In the afternoon, there were two movie reviews on the Internet one after another.

Subsequently, a large number of viewers and fans participated.

"It's still that Zhang Yimou, it's still that Gong Li, and "Return" many years later is still so touching."

"When it comes to tear-jerking, it has to be Director Zhang. Like the original "Alive", powerlessness, depression, and despair ......"

"Gong Li's acting skills are impeccable, and he can make people cry inadvertently, he is worthy of Emperor Gong!"

"If you don't see the end, you don't know who the villain is, Director Lin uses the double-edged nature of lies to the extreme."

""The Invisible Guest" is awesome, reversed, reversed, and progressive. It's simply Rashomon-esque self-justification. ”

"The plot is invincible, the process of the movie is the continuous repetition of the case, the details are meticulous to the extreme, and the peak duel of IQ!"

"The whole movie exposes the darkness in the depths of human nature, and makes people nervous and scalp numb......"

"The two films have different focuses, so don't miss them...... I have to reminisce about "The Invisible Guest" again, it's too brain-burning and has a headache! ”

"Facts have proved that director Lin Nan deserves to win the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and he deserves it!"

……

Two top domestic directors rarely fought head-on, which made a group of film critics extremely excited.

Because they have a rare opportunity to show their faces, they came.

In short, it's still the same old-fashioned, no good words, it's all nitpicking. The bigger the director, the more he has to nitpick and belittle.

first accused Zhang Yimou of exhausting Jiang Lang and not being able to jump out of his comfort zone.

then criticized Lin Nan, saying that "The Invisible Guest" lacks positive meaning and has too much dark side of human nature.

Viewers and fans on the Internet don't care what kind of film critic you are, and no matter what kind of government unit you work in, it will be a scolding to catch you.

Someone even gave the most "vicious" advice:

It is recommended that these film critics watch the Spring Festival Gala more, receive more "positive" education, and don't know to go against the masses all day long.

……

Liu Yifei always cares about Lin Nan's movies, and she has never cared so much about her own films.

Whenever she sees someone praising "The Invisible Guest" on Weibo, she always shows a smile and shares it with Lin Nan, and then likes it.

In this way, Miss Liu snuggled up to Lin Nan and spent the whole afternoon doing the same thing.

That silly and simple appearance is really intoxicating, anyway, Lin Nan is quite confused, people have become lazy, and they are infected by Liu Yifei.

"The Return" and "The Invisible Guest" compete for each other in the same schedule, which is the headline of today's film and television entertainment information.

And the film industry is also looking forward to the first-day box office data coming out tomorrow to witness the first victory or defeat between the two generations of big directors.

At about five o'clock in the evening, Yue Jun called over:

"Director Lin, in the afternoon, the company received the above notice of participation, signed by the Copyright Bureau, the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Public Security......"

Hearing the names of this series of departments, Lin Nan was immediately startled.

"What's the situation?"

"I didn't say anything specific, I just asked me to go to the conference later this month. I inquired, and not only us, but also the big companies in the industry have received it. ”

"Listen to this, it's a matter of the entire film and television industry, right?"

Lin Nan muttered in his mouth, and suddenly realized something.

"What about the Internet industry?"

"And they got it, too."

Okay, now Lin Nan can probably guess what is going on. Didn't you fall two days before the broadcast, it should be related to this incident.

"Okay, I see. You adjust your schedule and go on behalf of the company when the time comes. ”

"I'm going to participate? No problem, right? ”

"Since it was sent to the company, and I didn't say by name that I would go, of course it's no problem for you to participate."

"yes, then I'll do it."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan asked about the light and the potato, and sure enough, they both had a share.

He hesitated and called Han Sanping again, who was currently hanging on the empty position, but he was absolutely well-informed.

"You were there at the conference last year, didn't you say that you would come up with a way to solve the stubborn problem of piracy in China within a year, and that was it!"

Putting down the phone, Lin Nan's mind still echoed with Han Sanping's voice.

"The film and television industry, the era of capital and demons, is about to come completely. Fortunately, I am also capital! ”

…………

As the night passed, many people in the circle were a little excited.

Originally, it was a deserted mid-May, but Lin Nan and Zhang Yimou were forced to make it a popular schedule.

Early in the morning, the film and television industry couldn't wait to care about the outcome of the battle between the two films yesterday.

The headlines of major portals and Weibo are all the same.

"Directed by Zhang Yimou, starring Gong Li, Chen Daoming, and Zhang Huiwen, the box office of the movie "Return" received 21.19 million on the first day, and received rave reviews.

"Director Lin Nan's work, the Oscar-winning film "The Invisible Guest" won 28.85 million box office on the first day, and unfortunately there is no Chinese version."

"The theater side predicts that the box office of the two movies today may rise as a whole."

"In the battle between the two directors, the box office of "Return" on the first day was 7.66 million, and it was a pity to lose."

……

It's out! At the box office on the first day, Lin Nan led Zhang Yimou by 7.66 million!

Many filmmakers in the circle have an unexpected but reasonable feeling about this result.

Originally, everyone thought that Zhang Yimou would keep his position in the field of literary films and realistic films.

After all, he has won so many awards, two Golden Lions, one Golden Bear, numerous awards at international A-class film festivals, and more than a dozen Best Films and Best Directors of Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers......

But Lin Nan is the youngest director after all, with a unique box office appeal, a domestic film box office record holder, and the only director in the mainland with a box office of 200 million US dollars in the North American market......

Not only that, but for the first time, insiders noticed a problem:

I haven't compared Lin Nan and Zhang Yimou together before, because they are inferior.

But this time, put it together and compare, everyone realized that among the big domestic directors, Lin Nan's number of overseas awards seems to be second only to Zhang Yimou?

That's right, it's second only to! This is not to be derogatory, you must know that the difference between the two of them is 34 years old!

……

Although only two movies have released first-day box office data, the Internet and the film and television circles are extremely lively.

Since the morning, many people have called, sent messages to congratulate and ridicule Lin Nan.

"You can't do it now, in the area of award-winning films, you can already crush director Zhang Yimou head-on.

Film Association, Directors Guild, Screenwriters Guild...... These departments are becoming more and more aggrieved.

The youngest big director is not in any of the associations, it's so ironic! Haha......"

Listening to Ning Hao's unscrupulous jokes, Lin Nan was also happy.

Because Ning Hao is telling the truth, all the associations in the film and television industry, Lin Nan is indeed not one of them now, and he is free.

But not to mention, there aren't so many things, it's a very good feeling, very comfortable.

At noon, Miss Liu reminded Lin Nan to watch the news.

I don't know if these media reporters have eaten too much and have nothing to do, so they actually went to interview other directors.

asked them what they thought of the box office of Zhang Yimou's "Return", which was not as good as Lin Nan's "Invisible Guest".

Good fellow, isn't that hate?

But don't mention, there are really several directors who have been interviewed and even said a lot of things.

Jia Zhangke, Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei and others were all congratulating, Jiang Wen seemed to be drunk, and directly said, "It should be like this!" ”

And in the end, directors Chen Kaige and Chen Da made a long discussion at the end of the filming of "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain".

"Generally speaking, Lin Nan still has no experience and depth in art films, a lead at the box office is nothing, he still has a long way to go, and he needs to learn.

However, as a senior, if I have the opportunity, I would be very interested in meeting his films, and I think I have ...... experience in the field of genre films."

Lin Nan looked at the news on the Internet, speechless.

"Director Chen's tone is to treat Director Zhang and I as juniors, right? Still touching? Translated, is it pointing? ”

Lin Nan muttered with a smile, and Lu Yang's words suddenly flashed in his mind.

Before the start of "Embroidered Spring Knife 2", Lu Yang had the idea of setting the movie schedule on the same day as "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain", and even thought of using Chen Kaige as the background board at the box office!

"Alas, "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" VS "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain"? Why do I think his idea is very good at this time? Well, you can try ......"

…………

It's the middle of May.

"X-Men: Future Past" at the end of the month and "Eavesdropping 3" at the end of the month are all eyeing each other.

The promotion of the two films has also reached the most critical time.

On the day of the release of The Invisible Guest, the previous film held its mainland premiere ceremony in Beijing.

Although Lin Nan didn't go, I heard that Fan Bingbing had soy sauce in it again.

It's quite miserable to say, in Hollywood movies, Fan Bingbing is not as good as Li Bingbing after all, at least the latter has a big supporting role.

"Director Lin, Huo Wenxi called, the promotion of "Ip Man 3" is about to start, 40 days in advance."

"Then let's get the word out. This summer file, it's too difficult. ”

Lin Nan smiled and complained, this time the pressure on his own company is also not small.

China Film did not resist in front, and "Transformers 4" was put into the summer file and released simultaneously worldwide.

And it was released on the same day as "Ip Man 3" and "Breakup Master".

In addition, there are three Hollywood blockbusters in June, "Edge of Tomorrow", "Godzilla", and "Maleficent"!

These four movies are scary to listen to, and they make many domestic film producers tremble.

Originally, there was a tacit understanding in the circle, and domestic films were also ready to start repaying debts in the second half of the year.

But who knew that in just one week, two imported blockbusters were airborne, and the debt repayment time was directly advanced to June.

At this point, many film companies are scolding, nostalgic for when Han Sanping was still there.

If the mountain carving is still there, there is a high probability that several Hollywood blockbusters will be released on the same day, and let them play slowly and play by themselves.
