That year Huayu

If he hadn't heard Liu Yifei talk about it, Lin Nan wouldn't have known that Shen Teng and Ma Li actually had a comedy film "One Thought in Heaven" that was also released today.

However, although "Charlotte Trouble" made the two of them popular;

But when it comes to box office appeal and audience influence in the domestic film market, the two of them are “newcomers” after all;

Compared to Lin Nan, there is naturally a world of difference, and it is difficult to compare with him.

So much so that "One Thought in Heaven" didn't even have half of the popularity, and was completely stepped on by "Detective Chinatown";

Even "Bad Angel", which has completely shown its decline at the daily box office, has a higher attendance rate than it did.

"Because other companies invited Shen Teng and Ma Li to star, we Mahua don't have much obligation to help promote it. Naturally, we are embarrassed to disturb you, Director Lin."

Yan Fei explained with a smile, and Lin Nan understood immediately. This was because other film and television companies in the industry wanted to take advantage of the popularity of "Shen Ma Group" and "Charlotte Trouble"!

"Then when you get back, I wish them both good luck."

In the office, Lin Nan joked while flipping through the revenue report of Happy Mahua brought by Yan Fei.

"Director Lin, are you talking sarcastically?

Today, except for "Detective Chinatown", other movies are so miserable, you will suck them dry. Ha ha……"

Lin Nan was embarrassed to be modest in the face of Yan Fei's teasing.

Because from morning to now, the media reports have already explained the problem: the attendance rate of "Detective Chinatown" is very explosive, as high as over 90%;

Coupled with the 58.88% film scheduling rate, today’s daily box office performance can be imagined - it belongs to "Detective Chinatown"!

Ten minutes later, Lin Nan personally sent Yan Fei out of the company because he was about to leave work. It was already 11:30 in the morning.

…

Since the afternoon, the number of online reviews and discussion posts about "Detective Chinatown" has shown a sharp increase, mobilizing the enthusiasm of almost all viewers on the Internet.

"I'm not going to lie, it really made me laugh to death! Wang Baoqiang, Xiao Yang and Chen He contributed 99% of the laughter in the whole movie, hahaha..."

"Who said Zeng Xiaoxian has no acting skills? After the whole movie, his nose kept suffering..."

"Zeng Xiaoxian, the reason why you can't be the deputy director is not because you are not capable enough, but because you don't have as much fun as Xiao Yang. He slept with the director's wife!"

"This will definitely be a famous scene. The oily Xiao Yang contributed an absolutely famous scene - 'I sue you for slander! He is slandering! He is slandering!' , I really can’t help but laugh.”

"When Xiao Yang was exposed by Wang Baoqiang that he slept with the director's wife, his acting... hahaha..."

"Zhu Yawen's sissy is very good..."

"As the movie progresses towards the end, I feel more and more horrified. The adopted daughter 'kills' her adopted father. That look in her eyes...it's so scary when you think about it."

"In the entire movie, there is a main character who has never shown up from beginning to end, that is, Sinuo's classmate and good friend 'Dan'. Is he just missing? Or was he killed? Or is he hiding? This is a mystery. A deliberate loophole?"

"According to the plot hint, 'Sinuo' and 'Dan' are very good friends, and 'Sinuo' is the perfect criminal, so she will not kill 'Dan'."

"This ending leaves room for open imagination: Will 'Dan' come back on his own after a while? When 'Sinuo' informs him that he can come back?"

"I have a darker point of view here:

'Sinuo' has an adoptive father who has morbid thoughts about her; 'Dan' on the other side also has a gay father who hides it well from the outside world. So, it cannot be ruled out that this father also has twisted feelings towards his own son...

The two children were good friends and both wanted to get rid of their 'evil' and 'dark' families, so they teamed up to set up a trap to kill the two adults! "

"Fuck, I fully support the point of view above, because 'Sinuo' has such a brain!"

"+1"

"+1"

"+1"

"Aite Nortel:

When Director Lin chose Liu Haoran, others had already applied for the Chinese Opera, and were even admitted in advance because of this, so you may have felt very aggrieved when you were laughed at by the crowd!

However, this Zhang Zifeng is not yet old enough to take the art exam, so remember to be careful and don’t let others get away with you, especially if you run away to win a drama! Ha ha……"

"Good guy, are you openly mocking the film academy?"

"No, this is just another stab after countless great directors from Nortel stabbed their alma mater."

"What are you talking about? This is obviously a kind reminder! Haha..."

…

In the afternoon, more than half of the hot searches on Weibo were "Detective Chinatown".

The Weibo posts of Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and even the main creators were all flooded, with almost all of them praising the film and asking about the plot and clarification.

Faced with this overwhelming excitement and the inquiries about the "dark plot" setting, Lin Nan remained silent;

Because I, as a director and screenwriter, do not give a final conclusion and allow the discussion posts and enthusiasm on the Internet to ferment unchecked, this will be beneficial to the film’s influence and publicity!

Hua Yi may have felt the pressure, as Feng Xiaogang once again "waved the flag and cheered" for "Lao Pao Er" on Weibo;

Of course, he will definitely not forget to bring along the two people with the most appeal among fans:

""Lao Pao'er" is full of the flavor of the alleys of Laosijiucheng in that era. It is the authentic flavor of Lao Pao'er, the unforgettable memories of the past and the lost years of youth...

Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng are both very healthy and sunny children. They have paid a lot for this movie;

I feel that I have gained a lot from getting to know them through this filming; they will definitely be the mainstays of the film and television industry in the future, and "Old Paoer" is the starting point for their qualitative change..."

To be honest, when Lin Nan saw Feng Xiaogang's Weibo, he had no intention of ridiculing him;

He just felt a little emotional, Feng Xiaogang deserved to come from the bottom, he could say any shameless words openly!

Also gained a lot from two top traffic stars? What can they teach Director Feng Da?

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei stayed at home all afternoon without going out because there was a light snowfall outside.

But even staying at home can't stop the calls from people in the circle. The key is to get down to business!

"Director Lin, our launch time has been set, just after the Spring Festival. Do you have time to attend the launch ceremony? After all, it is the last one."

"Determining the angle so quickly?"

Lin Nan did not rush to reply to Huo Wenxi, but asked a question. He remembered that the script of "Ip Man 4" had been reviewed, which seemed to be only a dozen days ago.

"The angle setting is not over yet, but it is almost done, and it does not affect the arrangements for starting the film. Director Lin, do you think so?"

After hearing this answer, Lin Nan understood. It seemed that Ying Huang was very interested in "Ip Man 4".

"I won't be able to go to the venue after the Spring Festival. I have an itinerary and I have to fly to Hollywood."

When Huo Wenxi heard this, he immediately knew: Flying to Hollywood after the Spring Festival? Isn’t it an Oscar?

"Okay, I'll tell Director Yang that I won't disturb Director Lin's rest."

"okay."

As expected, Lin Nan had just hung up the phone and less than ten minutes after she and Liu Yifei had cuddled up on the sofa with one earphone each, another call came.

"I think you should go to the company? Let's watch a movie. The progress bar only goes for thirty minutes, but it actually started playing more than an hour ago!"

Liu Yifei gave Lin Nan a "complaining" look, with a sweet smile on her face.

Lin Nan smiled and glanced at the caller ID, then vowed: "The last one."

A few minutes later, Lin Nan nodded in agreement with Wang Wei's determination of the specific date for Tudou's second round of financing, and then he turned his phone into airplane mode.

…

China Film.

"La Dong, Director Lin's phone number can't be reached."

La Peikang frowned slightly, then waved to his secretary and looked at Zhou Xingchi:

"Forget it, don't ask for his opinion. Although he is the largest investor, he is not the main controlling party. We can just decide."

"La Dong, how about the screening on February 8th is scheduled for the 3rd?"

Zhou Xingchi immediately told the time he had planned.

The popularity of "Detective Chinatown" in major theaters today has deeply stimulated him; he can't wait for "Mermaid".

"No. 3? Well, good, okay!"

…

It was around seven o'clock in the evening, downstairs of Wanda Cinema Line Company.

Looking at the phone in her hand that had been "unreachable", Ye Ning sighed helplessly.

He had been struggling in his heart for a long time. He originally wanted to take advantage of the New Year's Eve to chat with Lin Nan.

After all, the two have known each other for almost 11 years, and their relationship is really good; and where will I go next... I have some troubles with Lin Nan, Wang Changtian and others...

"Hey, forget it. Next time we meet... you will hear the news from me first, right? I don't know what everyone's thoughts and reactions will be, haha..."

Ye Ning murmured helplessly, with a very bitter expression.

Under the cover of night, he looked back at the brightly lit company building. Starting tomorrow, he will take annual leave.

This is the first time he has taken a long vacation in Wanda for so many years. The first time I took a long vacation was a long vacation of more than a month.

Even though the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival were very busy and the group did not want him to take a vacation, he also said firmly: He must take this long vacation!

A change of mood, a change of mindset, a change of scenery – take a vacation to prepare for this!

…

In just one night, more than a dozen satellite TV stations were holding New Year’s Eve parties.

Why can all provincial satellite TV stations now only hold New Year’s Eve parties on the night before New Year’s Day?

The reason is because Yang Ma is too overbearing!

There is a clear document on it: on the night of New Year’s Eve, Heyang’s mother is not allowed to compete for viewers and traffic!

New Year's Day, morning, around eight o'clock.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were sleeping soundly hugging each other, but the entire film industry outside was already going crazy;

Because "Detective Chinatown" really destroyed the domestic film market yesterday and "dominated" the Japanese box office market!

"Directed by Director Lin Nan, produced by Liu Yifei, starring Wang Baoqiang, Liu Haoran, Tang Yan, Xiao Yang, Chen He, Zhang Zifeng and others;

"Detective Chinatown," a commercial blockbuster in the Lunar New Year season of comedy, action, and detective genres, grossed 236 million at the box office on its first day of release..."

"It is reported that "Detective Chinatown" accounted for 89.97% of the daily box office yesterday, once again breaking the first-day box office record and single-day box office record for domestic films..."

"Due to the influence of "Detective Chinatown", the Lunar New Year action-drama movie "Old Paoer", produced by Huayi, directed by Guan Rui and starring Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng and others, saw its daily box office plummet from 46.07 million to 11.20 million yesterday. Ten thousand, like an avalanche..."

"Due to the siphon effect of "Detective Chinatown", the box office of the Lunar New Year comedy film "Bad Angels" was cut from 15.87 million to 3.2 million yesterday, which was controlled by Enlight Pictures, co-produced by Orange Image, directed by Deng Chao, and starred by Deng Chao, Sun Li, Liang Chao and others..."

"Due to the influence of "Detective Chinatown", the comedy film "One Thought in Heaven" starring Shen Teng and Ma Li performed poorly on the first day, closing at 7.45 million, no longer as brilliant as "Charlotte's Troubles"."

"According to many large domestic theaters, the screening rate and volume of "Detective Chinatown" will be increased again, and the screening time will be adjusted depending on the situation..."

...

Lin Nan was really impressed by Wang Changtian. The first call he received after turning on the camera was from Chairman Wang.

"See, Huayi was pressed to vomit blood in one go. In another two days, it will be completely crushed!"

"Isn't "Bad Angels" going to die?" Lin Nan yawned and teased.

"It doesn't matter. There wasn't much left anyway. Detective Chinatown will help Guangguang earn back tens of times! Haha..."

Yes, Lao Wang is a wise man!

"Hurry up and finish the call. It's almost 10 o'clock!"

Beside her, Liu Yifei smiled and winked at Lin Nan, lip-syncing.

At this moment, she was wearing a fluffy pink home dress, looking very youthful, playful and cute...well, without makeup and wearing a headband!

...

Lin Nan frowned as she sat opposite Liu Yifei, and the phone in her hand had not been hung up.

Miss Liu ate eggs in small bites, looking at Lin Nan, while also listening to the extension on the phone.

"The first day's box office was 236 million, higher than Lost in Hong Kong, Charlotte's Troubles, and Mojin: The Lost Legend. Should we apply for an extension this time?

If we don't apply for an extension, we'll be sorry for our box office. If we apply for an extension, this will be the fourth time... When will the extension key be applied for? Will the higher authorities approve it?"

Lin Nan was of course very clear that the application for the extension key had been rejected three times, and there had never been such a thing before!

But the "panacea"-like reason above was really speechless and helpless.

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, his eyes full of questions.

"Well, why not?" Miss Liu nodded firmly.

"Wait until the first week's box office comes out, and then submit the extension key application." Lin Nan immediately said to Wang Changtian on the other end of the phone.

"How long? What if it's still rejected?"

"One month! If it's still rejected, then this time, Mr. Wang, please go to the bureau with me."

"Okay!"

Wang Changtian's voice was also very resolute. China Film is unreliable!

...

Huayi

Wang Zhongjun looked at the box office data on the Internet with a gloomy face, his heart was bleeding, 35 million was lost in just one day!

Wang Zhonglei was on the phone, listening to the report from Huayi Cinema Line - "Detective Chinatown" was not scheduled enough, and the attendance rate of "Old Cannon" was less than 8%.

Feng Xiaogang pinched his eyebrows and was also not in a good state, and the same was true for Guan Bluff.

Originally, everyone had high expectations for "Old Cannon", but unexpectedly, as soon as it was released, it was first suppressed by "Bad Guys" with its film attribute advantage;

It was hard to survive "Bad Guys", but before its own box office soared, it was directly stepped into the valley by "Detective Chinatown"...

Before, several people said that they would have a head-on collision, but now with this data, what can they use to fight hard? Use eggs to hit stones?

"All our means, including tricks, are completely useless on Lin Nan's side! Once used, we will only be "caught." ”

Wang Zhonglei reminded after hanging up the phone.

Feng Xiaogang and Guan Hu looked at Wang Zhonglei without saying anything.

At this moment, they were just the leading actors and directors of "Old Cannon"; as for how to compete with Lin Nan, that was Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei's business.

"Director Guan Hu, you continue to take Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng to promote the movie. Today is only the 9th day of the movie's release..."

"Yes, I will, Mr. Wang."

"Brother?"

"Do your best and leave it to fate!

Director Feng, don't wait any longer for your "I Am Not Madame Bovary". Start filming in the next two days."

Wang Zhongjun said helplessly and powerlessly. He really ran into Lin Nan's hands and had no way out! That guy is a major shareholder of Weibo!

"Well, these two days will do."

"By the way, brother, Ye Ning has started his annual leave." Wang Zhonglei reminded.

"Well, the group will make some personnel adjustments this month to keep a position for him; and those shares will be divested in advance..."

"Okay."

Wang Zhonglei nodded. He, the general manager, had to make room for Ye Ning.
