Chapter 254: The Hawthorn Tree, the second batch of equipment

Two days ago, Hu Ge's "Myth" landed on CCTV.

It only took 6 episodes to rush to the first place in the country in the ratings of TV dramas in the same period.

is another hit drama. The position of the first-line students is very stable.

The domestic film market is still dominated by "Avatar", and no domestic film survives.

In the entire industrial chain, only the theater chain is smiling and making a lot of money.

"Three Guns" has been screened for a while, and this movie hit Zhang Yimou just like the impact of "Wuji" on Chen Kaige.

The latter chose to return to biographical films and made "Mei Lanfang".

Similarly, Zhang Yimou's team announced in a high-profile manner that they would restart the previously completed script, "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

Compared with Chen Kaige, netizens seem to be more friendly to Zhang Yimou, and there are many posts of support.

Top directors, returning to the field of literary films that they are best at, is a huge temptation for actors in the industry.

The news spread, and the circle was boiling.

Zhang Yimou's literary film must be no problem to be shortlisted for the film festival.

Liu Yifei also has some ideas.

"Can you help me ask?"

"I don't know Director Zhang very well." Lin Nan said with a smile.

"That's better than me, so I'll ask."

Lin Nan was eighty percent sure that Liu Yifei would be rejected by Zhang Yimou, but he still agreed.

"Okay, I'll help you ask if it's appropriate. But don't blame me if I'm hit. ”

"Well, I don't blame you, I'll wait for good news, Muma."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan went to pay attention to the matter of "Hawthorn Tree".

Zhang Yimou is a person who is full of energy.

The front foot has just said that the project will be restarted, and at this time it has already begun to prepare for casting.

……

At a time when everyone is paying attention to The Hawthorn Tree.

Huayi announced the breakup news with Zhouxun.

After the first three golden shadows in the mainland, the contract expired and Huayi was not renewed.

The key is that this is still a first-line movie star who holds Huayi's original shares.

When Wang Zhonglei was interviewed, he spoke softly, saying that there was no contradiction or anything like that, and it was just a personal choice.

"If I hadn't listened to you and bought those million shares, I wouldn't have been able to arrange me now."

Zhou Xun now has no contract and is light, and specially invites Lin Nan and Huang Xiaoming to dinner.

At the beginning, it was Lin Nan and Huang Xiaoming who made her firmly buy stocks and make a lot of money.

"It's okay, Mr. Wang is also a face-saving person, so he shouldn't be ...... like that"

Huang Xiaoming, who has just returned from the crew of "The Four Talents", habitually plays round.

Zhou Xun glanced at Huang Xiaoming and remembered something.

"Your contract is about to expire in the middle of the year, right? I remember it was about 3 years? ”

Huang Xiaoming nodded.

"Renewing your contract?" Zhou Xun asked.

"To be honest, I want to open a studio......"

Huang Xiaoming didn't hide it, and continued: "In this way, it is convenient for me to make investments and be a producer, I can support myself and sign actors, haha......"

Zhou Xun smiled, looked at Lin Nan, and quipped: "Director Lin, if you have a job in the future, call me directly, and there will be no more middlemen." ”

"Discounted?" Lin Nan said with a smile.

"Hit, just give me the heroine."

"Haha, I'm the same, I can break a ......"

After eating a meal, there are a lot of rumors on the Internet.

"Zhou Xun invited director Lin Nan to the banquet, and it is suspected that he signed into Lin Nan Pictures!"

"Director Lin Nan, Huang Xiaoming, and Zhou Xun had a dinner party, and the project of "Painted Skin 2" was ......"

Good guy, Lin Nan admired this group of reporters who took pictures secretly, and arranged a job for him!

The next day, Zhou Xun posted on Weibo, announcing the establishment of his own studio.

Not only did the rumors go unbreaking, but also made the company that originally wanted to call the idea of weekly news instantly dispelled its thoughts.

……

Lin Nan met Zhang Yimou.

"If it were any other movie, I would really be able to give you this face and let Yifei try it out.

But this movie, I won't hide it from you. I want a pure newcomer, the kind of amateur who has never acted, never been in love, and has no emotional experience. ”

Zhang Yimou said with a smile, meaning something.

Lin Nan understood what the other party meant, and this reason was really helpless.

"Haha, there are gains and losses. Director Zhang is preparing for auditions in all art academies? ”

"Well, it's done in two months......"

Zhang Yimou has sent out several assistant directors to select people from well-known art academies in China.

Lin Nan didn't bother much, and after chatting for a while, he took his leave.

He can see that it is only with this kind of literary film that Zhang Yimou may not be interfered with by Zhang Weiping.

Because in the way of profit, copyright is the majority, and quality is the key......

Liu Yifei was a little frustrated after hearing Lin Nan's relayed casting conditions.

She doesn't even meet the most basic requirements!

"If it's not suitable, it's not suitable, wait until I get a crew out by myself one day."

"There are ideals, and I support you. By the way, how was the filming of "Embroidered Spring Knife"? ”

"It's going to be finished soon, and in two days, I'll be able to go back to you."

Liu Yifei's voice instantly became lighter.

…………

Lin Nan stayed in Tiangong Color, staring at the post-editing.

A small number of special effects are also in production.

Yang Shoucheng's call came in suddenly.

"Director Lin, the finished film of "Ip Man 2" has been made, and it is necessary to arrange a schedule."

"Didn't Yinghuang say to the outside that it was going to be in the first half of the year?"

"For the specific time, Director Lin will choose one, hehe."

In Lin Nan's plan, the company's four films can be released from the summer vacation in June at the earliest, throughout the second half of the year.

Then this "Ip Man 2" is best placed on May Day.

"It will be released at the end of April, and it will be on May Day." Lin Nan said.

"Then listen to Director Lin."

……

Outside world, the box office of "Avatar" has exceeded 700 million, and it will reach 800 million.

Cameron personally brought the main creator to the capital.

In addition to doing another wave of publicity, I hope that China Film can introduce more movies.

Lin Nan could feel the mood of those mainland filmmakers on the scene across the screen, and he was definitely scolding his mother in his heart.

However, this great director, who has been a truck driver, does show a high level when talking about the application of 3D, CG, motion capture and other technologies in movies.

Many domestic directors and producers present were like listening to a book from heaven, confused from beginning to end, very embarrassed.

"Director Lin, is it really so bad?"

On the side of Tiangong color, Guo Wan asked in a daze.

"That's not it!

The technology he said, the equipment used, there are almost not many in China, and when the second batch of equipment arrives in a few days, you can take a look. ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, he saw many people looking over.

"Well, there's another group of people who will be back, and there will be more and more people."

Those employees who came back from Crystal Pictures understood in an instant.

……

When several trucks transporting machinery and equipment drove all the way to Lin Nan Pictures.

The media immediately thought of the first batch of imported equipment of Tiangong Color at this time last year.

This is the attitude of being determined to be a special effects company! Sure enough, he did what he said.

"Tiangong color, the second batch of imported special effects has been delivered to ......"

"It is estimated that the value of this equipment will exceed that of the first batch."

"With machines and employees, Tiangong color, it is already the largest and most top special effects company in China."

……

Large customers have preferential treatment for large customers.

Along with the equipment, there are more than two dozen engineers, who are responsible for the installation and commissioning of the machine, as well as the necessary guidance.

Lin Nan didn't expect that the commotion would be so big this time.

Han Sanping, Tong Ju and others all came to see the excitement.

Counting the first batch of equipment, this time the first floor is finally occupied.

"How much did you spend on this?"

"You just know, what's the use? It is impossible for China Film to approve this kind of project. ”

Lin Nan's words, Han Sanping really couldn't refute them.

As a state-owned enterprise, China Film has to involve and support all types of films, and it is indeed impossible to spend money specifically on special effects companies.

After Han Sanping, Tong Gang and other bigwigs left, many film production companies came to visit one after another.

Lin Nan did not refuse to come, and let people introduce them one by one.

Not to mention, in the past two days, I have received a lot of commissioned work.

The influence of "Avatar" has increased the attention of the outside world to Lin Nan's special effects company a lot.

Blockbusters, the most inseparable thing is special effects.

"He's really going to do something practical!"

"Big brother, we now have enough funds, do we want to be our own special effects company?" Wang Zhonglei asked.

At the premiere of "The Martian", Lin Nan said that he wanted to open a special effects company, and the industry was watching the excitement.

This time, it seems that it has really happened, and at least the equipment and talents are available.

Think about movies like "Avatar", you really need your own special effects company......

"Silly? Why do we do this kind of project that requires long-term money and doesn't know when it will be profitable?

It's better to invest in anything else than to be a special effects company......"

……

Lin Nan is like a signboard, advertising for the heavenly color all the time.

Many production companies have taken the initiative to come to me with work, which is a very good feeling......

Xue Xiaolu filmed "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" for more than two months, and finally finished filming.

"Sister Xue, are you really not going to take my side to do the later stage?"

"No, I'll take it back to school to edit, and it will save you resources......"

Xue Xiaolu said so, and Lin Nan no longer insisted on it.

"Then if you have any help at that time, call me directly."

Nortel's equipment is too old-fashioned, and "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is a small-budget urban movie.

If it were replaced by "Embroidered Spring Knife" and "Thief", Lin Nan would never agree to take it to school for later stage.

……

The entertainment industry is more cruel and realistic than other places.

Lin Nan remembered that half a year ago, it was still rumored that Deng Wendi would shoot "Snowflake Secret Fan" with Zhang Ziyi.

After the international chapter was dumped, the matter was over.

Now that Huayi is listed, this project has been taken out by Deng Wendi again, and it is jointly produced by Shangying and Huayi.

It's just that the heroine has changed.

became Huayi's first sister, Li Bingbing.

Lin Nan doesn't know much about this film, but it is estimated that it will not be a good movie.
