Chapter 990 Now that we have decided to do it, SIPG is ready; "Sky Hunter"
""Pacific Rim 2"?!"
For the entire Chinese film and television industry, today is the most important day There is no doubt that the most important industry information is "Pacific Rim 2", a movie project with an investment of US$165 million.
After two years, after "The Great Wall", the domestic film industry finally has another Sino-US co-production, a global release, A-level production, top resources, and a super big cake!
And it is also the sequel and series of the successful science fiction blockbuster "Pacific Rim"!
what does that mean? This means that as long as the producers and producers do not deliberately mess up or commit suicide, the sequel will definitely be as popular as the previous one and have countless peripherals.
Countless actors and agents in the industry have their eyes shining at this moment, their hearts are anxious and excited, and they are all following it.
Because the road is paved before you, all you have to do is copy it:
On a lower level, there are Li Bingbing from "Transformers 4" and "Resident Evil 5", the supporting role and the female lead No.;
Going a step further, there is Jing Tian from "Pacific Rim" and "The Great Wall", the heroine;
Let’s even look at the top-end configurations—Liu Yifei’s “Inception” and “Interstellar”.
These are all examples, international resources that can make latecomers gain global recognition, become crazy about them, and increase their popularity and influence. They are big Hollywood cakes!
“Comparison of the producer lineup before and after the sequel, Crystal Pictures replaced Lin Nan Film, Western Film replaced China Film, and added Lighting!
Crystal Picture replaced Lin Nan Film It's okay to say that after all, Lin Nan owns 55% of Crystal Pictures; with the addition of light, it's also understandable. But what happened to China Film Group giving up such top-notch high-quality resources? ? Or maybe they were kicked out? Also, why did they not see Shangying? ”
In the industry, not only the actors and stars at the bottom are waiting eagerly, but the film companies and film and television capital at the upper level are also paying attention, but the latter's focus is completely different.
Colleagues often have a keen sense of smell and can spot "big" problems sharply and dig into them thoroughly. After all, China Film Group was "squeezed out", which is really no small matter!
“Have you noticed that from "Detective Chinatown" to "Operation Mekong", China Film's "voice" and "presence" seem to be getting smaller and smaller?
Until "Pacific Rim" 2", China Film completely lost its share..."
The more Wang Zhonglei muttered, the sharper his eyes became, and his expression was faintly shocked and excited. It seemed that he had really discovered the "truth"?
"Just like when we 'dumped' China Film Group Lin Nan, he was doing the same thing? We broke up?"
Wang Zhongjun suddenly realized and asked.
He did not use words such as 'backstab' and 'betrayal' to describe Hua Yi's original behavior, nor did he delve into the differences between Lin Nan and Hua Yi, because how could he be a villain?
"It looks like they are pretty much the same, so they should be done with it. Otherwise, that greedy and overbearing director would never have given up on this kind of film project that is clearly a win-win for both political and business achievements!"
Wang Zhonglei looked at Wang Zhongjun, his eyes bright and his tone excited. Hua Yi and Lin Nan, are we all on the same journey after all? They are both egoists, haha.
For one morning, the domestic film and television industry was in chaos.
The phones at Lin Nan Pictures, Guangguang and Wanda are almost buzzing. The downstairs of the company is even more crowded with media and there are countless entertainment reporters.
Xiying is not bad, it is far away and no one dares to block the door of the state-owned enterprise.
It was just that Ning Ying made a phone call and made Director Zhang of Xiying angrily:
“I cry about poverty and misery every day, but in the end, I am not a human being and I am sneaking around. I made a big one... ok, it replaced China Film and Television..."
Upon hearing this, Director Zhang immediately retorted, saying that Xiying's family and waistband were all staked, and he would go bankrupt...
But in the end he only heard the sentence "Keep pretending, keep pretending." , and the call was immediately hung up.
Director Zhang was quite speechless for a moment. He was obviously telling the truth, but Ning Ying didn’t believe it? We are all brothers in trouble, how come we don’t even have the most basic trust?
“Oh, let’s see if I can’t beat you to death when we meet next time. Your project is very tightly guarded, why don’t you think we’re going to burn the boat to save ourselves?
As the old saying goes, it’s still good. : The last thing I want to see you doing is my brother, haha..."
...
Lin Nan glanced at the cell phone that was constantly buzzing with messages coming in. He was completely indifferent and still lazily leaning on the sofa.
I think Wang Changtian must be very excited, because Guangguang's stock is so bright, and big projects are indeed a powerful tool to stimulate the stock price.
A buzzing sound suddenly replaced the ding-dong sound, and Lin Nan picked up the phone and answered the call.
“All morning, people in the industry have been asking about the casting of Chinese actors in “Pacific Rim 2”. Our unified reply is: We have a plan, but we will not make it public yet...”
Wang Changtian's mood at the moment can indeed be heard in Wang Changtian's voice, which is very good.
"Although the first and second female leads have been decided, we can still squeeze out a few supporting roles, which can be used to share."
Lin Nan thought for a while and said: Wang Changtian said.
To be honest, neither Lin Nan Pictures nor Guangguang, Wanda and Xiying have any actor management business.
So, some minor supporting roles in "Pacific Rim 2" can be used for favors or transactions.
"For us?" Wang Changtian was stunned and asked with a smile.
"Well, I only care about Jing Tian and Reba. For the other supporting characters, Director Wang should contact Yue Jun. The detailed information is in our company, and he is also in charge of Tom..."< br>
"Okay, then leave it to me. Well, I'll go and tell Wanda again, Xiying probably won't be interested."
After Wang Changtian finished speaking, he immediately became excited. Hang up the phone. Lin Nan knew without guessing that many companies in the industry must have approached Guangguang and Lao Wang.
"Director Jiang couldn't get through to you, so he called me here."
Liu Yifei came back from the garden wearing a printed T-shirt and denim skirt, holding a beautiful three-flowered flower. She shook her phone at Lin Nan, with a smile that was self-evident.
"Let her contact Director Wang, and there are a few supporting actors."
Lin Nan smiled and helped Liu Yifei, who was sitting across her lap, firm and elastic, holding her It feels very solid when I wear it.
Both of them are a little lazy. Firstly, they slept too little last night, and secondly, they were bothered by "Pacific Rim 2" early this morning.
"Sissi, I'm going to catch up on my sleep. Do you want to come with me?"
"I'm going to die. It's broad daylight. Last night..."
"I'm just catching up on my sleep. What are you thinking? Are you thinking wrongly? Heh... be gentle..."
>...
Although the two movies "The Great Wall" and "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" gave La Peikang great confidence, seeing "Pacific Rim 2" completely released and the circle A considerable part of the public opinion focus in China was on China Film, which made him feel a little angry.
At this moment, I don’t know how many people in the industry are watching China Film’s jokes and his jokes.
"Director, why are you still distracted? You didn't listen to what Director Zhang just said about the Magic City International Film Festival, right?"
Ren Zhonglun smiled and teased La Peikang, and also told him Awakened from his distracted state.
With so many film festivals and film awards in the country, there are only two that can allow the film bureau to hold meetings. One is the only international Class A film festival in China, and the other is Huabiao.
After three years, the Huabiao Awards were held again this year in the same month as the Shanghai International Film Festival. The awards were only 5 days apart, so today’s meeting was held.
La Peikang glanced at Ren Zhonglun with a disgraceful expression. He knew at the time what the latter meant. He had bad intentions and was evil. "The Shanghai Film Festival is the home of Shanghai Film Festival. Director Ren just listens carefully. But don't be so serious that you can't hear other things..."
La Peikang's vague words made Ren Zhonglun a little confused.
On the podium, Zhang Hongsen has already begun to give instructions about the Huabiao Award. After 3 years, it will be grand, grand and formal...
""Railway Flying Tiger" is under review Right?"
La Peikang lowered his voice, and Ren Zhonglun's expression changed with just one sentence. Those who pay the most attention to themselves are often their competitors!
The atmosphere between the two of them was inexplicably stiff. After a long time, Ren Zhonglun replied: "So what?"
"At the original conference, China Film took the lead in supporting the ban, including when drafting the document, and finally the red-headed document was successfully issued.
Have you thought about the consequences of doing this? You know, "Operation Mekong" should also be released in the second half of the year..."
"Han Sanping and I have argued about similar issues. It can only be said that the perspectives are different and the considerations are different, but since we have decided to do it, Shanghai Film Industry is well prepared."
Ren Zhonglun looked forward and muttered seriously.
"When will it be scheduled?"
"The second half of the year, or the middle of the year."
After a few indifferent conversations, there was no more communication between Ren Zhonglun and La Peikang.
The former mocked the latter, and the latter overturned the former's table, hurting both sides. But things like reporting are taboo and no one will do it.
……
For two days in a row, "Pacific Rim 2" has occupied the top position in film and television entertainment information, and actors and artists are all thinking about it.
However, those who have ideas and dare to covet the starring role are all popular actors and stars who started in the industry;
But it is a pity that several domestic producers and even though they are not producers, they must have something to say. Quan's Lin Nan Pictures just doesn't reveal any information.
Different from Huang Xiaoming who was just excited and excited while holding the report, Yang Ying was regretting: "If I hadn't been pregnant, I would have wanted to compete for a role in such a big-budget movie. Never..."
"Just "Don't Admire Yourself" will do. Don't think too much, my relationship is not that good yet."
Huang Xiaoming's voice was gentle, comforting Yang Ying.
The total salary of 80 million TV series is the treatment that the most popular first-line actress in China deserves; this is the limit that he can promote Yang Ying to, and it cannot be higher unless her acting skills can improve qualitatively. !
"Oh, I'm just saying this with emotion. If we work harder in the future, maybe we will have a chance?"
Yang Ying changed her tone instantly, with a cute smile on her face. She knew very well that from today on, her weight in Huang Xiaoming's heart would reach an incomparable level of importance.
“Work hard? Do you want me to try harder?”
Huang Xiaoming was happy. If Yang Ying wanted to have that kind of resources, he could only work hard.
"Haha, don't put it so bluntly, we don't care about each other."
......
At nine o'clock in the morning on the 6th, Lin Nan hurried After leaving the house, Liu Yifei was still sleeping in.
At early 10 o'clock, after breaking through the heavy siege of reporters downstairs, he was able to enter the company.
The announcements issued by Bona and Alibaba attracted the attention of the entire film and television industry capital circle, causing many film and television industry capital circles to take action.
"Bona Pictures issued an announcement at about 7 o'clock this morning: Chairman Yu Dong personally led the team and arrived at Nasdaq a few days ago;
Bona Pictures has arrived at NASDAQ New York time At four o'clock in the afternoon on the 5th, that is, three o'clock in the morning domestic time today, the privatization process was officially completed;
Bona Pictures will prepare to return to A-shares from now on... The first round of financing is scheduled for In December this year..."
"At about 7 o'clock this morning, Alibaba and Youku issued a joint announcement:
After 6 months, Youku was successfully delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. From now on, Youku, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alibaba, will no longer consider listing matters..."
Five minutes after sitting down in the office, Yue Jun also rushed to the company in a hurry.
< br>"Director Lin, did you really receive it? Is Bona probably picking a target in the industry early on? "
Lin Nan drank coffee and pointed to the invitation letter on his desk with a smile - "Bona Pictures First Round Financing Invitation".
Yue Jun opened it and read it After a few seconds, “Is it really December? Plan to raise 2 billion to 3 billion..."
"When I came, I also made a phone call with Director Wang, and Guang Guang also received the invitation."
Lin Nan knew very well that the development trend of capital is to connect with each other and form alliances. This is what big capital The choice is also the direction of the brutal and stable development of capital.
"So us?"
"I'm not interested, and the same goes for the other side of the light."
Lin Nan is not that ambitious and wants to get involved in everything. He and Yu Dong are not the same people. And the competition will become increasingly fierce in the future.
"But the invitation letters have been sent. At the end of the year?"
"Let's talk about it then.
How is the progress of the script review of "Marriage Story" and "Second Generation Goblin"?"
Lin Nan is more concerned about these two movies now. It is better to start two movies in a row as early as possible to avoid being too busy in the second half of the year.
"According to the treatment of our company, it should be fast, right? You are really scared of me over there, haha..."
Hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing. He didn't pay much attention to "Second Generation Goblin", it was just a movie made to spread sugar.
But "Marriage Story" is different, especially the casting. Lin Nan hopes to have the top lineup, after all, he is going to a film festival.
As for whether he can invite some top actors to play supporting roles, he believes that his face is definitely enough!
While Lin Nan and Yue Jun were chatting about "Pacific Rim 2", the film bureau once again welcomed people from the air force, Han Sanping and La Peikang, who were still present.
Looking at the director candidates selected by the air administration respectfully greeting themselves and others, not to mention the reactions of Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen, anyway, Han Sanping and La Peikang exchanged vague glances: What an international start. What a joke!
A movie with the main theme of the air force was actually used to make an actor's debut as a film director? Are film directors dead in the industry?
“The project of "Hunter in the Sky" can be officially approved in the next two days. Li Chen is very confident that he can direct this movie well, and Kong Zheng is also willing to give him a chance... I hope the Film Bureau and China Film Group can vigorously Support..."
As the air force leader major general's words fell to the ground, Li Chen also quickly set up a "military order."
It’s just that Tong Gang, Zhang Hongsen, Han Sanping, La Peikang and other movie-loving people are all smiling, and they are extremely speechless.
