Chapter 115: Parents Invited, will be released soon
Nothing unexpected happened, the headlines the next day were indeed there.
It is rare to see Lin Nan say harsh words in a positive situation. This is the first time.
“Two major directors from Nortel are tit for tat. One belittles horror films, the other satirizes the other’s film plagiarism...”
“Director Lin Nan is suspected of siding with documentary directors...”
...
What happened at the dinner that day spread out, and Lin Nan didn't care who spread the news. Let it be like this. You should accept what you say.
Jiang Wen is a person who doesn’t take too much trouble to join in the fun. "The Sun Also Rises" was still being filmed, so he told the visiting reporter that he regretted not being there at the time, otherwise he would have had to drink two cups.
The "Kekexili" lawsuit suddenly became a hot topic. Originally, only a few media reported it, but now more people are paying attention.
Lin Nan also didn’t expect that the news about her confrontation with Lu Chuan would be on par with popular news such as “Super Girl” and “The Good Man”.
A dog named Song bluntly said that this was Lin Nan's promotion for the upcoming "Time Cruiser".
Lin Nan only replied to the reporter with one sentence: A dog is a dog. Since he claims to be a dog in the entertainment industry, he should not always get involved in human affairs.
It can be regarded as revenge for Miss Liu.
This is the first time that the media has seen Lin Nan be so tough. He had always been polite in interviews before, but this is the first time that he has cursed someone in front of the microphone without naming him, uh, he's called a dog.
……
Ms. Liu, who was far away at Sony headquarters, made a special call back. She was so moved that she even cried...
"Tengu" was held at a screening at Nortel. Lin Nan was a college student at the school. The director was also invited.
Fu Dalong, an actor from Nortel, is a rare and talented actor. His performance in "Tengu" was really good.
I was still listening to the creators talk about their feelings about this drama, when someone came to Lin Nan over there and said, "Brother Lin, the department is asking you to come over."
"That's right. What comes is still coming.”
Lin Nan found it funny. Are the parents going to mediate?
The pressure of public opinion is currently on Lu Chuan's side, and Lin Nan is the first celebrity in the industry to stand up and speak for the documentary director. This person also thanked Lin Nan through the media for speaking up.
Tian Zhuangzhuang quite approves of Lin Nan's behavior. He talks about the matter based on the facts, that's right.
But the fight between two well-known directors from the school really had a bad impact on the school.
It was said that I was looking for him from the department, but wasn’t the head of the department his own teacher? Lin Nan murmured in his heart.
Lin Nan's undergraduate advisor, Lao Jiang, was also in Tian Zhuangzhuang's office.
After Lin Nan knocked on the door and came in, he closed it behind his back.
"Sit down." Tian Zhuangzhuang pointed to Lao Jiang.
“You kid is really careless.” Lao Jiang scolded with a smile.
“As you said, the man named Lu always thinks that since he is more than one round older than me, he can put on airs, and he is just looking for trouble.”
Lin Nan took the lead and said, "The responsibilities are clearly divided."
"The department has held a meeting about you two."
"Isn't it?"
Lin Nan didn't believe it, this is not the case What a big deal.
“Professor Jiang said hello, let’s end this matter and save some face for the old man.”
Tian Zhuangzhuang suddenly said, this tone was going to set the tone.
“Are you really looking for a parent?”
Lin Nan said in disbelief.
Now he really believed the rumor in the world. Jiang Wen turned against the client and Lu Chuan called to complain late at night!
Tian Zhuangzhuang rolled his eyes at his student, but this metaphor was quite appropriate.
"After that, don't say anything about this matter. As for plagiarism or not, other families will handle it themselves."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lin Nan was helpless He said, this is reality.
......
The box office of "Insidious" is still growing, but it is somewhat different from the previous "Dead Silence". The North American box office growth is not as good as the latter, but the global box office is higher than the previous "Dead Silence" "Dead Silence" is much better.
The email sent by Lionsgate is similar to what foreign media reported. In the first week, "Insidious" earned nearly 40 million US dollars worldwide. According to the law of box office decline over time, it should not be a big problem to exceed 100 million US dollars this time.
The second round of promotion for "Time Cruise" has begun, but unfortunately Zeng Li can't come.
The "Sweeney", which was launched in 2002, experienced the death of the crew, changed roles, and was restarted. The director died of illness, and it was not confirmed to be released until this month.
This is Zeng Li’s first movie with a female protagonist. The male protagonist is Chen Kun. Lin Nan let Zeng Li go there.
"It was two years ago that Lizi accepted this movie. It was the first time someone asked her to play the heroine in a movie..."
Chen Minghao recalled saying.
Lin Nan knew this. Zeng Li's film career was much more difficult than that of her female classmates.
Sitting in the rest area of the CCTV building, the big screen is showing the award video of the Hong Kong Film Awards. Zhou Xun won the Best Actress, and for "If Love", Jay Chou won the Best New Actor. .
There were many mainland actresses who joined in the fun in the past. Li Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi were among the presenters.
“Director Lin, do you think our film can win an award?”
Tian Yu's question is difficult to answer. This is a science fiction film and a commercial film, and it is not suitable for film festivals.
"Where to get it? Hundred flowers? Haha."
Chen Minghao answered and couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Nan was thinking that if he wanted to win the prize, he would have to go to Baihua or Huabiao.
Inside the studio. "Director Lin, what are your expectations for the box office of this movie?"
The host of the movie channel asked.
“I hope the domestic box office can reach 200 million.” Lin Nan expressed his inner expectations.
After saying this number, the host had a smile on his face, and several of the leading actors were also a little excited.
The last movie to exceed 200 million in domestic sales was "Hero" at the end of 2002. "The Promise" a few months ago fell to 180 million, and it was still the box office champion last year.
"Director Lin is confident?"
"Just ask the leading actors, haha."
"You are confident!"
"We believe in Director Lin, haha."< br>
……
Major theaters have already hung up the release posters for "Time Cruiser". The fourth film directed by Lin Nan will be officially released on May Day.
This is the first time for a movie to go abroad. Although Lionsgate tried its best, the film schedule can only be said to be average.
In the words of the head of Lions Gate’s distribution department, “Lin, this is the first time, so we can only go as far as this. The next time, it will be different.”
Lin Nan understands this truth and will definitely suffer some losses the first time.
The news from Showbox is better. Their theater chains will give them more preferential treatment, while other theater chains will be more cautious.
Since Tian Zhuangzhuang greeted Lin Nan, the latter has not been interviewed by reporters again, and the news on the Internet seems to have disappeared all of a sudden.
Sometimes you have to admit the butterfly effect. I remember that Lu Chuan’s lawsuit would last for a long time, but after Lin Nan’s retort, the matter was declared settled in the first round of the lawsuit.
The plaintiff rebelled in court and listed a series of testimonies that were useful to Lu Chuan. He wished he could change the identities of the plaintiff and defendant on the spot.
When this news was revealed by a certain media, the Internet was filled with lamentation.
“It’s a pity that Director Lin Nan spoke so righteously...”
"Unlucky."
"Director Lin Nan didn't even dare to write the script like this, so Lu Chuan came directly to the director!"
"Money, money, money, everything is easy to talk about once you've negotiated the money. ..."
There were many people comforting Lin Nan. He couldn't explain it. His first reaction was just to retaliate against Lu Chuan.
All the publicity that needs to be done has been done, Lin Nan is just waiting for the movie to be released.
On the other side, spanning nearly a year, when "Golden Armor" was fully launched, Zhang Yimou received his appointment letter as chief director, and the national teacher was about to take up the post.
Shu Chang came to Lin Nan with a TV series invitation. Liu Yifei and her daughter were not here, so they had to look to him to make the decision.
“Do you want to pick it up?”
Looking at Shu Chang, Lin Nan asked.
Shuchang has been invited by Zhang Jizhong for "The Deer and the Cauldron" and has worked with him many times. This time the role is Princess Jianning.
"Director Zhang said the role is not that big and it won't delay my school affairs."
Understood, Shu Chang still wanted to take it.
"Then take it, as long as you don't do what you did before. If you have anything to do, call me, and I will ask Huang Xiaoming to take care of you..."
"Yes."< br>
Since the last lawsuit, Shu Chang's attitude towards Lin Nan has changed a lot. When joking, he would call out his name, but he would call him brother more often.
"New Shanghai Beach" is still in a hurry, but Huang Xiaoming has already signed a contract for his next drama. He just hopes that the crew will not have any problems and affect the schedule.
He agreed to Lin Nan's request. People from great directors are not easy to come by. These are precious personal connections.
"Brother Xiao Ming, who are you calling, smiling so happily?"
Sun Li, who plays Feng Chengcheng, asked with a smile, and Huang Haibo next to him also had a smile on his face.
"Lin Nan. My next film is "The Deer and the Cauldron" produced by Zhang. He asked me to take care of his sister."
Huang Xiaoming didn't hide it. It would be good for him to say this kind of thing.
"Director Lin Nan? He has a sister?" Everyone was very curious, but they had never heard of it.
"It's Shu Chang, she plays the role of Princess Jianning. They seem to have met in "Lotus Lantern". Haven't you often seen news about them going shopping before?"
< br>Huang Xiaoming explained that Shu Chang still plays his wife in the play.
The global box office of "Insidious" reached nearly 70 million US dollars at the end of the second week, and reached 90 million US dollars in the third week, and then it began to plummet.
With this box office result, according to Lin Nan's estimation, Wen Zairen's answer should not be far away.
The box office data from across the ocean was transmitted back to China. The public was once again shocked by the ultra-high profits of horror films, but also regretted the domestic policies.
Shanghai Film Group called and advised Lin Nan not to take the opportunity to promote the horror tone of "Time Cruiser".
"Be safe, don't promote this, science fiction is science fiction, no matter what you said before, don't mention it now...
It will be released soon, there are definitely jealous people, just in case I give it to you When looking for something to do, I am very passive.”
"I understand, Director Ren, I won't do this."
Lin Nan really had this idea, and took advantage of the popularity of "Latent" to promote it.
After listening to Ren Zhonglun's words, he realized that this was a science fiction film.
When reviewing scripts and applying for screening permits, the applications were all science fiction. If they hyped up horror tones, wouldn’t they be causing trouble for the bureau? Are you uncomfortable?
