Chapter 494 Movies, TV series, dubbing
After settling the film investment matter, Wu Gan completely let go.
"In the next two to three months, he will conduct casting and troop training first, and he will start filming around the middle of the year.
You and Director Lin must come to the set by then. Look. He borrowed tanks and cannons, what a guy!” We would also make phone calls from time to time to chat about the progress of the film's preparations.
"Yeah, no problem."
Liu Yifei also agreed simply. This is the first movie she has invested and produced alone, which is of great significance.
Lin Nan no longer interfered with the "Wolf Warrior" matter. He rushed to finish the post-editing of "The Invisible Guest".
......
The mainland film market has returned to a bloody state, but it's just that domestic films are bleeding and turning into cannon fodder.
As for "Love in Seattle", although it still has about ten days to be released, its daily box office has dropped by 100,000, and there is not much film left in the schedule.
Lin Nan decisively chose to start filming in advance, just to leave a little more room for other domestic films to survive.
"The potential of the movie "Love in Seattle" has been exhausted, and the film studio released it early. The total box office of the movie was 582 million, but unfortunately it stopped before the 600 million threshold."
"Lin Nan Pictures Produced by director Lu Yang, "One Man's Martial Arts" will be released at the end of next month, succeeding "Love in Seattle""
...
"This movie is a romance movie. The three adverts are all about jewelry, cosmetics and the like, and the revenue is 32 million.
This is because the movie is produced by our company, otherwise it would be based on Xue It is impossible for the director’s commercial appeal to reach this number.”
Yue Jun reported the summary data of "Love in Seattle" to Lin Nan. This movie is still very profitable because of its small scale.
"Where is "One Man's Martial Arts"?" Lin Nan asked.
Although "Xiu Chun Dao" did not have as high a box office as "Thirty-day Love", due to the type of movie, Lin Nan felt that Lu Yang should be more attractive to advertisers than Xue Xiaolu.
Sure enough, Yue Jun smiled even more happily, "According to the company's practice, there are up to three pre-roll ads, but this time there is only one."
"One?"
"Yes , liquor. How can 'Wulin' be without liquor? They bought three commercials for a total price of 57 million!"
Hearing this explanation, Lin Nan I understand.
This price is actually a bit too high for Lu Yang. But who is called Ying Jing? Jianghu and Wulin are indeed indispensable for wine, and these companies are not short of money!
At the moment, Lu Yang is leading a group of main creators to appear on shows and run road shows. This movie is still stressful.
Yinghuang is also busy, and they are responsible for the distribution in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Speaking of Yinghuang, Lin Nan thought of Jiang Wen's new movie "One Step Away". In the past two days, casting for the movie has begun.
And Jiang Wen’s steps this time were so big that even the film industry felt a little crazy.
The entire movie has an initial budget of 300 million. From the beginning of filming, 3D cameras and supporting facilities have been prepared to prepare for 3D movie versions such as IMAX.
Jiang Wen vowed to compete with top Hollywood blockbusters, and the technical team directly hired a Colombian team.
The most important thing is that he is very bold this time, full of confidence and ambition, as if he wants to have a full meal and get back all the losses and less profits before.
Jiang Wen didn’t bring anyone with him for the 300 million investment. It was all borne by him and Ma Ke’s Biyilehu Pictures, and the film was fully produced!
Even the investment intention of Yang Shoucheng, an old acquaintance, was declined by him, which shows Jiang Wen's appetite and determination this time.
But regardless of this, Lin Nan was confused about the script of "One Step Away".
On the plane back from Cannes last year, Jiang Wen talked about the plots and conceived scenes, and the hypnotic effect was very good!
"By the way, I sent an invitation letter to Director Lin from the movie "The Cook, the Ruffian, the Actor" and it was just delivered to the company this morning."
When Yue left, he did not forget to give a reminder.
This movie is also the most anticipated domestic film in March. It is known as "three movie kings and one drama".
“Well, I get it.”
Lin Nan responded and continued to send text messages.
…………
It is said that people who are shameless are invincible.
In Hua Yi, this sentence is vividly reflected.
A few days ago, Zhou Xingchi failed miserably in his lawsuit and returned to Hong Kong Island. For this reason, he was ridiculed by many Hong Kong filmmakers.
Especially those old enemies and rivals, it can be said that they are chasing each other one-sidedly to scold and bite each other, and their words are extremely unpleasant.
Zhou Xingchi did not respond to these people's cynicism, but rarely said something else.
In the eyes of the public, Zhou Xingchi’s film output efficiency is very low, but it is not the case this time.
When he was interviewed by Hong Kong media, he bluntly said that his next movie is already on the agenda.
And while he was filming "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", he was already thinking about a new movie.
As for the new movie, we will have to choose between the sequel to "Conquering the Demons" and another movie project. This time it won't take too long. It will take up to one and a half to two years of preparation before the project can be launched.
When this news spread from Hong Kong Island to the mainland, the film industry was very excited.
Whether it is film and television companies, distribution companies, or the majority of movie fans and audiences, they are all eagerly awaiting it.
Several large companies have publicly expressed their intention to cooperate and sent cooperation invitations.
At this time, some mainland media went to interview Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei:
"Master Xing said that preparations for a new movie have begun. So, is it possible for Huayi to cooperate with him in the future, or does Huayi still want to cooperate with director Zhou Xingchi?"
This is the question that makes The film industry has seen Huayi's shamelessness.
Wang Zhongjun said without any hesitation, "Of course. Zhou Xingchi is an excellent filmmaker, Hua Yi doesn't want to miss it."
"But the conflict between you has already escalated to a lawsuit. Is it possible to cooperate in the future?”
Wang Zhonglei added with a Yue Buqun-like smile:
"Let's talk about the facts. A lawsuit is a lawsuit, and cooperation is cooperation. We still very much hope to continue to cooperate with Mr. Zhou Xingchi..."
With this face, many colleagues in the industry are "admired". He is indeed Huayi. !
Wang Zhonglei seemed to have completely forgotten that he had ridiculed and belittled Zhou Xingchi a few days ago. His words were extremely humiliating!
In less than half a day, Zhou Xingchi responded to Huayi’s statement in a very rare way, but without naming him;
“In the future movies I will direct or produce, I will carefully select partners and learn from them. Lessons learned. Thank you all.”
Lively, the circle became lively instantly.
Although this is said euphemistically, everyone can understand that in the future movies directed and produced by Zhou Xingchi, he will not cooperate with Huayi!
You know, Zhou Xingchi rarely responds to these conflicts and disputes. This time he made an exception for Hua Yi.
Lin Nan just watched the fun. The ancients also knew that horse bones were bought for a thousand gold, but when it came to Huayi, it turned into killing the donkey and attacking the partners!
…………
"Actresses who can compete with Gong Li..."
Lin Nan went through the actresses in the circle, let alone comparable, there are only a handful of them that are just a little bit behind.
At this time, the phone on the table received a call.
Lin Nan looked at the caller ID and smiled.
“Did you see my text message?”
"I saw it. I have to say, Director Lin, you are really discerning!"
"Then, do you want to come over and sign the contract? I know that you have never limited your own path. Movies and TV will "Yes."
Lin Nan invited jokingly.
Just listened to Zhou Xun on the other end of the phone and paused for a moment:
“There is no schedule in the first half of the year. I even turned down the Hong Kong Film Awards next month. You know, five movies Both of the films nominated for Best Actress were me! ”
What Zhou Xun said was very arrogant. This is the real confidence of an actor.
"Then the second half of the year. I've gone through it in the circle, and only you can try it. After all, the comparison object is Gong Li. Except..."
"Haha, except Older? Tell me, I just hung up the phone."
"Except you can't join the group immediately, your temper is very similar to that of 'Jiu'er'!"
Lin Nan! He changed his words in time, this guy is really smart!
"That's pretty much it. Then I'll leave the schedule for the second half of the year to you. Business is business, and I'm very expensive."
Lin Nan smiled, "That's it, come back later Sign the contract.”
“I understand.”
……
The cost of TV series is generally very high nowadays, especially when choosing big-name actors.
But Lin Nan doesn't care about this. The online broadcast channel of this TV series is destined to be Tudou.
The price quoted by the TV station will definitely not be low, just because the cast and the original author are Nobel Prize winners.
After deciding on the male and female protagonists, Lin Nan left the rest to Jiang Yuerou and the others, including the casting of the director and other actors.
In the outside world, several young actors seem to be competing in the ring.
Here, Tang Dynasty occasionally shows some Reuters photos of Liu Shishi on the set of "Step by Step", and over there, Ni Nai and Feng Shaofeng show off their affection.
Yang Mi firmly takes the top spot, and "Love in Seattle" with 582 million yuan is still popular.
The one that makes people want to complain the most is Yang Ying.
The media solemnly reported: "Yang Ying, one of the new four young actors, will star in the new drama of Yu Zheng Studio, "The Song of Romance in the Clouds"." Subsequently, Yang Ying also He posted a high-profile post on Weibo: "I will join the group next month and I will not let you down."
Huang Xiaoming also posted on Weibo to cheer and cheer for his girlfriend. The momentum is quite big!
However, netizens complained a lot, including cynicism and sarcasm.
“Yang Ying, who has no acting skills, the leader of Sword Sword Cult, and Yu Zheng, who plagiarizes, this combination is amazing!”
“But I have to say, this combination is a hot topic. It's full! It's all negative news..."
...
When Lin Nan got home, she received a phone call, which was a joke.
At the end of November last year, he, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Zhu Yawen, and Luo Jin, representing the crew of "Genius Gunslinger", went to the Golden Horse and Bati No. 4 Middle School and became the big winners.
This incident put the Mainland Film Festival into an embarrassing situation, especially Golden Rooster, which was pushed to the forefront.
The call right now was from a "peacemaker" from Nortel.
I hope he can participate in the registration for this year's Golden Rooster Awards. Whether it is "Genius Gunslinger" or "Time Traveler", he can register for one or two.
Lin Nan laughed angrily, what kind of shameless request is this? It was clear that he wanted him to serve as a stepping stone for the Golden Rooster.
"Registration ends at the end of May? What does it have to do with me! Do you think I look like a fool?"
Lin Nan showed no mercy at all, not to mention that he would not go, just for his two movies, The "taste" of it is completely different from that of Golden Rooster.
In Lin Nan's opinion, with the style of Golden Rooster, even Feng Xiaogang's suffering blockbuster "1942" might be fooled, let alone Lin Nan's commercial film.
When hanging up the phone, the person on the other end of the line asked Lin Nan to think about it again. Lin Nan directly replied: "No need to think about it. I can't afford to be a golden rooster, so I won't be a monkey." ”
Tian Zhuangzhuang didn’t even call Lin Nan, which illustrates the problem.
This group of people definitely didn't tell Tong Tian what was going on, so they had no choice but to come to contact and lobby Lin Nan in person. They didn't even look like they were asking for help.
Liu Yifei was chatting there with her mobile phone in both hands. I don’t know who I’m talking to, but I’m typing pretty fast.
"Oh, Level 02 class group! What are they gossiping about this time?" Lin Nan glanced at them and asked.
Miss Liu raised her head and looked at Lin Nan with some confusion:
"I just saw the gossip from more than half an hour ago. They said that Tang Yan... was hurt by love. ...Slit your wrists to commit suicide? ”
Damn it!
Hearing this, Lin Nan was dumbfounded. Is there such a stupid girl now?
But when he thought about it the next second, he felt relieved. Maybe it really happened.
Turn on the computer, and the Internet is bustling with activity.
After the hospital photos were exposed, Tang Yan Studio immediately responded: "I missed cutting the fruit. Thank you for your concern."
But when cutting fruit, no matter how much you miss, you will most likely cut your hand. How did it end up on your wrist?
In addition, this month the media exposed that she was a scumbag and broke up with her, and her agent, assistant, etc. also accused the man of being shameless and a scumbag, which made the majority of netizens even more imaginative.
"Okay, maybe she is really a stupid girl?" Lin Nan sighed and muttered.
At this time, Liu Yifei also came over.
She looked at Lin Nan and said unexpectedly: "What if one day, you become a scumbag."
"How could I..."
Lin Nan immediately retorted. He has always been an honest man and did his duty... The key is that Liu Yifei's eyes are quite scary, she is very serious.
"I mean if, if that day comes..."
"How about it?"
Lin Nan swallowed and looked at Liu Yifei's delicate face, asked with a smile.
He saw Miss Liu's pretty face leaning over her, less than ten centimeters away, face to face, looking directly into Lin Nan's eyes.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on her lips, she bit her teeth lightly, and said softly:
"Then, let's be sisters."
Hiss... …
Lin Nan instantly felt a bit chilly somewhere on his body.
"Then don't think about it, you can only give birth to a pair of sisters."
"Fuck you, who... wuwu..."
Fortunately, Lin Nan was smart and blocked it. Miss Liu said, it is better not to discuss the topic of being sisters.
The night passed.
The headlines in the entertainment news have been replaced by news about Tang Yan.
The scumbags of Wandao have become the targets of attacks by mainland netizens. What a good girl, with fair skin, beautiful appearance, and those long legs... She was scummed and cuckolded by a young actor from the Bay Island!
…………
“Why are you really like a crow’s mouth?”
Zhu Yawen came to Lin Nan Pictures to sign the contract and said with a suspicious look on her face.
At the beginning, it was just to tease Luo Jin and let him try it with Tang Yan. Finally, he joked that even if he has a partner, he is not necessarily a good match. Now, he is right.
"Congratulations, Master Zhu, you got it right."
Lin Nan handed the contract that his assistant had prepared long ago to Zhu Yawen.
The best friends can go directly to Lin Nan's office to sign the contract. Other actors can go to the conference room on the third floor at most.
"I was thinking, should I go say hello? After all, we all know each other quite well, we are all friends."
"In private. Well, I also reminded Luo Jin." Lin Nan He nodded and said, it was necessary to say hello.
"By the way, the filming won't start until the second half of the year. The partner I've found for you is Zhou Xun, study hard. Brother Xun's acting skills will blow you away."
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Zhu Yawen immediately retorted:
"How can you be so exaggerated? At most... four or five streets at most..."
…………
Golden Rooster Award Registration has officially started.
Last year, "1942" missed the Golden Horse due to competition for Olympic spots, and ended up losing to "Search". Feng Xiaogang was so angry that he complained for a while.
So, this time he signed up for the Golden Rooster immediately for "1942".
Immediately after that, including "Search", various "in-system" movies, or movies co-produced by Mainland and Hong Kong Island, all started to sign up. These are Golden Rooster's "favorite".
“It is reported that Director Lin Nan will once again be absent from the selection of this Golden Rooster Film Festival. So far, it has been four times...”
I don’t know where the media got the news, but Lin Nan estimated that it was Jin Ji who took the initiative to reveal it.
Everyone in the industry and on the Internet can guess it and is talking about it.
"Sure enough, there is still no director Lin Nan this year."
"Reject if you refuse, and you are still absent? Invisibly, you save face for yourself, a cultural person, you can always be wordy!"
“It’s another year of the Golden Rooster Awards, we’ll see what happens this year...”
……
"Lin, my dear boss, I waited until it was daytime over there to call you."
Tom's call came to Lin Nan, and his tone sounded like he wanted something good. the message said.
"Yes, I have a long memory. What is the reason for this call?"
"It's a good thing. Is Crystal here? It's related to her."
"I'm at the company, and she's gone to participate in a magazine shoot. If you have anything to say, just tell her."
"Okay. Lin, didn't you come into contact with Disney at the "Frankenweenie" reception last time? They sent an invitation."
Although two months have passed, Lin Nan has not Forgot what he talked about with the Disney people.
“Are you sure you received the invitation?”
“Of course, the invitation is sent to Crystal Pictures. You or Crystal had better reply as soon as possible. Disney will notify you of the follow-up arrangements.
It is estimated that Crystal will have to come over to participate in the post-dubbing within a month or two at most, unless you choose to refuse now..."
"What are you thinking? How could I say no? After all, it was me who suggested it."
Lin Nan said with a smile. After confirming that it was true, he was in a very good mood.
Liu Yifei went to Paris at that time, and Lin Nan was invited to attend the public relations reception for "Frankenweenie" in the evening.
At the reception, Lin Nan found out that Disney was working on "The Snow Queen", and then he recommended it at the reception. Unexpectedly, it actually happened.
"Well, I understand, I will convey it to her. Thank you for your hard work, Tom."
"You're welcome, say hello to the landlady for me. I look forward to seeing you and Crystal in a month or two."
"Haha, I will."
