On the evening of July 10th, "Initial D" was simultaneously released in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, South Korea, Neon, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and other Asian places.

For mainland fans, this is just a movie released, and at most, the attention of this movie is relatively high.

For Xingchen, this release is an Asian-wide simultaneous release test.

Lu Ping'an's movies have achieved release coverage in Asia, and Lu Ping'an's movies + theaters have achieved release coverage in Asia.

These are two completely different concepts.

The former affects Lu Ping'an and Xingchen Company the most.

The latter is related to a wider range of distribution and screening business, and the income may be the entire Chinese film.

Of course, we want to continue to improve in terms of distribution and screening in the future.

It is inseparable from government support, local policy support, reasonable operation and most importantly, good content.

In the film industry, the most important thing is the content.

The glory days of Hong Kong cinema and the current glory period of Hollywood are the most important reflection of this.

When the content of the movie is no longer new, and the local people continue to grow stronger, just like more than ten years later, the mainland began to be indifferent to many cookie-cutter Hollywood movies, even if there were more than 10,000 domestic movie theaters, it would not have a big effect.

In the early years of the 21st century, domestic films, or Chinese-language films, have not actually been able to achieve particularly outstanding characteristics in terms of content, at least compared with competing products, they are not very effective and prominent, so that cultural radiation and influence have not been able to progress for a long time.

It wasn't until later that it was really a step ahead in terms of TV dramas, and in Southeast Asia, "Chinese dramas" gradually came to a bloody end.

What Lu Ping'an wants to do now is actually to use the expansion of channels from now on to slowly realize the high-quality and stable output of Chinese film and television works.

Don't really try to overshadow Hollywood or South Korea and other high-quality content production places, just want to completely nail a nail, so that all parts of Southeast Asia know that China has such a director, such a company, and such excellent works, so that everyone looks forward to it, likes it, and strives to make Southeast Asia gradually become one of the stable ticket bases of Xingchen Company.

At this stage, terminal cinemas and distribution branches in various places are the most important links.

Now, after several years of continuous development, Xingchen Film and Television has achieved transnational development in distribution and cinemas, set up more overseas branches, and finally no longer has to rely 100% on other companies in the distribution and screening of "Initial D" in Southeast Asia.

In the future, Xingchen will also get involved in streaming media and continue to cover a wider range of places according to the current model, rather than just living on this one-third of an acre of land in the mainland.

I believe that the nail buried will have a good effect at that time.

Then again.

With the release time to the best one second.

Theaters around the country are dimming their lights one after another.

At this time, all the audiences who entered the planetary cinema for the first time, whether in the mainland or abroad, have been baptized by the unified high-end decoration of this international cinema.

Next, they will be baptized by the film again

With the opening of the movie.

The opening scene of the star movie appears.

First a planet, then a galaxy, then more and more galaxies, and finally a big hand in the palm of his hand.

The eyes of countless Southeast Asian fans lit up, this beginning is so familiar!

They remembered the Chinese mainland movies they had seen earlier, such as "The Tuner", "Source Code" and so on, all of which began like this.

A feeling of "quality" came out of my head.

Just as mainland movie fans see "Fishing Boy on the Moon at DreamWorks", "MGM's Roaring Lion", "20th Century Fox's Lighthouse" and so on, what comes to mind is a "Hollywood blockbuster".

Now, "Produced by the Stars" has begun to have a similar effect.

In the face of blockbusters, everyone will naturally be in awe.

This is true for first-time moviegoers, as well as for long-time movie fans.

Everyone knows that the films of Oscar-winning director Lu Ping'an from China are not bad.

In addition, the beginning of this time brought a greater shock to everyone, in fact, "3D".

As a pioneer and leader of global 3D films, Lu Ping'an will certainly not let go of a wave of sales for this kind of drag racing drama and new markets.

So the eyes of the audience who came into contact with 3D for the first time lit up, amazed, adjusted their sitting posture, put on the popcorn and coke, and began to watch the movie attentively.

Then the film begins.

Compared with the original version, this version of "Initial D" is 7.8 points if you use the score of Goldfinger, and now it is 8.5 points.

What's the difference?

The main thing is that the plot is fuller, the details are more sufficient, the acting is better, and there are more drag racing scenes.

The overall movie often went from 108 minutes to 130 minutes in the original version.

In a word, "Initial D" has changed from a small family style of Xiangjiang movies to a blockbuster similar to "Fast and Furious".

Boom boom boom ~~~

The opening scene is a drag racing competition on Zhongshan Road in the dark night, with the roar of the engine and tail lights, accompanied by the original extremely catchy rhythm music "Lost Good Things" and various tracks and car shots.

A sense of Hollywood blockbuster came to my face.

Coupled with the 3D effect, the visual impact is directly doubled.

The brightness of the original film is not very high, Lu Ping'an brightened it a little this time, this is to match the 3D effect, and at the same time, in order to retain the thrill of drag racing in the night, some effort has been put into color grading.

Now it seems that the visuals are excellent.

While enjoying the visual effects, fans quickly learned that this was a drift race staged at the same time at the same time in two drag racing races.

A batch of Kanki's Ryosuke Takahashi.

Deng Chao, who needs acting skills, is also very handsome.

The two of them looked at the road with either resolute or cynical eyes, looking at the front of the road, and the steering wheel in their hands was at ease.

With the drifting corners again and again, just the first three minutes, it made people adrenaline soar.

At the same time, the narration of the two has been sounding.

The audience also quickly knew that this was an agreement between the two, an agreement for a decisive battle against Autumn Mountain.

In the end, as both won at the same time.

As soon as the picture turned, the two people and two cars met on the mountain road of Autumn Mountain.

The plot also came to the place of the decisive battle.

Then, the title of the film with "Initial D" lights up.

The film has also officially entered the theme.

Next, it's still a drift play.

Jay, who sells tofu, holds the window with one hand, the tofu in the trunk sways gently, and the background music is also very pleasant.

But the camera was pulled up with a special effect, but I saw that the whole car was speeding on the mountain road at this time, drifting freely.

A contrast directly made fans look forward to it.

Those two birdmen are about to meet our protagonists, hey!

And Jay's fans have already shouted in their hearts: Jay is handsome!

The next plot is basically the same as the original.

The drunken father, the sensible son, the son's first love, and the protagonist who accidentally defeated one of the two birdmen with a drain bend and successfully pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger succeeded in his "career" again, and love also came.

"I bought a very sexy swimsuit".

and "I'm going back to the countryside for a few days." ”

Then the plot of the movie enters the second half.

AE86 was scrapped, and Huang Bo found out that the male protagonist's girlfriend was an aid girl.

Eventually, the Great War came.

"86 is up the mountain!"

Then there is the drag racing scene that is more thrilling and longer than the original film.

If there are also time-travelers in this world, they will know at a glance, isn't this a copy of the footage of "Fast and Furious 5"?

The overall use of drag racing shots in "Furious" is very strong.

The low-angle camera captures the front of the car, and the car moves horizontally frequently, but the ground and tires are moving at high speed, and only the sound of the engine and tire friction can be heard in the ears.

Then the camera is everything, the protagonist swings the steering wheel, the camera can't catch the car, and the whole car in the picture seems to be out of control, and the visual stimulation is very prominent.

The three-car competition uses this kind of lens performance, and the thrill is far beyond the original.

In the end, Chen Xiaochun rushed off the track, and the protagonist defeated Ryosuke Takahashi, and after the race, he hesitated when faced with whether to chase higher peaks in the car.

It's just that he soon knew that no matter how fast the AE86 was, it couldn't catch up with Natsuki who was sitting in a Mercedes-Benz.

I saw the heroine who had finished the hardware softening project get out of the "uncle's" car.

Jay cried bitterly in "All the Way North" and made a life decision: I want to join the team!

At the end of the film, the hearty fans were comfortable.

At this time, countless sharp-eyed fans in the mainland are even more happy.

Because they have already discovered that "Uncle Mercedes-Benz" is not the road guide making a cameo!
