Chapter 285 Co-production

Time is on the 5th.

"The Great Earthquake" took only half a month to push the box office record of domestic movies to 550 million.

At this moment, its screening volume finally returned to normal.

"Embroidered Spring Sword" strives to maintain a rare and good result in martial arts movies, with a daily box office of about 12 million yuan and a good reputation.

Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and Lu Yang are all very satisfied with this result.

Especially the latter two.

Liu Yifei's name as producer has been completely launched.

Lu Yang will definitely become the director of a club for 100 million yuan.

Sometimes I have to admit that the potential of romance films is not as good as other movies.

Three days after its release, "My Beauty Boss" began to jump twice in the daily box office, and now it is hovering around two million.

"Without the blessing of big-name stars, maybe this is what it should have achieved..."

"Even so, it should be OK to achieve the expected target of 50 million."

...

Lin Nan flipped through the movie information.

"My Beauty Boss" is indeed a pity.

This movie was originally used to practice Jing Tian. If the cast was bigger, the results would definitely be better.

"Hong Kong movies are dead", the four-character headline is hung on the news page, which is very conspicuous.

"Informer", which invested 150 million yuan, had a box office of less than 5 million yuan in the first day of the mainland.

"City-wide Warning", which costs 100 million yuan, was 7 million yuan on the first day.

...

So far, except for "Ip Man 2" in the first half of the year, the other Hong Kong films released have been almost wiped out.

Lin Nan could even think of Yang Shoucheng's mood at this moment.

The money earned by the two "Ip Man" was returned neatly.

Hong Kong films invested by China Film, Light, Huayi, and other companies, also ended with serious losses.

"No wonder I have called several times in the past two days. Is this the reason for my relationship?!"

Lin Nan realized it later.

Let’s talk about why Yang Shoucheng has been contacting him recently and asking about cooperation.

...

Huayi announced good news.

"The Empire of Tongtian" produced by them and directed by Xu Ke was shortlisted for the main competition unit of Venice.

This is also the only Chinese-language film shortlisted for Venice this year.

"Last year's Golden Lion Award winner was Director Lin Nan. I hope this year will still be our domestic director. Director Xu Ke!"

The media that has good news is already reporting. If Xu Ke wins the Golden Lion Award, the September schedule will be interesting.

The head-on collision between the two commercial films "Tongtian Empire" and "Robbers" must be very interesting and the topic is definitely full of topics.

Many people asked Lin Nan what he thought about this on Weibo.

Although he is a competitor, at this time, there can only be one answer: I wish Director Xu the gold medal!

On the other hand, Ning Hao's "The Great Robbery" was officially launched in Modu Film and Television City.

There were a lot of media on site, but only half of them were concerned about "The Great Robbery", and the other half asked about "No Man's Land".

"Director Ning, has "No Man's Land" really been sentenced to death?"

“When will it be released?”

"But the reason for the trial is because all the main characters are bad guys?"

...

This time Ning Hao became much more decisive.

"It's almost like everyone guessing, it's impossible to pass the review.

But I will re-film the ending of "No Man's Land" after the filming of "The Great Robbery" is completed..."

Now, even if you have a complete showdown against the circle.

A group of filmmakers took advantage of this matter and began to talk about the issue of censorship, including many people who took advantage of the troubled waters...

"Super Body" is an imported film, so Lin Nan never thought about holding a celebration banquet or something.

However, Han Sanping was very enthusiastic. He invited Lin Nan and Liu Yifei to have a meal.

As a release, China Film has made a lot of money this time.

There were only three people during the meal.

"This time Yifei's "Super Body" can be regarded as becoming famous in one battle. How do you plan your future development?"

When Liu Yifei heard Han Sanping call her name, she glanced at Lin Nan and smiled and said, "I'll listen to him."

"Dr. Han is talking about Hollywood?"

"Um."

Lin Nan thought about this question a long time ago.

"No need to delay any delays on both sides. I want to rest, I want to film, and she is also a producer now."

Han Sanping nodded. With Lin Nan here, Liu Yifei did have this condition.

"I talked to you some time ago and talked about the next project. How is it now?"

Sure enough, Han Sanping treats to her, and this meal is not so easy to eat.

Before, Lin Nan planned to make a more relaxed movie, such as a romantic movie or a literary movie.

He knew that Han Sanping was definitely not talking about this, and the latter was fond of big-scale commercial films.

Especially for this "Super Body", many people know about the relationship between Lin Nan and Crystal Film.

They began to think about it.

Take a boat to sea, participate in Hollywood movies, make movies, and get stuffed...

“It’s still thinking.”

Lin Nan did not give an accurate reply.

Liu Yifei did not get involved in the conversation between the two and was eating a little while aside.

"How about making a co-production film? You don't need to direct it, just check it..."

Han Sanping suggested.

This is indeed a good way to cooperate, and it is currently supported and encouraged in terms of policies.

When Crystal Film was established, it was mainly to borrow chickens to lay eggs, but it would not prevent the co-production of films!

Lin Nan thought for a while, "I'm thinking about it carefully these days."

"Okay, I'll wait for good news."

This is the answer Han Sanping wants.

…………

There is a lot of gossip in the circle.

First, Guo Degang's villa occupied the public green space, and a reporter from Capital Station was beaten to interview.

Then Deyunshe and Capital Taiwan criticized each other, but refused to admit it.

The crosstalk jokes are full of mockery. The neighbors are poor, the reporters are "prostitutes", and the capital station that made him famous is a "dirty unit"...

I thought there was no evidence, so it was not false at all.

Who knew that someone threw out the full video and was slapped in the face in an instant.

Now I can only hold my nose and hold a press conference, bow my head to admit my mistake, apologize, and surrender...

In just a few days, the attitude turned 180 degrees.

Guo Degang, who used to be honest, suddenly smashed his signature, and this wave probably took a long time to slow down!

...

After "The Great Earthquake" reached 550 million, the market finally seemed normal.

But the audience seemed to have been overdrawn, and the box office that "The Earthquake" was missing was not added to other movies.

"How much is "Embroidered Chunjian" now?"

"There are some rebounds in the past two days, with seven days of release and a box office of 84.4 million."

Yue Jun reported a number.

The income of a movie accounts for the most part in the first half of the month.

Lin Nan estimated that the final box office of "The Embroidered Spring Sword" should fall at around 200 million, either lower or just crossed the line.

"It's great. Let's contact the Light and add two more publicity to Lu Yang."

Lin Nan ordered. Now everyone in the circle is saying that his decision to sign Guo Fan and Lu Yang is very predictive.

...

The scenes of "The Founding of a Country" last year are still vivid in my mind.

"The Great Founding of the Party" has started filming again in the past two days.

However, this time Han Sanping was only named, and the actual work was directed by director Huang Jianxin.

Compared to the previous work, this movie has a much inferior cast.

However, what surprised Lin Nan was that Lu Chuan had actually gotten into the director team, which was speechless.

"Lin, are you really going to start this project?"

After receiving the email, Tom called to confirm.

The script has been made for a long time, but it has been put on hold. He didn't expect Lin Nan to do this project now.

"What's wrong, do you have any suggestions?"

"I didn't have any suggestions, but our company definitely can't do it. Also, are you sure you won't get started in person?"

Lin Nan never thought about directing such a popcorn-style co-production film.

“I won’t be the director of this movie.

You go and communicate with Lionsgate and Warner, and if possible, I want to make it a co-production.”

Tom understands what the co-production means.

This means that once the movie is produced, it will definitely enter the Chinese market.

"Okay, Lin. I believe they won't reject such a big cake."

"Well, go and do it as soon as possible and notify me immediately when there is any news."

...

Lin Nan considered several film projects, but finally chose this one.

Because he accidentally saw stills from "Transformers 3" online...

In terms of time, it was only early August, and I didn’t expect that the smoke of gunpowder in September had already begun to spread.

The new screen first released the trailer for "Hawthorn Tree" for 2 minutes and 36 seconds.

Not to mention, the response is pretty good.

"Yes! The girls of that era looked like that, they were malnourished..."

"The eyes look quite clear!"

"Why do you look a little stupid?"

...

Liu Yifei also followed the trailer for "Hawthorn Tree".

After all, she wanted to play the heroine at the beginning.

"Look, even if you put on makeup, wear a coarse rural cloth jacket, and apply some gray on your face, you won't be as 'inconspicuous' as her..."

Lin Nan joked and was blanched.

"Where are you talking like this? Then what do I look like?"

An image suddenly appeared in Lin Nan's mind, Xiao Wu...

Thinking of something bad, Lin Nan shook his head instantly.

"Anyway, the temperament is not consistent. Even if you were asked to audition, Director Zhang would probably wipe you out."

"snort……"

Although I knew this in my heart, Miss Liu was still a little dissatisfied.

"No, I have to ask them to help me find the script for art films, or..."

As he spoke, Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan with anger in her eyes.

...

Ten days after "The Embroidered Spring Sword" successfully exceeded 100 million box office, and its daily box office also dropped to 6 million.

Speaking of which, this is the second movie Lu Yang made.

"Director Lu Yang has successfully been promoted to the Directors Club for 100 million yuan in box office."

"Liu Yifei served as producer for the first time, and the box office of the movie exceeded 100 million..."

...

Apart from Lu Yang, the happiest person is Yang Mi.

"Jia Jia, it's really hundreds of millions!"

"Congratulations, Mimi. From now on, you will be the heroine of a billion yuan movie, haha..."

In Zeng Jia's opinion, the higher Yang Mi's achievements, the greater the benefits she, the agent, and the two complement each other.

There are always more people who add icing on the cake than those who provide timely assistance.

Whether it is a nod or a good relationship, many celebrity artists congratulated Lu Yang on Weibo and praised "The Embroidered Spring Sword".

No one can reject honor!

Even Feng Xiaogang, who usually said that he didn't care about Oscars, changed his face as soon as he knew that "The Great Earthquake" defeated "Hawthorn Tree" and got the "Australia" quota.

"Since my superiors have given me this opportunity, I will definitely grasp it and prepare carefully. When the Oscars come to see you..."

...

As soon as these words came out, you can imagine what mocking you on the Internet.

"I remember when I was in the Golden Armor, Director Feng said: He disdains Oscars! That's a scam..."

"When did Director Feng not do this? He is smart!"

...

Lin Nan couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw these comments.

Unlike the complaints on the Internet, there are almost always blessings in the circle, except for Zhang Weiping.

"It's so hypocritical. Choose one of two, why is the "Great Earthquake"?

By the suffering it sells? Or by the box office that is flooded with water?"

If Feng Xiaogang is a small steel cannon, then Zhang Weiping is a big cannon.

When you spit out someone, there is nothing that Zhang Weiping dared not say.

This is no longer a criticism of Huayi and Feng Xiaogang. The General Administration, which is also a recommended unit for the best foreign language films, is also being criticized...

For a moment, the actors and artists in the circle instantly hid far away, and the two major director camps opened fire, fearing that they would be affected.

To be honest, Lin Nan couldn't figure out whether Zhang Weiping was smart or stupid, and he was the General Administration of Hard Steel?

I don’t know if Zhang Yimou came forward to express his opinion or if others spoke? Zhang Dapao, who was still aggressive in the morning, stopped in the afternoon.

Lin Nan was halfway through the fun, but it ended inexplicably...

…………

Tom is quite efficient.

"Lin, maybe you have to come here."

"What, is there any problem?" Lin Nan asked.

"For such a big project, it's still a co-production film. They want to interview you..."

Lin Nan could understand this.

"Meaning, they agreed?"

"So you can say that. According to your opinion, I have already talked to them. However, co-production is more troublesome after all, and there are many places to communicate.

They think it's safer to talk to you face to face..."

After hearing this, Lin Nan understood what it meant.

The procedures for co-production films are complicated and they have to be submitted for approval in China. When Huayi was the "King Fu King", it took a long time to register it alone.

"Okay. Tell them that I will bring people there in two days."

"Well, I'll inform you, Lin."

...

The fact that Lionsgate and Warner were able to invite Lin Nan to come over in person shows that the collaboration of this movie will basically not go wrong.

At that time, you only need to finalize the investors on both sides.

"There are endless movies, and it is likely that this will be done frequently in the future."

Lin Nan is very clear about this situation. One person’s energy is limited, and the upper limit of the two companies is also there. No matter how many, I really can’t be busy...

...

Lin Nan took out his cell phone and called out.

"Dr. Han..."

Han Sanping didn't expect Lin Nan to be so efficient. What he said just two days ago will be a result today!

"Okay, listen to you. If you want someone, I will give you someone. I will help you run the procedures myself. It is definitely faster than Hua Yi then...

But are you sure about the project?”

"A science fiction blockbuster. As long as you can keep up with the special effects, it is definitely a good project!"

"good!"

To be honest, I was swept up by some readers, which is not a good sign.

I changed some of the outline today and forced it, so it took a lot of time.

I originally wanted to ask for leave, but I was embarrassed, but I really didn’t have enough time and I could only write 4,000 words.
