China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

"Take a break?"

In a boxing gym in Beijing, Wu Jing asked Lu Ping'an with a smile.

Lu Ping'an agreed directly without thinking: "Okay."

Then he took off his braces and collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.

After Guorong's party, Lu Pingan chatted with Wu Jing.

The most talked about topics are about action scenes in movies and TV series.

This involves the question of whether the action scenes of "Batman" should be improved.

While chatting, the two proposed to discuss matters after returning to the capital.

Lu Ping'an also has a "Basic Fighting" skill in his hand. He has never used this skill since he got it. Now is the time to try it out and test himself to see how high his martial arts level is.

But now, putting aside the level and so on, Lu Pingan only has one feeling, that is, what Guorong said at that time was not a lie.

Putting on protective gear and stepping onto the ring, my heart tightened.

Then there is only one word when typing: Tired!

This is under the premise that Wu Jing is not serious about it.

"Fighting seems simple, but in actual combat, it is much more difficult than what you see on TV. For ordinary people, a two-minute round can be tiring to death, let alone a five-minute round. My legs were filled with lead. By the third round, I had lost all my physical fitness. All my technical moves were messed up. If my willpower was no longer strong, I would be at the mercy of others. Lu Dao, you are pretty good. Your physical fitness is much stronger than the average person. If you do well, If you practice, you might be able to pursue a career path."

Wu Jing handed over the mineral water, and Lu Pingan took it. According to his skills and experience, he just took a small sip, and his thirst quickly dissipated.

After he recovered, he asked Wu Jing: "Are you so experienced in martial arts training?"

"Who hasn't been in the ring a few times?"

"Who can fight between you and Lian Jie?"

Wu Jing hesitated for a moment, then gave the answer with a smile: "Boxing is afraid of young people!"

"I'm also afraid of kitchen knives."

"Haha, yes, the best way to run away when in danger is to run away, so physical fitness is the first priority."

Wu Jing said with provocative eyes, "It's been five minutes. Have you recovered? Can you still do it?"

"Okay, why not, come on!"

Lu Pingan bit back his braces and the two continued.

More than an hour later, the two took a bath in a bathhouse in Beijing and continued to talk about action scenes.

Lu Ping'an actually discussed this topic with relevant professionals when he was filming "Wonderful Night" before.

It's just that there were very few action scenes in "Wonderful Night" at that time, and the difficulty was not high. The filming only took two days, so I didn't have an in-depth chat with the martial arts director at that time.

This time "Batman" will involve a lot of action design. Lu Pingping took this opportunity to discuss his ideas with Wu Jing, an action star.

After just one fight and two days of chatting, and knowing the deep relationship between Wu Zhi and the movie, Lu Pingan felt that there was no need to improve the action scenes in "Batman 1".

Just imagine, over there, a large group of police and thugs are fighting on the street, with guns and sticks intersecting, and rivers of blood flowing. The camera turns and Batman and the villain are duel. You kick the shadowless kick, and I use the Mizong Fist. Then put two hidden weapons, use the force to fly into the air, jump and chase on buildings and vehicles, flash and move around, fly and kick each other in the air

The fight is very enjoyable, but the audience will most likely not applaud and will only laugh.

Once Upon a Time style must not work.

So what about Zhen Bullet’s throw, Tony Jaa’s flying knee, and Steven Seagal’s old punch?

Although it is close enough to actual combat, for Batman, the caped hero, the costume itself already has a strong romantic element, which is a bit divorced from the foundation of realism and seems to be floating.

what to do?

So I would rather fight a little more clumsily to push the style back to the ground.

This is also the action scene that Nolan and he had talked about wanting.

It’s not that Nolan doesn’t know that China has the best action coaching in the world, but why not use it instead of using Chiss fighting skills to tailor-make Batman and show it with a designed clumsiness?

The more Lu Pingan thinks about it now, the more he feels that this is actually the power of Nolan.

If a trilogy wants to become an epic, it cannot pile up all the good things into it, overwhelm the focus, and dazzle it, otherwise it will be a mess.

To use another analogy, in addition to the action scenes of the Batman trilogy being criticized by some fans, Batman's equipment was also criticized.

Everyone feels that these equipments seem too ordinary. Compared with the Iron Man next door, it seems that the difference in worth between the two may be several Musks at a glance.

But if you look at the theme of the movie, it is easy to convince everyone that Batman is an ordinary person. As long as you have money, you can become Batman. In this way, Batman will be even more glorious.

So from the perspective of constructing an epic trilogy, there really isn't much room for improvement in the trilogy.

Of course, you still have to try what you need to try.

The great thing about Xiangjiang's martial arts director is that he knows how to cleverly change the martial arts style to match the realistic elements of the film.

In addition, the system can also score at any time.

Therefore, Lu Pingan still thinks that he can invite well-known martial arts teams to come in and give it a try.

If you can, keep it. If not, just stick to the original version.

So after taking a bath, Lu Ping'an finally sent an invitation to Wu Jing: "Jingzi, help me introduce a martial arts team that fits the style I said."

"no problem."

"If you have time, why don't you come to my crew to play?"

Wu Jing was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then tried her best to answer naturally: "Okay."

Lu Ping'an continued: "Let's make an agreement first. There may not be any big-faced characters, but if the action scenes require it, it's okay if you're willing to help."

"no problem!"

Wu Jing agreed directly.

To be honest, since the two talked last night, he already knows Lu Pingan's various ideas on the Batman action scene, but Lu Pingan has never mentioned inviting him, just discussing it.

Although Wu Jing did not reveal that kind of thoughts, he is still an ordinary person after all. Which mainland actor is not interested in Hollywood these days?

Especially for Wu Jing, who has encountered a big bottleneck in his career, he will definitely be excited if such a good thing happens.

So he had been looking forward to whether Lu Ping An would send out an invitation.

Now that Lu Ping'an had truly invited him, Wu Jing suddenly felt that the punches he had given him just now were not in vain, and the pain on the bones of his arms and calves immediately dissipated.

Of course, what made him even happier was that the two became friends.

Wu Jing suddenly felt that the future was very bright.

After taking a bath, Wu Jing thought about treating Lu Pingan to a meal in the evening.

But Lu Pingan refused: "I have something to do tonight, it's very important. I'll have a drink on the fifth day of the lunar new year."

"Okay, see you on the fifth day of the new year."

The two agreed to have New Year's greetings and dinner at Lu Ping'an's house on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and then left separately.

Back in the courtyard, Lu Ping'an entered the door and immediately locked it and bolted it to prevent someone with a key from getting in without saying hello.

Entering the room, Yan Danchen just opened the door.

"Oh, it scared me to death!"

Yan Danchen was startled, but Lu Ping'an's bright eyes had already shined.

At this time, Yan Danchen was wearing the costume of Chang'e in "Lotus Lantern".

Increase attack speed and critical hits.

How can you still bear it when you are wearing such a magical outfit?

Lu Pingan picked her up in his arms.

"Easy, it's just this costume."

The moonlight is beautiful tonight, no wonder Chang'e came to earth

. . . . . . .

After staying at home with Yan Danchen for a day, Yan Danchen got on the plane home at noon on the third day.

There are still two days until New Year's Eve. Yan Danchen will have to join the production of "Lotus Lantern" which will start shooting in Hengdian later in the year. Lu Ping'an will also start the production of "Batman" after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, so it will be a long time before we see each other again.

The same goes for Zeng Li. She will go home tomorrow and return to the Magic City crew on the fourth day of the new year.

Although the two have confirmed their relationship now, they have not seen each other since that snowy night kiss.

Lu Ping'an was very busy, so the two of them didn't make any more substantial progress. They only used phone calls and text messages to enhance their relationship.

However, Zeng Li deliberately stayed in the capital before going back today, so it would be a safe journey and he would not be surprised by the amorous feelings.

That night, Lu Ping'an and Zeng Li came to the cinema in disguise.

The two of them followed the routine of watching movies and eating like any other couple, and went through the process of being a couple.

The privacy of the cinema is guaranteed because it is Lu Ping'an's cinema and one of the eight cinemas he bought.

In the next year, this cinema will begin renovation and renovation, and the decoration style will be the same as that of the UME Cinema not far away.

UME Cinema is the most high-end cinema chain in China.

The decoration is luxurious, the service is in place, and all standards are in accordance with the old and beautiful.

This makes UME the first choice for many white-collar workers and foreigners to watch movies.

It is also because of this that Lu Ping An can easily purchase the current theater not far from it.

The idea of ​​Future Road Ping An is the same as that of UME. The decoration should be made taller and higher-end projection equipment should be put in.

In this way, theaters will be competitive.

Of course, he doesn't rely on this to make money. What he values ​​​​is the future development of this land and projection equipment.

Having said that, the theater was deserted tonight.

It's not just his family, it's almost like this across the country.

Because it’s approaching the end of the year, and there really aren’t any good movies right now.

Among the movies currently being screened, only "Mobile Phone" is relatively popular. It has been released for almost a month and the box office is about to reach 50 million.

There is also a movie that is very famous, "Eagle Girl" starring Yang Ziqiong, Ren Xianqi, and Li Binbin.

In the movie, Yang Ziqiong rode a motorcycle across the Great Wall, which was very hard. The cost of the movie was as high as 150 million Hong Kong dollars.

There was a lot of fanfare when the filming started, and the media called it the domestic version of "Batman." Now that Lu Ping'an is going to direct "Batman," the studio has brought this point up again a few days ago, and it is said that it has attracted a lot of attention.

But now that the movie is out, the plot and characters are a little hard to describe. In the end, the movie was a huge flop, with only 14 million in the mainland box office.

Halfway through the movie, Lu Ping'an and Zeng Li looked at each other, seeing the confusion in each other's eyes, and then simply left early.

However, this did not affect the mood of the two of them.

After watching the movie, the two went home and Zeng Li cooked. Her cooking skills were on par with Yan Danchen's, and relatively speaking, they were more in line with Lu Ping'an's taste because they weren't as spicy.

The two of them were eating and chatting, and the TV in the living room, which was rarely turned on, was also playing a program.

Zeng Li doesn't like watching TV, so the role of the TV today is to act as a buffer to ease the embarrassment that may arise.

Compared to movies, TV shows are much better.

"The Supreme Beauty", "Treasure Bowl", "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and so on.

As long as you change the channel, you will get a high-quality product in three steps and a classic in five steps.

The vitality of the TV drama market is much greater than that of movies.

Lu Ping'an didn't pay attention to this, and Zeng Li didn't pay attention either.

Now the two of them are just worried, why are their pants tied in a tight knot?

After a while of busy work, Lu Pingan finally untied the knot on his belt with the help of Zeng Li.

Then the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and laughed.

Then nose to nose, then lips to lips.

Shan Xiongxin, who was on the TV outside the living room, looked solemn when facing the enemy.

Lu Pingan felt that he was too inferior. At this time, he had to learn from himself. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win.

. . . . . .

The two of them got up at 10 a.m. the next day, less than two hours before the flight, and reluctantly got up.

Then it took more than half an hour to take a shower, and finally Zeng Li caught the plane in time.

In the text message, she complained about Lu Pingan, just like Yan Danchen, but Yan Danchen complained that he tore the costume.

But both of them were in a good mood, because Lu Ping'an had prepared gifts for their families.

Although the scumbag Lu Ping'an is unobtrusive in this regard, he also knows what to do when.

If you want to embrace both sides in the future, there will be a long way to go.

But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and there is still a plan for a safe journey.

After sending the women away, Lu Pingan continued to work on the post-production work of "Wonderful Night at the Museum".

Nowadays, there are many people who want to have a safe date. Even though New Year's Eve is only two days away, there are still many invitations.

Lu Ping'an didn't like this kind of meaningless entertainment, so he directly announced that "Wonderful Night" would be upgraded in the later stages.

In fact, there is no need to upgrade. The work of converting ordinary movies to 3D is planned after acquiring the skills.

But because Lu Ping An said before, Star Film and Television will learn advanced experience through "Batman".

So this reason became very powerful, and thus became a wave of publicity for "Wonderful Night" years ago.

And this also allowed "Wonderful Night" to gain more attention.

Fans and fans are looking forward to what kind of effect "9527" will have after it is released, with the latest Hollywood technology.

Of course, more people are curious about what kind of movie "9527" is.

In this regard, Lu Ping An has already had a publicity plan.

On New Year's 29, several of the main creators of "Wonderful Night" appeared in costumes on the TV show of Raytheon.

In the show, Ge You's Sima Qian, Fan Wei's security guard, Huang Xiaoming's Tang Monk and so on.

Several main creators wish the audience friends a happy New Year.

This was recorded in advance.

In other words, the official promotion of "Wonderful Night" will start from the Spring Festival this year, and will be decrypted step by step.

For this reason, the studio located in Chaoyang Trade City was strictly guarded during this period to prevent leaks.

This has also increased the curiosity of the media and movie fans.

And now, several of the main creators have used movie-level lenses, dressed in costumes, and wishing everyone New Year greetings in the image of their characters.

During the New Year greetings, the creators also revealed their roles.

As historical figures are decrypted one by one, modern figures with a unique style of painting are added, such as bodyguard Fan Wei.

This caused the attention of "Wonderful Night" to continue to skyrocket.

Movie fans are even more curious about what this movie is about. It’s so interesting to watch!

There were also many speculations, decryptions, and gossip posts on the Internet immediately.

Some guesses are very close, saying that it may be related to the time travel of historical figures.

Some guesses were outrageous, saying it was a show within a show.

Some even guessed right, saying that it was the characters in the museum who were resurrected.

This is probably because someone was bribed and couldn't keep the secret.

But it doesn't matter, because Lu Ping'an already has a backup plan.

He prepared three conclusive "speculation scripts" and put them directly online.

While muddying the water, it can also be regarded as giving everyone a vaccination in advance.

All subsequent speculations point to a few points, namely "imagination" and "first attempt at comedy".

The former is Lu Ping An's signature, which reassures movie fans.

The latter is to give movie fans an idea, don't compare it with high-scoring films like "Source Code".

Marketing of commercial films is a technical job.

Not too much, not too conservative.

Control the audience's expectations within the range you want, and wait until the movie comes out and the quality of the film exceeds the audience's expectations. This is the correct way to open it.
