Chapter 9 Release

The budget is four million, which is really about the same budget.

Lin Nan took the film back to the school to edit the post-editing stage, and it would be a fool not to take advantage of it.

The school is also very generous, after all, 80% of this movie is a student of the school, and I don't support anyone who supports it.

Because the advantages of this movie lie in the setting and plot, and the cost is also low, the post-production is also simple.

Unlike those big-budget commercial films or films with special effects, the post-production alone has to be measured by years.

A group of seniors slapped their chests and made a sound to ensure that they would be done in half a month.

Looking at the way they played chicken blood, Lin Nan knew that they would definitely stay up late and work overtime, after all, the movie was like their own children, and everyone was still enthusiastic at this time.

The review and release permission are all done with the help of Shangying, and it is not a big problem to think about it, the sample film and the final finished film are absolutely the same as planned, and the review is only the content review.

The next thing to consider is when it will be released.

At the end of last month, when Lin Nan and they made a movie, there was a big move in the domestic film and television industry, and "Hero" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

The country was boiling, and the man behind Zhang Dadao once shouted: "Hero" will not win the award.

In the end, he lost to the German movie "Love in Africa", and public opinion changed the limelight for a while.

But fortunately, two days later, he won the Golden Bauhinia Award.

I heard that I am participating in the Academy Awards on Hong Kong Island in the past two days, and if nothing else, the main awards are for "Infernal Affairs".

Others and the American Academy Awards were founded with the same purpose, only to serve their own people, and the one across the sea has an award for the best foreign language film, for foreign films to compete for.

And the Academy Awards on Hong Kong Island, the horizon can be high to the horizon, and it will be more and more deviated in the future.

Lin Nan looked at the account, the four million can be said to have been spent on the blade, and the salaries of the school classmates and the remuneration of the senior brothers in other departments have been settled.

Coupled with the rental cost of equipment and the cost of filming, Lin Nan couldn't afford to play with film and rented a digital camera.

Calculated bit by bit, there are still more than 80,000 left, Lin Nan is ready to wait for the post-production to be completed, give them bonuses, and finally if you can save some leftovers, then eat.

Shangying and Lin Nan finally determined the time for the completion of post-production, and he vowed to ensure that it would be completed by mid-term.

And the result of Shangying's shot is that the review and license are perfectly solved, saying that it is post-production, but it is just tinkering.

Finally, when it came to the release time, Shangying wanted to put it in the second half of the year, but Lin Nan refused.

He doesn't want to die, but there are "Mobile Phone" and "Infernal Affairs" behind him, so what kind of death will he have to die.

Lin Nan wants the first half of the year, and the second half of the year can accept early August at the latest, because "Infernal Affairs" was introduced in early September, and "Mobile Phone" in December.

The last pull, since it is the first half of the year, it will be May 1st, which happens to be Labor Day.

Lin Nan decisively accepted, this is 03 years, and Labor Day is a seven-day holiday.

Set the time, Lin Nan has to go and see the senior brothers who are in charge of the later stage, is it too reckless to set the release date by himself.

In case something goes wrong, do you really take a sample film and show it?

When Lin Nan arrived, they gave good news that it had been completed.

calmed down his nervousness, Lin Nan contacted Shangying and came over to watch the final film.

"The plot is completely the same, the colors and sounds are more perfect, and some goofs are also well retouched......."

Shangying took the final film.

"Brothers, it will be released on May Day, and it will only be a month after the filming is completed. It's time to witness our results, and remember to call more people to the theater when the time comes."

Lin Nan asked the big guy to mobilize the surrounding groups, and everyone happily accepted.

There are many students who support it, but most of them scoff at it.

"What kind of film can a group of kids who haven't left school make, and the box office will definitely knock down grandma's house."

Most people purely watch the excitement, and only a few people participate in the crew in the school.

Facing the angry Zhu Yawen and others, Lin Nan had to persuade them to calm down and not get angry, "I voted 1.8 million, and I'm not angry."

On the 24th, Liu Yifei returned to school, "I signed a new play, which is adapted from a game, and I joined the group at the end of the year."

Lin Nan knew that it was Immortal Jianyi.

"Why didn't you tell me when you made a movie?" Liu Yifei was very fierce and glared at Lin Nan.

The fierce Baba looks good-looking, and the eyes are big.

"Your mom said you had an arrangement." Lin Nan didn't lie.

When she was contacted, it was Liu's mother who answered the phone, and this was what she meant in the original words, and wished Lin Nan all the best and was very polite.

"Ah, my mother didn't tell me", Liu Yifei instantly looked annoyed.

Lin Nan didn't speak, just looked at the girl like this, very comfortable.

may be in the eyes of Liu's mother, there is a high probability that few of her daughter's classmates will have a big future, including Lin Nan, a poor boy from the northwest.

At the end of April, some newspaper media began to report on the student crew of this film school. Upper shadow contact.

For the first time, Lin Nan was interviewed by several people, including his participation in Li Yang's "Blind Well", which were all publicity materials.

He was named director, editor and producer, and this news was reported in the newspaper and was ridiculed by many people.

"The world is ...... down".

"It's people and ghosts who are all directors."

……

"Lin Zi, don't care about those words", Zhu Yawen comforted Lin Nan, who didn't take it to heart.

Afterwards, Lin Nan went to find his old class.

"Do you want to change majors"?

Teacher Zhou looked like he had seen a ghost, looked at his students, and confirmed again.

"Yes, teacher," Lin Nan affirmed.

The school has this regulation, the premise is that Lin Nan must meet the above conditions, and he has to apply for it himself.

Academic visits, transfer to the department, and prove that you are indeed more suitable for transfer to the department.

It's certain that he didn't agree, Lin Nan left, or wait for the movie to be released before talking about this issue.

Zhu Yawen didn't know where to get the MP3 and was wearing headphones.

Zhang Mu took one over, it was Dong Chou's "Milan Little Blacksmith".

"You bought"?

"Yes, you paid for it, I bought this on the same day, and a new phone."

The answer is unassailable.

"Farewell My Concubine" was playing in the screening room, but unfortunately Cheng Dieyi couldn't think of leaving at the beginning of the month.

I have to say that this film is really good, and Director Chen has been going downhill since then.

In the past, when watching movies, students were required to learn the acting skills of the actors in it and substitute themselves.

Lin Nan began to try to watch the movie from the perspective of a director, but the teacher did not agree to change his major, so he asked him to go back and think about it, but it did not prevent Lin Nan from studying on his own first.

The next day, Lin Nan went to the directing department to audit the big class.

Although it is very conspicuous that there is one more person, no one cares.

The day before May Day, Li Yang called Lin Nan and asked him if he was nervous, "Blind Well" was completely hopeless, and he was knocked to death with a stick.

On May 1, Lin Nan and a few people in the same class went to the cinema, and the promotion of the film was very attentive, there were many posters, and the gimmick was not small.

At the beginning of the millennium, there was nothing to do with movie promotion on the Internet, and the publicity relied on local push.

Mr. Yu, who was born in Beijing Film Studio, founded the first private distribution company.

But Shangying is completely single-handedly involved in distribution and publicity, and has nothing to do with any department or company here.

Sitting in the cinema, several people were in a nervous mood.

"This is my first time making a movie, and I'm still the heroine", Zhou Yang gulped down Coke and took a break.

"Who isn't".

Zhu Yawen interjected.

"I'm not", Lin Nan said silently.

This screening room was quite crowded, and two-thirds of the seats were seated.

Thanks to the small number of films now, there is no explosive output in the back, Lin Nan feels that he should be able to make money, as for how much he earns, it depends on God's will.

This film is 4 million, it is a simple house, and it may be a week tour of the theater in the back, and it is a cold schedule.

At two o'clock in the morning on the second day, Nokia's classic ringtone woke up Lin Nan.

"Hey, you say...... How much"?

Lin Nan said that he was weak and turned off the machine perfunctorily, too sleepy.

Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door of the dormitory, "Lin Zi open the door".

Rubbing his eyes and yawning, Lin Nan began to get dressed, "I don't let people rest during the holidays, what are you doing."

"Box office, box office", Zhu Yawen yelled loudly outside, fortunately it was a holiday, and they all went back, just like Lin Nan was alone in the dormitory.

"Box office? Oops I'll go, where's my phone"?

Opening the door, Zhu Yawen rushed in impatiently.

Lin Nan was turning on the phone, and he couldn't remember what he said on the phone last night.

"One million .85 million on the first day", Zhu Yawen jumped up and down, more excited than Lin Nan.

Sure enough, there was a series of missed calls on the phone.

In the blink of an eye, another one came in, "Hey, who's who?" ”

"Mr. Ren? On the shadow? Oh oh oh, hello, I'm Lin Nan, I'm Lin Nan......"

After answering the phone, Lin Nan sat there, this kind of big guy called himself, it was not real at all.

"Lin Zi, do you hear that? Shouting you", Zhu Yawen pushed Lin Nan.

"I'm not crazy, I'm not stupid, it's just 1.85 million."

"You are amazing, you have already started to install it", Zhu Yawen sat on the bunk opposite Lin Nan, crossed Erlang's legs, and gave a thumbs up from time to time, "calm enough".

"Let's go, go out to dinner, I'll have a treat, and by the way, see if any of them are still in school, and call them all."

Lin Nan slapped his thigh and made a decision, it's time to be rewarded, he gave a bonus to the post-production brothers last time, and there are still 20,000 left, count it as his own bonus.

Although it's May Day, most of the crew is there, just staring at the results, and joining the crew before is also to assist and play a start, this time the meaning is different, it's a real knife and a real gun.

During the May Day holiday, everyone had a very exciting time, Lin Nan could receive calls from Shangying every day, and the data was updated every day.

Senior brothers or classmates in school will also pay attention to the box office, or ask Lin Nan directly.

It has been so long to get a phone card, and the calls received before May Day don't add up to more than one or two.

The phone number of my old class, the phone number of other teachers, the phone number of the school leader, the phone number of the teacher of the directing department and the photography department, they all have students involved in the filming.

For teachers and leaders, this is a teaching achievement that can be included in the report.

For students, this is a glamorous resume, and anyone with a normal brain can see that the box office of this movie can definitely be higher.

During the seven-day long holiday, the box office came to the early fifteen million, and it is expected that the box office will plummet from the 8th.
