Chapter 782: Fear of Losing the Box Office Championship
Without filming or working, Lin Nan took Liu Yifei on a vacation trip, as did most of the crew.
From the Grand Palace to the Temple of Dawn, from Crocodile Pond to Siam Square, the two of them are not prepared to leave any of Bangkok’s famous attractions behind.
Playing, eating and drinking, taking photos, playing around, laughing and joking...
On the way, the number of times Producer Liu shopped and scanned goods also continued to increase, while Director Lin was by his side responsible for swiping his credit card.
It’s just that the assistants are suffering because they are carrying more and more things in their hands, and they have been sent back to the hotel twice during this period.
However, Liu Yifei and Lin Nan have never been stingy people, and they will also prepare gifts for their assistants and buy them together.
In China, a photo taken by Zhang Linnan is constantly updated on Ms. Liu’s Weibo in the form of a nine-square or twelve-square grid, which is really eye-catching!
This news also aroused heated discussions and jokes among the industry and netizens.
“Filming and traveling at the same time, I’m jealous of my real name!”
"After the appraisal, Yifei brought a top private photographer with her..."
"I'm going to visit the class, Sissy helped me book a room."
"Producer Liu, let me tell you Good news, the box office of "Wolf Warrior" is approaching 500 million."
"Tsk, tsk, the wedding hasn't been held yet, and the honeymoon is already starting? Yifei, listen to me, sister. But take it easy.”
“Well, the photos are so beautiful, remember not to take selfies, just let Director Lin do this, haha...”
...
In the film market, "The Lost Orphan" has completely come to an end after 20 days of public release, and was canceled by default with a box office of 215 million.
Among the domestically produced films, the only one that is worthy of success is "Wolf Warrior";
But the industry also knows that there is not much time left for "Wolf Warrior". .
Because the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Fast and Furious 7" will be released soon.
The most important thing is that the domestic pre-sale box office of this movie is so high that it can scare people to death, it has already reached 200 million!
It is conceivable that once "Fast 7" is released, domestic films in the film market will face a huge impact. There were definitely heavy casualties and piles of cannon fodder.
Yang Mi absently scrolled through the hot searches on Weibo, feeling a little depressed.
She went back to Nortel on the 5th, but did not see Xue Xiaolu. He had been busy with the final exam of the art exam.
She went there again the next day, but this time she saw no one either. I heard from the teacher in the literature department that he went to Lin Nan Film Company.
After much hesitation, she still called, but she didn't say anything on the phone. She just confirmed that the other party was available this morning.
"Mimi, how are you? Since Professor Xue can see you, does it mean there is hope for you?"
After Zeng Jia heard the assistant report that Yang Mi was back, She rushed to the company immediately and asked expectantly.
Yang Mi glanced at Zeng Jia and shook her head hesitantly.
“Rejected?”
"I didn't say no. Teacher Xue knew that I was going for "Love in Seattle 2", and she was indeed leaning towards the original cast, but she didn't give me a definite answer. It felt like..."
Yang Mi paused for a moment and her tone became unnaturally low: "Give me the feeling that you have to think about it again, discuss it again, and get a little closer?"
The reason why she was not in a good mood was because of this. reason.
“Think again, discuss again, almost? Do you want to confirm with Lin Nan Pictures?”
Zeng Jia muttered subconsciously. Yang Mi nodded after hearing this.
......
The two-day holiday was over, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei quickly gathered their minds and prepared for the start of work the next day.
It’s past five o’clock in the afternoon.
Miss Liu was counting her "trophies" over the past two days in the hotel room, and it seemed that she had indeed bought a lot of things.
Director Lin was in the living room, planning tomorrow's shooting with Lu Yang and others.
"Jin Shijie and Xiao Shen Yang just arrived at the hotel more than two hours ago. Do you want to meet Director Lin?"
"No, see you on the set tomorrow."
Lin Nanyao He shook his head and refused.
To be honest, he is quite tired now. When it comes to things like going shopping, women are naturally more energetic than men.
Originally Lin Nan planned to complete the filming of "Detective Chinatown" in two months, but now with Lu Yang's help, he is confident that the film will be finished in advance in mid-May.
"You have also arranged your work schedule. You can leave the team and return to China at the end of this month. Leave the rest to me."
Looking at Lu Yang, Lin Nan reminded.
"Well, of course, I have booked all the tickets. Early next month, the promotion of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" will begin.
But this month, I can still try my best I’m going to help Director Lin with the progress of the shooting first." Lu Yang nodded with a smile.
Ten minutes later, Lin Nan sent several people out the door.
"Give these to Tang Yan and the others."
Liu Yifei walked out of the room carrying several bags and placed them on the sofa in the living room.
"It's up to you, Producer Liu."
Lin Nan responded to Liu Yifei while answering the phone. There were so many things.
“What happened again?”
"Director Lin, Director Xue has come to the company. In the past two days, we have worked out the budget cost of "Love in Seattle 2"."
"How much?"
"About 60 million Right."
"Double it?"
Lin Nan muttered, he remembered that the cost of "Love in Seattle" was 30 million.
But it's reasonable. Three years have passed since the filming of the first part, and the salary has increased so much.
“Okay, 60 million is 60 million.”
“Director Lin, Director Xue probably still wants to use the original cast, she mentioned it to me. Wait until the script is reviewed. , I should be able to chat with you.”
Hearing this, Lin Nan paused and then smiled: “I understand.”
……The next morning. , the latest box office of "Wolf Warrior" has once again reached the crew of "Detective Chinatown", 488 million!
The joyful smile on Liu Yifei's face never stopped, and she frequently accepted congratulations from the leading actors.
"Fast and Furious 7" directed by James Wan has also officially entered the domestic film market.
And according to online movie information, it is hard to get a ticket for this movie, which is terrifying.
"Director Lin, thank you company for giving me this opportunity, I will definitely..."
After a brief exchange of greetings with Xiao Shen Yang and others, the filming began.
Wang Baoqiang's "Tang Ren" and Liu Haoran's "Qin Feng" were caught by Xiao Shen and Yang.
Behind the monitor, Lin Nan was quite emotional. Although Uncle Benshan’s apprentice did not have a professional background, his acting skills were still much better than many actors who had a professional background.
Thinking again about the original "Three Guns", the makeup and script should definitely take the blame!
Originally I thought this "kidnapping scene" would take a whole morning to shoot, but it ended up being successfully completed in two hours.
Lin Nan had no choice but to move forward the guest role of Jin Shijie as "Mr. Yan", and the filming ended early.
Tang Yan, who looked like a royal lady, came to the rescue in time, but the last grace period was set at 3 days by Liu Haoran's "Qin Feng".
It took one and a half hours to end the scene. It could have been done in half an hour, but the newcomer Liu Haoran must be allowed to have problems, right?
"Director Lin, this is the most relaxing movie I have ever made. Do we have a chance to work together again next time?"
"Okay, I look forward to our next cooperation."
Lin Nan shook hands with Jin Shijie. The latter arrived yesterday and can return today.
"Tangtang, what follows is a rivalry between you, the 'most beautiful woman in Chinatown', your cousins, two suitors, and a group of other people."
Liu Yifei Holding the script in his hand, he joked with Tang Yan.
"Then please ask Producer Liu to talk to Director Lin. I will try my best to perform well."
"That's easy to say.
...
At seven o'clock in the evening, the filming of the scene in "Axiang"'s house officially started.
First came "Tang Ren", "Qin Feng", then "Brother Bei", then "Kuntai", and finally "Huang Langdeng"... The latter's assistant let " Tang Ren" both also exposed themselves.
When I finished filming this large scene, it was already 11:30 pm.
Liu Yifei was sitting in the director's chair, already dozing off.
When she heard Lin Nan's "click" sound, she opened her eyes drowsily.
"Lin Nan, is it over?"
"Let's go, Sissy, go back to the hotel and sleep again."
Lin Nan reached out and helped Liu Yifei up, then The person couldn't stand still for a moment and fell directly into Lin Nan's arms, and was hugged by him subconsciously. This scene caused everyone in the crew to laugh, it was a dog food smile.
"Why are you laughing? Have you ever seen your legs numb?" Lin Nan smiled and "scolded" Liu Yifei.
"Haha..."
…………
Since a few years ago, Lin Nan has maintained multiple box office records in the domestic film market.
Until June last year, "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction" took away the first-day box office record and single-day box office record in the domestic film market from Lin Nan with its first-day box office of 174 million.
At this point, Lin Nan only has the total box office record in the domestic film market.
Unexpectedly, 10 months later, these two records were wiped out again; but unfortunately, it was not accomplished by domestic films.
Yesterday, no, I went to bed late this morning and worked hard for an hour.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were both sleeping soundly, but the ringing of their mobile phones suddenly woke them up.
Had it not been for the fear of delaying the main business, Lin Nan would not have shut down her phone, and now she regretted it.
The domestic film and television entertainment industry, major portals, Weibo... are already in a state of excitement.
"Fast and Furious 7" wiped out the movie market, just like the original "Avatar"!
While having breakfast, everyone on the "Detective Chinatown" crew couldn't help it, and they were all talking.
......
"Produced by Universal Pictures and directed by James Wan, the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Fast and Furious 7" accounted for 63% of the film schedule on its first day of release, and achieved strong box office success. 346 million, accounting for 90%+ of the daily box office. "
"Following "Transformers 4"'s 174 million, "Fast and Furious 7" once again broke the domestic film market's first-day box office record with 346 million. Daily box office record..."
"The daily box office of "Wolf Warrior" dropped sharply to 30 million, dividing the remaining market..."
"According to data analysis from theaters, audiences and fans have a high desire to watch "Fast and Furious 7", which may Will win the box office record in the domestic film market..."
"Director Lin Nan and "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" may lose the box office championship in the domestic film market!"
...< br>
“This movie has more staying power than the original “Transformers 4”, and I’m afraid it can’t be stopped... It’s just that the box office record in the domestic film market makes a foreign language film... indeed a bit..."
...
Lin Nan was in a good mood, although Liu Yifei frowned slightly.
“Don’t think about it, it will definitely break the record. This movie is in the right place at the right time and has all the selling points.
James told me that the red Lykan supercar is all over the world There were only 7 cars, and a total of 230 cars were scrapped during the filming of this movie. The most regrettable thing is that when the filming of the movie was about to be completed, the protagonist was killed in a car accident, tsk..."
"You are quite good. You see, the Internet is a mess, and many people are trolling you.”
After hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei relaxed her brows and teased him.
"Sissi, it's very tiring to keep the box office record. You will be constantly being held up by the people in the circle and above. I wish I had done this earlier, it would be a lot easier."
Lin Nan said the truth , not fake at all.
“Okay, eat quickly, we will start work soon. Oh, by the way, I hope that the "Wolf Warrior" you invested in can withstand the pressure from "Fast 7", haha..."
“Of course you can!”
Hearing this, Liu Yifei winked at Lin Nan with her right eye, very playfully.
