Chapter 250 Inviting Liu Dehua, "Source Code" is released
"You say it again?"
Lin Nan looked at Lu Yang with a gloomy face.
“Haha, Director Lin, am I wrong?
Look, the heroine has a cold temperament and is untainted by mud. Isn’t this very suitable for Yifei?”
Lin Nan said nothing and continued to look gloomy.
This guy auditioned just for the audition, and he actually set his sights on the producer Liu Yifei.
Lu Yang looked at Lin Nan and smiled cheekily.
"Don't worry, I will pay attention to all Yifei's scenes during the filming.
There will never be any dangerous scenes or slightly intimate scenes..."
"Stop, stop, stop, have you ever thought about Yifei's current status? Is she suitable for this role? And this is an open audition role, what do you want outsiders to think?"
Lin Nan He retorted angrily.
Lu Yang was stopped by Lin Nan's words. Yes, he really forgot to consider this matter.
In his opinion, Liu Yifei is very suitable for this role.
Although the role may be a bit small, Liu Yifei is half a producer and should have no problem acting in her own drama.
As a result, Lin Nan's words made Lu Yang sober up.
He forgot that Liu Yifei's job is to be an actor, and an actor's status is a very important thing. If he lets Liu Yifei play this role, it will also bring hatred to Liu Yifei.
…………
“Lin, “Eclipse” is about to be released, do you really not care at all?”
Tom’s phone call reminded Lin Nan of about this matter.
The third part of "The Twilight Saga" is also about to be released, next to "Source Code".
"I won't go there this time. Just keep an eye on it. There's also the matter of "Now You See Me"..."
Lin Nan arranged it in just a few words, and the fan movie was ready. The potential in those ten days or so is nothing to worry about.
"Okay then, the profit this time is still to buy equipment?"
"Yes. There are also those who studied in the past. If they are almost done, we will arrange to send them back."
"Yes, I will."
Hang up the phone, Lin Nan continued to think about casting issues.
The people he wants to cooperate with, including Andy Lau and Jackie Chan, are all under his consideration this time.
But schedule is a problem. For this kind of cafe, the schedule is usually very full.
"It's better to wait until the investment is settled first. Each one is quite expensive." Lin Nan muttered.
Still in China Film Academy.
In the past, when Wanda participated in the investment of Lin Nan’s films, all the people involved were people from theater companies.
Now that the film company has been established, that part of the business has been transferred, including those in charge.
"Director Lin, thank you for the opportunity. To be honest, it has been almost two months since the film and television company was established, and this is still the first big project..."
The people in Wanda don't look like that. lie. That's right, ordinary directors don't have the opportunity to touch projects with investment costs of hundreds of millions.
This time there is no light and no upper shadow.
The former is preparing several movies at the same time and cannot spare the funds. The latter... Han Sanping feels that there are enough people...
"You said you want big-name actors this time. Anyone who is interested No?"
"For this kind of subject, my first consideration is Jackie Chan, followed by Andy Lau. In fact, Liang Jiahui and others are also on my list.
In addition, mainland actors, I also want to find some mature characters, including female characters..."
Lin Nan spoke calmly, and the people from Han Sanping and Wanda listened very seriously.
This intended cast sounds reliable.
“What about the budget?”
The people from Wanda asked, not afraid of heights, but worried about lows.
“It’s between 100 million and 200 million. The main thing is that this is a group drama, and the actors will be paid a lot. Since a few big names have not been decided, the budget is difficult to determine.
I even have the idea of letting one or two big-name actors share the box office share. ”
Hearing Lin Nan’s words, the two people on the opposite side frowned.
China is not as good as Hollywood, where it is quite common to get splits, but in China, producers are still very traditional. .
Especially Lin Nan's commercial films are likely to make money.
This makes the two of them even less willing to see anyone else come to share the cake.
"How about Jackie Chan?"
Han Sanping asked.
He knows the price of Jackie Chan. This is not a Hollywood movie. You can sell a lot of money on video tapes.
"Looking back, I will ask someone to contact him first to see. It is indeed not as good as before, and the country is not the same as abroad."
Lin Nan said something, and he meant something.
Throughout the morning, the three parties discussed a rough distribution plan.
China Film 30%, Wanda 30%, Lin Nan 40%.
In addition, China Film’s share includes publicity and distribution work; Wanda also needs to provide theater film arrangement support.
China Film and Wanda are both a bit resistant to giving actors a share of the box office, so Lin Nan can only let it go.
——
The next day, Liu Yifei told Lin Nan that Lu Yang apologized to her.
It was said that I was too careless before and actually wanted to ask her to play Zhou Miaotong.
"Actually, I really wanted to agree at first."
Liu Yifei tilted her head and said.
“After all, this character’s life experience is quite miserable. After being a loyal minister, he was wrongly admitted to the Jiaofang Division. He had no control over his fate, like a duckweed in troubled times, but he was clean and behaved...”
Blah blah blah, Liu Yifei said a long list, the sensibility of an artistic girl is vividly reflected.
"Your identity is no longer suitable for playing this kind of role." Lin Nan said.
"Yes, I know. Mom also told me not to be stupid, hehe."
Liu Yifei knew that if she played this role, she would lose a bit of her status. The brands I endorse will all have opinions.
After all, Lu Yang is just a young director.
"As a producer, I have to give you a salary. How about investing in it?" Lin Nan said softly.
…………“Hello, Lin Nan?”
“Brother Hua, it’s me. Do you have any dates soon?”
“Haha , you called me and asked, what kind of script is it?”
...
Lu Yang announced part of the casting situation for "Xiu Chun Dao".
"The heroine is still under consideration and will be announced later..."
The sharp-eyed media discovered the name of "Xiu Chun Knife" in the film bureau's registration form Change information.
Originally, there was only Lin Nan Pictures in the producer column, but now there is an additional Hongxingwu.
The meaning of this is self-evident.
At the same time, news came out that Lin Nan was going to start a new movie.
“According to reliable information, the new movie directed by Lin Nan is undergoing script review.”
Many companies in the industry came to inquire about the news.
According to Lin Nan's instructions, Yue Jun gave a positive reply.
Now, whether in the circle or online, there is more attention and discussion.
Many actors are a little lucky that they were not selected by Lin Nan Pictures for the previous few films.
Now, maybe you can try your luck.
“According to Director Lin’s habit, after a film has passed the awards competition, it should be a commercial film!”
“Director Lin Nan does have this habit!”
"I wonder what type of commercial film it is?"
"I'm curious, Director Lin didn't let Liu Yifei act in his new film."
......
Lin Nan also Read the reviews online.
In "Thieves Alliance", there is indeed a female thief who shows off her figure.
But that role would be best played by a mature, seductive actress between 27 and 35 years old.
Liu Yifei has read the script. This role also involves seduction. She is not suitable anywhere.
Of the big names that Lin Nan was interested in, only Andy Lau agreed to his invitation on the spot and even said that the salary would be easy to negotiate.
In fact, Lin Nan can accept Liu Dehua's salary.
Jackie Chan said that he should think about it. Sometimes he can’t accept whatever he wants.
Lin Nan understands that. A slight change in the pay will affect a lot of things.
......
After all, "The Hunt" is an award-winning film, but with a box office of 68 million, China Film Group definitely did not lose.
"Source Code" did not hold any premiere and was released directly on November 1st.
Guo Fan is a little irritable. I walked around the company and finally went to the cinema.
Lin Nan didn't even care about the release of "Eclipse" and was also waiting for the data from "Source Code".
This movie, if we put aside the fact that Guo Fan is a novice director. Just because the screenwriter is Lin Nan, and the post-production and special effects are all heavenly, it is still competitive.
The next day, box office data came from China Film.
"Director Lin, how many?" Guo Fan asked anxiously.
"Well, not bad, 6.23 million on the first day." Lin Nan said with a smile.
After Guo Fan heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“According to this first-day data, if there are no big surprises, the final box office should be around 50,000 to 60,000,000.”
“Really?”
< br>"Almost."
Guo Fan knows Lin Nan's strength, which means that his first movie is made!
Half a day later, the first-day box office data of "Source Code" also appeared online.
“With 6.23 million on the first day, Nortel director Guo Fan won the first battle!”
“This is Director Lin, the first new director trained from scratch, awesome! ”
…
The online reviews of "Source Code" are very good, mainly focusing on the creativity and imagination of the script.
The official website of the Film School has already reported on Guo Fan. After all, the latter is still a first-year graduate student.
There is a saying that goes well, if students achieve good results, it must be the credit of the school and tutors!
"You just signed it at the beginning of the year, right? Now you have results?!"
Many teachers and professors in the college were shocked.
But Lin Nan’s method of cultivating newcomers cannot be learned in schools. I spent real money to practice on the project, and the teachers and professors were still waiting in line.
More and more people are coming to inquire about Lin Nan's new movie.
Actors who have worked with him before are also included.
Huang Xiaoming, Hu Jun, Chen Minghao...
"In two days, I will send out a casting notice. If you think it is suitable, come and try..."
For old acquaintances, there is nothing to say about submitting resumes.
Yue Jun posted a message on the company's Weibo account.
“Welcome Mr. Liu Dehua to join the new film directed by Lin Nan.”
When this news came out, the circle became even more lively.
The first actor chosen was someone like Andy Lau!
Many people instantly remembered Lin Nan’s filming habits.
Then this new movie will most likely be a commercial film, and it will be a commercial film with a large investment scale.
Immediately afterwards, China Film and Wanda announced that they would participate in the production of Lin Nan's new movie.
A large number of actors are eager to audition, waiting for news about casting.
