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

Chapter 160 What is the difference between being a traitor?
That afternoon, the portal released the news that Nolan had visited the crew of "House of Flying Daggers".

Nolan, as the director of "Batman" that is considered by the public at the moment, has an intersection with Lao Mouzi, which immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

But what attracted everyone's attention was Zhang Weiping's evaluation of Lu Ping'an.

"No inflow" "There is a gap" and so on.

It made many Lupingan fans very unhappy.

However, most people who eat melons still agree with Zhang Weiping's evaluation in their hearts.

After all, Lao Mouzi has more mass foundation than Lu Pingan, even if "Hero" has a bad reputation, it will have little effect on Lao Mouzi, who has a thick bloodline.

Coupled with the fact that Lao Mouzi has become the director of Athens for 8 minutes next year, the bloodline is even thicker.

Now Hollywood directors are visiting again.

In fact, Zhang Weiping's strategy was quite successful.

In many people's minds, Lao Mouzi is indeed several grades higher than Lu Pingan.

Of course, in addition to the evaluation itself, the reporters and the media also paid more attention to the conflict between Zhang Weiping and Lu Pingan.

As early as when "Hero" and "Source Code" were released, everyone had already paid attention to the contradiction between the two.

But later, under pressure from above, Lu Pingan and Lao Mouzi met in private, and they also looked like hello and me, so this topic was left alone.

Later, Lu Pingan achieved success in Hollywood, and Zhang Weiping publicly dissed Lu Pingan as "not popular".

This brought the conflict between the two to the surface again.

But this topic was still not magnified, because Lu Pingan didn't respond.

But now it's different, Zhang Weiping mentioned it again and again, it's hard not to let people pay attention to how deep the conflict between the two is.

So the various media began to report.

There is discussion that Lao Mouzi participated in the filming.

There was a discussion about Lu Ping'an's level.

There is also a large part of the discussion of the ins and outs of the conflict between Zhang Weiping and Lu Pingan.

There are many talented people online.

Details will be released soon.

Then many netizens knew that the conflict between the two had existed since "Source Code" was released.

"Source Code" was released, and the box office became popular all the way, and "Hero" began to block.
In this regard, online comments were quickly overwhelming:
""Hero" is not as good as "Source Code", how dare he block it?"

""Hero" is rubbish. At that time, I only listened to his hype. After watching it, I regret it to this day."

"Lu Pingan never responded, only Zhang Weiping jumped there."

"In Hollywood, with a small cost, it won over [-] million box office, and it was done twice. Does Zhang Weiping still say that this is not on the table?"

"That's right, "Source Code" has such a high global box office, it's actually not popular in his eyes."

"Zhang Weiping has a problem with his character."

The Internet is full of noise.

I don't know if there is a navy, anyway, Lu Pingan will not admit it.

In reality, the sound is not loud.

After all, the matter hasn't become serious yet, it's just that the conflict between the two has been made public.

Of course, journalists have also begun to interview people from all walks of life in the industry.

This kind of melon, as long as the top is not pressed down, it will be a feast for reporters.

But just when the incident started to ferment, various reporters suddenly received invitations to the press conference from Xingchen Film and Television.

The reporters were very excited. Everyone guessed that Lu Pingan was going to respond positively!

Good melon, big melon, I have to hurry up and eat a few bites!

For a time, countless reporters gathered at Xingchen Film and Television.

However, when the press conference started, all the reporters were dumbfounded.

I saw Batman director Nolan and Lu Ping'an appearing together, with Hu Qingquan, China Film Han Sanpin and a foreigner whom he didn't know.

Everyone was stunned, what's going on?
Without waiting to think about it, Hu Qingquan first introduced.

In addition to the acquaintances, the last strange foreigner was also revealed: the boss of the summit, Watzberg.

Then Hu Qingquan talked about the main topic: "Everyone is invited to come, because I want to announce that the director of "Batman" this time will be Lu Pingan."

With a bang, the whole scene exploded.

. . . . . . .

Lu Pingan: "How did you become a director? Let me introduce myself. I was filming in the United States at the time. I saw Batman in my spare time and got inspired. Batman is a very popular movie image in the United States. This character has some similarities with myself. , it’s also empathy for the death of both parents, and this is not a new character, so it will be much easier to create, and then there will be a trilogy of scripts.”

"At the beginning, I didn't plan to implement the script, because the IP of Batman was in Warner, and the project was too big, I couldn't play it, but the boss of the summit, Watzberg, decided to support it on the spot after reading my script, and then After negotiating with Warner, and finally successfully renting the IP, I also became a producer and director."

Reporter: "You mean, this is a trilogy, that is, more than one movie?"

Lu Pingan: "Yes, it's a trilogy, this is the first one."

Wattsberg: "Will all three films be filmed? If the first film is successful, of course I will continue to film the next one. I believe Lu can handle it perfectly."

Lu Pingan: "Are you confident? Of course, no matter when, I never lose confidence in my works."

Hu Qingquan: "How many Chinese elements will be added to this co-production? I know what you want, such as changing the protagonist to a Chinese or one of his parents is from China, or putting him in the place where he fights in China. In short, it is Batman at least." It’s a good idea to have Chinese blood, or at least the movie to be made in China, but it’s not realistic for this movie.”

"A super IP like Batman, there are many restrictions in any adaptation, and this time is no exception. There are many restrictions, and you can't change it randomly. If you break the contract, you have to pay a lot of money."

"If you think about it from another angle, you will understand. If Mr. Wu Chengen is still alive and holds the copyright of Journey to the West in his hand, will he make people blindly change Tang Seng as a woman?"

"So this time only some domestic elements will appear, and there will not be any important roles for domestic actors in terms of actors."

Han Sanpin: "Actually, the meaning of co-production is not just the emergence of domestic elements. Besides this, there are more valuable things, such as cooperation in behind-the-scenes production. We all know that the Hollywood film industry is advanced and high-level, especially in big movies. In terms of production, we are far behind them, and at the same time, there are very few opportunities for domestic practitioners to participate in and learn deeply, because the threshold is too high."

Hu Qingquan: "Yes, so this co-production is a good learning opportunity. In this co-production, in addition to Xingchen Film and Television, Nortel and Beijing Film Studio will participate in the production of the film. I believe that after deeply participating in a major Hollywood production , can cultivate some behind-the-scenes talents with an international perspective, and lay a solid foundation for future domestic commercial films."

Several people on the stage answered the questions carefully, full of information, sincere and professional.

Although this co-production is not the same as imagined.

But everyone was not disappointed. After all, the current co-production mode is indeed the same as what Lu Pingan said, and it is the most in-depth form of cooperation at present.

Of course, there is more excitement than that.

Lu Pingan suddenly became the director of Batman, the chief director, he can control the project.

This is a huge progress for the Chinese people!

In addition, the fact that Lu Ping'an became the director also involved Zhang Weiping's statement in the morning.

This is another big hit.

So soon a reporter asked: "What do you think of the evaluation of you by Zhang Weiping, chairman of New Picture?"

After hearing this, Lu Pingan showed regret:

"I read the news and I'm disappointed."

"I think he, as the chairman of a top domestic film and television company, shouldn't have said such a thing, but after thinking about it, I think it's normal for him to say such a thing, because from his attitude towards movies Look, I think he doesn't understand movies at all, he only knows how to hype, no matter whether the movie is good or bad, he will only keep on hyping, and he will use all kinds of hype, for the effect of hype, for his own interests, even He will not hesitate to belittle his compatriots."

"I just want to ask, you use foreign directors to subsidize yourself and belittle your domestic counterparts at the same time. Does Director Zhang agree with you to do this? If this method is used during the Anti-Japanese War, how is it different from traitors?"

After speaking, the reporters were excited on the spot.

They love this gunpowder-flavored counterattack so much!
That night, the news was published on major portals.

"Big reversal! The director of "Batman" is actually him!"

"Lu Pingan is not popular? Hollywood tells you their real choice!"

"Lu Ping'an: Zhang Weiping is a traitor!"

"Does Zhang Weiping understand movies?"

"Zhang Weiping's character overturned"
