Chapter 25 October

The Hundred Flowers Award Ceremony is over and it’s the Golden Rooster Award’s turn.
If the Hundred Flowers Award is an audience-oriented film award, then the Golden Rooster Award is the most authoritative and professional film award in the domestic film industry.
Ni Ping is the host of the Golden Rooster Awards.
Zhang Yimou, who is famous internationally, seems to be not worth mentioning in the eyes of these committee members.
In the Best Story Award and Best Director Award, "House of Flying Daggers" both lost to "Beautiful City".
Best Actor Liu Ye, "Beauty Grass".
Best Actress Double Yolk Egg, Zhang Ziyi, the heroine of "Jasmine Blooms" and "Beautiful Magic City".
The best supporting actor award also comes from "Beautiful Magic City", and there is no female supporting actor.
"With a box office of 150 million, what do the judges think, so they just give it the Best Art Award?"
Even Zhu Yawen had questions, and the atmosphere was awkward.
"Have you started accepting advertisements? Okay, how much does it cost?"
"I know."
The news just came out that "Return to Youth" is very popular. In contrast, "Kekexili" is really not popular.
Lin Nan crouched and walked away, while Yan Danchen was being interviewed. She is the heroine of "Return to Youth", and this movie is a heroine movie.
Actor Huang Xiaoming plays Yang Guo, and Liu Yifei plays Xiao Longnu after Wang Yuyan. The latter is a perfect match for Hong Kong actor Li Ruotong, and it became a hot topic for a while.
"Senior, be more reserved, I heard your laughter next door."
On National Day, "Return to Youth" and "Kekexili" were released at the same time, and other movies followed. The first two were promoted the most, and "New Police Story" has been released for a week.
No one knocked on the door in the morning, and Lin Nan was still a little uncomfortable.
"Feng directed Golden Rooster with a black face throughout."
On the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, the box office of "Return to Youth" reached more than 57 million.
On the 30th, everyone stopped promoting it. Lin Nan asked everyone to go their own way. It is not a few years from now when we have to run around the country to promote the movie for the sake of box office results. The more it is released, the more we have to run.
Lin Nan whispered and ran backstage.
Lin Nan looked forward and answered Zhu Yawen while applauding.
"Kekexili" had a box office of more than 2 million in five days, a bottomless pit of losses, but it was well received by both the industry and the audience, but this could not save the box office.
Lin Nan was joking and was scolded.
"The promotion of "Return to Youth" needs to be intensified. It will be more than a week before we go back. We have to get back on our feet. There are many interviews arranged by Guangming. Senior Sister Yan and Shu Chang will also come over to join the promotion and be prepared."
Lin Nan also received the invitation, "Sorry, I have to rush back to class."
"Well, I wish you a great success at the box office. If you still lie to me, I won't let you go. I'll give it up."
"Then who have you decided to sign it to?" Lin Nan asked again.
Every day with his eyes open as a reporter and his eyes closed on the microphone, Lin Nan needs to make up countless stories to satisfy all kinds of questions.
"Yes, commercial films will become mainstream as the economy develops, and eventually film festivals will be forced to pay attention to commercial films, because genres such as literary and artistic films cannot promote the development of the industry, and art also needs money to nourish it."
Although Lin Nan is now a student in the directing department, he is still in the group of the acting department. There are too few people in the directing department and there is no group. Lin Nan usually communicates less with them.
The calls came in one after another, most of them were classmates I knew, and they had all gone to the theater to support Lin Nan.
"Young commercial film director!"
On the entertainment news side, there are photos of the theater taken by reporters.
In the performance department level 02 group, some people are already talking about "Return to Youth".
"Now that you've decided, let's sign it. You have to make a clear distinction between signing it for her or signing it for Hua Yi."
The National Day is over, and the box office has already reached 86 million. Lin Nan knows that starting from the 8th, the box office will be broken, but he is already very satisfied, and hundreds of millions is inevitable.
The film has only been released for four days, and the cost can be said to have been recovered.
Lin Nan said sincerely that his company really didn't think about signing actors anyway. Once they were signed, they would have to spend energy on finding resources and all kinds of things.
"No, no," Lin Nan smiled and put the phone in his pocket.
The 30th was Thursday, and Lin Nan ran to class. The teacher looked at Lin Nan, who was still a little dazed. Shouldn't he be watching movies at this time?
"What are you laughing at, Director Lin? You are so happy?"
Lin Nan rejected China Film's suggestion to hold a premiere. The investment was only so small, so holding a premiere was not cost-effective.
There is a seven-day long holiday and a release period of nearly one month.
His friends are mainly students from two schools.
Text messages kept ringing, reminding me of missed calls in the early morning.
"As a writer and director, he is extremely talented..."
Lin Nan has always believed that a college career would not be complete without living in a college dormitory for a few years.
The crew of "House of Flying Daggers" was a little downcast, but Director Zhang symbolically applauded the winners, while the "Cell Phone" team was completely wiped out.
Zhu Yawen nodded, "In the past few days of the film festival, I took the time to meet Wang Jinghua from Huayi."
Lin Nan was shocked by Zhu Yawen's words. He had never heard of it.
Guangguang has abundant resources in this area, and Wang Changtian started in this area.
Huayi's publicity is not inferior to Lin Nan's. Due to the nature of the film, it has received support from a lot of official media. Lin Nan has no complaints about this. This film deserves this.
"It's okay. You can rest after today. Let's check the results on National Day."
Including Lin Nan, there are four producers of "Return to Youth", and the promotion efforts have been very strong. As for the results, it is left to the audience and God's will.
Zhu Yawen didn't carry anyone on her back in those days, so Lin Nan could guess it.
Media reports about Lin Nan began to increase significantly.
Nine million, on the first day, we treated it as ten million. Then can we look forward to 100 million?
"The crew is about to start filming, so don't forget to visit the crew."
This is inevitable. There was no "Return to Youth" at that time, and in the end, "Kekexili" only received about 6 million at the box office.
Get dressed, wash your face, brush your teeth, and finally turn on your phone solemnly.
Since the 11th, the box office of "Return to Youth" has been hovering around two million, and it did not drop below one million until the 18th.
"We'll do it, we'll do it, just let me know when the time comes. How can I be unhappy?"
"Well, it's just random thoughts. You know, people sometimes like to think about things when they can't sleep. Just like this, they have an idea. Who doesn't want to regain their youth?"
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Lin Nan turned off his mobile phone. He wanted to have a good sleep and listen to the box office results tomorrow, otherwise he would suffer from insomnia in the second half of the night.
It stands to reason that he didn't know when the first day's box office would be released, so he called at four o'clock in the afternoon to talk about it. His attitude was obvious and he meant to be close.
At present, the main rival of "Back to Youth" is "New Police Story" which will be released on September 24.

Lin Nan was alone in the dormitory, and the two of them had only lived together for two months during their freshman year.
The news on the portal website is direct, and the opening chapter is:
“The high-box office commercial film failed Golden Rooster!”
"One hundred million, one hundred million, you must go up..."
"The Condor", which Zhang Dabeard has been marketing for half a year, is finally about to start filming.
"Thank you Miss Long for taking the time to contribute to the box office of my movie..."
"Sister Yan is so beautiful!"
China Film, Shanghai Film and Television's phone numbers were both front and back, and Lin Nan listened to it three times at the box office on the first day.
On the 21st, Lin Nan returned to school, said hello and left again.
"I can't forget it. How about I visit your class at the end of October?"
The penguin is flashing and the phone is vibrating.
"I wish you a long journey."
On the train back to Beijing, there were only Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen. The two women were flying.
"Why do you have such a weird voice? Are you in class? Shouldn't you be doing publicity?"
After the fifth day, the box office reached 70 million. At this time, "New Police Story" was already beyond its capabilities and was still trying to grow to 30 million.
Lin Nan has told Zhu Yawen several times about this.
"Hey, Mr. Wang, I haven't received it yet. It will be at least until the early morning. Please wait."
"How you came up with such a plot is really fascinating."
He is lazy and doesn't want the pressure of taking care of people.
Lin Nan reminded Zhu Yawen not to miss the main business because of signing the contract.
"After I go back, I will sign a contract with the company. The last advertisement was a contract that I asked the teacher to help me read."
"If you look at the list of judges, they are all 'artists' from the film studio era. If you calculate the average age, commercial films are deviant in their eyes..."
He is sitting in front of the computer, with a penguin on his back, and his mobile phone beside him. On the screen is a portal website with all kinds of news.
On the other side, there is also vigorous publicity, and the focus of "Kekexili" is on human nature, law, and life.
After the awards night, the officials wanted to retain people to hold art seminars and analyze industry development, but almost all private film companies left, and the big directors also used the excuse that they were busy. Only those directors with names from various units were retained.
With.
Well, Zhu Yawen seems to have returned home. At the end of September, he signed a contract with Wang Jinghua.
Lin Nan was lying on the bed, giggling and tossing and turning.
Yan Danchen ended the interview and saw Lin Nan's smile as soon as he arrived backstage.
Mr. Wang from Guangguang called and was very polite.

Lin Nan didn't look at her phone and chose to reply to Penguin. Each one was full of nice auspicious words and blessings.
As soon as I pressed the computer start button, the phone call came in.
The bosses of private film companies are not very smiling. If they want to make money, they have to make commercial films, but the Golden Rooster Awards obviously favor literary films.
"Director Lin, how did you come up with the idea of ​​writing this script in the first place?"
China Film Group brought Koreans to Lin Nan, "Exporting is definitely a good thing, and I absolutely support it, but the copyright fee may need to be discussed carefully."
Yan Danchen called, and you could hear her smiling happily. All her former classmates had become famous. This time it was her turn, and she was the heroine of the movie.
The box office on the 8th was really discounted by 30%, 4 million, more than 3 million on the 9th, 3 million on the 10th...
"Lin Nan, the box office yesterday was 9.23 million, this movie is going to be a hit, hahaha."
"I was in the studio, so I ran backstage. Senior Danchen was being interviewed." Lin Nan's voice became louder.
"Would there be any problems if we do this?"
With Zhu Yawen, Yan Danchen and Shu Chang, several young people began to meet reporters one by one and enter the studio.
Regarding the issue of export, Lin Nan did not agree to sell it outright, and China Film also agreed that the Korean company would distribute it and eventually divide the accounts.
As for the copyright issue of the movie remake, several producers have to negotiate together. As one of the producers, Lin Nan is also the screenwriter and director, so he occupies the majority.
