"Director Lin, the first round of broadcast rights of "Flower Thousand Bone" was exclusively bought by Mango Channel, with a total price of 192 million, and an average single episode is about 3.3 million."

Hearing this number on Yue Jun's phone, Lin Nan was still a little confused for a while, the price of a single episode of the TV series has risen so fast?

He remembers that in June, "Red Sorghum" was blessed by weekly news and the Nobel Prize, and the first round of single episodes was only 1.1 million! Of course, there is no comparison between the two.

But for a TV version of a TV series with 58 episodes, the price is really very high.

After a few seconds, Lin Nan reacted consciously!

It cannot be denied that the high price of nearly 200 million, in addition to the subject matter, is definitely blessed by the "one drama and two stars" policy, and it accounts for the majority.

What's more, Mango Channel still overbearingly bought the first round exclusively.

"It's good, it's good, it's higher than the box office of "Taiping Wheel (I)". Lin Nan couldn't help but quip.

Perhaps sensing Lin Nan's surprise at this price, Yue Jun explained again:

"During this period of time, the transaction price of the TV drama market has been rising as a whole, and it has been rising.

In particular, dramas produced by large companies and large teams or adapted from popular IPs have risen the most.

'One drama and two stars' is the main reason for the price increase, followed by the rising cost of actors' salaries.

Fan Bingbing's "The Legend of Wu Meiniang" was also exclusively bought by Mango Channel, with a total price of 268 million, but that drama was cut into as many as 96 episodes. ”

Lin Nan was silent, and this had already begun to go into a dead loop.

The stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, and even going to extinction. It's the same for both film and television companies and TV stations.

The big platform occupies the head resources, and the small platform will never have a chance.

The same is true for small companies, it is possible that if a TV series is smashed in the hand, the company will be gone.

Because the cost of a drama may be the net worth of the whole company!

Lin Nan himself is a vested interest, so he can only be alone: "Well, I know. Has Guo Wan started casting? ”

"In two days, I'm going to make an announcement.

By the way, everyone in the circle is talking about Director Lin's shortlisting for the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival, saying that this time you have to fight with Director Jiang Wen.

And Director Jiang has already spoken, saying that he will not show mercy to his subordinates. Hehe......"

"Then look forward to meeting him!" Lin Nanfeng said lightly.

He has already seen the domestic news, and the fact that "One Step Away" was shortlisted for the main competition unit in Berlin gave Jiang Wen greater confidence.

Although Director Jiang Da did not say explicitly in an interview: I can't understand my movie, it's the audience's problem;

But he said: I don't really care too much about the audience not understanding and not accepting this movie, and I can't ask every one of them to understand it.

This is Jiang Wen's statement, and it has been like this for so many years. And unlike Feng Xiaogang and others who just talk about it, he really ignores the audience!

…………

After two consecutive days of public relations cocktail parties, Lin Nan can obviously feel that he is more "valued" and "flattered" than last year.

Many European and American actors, although he doesn't know him, will come up and take the initiative to befriend him, and the intention is very obvious.

Originally, Lin Nan was still thinking about holding on for a few more days, and then planning a return time. But Li An suddenly called and wanted to make an appointment to meet him.

So Lin Nan had to be absent from the party of the movie "Enchanted Black Forest" and wait for the former at Crystal Pictures.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the big director came over on time with a female assistant, and Lin Nan also greeted him downstairs in the company.

"Director Lin, the last time we met was during the awards season last year."

Li An smiled and shook hands with Lin Nan.

"Hmm. At that time, I flew directly from Taiwan Province to Hollywood, and I still remember the Golden Horse award process vividly. ”

They are all old acquaintances, and Lin Nan has no scruples when he speaks.

"This year's matter of Gong Li is indeed a bit of a child's play, I saw her two days ago, and I'm still talking about it."

Li An knew what Lin Nan meant, and there were too many dissatisfied voices in the mainland.

Several people went all the way to the third floor, sitting in the office and drinking coffee, Li An explained the intention.

"Director Li is actually short of film investment?"

That's right, Lin Nan was shocked by Li An's behavior of asking him to pull investment!

Two-time Oscar for Best Director, two Golden Lion Trophies, two Golden Bear Trophies, and Golden Globe for Best Director...... Good box office appeal!

This kind of big director, there is a lack of investment? No one believes it!

Sure enough, the smile on Li An's face became embarrassed, and he hesitated to speak.

"I think there is something to break through this time, and in their opinion, it may be very unrealistic. But I think it can make the history of cinema and the history of filmmaking. ”

Well, Lin Nan finally knew why the other party would pull investment.

People who want to break the status quo of the industry must not be left out and isolated?

"Can I hear it?"

Lin Nan is a little interested in Li An's "breakthrough" and "creating film history".

"My new screenplay, based on the eponymous 'Billy Lynn's Halftime Fight,' deals with the Iraq War, but that's secondary.

I mainly wanted to shoot the film with a 120 frame 3D camera, but the actors would also be performing outside the traditional and most of their shots would be directed at the camera...... There are still some investment ...... missing."

Li Anxu chattered, and Lin Nan was already complaining in his heart:

"No wonder no one wants to invest, anyone who knows knows that these are two deep pits!"

120 frames 4K 3D footage? Don't think about whether a normal person's eyes can accept it?

On such a big screen, high-definition lenses and pictures will cause a sense of visual falsehood and unreality, and after a long time, the eyes will be uncomfortable!

What's more, the actor looks directly at the camera to perform, and under the 3D version and IMAX giant screen, the audience is not panicked? It's scary, creepy to think about.

"Director Li's movie, how much money is missing?" Lin Nan asked softly.

He thought that if it was not too close, he should be gone.

"Sony promised me $24 million, but that's half there."

Lin Nan silently picked up the coffee on the table and drank it, this favor should be forgotten.

Suddenly, something came to his mind, and he looked at Li An, who had an expectant expression.

"Director Li, this amount is indeed a bit large, and I can't afford it for a while.

But how about I give you a piece of advice? There is an eighty or ninety percent hope that the remaining $24 million investment gap can be solved at one time. ”

"What?"

Originally, when he heard Lin Nan's first words, Li An was subconsciously disappointed, he had heard too many rejections in the past few months, and he was used to it. But the second sentence made him instantly excited again.

"I said Director Li, the authorities are confused! Why do you always keep your eyes on the land of Hollywood? You're looking for me, too, because I happened to be here lately, right?

There are so many listed film and television companies in China, and how many of them want to participate in Hollywood movies, not to mention Hollywood movies directed by big directors! You say, huh? ”

When Lin Nan's words landed, he saw that Li An's eyes were already full of brilliance.

"Yes, yes, I should go back to my country and try it. The middle film, the upper shadow ......"

"Director Li, the procedures for state-owned enterprises to invest in foreign language films are more complicated, and they have to be reported to the bureau for review, not to mention that China Film just lost "Taiping Wheel" and voted for "The Great Wall"......

I suggest you go to Huayi, LeTV, and Bona to try these companies, which are both rich and trouble-free, and they absolutely do not interfere 100%. ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, he looked at Li An with a smile on his face. The other party seemed to be a little impatient at this time.

"Director Lin pointed me out a clear way, I am indeed a fan of the authorities. Thank you very much, Director Lin! ”

After chatting about the Oscar nomination for nearly half an hour, Li An left in a hurry, and it is estimated that he will return to China in the near future.

Lin Nan asked him to refill a cup of coffee for himself, and drank it leisurely:

"Tsk, there are so many wrongdoers in China, but I try my best to avoid letting Zhongying jump into the pit. Ladong, you have to thank me! ”

…………

Sometimes, the Marché du Film is just amazing.

Who would have thought that "One Step Away" would actually make "Taiping Wheel (I)" breathe back for a long time?

The box office of the former has become erratic and fluctuating under the huge controversy.

The daily box office on the second day fell directly from 97.8 million on the first day to 73.07 million, jumped to 103 million on the third day, and dropped sharply to about 78 million on the fourth day.

The latter still had a daily box office of 350,000 and 470,000 on the first and second days of the former's release, but from the third day, its daily revenue suddenly became 4.98 million, 5.54 million, and 4.84 million.

It's all because many people think that "Taiping Wheel (I)" is a little better than "One Step Away", at least they can understand it. This reason is simply impeccable!

The nomination ballot for the Oscar has been submitted in the past few days.

This means that the PR campaign for "Manchester by the Sea" is coming to an end.

After the nomination results are officially out, you can choose to continue public relations or fight again next year, or even give up, depending on the situation.

"I'll be back in two days, and we'll be back next month on the 8th or 9th for the Golden Globes. I can't wait here for more than half a month. You say yes, Sissi. ”

Lin Nan was lying on the bed, with her eyes closed and talking to Liu Yifei on the phone. It's so tiring.

"Uh-huh, I'll pick you up. Yesterday I went to see the finished film of "The Return of the Great Sage", and the picture is great. It will be sent to the Film Bureau for review today. ”

Liu Yifei's voice was full of excitement, she exercised the power of the boss lady once, in the absence of Lin Nan in the country.

"Producer Liu has worked hard."

"It's okay, hee-hee......"

Even if he was talking to me over the phone, he couldn't stop Lin Nan's sleepiness, after all, he had to be busy with socializing at the cocktail party every day.

In less than 20 minutes, Director Lin Da left Liu Yifei and fell asleep by himself.

"Lin Nan?"

"Lin Nan?"

……

After shouting a few times in a row, but there was no answer, Liu Yifei knew that Lin Nan must have fallen asleep tiredly.

"Hmph, when you come back, I won't toss you first, let you rest for a few days."

"Ahh Woo... I'll sleep again, I'm so sleepy. ”

……

It's late at night in Hollywood, it's just after noon in China.

An earth-shattering news broke the "tranquility" of the entire film and television industry and the entertainment industry, and caused an uproar on the whole network.

Everyone was shocked and shouted incredible.

The focus of public opinion, the headlines of major portals, and the hot search on Weibo...... In the shortest possible time, they all exploded.

The first domestic 1 billion box office movie more than two years ago was once again hotly discussed by countless people.

Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen, Shu Zhan, Luo Jin and even Reba's Weibo have been constantly swiped by actors, artists, netizens and fans inside and outside the circle!
