That year Huayu

Han Sanping's efficiency is surprisingly high.

"We strongly advocate this kind of project. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration and China Aviation Industry Corporation have also asked you to provide necessary technical assistance and personnel support to the film..."

Lin Nan followed Han Sanping to the Film Office, then the Space Administration, and the Aerospace Science and Engineering Industry.

There is no turning back once the bow is fired. Next, a professional team is needed to study the budget issue.

Aviation Science and Technology has promised to provide a team of 20 people for the film project, responsible for the design and technical support of a series of props, and can start work at any time. These are all green lights.

Han Sanping leaned on his chair and discussed financial issues with Lin Nan.

The budget is being worked on by Lin Nan's team and the China Film Group team. The staff has been expanding very rapidly in the past few months, and people are being hired in all functional departments.

Han Sanping was determined to invest, after all, he had provided so much help.

"We will talk about investment when the budget comes out. To be honest, this film will not take long even if it is shot. The time is spent on pre-production, scene setting and long post-production."

Lin Nan paused and looked at Han Sanping, "Mr. Han, if this movie is going to be made, we have to be mentally prepared for it to be released in one or two years."

"Haha, this is natural. Listen to me this time and keep the budget confidential before it comes out."

Lin Nan shook his head. Han Sanping was still thinking about this. After "The Promise", China Film's large investment would probably be severely limited.

"Mr. Han, for this kind of thing, it's better to get a few more people to share the risk."

Lin Nan suggested that the pressure to recover costs for large-scale productions will be relatively high.

Han Sanping, who was originally smiling, also stopped smiling and fell into thinking.

The Hundred Flowers Award contacted Lin Nan again, and this time he gave a clear answer. He was unable to go because of his schedule, and "Time Cruise" would not participate in the selection.

So what if you go to the messy award ceremony? Lin Nan suddenly figured it out after the last golden rooster. When he was not sure about winning the award, he would not join in the fun and carry the sedan chair for others.

The news that "Time Cruiser" declined the Hundred Flowers Award is no small matter. It is the highest-grossing domestic film since "Hero", and Lin Nan is the only member of the 200 million club.

After it was confirmed that Lin Nan would not be coming, the Hundred Flowers Awards began the shortlisting process.

Unlike Lin Nan's new movie, which is kept secret, Zhou Xingchi's new movie has been promoted. It's an alien-themed family movie, and the new star girl is also good-looking.

It's just that Huang Shengyi's signing of a new company is a bit unreasonable. The lawsuit has not been settled and the contract has not been terminated. It is just like this, and the media is happy to watch it.

Lin Nan was at home, trying to recall the deepest shadows in his mind, the clips from The Martian, and drawing sketches, which could be used as reference for the Aerospace Science and Engineering team later.

Tired of painting, Lin Nan went to find Liu Yifei, but the nanny said that both mother and daughter were not there, and they left in a hurry.

This made Lin Nan very surprised. What kind of thing could make Liu's mother, who always pays attention to dignified behavior, in a hurry.

An hour ago, Liu Xiaoli received a phone call, which was an audition invitation, personally called by Wang Zhonglei from Huayi.

In the suburban manor, Liu Xiaoli took her daughter and assistant to meet Wang Zhonglei of Huayi, as well as many staff members.

"Mr. Wang, what kind of film is it? You only said it was a large-scale co-production, but you didn't reveal any information." Liu Xiaoli asked.

"Ms. Liu, Yifei, don't worry yet." Wang Zhonglei kept smiling.

"This is an action movie, with Asia's top cast, co-produced by China and the United States. We are also optimistic about Yifei, so we called you and invited you to audition."

"How long will it take to decide?" Liu Xiaoli asked.

"Auditions for female roles will last for half a year, with choices from all over Asia. You can't decide in one or two auditions..."

This is true, Liu Xiaoli knew that the question she just asked was stupid.

Liu Yifei glanced around. Until now, she didn't know what she was going to audition for.

"Follow me, and the assistant won't go there."

…

Lin Nan originally wanted to call and ask, but in the end he endured it, just in case something really happened.

Liu Yifei was auditioning, while Wang Zhonglei and Liu Xiaoli were waiting outside.

"Our planned production cost for this movie is US$70 million, which would be more than US$500 million domestically. Huayi is a domestic investor. This kind of movie is comparable to science fiction movies like "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and is more expensive. Can praise actors..."

Wang Zhonglei said slowly.

Liu Xiaoli nodded and said nothing.

"Yifei auditioned for the female lead, and this drama has two male leads. Jet Li has been confirmed as one of the leading actors, and Jackie Chan is being contacted to play the other male lead..."

Liu Xiaoli's eyes widened before Wang Zhonglei finished speaking.

"Yifei is just one of the actors auditioning. Ms. Liu and Yifei need to keep the crew secret."

"Okay, I understand these common sense, but Mr. Wang, I don't know what the probability of Yifei's success is?" Liu Xiaoli asked eagerly.

"I don't know. It depends on the director's choice. With such a huge production cost, we can't afford to be careless."

Liu Xiaoli only had a few words left in her mind at this time: more than five billion, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Sino-US co-production.

Not long after, Liu Yifei came out with a smile on her face.

"Sissi, how are you?" Liu Xiaoli asked hurriedly.

"The director thinks my martial arts performance is very good." Liu Yifei said.

"Martial arts?"

Liu Xiaoli was relieved when she remembered that Wang Zhonglei was indeed talking about an action movie just now, plus Jet Li and Jackie Chan.

"Then Mr. Wang, let's take our leave first."

"Okay, please."

Liu Xiaoli took her daughter and went out.

Wang Zhonglei walked into the audition place, "Director Minkoff, how did that girl's audition go?"

A foreigner said happily: "She has a foundation in kung fu and is very good. The Chinese kung fu she just performed is very beautiful. I think she can continue to participate in the subsequent auditions. I look forward to her going to the end."

This answer gave Wang Zhonglei an idea.

Minkoff's team invited Liu Yifei by name. If Liu Yifei could audition to the end and really get the role, he could tell Liu Xiaoli that it was Huayi's contribution.

Even if we can't get the leading role, with Minkoff's recognition, there should be no problem with the female supporting role. When the time comes, Hua Yi and Liu Xiaoli will be paired up. It can still be said that this is Hua Yi's help, and we are very sure of signing Liu Yifei. .

He has been communicating with Liu Xiaoli since "Dragon", but in the past few years he has not been able to get a financial contract from Liu Yifei. Now that the latter is the most popular new generation actress, Hua Yi is even more coveted.

"Sissi, Mr. Wang just said that the auditions for this play also need to be kept confidential."

"Well, the director and the others just reminded me that invitations to auditions need to be kept confidential, and the casting selection will be made public in a while."

Liu Yifei nodded and said, hesitating a little, "Can't you tell Lin Nan then?"

Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter's frowning expression and was a little speechless. If she didn't leave Lin Nan's words, she would suffer a loss sooner or later.

She held her daughter's face and said, "After the casting is made public, everyone will know."

"okay."

Liu Yifei said reluctantly that she still wanted to talk to Lin Nan about this.

The team of Aviation Science and Technology got Lin Nan's script, requirements and some sketches, and began to enter the design process.

For Mars rovers, habitation modules, space suits, alien surface work clothes, rockets, space stations, etc., the team began a film and television design, removing elements that were not suitable for film in reality, while retaining some scientific principles.

Tom didn't expect that Lin Nan would really want to do this scene by himself. Regarding the post-production special effects, his suggestion was that if you were pressed for time, go to New Line or Lionsgate.

If you are not in a hurry, you can give part of it to the team of Crystal Films and package the rest.

It’s best to leave part of it for Crystal Pictures.

That is to say, the company's team is not large, which may affect efficiency. Otherwise, Tom suggests doing it all by himself.

Lin Nan is a person who listens to advice and thinks this is a good idea. Crystal Films' recruitment cannot stop.

The Institute of Geology is also very efficient, providing Lin Nan with many real-life shooting locations to choose from.

Among them, the Hongya area was recommended to Lin Nan, and detailed geological information was attached.

Lin Nan believed it without looking at the information and only saw a name.

"Red Cliff Danxia Landform!"

Wasn't the first Mars simulation base in China built here in a lifetime?

At this moment, Lin Nan had decided on the location for the actual shooting. He only had to wait for the budget team to come out with the results before he could start raising funds and start the project.

Kang Honglei's "Soldier Assault" had just been edited, and several TV stations approached him, purely because of Lin Nan's reputation.

“How much does a single episode cost?”

"Twenty thousand, your name needs to be listed in the producer column." Yue Jun said.

"Haha, it's more than 3,000. If I don't sell it, an episode of this bloody ethics drama will cost 4 to 50,000. Let's wait until Tudou releases it."

In my memory, "Soldiers Assault" at that time was really miserable. After filming, they were anxious to sell the film. But the TV station's criteria for judging were: whether there were celebrities, whether the director was a famous director, whether the script was well-known, and whether the plot was terrible or not. Blood.

"Soldier Assault" was not related at all. In the end, an episode was sold for 3,000 yuan. It became so popular that it was even owed nearly half of the final payment by dozens of TV stations.

"Okay, I'll reject them right now."

Yue Jun also responded simply. He knew that Lin Nan was angry. He had also watched this TV series. It was an absolute masterpiece. He just waited for Dodou to get a good reputation. He didn't have to worry about the TV station not bidding.

Not long after Yue Jun rejected those TV stations, Wang Changtian called.

"Twenty thousand is indeed a bit of a pick-up. Again, if you want me to help you, I still have some respect. For a military drama, it's okay to give you a tenfold increase..."

"I signed a contract with Tudou Video, and I plan to go directly to the online platform and get a share of the click-through rate..."

Lin Nan said that only his company and Tudou knew about this matter.

"Then you are really brave. Not many production companies dare to try this novel method..."

Wang Changtian was a bit nagging today, and Lin Nan felt something was wrong.

"Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it. It's not like we just met." Lin Nan smiled.

"Haha, I can't hide it from you. Let me tell you about your project."

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing, Lin Nan has realized this.

"How do you know? Mr. Han is still arguing about keeping it a secret?" Lin Nan simply said it.

"There are a few acquaintances at the space agency..."

When Wang Changtian pointed it out, Lin Nan understood.

"I'm still making a budget. This time the investment may be a bit large. When it comes out, I will notify my brother. Don't spread it anymore to save trouble."

Lin Nan reminded.

"Okay, with your words, I can rest assured, brother, and I will never talk too much."
