Chapter 204 Special Effects Company
On the 29th, the weather was sunny and sunny.
Outside the General Assembly Hall, nearly a hundred media outlets gathered, and cameras were densely packed.
Since nine o'clock in the morning, the guests on the red carpet have not stopped.
There is an endless stream of first- and second-tier stars, and major film and television companies gather.
"Is that Liu Dehua?"
"Yes."
When Hu Ge and others arrived, they saw a group of people from Hong Kong entering the venue.
Yang Shoucheng, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Liang Jiahui...
Cars stopped and drove away one after another.
Wang Zhongjun led Hua Yi and others onto the red carpet.
Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Hanyu, Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, Deng Chao...
Xie Nan and Liu Yan who have participated in "Painted Skin".
Jiang Wen, Jia Zhangke, Gu Changwei, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Ning Hao...
There are also many directors in the industry today, because there are very few people in China making such hard-core science fiction. Everyone is very interested in this.
People kept walking on the red carpet and entering the auditorium. There were more people inside, including many foreigners.
…………
Liu Yifei and Shu Chang dressed young and beautiful, attracting a lot of attention when they walked into the auditorium.
“Lin Nan and the others haven’t arrived yet?”
“The crew must have arrived last.”
Liu Yifei explained. In fact, Lin Nan set off earlier than them and should be somewhere else at the moment.
As Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, Wang Changtian and other big bosses from the production side entered the venue, the venue was even more crowded, with constant greetings.
Outside, Lin Nan and seven members of the crew went on the red carpet.
Chen Baoguo said that he only made a cameo appearance and did not follow along. Instead, he entered the auditorium in advance.
Jing Tian’s heart was beating fast. It was her first time walking on the red carpet with Lin Nan. This movie would also be her most eye-catching resume.
The media's cameras flashed crazily, and a large number of movie fans gathered outside.
Entering the venue, everyone looked at the crew.
“Director Lin, I wish you a great box office sale, haha.”
“Director Lin, it’s up to you.”
…………
The premiere officially begins.
Today’s seating is also very strict.
The first and second rows are the space agency, the film bureau, several major film groups, a number of film and television companies, and major directors.
The third and fourth rows are the first-tier and above celebrity artists, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau and others.
Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were placed in the third row, next to Zhou Xun and others.
Hu Ge, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, etc. are very far behind.
Many people will pay attention to this seat. What it means is obvious.
"Why haven't you seen that person before? He's sitting in the second row?" Yang Mi asked in a low voice.
“You must be ignorant, that’s director Wen Tsai-ren.” Hu Ge joked.
"The one at the Lion Gate?" Tang Yan reacted instantly.
"It's him."
Yang Mi nodded and looked forward again.
In the third row, the youngest ones are Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, as well as the young Jing Tian on the stage.
Yang Mi felt that she was no worse than them. Looking at Tang Yan next to her, she even had more film resources than herself. Rong Xinda really couldn't stay any longer.
"Everyone will know in a moment that I was really asked by Director Lin Nan to plant potatoes. He asked for the most realistic scene..."
Hu Jun took the microphone and talked about his "sad journey". He packed up the bags of potatoes and took them back to eat, without wasting any of them.
The interviews with Zeng Li, Liu Ye, Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Yi were also much smoother.
When arriving at Jingtian, the little girl might indeed be a little excited.
"I am very grateful and grateful to Brother Lin Nan for giving me this opportunity. I was clumsy on the set and everyone took good care of me. Brother Lin Nan taught me a lot..."
Most The important part is the movie screening.
The landscape of Hongya is perfect for shooting Mars themes.
Everyone at the scene began to stare at the big screen intently.
The plot unfolds. The members of the Mars team encountered a storm, and Hu Jun, a botanist, was accidentally left behind.
A self-rescue Mars farming operation has begun.
“Can you still play like this?”
"The visual effects are amazing..."
There started to be discussions below, and people from the space agency and the film bureau were nodding and exchanging words.
"Can we do this? Let's forget it..."
Although many film and television companies think "The Martian" is shocking, they have no desire to do it themselves. The cycle is too It is too long and costly, and it is unknown whether it will succeed, so it is not cost-effective.
Many directors smiled and shook their heads, saying they couldn't do something like this. Lin Nan was really awesome this time.
When the two-hour movie ended, the front row was the first to applaud.
The person from the film bureau picked up the microphone.
“Everyone here is in the film and television industry, and we also hope that everyone can produce more high-quality movies and commercial blockbusters.
Big-budget science fiction movies like "The Martian" have a great impact on the film and television industry. It is very beneficial
If any company is willing to continue to explore this field, the Film Bureau must be encouraging and supportive..."
Many people are still immersed in the movie just now, the vast expanse of space, the gorgeous and stunning special effects...
All the filmmakers are envious of "The Martian" in front of them. If everyone can do it, then That's another matter.
This kind of project cannot be done just by saying that you support it. You have to have that courage. If you do it improperly, you will definitely lose your life.
And when it comes to special effects, we can only send money abroad. "Lin Nan's movie is really amazing. It took two years to make it."
Shu Chang whispered to Liu Yifei.
"That's natural, hehe."
......
The main creator was interviewed again, and this time he said more.
"Director Lin, what are your expectations for the box office of this movie?"
This question made everyone at the scene prick up their ears.
“To be honest, this project was rushed to the shelves at the beginning. But now that it has been completed, at the box office, we hope that it will be worthy of the two years of hard work and set a new record.”
Lin Nan said with a smile, and the following applauded again.
"New record? Hasn't Director Lin ever considered the issue of repayment? After all, the current record is only 20 million higher than the cost of "The Martian.""
"Before, we We plan to announce the copyright transaction price of "The Martian" at the premiere, and I will tell you about it now."
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the film and television company became energetic. This is what they are most concerned about during this time.
“At the beginning of the month, we took the movie to Venice, and the European and North American rights were traded. The total transaction price was US$55 million.
We The cost has been recovered."
Lin Nan said firmly with a smile on his face.
Looking at the shocked expressions of those in the audience, Han Sanping was very satisfied.
"Excuse me, Director Lin, how much did the film's pre-roll ads cost?"
"The total cost of the two in-film ads was just 90 million..."
Many people began to gasp. Angry, it's like saying that "The Martian" has already made more than 100 million even before it's released!
Banquet time.
Lin Nan was surrounded on three levels, inside and outside, asking all about special effects.
Liu Yifei saw that Lin Nan was very busy, so she didn't bother him.
“I’m going to build a company and slowly develop my own people.”
“A special effects company?”
“Yes.”
Everyone There was something wrong with the way Lin Nan looked at her, like she was looking at a fool.
"Director Lin, this kind of thing is not like making a movie. Our foundation is too poor. We have to spend a lot of money to support people for a long time, and the results are completely unpredictable..."
Lin Nan can see it. , these film companies have no intention of doing their own special effects. They think it is good as it is now.
I won’t speculate anymore.
Liu Dehua came over with a wine glass.
"Director Lin, the movie is great. You should have told me about it at that time. What a pity."
Liu Dehua looked regretful.
"Brother Hua, you're so polite. I still have a long future."
"Yes, then I will wait for Director Lin's film appointment."
As he said After speaking, Liu Dehua raised his cup and the two touched it.
Lin Nan felt like he was about to be relieved. "The Martian" had pressed him for two years. After the movie was released, he would never touch science fiction again in the short term. The pressure was too much.
From a distance, Lin Nan saw Wen Ziren surrounded by a bunch of domestic actors, including Yang Mi. These people were too enterprising.
Liu Yifei and Shu Chang seemed to be chatting with Guang Guang.
News on the Internet are already being updated.
"The copyright of "The Martian" has been sold well, and there is no pressure to repay the capital."
"It has not been released yet, and the profit has exceeded 100 million..."
This premiere was a success, and the news that leaked out can better arouse the audience's desire to watch the movie.
When the show was about to end, Lin Nan and Wen Ziren bumped heads.
"Happy Death Day 2" is still divided according to the proportions of the previous one, and the latter can go to Tom to sign an agreement.
It’s still very tiring at the end of the day.
Lin Nan leaned on a chair in the garden and petted the cat.
Liu Yifei handed over a glass of orange juice, "Let's add some vitamins..."
"Thank you."
"How is it? Is it sweet, brother Lin Nan?"
murderous look!
Send a proposition!
…………
The next day, a lot of news about "The Martian" dominated the headlines.
Netizens are discussing how long it will take for this movie to erase the record of the bad movie "Red Cliff".
The biggest concern in the industry is Lin Nan’s intention to set up a special effects company.
Some supported it and some watched it, but the vast majority still thought Lin Nan was a bit self-righteous and too ambitious.
If good directors and film and television company owners don't do it, why bother with special effects?
“You really have this idea?”
“Well, I had it a long time ago. I think it’s time for China to take this matter seriously. We can’t always look to foreign countries for the special effects of blockbusters. .
The more large-scale commercial films, such as "Painted Skin" and "The Martian", the more special effects they will have.
The domestic market will definitely get better and better in the future, won't it? Are you working for someone else? ”
Han Sanping nodded, Lin Nan's words indeed made sense.
“Then just do it. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. People say I am overbearing, but China Film will definitely support this kind of thing that is really good for the industry.”
"Well, thank you, Director Han."
If nothing else, Han Sanping has never been vague about the development of the film industry.
Major theater chains have begun to prepare for the release of movies, and "The Martian" on the 1st is the top priority.
As one of the producers, Wanda has increased the film scheduling rate of "Mars" to 50%. Of course, this is done in private.
As state-owned enterprises, China Film and Shanghai Film and Television cannot do this, but they still carried out "micro-management".
