Chapter 664 Cao Baoping’s new movie
The news video of Zhang Guoli bowing 90 degrees and apologizing in tears in front of the media camera has been circulated.
This time he did not beg the industry and the public to forgive and give him another chance as he did two and a half years ago. He simply admitted his mistake and accepted punishment.
Even "ones" such as Feng Xiaogang only expressed regret and did not make any further remarks.
Everyone in the industry could see that Lao Zhang was exhausted, grieving and despairing, and had completely given up hope for his son.
The headlines of film and television entertainment news were changed just one day apart, which was very abrupt.
The gossipy news about Xu Jinglei and Wu Yifan reported by the paparazzi quickly reached the top and successfully attracted the attention of most people.
Countless fans denounced Xu Cairen, saying that she is shameless because she eats young grass.
A few people posted this, firmly believing that this was a hype for the upcoming "There's a Place Only We Know".
But what the specific situation is, it is estimated that only the person involved knows, maybe it is both?
"Oh, I have to prepare another share of the money." Lin Nan looked at the news on Weibo and joked with a smile.
Zhou Xun is worthy of being Mr. Zhou, he does things neatly and neatly.
I don’t hide things like testifying at all. I participate in public events and speak out directly when I feel good.
A group of reporters were shocked, and then they hurriedly asked Zhou Xun again and again to confirm whether he was joking.
They obviously didn’t ask this question, so how could there be any unexpected gains? What a rare surprise!
After leaving messages of congratulations along with the other people in the circle, Lin Nan suddenly realized something. It seems that there are quite a lot of beautiful women getting married and getting certificates this year.
There are already three of them: Gao Yuanyuan, Tang Wei, and Zhou Xun!
Looking at the time, Lin Nan was about to leave the company and go to Bad Monkey.
The promotional event for "Heart Blossoms on the Road" is scheduled to start at three o'clock in the afternoon at the Nortel Auditorium, but preparations must be made in advance.
Since you asked Lin Nan to help with the platform, you should at least take care of lunch, right?
Who would have thought that as soon as he walked into the elevator, the phone call from Happy Mahua came, it was from Yan Fei.
Lin Nan thought for a while, that "Charlotte Troubles" wouldn't have been shot so fast, right? It’s only been a little over a month since it was launched!
"Director Yan?"
"Director Lin, just call me by my name, and Yan Fei will do it.
I always feel like being called 'Director Yan' by you I'm so ashamed, my virtue is not worthy of me, haha..."
As expected of a writer and director of comedy stage plays, this baggage is shaken just right, belittling oneself and raising others up.
"Since you want to make a movie, you must be a film director. Do you think you are not as good as Guo Jingming? You came from a professional school!"
Lin Nan joked with a smile Dao, Yan Fei and Peng Damo are indeed much more professional than Guo Jingming and Han Han.
After a few pleasantries, it wasn't until Lin Nan got in the car that he started talking about the serious matter of today's call.
"Director Lin, we are shooting very quickly and it is expected to be completed at the end of this month or early next month. Do you think you are free recently and can you come and visit us?
The main reason is that everyone in the crew has little influence... The media has given little coverage, and there are not many people paying attention to this movie online..."
Lin Nan understood, and the reason was still happy. The foundation of Mahua is too weak, and the public has little interest in "Charlotte Trouble".
There are too few reports and discussions in the media and online, so a group of people are a little worried. That's why they came up with the idea. It hit him.
After thinking about it, Lin Nan agreed immediately
"After two days, I will take the time to visit the crew. That should be enough. ”
"That's enough. It's just right. Then you can send me a letter in advance. Thank you so much, Director Lin."
"You're welcome, we are all our own people."
Lin Nan Said with a smile. Isn't it just one of my own, with 30% of the company's equity and two-thirds of the film's investment share?
…………
There are several cars parked outside Bad Monkey. It seems that the main creators of the movie have already arrived.
Walking all the way inside, Lin Nan could hear chattering and gossiping in the distance, coming from Ning Hao's office with the door open.
Tsinghua campus beauty, business tycoon, rich man and good looks... "The Left Ear" that refused the light...
"Oh, Director Lin is here, sit down quickly."
Huang Bo reacted first and moved his position with a smile. Xu Zheng sat on the sofa opposite and also said hello.
"Yuan Quan and the others have to wait for a while. I have someone book a box nearby at noon. Let's just get to Nortel at two o'clock."
Ning Hao put down the thermos cup in his hand and said calmly.
Lin Nan sat carelessly next to Huang Bo, glanced at Ning Hao's thermos cup, and couldn't help but want to laugh, it was the same model as Lao Jiang!
"From a distance, I heard what are you talking about about the school belle? The employees outside are also talking about it."
"Hey, it's just gossip, just chatting, it's far from us. Far away..."
Ning Hao and Huang Bo said something to each other, and half a minute later, Lin Nan suddenly understood.
Well, it’s “love” for sure!
At early eleven o'clock, Yuan Quan and other female stars rushed over one after another.
As for the actresses selected by Ning Hao, Lin Nan is relatively familiar with Yuan Quan.
After all, he has worked with several people in the 96th grade of China Drama, and most of the others are acquaintances. Moreover, Xia Yu is currently on the crew of Lin Nan Pictures' "Searching for the Dragon".
After a quick lunch, everyone rested for half an hour, and then the crew took several cars to go to Nortel.
To use Ning Hao's joking words, this time can be regarded as a home game. Counting him, Lin Nan and Huang Bo, there are three people from Nortel.
As for Xu Zheng, Yuan Quan and others, they are actors from the first and middle dramas who come to the away game to provoke.
......
The Nortel campus is very lively today. Although it is during the summer vacation, there are an unusually large number of students in the school.
Because as early as a few days ago, it spread that "Heart Blossom Road Fang" was coming to promote.
And the newly announced guest list is luxurious, with three great directors coming to just one crew.
How could a large number of students not be excited? Maybe if you are lucky, you will be chosen? Those are all opportunities!
Ning Hao and his group were already resting at the reception desk, just waiting for the opening ceremony. Lin Nan was outside, chatting with Cao Baoping.
"Only ten days have passed this month, and the Directors Guild and Screenwriters Guild have held no less than four meetings, all discussing your 'ban' proposal."
Cao Baoping said helplessly said.
Not only is he a member of these two associations, but "Heart of the Burning Sun", which he polished with great care, was the first to encounter such bad things.
Gao Rui is one of the actors in this movie, and Cao Baoping was worried that the former's drug involvement would affect the film's release.
"Teacher Cao, when the association holds a general meeting, it shouldn't be about 'talking' about my proposal to ban it, but a criticism, right?" Lin Nan joked.
"Haha, you guessed it right, almost." Cao Baoping smiled and nodded.
Since Lin Nan won the Golden Lion Award in September 2009 and returned to China to forcefully withdraw from the Film Association, he has become a typical deviant within all associations.
"Can I tell you something?"
Suddenly hearing Cao Baoping's words, Lin Nan realized that the next step should be the serious matter that the former wanted to say.
"Teacher Cao, just say it."
"I want to prepare a new movie immediately after "Heart of the Burning Sun" is released in the Lunar New Year festival..."
Lin Nan nodded lightly, knowing in his heart that Cao Baoping was looking for him to invest?
"I had no time to turn down Bona's invitation before and accepted Yu Dong's investment. Although "Heart of the Sun" was filmed, the cooperation experience was not very good.
The production and casting were both positive To the extent of the intervention, Yu Dong is too businessman. After thinking about it, I still have to come to you."
Cao Baoping looked at Lin Nan and said bluntly.
“What movie?”
“Well, it’s a black comedy suspense film. I have completed the first draft of the script.
I saw Xiao Xue working on the script of "Love in Seattle 2" there two days ago, so I thought I would have to chat with you recently, and I happened to meet you today. "
Lin Nan has never doubted Cao Baoping's strength. The former is a senior filmmaker, screenwriter and director.
"No problem, Teacher Cao will give me a specific budget breakdown when the time comes. That’s it. By the way, what's the name of the movie? "
""The Chaser"! I am confident that the story of this movie is definitely good, and I will give you a draft of the script later. "
"Okay. ”
The two chatted for a long time. It wasn't until Ning Hao came over to call for someone that Lin Nan and Cao Baoping left.
There was one sentence that he refrained from saying. That movie "The Burning Sun" is probably going to be a bit rough.
...The promotional activity for "Heart Blossoms on the Road" reached the second half, and it inexplicably became Lin Nan's exclusive "Q&A time."
A large number of students at school chose to ask him questions, and none of the questions he asked were from "The Flowers of the Heart"!
"Senior Lin Nan, they say you are getting engaged this month, can you tell me the specific day?"
Everyone has a tendency to gossip, and the place suddenly became lively.
Not only all the students, but also Ning Hao and others, as well as the Nortel teachers and leaders present, also looked joking.
“Originally, Producer Liu wanted to set the date on the 9th of next month, but I insisted on choosing the 25th of this month.”
As Lin Nan’s voice fell, there was a commotion on the field.
"You are not a son of a man, Director Lin stuffed our mouths with dog food!" Ning Hao took the microphone and complained with a feigned expression of contempt.
"Director Lin, we are already full at noon, no need for extra meals. Haha..." Huang Bo was also joining in the fun.
......
"Senior Lin Nan, can you tell me the specific time when you will return to school to teach? My classmates would like to know if they have the opportunity to listen to your class."
The questions of these students at school are getting more and more tricky. Even if they ask some questions that the outside world wants to know, Lin Nan feels that there is no way to avoid them today.
"Yes, Director Lin, when will you officially take up the post of Professor Lin? Speaking of which, you and Yifei are really suitable for the South Korean drama "My Love from the Star".
One is a handsome professor, One is a big star who is as beautiful as a flower. Haha..."
Xing Aina's joke was applauded by almost everyone present. Don't tell me, I can really cope with it!
Lin Nan smiled and shook his head, "Strictly speaking, in fact, next month, everyone can call me Professor Lin or Teacher Lin."
…………
The publicity effect of "Heart Blossoms on the Road" was very good in Nortel. It was so good that it made the headlines of entertainment news that afternoon and dominated the hot searches on Weibo.
It’s just that the movie is mentioned incidentally, and the real focus characters are Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.
"Director Lin Nan announced the engagement date, which is Liu Yifei's birthday on the 25th of this month."
"Director Lin Nan hinted that he will officially join the film school when school starts in September!"
“It is expected that when registering for the 2015 Art Examination, the number of Nortel candidates will increase significantly...”
...
"The school will make it public next month, so they call me Professor Lin or Teacher Lin, which is totally fine. It's just that I have to wait until next year to officially teach."
< br>Looking at Liu Yifei sitting in front of him, Lin Nan said softly.
The former was holding a tablet and was replying to messages from her friends Aite on Weibo.
“I got engaged on my birthday. They all said it was very memorable and they were very envious of me.”
Liu Yifei raised her head and said to Lin Nan a little arrogantly. It can be seen that she is very happy.
"Yes, I envy you."
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Miss Liu just laughed and couldn't stop laughing. She is really a fool.
……
The movie market in August is quite chaotic, and the entertainment industry in August is even more chaotic.
Bona's stock price plummeted because Fatty Yu was sued by his ex-wife again after two and a half months.
But he deserves it. It’s okay if you don’t pay alimony. You also fired the woman from her position as theater manager at Polybona Cinemas and lost her only job.
Now, companies in the entire film and television industry are watching the excitement, because Fatty Yu’s ex-wife asked the court to re-divide the marital property before the divorce.
This includes a large number of Bona original shares, a huge number, and a high proportion of equity.
Many colleagues in the industry are laughing at Fatty Yu for being so indifferent.
For two consecutive days, from Nortel to China Theater, Lin Nan ran away directly after the promotion.
Because Ning Hao is a bit shameless, and he actually wants to take advantage and continue to attract young men!
Liu Yifei is hurrying up to make the announcement, trying to finish it in a few days, and then she can stay at home wholeheartedly and wait for the engagement.
Lin Nan traveled between home and work, and sometimes Lu Yang would ask for help and give him some editing opinions on "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield" for reference.
In the film market, contrary to the expectations of the industry, Han Han's "Unexpectedly" completely lost its box office potential 18 days after its release and could not reach the normal release time.
But even so, this movie still achieved a high box office of 560 million, making a lot of money.
With a fairly good reputation, Han Han can be said to have established a foothold in the film industry. Anyway, he is definitely more stable than Guo Jingming!
Huang Xiaoming and Fan Bingbing's "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Moon Heaven" has become the leader among domestic films.
After earning 223 million in four days, the total box office has reached 350 million in 12 days of release so far.
Although the daily box office has dropped to just over 10 million, looking at this, there is obviously hope of hitting 400 million.
As for whether the box office can successfully exceed 400 million, it depends on whether "How to Train Your Dragon 2", which will be released on the 14th the day after tomorrow, will give it a chance.
......
"Director Lin, I have to come back from the set."
Yue Jun's call suddenly came back.
Lin Nan originally thought that he was going to come back to control the film remotely after arranging the subsequent production work, but it turned out that Lin Nan guessed wrong.
"Director Lin probably didn't expect that Shiyue Culture called me and asked me to go back and deal with the company's acquisition. Haha..."
"So sudden?" Lin Nan asked subconsciously.
"Dragon Nest: Breaking Dawn" was canceled in advance, with a total box office revenue of 57.4 million.
Maybe this information stimulated them, they have no money or capital Without support, it’s really impossible to make a real big animated movie!”
Lin Nan immediately flipped through the news. Yue Jun was right. This animated movie has an investment of over 100 million and a Hollywood team participated in the production! , blood loss!
"Then you come back and get the deal with Shiyue Culture as soon as possible."
"Well, okay."
After hanging up the phone from Yue Jun, Lin Nan noticed a post on Weibo Entertainment news, very exciting.
Something happened with Mango's "Where Are We Going, Dad 2" and a scandal was exposed.
It is said that the artist who always calls himself a "good father", "good man" and "good husband" did something dirty with a female staff member during the recording of the show.
Although there is no naming in the post, it is no different from naming!
Anyway, Lin Nan’s first subconscious reaction was that he knew this person!
Although the program team tried their best to refute it, Lin Nan really felt that it was possible, and the probability was not small.
After all, there seems to be problems with those kinds of characters.
“That’s awesome!” Lin Nan couldn’t help but exclaimed.
He just went to get a bottle of water, and the hot search was gone, and he just disappeared all of a sudden!
I don’t know if it was Mango who took action, or the person he knew spent the money?
Probably it’s the former. After all, this show is a cash cow, so there can’t be any mistakes!
……
On the afternoon of the 13th, Liu Yifei completed the shooting of the September issue.
The first thing she did when she got home was to take off her high heels, pick up her favorite cat, and call Lin Nan to help her get some food.
"All the work is done, will you accompany me to watch "How to Train Your Dragon 2" tomorrow?"
Seeing the expectant look on Ms. Liu's face, Lin Nan would definitely not refuse. .
"Of course. If I am sure to go see it tomorrow, then I have to call now to ask for two tickets for the IMAX 3D giant screen, otherwise I will definitely not be able to buy it tomorrow."
< br>"Yeah, go, go, go." Liu Yifei smiled and nodded, urging.
Lin Nan found it quite interesting. In addition to cooperating with Wanda on movies and Tudou, the thing he contacted the most was asking them to reserve IMAX 3D giant screen movie tickets for him.
If you tell me this, no one in the circle will believe it. But this is indeed a real thing, and Wanda handles it as a serious matter every time.
Lin Nan called me, and within five minutes, the text message came back.
The theater closest to the villa, go anytime tomorrow, there will be tickets for the IMAX 3D giant screen at any time, there will be staff waiting for Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, and they can even bring a few more people.
The next morning.
When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were still sleeping in each other's arms, the film and television entertainment industry was already in chaos, completely in chaos.
One wave has not subsided, but another wave has arisen.
The third wave is here!
…………
I’ve been in a bit of a bad state lately, and I’ll speed up the pace next.
