Jia Yanhai hurriedly smiled and said: "Hey, Director Lu, you can't say that, don't overturn a boatload of people with one rod! The one we recommend to you is a big beauty full of vitality, and she will definitely be able to add luster to the film at that time." ”

Lu Lin became more and more helpless, but he wanted to shoot the drama "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" very much, and thought about it for a while: "Okay, when the crew is established, bring it to me to take a look." ”

When Jia Yanhai saw Lu Lin loosen his mouth, his face immediately bloomed with a smile, and he said, "Okay, Director Lu, then we can settle this matter!"

Lu Lin said: "That's natural, I don't need to sign a letter of intent for you!"

Jia Yanhai said with a smile: "No, your Director Lu is now the only billion-dollar director in China, how can you do something that doesn't count!"

Lu Lin smiled and didn't take the compliment. After separating from the café with Jia Yanhai, he went back to the car and called Yingbao first.

I was surprised when I picked up the phone over there, because there were more text messages between the two of them, and there were fewer direct calls.

"Yingbao, do you have any work arrangements lately?"

Ying Bao sighed: "Not yet, originally Sister Yu considered helping me take on a few smaller roles." But then she said that my worth had risen, and I had to wait for a while to arrange a job! Now I stay in the company every day and take classes with a few trainees. ”

Lu Lin smiled: "You tell her, I asked you to make my second movie, the second female lead, but the role is very likable, and the role is also very important!"

Ying Bao was ecstatic when she heard this, her tone was calm, and she solemnly said: "Thank you, Director Lu, I ...... I will go all out and work hard to perform this drama well, and I will never drag the crew back!"

Lu Lin thought of the young lady, and said in his heart: "It's really not your turn to drag your feet!" but said: "Okay, I'll call you and tell your agent about this." By the way, tomorrow night's celebration banquet, remember to dress pretty!"

After hanging up the phone, Yingbao was very excited, but there were people around her who did not behave well. Holding his mobile phone, he tiptoed out of the company and went to the roof of the building, and when he saw that there was no one around, he covered his cheeks with both hands and smiled: "Ah, I'm going to play the second female lead, I'm so happy, I'm so happy! Come on, come on, you're the best!"

After saying this, he muttered in a low voice: "I don't know who can play the heroine in Director Lu's play, is it 'Sidan Shuangbing'? Yes, Lu Lin is now a billion-dollar director! It must be great to be able to play the heroine." I'll be following behind and stealing from the teacher, haha, I'm so smart!"

Ying Bao was playing silly music on the rooftop, while Lu Lin drove back to the hotel to rest.

Early in the morning of the 20th, yesterday's box office results were released, and "The Return of the Great Sage" won 53 million box office results on the 19th, with a cumulative total of 1.4802 billion, and 1.5 billion is in sight.

However, the box office of the premiere of "New Shaolin Temple" was only 20 million, which really fell below a bunch of glasses. What's worse is that the reputation is not good, and the Douban score has dropped to 5.9 points, falling into the ranks of bad movies. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get the total box office of 210 million in my previous life.

At this moment, many filmmakers realize that "New Shaolin Temple" cannot stop or even delay the pace of "The Return of the Great Sage" to attract money. What is the limit of "The Return of the Great Sage"? Will it break through 2 billion?

Lu Lin's judgment on it is difficult, the market has a limit, and the high ticket prices of movies are destined to keep some audiences out of the theater.

Originally, a regular 3D ticket price was 90 yuan, and the MIAX3D ticket price was 120 yuan. But nowadays, the 3D ticket price of "The Return of the Great Sage" is basically maintained at around 120 yuan, while MIAX3D is sold for 180 or even 200. This is just the counter price of the theater, and the scalpers will only get higher.

In other words, a couple goes to see a "Return of the Great Sage", and the most basic ticket price is between 240 yuan and 400 yuan. Not counting the cost of meals, rides, popcorn, and drinks.

This is the beginning of 11 years, and the average salary in the country is only how much! Not to mention that these fans may have watched "Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" within a month.

Then the predictable consequence is that "The Return of the Great Sage" is likely to stop before the 2 billion mark, and the "New Shaolin Temple", which has a poor reputation, will be tragic nine times out of ten, and it will become cannon fodder for the consumption potential of the Chinese New Year stalls in the film market!

No matter how much the audience likes to go to the theater, they also have to consider their daily expenses. If it's a movie, just watch it, what a family!

Not only "New Shaolin Temple", but also films released within a month or two after the painting of "The Return of the Great Sage" will become cannon fodder nine times out of ten. Just like after "The Mermaid" won 3.4 billion, many movies that are expected to become hits collectively hit the streets, and the film market is sluggish.

But these are not what Lu Lin can worry about, at eight o'clock in the evening, Park Hyatt Hotel in Beijing, Bo Na and Guang Xian jointly held a celebration dinner for the crew of "The Return of the Great Sage".

The people who came to participate were Bona, glamorous executives, and the crew members of "The Return of the Great Sage", basically no one. and friends in the business community who cheered for Yu Dong and Wang Changtian.

The atmosphere was very lively, and even the most important toasting part, Yu Dong and Wang Changtian behaved very casually, and they wanted a relaxed atmosphere. Otherwise, because he is afraid that the big guy can't play in the present, it will be easy to be criticized.

Ying Bao is beautiful and moving in a long white dress, but she keeps her head down and focuses on eating. Yaya wore a sky blue dress with a refreshing look. walked up to Ying Bao and said in a low voice: "Hey, have you heard of Director Lu's new film plan!"

Ying Bao was stuffing food into his mouth, swallowing it before saying, "Yes, he said that I should keep the schedule!"

"Ah, did he inform you?" Yaya was surprised, seeing the eyes of the people around her, she hurriedly smiled embarrassedly, nodded slightly at the person next to her, and then asked Yingbao: "What kind of play, heroine?"

Ying Bao was stunned, "He didn't say hey, how can I be the heroine, it's just a small role, but I'm already very happy, haha!"

Yaya's heart was sour, her face was normal, and she smiled: "Congratulations, little bun!"

Ying Bao smiled sweetly, said thank you, and continued to work hard. Yaya held a wine glass, looked around resentfully, and saw Lu Lin talking to Yu Dong in the distance, and didn't dare to go over.

Qiao Dashan came over with a wine glass, smiled on his face, and said, "Oh, Sister Yaya, I respect you!"

The girl took a sip of the red wine in the glass and said, "Are you going to toast?"

Qiao Dashan said hehehe: "Yes, if it weren't for Director Lu, I don't know how long it would take! Who wants to play a pig Bajiehuo, but I have to thank him!" said this, but he didn't dare to disturb Lu Lin and Yu Dong's conversation.

In the distance, Yu Dong asked, "Have you thought about it, will you cooperate with Wanda in the next play?"
