"These reputations are probably just duckweed on the water and have no foundation." Lin Han saw clearly that the reason why so many reporters were enthusiastic was simply because he rarely showed up.
Except for the Hollywood superstar who can steal Lin Han's limelight, other filmmakers do not have his influence. This is not something ordinary people can do. Lin Han is only a writer and can reach this level, once again refreshing the crew. Got to know him!
"Our idea is relatively simple, 500 million yuan domestically and 50 million US dollars overseas is about the same. After all, this is a domestic science fiction movie, so the prediction should be conservative, but not too exaggerated to avoid disappointment."
Domestic reporters know that most of their colleagues in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea are the type who have their eyes set on the top, but now this group of people's attitude towards Lin Han has shocked everyone. Are these still Hollywood reporters
People who have been in China for a long time are not interested in the tens of millions of copies of Lin Han's novels sold around the world. They always feel that this is just a number. It is hard to imagine that so many books will exceed Mount Everest!
Some film producers have taken a fancy to the copyright of Lin Han's science fiction novels, and some distributors have taken a fancy to the commercial potential of "The Martian" movie. Although it has not yet started screening, everyone has enough confidence in the Venice Film Festival jury to Being shortlisted for the main competition is definitely not too bad.
"Lin Han is just a book writer. How did he get such high influence? This is the Venice Film Festival, not a literary award ceremony. Journalists are putting the cart before the horse!"
"I seem to feel proud from the video. Teacher Lin really did not disappoint. Who else can compare to him? Only those who write novels to this point are the winners in life."
The waiting reporters had been waiting at the airport for a long time. As soon as the crew of "The Martian" showed up, they surrounded Lin Han and wanted to interview him in various languages!
This was obviously a video recorded by a reporter. So many people were squeezing towards Lin Han like zombies, and calling his name in various languages and intonations. This is not a treatment that ordinary people can enjoy.
"So many people are shouting Teacher Lin's name, and there are still people nearby who look confused. They probably don't know who Lin Han is."
In the past, Hollywood science fiction films conquered the domestic box office market. Now it is still unknown whether domestically produced movies can be profitable!
"Kneel down, this is definitely the treatment of an international superstar. How can our teacher Lin, He De, afford it!"
At this time, there was news on the Internet that Lin Han and his entourage had arrived at Venice Airport. The editor of Sina Entertainment posted a Weibo at the right time: "The crew of "The Martian" has arrived in Venice, and the film's main creator has been sought after by reporters. Let you meet See how popular Teacher Lin is overseas!”
Lin Han is not a genius. He only knows English and Chinese. So many reporters rushed up to him, and it was impossible to hear what was being said. Fortunately, the staff came over quickly to rescue him, otherwise he really would not know what to answer. That's good.
When it came to this topic, Lin Han couldn't help but become interested. He asked: "How do you estimate the box office of the movie? Do you have any psychological expectations?"
…
Venice was beautiful in late August and early September. After walking through the sea of flash lights, Lin Han could finally take off his sunglasses.
Even the famous domestic box office prediction agency was shocked. Originally, their global box office prediction for "The Martian" was only US$150 million. However, Lin Han's popularity and appeal were obviously beyond imagination, so combined with Lin Han's promotion Thanks to the popularity on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, as well as the video viewing and discussion of "The Martian", I finally resolutely revised the prediction to 250 million US dollars, a direct increase of 100 million!
However, Chen Jiaxuan and Li Li are both patient. Even if they are very happy, they still have to wait until the movie is screened. Then the price will definitely be higher!
A lot of comments quickly appeared under this video on Weibo, and everyone was surprised why Lin Han had such a strong influence!
"I almost thought it was a shill hired by Lin Han, but then I thought it was unnecessary. I also saw a lot of reporters from major media. The BBC one is quite conspicuous, but I don't know what media the other logos are."
Zheng Shuping also expressed emotion, "Yes, almost all the Chinese-language films that participate in the competition every year do not make much splash. Even if they win the award in the end, the media does not report much. I hope more people will know about "The Martian" this time. , it will be better if it is screened overseas at that time.”
On the way to the hotel where the crew was staying, Chen Jiaxuan said to Lin Han on the side: "I can't tell, your reputation overseas is getting higher and higher. I feel you are more popular than JK Rowling."
Originally, Lin Han's popularity was very high overseas, and foreigners were impressed by his endless works one after another. Reporters from Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, from Turkey, Australia, and Africa were all here, not to mention mainland China. Within the Chinese speaking circle.
"Please support "The Martian" and see you there during the Lunar New Year!"
"You guys keep chatting, and I'll give it a try. There are so many foreigners interviewing them, and I might be able to take advantage of them if I use Chinese."
Li Li lamented on the side, "No matter what, at least our crew should be able to get a few good pages."
I had just settled in the hotel, and the phone on this floor was ringing non-stop. There were actually many film producers who wanted to contact Chen Jiaxuan, and Li Li was also extremely busy!
"I'm kidding, do you think Mr. Lin's overseas sales of tens of millions of copies are just a lie? His sales are not filled with water, and most of them are not false like some so-called writers!"
"It seems that Lin Han's popularity is really high. Xu Jiayan didn't even have many reporters to interview him."
The reporter from Tencent Entertainment took the microphone and said to people familiar with him in stunned silence: "Is Lin Han really that famous abroad?"
If "The Martian" can gain success at the Venice Film Festival, then with the spread of the global media, it is estimated that the box office will reach a higher level.
Netizens have always felt Lin Han's overseas influence through words, such as what awards he has won, which novel is leading the global sales list, or how many copyrights he has sold.
This topic suddenly silenced several people in the car. No one can guarantee that it will be a box office hit. Lin Han himself didn't know it before it was released.
There is nothing more intuitive than this video. Even the extremely reserved foreign reporters went crazy for Lin Han. Perhaps everyone underestimated the influence of the name Lin Han!
