Chapter 476: "No Man's Land" is released

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 ignition."

For countless Chinese people, 21:10:04 on September 25, Kyoto time is undoubtedly a historic moment, with a "ignition" command, the rocket carrying the Shenzhou 7 manned spacecraft and 3 astronauts, surrounded by flames, rose steadily into the sky, accompanied by a huge roar, in the quiet night sky of the Gobi Desert drew an elegant arc, flying into the vast space.

"Bang bang." "Oh, that's great." When the chairman and staff members applauded warmly on the TV screen, countless people from all over the country also cheered, shouted, and applauded the smooth launch of the rocket.

Lin Yuquan, Liu Yifei, Wang Luodan, Liu Ye, Zhou Xun and the upper and lower staff of the "Immediate Rescue" crew are naturally among them.

Applause vigorously, Lin Yuquan's expression was full of pride and excitement, this is a milestone in China's aviation industry, under the technological monopoly of European and American powers, the Chinese have realized their dream of flying through their own hands, which is extremely exciting.

The picture after the rocket takes off is presented in front of countless people through the TV screen, and 120 seconds after the rocket takes off, the escape tower separates; 138 seconds, booster separation; 198 seconds, fairing detached; In 578 seconds, the ship and arrow were separated, and when the time came to 21:19:43, the Shenzhou 7 spacecraft entered the predetermined orbit, and the Shenzhou 7 manned spacecraft was successfully launched.

"This kind of picture is so spectacular, Brother Yuquan, will you shoot interstellar sci-fi films in the future?" Liu Yifei said.

"Who knows, maybe!" Looking at the picture on the TV screen, Lin Yuquan smiled.

Since Lin Yuquan's birthday. The filming of "Immediate Rescue" did not encounter too many difficulties. And with the smooth launch of Shenzhou VII. Although the filming of the earthquake rescue scene is far more difficult than the shooting of ordinary scenes, the filming of "Immediate Rescue" broke out with amazing efficiency under the orders of the three armed forces, and everyone in the crew is full of enthusiasm and excellent work, and every day passes means that one shot after another, one scene after another is declared successful.

The smooth shooting of the film is undoubtedly exciting, and after watching the edited versions of several movies, Lin Yuquan showed a very satisfied look. Continuing the previous work, "Fatal Bend 3" maintains the level of thriller and horror on the basis of a certain innovation, although it is not very outstanding, but it must be able to excite many avid fans of horror films, and the preparation and filming of the sequel "Fatal Bend 4" can already be put on the agenda. Oka continued to serve, and he did well when he took over the filming of "Fatal Bend 3".

And given that James. Gang himself has a good level of screenwriting, and Lin Yuquan has plans to envelop the other party and make the other party the exclusive director of Summit Entertainment. Dawning Films did a good job in this regard and came to Hollywood. He is ready to carry forward this fine tradition, and in doing so, he can also better solve the problem of script supply.

The movie "Black Valentine's Day" directed by Wen Ziren brought a lot of surprises to Lin Yuquan, Wen Ziren is indeed a very good horror film, although the sound effects of the film have not yet been fully produced, but from the picture alone, he can already feel that this will be a suffocating horror movie, the father of chainsaw is the father of chainsaw.

Thinking of the amazing potential that he found in the previous chat with Wen Ziren, he is almost inevitable to let the other party be the exclusive director of Summit Entertainment, if the father of chainsaw joins Summit Entertainment, maybe he can bring Ning Haozhi's role to Dawning Movie to Summit Entertainment, which is really exciting.

"Twilight: New Moon", how to evaluate it? Chris. Columbus is worthy of Chris. Columbus, a bedtime storyteller, under his direction, "Twilight: New Moon" has become more playful and joyful, more pleasing to the eye, and now that the visual effects have not been added, Lin Yuquan believes that with an additional $15 million investment, this vampire romance movie will give fans of the novel a more fantastical viewing effect.

There is no doubt that the preparation and filming of the third part of the series, "Twilight: Lunar Eclipse", can also be put on the agenda, Lin Yuquan can't find a reason not to shoot a sequel, maybe the film has not been released yet, and the box office results cannot be predicted for the time being, but he is not worried about it, he believes in his judgment, this will be a box office blockbuster, and the only thing he is worried about is Chris. Whether Columbus is willing to continue directing, it is necessary to know that Chris . Columbus is the director of the world-famous "Home Alone" and "Harry. Potter, but both have only directed the first two, which has to be worrying.

And Xiao Yang's "Old Boy" is the movie that moved Lin Yuquan the most, when Xiao Yang took out the script and sang the theme song of the same name live, he knew that this movie was very good, and the fact is also true, this movie is too lethal, it is completely a powerful tear gas, anyway, he didn't bear it himself, Yifei and Wang Luodan didn't stand it either, they all said that they would help Xiao Yang promote and pull the box office after the film was released.

As a sign of sincerity, Lin Yuquan did not contact Chris. Columbus, Wen Ziren, James. Gang's affairs are handed over to others, but he himself does not pay attention to it, which is related to his layout in Hollywood.

At this stage, the preparation and filming of "Twilight: Lunar Eclipse" is the most important, so the first thing Lin Yuquan contacted was Chris. Columbus.

"What, Chris you don't want to continue directing Twilight: Lunar Eclipse, why? Could it be that the cooperation between us is not pleasant? Lin Yuquan didn't expect that as soon as he mentioned the filming of "Twilight: Lunar Eclipse", he would start with Chris. Columbus heard the bad results, and when he finished filming "Harry. After the second episode of the Potter film, "The Vanishing Chamber", Chris . Columbus was similarly reluctant to continue filming a third episode.

"Of course not, I feel very happy to work with you Lin, but after filming "Twilight" and "New Moon" in a row, my spirit has been exhausted, and my enthusiasm for filming has dropped sharply, not only that, but more importantly, the overall style of "Twilight" actually conflicts with me, and the shooting of the first two parts alone has exhausted me. Frankly. I don't have the confidence to harness the more pathetic "Lunar Eclipse". ”

Chris. Columbus sighed. If possible, of course he hopes to continue to cooperate with Lin Yuquan, in the process of filming "Twilight" and "New Moon", Lin Yuquan gave him enough creative space, which is difficult for him to get in other film companies, but unfortunately, he can't do it.

Lin Yuquan was silent for a moment, as recognized as the most competent family comedy director, Chris. Columbus was undoubtedly the best at "Home Alone" as a childlike comedy. Under his direction, "Twilight" is very good to watch, but it is not extreme in terms of emotion. It was this that Columbus discovered this, which is why he categorically refused to continue directing the sequel, and if it were him, he would do the same.

"Alright then, Chris, I won't force you, but I hope to have more opportunities to work with you in the future." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Of course. If there is a suitable script, I would be happy to continue to work happily with you. "Chris. Columbus smiled with a long sigh of relief.

"I'm looking forward to that day coming sooner rather than later. Chris, are you interested in coming to Summit Entertainment as a producer? Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"I'm sorry Lin, I'm doing well in 1492 Pictures, and I have no plans to leave for the time being." Chris. Columbus said apologetically.

Lin Yuquan secretly said that it was a pity, but fortunately, he didn't have much hope for it, Chris. Columbus is not only one of Hollywood's top directors, not easy to impress, but also occupies a lot of shares in the production company 1492 Pictures.

"Oh, I knew it was going to happen, but if Chris wants to leave 1492 Pictures one day, I hope you must consider us at Summit Entertainment."

"Heh, I will." Chris. Columbus laughed.

"Damn, who's in trouble, who should I find to take over the filming of "Twilight: Lunar Eclipse"?" Lin Yuquan said with a headache.

Luckily, Wen Ziren and James were contacted. Gang's process went smoothly, and Lin Yuquan didn't take too much effort to convince the two, among them, Wen Ziren, he finally moved the other party with a few words, "James, do you remember what I said at the beginning?" I don't think you can only shoot horror films, you can try more genre films, after you join Summit Entertainment, I believe that there will be many opportunities waiting for you in the future, this is not a lie, I have confidence in you, you can see him as my commitment to you, and I don't think there is any other owner of a film company who will personally call you and give you such a promise. ”

James. The same is true of Gang's situation, Lin Yuquan just said to him: "You are very good, James, but you must also know that it is not enough to be excellent in Hollywood, which does not ensure that you will get good directing opportunities in big studios such as Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox. Cameron, Steven. Spielberg, Peter. A top commercial film director like Jackson.

And our Summit Entertainment is different, Summit Entertainment already has me, we especially need a director like James who has a good screenwriting level, Warner Bros. They have no shortage of scripts for shooting, but we are very short of Summit Entertainment, as long as your script meets the shooting conditions, we will start filming immediately, after the cooperation of "Fatal Bend 3", you must also know that we will definitely spare no effort in supporting film shooting.

James, I really hope you can join Summit Entertainment, otherwise I wouldn't have called you personally, I won't force you, and there is no way to force you, but no film company can give you better conditions, right? ”

After successfully persuading the two, Lin Yuquan was somewhat relieved, as for who would succeed Chris. Columbus, he didn't think of a suitable candidate for a while, thought about it, and was ready to wait for the release of "Twilight", according to the comments of movie fans. Anderson: They consider candidates.

Time flies, and there are endless updates on entertainment in all aspects every day, ""The New Three Kingdoms" selected a number of actors, Chen Jianbing played Cao Cao again", "Liao Zhaiqi Woman" won the ratings again, dominating the 8 o'clock file in the evening", "Zhu Yawen is rumored to play Zhou Yu, challenging Lin Yuquan to interpret the classic role", ""Wild Story: Hundred Clans" sold more than 6 million copies in the mainland and 30 million copies worldwide", "New stills, Lin Yuquan plays the disaster relief hero", "Heartbeat " released the latest poster, The freshness continues to fill the air."

However, the filming of "Immediate Rescue" was not affected at all, but after learning that Zhu Yawen would play Zhou Yu, Lin Yuquan and Yifei and others almost burst into laughter. Then he also called Zhu Yawen and beat him severely. And for this reason. Naturally, he is full of expectations about who will play Xiao Qiao.

At this time, the time has also come to September 30th, the last day of September, and it is also the Tuesday of the new week, and what is more eye-catching is that Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" will be released today, this movie does not need to be repeated too much, too many fans and audiences are looking forward to its release.

However, there is another important reason why "No Man's Land" has attracted the attention of filmmakers and media reporters, this is the first film released by Shuguang Films this year, and it is on the release list of Shuguang Films this year. There are only three movies in total, in addition to "No Man's Land", there are also "Old Boy" and "October Siege", which were released successively at the end of the year.

What kind of performance will Shuguang Films, which has won the annual mainland box office champion of domestic film companies for three consecutive years, perform this year, which everyone is concerned about.

"Yuquan, don't blame me if I mess up." Ning Hao's voice with a smile came from the phone.

"Mess up, how is this possible, "No Man's Land" is so wonderful, I believe it will get off to a good start." Lin Yuquan said with a smile that the production cost of "No Man's Land" is 38 million. The cost of the promotional copy is 25 million, if only the box office is calculated. This means that "No Man's Land" will have to reach a box office of 150 million to recover its cost, which is indeed an unattainable number for ordinary films, but in his opinion of those who have seen the finished film of "No Man's Land", it is completely possible to do this with the quality of "No Man's Land".

What's more, "No Man's Land" has other income, not to mention anything else, the product placement and the placement ads at the time of release alone brought 30 million revenue to Shuguang Film, which is still the result of taking into account the quality of the film and deliberately reducing product placement. On the premise that nearly half of the cost has been recovered before it is released, it is no exaggeration to say that "No Man's Land" does not have to worry about messing up at all.

Tuesday is a half-ticket day, and when the time comes to the afternoon, countless young movie fans, or audiences who feel that half-price tickets are cheap, walk into the screening hall of "No Man's Land" with eagerness.

Because he was filming a movie, Lin Yuquan did not go to the premiere of "No Man's Land", but his mind was closely watching the premiere of the film.

"Very successful! Funny and thought-provoking, the cast is unique and wonderful, and the ending is surprising and irresistible. "The Times" gave its own evaluation: "Maybe "No Man's Land" is not a classic, but it is definitely a veritable and rare domestic masterpiece. ”

"Ning Hao, who walked out of the multi-line narrative route, did not make the story bland, the rhythm is tight, the suspense is repeated, the characters are fully shaped, and the emotions are sublimated layer by layer, "No Man's Land" is incredible." "Nanfang Daily" commented: "There is no doubt that this is another masterpiece made by Ning Hao, the west, the desert, the highway, the comedy, human nature, all the factors are perfectly put together by him, which can only be admired and conquered." ”

"Every actor gave a wonderful performance, "No Man's Land" truly maximizes the charm of the Golden Iron Triangle, and as the most important female character in the film, Zhou Xun's interpretation is impeccable." Netease Entertainment commented: "The storyline is interlocking, there is no moment of boredom and distraction, we laugh, but if you think about it carefully, we are laughing at that kind of cruelty, this is a particularly good movie, there is no doubt about it." ”

Looking at the enthusiastic comments of major media critics and fans and audiences on the Internet, Lin Yuquan showed a satisfied smile on his face, and when he learned that "No Man's Land" won the first day box office of 9.85 million, he was completely relaxed, and it was absolutely amazing to be able to achieve such a high box office on a half-price day.

And such a result also attracted filmmakers and the media to exclaim again and again, and for a while, what kind of opening week box office "No Man's Land" can finally achieve has become the focus of countless people's attention.

"We don't predict how much "No Man's Land" will win at the opening week box office in the end, of course, we hope that the more the better." Xiao Ran, director of publicity and marketing of Shuguang Film, said with a smile: "The quality and reputation of the film have been widely recognized by the media and the audience, which is the biggest gain of "No Man's Land". ”

Sure enough, in the next few days, driven by many factors such as Ning Hao and the main creators' strong box office appeal, super word-of-mouth, almost monopoly film scheduling, and the film market that has continued to rise this year, "No Man's Land" has reaped gratifying box office results every day.

Soon, the box office data of the new week was freshly released in everyone's attention, and the results were not unexpected, in the mainland film box office list from September 29 to October 5, 2008, "No Man's Land" topped the championship without suspense, with a box office of 116 million in the first week, and the films released at the same time "Keep Talking", "Adventure in the Center of the Earth", "Dumb Elf", "Water Whistle and Fog", "Departure Today" and other films were trampled under their feet, and this achievement has also become the highest-grossing film ever released in the National Day file. At the same time, it is also the second film to break 100 million at the box office in its premiere week after "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", as Xiao Ran said, "No Man's Land" has created a miracle, but it is not small, but amazing.

Even after the box office was released on the first day, there were predictions, but in the face of such an explosive box office, the media and filmmakers were still shocked, and many people who were not optimistic about this year's Shuguang film being able to win the annual box office champion in the mainland for four consecutive years could not help but have a terrifying thought: Is Shuguang really going to win the championship for the fourth consecutive year? It's horrible. (To be continued......)
