Chapter 572: The first-day box office

A public relations reception is not simply about eating, drinking, and socializing.

Lin Nan needs to work with the creators to publicize and explain the connotation and deep meaning of the creation of this film on stage, in short, it is still publicity.

After coming down in the morning, I was tired enough, to say something unpleasant, Lin Nan had never been so tired in China.

He glanced at Leonardo, this guy was simply full of energy, and he hadn't stopped since the beginning of the drinking party.

In front of a group of Oscar Academy judges, there was talking, laughing, and talking, and his face was about to burst into folds.

That's right, only in front of Oscar, Xiao Lizi will be so "servile"!

Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts are also very hard-working, and the actors who have aspirations can't resist the temptation of the Oscars.

"Lin, after the noon banquet, there will be another one in the evening."

Tom ran to Lin Nan with a wine glass and reminded.

"Uncle, I know."

Looking at Tom's obscene appearance, Lin Nan was angry: "Hurry up and wipe off the lipstick marks on your face, it's an eyesore!" ”

"Hehe, I didn't notice, I didn't notice."

At the end of the luncheon, the first public relations reception of "The Invisible Guest" ended successfully, and it was generally successful.

Several main creators met in Crystal Pictures.

"The announcement of this year's Oscar shortlist is in mid-January. When the time comes, we will know if we have a chance in this movie. ”

"I'll be in Hollywood for about a week to ten days, and I'll leave it to you for more than half a month."

Lin Nan said with a smile. The deadline for the first round of PR is the end of December, as voting will begin at the beginning of January.

As for whether there is a second round of public relations, it depends on whether there is "Invisible Guest" in the list in the middle of next month.

"Lin, don't worry. Strictly speaking, the reception is just a platform to get closer and build momentum for the film, and the real public relations are in private. ”

Xiao Lizi said very appropriately, he is worthy of being accompanied by him all the year round and has rich experience.

"Leon is right, that's right." Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts chimed in.

"I just want to know now, what was our first day of box office. If it can be nominated, the copyright in other regions will be easier to sell later. ”

When Lin Nan said this, he suddenly remembered something, and he looked at Leonardo.

"Leon, I need to talk to you."

"Well, what are you talking about?"

"For this movie, I want to buy the copyright of the Chinese market, and I need your half."

"Lin, of course that's fine."

In the afternoon, Tom wanted to pull Lin Nan to go to other parties, but he refused.

He has to recharge his energy to cope with the public relations reception in the evening, because Xiao Lizi will be absent from the second reception of "The Invisible Guest" and go to "The Wolf of Wall Street".

…………

Since Noon Sunshine and Lin Nan Pictures announced the "Langya Bang" project, the mainland film and television industry has been keeping an eye on it these days.

Because everyone can see that this will be the top TV series project in the circle, and there are really many characters in it.

Especially the male protagonist, which can be regarded as a "big male protagonist" template, and many supporting roles are also very distinctive and highlighted.

"I heard Senior Brother Yue Jun say that although the audition casting was handled by Noon Sunshine, the final list had to be passed by Lin Nan.

You go to the audition first, it's really not good, just wait for Lin Nan to come back and go find him yourself. I've only met them once in a hurry, so it's not appropriate to ask like this. ”

Many acquaintances came to Liu Yifei to find a way, and she sent them back with the same words.

This is not to fool everyone, because Liu Yifei really feels that it is not good for her to interfere with the audition over there.

When I hung up, it was already 10:15 a.m.

Miss Liu was going to go back to sleep, but she calculated the time, and she could call Lin Nan!

Just call when you say it, and don't want to delay for a second.

As soon as he touched a glass with Scarlett Johansson, the mobile phone in Lin Nan's pocket vibrate.

Looking at the caller ID, Lin Nan naturally showed a warm smile on his face.

"Lin, you get busy first."

"Okay, Scarlett."

Under the gaze of many guests at the scene, Lin Nan went to a quiet place outside.

"Sissi, why did you get up so early today?"

"Why, I was woken up by their phone calls.

A lot of people want the role of "Langya Bang", and they come to me, and I ask them to audition or wait for you to come back to you. ”

Liu Yifei's voice at this time did not have that soft nasal voice, and she was obviously awake.

And according to Lin Nan's experience, she has been awake for at least an hour.

"Well, that's fine, let's just say it, I'll deal with it when I get back."

Lin Nan is not a saint, he also has friends, if it is suitable, he can stuff people into the group.

There was still a drinking party inside, but Lin Nan was outside and Liu Yifei, you and me, for more than half an hour.

It wasn't until Tom came out to urge him that he had to hang up.

"I've already told Leon that I'll go back for a week to ten days."

"Uh-huh, I'll wait for you, muma, hehe......"

Lin Nan turned around with a smile and saw Tom's fat face, trembling with laughter.

"Lin, seeing you smile so happily, it's Crystal, right?"

"So, do you know how upset you are? Tom. Lin Nan said angrily.

"You can't blame me for this, Lin, you're the focus of the party......"

…………

The first day of December is over.

"The Invisible Guest" held two public relations and publicity receptions, which can be regarded as officially showing its face in Hollywood's three-acre land and awards season.

Lin Nan is looking forward to the box office results on the first day.

Although the competition is very fierce during the awards season, and "The Invisible Guest" is not a commercial type of film, he still has a lot of confidence.

After all, Leonardo still has a lot of box office appeal, and the other two actresses are also very good.

The next morning, Lin Nan was still lying in the bed, and Tom's phone called, which was instructed by Lin Nan.

"Tom, how much?"

"Lin, it's really good. Our film is not a commercial film, but it still shines at the box office on the first day. Paul just gave me the data, which is $18.36 million......"

Hearing this number, Lin Nan breathed a long sigh of relief.

In the final analysis, this is his first foreign language film in the true sense of the word, which directly entered North American theaters to participate in box office sharing.

The previous "Buried Alive" and "Hunting" are not counted, those two were sold at one time, and the box office has nothing to do with him.

"Hahaha, $18.36 million, it's absolutely no problem to return to capital. According to the law of the North American market, as long as it does not collapse, it will definitely be earned! ”

Lin Nan is still very excited, he estimates that the total box office should be more than 200 million US dollars, which is very likely!

The cost of this movie, in fact, is not that high.

Because it is an award-winning film, the two actresses are paid about two million, and the most expensive Leonardo not only lowered his salary, but also brought money into the group!

"As long as it can be nominated, the copyright in Europe and the copyright in other regions are net income!"

The data of the first day has been notified to all the main creators, and everyone is very excited.

…………

The domestic media have been paying attention to the news in Hollywood.

Because this is Lin Nan's first time in the North American market, and it is a foreign language film.

This can be said to be the only one of the scorpions in the mainland film industry!

Approaching 10 o'clock in the evening, Lin Nan's news appeared in the mainland's movie information, and it was directly airborne to the front page headlines.

"The Invisible Guest, a foreign language film directed by Lin Nan and starring Leonardo, Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts, earned $18.36 million at the box office on the first day of its release in North America......"

"This is the debut of a mainland director in a foreign language film in the North American film market, and director Lin Nan has opened up and set a box office record......"

……

The domestic film industry is considered to have exploded, and it exploded on the big night.

"Finally, there is a mainland director who goes to Hollywood to steal his home, Director Lin is awesome!"

"How many domestic blockbusters are shouting for global release, and how many box office have they got in North America?"

"Popular science: "Golden Armor" 6 million US dollars, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" 320,000 US dollars, "1942" 310,000 US dollars, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" 170,000 US dollars...... "Warring States" 68,000 US dollars, "The Legend of the White Snake" 18,000 US dollars......"

In China, not only is there a lot of excitement on the Internet, but also actors and production companies in the film and television industry are even more excited.

"Director Lin Nan has succeeded, this is a real Hollywood director, right?"

"Yes, it's already!"

"If one person attains the Tao, this is about the chicken dog to ascend to heaven......"

……

Liu Yifei is a night owl, and she is replying to the "sycophants" of netizens on Weibo at this time.

"Producer Liu, your director Lin is amazing!"

"The first mainland director to earn American knives in the real sense!"

"Producer Liu, it's time to get married, don't let him run away."
