Chapter 358: I’m crazy about you in this life
The premiere of "Revolution of 1911", produced by Shanghai Film Group Corporation and Changchun Film Group Corporation, was held half a month in advance.
The location was not chosen in the capital, but in Jinling.
Ren Zhonglun arrogantly declared that this film will compete with China Film Group Corporation's "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "The Founding of the Party" in terms of both word-of-mouth and box office, and will eventually surpass and surpass them.
This kind of public announcement, from the perspective of the industry, feels like Ren Zhonglun is going to compete with Han Sanping in the ring, which is very interesting.
The journey was a bit far, so Lin Nan was too lazy to go and only sent blessings on Weibo.
…………
The competition between top female stars is really exciting.
A few days ago, Li Bingbing got "Resident Evil 5", and there was a wave of cynicism against Zhang Ziyi on the Internet.
Today, Zhang Ziyi returned.
She made a high-profile announcement that she would star in the romance film "Dangerous Liaisons" with an investment of up to 200 million, and revealed that her salary would be 20 million.
“Commercial value cannot be increased by playing the second female lead in a foreign language film. Artistic films can also be used. Of course, it depends on who plays the role...”
These remarks are a naked retaliation and ridicule of Li Bingbing's "Resident Evil 5" some time ago.
The good-hearted media and netizens are starting to get angry again...
Zhang Ziyi's salary this time is indeed a bit exaggerated. Everyone in the industry knows that she has never been a blockbuster actress.
Lin Nan estimated that this remuneration quotation was most likely due to the novel from which the film was based.
After all, Zhang Ziyi has won many awards. For a movie queen to participate in a literary film whose original work has been repeatedly banned by the European Court of Justice on the grounds of "obscene and indecent content", she deserves to be paid more.
Thinking about it, the gimmicks used in the promotion of this movie will definitely not be small, and the external copyright transactions will definitely not suffer losses!
“Everyone is fighting for their breath, the international chapter is still the international chapter, it’s really a big deal, it’s decisive!”
…………
The movie "The Founding of the Party", which was mentioned in the above-mentioned article, finally received its release date.
The three-month release period disgusted all the production companies in the film industry.
The box office of this movie did not far exceed that of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" as Han Sanping once boasted.
On the contrary, it was a little worse than the latter, with a final revenue of 402 million.
When the industry thinks about the box office performance of "The Founding of the Party", they feel a sigh of relief.
You must know that it has reached 300 million in half a month, but it is a pity that I encountered "Painted Skin 2" and was pushed down.
Since then, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" has been in trouble. It took a month and a half to reach 350 million, and it took another month and a half, but it only added 50 million in box office, and finally passed the 400 million threshold. , draw next!
In fact, compared to the cost, "The Great Cause of Party Building" made a lot of money.
But after being delayed for so long, the box office is far from reaching the expected target. In Han Sanping's eyes, this is a loss!
At this moment, Han Sanping was not in a good mood.
Who knew that there would be some people who didn't have good eyesight, and they would come here to take advantage of the situation!
The short guy who just came out of prison stood up.
He bluntly said that "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" stole the box office of "Dai Wu Sheng" in the last half month, even as much as 20%.
It can be said that fans are the most brainless. Fans of Han Geng and Wu Zun started various "sexy operations".
The official Weibo of "The Great Cause of Party Building" is full of ugly words and filthy words.
You know, this is a movie directed by Han Sanping! If you are short and tight, you can imagine the consequences.
Only one day later, news came out in the industry that "The Great Warrior" had been cut by 80% from its schedule in several major theaters.
The reason given by the theater chain company is very legitimate: due to the poor box office response of "The Great Takero", adjusting the film schedule is a reasonable market behavior for the theater chain.
When Gao Dajin posted on Weibo again, hurriedly saying that he had made a mistake and apologizing, China Film did not pay attention at all...
A movie that was not a good box office to begin with, this Suddenly he was completely trampled to death.
…………
Lin Nan received Huayi’s shareholder letter at the company.
These two brothers have really big appetites.
Before, we obtained one thousand acres of land each in Shanghai and Suzhou, and now the investment plan has come out.
Huayi is expected to invest 7 billion to build two "cultural cities". The scale of this fund has far exceeded Huayi's investment in the film and television industry.
In the morning, the news from the outside world spread completely, and Huayi's stock price jumped up in response, rising by nearly three points in half a day.
With all kinds of compliments in the industry, Huayi’s leading position seems to be even more unshakable!
Lin Nan thought about the Huayi shares in his hand, and suddenly felt good.
No matter what Huayi does, he can just choose the right time and leave! As for other issues, that's not something he needs to consider, and it's none of his business.
The premiere ceremonies of "Painted Wall" and "The Legend of White Snake" were both held ten days before the release date. At this time, the two companies have already begun to warm up for the premieres.
Throughout the film and television industry, many people face a very tangled problem.
They both received invitations to the premieres of these two movies at the same time, but it was obvious that they could only go to one.
Juli appears to be wealthy and powerful, and the crew of "The Legend of White Snake" is even more famous.
Cheng Xiaodong, Cui Baozhu, Li Lianjie, Lin Feng, Wen Zhang, Huang Shengyi and others are all famous in the industry...
On the other hand, "Painting on the Wall" has a relatively small investment, but it can be obtained. There are only four people, Chen Jiashang, Yan Ni, Deng Chao and Sun Li, and no one else. Even if there are, they are all small actors.
From Yang Zai's point of view, it should be obvious how to choose. His side will definitely have the advantage!
Just when he was feeling self-righteous and complacent, his assistant came over with an ugly expression.
"Mr. Yang, something happened."
"Huh? What happened?"
Yang Zai frowned and had a bad feeling. .
"We received a lot of calls from agents and agencies. They couldn't come on the day of the premiere of "The Legend of White Snake".
In addition, some film and television companies also responded in the same way..."
The assistant's voice gradually became softer, because Yang Zai's face had become very gloomy.
“What are they?” Yang Zai said, suppressing the fire in his heart.
“Most of the big directors, producers, and first-line stars you listed separately said they couldn’t come, and some companies said their vice presidents would come...”
"Get out!"
Before the assistant could finish speaking, Yang Zai shouted loudly.
A few minutes later, the faint sound of breaking porcelain could be heard in Yang Zai's office, and the work area of the employees outside suddenly became silent.
…………
Some media have already started reporting.
"According to Guangguang, the guests at the premiere of "Painted Wall" will include most of the first-line celebrities and filmmakers in the film and television industry..."
The news did not mention other movies, but everyone immediately "The Legend of White Snake" comes to mind.
Everyone can already imagine what will happen at the premiere over there. The scene will definitely not be good-looking!
The media has been waiting for that day. Comparing the news from both sides will definitely be exciting.
In this wave, Guangguang’s status and influence in the industry have been fully demonstrated.
.........
Lin Nan returned to the villa with the song score that the company had hired someone to prepare. He had to take a look at it again.
The theme song of "Passengers" has been decided.
“What is this?”
Liu Yifei saw what Lin Nan was holding and took it.
"A song? "Light Years Away"!"
Miss Liu's eyes lit up instantly and she started humming.
Lin Nan just looked at her with a smile.
Although Liu Yifei's singing is also very nice, Lin Nan hopes that the singer's voice can be more ethereal and pure, in line with the deep and lonely feeling of space. "The theme song of "Passengers"? Can I sing it?"
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan with joy, but before the latter could answer, she shook her head again.
"My voice doesn't seem to be able to sing that feeling... Humph, it's all your fault!"
Lin Nan was stunned. Your voice is like that, not airy enough. Blame it on me? How unreasonable!
On the outside, Liu Yifei is always a mature and steady actress, occasionally a bit straight and naive;
But in private, she is completely different when she is with Lin Nan. She has a petty temper and Small tempered and rogue...
"Haha, okay, blame me."
Lin Nan readily accepted the accusation and added:
"I'm going to try with Zhang Liangying."
Hearing this Liu Yifei nodded and looked at Lin Nan, "She is quite suitable. Let me call her."
"Then leave it to you. Well, you know which song I like best by her Song? ”
"I don't know, please tell me first which song of mine is your favorite?"
Liu Yifei stared at Lin Nan, a little arrogant and a little unhappy.
"Haha..."
Lin Nan covered his chest and laughed out loud. He remembered Liu Yifei's song "Heart Palpitations" again, dancing and singing on the stage, with that dress, It almost gave him heart palpitations.
"Which song? Tell me quickly." Liu Yifei looked directly at Lin Nan and urged.
"Everything." Lin Nan opened his mouth to speak against his will.
"Well, another lie."
Miss Liu smiled and rolled her eyes at Lin Nan, "You like that song "Unparalleled in the World"!"
Lin Nan looked at it Liu Yifei looked confident, she really knew.
Miss Liu’s delicate face is something people never tire of seeing.
At this moment, there is a feeling of peace and tranquility, and Lin Nan hopes it can stay like this.
"I am crazy about you in this life, and this love is unparalleled in the world.
Your "Little Dragon Girl" has always been engraved in my mind.
At that time, I I should spend two million to hit Zhang Jizhong..."
Lin Nan said every word, very seriously. Liu Yifei smiled and her eye circles slowly turned red.
There was someone else in my arms, sobbing softly.
"Where did you spend so much money?" Liu Yifei whispered, really happy.
"Thinking about it now, I do regret it..."
Lin Nan tightened the person in her arms and spoke softly, her mind filled with memories.
……
.........
Liu Yifei dialed the phone, and Zhang Liangying on the other side was very excited.
“Thank you, Yifei. No, it should be thank you, Producer Liu!”
“Don’t be so polite, we are friends. If you have time, go to Lin Nanying Let's go to see Yue Jun to sign the contract..."
"Yeah, thank you, and thank you, Director Lin. I'll have time tomorrow and stop by to see you."
"Okay."
…………
The media took photos of Zhang Liangying entering the Lin Nan Film Building, which instantly caused a heated discussion on the Internet.
“I am very grateful to Director Lin and Yifei for giving me the opportunity. I will sing the theme song of the science fiction romance blockbuster, "Passengers"."
A simple Weibo, let the whole music The circle is no longer calm.
Counting the previous "Painted Heart", this is Zhang Liangying's second blockbuster theme song.
And the theme songs of these two blockbusters are both Lin Nan's movies.
Unlike "Painted Skin" which had an investment cost of 100 million, the production cost of "Passengers" this time was as high as 250 million!
Many singers know that it was Liu Yifei who introduced "Drawing Heart" to Zhang Liangying. Think about the theme song of "Passengers" this time...
Sure enough, in this circle, To hang around, you still need to have connections! For Zhang Liangying, Liu Yifei is that kind of precious connection!
…………
Lu Chuan has become a joke in the industry.
"The King's Feast" was launched more than two months earlier than "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet". As a result, the latter has been completed for almost two months, and there is no sign of completion on Lu Chuan's side.
Not only is there no sign of completion of "The King's Feast", Lu Chuan is still asking for money.
Qin Hong from Xingmei got angry and posted on Weibo:
"Don't take my politeness and tolerance as something you can bully or deceive! Don't go too far!
Since you don't have the ability, you shouldn't have come to me for investment in the first place. I'm already considering withdrawing from "The King" "Feast"..."
Yinghuang is also a little bit stuck, and investment is constantly increasing, but Lu Chuan is too slow, and costume movies are too expensive...
All in the industry Watch the excitement and wait to see Lu Chuan's jokes.
Do you have the ability to imitate other people’s shooting of historical themes? It’s a trap!
Lu Chuan immediately found a seemingly dignified platform for himself. This guy first posted a self-indulgent Weibo:
"Isn't it just a movie? What a big deal. Director Qin , no need to be angry..."
Immediately afterwards, I heard that Lu Chuan rushed back to the capital from the set and met with two investors.
I don’t know how this guy came to kneel down and lick Qin Hong and Yang Shoucheng. It is also possible that the two companies were trapped here and were unwilling to give up the project, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and move on.
The final result was that Lu Chuan once again deceived him into paying 40 million, and promised that it would be completed within two months!
Then Qin Hong deleted Weibo, and Xingmei and Yinghuang re-posted the announcement:
"The additional investment in "The King's Feast" will reach 140 million, and all filming is expected to be completed by the end of October or early November."
Maybe it was to divert everyone's attention. After all, after being scolded by Qin Hong on Weibo, Lu Chuan directly spoke to the outside world.
"I guarantee with my personality that "The King's Feast" will definitely be an epic blockbuster with a box office of 300 million yuan!"
Lu Chuan's post has just been posted. I was instantly surrounded by ridicule from netizens.
After "Nanjing", Lu Chuan's character has completely disappeared in the eyes of many viewers and netizens, and he still has a shitty personality!
Now the teasing and ridicule started, it was just a swarm, showing no mercy...
"You shouted 300 million even before the filming was finished. Is there such a fart? ? Let’s brew it up!”
“This is your first commercial film, and it’s a historical one. I advise you, Taro, to take it easy and don’t talk big.”
“Director Lin Nan and Jiang Wen. Director, you don’t even dare to make such a guarantee before the movie is finished. How can you compare with them?”
……
…………
“Director Lin, then I will go to the “Legend of White Snake”?” Yue Jun asked.
"Well, you go over there.
Only the special effects of their movie have anything to do with us. Don't bother with other topics."
Lin Nan warned Yue Jun and then hung up the phone.
Immediately afterwards Wang Changtian’s call came in.
"Director Wang, are you so urging?"
"Haha, I only urge you if I value you. When will it arrive? Today you have to speak on behalf of Tiangong Colors... ”
Lin Nan smiled and shook his head.
He glanced at Liu Yifei, who had just been pulled out of bed by Liu Xiaoli, who was looking irritable at the moment, and said to Wang Changtian:
"Yifei is putting on makeup, we will be there soon."
“Okay, see you later.”
…………
Today is a special situation and I had another blind date, so I only wrote one chapter.
