Chapter 201: Special Effects Company
On the 29th, the wind and the sun are beautiful.
Outside the Great Hall, nearly 100 media gathered, and cameras with long guns and short guns were densely packed.
Since nine o'clock in the morning, the guests on the red carpet have not been interrupted.
There is an endless stream of first-line and second-tier stars, and major film and television companies gather.
"That's Liu Dehao?"
"Yes."
When Hu Ge and the others arrived, they saw a group of people from Hong Kong Island entering.
Yang Shoucheng, Cheng Long, Liu Dehao, Leung Ka-fai......
One by one, the cars stopped and drove away.
Wang Zhongjun took Hua Yi and his people to the red carpet immediately.
Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Hanyu, Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, Deng Chao......
Xie Nan and Liu Yan, who participated in "Painted Skin".
Jiang Wen, Jia Zhangke, Gu Changwei, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Ning Hao......
There are also a lot of directors in the circle today, because there are very few people in China who shoot this kind of hardcore sci-fi, and everyone is very interested in it.
There are constantly people walking on the red carpet and entering the City Hall, and there are more people inside, and there are many foreigners.
…………
Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan were dressed up in youth and beauty, and they attracted a lot of attention when they walked into the Great Hall.
"Lin Nan, they haven't come yet?"
"The crew will definitely be the last."
Liu Yifei explained. In fact, Lin Nan set off earlier than them, so he should be somewhere else at this time.
With the entry of several producers such as Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, and Wang Changtian, the scene was even more crowded, and the greetings continued.
Outside, Lin Nan and the crew of seven people walked on the red carpet.
Chen Baoguo said that he only made a cameo appearance, so he didn't follow along, but entered the Great Hall in advance.
Jing Tian's heart is beating fast, the first time she walked the red carpet with Lin Nan, this movie will also be her most eye-catching resume.
The cameras of the media flickered wildly, and there were a large number of fans gathered on the periphery.
Entering the venue, everyone looked at the crew.
"Director Lin, I wish the box office a big hit, haha."
"Director Lin has seen you."
…………
The premiere officially began.
Today's seating is also rigorous.
The first and second rows are the Space Agency, the Film Bureau, several major film groups, a number of film and television companies, and big directors.
The third and fourth rows are first-line and above star artists, Cheng Long, Liu Dehao and others.
Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan were arranged in the third row, next to Zhou Xun.
Hu Ge, Yang Mi, Tang Yan and others are very far behind.
A lot of people pay attention to this seat, and it's obvious what that means.
"Why haven't you seen that person, sitting in the second row?" Yang Mi asked in a low voice.
"It's lonely, that's director Wen Tsairen." Hugo joked.
"The one at Lionsgate?" Tang Yan reacted instantly.
"It's him."
Yang Mi nodded and looked ahead again.
In the third row, the youngest are Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan, as well as the young Jing Tian on the stage.
Yang Mi felt that she was no worse than them, and then looked at Tang Yan on the side, even her movie resources were more than herself, Rong Xinda really couldn't stay.
"Everyone will know in a while, I was really called by Director Lin Nan to plant potatoes, and he asked for the most realistic scene......"
Hu Jun took the microphone and talked about his "sad journey", and he packed the bags of potatoes and took them back to eat, without wasting any of them.
The interviews of Zeng Li, Liu Ye, Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Yi are also much smoother.
By the time Jing Tian arrived, the little girl might indeed be a little excited.
"I am very grateful, thank you Brother Lin Nan for giving me this opportunity, I was clumsy in the crew, everyone took good care of me, Brother Lin Nan taught me a lot of things......"
The most important part is the film screening.
The landform of Red Cliff is too suitable for shooting Martian themes.
Everyone at the scene began to stare intently at the big screen.
As the plot unfolds, the members of the Martian team encounter a storm, and Hu Jun, who is a botanist, is inadvertently left behind.
A self-saving Martian farming operation has begun.
"Can you still play like this?"
"The visuals are fantastic......"
There was a lot of talk below, and people from the Space Agency and the Film Bureau were nodding their heads and exchanging something.
"Can we do this? Forget it......"
Although many film and television companies find "The Martian" very shocking, they have no desire to do it themselves, the cycle is too long, the cost is too high, and it is unknown whether it can succeed or not, and it is not cost-effective.
Many directors shook their heads with a smile, they couldn't do this themselves, Lin Nan was really awesome this time.
At the end of the two-hour movie, the front row was the first to applaud.
The man from the Film Bureau picked up the microphone.
"Everyone here is in the film and television industry, and we also hope that everyone can produce more high-quality movies and commercial blockbusters.
Big-budget sci-fi movies like "The Martian" are very good for the film and television industry.
If any company is willing to continue to develop this field, the film bureau must encourage and support the attitude......"
Many people are still immersed in the movie just now, the vast expanse of space, and the gorgeous and amazing special effects......
A lot of filmmakers are very envious of the "Martian" in front of them, but let everyone do it, that's another matter.
This kind of project is not something you can do if you say you support everyone. You have to have that courage, and if you don't operate properly, you will definitely lose to your grandmother's house.
And in the area of special effects, you can only send money abroad.
"Lin Nan's movie is really amazing, it deserves to have been done for two years."
Shu Zhan whispered to Liu Yifei.
"That's natural, hee-hee."
……
The creator was interviewed again, and this time there was more to say.
"Director Lin, what are your expectations for the box office of this movie?"
This question made everyone at the scene prick up their ears.
"To be honest, this project was also a duck on the shelves. But since it is done with gritted teeth, at the box office, we expect it to be worthy of two years of effort and have a new record. ”
Lin Nan said with a smile, and applauded again.
"A new record? Didn't Director Lin think about returning to the original problem? After all, the current record is only about 20 million more than the cost of "The Martian". ”
"Previously, we planned to announce the price of the rights to "The Martian" at the premiere, and now I will tell you about it."
As soon as the words fell, all the people in the film and television company came to the spirit, which was also what they were most concerned about during this time.
"At the beginning of the month, we took the film to Venice, and the rights were sold in Europe and North America, and the total price was 55 million dollars.
We've recouped our costs. ”
Lin Nan had a smile on his face, and he was categorical.
Looking at the shocked expressions of those people in the audience, Han Sanping was very satisfied.
"May I ask Director Lin, how much did the movie's patch ads sell?"
"The total cost of the two accompanying advertisements is just 90 million ......"
Many people began to gasp, which is equivalent to saying that "The Martian" has not yet been released, and it has already earned more than 100 million!
Banquet time.
Lin Nan was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and all he asked about special effects.
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan very busy, so she didn't bother.
"I'm going to build a company and slowly develop my own people."
"Special effects company?"
"Yes."
Everyone looked at Lin Nan's eyes a little wrong, like looking at a fool.
"Director Lin, this kind of thing is not making a movie. Our foundation is too poor, we have to burn money for a long time to support people, and the results are completely unpredictable......"
Lin Nan can see that these film companies have no intention of doing their own special effects, and they think it's good now.
It's a bit of a word and no more speculation.
Liu Dehao came over with a wine glass.
"Director Lin, the movie is amazing, you should really tell me about it at that time, it's a pity."
Liu Dehao looked regretful.
"Brother You're polite, isn't the future still long."
"It's long, then I'll wait for Director Lin's appointment."
As he spoke, Liu De raised his glass, and the two touched it.
Lin Nan has a feeling that he is about to be relieved, "The Martian" has pressed him for two whole years, and after this movie is released, he will definitely not touch science fiction again in the short term, the pressure is too great.
From afar, Lin Nan saw that Wen Ziren was surrounded by a bunch of domestic actors, including Yang Mi, and these people were too enterprising.
Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan seemed to be chatting with the two of them.
The news on the web is already being updated.
"The Martian copyright is a big hit, and there is no pressure to return to the cost."
"Not released, the profit has exceeded 100 million ......"
This premiere was very successful, and the news that flowed out could better mobilize the audience's desire to watch the movie.
When the scene was about to end, Lin Nan and Wen Ziren bumped heads.
"Happy Death Day 2" is still divided according to the proportion of the previous part, and the latter can go to Tom to sign an agreement.
At the end of the day, it's still very tiring.
Lin Nan leaned on a chair in the garden and stroked the cat.
Liu Yifei handed over a glass of orange juice, "Let's supplement some vitamin ......"
"Thank you."
"How? Isn't it sweet, Brother Lin Nan? ”
Murderous!
Send a proposition!
…………
The next day, a lot of news about The Martian dominated the headlines.
Netizens are discussing how long it will take for this movie to brush off the record of the bad movie "Red Cliff".
What the circle is most concerned about is Lin Nan's establishment of a special effects company.
There are those who support it, and there are those who watch the excitement, but the vast majority still think that Lin Nan is a little self-righteous and ambitious.
If a good director and the boss of a film and television company don't do it, what special effects do you toss?
"Do you really have this idea?"
"Well, it's been a long time ago. I think it's time for China to take this matter seriously, and we can't always find foreign countries to do the special effects of blockbusters.
The more large-scale commercial films, such as "Painted Skin" and "The Martian", the more special effects.
In the future, the domestic market will definitely get better and better, and won't they all work for others when the time comes? ”
Han Sanping nodded, Lin Nan's words were indeed very reasonable.
"Then go for it, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me. They all say that I am a domineering person, but this kind of thing that is really good for the industry, China Film will definitely support it. ”
"Well, then thank you Han Dong."
Not to mention anything else, in the development of the film industry, Han Sanping has indeed not been ambiguous.
Major theaters began to prepare for the release of the movie, and "The Martian" on the 1st is the top priority.
Wanda, as one of the producers, has increased the scheduling rate of "Mars" to 50%, of course, this is done privately.
As state-owned enterprises, China Film and Shanghai Film can't do this, but they still carry out "micro-operations".
