Chapter 48 Results
The cost of "Stone" was revealed as early as during the promotion.
The production cost of eight million, compared to today's box office, is simply a huge profit.
From filming to release, "Stone" took less than half a year and created such huge profits. How many listed companies have not achieved such performance.
For a while, the film and television industry was once again restless.
There are many people who are envious and envious, and the official media has taken this opportunity to encourage the active development of the film and television culture industry, and a large number of private funds have accelerated their influx into this industry.
As for the box office of "Stone", many media interviewed directors or companies who will release new films this year.
Director Chen waved his hand, "When "The Promise" is released at the end of the year, everyone will know what a real blockbuster is."
"I watched "The Stone", and Ning Hao, as a young The director is very good, Lin Nan is the best director and screenwriter of the younger generation, and his script is top-notch."
Zhang Yimou accepted the interview despite his busy schedule.
Most directors are confident in their films.
"Seven Swords" has Xu Ke, "If Love" is the work of Chen Kexin, Zhou Xun and Jin Chengwu, "Myth" is a project controlled by Yinghuang and China Film, with Jackie Chan's blessing, and he is also committed to it.
No matter what the outside world reports, Lin Nan stays low-key at school or work, and pays attention to the box office data from time to time.
On its twelfth day, "Stone" still has a box office of nearly 7 million, surpassing "Return to Youth".
Ning Hao became famous in one battle. Among the leading actors, Huang Bo benefited the most and has received many film offers.
Now the industry is waiting to see the final result of "Stone", and the most talked about is the film's producer, producer and screenwriter, Lin Nan.
How many times an investment of eight million can be earned will be revealed in a few days.
As the publisher, Guangguang has made a lot of money in terms of reputation.
Prior to this, several major film groups were almost involved in the promotion and distribution of domestic movies with a box office of over 100 million.
As a private enterprise, this is the first time that Enlight has fully implemented the promotion and distribution of a high-box office movie, and it is a low-cost hit.
Wang Changtian has been very happy these days and invited Lin Nan several times, but the latter was really unavailable.
From the day the box office of "The Stone" exceeded 100 million, he had no time to spare.
Mr. Ren from SIPG came to the company in person. Lin Nan stayed with him all morning. China Film took notice and joined in the fun.
I also met Xiying from my hometown, but they really didn’t have any resources to use. They could only deepen their relationship, since they are fellow villagers after all.
Hua Yi once again extended an olive branch to Lin Nan and had a strong intention to invest in his next movie, no matter how big the project.
Wanda's theater chain is an ancillary business of commercial real estate, but it is eyeing the cultural industry. The film schedule of "The Stone" this time is obviously high, and when meeting Lin Nan, she also mentioned investment.
Famous big agents, actors, stars, and brokerage companies are about to break through the threshold of Lin Nan's company during this period. Even some companies that focus on TV dramas have also met with Lin Nan.
Lin Nan is not very good at interpersonal communication in business, which has always been Lin Nan's shortcoming, so he is also working very hard these days.
Every employee of the company is more excited than the other. They have met many big names these days. The most important thing is that this year's year-end bonus will be increased again.
Because the company has a small number of people, Lin Nan is also very generous. He has not been stingy when giving out year-end bonuses in the past two years. At the beginning of the year, he sold the copyright of "Into the Dust", plus the currently released "Stone" , the bonus this year will definitely not be small.
"Don't shout at everyone, I'm talking about you. You came in to refill water three times in half an hour. Is Liu Dehua so good-looking?"
Lin Nan scolded a young lady at the front desk, right up to her cheek He gave up after blushing, while others on the side were still cheering, "He's so handsome."
As the box office of "Stone" continued to grow, the Magic City International Film Festival extended an invitation to the crew.
For the film festival originally scheduled for late June, it is actually against the rules to send invitations at this time.
Lin Nan figured it out.
Although the Shanghai International Film Festival was recognized as a Category A film festival by the International Film Producers Association in 1994, in recent years it has really lost face as a Category A film festival and has become somewhat unpopular with its own people.
Not only has development been slow in the past few years, but I have also made a common mistake. I like to give awards to foreign films to improve my own image. Moreover, domestic award-winning films are often unknown, and I feel like they are following the Golden Rooster. Style ran away.
In the past two years, domestic films have developed rapidly, but it is understandable that the prolific Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and others have not been to the Shanghai International Film Festival.
Who would want to be so angry when receiving prizes outside and being discriminated against at home?
Lin Nan doesn’t want to go. He is already the director of Silver Bear. Even if he goes, he will be an award presenter or judge, or he will definitely give me the award. But he seemed to have heard that Jiang Wenli was one of the judges this year.
Seeing that Ning Hao was a little excited, Lin Nan couldn't refuse, "Do you want to go?"
Ning Hao nodded, he really wanted to go. Although this film festival is a bit unreliable, but After all, this is a Category A film festival, what if it can win an award?
"Stone" has achieved a win-win situation in terms of reputation and box office, but he still wants to give it a try.
"If you want to go, just go. I won't go." Lin Nan made his attitude clear.
"What if "The Stone" wins Best Screenplay?"
"If you take it, you can collect it on my behalf, but I guarantee that 90% of the time there will be no chance.
Don't you see who the chairman of the main competition unit and the chairman of the newcomer award unit are?
It's Teacher Wu and Chief Jia! “Drama films are generally movies adapted from real-life events that are not easily noticed by most people. This is even more so in China, which is almost paranoid.
This is also the reason why Lin Nan was praised by the "old-timers" for "Into the Dust".
Ning Hao still wanted to give it a try. There had been too many compliments around him recently. He wanted to give it a try. If he won a prize, it would be the icing on the cake.
Ning Hao said with a smile, "I'd better give it a try. If there's any prize, it's time to broaden your network. They should also want to go."
"Okay, you Contact Huang Bo and the others yourself and give them a reply."
After Ning Hao said this, Lin Nan was speechless.
The real improvement of the Magic City Film Festival should be next year, and the presidium has undergone a drastic change.
Ning Hao went back to contact several leading actors, told them about the film festival, and asked them to keep their schedule.
"The Stone" was still being screened, and the box office was less than one-third of its peak. At this time, good news came back from the Cannes Film Festival.
"Blue and Red" was shortlisted for the main competition unit. Like "Peacock" in Berlin, it was well received by the jury.
Its premiere was also in Cannes.
As usual, there are box office data for "Stone" on the Internet every day, but the news about "Blue and Red" has also caught up.
Lin Nan saw the promotional poster, which was taken at the Cannes Film Festival. It showed the young Gao Yuanyuan, who was already three-thirds of a beautiful girl. She looked very comfortable and beautiful. No wonder so many men liked her.
Lin Nan's company's performance this year has been brilliant. Among the companies in the film and television industry, he is the most eye-catching one, only when it comes to movies.
Huayi has participated in many movies this year. The film and television industry is a high-risk industry, and it is still unknown whether it can make a profit.
Taking into account the endorsement announcements of a large number of actors and stars under its control, Huayi's book performance can firmly enable it to occupy the leading position among private enterprises in the film and television industry.
But comparing Lin Nan's performance in the past six months, the two Mr. Wang felt uncomfortable. Their business was so big and they had so many people. They were so busy that they achieved these results.
On the other hand, Lin Nan just made one movie, sold the rights, invested in another one, and got so much, anyone else would feel psychologically unbalanced.
Looking at the box office of "The Stone" rising day by day, everyone is an insider and can calculate how much money Lin Nan can earn, but he is the only producer.
The number of people interested in Lin Nan's next movie has increased a lot. Everyone has discovered that so far, Lin Nan's most expensive movie is only 20 million, which is "Return to Youth". The cost of other movies is even more. It’s not high, but it’s all earned, quite a bit.
"People who eat alone will have no friends."
An old senior reminded Lin Nan that unity is needed to make a living in this circle.
Lin Nan thought about this problem for a while, and it seemed that the last two movies were indeed a bit glaring.
"Into the Dust" and "Stone" were both independently invested and produced by him. The results were so good that they inspired his peers.
This industry is like this. It’s too bad and no one cares about you. It’s too good that you can’t live alone. There are so many things going wrong.
Soon Lin Nan forgot about this matter.
Since signing the contract with Lionsgate, they have also been paying more attention to Lin Nan’s situation in China. After learning about the box office of "The Stone", they also sent a congratulations and talked about the success of "Dead Silence" As for the shooting situation, everything is going well so far. Wen Tsairen is very involved in the shooting.
Small and big is Lionsgate's specialty. B-category movies have low investment, short cycle, fast release, and can reap box office. This is the style that Lionsgate likes. "The Stone" is this type. The difference is that Lionsgate is more Prefer horror movies.
"When the time comes, your position will also be included in the publicity, and I hope you know it." The people from Lions Gate said this to Lin Nan.
“Of course, I am also an investor and I have an obligation to cooperate.”
Lin Nan is thinking about the next movie, whether to continue with a small cost or make a big one.
It was very exciting to watch Xiao Bo Da. After two movies in a row, he was a little addicted. But which director can refuse a big production? No one.
When it comes to large-scale productions, it is nothing more than science fiction, fantasy, and epic films that require special effects, high investment, long cycles, and require a lot of preparation work and post-production teams.
The director needs to have strong on-site organizational skills, and even needs a supporting director team to assist. The key is whether the current market can support profitability, it is hard to say.
Lin Nan has to think carefully about what genre to choose for his next movie.
From China Film Group, Lin Nan received a piece of data, which is the current number of theaters and screens owned by major domestic theater chains, as well as the expected increase.
"Hero" has an investment of 30 million U.S. dollars, and its profit depends on global box office and copyright. "House of Flying Daggers" also cost more than 30 million U.S. dollars, and its profit still depends on the global market.
Although two or three years have passed, it is still difficult to support a major production with the increase in the number of domestic screens.
“Let’s wait a little longer.”
Looking at the data in front of him, Lin Nan gave up the idea of a big production.
In the past, China Film and Shanghai Film and Television have been perfunctory and talked about making a big production next time. Now it seems that they have to wait for at least another year.
