Chapter 119: Blockbuster, do it yourself
"Lin, Hollywood is like this, and you should be similar on your side, the arrogance of the Eight has a long history, which is also the reason why the independent film industry was born and grown......"
While driving, Tom talked about the history of the eight Hollywood majors, arrogant, monopolistic, domineering, and unreasonable.
The boom in the independent film industry has made this a lot less so, but there are still ones.
"Tom, needless to say, buy me a plane ticket." Lin Nan said with a cold face.
"Okay then."
……
After the official announcement of the list of actors, "The Legend of Deer and Ding" has become the target of criticism by many actors, and these people were all made famous by Zhang Jizhong's "audition".
Even actor Du Chun held a press conference, saying that Zhang Jizhong's draft was shabu-shabu, hype, and mistime, so that the majority of peers should not be fooled in the future.
Huayi hurriedly issued a statement to suppress it, mainly because Huang Xiaoming's popularity has been accepted by the public, and "Condor" is too popular and has entered Hong Kong Island TV.
"Twentieth Century Fox revealed that Lin Nan, a young Chinese director, rejected their invitation to cooperate, and the remuneration included 1.2 million screenwriting fees and 2% box office share ......"
"One of the eight big Hollywood companies, Twentieth Century Fox, expressed great regret."
……
In July, the already lively entertainment industry in China has one more exciting news.
"Sissi, didn't Lin Nan say that she was going to South Korea?" Mother Liu asked.
Liu Yifei looked dazed, Lin Nan didn't tell her, just now, Zhu Yawen also called her to ask about it.
"I don't know, he didn't tell me about it."
Lin Nan's new company was surrounded by reporters.
Yue Jun came forward for an interview.
"I'm sorry, Director Lin hasn't come back yet, and we don't know the specific situation, so let's wait for him to come back."
"Yawen?
Wang Jinghua looked at Zhu Yawen in front of her, waiting for his reply.
She really wanted to know what kind of project could make Lin Nan reject a company of the level of Twentieth Century Fox.
Orange Sky's side had just hinted at her.
In the company, who is relatively close to Lin Nan, everyone knows that it is Zhu Yawen.
Zhu Yawen shook her head, "I don't know at all, I saw him in the news when he went to South Korea." ”
Those who inquire about the news at this time are very utilitarian.
"He hasn't come back yet?" Wang Zhongjun asked.
"How can the plane have a fast network, even if it rushes back non-stop, it is estimated that it is still flying in the sky at this time."
Wang Zhonglei smiled.
"Twentieth Century Fox has rejected all the offers, what is going on in his head?" Wang Zhongjun couldn't wait to change with Lin Nan.
China Film, Shangying, Guangguang, Wanda, several old cooperative relationships, are all paying attention to Lin Nan's news, but the mobile phone has been turned off, and no one can be contacted at all, and he doesn't know his return flight.
At the exit of the airport, Lin Nan looked confused, and a group of media surrounded him like arresting a criminal.
"Get out of the way." Lin Nan urged.
"Director Lin, is it true that Fox said that you rejected their invitation to cooperate?"
Lin Nan understood now, "Yes, I didn't talk about it." ”
"Can I ask Director Lin, what is the project? made Hollywood's eight major companies offer a price of 1.2 million and 2% box office share. ”
A reporter took the opportunity to grab the talk.
"What did you say?" Lin Nan was even more confused, isn't it 800,000?
Listening to several media outlets saying the same offer, Lin Nan felt even more angry at this time, ruthless enough, preemptively, the number changed, and finally he didn't know how to lift!
"Let's ......"
Lin Nan squeezed out the crowd and got into the car.
"When did this news come out?"
The employee who was driving noticed that Lin Nan's tone was a little cold, and said carefully, "In the early hours of the morning, it appeared on the portal website, and it was released by an overseas reporter. ”
At this time, the mobile phone that has just been turned on is constantly vibrating, and the text message is also prompting.
Lin Nan is one head and two big, and he has already realized that he may have been cheated by those two foreigners.
As for why the offer given to yourself is different from what you tell the media, it doesn't matter anymore.
Answering the phone, Lin Nan rubbed his eyes, "Go to Zhongying." ”
"Okay, Director Lin."
Han Sanping has been in a good mood recently, "Time and Space Cruise", "Adventure in the Center of the Earth", and other investment movies are also being completed and finalized one after another.
He knew about Lin Nan and Twentieth Century Fox in the early hours of the morning, and he was still fighting at the wine party at that time.
One of the most successful things in the past two years is to dig Lin Nan from Shangying, what about the first film invested by Shangying, and now it is not close to China Film.
"I've been thinking about you since the early hours of the morning."
Seeing that it was Lin Nan who came in, Han Sanping said with a smile.
"What is there to worry about, I have been humiliated this time."
Lin Nan pulled a face and collapsed on the sofa, revealing a decadent energy.
Seeing that Lin Nan seemed to have something in his heart, Han Sanping also put away his smile.
"What's the matter? Isn't it a good thing to be invited to cooperate by the eight Hollywood majors? Why is it that you are both rejected and humiliated? ”
"The new line is also Time Warner's, and I didn't see it arrogant at the beginning, Han always didn't know, the faces of the two people in Twentieth Century Fox ......"
Lin Nan intermittently recounted the scene at that time, especially the other party's arrogant ridicule of the domestic film industry, unable to make special effects blockbusters, and unable to engage in this kind of scientific and technological production.
While it may be somewhat true, it is disgusting to ridicule it in the blatant.
The more Han Sanping listened, the more gloomy his face became, and he was about to freeze on the frost.
"Dog thing,...... here"
Han Sanping scolded while slapping the table.
"What I talked about was a price, and what I said to the media was another, even if I went to explain to the media at this time, it was useless, preconceived."
Lin Nan was a little bitter, this dumb loss was decided.
"What kind of script?"
Han Sanping suddenly asked, Lin Nan had a bad premonition, Mr. Han's old mistake was probably committed.
"A space science fiction film, the script of going to Mars to rescue astronauts, the special effects are very difficult to do, and the cost is too great......"
The more Lin Nan spoke, the quieter his voice became, because he found that Han Sanping's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, like a wolf.
"his uncle's Twentieth Century Fox, let's do it ourselves!"
Lin Nan guessed that this would be the case, and the more he talked about spending money, the more interested he became.
"Mr. Han, this project is too big." Lin Nan poured cold water.
"Leave that alone, just tell me where the hardest part is."
"A series of problems such as large special effects, realistic special effects in outer space and alien planets, aircraft and spacesuits, will definitely require a lot of CG shots, or real shooting of special landforms......"
Lin Nan couldn't go on, Han Sanping's eyes looked at him a little hairy.
"Is there a budget?"
Lin Nan shook his head, he hadn't thought about doing this, where would he think about the budget, and he wouldn't be able to budget for a while.
"I haven't thought about the budget, but if I want to do it, I'm afraid it will take several hundred million."
Lin Nan said a word, and as soon as the words fell, he regretted it, the person in front of him was Han Sanping, the person who liked to engage in this kind of production the most, almost fascinated.
"In the later stage, can you really not handle it in China?"
Lin Nan didn't answer this question, because Han Sanping himself was shaking his head, and what the two people of Twentieth Century Fox said was indeed reasonable.
"What about going to Hollywood? New line? Or Lionsgate? ”
Han Sanping asked again, thinking of the shooting and post-production difficulties that Lin Nan said for a while, and then the sentence again: I'm afraid it will have to be several hundred million.
"It should be possible, if you take it over there and do it."
Lin Nan regretted coming to China Film a little, but he still told the truth.
"Then do it, you're also preparing for the next play anyway, didn't they say we couldn't do it? Let's get a ......."
……
Returning to the villa exhausted, Lin Nan went to bed, worrying about it in advance, it was important to sleep.
Lin Nan stayed in Zhongying for more than two hours, and he didn't deliberately hide it.
In the evening, Lin Nan, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up, and a pure white cat squatted on his chest, and Liu Yifei with a wicked smile on his side was beside him.
"Woke up?"
"Well, you forcibly woke me up."
"Hurry up, you have a lot of news today."
Lin Nan hugged the cat, sat up, and teased: "I'm wearing clothes, if I'm naked, if you come in like this, don't think about going out." ”
"Hee-hee, then I'll definitely sneak away quietly without waking you up."
Blowing the evening breeze, Lin Nan listened to Liu Yifei talk about the events of the past two days, Shu Zhan's side turned on, and the heroine of "Lust and Caution" was decided, and she was Tian Yu's girlfriend.
Her album has been confirmed to be released throughout Asia.
"There has never been a record of a rookie singer releasing their first album in Asia before, congratulations, Sissi."
"Thank you, I'll always keep the same pace as you."
The girl said sweetly.
"Then you have to work hard, I have a silver bear trophy."
"Hmph, I can't speak."
……
The domestic box office of "Adventure in the Center of the Earth" climbed to 100 million, more than the original time of more than 70 million, and the global box office also exceeded the original time of more than 200 million US dollars, to 250 million.
On Huayi's official website, this news was put to the top, and Wang Zhonglei held a press conference for this purpose.
"In the future, Huayi will insist on going overseas with films, cooperating with Hollywood, and going international, not only participating in films, but also participating in production, Sino-US co-production, ......"
Wanda has eaten the sweetness, the theater construction plan and efficiency have been doubled, and the iMax giant screen plan has also been proposed.
Only Zhongying and Shangying were slightly lighter, and only a congratulatory message was posted on the official website, on the contrary, the internal meetings and reports were much more lively.
Lin Nan is flipping through the script, Han Sanping is right, he is so young, how can he do it if he doesn't toss and toss, isn't it just a big production, it's done.
Unlike the previous scripts, there are too many things to prepare in the early stage this time, not to raise enough funds.
Many things need to be explained scientifically, and professional teams and personnel are needed to help.
For this reason, Lin Nan has asked Han Sanping to contact the relevant departments, hoping to get their support.
At the very least, help yourself solve the difficulties with the props, and of course, it would be better if you could provide more help.
This film has a very good idea, on the one hand, it shows the country's booming aerospace power, and on the other hand, it also reflects the mind and ethics of a great country, and the feelings of not abandoning and not giving up.
In Lin Nan's opinion, the green light from beginning to end of this movie should be given above.
