227 The American version of the Great Sage returns
"Bell, how are you doing?"
Los Angeles, the creators of "Batman" gathered, and Lu Ping'an asked Bell.
"Not so good."
Bell shook his head helplessly.
As for the reason, everyone knows that Bale's role as Batman is not very well received in the market at the moment.
In the industry, he is currently being ridiculed by the group.
The reason is that in an earlier interview, Bale said that he was going to play a more serious Batman than his predecessor, and as a result, the phrase "that doesn't work at all" became the most unified answer.
In fact, the serious Batman that Bale is talking about is also the tone of Batman in the current Lu Pingan trilogy.
In other words, "that won't work at all" is not only evaluating Bell, but also evaluating Lu Ping'an's trilogy.
No superhero movie is serious.
This is the habitual thinking of the current American people about superhero movies.
Of course, Lu Ping'an didn't care about this.
What the result will be he already knows.
So what he is looking forward to more is actually the flip of public opinion after the release.
The more bearish it is, the stronger the reversal.
It wouldn't be beautiful if everyone lifted him up to the sky.
It's the same as the current state of the great poets.
Hey, what are you talking about!
Having said that, the final response of the movie is known.
But the rest are not clear.
The negative emotions brought about by group ridicule will also have a certain impact on future publicity.
So before the official publicity started, Lu Ping'an simply let everyone watch the finished film.
Confidentiality or something, these rules and regulations do not need to be followed when necessary.
Team atmosphere is the most important thing.
So Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "It seems that you need a little confidence?" ”
"Of course, it's so much needed, we all need it, right?"
The rest of the creators responded one after another.
Clearly, everyone does need a shot in the arm.
Lu Ping'an no longer sells Guanzi.
Soon, a group of people took the lead in watching the finished film of "Batman" in the pinnacle screening room.
With the screening of the movie, everyone's expressions were vivid.
The confidence in my heart is also rising step by step.
By the time the movie ended, everyone's eyes were completely different.
"For the next month or so, it's hard for everyone."
At the end of the movie, Lu Ping'an finally said.
"No problem!"
Everyone continues to respond positively.
Batman is a trilogy.
The first part has seen the light of day, and the last two parts can be retained with a high probability.
For the work, continuity is guaranteed.
For the actors, it's the future and the future.
So tonight, everyone can finally get a good night's sleep.
Returning to his villa from the peak, Hu Qingquan was already there.
"Coming back, how's it going over there?"
Lu Ping'an asked.
"Very good, hehe, very good."
Hu Qingquan laughed crow's feet, and it seemed that the situation was beyond expectations.
Also, that's "Brokeback Mountain" after all.
In Hu Qingquan's view, as long as "Brokeback Mountain" wins an award, no matter what award it wins, it will be a big surprise.
This means that Lu Ping'an has made a breakthrough in the feature film award.
However, Hu Qingquan remained calm about whether the film could win an award, and then began to talk about metaphysics.
"It won't work if you say it, and from today onwards, everyone should be okay with it."
Hu Qingquan forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart and let himself not fantasize.
That's a good mentality.
Lu Ping'an agrees.
Even, he doesn't want "Brokeback Mountain" to win the Golden Lion Award like the original time and space.
The devil knows what the future holds.
So don't set your expectations so high.
Like Hu Qingquan, it's good not to think about it anymore.
Next, the publicity work of "Batman" went on track.
The fan base of "Batman" is not small, coupled with the $30 million publicity budget, although this money is not as much as the current "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "Star Wars 3", but the publicity popularity can remain in the top three in North America.
Thanks to so many declining media.
This made Lu Ping'an feel what black and red are also red.
Anyway, whether it is praised or scolded, the heat is there, and the publicity is a success.
Lu Ping'an didn't ask for Xuanfa to be crushed, just come steadily.
"Batman" was announced in North America, and "Crazy Stone" also began its final release in the mainland.
Lu Ping'an was not there, but he also shouted in the air.
The gimmicky slogan "The Chinese movie I'm most looking forward to this year" has had a lot of effect from the beginning.
It's just that some people feel that Lu Ping'an is too crazy and not cautious enough.
When a person reaches a certain height, what he says has a credit effect.
If the propaganda does not match the facts, it is an overdraft of credit.
If "Stone" doesn't work, the influence of the next circuit will be greatly reduced if this kind of rhetoric is used again.
So Lu Ping'an is gambling with reputation.
And this kind of thing will offend people when it comes out, for example, the great poet is very unhappy, he decided that "Wuji" will be released this year and slapped his face!
There are also many other people who feel that Lu Ping'an is too angry.
But so what?
"Stone" was originally a movie of Xingchen Film and Television.
Isn't it a disease if you don't promote your own movies vigorously?
Besides, what if you don't like me?
I'm safe now, but I'm a theater company, you can talk to me loudly?
Of course, this is also true when it comes to credibility.
Fortunately, "Stone" is indeed the strongest Chinese-language commercial film this year, and there is no one.
Time will tell.
Wait until finally the quality of "Stone" really shows.
Everyone will also know that Lu Ping'an never talks big.
The announcement of "Stone" has been soaring, and "Batman" has also ushered in a moment of witnessing miracles.
On May 31, Tokyo, the world premiere of "The Batman" took place here.
The main creators who have been rotating for several days have basically calmed down at this moment.
So far, the number of bullishness and bearishness on the outside has basically not changed much.
If you want to talk about the reason, it is because the previous movies are too bad.
At the same time, fans still love Batman.
All these things that you want to solve will have to wait for the film to come out.
So the creators are lying flat at the moment.
If you really want to say that you are nervous, it is actually those relatives and friends who care about Lu Ping'an.
Everyone knows that "Batman" is about the road to Hollywood.
If you succeed, you will advance and have a bright future.
If you fail, the worst case is to go home, and no one in the mainland will go to the world, and at the same time, you will suffer serious losses, and your life will experience the darkest moment.
In this regard, sitting backstage, waiting for the opening of the premiere in front of him, looking at Lu Ping'an, who was crackling and bursting text messages on his mobile phone, calmly changed his legs.
There was no reply, just quietly enjoying the feeling of peace of mind in the moment.
"Lusang, you can get started."
At this time, the staff who can speak Chinese came to remind Lu Ping'an to put down his mobile phone and walked to the front of the stage with the creators
。。。。。。
Lao Mei, at this time, countless Batman fans are waiting for the blog update of "Tony".
Tony was the fan leader who staged a sit-in in front of the Batman crew.
Now he is already the number one celebrity on Facebook, leading tens of thousands of Batman fans.
Today on the other side of the ocean, "Batman" premiered.
As the number one fan, Tony naturally had to go over to inspect the goods as soon as possible.
It's 9 a.m., and when you count the time, the premiere in Tokyo is over, and Tony even has more than an hour to write a movie review.
But why hasn't it been sent out yet?
Many fans are already a little anxious at this time.
Quite a few people began to speak on his message board:
"It can't be that "Batman" is sent again, right?"
"I said a long time ago that Chinese directors shouldn't be used!"
"It's hard for anyone to come, Batman is dead!"
"Don't worry, wait, it's not so fast, there is a Q&A session after the premiere."
"Yes, don't worry, I don't see other bloggers sending it out."
"I have a bad feeling."
"Your hunch is wrong."
"My Batman, are you really going to die?"
There are more and more comments, and the mentality is getting more and more anxious.
Fortunately, this mood only lasted less than an hour, and Tony finally posted.
"This is Batman!"
A short dynamic that has all Batman fans in their eyes.
Everyone was immediately excited, and immediately began to beat and scold.
Can you write more!
Without thinking about it, Tony posted again.
"I'm sorry, I'm so excited, I chatted with the creators for a while after the movie, and I just returned to the hotel, so I can only use this way to reassure everyone."
Another dynamic has made countless Batman fans stare at the computer screen seriously.
Then another one: "The movie is so good, really, I've never seen a superhero movie like this, Lu really knows Batman too well, he knows how to make movies too well, he's just a master!" ”
"Shet, can you write in more detail?"
"Will you, we want a movie review!"
"Don't worry, everyone, as long as the movie is good, Tony is not a professional film critic, don't attack him."
"Yes, give him a little time and write slowly."
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
“.”
Watching the comments crackle, Tony was thrilled again.
But everyone is right, you can't hang your appetite anymore.
So he hurriedly went to the bathroom to flush his face and began to seriously write his own and not very professional film reviews.
"It's a very different superhero movie."
"Superheroes in the past and now are pure science fiction films, either bitten and mutated, or born with great power, saving the world and the universe at every turn, but Director Lu has made superheroes a film noir, how to say that feeling, it's amazing."
"At this point, I personally asked Director Lu after the premiere, and his answer was that this is an opera style, which matches the martial arts model of the East."
"What do you mean, the opera represents a magnificent atmosphere, it's hard to describe the specifics, you will know when you watch it, the whole movie has a strong sense of momentum, which makes people want to stop."
"In this movie, Batman is no longer a non-human, he is not invincible, he will not go to the sky and the earth at every turn, and the special effects will fly wildly, but he will also be an ordinary person who will be afraid, he will retreat when he experiences life and death, he will lose himself in the face of powerful opponents, and he will be helpless when redeeming others and the city."
"The difference between him and other superheroes is that he eliminates evil and does not rely on killing all villains, that is just a symptom but not a cure, he grows up with evil, he knows the suffering of the people, and the evil erases the hope of Gotham, he brings hope to Gotham, save a city, save a person first, save a person, give faith first, faith is hope."
"In the movie, Wayne is a gentleman who doesn't care about his deeds, and he is also a chivalrous man who is happy to take revenge, walking in the world, punishing adultery and eliminating evil, and being a hero who is welcomed by others."
"'Chivalry', this is the concept of Huaxia, very similar to the guns who kill decisive and happy freelancers in Westerns, I can't describe it, but it's really suitable, I dare say, Batman should be like this."
"Wayne let his chivalrous spirit permeate the entire Gotham, dispel the despair, decadence, self-destruction that hangs over Gotham, reinvent the rules, and return peace to Gotham."
"Wow, I really don't know how to describe it, forgive my clumsy writing, all I can say is, our Batman, alive!"
"I'll watch it again, no, five times!"
“.”
is not a professional film review, and thousands of self have been written freely.
When the rest of the fans saw it, they were pained and happy.
The joy is that not only Tony, but the rest of those who have seen the movie have also received rave reviews.
The pain is also obvious, because I can't watch the movie in person right now, and the unprofessional film reviews.
Many people swear that after they read it, they must write a real movie review and throw it in Tony's face, so that he can see that reading more books is really useful!
But no matter what, now American Batman fans already know that Lu Ping'an's "Batman" will not disappoint.
That's good, that's good!
So the next thing everyone has to do is to wait for the North American release, and then contribute a vote.
If it's really as good as these reviews, then contribute a few more votes.
So many people asked on the same day: "When will it be released in North America?" ”
。。。。。。
Old American fans are waiting for the North American release.
Many domestic fans are also looking forward to the release in the mainland.
After the Tokyo premiere, film reviews about Batman were also reprinted by mainland media.
After all, it is the era when Hollywood movies are absolutely correct, and the old American media say that Batman is very good, and the mainland media at this time will naturally not go against the grain.
Not only will it not be antagonistic, but it will also add some meaning that does not exist in the first place.
For example, the martial arts mentioned by Tony.
The reason why Nolan's "The Mystery of the Heroes" took this name is indeed related to "chivalry".
A protagonist whose parents died and became a hero after experiencing a demonic disaster.
This kind of thing is not too familiar to the Chinese.
So at the moment, almost no one who has seen the movie thinks that it is not made by a Chinese director.
And the Chinese director can shoot so well, which makes many old American media give a thumbs up, which is more proud than a Chinese person to be a big Hollywood director.
"Using the general narrative of Huaxia Jianghu to explain the old American superheroes, it has been well received by the audience."
Seeing this kind of title, which Chinese person is not excited?
Even Lu Ping'an was surprised when he found out.
How else can it be interpreted?
I didn't expect it myself.
The news of the success of the Tokyo premiere is fermenting in the mainland.
Many in the industry see more than just a movie.
In addition to the success of the film, another kind of Chinese culture is recognized.
What everyone sees is that there is really going to be a serious Hollywood director in China!
The first ones who are happy are Lu Ping'an's friends.
While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they immediately began to shout at their friends to prepare to contribute to the box office for Lu Ping'an when the time comes, and by the way, pretend to be a comparison.
The crew of "Sunshine is Like Flowers", during the break, Tong Lei asked the male No. 1 Zhou Wai: "Yiwei, Lu Dao's "Batman" has been released, do you know." ”
Zhou Yiwei replied with a smile: "Of course I know, I have all appeared in it." ”
"Really?!"
Tong Lei was very surprised, and the surprise in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Of course, I'm going to be on stage at the domestic premiere."
Zhou Yiwei calmly raised his hand and hugged Tong Lei, "Wait for the release, let's take a look?" ”
Tong Lei nodded shyly.
Zhou Yiwei didn't know that a catastrophe in his life had befallen him.
Compared with Zhou Yiwei, Zhang Songwen's current situation is not very good, at this time in Nortel, a student asked: "Teacher, why didn't the road guide bring you with him in Hollywood." ”
That's rude.
The reason is that the media fanned the flames before.
After all, Zhang Songwen is indeed the worst mixed up next to Lu Ping'an.
However, Zhang Songwen didn't answer, but Zhu Yawen on the side came up: "You know a fart, there is a cameo appearance of our Teacher Zhang in Batman!" ”
"It's really fake, cow pen!"
"Amazing, amazing."
“.”
After a cheer of envy, the students then asked about the difference between Hollywood and the mainland.
The student who asked the question just now was very embarrassed.
Zhang Songwen didn't care, and told the students what the situation was like in Hollywood.
The majesty of the teacher shines again in the teacher.
Ning Hao was also very happy at the moment.
The more stable Lu Ping'an's side is, the higher the gold content of what he says.
In the past, the power of the phrase "the Chinese movie I am most looking forward to this year" was 10 points.
So now, Lu Ping'an is about to be promoted to Hollywood's director, so the power of this sentence can reach at least 15 points.
The identity is different, and the weight of speech is naturally different.
Of course, with that comes pressure.
"Stone" must not overturn.
Otherwise, I won't be able to lift my head!
Ning Hao At this moment, he suddenly wanted to pee, it must be a bad prostate, yes, it must be.
Friends are happy, but not all of them are friends.
There are both jealous and disdainful.
Here the great poet has become a representative again.
"It's just premiered, so it's too early to be happy!"
He complained to Chen Hong.
Chen Hong didn't know what to say anymore.
The higher Lu Ping'an flew, the more unhappy the great poet's mood became.
Chen Hong could only shake his head at this, this kind of thing could not be persuaded.
But what the great poet said is indeed true.
The premiere was only well received, and the last thing to watch in commercial films was the box office.
"Batman" costs 100 million, and the box office has to be more than 300 million to pay back.
If you don't make money, you fail.
So it's still early.
That being said.
But for Lu Ping'an, the current situation, how can this be lost?
On June 6, "Batman" premiered in Los Angeles.
Lu Ping'an had never seen such a spectacular scene.
In front of the Grand Theater for the premiere in Los Angeles, nearly 1,000 fans gathered.
This posture startled Bell.
If the movie weren't good, they could be torn apart today!
But fortunately, now the quality of the film of "The Mystery of Batman" has become extremely concerned under the dual role of Lu Ping'an's use of public opinion and the invisible hand of fans actively fermenting word of mouth.
This feeling is like "The Return of the Great Sage" back then.
Now the old American Batman fans already know a concept.
That's it: Batman, back!
"After nine years of silence and a near-death experience, Bruce Wayne is back today!"
"Wayne: This time, I'm going to reinvent Batman!"
"I grow with sin, and I keep the light in my heart!"
"I'm a human, not a god, born to be a superhero? That's not me, I'm Bruce Wayne! ”
“。。。”
It's a slogan for Form 2.
Of course, these were not come up with by Lu Ping'an.
It's all up to the old American fans.
It is said that these secondary slogans are super useful among fans.
And so there was a chain reaction.
Fan binge, ongoing.
You can never imagine the limits of your fans!
In the past, Lu Ping'an didn't understand why the girl in the fan circle was so fanatical.
The same is true for Tony, who sat in front of the crew before.
Even though he had seen it, he actually felt that it was due to profit.
But now.
Well, although it is still impossible to understand this spiritual aspect of things.
But what's so bad.
Lu Ping'an smiled and took the creators to wave to fans in front of the theater.
Suddenly, there was a tsunami in front of the theater.
"Lu, thank you for bringing Batman back!"
"Bell!"
“.”
Fans are fanatical.
Lu Ping'an is also very fanatical in his heart.
It's all box office!
The more the merrier! (End of chapter)
