No one expected that the first imported blockbuster "Iron Man 3" on May 1st would be attacked by mainland audiences and netizens.

Not because it was not made well, but because this movie is divided into two versions, an overseas international version and a domestic special version!

Domestic special version?

To put it nicely, it's a special offering, and to put it realistically, it's just to fool the ghosts, and treat the mainland audience as fools and wronged people!

Before the release, it was never said that there would be two versions.

The producer's publicity team in China has also mentioned Fan Bingbing's wonderful performance in "Iron Man 3" countless times.

At that time, public opinion was in full swing, and countless audiences and fans were aroused with an unwarranted "sense of honor" and honor.

is only because of Fan Bingbing, a first-line flower in the mainland, who starred in Hollywood's top sci-fi blockbuster and superhero series.

Looking at it now, it turns out that Fan Bingbing only has so many small shots, and they are all in the domestic special version!

Everyone sobered up in an instant, what a special version, this is naked humiliation.

Use your actors to harvest your box office, and with only a few shots, there is no shadow in the international version.

is different from the silent film and television industry, the audience and fans in the mainland are angry, and they all feel that they have been played with their feelings and insulted their IQ.

For a while, even Fan Bingbing was pushed to the forefront and became the target of public criticism.

…………

"Scolding is scolding, but the box office has only been affected slightly, after all, the influence is there, and the ticket price is expensive."

Lin Nan and Lu Yang chatted over tea in the company.

"Iron Man 3" occupies a large number of IMAX3D giant screens and ordinary 3D screens, and the ticket price is more than twice that of domestic films such as "One Man's Martial Arts".

Relying on high ticket prices, it stubbornly supported the gorgeous data of 110 million box office on the first day.

That is, after the first day, the matter of the special version was exposed.

Looking at the current domestic film market, the box office is still "To Youth".

"There have been a lot of media hype reports, saying that Zhao Ling will be the first female director in the Chinese film industry!"

Lu Yang added himself a cup of tea, as if he was saying something funny.

This name, Zhao Yanzi really didn't refuse, and floated.

""To Youth" cut 320 million in the first week, and she is indeed very likely to surpass Director Xue and surpass "Love Seattle".

This is a fact, and Lin Nan can't refute it.

"However, "One Man's Martial Arts" also got 255 million in the first week, and the chance of rushing over 500 million is not small, you can shout and shout again."

"No problem, Director Lin."

……

Nortel has been in the limelight recently, and the two domestic films that are leading the way outside are both films directed by their own students.

On the school's official website, there are brief messages of two movies from time to time, which are refreshed back and forth.

However, there is also a headache, that is, the notice I just received from Zhang Yimou's studio.

As one of the school's signboards, Director Zhang, auditioned for the second female lead in the new movie, and once again brushed off all Nortel students.

This means that Zhang Yimou's return work "Return" is still the same style as before, that is, the main actors do not use Nortel, which is very disturbing.

When Lin Nan went back, Liu Yifei was answering the phone.

"They all came to me to knock on the side, wanting to know what Ling's new film is, whether there are many roles, whether they will be cast publicly, and whether they have a chance to ......"

Miss Liu pouted, looking very tired, she coped with all these people.

"Good work, Producer Liu."

Lin Nan took Liu Yifei into his arms, very comfortable, it was good to have a virtuous helper.

After the script is completely refined, Lin Nan will consider the project establishment and casting, and it is not appropriate to announce it now.

"Let's go to Ning Hao's side in the evening, they have a treat, and by the way, take a look at his new movie."

"yes, okay."

Liu Yifei agreed sweetly, and rubbed Lin Nan with her cheek, like a lazy cat.

In the afternoon, Lin Nan stayed at home, recuperating and dealing with other things by the way.

Yinghuang's side.

Yang Shoucheng looked at the box office data of "One Man's Martial Arts", as well as those news reports, and was in a good mood.

This movie is already destined to make money.

"That guy was still looking for you lately?"

Looking at Huo Wenxi, Yang Shoucheng asked.

The former nodded and smiled speechlessly:

"It's quite persevering, how arrogant I was at the beginning, how low I am now."

Since the news of the restart of "Ip Man 3" was announced, Huo Wenxi has often been "harassed" by Donnie Yen and his agent.

"Together", which has a total box office of 820,000, directly put Donnie Yen into a quagmire and slumped, and its commercial value plummeted.

Therefore, "Ip Man 3" has become the only hope in his eyes, and Donnie Yen contacted Huo Wenxi like crazy, with a respectful and humble attitude, but it's a pity that ......

At this time, Yang Shoucheng's mobile phone rang.

"Lin Nan?"

Yang Shoucheng showed a hint of expectation on his face and answered the phone.

"Director Lin, I heard that you signed up for the Oscars a few days ago? When the time comes, he will be the first Oscar director in the mainland. ”

"Yang Dong laughed, haha......"

"Today's call?" Yang Shoucheng asked expectantly.

Listening to the other end of the phone, Lin Nan also stopped laughing.

""Ip Man 3" can be approved, and it will be officially announced tomorrow. Yang Dong sent someone over to talk about investment, and then set the angle, and the team still used the previous one. ”

Hearing this news, Yang Shoucheng couldn't hold back his excitement.

"Okay, no problem, I'll let Wenxi go over ......"

After ending the call, Yang Shoucheng laughed out loud and looked at Huo Wenxi.

"You will fly to the capital company tomorrow, no, in a while, and go to Director Lin tomorrow to fight for as many shares as possible."

"Okay, Yang Dong."

In Lin Nan's opinion, although Donnie Yen was replaced with Zhao Weizhuo, the audience may not be able to accept it for a while.

But as long as the quality of the movie is guaranteed, with the reputation and appeal of Lin Nan Films, this is not a problem.

The box office of "Ip Man 1" is 120 million, and "Ip Man 2" is only 260 million.

Lin Nan is confident that with the momentum of "One Man's Martial Arts", Zhao Weizhuo's "Ip Man 3" will definitely not be bad.

…………

In the evening, Miss Liu was in good spirits, driving her red Ferrari and driving Lin Nan to eat.

Under the appearance of a lady, there is a fiery heart, especially when driving.

"Sissi, it's a pity that you don't want to be a driver."

Lin Nan sat in the co-pilot and joked about Liu Yifei.

As soon as the green light in front jumped out, the familiar feeling of pushing back came.

"When you accompany me to go karting, you won't be able to catch up with me."

Liu Yifei pushed the burgundy sunglasses on the bridge of her delicate nose and said arrogantly.

"Yes, I'll try it with you someday."

"Hmph, I'm definitely going to let you eat ash ...... behind my ass"

Miss Liu smiled confidently.

There are many husband and wife files in the film and television industry, and Ning Hao and Xing Aina are one of the most typical representatives.

One is a director, and the other is a screenwriter, complementing each other.

The two of them often entertained in their own homes, and then called the chef of the hotel to come and take charge, and this time it was still the case.

"Yo, it's quite high-profile today?"

Seeing Liu Yifei and Lin Nan getting out of the car, Huang Bo made a joke.

"Why are you there?"

"What Director Lin said, I must have come to eat. In addition, isn't there a new script for this, by the way, hit the autumn wind. ”

Huang Bo is direct enough, and he thinks that he has already made up his mind.

A group of people met, and Lin Nan's signing for the Oscar was ridiculed again.

"When Director Lin wins the Oscar, let's set a table for him."

……

It didn't take long for a few people to move their chopsticks, and they had to talk about business later, so they would eat first.

Liu Yifei's shrimp peeling skills are very good, well, most of them went into Lin Nan's mouth.

Nearly an hour later, in Ning Hao's study.

Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and Huang Bo, each have a script, of course, the content is the same.

"This time the script is still a road theme and a comedy, and this is the first time we have tried to combine these two elements."

Xing Aina introduced on the side, "The script has been reviewed, and we named it "Heart Flower Road". ”

At this time, Lin Nan, who had just turned to the second page, paused for a moment in the movements of his hand, and then continued to read the script.

"For this casting, I'm going to use a combination of the old lineup and new faces, and it can't be those old fritters forever."

Ning Hao spoke, and pointed at Huang Bo with a smile.

Liu Yifei looked at the introductions of those characters, and she had such an expression that she had nothing to do with her.

Lin Nan read it seriously, and the script is really good.

"How's it going, Producer Lin?"

"Nominal producer, no problem, how much are you going to ask me to vote for?"

Hearing Lin Nan's answer, Ning Hao suddenly smiled and nodded, "I originally wanted Huang Bo to discount their salaries ......."

"I'll go, you just think about pit acquaintances all day long, and slam the door."

Huang Bo directly interrupted Ning Hao's words and complained.

Liu Yifei hugged Lin Nan's arm and was also amused.

Seeing that Ning Hao was not embarrassed at all, he waved his hand at Huang Bo:

"Let me finish. Since you are looking for Lin Nan to invest, I will definitely not fight your idea. ”

"The budget has been adjusted from 35 million to 50 million, you can support me half, the producer will not be paid, and you will not be short, haha......"

Lin Nan listened to Ning Hao's lion's tone, and he really thought about it, but he didn't refuse, and agreed with a smile:

"Okay, yes, I don't really work as a film producer for others. I'll take this script back with me, and I haven't even finished half of it. ”

"One meal, 25 million to eat. Tut-tut, Ning Dao is really dark! Huang Bo teased.

"You sighed, Yifei didn't speak." Xing Aina teased Huang Bo.

"Me? I listen to him. Liu Yifei giggled.

It wasn't until about nine o'clock in the evening that the few people left.

…………

At noon the next day, the entire film and television circle was attracted by two movies.

First, Bad Monkey officially announced the new film plan:

"Co-invested by Bad Monkey and Lin Nan Films, directed by Ning Hao, and supervised by Director Lin Nan, the movie "Heart Flower Road" was officially approved and the casting began......"

If the first piece of movie news touched the hearts of a large number of actors in the industry, then the second one made many people feel familiar.

"It's been 3 years since the second part was released. Lin Nan Pictures and Ying Huang decided to restart the "Ip Man" series. "Ip Man 3" was officially established, and the casting and preparation ...... from now on"

The actors in the circle have been a little unable to react during this time.

The big directors are all moving, and one by one they are either making new movies or preparing new movies.

Feng Xiaogang is filming "Private Custom"; Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" is being cast and set for location.

Zhang Yimou's "Return", wandering around major art academies and auditions;

Ning Hao's project "Heart Flower Road"; Lin Nan also revealed two days ago that he was preparing a new film; "Ip Man 3" reboot......

Now many actors are staring at Lin Nan and Ning Hao's new films, after all, there is no chance for the others.

……

Lin Nan successively answered the calls of Han Sanping, Wang Changtian and Ye Ning.

"Heart Flower Road" and "Ip Man 3" they can't get along, so they can only hope for Lin Nan's new movie.

Huo Wenxi was dressed in a professional suit, dressed as a proper workplace beauty, and sat opposite Lin Nan.

"According to the company's budget, it is a little more than the previous one, let's make a whole round, 100 million."

Hearing this number, Huo Wenxi didn't think it was much, but he was worried that he could get less.

"Director Lin, how much can Yinghuang get?"

When she came, Yang Shoucheng instructed her to get as many shares as possible.

But Huo Wenxi knows very well that she and Lin Nan are not equal in status, and the share is not something that can be won if you want to.

"We are still six or four points, this is my biggest concession, and I have cooperated with Yinghuang very well over the years."

Although Lin Nan's voice was very soft, he had an unquestionable tone.

After thinking for a while, Huo Wenxi nodded, "Except for replacing Donnie Yen with Zhao Weizhuo, the rest remains the same, and the new character Yinghuang will choose ......"

"My principles, Director Huo should know?"

"You know, don't have a crooked butt."

Half an hour later, Huo Wenxi left Lin Nan's office.

But as soon as she left the office door, she turned around and met another person.

"Director Jiang?"

"Director Huo, the other characters in "Ip Man 3" are Ying Huang Zaiting?"

"Yes, in order to keep the style unchanged, the director and the shooting team are all from the original team. Director Jiang: What is this? ”

Jiang Yurou glanced in the direction of Lin Nan's office, turned her head and smiled at Huo Wenxi again:

"There are not many actors in the circle who can play now, Zhang Jin is my old friend, Yinghuang can consider it."

Huo Wenxi reacted instantly, nodded and responded: "Of course, his skills are very good, it should be no problem."

Huo Wenxi was sent out of the Lin Nan Film Building, and after standing for a while, Jiang Yurou made a phone call and went out.

"Sister Jiang?"

"Go back and go find Huo Wenxi in Yinghuang. The second male lead in "Ip Man 3" is very suitable for you......"

"I, thank you, Sister Jiang, I will cherish this opportunity." On the other end of the phone, there was an excited voice.

Jiang Yurou hung up the phone and walked towards Lin Nan's office. For the first time for favoritism, it's better to confess to the boss.

…………

Hong Kong Island.

Donnie Yen was restless at this time. Whether it is the mainland or the Hong Kong circle, it has already spread.

Yinghuang and Lin Nan Pictures' "Ip Man 3" has been officially approved and prepared.

However, he had been waiting for a whole day, and there was really no one to contact him, no one.

As the minutes passed, he became more and more uneasy.

"Huo Wenxi is not on Hong Kong Island, she went to the mainland, it should be the capital."

The agent walked over and couldn't help but speak. "Ip Man 3" has finally been established, but ......

"Who else can they choose but me?"

Donnie Yen's tone was very low, as if he was biting out word by word.

"The box office of "One Man's Martial Arts" has exceeded 300 million."

The agent didn't want to say it, but he mentioned it anyway.

If you really want to replace Donnie Yen, then Zhao Weizhuo, who is now in the limelight, is definitely the first choice.

Sure enough, the agent's words made Donnie Yen realize this, and his breathing became a little heavy.

"Now, what to do? To the capital, or to Yinghuang? ”

The whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and he just looked at the agent, hoping for an answer.

"Yinghuang, forget it. Let's fly to the capital, and if we can't do it, we're really dead. As for how the media reports later, it has nothing to do with us......"

The agent said meaningfully.

Donnie Yen gritted his teeth, as if he had made a very difficult decision, and nodded heavily:

"Well, let's try one last time."

He knows very well that if this trip is not successful, the "Ip Man" series will really have nothing to do with him, and it will be difficult to return to the coffee position and height of a few years ago.
