At 7 o'clock, Lu Ping'an met Cheng Long in the hotel restaurant.

"Ping'an, it's hard for you to ask you out so late."

"It's not troublesome, and being idle is also idle."

"How's your movie going?"

"It's about twenty days away."

"So fast, I remember you just turned on the computer not long ago, right?"

"Special effects account for more than half of the work, and most of the work is post-production."

"No wonder, don't forget me at the premiere."

"No, it won't."

The two chatted a few words familiarly, coffee came up, and then Cheng Long began to talk about business.

At present, Lu Ping'an's adaptation of the script of "Peak 3" has not communicated with Cheng Long.

So Lu Ping'an thought that Cheng Long would ask questions about the new script.

But unexpectedly, Cheng Long was talking about the old script: "A few days ago, Bleitrattner, the director of the first two parts of the Peak series, came to me and said that he wanted to talk to you about the script adaptation, I could hear what he meant, he thought you had better not change the script." ”

After hearing this, Lu Ping'an directly refused, with a firm attitude: "It must be changed!" It's not negotiable! And it has to be overhauled! ”

Cheng Long was a little embarrassed: "He said that he had been working with the screenwriter for more than two years for this script, and it was his hard work. ”

After hearing this, Lu Ping'an shook his head directly:

"Two years to run into such a thing? Brother Long, you've read the old script, let me say something ugly, this script is a send! ”

"Not really, right?"

"It's a send! I'll give you a few examples. ”

Lu Ping'an snapped his fingers as he spoke:

"The villain of the old script is the Chinese triad, and it is also the world's largest criminal organization with more than 500,000 people, let's not say whether this is in the black country, just look at this setting, and then look at the script, do you see if there is a problem first?"

"First, why would such a big criminal organization be so brainless and dare to assassinate the consul of a country?"

"Second, why does such a large organization have a den that can be wiped out? And these people only have a big villain and a few people without weapons, and they fight with hands and feet and cold weapons? ”

"It's not that there are no thermal weapons, but the weapons that such a large organization has come up with are actually these old-fashioned machine guns?"

"Also, why did such the world's largest criminal organization write top secrets on women's heads, and also design a bridge section that cuts off the head after reading?"

"Put all these plot problems first, and then go back to the most critical domestic problems, the script is clearly the 'Chinese Triad', 500,000 members around the world, drugs, weapons, smuggling, organ trafficking, pornography trade, good guys, it is simply black Chinese individuals! Why didn't he talk about the neon Yamaguchi group that already existed? ”

"Let me just say it, this script is based on the obscenity of Chinese stereotypes!"

"If you really want to do it according to him, can it be released in the mainland? Not only can't it be released, but you and I may be in trouble. ”

"Brother Long, you are a world-renowned kung fu superstar, I am also a good director, we are mixed in Hollywood, but we are first and foremost Chinese, right?"

Lu Ping'an said a lot in a row, and his tone was a little excited.

In fact, the script structure is still complete.

But Lu Ping'an just can't get used to this kind of rotten thing that hides dirt and dirt.

It is no wonder that this film will be banned from being introduced in the mainland.

But on the other hand.

The current general social atmosphere in China is not as good as it was later, and fans will pay so much attention to this.

To be precise, the light of Hollywood is still very bright, and it is easy to hide a lot of dirt hidden under the glossy surface.

The simplest example, the current Chinese people look at "Saving Private Ryan", and the feeling of the Chinese people watching this film more than ten years later is completely different.

The same is true of the original time and space "Spike 3", the evaluation of the movie is not high, but what did some domestic critics say at that time, saying that the main reason for the unsatisfactory box office of this film is that the perspective is too low, the perspective of a black man and a Chinese, this kind of film is not mainstream, just like Jews are not recognized by mainstream American society.

Everything else is correct, but when it comes to Jewish opinions, it's a thunderbolt.

But don't believe it, this is really the mainstream idea in China during this period.

It's just naïve to do!

This can be said to be more "tolerant" of Chinese people in this period, and it can also be said that the Hollywood filter in this period is too thick.

Therefore, "Spike 3" was not introduced into China, and many people felt that it was too sensitive.

Do you think the main tone of the movie is China?

For Cheng Long and others, this is also basically the idea.

I think it's good that Hollywood movies can have Chinese elements.

After all, there wasn't anything before.

Sure enough, Cheng Long asked tentatively: "It's not that serious, right?" ”

Lu Ping'an shook his head directly, not knowing what to say.

"It's not a question of having or not, there is no room for compromise on culture."

This is just a project that Lu Ping'an can't manage, but since it's in Lu Ping'an's hands, it definitely can't come like this.

So Lu Ping'an continued to say firmly to Cheng Long: "Brother Long, I know that you are more humane, you have collaborated with him in two movies and have succeeded twice, you are already friends, I can understand it for him to speak, so let's do it, if he is willing, then let him be named brother as a screenwriter, and the remuneration can be the same, but it is impossible if I don't change the script, I won't change the script if it's almost ready, and no one can change my script!" ”

"Not really."

Cheng Long smiled and waved his hand, "Today's help to convey the meaning is for the sake of knowing each other for so many years, after our project is decided, he will be emailed and called me for three days, wanting to keep the project coherent, but I actually don't have such a good relationship with him, otherwise I wouldn't have looked for you to be the director at the beginning." ”

"That's good." Lu Ping'an nodded after hearing this, and then said to Cheng Long, "Don't worry, the new script will only be better, not worse, this time, let's make a real blockbuster." ”

"Let's talk about the new script."

"Yes."

After more than an hour, Cheng Long no longer had any place for the old script in his heart.

All he could think about now was a few action scenes in the new script.

Pickpocketing, and twice!

Tanks in the air, and tanks in the air cannons!

There are also air fights, lying on the tank, which is exciting enough!

There are also car chases, fights, drift shots.

There are also all kinds of interesting action scenes.

So much so that he felt that "Baby Project", which is still being filmed, didn't really want to be filmed.

Lu Ping'an looked calm.

"Spike 3" in the original time and space actually doesn't have the feeling of a "blockbuster", and it can't be enough to cover the production cost of more than 100 million.

This is also one of the reasons why the original film failed at the box office.

Fans came in with the mood of watching blockbusters, but Cheng Long couldn't move, there were few action sequences, and the few action scenes left behind couldn't strongly stimulate the senses.

And the most important thing is that although the script is complete, the old American people seem to be a little naïve and old-fashioned.

If the advantages are not played, the disadvantages will naturally be magnified.

Naturally, the box office is not much better.

And now, Lu Ping'an has changed his personality and made a bit of a reversal, turning the villain into a larger international criminal organization.

The trigger was not the assassination of the consul, but the theft of nuclear bombs, which was a more old-fashioned but now very new crisis.

In addition, these alone can make fans feel that it is completely worth the ticket price.

In this way, even if the movie is not a big hit, it is probably no problem to surpass the first one.

The point is that it is not too difficult to shoot, and it can even save money.

For example, the tank drama, the literary drama is in the tank, and the appearance is CG, how much money can it cost?

After the excited Cheng Long came back to his senses, he asked: "How to solve these planes?" ”

"You're Brother Long, it's up to you."

"Haha, I don't have that much ability, but I can try."

The two clinked glasses of coffee, and the matter was settled.

At this time, Lu Ping'an's mobile phone rang, and it was the widow sister: "It seems that you don't care much about whether you can get the little golden man?" ”

Lu Ping'an smiled, and then said to Cheng Long: "Let's do this first, Brother Long, I have to go to incense." ”

"Oh, it's half past twelve, it's time to rest, what are you talking about, Shangxiang?"

"That's right, incense sticks to Lady Luck."

"Oh yes, the award is presented tomorrow, go well, be religious, we are all waiting for your good news!"

"Haha thanks, let's go, see you later~"
