Chapter 202 Venice films, "Li Mi" released

"Li Mi's Conjecture" is about to be released.

Although there are not many movies in the same period, the movie "Mummy 3" is a mountain that all movies cannot get around.

"Venice Film Festival?"

Many European and American film manufacturers gave Lin Nan the advice they asked him to come to Venice.

The Lions Gate, the new line’s people also told Lin Nan.

If you want to sell the copyright of "Martian Rescue" to the best, the Venetian Film Festival is an opportunity that you cannot miss.

"Lin, believe us, with your biography of the best Silver Bear director twice, Venice will be happy to provide you with venues to help you promote the movie."

Lin Nan thought about it over and over again, communicated with several Chinese Film companies, and decided to go to Venice with a copy of the film.

The domestic time is six hours faster than Venice.

China Film and Television sent staff to follow Lin Nan, mainly to start.

I left at 8 o'clock in the morning and arrived in Venice, it was noon local time.

"I didn't expect that the first time I came to Venice was not a prize, but a film seller."

Lin Nan remembers that when he was in Berlin last year, an Italian filmmaker sincerely invited him to Venice to attend the film festival.

"Maybe Director Lin will receive the award next time he comes, haha."

Several people from Zhongying have become familiar with each other and are very casual when they make jokes.

"Let's contact the organizer first. There is only one week left before the closing ceremony. I need their help to rent the venue."

"Okay, if you have colleagues here, I will contact them to do this."

The middle-level team led by China Film said.

Han Sanping instructed that they came here to help Lin Nan solve trivial matters. As for selling movies, it depends on Lin Nan's appeal at the film festival.

Jia Zhangke was also well-informed and invited Lin Nan to have a meal that night.

Among the domestic directors, Jia Zhangke is the kind of person who wanders around the film festival all year round.

I can’t play theater movies, but I am an expert in the field of award-winning films.

This time, his short film was shortlisted for the "Master Screening Unit".

"Master!"

Jia Zhangke is indeed not much different if he can challenge Zhang Yimou openly.

"Director Lin, sit down."

"Thank you, Director Jia."

Lin Nan politely thanked him, and Jia Zhangke's wife was also at the deskmate.

The industry is all sighing that Jia Zhangke's movies are indispensable to his wife.

"I came a little late, and many film manufacturers have completed the purchase."

"I know, but big-time filmmakers will always leave the last one."

"That's right, you are different from me, mine is all small costs.

Your "Martian Rescue" is enough for me to make twenty or thirty movies."

"Director Jia was joking because the cost was high, so there were more things to do now." Lin Nan said with a smile.

"No need to be modest. Although Zhang Yimou and I don't deal with each other, I am indeed not as good as him.

I used to lose in commercial films, but now the gap is even bigger as soon as the Olympics start."

I ate for two hours for a supper, mainly because I talked a lot.

Jia Zhangke took the initiative to propose to Lin Nan that he would introduce some European film dealers who had worked with him for a long time.

The next day, there was a promotional venue for "Marls Rescue" in the movie trading square in Venice.

In the director's introduction, the record was quite gorgeous, and the two best director Silver Bear Awards attracted a large number of film dealers to stop.

"Lin? Haha, I didn't expect to see you in Venice."

Damn, it's really fate.

林楠眼前这货,就是两次在柏林想买他版权,给不起价格的那老兄.

“When can I watch a movie?”

“等晚上.我们包了一座放映厅,专门为片商准备的,人多点好.”

欧洲三大电影节,也是世界上最大的电影销售场所.

Here, you can see movies of all kinds of themes and types.

…………

Domestic media are already reporting news in Venice, especially the sudden appearance of "Marl Rescue".

"After this time, it is impossible to participate in the competition, it can only be the sale of copyright."

"Reliable news, "Martian Rescue" will not be released in Venice, and is only limited to film manufacturers."

It is impossible to leak pirated copies.

In two days, more than 200 business card dealers watched "Martian Rescue".

On the third day, Lin Nan will no longer show it.

All the film dealers with a little background have already seen it, and those small film dealers are not important.

Quotations were delivered to Lin Nan one after another. Everyone knew that he would leave on the closing day, so the efficiency was very high.

"So far, a total of 13 film manufacturers have been screened out, including 10 in Europe and 3 in North America."

The people from China Film Festival handed over a form to Lin Nan, who looked at it in detail.

"Well, that's it."

The eyes of several people lit up instantly, "Let's go and notify me now."

According to the agreement, these film manufacturers will not be released within one month after they get the movie, which is also to deal with domestic piracy.

Although this kind of movie can only have the best viewing experience in cinemas, there is a need to be guarded against pirated versions.

While the Zhongying and the others were busy with the contract, Lin Nan went to the appointment.

Li An, the chairman of the jury of the Venice Film Festival next year.

The two met in a cafe in Water City.

"Director Lin Nan, has the matter of "Martian Rescue" been handled?"

"Well, the European and American film dealers have been finalized and are signing the contract.

I wonder what happened to Director Li asks me?"

Li An put down the coffee in her hand and said bluntly: "I want to invite Director Lin to attend next year's Venice Film Festival."

Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, "Next year is still too far."

"It's not far. Whether there are any film works or not, I'm looking forward to seeing Director Lin at next year's Venice Film Festival.

Mainland film talents are full of talents, which are far from comparable to Hong Kong and Taiwan. In addition, Director Lin is also well-known in Europe and the United States, right?”

…………

Lin Nan doesn't know Li An, but he thinks he really has a good understanding of the movie.

Before they knew it, the two chatted for a long time, and Tang Wei was mentioned in the middle.

Li An was still a little responsible and asked Tang Wei to go to Hong Kong Island to get through the talent plan, so that he could bypass the ban in the mainland.

As soon as I sat in the cafe, I just had an afternoon and it was a little dark when I left.

"Director Li, goodbye."

"Director Lin walked slowly."

…………

Lin Nan couldn't see the red carpet of the closing ceremony. He and the people from Zhongying had boarded the plane back home.

The airport is still a wave of journalists.

"Director Lin, how much does "Martian Rescue" cost?"

"This question is kept confidential and will be said at the premiere."

"What did you talk about with Director Li An? Is it a movie plan?"

“Talk.”

There are a variety of speculations about the total amount of copyright transactions in "Martian Rescue" online, but they are all without basis.

Lin Nan had planned it before that the data will be released on the premiere day and China Film Academy will also keep it confidential.

As soon as I returned to the company, someone from the marketing department came to Lin Nan with information.

“How is the box office?”

"Li Mi's Conjecture" has been released for several days.

"Director Lin, this data is not very good."

“It’s specific.”

"The box office in the first three days was 8 million..."

Lin Nan wondered. This is the best result in the same type of movie.

"Are you sure this data is not very good?"

"You listen to me first. On the fourth day, the daily box office dropped below one million, and these days it has been a box office of six or seven hundred thousand."

"Where is "Mummy 3"?" Lin Nan asked.

"The first day is 14 million, and now it has been released for five days, and it has been 60 million."

Cao Baoping has not contacted Lin Nan, so I guess he feels uncomfortable.

Lin Nan was alone in the office and flipped through the news.

Some media have asserted that this will be the second loss-making movie Lin Nan invested in.

"Even if you lose, you can't lose too much, and the total investment is only over 10 million."

He could only comfort himself like this.

Fortunately, "Li Mi's Conjecture" has a good reputation, and I hope it will attract some viewers later.

…………

Tangren has released a large number of final photos and stills of "The Legend of Sword III".

Cai Yinong's thoughts can be seen from the publicity methods.

"The Legend of Sword 1" was used for comparison and marketing, and the focus was Liu Yifei.

"The new descendant of Nuwa, Tang Yan VS Liu Yifei."

"Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, Jing Tian and Xue Jian."

Even Liu Shi's poems were brought by the Spring and Autumn style, and his temperament was comparable to that of Liu Yifei.

Cai Yinong was interviewed and said bluntly: All three actresses have great potential and have the opportunity to catch up with Liu Yifei's footsteps and go to the international stage...

Lin Nan also admires this person. He dares to say anything. Do you catch up with the TV series?

In the penguins, they were chatting about gossip.

Zhang Jingchu is really amazing. After being taught a lesson by Jiang Wenli, she probably learned something new. She met Director Gu two days ago and was secretly photographed by a reporter.

It turns out that men are old and ugly really doesn’t matter, as long as you are talented and capable.

蒋文丽没闲着,在京的导演太太们,被她一个一个请出来聚会吃饭,估计要有动作了.

These days, many teachers and professors of the Film Academy are paying attention to "Li Mi's Conjecture".

When Cao Baoping was able to get 10 million yuan in investment from Lin Nan, many people really made people think.

Although I have taught at Beijing Television, I have actually participated in filming and not many of them have produced them.

Everyone wants to try their skills, but they are struggling to make no investment.

When Lin Nan returned to school, many teachers looked at him incorrectly, as if he was looking at the sucker.

"Lin Nan, I'm a cheater. It's hard to make a comeback for this movie."

Cao Baoping felt a little embarrassed.

"Teacher Cao, you won't lose money, but it may take a long time to recover the cost. After all, the movie is really good.

Don’t talk about whether to cheat me or not. Look at the directors in Hong Kong, even if they really cheat the producers, they will only see smiles on their faces. You are so much more than them, haha.”

"Where did you say that?

However, I really plan to continue to invest in you next time. Don’t say you don’t know me then…”

Combined with box office and reputation, the movie Cao Baoping made has actually been considered a success and will only go further next time.

"I still believe in Teacher Cao's strength. I can continue to come to me next time, as long as the script is not bad."

Lin Nan promised with a promise.

Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you lose a little, but it’s even more profitable. This is how people and connections come from.
