Chapter 47 Achievements
The cost of "Stone" exploded as early as the time of publicity.
The production cost of eight million, compared with today's box office, is simply a huge profit.
From filming to release, "Stone" took less than half a year and created such a huge profit, how many listed companies do not have such performance.
For a while, the film and television industry was restless.
There are many people who are envious, and the official media has taken this opportunity to encourage the active development of the film and television culture industry, and a large number of private funds have accelerated to this industry.
For the box office of "Stone", many media interviewed the director or company that will release the new film this year.
Director Chen waved his hand, "When "Wuji" is released at the end of the year, everyone will know what a real blockbuster is. ”
"I watched "Stone", Ning Hao, as a young director, controls it well, Lin Nan is the best director and screenwriter of the younger generation, and his script is first-class."
Zhang Yimou was interviewed in his busy schedule.
Most directors are confident in their films.
"Seven Swords" has Xu Ke, "If Love" is the work of Chen Kexin and Zhou Xun and Jin Chengwu, and "Myth" is a project controlled by Yinghuang and China Film, with the blessing of Chenglong, and it is also an oath.
No matter how the outside world reports, Lin Nan stays in school or company very low-key, and cares about the box office data from time to time.
"Stone" came to the twelfth day, and the box office still had nearly 7 million, which has surpassed "Return to Youth".
Ning Hao became famous in a fight, and Huang Bo benefited the most from the starring role, and has received many film appointments.
Now the industry is waiting to see the final results of "Stone", and the most talked about is the producer, producer and screenwriter of this movie, Lin Nan.
How many times the investment of eight million can be made will be revealed in a few days.
As the promoter, the light has made a lot of money in terms of reputation.
Prior to this, almost all major film groups intervened in the promotion and distribution of domestic films with a box office of hundreds of millions.
As a private enterprise, this is the first time that Guangguang has completely operated the promotion and distribution of a high-grossing movie, and it is a small-cost hit.
Wang Changtian has been proud of the spring breeze in the past few days and invited Lin Nan several times, but the latter is really not available.
Since the day the box office of "Stone" exceeded 100 million, he has no idle time.
Mr. Ren of Shangying came to the company in person, Lin Nan accompanied him all morning, and Zhongying moved when he heard the wind and joined in the fun together.
I also met Xiying in my hometown, but they really don't have any resources to take a shot, so they can only say that they have deepened the relationship, after all, they are fellow villagers.
Hua Yi once again threw an olive branch to Lin Nan, with a strong willingness to invest in his next movie, no matter how big the plate.
Wanda's cinema line is a subsidiary business of commercial real estate, but it is eyeing the cultural industry, and the schedule of "Stone" this time is obviously high, and when I saw Lin Nan, I also mentioned the matter of investment.
Famous big agents, actors, stars, and brokerage companies are about to break through the threshold of Lin Nan's company during this time, and even some companies focusing on TV dramas have also met with Lin Nan.
Not very good at interpersonal communication in business has always been Lin Nan's shortcoming, so he is also working hard these days.
The company's employees are more excited than one another, these days to see a lot of big people, the most important thing is that this year's year-end bonus is going to increase.
Because there are few people in the company, Lin Nan is also very generous, and he has not been stingy when he has issued year-end bonuses in the past two years, and he sold the copyright of "Hidden in the Dust" at the beginning of the year, plus "Stone" that is being released, this year's bonus will definitely not be less.
"Don't be scared one by one, it's you, you come in and add water three times in half an hour, is Liu Dehao so good-looking?"
Lin Nan counted a young lady at the front desk, and she didn't stop until the other party's cheeks were red, and the others on the side were still coaxing, "It's handsome." ”
As the box office of "Stone" continues to grow, the Magic City International Film Festival sent an invitation to the crew.
The film festival, which was originally scheduled for late June, issued an invitation at this time, which is actually out of the rules.
Lin Nan figured out the truth.
Although the Modu International Film Festival was recognized as an A-class film festival by the International Film Producers Association in 94, it has really embarrassed the face of A-class film festivals over the years, and they are a little unpopular.
Not to mention the slow development in recent years, I have also made a common mistake, I like to give awards to foreign films to improve my image, and the domestic award-winning movies are often not famous, and I feel that I have run away with the style of the Golden Rooster.
In the past two years, domestic films have developed rapidly, but the prolific Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and others have never been to the Magic Capital International Film Festival, so it can be imagined.
There are awards outside, but they are still discriminated against in their own homes, who wants to be angry.
Lin Nan didn't want to go, he was already a Silver Bear director, and even if he went, he would be an award guest or judge, or he would definitely give me an award. However, he seems to have heard that Jiang Wenli is one of the judges of this year's year.
Seeing that Ning Hao was a little moved, Lin Nan couldn't refuse, "Do you want to go?" ”
Ning Hao nodded, he really wanted to go, although this film festival is a bit unreliable, but it is an A-class film festival, what if he can win an award?
The word-of-mouth and box office of "Stone" have achieved a win-win situation, and he still wants to fight it.
"If you want to go, you can go, I won't go." Lin Nan made his attitude clear.
"And what if "Stone" wins Best Screenplay?"
"If you take it, you will take it for me, but I can guarantee that it will be ninety percent useless.
Don't you see who the chairman of the main competition unit and the chairman of the newcomer award unit are?
It's Mr. Wu and Section Chief Jia! are all people who are addicted to feature films. ”
Feature films are generally adapted from real-life events that are not easy to be noticed by most people, and even more so in China, bordering on paranoia.
This is also the reason why Lin Nan was praised by those "old-timers" because of "Hidden in the Dust".
Ning Hao still wants to try, there have been too many compliments around him recently, he wants to try it, in case he gets an award, wouldn't it be the icing on the cake.
Ning Hao smiled and said, "I'd better try it, whether there is a prize or not, it's time to broaden the circle of contacts, they should want to go too." ”
"Okay, you can contact Huang Bo and them yourself, and give a reply over there by the way."
Ning Hao said so, and Lin Nan was speechless.
The real improvement of the Magic Capital Film Festival should not be until next year, and the presidium will change blood drastically.
Ning Hao went back to contact a few leading actors, told them about the film festival, and asked them to keep a good schedule.
"Stone" was still being screened, and the box office was less than a third of its peak, when the good news came back from the Cannes Film Festival.
"Qinghong" was shortlisted for the main competition unit, just like "Peacock" in Berlin, which was well received by the jury.
Its premiere was also held in Cannes.
There are box office data of "Stone" on the Internet as usual every day, but the news of "Qinghong" has also followed.
Lin Nan saw the promotional poster, taken from the Cannes Film Festival, on it is the young Gao Yuanyuan, who has the posture of a three-point beautiful woman, looking very comfortable and beautiful, no wonder so many men like her.
Lin Nan's company's performance this year is very brilliant, among the companies in the film and television industry, he is the most eye-catching one, only about movies.
Huayi has participated in a lot of movies this year, and the film and television industry is a high-risk industry, and it is still unknown whether it can make a profit.
Counting the endorsement notices of a large number of actors and stars under his hands, Huayi's book performance can make it firmly sit in the leading position of private enterprises in the film and television industry.
But compared with Lin Nan's achievements in the past half a year, the two Wang presidents felt that it was not a taste, their business was so big, and there were many people, so they were busy with these achievements.
On the other hand, Lin Nan just made a movie, sold the copyright, and invested in another one, and he got so much, and no one would feel psychologically unbalanced if he changed it.
Watching the box office of "Stone" go up day by day, how much money can Lin Nan get, everyone is an insider, and he is the only producer who can calculate it.
The number of people who hit Lin Nan's next movie idea has increased a lot, and everyone found that so far, Lin Nan's highest-cost movie is only 20 million, which is "Return to Youth", and the cost of other movies is not high, but all of them are earned, and a lot of money is made.
"People who eat alone will have no friends."
There are old-timers who point to Lin Nan and beg for a life in this circle, which requires unity.
Lin Nan thought about this question, as if the last two movies were indeed a bit dazzling.
"Hidden in the Dust" and "Stone" were both independently invested and produced by him, and the results were so good that they stimulated his peers.
This industry is like this, it's so bad that no one cares about you, it's great, you can't eat alone yet, there are so many bad things.
Soon Lin Nan put this matter behind him.
Since signing the contract with Lionsgate, they have also paid more attention to Lin Nan's situation in China, and after learning about the box office of "Stone", they also sent a congratulations, and said that the filming of "Dead Silence" is going well, and Wen Ziren is very involved in filming.
Small and big is Lionsgate's specialty, Class B films have little investment, short cycles, fast releases, and can harvest box office, this is the style that Lionsgate likes, "Stone" is this genre, the difference is that Lionsgate prefers horror films.
"When the time comes, there will be a place for you in the publicity, I hope you know." The people of Lionsgate said this to Lin Nan.
"Of course, I am also an investor and have an obligation to cooperate."
Lin Nan is thinking about the next movie, whether to continue to go with a small cost, or to make a big wave.
It's very exciting to be small and big, and with two in a row, he is a little addicted, but which director can refuse a big production, no.
When it comes to big productions, they are nothing more than science fiction, magic, epic, and other films with special effects, high investment, long cycles, and a lot of preparation and post-production teams.
The director needs to have a strong on-site organization ability, and even needs a supporting director team to assist, the key is whether the current market can support profitability, it is difficult to say.
Lin Nan has to think carefully about what genre to choose for the next movie.
From the China Film side, Lin Nan got a data, which is the current number of theaters and screens under major domestic theater chains, as well as the expected increase in the number.
"Hero" has an investment of 30 million US dollars, and its profit also depends on the global box office and copyright, and the cost of "Ambush on All Sides" is also more than 30 million US dollars, and the profit still depends on the global market.
Although two or three years have passed, the increase in the number of domestic screens is still difficult to support a big production.
"Let's wait."
Looking at the data in front of him, Lin Nan dispelled the idea of a big production.
More than once perfunctory China Film and Shangying said that the next big production will be a whole production, but now it seems that at least another year will have to wait.
