Chapter 659: Word of mouth, it's out of the charts
Although the summer file has entered August, there are no too attractive movies in the first half of the year.
Among the domestic films, there are all films that make people not interested, such as "Foreign Girls Come to My House", "Pure Desire", "Adventures in the Mysterious World 2".
If you want to say an exception, it may only be the imported movie "Violent Block B13" that is a bit of a gimmick, and the reputation is not bad.
But the box office response of this movie was mediocre, and it was hung and beaten by movies such as "After the End" and "The White-Haired Witch", which were released for more than a week.
If you think about it carefully, this should also be intentional on the part of China Film Distribution Company, which specially arranged the film like this.
put a group of domestic films that do not have much box office appeal together, a few days apart, and follow several "well-known" domestic films.
so that they can have a respite for nearly half a month in the summer file, and they don't have to face the pressure of six imported films in the middle and late months, so that they won't die miserably.
The celebration banquet of "Ip Man 3" in the capital was handed over to Yinghuang to host, and Lin Nan Pictures sent someone to the platform.
As the boss, Lin Nan is attending the premiere ceremony of Xiying's "Jianghu on the Sword Record" next door at the moment.
Sometimes, incense is accumulated back and forth like this.
At the huge premiere scene, there are many actors and stars, and there are many media, but there are not many real big names in the industry, and it seems that Lin Nan is the only one.
It's not that Xiying can't keep up with the times, but that the times have abandoned Xiying, and its glory now only exists in film history, and its geographical location is also limited.
"What does Director Lin think of this film? Whether it's the script, the lines, or the shooting, we all put our hearts into it. ”
The director of the production department of Xiying sat next to Lin Nan, smiling and asking expectantly.
"It's a very good movie, it's a metaphor for the past and the present, and it's full of irony."
Lin Nan is telling the truth, but this movie may be a little ahead of its time.
In the lines, every sentence does not talk about today's society, but every sentence is today's society!
He even felt that if the producer was not Western Film, but changed to other film and television companies, it was estimated that the review would not be easy.
"Haha, with Director Lin's words, we are relieved."
The production director smiled happily, and the other middle-level officials of Xiying also nodded with satisfaction, but Lin Nan didn't think so.
In his opinion, the situation of "Jianghu on the Sword Record" is very embarrassing.
Although the movie is good, the cast is too weak and the publicity gimmick is insufficient.
Think about it in June, when there were a lot of blockbusters, and Xiying chose to temporarily withdraw the file, which is understandable.
But although there is no too dazzling big production in the middle of this month, there are many more strong opponents than "Jianghu on the Sword Record", and the situation is even worse. Xiying, on the other hand, seems to be a little overconfident.
It didn't take long for the movie to end, and a specially marked line appeared in the subtitles: "Thank you, Mr. Wuma, go all the way." ”
That's right, this movie was the last movie that Wu Ma appeared in. Yan Chixia, Zhong Kui, Wu Daozi and other characters are really classics!
After watching the movie, after chatting a few more words, Lin Nan didn't stay long, and didn't want to participate in the next social interaction, and left early after promising to help shout and publicize.
Speaking of which, Lin Nan's behavior this week has indeed offended many people in the industry and interest circles.
On his way back to the company, he received a call from Sina.
Some people, or groups of people, have already started to move.
Yesterday, Lin Nan took the lead, with light and Wanda, announced that he unilaterally "banned" those bad artists.
Today, the press releases on the Internet and the posts on Weibo have sprung up in a spurt of air.
Although none of the circulars is explicitly refuting Lin Nan's "blocking" proposal and unilateral "blocking" behavior.
But all the posts are very "gentle" to raise objections, "discussing" whether Lin Nan, Guangguang and Wanda's practices are too harsh, rigid, and impersonal.
And they also cite scriptures to argue, what: "The prodigal son does not change his money", "If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault?" After that, it can be changed, and the good is great", "The law has forgiven, why are the insiders still holding on......
"Hehe, this is the "standard formula" for manipulating public opinion, first use a large number of seemingly neutral drafts to wash the floor and pave the way, and then ......"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan said with a sneer.
…………
There was a lot of news in the morning, and I heard that Bo Na and Cao Bao Ping held a press conference.
They set the release date of "Scorching Sun" on November 21 for the Chinese New Year.
However, the most asked questions by the media at the scene were bluffing, and Yu Dongdu's face darkened on the spot, almost pointing at the reporter's nose and scolding people.
"Left Ear" on the other side of the light has also officially started, and compared to the efficiency of "Mermaid", it can be called a god speed.
Lin Nan sat in the office, and after brushing the news for a while, he continued to refine the script.
After a while, the vibrating sound of the mobile phone on the table startled him.
Connected the phone, before he could speak, the hearty voice of the old forest head had already come from there:
"This time I bought a plane ticket, on the morning of the 20th, there are still ten days to go. I'll call you again when I get there. ”
"Well, good. I'll pick you up at the airport. Lin Nan replied softly.
He had specifically told Lao Lin Tou before to buy a ticket and not to choose the railway, after all, he was so old and it was too expensive to take a car.
Now the ticket is bought, but it was originally said to arrive ten days in advance, and it was cut in half.
"After seven or eight years, you are finally getting engaged, and I can get married as soon as possible, and I can ...... with peace of mind."
After finishing the business of the first sentence, Lao Lin Tou began to "educate" his own son, and there was a feeling that Lin Nan finally did not continue to be a "rebel".
That's it, when I finally hung up the phone, I didn't forget to knock Lin Nan and ask him to be honest and obey the law!
Hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh.
Because of the nature of his and Liu Yifei's work, Lao Lin Tou has now developed the habit of watching film and television entertainment news, but he remembers some negative news!
Before returning home from the company, Lin Nan posted a Weibo.
"I recommend the "Jianghu Sword Record" produced by Western Film and released on the 15th, which is a very interesting movie. The more experienced people in life, the more they may like this film. ”
……
When I got home, it happened that Liu Yifei's nanny car was parked outside, and it was estimated that she had just come back.
Over the years, Lin Nan, who is not interested in the fashion circle, knows the rules of the circle next door.
Because at the beginning of each year and in July and August, Miss Liu will be very busy, and there are many announcements and invitations.
"You're back?"
It should have just changed clothes, Liu Yifei went downstairs while tying her hair, and after seeing Lin Nan's figure, she asked happily.
"yes."
After nodding to the assistant who was about to leave, Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, "It's a magazine again?" How many days will you shoot this time? ”
"There are three days to go. I didn't go to Bazaar last year, but this morning I came to the set again to invite me in person. ”
Miss Liu thought of something interesting and smiled sweetly. "They said, "Invite us as a couple."
"Newcomer? Really good at talking, haha......"
Engaged this month, and next month, isn't it just a couple? So to speak.
"Then it's up to you."
Lin Nan said with a smile. Engaged this month, how happy to come, everything is up to Miss Liu, and donations are also a good thing.
In the afternoon, the two of them stayed at home again.
Liu Yifei is very fulfilling, reading books, watching cartoons, petting cats, chatting...... Anyway, Lin Nan is a pillow, and Director Lin Da is thinking about his future movie arrangement.
To be precise, Lin Nan only finished "Manchester by the Sea" in early April, and it has only been more than four months.
And the time flow from the Golden Globe to Berlin at the end of the year is also two or three months.
If you think about it this way, I'm afraid I won't be able to open a new movie this year?!
"After the end of Venice, Berlin will start to select films......"
Lin Nan estimated that he didn't need to sign up, and Berlin would take the initiative to find him.
Because after the screening of "Manchester by the Sea", there is no release plan so far, and he has not gone to Cannes and Venice, which perfectly meets the requirements of the film festival, coupled with his current status in the industry and his relationship with Berlin, eight or nine are inseparable!
Xinghui sent an email to Lin Nan.
The audition will end on the 15th of this month, leaving 300 people, and then Zhou Xingchi will personally lead the team for a one-month trip to the finals.
Zhou Xingchi invited Lin Nan, La Companion Kang, and Ren Zhonglun to participate in the final 13-in-6 finals on the 15th of next month, and selected 6 girls to stay, one is the heroine, and the remaining 5 are dragon sets!
Lin Nan admired Zhou Xingchi's side, he really wanted to make money, and he didn't care about his face.
is obviously the heroine of the movie, but it has become a large-scale talent show and business!
Not to mention the registration fee for the audition, just from 300 to 6 people to compete, you have to choose different cities and different locations to hold it, and there are a lot of sponsorships and advertisements!
Not to mention, this kind of thing seems to be possible with Lin Nan's influence. But he won't do that, he still cares too much about his skin!
……
Early the next morning, Lin Nan was not woken up by the alarm clock set by Liu Yifei, but was woken up by the phone.
Seeing that there were less than twenty minutes left before the alarm clock, Lin Nan simply turned off the alarm clock.
He was going to come back after answering the phone, and he told Miss Liu to get up.
Shirtless and wearing big pants, Lin Nan sat in the living room on the first floor, yawning and answering the phone: "Ahhhh......h ”
"You know, you're God! Hahaha......"
Wang Changtian's laughter was a little inexplicable, and Lin Nan was very confused for a while.
"You're hysterical, aren't you? God babble. ”
"You're hysterical! I'm glad that God is on our side.
On the Internet, the reputation of Lin Nan Pictures, the reputation of Light, and the reputation of Wanda Pictures have reached a new level, and they have exploded, haha......"
"You'd better say it quickly, I'll be able to get some sleep in a hurry." Lin Nan complained.
"What's the hurry, so young and so sleepy?"
"You can't wait until you're your age to fall asleep, right?"
"Gotta got, watch the news by yourself, don't bother to talk about you."
