Chapter 182 "Assembly Number", "Sword and Sword III"
Lin Nan saw a giant poster of "The Certificate of Nomination" at the airport.
The world premiere should be held today.
“Director Lin?”
Someone shouted, and Lin Nan noticed that it was several reporters.
"Still staying at the airport today? Aren't you supposed to go to the premiere of director Chen Kexin?"
"There are colleagues over there. We are lucky, won't we be able to catch Director Lin? Haha..."
Don’t hit the smiling person with your hand.
Lin Nan gave some reporters some information about his performance.
Ten minutes later, the interview ended and Lin Nan got in the car to pick him up.
"Director Lin, invitations to the premieres of "The Nomination" and "Assembly Number" have both been sent over..."
"When is "Assembly Number"?"
"The day after tomorrow. "
"Go to China Film Academy first," Lin Nan ordered.
In less than an hour, the news that "Painted Skin" had completed all post-production, including special effects, was on the news.
Photos of Lin Nan chatting with reporters at the airport also appeared online.
China Film, post-production center.
The complete film of "Painted Skin" is being played, and Lin Nan is working on it alone.
The picture, background, color tone... there is nothing wrong with it, it is beautiful.
“According to Director Lin’s request, the one-minute-and-thirty-second trailer has been cut separately.”
"Then contact Bona, this is their job."
Lin Nan stared at the movie screen and said to the people on the side.
According to the agreed time, CJ and Sony film producers will arrive tomorrow.
Lin Nan informed several producers of China Film about this matter in the afternoon.
On the other side, news about the premiere of "The Letter of Entitlement" was everywhere, and it seemed to be a large-scale cultural event.
Just look at the on-site photos leaked online, and you can see more than a hundred celebrities in the industry.
Liu Dehua, Li Lianjie, and Jin Chengwu are the biggest selling points, with Han Sanping firmly sitting in the middle.
In the evening, Lin Nan drove to Nortel. Part of the post-production of "Racing" was done in school, and I didn't go to China Film Academy.
When a few people were having dinner outside, they saw an acquaintance.
Huang Xiaoming was accompanied by a woman who looked very intimate.
"Would you like to call us over?" Ning Hao looked at Lin Nan.
Before Lin Nan could answer, Huang Xiaoming had noticed a few people over there and led them over.
"Director Lin, Director Ning, what a coincidence, let's share a table."
"Sit down quickly, I'll call out some more dishes." Xing Aina stood up and left .
"Let me introduce you two. This is my girlfriend, Li Feier, whom we met when we were filming "The Deer and the Cauldron"."
"Hello directors, I'm Li Feier."
This reminded Lin Nan of Huang Xiaoming's ex-girlfriend last year, who was now with Lu Chuan, and she was not serious.
At the dinner table, Huang Xiaoming was so meticulous that Xing Aina stared at Ning Hao.
This is near Nortel, and many people coming and going have noticed this table.
More than an hour later, Huang Xiaoming took his people to leave.
"If they hadn't seen the three of us, maybe everyone else would have been at home right now."
Ning Hao made a joke, which earned Xing Aina a blank look.
“But you haven’t heard of it before?”
“Maybe it’s the relationship that was just confirmed recently?”
……
Domestic reporters are also quite good.
The next morning, Lin Nan saw Huang Xiaoming’s gossip.
In addition to having dinner with himself and others near Nortel, he was also photographed returning to the apartment with the woman, leaving around early in the morning.
"Notification" is officially released.
Lin Nan met with people from Sony, CJ and Showbox at the company. There was no communication between people from these two companies in South Korea during the whole process.
No one came from Xiying or Ningying, and only four of the six investors came.
The people at Sony were watching the movie intently, nodding from time to time, as were the people at CJ and Showbox.
People from China Film, Guangwang and Wanda also watched it seriously. This was also the first time for them to see the finished film.
At the end of the movie, people from Sony gave a reply on the spot.
“Next, we can talk about the issue of distribution and screening in island countries.
Sony will bring it back to China, and can even cooperate with you and release it on the same day..."
According to the rules of imported films from the island country, "Painted Skin" will be released there, no problem at all.
Regarding the subsequent contract signing, China Film Group will go to negotiate with Sony.
Only CJ and Showbox are left, and no one is willing to give in.
This is the hope of Lin Nan and others. See the results.
In the end, there was an argument, but Lin Nan suggested that they cooperate in publishing, and that was the end of the matter.
The box office results of "The Call to Action" are out.
After 6 hours, it exceeded 10 million, and the box office on the first day reached 21 million.
The industry exclaimed that this is another movie that is going to break 200 million.
The one minute and thirty second trailer of "Painted Skin" appeared online.
It attracted a large number of movie fans and audiences, and also grabbed a lot of news attention from "The Film".
The scene of Wang Sheng fighting with a halberd and looking at Xiao Wei.
The warmth of walking out of the camp with Zhou Xun under one arm.
Jiao Enjun is wearing armor and fighting against the iron blood of hundreds of bandits.
……
A lot of footage flashed through the ninety-second video.
“Zhou Xun’s eyes can really speak!”
“The leader is so handsome.”
“Hu Ge’s look is weird, but I like it... …”
……
The effect of the trailer is surprisingly good.
Wang Zhonglei called personally and asked Lin Nan to come to the premiere of "Assembly Number".
Lin Nan agreed. Huayi, which has just completed its third round of financing, is now very wealthy. In this year's Lunar New Year episode, "Assembly Number" is going to compete with "Report".
The scale of the premiere is not inferior to that of "The Letter of Voting".
In the words of Wang Zhongjun: We are not afraid of losing money and making a profit.
Of course I’m not afraid, it’s all on the news network.
When Lin Nan arrived at the scene, he was shocked by the formation.
It feels like attending a film festival.
There are more than two hundred celebrity artists alone.
Even Fan Bingbing, who left Huayi, came.
Zhang Guoli, Zhao Benshan, Zhang Jizhong...
Almost all the actors from Feng Xiaogang's previous movies are here.
"Director Lin, please come in quickly."
Everyone who saw Lin Nan coming and going greeted him warmly.
Ning Hao was surrounded by Li Bingbing, Ren Quan and others, while Jiang Wen was talking to Ge You.
Lin Nan also saw Lu Chuan, flanked by Fan Wei and Gao Yuanyuan...
"Director Lin, I can actually try singing the song "Drawing Heart" "I sang."
Wearing a burgundy dress, Zhou Xun looked very white and said with a smile.
“Forget it, your smoky voice is not suitable for this song.
It was so good in the past. I also listened to your "Piao Yao". Why didn't you protect it? "
Lin Nan complained.
"Haha, you have heard of my songs. They are not bad, and you have an appreciation level. "
Zhou Xun smiled wildly, attracting the attention of many people around him.
A lot of strange eyes were staring at this side, and Lin Nan felt a little awkward, so he reminded ：
"Image, lady..."
"Okay, okay, I have always been straightforward, everyone in the circle knows it.
My voice was fine at the beginning, but I have become a bit wild in the past few years. It can't be saved. "It's..."
Lin Nan felt that Zhou Xun was just tough-talking.
The premiere performance begins.
Li Bingbing sang the ending theme of "A World Without Thieves".
Huang Xiaoming performed the song "See You or See You", and his singing skills were average.
Even Huayi's newly signed "Good Man" group came up and looked familiar.
……
The movie begins.
No wonder Hua Yi and Feng Xiaogang swear by it.
This film is really well shot, with big scenes of war scenes.
The two-hour movie ended soon.
Many people are still immersed in the video just now.
The performances by Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao are outstanding.
During the interview session, "Assembly Number" will inevitably be compared with "The Letter of Voting" to talk about things.
“If we talk about the content of the movie, I don’t think ours is worse than those there. They just have a bigger cast.
As for the box office, it seems a bit false for me to say this. There are many directors, why not ask them to make predictions."
Almost all directors have given an estimate of more than 100 million. After all, there is "The Movie" in the front and "Yangtze River No. 7" in the back. , are all tough battles.
“I think “Assembly” will be in the 200 million club soon.”
Talking about the matter, Lin Nan cannot deny how exciting this movie is.
Many people couldn't believe it when they heard Lin Nan's words. Are you so sure?
"Okay, Chenglin guides Jiyan."
Wang Zhonglei was the first to speak, with a facial expression smile.
…………
"Assembly Number" was officially released, so much so that the box office of "Report" was directly cut in half.
The two movies shared almost 90% of the market.
The remuneration of the actors in "The Proposal" was revealed by Chen Kexin on the talk show.
A movie with a cost of 40 million US dollars was equivalent to 300 million US dollars at that time.
And Li Lianjie took away 100 million directly. This was still the friendship price, and the remuneration was less than 20 million.
In addition, Andy Lau, Kim Sung-wu, etc. all have tens of millions in salary, and the proportion of actors' fees in this movie exceeds 50%, not counting Chen Kexin's fees.
After the movie’s box office exceeded 100 million, it seemed like it was wilting.
Looking back at "Assembly", it has great stamina.
“There’s no need to wait for the result, “The Letter of Voting” will definitely suffer a loss.
Of course, the only loser is the producer.”
Lin Nan knew who Chen Kexin was. He spent 100 million on those tattered costume props. Who would believe it?
A joint anti-piracy announcement was posted on major news websites.
Lin Nan even felt that China Film and the others were beginning to prepare a way out for "The Letter of Contribution".
For example: Is it losing money because of too many piracy?
But the large number of negative reviews cannot be covered up at all.
The aesthetic motivation is insufficient, the plot and script are weak, and the war scenes lose points...
...
Han Sanping took the time to find Lin Nan and complained about the domestic box office of "Twilight". This made the latter couldn't help but laugh.
Cai Yinong’s call came to Lin Nan.
"Director Lin, we are ready to start the project for "Sword and Sword III".
According to the previous contract, you own 40% of the investment, but you cannot interfere in the creation. "
"Well, I will send someone to Tangren to sign the investment agreement later. "
"There is one more thing I want to ask Director Lin. "
"What happened? "
"Daewoo hopes to invite Yifei, even for a guest appearance. Can Director Lin help? ”
With Liu Yifei's current celebrity position, Cai Yinong knew that she couldn't afford to hire her, and the other party also said that she would no longer act in TV series.
But she still wanted to give it a try, even if it was a guest scene.
"Mr. Cai, please don't open your mouth about this kind of thing. Yifei will not consider participating in starring roles or guest appearances."
Lin Nan said with an unquestionable tone.
"I, I understand. Director Lin, please send someone over as soon as possible."
