Chapter 180 Starring, plus investment
No reply to the message for two days.
Those people in China are more diligent in contacting me.
China Film Group really wants to know whether the media report that Lin Nan is one of the investors is true.
Because Tom has announced that the sequel to "The Twilight Saga", "New Moon", will definitely be filmed and produced.
Nolan felt that the script written by Lin Nan could be deepened and more detailed, and the latter agreed with his suggestions for optimizing the script.
Leave it to Nolan to do the actual operation.
At night, Lin Nan looked through his email and was speechless. These people were like cats that smelled fish.
Crackling, Lin Nan replied to several emails.
Domestic reports about Lin Nan and "Twilight" are still posted online.
Ordinary people pay far less attention to this matter than the film and television industry.
"Director Han, Director Lin has replied to the email. He has been a little busy recently watching the post-production special effects of two movies. In addition, he is indeed one of the investors in that movie."
As soon as the secretary finished speaking, Han Sanping's eyes widened.
“No more?”
“That’s all I said.”
Han Sanping nodded, "Then let him ask the producer if he has any idea of showing it in China."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"The path is pretty good. Ye, do you have a new partner in Hollywood?" Han Sanping murmured with a smile.
Several companies that often cooperate with Shanghai Film, Guangwang and Wanda also received replies from Lin Nan.
“It’s very uncomfortable if his company doesn’t accept investment.”
News in the circle cannot be hidden.
There are many people who are envious, jealous, and have ideas.
"What are you thinking about? You have seen Oriental people playing vampires, do you think they are the people from Hong Kong Island?"
"I am just one of the investors, so I may not be able to control people... …”
Liu Yifei looked at the report and found it quite funny. Lin Nan told her that this movie was fully funded by him.
...
The special effects of "Painted Skin" are almost finished.
Lin Nan was even a little impatient and wanted to release a short trailer first.
Because the trailer of "The King of Kung Fu" has been released, the domestic response has been mixed.
It can be used as a comparison to warm up "Painted Skin".
"Lin, how about we also go to the stock market to make a fortune."
Tom suggested enthusiastically.
Lin Nan frowned, "Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"
Before, Tom found an institution to help Lin Nan open an account transfer, bought a lot of stocks, and is still going on. purchase.
Lin Nan specifically wanted to buy it, and he also had the idea of holding it for a long time.
But this time Tom's proposal is very unreasonable. What does it mean to make a fortune?
“You don’t know that the stock market has exploded recently, good news has been coming out from Wall Street, and banking and financial stocks have been rising...”
“So, are you greedy?”
"Many production companies I know have invested money in it and can make a lot of money every day."
Tom seemed very excited.
Lin Nan didn't know how to persuade him. There was a cliff ahead of him.
“You didn’t buy the ones I bought with you?” Lin Nan asked.
"No. But it's not too late now. I'm just going to play for a month or two..."
"Are you sure about a month or two? That's fine."
Lin Nan nodded. With Tom's cautious character, nothing would happen.
Lin Nan didn't understand this business, so he just focused on those few and held them for a long time.
Many people in China have made a lot of money by relying on the stock market here.
I heard that Liu Tao has become one of the "Four Young Masters", and even the wedding date has been set, and word has spread in the circle. The gimmick of "marrying into a wealthy family" is not a small one.
"Lust, Caution" was successfully released, with a domestic box office of 140 million US dollars, a difference of 3 million US dollars, and a global box office of 66 million US dollars.
For a literary and artistic feature film, this box office performance is unprecedented.
"Painting Heart" was released at the end of November.
Bona’s first wave of publicity begins.
"Painted Heart" is an extension of the plot of the movie "Painted Skin"."
The song sounds cold and stunning, with a hint of weird atmosphere, but it can easily make the listener feel like a tragedy in the ending of love.
“It sounds good, so “Painted Skin” is also in this style?”
Many people are beginning to look forward to the release of the movie.
Data obtained from music websites show that the number of downloads of this song is growing rapidly.
"Import? Approval of the film?"
China Film put it tactfully this time and asked Lin Nan to convey it and ask.
"Lin, what do you think?"
"Twilight" has no fan base in China.
Lin Nan remembers that it was like a stone sinking into the sea without causing any ripples.
At this time, in China, it is a bit uncertain.
"Approval the film, you go and talk about it."
"Yeah, okay."
Lin Nan clarified his thoughts, made a draft in his mind, and replied to China Film's email.
There are strict limits on the number of imported films each year. There is a high probability that China Film will not even consider importing films like "Twilight".
But the approval of the film played into Lin Nan's favour.
Two days later.
China Film sent people to Hollywood, but Lin Nan did not show up.
Tom signed with the other party outside.
Afterwards, Lin Nan also mentioned to Han Sanping that "Twilight" might not be adaptable in China.
"Lin, your people are really good at finding faults and bargaining. They pointed out all the market shortcomings of "Twilight" without even realizing it."
"It's okay. , sold for at least three million dollars, right?”
China Film didn’t pay attention to Lin Nan’s kind reminder. Instead, the matter was quickly reported and the film was even scheduled.
A movie just landed in December.
The money left over from this year is really going to be used up in a hurry, for fear of affecting next year.
……
Lin Nan still travels between New Line and Crystal Pictures.
The post-production special effects of "Painted Skin" are completely completed.
Several members of the team returned to the "Mars Rescue" project.
At the same time, the domestic film market began a publicity melee.
The three most conspicuous films, "Certificate of Voting", "Assembly Number" and "Yangtze River No. 7", will be released soon.
Lin Nan was invited by Nolan to visit the later stages of "The Dark Knight".
The later stages of this kind of Hollywood blockbuster are very worthy of reference for outsiders, so Lin Nan went there with the intention of stealing from his peers.
Warner is a real giant, and Nolan is like a lion patrolling his territory on the crew.
A common problem among great directors is to have absolute say in the crew.
"Lin, Leon gave me a reply. He will come back to read the script during the break.
Old Martin's temper is much more grumpy than mine. "Shutter Island" is not Leave without reason is allowed ”
Lin Nan saw a complete set of system equipment used for motion capture. Thinking about it in China today, the hardware is too far behind.
"It doesn't matter, you can wait. I still have a while to go back to China."
Lin Nan looked around and replied.
The cost of "The Dark Knight" was nearly 200 million US dollars. The team in the later period reached hundreds of people, which looked really spectacular.
Going back to Crystal Pictures and looking at the place and people there, I felt like I was going to the countryside.
The photo of Lin Nan visiting Warner Bros. and Nolan side by side was published in the newspaper.
The "Batman" series is so famous, and this "Dark Knight" is the highlight.
Many people in China doubt whether Lin Nan has any other projects. He is like this every time, silently.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s not very reasonable. After all, "The Dark Knight" has just been completed, so why can’t it take so long in the later stages?
Maybe Lin Nan really just met Nolan and visited Warner Bros.
Zhang Jizhong has started the national audition for "Journey to the West" again. This time he is cooperating with Blueberry Channel, claiming that the star team will compete fairly with the amateur team.
In view of the fact that he has failed in character many times before, this time he received a lot of ridicule as soon as the draft was announced.
But his old habits have not changed at all. First, he announced that Huang Xiaoming was interested in playing the role of Tang Monk, and then that Liu Yifei might audition for the role of King of the Daughter Kingdom, and Shu Chang might play a female monster...
Huang Xiaoming, on the other hand, Nothing was said.
Liu Xiaoli directly denied it on the blog she opened for her daughter, saying she did not know and would not act. Shu Chang followed up and said the same thing.
This was a slap in the face. Some reporters went to interview Zhang Jizhong about this matter, but no one could be seen at all.
The voices of sarcasm and ridicule on the Internet became louder.
Not two days later, Lin Nan went to Nolan's appointment again.
This time there are not two people.
There is also Leonardo and the people he brought.
The location was also chosen very secretly.
"Leon, how was the filming of "Shutter Island"?"
Lin Nan asked after meeting.
“It’s great. Director Martin is very good.
Lin, when I met you last year, I thought we might collaborate one day.”
"While watching the Victoria's Secret show? Haha..."
"That's right, haha. Let's hurry up, I only have one day off."
Lin Nan and Nolan Duan Drinking coffee, he walked aside.
Leonardo was left alone, reading the script carefully. The people next to him also said something from time to time.
"I think he would agree on the spot." Nolan concluded.
"We'll see."
After a while, I saw Leonardo and the people around him discussing something.
“You two, let’s discuss the schedule.”
Lin Nan and Nolan sat back down with smiles on their faces.
"Director Christopher, have you decided to direct this movie?"
"Yes, I like this script very much and have already decided.
Of course, if you refuse, we may ask Matt for his opinion."
"Matt Da "Hmm?"
"Yes, he is very handsome in "The Bourne Supremacy", isn't he?" Lin Nan took the question.
“Matt. Let my good friend rest for a while.
Originally, I was going to take a break after filming "Shutter Island", but I can't now.
I hope we will have a pleasant cooperation, it is a very imaginative script. "
After saying this, Leonardo looked at Lin Nan.
"Lin, you should know my price. ”
Lin Nan nodded, Leonardo is really expensive, but it has expensive value.
"I hope Appian Trail can participate in investment in this movie..."
…………
A few hours later, Leonardo and his party left in a hurry.
“Does this mean we have decided on an investor?”
“The fact that he can make this request on the spot shows that he is very optimistic about the script.
His ability to judge scripts is among the best among Hollywood actors. "Nolan said affirmatively.
Lin Nan did not hesitate just now and agreed to the other party's request.
But it is not yet possible to decide the proportion of his investment.
This The project will have to wait until at least the first half of next year before the various investors can be determined and the investment shares can be negotiated.
The project is too big, so we must make careful decisions. Investors must not only have money, but also need other help. Advantages.
