China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

The quality of the film is clearly visible to the naked eye, and the interview after the premiere lasted twenty minutes longer than planned.

During this period, Lu Ping'an and the creators shared the hardships of creation, and the premiere was successfully completed.

After the show, the creative team has to rush to the next theater.

The task of starting the road show today will be very heavy, and there are two more companies to catch up with.

Starting tomorrow for ten consecutive days, we must rush to at least one area every day.

Taking advantage of the transition time, Lu Ping'an briefly communicated with the film producers.

Currently, among the overseas copyrights of "Wonderful Night at the Museum", except for Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, which have only distribution channels, so they will use separate accounts, the rest of the regions have not yet been sold.

But after today, completing the transaction will be quick.

Dozens of film studios started bidding after seeing it.

The overall price is not particularly high, after all, the film itself is somewhat culturally regional.

These are all to be expected.

This is actually related to national strength.

If the current international status of the country were different from that of the United States, the film would probably be sold at a sky-high price.

Therefore, Lu Ping An was prepared from the beginning for low overseas earnings.

Although he is not optimistic about it, in fact the current price is already the highest among all his movies for overseas rights.

So far, except for North America, the buyout price in other regions has reached a total of 8.6 million US dollars.

North America wanted to buy out the adaptation rights and offered $12 million.

In this regard, Lu Ping An's reply to other film producers was to wait first.

Let’s wait until the box office comes out in the next three days. The price will probably increase a lot by then.

As for North America, his plan is to co-produce the American version with Summit.

The original "Wonderful Night" cost 12 million US dollars and had a global box office of 575 million. It is a big piece of meat.

Of course, now that the overseas copyright of the Chinese version has been sold, if there is a US version, the global box office will definitely be affected.

But it also depends on whether the Chinese version is popular overseas.

If, as expected, domestic products are not easy to export and can still leave a blue ocean at the box office, then the American version will definitely be made.

If it exceeds expectations, Ping An will have corresponding plans.

Then we will just see how much we can exceed expectations.

If it is really good, then he can not make the American version and directly make a second one based on the current one.

In short, Ping An is willing to export culture, and he will try it whenever he has the opportunity.

This is also the consciousness of being a Chinese director.

Otherwise, he could just not sell the overseas rights and just start filming the American version. There would be no need for such trouble as adaptation.

After talking to the film producers, the theater chain was handed over to Wu Guohua and the new manager of IMAX.

The former talks about regular matters such as filming.

After all, this is the time when "House of Flying Daggers" is being released, and "Wonderful Night" is obviously better than "House of Flying Daggers" to the naked eye, so we can't suffer any losses in the film schedule.

The latter is based on 3D technology. The 3D technology of "Wonderful Night" is very effective, and many theaters already want to invest in it.

However, Lu Ping'an still didn't have high expectations.

This thing mainly depends on the producers. Only when the producers start this trend will 3D become popular.

So his purpose is still the same, just to have an eye on the country and set up a stick for this technology.

Once everything is settled, the creators start the next road show.

The reputation of "Wonderful Night" also spread online first.

"Who has watched "Night at the Museum"? Please share whether the movie is good or not."

On the Tianya Forum, a certain netizen posted a post.

It turned out that there were already many similar posts.

Also, the two blockbusters in this summer's summer season are highly promoted.

And because of "House of Flying Daggers", many people who originally wanted to go to the theater are now on the sidelines.

Many people are like him, waiting for others to try the poison first.

It's 8 o'clock in the evening now. Counting the time, the premiere should be over.

So there were a lot of inquiries on the Internet.

Not many people asked, and compared with later generations, it is certainly not worth mentioning.

After all, the Internet has just emerged a few years ago, the number of Internet users is limited, and there are only a few hot topics.

Topics about the film industry have become one of the hottest topics at the moment, and they are already generating a lot of traffic.

This is also thanks to Zhang Weiping.

Who made him spend so much money to create a public opinion bomb?

Soon, someone started replying.

"I just finished watching it. It's great. I recommend watching it!"

“I don’t know how much better than House of Flying Daggers, I suggest you watch it quickly!”

"The 3D version I watched, let's put it this way, is invincible!"

"The story still has some holes, but since it is a comedy, it is acceptable. At least it is much better than House of Flying Daggers."

"Jay was laughing so hard when he came out, Zhao Kuo is also very cute, and Zeng Li is the most beautiful."

"."

Gradually, there are more and more comments.

At first it was just a simple reply.

As time goes by, more and more people use tap water.

The most recommended one is the 3D version.

"If you have the conditions, you must go and see the 3D version."

"That's right, the 3D version of Wonderful Night, the visual effects are not inferior to Lao Mouzi's House of Flying Daggers, and the plot of Wonderful Night is an instant kill of House of Flying Daggers. I will definitely not regret it after watching it."

"I have watched both 2D and 3D. I recommend 2D. The ticket price is half the price. 3D is too expensive, 50 yuan, which is a bit painful."

"The plot is the most important thing. Really, I recommend the author to take the whole family to watch it. It's a very enjoyable movie."

"I watched the 3D version and almost screamed when the dinosaurs came out. It was so exciting."

"Lu Pingan is indeed a director who is good at suspense. The effect of suspense and comedy is really great."

"Everyone upstairs, would you like to put it into perspective, do you know where you can buy tickets for the 3D version now?"

"Actually, the 2D version is also good. I recommend going to the Planet Cinema to watch it. The decoration is luxurious, the sound is great, and the air conditioning temperature is very comfortable."

"Remember to go to QQ to get the coupon first."

"How can I get it from upstairs?"

"It's QQ. You can get it after Jay's pop-up window pops up."

Seeing the excitement online, many people want to go out immediately.

But unfortunately, this is not the era of mobile Internet, so it is not that convenient.

So everyone can only enjoy it online first.

And some good people on the Internet have begun to spoil the story.

Various introductions about the plot began to appear.

This is unstoppable.

But the good news is that even if it’s a spoiler, it’s all good reviews.

Puppy-like dinosaurs, Luo Jiaying's big Buddha head, Wukong causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the melee of the Three Kingdoms, etc.

Everything can make people who have never seen the movie feel itchy.

Then, various film reviews began to gain depth.

"A family-style comedy, I thought it would just be a bit of fun, but upon closer inspection, the characters are actually very fleshed-out. The sarcastic curator is a scholar who is extremely serious about history. When he said the phrase 'no matter what happens, No one is watching, history is here and cannot be erased. I really want Neon people to listen to it."

"If you treat history in the wrong way, history will give you the same feedback. Lu Ping'an's "Wonderful Night" is actually saying one thing, that is, history is serious."

"This is definitely not a simple comedy movie. The protagonist's story experience better shows and allows the audience to understand the meaning of the existence of historical figures. Historical relics and records can be preserved because the existence of that period of history itself has an indelible mark. Traces, as witnesses of historical civilization, we should understand history and preserve history so that our descendants can remember the glorious days of the earth."

"I have to say again that the concept and story of "Night at the Museum" are really great. After watching the movie, I had an unfinished feeling. I felt that everything has a spirit. Maybe the objects placed in the museum have their own meanings. The soul seems not as rigid as I thought. For example, the country now uses science and technology to make cultural relics "alive", breaking the cold distance between the buried ground and people, and narrowing the distance between modern people and cultural relics."

"After watching the movie, I immediately had the urge to visit the nearest museum to see if the cultural relics inside were the same as in the movie. No one has visited them for months, so they are just as lonely, and they also have their own personality."

There are still many literary youths on the Internet.

As soon as various in-depth film reviews came out, the entire forum became very lively.

This makes those who have never seen the movie have higher expectations for "Wonderful Night".

The next day, mainstream media released various news about "Wonderful Night".

The content of the main discussions online has also changed to some extent.

"How many details are there in "Wonderful Night" that have not yet been discovered?"

Under one post, there are hundreds of posts, and they are still growing.

The poster and netizens listed in detail all the details that everyone has seen.

For example, the terracotta warriors and horses fall in love, the suspected collision between Hua Tuo and modern medicine, the exchanges between emperors of various generations, etc.

There are also Easter eggs at the end of the film.

Especially the speculation that the wax figures were boxed at the end.

Everyone feels that a second part may already be planned.

As more and more details were discussed, everyone became more and more aware of how carefully Lu Pingan was making this movie.

This is how word of mouth slowly ferments. (End of chapter)
