Chapter 733 New Capital
The Internet has not calmed down yet, and Xiao Wang is still fighting.
But "One Step Away" has completely fallen to 513 million, which is "out of reach" from the original goal of starting at 1 billion and sprinting to 2 billion.
In many film and television entertainment news headlines or hot searches, eye-catching words such as "Jiang Wen is conceited" and "myth shattered" have appeared, and the number of clicks has soared.
In general, it is because "Let the Bullets Fly" is so excellent and has such a great reputation that it has left a very deep impression on countless audiences and movie fans.
So much so that by comparison, "One Step Away" seems to be a "big bad movie".
After all, Jiang Wen had nearly blown the world away before. He was so full of words that the audience's expectations were infinitely raised by him.
After everyone entered the theater, they were dumbfounded. Is this it? What is this?
It would be damned if everyone's negative emotions weren't high right now. Even the loyal fans are silent because they really don’t understand!
In the morning, Lin Nan left the first film press conference of "Army of Heaven" midway.
After returning to the company, he was still lamenting that these media reporters were simply crazy.
It was obviously a press conference for a movie, but all the questions they rushed to ask were about Prince Long, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Shanghai Film and Huayi were even more ruthless and simply canceled the media question session.
A reporter still persisted in questioning Jackie Chan, and then his microphone was snatched away. The press conference immediately became chaotic.
"Director Lin, there are rumors that Director Li An is returning to China to attract investment for new films?"
Lin Nan glanced at Yue Jun and couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't the news in the circle a little too late? And it's not accurate!"
"Could it be fake?"
"It's not fake. But where is he trying to attract investment? Is he so high-minded in trying to attract investment?
He is giving 'charity' to these swindlers, so that they can have the opportunity to rush to give away money. , so that I can participate in a Hollywood movie project!"
Yue Jun and Lin Nan have worked together for many years, how could they not hear the ridicule and sarcasm in the latter's words, and he was very surprised for a while.
"A few days ago in Hollywood, he came to see me. But I didn't take the initiative and gave him the idea of returning to China."
At this moment, Yue Jun completely understood that he was not optimistic about Li An. ’s new movie!
After such an interruption, Lin Nan suddenly remembered Ren Zhonglun's appearance when he saw him more than two hours ago.
Is there something wrong with Chairman Ren Da’s expression at the beginning? It wasn't until the press conference officially started that there was a hint of "forced smile".
Is it possible that you have already had a confrontation with La Peikang?
If this is the case, then you can understand that you are definitely feeling unhappy and angry after falling behind!
Yue Jun stayed in Lin Nan's office for a few minutes and then returned to the third floor, where auditions were still going on piecemeal.
Director Lin Da remembered what happened to Ma Chun yesterday, and immediately called Jiang Wenli.
“Director Lin?”
At this time, Ma Chun was at Jiang Wenli’s home.
Hearing her aunt's voice, the latter immediately sat up straight on the sofa and listened with her ears straightened up.
"Sister Wen Li, Director Guo Fan said that he has chosen Ma Chun. His evaluation is quite good:
The acting skills are good, better than many professional actors of the same age. Very suitable for modern dramas, It is very malleable and is like a piece of rough jade.”
Hearing Lin Nan’s words, Jiang Wenli laughed out loud:
“Thank you so much to Director Guo for this comment. I can't afford it. Also, I have to thank Director Lin for giving her this opportunity.
Another day, Director Gu and I will host and invite Director Lin and Yifei to get together..."
A few minutes later, the call was hung up.
Jiang Wenli looked at her niece with a happy face, He also smiled and nodded:
“Are you relieved now? I have recently adjusted my status and am ready to join the group at any time.
If you act well, there will be a second chance if you cooperate for the first time. Lin Nan Pictures likes to use familiar people. ”
"Yeah. Auntie, I've been preparing. I won't be perfunctory."
…………
December is coming to an end, and there are only the last two days left.
The flight of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei is scheduled for January 7th.
They will leave for Hollywood 5 days in advance to prepare for the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
At the same time, the call from Noon Sunshine came too late. It was only at the end of the month that the role could be decided.
"For the core cast, we have used some of the leading actors from the previous "Nirvana in Fire". The other main roles were selected through re-auditions.
Lin Nan answered the phone at home and looked at the tablet An email from Sunshine at Noon - casting list and resume!
“When are you planning to start filming? ”
“Early next month. ”
Lin Nan was stunned when he heard this time.
The interval between casting and filming of a TV series is less than two weeks! Isn't this a bit rushed?
Perhaps sensing Lin Nan's surprise, Hou Hongliang specifically explained:
"This is the schedule arranged by the Chedun Film and Television Base. Don't worry, Director Lin, Director Li Yue will be fine. Yes, we are ready for everything."
Okay, the other person said so, and Lin Nan stopped worrying about this issue.
"Hu Ge, Jin Dong, Liu Mintao, Wang Kai, Song...Yi?"
Looking at the actresses who looked familiar but couldn't remember them on their resumes, Lin Nan's tone unconsciously became higher.
"Director Lin knows Song Yi? She is a drama actor with a background in Chinese Opera."
Only after hearing the reminder, Lin Nan remembered that she had gone to the Chinese Opera to promote "The Genius Gunner" I recommended it there.
“I’m not familiar with it, so let’s leave it like that. Director Jiang will handle the production of this TV series, and Producer Hou will just contact her later.”
"Yeah, no problem."
Lin Nan didn't mention the change of actors, so Hou Hongliang wouldn't talk too much and look for trouble.
Actually, it's not that Lin Nan forgot about it, it's just that he really doesn't like it. The core protagonist of "The Pretender" is the "Four Brothers and Sisters of the Ming Family". Shanhai Media did not have suitable actors, and he was even less interested in the supporting roles.
……
In the afternoon, the sun is bright and warm, just right.
Liu Yifei and Lin Nan sat side by side in rocking chairs, leaning against each other and basking in the sun.
"Teacher Cao Baoping has submitted "The Murderer" for review."
Miss Liu was wearing women's sunglasses and shaking the tablet in her hand for Lin Nan to look at.
Director Lin Da said softly "Yeah" and said lazily: "I know, the company invested in it."
After taking a glance, Lin Nan saw not only the report of "The Murderer", but also "Wolf Warrior".
No wonder Liu Yifei keeps pushing him, it turns out she is just showing off!
"Wholely produced by Lin Nan Pictures, written and directed by director Cao Baoping, the new script of the movie "The Chaser" has been submitted for review.
Director Cao Baoping said that he will start casting immediately Matters to prepare for the start of the movie..."
"It is invested by Hongxingwu with an investment of 80 million, directed by Wu Gao, starring Wu Gao, Yu Nan, Scott Adkins, Ni Dahong and others.
The military-themed action movie "Wolf Warrior" passed the review of the Film Bureau today and was issued a release permit! "
"Co-produced by Xinghui, China Film, Shanghai Film, and Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Zhou Xingchi, starring Deng Chao, Lin Yun, Zhang Yuqi and others.
With an investment amount of up to 300 million, the sci-fi comedy and romance film "Mermaid" is open to the public for media inspections..."
"The third part of the "囧" series, "Hong Kong", is open for inspections starting today. Activities..."
...
Lin Nan rowed for a long time, all the movie information.
The two movies "Mermaid" and "囧" can be opened for exploration, which means that they are about to be completed.
“Ah, Xie Nan called!” Liu Yifei said in surprise, then answered the call and turned on the external voice.
“I’m free now, do you want to buy me coffee?” Liu Yifei said jokingly.
"Producer Liu is really telepathic. I'm just here to treat you to coffee. By the way, is Director Lin here, together?"
"He? He's right next to me. He's very free."
"Then let's come out and get together. Our old Mr. Wu is fixing the schedule."
As expected, thank you Nan is calling for business!
Lin Nan nodded to Liu Yifei, who immediately replied: "Wait, we will be there in a moment."
……
Bona, in the chairman's office, Fatty Yu is not in a good mood at the moment.
First he was beaten by Shanghai Film Group Corporation, and then he was warned by China Film Group Corporation. He did not dare to think about Li An's "Radio Lynn's Midfield War".
What made him feel angry was that Cao Baoping actually released a new film here without communicating with Bona at all!
He originally thought that after "prying" Cao Baoping, he would be able to cooperate with him from now on, but he didn't expect that the other party would go back to find Lin Nan. Isn't that just intervening in the casting and production?
“How long will it take for China Star?”
"Dr. Yu, it will probably take more than half a year. In addition to a lot of pre-production design such as styling, costumes, scenes, etc., it will also take a lot of time to negotiate with so many big-name actors and adjust their schedules."
"Well, more than half a year, more than half a year. Please hurry up as much as possible."
"Okay, Director Yu. But, Director Yu, will this investment cost? Too high? Neither China Star nor we have this experience!”
“There are only a few directors in China who have experience directing films with investment costs of 300 million or more, including Lin Nan, Zhang Yimou, and Jiang Wen. ...Can they come? No worries. This kind of movie is mainly about special effects, but the story has a ready-made template for adaptation!"
Yu Dong pointed to his secretary confidently. .
…………
On the last day of December, which is the last day of this year.
On the National Day holiday more than two months ago, Ning Hao, the fourth great director in the 1 billion box office club in the Chinese film industry, finally met the entire film and television industry as a "capital".
As soon as the news came out, everyone in the industry was shocked.
“The original Hong Kong listed company 21 Holdings was officially renamed Huanxi Pictures after being jointly acquired by three individuals and partners, Dong Ping, Director Ning Hao, and Director Xu Zheng.
After several months of restructuring, Huanxi Pictures officially submitted an application for resumption of trading to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange today..."
Major media, portals, news headlines, and Weibo hot searches are all filled with this news, and countless circles People are stunned.
There are only four directors with a box office of 1 billion, and Huanxi Pictures has two of them!
In the eyes of many people in the industry, this company has It's a backdoor listing, but it really shouldn't be underestimated.
Just because it has two original shareholders, Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, directors of the 1 billion box office club, Huanxi Pictures is not inferior at all in terms of momentum. For those medium-sized film and television groups that have been listed through IPO!
Backdoor listed companies like Hairun were simply crushed by Huanxi Pictures!
"Mimi, this promotion method is only suitable for big directors, because they are potential capital, and once promoted, they will be at the top..."
...
" Congratulations, Director Ning. "No, Director Ning!"
"What? I am currently an independent director. I will remove it later and will not participate in Huanxi's operations, nor will I continue to hold any position." My bad monkey is just like your identity on Weibo
Of course, far less than you. Am I right, Lin Dahu? Hahaha..."
Ning Hao said this, but Lin Nan could still hear the uncontrollable excitement in his tone.
Working in the film and television industry, how could it be possible? I don’t want to become capital. If I can’t become capital, I can only be a tool and a worker for the rest of my life!
“By the way, how much money do you have now? I look at the market value of Weibo. It seems that it has increased a lot since its listing. "
"Curiosity killed the cat, Director Ning! ”
