Chapter 430 The summer season is approaching, and the premiere is ready
The theater chain’s announcement is tantamount to saying that none of these directors can compare to Lin Nan.
Inexplicably, Lin Nan has become the focus of media and industry circles again.
"Do you feel like you are being artificially attracted to hate?"
Lin Nan muttered with a smile, but didn't take it to heart.
Although it is a bit arrogant, it cannot be denied that this is a good thing.
This announcement makes "Genius Gunner" more conspicuous and special.
…………
A piece of movie information came back from the other side of the ocean.
“The horror movie “The Conjuring,” co-invested by Crystal Pictures and James Wan Studio, has grossed over $100 million at the North American box office, and its growth continues unabated!”
"It is reported that "The Conjuring" is written and written by Director Lin Nan and directed by Director Wen Ziren, with an investment of US$12 million."
"Director Lin Nan had already admitted that as early as "Super Body", He is a shareholder of Crystal Pictures..."
...
Horror movies are really profitable!
Lin Nan once again lamented James Wan's talent in horror movies, he is simply a genius.
"Lin, you know, North America is not like your country. Here, a movie can be shown for a long time."
"Just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush."
< br>Tom's playful tone made Lin Nan couldn't help but want to say something, there is definitely a woman next to this guy.
"Lin, James predicts that this movie can reach 150 million US dollars in a short time. Coupled with the slow trickle of water behind it, and the income from copyrights, discs, etc., this will be our most It’s a horror movie!”
Tom lost his previous glib tone and became a little excited.
"Horror movies, like cash cows, are really incredible."
Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh, "Your dividends have increased this year."
"Thank you to my generous boss. By the way, Lin, did you talk to Leon on the phone some time ago?”
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
“I met him today and he asked me to tell you: Please speed up the efficiency. . What is the efficiency? ”
"Script. Tell him not to rush, we are working on it."
"Well, okay. Say hello to Crystal for me by the way."
…………
In the circle , all talking about "The Conjuring".
The main reason is that everyone knows that Lin Nan was involved. Look at the box office trend, you’re making a lot of money!
But everyone in the industry is sensible, and Lin Nan will definitely not give others the chance to partner up.
Lin Nan saw the news about Huang Bo’s new film conference.
Ever since he won the Golden Horse Award, this guy's career has been in a mess.
The production of "101 Proposals" with Lin Chiling was just completed not long ago, in which he played a diaosi.
It was only a few days later that I joined the group again and was in charge of "The Cook, the Actor, the Ruffian".
Three movie stars in one drama, I have to say, it is indeed quite a selling point.
......
Liu Yifei really likes animated movies. Before she could mention it, Lin Nan had already prepared the movie tickets.
"I thought you had forgotten what you said before?"
"How could you forget? I told you that I won't let you take the initiative to speak in the future."
< br>
Ms. Liu took the ticket for "Madagascar 3" with joy on her face and was about to change clothes.
“Wear something plain, the less eye-catching the better!”
“That’s a bit difficult, this girl is naturally beautiful...”
Liu Yifei’s voice, from Came from the second floor, running pretty fast.
…………
The promotion of movies such as "Famous Man", "Search", and "Wu-Tang" has entered a feverish stage.
Because it is less than a month away from the release date, and the summer season is coming soon.
Chen Kaige's "Search" and Lin Nan's "The Genius" were released 20 days apart, so there will be basically no conflict at the box office. When interviewed, the former also acted as if nothing had happened.
But when facing several other competitors, Director Chen seemed much more domineering.
"At the same time, I still have some confidence. "Search" is a movie with connotation and depth. It cannot be compared with just one or two martial arts movies..."
< br>
"Wudang" can tolerate this, but Wang Changtian doesn't like to hear it. "Four Famous Catchers" is Guangguang's son:
"It's better to compare than to compare." You know, the audience has the final say, and the box office has the final say.
As far as I know, Director Chen’s commercial films are not very good at the box office! It’s not good to say anything too early.” >
......
This is interesting, Chen Kaige's circle has nothing to do with light.
The two big guys in the industry were talking to each other from a distance, and none of the actors and artists dared to join in the fun, for fear of causing harm to Chi Yu and dying miserably.
Perhaps for so many years, no one dared to offend Chen Kaige. Suddenly, Director Chen was a bit slow to react when Wang Changtian scolded him like this.
Either Chen Hongneng can be Chen Kaige's boss, but she still stands up to smooth things over at the critical moment.
“Director Chen is so satisfied with his movie this time, and this emotion is naturally revealed in his words.
In fact, no matter what movie it is, as long as it is a good movie, the box office will be high. It will be bad, but it will be good, just like "Search" and "Famous Catchers"..."
Everyone in the industry said that Chen Hong was awesome. While praising the quality of his own movie, he also resolved the embarrassing situation with softness and strength. He is indeed the real talker of Chen Kaige's company.
Lin Nan held a bucket of popcorn and watched "Madagascar 3" with Ms. Liu. This relaxing feeling was really good.
"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will also dub for animated movies. It's quite fun. Do you think it's okay?"
Liu Yifei turned her head and looked at Lin Nan beside her, asked excitedly.
“Of course, I’ll wait.”
Lin Nan looked around. Even though it was an animated movie, the audience was mostly adults.
"Let's go, be careful when we leave, you will be recognized again." "How can it be such a coincidence that you are recognized every time?"
Although her words were a bit harsh, Liu Yifei didn't hesitate at all. She already stood up and walked towards the exit, gesturing to Lin Nan: Follow up!
…………
Not long after I came back, Wang Changtian's call came.
"On the 25th, remember to come on time with Yifei."
"Oh, what are you going to do on time? You should make it clear." Lin Nan was really confused.
"The premiere of "The Famous Four" is scheduled for the 25th of this month. Is it clear now? The female lead is an artist of your company. The role you asked for in the first place, don't lose it that day. Chain."
"Okay, no problem, I will arrange the time."
Lin Nan really didn't realize that it was the premiere of "The Four Famous Catchers" just now. Time passed a bit fast.
He also has to ask people from the company to plan and prepare the premiere ceremony of "The Genius Gunman".
…………
The summer season is really coming, and domestic films are starting to get excited.
In just two days, Lin Nan Pictures received several premiere invitations, including Chen Kaige's "Search".
"This should be because Yang Mi is the heroine of "The Great Wudang", so I tried to send it to the company."
Jiang Yuerou looked at the invitation letter of "The Great Wudang" and explained to Lin Nan .
“I’m really convinced by these people. I’m going to send you a post about the premiere in early July? Then you can go.”
Lin Nan suddenly thought of something , "There is no influence on "One Man's Martial Arts". After all, Zhao Wenzhuo is also the leading actor of this movie. How did you do the publicity?"
"He didn't follow the whole process. Director Lu Yang specially The scenes have been adjusted and the time has been staggered, but it doesn’t affect it.”
"That's good."
Speaking of these crews, Lin Nan remembered the Shanghai Film Festival that just opened, where domestic films gathered to promote and crowd the red carpet.
"Genius Gunner" Otherwise, Lin Nan only sent a few employees there, as long as there was a booth.
The crew of "Wu-Tang" and "Sad Fairy Tale" were compared because one of the heroines was Yang Mi and the other was Liu Shishi.
In the movie, after all, it is Yang Mi who has rich experience, has walked more red carpets, and has steadily suppressed Liu Shishi, but there will definitely be a quarrel among fans.
Although Lin Nan didn't go there, the topic of Lin Nan was still indispensable.
Especially under the new film policies between China and the United States, co-productions are a hot topic that cannot be avoided.
Several companies such as Huayi, LeTV, and Bona are very good at pretending, and they talk eloquently on the co-production forum.
The domestic media is okay, but the question asked by the foreign media will always be "Pacific Rim", because it is currently recognized as the most standard and successful Sino-US co-production.
This made Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong, Zhang Zhao of LeTV and others very embarrassed because Lin Nan did not come.
They also dare not say that some of the co-productions they have participated in, such as "Cloud Atlas" and "The Expendables 2," will definitely be better than "Pacific Rim."
Because everyone basically has no confidence, once you speak out without shame and are reported, you will most likely be slapped in the face later.
The final result was a whole forum about co-productions. The most talked about was not "The Expendables 2" and other movies with the participation of several companies, but "Pacific Rim" and the project initiator Lin Nan and two investors, China Film and Wanda.
But the funniest thing is that none of the three domestic investors of this film came to the forum. Instead, they took advantage of it and gained their reputation.
In this way, Lin Nan inexplicably became the focus of discussion on the forum and made the headlines of movie information.
.........
"Director Lin, by the end of this month, "One Man's Martial Arts" will be finished."
Yue Jun called back, and it took two months of filming. Period, very reasonable.
"More than half of the filming progress has been completed, and the producer's work is expected to be at least 80% completed. You can arrange the remaining things and come back."
Lin Nan ordered . Producing is about getting easier the further you go, because the money and resources are pretty much used and well planned.
"Well, I'm just about to go back."
"You have to go back to Nortel to recruit a few more people during the graduation season. The company has too few professional producers."
Then Bian Yuejun responded and talked about other things.
"Director Lin, Donnie Yen's agent has made appointments with me several times recently, but I haven't met."
"It's okay if you don't meet, the next movie in the "Ip Man" series , won’t use him.”
"I know."
…………
Two days later, Yue Jun left Hong Kong and returned to the capital.
"I made six appointments with him, but his assistant rejected them all. I heard that he has left Hong Kong Island today and returned to the mainland."
The agent looked at Zhen with a sad look on his face. Zidan said.
The crew of "One Man's Martial Arts" has a huge momentum and is now the most eye-catching crew on Hong Kong Island.
Especially when news came out from the Mainland that the copyright of a movie by Lin Nan Pictures was sold for more than 80 million US dollars, this news made many Hong Kong media become submissive.
"Without seeing us, does it mean that the "Ip Man" series has no chance at all?"
At this moment, a bad guess suddenly occurred in Zhen Zishan's heart, and he thought of Zhao Wenzhuo.
"Should... no, I am the original team member..."
"Wait a little longer, wait until there is confidence, and then try again."
Zhen Zidan felt a little frightened in his heart, and he could only comfort himself in this way.
It has been a while since the filming of "Special Identity" was completed, but he has not received a new role.
Many brands have even lowered their quotations for him one after another. The meaning is very clear that he is devaluing and losing his popularity.
He finally established himself as a front-line actor through two "Ip Man" movies. Thanks to the publicity in Hong Kong, he even gained a super-A-list reputation and became an action superstar. He doesn't want to lose these.
Zhen Zidan looked at the assistant:
“I will not give up. Once there is news about "Ip Man" later, tell me immediately.
Even if you bow your head and admit your mistake, it is a small matter. . No one is more suitable than me..."
"Okay."
Donnie Yen glanced out the window in the direction of the hotel where the crew of "One Man's Martial Arts" was staying.
