Chapter 398: The Secret Key to Extension, Kung Fu Superstar
On the morning of the 31st, Lin Nan and his group walked out of the Capital Airport.
The reporters who were waiting for the news swarmed up and surrounded the group.
"Director Lin, when is "The Gunslinger" expected to be released to the audience?"
"How is the progress of "Passengers" going?"
"Yifei, what do you think about the conflict between Liu Shishi and Yang Mi?"
"Director Zhang Yimou has been involved in bad luck and scandals recently. Has Director Lin paid attention to it?"
...
These media outlets threw all the hot topics during this period to Lin Nan and the others.
"If nothing else goes wrong, "The Gunslinger" will be released during the Lunar New Year holiday at the end of the year; "Passengers" is in the process of special effects production and should be released soon.
As for the rivalry between actresses, you don’t need to ask Yifei, just compare their film and television works and net worth; as for Director Zhang’s matter, I didn’t pay much attention..."
Lin Nan did not let it go Liu Yifei replied that no matter what she said, these reporters would probably twist it into gossip.
They would even report on who Liu Yifei was targeting or belittling. Anyway, it would most likely be written in a way that attracts attention. After all, Ms. Liu originally wrote it. He was also famous for a while.
The media wanted to ask about "Pacific Rim", but Lin Nan pulled Liu Yifei and squeezed out with the help of several assistants.
< br>Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, and Shu Chang followed closely, and everyone got on the pick-up bus. Reba went back to school directly from Hong Kong Island.
"Aren't you going back with us?"
Liu Yifei asked quickly when she saw that Lin Nan did not get into the same car with her.
"Sissi, You and Changchang go back first, I have to go to China Film Academy. Director Han and the others are still waiting."
Hearing that it was business, Liu Yifei nodded, " Then come back soon."
"Yes, I will."
Several cars set off from the airport and drove in different directions.
…………
“Pacific Rim” dominated the domestic box office list in January.
Except for the domestic market, its overseas box office has exceeded US$350 million and is approaching US$400 million. Southeast Asian countries have contributed a lot to the box office.
As for the domestic box office of "Pacific Rim", that is the common focus of all theaters and the production industry.
To be precise, everyone is paying attention to the results of the split bet between Lin Nan and the theater chain.
1.2 billion box office, after excluding the special fund for film industry development and special business tax, its 46% is comparable to the 44.5% of 1 billion box office after excluding those two items, which is about 100 million more! What's more, it is now 1.15 billion, which is very close to 1.2 billion.
If Lin Nan succeeds, then the production industry will regard this book-sharing bet as a case, and latecomers will only need to copy it!
The vehicles entered China Film Group Corporation without any obstruction. A secretary was already waiting, taking Lin Nan straight to the chairman's office.
Han Sanping and Ye Ning were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea.
"You came very slowly, the news has already come out." Han Sanping joked.
Lin Nan was a little confused. Is this too slow? He went straight to China Film Academy.
“I have the text of your interview at the airport.”
Ye Ning pointed to the computer on the table:
“Director Lin’s new film is set for the Lunar New Year!”< br>
"Director Lin Nan hinted that Liu Shi's poems are not as good as Yang Mi's, especially taking his film works as an example..."
Lin Nan had a dark face, knowing that these people would add some spice, but it didn't matter.
“I didn’t mean it implicitly, I pointed it out explicitly later on!”
Lin Nan said embarrassedly.
"Let's talk about the extension of the secret key. What's going on now?" This is what Lin Nan is most concerned about.
Han Sanping and Ye Ning looked at each other and smiled. The former said: "Not long after I called you this morning, the notice from the bureau came down. I want to contact you again, but you are already on the plane."
"We got a one-month extension, and "Pacific Rim" will be released at the end of February!" Ye Ning added energetically.
Hearing this, Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief. This wave is stable!
“The new secret key can be produced within one day and is already being processed.”
“Then send a notice to cheer up. These media, this I have been pitiful for two days! ”
Lin Nan smiled and joked to himself.
…………
After talking about the business, it’s Han Sanping’s private matter.
“I want beautiful women to join your crew.”
“Huh? I’ve just finished my first year of study, and besides, our company currently has no shortage of screenwriters.”
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Han Sanping lost his face instantly, "She is a graduate student in the directing department!"
"But, I think she prefers screenwriting! Last time I met Lao Jiang and criticized her, saying She has never taken classes in the directing department, but likes to go to the literature department and the management school. She seems to be quite interested in production..."
Lin Nan didn't pay attention to Han Sanping's frozen face and smiled playfully. He finished speaking.
"No matter how much I like it, I have to have a graduation drama if I want to graduate. If I go to your place, my resume will look better."
Yes, Chairman Han said this. , Lin Nan definitely can't refuse anymore.
"But I've made two movies in a row. I'm afraid I'm going to have to take a break in the short term. Can other movies in the company be OK?"
Han Sanping and Ye Ning suddenly became excited and sat upright.
“What project?”
“Next, the company will produce 2 to 3 movies, the first of which will be the second part of the "囧" series."
""People on the Road"?" Ye Ning asked.
"Yes, this time I will write the script, and Xu Zhan will direct."
"What about the other one or two?" Han Sanping spoke up.
"An action movie, the script has not yet been decided. There is another one, most likely it will be a soft science fiction."
"Then let Jia Nu go to the "囧" series and be an executive director. . After all, the first one was profitable, so the sequel should not be bad."
Lin Nan nodded, "Of course, if Director Han convinces her that if she comes in and causes trouble, then I will handle business as usual. ." Han Sanping nodded, saying it was no problem.
"What about investment? Can Wanda follow?"
"The investment is not high..."
Before Lin Nan finished speaking, he saw Ye Ning He shook his head.
“Forget it, the first one didn’t even have a box office of over 100 million, so Wanda won’t join in the fun for the second one.”
"So is China Film."
…………
After having lunch at China Film, Lin Nan left.
When returning to the villa, Liu Yifei happily announced the good news.
She has just received an invitation from the acting department, asking her to return to school to be a guest for this year's art exam.
"Are you sure?"
As soon as Lin Nan said these words, she knew she was going to suffer.
Liu Yifei stared at him coldly, as if if you don't apologize, I will beat you to death.
"Well, I mean, which round are you going to go to?" Lin Nan hesitated.
“Re-examination guest.”
"Okay, the retest went well. Congratulations, Teacher Liu Yifei..."
"Hahaha, you are embarrassed to call me teacher." Miss Liu was quite happy to hear this.
"So, Teacher Liu Yifei, let's play a game?"
Lin Nan said jokingly, smiling a little inappropriately.
Miss Liu was stunned for a few seconds, suddenly her cheeks turned red, and she entered her villa without looking back.
"Bah, gangster..."
...
...
China Film, Wanda Pictures, and Lin Nan Pictures announced the film bureau's documents almost at the same time .
""Pacific Rim" has received the film extension key after application, and the period is one month."
The documents stamped with red seals were also posted on Weibo.
The news spread and immediately attracted the attention of various media, theater companies and the production industry!
“It’s still here! This is too overbearing, leaving no way for others to survive...”
“The stronger get stronger. This is indeed in line with the application rules for extending the secret key. But no one expected that "Pacific Rim" would succeed! After all, "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" both failed. "
"Director Lin Nan's 1.2 billion box office, 46% of the split. The gambling agreement is now stable, and you will make a profit!”
"Objection! This is completely partial, just because it is a co-production with Hollywood?"
...
"Very good, it should not be difficult to open the IMAX 3D giant screen theater next month Tickets bought.”
“Support extension...”
……
Once the news was made public, theaters silently accepted it because everyone knew that this was a win-win situation.
Although several producers, including Lin Nan Pictures, can get 46% of the revenue sharing ratio, theaters earn more...
The biggest and biggest objection, Coming from the film industry.
People’s hearts are complicated. In the past, “Pacific Rim” needed to take the lead and compete with the theaters. , everyone must express solidarity and support.
But "Pacific Rim" really got the key to postponement, and everyone couldn't accept it, because it would affect their movie...
Audiences and movie fans are almost all satisfied, because those who have not bought 3D tickets before will not have to fight for them, and maybe the ticket prices will be reduced.
…………
The postponement of "Pacific Rim" is a foregone conclusion and no one can change it.
At this time, an eye-catching movie announced the launch conference time and invited guests from the entertainment industry.
"The action blockbuster "Special Identity", wholly-owned by Starlight, joined by two Chinese action superstars, and starring Jing Tian as the heroine, is scheduled to hold a launch conference in Beijing on February 7th!"< br>
When mentioning Donnie Yen, the first thing that people think of is "Ip Man". Two "Ip Man" films made him successful!
When it comes to Zhao Wenzhuo, the most memorable thing is his performance in Hong Kong movies and his dozens of meters long blood-drinking sword!
At this stage, after Jackie Chan and Jet Li, these two can barely afford the title of action superstars.
As for Jing Tian, her most dazzling resume is "The Martian" and the currently released "Pacific Rim", especially the latter.
Lin Nan received a call from Jing Tian, "Brother Lin, can you invite you to attend the launch conference of "Special Identity"? Together with Sister Yifei."
Lin Nan just thought of Zhao Wenzhuo!
"Okay."
"Thank you, Brother Lin, then, I won't disturb you."
"Well, play well."
……
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan called his assistant in, "Where's Director Yue?"
"Director Lin, Director Yue went to visit the crew of "Jing Zhong Yue Fei". The visiting class there was only opened yesterday."< br>
"Oh, visits are open! That means the filming is almost finished. Okay, you go contact Xu Zheng and ask him to come to the company."
"Okay Director Lin, I'm here Just go."
Lin Nan decided to settle the matter of "囧囧" first, and then meet Zhao Wenzhuo.
