China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

By the evening of the 3rd, the movie’s first three-day box office in mainland China had already been released.

The three-day real-time box office was 63 million.

It is definitely impossible to surpass "Huan Tai", but there is no problem at all to break through 200 million.

Compared with the mainland, Lu Pingan pays more attention to the box office and popularity in other regions.

On the evening of the 3rd, Lu Pingan temporarily ended his road show in the mainland and arrived in Hong Kong with the main creators.

"Kung Fu Panda" was released in Hong Kong today.

Eagle King, one of the producers, arranged the premiere.

Cantonese dubbing members Cheng Long, Sammo Hung, Kwok Wing, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Andy Lau, etc. were all present.

Hong Kong media has already started reporting on the huge success of the animated film "Kung Fu Panda".

There is definitely some sourness in it.

After all, this movie is from the Mainland.

I understand.

But overall, Xiangjiang movie fans and industry insiders are still looking forward to it.

First of all, Lu Ping'an's current position as a director has already broken through geographical restrictions.

A great international director.

The results are outstanding.

Last month, "Huan Tai" also had a big battle with "Transformers" in Hong Kong.

"Huan Tai" takes advantage of the filming location in Hong Kong. So far, "Huan Tai" has earned 39.5 million, and "Transformers" has been released for half a month and currently has 21 million.

This data is more than 200,000 less than the performance of "Huan Tai" in half a month!

In fact, this is somewhat tricky.

Because the original "Transformers" was not particularly popular in Hong Kong.

It started fifth, with a total box office of just over 39 million, which is not particularly good among all Hollywood movies released in Hong Kong.

But who made it famous?

So in Xiangjiang, "Huantai" actually copied the operation in North America.

In North America, "Fantastic Four 2" took the lead, while in Hong Kong, it started to follow "Transformers".

And being able to step on Hollywood blockbusters all the way is definitely hard power!

No matter how conceited Xiangjiang filmmakers are, they still respect the talented people who can dominate Hollywood.

Besides, Lu Ping'an also has a layer of emotion in addition to his strength.

Lu Pingan himself has said more than once that Xiangjiang Movies was the inspiration for his career.

Such a great director has special feelings for Xiangjiang and spent 5 years making an animated kung fu movie. Can't you be moved?

Therefore, the release of "Kung Fu Panda" can be regarded as full of expectations.

Then after watching the movie, everyone became even more interested.

Filmmakers are filled with pride when they see those tribute plots.

Ordinary movie fans see that the production level is not inferior to that of Hollywood animation, and feel that it is worth the price of admission.

Of course there are still people who are still sour.

But there is nothing we can do.

After all, not to mention animated movies, even ordinary movies in Xiangjiang can no longer handle the mainland.

But thinking about it again, it seems that only one Xingchen in the Mainland is better, and the progress of other companies is not very great, so I feel much better.

That night, "Kung Fu Panda" took in 2.36 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office on its first night of release in Hong Kong, breaking the box office record for animated films and the first-night record for Chinese-language films.

With good results, Lu Pingping arrived at Wanwan the next day.

Then in the afternoon, Lu Ping'an and the dubbing actors from the Bay Area attended the premiere.

The dubbing of Wanwan, the Cantonese dubbing of Xiangjiang, as well as the four versions of Mainland Mandarin and International Standard English have been completed long ago, and the rest will be started after the film producers return.

At the premiere, the appearance of non-professional voice actors such as Jay Chou, Simon Yam, Lin Chiling, and Wu Bai made Wanwan's premiere look a bit nondescript.

But the Bayan people like it very much.

Professional voice actors are not as interesting as these celebrities.

Although this will affect the look and feel of the movie to a certain extent.

But Lu Ping'an said that there will be a Hokkien version and a regular Wanwan standard dubbing version in the future.

So the problem is not big, and in this way, this edition has become a collector's edition, and you will have to pay a high price to buy collector's discs in the future!

So the premiere in Wanwan was also very lively.

After the movie started playing, everyone was attracted not only by the interesting dubbing, but also by the movie itself.

Then I realized that what the mainland media said about the movie creating history, making various breakthroughs in technology, reaching the top level in the world, etc. was really not just a boast!

After the film ended, it received rave reviews online.

For the action, for the production quality, for the plot, for the characters.

There are also a lot of not so good reviews.

Compared with Xiangjiang, Wanwan seems to be more sour.

Therefore, after the premiere, some programs soon took up this topic: ""Kung Fu Panda" is said to be domestically produced, but I can tell you that the overall film still has the shadow of Hollywood, and the technology and plot are not innovative."

Then the conversation changed: "This movie has now reached a box office of almost 100 million in the Mainland. The previous "Pacific Rim" has now exceeded 700 million, surpassing all movies in the Mainland by a cliff."

Another host on the TV had an exaggerated expression: "So high? Isn't it NT dollars?"

"The New Taiwan Dollar is close to 3.5 billion!"

"Really! How can it be so high!?"

"I am a member of the Communist Party of China. Mainland people have never seen a Hollywood movie. This time Lu Ping An has made a Hollywood blockbuster. Of course everyone supports it. Do you support it?"

"Of course I support it!"

"So let me tell you, in fact, that movie is nothing special. It was released here last month and the box office was average. It was not as good as "Invincible Iron Bull" (Transformers), but they have never seen such a movie. "

The characteristic of Wanwan, the replica tea egg actually appears on itself.

Lu Ping'an simply couldn't laugh or cry.

Does anyone believe this?

But let’s not say it yet, there is really a market for it.

So in this way, Lu Ping'an seems to have encountered a sunspot again.

But fortunately, Wanwan also has capable people.

The famous director Wang Weizhong, the producer of "Kangxi Is Coming", commented very impressively during the interview: "Some people say that Lu Ping'an's style seems to have nothing of his own. I won't say whether this conclusion is correct or not. I just say Learn from this.

I think this actually doesn’t matter. The same is true for South Korea. Since the founding of South Korea’s millennium culture, many entertainment works have been very good. In fact, it is the same for any culture. It combines things from all over the world and makes cars with it. In the same way, the essence of the world is put together, stirred, integrated, and arranged to form a dish made in South Korea.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if you learn from it at the beginning. I think this is not the biggest focus at the beginning. This is a process, and slowly it will form its own thing. We can see that "Kung Fu Panda" has actually passed this stage now.

Use your own technology, use your own culture, and make your own things. I watched it in mainland China the day before yesterday, and watched it again at the premiere in Taipei yesterday. It was great! Really good!

Although you will find that there are still Hollywood things in it, there are very few of them anymore. Hollywood things are now only used by Ping An to serve the market.

Looking at all his projects, after going through that process, I feel that he has begun to form a spirit of his own. The most important thing is that he has cultivated a group of talents, and this group of talents has shown particularly dazzling creativity. I think this is the key. I think Lu Pingan is now just like Hong Kong movies entering the 1970s and 1980s. The golden age has come." (End of Chapter)
