Chapter 654: A Short-lived Domestic Film Box Office Record? 'Rhapsody'? 'A Good Show'!

"Produced by Red Star Dock, starring Shu Chang, Jiao Enjun, Reba, Zhang Zhiyao, Yu Bo, Zhong Hanliang, Chen Yao, Qiao Zhenyu, Meng Ziyi, Mu Tingting, Kang Keran, and others;

The large-scale fantasy costume drama 'Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms' officially commenced filming at 8:00 AM at Puzhehei, a famous natural scenic area in Yunnan..."

"Mainly controlled by Huace, with investment from Tang Yan's studio, starring Tang Yan, Luo Jin, Wu Jianhao, Mao Xiaotong, and others, the large-scale IP drama of the same name 'The Princess Weiyoung' officially announced its wrap-up yesterday evening."

On the first night back in the capital, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei had a beautiful sleep, tossing and turning as they pleased, even sleeping until after ten o'clock.

And the film and entertainment information online early in the morning was also increasingly varied and eye-catching.

The two movies 'Run for Love' and 'Murder at 17' really did pull a big one;

The first day's box office was still okay, 36 million and 9.32 million respectively, but the second day directly collapsed to 4.04 million and 1.4 million;

Many professional insiders in the industry were amused; everyone's predictions this time were completely accurate!

With this daily box office trend, needless to say, it was a three-day life; they could pack up and be pulled from theaters today!

However, speaking of movie information, the focus of the entire industry was still on those few commercial blockbusters, especially 'Detective Chinatown'.

Because the three movies like 'The Mermaid' were still destroying the film market, slaughtering dozens of small and medium-cost movies in the same slot;

But 'Detective Chinatown' had already officially been pulled from theaters last night, and its total box office had already been fixed in film history:

"Jointly produced by Lin Nan Film, Enlight, Wanda, China Film, and Shanghai Film, directed by Lin Dao Nan, produced by Liu Yifei, the New Year comedy, action, and detective commercial film 'Detective Chinatown' was officially pulled from theaters last night;

It is reported that 'Detective Chinatown' lasted for a month and a half, with a total box office of 2.988 billion; although it regretfully stopped before the 3 billion box office mark, it still created a new box office record in Chinese film history; compared to 'The Taking of Tiger Mountain', it was raised by 935 million."

Just past 10 AM, a call from Red Star Dock "woke up" Liu Yifei and Lin Nan.

Although Miss Liu, who still had a trace of sleepiness, had charming eyes, she still had a bit of annoyance, but she couldn't find anyone to vent to;

Because the phone was hers, the call was from her assistant, and the content of the call was also about her work.

"Alright, get up. Those brand owners of yours are still waiting for you, the spokesperson, to flip their cards."

Lin Nan couldn't help but rub Liu Yifei's exquisite face; who told her to sit on the bed looking dull and silly, still wanting to continue napping. Hmm, very tender, very smooth.

Liu Yifei pouted, hummed and hawed, pushed away Lin Nan's mischievous hand, and began to get dressed.

"Help me get that white bra..."

"Oh, okay."

The matter of Liu Yifei and Lin Nan attending the Oscar awards ceremony had already been notified to all cooperating brand owners by Red Star Dock two days ago.

The result was imaginable; they had only just returned yesterday, and that group of "Party A"s couldn't wait to find them;

But it had to be said, over the years, the attitude of Party A was becoming more and more like Party B;

There was undoubtedly the reason that they could take advantage of Lin Dao for free, after all, those luxury brand owners were not stupid, they were as shrewd as ghosts!

After washing up, don't even think about breakfast, and lunch probably couldn't be eaten together either.

Liu Yifei was in casual clothes, picked up her bag, put on sunglasses, and then heroically got into her Ferrari, heading straight for Red Star Dock;

And Lin Nan also had to go out, but he wasn't going to the company, but preparing to go and comfort the "injured" Ning Hao.

On the radio, that Tang Ren drama 'The Imperial Doctress' seemed to have started airing the day before yesterday;

But compared to Tang Ren's dramas in the past, the promotion of this TV drama seemed a bit "low-key";

Who knew if it was because Liu Shishi was going to "fly solo", so Cai Yinong didn't care?

After all, this was an open secret in the circle; this first sister of Tang Ren almost didn't take any dramas or announcements for the whole of last year;

As the boss of a film and television company, this was absolutely an act that Cai Yinong couldn't accept.

"The ratings are not that great either, not even 1%... Hmm? Wrapped up yesterday evening, and already flew to Berlin?"

Lin Nan heard the news about Tang Yan.

This girl was quite fast; she actually flew to the Berlin International Film Festival overnight yesterday to join the 'A Chinese Odyssey Part 3' crew; it seemed to be her first time on the stage of the three major festivals.

"Hey, isn't this Lin Dao? Running here to stimulate me?"

Forget it, as soon as the car drove into the courtyard, Director Ning, who was sunbathing at the villa entrance, said something sarcastically.

"I stimulate you? How do you say... that."

Alright, Lin Nan reacted; wasn't the total box office of 'Detective Chinatown' hanging online, and it was data that just came out this morning.

"I just came back yesterday, and I came to visit you this morning, and you're still pulling a face... tsk tsk, didn't lose much, right?" Lin Nan smiled cheaply and teased.

"Get lost..." Ning Hao was amused by anger; his heart ached.

"Didn't lose much, lost nearly 100 million. Hiss... I've felt heartache for several days just listening to it."

Just as Lin Nan moved a chair from the side and sat down next to Ning Hao, Huang Bo's voice came from the villa;

He was eating while holding a fruit plate, looking like he hadn't arrived long ago, and Xing Aina came out with a few pages of A4 paper.

"What are you doing today?" Lin Nan asked Huang Bo curiously.

"He wants to be a director, looking for me to write a script, but he only has a vague idea;

Isn't this it, I just made a big framework for him, let's fill it in slowly later, I'm afraid it will take at least half a year to have a first draft."

Xing Aina shook the things in her hand and explained.

"Director Huang?" Lin Nan immediately changed his address and joked.

"Oh my oh my, I dare not, I dare not, Lin Dao, eat some fruit, hahaha..."

"Really lost that much?"

Lin Nan picked up a slice of apple and looked at Xing Aina. The latter's smile was a bit bitter and nodded.

Ning Hao glared at Lin Nan unhappily, "Don't look for trouble for no reason... Your movie is kneeling at the 3 billion threshold..."

Halfway through, Director Ning shut his mouth; heart-stabbing.

"Lin Dao's is called regret, yours is called a bloody loss, can they be compared?" Huang Bo added a knife.

With Huang Bo, a director-to-be, actively attracting "hatred", Lin Nan immediately avoided it and took the script framework handed over by Xing Aina.

"Comedy?"

"Hmm, speaking of which, comedy can be considered one of the easiest movies to get started with, but wanting to make it high-end is not easy. Getting started is easy, graduating is hard, but it's still better than youth films!"

Xing Aina's words were not false; entry-level comedy relies on the screenwriter's deliberate lines and the actor's deliberate funny behavior;

But if you really want to be high-end, it's the kind of pairing of Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda; even if the script is rotten, the two of them can elevate the movie by a grade, making the audience never tire of watching it!

"By the way, 2.988 billion, this is a new domestic film box office record, when are you preparing to hold the celebration banquet?"

Faced with Ning Hao's inquiry, Lin Nan shook his head with a smile: "With such a regretful number, what celebration banquet to hold?

Although it is a new domestic film box office record, it is also highly likely to be a very short-lived domestic film box office record."

Lin Nan's words, the three people in front understood. The box office growth of 'The Mermaid' was even more intense; and in terms of the extension policy, it took advantage!

"If you don't hold it, don't hold it, as long as you don't mind being called stingy in the circle, hehe..."

"Eh, what do you think of my movie being called 'Rhapsody'?" Huang Bo changed the subject and asked very seriously.

"The first draft doesn't even know where it is, and you're already naming it? Are you kidding." Ning Hao despised.

"A bit vulgar, might as well call it 'A Good Show'." Xing Aina smacked her lips and complained.

Ali's big entertainment plan seemed to have taken another big step forward.

In the afternoon, they and SM Entertainment, the company that created TVXQ, Girls' Generation, Super Junior, and EXO in South Korea, simultaneously issued an announcement:

The former officially invested in SM Entertainment and would fully expand and enlarge the business scope of all South Korean artists and groups under SM in China, significantly increasing the business volume...

Most domestic entertainment companies saw it, and almost everyone was full of resentment; in their view, this was another big capital "inviting a wolf into the house"!

Just as he arrived at the company and sat in his office, Lin Nan received a notification from China Film:

Starting tomorrow, 'The Mermaid' would officially launch its second round of roadshows, really going for the "goal" shouted at the premiere.

Just after hanging up the phone from La Peikang's secretary, the school's call came again.

"How far has the art exam reached?"

"The preliminary exams for some majors have ended, and the re-exams start on the 20th; but there are tens of thousands of candidates for the acting department, so today is the last day of the preliminary exams. Really not coming to take a look?"

"Dare not, I'm afraid if I go to school, I won't be able to come out, especially during the art exam period."

"Alright, if you don't come, you don't come. I called mainly because the department asked me to remind you that other associate professors will submit their works one after another in two weeks; although you are submitting in April, it's best to prepare in advance."

"Hmm, got it."

Lin Nan shook his head with a smile and put down his phone. The directing department really attached great importance to his promotion to a senior professional title.

It wasn't until evening that Liu Yifei returned from Red Star Dock.

In the few days before leaving for Hollywood, she had to go to the company several more times to coordinate the determination of the dresses, jewelry, accessories, handbags, and most importantly, the makeup and styling for the Oscar red carpet!

"Is the time set?"

Liu Yifei, leaning on Lin Nan, asked lazily.

"How about leaving on the morning of the 21st?" Lin Nan hugged Liu Yifei's waist and asked.

"Hmm, okay. Then let's decide on the accompanying people tomorrow, and then book the flight as soon as possible."

Even at night, the small conference room at Wanda headquarters was still brightly lit.

A group of executives were holding an emergency meeting, and the big screen was a transoceanic video.

"Just follow the normal process, arrange the manpower, and take over all the businesses Ye Ning was responsible for as soon as possible... including partners, allies, and Potato over there..."

"I still don't understand why he left? As an old man of more than ten years, a senior executive of the group..."

"Don't say so much, everyone has their own aspirations, everyone has the power to choose; when they think the group can't meet their requirements, they can naturally leave. The finance department only needs to implement the compensation; after all, it involves a non-compete agreement..."

"Okay, Chairman."
