China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

No. 10, Los Angeles.

Today is the premiere of "Apex 3".

There were a lot of people outside the Uncle Sam Theater, and the scene looked like a year-end sale in a large domestic supermarket.

Lu Pingan looked at the crowd in front of him and sighed.

I have been in the United States for so long and have made so many movies, but none of them have achieved such an effect.

That’s the appeal of a successful series.

Of course, Cheng Long's own appeal also accounts for a large part.

Or strictly speaking, everyone came to see Cheng Long today.

"I owe Cheng Long a movie ticket."

Lu Ping An's idea was originally implemented by New Line, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.

Cheng Long also complained to Lu Ping'an with some laughter and tears: "Many people called me and asked me if I was going to die."

After saying that, the black actor Chris Tucker beside him pouted his fists and giggled until he got cramps.

In the past few months, he had watched the entire promotion process from beginning to end.

When New Line released the news that "Peak 3" was finalized, fans were excited.

Immediately after New Line released pictures of dozens of serious injuries on Cheng Long's body and a video of the shooting mistake, fans began to be moved.

Then someone said that Peak 3 might be Cheng Long's last movie because he was seriously injured during filming!

New Line refuted the rumors this time, but some people said that Peak 3 is not good-looking because Cheng Long is too old!

Now fans began to spread the campaign of "owing Cheng Long a movie ticket".

He said that no matter how old Cheng Long is, he still wants to see his last movie!

Then it got worse and worse, so much so that Cheng Long himself had to stand up and "refute the rumors": I'm just old, not dead! Peaky Blinders 3 is not my last movie! Peak 3 will definitely be better than the first two!

The so-called refutation of rumors is actually a planned matter.

The effect is indeed great.

Fans and most of the media have shown strong support and criticized the media for looking down on it.

The media that are bearish on the situation continue to be bullish.

After all, people themselves admit that they are getting old. Isn’t this a nightmare for action stars?

The two sides started a war of words again.

In this way, the topic level will be directly filled up.

So much so that since August, the popularity of "Apex 3" has been crushing a series of films such as "The Bourne Supremacy", "The Simpsons", and "Daddy's Rangers 2" in the same period.

Of course, this will cause a big problem.

Cheng Long continued to smile at Lu Pingan: "If my grades are not good, I might really die."

Obviously, Cheng Long is still a little unhappy with this kind of publicity.

This is a bit like gambling on your career.

However, when I was watching the movie yesterday, I didn’t know who was watching it most enthusiastically.

Of course, Lu Ping An himself also has related concerns.

After all, this involves adaptation, which is very different from the original time and space, so there will be many unknowns.

It's not impossible for things like poor grades to happen.

But consider that Goldfinger gave it a much higher rating than The Original Time and Space.

Look at how popular it is now.

Finally, look at the entire August, there were almost no strong opponents.

"Peak 3" seems to have basically no reason to fail.

So Lu Ping'an replied: "If it doesn't work, I will build another powerful one for you for free."

Cheng Long's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's what you said!"

"Of course, but if it's a big hit, look back to Kung Fu Panda."

"Don't worry! Whether it's a hit or not, I will definitely help you promote "Kung Fu Panda"!"

The two looked at each other and shook hands, then got out of the RV and began to greet the cheers of fans.

. . . . . .

"Before I discussed the project with Ping An, I told him that I am already old, 52 years old, and the new movie will definitely not be as good as the previous two. You should do more drama this time. In the end, what do you think Ping An said? Ping An said I had all the ideas to play with death, and I said that I have always played with death, but he said that if he wanted to play with death this time, he would have to pay for a movie ticket!"

"When Jack found me, he said that Lu would be our director. I said really? Are you talking about the Chinese director who won several Oscars in his twenties? Jack said yes, and he likes me very much. I I was very happy at the time, but what I didn’t expect was that when I met Lu for the first time, Lu asked me to quickly buy more insurance. I was thinking at the time, this guy is not racist, right? I didn’t know until later. , he really likes me, but I was really almost played to death by him."

"When Cheng Long approached me, I didn't want to take it. As you know, Cheng Long's films have their own characteristics. I don't have much experience in directing action films, and an action film with mostly literary and dramatic elements, and It is still a series, and it is doomed to fail, but Cheng Long said that in terms of action, you can think freely and boldly, and he is responsible for realizing it. Then I remembered that when I was a child, I learned the action of climbing over the wall in his movies. You all know it, right? Yeah, haha, then unfortunately, I broke my ankle, and I remembered the oath I seemed to have made at that time. I said that if I had the opportunity to be a director and let him be the protagonist when I grew up, I would play to death. he."

At the premiere, the two protagonists and a director started like a talk show, which not only raised the expectations, but also made the fans and reporters burst into laughter.

After the fun, it’s time to watch the movie.

Whether a movie is good or not depends on whether you watch it or not. Next is the time to test the results.

Sit back and dim the lights.

Lu Pingan lowered his hand naturally, and Yan Danchen's palm was already waiting for him.

Lu Ping'an scratched and held it with both hands, and the corners of their mouths also raised.

Then, the movie starts.

The film opens with a description of the two protagonists' personalities.

In the original version, the characters of the two protagonists have not changed much in the third film.

But this time is different.

It opens with a traffic jam on the streets of Los Angeles.

Carter, a black man, wore headphones, listened to Michael Jackson's songs, danced Michael's hip dance, and directed traffic.

But the command is a piece of shit and the traffic is getting more and more congested.

After a dance, a traffic accident occurred on the road as expected.

When the black man Carter saw it, he looked unhappy and walked over cursing.

But before we even got there, more traffic accidents happened.

At the same time, the police chased the thief on the street.

Carter didn't see it and was teasing the two beauties driving the convertible.

The police in the distance shouted for him to help, but Carter remained indifferent.

Until the chased thief mocked and said, "Mind your own business."

Carter opened up directly.

When the thief passed by him, he snatched the knife from the thief's hand and slapped it on his face, which made the thief lose his temper.

This scene is very handsome, so handsome that the two beauties in the film fall directly in love with them.

Fans also thought he was handsome, but many people also frowned.

Because Carter's character seems to be broken. Isn't he supposed to be someone who can only talk but not take action?

Without thinking too much, the beauty in the movie praised Carter for being so awesome!

Carter proudly replied that this is Chinese Kung Fu, learned from my brother.

The camera turned and Officer Li appeared.

He was still wearing a straight suit and his face was serious.

As soon as the familiar image appeared, the peak fans at the scene dreamed back to 98.
