Chapter 457 Familiar Operations
The issue of high pay was raised again.
The salary of the three leading actors in "Dangerous Liaisons" is as high as 51 million, which has become the target of criticism in the industry.
The current box office of this movie is not even enough to pay any two of the three of them.
Movies seem to be on the verge of stalling.
Maybe I can only blame Zhang Ziyi for deservedly getting paid. When he got the 20 million yuan salary, he was too high-profile and wanted everyone to know.
At this moment, she was the first to bear the brunt, and naturally became the target of the fire, which backfired.
Of course, if she could bring in the box office, she would definitely not be scolded like she is now. If virtue is not matched, it is easy for trouble to happen. And it will also be targeted by actresses in the industry.

“To be honest, I am not very familiar with him, and we are not close friends.”
Lin Nan took the invitation from his assistant and said jokingly.
The invitations to the premiere of Lou Ye's "The Mystery of the Floating City" were sent to Lin Nan Pictures.
The two of them are direct competitors for the Golden Horse Awards next month, winning several awards including Best Picture and Best Director.
"What does Director Lin mean?"
"I won't go. If I go, I will definitely be blocked by the media and ask questions.
Ask me what I think about "The Mystery of the Floating City" and the two films competing in the Golden Horse Competition. "
Lin Nan handed the invitation letter to Yue Jun smoothly, "You can make arrangements. "
"Okay, then I'll go for a walk. It feels quite inappropriate to just ask the company to hire a producer casually. "
Yue Jun went to "The Mystery of the Floating City", and Lin Nan was not idle either.
As one of the producers of "New Police Story 2013", Lin Nan was invited In the past, the location was in a department under the Ministry of Public Security
This time, Lin Nan went happily.
Let’s not talk about the script, but the significance of this movie is extraordinary.
In terms of classification, "New Police Story 2013" is a main theme movie.
For some films with special themes and themes to be approved, reviewed, and launched, they absolutely cannot do without the support of certain departments.
Otherwise, the Film Administration and the General Administration will never approve it because the impact will be too great.
...
“I hope that big brother can show the image of our mainland police to everyone.”
A middle-aged man in his forties wearing a uniform smiled and shook hands with Jackie Chan. and joked.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do."
Lin Nan and Ding Sheng were chatting.
The latter is the director of "New Police Story 2013" and the director of "Big Soldier". He is from Nortel.
“At present, there are basically no major directors or private film companies who are willing to take the initiative to make movies with the main theme. It is China Film Group and others who take the lead, and only major directors will participate.”
“We also know the specific reasons. I know, first of all, it’s hard to guarantee the box office, and secondly, it’s troublesome to review...”
A middle-aged man in uniform led Lin Nan and others into a conference room. After sitting down, he began to talk got up.
Lin Nan knew that this was said to the two directors and three company leaders present. Lin Nan had two identities.
"Although Director Lin is young, he is one of the top directors in the country and a major director of commercial films. Have you ever thought about making some theme movies in the future to actively promote positive energy..."
If other people say this in front of Lin Nan "Promote positive energy", he must have thought the other party was joking.
But on this occasion, and the person opposite, this is a very serious topic.
“I have thought that in the future the company will definitely make main theme movies, but the review is really troublesome. There are many things that the bureau has not given and cannot be filmed...”
Lin Nan said bravely.
Ding Sheng, Jackie Chan, Ye Ning, Lu Zheng and others beside them couldn't help but look at Lin Nan. Are you serious?
"It doesn't matter. If it involves the police, military, crime, law and other factors, and you have difficulty in auditing, you can come to us..."
The other party is still saying seriously Ye Ning and others were sitting there with smiles on their faces, just listening.
"New Police Story 2013" was made possible because of the additions of Jackie Chan and the "Police Story" series.
You must be cautious about new theme videos in the future. For this kind of movie, it’s best to have an official movie theater reserved so that everyone can have the confidence to make it.
Unlike Ye Ning and others, these words sounded extremely reassuring to Lin Nan's ears!
At this moment, he thought of the Aerospace Technology Group, the Sixth Princess, and of course, the person in front of him and the unit he represented.
These are all existences that can ignore the General Administration. Even the unit where the person in front of me can make the General Administration stand at attention obediently and shout...
"Okay, if there are difficulties in the future, I won't be polite."
Lin Nan nodded decisively. This opportunity is rare. Isn't this the purpose of coming here today?
"Welcome at any time."
…………
The group left the Propaganda Bureau, and Lin Nan received two phone numbers and a business card.
One of the two phone numbers belongs to the middle-aged man just now; the other phone number and business card are from Jindun...
"Director Lin, is the company really planning to film the main theme? That is not To make money, this time we only dared to do it because of the gimmick of Jackie Chan and "Police Story"."
Hearing Ye Ning's kind reminder, Lin Nan smiled and said, "I'm not shooting it now. After a year or two, can I just shoot it as a commercial film?"
Waiting for Ye Ning's reaction , Lin Nan got into the car directly, "Mr. Ye, see you later."
Ye Ning waved his hand subconsciously and muttered: "Can it be made into a commercial film?"
…………
In the past year, these domestic film companies have either been frightened by imported films, or they have had psychological shadows and fears after seeing their colleagues who have fallen around them.
So much so that intensive promotions have begun for movies in November, December, and even January next year.
No, "Big Shanghai" will be released in two months, and now we are already holding a press conference, looking very energetic!
"Two generations of Xu Wenqiang reappeared in Shanghai..."
"Huang Xiaoming became a disciple of Zhou Runfa and joked that someone would be 'covering' him in the future!" "Director Wang Jing said bluntly that he was confident of beating him at the box office "1942", "Thailand", "Zodiac" and other movies."
...
Lin Nan returned to the company and was a little speechless when he saw the news about these movies.
Compared to previous years, these guys obviously got a head start this year.
"Inform Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang that the promotion of "囧囧" can also start, and connect with the light."
"Okay, Director Lin."< br>
The news from the media is very timely, and "Passengers" is the focus of their attention.
“Competition is fierce during the National Day holiday. After two weeks of release, "Passengers" has box office exceeding 650 million..."
""Dangerous Liaisons" has a total box office of 34.4 million, which is no longer the case. Compared with the cost of 200 million, the film studio suffered a huge loss. ""Tai Chi 1" exceeded 70 million, and the daily box office has dropped by 1 million, and the ending is already foreseeable."
""Second Exposure" has reached 62.1 million, and the box office yesterday was 1.05 million..."
...
Han Sanping and others looked beaming. If this trend continues, it is inevitable that "Passengers" will surpass "Thieves".
Because there are still 20 days until the release, and the four days at the end of September are less than one week, there is no need to apply for an extension key.
Even if you want to apply, the bureau will not approve it at this special time.
…………
Liu Yifei didn't know what was wrong, so she started to tinker with her cooking skills again.
"Well, the instant noodles are cooked well, and you added an egg?"
When Lin Nan came back, she saw Liu Yifei eating the noodles she had cooked.
"Would you like to try it? I just suddenly wanted to take this bite, so I did it myself."
Miss Liu sucked a few noodles into her mouth, pushed them to Lin Nan, and drank some water. The barking eyes were full of expectation.
She probably couldn't forget the times she "poisoned" Lin Nan in the past.
“Let me try.”
Picking up Liu Yifei’s small casserole, Lin Nan finished half of it in two or three mouthfuls.
"Well, that's right. Your best cooking skill is probably this. It tastes just like the instant noodles I cook. Haha..."
Liu Yifei is not stupid, that's what I said. It's just like she didn't say anything, it's just that she has no talent for cooking.
"I won't let you eat it. Bring it here."
"That has to be solved quickly. If my aunt comes back later and sees you eating this, she will scold you again."
"Then I'll tell you, you cooked it for me." Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows, a little cunningly.
For a moment, Lin Nan didn't know how to refute.
Miss Liu has a lot of things that Liu’s mother defines as junk food, and she puts them all over Lin Nan’s side.
After all, no matter how old a daughter is, she can be easily suppressed in front of her old mother.
"After eating half of you, I guess you don't have enough. Let's go and make you a bowl of hand-rolled food."
Lin Nan directly put away Liu Yifei's small casserole and grabbed her hand said.
"Well, okay, okay."
Lin Nan hasn't done anything for a long time. The food he cooks is delicious, and Liu Yifei has always known it.
"Uncle said that when we get married, you will be responsible for cooking..."
Liu Yifei said this unexpectedly, Lin Nan's feet softened and she almost knelt down, biological father?
……
……
The circle became lively again.
When she got married, she was also a golden boy and caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry.
Who knew, suddenly they would turn against each other and fall out.
Smoking, alcoholism, gambling, cheating, domestic violence...
A series of labels were slapped on people so suddenly and on a large scale.
A flood of posts appeared on the Internet overnight, pointing directly at the man.
Not only the man is confused, but the entire entertainment industry is a little confused.
Have you never heard of it before?
As the saying goes: Strike first and strike later to control others.
In a very short period of time, the entire Internet was mobilized, and a large number of netizens blindly followed the trend and were incited.
By the time the man reacted, the "crime" had already been established!
From the time the woman took action to the time the man was "convicted", it only took one night and half a morning.
"Good guys, are you taking sides again? These people have eaten too much, what are they doing with nothing to do?"
Lin Nan couldn't help but complain.
When he arrived at the company, he found that many employees were talking about it.
Turn on the computer, the media and the Internet are overwhelmingly filled with news about Ms. Dong reprimanding Mr. Pan, as well as a large number of posts and press releases detailing the man’s “evil deeds” and “crimes.”
Familiar taste, familiar recipe, familiar operation.
Many artists in the industry have taken sides with the woman and condemned the man.
It was as if they were all involved and had witnessed the man’s “sinful deeds” with their own eyes!
“It’s absolutely amazing!”
