Chapter 175: Recruitment
The first-day box office of 42 million in "Those Years" was terrible, but it did not cause any uproar on the Internet, because both the media and fans had long been numb to the box office of Lin Nan's movie and could not be shocked.
And even judging from the response of the movie "Those Years", it is not unbelievable that this movie can achieve such a box office, although it is a little more than everyone guessed before, but it is still within the acceptable range.
Although it is not shocking, the first-day box office of 42 million is also a very high recognition for a movie, and it also has a strong attraction to fans, at least it is a big weapon for both the producer and the theater side to promote.
Because there have been no blockbusters released recently, they also successfully led the box office rankings in those years, deserving of the first place, and they were the second big cut.
The weekly box office of "Those Years" reached more than 170 million, which is much stronger than the second place's more than 60 million, which is simply a complete explosion, and according to this result, even if those high-profile blockbusters are released, it is difficult to say whether they can be surpassed.
So after seeing the amazing box office of "Those Years", those blockbusters without exception chose to postpone the release date in order to avoid "Those Years", otherwise the two tigers would compete and no one would be pleased.
In the second week of the release of "Those Years", a post suddenly appeared on the Internet, which was made by a man named Xie Liang who had just returned from the United States, and the post told his story in detail.
When he was in high school, he liked a girl in his class just like Ke Jingteng. It was his tablemate, and he used all the stupid and childish methods he now remembered to express his love to this girl, but he didn't dare to say it like Ke Jingteng, until finally the girl went abroad, and they were separated.
Originally, maybe things were slowly developing because they were getting older, and both parties were looking for someone to marry, but at the end of the film, when he saw Shen Jiayi wearing a wedding dress holding another man's hand, he understood that he had to find the girl in his heart, and he couldn't bear that the man standing next to her when the girl was wearing a wedding dress was not himself.
When he flew to the United States to find the girl. There is nothing sweet about it. There is no vow, only a simple sentence: "I stay, or you and I go!" ”
And the result is that the happy girl chooses to return to China with him and live together. And then he found out. The reason why girls go abroad is because love is unspoken. Because I couldn't bear the pain, I chose to go to another place and change my lifestyle.
made this post, he wanted to thank "Those Years" and Lin Nan. let him find his current girlfriend again, otherwise, he thought he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life!
No matter at any time, gossip is the easiest to become popular, and this post was quickly reprinted everywhere on the Internet, many people were moved after reading it, and at the same time, they were determined to find the girl in their hearts, so a vigorous confession activity kicked off, and the media added fuel to it, building momentum for this event, calling on everyone to confess to her in their hearts!
But this has nothing to do with Lin Nan, after the release of "Those Years", he was idle, basically there was nothing to do, Wei Junbo had already helped him deal with things related to the company's business, and he didn't have to worry about it at all, so Lin Nan, who had nothing to do, also took advantage of the wind of "Those Years" to let Zhan Xiaonan ask for leave from school, and then took Zhan Xiaonan straight to the United States.
There is nothing important to go to the United States this time, it is completely for tourism, to say that he has been to the United States several times, but he has not turned around well, this time it is not easy to be free, so I want to come around.
Lin Nan originally wanted to take his mother with him, but Lin Nan's mother said that she didn't want to disturb Lin Nan's two-person world, and looked at Lin Nan with a very strange look, which made Lin Nan embarrassed.
However, after being reminded by his mother, Lin Nan suddenly had an epiphany that this was such a good opportunity, and at the same time secretly decided that he must take Zhan Xiaonan out more to "play" in the future, it doesn't matter where he goes, it is far from necessary.
Lin Nan and Zhan Xiaonan's trip to the United States went well, and Lin Nan had a very comfortable time these days, looking at the scenery during the day and playing with the "scenery" at night.
When Lin Nan and Zhan Xiaonan were playing in the United States, "Those Years" also reached its peak in China, both word-of-mouth and box office were very powerful, and when the time reached the end of November, "Those Years" was finally topped from the top of the box office list, because of the Chinese New Year, there were more blockbusters at this time, and "Those Years" also entered the end stage of the release period, so the box office was gradually declining.
Although the total box office has not yet been counted, Lin Nan believes that it will definitely not be bad, how much profit a film that can lead the box office list for three weeks can bring to himself, this is not to be calculated at all, so Lin Nan also devoted himself to "interactive entertainment" with Zhan Xiaonan.
On December 6, "Those Years", which had expired in theaters, finally rolled off the production line in major theaters, and only some small theaters in remote places still insisted on screening, of course, these are just small heads.
A few days later, the theater team finally counted the total box office of "Those Years", and in the mainland alone, the film achieved a box office result of 570 million, which can be said to be very rebellious.
When he got the news, Lin Nan was still lying on the bed with Zhan Xiaonan, and then he roughly calculated with his fingers that his net profit after removing all expenses should be close to 170 million, more than double the 80 million in "People in Embarrassment", and this is only the box office income of the mainland, if you count the good Taiwan box office and the later Internet, DVD and various copyright sales, at least 220 million!
Although Lin Nan has never regarded making money as a goal, sometimes, it feels good to see a few more zeros on his account.
At the end of his trip to the United States, Lin Nan visited the headquarters of Twentieth Century Fox and asked for some news about the release of the second part of "Chainsaw" before returning to Haidu.
"Those Years" has been released in China, and the release in Southeast Asia has just begun, and the online sales of "Those Years" finally fell on the head of Blockbuster, after all, Lin Nan and Blockbuster have had many cooperation experiences, plus the conditions given by Blockbuster are indeed the best, so it is inevitable to choose Blockbuster.
After playing for nearly half a month, Lin Nan returned to the company, Lin Nan seemed to be extremely energetic, and Wei Junbo was also beaming, after all, the company is thriving day by day, how can he, the general manager, not be happy?
Lin Nan and Wei Junbo were holding a glass of red wine, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the traffic in the distance through the thick glass, which was their celebration.
"Just say something, don't hold back!" Lin Nan glanced at Wei Junbo who was standing beside him, he knew that Wei Junbo had something to say to him, Wei Junbo was very direct on weekdays, but today he didn't know what was wrong.
After Wei Junbo heard Lin Nan's urging, he knew that his heart was seen through by Lin Nan, so he didn't hide it, and asked Lin Nan after taking a deep breath: "Boss, I want to ask, do you want to make a movie or do you want to be a company?" ”
Meeting Wei Junbo's gaze, Lin Nan knew very well what Wei Junbo meant by asking, if he wanted to make a movie, then the company was the best now, there was no need to expand, no need to do other things, just like a large studio, everything was focused on itself;
But if you want to be a company, then it's not enough to make movies by yourself, you know, a medium-sized film company in Huaxia also produces five or six films a year, and Nanshan Film and Television Company counts the second part of "Chainsaw" that will be released next year, and the annual output is only three, although each one is a high-quality product, and there are several on top of others, but in terms of quantity, it finally falls into the inferior, and if Lin Nan is alone, this number will definitely not have any growth, the director is not an actor, It is impossible to direct many plays at the same time.
Wei Junbo did not avoid Lin Nan's gaze, but kept staring at Lin Nan with burning eyes, he was waiting for Lin Nan's answer, because Lin Nan's choice had a great impact on how he managed the company next.
"Nanshan Film and Television Company will become a company founded by Chinese people and make Hollywood tremble!" Lin Nan's bold words made Wei Junbo's eyes shine, as a general manager, he naturally hoped that Lin Nan would want to make the company bigger and stronger, so that he would have the opportunity to show his skills!
"Since you want to be a company, then you should understand that you alone is not enough!" Wei Junbo said to Lin Nan with a solemn face: "One director, one line, can't support a film and television company!" ”
"I understand!" Lin Nan nodded, he understood what Wei Junbo meant: "What we need is an industrial chain, from content provision, to actor selection, to shooting, sales, and finally a complete industrial chain!" ”
"But now that you are the only one who carries the chain, this will seriously limit the development of the company!" Wei Junbo's eyes flashed and said, obviously there was a solution in his heart: "We should establish a boutique route with you as the core, as well as many public lines to operate together, with the help of you to start the brand and drive the sales of other products, so as to make the company bigger and stronger!" ”
What Wei Junbo said, Lin Nan has actually thought about it for a long time, and now that Wei Junbo has mentioned it, then Lin Nan has decided to solve this problem first, so he showed a smile to Wei Junbo: "Then we should recruit troops now!" (To be continued......)
