Chapter 318 April, the premiere of "Warring States"
Regarding "Painted Skin 2", Han Sanping has a suggestion.
He wanted to send someone to bring the film when the Cannes Film Festival opened.
Like other domestic films, we promote and sell copyrights in order to obtain greater profits.
For this proposal, Lin Nan, Ye Ning, and the investors of Xiying and Ningying all agreed.
The purchase and sale of film rights is the real intention of most films going to international film festivals.
"However, don't count on me for publicity. My main focus will be on "The Star"."
Lin Nan had something to say first.
His and Liu Yifei’s movie is the most important thing in this trip to Cannes.
“Well, China Film and Wanda are responsible for publicity and copyright transactions, but you will definitely be included in the promotional materials...”
"Okay."
…………
Chen Jiashang took people to visit Tiangong Color.
He gave a detailed explanation of his and his team's conception and requirements for the special effects of "The Four Famous Catchers".
Tiangong Color will make several sets of plans based on these requirements and give different levels of quotations.
"Director Lin, the actors will join the group at the end of April or the beginning of May at the latest for a month of training."
Lin Nan nodded, thinking that the schedule was quite tight.
"I understand, thank you for your hard work, Director Chen."
"Director Lin, you're welcome."
When Chen Jiashang signed a contract with Guangguang, Wang Changtian promised to give him He has a lot of autonomy.
In this casting, the male lead is still Mainland actor Deng Chao.
He thought that the female lead candidate should be able to take care of the relationship on Hong Kong Island.
But who knew that this idea was directly rejected by Wang Changtian.
The reason given was also very direct, because Lin Nan took the initiative to ask for the role of the female lead...
When Chen Jiashang heard this, he was really helpless, he had already agreed Over to Hong Kong Island.
In the end, there was nothing he could do, so Chen Jiashan had no choice but to accept the reality and gave the two supporting male roles in the protagonist team to Hong Kong actors.
…………
In the outside world, the promotion of "Warring States" and "Guan Yunchang" has entered a white-hot stage.
Especially the former, the gimmick of being released simultaneously in China and North America is very eye-catching.
You know, generally only movies by big directors get this kind of treatment.
For the first time, Lu Zheng announced to the outside world that the domestic box office is targeting 300 million!
"Guan Yunchang" is no less generous here.
"Jiang Wen lets his son go solo!"
""Guan Yunchang" will definitely become the box office champion in the first half of the year..."
…………
Every slogan was shouted loudly, as if victory was already certain.
Artists in the industry are still concerned about the casting of "Four Famous Catchers".
Guangguang first announced the release time of "Painting on the Wall".
"The fantasy film "The Painting on the Wall" directed by director Chen Jiashang and based on "Liao Zhai" will be released on September 29 during the National Day holiday."
"The Painting on the Wall" takes the lead Charging into the National Day schedule, this move instantly led to another movie.
"The magical romance film "The Legend of White Snake" produced by Juli Pictures with an investment of 200 million, is scheduled to be released on National Day and will be released on September 29."
"The cast of "The Legend of White Snake" is huge, including Jet Li, Huang Shengyi, Wen Zhang, Lin Feng and other powerful celebrities..."
.........
The film and television industry was instantly lively.
In terms of industry status and qualifications, Raytheon beats Juli Pictures. When it comes to film investment and lineup, "The Legend of White Snake" is obviously stronger than "The Painted Wall".
Now the two movies have been announced at the same time, and they are released on the same day, with the same magical theme!
That kind of chilling atmosphere suddenly emerged.
The media was so excited...
Lin Nan was stunned!
He remembered that when Juli Pictures announced the project, the budget was 180 million. When Tiangong Color was bragging, he was talking about 180 million to Yue Jun.
How come the cost has inexplicably increased by 20 million before the publicity even started?
Don’t expect another higher number during the pre-release promotion!
Lin Nan thought of Yang Zai's virtue. Not to mention, it was really possible for him to do this...
What he was afraid of was what he was afraid of. Some attentive netizens had already pointed it out.
“Although this is a competition between light and power, the two movies have one thing in common, that is, their special effects are all made of heavenly colors!”
Soon, many media came to Lin Nan Films for interviews and asked their opinions on the two movies.
Yue Jun gave a standard answer.
“The special effects of both movies are great. As for the overall evaluation, that has to be given by the audience...”
…………
There seem to be a few Yue didn't see Shu Chang anymore.
Lin Nan suddenly saw Shu Chang next to Liu Yifei and was a little stunned.
The latter wore a single ponytail and was sitting on the sofa eating snacks, as if he was at home.
""Magic Phone 2" is finished?"
"No, the crew has two days off, so I will come over to see Sissi.
I can't say more than one After the moon, she is the movie queen!”
The two girls were all smiles and blooming for a while.
In the past few months, the most criticized thing about "Magic Phone 2" is why Jiao Enjun is missing.
To be honest, Lin Nan thinks this original script is really creative.
In this sequel, the TV drama production center was a little careless.
They thought that when filming the sequel, the original cast would be able to come just by saying hello, so they didn’t notify them in advance.
No one expected that by the time the sequel was set to be filmed, a small number of actors would already have new schedules.
Among them is the most important starring Jiao Enjun. The latter has already started working on his first album, "Mr. Vincent". At this time, the crew was a little confused.
Lin Nan heard from director Yu Mingsheng that the screenwriter spent several days in nine years directly deleting and changing the script.
I would rather remove the role of You Suowei than find someone to replace Jiao Enjun.
So the current script is much thinner than the first one...
When Lin Nan heard this inside story, he admired Jiao Enjun a little.
There are not many actors who can be treated like this by the TV drama production center!
……
With the addition of Shu Chang, Lin Nan felt that he had lost his status instantly……
.........
Guangguang began to announce the casting situation of "Four Famous Catchers" to the outside world.
Deng Chao plays the male lead: Leng-blood; Jiang Yiyan plays the supporting female role: Ji Yaohua.
Zou Zhaolong plays the supporting actor: Iron Hand; Zheng Zhongji plays the supporting actor: Chasing Life.
……
There were only four people on the first cast list, but it also attracted the attention of many actors in the industry.
The combination of actors from mainland China and Hong Kong Island is still very interesting and interesting.
Especially these people are all first- and second-tier actors.
"Where is the female lead? Hasn't she been chosen yet?"
Many agencies and actresses have this doubt, and then they start asking for information and contacting the light...
Yang Mi also saw the news, but she didn't care because she was going to join the cast of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" in May.
If there was no "Hongmen Banquet", she would definitely give it a try. After all, she knew the relationship between Light and Lin Nan Pictures.
......
The last "Singles" was released in March, and the box office data is still sluggish.
After a whole month, no movie has a box office of over 100 million, and almost all of them are losing money or barely recovering their costs.
Many media are saying that the market needs a big-budget movie to stimulate it.
Lin Nan wanted to know how much money Lu Zheng spent on publicity to allow so many media to advertise "Warring States" intentionally or unintentionally.
The first day of April.
The producer of "Guan Yunchang" announced in a high-profile manner that the North American copyright of this film has been valued and purchased by Weinstein Pictures.
Faced with inquiries from the media, the producer refused to say how much it sold for.
In this situation, some knowledgeable people in the circle seemed to have guessed something.
In the past, for many movies, as long as they sold North American copyrights, they would basically tell the media immediately to hype the movie and attract audiences.
This move by the producer of "Guan Yunchang" is interesting.
I want to use this news to stimulate the audience, but also hide it...
In everyone's opinion, 80% of them were ripped off by that guy Harvey at a low price!
.........
The 6th is the premiere of "Warring States", euphemistically called the world premiere!
Lin Nan heard that during the recent period, the crew of "Warring States" has traveled to all major cities across the country, which is called a massive effort.
Open the portal website, especially in the movie information, the promotional news of "Warring States" in various cities can account for more than one-third.
Lu Zheng’s phone call came.
"Director Lin, the premiere is on the 6th. Don't forget it if you are busy."
"Since I agreed to go there, I will not forget it..."
Lin Nan chuckled and shook his head. He was convinced by Lu Zheng. He estimated that Ning Hao would also receive a call.
But having said that, just go, he will still give you this face. It’s just that this movie is hard to describe in one word...
...
Liu Yifei began to choose clothes for herself.
When filming "The Star", she cut her hair short to the ears.
Now more than five months have passed, and my hair has once again become shoulder-length.
"What dress are you going to wear this time?" Lin Nan asked softly.
“I won’t tell you yet, but you will know when we set off that morning.”
Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows slightly and replied with a smile.
…………
We arrived on the 6th in a blink of an eye.
Lin Nan got up not too late, and when he arrived at Liu Yifei's side, the latter was putting on makeup.
Exquisite facial features always make people’s eyes brighten.
"Today will be a little faster than usual."
Realizing that Lin Nan was coming, Liu Yifei said softly, while the makeup artist beside him continued to be busy.
"How much faster can it be?"
"Half an hour..."
Lin Nan was a bit dumbfounded, two hours and two and a half hours, to him No difference.
"Then I'd better go for a walk with them first."
…………
Taking the time, Lin Nan came back.
When he saw Liu Yifei's clothes, he realized that he had guessed wrong. It was not a dress at all.
"How do you like it? Does it look good?"
"Okay, she looks good, like a strong woman."
I saw Liu Yifei, wearing a white women's casual suit, with long hair hanging loose, and wearing double crystal high heels.
Wearing no necklace or earrings, only a women's watch on her right wrist.
With bright eyes, white teeth and red lips, she looks sassy and capable.
