Chapter 705 As long as you go, you will definitely...
"Directed by director Ning Hao and produced by director Lin Nan, the road comedy movie "Heart Blossoms on the Road" was released for 23 days, with a total box office revenue of 1.288 billion. ! ”
“It is reported that the daily box office of “Heart Blossom Road” has dropped significantly to more than 4 million, but it is still very likely to cross the 1.3 billion box office threshold”
“ Industry insiders predict that by the time the movie is released, the box office revenue of the two major producers, Bad Monkey and Lin Nan Pictures, will reach more than 510 million. "
"The imported blockbuster "Guardians of the Galaxy" ranked first in October. It ranked second in the box office list in the mainland film market during the period, with a box office of over 500 million within 12 days of its release. ”
...
As we enter the second half of the year, a series of movie information has been compiled one after another.
Except for the top two in the box office list, other films, especially domestic films, have all become backgrounds and cannon fodder, unable to make any box office splash.
"Take Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", "Ip Man 3", "The Breakup Master", "Heart Blossom Road"!
The film performance of Lin Nan Pictures this year was once again put on the table by many film and television companies in the industry a few months before the end of the year, and they were extremely jealous!
This does not include Lin Nan Pictures’ revenue from TV series, variety shows, artist management, etc.
In addition, Tiangong Color is also a chicken that continues to lay golden eggs at a high rate, siphoning nearly half of the special effects business in the domestic film industry.
In the morning, Ning Hao called in a hurry.
He is already preparing for the celebration banquet, which is scheduled for the last day of the month, and he is quite impatient.
But think about it, once the box office data of 1.28 billion came out this morning, Director Ning's identity and status in the industry will be different!
He officially surpassed Zhou Xingchi and Xu Zheng and became the second-ranked director on the Chinese film box office list, second only to Lin Nan!
"Director Lin, China Film Group is asking, should we recommend actors to come?"
This question was a bit abrupt, and Lin Nan took a few seconds to respond.
"You asked me on your own initiative? Is this considered compensation for 'daunting' me? Haha..."
Lin Nan smiled and shook his head, and then ordered: "Reply China Film Group said that all of our people have schedule conflicts and have made other arrangements.”
"Okay, Director Lin."
Lin Nan has read the script of "The Great Wall". The supporting roles are also difficult to describe, so let's forget it.
Since you have rejected the director's position, it is best not to have any further relations.
……
Legendary and Universal are the two major Hollywood giants in controlling the production, China Film Policy is escorting, national teacher Zhang Yimou is directing, 150 million US dollars magic blockbuster, top 3D special effects, global distribution and release...< br>
These dazzling auras attract actors, stars and entertainment capital in the Chinese film and television industry.
The protagonist team needs Hollywood celebrities and top domestic first-line actors. It is indeed difficult for the industry to make decisions about the selection of these roles, but the same cannot be said for other supporting roles.
Countless film and television companies and entertainment capital in the industry are now trying every means to get their own people in - "gold-plated"!
Some people even approached Lin Nan and asked him to help recommend actors.
Because everyone knows that he is close to China Film Group. The most important point is that there is no airtight wall in the industry. Some people can still find out about his exposure to "The Great Wall".
...
Facts have proved that becoming a director across industries is indeed risky, and not everyone can do it.
Cui Jian's "Blue Bones", although Ning Hao, Jiang Wen and others attended the premiere to help promote the platform, the results were not good.
Now that it has been released for 5 days, the total box office is less than 3 million. It has been abandoned by the theaters, and the film schedule has been directly cut to less than 1%.
This rock star who entered the film industry failed in his first battle and fell into disgrace!
When Lin Nan drove back to Nortel, he also saw a row of "Blue Bones" posters on the publicity board, but they were being cleared...
I received a call from Lao Jiang at noon, and the other party hesitated. I didn't tell him clearly what was going on, so I just asked him to come to school for a walk and have a chat when he was free.
What's there to talk about that can't be done on the phone?
However, Lin Nan really needed to rest and relax while supplementing the script, so he stopped by in the afternoon.
“The first class should be over soon, right?”
When Lin Nan passed by the rehearsal hall, he couldn't help but muttered.
Through the entire transparent glass wall, you can see the female students wearing tight-fitting training uniforms. All of them have graceful figures and long legs!
Nowadays, the art examinations in the three major colleges and universities are paying more and more attention to appearance.
As long as it is a major related to performance, a beautiful face and figure are the essential foundation, even in higher vocational colleges, the best will be selected!
Of course, the threshold for those second and third generations is much lower.
The result of being caught was that Lin Nan was affecting others in class. He nodded to the female teacher in front of him and walked away quickly.
A variety of greetings and greetings were heard along the way. Lin Nan soon came to the directing department, where it was much cleaner.
"Huh? Why are you alone today? Where are the others?"
Lin Nan looked at the empty office and asked Lao Jiang. The latter was turning on the computer and watching a movie.
"Those who are in class are in class, and those who are in meetings are in meetings. Oh, by the way, Director Tian has gone to the crew. That "Yang Guifei" is a mess. He is ready to quit, just put his name on it."
Lin Nan remembered that it was Fan Bingbing's "Yang Guifei". They had been filming it intermittently for two or three years, right? There are so many moths!
As soon as he sat there, Lin Nan was not polite and crossed his legs directly, "If you have anything to do, tell me quickly. I was hesitant on the phone. I will go to the Literature Department to see Sister Xue later." ”
Seeing Lin Nan being so direct, Lao Jiang became a little coy.
After a while, he said in a broken voice:
"What kind of nonsense is this! I agreed in advance that I am not willing to take this job, Tian The director directly rejected me, but you know, who calls me a 'low-status junior'? They directly suppressed me, and I could only..."
"I said, can you please be more straightforward and stop beating around the bush?"
Lin Nan smiled speechlessly. Seeing Lao Jiang's mother-in-law look made him feel uncomfortable and gave him goosebumps.
"Okay, but you have to agree in advance. Don't look down on me after I tell you. I am also being chased."
At this moment, Lin Nan realized, Lao Jiang is really up to something.
“Say it.”
"Let me give you a message over there. After the Spring Festival... the registration for the Golden Rooster Club will begin... it will end at the end of May. You... go and sign up."
Lao Jiang looked at Lin Nan with a look in his eyes. Looking envious, he stammered and finished speaking.
He is very aware of the conflict between Lin Nan and those old guys. The old guys in the association are not human beings. They always rely on their seniority, age and right to speak to beat the younger generation and teach them "rules".
The better you are, the more they will beat and teach you the "rules"!
Okay this time, can your rules be bigger than the "rules" above? You have to give in to Lin Nan!
The most important thing is that some people are really stupid in their operations. Some time ago, they were thinking of "moral kidnapping" so that they could control Lin Nan, but they failed.
Lin Nan heard clearly - he heard a joke!
“I don’t lack the Golden Rooster Award, and I won’t sign up. Let them save the money.
Maybe after the year, I will come back with a Golden Globe or an Oscar trophy. , Ask the school to prepare the banner for me, haha..."
Lin Nan refused outright at first, and then changed the topic with a smile, not difficult for Lao Jiang.
He had stopped liking Golden Rooster a long time ago, but those people were really disgusting and an eyesore.
"Are you sure you understand what I mean? As long as you go, you will definitely..."
"Teacher Jiang, you are only responsible for passing on the message, right?" Lin Nan asked Cut each other off.
"Ah? Well, let's send a message." Lao Jiang nodded subconsciously.
"Then I will say it again: I am not short of golden roosters, and I will not sign up. Don't bother me anymore. Just leave it as it is and convey it to me."
Seeing Lin Nan's serious face, which didn't look like he was joking, Lao Jiang knew that he was serious.
"Oh, okay. You have such a temper and confidence. Director Tian really understands you. If it were me or other people in the school, I would really... Forget it."< br>
As Lao Jiang talked, he started to laugh at himself a little.
"Is there anything else?" Lin Nan put down his legs.
“No, I will convey it.”
After chattering for another five minutes, Lin Nan left the director department's office.
Lao Jiang stood at the door, looking at the back of the figure walking towards the Literature Department, and whispered softly:
"I am still too young and take it for granted. The nature of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is not Same. This is no longer your business alone..."
......
Xue Xiaolu and Cao Baoping are both professors at Nortel and directing as a side job.
The former has even more teaching work than the latter.
This results in the creation speed and efficiency of scripts being very slow.
Like the original "Love in Seattle", the second script Lin Nan saw was only part of it, with only one-third completed.
In terms of depth, Xue Xiaolu's script is indeed not as good as Cao Baoping, but in terms of commercial attributes, Xue Xiaolu is slightly better!
“I heard Professor Cao say that his next drama will still be with you?”
"Don't worry, Sister Xue, your budget won't be reduced because of this, haha."
Lin Nan closed the script and joked.
"Of course I'm not worried, you are a big business owner."
"When will the script be finalized?"
This is something Lin Nan is more concerned about.
I saw Xue Xiaolu frowning slightly, thinking about it, and finally gave an answer:
"After the Spring Festival. There will be fewer courses in the first half of next year, and it will be time to start the project."
"It's time again." Spring Festival..."
"What?"
"Nothing, I said I am very busy this Spring Festival, and I will be busy next year too!"
The news of Lin Nan's return to school spread in Nortel.
When the heads of several major departments came to the Literature Department and prepared to "lobby" Lin Nan about starting classes, they came to nothing.
The latter was already sitting in the car and ready to leave.
“What did you say, say it again?”
“Director Lin, I said that the company received an invitation to the cocktail party, and it was from Yang Mi. Their company seems to be soliciting investment.< br>
But it doesn’t feel like it’s just soliciting investment? But to say that you are rushing to go public is a bit fanciful, right? ”
…………
On the 23rd, the Sino-Japanese co-production film "Five Minutes to Midnight", which was widely promoted by the Tang Dynasty, was released.
It's just that the high-profile promotion and loud slogans before the release were so loud that after the box office came out on the first day, Liu Shishi, the first sister of the Tang Dynasty and one of the four Xiaohuadan, was slapped in the face. It's really not suitable for the movie industry.
The feeling given to the industry is that her "massive fans" are all fake, right? Are they all zombie fans?
As an absolute heroine who plays two roles in one person, the box office on the first day was only 2.67 million? This is completely unworthy of the title of "Four Little Flowers"!
Even if you only rely on the support of fans, you won’t only have this little box office?
As soon as this result came out, Liu Shishi, who occupied the title of "Four Little Flowers", instantly became the target of ridicule on the Internet, and black manuscripts were everywhere.
And looking at this appearance and scale, there are still many competitors and companies in the industry working hard at the same time. Among them, there are many second-tier people who are behind her and want to take her place!
"No one will ask her to act in movies in the future. If this is not a box office poison, then what is a box office poison? Which of the movies she has participated in has not been a waste of money? Didn't she even screw up the lighting once? , that was when she first became popular with "Bu Bu Jing Xin", haha..." Lin Nan said jokingly. People in Tang Dynasty must have recognized the reality, right?
Wang Changtian, who was opposite him, looked a bit unhappy. "Sad Fairy Tale" is the movie with the worst lighting, bar none!
"If Cai Yinong were to be praised by another actress now, it would probably be too late!"
Old Wang complained angrily. In his opinion, Liu Shishi is not as good as his own Liu Yan.
"So what if I change someone? I don't have the resources."
Lin Nan was invited over by Wang Changtian today purely to celebrate his success.
"Running Man" has been broadcast for two episodes. The ratings of the second episode were the first in the country at the same time, soaring to 8.03, which was a mess!
Tomorrow’s third issue is even more anticipated and discussed by viewers across the Internet. The data on Tudou’s side is also outrageously gorgeous.
“China Film Group was auditioning, and I sent all the company’s artists, but they were all rejected.”
Lin Nan instantly became energetic after hearing Lao Wang's words.
Good guy, quite ambitious. With just a few artists like Guangguang, how could they want them? Firstly, he is not a big-name actor, and secondly, he is not a popular star, which is quite a beautiful idea!
"It's only normal if it's brushed down, haha..."
"Didn't you help the artists in your company and the people around you?" Lao Wang had a sly look in his eyes.
Lin Nan sighed, knowing that Wang Changtian had more than one thing. He pointed out: "The water in "The Great Wall" is a bit muddy, and the burden is too heavy for me to carry."
< br>
"So, what was rumored before is true?"
"Whether it is true or not, does it still make sense?"
"I understand."
"The Great Wall" 》The audition selection has reached a fever pitch.
A large number of media reporters and vehicles gathered outside China Film and Television, and various related information was reported online every day.
Actors from Mainland China and Hong Kong Island were captured by the camera as they entered and exited China Film Studio. It was wonderful.
......
Counting the days, Liu Yifei's "Interstellar" promotional tour is about to end, and she can return to China early.
Lin Nan also made a special call to confirm her flight to ensure that she would not miss it.
At the same time, Jiaxing is also very lively.
"Why did you invite Lin Nan Pictures on your own initiative without consulting me?"
Zeng Jia tried hard to control his emotions, half asking, half interrogating.
Yang Mi has been very tired recently and has a lot of announcements; she has to laugh and drink with her at cocktail parties, and occasionally she is taken advantage of.
But when she heard Zeng Jia’s question, she immediately became more energetic:
“Because I think Lin Nan Pictures is one of the best investors. Better than us The ones I saw were all of high quality, so I added Director Lin’s company to the invitation list and personally called Director Yue Jun to invite them.”
This answer left Zeng Jia speechless and unable to refute.
"You think others are the best, but have you ever thought about whether others think highly of us?"
Although Zeng Jia asked this question, in her heart Zeng Jia hoped that Lin Nan The film industry looks down on Jiaxing, otherwise it will be very troublesome!
This question really irritated Yang Mi.
What is Jiaxing? Specifically, Jiaxing's main business is artist management, and its production business has just started.
Even if you invest in filming a TV series, you need to hire a full shooting team including a director, because you simply can’t afford it.
What about Lin Nan Pictures? It has its own complete set of production and shooting teams, as well as complete production capabilities.
Yes, what if Lin Nan Pictures doesn’t like it?
"Then we have to try, how can we draw conclusions so easily."
Yang Mi said firmly, unwilling to give up.
Zeng Jia opened her mouth and did not "contact" again. After all, Yang Mi is the backbone of the company!
“Okay, I hope you get your wish!”
…………
At the beginning of July, "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield" was officially completed. So far, it has been It’s almost 4 months.
The post-production and some special effects shots of this film were finally completed thanks to the slow and meticulous work of Lu Yang and Tiangong Color!
Lin Nan was immediately called by Lu Yang to go to the company.
"Director Lin, come and see the finished film, it is definitely better than the first one."
Lu Yang urged eagerly as soon as he entered Tiangong Color. Zhang Yi is also nearby, and Lei Jiayin seems to be on the set and has not returned.
"Director Lin, sit down quickly."
Guo Fan gave up his position. He has been working in the screenwriting department recently, participating in "Get Out!" An adaptation of "Tumor King".
"Let's get started."
Internal members of Lin Nan Pictures gave a sneak peek of the two-hour movie.
......
"Here, who is this girl? She is good with knives."
"Xin Zhilei, the one I chose is not famous. ”
"Oh, Zhang Yi looks so 'slave-like' on his face! Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"Director Lin, Shu Chang's acting skills are indeed good. Although he did not come from a professional school, this The actual acting skills of the various crews easily beat the actors of the same age! "
...
I have to say that Lu Yang does have his own characteristics in martial arts films, which is great.
The graphics of "Xiuchundao 2 Shura Battlefield" are much more beautiful and natural than the first one.
"Now that it's done, can it be sent for review?" Guo Fan couldn't help but ask.
"When are you planning to release it next year? But you must choose a good time. This is my first costumed martial arts film! The same goes for Lei Jiayin."
Zhang Yi smacked his lips. , and also a little excited.
Lin Nan did not answer, but looked at Lu Yang with a smile.
The latter had a joking smile on his face, "There is no rush to submit "Xiu Chun Knife 2" for review. It will be kept secret for now. As for when it will be released? We can't decide this."
Lu Yang's last words left Guo Fan and Zhang Yi stunned.
Director Lin is here, and you, the director, are also here. Why can’t you decide on the schedule?
"We can't decide the release date, so who can?" Zhang Yi asked weakly.
"Hahaha..., Director Chen Kaige can decide!"
Lu Yang couldn't help it anymore and laughed loudly.
"He's waiting for "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain"..."
Lin Nan explained with a chuckle.
......
While Zhang Yi was called to the company, Lin Nan simply reminded him face to face, "Don't take any roles during the period before and after this."
"Director Lin, you are going to open a new play? Is there a role for me?"
The latter reacted quickly and asked immediately.
“I’m going to start a new play, but there’s no role suitable for you. It’s from director Cao Baoping. He said there is a role in the new play that’s suitable for you.
Our company is also investing. The script hasn't been written yet, it will only take a month. As for the start time, it will be about the end of the year."
Hearing this, Zhang Yi was equally happy. Because he has collaborated on "Li Mi's Conjecture", he knows Cao Baoping's ability, he is very strong!
“No problem, during this period, I won’t take any roles, I will just wait for Director Cao.”
.........
The first sister of the Tang Dynasty has become a big joke in the mainland film and television circles.
"Five Minutes to Midnight" had a box office of 2.67 million on the first day, but it was cut in half to 1.47 million on the second day!
Those "little lions" and lions with extremely powerful fighting abilities on the Internet are all silent, and I don't know where they went?
Will the previously agreed-upon Sino-Japanese co-production film enter the international stage? Aren't you leaving either?
At early ten o'clock in the morning, as Lin Nan was driving to the airport, she was really amused by the entertainment news on the car radio.
The box office results of Yang Mi, Yang Ying, Ni Na and others' movies were compared one by one. Good guys, they all beat Liu Shishi!
The media went to interview Tanghe and Yijie’s manager, but they were all turned away and hung up on immediately. They just kept silent and hid!
Sitting in the cab, Lin Nan did not get out of the car.
But his license plate is remembered by entertainment reporters.
"Is it Director Lin's car?"
"You haven't gotten out of the car, are you waiting for someone?"
"How long has Liu Yifei been abroad?"
"Counting the time, there are 20 Damn it? If you say so, Director Lin is here to pick you up at the airport today!”
“Most likely, no, he is here to pick up the plane!”
...
A group of entertainment reporters are getting more and more excited. Today is really a good day, there are many big names.
Liu Dehua just left the airport, but he didn’t expect Liu Yifei to come back this morning too!
As it approached 11:30, Lin Nan's cell phone vibrated. The word "Sissi" came into view.
He answered immediately and got out of the car.
"Sissi, have you come out? I didn't see you?"
Lin Nan asked, looking in the direction of the airport exit. The reporters looked at Director Lin who was looking around and hurriedly turned their cameras.
"I'm still inside and walking towards the exit. This time, I have a companion on the way back. Guess who it is? If you guess it, there will be a reward! Hee hee..."
Liu Yifei's cheerful voice came out from the phone, with a bit of playfulness, but there was indeed a bit of noise nearby.
“How could I have guessed this? Since I came back with you, won’t we know it when we meet later?”
Lin Nan said with a smile and walked straight to the exit.
The media reporters in the distance gradually gathered around and stood far away. They knew Lin Nan's character and were all old acquaintances.
Five minutes later.
Wearing casual jeans and a windbreaker, with her face covered in black and long hair, Liu Yifei appeared at the exit of the passage.
Several assistants and bodyguards followed, pushing luggage or blocking passers-by.
The moment she saw Lin Nan, a smile broke out on her face and she trotted over.
The two embraced each other. They hadn’t seen each other for twenty days, and they still missed each other.
"Lin Nan..." Miss Liu rubbed her face gently.
"Well, get ready to go home."
Lin Nan let go of Liu Yifei. As soon as he said these words, he heard another familiar voice coming from the exit passage.
"Lin, long time no see."
