Chapter 276 Preparing for "Super Body", the sequel
"Lin Nan, you are off to a good start. Four movies, the first one is a good result."
Lin Nan is even embarrassed It sounds sour to point out Han Sanping.
"With size restrictions, no matter how good it is, how much better can it be."
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Han Sanping felt like he was choked.
"Haha, if you are too modest, you will look hypocritical..."
This is a bit unreasonable. It was obviously you who called to say this. Lin Nan was speechless.
Han Sanping made this call to congratulate him, but he just became sour while chatting.
However, I still have some integrity, and I didn’t say that I would call China Film for such a project in the future.
The popularity of "On the Road to Misfortune" has started to rise, and the box office on the second day was fixed at 9 million.
This is already among the best among the films.
Because although there are not many blockbuster movies in June, there are quite a few.
Jackie Chan's Hollywood movie "Kung Fu Dream" is not acclimatized in the country.
Xue Xiaolu's "Ocean Paradise", even with Jet Li, still only had a few hundred thousand on the first day.
The box office of "Battle of Shama Town" and "The Spy" were average, with 3-5 million in the first two days.
...
Among so many movies, only Disney's animated movie "Toy Story 3" looks okay, a little better than "Journey to the Road".
Xu Zheng has not been interviewed by the media in the past two days. He is a smart man and knows how to keep a low profile first.
If we want to release other new directors, I’m afraid they’ll be too busy by now.
“I’m very stressed right now!”
Lin Nan Pictures' second film "Xiu Chun Knife" will be released on August 1.
Lu Yang was very stressed right now.
No one expected that the 5-million-dollar film "The Journey" would perform so well at the box office.
""Xiu Chun Knife" and "People on the Road" are not on the same track and cannot be compared like this."
Lin Nan comforted.
Before, he thought that Xu Zheng could sprint into the 100-million-yuan director club, but now that he thought about it, it was actually not that easy.
Lin Nan is not ready to keep staring at what happens next in "The Man on the Road".
"Super Body" will be released in about ten days, so he has to spend some energy on this matter.
…………
Liu Yifei started to get busy.
Her solo posters have appeared in major theaters, and they are all in prominent positions.
Over in Hollywood, Lionsgate’s promotion has also begun.
Lin Nan started looking for someone.
"Lin, it's still night over there, right?"
Not only was Leonardo's voice on the phone, there were also the chuckles of many women on the side.
Someone asked softly: "Is it the Golden Lion director from Crystal Pictures?"
Xiao Lizi hummed.
Lin Nan was a little speechless. Is this guy having a party in broad daylight?
"Leon, I need you to do a little favor."
"What is it?"
"Crystal's "Super Body" is about to be released. I hope you can help me promote it."
As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, the other party agreed.
“Well, of course.”
“I will ask Tom to find you and record a short video of a few minutes, right?”
Lin Nan said even more. .
"Haha, then you have to prepare a script for me later, or it should be no weaker than "The Hunt".
That guy Matt, ever since he won the Best Actor, he has been showing off in front of me..."
This requirement is in line with Leonardo's style.
"In this case, one movie promotion is not enough." Lin Nan joked.
“You can come to me next time.”
"Okay, I agreed, take care of yourself..."
Lin Nan hung up the phone with a smile before Xiao Lizi could react.
Matt Damon is even better to talk to.
Compared with Leo, Matt is simply a good man. He is married and has children, so he is not so promiscuous.
After Lin Nan explained his intention, the other party agreed without saying a word.
"Lin, if you need to attend an event, you can also come to me. I can still spare half a day."
"Matt, thank you, it doesn't have to be so troublesome."
"It should be Yes, just remember me next time when you start a new movie, haha.
You don’t know, when I put the trophy in front of Leon’s face, his face looked like I had stolen his girlfriend. Same, haha..."
Lin Nan has nothing to say, these two are just awesome.
...
...
After making several phone calls and arranging things in Hollywood, Lin Nan felt much more relieved.
Just leave the rest to Tom and Lionsgate.
"Super Body" is Liu Yifei's one-man show, and the publicity before the premiere will definitely need to be completed by her alone.
Liu Xiaoli and her assistant accompany Liu Yifei, appearing on programs, recording interviews, or conducting interviews on portals every day.
The publicity effect is very good.
After running for a week continuously, Ms. Liu was a little overwhelmed.
In the evening, when the two of them were chatting in the garden, they fell asleep leaning on Lin Nan's shoulder. You can imagine how tired they were.
"Forget it, let's stop here. There will be a premiere later." Lin Nan said softly.
"Well... when I was acting... I was very careful..."
Liu Yifei smacked her lips and talked in her sleep. Lin Nan smiled and shook his head, picked her up by the waist, and walked into the villa.
Liu Xiaoli felt a little distressed when she looked at her daughter who was already sleeping deeply.
Lin Nan gently placed the person in her arms on the bed and said to Liu Xiaoli:
"Auntie, the promotion is here. Let her rest for a few days. There will be a premiere later."
"This won't affect the movie, right?"
"No. " Lin Nan said softly.
…………
"The Journey" is really a dark horse.
Although there were many competitors, the box office continued to decrease after the first two days.
But after the first week, it still received a total of 45.4 million box office.
This low-budget comedy amazed all the film companies in the industry.
It seems to remind me of the original "Stone" again.
However, compared to the market at the time of "Stone", the external environment of "The Lost Journey" is much worse, with too many opponents.
Lin Nan feels that the above-mentioned efforts to combat piracy are still not enough.
He had already seen "People on the Road" online and was speechless.
……
It has been a month since the filming of "Painted Skin 2" began.
With Wu Ershan deliberately adjusting the roles, among the main actors, Yang Mi and Zhu Yawen were the first to finish filming.
"The crew of "Painted Skin 2", Yang Mi, who plays the sparrow, and Zhu Yawen, who plays the monster hunter, have finished filming and left the crew."
"Yang Mi has returned to Shanhai Media, more than half a month later Will join the cast of "Gong Lock Heart Jade" and play the heroine Luo Qingchuan."
…………
"Jiajia, I have never been so fulfilled. "Then "Painted Skin 2", two movies in a row..."
Yang Mi said to Zeng Jia with emotion on her face.
"Well, the company's "People on the Road" has also been a hit recently. My decision to come to Shanhai Media was a very wise one."
Zeng Jia nodded and thought of another thing, "In a few days " "Super Body" is about to premiere, this is a real heroine movie!"
After saying this, Yang Mi, who was in a good mood just now, was instantly shocked.
It was released simultaneously in North America and China. She could only envy this treatment.
…………
Lin Nan has asked Yue Jun to prepare a guest list for the premiere of "Super Body".
He wanted to make this premiere a big one, so he had to maximize the publicity effect.
……
June has entered the second half of the year, and there are no movies in the movie market that are particularly eye-catching at the box office.
"People on the Road" looks like three to four million every day, growing unshakably, which is quite stable.
After the box office exceeded 50 million, Xu Zheng began to appear for interviews.
“I am very grateful to Director Lin Nan for giving me this opportunity, allowing me to take the first step on the road of directing.
In the future, I will take on both roles as an actor and director, and continue to walk... ..."
To put it bluntly, although "On the Road" was successful, people in the film industry would not think that it was Xu Zheng's credit. The first person that everyone thought of was Lin Nan.
In the eyes of most people, more than 60 to 70% of the credit for this film's current success belongs to Lin Nan.
Xu Zheng has been in the entertainment industry for many years. He understands this truth. It is impossible for him to be completely accepted by the industry with one movie.
Maybe in the eyes of many people, he was just lucky enough to be chosen by Lin Nan...
...
In the company, Lin Nan met Xu Zheng and A bit unexpected.
“Why do you have time to come here today?”
"I have some ideas these days that I want to share with Director Lin." Xu Zheng said with a smile.
Lin Nan glanced at Xu Zheng with interest, wanting to hear what he was going to say.
"Let's talk then."
Xu Zheng sat on the sofa and cheered up instantly.
“Director Lin, from the time I got the script of "A Man on the Road" to the completion of filming and now the release.
I think it can be made into a series to continue this unique style..."
Xu Zheng was talking there.
But Lin Nan's reaction at this time was: I Damn it!
He knows that Xu Zheng is talented, and it seems that he is indeed talented. Unfortunately, he is also very ambitious. This kind of person will not be recruited by others.
"Well, Yes, you guessed it. Lin Nan nodded and said.
Seeing Xu Zheng become quiet instantly, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Nan, his eyes shining.
"What does Director Lin mean? Does he mean that a series or sequel is ready?"
Xu Zheng asked uncertainly.
"Yes, from the beginning." Lin Nan answered seriously.
"Director Lin, look, do you think I can continue..."
Lin Nan looked at the other party's impatient look and shook his head.
“I think you can digest the experience of "A Man on the Road" first. Even I take a break after finishing a movie..."
...
...
Lin Nan deceived Xu Zheng away, and he promised to wait a year and a half for a sequel.
The latter hoped that Lin Nan would continue to give him this opportunity. Lin Nan did not explicitly refuse, nor did he agree immediately. He only said that there was a high probability that it would be him.
Xu Zheng was already very satisfied with this answer. In his opinion, since he is not making trouble, the original team must be the best choice.
Lin Nan was sitting alone in the office, feeling a little emotional.
He really admires Xu Zheng. It seems that when he was filming "On the Road," he put in all the hard work, otherwise he wouldn't have considered the sequel.
As of now, Xu Zheng, a wage earner, can still continue to use it!
But to be honest, with the other party’s extremely clear career plans, ambitions, and ambitions, the cooperation will not last long.
