That year Huayu

On the first day of the premiere of "The Promise", there was almost no negative news.

The next day, Zhang Yimou's "Riding Alone, Thousands of Miles" was released.

The two top directors in the country began to compete head-on, and the audience was excited.

On the crew of "Time Cruiser", during filming breaks, the actors were all discussing "The Promise" they watched yesterday.

"I don't know if ordinary viewers can understand it. Anyway, I don't think it's interesting."

Chen Minghao said without concealment.

Lin Nan took a stack of newspapers handed by the staff, which still smelled of ink.

"The audience can't understand it even if they don't see it. Doesn't that give you credibility?"

Lin Nan shook off the daily newspaper in his hand.

"Let me see."

Several leading actors gathered around.

Several newspapers were sorted out by everyone in an instant.

"Tsk, tsk, look how well said this is: every sentence seems to be full of philosophy, 'Shappy dialogue', one word: Silly! Four words: Mysterious! There is no climax, no touching, if there is touching, it is just touching. The main creator himself..., haha, I laughed so hard, does this city newspaper dare to write about it?"

Tian Yu patted his thigh and couldn't help laughing.

"The film critic wrote it euphemistically: It is grand and eye-catching, and you can see how hundreds of millions of dollars were burned. Although Director Chen is trying his best to pursue perfection, it is undeniable that the plot of "The Promise" is out of control. , the plot has no priority, and the performance is too exaggerated..."

When Yan Danchen read this paragraph, Lin Nan was stunned for a moment. Even the film critics couldn't help but complain? Logically speaking, these people should be standing relatively close to Lao Chen!

"What do ordinary viewers say? Is there any report?" Yan Danchen Zengli asked.

"Yes, they all said it was boring and empty. But I have memorized some funny lines, like: You ruined my chance to be a good person..."

Zhu Yawen laughed while reading, and most of the other staff members also went to watch the movie. They are originally engaged in this industry, and their judgment ability must be better than ordinary people. They all agree with these reports now.

…

China Film and Television, Han Sanping looked at the pile of newspapers on the table and the new negative voices on the Internet, feeling a little irritable.

Chen Hong just came to the group, hoping that China Film could come forward and interfere with the media's voice.

But no matter how this interferes, the reports of traditional print media and Internet media have never been so unified. They all looked down on and satirized "The Promise".

Print media is easy to handle, but how to manage the Internet, various post bars, blogs, can't handle it at all, and deleting posts can't keep up with the speed and quantity of others' posts.

Han Sanping's face was livid. You can guess how much public opinion affects the box office trend.

At the beginning, he defied public opinion and had China Film fully invest in "The Promise". As confident as he was at that time, he may face a lot of criticism now.

"How is the daily box office?" Han Sanping asked.

"Nearly 20 million, which is higher than the first day." The secretary said.

Han Sanping nodded lightly, "It's okay, you can go out."

The pre-roll ads for "The Promise" sold for a lot of money, and the chief sponsor Konka even spent an additional 30 million to help bundle and promote the film.

Even with the income from post-roll advertising, Han Sanping has no hope of repaying his investment. What about the 350 million investment, unless Lao Chen can really win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and make up for the box office honors.

"Senior Brother Chen, let's keep the shot just now and do it again."

"no problem."

Lin Nan continued the ending of the movie and refused the requests of several visiting media to interview him about his views on "The Promise". Isn't this digging a hole for himself?

There was a tacit collective silence among industry insiders this time. The media could not pry these people's mouths open at all. Only the majority of netizens and audiences happily imitated and ridiculed the lines in it.

Lin Nan stared at Zeng Li in the camera, killed the male one cleanly, dragged him to the deck, turned around and continued to look for the next target...

"Ka. Sister Li, take a break. It's quite hard to drag Senior Brother Chen along, hehe."

"Haha, it must be quite laborious." Tian Yu said with a smile.

Chen Minghao stood up and said, "Doesn't this show that the heroine is very skilled? Otherwise, why would a woman kill everyone else?"

"That makes sense."

Even Zeng Li smiled and agreed with Chen Minghao's words.

"Have a break, we don't lack time now." Lin Nan said kindly.

"The Promise" is still breaking box office records, and the single-day box office record has also been broken. I just don't know how much it can hit in the first weekend, but it will definitely be no problem to break the record.

On the other side, feedback from viewers of Zhang Yimou's "Ride Alone, Thousands of Miles" will be released soon.

…

Chen Kaige looked at the text message in front of him with a frosty look on his face.

For a director who also came from Nortel, the Academy showed little support for "The Promise" this time, or gave it a symbolic support, but it was not stingy in its praise for "A Thousand Miles Alone".

Many old professors from Nortel have spoken out, "This is Zhang Yimou's comeback. It doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with him making commercial films, but it means that this film has completely reached the heights that he has achieved in his previous literary films."

The hand holding the newspaper shook slightly, and veins bulged on the back of his hand.

"Yellow Earth", "King of Children", "Walking and Singing", "Farewell My Concubine"... Along the way, nothing but honor is honor. He is immersed in his family background and honor.

Chen Kaige suddenly put down the newspaper, "I spent three years and worked hard on this work. How can ordinary people understand..."

On the set, everyone looked at the data of "The Promise" in disbelief.

"I know it's a blockbuster, but its box office is too fierce. It took in 75 million in the first weekend and four days, and this is in the Mainland! Isn't the reputation so bad?"

"Director Lin, your first movie didn't have as much box office as others in two days, right? I remember?"

Tian Yu joked that he had become more familiar with each other during this period, and his jokes became more liberal.

"Haha, Director Lin, delete his scenes..."

Chen Minghao came up with an idea with a smile, and a group of people watched the excitement.

"Oh, I can't speak. I should be beaten."

Lin Nan smiled and shook his head, not paying attention. Others had accumulated twenty years of reputation in exchange for it. Although two or three days of bad reviews were widespread, they would not affect the overall box office trend. It is estimated that more will be needed. Ferment for two or three days.

"If you didn't go see it and just heard other people say that the new play directed by Kai Ge is terrible, would you believe it?"

Lin Nan asked.

Chen Minghao, Tian Yu and others reacted immediately and said with a smile: "I will definitely have to go to the cinema to see it and judge for myself where the credibility of the international director is."

"This is why the box office is still growing rapidly."

…

Across the ocean, the crew of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" completely used digital 3D technology to produce the film. In the huge green screen studio, the staff were busy. Liu Yifei completed the last segment in accordance with the director's requirements.

Tom is a qualified agent. When Liu Yifei joined the crew, he came to visit from time to time.

Working for Lin Nan is much less troublesome and labor-intensive than other businesses, and the rewards are high.

He had already thought about it. If Lin Nan decided to open a company or studio here, he would immediately go work for Lin Nan.

Lin Nan had specifically asked Tom to take good care of the oriental-faced girl in front of him. As smart as he was, he was already guessing the relationship between the two. It seemed that if they were not relatives, then they were lovers?

"Crystal, congratulations on wrapping up the project. Do you want to tell my boss the good news?"

Liu Yifei shook her head, "Tom, don't tell him."

Liu Yifei looked at the fat man in front of her with a smile, "Tom, I'm going back to the hotel. We'll see you again when we have the opportunity."

"Okay, Crystal, I have a hunch that you will become my boss lady."

"Tom, you talk a lot."

Ignoring the little girl's shyness, Tom continued: "As a friend, Crystal, I would like to kindly remind you that I have been in Hollywood for many years. There are too many coquettish bitches in the circle who will stare at those fat guys. Come to think of it. It's the same with you, but Lin Nan is too young, he's just very fat, you know what I mean?"

Tom had a good impression of the girl in front of him, so he couldn't help but talk a lot.

Liu Yifei nodded seriously, "Thank you, Tom."

"You're welcome, just ask him to give me a salary increase." Tom smiled.

"Then you have to tell him yourself." Liu Yifei smiled.

With worries on her mind, Liu Yifei returned to the backstage, where her mother and assistant were waiting for her.

After taking off their makeup and changing clothes, the three of them returned to the hotel.

I have been here for more than a month. I originally wanted to get used to the crew first, but in the end, the filming magically started in advance. Liu Yifei is on the line with the crew and the hotel every day. During her breaks, she will pay attention to domestic news.

"Mom, where are the passports?"

After washing herself, Liu Yifei looks young and beautiful, like an exquisite princess.

"Why are you asking about this? It's in the innermost box. By the way, the movie is almost finished filming, right?"

Mother Liu asked again. She had never asked her daughter about the progress of the crew. She also heard from the sporadic conversations among the staff that the movie was almost over.

Liu Yifei's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, "There are still a few days left."

"Oh, that's pretty quick. We can go back then."

…

The box office growth of "The Promise" slowed down rapidly amidst the criticism, from nearly 20 million in a single day to just over 10 million. The media's negative voices gradually became more and more negative, and they were no longer limited to audiences and netizens.

Han Sanping has really gotten angry these days, and there is no one to share the pressure. He was the one who strongly supported "The Promise" at the beginning, and even tyrannically allowed China Film to exclusively produce it, so that now only the China Film family is destined to bear the loss.

Someone has already raised this issue at the group meeting. Fortunately, making movies is a gamble, and he has also come up with many profitable projects. It is not difficult to get through the current level, but the huge holes have to be filled.

There are a lot of investments hosted by Han Sanping, and we have to count on these projects now.

"Go and ask about the progress of the film investments I have handled." Han Sanping ordered.

"Yes, Mr. Han."

…

Liu Xiaoli looked at the note on her daughter's table with a gloomy expression.

"Damn girl, your wings are stiff, you didn't even say hello, you just left a note..."

Suddenly remembering something, Liu's mother hurriedly opened the suitcase where her passport was stored. Sure enough, Liu Yifei took her passport.

After calming down a little, Mother Liu sat on the edge of the bed and smiled helplessly.

"I have grown up and have my own ideas. This character is really similar to when I was young. Just go and tell me. Will I disagree? You are still alone..."

As she spoke, Liu’s mother smiled unconsciously, knowing her mother is better than her!

Liu Xiaoli searched for her mobile phone number while arranging her assistant to buy a ticket.

For the leader: Haha, I’ll add more updates too!

Please order more! Asking for a monthly ticket!

Updated 16,000 today, no broken promise! Shamelessly asking for a reward! Thanks and bow.
