Chapter 416 Small Insurance, Three-Day Box Office

The film ended, and then the Easter eggs during the filming began to play.

In short, there were all kinds of injuries, which moved the fans.

Then waited for the lights in the theater to come on.

The main creators came on stage to the applause of the audience.

Then there was interaction.

Then the plane-climbing scene was mentioned first.

This scene was really shot, so it attracted a lot of applause again.

Then there were various questions.

Judging from the situation on the scene, the situation was very good.

In Lu Ping'an's opinion, this must be better than the original version.

The original version could win 260 million US dollars.

This version can be released in the mainland again, so the box office is estimated to be at least 300 million.

This is close to the box office of the second part.

However, after the fans expressed their opinions, Lu Ping'an felt that this number might still be a bit conservative.

Soon the fans spoke and began to express their thoughts.

In general, the film has maintained the lineage of the Peak series very well.

The most important interaction between the two protagonists was also well preserved.

Especially at the beginning, the two exchanged roles, had a conflict in the middle, and then exchanged roles again in the end, and then had a deeper relationship.

This line was not wrong and was presented very well.

In addition, many of the swear words of Black Carter were deleted, and it was not so obscene.

In terms of action, the visual effects and action difficulty of the movie are highly recognized, and even the innovative action scenes will be widely quoted in the future.

Lu Ping'an has no doubt about this, after all, these special effects actions are all taken from later Hollywood movies.

Finally, in terms of the plot, although it is not particularly outstanding, it is more reasonable than the original version. It did not create a plot in which a Chinese gang organization of 500,000 people was destroyed, but mentioned the "organization" in a very obscure way, without giving a full picture, and paved the way for the next part.

Of course, there are still some rough places, such as the big boss was exposed too simply, Su Yang's role was a bit abrupt, etc.

But it doesn't matter, after all, the project is not his, and the money is so much. Although he has autonomy, many ideas cannot be really realized in reality.

Now, for Lu Pingan, it is enough to successfully complete the task, get rid of the reputation of "adding a new leaf to a dog's tail", and at the same time, it is likely to bring the series to a new high, and let Yan Danchen show up in Hollywood.

After the premiere, Lu Pingan expressed his gratitude to Michael Jackson who was present today.

Michael is a friend of the black actor Chris Tucker.

He also came to support today.

Lu Pingan took the opportunity to give Michael a disc of "Kung Fu Panda" and said that if the other party likes it after watching it, he wants to invite him to come to support the North American premiere of the movie.

Michael glanced at the cover of the disc, and then asked happily: "Is it Kung Fu and pandas? Wow, I like pandas very much. If I have time, I must go to China to see them."

There was no direct agreement or refusal, but it was enough.

Because the main task was given to Chris Tucker.

Just let him blow the wind.

If Michael can come, it will certainly help the movie.

Although he is now deeply trapped in the whirlpool of public opinion, he can still attract traffic in many occasions.

For example, today, Lu Pingan and New Line didn't actually plan to invite him. He came by himself to support his friend Tucker.

As soon as he came, the popularity was extremely high.

For projects that he was not directly involved in, this kind of support was actually not bad for the project, which is why Lu Pingan hoped that he would support the pandas at that time.

Of course, he was not the insurance for the pandas that Lu Pingan mentioned before.

The real insurance was actually Cheng Long.

Starting from mid-August, Lu Pingan had to do Olympic work and had no time to run the global road show of "Kung Fu Panda" that would last until December, so Lu Pingan handed it over to Cheng Long.

Internationally, Cheng Long's influence should never be underestimated.

He is the most famous Chinese actor in the world at present.

Those who have passed away don't count.

In addition, the movie is still about kung fu.

So it is absolutely the most appropriate to hand it over to him.

In the future in Europe and North America, I can't say how much the upper limit of the box office can be increased, but at least the lower limit can be guaranteed not to be too low.

If "Peak 3" is a hit, the lower limit will be raised even higher.

Lu Ping An also considered at the beginning whether asking Cheng Long to help "endorse" the product would fall into the "Cheng Long curse", that is, whatever he endorsed would die.

But just like when the higher-ups hired him as the spokesperson for the Olympic bid.

The product is extremely competitive, and he was only hired to strengthen it, so there will be no problem in the future.

Aren't Canon and Taiping Insurance, which he endorsed, good?

And which of the other "dead" endorsement brands didn't lack product strength, and asked Cheng Long to take advantage of it?

So "Kung Fu Panda" is of excellent quality, so there is naturally no big problem.

For Cheng Long, he was very happy to do this job.

He didn't take this job for free, but was paid.

After the two discussed, Lu Ping An gave 5 million US dollars, which included the dubbing fee.

Cheng Long thought it was too much, and he didn't plan to ask for money at the beginning.

In his opinion, the quality of the film is excellent and it can export Chinese culture, and the key is the culture of his own professional field.

Moreover, the senior officials of the Ministry of Culture had already warned us when the film premiered in the mainland, saying, "Thank you for your help."

How could we not cooperate?

In addition, the workload is not too big after taking the task. He only needs to travel to 24 countries around the world, which can overlap with his own work schedule. It is very easy.

So if the movie can really succeed, it is equivalent to a reputation picked up for free!

Even if it doesn’t work, it is also a big face.

So next, it depends on how "Peak 3" performs.

If the performance is good, the future will be much easier.

If the performance is bad.

I won’t mention the poor performance.

That night, the film "Peak 3" was released.

"Who said Jack Cheng is old? He is living a good life!"

"Peak 3 is a bit different from the first two parts. I feel that the danger factor of the third part has increased sharply."

"The visual effects are superb! Jack Cheng really tried his best this time."

"Lu's imagination is really great. The part where he drives a tank in the air is so cool."

"Five-star recommendation for action scenes!"

"I have to admit that Cheng Long is 52 years old after all, but he can still do so well at this age. I think I still have to thank Lu. Without his imagination, Peak 3 would probably be more boring."

There are good and bad ones.

"It relies more on special effects, and the plot is not polished very well."

"The plot is a little thin. Excluding the action plot, there is almost nothing left."

"I guessed it was him when the villain came out."

There are good and bad ones, which is normal.

Overall, Peak 3 started very well.

The Rotten Tomatoes Freshness Index that night was 97%.

The Imdb score was 7.3, 1.1 points higher than the original time and space.

It is also an excellent score.

The reviews from all major media outlets are good.

The most important thing is that Kung Fu fans and Peak fans are quite optimistic.

So it is basically foreseeable that the final box office will be better than the original version. How much better it will be depends on the data from the next two weeks.

August 14th came quickly.

The box office for the first three days came out, and there was no surprise. Peak 3 opened in 3,996 theaters and 6,200 screens, and won the first place in the same period with a score of 68.24 million.

The data was about 10 million more than New Line's prediction.

Now Cheng Long and New Line were all relieved.

Lu Ping'an was also relieved, which was about 13 million more than the original version.

There was a reason for the increase in the number of theaters that opened the film by more than 100.

But the bigger reason is still the quality of the film.

There is basically no problem in surpassing the original version in the future.

But Lu Ping'an also compared this with Pacific Rim.

Pacific Rim opened for three days, and the average box office per big screen was only 8,500 US dollars.

Peak 3 actually exceeded 10,000.

I still feel a little bit unconvinced when I think about it.

But forget it, Cheng Long is not a small star after all, and this is his own work after all.

So, Lu Ping'an can return home with peace of mind.

One chapter left, I will make up for it tomorrow
