Chapter 180: World Tour Premiere!
As soon as "Old Boy" was launched, it instantly became popular all over the country, and even people who have not seen this micro-movie can hum a few words when they hear the song of the same name.
After "Old Boy" became popular, the media and industry practitioners immediately noticed that "Old Boy" was different from any previous art form, using the technique of filming movies to tell a story in just 40 minutes, which had never appeared before, and the concept of "micro film" proposed by Lin Nan was therefore considered by the media and industry practitioners to be achievements refer to films with a relatively short time.
Lin Nan naturally can't let this misunderstanding develop, otherwise it will be difficult to change it after this statement is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and now that the time is ripe, at least the three words of micro film have spread with "Old Boy", so Lin Nan directly held a media press conference to explain to the media about the "micro film", and also took this opportunity to release the news of the original micro film competition hosted by Nanshan Film and Television Company.
With the media reporters going back to their respective reports, the true meaning of the micro-film is also known to everyone, and the news of the original micro-film competition has also entered the ears of many people.
At the same time as the press conference was held, the news of the original micro-film competition was released to the official website of Nanshan Film and Television Company.
The "Dream Cup" online original micro-film competition will be officially opened on February 12, as long as you have a dream of light and shadow, as long as you have the best to express, you can participate in the original micro-film competition.
Send your ideas and ideas to the [email protected] email (preferably with a few minutes of video artwork) until the end of April.
After layers of screening, we will select 20 of the contestants as the winners, and the winners will receive start-up funds ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 yuan to complete their dreams of light and shadow, and the best of them will get the opportunity to enter Nanshan Film and Television Company and shoot movies with Nanshan Yi!
After this news was issued, although it did not cause a huge wave like the original "Most Beautiful School Flower" beauty pageant. But to the delight of those young creators who are unable to afford and are troubled by funds, they all know that this is an opportunity for them to not only realize their dreams of making movies. And it is an opportunity to enter Nanshan Film and Television Company and make movies with Lin Nan.
The name Lin Nan is much more famous among this group of young but inactive young creators than among ordinary people, and it is truly known to everyone, because every step of Lin Nan is almost a miracle.
Young and able to create miracles, what could be more attractive to this group of people who are struggling on the way to their dreams?
So they may not be fans of Lin Nan, but without exception, they all have a feeling of reverence for Lin Nan, because they are eager for success, and they are eager for miracles to happen.
Now. The miracle didn't happen, but they were looking forward to an opportunity, and in the past, they ran around with the script to solicit sponsorship, and they were cold-eyed but smiling. Not for anything else, just for the dream in their hearts, but what they get is rejection again and again, and disappointment again and again!
Some of them gave up, but most of them were still holding on, and whether they had given up or were insisting, they were shocked when they saw this news. I felt that the opportunity had come.
They are confident in their ideas and their stories, and he is aiming for the top prize, which is half a million!
500,000 yuan is naturally far from enough to make a movie, but it is very rich to shoot a micro-movie.
Moreover, shooting micro-films is not their end, the real end is to enter Nanshan Film and Television Company and make movies with the person they respect. The real end point is that one day, they too can get ahead and become a big director!
With this kind of dream in mind, countless creators who are struggling at the bottom have written down their dreams and stories and sent them to the email address of the competition. All that's left is to wait for a reply, and even some very confident people have already begun to prepare for the shoot.
After the news of the Micro Film Original Contest was released, Lin Nan didn't pay too much attention to the email address, because there would not be too many entries received in a short period of time, and most people still needed to make a lot of preparations to hand in the stories and ideas after learning the news, so it was a complete waste of time to wait now.
Now there are two main things in front of Lin Nan's eyes, one is that the second part of "Chainsaw" is about to be released worldwide, and unlike when the first part was released, Twentieth Century Fox proposed to hold premieres in seven countries around the world, and Lin Nan naturally wanted to bring the main creative team to attend this series of activities.
Lin Nan did not refuse Twentieth Century Fox's proposal, because it is very routine to have a premiere before the release of the movie, and the first part of "Chainsaw" was missed for various reasons, and the second part naturally could not be missed, so Lin Nan readily agreed.
The second thing is naturally related to the establishment of a literary website, but the main work of this is still on Wei Junbo, Wei Junbo has now found a few more suitable candidates, and is in further negotiations, after the person in charge of the literary website is finalized, the rest is Lin Nan's matter.
On February 20, Lin Nan came to the United States with the main creative team of the second part of "Chainsaw" and all the actors, which is the headquarters of Twentieth Century Fox and the first stop of the premiere of "Chainsaw".
When they learned that they were going to the United States for the premiere, several actors were very happy, they were originally not very famous young actors, and even some second-rate TV drama actors were originally watched by them with looking up, but now they have to complete something that even the superstars of China have not completed - the world tour premiere!
How can they not be happy, how can they not be proud? At the same time, nature is also full of gratitude to Lin Nan.
After arriving in the United States, things were naturally arranged by the host Twentieth Century Fox, including a series of things such as accommodation, and Twentieth Century Fox's enthusiasm also made several actors very excited and proud, but when they thought that they were about to face the American media that they had only seen on TV before, they couldn't help but be nervous.
In fact, it's not just them, even Lin Nan is facing the American media for the first time, it is impossible not to be nervous, but Lin Nan's nervousness is not because of stage fright, but because he can't think of any weird questions these media reporters will ask.
Everything such as the venue of the premiere was handled by Twentieth Century Fox, and Lin Nan didn't have to worry about it at all, he just had to bring someone to him.
On the third day of arriving in the United States, the premiere was also officially held, and at the premiere, a lot of media reporters came, and to be honest, the only difference between here and China is that the reporters seem to be more calm than the people interviewed on stage.
Because of the language barrier, the interview was conducted with the help of an interpreter, which also gave the actors and other interviewees a time to think, so that they could answer questions carefully and try not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Before attending the premiere, several actors also made a lot of preparations for this premiere in advance, trying not to have any big problems.
Among all the interviewees, the one who received the most media attention was naturally Lin Nan, the director and screenwriter.
"Mr. Lin, as far as I know, "Chainsaw" is the first Chinese film to achieve good results in the North American and even global markets, so what do you think the previous Chinese films failed in, and how did "Chainsaw" circumvent these reasons that can lead to failure?" A blonde, blue-eyed, and plump female reporter asked Lin Nan with a serious face.
After Lin Nan heard the translation of the translator next to him, he looked at the female reporter and said: "First of all, I think that the fact that Huaxia films could not enter the global film market before cannot be said to be the failure of Huaxia films!" ”
"This was my mistake, I'm sorry, so what do you think is causing this phenomenon?" The female reporter touched the frame on her nose and asked.
Lin Nan pondered for a while and then replied: "As we all know, there is a huge difference between Eastern and Western cultures, and I think this is one of the most important reasons why it is difficult for Chinese films to enter the global market, just as it is also difficult for American western films to achieve any achievements in the global market." In my opinion, the first thing a film needs to do to enter the global market is to minimize cultural differences, in other words, to keep up with the pace of global pop culture, so that audiences around the world can accept the film! ”
"Mr. Lin, "Chainsaw" has been a huge success because of its unique creativity, in-depth exploration of life, and interlocking suspense movie-like plot, so how did you, as a writer and director, come up with this film in the first place?" After answering the busty female reporter's question, another male reporter stood up and asked.
After hearing this question, Lin Nan said a panacea and very pretending answer: "Inspiration comes from thinking!" ”
Obviously, the male reporter was not satisfied with Lin Nan's answer, and was preempted by a reporter behind him when he asked a question: "Mr. Lin, how many films will there be in the "Chainsaw" series, can you reveal the shooting plan for this series of movies?" ”
"According to the current estimate, there should be seven parts in the "Saw Horror" series, and each one is not completely independent, but a complete story about the saw that is combined together, I believe it will definitely satisfy fans, as for the specific shooting plan for the time being, but we will definitely complete it as soon as possible!"
