Chapter 540: Box Office

It is said that every time Chen Kaige makes a blockbuster, he will build a large number of buildings.

In the end, whether the movie is successful or not, and whether it is a blockbuster or not, will not affect the fact that it makes money.

The key to profitability lies in the newly built film and television base or film and television city under the dove workers' materials.

Because there are always local governments that rush to provide land and funds and pay for it.

And what is left after the filming of the film is indeed a film and television base that can drive the tourism and cultural industries for a long time.

And on this basis, the local government will continue to expand the scale of the film and television city, making it a more eye-catching business card!

As early as when the casting of "Zhao's Orphan" was established, there were rumors in the industry that Chen Kaige's team would adapt "Shamen Konghai: Tang Ghost Banquet".

And after the release of "Zhao's Orphan", Chen Hong did publicly say to the outside world that Chen Kaige had invested in the adaptation of the script of "Shamen Konghai".

Originally, the industry thought that Chen Kaige, who had directed a "Search" after nearly 3 years and had directed a "Search" halfway, would start filming this "Shamen Konghai: Tang Ghost Banquet".

As a result, Chen Hong's announcement again today was beyond everyone's expectations:

"Due to the Tangcheng Film and Television Base, it cannot be built according to the scheduled time, and the film project adapted from "Shamen Konghai: Tang Ghost Banquet" will be temporarily shelved for filming.

After careful consideration, Director Chen decided to officially set up the project and prepare for the Republic of China fantasy martial arts movie "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain", and the casting will start from now on......"

The movements of the director of the Palme d'Or always attract the attention of the entire film and television industry.

Whether it is filmmakers, actors and stars in the industry, or a large number of netizens on the Internet, they are all hotly discussed.

"3 years ago, the Tangcheng Film and Television Base officially started construction because of Director Chen, for the sake of the "Shamen Konghai: Tang Ghost Banquet".

"It depends on the situation, "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain" was temporarily replaced, and this movie doesn't seem to have a supporting film and television base, haha......"

"This is director Kaige's first attempt at martial arts movies!"

"I don't know when the casting will start, will there be an open audition?"

……

Looking at the news at the top of the Internet and a large number of discussions on Weibo, Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Director Chen is really a legend among directors in the industry.

The model of a blockbuster and a city can be regarded as being understood by him, and he is also the only representative of the film industry.

For two consecutive days, Lin Nan went to the premieres of "A Stormy Affair" and "One Night Surprise".

Although they didn't stay long, the favor arrived, and as for the other movies, they were handed over to the rest of the company.

""Shendu Dragon King"? It's the National Day file again! ”

Lin Nan saw the news that Huayi held a media conference, and the second part of the "Di Renjie" series was finalized, on September 28.

recalls "Tongtian Empire" three years ago, it seems that it was originally a National Day file.

It's just that in the end, in order to avoid "Thieves", it was specially raised for half a month and changed to September 16.

"Produced by Huayi, the low-cost romantic comedy "Former Raiders" was officially launched."

"Zhang Guoli joins the host team of the Spring Festival Gala ......"

After Lin Nan flipped through the news casually for a while, he closed the page, it was really boring, it was all Huayi's information.

got up and left the office, Lin Nan went to Tiangong, and there was only a little bit left in the post-editing of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain".

"The editing team is working overtime, and it's no problem to completely complete "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" today, right?"

"No problem, Director Lin. No need to work overtime! ”

"Before you get off work in the afternoon, it's definitely done."

…………

The premiere of domestic films is still going on.

The August schedule, which is destined to be full of gunsmoke, has officially kicked off.

On the morning of the 1st, "Time and Space Traveler" has officially opened in all theaters in China.

As a domestic film that took the lead in August, and it was produced by Lin Nan Pictures, this movie undoubtedly has a very big advantage in terms of attention and scheduling rate.

"The main creators of the crew are still posting on Weibo to promote it at this time."

Liu Yifei reminded Lin Nan while editing her content.

"Got it, help me."

Lin Nan was surrounded by a group of cats and dogs, all waiting for him to feed them, and Miss Liu was lazy and threw the job to him.

"Well, leave it to me."

At noon, Lin Nan got part of the attendance data from Ye Ning.

In the face of imported films led by "Fast and Furious 6", the attendance rate of "Time and Space Traveler", at least on Wanda's side, is 86% on average.

This data is already very high, and Lin Nan estimates that it will not be less than 35 million on the first day.

In the afternoon, the online film review came out.

"This is a film that walks between science fiction, love and life, and it is completely different from previous science fiction films."

"There is no imaginary ambition and rampant, and there is no trace of middle and second breath, but a very textured story of ordinary people, love and family affection, good-looking!"

"I actually added chicken soup to a science fiction movie, but I don't feel tired at all, it's delicious......"

"Director Guo Wan is right, you can fully believe in the script of director Lin Nan, a very warm science fiction film!"

……

Seeing the praise of many filmmakers and netizens on the Internet, Lin Nan knew that this movie was stable.

Although there are still some people who complain that the movie is not "tense" and "exciting" enough, it is difficult to reconcile after all.

This kind of audience may be more suitable for the plot of "Fast and Furious 6".

At this point, the domestic films in the same schedule will be under pressure.

Because "Time and Space Traveler" seems to have made a good start, and this also means that this movie may really have a preconceived idea and start to lead the August schedule?!

"Don't worry, you'll be able to see the first-day box office tomorrow morning."

Guo Wan made a rare call to Lin Nan and talked about the box office.

"Director Lin, I also want to be calm, but I can't calm down. From tomorrow onwards, there will be one or two movies released almost every day! ”

Guo Wan said self-deprecatingly, this is also a fact, there are too many competitors.

"That's it, I'll sleep late today, and I'll forward it to you after the China Film Distribution Company gives me the data as soon as possible?"

"Then it's troublesome to Director Lin, haha......"

"You're welcome."

Lin Nan said with a smile, he didn't plan to go to bed early tonight, and he has recovered well in the past few days.

…………

Ning Hao, this guy, is really going to do what he says.

said before that he would put "No Man's Land" into the New Year's file, and finally set it on December 3rd.

Now I'm really starting to think about going to the film festival.

For this reason, he specially called Lin Nan to come out for dinner and consult experience!

"I thought you were joking, really?"

"I've been making movies for so many years, and the highest honor is the best director at the College Student Film Festival, so I have to improve!"

Ning Hao raised his glass and drank half a beer, Xing Aina was eating food on the side, and teased:

"It's time to make progress, one by one else has written it, and they all won the best new director at the A-class film festival."

"Can that be the same? He's too wet. ”

Ning Hao retorted, and then looked at Lin Nan: "Tell me, what do you think of me going to Berlin?" ”

"So you didn't sign up for Venice some time ago, just waiting for Berlin?"

"yes, didn't I think this subject matter would be appropriate over there? You say, how nice it would be if you were a member of the jury in Berlin! ”

"That's unfortunate, or if the film is pressed for another two years, I will strive to be the president of the jury in the past?"

Lin Nan was happy, and Ning Hao was too daring to think about it.

But one thing he said is right, Lin Nan may indeed be invited back to be a judge, and the probability is not small.

"Pressing for two years? That's impossible. You've won two Silver Bear Awards for Best Director over there, do you think "No Man's Land" has a big chance? ”

Ning Hao was a little reluctant to give up and continued to ask.

"Where is this accurate. Now this version of "No Man's Land" I can't guarantee it.

Or...... You brought the original version of No Man's Land with you? I think that one has a good chance of winning the award, at least an Alfred Ball Silver Bear Award! ”

Lin Nan looked at Ning Hao with a wicked smile and gave him a "good" idea.

"I'm going to die!"

Xing Aina reacted the fastest and smacked Lin Nan lightly.

"Your uncle, I didn't poison this meal, you actually want to harm me?"

Ning Hao immediately pointed at Lin Nan and scolded with a smile.

"Isn't it a three- to five-year ban? Fight hard, maybe you can get a golden bear? ”

"Hehe, I don't have that courage, I can't compare with Jiang Wen and Lou Ye. I'll just take this version of the review and sign up. ”

Lin Nan smiled and nodded, he was just joking. "That's it?"

"It's settled, let's go to Berlin."

…………

At about seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Nan was a little drunk and was driven back by the bad monkey people.

After returning home and drinking a glass of honey water handed to him by Liu Yifei, Lin Nan originally wanted to lie down for a while to sober up.

But when he closed his eyes, he really fell asleep, and he only remembered in a daze that Miss Liu helped him take off his clothes.

When Lin Nan woke up again, it was already the next morning, and he was awakened by urine.

"Oh, it's all Ning Hao's fault, pour me wine!"

Looking at Liu Yifei, who was sitting in the living room so early, Lin Nan knew that she was coming to see her.

I saw Miss Liu show a sly smile, "Even if you don't drink too much, it's not okay, relatives are here, ......"

Belch......

This is not good news.

"Let's take a look at the movie information, the box office is very good!"

Liu Yifei patted the position next to her and gestured to Lin Nan.

Sure enough, the box office of "Time and Space Traveler" did not meet Lin Nan's expectations.

"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Guo Wan, starring Luo Jin, Wan Qian, Reba, Tang Yan, Sun Yizhou, Deng Jiajia and others, the box office of the movie "Time and Space Traveler" on the first day was reported to be 38.5 million ......"

"The low-budget movie "Youth Pie" starring post-90s actor Dong Zijian and Golden Horse actress Qin Hailu was officially released today."

Lin Nan patted his forehead.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yifei wondered.

"I promised Guo Wan yesterday to help him ask for data, and I have to say sorry to him in a while......"

Lin Nan opened his phone as he spoke.

There was a message in the text message that I received at 12:10 a.m., which was the first-day box office data of "Time and Space Traveler".

"You go wash up first, mom cooked porridge, I'll go serve you a bowl."

Liu Yifei said intimately, without waiting for Lin Nan to react, she had already gotten up and walked out.

Looking at Miss Liu's slender figure, Lin Nan couldn't help but show a gentle smile on her face, muttering:

"Han, I can go with you after I wash up, but I have to run one more trip, it's stupid, hehe......"

At this time, Lin Nan suddenly remembered something in his mind.

When he left Nortel two days ago, he saw Chen Jinfei, who was with his assistant.
