Chapter 530: The Era of "Mountain Eagle" Is Over
Early in the morning, the front page of entertainment news has more news that can be compared with "Tiny Times".
Many first-line actresses in the circle want to hug the thigh: Deng Wendi, was sued for divorce!
The news of the divorce of an American couple actually touched the nerves of the entire domestic film and television industry, which is indeed rare.
Li Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi, the two current and former best friends, were inevitably pulled out by the media, and the topic skyrocketed for a while.
"There is one less channel for mainland actresses to go overseas."
"Ms. Deng is an inspirational legend of a mistress who rose to power, and is worth learning from by countless female compatriots!"
"It's worth it. Although there is a prenuptial agreement, this is a divorce filed by an old man, and he will definitely give a huge amount of wealth as compensation."
"You should find an old one when you are young, and then find a young one when you are financially free..."
"Marrying into a wealthy family is not the ultimate goal. The right way is to cultivate your own knowledge, ability and connections. Ms. Deng did this, and she has already become a big boss."
...
There are all kinds of messy remarks on the Internet, which constantly impact the three views of normal people, but are also naked realities.
After Lin Nan glanced at it a few times, he stopped paying attention, because there was no intersection, and it was all trivial matters.
On the contrary, the box office of "Tiny Times" is still eye-catching, closing at 60 million on the fourth day, and the total box office reached 270 million.
However, the better the box office performance of this movie, the greater the reaction in the film industry.
Guo Jingming and his fans are still "fighting" with filmmakers and critics, with both sides confronting each other, and it seems that they will never stop fighting.
It seems that in a short time, it is estimated that there will be no winner, and it will not stop.
Yue Jun came to Tiangong Color.
"Director Lin, the promotion of "Time Traveler" has to start, and the posters and trailers have been fully rolled out."
Lin Nan just remembered that there is about a month before the movie will be released.
Guo Fan will be busy. He just came out of the crew of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and he has to start promoting "Time Traveler". It's a completely non-stop rhythm!
Thinking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help shaking his head.
He looked at Yue Jun and smiled helplessly:
"Then notify Guo Fan, let him work hard, take all the leading actors, and proceed according to the promotion plan."
"Well, I will notify them in person later."
Yue Jun was also worried about Guo Fan's energy problem, so he came to inform Lin Nan.
"In a few days, Han Jianu will come to borrow a group of people and equipment. Please help her arrange it."
Yue Jun was stunned for a moment, then responded: "No problem. Is she going to do a graduation drama?"
"Yes, I promised her before."
Lin Nan smiled and nodded, and couldn't help but think of Han Jianu's operation of selling her father.
…………
The Film Bureau released the data report for the first half of the year.
In view of the impressive box office of several movies such as "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", "Love in Seattle", "To Youth", "One Man's Martial Arts", and "Chinese Partners".
Domestic films have magically tied with imported films? This is really not easy!
In this way, all the pressure is given to domestic films that will be released later.
Because there are more imported films in the second half of the year, and they are all blockbusters, such as "Fast and Furious 7", "Thor 2", "Jurassic Park 3D", etc., each of them looks like a covetous eye.
Lin Nan dare not guarantee that "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" will be completed before the Lunar New Year holiday.
So he didn't think about the Lunar New Year holiday and the Spring Festival holiday for the time being, and he would decide when the time comes based on the specific situation. Of course, if possible, he doesn't mind going to the Spring Festival.
After the filming of "The Four 2" was completed at the beginning of the year, Wang Changtian specifically urged Tiangong Color to make special effects.
At this moment, Guangguang is aiming at the Lunar New Year's Day with great fanfare, looking confident in the box office.
"Directed by Chen Jiashang, starring Deng Chao, Zhao Liying, Zou Zhaolong and others, the 3D martial arts movie "The Four 2" will be officially released on December 6!"
For the production industry, there is another competitor that cannot be underestimated at the end of the year.
At the end of the day, Lin Nan turned down several invitations to events, all of which were social events in the circle that could be attended or not.
What about Huayi's annual film plan press conference, Xiaoma's IPO cocktail party...
There are even several dinners jointly held by the six major brokerage companies in South Korea in Beijing. There will be countless long legs and pretty boys, giving people a feeling that this is also a dinner dish...
But it must be said that South Korean idol artists are really popular in China now.
Mango TV has made great contributions in this regard!
Even EXO, who debuted less than a year and a half ago, has appeared on their variety shows several times, and their popularity is close to the top.
In the evening, a message from Hollywood made Miss Liu the focus again.
"The Disney 3D animated film "Frozen", in which Liu Yifei participated in the dubbing performance, has been scheduled for November 27th, North American time."
"Disney revealed that after a week of negotiations with China Film, "Frozen" will successfully enter the domestic film market, and the specific schedule is subject to further consultation."
"The head of Disney's production department said that he looks forward to the next cooperation with Liu Yifei and hopes to reach a cooperation intention with Director Lin Nan in the future."
When Lin Nan got home, Miss Liu was on the phone and looked in a good mood.
From what she meant, it seemed like she was waiting for "Frozen" to be released in China. She wanted to invite Shu Chang and the others to watch the movie, or to reserve the theater!
"Well, let Lin Nan pay."
Glancing at Lin Nan who had just returned, Liu Yifei smiled sweetly into the phone.
"I pay? Okay."
Lin Nan chuckled and nodded, sitting next to Liu Yifei. I think Shu Chang and the others called after seeing the news.
Miss Liu is chatting, and Lin Nan can't be idle either. He has to advertise "Jing Zhong Yue Fei", which will premiere tonight. This is also a job entrusted to him by several other producers.
"'Loyalty to Yue Fei', a national hero with 'loyalty to serve the country' engraved on his back! The wonderful performances of Huang Xiaoming, Zhao Liying... and others are worth looking forward to..."
In less than five minutes, a Weibo post was posted, and several of the main creators were liked.
Soon, everyone started replying and interacting. Many people in the industry flocked to the event and cheered.
Lin Nan's cell phone suddenly vibrated. It was Han Sanping's number.
"The calls that Director Han makes after 5 p.m. are usually not trivial matters. They are basically more important than calls made during working hours."
Lin Nan picked up the phone, whispered to Liu Yifei, and then walked into the garden.
"Director Han, "The Man of Tai Chi", a co-production invested by China Film Group Corporation, will be released tomorrow. Isn't this why you are calling me now?"
There was a trace of complicated emotions in Han Sanping's voice on the other end of the phone:
"Come to China Film Academy tomorrow morning. I'll treat you to a meal in the small auditorium."
"What did you say? Invite us to dinner?" Lin Nan thought she heard wrongly and asked confirmingly.
The small auditorium of China Film Academy is the place responsible for receptions. When did we have dinner there before, when was it not for business?
In Lin Nan's opinion, this time it will definitely not be a simple treat for dinner!
"Yes, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Who are the 'people' you mentioned?" Lin Nan asked again.
"You, Wang Changtian, Ye Ning, just you three."
Hearing this, Lin Nan's heart skipped a beat.
Lin Nan Pictures, Enlight, and Wanda? Plus China Film...
These are the four companies with Lin Nan as the core that they often cooperate with!
"It's not your treat, right? Or rather, it's not just you?"
"Hahaha, your mind works so fast. Yes, you guessed it right, I'm not the only one. You'll know when tomorrow comes."
Han Sanping didn't say much and hung up the phone quickly.
Back at the villa, Lin Nan snuggled next to Liu Yifei, waiting for the call.
Sure enough, within ten minutes, Wang Changtian and Ye Ning called one after another.
"Director Wang, your wishful thinking may come to nothing. Haha..."
"It seems so. See you tomorrow at noon."
Liu Yifei was a little curious, "Director Han wants to invite you to dinner?"
Lin Nan nodded first, then shook his head, and finally said with a smile: "We are not eating here, we are going to meet the next leader."
"Who will be after Director Han retires?"
"Yes, the new chairman of China Film Group." Lin Nan sighed. The era of "mountain eagle" is over.
…………
After returning to the capital, it turned out that I couldn't be as indulgent as when I was on the set.
The next day.
More than a dozen pieces of movie information were refreshed and made headlines.
First of all, "Tiny Times", which has been popular for a week, seems to be about to hit rock bottom.
In the first three days of release, the daily revenue was over 70 million. The fourth day was okay, the daily closing only dropped by 10 million.
But starting from the fifth day, the daily box office began to drop off a cliff.
The daily box office dropped by about 15 million on the fifth day, and dropped another 25 million on the sixth day.
By the seventh day, the daily box office was just over 20 million. Yesterday was the eighth day!
"One week after the release of "Tiny Times", the daily box office dropped to 16.7 million. After eight days, the total box office revenue was 360 million."
"There is no hope of a box office of 1 billion, no hope of a box office of 800 million, and whether it can even cross the 500 million threshold is unknown. It is absolutely impossible to surpass "To Youth"!"
"Even if the movie received bad reviews and had no reputation at all, the actual box office was significantly lower than expected. But Guo Jingming is already a successful commercial film director, and "Tiny Times" is also a very successful commercial film."
…
"The box office of "Blind Detective" on the first day was 17 million, and the attendance rate was extremely low."
"Most viewers are not interested in this movie..."
Lin Nan drove the car and set off towards China Film Group Corporation. The movie information on the radio made him speechless.
Liu Dehua's "Blind Detective", to put it bluntly, was completely compromised by his "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".
The two movies were released so close to each other. The first one was a big bad movie that was criticized by the whole Internet. It is impossible for the movie starring the latter one not to be affected.
"Andy Lau once again apologizes to fans and audiences, saying frankly that the negative reviews of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" are all his fault. It has nothing to do with other people or other movies. Please don't deliberately target "Blind Detective" and its crew members... "
Not far from the entrance of China Film Academy, Lin Nan saw Wang Changtian and Ye Ning's car, but he didn't even drive in.
"I'm waiting for you, let's go in together."
The windows of both cars were open, and Wang Changtian shouted to Lin Nan.
"OK."
Three cars passed through the gate one after another and drove to the parking area.
“Earlier, I was the vice president of China Film Import and Export Branch, and later I became the vice director and general manager of the co-production company.
Lin Nan's co-productions were supposed to be his responsibility, but all of them were handled by Director Han..."
The three of them walked together, and Wang Changtian suddenly muttered something, which only the three of them could hear.
China Film has many vice directors, and according to the rules, this matter will not be announced until the beginning of next year.
But everyone is in the circle, and obviously they all have their own channels.
"Let's go and meet the new leader after Director Han."
Lin Nan also said with a smile.
