Chapter 824: Filming Permit, Conspiracy Theory...
The establishment of a blockbuster movie always attracts the attention of the entire film and television entertainment industry.
Alibaba Pictures' "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" fully meets all the requirements for a big-budget film.
With the conclusion of the project establishment press conference, this movie naturally dominated the film and television entertainment headlines and Weibo hot searches, and it was in the limelight for a while!
Not to mention how excited fans of the original work are, anyway, the film and television industry is already restless.
A large number of press releases and posts appeared all at once, all promoting and building momentum for various actors and stars.
The purpose is very clear, it is for the online voting starting on the 15th!
Sitting in the office, looking at the various drafts on the Internet, Lin Nan couldn't help but want to laugh.
The male actors are a little better, not so naked;
But the female team is very direct, each one uses their own artist as a benchmark in "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" 》The heroine.
Who has a very similar personality, is a fan of the original work, is closest to the heroine, looks and figure, temperament and aura...
“In the past, when casting movies, actors were all about pleasing the director and the producer. This time it’s rare, the actors I need to please netizens and fans."
Yue Jun sat opposite Lin Nan with a joking look on his face.
“But speaking of it, Ali is indeed decisive. This film "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" really follows their production model, with the fan market as the first priority.< br>
And the two co-directors are indeed big names in the film industry, and they have never been in the position of film director!
One is a special effects director and the other is a cinematographer. In addition, although Zhang Yibai, the producer, is a film director, he is not a big director... It is indeed what Ali said: making movies does not require a professional director! "
Listening to Yue Jun's somewhat emotional and complaining words, Lin Nan smiled and nodded:
"No one but Qian Duoer. "
"Huh? Haha... Director Lin's words are so insightful! ”
After chatting for a while, Lin Nan and Yue Jun talked about Chen Kaige’s gossip again.
Director Chen Da also refuses to admit defeat. Today he took the crew to Shanghai University to hold a meeting and continue to promote the movie.
As for why you went to Shanghai University? The media had told the entire film and television industry and the entire Internet the reason an hour ago:
In the morning, Chen Kaige officially accepted the appointment letter from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics and will serve as the dean of its film school.
And he also promised in front of dozens of media at the scene:
He will not be an empty dean, but will step onto the podium; he will also develop film talents for the school in the future Training plan, writing teaching materials...
Listen, Dean Chen's tall image as a senior in the industry was instantly established!
Even now, the scolding of him on the Internet has become a little bit quieter, and there is a little more affirmation.
"Director Lin, that "Flower Thousand Bones" has been a complete hit. Zhao Liying is firmly on the front line, and it is a sure thing.
When are you going to meet them? Let’s meet and talk about the studio.”
Hearing Yue Jun’s question, Lin Nan frowned subconsciously, “Then let’s inform them at the end of this month.”
"Okay, Director Lin."
…………
From the outside world, although Er Dongsheng's "I Am a Passerby" has only been released on the third day, it has already hit the streets for nine years. into nine.
In this case, many big-name celebrities in Hong Kong and Taiwan stepped forward to help him.
Liang Chaowei, Lin Qingxia, Shu Qi, Liu Dehua...
Even if there are these people helping to promote and shout out, it is easy to know that there will be no ripples in the end.
In the afternoon, Lin Nan also went to the theater to watch the movie. All I can say is that a movie starring an ensemble cast is really unattractive.
Because he only bought one ticket, but he enjoyed the almost exclusive treatment, it was really deserted to the extreme.
On the 5th, it ended in a hurry.
To be honest, Lin Nan felt that there should be "movement" about "Operation Mekong" at the film bureau.
You can't, let him call the ministry to urge you, right?
The next day.
Movie information on the Internet still attracts the attention of the production industry; although Lin Nan Pictures is making money, it does not prevent colleagues from cursing.
"On the third day of its release, the animated movie "The Return of the Great Sage" grossed 72.2 million at the box office; after the three-day opening weekend, the total box office reached 210 million..."
"Lu Yang The director's film, "Spring Knife 2" grossed 48.2 million at the box office on its third day of release, with a three-day revenue of 146 million!"
"The daily box office of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" continues to fall, with 30.11 million reported yesterday, and a total of 97.64 million in the first three days of the weekend...
""I'm Not a Passerby" has been in theaters for three days, with a total box office of 10.18 million, and the film schedule rate I'm afraid it will be cut off again..."
"The youth-themed movie "Gardenia Blooms" will be released in 4 days. Whether it can break out of the siege, let us wait and see..."
...
The two films of Lin Nan Films grossed a total of 356 million in box office in three days, accounting for 73% of the total box office
This kind of dazzling data is inevitably envied by the film industry, and even Wang Changtian called him.
“I said, if things continue like this, the two movies together will probably have a box office of over 1.5 billion, right? In just 3 days, it has already reached 356 million, and within half a month, the box office has already exceeded 1.5 billion. There are no competitors!”
“Dong Wang, you don’t have to be so sour, right? It’s not good to say things too early and too early!”
“You still don’t believe me. ? "
"I don't believe it. It's obviously 2 billion, but you said 1.5 billion, which is 500 million short! Haha..." Lin Nan joked seriously.
"You...be careful to hold you to death." After hearing Lin Nan's words, Wang Changtian immediately said angrily.
But the next second, his tone became much gentler:
“Your two movies have helped me a lot.”
"Stock market?"
Lin Nan reacted instantly.
Today is Monday, and Big A is still diving.
But Ray's stock seems to be quite "tenacious", jumping between red and green several times.
Although it is also green at the moment, the falling speed is really very slow, and it can turn around from time to time; on the big green screen, it is really a bit dazzling!
"Well, the higher the box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Xiu Chun Knife 2", the higher the distribution commission of Light; the more profitable the group's business, the stock market will naturally respond..."
"Then, give me a discount on the issuance fee. If Ray's stock price falls by one yuan less, it will be hundreds of millions."
"Haha, it's impossible. I'll give you a percentage of the company's issuance. It’s the lowest.”
Just when Lin Nan was about to refute Wang Changtian, there was a knock on the door.
“Okay, when Yifei and I get married in a while, it’s okay to double the red envelope, right?”
“Well, of course that’s no problem. Okay, don’t bother me and get busy. , I heard a knock on the door. Send the invitation as soon as possible..."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan looked at the door of the office and shouted: "Come in."
The assistant walked in with a strange expression on his face. Still with some doubts and confusion.
“What’s wrong?”
“Director Lin, we just received a call from the Film Bureau. He said that we should go get the filming permit for "Operation Mekong" tomorrow.
< br>
But wasn’t this script just rejected a few days ago? We have never sent the script to the film bureau again, and neither you nor Director Yue gave any instructions..."
The assistant looked at Lin Nan with a blank look on his face and said. Is the boss laughing?
Lin Nan was laughing, it was so funny, he was so angry.
He had also speculated before about how the film bureau's review department would solve this problem.
It was just a matter of business. Notify Lin Nan Pictures to modify the script and resubmit it;
Either find a middleman to make peace, admit defeat, and let Lin Nan Pictures submit the original script again without any changes.
But he never expected that there would be a direct notification without even saying hello, asking the company to get the filming permit?
A bunch of old guys pretending to be dead and confused? When they wrote back the script before, it never happened? Covering one's ears and stealing the bell?
"Director Lin? What about this?"
"I understand, please get out."
Lin Nan waved his hand and ordered.
It wasn't until the assistant walked out of the office and closed the door that Lin Nan couldn't help but curse:
"They are really a bunch of old ruffians and old gangsters! They are so decisive and shameless. It seems like , I don’t have any ideas yet?”
Lin Nan could guess what those people were thinking:
Anyway, the filming permit has been approved for you, it’s up to you whether you take it or not. . If you don't get a filming permit, you won't be able to register it. If the filming is delayed, that's your own business. As for the slap in the face when you fight back at the front and issue the certificate later? Let's just beat him. Anyway, outsiders only know that it was the film bureau that did it!
"Is this a bet that I can't do anything to you? I won't accept the filming permit now!"
Lin Nan muttered cursingly. It is definitely important to get it, but he has to give it to these people. Find something to do.
…………
On the 7th, it was around eight o’clock in the morning.
Lin Nan was originally going to sleep in, but Liu Yifei woke him up because his cell phone kept getting calls.
The reason is caused by the news on the Internet.
Many people in the industry were shocked and immediately called Lin Nan to find out what happened.
On the fourth day of its release, "The Return of the Great Sage" earned 72.03 million at the box office; "Xiu Chun Knife 2" took in 46.09 million;
"The Taoist Descends from the Mountain" fell by 30 million , reported a revenue of 28.64 million; and the worst "I Am a Passerby" only had a revenue of 2.56 million, and it is estimated that it is not far away from death.
It is not the box office information that is making the film industry noisy. It was reported by the media and came from the official website of the Film Bureau.
"According to the official website of the Film Bureau, the public list of film shooting permits for this batch shows: "Operation Mekong", submitted for review by Lin Nan Pictures and directed and written by Lin Nan, is on the list! It's confusing!"
"It is reported that , a few days ago, the movie script "Operation Mekong" has been clearly rejected by the film bureau's review department..."
...
Many people in the industry have a "sceptical" attitude. The Film Bureau’s official website looked through today’s announcement documents.
The result is exactly as reported by the media, it is simply incredible!
The public announcement document that the script was reviewed and rejected, as well as the public announcement document that the filming permit was issued today, both documents contain "Operation Mekong"!
At this point, not only the film industry has been talking about it, but also people on the Internet are not overly concerned about the excitement. After contacting the violation of the "Taoist Descending the Mountain" and passing the trial, a "conspiracy theory" speculation was launched. Let's get to the bottom of it...
"Operation Mekong" directed by Lin Nan is a main theme movie, why was it rejected? And why was the filming permit suddenly issued? This interval is wrong too! Like someone who jumped in line?
