Chapter 439: Carrying the banner
“The first-day box office of "The Genius" reported 66.5 million."
"The Genius set a new first-day box office record for domestic films!"
“After two years, the film market once again welcomed a high-grossing domestic commercial film, and this time it was still directed by Lin Nan.”
“Liu Yifei performed perfectly and successfully played the role of a leading female protagonist... …”
"Shanhai Media's new actor, Reba, makes his big screen debut, which is quite eye-catching."
...
The media reports are much more serious than netizens.
Movie Channel personally announced, ""The Genius" will carry the banner for a number of domestic films in the second half of the year!"
66.5 million!
The entire film and television industry is frightened by this number. Can domestic films really achieve this?
You must know that the first-day domestic box office of "Pacific Rim" was only 57 million!
“The topic of this movie is too high. In our exam-oriented education environment, all viewers will more or less resonate with it!”
Many producers and Directors are all analyzing why the first-day performance of "The Genius" was so abnormal.
Jackie Chan's "Twelve Zodiac Signs", Feng Xiaogang's "1942", Lu Chuan's "The King's Feast", Wang Jing's "Big Shanghai", Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster"...
In Mainland China and Hong Kong Island, all well-known directors who are going to make movies within half a year are paying attention to "The Genius" right now.
This commercial film seems to have opened up new horizons for everyone. It turns out that the market for domestic films has reached this level!
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are both very busy at the moment, because the phone calls have not been disconnected, and they are all here to congratulate.
The media put the known earnings of "Genius Gunslinger" on the front page.
“Copyright income: 83.65 million US dollars!”
"Post-roll advertising revenue: 86 million yuan!"
In just one month, the industry will have a clear idea of the film's final profit figure.
Film and television companies in many circles are looking at this news eagerly, going crazy with envy.
......
Reba came to Lin Nan Pictures from the Shanhai Media floor and saw Liu Yifei.
"Sister Yifei, I have received six announcements and four advertising endorsements, hahaha..."
Miss Liu liked this sweet-mouthed girl very much and said with a smile: "Come on, I'm optimistic about you. "
"Thank you, Sister Yifei."
Reba followed Jiang Yuerou, smiling and looking really happy.
In the office, Lin Nan was taking a call from Han Sanping.
"...it will be released on the 25th, and there are only seven days in this month. I said that I have no idea about the week at the end of next month. Do you believe it, Director Han?"
A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone, " Of course I don’t believe it.”
Han Sanping was laughing one second, but became serious the next:
“But you have to know that domestic movies suffered such losses in the first half of the year. How many companies have suffered heavy losses, and everyone is counting on the second half of the year."
"If you get another one-month extension key, what will other companies think? You are really your biological son, they are all adopted. ”
What Han Sanping said makes sense. The film bureau will indeed consider the interests of most production companies and movies at this special time.
The bureau must give priority to the latter if a family makes enough money and a group of people have enough food and clothing.
Lin Nan chuckled: "Did Mr. Han not listen carefully just now? I didn't say I wanted a one-month extension, I was talking about the week at the end of next month."
The other end of the phone paused for a moment:
“Huh? Well, I really have an inertial mindset. When it comes to extending the key, I subconsciously think it’s one month.
If it was just for that week, it would be relatively easy. "
Lin Nan doesn't ask for two months, his goal is five full weeks, counting the week at the end of July, and the whole month of August, which is just right.
"Then I'm just going to declare it. You have to help me. "
" Just report it and I will communicate with the Children's Bureau.
Your movie has made a lot of money. Today I met with Lao Ren and the others, and we were all talking about your "Genius Gunman"..."
After rambling for another two minutes, Lin Nan could clearly hear the sourness in Han Sanping's words. It was so sour.
"Director Han agreed to help?"
Liu Yifei placed a glass of water in front of Lin Nan and asked expectantly.
“Yes, agreed.”
Lin Nan looked at Jiang Yuerou, Reba and her agent, “Is it signed?”
"It's signed. She has been very busy in the past two months."
Jiang Yuerou looked at the signed artists beside her and said with satisfaction.
"That's good. By the way, Director Jiang, please stop by the Film Bureau and apply for a one-week extension key for "The Genius Gunfighter" until the end of August."
" Got it.”
Half an hour later, Jiang Yuanrou and Reba left the company and went about their own business.
Lin Nan drove Liu Yifei, and the two of them prepared to go to the appointment. Shu Chang, Zhu Yawen, and Luo Jin have already arrived at the private restaurant.
…………
Chen Kaige looked expressionless as he looked at the data handed over by Chen Hong and fed back by the theaters.
""Search" stopped at 156 million, and the daily box office is now only a few thousand yuan, so let's start painting." Chen Hong suggested.
This kind of initiative to release the movie can also be regarded as saving face. The box office is several thousand yuan a day, and the media still has to report it, which is a bit glaring.
"Then let's show it." Chen Kaige nodded and agreed.
He thought of the news he had seen in the morning. "Famous Four" had risen from 202 million to 212 million, and it was released accordingly.
This was a bit of a slap in the face. At the premiere of "Search", he even belittled the other party.
......
The results of "Genius Gunner" came out on the second day, setting a new high.
"The box office of "The Genius" the next day was 72 million, and it has been rising all the way. Director Lin Nan may really be able to get the 46% share ratio again like he did with "Pacific Rim"!"
"Reported by Hollywood According to the news, "The Gunslinger", which was released in Europe and the United States yesterday, has attracted the attention of the College Board. The committee stated that there have been no similar cases of SAT test cheating in the movie, and the examination room discipline will be stricter in the future..."
……
Here in China, the Internet has caused a sensation again.
"Director Lin is awesome..."
""The Genius" is so powerful that it alarmed the officials over there."
"Liu Yifei is amazing, another masterpiece with a heroine!"
......
The Internet was in a commotion, and Lin Nan and others seemed to have become heroes instantly.
At this time, five people were having a dinner together and feasting.
"Thanks to Director Tolin and Producer Liu, I can be considered a member of the front-line team. Come and pay homage to you."
Luo Jin raised his glass and drank it with a smile All.
"Then you have to work hard, you are the only one here who is not very stable, be careful of falling."
Zhu Yawen joked with a playful look.
"You have such a crow's mouth." Luo Jin said angrily.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that "The Genius" will not be worse at the box office than "The Thief".
And Luo Jin has a lot of roles in both movies, so it is natural for him to step into the front line.
"I'm afraid I'll have to call someone to pick us up soon. Sissi, if I drink too much, it's up to you."
Lin Nan raised the red wine and looked at Liu Yifei's ruddy face cheek and said warmly.
"Don't worry, I promise to take you back."
Liu Yifei winked at Lin Nan and said very confidently.
Hearing this, Lin Nan was a little speechless.
Miss Liu is not only good at fighting, but also has a good drinking capacity. She is better than him anyway. This is something Lin Nan has known for a long time.
Those who practice martial arts are different!
...
On the third day, the box office revenue was 75 million;
On the fourth day, another 75.5 million was collected.
In just four days of release, "The Gunslinger" has already shown its overwhelming power.
After this movie, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei will most likely have one or two more titles.
The first director of a domestic film with a box office of one billion.
The first producer and heroine of a domestic film with a box office of over one billion.
As the influence of the film continues to expand, the name Reba, a newcomer, is also known to more audiences and insiders.
Although she only made a cameo appearance for a few minutes, Lin Nan brought her along as part of the main creative lineup to promote the show.
“One movie gave a newcomer with only a few minutes of footage a second-tier reputation. Although it was only short-lived, it was really incredible.”
As Cai Yinong spoke, he couldn't help but look at the people in the "Xuanyuan Sword" crew in front of him, especially Nazha, who had just returned from participating in "Base Camp".
“It doesn’t have to be short-lived. There will be “Passengers” next. I heard that there are five people in this drama. Director Lin’s Reba has a lot of roles, and she is considered a supporting actress.”
That is to say, Hu Ge can chat happily without worrying about being criticized.
Sure enough, Cai Yinong only glared at him and said nothing more.
“Don’t be anxious, take your time, there is always a chance.”
Everyone knows who Cai Yinong said this to.
I saw Nazha nodded, "Yes, I know, Mr. Cai."
""The Ballad of the Desert" has been canceled again, and the plot needs to be completely changed and deleted. , Lao Hu and Shi Shi, please stay for a while, the others can go back and rest..."
.........
"Director Lin, I have made my choice."
Guo Fan called over and first congratulated "Genius Gunslinger" on the success, and then got down to business.
Lin Nan was working as a shit shoveler at the moment, tilting his head and holding his mobile phone, "Which one?"
"I think I should do more on the basis of science fiction. Drama, emotional drama."
"Got it, that soft science fiction?"
"Yes."
"Okay, you should prepare yourself first and have a plan. It's almost time to come back to the company to find me."
"Okay, Director Lin."
Hearing the blind tone, Lin Nan I straightened my head out of habit and heard a "pop" sound.
The mobile phone fell into the dustpan, which was just shoveled in...
“Fuck me!”
Lin Nan breathed out the fragrance subconsciously.
He glanced at the cats with unusually beautiful pupils surrounding him, and murmured with a wry smile: "How about I starve you all?"
What a coincidence, At this time, another call came in, and the phone buzzed and vibrated.
Lin Nan glanced at the dirty screen in the dustpan. On it were the words "Liu Dehua".
For a moment, Lin Nan didn't know what to do, and it took a few seconds for him to react.
"Brother, it's not my fault. I'll call you back later."
Lin Nan chuckled helplessly. It must be the Golden Horse thing again, right? !
