Chapter 209: Two Press Conferences
Lin Nan began to go in and out of Nortel for the post-editing of "Hunting".
Many teachers from the academy, out of curiosity, come over from time to time to take a look.
Among all the graduates of the directing department, Lin Nan's works are undoubtedly the most concerned.
Outside, although "Ip Man" has only been released for a few days, the word-of-mouth and box office are really good.
Yang Shoucheng was still thinking about promoting the feelings of the family and the country before.
Lin Nan suggested that he lower his posture and just say that it was a popcorn-style kung fu movie.
The audience of commercial films does not need you to instill their minds, they have their own discernment.
Don't be like the brick family called the beast, always teach others how to behave.
……
The entertainment industry is realistic.
Donnie Yen came to thank Lin Nan.
He could already clearly feel what benefits the film had brought him.
The quotations for commercial performances and endorsements are rising.
The agent team even told him that the film had a great chance of helping him move up the ranks.
And Ying Huang revealed a long time ago that "Ip Man" can be made into a series.
So the top priority is to have a good relationship with Lin Nan.
Being promoted to the first line does not mean that it will always be the first line.
And even first-line actors and stars have status differences.
"Ip Man" appeared in Nortel, but it attracted a lot of attention.
Lin Nan felt that he must have made a lot of drafts before he came.
Donnie Yen's face was full of smiles, and he thanked Lin Nan for giving him the opportunity to star in "Ip Man".
But this is obviously Ying Huangding's role.
"Director Lin, if there is a movie in the future, just say it, I'll be on call......"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Lin Nan could hear it. In addition to these words, isn't it the sequel to "Ip Man"?
"Well, it depends on fate."
Lin Nan was perfunctory.
Donnie Yen crossed Yinghuang and came directly to him, this behavior looks very smart, but it is actually a little stupid, what does this make Yang Shoucheng think?
After the others left, Lin Nan continued the editing of "Hunting".
——
China Film announced the most important film project for next year.
That is, the gift film, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China".
"This film will be directed by Chairman Han Sanping himself, and has been in preparation for a long time, involving nearly 200 celebrity characters."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" has extraordinary special significance.
Zero pay!
I don't know who started it, all the actors and stars spontaneously expressed this will, just waiting for the casting notice of China Film.
Lin Nan was in the editing room and received a call from Han Sanping.
"I wanted to call you to direct a few small clips, but in the end I forgot it.
The Zhang Yi in your company can be added to play a role. ”
Lin Nan also asked, why did he "forget it"?
The answer was a little amusing to him, and some old people said that he was too young to handle such a scene......
"Old man?"
Lin Nan doesn't have to think about it to know that it is the people of the association and the film festival, and they are really antiques.
Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Chen Kexin and others have accepted the invitation and will join the director team, led by Han Sanping.
Originally, Zhang Yimou was also invited.
As a result, Zhang Weiping didn't discuss with the former, so he directly rejected Zhongying.
Lin Nan estimated that Zhang Weiping most likely refused because of zero pay.
Among the producers in the circle, there is no one who is more critical and desperate for money than him.
"If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" may have felt the pressure of "Under the Red Cliff" later, and actually held the premiere several days in advance.
Lin Nan and "The Martian" are inevitable topics.
"This return to the Chinese New Year file is still the comedy I am good at.
In terms of the box office, I dare not say that it surpasses Director Lin's "The Martian", but I am still somewhat sure of it. ”
Feng Xiaogang's sworn speech was quickly reported, and the publicity effect was improved a lot.
…………
"What does he want to do?"
Yang Shoucheng asked with a frosty face.
"Ip Man" is completely popular. The plot is not muddy, the fights are clean and neat, and it has both national righteousness and family and country feelings.
These are all spontaneous comments from netizens on the Internet.
Yang Shoucheng was very glad to listen to Lin Nan, and did not take the initiative to say this when he was promoting.
Now it seems that the effect is even better.
It's just that Donnie Yen's behavior of going to Lin Nan made him very angry. There is a feeling of being betrayed.
"The people in his team just said that they went to thank ......"
"Thanks? Why didn't I see him thank me?
Knock it out and let them know that there are some things that can't break the rules. ”
Yang Shoucheng commanded.
Huo Wenxi nodded, remembering something again.
"Director Jiang Wen said that the script will be polished for a while, and this time he wants to use big-name stars."
"So the cost will be high?"
Yang Shoucheng asked, thought for a while, "Go and tell him that it's okay within 150 million."
No matter how high it is, unless he can help me earn back 380 million. ”
Huo Wenxi smiled when he heard this.
Thinking about it, Yang Dong is still thinking about "The Martian". But the profit of that movie is really scary.
……
The Berlinale has announced the shortlist of the first batch of finalists for the main competition.
"Mei Lanfang" is in the first place.
The eyes in the circle instantly focused on Chen Kaige.
Thinking about his interview some time ago, it seems that the Golden Bear Award is indeed just around the corner.
"What do you think I think of playing Meng Xiaodong?"
Liu Yifei broke Lin Nan's head and asked him to answer this question head-on.
"Yes, it's okay......"
Lin Nan tried to act as sincere as possible.
"You're lying."
"You can see that?"
"You lied to me." Liu Yifei glared at Lin Nan, and she lied.
Lin Nan was speechless, do women have this kind of talent?
"How many awards do you see Zhang Ziyi won? She played Meng Xiaodong and has been training for half a year. ”
"I can do it too." Liu Yifei said without thinking.
"After a few more years, I will prepare a literary film or a feature film for you."
Lin Nan made a bold promise.
"Really?" I saw the girl ask excitedly.
"yes, really."
"Muma, reward you."
"Hehe, why don't you dance?"
"What dance?" Liu Yifei was a little confused.
"Let's have a "Tianzhu Girl"!"
"Huh? That's what I learned when I was a kid......"
——
"If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb" was released with great anticipation.
On the first day, it grabbed 15 million box office from the hands of the popular "Ip Man" and Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang".
And the daily box office is still rising.
20 million on the second day, 25 million on the 3rd day, 22 million on the 4th day......
In the first four days of the weekend, the box office exceeded 80 million.
The film and television industry seems to have seen the picture of Feng's comedy sweeping the New Year files in those years.
At the same time, "Mei Lanfang" was completely released and became the highest-grossing domestic literary film, with 114 million.
The box office growth of "Ip Man" has almost been cut in half, and it is difficult to move towards a box office of 100 million, which is just a little bit.
"If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb" is expected to surpass "On the Red Cliff" at the box office."
"Mars still holds the record for the first day and the first weekend ......"
Lin Nan saw the evaluation of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".
In terms of inserting advertisements, it has to be Feng Xiaogang.
The summary of netizens is in place: advertising + cross talk + sketch = "Do Not Disturb".
Not to mention, many people in the industry agree with this point of view on the Internet.
Feng Xiaogang also really grasped the psychology of the audience and knew what they wanted to watch.
The editing of "The Hunt" is progressing very quickly. Lin Nan felt that it would be no problem to get the later stage in half a month.
"Tian Tian?"
Outside the editing room, Lin Nan saw Jing Tian.
"Brother Lin."
The girl walked over with a smile on her face.
"The acting department is taking exams today, so I stopped by to see Brother Lin."
"Come in."
The door of the editing room, Lin Nan thought about it, and finally left it open, which is better.
"The Biography of Sun Tzu" will hold a launch conference at the end of the month, and Jing Tian is here to invite Lin Nan.
Before the starring actors of "The Martian", Lu Zheng helped her send invitations, only Lin Nan, she wanted to say it herself.
"They all agreed?"
"Well, Brother Xiao Ming, they said they would all come." Jing Tian hurriedly replied.
Lin Nan nodded.
Think about it, no matter what Lu Zheng says, he is also a starry boss, Huang Xiaoming and they will definitely give face.
A film and television company that can invest tens of millions of dollars in TV dramas, isn't this a network?
Lin Nan had a little headache, there was still a "Fairy Sword III" over there waiting for him to set a time.
"Okay, I'll go then. How did you do today? ”
Hearing Lin Nan's affirmative reply, Jing Tian nodded with a smile.
"The test was okay, and the teachers gave me excellent grades."
Lin Nan didn't ask in detail, if he can give Jing Tian an excellent grade, the test should not be acting.
After chatting for a while, Lin Nan began to continue working.
The girl hesitated a little, but finally said, "Brother Lin, then I'll go first, goodbye." ”
"Hmm."
Jing Tian turned around three times in one step, walked out, and gently closed the door.
After a long time, Lin Nan glanced back and sighed.
He took out his phone and dialed a number.
Cai Yinong is in a meeting and has just decided on Liu Shishi, as the actress that the company will mainly support in the future.
The phone vibrated suddenly, and he was about to turn it off subconsciously, but after glancing at the caller ID, Cai Yinong made a gesture of waiting and walked out of the conference room with the phone.
"Director Lin, is the time set?"
"Yes, Mr. Cai. You can set the finale press conference on the 25th, I have time that day. ”
"Okay, no problem."
After Lin Nan finished talking about business, he hung up.
Cai Yinong stepped on his high heels and returned to the office.
"The finale press conference of "Sword and Fairy III" is scheduled for the 25th, remember not to give Hu Ge and Shi Shi activities in those two days.
Also, you can announce it to the outside world. The media, artists and industry insiders who should be invited will send an invitation letter again.
Director Lin Nan will also arrive. ”
The people present instantly cheered up, and they had been waiting for this time, and now it was finally decided.
They don't dare to guarantee that the popularity of "Sword and Fairy III" will definitely catch up with "Sword and Fairy I", but the former will definitely be a hit.
…………
In less than half an hour, Yang Mi, Tang Yan and others received the news.
"Director Lin will come too?!"
During this time, Yang Mi has been thinking about the last call.
Although Hu Ge said that Lin Nan didn't care anymore, she felt that she still had to take advantage of this finale press conference to have a good relationship with Lin Nan, even if it was for her future career......
