That year Huayu

Films shot as sets always face an inevitable problem.

That is, if the reputation of the first part is bad, it will inevitably affect the second part.

Just like Huayi's "Tai Chi 1" now, it seems to have collapsed.

"The plot is extremely thin, old wine in new bottles, like a pool of stagnant water, with no climax and no new ideas."

"The mixture of animation, games, rock, steampunk and other elements is too crude, rough and gaudy..."

"The male and female protagonists have no acting skills and no highlights. The fighting scenes are mediocre and they are all supported by supporting roles, and there are only a few scenes."

"What does the male protagonist play? Like a tool man."

"What did Yang Ying play again? I only remember her big eyes and formulaic expression, stiff!"

…

No one in the industry expected that among the three movies, the one with the worst reviews was not "Dangerous Liaisons", which had the lowest box office, but "Tai Chi 1".

That’s right. Although the box office of “Dangerous Liaisons” was so low that it made the film studio vomit blood, after all, the subject matter is limited, and the lower limit is there.

Unlike "Tai Chi 1", the early publicity was overwhelming and a herd of cows were flying in the sky. Now the reputation has backfired, and the negative reviews will only become more and more serious.

Just one day later, "Looper" was also released.

This is undoubtedly worse news for "Dangerous Liaisons" and "Tai Chi 1".

The box office of the two movies on the second day dropped to 4.4 million and 8.2 million respectively.

On the other hand, "Passengers" has maintained a stable daily box office. The next day, it closed at 50.8 million, an increase of 1.2 million.

Media reports and online audience evaluations are relatively objective.

"The reputation and box office of "Passengers" are stable. Although it is not as good as "The Gunslinger", it is very likely to compete with "Rogue" for the second position in the box office list."

"As Liu Yifei said: No National Day movie can beat "Passengers"!"

…

"The artificial intelligence projection character played by Reba is very cool. The role played by a newcomer is just right. There are enough roles, and the acting requirements are not high,"

"That girl who rejected Shanhai Media and signed a contract with Tang Dynasty will probably regret it to death now, right?"

…

China Film, Enlight, and Wanda were much more excited than Lin Nan.

Although it seems that the box office of "Passengers" will definitely not catch up with "The Gunslinger", it can still be expected to catch up and surpass "Rogue".

Coupled with copyright and other income, several companies are making money properly.

Just as Lin Nan hung up the phone from Ren Zhonglun, Han Sanping came over.

"The box office split in Southeast Asia has come back, with a total of 340 million yuan. You can ask someone to check it out."

"Well, Director Han, I'll have someone do it later."

The overseas box office revenue and settlement time of a movie are often delayed for a long time. One month is common, and two or three months is not uncommon.

This is why Lin Nan likes to directly sell copyrights in Europe and the United States instead of showing them publicly.

Firstly, when a movie is released to the public, there are many things and troubles, and there are still profit risks; secondly, selling the copyright directly is more efficient in getting money back, and you can be safe.

The distribution of "The Genius" in Southeast Asia was handled by China Film, and the distribution was also done by China Film, and finally it was in the hands of Lin Nan Pictures and Hongxingwu.

"You've made a lot of money from this movie alone."

Han Sanping couldn't help but sighed, it would be a lie not to be jealous.

If this was a China Film project, he would be able to bang the table and talk at the conference at the end of the year.

"Haha, good luck, this subject is also suitable."

"Lao Ren didn't find you?"

Lin Nan paused, smiled and shook his head. He was indeed an old rival and enemy.

"I just finished the call and your call came..."

"Hahaha, this is him."

The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't say too much. This was the reality. If one partner drops out, others will step in immediately.

It will be difficult to get everyone to give up their shares and return it to you later. This is not something that Lin Nan can decide alone.

…………

Fan Bingbing's "Second Exposure" was released two days after the release of three other domestic films.

The National Day brawl mode has completely begun.

It's just that the movies that are fighting are all domestic films except "Passengers".

"White Deer Plain", which has been in theaters for ten days, has completely stalled, with a box office of 102 million and no more growth.

The industry is full of regrets, and many people criticize Wang Quan'an for screwing up a literary masterpiece...

Lin Nan just found out that at the beginning of the year, Guangguang had approved two movie projects.

On the Tang Dynasty side, Liu Shishi also got role contracts in two movies, the heroine of "Sad Fairy Tale" and the supporting actress of "Fuji Detective".

Unlike during the filming of "Sad Fairy Tale", when Tang Dynasty's press releases were flying all over the sky, this time Cai Yinong was obviously very low-key and didn't send out many press releases. He must have been warned by the light.

After all, "Sad Fairy Tale" was released more than half a month ago, but the stock price that made Guangguang soar due to "Four Famous Catchers" quickly fell back, and it was scolded miserably.

Lin Nan remembered that Wang Changtian had expressed regret before choosing Liu Shishi. Now that he thought about it, he probably regretted signing two contracts at once.

…………

"Double Exposure" grossed 8.2 million at the box office on its first day, taking a bite out of "Tai Chi 1" and "Dangerous Liaisons."

Not only that, Fan Bingbing's film also has a better reputation than those two films.

Zhang Yimou made a rare comment: This movie is the ambitious work of Li Yu and Fan Bingbing, and it is of high quality.

Now, it was lively.

In the past, when the media stirred up trouble, fans and moviegoers of Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi even had an online fight over the two movies.

This time, with Zhang Ziyi's "mentor" comment, the media couldn't sit still again, and movie fans also started to take action.

"The results are out. At the box office on the first day, Fan Bingbing doubled Zhang Ziyi."

"The International Chapter's high salary of 20 million yuan is not worthy of its reputation. It loses money and brings down the crew..."

…

Commercial value is always what A-list actresses value most.

Especially for someone like Zhang Ziyi who values ​​his status very much, the words "It's not worthy of its reputation, it's a money-losing product" is simply a critical blow.

Because this is a "fact", and it is likely to affect your future acting announcements, net worth, and status in the industry.

The international chapter counterattacked quickly, "The quality of movie fans is also a reflection of the actor's own quality. It is recommended to discipline him well and not bark..."

…

"Everyone is welcome to enter the theater and watch "Double Exposure". Sometimes it is better not to go out and tell the truth, as it can easily cause 'secondary harm' to some people."

"In addition, quality is not something we talk about when we are abroad, we don't talk about it at parties, and we don't talk about it on the beach. But when we come back, we talk about it. It seems like there is a bit of a double standard, right?"

…

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were sitting on the sofa, among the countless people in the circle watching the excitement.

I have to admit, when these big flowers are fighting each other in person, they look like they graduated from the literature department.

No names are used, no dirty words are used, but every word is called, and every word is heart-wrenching and goes straight to the point.

Facts have proved that Fan Bingbing is more powerful and the team is more professional!

…

"Passengers" once again received 51.6 million on the third day, sitting high in the clouds and completely uninvolved in the box office competition between several other domestic films and imported films.

After getting 152 million in three days, the film industry is very clear that the biggest winner in the National Day holiday is destined to be "Passengers".

The film "Partners in China" has been completed and has attracted considerable attention in the industry.

It's mainly a matter of the two actors.

Deng Chao returned to the crew of "Famous Catchers 2", and the matter with Jiang Yiyan was mentioned in a small way again.

What is even more eye-catching is that of Master Huang. As soon as he came out of this crew, he immediately got another blockbuster movie.

Bona held a media conference and announced in a high-profile manner that the martial arts blockbuster "The White-Haired Witch: Moon Heaven" has been approved.

Everyone in the mainland film industry knows that unlike Enlight, which only signed Chan Ka-shang and has a good relationship with Lin Nan Films, Bona has deeper connections with the Hong Kong community, and Yu Dong relies heavily on the Hong Kong team because he has no other choice.

This time, "The White-Haired Witch: Moon Heaven" is still purely produced by a Hong Kong Island production team.

There are rumors in the industry that according to the Hong Kong director's idea, Mainland front-line Fan Bingbing will be chosen as the female lead, while Nicholas Tse will be chosen as the male lead.

This combination is an old routine that has been used for many years.

However, this time Yu Dong was strong, maybe because he didn't want to be scolded by mainland public opinion.

He simply rejected the director's proposal, rejecting Nicholas Tse and settling on the versatile Huang Xiaoming.

At this moment, there is another commotion in the Hong Kong community. Their youngest golden actor was rejected like this?

"Even Fatty Yu is so tough. It's really not easy."

Lin Nan joked, but he was not surprised.

Nowadays, there is really no need to care about the opinions of the Hong Kong circle, they are completely vassals.

"There's a phone call."

Liu Yifei, with her face turned upward and her hair tied up, reminded Lin Nan.

The latter raised his hand and took the phone from the table.

"Seeing that the National Day holiday is about to take place, are you looking for me now?"

The caller ID was Han Sanping, and I didn’t know what was going on.

Liu Yifei sat on the edge, pouted, and after a few seconds, she motioned to Lin Nan to help her get her hairpin.

"Give."

Lin Nan answered the phone.

"Come to China Film Academy in the afternoon."

"Director Han, what are you talking about? Yifei and I have made plans to go out in the afternoon."

Lin Nan complained speechlessly, and then glanced at Liu Yifei. She bit her lips and nodded, but business was more important.

"That's really embarrassing. Say sorry to her for me and let her borrow you for the afternoon, haha..."

Han Sanping also started laughing, and then became serious again the next moment.

"It's business, it's something very important. I'm not the only one calling you."

The voice from the mobile phone echoed in the living room, and Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other.

Okay, my afternoon appointment has to be rescheduled.

"Business matters, Director Han, he will be there on time."

Liu Yifei's clear voice sounded, and Han Sanping was stunned for a moment.

"Okay, Yifei, you have the style of a good wife!"

Hearing the compliment, Miss Liu started to giggle again, and her naive side emerged.

"Okay, I'll be here on time in the afternoon."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, who had tied her hair and was about to change clothes, and asked doubtfully:

"Haven't all the appointments in the afternoon been cancelled? Do you still want to change clothes?"

"If you can't go, I can change Changchang to come with me.

Otherwise, it would be unfair to get up so early to freshen up and dress up, which would delay my sleep. "

Liu Yifei stood at the top of the stairs, smiling slyly.

Well, Lin Nan couldn't refute what Miss Liu said. He smiled and shook his head:

"Good idea. If I finish early, I'll go find you."

"Well, by the way, help us carry our bags and pay the bill, hehehehe."
