Chapter 419 Fine-Tuning, Times Have Changed
The box office of the big ship has reached 950 million, ranking the highest in April.
The theater estimated that "Titanic 3D" should be able to collect another 20 to 30 million before it is closed.
But it is almost impossible to reach 1 billion at the box office.
Ning Hao is like taking medicine. The movie has been released and he is still promoting it vigorously. Of course, the effect is also very good.
"The Heist" is the only domestic film that has survived the siege of Hollywood blockbusters and won applause from the industry.
"63 million in the first week, this data is not bad, it is worth my hard work to promote it."
Ning Hao is still very satisfied with the box office results of "The Heist" in such a harsh environment, and his heart is still full of fighting spirit.
"During the period before "The Avengers" is released, you should persist and the box office will be better."
Hearing Lin Nan's suggestion on the phone, Ning Hao gritted his teeth and nodded.
He watched that movie, a standard Hollywood popcorn movie, and a very strong one.
The period before the release of "Avengers" is indeed a rare opportunity for "The Heist" to increase its box office.
Lin Nan invested 10 million yuan in the film, and he has helped promote it several times in the past two days.
I just hope that the final box office results of "The Heist" can be more impressive.
On the other hand, Huang Xiaoming's "The Ordinary Man", which cost 30 million yuan, only had a box office of 14 million yuan in the first week. The ending has been determined, a huge loss!
But then again, although the film is destined to lose money, "The Ordinary Man" has indeed won a lot of praise for Huang Xiaoming.
His attitude of not caring about the box office, not caring about losing money, and only focusing on the film has allowed him to successfully enter the circle of film producers.
In addition, Huang Xiaoming has also been favored by many producers and directors, and his future will definitely be easier.
The worst is the combination of Guan Hu and Huang Bo, which is a complete failure.
"Killing" was released for three days, and the box office was less than 4 million, which made many people in the industry feel a little incredible.
But the fact is that if the audience doesn't give you face, no matter how much you promote it, it will be useless.
…………
"The Four" and "Bad Genius" were announced in the same list.
The former is scheduled for July 1, and the latter is scheduled for July 27.
Compared with "The Four", which has the original work to refer to, the majority of netizens and a number of film companies in the industry are more concerned about "Bad Genius".
Everyone remembers that this movie script written by Lin Nan was rejected once at first!
"Bad Genius" directed by Lin Nan, produced and starred by Liu Yifei, and starred by Zhu Yawen, Shu Chang, Luo Jin and others is officially scheduled for the summer vacation."
"The confidentiality of "Bad Genius" is in place. At present, its specific story content is unknown. We can only guess from the movie name. The plot involves cheating in exams..."
……
The media was worried that they couldn't find out the content of the movie, but Liu Yifei was happily chatting with fans on Weibo and revealed some content when answering questions.
"I play a female academic master, a very powerful one! Everyone will know when the time comes."
"Shu Chang plays a rich girl who can only cry, has no scheming, is a poor student, and is still my best friend..."
"What about Zhu Yawen? He..."
...
"Oh! I can't say any more. If I say too much, Director Lin will criticize me again. Well, he is very fierce...
...
Lin Nan was attending the last copyright forum of the film festival, and Jiang Wen next to him bumped him with his elbow.
"Director Lin, you are on the headlines."
"Let me see?"
Two or three minutes later, Lin Nan figured out the whole story and was a little amused.
Many fans "educated" him in a joking tone, saying that he should not lose his temper, should not criticize Liu Yifei, and should listen to his girlfriend...
Many people in the circle also came to join in the fun and tease Lin Nan. Because everyone could hear that Liu Yifei was joking and showing off her love.
...
"I originally thought you would take one of "Bad Genius" or "Passengers" to the Lunar New Year period. "
Lin Nan glanced at Jiang Wen, who had a regretful expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I've prepared "Lost in Thailand", this movie is enough!"
Jiang Wen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Haha, you still understand me, screw him!"
On the rostrum, Feng Xiaogang had been replaced, and his target was piracy.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the vulgar words made many people below feel uncomfortable, but there were more applause.
"We have been gang-raped countless times by pirates, and now they are still fucking me, let them fuck, anyway, we are all chickens, but we still have to fight our way out..."
After talking about the current situation, Feng Xiaogang began to fire at the upper level.
"Several imported films have not been pirated in China, and even "Battleship" was released earlier here than in North America, because the relevant departments protected it very well, and there was no piracy. "
"But the upper level never protects our own domestic films. Ning Hao's "The Great Robbery" is so miserable, that is a ready-made example.
The movie hasn't even been released yet, but pirated copies have already been released, causing heavy losses..."
Feng Xiaogang's speech was rough but true, and Lin Nan applauded.
One of his words was particularly realistic and chilling:
"Many pirated copies are from movie copy factories and internal personnel, but they are our state-owned enterprises..."
The consequence of saying "I'm happy" is that I was interrupted several times by the host, and finally I was "invited" to leave. Some leaders looked ugly.
…
Huayi announced that "1942" will be released during the Lunar New Year period. The specific date is to be determined because it needs to coordinate the release time with several other films of the company.
Wang Zhonglei made a bold statement in front of the media, "We are full of confidence in "1942". The box office of this movie will definitely exceed "The Great Earthquake", just a lot more."
…
The Capital International Film Festival ended successfully.
Before leaving, Cameron also revealed the scars of the domestic film industry, saying that he hoped that China would relax restrictions on film shooting and not curb the creation of filmmakers.
Everyone thanked them politely, without expecting the superiors to listen.
…
"In order not to affect "Passengers", and to try to stagger the movies of several of your great directors, I have made slight adjustments to the film schedule."
On the phone, Han Sanping said mysteriously, as if he had wisdom in his hands.
"Fine-tuning?"
"Yes. "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises," both of which are top Hollywood blockbusters, were originally scheduled to be released in the summer.
I asked China Film Distribution Company to move these two films to the last few days of the summer season. These two science fiction blockbusters will be released on the same day, August 27.
This will not affect your "The Genius", nor will it affect the National Day release of "Passengers". How about it? Hahaha……"
Hearing Han Sanping's words, Lin Nan swallowed. He couldn't help but sigh, this operation is amazing!
Of course, it is also possible that China Film has been criticized too much during this period. After all, Hollywood movies are bloodbathing the film market, killing domestic films into rivers of blood and leaving no bones left.
"This is indeed a good thing! It will be like April in the future. A large number of film companies will suffer losses or even go bankrupt this year." Lin Nan replied.
"Oh, there is no other way. I have tried my best. The best and middle-of-the-road solution that China Film Group can think of now is to let Hollywood blockbusters compete with each other and do their own thing.
Then, try to preserve the films of a few of your big commercial film directors. You have to give me some encouragement! "
Han Sanping spoke earnestly, which made Lin Nan a little moved. Han Sanping is indeed worried about the domestic film industry.
He thought about it and decided to reciprocate the favor and sell Han Jianu.
"Well, don't worry, Director Han, I have confidence in "Genius" and "Passengers".
Also, let me tell you that Han Ga Nyeo is back. The final exam will be waived and will be replaced by practical exercises from "Thailand". She has already started her summer vacation ahead of schedule..."
Sure enough, after hearing this, Han Sanping reacted and remembered this matter.
"Oh, you're back? Okay, I'll find a crew for her..."
…………
The next day was just as Lin Nan expected.
When China Film announced the schedule for imported films in the second half of the year, all production companies first paid attention to the two science fiction blockbusters.
"China Film Group has finally made a move. This series of films is interesting and amazing!"
"August 27th is also the summer season, so there's nothing wrong with it. "The Big Four" and "Genius" are the biggest beneficiaries!"
"The "Passengers" produced by China Film and other companies is also a beneficiary..."
…………
Liu Yifei glanced at Lin Nan from time to time, and then giggled.
"Still laughing?"
"It's good. You see, they all told you to be nice to me, don't act like a great director, don't bully me..."
Liu Yifei pretended to be pitiful, talking and acting.
At this moment, Lin Nan saw what it means: women are born actors!
"How dare I? I'm still afraid of domestic violence..."
Lin Nan raised his eyebrows and said jokingly.
"No, I will also expose your 'atrocities' on Weibo, so that everyone can..."
Before Lin Nan could finish speaking, Liu Yifei flew over and suppressed her.
"Hmph, that's a nice thought, but I'm a weak woman, and no one will believe you."
The two of them were breathing together. Lin Nan looked at her arrogant look and said softly:
"Then please Miss Liu, a weak woman, please get off of me first. Although my butt is soft, perky and comfortable, it's really easy to get angry, Sissy."
"..."
…………
"One Man's Martial Arts" announced the entire cast.
From the perspective of the mainland film industry, there is a sense of pride and elation.
But in the eyes of Hong Kong circles and Hong Kong media, this is a naked insult.
Once upon a time, Mainland actors supported Hong Kong actors, and most of the female leads were from Mainland China.
But this "One Man's Martial Arts" is completely the opposite. The director and the two leading actors are all actors from the Mainland.
Only the female lead is from Hong Kong. To be strict, the female lead cannot be considered a Hong Kong actor. After all, she is from the Mainland.
In addition, all the supporting roles and extras in the film crew are from Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong media are all criticizing Lin Nan Pictures and Yinghuang, and many Hong Kong filmmakers are also angry.
"Lin Nan has no respect for the Hong Kong film industry. This is asking us Hong Kong actors to step in for mainland actors..."
"In order to make money and the mainland market, Yinghuang even loses his face!"
…
For one day, there was a lot of commotion on Hong Kong Island, as if Lin Nan had really been defiled.
Lin Nan heard that Yang Shoucheng had criticized a lot of people, so he definitely couldn't be idle, so he immediately posted on Weibo:
“For the ‘adults’ in Hong Kong, times have changed.
In the past and even now, if someone flatters someone, that’s their business. This will never happen to me.
If you are really angry, just make a movie and use it to slap others in the face, instead of just complaining all day long...”
