China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

In Los Angeles, Lu Ping An felt light all over after leaving the airport, and the fatigue accumulated in the cramped space along the way dissipated.

I walked out of the airport quickly and saw Tina who was picking her up. She got in the car, closed the door, and Yan Danchen hugged her.

The Yan Danchen in front of her looked much more beautiful than in previous years.

Mainly the temperament.

If a girl takes good skin care, manages her body properly, and dresses tastefully, she doesn't have to worry about money.

In this way, this temperament can immediately widen the gap with ordinary people.

This is especially true for celebrities.

There is no pressure of fame and fortune, there is nourishment of love, and there is no need to worry about the flies and dogs in the career field.

Chang'e is much more like Chang'e.

Wealth and honor support people!

But no matter how good your temperament is, everything will be torn to pieces in front of your own man.

"Hey, it's all saliva!"

After the kiss, Lu Pingan wiped his mouth in disgust.

Even though it attracted a small fist.

The temperamental young rich woman Yan Danchen suddenly became a bullied young woman.

what to do?

Lu Pingping then kissed.

The little resentful woman suddenly softened.

Look, settle it!

Tina, who was driving, was so focused that she didn’t see anything.

When they arrived at the Beverly villa, the two got out of the car and Tina left voluntarily.

After entering the door, there was no nonsense, and it was once again verified that a small separation is better than a newlywed.

From the living room to the bedroom to the bathroom.

Aerobic exercise almost became anaerobic exercise.

Lu Ping'an will accept it as soon as it's good. Sister Chang'e is still a mortal, and today is the birthday girl, so let her go for the time being.

Lying in the bathtub, the little birthday girl who had come back to his senses seemed to have forgotten that he was the protagonist today, and obediently helped Lu Ping'an rub his back.

After rubbing my back, I’ll have to cook some food later.

Lu Ping'an said, "How about I come?"

"I don't want to make a bad impression on my birthday."

Yan Danchen smiled mischievously.

Safe road and spread your hands.

It's not my fault.

Poor cooking skills can sometimes be an advantage.

After taking a bath and calming down Xiaoping, who was restless again, Yan Danchen escaped from the bathroom and started cooking.

Lu Ping An also took advantage of this time to debug the equipment.

Summit sent copies of "Brokeback Mountain" and "Chainsaw 2" to the villa a few days ago.

It can be played in the small screening room of the villa for a while.

It's not Lu Ping'an who wants to see it, but Yan Danchen who wants to see it.

Yan Danchen was very interested in Lu Pingan's same-sex movies, and she wanted to know how Lu Pingan would express such themes.

At the same time, she is also very interested in horror movies, especially the "Chainsaw" series, and now she is also a little chainsaw fan.

In order for her to watch it before returning to China, Lu Pingping simply played it at home.

After debugging, Lu Ping'an returned to the kitchen and started working together.

It can't help much, passing a plate or something is enough, the important thing is the atmosphere.

For a meal, there is no cake, only longevity noodles.

Yan Danchen rolled the noodles, Lu Ping'an fried the eggs, and put them in the pot, so he made all the other things, which made her very happy to eat.

After dinner, the two started watching a movie.

Just watching "Brokeback Mountain" tonight.

And Yan Danchen's state after watching "Brokeback Mountain" was no different from that of Hu Qingquan and others.

A good movie can always make people feel some psychological fluctuations.

However, such fluctuations did not last long tonight.

Because Yan Danchen focused the topic on the widowed sister.

"Tell me, how was that scene filmed?"

Yan Danchen leaned in Lu Pingan's arms and looked at Lu Pingan with a smirk.

“Gee, that’s all art.”

"Humph, I don't believe it."

"It's really art."

"I'm more convinced that this is your hobby."

"Why did you become a fetish?"

"You asked me to take off my clothes in "The Tuner", and you asked Dong Xuan to take off his clothes in "Time and Space Crime". Now you just let it go and take off your clothes in the front, Xiaopingan, admit it, this is your hobby!"

"No matter what you say, it's art!"

"Tough talk."

"Yes, I'm just tough and will bite you!"

"Ahaha, no, I have stubble."

After laughing for a while, Yan Danchen talked about another emotion:

"You have never had any scandals or a girlfriend. When this movie is released in the future, some people will definitely think that you are really gay."

"It's very possible indeed."

"So Ping An, why don't you start a few scandals first?"

"ha?"

Lu Ping'an was surprised, Yan Danchen covered his mouth with a smile and continued to joke: "You don't like picking up girls openly and openly?"

"This is not good."

"Wow, you are actually smiling and saying, have you already thought of a partner?"

"No way~"

"Is it Fan Bingbing? Or Gao Yuanyuan?"

"It's okay, hahaha."

"Peaceful road, you sleep on the sofa tonight!"

"Oh, woman."

. . . . . . .

Lu Pingping spent the next two days at the villa.

The two originally planned to go to other places to have fun, such as going to the NBA to watch Yao Yao, going to Maple Leaf Country for skiing, etc.

However, the flight was delayed three hours due to weather conditions just after the first plan started. The two simply stopped going out, and subsequent plans were also cancelled.

When Wattsberg found out about this, he asked him if he wanted to borrow his private jet.

Although private jets are also affected by weather, there are many airports in the United States and they can park in different places, which greatly enhances their maneuverability.

Lu Ping'an refused. It's not bad at home. We spend less time together and more separation throughout the year. This time we have to see each other for a long time after separation, so staying at home is more suitable.

But this also made Lu Ping'an suddenly come up with the idea of ​​buying one himself.

However, this idea was quickly extinguished by him.

He feels that for now, this kind of thing is not necessary for him.

He doesn't often travel to the United States, and intercontinental flights are not cheap, and he doesn't dare to fly on cheap ones.

So let’s talk about it later.

The time we get together is always short. On the third day, Lu Ping An sent Yan Danchen away, and he had to start working.

The first thing is about Batman.

Batman is now all in post-production and ready to be released at any time.

It’s just that according to the contract, people from Warner and DC must see it before the release is scheduled.

The purpose of their visit was just to ensure that the film would not be altered, and according to the contract, even if it was altered, they could not prevent it from being released because the script stage had already passed.

So this time I came here just to fulfill the contract.

The date for watching the movie has been set long ago, and people from several parties gathered at the summit as scheduled.

Before the screening, investors and original IP owners had different attitudes.

There is support and there is bearishness.

But overall it's still promising.

After all, that's what happened.

The money that should be invested has been invested, and the IP that should be released has also been released.

The next step is to look at the quality of the movie and then express your opinion.

In this regard, Lu Ping'an didn't say much and just let everyone watch the movie first before talking.

Soon, the movie started.

The results, fortunately, were all expected.

"This is Batman, this is Batman!"

People from DC lamented first.

It’s as if this is Batman and all the previous ones were shit.

Indeed, the operatic Batman is refreshing.

It’s not just talk that the trilogy can confer godhood.

Anyone with a professional eye can feel it.

But this also made Warner a little embarrassed.

But Warner didn't say much. After all, the previous Batman films were indeed their fault, and the current one does look good.

Of course, there are definitely still conflicting opinions.

For example, regarding the issue of scheduling.

Since the quality of the movie is good, the way to maximize profits for everyone is to hit the box office.

At present, everyone believes that the current version of "Batman" should have a very good reputation.

But due to the practical problems of the IP, if it wants to be revived, it must at least be better than the first three films.

That’s 336 million for “Batman Forever” in 1995.

1997 "Batman and Robin" 238 million.

and 1992’s “Batman Returns” with $266 million

As for the 410 million for "Batman" in 1989, we don't insist on it.

So after counting the box office, it must be over 350 million.

This requires strong publicity and a favorable schedule.

In the United States, the two hottest box office periods are the summer season and the Christmas season.

Of course, this also means great competition.

There are a lot of blockbusters this summer.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "Star Wars Episode III", "Madagascar", "The Longest Yard", "War of the Worlds" and so on.

They are all blockbusters.

Among them, "Star Wars 3", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "War of the Worlds" have been scheduled for summer release.

In theory, avoiding these three films is indeed a good plan.

The former has a much larger fan base than Batman.

The two leading actors in the middle are both the most popular at the moment.

The latter stars Tom Cruise and never loses.

Warner suggested finding a different approach and moving to a slightly less popular schedule, like Ping An Lu’s horror film in March. A good movie is not afraid of a laggy schedule.

Before he finished speaking, Lu Pingan refused directly.

"'Batman' is going to be released in the summer!"

It’s categorical and unquestionable.

The reason is simple. On the one hand, this is the same schedule as the original time and space.

On the other hand, and the most important thing is that I am safe and not stupid.

The success or failure of the movie "Batman" does not just depend on the box office.

This is also related to the issue of a Chinese director gaining a foothold in Hollywood.

Needless to say, it failed.

If he succeeds, he will become a major Hollywood director.

From "Chainsaw" to "Batman", from the non-mainstream to the mainstream, this is the meaning of a celebrity's transcendence.

Others have strong box office appeal, but there are also many Batman fans!

As for success, it also depends on how it is achieved.

The summer season is the most popular season.

This is also a battleground for military strategists.

In the old and American culture, daring to show off one's skills in the most intense period is the sign of a strong person.

You find a niche at the beginning and then hope to use word of mouth to counterattack and use data to achieve formal success.

That’s it for movies with a special theme like horror movies, but for a big IP like Batman?

This is called cowardice before fighting!

You are the weak one.

And because you are a Chinese director, you are considered weak or irrelevant in the eyes of others.

Now it has become weaker and weaker.

Once the momentum weakens, chain reactions will appear one after another.

Fans will look down on you.

The media will go to great lengths to edit you.

Even if it succeeds at the box office, it may not be able to get the same benefits as other directors.

So you absolutely can't do this.

And Lu Ping'an knows that "Batman" has good combat capabilities.

Known through the system.

The North American box office of "Batman" in the original time and space exceeded 200 million, and the global box office was 370 million.

"Star Wars: Episode III" has a global box office of more than 800 million, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" has a global box office of more than 400 million, and "War of the Worlds" has a global box office of 590 million.

However, the North American box office of these three films is not that high. "Star Wars: Episode III" is 380 million, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is 180 million, and "War of the Worlds" is 230 million.

"Batman" was not crushed, but went back and forth with the blockbusters.

In the end, the box office will also break into the top ten in the United States this year.

As an IP movie that has already died, it can actually achieve this result.

Therefore, Lu Ping'an is very determined: "If you want to fight, fight with the elite!" (End of Chapter)
