Chapter 169: Draw the heart and admonish Shu Zhan
End of July.
Jay Chou's self-directed and self-starred movie was released.
Everyone is paying attention to it and looking forward to the box office of this fan movie, which can bring some surprises.
But the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
The domestic box office of 4 million on the first day was far lower than expected.
and "Transformers", which was released for 20 days, rushed to 260 million at the box office.
After Donnie Yen finished promoting "The Fuse", he hurried back to the magic capital and continued filming "Ip Man".
"Director Lin, someone sent over twenty concert tickets."
Now Zhang Liangying is very popular, and it is already very good to be able to let people send twenty copies.
"There are few tickets and many people, so go and draw lots." Lin Nan said lightly.
It didn't take long for Lin Nan's phone to ring.
After waiting so long, there is finally news.
For a person who has not been complete in five tones for two lifetimes and does not know the staff, it is too difficult to copy songs.
Driving the big G, Lin Nan went straight to Nortel.
If you want to ask where the film academy is powerful, that is, from the establishment of a film to the finalization, all the talents needed in all links can be gathered here.
"Lin Nan, what are you doing in the wind and fire?"
"Break into Kyushu, ah no, I made an appointment with a composition teacher."
didn't talk much to Xue Xiaolu, Lin Nan waved his hand and ran away.
"Still breaking into Kyushu, do you want to sing it? Haha......"
Xue Xiaolu looked at Lin Nan's figure running away and complained.
In some movies, the ending song or something doesn't really matter.
But the ending song of "Painted Skin" is too classic, and it complements the movie.
Lin Nan only remembered the lyrics, but the college teacher forcibly made up for the remaining three points.
He sat in the school office and hummed all morning, almost causing a couple of professors to have a heart attack before being kicked out.
"Well, let's hear what you want."
A gray-haired professor played a piece of music.
"Yes, that's what it smells like."
Lin Nan shouted excitedly, at least eighty percent right, but it was enough.
"That's right. You said that you don't have a musical talent, and you can dream of a song when you dream, it seems that you are very distracted when you shoot "Painted Skin", haha......"
"The teacher said and laughed, many of us in the Chinese department, didn't we sit up in a dream in the middle of the night, and write a script when inspiration came?"
Lin Nantian said shamelessly.
Lin Nan's words are true, this is really the case.
"Okay, I won't listen to you about this, and the labor fee will not be less at that time."
"No problem, I'll have someone come over and settle it when I get back."
knows that Lin Nan is not bad for money, so these teachers have no intention of discounting.
These words were still spoken to him explicitly.
Lin Nan did not have a trace of dissatisfaction.
Because these teachers often help some public welfare films and student films at low prices or for free, they should do their part.
……
Cheng Long's "Rush Hour 3" determined that it could not be introduced to the mainland.
The statement given by the person in charge of China Film's imported films is very realistic.
"There are too many imported blockbusters this year, and we don't think "Rush Hour 3" has a market prospect."
Lin Nan could think of how entangled Cheng Long was.
After the huge loss of "Around the World in 80 Days", this film is the film he used to regain his Hollywood status.
Many netizens' statements were also sarcastic, saying that even if they are not introduced, it will not prevent everyone from watching them, because there will definitely be domestic piracy.
This remark was also forwarded to foreign media.
Many film and television companies mourned and chose to remain silent, happy to watch official jokes.
Because piracy is really rampant, everyone has been suffering from it.
Yang Shoucheng called Lin Nan and regretted letting Donnie Yen play Ip Man.
Because the box office of "Fuse" on the first day was only 3 million, it has been determined that it will be a big loss.
"A movie with a cost of more than 70 million, and the final box office is at most 40 million, this guy is too weak.
If it weren't for the fact that "Ip Man" was already halfway through filming, I would definitely replace him immediately......"
Hearing this, Yang Shoucheng was very annoyed.
"It's not all bad, at least he will work hard to shoot "Ip Man" next."
Lin Nan comforted.
Yinghuang has been lively in the past two days.
Yang Shoucheng became a godfather, and Zhang Baizhi gave birth to a son to Nicholas Tse.
Open the portal, and it is full of messages from Hong Kong Island artists sending blessings and visits.
Hong Kong media even commented that this is the most perfect and enviable one in the circle.
Whether this evaluation is true or not can only be verified by time.
After waiting for several days, Director Yu Mingsheng informed Lin Nan of the time and place of the launching ceremony of "The Prequel of Baolian Lantern".
This is not only the opening ceremony of the prequel, but also the media meeting of "Magic Mobile" to promote its release next year.
The venue is the Capital Exhibition Center.
Although it is an event of two TV series, "Painted Skin" is still under discussion.
""Baolian Lantern" is the only TV series I have directed, and I also participated in the prequel, and many of them are my friends......"
The audition actor is also considered to be participating. Lin Nan thought so.
The press conference of CCTV dramas is much more professional, and it will not talk about some entertainment gossip news.
Lin Nan could see that Shu Zhan was really attentive.
While talking about the filming of "Magic Mobile", he repeated the lines of the stupid girl of the Chinese brand mobile phone in it.
On the one hand, she did not forget to praise the little girl next to her in front of the media.
She's just a twenty-year-old girl herself.
Talking about the new Three Virgins actor, Jiao Enjun gave an example of Xi Shi in "Yue Wang Goujian", saying that Zhou Yang's appearance was amazing.
This is a good thing, but for Zhou Yang, it is ironic.
has Lin Nan as the heroine of a movie, and there is no one who can mix like that.
Shu Chang and Zhou Yang have both acted in Lin Nan's movies, and the reporter asked him which one he thought had better acting skills.
Lin Nan didn't have any scruples, and said Shu Advocate directly.
Among this group of actresses, few can compare with Shu Zhan.
In the afterglow, Zhou Yang was depressed for a moment.
……
"Never doubt your own face, don't have the thought of moving it, remember?"
After the press conference, Lin Nan gave Shu Zhan a ride, and said by the way.
Shu Zhan was still a little confused, "I won't do this, I promise." ”
"Then remember what you said today."
Lin Nan's tone was a little serious.
Because at today's press conference, he suddenly found that Zhou Yang looked a little weird.
But for a while, I didn't know what was weird.
It wasn't until halftime that he asked backstage that Zhou Yang stumbled and said.
The other day, she had just started to "trim" that face.
Lin Nan persuaded her to stop this behavior on the spot, but was directly refused.
Zhou Yang's eyes at that time looked very resolute, a little aggrieved and unwilling......
After four years of classmates, Lin Nan understood Zhou Yang's personality and was very arrogant, but he rarely listened to persuasion when deciding.
This is also the reason why he turned his head and warned Shu Zhan.
If an actor moves his face, it is almost a farewell to the big screen.
The machine used in the filming can even enlarge the pores and clearly see them in close view.
The stiffness of the facial expression, in which there is nowhere to hide.
Therefore, film directors with a little sense of responsibility will not use this kind of actor.
The big director won't even look at it.
……
Han Sanping began to have a toothache again.
All kinds of problems in "Red Cliff" dragged on the start.
So much so that the "Zhou Yu Metropolitan Governor's Mansion", which was built in Beijing Film Studio, did not have time to shoot this part of the scene during the reporting time.
And Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang" is already urging to enter the scene.
The palatial "Metropolitan Governor's Palace" had to be urgently dismantled and rebuilt elsewhere.
One demolition and one construction, another 10 million.
The news was in the media for less than half an hour before it all disappeared.
But it still can't stop the discussion on the Internet.
When Ning Hao and Lin Nan talked on the phone, they scolded and talked about it.
The cost of a single shooting scene is enough for him to make a commercial film.
"Harry Potter 5" followed in the footsteps of "Transformers" and was released.
The latter broke the box office record of domestic films and was successfully released on the day when it reached 300 million.
Not surprisingly, this will also be the box office champion in the domestic film market this year.
Li Yang took "Blind Mountain" to the capital.
The release of the film was also a problem, as the genre was destined to not be too good at the box office.
During the distribution process, the schedule of the theater chain will definitely be very low.
"Brother Li, don't worry."
Lin Nan comforted.
Don't look at Li Yang has been in the industry for so many years, but "Blind Mountain" is the second movie he directed.
This is the first time that I have really started to promote the film.
"You are an investor and a big director, and you must have more weight than me on the distribution company's side, you can take the idea."
Li Yang said softly that this movie was also made by him with his heart.
Who to find to issue it, you really have to think about it.
On the same day, Lin Nan asked people to release the news.
For the first time in the industry, it was known that Lin Nan also invested in this movie called "Blind Mountain".
It can be regarded as a sister chapter of "Blind Well".
And the director of this film is Li Yang, who has won the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution, and is also the director of Lin Nan's film debut.
"Issued? Make an appointment with Director Lin for me. ”
……
Lin Nan took Li Yang to a China Film Festival.
The result is not very good, in the next few months, there are too many movies to be released by China Film, and there are not many resources at all.
Shangying also put his energy elsewhere.
Wanda is easy to talk to, although she can't help with the distribution, but she is willing to give some support in the film scheduling.
After the middle film and the upper film, Lin Nan was ready to find Wang Changtian.
But the company told Lin Nan that Bona's people wanted to date him.
"Yu Dong?"
"Brother Li Yang, come with me to meet Mr. Yu of Bona." Lin Nan said to Li Yang.
"Gone to the light?"
"Let's go and meet Mr. Yu first."
In Lin Nan's opinion, Yu Dong looking for him at this time must be the matter of "Blind Mountain".
For a long time, in terms of publicity and distribution, Lin Nan has fixed partners, just those three.
Last time in China Film, Yu Dong wanted the distribution rights of "Painted Skin", but Lin Nan hasn't replied yet.
At this time, he contacted again, and Lin Nan was very curious about what he would say and what chips he had.
In the hotel box, Lin Nan and Li Yanggang entered the door.
I saw Yu Dong getting up with a smile to greet him, "Director Lin, Director Li, please sit down ......."
……
……
Wang Changtian has been scolding all morning, and Guangguang is also the investor of "Painted Skin".
But the distribution rights of this commercial blockbuster were actually snatched away by Yu Fatzi, who was Bona.
"Didn't Director Lin say the specific reason?" The secretary couldn't help but ask.
"The reason? There's Poly behind that dog thing, there's a theater, that's why......"
Wang Changtian scolded.
Rays do have a film distribution business, but no cinemas.
After a while, Wang Changtian said in a low voice: "Yu Dong promised to increase the film schedule a few days after the release of "Blind Mountain".
That's why he got the distribution rights to "Painted Skin". ”
Wang Changtian is indeed a bit out of shape this time, but "Painted Skin" deserves his so.
The subject matter, production cost, and Lin Nan directed by Lin Nan are destined for the box office prospects of this movie.
""Blind Mountain" has nothing to do with us, Director Lin exchanged the distribution rights of "Painted Skin" for the scheduling of "Blind Mountain", which is a bit immoral ......"
"Shut up. He's the main prosecution, he has this power, and I don't want to hear anything like that in the future, otherwise you go to the business department. ”
Wang Changtian said coldly.
The secretary has also followed Wang Changtian for many years, and when he heard this, he instantly knew that he had trespassed.
"Mr. Wang, what about the release of "The Martian" after that?"
"Hehe, do you think we have a chance to touch the distribution rights of this movie?
There is a high probability that Shangying will not be able to intervene, and Han Dong will not let others touch it. ”
Wang Changtian said affirmatively.
