Chapter 900 Hidden Rules; 126 million!
In the three days of the first weekend, the box office revenue was 123 million.
Although the daily box office on the fourth day was halved to 15.92 million, it still cannot be denied:
That is, Yang Mi's "I Am a Witness" has become a popular film during the blockbuster period. A small-budget domestic film to make money.
It is indeed a bit excessive to just post the press release all over the Internet.
Especially Yang Mi's "quotes" during the interview: "I hope everyone can see my sincerity in wanting to be a good actor"; Get up immediately, I’m the kind of person who has to lie down for a while after falling down”;
“I will use a whip to wake myself up and get rid of bad movies and show off my acting skills”...
These drafts Lin Nan couldn't help but want to laugh. You can't have your cake and eat it too, capital and actors, she can only choose one!
When Associate Professor Lin Nan arrived at Nortel, a film seminar on "Old Friends in Mountains and Rivers" was being held on campus.
Compared with "I Am a Witness", the box office of this movie is really terrible; yesterday was the fourth day of release, but the daily revenue was only 1.72 million.
No one may believe it if you tell me. Although the current total box office of "Old Friends in Mountains and Rivers" is only a pitiful 18.8 million;
But this is the first time that Jia Zhangke, a top director, has made movies since his debut. The highest box office result, which makes people sigh and sympathize.
“You are really like an old fritter, rushing to class slowly and unhurriedly, right?”
Far away, more than ten meters away, Lao Jiang complained. Lin Nan.
"This kind of thing is self-taught without a teacher. I am much more on time than when I was a student in school."
"It's like how many classes have you taken?
I only came into the classroom occasionally during the first half of my undergraduate studies, but I didn’t see you for more than two years after that. During my graduate studies, I couldn’t even see you.”
“One by one. They gave me lectures that they have never done before. Do you think I can listen to them? I didn’t laugh at them on the spot. I respect the teacher’s teachings.”
Lin Nan smiled without mercy. said. Well, he accidentally stabbed Lao Jiang too.
Because the latter is a master of theory. He talks about professional expressions and vocabulary in class, one after another;
But if we really want him to get started, it is all dogmatism and hesitation, which is like "waste" ".
Sure enough, Lao Jiang unscrewed the thermos cup in a disgraceful manner to avoid embarrassment, and was still cursing: "You can do it, you are a great director, you are right."
"Haha... Okay, Deputy Director Jiang, let's go and see my first class." Lin Nan invited with a smile and offered the steps.
The Nortel campus is very lively today, because many students and teachers know that Lin Nan has an elective class in the morning.
However, Director Lin Da was also speechless, because he himself had only opened 30 course selection places, and a small classroom was enough, but the school chose to give him a large terraced classroom.
The intention is very obvious. It is clearly prepared for students who want to take part in class and teachers who are just joining in the fun!
At 10:30 in the morning, when Lin Nan entered the lecture theater from the main entrance, it was exactly as he expected:
The lecture theater was full of people, and the crowds were all students and students. There are a few young teachers, maybe close to 200 of them, right?
For a moment, the applause was like thunder. It can be seen that many students are a little excited.
But the next moment Lin Nan's waving movement got stuck, and the smile on his face froze for a second.
What are you doing? He saw two sneaky figures in the last row, near the corner of the back door;
Wearing caps and masks, one with long hair shawl and a single ponytail - Liu Yifei and Shu Chang!
With those two pairs of eyes, Lin Nan would never admit his mistake!
Lao Jiang, who had just come in through the back door, obviously noticed the two of them, and then gave Lin Nan a meaningful smile.
Looking at those eyes with thick eyelashes fluttering, Lin Nan smiled slightly and stood on the podium.
“Quiet.”
Glancing at the list of students on the multimedia table, Lin Nan felt a little emotional. There are so many little things in the school. Thirty people, more than two-thirds are from the acting academy.
“Let me start by saying that this is an elective course, not a professional course.
Professional courses allow you to earn a living in the industry, but my elective courses allow you to earn as much as possible Serve clean food, and I hope you will choose to eat clean food.”
Lin Nan's opening remarks immediately made everyone present attentive.
Everyone is vaguely guessing that Director Lin and Professor Lin are going to talk about the reality in the industry again. This is really good stuff and words of experience!
"Today is the first lesson. I will only talk about one word - hidden rules!"
In an instant, the classroom was in an uproar! Hidden rules? Can this be said publicly? And it’s taught in school classes?
“Of course, I hope to use a negative teaching material to talk about this thing. I hope everyone will be vigilant... What are the unspoken rules we have seen or heard the most? Dinner? Accompanying wine? Accommodating sleeping? These are indeed It is the most common, but also the lowest;
The reality is cruel, and so is the film and television industry and the entertainment industry. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a transaction... To use an actor's analogy, your professional skills, that is, acting skills, are your bargaining chips...
When your acting skills cannot let you When you have a full meal and a clean meal, you have to pay some other chips to add to it, whether it is money, background, connections, or body...
Of course, keep yourself clean. There are also a lot of resources. They will not cast actors with unwritten rules, but they will certainly not use this type of actors who take the initiative to "dedicate themselves"; in addition to acting skills, they will also value human relationships and connections, because this is the circle and reality... ...This is also another advanced unspoken rule of the industry..."
Lin Nan continued to talk, talking about things that were never mentioned openly in the industry. All the students present listened very seriously, with expressions on their faces. Also very serious.
“Sissi, you know what he said? ”
"I don't know, that's why I asked you to come secretly to surprise him."
Reflections flashed in Liu Yifei's dark eyes, and she looked intently at Lin Nan, who was talking eloquently on the podium, under her mask There is a sweet smile on his face, so handsome!
"He knows so much in detail. Have you ever been 'shown' to someone else? I suggest you hammer on him if you have nothing to do..." Shu Chang started to "seeking death" again.
"Changchang, I will definitely tell Lin Nan what you said soon." Liu Yifei didn't even look at her best friend, looking straight ahead with her curved eyebrows.
"No, Sissi. I'm doing this for both of you..."...
At noon, Lin Nan held a class at Nortel and talked about unspoken rules. News about it shot directly to the top of the hot search list, attracting the attention of the entire entertainment industry.
Many netizens even joked: "Director Lin Nan, if he had been replaced by someone else, he would have offended a large group of bad actors in the entertainment industry, and there would definitely be no good in the future. Eat the fruit!”
In the restaurant outside Nortel, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and Shu Chang were having lunch.
"You went to the company first from home. I got up right after you left and went straight to school. Of course I arrived earlier than you."
Liu Yifei said with a smile that they had already planned it.
"That's it. The lecture is a bit too much."
"You can't even stop your mouth at lunch, right?" Lin Nan glared at Shu Chang, this kid is Deserve a beating!
"In the past few days, "Detective Chinatown" will also start to promote. I went to the company first this morning to deal with this matter."
The words changed and Lin Nan said Another serious matter. We must pay attention to the Lunar New Year period, and it is appropriate to start promoting it two months in advance.
"Huh? But some of Tang Yan and the others are still on the set. Do you want to shout out?" Liu Yifei asked.
"No need for the first month, whoever has a schedule will come. But from the beginning of next month, even those who are on the crew will have to take some time to participate in at least a few promotional activities."
As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, Yue Jun's call came, "I guess it's about the commercial for "The Secret of the Dragon"."
Under the gaze of Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, Lin Nan answered the phone.
“What’s going on?”
"Director Lin, the contract for the pre-roll advertising of "The Secret of the Dragon" has been signed this morning. The three advertisements are for three brands of cars, watches, and liquor, with a total amount of 126 million..."
Listen By the last number, Lin Nan's mood instantly improved.
"It has finally exceeded 100 million. Please arrange for someone to notify Enlight, Wanda, Shanghai Film and China Film Group. When the movie premieres, this revenue can be announced."
< br>"Well, I will notify you in the afternoon. One more thing, the pre-roll advertisement of "Detective Chinatown" may be the same as that of "The Secret of the Dragon". I said it is possible."
< br>“It’s the brand’s business whether to repeat or not. They are willing to spend money to bid, and we will take care of it.”
Lin Nan bluntly said that it was originally a matter of mutual consent.
Hang up the phone and continue eating.
……
In the afternoon, the most popular entertainment information on the Internet is contributed by Alibaba and Huayi.
The Double Eleven Party, which is said to have invited most of the celebrities in the entertainment industry to perform, has been on the front page of major portal websites and the top of Weibo's hot searches.
Hundreds of actors and celebrities in the film, television, entertainment and sports industries forwarded the post to help build momentum. Countless netizens across the Internet are discussing it.
The director and producer of this party are Feng Xiaogang and Hua Yi respectively. Ali once again displayed the four words "rich and powerful" nakedly.
What is most interesting to Lin Nan is that Ali sent invitation letters to him, Wang Changtian, Wang Wei and others.
It was really thought-provoking to invite them to watch a performance despite having just broken up with each other two days ago.
Lin Nan guessed that this was most likely done by Jack Ma specifically to show off his muscles? !
"I'm in the process of contacting theaters about the box office split between "Embarrassed" and "Charlotte". If it's fast, it will be at the end of this month, if it's slow, it will be next month."
Lin Nan gets through When Wang Changtian called, the other party thought he was asking about the box office split.
“That’s not what I’m asking about.”
“Ali’s invitation? I’m so upset, of course I won’t go!”
Lin Nan too I am convinced by Wang Changtian.
"I'm asking about "The Secret of the Dragon" and "Detective Chinatown". Have the theaters responded? As the distributor, Guangbo should have brought my words to them, right?"
At this moment, Wang Changtian just react.
“Not yet, probably only for a day or two. If you ask me, your "Detective Chinatown" is not bad. After all, it is your movie, and most theaters trust it.
But "The Secret of the Dragon", I'm afraid they won't agree. Although it is a top IP, Wu Ershan is incomparable to you."
Wang Changtian's words! Lin Nan also understood what it meant.
"We'll wait until the theaters get a reply, but at least "Detective Chinatown" will be fine." The first commercial film after winning the Best Director Award”
