"86 is up the mountain!"
"Hollywood-level movies, bullforks!"
"Even if Jay Lun acts in a Hollywood-level blockbuster, isn't it still safe to go up the tree?"
"Strongly condemn the road guide, how can you do this to Jay?"
"No matter how fast Jay Lun drives, the AE86 can't catch up with Natsuki who is sitting on the road guide Mercedes-Benz"
"Yesterday I lost to a Wuling Hongguang in Akinayama, he was very fast, drifted through the corner with inertia, I didn't read the license plate, I just remember that the back window of the car said 'repair the house leaking', if you see him, please tell him, I was waiting for him in Akinayama on Friday night"
"I just sat in your car and I noticed something that was unnatural every time I cornered. Don't you think? Although your three-jumper has a lot of horsepower, the front of the car is very heavy, and there are so many sharp bends on Akina Mountain, every time you enter the corner, you must push your head, especially the last five hairpin bends, you can't get the best route every time. Unless you can overcome this problem, you won't be able to fight my Wuling Hongguang..."
"In the future, when you steal food, remember to say: I will go back to the countryside for a few days"
"Director Lu is a young man after all, and I am really grateful to Director Lu for making this kind of movie that we young people love to watch"
"Do you guess whether the road guide likes drag racing or not"
"Domestic movies finally have Hollywood-level drag racing blockbusters, Jay didn't go to Hollywood, but he is one of the few stars in Asia who participated in Hollywood-level movies"
"It has to be Lu Ping'an, why don't other directors study hard, don't always be costume films"

The next day, various film reviews about "Initial D" came out.
It can be said that "Initial D" in the original time and space is a movie that can create stalks.
And movies with strong "meme-making" ability can also show to a certain extent that movies do have a wide audience.
Strictly speaking, the original "Initial D" is really good-looking, or really artistic, so it is naturally lacking.
The score of 7.8 in the original time and space, from the perspective of the movie, is slightly higher by a few tenths of a point.
But the reason why "Initial D" is popular is that the box office results are so good.
In fact, in addition to the flow of actors, the quality of the movie itself, and the accumulation of IP fans, there is another reason that cannot be ignored, that is, the film stepped on the G-spot of young fans of that era.
You have to know the time of the original time and space in 2005.
Almost all Chinese-language films on the market are either mainstream institutional films, literary films, or unknown "blockbusters", or Xiangjiang filmmakers', pee, and fart comedies and some kung fu films that are no longer brilliant.
There are almost no films that really benchmark the young pioneer group.
Drag racing, underground races, starring young "traffic" stars, a feast of appearance, and more.
Everything is something that young people love to watch.
Like later films such as "Little Times", it is important to step on the G-spot of the "neglected" crowd.
And young people in this period of 2006 were very rebellious.
And the object of rebellion is not only school, family, but also rebellion against the mainstream world.
This is an era when the term "generation gap" is taken seriously.
Under the torrent of the times, the rise of the Internet, the beginning of the replacement of discourse, the conflict between the views and aesthetics of the new and old generations, the rapid widening of the gap between the rich and the poor, and the desperate gap between the country and the world power.
In such an environment, there are countless new groups of students who want to gain mainstream recognition.
gave birth to various things that are not very recognized under the mainstream eye, such as "killing Matt", "Internet singer", and "spoof".
So a film that catches up with the trend and is not so mainstream, facing a group of audiences who have never been mainly treated, but the consumption power of these audiences has come up again, and the results will naturally not be bad.
In Xiangjiang and Wanwan, it is actually similar.
"Initial D" represents youth, representing that the new generation of stars can still make better-looking movies than the older generation, and it has nothing to do with "Infernal Affairs" or something.
Now, this movie has been processed by Lu Ping'an, a big director, and on the basis of the original version, the original version is not up to the Hollywood-level blockbuster atmosphere so that it has some "local atmosphere", and it is directly replaced with a high-end sense of "Hollywood atmosphere".
This amplifies the enthusiasm of the young fan base.
Many people feel that they are being noticed.
Many people feel that their fantasies about domestic movies seem to have been realized by Lu Ping'an himself.
After all, Director Lu is not as lofty as other big directors, and what he shoots for everyone is not to kill and chop but for steamed buns, and he also ridicules you for not being able to understand, or if you can't understand why the protagonist is dying, you don't have to think about the blockbuster that you can't understand.
Director Lu makes movies that are simple, can stimulate your adrenaline, and connect with the world.
Compared with Hollywood movies, "Initial D" may have no difference except for those yellow faces.
。。。。。。
"Initial D", as expected, was a box office hit in many places after its release.
The box office in the mainland exceeded 100 million in a week, which includes the pre-sale box office.
Xiangjiang also broke 13 million in the first week of its release, aiming at 40 million and the first Chinese film box office at the end of the year.
Wanwan and Southeast Asia and other places also won at the box office.
It's just that the relevant people didn't jump to conclusions easily, because "Mission Impossible 3" is here.
On July 19, "Mission Impossible 3" was released in Asia.
It's just the same as Lu Ping'an expected.
"Mission Impossible 3" did not show the strength of the media's predictions.
"Black China", the plot is not brilliant enough, the publicity and distribution are also lacking, and the film scheduling is not dominant.
The most important thing is that the "dimensionality reduction blow" of Hollywood blockbusters to Chinese-language films has been basically hedged by the Hollywood-style performance of "Initial D".
In less than a week, all the media on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places were basically convinced that "Mission Impossible 3" could no longer constitute much of a threat to "Initial D".
It's July 25th.
Two weeks after the release of "Initial D", the box office in the mainland was 165 million, 25 million Hong Kong dollars in Xiangjiang, 75 million New Taiwan dollars in Wanwan, a total of 63 million yuan in Southeast Asia, and a total of 21 million US dollars in Neon and South Korea.
Among them, the box office gold content in Southeast Asia, South Korea and Japan is particularly sufficient.
Because "Fast and Furious 3" has not been released in the mainland, but it has just been released in many other regions.
"Initial D" vs. "Furious 3", to be honest, it is not easy to compete.
But fortunately, "Furious 3" is also the lowest-grossing film in the series, the plot is a little detached from the main line, and it fails to make good use of the advantages of the series, of course, if you look at it from a later perspective, this film is actually very good, and there is a lot of foreshadowing, but now it is 06 years after all.
So in general, "Initial D" is still stronger than "Furious 3" with Hollywood-level production, IP fan base, and director star appeal, completing the box office dominance in Southeast Asia and topping the current box office list!
At the same time, Lu Ping'an's "Twenty Years Old Again" was released in the mainland for one month and 5 days, with a box office of 201 million, and Xiangjiang and Wanwan were officially released, with a box office of 20.5 million and 62 million New Taiwan dollars, which also achieved impressive results.
It has basically been determined that the two movies are over 200 million, and in the mouth of the media, Lu Ping'an has basically succeeded in dominating the summer file.
In fact, he also dominated the entire Southeast Asian summer file.
In this regard, Lu Ping'an expressed satisfaction, but also regrets.
He thinks that it is not appropriate to use "Initial D" to develop the market, after all, this is the IP of Xiaori, and "Pacific Rim" or "Kung Fu Panda" are suitable.
But the last two films have not been done well after all, and the matter has come to this point, just think about it.
Then I thought about it, and I realized that the situation is actually not bad now.
After completely revitalizing the theater chain and distribution in East Asia, the next oriental magic movie like "Painted Skin" will be able to benefit, and the future stars and other Chinese films will also be able to benefit through him.
On the 26th, Yan Danchen returned to China after filming the scene of "Peak 3" in 12 days.
At this time, "Return to Twenty Years Old" has exceeded the goal and entered the closing publicity stage, and Yan Danchen will start the final stage of feedback mode after returning to China.
In the next half month, Yan Danchen will join hands with Han Hong, Guorong, the main creators and various charities to participate in various public welfare care activities for the elderly and make donations.
This has been planned for a long time, Lu Ping'an's original intention is not only to take the opportunity to give Rong'an Fund a boost, but the rest is to praise Yan Danchen.
To praise Yan Danchen, the box office, works, and awards are only one of them, and the most important thing is to create a good image.
Of course, it is utilitarian, but in fact, it is indeed real money invested, not just for show.
It's just that I didn't expect that in this way, some discordant voices were also extinguished.
