Chapter 272 Box Office, Releases, Visits
Since Lin Nan made the decision to stop the "Ip Man" project, Ying Huang's press releases suddenly decreased a lot.
I won’t talk about the sequel anymore.
However, there is still heated discussion online and in the media, speculating when the third part will start filming.
At the same time, the box office of "Ip Man 2" successfully reached 200 million.
Then 205 million, 210 million...
Moving towards a higher box office little by little.
Donnie Yen's team, after offering Ying Huang a salary of 30 million, were confidently waiting for good news.
In their opinion, Yang Shoucheng may be very angry, but he will definitely accept it in the end.
After running announcements for several days, Donnie Yen and his agent remembered this matter.
"There's no reply yet?"
"Maybe we're still discussing it, it should only be a day or two."
The agent looks calm and indifferent, he has made a lot of money recently. Quite a few.
"We have to tell them to hurry up. Many media interviews are asking me about "Ip Man 3"."
Zhen Zishan nodded and said nothing. Take it seriously.
Similar to the agent's idea, he also felt that there would be no surprises in this matter.
“I’ll make a phone call later to urge them. There are so many dramas scheduled now, and if they don’t hurry up, it will be difficult for us to arrange the schedule by then, haha...”
“ Well, then go ahead and hurry up.”
…………
Lin Nan saw the news about the Cannes opening ceremony.
Among these domestic celebrities, Fan Bingbing is the only one who plays fancy and wears a "dragon robe" that attracts a lot of attention.
At the moment, the Internet is full of her red carpet photos, which are very topical.
"Director Lin, Guangguang said that the promotion of "People on the Road" can start." Yue Jun reminded.
“Go and inform Xu Zheng and the others to cooperate with the publicity.”
Lin Nan gave instructions.
He is not worried about publicity. With Xu Zheng's emphasis on "The Lost Road" and his own transformation and future, he will definitely work hard.
Xiying and Ningying completed the work of dressing up the props, and Wu Ershan was ready to start filming in advance.
Although there was no deliberate launch press conference, there were still many media who came to join in the fun.
"Painted Skin 2" started filming in a low-key manner today."
"All the actors have arrived..."
Yue Jun went to the scene on behalf of Lin Nan, and by the way reminded Xia Wu Ershan again, to mention Yang Mi's role as early as possible, and to complete it before July.
Lin Nan was driving Liu Yifei and the others to the airport.
“Auntie, Sissi, look for Tom after you get off the plane. He will bring someone to wait there.”
“Yes, I understand. I will only be there for three days. I’ll be back in three days.”
Liu Yifei in the passenger seat nodded.
Liu Xiaoli, who was in the back seat, felt very warm watching the two people interacting along the way.
"Super Body" will be released on July 1, and Liu Yifei had to rush there in advance to shoot the promotional video and posters.
Outside the airport, many reporters saw Liu Yifei and her party.
"No wonder Director Lin didn't go to the filming scene of "Painted Skin 2", he had other things to do with his relationship!"
"Calculating the time, they should be flying to Hollywood for "Super Body" Things.”
...
Liu Yifei let go of Lin Nan's hand.
“Am I going in?”
“Let’s go.”
It’s not a separation between life and death, Miss Liu suddenly became very emotional.
"Remember to pick up the plane when the time comes..."
Liu Yifei warned, and then followed Liu's mother and assistant to the departure hall.
Lin Nan smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to get in the car and go back, he saw several reporters surrounding him.
"Director Lin, Yifei is going on a business trip?"
"Well, I need to go over and shoot the promotional video for "Super Body"."
Lin Nan didn't hide anything.
Several reporters confirmed this conjecture and were very happy for a while. It was also a good news material.
"Director Lin, is "Ip Man 3" already in preparation? Donnie Yen was interviewed two days ago and said that there will be..."
Lin Nan shook his head , didn’t say much, and left after a few words.
“What does this mean? Are you making preparations or not?”
"Shake your head, maybe you haven't made preparations yet!"
…………
The car radio was talking about yesterday's news.
Dozens of large-scale high-end "entertainment venues" in the capital were raided at the same time. It was a big scene.
The press release was well written, especially the sentence: "There were many celebrities in the entertainment industry present", which was very interesting.
"Heaven and earth..."
Lin Nan muttered with a smile while driving.
…………
“Sister Mani, why do you want to stop this project?”
Donnie Yen’s agent asked in panic, she had a vague feeling A feeling of messing up.
On the other end of the phone, Huo Wenxi's tone was unusually cold. He just said not to contact her again and hung up the phone.
At this moment, the agent had a suspicion in his mind. Could it be the reason why he quoted ten times the price?
She admitted that she asked for 20 million more, but...
When Zhen Zidan heard Yinghuang's decision, his face turned ugly instantly.
He wants both fame and fortune.
The two "Ip Man" movies helped him stand firmly on the front line, but what about the three or four movies?
Sorry? Maybe a little. But he has no regrets.
The surge in his net worth during these days has given Zhen Zidan a feeling that he is worth this price!
"Just stop. We still have so many movie dates to choose from. Choosing some good scripts will be enough to push you to a top-tier position..."
Agent At this moment, the matter of "Ip Man" has been forgotten, and a smile is on his face again.
Zhen Zidan nodded. "That's right, I have no shortage of scripts now!"
"Maybe Yinghuang will come to us and ask for a raise in salary. Haha." The agent said casually.
…………
After more than 20 days of release, the box office of "Ip Man 2" in the mainland has reached 260 million.
After consultation between Lin Nan and Ying Huang, they decided to release it.
This is the first movie so far this year to have a box office of more than 200 million.
The celebration banquet is essential.
Zhen Zidan only showed up briefly and left the reception on the pretext of rushing to make an announcement.
Almost no one thinks much about it. After all, because of "Ip Man 2", this person is indeed very popular and has many announcements.
Ning Hao held the wine glass and ran to Lin Nan excitedly.
"You picked up money, are you so happy?"
"It's nothing. I just received an invitation from the Golden Horse, asking me to be one of the judges this year."
It's nothing when I say it, but my face I almost laughed out loud.
"Congratulations then."
Ning Hao waved his hand and talked about another thing.
"Two days ago, Mr. Lu invited me to visit the class..."
Lin Nan knew what Ning Hao was talking about, visiting the class for "Warring States". He knew Lu Zheng and Jing Tian because of Ning Hao.
“Aren’t you going to ask me about my situation?”
“Just say what you want to say.”
Lin Nan glanced at the other party, who was hesitant to speak. look.
"Fortunately, I didn't take this job at that time. I gave Mr. Lu some face and spent the whole morning watching. Do you know how I feel?"
Ning Hao couldn't help but ask and answer his own questions before Lin Nan could answer. .
“It’s a complete mess, it’s so bad...”
Lin Nan just listened to Ning Hao complaining about the poor script, poor styling, poor director, and poor actors...
"Okay, there are so many people around. If you say a few words, it will be bad if it gets spread."
After hearing this, Ning Hao restrained himself a little and shook his head, "In short, there is nothing to say about this movie."
Lin Nan thought of Liu Yifei.
Miss Liu’s movie role was not to mention that she was the heroine of "Super Body".
Lu Zheng was still too impatient and just wanted Jing Tian to get there in one step.
…………
Tang people.
Cai Yinong's face was gloomy as he listened to the report of the people below.
"What does this mean? Are you here for us?"
"Mr. Cai, could it be a coincidence?"
The assistant asked hesitantly.
The company previously bought the copyright of the novel and planned to film "Step by Step".
Seeing that the script was almost finished, word spread that another company was planning to make a similar drama.
With the same background and the same heroine traveling through time, it is hard not to think of the word "plagiarism".
"What's going on over there?" Cai Yinong asked.
“Listen...I heard that the character has been selected and the launch time has even been decided.”
"When?"
"Early to mid-July."
This answer caught Cai Yinong a little off guard. Not only did the script of "Step by Step" not be completed, but the actors have not been found yet. Woolen cloth.
I knew that the progress was relatively slow, so I took advantage of the gap and arranged a costume drama.
Now it’s no longer possible to hurry up and work on "Bu Bu Jing Xin". The female lead has just started shooting for "Iljimae".
"Mr. Cai, I heard that the heroine over there has chosen Yang Mi..." As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Yinong's eyes widened.
"Are you sure?"
"It should be true."
The assistant could guess Cai Yinong's mood at this moment, and he must be even more angry.
After a long time, Cai Yinong sighed.
“Let the writing team speed up and let the "Iljimae" crew also improve the shooting efficiency, as well as the casting matters, also need to be fast..."
In Cai Yinong's eyes, this The people of Tang Dynasty will definitely suffer the consequences of being dumb.
Obviously it was our side that initiated the project first, but others took the lead.
At this time, we can only try to shorten the distance as much as possible in terms of time, and be better than the other party in terms of quality...
"Well, I'll go and notify you right away."
Tangren has been involved in TV dramas for many years.
Cai Yinong believes that she is very discerning. For example, she thinks that the script of "Step by Step" will be popular.
There is a high probability that other scripts with similar themes will not be too bad.
"After investing in "Step by Step", one of our actors also took on another film. Director Lin, you are really discerning..."
In the empty office, Cai Yinong muttered.
......
The news that Liu Yifei was filming the promotional video for "Super Body" in Hollywood has spread in the industry.
This is truly a unique category among young actresses, whether in Mainland China or Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Some photos were leaked first.
"Looking forward to the release of "Super Body"."
"What a stunning heroine!"
"Liu Yifei is so beautiful..."
...
< br>On the day when the crew of "Painted Skin 2" started shooting, Lin Nan sent Liu Yifei and her party to the airport.
"Director Lin, you are the chief producer of the film. Why don't you come to the crew? The media has also written about it."
The production of "Painted Skin 2" was handed over by Lin Nan to Jiang Yanrou and the filming team , all belong to their own company.
Lin Nan did not refuse Jiang Yuerou's proposal and had to go to the set to have a look.
Commercial films, from the moment they start shooting, must promote and increase exposure.
The next day, Lin Nan and others rushed to the crew of "Painted Skin 2".
Many media reporters were stopped and blocked out by staff.
The moment these people saw Lin Nan, they surrounded him.
After answering many questions, I gave up.
"Director Lin, can you let us in?"
A reporter asked.
"Not now. When the second half of the movie is filmed, we can consider opening up the media to visit the team."
Lin Nan refused with a smile and walked in.
The crew is filming.
Many people saw Lin Nan, but in order not to affect the filming, they could only smile and not say hello. The on-site radio equipment was on.
Take a closer look.
Good guy, we are filming the sex scene between Huo Xin and Xiao Wei.
Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun are also old partners, so there is no embarrassment at all.
Looking at this, Wu Ershan has indeed adjusted the shooting sequence.
After some rubbing, the director shouted "click" and one line passed.
I saw two people coming out of the brocade quilt, Huang Xiaoming was naked from the waist up, and Zhou Xun was wearing a tube top, which was not too revealing.
"Director Lin, you are not up to standard as a director. You didn't come until the third day after starting the production."
Zhou Xun took the coat from the assistant and complained while putting it on.
"You also know that I am the producer? You are already the producer, but you can't fish and dry the nets for half a day?"
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter and even I have never seen anyone say so bluntly that he is lazy.
At noon, Lin Nan had a meal with most of the main actors.
He saw the actress who played the role of the young Princess Jing.
Sitting with Zeng Li, he stood out among the adults.
"Director Lin, don't look at her young age. She has already acted in two TV series and one movie."
Huang Xiaoming introduced.
Lin Nan nodded. He chose the main actors, and the rest were recruited by Wu Ershan.
The little girl is quite down-to-earth and generous.
"Hello, Director Lin, my name is Guan Xiaotong, I am 13 years old this year, and I have acted in "The Promise"..."
When the name "The Promise" was spoken, Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh, Everyone on the side was also smiling.
Although this is a bad movie, for newcomers, especially child stars, Chen Kaige's movies are a shining resume.
Lin Nan muttered the name, nodded, and said nothing more.
When work started in the afternoon, Lin Nan chatted with the waiting actors. Anyway, he only planned to stay for one day and would return to the capital early tomorrow morning.
After all, I agreed to Miss Liu to pick me up at the airport.
In "Painted Skin 2", Zhu Yawen and Yang Mi play a couple, and they have a lot of opposite roles.
Yang Mi’s role was moved forward, and Zhu Yawen’s role was relatively moved up.
“To be honest, I have to thank her, otherwise my role would not be advanced.”
Zhu Yawen smiled a little obscenely.
Lin Nan knew what this guy meant. Zhu Yawen seemed to have a girlfriend. He probably wanted to wrap up the project as soon as possible and go back early.
“I will ask Director Wu Ershan to leave a scene for you and wait until the final day to shoot.”
“Don’t be indifferent!”
Zhu Yawen cursed, really afraid that Lin Nan would do this.
While waiting to film Zhu Yawen and Yang Mi's scenes, Huang Xiaoming ran to the rest area with a smile.
"Director Lin, someone is visiting my class and introducing me to you?"
Lin Nan nodded subconsciously.
In less than two minutes, the leader brought the person over.
Another good guy.
Fortunately, "Painted Skin 2" did not allow media visits, and there were many other crews nearby, otherwise Huang Xiaoming would definitely be forced to disclose it.
"Hello, Director Lin, my name is Yang Ying..."
Lin Nan thought of it as a favor to Huang Xiaoming and chatted briefly.
It can be seen that Huang Xiaoming really seems to like this person and is trying hard to find topics from beginning to end.
Ten minutes later, the person left. Lin Nan looked at Huang Xiaoming with that smile on his face and didn't know what to say.
"The filming of "Painted Skin 2" is also very busy. Don't affect the normal work of the crew."
"Director Lin, what do you mean by this?"
The leader was a little confused for a moment. What did Lin Nan mean when he reacted? When he reacted, he saw that the latter had already walked away.
There is a lot of news about the crew of "Painted Skin 2" in the media, thanks to Lin Nan's visit.
Early the next morning, Lin Nan left the crew with his people and headed back to Beijing.
.........
"Avatar" made a good start and stimulated the domestic film and television industry.
In the past few months, the domestic film and television news has either said that we will make 3D movies or 3D TVs. Anyway, 3D is inseparable from three sentences.
Even Teacher Six came out and said that the 3D TV series "Journey to the West and Wu Cheng'en" was being filmed...
Lin Nan was a little emotional, this person really had a fight with Journey to the West .
On the other side, the promotion of "People on the Road" is proceeding in an orderly manner.
As Lin Nan thought before, Xu Zheng devoted 100% of his energy to this matter, and there were many reports of "People on the Road" in the media.
As an old friend, Wanda also said hello in advance.
For these Lin Nan Pictures films, they will give some preferential treatment in scheduling.
…………
Liu Yifei really calculated her time to return to China. She said it would be three days without any rest in between.
"How was the shooting?"
"It went very well." Miss Liu smiled and nodded.
“That employee of yours is really enthusiastic and followed me throughout the filming.”
Lin Nan was surprised that Liu Xiaoli could say this.
He estimated that Tom was definitely acting as a scumbag, even more flattering than he was in front of him.
Liu Yifei hesitated for a moment, frowned, and said: "Although I have shot a promotional video and everything, I am still a little worried when I think about it. What if I lose money?"
< br>After all, the cost is 26 million US dollars. Ms. Liu knows the importance, and it is normal to be worried.
Liu Xiaoli was sitting in the back seat, and her face became more serious when she heard this.
Lin Nan glanced at Liu Yifei on the co-pilot, "Don't worry, I will ask someone to help me when the time comes."
"Who?"
"Leonardo, Matt Damon, and Director Nolan, these are all connections."
After Lin Nan finished speaking, he saw Everyone in the car relaxed a little.
“Especially that guy Matt, I helped him win the Best Actor Award in Venice, can’t I help us promote “Super Body”?”
“Haha, yes. ”
Over in Hollywood, this is Lin Nan's plan. Use favors as they should.
It’s easier to do here in China.
The screenwriter is Lin Nan and the starring role is Liu Yifei. If you hold a press conference or premiere ceremony, you won’t have to worry about no one coming to support...
So far, there has not been a film like "Super Body" in China. Sci-fi action blockbusters and commercial films.
Lin Nan also pointed out that this movie will completely lay a solid foundation for Liu Yifei.
…………
I am a sinner, repent!
Today there are still only 5,000 words. I really don’t have enough time recently...
