Chapter 1013 Chen Ip Man Kaige; Negative Vortex: Sleeping fans choose concubines...
Among the nearly a thousand participating films at the Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival, at least two hundred will be gathered in these 9 days. , hold large or small publicity conferences.
This means that on average, more than 30 movies are in fierce competition every day, competing for industry guests, media resources, and news traffic from the entire network.
No, just after lunch, Lin Nan received several phone calls.
Ren Zhonglun repeatedly urged him to go to Shanghai Film Studio No. 5 in the evening to participate in the "Shanghai Film Night". Li An would give a speech, and Jia Zhangke, Jackie Chan and others would also be present.
As for China Film, it was La Peikang's secretary who called. In the evening, there will be a reception with the theme of "The Great Wall". Zhang Yimou, Jing Tian, and Liu Dehua are the protagonists, but Matt and the others are not scheduled.
In addition, there are promotional dinners for several movies such as Chen Kexin's "July and Ansheng" and Feng Xiaogang's "I'm Not Pan Jinlian".
Regardless of whether their relationship with Director Lin was good or not, the invitations were handed over anyway, and they were all handed over to Lin Nan's assistant.
But unfortunately, Lin Nan’s replies were all thank you for the invitation. Because the schedule has been decided, a few people are going to warm Luo Jin's house in the evening to congratulate Luo Jin on his new move.
I heard that it is a large flat floor of nearly 500 square meters. It was bought not long ago and cost nearly 100 million.
However, it will definitely not be possible to move in for at least half a year, because Tang Yan and Luo Jin decided to renovate it according to their favorite style, and the total cost must be over 100 million.
“Look, Director Chen is still showing off. The "China Film Education International Forum - Invitation to the Conference" was sent by the Modu Film School of Modu University.
Dean Chen Kaige is The keynote speakers, Director Tian Zhuangzhuang and Director Gu Changwei, will have a sharing session; well, I guess they will also talk about the creative concept of "The Legend of the Demon Cat"!"
Ning Hao walked over with two invitations! , while handing it to Lin Nan, he couldn't help but laugh.
He met Chen Hong outside and was given an invitation on the spot, so he simply brought him back with him for Lin Nan.
"You are so busy."
Lin Nan stopped editing the email he was preparing to send back to Tom. After reading the invitation, he complained speechlessly about Ning Hao.
"Good guy, "Fifty Shades Freed"! Is this about to start?"
Ning Hao ignored Lin Nan's complaints. He saw the content on the laptop screen, and his face A lewd smile appeared instantly.
"Well, the finale of the series will start shooting next month." Lin Nan nodded.
"It's a bit scary to think about the profit for the third film. How much did your Crystal Pictures make?"
Ning Hao had seen Tom's attitude in front of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei. He didn't believe it. Lin Nan only has 55% of the shares of Crystal Pictures.
“Added together the first two films, as of the end of last month, Crystal Pictures’ net profit, I’m talking about pure profit, has exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars.
The following There will be a steady flow of information, such as online broadcasts, DVDs, home entertainment, TV, peripherals..." Lin Nan didn't hide anything, if you want to check these, you can find them.
"The copyright system outside is better. A movie can last for many years, and a good movie can last until death." Ning Hao smacked his lips and beat his chest with envy.
"Why don't you say that actors also get more? In any movie that makes money, actors can participate in the profit sharing on top of the basic salary, although the points of the sharing are very small.
But yes, generally speaking, as long as the movie If it sells well, both the actors and the film crew will make money... It is indeed the latter who will make more money."
Lin Nan changed his voice and glanced at Ning Hao with a smile. There is no point in just being envious! , you have to go to Hollywood to fight.
"So, your Yifei's "Inception" and "Interstellar" have always shared profits?"
"Yes, every year. Starring The profit sharing points are relatively more than 1 point. The more superstars have global box office appeal, the higher the points will be, but there is an upper limit..."
Seeing Ning Hao's expression of regret that he shouldn't have asked so many questions, Lin Nan couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing.
......
After an afternoon of picking and choosing, Liu Yifei finally selected a top-quality pearl necklace and a pair of pearl earrings as gifts for Tang Yan in the evening.
Han Jia Nyeo, on the other hand, had her first "heavy bleeding" after arriving in Shanghai and bought a luxury handbag.
“Where’s Sister Zhou Xun, haven’t you seen her since last night?”
"Her TV series will have a media meeting the day after tomorrow, and the producer should be reviewing the process at the moment."
Liu Yifei swiped her card while talking to Han Ga Nyeo.
The investment scale of Zhou Xun’s TV series is not small. The media project launch conference on the 15th will definitely attract the attention and heated discussion of the entire film and television industry and the entire Internet.
“Why don’t you pick a gift for your director, Mr. Lin?”
“Of course we both will get one, I’ll just pick it out.”
Liu Yifei took the gift box and card from the waiter's hands and raised her eyebrows at Han Jianu playfully.
“Oh, it’s good to forget about this and getting married, haha...”
The assistant followed behind the two of them carrying exquisite packaging bags, um, continued shopping.
More than half an hour later, a call came in, ending Liu Yifei and Han Jia’s shopping trip. It was from Shu Chang.
"It's already past four o'clock. Let's go back and meet Lin Nan. Zhu Yawen and the others should be ready too."
After hanging up the phone, looking at the time, Liu Yifei made a decisive decision.
"Okay, as long as I don't get caught by Old Han; he takes me to see this uncle and call that aunt every day... My heart is so tired."
Han Jianu, who was in a state of ruin, was whistling and leaking wind again.
During the film festival, the busiest activities are always in the evening, with parties, cocktail receptions, dinners...
At early six o'clock in the evening, activities in various circles start competing with each other, and there are constant phone calls. When Lin Nan came here, he was turned off, so he didn't have to worry.
Liu Yifei, who was wearing a floral dress and white shoes, walked lightly to Lin Nan and held her arms;
When the two of them went downstairs, Zhu Ya was also wearing summer casual clothes. Wen Wen, Shen Jiani and Han Jia'er were already waiting in the car.
"Hurry up, you two are chatting, are you eating lipstick on it? I heard that Tang Yan will be cooking tonight, and Tang Luoshi will help with the cooking..."
Zhu Yawen is really cool. She is wearing sunglasses and teasing Lin Nan and Liu Yifei. Shen Jiani and Han Jianu are laughing on the sidelines.
"Tangtang has always said that she likes pet dogs, but she just doesn't have time to keep one. It's a pity; otherwise, I'll be squatting at the door tonight and I'll bite you."
Liu Yifei stared blankly and retorted rudely. Lin Nan and the other three immediately burst into laughter, "You deserve it."
At half past seven o'clock in the evening, two extended business cars arrived in the old wealthy area of Shanghai. Luo Jin and Tang Yan wore peaked caps and ran out to greet them in a low-key manner.
The decoration of a house worth nearly 100 million yuan will definitely not be cheap, but it is not the style that Tang Yan likes, so it has to be renovated.
“To be honest, although large flat floors are good, I still prefer villas with yards, lawns, gardens, and leisure and entertainment facilities.
By the way, last time Wang Dong also suggested that I go to Shunyi to buy a manor villa. There are ones covering an area of 20 to 30 acres... I will go and have a look when I have time later..."
While Liu Yifei, Han Jia'v, and Shen Jiani were showing off their gifts to Tang Yan, Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen followed Luo Jin and walked around this new house covering an area of nearly 500 square meters.
"Tangtang and I are not as good as Director Lin and you two." Luo Jin had a speechless smile on his face.
“It’s as if I can compare with them. Others have big capital. Tudou is in the second round of financing, with an external market value of 45 billion! Tsk, tsk, tsk...”
In Zhu Yawen's "Yin and Yang Wei", jealousy and envy account for 99.99%, and they are nakedly revealed.
"By the way, is there something stewing in the kitchen? The smell is quite far away..." Lin Nan sniffed and changed the topic with a smile.
"Tangtang, your braised pork should be ready, Director Lin can smell it, haha..." Luo Jin shouted towards the living room from a distance, laughing non-stop.
"Well, okay, let's get ready for dinner, shall we?"
At eight o'clock exactly, seven people also started a "dinner" in Luo Jin and Tang Yan's "new house" in the future. .
Looking at the dozen or so dishes on the table such as braised pork, fried shrimps in oil, sweet and sour spareribs, crystal shrimps, braised yam with candied dates, Lin Nan couldn’t help but look at Liu Yifei next to her, and then she was She gouged out a vicious look.
Director Lin Da has to admit that when it comes to cooking skills, Tang Yan from the Luo Jin family is really far better than his own Producer Liu; the gap between the two should be as big as the Magic City. Is the capital so far away? !
......
"Yesterday evening, director Chen Kaige made an impassioned speech at the "China Film Education International Forum", saying: In the final analysis, movies are just a character, and only the director has a true character and is willing to make the true picture Only when you put your temperament in the movie can you make a good movie!"
"Speaking of Rise, Director Chen Kaige used himself as an example, recalling: 'When I was a child, I was more polite, and fighting usually had nothing to do with me, but I I actually admire those classmates who are very brave and fierce.
It’s strange that when I was in my 40s, I actually got into a fight with someone. I fought 6 people on my own. I was beaten to a bloody head
But that day was a particularly happy day in my life, because I finally overcame the fear deep in my heart and could "take advantage of the humiliation and draw my sword." "So, when making a movie, you must be careful...'."
"Director Li An warned filmmakers in the industry at the 'Shanghai Film Night': They need to be wary of the traps behind the prosperity of the film industry. Blindly following the trend to make quick money, piling up stars and fast food IP is violently burning and overdrafting the vitality of the film industry. In Sacrificing the future of the film industry..."
"After six years, Director Jia Zhangke once again mentioned his first commercial film "In the Qing Dynasty" that he had been preparing for many years but had not seen..."
"By Exclusively produced by Hongxingwu, starring Shu Chang, Jiao Enjun, Reba, Zhang Zhiyao, Yu Bo, Zhong Hanliang, Chen Yao, Qiao Zhenyu, Meng Ziyi, Mu Tingting, Kang Keren and others;
Large-scale fantasy costume god The drama "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" was officially completed this morning in Yunnan Puzhehei Karst National Wetland Park..."
...
I slept until I woke up naturally in the morning. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the "instructions" of the two great directors on the film industry. Actually, both of them were right; but for some reason, Director Chen gave Lin Nan the urge to laugh, but it was definitely not derogatory.
“You don’t know, when I was sitting in the audience and heard Director Chen impassionedly saying that he beat six with one, I thought he had won. The one who got beaten!"
Liu Yifei went to pick up Shu Chang. Just as Lin Nan was about to go out, Ning Hao called.
Okay, here’s the point. The funny thing about Director Chen Da is that he was obviously beaten, but he still had the aura of being Chen Ip Man Kai Ge!
"Fortunately, I didn't go. Okay, let's not talk about it for now. See you at the exhibition area later."
"Well, okay."
Tonight is the first Weibo Movie Night. The location is at the World Expo Cultural Center.
Liu Yifei didn't want to go there to join in the fun. Firstly, it was absolutely chaotic there. Secondly, she made an appointment with Shu Chang and Han Jianyv to play in the afternoon and watch a movie in the evening.
Lin Nan also supported her idea, so Lin Nan would walk with Zhou Xun on the red carpet in the evening. Well, weekly news is cheap!
I haven't paid attention to the film market for a few days. When Lin Nan entered the huge film exhibition area, he heard a lot of people talking about it.
"Alice in Wonderland 2" was released with a box office of 380 million. The reason is not that it is weak, but because "Warcraft" is too powerful.
The latter not only wiped out all Chinese-language films, but also wiped out imported films;
It took 5 days to cut off 1.028 billion in box office, which was like siege and destruction. !
"Director Lin, Ali is currently holding the first media conference for the movie version of "Three Lives Three Worlds". I heard that the post-production special effects have already started and it is planned to be released next year."
< br>
Yue Jun said and handed Lin Nan a bottle of water. He had just finished an interview with the media about "Operation Mekong".
"Next year is just next year, it has nothing to do with us." Lin Nan saw Yan Fei's group, Shen Teng and Ma Li, and he waved.
"No one cares about "The Donkey Gets Water"?"
"Well, it is indeed a bit deserted, mainly because the cast is not famous." Yan Fei's smile was a bit bitter.
“Don’t be pressured, as long as a small-budget movie is a dark horse, it won’t lose money!”
Lin Nan smiled and comforted. Then he looked at Ma Li and asked, "You two should also be attending the Weibo movie night tonight, right?"
"Yes, Director Lin. How can I say that last year's "Charlotte Troubles" was also canceled? It’s almost 1.8 billion, isn’t it? Ma Li and I are also quite famous, haha.”
“That’s right, but the seats should be in the back. After all, it’s only one movie.” Echoing, she is self-aware.
"Director Lin, the movie "The Shameful Iron Fist" should be released in August or even September. The script and budget will be available by then." Yan Fei came closer and lowered his voice.
For this movie, Lin Nan is not in a hurry. Happy Mahua itself is very attentive, "Well, there is no problem in terms of time."
Looking at the entire Magic City International Film Festival, most of the artists in the industry who come here are not A-listers; but with a large base, the number of popular stars and A-list actors will naturally be larger.
Media festivals with high exposure, such as Weibo Movie Night, are undoubtedly occasions for artists to "infight", especially those in the A-list.
Everyone has a smile on their face when they meet, but I don’t know what they are thinking in their hearts;
Many times, the order and seating arrangement of the red carpet can make the stars "pin-pointed" To Maimang", creating a gap. Because this represents coffee status, it is also competition for resources to a certain extent!
……
Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen also came to the Magic City in a low-key manner; because there are some official forums involving cultural export that need to be controlled.
“Jia Zhangke submitted an application document to the ministry and the General Administration for founding the fifth international film festival in China, which included Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Chen Kaige, Cao Baoping... Lin Nan and other big names from Nortel The director’s joint signature.
The culture and publicity departments all approved it yesterday, and the film bureau has no objections. It is estimated that preparations will begin within six months, and you state-owned enterprises will be ready to cooperate.”< br>
In the hotel conference hall under the movie theater, Tong Gang and everyone present "reported".
“The fifth international film festival?”
"He is so courageous. There was no news at all before." La Peikang muttered.
"Jia Zhangke? He is the only one suitable for this kind of thing. He is not a big commercial director or a film and television capital, and he is relatively neutral!" Ren Zhonglun nodded and affirmed.
"It can be seen from the name of his application documents that he is a bit pursuing.
It is not called the film festival internally, but called 'Pingyao International Film Festival'. The English name for the outside world It’s the ‘Pingyao Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon International Film Festival’!” Zhang Hongsen added with a smile.
“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?” Han Sanping asked subconsciously, a little confused.
"Yes, it is taken from Li An's movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Who made Li An's movie the only Chinese-language film to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film? It has full international influence. In addition, Li An has also Authorized!"
Tong Gang explained. Choosing the ancient city of Pingyao as the venue is also conducive to the spread of foreign culture to a certain extent.
......
With one phone call, Lin Nan was notified by Liu Yifei;
If she didn’t come back in the evening, she would go directly to the film festival screening hall with Shu Chang and Han Jianyu , take a look at the film "Big Fish and Begonia" that Guangguang participated in in advance.
The scene outside the World Expo Cultural Center was second only to the opening ceremony of the film festival the night before yesterday. There are basically all Asian stars here, most of them are Chinese actors and stars, and a small part are Japanese and Korean artists.
Lin Nan can be sure that he is the biggest celebrity among the guests in the film and television industry tonight on Weibo Movie Night, and he is the only big celebrity in the film industry!
Because although there are many stars here, there are only a few film directors, especially top directors, so he seems so "only".
Wearing a long black dress with a hollow design at the waist and bright spots, Zhou Xun stepped on black high heels and held a gold handbag. She walked onto the red carpet holding hands with Lin Nan openly.
The media reporters were going crazy, flashing lights and trembling hands.
Good guy, when have you ever seen Director Lin leading other actresses on the red carpet so "intimately"? It seems not? Anyway, I can’t remember it for a while!
"Sister, I have a hunch that tonight's headlines must belong to me!"
Zhou Xun lowered his voice, smiling at the reporters and fans on both sides, while joking with Lin Nan.
"Then you've made a profit!" Lin Nan also laughed.
“Say yes in advance, I have already said hello to Yifei.”
"Well, me too."
"Haha, you are not from Sichuan and Chongqing!" Zhou Xun ended the topic instantly, and Director Lin was speechless.
In the venue, after saying hello to Cao Baoping, Lin Nan led Zhou Xun and passed Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing and others in the second row to sit in the first row.
The first row is basically all acquaintances, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng...Yu Dong, Wang Zhonglei, Feng Xiaogang...
Zhou Xun is the only pure actor in the first row, next to him Lin Nan.
To use Director Lin's tone when talking on the phone during the day, that is: "I will take you with me tonight to enjoy the special treatment."
So, Lin Nan said hello to Zhou Xun and temporarily changed his position. .
Weibo Movie Night is very similar to Weibo Night. There are many awards, but generally they are related to movies and are not as chaotic and cumbersome as Weibo Night.
As the major shareholder of Weibo and the top director on the scene, Lin Nan took the stage and presented several awards in support of Weibo Movie Night.
The most popular comedians on Weibo: Shen Teng, Ma Li. Well, this is one of our own!
The most popular action actor on Weibo: Wu Gen. This is one of our own too!
Speaking of awarding Wu Gan, this guy is still in Africa.
Xie Nan came up to receive the award on behalf of Wu Gen, and was ridiculed by Lin Nan for a while; however, the two of them went back and forth and dealt with each other smoothly, which was considered a warm-up.
From the beginning to the end of the Weibo movie night, Lin Nan did not "leave early". He fulfilled his responsibilities and obligations as a shareholder.
When Cao Guowei made his final concluding remarks, he also specially thanked Lin Nan; in addition, he also made a promise to the entire film industry:
From now on, the annual Weibo Movie Night will definitely become more grand each year, becoming an indispensable film promotion night for the Chinese film industry.
......
Early in the morning, Lin Nan, who had been talking to Liu Yifei for more than an hour before getting up, saw yesterday's news.
The photos of him and Zhou Xun walking on the red carpet holding hands can be seen everywhere, and they are quite topical. Not to mention, they match well, especially their aura!
However, the headline that Zhou Xun guessed was a miscalculation and he didn’t get it at all.
Because the headlines on the film and television entertainment section and hot searches on Weibo are all about Wu Moumou, and the content is quite exciting!
“According to insiders in the industry, Wu Moumou, a popular top idol, has been unavailable since her return from South Korea, and has recently been suspected of signing a contract with a film and television giant in the industry...”
……
“Many entertainment media and senior entertainment reporters and paparazzi in the industry have reported that Wu Moumou has been in trouble recently and his team is working hard on public relations. It is well known in the circle...”
“According to many unwilling Relevant people who disclosed identity information broke the news that Wu Moumou was deeply involved in a negative whirlpool, involving sleeping with fans and choosing concubines... and related audio and photos were leaked..."
...
While Lin Nan was having breakfast, Liu Yifei was still lying in bed. After Shu Chang and Han Jianu ran over, they pulled her up. It seemed that the three of them still had an appointment in the morning.
Director Lin has no time to pay attention to the messy things on the Internet, and most of the big names in the industry have no time to care. Everyone is very busy.
Maybe only the media and fans care about it? The former cares about "performance" and "benefits", while the latter is a large group that should be concerned about chaos, complete chaos, and riot!
Jiang Wen's call came very early, and his bureau was set up in the morning.
This game is not a dinner party, but a small cocktail party, used to find 400 million investment for "The Evil Is Not Suppressing the Righteous".
In Jiang Wen's rather "rogue" words, first get 400 million in investment, and if it is not enough, then ask for it;
At that time, investors can only continue and. Want to regret getting out of the car? It's too late! Unless you are willing to give up your previous investment, it will be wasted. But, is it possible?
