That year Huayu

Chapter 1198 Lao Wang’s Advice; Prepare…

"The movie version of Eternal Love grossed 86.96 million yuan on its first day... Alibaba Pictures' two years of preparation and hope may have gone to waste..."

"The high production costs and record-breaking copyright transaction amount are obviously powerless under the fangs of "Wolf Warrior 2". The first film produced exclusively by Alibaba Pictures is bound to suffer heavy losses..."

"Yesterday, the daily box office of Wolf Warrior 2 dropped slightly due to the release of a new film, earning only 263 million yuan, and the total box office has reached 2.401 billion yuan! Its box office growth curve has not slowed down and is still advancing by leaps and bounds."

"According to the forecast of China Film Distribution Company, if nothing unexpected happens, Wolf Warrior 2 will break the highest box office record for domestic films held by Lin Nan's Operation Mekong before the 8th of this month!"

"Guo Jingming tearfully denounced his former employees in front of the media for being vicious, spreading rumors, slandering and defaming... No one in the industry supported him, and the sisters of Tiny Times remained silent and played dumb..."

…

On the return journey in the morning, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and their group occupied the only few business class seats, so when they laughed so loudly, they naturally did not affect the passengers in other carriages.

I have to say that the film, television and entertainment news on the Internet is really funny. This is not the first time that Guo Xiaosi, this "big man", has "cried bitterly" in front of the media.

This was how he behaved when the "Tiny Times" series was being criticized by everyone. He cried and sobbed in front of the camera, and asked the media and film critics to come after him instead of scolding the actors.

"Is this true or false?" Even Liu Yifei was curious and couldn't help asking Lin Nan.

"To be fair, he is a small capital that can produce film and television resources. But in this situation, no co-stars came forward to support him. Isn't this an obvious thing?"

Lin Nan was amused. When Yang Mi first joined the crew of Tiny Times, he joked with Yue Jun that actresses should be very safe in that crew.

Because the director treats the actresses like sisters, and that is indeed the case; but to the male actors, he may not necessarily treat them like brothers!

"Eh~ so disgusting." Miss Liu got goose bumps and had a disgusted expression on her face.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this matter should be suppressed within this month. Companies like Tianyu will protect him because his value is still there and he can create profits."

Lin Nan smiled and analyzed that what he said was the reality in the industry. Whether it was the film and television industry or other industries, wasn't the whole society like this?

As long as you still have value and have not violated the above red lines, you will not die. Because there are people and capital willing to lend a hand and extend an olive branch for the sake of profit.

"Let's change the subject. Let's change the subject. Let's talk about Wolf Warrior 2. My company is going to release it, and I don't know how much it will make at the box office. Xie Nan has been so excited these past two days that he hasn't even gone to work at Guangguang..."

Liu Yifei decisively started talking about happy things, and her two assistants at the back immediately smiled with joy.

Because "Wolf Warrior 2" will bring a huge amount of revenue to Red Star Wood, and according to the generosity of its own boss Liu, the bonus at the end of this year will definitely be a lot more!

…

In the eyes of the entire Chinese-language film industry, Wu Tian and "Wolf Warrior 2" are already on the verge of "the new emperor ascending the throne", and now all that's missing is time.

It only needs to maintain this box office momentum for four or five days at most. By then, "Wolf Warrior 2" will be able to successfully break and refresh the box office record of 3.405 billion, and even higher.

It cannot even be denied that, under such an extreme external environment, perhaps the authorities are also waiting for a new record - the highest box office record for Chinese-language films created by films with "patriotic themes"!

In the light, Wang Changtian was pouring tea for Wu Tian with a smile on his face.

Just an hour ago, the Film Bureau and the Central Propaganda Department sent a joint notice to the four production companies of "Wolf Warrior 2"; the official will hold a symposium for the film on the 24th, and the scale will be very grand.

Participants planned to be invited include, but are not limited to: multiple industry associations, scholars from major universities, leaders of cultural and publicity departments, representatives from the media, film and television arts industry... government leaders...

"I wonder if Director Lin and Producer Liu received the news?"

"They are both still on the high-speed train right now. When they come back, their subordinates will notify them." At this point, Wang Changtian suddenly paused. He looked at Wu Tian and couldn't help but sigh:

"According to the forecast of Guangguang Marketing Department, the final box office of Wolf Warrior 2 may surpass the box office record set by Operation Mekong by 1 billion yuan or even more!

Once this predicted data is successfully achieved, or even exceeded, then you will really be on the throne... Wu Tian, ​​Director Wu, stepping on all the veteran directors in the entire Chinese film industry..."

"Director Wang, please don't bluff me. Do you think this is convincing? Besides having more honors and making more money, can I really enjoy the same treatment as those big directors?

Because you haven’t accumulated the experience of being a film director step by step before, and you haven’t experienced the years of tempering and strengthening your mentality…”

Wang Changtian kindly gave Wu some advice.

Although the latter was shaking his head vigorously, Lao Wang had seen too many people and things in this circle, and he was sure that Wu's personality was the type that was easily carried away and easily drifted;

To put it bluntly, as time goes by, he is likely to attribute all the factors that contributed to the success of Wolf Warrior 2 to himself, and become conceited, arrogant, and self-righteous...

…

"At about 11 noon today, China Film Group, Northern Film Group, and China Television Pictures announced the casting of the science fiction blockbuster "Shanghai Fortress". Actors Lu Han and Shu Qi will play the leading male and female roles in the film..."

“Director Teng Huatao reposted the casting announcement on Weibo to confirm the film and voiced his support: I believe that the combination of Lu Han and Shu Qi will be able to interpret this sci-fi masterpiece to the fullest and live up to the expectations of the audience and fans.”

After leaving the high-speed railway station and just getting on the bus to Hongxingwu, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei "passively" saw the casting news on the Internet.

Lu Han’s popularity is so high that any piece of related information can bring huge traffic on Weibo, not to mention the news that he got the leading role in such a blockbuster movie...

Therefore, in just less than half an hour, the online traffic exploded, and it was impossible for it not to become known to everyone.

"China Film Group!" Lin Nan leaned on Liu Yifei's shoulder and sighed in a sarcastic tone.

"What bad things are you saying in your mind? Or are you laughing at a joke?" Liu Yifei didn't even have to think, she guessed Lin Nan's thoughts based on her intuition.

"Pay attention and see if there is a pharmacy on the way to the private restaurant. If there is, stop there." Lin Nan joked to the driver.

"What are you going to do? Buy medicine?" Liu Yifei frowned, a little confused.

"Yes, I'm buying medicine. I have a roundworm in my stomach. It's called Liu Qianqian."

…

China Film Group.

As the helmsman, La Peikang has deliberately put the matter of "The Founding of an Army" behind him. He is only concerned about "Sky Hunter" which will be released next month and "Shanghai Fortress" which has just been cast.

"Director Teng, tell me about your shooting plan." La Peikang looked at Teng Huatao opposite him.

"The crew will prepare for another month and a half, mainly to perfect the details. The actors will also read the script carefully during this time and adjust to the best state in preparation for the official start of filming in late next month."

The 400 million yuan budget funds have been fully in place, and Teng Huatao can be said to be full of confidence at this moment.

“What’s the shooting cycle?”

"We plan to wrap up the filming by the end of December, which means it will take about three months to shoot."

"Isn't this time a bit short for a science fiction blockbuster?"

"Boss La, didn't Director Lin's The Wandering Earth only take two months to shoot?"

Teng Huatao's joking answer made La Peikang nod with relief.

It's just that these two people obviously have only a vague understanding of "The Wandering Earth". Putting aside the script production cycle of "The Wandering Earth", the crew spent nearly half a year preparing after the project was publicly established;

And it was with the help of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation that the time was successfully shortened to more than 5 months, so Lin Nan was able to finish shooting this hardcore science fiction movie in two months!

As for the preparation time of Shanghai Fortress? It is hard to say. There is almost no news about it.

…

The crew of "Nobody" also began to prepare to leave for Guizhou. After all, the scheduled start time is the 15th, so there are only 10 days left.

Although Han Jianu repeatedly asked Lin Nan whether he wanted to send someone to accompany him to the crew as a supervisor, she actually knew that Director Lin would not do so.

"We have already sent people to do the logistics support there in advance. My dad and I, along with the entire crew behind the scenes, will leave the day after tomorrow morning. Would you two like to come and see us off?"

Facing Xiao Han's expectant eyes, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei shook their heads at the same time, "I don't want to get up early."

"This is my first time as a film director, and you have this attitude? Our friendship is over!"

"That being said, we can visit you later. But getting up early to see you off is a bit embarrassing..."

"How can you say it's difficult? Yifei, feel your conscience and see if it hurts..."

Liu Yifei and Han Jianu were arguing with each other, while Lin Nan was talking on the phone with Old Lin.

"Dad, don't worry about them. They are just bickering over there. I've already booked your flight ticket for the morning of the 21st. Just call me or Yifei when you arrive. We will be waiting outside the airport in advance..."

"Okay, okay, that's the problem. I only saw the photos you sent before, this time, I want to see it in person... Did you really leave two acres of land to grow crops? I'm afraid you can't do this well..."

"Those are vegetable gardens and fruit orchards, not for growing crops." Lin Nan was speechless. How did Miss Liu report this before?
