Chapter 649 In my opinion, Lin Nan is the most suitable
In two weeks, "Transformers 4" received a super high box office of 1.57 billion, and the daily box office performance is still very strong.
"Ip Man 3" and "The Breakup Master" firmly occupy the second and third places, earning 567 million and 500 million respectively.
Everyone in the industry is lamenting that a Hollywood science fiction film can easily beat two domestic high-box office movies of the same period.
Thinking back to the fact that during the Lunar New Year holiday, everyone will be greeted by another science fiction masterpiece - Nolan's "Interstellar", the film industry is even more troubled!
This year’s mainland film market is hard to describe.
Except for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" which kept the reputation of domestic films, all the big players in the market were given over to imported films.
Everyone once again misses the days when Han Sanping was still there. The days when there was a mountain sculpture were good days.
However, many people in the industry also noticed the originally inconspicuous "Old Boy: The Dragon Crosses the River".
Although it has only been released for one day, the film's reputation has been very good.
At the box office, it also seemed to be another dark horse, with a score of 22.68 million on the first day, making the industry shine.
"So, apart from the performance department, other majors can always surprise people. This is another art department, who can direct, act and sing!"
Lin Nan watched Looking at Xiao Yang's resume, he joked.
"Director Lin, the funds for "The Secret of the Dragon" have been deposited into special accounts by those three companies.
In addition, the Golden Horse is asking again. The Hundred Flowers Award has also sent an invitation. , I would like to invite you to attend the awards party.”
After hearing the next two words from Yue Jun, Lin Nan slowly raised his head, with a helpless expression.
The higher your achievements and status in the circle, the more trivial things you have to do, which is very troublesome.
"There is no movie this year, and there is no need to repay the favor. The Golden Horse can just decline it for me. As for Baihua, alas, I really can't be interested."
To be honest, Lin Nan had no problem with Baihua. After all, he won the award when he went to Baihua for the first time.
But in the past five or six years, the reputation of the Hundred Flowers Award is really difficult to say. It has become as mysterious as the Golden Rooster.
Either the award results coincide with 90% of what netizens predicted, without any suspense, and they do not distinguish between good and bad works, which seems careless;
Or they copy the results of the Golden Rooster award of the previous year and select those that entered the theaters. Awards for films were given in a perfunctory manner;
There is also the last and most criticized issue: Baihua is suspected of being pre-publicized and manipulated in secret!
After several years, the Hundred Flowers Award has been nicknamed by film and television circles, called: Huayi’s Hundred Flowers Award.
"Lu Yang and Guo Fan should go, I'll forget it. Let them have fun and treat it as a trip to the northwest."
After thinking about it, Lin Nan still refused. "By the way, have all the actors of "The Secret of the Dragon" been notified?"
"I'm about to inform you that we will join the cast in three days and officially start filming in four days."
"Okay, you Go get busy."
Looking at Yue Jun leaving, Lin Nan remembered Jiang Wen's instructions yesterday and couldn't help but want to laugh.
The guy actually asked him to tell the crew to take care of "Sister Liu" during filming. After all, she is an elderly person.
But just now, Lin Nan was on Weibo and saw the promotional photos of the new drama sent by Liu Xiaoqing.
She wears two braids and carries a shoulder bag. She looks like a girl. How can she be sixty-two years old? He is obviously twenty-six years old!
"Haha..., it really made me laugh to death."
The more Lin Nan thought about it, the funnier it became, goosebumps appeared on his skin, and he was so scared.

At noon, the film and television industry and the media were all discussing Ma Yun's remarks at the Alibaba Pictures press conference.
Now Alibaba is a star company, and Lao Ma is a "god"! Therefore, his speech can arouse the emotions of ordinary people.
“At present, there are big problems in the domestic film and television cultural industry: that is, if you have money but no brains, your pockets are full but your brains are empty.
If the cultural industry cannot start, we are A nouveau riche. So Alibaba Pictures will learn from Naifei and "House of Cards".
We will create film and television works according to the audience's preferences, and the audience can even lead the direction of the work. Only in this way can the film and television culture be improved. There is new vitality in the industry..."
In addition to "exposing" the shortcomings of the current film and television industry and promoting Alibaba's film and television thinking, Lao Ma also publicly announced:
I hope that capable screenwriters and talented newcomers will join Alibaba Pictures and together they will become the foundation of a new era in the film and television industry. People and pioneers.
Many old people in the traditional film and television industry sneer at Lao Ma's tactics. Last month Zhang Qiang said that Alibaba will not need professional talents in the future.
Why are you joining Alibaba Pictures now? To dig your own grave?
Lin Nan flipped through the news. He never believed Ma Yun's words. This person had too many tricks. But it is undeniable that the latter’s current appeal is also inexplicable.
Not long after I finished my speech in the morning, the stock price began to skyrocket, and countless investors jumped into the trap, as if they had finally made the right bet.
Lin Nan estimated that Ali should be starting to sharpen his knife.
Liu Yifei was typing on the keyboard beside her, replying to emails.
"Starting from the beginning of October at the latest, I will participate in promotional activities with the crew of "Interstellar", and a press conference will be held in China in early November."
Finish the last sentence After clicking send, Miss Liu stretched herself and said sweetly to Lin Nan, her smile was very healing.
In her mind, the second most important thing this year is "Interstellar".
"Early November? Well, it's quite appropriate. There should be a red carpet then." Lin Nan nodded and said.
Warner must be very aggressive in promoting this kind of sci-fi blockbuster, not to mention that the mainland is the second largest film market in the world.
While talking to Liu Yifei about how to support her, Lin Nan's phone vibrated.
“Director Wang’s phone call is really irregular.”
"Hurry up, it should be business." Miss Liu reminded, and then went to the kitchen.
"Director Wang, it's almost dinner time, would you like to treat me to dinner?" "Oh, yes. You can take Yifei and go out now." Wang Changtian said jokingly.
“Let’s have the next meal. I’ll have dinner soon. If there’s anything that happens, Director Wang will tell you quickly.”
“Okay, let’s get down to business. .Xu Zheng's "囧" has been reviewed, and we are planning to start the project, cast, and start filming
Send someone to supplement the contract. I feel uncomfortable when I think that you accounted for 20% of the box office share, which is not 20% of the divisible box office! "
Wang Changtian joked and spoke his mind.
Lin Nan didn't take it seriously, "Let's do it in the afternoon, I'll send someone to the light. "
"Well, no problem. One more thing, Guangguang is planning to make another youth film. If you are interested, you can ask. ”
Sure enough, I have tasted the sweetness of youth movies. The last movie "My Deskmate" has only been released for two months, and now a new youth movie is about to be released.
"Let me hear it, what project is Guangguang planning to start? Is it an adaptation of a novel?" Lin Nan asked in a dignified manner.
"Well, the very popular youth novel "The Left Ear". The director has also been decided, Su Youpeng, and we are preparing to choose the person."
Lin Nan remembers Guangguang's "Actor-New Director Project" ", it seems that there is Su Youpeng.
"Forget it. I'm not interested in youth movies. I wish the movie Guangguang will be a big seller."
"What about the actors? Are there any fortresses?"
"The only person in our company who is suitable in terms of age to act in a youth film is Reba, what do you think, Director Wang."
"I understand, "The Secret of the Dragon" is more important, haha."

Without Donnie Yen's "Ip Man 3", the box office is not affected at all, it is still very good.
This once again reminds actors in the film and television industry that as long as the quality of a work is good, no actor is irreplaceable.
Especially those action actors who don't rely much on their acting skills. There will never be a shortage of people in the industry who can fight better than you! The same goes for vase actors. There is never a shortage of better-looking actors in the industry.
Two weeks after its release, "Ip Man 3" has also done well at the box office in Hong Kong Island, which has led to Donnie Yen being criticized by all kinds of criticism.
The old man from Hong Kong who once helped him speak has become silent now.
Because Yinghuang is determined to follow the Mainland, even the movies that the group participates in have blacklisted Donnie Yen by default.
I want to ask him if he regrets asking for a salary of 30 million yuan in the first place? Donnie Yen must regret it.
For one thirty million, he lost a lot of thirty million, and even fell down the line.
At this time, the manager hurried over from outside, looked at Donnie Yen who looked not very good, and said excitedly:
"Ignore that "Ip Man 3" thing , forget about the ridicule outside, the opportunity has come."
Hearing this, Zhen Zidan immediately came back to his senses, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked: "What opportunity?"
"Your call just failed to get through. Mr. Yuan Ba has promised to give you a chance. Follow me now and go see him immediately."
"Master Yuan Ba? Is it that one?"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Zhen Zidan was so excited that he walked out without saying a word.
……
China Film, Chairman’s Office.
La Peikang was still thinking about what happened yesterday. After the initial conversation, he realized that it was indeed a big production.
And the intention there is very clear, they can provide most of the funds to make a real co-production blockbuster with China Film!
"Gathering top casts from both sides, the most distinctive Chinese elements to date, global distribution and public release..."
La Peikang became more and more excited as he murmured, and he understood Han Sanping more and more. Okay, this feeling is really good!
Where do political achievements come from? Ordinary commercial films will not do.
Political achievements must come from co-production films, main themes, gift films, and pioneering films!
"La Dong, didn't they say that the script is still being worked on, so there shouldn't be any rush."
"Well, there is no rush. It is expected to be completed by the end of September or early October. By then Let’s talk about the specific content.
I’m thinking about the director right now. Who in China can take over this job?”
As La Peikang spoke, he glanced at his secretary. The domestic film market is becoming more and more prosperous, and Hollywood is also taking the initiative to make concessions in order to cooperate.
"There are only so many great directors in China."
La Peikang nodded. The secretary was right, there are only that many. He vaguely had someone in mind.
"What do you think of Lin Nan? Although he is young, he is the box office record holder for domestic movies. He was the first mainland director to reach the $200 million box office club in the North American film market. He is also very popular in Hollywood. He is famous and has many friends.”
The secretary smiled and said nothing. La Peikang’s tone did not mean a question, but a statement, which could also be said to be an affirmation.
“La Dong, don’t you already have a candidate in mind?”
"Hahaha, indeed. In my opinion, Lin Nan is the most suitable!"
La Peikang smiled and nodded without denying it.
"For more details, let's wait until the end of September or the beginning of October. They will come over then and you can have an interview with Lin Nan. For now, let's keep it a secret so that we don't have to worry about it."< br>
“I understand, La Dong. I will give the order.”
