"The Pretender" started airing last night. In just two episodes, it achieved a 5.74% viewership share and a 1.8% ratings.
This directly put this period suspenseful spy drama starring Hu Ge, Jin Dong, Liu Mintao, and Wang Kai at the top of the national TV drama ratings list at the same time.
One night later, the popularity of "The Pretender" has soared online, the number of topics has skyrocketed, and the ratings index has been rising; the industry can see that this drama is already going to be a hit.
At the same time, another TV series has also attracted the attention of many film and television companies in the industry, namely:
The large-scale oriental fantasy drama "Jiuzhou·Sea Muyun Ji" starring Huang Xuan, Dou Xiao, Zhou Yiwei, Xu Lu, Wen Yongshan, Jiang Qinqin, Wan Qian and others has officially started filming.
I heard that the promotional slogan of this TV series is another reference to the epic movie "The Lord of the Rings", and it is exactly the same slogan as the last "Legend" produced by LeTV.
You must know that any loud slogan will inevitably give people a "fake and empty" feeling if it is shouted too much;
Therefore, when Lin Nan saw this news, his subconscious reaction was: Another bad drama?
After the opening ceremony, he did not leave the school immediately.
How should I put it, although he is an associate professor who officially joined this semester, he is not considered a "newcomer" to Nortel.
But even so, the school still insisted on holding a reception banquet for him, which was also a welcome banquet for joining the company.
As a result, Director Lin had no choice but to stay and was invited into the canteen at noon.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look, the media reports are so fast:
In the morning, Director Lin Nan gave a 40-minute unscripted speech at the Nortel Opening Ceremony; he warned film school students about the first lesson of admission, entry into the industry, and career:
Stick to your heart, restrain your desires, constrain your behavior, and stay away from hidden rules; do not evade taxes, tax evasion, or tax evasion, and do not engage in pornography, gambling, or drugs; hone your acting skills, and actors are better than stars! "
Lao Jiang took his mobile phone and approached Lin Nan to joke; many professors and associate professors nearby couldn't help but smile.
"That's very good. There's no problem."
Before Lin Nan could speak, Tian Zhuangzhuang spoke up first.
"But it can only serve as a warning to the film and television industry and the entertainment industry. It is really not easy to be able to control yourself."
Lin Nan looked at everyone and smiled helplessly.
Today's welcome banquet, except for one school leader, basically everyone who came was familiar with Lin Nan;
Therefore, it is much easier to talk about some things, such as the filth in the circle.
"Come on, come on, eat some food... When course selection opens, your courses will definitely be snapped up."
Seeing that Lin Nan might be talking about some veteran actors and artists in the industry, or even the teaching team, the school leader quickly changed the subject.
In fact, Lin Nan was not prepared to go into detail, because it would be useless as it was all a deep-rooted old disease.
There are many "gentlemen" in the circle, and they all have a good image outside, but many of them are Yue Buqun, and they are the kind who are great at warding off evil swords but have no self-imposed palace!
"Oh, by the way, will the school anniversary next month conflict with your "Operation Mekong"?"
"Even if there is a conflict, wouldn't it be enough for the crew to take a day or two off?"
Lin Nan responded casually, unable to help but laugh in his heart. Many people changed the topic one after another, as if they were afraid that he would go back to it again.

In the afternoon, it seemed that Du Qifeng brought Tang Wei to the capital to promote the movie "Gorgeous Office Workers". There was a lot of news and the popularity was quite high.
The former said, "Sooner or later, he will have to make 3D movies when he comes out." He also told everyone very straightforwardly that this was his first 3D movie.
But when a musical and dance drama film is shot in 3D, it reminds people of Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" in last year's Lunar New Year film.
Let the audience go to the theater to watch musicals again? I’m afraid not many “idiots” would be willing!
A movie with a production cost of RMB 100 million, how much box office will it get in the end?
"Look, none of the leading actors in Hong Kong and Taiwan, including Zhou Runfa and Zhang Sylvia, are doing publicity. Only Tang Wei, an actor from the mainland, is following the director..."
"This is too disrespectful of Hairun, the producer, to spend money to find a bunch of Hong Kong and Taiwan tycoons?"
"Now that I think about it, Zhang Weiping was really right when he criticized Zhou Runfa for having no professional ethics and refusing to attend the promotion of the movie "The Golden Armor"!"
Shu Chang and Liu Yifei were chattering to each other and reading online comments while they were eating melon.
Mainly because some media published articles, pointing out that when Zhou Runfa participated in movies produced and controlled by the mainland, he almost never followed the publicity, which caused a lot of public opinion.
Lin Nan didn't care much about this. What do you say about Zhou Runfa? Even in Hong Kong circles, his popularity is quite average, maybe even worse.
As for Zhang Aijia? It seems that at last year's Golden Horse Awards, this Taiwanese actor who was the first to assist Chen Chong and Hou Hsiao-hsien publicly scolded and ridiculed Gong Li about the Golden Horse.
At this moment, Lin Nan's focus is on "Mermaid" because China Film, Shanghai Film, and Xinghui seem to have begun online marketing.
Starting from noon, many press releases suddenly appeared on the Internet, all of which recalled and missed Zhou Xingchi's past film works... In the end, "Mermaid" was more or less mentioned.
Some posts even shout out the slogan very straightforwardly:
For so many years, mainland audiences have almost always watched pirated and free movies. Many of us owe Stephen Chow (Master Xing) a movie ticket!
This marketing method is indeed very sentimental, but only Stephen Chow is qualified to be marketed in this way. If it were someone else, he would definitely be scolded instead of resonating with people.
But just as Lin Nan said at the beginning, this is to treat the sentiment accumulated by Stephen Chow over the past few decades as a fire, ignite and release it all at once!
For an afternoon, Lin Nan and his friends stayed at home and did not go out.
Jiang Xingrou called back from Venice again. The three movie rooms of "The Return of the Great Sage", "Blade Master 2" and "Go Away! Tumor" were all taken to the exhibition hall and the screenings were arranged.
Although there are still 24 hours before the opening ceremony, the three movies have already had a total of more than 20 interested film distributors, and they can proceed to the next step of negotiation after watching the finished film.
At this Venice International Film Festival, if we talk about which movie has received the most attention from domestic media, it must be Huayi's "Old Cannon".
In the news, Feng Xiaogang can be seen everywhere. He is active in front of the cameras of various media at home and abroad, and he has the "attitude" of a young man who wants to show his skills for the first time.
It seems that the little steel cannon has been "wronged" in China in recent years; he said that he did not yearn for foreign film festivals, but it was all a lie, just to comfort himself!
...
At night, Shu Chang stayed at Liu Yifei's place. She was also Miss Liu's "maid" at the wedding!
One night passed, and the time came to the 2nd. So far, the countdown is 7 days!
During breakfast, Wang Changtian called.
As for why he was so attentive, it was because in just two months, three films of Lin Nan Pictures contributed about 110 million in revenue to the distribution business of Guangxian!
"Almost all theaters have reported back that "Go Away! Tumor King" will be taken off the screen this morning, 5 days in advance."
"Is the daily box office completely gone?" Lin Nan asked.
"Less than 50,000, and do the scheduling also need to be allocated to those newly released movies?" Wang Changtian said bluntly.
"Then take it off the screen." Lin Nan said generously because the movie was already very respectable.
"Aren't you going to hold a celebration party for "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Mr. Tumor"? You know, these two movies add up to 20!"
Wang Changtian's tone was full of envy. He roughly calculated the total box office revenue of these three movies that could be shared with Lin Nan Pictures. It was really tempting!
"No, just treat it as a lucky draw for my wedding."
Lin Nan was in a good mood when he heard that number.
Sure enough, not long after hanging up Wang Changtian's phone, there was news on the Internet.
"Produced by Lin Nan Films and directed by Guo Fan, the film "Go Away Tumor" will be released today, and the final total box office of the film is set at 736 million!"
"It is reported that since July 3, the three films of Lin Nan Films, "The Return of the Great Sage", "Assassin 2", and "Go Away Tumor" have earned 2.812 billion in the film market; according to industry professionals, Lin Nan Films can get a total box office share of 998 million!"
"On the first day of the release of "Office Workers", the box office closed at 15.01 million, and the film's reputation and response were mediocre."
"The main theme movie "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" once again won more than 61 million yesterday, and the box office trend continued to advance by leaps and bounds..."
...
It seems that other movie information is no longer so attractive to the industry.
Because the entire film industry and film and television circles are eagerly watching the box office information of Lin Nan Films' three movies!
Just three movies, there are so many. Compared with the listed film and television companies in the entire industry that were affected by the stock market crash, it is really a world of sorrow and joy!
And the reason why Lin Nan Pictures has always refused to raise funds and go public was once again exposed nakedly, using box office and revenue!
At noon, the news of the official opening of the Venice International Film Festival was reported back to China.
At the same time, the second, third, and fourth guests from Hollywood who attended the wedding of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei also landed at the Capital Airport together, and were immediately "chased" by a group of media reporters.
The popularity of this entertainment news even quickly overshadowed the news related to the Venice International Film Festival, which was extremely eye-catching.
"Tom really loves to show off. He actually went to the airport to pick him up."
Liu Yifei joked with Lin Nan while stretching.
Although the two did not go to pick him up, they still had to meet; so, they were going to have lunch at the hotel!
"He's been on the entertainment news a lot these past two days."
Lin Nan laughed unhappily. He was always ready to deal with gossip and other things, but Tom seemed to be quite sensible and didn't cause him any trouble!
This guy would just go to a bar or club and find a few people to drink with him, just like Xu Zheng and Ning Hao did back then!
"There's no negative news, right?"
Liu Yifei guessed what Lin Nan was thinking and teased him with a smile.
Lin Nan smiled and nodded when he heard this. Many people in the circle have entertained Tom these days, and there must be some "corruption" during the period. It's rare for this guy to remain calm.
