Chapter 821

The fireworks in the sky made the night sky colorful.

On the TV screen, it is still the unchanging Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve, and what is playing now is the chorus of Hu Ge and Wang Kai—'At This Moment'.

However, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are not interested at all, they are holding a box of cold fireworks called "Fairy Sticks", playing happily.

Hmm, mainly Miss Liu Yifei likes it, she holds the fireworks and chases Lin Nan, laughing very brightly.

And Watching Watching Lao Lin in front of the LCD TV had long been completely disappointed with the Spring Festival Gala, listening to a sound every year at this time, having that atmosphere is enough.

He now very much understands the joke Lin Nan told him a long time ago: the Spring Festival Gala has long not been for ordinary audiences, but for leaders.

"You two play for a while longer, and hurry up to rest. I'm tired, I'll go back to the room first." Watching Watching Lao Lin stood up with a smile, greeting Lin Nan and Liu Yifei in the yard.

"Okay, sleep early."

"Let Lin Nan make breakfast tomorrow morning." Liu Yifei took the conversation of the great Lin Dao and said to Watching Watching Lao Lin with a smile.

"Hmm, listen to Xixi, let him do it. Haha..."

From New Year's Eve to Spring Festival, although it is only the difference between the first half of the night and the second half of the night, it is a real crossing of the Lunar New Year.

All night, the sound of firecrackers outside seemed to have never stopped, and from three o'clock in the morning, it became dense again.

When the morning sun in the east just revealed its head, a new day, the enthusiasm of the Spring Festival, officially opened the curtain:

The box office figure of 3.405 billion accompanied by the news of 'Operation Meigonghe' ending the screening, topped the Weibo hot search list, quite a posture of looking down from a high position and standing tall.

And below it, it is undoubtedly the movie information of 'Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back', 'Kung Fu Yoga', 'Buddies in India', 'Duckweed' and other blockbusters in the Spring Festival file grandly released.

Although today is the home field of "new movies", "old movies" are not ordinary after all, because it is the pioneer of the new Chinese film box office record; and the movies released today are all its little brothers.

Therefore, New Year's greeting calls came in a swarm from early morning, making Lin Nan and Liu Yifei unable to cope, this does not include messages, messages on social software, and comments on Weibo.

New box office record + Lunar New Year, these two things together, can be considered to have found an opportunity for countless people other than acquaintances in the circle to come and brush their faces to greet.

So, after breakfast, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's mobile phones still didn't rest, because the phone kept ringing. And it was really not good to refuse to answer during the New Year, the two had no choice but to accept everyone.

This time, even Li Bingbing rarely laughed and talked with Miss Liu for a long time, after all, she possessed a movie with a 3.4 billion box office resume, stepping on the other big flowers hard!

"'Eternal Love', will be broadcast the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, I almost forgot about this. Changchang should be very busy now, right?" Lin Nan patted his forehead and looked at Liu Yifei.

"Hmm, just set off from home to catch the last promotional notice." Miss Liu looked quite sympathetic, working on the day of the Spring Festival, it's really miserable!

"Believe me, ratings and popularity will reward her. Oh right, we two will set off the day after tomorrow morning."

"Where to?" Liu Yifei blinked her eyes, puzzled.

"Go visit relatives, see my mother-in-law."

"Really?" In an instant, Liu Yifei's eyes were shining.

"It can be fake."

"No, I have already taken it seriously, hehe."

For the film and television industry, the Spring Festival period is the real battlefield for bayonet fighting, and it is also the time when work cannot be slackened at all.

Just like Wang Changtian at this time, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, sitting in the group office.

"Chairman Wang, Wang Dong, our screening rate is 25.8%, 'Duckweed' is 12.5%, 'Kung Fu Yoga' is 17.2%, 'Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back' is the highest, at 33.5%!"

"As expected. After all, their producers include Wanda, Dadi Theater, China Film and other theater companies, naturally they will prioritize taking care of 'Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back'.

However, 'The Mermaid' has already consumed 80% of Stephen Chow's connections and appeal for so many years, this time they can't market Stephen Chow anymore, movie quality is the key to deciding the final box office."

Wang Changtian said with certainty, although there was no full certainty in his heart, it was about the same.

"Did Lin Dao say when he will be back?" Wang Baoqiang couldn't help asking.

"He didn't say, but he shouldn't stay in his hometown for too long. After all, 'Dying to Survive' is going to start filming in two weeks, he at least has to come back early to prepare." On this point, Wang Changtian was very certain.

Wang Baoqiang was just about to take the conversation when he was interrupted by the abrupt knocking sound. They saw a female employee of the administration department standing at the door, reporting: "Chairman Wang, Producer Chen is here."

Hearing this, Wang Changtian immediately revealed a speechless smile, "Just say I'm busy, let her wait a while."

"Okay, Chairman Wang."

Seeing the people in the administration department leave, Wang Changtian then smiled:

"The time for 'Secret Fruit' to finish filming was also not chosen well, it was pressed by Lin Nan's recapture of the Chinese film box office record and Cheng Long's Academy Award news, and it had no popularity at all. Chen Hong coming over this time is estimated to be on the way, looking at the late stage of the movie, while asking about the schedule arrangement?"

"I heard that a few days ago, Director Chen and Sister Chen Hong also took Feiyu to appear on a variety show?" Wang Baoqiang asked with a smile.

"Hmm, there is such a thing. It's 'Familiar Taste Season 2', and it's the Enlight Media team that followed the late stage."

Guo Fan, Lu Yang, Zhang Yi, and Luo Jin, who had just returned on the 25th, had already set the departure time, the morning of February 2nd.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei couldn't meet them at all, next time they meet, it will have to wait until the middle of the year. From early October last year to the middle of this year, good heavens, a full eight or nine months!

From the afternoon, film reviews of the four Spring Festival blockbusters appeared on the internet one after another. Let's just say, no movie achieved more than 70% good reviews.

'Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back' took the brunt, too superficial; Tsui Hark is completely imitating Stephen Chow, but 'The Demons Strike Back' is obviously only the shape of Stephen Chow compared to 'Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons', not the god.

As a result, 'Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back' looks particularly noisy and ridiculous, like a clumsy copycat, especially the actors, who were beaten by 'Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons' in all directions!

As the protagonist, can Wu Yifan compare with Wen Zhang, or even Law Kar-ying?

The rogue, oily-faced, frivolous and pretentious Tang Monk really stimulated many normal audiences, but fans bought it, and only fans were screaming!

At this moment, netizens urgently needed Six-Year-Old Teacher to stand up for his master, but it seemed they didn't see Six-Year-Old Teacher's figure.

And for the movie 'Duckweed', the public didn't have much box office expectation to begin with, so Han Han, who could tell the story well and didn't play tricks, gained a lot of recognition, but the plot was still too weak.

Only Cheng Long's 'Kung Fu Yoga' continues to uphold Cheng Long's characteristics, which is indeed a very good comedy action movie; of course, the fly in the ointment is that there is a Zhang Yixing dragging his feet!

From the moment he agreed to invest in 'Buddies in India', no, it should be from the moment he decided to invest in Wang Baoqiang, Lin Nan was psychologically prepared.

This is not it, the scolding sound for 'Buddies in India' on the internet is the loudest, just like Deng Chao's directorial debut 'The Breakup Guru';

Many people originally thought that Six-Year-Old Teacher would be one of the protagonists, but after entering the theater, they knew that Six-Year-Old Teacher only had a few cameo shots... Wang Baoqiang was scolded for false propaganda.

And the hard injury of the plot and the design of forced comedy, also really couldn't be explained; with Wang Baoqiang's poor experience, he had no ability to decorate it, so he could only humbly accept these scoldings.

Many fans even ran to Lin Nan's Weibo to ask him, why did Shanhai Media invest in this movie by Wang Baoqiang?

Originally didn't want to respond, but after thinking about it, Lin Nan still made an answer: "Supporting new directors is something that many senior great directors in the industry are willing to do, and it is also something that the entire industry encourages and hopes to see.

For Wang Baoqiang's desire to transform into a director, I naturally support it, so I participated in the investment of 'Buddies in India' at the beginning. But I didn't invest in any movie, but in him as a person.

No one's first work as a director can be perfect... But I believe Wang Dong Baoqiang will definitely continue to draw experience and lessons, getting better and better each time... His character and attitude are trustworthy..."

In the eyes of the film circle, Lin Nan's standing on the platform will undoubtedly destroy the competitive environment of the Spring Festival file.

Because he is too appealing, his statement plus Wang Baoqiang's audience edge and the latter's encounter some time ago will definitely pull a large number of audiences to 'Buddies in India', can't stop it...

The facts are indeed so.

354 million, 190 million, 140 million, 63.3 million.

'Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back', 'Buddies in India', 'Kung Fu Yoga', 'Duckweed'... the first-day box office of the four movies exploded the whole internet on the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year.

The first-day box office record of Chinese films that 'Operation Meigonghe' helped Lin Nan take back from Stephen Chow only stayed for two months, and was taken back by the movie produced by Stephen Chow again.

The entire film industry was shocked and excited, the market really ushered in a stage of explosive development! Will 'Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back' be the third 3-billion+ box office movie?

La Peikang is undoubtedly very excited, he is like someone who has had bad luck for a year and suddenly received good news, thirsty... This also made him more determined to get the extension key.

"Don't dream, the extension key has nothing to do with us."

Lin Nan laughed until he was out of breath, Wang Changtian actually missed the extension key?

"Don't be so destructive to your own prestige, right? Our attendance rate is still very good today."

"With the lineup and box office potential of 'Buddies in India', do you think it's possible? The extension key for the Spring Festival file will only be born between 'Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back' and 'Kung Fu Yoga'!"

Regarding this point, Lin Nan was still very confident; and only the lineup and stamina of these two movies have the strength to grab the extension key, just don't know who it will fall to.

"Alright, I just had a little thought and was splashed with a basin of cold water by you, it's really unlucky."

After chatting casually, Lin Nan urged Wang Changtian to hang up the phone; he was still busy, these two days before leaving, try to help Watching Watching Lao Lin do more work.

The 29th, the 30th.

'Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back' continued to lead the Spring Festival file with 222 million and 187 million, 'Kung Fu Yoga' came from behind, ranking second with 130 million and 145 million.

And 'Buddies in India' and 'Duckweed' followed closely with the third and fourth box office results, the two respectively handed in answers of 120 million, 100 million and 59 million, 65 million.

Time came to the 31st, which is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Various film and television information in the circle swiped the screen on Weibo again.

"Jointly produced by Bad Monkey Film industry, Red Star Dock, Huang Bo Studio, written by Xing Aina, co-produced by Xing Aina and Liu Yifei, comedy movie 'The Island' officially started filming in Qingdao this morning."

"It is reported that 'The Island' is Huang Bo's directorial debut, the starring lineup includes: Huang Bo, Shu Qi, Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Yixing, Yu Hewei, Wang Xun..."

"Exclusively 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, etc.;

Large fantasy ancient costume mythological drama 'Eternal Love' premiered two episodes, ratings strongly broke 3... 24 hours later, Potato Net will follow up and broadcast today..."

Shortly after nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei encountered a rather embarrassing thing.

Both of their luggage were packed, just waiting for Watching Watching Lao Lin to drive them to the airport, but at this time, people from Western Film Group came.

Two commercial vehicles blocked the door, Director Zhang greeted several subordinates to move gifts into the house one by one... higher specifications than last year!

"Lin Nan, we can't delay too much time to entertain them, right?" Liu Yifei muttered in a low voice, the flight doesn't wait for anyone!

"Director Zhang, I really don't have this preparation." Lin Nan said with a smile.

"Lin Dao, how can you say that, how could we not come? Hahaha...

But don't worry, it won't delay your time, we will leave after putting things down."

Director Zhang naturally saw the suitcases of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, he also knew the start time of 'Dying to Survive', but didn't expect Lin Nan and Liu Yifei to return to the capital on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, which was several days earlier than in previous years, so Western Film Group seemed to come late!

"Then thank you Director Zhang, and also greet Chairman Wang for a Happy New Year on behalf of me and Yifei."

Not long after, Watching Watching Lao Lin's Mercedes SUV started, Lin Nan sat in the passenger seat, Liu Yifei in the back row.

The car was driving on the highway, and Watching Watching Lao Lin also began to nag: "You two don't just care about yourselves all day, think more about the older generation, if there is anything that hasn't been implemented well, hurry up."

Lin Nan was shameless, laughing happily; while Liu Yifei was smiling with a red face and not saying a word, but her hand stretched obscurely to Lin Nan's waist...

"Hiss..."

The great Lin Dao endured it!
