Chapter 539 Goal: Summer box office champion
The production cost is as high as 170 million US dollars, and she is the female lead in Hollywood’s top science fiction movies!
The entire film and television industry was shocked by this news.
When was the last time?
"Pacific Rim" was not something Liu Yifei liked, so she gave it to Jing Tian in the end.
But the audience and movie fans don't care who plays the role. Everyone is going for the mechas, monsters and special effects.
"Iron Man 3" doesn't count, it's not even a cameo, and the soy sauce bottle was thrown.
"Resident Evil 5" is not worthy. The investment was only 65 million US dollars, and Li Bingbing's second female lead only had so little role.
The rest of the foreign language films are all unattainable.
Many people have realized one thing. Last time, it seemed that it was Liu Yifei!
It was "Inception" with an investment of 160 million U.S. dollars. She was the supporting actress and half the lead actress.
Compared to "Inception", this time "Interstellar" has gone a step further in terms of investment and ranking!
This topic is all over the internet and online.
“Director Lin is so awesome, Yifei didn’t even leave the house, and he got it done!”
“In a movie directed by Nolan, the female lead this time, I’m afraid Oh my god..."
"On: The importance of having a boyfriend who is a great director."
......
The Weibo posts of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are also very lively.
While a large number of insiders left messages of congratulations, they also did not forget to joke and joke.
"Director Lin did a good job keeping the secret this time. There was no news for two days after he came back. It was Warner who announced it."
"Producer Liu, let's change. Sister, I don't want to act in "Red Sorghum" anymore..."
"Congratulations to Yifei, another top Hollywood production!"
"Director Lin, when are you going to take care of me, brother? I also want to go to Hollywood..."
"Lao Zhu, please hold me back, I will do this for you!"
“Sister Yifei, come on!”
...
Since the news from Hollywood came back to China, Liu Yifei's phone has not been disconnected in the past few hours.
On the other hand, Lin Nan was surprisingly relaxed, just taking a nap to recharge his batteries.
The actors in the industry, especially the actresses, were the most touched.
$170 million, a top international director, a top Hollywood science fiction film, a film destined to be released globally.
No matter which one it is, it has a fatal temptation for actresses in the industry.
It can also make them flock to each other and work hard, even if they have to pay some price...
"I still remember the "Inception" in 2008. Many actresses in the industry have a trace of it. Fantasy, it turns out, it is really a fantasy, because from the beginning, the result was already destined to be Liu Yifei."
"Now, Director Lin is even more straightforward, not letting her go through the audition process, and directly taking the lead. Solve all the problems..."
On the crew of "Gu Jian Qi Tan", Yang Mi was wearing ancient clothes and sitting in the dressing room and said bitterly. She was one of those actresses who went to accompany him.
Why does Lin Nan Pictures allow actors in the film and television industry to compete with each other to make friends with each other? Countless newcomers want to sign with Shanhai Media.
The main reason is resources, enough resources. The most important thing is that Lin Nan Pictures has channels to Hollywood.
Yang Mi makes more now than when she was at Shanhai Media, but she knows that she has also lost many opportunities and possibilities.
“Don’t think too much, give and take, we can only rely on ourselves. After the New Year, we will upgrade the studio to a company, and I have recently started to look for new people...”
Zeng Jia gave Yang Mi a mouthful of chicken soup at the right time.
"Well, good."
......
Almost all the mainland celebrities sent congratulatory messages to Liu Yifei or left messages on Weibo.
They are all human beings and know how to maintain their relationship with Lin Nan. The key point is Liu Yifei.
On the other hand, the new four-star actresses and first-tier actresses rarely communicate with each other.
Except for Shu Chang, Jing Tian and others, most of them have no contact with Liu Yifei because the distance is too far.
"Tiantian, Director Lin said, "Pacific Rim 2" will still be you."
"Yes, I know."
……
“Forget about Hollywood movies. In the new film prepared by director Gu Changwei, the heroine can be given to Yang Ying.”
Wang Zhonglei ordered his secretary. This is also to give Huang Xiaoming face. The Hollywood resources Huayi has access to are also very limited, and they are not of high quality.
In the Tang Dynasty, Cai Yinong is still worried about "The Ballad of the Desert", which has been rejected by the General Administration for the fifth time.
Ever since "The Good Detective", Liu Shishi's film career has been completely cut off, and no big company will give him a chance anymore.
Cai Yinong’s future plans and arrangements for Liu Shishi are to concentrate on acting in TV series. Don’t expect too much from movies. The company has no resources and no channels.
“The salary for the film is five million U.S. dollars. I will wait for the announcement of the specific time of joining the cast. It may be half a month later, maybe a month later. Anyway, the cornfield scene must be completed within three months... …”
Lin Nan told Liu Yifei how much Nolan valued the film, and the five hundred acres of corn were the best proof.
“I wonder how long it will take to shoot?”
Miss Liu frowned. She didn’t really want to spend New Year’s Eve abroad alone.
“Science fiction movies don’t take too long to shoot, especially Nolan’s “Interstellar.” There aren’t too many outdoor scenes, most of them are in a green screen studio, because there are really a lot of special effects. "
"If you are still on the set on New Year's Eve, you will come and accompany me."
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan and said without refutation.
"Of course it's no problem. If you don't tell me, I will come find you."
…………
The time is getting closer to the end of the month.
The atmosphere in the film market has become increasingly chilly. Lin Nan met Guo Fan at the company, along with the leading actors of "Time Traveler".
"In a few days, it will be up to you. Lu Yang's "One Man's Martial Arts" has already sold for 500 million."
"Director Lin, you said so , I’m very stressed.”
Guo Fan joked with a smile, he was telling the truth.
In the Lin Nan Pictures family, he is the only one who has not yet entered the billion-dollar director club.
Although he had served as assistant director for Lin Nan many times, those movies were not his.
Lin Nan could see what Guo Fan was thinking, and the latter was indeed a little stressed.
"What do you think of "Space Traveler"?"
"It must be a good movie." Luo Jin said with a smile.
“I’m acting in ‘True Colors’, haha...” Sun Yizhou also laughed at himself.
...
Wan Qian, Reba, Tang Yan, and Deng Jiajia were all echoing.
"I think it's good too." The last one was Guo Fan, who nodded solemnly.
“So, you might as well set your goal higher this time.
Just think about it, you can go back to the past, change the past, and even affect the original timeline. This story has many gimmicks! More What’s more, the script and plot are so delicate and beautiful.”
Lin Nan talked eloquently and set goals for Guo Fan and others:
“Just staring at Lu Yang’s 534 million, didn’t that Guo Jingming clamor to be the overlord of domestic films in August?< br>
Put down that "Tiny Times 2", why can't the summer box office champion be "Space Traveler"? "
Lin Nan's words lifted everyone's spirits. Be inspired.
Among the actors, Luo Jin has participated in "Thieves" and "The Genius", and Reba has participated in "Passengers".
Three movies, 901 million, 1.43 billion, 952 million. They have experienced the honor brought by high box office.
Luo Jin has steadily entered the first line, and Reba has risen directly to the forefront of the third line from a newcomer.
But the others are different. There are no movies worth 200 million, let alone 500 million.
"Director Lin, your goal is really not low." Guo Fan smiled helplessly.
“Yifei and I will go to the stage for you at the premiere.”
Lin Nan's words instantly gave several people confidence:
"With your words, I feel relieved. The highest box office of domestic films in July did not exceed 500 million. In August, Let "Time Traveler" try it. "
With Lin Nan and Liu Yifei going to the show, Guo Fan feels that at least the attention will skyrocket.
Just as a few people were leaving, Lin Nan saw an idea suddenly pop up in Reba's mind.
It feels quite appropriate for her ethnic minority looks to be stuffed into a foreign language film and used as a vase!
"Well, I can think about it in the future."
…………
Speaking of it, it’s quite funny.
Suddenly, there was news about a "Qigong Master" in the media.
The key is that many big stars and business leaders are visiting one by one, and the Internet is full of photos and reports.
This is another hot topic in the entertainment industry.
I don’t know if these people are really stupid or pretending to be stupid, or if they are up to something shameful.
When Lin Nan arrived at the light, he heard Wang Changtian complain a few words.
“This kind of people should stay away as much as possible. They are all doing evil things, and the water is deep.”
“You can tell at a glance that he is a magician who changed his job and became a broker.” Lin Nan also smiled and echoed.
The release of "Time Traveler" is made by light, and Lin Nan is here to talk about this matter today.
"Don't worry, this copy is no less than "One Man's Martial Arts". Speaking of which, are you so confident in this movie?"
"It's definitely better than that. "Tiny Times 2" and "A Romantic Affair" are both strong, I think there is no rival in the same period."
Lin Nan said confidently.
"Tiny Times" is still being scolded at the moment. The second part will definitely be affected, and the fan effect is destined to not last long.
Those middle school and high school students are the main force, but how can they afford to spend so much money? Are all the families wealthy? Living expenses are high?
As for "A Romantic Affair", there is no need to worry.
Yang Ying plays the heroine. Just think about it and you will know what the result will be.
Lin Nan also admired Gao Qunshu for actually daring to use Yang Ying as the female lead.
I don’t know what he was thinking, even if two more Huang Xiaomings were put in the movie, they wouldn’t be able to drive the box office.
"With your words, I feel relieved. I have been careful this time. The distribution fee and Yue Jun signed a one-point divisible box office. From now on, all your company's movies will be signed like this."
When Wang Changtian said this, there was a hint of cunning in his smile.
Lin Nan was happy, and Lao Wang started to worry about this kind of thing.
"Okay, one point is one point. A box office of 100 million, after deducting the distribution fee paid to the state, is only a little over 900,000 in distribution fees."
"That's just your company. I can do this for a movie. If I were to switch to another production company, I would be at a loss if I signed a share ratio.”
"That's it." Lin Nan nodded.
Sometimes the box office performance is too good, and it is easy to be missed by the big guys, so the opportunity and fun of taking advantage of it are lost.
