Chapter 384 Finale
Domestic promotion of the summer film is vigorous.
What everyone is discussing more is that mainland movies have entered a new era.
Dominated by literary films from the 20th century.
The blockbuster era began in 2002.
And then to the current era of super blockbusters.
Suddenly there are several movies costing more than 500 million.
The development of domestic films seems to be even more fierce than the growth of GDP.
Many people have expressed concerns about whether this is going too fast and whether it is blowing a bubble.
More people are happy to see the results.
There is nothing wrong with having too many blockbusters.
Anyway, if domestic films are not released, the market will still be ruthlessly whipped by Hollywood.
So most people are optimistic.
In the deep-level industry, everyone also feels that the power structure of mainland movies seems to have begun to change.
Huayi began to pursue the stars bravely in production.
Chinese Film also started to counterattack China Film with "Red Cliff".
Xiangjiang has also joined the feast with "The Proposal", "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "The Fuse", and the latter two will also compete for this summer's release.
Also in terms of theaters, new forces such as Wanda have begun to officially show their strength.
The growth rate of big screen in mainland China has increased visibly.
The film market dominated by great directors such as Lao Mouzi and the Great Poet seems to be moving in the direction of a large number of capitals vying for the top spot.
What this brings about is that the market structure is becoming increasingly difficult to understand.
But Lu Ping'an is still very calm about this.
Because after all, it’s still the same sentence.
The work is beautiful and can break everything.
"So the most important thing is the work. You know, for actors, acting skills are still fundamental. Unless you directly define yourself as a star, which one should you choose? A vase with connotation or a vase without connotation?"
Lu Pingan asked Fan Xiaopang on the phone.
"So I will always be a vase?" Fan Xiaopang asked with a smile.
"You look like this, why don't you make vases?"
"I feel so sad when you say that."
"Stupid, Yuan Qinghua is also a vase, and the ones from Yiwu Small Commodity Market are also vases, can they be the same?"
"Why so fierce?"
".I'm going to be busy. You can play well. Goodbye."
After hanging up the phone and ignoring Fan Xiaopang, who was becoming a little strange, Lu Pingan thought about what he had just talked about on the phone.
The news that Fan Xiaopang recently started a solo company has been exposed, but due to the issue of pre-heating for the summer movie, it seems that it has not received much attention.
This would be good, downplaying some things and leaving room for future operations, which would also allow her to film with peace of mind.
Her "Rouge Snow" is about to be launched, with an investment of 28 million. Based on the original income, the future profit will reach 72 million.
The profits are high, but you also have to pay attention to the secrets inside.
If you really want to cause chaos, leave immediately without hesitation.
Of course, if Fan Xiaopang was not at fault, then there would be another approach.
Keep shooting, time flies by.
At the end of April, "Kung Fu Panda" received good news.
On April 30, with the help of buff, the dubbing and sound effects work of "Kung Fu Panda" was completely completed.
The widowed sister said with emotion: "I didn't expect that I am quite suitable for dubbing. I passed it in three times and it was super smooth."
Lu Ping'an gave her a big thumbs up.
Then we started sorting out the harvest.
The degree of completion of "Kung Fu Panda" is the highest among the projects he has produced so far.
A full 126%.
Also because it exceeded 120%, this time the rewards were not only super rewards, but also ordinary rewards.
Ordinary reward: A random animal-themed movie.
Super Bonus: Animal Affinity.
Effect: In front of the camera, animal actors can follow instructions, and some effects are added to humans. At the same time, outside the camera, it can increase the animal affinity of the host himself.
These two rewards
Lu Ping'an still likes it quite a lot.
The ordinary rewards will be put away first. Anyway, the drawn works can ignore the timeline. There are too many things to do now, so I will draw them later.
In the case of the latter, it would be quite good to put aside animals and so on, and "partially increase the effect on humans".
As a director, training actors is a basic skill. Lu Pingan has always worked with actors with good abilities, but he still encounters some training and coordination problems.
Now he's good. With this skill, he can help him solve some problems. At the same time, when he meets actors with average acting skills in the future, such as Liu Qianqian, he will be even more handy!
not bad!
Lu Pingan smiled and expressed his satisfaction. As he was talking, the cold ragdoll cat brought by the widowed sister stretched out and walked to Lu Pingan's feet with cat steps to rub against it.
The big orange brought by Liu Qianqian also woke up from her arms, then jumped down and rubbed against Lu Ping'an's other foot.
Seeing the two cats like this, the two women looked at each other, and there seemed to be a spark in their eyes.
Lu Ping'an, on the other hand, was in distress.
He felt that this skill actually turned him into cat grass!
He looked at the cat hair that had quickly accumulated on his pants legs and sighed.
It will be very annoying in the future!
"Kung Fu Panda" has been completed, and the next biggest thing for Lu Ping'an is to complete "Batman 2".
"Batman 2" has been filming for nearly half a year since December last year.
This kind of film has few special effects, and it is all large-scale real scenes. In Hollywood, where work rules must be followed, even if there is a buff, there is really no way to speed up the shooting progress. The most you can do is to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Fortunately, after half a year of hard work, it is finally time to welcome the final scene.
For the final scene of "Batman 2", Lu Pingan arranged the famous scene of the Joker, that is, the nurse pretending to be the Joker pressed the button and blew up the hospital.
As for the real bombing of a "hospital", almost everyone in the crew, except Nolan, opposed it.
It's too expensive!
But it didn't work.
The explosion scenes that "Batman" has encountered so far are all real buildings.
For example, the temple that was blown up in XZ in the first part.
And the expensive Lamborghini that was crashed in the second part.
Have you seen Lu Pingan blink?
Lu Pingan just likes this tune.
Nolan said, "Lu is a real shooting maniac!"
But real shooting does have a price.
Especially for bombing this kind of building.
If there is a mistake, it will take a long time to start over.
The work efficiency in the US is not as high as that in China.
So the crew members are highly focused today.
But no matter how focused they are, they can't beat Lu Pingan.
Because Lu Pingan is going to play a big one this time!
In the original film, there was a small mistake in the scene of bombing the hospital.
During the filming, the building was halfway through the explosion and there was no movement. The Joker continued to fiddle with the remote control to make the building continue to explode.
This is a god-level mistake.
Now "Batman 2" cannot get a reward for Lu Pingan.
But Lu Pingan still wants to restore this classic scene in film history.
And if you want to restore it, it is naturally impossible to wait for it to make a mistake.
So manual intervention is required.
In this regard, the blasting team and the props team disagreed ten thousand times.
For this shot, it costs 5 million just to buy the unfinished building, and this shot is at the level of tens of millions.
If this is a mistake, the key is not only the cost, but also how much time the entire crew will have to waste.
But Lu Pingan insisted: "Do as I say! This shot must be shot this way! No one can stop you!"
Nolan also began to persuade him: "It's a good idea, but you said you won't tell Heath Ledger. If he makes a mistake, this shot will still be ruined. It's too difficult."
"I believe in Heath Ledger!"
Lu Pingan was determined.
He was actually afraid of making mistakes, but he had time and money anyway, so he gave it his all for the pursuit of art.
"Crazy! Lu is a madman!"
"Shit, why isn't Lu so crazy in other movies?"
"Yes, he was almost played to death by Cheng Long."
"But he's not as crazy as this time."
"I think the media must have provoked him."
"What do you mean?"
"His Pacific Rim will face Fantastic Four 2 head-on, and the media said Lu will be completely defeated."
"What does this have to do with Batman?"
"The media said that even if Batman 2 meets Fantastic Four 2, it will still be defeated."
"Shit, isn't that nonsense? Batman is no match for those four idiots?"
"So Lu was provoked."
Everyone began to discuss, but it didn't have any effect on Lu Ping'an's decision.
So next, everyone watched Heath Ledger's performance in a further sense of tension.
The Joker in Crocs happily walked out of the hospital and pressed the remote control.
Bang bang bang~
It's gone.
The Joker was stunned, and the crew members also felt nervous.
Fortunately, Heath Ledger then used a set of smooth performances to complete the god-level "rescue".
He continued to fiddle with the remote control, and the next second, a big explosion came.
The Joker was scared, and then continued to happily leave the picture.
Lu Pingan was super satisfied with this scene.
This is the original film!
It's even smoother than the original film!
Everyone else was also stunned at this moment.
The performance just now was simply indescribably good!
A few seconds later, everyone burst into warm applause.
To the movie.
To the crazy actor and the crazy director!
In mid-May, "Batman 2" was completed, and Lu Pingan's film mission this year was basically completed.
After two weeks of rest in the United States and handling some matters, he returned to China at the end of May.
The mainland summer season is about to begin
