That year Huayu

Lionsgate and Lin Nan’s second film, “Insidious 1,” completed all post-production.

It took two months to complete a horror film, which is indeed Lionsgate style.

Wen Zairen contacted Lin Nan and asked him if he wanted to go and see it, because Lionsgate was about to arrange poster promotion and release.

There is also a "Chainsaw 3" to be made later, and Wen Tsairen is the producer of this project.

Lin Nan was planning to go over a few days before "Insidious 1" was released, just in time to take a look at the companies that Tom had screened out.

Liu Yifei's "The Condor" has been launched to great fanfare.

I have to say that Master Jin’s novel is indeed more attractive to the audience than the adaptation of Liang’s novel.

"Seven Swords" has Yang Ba's blessing, but compared to "The Condor", it doesn't seem to be as topical.

Xiao Longnu appeared for the first time. She was cold and stern in white clothes, with a cold beauty. The crew designed the fight scenes very beautifully.

"Sissi is so beautiful, just a little bit worse than me."

Shu Chang smiled without any humility.

Lin Nan watched a few episodes with Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, and the task was not completed until Yang Guo, played by Huang Xiaoming, appeared.

At first, Lin Nan was so confused that she didn't pay attention to the premiere of Liu Yifei's "Dragon" and "Sword of Immortality". This time, she was reminded several days in advance.

"She's a bit oily. She does look much older than Sissi's little dragon girl."

Shu Chang was chirping and commenting from the side.

"I can't watch the show with you anymore, I have to go visit the class."

Lin Nan said to Liu Yifei.

"Then go ahead and be safe."

Liu Yifei knew the priorities, and there was no trace of disappointment on her delicate cheeks, but concern.

…

Kang Honglei is an impatient person. He is currently interpreting the script with the actors, ready to turn on the camera at any time. He invites Lin Nan to visit the team. After all, he is also the producer.

Lin Nan did not refuse this matter. Visiting the team was a must. The first TV series invested by the company needed more attention and attention.

A director with Kang Honglei's resume can get a lot of help when shooting military themes.

Although Bayi Factory did not invest this time, it still provided support to its old friends and contacted many military locations to help Kang Honglei with the filming.

These are all related to Director Kang. It would be a bit troublesome for Lin Nan. He would probably have to ask Han Sanping for help.

Lin Nan flew to Caiyunzhinan, where the TV series is currently being filmed.

Yue Jun got into work quickly. He had been working at Qingying Factory for the past few years, and there was no need to adjust his status. Now he is working for Lin Nan, and his salary is twice that at Qingying Factory. He has a bright future.

This is indeed a man's drama, and the leading role was given to Wang Baoqiang by Lin Nan intentionally or unintentionally.

Kang Honglei is in great condition and has been waiting for the day to start filming for a long time.

"I'm going to take advantage of my hands to get warm and finish the filming in one go. If nothing else happens, I'll finish it in about three months!"

Maybe he had been holding it in for a long time, Lin Nan had heard Kang Honglei say a lot.

This script has been out for a long time and has been delayed by funding issues. He went through the filming process many times in his mind and perfected it time and time again.

"Anything is fine, it's up to you."

Lin Nan complimented.

The schedule was tight, and some actors had not yet arrived for their roles, but they were on the set.

Lin Nan had a meal with everyone, which was considered a meeting.

Some people don't talk about character. Anyway, Lin Nan promised not to interfere in the casting, so he doesn't care about it now.

"Director Lin, long time no see."

Wang Baoqiang's smile is almost the same as in "A World Without Thieves", and it looks really sincere.

"Long time no see. How have you been in the past two years?"

Honest people can always make people relax their vigilance and feel good about them.

"It's pretty good. I played Nezha some time ago..."

Lin Nan wanted to laugh when he said this. In "Legendary Fantasy Yin Shang", Shu Chang played Tong Yao in the first part, and Wang Baoqiang played Nezha in the second part, but his appearance was very shocking.

"Director Lin, hello, I am Li Chen from Huayi..."

"Hello, Director Lin, I am Zhang Yi."

"...I am Duan Yihong."

…

Lin Nan estimated that the two presidents, Mr. and Mrs. Wang, were definitely enjoying themselves. Of the leading actors, less than half were Hua Yi's.

Lin Nan intentionally notified the media about this visit, and Hua Yi didn't mind helping to promote it, so the online reports were much more detailed.

"Lin Nan's first TV series is a military theme, not a costume drama!"

"They are all big men, no love, no women!"

…

Last year, Golden Rooster defeated Gu Changwei, Lu Chuan, Ning Hao and Lin Nan's "The Two of Us" to be released.

After Lin Nan returned to the capital, he even went to the cinema to watch it. He spent the price of a person's ticket and enjoyed the exclusive treatment.

I have to admit that this film was very well made. It has more warmth than "Into the Dust", and there is warmth in the cold words. His film was too bitter.

Unfortunately, it was abandoned by theaters within three or four days of its release. It received high ratings and unanimously positive reviews from audiences, but the combined national box office did not reach six figures.

"This is sometimes the case. If you give an award to any work, it can be justified, but the box office is really a bit embarrassing."

Ning Hao also looked regretful. He would also read the works that won awards in the same period and learn from each other's strengths.

I went to the cinema with Xing Aina. There were a total of six people in the screening room. It was still the first day.

"Has all the distribution matters been settled?"

"It's done. Just promote it a little more before it's released in China. Don't worry about it abroad. Those promotional posters and videos are enough."

Lin Nan replied.

Because Ning Hao was just a guest appearance, I didn't drag him along during the promotions. I just took a symbolic poster.

In the next three months, almost all movies related to Lin Nan will be released, and the promotion of "Insidious 1" has spread in North America.

Lionsgate's strength is horror films. The last film "Dead Silence" with Lin Nan made a lot of money, and judging from the current publicity, "Insidious" is obviously the first film in the series.

"Time Cruise" is scheduled to be released on May 1st, and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is scheduled to be released in June.

…

Liu Yifei's popularity has reached a new level, unparalleled among young actors born in the 1980s!

In the second round, there were a large number of satellite TV bids for "The Condor", and the schedule was directed towards the Golden Week.

"You are the best now. No TV series in this period can compare to "The Condor"..."

Liu Xiaoli held her daughter's face and was extremely excited.

Several TV series have accumulated incredible audience popularity for my daughter, especially the current Little Dragon Girl. The road to the big screen will definitely be very smooth in the future.

What Liu Xiaoli said is not an exaggeration. A large number of TV stations and media have predicted that even if "The Legend of White Snake" is launched on May 1st in Central China, it will be difficult to steal the limelight of "The Condor", let alone the current batch of "The Condor". What a drama.

"Mom, how can you be so complimentary..."

Liu Yifei said a little embarrassed.

"Okay, it's a good thing to be modest. By the way, Lin Nan didn't say when you will set off?"

Liu Xiaoli asked.

New Line was gathering the main creators to shoot a promotional video, and New Line specifically notified Lin Nan of Liu Yifei's side, who would be the actor he provided.

"We'll set off in the next two days," Liu Yifei said.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Liu Xiaoli said without doubt.

Seeing her daughter feel a little discouraged, Mother Liu ignored her.

March was coming to an end, and Liu Xiaoli flew to Los Angeles with her daughter, assistant, and Lin Nan.

"Little Dragon Girl has recently gone to New Line Cinema to shoot a promotional video for the 3D science fiction blockbuster "Journey to the Center of the Earth", and director Lin Nan is accompanying her as a collaborator."

Hollywood has great influence, but it only covers a small area. Lin Nan specially sent Liu Yifei and the others to New Line before they separated.

"Where is he going?"

Liu Xiaoli asked.

"His movie with Lionsgate is coming out, and he has to go to Santa Monica."

Liu Yifei opened her mouth and said that she knew more than Liu Xiaoli, and Lin Nan had told her everything.

Mother Liu nodded, "Let's go in."

…

"Lin, I can guarantee that you will be satisfied with one of these families."

Tom said proudly as he drove the car.

"Then let's wait until the business is done and then we'll see."

Lin Nan understood Tom's mood, and he hadn't stopped talking since he sent Liu Yifei to Xinxian.

According to James Wan, Lionsgate's marketing department unanimously believed that "Insidious" would be more successful than "Dead Silence."

Because the script is no longer just about exaggerating the horror atmosphere, but it is based on the strong family relationship between father and son. The concept has depth, which will definitely add a lot of points to this movie.

"Lin, let's not talk about the release of your movie. Let's take a look at the finished film."

Several foreigners invited Lin Nan to watch the finished film "Insidious" first. In their opinion, this horror film is more profitable.

"Insidious" is already on the shelves of North American theaters, just waiting to be released.

Tom followed Lin Nan into the viewing room. The nearly 100-minute movie stimulated everyone's nerves at all times, making you both scared and unable to help but want to watch it.

Wen Tsai-ren is really talented in this aspect. The script is only two-dimensional. Even if there are sub-shots, different directors will produce similar films.

But in horror films, Wen Tsai-ren can always find the most suitable shooting angle, the best picture and visual effects.

"Director Lin, I personally participated in the editing of this film."

Wen Ziren has black-rimmed eyes, giving Lin Nan the feeling of a young man staying up late at an Internet cafe.

"Director Wen, please take some rest." Lin Nan couldn't help but say.

"Haha, it did take a few days, but this time it was released simultaneously, so I had to be careful."

Last time "Dead Silence" was released in North America, it was nearly a week ahead of other regions. I didn't expect that it would be released together this time.

"It seems they are very optimistic about the market for this movie."

Lin Nan couldn't help but get a little excited when he thought of this. He had 20%.

"Lin Nan, don't be in a hurry to leave this time. You can wait until the movie opens at the box office." Wen Ziren said.

"Don't worry, I will stay for a while. There is still something going on at the New Line." Lin Nan replied.

"That's good. New Line's movie is confirmed to be introduced to the mainland, and it's done so quickly, which makes a lot of people jealous."

This is true. In the past few years, any imported film has not been delayed again and again, and it is not a good time to release it.

As long as everyone is not a fool, they will all understand why the introduction of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" was so smooth because of the investment there.

Lin Nan estimated that some Hollywood companies would come up with this idea in the future and accept some mainland investment to facilitate their entry into this market, or even co-produce films.

It’s unclear whether it’s a good project or not, but with the stubbornness of Hollywood, how can good projects be given to outsiders? Most of them will be leftovers that are uncertain or disdainful.
