That year Huayu

After two days of word-of-mouth fermentation for movies released on the Spring Festival, the daily box office finally saw significant changes on the third day.

""Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" once again set a new single-day box office record for domestic movies, with a daily revenue of 130 million. During the three days of its first weekend, the total box office was 345 million."

""Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" received 72.1 million on its third day, and the total box office in the first weekend reached 234 million."

""Macau" ranked third with its opening weekend box office data of 72.8 million; "The Story of the Ex" ranked 3rd with 12.02 million in three days...

"The Fairy Tale" sold 3.2 million on its first day and received negative reviews..."

The new data once again made the film industry feel incredible.

The daily box office of other films is declining, but "Taking Tiger Mountain" has made a comeback, and it has increased so much?

130 million!

This single-day box office gave many film companies in the industry a red eye.

"In three days, all the costs have been recouped. I heard that your pre-roll ads sold for 92.8 million?"

"Yes, Director Ren. It's just good luck."

Lin Nan took over what Ren Zhonglun said and said with a smile.

In front of the dinner table, Han Sanping, Wang Changtian, Ye Ning, and Guo Fan all had playful expressions on their faces, staring at the hands-free mobile phone in front of Lin Nan.

Lin Nan glanced at everyone speechlessly. Who would have thought that the boss of Shanghai Film Academy would actually come to the capital during the Spring Festival?

Fortunately, he didn't say that he wanted to meet Lin Nan now, or make an appointment for a meal or something, otherwise wouldn't it be awkward for a group of people to meet.

"When others say luck, it may really be luck, but you, Lin Nan, are definitely not lucky. Speaking of which, I have to scold Han Sanping again.

He is really not a son of a man, he will grab any advantage he sees, poach people, exploit corners, win over and corrupt, and do whatever he can to..."

Ren Zhonglun's voice just floated in the box, and everyone present tried their best to suppress their laughter and did not dare to make a sound.

Han Sanping wasn't angry either. Instead, he picked up the dishes with a proud smile on his face and ate happily.

Lin Nan smiled helplessly, regretting that she listened to Han Sanping and asked him to turn on the speakerphone.

If Ren Zhonglun knew that he had bad things to say about Han Sanping, and were heard by the parties involved and outsiders, the consequences would be disastrous, and social death would be certain!

"...Okay, let's not talk about the mountain eagle. As I said before, the door to Shangying will always be open to you..."

"Haha, thank you, Director Ren."

It wasn't until Lin Nan hung up the phone that the people in the box finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hahaha……"

"It's rare to hear Director Ren's complaints. He has deep resentment towards Director Han. Haha..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, did you hear something you shouldn't have heard today?"

"He has been in the magic city for a long time, and he is a typical example of 'refined egoism'.

You only think about the benefits every day and are unwilling to take risks. Now you are thinking about having sex for nothing? What are you dreaming about? "

Han Sanping drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp and commented unceremoniously.

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables. It's the Spring Festival. Everyone just came out to have dinner together today. I didn't hear anything..."

Wang Changtian was the first to move his chopsticks and said to everyone jokingly.

…

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has completely established its dominance in the Spring Festival stalls.

Many netizens are shouting and looking forward to another movie from the "husband and wife team", namely Liu Yifei's "Frozen".

There are only two days left for the latter to be released on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Liu Yifei has cooperated with Disney in the past few days and done a lot of publicity, and even used Lin Nan's Weibo to advertise.

There are many actors and stars in the circle who support and give face to the post. They like, repost and recommend it one after another.

The nomination list of the Hong Kong Film Awards every year perfectly explains the decline of the Hong Kong circle.

The same is true this year, with "The Grandmaster" almost sweeping all the important nominations.

But to be honest, this movie is not as good as imagined, it’s just that there is no one in Hong Kong.

The popularity of the mainland film market has caused almost no attention to this year's Hong Kong Island Film Awards.

Just the news that Zhang Ziyi was nominated for Best Actress caused a slight splash.

On the other hand, the death of "Yan Chixia" has made the mainland film and television circles and countless netizens feel regretful. Most of the screen characters he portrayed are classics.

Xiying Film and the crew of "The Legend of Swordsman" also sent special eulogies. This film is also the last big screen appearance of "Yan Chixia".

On the 4th, a large number of mainland filmmakers, actors and stars will fly to Germany, where the Berlin International Film Festival is about to open.

Lin Nan specially posted on Weibo, "I wish Director Ning a smooth trip to Berlin, and the crew of "No Man's Land" will win gold and silver!"

Ning Hao was also unambiguous. Before boarding the plane, he deliberately liked Lin Nan and joked:

"The color of the silver bear is not good-looking. When I bring the golden bear back, I can play with it for two days."

Now, many people in the circle are joking on Weibo, "Director Ning, is he letting his words go?"

Lin Nan was too lazy to continue talking to him, but contacted Tom, who was confident:

“Tomorrow morning I will set off with the Appian Way people.

In addition to the North American and Chinese markets, there are still film studios in many regions waiting for "The Invisible Guest". "

"Okay, then I'm looking forward to your final transaction price."

"Don't worry, Lin. This is an Oscar-nominated movie, and it will definitely make a lot of money!"

…

On the fourth day, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" dropped back to 110 million, and on the fifth day it dropped again to 95.5 million.

In contrast, the daily box office decline of "Havoc in Heaven" was not small, with receipts of 60.8 million and 55.45 million in the two days respectively.

The rest of the movies went downhill and were a complete mess.

Many Spring Festival movies have been criticized as bad movies.

But the movie that has been criticized the most by the industry is not "The Fairy Tale" but the big movie "Where Are We Going, Dad" that was not taken seriously by everyone before and relied purely on the popularity of variety shows to make money.

From beginning to end, it only took 5 days to shoot. It's more of a fan movie than a fan movie. It's just about putting a variety show on the big screen and cutting leeks!

Many filmmakers in the industry are verbally abusing Mango Channel. This is simply evil and insulting "movies".

The time has come on the 6th, and "Frozen" is officially released.

Lin Nan was woken up by Liu Yifei early in the morning and was also shocked by Miss Liu's actions.

She actually asked Hongxingwu to go to the theater and book a movie room? !

Then in the morning, Lin Nan followed Liu Yifei and Shu Chang to enjoy the feeling of having a private room. This time, she didn't have to worry about being recognized.

Not only that, the generous producer Liu also gave away a lot of movie tickets on his Weibo as a bonus for fans.

After spending a whole day eating, drinking, playing and having fun outside with the two girls, Lin Nan's Spring Festival holiday came to a successful end.

The next day, Lin Nan Film Building.

The company's management of the few artists is very loose, and they don't need to come to the company frequently.

Because everyone is either on the set or has their own life.

However, he hadn't seen Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin for a long time. Lin Nan was a little uncomfortable seeing these two people suddenly downstairs in the company.

"Director Lin, happy New Year."

There was nothing wrong with Zhang Yi as soon as he opened his mouth, but with that smile, the aura of an old fritter hit his face instantly.

Lei Jiayin was beside him, also smiling playfully.

"Rare visitors, you two, why are you back today?" Lin Nan joked.

"Director Lin, what you said is true. Why don't you go home now?"

Lei Jiayin grabbed it with a smile.

"A few years ago, Director Lu Yang notified his agent and asked us to report to the company today." Zhang Yi explained.

Lin Nan glanced in the direction of the third floor and reacted.

"Director Lin, what kind of play is this?"

""Xiu Chun Dao 2"."

Lin Nan didn't hide it either, Lu Yang would tell her later.

When they heard the words "Xiuchundao 2", their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Costume!"

"Martial Arts!"

"Well, let's go in."

Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin went to the third floor to meet Lu Yang.

Lin Nan went back to the office directly, where Yue Jun and Jiang Yuerou were already waiting.

"I have just sent people to send the scripts of "Xiuchundao 2" and "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" to the General Administration. We only need to wait for them to be reviewed before we can start casting."

Yue Jun was the first to speak, "It should be very lively at the General Administration today. Many companies are submitting scripts or finished films."

"Then leave the project of "Flower Thousand Bones" to me." Jiang Yuerou took over the job of the TV series.

Lin Nan nodded and thought of another thing.

"In the afternoon, I will also send "The Invisible Guest" to the film bureau. After it is reviewed, I can choose a schedule."

"OK."

…

Half an hour later, Lin Nan went to the third floor.

Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin sat there with their legs crossed, each holding a script, reading with gusto.

"This is too tragic, stabbing, being stabbed!"

"My character is still a lackey? A three-legged golden toad?"

The two of them were talking to each other.

"Feiyu suit and Xiuchundao, both of you have been appointed by default, so prepare well." Lin Nan walked in with a smile.

"Of course, this is the "Xiuchundao" series, and the first part has such a good reputation!"

Zhang Yi took over the conversation and immediately complimented him.

"Shu Chang is the female lead, so we will take good care of her on the set when the time comes."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Lu Yang smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin were obviously taken aback, but they reacted in a second: "No problem, I will definitely take good care of your sister."

…………

Disney's animated movies rarely have a bad reputation.

"Frozen" relied on the promotion of Lin Nan and "Taking Tiger Mountain" to achieve a first-day box office of 32 million in China.

This reminds the film industry of the joke Liu Yifei said when answering reporters' questions at the premiere of "Taking Tiger Mountain":

"Lin Nan and I join forces to 'dominate' the Spring Festival stalls together!"

Regardless of whether it "dominates" or not, it seems that the box office of this "Frozen" will not be low.

But when it comes to "dominating" the Lunar New Year period, no matter whether Lin Nan wants to join forces with Liu Yifei or not, he is already destined to dominate this Lunar New Year period.

"The commercial film "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom," directed by director Lin Nan and produced by Liu Yifei, grossed 738.4 million at the box office during its first week of release! It set a new box office record for domestic films in the first week."

""Havoc in Heaven" earned 450 million in its first week; "Macau" earned 220 million..."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's Weibo posts have been flooded with the words "Dominate the Lunar New Year Festival".

Miss Liu was holding her tablet and laughing so hard that she was rolling forward and backward on the sofa, with the word "happy" clearly hanging on her face!

"Hahaha, look at them..."

Lin Nan ignored Liu Yifei and Shu Chang and turned around to go to the garden. Several calls came in.

After the Spring Festival, the General Administration started work on the first day, and it was indeed packed with people from the industry.

The media has reported a lot of things "speciously", including Lin Nan Pictures.

"As "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is booming at the box office, Lin Nan Pictures has submitted a new script to the General Administration for review..."

"According to other industry insiders present, Lin Nan Pictures is suspected of submitting multiple scripts for review this time!"

…

The media has a quick tongue, and the ears within the circle are equally sharp.

Several partners called to inquire.

"Are you really going to start a new movie?"

"A TV series and a movie are all projects of the company, but the director of the movie is not me."

Lin Nan only said this sentence, and Wang Changtian understood it instantly. There are no other partners in the new movie. The director is either Lu Yang or Guo Fan.

"Okay then, I'll talk to you about the distribution when the time comes."

"Can."

The same words were said several times before everyone was dismissed.

It's just that Lin Nan didn't bother to care about the actors who were inquiring about the news. When the announcement comes, he will naturally start casting.

…

News from Berlin comes back to China every day.

It's nothing more than which unknown Chinese-language film was favored by how many film producers, and how many "high-priced copyrights" were sold.

But these news always only have gorgeous slogans without actual detailed content, which makes them seem exaggerated.

Lin Nan was counting the time while staring at the box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom".

As early as the end of the middle of this month or the beginning of the second half of this month, he can leave for Hollywood.

The Oscars ceremony is on the second day of March.

Of course, he also has to bring Liu Yifei with him.

In this industry, the annual art exam, which is the most solemn and more competitive than the college entrance exam, has begun.

Nortel is the leader this year, and Lin Nan has put out a lot of advertisements for the school.

Whether it is "The Invisible Guest" nominated for four Oscars or its box office revenue of US$230 million in North America so far.

These are now posted on the school's official website and are also included in the brochure.

Lin Nan originally thought that his "participation" would end here, until Liu Yifei waved to him.

"Come and see."

"What's the matter?"

Liu Yifei shook the tablet in her hand with a playful and excited look on her face. She felt like she was watching a show? See how lively Lin Nan is?

Lin Nan took it, glanced at the screen, his eyes widened, and then smiled helplessly.

"It's good. It was publicized without notifying me."

"Right now, everyone is talking about you on the Internet, and probably in the industry as well." Liu Yifei joked with a smile.

"Just say it, you will know sooner or later."

Lin Nan took another look at the headlines and couldn't help but shook his head, speechless.

"According to the relevant person in charge of the Film School: Lin Nan, an outstanding graduate of our school who graduated from the 2002 undergraduate directing department and the 2006 directing graduate school, will return to school to teach.

His honors and resume include but are not limited to:

A Golden Lion Award at the Venice International Film Festival, a Jury Prize at the Cannes International Film Festival, two Silver Bear Awards for Best Director at the Berlin International Film Festival, a Golden Horse Award for Best Director, and a box office record for domestic films..."
