Chapter 401: Eat the Big Debate!

At this time, the online pre-sale of "Transformers" has only been open for 5 days, and the online box office has reached 170 million, and the total pre-sale box office has reached 220 million.

Affected by this, the box office growth of "Pacific Rim" in these five days began to decline significantly.

On the evening of July 15, the box office of "Pacific Rim" just exceeded 500 million.

Many people expected to break through 800 million, which is basically impossible.

In fact, this result is already quite good now.

But the media will not help to say good things.

And many people think that it is only 500 million, and "Transformers" may soon break this record.

Because after the premiere of "Transformers", the reputation is indeed very good.

"Autobots, Transform!"

"It's very rare to go to such a "trendy" movie. This movie is so important to the kids born between 1977 and 1983. And this group of people are now "popular", so they are collectively nostalgic."

"Classic things are so deadly that even if the premiere is a bunch of posters, there will be fanatical fans who are excited and shocked. I was pretending to be calm, but I lost my mind as soon as the movie started."

"I went to see it, and invited all the idiots in the company and their families to welcome the return of the big brother with practical actions Ball!"

"I can be sure that the so-called Superman fans, Star Wars fans, and Lord of the Rings fans in China are all fake. Only Transformers fans really exist, and there are tens of millions of them. When they were little kids in the late 70s and early 80s, they took out their brains and used Transformers as a scrub brush to thoroughly cleanse them. So, in fact, we are all Autobots, so even if the movie is very bad, I won't say a word."

Starting that night, all kinds of emotional reviews about "Transformers" appeared like snowflakes.

The enthusiasm for watching movies is explosive!

Lu Pingan received news from the cinema under his command that the two cinemas in Xujiahui area of ​​Shanghai were crowded and full of people, and some fans strongly requested to increase the number of screenings.

Many cinemas in first-tier cities also had long queues that could not be seen at the end, and many cinemas had to open midnight shows.

In the words of the media: This is a boiling scene that is being staged in China.

Although, this scene also appeared when "Pacific Rim" was released two weeks ago.

But who let her be Bai Yueguang?

The fans and some media also acted as if they had met Mrs. Niu. Although they were already together, they still had Xiao Tiantian in their hearts and were willing to give up everything to throw themselves into Xiao Tiantian's arms.

"Pacific Rim" is Mrs. Niu.

"Transformers" is Xiao Tiantian.

You can't be jealous.

Because they and Xiao Tiantian are childhood sweethearts and have been together since the 1980s!

. . . . . . .

"Transformers" was extremely popular on the first day of its release in mainland China.

There will inevitably be news on the market that look down on Pacific Rim and Lu Pingan.

Some media even said that "Kung Fu Panda" may have to change the release date to avoid the limelight.

But perhaps the media itself could not have thought that this kind of report that was just for traffic would cause a huge response.

You know, Lu Pingan now represents the highest level of domestic film technology and is the flag bearer.

If you want to change the release date, isn't it cowardice before the battle?

This is almost equivalent to traitorous behavior.

Soon the news reached Lu Pingan's ears.

Then Han Sanpin called and asked if we should change the release date.

In fact, he mentioned whether to change the release date of Kung Fu Panda from August 1 to the Lunar New Year release date when the pre-sale box office of Pacific Rim reached nearly 300 million yuan.

Changing the release date can leave more space for Pacific Rim to schedule films and hit a higher box office record.

Kung Fu Panda can also try "export to domestic sales" again.

It can also fill the Lunar New Year release date.

The summer release date has exploded. The two films "The Warlords" and "Assembly" that were originally scheduled for the Lunar New Year release date have not been confirmed by both companies. This means that the Lunar New Year release date is now empty and there is no blockbuster.

It is understandable that Han Sanpin wants to do this. He is focusing on the entire market.

To be honest, when Lu Ping'an saw that Pacific Rim's "export to domestic sales" was so successful, he was also very excited.

Although there was a snowstorm in the south this year, it started in early January and lasted until February, affecting more than 20 provinces, which just covered the Lunar New Year release date before the Spring Festival.

But didn’t the original time and space “Assembly” still get more than 200 million box office at this time?

And no one would say anything about this.

It was a force majeure factor after all.

There was no such thing as bad luck.

But if it was not changed at that time, it would obviously be inappropriate to change it now.

Now he is the flag bearer of domestic films.

Now the wolf is coming.

You want to retreat?

Lu Ping’an can’t do such a cowardly thing.

So Lu Ping’an answered firmly:

“No change, I have confidence in “Pacific Rim” and “Panda”!”

Han Sanpin was also relieved after hearing this, and then asked: “In this case, the impact may be greater.”

“I know, but I am confident.”

Lu Ping’an is full of confidence.

In Lu Ping’an’s opinion, this version of “Kung Fu Panda” is indeed of super high quality.

Backed by Chinese culture, it has Chinese characteristics far beyond “Pacific Rim”, which is also “feelings”, so it may not be crushed, and there may be surprises.

Furthermore, the box office of the film in the mainland in 2008 was 186 million RMB, which is not high.

Lu Ping An's box office target for the film in the mainland is only 200 million RMB.

It mainly depends on the income from Laos, the United States and internationally.

Therefore, even if the impact is large, the losses will be limited.

Maybe this loss is as big as the impact of the snowstorm during the Lunar New Year holiday.

So there's really no need to change it.

"Uncle Han, save that media for me."

"Don't worry, let's have a good road show and leave it to me."

Early the next morning, the media issued an apology statement, admitting to spreading rumors.

Star Wu Guohua also made an announcement through the official website.

We severely condemn the rumor makers and will take necessary measures next.

It was officially announced that "Kung Fu Panda" will not be rescheduled.

Finally, a video of Lu Ping An’s response was posted.

Countless fans and media clicked on the video and saw Lu Pingan sitting at the table, saying confidently and calmly:

“First of all, congratulations on the success of Transformers all over the world.

As a child born in the 1980s, like many boys of the same age, I also have a car that can transform in my mind.

So I went to watch the movie when it came out.

very nice.

Like most movie fans, seeing childhood cartoons realistically displayed through super-burning special effects makes me extremely excited.

As a director, I regret not being able to direct this film.

But at the same time, I’m even more excited to compete with it with my own work.

And I am very happy that in the face of this super classic IP, "Pacific Rim", which also has great special effects and focuses on mechas, is still capable of fighting.

This proves that my investment in the film industry over the past five or six years has achieved excellent results.

Rather than producing a masterpiece, I am more happy with the improvement of our overall filmmaking technology.

"Pacific Rim" carries this mission.

And "Kung Fu Panda" is responsible for breakthroughs in animation technology.

I believe that in the future, in our country, not only our stars will be able to produce high-level special effects movies, but also more companies will put more of our own classic IPs on the screen and gain the same enthusiasm.

So Hollywood film technology is definitely better than domestic ones?

Be more confident.

No one would deny this ten years ago, but now it is 2007 and times have changed!

If you don’t believe it, go watch “Pacific Rim” and then on August 1st, watch “Kung Fu Panda”.

Friendly reminder, adults can also watch it, and the effect will be better! "

As soon as the video came out, countless fans thought that Lu Ping'an was very majestic, neither humble nor overbearing, and calm and unhurried.

This is what a great director should look like.

Many movie fans breathed a sigh of relief. At first, they really thought Lu Pingan was going to cancel "Kung Fu Panda".

If this is the case, everyone will definitely have a negative view of Ping An.

Many movie fans are also proud of it, because the emergence of "Pacific Rim" has indeed given domestic movie fans a shot in the arm.

After all, the movie's special effects are indeed quite good.

At the same time, many movie fans felt relieved.

Now that Transformers is so popular, many people think this movie will win.

But you know, not everyone is a Transformers fan!

Moreover, in the eyes of non-fans, "Transformers" is actually not as good-looking as it is said to be, and it is not as exciting as "Pacific Rim".

Transformers fans also felt very comfortable after watching it.

The media seems to be in conflict these days, thinking that those who watch Transformers are not fans of Lu Ping An, and are even about to be labeled as "traitors".

As a result, Lu Pingan himself now says he is a fan of Transformers.

What does this mean? It means that people are not so narrow-minded. Only you media are messing around.

And for those colonists who really think Hollywood is bullshit.

Lu Ping'an also made it clear this time.

Even if you can't understand it, there are fans of Lu Pingan on the Internet who have translated the words in his video.

To sum up, here are a few points:

“Transformers are strong.

But my movies aren’t bad either!

Some people are more confident.

The meaning of Huantai and Kung Fu Panda is to open your eyes and let you know that we are not weak in the first place.

Do you have to think that Hollywood's victory over domestic films is the correct script?

Food debate! (Times have changed!)”
