Chapter 441: 1 Billion, Guo Fan’s Movie
"The Wind Listener" produced by Meiya was previously scheduled to be released in early August, not without reason.
This spy film with an investment of over 100 million has a very strong creative cast.
Its production team, director and screenwriter are all from "Infernal Affairs".
Even the cast consists of digital movie kings and queens such as Tony Leung and Zhou Xun.
It stands to reason that with such a powerful configuration, there is indeed a reason not to be afraid of any opponent. However, I met Lin Nan.
The first domestic blockbuster to compete head-on with "The Gunslinger" appeared. The media paid great attention to it, but the result was a bit pity.
"Influenced by "The Genius", "Hearing the Wind", directed by director Mak Zhao-fai and starring Tony Leung Chaowei and Zhou Xun, did not do well at the box office on the first day, far below expectations, with a revenue of 16.5 million."
"The second week of release of "The Genius" has ended, with a revenue of 442 million this week, and the total box office has reached 963 million!"
"The box office record of domestic movies has been refreshed again. Director Lin Nan Brush my own record..."
"According to the gambling agreement between Director Lin Nan and the theaters, the account sharing ratio has been changed to 44.5%, which is 46% away from 46% and only 237 million box office short."
"The first domestically produced movie with a box office of 1 billion will be released soon. Birth."
"The first billion-dollar box office director, the first billion-dollar box office heroine, the first billion dollar box office...is about to be born!"
......
Animals!
All the film companies in the industry are now criticizing "The Genius" and Lin Nan. They are really shocked.
The box office record of "League of Thieves" of 901 million was once again broken by Lin Nan himself.
And I don’t know what the new record is yet. But it is certain that it will definitely exceed 1 billion!
All the main actors of "The Genius" are waiting eagerly.
Just wait one more day and everyone will have one more title.
Net worth, remuneration, endorsements, announcements...
Career and commercial value will all take a big step forward!
The first billion-dollar Chinese-language film will definitely be written into film history!
All the young actors born in the 1980s and 1985 are envious.
It turns out that "Genius Gunner" was the biggest cake in the industry last year. It's a pity that outsiders can't get involved.
"If I had known earlier, I would have looked for Lin Nan last year and stuffed you in. If you can't play the heroine, you can play a supporting role."
Lu Zheng said with an envious look on his face.
Jing Tian looked away from the web page and looked at Lu Zheng, smiling very cleanly:
"Uncle Lu, how can there be so many good things. "Pacific Rim" at the beginning of the year was very important to me It’s already been a great help. Let’s talk about it later when we have a chance...”
“Yes, we’ll talk about it later. Director Lin will definitely make another commercial film.” Lu Zheng nodded.
.........
"Jiajia, do you think I made the wrong choice?"
Yang Mi looked at Zeng Jia in confusion.
How to answer this question?
The supporting actress in a movie with a box office of 1 billion seems to be a huge resource indeed.
At the very least, "Love in Seattle" will definitely not have a box office of 1 billion, nor will it enter film history or become a milestone.
"It's too late to say this now..."
...
Unlike many people in the industry who are filled with wonder and envy, the atmosphere here in Tang Dynasty That's very wrong.
“First appearance on the big screen, 1 billion box office... From this starting point, Reba can go very far.”
"Yifei, this is about to become the first heroine with a box office of 1 billion!"
Hu Ge said with emotion, while Liu Shishi and Nazha on the side looked a little dazed.
......
Lu Yang has a lazy temperament and cuts slowly in post-production. Some shots even require rendering, which is a bit extravagant.
Guo Fan first came to Tiangong Color and said hello.
When Lu Yang heard that Guo Fan was going to start a new movie, he also went to the floors of Lin Nan Pictures to join in the fun.
"You have really good taste." Lin Nan tapped his finger on the table and said.
"What did Director Lin say?"
Guo Fan and Lu Yang were both a little curious.
“I registered this script in Hollywood and almost sold it before, but the price couldn’t be negotiated, so I took it back and made a choice for you.”
Lin Nan flipped through the script on the table. Guo Fan had already written on it and made a lot of notes.
“We all know that science fiction movies can be divided into soft science fiction and hard science fiction. Which one is more difficult for a director?” Lin Nan suddenly asked.
Lu Yang shook his head subconsciously, science fiction movies were not within his scope.
“I don’t think there is an answer. Soft science fiction tests the director’s grasp of characters, emotions, and plot. Setting is very important, and story is king;
Hard science fiction requires a director. With the support of overall planning and film industrialization, the visual effects are more important, and the plot is simpler.”
Guo Fan gave his own answer. He knows his strengths and weaknesses.
He has some deficiencies in his ability as a director. After all, he became a monk halfway, so he chose soft science fiction, hoping to make up for his shortcomings through practice.
"These represent two different styles of directors. You'd better combine the two."
Lin Nan confirmed Guo Fan's statement and gave suggestions. He has photographed both of these himself and has a deep understanding of them.
Guo Fan nodded, "That's why I chose this science fiction romance film, "Time Traveler"."
"Well, the 'Butterfly Effect' is the most classic material in soft science fiction. What about the casting?"
"Director Lin didn't specify it?" Guo Ban asked with a smile.
"Well, let's see which supporting role is suitable for Reba and bring her with us. She can only start as a supporting role at the moment."
Lin Nan thought for a while and named Reba. .
"Only this one?"
"Yes. The remaining actors will have open auditions or invitation-only auditions. You decide for yourself."
"Okay, then I'll go back and make plans. I'll let them take the script for review first..."< br>
…………Ending on the 8th, the entire film industry has set its sights on "The Genius Gunman".
“…yesterday’s box office was 48.4 million, and after 15 days of release, the total box office of “The Genius” was 1.0114 billion…”
Boiling.
All major Internet media and official media are reporting this news.
The film industry seems to have made an appointment. Private and state-owned enterprises have forwarded it and congratulated it.
Whether it is true or false, we cannot deny that this is indeed a major event in the industry.
The actors and artists are even more crazy. They are posting on Weibo one by one. Aitlin Nan, Liu Yifei and others are also calling and texting.
The Film Bureau even issued a special press release:
"Congratulations to "The Genius Gunman" for breaking through the 1 billion box office;
Congratulations to the domestic film industry for officially entering the 1 billion box office era!"
The next step is personal honor.
Movie channels took the lead, and official media and online media swarmed in.
"Congratulations to Director Lin Nan for becoming the first director of the 1 billion box office club! Bringing domestic films into the era of 1 billion box office."
"Congratulations to Liu Yifei for becoming the first 1 billion box office hit for domestic films. Main director and producer.”
Zhu Yawen, Shu Chang, and Luo Jin were all on the list.
Liang Jiahui, Zhou Xun, and Reba were also named one after another.
…………
Liu Yifei's luxury brands are more proactive than her. They immediately issued announcements to congratulate their spokesperson for becoming a billionaire box office heroine.
"Announcements, announcements, announcements, every time the movie is released, I have to face these..."
Miss Liu complained as she sat at the table in her pajamas, puffing out her cheeks.
I was woken up by my assistant's phone call early in the morning. I was furious at the moment, and I didn't even touch the breakfast in front of me.
Lin Nan lowered his head and ate. At this moment, Liu Yifei could only watch from a distance and couldn't talk to her because...it was easy to explode!
The phone buzzed, Lin Nan picked up the phone and walked outside, just in time to meet Liu Xiaoli who had just returned from a walk, still holding a package.
Sitting in the yard, he could vaguely hear the old mother's voice teaching her daughter, "Eat quickly, how old are you..."
Lin Nan answered the phone.
"Director Lin, congratulations on the movie breaking 1 billion. You are now the only major director in China with a box office of 1 billion, um, and Yifei..."
Liu Dehua laughed heartily, He also talked about the National Day movie "Passengers" and hoped that this movie would be like "The Genius".
Lin Nan knew his true purpose of coming.
"Brother Hua, you should know that I can take or take the Golden Horse Award. After all, I have all the awards from the three major European film festivals."
The person on the other side of the phone Liu Dehua paused for a moment and then said:
“Of course I know that if Director Lin comes to the Golden Horse, he will definitely support him.
But even if Director Lin doesn’t care about awards, then other people, such as Yi What about Fei and Zhu Yawen?
If a Chinese-language film that has a box office of over 1 billion and sold high-priced copyrights in Europe and the United States does not win awards, will the reputation of the Golden Horse be lost? ”
What Liu Dehua said was very naked and realistic.
As people said in the past two days, if Lin Nan goes to Baihua, he is basically destined to go through the motions. Receiving the award.
But these words are nice, but who knows if there will be that 1% accident?
"I'll ask Yifei and give me a reply tomorrow. ”
"Huh? Okay."
......
When he walked into the living room again, he saw that Liu Yifei had already finished breakfast.
She was sitting on the sofa in her pajamas, flipping through a hardcover picture album.
“I really treat you like a sheep, looking for you every year?”
Lin Nan said speechlessly and sat next to Miss Liu.
"You can't say that, it's charity. I don't care what others do, I just do my best."
Liu Yifei raised her head and glanced at Lin Nan, smiling sweetly and sincerely.
This is true, it is Liu Yifei’s style. In 2008, while Lin Nan was still lying down, she donated one million.
In such a large entertainment circle, only a few people donated this amount. If it weren't for Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's donation, a designated group of people would be offended.
"Okay, as long as you're happy.
By the way, have you decided where to go? I'm going to reply to Brother Hua."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei raised her head, her eyes There was light inside, "Golden horse, right?"
"Because it contains high gold content?"
"Hmm."
Liu Yifei was really rude, smiling and nodding vigorously.
"Okay, then the Golden Horse."
When Lin Nan said this, she looked into Liu Yifei's eyes. Her eyes were full of expectation and desire for the award.
Lin Nan had no objections to going to the Golden Horse. Firstly, it’s for Liu Yifei, and secondly, it’s to return the favor.
The chairman of the Venice jury was Li An. He invited Lin Nan to the Venice Film Festival twice and won the Golden Lion.
The Golden Lion Award is also a favor...
"Well, I just want to give it a try, maybe I can win the award! Both my mother won the Best Supporting Actress in Cannes..."
When it comes to this topic, Liu Yifei felt a little depressed, but she became happy again in an instant.
After all, it was my own mother who won the award, and she did not cheapen actresses from other films.
……
Since so many people suggested this movie, I wrote it.
