Chapter 592: The Era of Single-Day Box Office Exceeding 100 Million
At about 5:20 pm, Lin Nan landed at the Capital Airport.
The atmosphere of the Spring Festival here is more intense, after all, it is the capital.
Maybe it is because it is the first day of the Lunar New Year. The outside of the airport is much quieter than before, and there are only a few media reporters.
Lin Nan pulled the suitcase out and saw Liu Yifei's car from a distance.
He walked quickly and got into the back seat before the reporters caught up.
"Changchang, drive."
Liu Yifei happily hugged Lin Nan's arm and shouted to Shu Chang in the driver's seat.
"You actually sit in the back seat, it's rare."
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei's fair face and joked.
Before Miss Liu could speak, Shu Chang, who was wearing big sunglasses in front, spoke first: "She is a big lady, she can order me around."
"Who made you lose the game for a whole morning!"
"I, hum..."
Shu Chang, who was in the wrong, had nothing to say, and could only hum to express his protest.
At this time, Liu Yifei talked about the movie:
"The attendance rate of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is very high. I heard from Senior Brother Yue Jun that it is over 90%."
Lin Nan is confident about this.
"It's not surprising. Our publicity has been done to the extreme. As I said, Mr. Han's "Zuoshan Diao" is worth at least 300 million yuan in box office!"
Hearing this, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang couldn't help laughing, "Haha, it's true. Many people on the Internet have this reason for watching movies."
Shu Chang was not as impetuous as Liu Yifei when driving. His speed was neither fast nor slow, just right.
While talking, Lin Nan's photo at the Capital Airport had already been refreshed and appeared in the entertainment information.
News in the circle spread quickly.
When the three of them just got home, several calls came in.
"Ask me for dinner? Forget it. You asked me to have dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year. What's the matter? Can't stay at home anymore?"
Lin Nan said a joke, and Ning Hao on the other end of the phone was stunned instantly.
Liu Yifei, who was standing next to him, covered her mouth and chuckled, dragging Shu Chang back to the villa, "Xixi, what are you laughing at..."
Lin Nan picked up the phone and looked at it. Did he hang up? "Talk."
"Maybe it's menopause? On New Year's Eve, you checked my phone for no reason."
Fuck?
When Ning Hao said this, Lin Nan became interested, "Did you find out?"
"Fuck you, you were found out."
Ning Hao first retorted, then said:
"I don't think it's a big deal, just a few New Year's greetings from actresses, expressing some 'admiration'..."
"Hey, why don't you talk anymore?"
Lin Nan ignored him and quickly browsed his text message records. Well, they are all serious, so it's okay.
"Nothing. Are you still in a cold war now?"
"Why do you think I asked you out for dinner? Today is the first day of the new year, and few people are idle. I saw you were back, so I asked you out.
Alas, when the Berlin Film Festival opens in two days, I will fly over immediately and spend ten days of peace and quiet..."
Lin Nan wanted to go to the dinner, but he looked in the direction of the villa and decisively gave up the idea.
"Director Ning, I can't help you, brother, you wish for the best, bye."
"Alas, I..."
Lin Nan hung up the phone, hummed a completely out-of-tune song, and entered the villa.
...
This Spring Festival Gala made Tangren's contracted artists "become famous overnight" and their value doubled.
However, the overwhelming press releases only maintained their popularity for one day before being strongly suppressed by the information of several Spring Festival movies.
On the first day of February, Lin Nan set an alarm.
After turning on his phone, as he expected, it was full of news.
"Produced by Huayi, "The Ex-Files" closed at 4.89 million on the first day, surviving in the cracks!"
"Produced jointly by Bonar and China Star, directed by Wang Jing, starring Chow Yun-fat, Jing Tian, Nicholas Tse and others, "The Man from Macau" closed at 24.2 million on the first day, which was average and far below the expected target."
...
The focus of the entire film and television industry is on the box office data of "Havoc in Heaven" and "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".
"Starring Zhen Zidan, Chow Yun-fat, Guo Fucheng, He Rundong and others, the 3D mythological blockbuster "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", with an investment of up to 500 million, closed at 79.8 million on the first day. If there is Yu, why is there Liang..."
A thought came to everyone's mind:
If there is no "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", then "Havoc in Heaven", with a box office of 79.8 million on the first day, is very likely to be the overlord of this Spring Festival.
But, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is even more abnormal!
"Produced jointly by Lin Nan Pictures, China Film Group, Wanda, and Guangguang, directed by Lin Nan, produced by Liu Yifei, starring Han Sanping, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing and others.
The main theme commercial blockbuster "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" closed at 110 million yuan on the day of its release, breaking the..."
110 million?
This number is simply scary!
The media has given a lot of reports:
"Lin Nan's work "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" successfully broke the first-day box office record and single-day box office record for domestic films with a first-day box office of 110 million."
"A month ago, director Feng Xiaogang broke the single-day box office record held by "Bad Genius" with "Private Tailor". A month later, it was taken back by director Lin Nan again..."
...
The first-day box office data of several movies are still on the screen in the media.
The film industry has been completely shocked.
Will domestic movies enter the era of over 100 million box office on the first day?
A large number of netizens on the Internet, while marveling at the box office data, also commented on several movies.
"This is the first time I didn't feel sleepy while watching a main theme movie. Not only is the plot compact, it's also very exciting!"
"Director Lin is a great director. He has changed my stereotype of movies with the main theme."
"After watching "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", I really know how difficult it was for the martyrs! Cherish now..."
"Master Han's 'mountain eagle' is so domineering!"
…
"What the hell is "Havoc in Heaven" about?"
"Facts have proven that the Hong Kong Island team is not only bad at making historical films, but also mythological films."
"Sun Wukong is causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and the filming is so stupid that he looks like a retarded person."
"Isn't this movie about the Bull Demon King causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace?"
"The photo of Erlang Shen looks so vulgar! Is this a deliberate insult to my true Lord Zhaohui Xiansheng Erlang, right?"
"Princess Iron Fan has become the sister of the Jade Emperor? Yang Jian has an aunt! The Bull Demon King has become his uncle!"
"The Jade Emperor personally takes action? Is there anyone left in heaven?"
"Who do you want? This is a 'family matter' between the Jade Emperor, my uncle, and my brother-in-law, the Bull Demon King!"
…
The film that netizens criticized the most was "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven."
The plot of this movie is really a random change, but it is not as completely subverted as "Westward Journey".
Nowadays, the finished films in theaters are completely different, relying entirely on star casts and special effects to attract audiences.
Lin Nan's phone was almost flooded with messages of congratulations.
La Peikang, Wang Changtian, Han Sanping... Ren Zhonglun, Yang Shoucheng, and even Yu Dong, Qin Hong... Wang Zhonglei and others.
In addition, a large number of directors, producers, and actors in the industry all left text messages or Weibo messages.
…
Liu Yifei and Shu Chang each had a tablet computer and watched the excitement online.
"Teacher Six once again stood up and stood at the forefront of resisting "Havoc in Heaven."
Shu Chang clicked his tongue and sighed, "I'll read it to you."
"It is an extremely shameless act to tamper with the content of a famous novel and tamper with the relationships between characters.
In the name of "Journey to the West" and "Havoc in Heaven", filming the plot of the "Young and Dangerous" fighting over territory is a blasphemy against the classics.
I sincerely call on viewers across the Internet to boycott the film "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven," and strongly demand that theaters across the country remove the film from shelves, and the producer must apologize..."
Shu Chang imitated Teacher Six's tone of voice so vividly that both Lin Nan and Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh.
"Remember, you worked with Teacher Six in "The Secret of the City", and they had quite a few opposite roles. Haha..." Liu Yifei joked.
"Are you promoting his "Journey to the West" movie?" Lin Nan asked curiously.
Shu Chang scratched the tablet with his finger and shook his head, "No."
"Then it seems like I'm really angry this time. I didn't even promote my upcoming movie "Journey to the West"!"
Lin Nan expressed his judgment.
…………
The atmosphere of the Spring Festival is quite strong.
The next day, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" once again took in 105 million at the box office.
The three movies "The House of Heaven", "Macau" and "The Ex-Raiders" had 82.1 million, 23.65 million and 3.66 million respectively.
At this moment, the industry finally believes that domestic movies have truly ushered in an era of over 100 million box office in a single day.
At this time, the movie market has almost been divided up by several movies released on New Year's Day.
And "The Fairy Tale," which sounds like a bad movie, was released at this time, and it looked like a death sentence.
Lin Nan hadn't noticed before that there was Hu Ge in this movie, but the look was a bit shocking, but Guo Degang's makeup was even more eye-catching.
Many netizens have already concluded in advance: 99% of Guo Degang's movies are bad!
…
It's only the third day of the Spring Festival, and many people are still enjoying the holiday.
But the film and television industry is different. There are already crews starting filming, and there are two movies that have made a big impact.
"Produced by Xiaoma, starring Peng Yuyan, Ni Nai and others, the youth romance film "The Year in a Hurry" officially starts filming today."
As mentioned in Xiaoma's previous announcement, the film and television projects are really operating as usual, which makes the industry's eyes brighten.
However, most people in the industry are paying attention to Chen Kaige.
"The Republic of China fantasy martial arts film "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain," directed by Director Chen Kaige and starring Wang Baoqiang, Aaron Kwok, Zhang Zhen, Fan Wei, and Lin Chiling, held a launch ceremony in Jinyun Xiandu in the morning..."
"It is reported that "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" is the first martial arts-themed film directed by Chen Kaige. It is worth looking forward to!"
If other people's movies were released, they might not have such a big influence, but it's different with Chen Kaige.
Although it has been on the decline for so many years, the three words "Chen Kaige" still carry a lot of weight.
Lin Nan liked Chen Hong's Weibo. After all, the big directors in the industry had sent their blessings. If he didn't follow, it would be a bit conspicuous.
The box office and attendance of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" are extremely strong. Lin Nan has been the "top star" in the industry these two days.
Many media wanted to interview him, but they were all rejected by him. He works in a high profile and lives in a low profile!
"When the Spring Festival holiday is over and the company gets back to work, the scripts for "Xiu Chun Knife 2" and "Flower Thousand Bones" can be submitted for review. After that, the project will be approved, cast will be selected, and filming will begin!"
Lin Nan was planning what to do in the next few days.
However, the casting of this movie and a TV series is probably a big project, especially the TV series.
So, Lin Nan doesn't need to worry about it. He just needs to look at the final list and approve or replace the actors.
