Chapter 289: Let's Play Together
Entering September.
Although "Thieves" was not deliberately promoted, the media and online news were endless.
In particular, China Film reported the export of the film as a political achievement.
"'Thieves' has been confirmed to be exported and landed in the South Korean market."
"A small number of Southeast Asian countries have reached an introduction intention ......"
"Director Lin's "Thief", so far there is still only one poster, and there are no stills and tidbits!"
…………
"Thieves" has been slow to move.
Many people are asking about this, and even some media and netizens ran to Liu Yifei's Weibo to inquire about the news.
"The propaganda started on the 15th, and everyone's appetite should have been almost hung up at that time."
Lin Nan asked people to inform China Film, who was responsible for the publicity and distribution of "Thieves".
He noticed that the "White Deer Plain", which had been in preparation for many years, was about to start.
This movie, directed by Golden Bear director Wang Quanan, is the female number one who has attracted the attention of actresses in the industry, and Zhang Yuqi is the flower.
But the gossip also came out.
Another popular actress of Zhou Xingchi went to court with him and asked to terminate the contract.
This reminds everyone of Huang Shengyi a few years ago.
No matter what, one after another left through lawsuits, and Zhou Xingchi's reputation is indescribable.
"Huayi's film is back in disgrace, and the crew members just left the capital airport this morning."
Yue Jun's words reminded Lin Nan that "The Empire of Babel" is the only Chinese film shortlisted for the Golden Lion Award.
"It's not time for the closing ceremony yet, is it?"
After Lin Nan asked this, he reacted.
The release time of Xu Ke's film coincides with the Golden Lion Award award.
At this time, I will return to China ahead of schedule, that is, there is no them in the "unspoken rules", and the focus will definitely be put back on the release of the movie.
I swore to the Golden Lion Award in front of me, but I was out of the game ahead of schedule, which is a bit of a joke.
Sure enough, the media soon reported on this matter, bluntly saying that "Tongtian Empire" should not have received a special invitation.
Huayi, Xu Ke and others did not respond to this.
…………
Nortel's freshmen seem to be in military training recently.
Lu Yang was invited back by the school to give a speech, and then he was dragged to chat for several hours.
There is no need to guess, Lin Nan knows what to say.
That day, even Zhang Yimou was understood and moved by the school leaders for a long time.
In the end, Lao Mouzi nodded and agreed, and future movies would use more students and actors from his alma mater.
Including Zhou Dongyu's application for Nortel, this is also the reason.
"Director Lin, it is estimated that it will not be long before I invite you back."
After Lu Yang returned to the company, he said to Lin Nan with a smile.
"It didn't take long for me to get a call just now."
Lin Nan was a little speechless.
This year's school leaders were a little anxious for quick success, and even shouted the slogan that half of Nortel should be in the film and television industry.
Listening to this, it gives people a feeling of floating, and there is no longer a bit of the atmosphere that an art school should have.
The quality of students in the future, as you can imagine, will definitely be worse.
"And what do you say?"
"I don't have time, but they also told me the specific meaning on the phone.
To be honest, I listened to those words in a few years at school, and my ears were calloused. ”
Lin Nan complained speechlessly.
Lu Yang gave a thumbs up.
"Amazing, just you big directors, you can refuse like this."
Lin Nan shook his head and ignored Lu Yang's quip.
In the new generation in the future, there will be fewer and fewer actors, all of whom are stars.
…………
The movies in the first half of the month are grabbing the box office every day.
Because everyone knows that from the middle of the month, it is the position of the major directors.
Lin Nan was immersed in the script, and Liu Yifei came over from time to time to accompany him, or called him to eat together......
The major theaters are in full swing and start scheduling films.
"The Hawthorn Tree" and "Babel Empire" were released on the same day.
In terms of momentum, a literary film is actually comparable to a costume commercial blockbuster, so you can imagine how influential Zhang Yimou is.
Stills and tidbits from "Thieves" appeared on the Internet.
A large number of netizens and viewers turned their eyes over.
"Fan Bingbing's figure is awesome......"
"Liu Tianwang is actually a villain?"
"Zhang Hanyu is the villain!"
"Looking at the name of the movie, there won't be a good person, right?"
……
The news of "Thieves" stole most of the media's focus from "Hawthorn Tree" and "Babel Empire".
Two movies were released at the same time on the 15th.
"I need to tweet."
Liu Yifei liked "Hawthorn Tree" very much, and helped make an advertisement for free.
This move has attracted the attention of many fans, and the effect is good.
The next day, Lin Nan put down what he was doing and paid attention to the data of the next two movies.
Lao Mouzi's literary film got a box office of 10.46 million on the first day, setting a new box office record for domestic literary films on the first day.
Looking at this look, it should also be able to win the total box office record of domestic literary films from Chen Kai singers.
Huayi's "Tongtian Empire" received 18.3 million on the first day, which is the best result of Xuke movies so far.
"Lin Nan, is "Thief" going to premiere?"
Liu Yifei handed a cup of freshly ground coffee to Lin Nan and asked by the way.
"Even if I say not to do it, Han Dong and they won't agree."
Lin Nan took a sip and replied.
……
Zhang Weiping shouted the slogan of the 200 million goal, and Huayi shouted that the minimum guarantee was 300 million and the sprint was 400 million, which was very lively for a while.
Liu Dehao and Leung Jiahui in "The Empire of Babel" are also the starring roles of "Thieves".
Invisibly, it will also bring blessings to "Thieves".
Two films, almost becoming the top two in the third week of September.
"Jingwu Fengyun" is gearing up, and the drafts are one after another, just waiting to enter the scene to "eat it all".
"It took more than half a month, and I finally got it done......"
Lin Nan stretched his waist, only feeling relaxed.
Because he had set a publicity plan with China Film before, Lin Nan stayed at home and wrote the script so reassuringly.
……
"Those two movies, how did the box office go?"
Back at the company, Lin Nan called Yue Jun over.
"Director Zhang's movie has a good reputation, almost one-sided, with a box office of 45 million in 5 days;
The box office of "The Empire of Babel" has also reached 75 million ......"
Lin Nan nodded, looking at this for the time being.
"That "Jingwu Fengyun" is released today, right?"
"Yes."
When Lin Nan heard the affirmative answer, he was instantly interested.
At that time, the cowhide was blowing very loudly, and he wanted to see how much box office this movie could have.
Lin Nan began to contact China Film, and at this point, "Thieves" was only 9 days away from its release.
The next day.
When the media announced the box office of "Jingwu Fengyun" on the first day, mainland filmmakers almost laughed.
The movie that vowed to get a box office of 500 million only reported 10.32 million on the first day.
It's not as good as the literary film that is not "put in the eyes" of the creators - "Hawthorn Tree"!
This face is going to be smashed!
The industry unanimously agreed that the total box office of this movie is definitely lower than the investment cost, and it is much lower.
After all, there is Lin Nan's "League of Thieves" behind!
There was a lot of ridicule on the Internet.
"Donnie Yen's Chen Zhen has too low IQ and EQ. The literary drama was crushed by Huang Bo, and the martial arts only knew how to blindly play cool ......"
"The script is too rubbish, the plot is stiff, repetitive, procrastinating, and uninteresting......"
"I seriously doubt that "Ip Man" can become a hit, all thanks to Director Lin's script, and it can be done by Zhao Weizhuo as "Ip Man"!"
""Ip Man 3" let Zhao Weizhuo come."
…………
Lin Nan has read a lot of posts, and the gang on Hong Kong Island are really filming "Jingwu Fengyun" with the template of "superheroes".
On the battlefield of World War I, there was a rain of bullets, and the protagonist shuttled through it, stunned that nothing happened...... Isn't that a superhero?
After "Ip Man 2", the ambitious Donnie Yen's first movie suffered a heavy blow to word-of-mouth.
There is no need to think about the box office, blood loss is certain.
The premiere of "Thieves" was in charge of China Film, and Lin Nan would just be present at that time.
……
"The results of this period of time are all here, pick one."
Liu Yifei smiled like a flower, looking at the 3 scripts in front of her.
"Then I'll take it back and look at it again."
As she spoke, Miss Liu grabbed the three scripts and hugged them in her arms, turned her head and walked out of Lin Nan's villa.
"There's really only the script in your eyes, don't you care about me?"
Looking at the back of the distance, Lin Nan had a sense of seeing the negative person.
Three books,All have different emphases.。
Lin Nan estimated that Miss Liu would most likely choose the script on the topics of illness, love, cancer and death.
……
"Jingwu Fengyun" was completely cold, and the box office fell to 8 million the next day, and the local box office on Hong Kong Island was even lower, more than 1 million.
A movie with an investment of 120 million, how can this be played?
Wu Yusen's "Sword Rain" has learned from experience, and there is no bragging problem of the crew of "Jingwu Fengyun".
"Our film is released worldwide.
The domestic martial arts film market is weakening, and the box office does not expect too much, so I just hope to catch up with Lin Nan Pictures' "Embroidered Spring Knife". ”
This argument is indeed a lot more sophisticated.
China Film has set the time for the premiere of "Thieves".
"It will be released on the 30th, and we will premiere on the 29th, and you don't have to worry about the rest, I'll do it."
Han Sanping looked like a big bag.
"Okay, listen to you."
Lin Nan must have no opinion, Han Sanping made a move, the scale can be imagined, only big and bigger.
The leading actors of "Thieves" sent messages one by one, promising that they would be able to attend the premiere on time.
In their opinion, this movie is very likely to be Lin Nan's work to regain box office records.
Moreover, as the main creative actor of the Golden Lion director's film, how could he be absent from the premiere?
……
Film and television news, very lively.
You will soon see several big directors competing on the same field.
Zhang Yimou, Xu Ke, Wu Yusen, and ...... Lin Nan!
"I'll pick this one!"
Miss Liu is really amazing, it took two days to read through the three scripts.
"Are you sure you want to choose it, don't change it?"
Lin Nan asked jokingly.
He saw at a glance that it was the one he had guessed.
Stories of love, illness, life, and death......
I saw Miss Liu's face serious and shaking her head.
"I'll just pick it, and I won't change it."
"You have to play with me, you have to be together!"
Liu Yifei gritted her silver teeth, looked directly at Lin Nan, and said undoubtedly.
"Okay, together."
