That year Huayu

The Film Bureau has rarely released the domestic box office data rankings for the first quarter.

Except for "Pacific Rim", which is a co-production and topped the list with a box office of 1.42 billion.

The second to fifth places are all imported blockbusters such as "Mission: Impossible 4", "Alien Battlefield", and "Sherlock Holmes 2".

In other words, imported films accounted for four and a half of the top five box office rankings in the first quarter. And the box office share is more than 60%!

Looking at this detailed data, production companies in the industry are a little bit depressed. It won't be like this for the whole year, right?

Although everyone uses loud slogans when promoting, swearing that their own movies will never lose to imported movies! But every time the box office data came out, it was a slap in the face with no other results.

This year is another year in which imported films surge, and many film companies have even less confidence.

…

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei contributed to the box office of "Titanic 3D".

The theater was absolutely packed with people, all coming for this movie, and the attendance rate was very high.

In the screening room, the light was very dark. Even so, the two girls next door stared at Ms. Liu for a long time. Finally, one of them made a joke: You look like Liu Yifei!

When Lin Nan heard this, he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. Liu Yifei was still playful and replied with a smile: "Really? Everyone said that."

…

Most of the girls were immersed in the plot, and occasionally lamented the shock of the 3D effect, as if the Titanic was about to sail off the screen...

Lin Nan was more impressed by the technology of Cameron's team.

You know, it is quite difficult to use technology to reset an old 2D film into a 3D blockbuster that is not inferior to real shots, and the picture quality is so good. It is time-consuming, labor-intensive and money-consuming.

What's more, the visual effects are even more shocking than many real-life 3D shots nowadays!

…

When the movie was about to end, Liu Yifei was exposed, and Lin Nan definitely couldn't escape.

If it weren't for the help of security guards, the two of them almost wouldn't be able to leave the cinema and were surrounded by people.

A group of people with red eyes who have just watched a movie surround you and ask for a photo. The scene must be so weird.

The key point is that Liu Yifei also has red eyes. How can this be photogenic?

"You are still laughing, everyone is infected by the plot, and you are just there having a good time."

Sitting on the passenger seat, Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Lin Nan and thought to herself.

She was wearing no makeup today, and now her face was rosy and pink, which was really beautiful.

"I also wanted to be affected by the plot, but when I saw Jack in the movie, I couldn't help but think of Leonardo in real life.

Where are the handsome guys? Now he is an uncle, a stubble-faced uncle, a very fancy one! Recently I heard that there seems to be another underwear model..."

Lin Nan said with a teasing smile. After dealing with DiCaprio up close, he really couldn't look directly at "Titanic".

"Pfft, how can you say that to others?

However, he is indeed too carefree, you should learn from it! Otherwise, hum..."

…………

The next day, the first-day box office of "Titanic 3D" was released.

The entire production industry, especially the domestic films released in April, looks like it is facing a formidable enemy.

"After 15 years, "Titanic" was re-released in 3D, and the box office revenue on the first day was 73.2 million!"

"Today's attendance rate is better than yesterday's, and major theater chains will simultaneously increase their film schedules."

"Liu Yifei and Lin Nan appeared in the theater to watch "Titanic" and were recognized by the audience, causing congestion in the theater..."

…

What does the first-day box office of 73.2 million and overwhelmingly positive reviews mean?

This means that the box office potential of the 3D version of "Titanic" will last throughout April, and if it can be postponed, it will also enter May.

High-profile domestic films such as "The Great Robbery", "Killing Life" and "Everyone" have all felt tremendous pressure.

Ning Hao called Lin Nan:

"Oh, you really hit the mark. It's been 15 years and this 'ship' is still so powerful!

I decided to double the publicity intensity in the future..."

Not only "Heist", "Everyone" and "Killing" have also begun intensive promotion.

Movie posters and promotional videos are all over the theaters and media, and many actors and stars on Weibo are helping with advertising.

…………

Hong Kong Island Film Awards, the awards were presented.

As the public had expected, all the shortlisted films under Yinghuang have failed.

All members of the "Let the Bullets Fly" crew, which had 13 nominations, were not present. But when it comes to awarding awards, this movie is still brought up again and again to make excuses and undercut the film, which is full of irony.

Jiang Wen couldn't stand this anger, so he immediately started writing a short composition on Weibo, the kind that didn't include a single curse word!

…

This year, there are already signs of dire straits in the mainland's film and television entertainment industry.

On the film side, it is facing a strong impact from imported films; on the entertainment side, South Korea is also eyeing it.

EXO, which had just debuted, became so popular in the mainland and even firmly occupied the headlines of entertainment news, which is incredible.

Huang Xiaoming was very smart and decided to prepare for the premiere of "Everyman" in advance.

He personally called and invited Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, so he had to give them face.

Huang Bo had previously said with certainty that he would only come back to attend the premiere of "Killing", but now he had to take time off and fly back to participate in promotional activities.

…………

"Director Lin, Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster" has just been announced. The industry is hotly discussing this matter right now. Zhang Ziyi is taking the lead, and many celebrities are posting messages to celebrate..."

Lin Nan opened the webpage, and the news about "The Grandmaster" was refreshing rapidly. Among them, Zhang Ziyi's Weibo was the most eye-catching:

"After many years of preparation and two and a half years of filming, "The Grandmaster" directed by Wang Jiawei will definitely become a classic. I am honored to have the opportunity to star in this movie. See you in the Lunar New Year..."

""The Grandmaster" is my return to work after Hollywood, and it is my most thoughtful film..."

…

…

Even the film crew just made a simple announcement, and the other actors just posted a Weibo post.

Zhang Ziyi alone was the most "excited", posting five or six Weibo posts in a row, flattering, flattering, grateful and excited...

Lin Nan couldn't help but smile, "This should be the biggest director and crew she has worked with since she was kicked out of Hollywood, right?"

"Well, it seems like this. When it comes to utilitarianism, this person has it written all over his face, but he has been very unsuccessful in the past few years..."

Zhang Ziyi's current position in the industry is very embarrassing.

She had a high starting point, but she couldn't afford the box office.

In those few years, I went to Hollywood, where I was very successful for a while, belittled and offended many domestic big stars, and ignored and lost the mainland market.

After that, she was kicked out, and when she came back, there was no place for her to stay in the mainland, and the big flowers had already divided the basic market.

She can no longer access the top resources, and she doesn't like the ordinary ones. In general, she has been resting on her laurels.

I even met with Lin Nan several times during the process and had the idea of ​​making a movie, but in the end Lin Nan rejected them as inappropriate.

This "The Grandmaster" is the best resource she has come into contact with. She just got it after sharing time with her foreigner boyfriend. At that time, the outside world didn't know that she had been dumped.

Thinking about it, Zhang Ziyi should hope that this movie can be released as soon as possible more than anyone else.

…

"Many media have begun to make trouble with "Ip Man" again. They are asking our company when "Ip Man" will be released?"

"After "One Man's Martial Arts" is over, we can prepare for "Ip Man 3"."

…………

"Avengers" will only be screened less than five times at the Capital International Film Festival, and it is still an uncut version.

Due to the poor nature of domestic film festivals, it is difficult for ordinary people to get in to films screened like this. Most of them are insiders or media.

Lin Nan thinks that when the time comes, he can take Liu Yifei to watch this popcorn movie. Therefore, he specially got a few tickets from China Film Academy.

"This is the first time you've taken the initiative to take me to a movie! When did I not propose it before?"

Liu Yifei complained about Lin Nan, but she smiled brightly.

"Miss Liu is right. I was careless. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."

Lin Nan patted her chest and promised, feeling a little embarrassed when Miss Liu pointed out her shortcomings.

…………

Huayi announced the cast of "Shendu Dragon King" and the film will start shooting in early May.

The audience and netizens were a little unacceptable. Because except for Liu Jialing, the cast has been completely changed.

Andy Lau's Dee Renjie was replaced by Zhao Youting, and all the old actors from the first film were replaced by young actors, including Feng Shaofeng, Lin Gengxin, and Chen Kun, which seemed to be chasing the fan base.

Even the female lead has become a newcomer like Yang Ying who has no acting skills. The first one was Li Bingbing!

Although the costume props in the first part were sprayed all over, the storyline is really good.

Nowadays, there is a big change of actors. In the eyes of many people, there must be some "dirty" and "conspiracy" in it. After all, which series would do this? Aren’t they all trying to be as original as possible?

"It is suspected that Andy Lau and other leading actors were paid too high for the film. Hua Yi forcefully asked Xu Ke to change the role to reduce production costs."

"In order to promote his own artists, Huayi did not hesitate to replace all acting schools..."

"The actors are not on the same level, so praising Yang Ying is too unrealistic."

…

The same investment is 130 million, but replaced by a group of cheaper young people;

People in the industry have wondered whether the special effects cost of Huayi's movie will account for a larger proportion. Otherwise, how could the investment amount be the same as the first movie?

…

"Titanic 3D" is really powerful. The daily box office has remained above 70 million, 80 million, 90 million...

Production companies that have movies scheduled to be released in April are already starting to get frightened. How can this be fun?

In two days, there are still several imported blockbusters such as "Operation Miami", "Operation New York", "Battleship" and "Soul Tank 2", so there is nothing to play!

Lin Nan saw Ning Hao's speech in front of the media:

"Nowadays, domestic films, facing imported Hollywood films, can only fight guerrillas. There is no other way..."
