Chapter 299: Refusing the invitation of "Hongmen Banquet", the film festival
Ning Hao was a lot more cautious this time, and he took the new script of "No Man's Land" to Lin Nan.
"Help me see, I've kept as much of the original plot as possible."
It should have remembered the experience of being reviewed again and again, and Ning Hao's tone was a little decadent.
"Okay, I'll see."
Lin Nan began to look through the newly made script.
How to say it, "No Man's Land" can no longer be regarded as a reshoot, to be precise, it should be a remake.
After all, more than half of the content in the script is different.
"Are the three of them okay?" Lin Nan raised his head and asked.
The value of Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Yu Nan and others has risen a lot.
"Well, I said it a long time ago, and there is no problem with the schedule and salary."
Ning Hao knew what Lin Nan was asking, and he still had this favor.
"Let's shoot it, although after the change, it's not as amazing as before, but it's still very exciting." Lin Nan gave an affirmative reply.
"With your words, I can go to Han Dong with confidence to ask for money, haha." A little smile appeared on Ning Hao's face this time.
For the projects invested by China Film, even if there is an accident in the middle of the project, when the remake needs funds, you still have to communicate with them first. Others don't want to meddle rashly.
In the afternoon, Lin Nan received a call from Ning Hao.
Han Sanping was very angry and directly approved 20 million, which was higher than the investment amount at the first time.
…………
There is a lot of news in the entertainment industry, and many of them are acquaintances.
In the first half of the year, "Steel 2" cut more than $600 million at the global box office.
At the same time, "Black Widow" was also officially launched and became quite popular.
Look at Ryan Reynolds again, it seems that he is still standing still, waiting for his chance......
I remember that Ryan also invited Lin Nan to his engagement wedding. It seemed like it was just yesterday.
But in a blink of an eye, the two said that they would leave, highlighting one neatly!
Lin Nan didn't take it seriously when he saw the news, isn't that the case in this circle?
He began to devote himself to the post-editing of "Star Fortune".
may be due to personal feelings, he always feels that there are not many things that need to be cut in this movie, and they are all good......
"Keep a copy of the full version out, I'm going to keep it for myself."
For Lin Nan's request, the editors can guess his intentions.
It should be kept and watched with Liu Yifei in the future, after all, this is a very beautiful and unforgettable memory.
"Director Lin rest assured, there is absolutely no problem."
For their boss's movie, the employees are in good spirits.
……
The high-profile "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" announced the main creative lineup to the outside world.
According to the original book, the actor chose a foreigner, Bell.
The most concerned thing in the industry is still Mou Girl.
Although it is "Thirteen Hairpins" this time, there is only one real Mou girl.
Ni Yi!
The new picture is unusual, and the makeup photos are also sent out in advance.
A large number of insiders are sighing, worthy of Zhang Yimou, the vision of this actress is still so tricky.
Lin Nan also paid attention to the company, to tell the truth, it's not bad!
It wasn't until he saw the production cost of "Thirteen Hairpins" that Lin Nan reacted to why the publicity had already started before the movie was started.
The production cost is 600 million! Or exclusive to the new picture!
This number has left all the production companies in the industry wide-eyed.
It is absolutely impossible to rely on the box office to recover the cost, and you can only rely on selling copyrights.
But the story background of "Thirteen Hairpins" is not the type that foreigners like......
Zeng Jia and Yang Mi also saw Ni Ni's makeup photos.
"Honestly, it looks like that......"
Zeng Jia also complained about the selection requirements of "Thirteen Hairpins" before, and when he saw the girl in the photo at this time, he had nothing to say.
It is indeed in line with the eight words of smoke and flattery, pure and desire!
"It's so lucky...... Yang Mi sighed and said.
is not a professional actor, and the first movie is Zhang Yimou's heroine, or a movie with an investment of 600 million.
In Yang Mi's opinion, the beginning of this newcomer should be the ceiling in the circle, and he can envy a group of people, including her.
Of course, among the post-80s actresses, Liu Yifei is still the strongest......
…………
Since "Super Body", Liu Yifei's film salary has risen to 12 million.
Although she is already the tallest batch of actresses, the more she is like this, the more she stares at her film projects.
Like the invitation I just received today.
"I heard them say that the main actors have not yet been decided, and the first thing that the heroine thought of was me, so I sent an invitation."
When Miss Liu said this, she was quite happy.
"What movie?"
""Hongmen Banquet", find me to play Yu Ji."
Lin Nan had just picked up the water cup and put it down again.
He looked at Liu Yifei and asked confirmatively, "The team on Hong Kong Island?" ”
"Well, it seems like yes. The directors and screenwriters are all over there. ”
Now Lin Nan was relieved, "Refuse." ”
"Huh? Why? You haven't even read the script. ”
Liu Yifei asked suspiciously. Although she would listen to Lin Nan, she still wanted to know the reason.
"Because people on Hong Kong Island will never be able to shoot historical themes.
Of course, don't talk nonsense when you go out, haha......"
Miss Liu nodded, and glanced at Lin Nan again, "I'm not stupid, so I won't have nothing to do." ”
"Then I'll let the people in the company turn them down?"
"Well, let's refuse."
Lin Nan remembered the previous entertainment news.
Originally, the investor wanted to find Lu Chuan to shoot "Hongmen Banquet", but that guy had a lot of trouble, so he was replaced.
Although he was kicked, Lu Chuan, who thought he was a little hard-working, was unwilling.
After spraying each other on the Internet with the investor for a few days, he turned around and went to Xingmera Investment, and continued to write the script of "The King's Feast" after finishing his work.
In Lin Nan's view, both movies are doomed to the end.
One is a historical film on Hong Kong Island, which is naturally flawed. The director of the other film is Lu Chuan, a guy who has no experience in commercial films at all and has a low eye.
"Hehe, if you don't lose money, you'll be hell!"
……
The last time I saw Xue Xiaolu was in early November. At that time, "Thirty-three Days" had not yet been released.
Now that I see Xue Xiaolu again, it's different.
"Director Xue, congratulations." Lin Nan quipped.
"It's still 'Sister Xue' that sounds comfortable.
These days, the word 'Xue Dao' has made my ears cocooned. ”
"People in Embarrassment", "Embroidered Spring Knife" and "Thirty-three Days", among the three movies, the latter has the highest profit.
Lin Nan can't favor one over the other. Bao Jingjing and Xue Xiaolu's red envelopes, Yue Jun is ready.
"Actually, you don't have to give that much.
I have to thank you for giving me this opportunity to make me a director of a 300 million box office club. ”
Lin Nan waved his hand, "It should be." If there are any projects in the future, you can continue to cooperate, right? ”
Hearing this, Xue Xiaolu was no longer polite.
"That's okay, if there is a lack of directors for movies in the future, feel free to find me.
In addition, if I have a suitable movie role here, I will definitely give priority to Yifei and Zhang Yi's ......"
……
The premiere of "The Orphan of Zhao" is today.
Chen Kaige's face, Lin Nan must give it.
I remember the first time I participated in the premiere of Director Chen's movie, when Lin Nan filmed "Time and Space Cruise".
It's just a "Wuji", and he was stunned throughout the whole process.
"Alright, let's go."
Liu Yifei, who cut her short hair to her ears, specially chose a casual outfit today to highlight her heroic beauty.
It only took more than half an hour to put on makeup, which was much faster.
"Let's go."
After the two got into the car, the driver set off towards his destination.
Although Lin Nan had been mentally prepared for a long time, when he arrived at the place, he was still very emotional, Chen Kaige was really good at playing.
The premiere of "Wu Ji" was very fancy, and this time it is still the same.
Hundreds of people in costume costumes stood on both sides of the red carpet and lined up neatly to greet the guests.
Liu Yifei also saw this kind of premiere for the first time, and she was very interested for a while.
"Let's go on the red carpet."
Lin Nan stretched out her hand, and Miss Liu took it.
As soon as the two stepped on the red carpet, they saw the "costume actors" on both sides make a unified welcoming posture.
This pomp and circumstance is really enough!
The protagonists at today's venue are Chen Kaige and Ren Zhonglun, a director and a producer.
Han Sanping didn't seem to come, probably in the crew of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party".
"Director Lin, Yifei."
"Lin Dao ......"
The first to greet him was Huang Xiaoming, followed by Fan Bingbing.
"Congratulations, you won the Tokyo Movie Queen."
"Thank you, Director Lin."
Fan Bingbing smiled and thanked. Among the international A-category film festivals, although the Tokyo Film Festival is not ranked high, it is still a good actress.
Lin Nan took Liu Yifei and walked to the most central position.
"Lin Nan, Yifei, welcome to the premiere of "Zhao's Orphan"."
Chen Kaige has a characteristic, that is, he always holds a posture and attaches great importance to etiquette.
"Director Chen is polite."
After greeting Chen Kaige and Ren Zhonglun, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sat in the first row.
It didn't take long for the premiere to officially begin.
There are more than a dozen directors and actors on stage, which looks so similar to the original "Wuji".
Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh.
When asked about box office expectations, Chen Kaige did not speak, but Chen Hong, the producer, spoke.
"The investment and publicity of our film is definitely over 100 million.
Director Chen put a lot of effort into this movie.
At the box office of the movie, we hope to guarantee a minimum of 500 million, the more the better......"
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, "When the premiere of "Star Luck" is held, the speech will also be handed over to you." ”
Miss Liu smiled sweetly, "No problem, don't underestimate me." ”
Starting from Ge Wei, one actor after another introduced his role in the movie and his feelings......
The feature film is coming.
Liu Yifei watched it very seriously, and she was quite interested in the non-commercial films of Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.
The first third is really good, the middle third is ordinary, and I won't talk about the back......
This is Lin Nan's movie-watching experience.
"Why do you feel the back, a little chaotic?"
Liu Yifei leaned next to Lin Nan's shoulder and whispered close to her ear.
"Sissi, your skills have increased." Lin Nan replied softly.
Hearing this, Miss Liu was stunned at first, and then sat upright, and the big director also made a mistake?
In Lin Nan's opinion, if you change to an ordinary director, this movie is actually qualified......
End of the film.
In a round of applause, Chen Kaige smiled happily. This is a great director who is obsessed with flowers and applause.
During the cocktail party, Liu Yifei joked with Huang Xiaoming and talked about the latter's girlfriend, which made the sect leader hesitate for a while, and finally bluntly said that he would introduce him another day.
After Lin Nan said hello to the two, he walked away. He saw an actor he was interested in.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao."
There was almost no one beside Zhao Weizhuo.
He was already going to sit on the side and eat something and go home when it was over.
Who knew that Lin Nan came over at this time, which caught him a little off guard for a while, "Director Lin, hello, I'm Zhao Weizhuo." ”
Many people in the distance saw this scene and had some conjectures in their hearts.
At the premiere, Lin Nan didn't say hello to strange actors, the last one was Wang Baoqiang, and there was "People in Embarrassment" later......
Many people saw Zhao Weizhuo handing a business card to Lin Nan with both hands.
"This is my contact information, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Director Lin in the future."
Zhao Weizhuo didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain today.
"There aren't many good action actors now, and I will contact Mr. Zhao next time I have the opportunity."
Lin Nan nodded and accepted the business card.
"Thank you, Director Lin."
……
When I returned to Liu Yifei's side, I heard Huang Xiaoming say with a smile:
"When I was in the crew, Brother Zhuo performed his skills, which was very shocking!"
……
The media is already reporting the news of "Zhao's Orphan".
The slogan of a guaranteed box office of 500 million has spread all over the circle.
In addition, the topic of Zhao Weizhuo and Lin Nan's friendship also appeared on the Internet......
"Do you have any plans to make a kung fu movie or an action movie?" Liu Yifei was a little curious.
"I haven't had this plan in a short time, but when I saw him, I asked for a contact information by the way, maybe I'll use it one day."
Liu Yifei thought that there was a new drama again, and Bai was happy.
Lin Nan didn't lie, the last time Lu Yang invited them to watch "Su Qier", he said that he would have the opportunity to find Zhao Weizhuo to film in the future.
……
"Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" did not finish its release period, and the box office stopped at 355 million.
It has become the biggest dark horse in the film market this year, unless there is a film with a higher yield in December, which is highly unlikely.
Lin Nan continued to stare at the later stage of "Star Fortune".
Liu Yifei also came to Tiangong Color from time to time to take a look, and by the way, she bought a lot of fruits and distributed them to everyone to buy people's hearts......
"Director Lin, someone came to the company and wanted to see you."
"Who?"
"He said that he was in charge of the selection of films in Asia at the Berlin Film Festival."
Hearing this, Lin Nan patted his forehead with one hand, and he forgot about it.
In the conference room on the 3rd floor, Lin Nan saw a foreigner.
In the past, his films were signed up by himself, and this was the first time he had contacted the selection committee.
"Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you.
I heard that you made a literary film called "The Fault in the Stars"? ”
……
Berlin has a different meaning for Lin Nan.
His first Best Director trophy came from Berlin.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is a descendant of the Berlin Film Festival.
……
"Yes, 'The Fault in the Stars' Fortune is in post-production."
Lin Nan has nothing to hide, he knows the other party's intentions very well.
"Lin, you are an internationally renowned director who has won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director twice.
On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to extend an invitation to you to come to Berlin......"
……
……
Lin Nan didn't agree on the spot, he promised to give an answer when the post-production was completed.
After all, the Berlinale doesn't open until February next year, and there is still a long time before the deadline for early January.
"Berlin?"
"Cannes?"
"Venice...... Forget it. ”
There is only one chapter today, and this one is written with a hard hand.
Because the author is yang, the second yang, the symptoms are almost the same as the first time......
(End of chapter)
