Chapter 563: Keep it for yourself?
After nine days of release, the box office of "The Dragon King" has exceeded 400 million, which shocked the film industry.
If this continues, Xu Ke may break his own highest box office record, which was "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" which was released during the Lunar New Year period last year with a box office of 520 million.
Hua Yi can be said to have swept away the decline of the past two years in the past few days, and finally has a movie that is a hit at the box office.
On the other hand, "Special Identity", which is fully produced by Starlight, also held its premiere ceremony 10 days in advance.
More than 200 media, film and television companies, theaters and filmmakers from the industry came, and the scene was magnificent!
As the absolute "core", Zhenzi is single and holds three positions: male lead, martial arts instructor and director of production.
He regards "Special Identity" as his trump card to "revitalize his reputation" in the field of action films, and it is also a comeback.
“Before, we have never mentioned the specific box office target of our movie. Today, through the premiere, I can clearly tell all my media friends, fans and audiences:
My The team expects the box office of this movie to be at least 600 million, and they are very confident. I will also tell some colleagues what is the benchmark for modern action movies.
The action design of "Special Identity" has completely reached the level of leading the trend, and has reached a height that some foreign filmmakers who shoot action scenes can use it as a reference..."
Donnie Yen's words are very resonant. , was reported that afternoon, and quickly spread throughout the film and television circles and the Internet.
Many people in the industry were making fun of Donnie Yen's words, which were meant for Ying Huang and Lin Nanying. Ye and Zhao Wenzhuo heard it.
As for the box office expectation of 600 million, isn't this based on the box office of "One Man's Martial Arts" of more than 500 million?
"He! If the movie makes a loss, he will be completely kicked out of the first-line team in the field of action movies, and other types of movies will not get his turn. ”
After Yue Jun came back, he made a rare comment on Zhen Zidan, and his tone was very affirmative.
"Then I guess he has to stay in the second line, hahaha..."
Lin Nan took over the conversation and added.
He will never believe that a movie produced by a "martial arts director" who controls the team and the overall situation will be a good movie.
The most striking example is Yuan Heping. As a martial arts instructor, he was the best, but when he switched to a director, he almost lost every movie he made, and they were all bad movies.
What's more, it's a dabbler like Donnie Yen, who directs the director as a martial artist, starring actor and producer, and intervenes in the filming of the film.
…………
I remember that it seemed like six years ago, "The Legend of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" was "reported" and removed from the shelves.
This made many people in the industry Colleagues said it was unbelievable, it was simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.
In the past two days, in the eyes of many industry insiders and netizens, the very childish "Pleasant Goat" and "Bear Infested" were also "reported" and had to be suspended and rectified.
Those reasons for reporting are really weird.
Just like "Pleasant Goat", what: the lambs always tease the village chief and disrespect their elders; the red wolf often inflicts domestic violence on the gray wolf;
the gray wolf roasts and boils the sheep. , electrocute sheep, and teach bad children; red wolf and gray wolf are always called "wife" and "husband" in disgusting ways, which even induces children to "sexually" mature prematurely.
The "Bear Bears" is even more direct. The entire cartoon is a violent conflict between Bald Qiang and two bears, as well as guns and ammunition.
As a result, many companies in the industry with animation business are trembling and starting to be timid, and even Lin Nan has been affected.
"Shiyue Culture is worried that if "The Return of the Great Sage" is produced, it will be reported in the same way.
I heard that CCTV's "Journey to the West" cartoon has also been reported in the past two years. Many times, I can’t stand it anymore.”
Yue Jun conveyed the concerns of Jin Dayong and others to Lin Nan, and many animated films were reported to be removed from the shelves.
Lin Nan pinched his eyebrows, wanting to laugh but feeling sad at the same time. This was such a bad environment. It would be better for you to ban some sacred dramas than to stare at cartoons!
“Tell them, don’t worry about this, I’m here. If anything unexpected happens, I’ll go and talk to them.
Besides, after entering the theater chain, I will put it directly on Tudou. If it doesn’t work, there is still a way. I’ll find the movie channel to help promote it, and the film bureau...”
Hearing Lin Nan’s words, Yue Jun felt much safer instantly.
"By the way, what progress has been made to what I told you last time? "Lin Nan looked at the Vietnamese army and asked.
"Director Lin, you also said that there is no need to rush this matter, you can take your time. I just expressed my intention of acquisition in a tactful way two days ago. "
"Then what? ”
"Several founders had different opinions and a lot of resistance. Some of them agreed to our investment..."
"Didn't you refuse on the spot?"
"That's not true." Yue Jun thought. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said.
“If you didn’t reject it on the spot, that’s good news. Just keep working hard. Forget about buying shares, it’s just them taking advantage, unless it’s 100%.
Dream about this thing, it’s best to have a full meal. Let’s talk about it, get the best of both worlds, and don’t delay. In the end, the last resort is to add money!”
"Hahaha, what you said, Director Lin, is really interesting."
…………
The National Day holiday is over, but the film market has no intention of cooling down.
"I Want to Be Good With You" produced by LeTV and produced by Feng Shaofeng and Ni Na, grossed 14.85 million at the box office on the first day.
For a small-budget literary romance film with an investment cost of just over 10 million, this is a very impressive result.
They are also boyfriend and girlfriend in real life, and they play lovers in the movie together.
This movie by Feng Shaofeng and Ni Nai is much better than "A Romantic Affair" by Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying!
However, so far, all the records for movies of the same type are still in the hands of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.
It is the romantic literary film that won the Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize and the Best Supporting Actress Award, and the domestic box office reached 488 million, "The Fault in Our Stars"!
Lin Nan thought for two days and finally called Tom.
"Lin, have you considered it? They have urged me several times. Their offer is more than six times, nearly seven times, the price we originally bought it for."
"Tom, tell the other party , we are not considering selling this novel."
"What? Lin, what does this mean? Should our company keep it for ourselves?"
Lin Nan nodded subconsciously. He nodded and said with a smile: "It's not impossible. Listen to me and reject them. I will have plans and arrangements for this novel in the future." "This... okay, listen to you, who made you the boss? Also, say hello to Crystal for me.”
"Haha, you guys are such a flatterer. I'll pass it on." Lin Nan laughed and cursed, then hung up the phone.
…………
"The Breakup Master" has only been filming for half a month. According to Wang Changtian, Deng Chao and the crew have already flown to Mauritius, and the filming progress is quite fast.
When Lin Nan heard this, the words "shoddy" came to mind? !
But when I think about it, it seems that this is a movie that is forced to be funny for the sake of being funny. It is not very high-quality, just to make money!
Thinking about it this way, Lin Nan felt much better, without the "pressure" on her conscience.
Liu Yifei, who returned from the crew of "Interstellar", has resumed her former "lazy" leisurely life.
Coupled with Shu Chang, the two people have exactly the same purpose and the same state: eating, drinking and having fun.
However, Lin Nan did not get involved. He went back to Nortel again.
Han Ga Nyeo’s short film has been edited. As the producer, Lin Nan has to go and take a look. This is his responsibility.
I drove straight to the film school, and then entered the school gate with my face scanned. During this process, I aroused the curiosity and discussion of many passing students.
Lin Nan’s photo has always been the “number one” in the school’s outstanding alumni column.
In recent years, school students are much smarter and more thoughtful than before.
Lin Nan would be stopped from time to time while walking in the school, and 99% of them were girls.
This made him couldn't help but lament that recruiting people for the acting department was becoming increasingly unreliable, and they really only looked at looks and not potential.
Moreover, the quality of teaching is getting worse and worse. These students have no acting skills at all.
When they saw Lin Nan, there was obviously more scheming and desire in those eyes than the "admiration" in their mouths.
"When the time comes to go back to school, you have to choose carefully what courses you want to take..."
Walking all the way to the directing department, Lin Nan found Han Jia'v in the editing room.
"Brother Lin, you are here. Help me take a look at the short video, which is 32 minutes and 43 seconds in total."
Generally speaking, a short film of 20 minutes is enough, but I didn’t expect Han Ga Nyeo’s to be half an hour.
“The paper is finished too?”
“Well, I just finished it in the past two days.”
Lin Nan has a feeling that Han Jianu seems to be a little different today. , this has grown in a few days?
“You used to be careless in front of me, but today you are so ‘normal’, is something abnormal?”
"Well, my dad has changed so much in the past half month, which has made me reflect a lot.
He said he would open a company for me and asked me not to be as unconventional as before. He said a lot , I have never spoken so many words to me before..."
Han Jianyu said a lot with emotion on her face.
Uh... Lin Nan is really hard to answer this kind of thing.
He knew that the father and daughter had little communication in the past. Old Han was busy with China Film and Television, and his daughter was basically free.
This sudden change is quite abrupt, and it may indeed change Han Jia Nyeo a lot.
"Come on, let's take a look at your graduation work first..."
Lin Nan sat in the seat vacated by Han Jianu and began to pull the film.
The 32-minute and 43-second short film was pulled back and forth three times before Lin Nan stopped.
“The editing of the scenes is quite smooth, the camera switching is also okay, the plot... I guess seventy points. In the end, after all the 'extra points', I should be able to get an outstanding graduate."
Lin Nan said to Han Jianu with certainty.
Although the world is unfair, this is the reality.
With his and Han Sanping’s endorsement, there will be no surprises in Xiao Han’s final score, which will definitely be no less than 90 points!
Hearing what Lin Nan said, Han Jianu instantly became happy.
"Then from tomorrow, I can go to the Chinese Department with peace of mind until my graduation defense next year, haha..."
Sure enough, I still miss the Chinese department.
“Do you still want to be a screenwriter in the future?” Lin Nan asked.
"Well, I like screenwriting, and directing can be an alternative side job."
Han Jianu was very direct, "When I write a good script in the future, I will ask Senior Brother Lin to come over Shoot?”
“Haha, of course, I’m looking forward to your script.”
"Then you wait."
When leaving Nortel, Lin Nan saw Chen Jinfei's car at the school gate.
It’s just that the person who got off the bus was not Chen Jinfei, but the female acting student who had a slight resemblance to Liu Xiaoli.
Of course, in Lin Nan's opinion, at most they are just somewhat similar in appearance, but the most important difference in temperament is more than a thousand miles away.
…………
I probably won’t be able to get up in the morning...
