Chapter 264

It's beyond everyone's expectations.

"Embroidered Spring Knife", which was released on July 7, actually blocked the menacing "Transformers".

With an attendance rate of nearly 500% for 7 screens, the box office grossed 1500 million on the first day.

Watch "Transformers" again.

"Transformers", which was released for 9 days, with 2500 screens, the box office fell below 2000 million for the first time, and it was the first time that the box office was declining and weak.

But Fang Nan and Tang Tang Film and Television still dare not underestimate "Transformers".

The top special effects of "Transformers" have made the film's reputation very strong.

Many young people have unusual feelings for "Transformers".

Who hasn't played with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and more as a kid?
Who hasn't stared at the Autobots on the screen all day.

With the blessing of 20 years of waiting, it is very likely that "Transformers" will trigger a second wave of movie viewing.

Movie audiences all over the world are crazy about "Transformers".

There is no shortage of big-name stars and singers going to Amway in person.

In order to seize the box office in the Asian market, the film distributor.

The scale models of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee were airlifted from North America to Asia, and the models landed in theaters, and the box office is likely to rebound.

How can such a movie be easily judged to death!

"For "Embroidered Spring Knife" and Tang Tang Film and Television, this is a real tough battle! You can see if you want to add more promotional fees, so that Mr. Xu and the others can run a few more city roadshows."

Tang Tang Film and Television is located in the Beijing SoHo office, Fang Nan put down the newspaper, and said to Cai Yinong, Hu Wen and other high-level officials with a stern face.

"The box office of the premiere of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is good, the road show city must be increased, and the public relations must also be done."

Fang Nan looked at Hu Wen in confusion, "Which aspect needs public relations?"

"Let the General Administration hint to the domestic media not to over-promote the release of "Transformers"."

"The media frequently publicizes how long the queue is, how long the movie-watching wave is, and how much the box office is. Such publicity will drive the audience's emotions."

"And according to today's box office trend of "Transformers", the 2.9 million box office of "Golden Armor" will definitely be broken. There is a "Titanic" on it, and there will be another "Transformers". Face?"

"Face is earned by oneself, not by dirty means."

Fang Nan rejected Hu Wen's proposal with a cold face.

He wanted the box office of "Xiu Chun Knife" to increase, but he was unwilling to use such despicable means.

Competing at the box office, private slander and so on are fine. This is called commercial mutual slander by capital behavior.

It is too bad to use official suppression.

This kind of behavior is like two children fighting, one of them loses the fight, and runs home crying to find his parents for help.

"Increase the promotion of the road show of "Xiu Chun Knife" and give more rebates to the theaters. That's it, the meeting is over."

After the meeting was dismissed, Fang Nan just got up and stretched himself, Cai Yinong and Chu Peijun who had been going back and forth came back again.

"If you have anything else to say, hurry up. I'll rest at home tomorrow and join the team the day after tomorrow." Fang Nan looked at the two of them.

Cai Yinong asked: "Do you know the Mai family?"

"The Mecca of Xiangjiang? Isn't he quite young?" Fang Nan was at a loss: "I don't know him in real life, but I've seen his movies."

"I'm talking about Mai Jia, the author of "The Plot"."

"I don't know, I don't have much contact with domestic screenwriters, what's wrong with this person?"

Cai Yinong pointed at Mr. Chu Pei.

"Recently, I haven't been searching for scripts anymore. Mai's "Conspiracy" was successfully adapted into a TV series, so I went to his house. It turned out that this person wrote another one, which will be finished soon, called "The Wind". long spy war novel."

"I read a little novel and found that the story is very strong, which is very suitable for film and television adaptation."

"So? If you want to shoot or not, you can just buy the copyright. Isn't it normal for the company to store hundreds of scripts?"

Fang Nan looked at Chu Peijun curiously.

"Here is the problem. He appointed you as the director, and he will shoot within five years."

"Promise him, and then sign a contract with him to purchase the copyright of his novel first. The novels of spy war novel writers generally have a strong structure and are suitable for adaptation. The company must establish a good relationship with him."

Fang Nan is not familiar with the Mai family, but he is familiar with "The Wind".

In the original time and space, "The Wind" is the first domestic spy movie filmed by Huayi Investment, and its box office and word of mouth are both explosive.

The investment in this group portrait film is relatively small, and it is definitely worth his consent to the novel author's request to direct it himself.

The place that will give him a headache in the future may be who the actors look for.

Originally, he was a signed actor of Yishui Huayi.

"It just happened to pay off Li Bing's debt." Fang Nan muttered to his forehead.

After Chu Peijun left, Cai Yinong asked about the general director of the Spring Festival Gala.

She was puzzled.

Let's not talk about the thankless chief director of the Spring Festival Gala.

Fang Nan would not be unclear. Every year, the practice of choosing the chief director is internally digested by CCTV. The local TV station bids, and the external bidding is just an excuse.

"Mr. Han told me. If you ask me, I don't know the reason. Just hand in the bid. Whether the bid is successful or not is not my business."

"The results should come out before September, and then, are you really going to direct a Spring Festival Gala?"

"Otherwise? Is it good or not? At most, it will waste a few months. I think it will be worse than this year's. This year's ratings are only 30%, which is a record low."

Cai Yinong had no choice but to say, "Then it's up to you."

She sincerely didn't want Fang Nan to direct some Spring Festival Gala, wasting a few months, she might as well make another movie.

06 and 07.

After all, Fang Nan only filmed "Youth in Youth" for the company.

"Painted Skin" is a foreign film, Fang Nan's 1200 million film remuneration company can raise [-]% of the remuneration, but compared with Fang Nan's income from making a film, it is too little.

"Wang Liang's "Nightclub" has been edited, so take the time to watch the finished film."

Cai Yinong walked out of the office with a "tsk".

"Nightclub" is a movie solely owned by Fang Nan, and Tang Tang Film and Television only earned a screenwriting fee.

She might earn some distribution share later, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

I always feel that Fang Nan is going to play tricks again.

After leaving with Cai Yinong, Fang Nan went back to Yard 28 of Yinding Bridge, before the door opened, Hu Wen called.

"Brother Nan, I received a gossip. Just at the stand of our meeting, many media received promotional instructions for "Transformers."

On the phone, Hu Wen couldn't hold back her excitement.

Putting on the phone, Fang Nan was so depressed that he didn't know what to say.

The state's paternalistic protection of Chinese-language films is certainly touching.

But it also makes Chinese movies less hard-working and enterprising. How can children who grow up in the greenhouse go to the world to compete with other movies?
Fang Nan calculated the balance in the bank card in dismay.

Then decided to add another 1000 million yuan to the "Thirteen Swordsmen of Light and Shadow".

"Transformers" has less publicity, and no one even mentions the daily box office data. "Embroidered Spring Knife" has been in the limelight for a while. With a slight increase in the number of films, it won a total of 2500 million on Saturday and Sunday. box office.

It really achieved the achievement of being released for three days and the box office exceeding the total investment of the film.

And word of mouth is also very good.

Netizens on Douban and Mtime gave "Xiu Chun Knife" a score of 7.1, a good score of 7.

Summarize the comments of netizens on the two rating websites for this movie:

A few unknown actresses have good acting skills, but their flaws are not hidden.

With beautiful pictures, exquisite costumes and props, and realistic fighting, "Xiu Chun Knife" is the best martial arts movie in China so far.

Remember, there is no one and only.

Brother Jiaqian in the film is impressive.

It's a pity that Yuan Hong's performance was a little worse.

Rare original martial arts movie.

Mr. Xu is a movie ghost, no one would have thought that he could make a realistic movie "Xiu Chun Knife".

When I go through the baptism of ancient costume blockbusters such as "The Promise", "House of Flying Daggers", "Golden Armor", "Night Banquet", "Mo Gong" and so on, I will watch "Embroidered Spring Knife".

I actually found this small and fresh martial arts film so suitable for my taste.

Sure enough, it all depends on the support of peers?

Two days before "Transformers" disappeared, the audience's praise for "Embroidered Spring Knife" increased.

However, after a few days, the audience who followed "Transformers" realized that something was wrong, and began to crazily pull the hind legs of "Xiu Chun Knife".

Fang Nan was also taken out and sprayed wildly.

The industry is cancerous, deliberately suppressing Hollywood movies, and many netizens almost let him die.

Fang Nan's post bar also staged a series of fans.

"I didn't expect him to be this kind of person!"

Many netizens blamed Fang Nan indiscriminately.

Fang Nan, who had already returned to the crew of "Painted Skin", had no choice but to write a sincere essay on Zha Lang's blog before the development of the situation affected the box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife".

He was also very angry.

It doesn't matter if he takes the blame for the bureau, he is angry that these netizens underestimated him too much.

Anyway, he has a unique life experience in the world.

Do you need to use such indecent means to fix "Transformers" for the sake of a movie's box office?
The small blog composition works well.

And some netizens took the initiative to stand up for science popularization. A single person does not have so much energy.

Fang Nan and "Xiu Chun Knife" finally escaped.

But the reputation of the General Administration in the eyes of netizens plummeted again, and those who were scolded could not look directly at it.

If you can't do it yourself, you will start to suppress foreign films.

Of the four major directors in China, apart from Fang Nan who looks like a human being, how many bad movies have your highly praised Lao Mouzi, Da Pao, and Chen Kaige made over the years?

What are these three people smoking tomatoes and rotten potatoes?
We audiences deserve to suffer, do we deserve to have no good movies to watch?

Well, in the future we will have even more reasons to support pirated movies.

You have to pay a large part of the responsibility for the failure of Chinese-language movies!

Crazy cursing and nonsense online, even Fang Nan was so frightened that he shut down the internet, honestly, he was filming on the set.

"Three two one, action."

"Shua Shua. Oops"

After two or three movements, Zhou Xun swayed and fell to the ground.

"What's going on today? You're obviously unstable."

Knowing that Zhou Xun's boyfriend came with the crew, Fang Nan smiled and teased.

The two people who had known each other before "Painted Skin" have become very familiar with each other after several months of cooperation.

Talking about everything can't be done, and some innocuous little jokes won't make the two of them turn against each other.

The impression Zhou Xun gave him was that it was no longer just a good show and love.

Still very cute.

"Humph"

Zhou Xun flung his big cuffs at Fang Nan in a coquettish manner to express his dissatisfaction.

Fang Nan turned his head to avoid it, and lay down on the beach chair yelling: "Let's take a break, let's all take a break."

Entering August, the temperature in the desert is still very high, but the crew has moved to the cave, which is still cool.

"Director Fang, have a cigarette."

Taking down the cigarette from his chest, Fang Nan turned his head to look at the white-haired Zhao Yanzi.

"The box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is pretty good. When will Director Fang invite you to a celebration banquet?" Zhao Yanzi sat down next to Fang Nan, smoothing her white hair.

"I'm not sure about this, I have to ask Old Freak Xu."

Fang Nan took the initiative to shift the blame.

From the start of "Painted Skin" to the present, the relationship between the crew and actors is pretty good.

There was no messy infighting.

So Fang Nan was able to chat with Zhao Yanzi politely.

He doesn't bother to care about whether the major actors will splash dirty water on each other because of their roles in the future, and he doesn't expect to take on "Painted Skin 2".

"This time during the holiday, I went to Sanlitun and found that it is really popular there. I am interested in opening a restaurant there. Is Director Fang interested in participating? We jointly invest, and the business should not be bad."

"Forget it, I don't have the energy to open a restaurant." Fang Nan refused.

In the same film crew, everyone can have fun and make trouble, but it is unnecessary to do business in partnership.

Don't look at what kind of restaurant Zhao Yanzi wants to open now.

But this man's ambition has always been obvious.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to shout "My ideal is to do business and become a rich man".

With this kind of heart, if she meets Jack Ma again, and has seen what is called "the money of the gentry is returned in full, and the money of the common people is divided into three and seven", this woman will definitely go the old way.

If you cooperate with her, you may take him into the ditch.

Zhao Yanzi persuaded: "There is a chef for cooking, and a manager with management experience is hired. We will be the shopkeeper."

"I'm not interested. Being a director is enough for me."

Fang Nan couldn't live or die, so Zhao Yanzi had no choice but to give up with a face of regret, and began to ask for advice on business.

How could Fang Nan have the ability to teach her this thing, so he dismissed her with a few words under the pretext that the filming would start soon.

"Di Di"

He just sat up straight when Cai Yinong called, "What's the matter?" he asked.

It took Cai Yinong 1 minute to say three pieces of news, and Fang Nan panicked after hearing this.

Because apart from one being good news, he couldn't figure out whether the other two news were good news or bad news.

First: The box office of "Xiu Chun Knife" broke through 5000 million.

This is the good news that Fang Nan believes.

Second: As the No. 33 work, "Chasing Dreams" failed to bid for the Olympic theme song. It is said that it lost to the No. 22 work by one vote.

Third: He succeeded in bidding for the chief director of the 08 Spring Festival Gala. Hard work, enterprising, happy Chinese New Year, and youth became the theme of the 08 Spring Festival Gala.

With the remaining two messages, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

After thinking about it, he thought it would be 55.

"You and Me" is not bad as the theme song of the Olympic opening ceremony, although it has a strong meaning in some aspects.

As for directing the Spring Festival Gala, it's okay, the salary is negligible, but if you do it well, you can increase your popularity.

When the results came out, CCTV called Fang Nan. After all, he needed to face the media, but because "Painted Skin" was still under intense filming, it finally decided to postpone the press conference for a few days.

But the inside information leaked out the next day.

Young people on the Internet were the first to make noise.

They all felt incredible.

The hiring of an external director for the Spring Festival Gala is scary enough, but the external director is Fang Nan, who is only 30 years old next year.

However, the young netizen remains optimistic about the Spring Festival Gala directed by Fang Nan.

How bad could it be?
As long as Fang Nan can invite Uncle Ben Shan, the lower limit of the Spring Festival Gala will be guaranteed.

Afterwards, there will be a few lively programs, programs catering to young people, and the ratings will not be too bad.

Netizens gave advice to Fang Nan, and then blew rainbow farts for Yang Ma. After many years, Yang Ma finally realized the importance of the young group.

Rumors were flying all over the sky, CCTV contacted Fang Nan once again, and after another intensive discussion, CCTV held an external press conference and officially announced that Fang Nan would be hired as the chief director of the 08 Spring Festival Gala.

And inform the local program declaration to start on September 9.

For a time, the whole country was in an uproar.

"too young!"

At this moment, countless middle-aged and elderly people across the country put on glasses, looked at Fang Nan's photo and said this sentence.

Then there was a snowflake of letters pouring into the CCTV building.

There are almost no praises, and only a few criticisms.

The annual Spring Festival Gala is a major event for the people of the whole country, how can it be entrusted to a young boy?
It's just nonsense, and it doesn't matter.

Do you know the importance of the 08 Spring Festival Gala?So-and-so has been working like this for so many years?

Yang Ma was numb by the criticism.

Fang Nan's life in Ningxia is not easy.

The constant calls of human favors and harassing calls every day made him extremely tormented. Later, he simply disconnected the power board of his work mobile phone.

The whole world is considered clean.

"Let's do it again, Xiaoxun, I feel that your emotions are not full enough. Wang Sheng stabbed you because of Pei Rong's death. You screamed in pain. There was resentment and sadness in your cry, and you should have your own love for you." re-understanding."

"Through makeup before and after, or I can tell you directly, when the film is behind the scenes, you will grow old quickly in the screams of this part, which indicates that love can bring people happiness, but it can also bring people infinite pain. "

"So I'm going to scream more sadly?"

Zhou Xun asked Fang Nan while standing still for the makeup artist to touch up.

"I think I want you to scream more miserable! Ah... this kind of thing."

Zhao Yanzi, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, sat up and expressed her understanding.

"It should be more painful, being stabbed by the sweetheart." Chen Kun also joined the discussion.

The three leading actors were excited about the script, and Fang Nan watched happily.

He also hurriedly looked at Sun Li, who was praised by the audience as an acting expert through "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

"I also feel a little more sad."

Under Fang Nan's gaze, Sun Li chose to be in a group with Zhou Xun.

"You don't need to read the script, just experience it with your heart. If we make another martial arts script written by Gu Long, and he beats the sky in the dark, what's the use of reading the script?"

Fang Nan persuaded the three of them to put down the useless script.

"Hey, Brother Nan, don't you go around in circles, are you complaining?" The Riddler's Fang Nan waited for Zhou Xun in a hurry.

"Basically, I imagined that Xiao Wei's emotions bursting from his heart should include sadness, sorrow, pain, and sadness."

"Think about it, Xiao Wei is a monster who has cultivated for many years, how could she be afraid of getting hurt."

"The reason why it is called so is that it contains the emotions I just mentioned in her heart. At this moment, she finally understands love and what it means to be separated from joys and sorrows."

Fang Nan was very interested in discussing the hearts of the characters with the actors.

In his spare time, spying and interpreting the characters' hearts with the actors is what Fang Nan thinks is the fun of the life of the crew.

A director who is in the crew is not greedy for money, nor unspoken rules for actresses.

Facing the camera every day and shouting "three two one, three two one" like a robot, it is actually an extremely boring job.

Under Fang Nan's detailed interpretation, Zhou Xun's Yuezu shouted "power on, power on".

The next moment, she really contributed a shout worthy of an award!
At the same time, "Painted Skin" also completed all the scenes on August 2007, 8, and officially wrapped up!
