Chapter 439: Carrying the Banner

"Bad Genius" closed at 66.5 million on the first day."

"Bad Genius" breaks the record for the first day box office of domestic films!"

"After two years, the film market has once again welcomed a high-grossing domestic commercial film, and this time it is still directed by Lin Nan."

"Liu Yifei performed perfectly and successfully played the role of a female lead and a top student..."

"Newcomer actress Di Lieba from Shanhai Media made her big screen debut, which was quite eye-catching."

...

The media's reports were much more serious than those of netizens.

The movie channel personally came out, "Bad Genius" will carry the banner for a number of domestic films in the second half of the year!"

66.5 million!

The entire film and television industry was shocked by this number. Can domestic films really do this?

You know, the first day box office of "Pacific Rim" in China was only 57 million!

"This movie is too popular. In our exam-oriented education environment, all audiences will resonate more or less!"

Many producers and directors are analyzing why the first day performance of "Bad Genius" is so abnormal.

Jackie Chan's "Chinese Zodiac", Feng Xiaogang's "1942", Lu Chuan's "The Feast of Kings", Wang Jing's "Shanghai", Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster"...

Inland and Hong Kong, all the well-known directors who will release movies within six months are now paying attention to "Bad Genius".

This commercial film seems to have opened up new horizons for everyone. It turns out that the market for domestic films has reached this level!

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are both very busy at this moment, because the phone has never stopped, all of them are coming to congratulate.

The media put the known income of "Bad Genius" on the front page.

"Copyright income: 83.65 million US dollars!"

"In-film advertising income: 86 million RMB!"

In just one month, the industry will know the final profit figures of this movie.

How many film and television companies in the circle are eagerly watching this news, and they are almost crazy with envy.

...

Reba came to Lin Nan Pictures from Shanhai Media and saw Liu Yifei.

"Sister Yifei, I've received six notices, and four advertising endorsements, hahaha..."

Miss Liu likes this sweet-mouthed girl very much, and said with a smile: "Keep going, I'm rooting for you."

"Thank you, Sister Yifei."

Reba followed Jiang Xingrou, smiling, and looked really happy.

In the office, Lin Nan was answering Han Sanping's call.

"...It will be released on the 25th, and there are seven days this month. I said I have no idea about the last week of next month, do you believe me, Mr. Han?"

A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone, "Of course I don't believe it."

Han Sanping was still laughing in the last second, and became very serious in the next second:

"But you have to know that domestic films lost so much money in the first half of the year, and how many companies suffered heavy losses. Everyone is counting on the second half of the year."

"If you get another month's extension key, what will other companies think? Are you really their own son, and they are all adopted?"

What Han Sanping said makes sense. At this special time, the Film Bureau will indeed consider the interests of most production companies and films.

One family makes a fortune and a group of people have enough food and clothing, the bureau will definitely give priority to the latter.

Lin Nan chuckled: "Did Mr. Han not listen carefully just now? I didn't say I wanted a month's extension, I said the week at the end of next month."

The other end of the phone paused:

"Huh? Well, I really have inertial thinking. When it comes to extending the key, I subconsciously think it's a month.

If it's just that week, it's relatively easier."

Lin Nan doesn't ask for two months, his goal is five full weeks, including the week at the end of July, and a full month in August, just right.

"Then I'll apply, you have to help me."

"You apply, I will communicate with Director Tong.

Your movie is really profitable. Today, I met with Lao Ren and others, and we were all talking about your "Bad Genius"..."

After another two minutes of long-windedness, Lin Nan could clearly hear the sour taste in Han Sanping's words, really sour.

"Did Mr. Han agree to help?"

Liu Yifei put a glass of water in front of Lin Nan and asked expectantly.

"Yes, I agree."

Lin Nan looked at Jiang Xingrou, Reba and her agent, "Have you signed?"

"I have signed. She will be busy in the next one or two months."

Jiang Xingrou looked at the artists she signed and said with satisfaction.

"That's good. By the way, Director Jiang, please go to the Film Bureau and apply for a one-week extension key for "Bad Genius" until the end of August."

"Got it."

Half an hour later, Jiang Xingrou and Reba left the company and went about their own business.

Lin Nan drove Liu Yifei and the two of them were ready to go to the appointment. Shu Chang, Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin had already arrived at the private restaurant.

…………

Chen Kaige looked expressionlessly at the data that Chen Hong handed over and the feedback from the theater chain.

"The Search stopped at 156 million, and the daily box office is only a few thousand yuan now. Let's take it off." Chen Hong suggested.

Taking it off in this way can also save face. The box office of a few thousand yuan a day is still reported by the media, which is a bit dazzling.

"Then take it off the screen." Chen Kaige nodded and agreed.

He remembered the news he saw in the morning, "The Four" went from 202 million to 212 million, and then was taken off the screen.

It was a bit of a slap in the face, and he even belittled the other person at the premiere of "Searching."

…

The results of "Genius Gunslinger" came out on the second day, setting a new high.

"The box office of "The Genius" the next day was 72 million, which is going up all the way. Director Lin Nan may really be able to get the 46% share ratio again like he did with "Pacific Rim"!"

"The news came back from Hollywood that "The Gunslinger", which was released in Europe and the United States yesterday, has attracted the attention of the University Committee.

The committee stated that there have been no cases of cheating on SAT exams similar to those in the movie, and that examination room discipline will be stricter in the future..."

…

Domestically, the Internet has once again caused a sensation.

"Director Lin is awesome..."

"'Genius Gunner' is so fierce, it alarmed the officials over there."

"Liu Yifei is amazing, another masterpiece with a heroine!"

…

The Internet was abuzz, and Lin Nan and others seemed to have instantly become heroes.

At this time, five people were having a dinner together and feasting.

"Thanks to Director Tolin and Producer Liu, I can be considered a member of the front-line team. Come and pay homage to you."

Luo Jin raised his glass and drank it down with a smile.

"Then you have to work hard. You are the only one here who is not very stable. Be careful of falling."

Zhu Yawen joked with a playful look.

"You have such a crow's mouth." Luo Jin said angrily.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that "The Gunslinger" will not be worse at the box office than "The Rogue".

And Luo Jin has a lot of roles in both movies, so it is natural for him to step into the front line.

"I'm afraid I'll have to call someone to pick us up soon. Sissi, if I drink too much, it's up to you."

Lin Nan raised the red wine, looked at Liu Yifei's rosy cheeks, and said warmly.

"Don't worry, I promise to take you back."

Liu Yifei winked at Lin Nan and spoke very confidently.

Hearing this, Lin Nan was a little speechless.

Miss Liu is not only good at fighting, she also has a good drinking capacity. She is better than him anyway. This is something Lin Nan has known for a long time.

People who practice martial arts are just different!

…

On the third day, the box office revenue was 75 million;

On the fourth day, another 75.5 million was collected.

In just four days of release, "The Gunslinger" has already shown its overwhelming power.

After this movie, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei will most likely have one or two more titles.

The first director of a domestic film with a box office of over one billion.

The first producer and heroine of a domestic film with a box office of over 1 billion.

As the film's influence continues to expand, Reba's name as a newcomer is also known to more audiences and insiders.

Although she only made a cameo appearance for a few minutes, Lin Nan brought her along as part of the main creative lineup to promote the show.

"One movie gave a newcomer with only a few minutes of footage a second-tier reputation. Although it was only short-lived, it was really incredible."

As Cai Yinong spoke, he couldn't help but look at the people in the "Xuanyuan Sword" crew in front of him, especially Nazha, who had just returned from participating in "Base Camp".

"It doesn't have to be short-lived. There will be "Passengers" next. I heard that there are five people in this drama. Director Lin's Reba has a lot of roles, and she is considered a supporting actress."

That is to say, Hu Ge can chat happily without worrying about being criticized.

Sure enough, Cai Yinong only glared at him and said nothing more.

"Don't be anxious, take your time, there is always a chance."

Everyone knows who Cai Yinong said this to.

Nazha nodded, "Yes, I know, Mr. Cai."

""The Ballad of the Desert" has been canceled again. The plot needs to be completely revised and deleted. Lao Hu and Shi Shi will stay here for a while, and the others can go back and rest..."

…………

"Director Lin, I have made my choice."

Guo Fan called over and first congratulated "Genius Gunslinger" on the success, and then got down to business.

Lin Nan was working as a shit shoveler at the moment. He tilted his head and held his mobile phone between his legs, "Which one?"

"I think I should add more plot and emotional drama based on science fiction."

"Got it, that soft science fiction?"

"Yes."

"Okay, prepare yourself first and have a plan. It's almost time to get back to work. Then come to the company to find me."

"Okay, Director Lin."

Hearing the blind tone, Lin Nan straightened his head out of habit and heard a "pop".

The mobile phone fell into the dustpan, which was just shoveled in...

"Fuck me!"

Lin Nan breathed out the fragrance subconsciously.

He glanced at the cats with unusually beautiful pupils surrounding him, smiled bitterly and murmured: "How about I starve you all?"

As luck would have it, another call came in at this time, and the phone buzzed and vibrated.

Lin Nan glanced at the dirty screen in the dustpan, which had the words "Liu Dehua" written on it.

For a moment, Lin Nan didn't know what to do, and it took a few seconds for him to react.

"Brother Hua, it's not my fault. I'll call you later."

Lin Nan chuckled helplessly, maybe it was about the golden horse again, right? !
