That year Huayu

Chapter 900 Hidden rules; 126 million!

In the three days of the first weekend, the box office revenue was 123 million.

Although the daily box office on the fourth day was cut in half to 15.92 million, it still cannot be denied:

That is to say, Yang Mi's "I Am a Witness" has become a very profitable low-cost domestic film during the blockbuster period.

It's just that the behavior of overwhelming the press release all over the Internet is indeed a bit excessive.

Especially Yang Mi’s “quotes” in an interview: “I hope everyone can see my sincerity in wanting to be a good actor”;

"My efforts must have been in the wrong direction before. Others can get up immediately when they fall, but I am the type who has to lie down for a while after falling";

"I will use a whip to wake myself up and get rid of my acting skills in bad movies"...

Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh after reading these drafts. You can't have your cake and eat it too, capital and actors, she can only choose one!

When Associate Professor Lin Nan arrived at Nortel, a film seminar on "Old Friends in Mountains and Rivers" was being held on campus.

Compared with "I Am a Witness", the box office of this movie is really terrible; yesterday was the fourth day of release, but the daily revenue was only 1.72 million.

No one may believe it if you tell me. Although the current total box office of "Mountains and Rivers" is only a pitiful 18.8 million;

But this is the highest box office performance that Jia Zhangke, a top director, has achieved since he started making movies. It is embarrassing and pitiful.

"You really are like an old fritter, rushing to class slowly and unhurriedly, right?"

From a distance, more than ten meters away, Lao Jiang complained about Lin Nan.

"This kind of thing can be learned by oneself without a teacher. I am much more on time than when I was a student in school."

"It sounds like how many classes have you taken?

I only entered the classroom occasionally during the first half of my undergraduate studies, but I haven't seen anyone from you for more than two years. At the graduate level, you will be even less visible. "

"Everyone gave me lectures without even doing any practical exercises. Do you think I can understand them? I didn't laugh at them on the spot. I respect teachers."

Lin Nan showed no mercy and said with a smile. Well, he accidentally stabbed Lao Jiang too.

Because the latter is a master of theory, he talks about professional expressions and vocabulary in class, one after another;

But if you really want him to get started, it's all dogmatism and hesitation, which is "waste".

Sure enough, Lao Jiang unscrupulously opened the thermos cup to avoid the embarrassment, and was still cursing: "You can do it, you are a great director, you are right."

"Haha... Okay, Deputy Director Jiang, let's go and see my first class." Lin Nan invited with a smile and offered the steps.

The Nortel campus is very lively today, because many students and teachers know that Lin Nan has an elective class in the morning.

However, Director Lin was also speechless, because he had only opened 30 course selection places, and a small classroom was enough, but the school chose to give him a large terraced classroom.

The intention is very obvious, it is clearly prepared for students who want to take part in class and teachers who join in the fun!

At 10:30 in the morning, when Lin Nan entered the lecture theater from the main entrance, it was exactly as he expected:

The lecture theater is packed with people, and the crowds are all students and a few young teachers. There must be nearly two hundred people, right?

For a moment, the applause was like thunder. It can be seen that many students are a little excited.

But the next moment Lin Nan's waving movement got stuck, and the smile on his face froze for a second.

What are you doing? He saw two sneaky figures in the last row, near the corner of the back door;

Wearing caps, masks, a long hair shawl and a single ponytail - Liu Yifei and Shu Chang!

With those two pairs of eyes, Lin Nan would never admit his mistake!

Lao Jiang, who had just come in through the back door, obviously noticed the two of them and immediately gave Lin Nan a meaningful smile.

Looking at those eyes with thick eyelashes fluttering, Lin Nan smiled slightly and stood on the podium.

"Quiet."

Glancing at the list of students on the multimedia table, Lin Nan felt a little emotional. There were so many little things in the school. Thirty people, more than two-thirds are from the acting academy.

“Let me start by saying that this is an elective course, not a professional course.

Professional courses allow you to make a living in the industry, but my elective courses can allow you to make a clean meal as much as possible, and I hope you choose to make a clean meal. "

Lin Nan's opening remarks immediately made everyone present attentive.

Everyone has some vague speculations in their hearts. Director Lin and Professor Lin are going to talk about the reality in the industry again. This is really good stuff and words of experience!

"Today is the first lesson. I will only talk about one word - unspoken rules!"

The classroom was in an uproar for a moment! Unspoken rules? Can this be said publicly? And it’s taught in school classes?

"Of course, I hope to use a negative teaching material to talk about this thing, and I hope everyone will be vigilant... What are the unspoken rules that we have seen or heard the most? Dinner parties? Drinking with others? Sleeping with each other? These are indeed the most common ones, but It is also the lowest;

The reality is cruel, and so is the film and television industry and the entertainment industry. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a transaction... To use an actor's analogy, your professional skills, that is, acting skills, are your bargaining chips...

When your acting skills can't allow you to straighten your back and eat a full meal, you have to pay some other chips to add to it, or money, or background, or connections, or body...

Of course, there are many self-disciplined resource providers. They will not use hidden rules to manipulate actors, but they will certainly not use this kind of actors who actively "dedicate themselves"; in addition to acting skills, they also value personal relationships and connections, because this is the circle and reality... This is also another advanced industry hidden rule..."

Lin Nan continued to talk, talking about things that have never been said openly in the industry. All the students at the scene listened very seriously and their faces were very serious.

"Xixi, he talked about this, do you know?"

"I don't know, so I asked you to come secretly to surprise him."

Liu Yifei's dark eyes flashed with a reflection. She stared at Lin Nan who was talking on the podium. There was a sweet smile on her face under the mask. So handsome!

"He knows so much. I wonder if he has been "showed good" before? I suggest you knock more when you have nothing to do..." Shu Chang started to "seek death" again.

"Changchang, I will tell Lin Nan about this later. "Liu Yifei didn't even look at her bestie, her eyes curved, looking straight ahead.

"Don't, Xixi. I'm doing this for both of you..."

...

At noon, the news that Lin Nan talked about hidden rules in a class at Beijing Film Academy directly topped the hot search list, attracting the attention of the entire entertainment industry.

Even many netizens on the Internet joked: "It's Director Lin Nan. If it were someone else, this time he would definitely offend a large group of low-class people in the entertainment industry, and he would definitely not have a good future!"

In the restaurant outside Beijing Film Academy, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and Shu Chang were having lunch.

"You left home and went to the company first. I got up as soon as you left and went straight to school. Of course, I arrived earlier than you."

Liu Yifei said with a smile, they had planned it long ago.

"It's this class, it's a bit too much."

"Lunch can't stop you from talking, right? "Lin Nan glared at Shu Chang, this kid is asking for a beating!

"These days, "Detective Chinatown" will also start to promote. I went to the company this morning to deal with this matter."

Then Lin Nan changed his voice and talked about another important matter. The Lunar New Year period must be taken seriously, and it is just right to start promoting two months in advance.

"Huh? But some of Tang Yan and others are still in the crew, do you need to call them out?" Liu Yifei asked.

"No need for the first month, whoever has time can come. But starting from the beginning of next month, even those who are in the crew have to take some time out and at least participate in a few promotional activities."

Lin Nan had just finished speaking when Yue Jun called, "I guess it should be about the patch advertisement for "Mojin: The Lost Tomb."

Under the gaze of Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, Lin Nan answered the phone.

"What's the matter?"

"Director Lin, the contract for the patch advertisement for "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" has been signed this morning. Three advertisements, for three brands of cars, watches, and liquor, with a total amount of 126 million..."

Hearing the last number, Lin Nan's mood instantly improved.

"Finally over 100 million. You can arrange for someone to notify Guangguang, Wanda, Shanghai Film and China Film. When the movie premieres, the revenue can be announced. ”

"Well, I'll notify you this afternoon. There is another thing. The patch ads of "Detective Chinatown" may be repeated with "Mojin: The Lost Legend". I mean it's possible. ”

"Whether it's repeated or not is the brand's business. They are willing to spend money to bid, and we will follow up. "

Lin Nan said bluntly, it was something we both agreed to.

Hang up the phone and continued eating.

…

In the afternoon, the most lively entertainment news on the Internet was contributed by Alibaba and Huayi.

The Double Eleven Gala, which claimed to have invited most of the stars in the entertainment industry to perform, was pinned on the front page headlines of major portals and the top of Weibo hot searches.

Hundreds of actors and stars in the film and television entertainment industry and sports industry forwarded the message in succession to help promote it. Countless netizens across the Internet were discussing it.

The director and producer of this gala were Feng Xiaogang and Huayi. Alibaba once again showed the four words "wealthy and powerful" nakedly.

What Lin Nan found most interesting was that Alibaba sent invitations to him, Wang Changtian, Wang Wei and others.

They had just torn their faces two days ago, but now they invited them to watch the performance. This approach is really intriguing.

Lin Nan guessed that it was very likely that Jack Ma had specifically instructed his subordinates to do it, just to show off his muscles? !

"I am currently working with the theater chain on the box office sharing of "Lost in Hong Kong" and "Charlotte's Troubles". If it's fast, it will be the end of this month, and if it's slow, it will be next month."

When Lin Nan called Wang Changtian, the other party thought he was going to ask about the box office sharing.

"That's not what I'm asking about."

"Alibaba's invitation? We've torn our faces, of course we won't go!"

Lin Nan was also impressed by Wang Changtian.

"I'm asking about "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" and "Detective Chinatown", whether the theater chain has responded. Guangguang is the distributor, so I should have conveyed my words to them, right? "

At this moment, Wang Changtian finally reacted.

"Not yet, probably in a day or two. If you ask me, your "Detective Chinatown" is okay, after all, it is your movie, and most theaters trust it.

But they may not agree to "Mojin: The Lost Tomb". Although it is a top IP, Wu Ershan can't be compared with you!"

Lin Nan also understood what Wang Changtian meant.

"Then wait until the theaters have a reply, but at least "Detective Chinatown" is fine."

"Well, Detective Chinatown will definitely be fine. This is your first commercial film after winning the Oscar for Best Director."
