Chapter 914: First Day Box Office, Popular Stars
The gunfire for the Lunar New Year stalls rang out.
"Co-produced by Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, Wanda, and Enlight, directed by Director Wu Ershan, starring Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Zeng Li, Xia Yu, Reba, Liu Xiaoqing and others;
The fantasy, action, and adventure film "The Secret of the Dragon" adapted from the top IP novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has been released in theaters across the country in the early hours of this morning and was officially released!"
"According to theater chain data! It shows that the overall screening rate of the movie "The Secret of the Dragon" today is as high as 46.8%, and most of the screenings are during prime time, and the attendance rate is close to 97%..."
...
When I got up in the morning, Lin Nan didn't pay much attention to the release of "The Secret of the Dragon", but directly contacted Wang Changtian.
Yesterday afternoon when he and Liu Yifei were shopping, they received a call from Xue Xiaolu;
But at that time, the two of them had a cup of hot coffee each and were enjoying their shopping and did not want to deal with work matters, so It can only be left to today.
“I visited several movie theaters in the morning. Just after I returned to the company, your call came. Did you also read the reports online? It was so crowded, haha...”
After picking up the phone, before Lin Nan could say anything, Wang Changtian started laughing and seemed to be in a really good mood.
"You still need to watch the news? Isn't it right?" Lin Nan joked.
"Uh... what you said makes sense! But what's the matter with calling me so early in the morning? It's not even nine o'clock now. It's not your style."
< br>Lin Nan felt that Wang Changtian's last sentence was a bit hurtful. What do you mean it's not his style? What’s wrong with you liking to sleep in? Isn’t it okay to get up early to deal with work occasionally?
“The schedule of "Love in Seattle 2" has been set, let’s go and meet director Xue Xiaolu today;
Having made a publicity and distribution plan in advance to maximize distribution, Director Xue pointed to this movie to improve his own box office record. "
Hearing Lin Nan's words, there was clearly a sound of slapping the thigh on the other end of the phone, and then there was laughter:
"Okay, okay, what a magpie, I just joined the company. There is a big business, I will send people to Nortel soon..."
Wang Changtian is right, it is indeed a big business.
The box office of the first part was 582 million, and the box office of the second part was 582 million. The second film is not shoddy and has a large audience base. The box office will definitely be high, and the distribution expenses will naturally be higher
"Well, you will notify Yue Jun after the connection is completed, and then the three parties will issue a joint announcement."
Lin Nan yawned and warned that there are only five days left until "Love in Seattle 2" is released. months;
It is also time-consuming to communicate with theaters across the country for large-scale and in-depth distribution, and it must be completed at least two months in advance, so that pre-release publicity can be done with peace of mind.
“Okay, I understand.”
After hanging up the phone from Wang Changtian, Lin Nan was relieved; the company’s first movie to be released next year is completely finalized Got it!
As the Lunar New Year festival begins, the film market and production industry are also agitated.
The biggest gluttonous feast of the year is right in front of you, whether you will have the cake or be eaten, it will all happen in the next three months.
As a result, the online publicity war has become more intense and bloody, and many movies are increasing their publicity costs and intensity!
When Liu Yifei got up to look for Lin Nan, Director Lin had already arrived at the company.
Huayi was obviously a little impatient and actually started sending invitations to the premiere three weeks in advance; yes, Lin Nan Pictures also received one.
"The most popular movie information on the Internet today is "The Secret of the Dragon", and the second only to "The Secret of the Dragon" is "The Old Paoer".
Not to mention, the traffic of Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng is It’s really big! Thanks to the two of them, "Lao Pao'er" is firmly in the second position, unbeatable."
Lin Nan looked at the content of Hua Yi's invitation with interest. Yue Jun sighed with emotion.
“Isn’t there a term emerging in the circle now, called ‘traffic star’, which refers to this kind of artist;
No matter what they do, they can attract large-scale attention from the entire network. and hot discussions, with unparalleled traffic
According to my analysis, as we go forward, this kind of artist will gradually become the darling of major film and television companies and capital, and then become the mainstream of the film, television and entertainment markets! "
Jiang Yuerou walked into the office and took over Yue Jun's words.
Lin Nan raised his head, glanced at her, and affirmed with a smile:
"Since After the Internet industry entered the film and television entertainment industry, they brought the word 'traffic';
The film and television entertainment industry has indeed gained experience, and this is the fastest and most direct weapon to harvest the market!
Director Jiang is very insightful and his analysis is absolutely correct. But a sharp weapon is often a double-edged sword. Once you sacrifice yourself for the bottom line... the industry environment will become very bad. ”
“Yes, capital is profit-seeking. Don't care about the method, only care about the result. ‘Traffic Star’ is easy to use, and one family has tasted the benefits, but can others still sit still?
That’s why I dare to predict that ‘traffic stars’ will become mainstream, because this is the general trend. "
Lin Nan looked at Jiang Yanrou in front of him, okay, he admitted that the other party was right again, and he also guessed Jiang Yanrou's subtext:
"Director Jiang wants to say, our company Very suitable for playing this set? Traffic star? ”
"Haha... Director Lin, I didn't say that."
"Well, it's indeed a good fit!" Yue Jun spoke up after being silent for so long.
"You are overthinking, it won't happen. I have canceled the artist management business, let alone the lower-level 'traffic stars'."
Lin Nan said seriously, "Traffic star" and "traffic actor" are different.
The latter is an actor first and has traffic due to his works.
But the former is completely a product on the assembly line and can be replaced at any time; only the purest capital likes this kind because it is high-quality, cheap and easy to control!
Although Reba is also a star, at least she came from one of the three major universities and was assigned to the school for two years by the company... She is not a "star" like Wu Yifan who has no "ink" at all. Comparable.
In addition, Lin Nan claims that he is not the kind of "low-level capital" who only cares about money. He is a great director and one of the leaders in the film and television industry. He has a bottom line and keeps himself clean!
When Jiang Yuerou heard this, she smiled and said nothing. She just vaguely put forward an idea. As for whether to adopt it or not, it is up to the boss Lin Nan to decide.
"Hua Yi, Director Yue will go through the motions when the time comes; by the way, Director Jiang, the suggestion you mentioned for "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is something that Yifei and I both think is feasible. !" Lin Nan changed the topic.
"Okay, Director Lin. After that, when I help Hongxingwu choose the actors, that's what I'll do." Jiang Yuerou nodded immediately. Yue Jun on the side took over the errand and also joked: "Isn't Director Jiang from the fortress? Haha..."
...
Just As the morning passed, and in the afternoon, a large number of movie reviews for "The Secret of the Dragon" began to appear on the Internet, almost all of which were contributed by netizens.
“Closely following the theme of 'Tomb Robbery', 99% of the original work has been restored. This is definitely the most successful blockbuster film version of online novels in recent years, and it is a special theme of Tomb Robbery movies. It is really incredible. Easy! ”
"I just want to say that Xia Yu's performance as the big gold tooth is really amazing. He deserves to be the best actor in Venice!"
"The special effects are great! He really works for his own family, and he is not lazy in his workmanship!"
>
"If you don't take anything from the owner of the tomb, you are all responsible and patriotic tomb robbers! Haha..."
"Well, Reba is still very beautiful."
"Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, and Xia Yu, using an all-star cast to star in a tomb-robbery movie like "The Secret of the Dragon" is really luxurious to the extreme! Facts have proved that the effect is also explosive!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, teacher Liu Xiaoqing's final makeup is a bit scary."
...
Ali, the crew of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".
Zeng Jia looked aggrieved but helpless. She looked at Yang Mi and said angrily:
"They have gone too far. How we market it is our business. Son, why are you gesticulating?”
Yang Mi didn't answer. She knew about Yue Jun's call.
It is nothing more than asking the company to stop making random troubles online before the release of "Love in Seattle 2", so as not to affect the movie - this is considered a slap!
"Jiajia, we have gone too far recently. We have stepped on this, pushed against that, morally kidnapped...fans are even violent online..."
"But there are so many movies and TV series, Otherwise, where does the heat come from? There is a gambling on us!"
Zeng Jia said sternly, this is the best way to "hype"!
"Then, Senior Brother Yue has made it clear, do you dare to offend him?"
Yang Mi sat there, hitting the nail on the head.
Zeng Jia suddenly fell silent. Dare you? Don't dare!
Her eyes drifted to the distance, where Luo Jin was lying down on a canvas chair to rest.
Before, Jiaxing had an affair with Luo Jin’s girlfriend Tang Yan because of "Why Sheng Xiao Mo".
"Then restrain yourself like this?"
""Love in Seattle 2" should be released soon, and it will be fine after that. We will cooperate with the crew's promotion and proceed as usual; our own...just remove it."
Yang Mi paused for a moment, then raised her head again and looked at Zeng Jia:
"Including those from "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms". We don't need those in the movie. We have to believe in Ali's Strength...and it’s too easy to offend that side!”
Although Zeng Jia was still unwilling, after a long time, she still nodded heavily.
...
Throughout the whole day, the news and topics of "The Secret of the Dragon" have been occupying the front page of film and television entertainment information, and topped the hot search list.
When he returned home in the afternoon, Lin Nan was already looking forward to seeing its first-day box office results.
“The box office of "The Secret of the Dragon" can affect "Detective Chinatown" to a certain extent.
Because both movies are produced by the owner of Lin Nan Pictures It is a commercial blockbuster, and the latter has to succeed the former, so the box office momentum of "The Secret of the Dragon" can only be strong, not weak or declining!"
Lin Nan explained to the beauty Liu Qianqian who was lying lazily on the sofa. The latter had just left Liu Xiaoli's practice room and finished taking a shower. She was currently lazy.
"Oh. Many people sent me messages today, and they all went to the movies. Brother Xun even asked me to reimburse the movie tickets, it's true."
Liu Yifei pouted, A look of disgust on his face.
"Haha, let her come to me for reimbursement." Lin Nan pretended to be angry.
"Come here quickly, my legs are sore!" Miss Liu urged, stretching her white, fat feet.
Yes, Director Lin’s premonition came true.
......
The next day, while Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were still dreaming, the attention of the entire production industry and film and television entertainment circles had been attracted by "The Secret of the Dragon"—— Another terrifying number!
"Co-produced by Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, Enlight, and Wanda, the fantasy, action, and adventure commercial blockbuster "The Secret of the Dragon" grossed 202 million at the box office on its first day of release, accounting for a high share of the daily box office …”
