China Entertainment: The happiness of being a director is as simple as that

Chapter 158 This Is Really Unexpected

As soon as the news came out, the first thing it attracted was the attention of netizens.

Everyone saw the title and called it a good guy.

If nothing else, just mentioning the label "Sino-US co-production" would be a big deal.

It is not a small news that China and Laomei are going to co-produce a movie.

Besides, it's Batman!

What is Batman, most young people who can surf the Internet these days know a thing or two.

This is a famous movie role in the old America.

Several Batman movies have been introduced to the mainland before, either on TV or on discs.

It can be said that apart from Spiderman and the familiar Superman, the most familiar old American superhero to the Chinese people is Batman.

Therefore, Batman can actually be co-produced by China and the United States, which aroused the excitement and suspicion of countless people.

Everyone click in to see the news content.

There is not much revealed in it, but the relevant information is also very shocking.

The production cost was $1.2 million!
The location will be filmed in the mainland, and the location will be used as the travel experience of the protagonist before becoming Batman.

The mainland production team will participate in the production, and some mainland faces will appear.

The shooting time is roughly within a few months.

Starring Bell, Morgan Freeman
As for which unit to co-produced with and did not say.

But that information is enough for discussion.

"Morgan Freeman, I like this actor the most."

"It's fake, how could "Batman" be co-produced by China and the United States?"

"1.2 million US dollars, nearly 10 billion yuan, my God!"

"This production cost is top-notch in Hollywood."

"There are Chinese actors participating, who will it be?"

"Maybe it's just a rumor"

The atmosphere of this year is similar to that of a few years ago, but any good thing involving foreign countries, especially Laomei, can cause a climax.

So when the news of the co-production came out, although there were still many doubts on the Internet, most of them were excited.

Even the voice of doubt is mixed with "worries", for fear that the news is fake.

The Internet is like this, and the reality is similar, especially for domestic entertainment, the words "there will be mainland faces" are like depth bombs that directly detonate the entire domestic entertainment pool.

Such a big Hollywood blockbuster, to be able to show his face, that's awesome!
Some actors are thinking, if I can cooperate with Morgan Freeman, tsk tsk tsk.
Of course, it is more important to get in touch with the relevant media and verify it as soon as possible.

All kinds of nonsense questions.

If you have a way, ask China Film Group directly.

Co-productions basically have to go through China Film, so it is definitely right to ask them.

As a result, China Film Group replied: "The news is true, and it is currently in the stage of inspecting the venue."

As for who will co-produce, China Film has not said yet, because it needs to cooperate with Fengfeng's promotion.

In fact, it is useless to say that the project was originally supported by the Dingfeng family.

There is no such thing as the fact that it was so well-timed later.

At present, the so-called co-productions in China are only "co-productions", so the only cooperative unit is China Film Group.

As for who the project investor is and who the director is.

The former can be said or not, and because the relationship between this film is complicated, everyone will not know that it is a project operated by Lu Ping An. Unless Warner Bros. makes it public in the future, Lu Ping An will not reveal it, at least not now.

Lu Ping'an has not disclosed the latter's words for the time being, so if you pay attention to the old American media, you can only know that the director is Nolan.

In a few days, the summit will officially announce the lineup of Batman, including the director. Naturally, the mainland side cannot miss it first.

But this still makes the industry boil instantly.

If everyone remembers correctly, this co-production will be the most costly in the history of domestic co-productions.

What does this mean? Does it mean to a certain extent that the status of Chinese films in the world has improved a lot?Let's imagine again, isn't the status of the country much higher?
So the next day, all kinds of media joined in the report, and even many non-entertainment media participated in the report.

Immediately, the mainland and even Hong Kong and Taiwan paid attention to the news the next day.

Everyone is very curious about this kind of project and wants to know more about it.

Many people from Lu Ping'an's side called, saying that you are not a director in Hollywood, is there any news?

As soon as the phone call comes, there are many.

The same is true for Zhang Weiping. As one of the leading figures in the mainland film industry, he received many phone calls early in the morning asking for news, but how could he know.

He couldn't help frowning.

Quietly, suddenly there is a co-production project, and it's so big, it's too abnormal.

So he immediately called China Film Group.

According to intelligence, Batman is currently inspecting the setting and location of the film in China.

The domestic person in charge is Han Sanpin.

Studios are the pinnacle.

He knows at the top, Lu Pingan is hanging around at the top right now.

However, he didn't think this project would have much to do with Lu Ping'an.

Because Zenith rented the Batman IP from Warner before, and the director appointed Nolan, this matter was reported in the newspapers.

And the latest news about Lu Pingan in Hollywood is that his new low-budget horror film "Latent" has finished filming and is scheduled for March.

According to common sense, Lu Ping'an is now at a critical point in his career, and he is unlikely to participate in this kind of project. Even if he could, the director has already appointed someone, so he has no chance.

So to sum it up, he thinks that Ping An in this project is at most a matchmaker.Even he is a messenger, and Han Sanpin is the one who connects.

So he figured out a rough idea.

That is, it is possible that after Han Sanpin knew that Dingfeng had rented the IP, he suggested that Dingfeng let Batman come to China to shoot scenes, which would save money and open up the domestic market.

It's not that there is no connection between China Film and Dingfeng. Lu Ping'an's films have cooperated many times in terms of copyright, and China Film has participated in it, and Lu Ping'an has made a lot of money for Dingfeng. This small suggestion will not be a big problem if accepted. .

So once they come and go, both parties have needs, and the cooperation is reached.

As soon as Zhang Weiping rolled his eyes, he felt that things were inseparable.

So if that's the case, it's something to play with.

As Zhang Weiping, who is omniscient in marketing and considers himself the number one in China at the moment.

How could it be possible to let go of this promotional opportunity?
He quickly thought that if Lao Mouzi could meet with the director of Batman, have a meal, and then let people see the set of "House of Flying Daggers" and say a few nice words.

This is a huge publicity point.

If we can still talk about the director of the mainland part of the film, this is another huge publicity point.

As for the question of whether or not Lao Mouzi will lose his reputation if he posts it.

If the other party is a Hong Kong and Taiwan crew, then of course they wouldn't do this.

But this is Hollywood!

Which mainland director doesn't want to enter Hollywood?
Who are mainland directors who have made a splash in Hollywood?

Oh, Ping An is.

But no reference value.

Lu Ping'an made a horror movie, it's not popular!
Compared with this kind of big-budget movie with high global attention, his achievements are not worth mentioning at all!
And doing so can make Lu Pingan feel disgusted.

He pulls the string, and we pick the fruit.

At that time, it will be clear at a glance who is strong and who is weak.

Of course, in his opinion, there is no need for Lao Mouzi to compare with Lu Pingan.

But if this wave of operations is successful, Lao Mouzi may be able to break into Hollywood completely, and he will also successfully enter Hollywood. Who in the mainland industry can resist this kind of temptation?
So he immediately dialed the phone: "You said that the director named Nolan and the producer from the summit will come to China in a few days, right?"

On the other side, China Film asked Han Sanpin, and Han Sanpin told Lu Pingan with twitching corners of his mouth, and then it was Lu Pingan's turn to twitch.

Zhang Weiping actually wanted to invite himself and Hu Qingquan to dinner?
Lu Pingan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Originally, he just wanted to use "Batman" to hit the heat first, suppress "House of Flying Daggers", and then disclose that he is a director, and promote himself as a director among mainland movie fans, and then promote "Wonderful Night" .

In this way, the publicity effect is much better than just releasing the information of "Wonderful Night".

But I didn't expect that it was just the first wave of simple publicity, and it would actually catch fish.

This is really what he didn't expect.

So, do you want to mess with him?
