Chapter 41: The King of Commercial Movies?
From its release on May 25th to its outgoing release in late July, "The Veteran" has always been a highly-watched object in the mainland film market.
Even after experiencing the strong impact of "Man in Black 3", "Chinatown Veterans" still maintains a steady box office trend, which surprised countless people. Even during the extended screening period, "Painted Skin 2" came in a crazy way, "Veterans" still drew an extremely stable and beautiful box office trend chart.
"Veter" itself is a 2D movie and is not screened in any 3D theater or screen. In China's theater screens, the number of 2D movies screens is much higher than that in 3D!
In addition, the three companies, Light, Huayi and China Film, have joined forces, and the investment in publicity and marketing is greater than that of the two previous works in Chen Lin combined!
Especially in the promotion of traditional media.
Another aspect of this is the word-of-mouth marketing of "Chinatown Veteran" on the Internet.
As we all know, there are many factors that affect the reputation of a film. Audiences and media are the most important aspects, and public relations and publicity can also play a role.
Entering the era of self-media, every film and television company has long had a clear concept, and the reputation of commercial films is triggered by marketing!
Marketing itself is not a derogatory term. It is something that a movie that has been released on a large scale must experience. Moreover, the primary element of word-of-mouth marketing is that the film itself must be of excellent quality and must be recognized and even welcomed by most viewers.
In this regard, "The Veteran" has no problem at all.
From the beginning of release to the end of the release, the rating of "Freeman" on Time Network has always maintained above 8.6 points!
Even Douban's rating is above 7.8 points!
No matter from any perspective, "Veter" has fought a beautiful word-of-mouth marketing battle, which directly brings the super stable box office trend of "Veter".
From the first weekend to August 23, "The Veteran" was finally released for 90 days, and the final box office data of the movie was 207.25 million!
This number, like countless absent air, instantly spread throughout the world's film industry, including Hollywood!
Two billion,725 million! Wang Zhonglei of Huayi sat in the office for ten minutes and was silent. He knew that he would have another reason to be attacked in the future. Perhaps the deepest part of his mind was also a little regretful. If he had accepted Chen Lin, would such success belong to him?
But he would not tell anyone, nor would he admit that this kind of thought would appear at one moment, and would only firmly follow his own path, allowing "1942" to clear away all doubts and criticisms.
Two billion,725 million!
When Wang Changtian saw this number, he was almost awakened by laughter!
His judgment was not wrong, Chen Lin was indeed a talented young director!
Two billion, seven hundred and twenty-five million, Mr. Wang, who was on vacation in the Maldives, suddenly wanted to fly to the capital and have a good talk with the young director, and talk about how to achieve great things together.
Two billion, seven hundred and twenty-five million! The two big guys in Zhongying were almost laughing!
Two billion,725 million! The sound of hard objects falling to the ground sounded in Wang Jinghua's office. The secretary could see an ashtray rolling on the floor through the half-open crack of the door.
Two billion, seven hundred and twenty-five million! Lin Gengxing, who came out of the set of "Die Renjie: The Empire of Heaven", immediately received a movie invitation, and the other party offered him a new pay of 8 million! You should know that Chen Kun is only 5 million now!
Two billion, seven hundred and twenty-five million! The final mainland box office figure of "The Veteran" will affect many people, and will directly change the fate of some people. The most significant thing is Shen Lin himself.
...
Several people from China Film Academy found Chen Lin directly and formally invited him to direct the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series of movies, and offered a huge reward of 200015.
In other words, if Chen Lin unified the series, he would get a basic salary of RMB 20 million, plus a 15% box office share!
This number represents not only the profits of money, but also directly reflects Chen Lin’s current status in the mainland film industry!
The old trickster can't do it either!
His director's pay once reached 20 million, which is already at the top!
However, Chen Lin still politely declined Zhongying's invitation.
His plans for the next three years are already full, and he really has no extra time to shoot new movies.
Not only film companies are interested in him, but also countless professional entertainment and film and television media.
No media will miss any opportunity to attract attention!
A director who is only 24 years old, and has achieved such excellent results, it is difficult to not attract people's attention.
The major mainstream media were like they had made an appointment, and they were crazy about hyping everything about Chen Lin, hoping to praise him to the sky.
"It's hard to imagine that a child of Shen Lin can become the most popular director in the mainland. He is the current director and the future director!"
——"Swoosh News"
"The ultimate personal style, outstanding personal fun, outstanding rhythm control ability, and handy action scenes... No one has been able to do everything Chen Lin does at such an age!"
——"Du Niang News"
"Before Chen Lin was a seriously underrated director, a man born for the big screen. Only the big screen can reflect his charm. Within ten years, he will be the next Cameron!"
——"Bengxun Entertainment Client"
For a moment, Chen Lin felt that he had become the darling of China, but he finally experienced an era of super information explosion!
He knew very well that once his next movie failed, what awaited him would be the criticism of these media! He criticized him for his overwhelming talent.
Take a look at these reports and just entertain yourself, don’t take them too seriously.
The super sales of "The Veteran" also brought another effect. The small courtyard where Chen Lin lived was surrounded by paparazzi!
Although Chen Lin's first two works were very popular, the first step of the actor's credit obviously overshadowed him as the director. The second part, the power of the script was infinitely exaggerated, and finally the third part is here!
These are hot topics that the media is concerned about, and many false reports also follow: confessing to the girl at the age of twelve;
At the age of seventeen, he almost committed suicide because of his confusion in life;
No matter whether these things were done by Chen Lin or not, they can be dug up by the media, which is really a 'mind'!
The harassment of paparazzi and gossip seriously affected Chen Lin's normal life.
What’s even more unpleasant is that they have compiled many false past events between Chen Lin and Yang Mi!
