Chapter 212 Two press conferences
Lin Nan began to go in and out of Nortel for post-editing of "Hunting".
Many teachers from the college, out of curiosity, come over to take a look from time to time.
Among all the graduates of the directing department, Lin Nan’s works are undoubtedly the ones that receive the most attention.
Outside, although "Ip Man" has only been released for a few days, its reputation and box office are really good.
Yang Shoucheng had previously thought about promoting feelings about family and country.
Lin Nan suggested that he lower his attitude and just call it a popcorn-style kung fu movie.
The audience of commercial films does not need you to instill ideas into them. They have their own ability to discern.
Don’t be like the Zhuan family who always teaches others how to behave.
……
The entertainment industry is realistic.
Zhen Zidan came specially to thank Lin Nan.
He can already clearly feel the benefits this movie has brought to him.
Quotations for commercial performances and endorsements are constantly rising.
The agent team even told him that this movie is very likely to help him get promoted to the front line.
Moreover, Ying Huang revealed a long time ago that "Ip Man" can be made into a series.
So the top priority is to establish a good relationship with Lin Nan.
Promoting to the front line does not mean that you will always be in the front line.
And even front-line actors and stars have status differences.
"Ip Man" appeared at Nortel, but attracted a lot of attention.
Lin Nan felt that he must have made many drafts before coming.
With a smile on his face, Zhen Zidan thanked Lin Nan for giving him the opportunity to star in "Ip Man".
But this is obviously Ying Huangding’s role.
"Director Lin, if there are still movies later, just say it, I will be there when you call..."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Lin Nan could hear it. What this means is, isn't it the sequel to "Ip Man"?
"Well, it depends on fate."
Lin Nan was perfunctory.
Zhen Zidan crossed Yinghuang and came directly to him. This behavior seemed very smart, but in fact it was a bit stupid. What did Yang Shoucheng think?
After the others left, Lin Nan continued editing "Hunting".
——
China Film Group has announced its most important film projects for next year.
The gift film, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".
“This film will be directed by Chairman Han Sanping himself. It has been in preparation for a long time and involves nearly 200 celebrity characters.”
Everyone with a discerning eye can see that "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" has a unique character. general special meaning.
Zero pay!
I don’t know who took the initiative, but all the actors and stars spontaneously expressed their wish and were just waiting for the casting notice from China Film.
Lin Nan received a call from Han Sanping in the editing room.
"I originally wanted to ask you to direct a few short clips, but in the end I decided against it.
Zhang Yi from your company can join in and play a role."
Lin Nan also asked why he "forget it"?
The answer made him feel a little funny. Some old people said that he was too young to handle such a scene...
"Old man?"
Lin Nan knew that it was an association or a film festival without even thinking about it. Those people are really old antiques.
Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Chen Kexin and others have accepted the invitation and will join the director team, led by Han Sanping.
Originally Zhang Yimou was also invited.
As a result, Zhang Weiping directly rejected China Film without consulting the former.
Lin Nan estimated that Zhang Weiping most likely refused because of the zero pay.
Among the producers in the industry, no one is more stingy and desperate for money than him.
"If You Are the One" may have felt the pressure from the upcoming "Red Cliff", so it actually held its premiere several days in advance.
Lin Nan and "The Martian" are inevitable topics.
"This return to the Lunar New Year period is still the comedy that I am good at.
In terms of box office, I dare not say that it will surpass Director Lin's "The Martian", but it is still somewhat confident that it will follow closely."
Feng Xiaogang's sworn speech was quickly reported, and the publicity effect was greatly improved.
…………
“What does he want to do?”
Yang Shoucheng asked with a frosty expression.
"Ip Man" is completely popular. The plot is not sloppy, the fighting is clean and neat, and it combines national justice and feelings of family and country.
These are all spontaneous comments from online netizens.
Yang Shoucheng was glad that he listened to Lin Nan and did not take the initiative to say this during publicity.
Now it seems that the effect is even better.
It was just Zhen Zidan's behavior of going to Lin Nan that made him very angry. There is a feeling of betrayal.
"The people on his team just said they were there to thank me..."
"Thank you? Why didn't you see him come to thank me?
Knock it on, let's They know that some things cannot break the rules."
Yang Shoucheng ordered.
Huo Wenxi nodded and thought of something again.
"Director Jiang Wen said that the script needs to be polished for a while, and this time he wants to use big-name stars."
"Does that mean the cost will be very high?"
Yang Shoucheng asked and thought for a while, "Go and tell him, it's fine within 150 million.
No matter how high it is, unless he can help me earn back 380 million."
Huo Wenxi smiled when he heard this.
Thinking to himself, Director Yang is still thinking about "The Martian". But the profit from that movie was really scary.
……
The Berlin Film Festival has announced the first batch of shortlists for the main competition unit.
"Mei Lanfang" is ranked first.
The attention of the circle instantly focused on Chen Kaige.
Thinking about his interview some time ago, it seems that the Golden Bear Award is indeed just around the corner.
"What do you think of me playing Meng Xiaodong?"
Liu Yifei popped Lin Nan's head and asked him to answer this question head-on.
"Probably, it's okay..."
Lin Nan tried to act as sincerely as possible. "You lied."
"You can see this?"
"You really lied to me." Liu Yifei glared at Lin Nan, and she lied .
Lin Nan is speechless, do all women have this kind of talent?
"How many awards did Zhang Ziyi win? She has been training for half a year to play Meng Xiaodong."
"I can do it too." Liu Yifei said without thinking.
"Just practice for a few more years, and I will prepare a literary or feature film for you."
Lin Nan made a bold promise.
“Really?” the girl asked excitedly.
"Well, really."
"Muma, this is your reward."
"Haha, why not dance?"
"What dance?" Liu Yifei was a little confused.
"Let's play "Tianzhu Girl"!"
"Ah? I learned that all when I was a kid..."
——
"If You Are the One" was released with great anticipation.
On the first day, it grabbed 15 million box office from the popular "Ip Man" and Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang".
And the daily box office is still rising.
20 million on the second day, 25 million on the third day, 22 million on the fourth day...
The box office exceeded 80 million in the four days of the first weekend.
The film and television industry seems to have seen again the scenes of Feng's comedies sweeping the Lunar New Year festival in those years.
At the same time, "Mei Lanfang" was completely released and became the highest-grossing domestic literary film with 114 million.
The box office growth of "Ip Man" has been almost cut in half, and it is struggling to reach 100 million box office, just a little bit away.
"The box office of "If You Are the One" is expected to exceed that of "Red Cliff".
""Mars" still maintains the first-day record and first-weekend record..."
Lin Nan saw the evaluation of "If You Are the One".
When it comes to inserting advertisements, it has to be Feng Xiaogang.
Netizens summed it up well: Advertisement + Crosstalk + Sketch = "If You Are the One".
Not to mention, many people in the industry agree with this view online.
Feng Xiaogang has indeed captured the audience's psychology and knows what they want to see.
The editing of "Hunting" is progressing very quickly. Lin Nan felt that it would be no problem to finish the post-production process within half a month.
“Tiantian?”
Outside the editing room, Lin Nan saw Jingtian.
"Brother Lin."
The girl walked over with a smile on her face.
"The acting department has exams today, so I stopped by to see Brother Lin."
"Come in."
The door of the editing room, Lin Nan thought about it. It's better to leave it open in the end.
"The Legend of Sun Tzu" will hold a launch press conference at the end of the month, and Jing Tian is here to invite Lin Nan.
Lu Zheng, the leading star of "The Martian" before, had all sent invitations for her, but Lin Nan was the only one who wanted to say it herself.
“They all agreed?”
“Well, Brother Xiao Ming said they would all come.” Jing Tian quickly replied.
Lin Nan nodded.
Thinking about it, Lu Zheng is also a star-studded boss, and Huang Xiaoming and the others will definitely give him face.
For a film and television company that can invest tens of millions to make TV series, isn’t this just a matter of connections?
Lin Nan has a headache. There is also "Sword and Sword III" waiting for him to set a time over there.
"Okay, I'll be there then. How was your exam today?"
Hearing Lin Nan's affirmative reply, Jing Tian smiled and nodded.
"The test was okay. The teachers gave him a top grade."
Lin Nan didn't ask in detail. If he could give Jing Tian a good grade, the test should not be about performance.
After chatting for a while, Lin Nan began to continue working.
The girl hesitated a little, but finally said: "Brother Lin, I'll leave first. Goodbye."
"Yes."
Jingtian looked back three times at a time, walked out, and gently closed the door.
After a long time, Lin Nan looked back and sighed.
He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
Cai Yinong is in a meeting, and has just chosen Liu Shishi as the actress that the company will focus on in the future.
The phone vibrated suddenly, and he was about to turn it off subconsciously, but after glancing at the caller ID, Cai Yinong made a wait gesture and walked out of the conference room with his phone.
"Director Lin, has the time been set?"
"Yes, Mr. Cai. You can schedule the final press conference for the 25th. I have time that day."
"Okay. , no problem.”
After Lin Nan finished talking about the business, he hung up.
Cai Yinong stepped on high heels and returned to the office.
"The final press conference of "Sword and Sword III" is scheduled for the 25th. Remember not to accept activities for Hu Ge and Shi Shi during those two days.
In addition, this matter can be announced to the outside world. The media and artists who should be invited Send invitations to everyone in the industry.
Director Lin Nan will also be there.”
Everyone here immediately cheered up. They have been waiting for this time, and now they are finally here. It’s settled.
They can’t guarantee that the popularity of “Sword and Sword III” will be as popular as “Sword and Sword I”, but the former will definitely be a hit.
.........
In less than half an hour, Yang Mi, Tang Yan and others received the news.
"Director Lin will come too?!"
During this period, Yang Mi has been thinking about the last phone call.
Although Hu Ge said that Lin Nan no longer cared, she felt that she still had to take advantage of this final press conference to have a good relationship with Lin Nan, even if it was for future career...
