Chapter 803: Digging the Foot of the Wall
Wu Yan's big mouth and unobstructed mouth have made the mistake again.
In the morning, the film festival officially opened at the same time, and it was also the opening time of the resident unit, the first "Jackie Chan Action Film Week".
The resident unit module of the Magic Capital International Film Festival named after "Cheng Long" was unveiled by the eldest brother himself.
Therefore, a large number of domestic and international action actors and stars all went to the stage.
In addition, there are also film festival officials, hundreds of first- and second-tier actors in the circle, and nearly 100 mainstream media as guests to witness.
It was in this situation that Wu Yan openly and ruthlessly "belittled" a domestic youth film on the spot.
His words can be described as quite sharp and harsh.
What "impotence", "deformity", "psychotropic drugs", "good students fall in love, go to bed, have abortions all day long? "If you are a good student, you have long been taught bad by these movies"......
When Lin Nan rushed over, the scene was really lively.
Wu Yan was surrounded by reporters and kept asking him if he was naming Zhao Zhang, Zhang Yibai, and He Zhen?
Obviously, the "wolf warrior" also realized that he had said the wrong thing again, so he had to remain silent and say no more. Fortunately, Cheng Long helped to break the siege and attracted firepower.
"He was originally saying that male actors should play some masculine and masculine scenes and roles;
But who knows what, as he spoke, he ran to the 'sissy' and youth films as soon as the conversation changed? also said that youth films are now in charge, and nine and a half of the ten films are going to bed and having abortions......
is a self-deprecating action movie, and the living space is getting smaller and smaller...... The domestic film industry is preparing to use youth films to fight against Hollywood! ”
Listening to the whole process retold by Lu Yang, Lin Nan was also a little speechless.
Obviously, the masculine movie that Wu Yan said should be referring to "Slaying the Wolf 2"!
He was not wrong, it is indeed a flood of youth films now; As long as it is filmed, it can basically make money. ”
In the end, Lin Nan still nodded, affirming what Wu Yan said.
However, the occasion chosen by the latter to speak was too inappropriate and already dominated by the crowd.
"Director Lin, why didn't you see Yifei?"
Cheng Long, who got rid of the media reporters, greeted him with a smile from a distance and walked over.
"She and Shu Zhan went to the movies, aren't many films premiering today."
When Lin Nan said this, his mind came to mind the lazy sleeping posture of Miss Liu when he went out, he should also get up at this time, right?
"That's pretty pleasant." Cheng Long walked up to him, smiled and hugged Lin Nan:
"Find a place to talk later? I've got to learn from you, about the main theme of the movie. To be precise, it is the main theme of the commercial film! ”
"Huh? Why did the eldest brother remember to ask this? Lin Nan asked very puzzled for a while.
I saw that Cheng Long didn't explain, but shook his head slightly, "Let's talk about it for a while?" ”
"Okay."
Lin Nan also saw that something was wrong, and immediately responded.
stayed here for half an hour at the "Jackie Chan Action Movie Week", and in addition to communicating, Lin Nan also received several phone calls:
Liu Dehao flew over from the crew of "The Great Wall" and invited him to attend the premiere ceremony on behalf of the crew of "Rescue Mr. Wu"; The field-like field must be praised, "The Woman of the Dynasty: Yang Guifei......
…………
At half past 10 in the morning, Lin Nan took his assistant and Cheng Long and his party to sit together in a café not far from the main area of the film festival.
The accompanying assistants sat in the hall, while Lin Nan and Cheng Long were in the private room.
"Big brother wants to know about the production experience of the main theme commercial film?"
"yes. knows that your "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" has successfully opened up the track of the main theme commercial film, and it is the most direct and effective way to learn from you. ”
Cheng Long picked up the coffee cup and nodded with a smile.
To be honest, although Cheng Long said so in his mouth, Lin Nan was still a little suspicious in his heart. This kind of trivial matter doesn't need to be so formal, right?
But since the other party opened his mouth to ask for advice, he also knew everything:
"The main theme: a commercial film is still a commercial film in the final analysis, it must have a distinct entertainment, so the script is very important and the story is very important; But because it is the main theme, it must also be guaranteed to have seriousness.
In the final analysis, it is necessary to balance and take into account the values of the main theme and the entertainment of commercial films, not too preachy, nor entertaining and vulgar......"
While Lin Nan was speaking, he also paid attention to Cheng Long's expression, he listened very carefully, and seemed to be a little entangled?
"Big brother, why are you suddenly interested in commercial films with the main theme?"
After a long time, Lin Nan put down the coffee cup and asked again.
"The main theme...... It's better than the trial. ”
Cheng Long's voice is not loud, and his speech speed is slow.
"Big brother wants to shoot the main theme?" Lin Nan didn't think much about it, and subconsciously asked.
Cheng Long smiled and didn't answer immediately, and the atmosphere in the private room fell silent all of a sudden.
At this time, Lin Nan already had a bad premonition in his heart.
"I have two film plans for the second half of the year, and they should be ...... at the same time," Cheng Long said in a chatter.
"One is the Sino-Indian co-production of "Kung Fu Yoga", which is a bit of a shadow of "Myth"; The other is a commercial film with the main theme, and the script is currently being prepared, but the theme has already been set and is jointly produced by our company and Shangying, so I asked you for experience. ”
Cheng Long looked at Lin Nan, who was drinking coffee "seriously", and also raised his glass.
Director Lin Da's heart is a little upside down at this time, so he shouldn't have agreed to Chenglong to come out for coffee.
But he still couldn't help it, and asked confirmatively: "What story?" ”
"Roughly tells the story of a railway flying tiger team composed of railway workers and ordinary people, anti-Japanese. Well, the name is "Railway Flying Tiger"! ”
Lin Nan was completely silent and did not say anything more. He remembered the previous time, when Cheng Long and Ren Zhonglun invited him to dinner.
"It's very tiring to open two movies at the same time, speaking of which, my eldest brother is more diligent than me!" Lin Nan diverted the topic.
"If they could, who would want to make two films at the same time? I am 61 years old this year. ”
Cheng Long's tone was full of tiredness, Lin Nan didn't answer, and continued to say something else.
Ten minutes later, he looked at his watch, and then spoke:
"It's almost 11 o'clock, if the eldest brother has nothing else to do, then I'll go back? Otherwise, Yifei would have called to find it. ”
There wasn't much left in the second cup of coffee, and Lin Nan drank it in one gulp, and he looked at Cheng Long with a smile.
"You are young and good, and you can't do without ...... I didn't have this heart back then, I didn't take my family seriously, and now I regret it to death......"
A few minutes later, a group of six people waved apart at the film festival area.
Looking at the back of Cheng Long walking away with his assistant, Lin Nan frowned.
When was Cheng Long's movie censored? And this time it's a joint production of Shangying!
"The main theme...... Better than the trial?
Main theme commercial film...... The main theme is for the above, and the commercial film is for the audience and the market! Grab it with both hands? It's really hard to kiss my son! Tsk tsk. ”
…………
In just two hours, there was one more "high-profile" news in the relevant information of the film festival:
Director Wu Yan angrily criticized domestic youth films for "impotence" and "drugs" ......
Following the last "EXO incident", Wu Yan's Weibo was crowded again; A large number of netizens and fans swiped the screen and quarreled, and the scolding was still far louder than the support.
At the same time, the "Big Data Forum" hosted by Alibaba Pictures has once again become the focus of the industry.
It's just that in Lin Nan's view, Ali's slogan this time is more "arrogant" than when he first put forward the theory of "big data" during the Modu International Film Festival last year.
Because their theme this time is directly: big data boosts the positioning of domestic films and beats Hollywood - not a dream!
And there are dozens of big names in the circle: Zhao Yanzi, Zhou Xingchi, Feng Xiaogang, Xu Ke, Xu Zheng, Guo Jingming...... The momentum is directly full!
……
Miss Liu didn't get up late today, and got up shortly after Lin Nan left the hotel. After that, she came to the screening area with Shu Zhan.
"Tsk, I just saw Director Chen Kaige taking Chen Hong to be interviewed there, and the reporter didn't dare to say anything bad about that momentum."
As soon as they met, Shu Zhan couldn't help but complain. Liu Yifei was speechless on the side, and glanced at her best friend: "You be quiet, there are so many people around." ”
Lin Nan could already think of the scene in Shu Zhan's mouth, and made a joke: "Let Qianqian take you to find Liu Yan in the afternoon and listen to Liu Yan's personal experience." ”
"You joked about this again, she has always had a psychological shadow.
By the way, just now Wu Yan said that you followed Brother Chenglong, where did you go? ”
Facing Liu Yifei's inquiry, Lin Nan smiled helplessly:
"Invite me to coffee, and by the way, ask about the main theme of the commercial film, I knew that I wouldn't go. Let's go, go to the foreign language film exhibition area, and talk as you go......"
……
The Magic City International Film Festival is a big stage, bringing together more than eighty percent of filmmakers, companies, and stars in the domestic film and television industry.
And so many people get together, the topics of concern and discussion, of course, are indispensable for the current "big bull market"!
"Huayi is currently the listed company with the highest market value in the domestic film and television industry, and its business spans film and television production, film distribution, cinema lines, cultural tourism towns, real estate, finance, Internet, games, and financial ......
Compared with the size of the group, we do not have many senior managers, and they do not come forward; In particular, there is no ...... among the top and capable executives recognized in the industry."
Wang Zhongjun's words sounded in the living room, as if with a bewitching sound.
"The shares of the group, the identity of the shareholders of the board of directors, the position of the vice president of the group, the position of me as the general manager of the group, the president of the core company under it, the complete and independent ...... of power"
Following Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei added again that all the chips were put on the surface.
There were only three people in the living room, except for Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, the remaining one was Ye Ning.
"Mr. Ye, how are you thinking about it? It's been two months since we first 'met'. ”
Ye Ning, who was sitting on the sofa, frowned, he was really entangled!
"I've been in Wanda for more than a decade, and I need more time to think about it...... Consider. ”
Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei glanced at each other, the former nodded, and the latter spoke:
"Yes, Mr. Ye just think about it. Huayi's chips will not change, and the door is open for you at any time. I'm sure we'll work together.
After all, Mr. Ye has no way to advance in Wanda. That person can give you dividends, but you can't give much shares, and there are a lot of competitors, right? ”
"Well, thank you."
Ye Ning only said four words, and then continued to be silent.
A few minutes later, Wang Zhonglei sent the person out.
"It's been two months, and how long do you think it will take?"
"Wanda's stall is too big, although he has a lot of constraints in the group, but the old man of more than ten years does not mean that he can easily dig it up."
Speaking of this, Wang Zhonglei paused: "At least there is a great possibility of digging Ye Ning over." Yue Jun, it's just not oil and salt! ”
"It is understandable that that guy was originally 'miscellaneous' at Qingying Studio, and it was Lin Nan who gave him the opportunity...... It's just a brainstorm. ”
Wang Zhongjun said with a smile, his tone was very contemptuous.
