Chapter 337: Audition, Ready to Turn On
The old man of the golden rooster has come out with a moth again.
This year's entry criteria have been updated with new regulations.
Any film with an investment of less than 8 million yuan is not eligible to compete for a single award.
That is, they cannot participate in the evaluation of all individual awards such as best director, leading actor, supporting actor, screenwriter, etc.
In other words, the Best Picture Award in the main unit definitely doesn't have to be considered.
Because this kind of film can only go to the new, separately established "small-budget film unit" to compete for the only award within this unit: "small-budget best film award".
As soon as this new regulation was issued, it caused ridicule and condemnation from the entire film industry.
At film festivals around the world, this kind of joke is the first time I've seen it!
"Even the film festival is starting to hate the poor and love the rich......"
"This is too ironic, what should directors such as Lin Nan, Jia Zhangke, Wang Quanan, Wang Xiaoshuai, Gu Changwei and other big directors think?
Their award-winning works at the three major European film festivals are not even qualified to register for the main unit of the Golden Rooster Awards this year! ”
In the face of doubts from public opinion, the vice chairman of the association is quite able to quibble:
"The new rules are precisely to protect small-budget films.
In addition, "Introducing the Dust and Smoke", "Tuya's Marriage", "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" and so on are all good movies, but the national conditions are different and cannot be generalized,......"
As for how to determine whether the investment in a movie has reached 8 million, Jinji's answer is more "operational".
"It's really impossible to define it in detail, but the Golden Rooster Award is a professional award, and many experts can estimate the approximate cost after watching the film......
Although Lin Nan has long been dead set on domestic film festivals, he still feels a little disgusting when he sees this news.
All general and vague regulations and interpretations will most likely turn into favor transactions and interest exchanges in the end......
The approach of these people is indeed a bit naked, and it has caused resistance from many filmmakers.
Lin Nan heard that many directors and producers in the industry resolutely refused the invitation when the film met the requirements of the Golden Rooster Awards, and turned their heads to sign up for the Golden Horse.
For example, Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly", Gu Changwei's "Favorite", "The Piano of Steel", "Martial Arts", ......
Public opinion is boiling again, but the golden rooster is completely indifferent.
…………
Within half a month of its release, the box office of "Painted Skin 2" reached 550 million.
This data makes it the fourth film in the domestic box office list after "The Great Earthquake".
And as expected by the industry, there is still a lot of box office potential shown by this movie.
Xiying and Ningying are several producers, one is more excited than the other.
Han Sanping and others even decided to add a bonus to Wu Ershan after the movie was released, and Lin Nan had no objection to this.
The film market in July is already destined to be dominated by "Painted Skin 2", and other films have no power to fight back.
In view of this situation, the movies to be released in the second half of the year have begun to be promoted in advance, for fear that another movie similar to "Painted Skin 2" will be released.
"Huh?"
Lin Nan was in the office and saw the news on the Internet.
"Hongmen Banquet" was officially completed today, and a shutdown press conference was held in the capital.
"The epic masterpiece "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet", which invested 200 million, held a press conference in Beijing today."
"The filmmaker claims that the film has been confirmed to be set for November 29, and the first shot of the New Year file will be launched!"
"Yang Mi, who plays Yu Ji, is the only heroine in this film......"
"Feng Shaofeng and Yang Mi will once again play the ...... of the screen couple"
In the live video reported by the media, you can see a group of main creators with smiles on their faces.
"Not to mention anything else, the Lunar New Year is a big schedule, and we hope to have a good result, worthy of an investment of 200 million."
Although Li Rengang's speech was subtle, it was full of confidence.
In the end, the crew handed the microphone to Yang Mi, and everyone looked at her, and the latter understood what she meant.
"I hope that the box office of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" can surpass "Painted Skin 2"."
Yang Mi can say this on the spot, without being so arrogant and abrupt.
After all, she also participated in "Painted Skin 2", and this is a movie controlled by Lin Nan Films, she belongs to her own people.
The crew gave her the microphone for a very pure purpose, just hoping that she could take the popularity of "Painted Skin 2" with her.
Yang Mi's speech was really widely reported.
""Hongmen Banquet" will be benchmarked against "Painted Skin 2", and the box office target is directly aimed at 700 million, or even higher."
"The actors are full of confidence in "Hongmen Banquet", and the movie will definitely win the first place in the Chinese New Year!"
……
Lin Nan didn't care much about the hype over there.
No matter how loud the slogan is shouted when the movie is promoted. But what the reality is, it depends on whether the audience buys it after the release.
"I gave Zeng Jia a lot of autonomy. She proved to be a very good broker and very capable of doing business......"
This was a decision made by Yue Jun. Although Lin Nan felt that something was wrong, he did not object in the end.
Because no matter how you look at it, it's not a big deal.
…………
Liu Xiaoli took Liu Yifei and went back to visit relatives together.
The reporters are very powerful, and the photos of the two shopping have appeared on the Internet.
white top, floral long skirt, Liu Xiaoli with outstanding temperament, and ......
When Lin Nan saw the photo, he had a helpless smile on his face.
A single ponytail, a cap, and large burgundy sunglasses......
Liu Yifei's upper body is a gray T-shirt decorated with leopard print, and her lower body is ripped denim and high-heeled sandals.
The soil is not dirty, the ocean is not foreign, it all depends on one face to press the formation!
That's it, it looks so beautiful and amazing, so that many passers-by stop at a glance!
…………
"Director Lin, it will be completely completed in five days at most."
"Well, the filming crew is ready too."
After hanging up Guo Wan's phone, Lin Nan asked people to determine the itinerary of the next few actors.
Liu Dehao and Zhou Xun have announced recently, but fortunately, it will all end in these two days.
Reba and Lei Jiayin are their own people, but they are waiting for news of joining the group at any time.
"Star Fortune" will be released in August, and although it is a romantic literary film, it won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes.
And because it is directed by Lin Nan and starring him and Liu Yifei, many domestic films still choose to avoid this schedule.
Now there is only one Hong Kong film "Eavesdropping 2" left, which will compete with "Star Luck" in the same schedule.
This situation has led to the phenomenon of domestic films piling up in the next few months.
At this time, all the films that are being promoted are to be released in September and beyond.
Among them, "Painted Wall" and "The Legend of the White Snake" are the most competitive in publicity, the same commercial film type, the same mythological and magical theme, and the same day schedule, it is simply a needle to a wheat!
…………
"Painted Skin 2" broke through 600 million, 615 million, 629 million......
By now, all the production companies in the industry are red-eyed.
The box office of this movie exceeded 700 million, and there is no suspense anymore, and there is a high probability that it will surpass "Let the Bullets Fly".
Look at "Martial Arts" again, the daily box office has dropped by 1 million, and it is currently reported at 125 million. The final box office figure should stop at around 130 million.
"The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" has come to 350 million, and there is still half of the release time left! This postponement has made too many production companies feel aggrieved and helpless......
Airport.
Liu Dehao took his assistant and was squatted by the media.
"Is the boy here for some kind of activity this time?"
"It's not."
Liu Dehao's professionalism is very high, and Lin Nan didn't say anything, so he wouldn't say that he was here to prepare to join the group.
The reporters are also human spirits, and the press releases sent out are just speculation that "Space Passengers" is about to start. After all, there is no news from several producers.
It wasn't until the media squatted down to the weekly news of returning to Beijing and the newcomer Reba that they were confirmed.
"Director Lin Nan's new film, "Space Traveler" is about to start, and the three main actors have gathered in the capital ......"
"The newcomer Reba is a little nervous in front of the camera."
…………
Liu Yifei came back in the last two days.
"If you don't come back, I'm going to put your portrait on the stand when I take a group photo of the main creator at the boot site."
"Hmph, then you'll be dead then!"
Liu Yifei pretended to be fierce, glared at Lin Nan, and then handed over a big box.
"Well, a gift for you."
"What? It can't be hot dry noodles, right? I'm not used to eating ......."
In a murderous aura, Lin Nan closed his mouth and took it with a smile, he was just joking.
When I opened the box, it was a box full of strawberries!?
"Taste it. I went to the plantation in the morning to pick it myself, and then flew back......"
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan with a smile on her face and talked about her life in the past few days.
It seems that Miss Liu was asked a lot about Lin Nan......
…………
"It's a pity that "Hongmen Banquet" was completed a little late. didn't catch up with Director Lin's "Space Traveler". ”
Yang Mi said with a little regret.
"There's no way around it, but there are a lot of new drama appointments, and I look okay. Let's pick one. ”
Zeng Jia glanced at Yang Mi and said in a very good mood that his artist is now a stable first-line flower!
"Is there a conflict in time? Can you take them all? Yang Mi's first reaction was this.
"It shouldn't be much of a conflict, but there's good news, would you like to hear it?"
"What's the good news?" Yang Mi asked.
"I heard that Director Chen is choosing a supporting actress over there, do you want to try it out?"
Zeng Jia's words made Yang Mi suddenly refreshed.
"Director Chen? Which Director Chen? ”
"Haha, that's what you think, that's good news, right?"
"Uh-huh, that's good news."
Yang Mi was a little excited at this time, in her mind, she should have a chance better than many actresses.
"Then I'll go to the audition resume for you?"
"Well, as soon as possible, don't miss it!"
Yang Mi hurriedly said that no actor can refuse this kind of audition opportunity.
The filming team began to enter the China Film Digital Production Base one after another.
This movement can't be hidden from the circle and the media, after all, there are many other crews busy in the digital production base.
