Entertainment: God-level director

Chapter 154

After the premiere, it was already past five o'clock.

Lin Ran had dinner with Tian Xiaopeng and others, and discussed the subsequent promotion of"The Return of the Great Sage" before going back.

At this time, with the promotion of major investors behind it, topics related to the premiere of"The Return of the Great Sage" have become hot searches.

"This afternoon I watched the premiere of"Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", a domestic animated film directed by Tian Xiaopeng after 8 years of hard work. I was very shocked!

I’m very happy that we finally have such an excellent domestic animated film!

If you believe in my aesthetics, then please go to the cinema during the Spring Festival to support it. I believe you will not regret it after watching it."

Lin Ran also posted a recommendation post using his own Weibo account.

His current Weibo fans only have more than 8 million, which is much less than the 50 to 60 million followers of those little fresh meat..

But Lin Ran’s Weibo fans are almost all real and have never bought fans.

Therefore, in terms of real influence, Lin Ran’s Weibo is much bigger than those little fresh fans.

"Believe me, Brother Ran, I’ll book a ticket right away"

"Since Brother Ran has said so, I definitely support it."

"I was lucky enough to go to the premiere. Brother Ran’s words are not exaggerated. You will definitely not regret it after watching it!"

"Hahaha, Brother Ran, who cherishes feathers so much, has praised this Haikou. The Return of the Great Sage will definitely look good."

"Well, since Lin Ran recommended it so hard, I originally wanted to order Lord Xing’s Journey to the West to Conquer the Demons, but now I’ll change it to The Return of the Great Sage."

"……"

Fans saw Lin Ran's recommendation on Weibo, and many fans immediately bought tickets for"The Return of the Great Sage".

Lin Ran's Weibo was later forwarded by many media and self-media, and was seen by more netizens.

Some netizens who were originally hesitant about which movie to watch during the Spring Festival directly booked movie tickets for"The Return of the Monkey King".

There is no way, Lin Ran's current releases"The Genius","Charlotte" and"The Wandering Earth" have all achieved good box office and word-of-mouth success, without missing a beat.

Now that Lin Ran dares to use his reputation to boast about Haikou, the quality of"The Return of the Great Sage" will definitely be good.

Therefore, after Lin Ran recommended it on Weibo, the pre-sale box office of"The Return of the Great Sage" surged by more than 20 million in just over an hour!

This shows how powerful Lin Ran’s box office appeal is now!

It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Ran's box office appeal is already No. 1 in the country, and no one can surpass him.

But even so,"The Return of the Great Sage" does not have a scheduling advantage during the Spring Festival.

By now, the Spring Festival period has become the largest period in China.

Any ambitious film will be released during the Spring Festival.

This year's Spring Festival releases include Jackie Chan's"Kung Fu Yoga", Xingye's"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons";

Han Han's"Riding the Wind and Waves", and Wang Baoqiang's"Havoc in Tianzhu".

Of course, in the end, there is of course"The Bear", which is released every Spring Festival.

Except for"Bear Bears", these five newly released movies during the Spring Festival are all very competitive.

In particular, Xingye's"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and"Havoc in Tianzhu" directed and starred by Wang Baoqiang are the most popular among theaters, and the current previews have reached 30% and 25% respectively.

As for"Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", it only has a pitiful 7.7%, which is even worse than the 8% of"The Bear".

Fortunately, this is just a preview, not the final first day of filming.

There are still almost ten days until the first day of the Lunar New Year. As long as a certain movie becomes more popular in the market during these ten days, theater chains will naturally increase their film schedules.

Therefore, after Lin Ran's suggestion, Tian Xiaopeng decided to screen"The Return of the Great Sage" in advance during these 10 days.

There are about 1,000 shows scheduled across the country every day, and a total of 10,000 shows in 10 days. Even if only 50 people watch one show on average, by the time it is officially released, the number of viewers who have watched it is as high as 500,000.

So many people have watched it, which is enough to create a reputation for"The Return of the Great Sage".

In fact, with the large-scale screenings, the reputation of"The Return of the Great Sage" quickly spread across the Internet.

In response to the question related to"The Return of the Great Sage", hundreds of netizens who watched the premiere have already answered.

Moreover, these answers are almost full of praise and recommendations for watching movies.

At Station B, many film and television UP owners also spontaneously made videos to make money after watching the premiere.

With such good word-of-mouth response, theaters will naturally not remain indifferent. The first-day screening of"The Return of the Great Sage" has risen directly from 7.7% to 11%, which is only slightly lower than the 12.5% of"Riding the Wind and Waves".

Seeing this, Lin Ran stopped paying attention to"The Return of the Great Sage".

Seeing that the first day of the new year was coming in less than five days, Ranmeng Pictures held its annual meeting as usual.

Compared with last year, this year’s annual meeting was even grander.

There is no way. Although the company only launched two projects this year,"The Wandering Earth" and"Nirvana in Fire", its net profit was as high as 1.5 billion.

This net profit is even much higher than that of China Film.

The financial report released by China Film Group showed that this year’s annual revenue was 8.988 billion, but the net profit was only 965 million.

Even China Film Group is like this, not to mention private film and television companies such as Bona, Huayi, and Enlight.

So now Ranmeng Pictures has actually become the most profitable film and television company in China.

If this financial report is released, it will definitely make colleagues envious and jealous.

Lin Ran has never been a stingy person, so both the prizes at the annual meeting and the year-end bonus were better than last year.

Of course, since Lin Ran became the spokesperson of Warwick mobile phones, the prize at the annual meeting changed from last year’s Apple phone to Warwick’s flagship phone.

After the annual meeting, Lin Ran announced that he would take a three-day holiday in advance, giving his employees 10 days of leave.

After the media reported that Lin Ran once again became the boss of someone else's family, countless netizens envied the employees of Ranmeng Pictures.
