That year Huayu

After "囧", "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" once again ignited the Spring Festival movies.

76.85 million on the first day and 83.4 million on the second day.

The whole film industry has once again experienced Zhou Xingchi's box office appeal with his unparalleled success. There is no solution!

Huayi also struck while the iron was hot and issued many new press releases to promote the film:

"Beyond "囧", go straight to "The Genius", and set a new box office record for Chinese-language movies!"

Production, distribution, theaters, all walks of life in the industry, many filmmakers and media are eagerly waiting for it.

Because the slogans and goals shouted by Huayi this time have a high probability of being realized. It depends on the subsequent box office trend and whether it can be maintained stably.

But they ignored one key point. This is the Spring Festival season of Enter the Dragon and Tiger, and Lin Nan Pictures' "Love in Seattle" is also waiting eagerly.

…

Teacher Six is ​​always the first to stand on the front line of "anti-Zhou Xingchi", and behind him is a large number of loyal fans and supporters of the original work.

But no matter how much trouble he made, how much he scolded him, how much he felt sad online and in front of the media.

Anyway, Hua Yi and Zhou Xingchi were all indifferent. It's like watching a monkey show, and it can add a lot of buzz to the movie.

At this time, "The 101st Proposal" by Huang Bo and Lin Chiling, and "Together" by Donnie Yen and Yang Ying, Chen Yanxi, and Ke Moumou were also released on the same day.

As for the release of "Love in Seattle" and "Perfect 2", we have to wait for two more days, until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day.

On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Nan drove to the set of "New Police Story 2013" and all the creative staff were there.

For the film and television industry, especially actors above the third tier, there is no such thing as a Spring Festival holiday.

After all, everyone is a high-income group. After filming, you can take a break anytime you want, for as long as you want.

To be honest, Lin Nan is a little disgusted with those actors, stars and entertainers who often complain on Weibo about how tired they are, how hard they are working, pretend to be pitiful, and complain about the difficulty of the film and television industry in order to gain media attention and fans' attention.

What to pretend to be? If you feel tired and afraid of hardship, you can change to a more relaxed career. Why not change it? You've been stuck in the film and television industry, wishing all the resources could come to you.

This kind of behavior is very mean.

Fortunately, the majority of actors in the industry are those who know what they are doing and never try to impress others.

"Welcome Director Lin to attend the film wrapping ceremony."

There were quite a lot of people in the hotel. In addition to the crew members, there were also many industry guests and a large number of media reporters. Of course, the few official people who came to the platform were low-key and conspicuous, and did not participate in social interactions.

"Happy New Year everyone, and congratulations on the film's completion."

Lin Nan walked into the crowd with a smile on his face and hugged Jackie Chan first.

"Director Lin, we will have two more drinks at the closing banquet later."

"Then I'll probably have to ask someone to drive me home and take me back." Lin Nan smiled.

"Brother Lin Nan, happy New Year." Jing Tian greeted with a smile.

""Village Evening" has made progress."

"Thank you, Brother Lin, for the compliment." Hearing this, the smile on Jing Tian's face grew wider.

Lin Nan invested 30 million in this movie, which is not a small amount.

And looking at the current situation, even if the theater will not be reserved when it is released to the public, they will definitely support it in terms of publicity.

Regardless of the reputation, the box office will definitely not be low. Because there is no need to worry about promotion and filming!

News about the closing party of "New Police Story 2013" and a group photo of Lin Nan and others soon appeared in the movie information, attracting a lot of attention.

…………

Online movie reviews have come out. The romance movie starring Donnie Yen, Yang Ying, Chen Yanxi and others is simply terrible and cannot be copied.

"Selling dog meat over sheep's heads! They say it's a bloody plot, a bloody plot, but to describe this movie as a bloody plot is an insult, because it has no plot at all..."

"Donnie Yen, the old cucumber is painted green, it's disgusting."

"An action star, who has no acting skills to begin with, wants to act in a romance movie and show off his acting skills? It's embarrassing as hell, just like Yang Ying..."

…

It is different from Huang Bo's other movie "The 101st Proposal" which had a box office of 20.63 million on the first day.

The media did not even give specific figures on the box office on the first day of "Together" starring Donnie Yen, but only made general reports:

"Donnie Yen, Yang Ying, Chen Yanxi and others starred in the movie "Together", and the box office on the first day was less than 100,000..."

What is this astonishing achievement?

You must know that the investment cost of this movie was 50 million. The box office on the first day was less than 100,000, which was not even a fraction of Zhen Zi's single film salary.

Especially at the end of the movie, there was a special subtitle thanking Guo Jingming at the end of the film, which made the very few viewers who watched the movie find it even more funny and disgusting.

Time flies and it’s Valentine’s Day.

"Love in Seattle" and "Perfect 2" starring Zhang Ziyi have also officially joined the Spring Festival war.

The most exciting thing is the fans and audiences, because they have more choices.

The main creators, including Xue Xiaolu, Yang Mi, Yu Hewei, are all posting on Weibo to mobilize the enthusiasm of movie fans.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei also did the same, posting on Weibo and advertising.

…

In the morning, Xue Xiaolu made a special call to Lin Nan, firstly to greet the New Year, and secondly to talk about the movie.

"To be honest, I had some ideas when I first wrote this script. If the results are good this time, I would like to make a second part in the future and make it into a series."

"When the first-day box office comes out tomorrow, we will have a rough idea. However, I believe in Sister Xue's ability."

"Hahaha, let me lend you the blessing of a great director. If the box office is really good, you will have to prepare the filming funds for my sequel in advance..."

"Sister Xue, you're welcome. I wish you all the best." Lin Nan responded with a smile.

Xue Xiaolu is different from Xu Zheng. For the movie "Love in Seattle", she not only received the director's salary, but also two points of the box office share.

After all, she has several jobs including directing, screenwriting, editing, etc., and is qualified to receive this kind of treatment.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan suddenly thought of something.

"The ratio between Guo Fan and Lu Yang needs to be changed appropriately. Well, just after I go to work during the Spring Festival."

…

A few days ago, "The Grandmaster" was successfully launched in the Mainland, with a total box office revenue of 290 million.

In the past, Hong Kong films usually held two celebration banquets in the Mainland and Hong Kong Island. This was also common practice.

But Wang Jiawei didn't do that this time.

"The Grandmaster" did not hold a celebration banquet in the mainland. Instead, he flew directly back to Hong Kong Island and held a banquet there with great fanfare and hardly invited his mainland counterparts.

This behavior and attitude made many people in the mainland film and television industry feel disgusted and wanted to scold them.

…

"It's Valentine's Day, do you want to go out for a walk?"

It was almost noon, Lin Nan responded to Liu Yifei's hint and took the initiative to speak.

She winked at Lin Nan countless times throughout the morning, and she was about to explode.

"Where are you going?"

Sure enough, Miss Liu responded immediately and looked excited.

"Forget about the movie, let's go watch a stage play. Then we'll have a big meal afterwards, the kind without candlelight." Lin Nan said jokingly.

"Well, okay, I'll do whatever you want."

Liu Yifei nodded with a smile.

As she spoke, she ran back to change clothes, while Lin Nan got up and went to the garage.

Before the Spring Festival, the company received some tickets for Happy Mahua, which happened to be used today and was not wasted.

Half an hour later, Liu Yifei without makeup got into Lin Nan's car.

"Mom, Lin Nan and I are eating out..."

…………

In 5 days, the box office revenue was 403 million. This is the record of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

There is no company in the production industry that is not envied. Everyone is jealous.

The charm of Zhou Xingchi is here, and it will always be a box office guarantee. The lead actor, Wen Zhang, is about to truly soar into the sky.

The first-day results of "Love in Seattle" also impressed many companies in the industry.

"Director Xue Xiaolu has achieved another great success. After "Love Is Not Blind", the new film "Love in Seattle" has a box office of 29.85 million on its first day. Yang Mi and Yu Hewei interpret the story of love and redemption..."

""Perfect 2" starring Zhang Ziyi, Wang Lihong, and Zheng Kai grossed 8.99 million on its first day, which was not ideal at the box office..."

…

Several Spring Festival movies have been released to the public.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is the strongest, followed by "Love in Seattle", then "The 101st Proposal"... "Village Evening", and the most rubbish one is "Together"!

But the most eye-catching one is "Love in Seattle".

Because the production cost of this movie is the lowest among these movies, only 30 million!

"Jiajia, 29.85 million, yes 29.85 million!"

Yang Mi shouted excitedly in her dressing room, which attracted the attention of the crew in the next room.

"Yes, 29.85 million. Mimi, the movie's reputation is very good, and the daily box office will continue to rise. We have made a profit!"

"It is calculated as 30 million on the first day. Even if the competition during the Spring Festival is fierce, it is very likely to reach 500 million!"

Speaking of this, Zeng Jia looked at Yang Mi even more excitedly and said affirmatively:

"Mimi, this movie will be your masterpiece..."

"A masterpiece? Yes, a masterpiece!"

Yang Mi's eyes were shining as she murmured these words. At this moment, she was really happy.

But the next moment, Yang Mi was a little confused as she thought of Shu Chang's Best Supporting Actress award at the Golden Horse.

"What if...well, there is no if."

Yang Mi quickly got rid of the unrealistic thoughts in her mind, leaving only the happy things in front of her.

The box office of "Love in Seattle" is very likely to reach 500 million. And, it’s her starring role!

…

Comedy-style stage plays are more attractive to the audience than serious dramas.

The day after Valentine's Day, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei had nothing to do and went to watch it again. This time it was a different show and different actors.

"We also have to thank Director Lin for licensing "Crazy Stone" to us, which gave us a very high-quality performance."

Yan Fei said with a smile, the person in front of him is the top film director and film and television company boss in China, and he is also a top director internationally.

"You're welcome. It's also a good thing that "Crazy Stone" has another way to perform."

After the performance, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were invited backstage.

At the end of 2004, Happy Mahua asked Lin Nan to buy the copyright of "Stone" and wanted to turn it into a stage play. He agreed at a low price and just treated it as a friend. We haven't had much communication over the years.

"Come, let me introduce to Director Lin the performers of this show, Ma Li and Shen Teng."

"Hello Director Lin, hello Producer Liu. I'm actor Shen Teng. It's an honor to meet you two."

The playful expression was exactly the same as on the stage just now.

"Hello Director Lin and Producer Liu, I am actress Ma Li and Shen Teng's partner."

This one looks very neat and tidy.

A man and a woman took the initiative to greet them and introduced themselves generously.

"I know, it's all in the news. You two went to the Spring Festival Gala together this year. Congratulations."

"You're so polite, it's all luck. But if Ma Li and I have the chance to be in your movie one day, we'll be really lucky."

"That's right, that's right."

Good guy, these two people's words are in harmony with each other. They work well together!

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

Yan Fei was also a little embarrassed by the manipulations of Shen Teng and Ma Li.
