Chapter 534 Best Man

The "Tiny Times", which had been "vibrantly" arguing for nearly twenty days, has completely collapsed.

Its box office was expected to be high, and it died young without surprise.

It did not reach the 1 billion goal that Guo Jingming and his fans shouted at the top of their lungs when it was first released, nor did it get the 800 million box office that was second best.

It even failed to cross the 500 million threshold that it looked down upon at the beginning, as if it could be easily crossed by raising its foot.

"As of yesterday, the total box office of "Tiny Times" closed at 480 million, and the daily box office fell below 50,000, and its potential was exhausted."

"Faced with box office data that was far from expectations, fans of "Tiny Times" bluntly said that this was the result of being suppressed."

"In front of the media camera, Guo Jingming called on the relevant departments to rectify the market atmosphere, and cried again with tears that he was "excluded" and "bullied" by the film industry!"

"The producer said that "Tiny Times" would not be taken off the screen in advance. Guo Jingming and a group of leading actors will meet with fans on the 8th of next month to see "Tiny Times 2: Aoki Era" again."

...

For a movie, more than 80% of the box office is contributed by fans. Ninety-nine percent of the audience are young people around 20 years old and high school students.

Launching a ticket purchase call online can make the movie shine again and earn another 80 million yuan in box office.

"Tiny Times" is destined to be recorded in film history, although it is completely labeled as "indecent" and "shattering worldviews".

But the industry cannot deny that Guo Jingming and this movie have indeed achieved great success, making many production companies jealous.

"Guo Jingming is still encouraging himself, saying that he wants to learn from Director Lin. He said that when your first "Nuan Nuan Bei Heng Guang" came out, it was also criticized by many film critics."

Hearing this, Lin Nan was not happy and immediately retorted:

"That's great, the two are not even related, and they are not in the same category at all!"

The reason why Lin Nan was picked on by that group of people was because he was too young and rashly listed as a director.

A bunch of film critics criticized for the sake of criticizing, and all the points of criticism were Lin Nan, not the movie, such as:

"At such a young age, you are learning to make a love movie from others?", "Do you know what love is?", "A freshman in the acting department is a director? It's so fancy!", etc.

"So, he was scolded by a large number of netizens again, and many people in the circle also mocked him for not thinking before speaking and changing the concept."

Speaking of this, Yue Jun couldn't help laughing.

Lin Nan opened his mouth, a little speechless.

Guo Jingming's remarks were humble, and there was really nothing he could do about him, otherwise Lin Nan would appear petty.

"Then let's wait and see whether "Tiny Times 2" at the beginning of next month can directly resist "Time Traveler".

Lin Nan said lightly, with a hint of contempt in his tone.

He is very optimistic about Guo Fan's "Time Traveler".

There is absolutely no problem in beating the notorious "Tiny Times 2" which is a copycat.

…………

This summer season, with only about 60 days, more than 50 movies were released.

Although most of the movies will become cannon fodder, it is enough to show how fierce the competition will be.

And "Time Traveler" is one of the most popular domestic movies.

Its premiere was scheduled for the end of the month.

At this moment, Yue Jun has arranged people and started to send invitations.

The film "Lu Fan Yan Shi", which has attracted much attention in the industry, has finally finished casting.

The first reaction of the film and television industry is to look at the new Mou Girl.

"Director Zhang Yimou's new film, "Lu Fan Yan Shi", has completed casting, and the crew is about to enter the training period."

"The new Mou Girl is Zhang Huiwen, a 20-year-old student of Beijing Dance Academy, who has no performance experience."

……

An amateur actor, Mou Girl, started as a Mou Girl, playing the daughter of Chen Daoming and Gong Li in the movie!

In the eyes of most actors in the film and television industry, isn't this a step to heaven?

Many people in the circle posted congratulations on the Weibo of Zhang Yimou's studio, looking forward to the movie meeting the public as soon as possible.

Lin Nan also browsed the profile photo of this newcomer. He was indeed lucky to be selected by Zhang Yimou.

Unintentionally, a short message in the corner of the film and television news page attracted Lin Nan's attention.

"Chen Jinfei established a new film and television company and continued to develop film and television business..."

Lin Nan clicked in and took a look. It was a company that had just been registered not long ago.

I think it should be the company that Chen Jinfei opened after he and Liu Yifei rejected the project of "The Escape Plan". It was not reported until these two days.

"It's a bit low-key."

Lin Nan sighed, but didn't care too much.

The film and television industry is no longer the film and television industry of the 2000s. Money alone is not enough.

...

Sometimes, this person can't be "remembered".

Yesterday evening, Liu Yifei told Xie Nan that Wu Yi didn't let Yu Nan cooperate with the film promotion. After a round of "ideological work" this morning, Wu Yi gave in.

He originally wanted to give Yu Nan two days off after shooting another shot to cooperate with the promotion of "Eyewitness".

As a result, the last shot was not finished, and the two-day leave for Yu Nan turned into a week-long leave for Wu himself!

Because of the explosion scene error, this guy went to the hospital, his eyes were red and swollen, and he had to rest for at least six or seven days.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei ran to Xie Nan's house to see the "patient".

"Director Lin, Yifei. Why did you bring fruit? Come and sit down." Xie Nan smiled and took the fruit basket from Lin Nan.

"Oh, investors are here."

Wu Gan, whose eyes were wrapped in layers of gauze, was sitting on the sofa. Although he couldn't see, he could hear and joke.

"Is it no big problem?" Lin Nan asked.

"The eyelids are scratched and burned. They are still inflamed and swollen. They need to change the medicine once a day." Xie Nan replied.

"It's almost a week. Let's go back and continue filming. When I was shooting action movies in Hong Kong, I didn't suffer any injuries. There was one time when Donnie Yen was merciless..."

Wu Gan said carelessly.

"You'd better take it slow. Don't rush to finish it in two months, three months will do."

As a producer, Liu Yifei said kindly.

"I don't need Yifei's reminder this time. I really need to take my time filming later, haha..."

Dinner was eaten at Xie Nan's place. By the time Liu Yifei and Lin Nan left, the news of "Wolf Warrior" had already hit the headlines.

"The crew of "Wolf Warrior" made a mistake in the explosion scene and the director and leading actor Wu Gan was injured. The crew will be shut down for a week..."

"Yu Nan's participation in the publicity of "Witness to All" confirmed the news of Wu Gen's injury."

…………

"Director Lin, Bona sent me an invitation to the launch conference of "Macau Storm"."

"Go ahead. If you don't want to go, send someone to represent the company."

Only these giants in the industry would only invite Lin Nan when sending out invitations.

But it was really impossible for him to invite everyone, otherwise he would be exhausted.

In the study, Lin Nan read the email from Tom, saying that the production of "Fifty Shades of Grey" was completed.

After consultation with Lionsgate, Tom decided to schedule the film on January 1st, North American time.

Seeing this news, Lin Nan couldn't help but worry again. When the movie is released, the news will spread back to China...

In his mind, he had unconsciously assumed the perspective of the domestic media: "Director Lin Nan's company in Hollywood has produced an R-rated movie involving SM..."

"Hey... I can't even think about it, I have a headache." Lin Nan shook his head, looking helpless.

The next day.

In the morning, the media's focus was entirely on "Macau Storm", and there was even a live broadcast online, which was very high-profile.

"Co-produced by Bona Pictures and China Star, and directed by Wang Jing, the co-production film "Macau" held a launch conference in Beijing today..."

"After many years, Zhou Runfa comes out again after the "God of Gamblers" series..."

"Jingtian, a young actress from Mainland China, joins hands with Zhou Runfa for the first time to serve as the leading female lead in a movie."

After Lin Nan liked Jingtian, he ignored it because the CCTV news attracted his attention more.

This year, the boss of the Propaganda Department made a statement. Not only did the Spring Festival Gala select the general director and programs, but the efficiency was also frighteningly high!

"Feng Xiaogang officially signed a contract with CCTV and will become the chief director of the Year of the Horse Spring Festival Gala!"

"Huayi's stock price rose in response..."

…

After seeing this news, everyone in the industry can think: There will definitely be no shortage of actors, celebrities and entertainers from the Huayi family in this year’s Spring Festival Gala!

It’s hard to come across the Spring Festival Gala’s general director’s selection process for the general public, but why don’t you include as many relevant households as possible?

Even the worldly people in the circle may appear at this Spring Festival Gala, with all kinds of people!

Tiankong Color, Lin Nan was staring at the post-editing, and Zhu Yawen called.

"It's rare, you actually called me from the set? This is the first time."

Lin Nan pointed at the computer screen and asked the editor to go back two seconds while teasing Zhu Yawen.

On the other end of the phone, Zhu Yawen's joking voice came: "In order not to delay the filming of "Red Sorghum," brother, I postponed the wedding banquet."

“If you delay it, you will postpone it…

Fuck! What the hell are you talking about? "

At this moment, Lin Nan's mind went blank. After a long time, he came back to his senses.

"Wedding banquet! Are you kidding me?" Lin Nan asked again to confirm.

Zhu Yawen smiled: "I'm not kidding. Some time ago, I got excited and got the certificate. Now I plan to hold a wedding after "Red Sorghum" is completed. What do you think, best man?"

"I fucked your uncle, you hid it deeply! Why did you tell me today?"

"Haha, I originally wanted to tell everyone as a surprise, but I can't help it anymore. I've decided on the best man."

Is this asking for opinions? Isn't this just a notification to Lin Nan?

"What about the rest?"

"Those who are familiar with the film will be notified in the next two days. Everyone will keep it secret for now. We will set a specific date when "Red Sorghum" is almost finished."

…

The phone call lasted half an hour, and after she hung up, Lin Nan was still a little confused.

"This bitch got away."

Lin Nan hasn't been the best man yet. Unexpectedly, the first time I served as a best man was for Zhu Yawen.

Just when Lin Nan was in a daze, the phone vibrated again.

He directly picked up the phone, thinking it was Zhu Yawen, and complained directly:

"Hey, I already promised you, why are you still fighting?"

"Lin, it's me, Tom. Crystal, is the boss lady with you?"
