Chapter 49 Speech
Liu Yifei traveled between school and home during this period. She was at school on Saturdays and Sundays and at home during the week. There were professional teachers on both sides for training, so she seemed very busy.
“It’s rare to see you during the week, why are you so depressed?”
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, who was slightly frowning.
“In recent training, I can’t hit a slightly higher note, or it’s hard to maintain it, so I thought I’d ask the teacher, she’s an associate professor.”
"What should I do? The teacher has no idea, right? Do you think some of the people who are releasing records and albums nowadays are all-rounders and can even sing high notes? Don't you know what your own talents are?"
Watch by Lin Nan Come on, Liu Yifei applies her attitude towards acting to singing, but the high notes really depend on talent.
“But I just want to do a good job, am I wrong?”
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan with her big black eyes. Apparently the latter guessed correctly.
"Yes, it is worth encouraging. But don't affect your mood. Jay Chou is so popular. Even if you ask him to try a professional tenor, he will still fail."
Lin Nan gave an example.
"How can you give an example like this."
Liu Yifei said this, but there was already a smile on her face.
"By the way, Mr. Wang from Huayi recently came to my mother again. They wanted to sign me, and they have approached me before."
"I guess Auntie still didn't give me the right words. ?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.
Liu Yifei nodded, "My mother and godfather planned for me to stop filming TV series and develop my career on the big screen, but Director Feng currently has no roles suitable for me."
"Yes, I heard that I am working on a TV series. There won't be any other news soon. "
"Aren't you very busy? Why do you have time to come to school?"
Liu Yifei thought of something and asked. She sent text messages to Lin Nan in those two days, but Lin Nan never replied. A few days later, she said she was too busy and forgot about it.
“I feel like I should come, and I’ll meet you now.”
Lin Nan didn't care about Liu Yifei's weirdness at all and said with a smile.
"Humph, considering your box office success, I don't have the same experience as you."
......
The two of them walked around the school by the way, and Liu Yifei said to the big brother The screen is full of expectations, and she has even begun to think about making a movie with Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. Lin Nan admires her brain, she really dares to think.
The daily box office of "Stone" gradually dropped, and as Lin Nan expected, it dropped to six figures on the 18th, which also indicated that it was ready to be released.
Lin Nan was very straightforward and decided to release the movie after the 20th, so that he could earn as much as he could and there would be no need to worry about the minutiae.
From the 1st to the 20th, "The Stone" was lucky and picked a good schedule with almost no competitors. The final box office was locked at 154.68 million.
The film was released on Hong Kong Island two days earlier than in the Mainland, for a total of 16 days, with a box office of 11.6 million.
When these two numbers were fixed in the headlines of various media, everyone’s first reaction was almost the same: Lin Nan made a fortune.
Many boring insiders have already calculated Lin Nan’s profit. Lin Nan, who is so stupid, has made about seven times the profit after excluding costs!
"Director Lin, does the company need investment?"
......
On the second day after the movie was released, Lin Nan began to hear this sentence, and even Ning Hao's bad monkey There were many people who wanted to invest in the shares, but he and Xing Aina thought about it over and over again and rejected them all.
Like the Stone Box Office, the Cannes closing ceremony awards show is also in the entertainment news.
Wang Xiaoshuai's "Green Red" was nominated for the Palme d'Or and Best Actor respectively, but in the end it won the Jury Prize, and the Best Actor also went to another company.
What interests Lin Nan is that this male protagonist first came into contact with movies when he was 18 or 19 years old. He was not a professional and won the Best New Actor in Berlin with "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle". His fourth film was directly nominated for the Best Actor at Cannes, although he did not win the Best Actor Award in Berlin. Medium, but already very powerful.
Looking at Wang Xiaoshuai's jury award again, Lin Nan thought of Gu Changwei's "Peacock" and couldn't remember who said: The second place is the biggest loser.
The jury award is not just a foil for the Palme d'Or.
There are many directors in China who have won the Jury Prize, but why is it that only Chen Kaige stood on the altar directly after coming out of Cannes?
Because "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or, the film and the award mutually achieved each other and jointly established his status.
Lin Nan's company will have to keep an eye on the box office division of "The Stone" this time, but they won't delay it deliberately if they want to go to theaters. After all, Lin Nan has also made a lot of money for them, and he will rely on it to win the Silver Bear. "Into the Dust".
According to the urine characteristics above, a wave of seminars is indispensable.
Lin Nan and Ning Hao have both received the notice and will start working together when the crew of "Green Red" comes back.
One has won an award, and the other has just achieved high box office, which is just right.
Of course, there are also directors and producers of other films to be released this year, as well as directors of major theater chains, film companies, etc.
Lin Nan and Gu Changwei didn't hide away when they came back from Berlin, but they didn't expect to come back three months later.
The person who conveyed the notice was Han Sanping, who was also one of the participants.
"This is a good thing. Don't always find it troublesome. Show your face in front of the leaders more often. No matter how many people ask for it, you won't get it."
On the issue of attitude, Han Sanping started preaching and talked to Tian. The director is exactly the same.
“Okay, okay, don’t worry, I promise to actively participate and won’t slack off.”
Lin Nan quickly bowed his head and surrendered.
Not two days later, the seminar began, the bureau started to take action, and the association organized manpower.
When we arrived at the scene, we saw that there were many actors attending the meeting, mainly several big directors, and the crew was more or less followed by several main actors. Outside, Ning Hao and Lin Nan met Wang Xiaoshuai, surrounded by male and female actors.
“Congratulations to Director Wang for winning the Cannes award.”
The two came forward to say hello.
"Thank you, and congratulations to you, "The Stone" is a box office hit."
Wang Xiaoshuai seems to be in a good mood. Although he missed the Palme d'Or, he is satisfied.
"Let me introduce to you, these are the leading actors of "Green Red", Gao Yuanyuan and Li Bin. This is director Lin Nan and director Ning Hao."
Wang Xiaoshuai introduced each party respectively.
"Hello, Director Lin, hello Director Ning."
"Hello, although "Green Red" has not been released in China yet, your Zhou Zhiruo is still fresh in my memory."
Ning Hao Shake hands with Gao Yuanyuan and say by the way.
Lin Nan stood next to Ning Hao and smiled, this guy is quite good at chatting.
“Let’s go in quickly.” Wang Xiaoshuai suggested.
While we were talking, several more cars arrived. They were all members of the association and actors who appeared on the screen from time to time.
As for the leader, he must be the last to arrive.
One-third of the venue is composed of actors, directors, and professionals with formalities, and the rest are private enterprises and filmmakers.
Director Chen's speech was full of private information, and he talked about his "The Promise". From art and magic to large-scale production and market prospects, not to mention, the people who listened were excited.
"Ride Alone, Thousands of Miles" seems to have been filmed. It is not a commercial film.
Zhang Yimou put it tactfully. He believes that what can make the industry flourish rapidly is high-box office movies. Audiences will continue to spend money to buy tickets if they enjoy watching them. Only when theaters and production companies can make money will they continue to invest. , and can also attract more funds to come in.
When it comes to high-box office movies, there is no doubt that some of the veteran directors here have been offended.
Lin Nan suddenly felt that Chen Kaige was quite cunning. He not only brought in private goods but also did not offend others.
The speeches of film companies and theater chains are very professional. After all, they are the upstream and downstream of the industry and are closest to money.
Today’s theme is industry development, which in simple terms means money.
The most named ones are film companies and theater chains. The major film groups are not that big of a deal. They have always worked hard, but there are too many people and movies that need help.
Although movies are high-return, they are also high-risk. Several major national groups are often strapped for a lot of time, so they have also begun to deploy the entire industry.
The theater chains have made much bolder statements, especially several private enterprise theater chains, especially Wanda, which directly and clearly stated that the company will continue to expand the scale of the theater chain, and the minimum number of theaters to be built and how much money to invest each year. Leaders Everyone smiles when they hear it.
“It’s so rich.”
Ning Hao whispered to Lin Nan.
Before Ning Hao could say the second sentence, he was named. As the director of "Stone", he could not escape this disaster.
Lin Nan sat next to Ning Hao, motionless, trying to be as low-key as possible so as not to attract attention.
This guy is also keeping his own secrets, saying that there is too little support for new directors now, and he blames all the old directors and big directors. Only those few can sell hits. They are too busy to handle it. There should be more support. To support new directors, failure is allowed.
He used all his wealth to film "Incense" and went to his grandma's house. If Lin Nan hadn't given him a chance, he would have been working on another crew by now, at most as an assistant director.
“Well, it’s a good suggestion to support newcomers. If the industry wants to develop well, new forces need to continue to join.”
The leader above nodded and said.
After being sold out by Ning Hao, Lin Nan's name was indeed mentioned on it.
On this occasion, Lin Nan couldn't make jokes like rich and poor only taking care of the people around them.
“The success of "The Stone" has had a very positive impact on the market. I believe that various theater chains have also benefited a lot. There are not many movies like this that are not high in cost and can be popular. For the benefit of the industry market, Lin Nan If you have any suggestions, speak up boldly.”
The leader has completely blocked the way out, what can Lin Nan say?
Replace the old pedants at the film festival? Officials want high-grossing commercial films to drive the market, but they exclude commercial films in terms of awards?
To put it bluntly like this is probably the way to die.
"I think what director Zhang Yimou just said is good. First of all, we should support the development of commercial films. When foreign blockbusters come in, the only ones that can take the lead are domestic commercial films."
Lin Nan can only give Zhang Yimou a heart. The director said I'm sorry, I'm trying to blame you, but I'm too inexperienced.
“Secondly, what Ning Hao said is really right. There is too little help for new directors now. For my first film, I took part of the funds myself, and SIPG helped me. My own part of the money was earned from selling the copyright of "The Blind Shaft" directed by Li Yang.
At the beginning, Shanghai Film Academy had the intention of helping me. As long as I received a share of the box office, the copyright was left to me. I am very grateful for this. ”
Speaking of this, the faces of those who came to Shanghai Film were all smiles. On the other hand, Mr. Han’s smile was a bit forced. Many people knew that China Film rejected Lin Nan’s investment request at that time.
“Finally, I don’t know if you have noticed that our own film festivals in China seem to be unfriendly to commercial films. Except for the first big-production "Hero", it is difficult for other commercial films to win awards at domestic film festivals.
When I go to a film festival, no matter how much attention I receive, there is a high probability that it will be used as a foil for unknown films in the end. ”
Lin Nan wanted to just sneak through, but couldn’t hold it back for a moment, so he said the last point, and Ning Hao was already tugging on his clothes.
