Chapter 104 Heaven Did Not Give Birth to Me, Lin Yicheng

After Lin Yicheng broke the record of "Titanic", defeated Cameron and ascended the throne.

The media, netizens, and audiences ushered in a new round of carnival, the climax.

"Lin Yicheng's "Red River" swept away the haze that has weighed on domestic films for nearly a decade!"

"A true pride of the post-80s generation, Lin Yicheng brings glory to the country!"

"Unprecedented and unrivaled, Lin Yicheng becomes the youngest box office record holder!"

"There is no rival in China, Lin Yicheng may enter Hollywood?"

"There are no rivals in front of me, and no one behind me. Lin Yicheng's journey is to the sea of ​​stars!"

These are nothing. NetEase News’s operation is really cool.

"Shocking! At 22 years and 26 days old, the youngest king in history ascends the throne!"

This is just the title. The key point is that there is a comic-style illustration in the article.

The character representing Lin Yicheng's image, wearing a crown, holding a scepter, with a sword still dripping with blood across his knees, sits on the throne, looking down at all living beings.

And on the stairs below the throne, there was a corpse lying on each step.

There are a total of six figures drawn from bottom to top.

If you are familiar with the film industry, you can recognize it at a glance.

The six bodies from bottom to top are Xu Ke, Feng Kuzi, Zhou Xingchi, director Kai Ge, Lao Mouzi and the truck driver.

Although the drawing doesn't look like the original, it can be recognized at a glance, and he is not afraid of you suing him for infringement or defamation.

……

Not to mention the netizens, especially those born in the 80s, who were as happy, complacent, and carried away by their success as if they had won a great victory under the leadership of Lin Yicheng...

Lin Yicheng successfully reached the top. What does this show? It shows that the current era is the era of us, the post-80s generation! The future world will belong to us, the post-80s generation.

Those older generations who used to mock them, look down on them, and even oppress and bully them will become the old waves and will be beaten to death on the beach by them, the new waves!

These remarks are still good.

Some radicals even publicly called on the Olympic Committee on the Internet to replace the chief director of the opening ceremony!
Replace Zhang Yimou's prodigal subordinate and let Lin Yicheng direct!

Even if we can't get Zhang Yimou to direct the film, at least we have to let Lin Yicheng direct it with him!

One is responsible for scene arrangement, and the other is responsible for content planning. Perfect!

Regarding this, Lin Yicheng said nothing.

Not to mention that the chief director has already been decided, Zhang Yimou has made all the preparations and has entered the rehearsal stage.

Even if these were not the case, it would not be Lin Yicheng's turn.

There is no other reason, just one thing: youth!

A man without a beard on his lips cannot do things well. This is not just talk.

……

Just like some physiological phenomena, after climax, there is always sage time.

After the box office of "Man Jiang Hong" surpassed that of "Titanic", it closed at 1 million on January 2.

On January 1, it fell directly below 3 million and became 2000 million.

In the following days, they were 1645 million, 1552 million, 1324 million, 1217 million, 1019 million...

There are many reasons for this.

The current domestic economy is far from what it will be in a decade or so. The money spent on buying a ticket will make ordinary people feel painful for a long time, not to mention buying a ticket twice or three times.

After the passion, many people's wallets are empty.

Also, as of the end of 2006, there were 1325 cinemas in China and 3098 screens, which is exactly one-tenth of the number in 2020.

Many fourth- and fifth-tier cities don’t have any decent cinemas or even no cinemas at all. Apart from fanatical fans, which audience is willing to travel dozens or even hundreds of kilometers to watch a movie?
When "Shaolin Temple" was released, people traveled long distances over mountains and rivers to watch a movie. This miracle only happened once in Chinese film and television.

On January 1, when Lin Yicheng and his crew members returned to Beijing, the box office of "Man Jiang Hong" on the 10th had already been counted, which was 9 million, directly falling below 804 million.

But Lin Yicheng no longer cares, or he has no time to care.

After returning home, Lin Yicheng didn't want to think about anything but to have a good sleep.

The pressure from the daily changes in the box office, the fatigue of the long-distance and overtime road show, the mental stimulation after surpassing the truck driver, and the unshakable exchanges of acting skills with Fan Xiaopang every night...

These days, Lin Yicheng has become increasingly haggard. If it weren't for his training since childhood and his solid foundation, anyone else would have collapsed long ago.

On the contrary, Fan Xiaopang, with the nourishment, is becoming more and more energetic day by day, and he looks radiant and full of energy.

The old saying is so true, there are no exhausted fields, only exhausted oxen.

……

Over the next three days, after saying hello to his close friends, Lin Yicheng simply turned off his phone and stayed at home to have a good rest.

The reason for this is that Lin Yicheng feels that too much is as bad as too little. Now he is no longer in high demand, but he is at the level where he can burn others to death if he goes out.

It would not be a bad idea to keep a low profile and stay out of the spotlight at this time.

Of course, giving your body a break and resting up is also a good idea.

On the 13th, Lin Yicheng came to the company and was sprayed with colorful ribbons as soon as he entered the door.

"Boss, you're awesome!"

"Boss Lin, you are so great!"

"Director Lin, I want to give birth to a baby for you!"

The last sentence is outrageous. Brother, could you please lower your head to identify your gender before saying such things?
No wonder these people are so excited, a new record for domestic film and television, 22 years old!

This means that they are on a big ship, the kind that will basically not sink!
These days, when they walk in the elevator, they all feel particularly confident.

When others knew that they were from Galaxy Film and Television Company, their eyes were filled with envy and jealousy!
"Everyone has worked hard during this period, and they were still working overtime on New Year's Day. In December and January, we will receive double wages. In addition, after the release of "Man Jiang Hong", the company will give everyone bonuses so that everyone can have a prosperous new year."

Lin Yicheng smiled and ordered, saying that everything else was fake and only giving out real gold and silver was real!
"Long live the boss!" Everyone shouted in unison. You see, their voices were more sincere than before.

……

"How is the box office of "Man Jiang Hong" these two days?"

After returning to his office, Lin Yicheng asked about next week's success. He had not paid any attention to it during the three days he was resting at home.

“10号票房714万，11号是634万，昨天12号的还没统计出来，我估计怕是要跌破500万。”周成功答道。

As his second-in-command and a loyal veteran, Lin Yicheng would naturally not treat him unfairly.

Zhou Chenggong is currently the director of the film department of Xinghe Film and Television Company. He is at the same level as Liu Mingjun, but his salary is better.

However, Lao Zhou is well aware of his abilities and never acts on his own when it comes to film projects.

He had only one principle: to firmly obey Lin Yicheng's command and fight wherever Lin Yicheng pointed.

And this is also the reason why Lin Yicheng put him in this position.

"What about other aspects?"

"Because the film was released in Hong Kong and Taiwan 10 days later than in the mainland, the box office in Hong Kong has been over 600 million, and in Taiwan it has been over 900 million."

Lin Yicheng made a rough estimate and found that the box office in the two places would be around 1200 million and 2000 million respectively.

As a purely mainland film, "Man Jiang Hong" does not have any Hong Kong or Taiwan artists involved. This result is already quite good.

"At present, China Film Group is still negotiating with overseas film distributors, and it is estimated that there will be a result in the next two days."

"The copyright of audio-visual products is 1500 million, and the copyright of television and the copyright of the Internet are 200 million each."
