Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 224 The Olive Branches of Major Film Industries
Chapter 220: The Olive Branches of Major Film Industries
With the end of the Spring Festival holiday, the box office data of scheduled movies has also plummeted. Even popular movies such as "Tang Detective 2" and "Kung Fu Yoga" have dropped to about 8000 million per day. There is no doubt that for filmmakers , This year's Spring Festival stalls have ended.

Even though there will be a month-long release period and even traditional festivals such as the Lantern Festival in the middle, these factors will basically have little effect on the final box office.

Within two days, Lin Yuan held a grand celebration press conference for the achievements of the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" at the hotel.

Lin Yuan originally planned to hold an ordinary celebration banquet, but Guangguang Media did not intend to keep a low profile, and directly changed the celebration banquet into a celebration press conference. The [-] million box office ceremony was also held.

As soon as the news came out, it also attracted many media reporters.

Of course, it may also be deliberately arranged by Enlight Media.

After all, the celebration party of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was basically organized by Guangguang Media, perhaps because the film premiere was too low-key before, so the scale of the celebration party was extraordinarily grand, with a professional master of ceremonies, and female The group danced the opening dance to warm up the scene, and even put on a red carpet show.

Although it is indeed a bit exaggerated to do so, the topicality is directly full.

After some performances, the main creative team including Lin Yuan, Xu Zheng, and Ning Hao came on stage together. Perhaps no one thought that "The God of Medicine" could achieve such explosive results, so they expressed a lot of emotion.

From the creation of film scripts to the difficulties encountered during filming and so on.

Finally, I did not forget to thank the director Lin Yuan.

It can be said that a realistic movie can win the box office champion of this year's Spring Festival. It can be said that the script is well written, but it cannot be denied that the director Lin Yuan made this movie.

Even Ning Hao picked up the microphone and praised in front of the media cameras: "Giving the movie "The God of Medicine" to Lin Yuan for shooting is probably the wisest choice I have ever made. Zheng's idea is very realistic. If Lin Yuan fails to make this movie well, we will temporarily change the director, and at most let Lin Yuan be named as an assistant director. In the end, Lin Yuan proved with facts that Xu Zheng and I were completely overwhelmed. gone."

The media reporters in the audience burst into laughter.

Unexpectedly, Ning Hao said it so bluntly, that he even had the idea of ​​changing the director at the beginning.

However, it can also be seen from this that, as a new director, Lin Yuan was not favored at the beginning. Even Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, who were looking for Lin Yuan to cooperate, were not sure if he had the strength.

Lin Yuan smiled and joked, "Fortunately, I was lucky to meet such a professional production team, otherwise I might have to sit next to it."

In a simple sentence, I transferred the credit from myself to the entire shooting team.

This high EQ answer also made the staff of "The God of Medicine" feel very relieved. If other young directors made such an explosive work, I'm afraid they would have already taken the credit for themselves. How can I remember their silently dedicated staff?

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, the crew of "The God of Medicine" also liked Lin Yuan a little more.

After saying these polite words, the media reporters in the audience rushed to interview them first. There were no new questions, and they were only asked these few questions.

Either when the sequel of "The God of Medicine" will be filmed, or what Lin Yuan thinks about his first box office of tens of billions, or he is asking Lin Yuan about his next plan. As for Xu Zheng, Ning Hao and others, there are also questions. Many media reporters interviewed him, but obviously Lin Yuan did not receive as much attention.

After the movie celebration press conference here, Lin Yuan went to the banquet hall downstairs to entertain his friends in the circle.

Even if Lin Yuan didn't invite, friends in the circle like Huang Bo and Deng Chao would come in person. After all, Lin Yuan was the first actor to win tens of billions in box office, so these friends naturally wanted to come to celebrate.

In addition to friends in the circle, even the bosses of companies such as Enlight Media, Wanda Pictures, and Bona Pictures also came here.

"Congratulations to director Lin Yuan, it's another movie that has exploded in word-of-mouth and box office."

"Winning the box office champion during the Spring Festival for two consecutive years, Director Lin's box office appeal is not easy!"

"Among the younger generation of filmmakers, I am most optimistic about Director Lin. Not only is his acting skills good, but his ability to make movies is also top-notch. Last time I talked about this with Director Zhang, he also praised Director Lin. No mouth."

"If I had known that the movie "The God of Medicine" would be released during the Spring Festival, I would not have arranged "Operation Red Sea" for the Spring Festival."

Several bosses got together and congratulated Lin Yuan in different ways.

Everyone in the circle knows that Lin Yuan is a cash cow right now, and even if these bosses are not interested in Lin Yuan, there is no reason to have trouble with money.

Take the relationship between Huayi Brothers and Feng Xiaogang as an example. If it weren’t for Feng Xiaogang, Huayi Brothers would not have the capital to dare to put forward the idea of ​​"de-simplification of movies". The director typed it out.

Although Lin Yuan is not as good as Feng Xiaogang now, he is still young and has great potential.

It's just that they all knew that Lin Yuan's first film directed and acted in himself could make money, but no one thought that "The God of Medicine" could earn more than 30 billion at the box office, and directly won the box office champion of this year's Spring Festival. Explosion, just this IP is worth a lot of money all of a sudden.

Enlight Media also relied on the two films it invested in during the Spring Festival this year, and even the stock price has risen a lot.

The real benefits are right in front of you, can other bosses not envy?

Lin Yuan had a drink with several bosses, and said cheerfully, "It's also my luck. If I hadn't met director Ning Hao who gave me such a good script, I wouldn't have been able to make such a good movie."

There is nothing wrong with listening to this.

But these bosses are all good people, and they say yes, but they are full of slander in their hearts. If it is really all about the script, then the screenwriter should be the one enjoying the applause now, and Lin Yuan will be the director.

You must know that this is a movie with a box office of over 30 billion. There are only three movies in the history of Chinese-language movies. Could the script of "The God of Medicine" be ranked in the top three among Chinese-language movies?
Seeing Lin Yuan's understatement made these bosses very angry.

But after thinking about it, it is understandable for Lin Yuan to have such thoughts.

When I was an actor, I made many high-grossing movies such as "Tang Detective", "Looking for the Dragon", and "The Mermaid". Now it is not surprising that I directed and acted in a movie and won 30 billion box office, isn't it? Don't let people be humble?

"Last year, Director Lin was "The Mermaid" and "Predecessor 3". The four schedules accounted for half of the time. This year just started and "The God of Medicine" again. This does not give other films a chance to compete." Bona Films The professional Yu Dong pretended to sigh.

This is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is true.

Now that the movie market is getting bigger, the audience's movie-watching habits have also been cultivated, and the box office of the four seasons throughout the year is good.

But apart from Hollywood movies, the previous movies starring Lin Yuan won the box office champions in all four slots. If Lin Yuan only had two movies released last year, he might have already dominated the list in four slots.

Lin Yuan's current box office appeal is a bit exaggerated. If it were before, maybe Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou's films could earn a bit of box office with Lin Yuan, but now, except for Star Master and Jackie Chan, who rely on audience feelings Apart from the famous stars, I am afraid it will be difficult to find an opponent.

Last year's Spring Festival, "The Mermaid" smashed the box office and won the championship. If "Wolf Warrior 2" hadn't turned out, I am afraid that only the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" can stand up to it.

Not to mention that Lin Yuan also had films such as "Looking for the Dragon", "Detective Chinatown", and "Scorching Sun", all of which had no rivals in the same period.

It may not feel like this to pick up a movie starring Lin Yuan alone, but it is scary enough to list the movies he has starred in in the past two years.

In the past, Lin Yuan was an actor, and their various film companies could find Lin Yuan as the lead actor to make two films, but now that Lin Yuan is starting to take the director's path, it will not be so simple if they want to cooperate again, and more importantly, If they competed on the same schedule as Lin Yuan, they might not be their opponents.

This is what the bosses of the major film companies are worried about.

Lin Yuan didn't want to become the public enemy of all the film and television companies. He smiled and said, "I can't help it. I've been playing tricks in Hengdian for too long before, and I want to take on any dramas. Now that I'm finally famous, it's time to take a good rest and plan."

The implication is that he will not take on as many works as before, at least it will not happen that half of the films scheduled for this year's Spring Festival will be played by him.

With such a huge market, Lin Yuan makes two films every year, and other film industries can also make a lot of money.

Besides, no matter what movie is now, it has a luxurious cast, and some movies are even more popular than movies starring Lin Yuan, but the last look at the box office, after all, the movie was not shot well, and the audience did not buy it.

After hearing this, Yu Dong's eyes brightened: "Director Lin, Bona Films has a pretty good script, why don't you read it?"

Since the IP of "The Wind and Cloud of Macau" completely collapsed, Bona Films has begun to transform into filming the main theme movies. The success of "Operation Red Sea" this time also proves that their path is not wrong.

However, the box office did not reach half of that of "Wolf Warrior 2", which made Yu Dong a little discouraged. He thought that this was not a problem with the movie, but that the movie was not chosen correctly.

Although there is no difference between making movies now and a few years ago, it is nothing more than looking for big directors and big stars, but sometimes this trick is not very effective. Even Feng Xiaogang's "Fang Hua" has "pushed", and it is ambiguous. Big directors and popular stars are not enough, you still have to find talented actors like Huang Bo, Lin Yuan, and Zhang Yi.

If someone with box office appeal like Lin Yuan can be cast, with the reputation of "Operation Red Sea", breaking 30 billion won't be a problem.

Before Lin Yuan could answer, Wang Changtian from Enlight Media interjected and said, "Lin Yuan, as long as you can shoot "The God of Medicine 2" before next year, Enlight will invest [-] million yuan for you."

As soon as these words were said, the other bosses secretly rejoiced.

Enlight Media, as the second largest domestic film and television company in terms of market capitalization, has always been small and big, and it’s okay to invest in these small and medium-cost films. Now there are such successful works as "A Good Show" and "I'm Not the God of Medicine". Still can't move forward, just invest 30 million yuan to make a movie with a box office of [-] billion yuan, which makes people feel a little funny.

When Lin Yuan heard this, he secretly estimated in his heart that the money he earned from filming "The God of Medicine" was not as much as the money he made from investing in "Tang Detective 2".

If Guangguang Media invests in the production of "The God of Medicine 2" again, it will be a pure resentment to beat workers. Why not find other film companies to cooperate with and see if you can invest in the big head to make a movie like Chen Sichen? , As for whether to bring money into the group as a starring role or as a director, then what type of movie script is it.
