Chapter 44: Running for Promotion
The most exciting thing is the film companies and actors and stars. Every channel connected to Hollywood is very popular in the mainland.
At this time, Lin Nan is this channel. Once the profit of "Dead Silence" reaches expectations, this channel will be completely stable and will continue to expand.
"Lin, I received news that before the results of Lionsgate's first movie are released, even if the film companies are optimistic about your script, they will not be able to agree to your requirements, especially because some of the scripts are obviously "A-level production."
Lin Nan guessed that Lionsgate agreed because the investment of these two films was small, the cycle was short, and it was almost impossible to lose money. In addition, he got it for other additional reasons. Two percent share.
"Don't worry, since they are all waiting and watching, let's wait until "Dead Silence" is released in the second half of the year. I am ready to return to China, Tom."
The business of coming here this time has been completed, and the stock account has been opened. Now, Lin Nan has no need to stay any longer.
"Stone" is about to be released, and he has to go back and continue to promote it, Ning Hao is urging him.
"So fast? Well, I will take you to the airport then, and I will help you get your stocks."
The flight at 9 a.m. on the 11th is here. It’s noon on the 12th at the Capital Airport, and it always feels like half of the time has been stolen.
Supergirl promotional posters can occasionally be seen on roadside billboards. This year, Mango Channel has put a lot of effort into promoting it, and I heard that advertising fees have already made a lot of money.
The taxi driver was on the phone while driving. Lin Nan's heart skipped a beat when he heard that his home was going to be demolished...
Taking advantage of the Olympic Games, the house prices are about to start to move. , jump all the way up several times.
Back at the company, everyone saw Lin Nan and excitedly asked if the company would cooperate with Hollywood in the future.
“Yes, my first movie with Lionsgate, they plan to release it in the second half of the year.”
Lin Nan looked at everyone's expectant eyes and replied.
A group of people were chattering excitedly there. For the mainland film and television industry at this time, Hollywood is a truly high-end place and a gold-plated place for mainland actors.
"Director Lin, the film branch from South Korea has arrived. We just completed the connection with China Film Group two days ago." The financial report was made.
"I got it."
"They said that after you come back, you can go to China Film Academy to sit down when you have time." The finance officer thought about it and said something again before leaving Lin Nan's office.
China Film called him. Lin Nan could guess what happened. Mr. Han or China Film was eager for Hollywood movies, eager to participate in investment and production, and eager to go overseas.
But so far, Lin Nan really can't help. Even he is still trying to cross the river by feeling the stones. Whether he can reach the other side smoothly depends on the results of "Dead Silence".
After thinking for a while, Lin Nan made a phone call, "Hey, Mr. Han, it's me. I just arrived at the company. I'll go to the group to see you when I'm free."
Han Sanping's tone was very serious I was very close and praised Lin Nan for working with Lionsgate for a long time, and finally pointed out that if I need funds in the future, I can talk to China Film. As long as I am cooperating with Hollywood movies, China Film can provide as much help as possible, including but not just funds. and connections.
“We still have to wait until the results of the first movie are released before we can decide how much say I can get in the future. There are more rights there than we can realistically do.”
Lin Nan told the truth without any exaggeration.
"Yes, but I believe in your ability. Aren't you so successful at a young age? "Stone" is about to be released. If there is anything missing in terms of promotion, just say, I will definitely help if I can... ..."
"Thank you, Mr. Han, I am about to go find Ning Hao..."
After finishing the call, Lin Nan was about to leave the company.
I called Ning Hao again and made an appointment to meet at the Light. As the producer and producer of "Stone", he had to take advantage of the popularity of signing a contract with "Lions Gate", so he had to promote it well. .
The Rays has strong connections with traditional TV stations. Recently, the United Dolphin Channel is preparing to hold a nationwide host competition, which is scheduled to officially start in August.
This is Lin Nan’s first time riding on the company’s two buses. If he tells it, he might be laughed at by others.
At the entrance of Guangguang, Lin Nan asked someone from the company to drive back. He would not return to the company after that.
Ning Hao arrived a few minutes early. When he saw Lin Nan, he walked up excitedly and said, "You are so powerful. The news in the circle has been full of you in the past two days. You are a good guy who can kill you single-handedly." Los Angeles.”
“Haha, is that an exaggeration?”
"It's not an exaggeration at all, but I'm so envious of me."
Ning Hao is also a shameless person who has no face at all.
"Let's go in quickly. Mr. Wang should have been waiting for a while." Lin Nan said.
The two entered the Light Building talking and laughing.
Guangguang started out as a television broadcasting system and is able to carry out publicity very well to the audience. The shadow of "Stone" also appeared in the programs they cooperated with various TV stations and radio stations.
Guangguang, led by Wang Changtian, not only engages in film investment, production, and promotion, but also TV series production and promotion, variety shows, and artist management. He takes over the promotion of "Stone" very seriously this time.
Referring to the mainland film market in the past few years, only Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang can hold up the box office, but the light of their films cannot be matched.
Lin Nan's sudden rise gave them the opportunity to participate in high-box-office movies. In particular, their investment in "Return to Youth" made them a lot of money.
This time I am responsible for the promotion of "Stone" independently. I only got the opportunity from Lin Nan because of the previous relationship.
Wang Changtian heard that China Film Group once tried to introduce Bona's Fatty Yu to Lin Nan for the purpose of promoting and releasing "The Stone".
In the end, Lin Nanming said that he had already cooperated with Guangguang, so he dealt with it. In fact, at that time, Guangwang had not yet received Lin Nan's promotion and distribution business for "Stone".
The secretary led Ning Hao and Lin Nan through the office area. Many prominent artists looked at the two, as if they wanted to get close.
People are looking at Lin Nan with particular enthusiasm. With the box office, awards and recent cooperation with Lions Gate, Lin Nan is now at the top of the mainland film and television industry, only behind Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. The status gap and the company's rules and regulations finally stopped a group of artists from stepping forward.
Wang Changtian has been very busy recently. The company has a lot of business. This year there will be a host competition to add new people to the company, but he will not neglect the promotion of "Stone" at all. Work, the trend of this movie being a hit is obvious, he just needs to follow the trend, the company will have one more item on its report card, and it will be more competitive in the distribution field in the future.
"Haha, Director Lin, congratulations on making it to Hollywood."
When Wang Changtian saw the two of them, he first congratulated Lin Nan and asked if he needed a day off. After all, he had just come back.
“Work is urgent, let’s focus on publicity first.”
According to Guangguang’s publicity progress, almost all major theaters have posters for “The Stone”, and preliminary interviews have also been done. We have watched a lot. This time, we concentrated on some TV and satellite TV programs. Ordinary viewers watch more TV.
Wang Changtian arranged the itinerary for Lin Nan and Ning Hao, "We will take the creative team with us and run all these programs again, and that's almost it."
The work schedule for the next week is full, and we have to rush from morning to night.
After chatting with Wang Changtian for a while, Lin Nan left.
“Are you still living in the dormitory?”
Ning Hao asked as Lin Nan got into Ning Hao’s car.
“Yes.”
"You don't have to pay for a house, so you still live on campus?"
"The school has a good atmosphere. I originally planned to live there for four years. As for buying a house? I originally thought about buying it, but Then I changed my mind. I’ll wait until I have a girlfriend. Maybe I’ll find a rich woman. She has a big villa, haha.”
Lin Nan laughed loudly.
“It’s a pretty idea.” Ning Hao complained.
Sitting in the car, Lin Nan called the main creators of "The Stone". Logically speaking, it is an actor's obligation to cooperate with publicity, but he still said that he would forget it if he was busy.
None of the main creators said they were busy. Lin Nan called them and said they were busy or not. Being able to promote with a big director was a rare opportunity. This is how connections are made.
"How much box office do you think "Stone" can have?" Ning Hao asked while driving.
“We’ll know next month, are you nervous?”
“I’m a little nervous. This is my first time directing a commercial film, and it’s also a comedy. Although your script is great , but I’m also under a lot of pressure.
If the box office is good, others will say it’s your fault. If the box office is bad, others will say it’s my fault. Can I not be nervous?”
< br>
Ning Hao expressed his inner thoughts.
“Don’t think about whether these are available or not. Just think about the next time another producer asks you to make a movie. Just ask for the right price.”
Ning Hao heard this. , instantly excited, "You mean, the box office will be very good?"
Ning Hao is just not confident, "Incense" made him throw a shadow.
“When you direct a film from beginning to end, you have to ask yourself about the quality.”
Ning Hao was silent for a while, "I think it's great."
"That's it, I'm not nervous about the money I paid. What are you afraid of?" Lin Nan said with a smile.
Putting Lin Nan at the door of the film school, Ning Hao drove back to the studio. The two made an appointment to set off tomorrow morning, and the other main creators would arrive at the TV station on time.
Since the 13th, Lin Nan and the crew have been working on the show non-stop, traveling to and from the airport and TV stations in various cities.
Thanks to the Silver Bear that Lin Nan received in February and the news of her recent collaboration with Lions Gate, the publicity effect of "Stone" is very good.
Although the director is Ning Hao, in the eyes of many viewers, this is Lin Nan's movie.
During the interactive session of the program, Lin Nan even compared his first two commercial films and promised that "Stone" will never be worse than the previous two films.
The focus of the promotion was on several first-tier city satellite TVs. When they were in Shanghai, the group even took the time to sit for a while at Shanghai Film Studio. The main reason was that Mr. Ren wanted to get closer to Lin Nan.
The movie was shot in a mountain city, and the publicity topic was launched based on this, and it was also enthusiastically treated by the local media.
The last stop was back to the capital for the last promotion on Capital TV.
During the seven-day trip, in addition to traveling and recording or live broadcasting in the studio, everyone in the group was exhausted. After finishing the Capital TV promotion, they could finally rest.
Lin Nan slept from the night of the 19th until 12 noon the next day, when the ringing of his cell phone woke him up.
The dormitory alone seemed very quiet, and the cell phone rang suddenly and harshly.
Fumbling for the phone, Lin Nan squinted and saw that it belonged to Liu Yifei.
