Chapter 379 Project establishment, youth film
The box office of "Hongmen Banquet" on the second day surprised many people.
The box office on the first day was still 20.4 million. How come it dropped nearly 3 million on the second day? The reported revenue was 17.5 million.
A large number of negative reviews and ridicules flooded the comment area of "Hongmen Banquet".
To be honest, Lin Nan found these comments funny.
"When they assassinated Qin Shihuang, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had not yet revolted.
That's it, Xiang Yu Ma Zai's line was actually: 'King Xiang, do you want to do it'? Who gave you the title of king? Have you traveled through time? ?”
“It’s like playing Go again, guessing your fingers, and biting off your tail finger. Is it appropriate to copy “Tian Long Ba Bu”? ”
“There are really no historical movies directed by Hong Kong Island. It’s hard to watch. All kinds of bugs make me, a novice in history, unable to help but wonder why!”
“This is not only a gangster movie, but also a time-traveling drama! , space and subject matter, the lines and plot of the film are filled with a sense of nonsensical joy from the beginning to the end..."
"Feng Shaofeng and Yang Mi, this couple is quite good..."
"As long as you don't watch "Hongmen Banquet" as a historical blockbuster, you can still watch it!"
… .........
The audience's mouth is always so direct and cruel!
Li Renggang was sprayed all over his body.
Many netizens even left messages of ridicule, asking him not to harm historical themes in the future.
"Look, I advised you not to take this drama at the time, otherwise the result would be this."
Liu Yifei held the script in her hand and smiled sweetly at Lin Nan:
"Well, Director Lin is great, thank you very much, little lady."
"But, looking at this, they will have to pay a lot for this movie, right?"
Facing Liu Yifei's question, Lin Nan nodded.
"What do you think? The investment in "Hongmen Banquet" has been increased to 200 million, and the pressure to repay the capital is not small.
And looking at the box office trend in the past two days, will the final total box office be reached? 200 million, it’s hard to say.
That’s all, it depends on whether “Thirteen Hairpins” and “Flying Swords of Dragon Gate” will be accepted.”
Lin Nan has automatically ignored Hua Yi and Tian. Entertainment's "Happy Magic".
The investment cost was 70 million, but the box office on the first day was only 1.1 million. What the hell is this?
The saddest thing is that there are very few criticisms of this movie on the Internet, and I am too lazy to criticize it!
Lin Nan heard from Yue Jun that Wang Zhonglei shouted at the premiere that the box office was guaranteed to be 150 million.
According to this first-day data, 15 million is on the line!
“Have you chosen the supporting roles in our movie? You didn’t tell me.”
Liu Yifei sat on the sofa, flipped through the script again, and suddenly asked Lin Nan.
"The filming location this time is on Hong Kong Island. I have to give some face to that place. I have already contacted the actor."
"Who will play the 'father' in my movie? Huh?" Liu Yifei's eyes suddenly lit up.
“Haha, I originally wanted to find Brother Hua, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. He just announced the news of his wife’s pregnancy two days ago.
It is estimated that after the filming of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is completed, He's going to be at home for a while, so I found someone better, guess what?"
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei and chuckled.
Miss Liu raised her head proudly and her ponytail swayed.
She said confidently: "Teacher Liang Jiahui!"
"Oh, you're pretty awesome, Sissy."
"Hmph, that's all you have. You can’t hide your thoughts from me, and you can’t deceive me!”
Liu Yifei's words left Lin Nan speechless more than once. This is not a good sign...
Where is Hanhan as promised? Why doesn't it work every time I'm with him? What to do next? Lin Nan has a headache!
…………
Everyone can use this skill.
As the reputation of "Hongmen Banquet" became worse and worse, at this time, Lu Chuan jumped out.
"Historical blockbusters definitely require slow work to produce fine work. The story of Chu-Han's struggle for hegemony cannot be separated from the turning point of "Hongmen Banquet".
"The King's Feast" lasted 13 days from preparation to filming. We will spend another year carefully polishing the later stage.
I hope next year’s Lunar New Year film will bring a real “feast” to the audience. ”
Lu Chuanyi! Weibo, in the eyes of insiders, is a naked attempt to add insult to injury and promote oneself. In addition, there is more revenge with a grudge.
After all, the director of "Hongmen Banquet" at that time was Lu Chuan, but he was kicked out by the management and lost his job...
Not to mention, Lu Tailang's publicity was quite effective, attracting a lot of discussion and attention, but it caused strong dissatisfaction on the "Hongmen Banquet" side.
"Character can be seen in words and deeds. Director Lu has been along the way. Which movie has character? "Kekexili" or "Nanjing"? Or is it the girlfriend's investment? It's too late to say anything. Oh, be careful and something happens if you get slapped in the face again..."
What should I say?
Although "Hongmen Banquet" has many bad reviews, Lin Nan couldn't help but like this Weibo post.
"Good guy, do you know a lot of people? Haha..."
…………
"Wudang" has entered the final stage.
Yang Mi’s mood is really bad.
When she originally took on this drama, she was focused on the investment scale, cast, and production team.
But who would have thought that such a historical blockbuster would not see any improvement in the box office, and its reputation would get worse and worse.
She thought about the advice the company had given her before, and she didn't know whether she should regret it or not.
“Don’t think so much. The movie lost money and the plot was criticized, but the audience only criticized the director, script and costume props, but no one blamed the actors...”
Zeng Jia's words made Yang Mi feel dazed for a while. It seems that she, the female lead, has indeed enjoyed the benefits of "Hongmen Banquet", and the audience has not come to trouble her or scold her!
"Well, as my fans have increased and my worth has increased, I don't regret taking this drama."
Yang Mi thought for a moment, nodded, and said seriously.
"You can prepare for "Love in Seattle" in advance in the past few days. Director Xue Xiaolu is a professor from Nortel. Her film should have very strict requirements and the quality is absolutely guaranteed."
Zeng Jia reminded in a low voice. After all, "Wu-Tang" hasn't really been finished yet. "You're right, I have to be more serious this time. Maybe "Love in Seattle" will be my masterpiece in the movie..."
Yang Mi thought of "Love Broke" Thirty-three days", my heart became even more determined.
…………
"Movie: "Genius Gunslinger".
Producer: Lin Nan Pictures, Hongxingwu.
Producer: Liu Yifei;
Director/Screenwriter: Lin Nan;
Main actors: Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen, Shu Chang, Luo Jin..."
When the film bureau's registration information was released, Lin Nan Pictures immediately disclosed the production information and main creative lineup of "Genius Gunslinger" to the outside world.
Every major director in the industry will always attract the attention of the entire film and television and entertainment circles when developing a new film project.
"Liu Yifei?"
"I knew it was her again. The heroine of "Love in Seattle" can be given to Yang Mi, so Liu Yifei must have a better choice, as expected!"
"Director Lin has deviated from the glorious tradition of Nortel directors. Shu Chang was not mentioned in the three major art schools. The other main actors are all from Nortel... This is inappropriate."
"This lineup is exquisite! Liu Yifei and Shu Chang are best friends, classmates with the other two, and classmates and lovers with Director Lin. All five of them have a good relationship...
This casting is based on Did you choose it because of your connections?”
…………
Many people came to tease Lin Nan, asking if the leader of the film school had given him a message.
“Look at the school’s official website, there is a newsletter about “Genius Gunner”, hahaha...”
Lin Nan was meeting Huo Wenxi when Liu Yifei called.
"Really? Then I'll go take a look and call you later."
"Are there guests?"
"You're really smart, guess what? That’s right.”
“Okay, I won’t disturb you now.”
After watching Lin Nan hang up the phone, Huo Wenxi smiled and spoke.
"Is it Yifei?"
"Well, it's her. Why did Director Huo come here in person? Just make a phone call."
Lin Nan said politely.
"China Film Yinghuang Artists Company has something to deal with, so I stopped by to visit Director Lin..."
Lin Nan nodded. This company was jointly established by Yinghuang and China Film and was responsible for the management of Yinghuang artists in the mainland.
However, the two companies are not on the same path, and they are quite far apart.
"What Director Lin told Director Yang last time has been settled. Director Yang asked me to ask when the crew is going to arrive, so Yinghuang should be prepared."
" "In late December, director Jiang Yuerou will take the filming team there first," Lin Nan gave the specific time.
“Actually, it’s not that troublesome. Yinghuang has a ready-made shooting team that Director Lin can use at will.”
Huo Wenxi said half-jokingly, which seemed true but false.
Lin Nan did not answer, just smiled and shook his head.
Every great director will train his own dedicated camera crew so that he can use his fingers like his own.
Lin Nan is no exception. Shooting like this is very efficient.
Often with a look, everyone knows what he wants to do and what he needs.
Lin Nan understood what Huo Wenxi meant. What is free is the most expensive, and favors are the most expensive!
…………
“The Genius Gunfighter invested 30 million and will be filmed on Hong Kong Island...”
A piece of news spread quickly. Mainland and Hong Kong film and television circles.
“Thirty million? Don’t worry about it. Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are paid zero, and the producer is their company!”
What everyone is most concerned about is the fact that the filming location was chosen on Hong Kong Island.
“Why did you choose Hong Kong Island? There is no place in the mainland?”
“Rumors, this is one of the prerequisites for Director Lin’s script to be reviewed.”
“ Some scripts can only be filmed because they are too rigid..."
...
The topic of "Genius Gunslinger" is constant here and it is very popular.
On the other side, a movie has also been announced, and crew preparations and casting have begun.
“Zhao Yanzi, a 06-level graduate student in the Directing Department of Nortel, has officially launched the graduation drama “To Our Fading Youth”.”
“It is reported that Zhao Yanzi and Lin Nan both belong to A postgraduate student in the Directing Department of Level 06, the former postponed his graduation for three years due to personal reasons..."
"Also a Nortel graduate student, Zhao Yanzi chose youth films to complete her studies this time. Compared with the Golden Lion Award directed by Lin Nan, The work "Hunting" is obviously not on the same level..."
"However, "Youth" will have the opportunity to compare head-on with Director Lin's "The Genius"."
…………
Lin Nan felt unlucky when seeing this news.
"Every one of them has to involve me? Is this necessary?"
Lin Nan noticed the investors of Zhao Yanzi's drama. Enlight and China Film Group are the largest producers. Come down It’s China Television and TVB Media.
"It's quite acceptable! Tens of millions of dollars, just to give it to a new director?"
"Youth movies! It's nothing more than: skipping classes, fighting, falling in love, jealousy, breaking up, going abroad, sleeping, and abortion , car accidents, terminal illnesses..."
Lin Nan couldn't help laughing when she thought of the elements of these youth films. These are just the routines, nothing more.
