Chapter 614 Film and Television Investment
After being "annoyed" by this group of people in the industry for a day, Lin Nan finally lived a peaceful life.
At the same time, the Capital International Film Festival also officially opened.
Although "The Invisible Guest" did not participate in the exhibition, there is really a lot of connection between this film festival and Lin Nan.
Because he participated in the investment of "The Breakup Master" and "Heart Blossoms" are participating films. Both crews also have to walk the red carpet.
Lin Nan thought that since La Peikang asked him to show up, he would simply go and have sex for free and watch the unreleased movies in advance.
As for Liu Yifei, she got on the plane at 9:30 in the morning and went to Hengdian for a visit.
First of all, she is the producer of "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield", so you have to go and see it.
Secondly, it was Shu Chang who was shouting, and Liu Yifei was also planning to spend one more day there.
“You really don’t want to walk the red carpet with us? How about we stay together.”
The opening ceremony was in the morning, and Ning Hao wanted to kidnap Lin Nan with him.
"Go away, I'm here for a walk today, not to work." Lin Nan opened Ning Hao's hand and cursed with a smile.
This group of people were all in suits or dresses with high heels. Lin Nan was dressed in casual clothes, as if he was on an outing.
"Look, this is the attitude after the net worth increased by 3.1 billion. Alas, the friendship has faded and we are no longer friends. I feel uncomfortable."
Ning Hao looked around Many people also acted.
The rough man with a sinister face pretended to be resentful and heartbroken, which made people get goosebumps.
"Haha, this shot by Director Ning Hao is worth a Best Actor trophy."
In the distance, Jackie Chan walked over with a smile, followed by Ren Zhonglun and Wang Zhonglei.
Lin Nan was a little confused, these three were mixed together?
"Director Lin, congratulations on doubling your net worth. Weibo's stock price rose a bit yesterday." Wang Zhonglei said with a smile.
"Are you three together this time?"
Lin Nan changed the topic and asked curiously.
I saw Jackie Chan pointing to a few actors in the distance, including foreign actors, "Take them to the red carpet together."
At this time, Ren Zhonglun also spoke:
"Shanghai Film, Huayi, and Jackie Chan's Sparkle Pictures have jointly invested in a costume blockbuster, which will start shooting in the next two days. It happened to be announced today at the Capital International Film Festival."
"Well, it's a very good script, "Heavenly Generals", about the Protectorate of the Western Regions during the Western Han Dynasty." Jackie Chan explained enthusiastically.
“This time we are going to make a real historical costume masterpiece, and our budget is as high as 400 million!”
Wang Zhonglei added unhurriedly, which invisibly gave a lot to those around him. The crew showed off their power and demonstrated the strength of the giant company.
"Oh, then I wish this "Heavenly Generals" a box office success."
Lin Nan nodded and gave a blessing. The cost is so high and it's not easy to operate, but with Jackie Chan, I think the copyright will sell easily.
Within half an hour, the red carpet of the opening ceremony officially started, and Lin Nan also turned towards the screening room area.
What’s good to see on the red carpet? It's nothing more than male actors acting as green leaves and female actors competing for beauty.
Many films that have not yet been released are being screened at the Capital International Film Festival.
There is no need to worry about piracy, because everyone who can come in has their real names, either from the industry or from the media, and the higher-ups cannot afford to lose this person.
“Blue Bones? Not interested.”
"'Beauty and the Beast', a French movie, looks pretty good..."
...
After some selection, Lin Nan finally walked into the screening room of "The Breakup Master".
“Let’s see how much return you can get on your investment first.”
It is said that most of the people who can come to watch movies are insiders. Sure enough, Lin Nan actually met an acquaintance. .
There were not many viewers in the screening room of "The Breakup Master", less than ten, because it was red carpet time after all, and most people were there.
"Director Lin?"
"Director Lin."
Lin Nan was stunned and glanced at the only two people sitting in the middle of the fourth row.
"Yan Fei, Shen Teng?"
"Hey, Director Lin still remembers me. Oh, my little heart is so excited. Haha..."
"Director Lin, sit here."
Faced with other people's invitations , Lin Nan naturally couldn't refuse, so he sat next to Yan Fei.
On the big screen, "The Breakup Master" has not started yet, and we have to wait for another two or three minutes.
Lin Nan simply started chatting, "Why didn't you go to the red carpet?"
Before Yan Fei could speak, Shen Teng rushed to answer.
"Unlike you, you are too lazy to go. But what can we say? We are neither movie actors nor have we been invited to the red carpet. When we go over there and look at others, we can only feel envy and bitterness. It's still annoying. You think so?"
Yan Fei also nodded with a smile, "It's better to watch a movie." Lin Nan didn't answer the two people's words and was about to change the topic. The screen lights up and the movie begins.
“Oh, I remembered that Director Lin’s company also invested in this movie.”
On the big screen, Lin Nan Pictures and Guangguang appeared side by side in the producer column, following behind.
"Yes, I voted half of it." Lin Nan nodded and said.
"Lao Yan, look, other people's plays can be turned into movies. When can we try it too?"
Shen Teng's tone was ridiculing, but he was also envious.
He and Yan Fei were able to come to the screening room of "The Breakup Master" because they heard that this movie was also adapted from a play.
"Shut up, do you think a movie is a theater show? If a show crashes, it means an apology, a free performance, and only tens of thousands of tickets.
Making a movie is a high risk, not only It involves production costs, as well as publicity and distribution costs. If you lose it, it will be eight figures, not eight figures starting with 1! Are you paying for your performance fees and remuneration..."
Lin Nan was watching "The Breakup Master" and listening to the two people bickering quietly, which was quite interesting.
Suddenly, an idea came into his mind, and it took root in an instant and grew into a towering tree.
"If your company has the idea of entering the film industry, you can come to me, whether you are short of funds or connections. My company has a business, which is film and television investment."
Lin Nan's voice seemed to be bewitching, causing the two of them to fall silent instantly and both looked at him.
Yan Fei's eyes widened. Shen Teng didn't dare to steal the conversation this time. He couldn't get involved in such a high-end topic.
"Director Lin, are you kidding me? Our company is not that capable of withstanding pressure. It is a small company and a small theater."
Yan Fei knows that opportunity is something that cannot be dealt with. He had to hold on tight when he got there, but he really didn't dare to hold on at the moment.
The person in front of me is a big boss in the circle, and he cannot be offended... neither of them can make the decision.
"You guys watch the movie first, and we'll talk in half an hour."
Lin Nan changed the subject and pointed to "The Breakup Master" that was being screened.
Hearing this, Yan Fei and Shen Teng began to look at it seriously.
If Lin Nan were asked to evaluate Deng Chao's "The Breakup Master", he would probably use four words: forced to be funny.
Through specific shapes, body movements, and even disgusting behaviors, the purpose of making people laugh temporarily is achieved.
This is the lowest level of comedy.
After a period of time, the audience will definitely forget the plot, and will only remember some shots and clips.
A good comedy has a plot and story first, with unique characters, performances and lines, and it is best to have a little meaning.
Half an hour later, Lin Nan looked at Yan Fei and Shen Teng, who seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.
“How was this movie?”
"Okay, okay."
"Yeah, okay."
The answers given by the two made Lin Nan want to laugh, but he did not refute.
“If you make a comedy, can you achieve this effect?”
“You should try it.”
"I don't know, I'm just an actor."
Lin Nan nodded and asked, "Has your company ever thought about making a movie?"
"Yes, it must have been. . But when I thought about the huge investment in making a movie, if one movie was lost, the company might have to break up, so I didn’t think about it.” At the time, the rules and regulations were clearly laid out.
“You can take what I said today back home. If you really want to make a movie but lack funds and connections, you can come to me.”
Lin Nan said with a smile, and then stood up.
"Okay, I'll go to another screening room and see you later."
"Director Lin, walk slowly."
"Director Lin, I'll see you off ?”
Looking at Lin Nan walking out of the screening room door, the two looked at each other.
"Old Yan, do you want to talk to the boss?" Shen Teng suddenly became playful and smiling.
"I, how do I know. I am just a director of sketches and dramas..."
"Just tell me whether you and Lao Peng want to be film directors? Anyway, I long for the big screen. It's not just a guest appearance...Besides, we, a big group of people, can't keep doing this."
Shen Teng said carelessly.
Yan Fei hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Say, tell the boss when you get back. As for what to do, it depends on him as the boss."
"Okay, let's do it. Haha..."
