Chapter 645: Breaking the Record, "Mermaid" Project Launched
"Controlled by Enlight, co-produced by Lin Nan Pictures, and the debut of director Deng Chao, the movie "The Breakup Master" had a box office of 39.66 million on its first day. The film's reputation has been severely polarized..."
"Controlled by Lin Nan Pictures and jointly produced and produced by Ying Huang, the third installment in the "Ip Man" series, "Ip Man 3," grossed 42.14 million at the box office on the first day of release. The reputation remains the same and the action scenes are exciting!"
"On the first day of its release, the Hollywood imported science fiction blockbuster "Transformers 4" earned an astonishing box office of 174 million with a super-high screening rate of 54%!"
""Transformers 4" has broken and refreshed the first-day box office record and single-day box office record in the mainland film market within one day of its release! It is targeting the highest box office record in the mainland film market!"
…
On just the first day, "Transformers 4" let the entire domestic film and television industry know what "blockbuster suppression" means.
At other times, the first-day figures of "Ip Man 3" and "The Breakup Master" can be regarded as high box office.
But put it next to "Transformers 4", it's obviously unattractive and looks very poor.
Looking at the movie market yesterday, these three films almost dominated the market, accounting for more than 95% of the box office.
More than ten other movies contributed less than 5% of the box office. If these films are not cannon fodder, what are they?
“The film schedule is high, the ticket price is high, and the reputation is good.
There is a high probability that this "Transformers 4" will beat the box office record of "Taking Tiger Mountain" in the mainland film market! "
On the phone, Wang Changtian joked with a smile.
"Just brush it off. Internet companies have already entered the market. The further we go, the more water the movie box office records will have. What's more, I am gradually becoming bearish on these things."
What Lin Nan said is true. If you keep chasing some box office record, your life will be too tiring. Being burdened by fame is not what he wants.
And to be honest, with Lin Nan's current performance, awards are actually more important than box office records.
Box office records are only temporary, awards are lifelong!
Director Chen Kaige is a living example right there. Once a movie is made, it will make no less money than those movies with high box office.
"Listen to your tone, people who don't know would think you are showing off. Haha..."
"I'm smiling, Mr. Wang, but I still have to say that the movie Deng Chao is indeed a bit bad." Lin Nan said directly.
"It's his first time as a director, so he understands it. What's more, the marketing department told me after analysis that there is an 80% chance that this movie will be a hit. Just make money, don't worry about what to do."
Lin Nan couldn't refute Wang Changtian's statement, it was very true.
"Besides, you should worry about your box office record. Many colleagues in the industry are waiting to see your jokes, haha..."
Hearing this, Lin Nan was a little speechless:
"Even if it breaks the box office record of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom," I'm still the record holder for domestic films. Besides..."
"say what?"
""Transformers 4" only has one month. If it succeeds in breaking the box office record of "Taking Tiger Mountain" within one month, then I can't do anything about it. But if it doesn't break the record within one month, even if it is just one short Millions, then it has no chance.”
"As you said, others can't apply for an extension?" Wang Changtian retorted immediately.
"Director Wang, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" won't be released until the end of March. The relevant leaders of China Film and Film Bureau have only written a three-month report as of today... They don't want to write it for longer?"
"Oops, I forgot about this! Once the record is refreshed by an imported film, even though "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" still retains the title of domestic film box office record, the credit and political achievements will still be greatly reduced!"
"Hahaha, that's right. I'm sure that if "Transformers 4" doesn't break the record within a month, at least Mr. La Dong will definitely object to extending it."
After hearing Lin Nan's vow, Wang Changtian believed it. He took a deep breath and sighed: "Tsk, tsk, you are such a brain!"
…
Lin Nan was busy all morning, either answering calls or replying to messages.
After Wang Changtian, it was Yang Shoucheng, and many acquaintances in the industry were also sending messages to make fun of him.
It is said that only two films invested by Lin Nan Pictures withstood the pressure and did not fall!
Following the feedback from the box office data on the first day, theaters once again increased the total number of films scheduled for the three films, and a large number of domestic films were completely abandoned.
Huayi, Chairman's Office.
Although the current situation of the group is very good, the faces of Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei are not very good at this time.
Because the person below just reported that Lin Nan is selling stocks again, and has been trading for four consecutive days, and today is the fifth day.
"An average of about 300,000 shares a day, and so far today he has sold nearly 1.5 million shares. It's obvious that he is clearing out positions one after another!"
Wang Zhongjun said indifferently, with disdain in his tone.
Lin Nan's selling behavior this time did not have much impact on the rising trend of stock prices, because Huayi is now favored by all investors.
"The stock price obviously still has a lot of room for growth, but he wants to withdraw from such a high-quality investment early? Isn't he short of money?" Wang Zhonglei was a little confused.
"Just retreat, we don't need him anymore. When the stock price exceeds 100, he will regret it."
Wang Zhongjun said with a sneer, and then looked at Wang Zhonglei: "The film and television industry is too small, real estate, finance, and the Internet are our future direction..."
...
For three consecutive days, the Chinese film and television industry was in a boiling state.
"The Breakup Master closed at 39.66 million on Friday, 47.1 million on Saturday, and 46.7 million on Sunday, and cut 134 million in the first three days of the weekend."
"Ip Man 3 continued to rise, with 42.14 million, 49.23 million, 51.54 million, and 142.82 million in the first weekend, ranking second."
"The imported blockbuster Transformers 4 once again broke the single-day box office record:
After closing at 174 million on the first day, the second and third days earned 223 million and 213 million box office respectively, and the first three days of the weekend totaled 610 million!"
The mainland production industry and countless film companies were basically all dumbfounded and couldn't believe this box office data.
Just like when Avatar first landed in the domestic market, everyone was hit hard and a little confused.
The producers of the movies to be released in July were all a little scared and couldn't help but have the idea of dodging.
Although it was hot online, Lin Nan didn't care too much. He didn't go to the company for the past two or three days and stayed at home.
Liu Yifei was video chatting with Shu Chang at the moment. Today, she was filming the last two scenes of "The Sword of Assassins 2: Shura Battlefield". The news of the completion will be officially announced tomorrow morning.
"My flight tomorrow morning will arrive around 10:50. Remember to pick me up. I will go to your place for lunch. Tell Auntie that I want to eat shrimp..."
Shu Chang was nagging Liu Yifei there, and Miss Liu kept nodding with a smile, "Well, I will set the alarm to pick you up."
Lin Nan watched and listened on the side. The feeling of this scene was really warm.
"You are really not polite at all, Changchang."
"Oh, there is no need to be polite with Xixi. Right, Xixi?"
Hearing Lin Nan's laughter, Shu Chang quickly replied.
"Haha, yes, that's right."
The two girls were chatting and chatting.
Lin Nan picked up the phone and signaled Miss Liu, then walked to the lawn outside, where a call came in.
The sun was not very strong today, and the dogs playing around Lin Nan on the lawn and the cats sleeping lazily in the sun formed a sharp contrast.
Lin Nan stroked the orange cat while answering Pei Kang's phone call.
"Has Zhou Xingchi decided to officially announce this project tomorrow?"
"Yes, there will be a nationwide audition for the heroine, and the casting and audition of other major roles in the entire film and television industry. He hopes that we can provide assistance in publicity."
Lin Nan understood this, "Okay, my company will also issue an announcement, and at most add my personal Weibo.
You can't add my name to the promotional poster for the heroine audition, right? I don't agree with this."
"It's not that he's promoting someone for nothing, haha..."
Hearing this, Lin Nan felt relieved, just worried that some of the companies would have some tricks, after all, he is also very appealing.
He would not use his fame to promote the Star Girls.
Suddenly, Lin Nan thought of Jing Tian again. She should be the only one who is also half a "Lin Girl", right? She debuted with Ning Hao's MV, and her first movie was Lin Nan's "The Martian".
Back in the villa, Miss Liu hadn't finished chatting yet, and Zhang Yi and others also appeared this time.
"Director Lin, Director Lu said that the wrap-up party can only be held after returning to the capital. The crew overspent and has no money, haha..."
"Over 10 million."
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan and smiled helplessly. She is the producer, and all the account details will be reported to her by the production team.
"The cost has been raised from 90 million to 100 million? Then the box office must be higher than "One Man's Martial Arts"!"
Lin Nan joked that an overspending of 10 million is not much.
…………
On a new day, the production industry habitually pays attention to yesterday's box office data.
I want to see if "Transformers 4" is still so fierce after entering the week.
But the headlines of Weibo's hot searches have forced the attention of the entire film industry to focus on it.
All the actors in the film and television industry are excited, and the opportunity has come!
"Xinghui Company announced that after a year and a half since "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", director Zhou Xingchi's new film "The Mermaid" has officially been approved."
"The movie "The Mermaid" has an initial investment of 300 million yuan, and is jointly produced by Xinghui, China Film, Shanghai Film, and Lin Nan Film. Director Zhou Xingchi wrote and directed it."
"For this movie casting, the heroine "Mermaid" is required to be an amateur actor, and a three-month audition will be held nationwide. During this period, the rest of the roles will be open to auditions and invitations from the film and television industry."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Nan Film, China Film, and Shanghai Film successively released the project announcement of "The Mermaid".
After Lin Nan was woken up by the alarm clock, he squinted his eyes and posted a Weibo, then covered his head and went back to sleep.
At this time, the Internet and the circle had completely exploded.
