Chapter 528: Set a Goal of 1 Billion Box Office First
Early in the morning, the media and the Internet were full of news about "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom."
"Directed by director Lin Nan and produced by Liu Yifei, starring Han Sanping, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing and others, the commercial blockbuster "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was officially completed yesterday evening."
"It is reported that the main creative members of the film crew will return to Beijing today."
"Since the filming of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", the media has never been allowed to visit the team. The confidentiality is very high and the outside world knows very little."
…
When we came to the set, everyone came one after another.
If we want to go back together now, we will inevitably have to form a group.
"All staff and equipment have been arranged on the trains and have set off. As for the guns, cannons and the like, the Bayi Factory will handle them."
Guo Fan simply reported to Lin Nanhui. To expect another assistant director to worry about this kind of thing is simply overthinking.
"Lin Nan Pictures, Tiangong Color, Bayi Film Studio, and Beijing Film Studio have more than 80 staff members in total. They have to arrange high-speed trains." Lin Nan nodded.
At this time, all the creators were packing their bags and preparing to leave for the airport.
"Come and help."
Liu Yifei shouted to Lin Nan who had just finished talking to Guo Fan in the corridor.
"Coming."
When you walk into the room, you can see four large suitcases, and the assistant is helping Ms. Liu pack them.
In about half an hour, the hotel entrance was crowded with people, with at least two or three boxes per person.
More than a dozen cars were lined up, and assistants were stuffing luggage into the trunks.
There were many people watching from a distance, many of them holding mobile phones or cameras.
Everyone knows that a group of actors and stars are filming movies here, and today I have seen most of them.
It took twenty minutes to sign autographs and take photos, and it couldn't be any longer because we had to leave in a hurry.
As the motorcade drove towards the city, photos of the main creators appeared on the Internet: "The crew of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" set off to return to Beijing..."
"Before boarding the plane later, put on a casual jacket. With the temperature in the capital, there is no need to wear a down jacket."
Liu Yifei leaned against Lin Nan and reminded her thoughtfully.
"Well, it's up to you."
Lin Nan also leaned against Miss Liu and responded softly, and the two of them closed their eyes to rest together.
…………
"Fu Chun Detective" began to use the trick of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains": reverse marketing, the darker, the more popular!
In one week, the total box office reached 150 million.
Relying on a large number of negative reviews, the film managed to maintain a daily box office of 12 million.
But after all, it cannot be compared with "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". After all, the latter has a massive amount of product placement and there is no pressure to repay the money.
And when "Fuji Detective" learns this trick, he is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench his thirst.
But it is somewhat helpless and ironic that this movie had to drink poison to quench its thirst, and its box office figures must be higher.
Because Ray's stock price has been falling for seven consecutive days.
Although the daily decline is not too large, the accumulation is also very scary. The key is that the stock price is falling. I don’t know when it will end!
Listed companies in the film and television industry are like this, with movies as their core products.
Whether a film is successful or not, the impact will be directly reflected on its stock price and market value in a short period of time, which is very worrying.
Wang Changtian has tried his best these days, but with little success.
He felt that he needed some stimulation from external good news, such as "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom".
"In the name of the company, let's send out a press release. To celebrate the successful completion of "Taking Tiger Mountain" produced by our investment, let's be more solemn... I have already sent a message to Lin Nan and the others."
"Okay, Director Wang."
…………
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei slept through the more than two-hour flight. They were too tired last night.
After getting off the plane, when a group of people walked towards the exit, the turnaround rate was really high, and many people stopped.
"Our large group of people is a bit conspicuous. We will definitely not be able to avoid those long guns and short cannons in a while."
Lin Nan joked that he just wanted to go back and catch up on his sleep. But he also knows that not everyone wants to avoid the camera.
"Director Lin's film deserves a lot of attention. There must be a lot of reporters outside at the moment."
Huang Xiaoming wore big sunglasses and answered with a smile. Fan Bingbing and Zhang Hanyu also nodded.
"Beauty, come back to China Film Academy with me." Han Sanping asked his daughter.
"oh."
…
The weather in the capital was indeed not comparable to that in Mudanjiang. Just a few minutes after getting off the plane, I could clearly feel the heat.
Outside the airport.
Everyone expected in advance that there might be a lot of media reporters, but we didn’t expect there to be so many!
As soon as a group of people came out, they heard someone outside shouting "come out".
Immediately afterwards, Lin Nan and others were surrounded by more than thirty reporters.
Fortunately, the assistants worked hard and opened the way ahead, taking everyone to an open area without blocking traffic.
There is definitely no way to hide from this interview.
"Let's fight quickly." Lin Nan joked.
"Director Lin, Guangguang's draft emphasized that "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is a commercial film with a main theme. Do you think the combination of "main theme" and "commercial film" can be successful?"
Everyone looked at Lin Nan, waiting for his answer.
Because as early as when the project of "Taking Tiger Mountain" was announced, a large number of people in the industry had objections to his proposed "main theme commercial film" and believed that Lin Nan was taking a risk.
They believe that the main theme is the main theme, and commercial films are commercial films. Preaching and entertainment cannot be combined at all.
Unless there is policy support and private screenings, main theme movies cannot have high box office.
This question really hits the nail on the head for Lin Nan.
“The focus of main theme commercial films must be commercial films, with less traces of preaching, and no dry chicken soup.”
“The core of commercial films is always the story. And “Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy” tells the story of the main theme in the way of commercial films.
I am confident that it will definitely be a commercial film with very good box office. Well, let’s set a box office target of 1 billion first.”
As he spoke, Lin Nan also glanced at the actors around him and half-jokingly mentioned a box office target.
Hearing the number of 1 billion, the eyes of a group of reporters instantly lit up. The first important material for today is here!
…
"Director Lin, what do you think of Tiny Times, which was released today? This is a series of movies that Yang Mi took on when she was still at Shanhai Media."
"What do you think? I'll go back and take a nap, and then I'll watch it with my own eyes when I remember it." Lin Nan said with a smile.
"Director Guo Jingming has spoken out several times, saying that the film industry is xenophobic, excluding and attacking him as a new director. Director Lin, as a top director in the industry, do you have anything to say?"
"Haha, I haven't attacked anyone. Of course, those with crooked butts don't count..."
…
Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing... Tong Liya, all of them were asked by the media.
Even Liu Yifei, who was next to Lin Nan, was asked by reporters about her feelings as a producer in the crew, and about the snowball fight that Shu Chang mentioned on Weibo.
Sometimes, I have to admire these media reporters, who really dare to ask anyone and ask any sharp questions.
The most tempting ones should always be left to the end. For example: Han Sanping.
"Director Han, when Director Lin invited you to play the role of 'Zuoshan Diao', did you ever refuse or get angry? What do you think of playing this role?"
Lin Nan and others subconsciously looked at Han Sanping, and there was a dead silence.
"Haha, if you didn't refuse, how could you get angry? It's quite interesting to play this role, and it also supports Lin Nan's main theme movie."
How can you lie with your eyes open? And with a smile on your face, saying it so naturally and as it should be? !
"What about the pay? How much did the crew pay you?"
Several actors were confused. Is this a question? Han Sanping has a public office, although he will retire in only two months.
"Before retirement, I can play a main theme commercial blockbuster and make some contributions to the domestic film industry. It doesn't matter whether I get paid or not. I am also very happy to act for free..."
After an hour of delay, everyone separated outside the airport and got on their respective cars to pick them up.
"I really admire Mr. Han. It seems that I invited him without any effort. He almost gave me money!"
Sitting in the car, Lin Nan complained for a long time, and Liu Yifei also laughed non-stop.
The interview outside the airport was soon on the film and entertainment news, attracting the attention of the entire film and television industry.
"The crew of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" arrived at the Capital Airport at noon."
"Director Lin Nan set a box office target of 1 billion yuan."
"Director Han of China Film Group played the role of Zuoshan Diao for free and made contributions to the domestic film industry..."
"Director Lin said that his schedule is very full and he has no plans to attend the Golden Rooster Awards..."
…………
The first thing Lin Nan did when he returned home was to sleep. Liu Yifei was pulled away by her mother to have a private conversation.
The calls from the circle, greeting text messages, and invitations to activities were all blocked outside.
It was not until after five o'clock in the afternoon that Lin Nan woke up and was a little hungry.
After turning on the phone, a large number of missed calls and text messages proved that many people had contacted him during this period.
"Director Lin, the premiere of Blind Detective, the premiere of Man of Tai Chi, the press conference of The Crossing..."
"I regret returning your call. You can do whatever you want. I'm too lazy to go." Lin Nan said with a chuckle.
"By the way, let Tiangong Color start the special effects and post-editing of Taking Tiger Mountain as soon as possible. We'll talk about it in two days."
"Okay, Director Lin."
After Lin Nan hung up the phone, he noticed the news online.
"Tiny Times" has become the top headline of major portals.
A large number of photos taken from the cinema show that this movie is going to be a hit.
In the cinema, there are basically long queues for the screenings of "Tiny Times", and most of the ticket buyers are young girls.
In the photos, countless girls organized to write the words "Support "Tiny Times"" on their faces and arms with oil paint, almost like they were possessed.
The cinema's screening rate is also surprisingly high, with a base rate of 37%, and the screening rate in more than 20 cities reaching more than 45%, which is a complete monopoly.
In the media reports, Guo Jingming seems to be destined to become a new commercial film director, just like Zhao Wei two months ago.
"Do you want to eat?"
Liu Yifei's crisp voice came.
Lin Nan looked up and saw her without makeup, with a delicate face and a playful smile.
"Just got up?"
"Hey, how do you know?"
"If you get up early, I won't wake up naturally."
Lin Nan smiled, got up and hugged her in his arms, "You will definitely wake me up."
"Oh, how can you slander me?
Hurry up, your mother-in-law has cooked a few dishes. She hasn’t cooked in a long time. You are in for a treat..."
Liu Yifei still didn’t admit it, took Lin Nan’s hand, and walked out.
