China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

At this time, in society, the earthquake incident has gradually subsided, and the popularity of the Olympics has also dropped.

The Paralympics are important, but the popularity itself is not much.

Therefore, as soon as big news in the entertainment industry and film industry comes out, it will attract a lot of attention as usual.

Therefore, the news that Lu Pingan became the fifth "Billionaire Box Office Director" in the world's film history immediately shocked and made all movie fans and the public extremely proud.

A billion dollars!

What concept?

About 7 billion yuan!

The total box office nationwide in 2007 was just over 4 billion yuan!

Lu Ping'an is simply unbelievable.

However, this data does not seem to be the most powerful.

Soon there were netizens on the Internet who made statistics on Lu Pingan's career.

Since Lu Ping An made his first theatrical movie "The Tuner" in 2001, statistics have been kept until "Batman 2".

One calculation.

Good guy.

The total box office of Lu Pingan's films directed by himself has reached US$4.3 billion!

Calculated according to this year’s exchange rate, it is just over 30 billion yuan!

30000000000!

What is this concept?

This means that in the future, directors from across the Taiwan Strait and the Mainland will no longer use their career total box office for marketing purposes.

Because basically no other person can surpass this data.

After all, look at the great directors. Take John Woo, whom many people admire now, for example. Before Lu Pingan came out, he should be said to be the most powerful commercial director in Asia, right?

There are many Hollywood masterpieces, the highest of which is more than 500 million for "Mission: Impossible 2".

If nothing else, it is the lifelong dream of most directors to enter Hollywood and direct.

But even if they are so good, the total box office so far is only 1.2 billion US dollars!

Even he was led by Lu Ping'an by a cliff, so why would he use this data to compare in the future?

Of course, some people have said that there is no comparison with those below. If you have the ability, just compare with those above.

But in this case, who should we compare with?

Everyone found that there were only a few people in front of Lu Ping'an.

For example, Spielberg, George Lucas and a few others.

So in this way, Lu Ping An has officially become the same as these people in the hearts of the people.

The most important thing is that Lu Ping'an is young and his career is on the rise.

You must know that of the 4.3 billion box office, last year alone, Lu Pingan won 1.8 billion with "Huan Tai", "Peak 3" and "Panda".

Therefore, many people have concluded that Lu Pingan will definitely become the number one box office winner in film history.

The first person is Chinese!

Just say you are arrogant or not!

For a time, Lu Ping'an's reputation rose a lot again.

In this regard, Xingchen quickly issued a notice.

"There are currently more than six films with over 1 billion U.S. dollars in global film history. For example, "Jurassic Park" in 1993 and "The Lion King" in 1994 have not been included in the statistics. In addition, there are many movies around the world that have not been fully counted. Excellent works are listed.

Therefore, Director Lu does not agree with the title of fifth in film history. Director Lu believes that the global film market continues to rise every day like inflation. In the future, there will be more and more movies with a global box office exceeding 1 billion US dollars, just like now. There are already many more movies with a box office of over 300 million in the Mainland than four years ago, so "Batman 2" taking over 1 billion US dollars is nothing to be proud of.

Compared with pursuing box office, Director Lu said that making a good movie that fans love to watch and can even watch over and over again is the most important thing.

In the future, Xingchen will forge ahead and strive to produce more masterpieces for the entertainment and happy times of movie fans around the world. "

The pattern came out instantly.

While fans and the public praised the film one after another, Lu Ping An's reputation has also continued to increase.

The most intuitive benefit is that it has a great bonus to new movies.

Everyone's attention quickly turned to Xingchen's new movie "Wonderful Night 2".

Although this movie was not directed by Lu Pingan.

But Lu Pingan is a producer, and Ning Hao is also a very high-quality director.

He is definitely among the top three domestic commercial film directors.

The most important thing is that "Wonderful Night 2" is a series.

Successful series have inherent advantages.

"Wonderful Night 1" immediately set a box office record.

The national character is very strong.

In addition, the official website of "Wonderful Night 2" has now released information about all the actors' roles.

Good guys, about twenty characters, a lot of big names.

There are also quite a few niches, almost none of them unknown.

Regardless of the plot, the plot of Xingchen Movie is quite impressive anyway, and market confidence has exploded.

Of course, there is also a question here.

That is: Why is it released during the Spring Festival?

The people most sensitive to this matter are the insiders.

Many people didn't believe it at first.

But soon the stars fell, and the confirmed date was announced, which was January 26, 2009, the day of the Spring Festival!

In this regard, the first person to react was the crew of "Red Cliff".

Their first reaction was: Lu Ping'an is here specifically for us, right?

"Under the Red Cliff" will be released on January 15, and "Wonderful Night 2" will be released on January 26.

There are only 10 days left for "Under the Red Cliff"!

How much box office can you make in 10 days?

The key is that the Spring Festival is still a cool time.

Lu Ping'an did this, and his intention was simply too obvious.

So they were thinking quickly.

John Woo's hand "carrying up the sedan chair" might really offend someone.

Chengtian then began to consider changing the schedule.

Although everyone has full confidence in "Under the Red Cliff".

But no matter how confident you are, you won’t be so arrogant as to compete with Lu Ping An’s movie.

How high is his reputation now!

John Woo is just a younger brother in front of him.

But the idea of ​​changing the schedule was quickly dismissed by John Woo angrily.

Because although John Woo is not as good as Lu Ping An, he is still an international director.

Lu Ping'an's new movie is coming out. He just fixed the schedule and then changed the schedule directly. John Woo doesn't want to lose face?

Besides, "Under the Red Cliff" may not be able to beat "Fantastic Night 2"

After all, in the mainland market, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars still have the strongest appeal.

So changing files is definitely not possible.

After rejecting the suggestion, John Woo seemed to be aware of the hostility of the mainland.

But he still didn't take it seriously and even said directly: "The market needs healthy competition! The mainland market needs to be more open and inclusive."

This was not said to reporters.

It was just an "internal discussion" and then somehow word spread.

Then many people on the Internet learned about it.

The debate became immediate.

Some say the mainland is too exclusive.

Some say it’s deserved.

In short, there are all kinds of sounds.

The industry was directly divided into two factions.

That is to say, the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan are separated.

So this matter can be big or small.

To put it simply, it is a simple competitive war of words.

To put it in perspective, it would be too big.

This is also the purpose of John Woo.

Mainland China has to be careful, right?

For a time, the industry smelled a strong smell of gunpowder.
