Chapter 205 Release

The first day of National Day.

Massive audiences flocked to theaters.

Two years of production and a cost of 300 million.

The Olympics, God 7, space walks, plus news from the premiere of The Martian.

Fans are full of expectations for this movie.

Several producers are always paying attention to the news from the theater.

China Film, China Media, Wanda and Enlight have all concluded that this film will have the highest investment return in the past two years.

People from the Aerospace Technology Group even told Lin Nan that if he makes any movies about space or other planets in the future, he can continue to contact them.

"If they can make this promise, you can enjoy it secretly.

In the future, if you shoot this type of subject again, you won’t have to worry about the difficulties you encounter..."

Lin Nan understood this. But in the short term, he really won't touch this kind of movie again.

In the afternoon, reviews of "The Martian" appeared online.

"Fuck, I can't believe it. This is a movie made in China."

"I was confused at first and scolded Director Lin Nan for grandstanding."

"Same water..."

"This is a movie that cost 300 million yuan. Those other movies must be greedy for money..."

…

The reviews during the first day were overwhelmingly good, because the film critics were probably still writing.

Text messages and penguin messages kept coming in.

"Director Lin, "The Martian" is great."

Yan Danchen was busy working on the set, so he didn't go to the premiere. Now he went to the theater to watch it again.

Lin Nan's Penguin hasn't had a new member for a long time. The level 02 group is very lively, and everyone is talking about movies.

He peered at the screen silently and did not speak.

In the evening, as expected, negative comments appeared online.

"No one can entertain themselves in that kind of environment. The protagonist is just a botanist, not a psychiatrist."

"The script is a bit uneven, and the little popular science knowledge cannot support its survival at all..."

From Lin Nan's point of view, these people are not easy to find. After searching for a long time, the criticism was only so intense.

What does it mean? It shows that they can't find much fault, so they can only nitpick.

Just this little fault was quickly drowned in the comments of netizens.

In the industry, everyone is paying attention to the first-day box office of "The Martian", and many filmmakers waited until the early morning.

Someone from the China Film Distribution and Exhibition Company called Han Sanping in the middle of the night, which was the latter's request.

"Director Han, the box office is out on the first day..."

"How many?"

"33.42 million."

Han Sanping let out a long breath and said, "Yes, I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

"Dr. Han, you're so polite. It's all for work. Then I won't disturb your rest."

…………

Early the next morning, Lin Nan's phone kept ringing.

"The box office on the first day broke the record. Go and see it yourself."

Lin Nan looked at the news on the Internet.

The first-day box office data of "The Martian" is the headline no matter which portal it is on.

If we continue based on this data, there is absolutely no problem in surpassing "Red Cliff".

As for whether it can reach a new level, it depends on the audience. After all, domestic piracy is really rampant.

The next day, the box office was still 31 million.

28.4 million on the third day.

27.75 million on the fourth day

…

The seven-day National Day holiday is over.

Lin Nan obtained the summary data from China Film Group. "The Martian" grossed 196 million, once again setting a new first-week box office record.

""The Martian" will become a milestone in domestic science fiction films. It has already set the benchmark there..."

Although the bureau's words were to praise Lin Nan, they also made him angry.

Tian Zhuangzhuang called and asked Lin Nan to go back to school. The latter had a hunch that it was not a good thing.

When walking in Nortel, everyone he met congratulated him, whether they were teachers or students.

When he arrived at the Graduate School of Directing, Tian Zhuangzhuang was waiting for him in the office.

"Congratulations, great box office."

"Teacher, you are very polite. You called me here today. Is there something wrong?" Lin Nan asked after sitting down.

"There is something wrong. You will graduate in the first half of next year, and the school wants me to ask your opinion."

"What's your opinion?" Lin Nan was curious.

"Would you like to stay in school?"

After Tian Zhuangzhuang finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"Detention?"

Lin Nan had never thought about this and was a little at a loss for a while.

"To be honest, I really haven't thought about this. What can I do if I stay in school, be a teaching assistant?"

"How could the school let you, a director of Silver Bear and a leading commercial film director, be a teaching assistant?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang glanced at Lin Nan and continued in a low voice: "If you are willing to stay in school, you will become a professor in a few years. This is the original saying of the school."

"Teacher, let's forget it." Lin Nan sighed. He was a little resistant to this kind of thing from the bottom of his heart.

Tian Zhuangzhuang suddenly smiled.

"Hahaha, I guessed that you would refuse, and staying in school is indeed not suitable for you.

Let’s talk about another thing.

The school hopes that you will participate in this graduate student interview. A serious graduate student, not a master of arts. "

Lin Nan couldn't believe his ears, "Teacher, isn't this illegal?"

"No, your awards and results are completely qualified. This was approved by the school leaders at a meeting. I am only responsible for communicating with you."

"But my graduation drama hasn't started yet, so I may not be able to spare the time."

"Don't tell me you can't spare two days. After all, your movie should have been finished in February."

"Haha, two days is still possible.

Then you have to communicate with the acting department, don't bother me this year."

Lin Nan no longer refused, it was the last time anyway.

"Well, all of these are fine."

…………

When leaving Beijing Film Academy, Lin Nan was still a little emotional, the school was really calculating, rushing to squeeze him.

The box office of "The Martian" is still increasing by nearly 20 million per day.

All the film and television companies in the circle are looking at this side eagerly, Wanda and Guangguang are very prosperous recently.

"Director Lin, your salary has increased."

Someone in the company mentioned it, and Lin Nan paid attention to this matter.

In the industry, his director's salary has reached 20 million, the same level as Zhang Yimou.

As for whether anyone will really offer him this price, it's hard to say.

"This feels pretty good."

Yue Jun knocked on the door and came in.

"Director Lin, "The Hidden" will be finished next month, and a TV station has already made an offer."

"You go and make the connection."

"Also, this is the latest copyright purchase list, and Director Lin needs to sign this time."

Lin Nan raised his head and took a few pages of A4 paper and a financial statement from Yue Jun.

In an instant, Lin Nan's pupils focused.

Wow, all of them are big fish, all missed by Lin Nan, and there are all kinds of them.

"My Director Yue, your year-end bonus will be doubled this year."

"Haha, Director Lin, are you kidding?" Yue Jun laughed.

"No kidding, I'll give you a seven-digit car."

"Then I'd better discount it. I feel at ease putting it in my card."

Lin Nan smiled and shook his head. Yue Jun's personality is quite traditional, which is very rare.

On the financial statement, Lin Nan signed smoothly and handed it to Yue Jun.

"As soon as possible, don't make any mistakes."

"I can't make any mistakes. Many of the novels are very interested in our company, especially those science fiction novels..."

"How is Zhou Yi?" Lin Nan ignored Yue Jun's flattery.

"Still holding on, I guess they can last for a year at most."

"Well, keep in touch, their screenwriter team will keep an eye on it."

…………

The total box office of "The Martian" is getting higher and higher.

Some careful media noticed that several floors in Lin Nan's company's building were reserved and new signs were hung.

"Tiangong Color?"

The news that Lin Nan had established a new company spread very quickly, and it can be found on the official website, with a paid-in capital of 10 million.

"He really did what he said? Tiangong Color Visual Technology Co., Ltd."

"Will you accept investment?"

"People in Director Lin's company said that they don't accept external funds. But it seems that there are not many employees."

……

Lin Nan received calls from Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, and Wang Changtian one after another.

The meaning was similar, asking him if he could invest.

After all, everyone knows that this kind of company will burn a lot of money in the early stage, and they also have the mentality of building relationships.

"It's not necessary at the moment. When it really can't hold on, I will ask you."

Seeing Lin Nan's firm attitude, the few people didn't bother him any more, just saying that if there is a need, just talk.

The movie box office successfully exceeded 200 million and 250 million.

On the 16th of the month, the cumulative box office of "The Martian" exceeded 300 million.

The second director in the 300 million box office club in China was born.

Moreover, the daily growth of the box office of "The Martian" is still not low, and it remains at around 10 million, with great stamina.

When Feng Xiaogang saw this news in the "If You Are the One" crew, he also felt a little emotional.

"I wonder how much box office our movie can get by then?"

"This is a genre film that Director Feng is good at. Who doesn't know your appeal during the Lunar New Year period?

By then, you will definitely be in the 300 million club." Shu Qi complimented with a smile.

"Haha, well said, if it exceeds 300 million, let Director Feng give everyone red envelopes." Ge You joked.

"Send, if it reaches, I will definitely give it."

…………

"Ip Man", which Lin Nan collaborated with Ying Huang last year, was officially scheduled for mid-December.

Yang Shoucheng wanted to use Lin Nan's fame to promote it, after all, it was the latter's script.

"Director Lin, will it be convenient for Fang to take time to come to the premiere?"

"No, I may not be in the capital at that time.

After the matter of "The Martian" is settled, I have to start filming the graduation drama."

Yang Shoucheng is now very concerned about the performance of "Ip Man", which determines whether Ying Huang can continue to cooperate with Lin Nan.

When "The Martian" was released, especially the record of earning more than 100 million before it was released, Yang Shoucheng was very jealous. The Hong Kong entertainment circle has been discussing this matter recently.

As long as the cooperation is still there, there will be a chance to share a piece of the pie in the future. If the cooperation is broken, Ying Huang will really become a joke in the circle.

"Since Director Lin can't spare time, forget it. I wish Director Lin's graduation drama will be another award-winning film."

"Haha, it's not that easy. But I still have to say thank you, and borrow Director Yang's good words."

Lin Nan perfunctorily said a few words and hung up the phone.

The whole circle knew that he was going to shoot a graduation drama, and Yang Shoucheng couldn't have not heard about it.

As for the purpose of this call, it is very simple, just to maintain the relationship.
