Chapter 471 Can you sell me the copyright?
For most people in the domestic film and television industry, Hollywood has always been out of reach.
That is the only way to the international stage and the final destination.
It is also the most ideal gold-plated place to improve your own worth, status, influence, commercial value and other aspects.
Over the past few years, almost all domestic first-line film actors have tried to go abroad and launch an impact in Hollywood.
But not many people have successfully participated in Hollywood movies. They are still actors such as Jackie Chan and big stars like Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi.
Finally, Lin Nan Pictures was able to get on board, but most people couldn’t get on board, so they were all trying to get on board with Liu Yifei first.
Only when she doesn’t like it will other people have opportunities, such as "Pacific Rim".
Actors in the industry can only watch helplessly, with no other option but envy.
……
Li Bingbing's "Resident Evil 5" was just released overseas some time ago and will hit the domestic market next year.
At the time of the audition and casting, everyone still vividly remembers the excitement in the industry.
Li Bingbing also walked on the red carpet of the Oscars because of this.
At this moment, Fan Bingbing also came to join in the fun.
That sentence really comes true, once a mainland actor gets a chance to appear in a Hollywood blockbuster.
Don’t think too much, the publicity and press releases will be overwhelming and spread all over the Internet immediately.
Disney announced that Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi will play roles in the Marvel blockbuster "Iron Man 3". Participate in the show.
Following this, Fan Bingbing's studio also responded in a high-profile manner on behalf of the two, announcing that the matter was true.
No matter what the role is, no matter how many scenes there are, all the media are rushing to report on this matter.
Another big star in the industry is going to enter Hollywood?
And he is participating in this kind of high-grossing superhero commercial film!
The fans and movie buffs were the most excited, and several old rivals were inevitably drawn out for some criticism.
Every time at this time, Zhang Ziyi, who is on the decline, is always the most hurt!
“The protagonist is Robert Downey Jr. In a superhero-themed movie, the two of them are just soy sauce at best.
It’s so hyped right now that they all thought they were minor supporting roles. , it has earned enough attention. Let’s see how they end up when it is released.”
Lin Nan smiled and joked while looking at the actor's guest appearance invitation in his hand.
A group drama jointly produced by Bayi Film Studio and China Film Group, starring more than 30 stars, "The Better and Better Village Wan"!
“They promised that Zhang Yi’s scenes would be filmed within a week, and they hired all the famous actors or big names, and they planned to release it on the Spring Festival.”
Yue Jun couldn’t help laughing. I don’t know what Bayi Film Studio and China Film Group think.
How can a movie made in such a hurry be good? Most likely it will be very watery.
Just like that, I have to go head-to-head with Zhou Xingchi's movie, which will be released on the same day.
And "Love in Seattle" are also in the same month, only two weeks apart.
“Promise to Bayi Factory, just give it a few days, they really have to give it their face.”
Lin Nan agreed, smiling helplessly. He also admired Lu Zheng, who wanted to include Jing Tian in every scene.
It is estimated that "New Police Story 2013" will adjust the filming scenes.
"Well, then I'll go inform Zhang Yi."
......
Speaking of the term "Lunar New Year stalls", I have to mention Jackie Chan and Feng Xiaogang.
The former's "Red Zone" is the first film introduced to the mainland under the name of "Lunar New Year Movie".
The latter was the first person to open up the Lunar New Year stalls market in the Mainland. Starting from "Party A and Party B" that year, the term Lunar New Year stalls really came into being in the Mainland.
In 14 years, this is the first time that Feng Xiaogang has failed miserably in the Lunar New Year box office battle! He has lost so miserably!
"1942", which invested 210 million yuan, had a total box office revenue of 342 million yuan. Its potential was exhausted and it was forced to be released.
This achievement has made many colleagues in the industry sigh. After deducting several additional publicity costs, Huayi directly lost more than 100 million.
As a listed company, financial reports must be made public.
Coupled with the two previous "Tai Chi" films that lost money, this negative impact is not small, and may even be serious.
Therefore, Huayi's publicity has all been transferred to "Twelve Zodiac Signs" and "Private Customization".
But Feng Xiaogang’s resentment at the moment is not small.
Because news came back from Hollywood, the Golden Globe Awards, which is the front station of the Oscars, announced the nomination list.
"Search" by Chen Kaige was rejected.
Nominated for a Golden Globe, I might try my luck at an Oscar.
But without even being nominated, this is almost a death sentence. It was announced that "Search" and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film were completely missed!
Dao Chen is very open-minded and very good at showing off: "Every time I win a prize, it is a gamble. This does not mean that we are bad, it only means that the time has not come yet..."
< br>This mysterious statement won unanimous applause from actors in the film and television industry.
The number of people flirting with each other made Lin Nan dumbfounded!
“I have always believed that “1942” is the film most qualified to represent China in the Golden Globe and Oscar Best Foreign Language Film selections this year. It carries with it the suffering and unyielding nature of the nation. The symbol..."
Unlike most people in the industry who support Chen Kaige, netizens and viewers all feel that Feng Xiaogang is right. Maybe "1942" is more suitable!
Lin Nan had already begun to pack his luggage here.
“Look, it’s too early to talk!”
Lin Nan glanced at Miss Liu who was laughing and joking, and joked.
At first, Liu Yifei said she wanted to set off with him,
Not now. She would have to wait for a while.
“A new endorsement, two commercial short films, four press conferences, it won’t take long...”
Liu Yifei shook her head, counting the time, her voice became smaller and smaller, I feel a little embarrassed.
"Oh, you go first. I'll come over after I finish these tasks."
Faced with the coquettish person in front of him, Lin Nan really did this.
He smiled and shook his head: "I'm not leaving now, and it seems that I took the initiative to ask you to go with me?"
"How do I remember, it was you who said that you wanted me to accompany you?"伱?”
Liu Yifei tilted her head, pretending to remember, with a sly smile on her face, but she just refused to admit it.
The next moment, I saw her nodding, seriously, "Well, that's what you said. At worst, I will take you to the airport myself."
"Then shall I still Do you have to thank my girlfriend? Busy man Liu Yifei! "Hey, you're welcome, I volunteered."
Not to mention, the daily routine of occasionally bickering is also full of fun.
…………
In the blink of an eye, the film market has ushered in an important moment.
“Produced by Lin Nan Pictures, the Lunar New Year comedy "Thailand" has been in theaters for 18 days, and its total box office has officially exceeded 1 billion..."
"The second domestically produced movie with a box office of 1 billion is officially born!"
"It is reported that the Film Bureau has approved the extension application of "囧囧", and the release time will be extended to the end of January. The extension key is 1 month "
"The daily ticket sales of "囧囧" have dropped below 15 million. It is expected that the box office data will not pose a threat to "The Genius" when it is released..."
… …
The production industry, all film companies, are somewhat mixed.
Everyone had foreseen this result a long time ago.
But "囧囧" actually exceeded 1 billion, but some people in the industry couldn't accept it. It should be said that they were powerless and aggrieved.
“In the first half of the year, it was imported blockbusters that knocked the bones and sucked the marrow out. Finally, in the second half of the year, two more movies from Lin Nan Pictures were taken advantage of. It didn’t leave a way for others to survive, right?!”
"The two movies combined, the domestic box office alone is 2.43 billion. No wonder it has to be listed, fools only do it..."
The circle can be described as full of complaints, all of which are against Dissatisfaction with the postponement of "囧囧".
Wang Changtian's intestines are filled with regrets.
If Ray had chosen a one-point distribution fee model, it would have earned 10 million by now, and there will be more to come...
"Oh, what a headache!"
…………
Xu Zheng took the initiative to make an appointment with Lin Nan and came to the company alone.
Just like when "The Journey" was released, Lin Nan could guess what he was here for.
Looking at Xu Zheng, who was sitting across from him and had been very proud of himself for the past half month, Lin Nan was the first to speak:
“Congratulations, you have officially become a 1 billion box office director.”
< br>"I don't dare to mention this in front of Director Lin. I have to thank Director Lin for the opportunity."
What Xu Zheng said is true and sincere, and it is also spread outside.
"What's wrong with you today?" Lin Nan asked.
I saw Xu Zheng straightened his body, suppressed the smile on his face, and said seriously:
"Director Lin, after "囧囧", do you have any plans for a sequel? "
Lin Nan leaned on the chair and asked with a smile: "Do you think the template of "囧" is like a snake oil? You just need to change the map and the story, and you can keep playing "囧" ?"
Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously, "Yes! You can keep repeating this."
"The most profound one in the "囧" series is "On the Road to Embarrassment". After "囧", changing the map will only lead to aesthetic fatigue. In addition, the company has other film projects planned to be carried out."
Xu Zheng understood the meaning of Lin Nan's words instantly.
"Director Lin, I, you mean that the company will shelve the "囧" series." Xu Zheng asked tentatively.
“You can also say that, the priority is not high anyway.”
“Then, can you sell the copyright to me?”
At this moment, Lin Nan sat up straight. He looked at Xu Zheng and couldn't help but want to laugh. You really dare to speak up and even make such a request!
I saw Xu Zheng continue to add, "If Director Lin can sell it, the price will definitely not be a problem."
"I remember that you just opened a company in partnership with others this year, right?"< br>
“Yes.”
“Are you sure you can afford it? You know, this is no longer an ordinary copyright issue. The box office outside has already exceeded 1 billion..."< br>
Lin Nan clicked until Xu Zheng definitely understood what he meant.
The latter swallowed, "I know it's not cheap, but I think I should be able to make up for the price Lin Dakai paid."
Lin Nan didn't speak, but looked at Xu Zheng, he also understood the meaning of the latter's words.
Xu Zheng originally came to ask about the sequel, but after learning that Lin Nan didn’t pay much attention to the sequel.
He immediately saw the opportunity and made an instant decision to purchase the copyright.
"Go back."
Suddenly, Lin Nan said.
"Director Lin?"
"The movie hasn't been released yet, and the value of the copyright is immeasurable."
"Then after it is released, will I come back?"< br>
Xu Zheng was a little impatient. He was unwilling to miss this opportunity. He could be promoted to capital with this opportunity.
"No, I will go abroad in two days. Let's talk about it after I come back."
Hearing this, Xu Zheng understood.
When the movie was released, Lin Nan was still abroad and couldn't come back. If he wanted to meet, he had to wait.
"Okay, then I will come to see you again when Director Lin comes back from abroad. At that time, I will also give Director Lin my quotation, which will definitely satisfy you."
.........
Xu Zheng left Lin Nan Pictures. When he got downstairs, he couldn't help but turn around and look at the building behind him.
There was expectation and determination in his eyes, "If I get the copyright, I can use it to attract investors, relationships, connections, circles, class..."
Lin Nan Sitting in the office, thinking about the scene just now, I couldn't help but laugh.
He will not give away the copyright easily.
"Only fools will do it. If you want copyright, the price is not small."
