Chapter 466: Invite the Navy
The news about the premiere of "囧囧" spread.
First, Xu Zheng said that he had completely defeated "The King's Feast", and then Lin Nan said that he could rival all the Lunar New Year movies.
The key is that Jiang Wen came out to join in the fun and didn't think it was a big deal. He said that he agreed with Lin Nan and Xu Zheng's views. There were a lot of blah blah blah, and the meaning was very straightforward, just to fuck Lu Chuan!
The popularity of public opinion directly suppressed the scattered reviews of "1942" and "The King's Feast" on the Internet.
"How can Lin Nan be so loud? It's not a movie he directed."
"To be honest, all the movies produced by Lin Nan Pictures so far have really made money. Oh, by the way. , except for that movie "Blind Mountain". But when I invested in that movie, I didn't think about making money."
...
Many film companies in the industry are talking about it.
Many people believe that what Xu Zheng said may come true, but what Lin Nan said is a bit too much like hype.
Even more netizens joined in the fun.
“The Lost Journey is very good to watch. The original cast’s Lost in Thailand is totally worth entering the theater...”
“Who will go to see The Feast of the King? "Nanjing" was made by that piece of shit!"
"I just finished watching "1942". It's very good, but I suggest you think carefully, especially not to go with the whole family, it's too miserable..."< br>
……
.........
Lin Nan was currently leaning on the rocking chair in the garden, basking in the mild sun and reading the news.
The premiere of "囧囧" ended yesterday, and the two movies have been released for one day.
At this moment, in the film and television entertainment information on the portal website, the headline news is the box office data.
"On the first day of its release, "1942" grossed 26.2 million at the box office. It was well received by the industry and made people cry."
"Director Feng Xiaogang used "1942" to trace back that period of painful history, which was the reality of millions of people being displaced and starving to death due to natural disasters."
...
< br>Lin Nan admitted that Feng Xiaogang's "1942" was not bad.
Every audience has their own judgment criteria, but in front of this movie, the worst comments from the audience are "I don't want to go into the theater and make myself uncomfortable" or "I won't watch it a second time."
Except for those "things" that are not human, their comments are definitely not included in the audience's evaluation, and they actually question the authenticity of this matter!
This is the highest-rated movie among Feng Xiaogang's works so far, and professional websites give it uniformly high scores.
But there is a saying that is very good. If you have an unparalleled reputation, the box office will be...
"26.2 million!"
At this time, within Huayi, The atmosphere was extremely cold.
"1942", which cost a total of 210 million and took nearly eight months to shoot, only had 26.2 million on the first day?
This number, let alone overturning Lin Nan's "Genius Gunslinger", let alone 1 billion, it is impossible to even make back the money.
Wang Zhongjun’s eyes were bloodshot and his face was gloomy, as if he wanted to eat someone. The same was true for Wang Zhonglei sitting beside him.
The executives were silent and did not dare to speak.
Only Feng Xiaogang was relatively calm, and even felt a smile on his lips.
“Can you find a way to apply for an extension key?”
"Unless by the time it is released, the box office will be very good, at least 700-800 million, right?" Wang Zhonglei said uncertainly.
The key is that among domestically invested films, the only one that has received an extension of one month or more, except for films endorsed by the government, is "Pacific Rim."
But "Pacific Rim" only got the chance after it broke 1 billion in one month.
Even for the more powerful "Genius Gunman", the film bureau only gave it an extra week because it was taking care of other domestic films.
Hearing this, Wang Zhongjun closed his eyes and took a breath, "Add another 20 million in publicity funds and do it immediately."
"Okay." Wang Zhonglei nodded and responded.
"Director Feng."
"Director Wang, I'm here."
"The name you want, "1942" is given to you, and the company has given it to you. We have the best ability to support you, but Huayi is a listed company. You have also seen that in just one day, the stock price fell below the lowest price in a year..."
Several executives here know that Feng Xiaogang's Movies are a barometer of Huayi's stock price.
Just like what was said in the circle back then, as soon as Feng Xiaogang caught a cold, Wang Zhongjun immediately coughed.
Not only is the movie losing money now, the stock price has dropped by nine points, and everyone here is a shareholder.
Feng Xiaogang understood what Wang Zhongjun meant, and then smiled bitterly, "I will immediately prepare the next movie, a purely commercial film, a comedy."
In the past, the film industry often took second place. Compared with Feng Xiaogang and the Wang brothers, Zhang is a combination of a great director and a producer.
But unlike that fool Zhang Weiping, who did not restrict Zhang Yimou with a strict contract, Huayi's side is different.
Although Feng Xiaogang received stocks and high remuneration, he also had an extremely strict contract, a binding contract.
"Well, if Director Feng needs anything, please tell Zhonglei at any time, as soon as possible."
"Okay."
……
…… ……
Lin Nan felt that he was being drained and needed to replenish his body or exercise.
A Golden Horse Award, how excited are you for so many days?
"Here."
A white and delicate hand reached out to Lin Nan's eyes, holding a peeled apple between her slender fingers.
“Thank you, Producer Liu.”
Liu Yifei was very energetic and sat down next to Lin Nan, "Look, that movie "The King's Feast" was really miserable."
Lin Nan nodded, it was quite miserable.
Although the box office of "1942" is far from its previous boasting goal, its reputation among others is so good that it explodes. What's in "The King's Feast"?
Liu Yifei has already read the comments online.
"It's so mysterious, is the director making a movie for himself? Who can understand?"
"It's so blatant, there's something wrong with it."
"Not all directors can write scripts , the script written by Lu Chuan is really rubbish."
"The story is terrible, the plot and emotions are high and low, and the characterization is too thin. It all depends on the audience's imagination. So what kind of movie are you making?"
“Nima, what a piece of shit, you’re cheating money!”
"The intention is very high, but Riku Taro is incompetent, he can't hold it!"
...
"What was said at the premiere of "囧囧" yesterday is right, it is no longer needed' The word "complete victory" is a bit flattering to Lu Chuan, who should have easily mastered "The King's Feast"!"
Unlike the original "Nanjing", Lu Chuan still has a large number of die-hard fans. "The King's Feast" received overwhelmingly negative reviews.
With such a luxurious cast, he directed a bad movie.
Poor Xingmei and Yinghuang, especially Yinghuang, Yang Shoucheng only contributed 70% of the total investment of 140 million.
But the box office on the first day was only 8.96 million. What are you doing? Playing with a hammer!
"I really want to know how Director Yang is feeling right now, haha..."
Lin Nan finished the apple in two or three mouthfuls and threw it into the trash bin.
Really talking about Lao Yang, Lao Yang is here!
The mobile phone on the table buzzed, "Director Yang's phone number."
After Liu Yifei handed the mobile phone to Lin Nan, she changed into a comfortable position and rested her head on Lin Nan's lap.
Several cats also got into her arms and curled up in a ball, meowing.
"Director Yang, why did you remember to call me?"
"I kind of know why Director Lin had that expression when he heard that I had voted for Lu Chuan's movie. . Feelings mean 'do something for yourself'. ”
Yang Shoucheng's tone at this time was exactly the same as Han Sanping's tone after he was tricked by the gang in Hong Kong Island.
"Haha, it's just like paying tuition. That guy has never made a commercial film. This is his first time. What's more, it's a costume commercial film and he writes his own script, haha..."
Lin Nan complained with a smile.
"Made, I have been taken advantage of emotionally, so I gave him some training."
Although Yang Shoucheng is so old, he is still full of energy when he speaks dirty words.
"Anyway, there are a lot of filmmakers and directors who can't deal with him. His "Nanjing" was so disgusting."
"Director Lin, what is the schedule for "One Man's Martial Arts"?"< br>
Sure enough, when Yang Shoucheng called, he couldn't just say one thing.
"In the first half of next year, the specific time will be decided then. Does Mr. Yang still want to ask about "Ip Man 3"?"
Liu Yifei raised her hand and handed over a grape. Put it into Lin Nan's mouth.
"Director Lin guessed it, yes, this project has been talked about for so long."
"After "One Man's Martial Arts" was released, the project of "Ip Man 3" was planned." Lin Nan gave the answer.
Hearing this answer, Yang Shoucheng breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, this was his real purpose.
The filming of "One Man's Martial Arts" has been completed and it can be released anytime. The undecided ones are what Ying Huang cares about.
Especially now, "The King's Feast" has started at the box office like this, making Yang Shoucheng eager to seek other comforts, such as "Ip Man 3".
After chatting for another ten minutes, the two ended the call.
…………
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei leaned on each other, lazily.
"Mom will come back from her hometown the day after tomorrow."
"Well, then we will pick her up at the airport."
As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, Liu Yifei leaned close to his ear, as if she was afraid of being heard by some cats.
Looking at Liu Yifei who looked coy, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you laughing? You laugh again."
The gentle look just now turned fierce in an instant.
"Haha, I'm not laughing. I understand, I understand. I just can't sleep alone at night, woo hoo..."
Before Lin Nan could finish speaking, he was thrown onto the sofa.
Miss Liu sat completely on top of him, covering his mouth with her two tender white hands, with a rosy and shy face, "And she said..."
…… …
Outside, something strange happened.
Suddenly there were a lot of movie reviews of "The King's Feast" popping up, and they were all positive.
Five-star reviews from major websites were posted all at once.
In just one day, "The King's Feast" went from a one-sided negative review to a polarized state of positive and negative reviews.
In the evening, some online media directly reported:
"The King's Feast, directed by director Lu Chuan, is suspected of hiring a navy army. It received a large number of positive reviews online and a large number of reviews on film review websites. Give it a five-star rating..."
When the news came out, it instantly made the headlines.
From the perspective of the film and television industry, whether it is true or false, this is big news. After all, the movie has only been released for one day!
Just when everyone thought that Lu Chuan would stand up and firmly deny it, Lu Chuan really stood up.
It’s just that his operation makes people wonder if there is feces in his brain? !
Lu Chuan directly admitted on Weibo: "Yes, we did invite the navy..."
