Chapter 600 The journey to listing has officially begun
"Liu Yifei arrived at the capital airport this morning, and said that director Lin Nan will return to China after the movie "Manchester by the Sea" is completed.
"The Disney 3D animated movie "Frozen" starring Liu Yifei was officially released yesterday, with a total box office of 450 million."
"Directed by Lin Nan and produced by Liu Yifei, the main theme commercial film "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" won 140 million box office in the first week of March.
"The total box office of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" has reached 1.843 billion, only 157 million short, and the Chinese film market will enter the box office era of 2 billion yuan!"
……
A series of news reports from the media quickly made headlines in film and television entertainment information.
Especially when Liu Yifei was asked by media reporters to show the Oscar statuette in public outside the airport, she smiled extremely brightly, and joked:
"How do you know you're here?"
The reporters also didn't save face for Lin Nan at all: "Director Lin's trophies, it is estimated that he has only seen them in the days after receiving the award, haha......"
Liu Yifei, who had just returned home a few hours ago, received a call from the academy and asked her to take Lin Nan's trophy and certificate with her in her free time.
This was the first Oscar trophy in the mainland, and the day after the award ceremony, the school picked a time to make a transatlantic phone call.
Just like when Lin Nan won the first Silver Bear Award for Best Director, the academy wanted him to donate it, and it was more urgent than at that time.
But the final "negotiation" result was exactly the same as at the beginning, Lin Nan only gave photos!
……
Early in the morning, Lin Nan received a call from Yue Jun.
"Director Lin, the audition for "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" just ended yesterday. The company has arranged a schedule with Hengdian to start production in mid-April at the latest. ”
"Is there a problem with the crew of "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain"?"
Chen Hong said that Zhang Zhen's role will be completed at the end of this month at the latest. For us to use Zhang Zhen too, she is quite praised, haha......"
Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this joke.
"When Lu Yangzhen sets the schedule on the same day as "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain", I don't know if she still praises it?" Lin Nan laughed.
"However, if the road guide really does this, I'm afraid it's not okay?"
After Yue Jun laughed, he became worried.
"What's so bad? It's just a normal set competition, it's up to him to choose. If you really decide, respect his will. ”
Lin Nan looked indifferent anyway.
He is going to meet Zhang Yimou on the same schedule, Lu Yang goes to find Chen Kaige, it's just a little thing, it's not a big deal.
"Okay, now that the casting is over, let's file it."
"yes, okay."
……
In China, at 10 o'clock in the evening, a news from Hollywood once again exploded the entertainment industry.
Produced by Crystal Pictures and directed by Lin Nan, the foreign language film "Manchester by the Sea" officially announced the main creative lineup:
The main cast includes: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jessica Chastain, Matt Damon, ......"
This cast, whether in the eyes of the film and television industry, or in the eyes of the media and netizens, is a luxurious lineup.
The three core actors have all worked with Lin Nan, and they are all actors, actresses, and actresses!
Previously, everyone speculated that nine out of ten of this movie was a prize-winning film.
It's not nine out of nine now, this "Manchester by the Sea" is 100% a prize-winning film.
And there are only four places to go, either the three major in Europe, or it is still the Oscars, or even one of the three major film festivals in Europe plus Oscar!
At this time, most people in the domestic film industry felt that Lin Nan was a little too crazy, why was he in such a hurry?
…………
Everything is ready before the start of filming.
"I announce: Manchester by the Sea, officially launched!"
As Lin Nan shouted, the entire crew immediately took action.
After "action", Leonardo, who was made of decadent makeup, appeared in the camera.
Whether it is temperament or expression state, it gives people a sense of lifelessness, revealing a dead silence and twilight.
Especially the eyes, as if they have become numb to everything in life, the body is still alive, and the heart and soul have long since died.
Lin Nan could see that Leonardo was really open this time, a bit of a complete self-substitution.
In all shots, he can almost pass within three shots, and when he makes mistakes, most of them are also due to supporting roles.
……
Once the crew started, time passed very quickly like flowing water.
In the blink of an eye, a day is over.
Lin Nan returned home, and after a video call with Liu Yifei, who didn't wake up, he started the news.
The official website of the Film Bureau already has the filing information of "Embroidered Spring Knife 2", and Lin Nan Pictures' Weibo also announced the fixed angle list at the same time.
"Embroidered Spring Knife 2 Shura Battlefield", a costume martial arts movie.
Producer: Lin Nan Pictures;
Director: Lu Yang;
Producer: Liu Yifei;
Screenwriters: Lin Nan, Lu Yang;
Main actors: Zhang Zhen, Shu Zhan, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, Jin Shijie......"
A film filing information and a fixed angle list made the eyes of the film and television industry turn to Yang Mi.
Compared with the first "Embroidered Spring Knife", the investment in this second part can be tripled.
It really responds to the old saying: people go to tea and cool.
Obviously, the investment is greater and the production will be more sophisticated, and the heroine of "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" will be replaced by Shu Zhan.
If you change to another actress, the circle may still feel that it is out of grade, it is better to continue to use Yang Mi, but Shu Zhan is different.
Among the post-85 actresses, she made her debut as a child star, and her works are like an "old drama bone", and there are even more high-quality and popular TV series!
The most important thing is that she has the best supporting actress in the Golden Horse, she has both strength and relationship, how can Yang Mi compare?
The announcement of the cast list of "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" can be regarded as the kind that makes Yang Mi the object of discussion and ridicule by many people in the circle.
There are even competing companies or artists, and they also take advantage of this yin and yang weirdness, almost openly provocative and ridiculous.
"Mimi, we also want to set up our own marketing team. I can see that starting my own company, especially not being sloppy in this area.
With or without works, the publicity and marketing team must not be left behind. Even if we are attacked or hacked, we have the power to fight back......"
Zeng Jia said to Yang Mi with a dark face.
"Embroidered Spring Knife 2" just announced a list of actors, but as a result, Jiaxing's leading Hua Dan was hacked into a sieve.
"Well, listen to you."
Yang Mi also gritted her teeth and said, how could she not know who did it? Such a familiar routine!
Tangren's "Step by Step Horror" has set a premiere time, on April 22, and it came out together with the news of "Embroidered Spring Knife 2".
Then she was hacked by many press releases on the Internet, and compared with other post-85 actresses, she was trampled on!
"You have the ability, why don't you dare to step on Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan? Cai Yinong. ”
…………
The crew of "Manchester by the Sea" continued filming.
The most difficult shots are still placed in front.
When Leonardo saw Matt Damon's pale "remains", at this moment, his acting skills exploded.
The silent interpretation will awaken the deepest and biggest pain buried in the bottom of my heart again.
After many years of escape, another dear member left...... It's like his own mistakes back then, which made him lose his own children.
"Click!"
As Lin Nan's voice fell, Matt Damon sat up instantly.
That "makeup", suddenly sat up from the morgue, it was really like a corpse.
"Leon, you're really into the play! My character is not completely 'dead', and there are still a lot of scenes in the memories later. Hahaha......"
Sure enough, I saw Leonardo's decadent and lifeless state, his eyes were red and swollen, and he was choking with tears, although he was silent, his emotions were constantly infecting everyone.
This is the appearance of being sad to the extreme, but holding back.
It is the appearance that after the accumulation of endlessly suppressed emotions, I can't suppress the desire to vent, but I have long forgotten how to vent and can't vent.
The definition of the actor is like this, his psychology and spirit are like a patient with serious illnesses that have been accumulated for many years, like a sealed powder keg that will collapse at any time and will self-destruct.
Leonardo's interpretation is already wonderful.
"It's okay, I'll just rehearse what it will be like when you attend your funeral when you are gone in reality."
Leonardo wiped his tears with a tissue, and his mouth did not forget to continue to scold Matt, he was recovering from his emotions.
……
A day of filming is over again.
When Lin Nan dragged his tired body back to the villa, he was really tired.
But if he wants to finish the shoot within a month, or even finish it ahead of schedule, he has to do it.
Fortunately, several leading actors are willing to cooperate with him.
"Sissi, I'm so sleepy."
Picking up Liu Yifei's video call, Lin Nan said softly.
"Then I'll sing to put you to sleep?"
In the video, Liu Yifei is changing clothes, well, the video is late.
"Are you going out?"
"Yes, the school wants trophies and certificates, and I brought them over for a photo today. Don't worry, what I bring back will be brought back. Hmph, definitely don't eat sugar-coated cannonballs! ”
"What's yours, yours is all yours. Right? Haha......"
"Uh-huh."
It wasn't until Liu Yifei sat in the main driver that Lin Nan asked her to turn off the video, so she couldn't be distracted while driving.
Just when Lin Nan was about to go to bed early, another call came in.
When he saw the caller ID, he immediately cheered up.
Because it was Cao Guowei's call, don't think about it, it must be that serious matter.
"Dong Cao?"
"Director Lin, congratulations again on winning the Oscar. Is it still going well in Hollywood? ”
"It's going well, and I can return to China in almost April."
Hearing this time, Cao Guowei immediately laughed out loud, sounding very hearty.
"Good April, good April, haha......"
"Dong Cao, you better get down to business." Lin Nan also urged with a smile.
On the other end of the phone, Cao Guowei collected his emotions and said solemnly: "Director Lin, we are going to release a prospectus and start a roadshow......
Really!
Lin Nan chuckled in his heart, followed by joy.
The release of the prospectus and the start of the roadshow mean that the listing journey has officially begun.
And the final time to market is within one to two months!
"Okay, it's finally getting started. So what can I do? ”
Lin Nan endured the excitement in his heart and asked.
"Calling is to tell Director Lin about this, and the prospectus will disclose your shareholding ratio.
Also, if Director Lin is interested at that time, let's ring the bell together, haha......"
"Ring the bell?"
Lin Nan shook his head and said jokingly: "It's okay for me to shout and shout, ring the bell, it's better to be free." ”
…………
In this movie, I tried to reduce the plot as little as possible, all at once.
