That year Huayu

Three blockbusters are about to be released, especially "The Painted Wall" and "The Legend of White Snake" attracting attention.

Many filmmakers, producers, and film and television stars use Weibo to help promote and support their films.

But there is a distinct phenomenon that is very interesting.

Most of the celebrities in "Painted Wall" are from the mainland;

"The Legend of White Snake" is just the opposite. It is all directors and stars from Hong Kong Island.

This clear and naked stance made netizens call it incredible and wonderful!

But to be honest, "The Legend of White Snake" can indeed be regarded as a Hong Kong film.

The entire movie was made by directors, producers and shooting teams from Hong Kong. More than 80% of the main actors are not from the mainland...

If it hadn't been competing against "Painting on the Wall", maybe a large number of mainland artists would have supported it.

It can only be said that in front of the Hong Kong circle and Wang Changtian, the mainland people still chose the light very sensibly!

…………

Lin Nan felt that Yang Zai might have been drinking fake wine, otherwise he wouldn't be able to shout such silly slogans and say such big words!

What "After "The Legend of White Snake", there will be no more "White Snake"!"

"The king of box office during the National Day period is within your reach..."

"After "The Legend of White Snake", Juli will invest in the production of ten more movies with a cost of over 100 million!"

…

On the afternoon of the 28th, "The Legend of White Snake" was released first.

Looking at the online reports, the theater can really be described as a huge crowd of people, but I don’t know what the outcome will be.

Lin Nan received a call from Wang Luodan. As expected, it was she who replaced Yang Mi.

As a member of the Beijing circle, she was just a little short during the audition, so it makes sense to replace her with her now.

The next day, the six-hour box office of "White Snake" was reported, 9 million!

By this time, the three movies have begun to compete head-on!

Yang Zai's bragging in the early stage still had some effect.

The single-day box office on the 29th came out. "White Snake" had a first-day score of 9 million + 15.8 million, crushing the 12 million of "Painting on the Wall" and the 6.1 million of "Revolution of 1911".

Not to mention the first two, Shanghai Film's "Revolution of 1911" is finished.

"The film is not as grand as "The Founding of the People's Republic" and "The Founding of the Party", and it can't be reserved. How can it compare with those two films?" Most people in the industry think so.

The box office of "Revolution of 1911" on its first day was destined to be a loss-making one.

Thinking about the big words Ren Zhonglun said before, his face was slapped...

On the 30th, the box office of "White Snake" exploded, with a single daily receipt of 32 million, crushing the 13 million of "Painted Wall".

Yang Zai spoke again: "This National Day slot belongs to "The Legend of White Snake". Our movie box office is bound to exceed 300 million or 400 million, and continue to grow all the way..."

I discovered something very strange.

Even those film critics who are always looking for trouble, all have the same evaluation of "The Legend of White Snake", and they are all positive!

Negative reviews that appear online are quickly submerged or disappear.

A discerning person will know something is wrong at a glance.

At this time, someone began to break the news:

"A large number of film critics have received 'hush money' and 'retouching fees' from Juli Pictures!"

"On the official Weibo of "The Legend of White Snake", there are serious deletions and spamming of posts..."

…………

"Old Wang took action?"

Lin Nan was a little doubtful whether Wang Changtian had started to take action.

Even though Yang Zai immediately stood up and denied the behavior of "stuffing money" and "deleting posts", and warned with words such as "slander" and "calling the police", it still failed to prevent the sharp decline in the box office the next day. .

"How many?"

"The daily box office dropped from 32 million to 20 million. Yang Zai has already started to curse, haha..."

Lin Nan looked at the news and saw that "White Snake" was seriously injured in one day.

Other movies entered the National Day holiday and saw box office increases, but this one dropped 12 million.

"Look, they are still offering a reward of 100,000 yuan to find the person who spread the rumors and caused trouble. It would be strange to find him!"

…………

The box office of "Painted Wall" is rising steadily, reaching 14 million.

At this time, the negative reviews about "The Legend of White Snake" on the Internet could no longer be suppressed.

"What kind of "Legend of the White Snake" is this? I only saw Fa Hai and Bai Suzhen from the beginning to the end. What sense of existence does Xu Xian have? Wen Zhang played more roles as Fa Hai's disciple than Xu Xian!"

"The emotional scenes are too direct and hasty, and the girl's pursuit of the boy is too exaggerated, without even a hint of foreshadowing?"

"This is completely "The Legend of Fa Hai". Eight out of ten minutes are Jet Li's Fa Hai..."

…

Faced with overwhelming negative reviews, Juli and Yang Zai were obviously inexperienced and didn't know how to deal with it.

As a result, the daily box office of "White Snake" dropped by 12 million, and then shrunk by 6 million again, to 14 million.

In just two days, the daily box office dropped by 18 million. This is the first time this has been seen in the domestic film market, especially during the National Day holiday.

This box office trend has left the industry stunned.

Finally, on the 3rd, "Painting on the Wall" took over the top spot at the daily box office from "White Snake". The former reported 15 million, which was rising very steadily, while the latter only had 12 million.

At this time, there were many comments questioning the special effects of "White Snake".

"Why do I feel that the special effects of "The Legend of White Snake" are far inferior to the original "Warring States"? It feels similar to "The Painted Wall"?"

"I felt the same way. I thought it was my problem!"

…

…

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went to visit Zhang Liangying, who was recording "Light Years Away".

A movie theme song cannot be completed in one go. It requires multiple recordings and post-production editing.

Liu Yifei really liked singing, so she stayed on.

"If you have anything to do, go back first and pick me up in the afternoon." Miss Liu waved to Lin Nan and told her.

"Don't worry, Director Lin, I will take good care of Yifei."

Zhang Liangying said with a smile.

"Okay, you can call me this afternoon."

Lin Nan glanced at Liu Yifei, and there was something wrong with him.

…

After leaving Zhang Liangying's studio, Lin Nan drove straight to the company.

"what happened?"

"I really made you guess. That guy was quarreling with the audience, and he spoke without thinking. He poured dirty water on us."

Lin Nan looked at the news and found that Yang Zai really didn't keep his mouth shut and couldn't speak with his brains.

"The special effects of "The Legend of White Snake" are not as good as that bad movie "Warring States". This is something I cannot accept!"

"I suspect that the special effects of Tiangong Color may have cut corners."

"I'm going to talk to Lin Nan later and ask him what's going on. It's not reliable at all!"

"I spent money..."

…

…

Isn’t that how hype works?

Lin Nan glanced at Yue Jun, "Is this guy not crazy?"

"I just called, but Yang Zai didn't answer. Someone from their company told me that Yang Zai was busy and asked me to contact him later, Mad!"

Yue Jun said cursingly.

"Don't answer? Then there's no need to answer."

Lin Nan sneered, sat back in his seat, and turned on the computer.

…

Half an hour later, Lin Nan Pictures' official Weibo and Lin Nan's private Weibo updated the news, which was exactly the same.

"I didn't go to the premiere of "The Legend of White Snake" before. I went to "The Painted Wall". Now I would like to inform Mr. Yang of Juli to pay the balance of the special effects production fee.

Your company only gave you 30 million, which is still 70 million short of the 100 million you said you would spend on special effects.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. You only gave 30 million, so you definitely won’t see the special effects of 100 million.

One final piece of advice: False propaganda is very demeaning. By the way, do you have any character? "

In addition to one post, it also comes with Tiangong Color and Juli’s transaction details, which is very convincing.

Lin Nan's statement here was like throwing a bomb, blowing up "The Legend of White Snake" and Yang Zai.

The industry, media, and the Internet suddenly became extremely lively.

"Good guy, if you blow up the special effects from 30 million to 100 million, there will be no one left."

"This is now convincing. The special effects of "Warring States" cost 70 million!"

In everyone's eyes, Yang Zai is undoubtedly a stick.

Lin Nan didn't expose you in the first place, but you still rush to find trouble. Isn't this because your brain is full of shit?

Now it's great, the daily box office dropped by 10 million!

…

In the afternoon, Yue Jun's phone was always turned off because Yang Zai kept calling.

"Don't worry about them. This company will be blacklisted in the future and will not cooperate. It also invests in ten movies worth hundreds of millions, just to invest in it?"

Lin Nan gave Yue Jun decisive instructions and then left the company.

Liu Yifei was urging him to come over, and Zhang Liangying was treating him to dinner.

…………

"Director Wang, I'm driving the car right now."

Lin Nan turned on the volume on her cell phone and placed it on the passenger seat.

"Well done. That guy is still quibbling in front of the media right now, haha..."

Wang Changtian rambled on, not caring whether Lin Nan was driving or not.

After summarizing, Lao Wang had one idea, he was ready to fuck Yang Zai.

…

Zhang Liangying treated her today mainly to thank Lin Nan for giving her the theme song of "Passengers".

Zhang Liangying was very polite and kept waiting. It wasn't until Lin Nan arrived that her assistant went to tell the dishes to be served.

"I saw your Weibo post. Many people are joking and saying that they are willing to help you collect the account and give you a little commission. Haha..."

Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan and said with a smile.

"That guy has a brain problem and we won't deal with him anymore..."

Since it was someone else's treat, Lin Nan didn't want to talk about these nonsense.

…

After more than an hour, we were full of wine and food.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei waved to Zhang Liangying and prepared to leave.

"Waiting for the movie premiere, I invite you to show off your singing skills."

"Haha, that's a dream come true. I'm waiting for the invitation from Director Lin and Yifei. Goodbye."

"Bye-Bye."

…………

At midnight.

A large number of posts have appeared online and in the media...

"My thoughts after watching "The Legend of White Snake": The White Snake that impressed me most was Zhao Yazhi, who was noble and elegant.

After watching "The Legend of White Snake", I really felt that Huang Shengyi was too bad, her performance was too coquettish and coquettish..."

"Zhao Yazhi's White Snake gives me the feeling that she has descended from heaven to earth; while Huang Shengyi's White Snake seems to have come from heaven and earth..."

"What the two people above described is so accurate. It feels like this. It seems that you can be rich, like Yang Zai..."

"Oh, I miss Heaven and Earth. Many of them are college students, and there are even third-tier stars. Why are they blocked!"

…

…

Various posts about "The Legend of White Snake" popped up all at once.

By the time dawn came, it was already out of control!
