Chapter 412: Hot All the Way
On the evening of the 3rd, the box office of the first three days in the mainland of the movie had been released.
The real-time box office for three days was 63 million.
It is certainly unlikely to exceed "Pacific Rim", but it is no problem to break 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 the road show in the mainland and arrived in Hong Kong with the main creators.
Today, "Kung Fu Panda" was released in Hong Kong.
Eagle King, one of the producers, arranged the premiere.
Cantonese dubbing members Cheng Long, Sammo Hung, Guo Rong, Tony Leung Ka Fai, and Hua Zai were all present.
Hong Kong media has already started reporting on the great success of the animated film "Kung Fu Panda".
There is definitely a sour taste in it.
After all, this movie is from the mainland.
Everyone understands.
But overall, Hong Kong movie fans and industry insiders are still looking forward to it.
First of all, Lu Pingan's current director status has already broken through regional restrictions.
International big director.
His achievements are dazzling.
Last month, Pacific Rim and Transformers had a big fight in Hong Kong.
Taking advantage of the fact that the filming location is in Hong Kong, Pacific Rim has earned 39.5 million so far. 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 Pacific Rim half a month ago!
In fact, this is a bit tricky.
Because the original time and space Transformers is 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 makes it famous?
So in Hong Kong, Pacific Rim actually copied the operation in North America.
In North America, it stepped on Fantastic Four 2 to get to the top, and in Hong Kong, it began to step on Transformers.
And being able to step on Hollywood blockbusters all the way is definitely hard power!
No matter how conceited Hong Kong filmmakers are, they still respect those who can dominate Hollywood.
Besides, Lu Ping'an has not only strength, but also sentiment.
Lu Ping'an himself has said more than once that Hong Kong movies are the enlightenment of his career.
Such a great director has a special feeling for Hong Kong and spent 5 years making an animated kung fu movie. Wouldn't you be moved?
So the release of "Kung Fu Panda" this time can be regarded as full of expectations.
Then after watching the movie, everyone's interest is even greater.
Moviegoers are full of pride when seeing those tribute plots.
Ordinary movie fans feel that the production level is not inferior to Hollywood animation and think it is worth the price.
Of course, some people are still jealous.
But there is no way.
After all, Hong Kong is now not as good as the mainland, let alone animated movies, even ordinary movies.
But think about it again, it seems that only Xingchen is more powerful in the mainland, and the progress of other companies is not very big, so the mood is much better.
That night, "Kung Fu Panda" won 2.36 million Hong Kong dollars in the first night of its release in Hong Kong, breaking the box office record of animated movies and the first night record of Chinese-language movies.
With good results, Lu Ping'an arrived in Taiwan the next day.
Then in the afternoon, Lu Pingan and the dubbing actors in Taiwan attended the premiere together.
The four versions of Taiwan dubbing, Hong Kong Cantonese dubbing, mainland Mandarin, and international standard English were already ready, and the rest were only produced after the film producers returned.
At the premiere, the appearance of non-professional dubbing actors such as Jay Chou, Richie Jen, Lin Chiling, and Wu Bai made the premiere in Taiwan seem a bit out of place.
But the people of Taiwan liked it very much.
Professional dubbing actors are not as interesting as these stars.
Although this will affect the viewing experience of the movie to a certain extent.
But Lu Pingan said that there will be a Minnan dialect version and a regular Taiwan standard dubbing version in the future.
So it’s not a big problem, and in this way, this version has also become a collector’s edition, and you will have to pay a high price to buy a collector’s disc in the future!
So the premiere in Taiwan was also very lively.
And when the movie started playing, everyone was attracted by the interesting dubbing, but more of them were still attracted by the movie itself.
Then I realized that the mainland media's claims that the movie created some history, achieved various technological breakthroughs, and reached the world's top level were not exaggerated!
After the film ended, the Internet received a lot of praise.
For the action, production quality, plot, and character image.
At the same time, there were also many not-so-good reviews.
Compared with Hong Kong, Taiwan seems to be more sour.
So after the premiere, a program soon brought up this topic: "Kung Fu Panda is said to be made in China, but I tell you that the overall film still has the shadow of Hollywood, and the technology and plot are not innovative."
Then the topic changed: "This movie has almost 100 million box office in the mainland, and the previous Pacific Rim has now exceeded 700 million, surpassing all mainland movies by a cliff."
Another host on TV had an exaggerated expression: "So high? Not New Taiwan dollars?"
"New Taiwan dollars is close to 3.5 billion!"
"Is it true? How can it be so high!?"
"I am a real communist. People in the mainland have never seen Hollywood movies. This time Lu Ping An made a Hollywood blockbuster. Of course everyone supports it. Do you support it?"
"Of course I support it!"
"So I told you that actually the movie is nothing special. It was released here last month and the box office was average, not as good as "Invincible Iron Bull" (Transformers), but they haven't seen such a movie."
Taiwan's characteristics, the replica tea egg actually appeared on him.
Lu Ping'an was simply laughing and crying.
Does anyone believe this?
But you know what, this really has a market.
So in this way, Lu Ping'an seems to have encountered haters again.
But fortunately, Taiwan also has capable people.
Wang Weizhong, the producer of "Kangxi Comes Here" and the famous director, commented very favorably during an interview: "Some people say that Lu Ping'an's style seems to lack his own style. I won't say whether this conclusion is right or not, I will only talk about the issue of reference.
I think it doesn't matter. South Korea is the same. Since the millennium, South Korea has been trying to establish a cultural country. Now many entertainment works are very good. In fact, it is the same for any culture. It puts things from all over the world together, just like it makes cars, and mixes and integrates them. Arrange and combine them into South Korean system.
In fact, it doesn't matter to borrow at the beginning. I think this is not the biggest focus at the beginning. This is a process. Slowly, you will form your own things. Let's look at "Kung Fu Panda" now. 》In fact, it has already passed this stage.
Use your own technology, your own culture, and make your own things. I watched it once in the mainland the day before yesterday, and watched it again at the premiere in Taipei yesterday. It's great! Really great!
Although you will find that there are still Hollywood things in it, but there are very few. Hollywood things are now only used by Lu Pingan to serve the market.
Looking at all his projects, after going through that process, I think he has begun to form his own spirit. The most important thing is that he has cultivated a group of talents. This group of talents has shown particularly dazzling creativity. I think this is the key. I think Lu Pingan is now like Hong Kong movies entering the 1970s and 1980s. The golden age has come."
First, let's make a bottom-line, and then the day after tomorrow.
