Chapter 566 The Visitor of the Noon Sun
"The Dragon King of the Dragon King" was released for 23 days, and the total box office reached 570 million, but the daily box office completely fell below 2 million.
Just when everyone in the industry thought that the box office must stop at the 600 million threshold, and felt a little regretful, Huayi's operation made everyone's eyes shine.
In order for this movie to successfully pass the 600 million mark, Hua Yi rarely spent a lot of effort and money.
Wang Zhonglei went back and forth to the film bureau several times for several days, and then he successfully applied for an extension key. It was not easy, and he had always been rejected before.
The release date of "The Dragon King" has also been postponed from the 27th of the end of the month to the 10th of next month, giving it an extra two weeks of release time.
This is just a normal method. The most cruel thing is that Huayi took the initiative to lower the account sharing ratio with the theaters.
It was announced that from October 21st to the end of the film, the company will only get 30% of the box office revenue in these twenty days, while the theaters can get 70%.
Huayi is trying to gain sufficient support from theaters in arranging films by directly offering 13% of the divisible box office profits within 20 days.
Companies in the industry can see that the theater chain will definitely not lose money, but Huayi will definitely make a profit.
Because once the box office of "Shendu Dragon King" reaches 600 million, it will be completely different.
The extra box office is nothing at all. The real big deal comes from the soaring stock price.
Of course Lin Nan is happy to see the results, which is also a good thing for him.
"I'm still cursing, but this is over 100 million?"
The news of "Special Identity" caught Lin Nan's eyes.
After seven days, relying on black and red, the box office of this movie successfully exceeded 100 million.
Although the movie is doomed to lose money, Starlight is still working hard to promote it and promote Jingtian.
Because this time the blame cannot be placed on Jing Tian at all. Instead, a large number of netizens are still sympathizing with her and being tricked by Zhen Zidan's team.
The person who has suffered the greatest negative impact is undoubtedly the "Zhen Kung Fu" who made a lot of nonsense in front of the media before the movie was released. Now its true colors have been completely revealed.
Since "Ip Man 2", all the movies he starred in are the same as before "Ip Man 1". He made one movie and lost money. many.
The title of "box office poison" was once again attached to Donnie Yen by the industry. In just one week, his net worth plummeted and he fell into the second tier.
But maybe in Zhen Zi’s eyes, he still has one last chance to make a comeback.
That is the 3D mythical blockbuster that has just been scheduled for the Spring Festival in the past two days, with an investment of 500 million and a production cycle of 3 years: "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", with Donnie Yen in it Play Sun Wukong.
Lin Nan knew that this movie would also be one of the competitors of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", but he was not lying.
Seeing that the Lunar New Year schedule is not far away, many films in the schedule have begun to prepare for movie promotion.
Ye Ning's call went directly to Lin Nan.
"Director Lin, "New Police Story 2013" is going to hold a media meeting. Would you like to take the time to come over?"
"Media meeting? It doesn't need to be so laborious, right? I Let the rest of the company pass.”
Lin Nan thought for a while and chose to refuse. Isn’t this just overkill?
“That’s okay, then let Director Yue come over?”
"Okay."
Lin Nan hung up the phone and left the office, preparing to go home.
"Inform Director Yue and ask him to represent the company at the media meeting of "New Police Story 2013"."
"Okay, Director Lin."
… ………
Since the filming of "Interstellar" was completed at the beginning of the month, Liu Yifei has been living a "decadent" leisurely life for about twenty days.
Finally today, she went to participate in the talk show on a whim. In her words: "Just go out for a walk and go for a drive."
When Lin Nan came back, Liu Yifei was Sit on the sofa and apply nail polish carefully.
There are already some conspicuous rose colors on the white bare feet, which is full of girlishness.
Afraid to disturb her, Lin Nan's voice became softer, "Do you want my help?"
"No, you painted it wrong last time." Liu Yifei raised her head, rolled her eyes, and decisively refused.
"Haha, it's not like you said it was itchy, you kept moving..."
Looking at the "murderous" look in his eyes, Lin Nan smiled and closed his mouth.
"I went to the movie channel today and talked about the crew and some things related to "Interstellar". They said, when are we going to go together?"
Liu Yifei suddenly put on a smile and looked at Lin Nan with expectation in her expression.
"Together? That's a good idea. It seems like we've never been on a show together!"
Lin Nan nodded and said with certainty.
The main reason is that he rarely participates in talk shows. He has gone to movie channels many times before to promote movies.
"Well, next time I have a chance, I'll come with you."
Hearing this, the smile on Liu Yifei's face grew wider, she nodded happily and continued to apply nail polish.
As soon as Lin Nan sat down next to Miss Liu, a call came from Wang Changtian.
"Director Wang, Director Han used to like to make phone calls after get off work in the afternoon, why do you do the same now?" Lin Nan complained.
"Haha, let me tell you, "The Breakup Master" is about to be finished."
"What?" Lin Nan thought there was something wrong with his ears.
How long has it been? How many days are there until a month, right? Is this going to be finalized?
"You heard it right, Deng Chao's "The Breakup Master" will be finished in the next two days." Wang Changtian repeated it again.
“Isn’t this too fast?”
After saying this, Lin Nan immediately realized that his mind had not turned around. He once again thought of the other party's movies as "serious" movies.
Wang Changtian smiled, changed the subject, and talked about the main purpose of the call:
“Ask Ning Hao when Zhao Liying’s scenes will be finished, as soon as possible Come back to promote.”
There is no need to ask this question again, Lin Nan answered directly:
"Probably in the middle to late next month. I told Ning Hao to adjust the shooting sequence and finish Zhao Liying's scenes as soon as possible. "
"Well, that's good, that's good." After getting the answer he wanted, Wang Changtian didn't talk much and hung up after a while. "A commercial film was almost shot in twenty days?"
After applying nail polish, Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan and asked in shock.
You must know that Lin Nan's fastest commercial film was "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", but it also took a month.
Moreover, preparations were started more than 30 days in advance, nearly 300 people were used, and Lin Nan and Guo Fan were filmed in two lines, which greatly shortened the time.
“Normal, low-cost comedy, not pursuing acting skills, the script is also a patchwork of various jokes, of course it will be fast.
It may be a hit, but forget about the reputation, it will only be bad Or worse," Lin Nan said with certainty.
…………
Another two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Many people in the industry posted the invitation to Zhu Yawen’s wedding on Weibo. After all, it was an A-list actor getting married, and he was also Lin Nan’s best friend.
“According to insiders, director Lin Nan and Luo Jin, two classmates, will serve as best men at Zhu Yawen’s wedding. This is also the first time that the two have served as best men.”
"At that time, in addition to many actors and actresses in the circle, all members of the 02-level Nortel Performance Department will also be present to participate in the wedding. This will be the first time that the 02-level performance department will reunite after 7 years of graduation..."
……
"Your uncle, I will be your best man. It's fine if you don't help me with the clothes. You also asked me to dress low-key and not steal your limelight?"
Lin Nan held the phone, yelled curses in the garden. Zhu Yawen, this bitch, is just kicking his nose in the face.
"My Director Lin, who makes you a great director? Once you stop there, not only reporters, but maybe the people in the industry will only see you. Brother, I am getting married, and of course the protagonist must be It's me! Hahaha..."
It made sense. Lin Nan couldn't refute it, but he changed the subject and replied:
"You just gave it away. When an invitation comes, Yifei and I will only give one share of the money.”
"Oh, don't, I'll give you a replacement..."
Before Zhu Yawen could finish speaking, Lin Nan hung up: "Haha, it's a small thing."
《 The news about the media meeting of "New Police Story 2013" was also reported.
Jing Tian plays Jackie Chan’s daughter in the movie. When the latter was interviewed by the media and talked about the love of parents for their children, something went wrong.
I don’t know whether the eldest brother was speaking with emotion or just following his words. He actually mentioned his "little dragon girl" very rarely and showed great apology and guilt.
But when reporters continued to ask questions, he quickly changed the topic to his son, wife and parents.
At this moment, everyone on the Internet is talking about this matter. Is the eldest brother planning to leave property to his "illegitimate daughter"?
But it’s hard to say whether the original partner will agree or not. That person is also a powerful person!
…………
Liu Yifei is already preparing a dress for Zhu Yawen’s wedding banquet, and even asked Lin Nan if she would like someone to order clothes for him.
"No need, just wear whatever you want. If you steal his limelight, why don't you get angry with me?"
"Haha, you two."
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei The slim figure walking back and forth in the cloakroom, choosing clothes, is very pleasing to the eye.
However, Yue Jun's call broke his state of mind.
"Director Lin, do you have time there? You may need to go back to the company."
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei signaled that they would go downstairs and wait. Ms. Liu waved her hand: "Well, you can go."
"What's the matter, do you want me to go back?"
"Producer Hou Hongliang of Noon Sunshine is here and wants to see you."
Lin Nan had an impression when he heard the name of the company.
This company was just established the year before last, and almost all the staff came from Shanying, a long-established state-owned enterprise specializing in the production of TV series.
Hou Hongliang is also a well-known figure in the TV drama circle and a veteran of Shanying.
"Are there people in the company now? How many?"
"Yes, producer Hou Hongliang is in the company with an assistant."
"Okay Come on, please wait for me. I’ll be there soon.”
“Okay, Director Lin.”
Lin Nan looked at the people on the second floor and shouted: "Sissi, I'm going back to the company."
"Are you coming back for lunch? Mom and the nanny will be back soon."
"No need to wait for me."
......
Lin Nan drove the car and headed straight to the company.
To be honest, Lin Nan Pictures has never had any dealings with this company, which was established less than two years ago.
Even though the other person is an old man in the film and television industry, we have only met each other on some large occasions, and we are just acquaintances at most.
In fact, the person who is most familiar with Lin Nan Pictures is probably Jiang Yuerou. After all, she used to be in the TV drama industry.
"Producer Hou, you have tea first. Director Lin has just set off and it should take more than half an hour to arrive."
Yue Jun sat opposite Hou Hongliang with a smile on his face. Made a gesture of invitation.
"Director Yue is very polite. I came here today to ask for something."
Almost everyone in the circle knows about the butler of Lin Nan Pictures.
As Hou Hongliang spoke, he looked squarely at the person in front of him: Yue Jun, graduated from Nortel School of Management with a major in production and marketing. He was originally an unknown person in Qingying Film Studio. Since he followed Lin Nan has completely skyrocketed!
Hou Hongliang came here today with a mission. Noon Sunshine has been established for more than a year and is in urgent need of works to open up the situation.
It was hard to see some high-quality stuff, but when I inquired about it, I found out that it had been pre-empted by Lin Nan Pictures at the beginning of the year!
…………
During this period, my work and rest schedules were indeed disrupted. After staying up late, you won't be able to regain your energy. There will most likely be only one chapter today.
