That year Huayu

The premiere is over.

That afternoon, a lot of live news was reported.

""Thieves" is a successful big-budget commercial film with a star-studded cast!"

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

…

Online coverage of the movie only accounts for half.

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 throughout the entertainment industry from the premiere of "Thieves".

What actor can have no ideas?

Everyone has ideas!

Since the evening, there has been an endless stream of people asking about it.

But all of them returned in vain, and no detailed information was obtained.

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

Three Weibo posts in a row.

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

…

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

There are many celebrities and actors in the industry who have left messages below, all of them support and repost.

There are many netizens making fun of it.

"The director's wife has spoken, let's reluctantly buy one more ticket..."

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

…

There were many people who couldn't sleep that night.

For movies like "Babel," a wolf is coming tomorrow.

Most of the actors were thinking about Lin Nan's "The Fault in Our Stars."

When will casting be cast for this movie?

Time comes on the 30th.

So far, as a literary film, "The Hawthorn Tree" has come to an end, with a box office revenue of 121 million.

This figure has broken the 114 million of "Mei Lanfang" and created a new record for domestic literary films.

As for "Bongtian Empire", after half a month of release, it has a box office of 220 million.

"Sword Rain" was cannon fodder, while "Fist of Fury" fell into the sea.

"Thieves" officially meets the audience and begins its theatrical run.

…

"Director Lin, don't you give me a chance? You know, artistic films are my strong point."

Zhou Xun, with his smoky voice, joked and acted coquettishly, which was... a bit interesting.

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

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

"The heroine already has someone..."

Zhou Xun is a smart man, and Lin Nan understood halfway through his words.

"Okay, Director Lin knows how to play. I guess the male protagonist must be You, right?

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

…………

On the first day "Thieves" was released, Lin Nan stayed in the company.

Actors one after another, many of them big names, came to ask about "The Fault in Our Stars".

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

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

Liu Dehua, Huang Xiaoming...

Those who don’t look good are too embarrassed to be interested in literary films.

Not many people have contact information for Lin Nan. Most of the actors or agents contact Yue Jun.

"Director Lin, my phone has not been disconnected from morning to now. The agency, the agent, the actor himself..."

Yue Jun took a moment to take a sip of water and complained.

"Has the script been sent?"

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

"Ah That's good."

A man and a woman are both terminally ill, but they love each other, support each other, and live a positive and sunny life every day.

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

He plans to start preparations for "The Fault in Our Stars" after "The Thief" is released.

Prepare carefully!

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

Because the former requires more emotion, energy, and spirit!

Especially this time, with Lin Nan and Liu Yifei playing the leading roles, he hoped it would be an unforgettable movie.

"When I get older, I can take it out and look at it. It will probably be a good memory, haha..."

…………

After returning home in the evening, Lin Nan began to care about the situation on the first day of the release of "Thieves".

"The attendance rate is very good. The media are saying it is no worse than the first day of "Earthquake" and the reviews are very good."

Ms. Liu reads scripts at home during the day and pays attention to the movie from time to time.

On the laptop, there are many photos taken from the theater, and it can be seen that there is a lot of traffic.

"Then wait until tomorrow morning and let's see how today's results are."

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

China Film and Wanda are investors, needless to say.

Huayi, Shanghai Film, Guangmao and other large companies are also watching, either as competitors or former partners.

The morning of the first day of National Day.

Lin Nan fell asleep and woke up naturally because he turned off his phone last night.

"It's 10 o'clock?"

The moment I turned on the phone, dozens of text messages poured in.

It's all the same message.

"The box office on the first day was 38.2 million..."

After shaking his newly awakened head, Lin Nan realized the meaning of this number.

"The current first-day box office record for a domestic film is 36.2 million, which comes from "Earthquake."

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

Lin Nan was already thinking about whether "Thieves" could defeat "Earthquake".

…………

The headlines of major portal websites have all been replaced by the first-day box office data of "Thieves".

Click-through rates soared.

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

"If the box office growth momentum continues unabated, Director Lin is very likely to regain the box office championship again..."

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

…………

It can be imagined that Han Sanping and Ye Ning must have smiled crookedly at this moment.

It's just the opposite here at Shangying.

"Only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname, he is just like a mountain eagle!"

When the secretary reported the data of "Thieves" to Ren Zhonglun, the usually elegant Ren finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Has been cursing for half an hour.

"We originally had a share in the investment in this movie."

This was the first time the secretary knew about this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"That mountain eagle said that there is only 130 million investment, and three companies are enough..."

Ren Zhonglun had a low voice and a frosty look on his face. It was obvious that he was very angry at the moment.

…

The number of drafts for "Thieves" surged instantly.

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

Starring actors such as Liu Dehua and Fan Bingbing also posted on Weibo one after another, and did not refuse interviews with reporters.

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

"Yesterday's daily box office of "The Empire of Heaven" was discounted by 20%..."

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

Before, I was thinking of guaranteeing a minimum of 300 million and sprinting to 400 million. Now it is hard to say whether it can reach 250 million.

"Let the propaganda department work harder. There is no reason to be low during the National Day..."

…

Even Lin Nan himself did not expect that the daily box office would be so strong on the second day of its release, which was also the first day of National Day!

"On the first day of the National Day holiday, "Thieves" reported 49 million, and the box office in two days exceeded 85 million!"

The film industry is in a state of complete excitement, and domestic films seem to have really entered a period of high box office...

“This year it’s ‘Earthquake’ first, and then ‘Thieves’.

Even if the former is watered down, it also shows something. The basics of the film market have risen. "

Jiang Wen was in a good mood. He felt that in comparison, the quality of his "Let the Bullets Fly" was not bad.

"Even if the threshold for watching movies is a little higher, 500 million can be considered, right?"

Jiang Wen nodded, feeling that his goal was reasonable.

…

The siphon effect of the film market has appeared again.

The National Day is a big period, but the box office of movies such as "The Empire" performed extremely weak after entering the National Day period.

A large number of viewers were attracted to "Thieves".

No. 2, 44.8 million;

No. 3, 44.2 million;

No. 4, 46.5 million;

…

…

"Did his family really occupy the entire National Day period?!"

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

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

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

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

Zhang Yimou's "The Hawthorn Tree", because it is a literary film, has not had such a big impact. Now it is 134 million.

It is estimated that they can earn around 10 million more before it is released. "

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

…………

Liu Yifei was holding her laptop and sitting cross-legged on the sofa. Her eyes were slightly red and she would take out a piece of paper from time to time.

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

Miss Liu’s level of professionalism is acceptable!

"If it doesn't work, why don't we stop watching? If you watch too much, you will only be the one who feels uncomfortable."

"No, these documentaries helped me a lot in The Fault in Our Stars.

It allows me to better immerse myself in the role of illness, pain, anxiety, as well as the fear and yearning for death, until..."

Halfway through her words, Miss Liu raised her head and looked at Lin Nan with red and swollen eyes, and said softly:

"Until I met you..."

At this moment, Lin Nan was shocked.

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

Now that the words have come to this, Lin Nan can't persuade her any more.

Liu Yifei is aggressive and wants to play her role to the best of her ability, which is a good thing.

"Then let me watch it with you."

"Well, sit down a little bit, I want to lean on you..."

…………

The National Day holiday is over in a blink of an eye.

In the movie market, all except "Thieves" were killed.

"In eight days of release, director Lin's film "The Thief" grossed RMB 355 million, sweeping the National Day schedule."

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

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

""Bongtian Empire" was released, and the total box office stopped at 242 million..."

It’s much more lively online.

"I paid for this ticket, not from my employer. This is the key point."

"What a beast. I'm curious how much assets Director Lin has now?"

…

Phone calls from Han Sanping, Ye Ning and others came in one after another.

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

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

Han Sanping was not modest at all, he laughed unbridled on the phone.

"By the way, I saw your copy of "The Fault in Our Stars" at the headquarters. I think it will be available by the middle of the month."

Lin Nan wanted to laugh a little when he heard this.

It's really a literary film, and Han Sanping doesn't like it. Don’t even ask if you can participate in the investment!

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

He is planning to make this movie together with Liu Yifei.
