Chapter 756 A blockbuster co-produced by Juli Pictures?
"Wolf Totem", "Heavenly Army", "Up to the Sky", "Macau 2", "Zhong Kui Conquers Demons: Snow Demon Spirit"...
Several domestic blockbusters After waiting for the moment and gathering momentum for a long time, it finally landed in theaters across the country in the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The most brutal Spring Festival battle of the year has officially begun!
At the same time, Hollywood has also entered the warm-up stage for the Oscars ceremony, which is also full of people.
In the morning, after Liu Yifei took her assistant to do some business, Lin Nan was not idle either.
The number of New Year greeting calls, text messages, social messages and Weibo messages from China can simply overwhelm him.
Many of them had to be answered personally to show respect.
After all, this is a human relationship and etiquette that comes and goes during the Spring Festival, and it cannot be ignored or treated too perfunctorily.
“If you want to wish me a happy new year, hurry up. I’ve been answering phone calls all day and I’m very tired.”
Lin Nan said to Ning Hao on the other end of the phone, with a teasing tone.
"One day? It seems that everyone has been calling you since New Year's Eve last night. In Hollywood, it is indeed from morning to afternoon.
But it is understandable, who What if you are the newly-minted Golden Lion and Golden Bear director? There are only three of you in the entire Chinese film industry!"
Lin Nan curled his lips and joked silently: "This kind of flattery, I've been tired of hearing this in the past few days, can you give me something new?"
"Ah? I still want to hear people flatter me like this, are you tired of it? ? It’s really like drought and waterlogging. ”
When Ning Hao heard this, he immediately cursed. But in the next second, he changed the topic and said New Year greetings:
"Taking advantage of the New Year, I wish you and Yifei a successful Oscar ceremony in a few days.
Also, let me tell you some good news. On the day you got the Golden Bear, Huanxi was officially relisted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. But this news was completely suppressed by You, and..."
Listen. Upon hearing Ning Hao's words, Lin Nan instantly became energetic and he quickly searched on the tablet next to him.
On the 15th, I was happy to hear that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange officially resumed trading and the shares began to circulate.
On the 17th, Tang De Pictures, a company owned by Fan Bingbing and Zhao Yanzi, was successfully listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. They both appeared at the listing ceremony and spoke at the same time.
Of these two companies, one was a backdoor listing, with a market value approaching tens of billions on the day of resumption of trading, and finally fell to 8.9 billion;
the other was an IPO, and the market value soared to about 15 billion on the day of listing. .
Two new capitals in the film and television industry have officially met with the industry.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a new year and new atmosphere. We haven't seen each other for a few days, and Director Ning's net worth has skyrocketed by more than ten to two billion! I have to wish you a good New Year, remember to support me when you come back, I wish you..."
"Haha, why do I think you are mocking me? Besides, the ban has not been lifted yet."
"Aren't you also showing off, Director Ning? Haha..."
Lin Nan continued to joke, but actually felt quite emotional.
The film and television industry has really entered an era where capital is blooming. The film and television industry will become more and more interesting in the future.
After chatting with Ning Hao for more than half an hour, several phone calls did not come in. Lin Nan was too lazy to call back and just replied via text message.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yifei came back.
In one day, she worked with her team to decide on the dress and style for the Oscars red carpet and awards ceremony. Now we are waiting for that day.
“I also met the domestic media today. They were inquiring about the red carpet and awards ceremony. They also asked me if I knew about Tom Hanks’ new movie. They said that Huang Shengyi will be with him this year. He collaborated on a Hollywood blockbuster.”
Liu Yifei changed into home clothes and talked about today’s events with Lin Nan.
"Then they asked the wrong person. Basically, neither of us cares much about this."
Lin Nan replied to Liu Yifei without raising his head. He was reading the message from Happy Mahua.
The review of "Charlotte Troubles" encountered some problems and was rejected the day before yesterday.
Just like the problems that Yan Fei was worried about before, some lines and scenes in "Charlotte Trouble" were required to be modified.
"Huh? Do you want to delete it?"
Liu Yifei came to Lin Nan's side, looked at the messages on the tablet, and asked.
"If you don't delete it, don't change it. After deleting it, the taste will be weak. After we return to China, I will communicate with the above and ask the Children's Bureau for help."
Lin Nan decided, and edited a message to reply. Gave it to Yan Fei.
The film industry is like this. Auditing can be accommodating. The bigger the director, the more he will be taken care of, unless it is sensitive content.
But Lin Nan disagreed with Chen Kaige's "accommodating" result of retaining the role of Prince Long!
Because this is no longer "care", but a disregard for rules and social impact. Public opinion will definitely explode by then!
…………
The domestic film market has once again made Hollywood salivate.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year and the Spring Festival, the single-day box office of the movie market exceeded 300 million, approaching 400 million.
"Heroes" topped the box office with a first-day box office of 120 million, contributing one-third of the market.
On the first day of its release, "Wolf Totem" grossed 33 million at the box office. It received an overwhelming reputation and ranked first among film critics! It is foreseeable that the film's schedule and daily box office will continue to rise. As for other movies, it's really hard to describe in one word.
The variety show film "Where Are We Going, Dad 2", which was criticized by most of the industry, lost the ferocity of the first season movie and simply fell into the dust.
The performance of "Up in the Sky" was mediocre, and fewer and fewer mainland audiences are interested in Hong Kong films.
The most controversial movie is "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demons: Snow Demon Spirit" with an investment cost of 200 million.
The box office revenue on the first day was 64 million, and there was a lot of criticism on the Internet.
A large number of negative movie reviews can be summed up in one sentence: The special effects of Tiangong Colors are good, but the plot of the movie is extremely bad, and it is indescribably bad! I can't see Chen Kun's acting skills at all...
For the mainland film and television circles, the Spring Festival is still going on, with celebrities making various announcements and programs, and entertainment information is quite rich.
The four New Year specials of "Running Man" have also started to be played. Other variety shows are even more incomparable.
But at this time, some media’s attention and lenses have turned to Hollywood.
After all, in less than three days, the Oscar awards ceremony will begin.
In this year's Oscars, not only is Lin Nan vying for the Oscar for the second time with "Manchester by the Sea";
Huang Shengyi, who has been highly hyped by domestic public opinion and has been widely announced, will appear at the Hollywood Independent Film Festival and Academy Awards ceremony.
The latter will join hands with Tom Hanks on the red carpet of the Academy Awards, and the two will collaborate in a Sino-US co-production blockbuster as the leading actor and actress.
For the media and film and television entertainment circles, if the co-production project mentioned by Juli Pictures is true, then Huang Shengyi will be the third mainland Chinese to serve as the heroine of a Hollywood blockbuster after Liu Yifei and Jing Tian young actress.
In addition, Juli Pictures even made some hype at noon on the 19th, touching on Lin Nan’s topic:
"The company's artist Huang Shengyi and his team have set off for Hollywood this morning, looking forward to witnessing Director Lin Nan's trophy-winning moment at the Dolby Theater... This will be a grand event for Chinese filmmakers..."
In fact , many media and celebrities have also set off for Hollywood, including Zhang Ziyi, who just got engaged.
For actresses, no one will be absent from the annual Oscars red carpet without any reason. This is also a very rare resource. The premise is that the way celebrities get invitations is not to keep them out of the spotlight or on the stage.
…………
After 5 months, the preliminary preparations for "The Great Wall" are almost 80% completed.
So in the past two days, Legendary and Universal have written about this project in Hollywood.
Because this movie is bound to receive "strong support" from the Chinese market, unlike other Hollywood blockbusters, which may be targeted or given "special care" in the world's second largest film market. Go at a less popular time.
"The Great Wall" was so popular in Hollywood that Lin Nan even received a message from Warner Bros. asking about "Pacific Rim 2".
"Lin, this is the red carpet arrangement for "Manchester by the Sea". Leon will rush back from the set on the 21st, the morning of the day after tomorrow. After a day's rest, preparations will begin on the morning of the 22nd..."< br>
Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan looked at the notice sent by the organizing committee and nodded.
"Yes, I understand. When the time comes, Yifei will separate from us and go to meet Nolan and the others in advance. You can make some more arrangements. No, you can take someone to follow her there in person." Lin Nan instructed.
"Okay, Lin, no problem. But having said that, you are really an outstanding husband. Haha..."
Hearing Tom's words, Lin Nan's expression froze. , I am used to hearing this guy flattering Liu Yifei, but at first I heard that he was flattering me, and I was a little uncomfortable!
"After attending the Oscar ceremony, Sissi and I will return to China. Within this year, I will most likely not come to Hollywood again. Please keep an eye on the company's affairs. If there is anything else For important things, call me.”
“Hey, just because you don’t come to Hollywood, doesn’t mean I can’t go to China! Aren’t you and Crystal going to have a wedding this year?
When I met James before, he was still asking me if you would send out wedding invitations in Hollywood. "
What Tom said really reminded Lin Nan. At that time, he will have to compile the invitation list from Hollywood.
"There will be him. ”
……
In a blink of an eye, Hollywood time has arrived on the 20th.
The climax of the awards season is finally about to usher in the last dazzling fireworks, which is the ultimate sublimation and release.
At the same time, Liu Yifei also had many more phone calls.
It was either a call from Hongxingwu, or someone from other domestic insiders.
Everyone was well versed in the strategies of "pillow style" and "lady's route", leaving Lin Nan speechless.
“When they call you, they can only say a dry blessing and be more careful when joking; but when they call me, they can talk about other things and enhance the relationship. So, Director Lin, you It’s time to thank me. I’m a good wife!”
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan with a arrogant smile. The calls just hung up belonged to Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun and others.
