Chapter 260 Schedule Selection
Lin Nan agreed to invest part of it, not because of how good the script was, but because of favors and face.
In terms of script, "The Robbery" is not as good as the previous "No Man's Land" and "Racing".
The former was even born out of "No Man's Land".
Lin Nan could see that Ning Hao and Xing Ai wrote the script with emotions.
With the same theme, since those people say "No Man's Land" is not in line with values, then give them "The Heist" with a positive ending.
......
Within two days, news spread that Ning Hao was preparing a new movie.
I heard that many production companies and management paid a visit to Bad Monkey. The specific results are unknown.
Lin Nan, Guo Fan, Lu Yang, Xu Zheng and others continued to stay in Tiangong Color.
Xu Zhengyou has a similar idea to Lu Yang, that is, he hopes that "People on the Road" can be moved to the summer release.
Several people hope that the movies they direct will have good results.
“You should first finish the post-production with peace of mind, and then we will talk about whether these are available or not.”
Lin Nan is confident in himself. If "The Thief" is finalized, there should be many movies Consider avoiding the former.
But Xu Zheng, Lu Yang, and Xue Xiaolu may not have this kind of treatment, and there may even be movies dedicated to them.
"Director Zhang's "Three Guns" was shortlisted for the Golden Bear Award?"
Guo Fan saw a piece of news and exclaimed softly.
Berlin has announced the final shortlist of competition units, and Zhang Yimou's "Three Guns" is on the list.
Not to mention the quarrel online, Lin Nan found it incredible.
But when he thought about the 60th anniversary of Berlin this year, he understood.
This shortlisted spot is most likely not for "Three Guns", but for Zhang Yimou.
The relationship between Berlin and Zhang Yimou is quite deep.
Sure enough, only half a day later, Zhang Yimou’s short video to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Berlin Film Festival appeared on the official website of the Berlin Film Festival.
Humanity can be seen everywhere.
News about great directors always attracts the attention of the media and the industry.
Here Zhang Yimou is busy casting for "The Hawthorn Tree", and over there Chen Kaige takes the initiative to announce new movie information to the media.
If it is not made public, everything will be ready once it is made public.
"Director Chen Kaige's new work, the costume historical blockbuster "The Orphan of Zhao", has completed the final casting and will start shooting today."
""The Orphan of Zhao" has a strong cast, including Ge You and Wang Xueqi , Zhang Fengyi, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing, Hai Qing..."
"Director Chen’s youngest son will guest star..."
"At the same time, director Chen Kaige will adapt the island country's fantasy novel: "Kukai Sramana: The Ghost Banquet of the Tang Dynasty"..."
The media has reported positively on Chen Kaige's new movie, and even used the word model worker to describe it he.
Most netizens did not buy it. "The Promise" and "Steamed Buns" were once again brought up to talk about it, and it was also extended to the photo scandal...
To be honest, Lin Nan didn't pay attention to it. "The Orphan of Zhao" by Chen Kaige.
But if we meet at the same time, he will definitely not be weak.
Furthermore, I heard that Chen Kaige wrote the script this time, so there is nothing to worry about.
......
The editing speed in the later stages of "The Thief" was the fastest. After all, it was Lin Nan and Guo Fan.
The second one is "A Man on the Road" with the simplest plot.
But if you want to say which movie will be the first to complete post-production, there is a high probability that it will be "Unfortunate".
Because it does have the least plot, and unlike "Thieves" there are some special effects shots.
"Director Lin, it's up to you."
Lin Nan has to go to China Film Studio. His own "Thieves" doesn't matter, but for the other three movies, he really has to carefully choose the schedule.
China Film was also very busy during this period.
Avatar has put several state-owned enterprises at the forefront of pressure.
I heard that Han Sanping has cut many projects, and the funds will be given priority to large-scale productions, theater expansion, and equipment upgrades.
"Director Lin, what a coincidence."
Lin Nan was not surprised to see Huo Wenxi at China Film.
Yinghuang and China Film jointly established a brokerage company and a film and television company, and Huo Wenxi was the person in charge of Yinghuang.
"Well, what has Director Huo accomplished again?"
Lin Nan looked at the document bag in the other person's hand and asked curiously.
"We plan to launch a TV series, "The Legend of Nuwa: The Pearl", which involves the comeback of actors, so I came to report to Director Han."
Lin Nan nodded and said He had no impression of this show.
"Then I wish you a great success in this drama. I still have business to do..."
Huo Wenxi originally wanted to recommend actors, but now he couldn't open his mouth anymore.
"Then I won't disturb Director Lin."
Looking at Lin Nan's walking figure, Huo Wenxi thought thoughtfully. The casting of "Thieves" gave Ying Huang hope, but he was not sure whether Lin Nan would also accept other Hong Kong actors...
…………
“I guess Wait, you have to come here sooner or later."
Han Sanping glanced up, pointed to the sofa beside him, and continued to write something with his head down.
"I have to come. Those three movies are different from "Thieves"."
"Watch it for yourself. But I still suggest that you choose a good time for "Thieves"."
>Han Sanping took out a form and ignored Lin Nan.
The latter sat on the sofa and started browsing.
"Ocean Paradise", "My Beautiful Boss"... there are many familiar names. Lin Nan saw "The Great Earthquake" by Feng Xiaogang.
How should I put it? This kind of subject matter and its investors have an inherent advantage, and many people will be organized and enter the theater collectively...
This year’s domestic movies have become more and more popular. It will become more concentrated in the future, and many great directors have works.
Lin Nan thought about it carefully and decided to put "People on the Road in Embarrassment" at the end of June; "Embroidered Spring Knife" can be moved to August...
More than half an hour later, Han Sanping stopped what he was doing, and Lin Nan returned the form.
The former looked at it, raised his head and asked: "Why is there no "Thieves"?"
"I don't rush my movies, others will be more anxious than me." Lin Nan said with a smile.
"It makes sense, you are different from a few years ago, haha..."
After chatting with Han Sanping for a while, Lin Nan knew something.
Han Sanping declined the investment in "The Great Robbery" yesterday because "No Man's Land" is still an apparent bad debt.
"In a situation like this, I can't invest even if I want to, not to mention the group's capital direction has changed this year."
Han Sanping explained specifically.
"It seems that his budget should be much higher than that of previous movies..."
Lin Nan muttered. Ning Hao only asked him if he wanted 10 million, and he said he would pay less if he was cheated.
…………
Leave China Film and Television and return to the company.
After Xu Zheng got the accurate schedule, he speeded up the post-production again.
This is his first time as a director, and box office performance is very important, as it will determine how far he can go on this road in the future.
Xu Zheng is ready to do it several times after the film is completed to make sure it is perfect.
The same is true for Lu Yang. "Xiu Chun Knife" is his first theatrical movie...
Ning Hao called Lin Nan and asked the latter to come out to meet with other investors.
Lin Nan was very curious, which one would it be?
When he arrived at the agreed teahouse, he felt like fortune was playing tricks on people.
Ning Hao and Xing Aina were both there, and there was a woman beside them.
“Director Lin, it’s an honor to work with you this time.”
The other party stretched out his hand, and Lin Nan took it.
"Sit down quickly." Xing Aina greeted.
Lighting, upper shadow... Lin Nan had guessed many companies, but he missed Galloping Horse.
"Mr. Zhong promised not to interfere in the film production at all, and only sent one supervisor to the scene."
Ning Hao explained, and Zhong Lifang kept smiling beside him.
"I still don't know your budget?" Lin Nan complained.
"Haha, I was negligent. The budget this time is set at 50 million, 10 million for you and me, and 30 million for Xiao Ma..."
Lin Nan nodded. , he has no objection.
Originally, the investment was for the favor with Ning Hao. Whether it makes money or not is another matter.
Besides, even if he makes money, he doesn't think he can make much money. The script of "The Robbery" still doesn't break out of the circle of the previous movies.
After some conversation, Lin Nan discovered that Mr. Zhong was really good at talking.
She brought out Xiaoma's ideas and hoped to cooperate more often in the future. After the key said what he wanted to say, he didn't stay too long and left on the pretext that the company had other things to do...
"Do you think she is very measured? She has a good grasp of it?" Xing Aina picked up the tea cup and said, Said slowly.
Lin Nan nodded, that is indeed the case.
“This is also the reason why I chose her among so many companies.”
Ning Hao said with a serious face, completely unable to see the usual irregularity.
"Xiao Ma is new to the film industry. Even if I take the lion's share of the investment, I still have the initiative..."
Ning Hao's words are clear and logical, and it seems that he has indeed thought them through carefully.
…………
The script of "The Robbery" was sent to the film bureau.
The news that Xiao Ma will participate in the investment of Ning Hao's new movie spread quickly.
No one expected that this company, which had just been involved in the film production business for only one year, would get this opportunity.
"The script of the movie "Golden Heist" has been submitted for review."
"The new film directed by Ning Hao, investors include Bad Monkey, Lin Nan Pictures, Xiaoma..."< br>
Zhong Lifang is indeed a marketing professional. She took the initiative to reveal the news to the media, which attracted a lot of attention to Xiao Ma.
...
Yue Jun entered Lin Nan's office holding a document.
"Director Lin, the brokerage company's plan has been prepared."
Lin Nan took the document with a hint of expectation.
I hesitated before and waited for so long, but now the artist management business is finally settled.
"Director Lin, both new and established artists are required.
I plan to take people to visit the three major art schools in a few days."
Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, and then Nodding, "The art exam will start in a few days. You can definitely go and take a look. This is a good time to find someone new..."
Lin Nan spent more than half an hour watching Yue Jun's gift Come to the brokerage company plan. This plan is very comprehensive and detailed, and the latter must have taken a lot of thought.
“Well, okay, just do as you say...”
"Okay, Director Lin."
