Chapter 261: All Finished, Second Artist
The stars were shining brightly, and the "Warring States" project was revealed to the outside world.
Costume history war blockbuster!
As soon as this news came out, it attracted the attention of a large number of filmmakers.
Although the domestic film market is booming, this kind of project with an investment of 150 million yuan is really rare.
On weekdays, there are only a few big directors who can receive and play movies with this kind of investment scale.
The media are scrambling to report, and industry insiders are inquiring about the crew, director, casting, and production team......
"The stars are brilliant and generous, and they are actually exclusively produced!"
"Another strong production company......"
Lu Zheng's invitation to Lin Nan to be the director was also reported.
"The salary is 20 million, plus a box office share. This is what Lin Dao can value at this price. ”
"Director Lin Nan doesn't accept foreign dramas, and has already rejected the ...... of the "Warring States" project"
"The cast of the movie "Warring States" will be announced soon!"
……
There is a lot of news out there.
Lin Nan can see that this is all building momentum for "Warring States".
Lu Zheng is determined to make a big one this time and pave the way for Jing Tian.
"When he came out of you, he also looked for me. To be honest, I almost didn't hold it. ”
Ning Hao sighed in his tone.
"What's the price?" Lin Nan asked jokingly.
Listening to the other end of the phone, Ning Hao paused for a moment and said angrily, "Are you polite?" ”
"Haha, then I didn't ask."
Lin Nan estimated that the price that landed on the levy to Ning Hao would be about seven or eight million at most.
"If it weren't for the "Big Robbery" to prepare, I really wanted to try it, this kind of opportunity to direct a blockbuster is not easy to encounter."
Ning Hao still regretted it over there, Lin Nan really wanted to say that you should steal the fun, the money is not so easy to get!
After a few days of fermentation, "Warring States" has become the most concerned major project in the circle at the beginning of the new year.
Starlight took advantage of this momentum and announced a luxurious cast with great fanfare.
"Sun Honglei, Jing Tian, Wu Zhenyu, Kim Hee-sun, Jiang Wu, Nakai Guiyi, ......"
"The movie "Warring States" will be officially launched in early March!"
""Warring States" will be based on historical allusions and show grand epic scenes......"
As for this preparation time and start-up time, Lin Nan felt that it was a little rushed.
…………
"Director Lin, the art examination has begun......"
This year's art examination was delayed until the end of February, and Yue Jun was ready to leave.
"Well, go ahead."
According to the previous plan, the selection of newcomers this time is more special.
Actors and stars are different, the former is not easy to determine, and the latter is much easier.
And the essence of the brokerage company is not to train qualified actors, but to make money and earn commissions.
When it comes to making money, celebrities are obviously easier.
The news that Shanhai Media began to look for newcomers came out of the art examination site.
This made many candidates' minds instantly active.
China Film announced the latest film schedule.
"Ip Man 2" is confirmed to be released on April 29, aiming at May 1st.
However, the most topical is the literary romance film "Full Moon Sinister", starring Zhang Xueyou and Tang Wei.
Tang Wei, who was banned for two years because of "Lust and Caution", returned to the big screen again.
The mainland film and television industry is happy to watch the excitement.
Tang Wei settled on Hong Kong Island through the Talent Program, and the film was released in the mainland in the form of imported films......
Lin Nan suddenly remembered that when he filmed "Thief" three months ago, Tian Yu also sent a wedding invitation to himself, and finally he asked someone to bring the gift money.
"Creation makes people......"
……
There is also good news from Xue Xiaolu's side, "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" has completed post-production.
Lin Nan sent someone to Nortel and got the finished product back.
"That's it done again?"
Lu Yang was a little depressed, originally thinking that "Embroidered Spring Knife" would be the second to be completed.
Just in Tiangong Color, a group of people pulled "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love".
Zhu Yawen's "unknown orientation" male protagonist character is portrayed very well.
"This movie is not bad. Sure enough, art comes from life, Bao Jingjing's script is also wonderful, and Director Xue's shooting is delicate enough......"
Several people think that this movie can be regarded as a masterpiece, and it belongs to the kind that is rare in style.
February is coming to an end, and the movies that were released at the beginning of the month are also coming to the next screening.
"Su Qi'er", which was unanimously complained by Lin Nan and several people, really lost blood to the extreme.
The cost of 130 million, the final box office was only 48 million.
Yuan Heping, the director, has received a lot of ridicule.
Many netizens suggested that it was better for him to continue to be a martial arts instructor, not every martial arts finger has the strength to transform.
The box office of "Love in the City" really went up to 100 million.
At the same time, Huang Xiaoming's scandal is getting more and more true, but he just doesn't admit it, even if there are photos......
"I feel like Brother Long's movie, a little sluggish?"
Lin Nan glanced at the data of "Big Soldier and Little General", and it was really not good.
He alone is a salary of tens of millions, and if there is only a box office of more than 100 million, Bo Na, as an investor, is afraid that it is a bit hanging.
The market is bigger, there are more choices, and Cheng Chan's movies are still those old routines......
On the day that "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" was sent to the Film Bureau, "People in Embarrassment" got the permission to be screened publicly.
The light began to prepare a promotional plan for the film.
The only special effects of "Thieves" were successfully completed, and Lin Nan began to bury his head in speeding up the finishing work.
Halfway through, Yinghuang also sent an invitation to start "New Shaolin Temple", but Lin Nan also refused.
Finally, on the last day of February, "Thieves" and "Embroidered Spring Knife" completed post-production at the same time and submitted for review as soon as possible.
"I can finally get a good rest. Director Lin, during the period before the publicity, I was not ready to take the job. ”
"Hmm."
Lin Nan nodded and agreed to Lu Yang's arrangement, and looked at Guo Wan again.
"Where's you?"
"I'm going back to school to make up for directing and cinematography."
Guo Wan was able to say this, Lin Nan was not surprised, his character is like this.
If these two people are willing to take on the show, there should be a lot of projects coming over during this time.
But one wants to rest, the other wants to study, both have clear ideas and plans, which are different from those who make quick money outside.
"Then let's disperse, I was expecting you to do more business revenue for the company, haha......"
Lin Nan shook his head and quipped.
"The four films of Lin Nan Pictures have all been completed."
"Looking forward to the release of "League of Thieves". This is Director Lin's latest commercial blockbuster since "The Martian". ”
……
Entering March.
Zhang Yimou took the crew of "Hawthorn Tree" and started the film in a low-key manner.
"Zhao's Orphan" is a big fanfare, for fear that everyone will not know that Director Chen is about to start.
"Future Police" and "Koshihikari Treasure Box" are all movies to be released in March, and the publicity has been full.
However, something went wrong with "Ip Man 2" again.
In view of the good results of the first part, Yang Shoucheng decided to advance the publicity to March.
Everyone in the crew is fine, except for Donnie Yen.
Originally, the propaganda activities that were promised were released by the latter several times in a row, all because he received the notice temporarily.
Although the attitude afterwards is very good, all kinds of compensation is wrong, find reasons, but this kind of behavior still has not stopped, very bad.
"If it weren't for the fear that something bad would happen before the movie was released, I would have already taught him a lesson......"
Lin Nan could hear that Yang Shoucheng was trying his best to restrain himself and not swear.
recalled Donnie Yen's "humble" attitude when he begged for this role with one eye, and then compared and looked at this moment, his rampant character was exposed......
"When the movie is released, Yang Dong will be casual."
Lin Nan said without a trace of emotion, this kind of person really needs to be beaten.
……
Since the establishment of Shanhai Media, artists in the circle have come to inquire about the news from time to time.
Lin Nan took the time to take a look at the list today.
How so? If you mix well, you won't easily consider changing jobs, and this list is full of third-tier people who don't have much potential.
"Chicken ribs, it's better to raise new people than to cultivate these people."
Lin Nan went to pay attention to the news of the art examination by the way.
There are several familiar child stars this year, Zhang Yishan and Yang Zi......
That Zhou Dongyu voluntarily gave up this year's college entrance examination in order to be able to shoot "Hawthorn Tree", and the art examination must have been given up.
But this choice is absolutely correct. There are art exams every year, but not every time I have the opportunity to act in Zhang Yimou's movies.
In other words, to put it mildly, being the heroine of Zhang Yimou's movie almost means that next year's art examination will be "guaranteed" steadily.
Lin Nan felt that if he found an amateur, he should also have this kind of treatment.
……
A long time ago, Lin Nan suggested that Zhu Yawen open a studio.
It's been a few years, and it's only now that it's settled.
As classmates and friends, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went to the cheers together.
"I'll have to call you Boss Zhu in the future."
Liu Yifei joked as soon as they met.
"Don't dare, you have to talk to Director Lin often, and you will be rewarded with two more mouthfuls of food in the future, haha......"
"Then you're still hungry." Liu Yifei joked.
"Still hanging here with Wang Jinghua?"
Zhu Yawen nodded, "It's hanging here." ”
Lin Nan understood what the other party meant, friends are friends, and they don't want to get involved in the relationship of interests.
Think about Wang Jinghua's company, which is also declining now, where is there still the momentum of the past.
The big-name artists in her hands either run away or take on a play in a year or two, and there is no voice for her in the circle for a long time.
There will be more and more studios of first-line artists, and pure brokerage companies will not be able to survive at all in the future......
…………
"Thank you for the company's care over the years, and I wish the company better and better in the future......"
On the day the contract expired, Yang Mi went back to Rong Xinda, and she understood the truth of getting together and dispersing.
"I wish you the best of luck. 、
Having said that, everyone outside is laughing at Rong Xinda, and those who leave will develop very well, just like Zhou Xun and them......"
Li Xiaowan looked at Yang Mi and said with self-deprecation that she was the one who signed Yang Mi back in the first place.
The latter didn't know how to take it, but it seemed to be true.
"Mr. Li, the company will get better and better."
Li Xiaowan looked directly at Yang Mi, "Can you tell me, where is the next one?" ”
Yang Mi hesitated and didn't hide it.
"I signed Shanhai Media."
Li Xiaowan woke up like a dream, a little distracted, "No wonder you don't renew the contract, it's indeed a good place to go......"
……
Another exciting news came out in the entertainment industry.
Yang Mi, one of the four little flowers, signed a contract with Shanhai Media and became the first artist to sign a contract since the establishment of the company.
"People go to a high place, although it is a newly established brokerage company, but behind it is Lin Nan Pictures......"
"Yang Mi has chosen the right company this time!"
……
Cai Yinong looked at the Weibo posted by Shanhai Media and Yang Mi at the same time on the Internet, and felt very uncomfortable.
Since the game endorsement incident, she has had a falling out with Yang Mi.
Now that I saw that the other party signed with Lin Nan's brokerage company, I was even more angry.
She has been in contact with Yang Mi and has tried to dig it even more, so she understands the other party.
In Cai Yinong's eyes, Yang Mi is a person who will never let go once he seizes the opportunity.
Now that the latter has gone to Shanhai Media, there is a high probability that there will be no shortage of resources in the future. Thinking about Liu Shishi of his own company, Cai Yinong had another headache......
Zhang Yi has been busy filming the promotional film of "Let the Bullets Fly" in the past two days.
I finally took a break today, and I was called back to the company again.
"Director Lin, what's the matter with calling me back?"
Lin Nan thought about transferring Zhang Yi's contract to the brokerage company after setting up a brokerage company.
But Zhang Yi is the first artist he signed after all, and Lin Nan feels that it is necessary to respect the other party's opinion.
"Now that the brokerage company has been established, should your contract be transferred so that they can be dispatched in the future?"
When Zhang Yi heard this, he shook his head.
"Director Lin, I'm your first soldier, a veteran of a ten-year contract.
I'd better stay here at Lin Nan Pictures, I'm used to it, haha......"
Lin Nan was very curious, how Zhang Yi did it, with both loyalty and a hint of smoothness in his smile!
"Really?"
"Isn't it good now that you said that......
Zhang Yi bit to death and didn't go to Shanhai Media, and looked like he was going to die in Lin Nan Pictures.
One is a direct line, the other is a subsidiary, he can tell the good from the bad, and there are two directors here.
Lin Nan couldn't see Zhang Yi's thoughts, looking at sincerity, he was actually a good person.
"Okay, you're the first and last, that contract was really ruthless ......"
Lin Nan complained, and finally left Zhang Yi's contractual relationship on Lin Nan's side of Pictures.
……
Tom's efficiency is not low, and the schedule of "Super Body" has been set.
"I talked to Lionsgate, and Paul suggested that the time be on July 1st......"
Lin Nan has no objection to this time, it just happens to be a summer file.
He had a plan before, and when the time comes, he will use some favors to ask Leonardo and Matt Damon to help promote it, stand on the platform, and believe that these two people will give him this face.
"Then July 1st, this matter is very important." Lin Nan emphasized again.
"I understand, Crystal! I'll be sure to keep an eye on ......."
……
After ending the call with Tom, Lin Nan took out the script of "Painted Skin 2".
The first part was filmed in the first half of 07, and it will be three years ago.
Counting the time, I have to shoot a sequel this year, and it's not good to delay it for too long.
Lin Nan thought of Wu Ershan, this guy had single-handedly recommended himself before, and he was really "bold".
To be honest, for "Painted Skin 2", Lin Nan doesn't really want to do it himself, and he doesn't have the freshness he had when he filmed the first part.
"Let's get back to it."
Although he hesitated for a while, Lin Nan still asked people to take the script of "Painted Skin 2" and send it for review, and then put it on file first.
Starlight is highly efficient.
"Warring States" held a large-scale launch conference in the capital.
There were quite a few media reporters, film and television stars, and filmmakers present.
Lin Nan was also among the invited guests.
He didn't go, though, just sent a text message.
Because when I went, I would inevitably be asked by the media about the director's invitation, and it was easy to dominate the audience.
On top of that, he really can't look directly at the movie "Sengoku".
……
On the other side, the "Koshihikari Treasure Box" was released.
A large number of audiences were once again brought into the theater by "feelings".
I can't tell whether this movie is good or bad, there is a lot of scolding and praise.
But it is undeniable that its box office is indeed growing, exceeding 60 million in 4 days, and it is almost no problem to exceed 100 million.
Guo Wan, this guy, quietly found something for Lin Nan.
"When I was working on Source Code, he left my phone number. Director Yue is not here, so he can only ask me to ask, if Director Lin thinks it is not suitable, I will push it? ”
After thinking for a while, Lin Nan replied, "Let him come to the company by himself." ”
"Okay, then I'll let him come and see you himself."
Hung up the phone, Lin Nan felt speechless, one by one, all in this way.
Yang Mi filmed "Embroidered Spring Knife" and asked through Yue Jun; Lei Jiayin filmed "Source Code" and asked Guo Wan to inquire.
"You don't go through formal channels, do you? I'm going to see, who's next? ”
The next morning, Lin Nan met Lei Jiayin in the company.
Not to mention, this guy is a bit similar to Zhang Yi in some aspects, he looks honest, and he may have a lot of eyes.
"Director Lin."
Seeing Lin Nan, Lei Jiayin hurriedly got up and said hello.
Think about the first time I saw Lei Jiayin, it was when Hu Ge took Lin Nan around the play.
"Don't tell me that your contract just expired recently?"
"Director Lin laughed, I expired a year ago, and I took a break for a while, don't you want to come to the company, haha......"
By the way, it is this honest smile that is very similar to Zhang Yi, but it is actually a disguise, which is very deceptive!
Lin Nan looked at Lei Jiayin and shook his head.
The other party's smile disappeared in an instant, like a mourning exam.
"Lin, Director Lin, see if I can do it, if you give me an accurate word, I will be so desperate ......"
Lin Nan knew that the other party would be wrong.
"I'm not saying you can't, what I mean by shaking my head is that you can only take the road of being an actor, and you can't become a star......"
"Why?" Lei Jiayin subconsciously asked.
Lin Nan almost laughed, what do you look like, don't you have any points in your heart? "Celebrities can eat with their faces......"
Now Lei Jiayin understood in seconds, "Then I must rely on my acting skills to eat......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Lei Jiayin's eyes widen suddenly, and his voice trembled slightly, "You mean, you mean that you can sign me?" ”
"Yes."
Lin Nan nodded, this is worth signing.
"Hahaha, then, when can I sign it?"
"In such a hurry?"
"No, I'm idle anyway, I'm idle, I'm at ease."
Come on, he deserves to be a man from the Northeast, Mali.
Lin Nan asked people to send the contract of Shanhai Media in.
"Look carefully, don't talk about cheating you then."
"That won't be, that won't."
said no, but his eyes were fixed on the contract, and he looked at it without landing.
"Director Lin, I heard that Zhang Yi ......"
"Don't hear about it, that's all there is to it." Lin Nan was speechless to the extreme.
……
Lei Jiayin chose a 5-year contract and signed the contract with a smile.
Lin Nan felt that he could let this guy partner with Zhang Yi, he looked like an honest person, but in fact, he was no less than anyone else.
There was an accident, there is only one chapter today, and there are many words missing, I will make up for it later.
(End of chapter)
