Chapter 627: Publicity and Preparation
I remember that in April 2010, Wu Ershan voluntarily signed a contract in order to get the director rights of "Painted Skin 2".
In the contract, he promised that he could make several more films for Lin Nan Films according to the director's remuneration for "Painted Skin 2" in the future, and ensure the quality.
Isn’t it just right to use the "Dragon Seeking Technique" right now?
Lin Nan didn't like the script, and it was impossible for him to lower his status to make such a movie.
Lu Yang was busy with "Xiu Chun Dao 2" again, and Guo Fan was not interested at all.
Now that I think about it, it can only be a bad thing.
"Contact Director Wu Ershan and ask him to come to the company."
Lin Nan stood at the door of the office and ordered his assistant.
“Okay, Director Lin.”
...
In the movie market, "X-Men: Days of Future Past" is incredibly strong, with a box office of 250 million in the first three days of its opening weekend.
The entire production industry was shocked. Everyone was aggrieved and powerless, so they could only stare.
Lin Nan's "The Invisible Guest" can still maintain a daily box office of around 20 million thanks to its luxurious creative lineup and the quality of the plot.
But Zhang Yimou's "Return" is a bit miserable. No matter how heart-warming the emotional drama is, it can't compete with the special effects blockbuster.
This has just entered its second week, and the movie's daily revenue has been pushed to over 10 million. If nothing else, the box office expectations will also be greatly reduced.
Now it seems that the two schedules of May and June really leave no room for other domestic films to survive.
On the market, there are either movies by big directors or imported Hollywood blockbusters.
In view of this, Xiying's "The Record of Swordsmanship" was urgently changed and was withdrawn from June and moved to August.
In the eyes of many insiders, this decision is very wise.
But everyone may have forgotten another sentence, you can hide for a while, but you cannot hide for a lifetime!
""The Record of Swordsmanship"?"
Lin Nan looked at the promotional clip sent by Xiying. This movie is too real, and the shooting techniques are even a bit advanced.
This means that it may take a long time to ferment to prove that it is a good movie.
“Well, Zheng Kai? It seems that it is also a studio now.
Tsk tsk, the 'de-simplification of movies' is really crazy. It actually disbanded the direct artist management business, which was the foundation..."
For people like Huayi, it is not just to concentrate on production Lin Nan sneered at the director's approach of disbanding the artist management business directly under the film. It was too arrogant.
...
The news that "The Secret of the Dragon" was sent to the film bureau will not be released until later. The announcement results have been circulated in the film and television circles and the media.
The reason is that the novel is too popular.
"According to industry insiders, Lin Nan Pictures has recently submitted the movie script "The Secret of the Dragon" for review."
"It is reported that "The Secret of the Dragon" is adapted from the famous online novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". The background is the second half of the novel..."
"In a telephone interview, Lin Nan Film Director Yue Jun responded that this is true
Currently, the script is still under review and the director is selected. Undecided, actors undecided, filming time undecided..."
A series of news has made the Internet abuzz.
Not long ago, countless netizens voted one by one.
Putting "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" to the top of the online questionnaire "Which online novels are you most looking forward to being adapted into film and television works?"
Is it going to be made into a movie now? Happiness seemed to come too suddenly, making netizens excited for a moment!
The Internet is busy, and the film and television industry is not idle either.
Film and television companies, brokerage companies, actors, and agents in the industry paid attention immediately.
The huge fan base, high popularity and topic volume of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" undoubtedly illustrate one problem, which is the top resource.
And this novel is different from the mindless novel "Little Times".
"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is famous for its magnificent imagination, thrilling and fascinating storyline, and grand and novel background settings. It has a very good reputation!
"It seems that Director Lin will not be the director of "The Secret of the Dragon"."
"This is for sure. With Director Lin's status, if he makes such a movie, then It’s so out of class!”
"I wonder how the casting is arranged?"
"If this novel is made into a movie, it will bring in at least 500 million box office, just a lot more."
......
On the way to Nortel, Lin Nan also received many calls from acquaintances in the industry.
No one is stupid, they all know that "The Secret of the Dragon" is a good resource, and the protagonist team is very eye-catching!
"Director Jiang, Director Jiang, I understand when people call. What are you doing on the phone?
It's useless to focus on the character right now. Before the script is reviewed, it's useless to say anything. "
As soon as Lin Nan finished complaining, Jiang Wen's "unreasonable" voice came from the Bluetooth headset.
"Don't say such silly things to me, and remember to say hello during the casting."
Lin Nan immediately joked: "I thought it was impossible for you to play the role. This kind of movie. Who asked? Senior Sister Zhou Yun or Senior Brother Jiang Wu?”
He was guessing which one Jiang Wen would say, but when he heard the answer, Lin Nan was stunned and speechless.
After a few seconds, he smiled and nodded: "Okay, I remember there seems to be a suitable one."
"Then it's settled, see you later."< br>
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan couldn't help teasing, "One by one, the old love of Chen Zhizhi and rotten millet has given in."
Lin Nan returned to Nortel today, mainly about his professional title and For the preparation, take photos, fill in the information, go through the procedures, and the school will take care of the rest.
As the car drove into the school, graduates wearing bachelor's uniforms could be seen here and there, taking photos.
The graduation ceremony for grade 10 is in early June.
After parking the car, Lin Nan thought about going to the directing department first and saying hello to Tian Zhuangzhuang and Lao Jiang. After all, he was from the directing department.
Nortel is not a big company, but a multi-million dollar Mercedes-Benz drove in and really attracted the attention of many people.
When they saw that the person getting out of the car was Lin Nan, the eyes of the group of graduates instantly lit up. Lin Nan glanced at it and felt a little emotional.
When Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan, who were in Grade 10, entered school, they were the hot topics of media reports. Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and they have graduated.
"What a coincidence today, I actually saw Director Lin at school."
Following the sound, Lin Nan also saw three figures not far away in another direction. Huang Lei and Sun Li were walking with a little girl.
"It's a coincidence. I heard that Mr. Huang accepted the invitation from Mango Channel to participate in the second season of "Where Are We Going, Dad?"
"Haha, that's right. It was recorded just last month and will be broadcast next month."
Speaking of this incident, Huang Lei was quite happy, probably because he got a lot of remuneration.
"Director Lin." Sun Li greeted.
"Duoduo, call me brother." Huang Lei was a good man and told his daughter.
The eight-year-old girl reacted quickly and with a precocious energy, she wanted to call someone immediately.
Lin Nan hurriedly shook his head and interrupted with a smile: "No, you should call me uncle. Although my birthday is only in the second half of the year, I am still 30 years old."
The little girl looked up with questioning eyes Look towards Huang Lei.
"Okay, let's call him uncle."
After Huang Lei nodded, his daughter called Lin Nan with confidence.
After chatting for two minutes, Lin Nan was about to leave. Huang Lei said a lot of polite words when he left.
When he entered the directing department, the scene just now was still in his mind.
It seems that Huang Lei wants his daughter to join the film and television industry. This is almost considered training since childhood!
But looking at Huang Lei's behavior, he really looks a bit like the head of the family under the feudal system. His wife is submissive and his daughter...
Lao Jiang accompanied Lin Nan to the Vice-President. In a long office, special people enjoy special treatment.
In the same room, there were people helping from taking photos to filling in various forms, which made Lin Nan very worry-free.
In half an hour, all the procedures were completed.
“It will take about 3 months to complete the process, and it is just a process.
If nothing unexpected happens, your information will be published on the school’s official website when school starts in the second half of the year Come on."
Hearing this, Lin Nan was still a little dazed, "Well, I know, it's pretty fast."
......
"Co-produced by Lin Nan Pictures and Noon Sunshine, directed by Kong Sheng and produced by Hou Hongliang, the large-scale costume drama "Nirvana in Fire" was officially completed today at Hengdian Film and Television City."
"Starred by Hu Ge and Yan Starring Ni, the urban inspirational love drama "Life Apocalypse" has been on air for one week, and the ratings continue to rise..."
While having lunch at home, Lin Nan received a call from Jiang Yanrou. Over in Hengdian, "Nirvana in Fire" 》The closing banquet was officially held.
This TV series, which has been filmed for 4 months, is finally over.
"Are you busy this afternoon?"
While Liu Yifei was asking questions, she took the last piece of beef from Lin Nan's bowl. Everything seemed so natural.
"It's optional. Is there anything I can do for you?" Lin Nan asked with a chuckle.
"No need, you have already done your service, hehe."
Seeing Liu Yifei smiling and looking successful, Lin Nan understood.
Emotions are all about making excuses, and the target at the beginning is the meat in his bowl!
"You."
"By the way, many people came to me today to ask about "The Secret of the Dragon". Even Li Bingbing and the others were asking."
Liu Yifei bit Holding the chopsticks, she glared at Lin Nan with her big eyes.
Lin Nan nodded, which was not surprising to him.
In the background setting of "The Secret of the Dragon", several of the protagonists are middle-aged and older, so it's easy for the big ladies to look at the female lead and figure it out.
This movie is enough to make their commercial film resumes even more dazzling.
"Still the same, push it to my side. However, I am going to let Reba play the second female lead, and the acting requirements are not high."
"Really, then I I have to talk to her and ask her to go shopping with me in the afternoon."
Liu Yifei immediately became energetic, and Reba happened to be living in the capital now.
“As you wish.”
...
At around two o'clock, the assistant called Lin Nan and said that the person was arriving soon.
After greeting Liu Yifei, he went to the company.
When Lin Nan arrived at the office, Wu Ershan had been waiting for twenty minutes.
“What have you been busy with lately?”
"I'm not particularly busy. Apart from the commercial film business, I'm also thinking about it myself.
A few days ago, I came up with the idea of benchmarking Hollywood and making big productions. I can start from traditional mythology. Get it. Haha, I think this idea is unrealistic..."
Lin Nan didn't care about Wu Ershan's words, he was not interested in these, and the filming of "Journey to the West" was all bad.
After sitting on the chair, he went straight to the point:
"We had a contract when we were working on "Painted Skin 2". A few days ago, the company sent "The Secret of the Dragon" for review Yes, you know, right?”
"I heard, Director Lin called me here, is it because of this movie?"
Lin Nan nodded, "Yes, Lu Yang is filming "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield", Guo Ban and I’m not interested in this kind of subject. It just so happens that your style is more suitable..."
