"Yawen, you must know Director Lin Nan's itinerary, right? How long will he stay there"?

When Zhu Yawen heard this, he unconsciously wanted to press his temple, this was the thirteenth time to ask him a similar question today.

Early in the morning, Wang Jinghua called him to the company and asked him about Lin Nan, which was available on the Internet, and he said it, but then he couldn't clean it up, and he was also an artist under Sister Hua, and those people also asked one by one.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was three years older than herself, Zhu Yawen sighed, "Sister Bingbing, I know his itinerary, but I don't know when he will come back." ”

Maybe Liu Yifei knows a rough idea, Zhu Yawen thought. But certainly can't be said.

"It seems that he is going to stare at the box office over there for a while, and I think he has other plans......", Fan Bingbing tentatively.

"My sister, even if he really has other arrangements, he will definitely keep it secret, can he tell others about this kind of thing?"

Zhu Yawen remembered the other ice soldier in the morning, and she didn't have as many problems as the one in front of her.

"Okay, okay, sister, I won't bother you."

Fan Bingbing looked at Zhu Yawen, who had no love, and walked away with a smile.

Recently, the atmosphere of the company is weird, and many artists will come back frequently, and Zhu Yawen has a hunch that Wang Jinghua may have a showdown soon.

Fifteen hours earlier in the domestic time, "Hidden in the Dust" was the first to be released, China Film distribution, publicity, and everything that should be done has been done, Lin Nan's recent popularity will definitely have some bonuses, as for the box office, it depends on the audience, after all, the theme of the movie is limited, and the box office requirements cannot be strict.

Liu Yifei's daily routine is very regular, except for classes, she stays at home and pets cats.

Liu's mother asked Liu Yifei about Lin Nan, and many people in the circle are very concerned about it.

In the past, there were only two forms for the domestic film and television industry to go overseas, either your actors were picked and selected, or you took money to participate in some particularly bad films, and there was almost no profit, and there were still few opportunities for both.

Lin Nan is a very rare third way this time, participating in the product as a screenwriter and owning a 20% share, if this time is successful, it is not difficult to imagine that he will have a certain right to speak later.

"He may stay a little longer, wait for the results of "Dead Silence" to come out, and then decide on the next step of the work arrangement."

Liu Yifei nestled on the sofa, with a solid-colored cat lying in her arms, holding a foreign masterpiece in her hand, and talking casually.

Mother Liu could hear the meaning, that is, once the results of "Dead Silence" were good, Lin Nan would continue to have a movie arrangement, over there.

"Oh, that's right. Then you remember to give him a note for your birthday. ”

"Got it."

Liu Yifei looked up at her mother and found that something was wrong with her today, why did she suddenly care so much about Lin Nan.

……

The audience who entered the theater to support Lin Nan came out with red eyes, and they kept scolding.

"Peacock" and "Qinghong" are not so miserable, even if it is a realistic drama, there are always some warm scenes at the end.

"Hidden in the Dust" is good, the beginning is miserable, and I finally have a little hope in the middle, but it is still the only warm picture in the whole play, and the second half takes a sharp turn, returns to misery again, and finally ends in tragedy.

"It's unbearable for me to die, miserable, it's not human, woo woo......"

Ordinary viewers who are a little older will be very touched.

The word-of-mouth on the first day of "Hidden in the Dust" was neutralized by a cry and scolding.

At about eight o'clock in the morning Los Angeles time, Lin Nan saw an email from China Film.

Because of the time difference, it's still morning here, and the first day over there has passed, and the box office of "Hidden in the Dust" is 1.2 million on the first day.

The word-of-mouth response from ordinary audiences has been very good, but there have also been a lot of criticisms, which are roughly the same as the previous criticisms of directors such as Jia Zhangke.

After searching for domestic news, "Hidden in the Dust" is basically highly praised, and it can have 1.2 million on the first day, which is already an unexpected good result.

"Dead Silence" landed in various theaters in North America in the early morning, and the three-day opening box office of the first weekend is very important, not only Lionsgate and Lin Nan are staring at this data, but also some other Hollywood companies that take a fancy to Lin Nan's script, as long as they wait for another three days, they can decide the scale of negotiations with Lin Nan.

In the past three days, Lin Nan has been staying in the hotel in Santa Monica, paying attention to the domestic box office and the movie information here.

Although "Hidden in the Dust" has a good reputation, it still can't make a significant change at the box office, and it received more than 100,000 yuan on the second day.

At the same time, two weeks after the release of "Initial Text", the domestic box office exceeded 50 million, Hong Kong Island 30 million, and Asia combined exceeded 100 million.

After receiving the news from China Film, Lin Nan has already made a rough prediction of the box office of "Hidden in the Dust", and the total box office should exceed 10 million, as for how much more, it is hard to say, but it will not reach 15 million.

Lionsgate got some data from Dead Silence from theaters, and the attendance was high, with no significant regional differences, and the main group was young people and students.

"Lin, they look excited, is it a high box office?"

Tom asked Lin Nan curiously, but he didn't see the box office data, and the people at Lionsgate looked determined to win, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

"Sort of, from the existing data, it can be roughly inferred that the box office is good."

Horror films are also niche movies in the big market of North America, and the audience is very fixed, which can almost be described as stable.

On the fourth local time, Lin Nan rushed to Lionsgate early in the morning, don't worry about whether they go to work or not, there are definitely people who came earlier than Lin Nan.

"Oh, dear Lin, we succeeded, the film is destined for a good harvest."

A middle-aged foreigner from the business department shouted excitedly to Lin Nan.

"The data is out? How much? ”

Lin Nan was also eager to know.

"I just know it's very good, I have to wait for James and them to come over and reveal it together."

Lionsgate employees entered the building one by one, and Mr. Wen was accompanied by a senior vice president.

"Director Lin Nan, I didn't expect you to come so early, are you in a hurry to know the box office results?"

Wen Ziren made a rare joke, "Let my boss tell everyone." ”

The tall and thin foreigner walked up to everyone with a smile, "Dear friends, just a few hours ago, we got the box office data for the opening of "Dead Silence", and our results for two and a half months.

Our debut box office is second on the list, and our three-day opening box office is 15.4 million, cheering......"

Lin Nan was very unaccustomed to this way of celebrating, and a group of people were crying and shouting, but he could still feel the excitement of the gang of gringos in front of him.

He knew that "Chainsaw" and Wen Tsairen's reputation played at least half of the role, and the rest was the reputation of the movie.

Wen Ziren moved to Lin Nan's side, "At that time, the box office of "Chainsaw" was several million less than this, congratulations to us." ”

"Congratulations."

Lin Nan met Wen Ziren's eyes and said mechanically, his mind still buzzing with the string of numbers he had just heard.

At this moment, Lin Nan knew that he had stepped into the door of Hollywood with one foot, and as for how far he could go, it depended on how he went next.

One morning, the Lionsgate building was bustling.

"Lin, you're not just a genius director, you're also a genius screenwriter, we need you ......"

"Stay, you can get what you want."

……

All kinds of temptations are full of ears, worthy of the most prestigious Vanity Fair, Lin Nan rejected them one by one.

The box office for three days in the first weekend has come out, and Lin Nan and Tom have begun to wait, waiting for those film companies that are ready to move.

Lionsgate solicited Lin Nan's opinion, and they were ready to do "Chainsaw 2" after "Dead Silence", and then open "Latent 1", Lin Nan expressed his approval, and this can also whet the audience's appetite and fill expectations.

The news was transmitted back to China, and Sina put the news of "Dead Silence" at the top.

""Dead Silence" opened with 15 million, and the North American box office is expected to exceed 100 million."

"Silver Bear director Lin Nan, Hollywood debut, box office release on the first weekend."

"Shocked! "Dead Silence" cost less than $3 million to make! ”

…………

Lin Nan's news on the other side of the ocean appeared overwhelmingly on various news websites, but the official media did not report it due to the theme of "Dead Silence".

If you have Lin Nan's contact information, you have tried it a long time ago, but the phone can't get through.

It is much more convenient to have a mailbox and penguins, and send messages in one go, or congratulate, or pull relationships.

"Alas, those guys in the director department are smiling crookedly, and there is a Lin Nan, I think he can also transfer to our department."

A teacher in the literature department of the film school is in the office.

"You can be quiet, especially not in the acting department lately." Someone hurriedly spoke.

"What's wrong?"

"The people in the acting department have not been very good recently, who makes the directors smile every day, and they always mention Lin Nan."

"Oh, I see, I understand......"

The box office of "Hidden in the Dust" rose by 100,000 on the same day, to 790,000.

The release of "Dead Silence" continues, and Hollywood's reports about it have also come out, among which the introduction of director Wen Ziren and screenwriter Lin Nan is particularly detailed, especially Lin Nan.

Chinese, film academy students, film company owners, top directors, who have won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director at the 55th Berlin International Film Festival, excellent screenwriters, and more or less registered scripts, are favored by film companies in the industry......

Lin Nan's situation was reported exactly for the first time, or in a foreign country.

"Lin, someone asked me about your itinerary."

Tom smiled and looked slightly lewd.

"Are there a lot of people?"

"Not much."

"I don't need more, I just wait for one is enough, more is a burden, it will bring me trouble."

"Is that what you call a bird?" Tom asked.

Lin Nan didn't expect Tom to know this word, "I'm still too young, and my steps are too big, so it's not good." ”

Tom was so confused that he didn't say anything more.

Three days after the opening weekend, the word-of-mouth spread rapidly, and Lionsgate's executives immediately prepared to remove the heat and speed up the release in other overseas regions.

On this day, Lionsgate invited Lin Nan to a banquet, and Wen Ziren mentioned "The Conjuring".

"When you mentioned it, they and I were very curious about what you said, so I went to the guild to check it out, and sure enough, I saw this script. Lin Nan, I have to say, this is another series of scripts that I don't want to miss......"

In the end, Wen Ziren looked at Lin Nan, which meant that the latter understood, but he shook his head.

"Let's come one by one, and when the "Latent" series is finished, let's talk about "The Conjuring", at that time, it is definitely worth more than now.

The results of "Dead Silence" are so good, I regret that I signed the "Latent" series with you in one breath at that time, hahaha. ”

Lin Nan's last sentence was said in the form of a joke, and everyone present was amused.
