That year Huayu

Lin Nan Pictures, in the office.

Lin Nan resisted yawning, and listened with a serious and gloomy expression as Yue Jun was "filled with righteous indignation"!

The daily box office numbers of several movies yesterday were released early this morning.

But these box office data make the entire film industry a little unbelievable.

Because the daily box office of Lin Nan Pictures' two movies fell off a cliff like an avalanche.

It turns out that today's box office decline is a normal thing. It is the law of the market and there is nothing to make a fuss about.

But the problem lies in the reputation of "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Xiu Chun Knife 2". They have been very good since their release, especially the former, which is a hit!

Moreover, the daily box office of these two movies was nearly 60 million and nearly 30 million the day before yesterday.

But yesterday, it was said that it was cut in half, and it was cut in half very suddenly without any warning, and even two-thirds of it was cut off.

This situation is very wrong!

""Monster Hunt" was released for two days, and the daily box office was 152 million and 151 million respectively; "Pancake Man" was released on the first day, with 128 million.

Even if they account for the majority, it is absolutely impossible for the daily box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Xiu Chun Dao 2" to be like this!

Obviously, the daily income was 60 million and 30 million the day before, but the next day it inexplicably dropped to 30 million and 10 million?

Director Lin, you must know that our film scheduling rate has not dropped by a few points, it is still 28.5% and 20.1%! "

Yue Jun's last words were particularly harsh. Of course Lin Nan understood the deep meaning.

There is something fishy here!

"How long will it take?" Lin Nan stared at Yue Jun and asked.

"Two days, I will take people to find out the reason. No, I want to verify the reason!"

Lin Nan nodded when he heard this.

To be honest, he and Yue Jun both knew the specific reasons behind this happening and this situation.

It's nothing more than that trivial matter, those shady means and purposes.

But the rules of the game are there, and everything has to be based on evidence, right?

"Go, keep a low profile, I'll wait for your news."

"Yeah, I understand.

In addition, I have already informed Lu Dao and Shiyue Culture, so please don’t rush. "

Yue Jun was very considerate, so he didn't want to alert the enemy.

"Two-pronged approach, I will also find someone to ask today."

Lin Nan said pointedly, with an inexplicable confidence...and indifference in his tone.

It wasn't until Yue Jun turned around and left the office that Lin Nan leaned back lazily on the chair and yawned loudly.

He raised his left wrist and glanced, "Tsk, good guy, it's only a quarter past nine in the morning!"

Last night, Director Lin didn’t go to bed until two in the morning. He was sleepy...

"Recently, there have been so many troublesome things. Are there so many people looking for trouble?

Since you won't let me live in peace, then don't live in peace at all! "

Lin Nan closed his eyes and muttered to himself. The circles under his eyes were slightly blue and black, and he needed to catch up on some sleep.

At this moment, the film and television industry is a lively scene.

A large number of actors, entertainers, and celebrities in the industry are cheering and congratulating the new billionaire box office director, who is also a new film director.

Although the online movie reviews are overwhelmingly negative, they are all criticizing the movie as a super bad movie, worse than shit, extremely embarrassing, and insulting the audience’s IQ...

But this does not hinder the fact that the movie is a box office hit and full of gimmicks...even if it has already embarked on a black and red road.

"Dong Chengpeng's directorial debut "Pancake Man" earned 128 million on its first day of release, which has already recovered its cost. The mainland film industry has another great director of commercial films!"

"The chairman of Sohu said bluntly that he will help "Jianbing Man" cross the 1 billion box office mark and help Dapeng become a director in the 1 billion box office club."

…………

Three or four days have passed since the Taoist Association launched an attack on Chen Kaige.

The latter made no apology and the former seemed to be silent.

The reason is that the official personally intervened and made peace.

Otherwise, once the labels of "accepting instructions from foreign forces" and "deliberately provoking and creating religious conflicts" are confirmed, it will be a big deal!

Even a great Palme d'Or director like Chen Kaige, who has a profound background, will at least lose some skin in the end, and even implicate the relevant departments.

The film and television industry still avoids this matter, but many people talk about it privately.

After all, this is a rare "big trouble" that can make Director Chen feel like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and worried.

It's around ten o'clock in the morning, light.

After Wang Changtian hung up the phone, he immediately called his secretary in.

"Director Wang?"

"Let people from the distribution department 'find out' the distribution status of "Pancake Man" and "Monster Hunt" in as much detail as possible through our distribution channels, and report to me as soon as possible."

"Director Wang, which aspect are you referring to?"

"Are there any shady methods, illegal operations...all hidden rules!"

"Okay, Director Wang, I'll go right away."

After the secretary went to the door and disappeared from sight, Wang Changtian couldn't help pinching his eyebrows and still muttering:

"You really found something for me to do. But from the looks of it, something is really wrong, something is wrong!"

…

There is no doubt that from today on, within the next month, the man of the hour in the film industry will be Dong Chengpeng of Sohu.

This is by far the most dynamic new film director across industries in the industry!

His starting point is higher than many senior directors, but it is only in the "commercial film" field.

After Lin Nan browsed the film and television entertainment information on the Internet for a while, he picked up the phone again.

"Who are you calling again?"

Liu Yifei asked Lin Nan while flipping through the scripts sent by other companies outside.

"Wanda."

As he spoke, the phone call was dialed.

Half a minute later, the call was connected, and Ye Ning's voice sounded: "Director Lin?"

"Mr. Ye, I have something to do with you."

Hearing Lin Nan's serious tone, Ye Ning on the other end of the phone seemed to quickly change places after saying "Wait a moment"?

The sound of a door closing was heard, "Director Lin, it's time to talk."

"The box office drops of "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Xiu Chun Dao 2" were a bit too abrupt and unreasonable.

Wanda is the largest theater chain in China. I would like you to help me take a look. Are there any problems in it? From other theaters. "

Lin Nan said it tactfully on the surface, but in fact it was also very direct;

There were some things that he didn't point out clearly, but Ye Ning could definitely understand them.

Sure enough, there was a pause over there.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look in person. When I turn around, I'll call Director Lin. If there's anything I can learn from it, I'll leave it to Director Lin."

"Thank you."

"Director Lin, what's our relationship? It's obvious to say this, haha..."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan and Ye Ning both looked solemn.

Because from Lin Nan's perspective, what he just said even contained some doubts:

Is there something wrong with Wanda Cinema Line too? Or is there something wrong with the theater below?

This seems a bit "unreasonable"!

But on the other hand, Wanda Pictures and Lin Nan do have a core alliance, so what he said was not rash or offensive.

And as the largest theater chain, Wanda is indeed not difficult to "investigate" its fellow theaters!

As for the reason for Ye Ning's solemn expression, it was because he had been at the helm of the theater chain for many years, and he already knew something about it as soon as he heard about this kind of thing.

Let’s not talk about other theater chains, but Wanda’s theaters cannot rule out the possibility that there are no violations.

Because this kind of thing is not only related to issues such as performance, performance, dividends, etc., but is often linked to issues such as self-interest, kickbacks, bribery, etc., money touches people's hearts.

"The specific operation or operations will only be known after checking. In addition, there are also screening conditions in other cinemas..."

Muttering, Ye Ning picked up the landline phone on the desk. The connections are your own.

…

Alibaba Pictures' "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" has three methods of casting: offline research, interviews with book friends, and online voting.

But it is obvious that the online voting is the most popular among them; even using words such as going to war, mobilizing troops and crowds to describe it is not an exaggeration at all.

As for how to determine the angle in the end, it is the result of merging these three items for reference.

However, from the perspective of the entire network, the results of the online voting are basically destined to be the final results.

Because there are so many people participating!

If Alibaba does not choose an actor selected by online voting as the protagonist, he will really be teasing countless netizens and fans;

For a giant like Ali, the consequences of breaking promises and breaking promises are not small!

"As of today's 4th day, Sissi is still number one, it's true."

"Are you feeling aggrieved because of your ranking as the 'second oldest child in a thousand years'?"

Lin Nan teased Shu Chang while writing Xi Ying into the guest list. The Weibo of the two of them has long been noisy.

Countless fans are teasing, stoking, and calling out Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, hoping that they can be more "careful" and take the initiative to compete and finally take on the drama.

I have to say that Liu Yifei and Shu Chang have too many casual fans! It is definitely the kind that makes actresses in the industry covet her.

"What the hell, that sounds awful."

Before Shu Chang could retort, Liu Yifei punched Lin Nan first.

It's just that the smile on her face doesn't seem to be sympathetic to Shu Chang, but...arrogant!

"Hmph, you two are going too far. I'm kindly helping you, and you're treating me like this?"

Shu Chang put down the pen in his hand and looked at the two people in front of him with "righteous indignation".

"Changchang, but you are really second?! Come to work quickly, or else you won't have food for lunch, haha..."

Lin Nan continued to joke, and Liu Yifei also kept laughing. Not to mention, Shu Chang’s eyes are quite sharp!

"But having said that, they really went too far."

Miss Liu changed the topic and immediately attracted the attention of Lin Nan and Shu Chang.

"Indeed, for the sake of a role, I dare to spread any rumors."

Lin Nan did not answer the call. He had nothing to say about the mutual attacks and slanders between female artists. Those methods and drafts are too dirty.

"Speaking of which, if one of us really wins, Alibaba Pictures will probably pay close attention to thatched cottage, right?"

Shu Chang has a big head and a lot of ideas.

"Then let's wait until you win."

Liu Yifei took the pen and tapped Shu Chang's forehead, and the fierce battle began.

…………

On the Internet, the popularity of "Monster Hunt" and "Pancake Man" continues to surge.

The latter's box office and reputation are soaring in the opposite direction, and it has clearly embarked on the path of "black and red".

The former is indescribable. Because the film reviews are a bit too "uniform", the publicity funds are definitely burning fiercely!

…

Just like Lin Nan told him, Yue Jun gathered people in the company, even hired people, and started low-key "research" in several first-tier cities at the same time... from morning to night, and even to theaters in the early morning!
