Chapter 547 The Donkey of the Production Team
"The film bureau is also busy and has to deal with things like quarrels."
The feud between Gao Qunshu and Guo Jingming completely broke out after the box office of the two movies was released on the first day, and it got out of hand.
The former criticized "Tiny Times" as a stupid trash movie, and the capital behind it suppressed "A Romantic Affair".
Guo Jingming refuted this, and a large number of fans began to abuse and engage in online violence...
Many filmmakers and production companies in the industry began to take sides, which had a bad impact!
The film bureau had no choice but to call these two people, as well as the producers and distributors of the two films, to a meeting.
The meaning is very clear: film scheduling rate is market behavior, and attendance rate is the audience's choice.
There is no shady story, no conspiracy, and no capital suppression.
Both sides must shake hands and make peace, settle the matter, and no more trouble is allowed!
"This "A Romantic Affair" is completely dead and hopeless. The film schedule will definitely be cut off some more and allocated to other blockbuster movies."
Lin Nan and Ning Hao beside him were chatting quietly, but their eyes were looking at "Destiny" on the big screen in front of them. The guests on the scene also watched it very seriously.
The "honest man" played by Jiang Wu holds a double-barreled shotgun, one shot at a time, bursting with blood and juice, which is called decisive and ruthless.
Wang Baoqiang was riding a motorcycle and was stopped and robbed by three men armed with axes.
He directly took out a Browning high-power pistol and shot three people in the head with one shot, showing a sense of gloom and cold blood.
Seeing this, Wang Baoqiang's acting skills once again made Lin Nan's eyes shine. He may be more suitable for non-comedies.
This movie is indeed a rare "enjoyable movie" in China. It kills decisively and is very enjoyable to watch.
"Is this movie really good?"
Ning Hao swallowed his saliva and asked doubtfully.
When have you ever seen a picture of a man with his head exploding in a mainland movie? There is more than one shot, although there is no close-up.
The ending of his "No Man's Land" can be remade, but this movie is more direct, bloody and violent, and there is no way to change it.
"The schedule has been postponed to early November. Who knows if there will be any accidents in the intervening two months? Anyway, the copyright must have been sold well, and the box office will not be short of that."
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Ning Hao was stuck: "You directors who have won awards at international film festivals are so harsh in your words! What do you mean by 'not bad at the box office'?"
Lin Nan smiled and didn't say anything. It seemed like he was showing off?
At this time, the movie also ended, and all the guests in the circle applauded. This "Destined" deserves applause.
Jia Zhangke held the microphone and stood on the stage with a smile on his face. Next to him were Jiang Wu and Wang Baoqiang, as well as the eternal female lead in his movies: Zhao Tao.
"This is a transformation of my style. I hope everyone can give me more opinions so that I can improve..."
"Don't tell me, with this attitude, Director Jia has a much better impression than Director Chen!" Ning Hao said with a click of his tongue.
Lin Nan added in a strange way: "Apart from the controversial "Farewell My Concubine", in terms of movies alone, this one is better, but he is not good at commercial films."
"I'll go, don't spread this word between us, otherwise it will offend Director Chen, haha..."
About half an hour later, Lin Nan said hello to Jia Zhangke and Wang Baoqiang and left early.
…………
August is the most intense month for summer movies. There are many movies released, and naturally there are more cannon fodder.
To be honest, Leader Huang is a bit sympathetic.
"A Romantic Affair" and "Mader No. 2" starring him were released next to each other, on the 8th and 9th.
After the former grossed 3.55 million at the box office on its first day, "Madhu 2" was officially released.
At this moment, the box office sales of the two movies are worse than the other, which is terrible!
On the contrary, it is Fan Bingbing. Her movies have always been very stable and rarely lose money at the box office.
"Starring Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying, "A Romantic Affair" grossed 2.45 million at the box office the next day, and its financial future is worrying."
"Starring Huang Xiaoming for zero salary, the movie "Mader 2" had a box office of 560,000 on its first day. Whether it can continue to be released in public, the theater chain has not yet expressed its position."
""One Night Surprise" earned 12 million on its first day, and Fan Bingbing's box office appeal is stable!"
…
Among the domestic films that have been released, "Space Traveler" has been the most lasting.
The daily box office unexpectedly rose to 28.3 million, maybe it was due to the "bad movies" in the same period, right? !
However, a fan-favorite movie like "Tiny Times 2" is indeed very popular, and it all exploded in the first week.
It grossed 93.4 million in two days of release, directly beating out the same type of "Youth Party".
The latter stopped at 23 million in one week of release, and the daily box office dropped by 200,000. It made no progress, but it still made a small profit.
Lin Nan saw Reba at Liu Yifei's place, who looked happy.
In "Passengers", she is the artificial intelligence and the second female lead; in "The Gunslinger", she made a three-minute cameo;
Now in "Space Traveler", her role as the younger sister is also the second female lead.
For countless new actresses, these three movies of Reba are already the beginning of their career.
"Director Lin, I came to the capital to make an announcement and stopped by to see Sister Yifei."
The way Reba smiles does have a "silly and sweet" feeling, but it's not like that in reality.
"The value should have gone up, right?" Lin Nan joked.
Although the company team is responsible for the salary of his actors, he doesn't know much about it, but he guesses that it has gone up.
Sure enough, Reba was a little embarrassed: "It has increased a lot. Director Yue joked that I have reached the threshold of the second-tier..."
"Haha, the word 'climb' is used vividly. Keep working hard and move forward."
Lin Nan was amused. It seems that he has to arrange resources for Reba in the future. She has to stand firmly in the second-tier and then continue to move towards the first-tier.
"School starts next month, and she will also be a senior."
Liu Yifei brought a large plate of fruit and put it on the table in the garden.
"So fast?" Lin Nan exclaimed. In the blink of an eye, she will be a senior? !
He still remembers that when he was taking the art exam, Jiang Xingrou called him and said that he saw a girl in the Shanghai Theatre Academy.
"Well, the school asked me to go back early. Now I am the best in the 10th grade."
Reba said excitedly. The classmates in the class envied her. Even the instructor and teacher would pay special attention to her.
"Well, I plan to write my own title for the graduation thesis..."
Suddenly, Reba looked at Lin Nan, a little embarrassed.
Lin Nan was stunned for a moment. How come this opening line of the turn of events sounded so familiar?
"I want to use the two movies "Passengers" and "Time Traveler" as the basis for my thesis..."
Good guy, Lin Nan said how come it sounded so familiar!
Guo Fan's graduate thesis was based on "Passengers", and Han Jianu's thesis was also based on "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".
Liu Yifei ate grapes elegantly and smiled sweetly: "What do you think of my suggestion to her?"
Lin Nan gave a thumbs up, "Your idea is amazing. Guo Fan and Han Jianu did it this way, hehe..."
"If you need any help, just let me know."
"Thank you Director Lin, thank you Sister Yifei." Reba shouted with a smile.
…………
"Ip Man 3" and "Red Sorghum" both started shooting in early June, more than two months ago.
Huo Wenxi came to the capital for something, and came to see Lin Nan by the way to talk about the specific shooting progress.
"According to director Ye Weixin's estimate, Ip Man 3 can be finished at the earliest at the end of next month, and later in early October."
"Well, this shooting schedule is quite reasonable." Lin Nan nodded.
After all, kung fu movies are not easy to shoot, and they also require action actors. Often, a few minutes of shots have to be shot for several days. If they get injured, it will delay the time even more.
After chatting for a while, Lin Nan also knew the purpose of Huo Wenxi's visit to Beijing.
It seems that the news of La Peikang's succession has spread in the circle, at least in the top of the circle.
It can only be said that for thousands of years, some of the culture of the Chinese people is really too deeply rooted and deeply imprinted in their bones.
Huo Wenxi represented Ying Huang and came to scout for Yang Shoucheng.
The boss of China Film was going to be replaced, and Ying Huang chose this more appropriate time to come to "pay his respects".
If you come too early, it is easy to offend Han Sanping; if you come too late, you will not show your sincerity.
Mr. Han will officially hand over power at the end of next month, so Yang Shoucheng is going to come here a month and a half in advance, which is just right!
"Has Director Lin dealt with Mr. La?"
"Yes, Mr. Han helped us, and we had a meal at China Film." Lin Nan said calmly.
This meant something different to Huo Wenxi, as it represented Lin Nan's identity and his position at China Film.
After staying at Lin Nan Film for about forty minutes, Huo Wenxi left.
Lin Nan personally sent her downstairs, and he sighed softly:
"Although it's not a tree falling, it feels like monkeys are scattering!"
…………
The weakness of fan movies is fully demonstrated in "Tiny Times 2".
The daily box office of "Time Traveler" will still increase, and the daily box office of the first two consecutive days will fluctuate at most around two million.
But "Tiny Times 2" is different. The daily box office on the first day is its highest daily box office.
From the second day, it followed the old path of "Tiny Times 1", with daily box office decreasing by about 10 million every day, which was 3 days earlier than "Tiny Times 1"!
52 million, 41.4 million, 30.35 million, 21.2 million!
"The total box office of "Tiny Times 2" in the first 4 days of the weekend was 144.95 million, lower than the 151.5 million of "Time Traveler"!"
"It is impossible for "Tiny Times 2" to make up for the box office regret of the first part, and it will even be far from the 480 million of the first part.
"The box office of "Mad 2" was released for three days, and the total box office was 1.12 million. It is a pity that it was taken off the screen."
...
Maybe it was because she was about to go on a long journey, Liu Yifei didn't treat Lin Nan as a human being these days.
But animals can't be used like this, they have to be relaxed and tense.
"Xixi."
"Well, what's wrong?"
Liu Yifei's voice was grandma, with a little nasal sound.
"In the past, the donkeys in the production team only worked 6 or 7 hours a day. ”

“Hehe…I’ll let you go for now and go to sleep…”
