That year Huayu

From the 3rd to the 6th, four consecutive days of plummeting sales brought the daily box office of "The Founding of an Army" to zero.

On the morning of the 7th, with the entire film industry watching, this tribute film, which had become a big joke in the industry since its premiere, finally made a hasty exit.

"It is learned that the film "The Founding of an Army", produced by China Film Group and dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the founding of the army, was unfortunately withdrawn from theaters this morning, and failed to complete its one-month release period.

The film was released for 10 days and the total box office revenue was 302 million yuan, which was a serious loss compared to the 200 million yuan investment cost; and as the final chapter of the "Founding of a Nation Trilogy", "The Founding of an Army" has in fact been a failure.

"As of yesterday evening, the total box office of the patriotic theme commercial blockbuster "Wolf Warrior 2" officially exceeded 3 billion, reaching 3.006 billion; the film has become the third domestic film to exceed 3 billion box office, and temporarily ranked third on the Chinese film box office list!"

"Exclusively produced by Alibaba Pictures, the film version of Eternal Love has grossed 201 million yuan in four days since its release. Due to word-of-mouth reasons, the box office fell to more than 26 million yuan yesterday, showing a complete avalanche trend."

"This morning, directors Han Jianu and Han Sanping set off for Guizhou with the crew of "Nobody"... Director Lin Nan showed up at the airport to see them off."

…

The current film market can be said to be a stage where "Wolf Warrior 2" is the only one that stands out, and there is no room for other films at all.

In just 10 days, Wu Tian became a hot figure in the industry like a rocket. It is not an exaggeration to even say that "everyone in the world knows him".

At the same time, the question of how much the four producers can get from Wolf Warrior 2 has undoubtedly been discussed by the entire network. Without exception, no one in the industry is not jealous... because the 4 billion box office seems to be a foregone conclusion!

"Alright, alright, stop hanging around in front of me. I'll just give you a belated congratulations. Congratulations on being nominated for the Golden Rooster Best Supporting Actor award.

To be honest, it's not like you haven't been nominated before. Last time, you were nominated for the Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards. There's no need to expect so much.

And don't blame me for discouraging you. In my opinion, you can only get to the nomination stage, and the Golden Rooster will never give you an award." Lin Nan's words directly extinguished the fire in Zhu Yawen's heart.

"Why? For what?"

"Can't you see? This year's Golden Rooster Awards were won by Huayi. In the movie "Lu Yao Zhi Mali", Huayi was only a co-investor, not the main controller. Besides, the subject matter of this movie is not right, and the quality is far behind the other movies."

Following Lin Nan's explanation, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Luo Jin, and Tang Yan all gave Zhu Yawen a look that said "I'm sorry for your condolences."

"He... Damn it." Faced with Director Lin's solemn assurance, Zhu Yawen couldn't refute a single word and could only curse.

"Okay, okay, let's not say these things that will make Lao Zhu unhappy. Let's talk about my happy things. Tangtang."

Luo Jin smiled and shook his head at Tang Yan, who immediately smiled as well and took out a stack of red invitations from his bag.

"This is the invitation style that Luo Jin and I just selected a few days ago. When I came here today, I also wrote a handwritten engagement invitation for each person and each family. Take a look..."

"Is it going to be officially announced to the public?" Lin Nan asked and glanced at the time on the invitation. Only then did he realize that the engagement time seemed to be Tang Yan's birthday?

"That's right. We plan to announce this on the 20th of this month and send out invitations. We only plan to invite a small number of people to the engagement party this time, and then hold it grandly next year."

Luo Jin's facial muscles must have been cramped from laughing. He said next year, that would be the time for the wedding.

"Luo Jin, you're great. You learn very quickly from our Director Lin. Getting engaged on the girl's birthday..." Zhu Yawen couldn't help but teased her, and then received a roll of the eyes from her classmates.

"The people from the restaurant have arrived." Shu Chang's eyes were bright and he suddenly interrupted everyone's laughter.

I saw a van parked outside the gate, and some restaurant employees got out and started moving the incubators.

"Okay, let's get ready for dinner. It's rare for us to get together, so we can drink some red wine today."

Lin Nan greeted with a smile. When he came back from the airport at around 10 am, Zhu Yawen and the others were already there, waiting for the noon gathering.

On the other side, Lin Nan Pictures.

"Director Lin and the others are eating and drinking at home and having a great time. The itinerary planning for Venice is completely left to the two of us!" Yue Jun joked with Jiang Xingrou while discussing work arrangements.

"How about I take my people and set off five days in advance? This time is enough for us to coordinate with the Venice International Film Festival Organizing Committee on exhibition areas and film screenings." Jiang Xingrou suggested.

"Hmm? That's fine." Yue Jun thought about it and nodded in agreement.

…

The two days of the 7th and 8th passed in a flash, and early in the morning of the 9th, the Chinese-language film industry officially welcomed the "new king"!

Wu Wei's "Wolf Warrior 2" topped the Chinese-language film box office chart with a box office of 3.492 billion yuan. "Operation Mekong" and "The Mermaid" dropped to second and third place.

Even the CCTV morning news had a 10-second report on it, and the movie channel even had a special feature in the morning...

…

In the early morning of the 11th, "Wolf Warrior 2" officially broke the 4 billion box office mark, and also brought Chinese-language films into the 4 billion box office era.

On the 11th, "Wolf Warrior 2" barely earned 140 million yuan;

On the 12th, the box office rebounded and rose to 201 million;

On the 13th, it fell below 200 million again, closing at 151 million;

The box office on the 14th officially fell below 100 million, taking in 97 million...

At noon on the 15th, Huayi and Guan Hu's Seven Impressions Pictures officially announced the cast list of "Eight Hundred", and planned to start filming on time in a month.

At the same time, Han Jianuo's "Nobody" also started filming in a remote small city in Guizhou in a low-key manner.

Lin Nan arrived at Guangguang at around 10 noon to visit Wang Changtian, who had been a little restless recently.

"The movie has only been out for 20 days, why do I feel like half a year has passed?"

“Because the box office of Wolf Warrior 2 is so high that every day is like a year! Isn’t that right, Mr. Wang?” Lin Nan praised with a smile.

"It's not just that every day feels like a year! This week, my blood pressure has not dropped at all, and my heart beats very fast every day... Lin Nan, from the looks of it, I'm afraid I can reach 50, right?"

Wang Changtian looked straight at Lin Nan, his eyes a little dazed.

He could hardly believe what was happening outside, and the entire circle had become a mess since the day the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" officially exceeded 4 billion.

"Well, it should reach 5 billion before the 18th. However, this movie will definitely release all its box office potential within this month. Don't expect to have much box office in the month of postponement. One million a day is probably high."

Lin Nan said so. The large amount of patriotic sentiment aroused by the external environment has been concentrated on "Wolf Warrior 2" in this month and converted into box office.

Everyone who can go to the cinema has already gone in, and there are even endless audiences who have watched "Wolf Warrior 2" for the second, third, fourth, and fifth time... That's why "Wolf Warrior 2" can achieve this box office scale.

It can only go so far and will never reach 6 billion because the limitations of market size and the number of moviegoers are there, and they are insurmountable shackles.

"The box office record directly increased from 3.4 billion to over 5 billion, and this result was achieved by Wolf Warrior 2 within a month. It's like a dream. I'm afraid it's impossible to set a new box office record in the short term, right?" Wang Changtian's eyes were wandering, still immersed in that unreal state.

“Unless there is a similar external environment to stimulate, it is absolutely impossible. Retaliatory consumption, blind consumption, hot-blooded consumption... If you want to break through, there must be an emotion that can drive the entire nation and all passers-by, and the degree of the outbreak cannot be inferior to that of "Wolf Warrior 2" this time.” Lin Nan answered Lao Wang's question very objectively.

We have to admit that after what Wolf Warriors 2 did, box office records can no longer be achieved simply by the quality of the film. It requires the best "time" and the support of many external factors!

Film Bureau.

"Youth" appeared on the list of films that had passed the review and was handed over to the next department, waiting for the official website announcement the day after tomorrow.

"After all, this movie was rejected several times by Director Zhang himself. Are you sure I don't need to report to Director Zhang after it passed the review this time?"

"The Bayi Factory has come to say hello. What do you think Director Zhang's attitude will be? Will he go and refute their face in person?" When this rhetorical question was asked, many people were speechless.

Yes, it is either approved or rejected. According to previous practice, if such a unit is involved, it is likely to give face.

"What if? Director Zhang is very resolute right now."

"What if? Then you go?"

"Then forget it. You can't please either side."

…

At Zhang Yimou's studio, the father and daughter also made their itinerary arrangements.

Zhang Mo will take his men to Venice in advance, while Zhang Yimou will arrive before the opening ceremony.

"Dad, we chose Venice for promotion this time, so we may not be able to go to other places next year, right?" Zhang Mo had already guessed Zhang Yimou's thoughts on which international film festival "Shadow" would sign up for.

"Let's go to Venice. I have won two Golden Lion Awards there." Zhang Yimou nodded and responded to his eldest daughter's question.

"Director Zhang, Mr. Dong from Huanxi Media has arrived." At this time, an assistant knocked on the door and came in to report.

"Go and ask him to come over." Zhang Yimou looked at Zhang Mo.

"good."

Soon, Dong Ping followed Zhang Mo to the office.

Now the whole circle has guessed the relationship between Zhang Yimou and Huanxi, so Dong Ping is ready to talk to Zhang Yimou about the cooperation in advance; he can be regarded as taking advantage of LeTV, after all, the contract between Zhang Yimou and LeTV has not officially expired yet.

"You mean I should prepare the plan for the next movie in advance, including the script. Then I can directly establish the project, select the cast, and then start filming?"

"That's right, Director Zhang, that's what I mean. There are still 8 months until your contract expires, and you don't have anything else to do during this period, right? You have nothing to do anyway, so you can prepare for the next film project in advance..."
