Chapter 708 Welcome Director Lin Nan back to Berlin! Fixed angle...
In less than two hours, the news of Matt Damon's high-profile attendance at the celebration party of "Butterfly Lovers" appeared on Weibo's hot searches and entertainment headlines.
You know, in the past, it was rare for Hollywood's first-line actors or stars to attend celebration banquets for Chinese-language films.
There was a heated discussion in the circle and on the Internet, and everyone was lamenting Lin Nan's strong connections. No one else could hire Matt Damon except him.
"After noon today, "Heart Blossoms on the Road" has almost finished its chapter. Just waiting for the box office split next month, it will be completely over!
Don't tell me, I can't help but get excited when I think about that number. After working hard for so many years, this is the first time I see so much money, tsk tsk tsk..."
Ning Hao touched Lin Nan with a glass of wine, feeling quite emotional. But the joy on his face was hidden. I can’t help it, after all, he has made nearly 300 million!
Lin Nan understands his feelings. This is a one-time profit from one movie, which is comparable to the net worth that Ning Hao has accumulated over a long period of time! It’s different.
“Looking at you like this, why do you seem so impatient to get a share of the box office? Are you short of money recently? Lin Nan asked curiously.
Sure enough, Ning Hao had a helpless smile on his face and nodded.
"Most of my previous wealth has been invested in happiness, and I still have a company to support. What do you think? Now I'm just waiting for the box office account to be replenished.
Although I plan to take a break from making movies for a few years, but advertising , MVs and the like. My salary for directing these films is very high, but it’s still not as high as the offer from outside..."
As he spoke, Ning Hao started talking again. He talked about other topics, which was a bit showy.
Lin Nan smiled and didn't answer. He had heard about the offers for him to direct commercial short films, music videos, etc., and it was almost catching up with the film director's salary set for him in the industry, which was very high.
But he has no such idea or interest at all. He cannot open his mouth in this regard, otherwise he will be annoyed to death.
"Director Ning, I have worked with Director Lin twice. I wonder when I can work with Director Ning again? In fact, I am also very good at comedy."
Just when Lin Nan complained about Ning Hao At this time, Liu Dehua came over.
He still looks like a breath of fresh air, just like when he told Lin Nan for the first time that if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, he must act with him. Although he is a bit expensive, he can bring in money. Join the group. And it seems that he has been doing this all these years and has helped many crews!
"Haha, Brother Hua, you're so polite. If there is a chance, we will definitely cooperate." Ning Hao responded quickly.
Lin Nan spoke at the right time, leaving space for the two of them to communicate: "Brother Hua, while you are chatting, I will go to Yifei's side first. See you later."
Why do people say that Huang Xiaoming is the mainland version of Andy Lau? The answer is here, network! The two of them were present at the same time today, and they were indeed busy socializing at the moment.
"Director Lin, see you later."
On an occasion like today, artists of the same rank will only be surrounded by people of the same level.
Several big flowers showed this point very straightforwardly, teaching perfectly on the spot.
The same is true around Liu Yifei. Although she doesn't care about it, everyone surrounding her is also a thread.
Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing and others are very good at talking. They kept saying "Your Director Lin", which made Ms. Liu's smile never break.
……
The outside world.
The promotional press release for Tang Dynasty's "Tornado Eleven", which was officially completed in the morning, has drowned out the negative news about Liu Shishi's film hitting the streets.
The scandal between Hu Ge and Wang Xiaochen has not ended yet, but it has taken off again. It has successfully attracted the firepower of netizens and once again "saved" the first sister of the same company!
At the same time, China Film, Chairman's Office.
Old god Zhang Yimou was sitting there, beside him were Zhang Zhao, the vice presidents of Legend and Universal, and La Peikang, who was in charge.
Everyone in their hands held a piece of information, which was the final casting list for "The Great Wall" and the detailed identity information of each actor.
"Tomorrow is the 1st, just tomorrow. As for the press conference, it will be on the 5th."
La Peikang made the final decision and made the decision.
"One week after the press conference, all actors must leave for Hollywood, and the training time will be at least three months."
The people from Legendary Pictures said without emotion. Everyone nodded and had no opinion.
“Director Zhang, I’ll thank you for the hard work this time.”
“You’re welcome, Director, I am the director and this is my responsibility.”
Meet Zhang He nodded expressionlessly, showing no emotion. This was his first time shooting a 3D movie, so it was quite stressful.
And to be honest, he was not very satisfied with many of the people on the cast list, especially the few who came in, who were said to be young kids with a huge fan market.
But when he thought of the high salary for "The Great Wall", he had nothing to say.
......
Towards evening, Lin Nan received a call from Yue Jun. The latter had already set off and was on his way to the Jiaxing reception.
This matter has already spread in a small area within the circle. That is: Yang Mi’s company is holding a reception, looking for investment, and even financing!
"They are quite capable! Are they going to go public now?" Liu Yifei said in surprise.
"Well. To put it bluntly, when it comes to career ambition, she really crushes all of you actresses and female artists born in 1985. But she is a bit biased."
< br>Lin Nan said casually. Miss Liu nodded. Anyway, she thought she was quite lazy and not so ambitious.
October has just passed.
On a new day, Berlin gave Lin Nan a "surprise" and also gave the Chinese film industry a "surprise"!
"The 65th Berlin International Film Festival officially opened its registration channels yesterday. Eye-catching words appeared on the official website: Welcome Director Lin Nan back to Berlin!"
"The film "Manchester by the Sea" has been confirmed and will be the main attraction for this year's Berlin International Film Festival." The opening film of the Berlin International Film Festival has its world premiere and has officially signed up to participate in the awards competition of this film festival! "
... In the morning, the news from Berlin caught the mainland film and television circles off guard, and more online news It was a bustling crowd.
“What’s going on? Weren’t you talking about going to the Golden Globes and Oscars? Why did the Berlin International Film Festival pop up again?”
"He is planning to take one movie to the Golden Globe, Oscar and Berlin? No wonder there is no fixed schedule!"
"This, this ambition is too big, right? Or maybe I don't have confidence, so I Cast a wide net?”
“It’s amazing. I watched the Golden Globes, Oscars, and Berlin before the Spring Festival this year. There are so many possibilities, it’s hard to predict what the final result will be.”
...
Reactions in the circle were also very fast, with many words of flattery, compliments, and wishes for success being posted on Weibo.
Lin Nan's mobile phone was also not idle. Short messages, messages, and voices were sent all at once.
"Is this the third time to compete in Berlin? The first two times were the Silver Bear Awards for Best Director, so this time... the nomination is certain. Hiss, what a beast!"
"It's rare to see Director Jiang's tone like this. Are you feeling stressed? I've said he is a beast a long time ago, haha..."
"Over and over again, no more. I don’t want the silver one this time, bring back the gold one. Next time you watch a literary or realistic movie, remember to call me, otherwise I will harass your sister Yifei!”
“Thighs, thighs...”
...
Lin Nan wilted and went to the company, while Liu Yifei continued to sleep, her beautiful and delicate bare face was glowing with a rosy luster, and she could almost squeeze out water, and the same was true for her bare shoulders. Fair and delicate.
When the elevator reached the first floor of Tiangong Color, Lin Nan went in to take a look.
Lu Yang has finished the work. At this moment, Wu Ershan has moved in from the lower floor and is working on "Searching for the Dragon".
Without interrupting too much, Lin Nan returned to the office, and Yue Jun came right after.
"Director Lin, didn't you get a good rest?"
"Well, insomnia. When did the reception end yesterday?"
Lin Nan changed the subject calmly.
"It officially started at eight o'clock and ended around 11 o'clock in the evening."
Speaking of this, Yue Jun paused, obviously thinking of something.
"Yesterday, there were no big capitals in the Internet and financial circles, but there were small and medium-sized ones, and there was a lot of capital in the film and television industry, tsk tsk..."
Looking at Yue Jun, who was still feeling emotional, Lin Nan suddenly had interest.
“Let me listen, how did they introduce Jiaxing’s prospects?”
When it came to business, Yue Jun instantly cheered up:
“Tell the truth. , Jiaxing’s performance is very good, better than many production companies in the industry, but there is one biggest problem, which is also a fatal drawback.”
"Yang Mi?" Lin Nan said with a smile.
"Yes, 70% to 80% of a company's profits and almost all the business are handled by one artist. This is very unhealthy! Although she is working hard to bring in new people."
Lin Nan clicked Head, said nothing. He knows this. After all, she is the first of the four young beauties and a "model worker"!
“This kind of company is not a good choice for investment, unless.”
Yue Jun’s voice stopped suddenly, and he thought of Yang Mi dressed sexyly, accompanied by a newcomer to drink, Shaked his head.
"Our company is strong, and we don't need female artists to have one drink after another at the banquet, sacrificing their appearance."
Hearing this, Lin Nan knew what happened at yesterday's cocktail party. Most people in the entertainment industry don't Is that it?
Which of these big flowers, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, and Zhang Ziyi, didn’t come here like this? Yang Mi chose the same path as them!
"Okay, now that it's clear, go ahead and reply to her. We have no intention."
"Okay."
…………
The news that came back from Berlin in the morning caused heated discussions in the film and television circles for a while.
So just before noon, the announcement released by China Film Group, Legend, Universal, and LeTV completely exploded the film and television industry.
Because the casting list for "The Great Wall" has been announced.
"Co-produced by Legendary Pictures, Universal Pictures, China Film and LeTV, with an investment of US$150 million, and a Sino-US co-production, the 3D magical blockbuster "The Great Wall" has officially been cast!"

A Sino-US co-production blockbuster that has attracted much attention from the Chinese film industry, this is the official lineup of the main creative team.
But this result caused an uproar in the entire film and television industry.
Only because of the choice of the female lead!
Looking at the country, there are so many actresses, but in the end this huge cake fell on Jing Tian?
Even Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing and others were brushed aside and lost to Jing Tian?
There are many more actresses in the industry who feel aggrieved and aggrieved, but no one dares to speak out.
Because no one is stupid, it is absolutely impossible for the female lead to win a big cake like "The Great Wall" without anyone behind her, it doesn't matter!
