Chapter 415: Difficult April, Guerrilla Warfare

The Film Bureau has rarely released the domestic box office data rankings for the first quarter.

Except for "Pacific Rim", which is a co-production and topped the list with a box office of 1.42 billion yuan.

From the second to the fifth place, all are imported blockbusters such as "Mission Impossible 4", "John Carter", and "Sherlock 2".

In other words, of the top five box office rankings in the first quarter, imported films accounted for 4 and a half. And the box office share is more than 60%!

Looking at this detailed data, the production companies in the industry are a little depressed. Will it be like this throughout the year?

Although everyone's slogans are very loud when promoting, and they swear that their own movies are definitely not inferior to imported movies! But every time the box office data comes out, it is a slap in the face, there is no other result.

This year is another year of a surge in imported films, and many film companies have even less confidence and confidence.

…

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went to contribute to the box office of "Titanic 3D".

The theater was simply overcrowded, all of them came for this movie, and the attendance rate was very high.

The light in the screening room was very dim. Even so, the two girls next to her stared at Miss Liu for a long time, and finally one of them made a joke: You look like Liu Yifei!

When Lin Nan heard this, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud, but Liu Yifei was playful and smiled and replied: "Really? Everyone says so."

...

Most of the girls were immersed in the plot, occasionally sighing at the shock of the 3D effect, and the Titanic seemed to be sailing out of the screen...

Lin Nan was more impressed by the technology of Cameron's team.

You know, it is quite difficult to reset an old 2D movie into a 3D blockbuster that is not inferior to the real shot through technology, and the picture quality is so good. It is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly.

What's more, this visual effect is more shocking than many real-shot 3D movies now!

...

When the movie was about to end, Liu Yifei was exposed, and Lin Nan would definitely not be able to escape.

If it weren't for the help of the security guards, the two people almost couldn't walk out of the cinema and were surrounded.

A group of people who just finished watching a movie and have red eyes are surrounding you to take a photo. How weird is that scene?

The key is that Liu Yifei's eyes are also red. How can she be photogenic?

"You are still smiling. Everyone is infected by the plot, and you are the only one who is happy there."

Sitting on the co-pilot, Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Lin Nan and muttered.

She is not wearing makeup today. At this moment, her face is rosy and tender, which is very beautiful.

"I also want to be infected by the plot, but when I see Jack in the movie, I can't help but think of Leonardo in real life.

Where is the handsome guy? He is an uncle now, an uncle with a face full of stubble, very flowery! I heard recently that it seems that he has changed to an underwear model..."

Lin Nan said jokingly. After dealing with Leo at close range, he really couldn't look directly at "Titanic".

"Puchi, how can you say that about others.

However, he is indeed too fickle, you should take this as a warning! Otherwise, humph..."

…………

The next day, the first-day box office of "Titanic 3D" came out.

The entire production industry, especially the domestic films released in April, all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"After 15 years, "Titanic" was re-screened in 3D, and the first-day box office closed at 73.2 million!"

"Today's attendance rate is even better than yesterday, and major theaters will increase the screening rate simultaneously."

"Liu Yifei and Lin Nan appeared in the theater and were recognized by the audience when watching "Titanic", causing congestion in the theater..."

……

What does the first-day box office of 73.2 million and the one-sided praise mean?

This means that the box office potential of the 3D version of "Titanic" will run through the entire April, and if it can be postponed, it will also be in May.

The domestic films that have received attention, such as "The Heist", "Killing", and "The Man", have all felt tremendous pressure.

Ning Hao called Lin Nan:

"Ah, you're right. It's been 15 years, and this 'ship' is still so strong!

I decided to double the publicity efforts in the future..."

Not only "The Heist", "The Man" and "The Killing" have also started intensive publicity.

Movie posters and promotional videos are all over the theaters and media, and many actors and stars on Weibo are helping to advertise.

…………

The Hong Kong Film Awards have been presented.

As expected by the public, all the nominated films under Yinghuang have not won any awards.

The crew of "Let the Bullets Fly", which has 13 nominations, did not show up. But when the awards were presented, this movie was still brought up again and again, which was full of irony.

Jiang Wen couldn't stand this anger, and immediately started writing a short essay on Weibo, without a single dirty word!

……

This year, the film and television entertainment industry in the mainland has already shown signs of being in dire straits.

On the film side, it faces a strong impact from imported films; on the entertainment sector, South Korea is also eyeing it covetously.

EXO, who just debuted, has become so popular in the mainland that they even firmly occupy the headlines of entertainment news, which is incredible.

Huang Xiaoming is very smart and decided to prepare for the premiere of "Pifu" in advance.

He personally called Lin Nan and Liu Yifei to invite them. This face must be given.

Huang Bo had said very confidently before that he would only come back to attend the premiere of "Killing", but now he had to take time out to fly back to participate in the promotional activities.

…………

"Director Lin, Wang Jiawei's The Grandmaster has just been announced. The circle is discussing this matter now. Zhang Ziyi took the lead, and many celebrities are posting to celebrate..."

Lin Nan opened the webpage, and the news of The Grandmaster was refreshed quickly. Among them, Zhang Ziyi's Weibo was the most eye-catching:

"After years of preparation and two and a half years of shooting, Wang Jiawei's The Grandmaster will surely become a classic. I am honored to star in this movie. See you during the Lunar New Year..."

"The Grandmaster is my comeback work after Hollywood, and the most attentive movie..."

……

……

Even the film company simply issued a notice, and other actors only posted a Weibo.

Zhang Ziyi was the most "excited", posting five or six Weibo posts in a row, flattering, praising, grateful and excited...

Lin Nan couldn't help but smile, "This should be the most famous director and crew she has worked with since she was kicked out of Hollywood?"

"Well, it seems so. When it comes to utilitarianism, this person has it written on his face, but he has been very unsuccessful in recent years..."

Zhang Ziyi's current position in the circle is very embarrassing.

She started from a high point, but couldn't carry the box office.

In those years, she went to Hollywood and was in the limelight for a while. She belittled and offended many domestic big flowers, and ignored and lost the mainland market.

After being kicked out, when she came back, there was no place for her to stay in the mainland, and the big flowers had already divided the basic market.

She could no longer receive top resources, and she didn't like ordinary ones. In general, she has been living off her past.

She even made several appointments with Lin Nan in the middle and tried to make a movie, but Lin Nan refused them all on the grounds that they were not suitable.

This "The Grandmaster" is the best resource she has ever had access to, and she just got it by time-sharing with her foreign boyfriend. At that time, the outside world didn't know that she was dumped.

I think Zhang Ziyi should hope that this movie can be released as soon as possible more than anyone else.

…

"Many media have started to talk about "Ip Man" again, asking when our company's "Ip Man" will be released?"

"After "One Man's Martial Arts" is over, we can prepare for "Ip Man 3."

…………

"The Avengers" will only be screened less than five times at the Capital International Film Festival, and it is still the uncut version.

Given the nature of domestic film festivals, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter such screenings. Most of them are insiders or media.

Lin Nan thought that when the time comes, he can take Liu Yifei to watch this popcorn movie. So, he specially got a few tickets from China Film.

"This is the first time you have taken the initiative to take me to the movies! In the past, which time was not it me who suggested it?"

Liu Yifei complained about Lin Nan, but her face was very bright.

"Miss Liu is right. I was careless. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." Lin Nan patted his chest and promised. He was indeed a little embarrassed to be pointed out by Miss Liu.

…………

Huayi announced the cast of "Shendu Dragon King". The film will start shooting in early May.

Audiences and netizens are a little bit unacceptable. Because except for Liu Jialing, the cast has changed a lot.

Liu Dehua's Di Renjie was replaced by Zhao Youting, and all the old actors in the first part were replaced by young actors, Feng Shaofeng, Lin Gengxin, and Chen Kun, which seemed to be going for the fan group.

Even the leading actress became a newcomer like Yang Ying who has no acting skills. The first part was Li Bingbing!

Although the costumes and props of the first part were criticized, the story plot was really good.

Now that the actors have been replaced, many people think that there must be "dirty" and "conspiracy" in it. After all, which series would do this? Don't they try to keep the original cast?

"It is suspected that the leading actors such as Liu Dehua are paid too much. Huayi strongly demands Xu Ke to change roles to reduce production costs."

"Huayi is willing to replace all the acting talents to promote its own artists..."

"The actors are not at the same level, and it is too unrealistic to promote Yang Ying."

...

The same investment of 130 million yuan, but a group of cheaper young people were replaced;

People in the industry have doubts, will the special effects cost of Huayi's film account for a larger proportion, otherwise how can the investment amount be the same as the first one?

"Titanic 3D" is really fierce, with daily box office maintained at more than 70 million, 80 million, 90 million...

The production companies that have movies released in April have already begun to tremble with fear, how can they play this?

In two days, there will be several imported blockbusters such as "Miami Action", "New York Action", "Battleship" and "Ghost Rider 2", so there is no way to play!

Lin Nan saw Ning Hao's speech in front of the media:

"Now domestic films can only fight guerrilla warfare in the face of Hollywood imported films, there is no other way..."
