The 476 mainland market needs to be more open and inclusive
At this time, the earthquake has gradually subsided, and the heat of the Olympics has also decreased.
The Paralympics are important, but the heat itself is not much.
Therefore, as soon as the big news in the entertainment industry and the film industry comes out, it can get super high attention as usual.
As a result, the news that Lu Ping'an became the fifth "billion box office director" in world film history shocked and made all fans and people proud for the first time.
Billion dollars!
What is the concept?
That's about 7 billion RMB!
In 07, the total box office of the whole country was only a little more than 4 billion yuan!
Lu Ping'an is simply against the sky.
But this data doesn't seem to be the most drastic.
Soon, some netizens on the Internet made statistics on Lu Ping'an's career.
Since Lu Ping'an made his first theatrical movie "Tuner" in 01, it has been counted to "Batman 2".
One calculation.
Boy.
The total box office of Lu Ping'an's films has reached $4.3 billion!
According to this year's exchange rate, it is just over 30 billion yuan!
30 billion!
What is this concept?
This means that in the future, directors across the Taiwan Strait and three places will no longer use the total box office of their careers for marketing.
Because this data is basically not surpassed by a second person.
After all, look at the forced director, take John Woo, who is now admired by many people, before Lu Ping'an came out, this person should be said to be the most fierce commercial director in Asia, right?
A number of Hollywood masterpieces, the highest "Mission Impossible 2" is more than 500 million.
If nothing else, let's just say that being able to enter Hollywood to direct is the lifelong desire of most directors.
But even if people are already so good, the total box office so far is only $1.2 billion!
Even he was led by Lu Ping'an off a cliff, so what will he use this data to compare with in the future.
Of course, some people have said that there is nothing to compare with the below, and if you have the ability, you can compare with the above.
But in this case, who do you compare to?
Everyone found that there were very few people in front of Lu Ping'an.
For example, Spielberg, George Lucas, and a few others.
So in this way, Lu Ping'an has officially become a member of the same level as these people in the hearts of the people.
The most important thing is that Lu Ping'an is young, and his career is on the rise.
You must know that among the 4.3 billion box office, last year alone, Lu Ping'an won 1.8 billion box office with "Huantai", "Peak 3" and "Panda".
Therefore, many people have decided that Lu Ping'an will definitely become the first person at the box office in film history.
The first person is Chinese!
You can say whether you are proud or not!
For a while, Lu Ping'an's prestige rose a lot again.
In this regard, Xingchen quickly issued a notice.
"There are currently more than six films with a box office of more than $1 billion in global film history, such as "Jurassic Park" in '93 and "The Lion King" in '94, which are not counted, and in addition, there are many excellent films in the world that have not been fully counted.
Director Lu believes that the global film market continues to rise every day like inflation, and there will be more and more movies with a global box office of more than $1 billion in the future, just like the number of movies with a box office of over $300 million in the mainland is now much more than four years ago, so "Batman 2" has nothing to be proud of when it wins $1 billion.
Compared with the pursuit of box office, Director Lu said that the most important thing is to make good movies that fans love to watch and can even watch repeatedly.
In the future, Xingchen will forge ahead and strive to make more excellent works for fans all over the world to entertain and have a happy time. ”
The pattern came out at once.
While fans and the public praised it, Lu Ping'an's reputation has also increased repeatedly.
The most intuitive benefit is that it has a great effect on the addition of new movies.
Everyone's eyes quickly turned to Xingchen's new movie "Wonderful Night 2".
Although this movie is not directed by Lu Ping'an.
But Lu Ping'an is a producer, and Ning Hao is also a very high-quality director.
Domestic commercial film directors are definitely among the top three.
The most important thing is that "Wonderful Night 2" is a series.
Successful series have inherent advantages.
On the spot, "Wonderful Night 1" won the box office record.
The national character is very strong.
In addition, "Wonderful Night 2" has now released the revelations of all the actors' roles on the official website.
Good guys, twenty or so characters, a whole bunch of big names.
There are also quite a lot of small flowers, which means that there is hardly a nameless one.
Don't care what the plot is, anyway, the plot of the star movie is quite strong, and the market confidence is directly off the table.
Of course, there is also a question here.
That is: why is it released during the Spring Festival?
The most sensitive people in this matter are insiders.
Many people don't believe it at first.
But soon the stars fell under the gavel, and the definite date was announced, that is, January 26, 09, the day of the Spring Festival!
In this regard, the first to react was the "Red Cliff" filmmaker.
Their first reaction was: Lu Ping'an, he shouldn't be specifically coming for us, right?
"Under the Red Cliff" will be released on January 15, and "Wonderful Night 2" will be released on January 26.
There are only 10 days left for "Under the Red Cliff"!
How much box office can you make in 10 days?
The key Spring Festival is still a cool file.
Lu Ping'an did this, his intention was simply too obvious.
So they were thinking about it very quickly.
Wu Yusen's hand of "carrying a sedan chair" is afraid that it will really provoke people.
Orange Sky then began to consider changing the schedule.
Although everyone has a lot of confidence in "Under the Red Cliff".
But no matter how confident you are, you won't be arrogant enough to fight in the ring with Lu Ping'an's movie.
How prestigious they are now!
John Woo is a younger brother in front of him.
But the idea of changing the schedule was quickly dismissed by John Woo angrily.
Because although Wu Yusen is not as safe as the road, he is also an international director.
Lu Ping'an's new movie is coming, his own family has just been set and directly changed the file, Wu Yusen doesn't want face?
Besides, "Under the Red Cliff" may not be able to beat "Wonderful Night 2"
After all, in the mainland market, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars still have the strongest appeal.
So it's definitely impossible to change gears.
After rejecting the proposal, John Woo also seems to be aware of the hostility of the mainland.
But he still didn't care, and even said directly: "The market needs healthy competition!" The mainland market needs to be more open and inclusive."
This is not said to journalists.
It was just an "internal discussion", and then somehow it went viral.
And then a lot of people on the Internet found out about it.
The argument went straight to the point.
It is said that the mainland is too xenophobic.
It is also said that it deserves it.
In short, there are all kinds of voices.
In the industry, it is directly divided into two factions.
That is, the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan are separated.
So it's big or small.
At worst, it's a simple war of competitive words.
At the big point, it's too big.
This is also the purpose of John Woo's side.
The mainland has to be scrupulous, right?
For a while, the industry smelled a strong smell of gunpowder.
