Chapter 52 "Dead Silence" completed

"Seeing it makes me want to sing and then come back to make movies."

Zhu Yawen's tone was sour.

The box office growth of "Initial" is indeed supported by Jay Chou's fans, and at least half of the credit is due to it.

The media has been reporting crazy about this recently, and several senior people in the mainland music scene have the urge to make movies.

"Forget it. He is better than me, but he is also incompetent."

Lin Nan complained mercilessly.

"Stop talking about me, you should still care about your movie. It will be released soon."

"All the publicity that needs to be done has been done. Teacher Li Baotian, a low-key person, asked me to record an interview. All I can do now is wait and see the results."

Zhu Yawen has not been very busy recently and often goes back to school to chat. In addition, "Initial Words" earned more than 30 million yuan in one week, which is why she made such sour remarks.

There were eight people in the large conference room. Except for Wen Ziren, the other seven were all Western-looking.

Lin Nan said suddenly.

Zhu Yawen asked curiously.

Lin Nan knew that he would have to stay at Lions Gate for at least three days until the box office was released.

"Follow me, they are already waiting for you."

"yes."

Lin Nan nodded. The box office performance of "Dead Silence" is very important to him and will directly affect his right to speak in future cooperation with Hollywood companies.

The media seemed to enjoy the excitement and came to interview Lin Nan about whether there would be any pressure in the face of the unabated box office growth of "Initial Letter".

"I understand. It's the same in Hollywood. You should have two bodyguards so that those people know how to restrain themselves." Tom gave his own advice.

Lin Nan stepped forward and shook hands with the foreigner. Although nearly a hundred employees were not many for a large company like Lions Gate, they were still more convincing than twenty or thirty.

…

"Actually, we have already watched it once, but it does not affect the experience of watching it this time. I have full confidence in it."

Zhu Yawen was dumbfounded when she heard this, "With this speed and efficiency, is this how Hollywood makes movies?"

"After the contract was signed in the first half of April, they started preparations. We started shooting at the end of the month and filmed for a month in May. They told me at the beginning of this month that it was almost done. During this time, we are working on the final stage and it can be completed before July."

"Have you not noticed that although those reporters are very annoying, they also help promote "Into the Dust" in disguise."

Horror movies do not need to be promoted as much as other movies. You only need one or a few posters, along with information about the production company, director, and actors.

The one-hundred-minute video was full of horror between shots, full of background sound effects, and extremely tight rhythm. Several people watching the movie in the conference room had varying degrees of heart palpitations like watching a horror movie.

Wen Ziren said to Lin Nan.

He referred to the failure of "Dead Silence" in his previous life and focused on further processing the script. He also told Lionsgate at the time that costs must be controlled.

Liu Yifei's eyes were filled with fire, which made Lin Nan feel a little hairy.

"It's different. We don't do this kind of thing here."

"cannot."

Liu Yifei was obviously a little frustrated and helpless.

"I'll go, how long did it take before the photo was taken?"

After getting in the car, Tom began to tell Lin Nan about his achievements in the past two months. In addition to continuing to register scripts, he also bought many stocks...

In the market in June, "Initial Letter" was the dominant one, many movies were suppressed, and many people were looking forward to watching Lin Nan's jokes.

As soon as Lin Nan asked, a bearded foreigner answered.

"Then how are you planning this screening?"

Looking at the machine on the long table, Lin Nan nodded, "Let's take a look."

Lin Nan looked at the materials in his hand. This is the production process of "Dead Silence" and the various cost statistics so far.

"You don't even pay attention to the movie when it comes out, what's the important thing?"

"You can go there with peace of mind. I'll be watched over here, and I hope to achieve good results at the box office over there. By then, you will be completely different, haha."

I remember that the original Lionsgate blindly expanded the production cost of "Dead Silence" to tens of millions of dollars because of the popularity of the "Chainsaw" series. As a result, the final box office did not reach the expected target. I only hope that this time through Lin Nandi's intervention, it can

Get a different ending.

"Tom, you've gained weight again. It's only been two months."

"Didn't you say you would come here in July? How come it came a few days early?"

"Yes, it is indeed much more important over there. This can be considered your first battle in Hollywood."

"Then how long are you going to go?"

Then a photo of Lin Nan and Tom appeared on the website. The two came out of the Lions Gate Building, accompanied by three foreigners, talking and laughing.

Lin Nan grimaced, "I'm afraid auntie will kill me."

Lin Nan introduced Zhu Yawen.

Netizens were extremely emotional. It was only in April that they heard that Lin Nan and Lions Gate were collaborating. Unexpectedly, the film would be released in 30 to 40 hours! There was no news at all before.

Wen Ziren took the initiative to hand a piece of information to Lin Nan.

…………

"right."

"This is really killing me across the ocean!"

Staying in the dormitory, Lin Nan browsed the portal website, "These people are really annoying, I can't afford to hide them, so fly to the head office in advance."

"Shit, don't mention this, those girls said the same thing."

"First of all, I would like to congratulate this movie on its current good results, but everyone seems to be asking a somewhat general question.

"In Hollywood, except for some special feature films, even if they are large-scale productions, the actual shooting time is not very long. At most, the post-production is time-consuming and labor-intensive. What's more, "Dead Silence" is a B-type horror film with characteristics

It’s just fast.”

"Next month, when "Into the Dust" is released, I'm going to fly to Los Angeles."

A foreigner with gray and curly hair greeted Lin Nan.

Tom asked. When he received the news from Lin Nan, he suspected that he had remembered the wrong date.

"Why?"

Lionsgate listened to Lin Nan's suggestion. So far, including publicity expenses, it has only spent US$2.8 million. The actual production cost is US$2.4 million, which is two times the cost of "Chainsaw".

times.

…

The themes and contents of the two films are completely different. "Into the Dust" is set in rural areas decades ago and is a realist theme. Moreover, this film helped me win the Silver Bear Award for Best Director in Berlin.

of……"

Different from the conference room last time, this place is much larger.

Here in China, "Into the Dust" is ready to be released at any time, just waiting for July 1st.

Lin Nan ignored Zhu Yawen, but called Han Sanping and told him his itinerary. He asked China Film to keep an eye on the movie when it was released. After all, the publicity and distribution expenses were divided into the box office.

Tom instantly became constipated.

"Into the Dust" is about to be released, and Lin Nan is the youngest director in China. There are all kinds of topics, hot topics, and attention. The reporters seem to have enlightened and found the direction of performance, and rushed over.

.

"Oh, Lin, I haven't seen you for more than two months, and I miss you so much."

Walking into the Lionsgate Film Headquarters again, Lin Nan noticed that the last time he came here, there were only twenty or thirty people. This time, there was still no change. Ordinary people might not believe it. This is the second time.

At several established and powerful film companies in Hollywood.

This time he flew to Los Angeles in advance, and Lin Nan also said hello to the people at Lions Gate and agreed to go directly to the company.

"You're going to Los Angeles?"

"Welcome, Lin."

"Hey, coward."

Tom came over and wanted to hug Lin Nan, but the latter stopped him with his hand.

"Can I go with you?"

"Lionsgate has finished the first movie and it will be released in July. I have to go and follow it."

"The movie I won the Silver Bear Award for is about to be released, and the reporters are so annoyed." Lin Nan said casually.

…

Lin Nan knew what Tom meant. The bodyguards here were really willing to take action when necessary. If this were the case in China, he would probably be sprayed to death by public opinion.

As the director, Lin Nan was nowhere to be seen, and the media was also surprised. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.

"To Lions Gate?"

"Yes." Lin Nan answered simply.

Ever since he was forced to give an interview for the first time, the media seemed to have started to specifically arrest Lin Nan.

Judging from the photo, the photographer was more than thirty meters away from them, but it did not affect the clarity. Everyone recognized it as Lin Nan at a glance.

Han Sanping has also been very annoyed recently. He even doubts whether his decision to replace the publicity and distribution expenses with box office sharing settlement was wrong, but he can't show it in his mouth.

"It will be fully released on Friday and will be launched in some other countries in two weeks at the latest. We have a strong distribution network in many places..."

Traditional filmmakers, including old-school directors and actors, all sneered at the high box office of "Initial". It's unclear how much of this was due to artistic considerations and how much was envy.

"You should continue training at home. Auntie will not agree to you running to the United States alone with me." Lin Nan said softly.

"I will definitely come back before your birthday."

Liu Yifei couldn't help but turned around and asked.

When I landed, I was still picked up by Tom, who was wearing a cowboy outfit and his body shape, which was really funny.

"Good afternoon, everyone."

Director: James Wan.

"Two movies were released at the same time. Where did he go to watch them?"

Hearing Lin Nan's affirmative answer, Liu Yifei asked happily.

Lin Nan was unlucky and was blocked at the entrance of the company, so he had to accept the interview. He guessed that he was specially guarded by these reporters.

Produced/produced by: Lionsgate Films.

Screenwriter:NanLin.

Lin Nan got on the plane, and what she was thinking about was "Dead Silence".

"Director Lin Nan, you seem to be very interested in the number of people here. We have nearly a hundred employees, many of whom are permanent members of the crew."

"Director Lin Nan, according to the plan, the post-production of "Dead Silence" has been completed. We have just graded it and it can be released at any time. Do you want to see the finished film?"

Liu Yifei smiled happily, she was very satisfied with this answer.

"meet again……"

Zhu Yawen laughed and said, "Are you going to Los Angeles in advance to avoid these reporters?"

On the 30th, domestic time, one of the portal websites was the first to post a news item with a picture, a poster for the release of "Dead Silence" from a North American theater, with the release time clearly written on it.

Not many people know about Lin Nan's itinerary, and even fewer companies know about it.

Han Sanping looked at the breaking news and smiled, "Let me write a manuscript and take this opportunity to raise the popularity of "Into the Dust"."

Many companies and artists in the industry were attracted by Lin Nan's news. The latter could ignore the release of his award-winning work and go to Lionsgate to watch "Dead Silence". The stakes are definitely not simple, or he is very sure.

This can pry open the door to Hollywood.

Once Lin Nan succeeds, does that mean there will be one more ship that can cross the ocean?
