Chapter 596 The Oscars are coming, setting a new record
The Oscar Academy officially announced the award date, which is March 2nd, North American time.
Lin Nan also received calls from Leonardo, Jessica Chastain and others.
In addition to thanking him as a director, we also agreed to get everyone together in Hollywood at the end of February.
"Lin, because "The Invisible Guest" has already been released in North America, the copyright transaction amount this time is only 62 million U.S. dollars."
After hearing this number from Tom, Lin Nan couldn't help but take a breath.
Oscar nominations are indeed valuable!
Even though it has been released in North America, the world's largest film market, can it still sell so many in other regions combined?
“Perhaps there is also the reason for the blessing of the main creative lineup?”
Lin Nan thought in his mind. After all, he is also a frequent visitor to the three major European film festivals, and Leonardo's box office appeal is also not small.
After ending the call with Tom, Lin Nan drove from the company to Bad Monkey.
The script of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" has been reviewed, and Lu Yang made an announcement through Lin Nan Pictures' Weibo.
He sent out all the roles available for audition, accepted audition resumes, and started auditioning in early March.
The reason why I am not in a hurry to audition is actually because I am waiting for Zhang Zhen to come out of the crew of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain".
In addition, Lu Yang also told Lin Nan a nasty idea:
"I also used the actor Zhang Zhen. When I set the schedule later, wouldn't it be interesting if I released "Xiu Chun Knife 2" on the same day as "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain"? What if it beats the box office again? It would be even more interesting to watch Director Chen's "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain"! "
Lu Yang's idea is very bold, but it makes sense. After all, not only did both films use Zhang Zhen, but they also used Zhang Zhen. Martial arts movies.
If it were released on the same day, it would definitely be a hot topic.
And suppose that Lu Yang really crushes Chen Kaige... Tsk, tsk, tsk, that circle will definitely be very lively, it's exciting just thinking about it!
Lu Yang has this idea, which also shows one thing. In other words, he has absolute confidence to compete head-on with Chen Kaige in martial arts movies.
...
When it came to Bad Monkey, Ning Hao still had a bitter, round face.
“I’m here to pay my respects to the Golden Bear Trophy.” Lin Nan joked with a smile.
“Looking for trouble, right?”
Before Ning Hao could react, Xing Aina glared at Lin Nan.
Good guy, there are advantages to not winning the Golden Bear Award. At least the husband and wife are reconciled.
Xing Aina can take the initiative to protect Ning Hao, which means that the matter of checking mobile phone text messages on New Year's Eve has been revealed.
"Sit down."
Ning Hao pointed to the sofa next to him.
“How is it? When the award is announced, your heart beats very fast, right?”
"Nonsense, those are the top three in Europe.
The Golden Bear went to "Fireworks in the Day". When I had no results, my mind went blank for a moment and I didn't know where I was. I waited for a long time. "
As he spoke, Ning Hao sighed;
"I don’t know when I will have the chance to go to the top three universities again... Anyway, in the past two years, I have been I’m not going to make any more award-winning movies.”
“Then hurry up and do the post-production of “The Flowers of the Heart.” It’s shameful that you are still at the bottom of the 200 million club.”
"His uncle, you wait for me, I will let you know what a blockbuster is..."
Between talking and laughing, the gloomy atmosphere disappeared.
Suddenly, Ning Hao changed the topic:
"That "囧" series is really harmful to people."
"What's the matter?"
"On this trip to Berlin, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo were really at odds with each other. Although they seemed harmonious on the surface, I could tell that they were already strangers.
Before "No Man's Land" was released, and there were more promotions in the middle. It was not like this when I asked you to come out for dinner. "
Lin Nan understood it instantly after hearing this, and it seemed that Ning Hao also knew it. Xu Zheng kicked Huang Bo out of "囧".
Even if he didn’t agree to participate in the project, he kicked him out because of the high salary! This operation cannot be evaluated. After all, with the popularity of the "囧" series, how much investment will be needed?
“Money moves people’s hearts, Xu Zheng is an ambitious person who wants to be a capital.
Don't get involved in their affairs. How should we get along with each other? "...
When an unknown number called, Liu Yifei, who was playing the game, did not hesitate and hung up with a backhand.
The second call came in
But when the number came in for the third time, Ms. Liu couldn't help but wonder if an acquaintance had changed her number.
>
Within ten minutes, three calls were made. When the other party actually picked up the phone, Yang Mi felt a little timid.
I got this number from Yue Jun when I was still at Shanhai Media. I didn’t expect to actually use it today.
"Yifei, I am Yang Mi..."
Hearing this voice, Liu Yifei reacted for a few seconds, with a look of confusion on her face.
“Well, is there something wrong?”
"You know, I have acted in the company's "Xiu Chun Knife" before. I want to ask about the second part, who is playing the female..."
Liu Yifei looked at the computer that had turned gray. Screen, a little distressed, Shu Chang was still typing and asked her what was wrong.
"I don't interfere in the casting, but I can tell you that the female lead has been decided."
These words made Yang Mi on the other end of the phone feel like she was falling into the abyss. She stumbled and said: "Well, thank you, Yifei, bye."
"Well, bye."
The moment she hung up the phone, Miss Liu immediately reentered the battle.
On the other side, Zeng Jia looked at the ashen-faced Yang Mi and knew that there was no chance, but she couldn't help but asked:
"Who won the female lead? ."
"Shu Chang."
Zeng Jia opened his mouth, having nothing to say. This is almost the same as Liu Yifei's personal participation!
In terms of audience popularity, Shu Chang had so many hit TV series, and at his peak, he even surpassed Liu Yifei. She is also the best supporting actress in Golden Horse, and her acting skills are better than Yang Mi...
Yang Mi looked at Zeng Jia's expression and knew what she was thinking.
"I have no hope. This was definitely decided by Director Lin himself."
"It can't be Liu Yifei? They have such a good relationship, they are like biological sisters."
"Although I don't have much contact with her, I know her. She is very well-educated. She will not lie or deceive, nor will she disdain you. At most, she will ignore you..."
Yang Mi talked about her knowledge of Liu Yifei, which made Zeng Jia a little stunned.
……
As mid-February ends, several movies released during the Spring Festival are being followed and reported by the media.
"The Fairy Tale" was forced to be withdrawn with a box office of 29.3 million; "The Ex-Raiders" received 89.5 million and stopped there.
“"Macau" has been in theaters for three weeks, with a total box office of 370 million, and the daily box office dropped to 2 million!"
""Havoc in Heaven" grossed 100 million in its third week, bringing the total to 770 million!"
The highlight of the media is always at the end:
"The third week of release of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" , with a box office of 265 million, and the total box office reached 1.473 billion!”
“The box office record of 1.43 billion domestic movies, directed by Lin Nan, was set yesterday by Lin Nan himself. .
"Take Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has become the first in the domestic movie box office rankings, and the total box office will continue to accumulate in the next forty days..."
...
In the past twenty days, the film industry seems to have become accustomed to it.
At this moment, everyone has a consensus in their hearts.
Perhaps the next big news for "Taking Tiger Mountain" will be that its box office exceeds 2 billion.
After all, there are still nearly forty days of release time!
