Okay, my bad, that's it."

"That's pretty much it."

Yu Feihong is like a little girl, what she wants is not the facts, but the attitude, and she actually looks quite cute.

But soon she turned back to her young woman appearance. She held Lu Pingan's face and looked at each other: "What should I do if I really can't quit you?"

"How many times have you watched "Brokeback Mountain"? The lines are so familiar."

"At least five times."

Sister Yu played with Lu Pingan's lips, "I want to go to the car like Scarlett in the movie. I haven't tried it in the car yet. It's best to watch the sunrise in the car."

"This is an old America. I drive out in the early hours of the morning and still do that. I'm not afraid of being robbed."

"I don't care, I need to be in the car anyway, and I need it now."

As Sister Yu said, she picked up Lu Ping and walked out of the garage, insisting on being willful.

"The older you get, the more willful you become?"

"It's not all you who feed Diao's appetite."

The two of them came to the garage naked, and when the car door opened, the Porsche's MacPherson suspension underwent another compression test.

It wasn't until Cheng Long came to Laomei on the third day that the two ended their annual date.

The next day, July 1, "Peak 3" was launched in the United States.

At the same time, "Twenty Again" is still being released in China.

Ten days after its release, the box office exceeded 130 million.

At the same time, it has also begun to be released in Hong Kong, Bayan, Southeast Asia and other places.

The box office is not bad. The famous name of Lu Ping'an, the novel and interesting ideas and plot, and the common concept of family love in East Asia are still very attractive.

Xiangjiang took in a box office of HK$3.46 million in three days of release. There is no suspense about the total box office exceeding 15 million, and it is very possible that it will exceed 20 million.

This result seems very poor, but movies with a box office of more than 15 million Hong Kong dollars can already be ranked in the top six of the Chinese box office list in Hong Kong during this period, and movies with a box office of more than 20 million can be ranked in the top three!

The box office in Wanwan is also good, with 26 million Taiwan dollars in one week of release, which is the top result among Chinese films. If there are no surprises, it will not be a big problem to become the number one Chinese film box office list in Wanwan this year, and it can even break into the top five in the annual box office list. .

The high box office brought about a surge in the popularity of the movie's songs and Yan Danchen and others on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is the right time for the main creators to hold road shows across the Taiwan Strait and three places.

Lu Ping'an is not here, so Guorong will lead the team to meet with fans these days.

Guorong knew that Yan Danchen was Lu Ping'an's woman, so he took great care of her. With him around, Lu Ping'an felt at ease.

Yan Danchen will continue to run road shows in the three places across the Taiwan Strait for about 5 days, and then continue to run in the Mainland for 5 days before announcing the end of all trips.

After that, she will join the cast of "Peak 3".

For her, in fact, the moment "Twenty Again" exceeded 100 million, she had already exceeded the goal of this mission.

It will not be easy for the movie to break 200 million next, because the real rivals are coming in the summer season, so it is just right to end it at this time.

On July 10, 20 days after the release of "Twenty Again", the mainland box office exceeded 180 million. On the same day, Lu Ping'an temporarily left the crew of "The Peak 3" and returned to the mainland to attend the premiere of "Initial D".

"Initial D" is the most anticipated movie this year by movie fans in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia.

The film "The Original Time" was not well publicized in the mainland, but it still earned 63 million, ranking fourth among Chinese films of the year.

In Xiangjiang, Xuanfa was still lacking, but it directly won Xiangjiang's first place in 2005 with a record of 37 million.

At the same time, the film's overseas revenue also reached 23 million US dollars.

This is enough to illustrate the appeal of this film to movie fans.

And now.

Lu Ping An + Jay + Edison + Drag Racing Big IP.

Too much talent and good looks.

Young fans and moviegoers are already hungry and thirsty.

According to Maoyan ticket pre-sale data.

As of the premiere on July 10, the online pre-sale box office of "Initial D" in the Mainland has exceeded 30 million, and the total pre-sale box office has reached 51 million.

The record set by "Twenty Again" lasted only 20 days before being broken.

This directly brought about a series of knock-on effects.

The valuation of Maoyan tickets has soared.

The value of Lu Ping An and various main creators has increased.

Second-round advertising sponsorship prices soar

Everyone in the industry is amazed.

Many people feel like they are in another world.

How can I remember that for movies before this, it was a big deal that the total box office exceeded 50 million.

Now the pre-sales alone exceed 50 million? !

This world is so magical!

They can’t keep up with the development of the world!

Some people are amazed, some are looking forward to it, and of course there are also those who are always disappointed.

And this time the reason why everyone is bearish is not because of doubts about the level of Lu Ping An.

It’s about sympathy for the competitive environment of “Initial D”.

You know, the "Domestic Protection Month" has now passed.

So the next opponents of "Initial D" will be a number of Hollywood blockbusters.

"Mission Impossible 3", "Garfield 2", "The Caller" and "Cars".

The biggest threat among them is "Mission: Impossible 3".

Can Lu Ping An continue to compete under such a huge Hollywood IP? Countless people are waiting to see.

Not only in the mainland, but also in Xiangjiangwanwan, South Korea Neon and even Southeast Asia, "Initial D" is also its opponent.

And when everyone looked at the box office, Lu Pingan was still the same, looking at something other than the box office.

The Jiahe Cinema Line acquired by Lu Ping An covers not only the three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, but also many countries in Southeast Asia.

Moreover, since Lu Ping An took over, these theaters have been further renovated and expanded. Now, it is time for a few blockbuster movies to completely revitalize the theaters.

It not only revitalizes theaters, but also revitalizes the radiating influence of Star Movies and even Chinese-language movies.

This is very important, because before this, Chinese-language films wanted to enter other Southeast Asian countries, but there were no theaters, and there were many constraints.

Xiangjiang Film achieved this goal earlier, but later due to the policies of various countries and the loneliness of Xiangjiang Film itself, it did not seize the opportunity in its subsequent development.

Now that Lu Ping'an is here, with the assistance of China Film Group Corporation, and the high quality of the film, we can do it!

But before that, "Wonderful Night 1" had not caught up with this free ride. At that time, he did not control the theater chain, and there were no relevant policies. "Twenty Again" had sold the adaptation rights to many countries in Southeast Asia. The reason is that due to the protection of adaptation rights, the domestic version cannot currently be fully released in Southeast Asia.

Therefore, "Initial D" is just right for this kind of thing. Even if the effect is not good, it is good to gain more fans.

Going back to the movie itself, just like in China, in theaters in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries, as well as in South Korea and other places, the opponent "Initial D" encountered when it was released was still "Mission: Impossible 3".

Although the actual release time of the two is staggered by a week and a half, it will definitely have an impact.

In this regard, media from various places have actually begun to publicize this war.

"The most talented director from China PK Mission: Impossible"

"The most popular Chinese star + the most popular director PK Tom Cruise"

"Asian movies PK Hollywood movies"

"."

Various headlines are eye-catching.

Overall, Mission: Impossible is definitely better.

After all, it is a veteran Hollywood IP.

Tom Cruise is no ordinary person.

Although Lu Ping'an is outstanding, look at the team he leads.

Although Jay Chou is famous, one is a singer, and the other is not even an actor at the level of the Asian King. It is definitely not comparable to Tom Cruise.

In this regard, Lu Pingan does not object to the media using this method to divert traffic.

On the contrary, he was quite supportive.

Because at this moment, he and "Mission: Impossible 3" are both competitors and collaborators, and both are beneficial to Lu Ping'an.

In terms of competition, "Mission: Impossible 3" suffered a box office decline.

There are many reasons. One of them is that "Mission: Impossible 3" uses a lot of Chinese elements, such as the location of the magical city of Lujiazui.

However, the film studio did not fully publicize and praise the film, and the "Chinese elements" displayed turned out to be biased towards the "black China" side, so that the box office in the mainland was lukewarm.

In addition, international movie fans don’t know enough about the film’s Chinese footage, which will have a greater impact on the audience’s film experience.

At the same time, although "Mission: Impossible 3" tried its best to create the latest scenes, it lost an important part of attracting fans because the plot was not outstanding enough.

Therefore, "Mission: Impossible 3" became the lowest-grossing film in the series, not even surpassing the first film.

But having said that, even if "Mission: Impossible 3" suffered a box office decline, no matter what people say, it is still a super big Hollywood IP.

No matter how low the box office is, it still has a box office of close to 400 million US dollars.

So in general, from Lu Ping'an's point of view, the two movies in his theater chain are having a huge impact, which is definitely beneficial and harmless to the theaters, and can play a role in stimulating the market and revitalizing the theater chain.

"Initial D" will definitely not be able to compete with it in the global market, but in the Asian market, it still has a chance of winning.

Hollywood-level production, more comfortable plots, world-renowned directors and well-known Asian stars, similar cultures, songs with similar aesthetics, etc.

Even if the final box office is still not as good as "Mission: Impossible 3", as long as it's close, it's a win.

If "Initial D" partially defeats "Mission: Impossible 3", needless to say, this will not only be a victory for Ping An Lu and Xing Chen, but also a victory for Chinese-language films.

Next, it depends on the quality of the movie and market feedback. (End of chapter)
