Chapter 368: Opposite, Don't Follow

Well, it seems that Treasure Hunt action movies have been popular lately!

Since Yang Mi was "left" from the crew of "Search" last time, she has concentrated on filming several other dramas.

It wasn't until today that he saw the start-up news of the movie that Lin Nan noticed this new film with Yang Mi as the heroine.

"Dawudang Heaven and Earth Code"!

To be honest, Lin Nan really didn't have any impression of this movie.

But the combination of Yuan Kui, Zhao Weizhuo, and Fan Shaohuang does give the audience a sense of expectation for an action movie.

Especially the first two, the last time they collaborated was "Fang Shiyu" twenty years ago, full of feelings.

On the other hand, although Lin Nan promoted "hello! Mr. Tree", but it still didn't help much.

The box office of one million on the first day did not make much waves in the film market at all, but the response and comments were really good.

Even the movie channel gave it a super high evaluation, saying that it was ingenious and a down-to-earth heavy-tasting literary film.

Lin Nan estimated that the total box office of this movie in the end is likely to reach 10 million, after all, the audience is still too small, which is a pity.

…………

Entering November, the atmosphere of the film market suddenly became a little more solemn, and the smoke of gunpowder began to fill.

A large number of small and medium-cost Hong Kong films chose to enter the market in advance, so as to avoid those domestic blockbusters as much as possible.

Movies such as "East Becomes West 2011" and "Happy Magic" have begun to be promoted.

It's all cold rice and old routines, and the audience's feedback is very average, and the interest is not high.

As the first big-budget film in the Chinese New Year file, "Hongmen Banquet" at the end of the month has received very high attention!

After all, Li Ming, Feng Shaofeng, Yang Mi and others are all popular. The publicity effect at this time is very good.

Fans are waiting for the release of this movie.

Because of the antagonistic relationship between "Palace" and "Step by Step", as well as the reason why the Tang people trampled on Yang Mi to hype Liu Shishi.

Many "bees" ran to Tang Ren, Cai Yinong and Liu Shishi's Weibo again, and began to sneer on a large scale: they can't get on the stage, their faces are paralyzed, and they are hot......

The key is that there is no way to refute it, after all, Tang really has no film resources for his own artists, so he can only post in the end:

"I hope someone manages their fans well, has some quality, and doesn't sting people everywhere......"

The effect of Tang Ren's Weibo is a bit counterproductive, and there are more "bees" and netizens who ridicule and ridicule.

"A rake?"

"Pretending to be innocent now?"

"You have all rubbed too many girl actors, and you still have the face to say that others ......"

"I can't talk about Liu Yifei, so I changed to Yang Mi, who is the next target?"

……

…………

Looking at the dozen or so invitations that the assistant brought in, Lin Nan smiled a little speechless.

Since a long time ago, whether the filmmakers in the circle are familiar or not, as long as there is an event such as a movie premiere, they will send an invitation letter over.

Especially for the Chinese New Year and Spring Festival stalls, at least thirty or forty letters start.

Most of the production companies know that Lin Nan will basically not go, but there will never be a shortage of invitations!

Of course, this also represents the status of Lin Nan Pictures in the circle!

Lin Nan looked at these invitations casually. He found that in these invitation letters, there were obviously more Hong Kong films.

"Interesting, let Director Yue deal with it."

"Well, okay, Director Lin."

Since "Ip Man 2" and Lin Nan decided to shelve this project, Yinghuang has come to the side from time to time to knock on the side.

Just now, Yang Shoucheng also made a phone call, talking about "Counter War" that they invested 200 million yuan to be released in the Chinese New Year.

However, inside and outside the words, the "Ip Man" series was mentioned, and the purpose was very clear, asking Lin Nan when he could restart this series.

"The reboot will definitely be restarted. But in terms of timing, I can't say for sure. ”

After attending the premiere of "Mr. Tree" that day, Lin Nan remembered something.

After coming back, he also spent a few days making an outline of the script, which is also an action movie and a crime theme.

…………

After waiting for so many days, Zhang Weiping finally acted.

Major news websites, film and television industry information, and industry focus are all news from the "Thirteen Hairpins" media and cinema viewing meetings.

Zhang Weiping strongly demanded that the national cinema chain increase the proportion of "Thirteen Hairpins" from 43% to 45%, and increase the minimum ticket price by 5 yuan.

"The producer is always a disadvantaged group, why should we take the money to invest in the film, we bear the risk, but let the theater take the big profit?

In Europe and the United States, the bigger the blockbuster, the more the producer gets, why do we deserve to suffer in China......"

In front of a cadre of media, Zhang Weiping impassionedly denounced the theater line and put pressure on him.

Most of the representatives of the theater chains, led by the eight major cinema chains, opposed on the spot and left the scene directly to protest.

In just a few hours, the entire film industry exploded.

This matter is not a matter of the new picture family, it is related to the interests of all filmmakers.

"Director Lin, do we want to make a statement now?"

"Well, go ahead, we're the producers. People, the most taboo have no position. ”

Soon, Lin Nan Pictures' Weibo was new:

"Lin Nan Pictures supports Producer Zhang, the producer's box office distribution ratio is indeed too low, and the investment risk of big-budget films is almost all on the producer......"

Immediately afterwards, major production companies expressed their positions.

Huayi, Guangguang, Orange Sky, Pony, Bona, Yinghuang...... and various small and medium-sized production companies.

Maybe a few companies have more or less theaters in their hands, but they are far from being able to reach the theater chain, and production is the main business.

After a large number of production companies speak out, they are directors and filmmakers in the circle.

Feng Xiaogang was the first to shout on his personal Weibo:

"Support for new pictures and productions, the existing distribution ratio is too unfriendly to our producers, and we must change ......"

Whether they are reluctant or not, this time the big directors are "forced" to stand on the united front.

Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Gu Changwei...... Wu Yusen, Chen Kexin, Ning Hao, Ye Weixin......

It is the first time that filmmakers on Hong Kong Island and the mainland have supported one person and one thing so neatly.

……

For the industry, this is an earthquake.

Actors and artists can only watch from the sidelines, without the slightest qualification to speak.

……

In the past, the theater chain was fighting on its own, but this time it has also united.

The eight major cinema chains called on representatives of cinemas across the country to come to the capital for a meeting and sign a joint statement to jointly boycott Zhang Weiping and New Pictures.

even threatened that if Zhang Weiping must increase the account share and ticket price, then they will refuse to screen "Thirteen Hairpins".

Zhang Weiping's side is not false, because he knows that the theater chain wants to make money lying down more, and needs "Thirteen Hairpins" more.

"If any theater doesn't agree to my request, then "Thirteen Hairpins" won't be shown to him!"

The two sides are completely hard-hitting, and they don't back down.

……

"Buzz ......"

"The phone vibrates all the time."

Liu Yifei picked up her mobile phone, looked at the caller ID, and shouted at Lin Nan on the side.

"Don't worry about it, it's estimated that it will last for half a month."

"It's Ye Ning."

Liu Yifei walked up to Lin Nan, who was sleeping on the recliner.

"These people, really."

After picking up the phone, Lin Nan pressed on.

"Director Lin, we are partners, and your side is also sudden, at least breathe."

"Cooperation is cooperation, but it doesn't affect my support for Zhang Weiping. The one who should support him the most is my side, do you think about it? ”

Lin Nan's words directly choked Ye Ning on the other end of the phone.

Indeed, Lin Nan Films' films have always been a rare winning general in the industry, and they are the ones who benefit the most from increasing the distribution ratio.

"Well, okay. I'll give you a breath, we won't get used to Zhang Weiping this time, just this is ......"

Lin Nan could hear the subtext, that is, the theater side would not bow to the producer.

"It seems that the two sides can really be united, and there are thousands of years of examples, how can people's hearts be so united?"

Lin Nan smiled and complained.

"So, I'm not optimistic about the theater line."

Liu Yifei couldn't help but ask, she is also a producer and producer, and she definitely hopes that Zhang Weiping can win.

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, who was looking forward to it, and shook his head.

"Huh?"

"I can't say, but it's going to be exciting and lively anyway."

"Hmph, it's the same as not saying it."

…………

The dispute between Zhang Weiping and the theater chain has become a matter for the production industry and the theater chain.

Not long after arriving at the company, Yue Jun came to Lin Nan in a hurry.

"The eight major cinemas took the lead, and some of the cinemas signed, and the statement of boycotting Zhang Weiping and "Thirteen Hairpins" has been issued."

"Well, and then what?"

"The new picture also issued an invitation, inviting major production companies to come over, and also sign a joint agreement to advance and retreat together to put pressure on the theater chain."

Hearing this, Lin Nan put down the pen in his hand.

What kind of joke is it that he really wrapped up the whole industry?

"Director Lin, shall we follow this time?" Yue Jun asked.

"With? Don't follow. I only agreed to support and support him, but I didn't think about going to the front!

In addition, if you think about it, this is a domestic event, when has this kind of industry event been successful at one time? Where did you put the official? ”

Yue Jun smiled, it was this reason, "Okay, then I'll push it away." ”

"Also, let's not take the initiative to express our stance on this matter, it's enough to do this."

…………

Yue Jun didn't go to the new picture.

Lin Nan heard that Zhang Weiping was very powerful, and really advocated that many production companies sign his joint agreement to put pressure on the theater chain together.

However, there must be smart people, not only Lin Nan Pictures was absent, but Huayi and Guangguang also did not go......

……

The media has been painful and happy these days, there is a lot of news every day, too many headlines, so that they are a little busy.

On one side is Zhang Weiping and a large number of film companies, and on the other hand, there are dozens of theaters, just pulling every day.

The films of many production companies have been involved and used as bargaining chips for both sides.

The impact is getting bigger and bigger, and it's a bit out of control......

Lin Nan even received a call from Tom, the news has spread overseas, and Hollywood is reporting it, which shows how big the matter is.

"It's really come to this point!"

"The official should be over soon, right?"
