Chapter 307 Becoming Capital

Lin Nan was called by the superiors to attend the film industry conference.

In addition to the film and television industry, there were also experts and scholars from the financial industry who participated in the meeting...

It is really surprising to hear the word "capital" from the official mouth.

"Last year, the output value of the film industry exceeded 10 billion. This is the result of encouraging 'capital' to enter the market! This is just the beginning..."

Capital, in layman’s terms, refers to money.

But only money cannot be regarded as qualified capital. This kind of capital is called "blind money" by the film and television industry.

Qualified and high-quality capital must have resources that serve the film and television industry, such as media companies, publicity channels, theaters, voice, influence...

This is the "ideal capital" the industry needs!

Top filmmakers like high-quality capital, and the latter also prefer big directors, directors who can make money.

However, compared to Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen and others who were surrounded by everyone, Lin Nan's side was much deserted.

Most of them just say hello, leave their contact information and leave without talking much.

Because everyone knows that Lin Nan does not lack those things.

"Unknowingly, I seem to be walking on the road of 'capital', haha..."

…

After the box office of "If You Are the One 2" reached 450 million, the daily growth dropped to hundreds of thousands.

At the same time, the film scheduling rate has also been reduced to 4%. Although it has not been announced that it will be released, it is similar.

On the other hand, Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" is really aiming for 700 million. After 675 million, the daily box office will still have 3 to 4 million, which is a great chance.

"If the movie really breaks 700 million this time, I will definitely give a feast..."

Jiang Wen has been in high spirits over the past month.

It has been more than 4 years since the end of the 'banned guidance period', and I am finally proud and proud!

"Okay, I'm waiting for Director Jiang's big banquet. By the way, I'm also preparing the red envelope I promised before, haha."

"These are all small things, I'll prepare two copies for you, haha..."

…

The crew of "Pacific Rim" at Warner Bros.

Zhang Yi was also very excited at the moment, looking at another movie with a box office of 700 million.

"To say that I have made the most correct and decisive decision in these years, it must be..."

"It must be the ten-year contract we signed originally!" Guo Ban joked with a smile.

"Haha, Director Guo is right, this is the decision."

Zhang Yi echoed with a smile on his face, and could no longer see his eyes.

In the distance, Jing Tian, ​​wearing the combat uniform from the movie, walked over with a smile on his face, "Congratulations to Brother Zhang Yi."

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Zhang Yi quickly waved his hand, feeling comfortable from the inside out at being praised.

"When "Pacific Rim" is released, you will all be international stars."

Guo Fan looked at the filming crew preparing at Warner Bros. and said affirmatively.

Through these few months of exchanges and learning, Guo Fan has been impressed by Warner's technology and team.

He feels that after the production of "Pacific Rim" is completed, it will be a very shocking science fiction blockbuster!

"By the way, your movie "Warring States" seems to be coming soon, right?"

Zhang Yi suddenly thought of this.

He and Jing Tian are also old acquaintances. They have worked together on "The Martian" before. Girls with simple minds always make people like them.

"The special effects will be completed before the end of this month. Then everyone must come to the premiere of the movie."

Jing Tian smiled and invited sincerely.

"Okay, no problem."

"I will definitely support you..."

Zhang Yi and Guo Fan agreed wholeheartedly.

Not long after, several people started talking about "Now You See Me".

This movie has been released for more than a month, and its box office in North America has reached nearly 200 million U.S. dollars. It is also a best-selling commercial film.

The name of Crystal Pictures is one that they often hear these days.

…………

"Let the Bullets Fly" is still making its final push.

The subsequent films have already begun to be promoted and released.

Liu Yifei took Lin Nan to watch "New Shaolin Temple".

To be honest, Lin Nan refused at first.

Because you don’t need to watch this movie to know what the main plot is. This is an advertising movie of the Shaolin Group, a customized movie.

After two hours, the central idea was clear: that temple is not only a sanctuary, but also a holy place to save lives and souls!

"Look, I'm just saying it's a waste of time. You might as well read those books at home."

Lin Nan complained, which earned Liu Yifei a blank look.

There are two reasons why this movie attracts audiences. One is the sentiment of the "Shaolin Temple" that year, and the other is the huge star cast.

"I'm quite disappointed. Let's have something to eat and then go back?" Liu Yifei suggested.

"Well, let's go."

To be honest, "New Shaolin Temple" is definitely an exception in the film industry.

It is publicized and distributed regardless of cost, and it is distributed globally...

In Lin Nan's view, this movie may have never thought about making money back from the time it was first launched.

There is only one purpose for filming this movie, which is to advertise, promote and spread influence!

Sometimes I really admire these "monastics" for their really good business acumen!

…

Photos of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei appearing in the theater were secretly photographed.

Fortunately, I didn't take a picture of which screening room I came out of, otherwise it would be very troublesome for the media to ask for their evaluation of the movie.

The sentiment and strong star cast attracted many audiences.

The box office of 21 million on the first day can explain the problem.

But a group of "experts" predicting a total domestic box office of 500 million is a bit funny. At least, Lin Nan thinks this is a daydream.

…………

"Director Lin, the special effects of "Warring States" are completed."

Hearing this, Lin Nan was stunned for a moment and suppressed the idea of ​​​​wanting to take a look.

"Inform Starlight and ask them to come over."

Lu Zheng was very fast. In less than two hours, he led people to Tiangong Color.

"Hello, Director Lin, I am the director of "Warring States"..."

Lin Nan was not interested in who the director was and politely muttered a few words.

An employee led a few people to see the completed special effects shots, and soon they began to package and package them.

"Director Lin, the special effects are great. I can't wait to see the finished film in the cinema."

"You're welcome, you get what you pay for. Mr. Lu is generous, and the colors of Tiangong will definitely not deceive you."

Lin Nan said matter-of-factly. Lu Zheng chose the most expensive one at that time.

"We have already set a schedule. The movie will be released on April 12 and will be released in North America at the end of April..."

Lu Zheng began to talk about their arrangements for "Warring States", and he seemed to have the momentum to kill the whole audience after it was released.

"Then we have to hurry up and finish the film quickly."

"Don't worry, Director Lin, with the heavenly special effects shots, the film can be cut within half a month..." the director of "Warring States" said at the right time.

Several people came and left quickly.

I heard that I have to rush back to select movie highlights for promotion, and I can see the audience in the next two days...

…

During the period before the Lunar New Year, social interactions in the circle increased instantly.

"Let the Bullets Fly" just passed the 700 million threshold, with a revenue of 708 million, and it was released in theaters.

"Director Jiang Wen successfully became the director of the 700 million box office club..."

""Let the Bullets Fly" ranks second on the domestic movie box office list, only behind "The Thief"!"

…

At the celebration banquet, Jiang Wen held a wine glass and walked to the table of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

"Come on, I'll do it first as a courtesy." As he spoke, he drank half a glass of white wine in one gulp.

Before Lin Nan could raise the red wine, Jiang Wen took out a thick red envelope.

"Brother, I keep my word. If I say I will give you a red envelope, I will give you a red envelope.

"Let the bullets fly" four words, each word costs ten thousand, haha..."

Hearing this, Lin Nan was caught off guard.

Good guy, I really prepared a red envelope for him. I thought it was just a talk.

Lin Nan understood Jiang Wen's character. With the latter's temperament, he even took out the red envelope. If he didn't accept it, the day might not end well.

"A bit stingy, I remember your company is also an investor in the movie!"

Just kidding, Lin Nan was about to accept the red envelope, but Jiang Wen laughed and dodged it.

"What? You won't give it to me again?"

Many insiders nearby looked at the two great directors with great interest.

Jiang Wen handed the red envelope to Liu Yifei, who was a little confused.

"Yifei, can you take care of it for Director Lin?"

Liu Yifei's eyes instantly brightened, she glanced at Lin Nan, a smile overflowed on her face, "Okay, leave it to me."

As she spoke, Miss Liu took the red envelope from Jiang Wen's hand, acting like a housekeeper.

"Would you like to consider setting aside a schedule? As long as you nod, I will definitely give you a leading role in my next movie."

Lin Nan smiled speechlessly, he knew that this guy didn't have any good ideas!

When many people heard Jiang Wen's words, they looked at Liu Yifei with envy. Is this how different people are treated differently?

"Already have a script? Or is it in the style of "Let the Bullets Fly"?"

"Ah? There is no plan yet, but it should still be this style."

Jiang Wen said with certainty.

When he was filming "Let the Bullets Fly", he realized that this style of film was truly his style!

"Thank you very much, Director Jiang. I still feel that I am not suitable."

Liu Yifei's change of voice caught everyone off guard.

Jiang Wen patted his thigh, "You really don't think about it?"

Liu Yifei smiled and shook her head, then glanced at Lin Nan.

"Yeah, it's all a waste of time..."

"Okay, I've asked several times." Lin Nan changed the topic at the right time.

…………

Just after the celebration party for "Let the Bullets Fly" ended, the media reported that Jiang Wen sent a red envelope to Lin Nan and Liu Yifei declined the movie invitation.

The speed is so fast that it is shocking.

News at the celebration banquet spread quickly, and Starlight's efficiency was not slow either.

The first batch of stills and dozens of seconds of promotional videos from "Warring States" were quickly posted on major portal websites.

Lin Nan also glanced twice.

At this moment, the audience doesn’t know the plot of the movie, but just looking at the stills, the pictures are really beautiful...

Jiang Wu in "Let the Bullets Fly" and Sun Honglei in "If You Are the One 2" appeared together in the promotional video of "Warring States".

The effect of this wave of publicity is overwhelming!

…

"Director Lin, it seems that the movie "Gong Lock Heart Jade" is about to premiere?"

Yue Jun reminded.
