Chapter 48 Speeches
Liu Yifei traveled back and forth between school and home during this time, at school on Saturdays and Sundays, and at home during the week, with professional teachers on both sides to train, and seemed very busy.
"It's rare to see you in the week, why are you so depressed?"
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, who had a sad face.
"Recently, I have been training, and I can't go up a little higher, or it's hard to keep it up, so I thought I'd ask the teacher, she's an associate professor."
"What should I do, the teacher is not in a rut, right? Do you think that a few of the people who release records and albums now are all-round, and they are also high-pitched, don't you know what your own talent is? ”
In Lin Nan's opinion, Liu Yifei just used her attitude towards acting to sing, but the treble really depends on talent.
"But I just want to do a good job, is that wrong?"
Liu Yifei's big black eyes looked at Lin Nan, obviously the latter guessed correctly.
"That's right, it's encouraging. But don't affect your mood, Jay Chou is so hot, you let him try the treble, but he can't go up. ”
Lin Nan gave an example.
"How can you give such an example."
Liu Yifei said this, but there was already a smile on her face.
"By the way, Mr. Wang of Huayi has been looking for my mother again, and they want to sign me, so they have looked for it before."
"I guess Auntie still hasn't given me the right words, right?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.
Liu Yifei nodded, "My mother and godfather plan to let me stop making TV series in the future and develop on the big screen, but Director Feng currently has no role suitable for me." ”
"Also, I heard that a big drama is being made, and there will be no other news in the short term."
"Aren't you very busy, why do you have time to come to school?"
Liu Yifei thought of something and asked rhetorically. In those two days, she sent a text message to Lin Nan, but Lin Nan never replied, and only after a few days did she say that she was too busy and forgot.
"I just feel like I should come, so I'm going to meet you."
Lin Nan didn't care about Liu Yifei's yin and yang weirdness at all, and said with a smile.
"Hmph, for the sake of your box office hits, I don't have the same knowledge as you."
……
The two of them walked around the school by the way, Liu Yifei was full of expectations for the big screen, and even began to think about making a movie between Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, Lin Nan admired her head, she dared to think about it.
The daily box office of "Stone" gradually declined, and as Lin Nan expected, it dropped to six figures on the 18th, which also indicates that it can be prepared for the next release.
Lin Nan was very simple and decided to release the film after the end of the day on the 20th, and he made most of the money he could earn, and he didn't have to worry about those scraps.
From the first to the twentieth, "Stone" was lucky, picked a good schedule, had almost no competitors, and finally locked in the box office of 154.68 million.
Hong Kong Island even released the film two days earlier than the mainland, with a total of 16 days and a box office of 11.6 million.
When these two figures were fixed in the headlines of various media, everyone's first reaction was almost the same: Lin Nan made a fortune.
Many boring insiders have already calculated Lin Nan's profits, and Lin Nan on dog days has earned about seven times in addition to the cost!
"Director Lin, does the company need to invest?"
……
On the second day of the movie, Lin Nan began to hear this sentence, even Ning Hao's bad monkey had many people who wanted to buy shares, and he and Xing Aina thought about it again and again, but they all rejected it one by one.
Along with the Stones box office, there is also the awards gala at the closing ceremony of Cannes.
Wang Xiaoshuai's "Green Red" was nominated for the Palme d'Or and Best Actor respectively, but in the end it won the Grand Jury Prize, and the Best Actor also went to other countries.
What interests Lin Nan is this male protagonist, who first came into contact with movies when he was eighteen or nineteen years old, won the Best New Actor in Berlin with "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" from a non-professional background, and was directly nominated for the Cannes Best Actor for the fourth film.
Looking at Wang Xiaoshuai's jury award again, Lin Nan remembered Gu Changwei's "Peacock", and I don't remember who said a sentence: the second place is the biggest loser.
Isn't the Grand Jury Award a foil for the Palme d'Or?
There are not a few directors who have won the jury award in China, but why is only Chen Kaige standing on the altar directly after coming out of Cannes?
Because "Farewell My Concubine" is the Palme d'Or, the film and the awards have achieved each other and jointly established his status.
This time, the box office share of "Stone" needs to be watched by Lin Nan's own people, but if they want to come to the theater, they will not deliberately drag it, how can they say that Lin Nan also made them a lot of money, and there is "Hidden in the Dust" that he relied on to win the silver bear.
According to the urine sex above, a wave of seminars is indispensable.
Lin Nan and Ning Hao have both received notices, and they will open together when the crew of "Qinghong" comes back.
One won the award, and the other just won a high box office, which is just right.
Of course, there are also directors and producers of other films to be released this year, as well as heads of major theaters, film companies, etc.
Lin Nan and Gu Changwei didn't hide when they came back from Berlin, but they didn't expect to come back after three months.
The person who conveyed the notice was Han Sanping, who was also one of the participants.
"This is a good thing, don't always be troublesome, show your face in front of the leader, no matter how many people ask for it, you can't ask for it."
On the issue of attitude, Han Sanping preached, which was exactly the same as Director Tian Zhuangzhuang.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I promise to actively participate and will not slack off."
Lin Nan quickly bowed his head and softened.
Within two days, the seminar began, the bureau started, and the association organized manpower.
When we arrived at the scene, we saw that there were many actors present, mainly a few big directors, and the crew was more or less followed by a few main actors.
Outside, Ning Hao and Lin Nan met Wang Xiaoshuai, and the male and female protagonists were all around.
"Congratulations to Director Wang for winning the award in Cannes."
The two stepped forward to say hello.
"Thank you, and congratulations to you, "Stone" is a big hit at the box office."
Wang Xiaoshuai looks in a good mood, although he missed out on the Palme d'Or, he is already content.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the starring role of "Qinghong", Gao Yuanyuan and Li Bin. This is director Lin Nan and director Ning Hao. ”
Wang Xiaoshuai introduced the two sides separately.
"Director Lin is good, Ning Hao is good."
"Hello, although "Qinghong" has not yet been released in China, your Zhou Zhiruo can still be remembered by me."
Ning Hao shook hands with Gao Yuanyuan and said by the way.
Lin Nan stood next to Ning Hao and smiled, this guy is quite good at talking.
"Let's get in." Wang Xiaoshuai proposed.
As he spoke, several more cars arrived, all of them were members of the association, and actors who appeared on the screen from time to time.
As for the leadership, it must have been the last to arrive.
One-third of the venue were actors, directors and practitioners with the kind of orchestration, and the rest were private enterprises and filmmakers.
Director Chen's speech was full of private goods, and he talked about his "Wuji", from art and magic to big productions and market prospects, not to mention, the people who listened to it were enthusiastic.
"A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" seems to have been filmed, this is not a commercial film.
Zhang Yimou said very tactfully, he thinks that what can make the industry flourish quickly is high-box office movies, the audience will continue to spend money to buy tickets when they are happy, and the theater chain and production companies can make money, so they will continue to invest, and they can attract more funds to come in.
When it comes to high-grossing movies, it undoubtedly offends some of the old directors here.
Lin Nan suddenly felt that Chen Kaige was quite cunning, not only carrying private goods, but also not offending people.
The speeches of film companies and theaters are very professional, after all, they are the upstream and downstream of the industry, and they are closest to money.
Today's theme is the development of the industry, and the popular point is money.
The most named are film companies and theaters, and the major film groups are nothing, they have always worked hard, but there are too many people and movies that need help.
Although movies are high-return, they are also high-risk, and several major groups are often stretched thin for a lot of time, so they have also started the layout of the whole industry.
The speech of the cinema line was much bolder, especially the cinemas of several private enterprises, focusing on Wanda, and directly made it clear that the company would continue to expand the scale of the cinema line, how many theaters to build at least every year, and how much money to invest, and the leaders had a smile when they listened.
"It's really rich."
Ning Hao whispered to Lin Nan.
didn't wait for Ning Hao to say the second sentence, he was named, as the director of "Stone", he couldn't escape this catastrophe.
Lin Nan sat next to Ning Hao, motionless, trying to keep a low profile and not attract attention.
This product is also private, saying that there is too little support for new directors now, all pointing to old directors and big directors, and there are only a few who can sell seats, and they are too busy to be busy, so they should increase their help to new directors and allow failure.
He used all his net worth to shoot "Incense" and rushed to his grandmother's house, if Lin Nan hadn't given him a chance, he would have worked in another crew, at most he would be an assistant director.
"Well, supporting newcomers, this is a good suggestion, if the industry wants to develop well, it needs to continue to have new forces to join in."
The leader above nodded and said.
was sold by Ning Hao like this, and Lin Nan's name was really pointed on it.
On this occasion, Lin Nan can't say that he is a joke that he only takes care of the people around him.
"The success of "Stone" has a very positive impact on the market, I believe that various theaters have also benefited a lot, and now there are not many movies like this that are not high in cost and can be popular, for the benefit of the industry market, Lin Nan, what suggestions do you have, speak out boldly."
The leader completely blocked the back road, what can Lin Nan say?
Let's replace the old pedants of the film festival? The official wants high-grossing commercial films to drive the market, but they crowd out commercial films in awards?
To put it bluntly, it should be the way to die.
"I think director Zhang Yimou just said well, first of all, we should support the development of commercial films, foreign blockbusters come in, and only domestic commercial films can be in front."
Lin Nan could only say sorry to Director Zhang in his heart, take you on top, who called himself too young.
"Secondly, Ning Hao is really right, now there is too little help for new directors, my first film was that I took part of the funds myself, and Shangying helped me, and my own part of the funds was earned back from the sale of the copyright of "Blind Well" directed by Li Yang.
At the beginning, the film was released with the meaning of helping, as long as the box office was shared, the copyright was left to me, for which I am very grateful. ”
Speaking of which, the faces of the people who came from Shangying were all smiles, on the other hand, Mr. Han smiled a little reluctantly, many people knew that at that time, Zhongying rejected Lin Nan's investment request.
"In the end, I don't know if you have noticed, our own film festivals in China seem to be not very friendly to commercial films, except for the first big production "Hero", it is difficult for other commercial films to win awards at domestic film festivals.
went to the film festival, no matter how much attention it received, but in the end, it was very likely to be a foil for unknown films. ”
Lin Nan wanted to get past it, but he couldn't hold back for a while, and still said the last point, Ning Hao was tugging at his clothes.
