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

Chapter 197 Give a Silence

News about the box office of "Wonderful Night" appeared in the newspaper early the next morning.

In the future, "Wonderful Night" will be released for at least one month, and the industry is paying attention to whether it can exceed 3.6 million.

It's just that today, the hottest topic in the whole society is not Lu Ping'an, but Lao Mouzi.

On the 30th of BJ time, that is, at two o'clock in the morning this morning, at the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics, Lao Mouzi's 8-minute debut was completed.

Early in the morning, the Internet became lively. Some netizens said that Lao Mouzi's 8 minutes was a hodgepodge, and it was a mess. It felt like a series of transitions in the middle of the Spring Festival Gala.

Jasmine flowers, Tai Chi, Peking Opera performances, and 28 children walking on stilts and carrying lanterns are all manifestations of Chinese characteristics, but they are similar to the elements used in the film of Lao Mouzi's Olympic bid and lack of new ideas.

And the 14 "Olympic Babies" who appeared in red and green cheongsam short skirts are not only suspected of plagiarizing the Twelve Women's Band, but also dance and sing on the stage with their miniskirts showing their thighs. funny.

Celebrities from all walks of life also joined in the denunciation. A well-known film critic Cheng Qingsong criticized: This is 8 minutes without connotation and imagination. Appeared, the performance style was scattered, incompatible with the warm style presented by the closing ceremony in Athens, and the selected program had nothing to do with the Olympic spirit, and failed to reflect the theme of "Welcome the world to BJ"
Just like the original time and space, there was a lot of scolding.

In Lao Mouzi's later words: "In these 8 minutes, the occasions, levels, people and times of scolding are quite a lot, quite high."

The reporters also interviewed many people from the show business and sports circles at the first time.

Everyone's feelings can be roughly divided into three categories.

There are those who maintain it, saying that Lao Mouzi has exported Chinese characteristics, which is very good.

Some people disdain or even ridicule, saying that 8 minutes is meaningless, because it is a little more lively.

There are also more pertinent ones, saying that it only takes 8 minutes, and it is not bad to be able to do this.

In fact, there are still many people who know how difficult it is to complete a big job in 8 minutes.

Many people also realize that there are many differences between viewing Chinese culture from a Chinese perspective and a foreigner’s perspective.

However, the overall reputation of the society is poor, which has become a consensus.

So Lao Mouzi's word-of-mouth dropped again after "House of Flying Daggers", and he reached the trough of his life.

And from Lu Ping'an's point of view, he didn't actually have much pleasure in eating melons.

He didn't have a big opinion on Lao Mouzi, especially Lao Mouzi before 08.

The most important thing is that for him who knows the deep-seated reasons, it is true that Athens is not good for 8 minutes.

There are various restrictions in Athens, such as restricting programs and restricting performance equipment, all kinds of monsters.

To be honest, under such conditions, Lao Mouzi's ability to produce a program that is well received by foreigners is already very good.

It's a pity that there seem to be very few Chinese who question foreigners in this era.

Just like all the comments on the Internet now, no netizen guessed even one sentence: whether the Athens side was obstructing it.

It's not a question of how well you can do without limits.

It's a mentality issue.

People generally look up to foreigners, and generally think that fairness and justice are the labels of the Western world.

Naturally, Lu Pingan, who came from 2023, would feel a little out of place.

Although he did make use of this mentality and ethos to earn a lot of dividends.

But things have to be looked at separately and cannot be generalized.

Just thinking about it, Hu Qingquan called:
"Did you read it in 8 minutes?"

"Looked."

"how do you feel?"

"It's not bad, it should have quite an impact on foreigners."

"Well, think about how you want to evaluate."

"How to say?"

"You have also been to a meeting, and you have conflicts with the new images. Many people think that you have conflicts with Lao Mouzi. The reporters will not let you go, and you will always be caught by the reporters, right? Prepare well How do you evaluate it, don't be impulsive, you are in a different position now, and your words carry weight, so be careful."

"alright."

Hu Qingquan was right.

Lu Pingan won the No. [-] box office in film history. This kind of achievement will naturally raise Lu Pingan's status to a very high level now that commercial films have been recognized.

Some people have said on the Internet why Lu Pingan is not allowed to guide.

Under the influence of the halo of super high box office, what he said now is like the "golden rule" to a certain extent.

So how to evaluate 8 minutes, although it is far from the point where the final decision can be made, compared with ordinary celebrities, his evaluation will have more reference significance in the eyes of the public, and it will also have a certain degree of influence on Lao Mouzi.

So how to say, really have to prepare well.

After thinking for a while, Lu Pingan had an answer.

A few days later, Nortel started school, and Lu Pingan, who stayed at home for a few days, finally went out because the school started.

The outside world is still discussing about 8 minutes, and the situation is still not friendly to Lao Mouzi.

Lao Mouzi still didn't come out to speak.

After Lu Pingan came to the school, he wanted to keep a low profile, but he was still caught by the reporter.

The old nonsense is right, it cannot be avoided.

Which paparazzi is willing to give up such a big achievement of Lu Pingan?

Soon a reporter asked: "What do you think of the 8 minutes in Athens?"

As soon as these words came out, gossip flashed in the eyes of several reporters present, as well as the surrounding freshmen, Nortel students, and teachers.

Lu Pingan didn't have to answer either.

But he still gave a silence:
"I watched the 8-minute video. I think the effect of the program can complete the set task. I also noticed that many people criticized it. I think there is one point that everyone seems to have not mentioned. That is why Athens only gave the seven-meter multiplier. A platform as small as seven meters? Why does the program presented by such a large team as Director Zhang appear to you to be so scattered? Are there many undisclosed secrets in it? We are promoting the BJ Olympic Games at home in Athens, is the other party Will you really cooperate fully as you think? Can Dao Zhang's team really achieve creative freedom in Athens?"

"That's food for thought, my friends."

After speaking, Lu Pingan left without looking back.

The people present were lost in thought.

Lu Ping'an's answer was indeed very different from other people's evaluation at the moment.

Lu Pingan did not target Lao Mouzi, but questioned Athens.

Viewing angle is a bit high.

But this courage is too big!

Everyone has their own thoughts, and the evaluation of Road Ping An in the future may also cause a certain degree of influence.

But Lu Pingan didn't care.

He really didn't have to answer.

But he just wasn't having a good time.

At that moment, the "low-key" was left behind.

Fortunately, what he said were interrogative sentences, not affirmative sentences.

It is not only Lao Mouzi who is protecting, but a larger level.

So it won't have any serious impact.

Now that it's over, he feels relieved.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Ping'an's "doubt" was reported on the Internet.

It immediately sparked discussions among countless netizens.

Everyone is evaluating whether the program is good or bad, but few people look at 8 minutes from this perspective.

Lu Ping'an became the one with a clear mind.

Some people don't believe it, but there are also many people who believe it.

This is enough.

"Opinion leader" belongs to yes.
Discussion continues.

Lu Pingan didn't care.

I don't care about it either.

I have enough leisurely mind, and I can still control it in the end.

The biggest task for him now is to get the next movie done.
