Chapter 304: Let the bullets fly, the small-minded Lin Nan, Copyright
Many people in the industry know that the film selector of the Berlin Film Festival went to Lin Nan.
But no one expected that the latter would eventually reject the invitation to the film festival.
“Director Lin Nan declined the film festival invitation and promised to go to Berlin again with his work in the future.”
“The Fault in Our Stars will not be included in the Berlin International Film Festival.”
"Liu Yifei lost an opportunity to become the best actress in three major film festivals..."
Everyone in the film industry knows that if Lin Nan is willing to go to Berlin, she will definitely be shortlisted for the main competition unit.
Many directors are both jealous and helpless.
Although it was easy for Lin Nan to be shortlisted, it was a threshold that many domestic directors could not overcome.
It really corresponds to the saying: drought will kill you, and floods will die.
…………
Film and television companies and star studios in the industry are all posting on Weibo to post photos, gifts and year-end awards from the annual meeting.
The studios of Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming and others all give away laptops, cash, and a few cars and diamonds.
Lin Nan Pictures was not idle here either, and spent a whole day organizing the annual meeting.
Ordinary employees will receive three months more salary, and management will receive additional bonuses and gifts.
...
This is the Shanhai Media layer.
Zhang Yi is on the set of "Pacific Rim". I heard that Yang Mi is still recording songs. Of the four artists, only two have arrived.
Lei Jiayin sat next to Reba, bragging about his past glory in school.
I don’t know how true or false it is, but the latter nodded from time to time and seemed to be cooperating seriously.
"Zhang Yi can't come back from the set, how about I take his share for him?"
While handing out red envelopes, Lei Jiayin said with a carefree smile.
"I made the call, did you tell him?"
"Haha, forget it then..."
Reba is a little embarrassed, so far , she hasn’t earned a penny yet. All she spends on school is the company’s money...
"It's for you."
"Thank you, thank you Sister Yifei."
"You're welcome..."
Liu Yifei said with a smile.
Miss Liu was a little uncomfortable with being called sister for the first time, but it felt good, very good!
Not long after, the two girls started chatting...
......
The box office of "The Orphan of Zhao" exceeded 100 million amidst negative reviews.
What is very interesting is that as the crew of "The Orphan of Zhao" gets more and more negative news, the daily box office has actually stabilized!
Even caught up with and exceeded the total box office of "Laughing in the River".
But everyone in the industry knows that Chen Kaige probably doesn't care about box office anymore.
What he cares about is fame and honor, but these two things have fallen to the bottom again!
The Lunar New Year holiday has actually just begun.
Jiang Wen regarded "Let the Bullets Fly" as his turnaround, and the premiere was held more than a week in advance on the 10th.
Everyone is curious as to why such a movie title was chosen, and I heard that it was Lin Nan who gave it to me.
Liu Yifei has always wanted to know why Lin Nan rejected Jiang Wen's movie invitation to her last time.
"After watching this movie today, you will know why I don't agree with you to take his role."
Lin Nan said while leaning against the door, waiting for Liu Yifei.
"If you say that, I'm even more looking forward to the premiere."
Half an hour later, Liu Yifei finished putting on her makeup, and the two of them got in the car and set off.
.........
Jiang Wen can be said to be an old man in the circle, with a wide range of friends.
As you can imagine, there will be many guests present today.
The red carpet, which is dozens of meters long, is also equipped with a red signature wall, and there are a large number of hostesses who welcome guests, playing very fancy.
When Lin Nan helped Liu Yifei get out of the car, Han Sanping also arrived.
The latter was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile:
"How about we go together?"
"Walking the red carpet with Director Han is a dream come true." Lin Nan agreed immediately.
When the reporters saw the three people walking on the red carpet, the cameras in their hands became busy instantly.
Taking the pen handed over by the etiquette lady, the three of them signed their names.
"This project is funded by Yinghuang, and China Film only holds a small share. I wonder what the final profit will be?"
Han Sanping muttered and looked at Lin Nan.
“We’ll have to wait until it’s released to know.”
Lin Nan replied. He held Liu Yifei's hand, and the two of them entered the venue half a body behind Han Sanping.
There are a lot of big names today!
Yang Shoucheng was surrounded in the center, with Jiang Wen, Zhou Runfa, Jackie Chan, Feng Xiaogang, Ge You and others on the side.
Beside them are Gu Changwei and his wife, Xia Yu, Yuan Quan, Liu Jialing, Na Ying and many other actors and stars from the mainland and Hong Kong Island.
In the originally orderly venue, the focus instantly shifted with the appearance of Han Sanping.
"Director Han, you are here..."
"Director Han..."
"Director Han, Director Lin..."
...
In less than a minute, Han Sanping became the new center of the audience.
Liu Yifei lowered her head and suppressed laughter. This scene was so interesting.
"Director Lin, Yifei."
Jackie Chan walked over with a smile on his face.
"Brother, long time no see."
"Hello, Jackie Chan."
"Yifei is doing really well now, your movie is great!"< br>
“Thank you, brother.”
"To be honest, I really regret now that I turned down your movie "Thieves" and gave them both an advantage."
Lin Nan couldn't tell whether the other party was sincere or just polite. After all, the decades-old relationship Actor.
"It's all over, there will be opportunities in the future, right?"
"Yes, next time there is a suitable role, you can call me directly."
……
Lin Nan was taken to Han Sanping, and Liu Yifei was also dealing with a group of actresses.
She is now not only a top commercial film actress, but also a producer. She is naturally the target of friendship among actors.
After going around, Lin Nan finally saw the "inheritance" in this circle.
Jackie Chan took his son, Jiang Wenli took his niece, counting them down, there are no less than 10 second-generation stars!
"Director Lin..."
Yang Shoucheng was holding a wine glass, looking elegant, with Huo Wenxi and Bai Bing behind him.
"Director Yang, I wish you a great success in this film."
"Thank you. Director Lin, can you find a time to chat?"
"What are you talking about? ”
“Ip Man” really has no chance? ”
Yang Shoucheng lowered his voice and kept his voice low.
Lin Nan shook his head, "I said I would shelve this project at the beginning. I have no idea of restarting it in a short period of time."
"Can Director Lin give me a price?"
At this moment, Lin Nan admired Yang Shoucheng for his ability to make decisions.
“I have no intention of selling it, Director Yang doesn’t need to talk about it.
If I restart it one day, I will let Yinghuang know. "
There was one thing Lin Nan didn't say. At that time, he would probably change the actor.
The scene was a little awkward for a while, but Huo Wenxi smoothed things over in time:
" Lin Does the director still remember her? There is also a performance in "Let the Bullets Fly" this time. Please review it later. ”
“Well...”
……
……
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sat in the first row.
Interviews have already begun on the stage, with the producers, directors, and leading actors passing by to speak one by one.
“The filming of this movie was very enjoyable. I seem to have found a new direction. Please give me your opinions after watching it.”
Jiang Wen's last speech was full of meaning.
The main film begins.
It turns out that Jiang Wen really made a breakthrough this time.
He was not a commercial film director before, but with this film, he successfully transformed.
The quality of "Let the Bullets Fly" can be seen from the continuous laughter at the scene.
Liu Yifei grabbed Lin Nan's hand with a sly look in her eyes.
“I know why you didn’t let me take Director Jiang’s role.”
“Why?”
“Humph, you are so narrow-minded, you are afraid that I will be exposed. The camera and other scenes..."
Lin Nan smiled and moved closer, almost face to face.
"Yeah, I'm not big-minded, I can just accommodate you."
The breath hit my face, and there was a moment of silence...
"Well, Director Jiang's movie is really not suitable. I..."
Liu Yifei nodded and said, the smile on her face almost overflowing. She was very, very satisfied with Lin Nan's answer.
…………
The people below couldn't stop laughing, this movie is really great.
In Lin Nan’s opinion, it’s so fantastic that “Let the Bullets Fly” passed the review!
Otherwise, with so many vulgar and obscene lines, tons of metaphors, sex scenes, violence, and explicit scenes, it would be really hard to say.
"He danced on the tip of the knife this time."
Han Sanping beside him couldn't help but sigh.
"But I think the audience will like it." Lin Nan added.
"Huh? It's rare to see you so sure of other people's movies!"
Han Sanping looked at Lin Nan, "How much do you think Jiang Wen can sell this time?"
< br>"Quite a few."
Before Han Sanping could ask further questions, deafening applause erupted from below.
Jiang Wen picked up the phone.
“First of all, I would like to thank Director Lin Nan for giving this movie a very suitable title.”
“Thank you again, Director Ying Huang Yang, for your investment in me.”
..."Let the Bullets Fly" will compete head-on with "If You Are the One 2".
When asked about the box office, Jiang Wen glanced at Feng Xiaogang sitting on the stage and stretched out a hand:
"As I said before, I am confident that I will guarantee a minimum of 500 million and kill Director Feng by the way..."
Many people who went to the premiere of "The Orphan of Zhao" were happy. They said the same thing there, but Jiang Wen should be more hopeful.
…………
“After waiting for 500 million, remember to send me a red envelope.”
At the banquet, Lin Nan joked.
"By the words of Director Lin, there must be a red envelope, haha..."
"Yifei, my movie is not bad, right?" Jiang Wen thought of something and asked Liu Yifei.
"Well, Director Jiang's movie is very good."
"Then do you want to consider my next movie? As long as you ask, I will write a heroine for you."
"Don't consider it, I'm not suitable." Liu Yifei refused with a smile.
"Huh? That's such a pity!"
Jiang Wen shook his head and sighed.
Signing up with Liu Yifei is like having sex with Lin Nan for nothing. The box office bonus must not be at least 100 million?
…………
"Let the Bullets Fly" will be released soon.
Chen Kaige's "The Orphan of Zhao" seems to have come to an end.
It was released for 14 days and grossed 175 million. It seemed that it had drained all the reputation and potential, and the daily box office dropped to more than 300,000.
Looking at the domestic film market, this has never happened in a film by a major director.
In less than half a month, the potential is exhausted and the reputation is lost!
Director Chen has set another record.
……
……
The news that the "Ip Man" project has been shelved has spread in the circle.
Since the morning, calls came to Lin Nan one after another.
There are many people who are curious and have ideas about this kind of profitable project being shelved.
“I didn’t even write the script, where did “Ip Man 3” come from?”
“I don’t know what the situation is yet, let me understand it first...”< br>
“Lin Nan, read the news first.”
……
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan hurriedly flipped through the morning news.
Twenty minutes later, he finally figured out the reason.
The 3D live-action version of "Havoc in Heaven" has been in production for more than a month, and a press conference was held this morning.
Some media asked Donnie Yen a question, asking when the filming of "Ip Man 3" would start.
The other party sneered and replied directly to the reporter:
"After "Ip Man 2" was released, my team communicated with Ying Huang, and the final reply was that the project was stopped..."
Everything was fine until now.
After Donnie Yen’s manager came down, he told reporters again.
The subtext is: Ying Huang does not want a salary increase, and is not even willing to pay 10 million...
Everyone in the industry knows that in the "Ip Man" series, Lin Nan only provided scripts and funds. Ying Huang was responsible for all the filming.
But once this incident came out, it was inevitable that everyone would pay attention to him.
…………
Yang Shoucheng was furious at the moment.
"Ten million, now it becomes ten million again? Is he looking for death?"
A buzzing vibrating sound sounded, and the caller ID read the word Lin Nan.
Yang Shoucheng adjusted his mood instantly and answered the phone.
"Hello, Director Lin?"
......
Ten minutes later, the call ended.
"Director Yang, what did Director Lin say?"
Huo Wenxi asked quickly.
"Go and make an announcement, two meanings.
First, "Ip Man 3" currently has no script;
Second, Donnie Yen is not worth three thousand Ten thousand, not the ten million they said.”
“Okay, I’ll go right away”
...
In less than half an hour, Huo Wenxi’s announcement appeared on Yinghuang’s official website and Weibo.
No one in this circle is a fool.
With a quotation of 30 million, it is really possible for Zhen Zidan to make this offer.
After all, "Ip Man 2" was really popular at that time.
As for the script not being completed, that seems to make sense. After all, Lin Nan Pictures has been releasing movies in the second half of the year.
Two months ago, Lin Nan also wrote the script for "The Star", and directed, acted and filmed it with Liu Yifei...
...
Donnie Yen The agent came back with a sad look on his face, he had just been mentioned.
"We were reckless this time. From now on, don't respond to this topic..."
"Yeah, okay."
......
The media soon discovered that Donnie Yen was silent. They wanted to make an interview, but they refused on the grounds of filming.
Now it seems clear who is right and who is wrong...
Lin Nan looked at the gossip on the Internet and admired these people, they really can write about anything.
When it comes to Zhen Zidan, it's impossible to be banned unless he offends the bureau. Yinghuang doesn't have that ability yet.
“The only way is to let the market abandon him!”
……
The crew of Zhang Yimou’s "Thirteen Hairpins" has very strict requirements.
Lin Nan saw that four actors were fired just because they posted photos of the training base classroom on Weibo and were groped by reporters.
One of them is the one who played Chang'e in "The Prequel to the Lotus Lantern".
"Thirteen Hairpins" suddenly had four empty spots.
Before the actresses in the industry could react, the replacement actors were already in place, and the competition was fierce, which is evident.
......
"The Orphan of Zhao" should be the most embarrassing movie for Chen Kaige so far.
It was released for 14 days and had a box office of 175 million yuan. It was canceled within a few days because the daily box office was only a few tens of thousands of yuan.
Media reports did not leave any face for Chen Kaige
""The Orphan of Zhao" was withdrawn early, with a box office revenue of 180 million!"
"Has director Chen Kaige exhausted his talents? ?"
""Laughing in the River" has reached 150 million, reaching the expected box office target"
...
There are many people watching Chen Kaige lively, but Director Chen is still quite strong.
Chen Hong posted on Weibo, responding on behalf of Director Chen:
"Director Chen has begun to devote himself to the adaptation of "Kukai: The Ghost Banquet of the Tang Dynasty". With At the same time, another film will be conceived and created..."
...
"Director Lin, the special effects of "Painting Wall" are completed."
Only when Lin Nan heard someone calling him, he closed the news page.
"Notify the lighting side and ask them to send people over for inspection."
The special effects of this movie are really just hard-earned money.
In the afternoon, Guangming sent Chen Jiashang over directly.
Originally it was to see the special effects, but in the end it became a visit to the Tiangong Colors.
"Director Chen, don't go there."
"Isn't it convenient?"
"That's the "Warring States" project team, I have to work for the client Think about it," Lin Nan said with a smile.
When Chen Jiashang heard this, he realized that he was shocked.
"Director Lin said, I'm fascinated by it. You have so much equipment here."
"It's all paid for with money." Lin Nan joked.
“There are also some special effects companies on Hong Kong Island, but the equipment is still from many years ago and is very outdated...”
Chen Jia Shang felt this.
“I guess all future films from Raytheon will come to Director Lin, and we will see each other often.”
"There will be no discounts in the future. Director Wang can't be too stingy."
Lin Nan said jokingly, but this was no joke.
......
"Let the Bullets Fly" is released.
The box office revenue on the first day was 30.18 million, which was despite insufficient copies.
China Film Distribution Company worked overtime overnight to develop and print the film...
The theaters unanimously determined that Jiang Wen's commercial film would become famous in one go.
All kinds of coquettish lines spread all over the Internet instantly. The audience's evaluation was almost overwhelmingly positive!
“In a large public place, my husband is watching from the sidelines...”
“The master is high, but the county magistrate is tough...”
"Let the bullets fly a little longer..."
...
Lin Nan knew that this movie was already gaining momentum. Jiang Wen is about to successfully enter the ranks of commercial film directors, and he will have more fun in the future.
Yue Jun returned to the company with his latest harvest.
"Director Lin, I spent a little too much this time. The key is that the copyright is separate, which is time-consuming, laborious and expensive."
"Let me take a look."
Yue Jun handed the detailed directory to Lin Nan.
The latter's eyes lit up for a moment, "You have really good taste!"
"Director Lin is too polite, this is what we do, haha."
Lin Nan signed without saying a word.
"Get it done as soon as possible. You can't miss any of these."
"Don't worry, I have negotiated with them..."
After Yue Jun left the office, Lin Nan felt relieved Take a breath.
Although there is a lot of interest in the copyright of novels, it cannot be stopped in the future.
“I actually bought the ‘Hu Bayi’ together. It seems that I spent a lot of effort and the money was well spent.”
It should be back to normal tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
