That year Huayu

Chapter 956 Lin Nan, do you want to... earn some money at the box office?

The premiere of Bad Monkey's "The Battle of the Nian Beasts" could not be described as "shabby". It was really compared to the premiere of "Macau 3" next door and turned into a mess.

But who knows, the latter is a film jointly produced by China Star and Bona, and it has a gathering of big names. Naturally, there are countless stars and artists from Hong Kong and mainland China who support it.

In addition, Liu Dehua led Zhang Xueyou and Zhang Jiahui to sing a cappella "Tuen'er" in front of many media; good guys, this is the entertainment headlines and hot searches on the entire Internet!

Near noon, Lin Nan received a call from Ning Hao. This couple will not go back to their hometown on New Year's Eve and have to worry about "The Battle of the Nian Beasts".

"I originally thought you were calling to wish me New Year's greetings, but then I thought, even if it's New Year's greetings, I have to wait until the morning after tomorrow? I've been doing this for a long time, and you're here to complain to me!"

"It's been so many years since "Incense" that I've almost forgotten what it feels like to lose money on a movie. This time, I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble."

Although there was laughter in Ning Hao's words, there was clearly a negative tone in his tone. It was a bit noisy, obviously the premiere luncheon wasn't over yet.

"Oh, then I can only wish you good luck. We are also competitors for 8 days. Don't worry, we won't show mercy. Haha..."

"Oh, my uncle, you are so mouthy. I just heard them say that you and Yifei went to Xiying's dinner yesterday?

It’s Chinese New Year, is this a homecoming for you two? Or is there some shady ‘dealing’ with Xiying? "

Lin Nan was speechless when he heard this. It spread so quickly!

"Xiying, as a state-owned giant in the industry in my hometown and an acquaintance who has worked with me, invites me and Yifei to have a meal. Isn't this normal? You people are gossiping every day..."

While Lin Nan and Ning Hao were chatting, many big names in the industry were indeed paying attention to the news just reported today that he and Liu Yifei went to the Xiying Dinner yesterday.

"Based on what I know about Xiying, now that I have caught Lin Nan, why don't I just 'tell him because of my fellow countrymen's feelings and move him because of my fellow countrymen's poverty' and try my best to squeeze out the wool?"

La Peikang teased in a matter-of-fact tone.

"That's wrong. If you put it over at Xiying, it's called 'township love'."

Han Sanping corrected. He could tell that La Peikang looked down upon the current Xiying, and he probably had the same attitude towards Ren Zhonglun.

But no matter what, even after more than ten years of being lonely, Xiying is still the state-owned enterprise that exports the largest number of films and has won the largest number of international awards among the six major domestic film groups and the four major national film industry layout groups. It is far ahead. , both are number one!

To be able to maintain such a record after being lonely for more than ten years shows how abnormal Xiying was in those years and how rich his family was!

"The director of "The Founding of the Army", Liu Weiqiang from Hong Kong, is willing to take it. We plan to start preparations after the Spring Festival. After all, there are so many roles to be cast, and the actors have to coordinate their schedules until a few months after the Army Day. , which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.”

Han Sanping nodded. He came here yesterday to talk about the preparations for the movie. Unexpectedly, La Peikang decided on the director today:

"Let Liu Weiqiang be Liu Weiqiang. Lao Huang and I are only the chief planner, artistic director and producer, and we will not interfere in the group's decision of director."

Hearing what Han Sanping said, the smile on La Peikang's face inadvertently grew wider, and he said politely: "Dr. Han is the initiator of the 'Founding of the Nation Trilogy', so we can't be careless when it comes to the final work. "

As a "mountain eagle" for many years, how could he not see through the mentality of this successor; unlike his radical pioneering and domineering style when he was in office, La Peikang was simply arrogant, power-loving, conservative, but capable insufficient.

Just as Han Sanping was feeling emotional, he heard La Peikang talk about another thing:

"Recently I heard rumors that Ning Ying is preparing a huge film, and the investment amount is expected to be very high;

I even asked someone to communicate with me. Hey, guess what, Dong Han? They actually rejected our good intentions from China Film Group... They were guarding us like they were guarding against wolves..."

When Han Sanping heard this, he became even more speechless and a little contemptuous. Isn't Ning Ying just guarding against wolves?

Go to your brother's workplace to grab food? He had never done this before. He always starts projects, big projects, and works alone!

…………

The 5th ended in a hurry. On the 6th, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei couldn't help but go out for a walk again, and then they were "captured alive" and finally ran away.

On the 7th, time finally came to New Year’s Eve.

In the morning, Lin Nan drove the Mercedes-Benz SUV Liu Yifei bought for Lao Lintou and took her to have a meal with Yan Ni.

This is also the first time to have dinner with fellow people in my hometown in my hometown. Yan Ni had invited Lin Nan before during the Chinese New Year, but Lin Nan declined at that time;

This time Miss Liu was also there, and she had nothing to do, so the two of them readily agreed.

But when I came back, looking at the news reports online, it seemed that Zhang Yimou and Jing Tian were also back.

"Directed by Director Lin Nan and produced by Liu Yifei, the Lunar New Year blockbuster comedy, action, and detective blockbuster "Detective Chinatown" has a total box office revenue of 2.908 billion as of 6 o'clock this afternoon..."

"As of 6 p.m. today, the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Kung Fu Panda 3" has grossed a total box office of 760 million, and its daily box office has shown signs of decline."

"Starring Zhao Benshan, Yan Ni, Re Yiza and others, and with a large number of guest stars from the industry, the movie "Happy New Year" has been released for nearly seven days, and the total box office has unfortunately stopped at more than 32 million."

…

Although New Year's Eve and Spring Festival are two days next to each other, they are the dividing line between the Lunar New Year and the Lunar New Year.

The movie market will be very weak the day before, especially after noon. Most theaters will be almost empty, and many theaters will even be closed for holidays;

But on New Year’s Day more than ten hours later, the movie market was in a different mood;

The two are worlds apart, extremely extreme! All because of the traditional concept of Chinese people: on New Year’s Eve, families reunite and stay up late!

Liu Yifei was holding her mobile phone and making video calls with Liu Xiaoli, grandma and others;

Lin Nan would flash past her from time to time, showing his face and shaking her high ponytail. The atmosphere was very good for a while, with constant laughter and joking.

"Oh, that's annoying. Go and get busy. I'm waiting to eat the New Year's Eve dinner you made."

Liu Yifei pushed Lin Nan away with a groan, but she was actually urging Lin Nan to help the old Lintou; because she was ordered not to enter the kitchen, well, it was definitely not because of her clumsiness!

"Okay, Mom, you and Sissi can chat slowly while I go to help."

"Let Sissi wash the dishes..."

Lin Nan pretended not to hear what Liu Xiaoli said, and it would be useless if he did; Old Lin would not allow it, so in the end Lin Nan had to come!

It was around 7:40 in the evening, and a large table full of dishes was ready.

Lao Lintou has been learning continuously over the years. He has dabbled in many southern cuisines, maybe just for today? !

"Come on, you two can start first."

While greeting Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, Lao Lin went to turn on the TV;

Although he also thinks that the current Spring Festival Gala is very boring, but if there is no sound on New Year's Eve, it always feels incomplete, so just listen to the sound.

"Hey, that's right. I heard that there are six children in the Spring Festival Gala this year?"

Old Lin returned to his seat, looked at Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, and asked.

In his eyes, his son and daughter-in-law should know this. Well, there is nothing in the celebrity world that they don’t know!

"I guess not...but didn't I show up at the Liaoning Spring Festival Gala yesterday?"

Lin Nan knew that countless viewers were looking forward to seeing Teacher Six tonight, but...

"Why isn't it? Didn't you say there must be one before?" Old Lintou frowned and didn't understand.

"Because the Spring Festival Gala programs need to be reviewed many times, but until this afternoon I haven't heard any news that Teacher Six's program has been confirmed, and..."

Liu Yifei stopped mid-answer, biting her chopsticks and looked at Lin Nan.

"And what can I say about the current Spring Festival Gala? It is not for ordinary people.

The more people want to watch a program and the more they want to watch a celebrity, the less the review team will give you, and they may even deliberately review it more stringently, and finally reject it..."

Lin Nan said with a smile, very straightforward.

That group of people has completely broken away from the bottom, and their joys, sorrows, and joys are incompatible with each other. Even during the Spring Festival Gala, they want to give you lectures and lectures on their outlook on life and values...

"Hey... let's get started."

Old Lintou glanced at the Spring Festival Gala hosts who were laughing and talking on the TV screen, and then sighed... He had been looking forward to it for a long time, was it in vain?

When it came to actually eating, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei didn't eat much;

Because calls, text messages, and social messages from people in the circle are pouring in one after another without interruption. Among them was Jing Tian, ​​who had just returned. She sent blessing messages to both Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

On New Year's Day, the intermittent sound of firecrackers can be heard from four to five o'clock in the morning. Control in my hometown is still not as strict as in the capital!

Every time they were noisy and half asleep, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei would hold each other tight and, well, continue to sleep...

…

Once a year, the most "violent" time of the film market has arrived; at eight o'clock in the morning, the entire Internet is already in a state of boiling.

"Co-produced by Bona and China Star, directed by Wang Jing, starring Chow Run-fa, Andy Lau, Zhang Xueyou, Zhang Jiahui, Xiang Yiqiang, Xiang Zuo, Li Yuchun and others, the Spring Festival commercial blockbuster "Macau 3" is officially released, The film’s schedule today is 26.4%…”

"Co-produced by Xinghui, China Film, Shanghai Film, and Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Zhou Xingchi, starring Deng Chao, Zhang Yuqi, Lin Yun and others, the science fiction, comedy, and love movie "Mermaid" landed in theaters nationwide early this morning and won the Today’s highest film scheduling rate is 33.7%…”

"Starring Aaron Kwok, Gong Li, Feng Shaofeng, Xiao Shen Yang and others, the magical blockbuster "Journey to the West: The Monkey King Three Fights the Bone Demon"... ranks third in the film schedule, at 25.6%."

"Produced by Bad Monkey, the animated film "Nian Beast Wars" accounts for only 6.3% of the films scheduled today..."

…

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei got up and washed up, Director Lin took advantage of Miss Liu and received the New Year's red envelope from Lao Lintou.

While eating breakfast, the two of them browsed the news on the Internet;

Sure enough, in addition to the most popular movies during the Spring Festival, news about the Spring Festival Gala being scolded was also posted on the hot searches.

The reason is that it fooled audiences across the country!

The early stage of the hype was so high-profile, but Teacher Six did not appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. His program was indeed rejected by the review team.

"There are really only 8 days left, and my film schedule rate has suddenly been cut to 4%?!"

Looking at the filming schedule of "Detective Chinatown", Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh.

"8 days, 2.908 billion. Lin Nan, this..." Liu Yifei frowned slightly, hesitating but still didn't say anything.

"I know, it's very difficult to get 92 million in 8 days! Just leave it to fate."

Lin Nan said with narrowed eyes. Suddenly, the phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, even Liu Yifei was happy: "Is Mr. Wang here to pay New Year's greetings? Hehe..."

"Mr. Wang, Happy New Year." Lin Nan answered the phone and said in unison with Liu Yifei.

"Lin Nan, Yifei, Happy New Year.

It's a bit dangerous, Director Lin."

Wang Changtian's tone of the last sentence was a bit serious, and Lin Nan and Liu Yifei knew what he meant.

"Well, it's a bit dangerous."

"Lin Nan, do you want to... increase the box office?"

Hearing this, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other, and there was a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

"It's only been half a year since I publicly named Enlight Pictures, Mr. Wang. I have to save face."

This was Lin Nan's answer, and Liu Yifei's face was already filled with a smile of relief and support, very sweet and sunny.

Wang Changtian was silent. Among the several producers, only Guangguang needed the 3 billion figure the most, because Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, Shanghai Film and Wanda Pictures were not listed companies!

After a long time, Lao Wang sighed, a little disappointed: "Okay, although it looks very uncertain, it's not without a chance... Your face as a big director is the most important!"

"That's it, Mr. Wang. It's best not to think about this kind of thing in Lin Nan Pictures' movies."

"Got it, let's meet again when you get back..."

Just after hanging up the phone, before Lin Nan and Liu Yifei could complain about Wang Changtian, they saw Lao Lin coming back from a walk outside with his hands behind his back.

"It's only the first day of the Chinese New Year, and you two have work to do?"

"Dad, there are no fixed holidays in this industry. Today, Lin Nan's movie is also released." Liu Yifei smiled sweetly and explained.

"I know, I went to see it before, and called a lot of old friends, hehe..."

As he spoke, Old Lin came up to him, and his expression became more serious: "Have you two decided when to go back?"

Old Lin asked this question with great entanglement. On the one hand, he hoped that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei could stay at home for a few more days, and on the other hand, he thought that the two of them had jobs and were busy people, and they couldn't delay the time of the two children.

This is also the inner entanglement of most ordinary parents when facing their children during the Spring Festival every year.

"The eighth day of the first lunar month, that day is the 15th, and my movie happens to be released on that day.

After returning to the capital, I will deal with some trivial matters and rest for two days. After that, Yifei and I will go abroad to Hollywood, where we also have work."

Lin Nan said truthfully, and Liu Yifei nodded.

"The eighth day of the first lunar month? Including today, there are still... 7 days? Good, good eighth day of the first lunar month, good eighth day of the first lunar month..."

Old Lin seemed to be able to change his expression, and his smile appeared again. Then he started to prepare what to eat at noon, but breakfast was clearly still in front of him!

Liu Yifei shook her head gently at Lin Nan, smiling and mouthing: "As long as Dad is happy."

Lin Nan understood instantly that many times, Liu Yifei was much more attentive than him as a son;

Of course, Lin Nan was the same with his mother-in-law, who was more attentive than Liu Yifei as a daughter; after all, it was the mother-in-law who had to take care of the children in the future!
