Chapter 445: Ye Ning's Invitation

"This should be the first time in domestic film history, right? After a movie got the dragon mark, it was censored again. ”

It turns out that going out and talking nonsense will indeed be "educated". Lou Dadao's "The Mystery of the Floating City" is like this.

The film, after getting permission to release it, is participating in the Venice Film Festival in recent days.

It is also the only Chinese-language film shortlisted for the official unit, "A Kind of Attention Module", and it is also the opening film.

Other directors will make at most a film that reflects the suffering of the people at the bottom of the country and the dark side of society, and take it out for exhibition.

This is good, if he has nothing to do, he will scold the film bureau outside and criticize the domestic censorship, so it is almost clear that he is oppressed and suppressed.

The result can be imagined, the people are still in Venice, and the producers in China have received a notice from the bureau that "The Mystery of the Floating City" needs to be reviewed again.

"He has all obtained the release permit, and seeing that it will be released on the 19th of next month, he may feel stable, right? It is indeed the first case in China to be censored at this time, and it is a record! ”

Lin Nan took the time to come out and get together with Ning Hao, Huang Bo and others, and chatted about several film festivals outside in the past two days.

Lu Chuan ran to Toronto with "The King's Feast" to hold the world premiere ceremony, and it seems that he can't be loaded in China.

The press release was also sent back more than a dozen times a day, just like a Chinese blockbuster shocking the world, very capable of pretending!

"Anyway, I don't think he can make any waves in this movie."

Lin Nan leaned back in his chair and said contemptuously.

"So you prepared "Thai Embarrassment" for him, and asked Xu Zheng to compete with a rookie director, no matter whether he wins or loses, Lu Chuan can't take advantage?"

Huang Bo took a sip of beer and said with a smile.

"You are also one of the leading actors, be tough, how can you lose?" Ning Hao glanced at Huang Bo and interjected.

Lin Nan also pointed at Huang Bo and shook his head with disdain.

"Modesty, I'm being modest!" The latter waved his hand and immediately defended.

"By the way, I have just received an invitation to be a guest of honor to host this year's Golden Horse Awards ceremony.

Director Lin, let's see you in Jinma when the time comes, and I look forward to you and Yifei winning the award. ”

Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, nodded with a smile, Huang Bo has been a frequent visitor to the Golden Horse for the past two years, "Okay, Cheng Ling Jiyan." ”

…………

Since "The Martian", Lin Nan has formed Tiangong Color, and Crystal Pictures is responsible for talent incubation.

In the past few years, Tiangong Color is also the most prestigious film and television special effects company in the circle, with continuous big business and small business.

To this day, another company has strongly announced its successful entry into the special effects industry.

The entire film and television industry was caught off guard by Pony's announcement.

Together with another Indian company, they bought Digital Domain, a special effects company that Hollywood had just filed for bankruptcy protection.

This special effects company, founded by Cameron and acquired by Michael Bay, was once one of the top special effects companies in the world.

Lin Nan had just returned to the company, and Yue Jun and Tiangong Color, the two managers, came over in a hurry.

In their opinion, Pony's special effects business will be the biggest competitor of Tiangong Color in the future.

"How much did they pay for it?" Lin Nanfeng asked lightly.

"Pony teamed up with an Indian company and spent $30.2 million to grab it from dozens of companies.

They have 70% of the shares and the other 30%. This is what Zhong Lifang said in an interview with the media today. ”

Hearing this amount, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.

"A few months ago, the market value of this company was as high as four or five hundred million dollars, you don't really think that someone else is bankrupt and only worth 30 million dollars, right? And it's the final price of the auction!

This is a special effects company, and the most valuable thing is people, equipment, technology, copyright and business, which will not depreciate. ”

Hearing this, Yue Jun instantly frowned, he really didn't react to these things.

He was blinded by the one-sided cheers and cheers in the circle.

Lin Nan looked at the computer webpage, Xiaoma's announcement and Zhong Lifang's speech, it was like a perfect leak.

The media reports in the circle are also extremely touted. A large number of people in the industry are all proud and honored.

"Xiaoma will become the second film and television company in China to have a large-scale special effects production business, competing with Tiangong Color."

Ms. Zhong Lifang, President of Pony Pictures, admitted that the company has obtained all of Digital Domain's core businesses, including:

Film, visual effects, commercial production, virtual portrait compositing, two special effects studios in California and Vancouver, and co-production rights for the sci-fi blockbuster Ender's Game ......"

……

Lin Nan glanced at Yue Jun, who was obviously sober, and said disdainfully:

"30.2 million US dollars, can you buy so many things, do you think it is possible? Hollywood's studios are all in the water? ”

"What does Director Lin mean that they bought an empty shell?"

Lin Nan hesitated, but nodded:

"According to the VAM agreement, there are only 15 months left before the deadline for Pony to go public. However, this move is a bit too sword-oriented.

Forget it, ignore them, ponies can't be a threat to us.

At this moment, they are just gamblers, and they have achieved the purpose of adding money by pledging all their assets and buying some other things......"

……

Lin Nan thought that Zhong Lifang had been wandering around recently, and had signed many well-known directors, screenwriters and studios.

even competed for Zhang Yimou's studio before, but failed, these are all chips and capital for them to go public.

……

In September, all domestic films started a propaganda war.

The first to take the stage and face a number of imported films was "Sad Fairy Tale" produced by Guangguang and starring Liu Shishi.

Tang people's Weibo, Tang artists' Weibo, are all about the promotion of this movie.

A large number of Tang fans on the Internet are clamoring, shouting, and advocating to go into the theater together to support this year's "Golden Eagle Goddess".

This movement is really a bit big. A number of film companies in the industry are waiting, is it another first-line actress who can bring the box office?

Seeing this situation on the Internet, Guangguang immediately expanded the publicity efforts again on the basis of the original publicity, looking forward to good results.

On the day of the film's release, from the morning, the film was well received on the Internet and in some media.

""Sad Fairy Tale" was released, and the audience was hooked!"

"Liu Shishi perfectly interprets the working life of urban white-collar workers and interprets the romantic love story ......"

……

The praise for the whole day made many insiders feel surprised and expectant.

Until the box office came out the next day...... Good guys, scare off the jaws of a bunch of people.

"The box office of "Sad Fairy Tale" received 2.2 million on the first day, and the box office results were extremely unsatisfactory."

"The attendance rate is low, the heroine's performance is rigid and sluggish, there are no bright spots, and a large number of bad reviews are deleted. "Sad Fairy Tale" is suspected of mercenary water army ......"

……

"It's ridiculous to me, yesterday it was still a good reception for the film, and today the box office slapped me in the face."

Lin Nan wanted to know what Wang Changtian's expression was at this time.

"Wang Dong, he won't use the water army, right?"

Liu Yifei stepped on the floor barefoot and walked in front of Lin Nan in two or three steps.

"Wang Dong shouldn't be, his face is worth more than this movie, but others may not, haha......"

The Tang people's specialty skills are estimated to offend Wang Changtian this time.

Because people who don't know the truth will only think that the light is brushing praise. This wave of operations has smeared the reputation of light.

The pull between actresses is reflected at this time.

Between the first line, those who have revenge will take revenge, those who have no revenge will step on it, and those on the second line are also dragged down.

"This should be the most watery first-line actress, with no box office appeal. What about the huge fan base? Are they all fake? ”

"The first starring movie hit the street like this. The popularity of "Step by Step Shocking" hasn't passed yet, and I just won the Golden Eagle Goddess! With such a high popularity, there is no box office conversion rate at all? ”

"The box office on the first day is so low, it is destined to be a box office poison, which movie crew will dare to use her in the future? Whoever uses it dies! ”

"It's really not good, just stay in the Tang Dynasty and act in TV series, don't get involved in the film industry, or leave it to other actresses......"

……

On the Internet, many fans of the actress attacked Liu Shishi in groups, mocking and ridiculing her.

The next day, the box office of "Sad Fairy Tale" was reported to be 2.1 million, accompanied by a large number of blowout bad reviews.

After two days of box office results, the final result can already be seen, and it is doomed to a blood loss.

How beautiful the previous "Four Famous Catches" is, how embarrassing the light is at this moment.

Tens of millions of film investments have been wasted.

……

"Mr. Cai, the light side informs that all the follow-up publicity plans have been cancelled, and the established programs ...... Shi Shi doesn't need to be on it. ”

Hearing this news, Cai Yinong chuckled in her heart, she knew very well what those big companies thought.

In the future, it is basically impossible for the light to give Liu Shishi a chance to be the heroine.

The film companies in the circle will also be very cautious when casting, and if they can not use Liu Shishi, they will not use it.

People who mix in this industry, especially film production companies, will be more or less superstitious, and the words "box office poison" on the Internet are too dazzling.

The key is that Cai Yinong never thought that the box office of "Sad Fairy Tale" could be so bad.

So much so that the "praise of the brush" has completely become an act of three hundred taels of silver here, and it has also disgusted the light.

"Got it, you go and tell Shi Shi and ask her not to make any response to this movie.

All media interviews are dismissed. This month, try to keep a low profile and wait for the movie to come out......"

This is Cai Yinong's way of dealing with it, be silent, and wait for the wind to pass.

When the time comes, use a water army to find a topic to hype, and if it doesn't work, find a first-line actress to step on it, Liu Shishi is still the first sister of the Tang people, a first-line actress.

"Okay, Mr. Cai."

……

Ye Ning's phone called, they planned to prepare a movie, and asked Lin Nan if he wanted to participate.

"Mr. Ye, let's talk about some project first. As soon as I came up, I asked if I would join the gang, I was very confused! ”

Lin Nan joked with a smile.

"Eh, can I still fool Director Lin? It's definitely a good project, the actor is big enough and willing to reduce his salary......"

Next, I listened to Ye Ning babble for half an hour.

The script is being perfected, the hero and heroine have been decided, and the relevant departments will also participate in the filming and publicity.

The more Lin Nan listened, the more familiar he felt, the relevant departments? Which department?

"The heroine can't be Tian Tian, right?"

Lin Nan subconsciously asked tentatively.

"Haha, Director Lin is wise, the heroine is Tian Tian."

Good guy, Lin Nan doesn't know what to say, it's another movie!
