Chapter 273: Preparing for "Super Body", a sequel
"Lin Nan, you are off to a good start. Of the four movies, the first one is a good result. ”
Lin Nan was embarrassed to break Han Sanping, this sound sour.
"The volume is limited, no matter how good it is, how good can it be."
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Han Sanping instantly felt like he was choked.
"Hehe, if you are too modest, you will be hypocritical......"
It's a bit of a disaster, obviously you called to talk about it. Lin Nan was speechless in his heart.
Han Sanping's phone call was to congratulate, but it was pantothenic when he chatted.
However, there is still a festival, and it is not said that there will be such a project in the future to shout on the film.
The topic of "People in Embarrassment" is considered to have risen, and the box office on the second day is fixed at 9 million.
This is already among the best in a group of films.
Because although there are not many blockbusters in June, there are quite a few movies.
Cheng Long's Hollywood movie "Kung Fu Dream" is not suitable in China.
Xue Xiaolu's "Ocean Paradise", even with Li Lianjie, was still only a few hundred thousand on the first day.
"The Decisive Battle of Chama Town" and "Spy Sea" are all average at the box office, with three or five million in the first two days.
……
Among so many movies, only Disney's animated movie "Toy Story 3" looks okay, a little better than "People in Embarrassment".
Xu Zheng hasn't been interviewed by the media much in the past two days, he is a smart person, and he knows how to keep a low profile first.
If you want to release other new directors, I'm afraid it's already floating at this time.
"It's stressing me out right now!"
Lin Nan Pictures' second film "Embroidered Spring Knife" was released on August 1.
Lu Yang is very stressed at this moment.
No one expected that the five-million-cost "People in Embarrassment" would perform so well at the box office.
""Embroidered Spring Knife" and "People in Embarrassment" are not on the same track, so they can't be compared like this."
Lin Nan comforted.
Before, he thought that Xu Zheng could sprint to the 100 million yuan director club, but this will think about it, but it is not so easy.
The things behind "People in Embarrassment", Lin Nan is not ready to continue staring.
"Super Body" is still about ten days away, and he has to spend some energy on this matter.
…………
Liu Yifei began to get busy.
Her single poster has appeared in major theaters, and they are all in conspicuous positions.
On the Hollywood side, Lionsgate propaganda also began.
Lin Nan began to look for someone.
"Lin, it's still night over there, right?"
There was not only Leonardo's voice on the phone, but also the chuckles of many women on the side.
Someone asked softly: "Is it the Golden Lion director of Crystal Pictures?" ”
Xiao Lizi snorted.
Lin Nan was a little speechless, this guy was having a party in broad daylight?
"Leon, I need a little favor."
"What's the matter?"
"Crystal's "Super Body" is about to be released, and I hope you can help me promote it."
As soon as Lin Nan's voice fell, he agreed.
"Well, of course."
"I'll have Tom go to you and record a short video of a few minutes, right?"
Lin Nan said inch by inch.
"Haha, then you have to prepare a script for me later, or it's not weaker than "Hunting".
Matt, that guy, since he got the actor, has been showing off in front of me......"
This kind of requirement is very much in line with Leonardo's style.
"In that case, one movie promotion is not enough." Lin Nan joked.
"You can find me next time."
"Okay, I promised, pay attention to the ...... of the body"
Without waiting for Xiao Lizi to react, Lin Nan hung up the phone with a smile.
Matt Damon is better at talking.
Compared with Xiao Lizi, Matt is simply a good man, married and has children, and is not so prodigal.
After Lin Nan explained his intentions, the other party agreed without saying a word.
"Lin, if you need to attend an event, you can also find me, you can still spare half a day."
"Thank you, Matt, you don't have to go through the hassle."
"Yes, just remember me the next time you start a new movie, haha.
You don't know, when I put the trophy in front of Leon's eyes, his face, as if I robbed him of his girlfriend, haha......"
Lin Nan had nothing to say, these two people were simply amazing.
……
……
After making a few phone calls in a row and arranging things on the Hollywood side, Lin Nan was much more relieved.
Leave the rest to Tom and Lionsgate.
"Super Body" is Liu Yifei's one-man show, and the publicity before the premiere must be completed by herself.
Liu Xiaoli and her assistant accompanied Liu Yifei every day on the show, recorded interviews, or interviews on the portal.
The publicity has worked very well.
After running for a week, Miss Liu was also a little overwhelmed.
In the evening, when the two were chatting in the garden, they could actually fall asleep on Lin Nan's shoulder, so you can imagine how tired they were.
"Forget it, that's it. There's a premiere later. Lin Nan said softly.
"Hmm...... When acting...... Very attentive......"
Liu Yifei smashed her mouth and said in her dreams.
Lin Nan shook his head with a smile, picked her up by the waist, and walked into the villa.
Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter, who was already sleeping deeply, and was also a little distressed.
Lin Nan put the person in his arms on the bed lightly and said to Liu Xiaoli:
"Auntie, that's all for the publicity, let her rest for a few days, it's enough to have a premiere later."
"It doesn't affect the movie, does it?"
"No, it won't." Lin Nan said softly.
…………
"People in Embarrassment" is really a dark horse.
Although there are many competitors, the box office has been decreasing since the first two days.
But in the first week, it still got a total of 45.4 million box office.
This low-budget comedy amazed all the film companies in the circle.
It seems to be reminded of the original "Stone".
However, compared with the market at the time of "Stone", the external environment of "People in Embarrassment" is much worse, and there are too many opponents.
Lin Nan felt that the efforts to crack down on piracy were still insufficient.
He had already seen "People in Embarrassment" on the Internet, and he was speechless.
……
"Painted Skin 2" has been filming for a month.
In the case that Wu Ershan deliberately adjusted the scenes, among the main actors, Yang Mi and Zhu Yawen were the first to finish.
"The crew of "Painted Skin 2", Yang Mi, who plays the finch spirit, and Zhu Yawen, who plays the demon hunter, have finished leaving the group."
"Yang Mi has returned to Shanhai Media, and will enter the crew of "Palace Lock Heart Jade" in more than half a month, playing the heroine Luo Qingchuan."
…………
"Jiajia, I've never been so fulfilling, first "Embroidered Spring Knife" and then "Painted Skin 2", two movies in a row......"
Yang Mi said to Zeng Jia with emotion.
"Well, the company's "People in Embarrassment" has also exploded recently, and the decision to come to Shanhai Media was very wise."
Zeng Jia nodded, and remembered one thing again, "In a few days, "Super Body" will have its premiere, this is a real big heroine movie!" ”
When this sentence was spoken, Yang Mi, who was in a good mood just now, was instantly hit.
It was released in North America and China at the same time, and she can only envy this treatment.
…………
Lin Nan has already asked Yue Jun to draw up the list, the guest list for the premiere of "Super Body".
The scale of this premiere, he wants to make it big, and he must make sure to maximize the publicity effect.
……
As we enter the second half of June, there are no particularly prominent films at the box office in the film market.
"People in Embarrassment" looks like three or four million a day, and it is growing immobly, but it is very stable.
After the box office exceeded 50 million, Xu Zheng began to show up for interviews.
"I am very grateful to Director Lin Nan for giving me this opportunity to take the first step on the road of directing.
In the future, I will take care of both my identity as an actor and a director, and I will continue to walk......"
To put it mildly, although "People in Embarrassment" was successful, the circle will not think that this is Xu Zheng's credit, and the first person everyone thinks of is Lin Nan.
In the eyes of most people, more than six or seven percent of the credit for this movie can have its current achievements belongs to Lin Nan.
Xu Zheng has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and he understands this truth, it is impossible for a movie to be completely accepted by the industry.
may be in the eyes of many people, he was just lucky and was selected by Lin Nan......
……
In the company, Lin Nan met Xu Zheng and was a little surprised.
"How do you have time to come over today?"
"I have some ideas these days, and I want to talk to Director Lin." Xu Zheng smiled.
Lin Nan glanced at Xu Zheng with interest, but wanted to hear what he was going to say.
"Then let's talk about it."
Xu Zheng sat on the sofa and instantly cheered up.
"Director Lin, I went from getting the script of "People in Embarrassment", to the completion of filming, and then to the current release.
I think it could be made into a series and continue this unique style......"
Xu Zheng was there talking.
But Lin Nan's reaction at this time was:!
He knew that Xu Zheng was a talented person, and now it seems that he is indeed talented. It's a pity that the ambition is also very big, and this kind of person will not be recruited by others.
"Well, yes, you guessed it." Lin Nan nodded and said.
Seeing that Xu Zheng was quiet in an instant, he looked up at Lin Nan suddenly, his eyes flashing.
"What does Director Lin mean? Is there a series or sequel to be prepared? ”
Xu Zheng asked uncertainly.
"yes, it started with it." Lin Nan replied seriously.
"Director Lin, look, see if I can continue ......"
Lin Nan looked at the other party's impatient appearance and shook his head.
"I think you can digest the experience of "People in Embarrassment" first, and even I will take a break in the middle of a movie......"
……
……
Lin Nan fooled Xu Zheng away, and he promised to wait a year and a half, and a sequel would be opened.
The latter hoped that Lin Nan could continue to give him this opportunity, but Lin Nan did not explicitly refuse, nor did he agree immediately, only saying that there was a high probability that it would be him.
Xu Zheng was already very satisfied with this reply. In his opinion, he doesn't make trouble, and the original team must be the best choice.
Lin Nan sat alone in the office, a little emotional.
He really admires Xu Zheng, it seems that when filming "People in Embarrassment", the other party worked hard and hard, otherwise he would not have considered a sequel.
From the current point of view, Xu Zheng, a worker, can still continue to be used!
But to be honest, with the other party's extremely clear career plan, ambitions, and ambitions, the cooperation will not last.
