Chapter 928: Start up; have to go back to your hometown...
Wang Zhonglei’s eccentric response to the rejection of the extension key application for "The Secret of the Dragon", and the fact that he took the opportunity to promote "Old Paoer" has spread in the industry .
From the perspective of the entire film industry, the smell of gunpowder in the Lunar New Year film has long been intense;
And Wang Zhonglei’s behavior has made it so explosive that it is about to explode at the first moment.
The result of direct provocation is to face the encirclement and suppression of three movies, namely "The Secret of the Dragon", "Bad Angel", and "Detective Chinatown"!
Who knows that these three movies are produced by Lin Nan Pictures and Enlight Master Control, and these two companies are also the producers of "The Secret of the Dragon" that Wang Zhonglei shunned.
Lin Nan only saw online news reports after she heard Liu Yifei talk about it after returning home.
How to say it? "Old Pao'er" is really crazy over there? Just because Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng have huge fans, and the movie promotion effect is so good that it explodes?
Director Lin Da feels that it is better to take action:
Continue to increase the promotion of "Detective Chinatown" and add a promotional release for "The Secret of the Dragon";
Well, I'll go to the premiere of "Bad Angel" on the 20th. Try your best to keep the box office of "Old Paoer" to the lowest possible level!
......
"Co-produced by China Star and Bona Pictures, with a production value of up to 500 million yuan, the large-scale mythological masterpiece "Legend of the Gods" was officially completed this morning. "
"It is reported that the movie "Legend of the Gods" took more than seven months to complete, and its creative lineup is considered to be the top Chinese film:
The starring actors include Jet Li, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Yang Ying, Louis Koo, Liang Jiahui, Xiang Zuo, Wen Zhang, Xu Qing, Zu Feng and other powerful celebrities are all on the front line.”
"At the final press conference, China Star Chairman Xiang Qiang and Bona Chairman Yu Dong once again emphasized that they will present a truly epic mythological masterpiece to the industry and the audience.
The two were at the press conference In the face of numerous media, they jointly announced: From now on, "Legend of the Gods" will enter an intense six-month period of post-production and special effects lens production;
The movie "Legend of the Gods" is scheduled to be released next summer vacation During this period, the specific release time is yet to be determined!”
The weather outside has suddenly cooled down, and a cold wind is blowing now.
While waiting for the meal, Liu Yifei had nothing to do, leaning on Lin Nan's arms and scrolling through Weibo.
Not to mention the Hong Kong scene, a large number of actors and celebrities in the mainland are cheering for "Legend of the Gods" co-produced by China Star Controller and Bona.
On Weibo at this time, at a glance, a large number of people in the industry were forwarding and reposting on Weibo to congratulate the success of the project.
The momentum of this movie has truly been built to the extreme, attracting the attention of the entire Internet.
Although it is still unknown what the level of the plot and film production is, the purpose of publicity has been achieved;
And with the luxurious cast, the popularity and topic volume are so high It is destined to remain high and even explode.
Lin Nan rested on Liu Yifei's shoulder and joked with a smile:
"One thing can always be believed, that is, historical movies and traditional mythological blockbusters produced in Hong Kong will always be 'trustworthy'!" "
Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and complained: "Is your 'trustworthy' the serious 'trustworthy'? "
"Ci'er is a serious Ci'er? , As for whether the script and the movie are honest, it's hard to say. Haha..."
"You are making fun of this again, hehe..." Liu Yifei was amused and rubbed her face against Lin Nan.
"Celebrities are so profitable these days. A popular star is worth a small listed company. No, even the man who used to know both black and white in Hong Kong... is also trying his best to praise his son. It's really interesting."
...
For two days in a row, the temperature in the capital has continued to drop, reaching four or five degrees above zero. This is what winter is like.
As of now, the total box office of "The Secret of the Dragon", which has been in theaters for 15 days, has officially exceeded 1.712 billion, and yesterday's daily box office was still 40 million.
In the eyes of many people in the industry, the second domestic movie with a box office of 2 billion may be just around the corner.
What makes "The Secret of the Dragon" break the 2 billion mark is uncertainty, perhaps because it didn't get the extension key, followed by "Villain Angel" and "Old Paoer", which had a direct conflict with it for four days; in addition, , the further a movie goes, the faster its daily box office will drop.
On the morning of the 13th, two Spring Festival movies, "Macau 3" and "Journey to the West: The Monkey King Three Fights the Bone Demon", held promotional conferences in the capital at the same time.
Faced with invitations from two Hong Kong film crews, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei both declined.
However, it can be clearly seen that the mainland film and television circles are more enthusiastic about "Three Strikes of Bone Demons" because there are many actors from the mainland in this movie!
“Originally, I wanted to go there to support you, but it was too far away and I was too lazy to move. Haha...”
Lin Nan drove the car and answered the phone. On the car radio, when Gong Li was answering reporters' questions at the press conference, he lowered his voice to a minimum.
"This is a low-cost movie, and they don't dare to expect Director Lin to take the time to come. If he does come, he will waste your time." Yan Fei smiled and complimented.
At this moment, there were reports in the film and television information on the Internet, and the industry was also surprised because Lin Nan was there again.
"The comedy movie "Donkey Gets Water" of the same name, controlled by Happy Mahua and co-produced by Lin Nan Pictures and adapted from an original drama, started filming in a low-key manner at the Pinglu District scenic spot in Shanxi this morning."
"It is reported that the film is a low-budget film, and all the actors are from the drama stage. The leading actors are members of the original drama cast and graduated from the Chinese Opera... little known."
...
In the eyes of many people in the industry, Lin Nan's investment in a low-cost film adapted from a play is purely to help newcomers. In other words, it’s a waste of money!
After all, it is not easy to get a second part of "Charlotte", not to mention that the star of "Charlotte" is also a regular guest at the Spring Festival Gala, so she is still somewhat famous.
But what about this "Donkey Gets Water"? Without exception, all the actors have "amateur" faces, and almost no one knows them!
"This involves the concept of 'responsibility'. As a leader in the industry, it is necessary to support newcomers. After all, Lin Nan is also a 'senior', which is good for his reputation."
China Film, Han Sanping was joking with Ren Zhonglun, Zhou Xingchi was laughing with him, only La Peikang was lukewarm because he had just been yin and yang by Ren Zhonglun. The sentence "If Shanghai Film Group is the producer of "The Secret of the Dragon", I will definitely go to the bureau to beat the table" sounds very nice, but if it really happens, who knows whether Ren Zhonglun will do it? Right now, it's all just talk!
"Since Assistant Director Han has returned, shall we let her accompany him for the next promotion?"
Zhou Xingchi looked at Han Sanping and invited him kindly.
"Yes, yes. It's not good to stay at home all day long. Let her run around with the crew."
Of course Han Sanping will not refuse. Currently, "Mermaid" is definitely the most anticipated and popular among the Spring Festival movies;
Han Jia'v, the assistant director, follows her around for promotions, which is of great benefit to her.
"I don't know if "Mermaid" will get an extension when the time comes. I think the box office will not be bad..."
Zhou Xingchi's seemingly joking words, The three people present fell silent immediately, with different expressions on their faces.
……
After signing the year-end bonus document, Lin Nan leaned on the chair and stretched. The whole morning was all about expenses. Of course, this is what it should be.
"This year's annual meeting has its own rules. I will not attend; you can do whatever you want and have fun."
"Director Lin, is this inappropriate? You haven't attended in several years. It’s the New Year’s Eve party, our profits have doubled this year.”
While joking with Lin Nan, Yue Jun signaled that the finance department could leave first.
“The annual meeting is on the 2nd, but I have to go back to my hometown. Let’s stay home longer this year and come back after the year to prepare for the Oscars.”
Lin Nan's tone was soothing, as if he was talking about something that had been planned for a long time.
Hearing this, Yue Jun suddenly realized: "Oh, I can't wrap my head around it! Newlyweds have to go home during the Lunar New Year, haha..."
Director Lin did not speak. Just smile and keep nodding, that's the truth.
……
When I got home in the afternoon, the temperature outside seemed to be approaching freezing. Maybe you can see snow in these two days, but the probability of not seeing it is very high.
After parking the car and arriving at the villa next door, Lin Nan could smell the smell from afar, it was the smell of steaming hot pot.
Liu Yifei directly treated Liu Xiaoli to a treat - Shu Chang, Han Jia'v, and Tang Yan were the "gang"!
“Oh, Director Lin is back. Here, please take a seat.”
Good guy, long time no see, Han Jia Nu really doesn’t regard herself as an outsider?
"Director Lin." Tang Yan greeted with a smile.
Liu Yifei held the shrimp in one hand and pointed at the chair next to Lin Nan with the other hand, still occupying it in her mouth. And Shu Chang is a foodie. He is simmering meat and staring at the pot.
""The Young Lady" has been stopped again?"
"Are you taking two days off? I just happened to be back with Luo Jin; Alibaba was filming in a studio, so the weather didn't affect it."< br>
Unlike Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, Tang Yan is also a "desperate Sannyasin", with many drafts and many drama appointments;
But relatively speaking, she still seems to be less popular than Yang Mi Crazy over there.
"Here, chopsticks."
"Oh, by the way, the premiere of "Detective Chinatown" is on the 28th. We will start sending out invitations tomorrow, so you should save your schedule."
Lin Nan sat down, took the chopsticks from Liu Yifei, and told Tang Yan and others at the same time.
"No problem, Director Lin."
"Hmm, hiss...it's so hot!"
"Don't worry. I'll give myself a holiday in the past two months before the new year. I'll be here whenever I'm called. Don't even think about it after the new year... Well, Changchang, you're getting old..." Han Jianu went off track again mid-sentence.
"Eat mine."
Liu Yifei gave Lin Nan the food she had "saved" in her bowl; she raised her eyebrows with a proud expression on her face.
"Well, you have to be the person you sleep with, so I'm welcome, Sissy."
Lin Nan smiled and praised, and Liu Yifei smiled even more arrogantly, This is what she wants. She looked like she was expecting others to praise her, how stupid she was. Well, you can't see it from the outside.
"Hey, I just want to eat, and I still have to be spoiled by you. Tang Yan, you should call me Luo Jin..."
Shu Chang pretended to have goosebumps and complained. With.
"I just pretended to be blind." Classmate Xiao Han followed.
"Maybe Luo Jin will be here soon? I told him. Judging by that, he should come over after turning off his phone!"
Tang Yan said embarrassedly, she just forgot I mentioned this to everyone.
"Okay, I'm too talkative, and I need more dog food."
