Chapter 1012 Winning "In the Name of..." in advance, 50 billion
"The first to step on the red carpet was the "Legend of the Gods" crew led by Mr. Xiang Qiangqiang and his wife and Mr. Yu Dong, the main creator Members include Jet Li, Liang Jiahui, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Louis Koo, Yang Ying, Xiang Zuo..."
...
While Lin Nan and the others were chatting and laughing in the waiting area, the opening ceremony was red. The blanket has officially begun.
......"Grand Trail", "Escape", "Bounty Hunter", "Three's Company", "Kung Fu Yoga", "Lu Yao Knows Ma Li", "Cold War 2"......"Shocking" , "Fire Soaring into the Sky"......
Film crews walked onto the red carpet one after another, mixed with other guests from the film festival. Very efficient and fast.
The red carpet host is also very discerning. Big crews will be given time for interviews, while small crews will not have interviews. They will control the time very carefully!
But there is no doubt that the later film crews are generally more important... "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", "Radio Lynn's Midfield War", "The Great Wall"... these movies are definitely All interviews are required.
Two minutes after Cao Baoping led Liu Ye, Zhang Yi, and Wang Ziwen away, the staff came to remind Lin Nan and the others.
“Let’s go, it’s our turn.”
Lin Nan took Liu Yifei's hand and naturally intertwined their fingers. The two of them took the lead and walked in front.
The sky outside is actually completely dark, but the bright lights illuminate the top of the head into daylight, and the sky in the distance also seems to be bright. This is the Magic City!
The boiling sea of people and noise gave Lin Nan and others the illusion of a roaring tsunami. This year's opening ceremony was indeed far better than the previous ones.
"Now we are facing the crew of the main theme commercial blockbuster "Operation Mekong". The main creative lineup is Golden Lion, Golden Bear... Golden Globe, Oscar Best Director Award winner Lin Nan, director, internationally famous actress , producer Ms. Liu Yifei, director Ning Hao, the great Chinese film director and photographer of "Operation Mekong", and Ms. Xing Aina, the screenwriter..."
A series of titles were announced, but Lin Nan and the four of them did not feel it. It's too high-profile, because Zhang Yimou and Li An were treated in this way just now.
"Director Lin, among the blockbusters on the red carpet tonight, it seems that only "Operation Mekong" has not announced its release date. Can you take advantage of tonight's red carpet to reveal the movie's release date?"
There was an interview session, of course, and the host's questions were to the point and straight to the point, but Lin Nan didn't want to announce it here.
He glanced at the crowds of people on both sides and said in a roundabout way: "The specific schedule has been set and will be announced at the end of the month or the beginning of next month. However, what can be revealed in advance is that the movie will definitely be released this year! "
"Will it collide with the films of Directors Li An, Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou? "
At this moment, not only the red carpet host was excited, but also the large number of media on both sides were even more excited? Incessantly.
"We can't talk about this now. Let's wait for my company's announcement. Thank you."
Lin Nan stopped clicking. In fact, he didn't want to be interviewed, but who would let his status be displayed here.
Seeing that Director Lin wanted to end the interview, the host immediately cooperated. Observing people's behavior and watching people's dishes are compulsory courses in the circle!
After walking a few steps towards the venue, Ning Hao started teasing, "There are quite a few 'carpet kings' tonight. Many of them have finished walking the red carpet and then turned back and walked on the red carpet again..."
Ning Hao was inspired when he saw Wu Yifan who had just turned back. The crew of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" seems to be behind.
After all, the three words "Zhou Xingchi" can represent the highest box office record in the Chinese film market today, and Zhou Xingchi himself followed the crew of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and appeared in the finale!
The main player is naturally the judging team.
The opening ceremony party was actually a literary evening plus a dinner. Liu Yifei and Xing Aina took it seriously, but Lin Nan and Ning Hao were muttering something else together.
Jiang Wen's "The Evil Will Not Suppress the Right" is really a ghost, and he dared to do it with any budget.
The previous "One Step Away" was already outrageous, with an investment cost of 300 million, but this time "The Righteous" actually cost 400 million? !
It's no wonder that guy Jiang Wen has organized a special bureau to attract investment during the Magic City International Film Festival, because one or two companies will not spend so much money to invest in a movie that is not a special effects masterpiece, even if the director is Jiang Wen. no.
“Jiang Wen’s appeal is still far inferior to yours. If you say that you are short of 400 million, the companies in the circle who want to win over you will definitely have a long queue...”
"When the time comes, go join in the fun and support him. He is still recalling the aftertaste of "Let the Bullets Fly" and can't help himself."
...
The night passed, The Magic City International Film Festival has officially begun.
Ning Ying's media conference became the first blockbuster in the film industry after the opening ceremony.
“At eight o’clock in the morning, in front of nearly a hundred news media in the industry, Ning Ying announced in a high-profile manner: The Oriental magical special effects masterpiece "Asura" has been officially approved and cast..."
" It is reported that the movie "Asura" is the first part of the "Asura" series trilogy, with an investment cost of up to 750 million yuan; among which, the special effects shots are expected to reach more than 2,400, and the special effects production budget is as high as 300 million yuan..."
Lin Nan did not go to Ning Ying’s press conference, but went directly to the film screening area.
As for Liu Yifei, she naturally plays in twos and threes, especially since Disneyland is opening on the 16th, so the girls won’t miss it; after all, after the film festival, Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun will have to join the group again.
However, Director Lin apparently ignored one thing, that is, Tudou.com was in the bidding stage for the second round of financing, and many capitals wanted to break through from him; these people couldn't get through to his phone, so they went directly to "Operation Mekong" ” and other three movies came to the exhibition area, which was extremely annoying.
Simply, Lin Nan blended directly into the huge crowd of moviegoers and got into one of the dozens of screening halls to watch the movie.
At the same time, La Peikang left Ning Ying’s press conference in a rage.
“The stones in the pit are smelly and hard. I would rather mortgage my assets than accept China Film’s kindness!”
Han Sanping was also impressed by Ning Ying's courage. This is 750 million! When he was in office, he never embarked on such a large project.
"I heard that Lin Nan rejected Ning Ying's kindness, and the producer exchanged for 5% of the share."
This incident made Han Sanping think a little, Lin Nan would not refuse this kind of thing without reason. It's a good thing. The risk is too great, so don’t be optimistic?
“It’s understandable that he refused, because with such a high investment, even if you make money, you may not be able to make much money. But for state-owned enterprises, political achievements are greater than achievements, that is, greater than profits. ." La Peikang emphasized.
"La Dong, you should think about "The Founding of an Army". There is only one and a half months left to start filming. We have already agreed before that I will not interfere with this project anymore. Okay Well, I’m going to go and watch a movie and relax..."
Without waiting for La Peikang to speak, Han Sanping walked away without looking back. His successor was becoming more and more paranoid, which was not a good thing.
......
Near noon, Lin Nan saw the news that "In the Name of the People" was successfully completed, and he immediately called Wang Wei.
Because Tudou’s second round of financing conflicted with Magnolia and the Magic City International Film Festival, Wang Wei did not come here this year. Instead, he assigned a senior executive to come here, but Tudou The matter of buying copyright is not affected at all.
"Director Lin, I have already contacted the crew this morning. They offer a very high price for the exclusive broadcast rights on the entire network. It seems that there is some fear, which makes them not optimistic about the return of the money, so they A high price was offered...
It is reported that the filming of this drama was stopped twice, and the producers even received death threats... Of course, this will not affect us..."
Wang Wei is right, These messy things really don't affect Tudou.
Because it can be seen from the producer of this drama that there will definitely be no problem in passing the review. Then the rest is business. Tudou buys the drama, which is reasonable. !
“Is the price still within the acceptable range? "Lin Nan asked.
"The price is still within the price range of TV series, but it targets those high-quality costume fairy dramas and the price of big IPs.
The copyright department told me that "In the Name of the People" said that after post-production is completed, the price will only be higher!
What a joke, this is a little bargaining trick with us..." There was a hint of disdain in Wang Wei's tone.
"Give it to them. Just because they dare to film this drama, "In the Name of the People" is worth the money. Maybe one day, its status in Tudou's copyright library will be the same as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" on LeTV... After all, it is the first time to involve the vice country, and the script is very exciting! ”
Lin Nan said with a smile but not a smile. When "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was sold, Tudou was at its lowest point and had no strength to compete for the copyrights of these popular TV series.
Look now, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is really a money-making tool!
"Okay, I'll ask them to reply later. We didn't reach an agreement in the morning, so I thought we'd put it off until we see the finished drama."
Wang Wei agreed simply, These are small things. Before Lin Nan could speak, he picked up the topic again: "Director Lin, Alibaba was the first to make an offer again, and the valuation was 50 billion..."
...
< br>Tomorrow night’s Weibo movie night has begun to fully warm up.
As a social platform that is deeply tied to the Chinese film and television entertainment industry, almost no actor or star can deny face;
Especially for this first edition, Weibo has put a lot of effort into inviting big names in the industry.
Even Lin Nan was specially called by Cao Guowei to remind him again.
“Don’t worry, Director Cao, I will be here on time.”
“Director Lin, we will submit the quotation at the last minute for Tudou, 8%, all on Weibo. "Cao Guowei obviously pays more attention to financing.
“Well, just ask Wang Wei.”
