Chapter 185: Broken Halberd and Sinking Sand
Lin Nan and Gao Han are not saying that they must screen out how many editors to add to the editorial team, they will never relax their requirements because of the big demand, because it is not easy to train an editor, and before deciding to recruit them, they must ensure that this person is worth cultivating.
So in fact, how many people are accepted depends entirely on the quality of these people who come to apply, if there is only one qualified, then Lin Nan will only accept one, if there are ten qualified, then Lin Nan will accept ten.
Although the editorial recruitment has attracted a lot of people to submit resumes, in fact, the vast majority of people's resumes were excluded after Lin Nan glanced at them, because they were not suitable at all, and a large number of people knew that they were playing with resumes at a glance.
After Lin Nan found out about this, he specially found a few people to review his resume and screen out the group of unscrupulous ones first, which saved him a lot of work.
A week later, Lin Nan and Gao Han left fourteen people in the many resumes, and these fourteen people will be interviewed before deciding whether to hire or not.
Soon, these fourteen people came to Nanshan Film and Television Company, in the company, Lin Nan and Gao Han met these fourteen people as interviewers, and after communicating one by one, Lin Nan and Gao Han finally left four people.
With the addition of these four people, there will be a lot less pressure in the editorial department, and now the submitted manuscripts have been divided by Jinhua Literature Network, so the editorial department can operate normally after these four people enter the editorial department.
After solving this matter, Lin Nan didn't have any rest time at all, and once again returned to the original micro film competition, the original micro film competition has been nearly a month now, and Lin Nan also selected a few contestants who are particularly interested or optimistic.
After all, the contestants are required to either write the story they want to express or shoot a short video by themselves, so there are still a lot of things for Lin Nan to refer to.
And these few selected by Lin Nan are naturally the focus of attention, and now there is still a month and a half before the end of the first round, and there will definitely be works or ideas that satisfy Lin Nan in the later stage, and there is absolutely no problem in selecting twenty people from them. And now it seems that there is a big record to increase the number of places in the first round.
What makes Lin Nan feel most fortunate is that it seems that no one has been fighting him in this matter for the time being, because at least now, it seems that there is no benefit at all in this matter, and the only benefit may be that a few good grassroots crews can be excavated, but the crew is only useful for film and television companies. And most of the companies that can afford tens of millions of dollars to hold this competition are basically not short of people, and they might as well make a movie directly with this money.
In fact, Lin Nan didn't want to go to the film academy to recruit students, but firstly, those who have the ability are often snatched away by the five giants, and secondly, there are really few director-type talents that can be cultivated in a school, and the quality is not guaranteed.
At the end of March, the second part of "Saw Horror", which had been released for more than a month, finally ended its release, according to the feedback received from Twentieth Century Fox and reports from European and American media. The second part of "Chainsaw" is still hot, and it is faintly surpassing the first part, and the premiere of the Seven Nations Tour led by Twentieth Century Fox can be said to be indispensable and played a good role in publicity.
It's just that the global total box office has not yet been settled, so it will be interesting to see what the second part of "Chainsaw" can achieve.
The statistics are carried out quickly. A few days after the movie was taken off the shelves, the total box office information of the second part of "Chainsaw" crossed the Pacific Ocean from the United States to Lin Nan's eyes, looking at the numbers in front of him, Lin Nan was still slightly stunned.
$195 million!
What is the concept of $195 billion? If it is converted into Huaxia currency, it will be 1260 million!
This is a huge amount of money that Lin Nan also secretly smacked, he originally expected that the second part of "Chainsaw" would definitely be stronger than the first, but it should also be limited, so it would be almost impossible to achieve a box office of 1400 million US dollars.
But what Lin Nan didn't expect was that the second part of "Chainsaw" was so much stronger than the first part. , according to the original sharing agreement with Twentieth Century Fox, Lin Nan will be able to get at least 400 million yuan in box office revenue alone this time!
400 million, this is a lot of money, even if "Those Years" is so hot, the box office income brought to Lin Nan is only about 220 million, which makes Lin Nan sigh. If you really want to make money, you still have to look at the global market!
Although the Chinese film market is much stronger than that of another world, it certainly cannot be compared with the whole of Europe and the United States combined, and Lin Nan's plan now is very simple, to maintain his reputation in China and ensure market share while attacking abroad. At present, Lin Nan is purely for the box office, so it is really a bit better to make some commercial movies.
The high box office of the second part of "Chainsaw" is naturally another hit in China, and the online sales rights and DVD sales have long been negotiated, and after the movie is released, it is also officially put on the shelves for sale with the help of the box office, and good results have been achieved, and this joy has also slightly diluted the depression accumulated in Lin Nan's heart some time ago.
In April, the wind was calm, nothing happened, and the only possible contradiction trigger point may be the competition between Lin Nan and Jinhua Network, which is surrounded by literary websites, but both Jinhua Network and Lin Nan are now very quiet and accumulating strength, because from the current point of view, no one can help each other, after all, even the website has not been launched, and the only thing that can be done seems to be to hire a little water army to hack the other party, but it doesn't have much effect.
At the beginning of April, Lin Nan suddenly received an invitation to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, the most authoritative and prestigious film festival in China, and his film "Those Years" won four nominations, including Best Actress and Best Screenplay. (The name is only borrowed here, please do not delve into details)
Invited by the organizers, it was impossible for Lin Nan not to go, in the face of the largest annual film festival in China, he had not yet reached that point.
The award ceremony of the Golden Rooster Awards will start in mid-April, leaving Lin Nan with plenty of time, in fact, there is no need to prepare for the film festival itself, Lin Nan is mainly dealing with the original micro-film competition and website.
In mid-April, Lin Nan came to the venue of the Golden Rooster Awards with several main actors of "Those Years", and Lin Nan did not go up on the red carpet, and directly asked Lin Qingyi, the national school flower, to attract the firepower of the media, and he quietly entered the venue backstage.
On the way into the venue, Lin Nan also happened to meet Lei Mu, the president of Chuangu Entertainment, and the two nodded to each other after seeing each other, showing a smile that everyone understands.
After stepping forward and exchanging a few words with Lei Mu, Lin Nan and Lei Mu separated, their positions had already been arranged, and they were not together, seeing that people kept coming in, they could only go back to their respective positions.
Lin Nan sat for a while before seeing Lin Qingyi walk in.
After sitting next to Lin Nan, Lin Qingyi took out a wet tissue from her bag and wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, and sighed: "I'm tired!" ”
"What do you think walking the red carpet is a good job, I didn't want to walk the second time after I walked once, and the battle I walked on was not as big as this!" Lin Nan shook his head and secretly sighed that he was very prescient.
In the midst of the disturbances, many stars who can only be seen on the screen on weekdays walked the red carpet one by one to the venue, and Lin Nan also found several familiar ones, that is, those superstars.
In this world, the road to foreign markets for these superstars is almost completely blocked, which also makes them pay more attention to domestic markets, so this kind of film festival is generally not absent, which also allows Lin Nan to see what those superstars are like.
After a very long and regular procedure, the ceremony also carried out the most interesting part, that is, the awarding of awards.
"Those Years" was nominated for four awards: Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Music and Best Editing.
And with the Best Editing Award falling to others, there are only three awards left for "Those Years", fortunately, with the high popularity and popularity of the original song, "Those Years" successfully won the Best Original Music Award.
But after that, the name of "Those Years" never appeared again, and throughout the film festival, "Those Years" only won an award for Best Original Music.
""Those Years" only won one award, and Nanshan Memories failed to compete in the film festival!"
Soon, all major news reported this big news, especially after Lin Nan just became popular at the box office with "Chainsaw", this strong contrast can bring more impact.
Closing the webpage, Wei Junbo looked at Lin Nan who was sitting on the sofa on the side, shook his head, a wry smile flashed on his face, and asked: "What are you going to do, if you don't handle it well, this kind of public opinion will have a great impact on you and the company!" ”
Lin Nan frowned at this time, the failure of the film festival this time was indeed a wake-up call for him, he has always been shooting commercial films that can make money, and he has indeed achieved good results at the box office, but now the problem has also been revealed, that is, he has no ability to win awards.
After a long time, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Lin Nan's mouth who was frowning: "Junbo, I think it's necessary for me to make a movie that can win awards!" ”
