Chapter 624: The difference in box office on the first day, "Xiu Chun Knife 2" VS "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain"?
In the afternoon, reviews of two movies came online one after another.
Subsequently, a large number of audiences and movie fans participated.
“It’s still the same Zhang Yimou, and it’s still the same Gong Li. “Return” many years later is still so touching.”
“When it comes to tear-jerking, it has to be Director Zhang. And the original “Alive” Same, powerless, depressed, desperate..."
"Gong Li's acting skills are impeccable. He can make people cry without warning. He is worthy of being Gong Huang!"
"If you don't watch until the end, you don't know who the villain is. Director Lin will use the double-edged sword of lies." Sex is used to the extreme. "
"The Invisible Guest" is awesome, reversing and reversing, layer by layer, and it is just like Rashomon."
"The plot is invincible. The course of the movie is a constant repetition of the case, with extremely meticulous details, a peak showdown of IQs!"
"The entire movie strips away the darkness deep in human nature. Exposed, it makes people’s nerves tense and their scalp numb..."
"The two movies have different focuses, so don't miss it. I have to review "The Invisible Guest" again. It's too brain-burning and gives me a headache!"
"It turns out that director Lin Nan won an Oscar The Best Original Screenplay Award is deserved and well-deserved!”
…
The rare head-to-head battle between two top domestic directors made a group of film critics extremely excited.
Because their rare opportunity to show their faces has come.
In short, it's still the same old thing, no good words, just nitpicking. The bigger the director, the more critical and disparaging he is.
First, he accused Zhang Yimou of being exhausted and unable to get out of his comfort zone.
Later, Lin Nan was criticized, saying that "The Invisible Guest" does not have enough positive meaning and has too many dark sides of human nature.
Online audiences and movie fans don’t care what kind of film critic you are or which government agency you work for, they will scold you if caught.
Some people even gave the most “vicious” advice:
It is recommended that these film critics watch the Spring Festival Gala more and receive more "positive" education, and don't go against the masses all day long.
......
Liu Yifei always cares about Lin Nan's movies. She has never cared so much about her own movies.
Whenever she saw someone praising "The Invisible Guest" on Weibo, she would always share it with Lin Nan with a smile on her face, and then give it a like.
Just like that, Miss Liu cuddled up to Lin Nan and spent the entire afternoon doing the same thing.
That silly and naive look was really intoxicating. Anyway, Lin Nan was quite confused and became lazy, which was infected by Liu Yifei.
"The Return" and "The Invisible Guest" are competing for the same schedule and are the headlines of today's film and television entertainment news.
The film industry is also looking forward to the first-day box office data coming out tomorrow to witness the first victory between two generations of great directors.
At around five o'clock in the evening, Yue Jun called:
"Director Lin, this afternoon the company received the above notice of participation. The signatures are the Copyright Administration, the Cyberspace Administration of China, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. , Ministry of Public Security..."
Lin Nan was immediately startled when he heard this series of department names.
“What’s going on?”
“I didn’t say anything specific. I just asked you to attend the meeting later this month. I asked about it and found that not only us, but also major companies in the industry have received it.”< br>
“Does this mean it’s a matter for the entire film and television industry?”
Lin Nan muttered and suddenly realized something.
"What about the Internet industry?"
"They also received it."
Okay, now Lin Nan can probably guess what happened. Didn't Qiu fall down just two days before the broadcast? It should be related to this incident.
"Okay, I understand. You can adjust your schedule and represent the company when the time comes."
"I will go to participate? Is that okay?"
"Since it was sent to the company and I was not asked by name to go, of course it's okay for you to participate."
"That's right, then it's me."
After hanging up the phone , Lin Nan asked Guangguang and Tudou, and sure enough they both had a share.
He hesitated and called Han Sanping again. The latter currently had a false position, but he was definitely well-informed.
“You were there when the conference was held last year. Didn’t you say that we would come up with a solution to the domestic piracy problem within a year? This is the time!”
Putting down the phone, Lin Nan's voice still echoed in Han Sanping's mind.
“In the film and television industry, the era of capital chaos is coming. Fortunately, I am also a capital!”
…………
One night passed, and the circle Many people were a little excited.
It was originally a deserted mid-May, but Lin Nan and Zhang Yimou became a popular date.
Early in the morning, the film and television industry couldn't wait to pay attention to the outcome of yesterday's battle between the two movies.
The headlines on major portal websites and Weibo are all the same.
"Directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Gong Li, Chen Daoming, and Zhang Huiwen, the movie "Return" grossed 21.19 million at the box office on the first day and received rave reviews." "Directed by Lin Nan, the Oscar-winning film "Look" "The Missing Guest" grossed 28.85 million at the box office on its first day, but it is a pity that there is no Mandarin version. "
"The theaters predict that the box office of the two movies will be higher today."
"In the battle between the two major directors, "Return" failed with a box office difference of 7.66 million on the first day."
......
It's out! On the first day of box office, Lin Nan led Zhang Yimou by 7.66 million!
Many filmmakers in the industry have an unexpected but reasonable feeling about this result.
Originally, everyone thought that Zhang Yimou would maintain his position in the field of literary and realistic films.
After all, he has won so many awards, including two Golden Lions, a Golden Bear, countless international A-type film festival awards, the best film of Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, and dozens of best director...
But Lin Nan finally won He is the youngest director with unique box office appeal, the box office record holder for domestic films, and the only mainland director with a box office of 200 million US dollars in the North American market...
Not only that, he is the third person in the industry I once noticed a problem:
I have never compared Lin Nan and Zhang Yimou together because they are different generations.
But this time when we put them together and compared them, everyone realized that among the major domestic directors, Lin Nan’s number of overseas awards seems to be second only to Zhang Yimou?
That's right, it's the second best! This is not meant to be disparaging. You must know that there is a 34-year age difference between the two of them!
......
Although only two movies have released first-day box office figures, the Internet and the film and television industry are extremely busy.
Since the morning, many people have called and sent messages to congratulate and tease Lin Nan.
“You are incredible now. You can crush director Zhang Yimou head-on when it comes to award-winning films.
The Film Association, Directors Guild, Screenwriters Guild... these departments are getting more and more frustrated.
The youngest director is not in any association, how ironic! Haha..."
Listening to Ning Hao's unscrupulous jokes, Lin Nan was also happy.
Because Ning Hao told the truth, among all the film and television industry associations, Lin Nan is now indeed a I didn’t join in, I was free.
But not to mention, there weren’t so many things going on, it felt very good and very comfortable.
At noon, Miss Liu reminded Lin Nan to watch the news.
I don’t know if these media reporters have eaten too much and have nothing to do, so they went to interview other directors.
Ask them what they think about Zhang Yimou's "Return" box office, which is not as good as Lin Nan's "The Invisible Guest".
Good guy, isn’t this inviting hatred?
But don’t mention it, several directors actually accepted interviews and even said a lot of things.
Jia Zhangke, Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei and others all congratulated. Jiang Wen seemed to be drunk and said directly, "This is how it should be!"
And in the end, directors Chen Kaige and Chen Da performed in "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" After the filming was over, I had a long speech.
“Generally speaking, Lin Nan still doesn’t have the experience or depth in art films. A lead at the box office is nothing. He still has a long way to go and needs to learn.
But as a senior, I would be very interested in trying his movies if I have the chance. In the field of genre films, I think I have experience..."
Lin Nan looked at the news on the Internet , extremely speechless.
"Director Chen's tone, does he think that Director Zhang and I are juniors? Do you want to touch each other? Translate, do you mean to give pointers?"
Lin Nan muttered with a smile on his face, suddenly something came to his mind. Lu Yang's words flashed past.
Before "Xiu Chun Dao 2" was launched, Lu Yang had the idea of scheduling the movie on the same day as "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", and even thought about using Chen Kaige as the background board at the box office!
"Hey, "Xiuchundao 2" VS "The Taoist Descends from the Mountain"? Why do I think his idea is so good at this moment? Well, you can try it..."
…………
It's mid-May.
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" at the end of the month and "Overheard 3" at the end of the month are both looking at it with eager eyes.
The promotion of the two movies has also reached its most critical moment.
The previous film had its mainland premiere ceremony in Beijing on the day "The Invisible Guest" was released.
Although Lin Nan didn't go, I heard that Fan Bingbing was in there again.
It's sad to say that in the field of Hollywood movies, Fan Bingbing is not as good as Li Bingbing, at least the latter has a big supporting role.
"Director Lin, Huo Wenxi called, and the promotion of "Ip Man 3" is about to start, 40 days in advance."
"Then let's start the promotion. This summer season is so exciting It’s difficult.”
Lin Nan laughed and complained, this time the pressure on his company is also not small.
China Film failed to resist, and "Transformers 4" was put on the summer schedule and released simultaneously around the world.
And it was released on the same day as "Ip Man 3" and "The Breakup Master".
In addition, there are three Hollywood blockbusters in June, "Edge of Tomorrow", "Godzilla", and "Maleficent"!
These four movies sound scary and make many domestic film producers tremble.
Originally there was a tacit understanding within the industry, and domestic films were also prepared to start repaying debts in the second half of the year.
But who knew that in just one week, two imported blockbusters would be released, and the debt repayment time would be directly advanced to June.
At this point, many film companies are cursing and nostalgic for the time when Han Sanping was still around.
If the mountain eagle is still there, there is a high probability that several Hollywood blockbusters will be released on the same day, allowing them to play slowly and play by themselves.
