Another movie that steadily broke 100 million and aimed at 200 million appeared in the summer file, which confirmed what many media people said earlier about the big year of movies.

Among them, the biggest beneficiary is naturally Xingchen Company.

At present, "Initial D" has been released for a month, with a box office of 223 million, which is on par with "Twenty Years Old", and "Twenty Years Old" is about to be drawn, and "Initial D" is basically no problem to become the first.

Whether it can become the No. 1 box office of the year, the media believes that it depends on the results of "Night Banquet" and "Baby Plan" in September, "Ink Attack" in November, "Golden Armor" in December, and Lu Ping'an's "Bucket List", which may be released in the Chinese New Year.

Except for "The Bucket List", all of them are blockbusters.

Overall, according to the box office performance of the summer file, the industry is still very optimistic that the films in the second half of the year will achieve good results.

Some people even said that this year is a big year for movies, not only the summer file, but the market has been detonated, so at least half of these films in the second half of the year can exceed 200 million.

In particular, the "Golden Armor" of the Chinese New Year file is estimated to surpass the record of "Wonderful Night 1".

If that were the case, 2006 would be a year of complete explosion.

There is optimism in the industry.

For Lu Ping'an and Xingchen, the overall situation is actually the same.

The success of "Twenty Years Old", "Initial D" and "Painted Skin", and the successful activation of the online ticketing system and Southeast Asian channels, have achieved excellent results, but this is just a summary of the work of the previous two years.

There is no need to be particularly happy, as there is still work to be done on the results of the next phase of work.

At present, for Lu Ping'an, the first task is "Peak 3".

At present, the filming of "Spike 3" is actually very easy for Lu Ping'an.

Just as I had envisioned before taking on this project.

With autonomy, Cheng Long and his family class have a lot of room to play.

In many scenes, as long as the plot framework and shooting parameters are unified, and then Cheng Long can play it himself.

When it comes to the action scenes and special effects scenes that Lu Ping'an wants to learn from, then Lu Ping'an will direct it, and then it will also be completed in cooperation with Cheng Long.

During this period, the two also had a lot of disputes, in terms of new technology, in terms of scripts, in terms of action scene requirements, etc., there is a gap in cognition and experience, and disputes are inevitable, but they are all right things and not people, and then things always develop for the better.

So at present, the film has been filmed for nearly two months, and the cooperation between the two sides is very pleasant, and the progress of the project is much faster than expected.

It is expected to be completed in a month, which can be described as fast.

And there is a basis for this speed.

First of all, compared with the original version, this version of the movie has one less location, and the remaining one has been replaced with a domestic one, and the rest of the locations have been further optimized, and they can be filmed in the studio.

After all, there are a lot of things to coordinate in live action shooting.

You can shoot in the studio eight hours a day.

And on a street, it is open for two hours a day, and it costs money.

If it doesn't go well, a scene can drag you out for a week or two.

This version of Lu Ping'an's "Peak 3" minus an extremely time-consuming street scene and replaced it with a closed venue scene, which directly saved at least a month.

Also, the original Zhang Jingchu was made difficult by the director because of an action during filming, and he was tossed for a long time, so that Cheng Long was furious on the spot, saying that either he would pass or he would resign.

Although there is a certain exaggeration and propaganda in this kind of statement.

But now that Lu Ping'an and Cheng Long have cooperated, in Cheng Long's original words: "Fortunately, it's you, if you change to the original director or other foreign directors, the progress is estimated to be at least a month behind." ”

The cooperation between Chinese actors and Chinese directors is like this, anything can be solved in one sentence, and it is very efficient.

In addition, the original film was shot in real time with "no special effects", but this time, about 30% of the length was replaced by special effects.

For example, driving a tank in the air, fighting in the air, etc., are all taken in the studio, and the rest can be produced in post-production.

Cheng Long was still a little resistant to this at first, but after the actual shooting, he felt that even if it was special effects, he was tired enough, and of course it was thrilling enough to not affect his reputation, so he was more convinced of Lu Ping'an and was happy to shoot like this.

In this way, it can save at least a month of shooting time.

Of course, the post-production time will be longer, but it is post-production, and there is plenty of time, so there is no hurry.

In addition to the above, the most important thing to be able to do is still the golden finger.

Lu Ping'an is an Asian rattlesnake!

All kinds of temporary creative shots, it may take several days to get it done by other directors, but if Lu Ping'an is safe, he can raise his hand and shoot it after scheduling.

The producer of the new line was very angry at first, saying that Lu Ping'an was foolish and didn't care about the project at all!

As a result, after watching the footage, I only had to give a thumbs up.

It's an Asian rattlesnake!

So the prestige of the Asian rattlesnake resounded in Los Angeles again.

Filming continued methodically.

It's August.

Internal entertainment is still lively.

In terms of music, "Today You Are Going to Marry Me" sung by Tao Jiji and Cai Yiling swept all the wedding scenes in August.

Guo Meimei, who was miserable by the girl of the same name of the Red Cross, also released "Not Afraid, Not Afraid", which swept through the early school.

Xue Zhiqian, who rose to fame with "Twenty Years Old Again", released his first album, of which "Serious Snow" entered the annual ranking.

And when it comes to albums, the strongest is naturally Jay's "Still Fantesi", "The Seventh Chapter of the Night", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Thousands of Miles Away", "Listen to Mother", etc., each of which is Wang Bang, and I never get tired of listening to it.

However, if you want to talk about the widest spread and the most penetrating among the masses, it has to be Internet songs and peasant singers, "Perfume is Toxic" and "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" dominate the wireless end.

In terms of celebrities, in August, some people are happy and some are worried.

Fengzhi officially announced the relationship, and the time is sensitive, because Ah Feng's ex-girlfriend Faye Wong has just given birth to Li Yan.

The relationship between the three dominates the headlines, yes, the other male protagonist Soft Rice Li feels that he is a little redundant

Fortunately, compared with the following two, he is not too lucky.

At the beginning of the month, Chen Xiaochun had a car accident and suffered a slight concussion.

The aftermath has not dissipated, and the new generation of idol Hu Ge had a car accident.

Brother Hu's car accident was a little earlier than the original time and space, and the degree was much lower, and there were no fatalities, but Brother Hu still broke his eyebrow bone and eyelids, and it is said that he would have surgery and plastic surgery, so that "Shooting the Condor" was postponed.

Cai Yinong was a little panicked, but she quickly made a decision, she wanted to wait for Brother Hu to recover and ask Lu Ping'an's opinion, and Lu Ping'an agreed directly.

This month is also the big month of the draft.

In the new year's "Supergirl", Shang Wenjie and Tan Weiwei emerged, both of them were well-behaved newcomers on stage, but in the next ten years, the two embarked on two completely different paths.

In the finals of "Come on Good Boy", Pu Bajia, who looks like Ah Hong, became the champion, and the promotion of the show is also unique, and it actually appeared on student books such as "Primary School Days" and "Middle School Student World".

"My Type My Show" has also entered the final stage, and Lu Ping'an remembers a Qi Wei this time.

Overall, '06 was a big year for the draft.

But in fact, in this year's talent show, the most legendary should be Zhao Liying from the Sina advertising draft in the first half of the year.

And the least brilliant should be the audition of "Dream of New Red Mansions" two months later.

A vote of actors was selected, and they all played the role of leftovers, and in the end, they were all quite famous, more famous than many leading actors.

As for "Dream of New Red Mansions" and the entire crew, let's not talk about it.

Lu Ping'an also made some gains in this August, and the popularity was also great.

On August 14, Lu Ping'an, witnessed by Cheng Long, Hu Qingquan and others, left a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

This is the 2468th star on the Walk of Fame, which is an interesting number.

Lu Ping'an also became the fifth Chinese to leave a star on the Avenue of Stars after Huang Liushuang in 1960, Bruce Lee in 1993, Cheng Long and John Woo in 2002.

In fact, according to Lu Ping'an's race, age and achievements, it is not very easy to leave a star now.

Hollywood is also about seniority.

But at the same time, Hollywood stars are also about public relations.

It's just that the competition is not as big as the Oscars, and it is more obscure.

At present, Lu Ping'an has an Oscar statuette in his hand, and there is more than one, and his influence among the Chinese is definitely qualified, and his influence in Hollywood is also good.

In addition, Hu Qingquan and Dingfeng Watzberg are also pushing for this matter, and Dale in public relations is also in charge.

Therefore, this can successfully leave a star, and the old American society also agrees with the majority.

Of course, there is another point that cannot be ignored, that is, it is still the honeymoon period between China and the United States, and Hollywood attaches great importance to the mainland market.

So a lot of things will be much easier under the influence of this general trend.

Lu Ping'an's star in Hollywood was reported in the mainland for the first time.

Occupying the headlines of domestic entertainment is for sure.

The significance of the fifth Chinese in the world is really not small.

The people of the country are honored.

Lu Ping'an is also to further gain status and glory.

It's just a pity that the heat of leaving stars only lasted for a few hours, and the country ushered in the biggest social event in August.
