Chapter 453 Comparison

All the crew members of "Passengers" are present, without missing a single person.

As director and producer, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are the focus of today's scene.

There is still more than an hour before the premiere officially begins, and everyone is busy socializing.

Liu Dehua, Zhou Xun, Lei Jiayin, and Liang Jiahui are all veterans who are at ease in such occasions.

Only Reba was accompanied by Liu Yifei, looking a little unfamiliar and restrained.

Lin Nan and Han Sanping and others were talking when Fan Bingbing came over with a wine glass, wearing a close-fitting dress that showed off her figure.

"... I wish Director Lin's "Passengers" will be as popular as "Bad Genius" and win the Golden Horse Award."

After saying that, Fan Bingbing drank half a glass of red wine.

This bold style is what big guys like Han Sanping like.

"Thank you. I thought you couldn't come. Aren't you preparing for the premiere of your movie?"

"Of course I'll come. I'll be in the hibernation capsule later. Speaking of the premiere, please take time out to show up, Director Lin, on the 27th, when Passengers is released."

Lin Nan nodded and agreed. It was not a big deal. "Okay."

Seeing that Lin Nan agreed, Fan Bingbing greeted Han Sanping and others again, and then walked away with a tactful look.

...

Seeing that the time was almost up, everyone returned to their seats.

The first two rows were state-owned enterprises such as Aerospace Science and Technology Group and China Film, Shanghai Film, and Xi'an Film, as well as producers such as Wanda and Guangxian, and major film and television companies in the circle.

Huayi has two bosses, which is a great advantage. One came to Lin Nan's side, and the other went to "Dangerous Liaisons".

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei stood on the stage, surrounded by five actors.

"Many people sitting here today will be seen in the movie later."

Lin Nan's words immediately caused a burst of laughter.

People in the industry had heard that when Lin Nan was filming Passengers, he was looking for people to make cameos. Almost all the people who came to visit the set were drafted.

Only Yu Dong was below, smiling awkwardly. Lin Nan did not invite him to make a cameo...

"By the way, let me introduce you to everyone."

At this time, Liu Yifei remembered something and pulled Reba to her side.

"Reba, you have already appeared in Bad Genius. But to be honest, Passengers is her screen debut, and she is the second female lead."

Reba tried to keep smiling, listening to Liu Yifei introducing herself to all the guests present today, and she was very nervous.

"...If there is a suitable role, everyone can find her..."

Liu Yifei talked freely and recommended Reba on the stage, which was welcomed by applause.

"Thank you, I am Reba...a junior at Shanghai Theatre Academy..."

The name is Reba, why do you stutter when you speak?

Lin Nan and Liu Dehua stood by and couldn't help laughing.

Offstage, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia both sighed a little, Reba, this newcomer, is so lucky!

"She got a big shot, Liu Yifei's." Zeng Jia whispered.

"She is indeed lucky, better luck than I was at the beginning."

...

Some young actors who were brought in by their elders are also a little envious at this moment.

Hu Ge in the middle smiled and glanced at Cai Yinong next to him, who was indeed frowning.

Maybe in a few years, this Reba will be more popular than the top actress in her own company?

...

"Passengers" was officially screened for the first time.

In the camera, the boundless universe and the galaxy are shining.

The huge and tiny interstellar spaceship seems to fly in front of a star that is close at hand, and the picture is extremely shocking!

The meteorite group is coming towards the spaceship...

The camera zooms in infinitely and enters the interior of the spaceship. The imaginative architectural design is also eye-catching.

"The design of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group is so awesome, it's like going back to the time when I watched "The Martian"..."

A few scattered voices rang out, and several actors and artists couldn't help but exclaim.

"Fuck, Mr. Han!"

"Fuck, is it really Mr. Han?!"

When the first hibernation capsule shot appeared, all the guests on the scene were shocked.

The first shot was given to the boss of China Film, Director Lin is great!

Han Sanping laughed so hard that his eyes were invisible. This shot lasted for six or seven seconds, which was very good.

The movie subtitles still didn't end, and the long shot of the hibernation capsule area began to move down.

"... Zhang Yimou, Huang Bo... Tian Zhuangzhuang, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing... Jiang Wen, Ning Hao..."

As many as dozens of bigwigs and first-line stars in the circle surprised everyone.

This long shot was three and a half minutes, until it finally stopped in front of two adjacent hibernation capsules.

"It's Director Lin and Yifei!"

"They are quite playful? They have to be a pair to guest-star in the immigration to an alien planet!"

...

The discussion became louder and louder, and most of them were accompanied by laughter.

The two-hour movie slowly unfolded.

Although it is a romance film, the sci-fi special effects are not ambiguous at all, and everyone who watched it exclaimed that it was wonderful.

…

"Ask me about the box office?"

"Yes, you are the producer."

Liu Yifei took the microphone and looked at Zhou Xun with a smile, and the latter glared back at her as if playing a joke.

"I think the box office will be very good, but it may not exceed "Bad Genius" because the heroine of "Passengers" is Brother Xun, not me!"

"Go to hell." Zhou Xun cursed with a smile.

"Hi, I'm a producer. I'm so disrespectful. I'll be careful not to call you next time."

Liu Yifei pretended to be angry and replied, and at first glance she was joking.

Another burst of laughter suddenly broke out below. Even if the box office problem is solved, it will be over.

…

The longer Lin Nan stays in this circle, the clearer he understands some of the rules of this industry, such as the exchange of favors and the exchange of interests.

Just like this moment, Jiang Wenli brought her niece over to say hello, and Lin Nan started chatting with interest.

“Now it’s not like before. If an actress really wants to stand out, she can’t do without commercial films.

If there is an opportunity in the future, if you give her a role, Director Gu and I would like to thank you in advance. "

"Sister Wen Li, you're welcome. If there is a chance, of course."

"Thank you, Director Lin."

Perhaps after several years of "teaching" by Jiang Wenli, Ma Chun is indeed not as "reckless" as when they first met, and has become much smoother.

"At the beginning, "Into the Dust" had no success in the Golden Rooster. I hope it will have good results in the Golden Rooster this time."

Jiang Wenli looked at Lin Nan and said implicitly.

The original heroine of "Into the Dust" was Jiang Wenli.

And this time for the Golden Horse Awards, she will be a member of the final five-person jury!

Five accounts for two.

Lin Nan smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Sister Wenli, for lending me your kind words."

…………

The premiere is over and the media is busy.

"The premiere of "Passengers" is over. The special effects are stunning. It's a science fiction romance blockbuster. It's not to be missed."

"There are more than 40 guest guests in the industry, and director Lin Nan is a big deal!"

"Liu Yifei recommends the new actor Reba to the producers and film companies present in the film and television industry!"

…

"At the premiere of "Dangerous Liaisons", the guest lineup was a little thin. Xiao Sa hosted it personally..."

"Zhang Ziyi said bluntly with tears in her eyes at the premiere: She just wants to find a good and honest man to marry!"

"Dou Xiao said that his work has been managed by Pu Lun, not the new picture..."

…

Lin Nan and Liu Dehua met. The latter will return to Hong Kong Island and will soon go to the Golden Horse to participate in the judging work.

The next time we meet will be at the Golden Horse Awards in November.

"Director Lin, see you at Golden Horse."

"See you on the golden horse."

…

Several domestic films are gaining momentum.

In terms of media promotion, it has become somewhat deserted.

"Huayi calls on theaters to arrange films as fairly and as comprehensively as possible, rather than relying on people's choices."

Yue Jun seemed to be telling a joke, which was a joke in the first place.

"Is this for Passengers?"

Lin Nan lowered his head and smiled, knowingly asked.

The theater chain will definitely give priority to Lin Nan's movies because they have a guaranteed box office.

"Obviously. The number of films scheduled on the first day gave us 30%, and even "Looper" was far behind."

"Looper" is an imported blockbuster that several domestic films have to face, and no one can escape.

"They should thank me for taking the lead." Lin Nan joked casually.

…

Two days flew by.

"Passengers", "Tai Chi 1" and "Dangerous Liaisons" were released on the same day.

Both the film industry and major media are a little excited.

Judging from the cast and investment scale, these three movies are all blockbusters. And it was released on the same day, which was also a hot topic of public opinion.

The three movies can be compared and hyped anytime and anywhere, and there is endless material to write about.

On the first day of the movie's release, Lin Nan went to the premiere of "Double Exposure."

Liu Yifei, on the other hand, made an appointment with Shu Chang and Reba and went to sing. Miss Liu is an out-and-out Mai Ba.

The box office on the first day can be said to be highly anticipated.

At the same time, online reviews of the three movies also vary.

“‘Passengers’ grossed 49.6 million at the box office on its first day, a little test of its skills!”

"Different from the pure hard-core science fiction of "The Martian", "Passengers" is a bit more tender, but it is still a wonderful science fiction romance blockbuster..."

"The love movie "Dangerous Liaisons" starring Zhang Baizhi and Zhang Ziyi, with an investment of 200 million yuan, had extremely poor box office on the first day, with a revenue of 4.6 million yuan, and there is no hope of recovering the original investment..."

"Tai Chi 1, produced by Huayi and directed by newcomer director Feng Delun, starring martial arts champion Yuan Xiaochao and Yang Ying, showed its decline. The box office on the first day was 8.9 million, which was far from the set target..."

…

What the industry is most concerned about is the box office, and as expected, it is Lin Nan's "Passengers" that takes the lead.

At this time, online reviews of the three movies had already spread.

How do you say that?

Don’t be afraid of not knowing the goods, be afraid of comparing goods!

When the three movies were put in front of them, both the audience and the media had endless things to say.

Which one is more rubbish and which one is worse? The more you compare them, the more they will become apparent.

Fortunately, "Passengers" is the movie that is used as a benchmark for comparison, not the one that is criticized.
