Chapter 632 Fixed Role, Golden Ball and Oscar, Yang Mi’s Proposal
In the industry, scandalous things happen or are exposed every day.
Yu Fatty, who made a high-profile appearance at the final press conference of "We Will Never Die" yesterday, was sued by his ex-wife this morning.
The latter used a eloquent condemnation article to cleanse Fatty from beginning to end, from the inside out.
In the long post on Weibo:
From the man starting out as a free man to having an affair during marriage, to the woman being harassed and provoked by mistresses in the circle during pregnancy, until she was forced to give up the founder's equity and get divorced.
Even several years after the divorce, the woman’s experience of still not receiving any promised compensation and support for her two children was written in detail.
There was an uproar on the Internet, with a large number of netizens filled with indignation and condemnation and abuse.
The chairman of a listed company in the film and television industry is actually this kind of thing, which is really disgusting!
On the contrary, the entertainment industry is very quiet, and everyone is silent.
Because everyone knows that what Fatty Yu's ex-wife said is basically true.
She even left some feelings behind, to put it mildly, probably out of consideration for the feelings of the children.
“Although they refuse to respond, the popularity of this matter is constantly decreasing in major news media and social platforms. The tactics are powerful!”
“Capital can control public opinion. This is just to suppress public opinion.
No one will take the initiative to offend Fatty and give him eye drops. On the contrary, they can benefit from Fatty Yu."
Lin Nan felt this and expressed disdain. Just watch the excitement of other people's housework.
"Huang Xiaoming, Xia Yu and Liu Xiaoqing, are their contracts ready?"
Yue Jun nodded and smiled: "They are all ready. This time Director Jiang Wen owes He gave us a favor, hahaha.”
“In one movie, he inserted two people, and they were both main actors. He must be returned next time.”
Lin. Nan couldn't help but joke that Jiang Wen's character was like this.
The more he treats you as a friend, the more "excessive" demands he can make. Anyway, he will never be alienated from you at all.
This kind of relationship between friends exudes a manly spirit.
When something happens, he can help you handle it; when something happens, he is really looking for trouble. The main thing is to go straight and don’t make any detours!
There was a knock on the door, and the assistant stood at the door: "Director Lin, Director Yue, Teacher Huang Bo and Teacher Zeng Li are here."
"No need to go to the third floor, please come here Come.”
"Well, okay."
Lin Nan looked at the watch on his left hand. It was neither early nor late, half an hour ahead of the scheduled time.
"I'm going to Tiangong Color first." Yue Jun said hello and left.
When Zeng Li and Huang Bo met downstairs, they started chatting. Both of them realized that they would partner with each other in "The Secret of the Dragon".
Huang Bo not only has high emotional intelligence, but is also eloquent. In just a few minutes, he had already praised Zeng Li until she beamed.
Lin Nan looked at the two people who were brought in who were chatting and laughing, and was still a little confused. Because in his memory, these two people should not be familiar with each other!
But after a moment, he realized that the Huang Bo in front of him was an old man, the kind who could get Lin Zhiling into trouble in just one play.
"Director Lin."
"Director Lin."
Wearing a cyan casual outfit, Zeng Li looks taller. She is about the same height as Liu Yifei.
Huang Bo next to him is much inferior in appearance.
"Sit down. Long time no see, Senior Sister Zeng Li."
"Long time no see, Director Lin." Zeng Li said with a smile.
How would you rate Zeng Li?
In appearance, she gives the impression that she is heroic, tough and beautiful. After all, she has the frame of a big Tsing Yi.
But her personality is completely opposite to her appearance. She is too soft and not bold enough.
“Hey, Director Lin, there’s me too. Such a big, living person in front of you.” Huang Bo joked.
"We just had dinner at Ning Hao's place not long ago." Lin Nan said angrily.
Ignoring the smiling Huang Bo, Lin Nan got to the point.
"Currently, we are not sure when "The Secret of the Dragon" will be released. Maybe it will be July, maybe August. Can you wait?"
"I have no problem, Director Lin." Zeng Li nodded and said first.
Lin Nan looked at her and emphasized:
"Senior Sister Zeng Li, the character of Yang Xueli in "The Secret of the Dragon" is bold and generous, which is a bit different from you. When the time comes, you You have to pay attention."
"Don't worry, Director Lin, I am also a professional actor, so I can still act.
The other classmates are very good. I have a good reputation, but that doesn’t mean I’m bad.”
Zeng Li's tone suddenly became a little "harder", and it sounded like that!
"I'm sure there's no problem with that. If any actor in the industry pushes a film from Lin Nan Pictures, it's just because of a bad mind. Haha..."
Huang Bo finished speaking , and asked curiously: "Director Lin, can you reveal who the other actors are? I promise to keep it secret."
"I don't need you to keep it secret, it will be announced in the next two days.
< br>Huang Xiaoming, you and Senior Sister Zeng Li, Xia Yu, Reba, and Teacher Liu Xiaoqing are the only six of you.”
Hearing the detailed list, Zeng Li and Huang Bo both paused.
“Tsk, tsk, this lineup is so strong, how can it not exceed one billion in box office?” Huang Bo is not modest at all.
"Then I can chat with Quan'er later." Zeng Li smiled.
While these two people were in the company, Lin Nan asked his assistant to bring the contract over.
Originally, I asked them to take it back to have a look first, but they signed it on the spot.
That's right, Huang Bo runs his own company and is the boss. Although Zeng Li has a staff, he also has his own studio and can also make decisions.
Half an hour later, the two left Lin Nan Pictures with the contract and script.
The paparazzi downstairs were excited:
"The agent and assistant didn't follow, so they came down with their document bags? This scene looks a bit familiar."
"I guarantee with my head that it must be a contract or a script."
"Is there nothing else besides "The Secret of the Dragon"? Lin Nan Pictures is not responsible for the casting of "Charlotte Trouble"!"
......
At noon , reports and photos on Weibo and media have spread and firmly occupied the headlines.
“After director Wu Ershan, Huang Bo and Zeng Li appeared at Lin Nan Pictures and left with their document bags more than an hour later.” 》There may not be an open casting call, the casting has even been finalized”
"In the information filed with the Film Bureau, there is no other information about "The Secret of the Dragon" except the producer information."
Many agencies and actors in the film and television industry were suddenly anxious.
Everyone has been waiting for the casting news from Lin Nan Pictures. In the past, every movie casting announcement would be made public.
Netizens were impatient and rushed to Lin Nan Pictures’ Weibo to ask questions.
Even the private Weibo posts of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were blocked. Many people also went to the Weibo posts of Huang Bo, Zeng Li and others to inquire.
"The budget for "The Secret of the Dragon" has not been made yet, but it should be within the next two days."
As soon as Lin Nan arrived home and parked the car, calls from China Film, Wanda and Enlight came in one by one. , obviously seeing entertainment news on the Internet.
"The main actors have indeed been selected, and everything else is simple. Forget it, I will have someone announce it in a moment.
The flying guests for the first season have also been decided in advance, or the time has been calculated , accept some cast members to come to participate in the show and promote it..."
Although the recording of "Running Man" has not started yet, the broadcast time of the first episode has been planned, and it will be in October.
Lin Nan ran to find Liu Yifei as a habit. After entering the villa, she realized that Miss Liu had an announcement today and would not be at home at noon. The mother-in-law-to-be is not in the capital either, and has gone back to her hometown.
"It seems that I have to spend noon with you today." Lin Nan picked up a cat and returned to his side.
......
In the afternoon, the news updated on the official website and Weibo of Lin Nan Pictures completely gave up many people in the film and television industry.
“The team formation for the suspense adventure film “Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Secret of the Dragon,” adapted from the famous online novel “Ghost Blowing the Lantern”, has been completed.”
"The movie "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Searching for the Dragon" is jointly produced by Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, Enlight, and Wanda, and is produced by Lin Nan Pictures.
It will be directed by director Wu Ershan, and will be directed by Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Starring Zeng Li, Xia Yu, Reba, Liu Xiaoqing and others, the specific start time is to be determined.”
Following this, China Film, Enlight and Wanda reposted the same announcement on Weibo at almost the same time.
A much-anticipated and anticipated movie, this is really a project waiting to be launched!
On the Internet, countless netizens, book lovers and fans are as happy as the Chinese New Year.
Because whether it is Lin Nan Pictures and other four producers, or this group of starring and creative actors, they are almost all top-notch.
Although many people have their own opinions on the casting and feel that this one is good and that one is inappropriate, most people hold an attitude of expectation and support.
After all, this is "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp". It is better to let Lin Nan Pictures, which has a guaranteed reputation, to film it than to let other companies mess around.
And everyone knows that it is impossible to completely reproduce the content of the novel.
Only Lin Nan Pictures and China Film Group have the ability and strength to retain as much of the original plot as possible!
"The second female lead, she is really a good resource all the way."
Jiaxing, Yang Mi looked at Reba in the announced list of actors and said with some emotion.
The fans of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" are not comparable to those of "Tiny Times". The former can be regarded as killing all over the Internet.
Gao Weiguang, Zhang Yunlong, Li Xirui, Liu Ruilin and other newcomers in the company who had just signed contracts all looked at Yang Mi, the eldest sister and one of the bosses, and they did not dare to say anything.
Everyone knows that the two bosses of their company have spent three years at Shanhai Media, which is owned by Lin Nan Films.
"We went on to say that the company will invest in the production of some TV series, giving priority to you. I will also tie you up as much as possible when I take on external scenes, including some public events and red carpets..."
Yang Mi After coming back to his senses, he continued to talk to the newcomers about the company's future plans, and imparted some experiences he had learned in the industry over the years and things to pay attention to.
Ten minutes later, Zeng Jia came over.
"Mimi, there will be a promotional event for "The Breakup Master" tomorrow morning, don't forget it.
Also, you asked me to help you inquire about the casting of Happy Twist, I will inquire about it. Come on, she’s the second female lead, not very good.
Although this was voted by the owner of Lin Nan Film, I think the second female lead is really not worthy of your role. Moreover, Happy Mahua is a small company with no film production experience at all, and their leading actors combined are not as famous as you, so don’t even think about it..."
Listening to Zeng Jia’s undoubted statement, Yang Mi hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
She simply thought that the movie Lin Nan invested must be good, so she took the initiative to ask Zeng Jia to inquire about it.
" Since this is the case, forget it. "
"Well, that's how it should be. ”
…………
In the film market, the waves behind push the waves ahead.
"Director Lin Nan's "The Invisible Guest" has been in theaters for 20 days, with a total box office of 451 million. The daily box office is less than 100,000, and may be discontinued."
"By Gong Starring Li, Chen Daoming, and Zhang Huiwen, the movie "The Return" was successfully released, with a revenue of 295 million yuan, setting a new box office record for an artistic film directed by Zhang Yimou!"
""X-Men: Days of Future Past" has been released for two years! Weekly, the total box office revenue was 700 million, unparalleled. ”
...
Looking at the reports in the media, Lin Nan still felt a little regretful.
After all, "The Invisible Guest" failed to complete its one-month release period and lost its box office potential in twenty days.
Lin Nan thought about his award-winning and artistic films, and it seemed that the one with the best results was still "The Fault in Our Stars" between him and Liu Yifei. Not only did it complete its one-month release period, but it also achieved a box office record of 488 million yuan for a domestic literary film, which has not yet been broken.
"Lin Nan, Tom's phone number." Liu Yifei's voice came from the villa.
Lin Nan got up from the swing chair in the garden, picked up the tablet and walked back.
Miss Liu rarely got up early today, it was just before ten in the morning.
She was wearing pajamas, with a purple headband binding her dark hair. She was lazily leaning on the sofa and applying a facial mask, extremely leisurely.
“Here, hurry up, it’s been ringing for a while, I have both hands occupied.”
"I'm occupying it. I'm applying the mask while eating snacks and watching cartoons. You're so beautiful."
Lin Nan joked, and Liu Yifei lightly stuck out her pink tongue and laughed heartlessly.
He answered the phone: "At this time, shouldn't you be getting ready to attend some reception or party, Tom?"
Over in Hollywood, it should be about seven o'clock in the evening. That's why Lin Nan was so swearing.
"Lin, you know me, I'm going to attend a dinner party at Legendary Pictures in a while. But before that, I have to report the progress of my work to you."
"Say it, I'll listen too."
Before Lin Nan could speak, Liu Yifei interrupted from the side.
I heard Tom instantly transform into the "Tom Cat" who saw his master, and his voice was filled with disgust.
"Dear Crystal, your voice sounds better, definitely more beautiful..."
"Haha...Tom, you really know how to speak."
Liu Yifei smiled brightly and looked like a silly person.
“Let’s get down to business, you sycophant.”
Lin Nan urged angrily, can’t this guy figure out who the boss is? He actually left him alone!
"Lin, Crystal is asking questions, I have to answer. The ancient oriental culture says it well, it is better to please the boss than to please the boss's wife..."
"I suggest you find a Chinese teacher. The more I learn, the more I learn the essence.”
As he spoke, Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh.
“I learned it wrongly, but how can I learn the essence again? Should I change to a personal trainer?”
As expected, Tom’s Chinese level is still not enough to understand the meaning of Lin Nan’s words. .
“You don’t need to change the teacher, I learned very well.” Liu Yifei added with a smile.
“Okay, let’s get down to business.”
"Lin, Crystal. The company plans to hold a week-long screening ceremony for "Manchester by the Sea" in five days. There will be one screening every morning and one in the afternoon..."
Lin Nan knew this was the case. , his second journey to the Olympics is about to begin.
Liu Yifei also listened quietly, this was related to Lin Nan's career.
"...and there are public relations matters."
When Tom said the last thing, his voice was a little low.
"Public relations? Is it a matter of expenses? What is the specific problem this time?"
"Lin, it's the same thing as last time. Do you want to sign up for the Oscars and Golden Globes at the same time?"
>"Tell me about the difference."
Lin Nan estimated that there might be two awards for public relations and one award for public relations, and the fees are different.
“Because you already have an Oscar-winning film, their offer was a little lower this year.”
"Say."
Lin Nan urged, Liu Yifei pricked up her ears and even turned off the cartoon.
“If they only publicize the Oscars like last year, their overall quotation is 15 million US dollars, and there is no need to add more later. If we want both the Golden Globe and the Oscar, it will be 20 million US dollars.”
“So expensive?!” Liu Yifei exclaimed.
“Crystal, it’s not expensive. Since Lin already has The Invisible Guest, the nomination is almost no big deal.
Last year for "The Invisible Guest", we spent US$15 million in the early stage, and an additional US$4 million later. Fortunately, the movie made all the money back. "Tom explained.
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan and stopped talking. Lin Nan never told her how much money he spent last year.
Although Lin Nan was mentally prepared before , but when he heard these two numbers, he still felt a little palpitated, just like Miss Liu sang "Heartpalpit"
"The salary that Leon and the others saved for me is all used here. Lin Nan murmured with a smile.
He glanced at Liu Yifei beside him. Those watery eyes were full of love and his courage.
"Golden Balls and Oscars, let's do PR." Lin Nan said decisively.
"I am also rich..." Liu Yifei tugged on the sleeves of the person next to her.
"Lin, are you sure?"
Lin Nan shook his head gently at Liu Yifei, with a doting smile on his face.
“I’m sure, PR Golden Globe and Oscar at the same time. Sign up for both, and apply for all major awards.”
"Okay, I'll go and talk to them tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone from Tom, Lin Nan also leaned on the sofa. He had to take his time.
"You are so decisive, twenty million US dollars, more than one hundred million."
Liu Yifei picked up the small cake with her slender white fingers and brought it to Lin Nan's mouth, with a worried tone in her voice .
“Ah woo.”
Lin Nan swallowed it in one gulp and waited until it was in his stomach more than ten seconds later before saying:
"It's okay. I'll just sell more Huayi shares next time and make up for it."
"Hahaha, where can you find an algorithm like yours?" Liu Yifei was amused and lightly punched Lin Nan.
......
Official officials, media, and film circles have begun to build momentum for the Magic City International Film Festival in a week.
In addition to a large number of Chinese and foreign stars and award ceremonies, the biggest gimmick of this Shanghai Film Festival is the "Internet-Film and Television Industry Summit".
As the chairman of the main competition unit jury, Gong Li also named Lin Nan when being interviewed by the media.
I hope that I will have the opportunity to work with the only Oscar-winning director from the Mainland in the future. In this way, Director Lin made headlines.
The next morning, Lin Nan went to attend the media conference of "The Breakup Master", but he did not accept an interview throughout.
The reason is that he is only an investor in this film and did not participate in the production. In addition, the quality of the film is also hard to describe.
However, Lin Nan noticed Zeng Jia. She was socializing with a group of contracted artists. They were all young people with unfamiliar faces and no reputation.
"Jiaxing is recruiting troops and starting to become bigger and stronger? Haha..."
When Zeng Jia led a group of people and walked towards Lin Nan, he turned around somewhere else. The former was left to pause awkwardly for a moment and then turned a corner.
"Director Lin, please."
"Director Lin, please."
Deng Chao led Sun Li over.
"Yes. As soon as the end of this month, "Running Man" can start recording. You are the captain, so you have to work harder." Lin Nan also raised his cup.
Deng Chao and his wife are both shrewd people. Sun Li immediately complimented:
"I need a lot of support from Director Lin. He is very envious of Xiao Ming being able to star in "The Secret of the Dragon"."
“Haha, I’m really envious, this is a commercial blockbuster.”
"Does everyone have their own fate?" Lin Nan said ambiguously.
After a while, everyone dispersed.
Faced with Yang Mi's greetings, Lin Nan smiled and chatted for a few words.
After all, everyone has a good relationship, and there is no conflict between the two, and Lin Nan even admires her a little.
Compared to when she was at Shanhai Media, Yang Mi has been working harder for more than a year. I heard that she is almost working continuously and is focusing on her career!
Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh when she saw a group of artists from Jiaxing calling Yang Mi "Sister Mi" from a distance. It was quite interesting.
......
"Mimi, if you and Director Lin can chat for a few words, I just wanted to go up...Oh, forget it." Zeng Jia looked sad.
“We have no grudges, why can’t we chat for a few words?”
Yang Mi glanced at it from a distance and remembered that when she saw Lin Nan at school, she often I recommended myself.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind and she looked at Zeng Jia.
"Jiajia, how have you been during this time?"
Zeng Jia understood what Yang Mi was asking.
“Those big companies and capital say that our current profit scale is still not close to the company’s size.
Even if we agree to invest, our appetite is still huge. We are too passive and suffer too much. Oh...huh? Why did you suddenly ask about this?”
Following Yang Mi's gaze, Zeng Jia looked over. In that direction, Lin Nan and Wang Changtian were talking, laughing and joking with each other.
“This is the circle of real industry giants.”
“What do you think about us asking Lin Nan Pictures for investment or financing? Not long ago, Director Lin didn’t Did you just invest in a small company?"
Hearing Yang Mi's words, Zeng Jia subconsciously shook his head and his face darkened.
"It's still early, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, and Director Lin may not necessarily like us..."
Looking at Zeng Jia's appearance, Yang Mi was a little puzzled:
"Didn't you say that you would contact those big companies and capital parties in advance to prepare for future investment and financing? These days, you also I'm doing this."
"Let's talk about it later."
Zeng Jia squinted her eyes and looked away, speaking perfunctorily.
The investor she wants is a pure investor, not a giant in the film and television industry like Lin Nan Pictures, maybe...
"Okay, I'll listen to you, we'll talk about it later. But I still think my idea is a good one." Yang Mi said casually without thinking more about it.
......
Lin Nan was chatting with Wang Changtian about "Running Man".
"Zhang Jin's title as a martial arts-level action actor should be enough, and there is no need to completely match his body shape. If everything is the same, he might as well just watch "Running Man".
According to the script, there is absolutely no problem. What is a reality show? It is half 'real' and half 'show', and then the 'person' acts in the middle."
What Wang Changtian said was so reasonable that Lin Nan couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"Variety shows are indeed the core business of Guangguang. Director Wang summed it up incisively! I admire you!"
"Haha, you're welcome, we are all our own people."
Wang Changtian accepted Lin Nan's flattery without humility.
"Then choose a time, gather everyone together, and let's meet. By the way, let's set a recording time for the first episode of the first season. "Running Man" is ready to start!"
"Well, okay."
