China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

"Pacific Rim" won the box office title of the week in the United States.

The ones who were most shocked were actually not the fans of Lu Ping An and Xing Chen.

Although "Pacific Rim" is a sci-fi disaster movie with special effects, it is the first big attempt in domestic film history, and it is aimed at Hollywood super blockbusters.

And it’s not a hollow benchmark like some domestic blockbusters.

It is a head-on confrontation with a Hollywood blockbuster released on the same day and at the same place.

Translated into the football field, it is basically the Chinese team versus Brazil and Argentina.

win?

If you lose a few fewer goals, you will be better off!

However, over the years, the reputation that Lu Pingan has built as "a must-have product" and "international standard" has made up for this gap to a considerable extent.

So when these fans heard that "Pacific Rim" had won, their reaction was not to "sit up in shock while dying" and then shout, "What?! The Chinese team beat Argentina?!" "Quickly, burn some paper for your dad. We have risen."

But "Let me just say, we can definitely do it! Can Lu Ping'an's movie be bad? Those media are just writing nonsense."

The long-term reputation building has planted a seed of confidence in the hearts of many movie fans.

In the eyes of these people, domestic films, even if they are sci-fi disaster films with big special effects that have never been involved before, as long as they are directed by Lu Ping'an, they are of Hollywood standard, or even the top level in Hollywood.

So beat Fantastic Four 2?

As expected!

Just the movie fans who have been paying attention to Xingchen are naturally not comparable to the vast number of potential movie viewers.

Because compared to the reputation Lu Ping An has built over the past six or seven years.

It naturally takes much longer for Hollywood to build its reputation around the world.

The same is true domestically.

If you look for random people on the street to do a survey, 5 years ago, 10 people would say that Hollywood is the best. How can we compare with them?

But now, Lu Pingan's efforts can only change two or three of them and affect five or six people.

And this is only for Lu Ping An’s movies.

Looking at the entire domestic film industry, overall it has not changed much.

But that's enough.

So now "Pacific Rim" beats the thunderous "Fantastic Four 2".

This became a major in-depth marketing campaign for Xingchen and Lu Ping'an to the vast number of potential movie fans.

An old man in Beijing mentioned this matter to other old men when he was walking: "I'm not free this week, so I'll let you know first that I have something to do."

"Hey, Ma Qu, didn't you agree to play chess with the guy from the neighborhood next door?" Several old men were very surprised.

"Whatever I'm doing, I'm just going to watch a movie with my granddaughter."

"Old Suntou, don't you like watching Hollywood blockbusters?"

"Who told you to watch Hollywood blockbusters? I went to watch our Chinese Hollywood blockbusters!"

"Chinese Hollywood?"

"That's right, Xingchen knows it, Lu Ping'an knows it, this time I'm going to watch "Pacific Rim"! This movie won the championship in the United States!"

"I know. I heard that this movie is better than "Titanic". In the United States and other people's "Four Wonders" and other movies, if you meet each other, you will lose your armor and you will not be able to play it!"

"Who has thrown away his armor?"

"Those four idiots!"

"Don't be ridiculous, it's called the Fantastic Four."

"It's a miracle. I've heard about it. You were so arrogant at first, but now that we have a safe road, aren't you still weak?"

"That's right! This is really encouraging!"

"Where can I put it? I'll take my grandson to see it too."

"Don't you want your grandson to watch movies?"

"If those from China-Hollywood can do the same, we call it supporting domestic production!"

"."

The old men in the park soon started chatting, so much so that Suntou's starling would shout "Chinese Hollywood" and "Four Idiots" after returning home.

The senior group has been heavily marketed, as has the junior group.

At this time, it coincided with the end of the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, and the scores had just come out.

Some are happy and some are sad.

But the result has been decided, and the next step is to enjoy their summer vacations of different lengths.

At this time, for students, shopping, entering Internet cafes, and watching movies are good options.

But when it comes to watching movies, students’ first choice is of course pirated ones.

Money is one thing, but the most important thing is that among the current domestic movies, there are really not many that meet the appetites of young people.

In the past few years, it seems that only Lu Pingan's "Initial D" can be considered a blockbuster that truly targets young people.

On the other hand, looking at Hollywood movies, they are almost all suitable for all ages.

Why?

Because there is no such rigid emphasis on the spirit and connotation.

Just simply have fun and that's it.

And the production quality is also average due to dimensionality reduction.

It's not on the same level as domestic movies at all.

So if we really want them to enter the cinema, the appeal of Hollywood movies is far greater than that of domestic movies.

That's the case with Sun Jun.

He had just finished the college entrance examination, and his next task was to turn a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window, go to Internet cafes and play games, make up for all the things he had not played in the past three years, and then wait for the university to start, and the summer vacation was over.

At this time, QQ was beating, and a female classmate sent a message: "Want to watch a movie on the weekend?"

"what movie?"

"Pacific Rim."

"American movie?"

"domestic."

"Not going."

Sun Jun didn't notice at all that his female classmate was interested in him.

I simply feel that going to the cinema to watch domestic films is a waste of time.

He doesn't care much about the entertainment industry and doesn't like watching movies.

It stands to reason that there would not be such a big resistance to domestic films.

But if I haven’t seen it, I’ve heard of it.

During the three years of high school, great directors such as Director Chen Da, Lao Mouzi, and Feng Dapao were said to have made many blockbusters.

As a result, it was all thunder and rain.

This situation is not accidental, but has been like this for many years.

So he and his friends have the same idea. Now they have "phobia of domestic blockbusters" and believe that going to the cinema to watch domestic blockbusters is a waste of money and time.

Of course, he had also heard of a man named Lu Ping'an who made great movies and won many awards.

But literary films are not to his taste.

You can watch Lu Ping'an's other movies.

But only for piracy.

Why?

I watch pirated versions of Hollywood blockbusters, so why do you, Ping An Lu, let me go to the cinema?

At this time, the female classmate sent another message: "It's Lu Pingan's "Pacific Rim". Didn't you say that only Lu Pingan's movies can be watched in China?"

"His movie?"

Sun Jun became a little interested, but still replied: "Just watch the pirated version, it's so expensive to go to the cinema."

"This time it's the IMAX 3D version. It only looks good if you watch it in a cinema. And this time the movie is about your favorite mecha theme."

"What?"

Sun Jun was confused.

He knows "Fantastic Four," this otherworldly Hollywood blockbuster is his favorite.

It is also because of this that he has hated domestic directors many times.

If you have money, why don't you make something similar?

It doesn’t matter if you have any superpowers, you can just subvert the worldview a little bit.

Don't always be in love.

Is the result really coming out now?

And he also defeated "Fantastic Four 2"?

"That's nonsense, right?"

Sun Jun didn't believe it.

The female classmate quickly sent him various links.

More than ten minutes later, Sun Jun was amazed: "What a great guy, is Lu Ping'an such a badass?"

He was indeed surprised.

Defeated head-on, won the championship, and crushed both the reputation and box office.

The most important thing is that the subject matter is really special.

This is exactly the type he likes, it’s no longer about falling in love in the palace!

Mechas, monsters, big scene special effects.

Good guy.

This is what he likes.

And that scene makes me excited just by watching the trailer, and it doesn’t look like it’s a low-key domestic movie at all.

Lu Ping'an is a bit awesome!

At this time, the female classmate asked again: "Yes, I guess you will like it, so, do you want to watch it?"

"That's necessary!"

"Really, let's see you on July 1st. I've already bought the ticket."

"How can I make you pay? I will give it to you when the time comes."

"Please treat me to dinner."

"Okay."

The second fool Sun Jun fell into a trap because of the movie.

More young people are simply attracted by mechas fighting monsters.

Same as Sun Jun.

Hollywood is too powerful, and young people who have just grown up and are not fans of Lu Ping An actually have little confidence in domestic films.

But now, with the release of "Fantastic Four 2", everyone's confidence has been completely inspired.

Compared with domestic people, Lu Ping An still has a bit of pride in "home field".

In Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other places, those potential audiences who are not Lu Ping Ping are actually even less confident in this Chinese portrayal of the film.

Although even if there is no "Fantastic Four 2" this time, the movie will still be able to evaluate its strength and achieve good results in the end.

But who allowed someone to offer sacrifices to heaven this time?

As a result, "Huan Tai" suddenly became the most popular movie in June.
