Chapter 173: "Blind Mountain", red carpet speech
Liu Yifei didn't know which tendon was wrong.
I'm starting to learn how to cook.
Lin Nan told Liu Yifei that she was not suitable for this.
"God is fair, you are so good-looking, don't worry about not having a talent for cooking, you can use a microwave oven......"
Liu Yifei nested in the cradle of the garden, holding the cat, nodding with a smile on her face, without the slightest hint of modesty.
"Well, I did it on a whim, too. Isn't it your birthday......"
"So, I'll eat it all."
Lin Nan said softly, with tenderness in his eyes.
…………
"The Sun Also Rises", less than two weeks after its release, was completely silent.
The box office stopped at 16 million.
The only one that can be distributed to Yinghuang is six million, which is still before tax.
This means that Yang Shoucheng's investment this time is a blood loss.
Jiang Wen was even branded as box office poison by some media.
The subject matter of "Blind Mountain" is special.
When it comes to publicity, it can't be done like a commercial film.
At the beginning, Yu Dong promised Lin Nan that he would increase the distribution of "Blind Mountain", and now it has indeed been done.
There are several posters of "Blind Mountain" in major theaters.
With the gray mountains as the background, a woman wearing a red jacket, black cotton pants, and a headscarf ran in a panic......
The woman's eyes were dead and lifeless, and she was holding a child wrapped in a small quilt in her arms......
In this movie, from the moment he decided to invest, Lin Nan was ready to lose money.
While he was on a talk show with Li Yang, he mobilized the contacts around him.
All insiders who have Lin Nan's contact information, their blogs and post bars are reposting the news of this movie.
"Based on real events, director Li Yang is another movie that goes straight to the hearts of the people."
……
There is official media, and propaganda support has also been given.
The discussion of this film has reached a high level.
"Just wait for the release in November, Brother Li Yang doesn't have to worry about anything."
Li Yang thought of Lin Nan's return to the basics, but the latter didn't care.
This "Blind Mountain", Lin Nan only has a heartache after reading it, and the subject matter is more extensive, more real, and more resonant with the general public than "Hidden in the Dust".
So the box office must not be extravagant.
But some movies have their meaning when they are made, and this kind of director is also respectable.
Investing in this kind of movie, Lin Nan is willing to lose this capital.
Among the movies to be released in November, "Blind Mountain" has finally gained some attention.
At the premiere and press conference, Lin Nan and Li Yang discussed for a long time, and finally decided not to do it.
Where it can be promoted, it has been promoted, and there are official media reports, and there is no need for the premiere.
The National Day began, and there were no blockbusters in October this year, but those domestic films that retreated in the first half of the year were all squeezed into these three months.
The number of films released in October is twice as high as in September and nearly four times as many as in August.
On average, two or three movies are released every day.
Lin Nan took time to pay attention to the Busan Film Festival, and there were many people in China.
Xijie told Lin Nan with certainty that "New World" would be shortlisted for the Busan Film Festival, but there was no nominee list yet.
Soon after, it was fulfilled.
"New World" has a nomination for an individual honor award, followed by Lin Nan's name.
"It's a good feeling!" Lin Nan muttered.
Orange Sky took a large group of people to the Busan Film Festival and signed a cooperation agreement with a South Korean company.
Sign each other some actors and artists to an economic contract in the entertainment industry in another country.
Jiang Yiyan, who was just signed by Wu Kebo this year, is also in it.
Listening to Zhu Yawen, Jiang Yiyan is not very peaceful......
On the 12th, the Busan International Film Festival Awards Ceremony.
Since many domestic actors and crews went there, the movie channel gave a live broadcast report.
"New World" won the Audience Award and the Honorable Mention.
When the presenter shouted out the two words Chinese, Lin Nan.
The scene was cut to the domestic crowd.
The crew of "Assembly Number", Deng Chao, Sun Li, Wang Jinghua and others are all watching.
The last to take the stage were the crew of "New World".
"Director Lin Nan can't get out of the way because he is promoting the movie, and the crew will receive the award on his behalf......"
Busan time is up to an hour faster than in the country.
The live broadcast of the awards on the movie channel ended, and within half an hour, the domestic media had already seen the report.
"Director Lin Nan, won the Individual Honor Award at the Busan Film Festival!"
……
Xijie is really sincere.
As soon as Lin Nan got up in the morning, he received a call from the company, and Xijie sent someone to send the certificates.
"It's just a small award, it's almost like the Magic Capital Film Festival, sitting in rows and dividing fruits, all of which are to take care of foreigners' face and elevate their own status."
Lin Nan explained to Liu Yifei.
The Busan Film Festival is very strange in terms of awards, and there are no traditional awards such as best director and best actor.
It's a very general documentary award, short film award, etc.
The individual award is: the Honorable Mention.
……
Ning Hao took the crew back to the capital and held a press conference.
"Originally, I was thinking about taking my time and finishing before the closing ceremony, who knew that Huang Bo was selected by the Golden Rooster to perform at the opening ceremony.
I can only speed up the progress, and I can't be lazy. ”
When Ning Hao saw Lin Nan, he began to complain.
"Come back and rest, anyway, let's just show up at the closing ceremony. Prepare the words first, and then use them to promote the movie. ”
Lin Nan said with a smile.
Liu Yifei has already set off in advance, and the crew of "The King of Kung Fu" is an important guest on the red carpet of the opening ceremony.
"Why don't you say that Director Chen is a great director. The treatment is just different. Ning Hao was a little envious.
There are not many crews that can enter the Forbidden City to film, and even fewer can enter unopened areas.
Chen Kaige successfully took the crew of "Mei Lanfang" into unopened areas such as the Imperial Palace.
This kind of treatment, ordinary directors don't dare to think about it at all.
On the afternoon of the 26th, Lin Nan and Ning Hao flew to Suzhou together.
Huang Bo was wearing short sleeves, breeches, and sunglasses, and drove to pick up the two.
"Guo Tao and I, in the opening ceremony of the song "I Love My Dear Girl", sang pretty well, right?"
"To be honest, we didn't watch the opening ceremony."
Ning Hao said.
He is doing pre-production preparations, and Lin Nan and Li Yang are recording legal programs, because the theme of "Blind Mountain" is suitable for this.
"That's a pity, brother, the one I sing is called a hi, and many actresses call me by name.
Even Huang Xiaoming and Huang Shengyi's singing and dancing are not necessarily as strong as me......"
Huang Bo's face is getting thicker and thicker.
"Let's go, this year's star lineup is very strong."
Saying that, Huang Bo stepped on the accelerator, and the car flew out.
When they arrived at the hotel, Lin Nan and Ning Hao understood what Huang Bo said about a strong lineup.
The top actors on Hong Kong Island are here.
Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Liu Dehao, Liang Chaowei, Li Ming......
The number of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists has definitely more than doubled compared to the past.
There are also Gu Changwei, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Jia Zhangke, Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu, Zhang Ziyi......
In the hall, there are many artists entertaining.
Lin Nan and the three walked in, did not linger, and went directly into the elevator.
"It seems that a few big directors are here today?"
"Yes, indeed, Director Jiang Wen and Director Jia Zhangke, they have just arrived."
Many people know in their hearts that they don't care about those who are stuck in time for the closing ceremony.
Jiang Wen didn't sign up for the Golden Rooster, and Jia Zhangke didn't get shortlisted, so it was a Golden Lion Award movie.
Lin Nan and Ning Hao separated and went to find Liu Yifei alone.
Everyone else is socializing outside, and Liu Yifei stays in the room and watches TV.
"Why are you here?" The girl patted the sofa next to her and asked Lin Nan to sit over.
"and director Li Yang, I went on a law popularization program, which can be regarded as helping the movie to promote."
Lin Nan sat next to Liu Yifei, and the whole person instantly relaxed a lot, and there was a sense of tranquility.
The two leaned on each other, and Liu Yifei talked about the interesting stories of the past two days.
On the red carpet of the closing ceremony, she was arranged to walk with Cheng Long, Li Bingbing and Li Lianjie walked together, divided into two teams.
Not long after, Liu Xiaoli came back with her assistant.
"Auntie."
"Sissi, get ready, the makeup artist will be here soon."
Liu Xiaoli looked at Lin Nan and smiled, she didn't care, she was used to it.
"Oh, okay."
With that, Liu Yifei got up and walked into the house.
"Auntie, then I'll go first."
"Hmm."
……
Lin Nan saw from a distance that several people were laughing with Ning Hao.
One of the women, looking familiar.
After they left, Lin Nan walked over.
"Went to find Yifei?"
"Hmm. And who recommended you actors? ”
"yes, it's still a background. Just that girl, the one who is in the play, is called Han Qiao. ”
"Oh, I know, Hu Ge's classmates, I didn't see how the acting skills were, but there is never a shortage of official resources......" Lin Nan replied.
……
On the red carpet, Lin Nan was with Ning Hao and Huang Bo.
"Three movies."
"Got it, one person promotes one."
Interviews on the red carpet, which are covered by all media outlets, are the best opportunities for publicity.
In the evening, the endless convoy drove to the awards party.
Lin Nan and the three, in suits and leather shoes, were eating melon seeds in the waiting area.
"I found that with you two, my image was gone. You are a director, you don't care, and no one dares to say that I am an actor. ”
Huang Bo complained while eating.
"Image? You're an acting eater. Ning Hao said affirmatively.
"yes, haha. No, you're talking about my ugliness! ”
"Pack up, I guess it's almost us." Lin Nan reminded.
I saw Li Bingbing holding Li Lianjie and walking on the red carpet, and I could already hear the host introducing "The King of Kung Fu".
The number of stars in the waiting area has been decreasing.
Liang Chaowei, Liu Jialing.
Liu Dehao, Hong Jinbao.
Li Ming, Chen Hong, Chen Kaige.
Chen Kun, Ren Quan, Dong Jie.
……
"Let's go, it's our turn."
"Director Lin Nan and Director Ning Hao are all guests of this film festival, and there are also films completed this year, can you introduce them to you?"
The host was very good and took the initiative to hand over the words.
Lin Nan and Ning Hao smiled and gave the microphone to Huang Bo.
"I'll come first, although I'm the star of 'Racing,' I'm going to talk about 'Painted Skin'. Director Lin's magical love blockbuster will not disappoint the audience. ”
Ning Hao took the microphone, "What I want to say is "Blind Mountain", this is a work that goes straight to the hearts of the people, I hope all of us can sympathize with the weak, save the weak, and fight crime." ”
"Crazy Racing has six storylines, which is more exciting than Stone......"
Lin Nan finally spoke.
"It's a pity that I can't see these three works at the Golden Rooster Awards this time.
Then may I ask the two directors, will they bring the movie to the next Golden Rooster? ”
This question made Lin Nan and Ning Hao stunned, and the two glanced at each other.
"Probably not."
Ning Hao's words made the media at the scene smell the performance again.
"Why?" The moderator asked.
"Haha, the threshold for the Golden Rooster Award is too high."
"Where's Director Lin?"
"I think it's better for me to rush for the Golden Bear and Golden Lion awards first.
They may be simpler and a little easier to ...... comparatively"
Huang Bo looked at Lin Nan and the others blankly, this is too daring to say.
The surrounding media reporters can no longer be described as excited at this time, they are excited.
plus the mocking remarks of Jia Zhangke, Wang Quanan, Jiang Wen and others on the red carpet earlier.
Today's group of big guides, have they collectively discussed?
