That year Huayu

“Although it is a film that is meant to be tweaked and shot for fun, I have already polished it over and over again when I wrote the outline;

The script written by the screenwriting department has been revised several times, and I have read them all. At least I can ensure that its story is complete, focusing on light comedy and fantasy and love elements in an urban setting.

In addition, when we are shooting, if we have inspiration on the spot, we can also change it while shooting. We can make changes at any time on the spot and shoot at any time. My requirements are not high, as long as this movie passes, everyone can show off as he pleases! "

At the dinner table, Lin Nan once again talked to Ning Hao about "Second Generation Fairy". Since it is him and Liu Yifei who will act, there can be no mistakes in the script.

"Good guy, are you making changes while filming, making changes at any time and shooting at any time? Now I really believe what you say: I made this movie just for fun!"

Ning Hao took a sip of beer and complained about Lin Nan with a smile.

"Why do you have the idea of ​​​​making a light comedy romance film to spice things up and have fun?" Xing Aina was very puzzled and asked Miss Liu next to her.

When Liu Yifei heard this, she was happy at first, and then immediately changed her face. After she glared at Lin Nan fiercely, she replied to Xing Aina:

"According to the plan, the shooting of "Second Generations" will start immediately after the completion of another movie "Marriage Story", and the atmosphere of "Marriage Story" is very similar to the previous "The Fault in Our Stars";

The two of us will get tired of life, get tired of each other, separate, break up, and get divorced in the movie... Lin Nan is afraid that after I finish filming this movie, I will be depressed for a long time like I did after "The Fault in Our Stars" was completed.

So I thought of using the fantasy love comedy "Second Generation Fairy" to adjust my mood and state. Isn't it just for fun? "

After hearing Liu Yifei's explanation, Xing Aina and Ning Hao suddenly realized.

"It's better that you two know how to play. Lin Nan is really thoughtful."

Producer Xing looked at Liu Yifei with a thumbs up and praised Lin Nan.

Then, she glanced at Ning Hao again. The latter felt guilty for a while, and quickly turned to Director Lin, changing the topic:

"'Marriage Story' sounds like it's a film competing for awards?"

"Well, it's a romantic and artistic drama with a realistic theme, which is very suitable for the film festival route. In fact, Yifei's reasons for filming "Second Generation Fairy" are not complete, and there is still one missing."

"Then is there any reason why we don't know about it?"

As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, Xing Aina asked. Including Liu Hanhan, all three people looked over.

"Because I have joked with Sissi many times before, saying that I would let her play the role of a vixen in the future. Now, after marrying her, you have to fulfill your promise now, right? Hehe..."

"Oh, I really envy you, Yifei.

Before I got married, someone made a lot of promises to me, but after so many years, I haven't seen any of them fulfilled! You must have thought it was a fart, right? "

While Xing Ai was acting strangely and Ning Hao was begging for mercy with a smile on his face, Liu Yifei was glaring at Lin Nan with a pink face;

Because when the latter joked many times about letting her play the role of a vixen, the two of them were in bed... it just ended...

Director Lin Da is so thick-skinned that he doesn't care at all about Liu Hanhan's "anger" and even gives him an innocent smile;

Well, Liu Hanhan's face is now pink and murderous. It's really pretty!

Not long after, the "chilling" atmosphere in the restaurant box was "jointly" dispelled by Ning Hao and Lin Nan.

While changing glasses, Director Ning sighed sentimentally for the nth time about reality-themed movies. He was inspired by Lin Nan's another award-winning film "Marriage Story."

Ever since "No Man's Land", Ning Hao's spirit has been completely dispersed and wiped out;

Even now, there is still desire deep in his heart, but he can't raise the energy at all; he was hurt too deeply and the psychological shadow was too heavy.

"It started shooting in early 2009 and was released at the end of 2013. It's been so long now. Cheer up and go for the awards when it's time. Were you an ideal film director in the beginning?"

"Haha, it's not that easy. It's getting harder and harder."

Talking about dreams, who is not a teenager? Ning Hao smiled bitterly. Neither Xing Aina nor Liu Yifei interrupted, but ate and watched quietly.

"is it hard?"

"Are you speaking human language?"

"I heard from the gossip two days ago that Feng Xiaogang's "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" was registered for the San Sebastian International Film Festival. He is 58 years old this year and he is still competing for awards! How old are you? What about giving up?

We all know that in this industry, a big director cannot live without international awards and influence. This will make him less confident, less convincing, and less complete! Just like Feng Xiaogang, he is always angry, sour about this and sour about that. "

Lin Nan used Feng Xiaogang to encourage Ning Hao.

Xing Aina nodded in agreement: "Lin Nan is right, don't you sigh and regret from time to time? Commercial films are just money, and we are not short of money now..."

At this moment, Liu Yifei's watery eyes were shining, and she looked at Lin Nan with a smile on her face, feeling very proud. Because there is no shortage of trophies at home, and they are all grand prizes.

"Going for prizes? Hey, I really want to, but... I'm tired just thinking about it. All the efforts you put in can easily be in vain in an instant. And if you don't gain anything, you will most likely lose a lot."

Ning Hao shook his head, looked at Lin Nan bitterly, and joked: "Going to the film festival, you are familiar with the road. Since you are so knowledgeable, can you help me later?"

Lin Nan was stunned. He didn't expect that Ning Hao would say such a request for help, as if he was joking; but he could also hear that Ning Hao was using a joke to cover up his self-esteem, but it was indeed true. eager!

"Me? Okay, let's talk about it later, if there is a chance. After all, it's not just the work that has the final say in winning the prize."

Lin Nan pointedly said that the direction of the wind, the preferences of the jury...these are all uncertain factors that can affect the outcome.

But Lin Nan will take notice. After all, Ning Hao and he are old friends who have known each other for 13 years. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are best friends!

Moreover, at the General Administration's "Opinions on Dealing with Bad Artists" conference the year before last, Ning Hao did not hesitate to offend the entire industry and publicly expressed his support for Lin Nan.

At that time, only three private companies publicly supported Lin Nan - Enlight, Wanda, and Bad Monkey!

"Haha, okay, I'm waiting for you to be the chairman of the jury of the International Category A Film Festival, just like Zhang Yimou and Li An did back then, promoting each other!"

"That's right."

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too." Liu Yifei put down her chopsticks with a smile. She was looking forward to Lin Nan becoming the chairman of the jury.

…

The people at Xiying are really awesome. Only about ten days have passed and they have already begun to rush the approval process of "Pacific Rim 2".

In short, in one sentence, they want to get the documents that have been approved and successfully filed in early April. They really only give the bureau one month.

On the morning of the 20th, when Lin Nan heard the news, he collapsed on the sofa with laughter;

Having such a partner really gives me a sense of "security", and I don't need him to care about me, because Xiying cares more about me than him!

Looking at the Internet again, there is no need to guess that the focus of the entire Internet today is the information about the wedding of Wu Qilong and Liu Shishi in Bali.

It must have started at four or five in the morning, and the hot searches on Weibo were all over the place.

What about a 3 million yuan wedding dress, a 12 million yuan jewelry, which celebrity is updating photos of Bali on Weibo, and the sunrise sea view...

Although there is such a large amount of traffic, the discussion has not exploded, which is surprising.

However, the rumors circulating in the circle yesterday all came true: Cai Yinong, Hu Ge and other members of the Tang Dynasty did not go.

The previous crew of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" included 6 actors including Yuan Hong, but only Lin Gengxin was missing...

In the film market, "Zootopia" took 16 days to break and refresh the highest box office record for an animated film set by "The Return of the Monkey King" in the domestic film market;

The box office record of 1.366 billion was refreshed to 1.4 billion.

The daily box office of more than 20 million yuan and the overwhelmingly good reputation indicate that "Zootopia" can easily reach 1.5 billion!

As for other movies, "The Revenant" has strong momentum. On the second day of its release, the box office increased by another 20 million, with a revenue of more than 83 million.

Putting aside the political factors, this movie is indeed a rare good movie.

"Director Lin, it looks like "Mermaid" is in trouble. Yesterday's daily box office was only 1.45 million..."

Lin Nan was shocked when she received a call from Yue Jun.

"Is the drop so exaggerated? I remember not there were more than 16 million a few days ago?"

"That's a throwback! With so many new movies released, especially "The Revenant" and "Zootopia," the few remaining potential audiences for "Mermaid" have been sucked away, and online piracy has also Out."

While Lin Nan and Yue Jun were on the phone, China Film Group was also discussing "Mermaid".

After all, it is impossible for the total box office of the movie to exceed 3.5 billion as La Peikang expected.

"The daily box office is falling too fast, and there is no way to 'save' it, otherwise it will be too fake and will be scolded by public opinion. China Film and Shanghai Film are both state-owned enterprises, and this is not a mission film..."

La Peikang's secretary explained to Zhou Xingchi that the stock price of the latter's Bigo Group had risen a lot in the past month or so, so much so that he had some bad thoughts at the moment.

"Just let nature take its course. Don't do things that are not worth the gain or loss. It's not worth it."

Although La Peikang was a little reluctant, he still warned Zhou Xingchi again and again. He knew that Zhou Xingchi was a man who loved money as much as his life, but China Film's reputation was more important.

Zhou Xingchi opened his mouth, but in the end no words came out. In the Mainland, he still needs to rely on China Film Group.

At this time, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, instantly attracting the attention of several people in the office.

"Enter."

"Director La, Mr. Wang from Huayi, Mr. Liu from Wanda, Mr. Zhang from Alibaba... and Director Xu Ke are all already at the conference hall."

Hearing this, La Peikang immediately looked at Zhou Xingchi: "Let's go, Director Zhou, let's discuss "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons";

I hope it will shine during the Spring Festival like "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" in 2013 and "Mermaid" this year. "

"Okay, La Dong."

A few seconds later, Director La, Zhou Xingchi and others left the chairman's office and went straight to the China Film Conference Hall.

…

Near noon, the Hundred Flowers Awards Organizing Committee officially released the list of all participating films this year, attracting attention from the industry and gaining popularity online.

"The 33rd Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards announced this morning the list of all participating films.

Among them, "Get Out!" is exclusively produced and produced by Lin Nan Pictures. Five movies with high box office and high reputation, including "Tumor King", "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield", "Charlotte", "Hong Kong", and "The Secret of the Dragon" are all included in the public announcement documents. "

"It is reported that the military action film "Wolf Warrior" produced by Hongxingwu Pictures and directed by Wu Gan is also on the list of entries for the Hundred Flowers Awards."

"In response to the fact that director Lin Nan's films did not appear in the Hundred Flowers Awards registration list, the media has called Lin Nan Film Director Yue Jun;

The latter said in an interview: Because Director Lin already has a lot of awards, he himself declined the invitation and decided to give up as many opportunities as possible to other film works and filmmakers. "

The combination of the announcement of the Hundred Flowers Award registration list and Yue Jun's reply to the media interview directly suppressed the popularity of Wu Qilong and Liu Shishi's wedding, and there was even more heated discussion on the Internet.

"What does it mean to 'have a lot of awards...give as many opportunities as possible to other films and filmmakers'? This pretense is so fresh and refined, I admire it!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Director Lin is only in his early 30s, and now he starts to support 'newcomers'?"

"Upstairs, are you trying to laugh me to death? Do you know that all the 'newcomers' you talk about are older than Director Lin Nan! Haha..."

"I wonder how the Golden Rooster Committee feels at this moment? Director Lin's attitude towards Baihua is ten thousand times warmer than towards the Golden Rooster. I feel sorry for that chicken!"

"Isn't anyone paying attention? With these five films from Lin Nan Pictures together, they can almost sweep the 221 films that applied for the Hundred Flowers Award!"

"The films "Dear" directed by Peter Chan, "Heart of the Sun" directed by Cao Baoping, "Wolf Totem", "Monster Hunting" and "Old Paoer" are also worthy of a battle!"

…

In the afternoon, when Lin Nan left home and went to the company, Liu Yifei was taking a call from Shu Chang;

The latter was chattering with excitement. After all, she had two movies registered for the Hundred Flowers Award, and both of them had good reputations and box office. She had great hopes...

Originally, according to the regulations of co-productions, people from Lin Nan Pictures were not eligible to join the behind-the-scenes team of "Pacific Rim 2";

But who let Lin Nan Pictures and Crystal Pictures be the difference between Lin Nan's right and left hands, so this backdoor was opened naturally.

“Lin, Warner and Lionsgate’s plan is to start the project team in early May, so the departure time of the Chinese team is also early May.

In addition, your side also needs to start confirming the Chinese actors in the co-production by early May at the latest;

Because the team will then design makeup that suits the actors and make each person’s combat uniform based on their appearance and appearance..."

Tom's call was really on time. As soon as Lin Nan sat down, the call came.

"I know, Tom."

"Lin, after the filming starts, part of the scenes will be shot in China. I will come over to see you and Crystal then?"

"Then you have time to wait, it will take more than half a year. Well, I won't delay your time to spend the day and night."

Lin Nan could vaguely hear the sounds around Tom, it was very noisy; as for what the occasion was, hehe, there was no need to guess.

"Lin, say hello to Crystal for me, see you later, haha..."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan saw the news on the Internet that "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li", which Huayi participated in the investment, was scheduled to be released on July 15 during the summer vacation. Zhu Yawen also forwarded it on Weibo.

Thinking about it now, it turns out that Huayi was interested in Ye Ning as early as the first half of last year; so as one of the producers, they invited Ye Ning to be one of the producers? !

After handling some trivial documents, Lin Nan went to the screenwriting department and stayed for a long time.

The "Wandering Earth" project team is currently dismantling the novel. The workload is a bit large and the progress is indeed slow.

But don’t be anxious, because the most indispensable thing right now is time, and the key is to work slowly and carefully;

Moreover, Liu Diangong also agreed to serve as a screenwriter consultant and will provide help when the time comes to make the script as close to the atmosphere of the original work as possible to meet the expectations of all movie fans.

Arriving late and leaving early is the prerogative of Lin Nan, the boss.

And when he left the company at around four o'clock in the afternoon, many front-line and big names in the industry also received excited and excited calls one after another at the same time, including Zhang Yimou.

"Director Zhang, please be sure to attend LeTV Pictures' shareholders meeting in person on the 25th of this month."

"What exactly is it?"

Although there was a vague suspicion, Zhang Yimou still asked, with a rare joyful smile on his face.

"Regarding the subsequent disguised listing of the company and the realization of the value of the shares held by star shareholders, we need to inform, negotiate and discuss with all shareholders so that everyone can make a decision... You are the largest individual shareholder in the industry, please Be sure to be there!”

"Okay, okay, I will definitely go to the company in person on the 25th."

Zhang Yimou said the word "good" twice in a row, and he was already in a state of excitement.

His shares in LeTV Pictures are worth several hundred million if calculated based on current market valuation!

After working with Zhang Weiping for 16 years, he was "poor" for 16 years; didn't he make movies with all his heart? Pay attention! But...after the partnership broke up, he saw the income!

In just over an hour, nearly 20 first- and second-tier film and television stars and celebrities in the film and television industry, including Guo Jingming, Deng Chao, Sun Li Studio, Sun Honglei, Li Xiaolu, Feng Shaofeng, Huang Xiaoming, and Yang Ying, all received phone calls from LeTV Pictures.

Just like the shareholders' meetings held by many listed companies before listing, at this moment, all these people in the circle thought so and were all overjoyed.

In their eyes, LeTV Pictures is one of the best unlisted companies in the film and television industry;

Once it completes the disguised listing work and goes through the process, the stocks in their hands can be directly cashed in immediately, and the value will surely rise by more than a hundred times, and their own assets will increase dramatically!
