Chapter 339: New Year’s Eve, revised rules
The straw hat incident in "Martial Arts" has become a hot topic in the entire film industry.
Not to mention the mainland media, even the Hong Kong media are much quieter this time.
Chen Kexin behaved very calmly. Faced with the media's interview invitation, she directly refused without making any response.
On the contrary, Wu Zhenru said something mindlessly:
"Are you so lenient on everyone? What's all the fuss about?"
From this nonchalant and accustomed tone, the reporters could tell a lot.
I guess Chen Kexin often did this when filming in the Mainland! I'm afraid I "made" a lot of money!
…………
“The screening situation in Southeast Asia is very good, especially in the island countries. The number of moviegoers is not inferior to the original "Painted Skin 1"."
Lin Nan felt more relieved after hearing Yue Jun's report.
The island country is indeed very powerful. He estimates that the copyright deal for "Painted Skin 2" is gone.
"That's good. Give me the specific data then."
"Yeah."
……
Lin Nan saw the box office of Huang Bo and Jiang Yiyan's "Pretend to Be a Couple".
Between several commercial films such as "Painted Skin 2", this urban romance film barely earned 20 million at the box office.
At this point, it had been released for more than two weeks, and it had completely failed to make any money, so I simply chose to write it down.
In the movie market, "Painted Skin 2" is still the dominant one, with the daily box office remaining at around 30 million.
Everyone is speculating whether the box office of this movie can surpass Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly".
As for surpassing "Thieves"?
Judging from the current box office trend of "Painted Skin 2", there is no such opportunity at all.
Good news came from Warner.
A special effects team of hundreds of people took five months to complete. The special effects shots for "Pacific Rim" will be completely completed this month.
China Film couldn’t wait to announce the news.
"Investing US$160 million to co-produce the science fiction blockbuster "Pacific Rim" will be completed this month!"
Production companies in the industry have once again attracted the attention of this movie.
The combination of co-productions, huge investment scale, and hard-core science fiction movies determines that "Pacific Rim" will definitely enter the domestic market.
The question that everyone is most concerned about now is when will the movie be released in China.
If such a giant beast is let in, a large number of domestic films will surely suffer.
"Is the production about to be completed?"
Among the mainland actors, only Zhang Yi and Jing Tian participated in this film.
At this moment, both of them were very excited.
"New Mom Love Me Again" will be finished in a few days. Next month, I will join the crew of "Time and Space Rescue". Can you bear it physically?"
Lu Zheng looked at it slightly Excited Jingtian asked softly.
"Yes, no problem."
"I don't know when this "Pacific Rim" will be released.
If this movie is released, it will definitely help you. Very big...”
…………
Lin Nan was at China Film Academy at this time.
"Warner has great ideas. Do you know which schedule they want?"
Han Sanping said with emotion.
China Film Group handles all these chores in daily life.
"Which schedule? Lunar New Year schedule or Spring Festival schedule?"
Lin Nan asked with a smile, these two schedules can make Han Sanping sigh.
After all, "Avatar" was released in China during the Lunar New Year period, and it completely wiped out the movie market!
"Haha, you guessed it right. Warner people contacted the group and hoped to release it in the Lunar New Year period like "Avatar"."
Sure enough!
"What does Director Han mean?"
Lin Nan knew clearly that although "Pacific Rim" was a co-production, domestic capital accounted for 55%.
But if we want to stuff such a behemoth into the Lunar New Year holiday, there will definitely be no small voices of resistance, especially with the lessons learned from "Avatar"!
Many domestic films will definitely have great opinions.
Han Sanping suddenly smiled and said, "I think you can give it a try."
Hearing this, Lin Nan knew that what he had just thought was conservative.
With a personality like Han Sanping's, he must be eager for "Pacific Rim" to replicate the record of "Avatar" and sweep all the way.
This is a co-production. If it is successful, it will be a political achievement, an iron-clad political achievement!
"You can decide the schedule with Warner Bros. and Lionsgate. I won't get involved. I think Wanda means the same thing."
Lin Nan is very self-aware about this kind of thing. Only Han Sanping can bear it, and he can also withstand the pressure from other film producers in the Lunar New Year period.
"Okay, I will take care of this matter, it will be during the Lunar New Year period."
Han Sanping guessed what Lin Nan was thinking and said with a chuckle. …………
China Film Digital Production Base.
The construction work in the studio is carried out in an orderly manner and is very efficient.
Lin Nan goes to check it out from time to time. It will definitely be built and decorated in late July, and it can be started by then.
On the other hand, Nortel's performance is in the news again.
The college entrance examination admission scores have been rising for several consecutive years, but this year they suddenly dropped a lot.
The number of admitted students has been cut in half, so why are the scores still lowered?
At first everyone was just curious and didn’t think much about it.
It wasn’t until the results of the “key” art candidates at the beginning of the year were exposed that everyone suddenly realized.
The score line is lowered just for them!
Including Zhou Dongyu, several people were admitted just a little above the score line. Just like the results of professional exams in art exams, they are all about stepping on the line!
It’s just that during the art exam, we lowered the scores of a few people to avoid being gossiped about and let them pass;
But this time it was different. The department took the initiative to lower the scores. In order to allow these people to successfully step on the line and enter the school...
This approach is really a bit disgusting.
Lin Nan suddenly remembered what Tian Zhuangzhuang said with emotion in front of him some time ago.
This circle is indeed becoming more and more closed. Everything is decided in advance and even the rules are modified...
Facing the doubts of public opinion, the performance department does not care at all: this is just a normal adjustment of the score line. There is no other intention.
…………
"Martial Arts" took nine days to reach a box office of 100 million.
Everyone in the film and television industry knows that a movie’s box office potential is almost all in the first half of the month.
Unless it is a particularly popular movie, such as "Thieves", "Let the Bullets Fly" and the currently released "Painted Skin 2".
Of course, the nationwide mobilization of "The Great Earthquake" is too watery and is not included.
“The daily box office growth of the movie "Martial Arts" has dropped below 8 million, and the total box office will most likely stop at 150 million."
"The box office of "Painted Skin 2" has reached 450 million. About to break through the 500 million mark..."
…………
No one has any objection that the box office domination in the first month of this summer's summer season is "Painted Skin 2."
Lin Nan has drawn all the sub-shots of "Passengers", and now he just has to wait for the studio to be completed before filming can start.
"What will happen when "The Star" is released?"
Liu Yifei is more concerned about this matter.
During the premiere and release of "The Star", "Passengers" must have been filming.
"It's simple. During the premiere, give the crew two days off and go to the premiere of "Star" together."
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei and said seriously.
"Star" means a lot to him and Liu Yifei. This is the first time that the two of them have played the leading role of a male and female couple in a movie.
The promotion of this film was left to Light.
With the gimmick of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei co-starring and winning the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, "Star" does not need to be promoted at all.
Because this movie has attracted much attention from the industry and fans since its establishment. Especially the day of Chinese Valentine's Day is even easier to remember.
"Well, that's good. There will be no delay for both parties."
Liu Yifei nodded and agreed with Lin Nan's idea.
…………
Hong Kong Island is really too small.
It's been a month, and the media is still talking about Xie and Zhang's divorce.
On average, Yinghuang can issue two announcements every day, and it doesn’t look like a movie company anymore.
The media in the mainland are also watching the excitement. They are all making fun of Nicholas Tse. How much longer can they endure it?
"The Promise" was brought up for discussion again.
“Speaking of what Director Chen said back then, it does make sense!
Starting from that time in 2008, the roles of these two people in "The Promise" have been completely reflected in reality..."
"Director Chen Kaige is awesome! This prophet is really good! "
…………
"Notify all the actors and ask them to come before the end of the year. "
Lin Nan told his assistant, who knew that he was talking about the crew members of "Passengers".
"Okay, Director Lin."
Guo Fan's side looks the same every day. The "interior of the spacecraft" is being built very quickly, and it is about to be completed.
Lin Nan has to be ready at all times to join the group and start the machine at any time.
