Chapter 444 Yue Jun’s Sigh
Two imported blockbusters are coming.
According to past practice, "The Gunslinger", which is about to be released at this time, should have been significantly reduced in film schedule.
But in fact, this did not happen, and the film output was only appropriately reduced.
Because at this moment, "Genius Gunslinger" is just one step away!
The higher authorities have begun to intervene, and the purpose is very clear.
"Brush the record of "Avatar", this is the notice I just received the day before yesterday. We cannot let an imported film dominate the box office record of the Chinese film market all year round."
Hear Lin Nan understood Ye Ning's explanation.
If the box office of "Genius Gunman" had just exceeded 1.2 billion in one month, the higher-ups would definitely not think so much. But the box office reached 1.358 billion!
This number is only 70 million away from the 1.428 billion of "Avatar". There is not no chance in a week.
"So, I have to thank "Avatar"? Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get such a good number of films in the last week."
Lin Nan joked to himself with a smile. He did take advantage.
"My colleagues in the production industry should be very jealous of Director Lin, haha..."
Yen Ning's words are true, the profit data of "Genius Gunslinger" is almost transparent .
The media in the circle also come up with updates and reports from time to time, which is simply dazzling.
Lin Nan has been ridiculed many times by Wang Changtian, Han Sanping and others because of this.
…………
The notice of external auditions for "Time Traveler" was posted on Lin Nan Pictures' Weibo.
Many brokerage companies, actors and artists have turned their attention to it, and the media are also forwarding and reporting on it.
I remember that the last time Guo Fan's "Source Code" was auditioned publicly.
Over the years, the number of auditions for Lin Nan Pictures' films has become less and less.
In the eyes of many artists in the industry, this opportunity is truly rare!
A large number of actor resumes were sent over from domestic brokerage companies and agents.
Some of them have pretty good relationships and have contact information, and they even went directly to Lin Nan and Liu Yifei to inquire.
Neither of them agreed to anything. At most, they were put in a queue and asked to find Guo Fan. Whether they were suitable or not was up to the director to decide.
...
"Batman" plus "The Amazing Spider-Man" easily made 80 million at the box office on the first day.
At the same time, "Genius Gunslinger" has indeed weakened. Relying on the advantage of film arrangement, the revenue is only a little over 10 million.
The film companies were very angry, but there was nothing they could do, and they couldn't help but keep an eye on the box office of "The Genius".
Because it is very likely that it will really take back the box office record in the Chinese film market from "Avatar".
Basically all the movies that will be released in September are in motion, and the promotion war is in full swing.
Only "Passengers" appears to be very calm and has an orderly promotion rhythm.
"A viewing party for "White Deer Plain"?"
Lin Nan was mentally prepared for the invitation to this movie. After all, it has been in the works for two years. Is it an epic masterpiece? !
But it would be a bit too far-fetched to tell a masterpiece of literature in one movie.
"In addition to you, Director Zhang Yimou, Director Chen Kaige, Director Gu Changwei and others are all invited. Only the top ones are invited, haha..."
Yue Jun couldn't help laughing.
"Zhang Yimou?"
Lin Nan suddenly remembered the new scenes of the past two days, which had reached the point of being precarious.
Zhang Weiping is in contract termination lawsuits with several artists at the same time. Zhang Yimou is also suing Zhang Weiping, asking for arrears of remuneration and box office share of several movies.
Many media outlets are already reporting that New Picture has reached the point where it is about to disband.
The key is that Zhang Weiping is already notorious in the industry and everyone calls for beating him.
Directors with some ability and projects with some potential all rejected his investment intention.
From a top figure in the film and television industry to a street rat, it only took more than half a year, which can be called a "miracle".
I guess by now, Zhang Dapao should have realized that without Lao Mouzi, he is nothing!
"Reply over there. I will be there when the time comes."
"Okay. By the way, Director Guo's audition has been scheduled for the conference room on the third floor, starting the day after tomorrow."
>Lin Nan nodded, this efficiency is quite high.
......
The blessings "Genius Gunman" has given to the actors have been fully reflected.
The net worth, salary, and endorsement fees of all major actors have been significantly increased.
"It is reported that Liu Yifei's commercial remuneration has risen to 18 million to 20 million, reaching the highest level for domestic actresses, and commercial endorsement fees have skyrocketed again..."
"The industry's quotation for director Lin Nan No change, but the box office share ratio that can be participated has increased again.”
…
The salary increases for Zhu Yawen, Shu Chang, and Luo Jin are also between two and three million.
Different from the TV drama remuneration, the film remuneration is the most difficult to increase, at least there must be a worthy masterpiece.
“Limited by the current upper limit of the domestic market, the highest film salary for an actress is 20 million.
Just like when Zhang Ziyi took the role of "Dangerous Liaisons", she got The salary was 20 million, and a press release was issued to show off."
Lin Nan looked at the naked Liu Yifei in front of her and said with a smile.
“I always feel that if an actor receives such a high salary, will it affect the normal operation of the crew?”
Liu Yifei frowned and thought of a question.
“So top actors receive a basic salary plus box office split. If you take on external roles in the future, you can also sign a contract like this. I believe the film studio will not refuse.
Of course, Literary films must not be calculated based on the salary of commercial films. "In addition, the film industry is developing rapidly. Maybe in a year or two, the salary will increase dramatically. "
Lin Nan smiled and said meaningfully.
.........
"Mimi, Director Guo Ban said that your temperament is more suitable for the male protagonist's first love girlfriend, so I can give this to you directly."
Zeng Jia will get it from Guo Ban The reply was conveyed to Yang Mi.
"First love girlfriend?"
Yang Mi murmured suspiciously, this title obviously does not seem to be used to describe the heroine? ! "Yes, my first girlfriend is considered a supporting actress. If you want to be the heroine, you have to audition."
Zeng Jia told the truth. She felt that Guo Fan was a bit rigid.
“Have you seen the script?”
“Yes, the original script, although it is very interesting, but... I still feel that it is not as influential as the series, even "Time and Space" The heroine of "Love Traveler"
Yang Mi nodded, she understood what Zeng Jia meant.
In the past few days, she also asked Zeng Jia to check for her. That "Tiny Times" really has a large fan base.
"Let's go talk to Director Yue."
"Huh? Okay."
…………
When we returned to the company, Lin Nan went to the third floor specifically to take a look. There are so many people!
"Director Guo screened these once and sent out audition invitations. Director Guo is familiar with some of the actors, so there is no need to go through the interview process."
Yue Jun introduced from the side.
At this time, many people noticed Lin Nan in the distance, and they all became a little nervous for an instant.
At one glance, Lin Nan knew it. He has no impression of these people, why don't they come to audition!
A bold actor stood up and said hello: "Hello, Director Lin, I am actor Deng Jiajia..."
"...I am the actor on the show, Wang Chuanjun."
"...on the show, Sun Yizhou."
...
As the first actor stood up, Then everyone else followed suit, and for a while, it was a little noisy.
Lin Nan raised his hand and pressed it, signaling silence.
There was a hint of teasing in his eyes. Was he poking fun at the show?
The number of people attending the show was actually the same as that of the Chinese show. Nortel only had two or three kittens!
Lin Nan nodded and greeted everyone and entered the conference room.
As Yue Junlin walked in, he answered the phone and left.
In the conference room, there were only Guo Fan and an assistant, and then... Tang Yan?
Five minutes later, the audition ended.
"Director Lin, Director Guo, I'll leave first. Goodbye."
After bowing, she withdrew.
“Which role is she auditioning for?”
“Leading actress, supporting actress.”
Guo Ban replied, thinking about Yang Mi again.
“Yang Mi’s agent has asked about the role, and the supporting role can be given to her directly. But as for the heroine, I want her to come over for an audition. If there are no big problems, I can give it to her. ..."
Lin Nan nodded and said nothing more. He planned to sit down and watch the subsequent auditions, because there were many actors out there who were quite interesting.
Especially because several of the actors are from the same sitcom crew.
Although it is indeed plagiarized, the national conditions are still very popular here.
Moreover, that drama was invested by Shanghai Film Studio, and the exclusive online broadcast rights were also taken over by Tudou.
…………
Director’s Office.
Yang Mi, Zeng Jia and Yue Jun sat face to face, the atmosphere was a bit dull.
Yue Jun looked solemn at this time and frowned.
He has personally handled it and stockpiled many novels for the company, and has recently begun adapting them to prepare for subsequent production.
He had come across the movie "Little Times", and the image of the original author was a bit bad.
How would you rate this novel? It can indeed be described as having many fans.
But the content in the book is completely inconsistent with the mainstream values and moral values of ordinary people, and is even a bit extreme.
Although it is also very real, it is the reality of a few people. Material flow, desire for money, luxury...
These contents are basically things that are not suitable to be discussed openly, and the impact is too bad.
"I don't recommend you to accept this series."
Yue Jun's words fell, and Yang Mi and Zeng Jia tensed up for a moment, as if they had heard something unacceptable.
"Why? Isn't it influential enough? The film crew believes that the box office of this movie will definitely explode."
Zeng Jia kept asking, and Yang Mi nodded.
"Once this novel is filmed, it may cause a lot of controversy. Have you read the novel?"
Yang Mi and Zeng Jia nodded, "Isn't it good for movies to be controversial? It represents influence. , Commercial value..."
Hearing this, Yue Jun knew what these two people were thinking, and they probably had deep intentions.
"Listen to me, that's right. In addition, since you are here today, let me talk about another serious matter."
Yang Mi and Zeng Jia looked at each other, confused. Had a hunch.
"Your contract expires in March next year, and there is almost half a year left. What do you think? Should you renew it or wait for it to automatically expire? If you renew it, your contract can be changed."
Yue Jun looked at Yang Mi and said seriously.
Yang Mi was a little nervous at this moment. All the previous conversations with Zeng Jia flashed through her mind, as well as several strong thoughts in the past two years.
The incident happened suddenly. After all, it was Zeng Jia who was more stable. She saw Yang Mi's state, which seemed a little confused and hesitant.
"Director Yue, can you let Mimi and I go back and think about it carefully? The company is very good to us, but after all, it was too sudden and we were a little caught off guard..."
Hearing Zeng Jia's words, Yang Mi also reacted from her distraction, "Director Yue, can you let me go back and think about it carefully? I will give a reply to the company in a few days... and about "Tiny Times"." br>
"Yes, Shanhai Media will not be as overbearing as other companies. You are willing to do so and we will not force it. I am waiting for your reply, go ahead."
"Thank you, Director Yue."
......
The moment the two walked out of the office, Mr. Yue frowned, then relaxed.
In the huge office, only Yue Jun's sigh echoed.
