Chapter 172: Premiere

Just when Lin Nan started filming "Those Years", the post-production of the second part of "Chainsaw" led by Shang Yi to the United States was almost completed, because the same team from the same company was invited to do it, so it was handy, at least there was no need to re-adapt to the style of the film and Lin Nan's requirements.

And the special effects company in the United States is also very happy that Lin Nan continued to choose them to do special effects for "Chainsaw", after all, being able to do special effects for a successful movie is also a good publicity for their company, so they are also doing their best.

For the special effects of the second part, Lin Nan's requirements are higher than those of the first part, and there are many more shots that require special effects in the second part than in the first part, so the work time is also longer than that of the first part, so that the special effects work of the second part of "Chainsaw" was completed for nearly a month, and after completion, Shang Yi did not return to Huaxia, but went directly to the twentieth Century Fox headquarters in California.

Twentieth Century Fox received Shang Yi warmly, because they knew that the company behind this man had a card that all Hollywood companies wanted to capture, and even they had spent a lot of money to grab it from other giant companies.

After being received, Shang Yi expressed his intentions, and handed over the second part of "Chainsaw" to Twentieth Century Fox, who decided to release the relevant matters.

Twentieth Century Fox immediately started an internal discussion after getting the finished film of the second part of "Chainsaw", and the result of the discussion is that there will be many classic films released in North America in the second half of the year, and "Chainsaw" will be greatly affected if it is released during this period of time, and Twentieth Century Fox must be very cautious about this film that cost a lot of money to get, so they decided to put this film to be released early next year, so that they will also have enough time to do some arrangements and publicity work, It can also maximize the benefits!

Shang Yi called Lin Nan to tell Lin Nan in detail about the resolution of Twentieth Century Fox as soon as he got this result, and Lin Nan, who was filming, thought about it and told Shang Yi to agree to Twentieth Century Fox's plan.

Lin Nan clearly knows that Twentieth Century Fox must know more than himself about the North American and European markets, so the decision they made must be the most appropriate, coupled with the News Corp. behind Twentieth Century Fox, Lin Nan does not have any doubts about the company's publicity ability.

This is when "Those Years" just started filming, and now two months have passed, and Lin Nan has begun post-production of "Those Years".

"Those Years" as a movie with the theme of youth love, no special effects are used at all, the domestic team is fully capable of this task, the post-processing is mainly editing and music, the editing is completed by the team of Nanshan Film and Television Company, and the music Lin Nan was handed over to Mu'an's company, for the ability of Mu'an Company, Lin Nan trusts it very much.

Because the shooting task was completed ahead of schedule, there was more time left for post-production, and Lin Nan was not in a hurry, leading the team to try to do the best in the movie!

In mid-October, after a busy month, post-production for Those Years was finally completed.

After that, Lin Nan immediately contacted Chuangu Entertainment, Lin Nan or Nanshan Film and Television Company's biggest problem now is that no matter where it is, it does not have the right to distribute films, and can only be distributed through other film companies.

In Europe and the United States, we have to go through Twentieth Century Fox, and in China, we have to go through ancient entertainment, not only do we have to be stripped of a layer of profit every time, but this feeling of being controlled by others is not very good.

But now Lin Nan has nothing to do about it, he doesn't want to have the right to distribute films in Europe and the United States, and he can't get it, unless he can really dominate the global film market one day, and he can make Hollywood tremble by stomping his feet, then maybe there is still a little possibility; As for the domestic distribution rights, although it has not yet reached the impossible level, it is also full of difficulties!

Today, the five film and television companies that have mastered the distribution rights in China are all companies established in the embryonic stage of the domestic film market in the last century, and they all have a history of several decades, and they can be said to be well-deserved veterans in the domestic film market, and in addition, there is a more important point!

That is, among the five giants, 71 Film Studio is completely controlled by the political axe, and among the other four, the political axe also holds at least 50% of the shares, for a joint-stock company, 50% of the equity represents the absolute right to speak, not to mention that the shareholder is still the political axe, so if you want to obtain the right to distribute the film in China, it is almost inevitable to let the political axe become a shareholder and actually control the company, otherwise it is impossible.

Qualifications, state control, the former condition Nanshan Film and Television Company is not up to standard, and the latter condition Lin Nan has his own concerns, so it is really a long way to go to obtain domestic film and television distribution rights, at least in the short term.

The release of "Those Years" Lin Nan has already negotiated with Chuangu Entertainment and has also set some plans, and now it is time to inform Chuangu Entertainment that the plan will start.

After receiving the notice, Chuangu Entertainment soon began to use the channels in its hands to negotiate with the theater party, and now it is much easier to negotiate than before, after all, Lin Nan is no longer the unknown junior who just stepped into the film and television industry.

Two movies have been sold in succession, and the latter has even created a miracle of Chinese films, and Lin Nan is now quite famous in the circle because of this.

In the entertainment industry, in many cases, fame is the guarantee of movies, which is why many people like to use big stars.

Why are those big stars worth so much? Because in a sense, fame is the box office!

A movie starring a big star, no matter how bad it is, even if it is sprayed again, the box office will not be bad, at least it will definitely not lose money, and the worst result is nothing more than making less money.

And with Lin Nan's current fame and the popularity of "Those Years", the theater side also happily decided to directly give "Those Years" 7,000 big screens!

When "People in Embarrassment" was released last year, the whole of China added up to 10,000 big screens, and now a year has passed, the big screens in China have reached more than 12,000, which can be said to have grown a lot!

In addition, "Those Years" was released relatively early and was at the forefront of the annual Chinese New Year file, and there were not too many high-quality movies released at this time, so "Those Years" could directly get 7,000 big screens.

Lin Nan is also quite satisfied with the result of the theater side, the 7,000 big screen is very good, you must know that when Xing Ye's "Shaolin Football" was released last year, it was 7,000 screens!

After the negotiation between Chuangu Entertainment and the theater chain in the mainland, Nanshan Film and Television Company also sent people to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia to discuss the release of "Those Years" with the distribution companies in these places.

With the support of Lin Nan's fame, the distribution companies in these places were naturally happy to accept "Those Years".

In the end, "Those Years" is scheduled to be released simultaneously in China on November 5, while Southeast Asia will be slower, because the company there is still working on the dubbing of the film, and it may not be released until the end of November.

Lin Nan didn't care about these either, although the release was not synchronized and would affect some box offices, but Lin Nan didn't care, because Southeast Asia was originally a small head, and the box office that these places could receive may not be as much as that of Taiwan.

After deciding on the release date, at the suggestion of Lin Nan, Nanshan Film and Television Company immediately held a premiere for "Those Years".

The premiere is a part of the process that a film must go through, mainly to celebrate, promote, and play the trailer, so that the media critics who participate in the premiere can see some highlights or even the whole movie, and then use their publicity to attract more people to the cinema to buy tickets to watch the movie.

At the premiere, the film's lead actors are usually present and interact with the audience, during which media reporters can interview the actors up close and give an overview of what the film is about.

With the prosperity of the Chinese film market, the premieres of many movies have also become extremely luxurious, such as "Hero" released last year, the grand scale of its premiere made Lin Nan secretly smack his tongue when he heard it, and it is said that it cost tens of millions of dollars to build.

For the premiere of "Those Years", although Lin Nan is not stingy, it is impossible to spend 10 million to hold a premiere.

First of all, films of the genre "Those Years" simply don't need such lavish premieres; Secondly, the cost of filming in those years was about 20 million, and as for the publicity, it didn't cost much, and the total cost was less than 25 million.

A movie that didn't cost 25 million with filming and promotion and spent 10 million for its premiere? Unless Lin Nan's head is drugged!

On October 20th, the premiere of "Those Years" was officially held in Haidu, and there is a reason why Lin Nan took Haidu as his first stop, because his network is all concentrated in this area, and it will be a lot easier in many ways to take Haidu as the first stop.

The premiere held in Haidu was the first one, so Lin Nan also attached great importance to it, and almost all the main actors came to this premiere.

As for inviting the media and film critics, it is much simpler now, when "People Are in Embarrassment" premiered, Lin Nan wanted to invite some large authoritative media and also use the energy of ancient entertainment, but now, just his Lin Nan's name is here, and those large media will also sell him a face!
