Chapter 414 Dreaming Back to 98

No. 10, Los Angeles.

Today is the premiere of "Apex 3".

There were a lot of people outside the Uncle Sam Theater, and the scene looked like a year-end sale in a large domestic supermarket.

Lu Pingan looked at the crowd in front of him and sighed.

I have been in the United States for so long and have made so many movies, but none of them have achieved such an effect.

That’s the appeal of a successful series.

Of course, Cheng Long's own appeal also accounts for a large part.

Or strictly speaking, everyone came to see Cheng Long today.

"I owe Cheng Long a movie ticket."

When Lu Ping An came up with the idea and New Line implemented it, he never expected that the effect would be so good.

Cheng Long also complained to Lu Ping'an with some laughter and tears: "Many people called me and asked me if I was going to die."

After he finished speaking, the black actor Chris Tucker beside him pouted his fists and giggled until he got cramps.

In the past few months, he had watched the entire promotion process from beginning to end.

When New Line released the news that "Peak 3" was finalized, fans were excited.

Immediately after New Line released pictures of dozens of serious injuries on Cheng Long's body and a video of the shooting mistake, fans began to be moved.

Then someone said that Peak 3 might be Cheng Long's last movie because he was seriously injured during filming!

New Line refuted the rumors this time, but some people said that Peak 3 is not good-looking because Cheng Long is too old!

Now fans began to spread the campaign of "owing Cheng Long a movie ticket".

He said that no matter how old Cheng Long is, he still wants to see his last movie!

Then it got worse and worse, so much so that Cheng Long himself had to stand up and "refute the rumors": I'm just old, not dead! Peaky Blinders 3 is not my last movie! Peak 3 will definitely be better than the first two!

The so-called refutation of rumors is actually a planned matter.

The effect is indeed great.

Fans and most of the media have shown strong support and criticized the media for looking down on it.

The media that are bearish on the situation continue to be bullish.

After all, people themselves admit that they are getting old. Isn’t this a nightmare for action stars?

The two sides started a war of words again.

In this way, the topic level will be directly filled up.

So much so that since August, the popularity of "Apex 3" has been crushing a series of films such as "The Bourne Supremacy", "The Simpsons", and "Daddy's Rangers 2" in the same period.

Of course, this will cause a big problem.

Cheng Long continued to smile at Lu Pingan: "If my grades are not good, I might really die."

Obviously, Cheng Long is still a little unhappy with this kind of publicity.

This is a bit like gambling on your career.

However, when I was watching the movie yesterday, I didn’t know who was watching it most enthusiastically.

Of course, Lu Ping An himself also has related concerns.

After all, this involves adaptation, which is very different from the original time and space, so there will be many unknowns.

It's not impossible for things like poor grades to happen.

But consider that Goldfinger gave it a much higher rating than The Original Time and Space.

Look at how popular it is now.

Finally, look at the entire August, there are almost no strong opponents.

"Peak 3" seems to have basically no reason to fail.

So Lu Ping'an replied: "If it doesn't work, I will build another powerful one for you for free."

Cheng Long's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's what you said!"

"Of course, but if it's a big hit, look back to Kung Fu Panda."

"Don't worry! Whether it's a hit or not, I will definitely help you promote "Kung Fu Panda"!"

The two looked at each other and shook hands, then got out of the RV and began to greet the cheers of fans.

. . . . . .

"Before I discussed the project with Ping An, I told him that I am already old, 52 years old, and the new movie will definitely not be as good as the previous two. You should do more drama this time. In the end, what do you think Ping An said? Ping An said I had all the ideas to risk my life, and I said that I have always been risking my life, but he said that if I wanted to play Death this time, I would have to pay for a movie ticket!”

"When Jack found me, he said that Lu would be our director. I said really? Are you talking about the Chinese director who won several Oscars in his twenties? Jack said yes, and he likes me very much. I I was very happy at the time, but what I didn’t expect was that when I met Lu for the first time, Lu asked me to quickly buy more insurance. I was thinking at the time, this guy is not racist, right? I didn’t know until later. , he really likes me, but I was really almost played to death by him."

"When Cheng Long approached me, I didn't want to take it. As you know, Cheng Long's films have their own characteristics. I don't have much experience in directing action films, and an action film with mostly literature and drama, and It is still a series, and it is doomed to fail, but Cheng Long said that in terms of action, you can think freely and boldly, and he is responsible for realizing it. Then I remembered that when I was a child, I learned the action of climbing over the wall in his movies. You all know it, right? Yeah, haha, then unfortunately, I broke my ankle, and I remembered the oath I seemed to have made at that time. I said that if I had the opportunity to be a director and let him be the protagonist when I grew up, I would play to death. he."

At the premiere, the two protagonists and a director started like a talk show, which not only raised the expectations, but also made the fans and reporters burst into laughter.

After the fun, it’s time to watch the movie.

Whether a movie is good or not depends on whether you watch it or not. Next is the time to test the results.

Sit back and dim the lights.

Lu Pingan lowered his hand naturally, and Yan Danchen's palm was already waiting for him.

Lu Ping'an scratched his hands, held them together, and the corners of their mouths also rose.

Then, the movie started.

The movie started with the character description of the two protagonists.

In the original version, the characters of the two protagonists had not changed much until the third part.

But this time was different.

At the beginning, there was a traffic jam on the streets of Los Angeles.

Black Carter wore headphones, listened to Michael Jackson's songs, danced Michael's hip-thrust dance, and directed traffic.

But he directed rubbish, and the traffic became more and more congested.

After a dance, a traffic accident occurred on the road as expected.

When Black Carter saw it, he looked unhappy and walked over with curses.

But before he got to the place, more traffic accidents happened.

At the same time, a scene of police chasing thieves was staged on the street.

Carter didn't see it, and was busy teasing the two beauties driving a convertible.

The police in the distance shouted for him to help, but Carter remained indifferent.

Until the thief being chased taunted and said, "Mind your own business."

Carter drove straight to the top.

When the thief passed by him, he snatched the knife from the thief's hand and made him fall flat on his face.

This scene was very cool, so cool that the two beauties in the film fell in love with him.

Movie fans also thought it was very cool, but many people also frowned.

Because Carter's character seemed to be broken, shouldn't he be able to only talk but not do anything?

Before I thought about it, the beauty in the movie praised Carter for being so good!

Carter proudly replied that this was Chinese Kung Fu, which I learned from my brother.

The camera turned and Officer Li appeared.

He was still wearing a well-tailored suit and looked serious.

As soon as the familiar image appeared, the fans of Peaky Blinders at the scene returned to 1998.
