China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

At this time, only 5 days after the online pre-sale of "Transformers" started, the online box office reached 170 million, and the total pre-sale box office also reached 220 million.

Affected by this, the box office growth of "Huan Tai" in the past five days has begun to decline significantly.

By the evening of July 15th, the box office of "Huan Tai" had just exceeded 500 million.

The breakthrough of 800 million expected by many people is basically impossible.

In fact, this result is already quite good now.

But the media won’t help to say good things.

And many people think that it is only 500 million, and "Transformers" may break this record soon.

Because after the premiere of "Transformers", the reputation was indeed very good.

"Autobots, transform!"

"It is very rare to go to the venue to praise such a "trendy" film. This film is such an important role for children born between 1977 and 1983. And this group of people are now "popular", so collectively Nostalgia.”

"It's a classic and deadly thing. Even if it premieres with a bunch of posters, the fans will be excited and shocked. I was pretending to be calm at first, but I lost my mind as soon as the film started."

"I went to see him, and I invited the entire company, including Zhutou and his family members, to welcome Big Brother back to Earth with practical actions!"

"I can confirm that the so-called Superman fans, Star Wars fans, and Lord of the Rings fans in China are all fictitious. Only Transformers fans really exist, and there are tens of millions of them. This group of people in the late 70s and early 80s, back then, When I was a kid, I took out my brain and used Transformers as a brush to clean it thoroughly. So, actually, we are all Autobots, so even if the movie is bad in every way, I can't say a word about it. will not say"

Since that night, all kinds of emotional reviews about "Transformers" have appeared like snowflakes.

Enthusiasm for watching the movie, explosive!

Lu Pingan received news from his cinema that two theaters in the Xujiahui area of ​​the magical city were crowded and the box office was full. Some movie fans strongly requested to increase the film schedule.

Cinemas in many first-tier cities also have endless queues, and many cinemas have opened midnight screenings as a last resort.

In the words of the media: This is a boiling scene taking place in China.

Although, this kind of scene also appeared when "Huan Tai" was released two weeks ago.

But who let people be Bai Yueguang?

Fans and some media also seemed to show that when they met Mrs. Niu, although they were already together, they still cared about Xiao Tiantian in their hearts and were willing to give up everything to fall into Xiao Tiantian's arms.

"Huan Tai" is Mrs. Niu.

"Transformers" is Britney Spears.

You can't be jealous yet.

Because they and Xiao Tiantian are childhood sweethearts and have been together since the 1980s!

. . . . . .

"Transformers" was extremely popular on its first day of release in mainland China.

It is inevitable that there will be news in the market that looks down on Huantai and Lupin.

Some media even said that "Kung Fu Panda" may need to be changed to avoid the limelight.

But maybe the media itself didn't expect that this kind of report that just attracts traffic would cause a huge response.

You know, Lu Pingan now represents the highest level of domestic film technology and is the one carrying the flag.

If you want to change gears, aren't you just timid before you fight?

This thing is almost equivalent to an act of traitor.

Soon the news reached Lu Ping'an's ears.

Then Han Sanpin called immediately and asked if he wanted to change the schedule.

In fact, when the pre-sale box office of "Huan Tai" was nearly 300 million, he mentioned whether to change "Kung Fu Panda" from August 1 to the Lunar New Year release.

Changing the schedule will leave more space for "Huan Tai" to schedule films and hit a higher box office record.

"Kung Fu Panda" can also play another wave of "export to domestic sales".

You can also fill up the Lunar New Year stalls along the way.

The summer schedule has exploded, and the two movies that were originally scheduled to be released in the Lunar New Year slot, "The Sign of the Name" and "Assembly Number", are currently not confirmed by either company. This means that the Lunar New Year slot is now empty without a blockbuster movie.

It is understandable that Han Sanpin wants to do this. He is focusing on the entire market.

To be honest, Lu Ping'an was very excited when he saw the success of "Huan Tai" in "converting exports to domestic sales".

Although there is a snowstorm in the south this year, it started in early January and lasted until February, affecting more than 20 provinces, just covering the Lunar New Year period before the Spring Festival.

But didn't "Assembly" of the original time and space still earn more than 200 million at the box office at this time?

And no one would say anything like this to him.

It is a force majeure factor after all.

There are no bad luck or anything like that.

But if we didn’t change it then, it’s obviously inappropriate to change it now.

Now he is the flag-bearer of domestic films.

Now the wolf is coming.

But you want to retreat?

Lu Ping'an couldn't do such a coward's thing.

So Lu Ping'an answered categorically:

"If I don't change, I have confidence in both "Huan Tai" and "Panda"!"

Han Sanpin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then asked: "In this case, the impact may be greater."

"I know, but I'm confident."

The road is safe and confident.

In Lu Pingan's view, this version of "Kung Fu Panda" is indeed of super high quality.

Backed by Chinese culture, it has Chinese characteristics that far exceed those of "Ring Pacific". This is also a "sentiment", so it may not be crushed, and there may be surprises.

Furthermore, the box office of The Original Spacetime when it was released in mainland China in 2008 was 186 million yuan, which was not high.

Lu Pingan gave it a box office target of only 200 million in the mainland.

It mainly depends on the income from Laos, the United States and internationally.

Therefore, even if the impact is large, the losses will be limited.

Maybe this loss is as big as the impact of the snowstorm during the Lunar New Year period.

So there's really no need to change it.

"Uncle Han, save that media for me."

"Don't worry, let's have a good road show and leave it to me."

Early the next morning, the media issued an apology statement, admitting to spreading rumors.

Star Wu Guohua also made an announcement through the official website.

We severely condemn the rumor makers and will take necessary measures next.

It was officially announced that "Kung Fu Panda" will not be rescheduled.

Finally, a video of Lu Ping'an's response was posted.

Countless fans and media clicked on the video and saw Lu Pingan sitting at the table, saying confidently and calmly:

“First of all, congratulations on the success of Transformers all over the world.

As a person born in the 1980s, like many boys of the same age, I also have a car that can transform in my mind.

So I went to watch the movie when it came out.

very nice.

Like most movie fans, seeing childhood cartoons realistically displayed through super-burning special effects makes me extremely excited.

As a director, I regret not being able to direct this film.

But at the same time, I’m even more excited to compete with it with my own work.

And I am very happy that in the face of this super classic IP, "Pacific Rim", which also has great special effects and focuses on mechas, is still capable of fighting.

This proves that my investment in the film industry over the past five or six years has achieved excellent results.

Rather than producing a masterpiece, I am more happy with the improvement of our overall filmmaking technology.

"Pacific Rim" carries this mission.

"Kung Fu Panda" is responsible for breakthroughs in animation technology.

I believe that in the future, our country will not only be able to produce high-level special effects movies, but also more companies will put more of our own classic IPs on the screen and gain the same enthusiasm.

So Hollywood film technology is definitely better than domestic ones?

Be more confident.

No one would deny this ten years ago, but now it is 2007 and times have changed!

If you don’t believe it, go watch “Pacific Rim” and then on August 1st, watch “Kung Fu Panda”.

Friendly reminder, adults can also watch it, and the effect will be better! "

As soon as the video came out, countless fans thought that Lu Ping'an was very majestic, neither humble nor overbearing, and calm and unhurried.

This is what a great director should look like.

Many movie fans breathed a sigh of relief. At first, they really thought Lu Pingan was going to cancel "Kung Fu Panda".

If this is the case, everyone will definitely have a negative view of Ping An.

Many movie fans are also proud of it, because the emergence of "Pacific Rim" has indeed given domestic movie fans a shot in the arm.

After all, the movie's special effects are indeed quite good.

At the same time, many movie fans felt relieved.

Now that Transformers is so popular, many people think this movie will win.

But you know, not everyone is a Transformers fan!

Moreover, in the eyes of non-fans, "Transformers" is actually not as good-looking as it is said to be, and it is not as exciting as "Pacific Rim".

Transformers fans also felt very comfortable after watching it.

The media seems to be in conflict these days, thinking that those who watch Transformers are not fans of Lu Ping An, and are even about to be labeled as "traitors".

As a result, Lu Pingan himself now says he is a fan of Transformers.

What does this mean? It means that people are not so narrow-minded. Only you media are messing around.

And for those colonists who really think Hollywood is bullshit.

Lu Ping'an also made it clear this time.

Even if you can't understand it, there are Lu Ping'an fans on the Internet who translated the words in his video.

To sum up, here are a few points:

“Transformers are strong.

But my movies aren’t bad either!

Some people are more confident.

The meaning of Huantai and Kung Fu Panda is to open your eyes and let you know that we are not weak in the first place.

Do you have to think that Hollywood's victory over domestic films is the correct script?

Food debate! (Times have changed!)”
