Chapter 294 Sweeps the National Day Festival
The premiere is over.
That afternoon, a large amount of on-site news was reported.
“‘The Thief’ is a star-studded, successful large-scale commercial film!”
“Director Lin’s first group portrait film is extremely exciting and lives up to expectations...”
...
Online coverage of the movie only accounts for half.
The most concerning thing is Lin Nan’s new film plan.
This is a literary film directed by Golden Lion!
The news quickly spread throughout the entertainment industry from the premiere of "Thieves".
What actor can have no ideas?
We all have ideas!
Since the evening, there has been an endless stream of people asking about it.
But all of them returned without success, and no detailed information was obtained.
Liu Yifei is in a good mood and is currently advertising for "Thieves".
Three Weibo posts in a row.
"Please support Director Lin's "The Thief", thank you."
......
The content is simple and direct, but there are a lot of pictures, all of them are her and the cat, A photo of the dog, sunny and lazy.
There are many stars and actors in the industry who have left messages below, all of whom support and repost.
There are many netizens making fun of it.
"The director's wife has spoken, let's reluctantly buy one more ticket..."
"Director Lin is not worthy of you, leave him..."
...
This night, many people could not sleep.
For movies like "Babel," a wolf is coming tomorrow.
Most of the actors were thinking about Lin Nan's "The Fault in Our Stars".
When will the casting for this movie be announced?
The time comes on the 30th.
As of now, as a literary film, "Hawthorn Tree" is coming to an end, with a box office revenue of 121 million.
This figure has exceeded the 114 million of "Mei Lanfang" and created a new record for domestic literary films.
As for "Tongtian Empire", after half a month of release, it has a box office of 220 million.
"Sword Rain" is cannon fodder, and "Fist of Fury" has fallen into the sea.
"The Thief" officially meets the audience and begins its public screening.
……
"Director Lin, why don't you give me a chance? You know, literary films are my strong point."
Zhou Xun, with his smokey voice, joked and acted coquettishly, and it was... a bit interesting.
"Are you going to play a supporting role?" Lin Nan teased.
"Huh? Why is it a supporting role? Sister, with my strength, can't I play the leading role?"
"The heroine is already there..."
Zhou Xun is a smart man, and Lin Nan understood halfway through his words.
"Okay, Director Lin knows how to play. I guess the male protagonist must be Yin, right?
Literary films are indispensable for kissing scenes, hehe..."
…………
On the first day of the release of "Thieves", Lin Nan stayed in the company.
Actors one after another, many of them big names, came to ask about "The Fault in Our Stars".
Fan Bingbing called in a gentle voice, and Li Bingbing's agent asked where Yue Jun was.
Even Zhang Ziyi wants to ask Lin Nan for tea...
Liu Dehua, Huang Xiaoming...
Those who are not good-looking are too embarrassed to be in literary films. idea.
Not many people have Lin Nan's contact information. Most actors or agents contact Yue Jun.
"Director Lin, my phone has not been disconnected from morning to now. The agency, the agent, the actor himself..."
Yue Jun took a moment to drink some water and complained. .
“Has the script been sent?”
“It was sent to the bureau a week ago.”
"Well, that's good."
A man and a woman are both terminally ill, but they love each other, support each other, and live a positive and sunny life every day.
In Lin Nan’s opinion, there is absolutely no problem in passing the review for this kind of subject matter.
He plans to start preparations for "The Fault in Our Stars" after "The Thief" is released.
Prepare carefully!
Most of the time, making artistic films is not easier than making commercial films, and is even more tiring.
Because the former requires more emotion, energy, and spirit!
Especially this time, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei will play the leading roles. He hopes it will be an unforgettable movie.
"When I get older, I can still take it out and look at it. It should be a good memory, haha..."
…………
After returning home in the evening, Lin Nan began to care about the situation on the first day of the release of "Thieves".
"The attendance rate is very good. The media are saying that it is not worse than the first day of "Earthquake", and the reviews are very good."
Ms. Liu reads the script at home during the day, and from time to time Pay attention to the movie thing.
On the laptop, there are many photos taken from the theater, and it can be seen that there is a lot of traffic.
"Then wait until tomorrow morning and let's see how today's results are."
Lin Nan is not the only one waiting for the data of "Thieves".
China Film and Wanda are investors, needless to say.
Large companies such as Huayi, Shanghai Film, and Enlight are also watching, either as competitors or former partners.
The morning of the first day of National Day.
Lin Nan woke up naturally after sleeping because he turned off his phone last night.
"It's 10 o'clock?"
The moment I turned on the phone, dozens of text messages poured in.
It’s all the same message.
"The box office on the first day was 38.2 million..."
Shaking his head that had just woken up, Lin Nan realized the significance of this number.
"The current first-day box office record for domestic films is 36.2 million, which comes from "Earthquake."
This is still the data on September 30, and the daily box office during the National Day will only be higher.
Lin Nan was already thinking about whether "Thieves" could defeat "Earthquake".
…………
The headlines of major portal websites have all been replaced by the first-day box office data of "Thieves".
Click-through rates soared. ""Thieves" regained the first-day box office record for director Lin Nan!"
"If the box office growth continues unabated, Director Lin has a great possibility of regaining the box office championship again... ”
“Can Director Feng’s record only last for two months?”
…………
It can be imagined that Han Sanping and Ye Ning must have smiled crookedly at this time.
Shangying is just the opposite.
"With only the wrong name and no wrong nickname, he is just like a mountain eagle!"
When the secretary reported the data of "The Thief" to Ren Zhonglun, he was usually elegant. Director Ren finally couldn't bear it anymore.
I have been cursing for half an hour.
"We originally had a share in the investment in this movie."
This was the first time the secretary knew about this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"That mountain eagle said that there is only an investment of 130 million, and three companies are enough..."
Ren Zhonglun had a low voice and a frosty look on his face. It was obvious that he was angry at this moment. Very big.
……
The number of drafts for "Thieves" surged instantly.
China Film and Wanda took the initiative to increase their publicity efforts.
Starring actors such as Liu Dehua and Fan Bingbing also posted on Weibo one after another, and did not refuse interviews with reporters.
This time "Thieves" is really likely to surpass "Earthquake" and become the new box office champion.
"The daily box office of "The Empire of Heaven" was discounted by 20% yesterday..."
Wang Zhonglei held his forehead with one hand, feeling powerless.
Before, I was thinking of guaranteeing a minimum of 300 million and sprinting to 400 million. Now it is hard to say whether it can reach 250 million.
"Let the publicity department work harder. There is no reason to be low during the National Day..."
...
Even Lin Nan himself did not expect that the release of the first The box office on the second day, the first day of National Day, was so strong!
"On the first day of the National Day holiday, "Thieves" reported 49 million, and the box office in two days exceeded 85 million!"
The film industry is completely boiling, and domestic movies seem to have really entered a period of high box office...
“This year it will be "Earthquake" first, and then "The Thief".
Even if the former is watered down, it also shows something. The basics of the film market have already risen."
Jiang Wen was in a good mood. He felt that in comparison, the quality of his "Let the Bullets Fly" was not bad,
"Even if the threshold for movie viewing is a little higher, you can still think about 500 million, right?"
Jiang Wen nodded, feeling that his goal was quite reasonable.
……
The siphon effect of the film market has appeared again.
National Day is a big period, but the box office performance of movies such as "The Empire of Heaven" has been extremely weak after entering the National Day period.
A large number of viewers were attracted to "Thieves".
No. 2, 44.8 million;
No. 3, 44.2 million;
No. 4, 46.5 million;
……
...
"His family really occupied the entire National Day schedule?!"
Wang Zhongjun said sternly with a dark face, sitting in front of him were Wang Zhonglei, Xu Ke and several senior executives.
A group of people seem to have completely forgotten the scene when "Earthquake" was released in July.
“How much is the box office now?” Wang Zhongjun asked after a long time.
""Empire of Heaven" is stuck at 232 million and can't move...
Because Zhang Yimou's "The Hawthorn Tree" is a literary film, its impact is not that big. Now it is 134 million.
It is estimated that they can earn around 10 million more before it is released.”
The words of the person in charge of the marketing department made everyone in the office feel even more uncomfortable.
…………
Liu Yifei was holding her laptop and sitting cross-legged on the sofa. Her eyes were slightly red and she would take out a piece of paper from time to time.
Lin Nan went over to watch it. It was a documentary about terminal illness...
Miss Liu’s level of professionalism is acceptable!
"If it doesn't work, why don't we just stop watching it? If you watch too much, you will only be the one who feels uncomfortable."
"No, these documentaries will have some impact on my performance in "The Fault in Our Stars" Very helpful.
It allows me to better take on the role of illness, pain, uneasiness, as well as the fear and yearning for death, until..."
Halfway through the words, Miss Liu raised her head, looked at Lin Nan with red and swollen eyes, and whispered Said:
"Until I met you..."
At this moment, Lin Nan was shocked.
He wanted to ask Miss Liu, what you are talking about is in the script. Or in reality, I am inexplicably moved...
Now that the words have come to this, Lin Nan can't persuade her any more.
Liu Yifei is aggressive and wants to play her role to the maximum extent, which is a good thing.
"Then let me watch it with you."
"Well, sit over a little bit, I want to lean on you..."
…………
The National Day holiday is over in a blink of an eye.
In the movie market, all except "The Thief" were killed.
“In 8 days of release, Director Lin’s film “The Thief” grossed RMB 355 million, sweeping the National Day schedule.”
“Director Lin Nan will have a great chance of getting back the money he earned two months ago. Lost box office record for domestic movies!"
""Hawthorn Tree" was released with a total box office of 144 million..."
""Bongtian Empire" was released, and the total box office stopped at 242 million..."
Online is much more lively.
"I bought this ticket with money, not from my employer. This is the key point."
"It's just like an animal. I'm curious how many assets Director Lin has now?"
……
Phone calls from Han Sanping, Ye Ning and others came in one after another.
There are only three investors in this movie. Not to mention the box office in South Korea, the current domestic data for the past 8 days has already made a profit.
"Lin Nan, we are going to make a lot of money this time, haha..."
Han Sanping was not modest at all, he laughed unscrupulously on the phone.
"By the way, I saw your movie "The Fault in Our Stars" at the General Administration. I think it will be available by the middle of the month."
Lin Nan wanted to laugh a little when he heard this.
It’s really a literary film, and Han Sanping doesn’t like it. Don’t even ask if you can participate in the investment!
Of course, Lin Nan will not accept investment, just like he refused Ye Ning on the phone just now.
He is planning to make this movie with Liu Yifei.
