Chapter 612: The Two Ends of the Scale
"Warner and Legendary Pictures' sci-fi blockbuster "Godzilla" hopes to be set for May 16, domestic time, in order to achieve the purpose of simultaneous global release."
"I guess the middle shadow should be given or not, right?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.
"That's right, I heard that China Film has moved it to June 13th. This schedule of not being in the village and not in the store before and after the village will not affect "The Breakup Master" and "Ip Man 3" at the end of the month. ”
Yue Jun nodded and continued to add: "In addition, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" was temporarily put on May 3rd.
This time also coincided with the end of the long holiday, and it also had no impact on "The Return" and "The Invisible Guest" half a month later. ”
Lin Nan heard that China Film was still trying to leave room for domestic films and their own people and strive for survival space.
No, two Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters in a row have been arranged to be unpopular.
But there is one problem that cannot be avoided after all.
That is, even if one or two imported blockbusters can be "arranged", can it still be "arranged" to get twenty or thirty?
The domestic films in the first half of the year are blessed, but the domestic films in the second half of the year have to repay their debts!
Lin Nan shook his head, not thinking about these things that should have been a headache for the leaders.
He looked at Yue Jun: "Reba's graduation is not over yet?" ”
"No, I heard her say that she is still rehearsing the show. The graduation process of the Department of Performing Arts is to perform on stage, either individually or in a team.
She should be able to graduate this month, though. Wait until the end of May or early June, and then go back to the school to collect your certificate and attend a graduation ceremony. ”
Hearing Yue Jun's answer, Lin Nan smiled speechlessly, he had forgotten the graduation process of the undergraduate program of the acting department, and there was not much difference between the three colleges.
"Well, I'll go back and inform her that I'll come back as soon as the graduation performance and defense are over."
"The thing about 'Running Man'?" Yue Jun reacted immediately.
"Yes, after all, when it comes to the artist's development plan, I still have to communicate with her."
"Okay, I'll call her myself in a moment."
…………
Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan's Weibo updated their photos at the same time.
One is wearing a casual trench coat with a ball head, and the other is dressed in ancient costumes with long hair.
The two of them face to face, pouting cutely, and their expressions are funny.
Coupled with the eternal scissor hands, it gives everyone a sense of beauty that lasts forever and the years are quiet.
Under Weibo, the praise of Yishui is constantly refreshing, after all, they are two national top beauties!
When Lin Nan saw Miss Liu's Weibo, she had already arrived at the screening area of the Capital International Film Festival.
There are a lot of movies that can't enter domestic theaters, and they can be seen at this film festival, and there are really a lot of good movies.
After Lin Nan replied to the word "stinky beauty" under the two people's Weibo, he walked to the screening hall of a South Korean movie - "Su Yuan".
Although this movie came out in October last year, it cannot be seen in the mainland. I heard that in South Korea, it is a national concern because it is based on real events.
When entering the screening hall, Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, there were not many people in this scene, but they all knew each other!
"Lin Nan, hurry up and sit down." Jia Zhangke invited.
Gu Changwei is also beckoning, and there is Wang Quanan on the side, all of whom are famous directors with realistic themes, in addition, they are professional actors and film critics in the circle.
"It's a coincidence." Lin Nan said and walked over with a smile.
"This movie is the favorite to win the Temple of Heaven Award, let's take a look.
South Korea does have a lot to learn when it comes to film. Gu Changwei explained with a smile.
After chatting with Jia Zhangke for a while, the movie officially began.
To be honest, this "Su Yuan" is really a very good movie, very profound and depressing.
But this kind of subject matter should not pass the trial in China at present.
"Have you ever thought about making realistic themes again? I remember that after you finished filming "Hidden in the Dust", you have never touched a Chinese film with this theme, right? ”
Jia Zhangke's voice interrupted Lin Nan's train of thought, not to mention, it was indeed like this.
Since "Hidden in the Dust", Lin Nan's Chinese-language films have been all commercial films except for "Star Luck", which is a literary romance film.
He nodded, "It should be involved in the future, as for whether I shoot it myself, I can't say at this time." ”
……
Happy Twist started as a small theater.
Although the company is small, the team is very professional, and almost all of them are actors, directors, and screenwriters from professional classes in front of and behind the scenes.
The team has outstanding ability, and the reputation of the stage play is also very good.
But a real problem is nakedly in front of us, that is, its own advantages, but also its shortcomings - the business is too simple.
In the past few years, except for Shen Teng, Ma Li and others who have been on the Spring Festival Gala a few times and are a little famous, the rest of them are really unknown.
You can only perform in theaters, or occasionally make guest appearances on TV or movies, and play supporting roles.
But even Shen Teng and Ma Li, two actors who have gained some fame through the Spring Festival Gala, their development is still hindered.
The two of them seem to have been completely labeled as sketch actors, and they can't be on the stage? Both of them are like that, let alone the rest!
Outside, the film and television industry has developed rapidly, and the salary has skyrocketed several times for five or six consecutive years.
The listing of film and television companies, the financing of financing, fame and fortune.
Happy Twist said that it was not envious, it was fake.
can develop towards the film and television industry, especially the film industry, and you must have confidence. This confidence refers to money, and more importantly, connections.
Because of the film industry, it's not just that you can get in, and it's also very difficult to mix well after entering.
"Director Lin, do you really say that?" Zhang Chen looked at Yan Fei and asked.
As the founder and owner of Twist, he has not thought of getting involved in the "glamorous" film industry.
But everyone knows that if you want to enter the film industry, you must have enough ability and capital to deal with risks.
Countless small companies in the film and television industry dream of becoming bigger and stronger, like Huayi, Bona, and Guangguang, but what is the result?
Often one or two movies lose money, or they are bullied, and they partner to make a game, knocking out the bone and sucking the marrow.
"That's right, I stayed with Director Lin in the screening room with Shen Teng for nearly an hour, and he made it very clear that if we want to make a movie, we can go to him. Lin Nan Pictures has a film and television investment business. ”
"Yes, that's what Director Lin said. I don't think the "Breakup Master" is very good, this can be invested, and what we make is definitely better than it. ”
Shen Teng responded on the side. He is a pillar, he thinks he still has good looks, if he makes a movie, he is the first thing to consider.
"Mr. Zhang, the big guys are waiting for you. Shen Teng went to play the supporting role in "Heart Flower Road", but he was envied for a while. ”
"Haha, you're welcome."
Zhang Chen frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Yan Fei and Shen Teng again:
"Investment is not so easy to take, the two ends of the scale are equal. On one end of the spectrum is investment, which includes money and connections, but what about the other end?
What is our cost? And what can you put on the scale? Just with the team and those dramas, I'm afraid it's not enough, right? ”
"But those comedy dramas are really suitable for turning into movies......"
Yan Fei and Shen Teng looked at each other, and after all, it was the former who replied.
"So, forget it?"
After a long time, Shen Teng interjected. Although I am very disappointed, what the boss said also makes sense, everything is equal, get and pay.
"Go contact Lin Nan Pictures, be official. If it can be successful, start with the most popular dramas. ”
Suddenly, Zhang Chen spoke.
"What?" Shen Teng reacted the fastest.
Yan Fei's eyes widened, and then he was extremely happy and excited, because there are only two directors in the company, just him and Peng Damo!
"When the opportunity comes, you have to seize it. Lin Nan's reputation in the industry has always been very good, and he is also the top boss, you can try to talk about it. ”
Zhang Chen said unhurriedly, this moment was actually a little relaxed,
"Okay, I'll go later."
…………
Lin Nan drove the car and made a special trip to the airport to pick up Liu Yifei.
"This time "Embroidered Spring Knife 2", it is estimated that it will have to be overspent again."
As soon as she got into the co-pilot, Miss Liu said to Lin Nan.
"If you overspend, you will overspend, and there are a few good movies that don't overspend. Have fun this trip? The internet is full of pictures of the two of you. ”
Lin Nan turned around and drove in the direction of home, quipping.
"Mmmm, the two of us walked through all the attractions that we used to film, and took hundreds of photos, all in our mobile phones."
Liu Yifei said with a smile.
"It's all a shoot?"
Lin Nan didn't know what was wrong, so he subconsciously asked this sentence, and as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.
Because Liu Yifei was wrinkling a beautiful little face, she "glared" at him: "What do you mean?" And you want to say that I don't know how to take pictures? ”
"Ahh Well, by the way, reminisce about the years when you were filming over there. ”
In the flash of light, Lin Nan found an excuse, but Liu Qianqian knew him too well.
"Next time I go out, I'll take you, you bring your camera."
Liu Yifei crossed her hands in front of her chest, pretending to be fierce, and didn't want to deal with Lin Nan.
"Haha, okay, for you, I'm willing to serve the dogs and horses......"
Lin Nan was making amends and admitting his mistakes, and the call came in, it was Yue Jun's.
He turned on Bluetooth," he said. ”
Miss Liu also watched it at this time and stopped acting.
"Director Lin, have you talked to people who are happy twist about investment?"
"Well, what's wrong?" Lin Nan had already guessed it in his heart, because it was found over there.
"I'm still picking up the moon culture at this time, and I just received a call from them, and I want to make an appointment with you, saying that you promised to invest in the film before."
"When we get to the office in the afternoon, we'll talk about it again, and we're driving now. By the way, how is the progress of the moon picking culture? ”
Hearing Lin Nan's question, Yue Jun suppressed his voice and said with some joy:
"It's a bit of a relief this time, and I think it should be okay to win it in a few months."
"Okay, it's up to you."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan breathed a long sigh of relief, the progress on both sides was very good, not bad!
"What kind of movie do you want to invest in?"
Liu Yifei flashed her watery eyes and asked Lin Nan curiously.
"I can't say in general terms what movies I invest in, I'm more optimistic about that team, happy twist."
Speaking of this name, Miss Liu has an impression.
Happy Twist often sends drama tickets to Lin Nan Pictures, and she and Shu Zhan have both gone to watch it several times, which is really funny.
"Then hurry back, after dinner, you're so busy."
Lin Nan nodded and sped up a little.
He wouldn't say that he would be beaten when he heard Liu Yifei's stomach growling just now.
Thinking of the happy twist, Lin Nan was still a little surprised, he didn't expect that the things he mentioned two days ago would be replied to so quickly.
"Investing in movies is a bit too simple......"

Chapter 2, it may be early in the morning.
