Day 5, Sunday.

The single-day box office record of domestic films was born: 78.05 million.

At this point, the first weekend ended, and "Genius Gunman" was released for five days, reporting 367 million.

The film industry is lively, it's really been a long time since I've seen such a fierce domestic film.

When was the last time?

It seems to be still Lin Nan's movie, "League of Thieves"!

If "The Four Famous Catches" just warmed up the domestic film market, then now, the domestic film market has been completely driven.

Many filmmakers joked: "The box office with few domestic films in the first half of the year, I'm afraid they were all taken by Lin Nan, right?" ”

The media and netizens joined in the fun, and they were even more unscrupulous:

"Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's movie is a bit too unreasonable.

killed one "Four Famous Catches" in three days, and the box office in five days was 50 million more than the two "Searching...... Let these directors think so? ”

Many crews, taking advantage of the hot market at this time, started to run publicity in advance.

Fan Bingbing even bluntly said that the promotion of "Tai Chi 1" was not very good, and she had never heard of this movie.

And definitely said that Feng Shaofeng's acting skills in "Second Exposure" are definitely better than in "Tai Chi 1"!

This has already begun to secretly poke and poke at the movie released on the same day, and give eye medicine.

In August, almost all mainland film companies avoided it.

Because everyone knows that this time period is too difficult.

There were Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's "Genius Gunman" in the past, and "Batman" and "Spider-Man" at the end of the month. Entering the market rashly, nine out of nine will become cannon fodder.

But even so, there will never be a shortage of heads.

The two Hong Kong Island team movies were confidently set for August.

"Listener to the Wind" chose to meet "Genius Gunman" at the beginning of the month;

"Hedong Lion's Roar 2" is back in the middle of the middle, trying to survive in the cracks and pick up the leaks!

At this time, seeing "Genius Gunman" suddenly collapsed, the producers of the two movies wanted to regret it, but it was too late.

Many film companies in the mainland are gloating and waiting to see the jokes.

…………

"I'm fighting myself, right?"

At the celebration banquet of light, Zhou Xun held a wine glass and laughed at himself in front of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

"To be precise, it should be the movie you starred in that was pressed and beaten by cameos."

Liu Yifei was merciless and joked about Zhou Xun.

"Yo, the producer's tone of voice is different, tsk tsk......"

……

The two women were arguing, but Lin Nan didn't mix, and walked aside with a smile.

Today, the crew of "The Four Famous Catches" came back from Hengdian to participate in the celebration banquet.

But this position is quite interesting.

Between Deng Chao and Jiang Yiyan, whether it was taking a group photo or socializing with the guests, from beginning to end, the two maintained a distance of at least three meters away.

Lin Nan glanced at a corner in the distance, and then suddenly realized. It's amazing, it turns out that the family members are coming!

It has to be the entertainment industry, everyone is not surprised, as if everyone doesn't know the gossip that happened a few days ago.

Just look at the crowd around Sun Li who are constantly greeting and laughing, and then look at the few insiders next to Jiang Yiyan on the other side.

As long as you are not a fool, you can see it: everyone knows about Deng Chao and Jiang Yiyan a few days ago.

"Director Lin, respectfully, you are free."

"Hmm."

"Lin Dao ......"

……

Lin Nan raised his glass frequently. He and Liu Yifei are also the focus of today's scene, not losing to Wang Changtian.

After all, at this moment, "Genius Gunman" swept the film market, and basically there was no one enemy.

That "Ice Age 4" is also very good, but the two are not on the same track, and there is no competition.

"Today is obviously the celebration banquet of "The Four Famous Catches", but the two of you have become the focus of attention of the audience. But I have to say that I am greedy for your box office. ”

Wang Changtian walked over slowly and laughed at himself.

"I'm just a few steps ahead, and there will be more and more high-grossing movies in the future."

"It's true, the market is getting better and better, and you can cheat the box office. Hehe......"

It's really hard to accept this, this kind of behavior is very degrading.

Once a filmmaker is labeled, it is too difficult to whitewash.

…………

End of July.

The film bureau's postponement notice was also announced.

The media reacted quickly.

"The box office of "Genius Gunman" in the first week, totaling 521 million, set a new single-week box office record for domestic films."

"The movie "Genius Gunman" has been approved by the Film Bureau, and the key to the postponement has been obtained, and the release time has been postponed to August 31."

……

The news spread, and it immediately caused a lot of discussion among production companies in the industry.

"Another postponement? Is this thing so easy to apply for now? ”

The key to postponement used to be mostly gift films, and movies with tasks can be easily obtained. Like "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" and "The Great Earthquake".

"That's it now, as long as the box office response is strong, it's that simple.

But fortunately, it wasn't a one-month postponement, otherwise he would have really picked up "Space Traveler"! ”

Wang Zhonglei said with some fear.

There are many people in the circle who have this mentality, after all, since September, the number of domestic films has been increasing.

If it is really postponed for a month, then the momentum of "Genius Gunman" will be enveloped, and "Space Traveler" will definitely be able to exert 120% of its box office potential!

Then the other movies will not survive, and it is estimated that the above also considered this reason, and only gave it a week.

…………

Entering August, the daily box office of "Genius Gunman" does not seem to have decreased much.

No. 1, reported 74.34 million; No. 2, another 70.1 million ......

At this time, the theater side no longer thinks about the rules and regulations in the gambling agreement, they only want "Genius Gunman" to get 46%.

This means that the theater chain earns more. And now it seems that "Genius Gunman" has a good chance of getting a 46% share ratio!

The film bureau is from the perspective of the industry, thinking that the production companies will be evenly wet, but the theater chain will not think so.

The icing on the cake and the charcoal in the snow, they will only choose the former, and it is clear that the movie that makes money, why not be partial?

"The scheduling rate has increased again?"

"Yes, to 34.4 percent, an increase of three points. The producers of several films are complaining to the bureau......"

Hearing this news, Lin Nan really didn't know what to say, and continued to improve the film schedule in the second week, which almost never happened.

"The spontaneous behavior of the theater line has nothing to do with us, we don't know anything."

Lin Nan thought for a while, and then instructed Yue Jun, just muffle.

"Understood."

Yue Jun smiled and nodded, turned around and left, ready to deal with the reporter.

…………

In some media, news from the Golden Horse Awards came out.

"The chairman of the jury, Liu Dehao, and director Li An, intend to invite "Genius Gunman" to participate in this year's Golden Horse Awards......"

"It is reported that as early as during this year's Cannes Film Festival, director Li An and Liu Dehao sent an invitation to director Lin Nan."

……

The news came from the Taiwan media, then the Hong Kong media, and finally the mainland.

Whether it is the mainland media or the mainland film and television industry, there is some inexplicable excitement at this time.

After 03 years, Lin Nan has not been to the Golden Horse Awards again.

05 years later, Lin Nan no longer participated in the selection of awards such as Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers.

During the Chinese Film Festival, the awards were either the screenwriting award of "Stone" at the college student film festival, or the contribution award of Huabiao, which were all passively received.

Many acquaintances in the industry called Lin Nan.

"Did you really get an invitation?" Ning Hao asked excitedly.

"yes, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong, you ask? The circle is very lively, and they are betting on whether you will go or not! ”

"What's there to bet on?"

Lin Nan could roughly guess something, but he still asked casually.

He has not participated in the selection of Chinese film festivals for 7 years, and some people should be anxious to know his decision.

"Anyway, whether you go or don't go now, the golden rooster and the flowers are not good-looking, especially the golden rooster. Haha......"

Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, Lin Nan has only won the Outstanding Feature Film Award of Hundred Flowers once, after all, this is the Audience Award.

As for the golden rooster? That's not easy to take!

Relationships are more important than qualifications, and movies are again. This unspoken rule has stumped how many big directors!

……

hung up Ning Hao's phone, and Lin Nan successively received calls from Jiang Wen, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Han Sanping and others, all of whom were very gossipy.

"If Director Lin wants to go to the Hundred Flowers Award, Wanda Cinemas can choose to send "Genius Gunman", and I believe other cinemas will be happy to serve."

"I see, I still have to think about it, thank you."

Ye Ning's kindness, Lin Nan understood it.

"You're welcome, Director Lin."

……

After a busy day in the company, Lin Nan returned to the villa.

Liu Yifei seems to have been waiting for him for a long time.

Watery eyes, just staring at him like this, wanting to say something and enduring the tangled look, Lin Nan wanted to laugh very much.

"Sissi, do you want to go to the film festival?"

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then showed a sweet smile and nodded heavily:

"Well, I have some ideas, but I'll listen to you."

Lin Nan sat down and hugged Liu Yifei. The latter leaned on his shoulder and said:

"But Brother Hao invites you, you have to give a clear answer as soon as possible, and the deadline over there is in the middle of the month......"

Lin Nan didn't answer this conversation, but talked about something else.

"Hundred Flowers is an audience award, and the gold content in the industry is not high, so with the popularity of "Genius Gunman", there is a high probability."

"At present, the Golden Horse is the most valuable film festival in the Chinese film festival, but it will also take care of their films, and some important awards must be reserved for their own people......"

Liu Yifei nodded, she knew this, raised her head and rubbed Lin Nan's cheek, "And then?" ”

"Sissi, where do you want to go?"

Lin Nan snuggled up to Liu Yifei and asked softly. The smell on her body is very soothing.

Lin Nan knew how strong Liu Yifei's desire for the award was.

"Ask me?"

"Yes, you decide."

"I, can I think about it?"

Lin Nan smiled, "Just now you urged me to give Brother Hao an answer, you have to think about it now?" ”

Liu Yifei smiled and didn't speak, and glanced at Lin Nan, "I'm going back to the room to think about it!" ”

As she spoke, she got up and went out to go back to the villa next door.

"Don't think about it, go to sleep, haha."

"Nonsense, I won't!"

…………

Guo Wan's efficiency is quite high, and after only a few days of hard work, the script has been set.

"Director Lin, I've already chosen the script."

"Well, then we'll meet at the company tomorrow, and then you can tell me in detail about the shooting plan this time."

The scripts Lin Nan gave this time were all first drafts, which he wrote a long time ago.

Later, Guo Wan still needs to improve the script again before he can use it.

"Okay Director Lin, then we'll see you tomorrow."
