Chapter 583 Sooner or Later, Chen Kaige Will Be Defeated

"After several years, director Feng Xiaogang returns to the Lunar New Year season with a comedy. "Private Customization" sold well at the box office on its first day, with a revenue of 71.5 million."

Media reports have allowed the industry to once again see the dominance and combat effectiveness of Feng's comedy in the Lunar New Year period.

Now that the Lunar New Year holiday is still a month away, the producers of films that have not been released or are about to be released are all on pins and needles and under increased pressure.

Because judging from the current feedback from the film market, "Private Customization" has nakedly revealed its fangs for the Lunar New Year box office dominance.

On the other hand, whether it is actors and actresses in the industry or online viewers and fans, most of them have very good reviews.

The former may also have reasons to curry favor with Hua Yi and Feng Xiaogang.

But the latter group gave it good reviews simply because they watched a very good movie.

As for comedy, the requirements shouldn't be too high. As long as it's not vulgar or forced to be funny, even if the plot is heavy on the front and light on the back, everyone's acceptance will not be low.

Moreover, "Private Customization" incorporates many sharp topics in reality, and with a group of professional actors, it is really eye-catching.

Especially the lines in it spread quickly and became a hot topic of discussion on Weibo:

…

"You can do it if you are a driver, but you cannot do it if you are a leader. You can only have one belief."

"I really want to worship you. When it closes at night, I will bring you here quietly."

"I haven't taken anything from them, how do they know I don't accept gifts?"

“If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Don’t block me and let bad social trends come in.

I can refuse to accept it, but they cannot refuse to deliver it! "

"Do you call this bribery? Do you call this asking me to do something?

Use this to test cadres? Which cadre cannot withstand such a test? "

"After a few more years, the hormones will stop secreting completely, and I will feel at ease..."

"You have donated one billion, why are you not willing to donate a car?

——Because I really have a car. "

"Work hard and I'll find you a sister-in-law next year."

…

Undoubtedly, the most eye-catching part of this movie is the part starring Fan Wei.

In the words of the majority of netizens: "Power, fame, money, favors, beauty... there is always one of them that can corrupt you!"

No, the leader driver played by Fan Wei who wanted to be a high official eventually fell under the beauty of Li Xiaolu.

Unlike most of the audience's praise, the film critics have found work again.

Strangely enough, every time Feng Xiaogang's movie is released, he is scolded by film critics.

That is to say, when "1942" was released, the scolding was a little quieter, but it was still scolding.

In their words, "Private Customization" is a castrated version of "Party A and Party B" that is completely copied and shot.

This movie is just junk and bad stuff that Feng Xiaogang is eager for quick success and shoddy to make money.

Feng Xiaogang was like a target to build his reputation, and was bombarded and abused by the film critics.

It is true that Director Feng made this movie just to make quick money to make up for the shortfall of "1942".

He is also willing to accept the scolding from the audience, because the audience spent money to scold him, and he suffers it.

But he is not used to film critics.

There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, "Little Steel Cannon" posted 7 Weibo posts in a row, refuting and criticizing one by one:

"The audience scolded me, but I admit, what kind of big-tailed wolves are you?"

"Watching movies that are free of charge, and even charging money, the scoldings don't even get the point, they are uneducated and have no skills, they only know how to hammer...",

"So many of you have relied on me for food all these years, how come I can only support you white-eyed wolf sons?"

…

In this way, Feng Xiaogang fought against the film critics team with one against a hundred, and countless netizens waved their support.

This great drama that comes and goes has all the filmmakers in the industry applauding and applauding, it is wonderful!

71.5 million on the first day, 71.1 million on the second day, 98.86 million on the third day, and 72.86 million on the fourth day!

In this way, "Private Order" was released for 4 days and earned 314 million in its first weekend.

The media and film and television circles are all sensational, not because of the outstanding box office data of this first weekend, but because of the daily box office.

The media has been reporting for two consecutive days:

"On Saturday, the third day of its release, "Private Order" has a daily box office of 98.86 million, breaking the single-day box office record of 78.05 million for domestic films held by "The Genius" directed by Lin Nan."

It’s been two days, but the industry still can’t believe it. The record has been broken like this?

Many people also posted about Aitlinan on Weibo and asked him jokingly what he thought.

What can Lin Nan think?

He just "swiped" and forwarded another piece of movie information that was also hot news on Weibo.

"Director Lin Nan's "The Invisible Guest" has been released in the North American film market for three weeks, with a total box office of US$194.1 million, and is about to cross the US$200 million box office mark."

Although North America is not like China, there are strict release time restrictions.

But the box office trend is the same everywhere, with daily revenue getting lower and lower. When the box office is gone, the movie will naturally be canceled by the theaters.

Just like now, Tom told Lin Nan that the daily box office has dropped to more than three million dollars, and it will definitely be less than one million dollars at the beginning of next month.

…

On the 23rd, it was around four in the afternoon.

"You two really don't want to come with me?"

Lin Nan stood at the door and asked Liu Yifei and Shu Chang for the second time.

"No, I'm busy."

Miss Liu looked up and smiled sweetly, and refused directly.

"Yes, I won't go."

Shu Chang also echoed, "Ah, Xixi save me."

"You are stupid, running to me."

Looking at the two people arguing and bickering, Lin Nan smiled and shook his head, the business of online games?

"Okay, I'll go alone."

After saying that, Lin Nan went to the garage.

In the movie market, "Personal Customization" is far ahead.

After the premiere of "New Police Story 2013" tonight, it will also join the Lunar New Year battle tomorrow.

After all, Lin Nan also invested 30 million, so he must go to show his support.

In December, it gets dark earlier.

At about five o'clock and six o'clock, Lin Nan arrived at Wanda Cinema, and it was already dark.

But this is the capital, the city's lights are brilliant, and the sky above is reflected in a somewhat unnatural brightness.

Wanda, Starlight, Lin Nan Pictures, units under the Ministry of Public Security... Jackie Chan, Jing Tian, ​​Liu Ye...

There are countless people in the circle who support this kind of lineup.

When Lin Nan walked the red carpet alone, he was asked by reporters why Liu Yifei didn't come.

He almost replied that he was at home fighting monsters and leveling up to complete tasks!

Wanda's generosity is quite large. The entire cinema closed at 12 noon just for the premiere in the evening.

"Hey, isn't this our director of the 200 million US dollar box office club? Just wait for the data to be updated at noon tomorrow!"

With Ning Hao's joke, a large number of people in the circle began to congratulate Lin Nan.

"Low-key, low-key."

Although the box office of "Bad Genius" was converted to more than 200 million US dollars, "The Invisible Guest" was different.

The latter was released in North America and the box office was directly calculated in US dollars. Among the mainland directors, Lin Nan was indeed the first.

"Director Lin, why is he alone today? Where is Yifei?"

Jackie Chan led Jing Tian and other main creators and walked over.

"Brother Lin."

Lin Nan nodded to Jing Tian, ​​then looked at Jackie Chan and said seriously: "She and Shu Chang are busy with other things."

"Brother, Tian Tian, ​​you should go and entertain other guests, I don't need to take care of this."

"Haha, you are the producer, of course you don't need to entertain."

Jackie Chan laughed and joked. After the few people chatted for four or five minutes, he led the main creators away.

When Lin Nan came here tonight, he didn't think about socializing, he just came to watch movies and eat.

Ning Hao was also the focus of the scene. "No Man's Land" was released for 20 days and ended with a box office of 260 million, making a lot of money.

"This person looks a little forced to smile?"

Seeing Zhong Lifang turned her head and walked away, Lin Nan came up and asked.

"Xiao Ma only has one week left. In just a short while, she has already met with several giant companies such as Huayi, Bona, and Chengtian."

Ning Hao glanced around and whispered:

"No one is willing to help, and it's good enough that they don't add insult to injury. Half an hour ago, Wang Zhonglei directly invited Zhong Lifang to join Huayi in front of everyone, giving her shares."

"So he refused?"

Ning Hao nodded, "Very straightforward, saying that Director Li trusts him very much and it is impossible for him to change jobs."

"Quite a character. But in a week, there is a high probability that he will have a cash debt of more than 1 billion." Lin Nan muttered with a smile.

After Ning Hao and I stayed in the corner and cracked melon seeds for a while, the premiere began.

In the first row, there were two official people in uniforms, who came to support the platform.

Lin Nan and Ning Hao's seats were next to each other, and the two stared at the big screen, ready to watch this "custom film".

As time passed, Lin Nan could only sigh that it really had nothing to do with the previous "Police Story" series.

This is a pure domestic police movie, with a lot of helplessness and constraints.

Jackie Chan is no longer the "flying over the eaves and walking on the walls", fighting and falling, and Jing Tian's crying scene is pretty good.

"Will the theater be booked?" Ning Hao asked in a low voice.

"How do I know, but there should be some care."

Lin Nan glanced at the two people in uniform and was 60% to 70% sure.

"Tsk tsk tsk, isn't that a sure win..."

The movie ended quickly, without the media questioning session in the past. When I walked out of the theater, the dinner outside was ready.

Next is socializing or a serious meal, it depends on everyone's own choice.

Lin Nan didn't care about that, he found a secluded corner and sat down.

At the banquet, the actors were always busy and smiling, but seeing Lin Nan's look of keeping strangers away, no one dared to disturb him.

It was rare that Lin Nan had a quiet meal.

He got up and left before 10 p.m., and did not accept Ye Ning and others' requests to stay.

…

The next morning, Monday's box office data was reported.

The daily box office of "Personal Tailor" dropped from 72.86 million to 32.65 million.

Even if it was due to the week, the drop was indeed a bit scary.

Obviously, Feng Xiaogang's quarrel with the film critics still brought some negative effects.

Huayi, the atmosphere in the chairman's office was a bit depressing at this time.

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei's faces were not very good, but it was not because of the daily box office.

"Personal Tailor" is a movie that has been a big hit in the Lunar New Year box office. Even if "New Police Story 2013" is released, it will not pose a threat. It fully meets the rigid requirements, but..."

Wang Zhonglei stopped talking halfway.

On the second day after the movie was released, he went to the Film Bureau to apply for an extension key for "Personal Tailor" for a month.

I thought it was a sure thing, but the notice from the Film Bureau this morning was: rejected!

"The box office data of the movies that have been released in the Lunar New Year are all on the Internet. We have no opponents." Wang Zhongjun said coldly.

"But the notice from the Film Bureau is also here, rejecting the application for the extension key, and the reasons are: not meeting the conditions! They don't even say which one is not met?"

Wang Zhonglei cursed, but he knew in his heart that this was a random excuse, and he couldn't even ask.

…………

Lin Nan was yawning in the office, with a printed list of actors and a stack of actor information on the desk.

This was sent by Hou Hongliang in the morning, just printed out.

Lin Nan is used to reading paper copies, which are more comfortable for the eyes, rather than electronic versions.

"This is their list of cast members. To be honest, I don't believe that there is no personal connection here."

Yue Jun stood opposite the desk, leaned over and pointed at the first block on the list with his finger, and joked with a smile.

Lin Nan also laughed, "It's quite something."

From the list of cast members, Liu Tao will play the role of Princess Nihuang, and will call Hu Ge "Brother Lin Shu".

This person looks older, and is actually four years older than Hu Ge.

This made Lin Nan subconsciously think of another legendary figure, Liu Xiaoqing.

"Hiss, goose bumps."

"Haha, I remember that she announced in front of the media that she would retire from the entertainment industry and concentrate on taking care of her husband and children in the future." Yue Jun laughed.

Lin Nan thought about the artists around him.

Well, he had to admit one thing, even if he wanted to replace this person, there was really no one to choose for a while.

"Director Lin, did this list pass or fail? I can reply to them."

"Wait a minute."

…………

Lin Nan once again made headlines in the media and became the most prominent one in the circle.

"Lin Nan's work, "The Invisible Guest", was released in the North American film market for 23 days, and the box office officially exceeded 200 million, closing at 202.1 million US dollars..."

"The Oscars are about to enter the nomination voting phase..."

This is really different. In the past, Lin Nan had the title of an international director with the Golden Lion and Silver Bear trophies.

Now, he has the most important actual box office results, and has crossed the threshold of 200 million US dollars in the North American film market. It is really perfect.

To be honest, he is definitely the most dazzling director in the domestic film industry now.

Although there is still a Golden Palm in front of him, Lin Nan thinks that he is young and will be able to beat Chen Kaige sooner or later!
