Chapter 133 Investment, "Happy Death Day" is released

Coming out of the Dolby Theatre, Tom still remembers Gisele Bundchen on the runway and Carolina Kokova's shoes falling off.

"How did you do that? Throughout the scene, she kept her expression in the same way. ”

Lin Nan had just minimized communication with Tom so as not to be embarrassed.

"Aren't they beautiful? That legs, that figure, that distinctive temperament, as if who flattered me......"

The more Tom talked, the more energetic he became, and he was hallucinating.

Someone else's flattery can only be for Leonardo next to him, not his fat Tom.

"I see Leon talking to you?"

Tom remembered something and asked.

"It's an honor, and he told me that if there is a good movie, I can work together. I was simply flattered. ”

Lin Nan was indeed a little stunned when he heard this first, but then he was excited.

He would say this to every director who has won three major awards. His company is also keen to invest in various realistic films, and if the script is good, he will even bring money to participate, which is why many independent filmmakers like him......"

As soon as Tom said this, Lin Nan really admired this, worthy of being a little plum.

The annual Golden Horse began, and Lin Nan was on the news page in an alternative way.

Zhao Yanzi was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress, and when she saw that she was about to leave, she temporarily canceled her trip, and her explanation to the media was extremely perfunctory, saying that the film academy would not approve leave.

This put Lin Nan on fire, we all know that Lin Nan has been filming "The Martian" almost in the past few months, and also attended the premieres of Golden Eagle and "Ink Attack", at this time people are staring at the post-production special effects in Hollywood, so how did he come on this long vacation?

Is the film school favoritism? Or you Zhao Yanzi is full of nonsense.

In the end, the school spoke up.

"The Film Academy supports and encourages students to participate in the development of the film industry, and there is no preference for one over the other."

That's a slap in the face.

There is a hint of wind in "The King of Kung Fu", and the actress may have been decided.

Originally, the circle was only suspicious, not sure, and Huayi also came forward to deny this rumor.

But the news that Fan Bingbing's contract will not be renewed after the expiration of his contract makes Huayi's statement less credible.

Everyone knows that Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing look like each other, they are both the first sister of Huayi who is rumored outside, and the closeness between Zhou Xunlun and Huayi, who signed this year, is not as good as these two.

Fan Bingbing's agent also did not deny the non-renewal of the contract, saying that he would respect her decision.

At this moment, some media boldly speculated that the role of "The King of Kung Fu" would be obtained by another ice soldier?

The media has guessed Liu Yifei, but none of Huayi's female artists have attracted attention.

Berlin's invitation, just like positioning, was accurately delivered to Lin Nan.

"The president of the jury this year is Paul Schrader, whom I met at the banquet two days ago."

Tom reminded.

For Lin Nan, foreigners look similar, where does he remember to live, unless they meet often.

But this reminder came to mind.

Because the foreigner said that he was looking forward to meeting Lin Nan in Berlin, he was still very puzzled at that time.

"What are you going to do without works? It's not uncommon for me to walk the red carpet. ”

"This also means inviting you to film, but the time may be a little rushed."

It's only more than three months, so it's no wonder that the time is not in a hurry.

Lin Nan has the idea of going to the three major ones in his heart, but let himself get a movie out in more than two months, even if he has a lot of books, he will be in a hurry, not to mention that both sides are still doing the post-production, and they have to watch it from time to time.

"Let me think about it."

……

Lao Jiang rarely called Lin Nan, let alone this kind of transoceanic call, I just didn't know what he thought, so he called in the middle of the night.

"My Director Jiang, can you consider jet lag? It's two o'clock in the morning on my side. ”

Lin Nan groggily complained.

"Oops, I forgot about this, just say how many times you hit before you answered."

"If there's anything, you have to call and say, you can send an email and a text message."

Saying that, Lin Nan yawned.

"That's the case, Professor Cao wrote a notebook and wanted to direct it himself, but the investment was not good, so he thought about looking for it from the alumni first, and then he couldn't find an outside company......

"Professor Cao?"

"Professor Cao, who teaches film screenwriting."

Lin Nan seemed to be a little impressed, but not very deep.

"How much?"

Lin Nan's speech at the graduation ceremony was loud, and he didn't do anything about slapping himself in the face.

"It's almost 10 million, he doesn't have your contact information, he just got your phone number from me, I'll give you a breath in advance......"

This number made Lin Nan, who was a little sleepy, sober up all of a sudden.

"Are the teachers in our school so generous now? What a script, the opening is 10 million! ”

Lin Nan raised his voice.

In his impression, there are many teachers and professors in the school who want to be directors and make movies, but most of them are literary films, usually a few million are enough.

"Professor Cao Baoping, his script is still very good, after all, it is to teach this......"

"Wait a minute? Who do you say? ”

"Professor Cao Baoping."

Lin Nan put down the phone and pinched his eyes.

"Hello? Lin Nan? ”

"I'm here, let's talk about some script."

Ten minutes later, Lin Nan hung up the phone, this book, he voted for it.

"Those words at the graduation ceremony were not in vain......"

Lin Nan covered his head with the quilt and continued to sleep.

……

The next morning, Lin Nan received a call from Cao Baoping.

Old Jiang has already brought Lin Nan's meaning.

"Mr. Cao can continue to polish the script, and there is no need to find someone else for the matter of funds."

Hanging up the phone, Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief, this matter is settled, Cao Baoping is looking for actors and attracting investment at the same time.

The protagonist seems to have set a weekly news and made an appointment, and the other supporting roles said that they could let Lin Nan refer to it.

"Ink Attack" was released, and its domestic performance was average, but Lin Nan heard that it had a good reputation in island countries and other Asian regions, but he didn't know if he could recover the cost in the end.

Wen Tsairen participated in investing in movies for the first time, and he was inexplicably a little nervous and excited.

"James, you weren't like that before."

"But in the past, I didn't come up with nearly a million dollars to invest."

Wen Ziren said this, Lin Nan really couldn't refute it, he only needed to make a good movie for Lionsgate before, don't worry too much, but this time he really took the money out.

On December 1, American time, "Happy Death Day" officially opened.

Because they were afraid that the stall would be too big and the risk would be high, Wen Ziren and Lin Nan discussed that it would only be released in North America, and Lin Nan agreed.

But after learning about the theater on the first day, Wen Zairen regretted it a little.

"Lin, I did something stupid."

Wen Ziren said with annoyance.

"That's enough, the next disc will earn it back."

Lin Nan was also distressed, and comforted Wen Ziren at the same time.

In China, a main theme movie was released, and Lin Nan heard that Han Sanping spent nearly 10 million on publicity and distribution.

But the box office of "The Ballad of Yunshui" on the first day was only about 3 million.

It's not a box office thing anymore, it's a task.

I worried about my heart and waited for three days.

Lin Nan and Wen Ziren waited for the first weekend box office of "Happy Death Day".

"14.3 million dollars!"

For a moment, Wen Ziren seemed to let go of the stone in his heart, in fact, he has always been very confident, but he cares too much.

Lin Nan was also very happy in his heart, although he changed the time and the director, "Happy Death Day" still showed good results.

"Lin, do you want to find the media to publicize it? "Happy Death Day" is currently in the top five box office list in the opening weekend. Tom was a little excited.

Lin Nan thought for a while, "Don't mention me, you are the general manager of Crystal Pictures, you and James can do it." ”

The news that Wen Tsai-jen is another horror film is a big hit, and it was reported by the Hollywood Daily that this time he is no longer just a director, but also a producer and producer.

Lionsgate did not hesitate to praise Wen Zairen in front of the media, "James will be a successful independent filmmaker." ”

In December's domestic schedule, there are only three movies that have attracted the most attention, "The Ballad of Yunshui", "Wounded City" and "Golden Armor".

Both the industry and the media unanimously believe that this Chinese New Year file will be the world of "Golden Armor".

Lin Nan remembered that Huang Bo said before that his new movie would be released at the end of December, or a few days after "Golden Armor", and now looking at the situation, it is estimated that the film schedule may be much lower than the theater chain.

"Tian Tian, did he really promise to come back?"

Lu Zheng asked.

"Brother Lin, Director Lin, I didn't explicitly promise to come, I just said that it depends on the situation and ......I will come when I have time."

Jing Tian replied. Her thoughts were already drifting away.

Participating in "The Martian" has attracted the attention of many people in the industry, not only because the production of this movie is very large, but more importantly, this is Lin Nan's movie, so far, Lin Nan's movies have been earned.

But on the other hand, it is too difficult to recoup the investment of 300 million yuan, so you can only take the global distribution route, and Jing Tian is the only two supporting actresses besides Zeng Li.

This means that the films she participated in will go to the international market.

"Otherwise, you make a phone call or send a message, invite again, if he can come, plus Director Ning Hao, the press conference will definitely be big news at that time, and it will be of great help to you."

"Uncle Lu, me."

"Okay, you can get in touch with me for a while, I'll have to go and prepare for your press conference now."

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he walked away.

Jing Tian didn't have a chance to say it.

She also wanted Lin Nan to come to the press conference of her film and EP, but it was not for that utilitarian purpose.

"Shall I remind him?"

Jing Tian muttered in her heart.

Recently, she has been studying very hard, and Nortel's art exam also requires cultural grades, but mathematics and geography are too difficult for her.

Whenever she couldn't see it, she thought about what Lin Nan said, and she had energy.

Lin Nan cleaned up his head, he received an invitation to the movie screening, "Bloody Diamond", very unexpected.

A few days ago, Tom was still sighing for Leonardo, and he was only nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor once.

After today, there is a high probability that there will be one more person in the list of nominees for Best Actor.

"Lin, it's a surprise to receive an invitation to the Appian Trail, right?"

Lin Nan nodded, it was quite unexpected.

"At this time, as long as you are a well-known director, filmmaker and judge in Hollywood, you will be invited. Hollywood's craziest time of the year has arrived. ”

"What do you mean?"

"In the next two or three months, it's time to spend money on public relations awards, and there are almost endless banquets and drinking parties.

A young director like you, who has won the Berlin Silver Bear Award, is definitely the object of invitation. ”

Tom affirmed.

On the first day of March, ask for a monthly pass, thank you.
