Chapter 341: Set the schedule, take the third master to change clothes
The annual Venice Film Festival will open in one and a half months.
A total of four Chinese-language films have been shortlisted for the main competition this year.
One for the Mainland, two for Hong Kong Island and one for Bay Island.
“What, ask me to be the guest of honor?”
When Lin Nan received the invitation, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He knows the conventions of the three major international film festivals.
That is, every year, several previous winners will be invited to serve as award guests together with the jury.
I heard that Jia Zhangke was invited to be the jury chairman of this year’s Horizon section.
If there were no movie shooting plans, Lin Nan would be willing to go, but that’s not possible now.
"I'm sorry, Chairman Darren. My new movie will start shooting in two days, and there is a high probability that it won't be completed during the awards ceremony."
"Oh, that's such a shame. Lin, best wishes The filming of your movie went well..."
"Thank you."
Lin Nan just refused in the morning, and it was reported in Venice in the afternoon, and the domestic media soon found out.
“‘Passengers’ is about to start filming, and director Lin Nan declined the invitation to be a guest presenter at the Venice Awards!”
"Four Chinese-language films have been shortlisted for the competition unit, and we may be able to add another golden lion this year..."
…………
China Film Co., Ltd. is the host, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei attended, and the guests of "Passengers" The creators sat together and had a meal.
“Sister Yifei.”
After meeting, Reba was the first to call Liu Yifei.
This made Miss Liu, who was holding Lin Nan's arm and already in a good mood, smile even brighter.
“Long time no see, Reba.”
“Oh, sit down quickly, sit down and chat slowly.”
Zhou Xun urged carelessly, and was already doing it himself When I added some red wine, I didn’t forget to pour it for Lei Jiayin.
Han Sanping was sitting at the main seat, with Andy Lau and Tony Leung beside him, who were chatting about something just now.
"Director Lin, I have to trouble you to adjust the scene and give me two days."
Hearing Liu Dehua's words, Lin Nan didn't react for a while.
"Congratulations to him, that "Sister Peach" was shortlisted for the Golden Lion Award."
Lin Nan suddenly realized that he had not thought about that at all.
Liu Dehua is the male lead in "Sister Peach" and is eligible to compete for the Volpi Cup Best Actor Award.
"Congratulations, Bro. I will adjust the filming schedule to give you time."
It can be seen that Andy Lau intends to only attend the opening and closing ceremonies and does not want to delay the filming of the movie.
After a meal, the time to turn on the computer was decided.
Three days later, in the morning, a small opening ceremony was held at the China Film Digital Production Base, and the shooting officially started in the afternoon.
…………
The time has arrived on July 23rd.
The daily box office of "Painted Skin 2" dropped to just over two million.
And its total box office, after 22 days of release, officially exceeded 700 million!
The third director of the 700 million box office club in China was born.
No one doubts that "Painted Skin 2" can surpass "Let the Bullets Fly" at the box office.
Because "Painted Skin 2" is only 8 million away, and its release date is still a week away.
“This 700 million director, to be honest, is a bit watery. At least 400 million of them were brought by "Painted Skin 1"."
"In other words, "Painted Skin 2" Director Lin takes more than half of the credit for the success..."
...
The various comments from the outside world did not affect Wu Ershan at all. He also posted a Weibo ：
"Thank you Director Lin Nan for giving me the opportunity to direct "Painted Skin 2".
If he had directed it himself, the box office might have been far more than this, and he would have probably wiped out his own record. Thank you Director Lin... "
Seeing the news, Lin Nan could only smile and shake his head, "Maybe"
…………
Warner and Lionsgate announced it first. "Pacific Rim" release date.
Immediately afterwards, China Film Group added fire to the domestic Lunar New Year movies.
“With an investment of US$160 million, the Sino-US science fiction blockbuster "Pacific Rim" will be released simultaneously in the mainland on January 1 next year!"
Lin Nan Pictures and Wanda Pictures , followed by forwarding the message.
At this moment, the film industry can be described as “extremely angry”.
We all know that the Lunar New Year festival starts in December and ends on New Year’s Eve at the end of January. A large number of commercial films are concentrated during this period.
What does China Film’s behavior mean? This is a ferocious beast that has been let in, and it is the kind that wants to eat people!
It can be said that the movies released in early December will not be affected by "Pacific Rim" at all.
But those movies that start in mid-December and end before New Year's Eve, within one and a half months, are all within the hunting scope of "Pacific Rim"!
This is completely unacceptable for big investment commercial films such as "The Thirteen Hairpins", "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" and "The Great Magician".
Zhang Weiping is the most radical. Although "Pacific Rim" will appear half a month after "The Thirteen Hairpins" was released, he is still the first to fire as if he had been exposed to dynamite.
"What does the mountain eagle want to do? Suppress domestic films? Prey on foreigners' self-respect? As for my conscience, the dog ate it..."
There has been a lot of noise in the industry, all because of the schedule of "Pacific Rim".
Lin Nan heard that many people from film companies went to China Film and Television, and finally left in disgrace.
According to policy, co-production films fully enjoy the treatment of domestic films.
What's more, domestic capital accounts for more than half of the investment in "Pacific Rim".
Even if these people jointly file a lawsuit with the General Administration, it will not change the established fact that "Pacific Rim" will be released on New Year's Day.
The media loves this kind of excitement.
""Pacific Rim" will be released on New Year's Day. Whether it can replicate the miracle of "Avatar" at the beginning of last year, we will wait and see."
As an investor and screenwriter, Lin Nan knows the details situation. Warner and Lionsgate have made two versions, 2D and 3D, in order to fully harvest the box office.
According to Guo Fan's return, if this movie were put on the IMAX 3D screen, the visual effects would definitely be very shocking.
Lin Nan estimates that "Pacific Rim" will easily exceed 1 billion at the box office when it is released during the Chinese New Year period!
…………
There was still noisy outside, and many people even called Lin Nan, but he didn’t answer.
“Everyone has a brain problem. I am one of the investors and I will definitely support the Lunar New Year release!”
…………
Liu Yifei did not ask the makeup artist to come over today, but chose to do light makeup by herself.
"Oh, you, hurry up and go away, you are too slow, clumsy..."
Okay, Lin Nan was disliked.
It turns out that drawing split shots and drawing eyebrows are different!
More than an hour later, Liu Yifei finished applying light makeup.
Both of them are wearing black printed T-shirts, casual jeans, and canvas shoes.
But Liu Yifei, wearing black sunglasses covering most of her face and with long hair shawl, is even more eye-catching.
“Let’s go, Director Lin.” Liu Yifei dragged Lin Nan.
“Okay, Producer Liu.”
…………
China Film Digital Production Base.
The opening ceremony must not be held in the studio of "Passengers", but in an exhibition hall.
Han Sanping, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Ye Ning, Wang Changtian and people from the Aerospace Science and Technology Group are all here.
In addition, Andy Lau, Zhou Xun, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Lei Jiayin, Reba, and the special effects crew of Tiangong Color are also good.
"Hey, today is still a couple's outfit. The black T-shirt looks more and more white and tender..."
Zhou Xun is not good at it, but fortunately Liu Yifei is very agile and can dodge quickly.
"Sister, if you don't eat people, why are you running away?"
"You are almost becoming a female gangster, hahaha..."
Liu Yifei complained with a smile.
"Brother Xun, don't bring trouble to yourself. Sissi hit you twice without asking..."
Lin Nan's joke stopped abruptly in the middle of it. Pain in waist.
When more than twenty media reporters arrive, the launch conference can begin.
“All the filming of this movie will be done in the largest studio over there.”
“This is a science fiction romance movie, but the biggest enemy is the long-term A hundred years of time and vast universe and spiritual loneliness.”
...
"Director Lin, can we open up visits during the filming of this movie?"
Lin Nan did not answer, but Liu Yifei had already spoken with a smile on her face.
"Let me answer this question. During the filming of "Passengers", the media will not be allowed to visit the team, but actors will be allowed to visit the team."
"Huh? Why are only actors in the industry allowed to visit the team? ”
"The filming location is in the studio, and all the scenes are inside. Of course, they must be kept secret from the media.
Otherwise, wouldn't everyone know what the 'inside of the spacecraft' looks like?" Lin Nan said with a smile.
As for the actors coming to visit the class?
Lin Nan has already thought about it. If an acquaintance comes to visit the class, give him a chance to lie down in the dormant cabin.
Of course, he will also take the initiative to invite a group of people to come and make guest appearances.
Several main creators were interviewed one by one, including the producer Liu Yifei.
“This will be the third movie I have produced. I think the job of a producer is quite interesting. It allows me to understand every detail of the filming of a movie...”
It can be seen that after experiencing "Xiu Chun Dao" and "Xing Lun", Liu Yifei has a better understanding of the work of producing and is already a qualified producer.
“Producer Liu said it well!”
Lin Nan shouted with a smile and clapped.
The crew members also followed suit one by one, applauding and laughing continuously.
Now, Liu Yifei felt embarrassed. Her pretty face turned slightly red and she gave Lin Nan a blank look.
After the opening ceremony, the media left the digital production base.
That afternoon, "Passengers" was officially launched.
…………
Online reports about "Passengers" have already come out.
"The third film produced by Liu Yifei, "Passengers" officially starts production today!"
"The crew of "Passengers" is open for visits, limited to actors in the industry..."
>
"Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, dressed in couple costumes, appeared at the opening ceremony..."
…………
"Director Han, it's better to choose a day than to hit it. Today you come first."
"What do you mean?" Han Sanping asked confused.
“There are so many sleeping cabins, you can choose one, it’s just a guest appearance.”
Lin Nan looked at Han Sanping and chuckled.
At this time, Han Sanping understood that the relationship was to attract a young man.
"Okay, I'll just make a cameo. I've almost never appeared in a movie. How about I give you this face and just lie down in it?"
"First put on the clothes designed by the Aerospace Technology Group. Come on, someone, Take Mr. San to change!"
Lin Nan shouted to the logistics team with a smile.
Han Sanping looked at Lin Nan speechlessly, his reputation was ruined bit by bit in this way!
