Chapter 294 Sweeping the National Day

The premiere ends.

In the afternoon of the same day, a large number of live news were reported.

"The Thieves are full of stars and are a successful big-produced commercial film!"

"Director Lin's first group movie is extremely exciting and lives up to expectations..."

...

Only half of the online reports on movies.

What attracts the most attention is Lin Nan’s new film plan.

This is a literary film directed by Golden Lion!

The news quickly spread to the entire entertainment industry from the premiere of "The Thieves".

Which actor can have no ideas?

All have ideas!

From the evening, people inquired were endless.

But each of them returned in vain and could not get any detailed information.

Liu Yifei is in a good mood and is now advertising "Thieves".

Three Weibo posts in a row.

"Please support Director Lin's "The Thieves", thank you."

...

The content is simple and direct, but there are a lot of pictures, all of which are photos of her and cats and dogs, sunny and lazy.

There are many celebrities and actors in the circle who leave messages below, and they all support and forward them.

There are still many netizens joking.

"The director's wife is talking, let's just buy one more ticket..."

"Director Lin is not worthy of you, leave him..."

...

This night, there were many people who couldn't sleep.

For movies such as "Tongtian Empire", a wolf will enter tomorrow.

Most actors are thinking about Lin Nan's "The Fault in the Stars".

When will this movie be cast?

Time is on the 30th.

As of now, as a literary film, "Hawthorn Tree" has come to an end, with a box office of 121 million yuan.

This data has broken the 114 million yuan of "Mei Lanfang" and created a new record of domestic art films.

As for "Tongtian Empire", after half a month of release, the box office was 220 million.

"Sword Rain" is cannon fodder, and "Jingwu Fengyun" is a rock sinking into the sea.

"The Thieves" officially met with the audience and began to be released.

...

"Director Lin, don't you give me a chance? You know, art films are my strengths."

Zhou Xun's smoky voice was so funny that he was joking and... it was a bit interesting.

"Are you going to play a supporting role?" Lin Nan teased.

"Ah? Why is it a little supporting role? Sister, can't I play the leading role with my strength?"

"The heroine already has someone..."

Zhou Xun is a smart person. When Lin Nan said halfway, the other party understood.

"Okay, Director Lin is very good at playing. I guess the male protagonist must be a gangster, right?

Art films are indispensable for kissing scenes, hehe..."

…………

On the first day of the release of "The Thieves", Lin Nan stayed in the company.

One by one, many of them are big names, come to ask about "The Fault in the Star Fortune".

Fan Bingbing called in a gentle voice, and Li Bingbing's agent asked where Yue Jun had gone.

Even Zhang Ziyi wanted to invite Lin Nan for tea...

Liu Dehua, Huang Xiaoming...

Those who are not good-looking are embarrassed to make art films.

Not many people have Lin Nan’s contact information, and most actors or agents are contacted by Yue Jun.

"Director Lin, I have never stopped the phone since the morning. The agency, the agent, the actor himself..."

Yue Jun took the time to drink a sip of water and complained.

"Have the script been sent?"

"I sent someone to the bureau a week ago."

"Well, that's good."

A man and a woman are all terminally ill, but they love each other, support each other, and live every day positively and sunnyly.

In Lin Nan's opinion, there is absolutely no problem in passing the review of this kind of subject.

He plans to start preparing for "The Fault in the Stars" after "The Thieves" is released.

Prepare with care!

Most of the time, making art films is not easier or even more tiring than making commercial films.

Because the former requires more emotions, energy and spirit!

Especially this time, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei personally played the male and female lead roles, and he hoped it would be an unforgettable movie.

"When I get old, I can still take it out and see it. It should be a wonderful memory, haha..."

…………

When he returned home in the evening, Lin Nan began to care about the release of "The Thieves" on the first day.

"The attendance rate is very good. The media said it is not worse than the first day of "The Earthquake", and the reviews are all very good."

Miss Liu reads scripts at home during the day and pays attention to movies from time to time.

There are many photos taken from the theater on the laptop, which shows that the traffic is very high.

"Then let's wait tomorrow morning and let's see how today's performance is."

Lin Nan is not the only one waiting for the data of "Thieves".

China Film and Wanda are investors, so there is no need to say much.

Large companies such as Huayi, Shangying, and Light are also staring at each other, either their opponents or former partners.

The first morning of National Day.

Lin Nan woke up naturally after sleeping because he turned off his phone last night.

“It’s 10 o’clock?”

After turning on the computer, dozens of text messages rushed in.

It's all the same message.

"The first day's box office is 38.2 million..."

Shaking his head that had just woken up, Lin Nan reacted to the meaning of this number.

"The current first-day box office record is 36.2 million, from "The Great Earthquake."

This is still the data on September 30, and the daily box office during the National Day holiday will only be higher.

Lin Nan is already thinking about whether "The Thieves" can kill "The Great Earthquake" on the horse.

…………

The headlines of major portals have all been replaced with the first-day box office data of "Thieves".

The click-through rate soared.

"The Thieves regained the first-day box office record for director Lin Nan!"

"If the box office growth momentum remains unabated, Director Lin has a great possibility to win the box office championship again..."

"Director Feng's record can only last for two months?"

…………

It can be imagined that Han Sanping and Ye Ning must have smiled and said something wrong at this time.

The opposite is true for the Shangying side.

"Only the wrong name is given, no wrong nickname is called, he is just a mountain eagle!"

When the secretary reported the data of "The Thieves" to Ren Zhonglun, Ren Dong, who was usually elegant, could not help it.

I've been cursing for half an hour.

"We were the investment in this movie."

This is the first time the secretary knows about this and doesn't know what to say for a moment.

"It's the mountain eagle that said it only had an investment of 130 million yuan, and three companies were enough..."

Ren Zhonglun was in a low voice and frosty face. It was obvious that he was very angry at this moment.

...

The press release of "The Thieves" instantly increased.

China Film and Wanda took the initiative to increase publicity efforts.

Starring Liu Dehua, Fan Bingbing and others, they also posted one by one on Weibo, and they refused to reject interviews from reporters.

This time, "The Thieves" is really likely to surpass "The Great Earthquake" and become the new box office champion.

"The Emperor of Tongtian was 20% off yesterday's daily box office..."

Wang Zhonglei supported his forehead with one hand, feeling powerless.

I had thought about guaranteeing a minimum of 300 million and sprinting 400 million. It is hard to say whether I can reach 250 million now.

"Let the publicity department work harder. During the National Day, there is no reason to be low..."

...

Even Lin Nan himself did not expect that the box office on the second day of the release, that is, the first day of National Day, would be so powerful!

"On the first day of the National Day holiday, "Thieves" closed 49 million, with a box office of more than 85 million in two days!"

The film industry is completely in full swing, and domestic movies seem to have entered a period of high box office...

"This year comes first "The Great Earthquake" and then "The Thieves".

Even if the former has injected water, this also shows that the basic market of the film market has risen."

Jiang Wen was in a good mood. He felt that in comparison, his "Let the Bullets Fly" was also of good quality.

"Even if the threshold for watching movies is a little higher, you can always think about 500 million, right?"

Jiang Wen nodded, feeling that his goal was reasonable.

...

The siphon effect in the film market has appeared again.

National Day is a big schedule, but the box office of movies such as "Tongtian Empire" has been extremely weak after entering the National Day holiday.

A large number of viewers were attracted by "The Thieves".

No. 2, 44.8 million;

No. 3, 44.2 million;

No. 4, 46.5 million;

...

...

"Is it really allowed his family to occupy the entire National Day holiday?!"

Wang Zhongjun said sternly with a dark face, and Wang Zhonglei, Xu Ke and several senior executives sat in front of him.

A group of people seemed to have completely forgotten the scene when "The Great Earthquake" was released in July.

"How much is the box office now?" After a long time, Wang Zhongjun asked.

"The Empire of Tongtian is stuck at 232 million and can't move anymore...

Because Zhang Yimou's "Hawthorn Tree" is an art film, the influence is not that big, and it is now 134 million.

I guess they can get another ten million before the release.”

The words of the marketing department head made everyone in the office feel even more uncomfortable.

…………

Liu Yifei held her laptop and sat cross-legged on the sofa, her eyes slightly red, and she occasionally pulled a piece of paper.

Lin Nan went up to watch it. It was a documentary about terminal illness...

Miss Liu’s level of professionalism is OK!

"If it really doesn't work, let's not watch it anymore? If you watch it too much, you will be the only one who feels uncomfortable."

"No, these documentaries have been very helpful to me in "The Fault in the Stars".

It allows me to better be in the role, disease, pain, anxiety, and fear and yearning for death until…”

Halfway through, Miss Liu looked up, her eyes swollen and looked at Lin Nan, and said softly:

"Until I meet you..."

At this moment, Lin Nan was shocked.

He wanted to ask Miss Liu, are you talking about in the script or in reality, and you are inexplicably moved...

After all this, Lin Nan was not willing to persuade him anymore.

Liu Yifei is enterprising and wants to play a role well to the greatest extent, which is a good thing.

"Then I'll watch with you."

"Well, sit here a little, I'll lean on you..."

…………

The National Day holiday ends in a blink of an eye.

In the film market, all except "The Thieves" were killed.

"In 8 days of release, Director Lin's movie "The Thieves" collected 355 million yuan, sweeping the National Day holiday."

"Director Lin Nan will have a great chance to get back the box office record of the domestic movies lost two months ago!"

"The Hawthorn Tree" was released, with a total box office of 144 million..."

"The Empire of Tongtian" was released, with a total box office of 242 million..."

The internet is much more lively.

"I bought this ticket with money, not issued by the unit, this is the point."

"It's like a beast. I'm very curious about how many assets Director Lin has now?"

...

Han Sanping, Ye Ning and others called in one by one.

There are only three investors in this movie. Not to mention the box office in South Korea, it has already made a profit in the current domestic 8-day data.

"Lin Nan, we're going to make a lot of money this time, haha..."

Han Sanping was not humble at all and laughed unscrupulously on the phone.

"By the way, I saw your "The Fault in the Stars" at the General Administration. I guess you will be able to come down in the middle of the month."

Lin Nan wanted to laugh when he heard this.

It's really an art film, and Han Sanping doesn't like it. He doesn't even ask if he can participate in the investment!

Of course, Lin Nan would not accept investment, just like rejecting Ye Ning on the phone just now.

He is going to do this movie with Liu Yifei.
