Chapter 157 The boot is about to start, be prepared
The next day, Lin Nan was called to a meeting.
This time it’s for real, it’s a big scene.
Director Tong of the Film Bureau personally hosted it, as well as many leaders of radio and television.
Several major film groups and film studios are all present, and they are all top leaders.
Almost all of the country's reputable private film companies, distribution companies, theater companies, film and television investment companies, and film directors by name are here.
Lin Nan sat politely with Ning Hao, listening to the leader's speech.
It seems that a certain elder has spoken, attaching great importance to the development of the film industry...
So, today's meeting was held.
According to the data from the General Administration, the domestic film industry has been growing at an annual rate of 30% in the past few years. The above thinks that it is still slow and can be accelerated.
"The production value is increasing every year, but if you look carefully at the market, the best-selling movies have always been those directors..."
Director Tong directly pointed out that box office is the key. Even if you make a profit by selling the copyright, the box office will not be the same. , still does not help the entire industry.
Because you are separated from the theater chain, and theater chains are an important component of the film industry.
Han Sanping is the new official, and China Film Group is taking the lead. He is really domineering when he speaks.
"China Film Group Corporation is working hard to produce large-scale films, such as Zhou Xingchi's "Yangtze River No. 7", Chen Kexin's "The Legend", Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff", Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang"..."
China Film's data is the envy of several other film groups, and only Shanghai Film Group can barely keep up.
Ning Hao touched Lin Nan lightly, "The Xiaoxiang Film Group only takes in 60 million a year. Many private companies earn several times their amount."
"Others are For state-owned enterprises, making money is not the first purpose..."
Lin Nan looked forward and whispered back.
Lin Nan did not come to this meeting in vain, and heard a lot of first-hand information.
With funds allocated from above, several major film groups will all begin to expand the scale of their theater chains, going to the grassroots and rural areas...
New policies will continue to be introduced in the future.
"Ning Hao, the film industry is about to develop rapidly..."
Lin Nan muttered.
Ning Hao thought for a moment, "Then do it!"
The Olympics were so busy that Zhang Yimou was even called.
After the meeting, some people were left behind, and Lin Nan and Ning Hao were among them.
“In all fields of culture and art, no style can have as huge an impact on the international community as movies, such as "The Good Man", "Tuya Marriage" and other award-winning films at internationally renowned film festivals... …”
“Everyone sitting here is the leader of the industry, and they all have their own strengths in awards and box office. The future of domestic films depends on you.
But the prosperity of the film market economy still needs to be able to do so. A blockbuster commercial film, movies are not just art in words, they are commodities..."
...
The theme of this meeting is commercial films. We must strive to make breakthroughs and provide strong support in terms of policies and funds.
Lin Nan and Ning Hao were also named because they are young, especially since their recent projects are commercial films.
Everyone understood the meaning above. The smile on Feng Xiaogang's face never broke, while Chen Kaige, on the contrary, had no expression at all.
Before leaving, Han Sanping said to Lin Nan: "The actors for "Painted Skin" have been selected, let's announce it, there is no need to hide it, just do it openly..."
Lin Nan understood. This was for the leader to show his stance!
Ning Hao was promised that the script would be approved as quickly as possible and he could choose the role.
......
The daily box office of "Buried Alive" remains at two to three million, and Lin Nan no longer cares about this.
Ning Hao openly announced that casting for "Crazy Racing" has begun. In fact, auditions are still invited and will not be made public.
Lin Nan's company announced the cast list of "Painted Skin".
Fox Demon Xiao Wei: Weekly News.
Wang Sheng: Huang Xiaoming.
Pang Yong: Jiao Enjun.
Pei Rong: Mei Ting.
Xia Bing: Shu Chang.
Lizard Spirit: Hu Ge.
Although the media and the public had already expected it, it was still a little different from what they guessed.
Chen Minghao and Zeng Li, who had been to Lin Nan's company, were not on the list. Instead, they were Shu Chang and Hu Ge.
Some media recalled that at the end of February, Lin Nan went to Shanghai from Hong Kong Island. Maybe Hu Ge was decided at that time.
As for Shu Chang, no one said anything at all. He is one of the few young actors who has good acting skills and is very popular with the audience.
“This lineup is simply perfect, with both acting skills and audience popularity!”
“Jiao Enjun is an actor from Bay Island, and Director Lin has chosen this role really well.”
"I'm afraid Erlang Shen will be able to kill the fox demon as soon as he comes up, right?"
"Shu Chang has also played the role of a fox demon, very pure..."
...
In just a few days, the "Nanjing" submitted by Lu Chuanxin has passed the review!
Although the meeting has just begun, it cannot be so fast.
Lin Nan inquired specifically and found out that this guy was indeed looking for a relationship. His teacher had taken action. As for how much the script had been changed, it was unknown.
"Li Mi's Conjecture" was successfully completed. The crew returned to Beijing and held a final press conference.
Many reporters went there, and Zhou Xun was the main interviewee.
“Yes, I am working with Director Lin continuously. He is the producer of "Li Mi's Conjecture" and the director of "Painted Skin".
I have been looking forward to it for a long time. We had cooperated before, but I didn’t expect it would come true this time. We met face-to-face when he came to visit the crew..."
News came from Ning Ying that the filming location has been arranged.
The desert background, lonely smoke, sunset, and war scenes in "Painted Skin" were filmed here.
Zhenbeibao Western Cinema is characterized by simplicity, primitiveness, roughness and desolation. Many classic movies have been shot here.
For example, "Westward Journey", "Red Sorghum"...
The efficiency of film preparation is unexpectedly fast. Lin Nan originally thought that filming would be started at the end of April, but unexpectedly in March It will be almost ready by the end of the month.
Another ridiculous news broke out on the Internet.
The director of "The Movie" with an investment of US$40 million, Chen Kexin, is criticizing the extravagance of period films. "Domestic costume films are too luxurious and too fake. My crew went in the opposite direction this time. Everyone was dressed in shabby clothes and looked shabby..."
When the purchase order within the crew was revealed, everyone saw clearly the face of this great Hong Kong director.
“Holy shit, my two months’ salary can’t even buy a piece of tattered clothes from his crew!”
“Is this mixed with gold or silver thread?”
< br>……
A few days ago, Han Sanping was still talking about the "Report of Nomination" at the conference, and now he felt like he had eaten a fly.
Condemnation arose in the industry, and people on the Internet were criticizing Chen Kexin for his greed, which then spread to the entire Hong Kong circle.
As expected by Lin Nan, this matter was suppressed within two days.
But I guess Chen Kexin will not change in the future.
"Clues of Time" was released for three days and earned 8 million domestically, which is incomparable to other films. "Buried Alive" also played its role.
As for what will happen next in "Tuya's Wedding", it has nothing to do with him.
Lin Nan gathered the crew and creators together in the capital.
"Sister Xun, you have just finished filming and are joining the team. Is that okay? You are the main force."
"Hey, are you looking down on me?" Zhou Xun sneered.
“I don’t dare, it’s no problem.”
Lin Nan introduced Wu Ershan to everyone.
Shuchang, Jiao Enjun and Huang Xiaoming are all acquaintances, and they have a good chat. Hu Ge and others also joke from time to time. The overall atmosphere of the crew is good.
"Led by Director Wu Ershan, we will go to Zhenbeibao Western Cinema at the end of the month to experience the environment first. Most of our outdoor scenes were shot there... …”
There are many film and television cities in China, many of which are built based on geographical environment. The majestic and rugged characteristics of the northwest cannot be experienced in the south.
The highly anticipated Golden Bear movie, "Tuya Wedding" is released.
The official media gave a lot of publicity reports, and Wang Quanan led Yu Nan to give frequent interviews.
"How much was the box office on the first day? Say it again."
Lin Nan guessed that this movie would not do well at the box office, but he did not expect it to be so bad.
"It's 610,000. If you look at the news, it's all reported."
Ning Hao's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Lin Nan turned on the computer. You must know that this is a Golden Bear movie, and the relevant departments above have mobilized a lot of film schedules.
The headline on the portal website is the report of the box office failure of Golden Bear.
In the huge theater, the number of moviegoers was scattered. When interviewed, many theater directors have stated that they will reschedule movies based on the actual situation.
The subtext is, give up on this movie.
"Don't show up much lately, so as not to be caught by reporters asking you what you think about this matter." Ning Hao said with a smile.
"Hey, try your best, "Painted Skin" is about to start production, I can't hide."
As Lin Nan, who has competed head-on with "Tuya Wedding" in Berlin, the media will definitely find her.
No matter how you answer, it may distort your meaning and provoke confrontation. After all, Lin Nan lost in Berlin.
"Director Lin, we have a reporter's appointment."
"Said I'm not here. I'm busy with movies recently and have no time."
It was true that the words came true even before they were spoken.
The props and costume team took the lead in starting from the capital and made news.
"The crew of "Painted Skin" is about to start shooting, and the crew's logistics team has arrived at the Western Film and Television City."
Lin Nan went to the martial arts school again.
“Look at my biceps, hehe.”
Liu Yifei bulged her arms and asked Lin Nan to touch her, but the latter wanted to cry but had no tears.
"The crew is about to start shooting?"
"Well, there are many shooting locations, so we have to leave early."
When it comes to this topic, Liu Yifei becomes a little listless.
“Painted Skin is about to open, and then we will just have to talk on the phone.”
"If you want to take the initiative to call me, why don't you always ask me to call a girl?"
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and made it clear.
"Okay, I will remember better this time."
During that time in Hollywood, Liu Yifei often counted the time difference and called him at night, trying not to disturb Lin Nan's rest.
“Let’s go, take me to meet Paul...”
...
A film crew is a small society, let alone one like "The King of Kung Fu".
Lin Nan met with Paul first and asked him to look after Liu Yifei and her daughter while the crew was filming, and then went to chat with Jackie Chan for a while.
As expected of a veteran, he can tell the difference at a glance.
“That little girl is more than just Director Lin’s classmate, right? Haha.”
"More than that. When filming, please take care of yourself and don't get bullied."
Jackie Chan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lin Nan to answer so directly.
"You are more responsible than me.
Don't worry, I can see these days that the people at Lions Gate take good care of her, isn't it your reason?"
"Haha, big brother is really accurate."
"I can still guess what you are thinking. Do people in the industry think of me like this now?"
Jackie Chan looked helpless. It was obvious that the female artists had approached him one by one, but he had refused...
"Brother, let's not discuss this issue, haha."
Jackie Chan's only shortcoming is that he is a bit fancy, Lin Nan can just say hello and be prepared.
