Chapter 268: Stopping the Project

When filming "Painted Skin 1", Pei Rong's temperament was gentle, a good wife and a good mother.

Zeng Li and Chen Minghao recommended Mei Ting to Lin Nan.

Now filming "Painted Skin 2".

Mei Ting was not able to open the schedule, and the temperament did not match, and then Zeng Li came.

"I mean, you're really a family that helps each other."

Lin Nan looked at Zeng Li in front of him and made a joke.

"Director Lin laughed, it was Meizi who asked me to ask, saying that she would complete the sequel for her, and forget it if it is not suitable, haha."

Zeng Li, judging from his face, does have a heroic spirit.

If she is asked to play the role of Princess Jing, the second female lead, it should be okay.

"This drama is different from the role of Senior Sister Mei Ting in "Painted Skin 1".

At that time, she only had literary dramas, and in this one, there were a lot of martial arts and other scenes. ”

Lin Nan reminded.

"Director Lin, you underestimate me a little."

Zeng Li could hear that she had hope.

Lin Nan remembered that when filming "Time and Space Cruise", Zeng Li had a lot of violent scenes.

He shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate it, you can come and sign a contract when the time comes."

The movie will start this month, and I will meet Director Wu Ershan in advance when I go back. ”

"No problem, thank you Director Lin."

In terms of casting, Lin Nan still prefers to use acquaintances, because it is convenient to know the roots.

…………

"Ip Man 2" can be described as a hit.

How to say it, the audience may need a perfect hero in their hearts, who can both fight and take care of their families.

Ip Man in the movie just meets this requirement.

""Ip Man 2" got 94 million in 6 days, and the box office exceeded 100 million in the first week......"

Regarding the results of this movie, Lin Nan Pictures is much more low-key, and when the time comes, it will be enough to share the account.

It's a different story on the Emperor's side, where more than a dozen press releases are sent out almost every day.

Guo Degang became a director and starring for the first time.

I don't know if I took out all the money that Deyun Club has earned in the past two years.

The scale of the premiere is really not small, and many stars came to cheer.

When answering reporters' questions on the spot, he bluntly said that the box office would surpass "Ip Man 2".

Lin Nan really didn't have much impression of this movie.

But he knew that the audience was most likely not interested in the black, fat and short Tang Bohu.

Sure enough.

After the first day of the release of this "Three Smiling Talented Girls", the media did not even give the box office data on the first day.

just said in general terms: the box office on the first day was less than 600,000.

Many netizens are mocking.

"Jumping two people to make movies, talking about cross talk making movies, all the cross-border movies are bad movies......"

Sometimes, the audience is not so easy to fool.

Guo Degang's movie, which cost $2 million, can be regarded as a waste of money.

……

Wu Ershan came to the company.

"Director Lin, I have already found other actors from the film studio.

When the costume props are in place, the crew can officially start the film. ”

When Wu Ershan said this, he was a little excited.

Lin Nan could see that the other party was a little impatient.

"How long will it take for Xiying and Ningying to be there?"

The design and production of costume props are the responsibility of those two companies.

"Because I have the foundation of the first part, I can do it in ten days at most this time."

Lin Nan calculated the time, and it was almost the middle of the month.

"Then turn on the 20th."

"Okay."

…………

"I heard the news from Yinghuang, and many management said that they would open "Ip Man 3".

The agent said with a smile on his face.

After these two movies, Donnie Yen is already a stable first-line action star, and his popularity is very high.

The most recent endorsement offer has reached a maximum of eight figures a year. And the number of ad offers is high.

"What does Yang Dong mean?"

Donnie Yen asked with a single nod, with a smile on his face that was "famous".

"I guess I'm considering a quote for you, haha......"

As soon as the agent's words were finished, he suddenly thought of something, and his face instantly became gloomy.

"This time we have to take the initiative, they need you."

Donnie Yen sneered when he heard this.

"If Dong Yang comes to me to talk about the third part, how much will I be paid?"

"Ten million...... No, 30 million! ”

Donnie Yen looked at the agent suddenly, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie have been fighting for so many years before they have a price of tens of millions.

"Will this work? After all......"

Halfway through the words, Donnie Yen stopped, thinking about his current popularity and the reports outside.

He felt that he could ask for 30 million, and he was already a unique kung fu superstar, and scarce was expensive!

Cheng Long and Li Lianjie couldn't fight for a long time......

"Okay, 30 million."

At this moment, Donnie Yen has a feeling that he is about to replace Cheng Long and Li Lianjie.

……

Lin Nan Pictures disclosed the fixed angle of "Painted Skin 2" to the outside world.

"Fox Demon Xiaowei: Zhou Xun."

"Huo Xin: Huang Xiaoming."

"Princess Jing: Zeng Li."

"Demon Hunter: Zhu Yawen."

"Sparrow: Yang Mi."

"Sirius Queen: Xie Nan."

……

This cast has made a lot of discussions in the circle and on the Internet.

"At this glance, you can know that it is the corner chosen by Director Lin......"

"It's all acquaintances!"

"Looking forward to the second part, when will it be released?"

Lin Nan was chatting with Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming at this time.

Unlike other actors, these two can be regarded as the most expensive in the crew of "Painted Skin 2".

"Director Lin, why don't you be more generous, add more?"

"Brother Xun, maliciously raising salaries is disrupting the market!"

Lin Nan said jokingly.

Huang Xiaoming shook his head with a smile on the side, "I only have more than half of you, and I didn't say anything." ”

Zhou Xun glared at Huang Xiaoming, "Sister, I have several actresses." ”

"Yes, I can't afford to mess with you."

Lin Nan's salary for the two is their current market quotation.

Weekly, six million. Huang Xiaoming, 3.5 million.

Seeing that Lin Nan only smiled and didn't speak, Zhou Xun didn't shout about raising his salary anymore, but joked:

"In other words, after the release of "Super Body" in July, will your Jiayifei's salary be 10 million? Well, there is a high probability that it will go up.

What a envy! It's good to be able to act in Hollywood movies, and the salary can easily crush me......"

"When that movie is released, there will be a premiere in China, and you remember to leave time to cheer it up."

Lin Nan ignored Zhou Xun, but reminded him of "Super Body".

"No problem, I'm sure I'll be there for you."

Huang Xiaoming took the lead in expressing his position!

……

The three of them chatted for two hours, and Lin Nan heard a lot of news.

Li Bingbing has already talked to Wang Zhonglei that after the contract expires this month, he will not renew the contract, but open his own studio.

Huang Xiaoming also plans to do so, and when the contract expires in July, he will also leave Huayi and become his own boss.

"All of them are people who understand!"

…………

In two weeks, the box office of "Ip Man 2" has reached 180 million, and it looks like it is about to cross the threshold of 200 million.

Donnie Yen's popularity has reached an extreme.

In Lin Nan's view, it should be Donnie Yen's "Ip Man" fire, not Donnie Yen's own fire.

After all, he is much worse than Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, the latter two have their own characteristics and styles, and they are piled up with one movie after another.

And Donnie Yen does not have this kind of accumulation and precipitation, and has no characteristics of its own.

As a qualified businessman, Yang Shoucheng put aside his dissatisfaction with Donnie Yen for the time being. He had people communicate with the latter's team.

At this time, in Yang Shoucheng's office, the atmosphere was extremely silent.

The ground is littered with porcelain shards.

Huo Wenxi and a middle-aged man from the marketing department stood in front of the huge desk, looking at Yang Shoucheng with frost on his face, not knowing how to persuade him.

After a long time, Yang Shoucheng spoke.

"He said it himself, 30 million?"

"Yes, he said it himself. The agent said that it was still up to the first two parts of the cooperation......"

"Hehe......" Yang Shoucheng sneered.

"In the entire film industry, how many people are worth this price? Did he make a name for himself in Hollywood, or did he have a bad brain? ”

With the momentum of "Ip Man 2", he dared to open this price. When the movie is released and the boast is over, we can talk about it again. The person from the marketing department proposed.

Yang Shoucheng suddenly thought of something, "He also made this offer for other drama contracts?" ”

Huo Wenxi's eyelids jumped, "It seems to be ...... No. ”

"How much?"

"About 10 million."

"Good, good, good......"

Yang Shoucheng suddenly became very calm, he took out his mobile phone, dialed out.

"Director Lin, it's my ......"

…………

Lin Nan couldn't believe his ears.

Donnie Yen, is that guy crazy?

"Biting to death for this price?"

"Yes, it's arrogant."

Lin Nan's mind instantly thought.

"Director Lin?"

……

A few minutes later, Lin Nan picked up the phone again.

"Yang Dong, I'm here.

This project, I'm ready to stop. ”

Hearing these words in Yang Shoucheng's ears, he was at a loss for a while.

He just called Lin Nan to talk about it, and he didn't think about stopping the project, and he didn't want to stop.

"Director Lin, I will solve this matter, don't worry......"

"This time, I can take advantage of the momentum of "Ip Man 2" to blackmail 30 million, and next time it may be hundreds of millions, and I don't lack this project."

Lin Nan said angrily.

Yang Shoucheng really regretted making this call at this time.

"And then that's it?" Yang Shoucheng asked unwillingly.

"Put it on hold indefinitely, or change people in two years."

Lin Nan replied, without a trace of room for negotiation.

……

Hanging up the phone, Yang Shoucheng's face was even more unsightly.

"Yang Dong, Director Lin really wants to stop "Ip Man"? But this is obviously a money-making project......"

"Stop."

Yang Shoucheng looked up at Huo Wenxi, and lowered his voice, "Don't pay attention to that guy anymore, this project will stop ......"

Yinghuang opens a lot of movies every year, but the profit of "Ip Man" is far from being comparable to other movies.

Especially the current one, which has exceeded 200 million......

When Huo Wenxi was about to leave the office, Yang Shoucheng added.

"In the future, I don't want to see the films produced by the group or the films that participate in the investment."

"Well, I see, Yang Dong."

……

Lin Nan didn't take this matter to heart.

In his opinion, there are so many projects, shelving one, it has no impact at all, but it is also worry-free.
