Chapter 832 Something is very wrong!
Lin Nan Pictures, in the office.
Lin Nan resisted yawning and listened with a serious and gloomy expression as Yue Jun was "filled with righteous indignation"!
The daily box office of several movies yesterday was released early this morning.
But these box office data make the entire film industry a little unbelievable.
Because the daily box office of Lin Nan Pictures' two movies fell off a cliff like an avalanche.
Today's box office decline is a normal thing. It is the law of the market and there is nothing to make a fuss about.
But the problem lies in the reputation of "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Xiu Chun Knife 2". They have been very good since their release, especially the former, which is a hit!
And these two movies had a daily box office of nearly 60 million and nearly 30 million the day before yesterday.
But yesterday it was said that it was cut in half, and it was cut in half very suddenly without any warning, and even two-thirds of it was cut off.
This situation is very wrong!
"Monster Hunt" was released for two days, and the daily box office was 152 million and 151 million respectively; "Pancake Man" was released at 128 million on the first day.
Even though they accounted for the majority , but the daily box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Xiu Chun Dao 2" are absolutely impossible to achieve this situation.
Obviously, the daily revenue was 60 million or 30 million the day before, but on the second day, the box office revenue was 60 million or 30 million. The next day it dropped to 30 million and 10 million for no reason?
Director Lin, you know our film scheduling rate has not dropped by a few points, it is still 28.5% and 20.1%!”
Yue Jun's last words were particularly harsh. Of course Lin Nan understood the profound meaning.
There is something fishy here!
"How long will it take?" Lin Nan stared at Yue Jun and asked.
"Two days, I will take people to find out the reason. No, I want to verify the reason!"
Lin Nan nodded when he heard this.
To be honest, he and Yue Jun both knew the specific reasons behind this happening and this situation.
It’s nothing more than those trivial things, those shady means and purposes.
But the rules of the game are there, everything has to be based on evidence, right?
“Go, keep a low profile, I’ll wait for your news.”
“Yes, I understand.
In addition, I have already informed Lu Dao and Shiyue Culture, so please don’t rush. "
Yue Jun is very thoughtful, don't you want to alert the snake.
"Two-pronged approach, I will also find someone to ask today. "
Lin Nan said pointedly, with an inexplicable confidence... and indifference in his tone.
It wasn't until Yue Jun turned around and left the office that Lin Nan lazily leaned back on the chair. , yawned greatly.
He raised his left wrist and glanced, "Tsk, good guy, it's only a quarter past nine in the morning!"
Last night, Director Lin didn’t go to bed until two o’clock in the morning. He was sleepy...
“Recently, there have been so many things to worry about, so many people looking for trouble. ?
If you don’t let me live in peace, then don’t live in peace!”
Lin Nan muttered to himself with his eyes closed. The circles under his eyes were slightly blue and black, and he needed to catch up on some sleep.
At this moment, the film and television industry is a lively scene.
A large number of actors, entertainers, and celebrities in the industry are cheering and congratulating the new billionaire box-office director, who is also a new film director.
Although online movie reviews are overwhelmingly critical, they are all criticizing the movie as a super bad movie, worse than shit and urine, extremely embarrassing, and insulting the audience’s IQ...
But this does not hinder the movie’s box office. The fact that it is a big hit and full of gimmicks...even if it has already embarked on the road of black and red.
“Pancake Man, Dong Chengpeng’s directorial debut, earned 128 million on the first day of its release, and has already recovered its cost. The mainland film industry has another commercial film director!”
"The chairman of Sohu said bluntly that he will help "Jianbing Man" cross the 1 billion box office mark and help Dapeng become a director in the 1 billion box office club."
…………
Tao Xie’s response Three or four days have passed since Chen Kaige "made trouble".
The latter did not apologize and the former seemed to be silent.
The reason is that the official personally intervened and made peace.
Otherwise, once the labels of "accepting instructions from foreign forces" and "deliberately provoking and creating religious conflicts" are confirmed, it will be a big deal!
Even a great Palme d'Or director like Chen Kaige, who has a profound background, will at least lose some skin in the end, and even implicate the relevant departments.
The film and television industry still avoids this matter, but many people talk about it privately.
After all, this is a rare "big trouble" that can make Director Chen feel like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and worried.
More than ten o'clock in the morning, light.
After Wang Changtian hung up the phone, he immediately called his secretary in.
"Director Wang?"
"Ask people from the distribution department to 'find out' the distribution status of "Pancake Man" and "Monster Hunt" in as much detail as possible through our distribution channels , report it to me as soon as possible.”
“Director Wang, what are you referring to?”
“Are there any shady methods, illegal operations... any hidden rules?” >
"Okay, Director Wang, I'll go right away."
After the secretary walked to the door and disappeared from sight, Wang Changtian couldn't help pinching his brows, still muttering:
"You really found something for me to do. But looking at it like this, something is really wrong, something is wrong!"
......
There is no doubt that from today on, in the future, Within a month, the man of the hour in the film industry will be Sohu's Dong Chengpeng.
This is by far the most dynamic new film director across industries in the industry!
His starting point is higher than many senior directors, but it is only in the "commercial film" field.
After browsing the film and television entertainment information on the Internet for a while, Lin Nan picked up the phone again.
“Who should I call again?” Liu Yifei asked Lin Nan while flipping through the scripts sent by other companies outside.
"Wanda."
As he spoke, the call was dialed.
Half a minute later, the call was connected, and Ye Ning's voice sounded: "Director Lin?"
"Mr. Ye, I have something to do with you."
Hearing Lin Nan's serious tone, Ye Ning on the other end of the phone seemed to quickly change places after saying "Wait a moment"?
The sound of closing the door came, "Director Lin, it's time to say it."
"The box office drops of "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Xiu Chun Knife 2" were a bit too abrupt and unreasonable.
Wanda is the largest theater chain in the country. I would like you to help me "check it out". Are there any problems with it? "
Lin Nan said it clearly. Euphemistic, but actually very direct;
There were some things that he didn’t point out clearly, but Ye Ning could definitely understand.
Sure enough, there was a pause over there.
"Okay, I'll go and have a look in person. When I turn around, I'll call Director Lin. If there's anything I can gain, I'll leave it to Director Lin."
"Thank you."< br>
"Director Lin, what's our relationship? You're just saying this, haha..."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan and Ye Ning both looked solemn.
Because from Lin Nan's perspective, what he just said even implies some doubts:
Is there something wrong with Wanda Cinema Line too? Or is there something wrong with the theater below?
This seems a bit "unreasonable"!
But on the other hand, Wanda Pictures and Lin Nan do have a core alliance, so what he said was not rash or offensive.
And as the largest theater chain, Wanda is indeed not difficult to "investigate" its fellow theaters!
As for the reason for Ye Ning's solemn expression, it was because he had been at the helm of the theater chain for many years, and he already knew something about it as soon as he heard about this kind of thing.
Let’s not talk about other theater chains, but the theaters under Wanda cannot rule out the possibility that there are no violations.
Because this kind of thing is not only related to issues such as performance, performance, dividends, etc., but is often linked to issues such as self-interest, kickbacks, bribery, etc., money touches people's hearts.
"The specific operation or operations will only be known after checking. In addition, there are also screening conditions in other cinemas..."
Muttering in his mouth , Ye Ning picked up the landline phone on the desk. The connections are your own.
...
Although there are three methods of casting for Alibaba Pictures' "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", there are offline research, interviews with book friends, and online voting.
But it is obvious that the online voting is the most popular among them; even if it is described with terms such as going to war, mobilizing troops and crowds, it is not an exaggeration at all.
As for how to determine the angle in the end, it is the result of merging these three items for reference.
However, from the perspective of the entire network, the results of the online voting are basically destined to be the final results.
Because there are so many people participating!
If Alibaba does not choose an actor selected by online voting as the protagonist, it will really be teasing countless netizens and fans;
For a giant like Alibaba, the consequences of breaking promises and breaking promises are huge. Small!
"As of today's 4th day, Sissi is still number one, really."
"Are you feeling aggrieved by your ranking as the 'second oldest child in a thousand years'?"
Lin Nan teased Shu Chang while writing Xi Ying into the guest list. The Weibo of the two of them has long been noisy.
Countless fans are teasing, stoking, and calling out Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, hoping that they can be more "careful" and take the initiative to compete and finally take on this drama.
I have to say that Liu Yifei and Shu Chang have too many casual fans! It is definitely the kind that makes actresses in the industry covet her.
"What the hell, that sounds awful."
Before Shu Chang could retort, Liu Yifei punched Lin Nan first.
It's just that the smile on her face doesn't seem to be sympathetic to Shu Chang, but...arrogant!
"Hmph, you two are going too far. I was kind enough to help you, but you treat me like this?"
Shu Chang put down the pen in his hand and looked at the two people in front of him with "righteous indignation".
"Changchang, but it is really the second place?! Work quickly, otherwise there will be no food for lunch, haha..."
Lin Nan continued to joke, Liu Yifei did the same Laughing all the time. Not to mention, Shu Chang’s eyes are quite sharp!
"But having said that, they did go too far."
Miss Liu changed the topic and immediately attracted the attention of Lin Nan and Shu Chang.
"Yes, for the sake of a role, I dare to spread any rumors."
Lin Nan did not answer the conversation. There was nothing to say about the mutual attacks and slanders between female artists. . Those methods and drafts are too dirty.
“By the way, if one of us really wins, Alibaba Pictures will probably pay close attention to thatched cottage, right?”
Shu Chang has a big head and a lot of ideas.
"Then let's wait until you win first."
Liu Yifei took the pen and tapped Shu Chang's forehead, and the fierce battle began.
…………
On the Internet, the popularity of "Monster Hunt" and "Pancake Man" continues to surge.
The latter's box office and reputation are soaring in the opposite direction, and it has clearly embarked on the path of "black and red".
The former is indescribable. Because the film reviews are a bit too "uniform", the publicity funds are definitely burning fiercely!
......
Just as Lin Nan warned, Yue Jun gathered people in the company, even hired people, and started low-key "research" in several first-tier cities at the same time. ...The theater from morning to night and even early in the morning!
