Chapter 711: Rich Woman, Can You Support Me?
Lin Nan also did not expect that with the strong release and word-of-mouth of "Interstellar" in the domestic film market, Director Chen Da could also benefit?
Because there are many posts from filmmakers and industry insiders on the Internet:
"It's time to calm down and rewatch "Wu Ji". Director Chen Kaige's magic masterpiece of the year just lost in 'time', it is no worse than "Interstellar"! β
"If you taste it carefully, you will find that "Boundless" and today's "Interstellar" have many essential similarities. Under the cloak of magic and science fiction, it tells the most 'true' things of human nature, time, life, class, etc., and the fate of the 'human' race is to learn to face death and destruction. β
I remember that after a bad review, director Chen Kaige said weakly: "Wuji" is filmed for future audiences. But no one in the media or the audience at that time cared about this sentence, and everyone just cared about watching the joke of a master film director who once made "Farewell My Concubine......"
β¦β¦
To be honest, when Lin Nan saw these movie information, he was confused, and he couldn't help but feel the subtlety of language art.
Even Chen Hong stood up and spoke out for these posts and supported them. It seems that these words are indeed in the heart of Director Chen Da!
"A master film director? Well, it's just a little bit, as long as he makes another movie of the same level, even if it's a little inferior, then he will really become a master director, but it's a pity......
I'm a little skeptical that Director Chen bought a water army? Hehe......" Lin Nan said and laughed to himself, but this is unlikely.
Because Chen Kaige's biggest shortcoming, "self-esteem is very high", it is also his advantage, and that "pride" makes him disdain to hire a water army!
"If you think about it this way, it's these people who are rushing to make sycophants on their own?"
The more Lin Nan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. This circle is still so interesting.
didn't take a closer look at the group ridicule of netizens, because Jiang Qiaorou came in with people.
This time, the cooperation between Lin Nan Pictures and Noon Sunshine can be called fast, the two sides just reached an agreement the day before yesterday, and the contract was made today.
"Director Lin, it has been confirmed over there, and there is no objection to the content of the agreement. The script has been submitted for review, and casting is scheduled to begin at the end of this month or early next month. β
Looking at the contract just signed, Lin Nan nodded.
"Then prepare the funds. You have been staring at this project for a long time, and I originally wanted you to produce a new movie about Guo Wan. β
"It's all the same, the TV series is more relaxed." Jiang Yurou responded with a smile.
After Lin Nan handed over the signed list to the people in the finance department, Jiang Yurou and the two left the office together.
At ten o'clock, Lin Nan finally perfected the script of "Detective Chinatown". Thrown into the safe, he got up and prepared to leave the company.
I agreed to shoot promotional videos and posters at the school, and it was better to solve it in the morning, so I didn't have time to get busy.
By the way, let's reminisce about the food in the cafeteria, because Liu Yifei must have eaten out with Shu Zhan at noon, and will not go back.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Outside the capital airport, a convoy was quite conspicuous. attracted the attention of a large number of squatting reporters, and many passers-by also stopped or slowed down.
When a group of foreigners and domestic bodyguards took the lead in coming out to "alert", the entertainment reporters knew that there must be material again.
Sure enough, I saw familiar faces getting out of the car.
"Zhang Yimou, Matt Damon, Jing Tian, Liu Dehao, Willem Dafoe, Pedro Pascal, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Wang Junkai, ......"
"This is the crew of "The Great Wall"? There are also legends, Warner's top executives...... The people from China Film came to see off the plane. β
"Look like this, it's time to leave for Hollywood! It's awards season over there, so maybe you'll show your face when the time comes, right? β
"Not to mention, Director Zhang Yimou's male and female protagonists this time, Director Lin Nan have used them! There are also Liu Dehao and Zhang Hanyu. β
β¦β¦
A conscientious security team that keeps the media out of reach.
But the group of people did not ignore it coldly, but smiled and waved hello to the reporters, but did not answer the questions.
Matt Damon is the biggest name in a group of actors, Hollywood first-line and Venice actor.
Everyone knows that after this crew training, Matt Damon is very likely to go out often, because of Lin Nan's "Manchester by the Sea".
Although the shortlist of the three film awards has not been announced, the Berlin International Film Festival is destined to enter the main competition unit. The nominations for the Oscars and Golden Globes are not too much of a problem when you think about it!
"Matt, are you sending a message to Director Lin?" Liu Dehao accidentally saw Matt Damon's mobile phone interface.
"Well, tell him and Crystal, I'm back in Hollywood. But we'll meet again next month, and we'll be able to get together again. β
In the VIP lounge, Matt Damon's words attracted the attention of many people on the sidelines, especially the artists who were gilded in.
"He has to pass next month at the latest, the Golden Globe will be nominees, Berlin is too, and the Oscars have to be PR ......"
Zhang Yimou suddenly interjected, he had learned the accurate news a few days ago, before him, "The Great Wall" was the first to contact Lin Nan!
This made him feel a little emotional about Lin Nan's courage, being young is good, and he doesn't care about money. And he picked up something that he hadn't cared about in the past ten or twenty years!
Jing Tian on the side, a pair of big black eyes were watery, "Matt, I wish Ling's movie can win the award." β
Matt Damon was stunned and laughed, "Thank you, Jing... Quiet. β
In broken Chinese, he called out Jing Tian's name.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
used to fiddle with others on the set, and rarely was commanded by others.
Two big directors met unexpectedly at Nortel, and they both came for the same thing, which is very interesting.
"What's it called? This is called being poor in the downtown and no one asking, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains! Why didn't you call me before, but you remembered me this year? β
Ning Hao sat there with his hands in his sleeves, rolled his eyes and complained to Lin Nan, with a disdainful expression that was too inauthentic for school affairs.
Lin Nan nodded from time to time, but his eyes were looking at the entertainment information on his mobile phone.
On the second day of the release of "Interstellar", the influence was already very great. And Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan went out shopping, which was simply a live target.
At this time, Weibo is full of their whereabouts, and these two people are not shy about eating and drinking, from dessert houses to cafes, from pet shops to movie theaters...... Anyway, the photos taken are all beautiful!
"I said Ning Hao, do you have such a big grudge?" Old Jiang plucked at the camera.
"Of course there is. Hey, you can't do it at this angle, light it closer...... I'm a director from the photography department, listen to me......"
A promotional video, it was really filmed at more than 12 o'clock. During this period, Tian Xiangzhuang, Wang Jinsong and others also came to see it once.
When Lin Nan and Ning Hao were busy here, they heard Lao Jiang say that many well-known alumni were invited back this time, and Chen Kaige and Gu Changwei were all in the fifth generation.
"Is the school really going to 'half of the country'? Haha......"
In the afternoon, the entertainment headlines on the Internet kept changing, attracting the attention of many insiders.
"The crew of the Sino-US co-production blockbuster "The Great Wall" left for Hollywood today...... The main creative team appeared at the airport, and there were many security personnel! β
Chen Kaige directed the film "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain", completed post-production, and officially submitted it for review. Producer Chen Hong said that the film intends to land in the summer file. β
"Tang people held a high-profile press conference to make up the signing ceremony for actors Jin Chen, Han Dongjun, Hu Bingqing, Chen Yao and others......"
Following "Langya Bang", Noon Sunshine and Lin Nan Pictures jointly produced the second TV series project. The specifics are unknown and need to be further understood. β
β¦β¦
Although Noon Sunshine said that the casting would start at the end of the month or the beginning of next month, some of the established candidates were contacted in advance.
Don people.
Cai Yinong looked at the invitation handed by the secretary, and his face subconsciously showed a happy expression.
Even if she doesn't want to admit it, she has to face the fact that the Tang people "can't afford to raise" Hu Ge.
"Lao Hu said before that Producer Hou had a very good impression of him, and promised that he would have the opportunity to cooperate again, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. Moreover, it is still a drama co-produced with Lin Nan Pictures. Just reply to that side as he wants, no problem. β
"Okay, Mr. Cai."
Hu Ge's matter, Cai Yinong is not worried.
The focus of Tang Ren at the moment is the TV series with Sohu. This drama will be used to support the three newly signed artists of their own family, which is also a meeting gift for digging Jin Chen.
"It's going to start next month, let them prepare more, and strive to make a name for themselves at one time, the theme of this drama is very good!"
Cai Yinong is still very confident in his vision.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The box office on the first day was reported to be 110 million;
the single-day box office on the second and third days, earning 120 million in a row;
On the fourth day, the daily box office dropped to 100 million;
It wasn't until the fifth day that the daily harvest finally fell to eight figures, reporting about 92 million!
At this time, "Interstellar" has been released for 5 days, with a total box office of 542 million in the first weekend!
This figure makes the mainland film industry feel a little on pins and needles.
Especially in several movies such as "The Best Life of a Coquettish Woman" and "Taiping Wheel (I)" within the firepower coverage of "Interstellar", the pressure is huge!
Liu Yifei is really happy these days, happily "calling" Lin Nan every day, day and night!
"Are you going to go to this premiere?"
Miss Liu took the invitation letter of "The Best Life of a Coquettish Woman" and asked Lin Nan.
It stands to reason that Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming's movie should be given face, but this movie is produced by Huayi.
Lin Nan thought about it, but still refused. If you really go to the show, it is estimated that you can see any messy artists and scenes, it's terrible.
"Forget it, let's go to the theater and contribute two movie tickets to them."
"That's okay, Brother Xun also said that acting in this movie, she broke through the screen image. What a little woman, what a coquettish flattery, pretending to be pure ......," Liu Yifei said with a smile.
Lin Nan is also happy, this is the same as a "female brother" telling you that she can actually be very "motherly".
Suddenly, Lin Nan remembered another serious matter: "Sissi, are you going to Hollywood with me next month?" β
Hearing this question, Liu Yifei tilted her head and thought about it, and then smiled sweetly at Lin Nan:
"Why don't I go, you won't be able to stay there for a few days anyway, I'll wait for you to come back? Then I'll go with you in January and February.
You don't know, recently, my brands have come to inquire about my itinerary more and more frequently, all of them are directed at you, Director Lin Da, and want me to follow you through the Golden Globe, Berlin, and Oscars. Hee-hee......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On a new day, the entire film and television industry was shocked by the big news from Pony.
It is just right to use "self-inflicted, not alive" to describe the current high-level pony galloping.
At the beginning of the month, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law who had just successfully "usurped" the throne had only been the chairman and general manager for two weeks, and the huge company was about to face the situation of insolvency and bankruptcy liquidation.
Because Jianyin Culture officially filed a lawsuit and arbitration with the court, it required Pony Pentium to immediately perform the VAM agreement and repurchase shares at a premium.
And the scale of funds required to repurchase these shares is as high as 635 million, cash!
The industry knows very well that even if the entire Pony Galloping Group is sold, it is far from enough money, not even one-third!
Colleagues in the film and television industry know very well that the pony gallop is finished. Brother Big Dog's twenty years of hard work has come to an end.
At this moment, the big guy watched the pony gallop again.
It's no longer the giants, competitors and partners of the past, it's the fat on the chopping board, the kind that can be cut with a knife!
Lin Nan sat in the office, holding a video conference with Wang Changtian, Ye Ning and Wang Wei.
Everyone in the circle is sharpening their knives, and they can't be left behind, right?
A former film and television giant fell, but he could feed a group of people, and the reality was so cruel.
"Potatoes can contact ponies, we only need their TV series copyrights and movie copyrights, and bad movies and bad dramas don't want or buy them cheaply." Lin Nan opened his mouth and commanded.
"We don't touch the films that have been produced but not released, or the share of films they have participated in investing?" Wang Changtian wondered.
"That's right, "Taiping Wheel (I)" in December, as well as "Taiping Wheel (II)" that has not been finalized, and the youth film "The Year in a Hurry"...... In addition, Xiaoma also has the right of priority investment in many domestic and overseas film and television projects, all of which were left by Big Dog and Zhong Lifang. β
Ye Ning listed them one by one, looking quite tempted.
Wang Wei didn't speak, these things in the film and television industry should be decided by the three major shareholders, and he is only responsible for talking to Xiaoma about the buyout.
"No, it's not good to eat alone. For those movies that have not been released, we will not touch the priority investment rights of any film and television projects.
Of course, if Wanda and Light are interested, you can contact them privately. But my advice is to be cautious, it's too risky. β
What Lin Nan thought in his heart, he said it. These people in the circle are probably playing the idea of "Taiping Wheel"!
"Then listen to you."
"Okay."
Wang Changtian and Ye Ning nodded one after another.
"Then I'll have someone contact the ponies?" Wang Wei asked out loud.
"Well, as soon as possible."
Lin Nan had asked people to inquire about the number and information of the copyright of film and television works owned by Xiaoma before, it was really tempting, and there were a lot of high-quality products!
After ending the video conference, Lin Nan stretched.
The potatoes he asked him to buy were probably the least valuable things for ponies on the surface, but they were also the most valuable.
β¦β¦
The Golden Horse Awards have officially opened, and many mainland filmmakers have flown over.
Although this year is just a small year for movies, it is still in full swing, just because of the internationally famous Gong Li!
This "Gong Huang", who won the Venice actress at the age of 27, has participated in films that have won all the Golden Bears, Golden Lions, and Golden Palms, and countless other Best Actress awards.
It is not too much for her to enjoy this kind of treatment, and it can only be said that everyone expects it.
News from the Golden Horse side comes back to the mainland from time to time, but the mainland side is more concerned about the film market, because the Chinese New Year is about to kick off.
"Interstellar" got a box office of about 88 million on the sixth day, and more than 82 million on the seventh day, and it has been released for a week!
Various media outlets are scrambling to report on the box office results of the first week of "Interstellar", a figure that silences the film industry.
"Produced by Warner, directed by Nolan, starring Matthew McConaughey, Liu Yifei, Jessica Chastain and others, the sci-fi giant "Interstellar" with an investment of 150 million US dollars was released in China in the first week, with a total box office of 712 million!"
"According to industry analysis, "Interstellar" will have a great chance of breaking through 1 billion box office results in the mainland film market."
"So far, "Interstellar" has earned a total of $450 million at the global box office! The follow-up will continue to soar......"
"Liu Yifei served as the leading actress of S-level production for the first time, and the box office results were gratifying!"
β¦β¦
Endorsement of this kind of thing, the same category, must only be signed one.
Negotiate the renewal of the contract in advance, dig the new brand side, and choose a new high-end luxury ......
In the past two days, Red Star Dock has been really busy, because there are too many brand invitations handed over.
But Liu Yifei's route is not too much, and the number of endorsements on her body is strictly limited.
Therefore, the team can only do research tirelessly, comparing them one by one, to see whether it is suitable, whether it is suitable or not, and the advanced level...... The best of the best.
When Lin Nan came back, Liu Yifei was answering the phone, it was from Hongxingwu, it seemed to be a two-year contract of tens of millions of dollars!
"Rich woman, can you support me?"
"Be quiet, answer the phone. Well, there is rice bought by my mother in the kitchen, and I cook it myself when I am hungry. β
Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows at Lin Nan, with a proud little expression.
Lin Nan vaguely heard laughter coming from the other end of Miss Liu's mobile phone, obviously the female assistant couldn't hold back.
"Oh Huo, you are laughing at your boss's fiancΓ©, be careful that you will be deducted the year-end bonus tomorrow because your left foot or right foot enters the gate of Red Star Dock, haha......"
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei also laughed, and grabbed the bear pillow on the sofa and threw it over.
"How can you be so joking, haha......"
Lin Nan smiled and put the pillow back in his hand, and did not disturb Liu Yifei to answer the phone, but sat beside her.
Five minutes later, Miss Liu hung up the phone and turned her head to look at Lin Nan.
"Alright, it's finally done. However, the first half of next year will be busy, and there will be a lot of commercials to be filmed. β
After saying this, Liu Yifei leaned towards Lin Nan and pretended to be "fierce":
"Do you still want to eat soft rice? Hmph, don't even think about it! You first ask our dad if he agrees. β
Well, Lin Nan has nothing to say. Liu Yifei, "our father", refers to the one who has a daughter-in-law and forgets his son.
"Okay. I don't want this soft rice. β
Tightening the person in his arms, Lin Nan smiled.
"I'm joking with you, can't you hear me?"
Tilting her head, Liu Yifei puffed out her cheeks, and her delicate face gave people the feeling of being blown and broken.
"Of course I can hear that. But no matter how delicious the soft rice is, isn't it as delicious as you, right? β
"It's not going to be done again, hehe......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Following.
Inexplicably, the Internet is full of news that Hong Kong celebrities have come to Beijing, and they are all famous for a long time.
The mainland entertainment industry is still a little unclear, so, what's wrong?
It wasn't until the hot search on Weibo came out that the mainland film and television industry and the entertainment industry could be regarded as an afterthought.
No wonder the Xiang family is here!
used to be a generation of film and television tycoons on Hong Kong Island, but it's gone.
is still the same sentence, when it comes to dealing with the world, Xiang Weisheng is much better than his own brother, but it's a pity.
"Once one of the symbols of the Hong Kong circle, Yongsheng movies have long been a thing of the past. I didn't expect that even the most important of the founders was gone. β
Wang Changtian was quite emotional, after all, many well-known movies were produced by Yongsheng and produced by Xiang Weisheng.
"I said Wang Dong, why are you free to come to my company today?"
Lin Nan leaned back in his chair and looked at Wang Changtian opposite and asked.
The other party hesitated, but still spoke, "I'm going to say that I just came back from a pony and passed by you, what do you think?" β
At this moment, Lin Nan had a guess in his mind:
"You wouldn't have wanted to play that movie, would you? Wang Dong, don't die!
The advice I gave to Han Dong at the beginning was not to invest, but he didn't listen, you are in a hurry now...... Didn't work out, did it? β
Lin Nan was still a little worried, if this was really taken over by Wang Changtian, he would have to cry to death later.
"I'll tell you the truth, I hit this idea. But the sisters were dead and had a problem with their brains.
Han Dong said that he hoped that the two parts of "Taiping Wheel" could break 2 billion together, and they were really blocked!
Just pointed to the box office and global rights after the release of this movie, and turned it around. Oh yes, and that "The Year in a Hurry". β
"So, it takes a lot of effort to buy the copyright of potatoes?" Lin Nan reacted.
He is staring at "My Brother is Shunyu" and "I Am a Special Soldier...... These TV series and movies are very greedy, after all, they are the hard work of Pony for more than ten years!
"It should be about the same. Huayi, they also ate the closed door. Wang Changtian nodded.
"It's okay, it's not a few days, wait." Lin Nan said meaningfully.
"What's been a few days?"
"The Taiping Wheel (Part I)" is less than two weeks away from its release.
I never believed that Hong Kong Island directors could make epics, and even historical films could not be made well, and still make epics? β
Lin Nan was blunt, and his tone was quite contemptuous.
