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

Chapter 578: Rise, rise, rise, rise to the richest man!

Lu Pingan was showered. While happy, he was also a little surprised by this result.

This is twice as good as the original time and space results!

The original "Iron Man 1" only reached over million in its first week.

But think about it now that Disney has such strong channel support.

With his own brand, this result is understandable.

But this is nothing to be happy about.

After all, this result is more than 2 million worse than the three-day result of "Transformers ".

Lu Pingan feels that when "Iron Man 2 or 3" is released, it may really surpass the "Transformers" series.

Of course, the current results are indeed worthy of happiness.

This not only represents the arrival of huge wealth, but also represents Lu Ping'an's rising reputation in Marvel.

There is a problem with the selection of films. Li An's The Incredible Hulk is first, and this one can easily become a "sequel".

It's just that Marvel didn't accept it at that time, or strictly speaking, they weren't sure who to listen to. After all, they didn't have much experience in film and television production.

Everyone in Marvel actually has different ideas on this.

But "The Incredible Hulk" was mentioned during the production stage before its release.

This idea is consistent with the direction of Marvel's original plan, but the order of the movies will be different.

Lu Ping'an showed the composure of a great director as always: "This is just the beginning. The journey ahead is still long. I hope I can continue to work hard with everyone."

"Captain America" ​​was mentioned after it was released. It's an afterthought and doesn't count.

However, most people at the scene felt that this situation was probably unlikely to happen.

It’s fine if you want to do a dark style, but you have to delve into human nature and society.

And the order before and after is really the most critical point.

As for what to do in the future, Lu Ping An and the president of Marvel have had many conversations in the past few days.

Everyone responded in unison.

In fact, Ping An Lu had expressed opinions on the two original Marvel movies.

In this way, it should be no problem for him to control future superhero movies about Chinese culture.

After a carnival, everyone sat down and started the meeting, all wet.

Who makes way? Ping An is so awesome.

For now, just have fun.

But it's still early days, so take your time.

As a result, after "The Incredible Hulk" came out, various reviews were the same as what Lu Pingan thought at the beginning.

But now that Lu Pingan has put forward his idea, everyone will stop arguing and just listen to Lu Pingan, unless they encounter another failure in the future.

It's nothing more than the later Marvel Universe plan.

As a result, "The Incredible Hulk" didn't do it.

In terms of fighting, "The Incredible Hulk" is passable, but there is a problem with the casting.

Lu Ping'an said at the time that he couldn't choose a big name, but it turned out to be true.

Later, on the set of "The Incredible Hulk", the lead actor Norton had a conflict with the producer, saying that there must be more drama.

Marvel, on the other hand, became timid because of the failure of "Captain America". And because it had little experience, it did not have a clear and firm attitude towards Norton's requirements.

This made "The Incredible Hulk" very awkward.

Dark, but not deep.

The fighting scenes are good, but there are too few, and the literary scenes are not enough. It seems rushed, making the movie a sequel to Li An's "The Incredible Hulk" in the eyes of movie fans.

A movie like this will fail the American audience if it doesn't hit the streets.

Thinking about it now, what Lu Ping'an said at that time was indeed correct!

It’s just that no one paid too much attention to it at that time.

So the subsequent "The Incredible Hulk" still had no changes, and then it rushed to the street.

Now look at "Iron Man 1" and it's a big hit.

Everyone patted their chests and thought, okay, okay, okay, luckily they didn't refuse Lu Ping'an's request to buy shares. Everyone recalled the suggestions they made when Lu Pingan was filming "Iron Man".

For example, "Why not make the story deeper?" "Why must Robert Downey Jr. be cast?" "Why should the war background be changed?" "Why..." and other questions.

At that time, I was somewhat worried and questioning.

But think about it now.

Well, is that worry and doubt?

That’s asking for advice!

Lu Pingan is indeed a master director!

After the meeting, Lu Ping An left Marvel and went back to the hotel to take a shower, and then continued to run road shows.

The three-day box office hit is just the beginning, and we still have to work hard next.

After all, for him, the gambling agreement can only be completed if the box office exceeds 8 million.

So you should run more.

And then, because there were not many strong enemies in North America throughout August, "Iron Man 8" was close to being a massacre in the market.

Four days later, the weekly box office results of "Iron Man 1" were released.

$2.36 million, not breaking any records.

However, the double success of word-of-mouth and box office has made everyone believe that Marvel's resurrection is no longer a problem.

Another week later, North American box office growth declined, but it still steadily exceeded 3.5 million.

This result still does not break any weekly box office records for "superhero movies" and "North American local movies".

But "Iron Man 1" has clearly become a phenomenon.

Because there are many topics about Marvel, the protagonist Robert Downey Jr., Ping An Lu, and everything in between.

Plus the movie itself is really excellent.

For a time, some media even commented: This August is all about Iron Man.

What follows is that the topic of "Marvel's resurrection" has been hyped up by the guys on Wall Street.

The people on Wall Street are extremely proud at this time.

Originally, they wanted to use this topic to lower the stock price.

Now, the movie is actually... no, the movie is as good as everyone expected. Now it has blossomed and borne fruit, so as much as it was criticized and suppressed at the beginning, it is now praised as much as it was.

Who can have trouble with money?

For a time, Marvel’s valuation soared.

And because Disney has already acquired Marvel, Disney’s stock has soared.

As the top producer, the stock price naturally rises with the wind.

August 8 is here, the first trading day of another week.

The peak opened higher again.

The stock price has also gone from 7.43 two weeks ago to $16.6 today!

Lu Ping An's net worth has doubled as a result.

At the same time, Lu Ping'an also gained a fortune.

That is the "Iron Man Villa" that originally cost $1100 million to build.

Now because of the popularity of the movie, many wealthy people have expressed their desire to buy it. Lu Ping An directly offered 5000 million, but several people still expressed their intention to compete.

Of course, Lu Ping An will not let go of this profit. After all, CG is used during filming. This villa will also be withdrawn in the future. Just keep the filming contract, so sell it when you need to. There is nothing to hesitate.

Summit’s stock price has soared, and Xingchen’s stock price is also rising.

Because at this time, the global box office of Xingchen's two movies has exceeded 5 million US dollars.

Among them, "Kung Fu Panda 2" has been released for a month and a half, with a revenue of 7.3 million yuan in the mainland. It has been released in other parts of the world and has now accumulated a total of 4.6 million yuan, exceeding expectations.

Not to mention "Iron Man 1".

Calculated in RMB.

The box office of the two movies exceeded 80 billion!

Who in the Mainland can copy it?

So on August 8th, Xingchen's stock price reached its highest point, exceeding 25 yuan per share!

Suddenly, Lu Pingan became the richest man in the country with a net worth of 460 billion!
