Chapter 140: The Eating Manner of

The "Painted Skin 2" crew.

Wu Yusen sat behind the monitor.

In the lens, Zeng Li, wearing a red wedding dress and a golden mask, lay on her side on the ground.

She held Zhou Xun, who had white hair, and whispered...

On the side was Huo Xin, wearing soft armor, with a cloth tied around his eyes, already blind.

A Tiangong Color employee nodded to Wu Yusen, and the latter instantly understood the meaning.

"Cut."

Wu Yusen shouted forcefully.

Suddenly, everyone's nerves, which had been tense, relaxed.

"Director, is that it?" Zeng Li asked.

Wu Yusen nodded, a smile on his face, "Passed."

"I announce, the film 'Painted Skin 2', today, officially wrapped up!"

Wu Yusen was completely following the rhythm Lin Nan used when filming "Painted Skin 1," requiring himself.

He wanted to learn Lin Nan's rhythm; this might be an improvement for himself.

The media reporters visiting the crew were already writing manuscripts.

"Ancient costume magic blockbuster, 'Painted Skin 2' wrapped up today."

"Tiangong Color employees have carried the film negatives back to the capital and are about to start post-production special effects."

Even with psychological preparation, Lin Nan was still a bit shocked when he received Jiang Xuerou's call.

Wu Yusen said two months to finish, and he really wrapped up by the time.

"Hold the wrap-up banquet over there; no need to come back to hold it."

Lin Nan exhorted, saving trouble after coming back.

"Okay, Director Lin."

In current film information, "Lucy" was still on the front page, but not the only headline.

The news about "Aftershock" had come from behind.

Huayi emphasized again that this film was not a disaster film; they didn't make money from "pain."

Many people in the industry sneered at this; if you have the ability, don't "book the whole cinema"!

Time passed day by day, and the release of "Aftershock" was getting closer and closer.

For Liu Qianqian, these twenty days were more tiring than the past few years.

"Every day when I open my eyes, the first thing is to look at yesterday's data. Before going to bed every day, lying on the bed, I'm also thinking about the box office.

After it leaves the cinema, I want to sleep well for three days; no one should call me, not even you!"

Liu Qianqian held the rice bowl, said unhappily, and then took a bite of rice.

Lin Nan looked at Liu Qianqian; she should have lost several pounds recently...

Time came to the 22nd, "Lucy" had been released for exactly three weeks.

The box office in the third week had dropped a lot, but the total box office had also reached a very critical number.

The media were restless.

"'Lucy' box office has reached 381 million, 400 million is just around the corner."

"'Aftershock' released today, can 'Lucy' cross the 400 million mark?"

Regardless, by virtue of this film, Liu Qianqian had reached a height that actresses of the same age couldn't reach.

"Is it almost 400 million?" Many actresses were a bit slow to realize.

"This is not a bad thing."

Ceng Jia said to Yang Mi in the "Palace" crew.

The latter didn't quite understand, "Why do you say that?"

In Yang Mi's view, among the same batch of actresses, Liu Qianqian was walking further and further away.

Watching, even the back was about to be invisible.

"The further she goes, the better it is for you people. At least in terms of resources, you don't have to worry about being taken by her; I guess she doesn't look at them..."

When Ceng Jia said this, it already felt like self-deception.

Yang Mi shook her head with a bitter smile, "What kind of good thing is this?"

Quite a few actors on the side were discussing the box office of "Lucy," and Liu Qianqian.

"It's very powerful; she's still so young!" An actress sighed.

"Yaya, looking at things can't just look at the surface.

Liu Qianqian is indeed very popular; if my TV series could invite her, I could laugh awake in my dreams.

But in terms of film, Director Lin Nan is the key..."

After Yu Zheng finished speaking to Tong Liya, he looked at Yang Mi's direction again.

"Facts have proven that signing a good company is very important..."

Tong Liya also looked at Yang Mi; she knew this was from Shanhe Media.

Already participated in two films of Lin Nan Film, and in ten days, "Brotherhood of Blades" would also be released.

The first day of "Aftershock's" release, there were quite a few media paying attention.

When the first session in the morning ended, there were reports online.

Most cinemas had an attendance rate of around 75%, and a small part even reached 90%, or even higher!

This data sounded a bit scary at first hearing.

There were quite a few peers who were sour inside, all knowing what the situation was.

Although the cinema chains didn't lower the screening of "Lucy," rushing to the lineup of "Aftershock," the audience definitely wanted to go in and take a look.

Lin Nan looked at the evaluations; although Huayi emphasized again that this was not a disaster film, most people still watched it as a disaster film.

In terms of moving to tears, it was indeed moving to tears.

The second day, the first-day box office of "Aftershock" was out.

"First day took 36.2 million, 'Aftershock' is far ahead."

"'Lucy' box office halved, reported 6.2 million yesterday, 400 million is still not a problem..."

Liu Qianqian and Shu Chang, two silly girls, went to watch "Aftershock," and then came back with red eyes.

Girls are mostly emotional; this kind of disaster film is easily infected.

The second day, "Aftershock" reported 44.5 million; this time the whole industry was restless.

This had already broken the single-day box office record for domestic films!

Lin Nan heard from Ye Ning that there had been a situation of booking the whole cinema, that is, the attendance rate was 100%, without a single empty seat...

However, the box office of "Lucy" didn't drop too much, and there were still 5.1 million.

Looking at it this way, in two days, Liu Qianqian would be the female lead of a 400-million box office film.

The third day, "Aftershock" was still 46 million, with a feeling of unreality.

The industry had already concluded that this film would definitely brush off "The Martian" and become the new domestic film record holder.

Huayi also took advantage of this momentum to express its position, definitely pushing the box office record a big step forward.

This circle is sometimes really interesting.

Lin Nan had no thoughts, but there were quite a few who called to comfort him.

"His box office has too much water; more than half is money spent by various units, just like that tribute film of Han Dong..." Ning Hao complained.

"Wait until my 'Let the Bullets Fly' is released, I'll kill him. Brother, I feel good even after watching this film myself."

Jiang Wen really wasn't humble at all.

Lin Nan's reply to everyone was that he didn't care.

But after listening to them one by one, the comforting words were said even more, which was very strange.

The result of 180 million in 4 days left the entire film industry speechless.

Regardless of where the box office came from, others made money, and it would be a bloody profit.

"Latest news, 'Lucy' box office has reached 403 million."

"Liu Qianqian has become the first female lead of a 400-million box office film in the country..."

Lin Nan knew that at this step, "Lucy" was fixed, just waiting for the end of the cinema release to see the final data.

Lu Yang thought carefully and decided to let "Brotherhood of Blades" be released directly, without a premiere.

After all, the focus of the film market was all on "Aftershock."

And Liu Qianqian, the producer, had already helped promote it on Weibo and shows.

Borrowing the light of "Lucy" and Liu Qianqian, "Brotherhood of Blades" got quite a bit of exposure.

Starry Sky would hold a premiere for "My Beautiful Boss" on the 29th of the month, and the news had long since spread.

Many filmmakers felt Lu Zheng was very iron-headed, really wanting to: meet the "shock" and go up!

Lin Nan knew that at least in terms of scheduling, Wanda would leave a share for this film, which was likely the vacancy after "Lucy" left the cinema.

He suddenly thought of something.

At the end of this year, when Huayi conducted its annual dividend, it seemed there was a share for him, 8 million shares.

"Holy crap, then this is interesting!"

"Aftershock" was still being released, and he heard that the authorities were already preparing to hold a seminar.

The content of the discussion was, how could this "Aftershock" achieve such brilliant results? Can it be replicated in the future?

Lin Nan felt that these people were either idle or their brains were not good; such brain-dead questions still needed to be discussed.

Fortunately, he withdrew.

"Aftershock" continued to refresh the industry's cognition.

In 7 days, the box office broke 300 million.

At this time, there were already quite a few filmmakers complaining online that this "booking the whole cinema" method only had harm and no benefit to the film industry.

Lin Nan went to China Film Group to inquire, and the screening rate had already exceeded 45%, which was really unhealthy.

"These two days, there are many filmmakers and companies complaining to the authorities. At the latest on the 1st of next month, the screening rate will drop.

As for dropping to a normal level, it is estimated to be after the end of the first week of next month."

When Han Sanping said this, there was also a helpless smile on his face.

After all, this film was a rare case where local governments occupied the main investment funds, and some situations had to be taken care of.

Lin Nan nodded; it shouldn't have too much impact on "Brotherhood of Blades."

At this time, Han Sanping added another sentence.

"However, 'Aftershock' has been confirmed to be extended to the end of August, with a release time of 40 days."

"Heh, Han Dong, China Film Group might as well let it be extended to September 20th, just in time for a two-month release."

Lin Nan said unhappily.

This was really the ugliest eating manner of a film in recent years; even "The Founding of a Republic" didn't do this!

"It's only 10 days..."

Han Sanping smiled bitterly; this news hadn't been announced yet. Once announced, it was estimated to be another chorus of scolding. ===== CHAPTER 141 =====
