Chapter 346: Breaking 200 Million, Remember to Criticize Director Lin
Liu Dehua and Zhou Xun are both professional actors, and rarely have NGs when acting together.
Lin Nan gave some of the literary scenes to Guo Fan.
He and Liu Yifei divided some of their energy to pay attention to the matter of "The Fault in Our Stars".
August has just begun.
Among domestic films, only "The Fault in Our Stars" barely withstood the pressure of the final chapter of "Harry Potter", and the box office was very impressive.
26.8 million on the first day.
27.95 million on the second day.
29.03 million on the third day!
Just as the film industry had speculated before: The box office performance of "The Fault in Our Stars" is not like an art film at all, it is stronger than most commercial films.
"The reporters haven't left yet?"
Zhou Xun glanced at the crowd outside the studio and asked.
Liu Yifei was being interviewed outside, smiling and generous.
"It will probably take more than half an hour." Lin Nan chuckled and shook his head.
In the past, after the release of a movie, no matter how good the box office was, the media could hardly block Lin Nan.
But this time it was different. Everyone knew that he and Liu Yifei were on the crew of Passengers, so they all came over directly.
Miss Liu was in a very good mood these two days and volunteered to deal with the media reporters.
"But it's true that your movie Star Luck is too abnormal. It doesn't look like an art film at all!"
"Haha, thank you for the compliment."
While several actors were preparing for the next scene, Lin Nan looked at the movie information for a while. Star Luck firmly occupied the headlines.
"Huh? So fast?!"
Lin Nan saw that the new movie with a bright star had started filming.
"Time and Space Rescue? A low-cost ancient costume fantasy time travel..."
He remembered that New Mom Love Me Again started filming in early June. It's only been two months, and it's finished and a new movie has started filming?
Lin Nan also admired Lu Zheng's operation.
One movie after another, the subject matter span is so large, and there is no time to rest and settle in between.
Such a fast pace will not help Jing Tian, the leading actor, to improve his acting skills at all.
"It's still too hasty..." Lin Nan sighed.
The filming continued.
"Help me hide it, don't tell her that I accidentally made her wake up early..."
From one person to two people, the male protagonist played by Liu Dehua began to have spiritual support.
Gradually approaching, having a good impression, liking... and then began to worry and fear losing.
"Sir, as a highly intelligent bionic robot, my program instructions tell me that I can't do anything wrong."
Lei Jiayin's condition is getting better and better, and the freeze of his facial expressions is very appropriate.
"Then don't take the initiative to mention it. When the time is right, I will tell it myself..."
"Well, this can be done."
...
Lin Nan stared at the monitor seriously.
I don't know when, Liu Yifei ended the interview and came back happily.
She squeezed Lin Nan and sat on the chair together.
"The daily box office of "Star Luck" is very good, second only to "Harry Potter"."
Lin Nan smiled, probably because the media just said something nice.
The box office of "Star Luck" is very good, but Lin Nan knows that it is definitely not comparable to the daily box office of "Harry Potter" of 50 million.
However, these two movies together should have divided about 80% of the market.
You can imagine the survival environment of other movies, which is absolutely miserable.
"Cut!"
As Lin Nan finished speaking, nearly one-third of the scenes of this movie were finished.
"Xun brother, there are some scenes later, prepare in advance."
"Nothing to prepare, just come. It's not like you haven't filmed intimate scenes and bed scenes before, isn't there also in "Painted Skin"? "
Lin Nan kindly reminded Zhou Xun, but she despised him.
"Hua brother?"
"Of course I have no problem." Liu Dehua waved his hand and said with a smile.
…………
Ning Hao, this guy, really came here according to what Lin Nan said.
With a short haircut, a big gold chain and a gold ring, plus that appearance, he has the temperament of a big brother in society!
"Director Ning, are you here to guest star?"
Several actors looked at Ning Hao's look and asked in surprise.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sat on the side and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Yes, I thought about it, Lin Nan's idea is not bad.
The other guest actors all have the same look, but I can wear a gold chain, the effect of the film is definitely eye-catching!"
Ning Hao said it in a very realistic way, and it was indeed so.
"Then take Director Ning to change clothes and put on makeup. The positioning is: social idlers."
Lin Nan shouted to the logistics team, causing everyone to laugh.
…………
Originally, Lin Nan planned to finish filming "Passengers" in two months.
Now compared with the actual progress, he thinks he can try to finish it before the end of August, and at the latest in early September.
The daily box office of "Star Luck" in the first week was very stable.
On the fourth day, it reached 30 million and closed at 30.22 million.
On the fifth day, it was 29.1 million.
It was followed by two consecutive days of 28.5 million.
As a romantic art film, "Star Luck" has refreshed the box office record of domestic art films.
The media reported it very quickly.
"The Fault in Our Stars grossed over 200 million yuan in its first week. It surpassed The Hawthorn Tree and set a new record for domestic art films!"
"The Fault in Our Stars has become the most popular love movie in recent years..."
……
The news spread in the industry, attracting the attention of a large number of people in the industry, especially film companies.
In the past, literary and artistic films were never close to being blockbusters, but this time Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's film completely broke this unspoken rule.
Many literary film directors are thinking about whether they can replicate the box office performance of "The Star".
The final conclusion is very helpless. The plot is okay, but it is difficult to find a couple starring with box office appeal comparable to Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.
"Pure romance movie? I can't play it, haha..." Jiang Wen smiled and shook his head.
"This is good news, and it is good for the entire literary film market!"
Zhang Yimou spoke frankly during the interview.
…………
Lin Nan continues to work on the set of "Passengers".
"I won't be coming over for the next few days."
"Are there more announcements again?"
"Yes, many brands are urging us, and it's impossible to shirk them all."
Liu Yifei nodded, looking very troubled.
"Then go, it's not like the crew can't live without you, haha."
"Huh, I'm a producer.
However, it will only take two or three days, and I will be back soon..."
…………
During this period, only two films, "The Star" and "Harry Potter," were very popular in the film market.
But the TV drama market is different.
Three remakes of the four classics have been aired. Moreover, the ratings are not low and the topic remains high.
The film "Step by Step" co-produced by Tang Dynasty and Lin Nan Pictures has been widely publicized.
Cai Yinong contacted Yue Jun, hoping that Lin Nan Pictures could cooperate in promoting this drama.
Seeing this posture, Cai Yinong was determined to completely overshadow "Gong Lock Heart Jade".
Yue Jun came to the crew and talked to Lin Nan about this matter.
"It will premiere early next month? How does she want us to cooperate?"
Lin Nan Pictures accounts for 40% of the investment in this TV series, and they will definitely try their best to cooperate with the promotion.
"Haha, I still hope that Director Lin can come forward to stand up..."
"She is quite thoughtful. I am filming a movie here, why should I support a TV series? I didn't even go to the celebration party of "Painted Skin 2"!"
Lin Nan thought for a while, "I'll post it on Weibo to promote it. It should be enough."
Yue Jun definitely had no objection to Lin Nan's decision, so he turned around and informed the Tang people.
That afternoon, Lin Nan's Weibo was updated with a promotional poster for "Bu Bu Jing Xin".
The effect is obvious, and the media are forwarding and reporting on it.
…………
To be honest, Lin Nan admired Cai Yinong very much. A publicity plan has been used for so many years!
The poster for "Xuanyuan Sword" is also out.
Hu Ge and Tang Yan stopped talking.
Along with the poster of newcomer Nazha, there are two other versions of stills of Nuwa's descendants.
Namely, Liu Yifei’s Zhao Ling’er and Tang Yan’s Zixuan. Especially the stills of Liu Yifei, which have the largest number.
Lin Nan was very emotional. Although it was still the old strategy of the Tang Dynasty, it was effective!
Liu Yifei is now one of the top actresses, and "The Star" is in theaters again.
Tang Ren’s operation directly attracted a lot of attention and media coverage to the newcomer.
"Oh, it's all just cleverness. After comparison, it's probably a joke."
…………
Tony Leung Ka-fai arrived at the set of "Passengers" two days before the scheduled time.
For this kind of actor, Lin Nan is very relaxed.
As long as he arrives before his scene starts filming, it's fine because others can get into acting mode at any time.
"Liang Sheng, you arrived two days early, I won't give you extra pay, haha."
"No, just take care of food and housing. You have to be treated the same as Wa Zai." Liang Jiahui said with a chuckle.
Liu Dehua and others also gathered around and said hello one by one.
Lei Jiayin and Reba were both a little excited. This is another actor with superb acting skills!
When I was filming "The Thief" last time, the scenes from "Black Gold" often popped into Lin Nan's mind.
Now that the two of them were standing together, Lin Nan had that image in his mind again. Liang Jiahui's aura has indeed surpassed Andy Lau in terms of actors.
…
In the evening, Lin Nan sent a photo of the dinner party.
There were six people at a table, Lin Nan, Liang Jiahui, Liu Dehua, Zhou Xun, Lei Jiayin and Reba.
Caption: The crew of "Passengers."
Just one picture and one sentence immediately made the circle lively. A large number of actors and actresses left messages and liked it.
"Director Lin, have you lost the producer?"
"When you have a big dinner, don't you call it Yifei?"
"Where is Producer Liu? Why didn't you see her?"
…………
Some acquaintances decisively started teasing.
Even Liu Yifei came to join in the fun:
"I just went to participate in the brand's event and I didn't get lost. Why didn't you call me?"
"Maybe it's because I don't have any love anymore, haha..."
"Yifei, when you're done, remember to go to Tuilin to guide you. You have practiced!"
…………
This simple photo of a dinner party has an even more obvious promotional effect on Reba, a newcomer.
A large number of netizens are discussing this good-looking ethnic minority girl in the photo.
In terms of topicality, it completely surpassed Nazha in Tang Dynasty's "Xuanyuan Sword".
