Chapter 956 Lin Nan, do you want to... earn some money at the box office?
The premiere of Bad Monkey's "Nian Beast War" could not be described as "shabby". It was really compared to the premiere of "Macau 3" next door.
But who knows, the latter is a film jointly produced by China Star and Bona, and it has a gathering of big names. Naturally, there are countless celebrities and entertainers from Hong Kong and mainland China.
Coupled with the fact that Liu Dehua led Zhang Xueyou and Zhang Jiahui to sing a cappella song "Tuen'er" in front of many media; good guys, there are entertainment headlines and hot searches on the entire Internet!
At noon, Lin Nan received a call from Ning Hao. This couple will not go back to their hometown on New Year's Eve and have to worry about "The Battle of the Nian Beasts".
"I originally thought you were calling me to say New Year greetings, but then I thought, even if you want to say New Year's greetings, you have to wait until the morning after tomorrow? After doing this for a long time, you came to complain to me!"
"Since "Incense" "After so many years, I have almost forgotten what it feels like to lose money in a movie. This time, I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble."
Although there was laughter in Ning Hao's voice, it was clear in his tone. Can hear negative connotations. It was a bit noisy, obviously the premiere luncheon wasn't over yet.
"Oh, then I can only wish you good luck. We are also competitors for 8 days, don't worry, we won't show mercy. Haha..."
"Haha, Damn you, you are so mouthy. I just heard them say that you and Yifei went to Xiying’s dinner yesterday?
It’s Chinese New Year, is this a homecoming for you two? Or is there some shady ‘dealing’ with Xiying? "
Hearing this, Lin Nan was a little speechless. It spread so fast!
" Xiying is a state-owned enterprise giant in the industry in my hometown and an acquaintance who has worked with me. , inviting me and Yifei to have a meal, is this normal? You people are doing all the gossip every day..."
While Lin Nan and Ning Hao were chatting, there were indeed many industry leaders who were paying attention to what was just reported today. Yesterday, he and Liu Yifei were together News about going to Xiying Dinner
"Based on my understanding of Xiying, I caught Lin Nan, but I don't want to show off my fellow countrymen's feelings and impress them because my fellow countrymen are poor." wool? ”
La Peikang teased in a matter-of-fact tone.
“That’s wrong, over there at Xiying, this is called ‘township sentiment’.”
Han Sanping corrected. He could tell that La Peikang looked down upon the current Xiying, and he probably had the same attitude towards Ren Zhonglun.
But no matter how you say it, even after more than ten years of isolation, Xiying is still one of the six major domestic film groups and the four major groups in the national film industry layout. It has the largest total number of films exported and the number of international awards it has won. The largest number of state-owned enterprises are far ahead, and they are all ranked first!
To be able to maintain such a record after being lonely for more than ten years shows how abnormal Xiying was in those years and how rich his family was!
"The director of "The Founding of the Army", Liu Weiqiang from Hong Kong, is willing to take it. We plan to start preparations after the Spring Festival. After all, there are so many roles to be cast, and the actors have to coordinate their schedules until a few months after the Army Day. , It’s very time-consuming and labor-intensive.”
Han Sanping nodded. He came here yesterday just to talk about the film preparations. Unexpectedly, La Peikang decided on the director today:
< br>"Liu Weiqiang, just Liu Weiqiang. Lao Huang and I are just the chief planner, art director and producer, and we will not interfere in the group's choice of director."
Hearing what Han Sanping said, La Peikang's face changed. His smile inadvertently grew wider, and he said politely: "Dr. Han is the initiator of the 'Foundation of the Republic Trilogy', so he can't be careless when it comes to the final work."
As a long-time " "A mountain eagle", how could he not see through the mentality of this successor; unlike his radical pioneering and domineering style during his tenure, La Peikang was simply arrogant, power-loving, conservative, but lacking in ability.
Just as Han Sanping was feeling emotional, he heard La Peikang talk about another thing:
"Recently, I heard rumors that Ning Ying is preparing a huge film, and the investment amount is expected to be very large. Gao Gao is very high;
I even asked someone to communicate with me, hey, Director Han, guess what? They actually rejected our good intentions from China Film Group... They are just like guarding against wolves..."
When Han Sanping heard this, he was even more speechless and a little contemptuous. Isn't Ning Ying just guarding against wolves?
Going to grab food from a brother's unit? He had never done this before. He always starts projects, big projects, and works alone!
…………
No. 5 ended in a hurry. On the 6th, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei couldn't help but go out for a walk again, and then they were "captured alive" and finally ran away.
On the 7th, the time finally came to New Year’s Eve.
In the morning, Lin Nan drove the Mercedes-Benz SUV Liu Yifei bought for Lao Lintou and took her to have a meal with Yan Ni.
This is also the first time to have dinner with fellow villagers in my hometown. Yan Ni had invited Lin Nan before during the Chinese New Year, but Lin Nan declined at that time;
This time Miss Liu was also there, and she had nothing to do, so the two of them readily agreed.
But when I came back, looking at the news reports online, it seemed that Zhang Yimou and Jing Tian were also back.
"Directed by director Lin Nan and produced by Liu Yifei, "Detective Chinatown", a Lunar New Year comedy, action, and detective commercial blockbuster, has grossed a total of 2.908 billion as of 6 o'clock this afternoon..."< br>
“As of 6:00 this afternoon, the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Kung Fu Panda 3" has grossed a total box office of 760 million, and the daily box office has shown a decline."
"Composed by Zhao Benshan, Yan Ni, Starring Reyi Zha and others, and with a large number of guest stars from the industry, the movie "Happy New Year" has been released for nearly seven days, and the total box office has unfortunately stopped at more than 32 million."
...
Although New Year’s Eve and Spring Festival are two days next to each other, they are the dividing line between the Lunar New Year.
The movie market will be very weak the day before, especially after noon, most theaters will be almost empty, and many theaters will even be closed for holidays;
But for more than ten hours On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the film market was in another hot scene;
The two are so different and extremely extreme! All because of the traditional concept of Chinese people: on New Year’s Eve, families reunite and stay up late!
Liu Yifei was holding her mobile phone and making video calls with Liu Xiaoli, grandma and others;
Lin Nan would flash past her from time to time, showing her face and shaking her high ponytail. The atmosphere was very good for a while, laughing. There were constant voices and jokes.
"Oh, that's annoying. Go and get busy. I'm waiting to eat the New Year's Eve dinner you made."
Liu Yifei grunted and pushed Lin Nan away, which was actually urging her. Lin Nan went to help Lao Lintou; because she was ordered not to enter the kitchen, well, it was definitely not because of her clumsiness!
"Okay, Mom, you and Sissi chat slowly, I'm going to help."
"Ask Sissy to wash the dishes..."
Lin Nan pretended not to have heard what Liu Xiaoli said, and it would be useless if he did; Old Lin would not allow it, so in the end Lin Nan had to come!
At around 7:40 in the evening, a large table full of dishes was ready.
Lao Lintou has also been learning continuously over the years. He has dabbled in many southern cuisines, maybe just for today? !
"Come on, you two can start first."
While greeting Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, Lao Lin went to turn on the TV;
Although he also thought that the current Spring Festival Gala was boring, but without that sound on New Year's Eve, he always felt unsatisfied, so he just thought it was just listening to Make some noise.
"Hey, that's right, I heard that there are six-year-old children in this year's Spring Festival Gala?"
Old Lin returned to his seat, looked at Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, and asked.
In his eyes, his son and daughter-in-law should know this. Well, there is nothing in the celebrity world that they don’t know!
"I guess not...but didn't I show up at the Liaoning Spring Festival Gala yesterday?"
Lin Nan knew that countless viewers were looking forward to seeing Teacher Six tonight, but...
"Why "No, didn't you say there would be?" Old Lin frowned and didn't understand.
“Because the Spring Festival Gala programs need to be reviewed many times, but until this afternoon I haven’t heard the news that Teacher Six’s program has been confirmed, and...”
Liu Yifei was halfway through her answer. He stopped, biting his chopsticks and looked at Lin Nan.
"And what can I say about the current Spring Festival Gala? It is not for ordinary people to watch.
The more you want to watch what program and which star you want to watch, the less the review team will give you, and may even deliberately The review will be more stringent, and finally it will be rejected..."
Lin Nan said with a smile, very straightforward.
That group of people has completely separated from the bottom, and their emotions and sorrows are incompatible with each other. The Spring Festival Gala wants to give you lectures and lectures, talk about their outlook on life and values... "Hey... let's start." ”
Old Lintou glanced at the Spring Festival Gala hosts who were laughing and talking on the TV screen, and then sighed... He had been looking forward to it for a long time, was it in vain?
When it came time to actually eat, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei didn't eat much;
Because calls, text messages, and social messages from people in the circle were pouring in one after another. Among them was Jing Tian, who had just returned. She sent blessing messages to both Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.
On New Year's Day, the intermittent sound of firecrackers can be heard from four to five o'clock in the morning. Control in my hometown is still not as strict as in the capital!
Whenever they are noisy and half asleep, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei squeeze each other tightly, um, continue to sleep...
...
Once a year, the most "violent" time in the film market has arrived; at eight o'clock in the morning, the entire Internet is already in a state of boiling.
"Co-produced by Bona and China Star, directed by Wang Jing, starring Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua, Zhang Xueyou, Zhang Jiahui, Xiang Mingqiang, Xiang Zuo, Li Yuchun and others, the Spring Festival commercial blockbuster "Macau "Wind and Cloud 3" is officially released, with 26.4% of the film's schedule today..."
"Co-produced by Xinghui, China Film, Shanghai Film, and Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Zhou Xingchi, starring Deng Chao, Zhang Yuqi, Lin Yun and others Starring, the science fiction, comedy, and romance movie "Mermaid" was released in theaters across the country early this morning, and achieved today's highest screening rate of 33.7%..."
"Starring Aaron Kwok, Gong Li, Feng Shaofeng, Xiao Shen Yang, etc. Starring, the magical blockbuster "Journey to the West: The Monkey King and the White Bone Demon"... ranked third in the film schedule, with a 25.6% rate."
"Produced by Bad Monkey, the animated film "Nian Beast Wars" accounts for only 6.3% of today's schedule..."
...
When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei got up and washed up, Director Lin fell in love with Miss Liu, and he received a New Year's red envelope from Lao Lintou.
While eating breakfast, the two of them flipped through the news on the Internet;
As expected, in addition to the most popular movies during the Spring Festival, the news about the Spring Festival Gala being scolded was also on the hot search hanging.
The reason is that it fooled audiences across the country!
The early stage of the hype was so high-profile, but Teacher Six did not appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. His program was indeed rejected by the review team.
“There are really only 8 days left, and the film schedule rate was suddenly cut to 4%?!”
Looking at the film schedule rate of “Detective Chinatown”, Lin Nan couldn’t help but smiled.
"8 days, 2.908 billion. Lin Nan, this..." Liu Yifei frowned slightly, hesitating but still did not speak.
"I know, it's very difficult to get 92 million in 8 days! Just leave it to fate."
Lin Nan narrowed his eyes and said. Suddenly, the call came.
Looking at the caller ID, even Liu Yifei was happy: "Dr. Wang, are you here to pay New Year greetings? Hehe..."
"Dr. Wang, happy New Year." Lin Nan answered the call Phone, Liu Yifei said in unison.
“Lin Nan, Yifei, happy New Year.
It's a bit dangerous, Director Lin. "
The tone of Wang Changtian's last sentence was a bit serious, and both Lin Nan and Liu Yifei knew what he meant.
"Well, it is a bit dangerous. "
"Lin Nan, do you want to... earn some money at the box office? "
Hearing this, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
"It's only been half a year since I publicly named Anle Pictures, Director Wang. I want to lose face."
This sentence was Lin Nan's answer, and Liu Yifei's face was already full of shame. A smile filled with relief and support, very sweet and sunny.
Wang Changtian was silent. Among the several producers, only Guangwang needed the 3 billion figure the most, because Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, Shanghai Film and Wanda Pictures are not listed companies!
After a long time, Lao Wang sighed, a little disappointed: "Okay, although it looks very uncertain, it is not without a chance... As a great director, your face is the most important!"
"That's it, Director Wang. It's best not to think about this kind of thing in Lin Nan Pictures' movies."
"I know, let's meet again when you get back..."
Just after hanging up the phone, before Lin Nan and Liu Yifei could complain about Wang Changtian, they saw Lao Lin coming back from a walk with his head behind his back.
“It’s only the first day of the Lunar New Year. Do you two have work matters?”
“Dad, there are no fixed holidays in this industry. Even today, there are Lin Nan’s movies. It's about to be released." Liu Yifei explained with a sweet smile.
"I know, I went to see it earlier and called a lot of old guys, haha..."
As he spoke, Old Lintou walked up to him and his expression became more serious: "You two, have you decided when to go back?"
Old Lintou asked this question very tangledly. On the one hand, he hoped Lin Nan and Liu Yifei can stay at home for a few more days. On the one hand, they also think that they have jobs and are both busy people, so they cannot delay the time of their two children.
This is also the tangled heart of most ordinary parents when facing their children during the Spring Festival every year.
"The eighth day of the Lunar New Year, that day is the 15th, and my movie happens to be released that day.
After returning to the capital, I will deal with some trivial matters and rest for two days, and then I will He Yifei is going abroad to Hollywood and has a job there.”
Lin Nan said truthfully, Liu Yifei nodded.
"The eighth day of the lunar month? Counting today, there are still... 7 days? Okay, the eighth day of the lunar month is good, the eighth day of the lunar month is good..."
Old Lintou seems to be able to change his face, The smile suddenly appeared again. Immediately afterwards, I started planning what to eat for lunch, but breakfast was still in front of me!
Liu Yifei shook her head gently at Lin Nan, smiling and mouthing: "It's good that Dad is happy."
Lin Nan instantly understood that many times, Liu Yifei was better than him. Sons are more attentive;
Of course, the same goes for Lin Nan when it comes to her mother-in-law, who is more dedicated than Liu Yifei; after all, her mother-in-law will have to take care of the children in the future!
