There was a round of applause in the theater, and Lin Juan, Zhang Shan and the other three stood up to take the curtain call.
"Director Lin is awesome!!!"
A male audience member’s shout resounded throughout the audience, causing a burst of laughter.
Then they also shouted not to be outdone.
"Guan Xiaotong, you are the most beautiful!"
"Zhang Shan is so handsome!"
"Will you are the funniest!!"
There was a burst of laughter in the audience, and the person who called Will couldn't help but laugh. Will spread his hands to the audience with an innocent look on his face.
Of course, he was actually quite happy.
The lights shining on the stage at this time were exactly what he dreamed of.
At this time, the dream comes true.
If Lin Juan knew what he was thinking, he would probably complain silently, just a few spotlights, it was quite sensational...
Finally, the four of them stood on the small temporary stage, facing the audience, and fully accepted the most authentic feedback from the audience at this time.
Question session.
Lin Juan pointed at the fat man who had just called him awesome. He was about 27 or 28 years old. He didn't have any stage fright when he stood up. He took the microphone handed over by the staff and asked with a smile.
: "Director Lin, first of all, thank you for bringing us such a movie."
"This is the best movie I have seen this year. I think it is better than the ones in the Spring Festival. What I want to ask is, is the investment in this movie really only 50 million?"
Lin Juan stood in the middle of the stage, with Zhang Shan and Guan Xiaotong on both sides of him, looking like a big boss.
He took the microphone and nodded in response: "Well, I also asked the company for 300,000 yuan."
The audience was speechless. How did you do it?
Sensing their doubts and doubts, Lin Juan explained: "This movie was basically produced in a studio. The cast is not large, and there is only one camera crew, which can reduce a lot of expenses."
"Many of the special effects in the movie that you seem to think are done with scenery and filters. The actual special effects shots are only over 300 years old. We did not waste a single special effects shot, nor did we make an extra shot."
After Lin Juan finished speaking, the audience suddenly nodded. Those blockbusters with hundreds of millions of investment often use tens of thousands of special effects shots. In the end, when it comes to editing, at least hundreds of shots will be wasted. But Lin Juan did not waste a single one here.
The ability to control the plot is too strong.
"Oh, then I understand. Director Lin is awesome. I look forward to your next movie." The man gave a thumbs up and sat down.
The next person was a girl: "I want to ask Director Lin, what is your expected box office for this movie?"
"Me?"
"Um."
"Actually, I'm very satisfied with yesterday's box office momentum. As long as it keeps up, I can make another movie." Lin Juan said honestly.
He has a really Buddhist mentality, and just enough money can be used to make movies for him. He is quite satisfied with his current life, and he is not prepared to buy a White House for so much money.
There was a burst of chuckles in the theater, and I had an impression of Lin Juan's character.
This is a very real person who lives a very real life.
Next one.
"I want to ask Zhang Shan..."
Audiences asked questions one after another, and the crew was responsible for answering various on-stage and behind-the-scenes matters. For example, why did Lin Juan choose Zhang Shan and the others?
What do you think is the most interesting thing during filming?
Half an hour later, the movie viewing session ended. Lin Juan and the other two took a group photo with the audience and left the theater first.
As soon as it came out, Guan Xiaotong couldn't wait to take a picture of Zhang Shan and said: "Look at the box office now!"
Zhang Shan was about to talk to Lin Juan, but was stunned by this: "You can't read it yourself!"
"Do you think I have room to put a mobile phone on my body?" Guan Xiaotong opened her arms and said confidently. She was wearing a fringed skirt today, and her pair of slender legs were particularly eye-catching.
There are indeed no pockets.
Zhang Shan touched the area where he was hit on his shoulder, put his other hand into his pocket to touch his cell phone, and at the same time rolled his eyes at Guan Xiaotong and said, "Wait."
While they were waiting for the elevator, the four of them were surrounded by security guards arranged by the theater. Zhang Shan looked at his phone and then raised his head and said to Lin Juan: "Director, the total box office is 200 million, and today's box office is 76 million.
."
Lin Juan nodded, thinking that if he follows this trend, his filming funds should be fine, right?
"Hurry up and post on Weibo!" Guan Xiaotong exclaimed.
Their company is currently closely monitoring the box office of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and will produce new breakthrough posters for them every time it exceeds 100 million. This is a big deal and they will post it on Weibo, which can further stimulate the box office.
Lin Juan thought for a while.
Eh? What’s the password for my Weibo account?
…
There are two ground pushes a day, one session takes about three and a half hours from start to finish, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.
After having a meal, a few people rushed to the next cinema. According to the itinerary, Tianhai and the others would only stay for one day, and then they would set off for a run around the country. The next stop would be Beijing.
And just as they began to kick off the vigorous promotion, the news about "Journey to the Center of the Earth" from the outside world was also increasing day by day.
"The box office of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" exceeded 200 million in a day and a half! It has become the biggest dark horse in February!"
Within a few hours of this news being released, it was refreshed: "Journey to the Center of the Earth is unstoppable! The box office exceeded 300 million in 40 hours!"
"Lin Juan: I want to book the best new director of the year in advance!"
"Financial director Lin Juan teaches you how to make a blockbuster with 50 million!"
"Shocked! A new director actually did this to an actress!"
"..."
Not only the news, but also film reviews appeared one after another. A well-known film critic on Douban wrote: "This movie is the biggest surprise I saw during the Spring Festival."
Someone else reviewed "Journey to the Center of the Earth" from a technical point of view and cost, and finally said: "Director Lin Juan is definitely the strongest new director I have ever seen. His ability to control the plot, lens, and color control are comparable to some
At the same time, he is a master and has the amazing imagination of a young director. His appearance is the biggest blessing for movie fans this year."
Of course, it is inevitable that some netizens will comment below: "A bad movie! The hero is so selfish and cold-blooded!"
Naturally, someone will educate this kind of person. In addition to people who watch movies without thinking, there are also some well-founded negative reviews, which are all logical loopholes in the script, but no one cares about him. Some people say
It's fine, as long as some people don't like it, just don't interfere with each other.
On the Internet, netizens who were excited after watching the movie turned Lin Jian upside down, including an interview that was recorded when "Going Home" was released but did not go viral.
Lin Juan was pushed to the top of the hot search list at the speed of light.
"Financial director: I'm not interested in money."
"But it's really good. I even shed tears. As I grow up, some things really hit me."
"Yes, people are most afraid of not having expectations!"
"Lin Juan's success is the victory of dreams!!"
"..."
On the second day after its release, "Journey to the Center of the Earth" continued to be the single-day box office champion with a box office of 210 million in a single day, and also claimed the weekly box office champion with a box office of 340 million. It was a hit with 33% of the film schedule.
Fifty-two percent of the total single-day box office.
Theaters have begun to urgently expand their film schedules, and it is expected that the film schedule of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" will increase to 42% next week! How will this movie perform by then?
"Journey to the Center of the Earth" and Lin Juan became so popular.
