Chapter 1054: "Detective Chinatown" is set!
The news that Earthman Studios will release another movie soon swept the entire Chinese film market.
The various crews that were about to schedule a release date for their movies couldn't help but curse when they heard the news: other people's film crews have been promoting the project since the beginning, and everyone has a rough idea of its scale, size, cast, and when it will be scheduled.
But what about Earthman Studio? It just won't! It kept it secret when the project was launched, kept it secret when filming, and kept it secret after filming. Finally, when the release date was about to be set, it suddenly exploded like a depth charge, causing the entire film industry to tremble! Isn't it infuriating? And you can't ignore it, because every movie produced by Earthman Studio is the box office champion of the period. It is the common enemy of every movie in the same period, and its combat effectiveness is super strong. Whoever really ignores it will be unlucky.
Didn’t you see that those who didn’t take "A Chinese Ghost Story" seriously at the beginning, this sci-fi blockbuster with a so-called 1.5 billion investment, all failed miserably in the hands of Lin Fan, making Lin Fan famous as a box office dark horse?
What’s more, it’s only been a short time since “Titanic” was released. How come you have another movie to be released?
Eh? The movie people reacted: Right, didn't you, Lin Fan, say that your new movie would take at least two years to be finished and released? For this new movie, didn't you even have time to shoot a TV series? How come there is another new movie released so soon?
Are you kidding me? However, soon, these filmmakers received the latest news: the new movie that was about to be released was not shot by Lin Fan, but by Liang Wen. The leading actors were not Lin Fan and Xia Yan, but Li Xiaodong and Zhou Xiang.
There's nothing to be afraid of... what a ghost!
Although Lin Fan did not personally act in the film, he wrote the script himself, and it was also adapted by the suspense film gold medal screenwriter Wen Hongjun. Although director Liang Wen was a director for the first time, Liang Wen was the first assistant director for all of Lin Fan's previous films! If someone really doesn't take the assistant director position seriously and thinks that the director is the biggest contributor to the success of a film, then there is really no need for you to stay in the film industry.
Besides, will the movies not be popular if Lin Fan doesn't star in them? Have you forgotten A Little Thing Called First Love? Have you forgotten Little Shoes? Have you forgotten My Own Swordsman? You say My Own Swordsman is not a movie? That's not important!
In short, there is a central idea. Even if Lin Fan is only credited as a screenwriter in this movie, it cannot be taken lightly!
[Earthling Studio: Xiaodong's first film "Detective Chinatown" is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival. Please support us! ]
Lin Fan also reposted this post on his Weibo account, and tagged Lai Siu-tung to cheer him up: [Lin Fan: Congratulations to Brother Lai Siu-tung for his first film, Detective Chinatown, being released during the Spring Festival. You must perform well. After all, if you don’t perform well, you will be forced to go home and inherit the family property!]
It has never been a secret that if Lai Siu-tung fails in the entertainment industry, he will have to go back and inherit billions of dollars in assets. Not only his fans know this, but many passers-by also know this.
Now that Lin Fan brought it up, everyone gave him more face and played this joke: [Flat chest just to be closer to you: Brother Xiaodong, you should go home and inherit the family business. Leave the box office work to Brother Fan. One is worth three. No, Brother Fan can be worth dozens! ]
[Xia Tian who was chased by a dog: What's the point of inheriting a family fortune? No matter how much you have, you can't make as much as you can from a movie. Brother Xiaodong, we have high hopes for you. If you can surpass the box office of Brother Fan's "Titanic" in one fell swoop, your family fortune will not be enough to fill your teeth! ]
[Brain is out of service: Yes, yes, yes, Brother Xiaodong, overthrow Brother Fan's dominance in the movie box office. We all support you. As the saying goes, the waves behind push the waves ahead. Brother Xiaodong, you beat Brother Fan, the wave ahead, to death on the beach.]
…
Lai Siu-tung read these comments, happy about everyone's support for him, but also speechless about the words and actions of these fans: Are you guys too proud, or is my brother Fan no longer able to hold a knife? And you want to defeat Brother Fan and beat him to death on the beach? If my movie can earn one-tenth of the box office of Brother Fan's "Titanic", I will be so happy that I will laugh in my dreams!
Well, setting the box office target for my own movie at one-tenth of Titanic shouldn't be too excessive, right?
…
"The expected sales of the new album is set at 100 million copies. Isn't that too much?" Yang Hongxia said. "Of course, this refers to the digital album. There is no expected target for the physical album."
The sales of physical albums are very long-term, and short-term calculations are not very meaningful. In addition, the number of physical albums is limited, and Yang Hongxia believes that this batch of physical albums will still be as popular as "Qilixiang".
Moreover, in the music industry today, physical album sales are rarely included in the overall album sales.
Yang Hongxia would not expose it directly, because other singers' physical albums could not be sold at all. Counting them in would not only fail to increase the total sales, but would make people laugh at them.
Lin Fan is different. It is a common practice for his fans to collect a physical album and listen to an electronic album every day.
If the country hadn't severely cracked down on fans' chart-topping behavior, Lin Fan's wealthy female fans would still be able to help boost Lin Fan's sales.
Even though he doesn't need fans to boost sales, Lin Fan's album sales won't be bad.
In a nutshell, Lin Fan's physical album is not included in the total sales, but in fact its sales are definitely not low. Yang Hongxia feels that it is not a problem for the sales of the physical album to achieve a diamond record achievement.
"One hundred million copies!" Lin Fan couldn't believe his ears. "Sister Xia, is the sales volume of this album..."
Is the price a bit too high?
Sister Xia, when did you become so arrogant?
Yang Hongxia glanced at him and said, "Have you forgotten that your first album, 'Seven Miles of Fragrance', sold over 50 million copies on its first day?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lin Fan: ...I really...It's impossible for me to forget!
After all, Lin Fan had the [Photographic Memory] plug-in turned on, especially since this was his own album sales, how could he possibly forget it? He just didn't remember it all at once.
"What I mean is, isn't the goal of 100 million a bit too low?" Lin Fan changed his words abruptly, "How about we be more generous and just set the goal at 200 million?"
Two hundred million!
Yang Hongxia almost couldn't catch her breath: "Brother Fan, let's leave a way out for other singers in the Chinese music scene, okay?"
One hundred million copies is already enough to beat everyone else, there’s no need to set the goal too high!
Moreover, the higher the sales volume, the better. Too dazzling results will instead arouse doubts from those who think that others cannot do it just because they cannot do it themselves.
Besides, this is just an expected goal. Who can say what the final result will be? Lin Fan instantly understood what Yang Hongxia meant: "I understand. Keep a low profile."
