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

Chapter 180 How should you deal with it?
After more than an hour, the movie ends.

"Is the movie good?"

"It's very beautiful. If you don't look at the back, you will never think that the murderer is the heroine's best friend!"

Shu Chang's expression was still unfinished, and he asked again immediately, "Qi Qian, you said that this movie was originally shot in China?"

Liu Qianqian nodded: "Yes, I heard Brother Pingan said so."

"That's a pity. If it's filmed in China, you will be the protagonist, and I will be that vicious best friend. It's great that we two swords match each other."

"It's a beautiful idea."

The two little girls chatted about movies all the way, and followed the flow of people to the next destination.

The three-day box office of "Happy Death Day" is also released soon.

1400 million nationwide.

Not particularly high, but definitely not low either.

It is a data that slightly exceeds expectations.

Relevant media have also given the final box office forecast, which is probably around 3500 million to 4500 million. Among them, the biggest obstacle to the box office is that "House of Flying Daggers" will be released in more than two weeks, and "The Day of Death" will be on its way I'm afraid it will be terminated.

Among the box office data, the box office data of the 43 planetary theaters in Lu Pingan's hands are about 20 points higher than the rest of the theaters.

There is a new movie theater opening here, and the drainage effect formed by the ticket price promotion.

In addition, it is difficult to say whether other theaters have concealed the box office.

And this kind of thing is already a chronic disease in the industry, especially when encountering this kind of imported films that are not particularly valued.

Lu Pingan didn't mean to wave the flag and shout to fight against it.

If you can't do it, just let nature take its course.

And anyway, he is already a theater company now, and compared to other producers, his losses are already small enough.

In addition to concealment by theaters, piracy is also a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

"The Day of Death" already has discs on the market. Although the hit has been heavy during this period, it will still affect the box office to some extent.

Therefore, although "The Day of Death" is not enough to watch compared to "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Troy" with a box office of 8000 million, no one thinks it is not good, and everyone thinks that it is very good to get this score.

The box office of "The Day of Death" was released on the [-]rd day, and the online evaluations were also released one after another.

There are good and bad, generally good reviews.

After all, this is a blockbuster movie that made Lu Pingan change his fate against the sky in Hollywood and won a global box office of 1.15 million US dollars.

Foreigners love to watch it, so where can it go?

Moreover, the quality of the film is indeed not bad, and it also has a strong feature of Lu Ping'an's brain hole.

In addition to the amazing reversal, Lu Pingan's control of comedy elements has also been recognized to a certain extent.

This also made people who doubted at the beginning no longer doubt whether Lu Pingan can handle comedy.

Because of this, everyone's expectations for "Wonderful Night" are even higher.

Of course, many people feel that Lu Ping'an's level has dropped a lot.

After all, compared with Lu Ping An's previous movies, "The Day of Death" had the lowest rating, only 7.4.

However, such doubts were quickly suppressed.

Because the next day, "Hunger Platform" started painting.

. . . . . .

It is still the No. [-] store of Planet Cinema.

Today Jiang Wen brought Duan Long, Yan Ni, Luo Jingmin and others here for the premiere road show.

As a new theater, in addition to profit sharing and promotion, letting film crews come to hold activities is also a means of publicity.

The main creators of "Death Day" couldn't come, so "Hunger Platform" would naturally be the first client.

Jiang Wen appeared as Lu Pingan's friend at this time.

Lu Ping'an was filming in London, and Hu Qingquan followed. There was no one behind, so Jiang Wen, as a teacher, naturally had to help watch.

This is what Jiang Wen told the reporters.

However, everyone in the industry knows that Jiang Wen is also one of the creators, but this identity cannot be revealed.

But this also makes people guess whether the style of the movie is Jiang Wen or Lu Pingan.

On this point, Jiang Wen said directly:

"That day, Ping An told me that there was a script that I wanted to be a staff member, so I had to change it. As a result, it took me a whole month to get the script and I couldn't figure out where I could change it. It's not that the script has no shortcomings, on the contrary. It is because of these shortcomings that the film generally presents an extremely balanced state."

The reporter asked: "Then you really didn't change at all in the end?"

"changed."

Jiang Wen smiled and said, "Corrected the typo."

The crowd laughed.

At the same time, it also raised high enough expectations for the movie.

Soon, after the main actors interact, the movie begins.

A few hours later, various film reviews about "The Hunger Platform" were posted online.

"Jiang Wen can't change the script."

"Explicit, indeed too explicit!"

"It will be banned at any time, go and see it!"

"It's a shame the film didn't win an award."

One of the most popular topics is:

"Lu Ping An's largest movie so far!"

Netizens clicked in and read the content of the article with some spoilers. Although they were disappointed and felt that it was different from what they thought, it also brought more curiosity to the movie.

How much this will add to the film's box office is unclear.

Lu Pingan didn't pay much attention to this either.

What he fancy is "rating".

The score of "Hunger Platform" came out the next day.

8.4 points.

After learning the result, Lu Pingan smiled.

In fact, his expectation for "The Day of Death" and "The Hunger Platform" is more about the online rating than the movie box office.

Lu Pingan didn't think that the box office of "Death Day" and "Hunger Platform" could reach an unbelievable level.

Both films have their limitations.

The former was released too late, and there are already discs.

The latter is not very commercial, and it is more attractive to moviegoers.

So it is obviously unrealistic to rely on them to cut the box office of "House of Flying Daggers".

But the box office is not good, word of mouth is still good.

Killing and killing one's heart are indispensable.

So a movie scoring program similar to Douban came into being.

This is to prepare for the Douban website that Lu Pingan will establish next.

Before the domestic movie rating website came out, the public did not actually have a specific reference object for whether a movie was good or bad.

Many authoritative film critics have the final say.

If the "big Vs and experts" say yes, then it's really good. It doesn't matter what the public thinks. The public's movie aesthetics can count?

And more often than not, authoritative film critics have different opinions, and it is difficult for the public to have an intuitive and unified concept.

So the emergence of Douban has indeed broken this monopoly to a certain extent.

This is what Lu Pingan has to do now.

A few months ago, he dispatched a group and asked them to post on Tianya as a third party, make detailed evaluations and interact with movie fans, score current movies and collect movie reviews.

This is the simplified version of Douban.

It is also because of this that the scores scored by countless netizens are extraordinarily fair.

In the past few months, there have been few disagreements among the films that participated in the scoring, and the scores are basically "recognized".

With authority, fans will recognize this even more.

Whether this kind of unprofitable operation can work in the end, Lu Pingan will not have naive ideas such as changing the movie environment, after all, the original space-time Douban can't do it.

Therefore, his first goal should only be to open up a new industry for himself.

It doesn't even matter how much money the industry can make him.

The important thing is that he has to have such a public opinion position.

Of course, since this is done, it will definitely have some effect in public opinion.

No, as the number of participants increases and fairness is increasingly recognized, soon some netizens expect to say how many ratings "House of Flying Daggers" will have. It must be no problem to exceed the hero's 6.8 points, right?
In this regard, Lu Pingan himself was sweating for Zhang Weiping and Lao Mouzi.

Since May, the ratings of various domestic blockbusters have been very good.

The average score of "Lord of the Rings 3" Tianya in March was 3.

April's "The Day After Tomorrow" scored 4 points.

"Troy" at the end of May scored 5 points.

June "Happy Death Day".

The original time and space only scored 7 points, but with the addition of Lu Ping An and the super high box office, coupled with the advanced nature of the subject matter, the score of "Happy Death Day" has reached 7.4 points.

This rating is at the bottom of all Lu Ping An's movies.

Therefore, Lu Pingan was scolded by some netizens and film critics.

But soon "Hunger Platform" came out.

The score of the original time and space movie is not bad, 7.9 points.

Now it is still because the film has surpassed and advanced the subject matter, and the film score has reached 8.4 points.

This is the same rating given by Goldfinger.

A movie with a score of 8.4 can be regarded as a masterpiece.

And because of the "explicit" content of the film, it is favored by a kind of self-proclaimed high-sighted film critics.

Overall, none of these movies scored below 7 points.

So what about House of Flying Daggers?

Original time and space "House of Flying Daggers" Douban score was only 5 points at the beginning!
After more than ten years, it gradually rose to 6.5 points.

Therefore, among the good movies with a score of 7 or even 8 or above, the first is the top.

What will fans look like after seeing the movie?
How to deal with "House of Flying Daggers" then?
How much bonus will this bring to the next release, which has a score of 7.7 in the original time and space, and now Goldfinger has given a score of 8.5 to the new version of "Night at the Museum"?
Lu Pingan expressed his expectation.
