348 I smelled the smell of a knife used to kill chickens

On December 10, "1937" finished its process in Los Angeles theaters.

Next, "1937" will be led by Hu Qingquan to begin the journey of harvesting various film critics' awards in North America, making final preparations for the Oscars.

On the 11th, "1937" won three awards from the Hollywood Film Critics Association for Best Picture, Best Cinematography, and Best Director.

On the 12th, "1937" won three awards for the National Review Association's Top Ten Films of the Year, Best Cinematography, and Best Director.

On the 13th, "1937" was nominated for 6 nominations for the National Critics' Choice Award in '06.

On the 14th, "1937" received 7 nominations for the Golden Globe Awards.

The Oscar nomination announcement date on January 23 is getting closer and closer, and the copyright price of "1937" has skyrocketed, from about $6 million before the release in Los Angeles to $42 million after the Golden Globe nomination came out.

The story of Nanjing is also becoming more and more known.

On the same day, Lu Ping'an also started "Batman 2" on the set in Los Angeles.

Lu Ping'an came to Lao Mei this time, and the related tasks of "1937" are only one of them, and the other big task is "Batman 2".

"Batman 2" was actually supposed to be launched a month ago, because "1937" was delayed.

Heath Ledger also endured more mental torture for this, and Lu Ping'an was afraid that he would hang up early, so he didn't delay anymore and started filming directly.

At the same time, Lu Ping'an also began the work of "unity can be united" to escort the film's Olympic journey and his future career in Hollywood.

Hollywood, the field of interest.

As long as the interests are there, the relationship can be stable.

Now that Lu Ping'an has a good relationship with the Oscar official, Sidney is very optimistic about this Chinese director who values the Oscars very much.

As the Chinese market grows, so will the relationship between Hollywood and China.

In North America itself, the chain of interests of Lu Ping An and various large institutions will also become more and more solid.

Among them, the relationship with the Big Six, he has actually cooperated with two of them quite happily at the moment.

For example, Warner, anyway, Warner now attaches great importance to "Batman", and this time they have 40% of the share of "Batman 2", with a total investment of 100 million US dollars.

And the market prospect of the film is excellent, and it is a project with commercial prospects in the current superhero movies and even all types of films.

Naturally, they don't want Lu Ping'an to die because of some reasons.

So after Lu Ping'an said that he had suffered death threats these days, there were more than 30 loaded security guards on the set of "Batman 2", and promised to use some connections to help when necessary.

Therefore, the interest linkage is indeed the most stable relationship.

The same goes for Paramount.

Lu Ping'an and Paramount collaborated on "Chainsaw 3" and "Brokeback Mountain", and the high income made the relationship between the two parties very good.

Now it's time for the third collaboration.

On the 12th, the American version of "Wonderful Night 1" was released.

For this film, Paramount's initial expectation was that it would make double or double the profit, and it was already quite satisfied.

After all, the cost is only 12 million, and they account for 30%.

As a result, on the 15th, "Wonderful Night 1" was released in North America, and the box office in the first three days was 40 million!

This made Paramount's boss call directly, wanting to directly finalize the cooperation of the second part.

After all, it looks like "Wonderful Night 1" will definitely not be able to collect 150 million 200 million in North America, and the global box office is estimated to be at least 400 million!

Compared with the cost of 12 million, it is simply a big explosion, even more fierce than "Chainsaw 3"!

How can this kind of series be easily let go?

Paramount simply regards Lu Ping'an as the God of Wealth!

In Hollywood, whoever mixes the most can bring benefits to people.

So it's not just Paramount, but also many producers who also come to ask, when will the second part be cooperated, can't you leave us behind.

Lu Ping'an is very calm about this, and the global box office of this film is close to 600 million.

Now that there is the title of adaptation of Lu Ping'an's work, and the popularity of "1937" is still there, although the Chinese version has come out, it seems that the box office performance of the American version of "Wonderful Night 1" will not be much worse than the original time and space.

It's just that for the cooperation of the second part, Lu Ping'an said directly: "Whether there is a lower part depends on whether I will be killed!" ”

Mr. Paramount: "Who?!" Who's going to kill you? ”

Lu Ping'an took the opportunity to talk about the death threat.

Mr. Paramount said directly: "Lu, don't worry! If you really want to do something, I will definitely help you, if that Watts guy doesn't care about you, you come to me, whatever conditions you want! ”

Although these are more polite words.

But when the interests are related and you don't die, these promises can indeed be used.

And this is also the reason why Lu Ping'an was willing to disperse the interests at the beginning.

In North America itself, Lu Ping'an's fundamentals are actually still at the peak.

Don't look at the peak before it was small, but now it's not ordinary.

Salted fish Watzberg and several shareholders have been turned into Hollywood bigwigs by Lu Ping'an.

These people actually have one thing in common, that is, the family background behind them is not bad.

So this time, Watzberg seemed to have said something to his family, and after getting some promises, he also pretended to be safe for Lu Ping'an: "Lu, I know that it is difficult for you during this time, and I have rarely helped in the past few years, but believe it or not, as long as we are still together in the future, I can help you solve the impact if you encounter anything." ”

Lu Ping'an is actually a little unbelieving.

In the past few days, he has received threatening emails, and Hu Qingquan has also received letters with bullets, as if the information protection at the peak is a virtual reality, and Lu Ping'an certainly has some opinions about Watzberg.

However, Watzberg was unusually today, and when he saw Lu Ping'an's expression, he hooked the corners of his mouth: "If you don't believe it, let's make a bet!" ”

"Okay, bet on what?"

"Just bet that during this Oscar, if something happens, I can settle it for you, then you will be the first to thank me and pronounce my name when you take the stage to accept the award this time."

"Haha, that's fine, but what if you lose?"

"You can tell me to do anything!"

Seeing his confident appearance, Lu Ping'an began to believe it.

"Okay, just bet on a good bottle of wine."

"That's it!"

"That's it!"

"Then you can get your wine ready now!"

Watzberg said and walked away confidently.

When Lu Ping'an saw him like this, he also raised some expectations.

But it's better not to go wrong.

Peace and security is true.

Just like this Christmas file, An An made one or two hundred million dollars from "Wonderful Night 1", and no one should come to him, it was the best.

North America's "1937" sang all the way, and his career was also on track.

On the domestic side, there has also been a stir.

At present, there are two things that are the hottest in China.

One is that "Golden Armor" is about to premiere.

"Golden Armor" has been promoted since October, and the momentum is very good!

The entire mainland film industry, in Zhang Weiping's own words, is: no one can fight.

In November, "Ink Attack" was released.

Andy + Fan Xiaopang + Wu Qilong.

150 million cost!

I thought that this film would hit a very high box office.

As a result, it's been almost a month now, and the mainland box office can break 70 million!

It's a rookie of rookies!

And another potential opponent, Lu Ping'an, seems to have given up the Lunar New Year file.

Zhang Weiping was very comfortable.

is only a small drama with tens of millions, even if it really comes across, what can it do?

So this year's Chinese New Year stalls, from popularity to box office, are all from my "Golden Armor"!

Outcome.

Just when "Golden Armor" was in full swing and was overwhelmingly promoted with the old clichΓ©.

Big news of domestic entertainment airborne!

"Lu Ping'an's new work "1937" may be banned by Hollywood!"

Zhang Weiping was overjoyed.

Results start a few days later.

"Lu Ping'an's new work "1937" has been recognized by the North American film critics as one of the biggest favorites of this year's Oscars!"

""1937" is a shot to the end, shocking the world!"

"1937 was nominated for 7 Golden Globes!"

β€œγ€Š1937》.”

The twists and turns of "1937" directly exploded the entire domestic entertainment.

Zhang Weiping grabbed his head, retreated, kept retreating, and almost knelt down and looked up to the sky and shouted: No.

If "1937" is really coming, "Golden Armor" is in danger!

Seeing this, Lao Mouzi asked directly: "You didn't say anything nonsense at that time, did you?" ”

"Of course not, how can I talk nonsense about this kind of movie."

Zhang Weiping felt that he was not stupid, how could he not see this kind of thing.

When he goes out, what others do is beneficial to the nation, but he can't get used to it, and he can't stand on the opposite side of the nation, so he didn't say anything at that time, only said that the cultural output chose the wrong direction, which is already very conservative.

"It's good that you're not talking nonsense."

Lao Mouzi nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "This movie is very strong, get ready." ”

"You don't care."

Zhang Weiping waved his hand a little irritably, and then quickly came up with a solution.

Actually, there isn't much that can be done.

At this juncture, we can only increase publicity.

So that night, the news of "Golden Armor" came up again.

What premiere will please whoever who.

The tidbits of Lao Mouzi's filming were also released.

In the video, seeing the actor acting well, Lao Mouzi was about to cry.

However, the effect was novel, but it didn't make much of a splash.

Because on the 15th, internal entertainment once again airborne the news:

Lu Ping'an's new work "Bucket List" is set for December 24th! Stay tuned. ”

"Lu Ping'an: This is by far the most satisfying script I am with"

"The American version of "Bucket List" has been remade, and Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson took the initiative to reduce their salaries to star"

"The Bucket List: A Life's Gift for All"

"Andy: Reading "Bucket List" can heal your life."

"The Bucket List" has finally begun to be promoted!

And these news, in the mainland, a movie fan will be excited to watch it.

The most satisfying movie?

Hollywood actors take the initiative to reduce their salaries to act?

This script is not bad!

And the most important thing is that this is Lu Ping'an's work!

Now the three words of Lu Ping'an are already golden signboards!

Earlier, many people were looking forward to whether there would be a movie coming out of this year's New Year's stalls, otherwise they really didn't want to go out to the cinema.

Now, Lu Ping'an has just experienced "killing the beauty in one shot" in Hollywood.

Now his most satisfying script is here.

So what else to say?

Look at that!

As a result, the popularity of "Bucket List" instantly overwhelmed "Golden Armor".

The "want to see" and "pre-sale" on Douban and Taopiao website skyrocketed overnight, approaching "Golden Armor".

This scene, Zhang Weiping was in a trance, at that time, Lu Ping'an had just debuted, and no matter how hard the work was announced, it was not as good as Lao Mouzi sneezing.

Now, it's time and time!

But the question is: "How is it not 1937?" ”

Zhang Weiping frowned, and seemed to smell a smell of "killing chickens with a knife".

Too confident!

Zhang Weiping hammered table.

But he still didn't panic.

I really don't believe it.

Your film is only promoted a week before its release.

And my film has an investment of more than 300 million yuan, and after doing so much publicity, I will not be able to do your small film of less than 50 million!

Since you use this kind of low-budget feature film to bump into "Golden Armor".

Then use the box office to see the real thing!
