Chapter 713 First Day

The only premiere of "Interstellar" in Asia has ended.

All media and filmmakers have given this film extremely high coverage and evaluation.

It is not an exaggeration to describe "Interstellar" with praise words such as "science fiction blockbuster" and "space epic".

At the same time, Miss Liu naturally became the most eye-catching focus at the premiere, occupying several headlines and hot searches.

"Christopher Nolan praised Liu Yifei as an excellent and hardworking actress who is born for the international stage."

"It's a sure thing! Director Lin Nan recommended Liu Yifei to the crew of "Interstellar", and the latter got the leading role without an audition!"

"Director Nolan revealed that the team had modified the movie script for Liu Yifei. The female astronaut role was originally the biological daughter of Professor John, the head of the alien project, but was later changed to an adopted daughter!"

"The Asian premiere of "Interstellar" was attended by many big names, including dozens of top directors and dozens of first-line and super-first-line actors and stars. The star-studded scene was comparable to the closing ceremony of a film festival."

"Wanda and many other domestic theaters said that they would increase the number of screenings of the imported blockbuster "Interstellar" so that more audiences can enjoy this top science fiction feast."

...

After an afternoon and a night of dissemination and fermentation, the popularity of "Interstellar" has reached a boiling point.

Countless netizens and movie fans stopped and looked at it, and their desire to watch the movie became even higher and more urgent.

After all, Nolan's movies have always been well-received, and this time there are Liu Yifei and Lin Nan's additions, so the expectations are directly maxed out!

The crew came and went in a hurry, and the schedule was only two days.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sent Nolan and others to the airport at around nine o'clock in the morning.

"Lin, I hope you can win the Oscars this time. See you in Hollywood." Nolan and Lin Nan hugged.

"Thank you."

"Lin, you and Crystal should come as soon as possible. The awards season has begun, and you can't miss the Oscars' public relations reception." Jessica reminded with a smile.

"You can't wait to go further, right?" Liu Yifei joked.

"Haha, yes. One best supporting actress is not enough, I want more..."

Hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing. Jessica's idea was beautiful. If Leonardo was here, he would definitely look at her with a white eye.

"Matt, what about you?"

"I have to wait two more days before I go with the crew."

The crew Matt Damon was talking about was The Great Wall.

It seems that the crew of The Great Wall is about to leave for Hollywood to participate in the closed training that lasts for several months.

At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Lin Nan's mind.

When he arrives in Hollywood later, if he has time, he can also visit the set and "broaden his horizons."

"See" the ancient Chinese costumes, props, weapons and armor designed by Legendary and Universal.

In addition, he was very curious about Zhang Yimou's mentality.

Because as a film director, he will definitely participate in the preparation of the film to a greater or lesser extent, such as those costumes, props, makeup photos and the like.

Watching everyone enter the terminal hall, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and Matt Damon prepared to return.

"Lin, Crystal, I have to tell you in advance. I may not be able to accompany you all the way to the PR party and the like, and can only attend occasionally. But I will definitely be there for the award ceremony and the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival. Haha..."

"Okay, no problem."

…………

There are only a dozen hours left before the official release of "Interstellar" in China.

Although it is on the hot search, it can't stop the blowout of press releases and traffic of other movies, such as the movie that brings together two "superstars".

"After several months of preparation, the movie "Old Cannon" was officially launched this morning by Huayi, directed by Guan Hu, and starring Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, Zhang Hanyu, Xu Qing, Liu Hua, Bai Jugang and others!"

"Ning Hao, the new director of the billion-dollar box office club, rarely appeared at the opening ceremony and will make a friendly guest appearance in the movie "Old Cannon"!"

"Popular idol superstars Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng are working together for the first time to participate in a commercial film. They are one of the core stars, and many powerful actors are supporting them."

This circle is like this. The more popular you are, the more friends you have.

The movie "Old Cannon" has made half of the actors and artists in the entertainment industry flatter it, and it feels like it has already been booked as the box office champion as soon as it started filming.

Especially the two young ones, the amount of topics on the Internet has exploded.

In the eyes of fans, their idols have made it into the top domestic film circle, and they have collaborated with three big directors in one movie. They are undoubtedly superstars!

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei did not go home, but went directly to the company. Because Hou Hongliang had just arrived, Jiang Xingrou was receiving them.

It is said that the first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. Hou Hongliang came here this time, and he seemed much calmer and calmer than last year.

When he saw Lin Nan and Liu Yifei walking into the reception room, he stood up and greeted them enthusiastically:

"I came in time. In a few days, Director Lin will probably leave for Hollywood, right?"

"Yes, there is such a plan. Producer Hou, sit down and talk."

As Hou Hongliang sat down, he reached out and took the file bag handed by the assistant beside him.

"I brought the script for The Disguiser. Director Kong Sheng just started filming Two Families in Wenzhou these past two days, and the company is really a bit stretched, so I came to bother Director Lin again."

Lin Nan didn't pay much attention to the other party's polite tone, but noticed the name of the script.

"The Disguiser?" He picked up the script.

Hou Hongliang nodded, "Yes, Director Li Xue will direct this drama. He directed the recently aired "Noon Sunshine All Quiet", but that is not a drama of Noon Sunshine, it is an external drama."

After saying this, Hou Hongliang glanced at Lin Nan and Liu Yifei who were casually flipping through the script, "If there are actors interested in Shanhai Media, you can come and try."

Lin Nan knew that this was also a polite remark and didn't take it seriously.

"How much investment does Noon Sunshine need?"

"At least 60%. The cost of TV drama production is very high now, and the actor's salary has increased too fast. Compared with last year, this year is a different price.

Director Kong Sheng and I are still joking that if this continues, only Internet companies and listed film and television companies will be able to shoot TV dramas in the future."

Lin Nan did not refute Hou Hongliang's words, and even Liu Yifei and Jiang Xingrou beside him nodded in agreement.

Because if we only talk about the pay, TV actors generally earn more than movie actors, much more, and their pay increases faster.

Of course, the first-tier ones are excluded, because the difference in advertising endorsements they can receive is also very large.

The advertising endorsements of first-tier movie actors are generally more advanced and expensive than those of first-tier TV actors; actors and artists involved in both movies and TV series are in the middle; the polarization is also very serious.

"Sixty percent, yes. But there is a prerequisite."

Several people looked at Lin Nan, and Hou Hongliang immediately said: "Director Lin, please speak."

"Copyright, Lin Nan Pictures will give priority to purchasing online broadcasting rights."

"No problem." Hou Hongliang responded instantly.

No one in the industry doesn't know that Lin Nan is a major shareholder of Tudou, and Tudou's purchasing power for film and television copyrights can be said to be a bit "crazy"!

Like the last "Nirvana in Fire", the final casting list of "The Pretender" will still ask Lin Nan's opinion.

At the end of the chat, Hou Hongliang said that they really have a good impression of Hu Ge.

Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh. Hu Ge was lucky. Although Tangren was not good, he was appreciated by Noon Sunshine and had more opportunities.

…………

It was indeed mid-November, and there were many more social events in the circle.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei returned home and counted the invitations brought back from Lin Nan's film and sent by Red Star Studio. There were more than a dozen!

They were all invitations to domestic films to be released in the second half of November and December, all from big directors or big crews.

"Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" is a bit uncertain. I don't know if it will be in time? "The Crossing" seems to be unavoidable. We still have to give face to President Han; Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming's "The Best Life for a Coquettish Woman", Lou Ye's "Tuina"..."

Lin Nan looked through these invitations and muttered helplessly.

Liu Yifei answered the phone on the side, answering for Lin Nan, and was also full of resentment.

"Teacher Jiang, the school is too good at ordering people around, right? They clearly said that we would go back to select courses and teach in the second half of the year, but why are we having to recruit men to prepare for the art exam now... We were very busy during that time, and it is basically certain that we are not in the country..."

Miss Liu expressed her dissatisfaction like a fierce wife who protects her husband.

Lin Nan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and was very satisfied.

"Haha, Yifei, don't rush to refuse. The school knows that you are going to participate in the film festival, and they didn't think that they must come back to be an examiner for the art exam.

How about this, let him come back in the next two days to record a promotional video and posters for art exam recruitment and publicity, what do you think?"

Liu Yifei pouted, looked at Lin Nan, and lip-synced in a speechless manner: "Look, he is retreating to advance!"

Lin Nan smiled and nodded, agreeing. This kind of thing can be done in two or three hours.

"Okay, Teacher Jiang. Lin Nan will go back to school in the next two days."

Liu Yifei softened instantly and agreed.

"Okay, I'll wait for him. This time, I'll personally shoot for him.

In addition, I have to say one thing. Yifei, you really look like the boss! Haha..."

"Ah?"

Miss Liu was stunned for a moment, then a smile spread across her face, and she was very happy, "Well, not bad, I have the final say in our family!"

Well, Liu Yifei, who was just smart, was fooled by Lao Jiang's flattery.

…………

Overnight, the film industry has entered a solemn atmosphere.

Before the Lunar New Year this year, the most powerful imported blockbuster "Interstellar" was officially released. And it will also be in the Lunar New Year in December, lasting for 11 days.

Many production companies in the industry have paid attention to the scheduling data of the theaters.

As expected, as reported by the media before, the average scheduling rate of "Interstellar" on the first day reached 41.2%, which is a high number!

And looking at the movie information on the Internet and the photos of the scene, the attendance rate is also not low.

After the premiere ceremony on the 10th, Liu Yifei was full of confidence in the domestic film reviews and reputation of "Interstellar".

So this morning, she slept in as usual, and only waited until the afternoon to read the film reviews online, and the first day box office results will be announced tomorrow!

At the same time, the news that "Wolf Warrior" was submitted for review also came out in the morning, attracting attention and discussion in the industry.

"Exclusively produced by Hongxingwu and directed by Wu Gao, starring Wu Gao, Yu Nan, Ni Dahong and others, the modern military-themed movie "Wolf Warrior" has completed post-production, and the finished film has been submitted to the Film Bureau for review."

"It is reported that the movie "Wolf Warrior" is the second commercial film directed by Wu Gan, and it is also the first movie that Liu Yifei fully produced and invested in."

…

"Film investment is inherently risky, especially military-themed movies like this, which are really not a hit!"

"I used to follow Director Lin and participate in Lin Nan Pictures' films. This time I invest by myself, and it's still a full investment! Liu Yifei is probably going to lose the first battle!"

"You can't say that. Do you know that Director Lin didn't check for Miss Liu? Besides, Director Lin has the whole story. It's just a movie, so we can afford the compensation!"

"It hasn't been released yet, so it's too early to say this. Maybe Producer Liu made the right bet and made a profit from "Wolf Warrior"? After all, Wu Gan is still very good at fighting!"

…

Unlike there are many supportive netizens, fans and fans on the Internet, the industry is full of boos.

Almost all film and television companies are not optimistic about "Wolf Warrior" and feel that Liu Yifei will destroy Lin Nan's brand this time.

There were many people waiting to watch the excitement, and it could basically be said that they were all there for Lin Nan.

When arriving at the company, Lin Nan also received a call from Wang Changtian, talking about the same thing.

Lao Wang was a thief at first. When Wu Bala invested, he was not optimistic about it, so he didn't give it. In the end, he also got the publishing business of "Wolf Warrior".

He came here to comfort Lin Nan, saying that when the time came, he would ask people to increase the issuance, and Wanda would definitely give him face.

"I say, Mr. Wang, please look forward to it. I think the movie Wu Gen is quite good."

One sentence made Wang Changtian stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Did I get punched in the eye? Don't bluff me? This kind of movie can only make a profit at most. It's a bit difficult to make money."

"Then just wait and see. It seems that Wu Dan wants to schedule it in the first half of next year. It won't be long."

Lin Nan motioned to his assistant to put the documents on the table while talking on the phone with Wang Changtian.

"Then we'll see when the time comes. RayLight distributes it. I also hope that "Wolf Warrior" can make a profit. I'm calling you today mainly to talk about "囧囧". Xu Zheng is about to open a visiting team. Do you want to come along?" Come and show up?”

Lin Nan didn't think much about it and refused decisively, "Forget it, I will just split the box office with myself, but I don't want to participate too much."

Not long ago, Lin Nan still vividly remembered how Xu Zheng and Dong Ping tried their best to lobby Ning Hao at his home.

If he were to visit a class now, Xu Zheng would probably have to win over him, which would be quite annoying.

"Okay, I'll go there by myself."

"Um."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan flipped through the documents on the table, some of which required signature.

"Huh? Why are there still posts about Golden Horse?"

The assistant took a look and reacted:

"Director Lin, this was just delivered this morning. It will be opening there in a week, and they said they really hope you can be there as a guest of honor..."

"I've already declined once, how can I agree now? I still push it as usual."

After saying this, Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh:

"Last year, I went to present an award to repay a favor, and I even criticized their host. You actually want to invite me to present an award this year? Has the host changed?"

"Haha, it seems that it has indeed changed. Everyone is saying that mainland movies will win this year, especially Gong Li..." the assistant said with a smile.

…………

In the afternoon, movie reviews of "Interstellar" began to appear online one after another, and gradually swept the screen, igniting the entire Internet.

"Awesome! I can't say any other words of praise other than awesome."

"This is real science fiction, a science fiction blockbuster supported by theory! Traveling through black holes, space jumps, interstellar travel, and the world is so close!"

"I highly recommend the IMAX version. The shots and images are simply stunning."

"The male protagonist played by Matthew McConaughey left his son and his daughter when they were still children. When they met again, he had not changed, but his daughter was already old and dying - on earth, she had passed away. Hundreds of years have passed..."

"One hour is 7 years on earth! There are many such legends in our ancient mythology. Once you go into the mountains, you will come back to a changed world, a changed world!"

"No wonder Director Lin Nan recommended Producer Liu to star in this movie. This is a science fiction masterpiece that will definitely enter film history!"

"Liu Yifei's female astronaut is also very eye-catching. She is dashing and beautiful! I heard that the crew's spacesuit is indeed very heavy. Xiao Longnu is indeed a 'martial arts practitioner'!"

"Well, have you seen the biceps that Liu Yifei posted on Weibo? They are very capable! Sympathize with Director Lin for five minutes..."

"Uh... pretty good, Director Lin, hold on!"

"Good guy, will Director Lin Nan be beaten by Liu Yifei? I'm looking forward to it..."

"I'm off topic... This movie is destined to hit the box office, it's so awesome!"

…

Facts have proved that the reputation of "Interstellar" has completely exploded, and it has been completely one-sided!

The actresses in the industry already knew about this result at the premiere ceremony the day before yesterday, but now they can't help but feel sour when they see the hot discussion on the Internet.

No matter who the heroine of this movie is, she is destined to be one of the masterpieces of her career.

There is no doubt that your net worth and status will skyrocket!

"Finding a boyfriend or husband who is a great director is indeed a shortcut..."

"Hollywood S-class production, leading actress, global distribution, great reputation, box office will definitely not be low... She has completely become an international celebrity!"

…

In the afternoon, when Lin Nan returned home. As expected, Ms. Liu was happily scrolling through Weibo there, rubbing her cheek against the cat in her arms from time to time.

"Everyone on the Internet praises you, right? And that group of people in the circle?" Lin Nan joked.

"Yeah, yeah, you guessed it right! They said this movie has the potential to break 1 billion in China. If that's true, this will be my second movie."

Liu Yifei said with excitement.

"After seven days of release in North America, the box office is close to 100 million U.S. dollars. Excluding the mainland, the global box office is approaching 200 million U.S. dollars..."

Listening to the data reported by Lin Nan, Liu Yifei's eyes widened a bit. She was very pretty, and with that delicate face, it was simply too tempting.

"This kind of movie is rare. I don't know when it will happen next time. But this time, we caught it."

Holding Liu Yifei's face, Lin Nan couldn't help but take a bite, but Miss Liu instantly turned her back and pushed her down on the sofa...

Even the cats meowed away, probably cursing in their hearts. After all, I had been to a pet hospital and couldn’t bear to see such a scene!

…………

The next morning, the entire film industry was paying close attention to the box office data of "Interstellar".

When seeing the movie information on the Internet, everyone has mixed feelings.

Especially for the producers who have movies to be released in the second half of the month and early December, it is as uncomfortable and disgusting as eating a fly, because this opponent is a bit too powerful!

"Produced by Warner Bros., directed by Christopher Nolan, starring Matthew McConaughey, Liu Yifei, Jessica Chastain... Matt Damon and others.

The space science fiction masterpiece "Interstellar" with an investment of 170 million US dollars, grossed 110 million at the box office on the first day of its domestic release, and was well received by the entire network! "

"Wanda and other theaters have once again increased the number of films scheduled for "Interstellar" today, and the proportion of films scheduled has reached as high as 45%!"

"According to analysis by industry insiders, "Interstellar" will most likely dominate the box office during the Lunar New Year season in mainland China this year.

Domestic blockbusters such as "Peace Wheel (Part 1)" and "One Step Away" are bound to face tremendous pressure and challenges! "

…

The theater chain doesn't care whether it's an imported film or a domestic film. As long as it makes money, it will schedule more films for you.

They even prefer imported films, because the producers of imported films share 25% instead of 43%. While the distributor, China Film or Huaxia Film Company, makes more money, the theaters will naturally also be able to share more profits!

It was another low-spirited morning. Liu Yifei was hiding in bed refreshed, with only her head exposed, and her big eyes flashed at Lin Nan.

"Sure enough, there were only tired cows."

"Hahaha, you're talking nonsense."

Liu Yifei smiled and said something, rolling her eyes with a groan. Her exposed shoulders were extremely white and smooth, and her attractive buttocks could be clearly seen from her waist wrapped in quilt.

The goblin is right in front of you, but Master Lin has done his best.

It's like this every time. I have the advantage in the early stage. I charge into battle time and time again, killing the enemy until they retreat, leaving behind their armor;

But in the mid-term, they start to become evenly matched, and you come and go;

When it comes to the later stages, it will be a big deal. Attacking and defending are in different positions, and the initiative lies in the hands of the goblin in front of you. He can take it all...

"Okay, just stay in bed, I have to go to the company."

Lin Nan looked in the mirror and saw that there seemed to be no bags or dark circles under his eyes, and then he said with relief.

"Hmm, I can't wait for long. I also made an appointment with Changchang today to go shopping together."

Liu Yifei said a little arrogantly, she shrank into the quilt and stretched.

Immediately afterwards, a long leg popped out unexpectedly, gently rubbed against Lin Nan, and giggled.

"Since you don't want to continue sleeping in, then get up."

As he spoke, Lin Nan grabbed the long smooth legs with a joking expression on his face.

"Yeah, don't, I haven't put it on yet..."
