Chapter 566 Visitors From the Noon Sun

"The Dragon King of the Capital of Gods" was released for 23 days, and the total box office reached 570 million, but the daily box office completely fell below 2 million.

Just when the industry thought that the box office would definitely stop at the 600 million threshold, and it was a bit regretful, Huayi's operation made everyone's eyes light up.

In order for this movie to successfully break through the 600 million mark, Huayi rarely put in a lot of effort and money.

Wang Zhonglei went back and forth to the Film Bureau for several consecutive days, and then successfully applied for a delay key, which was really not easy, and it was always rejected before.

The release time of "The Dragon King of the Capital of Gods" was also postponed from the 27th of the month to the 10th of next month, adding two weeks of release time.

This is just a normal measure. The most ruthless thing is that Huayi took the initiative to reduce the share ratio with the theater chain.

It was announced that from October 21st to the end of the film, the box office revenue in these 20 days will only be 30%, while the theater chain can take 70%.

Huayi tried to get enough support from the cinema chain by giving up 13% of the shareable box office within 20 days.

All the companies in the industry could see that the cinema chain would not lose money, but Huayi would definitely make a lot of money.

Because once the box office of "Shendu Dragon King" reached 600 million, it would be completely different.

The extra box office was nothing at all. The real big head came from the soaring stock price.

Lin Nan was of course happy to see it happen, which was also a good thing for him.

"While cursing, it has exceeded 100 million?"

The news of "Special Identity" came into Lin Nan's eyes.

It took 7 days, relying on the black and red, the box office of this movie successfully exceeded 100 million.

Although the movie was destined to lose money, Xingguang Canlan was still working hard to promote it for Jing Tian.

Because Jing Tian was not the one who took the blame this time, a large number of netizens were still sympathizing with her and being cheated by Zhen Zidan's team.

The one who was most negatively affected was undoubtedly "Zhen Kung Fu", who had been boasting in front of the media before the movie was released. Now his true colors have been completely exposed.

Since "Ip Man 2", all the movies he starred in, like before "Ip Man 1", have lost money in every movie he made. There is no movie that did not lose money, and even lost more.

The title of "box office poison" was once again given to Zhen Zidan by the industry. In just one week, his value plummeted and fell into the second-tier.

But maybe in Zhen Zidan's eyes, he still has one last chance to turn things around.

That is the 3D mythological blockbuster "Journey to the West: The Great Conqueror in Heaven", which was just scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival these two days, claiming to have invested 500 million yuan and a production cycle of up to 3 years. Zhen Zidan plays the Monkey King in it.

Lin Nan knew that this movie would also be one of the competitors of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", but he would not be timid.

Seeing that the Lunar New Year holiday is not far away, many films in the schedule have begun to prepare for movie promotion.

Ye Ning's phone call went directly to Lin Nan.

"Director Lin, New Police Story 2013 is going to hold a media meeting. Would you like to come over?"

"Media meeting? There's no need to mobilize so many people, right? I'll ask other people from the company to go."

Lin Nan thought about it and still chose to refuse. Isn't this killing a chicken with a sledgehammer?

"Okay, then let Director Yue come?"

"Okay."

Lin Nan hung up the phone and left the office, ready to go home.

"Notify Director Yue and ask him to represent the company to attend the media meeting of New Police Story 2013."

"Okay, Director Lin."

…………

Since the filming of Interstellar was completed at the beginning of the month, Liu Yifei has spent more than 20 days of leisure in a "decadent" way.

Finally today, she went to participate in a talk show on a whim. In her words, "Just take it as going out for a stroll and a ride."

When Lin Nan came back, Liu Yifei was sitting on the sofa and carefully painting her nails.

There were already a few conspicuous rose colors on her white bare feet, full of girlish heart.

Not daring to disturb her, Lin Nan lowered his voice, "Do you want me to help you?"

"No, you painted it crooked last time." Liu Yifei raised her head, rolled her eyes, and refused decisively.

"Haha, you said it was itchy, so you kept moving around..."

Looking at the "murderous" eyes, Lin Nan smiled and shut up.

"I went to the movie channel today and talked about the crew and some things related to "Interstellar". They asked when we can go together."

Liu Yifei suddenly put on a smile and looked at Lin Nan with expectation.

"Together? That's a good idea. It seems that we have never been on a show together!"

Lin Nan nodded and said with certainty.

The main reason is that he rarely participates in talk shows. He went to the movie channel many times before to promote movies.

"Well, I'll go with you next time if there is a chance."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei's smile became even brighter, nodded happily, and continued to apply nail polish.

Lin Nan just sat next to Miss Liu when a phone call came from Wang Changtian.

"Boss Wang, it used to be Boss Han who liked to call after get off work in the afternoon, why do you do the same now?" Lin Nan complained.

"Haha, let me tell you, "Breakup Master" is about to be finished."

"What?" Lin Nan thought there was something wrong with his ears.

How long has it been? It's still a few days away from a month? It's about to be finished?

"You heard it right. Deng Chao's "Breakup Master" will be finished in the next two days." Wang Changtian repeated again.

"Isn't this too fast?"

After saying this, Lin Nan immediately realized that his mindset had not changed again. He thought the other party's movie was a "serious" movie again.

Wang Changtian smiled, changed the subject, and talked about the main purpose of calling:

"Ask Ning Hao when Zhao Liying's scenes will be finished and come back to promote as soon as possible."

There was no need to ask this question again. Lin Nan answered directly:

"Probably around the middle and late next month. I told Ning Hao to adjust the shooting order and finish Zhao Liying's scenes as soon as possible."

"Well, that's good, that's good." After getting the answer he wanted, Wang Changtian didn't talk much and hung up soon.

"A commercial film was almost finished in twenty days?"

Liu Yifei, who had just finished applying nail polish, looked at Lin Nan and asked in astonishment.

You should know that the fastest commercial film Lin Nan shot was "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", but it took about a month.

Moreover, preparations began more than 30 days in advance, nearly 300 people were mobilized, and Lin Nan and Guo Fan shot on two fronts, which greatly shortened the time.

"It's normal. It's a low-cost comedy, and it doesn't pursue acting skills. The script is also a patchwork of various jokes. Of course it's fast.

It may be a hit, but don't think about word of mouth. There are only two results: bad or worse." Lin Nan said with certainty.

…………

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Many people in the circle posted Zhu Yawen's wedding invitation on Weibo. After all, it was a first-line male actor getting married, and he was Lin Nan's best friend.

"According to insiders, Director Lin Nan and Luo Jin, two classmates, will serve as best men for Zhu Yawen at her wedding. This is the first time for them to serve as best men."

"At that time, in addition to many actors and artists in the circle, all members of the 2002 class of the Beijing Film Academy's Performance Department will also be present to attend the wedding. This will be the first time the 2002 class of the Performance Department has reunited 7 years after graduation..."

...

"Fuck you, I'm your best man, and you don't care about my clothes, and you also told me to dress low-key and not steal your limelight?"

Lin Nan held the phone and yelled in the garden. Zhu Yawen, this bastard, is simply taking advantage of you.

"My great director Lin, who made you a great director? When you stand there, not only the reporters, but also the people in the circle may only have eyes for you. Brother, I am getting married, so of course I have to be the protagonist! Hahaha..."

What he said made a lot of sense, and Lin Nan couldn't refute it, but he changed the subject and replied:

"You only sent one invitation card, and the gift money, Yifei and I only gave one."

"Oh, don't, I'll give you another one..."

Before Zhu Yawen finished speaking, Lin Nan hung up directly: "Haha, little guy."

The news of the media meeting of "New Police Story 2013" was also reported.

Jing Tian played Jackie Chan's daughter in the movie. When the latter was interviewed by the media and talked about the love of parents for their children, something went wrong.

I don't know whether the eldest brother was emotional or just casually mentioned his "Little Dragon Girl" very rarely, and showed great apology and guilt.

But when the media reporters continued to ask, he hurriedly shifted the topic to his son, wife and parents.

At this moment, the Internet is all discussing this matter. Is the eldest brother going to leave property to the "illegitimate daughter"?

But it's hard to say whether the original wife agrees or not. She is also a powerful person!

…………

Liu Yifei is already preparing a dress for Zhu Yawen's wedding banquet, and even asked Lin Nan if he wanted to ask someone to help him make clothes.

"No need, just wear any one. If you steal his limelight, he will be angry with me?"

"Haha, you two."

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei's slender figure walking back and forth in the cloakroom and choosing clothes, which was very pleasing to the eye.

However, Yue Jun's call broke his mood.

"Director Lin, do you have time there? Maybe you need to go back to the company."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei signaled that they would go downstairs to wait first. Miss Liu waved her hand: "Well, you go."

"What's the matter? Do you want me to go back?"

"Noon Sunshine's producer Hou Hongliang is here and wants to see you."

Lin Nan had an impression when he heard the name of this company.

This company was just established two years ago, and almost all of its staff members are from Shanying, a well-established state-owned enterprise specializing in TV drama production.

Hou Hongliang is also a well-known figure in the TV drama circle and a veteran of Shanying.

"Are they in the company now? How many?"

"Yes, producer Hou Hongliang and an assistant are in the company."

"Okay, you entertain them first, I'll be there in a while."

"Okay, Director Lin."

Lin Nan looked at the second floor and shouted, "Xixi, I'm going back to the company."

"Are you back from lunch? Mom and the nanny will be back in a while."

"No need to wait for me."

...

Lin Nan drove straight to the company.

To be honest, Lin Nan Pictures and this company, which was established less than two years ago, have never dealt with each other.

Even if the other party is an old man in the film and television industry, they have only met in some large occasions, and at most they are just nodding acquaintances.

In fact, the person who is most familiar with the other party in Lin Nan Pictures may still be Jiang Xingrou, after all, they were both in the TV drama industry before.

"Producer Hou, have some tea first. Director Lin has just left. It will take more than half an hour for him to arrive."

Yue Jun sat opposite Hou Hongliang, smiling and making a gesture of invitation.

"Director Yue is too polite. I came here today to ask for something."

Almost everyone in the circle knows the butler of Lin Nan Film.

As Hou Hongliang spoke, he looked at the man in front of him: Yue Jun, graduated from Beijing Film Academy with a major in production and marketing. He was originally an unknown person in Qingying Studio, but since he followed Lin Nan, he has completely soared to the sky!

Hou Hongliang came here today with a mission. Noon Sunshine has been established for more than a year and urgently needs works to open up the situation.

But it was not easy to see some high-quality things, but after asking around, I found out that Lin Nan Film had already taken the lead at the beginning of the year!

…………

During this period, my work and rest time was indeed disordered. I couldn't relax after staying up all night. It is very likely that there will be only one chapter today.
