That year Huayu

As the first domestic animated film produced by Shiyue Culture under Tiangong Color, it is also based on "Journey to the West".

Therefore, the promotion plans of "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Xiu Chun Dao 2" are completely different. The former does not need to hold any offline promotion conference.

From the beginning, its promotion strategy was very clear and clear, which was to promote it purely online.

Because the influence and appeal of the keywords "Lin Nan Pictures", "Tiangong Color" and "Journey to the West" are completely sufficient.

Sure enough, as expected at the beginning:

With more than six minutes of film editing, supplemented by the stunning theme song "Wukong", "The Return of the Great Sage" has completely exploded on the entire Internet.

Whether it is major video websites, portals, or platforms such as Weibo and Tieba, it dominates the headlines and hot searches for film and television information.

The number of plays, clicks, topic popularity and quantity, the attention and discussion of the movie...all are overwhelming without exception.

In the words of many media outlets:

The two films from Lin Nan Pictures, "Xiu Chun Dao 2" and "The Return of the Great Sage", are very likely to take over half of the market share of the summer season in July. Other domestic films must face severe competitive pressure.

…

Bangkok, the crew of "Detective Chinatown".

Lin Nan didn't care much about the promotion of the company's two movies, but Liu Yifei became worried.

"You really don't have to worry about the promotion of "Manchester by the Sea"?"

Ms. Liu is still very concerned about this movie that helped Lin Nan win three awards: the Golden Globe, the Golden Bear, and the Oscar for Best Director.

"Don't worry about it. In terms of popularity and influence, this movie is definitely the biggest in the domestic film market this year. As for how much box office it can get? That depends on fate."

Looking at Liu Yifei's delicate face, Lin Nan smiled and said it very casually.

It's not that he doesn't want to take care of "Manchester by the Sea", it's just that he is powerless. This movie is not a "blockbuster" movie at all!

It might be better not to promote it, as it can "cheat" more viewers into the theater.

If we really want to promote it, who would go to the cinema and feel uncomfortable?

Going in happy and full of expectations and coming out feeling heavy, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless? Isn't this looking for sin?

"Well, okay then. Mainly because Zhou Xun and the others asked me why I didn't see the company send an invitation to the premiere of this movie."

Liu Yifei obviously thought of the key point belatedly, and then stopped worrying about this issue.

"Okay, get ready to start work. Finish it as soon as possible in the next few days, and we can return to China."

As Lin Nan was talking, someone from the logistics team came running over, "Director Lin, there are many people gathered outside, including domestic tourists and the media..."

"Stop them, be careful not to let them interrupt the shooting, and don't..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately gave orders. Director Lin Da walked to the shooting scene with a smile on his face.

I have to say that the way Producer Liu is busy getting down to business is really charming!

When the camera was turned on again, it was the scene of "Tang Ren" and "Qin Feng" kicking open the door of "Sinuo"'s house.

The little girl wearing short sleeves, shorts, and red flip-flops fell to the ground, surrounded by a burning diary and a bottle of sleeping pills.

When Wang Baoqiang's "Tang Ren" hurriedly went out holding "Sinuo" to find a car to take to the hospital, a close-up shot showed the contents of the diary in the hands of "Qin Feng" and paused for two seconds.

The last page of the diary pierced the eyes of "Qin Feng".

Words such as "animal desires", "dirty", "bed", "sin", "photos", and "threats" clearly illustrate the problem.

In an instant, the gold theft case and the murder case were connected in his mind, and all the connections seemed to be clearer?

Half an hour later, the crew moved to the hospital.

"Tang Ren" and "Qin Feng" were chased by "Huang Langdeng" and others again, and "Tang Ren" knocked down the medical cart.

When "Qin Feng" saw the scene of the drawer of the medical trolley being thrown out and then closed, the last trace of confusion about the "murder case" and the "gold theft case" dispersed in his mind.

That is to say, the box "Tang Ren" transported from the "Songpa Workshop" contained not gold at all, but the murderer of "Songpa", and the gold was still in the workshop!

"Click!"

Lin Nan shouted with a loudspeaker. He looked at his watch and saw it was 11:30 noon.

“We’ll be here this morning, everyone getting ready for lunch.

Work started early at two o'clock in the afternoon to shoot the last 'car chase scene' of the movie.

After this scene is over, "Detective Chinatown" can basically be announced as finished! "

Hearing this, everyone on the crew was a little excited. The filming for more than a month was finally coming to an end.

When Lin Nan returned to the rest area, the hotel's dining car had already begun distributing set meals.

The assistant first sent Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's, as well as fruit plates and ice cream.

Ms. Liu, the producer, was not in a hurry to eat because the logistics team was still reporting something to her.

It seems that although several road sections where the chase scenes were filmed have been closed, many tourists have also identified the filming locations.

At this moment, both sides of the road over there are crowded with people, just waiting to watch the excitement.

"...It's okay for them to watch the excitement, but make sure not to break in. In addition, add more manpower to ensure the safety of the crew members and tourists, and no accidents will occur."

"Okay, Producer Liu."

After the logistics people walked away, Liu Yifei sat on the folding chair and gathered around the small table to prepare to eat.

"Well, Producer Liu's aura was so strong just now that I didn't even dare to interrupt." Lin Nan smiled and flattered him.

"Hmph, that's right."

Liu Yifei blinked her right eye lightly and raised her eyebrows at Lin Nan with a smile.

At the same time, the chopsticks in her hand skillfully took away a piece of beef from Lin Nan's set meal.

domestic.

"Fast 7" has gradually come to an end after breaking the 2.053 billion box office record held by "Taking Tiger Mountain".

With a large number of domestic films, there is finally a feeling of relief. Many people in the industry even look forward to "the end of all hardships."

"Produced by Universal Pictures and directed by James Wan, the imported Hollywood blockbuster "Fast and Furious 7" was released in China for more than 20 days, with a total box office of 2.42 billion, and its box office potential has been exhausted."

"Starring Huang Xiaoming, Yang Mi, Yang Ying, Tong Dawei and others, "Why Shengxiaomo" received a lot of negative reviews.

Huang Xiaoming reproduces the acting style of a domineering president, with exaggerated and awkward performances; Yang Mi's acting is formal, her expressions are single, and her lines are weak, just like in "Tiny Times"; Yang Ying is even more unbearable..."

""The Left Ear" exceeded 300 million box office and won unanimous praise from directors such as Chen Kexin."

"The movie "Wolf Warrior" held a high-profile celebration banquet in Beijing. Director Wu Gen and his wife Xie Nan made an appearance; producer Liu Yifei was busy with "Detective Chinatown" and was unable to attend..."

…

A chase scene really only took a day and a half to shoot.

On the morning of the 4th, the crew of "Detective Chinatown" set up a camera in the hospital ward.

On the hospital bed is Zhang Zifeng's "Sinuo", and next to him is his adoptive father "Li" played by Pan Yueming.

After Lin Nan shouted "action", "Tang Ren" played by Wang Baoqiang began to retell the murder case, exposing this sick "adoptive father" step by step.

…

"Dad, is this true?"

"I don't regret doing it...I love you."

"I know."

"No, you don't know I love you."

After the action of turning around and jumping off the building, the scene where the "adoptive father" was killed by "Kuntai" who happened to arrive and took the credit needed to be completed with special effects in post-production.

"Ka! The acting is very good. Especially the action of twisting the neck, which implies that this character is perverted and extremely paranoid at heart."

Lin Nan said this to Pan Yueming. Obviously, the tempering of his marriage has caused a qualitative change in his mood and acting skills.

"Thank you, Director Lin, for the compliment. I'm done with it now."

After more than half an hour, the crew transitioned to the police station’s commendation meeting.

"Kuntai" played by Xiao Yang, who has "nepotism", has become a hero in recovering stolen goods, killing fugitives, and was promoted to deputy director!

Chen He's acting skills are also very good. Looking at Xiao Yang who came on stage to accept the commendation, he felt like he had been cuckolded throughout the whole process, and was even humiliatingly slapped in the face by reporters for photos...

Lin Nan struck while the iron was hot and decided to finish the project in the afternoon.

When he saw the signboard of the famous gay bar in Bangkok, "Qin Feng" played by Liu Haoran reacted. The previous clues also led to the conclusion: "Songpa" is gay and it is impossible for "Sinuo"... …

Back to the hospital again, this time there were only "Qin Feng" and "Sinuo".

"Aren't you going back to China today?" Zhang Zifeng asked with a smile.

"I want to tell you a story."

"How come you and that uncle both love telling stories?" The voice was still soft.

"A boy is missing...

The torn-out part of the last page of the diary... maybe it's the method of killing... I wrote it deliberately for my adoptive father to see... The girl decided to use us to get rid of her perverted adoptive father... But she missed one thing, she thought other things It is impossible for people to know that the man she falsely accused of molesting her was a homosexual..."

"You seem to have stopped stuttering...but I really can't understand..."

Zhang Zifeng still smiled, like an innocent little girl.

"forget it."

"Qin Feng" turned around and was about to leave, but another voice came from behind:

"This book says... everyone is born with different roles, some good and some evil. What about you?"

The moment Liu Haoran's "Qin Feng" turned his head, a close-up shot of Zhang Zifeng showed her smiling.

"Evil man, shouldn't you laugh like this?"

"Click!"

Lin Nan shouted excitedly and extremely relaxedly. He walked up to Zhang Zifeng: "Very good, the last 'Kubrick Gaze' was perfect!"

Liu Yifei held a loudspeaker and said, "I announce that "Detective Chinatown" is officially finished!"

"Sissi, are you trying to steal my line?" Lin Nan turned around and pretended to "question".

"Oh, it's all the same."

Producer Liu smiled and waved his hands, causing everyone in the crew to laugh as well.

"It's now around four o'clock in the afternoon. The main creators are going back to the hotel first, and the logistics team is finishing up... getting ready to return home."

"Okay, Director Lin."

"receive."

…

When returning to the hotel, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Zifeng, Tang Yan, Xiao Yang, and Chen He were sitting on the bus together.

Tang Yan asked a question that made others equally curious and half-informed.

"Director Lin, why don't you explain the story of Songpa's son Dan in the script and just say he is missing?"

After hearing this question, Lin Nan nodded in approval.

He saw Liu Yifei and others with the same "seeking solutions" look, and then explained:

"According to the setting, 'Sinuo' and 'Dan' are very good friends; and another setting of 'Sinuo' is a perfect criminal, so she will not kill 'Dan'."

"That?"

"Here we leave some room for open imagination for the ending. Will 'Dan' come back on his own after a while? When 'Sinuo' informs him that he can come back?"

Lin Nan said with a smile. Several people's eyes widened.

"She's just missing, but not dead. Maybe she 'disappeared' on her own initiative!" Liu Yifei took over and reasoned.

"On this side of 'Sinuo', there is an adoptive father who has morbid thoughts about her; on the other side, 'Dan' has a gay father who hides it well from the outside world... He does not exclude his biological son..."

Chen He's mind was spinning very fast. Halfway through, he just held back.

"So there is an unwritten 'truth', that is: two children teamed up to set up a trap to kill two adults and escape from their respective shady families?

Director Lin, your script is a bit scary to think about! "

Xiao Yang said what he was thinking and instantly gained the approval of others.

"I didn't say anything. This is all your imagination."

Lin Nan denied it with a smile on his face.

After the movie is released, if the audience thinks the same way, their attitude will be the same: I didn't, I didn't write, you are just imagining it!

…………

The news from Bangkok quickly spread back to China because it was impossible to hide it.

By the evening, there was already news online.

"It is reported that the comedy detective film "Detective Chinatown" written and directed by director Lin Nan officially wrapped up this afternoon in Bangkok."

"Director Lin Nan and producer Liu Yifei are expected to return to China in the near future..."

"The theater chain stated that it will provide more film scheduling support for the foreign language film "Manchester by the Sea" directed by Lin Nan..."

…

At night, Lin Nan was lying on the hotel bed reading the domestic news, a little speechless.

"Look, when I return to China this time, I will definitely be chased and intercepted by a large number of media at the airport."

"There's nothing wrong with that. There has been a lot of news about us and the company during this period. I have become a Hong Kong citizen again, and the media has blocked Hongxingwu. Those reporters who had my mother's phone number a long time ago even called her to find her. There it went."

Liu Yifei was wearing a bathrobe, sitting in front of the dressing mirror and applying a facial mask. Her voice was soft and waxy, which sounded very nice.

"Then what does our mother say?"

Lin Nan asked with a smile. Liu Yifei's former assistant was Liu Xiaoli.

"Mom said she didn't care, so she came to ask us." Liu Yifei replied playfully.

…

The next day, it was around seven o'clock in the morning.

All the main creators of the "Detective Chinatown" crew set off from the hotel to the airport together.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei originally thought they would not return to China with others, but who knew that this group of people came specifically to inquire about their flights.

At this time in China, the film and television industry is in a commotion again, because news has spread about several "blockbuster movies."

"Director Yue, the script of "Love in Seattle 2" has just been reviewed. Director Xue called."

"Director Lin will be back today. He will handle it later. Please reply to Professor Xue."

"OK."

After the assistant left, Yue Jun looked at the movie information on the Internet and couldn't help but feel a little disdainful:

"The investment is quite big. Are you supporting your son?"
