Chapter 792 "Operation Mekong"
In the morning, Zhang Ziyi and Wang Feng officially announced the news of receiving the certificate. It was like a bomb thrown into the pond, and the entertainment industry was fried on the outside and tender on the inside!
Countless insiders and netizens did not expect that this time the international chapter would actually be played. Is it true? !
Think about it, before, she and the Hollywood guy got engaged and talked about getting married, but didn’t they break up in the end?
So this time many people were waiting to see the joke about the International Chapter and Wanglei Pants, but today’s result slapped everyone in the face.
At this time, exactly three months had passed since Wang Feng proposed to Zhang Ziyi during the Berlin International Film Festival. This speed of progress is not unsatisfactory!
“The Internet is full of news about them, and they are still posting on Weibo to show off their affection. It’s funny, her eldest brother is still so yin and yang.
But it’s a bit too much, Even if he doesn't like the man, he won't say things like 'it's only a matter of time before we break up' or 'one day he'll regret it'? After all, she's his biological sister!"
Zhu Yawen holds it! On the mobile phone, he was browsing the news with great interest, chattering and joking.
“Is this a marriage ceremony?”
Lin Nan saw the photos sent by Hong Kong media. Zhang Ziyi and Wang Feng were registered on Hong Kong Island. In all the photos, International Chapter has a slightly protruding lower abdomen!
"Well, I am getting married by my son, no wonder I am in such a hurry."
Zhu Yawen said with certainty, because this piece of information has become a hot search.
"You haven't said yet, why did you suddenly come to see us today? Is it to get a meal? Or is there something else?"
Liu Yifei was holding a small cup of ice cream. , sitting on the hanging basket swing, asked while swinging.
After hearing this question, Zhu Yawen immediately put down her gossip and became serious.
“A movie has contacted me recently, but it’s quite strange. So I came to consult with you, Director Lin Da and Producer Liu Da, and take a stroll by the way.”
“ Why is it weird? The script is good and the salary is enough. What else do you need to think about?"
Lin Nan said casually because Zhu Yawen is not the kind who cares about celebrity status and cast position. People, scripts and characters are what he values.
"Yes, what can I ask about this?" Liu Yifei put a full spoonful of ice cream into her mouth and nodded in agreement.
"Listen to me first, it's like this: This movie is controlled and invested by Huayi, and the role given to me is very unique, a bit girly... Hey, what are the looks between you two? I'm talking about the role. !"
Zhu Yawen glared at Lin Nan and Liu Yifei with joking smiles, and then continued:
"It was Ye Ning who negotiated the contract. Yes, it’s Wanda.
As one of the producers, shouldn’t we try to reduce costs? He actually agreed to my studio’s offer and even offered me a 20% increase. It’s over 10,000 yuan! But there doesn’t seem to be Wanda as an investor in this movie..."
After saying this, Zhu Yawen looked at Lin Nan. Because he knew that Lin Nan and Ye Ning had a very good relationship and had been partners for many years.
"There is no Wanda Ye Ning but she is one of the producers?" Even Liu Yifei was a little curious.
"What movie is it specifically? Tell me." Lin Nan asked.
“It’s said to be Wen Zhang’s film debut, called “Lu Yao Knows Ma Li”. I played a very distinctive second male lead, but the pay was definitely the highest among the crew.”
“Hua Yi Ning controls the investment, and Ye Ning is one of the producers?"
Lin Nan muttered, sighing in his heart, thinking of something bad.
"Don't think too much. Isn't it a good thing to increase your salary? In the industry, the salary is the same every day, and no one will think you are getting more!"
"I thought he was looking at you. What about face?" Zhu Yawen spread her hands, with a tone of plausibility but uncertainty.
"Me? Then just think it's because of me. Haha..."
...
Zhu Yawen didn't stay for lunch, he left at 11 noon I left most of the time.
But not long after this guy walked away, Lin Nan received another call from Yue Jun.
It is said that Noon Sunshine has sent the first-round copyright sales contract for "The Pretender", and that the distribution will be paid this month.
The broadcast times of the two TV series "The Pretender" and "Nirvana in Fire" have also been decided.
The former is a latecomer and will be broadcast on August 31st, while the latter will be broadcast on September 19th. The two TV series were only aired 20 days apart.
After thinking about it, Lin Nan called Ye Ning near noon.
As Director Lin expected, Zhu Yawen's matter really had something to do with him.
"I just want to make extra money. If someone asks me to be a producer, I will go. Director Wang and the group also know it.
That Western Movie's "The Story of Rivers and Lakes" "Sword Record", the script is very good, "use the yamen's money to make your own connections".
Isn't Zhu Yawen yours? It's only about one million, which is completely within the budget, haha. ..."
Lin Nan felt that Ye Ning's words were half-truths, but he didn't say anything. Because as the latter said, it is indeed only a million or so.
.........
It has been a week since Lin Nan returned from Bangkok and she has had a good rest.
So, after having breakfast early on the 12th, he plunged into Tiangong Color and started the post-editing of the film.
At the same time, a team from Tiangong Colors was also busy producing the few special effects shots in "Detective Chinatown". As for the outside world, Marvel's imported blockbuster "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron" has also officially landed in theaters across the country and begun its public screening!
...
When the post-editing team gets tired, Lin Nan will go back to the office to rest, and at the same time do another thing...drawing shots.
Since the completion of "Manchester by the Sea" at the beginning of last year, he has not made any more movies for a whole year.
But he was not completely idle. He perfected the outlines of two scripts he had prepared the year before.
One is "Detective Chinatown" which has just finished filming and is currently in post-production, and the other is "Operation Mekong" right before our eyes!
Lin Nan feels that this police film with the main theme adapted from a very influential real event has much greater practical significance than "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom".
“For a movie with the main theme involving borders and transnational conflicts, which companies should we find to co-produce when the project is established... This has to be carefully calculated. We can’t be careless!”
Lin Nan looked at it The script on the desk still had half-finished shots, and I couldn't help but mutter.
Suddenly, he remembered the two phone numbers and a business card he received in October 2013.
I remember that as one of the producers of "New Police Story 2013", he and the crew went to a department under the Ministry of Public Security... When he left, he was given a phone number and a business card by people from different departments. .
"The Propaganda Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, a department under the Ministry of Public Security, and the Golden Shield Film and Television Center under the Ministry of Public Security!"
Lin Nan's eyes lit up. It seemed that he could no longer care about the General Administration this time? You can even make a joke with the children's bureau and let the old guys in charge of review get stuck on the script?
“That’s it!”
In a moment, “Operation Mekong” had two producers, namely Lin Nan Pictures and Golden Shield Pictures.
…………
The box office result of 186 million on the first day declared that "Avengers: Age of Ultron" is another imported blockbuster with a box office of 1 billion+.
And its 95.4% daily box office share also blatantly illustrates a problem, that is, all domestic films are struggling to eat the 4.6%, which is no different from "begging".
The third written invitation letter from the Magic City International Film Festival was sent to my home. The first two letters were sent to the company by someone from the bureau when Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were in Bangkok.
And this third letter came directly from the Magic City, asking Lin Nan to be the award presenter!
"How to reply? Agree?"
Liu Yifei looked through the invitation letter and asked Lin Nan. It seemed that she had no other option but to agree.
"Yes, agree and reply to them by email. It's just a simple matter."
Lin Nan said lazily, half lying on the sofa.
He had been staring at the computer screen editing the film for a whole day, and now his eyes were very sore and sleepy.
I don’t know what Liu Yifei was thinking, but she just gave Lin Nan her own facial mask to use, just because the mask can cover the eyelids, make it cool, and feel a little comfortable?
"Oh, by the way, I have to instruct them to take all the movies that will be released in the second half of the year to the Magic City International Film Festival for promotion. If you want a better exhibition area, it will be my labor fee."
Listen When Lin Nan said this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Well, I will send a message to Senior Brother Yue Jun and let him arrange it."
After saying this, Liu Yifei thought again I learned another thing and reminded Lin Nan:
"It seems that the filming of "The Great Wall" is over halfway, and the crew has opened a visit to the industry. Director Zhang invited us before, do you want to go and see it? Again From now on, we will go to Hong Kong Island and Shanghai."
Lin Nan immediately remembered Miss Liu's reminder.
"You have to go and see it. I heard that "The Great Wall" is the first movie in the world to be shot with an ALEXA65 camera as the main unit! Gee, the equipment is the latest and most top-notch!"
Any professional Commercial film directors cannot refuse the latest film shooting equipment.
Lin Nan remembered that Ning Hao used the new equipment to fool him and asked him to visit the studio, and finally took the shot of Jing Tian!
"Let's go together? The location is at Huairou Film and Television Base, and the special effects are at Qingdao Oriental Film Capital, not far away."
Lin Nan opened his eyes and looked sideways at Liu Yifei. Miss Liu's mask is indeed quite comfortable when applied on her face.
"Hmm...Okay!"
Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows and agreed.
…………
Hua Yi.
"Lin Nan is selling again, with a total of more than 1.2 million shares sold in three days. And from the looks of it, there is no stopping trend, does it mean that he wants to clear his position?"
Wang Zhongjun was a little unhappy after hearing Wang Zhonglei's report, but he had nothing to do.
"This matter must be kept secret and not spread out. The group is only less than 13 billion away from the threshold of 100 billion..."
Wang Zhongjun's words Wang Zhonglei understands the meaning!
If news comes out now that Lin Nan is clearing his stock and leaving the market, as a top capital in the industry, he has Golden Lion, Golden Bear, Golden Globe, Oscar director... This will definitely have a great impact on Huayi of!
For Huayi, the names of the Hundred Billion Group and the Ten Billion Group are completely different!
Once it reaches 100 billion, it will be a completely different level. There will be a lot of convenience in the market, and at least the trust of investors will be doubled!
"But there is no guarantee that Lin Nan will not leak the news..."
Wang Zhonglei's words instantly turned the atmosphere in the office into a dead silence.
