Chapter 269: Box Office, Screening, Visiting Class
Since Lin Nan made the decision to stop the "Ip Man" project, Yinghuang's press release has suddenly decreased a lot.
I won't say anything about the sequel anymore.
However, the Internet and the media are still hotly discussed, speculating about when the third part will start filming.
At the same time, the box office of "Ip Man 2" came to 200 million.
followed by 205 million, 210 million......
Little by little, it is moving towards a higher box office.
Donnie Yen's team, after offering a salary of 30 million to Yinghuang, waited for the good news with confidence.
In their opinion, Yang Shoucheng may be annoyed, but in the end, he will definitely accept it.
After running for several days to make announcements, Donnie Yen and his agent remembered this.
"No reply from there?"
"It may still be discussed, it should be a day or two."
The agent looks light-hearted, and he has made a lot of money recently.
"I have to let them hurry up, so when they are interviewed, they are all asking me about "Ip Man 3".
Donnie Yen nodded and said, but he didn't take it seriously.
Similar to what his agent thought, he also felt that there would be no surprises in this matter.
"I'll make a call in a moment. Now there are so many drama appointments, they don't hurry up, and our schedule will not be easy to arrange when the time comes, hehe......"
"Well, then you can rush it."
…………
Lin Nan saw the news of the opening ceremony in Cannes.
Among these domestic stars, Fan Bingbing played fancy, and he won enough eyeballs in a "dragon robe".
At this time, the Internet is full of her red carpet photos, and the topic is very high.
"Director Lin, the light said that the publicity of "People in Embarrassment" can begin." Yue Jun reminded.
"Go and inform Xu Zheng and cooperate with the publicity."
Lin Nan opened his mouth and commanded.
He doesn't worry about publicity, and with Xu Zheng's attention to "People in Embarrassment", his transformation and future, he will definitely work hard.
Xiying and Ning Ying completed the work of costuming props, and Wu Ershan was ready to start the machine in advance.
Although the launch conference was not deliberately held, there were still many media who came to join in the fun.
"Painted Skin 2" started in a low-key manner today."
"All the cast have arrived......"
Yue Jun went to the scene on behalf of Lin Nan, and by the way, he reminded Xia Wu Ershan again, and mentioned Yang Mi's role as much as possible to the premise and completed it before July.
Lin Nan was driving Liu Yifei and the three of them to the airport at this moment.
"Auntie, Sissi, look for Tom when you get off the plane, he will bring someone to wait there."
"Well, got it. I'll just go for three days and I'll be back in three days. ”
Liu Yifei on the co-pilot nodded.
Liu Xiaoli in the back seat looked at the two people who interacted along the way, very warm.
"Super Body" will be released on July 1, and Liu Yifei has to rush over in advance to shoot the promotional video and poster.
Outside the airport, many reporters saw Liu Yifei and his party.
"No wonder Director Lin didn't go to the start-up site of "Painted Skin 2", there is something else to do with his feelings!"
"Calculate the time, they should fly to Hollywood, "Super Body" thing."
……
Liu Yifei let go of Lin Nan's hand.
"I'm in?"
"Go ahead."
It's not life and death, Miss Liu is suddenly quite sensational.
"Remember to pick up the airport when the time comes......"
Liu Yifei admonished, and followed Liu's mother and assistant to the waiting hall.
Lin Nan shook his head with a smile, and was just about to get in the car to go back, when he saw several reporters surrounding him.
"Director Lin, Yifei is going on a business trip?"
"Well, the promotional video for "Super Body" needs to be filmed in the past."
Lin Nan did not hide it.
Several reporters confirmed this conjecture, and they were very happy for a while, and it was a good news material.
"Director Lin, is "Ip Man 3" already in preparation? Donnie Yen was interviewed two days ago and said that there would be ......"
Lin Nan shook his head, didn't say much, and after a few words, he left.
"What does this mean? Is it in preparation or not? ”
"Shake your head, I guess I haven't prepared yet!"
…………
On the car radio, yesterday's news was talked.
Dozens of large-scale high-end "entertainment venues" in the capital were swept away at the same time, which is really a big scene.
The press release is well written, especially the sentence: "There are many well-known people in the entertainment industry at the scene", which is very interesting.
"Heaven and Earth......
Lin Nan muttered with a smile while driving the car.
…………
"Sister Mani, why did you stop this project?"
Donnie Yen's agent asked in a panic, and she had a faint feeling that she had messed things up.
On the other end of the phone, Huo Wenxi's tone was unusually cold, and he only said that he would not contact him in the future, and hung up the phone.
At this moment, a guess came out of the broker's heart, it wouldn't be the reason for the tenfold quotation on his side, right?
She admitted that she asked for an extra 20 million, but ......
When Donnie Yen heard Yinghuang's decision, his face instantly turned ugly.
Fame and fortune, he wants both.
The two "Ip Man" made him stand on the front line, but what about the three and four?
Sorry? Probably a little. But he has no regrets.
The skyrocketing worth in these days has already made Donnie Yen feel that he is worth this price!
"Stop, stop. We still have so many movies to choose from, and choosing some good scripts is enough to push you to a super-first-line position......"
The agent has already forgotten about "Ip Man" at this time, and his face is full of smiles.
Donnie Yen nodded. "That's right, I'm not short of scripts now!"
"Maybe Yinghuang will take the initiative to come to us and raise the salary. Hehe. The agent said casually.
…………
After more than 20 days of release, the box office of "Ip Man 2" in the mainland came to 260 million.
After Lin Nan and Ying Huang negotiated, they decided to release it.
This is the first film to break through more than 200 million at the box office this year so far.
A celebration feast is indispensable.
Donnie Yen just showed up in a hurry, and left the reception on the pretext of rushing to make an announcement.
Almost no one thinks much about it, after all, because of "Ip Man 2", this one is really popular and there are many announcements.
Ning Hao held the wine glass and ran to Lin Nan excitedly.
"So happy to pick up the money?"
"It's nothing, I just received an invitation from Golden Horse to be one of the judges this year."
He said that it was nothing, and his face was about to burst into wrinkles with laughter.
"That's hello."
Ning Hao waved his hand and said something else.
"Two days ago, Mr. Lu invited me to visit the class ......"
Lin Nan knew what Ning Hao was talking about, and visited "Warring States". He knew Lu Zheng and Jing Tian because of Ning Hao.
"You don't want to ask me about the situation?"
"Say whatever you want."
Lin Nan glanced at the other party, and the latter looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
"Thankfully, I didn't take the job at the time. I gave Mr. Lu face, went to see it all morning, and you know how I feel in my heart? ”
Without waiting for Lin Nan to answer, Ning Hao couldn't help but ask himself.
"It's a mess, it's terrible......"
Lin Nan just listened to Ning Hao's complaints, the script was poor, the modeling was poor, the director was poor, and the actors were ......
"Alright, there are so many people around. If you don't say a few words, it's not good to be passed on. ”
Hearing this, Ning Hao restrained himself a little and shook his head, "In short, this movie can't be said." ”
Lin Nan thought of Liu Yifei.
Miss Liu's movie role is not said to be the heroine of "Super Body".
Lu Zheng was still too anxious, and he directly wanted Jing Tian to do it in one step.
…………
Don people.
Cai Yinong's face was gloomy, listening to the reports of the people below.
"What does this mean? Coming for us? ”
"Mr. Cai, could it be a coincidence?"
The assistant hesitated and asked.
The company bought the copyright before and wanted to shoot "Step by Step".
Seeing that the script was about to be changed, it turned out that other companies were going to make similar dramas.
The same background, the same heroine crosses, it's hard not to think of the word "plagiarism".
"What's going on over there?" Cai Yinong asked.
"Listen...... I heard that the role has been chosen, and even the boot time has been set. ”
"When?"
"Early to mid-July."
This answer caught Cai Yinong a little off guard, not to mention that the script has not been completed in "Step by Step", and the actors have not yet been found.
knew that the progress was relatively slow, so I took advantage of the gap to arrange a costume drama.
Now I can't hurry up and work on "Step by Step", and the heroine of the internal decision has just started "Yizhimei".
"Mr. Cai, I found out that the heroine over there has set Yang Mi's ......"
As soon as the words fell, Cai Yinong's eyes widened instantly.
"Are you sure?"
"It should be true."
The assistant guessed Cai Yinong's mood at this time, and he must have been even more angry.
After a long time, I saw Cai Yinong sighing.
"Let the screenwriting team speed up, let the crew of "Yizhimei" also improve the shooting efficiency, and the casting thing should also be ...... quickly"
In Cai Yinong's eyes, this dumb loss, the Tang people are determined.
Obviously, it was his side that set up the project first, but others took the lead.
Nowadays, we can only minimize the distance in time and achieve better quality than the other party......
"Well, I'll let you know."
In the TV series, the Tang people have been deeply cultivated for many years.
Cai Yinong thinks that she is still very discerning, for example, the script with the theme of "Step by Step", she thinks it will definitely be popular.
There is a high probability that other scripts with similar themes will not be too bad.
"Not only invested in "Step by Step", but its actors also took on another one. Director Lin, you really have a vision......"
In the empty office, Cai Yinong muttered.
……
Liu Yifei's filming of the promotional film "Super Body" in Hollywood spread in the circle.
This is really the only one among young actresses, whether it is in the mainland or Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Some of the photos were the first to leak out.
"Looking forward to the release of "Super Body"."
"It's so sassy! Big heroine! ”
"Liu Yifei is so beautiful......"
……
On the day the crew of "Painted Skin 2" started filming, Lin Nan sent Liu Yifei and his party to the airport.
"Director Lin, you are the director of the movie, why don't you go to the crew? The media also wrote. ”
The producer of "Painted Skin 2", Lin Nan handed it over to Jiang Yanrou, and the shooting team was all from his own company.
Regarding Jiang Yurou's proposal, Lin Nan did not refuse, but had to go to the crew to take a look.
Commercial films, from the moment they start filming, must do publicity and exposure.
The next day, Lin Nan took people and rushed to the crew of "Painted Skin 2".
There are many media reporters who were stopped and blocked out by the staff.
The moment these people saw Lin Nan, they surrounded them.
After answering a lot of questions, I gave up.
"Director Lin, can you let us in?"
A reporter asked.
"Not now, when the second half of the film is filmed, you can consider opening up the media to visit the class."
Lin Nan refused with a smile, and then walked in.
The crew is filming.
Many people saw Lin Nan, but in order not to affect the shooting, they could only smile and not say hello, and the on-site radio equipment was on.
Take a closer look.
Good guy, I'm filming Huo Xin and Xiao Wei's bed scene.
Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun are also old partners, and there is no embarrassment at all.
Looking at it like this, Wu Ershan did adjust the shooting sequence.
After some grinding of ears and temples, the director shouted "click", and one passed.
I saw the two of them coming out of the brocade quilt, Huang Xiaoming was naked, and Zhou Xun was wearing a bandeau, which was not exposed.
"Director Lin, your director system is not qualified, you only came on the third day of start-up."
Zhou Xun took the coat handed by the assistant and complained while wearing it.
"You know I'm the producer, huh? I'm a producer, but I can't fish a day and dry my nets for half a month? ”
When everyone heard this, they instantly burst into laughter, they had never seen someone who said so bluntly that they were lazy.
At noon, Lin Nan had a meal with most of the main actors.
He saw the actor who played the role of Princess Jing when he was young.
Sitting with Zeng Li, he is particularly conspicuous among adults.
"Director Lin, don't look at her young age, she has already acted in two TV series and a movie."
Huang Xiaoming introduced.
Lin Nan nodded, the main actors were chosen by him, and the rest were all people who were good at looking for.
The little girl is still quite down-to-earth and generous.
"Hello Director Lin, my name is Guan Xiaotong, 13 years old this year, and I have acted in "Wuji", ......"
When the name "Wuji" was spoken, Lin Nan couldn't help but smile, and everyone on the side also smiled.
Although this is a bad movie, for newcomers, especially child stars, Chen Kaige's movie is a glamorous resume.
Lin Nan muttered the name, nodded, and didn't say anything more.
When the afternoon started, Lin Nan chatted with the actors waiting for the scene, anyway, he was only going to stay for one day and return to the capital early tomorrow morning.
After all, I also promised Miss Liu to pick up the airport.
In "Painted Skin 2", Zhu Yawen and Yang Mi played a couple, and there were a lot of rivalries.
Yang Mi's role was advanced, and Zhu Yawen's scene was relatively advanced.
"To be honest, I still have to thank her, otherwise my role would not have been advanced."
Zhu Yawen smiled a little obscenely.
Lin Nan knew the meaning of this product, Zhu Yawen seemed to have a girlfriend, probably thinking about finishing it early and going back early.
"I will ask Director Wu Ershan to leave you a scene and wait until the day of the final filming."
"Don't you don't do anything wrong!"
Zhu Yawen scolded and scolded, she was really afraid that Lin Nan would do this.
When filming the scenes of Zhu Yawen and Yang Mi, Huang Xiaoming came to the rest area with a smile.
"Director Lin, someone visited my class and introduced you to each other?"
Lin Nan nodded subconsciously.
In less than two minutes, the sect leader brought the person over.
Another good guy.
Fortunately, "Painted Skin 2" is not open to the media to visit the class, and there are many other crews nearby, otherwise Huang Xiaoming would definitely have to be forced to make it public.
"Hello Director Lin, my name is Yang Ying......"
Lin Nan should give Huang Xiaoming face, and chatted briefly.
It can be seen that Huang Xiaoming seems to really like this one, and he is trying to find a topic from beginning to end.
Ten minutes later, when the person left, Lin Nan looked at Huang Xiaoming with that smile on his face, and didn't know what to say.
"The filming of "Painted Skin 2" is also very busy, don't affect the normal work of the crew."
"Director Lin, what do you mean by that?"
The sect leader was a little confused for a while, and he didn't react to what Lin Nan meant, and when he reflected, he saw that the latter had already gone away.
There is a lot of news about the crew of "Painted Skin 2" in the media, thanks to Lin Nan's visit this time.
Early the next morning, Lin Nan left the crew with people and returned to Beijing.
…………
"Avatar" got off to a good start and stimulated the domestic film and television industry.
In the past few months, the domestic film and television information does not mean to make 3D movies, or to shoot 3D TV, anyway, three sentences are inseparable from 3D.
Even Teacher Six came out and said that the 3D TV series "Journey to the West and Wu Chengen" was being filmed......
Lin Nan sighed a little emotionally, this is really on the bar with Journey to the West.
On the other hand, the publicity of "People in Embarrassment" is proceeding in an orderly manner.
As Lin Nan thought before, Xu Zheng used 100% energy to do this, and there were a lot of reports on "People in Embarrassment" in the media.
Wanda, as an old friend, also said hello in advance.
Lin Nan Films' films, they will give some preferential treatment in the film schedule.
…………
Liu Yifei really counted the time to return to China, saying that three days would be three days, with no rest in between.
"How's the shot?"
"It went well." Miss Liu smiled and nodded.
"Your staff is really enthusiastic, and he followed the whole process during the shooting."
Liu Xiaoli was able to say this, which surprised Lin Nan.
He estimated that Tom was definitely a dog, more flattering than in front of himself.
Liu Yifei hesitated, frowned, and said: "Although the promotional film has been filmed, but I think about it in my heart, I am still a little worried, what if I lose?" ”
After all, it is a cost of 26 million US dollars, and Miss Liu knows the severity, and it is normal to worry.
Liu Xiaoli sat in the back seat, and when she heard this, her face became more serious.
Lin Nan glanced at Liu Yifei in the co-pilot, "Don't worry, I'll ask someone to help shout when the time comes." ”
"Who?"
"Leonardo, Matt Damon, and Nolan directing them, these are all connections."
After Lin Nan finished speaking, he saw that all the people in the car were relaxed.
"Especially Matt, I helped him get the best actor in Venice, can you help us promote "Super Body"?"
"Haha, yes."
On the Hollywood side, Lin Nan plans to do so, and you have to use favors when they should be used.
It's easier to do it on the domestic side.
The screenwriter is Lin Nan and the starring role is Liu Yifei, and if a press conference or premiere ceremony is held, no one will come to cheer for it......
So far, there have been no sci-fi action blockbusters or commercial films such as "Super Body" in China.
Lin Nan also pointed to using this movie to completely lay a solid foundation for Liu Yifei.
…………
I am a sinner, repent!
Today is still only 5,000 words, and I really don't have enough time lately......
