Chapter 251: The Hobbit Premiere
After the movie was released, Xu Nan has been paying attention to the box office.
Lin Ziyi cares about the revenue of the film as much as he does, and her current situation is very delicate, and if she brings losses to the company because of a wrong decision, it is easy to affect her authority.
Fortunately, the feedback of the data is good, the attendance rate of the movie is not low, and it is not worse than other movies, and the single-day box office is about two or three million, and the theater does not suffer.
If you count the shares of Nanhai Film and Television held by it, this time Emperor Cinema actually made money.
There was no gossip from anyone in the company, and this decision was not a failure, and it was certainly not too successful.
"President, this is an invitation to the premiere of The Hobbit, who are you going to go?"
The secretary walked over and brought an invitation.
This kind of communication activity usually allows the company's executives to come forward, but after thinking about it, Lin Ziyi took the invitation card.
"I'll go in person this time."
"Okay."
The secretary handed the invitation to Lin Ziyi, and Lin Ziyi decisively called Xu Nan.
"The premiere of "The Hobbit", whether to go or not."
Movie premieres?
Xu Nan raised his eyebrows, he was familiar with the premiere of the movie, but the premiere of "The Hobbit" was different.
He's getting ready for "The Hobbit", and you're still asking me to go to the premiere?
This is tantamount to digging into the corners of other people's walls, and then showing off in front of others, pure yellow hair.
"It's not good." Xu Nan replied.
"Don't you want to give a good word, don't give your mother-in-law." Lin Ziyi said simply: "The copycat movies have been filmed, what are you afraid of." ”
"Then I'll go."
Xu Nan decisively agreed.
He is also a little curious about the movie premiere here in the United States, and he also wants to see how "The Hobbit" is filmed.
In his previous life, he had watched "The Hobbit", but the content had long been forgotten, and he remembered that there was a dragon in it called Smaug, and he was finally killed.
Now it's not bad to have an opportunity to watch movies for free, and by the way, you can also get in touch with your counterparts in the United States to see if there are any opportunities for cooperation.
The next day, Xu Nan got dressed and joined Lin Ziyi to attend the premiere of "The Hobbit" together.
The scene was very lively, there were many celebrities and industry insiders, and the embarrassing thing was that Xu Nan didn't know many people, at most he had a certain impression of a few of them.
He mainly focuses on the domestic entertainment industry, and although he has strengthened his understanding of the entertainment industry in the United States recently, it is still not deep enough.
"That's James, the director of 'The Hobbit.'"
Lin Ziyi said a word, but in fact, he didn't need to say that Xu Nan also recognized James, after all, he often watched the news about "The Hobbit" during this time, and James remembered his appearance very clearly.
With a high nose and blue eyes, a slightly serious face, and a natural conversation and smile with the guests.
At this moment, Xu Nan couldn't help but have a thought - I don't know what his expression will be after knowing what he has done.
Lin Ziyi took Xu Nan up to say hello, James was very polite to Lin Ziyi, and as for Xu Nan, he was ignored the whole time.
After a brief chat, the two of them took their seats, and soon, the theater went dark and the movie began to show.
At the beginning is the logo of Fox Film and Television, and then, it is the feature film of "The Hobbit".
Xu Nan cheered up and watched this movie seriously.
I have to say that this movie is really exciting, the exquisite costumes, the climactic plot, and the superb acting skills of the actors make up a wonderful movie.
Especially after the appearance of the giant dragon Smaug, Xu Nan even heard the frightened exclamations of someone in the theater.
This special effect is so realistic, the dragon on the screen is just like the real thing, giving people unparalleled oppressive power.
Naturally, after the protagonist completely shot the dragon Smaug with a black arrow, Xu Nan naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and his intense emotions were released.
In the end, the dwarves successfully returned to the country, and at the end, Bilbo also had a linkage with the Lord of the Rings.
"Bang la la lah."
At the end of the movie, the guests present applauded and were very enthusiastic.
Xu Nan also applauded, this movie is so exciting, unless it encounters force majeure, the box office will inevitably explode.
James proudly came to the stage and began to tell interesting stories about his filming, and the guests present were also very face-saving, holding him in the center like the stars holding the moon, and touting the movie from different angles.
The Lord of the Rings series is rebooted, "The Hobbit" is so wonderful, there is no doubt that this movie will definitely shoot a sequel, and many people present want a piece of the pie.
At this time, Xu Nan received a phone call, which was from film critic Martin.
"Boss, I've already written the movie review, let's see how the content is, if it's okay, I'll send it out now."
Xu Nan looked down at the phone screen, and the title of Martin's film review was very simple: "The garbage movie hobbit, a lump of defense without any bright spots." ”
The culture here in the United States is more direct, unlike the domestic culture that pays attention to subtlety, and the scolding here is direct scolding, the more direct the better.
Xu Nan finished reading this movie review as quickly as possible.
Well, it's very well written, it's very exciting, and that's what I want.
He quickly sent Martin a message back: "Very good, send it out immediately, don't forget what I told you." ”
"No problem, boss." Martin replied quickly.
He is a film critic with a very professional ethics, and he does whatever the boss says, as long as the money is enough.
After making sure that his film review would satisfy his boss, Martin immediately sent it out.
Xu Nan followed Martin's account, and after seeing the movie review issued, the corners of his mouth curled and smiled.
It just so happened that at this time, James passed by Xu Nan's side, and he immediately stood up, his tone exaggerated, like a fanatical fan.
"Director James, this movie 'The Hobbit' is so wonderful, it's the best movie I've ever seen, there's no one, you're just a genius."
Lin Ziyi glanced at Xu Nan a little strangely.
This guy's tone is a little strange, it feels like in that special little movie, Huang Mao shouted to the bitter master that your wife is very good.
She quickly shook her head, it must have been an illusion.
James was a little surprised to be touted like this, but after finding out that it was an inconspicuous yellow-skinned kid who was speaking, he didn't think much about it, thinking that he was an avid fan.
This is not the first time he has encountered this situation, nodded lightly, and replied: "Thank you." ”
With that, James walked straight away. It's just a fan, it's already good to be able to answer, the movie has been released, and he still has a lot of things to do.
Finally getting rid of the guests of Hexi, James returned to the backstage, and at this time, his assistant came over.
"Director James, something is wrong."
