Chapter 714: Rich woman, can you support me?
Lin Nan also did not expect that with the strong release of "Interstellar" in the domestic film market and its explosive reputation, Director Chen Da would also benefit?
Because there are many posts from filmmakers and industry insiders on the Internet:
“It’s time to calm down and watch "The Promise" again. Director Chen Kaige’s magical masterpiece of the year is just Lost in 'time', it is no worse than "Interstellar"!"
"If you taste it carefully, you will find that "The Promise" and today's "Interstellar" have many similarities in nature. Under the cloak of magic and science fiction, it tells the most 'real' thing about human nature. Time, life, class, etc. will pass away. The destiny of the 'human' species is to learn to face death and destruction."
< br>
"I remember that after a lot of bad reviews, director Chen Kaige said feebly: "The Promise" was filmed for future audiences. But no one in the media or the audience at the time cared about this sentence. Everyone only focused on watching a film that had already been filmed. A joke from the master film director of "Farewell My Concubine"..."
...
To be honest, when Lin Nan saw this movie information, he was completely confused. I can’t help but admire the exquisiteness of language art.
Even Chen Hong stood up, liked these posts and expressed support. It seems that these words really speak to Director Chen’s heart!
"Master film director? Well, just a little bit short. As long as he makes another movie of the same level or even slightly inferior, then he will really become a master director. It's a pity...< br>
I'm a little bit doubtful whether Director Chen bought the navy? Haha..." Lin Nan laughed to himself, but this is unlikely.
Because Chen Kaige's biggest shortcoming, "having a high opinion of himself", is also his advantage, that "pride" Let him disdain to hire navy troops!
"If you think about it this way, it means that these people are just trying to flatter themselves? ”
The more Lin Nan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. This circle is still so interesting.
I didn’t take a closer look at the netizens’ ridicule, because Jiang Yuerou came in with someone.
This time, the cooperation between Lin Nan Pictures and Noon Sunshine was extremely fast. The two parties just reached an agreement the day before yesterday, and the contract was finalized today.
"Director Lin, we have confirmed it over there and have no objections to the content of the agreement. The script has been submitted for review and we plan to start casting at the end of this month or the beginning of next month."
Looking through just now After signing the contract, Lin Nan nodded.
"Then prepare the funds. You have been working hard on this project. I originally wanted you to produce Guo Fan's new movie."
"Is it the same? TV series are still easy. "Point." Jiang Yanrou responded with a smile.
After Lin Nan handed over the signed form to the people in the financial department, Jiang Yuerou and Jiang Yuerou left the office together.
At around ten o'clock, Lin Nan finally completed the script of "Detective Chinatown". Throwing it into the safe, he stood up and prepared to leave the company.
I agreed to shoot promotional videos and posters for the school. It should be done sooner rather than later, just in the morning, so as not to be busy and have no time.
By the way, let’s review the food in the cafeteria, because Liu Yifei must have eaten out with Shu Chang at noon and would not go back.
…………
Outside the Capital Airport, a motorcade is quite conspicuous. It attracted the attention of a large number of reporters, and many passers-by also stopped or slowed down.
When a group of foreigners and domestic bodyguards took the lead in "warning", the entertainment reporters knew that there must be material again.
Sure enough, I saw familiar faces getting out of the car.
"Zhang Yimou, Matt Damon, Jing Tian, Liu Dehua, Willem Dafoe, Pedro Pascal, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Wang Junkai..."
"This Is it the crew of "The Great Wall"? There are also executives from Legend and Warner...people from China Film Group came to see her off."
"Look, we're about to leave for Hollywood! It's awards season there, so maybe we'll show up again then, right?" Director Nan has used it! As well as Liu Dehua and Zhang Hanyu."
...
The dedicated security team kept the media at bay.
However, a group of people did not show cold indifference. Instead, they smiled and waved hello to the reporters, but did not answer questions.
Matt Damon is the most famous among a group of actors, a Hollywood A-lister and a Venice Best Actor.
As we all know, after this crew training, Matt Damon will most likely have to go out often because of Lin Nan's "Manchester by the Sea".
Although the shortlists for the three film awards have not been announced, the Berlin International Film Festival is destined to enter the main competition section. Nominations for Oscars and Golden Globes, it’s not a big deal if you think about it!
"Matt, are you sending a message to Director Lin?" Liu Dehua accidentally saw Matt Damon's mobile phone interface.
"Well, tell him and Crystal that I'm going back to Hollywood. But we'll meet again next month, so we can all get together again then."
In the VIP lounge, Matt Damon's words attracted the attention of many people around him, especially those artists who came in to gild the room.
"He will have to go there next month at the latest. The Golden Globe is about to announce its nomination list, as is Berlin, and the Oscars also need public relations..."
Zhang Yimou suddenly interjected, before he I have learned the accurate news these days. Before him, the first person "The Great Wall" contacted was Lin Nan!
This made him feel a little emotional about Lin Nan's courage. It's good to be young and don't care about money. And he picked up something that he had not paid attention to in the past ten or twenty years!
Beside him, Jing Tian’s big black eyes were shining with water, “Matt, I wish your movie can win a big award.”
Matt Damon was stunned and laughed out loud, "Thank you, Jing...Tian."
He called out Jing Tian's name in broken Chinese.
…………
In the past, I was always manipulating others on the set, and I rarely had to be directed by others.
It’s very interesting that two great directors met by chance at Nortel, and they both came for the same thing.
"What's this called? It means being poor in the busy city and no one cares about you, and being rich in the mountains with distant relatives! Why didn't you call me before, but you think of me this year?"
Ning Hao sat with his hands in his sleeves There, he rolled his eyes and complained to Lin Nan, with a disdainful expression as if the school was not doing things properly.
Lin Nan nodded in cooperation from time to time, but his eyes were looking at the entertainment information on his mobile phone.
On the second day after the release of "Interstellar", its influence was already very great. When Liu Yifei and Shu Chang went out for shopping, they were just living targets.
At the moment, Weibo is full of their whereabouts, and they don’t shy away from eating and drinking when they should, from dessert shops to coffee shops, from pet shops to movie theaters... anyway, they take pictures The photos are all beautiful!
"Ning Hao, do you have such a big resentment?" Lao Jiang said jokingly, stroking the camera.
"Of course there is. Hey, your angle is not good. Light it closer...I am a director from the photography department, so listen to me..."
A promotional video , it was really just past 12 o’clock. During this period, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Wang Jinsong and others even came to have a look.
When Lin Nan and Ning Hao finished their work, they heard Lao Jiang mention that many famous alumni had been invited back this time, including the fifth generation Chen Kaige and Gu Changwei.
“Is the school really running for ‘half of the world’? Haha...”
In the afternoon, entertainment headlines on the Internet continued to change, attracting the attention of many people in the industry.
"The crew of the Sino-US co-production blockbuster "The Great Wall" departed for Hollywood today... The creative team appeared at the airport, and there were many security personnel!"
"The film "The Taoist Descending the Mountain" directed by Chen Kaige has completed the post-production Production, officially submitted for review. Producer Chen Hong said that the film intends to be released in the summer season. "
"Tangren held a high-profile press conference and held a replacement signing ceremony for actors Jin Chen, Han Dongjun, Hu Bingqing, Chen Yao and others... …"
"After "Nirvana in Fire", Noon Sunshine and Lin Nan Pictures will produce a second TV series. The details are unknown and need to be further understood. "
...
Although Noon Sunshine said it would start casting at the end of the month or early next month, some established candidates were contacted in advance.
Tang Dynasty.
Cai Yinong looked at the invitation handed over by the secretary, with a subconscious expression of joy on his face.
Even if she is unwilling to admit it, she still has to face the fact that the Tang people "cannot afford" Hu Ge.
"Lao Hu said before that Producer Hou had a very good impression of him and promised to work together again if there was an opportunity, but he didn't expect it would be so soon. Moreover, it is still a drama jointly produced with Lin Nan Pictures. Just press He means, reply there, no problem."
"Okay, Mr. Cai."
Cai Yinong is not worried about Hu Ge.
The focus of Tang Dynasty right now is the TV series with Sohu. This drama will be used to praise the three newly signed artists, and it is also a meeting gift for poaching Jin Chen.
“The filming will start next month. Let them prepare more and strive to become famous in one go. The theme of this drama is very good!”
Cai Yinong is still very confident in his own vision.
…………
The box office revenue on the first day was 110 million;
On the second and third days, the single-day box office revenue was 120 million consecutively;
< br>The daily box office dropped to 100 million on the fourth day;
It wasn't until the fifth day that the daily income finally dropped to eight figures, with a closing price of around 92 million!
At this time, "Interstellar" has been released for 5 days, with a total box office of 542 million in the first weekend!
This figure makes the mainland film industry a little nervous.
Especially for several movies such as "The Best Life for Coquettish Women" and "Tai Ping Wheel (Part 1)" that are within the coverage of "Interstellar", the pressure is huge!
Liu Yifei has been really happy these days, happily "ordering" Lin Nan every day, day and night!
"Are you going to the premiere?"
Miss Liu asked Lin Nan with the invitation letter from "A Coquettish Woman Has the Best Life".
Logically speaking, Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming’s movie should be given a face, but this movie was produced by Huayi.
Lin Nan thought about it and refused. If you really go and support the show, you will probably see all kinds of messy artists and scenes, which is terrible.
“Forget it, let’s go to the cinema and give them two movie tickets.”
"Okay, brother Xun also said that she would act in this movie. She has broken through the screen image. What a little woman, how to act coquettishly to please, pretend to be innocent..." Liu Yifei said with a smile.
Lin Nan was also happy. This is like a "female brother" telling you that she can actually be very "girly".
Suddenly, Lin Nan remembered another serious matter: "Sissi, do you want to go to Hollywood with me next month?"
Hearing this question, Liu Yifei tilted her head. After thinking for a while, he smiled sweetly at Lin Nan:
"Why don't I go? You won't be able to stay there for a few days anyway. I'll wait for you to come back? Then in January and February When the time comes, I'll go with you again.
You don’t even know that recently, my brands have come to inquire about my itinerary more and more frequently. They are all here for you, Director Lin. They want me to avoid missing the Golden Globe, Berlin, and Oscar, and follow you everywhere. Again. Hee hee..."
……...
On a new day, the entire film and television industry was shocked by Pony's big news.
Use "It's your own fault, "Unable to live" is a perfect way to describe the current top management of Galloping Horse.
The eldest sister-in-law and sister-in-law who had just succeeded in "usurping the throne" at the beginning of the month have only been the chairman and general manager of such a huge company for two weeks. It is about to face insolvency and bankruptcy liquidation because CCB Culture officially filed a lawsuit with the court, requiring Pony Galloping to immediately fulfill the gambling agreement and repurchase the shares at a premium
The scale of funds required to repurchase these shares is as high as 635 million in cash!
The industry knows very well that even if the entire Galloping Horse Group is sold, it will not be enough to make so much money, not even one-third!
My colleagues in the film and television industry know very well that Galloping Pony is doomed. Big Dog Brother’s twenty years of hard work has finally come to an end.
At this moment, everyone is watching the pony galloping.
It is no longer the industry giant, competitor and partner it used to be, but the fat on the chopping board, the kind that can be cut with a knife!
Lin Nan was sitting in the office, having a video conference with Wang Changtian, Ye Ning and Wang Wei.
Everyone in the industry is sharpening their skills, so we can’t fall behind, right?
A former film and television giant has fallen, but it can feed a group of people. The reality is so cruel.
"Tudou can contact Xiao Ma. We only want their TV series and movie copyrights. We don't want bad movies and TV dramas or buy them cheaply." Lin Nan gave instructions.
"We don't have any contact with their films that have been produced but not yet released, or the shares of films that they participated in investment?" Wang Changtian asked doubtfully.
“Yes, “The Taiping Wheel (Part 1)” will be released in December, there are also “The Taiping Wheel (Part 2)” that has not yet been released, and the youth film “The Year in a Hurry”... In addition, Xiao Ma also has The priority investment rights for many domestic and overseas film and television projects were left by Big Dog Brother and Zhong Lifang."
Ye Ning listed them one by one, looking quite moved.
Wang Wei didn't say anything. These matters in the film and television industry should be left to the three major shareholders. He was only responsible for negotiating the buyout with Xiao Ma.
“No, it’s not good to be alone. We won’t touch those movies that haven’t been released, or the priority investment rights in film and television projects.
Of course, if Wanda and Guang Guang are interested, you can contact them privately. But my advice is to be cautious, the risk is too great. "
Lin Nan said whatever he thought in his heart. The people in the circle are probably all thinking about "Taiping Wheel"!
"Then I'll listen to you. "
"Okay. ”
Wang Changtian and Ye Ning nodded one after another.
"Then I'll have someone contact Xiao Ma?" Wang Wei then asked.
"Well, as soon as possible."
Lin Nan had asked people to inquire about the number and information about the copyrights of film and television works owned by Xiao Ma. It was really tempting, and there were so many high-quality products!
After ending the video conference, Lin Nan stretched.
What he asked Tudou to buy was probably the least valuable thing for Pony on the surface, but it was also the most valuable thing.
...
The Golden Horse Awards have officially opened, and many mainland filmmakers have flown over.
Although this is just a small year for movies over there, it is still very popular, just because of the internationally famous Gong Li!
This "Gong Huang" won the Venice Best Actress at the age of 27. The films she participated in won the Golden Bear, Golden Lion, Golden Palm, and countless other Best Actress awards.
She enjoys this kind of treatment, which is not excessive. It can only be said that she deserves it.
News from the Golden Horse Group comes back to the mainland from time to time, but the mainland is more concerned about the film market because the Lunar New Year season is about to kick off.
"Interstellar" took in a box office of about 88 million on the sixth day, and just over 82 million on the seventh day, marking a full week of release!
Media from all walks of life are rushing to report on the box office results of "Interstellar" in the first week. This number has silenced the film industry.
"Produced by Warner Bros., directed by Nolan, starring Matthew McConaughey, Liu Yifei, Jessica Chastain and others, the US$150 million science fiction masterpiece "Interstellar" was released first in China This week, the total box office revenue was 712 million!"
"According to industry analysis, "Interstellar" will very likely exceed 1 billion in box office performance in the mainland film market."
"So far, "Interstellar" has earned a total box office of 450 million US dollars in the global film market! It will continue to make great progress in the future..."
"Liu Yifei served as the heroine of an S-level production for the first time, and the box office results are gratifying!"< br>
……
For things like endorsements, of the same type, you can definitely only sign one type.
Negotiate contract renewals in advance, poach new brands, choose new high-end luxury products...
Hongxingwu has been really busy these two days, because there are so many brand invitations.
But Liu Yifei’s approach is to focus on being good but not too much, and strictly limits the number of endorsements.
So the team can only do exhaustive research, comparing one by one to see whether it is suitable, whether it matches, and how advanced it is...selecting the best among the best.
When Lin Nan came back, Liu Yifei was answering the phone. It was from Hongxingwu. It seemed like a two-year contract worth tens of millions of dollars!
“Rich woman, can you support me?”
"Keep your voice down, I'm on the phone. Here, there is rice bought by my mother in the kitchen. I'll cook it myself when I'm hungry."
Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows at Lin Nan with a arrogant expression.
Lin Nan vaguely heard laughter coming from Miss Liu’s cell phone. It was obvious that the female assistant couldn’t hold it back.
"Oh, you are mocking your boss's fiancé. Be careful that your year-end bonus will be deducted tomorrow because you enter the gate of Hongxingwu with your left or right foot, haha..."
Hear Liu Yifei also laughed at Lin Nan's words, and "getting angry" grabbed the bear pillow on the sofa and threw it over.
"How can you be so joking, haha..."
Lin Nan smiled and put the pillow back in his hand. He did not disturb Liu Yifei from answering the phone, but sat next to her.
Five minutes later, Miss Liu hung up the phone and turned to look at Lin Nan.
"Okay, it's finally done. But I will be very busy in the first half of next year, and I have to shoot a lot of commercials."
After saying this, Liu Yifei went to Lin Nan He leaned forward and pretended to have a "fierce" tone:
"You still want to eat soft food? Humph, don't even think about it! You first ask our dad if he agrees."
Okay, Lin Nan has nothing to say. Liu Yifei's "our dad" refers to the one who has a daughter-in-law and forgets about his son.
"Okay. I don't want to eat this soft food anymore."
Tightening the person in his arms, Lin Nan smiled.
“I’m joking with you, can’t you tell?”
Lifting her head, Liu Yifei puffed up her cheeks, and her delicate face gave people the impression that they could be broken by blows.
"Of course I can hear it. But no matter how delicious the soft rice is, it won't taste as good as you, right?"
"I'm not doing my job properly again, hehe... …”
………
The next day.
Inexplicably, the Internet is full of news about Hong Kong stars coming to Beijing, and they are all celebrities who have been famous for a long time.
The mainland entertainment industry is still a bit unclear, so what’s going on?
Until Weibo’s hot search came out, the mainland’s film and television and entertainment circles were only an afterthought.
No wonder the entire Xiang family is here!
The once-generation of film and television tycoons in Hong Kong are gone.
Again, when it comes to life, Xiang Weisheng is much better than his brother, which is a pity.
“Once one of the symbols of Hong Kong, Yongsheng Film has long been a thing of the past. Unexpectedly, even the most important among the founders is gone now.”
Wang Changtian was quite emotional. After all, many well-known movies were produced by Yongsheng and produced by Xiang Eisheng.
"I said Mr. Wang, why are you free to come to my company today?"
Lin Nan leaned on the chair and looked at Wang Changtian opposite and asked.
The other party hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "I want to say that I just came back from Pony and passed by you. What do you think?"
At this moment, Lin Nan had a guess in his mind:
“You don’t want to make that movie, do you? Director Wang, don’t seek death!
My original advice to Director Han was not to invest, but he didn’t listen. You're rushing to do it right now...can't you?"
Lin Nan is still a little worried. If Wang Changtian takes over, he will cry to death later.
"To tell you the truth, I came up with this idea. But the two sisters are so stubborn and have brain problems.
Director Han said that he hopes that the two parts of "Tai Ping Wheel" combined will exceed 2 billion. They also It’s really blocked!
It’s a comeback in terms of the box office and global copyrights after the movie was released. Oh, and the movie "The Year in a hurry"."
"So. You said, buying the copyright for Tudou will take a lot of effort?" Lin Nan reacted.
He is staring at "My Brother's Name is Shunliu" and "I Am a Special Forces Soldier"... These TV series and movies are very coveted. After all, they are Xiao Ma's hard work for more than ten years!
"It should be about the same. Hua Yi and the others were also rejected." Wang Changtian nodded.
"It's okay, there are only a few days left, just wait." Lin Nan said pointedly.
“How many days has it been?”
“The release of "The Taiping (Part 1)" is less than two weeks away.
I never believe in Hong Kong Island The director can make an epic, but he can’t even make a historical film, so why make an epic?”
Lin Nan spoke bluntly and in a rather contemptuous tone.
