A night passed, and until the day, the film and television industry was still being "swiped" by the box office news of "The Invisible Guest".

The popularity and topicality are not only high, but also faintly on the rise.

Even at seven o'clock, the movie and the first-day box office data appeared on the morning news in the form of text messages.

You must know that in the North American film market, the big mainland directors who have achieved actual box office results are a completely different concept!

For the entire domestic film industry, Lin Nan is like once again completing the ascension, and it is impossible to keep a low profile.

There are no actors in the circle who have worked with Lin Nan and have a good relationship, and they are not happy to see it.

The more successful Director Lin is, the more honored everyone will be, and maybe there will be a chance for chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven in the future.

"Now, he has even made up for the shortcomings of the final North American market......"

Many directors in the circle are a little emotional.

After all, after so many years, everyone has at most earned dollars through copyright transactions at film festivals.

That's it, and there are only a few big directors who are eligible to sell a lot of copyright prices at the three major European film festivals.

So far, no mainland director has been able to get a piece of the pie in North American theaters......

No, now there is, it's Lin Nan!

The publicity of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" was also influenced by Lin Nan and "The Invisible Guest".

It jumped to the first place in an instant from the top three of the dozens of movies in the two major schedules of the Chinese New Year and the Spring Festival, and instantly jumped to the first place, and far widened the distance from the following movies.

…………

On the 3rd, "No Man's Land" was officially released.

"Lin Nan, this guy, no one is in China, but the circle is full of his news, it's really unreasonable!"

Ning Hao complained as he prepared to go out. He and Xing Aina were going to the premiere of the light.

The war for the Chinese New Year has begun, and the first strong opponent of "No Man's Land" is "The Four Famous Catches 2" produced by Guangguang and directed by Chen Jiashang.

"If you have his grades, you can do the same, I envy Yifei very much. I met her in a while, and I have to congratulate her. ”

Xing Aina picked up the bag and followed Ning Hao out of the door, hitting the latter mercilessly.

"I, I, alas......"

Ning Hao "me" for a long time, but he didn't hold back a word, so he could only change the topic:

"Wait until next month, maybe I'll be nominated for the Golden Bear Award, and then ......"

"Yo Yo Yo, look at what you can, if you really nominate you, I will allow you to sleep in the study for a month and never disturb you."

"Really?"

Ning Hao was happy at first, and then changed his face instantly: "Where do I sleep, I still want your permission, and make trouble unreasonably......"

As he spoke, he went to drive without looking back, leaving only Xing Aina behind him with a smiling face.

…………

The same set of propaganda words, when you say it once or twice, it's okay, and when you repeat it to the third and fourth times, you start to get a little tired, Lin Nan feels this way now.

The night of Hollywood's awards season was like daylight, and the PR party went on.

Lin Nan and others changed their tricks and "recommended" "Invisible Guest" to all the guests and college judges.

"It's the first time I've participated in film public relations in the whole process, and I really can't accept this intensity."

Lin Nan took a sip of juice and complained.

In two days, this was the fourth party he hosted, and he also took time to give other movies a show, after all, there are contacts.

"Lin, after a long time, you will get used to it. You have to learn from Leon at this point, you see him, he has never been so patient and gentlemanly with his girlfriend! Tsk......"

"Hehe, he's sick. If you wait for him to get the little golden man one day, he will definitely not be like this, maybe he will become sloppy and unkempt. ”

Lin Nan looked at Leonardo, who was well-dressed and personable, and was talking and laughing in the distance, and casually quipped.

After lazy and resting for a while, Lin Nan walked into the crowd again with a wine glass, "Hold on for a few more days, and then return to China." ”

……

At the end of the second day, the box office of "The Invisible Guest" reported 18.65 million US dollars, a slight increase.

Lin Nan stayed in the office of Crystal Pictures, watching the finished film of "Fifty Shades of Grey", and the shooting was good.

"According to the rules of the awards season, the box office in the first week will most likely account for about half of the box office in the first month.

If you can nominate or even win awards later, then the total box office will accumulate again, and the trickle will flow for a long time. ”

Listening to Tom's broken Chinese, Lin Nan nodded: "I remember that "Fifty Shades of Grey" was released on New Year's Day, right?" ”

"Yes, from tomorrow, the Lionsgate side will start to build a hype."

Lin Nan supported his forehead with his hand and pinched his eyebrows, he was a little weak-hearted, he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh.

Because "The Invisible Guest" is very good at the box office in North America, the domestic media pay more attention to his news and dynamics here.

What is certain is that "Fifty Shades of Grey" will never be "missed" by them.

This is a movie adapted from the best-selling script of the same name, and after the news is transmitted back to China, you don't need to watch the finished film to know what the content is.

At that time, with the virtue of the domestic entertainment media, Lin Nan can guess how they will report, and it must be how exaggerated it is!

Think about the reactions of those guys in the film and television industry, the entertainment industry, the Internet, and the circle of friends, hiss......

Lin Nan had a feeling that he might want to die?!

He gave Tom a blank look, and wanted to beat him up.

Tom sensed that something was wrong and was stunned, "Huh? Lin, what are you looking at me like this? ”

"It's nothing, it's just the kind of ...... that I think I should send you to make an adult movie, all year round"

Lin Nan muttered in a low voice, this guy!

“what？”

Tom's eyes widened in disbelief what he was hearing.

"Okay, you go out, don't disturb me reading the script."

…………

Before resting in the evening, Lin Nan also paid special attention to the domestic news.

Ning Hao's persistence for more than four years was not in vain.

If it had been released in 09, it would definitely not have the current box office.

As a road crime film, "No Man's Land" cut a high box office of 22 million on the first day of release.

You must know that this data is a very bright achievement in non-commercial films.

The most important thing is that "No Man's Land" is highly rated, both online and in the industry.

In the words of many directors and producers in the circle:

"It was worth spending more than four years waiting for this movie. But everyone also regrets the failure of the first version of "No Man's Land" even more. That version is only going to be better......"

Lin Nan saw that even Han Sanping was rarely interviewed, and expressed helplessness that this movie had been beaten back countless times in four years.

"I'm really retired, and I'm not in his position, so it's convenient to say something."

Lin Nan joked in his mouth and looked at another one.

Director Chen Da really loves Hong Kong and Taiwan actors so much.

"The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" officially announced the list of fixed actors, except for Wang Baoqiang, more than half of the rest of the main actors are from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

However, what Chen Hong said to the public before, the matter of choosing a rookie actress was really done.

This newcomer will play with Wang Baoqiang in "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", and have a night of fish and water.

It's true that she is a rookie actress, but Lin Nan doesn't think that this is a newcomer with no background.

After all, Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou are two people with completely different temperaments.

…………

From the third day, Lin Nan began to be very busy.

Even Liu Yifei's call has not been received many times.

On one side is the PR cocktail party, and on the other side is the box office of "The Invisible Guest".

Entertainment, communication, propaganda and speeches, and public relations expenses have also become gifts and bills, which melt rapidly like snowflakes under the scorching sun......

On the third day, the box office reported $16.05 million.

On the fourth day, it earned $14.09 million again

On the fifth day, the daily box office was 11.05 million......

With the gradual increase in the total box office of "The Invisible Guest" and the fermentation of word-of-mouth, Lin Nan has received more and more party invitations during the awards season, and he has been overwhelmed.

"Lin, as of today, we've had 11 PR parties.

About 225 members of the academy attended the reception, and even if they didn't come, they all mailed copies of the movies and gifts......"

Hearing the data reported by Tom, Lin Nan only had five words in his mind: spending money is like running water!

You know, the current Oscar Academy members are 6,814 people.

Even if the public relations agency selects some of them for public relations, the number of people is still hundreds or thousands.

"Help me book a plane ticket, I'm going to return to China in two days, and the rest will be left to you, Leonardo will be the main force."

Lin Nan looked at Tom and said a little tiredly.

"Okay, Lin."

…………

The publicity of "Fifty Shades of Grey" has also officially kicked off.

As Lin Nan guessed, it was really hard to explain!

The domestic media joined in the fun, reprinted and reported like crazy.

Transferred from Hollywood Movie Information:

The R-rated film "Fifty Shades of Grey", which is owned by director Lin Nan and controlled by Crystal Pictures, an independent Hollywood film production company, and invested and distributed by Lionsgate, will be released on New Year's Day, North American time......"

"The movie "Fifty Shades of Grey" is adapted from the best-selling film of the same name, and the North American film is rated R-rated (restricted).

The film is a romantic movie with some sadomasochistic (SM) scenes, and audiences under the age of 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to watch the ......"

……

This abrupt movie information has made the film and television industry and the Internet even more boiling.

Everyone is still paying attention to the box office of Lin Nan's "Invisible Guest", but suddenly, there is more exciting news?

There are very few filmmakers in the circle who own shares in Hollywood studios.

Domestic audiences, to a certain extent, have equated the movies produced by Crystal Pictures with Lin Nan.

And the news of "Fifty Shades of Grey" can be regarded as completely igniting the fire of gossip in the entertainment industry and netizens.

"Good guys, SM? This can't be filmed in China! ”

"Director Lin Nan is not a shareholder, and strongly demands Chinese dubbed version...... Pirates, remember to give some force! ”

"I just want to know, is this what Director Lin nodded to shoot? Don't fall for him! ”

"Director Jia Zhangke doesn't want to make erotic films with realistic themes, let him ask Director Lin for help, and invite Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, and Fan Bingbing to Hollywood to shoot!"

"Looking forward to ......"

……

Liu Yifei looked at the heated discussion on the Internet, and felt a little cryless without tears.

She really wanted to explain for Lin Nan, but she knew that this was not a big deal, it was just a joke for everyone.

"Hmph, this damn Tom, let Lin Nan take the blame......"

Liu Yifei muttered as she checked her phone.

Sure enough, text messages and penguin messages are flashing, and there are many people under Weibo......

"Yifei, Crystal Pictures has made R-rated movies? Let Lin Nan bring a copy back, and everyone will gain knowledge. ”

Zhu Yawen posted a lot of emojis in the group.

"It's not that you haven't seen it, so excited?" Luo Jin replied.

"The key is that this is the closest R-rated film producer to us, and Lin Nan is a shareholder!"

……

Liu Yifei looked at a group of people chattering, she didn't interject, and looked through the news on Weibo again.

"Producer Liu, can you tell my sister in a private message, how many shares does Director Lin have in Crystal Pictures? You absolutely know! ”

"The company held by Lin Nan is quite wide. I recommend myself, I can also act in this kind of movie, as long as it can be released in North America......"

"Xiao Ming, you're too much, everyone is here to gossip, but you don't do 'business'!"

"It's just some shots, and it's not real...... I'll also recommend myself, and the producer will give me a chance. ”

……

With this momentum, many actors in the circle were embarrassed to say what they said in the past, but this time they all said it in a joking way on Liu Yifei's side.

Liu Yifei replied with a smile, everyone in Aite:

"Let me state for Lin Nan that this movie was initiated by Tom, not Lin Nan. As for the characters, I can't help with them, but if I have the chance, he will definitely tell everyone. ”

"Oops, thank you Producer Liu."

"Thank you, Mrs. Director......"

…………

After participating in the Golden Horse Awards, Lin Nan came to Hollywood.

Six days in late November, plus six days in December, he spent twelve days here.

At noon on the 7th, Tom personally led people to send Lin Nan and his party to the airport.

"Lin, after you get off the plane, you should be able to see our first week box office."

"yes, I see. Go back, remember to keep an eye on the public relations thing in the future. ”

After speaking, Lin Nan took the two assistants and the suitcase and went straight to the waiting hall.

The word tiring can also be used on airplanes. The 12-hour flight was really hard.

Even though Lin Nan forced himself to sleep, he only slept half the time, and the rest of the time he stared dryly in the first-class cabin.

"Sissi, you should be leaving home, right?"

When there were still more than two hours before landing, Lin Nan was chattering, and he hadn't seen him for nearly half a month, and he really missed Liu Yifei.

The capital, the sun at half past 12 noon, is not too hot, but it is harsh.

Lin Nan wore sunglasses and squeezed into the crowd with two assistants, knowing that it was unlikely that he would be able to hide from media reporters today.

After all, during this time, "The Invisible Guest" has always been a front-page headline in China, as well as "Fifty Shades of Grey".

Many of the pedestrians who came and went in the airport recognized Lin Nan, and he also signed a few names.

The moment he walked out of the airport exit, Lin Nan was "aimed".

However, his eyes were fixed on a BMW in the distance, and he didn't have to guess to know that Liu Xiaoli's car was driven by Liu Yifei.

"Director Lin, can I ask you a few questions?"

"Lin Dao ......"

Lin Nan didn't stop at his feet, and continued to walk into the distance.

"Just ask."

Hearing Lin Nan's agreement, a group of reporters instantly became excited.

"First of all, congratulations to Director Lin, "The Invisible Guest" has a box office of nearly 100 million in the first seven days of the first week!"

"How much?"

Lin Nan stopped and asked. "I haven't had time to watch the news yet, how much do you say?"

A group of reporters rushed to answer in a mess, "Director Lin, "The Invisible Guest" got a box office of $98.4 million in the first week and seven days. The news came back home an hour ago......"

Hearing this number, Lin Nan himself was in a trance for a few seconds, and then a happy smile appeared on his face:

"$98.4 million, that's good! Hahaha......"

This box office result can make Lin Nan go sideways in the domestic director circle!

At this time, Liu Yifei had already gotten out of the car and beckoned to Lin Nan from afar.

"I can only ask one question, I'm going to get in the car."

Lin Nan said with a smile that the two assistants had already put the suitcase into the trunk of the BMW, and then got into the company's pick-up car.

Opportunities will always be seized by prepared reporters, but this question really made Lin Nan hesitate.

"Director Lin, "Fifty Shades of Grey" is controlled by Crystal Films, and Lionsgate participates in the investment and production ......"

Lin Nan originally thought that the other party would ask the question of "Fifty Shades of Grey", but the reporter changed his mind and made a big turn.

“…… Director Lin, do you have more than half of your shares in Crystal Pictures? ”

Good guy, when this question was asked, even the media reporters next to him gave a thumbs up, "Good question!" ”

The smile on Lin Nan's face gradually faded, should you fool this time?

He glanced at Liu Yifei a few meters away, the face with a smile was really beautiful.
