Chapter 336 Postponed, inviting the heroine
Among the many directors in Hong Kong, if there is one that the producer likes the most, it must be Wang Jing.
Bona invested 20 million, and "The God of Wealth Inn" directed by Wang Jing was also released.
The box office on the first day was 9 million. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely make money.
As for whether the final box office can exceed 100 million, it depends on whether the subsequent "Painted Skin 2" and "Martial Arts" will give it a chance.
Guo Fan and the Aerospace Science and Technology Group team have gone to the China Film Digital Production Base to supervise the work.
In the studio, the construction work of "spacecraft interior" has officially begun.
The media is a thief. They always take advantage of the opportunity to visit other studios in the studio to get in touch with us.
But none of the reporters could get close. They were kept far away from the outside and could not take photos inside.
“The filming location for “Passengers” has begun to be set up, and filming is expected to start soon!”
"The main creative lineup is still unknown..."
Many people in the industry are staring at the official website of the Film Bureau, looking forward to the announcement of the registration information.
Because until now, Lin Nan Pictures has not announced the casting.
Everyone already understands this meaning, the casting will not be made public!
…………
Upper shadow.
Ren Zhonglun sighed helplessly.
There were six producers of "The Martian" back then, but now there are only five producers of "Passengers."
The company is still the same, but the one that is missing happens to be SIPG.
“The investment of 250 million is 50 million less, but is this not a reason to exclude us?”
The secretary said cautiously. In his opinion, is Shanghai Film still inferior to Wanda and Guangguang?
This statement of "squeezing out" Shanghai Film Group Corporation was personally made by Han Sanping, chairman of China Film Group Corporation.
Ren Zhonglun ignored the secretary's words. He had to admit that what he did last time was indeed a bit unethical.
Even Han Sanping got angry several times in front of him.
"The premiere of "Painted Skin 2" is only in a few days, right?"
"Ah? Yes, Director Ren."
The secretary replied, wondering why Ren Zhonglun asked this.
"Remember to remind me, I have to go there in person."
"Okay, okay."
Although the outside world has not received specific information, Ren Zhonglun But he knows nothing.
This "Passengers" is indeed directed by Lin Nan himself and produced by Liu Yifei!
These two alone have great box office appeal.
"When the time comes, I'll go talk to him and see if there's still a chance.
In the past few years, we've become a little distant, and we've let others take advantage of the loophole. The first part The movie is still invested by Shanghai Film Industry Corporation..."
…………
All the movies that can be named in June have been released.
The daily box office of "The Great Cause of Party Building" has remained at around 20 million, which is very stable, even if the theater is reserved.
I believe that the box office can reach 300 million before the end of the month.
Many people in the industry are waiting to see the excitement. "Painted Skin 2" and "Martial Arts" are both big investments, and they will definitely have a big impact on "The Founding of the Party" at the box office...
< br>……
Time comes on the 29th.
The invitation to the premiere of "Painted Skin 2" has already been distributed throughout the film and television circles, and the scale is quite large.
Lin Nan is much more relaxed this time. He only needs to be a guest, leaving the stage to Wu Ershan and the others.
"We are not in a hurry today. We can go there at 12 o'clock, no problem."
Liu Yifei was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, while the makeup artist and stylist were busy working.
"Well, just don't be in a hurry."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei felt relieved. She had overslept a little today.
Lin Nan was browsing film and television information in the living room.
Huang Bo and Jiang Yiyan's "Pretend to Be a Couple" is released, and the time slot was really poorly chosen.
On the front there are "The Founding of the Party" and "The God of Wealth Inn", and on the back "Painted Skin 2" will be released soon. The ending can be imagined.
More than two hours later, Liu Yifei was dressed up.
Wearing a retro long-sleeved, high-waisted white V-neck dress, with long hair shawl.
The delicate and beautiful face is wearing light makeup and paired with crystal clear earrings, which is full of fairy spirit!
"If we set off now, we can really arrive in time at 12 o'clock, haha." Lin Nan said with a smile.
“Then let’s go, it won’t be good if it’s later.”
Liu Yifei picked up her handbag, took Lin Nan's arm and walked outside.
…………
The premiere of "Painted Skin 2" was attended by many people.
There was an endless stream of celebrity guests on the red carpet.
The main creators, including Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, Zeng Li, Zhu Yawen, etc., arrived very early.
Even Yang Mi took a leave of absence from the crew to come back.
Looking at industry insiders walking from the red carpet into the venue, Han Sanping couldn't help but ask:
"Lin Nan and the others haven't come yet?"
" It should be soon, right?" Yue Jun said helplessly.
Although Lin Nan's coming or not will not affect the premiere, most of the guests did not think so.
"Here we come." Ye Ning suddenly said.
Everyone saw Lin Nan and Liu Yifei walking in holding hands.
“Why are you looking at us like this?”
“You two, it’s really late this time.”
“We are guests and we are not on stage to speak. , what are you doing so early? ”
Lin Nan waved his hand and said with a smile. Liu Yifei was also a little embarrassed.
Today's premiere features Wu Ershan and the actors from "Painted Skin 2".
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei did not join the crowd, but many people chased them.
"Director Lin, have all the roles for "Passengers" been decided?"
"Almost."
...
Several people came to ask, but they all came back disappointed, and other people at the scene gave up completely.
The interview started on the stage.
As soon as it comes up, it is a very pointed question.
"Director Wu Ershan, how do you think "Painted Skin 2" directed by you compares with Director Lin's first film?"
Many people laughed instantly and looked at Lin Nan. "Director Lin and I have different styles, each with our own characteristics.
But I am very lucky. Compared with 2008, the market size is several times larger now. I think The box office should not be lower than the first one.”
The answer is perfect and all aspects are taken care of.
"So in terms of box office, which one do you think is stronger than "Martial Arts"?"
As soon as this question came out, many people at the scene pricked up their ears, hoping to hear something other than a Tai Chi-style answer.
Taiwan Zhouxun, Huang Xiaoming and others all looked at Wu Ershan.
The latter knew very well that Lin Nan's purpose of setting the film at this time was one of them being for "Martial Arts".
"I think "Painted Skin 2" can beat "Martial Arts" at the box office!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of cheers and applause broke out on the field, and the atmosphere reached a climax in an instant.
This answer is straightforward enough!
Immediately afterwards, the leading actors began to be interviewed one by one...
More than half an hour later, the main film began to be screened.
Everyone is staring at the big screen.
This quality is undoubtedly a blockbuster.
.........
Lin Nan chatted with Han Sanping beside him.
"Director Han, after "Painted Skin 2" is released, the box office of "The Founding of the Party" may be affected."
Han Sanping looked at the big screen and nodded. He did not deny this situation. .
"It doesn't matter, "Painted Skin 2" has only been released for a month..."
These words made Lin Nan and Liu Yifei look at each other, both a little confused. What do you mean: only one month?
Han Sanping turned his head and looked at the two of them with a smile.
“To give you a thorough explanation, we will issue an announcement early next month, saying that the release time of “The Great Cause of Party Building” will be extended to 3 months.”
At this moment, Lin Nan really wanted to curse. Okay, this is completely cheating. I have never seen such a long delay!
Even though the film schedule and daily box office will be very small in the future, the 90-day release period is indeed a bit excessive.
Han Sanping smiled and turned his head away and continued watching the movie.
The two-hour movie ended quickly.
Many producers and film companies began to re-examine Wu Ershan.
They have to admit that this "Painted Skin 2" is really good, and the latter may become famous in one battle!
…………
Everyone was socializing, only Lin Nan was eating intently.
Liu Yifei acted very ladylike and reminded Lin Nan to pay attention to her image from time to time.
"Director Lin, I have always wanted to play a hero like Yue Fei, and this time I got my wish."
Huang Xiaoming took a bite of the cake and said with a smile.
“When will you turn on the phone?”
Lin Nan asked, although he invested in "Jing Zhong Yue Fei", it was Jiang Yuerou who was in charge.
"The production of "Blood Drops" will be started next month, and filming will be completed at the end of September. "Jing Zhong Yue Fei" will start filming in late October."
At this time, Zhou Xun also came over.
"Make room for me, I'm a little hungry too."
There is never a shortage of food on such occasions, but many people just endure their hunger and have to stay with them in the crowd. laugh.
"By the way, save your schedule."
Lin Nan looked at Zhou Xun and suddenly said.
At this moment, except for Liu Yifei, Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun were stunned for a moment, with a bold guess in their minds!
"'Passengers'?" The two said in unison, the volume was not low.
Many people around looked over and heard it.
Envy, jealousy, sourness, all kinds of emotions rushed into my heart for a while.
It’s so good to get into the circle of friends of a great director!
Think about Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming. They have both acted in several Lin Nan movies, directed, screenwritten, and invested.
“Keep your voice down.” Lin Nan said angrily, and Liu Yifei covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Brother Xun, I remember you said you were talking about a new play..."
Before Huang Xiaoming could finish speaking, a piece of cake was stuffed into his mouth.
"I'm very free recently, don't listen to Xiao Ming's nonsense. Is she the heroine?"
"Yes." Liu Yifei answered first.
"Haha, sister, I love you to death..."
Zhou Xun took advantage of the situation and was about to "use violence" with Lin Nan. Fortunately, the latter reacted quickly and avoided it, otherwise the news It looks good.
"Be more ladylike." Liu Yifei looked at Zhou Xun angrily.
"Okay, okay, listen to Producer Liu and don't take advantage of your Director Lin. Isn't this happy, haha..."
…………
Ren Zhonglun He and Lin Nan stood in a remote corner holding wine glasses.
“This movie is very good. I didn’t participate in the investment, and now I really regret it.”
"Director Ren has received the award, it's just a movie..."
Ren Zhonglun spoke again before Lin Nan finished speaking.
"We have been friends for many years since "Warm and Bright". Is there really no chance for this project?"
Lin Nan's heart skipped a beat, and she knew This is what the other party said.
"The contract has been signed, the funds are in place, there is no need to change..."
Ren Zhonglun was a little stunned for a moment. How could the funds for such a multi-billion-dollar project be in place so quickly?
But when he remembered that the person in front of him was Lin Nan, he understood.
China Film and Wanda Group probably don’t want any surprises to happen, so they should be reassured as soon as possible.
"What about next time?" Ren Zhonglun stepped back and asked the next best thing.
“Let’s talk about it next time. I still don’t know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.”
Lin Nan looked at Han Sanping who came over to interrupt and thought to himself: It's just the right time.
Ren Zhonglun looked at the laughing Han Sanping and suddenly lost his temper.
…………
The premiere of "Painted Skin 2" ended successfully.
Media reports quickly appeared online.
"New director Wu Ershan made bold claims that "Painted Skin 2" will beat "Martial Arts" at the box office!"
"Director Lin Nan seemed to have made an offer to Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming at the premiere, and the latter two There is a high probability that he will star in "Passengers"..."
.........
Several producers announced the "Passengers" project to the public for the first time.
