Chapter 591: Star Master's Invitation

As the first special effects blockbuster since Longlin Pictures went public, the release of "Daughter Country" has not only attracted the attention of the entertainment industry, but also the securities market.

In terms of stocks, it has been falling for a while, falling below the 40 mark, if the box office of "Daughter Country" is strong after its release, I believe it will not take a few trading days to rise back to 50. And if the box office performance is not good, the stock trend is not easy to say.

Although all the stocks in his hands are currently banned, and the rise and fall of the stock has little to do with Lu Lin, the stock price represents the market's confidence in him. With the release date of "Daughter Country" approaching, even Lu Lin became a little nervous, and often asked about the publicity situation.

"The chairman can rest assured that although the ticket supplement has been suspended, the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie has not diminished, and now the pre-sale ticket office of "Daughter Country" has exceeded 200 million!" Dong Yi, head of the publicity and distribution department of Longlin Pictures, introduced the latest situation to Lu Lin with an excited face.

As for the issue of ticket compensation, it is the state that has stopped the online ticket compensation that has affected the film market since 2014, and preferential activities such as 9.9 yuan and 19.9 yuan will be gone forever.

To put it simply, the ticket price is going up!

And this situation will be in the Spring Festival stalls in 2019, so that the audience intuitively feels that the rise is unexpected!

Many people suddenly found that the original price increase was not only the house, but also movie tickets, apples, cherries, ......!

But fortunately, several new films in the National Day file have increased slightly in price, with an average price of about 30. As a 3D special effects blockbuster focusing on special effects, the average ticket price of "Daughter Country" is only 41 yuan, which is still acceptable.

……

On September 29, Longlin's version of "Daughter Country" held a grand premiere ceremony at the National Stadium in Beijing.

In other words, the cost of holding a premiere in a place like a gymnasium is quite high. Not to mention the venue fee, the cost of a temporary IMAX 3D screen alone is as high as one million.

But the special effects blockbusters produced by Lu Lin Pictures in the past are basically the process of the gymnasium, and if the premiere specifications of "Daughter Country" are weak, they will definitely be hacked in various ways, so there is no need to think about saving money.

In terms of the guest lineup, Lu Lin doesn't force it, after all, he himself is one of the best celebrities in the entertainment industry.

But there was one person who was quite surprising to him, and Feng Xiaogang was shocked, that was Zhou Xingxing.

When Zhou Xingxing, who was wearing a black suit and had gray hair, walked on the red carpet, the reporters on both sides waited for several seconds before taking pictures frantically.

Although Xing Ye has not been in the limelight in the past two years, after all, he is known as "one actor a year, a star in a hundred years", and his appearance is really surprising.

Lu Lin's shock only existed when he had just received the news, and he had already figured out what was going on at this moment.

When greeting each other, he said: "By the way, I talked about making cameos in each other's films before, have you thought of any roles over there?"

Zhou Xingxing paused, looked up at Lu Lin for a few seconds, and then said, "Actually, I came here this time mainly to ask you for a favor!"

Lu Lin said in his heart: "You are also direct enough!" and said with a smile: "There is a suitable role?"

Zhou Xingxing said: "Yes, I want to make a sequel to The King of Comedy, and I want to ask you to play a cameo role in it." ”

Lu Lin smiled: "You won't make a cameo starring role!"

Zhou Xingxing shook his head, "No!"

"That's not going to be a scumbag, I can't play a role that's too pompous!"

Zhou Xingxing smiled: "I can't act myself now, how can I force you!"

Director Wang Jing talked about the reason why Zhou Xingxing went behind the scenes in "Round Table Pie" and said: When a person is old, he can't face it!

Xing Ye is taciturn by nature, but he is crazy and exaggerated on the big screen, and he had to do that for the sake of ideals and livelihood when he was young. When you're older, you can't do that.

Lu Lin is the same, he is now worth hundreds of billions and is well-known at home and abroad. The scared Marco played by the bodyguard in the film, Lu Lin will never come.

There were many people at the premiere, and the two didn't chat a few words, Zhou Xingxing was guided by the staff and entered the guest area, while Lu Lin continued to receive as the host.

Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Chen Wu, Chen Yingjie, Zhang Zhao, Fan Luyuan, Jiang Wei, Wang Zhonglei and others arrived one after another.

Some of these people are co-producers of "Daughter Country", and some of them came to explore the "enemy situation", such as Zhang Zhao, who had several "box office wars" with Longlin Pictures.

As for Huayi's Wang Zhonglei, he came with the idea of cooperation. used to be the first in the industry, but now it's not good.

The "de-filmization" in the past few years made Huayi miss the dividends of the development of the Chinese film market. Not long ago, the "grievance" between Cui Yongyuan and Director Feng implicated Huayi, although the impact has not yet fermented. But Mr. Wang had already seen that something was wrong and began to raise funds in advance to plan for the future.

finally had the opportunity to talk to Lu Lin alone, Wang Zhonglei hurriedly said: "Congratulations, Director Lu, there is another blockbuster released!"

Lu Lin smiled indifferently and said, "Mr. Wang came over to cheer, thank you very much!"

Looking at Lu Lin's high-spirited and breezy appearance, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but think that when he was at the seminar of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" a few years ago, if he chose to support it at that time, Huayi's life would be better now!

"Director Lu is polite, how can we say that we are also old friends! If you are free in the past two days, let's come out for a cup of tea together!"

Lu Lin smiled, "I want to too, but the itinerary is really indispensable!"

Wang Zhonglei's eyes darkened, a little disappointed, thinking back to the moment of Huayi's scenery ten years ago, and then thinking about the present...... , but said: "Yes, then I have time to talk about it!" but he made up his mind to talk to Lu Lin at the premiere dinner.

The so-called hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

He and Lu Lin have never been friends, but Hua Yi and Long Lin are not enemies.

Everyone is a businessman, and in front of interests, everything is discussed!

said that the guests, audiences, and media reporters entered the venue one after another and sat down, but Song Ge suddenly walked out of it, came to Lu Lin's side, smiled and said in surprise: "It's really strange today, Zhou Xingxing and Wang Zhonglei are rare guests, and they all came to see the premiere!"

Lu Lin said with a smile: "It's not unusual, Zhou Xingxing's side is that I owe him a cameo, this time the support is to piggyback, and the main purpose is to invite me." As for Wang Zhonglei, nine times out of ten, it is because our company is newly listed, and we have a lot of cash in hand, so I want to mortgage the equity to get some money to spend!"

Song Ge was quite surprised: "Has Huayi come to this point?"

After a pause, he said: "Huayi Company, it also relies on Director Feng to support the scene, and it doesn't make much film, so it's not interesting to take their equity!"

Lu Lin said: "Huayi's equity is not interesting, but it has a cinema line, and the location and decoration are also available, if they are willing to sell, I think they can consider taking it!"
