That year Huayu

"After several years, director Feng Xiaogang returns to the Lunar New Year season with a comedy. "Private Customization" sold well at the box office on the first day, with a revenue of 71.5 million."

Media reports have allowed the industry to once again see the dominance and combat effectiveness of Feng's comedy in the Lunar New Year period.

The Lunar New Year holiday is still a month away, and the producers of films that have not been released or are about to be released are all on pins and needles and under increased pressure.

Because judging from the current feedback from the film market, "Private Customization" has nakedly exposed its fangs for the Lunar New Year box office dominance.

On the other hand, whether it is actors and actresses in the industry or online viewers and fans, most of them have very good reviews.

The former may also have reasons to curry favor with Hua Yi and Feng Xiaogang.

But the latter group gave it good reviews simply because they watched a very good movie.

As for comedy, the requirements cannot be too high. As long as it is not vulgar or forced to be funny, even if the plot is heavy on the front and light on the back, everyone's acceptance will not be low.

Moreover, "Private Customization" incorporates many sharp topics in reality, and with a group of professional actors, it is really eye-catching.

Especially the lines in it spread quickly and became a hot topic of discussion on Weibo:

…

"You can do it if you are a driver, but you cannot do it if you are a leader. You can only have one belief."

"I really want to worship you. When it closes at night, I will bring you here quietly."

"I haven't taken anything from them, how do they know I don't accept gifts?"

“If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Don’t block me and let bad social trends come in.

I can refuse to accept it, but they cannot refuse to deliver it! "

"Do you call this bribery? Do you call this asking me to do something?

Use this to test cadres? Which cadre cannot withstand such a test? "

"After a few more years, the hormones will stop secreting completely, and I will feel at ease..."

"You have donated one billion, why are you not willing to donate a car?

——Because I really have a car. "

"Work hard and I'll find you a sister-in-law next year."

…

Undoubtedly, the most eye-catching part of this movie is the part starring Fan Wei.

In the words of the majority of netizens: "Power, fame, money, favors, beauty... there is always one of them that can corrupt you!"

No, the leader driver played by Fan Wei who wanted to be a high official eventually fell under the beauty of Li Xiaolu.

Unlike the praise from most audiences, the film critics have found work again.

Strangely enough, every time Feng Xiaogang's movie is released, he is scolded by film critics.

That is, when "1942" was released, the scolding was a little quieter, but it was still scolding.

In their words, "Private Customization" is a castrated version of "Party A and Party B" that is completely copied and shot.

This movie is just junk and bad stuff that Feng Xiaogang is eager for quick success and shoddy to make money.

Feng Xiaogang was like a target to build his reputation, and was bombarded and abused by the film critics.

It is true that Director Feng made this movie just to make quick money to make up for the shortfall of "1942".

He is also willing to accept the scolding from the audience, because the audience spent money to scold him, and he suffers it.

But he is not used to it as a film critic.

There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

At eight o'clock in the morning, "Little Steel Cannon" posted 7 Weibo posts in a row, refuting and criticizing one by one:

"The audience scolded me, but I admit, what kind of big-tailed wolves are you?"

"Watching movies that are free of charge, and even charging money, the scoldings don't even get the point, they are uneducated and have no skills, they only know how to hammer...\

,""So many of you have relied on me for food all these years, how come I can only support you white-eyed wolf sons?"

…

In this way, Feng Xiaogang fought against a team of film critics with one against a hundred, and countless netizens waved their support.

This great drama that comes and goes has all the filmmakers in the industry applauding and applauding, it is wonderful!

71.5 million on the first day, 71.1 million on the second day, 98.86 million on the third day, and 72.86 million on the fourth day!

In this way, "Private Order" was released for 4 days and earned 314 million in its first weekend.

The media and film and television circles are all sensational, not because of the outstanding box office data of this opening weekend, but because of the daily box office.

The media has been reporting for two consecutive days:

"On Saturday, the third day of its release, "Private Order" has a daily box office of 98.86 million, breaking the single-day box office record of 78.05 million for domestic films held by Lin Nan's "The Genius"."

It's been two days, but the industry still can't believe it. The record has been broken like this?

Many people also posted on Weibo about Aitlinan, jokingly asking him what he thought.

What thoughts can Lin Nan have?

He just "swiped" and forwarded another piece of movie information that was also hot news on Weibo.

"Director Lin Nan's "The Invisible Guest" has been released in the North American film market for three weeks, with a total box office of US$194.1 million, and is about to cross the US$200 million box office mark."

Although North America is not like China, there are strict release time restrictions.

But the box office trend is the same everywhere, with daily revenue getting lower and lower. When the box office is gone, the movie will naturally be canceled by the theaters.

Just like now, Tom told Lin Nan that the daily box office has dropped to more than three million dollars, and it will definitely be less than one million dollars at the beginning of next month.

…

On the 23rd, it was around four in the afternoon.

"You two really don't want to come with me?"

Lin Nan stood at the door and asked Liu Yifei and Shu Chang for the second time.

"No, I'm busy."

Miss Liu raised her head, smiled sweetly, and refused directly.

"Yes, I won't go."

Shu Chang also echoed, "Yeah, Sissi, save me."

"You are stupid, run to me."

Seeing the two people arguing and bickering, Lin Nan smiled and shook his head, what about online games?

"Okay, I'll go alone."

After speaking, Lin Nan went to the garage.

In the film market, "Private Customization" is unparalleled.

After the premiere of "New Police Story 2013" ends tonight, it will also join the Lunar New Year battleground tomorrow.

After all, Lin Nan also invested 30 million, so he must go to support it.

In December, it gets dark relatively early.

When Lin Nan arrived at Wanda Cinema around five o'clock or six o'clock, it was already dark.

But this is the capital, and the city's lights are brilliant, making the sky above us look unnaturally bright.

Wanda, Starlight, Lin Nan Pictures, units under the Ministry of Public Security...Jackie Chan, Jing Tian, ​​Liu Ye...

There are countless people in the industry who support movies with this kind of lineup.

When Lin Nan walked alone on the red carpet, reporters asked why Liu Yifei didn't come.

He almost replied that he was at home fighting monsters and doing upgrade tasks!

Wanda was so generous that the entire movie theater closed at 12 noon just for the evening premiere.

"Hey, isn't this the director of our $200 million box office club? I'm just waiting for the data to be updated at noon tomorrow!"

Following Ning Hao's joke, a large number of people in the circle began to congratulate Lin Nan.

"low profile."

Although the box office of "The Genius" has exceeded 200 million US dollars, "The Invisible Guest" is different.

The latter was released in North America and the box office was calculated directly in US dollars. Among mainland directors, Lin Nan was indeed the first.

"Why is Director Lin alone today, where is Yifei?"

Jackie Chan led Jing Tian and other creatives over.

"Brother Lin."

Lin Nan nodded to Jingtian, then looked at Jackie Chan, and said seriously: "She and Shu Chang are busy with other things."

"Brother, Tiantian, you should go and entertain other guests. I don't have to worry about it here."

"Haha, you are the producer, of course you don't need to entertain."

Jackie Chan joked with a smile. After they chatted for four or five minutes, he led the creators away.

Lin Nan came here tonight with no intention of socializing or socializing. She just came to watch a movie and have a meal.

Ning Hao was also the focus of the scene. "No Man's Land" was released for 20 days and ended with a box office of 260 million, making a huge profit.

"Does this one look like he's forcing a smile?"

Seeing Zhong Lifang turn around and walk away, Lin Nan came up and asked.

"Xiao Ma only has one week left. In just a short time, she has already met with several giant companies such as Huayi, Bona, and Chengtian."

Ning Hao glanced around and whispered:

"No one is willing to help, so it's better not to add insult to injury. Half an hour ago, Wang Zhonglei directly invited Zhong Lifeng to join Huayi in front of everyone, giving him shares."

"Is that a rejection?"

Ning Hao nodded, "It's quite straightforward. He said that Director Li trusts him very much and is unlikely to change jobs."

"Quite a character. But in a week, there is a high probability that he will be saddled with more than 1 billion in cash debt." Lin Nan muttered with a smile.

Ning Hao and I stayed in the corner and cracked melon seeds for a while, and then the premiere began.

In the first row, there were two official people in uniforms who came to the platform.

Lin Nan and Ning Hao were seated next to each other, staring at the big screen, preparing to watch this "customized film".

As time passed by, Lin Nan could only lament that it had nothing to do with the previous "Police Story" series.

This is a pure domestic police movie, with a lot of helplessness and constraints.

Jackie Chan is no longer the "flying over the roof and walking over walls" Chen Jiaju who can hit and fall. Jing Tian's crying scene is pretty good.

"Will you book the venue?" Ning Hao asked in a suppressed voice.

"I don't know, but there should be some care."

Lin Nan glanced at the two men in uniform and felt 60 to 70% sure.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, wouldn't that be a sure profit..."

The movie ended quickly, and there was no media question-and-answer session like in the past. When we walked out of the theater, the dinner party outside was already ready.

Next, it depends on everyone's choice whether to socialize and entertain, or to have a serious meal.

Lin Nan didn't care about that, found a secluded corner and sat down.

He was busy running around at the banquet, always with a smile on his face, and was always the most popular actor, but when he saw Lin Nan's attitude of keeping strangers away, he didn't dare to come and disturb him.

It was rare that Lin Nan had a peaceful meal.

He squeezed time and got up and left before 10 o'clock in the evening, without accepting Ye Ning's and others' attempts to stay.

…

The next morning, Monday's box office figures were reported.

The daily box office of "Private Customization" plummeted from 72.86 million to 32.65 million.

Even if there is a reason for entering the week, this decline is indeed a bit scary.

Obviously, Feng Xiaogang's war of words with film critics still had some negative impact.

Hua Yi, the atmosphere in the chairman's office is a bit depressing at this time.

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei don't look very good, but it's not because of the daily box office.

""Private Order" is a box office hit during the Lunar New Year holiday. Even if "New Police Story 2013" is released, it will not pose a threat. It fully meets the hard requirements, but..."

Wang Zhonglei was halfway through speaking and couldn't continue.

The day after the movie was released, he went to the film bureau to apply for an extension key for "Private Customization" for one month.

I thought this matter was a sure thing, but the notice from the Film Bureau this morning was: rejected!

"The box office data of films released during the Lunar New Year period are all posted online. We have no rivals." Wang Zhongjun said coldly.

"But the notice from the Film Bureau is also here, rejecting the application for extension of the secret key. The reasons are all: the conditions are not met! It is not clear which one is not met?"

Wang Zhonglei cursed, but he knew in his heart that this was an excuse given casually, and he couldn't even ask.

…………

Lin Nan was sitting in the office and yawning. On the desktop was a printed list of actors and a stack of actor information.

This was sent from Hou Hongliang in the morning and was just printed out.

Lin Nan is used to reading the paper version, which is more comfortable for the eyes, rather than the electronic version.

"This is their cast list. To be honest, if there is no human connection, I wouldn't believe it."

Yue Jun stood opposite the desk, leaned over and tapped the top piece on the fixed-angle list with his finger, and joked with a smile.

Lin Nan also laughed, "It's quite like that."

Judging from the casting list, Liu Tao will play the role of Princess Nihuang, and will also call Hu Ge "Brother Lin Shu."

This guy already looked older, in fact he was four years older than Hu Ge.

This reminded Lin Nan subconsciously of another legendary figure, Liu Xiaoqing.

"Hiss, I'm getting goosebumps."

"Haha, I remembered again when she announced in front of the media that she would quit the entertainment industry and focus on raising her husband and raising children." Yue Jun said with a smile.

Lin Nan thought about the familiar artists around him.

Well, he had to admit one thing, even if he wanted to replace this person, there was really no one for him for a while.

"Director Lin, is this list a pass or a pass? I can give you a reply there."

"Wait a minute."

…………

Lin Nan once again made headlines in the media and became the most conspicuous one in the industry.

"Director Lin Nan's "The Invisible Guest" was released in the North American film market for 23 days, and the box office officially exceeded 200 million, with a revenue of 202.1 million US dollars..."

"The Academy Awards are about to enter the nomination voting process..."

It's really different now. In the past, Lin Nan only became a famous international director by virtue of the Golden Lion and Silver Bear trophies.

But now, he has achieved the most important actual box office performance, crossing the box office threshold of 200 million US dollars in the North American film market. It is truly complete.

To be honest, he is definitely the most dazzling director in the domestic film industry.

Although there is still a Palme d'Or in front of him, Lin Nan thinks that he is young and will be able to kill Chen Kaige sooner or later!
