Chapter 593: "Dominating" The Lunar New Year Season, Returning to School

After two days of word-of-mouth fermentation, the daily box office of the movie released on the Spring Festival finally saw a significant change on the third day.

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" once again broke the single-day box office record of domestic films, with a daily revenue of 130 million yuan, and a total box office of 345 million yuan in the first three days of the weekend."

"Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" received 72.1 million yuan on the third day, and the total box office of the first weekend reached 234 million yuan."

"The Man from Macau ranked third with a first weekend box office of 72.8 million yuan; The Ex-Files took 12.02 million yuan in three days...

A Chinese Odyssey: Part Two: The Legend of Chusen took 3.2 million yuan on the first day, and received a lot of bad reviews..."

The new data once again made the film industry feel incredible.

The daily box office of other films was declining, but Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy made a comeback and increased so much?

130 million yuan!

This single-day box office made many film companies in the industry jealous.

"In 3 days, all costs have been recovered. I heard that your patch ads sold for 92.8 million?"

"Yes, Mr. Ren. It's just luck."

Lin Nan took over Ren Zhonglun's words and said with a smile.

At the dinner table, Han Sanping, Wang Changtian, Ye Ning, Guo Fan and others all had a playful expression on their faces, staring at the hands-free mobile phone in front of Lin Nan.

Lin Nan looked at everyone speechlessly. Who would have thought that the boss of Shanghai Film would come to the capital during the Spring Festival?

Fortunately, he didn't say that he wanted to meet Lin Nan at this time, or make an appointment for dinner now, otherwise it would be very embarrassing for a group of people to meet.

"Others say luck, maybe it's really luck, but you, Lin Nan, are definitely not luck. Speaking of this, I have to scold Han Sanping again.

He is really not a son of man. He wants to grab any benefits he sees, poaching people, prying corners, winning over and corrupting, and doing everything possible..."

Ren Zhonglun's voice floated in the box, and everyone present tried their best to hold back their laughter and didn't dare to make a sound.

Han Sanping was not angry, but picked up the dishes with a smug smile and ate happily.

Lin Nan smiled helplessly, regretting listening to Han Sanping and turning on the hands-free.

If Ren Zhonglun knew that he said bad things about Han Sanping, and the parties involved and outsiders heard it, the consequences would be disastrous, and social death would be certain!

"...Okay, let's not talk about that mountain eagle. As I said, the door of Shanghai Film is always open to you..."

"Haha, then thank you, Mr. Ren."

Until Lin Nan hung up the phone, the people in the box finally couldn't help it.

"Hahaha..."

"It's rare to hear Mr. Ren's complaints. He has a deep resentment towards Mr. Han. Haha..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, did you hear something you shouldn't hear today?"

"He has been in the Magic City for a long time. This is a typical 'sophisticated egoism'.

He only thinks about benefits every day and is unwilling to take risks. Now he wants to get something for free? What kind of dream is he!"

Han Sanping drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp and commented bluntly.

"Eat, eat. It's the Spring Festival. Today, everyone is just having a meal together. I didn't hear anything..."

Wang Changtian was the first to pick up his chopsticks and said to everyone jokingly.

...

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has completely established its position as the leader of the Spring Festival.

Many netizens are shouting and looking forward to another "couple" movie, Liu Yifei's "Frozen".

The latter is only two days away from the release on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

Liu Yifei has cooperated with Disney in the past few days to do a lot of publicity, and even borrowed Lin Nan's Weibo to advertise.

There are many actors and stars in the circle who support and give face, and they like, forward and recommend it.

Every year, the nomination list of the Hong Kong Island Film Awards perfectly interprets the decline of the Hong Kong circle.

This year is the same. "The Grandmaster" almost swept all the important nominations.

But to be honest, this movie is not as good as imagined, it's just that there are no people in the Hong Kong circle.

The booming mainland film market has made everyone pay little attention to this year's Hong Kong Island Film Awards.

Only the news that Zhang Ziyi was nominated for Best Actress caused a little stir.

The death of "Yan Chixia" made the mainland film and television circles and countless netizens feel sorry. Most of the screen characters he created were classics.

Xiying and the crew of "Jianghu Lunjian Shilu" also issued a special eulogy. This movie was also the last time "Yan Chixia" appeared on the big screen.

On the 4th, a large number of mainland filmmakers, actors and stars set off to Germany. The Berlin International Film Festival was about to open.

Lin Nan specially posted a Weibo, "I wish Director Ning a smooth trip to Berlin, and the crew of "No Man's Land" won gold and silver!"

Ning Hao was not vague either. Before boarding the plane, he deliberately tagged Lin Nan and joked:

"The color of the Silver Bear is not good-looking. Wait until I bring the Golden Bear back and borrow it from you for two days."

This time, many people in the circle joked on Weibo, "Is Director Ning making a statement?"

Lin Nan was too lazy to continue to pay attention to him, and contacted Tom, who was confident:

"Tomorrow morning, I will set off with the people of Appian Way.

In addition to the North American and Chinese markets, there are many film producers in many regions waiting for "The Invisible Guest."

"Okay, then I look forward to your final transaction price."

"Don't worry, Lin. This is an Oscar-nominated movie, it will definitely make a lot of money!"

...

On the fourth day, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" fell back to 110 million, and on the fifth day it fell again to 95.5 million.

In contrast, the daily box office of "Havoc in Heaven" also fell sharply, closing at 60.8 million and 55.45 million respectively in the two days.

The rest of the movies have been falling all the way, and it is a mess.

Many movies in the Spring Festival period have been criticized as bad movies.

But the movie that was criticized the most by the industry was not "A Chinese Odyssey", but the big movie "Where Are We Going, Dad", which was not valued by everyone before and purely relied on the popularity of variety shows to make money.

From beginning to end, it only took 5 days to shoot, which is even more fan-movie than fan-movie, just putting variety shows on the big screen and cutting leeks!

Many filmmakers in the circle are verbally abusing Mango TV, which is simply a perverse trend and insulting "movies".

The time came to the 6th, and "Frozen" was officially released.

Lin Nan was woken up by Liu Yifei early in the morning, and was also shocked by Miss Liu's operation.

She actually asked Hongxingwu to book a theater in the cinema? !

Then in the morning, Lin Nan followed Liu Yifei and Shu Chang to enjoy the feeling of booking a theater, and this time he didn't have to worry about being recognized.

Not only that, the generous producer Liu also gave away a lot of movie tickets on his Weibo as a fan benefit.

After eating, drinking, playing and having fun with the two women for a whole day, Lin Nan's Spring Festival holiday also ended successfully.

The next day, Lin Nan Film Building.

The company's management of the few artists is very loose, and they don't need to come to the company often.

Because everyone is either in the crew or has their own life.

However, I haven't seen Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin for a long time. Suddenly seeing these two people downstairs in the company, Lin Nan is still a little uncomfortable.

"Director Lin, happy new year."

Zhang Yi had no problem when he opened his mouth, but with that smile, the breath of a veteran instantly came to his face.

Lei Jiayin was on the side, also smiling.

"Rare guests, why are you back today?" Lin Nan joked.

"Director Lin, what you said is right, aren't you going home?"

Lei Jiayin laughed and interrupted.

"Before the New Year, Director Lu Yang informed the agent that he would keep the schedule and asked us to report to the company today." Zhang Yi explained.

Lin Nan glanced at the direction of the third floor and reacted.

"Director Lin, what is the play?"

"The Sword of Assassins 2."

Lin Nan did not hide it, because Lu Yang would tell her later.

When they heard the words "The Sword of Assassins 2", their eyes lit up immediately.

"Ancient costume!"

"Martial arts!"

"Well, let's go in."

Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin went to the third floor to see Lu Yang.

Lin Nan went straight back to the office, where Yue Jun and Jiang Xingrou were already waiting.

"I have just sent someone to send the scripts of "The Sword of Assassins 2" and "The Journey of Flower" to the General Administration. We can start casting after they are approved."

Yue Jun spoke first, "The General Administration should be very busy today, and many companies are submitting scripts or finished films."

"Then leave the project of "The Journey of Flower" to me." Jiang Xingrou took on the TV series job.

Lin Nan nodded and thought of another thing.

"In the afternoon, send "The Invisible Guest" to the Film Bureau. After it is reviewed, you can choose the release date."

"Okay."

...

Half an hour later, Lin Nan went to the third floor.

Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin sat there, crossed their legs, each holding a script, reading with relish.

"This is too miserable, stabbing and being stabbed!"

"My role is still a running dog? A three-legged golden toad?"

The two of them talked back and forth.

"Flying Fish Clothes, Embroidered Spring Blade, you two are both internally selected, prepare well." Lin Nan walked in with a smile.

"Of course, this is the "Embroidered Spring Blade" series, the first one has such a good reputation!"

Zhang Yi took over the conversation and immediately praised it.

"Shu Chang is the leading actress, take good care of her in the crew when the time comes."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Lu Yang smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin were obviously stunned, and reacted in a second: "No problem, I will definitely take good care of your sister."

…………

Disney's animated movies rarely have bad reputations.

"Frozen" relied on Lin Nan and "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" to promote and achieved a first-day box office of 32 million in China.

This can't help but remind the film industry of the joke Liu Yifei said when answering reporters' questions at the premiere of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy":

"Lin Nan and I will join forces to "dominate" the Spring Festival file!"

Whether it "dominates" or not, the box office of this "Frozen" will not be low anyway.

But when it comes to "dominating" the Lunar New Year file, whether Lin Nan wants to join Liu Yifei or not, he is destined to dominate this Lunar New Year file.

"Directed by Lin Nan and produced by Liu Yifei, the main theme commercial film "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has grossed 738.4 million yuan in the first week of its release! It set a new record for the first-week box office of domestic films."

"The first week of "Havoc in Heaven" closed at 450 million yuan; "The Man from Macau" 220 million yuan..."

The five words "dominated the Lunar New Year period" have been flooding the Weibo of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

Miss Liu was holding a tablet and laughing on the sofa, with the word "happy" clearly written on her face!

"Hahaha, look at them..."

Lin Nan ignored Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, but turned to the garden, where several calls came in.

After the Spring Festival, the General Administration opened on the first day of work, and it was indeed crowded with people in the circle.

The media has reported a lot of things "seemingly", including Lin Nan Pictures.

"As the box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is booming, Lin Nan Pictures has submitted a new script to the General Administration for review..."

"According to other industry insiders present, this time, Lin Nan Pictures is suspected to have submitted multiple scripts for review!"

...

The media are quick-talking, and the ears of the industry are equally sharp.

Several partners called to ask.

"Are you really going to make a new movie?"

"A TV series and a movie are both projects of the company, but the director of the movie is not me."

Lin Nan only said this sentence, and Wang Changtian understood it immediately. There is no room for other partners in the new movie, and the director is either Lu Yang or Guo Fan.

"Okay, then, I will talk to you about the distribution."

"Okay."

The same words were said several times before everyone was dismissed.

However, Lin Nan was too lazy to care about those actors who inquired about the news. When the news was announced, he would naturally start casting.

...

News from Berlin was transmitted back to China every day.

It's nothing more than which unknown Chinese-language film is favored by which film producers, and how many "high-priced copyrights" have been sold.

But these news always have only gorgeous slogans, no actual detailed content, and seem exaggerated.

While Lin Nan was staring at the box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", he was also calculating the time.

He could set off for Hollywood as early as the middle or early end of this month.

The Oscars ceremony is on the second day of March.

Of course, he has to bring Liu Yifei with him.

In this industry, the most grand annual art exam, which is more competitive than the college entrance examination, has begun.

Beijing Film Academy can be said to be leading the way this year, and Lin Nan has advertised a lot for the school.

Whether it is "The Invisible Guest" nominated for four Oscars or the North American box office of 230 million US dollars so far.

These are now posted on the school's official website and in the brochure.

Lin Nan originally thought that his "participation" would end here, until Liu Yifei waved to him.

"Come and see."

"What's the matter?"

Liu Yifei shook the tablet in her hand, with a playful and excited look on her face. She felt like she was watching the fun? Watching Lin Nan's fun?

Lin Nan took it, glanced at the screen, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then smiled helplessly.

"That's good. You didn't even notify me and promoted it."

"Everyone on the Internet is talking about you now. I guess the circle is the same." Liu Yifei joked with a smile.

"Just say it, you will know it sooner or later anyway."

Lin Nan took another look at the headlines, but still couldn't help shaking his head, speechless.

"According to the relevant person in charge of the Film Academy: Lin Nan, an outstanding graduate of the school who graduated from the undergraduate of the 2002 directing department and the graduate school of the 2006 directing department, will return to the school to teach later.

His honors and resume include but are not limited to:

One Venice International Film Festival Golden Lion Award, one Cannes International Film Festival Jury Grand Prix, two Berlin International Film Festival Best Director Silver Bear Awards, Golden Horse Best Director, domestic film box office record holder..."
