China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

Starting today, "Kung Fu Panda" will be released in theaters around the world.

Guorong will be responsible for the promotion in East and Southeast Asia, while Cheng Long will run the rest.

It’s still the same strategy, staggered with the two hottest movies at the moment.

One is "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", and the other is Cheng Long's "Peak 3".

In South Korea, Guorong once again came here to promote the movie on behalf of Lu Ping'an.

South Korean movie fans are already very familiar with Guorong.

With his popularity, even if it is a bad movie, people will buy it.

When he came here this time, Guorong also had another task, which was to work with relevant domestic institutions to negotiate with local zoos and government agencies in South Korea about the leasing of giant pandas.

The first giant panda to go to South Korea in the original time and space was after the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1994. South Korea rented two giant pandas to Samsung Everland. After the Asian financial crisis in 1997, Everland was unable to keep the pandas due to financial pressure. If I couldn't afford it, I gave it back, and then the lease ended 20 years later in 2016.

In fact, there is still no certainty whether the loan can be made this time. There are many reasons, such as whether there are enough "part-time job" places, and whether the other party's conditions are in place, etc.

The conditions on both sides are very harsh. It is a national treasure and the quantity is small. It cannot be taken out casually. The lease conditions are also overlord terms. It is really difficult to get it without any money.

In addition, there are a series of other reasons.

Anyway, things are complicated.

But things have to be negotiated slowly.

The consultation needs a suitable opportunity.

In fact, the two parties have been negotiating since 2000.

But in 2007, in the original time and space, the opportunity conditions were obviously still not mature.

But something seems different now.

"Kung Fu Panda" came out in China and became very popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, so South Korea wanted to see if conditions could be created this time.

For example, what is the enthusiasm of the people, what are the expected economic benefits after borrowing, etc.

Therefore, the focus of the promotion of "Kung Fu Panda" in South Korea this time is naturally not "Chinese animation".

But "Giant Panda".

"Giant Panda" does have a lot of "fan base" in South Korea.

After learning that the giant panda might "return" again, zoos across South Korea started bidding early in the morning.

Anyway, no matter whether you really want to rent or not, putting out a bidding slogan is just a display of gesture.

Many people in South Korea also hope that giant pandas can return to South Korea.

This would certainly be good for the movie.

In addition, Lu Ping'an, who should be said to be the strongest director in Asia currently, directs it.

And because Guorong also came to the roadshow to promote.

The films of the former are all excellent. This year's "Twenty Again" attracted more than 8 million viewers, and "1937" made the South Korean people believe that Lu Ping'an was in the same trenches as them.

And the latter is the idol of countless older and younger mothers.

The combination of many factors has made the movie extremely popular.

Of course, some people will think that this is a Chinese animation, which will naturally reduce points.

But it doesn’t matter, the quality of the movie has the final say.

Against this background, "Kung Fu Panda" had its premiere in South Korea.

And the results were pretty much as expected.

The original "Kung Fu Panda" has grossed US$630 million at the global box office, proving that this is a globally explosive animated IP.

Nowadays, the movie has the blessing of a super famous director, and the quality has not been reduced.

There is basically no problem in getting the results of the original time and space.

In the three days since its release, the number of moviegoers in South Korea reached 1.16 million, which is a bit more than the three-day figure of "Huan Tai".

At the same time, Cheng Long has just finished promoting Neon.

Cheng Long's popularity in Neon is naturally several levels higher than that of Guorong.

In addition, there are some conflicts between Lu Ping An and Neon, so it is just right to use Cheng Long to take action at this time.

When Guorong called to inform South Korea of ​​the results, Cheng Long also quickly called: "Safe, the neon mission is completed. Guess how much the box office was yesterday?"

Lu Ping'an, who was on the Olympic directing team, smiled and asked: "How much? One million US dollars?"

"Haha, 240 million yen, more than two million US dollars! And the reviews are very good."

"Niu, this can be regarded as a broken record, it still depends on you, Brother Long."

The original "Kung Fu Panda 1" earned a total of more than 2 billion yen in Neon, which seems to be better than the original "Kung Fu Panda 1".

"Wherever, movies are better, I'm just here to get some glory."

Cheng Long went on to talk about many interesting things in Neon.

After saying that, a group of gangsters bowed and welcomed him.

This was the exact same experience Cheng Long later talked about when he was filming "Shinjuku Incident" in Neon.

Cheng Long then added: "We will do it again in a few days when "Peak 3" is released. Ping An, do you want to come over? I tell you, that scene is great. Come and I will show you some actresses. "

"Forget it, forget it."

Aaron is like this, he is very emotional when he is happy.

No need to guess, Aaron will celebrate tonight

. . . . . .

The next day, the 26th, news of Panda’s good start in both places began to be reported in the mainland.

It’s just that this has just begun, so the overall popularity is not great.

The most popular thing today is actually the Huabiao Award.

The Huabiao Award has been held every two years since its revision in 2005. It was not held last year, so it has attracted much attention this year.

It's just that there is a lot less suspense under the spotlight.

Because the industry and even the public know who will win the major awards this year, and there is almost no suspense.

On that day, all the stars gathered on the red carpet of Huabiao.

As an official awards ceremony, anyone who has been invited can come unless there are special circumstances.

So today should be regarded as the most gathering of big names in the industry this year.

During the red carpet, everyone talked about the safe road.

Veteran filmmakers are also discussing whether "1937" will be all-inclusive this time.

There were some differences of opinion, but not much.

It will definitely not drip if it is rounded.

At least in the "Outstanding Actress" column, "1937" has a flaw. This is not an option in other films.

But as for other awards, after all, they are covered with Oscar halo, and the theme they talked about is absolutely correct.

We received such great support again in the first half of the year.

Who dares to steal his award?

Aren't you afraid of burning your hands after grabbing it?

So what everyone is actually discussing is how many double-yolk eggs or triple-yolk eggs will be released this time.

As for saying that Lu Ping An only cares about business and ignores artistry?

Who said that? you said?

I?

There must be something wrong with your ears, I never told you!

The artists were surrounded by their agents, assistants, and bosses, talking to familiar people, while at the same time watching and listening in all directions to see when Lu Ping An would enter the venue.

In the eyes of market-oriented businessmen, Lu Ping An has become a god this year.

"Director Lu's "Huan Tai" now has 750 million. Gee, it's a bit scary. "Transformers" only has 400 million."

"They released it for half a month, how can it be the same? Moreover, when Director Han took office, he gave him a lot of support. Normal movies don't have this kind of support. I got a pirated disc of "Transformers" in the second week after it was released. At that time, "Huan Tai" "Not really, think about it."

"That's because other people's movies are really good. Just tell me whether they are good or not."

"That's true. The movie is indeed good, but the home field advantage is also very obvious. My second uncle knows "Huan Tai" and said that it is a domestic blockbuster and he must support it."

"You can't fake the total box office abroad. It's already 500 million US dollars! You're so jealous!"

Several bosses in the industry were whispering to each other there.

The words are sour.

But when someone asks, "Next time he asks you to invest, will you invest?"

Several "What nonsense!" were heard on the spot.

After saying that, the flashlights flashed outside.

Everyone immediately knew that the rightful owner of the night was here.

Soon, Lu Pingan entered the infield from the door wearing a formal suit.

He had a smile on his face and a relaxed demeanor.

As soon as his leather shoes stepped onto the carpet of the infield, the crowd centered on him automatically separated into a lane.

"Hello Director Lu" "Hello Director Lu" I couldn't stop crying all the way (end of this chapter)
