Chapter 179: Box office, is Lin Nan an investor?

Tom has been a little unable to sit still these two days.

"Twilight" is the first theater movie independently produced by Crystal Film.

The data on opening the box office also represents the company's future position and influence in the Hollywood independent film industry.

"Don't sway in front of me, block the light."

Lin Nan angrily called Tom.

This guy has been walking around since the morning, and keeps muttering about God's blessing.

Lin Nan was shaking and had a headache.

"Lin, everyone knows that I am the CEO of Crystal Film. The box office is good or bad, but it will directly affect the treatment I receive at the cocktail party, no, during socializing.

I care a lot about envy, jealousy, or belittle my laughter."

At this moment, Tom did not hide his vanity at all, and he said it was justified. Of course, this is also a fact.

"Waiting for the news, Lions Gate will notify you."

In fact, Lin Nan was also a little nervous inside.

Horror movies are niche movies, with a relatively fixed audience, and their competitors are basically the same type of movies.

But "Twilight" is different. It is a youth romance film, belonging to a large genre, and its opponent is all the films released at the same time.

A buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the huge office.

It was Lin Nan's cell phone vibrating on the table.

"Liongate?" Tom asked subconsciously.

Lin Nan nodded and picked up his cell phone.

Paul's voice was loud, "Lin, the box office results are very good, but there is also a small problem..."

"How many? What's the problem?"

Lin Nan asked afterwards.

"The first weekend, the box office in three days was 42 million..."

The phone's voiceover echoes clearly in the office.

Tom burst out laughing out loud, "Haha, I knew it would succeed..."

"Be quiet, Tom Paul, you continue."

“The problem is that box offices are decreasing at 30% to 40% every day. According to the market sector’s forecast, its box office potential is likely to be exhausted within a few days, which is the only shame.

But it is undeniable that it is already the most successful vampire movie, with market value for making a series of movies…”

"Okay, I get it, thank you."

Tom was confused at this moment, "Why is this happening?"

"Don't be greedy, Tom. This movie is destined to be profitable, so I'll just warm up the market for the subsequent series."

Lin Nan said calmly.

The first movie adapted from this bestseller is usually used to play in the front line. As long as you make a profit, you will not lose money in the subsequent series and will only make more and more profitable.

Now I don’t know how much the total box office of "Twilight" can reach and what day it will reach.

On the fourth day, as Lions Gate predicted, the box office data dropped directly to eight million.

On the fifth day, six million came.

...

...

Hollywood movie consultations are all reporting on "Twilight".

This vampire movie, which invested more than 10,000 US dollars, only took a week to earn $70.5 million, but it also came to an end and no box office will be generated.

Lin Nan was a little dazed in the office.

"Blind Mountain" was released and removed from the shelves several days after it was released.

Unexpectedly, the same situation in "Twilight" was the same. Fortunately, the box office was a big profit.

"Please come to the company by Director Katherine."

"Okay, Lin."

...

After Tom helped Lin Nan contact someone, he was impatient to attend the cocktail party.

The first shot of Crystal Film was started, and the person in charge became popular instantly.

The main creators already know the box office trend of "Twilight".

Now I am both happy and nervous.

As starring Christine and Robert, they have added a lot of fans these days, and this taste has fascinated them very much.

What I am worried about now is whether Crystal Pictures will continue to film the second season.

Although the box office in the first season was very good, it only had one week's box office potential. Whether the second season will be launched is full of uncertainty.

Katherine was particularly worried because she was the director. If the second season was filmed, the main creators would be replaced, and she would be the most likely to be replaced.

"Director Lin Nan."

"Director Catherine, thank you for your contribution to Twilight."

This sentence made Catherine, who had just sat down, feel a little nervous and she has a bad premonition.

Lin Nan saw the other party’s unnatural moment.

"The second season of Twilight, "The Crescent Moon", is still on the agenda. But I hope it can be made better.

At least, it’s not just a week in the theater. Of course, that’s not your reason.”

Catherine smiled.

No matter where you are, film directors, especially commercial directors, have relatively high status.

If she can become a commercial series director, this is an opportunity that she must not miss.

"Thank you, I will do my best to do the "New Moon". Is the time still the same as before?"

"Yes, one movie every year, this is the best time."

After Katherine left Crystal Pictures, Christine and others received a notice.

The second season of the series will proceed normally according to the initial contract.

This made a group of uneasy starring instantly feel at ease.

"Maybe we will all become the hottest stars after the next movie comes out..."

Christine, the heroine, said to others like this.

The notices for her recently have been filled, so are Robert.

Anyway, Twilight made three times the profit.

According to Hollywood convention, a celebration party is essential.

After Tom came back, he yelled about this with Lin Nan.

"Then let's do it, only for people in the independent film industry. You are the head of the company, so you can do it."

Lin Nan didn't want to ask about such troubles.

The next day, Tom was impatient to set up the location and began to invite personnel.

At his own cocktail party, Tom seemed to have changed his body.

It's no longer the kind of inappropriate and casualness that was before.

Instead, he is full of energy and versatile, and is simply a veteran in the social scene, exuding the style of a general.

Wen Zairen came to support him with exhaustion.

"Congratulations, Lin. It seems that most people don't know that you are the boss of Crystal Film now, right?"

"Well, yes. There is no need to promote this kind of thing."

"Tom became serious, but he was really sophisticated. It looks very stylish now."

Wen Zairen looked at Tom who was surrounded by the crowd and sighed.

Lin Nan also glanced over there, and his face suddenly became a little stiff.

He saw several domestic media and only hoped that Tom would not be careless.

…………

"Hollywood Film Company owner Tom, I feel that Lin Nan is a genius director."

"The celebration party of Twilight, Lin Nan and Wen Zai Ren chatted enthusiastically..."

"Director Lin Nan is suspected to be one of the investors of the Hollywood hit movie "Twilight".

...

The cocktail party ended, it was already very late.

The sky in China has just been dawning.

The news from the portal made many people pick up the phone and start verifying this matter.

A Hollywood theater movie, but it's very attractive.

The last "Adventures of the Center of the Earth" is still fresh in the industry.

"Youth romance movie? No matter what movie, whether it is released or not, I just want to know whether it is true or not."

“Not contact…”

...

Ning Hao received many calls asking about Lin Nan’s news later in the filming of "Racing".

"Ask me? You've found the wrong person. You should ask... ask him."

Ning Hao almost said he was showing his mouth.

Several groups that often cooperate with each other are contacting Lin Nan, and even Huayi and Bona have this idea.

Liu Yifei is either staying at home or going to Beijing Electronics to listen to classes these days, which is very fulfilling.

"Xixi, Lin Nan really invested in that movie? I heard that the box office of 70 million US dollars in seven days."

Shu Chang asked with a sigh.

"Why do you have so many questions?" Liu Yifei glanced at her best friend.

"I'm just curious. If anyone knows now, it must be you."

"It's really OK."

Liu Yifei pinched a biscuit and stuffed it into Shu Chang's mouth.

"Uh-huh……"

After Shu Chang swallowed, he smiled wickedly, "Congratulations, your Lin Nan is very good at making money, hehe."

"What are you talking nonsense?"

Liu Yifei got up instantly, blushed and twisted into a ball with Shu Chang.

"Oh, don't pinch..."

...

Lin Nan stared at the phone on the table that was still texting, smiled helplessly, and then turned off the phone.

Fortunately, Tom didn't say much, he is just rumored to be one of the investors.

"Yesterday, another financial institution asked whether the company needs a loan or financing..."

"These people don't have to pay attention to them, and the company won't involve these things."

Whether it was what Tom said or the news sent from China, Lin Nan didn't care much about it now.

Nolan said that he had been seriously considering it for two days, but it had been several days, and there was still no news.

Could it be that it is really done by yourself?

The knock sounded and Tom went to open the door.

"Lin, Director Christopher is here."

"Okay, please come in, yes, I'll do it myself." Lin Nan stood up and walked out.

Christopher Nolan was dressed very casually today, which was completely different from the suit and tie she had when she attended the "Shut Island" project ceremony that day, and her temperament was more elegant.

"Lin, I'm sorry for delaying you for so long. After I finished filming the movie, I rushed over immediately.

I like that script very much and I am willing to shoot it. It's just a problem."

“What’s the problem?”

"Can I wait until the second half of next year? I have to hurry up and settle the late stage of "Dark Knight" in the first half of the year. This was signed before.

In addition, you should have a rough estimate of the script you write, and if you want to shoot it, the cost will definitely not be low.

And it requires actors who have both acting skills and box office appeal, otherwise the script will be ruined."

What else does Lin Nan think of it? These are trivial matters.

“It’s OK to wait until the second half of next year.

The cost is high, just find a few more investors. What I care most about is the actors, director Nolan. You should have thought about casting these days, right?"

Lin Nan asked tentatively.

"Haha, I thought. I think Leon is good, it's a bit expensive, but if he sees the script, he thinks that these problems will be easy to solve.

He has joined the group recently, and I will go to him after a while."
"Then please direct this matter, Nolan, I guess you can make this fantastic movie.
When the starring is negotiated, let's talk about investment..."
"Thank you for your compliment. I will treat it carefully, like filming "Deadly Magic"."
"Please keep it confidential before the project is established."
"Of course."
...
Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief when sending the person out of the company.
After that, you only need to wait for Nolan's news.
