Chapter 362 Released, a Joke

Three blockbusters are about to be released, especially "Painted Wall" and "Legend of White Snake" are attracting attention.

Many filmmakers, producers and film stars are helping to promote and support the movies on Weibo.

But there is a clear distinction, which is very interesting.

Most of the celebrities on the "Painted Wall" side are from the mainland;

The "Legend of White Snake" is just the opposite, with all directors and stars from Hong Kong Island.

This clear and naked team-up made netizens call it incredible and wonderful!

But to be honest, "Legend of White Snake" can indeed be seen as a Hong Kong movie.

The entire movie uses directors, producers and filming teams from Hong Kong Island, and more than 80% of the main actors are not from the mainland...

If it weren't for its opponent "Painted Wall", it's possible that a large number of mainland artists would support it.

It can only be said that in front of the Hong Kong circle and Wang Changtian, these mainland people still chose light very rationally!

…………

Lin Nan thinks that Yang Zai may have drunk fake wine, otherwise he wouldn't be able to shout such stupid slogans and say such big words!

What "After "Legend of White Snake", there will be no more 'White Snake'!"

"The box office king of the National Day is within reach..."

"After "Legend of White Snake", Juli will invest in ten more movies with a cost of over 100 million!"

...

On the afternoon of the 28th, "Legend of White Snake" was released first.

Looking at the reports on the Internet, the theater can really be described as a sea of ​​people, but I don't know what the result will be.

Lin Nan received a call from Wang Luodan, and as expected, she replaced Yang Mi.

As a member of the Beijing circle, she was just a little short during the audition, so it is reasonable to replace her now.

The next day, the six-hour box office of "White Snake" was reported, 9 million!

At this time, the three movies began to compete head-on!

Yang Zi's bragging in the early stage did have some effect.

The single-day box office on the 29th came out, and "White Snake" crushed "Painted Skin" with a first-day performance of 9 million + 15.8 million, crushing "Painted Skin" with 12 million and "Xinhai Revolution" with 6.1 million.

Regardless of the first two, Shanghai Film Studio's "The Revolution of 1911" is finished.

"It's not as grand as "The Founding of a Republic" and "The Founding of a Party", and it can't be booked out. How can it compare with those two?" Most people in the industry think so.

The first-day box office of "The Revolution of 1911" is destined to be a loss, or a huge loss.

Think about Ren Zhonglun's previous boast, and his face was slapped...

On the 30th, the box office of "White Snake" exploded, closing in 32 million a day, trampling the 13 million of "Painted Skin" underfoot.

Yang Zai spoke again: "This National Day belongs to "Legend of the White Snake", and our movie box office is bound to break 300 million, 400 million, and continue to go up..."

A very strange thing was discovered in the circle.

Even those film critics who always make trouble on weekdays have a unified evaluation of "Legend of the White Snake", all of which are good reviews!

The bad reviews that appeared online were also quickly drowned out or disappeared.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell there was something wrong.

At this time, someone started to expose the news:

"A large number of film critics received 'hush money' and 'writing fees' from Juli Pictures!"

"There are serious deletion and posting behaviors under the official Weibo of "Legend of the White Snake"..."

…………

"Did Lao Wang take action?"

Lin Nan was a little suspicious whether Wang Changtian had started to act.

Even though Yang Zai stood up and denied "stuffing money" and "deleting posts" at the first time, and warned with words such as "defamation" and "calling the police", it still failed to stop the sharp decline in the box office the next day.

"How much?"

"The daily box office dropped directly from 32 million to 20 million, and Yang Zai has already started to curse, haha..."

Lin Nan looked at the news, and "White Snake" was directly injured in one day.

Other movies entered the National Day holiday, and the box office was rising, but this one dropped 12 million.

"Look, they are still offering a reward of 100,000 yuan to find the person who spread rumors and caused trouble. It would be strange if they could find him!"

…………

The box office of "Painted Skin" has been steadily rising, reaching 14 million.

At this time, the negative reviews about "Legend of the White Snake" on the Internet could no longer be suppressed.

"What kind of "Legend of the White Snake" is this? I only saw Fahai and Bai Suzhen from beginning to end. What sense of existence does Xu Xian have? Fahai's apprentice played by Wen Zhang has more scenes than Xu Xian!"

"The emotional drama is too direct and hasty, and the girl chasing the boy is too exaggerated. There is not even a little foreshadowing?"

"This is completely "Legend of Fahai". Eight out of ten minutes are Jet Li's Fahai..."

……

Faced with overwhelming negative reviews, Juli and Yang Zi obviously have no experience and don't know how to deal with it.

The result is that the daily box office of "White Snake" has shrunk by 6 million again after dropping 12 million, closing at 14 million.

In just two days, the daily box office dropped by 18 million, which is the first time in the domestic film market, especially during the National Day holiday.

This box office trend stunned the industry.

Finally, on the 3rd, "Painted Skin" took the throne of the daily box office champion from "White Snake". The former closed at 15 million, which was very steadily rising, while the latter was only 12 million.

At this time, many comments questioned the special effects of "White Snake".

"Why do I feel that the special effects of "Legend of the White Snake" are far inferior to those of "Warring States"? It feels similar to "Painted Wall"?"

"I think so too. I thought it was my own problem!"

...

...

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went to visit Zhang Jingying, who was recording "Light Years Away".

A movie theme song cannot be done in one go. It requires multiple recordings and post-production editing.

Liu Yifei likes singing very much, so she stayed.

"If you have something to do, go back first and pick me up in the afternoon." Miss Liu waved to Lin Nan and told him.

"Director Lin, don't worry. I will take good care of Yifei."

Zhang Jingying said with a smile.

"Okay, call me in the afternoon."

Lin Nan glanced at Liu Yifei. He really had something to do.

...

After leaving Zhang Jingying's studio, Lin Nan drove straight to the company.

"What's going on?"

"You guessed it. That guy cursed at the audience and didn't think about what he said. He threw dirty water on us."

Lin Nan looked at the news. Yang Zai was really a man who didn't know how to control his mouth.

"The special effects of "Legend of the White Snake" are not as good as that bad movie "Warring States". I personally can't accept it!"

"I suspect that the special effects of Tiangong Color may have been cut corners."

"I'm going to talk to Lin Nan later and ask him what's going on. It's not reliable at all!"

"I spent money..."

...

...

This is not how hype is hyped, right?

Lin Nan glanced at Yue Jun, "Is this guy crazy?"

"I just called, but Yang Zai didn't answer. Someone from their company told me that Yang Zai was busy and asked me to contact him later. Damn it!"

Yue Jun cursed.

"Don't answer? Then don't answer."

Lin Nan sneered, sat back in his seat, and turned on the computer.

…

Half an hour later, Lin Nan Pictures’ official Weibo and Lin Nan’s personal Weibo updated the news, exactly the same.

“I didn’t go to the premiere of Legend of White Snake before, I went to Painted Wall. Now I’ll inform Mr. Yang of Juli to settle the final payment for the special effects production fee.

Your company only paid 30 million, which is 70 million short of the special effects cost of 100 million you said.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. You only paid 30 million, so you definitely won’t see the special effects of 100 million.

Finally, I would like to advise you: false propaganda is very bad for your character. By the way, do you have any character?”

In addition to a post, it also came with the transaction details between Tiangong Color and Juli, which was very convincing.

Lin Nan’s statement was like throwing a bomb, blowing up Legend of White Snake and Yangzi.

The industry, the media, and the Internet suddenly became extremely lively.

"Good fellow, you've blown up the special effects of 30 million into 100 million, no one else can do that."

"Now it's convincing, the special effects of Warring States cost 70 million!"

In everyone's eyes, Yangzi is undoubtedly a fool.

Lin Nan didn't expose you, but you still rushed to find trouble, isn't that a brain in the shit?

Now it's good, the daily box office has dropped by 10 million!

……

In the afternoon, Yue Jun's phone has been turned off, because Yangzi kept calling.

"Don't worry about them, this company will be blacklisted in the future, and they won't cooperate. They still invest in ten movies worth hundreds of millions, and invest with their mouths?"

Lin Nan decisively instructed Yue Jun, and then left the company.

Liu Yifei was urging him to come over, Zhang Jingying invited him to dinner.

…………

"Boss Wang, I'm driving now."

Lin Nan turned on the speaker of the phone and put it on the passenger seat.

"Well done. That guy is still quibbling in front of the media, haha..."

Wang Changtian talked a lot, not caring whether Lin Nan was driving or not.

After summarizing, Lao Wang had one meaning, he was ready to deal with Yang Zai.

……

Today, Zhang Jingying treated us to a meal, mainly to thank Lin Nan for giving her the theme song of "Passengers".

Zhang Jingying was very polite and waited until Lin Nan arrived, and then her assistant went to notify her to serve the dishes.

"I saw your Weibo post. Many people are jokingly saying that they are willing to help you collect debts. Just give a commission, hehe..."

Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan and said with a smile.

"That guy has a problem with his brain. I won't deal with him anymore..."

Since it was someone else's treat, Lin Nan didn't want to talk about these trivial things.

……

After more than an hour, they were full of wine and food.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei waved to Zhang Jingying and prepared to leave.

"Wait for the movie premiere, and invite you to sing there."

"Haha, that's great, I'm waiting for the invitation from Director Lin and Yifei, bye."

"Bye."

…………

At midnight.

A large number of posts appeared on the Internet and the media...

"My thoughts after watching "Legend of the White Snake": The White Snake that impressed me the most was Zhao Yazhi, noble and elegant.

After watching "Legend of the White Snake", I really think Huang Shengyi is too bad, her performance is too worldly and coquettish..."

"Zhao Yazhi's White Snake gave me the feeling of descending from heaven to earth; while Huang Shengyi's White Snake seemed to come out of heaven..."

"What the two people above described is so accurate. It's this feeling. It seems that just having money is enough, like Yang Zai..."

"Oh, I miss the heaven and earth. Many of them are college students, and there are even third-tier celebrities. Why are they blocked!"

…

…

Various posts about "The Legend of White Snake" popped up all at once.

By the time dawn came, it was already out of control!
