Chapter 30 The year is coming to an end
“After taking a break for so long and preparing for several months, I think it’s time.”
Ning Hao is very confident and confident.
"Then I'll let the finance department send you the remaining half, and leave the rest to senior brother."
Lin Nan didn't delay and let the finance department handle it immediately.
Ning Hao left with satisfaction. He wanted to arrange the crew immediately and prepare to start work.
Lin Nan is full of confidence in "Crazy Stone". The producer, producer, and screenwriter are all Lin Nan's names.
When the filming is completed next year, he will also try his best to promote it, and will not let the movie be released quietly as it was originally scheduled to be, relying on word-of-mouth to suddenly emerge in the second half.
Back at school, I heard that the enrollment plan for the 2005 class has been released. The school plans to recruit more than 680 people, including 30 undergraduate students in the acting department and 150 higher vocational students. The animation school actually accounts for 100 students. One hundred and five.
Every year, there are plans to recruit a lot of students, and there will always be a few more people who come in in the end. In recent years, teachers have been thinking that it would be better to have fewer students than too many, but the reality is always not what they want.
If we wait another two years, the number will still be full, and we will have to find ways to increase it.
Registration for the art exam starts on February 16th. It seems that Lin Nan can’t escape from three sides, maybe even two sides.
Lin Nan was honored to be included in the admissions brochure, ranked last as an outstanding current student, and those in front were all from the glorious past, and Zhang Yimou was listed in the directory of directors.
If you take the admissions brochure from the School of Drama, you will find that there are more actors and actresses there.
The vigorous development of the film and television industry is destined. It can be seen from the expansion of enrollment this year that those who are foresight are always insiders.
Many actors enter the industry first and then go to art schools, which is very advantageous. They have resumes during the interview. If they have worked with big names and have masterpieces, or are already famous, then there is almost no big problem in admission.
Lin Nan was included in the brochure and was teased by his classmates for a long time. However, some students actually knew that he would participate in the three judges of the acting department. This was very strange. Shouldn't this be kept secret?
On the 9th, "A World Without Thieves" was released, with a box office of 11 million on the first day, and the media reported it early.
For this reason, Mr. Wang of Huayi was interviewed. What he said was the hardships of the production and the prospects for the box office.
With Feng Xiaogang's appeal and Liu Tianwang's stunts, no one will question whether this film can make money, they will only think about how much.
On the first Sunday, the box office of 11 million indicates that he will definitely break 100 million. Soon, maybe in just one week, another person will be added to the 100 million director club.
As expected, Lin Nan's "Return to Youth" was pulled out for comparison, as if it could easily crush Lin Nan.
On the first day, the box office of "A World Without Thieves" dropped by 20% to 9 million.
At this time, "Kung Fu" also began nationwide publicity, and Hua Yi was under pressure.
The production cost of Lin Nan's "Return to Youth" was 20 million. Everyone has heard about it, but it didn't actually arrive. The box office was more than 110 million, making a huge profit.
The cost of "A World Without Thieves" is 30 million, and the pressure to make profits is much greater. It is impossible to have a large lineup and make such a big splash for such a long time. It is not as profitable as "Return to Youth". Wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
Feng Xiaogang was interviewed. He talked about his guest appearance in "Kung Fu" and when he wanted to ask Zhou Xingchi to return the favor, he was rejected.
The publicity effect is very good, but it does not seem to be of much help to box office growth.
Everyone has doubts about whether the box office of "A World Without Thieves" can exceed that of "Back to Youth", because according to the box office growth of the former, it is very close to that of the latter.
The difference in production cost of 10 million means that the box office of "A World Without Thieves" is 10 million more than that of "Return to Youth", which is considered a loss. What's more, looking at it like this, it may not necessarily be that much more in the end. Lots of box office.
No one doubts that if you break 100 million, you will definitely make money, but you will definitely feel frustrated.
The publicity for "Kung Fu" is overwhelming and it is about to be released, which is another heavy blow to "A World Without Thieves". No one can ignore the existence of Zhou Xingchi.
Lin Nan stayed at school during this period. It was the end of another semester, and the teacher no longer asked for his test scores.
Other students in the directing department are very serious, and some are already preparing for their graduation drama.
Planning the graduation scene a year and a half in advance allowed Lin Nan to see what attitude means.
Many families with average family conditions will tell their children to study hard, and sometimes look down on art students and sports students.
But a family that can really support art and sports students to the end must have good economic conditions.
In addition to the thesis, the graduation project of directing students also needs to direct a film, which can be a short film, which is equivalent to the graduation project of other universities.
Several people asked Lin Nan to help read the scripts, but Lin Nan did not refuse.
"A World Without Thieves" has almost climbed to the 100 million threshold. Huayi has opened up publicity for this, and the third mainland director with a box office of 100 million yuan was born.
Unlike newcomers like Lin Nan, Feng Xiaogang is already an old face. This time he has taken this step and established his status as a great director.
Feng Xiaogang's promotion in status will also make Huayi even more powerful.
At this point, after the box office of "A World Without Thieves" soared for a while, the growth began to become slower and slower.
"Kung Fu" is released.
In terms of quality, "Return to Youth" and "A World Without Thieves" are not as good as "Kung Fu".
It will be released on the same day in the Mainland, Hong Kong Island, Malaysia, and Singapore. It has already visited the Toronto and Tokyo Film Festivals in September and October, and the release times in Southeast Asian countries have also been scheduled. The mainland box office hit 10 million on the first day, and this was still Thursday.
It has been fourteen days since "A World Without Thieves" was released. The box office, which was already struggling to grow, was completely trampled to the ground by "Kung Fu" on this day.
“It’s probably out of the question.” The theater chain has continuously increased the schedule of “Kung Fu”, and “A World Without Thieves” has been fixed at 120 million.
A few days ago there was news about "A World Without Thieves", but in the past few days it has been replaced by "Kung Fu", and the King of Comedy's reputation has once again become more popular.
Lin Nan no longer pays attention to the box office. The fact that "A World Without Thieves" has a box office of four million more than "Return to Youth" is due to the media, Hua Yi will not be happy after seeing it.
Three times no loss, four times small profits, this is "A World Without Thieves".
I haven't contacted Li Yang for a long time, "Brother Li, are you still in Germany? I have a film that I want to take over. I invested it myself and didn't find anyone else. Okay, I'll leave it to Brother Li."
If you want to participate in a film festival, you can sign up according to the normal process, but Li Yang has been working in the German film and television industry all year round and won the Silver Bear, so he definitely knows some people.
Lin Nan definitely received different attention when she signed up herself and when she was recommended.
Li Yang agreed without hesitation to help Lin Nan find someone, jokingly asking him to show him the film.
Ning Hao has already brought the crew to the filming location, and filming will start in the next few days.
There are no big names in the crew, and the launch did not attract media attention.
Lin Nan is thinking about starting a publicity campaign after the filming is almost finished. His name is currently attracting media attention.
Lu Chuan's "Kekexili" failed at the box office, but the film festival was proud.
At the Golden Horse Awards earlier this month, "Kekexili" won the Best Picture Award without any doubt. Lu Chuan on the stage seemed to be holding his breath and gave a long speech.
Lin Nan remembers reading a sentence somewhere: The most honorable thing for Lu Chuan in his life was that he filmed "Kekexili".
This circle is in dire straits. There are not many people who have upright views, even fewer who have always been upright, and there are countless hypocrites and true villains.
Singye’s uncharacteristic visit to promote "Kung Fu" has indeed yielded miraculous results. The early box office growth rate was almost double that of "Return to Youth" and "A World Without Thieves".
At the beginning of the year, Lin Nan was on the set of "Lotus Lantern" and often went to the set of "Sword and Fairy" next door to hang out. At that time, Tangren planned to include Lin Nan in its marketing.
Surprisingly, Lin Nan became a billionaire director with "Return to Youth", which made the people of Tang Dynasty even happier.
Now that "Sword and Fairy" is talking about the first round, the behind-the-scenes clips in my hands are starting to be released, and Lin Nan is among them, and there are many clips.
Those who didn’t know thought he was playing Li Xiaoyao. Cai Yinong called specifically to tell him about it. For Zhao Ling’er’s sake, he didn’t care.
I was chatting with Liu Yifei in the evening. The filming of "The Condor" was very intense, and nine out of ten of the scenes of Little Dragon Girl included fighting scenes.
"I enjoy the filming process very much. Looking at myself on the machine screen, I am very satisfied and enjoy it." Liu Yifei said happily.
She was also very satisfied with Lin Nan's caring attitude, "I will probably finish filming in April next year, and then I will take a break. Then I will go to your company to play. I haven't been there yet."
Looking To the message sent by Liu Yifei, Lin Nan replied: "Okay, but now you should go to rest. Staying up late will make girls age, although they may age slower here."
"Haha .”
I replied with two words in seconds.
Lin Nan smiled and murmured in a low voice, "I don't just want to be best friends..."
When I first entered the freshman year, I saw her. She was still a little one, just like Bai Xiuzhu, very cute.
Lin Nan couldn't help but get closer. She had few friends in her childhood, due to family reasons, and her mother protected her very well.
Slowly, Lin Nan became familiar with her, and found that she had some violent elements under her quiet appearance. She had practiced dancing and martial arts!
In this way, Lin Nan gradually abandoned his original intention. He didn't know how much he could understand the dire straits of this circle, because he seemed to have found that tree, and as for that forest...
After chatting for a few more words, Lin Nan ended it first, just wanting her to rest early.
2004 is really coming to an end, with only three days left.
In view of Lin Nan's current box office performance, many investors are contacting him, and those without contact information actually came directly to the company.
For those who find the company, most of them want to invest in movies, but there are also some who want to take shares.
For those who want to support others, please leave a few contact information appropriately. Those who want to invest in shares will be rejected directly.
Those who can contact Lin Nan by phone are all people in the industry. There are not many people who Lin Nan has proactively given his contact information to, but there are quite a few who have gotten his phone number.
Yinghuang had contact with Jiang Wen, and Lin Nan had heard about it. But taking the initiative to contact Lin Nan made him unexpected that Hong Kong movies were already in decline.
Especially after the real fight in September this year, mainland actors who had been suppressed by Hong Kong and Taiwan artists for a long time began to voice resistance. The Hollywood Screen Actors Guild called the victims, and the scandal spread all over the world.
Continue to ask for votes, recommended tickets, monthly tickets, collections and investments. If you are a wealthy guest, you can give me some rewards. Thank you.
The subsequent plot will gradually become more routine.
Thanks to: 20211014200512743, Wenwen who still wants to lose weight, Reminiscing about 007, and Fuqinhui’s monthly ticket support for singing. Thanks to: Yun Xiao Wu Lei for the 100 coin reward. Thank you: Come here and I will tell you about the monthly pass and 100 coin reward. Thanks!
