Chapter 713 First Day
The only premiere ceremony of "Interstellar" in Asia has ended.
Media and filmmakers from all walks of life unanimously gave this film high reports and evaluations.
It is no exaggeration to describe "Interstellar" with words of praise such as "science fiction masterpiece" and "space epic".
At the same time, Miss Liu naturally became the most eye-catching focus at the premiere ceremony, occupying several headlines and hot searches.
"Christopher Nolan praised Liu Yifei as an excellent and hard-working actress who is born for the international stage."
"Stone Hammer! Director Lin Nan once recommended Liu Yifei to the crew of "Interstellar", and the latter I got the leading actress in the audition!”
“Director Nolan revealed that the team had revised the movie script for Liu Yifei, who was originally the biological daughter of Professor John, the person in charge of the alien project, but later changed it to the adopted daughter! "
"The Asian premiere of "Interstellar" gathered many celebrities, including dozens of top directors and dozens of first-line and super-first-line actors and stars. The star-studded scene was comparable to the closing ceremony of a film festival. "
“Wanda and many other domestic theaters have stated that they will once again increase the release schedule of the imported blockbuster “Interstellar” so that more audiences can enjoy this top-notch science fiction feast.”
...
After an afternoon and an evening of spreading and fermentation, the popularity of "Interstellar" has reached the boiling point.
Countless netizens and movie fans stopped and looked sideways, and their desire to watch the movie became even higher and more urgent.
After all, Nolan’s movies have always been well-received, and this time there are also Liu Yifei and Lin Nan’s additions, so the expectations are immediately raised!
The crew came in a hurry and returned in a hurry. The schedule was only two days.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sent Nolan and others to the airport at around nine o'clock in the morning,
"Lin, I hope you can win the Oscar this time. See you in Hollywood." Nolan and Lin Nan hugged For a moment.
"Thank you."
"Lin, you and Crystal should come over as soon as possible. The awards season has begun, and you can't miss the Oscars PR reception." Jessica reminded with a smile .
“You can’t wait to take the next step, right?” Liu Yifei joked.
"Haha, yes. One Best Supporting Actress is not enough, I want more..."
Hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing. Jessica's thought was quite beautiful. If Leonardo were here, he would definitely look at her with blank eyes.
"Matt, what about you?"
"I have to wait two more days to set off with the crew."
Matt Damon said to the crew, It's "The Great Wall."
It seems that the crew of "The Great Wall" is about to leave for Hollywood to participate in the closed training that will last for several months.
At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed in Lin Nan's mind.
When I go to Hollywood in the future, if I have time, I can go to the exploration class to "increase my knowledge."
"Look at" the ancient Chinese costume props and weapons and armor designed by Legend and Universal.
In addition, he was curious about Zhang Yimou's mentality.
Because as a film director, you will definitely be more or less involved in the preparation of the film, such as costume props, makeup photos, etc.
Watching everyone enter the waiting hall, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and Matt Damon prepared to return separately.
"Lin, Crystal, I want to tell you in advance. I may not be able to follow PR parties and the like, and can only attend occasionally. But for awards ceremonies and the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival, I am sure I can get there. Haha..."
"Okay, no problem."
…………
There are only a dozen hours left before the official release of "Interstellar" in China.
Although it dominates the hot searches, it cannot stop other movies from receiving explosive releases and traffic, such as the movie that brought together two "superstars".
"After several months of preparation, produced by Huayi and directed by Guan Yu, starring Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, Zhang Hanyu, Xu Qing, Liu Hua, Bai Jugang and others, the movie "Old Paoer" was officially released this morning Start!"
"Ning Hao, the new billionaire box office director, will make a rare appearance at the opening ceremony and will make a guest appearance in the movie "Lao Pao Er"!"
"The popular idol star! Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng jointly participated in a commercial film for the first time, as one of the core protagonists, and many powerful actors provided supporting roles for the two. ”
This is the way this circle is, the more popular the person is, the more friends they have.
The movie "Old Paoer" has half of the actors and artists in the entertainment industry trying to flatter it, and it already feels like it is scheduled to be the box office champion as soon as it is released.
Especially the two young ones, the amount of topics online has exploded.
In the eyes of fans, their idol has entered the top domestic film industry. He has collaborated with three major directors in one movie. He is undoubtedly a superstar!
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei did not go home, but went directly to the company. Because Hou Hongliang had just arrived, Jiang Yuerou was waiting for him.
It is said that things get familiar again only once, and Hou Hongliang seemed much calmer and calmer this time when he came here than last year.
When he saw Lin Nan and Liu Yifei walking into the reception room, he stood up and said hello enthusiastically:
"I came in time. In a few days, Director Lin I'm afraid I'm about to leave for Hollywood?"
"Yes, we have this plan. Producer Hou, sit down and chat."
Hou Hongliang reached out and took it. The document bag handed over by the assistant beside me.
"I brought the script of "The Pretender". Director Kong Sheng just started filming "Two Families in Wenzhou" in the past two days. The company is really stretched, so I came to bother Director Lin again."
Lin Nan He didn't pay too much attention to the other party's polite tone, but noticed the name of the script.
“The Pretender?” He picked up the script.
Hou Hongliang nodded, "Yes, Director Li Xue will direct this drama. He directed "All Quiet in Peking" that just aired, but it is not a drama in the noon sun, it is a foreign drama."
After saying this, Hou Hongliang glanced at Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, who were casually flipping through the script, "If there are actors in Shanhai Media who are interested, you can come and give it a try."
Lin Nan knew that this was also a polite comment and didn't take it seriously.
"How much investment does Noon Sunshine lack?"
"At least 60%. The cost of TV series production is very high now, and actors' salaries have risen too fast. Compared with last year, this year is different. The price.
Director Kong Sheng and I are still joking that if this continues, only Internet companies and listed film and television companies will be able to produce TV series. "
Hou Hongliang. Lin Nan did not refute what he said, and even Liu Yifei and Jiang Yanrou nodded in agreement.
Because when it comes to salary alone, TV drama actors do generally earn much more than film actors, much more, and their salaries also rise faster.
Of course, except for the first-tier ones, because the advertising endorsements they can receive will also vary greatly.
The advertising endorsements of front-line movie actors are generally much higher-end and more expensive than those of front-line TV drama actors; actors and actresses involved in both movies and TV series are in the middle; polarization is also very serious.
"Sixty percent, yes. But there is a prerequisite."
Everyone looked at Lin Nan, and Hou Hongliang immediately said: "Director Lin, please speak."
< br>
"Copyright, Lin Nan Pictures has priority in acquiring the webcast copyright."
"No problem." Hou Hongliang reacted instantly.
No one in the industry doesn't know that Lin Nan is Tudou's major shareholder, and Tudou's purchase of film and television copyrights can be said to be a bit "crazy"!
Just like the last "Nirvana in Fire", Lin Nan's opinion will still be asked for the final casting list of "The Pretender".
At the end of the conversation, they heard what Hou Hongliang meant and they had a really good impression of Hu Ge.
Lin Nan couldn't help feeling that Hu Ge was very lucky. Although the people of Tang Dynasty were not able to help him, he was appreciated by the noon sun and had an extra path.
…………
As expected, it’s mid-November, and there are suddenly a lot more social events in the circle.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei returned home and counted the invitations they brought back from Lin Nan Pictures and from Red Star Wu. There were more than a dozen invitations!
They are all invitations to domestic films to be released in the second half of November and December, and they are all from big directors or big crews.
"I'm afraid Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" is a little overdue. I wonder if it's too late? It seems that "The Taiping Wheel" can't be avoided, and Director Han still has to give it some face; Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming's " "Women who act coquettishly are the best", Lou Ye's "Massage"..."
Lin Nan looked through these invitations and muttered helplessly.
Liu Yifei, on the other hand, was answering the phone for Lin Nan, also full of resentment.
"Teacher Jiang, the school is too nimble, isn't it? It's obviously said that you will go back to choose courses and teach in the second half of the year, why do you need to recruit young men to prepare for the art exam... I was very busy during that time, basically I'm sure I'm not in the country..."
Miss Liu expressed her dissatisfaction like a fierce wife protecting her husband.
Lin Nan couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and was very satisfied.
"Haha, Yifei, don't be too busy to refuse. The school knows that you are going to participate in the film festival, and it has no intention of asking him to come back as an art exam examiner.
How about that? Let’s do this. Let him come back in the next two days to record promotional videos and posters for art exam enrollment and publicity. What do you think?”
Liu Yifei pouted and looked at Lin Nan, speechless. He mouthed: "Look, he's retreating in order to advance!"
Lin Nan smiled and nodded, agreeing. This kind of thing can be done in two or three hours.
"Okay, Teacher Jiang. Lin Nan will go back to school in the next two days."
Liu Yifei softened instantly and agreed.
"Okay, I'll wait for him. This time, I will take the photo for him personally.
Also, I have to say something. Yifei, you really look like you are the boss of the family. ! Haha..."
"Huh?"
Miss Liu was stunned for a moment, and then a smile overflowed on her face, and she was very happy, "Well, yes, I have the final say in our family!"
Well, Liu Yifei, who was so smart just now, now Lao Jiang's flattery deceived him into showing his Hanhan attributes.
…………
One night passed, and the film industry seemed to have entered a chilling atmosphere.
Before the Lunar New Year this year, the most powerful imported blockbuster "Interstellar" was officially released. And it will also enter the Lunar New Year period in December, which lasts for 11 days.
Many production companies in the industry are paying attention to the film scheduling data from theaters.
Sure enough, as previously reported by the media, the average film scheduling rate of "Interstellar" on the first day reached 41.2%, which is not a low number!
And looking at the movie information and on-site photos online, the attendance rate is also not low.
After the premiere ceremony on the 10th, Liu Yifei is full of confidence in the domestic film reviews and reputation of "Interstellar". So this morning, she fell asleep as usual and just waited until the afternoon to read movie reviews online, and the first-day box office results will be announced tomorrow!
At the same time, the news that "Wolf Warrior" was submitted for review also came out in the morning, attracting attention and discussion in the industry.
"Exclusively produced by Hongxingwu and directed by Wu Gan, starring Wu Gan, Yu Nan, Ni Dahong and others, the modern military-themed film "Wolf Warrior" has completed post-production, and the finished film has been submitted to the Film Bureau for review "
"It is reported that the movie "Wolf Warrior" is the second commercial film directed by Wu Gen, and it is also the first fully-produced and invested film by Liu Yifei."
......
< br>“Film investment is inherently risky, especially military-themed movies like this, which are really not a hit!”
"I used to follow Director Lin and participate in Lin Nan Pictures' films. This time I invest by myself, and it's still a full investment! Liu Yifei is probably going to lose the first battle!"
"You can't say that, you just Do you know that Director Lin didn’t check it for Miss Liu? Besides, it’s just a movie, so it’s too early to say for sure!” Producer Liu made the right bet, did "Wolf Warrior" make a profit? After all, Wu Gan is still very capable!"
...
Unlike there are many supportive netizens on the Internet! , fans and fans, the industry is full of sighs.
Almost all film and television companies are not optimistic about "Wolf Warrior" and feel that Liu Yifei will destroy Lin Nan's brand this time.
There were many people waiting to watch the excitement, and it could basically be said that they were all going for Lin Nan.
When arriving at the company, Lin Nan also received a call from Wang Changtian, talking about the same thing.
Lao Wang was a thief at first. When Wu Bala invested, he was not optimistic about it, so he didn't give it. In the end, he got the publishing business of "Wolf Warrior".
He came here to comfort Lin Nan, saying that when the time comes, he will ask people to increase distribution efforts, and Wanda will definitely give him face.
"I say, Mr. Wang, please look forward to it. I think Wu Gen's movie is quite good."
Wang Changtian was stunned by one sentence, and for a moment he didn't know what to do. say what.
"Did I get punched in the eye? Don't bluff me? This kind of movie can only make a profit at most, and it's a bit difficult to make money."
"Then just wait and see. It seems that Wu Gen wants to set the schedule for the first half of next year, which won’t be long.”
Lin Nan motioned to the assistant to put the documents on the table while talking on the phone with Wang Changtian.
"Then we'll see when the time comes. Light Distribution, and I also hope that "Wolf Warrior" can make money. I'm calling you today mainly to talk about "囧囧". Xu Zheng is about to open a visiting team, do you want to come along? Show up in the past?"
Lin Nan didn't think much and refused decisively, "Forget it, I will just take my share of the box office and don't participate too much."
Previously. Some time ago, Lin Nan still vividly remembered how Xu Zheng and Dong Ping tried their best to lobby Ning Hao at his home.
If he were to visit a class now, Xu Zheng would probably have to win over him, which would be quite annoying.
"Okay, I'll go there by myself."
"Yes."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan flipped through the documents on the table, some of which required signature.
"Huh? Why is there a post about Golden Horse?"
The assistant took a look and reacted:
"Director Lin, this was just delivered this morning. It opens there in a week, and they said they really hope you can be there as a guest of honor..."
"I've already declined once, how can I agree now? I still refuse as usual."
After saying this, Lin Nan couldn't help but smile:
"Last year, for I returned the favor and went to present the award, and I even criticized their host. They still want me to present the award this year? The host has changed?"
"Haha, it seems that everyone has changed. I’m talking about the mainland movies winning this year, especially Gong Li..." the assistant said with a smile.
…………
In the afternoon, movie reviews of "Interstellar" began to appear online one after another, and gradually swept the screen, igniting the entire Internet.
“Awesome! I can’t say any other words of praise other than awesome.”
“This is real science fiction, a science fiction blockbuster supported by theory! Time Travel Black holes, space jumps, interstellar travel, and the world is so close!"
"Highly recommend the IMAX version, the shots and pictures are simply shocking."
"The man played by Matthew McConaughey. The protagonist, his son and daughter were still children when he left. When they meet again, he has not changed, but his daughter is already old and dying - hundreds of years have passed on the earth..."
< br>
"One hour is 7 years on earth! There are many such legends in our ancient mythology. Once you go into the mountains, you will come back to a changed world, a changed world!"
"No wonder Director Lin Nan recommends it. Producer Liu is going to star in this movie. This is a science fiction masterpiece that will definitely go down in film history!”
“Liu Yifei’s female astronaut is also very eye-catching, she is dashing and beautiful! It’s really heavy. Xiao Longnu is indeed a ‘martial arts person’!”
“Have you seen the biceps that Liu Yifei posted on Weibo? I feel sorry for Lin! Five minutes..."
"Uh...very good, Director Lin, hold on!"
"Good guy, will Director Lin Nan be beaten by Liu Yifei? I'm looking forward to it..."
"Off topic... This movie is destined to be a box office hit, it's so awesome!"
< br>...
Facts have proved that the reputation of "Interstellar" has completely exploded, and it has been completely one-sided!
The actresses in the industry already knew about this result at the premiere ceremony the day before yesterday, but now they can't help but feel sour when they see the heated discussion on the Internet.
No matter who the heroine of this movie is, she is destined to be one of the masterpieces of her career.
There is no doubt that your net worth and status will skyrocket!
“Finding a boyfriend or husband with a great director is indeed a shortcut...”
“Hollywood S-level production, heroine, global distribution, great reputation, and box office will definitely not be low. ...She has been promoted to an international celebrity!”
……
In the afternoon, when Lin Nan returned home. As expected, Ms. Liu was happily scrolling through Weibo there, rubbing her cheek against the cat in her arms from time to time.
"Everyone on the Internet praises you, right? And that group of people in the circle?" Lin Nan joked.
"Yeah, yeah, you guessed it right! They said this movie has the potential to break 1 billion in China. If that's true, this will be my second movie."
Liu Yifei Said with joy.
“After seven days of release in North America, the box office is close to 100 million U.S. dollars. Excluding the mainland, the global box office is approaching 200 million U.S. dollars...”
Listening to the data reported by Lin Nan, Liu Yifei's eyes widened a bit. She was very pretty, and with that delicate face, it was simply too tempting.
“This kind of movie is rare. I don’t know when the next time will be. But this time, we caught it.”
Holding Liu Yifei’s face, Lin Nan couldn’t bear it After taking a bite, Miss Liu immediately turned her back and pushed her down on the sofa...
Even the cats meowed away. They were probably cursing in their hearts, after all, they had been pets. The hospital cannot afford to see this kind of scene!
…………
The next morning, the entire film industry was paying close attention to the box office data of "Interstellar".
When seeing the movie information on the Internet, everyone has mixed feelings.
Especially for the producers who have movies to be released in the second half of the month and early December, it is as uncomfortable and disgusting as eating a fly, because this opponent is a bit too powerful!
"Produced by Warner, directed by Christopher Nolan, starring Matthew McConaughey, Liu Yifei, Jessica Chastain...Matt Damon and others.
Investment The US$170 million space science fiction blockbuster "Interstellar" grossed US$110 million at the box office on its first day of release in China, and was well received by the entire Internet!"
"Wanda and other theaters have once again increased the number of films scheduled for "Interstellar" today, and the proportion of films scheduled has reached as high as 45%!" Domestic blockbusters such as "The Taiping Wheel (Part 1)" and "One Step Away" are bound to face huge pressure and challenges! ”
……
The theater chain doesn't care whether it's an imported film or a domestic film. As long as it makes money, it will schedule more films for you.
They even prefer imported films, because the producers of imported films share 25% instead of 43%. While the distributor China Film or Huaxia Film Company earns more, the theaters will naturally also be able to share more profits!
It was another low-spirited morning. Liu Yifei was hiding in bed refreshed, with only her head exposed, and her big eyes flashed at Lin Nan.
"Sure enough, there are only tired cows."
"Hahaha, you are talking nonsense."
Liu Yifei smiled and scolded, humming and turning the pages of the small book. White eyes, the exposed shoulders are extremely white and smooth, and the attractive buttocks line can be clearly seen from the waist wrapped in the quilt.
The goblin is right in front of you, but Master Lin has done his best.
It's like that every time. I have the advantage in the early stage. I charge into the battle again and again, killing the enemy and retreating, abandoning their armor;
But in the mid-term, we start to be evenly matched. You come and I go. ;
When it comes to the later stage, it will be terrible. Attack and defense are in different positions, and the initiative lies in the hands of the goblin in front of you. He can take it and take it...
"Okay, you Just stay in bed, I have to go to the company.”
Lin Nan looked in the mirror and saw that there seemed to be no bags or dark circles under his eyes, and then he said with relief.
"Yeah, yeah, I can't wait long. Today I made an appointment with Changchang to go shopping together."
Liu Yifei said a little arrogantly, she shrank into the quilt, Stretched.
Then, a long leg popped out unexpectedly and rubbed Lin Nan gently, giggling.
“Since you don’t want to sleep in anymore, let’s get up.”
As he spoke, Lin Nan grabbed the long smooth legs with a joking expression on his face.
"Oh, no, I haven't worn it yet..."
