After assigning the task of writing the script to Jiang Lin and them, the next day, Lin Nan convened the props and art team in the crew, and even called James to the company, and after introducing a few people to know each other, he began to explain to them some of the props needed for the filming of "Chainsaw", so that they could start preparing now.

First of all, the most important thing is naturally the clown puppet riding a children's tricycle, when Lin Nan painted the clown puppet crookedly on the paper, Lin Nan deeply understood that he really did not have any talent for painting.

After tearing the painting with a cold face and smashing what it couldn't see, Lin Nan began to let the professional artists write it, while he described and narrated on the side, and the artists drew the clown puppets, and then the prop master made them.

It took Lin Nan a whole morning to get all these things, and then it was James's problem, Lin Nan carefully talked about the special effects makeup that might be used in this movie and James from the beginning to the back, and James also made a list after thinking about it, which contained all the materials he needed.

These materials are not difficult to find, they are all very ordinary things, and Lin Nan also directly threw them to the prop master to complete.

This year, because of the filming plan of "Chainsaw", Nanshan Film and Television Company's annual leave was squeezed very short, only four short days, from the Chinese New Year's Eve to the fourth day of the first lunar month.

In order to be at ease during the holiday, everyone has worked hard to complete the tasks left by Lin Nan in the past few days, and the easiest of all may be James, and now he has not yet got all the tools he wants, so naturally there is no work, and the most important thing is that they are not in the New Year, and Christmas is already over!

"People in Embarrassment" finally ended its four-week release near the end of the year, and on the last day of the release, everyone was paying attention to this strongest dark horse in this New Year!

Finally, after the end of the box office statistics, "People in Embarrassment" ranked third in the Chinese New Year stall with a box office score of 324 million.

The second is Xing Ye's "Shaolin Football". In the mainland alone, it has achieved a box office result of more than 430 million, and if you add Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, it will definitely be more than 600 million.

As for the first place, it is "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou, this movie has not yet been released, and the total box office has broken through the 500 million mark, which is simply terrifying, refreshing countless records, and so far, director Zhang Yimou is also regarded as one of the most promising directors in China to impact Hollywood.

When learning about the box office of "Heroes". Lin Nan couldn't help but feel dizzy. There is a box office of 500 million in China alone. This is much stronger than in another world, looking at the world's film and television market in China is indeed much more prosperous than in another world, and the box office of the same film can basically reach two to three times that of another world.

Thinking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help but think of the highest-grossing movie of all time - "Avatar". If this film were moved here, how much would it have grossed at the box office?

I'm afraid there are tens of billions, right?

Shaking his head and throwing this somewhat unrealistic idea out of his mind, Lin Nan felt that it was more important for him to look at what was in front of him.

The filming cost of "People in Embarrassment" is about 8 million, and more than 10 million yuan was used for publicity, which actually adds up to about 20 million.

At present, the domestic box office of "People in Embarrassment" is 324 million, and the theater chain takes 65% of it, leaving 113.4 million, and the cost of deducting 20 million is 93.4 million yuan. Among them, the distributor Chuangu Entertainment took another 10%, which means that Nanshan Film and Television Company earned more than 84 million yuan with the domestic box office of this film alone.

Before the end of the screening, that is, the period when Lin Nan and others went to the United States, the network copyright and DVD video copyright of "People in Embarrassment" have been successfully sold, and they can be launched after the end of the release. If you add these revenues and the box office in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, the profit from "People in Embarrassment" can definitely exceed 100 million.

Even after deducting various taxes, it is more than 90 million income, it is naturally impossible not to be excited, although making money is not Lin Nan's purpose, but it cannot be denied that making money is indeed a very happy thing.

With this happy mood, Lin Nan ushered in the New Year.

After spending a happy New Year with his mother, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Nan hurried back to the company.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Nanshan Film and Television Company officially started.

As soon as Lin Nan arrived at the company, Jiang Lin walked into Lin Nan's office with the script of the first part of "Chainsaw" that had been written, and it was obvious from Jiang Lin's thick exhaustion and two big dark circles on his face that Jiang Lin had not slept well at all in the past few days, of course, in fact, not only Jiang Lin, everyone in the ten-person think tank was like this.

"Go back and let them have a good rest!" After Lin Nan got the script, he said to Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin nodded, his face was still expressionless and paralyzed, but there was a trace of emotion in the depths of his eyes, but he didn't let anyone see this emotional fluctuation, and turned around and left directly after answering Lin Nan's call.

Looking at the back of Jiang Lin leaving, Lin Nan also felt a little helpless, so he could only secretly slander himself, this Jiang Lin is definitely in the late stage of facial paralysis!

After getting the script, Lin Nan immediately called Shang Yi in and asked him how the actor was looking.

Lin Nan, the candidate for the starring role of "Chainsaw", has already been decided, it is a TV drama actor he has inadvertently seen, named Kong Xi, this person is very similar to Jiansaw in terms of temperament and image, and it is precisely because he saw this person and remembered Jiansaw that Lin Nan put "Chainsaw" on the filming schedule.

Kong Xi Lin Nan has already sent someone to contact him, as for other extremely actors, it is very easy to find, basically anyone who can act in a thriller and meet the basic image can do it, so Lin Nan directly handed it over to Shang Yi to find it.

Shang Yi reported his progress after coming to Lin Nan's office, basically he has completed the task assigned by Lin Nan, and now everything needed for filming is in place, and he can start filming at any time!

Generally, there must be a start-up ceremony before the start of filming to attract the attention of the media, especially a director like Lin Nan who has attracted much attention now, once the news of shooting a new film comes out, it will definitely arouse a high degree of media attention, and it will have a great effect on the promotion of the film.

But this time Lin Nan didn't plan to do a boot ceremony, this kind of movie is very effective in maintaining a certain degree of mystery, and Lin Nan already has a good idea for the promotion of "Chainsaw".

On this day, those who have been paying attention to the official website of Nanshan Film and Television Company will find that a blood-red key appears next to the homepage of Nanshan Film and Television Company's official website, and clicking on the key will enter a new page.

It's a dark-colored interface, looking like an old washroom, with spots on the walls and a mess on the floor, and a man lying in the tub, his whole body hidden, with only one arm and one leg hanging outside.

It's such a scene, against the backdrop of the dim effect and blood-red edges, but it gives people a very terrifying feeling of chilling on the back.

This new discovery was immediately disseminated through various channels, and more and more people came to see this terrifying page.

How could there be such a strange link on the official website of Nanshan Film and Television Company? And the link is actually such a picture that makes people palpitate slightly!

Countless fans began to ask what was going on, of course, some people came to the conclusion that this is Nanshan Yi going to make a new film according to the urine analysis of Nanshan Film and Television Company in the past, but it is not certain at all, because this is too different from Nanshan Yi's style, Nanshan Yi has always been famous for its funny and humorous category, and this picture is a horror and thriller genre no matter how you look at it.

After successfully arousing the appetite of countless fans, Nanshan Film and Television Company finally issued a public statement: This is indeed Nanshan Yi is shooting a new film; Genre: Horror Thriller!

"Did you make a mistake about making a horror movie?"

"This world is so crazy, Nanda actually went to make a horror movie, this is simply impossible to look at!"

"Actually, I think you're all wrong, won't Nanda spoof horror movies like spoofing martial arts?"

"It's unlikely, that picture on the official website really makes people's backs cold!"

……

After this piece of news came out, it immediately detonated the public opinion media, and for a while, the discussion about Lin Nan's new film instantly increased exponentially, and even Zhang Yimou, who was in full swing because of the movie "Hero", was faintly suppressed.

Among the mainstream media, there is a media that has received a lot of attention and published a special opinion article on this matter: "Nanshan Yi's new film horror thriller? Can another transformation be successful? ”

The article first criticized Lin Nan's blind pursuit of change, and then it was that horror thrillers were not suitable for the public to watch, and finally it magically evolved into Lin Nan's self-willingness, not doing good themes, but going to shoot horror thrillers.

And the article also focuses on the fact that Lin Nan has no experience in shooting this type or even similar types of films so far, and even directly asserted in the end that this so-called horror thriller is definitely not like four things in the end, that is, the life of hitting the street.

After this article was released, it was naturally criticized by some fans, but more fans still felt that what this article said made sense, can you watch it if you shoot horror thrillers in Lin Nan's previous style?

Therefore, soon a large number of fans spontaneously organized and appealed: Nanda, stop making trouble, put down the thriller in your hand, let's be funny!
