Chapter 793 Cinema? There should be; Visiting Team
"Co-produced by Xinghui, China Film, Shanghai Film, and Lin Nan Pictures, and directed by Zhou Xingchi, the science fiction comedy love movie "Mermaid" has officially been released."
"After three years, after "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons," director Zhou Xingchi's film will once again compete for the Spring Festival, and the release date will be February 8." In 2019, it remains to be seen whether the former can use "Mermaid" to fight back against derogatory and humiliating remarks such as "layman" and "judges know more about movies than they do"? Recently, I reduced my holdings of Alibaba Pictures shares at a high level and cashed out 1 billion..."
...
Lin Nan did not participate in the negotiation of the "Mermaid" schedule. This release time was unilaterally set by Xinghui and notified to several producers.
Facts have proved that Zhou Xingchi must be holding his breath in his heart. After all, he is not a clay figure.
What's more, he was cheated out of money by Hua Yi, and was later severely humiliated by Wang Zhonglei in front of the entire media.
Lin Nan moved his eyes away from the news page and continued working on his own shots.
At this time, Yue Jun entered the office.
“I feel a little sympathetic to director Wang Xiaoshuai. I heard that his movie “The Intruder” has not had a film schedule higher than 2% since the first day it was released.
Posted yesterday After writing a statement asking fans to support and denounce the theater chain's "murder", today's film schedule was directly cut to 0.5%!"
Hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't help but raise his head, a little bit. Surprised:
“It’s a bit like that. Normally, 8% to 10% is not too much. Director Wang is also an internationally renowned director, and this film even competed for the Golden Lion Award last year. .”
"Director Lin, the development of the industry is a little different now than before." Yue Junyi pointed out.
"What are you talking about?"
Lin Nan put down the pencil in his hand, smiled, and looked at Yue Jun with interest.
“In the past, the output of movies was not high, especially movies by big directors. They had appeal and influence and could control the downstream theaters. Just like directors Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou.
But The industry has developed very fast in the past few years. The number of theaters and film output have skyrocketed every year. Even bad movies can make money! Therefore, the theater chain, which was originally the downstream of the industry, has begun to move in the opposite direction. ”
"The opposite trend?"
Lin Nan muttered and nodded, it was indeed the case.
Most production companies and ordinary directors have begun to succumb to the film schedule in front of theaters, or at least lower their posture. What happens next?
“Academies are going against the trend and starting to enter the production field. This is much easier than a production company getting involved in theaters! When the movies produced by the theaters compete with the movies of the production companies, Which movie has the advantage?”
“So?”
Lin Nan could already vaguely guess what Yue Jun was going to say. At this moment, he really wanted to send another red envelope to the teacher at the School of Management!
"Director Lin, we have to be prepared for danger in times of peace, or take precautions."
Yue Jun finally said what he had learned from Wang Xiaoshuai's incident today. He felt that it was very necessary. Tell it and remind Lin Nan.
“Cinema, theater chain?”
“Yes, it’s a theater chain.”
Lin Nan was silent for a moment, then looked at Yue Jun and smiled:
"Actually, I have thought about it...but now is not the time...the theater chain is a big money maker...it should be there."
…………
Guo Jingming’s “Grand Trail” has officially announced the starring cast, which has attracted the attention of countless people in the industry, and a large number of fans online are even more enthusiastic and restless.
Fan Bingbing, Wu Yifan, Chen Xuedong, Chen Weiting, Lin Yun, Wang Yuan... This lineup is undoubtedly luxurious!
The industry also knew for the first time why Guo Jingming was able to invest in LeTV Pictures, because the latter is the producer of "Grand Trail".
This movie can be considered a typical example of a movie that has completely exploded on the Internet before filming even started.
It’s just that Guo Jingming and Zhang Zhao’s slogan of “striving to be comparable to “The Lord of the Rings”” instantly caused ridicule in the circle. It’s really funny!
"Yang Mi took the initiative to lower the salary, which is the same as in the first film."
Walking in the Nortel campus, Lin Nan could see many students wearing bachelor's uniforms walking in twos and threes. Taking graduation photos playfully.
It used to be like this when he graduated as an undergraduate, but after graduating from graduate school, it became much more deserted because the classmates were not familiar with each other at all.
“She’s pretty good at being a good person, but what about this “Grand Trail”?”
“She won’t make a cameo appearance until “Love in Seattle 2” is completed.”
< br>Xue Xiaolu said with a smile. She is different from other directors at Nortel in that she can use students from her own school as much as possible.
"The filming will start next month. I wish Sister Xue good luck with the filming. Should I choose courses first?"
"I thought you came to me after choosing your courses and haven't chosen your relationship yet? Then go quickly. Since last year, those students have been eagerly waiting for you!"
Xue Xiaolu endured Lin Nan couldn't help but make fun of her.
Director Lin Da came to school in the morning to book elective courses. It will be opened on the school intranet in September for students to choose from.
"Well. Sister Xue, I'll see you later."
Lin Nan smiled and waved, walking towards the academic affairs office of the school, not the directing department.
...
After finishing his business, Lin Nan didn’t stay at school or go to the company, but went home directly.
He made an appointment with Liu Yifei to visit the crew of "The Great Wall" in the afternoon. The two of us took a stroll and took a look around.
"Guangguang called Hongxingwu. The box office distribution of "Wolf Warrior" will probably be at the end of this month. They will keep urging the theaters."
Seeing Lin Nan, Liu Yifei was very happy to share the good news she had just received.
"278 million, Mrs. Liu! Have you prepared extra red envelopes for Wu Gan and Xie Nan?" Lin Nan asked. He remembered that Liu Yifei had said before that if the movie made a profit at the box office, she would give Wu Dan and Xie Nan another red envelope.
“Yeah, no more, no less, give them the 8 million.”
Liu Yifei’s performance was quite impressive. You must know that on this basis, Wu I have already received double salary from the director and the starring role!
“It’s good. The motivation for him to make a sequel has been strengthened.”
"This is the truth. But I heard from Xie Nan that in Wu Gan's plan, the scale of the next movie may be a bit big, and I don't rule out that the budget will double several times."
Liu Yifei flashed her beautiful pair of His eyes looked at Lin Nan with a smile, and there was a hint of showoff in his eyes.
"Whatever, just follow along. Is it possible that you can still get all the money you earned from "Wolf Warrior" in?"
Lin Nan followed Liu Yifei's thoughts and said, she was determined to do so. I have an idea and continue to invest!
"Hehe, listen to you... I told Xie Nan the same thing."
...
At noon, Huang Shengyi was scolded and became a hot search topic.
It seems that Yang Zai’s elder passed away. The media took photos of Huang Shengyi and his son wearing sackcloth and mourning at the funeral.
This matter is nothing at all in the film and television industry, but it is a big deal online.
Because for so many years, Huang Shengyi has always denied having a special relationship with Yang Zai, and has emphasized countless times that the two are just simple bosses and entertainers.
She even mentioned her criteria for choosing a spouse many times in interviews with the media, and talked about her desire to find a boyfriend.
Now it’s good, the character of the yellow girl who is full of lies has been completely destroyed in the public’s mind. No wonder it can lead to such a big drama in Hollywood!
Not only that, countless netizens with powerful skills also uncovered many "clues", and after connecting them, they came to a conclusion:
That is, this "star girl" of that year "There is a high probability that he got to the position through an improper identity, which is simply awesome!
On the other hand, from the perspective of the film and television entertainment industry, Huang Shengyi is completely done with it from today on.
Even in the third-tier artist team, it is estimated that she will never be seen again. Because she has been covered with negative labels, her popularity on the Internet has disappeared.
"To be honest, this day has been doomed ever since she was instigated by Yang Zai to file a lawsuit with Zhou Xingchi."
Lin Nan parked the car outside the villa yard and leaned against him Liu Yifei joked at the car door and walked over with a bag.
"There is also gossip in the group. Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin and others are gloating more than the other."
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and complained.
"Okay, let's get in the car. Let's go to Huairou Film and Television Base. I brought a camera."
Hearing that Lin Nan brought a camera, Liu Yifei immediately became energetic;
Although her selfie skills are not very good, she still likes to take pictures. There are only eight words for the reason: stinky and arrogant! This is what Liu Xiaoli said since childhood.
......
Zhang Yimou had invited Lin Nan several times before to visit the crew of "The Great Wall" when he was free, and Lin Nan and Liu Yifei also promised that Matt Damon would go. As for the visit, today is a one-time commitment.
If the crew were to shoot special effects scenes in Qingdao Oriental Movie Capital, then Lin Nan and Liu Yifei would have to set off in the morning, because it would take six or seven hours to drive there.
But fortunately, the crew was filming exterior scenes at the Huairou Film and Television Base for the past two days. It is very close, right in the capital.
When we arrived at the place, the assistant was already waiting outside with the crew of "The Great Wall".
If the crew does not come out to pick them up, then Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and their assistants will have to buy tickets to enter. The most important thing is that the place is hard to find!
"Director Lin, Producer Liu." Zhang Yimou's assistant greeted.
Many cast members, tourists, and extras who came in and out looked at Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and others from a distance, especially the actors, with fiery eyes.
“Are you starting work at the moment?”
“The afternoon scene has just started filming, and there are quite a few people from the industry who came to visit the set today.”
“Huh? Besides the two of us, who else is there?"
Lin Nan was a little curious, but he could figure it out.
After all, "The Great Wall" is the largest investment blockbuster directed by a domestic director so far, and it is a foreign language film!
There are definitely no shortage of filmmakers in the industry who are curious and longing.
"Director Chen Kaige..."
"Director Lin, what a coincidence."
Zhang Yimou's assistant had just reported Chen Kaige's name, and before he could say the second As he was saying his name, he was interrupted by a distant voice.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei heard the sound and looked behind them. They were people from Hong Kong. Are you here to visit "The Great Wall" too?
"Director Wang, what a coincidence. Are you here? "Macau 3" shouldn't have been filmed here, right?"
The person coming here is the Hong Kong director who is most familiar to mainland audiences. , screenwriter, actor, Wang Jing!
"No, "Macau 3" is still working on the script and will start shooting in the second half of the year. Aren't I here to visit the crew of "The Great Wall" and pick up stories by the way? Director Lin and Producer Liu together?"
< br>Wang Jing obviously knew Zhang Yimou's assistant and had already guessed the purpose of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's trip.
"Then let's go together. Let's go in quickly. There are more and more people watching here."
Lin Nan glanced around, tightened Liu Yifei's hand, and the two of them were about to go inside.
Wang Jing and his party hurriedly followed the footsteps. Such a large group of people walking in the Huairou Film and Television Base was extremely conspicuous and eye-catching.
