Chapter 291 "The Thief", writing the script
The evaluation of the screening of "The Hawthorn Tree" has appeared online.
Good reputation spread quickly.
Zhang Yimou himself has a decisive influence in the field of literary films.
This time, it has aroused the desire of a large number of viewers to watch movies.
"The screening of "The Hawthorn Tree" ended, and the stars left with tears in their eyes..."
...
Because it was screened half a month in advance, everyone was informed in advance Cameras and other equipment are not allowed into the venue.
But many media members stayed outside the small auditorium.
Many actors, especially actresses, were captured in this way with reddish and swollen eyes.
There was no way to apply makeup in a small auditorium, so one can only imagine the "quality" of those photos.
Liu Yifei is naturally beautiful, but her eyes are slightly swollen.
Just like that, Lin Nan asked her to put on sunglasses before leaving the small auditorium.
It’s not about covering up one’s ugliness, it’s about taking care of other female celebrities. Otherwise, others would be embarrassed in comparison.
……
"Fist of Fury", which claims to earn 500 million at the box office, held a press conference in the capital.
But what is very funny is that during the on-site promotion, when you open and close your mouth, it is all about "Ip Man".
No commercial film in September can escape the topic of "The Thief".
Everyone has to face Lin Nan.
There is only a 9-day gap between "The Thief" released on the 30th and "Fist of Fury" released on the 21st.
When asked if they were confident of grabbing the box office from Lin Nan, the crew of "Fist of Fury" was confident.
“The “Hawthorn Tree” released before us is a literary film and is not considered by us;
As for “The Empire of Heaven”, we are confident that it will cut its box office in half after its release;
Finally crushed "Sword Rain" on the 27th and defeated "Thieves" on the 30th..."
When Liu Weiqiang said this, all the media were a little unbelievable.
Isn’t this Hong Kong director so good at boasting?
Is this how Hong Kong films were brought down? It would be nice if you were just a little humble!
"I'm not kidding, our leading actor is Donnie Yen, he can fight ten! Haha..."
Not only did the director swear, but even Donnie Yen himself told the media , this drama is a great success, and he is confident that it can handle a box office of 500 million!
A Hong Kong film that used such harsh words made many mainland filmmakers feel uncomfortable.
"Lin Nan, you have to use some force to hold down these pretenders..."
Ning Hao didn't stop on the set of "The Robbery" and called over.
“Of course I have to fight to death.”
Lin Nan was not modest this time.
Ning Hao felt like he was holding his breath while filming "The Robbery" this time.
He has already set a completion date and plans to finish filming before November, participate in the Golden Horse, and then reshoot "No Man's Land."
"Director Lin, the people from South Korea will arrive in the afternoon."
The assistant knocked on the door and came in to report to Lin Nanhui.
"I understand, please notify China Film and Wanda to see if they want to send someone over"
"Okay, Director Lin."
When he went to the Shanghai Film Festival to promote four movies, CJ and Lin Nan talked about the introduction of "Thieves".
Later, after Showbox heard about this incident, he also got involved. This time, they probably came together again to keep an eye on each other.
......
China Film announced the progress of "Pacific Rim" to the outside world.
"The main Chinese actors: Zhang Yi, Jing Tian; some supporting roles are played by actors from Beijing Film Studio."
"Director Guo Ban will join the crew of "Pacific Rim"."
...
As soon as the news came out, the Internet exploded.
Good guy, three producers and actors are included.
There are many smart people. Zhang Yi works for Lin Nan Pictures, Beijing Film Studio belongs to China Film Group, and Jing Tian’s star-studded boss is a shareholder of Wanda Pictures...
"Zhang Yi signed this contract well. It has only been four years since he signed a ten-year contract, and he has already been involved in such a big project!
In two years, it will still be possible! Even if he is not an actor, he will have it, right? ”
Every actor in the industry is envious. Not only them, but even the people at Lin Nan Pictures themselves are envious.
"If I had known it, then I should have given in, respected the elders, and let Zhang Yi play "The Robbery"."
Lei Jiayin looked at Ning Hao and joked.
"Let them send one less lunch box today." Ning Hao shouted to Xing Aina.
......
"Mimi, wait until next time. Looking at the company like this, there will be more opportunities in the future..."
Since Reba entered the drama in August, From the day she signed up for school, her classmates looked at her very differently.
Because everyone knows that she was signed by Shanhai Media at the beginning of the year, or more directly, by Lin Nan Pictures.
Think about the actors under Lin Nan Pictures, Zhang Yi started from "The Martian" to now "Pacific Rim".
Lei Jiayin's "Source Code" and "The Robbery", and Yang Mi is a four-star actress, including "Xiu Chun Knife" and "Painted Skin 2"!
"Reba, your company really wants you to stay in school for two years?"
Yuan Bingyan couldn't help but ask.
Reba nodded blankly, then shook his head, "After the first academic year, the company will consider giving me resources. It is up to me to decide whether to accept it or not..."
Although they had long heard about the contract content given to newcomers by Shanhai Media, when they heard it with their own ears, everyone was still envious from the bottom of their hearts.
And so far, all Reba’s school expenses are not from her family, but from Shanhai Media.
“You will definitely be popular!”
In the eyes of a group of students, Reba is destined to be famous. Lin Nan Pictures has more meat than wolves, and he has a wide range of connections in the circle... …
“I just hope that I can finish my freshman year as soon as possible and receive the notice...”
Reba said with a smile.
“Didn’t your company say when it would sign another person?” a group of people asked in a chirping voice.
…………Liu Yifei, dressed in summer clothes, sat in Lin Nan’s seat, drinking iced sour plum soup, very comfortable.
“A company from South Korea will be coming over soon. Do you want to observe?”
Lin Nan sat on the sofa, looked at Liu Yifei on the boss's chair, and asked.
"Well...you can listen."
Miss Liu took advantage of the proprietress's attitude and said lightly, winking.
Not long after, people from China Film and Wanda arrived first, one was the deputy director and the other was Ye Ning.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei also left the office and went down to the conference room on the third floor.
"Director Lin, are they CJ and Showbox?"
"Yes, they are two companies."
"Thieves" has an investment of 130 million. To everyone, it must be a sell. The more places, the better.
The people from CJ and Showbox arrived together, and obviously neither would let the other go.
"Director Lin, CJ intends to pay 20 million US dollars to buy out the box office revenue of this movie in South Korea."
It's really clear from the start.
Hearing this offer, Ye Ning and the people from China Film Group were slightly moved.
If you agree, it means that the cost can be recovered instantly, and all the domestic profits will be profits.
The people at Showbox were not in a hurry, but looked at Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.
"Ms. Liu's "Super Body" is very exciting. Today I saw a real person...it's really beautiful."
"Thank you." Liu Yifei nodded and said.
After finishing speaking, the people from Showbox spoke.
“We can also quote a buyout price, but I think Director Lin is not willing to sell out all at once, right?
So, we choose to introduce the method of splitting accounts.”
Lin Nan couldn't help but smile. The people at Showbox had done much more homework than CJ.
CJ's man looked at his colleague and opponent with a somewhat ugly face.
"But movies are a high-risk industry. When Director Lin's "Time Cruiser" was released, the total overseas box office was only 12 million US dollars..."
CJ's people started to present data. , but today is different from the past.
“I chose to introduce the method of dividing accounts.”
Lin Nan said softly.
Andy Lau's popularity in South Korea is not low.
Seeing Lin Nan make his choice, Ye Ning and the people from China Film Group also nodded in agreement. Lin Nan was originally in charge of this project.
Since he is so sure, there is absolutely no problem. Trust is the foundation of long-term cooperation.
The people from Showbox looked happy and looked down upon the people from CJ.
Today’s Lin Nan is already different from before. He is a great director of commercial films, a Golden Lion director...
If CJ's people start talking about introducing separate accounts again, they will no longer have any advantage.
This cooperation was won by Showbox.
After the result was decided, CJ’s people didn’t leave in a hurry, which made Showbox’s people have some bad suspicions.
"Director Lin, CJ would like to talk to you about cooperation, well, to be precise, with Crystal Pictures."
As soon as these words came out, the people at Showbox knew that they had guessed correctly. .
Ye Ning's and Ye Ning's faces turned dark instantly. They were coming to poach someone!
"If you want to cooperate with Crystal Pictures, you should go to Tom. He is the one who decides the company. I am just a shareholder."
Lin Nan declined politely.
“Showbox also has this idea.”
“As I said before, you have to find Tom.” Lin Nan still refused to let go.
"You are a shareholder, can you help introduce me?"
The people from China Film could not help but want to stand up and curse, these sticks...
"What kind of cooperation?" Lin Nan asked curiously asked.
"Can you accept investment?"
Hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh, "You really have to go find him personally for this kind of thing."
Perhaps they felt that Lin Nan really couldn't help, so the two families didn't mention it anymore, only saying that they would try it later.
…………
After everyone left, Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan.
“You are so good at deceiving others in a serious manner.”
“Don’t you think they are funny? Haha...”
"Have you ever lied to me?"
The air seemed to freeze instantly.
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, "I promise, I have never lied to you."
"You have lied. You have promised my movie for several years..."
Liu Yifei said decisively, with a joking smile on her face.
At this moment, Lin Nan was a little stuck.
"Isn't this what I keep missing? This time I promise that I will definitely get the script out within a month and I will never break my promise."
"Hmph, I believe you again, if you still Lie to me, and you're dead."
Liu Yifei's fierce expression looked a little cute in Lin Nan's eyes.
……
The promotion of several movies outside has begun.
Lin Nan didn't go to the company, so he stayed at home and prepared the script.
Literary films, romance films.
Lin Nan knows what Liu Yifei likes. She likes movies like "Hawthorn Tree Love" rather than "My Beautiful Boss".
I already have a direction in my mind.
"Make them all and let her choose!"
