The news of the start of preparations for "Painted Skin 2" spread from Bazaar throughout the circle in less than half an hour.

No one disputes its accuracy.

Because the news came out of Liu Yifei's mouth. This is Lin Nan's real girlfriend, who confessed and made public at the award ceremony!

"It's a pity that Director Lin didn't come today, otherwise I would definitely talk to him about the salary. Now it's four million, but you can't invite me. ”

Zhou Xun sat next to Liu Yifei and chuckled with red wine.

"Then you have to go to him yourself, it's useless to tell me."

Liu Yifei smiled and was not fooled.

Huang Xiaoming, who was at the same table, shook his head and didn't get involved in the conversation between the two.

He has already gotten Lin Nan's permission, and he and Zhou Xun will continue to play the leading roles, waiting for the official announcement.

There are more and more actors and artists who come to greet Liu Yifei, and the purpose is very clear.

The truth of Vanity Fair is vividly displayed at this moment.

The party officially began.

…………

"There's no drama in hand, right?"

"I just got a notebook.,I'm still thinking about it.。 "Painted Skin 2"? ”

Zhu Yawen was halfway through speaking, and reacted instantly.

"Yes, supporting actor, are you interested? I'm taking care of you first. ”

"Of course there is, Director Lin's movie, I have to say yes even if I lie on the operating table, I have to crawl, haha......"

"Then you'd better finish the castration surgery first, and I can change the script for you."

Lin Nan made a joke and teased.

"You're just castrated......"

If you choose according to the original cast, this role can be given to Hugo......

But because Shu Zhan was filming a costume drama over there, Lin Nan gave the supporting actress to Yang Mi.

He thought that since it was all like this, the male supporting actor simply chose Zhu Yawen, who was closer, so he didn't consider Hu Ge.

In addition, Meiting couldn't come because of the schedule.

Fortunately, the role of Princess Jing must have a trace of heroism, and Mei Ting's temperament is a little worse, so it's good to replace it.

……

In the film market, the box office of "Durala" was 40 million in the first week and 60 million in ten days.

This movie should be stable over 100 million, and any more will be a little unrealistic.

The praise of "Xu Cainu" on the Internet instantly increased a lot.

The eyes of the film industry are looking at "Ip Man 2" and are only waiting for the official release two days later.

So far this year, no domestic film has reached the box office of 200 million, and everyone is looking forward to whether "Ip Man 2" can achieve Yang Shoucheng's bold words at the premiere.

Donnie Yen seems to have a pearl of wisdom in his hands, and he has raised a lot of profiles in the past two days.

When I was interviewed at the event, I was talking about my various hardships, dedication, and hard work when filming "Ip Man 2......

Lin Nan was a little speechless when he saw these news. Good guy, you have a lot of ability to brag about yourself, what about the face?

Liu Yifei flew back early the next morning after participating in the Bazaar Charity Night.

She didn't fancy any of the things at the party. At the end of the day, a little money was donated in the names of the two of them.

……

On the morning of the 27th.

Lin Nan took Wu Ershan with him, and the two of them arrived at Zhongying on time.

Han Sanping, Ye Ning, and the people of Xiying and Ningying have been waiting for a long time.

"Director Lin, you've got it."

Ye Ning greeted him first and shook hands with a smile.

"Several, let me introduce, this is Wu Ershan, my former assistant director of "Painted Skin 1".

After Wu Ershan and Han Sanping greeted each other, they sat at the edge of the conference room.

He only had the qualifications to listen to the next thing.

For "Painted Skin 2", Wanda has some ideas.

"Why don't you try 3D?"

The appearance of "Avatar" makes 3D movies like a spell, haunting the hearts of domestic filmmakers.

Recently, many production companies have begun to set up 3D film projects with great fanfare.

It's just that no one can judge how many companies are shouting slogans and how many companies are ready to do practical things with real money.

"I have no plans to make this film into a 3D film."

Lin Nan directly refused. Domestic 3D movies are not yet mature. Whether it's real 3D or 2D to 3D, it's a bit overwhelming and time-consuming.

He felt that he could wait a little longer.

"Then forget it, let's talk about the budget and investment." Han Sanping said.

When it came to business, everyone instantly lifted their spirits.

"The second part has a lot more special effects than the first part, and my budget is 120 million."

Wu Ershan also heard accurate numbers for the first time, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

Han Sanping looked at each other.

"We don't have a problem with the budget, but hopefully you'll still be involved this time, like the director or the chief producer."

Several companies in China Film have this consideration, and Lin Nan can understand it. After all, in their eyes, Wu Ershan is just a small director.

"The producer is too busy, I have other things to do, so I'll be the director, right?"

"Yes."

The next hour or so is the time for several families to pull.

Lin Nan did not have the preferential treatment of offsetting the investment share with the director's salary this time.

But as the main controller, no one has any objection to Lin Nan Pictures' 30% investment.

Zhongying has the right, Wanda is rich, and the final proportion is divided, and Xiying and Ningying can only admit it.

"Lin Nan Pictures is 30%, and the special effects are handed over to Tiangong Color."

"China Film 20%, publicize the business to us."

"Wanda 20%."

"West Shadow 15%."

"Ningying 15%."

When filming "Painted Skin 1", especially the costumes, weapons, and ancient background design, they were basically from Xiying and Ningying, and they were still in charge this time.

In the afternoon of the same day, the five announced the matter to the outside world at the same time.

The circle instantly became lively.

"Painted Skin 2" is jointly invested and produced by Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, Wanda, West Film, and Ning Film."

"The investment amount of this film is as high as 120 million, and Wu Ershan will be used as the director."

"Director Lin Nan will serve as the director of "Painted Skin 2".

……

The news of the change of director surprised the industry.

Many people think that Lin Nan is playing with fire, isn't it good to make money steadily? Do you want to make a substitution?

A large number of agencies and actors are paying attention to the casting of the movie.

After all, there are only four artists under Lin Nan, Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin both have drama appointments, and Reba is a newcomer......

"Most of the actors have already been decided, and the rest will not be auditioned publicly......"

When Yue Jun was interviewed, he gave an accurate answer, which made many brokerage companies in the circle die down instantly.

……

"Tell me something. Because of the schedule, I rejected Director Lin. ”

Mei Ting's words made many people appear in the group instantly.

"You're out of luck, that's a shame." Chen Minghao complained.

"A blockbuster of 120 million, isn't it distressing?"

"Isn't this nonsense? It is estimated that Director Lin is still looking for a replacement, which of you has a schedule, you can ask ......"

"It's a pity that I'm a man......," Liu Ye said coldly.

……

Although Guangguang did not participate in the investment, Lao Wang still came to ask if there were any supporting roles.

Lin Nan will still give this face, anyway, it's just some small supporting roles.

"You let Xie Nan come to our company. I joked with me before, saying that she cut her footage to less than two minutes.

At that time, I gave a promise, saying that I could give her a role of more than five minutes of footage later, haha......"

Wang Changtian responded and said that he would let Xie Nan pass as soon as possible.

Lin Nan flipped through the script, there were so many supporting roles, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to arrange it.

"Or, just give her a Sirius Queen?

Well, it feels good, that's it! ”

……

The much-talked-about "Ip Man 2" was officially released on the 29th.

Lin Nan didn't care too much about the attendance, after all, it was Thursday, and the first two days were supposed to be the first day of the third day.

However, most of the reports on the Internet are very good.

A handful of film critics are so critical that almost no one pays attention to them.

Early the next morning, Lin Nan was woken up by a phone call.

This is the first time that Yinghuang has called early in the morning, so it shouldn't be bad news.

"Hey, Yang Dong, how much?"

"Director Lin, young people have to get up early, haha."

Lin Nan looked at the time, it was just after seven o'clock, he usually started at eight o'clock, and Liu Yifei's side, if he didn't work, it would only be later.

"I can't compare to Yang Dong, my heart is full of business. Let's get down to business. ”

"The box office on the first day in the mainland is 14.62 million, which is very good!"

When Lin Nan heard this number, he also nodded.

Judging from this first-day data, the box office of 200 million should be no problem. During the May Day period, there is a high probability that the daily box office will be 20 million.

"Congratulations to Yang Dong."

"Haha, Director Lin, ...... with joy"

……

On news sites, the news of "Ip Man 2" accounts for almost half.

The series was a complete success.

The box office on the second day was 15.32 million.

On the third day, May 1, the box office of "Ip Man 2" came to 21 million.

Everyone in the circle remembered Yang Shoucheng's words at the premiere.

The box office of this movie is bound to reach 200 million.

"Part 3, can we join it?" Quite a few production companies started to play with this idea.

Once a series is successful, it will be easier to make money than other films because it has accumulated a large number of fans and audiences.

……

The popularity of "Ip Man 2" has made the box office of "Durala", which has already reached the second half, even more sluggish.

Originally, in China Film's estimates, "Durala" could get a box office of more than 150 million.

This time it fell directly at 120 million, and it was released by the trend, but it was already considered blood earning, after all, the cost was only 20 million.

Yinghuang headquarters.

"Dong Yang, it's time for us to strike while the iron is hot and think about the sequel."

Huo Wenxi reminded that she hopes that in the third part, she can add some more artists from the Emperor.

Yang Shoucheng nodded, the money-making project must be continued.

"He's been in a good mood lately?"

Huo Wenxi understood who the boss was asking.

"Endorsement fees have skyrocketed, value has skyrocketed, and notices are full......

Although the salary has not reached the price of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, the popularity has approached those two, although it may only be temporary. ”

Hearing this, Yang Shoucheng's face was a little gloomy.

"I'll talk about it in a few days......"

As a businessman, Yang Shoucheng was ambivalent at this time.

On the one hand, he really wants to knock on Donnie Yen, and on the other hand, he needs to think about the third part, after all, the original team is the best choice......

In the entire May Day file, among domestic movies, "Ip Man 2" is unbeatable.
