That year Huayu

Zhang Yimou's joy can be seen throughout the film and television industry.

Because he had been unusually low-key in the past, this year he actually agreed with the studio and Chen Ting to directly update the photos of his birthday party on his official Weibo and personal Weibo, and the whole family appeared in the photo.

Countless people in the circle know that the reason why Guoshi can share this for the first time is that he has just become an individual shareholder of LeTV, entered the ranks of capital, and his net worth has skyrocketed!

And under Chen Ting's Weibo post, "Last year's birthday, "The Great Wall" was filming; this year's birthday, "The Great Wall" is in post-production; I've been busy for the past two years, happy birthday, I wish The Great Wall a big hit", almost the entire film and television entertainment industry Everyone in the film industry is cheering, wishing "The Great Wall" a box office hit and wishing Zhang Yi a happy birthday.

Because in everyone's eyes, Zhang Yimou is no longer just a top director, he is also a capital: therefore, this flattery needs to be filmed more enthusiastically.

And unlike Director Zhang Da, who is low-key and unsociable, the director's wife happens to be a rare breakthrough point. After all, she always likes to post Weibo related to the National Master no matter what!

"So, Zhang Yimou married Chen Ting after he separated from Gong Li. Because she is a very traditional Chinese woman who does not act like a monster. Her wife follows her husband as her guide. Director Zhang Da is her god..."

After returning from the company in the morning, Lin Nan remembered an equally important thing; but when he called Wang Changtian, the latter started nagging again.

Wang Changtian's words frightened Director Lin, who was driving the speakerphone, and quickly looked behind him and to his left and right... Women in the new era should not listen to such rubbish as "a wife follows her husband."

"Director Wang, I was going to tell you about the movie schedule. Why did you stray to the issue of Director Zhang being an extreme male chauvinist? Are you very prejudiced against us Northwest men?"

"Hey, don't blame me. I'm just analyzing it. Isn't the news on the Internet all about Zhang Yimou's birthday in Hollywood? Okay, okay, which movie schedule are you talking about?"

Wang Changtian changed the topic with a smile and asked.

"Have you said before that after "Passing Through Your World" is completed, it will be scheduled for the second half of the year?"

"Yeah, the production cycle of this movie is very short, so it's just right to put it in the second half of the year."

"The second half of the year is fine, but don't go to the Lunar New Year stall." Lin Nan warned solemnly.

"I'm not planning to go to the Lunar New Year stalls. The marketing department is planning for the National Day stalls. How can such a small-scale comedy and romance film be crushed to pieces in the Lunar New Year stalls? It's pure cannon fodder!"

"That's good, that's good. The National Day movie is quite suitable, so let's go play that "Legend of the Lord"." After hearing Wang Changtian's words, Lin Nan felt more relieved.

"Why did you say that? What happened?"

"I originally planned to put "Operation Mekong" on the National Day schedule as well!"

"Which one is this good?" Wang Changtian was anxious.

"Don't worry. It was just changed to the Lunar New Year schedule yesterday morning. It was the Ministry's wish! That's why I'm here to remind you that it will be staggered with the schedule of "Operation Mekong"."

When Wang Changtian heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could say anything, Lin Nan added: "As far as I know, the movie "Railway Tigers" is also a Lunar New Year movie."

For a moment, there was dead silence on the other end of the phone; after a long time, Wang Changtian's voice came, but his tone was much more serious:

"Don't remind me? But if you do, it doesn't seem appropriate? What do you think?"

What does Lin Nan think? He thought about it for a long time in the company yesterday morning.

"Don't remind me! Director Ren and Jackie Chan 'invited' me to a Hongmen Banquet after the General Administration's meeting the year before last. Due to favors, it was just like that. Anyway, I had nothing to do at that time.

Later, Director Ren asked me if I had any good suggestions for the schedule of "Railway Tigers", and I told them face to face that if I didn't report them publicly and boycott them, I would be doing my best.

Now remind me, what is that? Since you dare to film and release it to the public, you must be mentally prepared to face all the negative pressure and censure from top to bottom after the release... There is no way to escape it. "

Lin Nan is right, "Railway Tigers" cannot be evaded, it cannot evade public opinion, let alone the higher-ups...

"That's right. It's right not to remind you. But, haha, there's something exciting to watch during the Lunar New Year festival."

Wang Changtian smacked his lips and joked. After a while, he became serious again:

“After they make the schedule public, we will set the schedule and make our attitude clear.

The funniest thing is Shanghai Film Studio, which is both the main controller of "Railway Tigers" and a participating investor in "Operation Mekong". Although it only has 5%... just wait and see! "

More than half an hour later, Lin Nan had just put down her phone when she saw Liu Yifei coming back from outside wearing high heels.

Wearing a white casual suit, carrying a bag, and wearing a bun, she looked like a strong woman and urban beauty who came home from get off work, but she was also full of youthful atmosphere.

"Wu Gan and Xie Nan didn't ask you to have lunch?"

"No. Wu Gan is busy packing his bags. He will lead the team abroad for training tomorrow. I don't want to be a light bulb and disturb the couple too much."

Liu Yifei put the bag in her hand on the table, took off her coat, squeezed to Lin Nan and leaned against her, looking very lazy.

"I originally thought we wouldn't set off until the middle of the month."

Lin Nan smiled and shook his head. The battles in "Wolf Warrior 2" are much bigger than those in "Wolf Warrior". Wu Gaan was relieved and received huge support from the army.

"Well, look at the news. When I left Dengfeng International, they had just contacted our three companies. By now, the joint announcement on the fixed angle should have been issued."

While she was talking, Miss Liu even kicked off her high heels and curled up on the sofa.

Lin Nan swiped the tablet, and the news of "Wolf Warrior 2" did appear on Weibo's hot search list.

“In the morning, Hongxingwu, Guangguang, Dengfeng International Pictures, and Lin Nan Pictures issued a joint announcement:

Directed by director Wu Gen, starring Wu Gen, Frank Grillo, Lu Jingshan, Wu Gang, Yu Nan, Yu Qian and others, with an investment of up to 200 million yuan, the military-themed commercial blockbuster "Wolf Warrior 2" will set off abroad today …Carry out 30 to 60 days of military-style training and familiarity with the filming location…”

…

China Film.

If there is no work to do, Li An rarely runs around, let alone coming to China Film.

"The last movie was "Life of Pi", which was released in China in November. This time it will be released in November, right?"

As a top international director with two Golden Bears, two Golden Lions, and two Oscars for Best Director, Li An certainly has no objection to his opinion.

"Yeah, sure. As for Director Li, what forum are you talking about?"

"Yes, Director La. I hope that China Film can cooperate with me in sending a letter of intent to Nortel and hold a 'Director Forum' at the Film School, inviting the best domestic film directors to come and exchange new film technologies... and also to build momentum for film promotion... "

"No problem, is this a good thing? Nearly 80-90% of the great directors in China are from Nortel, so it is just right to hold the 'Director Forum' there. The school is also very happy to come."

Not long after, after La Peikang sent Li An out of the office, his secretary hurried over with a happy face.

"La Dong, I called Director Zhang Yimou's studio. The post-production of "The Great Wall" was completely completed a few hours ago. Relevant emails from Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures will probably be sent soon."

"good!"

Upon hearing this, La Peikang couldn't help but shout "Hello", with a smile on his face.

The two blockbusters "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" and "The Great Wall" are his biggest "political achievements", and both will be released this year.

"Confirm with Universal and Legendary the arrangements for global distribution, as well as the schedule of the Chinese film market and the North American market, the two largest film markets in the world. Try to release it simultaneously during the domestic Lunar New Year period..."

"Okay, La Dong."

Looking at his secretary's back as he turned to leave, La Peikang could not hide his excitement; he relied on these two top-notch masterpieces from top directors and global distribution to support him and China Film Group!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. La Peikang couldn't wait, "It doesn't matter if you don't have "Pacific Rim 2". With these two movies, it's completely enough! Haha..."

…

Among the few movies released on April Fool's Day, two of them, "My Grandpa the Agent" and "Hot Pot Hero", were somewhat impressive at the box office.

The former closed at 168 million in the first three days of the weekend, while the latter closed at 140 million. As for other movies, they are just backdrops and cannon fodder.

Let’s talk about the TV drama market, that’s much more interesting.

"Tornado Eleven" starring Hu Ge and his ex-girlfriend Jiang Shuying is extremely miserable.

After all, in reality, everyone agrees that when filming this drama, the woman went for the man's fame; after taking advantage of the man's reputation, she quickly became a celebrity and broke up immediately.

Under this consensus of public opinion, how many people are willing to watch a TV series where these two show their affection? They all think it’s fake and disgusting!

There is no doubt that Tangren has been cheated. This football-themed TV series may not be able to recover the cost, and the probability of losing money is very high.

Let’s talk about the movie “Martial God Zhao Zilong” starring Lin Gengxin and South Korea’s Girls’ Generation’s Lin Yoona;

Good guy, the Internet is really full of criticism!

The colorful costume props and completely brainless plot have really blinded countless historical parties. Of course, except for the crazy fans.

The time came on the morning of the 5th.

A public announcement from the Film Bureau directly topped the list of hot searches on Weibo and landed on the headlines of major entertainment sections.

The "Pacific Rim 2" project, which has been kept low-key for a long time, has been officially revealed to the entire Chinese film and television entertainment industry.

"Reprinted from the official website of the Film Bureau, co-production film announcement information:

"The big change in the production line-up of the Sino-US co-production "Pacific Rim 2" can't help but arouse people's imagination... Before today, this co-production movie project was kept extremely confidential, and no news leaked out..."
