Chapter 120 July, Lust, Caution
This year’s Shanghai Film Festival has undergone a change. The final result is that except for "Tengu" which won the Jury Prize, all other important awards were given to foreign films.
The best female lead in the country who has been in the spotlight for eight years is gone this time. She has truly gone global, at least that’s what the organizer said.
It’s a pity that Zeng Li was shortlisted.
Lin Nan found it very ironic. Many awards were given to foreign stars in various ways. Foreign actresses who arrived only a few hours before the awards were awarded, could all win the artistic contribution award. No wonder the media Spraying.
The chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards was interviewed and said that he would embrace the mainland, which attracted a lot of praise. In the past two years, Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi have won awards, which seems to be a sign of this.
Lin Nan scoffed at this, but he said it nicely.
"Journey to the Center of the Earth" is still being screened, and the main force at the domestic box office is still 3D theaters.
Liu Yifei is packing her luggage and flying to Sony again. The first Japanese EP is scheduled to be released on the 1st of next month, which is only two days away.
“Why are you here so early today?”
Liu Yifei exclaimed when she saw Lin Nan appearing in front of her.
It was only after ten o'clock, and she had just finished washing.
"Isn't Auntie here?"
"Mom has gone to the company, we will set off tomorrow."
"How about we have a dinner together today? I just happened to be moving New home.”
Lin Nan opened his mouth and saw Liu Yifei's surprised expression.
"New home? Where is it?"
"Let's take you to see it."
Lin Nan stretched out his hand, and Liu Yifei decisively took it.
“Isn’t this the direction of parking?”
Lin Nan led Liu Yifei out and turned in the opposite direction. The latter asked doubtfully.
Lin Nan didn't say anything, and just held hands until they came to a courtyard a hundred meters away.
Liu Yifei's eyes widened, "You're not talking about this place, are you?"
"Haha, it's right here."
Lin Nan smiled and opened the door , the layout is almost the same as Liu Yifei’s, but a little bigger.
"Tell me, I don't even know when you moved here."
Liu Yifei asked with a smile and excitement.
"It's only been a little over a week. I just packed it up and moved everything here last night."
"Then why didn't you come to see me yesterday?"
" It’s so late, I guess you’re already asleep. Let me show you around my new home.”
"Okay."
......
Shu Chang and Zhu Yawen came to attend the housewarming party. When they saw this villa, they called the rich people directly and put the next gatherings in the forest. Nan is here.
The next day, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli flew to Sony.
The company has moved into a new address, and recruitment matters have been given top priority. Thanks to the personal items brought in at the graduation ceremony, many people actually submitted their resumes.
Lin Nan received people from the video website in the conference room. Also present were Kang Honglei and Yue Jun.
At present, the first two hundred minutes of "Soldier Assault" have been edited. This time I invited people to come over and watch the film.
Kang Honglei didn't understand Lin Nan's decision to put the drama on the Internet first, because it was a bit deviant.
At present, there is almost no precedent for a TV series to premiere on an Internet platform before it was broadcast on a TV station, and this TV series is not produced by a small company with no reputation.
Lin Nan explained to Kang Honglei that this can better bring the TV series to the audience. At this time, Internet viewers have some social accumulation, some knowledge and insight, and can better spread it. This drama.
Lin Nan remembered that at that time, the TV station was completely losing money on this drama, and it even took a long time to recover the funds. Its popularity was entirely due to the Internet.
“The forty-episode version is very suitable for the platform.”
For Lin Nan who took the initiative to contact them, the business department of Tudou Video attaches great importance to it. Few big directors have this choice.
"Director Lin, please rest assured, our sharing model is very clear, but you also know that piracy is also crazy at the moment..."
"This is not important, we can do it one episode at a time Just release it on the market and don’t let pirates get ahead of you.”
Piracy on the Internet is also a way of promotion. Lin Nan can only comfort himself in this way.
"Okay, let's sign it then."
"Yeah."
At this time, the overlap between Internet viewers and ordinary TV viewers is not high, Lin Nan just wants to use the Internet platform to make the TV series famous so that he can negotiate the price with the TV station.
Liu Yifei’s first Japanese EP was released. Sony gave it a lot of promotional coverage, and there were also reports from mainland media.
With light blue short sleeves, warm-toned patterned skirt, and long hair shawl, Liu Yifei's album photo has a youthful atmosphere.
Netizens are very optimistic about the development of Xiao Longnv.
Next is the Mandarin album, which everyone is looking forward to.
The focus of attention in the industry recently is "Lust, Caution". Li An's filming crew is ready, and the start time is set for September. But at this time, except for some actors who are keeping secrets, there are still some missing actors. The important heroine has not been determined. From the moment he started acting, Li An went all the way north to receive audition resumes from Nortel, China Theater, Beijing Dance, and even girls from ordinary art schools, a large number of brokerage companies, and film and television companies.
The influence of major international directors has made the entire circle restless.
"Director Lin, do you think fame is really that important? So many people are willing to do that kind of movie just because they are great directors."
Tian Yu's question is really hard to answer. . Li An made it clear that this drama will be based on the original work, and some of the women's scenes will be filmed more thoroughly and in-depth.
Tian Yu’s girlfriend is Tang Wei. Lin Nan met her once when they were filming "Time Cruise", but she didn’t expect that she would still reach this point.
“In China, male actors and actresses are different. The further an actress goes, the fiercer the competition and the less marketable she is. A big director is the best step...”
"Why do you ask this question?" Lin Nan couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, my girlfriend passed the preliminary election and is going to the Magic City for a period of training. We had a very loud argument."
Tian Yu's tone seemed very decadent, but It's nothing like the fun and humor he had when he was on the set.
Lin Nan couldn't be comforted, because Tang Wei did become famous because of this drama.
"Talk more, quarreling will only make things worse."
Judging from Tian Yu's state, Lin Nan probably couldn't change the result.
After more than half a month of release, the domestic box office of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" has reached 70 million. 2D theaters have basically stopped scheduling films, and only 3D theaters are full.
The accounts of "Insidious 1" have started to be connected. After all, more than two months have passed.
After discussing with China Film and Shanghai Film Corporation, Lin Nan took advantage of the situation and sold the copyright of "Time Cruiser", and the money was returned quickly.
He was also stimulated by "The Golden Armor". Zhang Weiping's mouth is really annoying sometimes.
When "Golden Armor" was finalized, he told the media that the European and American copyrights had been sold, which was higher than "Heroes" and "House of Flying Daggers", and the distribution contract was also based on a guaranteed split account model.
Sony not only promised to help "The Golden Jacket" win the Best Foreign Language Film Award, but also participated in the competition for individual Oscar awards.
This has excited many domestic film crews.
“How can Feng Xiaogang compare to Yimou? Chen Kaige has never had the ability to compete in commercial films. Those in Hong Kong have always made small films. The same generation and even the previous generation can only make feature films and have no market appeal. .
Lin Nan is a young kid who still needs experience. Although he started out in commercial films and won a small award, it cannot be said that he will definitely become the second Zhang Yimou. Are there many examples of hurting Zhongyong?
As for the little money made from horror films, they are not even on the table. So far, there are no big productions..."
"Isn't it just that the copyright was sold at a high price? ”
When Lin Nan saw this news, someone from the company told him that Zhang Weiping named almost all the directors named in the country one by one.
He, Lin Nan, was very lucky. In one sentence, Gu Changwei and Wang Xiaoshuai are all in Spring and Autumn style, and they can only be summarized in one sentence.
Ning Hao is also good, and he was mentioned as having good luck. < br>
With Zhang Yimou in his hands, he can speak with great dignity.
The Hundred Flowers Award is here. Following the example of its big brother, the Golden Rooster, it also includes artists and films from Hong Kong and Taiwan in the selection for the first time.
"Director Lin, how should I reply?"
The company's employee in charge of external relations asked.
“Don’t worry about it for now.”
Lin Nan saw a piece of news. Popular Bookstore organized a writer exchange meeting. One of the pen names caught Lin Nan's attention: Nine Knives.
......
As long as Kang Honglei completes the later stages of the TV series, he can connect with the website.
As the head of the TV drama department, Yue Jun began to look for new business, and many people took the initiative to contact him.
Lin Nan has to think about his next movie. Although Zhang Weiping's words may not sound good, he is right about one thing.
That is, Lin Nan has indeed never handled any major productions.
The most is the 40 million for "Time Cruiser", which is indeed much inferior to that of Zhang Producer, who often uses US dollars to make units.
As usual, the movie channel approached Lin Nan about the broadcast rights of "Time Cruiser". The price was always so low, but Lin Nan readily agreed. It doesn't matter how much or how little money you have. Relationships are important.
Liu Xiaoli and her daughter got off the plane and were blocked by reporters when they left the airport.
It was only because a good media recommended Liu Yifei to Li An a few days ago, and the former also said that he was looking forward to Liu Yifei's audition, that the reporters came to stay at the airport.
Liu Xiaoli took her daughter for an interview in an open area so as not to disturb passengers entering and leaving the airport.
“I originally wanted to give it a try. Director Li An is a famous international director. Which actor wouldn’t want to work with him? But I consulted Lin Nan and he felt it was completely inappropriate. I also went to read the original work. , I heard that the script has a lot of sex scenes, so it’s really not suitable for me.”
Liu Yifei’s speech was very rigorous and she expressed her own thoughts.
"Then you won't consider a play with this kind of scene in the future?"
Liu Xiaoli answered first: "Next, Sissy will focus on studying. , one movie or record a year, she won’t accept many film and television projects, and this kind of drama is not suitable for her age..."
After Liu's mother finished speaking, she took her daughter into the car and refused to accept any other questions.
Within two hours, Xiao Longnu’s speech appeared on the news, and many actors breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Liu Yifei is so popular now. "The Condor" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" are both in theaters. Among young actresses, her popularity is unrivaled.
