Chapter 1095
"After a cumulative 59 days of screening, Lin Dao Nan's film 'The Wandering Earth' successfully concluded last night and officially went off the screen.
It is reported that the film's total box office reached 7.014 billion; on the last day of its release, the daily box office still had 2.21 million, with an endless stream of fans and viewers..."
"As of now, given that 'The Wandering Earth' has successfully ended its screening, a comprehensive consideration of Lin Dao Nan's career resume is breathtaking and amazing:
Since the first half of 2003, Lin Dao Nan has been in the director's chair for 16 years, directing a total of 20 films, achieving a total box office of 26.235 billion in the Chinese film world, the highest for a film director in Chinese film history!
He is also the first member of the 1 billion, 2 billion, 6 billion, and 7 billion single-film box office director club in the Chinese film world, and is currently the only film director to achieve 6 billion and 7 billion box office achievements;
And in the 3 billion, 4 billion, and 5 billion box office director clubs, Lin Dao Nan is also the second film director in Chinese film history to achieve corresponding achievements..."
"At 8:00 sharp this morning, the official Weibo of 'The Wandering Earth' jointly released an internet extension online launch statement with Tudou. com:
For the consideration of the film's overseas distribution and screening, the film 'The Wandering Earth' will land on Tudou. com as early as September 1st this year, at which time online resource channels will be opened..."
"Lou Ye's film 'The Shadow Play' had a first-day box office of 16.61 million, the word-of-mouth reviews were extremely ordinary, and the daily box office was seriously inverted;
According to direct comments from many cinema managers, the film's box office potential is weak, and the total box office will likely only be composed of the daily revenue of the first four days of the weekend, and its life cycle is feared to be less than 10 days..."
On the internet, the film information about "The Wandering Earth" and Lin Nan was truly dazzling.
But the news of a certain actor being named and scolded by major heavyweight units could still compete with it in terms of heat and discussion volume.
After all, for the vast majority of netizens and ordinary people, negative gossip is always more attractive than positive news;
Especially this kind of news about a puppet army exposing themselves for whitewashing the devils, it can ignite the patriotism of countless people, and then turn into angry boycotts and scolding.
You have to know that now is the great rejuvenation moment when mainstream films are as bright as day, and all monsters and demons are undoubtedly the filth under the big sun, which must die when exposed to light.
Look, units like Purple Baby and Green Dumpling responded to the reports and calls of countless netizens in a very short time and directly killed them.
Major social platforms also immediately followed suit, officially announcing the permanent closure and cancellation of their personal accounts;
In the film and television industry, the official Weibo accounts of various upcoming dramas and film and television production companies that have cooperated with them also issued a unified statement, saying they would change faces and replace people to re-film, and then claim compensation to the end...
"This one surnamed Zhao is much more powerful than the previous two, Wu and Zhai. The producers of the TV series affected by him are all big companies, like Huayi, Yaoke Pictures..."
"Especially this Yaoke Pictures, their big-investment drama 'People's Property,' which is claimed to be the sequel to 'In the Name of the People,' now has to be re-filmed directly.
This company is also really miserable. In half a year, they have been pitted by three people, Wu, Zhai, and Zhao, into several big unbroadcast dramas..."
"You have to know that they completed four rounds of financing last year and have been actively preparing for an IPO in Hong Kong since the beginning of January this year, and it's the kind of IPO that signed a gambling agreement with individual investors...
Must achieve IPO before December 31st this year and land on the Hong Kong stock market, otherwise they have to buy back shares at a premium..."
Lin Nan listened speechlessly to Wang Changtian's schadenfreude on the phone and couldn't help but interrupt him:
"You called just to say these things that have nothing to do with me? If there's no serious business, then I'm hanging up!"
"Don't, we're getting to the point soon. Do you know who the big investors are in the four rounds of financing for this Yaoke Pictures?
There are Jack Ma's private fund company, Tencent Entertainment, Yu Minhong, and public institutions like Shanghai Newspaper Group... And the one that required the gambling agreement is Yu Minhong's investment company...
This one surnamed Zhao is definitely going to 'die without a burial place,' because he caused this quasi-listed company to completely die on the road to listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, hahaha..."
Hearing this, Lin Nan finally became interested. Seeing peer capital suffer bad luck can indeed make one's body and mind instantly more pleasant, although it's a bit of a bad taste.
"You should already know about what happened on the 1st, right?" Old Wang laughed loudly, and suddenly changed the subject, becoming serious.
"Hmm, President Liu mentioned it to me the next day. So you called this morning, is it because the three of you have reached a result?" Lin Nan had some guesses in his heart and asked.
"That's right, there's a result. I originally wanted to eat alone, but the two of them strongly opposed it. No way, after pulling for three days, in the end, the three families had to split it equally..." Wang Changtian didn't care about his face at all, laughing and regretting.
"That means you are all at 20% share now, congratulations." Lin Nan wasn't too surprised. He knew how sought-after his company's mainstream films were.
"You have to put in some effort on your side, don't let the three of us lose money on this deal of taking over Wanda's share."
"Don't worry, it's aimed at the goal of 3 billion+ box office, which can be considered a send-off for Chairman Wang and Chairman Ren's successive retirements." Lin Nan smiled.
"It's good to have your words. Then let's talk about the last thing I want to say when I called you today, which is also the most important thing." Wang Changtian's tone was deeper, and the sense of sentimentality was
sufficient.
"Say it, I'm listening."
"You know, Lin Nan Pictures, Enlight, and Wanda, the three of us have been cooperating for the longest time, and have even been called allies by the circle;
And this saying has been around for more than 10 years, but now I think it is really necessary to solemnly remind you that Wanda really may fall behind.
From the moment Liu Xiaobin opened his mouth that day and said he wanted to internally transfer the 15% share of 'The Captain,' I had this realization.
I guess Chairman Ren and the others had this thought at the time, but they are all about to retire, so they obviously won't care about Wanda's affairs, let alone mention this to you..."
Lin Nan could hear the meaning in Wang Changtian's words: along the way, there will always be people who want to part ways or fall behind; and the 10-year alliance relationship between the three partners, Lin Nan Pictures, Enlight, and Wanda, will likely also change.
"I already have this psychological preparation, the worst result is that only the two of us will be left by then.
Or my company can go it alone, this result is undoubtedly the best." Lin Nan teased jokingly.
"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, are you cursing me and Enlight?" Hearing this, Wang Changtian became anxious on the spot.
At noon, the detailed information about "The Wandering Earth" successfully ending its screening and the total box office closing at 7.014 billion was fortunate enough to be mentioned on the news for more than half a minute.
The tone was very clear, affirming the preliminary achievements made by domestic heavy-industry films, and encouraging the vigorous development of the industrialization of domestic films...
Because only such a film industry can drive industry development to the greatest extent, and then promote the speed-up of related technology industries and industrial fields.
Although that's how it's said, and it's completely correct and reasonable, how many people and how many companies in the industry will listen, that's not up to the above.
After all, reality has always been naked, that is, projects like "Leap" and "The Eight Hundred" that invested 500 million and 700 million will always be much, much more than hard-core sci-fi projects like "The Wandering Earth" that cost 500 million.
In the afternoon, a very interesting scene also appeared, that is, Lin Nan and "The Wandering Earth" were rubbed for heat, and were forcibly rubbed by Song Ge and "Creation of the Gods Trilogy."
They actually shouted on the official Weibo, asking the public to look forward to another top-tier heavy-industry Oriental myth special effects blockbuster after "The Wandering Earth" — "Creation of the Gods I"!
Don't say that, the netizens on the internet were really cheering with all their might, holding infinite expectations and enthusiasm, looking forward to this Oriental myth masterpiece that is said to have an investment cost as high as 1 billion.
"Their set-filmed movie hasn't even finished filming yet, and they're already here to rub traffic? It's really annoying!" Inside Tiangong Color, Lin Nan cursed with a bad temper.
Mainly because the 3 billion total
investment over there is too deep, whether it is actively stained or passively stained, Lin Nan feels "dirty," as if he has been associated with evil.
Furthermore, he doesn't think he is on the same path as the other party. The current Wu Ershan is the real Wu Ershan, and when he had no fame before, he was truly disguised too deeply.
"Lin Dao, the joint invitation from China Film and Disney has been sent to the company. The Asian premiere of 'Avengers 4' is scheduled for the 20th..."
"Activity socializing!" Lin Nan pouted and said speechlessly. He looked at the assistant, "Wait for Director Yue to come to work tomorrow, send it to his office."
"Okay."
The assistant responded and was about to turn and leave. But as soon as she lifted her foot, she was called by Lu Yang again, who emphasized with a smile:
"Remember, except for the celebration banquet of 'The Wandering Earth' this month, all other industry activities will be sent to Director Yue."
Hearing this, the assistant was amused and nodded and smiled busily: "Understood, if there is any socializing, just let Director Yue go.
Lin Dao is too popular, it is not suitable to appear in public occasions this month, especially activities held by other companies outside... he will be annoyed to death by people in the circle and the media."
"No problem, smart enough!"
After the assistant left, Lin Nan complained to Lu Yang, "If Director Yue hears what you just said, he will retort to you again, treating him like a beast of burden?"
"Lin Dao, you are a bit of a thief calling for a thief, right?"
Well, Lin Nan was speechless on the spot and could only smile awkwardly, because the facts were irrefutable.
"Hey by the way, what did Director Yue do today? I didn't see him when I came to the company in the morning." Lu Yang cleverly changed the subject.
"He went to other companies to inspect cooperation. We are planning to find professional companies outside to do market research, accurately count the quantity and distribution of first-tier and second-tier cities and densely populated cities outside the second-tier...
After all, we are going to build a cinema chain. Which cities should the cinemas be opened in, which areas of the cities, and the quantity and density arrangement of cinemas in the same city, these must be scientifically considered and decided, it's very important!"
5th, 6th, 7th...
For several days in a row, "The Wandering Earth" and Lin Nan never fell off the Weibo hot search list.
On the film and television entertainment sections of other social platforms and portal websites, it was the same.
It can only be said that the box office figure of 7.014 billion is truly too dazzling and too landmark!
And at the same time, the news that "The Wandering Earth" will hold a large-scale celebration banquet for the entire film circle in the Golden Hall of the Great Hall of the People at noon on the 9th was also officially announced. And the invitation was also sent to the entire Chinese film and television entertainment industry.
At this
moment, keen industry insiders have already noticed a situation:
Looking at the 16 years since Lin Dao took the director's chair, this film celebration banquet and luncheon seems to be the one with the most invited people, the biggest scene, the most grand specifications, and the most high-profile one, unprecedented!
It really reached 7 billion at the box office, even Lin Dao has rarely become high-profile!?
On the morning of the 8th, Lin Nan didn't go to the company again.
Because it took too much time to accompany Liu Yifei for a prenatal checkup last night, so he didn't get up in the morning, so he simply chose to be absent from work.
Of course, Liu Qianqian now seems to be more sleepy, completely unable to wake up before 9 am, no need to worry about her getting up, because she can't be woken up at all.
Until her mother came in and forcibly woke her up, Liu Qianqian barely crawled out of the quilt.
As for getting angry? Impossible. She has to eat on time now, ensure nutrition... sleeping in is not okay, her mother is watching!
"Lin Nan, I'm still within 3 months now, my lower abdomen has no changes at all. I can wear normal clothes tomorrow, no need to wear loose clothes to cover up."
In front of the dining table, Liu Yifei drank milk and affirmed to Lin Nan.
Tomorrow's celebration ceremony for "The Wandering Earth" is the first public event she and Lin Nan have attended in nearly two months since the end of "Mulan"; she is still a little excited, after all, she is the producer of "The Wandering Earth."
"Wear whatever you want, everything according to your ideas."
Lin Nan had a smile on his face, nodding gently and softly. Now Liu Qianqian is the sky of the family, whatever makes her happy, everything is based on her ideas.
"Hehe, then I'll match it myself." Liu Yifei was extremely satisfied and started looking down at her phone again.
"That 'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' seems to have been scheduled, it was scheduled ten minutes ago. It will be released on the 31st of next month, and it will be synchronized between China and the US."
Hearing Liu Yifei's exclamation, Lin Nan reacted for several seconds before remembering that it should be the movie where Zhang Ziyi played the third female lead, and also her first movie after her comeback.
"May 31st? Hmm, the time is quite good, not crowded into the summer slot to join the fun." Lin Nan teased. Immediately after, he looked at Liu Yifei:
"Qianqian, why don't we announce the overseas release time of 'The Wandering Earth' tomorrow?"
"Okay. But you have to remember to greet Leon, Matt, Jessica, and Director Nolan in advance, we need them to help promote..."
"That's natural."
