Chapter 938: Box office on the first day, a bloodbath; will it be postponed?
If he hadn't heard Liu Yifei mention it, Lin Nan wouldn't have known that Shen Teng and Ma Li actually had a comedy film "One Thought in Paradise" that was also released today.
However, although "Charlotte Troubles" made the two of them popular;
but when it comes to box office appeal and audience influence in the domestic film market, the two of them are after all "Newcomer";
Compared to Lin Nan, it is naturally very different and difficult to compare with.
As a result, "One Thought in Heaven" didn't even have half the popularity, and was completely stepped on by "Detective Chinatown";
Even "Bad Angel", which has completely shown its decline at the box office in recent days, is better than it The attendance rate is higher.
“Because other companies invited Shen Teng and Ma Li to star, we Mahua don’t have much obligation to help promote it, so naturally we are embarrassed to disturb you, Director Lin.”
Yan Feixiao Hehe explained, and Lin Nan immediately understood. This was because other film and television companies in the industry wanted to take advantage of the popularity of "Shen Ma Group" and "Charlotte Trouble"!
"Then when you go back, I wish them both good luck."
In the office, Lin Nan joked while flipping through the revenue report of Happy Mahua brought by Yan Fei.
"Director Lin, are you talking sarcastically?
Except for "Detective Chinatown", the other movies today are so miserable, and the market will be sucked by you. Done. Haha..."
Faced with Yan Fei's teasing, Lin Nan was embarrassed to be modest.
Because from morning to now, media reports have already explained the problem: the attendance rate of "Detective Chinatown" is very explosive, as high as over 90%;
Coupled with the 58.88% film scheduling rate, today’s daily box office performance can be imagined - it belongs to "Detective Chinatown"!
Ten minutes later, Lin Nan personally sent Yan Fei out of the company because he was about to get off work. It was already 11:30 in the morning.
......
Since the afternoon, the number of online movie reviews and discussion posts about "Detective Chinatown" has shown a sharp increase, mobilizing the enthusiasm of almost all viewers on the Internet.
“I’m not going to lie, it really made me laugh to death! Wang Baoqiang, Xiao Yang and Chen He contributed 99% of the laughter in the whole movie, hahaha...”
"Who said Zeng Xiaoxian has no acting skills? After the whole movie, his nose kept suffering..."
"Zeng Xiaoxian, it's not that you don't have enough ability to be the deputy director, it's that you don't have the fun of Xiao Yang." Hua, he slept with the director’s wife!”
“This will definitely be a famous scene. The greasy Xiao Yang contributed an absolutely famous scene-’I sue you for slandering (hui)! ) Slander! He is slandering! ', I can't help laughing."
"Xiao Yang's acting skills when Wang Baoqiang revealed that he slept with the director's wife...ha. Haha..."
"Zhu Yawen's sissy is very good..."
"The more you go to the end of the movie, the more horrified you feel. The adoptive daughter 'kills' the adoptive father. That look in his eyes... it's so scary when you think about it." Is the main character who has not been shown, Sinuo's classmate and good friend, just missing? Or is he hiding? "
"According to the plot hint, 'Sinuo' and 'Dan' are very good friends, and 'Sinuo' is the perfect criminal, so she will not kill 'Dan'."
"This is the ending Leave room for imagination: Will 'Dan' come back on his own after a while? When 'Sino' informs him that he can come back?"
"I have a darker point of view here:
‘Sinuo’ has an adoptive father who has morbid thoughts about her; ‘Dan’ on the other side also has a gay father who hides it well from the outside world. So, it cannot be ruled out that this father also has twisted feelings towards his own son...
The two children were good friends and both wanted to get rid of their own 'evil' and 'dark' families, so they teamed up to set up a trap to kill the two. grown ups! "
" Damn it, I fully support the point of view above, because 'Sinuo' has this brain! ”
“+1”
“+1”
"+1"
"Aite Nortel:
When Director Lin selected Liu Haoran, others had already applied for the Chinese Drama Theater and were even admitted in advance because of this, so you were grouped You may feel really depressed when you are laughing!
However, this Zhang Zifeng is not yet old enough to take the art exam, so remember to be careful and don’t let others run away, especially if you run into a drama! Haha..."
"Good guy, are you making fun of the film academy?"
"No, this is just another stab after countless great directors from Nortel stabbed their alma mater."
"What are you talking about? This is obviously a kind reminder! Haha..."
< br>......
In the afternoon, more than half of the hot searches on Weibo were "Detective Chinatown".
The Weibo posts of Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and even the main creators have all been flooded, with almost all of them praising the show and asking about the plot and clarification.
Faced with this overwhelming lively situation and those inquiries about the "dark plot" setting, Lin Nan did not speak out;
Because as a director and screenwriter, he did not give a final conclusion and allowed online discussion posts and The popularity is fermenting unbridled, which is beneficial to the film's influence and publicity!
Huayi may have felt the pressure. Feng Xiaogang once again "waved the flag and cheered" for "Old Paoer" on Weibo;
Of course, he will definitely not forget to bring The two people with the most appeal to fans:
""Lao Pao'er" is full of the flavor of the alleys of Laosijiucheng in that era. It is the authentic flavor of Lao Pao'er and is unforgettable in the past. Memories and lost years of youth...
Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng are both very healthy and sunny children. They have paid a lot for this movie;
I feel that I have gained a lot from getting to know them through this filming; they will definitely be The mainstay of the future film and television industry, and "Old Paoer" is the starting point of their qualitative change..."
To be honest, when Lin Nan saw Feng Xiaogang's Weibo, he didn't have the slightest intention to laugh at it;
He just felt a little emotional, Feng Xiaogang deserves to be from the bottom, he can say all shameless things openly!
He also gained a lot from two top traffic stars? What can they teach Director Feng Da?
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei stayed at home all afternoon without going out because there was a light snowfall outside.
But even if you stay at home, you can't stop the calls from people in the circle. The key is to get down to business!
"Director Lin, our launch time has been set, just after the Spring Festival. Do you have time to attend the launch ceremony? After all, it is the last one."
" Fixed the angle so quickly?"
Lin Nan didn't rush to reply to Huo Wenxi, but asked instead. He remembered that the script of "Ip Man 4" had been reviewed, which seemed to be only a dozen days ago.
"The angle setting is not over yet, but it is coming soon, and it does not affect the arrangements for starting the film. Director Lin, what do you think?"
Hearing this answer, Lin Nan understood. It seems that Yinghuang is interested in "Ip Man 4" is very interesting.
"I can't go to the venue after the Spring Festival. I have an itinerary and I have to fly to Hollywood."
Hearing this, Huo Wenxi immediately knew: Flying to Hollywood after the Spring Festival? Isn’t it an Oscar?
“That’s alright, I’ll tell Director Yang and I won’t disturb Director Lin for your rest.”
"Yeah, okay."
As expected, Lin Nan had just hung up the phone, and less than ten minutes after she and Liu Yifei had snuggled on the sofa with one earphone each, another call came.
"I think you should go to the company? Let's watch a movie. The progress bar only goes for thirty minutes, but it actually started playing more than an hour ago!"
Liu Yifei gave Lin Nan a "complaining" look, with a sweet smile on her face.
Lin Nan glanced at the caller ID with a smile, and then vowed: "The last one."
A few minutes later, Lin Nan nodded in agreement with Wang Wei's determination of the specific date for Tudou's second round of financing, and then he turned his phone into airplane mode.
……
China Film.
"La Dong, Director Lin's phone call cannot be reached."
La Peikang frowned slightly, then waved to his secretary and looked at Zhou Xingchi:
"Forget it, don't ask for his opinion. Although he is the largest investor, he is not the main producer of the film. We can just decide between the two of us."
"La Dong, February 8 "How about it be released on the 3rd?"
Zhou Xingchi immediately revealed the time he had planned. The popularity of "Detective Chinatown" in major theaters today has deeply stimulated him; he can't wait for "Mermaid".
“No. 3? Well, good, okay!”
...
It was around seven o'clock in the evening, downstairs of Wanda Cinema Company.
Looking at the phone in her hand that had been "unreachable", Ye Ning sighed helplessly.
He had been struggling in his heart for a long time. He originally wanted to take advantage of the New Year's Eve to chat with Lin Nan.
After all, the two have known each other for almost 11 years and have a really good relationship; and where will I go next... I have some troubles with Lin Nan, Wang Changtian and others...
< br>
"Hey, forget it. Next time we meet... you should hear the news from me first, right? I don't know what everyone will think and react, haha..."
Ye Ning murmured helplessly Tao, his expression was very bitter.
Under the night, he looked back at the brightly lit company building. Starting tomorrow, he will take annual leave.
This is the first time he has taken a long vacation in Wanda for so many years. The first time I took a long vacation was a long vacation of more than a month.
Even though the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival are very busy and the group does not want him to take a vacation, he also said firmly: He must take this long vacation!
A change of mood, a change of mindset, a change of scenery – take a vacation to prepare for this!
……
On one night, more than a dozen satellite TV stations were holding New Year’s Eve parties.
Why can all provincial satellite TV stations now only hold New Year’s Eve parties on the night before New Year’s Day?
The reason is that Yang Ma is too overbearing!
There is a clear document on it: Heyangma is not allowed to compete for viewers and traffic on the night of New Year's Eve!
New Year's Day, morning, around eight o'clock.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were sleeping soundly hugging each other, but the entire film industry outside had gone crazy;
Because "Detective Chinatown" really bloodbathed the domestic film market yesterday, "dominating "The daily box office market!
"Directed by Director Lin Nan, produced by Liu Yifei, starring Wang Baoqiang, Liu Haoran, Tang Yan, Xiao Yang, Chen He, Zhang Zifeng and others;
"Detective Chinatown," a commercial blockbuster in the Lunar New Year period of comedy, action, and detective genres, grossed 236 million at the box office on its first day of release..."
"It is reported that "Detective Chinatown" accounted for 89.97% of the total box office yesterday. , once again breaking the first-day box office record and single-day box office record for domestic films..."
"Due to the influence of "Detective Chinatown", produced by Huayi, directed by Guan Ru, Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng and others Starring in the Lunar New Year action-drama movie "Old Paoer", the box office plummeted from 46.07 million to 11.2 million yesterday, showing an avalanche..."
"Due to the siphon effect of "Detective Chinatown", Controlled by Enlight Pictures, co-produced by Orange Image, directed by Deng Chao, starring Deng Chao, Sun Li, Liang Chao and others; the Lunar New Year comedy movie "Villain Angel" yesterday saw its box office halve from 15.87 million to 3.2 million..."
"Due to the influence of "Detective Chinatown", starring Shen Teng and Ma Li, the comedy movie "One Thought in Heaven" performed poorly at the box office on the first day, with a revenue of 7.45 million, and it did not regain the glory of "Charlotte" . ”
"According to many large domestic theaters, they will increase the filming rate and quantity of "Detective Chinatown" again, and adjust the filming time..."
...
Lin Nan Wang Changtian was really impressed. The first call he received after turning on the phone was from Chairman Wang Da.
“Look, I’ll press Hua Yi down until he vomits blood. In two days, I’ll crush him to death!”
“Isn’t “Villain Angel” about to die? Lin Nan yawned and joked.
"It doesn't matter, there isn't much left. "Detective Chinatown" will help Light earn back dozens of times! Haha..."
Yes, Lao Wang is a sensible person!
"Hurry up and finish the phone call. Let's have breakfast, it's 10 o'clock!"
Next to her, Liu Yifei smiled, winked and mouth-synced at Lin Nan.
At this moment, she was wearing a fluffy pink home dress, looking very young, playful and cute... Well, without makeup and wearing a hairband!
...
Lin Nan frowned as he sat opposite Liu Yifei, the phone in his hand not yet hung up.
Miss Liu sipped her eggs, looked at Lin Nan, and at the same time listened to the postponement on the phone.
"The box office on the first day was 236 million, which is higher than "囧", "Charlotte" and "The Secret of the Dragon". Do you want to apply for an extension this time?
No application for extension I'm sorry that our box office has applied for an extension. This is the fourth time... Which time will the extension be applied for? Will it be approved?"
Of course Lin Nan knew very well that the application for extension of the secret key had been rejected three times, but this had never happened before!
But the "all-in-one" reason above is indeed really speechless and helpless.
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei with questions in her eyes.
"Well, why not?" Miss Liu nodded firmly.
“After the first week’s box office comes out, submit an application for an extension key.” Lin Nan immediately said to Wang Changtian on the other end of the phone.
"How long? What if you are still beaten back?"
"One month! If you are still beaten back, then Director Wang will come with me to the bureau this time."
< br>"Okay!"
Wang Changtian's voice was also very decisive, China Film Group cannot be trusted!
……
Huayi.
Wang Zhongjun looked at the online box office data with a gloomy look on his face. His heart was bleeding. He dropped 35 million in just one day!
On the other hand, Wang Zhonglei was on the phone, listening to the report from Huayi Cinemas - the schedule of "Detective Chinatown" was not enough, and the attendance rate of "Old Paoer" was less than 8%.
Feng Xiaogang pinched the center of his eyebrows and was not in the right state, and so was Guan Fu.
Originally, everyone had high expectations for "Old Paoer", but unexpectedly, upon its release, it was first suppressed by "Bad Angel" due to its superiority in film attributes;
I finally managed to survive "Bad Angels", but before my box office soared, I was kicked directly into the bottom by "Detective Chinatown"...
A few people had previously said that they would It's a head-on collision, but with this data, what's the point of a head-on collision? Throwing an egg at a rock?
"All our methods, including off-board tricks, are completely useless on Lin Nan's side! Once used, they will only be 'caught'."
Wang Zhonglei After hanging up the phone, he gave me a reminder.
Feng Xiaogang and Guan Yu looked at Wang Zhonglei without saying anything.
At this moment, they are just the starring and director of "Old Paoer"; as for how to compete with Lin Nan, that is Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei's business.
"Director Guan Fang, you continue to take Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng to promote. Today is the 9th day of the movie's release..."
"Yes, I will do it, Director Wang."
“Brother?”
“Do your best and obey fate!
Director Feng, don't wait any longer for your "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", start filming it in the next two days. "
Wang Zhongjun said helplessly and feebly that he had really fallen into Lin Nan's hands, and there was no way he could do anything! That guy is the major shareholder of Weibo!
"Well, These two days will be enough. "
"By the way, big brother, Ye Ning has started taking annual leave. "Wang Zhonglei reminded.
"Well, the group will make some personnel adjustments this month to reserve a seat for him; and those shares, divest them in advance..."
"Okay."
Wang Zhonglei nodded. As the general manager, he would move his position and share the power for Ye Ning.
