Chapter 549: Although it’s a bit ugly, it’s really sweet
In Hong Kong, all the big names who deserve their name are flying to Thailand in droves.
Many Hong Kong stars who are filming in the Mainland or doing commercials have also temporarily put their work on hold.
These sudden behaviors are all because a master named "White Dragon King" died! ?
From the perspective of the mainland film and television circles, this is really a fantasy and incomprehensible.
Lin Nan was sitting in Guangguang's chairman's office, drinking tea sold by Lunke and joking about these gossips.
He was invited here today to simply drink tea and then listen to the movie Wang Changtian had to say.
"You are so cruel. After deducting the 3.3% special business tax and 5% of the special film fund from the box office of a movie, the remaining 91.7% is the divisible box office.
And 42% of the 91.7% belongs to the producer and the publisher. As a result, you have to take 20% from the 91.7% first..."
Wang Changtian said with a distressed look, Lin Nan reacted suddenly.
He said why Lao Wang invited him to drink tea for no reason today and why he wanted to talk about movies.
The movie that we should talk about emotionally is the sequel to Xu Zheng's "囧"!
"Did Xu Zheng produce the script? Did Wang Dong get the share?"
Lin Nan asked subconsciously.
He remembered that Wang Changtian made a special call and asked him if he had really sold the copyright of the "囧" series to Xu Zheng.
After confirmation, Lao Wang made it clear that he wanted to participate in investing in the sequel, and Lin Nan asked him to find Xu Zheng himself.
Is it done now?
"Yes, I did get the share, but that guy is very smart and wants the company to waive the issuance fee."
Wang Changtian said with a smile, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
“Agreed?”
Lin Nan guessed that Xu Zheng was shrewd to begin with.
"I agreed. This kind of movie is medium-budget at best. With the title of sequel to the "囧" series, there is almost no need to do any publicity, and distribution is even more worry-free."
"As for the script, he hasn't finished it yet, he just has an outline."
"Name?"
"Temporarily named "囧 in Hong Kong"."
After saying this, Wang Changtian looked at Lin Nan and felt a little uncomfortable again:
"Guang Guang and Xu Zheng's Zhen Le Dao combined only accounted for 23% of the divisible box office, which is only less than you 3 more points! "
"Haha, if there is a sequel after "囧 in Hong Kong", I will be 10%.
And this is the sequel to "囧 in Thailand", and it is still a small and medium-sized movie. It’s hard to lose money on a low-budget movie, so don’t complain, Director Wang.”
After staying for two hours, Lin Nan declined Wang Changtian’s invitation to have lunch and left the studio.
He also made an appointment with a "personal trainer" to learn something.
…………
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which has been criticized by the industry and the entire Internet for more than half a month, has new news.
"The new version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Chen Xiao, Chen Yanxi, Zhang Xinyu and others officially started production today."
"It is reported that Yu Zheng's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has fewer filming locations, far less than Zhang Jizhong's version..."
"Chen Yanxi accepted an interview with the media and admitted that she does have a lot of psychological pressure, but she will work hard to overcome it and present a different version of Xiao Longnu to the audience."
"Chen Xiao does not shy away from comparisons with Huang Xiaoming and Louis Koo. , I will try my best to surpass..."
The entertainment industry is like this. Praising and scolding you sometimes represent your "success". After all, black and red are also red!
Just like this movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", no matter how big the opinions of netizens are or how fierce the criticism is, it will not help, and the film studio will only be happier.
Anyway, Yu Zheng didn’t get any of the attention and topics that should have been harvested.
Perhaps from the beginning, Yu Zheng had only one idea:
Since he is not sure or has not thought about surpassing the classics, then just go independent, subvert everyone's understanding, and make money!
……
In a blink of an eye, the third week of August is over.
Several domestic films have either come to an end or have stopped.
In terms of box office, "Space Traveler" is still the most eye-catching one.
"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures and directed by Director Guo Fan, "Love in Time" was released for three weeks, with a total box office exceeding 500 million, with a revenue of 501.4 million."
""Love in Time" The daily box office of "Traveler" has dropped to more than 8 million, and there are still 10 days until release."
In China, another director with a box office of 500 million is born! And it is still produced by Lin Nan Pictures, the previous one was Lu Yang.
Nortel's response was faster than that of Lin Nan Pictures.
Before Yue Junyong's company could post a congratulatory message on Weibo, the film school's official website had already pinned the text message to the top.
"Congratulations to the film "Love Traveler" directed by Guo Fan, an outstanding graduate of our school, for successfully breaking through the box office of 500 million..."
Congratulations in the circle are all directed to Guo Fan .
Speaking of which, he is a direct descendant of Lin Nan Films, and Lin Nan found him at the graduate student interview site.
To a certain extent, Guo Fan and Lin Nan are closer than Lu Yang!
"Space Traveler" is a hit, but other domestic films are different.
""Tiny Times 2" has been in theaters for two weeks, with a total box office of 262 million, and the daily box office dropped to 100,000, which is a far cry from the first film!"
The Internet is complaining, This is a far cry from each other. This is a difference of nearly half of the box office, a difference of 220 million!
To be honest, among the veteran celebrities, Lin Nan feels that Fan Bingbing can really handle the box office.
Even if it is a literary film, a romance film or a crime suspense film, as long as she stars in it, she will rarely lose money.
Just like this "One Night Surprise", it made 160 million in two weeks of release.
Although the daily box office dropped by 500,000 yuan, it definitely made money. After all, the cost was only 40,000 yuan.
…………
Yang Mi felt as if the house was leaking and it rained all night.
The nomination of "Search" in the Golden Rooster made her worried, and "Tiny Times 2" also went downhill.
Think about it when "Tiny Times 1" was first released, the daily box office once reached more than 70 million.
She originally thought that she would surpass the box office of "Love in Seattle" and that she would successfully become a heroine with a box office of 600 million.
But now it seems that the joy is really in vain.
When Yang Mi saw the news about the 500 million box office of "Space Traveler", she felt even more complicated.
Because Guo Fan said at the beginning that he could directly give her a supporting actress role and audition for the heroine.
If she goes by herself, the heroine should be fine. After all, we are all in the same company, and Yue Jun also takes good care of himself and will help.
“Alas...”
…………
After several days of study, Lin Nan successfully mastered a craft and successfully graduated.
As soon as he returned to the company, his assistant came to the office.
"Director Lin, there are several invitations sent specifically to you."
"Who sent them all? Bring them over and let me have a look."
Lin Nan said Then, he had already received a stack of invitations from his assistant.
The next moment, his eyes widened, and then he smiled silently.
Hey guys, are Internet companies getting together to send out invitations in the past two days? It shouldn’t be just Lin Nan Pictures, right?
"Alibaba: Film and Television Industry Report Conference in the Internet Era":
"Penguin: Film and Television Culture Industry Investment Exchange Conference";
"Baidu: Redefining..."
"Sohu :…”……
Lin Nan quickly scanned these invitations, and only one word came to his mind: watching with eagerness.
This hasn’t even come in yet, and everyone’s tone is so loud.
What invitation is this? What are you guys doing here?
Are you trying to show off your power, or are you showing off your muscles and preparing to recruit your younger brother?
Lin Nan curled his lips, he didn't want to go, and he didn't have time.
"Where is Director Jiang?"
"The budget of "Red Sorghum" has exceeded the budget, and Director Jiang is handling it."
"Then inform Director Yue and let him handle it. There is only one week left. I won’t come to the company.”
The assistant was obviously stunned when he heard Lin Nan’s words.
"Okay, Director Lin. I will tell Director Yue soon."
"Well, let's go out."
Lin Nan was still complaining about these Internet companies in his heart. If it were any other time, he might not be in the mood to listen to their bragging.
What are the days at the end of the month? Sorry, no time.
Liu Yifei is about to join the team, so Lin Nan needs to spend more time with her.
……
The next day, Lin Nan got up very early and started working.
He even pretended that he went to the company early.
At around 11 o'clock, Liu Yifei called Lin Nan.
“Where are you?”
“I just left the company and I am busy outside at the moment.”
"Have you forgotten what day today is?"
Liu Yifei's voice had a somewhat dissatisfied tone, as if she was saying: You'd better answer, otherwise I'll be angry!
“Today seems to be someone’s birthday, right?”
“Hey, you’re pretty good at pretending!”
On the other end of the phone, Miss Liu’s voice suddenly changed. It has to be crisp and sweet.
"Since early in the morning, those people in the circle have been sending you birthday wishes. They all remember me, can you remember me as your boyfriend?"
"Well, when will you come back? Is it still the afternoon?"
“What’s wrong?”
“Mom is going to order a cake. Come back early this afternoon.”
Lin Nan subconsciously looked at the semi-finished product in front of him: “Let Auntie, there is no need to order it. I have already arranged it and will take it back in the afternoon.”
'ah? Well, okay. ’
It wasn’t until Ms. Liu hung up the phone that Lin Nan put down the phone.
"I have been studying for a week, you have to give me some credit!"
Lin Nan muttered softly, and then started to move again. This is really not an easy task. Work.
Everything has to be done by yourself, which is not only a lot of steps, but also cumbersome. Lin Nan is not very skilled at doing this, so he must be slow.
...
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan finally finished all the petals, patterns, and text on the cake.
“There is a huge difference between painting on a cake and splitting shots.”
Lin Nan looked at his work and nodded hesitantly:
"Hmm...should, maybe, maybe, is it acceptable?"
He picked up his cell phone and called Liu Yifei.
“Are you back? I didn’t see you.”
“Come to my side, I’ll give you a surprise.”
“Haha, there’s still a surprise ? Wait, I'll be right over..."
Through the phone, Lin Nan could hear Liu Yifei's sweet laughter. She didn't hang up, and there were cats and dogs barking beside her.
...
Looking at the scene in front of her, Liu Yifei’s eyes widened and she couldn’t believe it.
The next moment, a bright smile burst out on her face, "You, really you did it?"
"Who else could it be besides me? After doing it for a day, from now on It started in the morning and just ended."
Lin Nan said with a chuckle, he was really a little tired and his face was still stained with cream.
"When did you know how to do this? Why didn't I know."
Miss Liu threw herself into Lin Nan's arms, raised her head and smiled, her voice becoming grandma's, a little sweet.
"I've been out early and come back late these days. How about learning from a teacher now?"
Liu Yifei turned her head and looked at the six-layered cake seriously for the first time.
Besides each floor are red roses in full bloom. The top is still decorated with roses, surrounded by a portrait of a character. It should be me, right?
"This is me?"
"Well, yes, how about it?"
"Your drawing is really ugly, don't draw it next time..."
" Oops, it’s just a matter of time. How did I know that this is so different from the split shot? It’s the first time.”
Twenty minutes later, the two people carried the six-layer cake and walked towards the villa next door. .
Miss Liu was giggling along the way, she was so silly and so cute.
A group of beautiful kittens and puppies are surrounding the two of them. The picture is beautiful...
…………
At eight o’clock in the evening, Liu Yifei’s Weibo was updated with two photos and a paragraph of text.
A group photo with Lin Nan was taken by Liu Xiaoli, and Liu’s mother did not want to be in the photo.
The other photo is of Liu Yifei hugging the cake, but the expression on her face is funny.
The accompanying text is very concise: "This is a big cake made by Director Lin himself! Although it is a bit ugly, it is really sweet. It is sweet in my heart, hehe..."
Not even Within a minute, it was filled with messages.
"Happy birthday, Sissi, remember to leave a piece of cake for me."
"Happy birthday, sister Yifei."
"Is Director Lin so talented? Will he still do this? As a brother, I don't believe it!"
"I'm jealous! Yifei, tomorrow, lend your director Lin to my sister for my use... ..."
"Brother Xun, delete those words of tiger and wolf, please let me post them!"
"Does Director Lin have to make such a big cake for a long time?"< br>
