Chapter 306: There isn’t much grass left on the camel’s back
New Year’s Day holiday, the first day.
"Let the Bullets Fly", which has been released for more than half a month, actually surpassed "If You Are the One 2" at the Japanese box office.
The film industry couldn't accept it for a while.
Once upon a time, Feng Xiaogang’s movies were synonymous with Lunar New Year movies!
Now, being knocked to the ground by Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly"?
"Director Feng Xiaogang has lost his position in the Lunar New Year movie..."
"It's not that "If You Are the One 2" is not good, but "Let the Bullets Fly" is too strong!"
"During the Lunar New Year, director Jiang Wen is crowned the new king..."
…………
Lin Nan flipped through movie information and could see his name from time to time.
The movie "New Shaolin Temple" is about to be released, and the leading actors are all big names.
During the promotion, Liu Dehua and Fan Bingbing were inevitably asked about "The Thief".
“When I received the casting notice, I was confused and so excited. It was Director Lin’s movie!
Facts have also proved that I can participate in "The Thief" It’s a great honor for me, with a box office of 900 million! Haha..."
Fan Bingbing answered with gratitude, looking very sincere.
When it was Andy Lau's turn to be interviewed, it turned into a box office issue.
"Don't mess with me! Although I think "New Shaolin Temple" is great, there are so many people like Jackie Chan, me, Bing Bing, and Ting Feng.
But you have to ask me, what do you think about "New Shaolin Temple"? Do you have any confidence that the box office of "New Shaolin Temple" will catch up with "The Thief"? I am definitely lying..."
Media reporters really can't fault this answer.
After all, "Let the Bullets Fly", which is currently doing great at the box office, is basically destined to fail to catch up with "Thieves."
Wu Gan sat silently on the edge and kept smiling. No reporter asked him about "The Thief". Humanity is warm and cold, very realistic...
…………
The last employees of Tiangong Colors who stayed on the "Legend of White Snake" crew are back.
This also means that the movie is officially finished.
"They are really good at it. As soon as they finish filming, they ask when the special effects will be finished. They look like they are waiting for the release to make money..."
Yue Jun complained in front of Lin Nan, with a tone of disdain. .
"How long does it actually take?" Lin Nan asked.
"About three months."
"Then just tell them."
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Yue Jun smiled slyly.
"I just informed them over there, guess what? They asked to keep this time confidential!"
"Oh?"
The last time they asked to keep the special effects costs confidential , this time asked to keep the time of special effects production confidential.
In Lin Nan's heart, he could roughly guess Yang Zai's purpose.
"This kind of person will always do some evil things..."
Since the customer asked so, Tiangong Color just obeyed. After all, there was no reason to refuse.
However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Nan still asked the special effects team to do a good job in recording.
…………
Everyone in the industry was shocked by the generosity of the new picture.
In order to promote "Thirteen Hairpins", Zhang Weiping revealed to the media the salary of the leading actor Bell.
20 million US dollars!
Converted into domestic currency, this salary is more than 120 million!
As soon as the news came out, I finally knew how the production cost of 600 million yuan came from.
The romantic actor got one-fifth!
"Isn't this too expensive?!"
Liu Yifei sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding her laptop, and said with a look of astonishment.
This salary is ten times hers.
"I only found out in the past two days. Choosing Bell was just Zhang Weiping's second best choice."
Lin Nan said casually.
"What do you mean?" Miss Liu asked blankly.
"They found Leon first, haha..."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei understood, "How much did he pay?"
"Two Fifteen million U.S. dollars, 5% global share."
"That producer must have been scared off," Liu Yifei said with a hint of ridicule.
Lin Nan nodded, it was indeed true.
He could imagine that stingy Zhang Weiping's expression must have been as if he had eaten a fly when he heard the quotation.
…………
The post-production of "Star Luck" is about to be completed.
Whether it is the shooting process or post-editing, Lin Nan spent as much energy on this film as any other commercial film.
The employees were all joking, saying that Lin Nan could try to win the best actor award at the film festival with this movie...
Outside Film Market.
After "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded 600 million, the daily box office growth finally dropped to 10 million.
Keeping this trend going, it is very likely to hit 700 million before it is released.
Looking at "If You Are the One 2" again, the total box office has reached 400 million, but it has shown its decline in advance.
You should know that it was released a week later than "Let the Bullets Fly", but the daily box office at this time is the same, both 10 million.
It is obvious who wins and loses.
Lu Chuan is quite capable of dealing with things. He probably got the money and is a bit arrogant. He actually imitated Zhang Yimou, shouting the slogan "Give newcomers a chance" and preparing to conduct a nationwide audition for the role of Yu Ji in "The King's Feast".
This is a joke in the eyes of many colleagues. Lin Nan estimated that this joke was absolutely true.
Every year in January and February, there are two things that attract the most attention in the entertainment industry.
One is the box office of the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival movies, and the other is the art exam.
Since Lin Nan graduated from graduate school, he has escaped from the sea of suffering.
Originally Nortel planned to recruit Guo Fan this year, but who knew that he would be sent to the crew of "Pacific Rim", and the school's plan came to nothing.
Although registration for the undergraduate art exam has not yet started, and there is no news about the graduate exam, some people have already been admitted by default.
For example, Zhou Dongyu, the murderer.
For example, Han Sanping’s daughter, who is cross-school and cross-major, is taking the postgraduate entrance examination for directing.
For these people, the threshold is really too low. It’s as if it doesn’t exist. They can pass it easily...
…………
Not two days after the New Year's Day holiday, the review results of "Painted Skin 2" were announced on the official website of the Film Bureau.
"Painted Skin 2, written by director Lin Nan and directed by Wu Ershan, has passed the screening review and received a release permit!"
"Painted Skin 2 is very likely to be released in the first half of the year... ”
……
Lin Nan was answering Han Sanping’s call.
“It’s still the Children’s Bureau who said hello this time, otherwise those people would really have to give you a month to ‘review’!”
"I was worried about this before, and it really made me guess." Lin Nan complained.
"Some people just pretend not to see it. If your name is in the director's column, there will be no such thing. Okay, let's set the schedule as soon as possible..."
" Well, I get it.”
To be honest, Lin Nan is indeed planning to choose a good and big schedule for the movie "Painted Skin 2".
The movie quality of "Painted Skin 2" is definitely adequate, and he knows this.
"May Day schedule? Summer schedule? Or National Day schedule?"
…………
The much-anticipated "Jinling Thirteen Beauties" held its opening ceremony in Jinling.
Media from all walks of life rushed to Jinling.
But then, a very interesting piece of gossip spread in a small area.
"Are you sure?"
Lin Nan didn't believe what Yue Jun said.
"It's true. If we had known earlier, we would have made the first move. Director Zhang's film will be in front, and we will make a TV series later. We will definitely make money..."
Lin Nan just wanted to do it now Said: Zhang Weiping is so awesome!
He slapped Zhang Yimou's face hard.
Zhang Yimou fell in love with the novel "Thirteen Hairpins" a long time ago and wanted to make it into a movie.
But in order to avoid being preempted by the TV series of the same name, he bought the film and television adaptation rights.
The original author is also a celebrity in the industry. He had communicated with Zhang Yimou before and wanted to buy back the rights to the TV series.
Zhang Yimou was very talkative and immediately agreed and promised that after the movie version of "Thirteen Hairpins" is released, the copyright deal can be completed.
Everything was agreed upon originally, but who knew that Zhang Weiping secretly sold the TV series copyright of "Thirteen Hairpins" at a high price behind Zhang Yimou's back...
At the start of the movie, when the original author asked about it with dissatisfaction, Zhang Yimou knew what happened for the first time, and he was also the last to know.
“I heard that Director Zhang’s face was ashen at that time. Fortunately, screenwriter Yan also saw the clues and didn’t ask further...”
“What happened next?”
"After the launch conference, screenwriter Yan left immediately. After that, the director and the producer probably had a quarrel..."
Lin Nan nodded, Zhang Weiping was seeking his own death, completely. Don't take Zhang Yimou seriously anymore.
Thinking about it, there won’t be much grass left on the camel’s back, and it will soon reach its limit...
…………
The Berlin Film Festival has announced the shortlist for the competition section. .
Several Chinese-language films sent from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan were not spared, and the whole army was wiped out.
At this moment, everyone thought of Lin Nan's "The Fault in Our Stars" again.
If I had agreed to go to Berlin, I would have been the only Chinese-language film on the shortlist now!
We won’t end up in a situation where the whole army is annihilated...
At present, only Lin Nan and Liu Yifei know that "The Fault in Our Stars" is going to be sent to the Cannes Film Festival.
They are not prepared to announce it in advance. If something goes wrong, it will be a shame!
After the Tang people urged several visits, Yue Jun took some time off and flew to Hengdian.
After all, "Bu Bu Jing Xin" also has 40% of the company's investment, so we still have to pay attention to it.
"Mimi, the crew has informed us that we have to follow the promotion in the next half month, especially Mango Channel."
"Gong Lock Heart Jade" became a star upon its first broadcast. It’s Mango’s Golden Eagle Theatre, which is very good news.
Yang Mi is watching the news about "Bu Bu Jing Xin". The two TV series are destined to be tit for tat.
“By the way, if you are asked about this movie "Bu Bu Jing Xin" in media interviews, you have to be careful in your answers."
Zeng Jia reminded.
The other actors in the cast of "Gong Lock Heart Jade" are okay, but Yang Mi is a bit special.
After all, she is from Shanhai Media, and Lin Nan Pictures is one of the producers of "Step by Step", so she is afraid of encountering some difficult questions...
< br>Yang Mi came back to her senses and nodded, "I understand."
In Yang Mi's view, the friendship established during the filming of "Sword and Sword III" has been completely wiped out...
