Chapter 425 The Regret of "Thieves" begins to promote
"Director Lin, congratulations."
Domestic news has been transmitted back to Cannes.
When many people saw Lin Nan, they started joking and congratulating each other, talking about the successful copyright sale of "Passengers".
“Thank you, is it still Chinese style this time?”
Lin Nan was indeed in a good mood and chatted a few more words with Fan Bingbing.
“Yes, this time it is an embroidered dress in the style of enamel. The patterns include: the drunken imperial concubine, Diao Chan worshiping the moon, Xi Shi’s veil and Zhaojun’s departure from the fortress. The hairstyle is the Tang Dynasty lady’s hanging bun..."
To be honest, Lin Nan admires Fan Bingbing. She has indeed done a lot to promote Chinese culture, and she always attracts the attention and heated discussion of foreign media.
Originally, Lin Nan just asked casually, but who knew that Fan Bingbing had said so much and actually told him about the dress and attire he was going to wear on the red carpet of the closing ceremony.
"Then I hope you will be the focus of the red carpet."
"For your kind words..."
Actors and stars will not leave Cannes until the awards ceremony is over. Especially for these female stars, the red carpet is their battlefield for each other.
Lin Nan is not the case. He has already booked a flight back to China.
After completing copyright transactions, many directors and crews also did not choose to stay too long.
The night before the award ceremony, Lin Nan got on the plane back to China.
It is estimated that by the time he lands at the Capital Airport, the red carpet for the closing ceremony of Cannes will be about to begin.
Jiang Yuerou will be back two days late. She still has some details to deal with in the copyright transaction.
Walking with Jiang Wen was something Lin Nan did not expect.
There were no outsiders in the first class cabin. Jiang Wen pulled Lin Nan to talk about the new script he had just written not long ago, and he was in high spirits.
Lin Nan raised his left hand and looked at the watch that Miss Liu personally selected for him when he came to Cannes.
"Director Jiang, why don't you take a break? I want to get off the jet lag."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wen and Ma Ke beside him were stunned. The former looked annoyed:
"Holy shit, brother, isn't my script exciting? Can it make you sleepy after listening to it?"
Lin Nan yawned, "It's mainly because there are still a lot of things to do after I go back. ..."
"If I go back to sleep later, it will take ten hours to fly, so I have plenty of time."
Jiang Wen pulled Lin Nan and continued to talk about his "One Step Away", and asked the reviewers to comment from time to time.
To be honest, Lin Nan just made an excuse because he didn't want to hear it anymore. In his opinion, "Let the Bullets Fly" was so successful that Director Jiang started to let himself go again.
Lin Nan’s kind suggestions were all rounded off by Jiang Wen, so how can we evaluate them? Full hypnosis!
More than half an hour later, Jiang Wen finished speaking emotionally.
"How about it? This time I am going to compete with Hollywood productions and go directly to 3D and IMAX..."
"Haha, Director Lin has been asleep for a while." Ma Ke couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Wen then turned his head and glanced at Lin Nan next door.
"Hey! This guy is so unlucky."
"Lao Ma, you can submit the script for review after you go back, and then it will be up to you to establish the project, budget and prepare for it. I You have to master 3D shooting first..."
"Okay, no problem"
…………
When I woke up, it was already almost time to land...
Plugging the suitcase in hand, before leaving the airport, I could see the dazzling sunshine outside.
At this time, sharp-eyed reporters had already raised their cameras through the fence.
Lin Nan, Jiang Wen and others walked quickly outside.
The billboards on both sides attracted Lin Nan's attention. They were promotional posters for "Four Famous Catchers".
“It’s moving very quickly?”
If you think about it carefully, it will be released in just one month, so it’s time to start promoting it.
Lin Nan deliberately fell a few steps behind. Jiang Wen and Ma Ke were surrounded by a large wave of reporters as soon as they left the airport.
"Director Jiang, when will you start casting for "One Step Away"? Will there be open auditions?"
"It's still early, I haven't thought about where to go. By the way, Lin Nan is behind, you guys go find him."
Lin Nan, who was about to leave the airport and quickly slipped away, was immediately stared at by many people. , one bad move, Jiang Wen is ruthless!
"Director Lin, how much is the copyright income from "The Genius"? Compared with "Passengers", is it more or less..."
"Director Wang Xiaoshuai is dissatisfied with his "I 11" 》The film scheduling rate is too low, and they angrily criticized the theaters for giving all the film scheduling to "Hollywood Godfathers". What do the two directors think about this? ”
……
"The sales of the copyright are pretty good, and they will be announced later. I haven't heard about the rest yet, so I can't comment, so let's give it a try..."
Lin Nan has already seen Liu Yifei's new car from a distance, and got rid of it. After being surrounded, he walked quickly.
Youth is an advantage. Looking at Jiang Wen, he probably won’t be able to get rid of the group of media reporters for a while.
“Let’s go, let’s go.”
After putting away the box and getting into the passenger seat, Lin Nan said to Miss Liu, who was wearing big sunglasses.
"Okay, fasten your seat belt and go home."
......
On the way, Lin Nan listened to Liu Yifei talk about the movie market for more than a week.
He finally understood why the reporter just asked so many extreme questions.
The box office of "Avengers" has exceeded 500 million, and it has not yet been released. "Men in Black 3" has followed suit, with a box office of 50 to 60 million every day.
"The box office of "The Great Robbery" was 186 million, and the total box office of "The Man" was 27.4 million, and they were all released."
""Killing" was canceled by the theaters in advance, and the total box office was only 10 million. "By the way, Brother Xiao Ming also wrote an open letter reflecting on the reality of the box office failure of "Piff", saying: Although it failed at the box office, he will not regret it, will not give up investing in movies, and will continue... "
......
Lin Nan nodded, this is indeed Huang Xiaoming's character.
In short, except for "The Robbery", all other domestic films end up with cannon fodder endings.
Wang Xiaoshuai's "I 11" was invested and produced by himself and has already been rescheduled once.
This time it was only released for a week, but it was abandoned by the theaters, with a box office of more than 3 million, a huge loss! That's why he yelled publicly.
Liu Yifei holds the steering wheel with both hands, like an experienced driver. While waiting at the red light, she looked at Lin Nan expectantly.
"Tell me, how much did our "Genius Gunner" sell for? Many people came to ask me, but you didn't tell me on the phone before."
"83.65 million, US dollars."
Lin Nan held Miss Liu's face, kissed her red lips, and separated after more than ten seconds, which was quite sweet.
“Ah! So many?!”
Liu Yifei had an incredible expression on her face, which was more than twice as many as in "The Fault in Our Stars".
“After this movie is released, your net worth and salary will definitely increase again, whether at home or abroad.”
Lin Nan vowed that he was very confident about the box office performance of "Genius Gunman".
On the other hand, it is also because those European and American film producers are unanimously optimistic about "The Genius Gunfighter".
"Well, then I'll wait."
Liu Yifei nodded gently and exhaled like a blue. Then came a kick of the accelerator, which shocked Lin Nan.
…………
"Director Lin Nan and Director Jiang Wen walked together and arrived at the Capital Airport at noon."
"The amount of the copyright transaction for "Genius Gunslinger" is unknown. Director Lin revealed: Not bad."
" "One Step Away" There are no casting plans in the short term..."
"Ms. Chen Hong announced that "Search" sold US$13.8 million in Cannes and has doubled the profit!"
< br>“The promotion of domestic films in the summer season has begun.”
.........
After Lin Nan had phone calls with China Film and Television, the copyright issue for "Passengers" came to an end.
"How are the advertisements accompanying the film "The Genius"?"
"Director Lin, the contract for three advertisements has been signed, totaling 86 million, and the short film has also been obtained. ”
“Okay. Go and notify that the promotion can begin. Also contact Zhu Yawen and set aside time to prepare for the promotion.”
"Okay, I'll go right away."
It's been a long time since Lin Nan started movie promotion two months in advance. The last few movies have started a month in advance because his influence is enough .
But with this "Genius Gunslinger", Lin Nan hopes that it can make up for the regrets of the original "Thieves".
So it is necessary to start publicity in advance, and he will personally lead the team.
“The threshold of 1 billion?”
“One billion!”
…………
The Cannes Awards Ceremony is over.
As expected, apart from the powerful Gong Li, Fan Bingbing was still the most talked about on the red carpet, steadily suppressing Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing and others.
But the actress’s previous struggles were not limited to the public.
As soon as the closing ceremony red carpet ended, a large number of netizens and some media here in China accused Fan Bingbing: wearing the hairstyle of an island geisha on the Cannes red carpet is simply an embarrassment to the Chinese people.
Some actors are also praising and criticizing the comments. This move has a very clear meaning: they are stepping down on Fan Bingbing.
How to say it? Being uneducated is indeed quite funny and easy to make jokes.
When it comes to hype and controlling public opinion, Fan Bingbing’s publicity director Yang Tianzhen is indeed very good at it.
She directly called several official history museums, "Experts please explain to everyone the hairstyle and headgear of the Ice Soldier."
As expected, everyone was slapped in the face. This is a serious hairstyle from the Tang Dynasty, something that belongs to China, not the island country!
Fan Bingbing’s Weibo is very domineering. It’s good to see the big ladies fighting each other:
“We are all colleagues. If you have anything to say, please do it openly. I will not laugh at you for being ugly or ugly on the red carpet. Ping, but don’t be so ignorant. Even the people in your own team are not knowledgeable and have no skills. After all, they have acted in movies with that kind of role..."
After this Weibo came out, people who didn’t understand it also understood it. .
Isn’t the movie that everyone thinks of first is "Memoirs of a Geisha"?
Coupled with the words "flat" and "ugly", good guy, Fan Bingbing's connotation was instantly identified.
…………
The first batch of posters for "The Genius Gunfighter" quickly spread online and filled all major theaters.
On the poster, the background is a classroom.
Liu Yifei is wearing a school uniform, with her chin raised slightly, her face is delicate and delicate, looking forward, cold and wise.
The other three people were half a body behind, each with their own expressions.
Zhu Yawen frowned and had a serious look on her face; Luo Jin dressed luxuriously and smiled;
Shu Chang smiled like a fool, grabbing one of Liu Yifei's sleeves, as if A follower...
At the bottom is a line of small words: Directed by Lin Nan, produced by Liu Yifei...
