The appearance of the dark horse "People in Embarrassment" on the weekly box office list has made more people interested in this work, and after the theater saw that the box office results of "People in Embarrassment" have been soaring, they have once again adjusted the film schedule for "People in Embarrassment", but the number of screens cannot be increased, and even has to be reduced on the basis of the original, because the "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou is star-studded and half the publicity is finally released at the beginning of 06.

The release of "Hero" has a better treatment than "Shaolin Football" on the same day, with 8,000 screens on the day of the premiere, and these screens are naturally snatched from other movies, even "Shaolin Football" and "Batman" will inevitably be drained of resources, not to mention other movies that are not too hot, and it is difficult to survive that has been squeezed.

The release time of domestic movies is generally four weeks, and in the Lunar New Year file, many movies may only be released for one week, and then they will be beaten into a small black house.

But even so, everyone who has a little confidence in their works is still desperately squeezing into the Lunar New Year file, the reason is that in the two months of the Lunar New Year file, fans' consumption desire and spending power have reached a peak in the year, so that every movie released during this period has the opportunity to be tested by the market, once it becomes popular, it will become a dazzling dark horse!

It's just that in this year's Chinese New Year, this honor belongs to Lin Nan and belongs to "People in Embarrassment"!

On the first day of the release of "Hero", the box office reached 40 million, directly refreshing the record just set by "Shaolin Football" ten days ago, which is the innate advantage brought by big cost, big production, and big stars.

Of course. This is also inseparable from the quality of the film, if it is a bad movie. Even if there are a lot of celebrities supporting the field, they will not reach such heights.

The success of "Hero" has not only thrilled the media and fans. Even Lin Nan can only smack his tongue secretly, Zhang Yimou really deserves to be the leading director in China, and his creativity and box office appeal are basically unmatched, of course, this is on the premise that he did not sacrifice the classics in his head.

Now, Lin Nan has basically been able to maintain a normal mind, "People in Embarrassment" has already exceeded his expectations, and he is very satisfied with the current results, and there is nothing to worry about. So Lin Nan shifted his attention to another matter.

"What? Are you going to the United States? Wei Junbo's eyes widened and he looked at Lin Nan in surprise.

Lin Nan sat on the chair very calmly, Wei Junbo's shock did not make his emotions fluctuate: "It's not me, it's us!" ”

"Why are you going to the United States at this time? "People in Embarrassment" is still being released, and there will be public screenings in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, as well as the production and sales of online copyrights and DVD recordings, and we still have a lot to do! Wei Junbo didn't know what Lin Nan thought, but as an employee. He felt that he needed to explain the actual situation to his boss.

After Wei Junbo finished speaking, Lin Nan nodded to show that he knew, and let Wei Junbo sit on the sofa before he said with a smile: "These things are not important, "People in Embarrassment" has already been on track. There won't be any problems, you can do these things with anyone, and if you don't worry, we can also control them remotely! ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking. Wei Junbo frowned and thought for a long time before he reluctantly nodded: "Okay." I'll arrange it, but I'm still curious. What are we going to do in the United States? ”

"Find someone!" Lin Nan looked down through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and when he thought of the next movie to be filmed, Lin Nan's tone had an unconcealable sense of antiquity.

If you want to go to the United States, Wei Junbo is fine, but Lin Nan is more troublesome, and it will take at least two weeks to go through various procedures, and in these two weeks, Lin Nan accompanied Zhan Xiaonan, who had already finished the exam, back to Xijing, and walked around his home and Zhan Xiaonan's home every day, this kind of ordinary people's leisurely and comfortable life Lin Nan has not experienced for a long time.

In the second week of the release of "People in Embarrassment", although it was not as good as the results of the first week, there was no major decline, and the box office results also broke through the 100 million mark, reaching 100.4 million yuan, which at first glance seemed to be a little higher than the 96 million on the list last week, but that was because "People in Embarrassment" was only released for five days last week, and this week was full of seven days.

So on the whole, there is still a slight decline in performance, but this is a normal thing, all movies are like this, after experiencing a peak, they will slowly cool down.

This week, the champion on the box office list did not surprise anyone, "Hero" directly became the undisputed box office king with a box office score of 190 million in the first week, and it is foreseeable that this box office record can be maintained for a long, long time, according to the speculation of the mainstream media and many professionals in the industry, it is estimated that there is no problem with this record to be maintained until next year's Chinese New Year!

Although "Shaolin Football" was surpassed by "Hero", its strength was still strong, ranking second with a score of 130 million.

As for the third, it is the most gratifying point for Lin Nan, because of policy restrictions, the public release time of foreign films in the domestic Chinese New Year file can only be two weeks, and even in this last week, the theater side has tightened restrictions on the movie "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow" because of pressure from above.

As a result, the box office of "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow" was only 93 million in the second week, and it was left behind by "People in Embarrassment".

It is difficult to judge whether the policy restrictions on foreign blockbusters are good or bad, in a sense, this is a manifestation of lack of self-confidence, which means that domestic films simply do not dare to compete fairly with foreign blockbusters; But this is also a fact, at least nowadays, domestic films are not competitive with foreign blockbusters, let alone fair competition, even in this seriously unfair competition.

If there were no such policy restrictions, Chinese-language films would have been abolished long ago.

……

The passports of Lin Nan and the few people accompanying the company were quickly processed, and after everything was ready, Lin Nan and his party boarded the plane to the United States.

Whether it is in the previous life or in this life, this is the first time that Lin Nan has gone abroad in the true sense, although his current identity is very different from his previous life, but it is impossible not to be excited.

In addition to Wei Junbo, who came to the United States with Lin Nan this time, there were also several staff members of Nanshan Film and Television Company.

Among them, Lin Nan and Wei Junbo are responsible for decision-making, and these staff members are here to help, of course, Li Zhenning, the secretary, is naturally also by Lin Nan's side, but this luggage Zhenning also has an important task, that is, to serve as Lin Nan's translator.

Wei Junbo has studied in the United States, and his English level is needless to say, and the level of the selected staff is naturally not bad, so in fact, only Lin Nan's English level is not good in this group of people.

"How's it going?" Sitting on the plane, Lin Nan asked Wei Junbo.

Wei Junbo sat next to Lin Nan and took out a stack of documents and introduced them to Lin Nan, all of which were resumes, which was the purpose of Lin Nan's visit to the United States this time.

"In the United States, there are many excellent special effects makeup artists, and the United States is different from us, although their special effects makeup artists work for various companies, they are generally very free, and the company basically does not object to them going out to pick up their own work, so this will not be a problem." Wei Junbo first said the general situation, then paused and continued: "The only question is whether these special effects makeup artists are willing to go to Huaxia with us!" ”

After Wei Junbo finished speaking, Lin Nan also frowned, indeed as Wei Junbo said, if you let this group of makeup artists go to Europe or South America, there may be no problem, but it is more difficult to let them go to Huaxia, because of the huge differences in living customs and language, many people are actually reluctant to go to Huaxia.

With a sigh, Lin Nancai said: "If there are difficulties, overcome them, this part of the country is indeed worse than Hollywood, for the smooth shooting of the next movie, we must find a good enough special effects makeup artist to bring back this time!" ”

Wei Junbo nodded after hearing this: "This is a few hopeful ones that have been sorted out, let me tell you about their specific situation!" ”

Next, Wei Junbo began to explain to Lin Nan one by one the people on his resume, which he asked the people below to work overtime to screen out after receiving Lin Nan's instructions, on the one hand, to ensure the personal level of the makeup artist, and on the other hand, to ensure that there is the possibility of moving.

……

When he got off the plane and stepped on a piece of land that he had never set foot on before, Lin Nan only felt that there seemed to be a lot of pride in his chest, that is, the people in this land had no power to fight back against the film and television industry of their country, that is, Hollywood in this land made the government of his country have to erect such a restriction that represents lack of confidence!

Lin Nan suddenly began to understand the obsession of Ge Yalong and their generation, in this world, Huaxia had never lost, and this time, they still didn't want to lose.

Their fathers resisted the bombardment of the cannons of the Western powers with their flesh and blood, and if they lose to a few movies today, it will not only be a shame, but they will not even be able to see their fathers after death.

If it weren't for the fear of being treated as a psychopathy and embarrassing Huaxia, Lin Nan really wanted to yell here and vent, how much change his appearance could bring to this world Lin Nan didn't know, but he would try to make some changes. (To be continued......)
