Chapter 909 A meaningful script; Chinese drama promotion...
After a vigorous promotion, the imported blockbuster "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay (Part 2)" was finally officially released early this morning. .
But at noon, the news came out on the Internet, which immediately made the industry sigh.
Because this movie is exactly what Lin Nan expected before:
The attendance rate was ordinary and uneventful, even half of that of "007: Specter" a week ago There is no momentum at all;
And the ending is already foreseeable: I guess the final total box office will be about the same as Yang Mi's "I Am a Witness".
Afternoon, the colors of heaven.
The two special effects shots of "Operation Mekong" have been completed, and Lin Nan and Ning Hao took advantage of the opportunity to edit them into the finished film.
At this time, the post-production of the entire film has successfully reached the last third.
This is the benefit of having an additional great director to help, the efficiency has more than doubled!
"To be honest, I won't thank you, I will only thank that sister.
Because without her, you wouldn't think of coming here to 'hide debt' in the name of helping me with post-production work. ! Hahaha..."
Leaning on the office chair, Lin Nan stretched and smiled wildly. The employees in the distance paid no attention to him and were all busy with their own tasks at hand.
Ning Hao rolled his eyes speechlessly and did not reply... He was really tired at home.
He sighed and said something else feebly: "Yesterday, someone came to my place to pull..."
"Director Lin."
Yue Jun shouted from a distance, inadvertently interrupting Ning Hao.
"What's wrong?" Lin Nan turned his head and looked at Yue Jun, who was in a hurry.
"Director Lin, I asked around and found that the "In the Name of the People" you mentioned has indeed found almost all the film and television giants in the industry.
But without exception, all the film and television giants in the industry have been interviewed. All film and television companies declined, including some state-owned enterprises such as China Film and Shanghai Film Corporation.”
"So, my wife was right to refuse, right?" Ning Hao muttered with his eyes wide open.
Good guys and bad monkeys have also been found!
Lin Nan shook his head gently: "I saw Mr. Wang at his place the morning before yesterday, and I hesitated for a long time after I came back.
Now it seems that it is indeed forbidden to touch... ...However, Tudou can support me later.”
“Your sister said the script was very good, but when she told me about it, she already rejected it.” Ning Hao spread his hands, feeling a little regretful.
"It's better to refuse, so as to save trouble. Let's go, let's get off work early today, I have to go to publicity tomorrow."
Lin Nan stood up, raised his hand and looked at his watch. Now It's half past three in the afternoon.
"No, I can sit there for a while."
"Haha, I don't care about you, so just do what Director Ning does."
……
In the outside world, news from the Golden Horse Group has gradually taken over, accounting for more than half of the entertainment gossip.
After all, a large number of actors, stars, and filmmakers are gathered there, so it is only natural that it can attract the attention of the media and the entire Internet.
When Lin Nan returned home, interviews with various Golden Horse nominated actors and directors on the Internet were still flooding the screen and being updated.
In particular, reports of Hou Xiaoxian, Chen Guofu and others praising the Golden Horse as "the first Chinese-language award" have spread throughout the film and television industry and the Internet.
Not only that, many Taiwanese filmmakers, actors and stars regard themselves as masters and guide the country, and they show it unabashedly;
The words and deeds of these people, at best, are called Youyouyan, at worst, they even sound "arrogant and xenophobic"! It is exactly the same as when Cai Kangyong and others ran against Huang Bo.
"Teacher Jiao Enjun has arrived in the capital. The news of his arrival in Beijing only stayed on the hot search for less than half an hour before being suppressed."
See Lin Nan's The figure, Liu Yifei, who was lying on the sofa reading the news with a facial mask on, immediately talked about business with a smile on her face.
“Has he contacted Hongxingwu?”
Lin Nan turned off the news page on her phone, took the initiative to sit next to Miss Liu and used her as a pillow, and asked.
"Yes, I have contacted you. Since we are going to do publicity tomorrow, I set the time to meet the day after tomorrow."
Liu Yifei sounded like she was in control and even made a smile. OK gesture.
Immediately afterwards, she took off the mask on her face, revealing her supple and fair skin, "Okay, the time has come."
Lin Nan couldn't help but rub it, and returned it. Liu Yifei lazily rubbed her cheek against her palm... Well, I really want to take a bite... I'd better wait until night.
How can I put it this way? This disappointing thing happens only when you are in a good mood.
No, just when Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were chatting with each other, the phone call came.
I want to refuse the call, but I am afraid that Han Jianu, a stupid young man, will hit her over and over again.
No choice, Lin Nan had no choice but to accept it after Miss Liu urged her with a smile on her face.
"If you have something to say, hurry up and hang up immediately. I got off work early today and came back to rest, classmate Xiao Han!"
"Oh, don't rush like this, I just came to ask a question Question, don’t delay your flirting at home.”
Han Jia's brain circuit is so clear sometimes!
"Then ask quickly."
Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh. The two women were chatting on the phone again.
"Brother Lin, is it especially easy to win awards for realistic movies or screenplays? Even if they are works by newcomers."
A few minutes later, Han Jianyu finally asked Got the real thing she wanted to ask.
Lin Nan couldn't help laughing when he heard this:
"I can't say 'particularly easy'! There are two types of movies, commercial films that please people's body and mind, and literary and realistic films that cultivate emotions, explore human nature, and react. Reality and social issues;
Film is called the seventh art, so most film festivals love literary films and realistic themes, including Hollywood awards.
But even literary and artistic films are the same. Films and realistic themes, if you want to win an award, you have to look at what kind of movie your movie is and what kind of script it is; depth, breadth, influence and other key points are all important.
But as long as it is. It's a good work, and newcomers will definitely be taken seriously regardless of whether they can win the award... Well, I can only say that the chances are high. After all, newcomers also mean freshness in the eyes of the jury. Of course, the film festival just wants to disgust you. Except when ”
Lin Nan's last sentence meant something. Liu Yifei understood and rolled her eyes at him with a smile.
“That means it must have depth, breadth, discussion and even huge social influence... This type of work has the best chance?”
“Well, yes.”
"Wow, hahaha... Brother Lin, just wait, I'm already on the right path! Haha..."
"As a filmmaker, you can't The sword went astray..."
Before Lin Nan finished speaking, the phone was hung up. He wanted to remind Han Jiayu that in order to win awards, many directors and screenwriters chose to go eccentric, wandering on the edge of review, and even touch untouchable materials.
"Is there something wrong with her brain? She's smiling like this?" Lin Nan looked at the hung up cell phone and then at Liu Yifei, speechless.
"Isn't she always like this? She is carefree, laughs when she wants, and scolds when she wants. It's very comfortable to get along with her." Liu Yifei actually said good things for Han Jianu.
Meanwhile on the other side.
Han Jianyu stuffed her cell phone into her pocket and walked into a coffee shop with her backpack on her back. She followed the figure and sat across from a person.
"Brother Lu, I'm sorry. I compiled an outline this afternoon, so I'm late."
"No need to say sorry, I should thank you. Shall we start now? Those years I will never forget the memory in my life. It’s rare that I can spit it out all at once and someone is willing to listen.”
Han Jia’v looked at the serious middle-aged man opposite, and she was infected again. Nodding: "Brother Lu, it's time to start. Yesterday we talked about the third year..."
"Well, it's the third year. At that time, there were already tens of thousands of people in my dozens of groups. There are thousands of people asking me to help..."
Han Jia Nyeo turned on the recorder and kept recording in her hand;
She originally just wanted to write a meaningful script, but she got deeper and deeper... This script must be written well and must be completed. Heart! As for the rest, let’s talk about it, it’s all off topic.
……
The next day, morning.
Among the top ten most searched items on Weibo, three are related to movies controlled by Lin Nan Pictures, and the remaining seven are evenly divided between Golden Horse and other entertainment gossip.
"Co-produced by Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, Wanda, and Enlight, directed by Director Wu Ershan, starring Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Zeng Li, Xia Yu, Liu Xiaoqing, Reba and others;
Adapted from the popular tomb robbing theme The fantasy, action and adventure film "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern" based on the novel "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern" will hold its premiere ceremony in Beijing in four days.
The film will become the No. 1 Lunar New Year film in the mainland film market. Gun officially kicked off the Lunar New Year show..."
"It is reported that this morning, director Lin Nan and producer Liu Yifei personally led the team, including Wang Baoqiang, Liu Haoran, Xiao Yang, Chen He, Along with Zhang Zifeng and others, the comedy, action, and detective film "Detective Chinatown" will hold its first offline promotion event at the China Theater..."
...
Lao Jiang originally wanted to see the information from Jinma, but as soon as he turned on the news, the first thing that caught his eye was the promotional event report of "Detective Chinatown";
At this moment, he felt a slight toothache, A bad premonition arises spontaneously!
"China Opera, China Opera, you two went to China Theater... Soon the school leaders will come to the directing department!"
"Director Jiang, are you going to Where are you going? We have a meeting later."
As soon as Lao Jiang got up and was about to go out to hide, he was asked by another teacher in the same office.
"Go to the toilet. I'll go to the conference room by myself later. If anyone comes to see me, just say I have a stomachache."
"Okay, Director Jiang. Oh, by the way, the department still has something to say this morning. I’m asking, Director Lin, what is Lin Nan’s status? It would be fine if he was just an ordinary professor, but who can he take care of? Give him a student to save face? Don't think about it, how can he bring students with his status in the circle..."
Lao Jiang said angrily, every day, there are always people daydreaming!
As soon as he left the directing department, Lao Jiang saw from a distance several administrative posts in the school affairs office, followed by a school leader heading straight here... He grabbed his cash and dodged them decisively.
……
Chinese opera, drama theater.
The last time Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sat here was probably during the promotion of "Genius Gunslinger".
I came here again today, and the students of China National Theater are still so enthusiastic.
The reason why Lin Nan chose China National Theater as the first stop for promotion in the capital is because Liu Haoran, an amateur in the starring role, is from China National Opera.
As expected, the atmosphere here at China Theater was extremely lively and the students were in very high spirits!
The main creators were sitting on the stage. In addition to nearly 300 students below, there were also many media reporters and school teachers.
Among them, Lin Nan knows several in-service teachers of Chinese opera: Jiang Wenli, Chen Hao...
"To be honest, the movie "Detective Chinatown" is indeed my first It’s a movie involving detectives and comedy.
But now, especially after returning from abroad at the beginning of this year, I can really try it casually, right?” br>
Lin Nan took the microphone and started joking at the scene. There was constant laughter and applause below.
"Director Lin, what we are most concerned about is the box office. This film is your first commercial film after winning the Golden Globe, Golden Bear and Oscar for Best Director. You should have expectations for the box office, right? Yes. How much? "
Faced with this question, Wang Baoqiang, Xiao Yang, Chen He, Liu Haoran, Zhang Zifeng and others also looked at Lin Nan expectantly.
But Lin Nan just smiled and said nothing, because this was the producer's part.
Liu Yifei picked up the microphone, with a sweet smile and a crisp voice:
"For now, he definitely has expectations, but how much he is expecting cannot be said at the moment. You can wait until the premiere next month, and on that day, Director Lin may reveal the box office figures he is expecting. .
But I can tell you my guess first: Director Lin’s box office expectations should not be less than 1.2 billion. After all...has he signed a contract?"
Liu Yifei also made a joke, saying the last sentence was no different than not saying it.
"Producer Liu, this is not a bet made by Director Lin alone, you are one and the same!"
I don't know who shouted, and the scene burst into laughter.
Hearing this, Liu Yifei instantly realized the "mistake" and covered her slightly open mouth with her white tender catkins. She looked at Lin Nan like a child who had made a mistake, with a pair of dark eyes that kept flickering, her expression innocent and her demeanor delicate and naive. .
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
The promotional campaign continues.
An hour later, it was finally time for the students to communicate with the crew, but the first question went astray.
I saw a girl stand up, not looking at Lin Nan, but at Liu Yifei:
"Producer Liu, I would like to ask, when will the casting for the drama version of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" be announced? Will the casting be made public? Do we newcomers who have not officially joined the cast have a chance..."
Liu Yifei glanced at Lin Nan with a smile on her face, the meaning in her eyes was very clear: He is a courageous student, very good!
Lin Nan nodded. Neither he nor Miss Liu were the kind of people to care about things. Since the Chinese opera student was asking, just answer.
Liu Yifei decisively picked up the microphone. At this moment, she was no longer the producer of "Detective Chinatown", but the boss, producer and international top actress of Hongxingwu... In short, she was full of aura. Open, it’s very impressive!
“After the script of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" is reviewed, formal and open auditions can begin, and the production start date will probably be after the year.
In this casting selection, many supporting roles are suitable for young actors in their twenties. Chinese opera is our first choice, you can all come and try it. "
As Liu Yifei's words fell, the scene instantly burst into deafening applause.
"By the way, you can also try it. What's your name? "Liu Yifei kindly encouraged.
"Producer Liu, my name is Kang Keren, I am a second-year undergraduate student in the Department of Chinese Opera Performance..."
