Full-level Director

Chapter 128 The King of Commercial Movies

"Of course it's a great honor to participate in these two films. When I saw the script of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" for the first time, I said that I must go for an interview." Zhang Shan said with a smile.

"At that time, Director Lin was wearing a hat and sitting behind the desk, very low-key. I only knew he was the director by looking at the nameplate."

Lin Juan showed a smile, and recalled the situation at that time in his mind. Although the company gave him this project to try, it didn't actually invest much resources.

If the filming of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" fails, he probably has to take the more than 10 million yuan to film the movie.

It costs 20 million to make an anti-Japanese war movie these days.

"Then Director Lin was really strict on the set. There was a scene where I dragged Xiaotong to run. We ran more than 20 times. What was the most excessive? Director Lin said that he ran very well, but the next sentence He just does it all over again."

"I ran away stupidly at that time, you know." Zhang Shan said and gave Lin Juan an accusing look, Lin Juan smiled and said nothing.

Crepe Dragon and the others were laughing, and the host asked with great interest, "Then what then?"

"Then he patted Director Lin as a joke and told me that I couldn't stand the pain, what would I do if he asked me to make a blockbuster film in the future, I thought he was a liar at the time, you know." Zhang Shan glanced strangely. Lin tired.

Everyone laughed, and the host also smiled and asked, "What about now?"

"Now I'm convinced. I'm very sorry that Brother Peng Yan and I have talked in private, but the two of us can't guess how Director Lin plans to shoot next." Zhang Shan spread his hands.

"Don't you know what's going to happen next?"

"I don't know!" Zhang Shan replied with his eyes wide open, "Who knows, before I got the script, I didn't know that Director Lin was going to shoot "The Monkey King".

Liu Yan also nodded and said: "Yes, before I got the script, I didn't even know what role to play. The supporting role was still the heroine. Director Lin kept the plot very secret, and even told us not to reveal anything before the movie was released. .”

The crowd denounced for a while, but Lin Juan kept smiling and listening to them, and occasionally felt a little embarrassed, and the host asked, "Director Lin, why are you keeping it so secret? How can the general crew reveal a little plot to make fans look forward to it?" Bar?"

"Hmm..." Lin Juan thought for a while and said, "Because there are a lot of clues buried in it. For example, if movie fans know that the captain will appear in Dasheng before the movie is released, won't they have less expectations when watching the movie?"

Seeing them nodding, Lin Juan said with a smile again: "I prefer movie fans to find clues in the movie and explore the world by themselves. If too many spoilers are given, it will actually ruin their viewing experience."

Everyone couldn't help nodding, and there was a good reason for this.

Then everyone started chatting about the movie, the changes brought about by the movie, the mental journey, etc. Finally, Huang Jing said with a smile: "I'd like to ask Director Lin the last question."

"Well, you say."

"When you came last time, you said that making a movie is something you look forward to. From 'mobile phone director' to a big commercial director, are you satisfied now? Do you still have expectations?"

Lin Juan who asked this question frowned, and replied earnestly: "I think 'mobile phone director' and 'commercial director' are just labels given by the outside world, and have nothing to do with my liking for making movies.

When I do what I like, I naturally have expectations. Unless one day I don’t have any stories I want to shoot, otherwise I will always look forward to it and love it forever. "

This answer made the host applaud in admiration. At the same time, he sighed in his heart that there is a difference between people. When people shoot the stories they want to shoot, they become business leaders. The stories that someone wants to shoot are the stories that the market needs. Struggling in pain, it was still a bad film in the end.

Maybe this is genius.

"Thank you Director Lin, thank you for coming to our "Today's Movie" as a guest this time."

"Thanks."

...

"Hi, Master Xing." Lin Juan answered the phone with a smile.

"Where is the publicity, Director Lin?" Master Xing's voice sounded with a smile.

Three days have passed since the last interview, and the crew has been rushing to various promotional sites these days. At the same time, "Monkey King" has also begun to be screened abroad one after another, and the lead actor Zhang Shan and others will go abroad in the future.

But now, they are in Chuancheng.

"In Chuancheng, what's the matter, Master Xing, where are you?" Lin Juan said with a smile in the hotel room.

"I'm in Xiangjiang, when will you come to Xiangjiang?"

"Monkey King" Xiangjiang is also showing, so Lin Juan and the others are also going to go.

"It seems to be February 18th." Lin Juan said after thinking about it, the schedule was so dense that he didn't bother to remember it.

After Xiangjiang's publicity is over, he will also start preparing for the next movie.

"Okay, then on the 18th, I'll give you an address. If you come over, I'll introduce some friends to you. They are all from big actors. It's an honor for you." Master Xing said jokingly.

"Okay." Lin Juan nodded and thought, Master Xing's friend, a big actor?

Who?

I didn't talk too much, both of them are not good at words, they can chat for a long time when talking about movies, and if they chat about gossip...

emmm...

"Monkey King" eventually emerged victorious in the box-office battle, beating the rest of the pack every day.

"Alien" was weak in the late stage, and the daily box office fell first to the 100 million mark. As of the 18th, the cumulative box office has just reached 1.8 billion. The current film schedule has been further reduced, only 13%. The final total box office is expected It can only reach 23.4 billion, which is quite far from the 3 billion estimated online at the beginning.

"Escape from the Solar System" has a good reputation, and its current box office has reached 2.2 billion. Everyone's enthusiasm for excellent domestic sci-fi movies is still relatively high.

Although "Escape from the Solar System" still has many shortcomings, it should not be a problem if the total box office is estimated to reach 3 billion. At present, this movie and "Monkey King" have jointly accounted for 70% of the film schedule.

"Monkey King" is 40 percent, and "Escape from the Solar System" is 30 percent.

The situation has stabilized.

At this time, the cumulative box office of "The Monkey King" has reached 2.8 billion, and it is estimated that the total domestic box office is expected to hit 4 billion.

The battle of the gods during the Spring Festival ended with the victory of "Monkey King", and Lin Juan had already started to have a new title at this time.

King of Commercials!

His personal film box office has accumulated to 8.5 billion RMB! When "The Monkey King" is finished, it will definitely exceed 9 billion, surpassing Ang Lee to officially become the number one Chinese director! He is also the person who is closest to the title of tens of billions of directors.

Even with his help, Zhang Shan ranked among the top ten domestic male stars with a total box office of 5.2 billion as the leading actor in two movies.

Lin Juan has been on the front page of the newspaper for the past few days, suppressing the enthusiasm of all the other celebrities, and the stock price of Chenguang has also risen sharply. At present, the total market value of Chenguang has exceeded 50 billion, which is directly double that of two years ago.

However, it has recently been reported that Lin Juan's contract is about to expire, so the increase has started to slow down, and everyone is waiting for a news.

It was also on this day that Lin Juan boarded the flight to Xiangjiang.
