Chapter 176 "Blind Mountain", Red Carpet Speech
Liu Yifei didn't know what was wrong.
Started to learn to cook.
Lin Nan told Liu Yifei that she was not suitable for this at the cost of having a stomachache for a day.
"God is fair. You are so good-looking, so don't worry about your lack of talent in cooking. Just know how to use a microwave oven..."
Liu Yifei was nestled in the cradle in the garden, holding the cat, nodding with a smile on her face, without any hint of modesty.
"Well, I was also on a whim. Isn't it your birthday..."
"So, I ate everything you made."
Lin Nan said softly, There was tenderness in his eyes.
…………
"The Sun Also Rises" was released less than two weeks before it was completely silenced.
The box office stopped at 16 million.
The only amount that can be distributed to Yinghuang is six million, before tax.
This means that Yang Shoucheng's investment has been a loss.
Jiang Wen was even labeled as box office poison by some media.
"Blind Mountain" has a special theme.
When it comes to promotion, it can’t be done like a commercial film.
Yu Dong promised Lin Nan that he would increase the distribution of "Blind Mountain", and now he has indeed done so.
There are several posters for "Blind Mountain" appearing in all major theaters.
With the gray mountains as the background, a woman wearing a red jacket, black cotton trousers and a headscarf is running in a panic...
The woman's eyes were lifeless and lifeless, and she was holding a child wrapped in a quilt in her arms...
From the moment she decided to invest in this movie, Lin Nan was prepared to lose money.
While he was on the talk show with Li Yang, he was also activating the connections around him.
Everyone in the industry who has Lin Nan’s contact information is forwarding news about this movie on their blogs and forums.
“Based on real events, Director Li Yang has made another film that directly touches people’s hearts.”
...
The official media also gave publicity support.
The discussion about this movie has reached a high level.
"Just wait until it is released in November. Brother Li Yang doesn't have to worry about anything."
Li Yang thought about Lin Nan's return of money, but the latter didn't care.
Lin Nan was left with a feeling of heartache after watching this "Blind Mountain", and its subject matter is broader, more real, and more relatable to the general public than "Into the Dust".
So the box office cannot be expected.
But some movies have meaning after they are made, and such directors are also respectable.
Lin Nan is willing to lose money when investing in this type of movie.
Among the movies to be released in November, "Blind Mountain" has finally gotten some attention.
Lin Nan and Li Yang discussed the premiere and press conference for a long time, but finally decided not to do it.
Everywhere that can be publicized has been publicized, and there are official media reports. There is no need for the premiere.
The National Day has begun. There are no blockbuster movies in October this year, but those domestic movies that got cold feet in the first half of the year were finally squeezed into these three months.
The number of movies released in October is twice that in September and nearly four times that in August.
On average, two or three movies are released every day.
Lin Nan took some time to pay attention to the Busan Film Festival, and many people from China went there.
CJ previously told Lin Nan with certainty that "New World" would be shortlisted for the Busan Film Festival, but the nomination list had not yet been announced.
Soon after that, it really came true.
"New World" has a nomination for an individual honorary award, and Lin Nan's name is written on the back.
“This informal decision feels really good!” Lin Nan muttered.
Chengtian took a large team to the Busan Film Festival and signed a cooperation agreement with a South Korean company.
Must sign some actors and actresses from each other, and make financial agreements in the entertainment industry of another country.
Jiang Yiyan, who was just signed by Wu Kebo this year, is also here.
I heard from Zhu Yawen that Jiang Yiyan is not very peaceful...
On the 12th, the Busan International Film Festival Awards Ceremony.
Since many domestic actors and crew went there, the movie channel gave a special live broadcast report.
"New World" won the Audience Award and Honorable Mention.
When the presenter shouted out the Chinese word "Lin Nan".
The live footage was cut to everyone in the country.
The crew of "Assembly", Deng Chao, Sun Li, Wang Jinghua and others are all looking around.
The last ones to take the stage were the crew of "New World".
"Director Lin Nan couldn't get away because he was promoting the movie, so the crew accepted the award on his behalf..."
Busan time is one hour faster than in China.
The live broadcast of the awards ceremony on the movie channel ended. Within half an hour, the domestic media had already reported it.
"Director Lin Nan won the Individual Honor Award at the Busan Film Festival!"
...
XJ is really sincere.
Lin Nan got up early in the morning and received a call from the company. CJ sent someone to deliver the certificates.
“It’s just a small award, just like the Shanghai Film Festival, where people sit in rows to win awards, all to take care of foreigners’ face and improve their own status.”
Lin Nan gave Liu Yifei explained.
The Busan Film Festival is very strange in terms of awards. There are no traditional awards such as Best Director and Best Actor.
It is a very general documentary award, short film award, etc.
The personal award is: Honorable Mention.
......
Ning Hao took the crew back to the capital and held a final press conference.
"Originally, I wanted to take my time and finish it before the closing ceremony. Who knew that guy Huang Bo was selected by the Golden Rooster to perform at the opening ceremony.
I could only speed up the progress, and I couldn't be lazy. ”
When Ning Hao saw Lin Nan, he started to complain.
"Let's rest as usual when we come back. Anyway, we can just show up at the closing ceremony. Prepare the words first, and then use them to promote the movie."
Lin Nan said with a smile.
Liu Yifei has already set off early. The crew of "The King of Kung Fu" are important guests on the red carpet of the opening ceremony.
"How about Director Chen being a great director? The treatment is just different." Ning Hao was a little envious.
Not many crews can enter the Forbidden City for filming, and even fewer can enter unopened areas.
Chen Kaige successfully led the crew of "Mei Lanfang" into unopened areas such as the Huangji Palace.
This kind of treatment is something most directors would never dare to think about.
On the afternoon of the 26th, Lin Nan and Ning Hao arrived in Suzhou together.
Huang Bo, wearing short sleeves, jodhpurs and sunglasses, drove to pick them up.
"Guo Tao and I sang the song "I Love My Dear Girl" at the opening ceremony. Didn't we do well?"
"To be honest, we didn't watch the opening ceremony. "
Ning Hao said. He was doing preparatory work before post-production, while Lin Nan and Li Yang were recording a legal program, because the theme of "Blind Mountain" is suitable for this.
"That's a pity. Brother, what I sang was so high that many actresses called me by my name.
Even Huang Xiaoming and Huang Shengyi's singing and dancing may not be better than mine. ..."
Huang Bo's face is getting thicker and thicker.
“Let’s go, this year’s star lineup is very strong.”
As he spoke, Huang Bo stepped on the accelerator and the car sped out.
When they arrived at the hotel, Lin Nan and Ning Hao understood what Huang Bo said about the strong lineup.
The top actors in Hong Kong are here.
Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Andy Lau, Tony Leung Chaowei, Lai Ming...
The number of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists has definitely more than doubled than before.
There are also Gu Changwei, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Jia Zhangke, Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu, Zhang Ziyi...
There are many artists socializing in the hall.
Lin Nan and the other three walked in and entered the elevator without lingering.
"It seems that several big directors have all arrived today?"
"Indeed, Director Jiang Wen and Director Jia Zhangke, they have just arrived."
Many people know in their hearts that they don't care if they are stuck in rush to the closing ceremony.
Jiang Wen didn’t apply for the Golden Rooster, and Jia Zhangke didn’t even get nominated. That’s a Golden Lion Award movie.
Lin Nan and Ning Hao separated and went to find Liu Yifei alone.
While others were socializing outside, Liu Yifei stayed in the room and watched TV.
"Why are you here?" The girl patted the sofa next to her and asked Lin Nan to sit over.
"I attended a legal education program with Director Li Yang, which can be regarded as helping to promote the movie."
Lin Nan sat next to Liu Yifei, and her whole body instantly relaxed a lot, and she felt a sense of peace.
The two leaned against each other, and Liu Yifei talked about interesting things in the past two days.
She was arranged to walk with Jackie Chan on the closing ceremony red carpet, and Li Bingbing and Li Lianjie walked together, divided into two teams.
Not long after, Liu Xiaoli came back with her assistant.
"Auntie."
"Sissi, get ready, the makeup artist will be here soon."
Liu Xiaoli looked at Lin Nan and smiled, not paying attention, she was used to it.
"Oh, okay."
After saying that, Liu Yifei got up and walked into the house.
"Auntie, I'll leave first."
"Yeah."
...
Lin Nan saw from a distance that several people were joking with Ning Hao.
One of the women looked familiar.
After they left, Lin Nan walked over.
“Are you looking for Yifei?”
“Yeah. Who can recommend an actor to you?”
“Yes, he is still a person with a background. That’s it. The girl who is on the show is named Han Qian.”
“Oh, I know, Hu Ge’s classmates don’t know how good their acting skills are, but there is never a shortage of official resources...” Lin Nan replied.
...
On the red carpet, Lin Nan was with Ning Hao and Huang Bo.
“Three movies.”
“I know, one person will promote one.”
Interviews on the red carpet will be reported by all media, this is the best publicity opportunities.
In the evening, an endless motorcade drove towards the awards ceremony.
Lin Nan and three others, in suits and leather shoes, were eating sunflower seeds in the waiting area.
"I find that following you two, my image is gone. You are the director, so you don't care, and no one dares to say that I am an actor."
Huang Bo was eating, While complaining.
"Image? You are mainly interested in acting." Ning Hao said with certainty.
"Yeah, haha. No, you're saying I'm ugly!"
"Pack it up, it's probably our turn soon." Lin Nan reminded.
I saw Li Bingbing holding Li Lianjie on the red carpet, and I could already hear the host introducing "The King of Kung Fu".
The number of celebrities in the waiting area gradually decreased.
Liang Chaowei, Liu Jialing.
Liu Dehua, Hong Jinbao.
Li Ming, Chen Hong, Chen Kaige.
Chen Kun, Ren Quan, Dong Jie.
……
“Let’s go, it’s our turn.”
"Directors Lin Nan and Director Ning Hao are both guests of this film festival. They also have movies completed this year. Can you introduce them to everyone?"
This host is very smart and takes the initiative to pass on the words. come over.
Lin Nan and Ning Hao smiled and handed the microphone to Huang Bo.
"I'll come first. Although I am the star of "Racing", what I want to talk about is "Painted Skin". Director Lin's magical love blockbuster, I believe it will not disappoint the audience."
Ning Hao took the microphone, "What I want to say is "Blind Mountain". This is a work that directly touches people's hearts. I hope that all of us can sympathize with the weak, save the weak, and fight crime."
""Crazy Racing" has six story lines, which is more exciting than "Stone"..."
Lin Nan finally spoke.
“It is a pity that these three works will not be seen in this Golden Rooster Awards.
Then, will the two directors take their films to participate in the next Golden Rooster Awards?”
This question made Lin Nan and Ning Hao stunned for a moment, and they looked at each other.
"Probably not."
Ning Hao's words made the media at the scene smell the performance again.
"Why?" the host asked.
“Haha, the threshold for the Golden Rooster Award is too high.”
“Where is Director Lin?”
"I think it's better for me to pursue the Golden Bear and Golden Lion awards first.
They may be simpler and easier..."
Huang Bo Lin Nan looked at the two of them with blank expressions, this was too daring to say.
The surrounding media reporters could not be described as excited at this time, they were excited.
In addition to the previous mocking remarks made by Jia Zhangke, Wang Quanan, Jiang Wen and others on the red carpet.
Have today's group of senior leaders discussed it collectively?
