That year Huayu

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, when Lin Nan had just left home and rushed to the airport, Sky Hunter released a new promotional video, poster, and slogan...

From the director to the leading actor, without exception, all of them are comparable to "Wolf Warrior 2"; and there is no doubt that this is what is advertised in the official promotional materials of the movie.

The most resounding one is the promotional slogan: "Sky Hunter" - the air force theme version of "Wolf Warrior 2"!

In addition, it can be seen that the intention of the main creative team of "Sky Hunter" is very clear, that is, they have made up their minds to run publicity and roadshows according to this idea before the movie is officially released;

In other words, the more powerful the reputation and box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" are, the more blood bags "Sky Hunter" can absorb, and the more potential audiences it will attract.

"Sky Hunter will be released on September 29 during the National Day holiday, so there are still nearly two months until its release.

Being used to gain popularity and being drained of blood is actually not a big deal. It won’t affect the box office of “Wolf Warrior 2” at all… At most, it will just make us look bad. We are being taken advantage of for free, haha…”

Lin Nan sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, joking with interest. Then he explained seriously: "It's mainly about this matter. It's completely reasonable and there is no way to argue.

"Then I can only laugh it off. There's nothing I can do." Lin Nan spread his hands helplessly.

"Mr. Wang, given the situation, the two movies can only compete on quality and critical reputation." At this point, Wu Yi began to comfort Wang Changtian instead.

However, this sentence made the latter's face look even uglier. Lin Nan guessed that Wang Changtian must have remembered the debts owed by Dapeng. Repaying reputation? It comes with negative reputation!

"Actually, Mr. Wang, you don't have to worry too much. Think about it, is it true that someone like Li Chen can shoot such a large-scale air force theme? You know, the leaders of the Navy have complained about the Air Force many times."

In the end, it was Lin Nan who spoke up, and his argument was well-reasoned and convincing.

However, there is one thing he didn't say, which is that the more "Sky Hunter" takes advantage of the popularity of "Wolf Warrior 2", the more miserable its death will be once it collapses.

Because not only the audience will compare the two movies, the leaders will also compare the quality and the film reviews!

More than half an hour later, Lin Nan and Wu Wei stood up and prepared to leave, and Wang Changtian immediately wanted to see them off.

The three of them were chatting and laughing, and as they walked out, they were discussing the development trend of "Wolf Warrior 2" which was likely to drain the box office; but as soon as they left the office, they were interrupted by the noise from the office area outside.

"What are you all doing gathering there, it's so noisy?" Wang Changtian's face immediately turned sour. These employees embarrassed him.

"Director Wang, Director Lin, Director Wu, we didn't do anything. We were just busy with work."

"Guess whether I believe it or not?" Xie Nan is the top star of Guangguang, so Wu Tian is naturally familiar with most of the people and can make jokes with her casually.

"We are really working. We have a media business. Look, the big news just came out. It's really explosive!"

"Yeah, it's really exciting. Very exciting."

"Who would have thought that a 1.4 meter tall person could be a top? Hahahaha..."

A group of people were chattering and laughing non-stop. It took Lin Nan and the other two a while to hear clearly. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. It was indeed a very disgusting piece of news!

Outside, half an hour ago, a long Weibo post titled "About Someone, To Everyone" went viral on the Internet. In just half an hour, it spread all over the Internet.

The author was once a contracted author under that "big man" company, and the content of the long article on Weibo is even more "flavorful":

Complain about the boss's long-term abuse of his employees... and the "relationship" between the boss and some male artists who starred in his novels, films and TV shows...

There is no doubt that the popularity of the "Air Force version of "Wolf Warrior 2"" was strongly suppressed by a big "savory" gossip.

Entertainment headlines across the entire network were also born at a rapid pace... Countless netizens began to dig deep and carefully, looking for clues from the past... Wow, when they looked back and verified, there were really a lot of them!

…

Starting from the afternoon, the online verbal battles officially began and were in full swing.

The one who was a little short filed a lawsuit directly, accusing him of fabricating facts, damaging his reputation, and defamation;

The former employees began to leak more explosive content in detail, involving many male artists in the entertainment industry.

China Film Group, Chairman’s Office.

Since returning from the bureau at noon on the 23rd, La Peikang has been keeping a low profile and has not shown up. Rather than being low-key, it is better to say that he is hiding from the limelight.

The reason was not that the leaders were dissatisfied and angry with "The Founding of an Army", because the two sides were not from the same system, and he was merely criticized.

The real reason why he "hid from the limelight" was Ye Daying's "petition". The weight of that "open letter" was too heavy, it almost killed him, and it could even be said that it had caused serious injuries to him.

"Boss La, the Film Bureau just released a document saying that Wolf Warrior 2 has received a one-month extension. But it's only the sixth day since its release. Isn't that a bit too obvious?"

"I can actively give you the extension key, so why do you care about that? No one in the film industry dares to object. There are cheers all over the Internet, right?"

La Peikang asked back tiredly. He had guessed this result as early as the Shanghai International Film Festival. Director Zhang met with the four producers of Wolf Warriors 2 separately.

"Yes, Wolf Warrior 2 is going to swallow up the market, and no one dares to say a bad word about it. Cinemas are going crazy, increasing the number of screenings like crazy, and other movies have almost no room to survive."

At this point, the secretary paused and reported hesitantly, "Boss La, the vice president in charge of the theater business has cut the screening schedule for The Founding of an Army and replaced it with Wolf Warriors 2..."

Before he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the office had already become dead silent, and La Peikang's expression was frighteningly cold.

"Mr. La, we have to change it. The cinema chain business is responsible for its own profits and losses, and the group is under a lot of pressure." The secretary explained reluctantly.

"I understand." In the end, La Peikang nodded helplessly; the aura on his body also disappeared completely in an instant, and he completely admitted defeat.

"Where is Liu Weiqiang?" He suddenly asked again in a stern voice.

"I have already... I have returned to Hong Kong Island. I left the day before the movie was released, and until today, I have not come to the mainland again."

"Oh, he's exactly the same as Wu Yusen in The Crossing. When something goes wrong, he runs back and hides, and comes back when things calm down?"

The secretary did not answer, because all the Hong Kong directors who had cheated China Film Corporation were indeed of the same character, exactly the same!

"All the major blockbusters from last year to this year have all failed... No, there is also "Sky Hunter"!" Muttering to this point, La Peikang immediately looked at the secretary and ordered:

"Go and communicate with Li Chen's team. There are still nearly two months left. Ask them to focus on promotion... China Film Group will provide all the help it can... and this blockbuster..."

…

After a night till the morning of the 2nd, those "chilling" gossip news were still dominating the headlines on the Internet.

If it weren't for taking a look at the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2", Lin Nan would never open Weibo, because he would inevitably see those uncomfortable news.

In 6 days, it earned 1.6 billion yuan at the box office, and the daily box office share was over 80%. In recent days, the daily box office growth has been over 250 million and close to 300 million, and the momentum has not slowed down at all...

"Wolf Warrior 2" is indeed draining the box office, shocking the entire industry.

As for Wu Tian, ​​it is no exaggeration to say that in the six days since the movie was released, he has officially been "deified" and has become one of the top commercial film directors in the country.

Since the beginning of the millennium, when "Hero" officially opened the door to the era of domestic commercial blockbusters, 15 years have passed. Wu Tian is the first big director who has "risen on the spot" without any sedimentation.

This experience can be described as "legendary".

Although most people in the industry think that Wu Tian is lucky to be in the right place, who can deny that Wu Tian's luck is not "fate"? Others, just have this fate!

Lin Nan glanced at the time. It was almost 11 o'clock in the morning and it was time to get off work.

Since Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli were already in Shunyi, he could just go there directly. A new batch of furniture was delivered today, and I think after the arrangement, the atmosphere of the home there will be even more intense.

"Director Lin, don't be in a hurry to leave early. Noon Sunshine has sent over the cast list for "Knowing Your Destiny". Would you like to take a look first?" Yue Jun blocked Lin Nan at an inopportune moment with a joking smile on his face.

"Is Zhu Yawen not letting you down?"

As he took the list, Lin Nan couldn't help but ask. Yue Jun didn't need to answer, because he saw the guy's name the next second, "He's still a bit reliable."

"To be honest, Noon Sunshine's casting has always been very professional. Now that the artist management business has been eliminated, the casting is even more perfect." Yue Jun pointed at Gao Lu, Liu Lin and others above.

"Tell Hou Hongliang to follow their start-up plan. Don't bother me with follow-up matters." Lin Nan said the second half of the sentence to Yue Jun. The TV series was too trivial.

"No problem. I saw that you were in the company, Director Lin, and I thought you might as well be free. Haha..." Yue Jun smiled and sent Lin Nan into the elevator.

Looking at the other person's smiling face, Lin Nan couldn't help but shook his head.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, "In the future, if we do theaters... Director Yue, then you should transfer to another position. Director Jiang will take care of this..."

"What?"

Yue Jun didn't hear clearly for a moment, and asked quickly. But unfortunately, the elevator door in front of him had already closed.
