That year Huayu
Chapter 25 October
The Hundred Flowers Award Ceremony is over, and it’s the Golden Rooster Award’s turn.
If the Hundred Flowers Award is an audience-oriented film award, then the Golden Rooster Award is the most authoritative and professional film award in the domestic film industry.
Ni Ping is the host of the Golden Rooster Awards.
Zhang Yimou, who is famous internationally, seems to be not worth mentioning in the eyes of these committee members.
In the Best Story Award and Best Director Award, "House of Flying Daggers" lost to "Beautiful City".
Best Actor Liu Ye, "Beauty Grass".
The best heroine is Zhang Ziyi, the heroine of "Jasmine Blooms" and "Beautiful Magic City".
The best supporting actor award also comes from "Beautiful Magic City", and there is no female supporting actor.
"With a box office of 150 million, what did the jury think? They just gave it the Best Art Award?"
Even Zhu Yawen had questions, and the atmosphere was awkward.
The crew of "House of Flying Daggers" was a little depressed, but Director Zhang symbolically applauded the winners, while the "Cell Phone" team was completely wiped out.
The bosses of private film companies are not very smiling. They want to make commercial films to make money, but the Golden Rooster Awards obviously favor literary films.
"If you look at the list of judges, they are all 'artists' from the film studio era. If you calculate the average age, commercial films are deviant in their eyes..."
Lin Nan looked forward and answered Zhu Yawen while applauding.
"Would there be any problems if we do this?"
"Yes, commercial films will become mainstream as the economy develops, which will eventually force film festivals to pay attention to commercial films, because genres such as literary and artistic films cannot promote the development of the industry, and art also needs money to nourish it."
After the awards night, the officials wanted to retain people to hold art seminars and analyze industry development, but almost all private film companies left, and the big directors also excused themselves as being busy. Only those directors with names from various units and their own people remained. With.
Lin Nan also received the invitation, "Sorry, I have to rush back to class."
The news on the portal website is direct, and the opening chapter is:
“The high-box office commercial film failed Golden Rooster!”
"Director Feng's face was black throughout the whole process."
…
On the train back to Beijing, there were only Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen, two women flying.
"After I go back, I will sign a contract with the company. The last advertisement was a contract that the teacher helped to read."
"Have you started accepting ads? Okay, how much will it cost?"
Lin Nan was shocked by Zhu Yawen's words. He had never heard of it.
"Then who have you decided to sign for?" Lin Nan asked again.
Zhu Yawen nodded, "In the past few days of the film festival, I took the time to meet Wang Jinghua from Huayi."
Zhu Yawen didn't carry anyone on her back in those days, so Lin Nan could guess it.
"Now that you've decided, let's sign it. You have to make a clear distinction between signing it for her or signing it for Hua Yi."
Lin Nan has told Zhu Yawen several times about this.
"I know."
"I wish you a long journey."
Lin Nan said sincerely, anyway, his company really didn't think about signing actors. Once they sign actors, they have to spend energy on finding resources and all kinds of things.
He is lazy and doesn't want the pressure of taking care of people.
"The promotion of "Return to Youth" needs to be intensified. It will be more than a week before we go back. We have to get back to work. The Guangzhou Lighting Company has arranged many interviews. Senior Sister Yan and Shu Chang will also come over to join the promotion and be prepared."
Lin Nan reminded Zhu Yawen not to miss the main business because of signing the contract.
On the 21st, Lin Nan returned to school, said hello and left again.
With Zhu Yawen, Yan Danchen and Shu Chang, several young people began to meet reporters one by one and entered the studio.
Guangguang has rich resources in this area, and Wang Changtian started in this field.
"Director Lin, how did you come up with the idea of writing this script in the first place?"
"Well, it's just random thoughts. You know, people sometimes like to think about things when they can't sleep. Just like this, they have an idea. Who doesn't want to be young again?"
Every day with his eyes open as a reporter and his eyes closed on the microphone, Lin Nan needs to make up countless stories to satisfy all kinds of questions.
On the other side, there is also enthusiastic publicity. "Kekexili" focuses on human nature, law, and life.
Huayi's publicity is not inferior to Lin Nan's. Due to the nature of the film, it has received support from many official media. Lin Nan has no complaints about this. This film deserves this.
"The Condor", which Zhang Dabeard has been marketing for half a year, is finally about to be launched.
Actor Huang Xiaoming plays Yang Guo, and Liu Yifei plays Xiao Longnu after Wang Yuyan. The latter is a perfect match for Hong Kong actor Li Ruotong, and it became very popular for a while.
"The crew is about to start filming, so don't forget to visit the crew."
Lin Nan crouched and walked away, while Yan Danchen was being interviewed. She is the heroine of "Return to Youth", and this movie is a heroine movie.
"I can't forget it. How about I visit your class at the end of October?"
Lin Nan whispered and ran backstage.
"Why do you have such a weird voice? Are you in class? Shouldn't you be doing some promotion?"
"In the studio, I just ran backstage. Senior Danchen was being interviewed." Lin Nan's voice became louder.
"Well, I wish you a great success at the box office. If you still lie to me, I won't let you go. I'll hang up."
"No, no." Lin Nan smiled and put the phone in his pocket.
"What are Director Lin laughing at? Are you so happy?"
Yan Danchen ended the interview and saw Lin Nan's smile as soon as he arrived backstage.
"It's nothing. You can rest after today. Let's check the results on National Day."
Lin Nan rejected China Film's suggestion to hold a premiere. The investment was only so small, so holding a premiere was not cost-effective.
On the 30th, no one was promoting anymore. Lin Nan asked everyone to go their separate ways. It is not a few years from now when we have to run around the country to promote the movie for the sake of box office results. The more it is released, the more we have to run.
Including Lin Nan, "Return to Youth" has four producers, and the publicity has been very strong. As for the result, it is left to the audience and God's will.
The 30th was Thursday, and Lin Nan ran to class. The teacher looked at Lin Nan, who was still a little dazed. Shouldn't he be watching movies at this time?
On National Day, "Return to Youth" and "Kekexili" were released at the same time, and other movies followed. The first two were promoted the most, and "New Police Story" has been released for a week.
Lin Nan was alone in the dormitory, and the two people who slept together had only lived together for two months during their freshman year.
Lin Nan has always believed that a college career would not be complete without living in a college dormitory for a few years.
He was sitting in front of the computer, with a penguin on his back, and his mobile phone beside him. On the screen was a portal website with all kinds of news.
The news just came out that "Return to Youth" is very popular. In contrast, "Kekexili" is really no one cares about.
This is inevitable. There was no "Return to Youth" at that time, and in the end "Kekexili" only received about 6 million at the box office.
At present, the main opponent of "Back to Youth" is "New Police Story", which will be released on September 24.
Penguins are flashing and phones are vibrating.
Lin Nan didn't look at her phone and chose to reply to Penguin. Each one was full of nice auspicious words and blessings.
"Thank you Miss Long for taking the time to contribute to the box office of my movie..."
"Hey, Mr. Wang, I haven't received it yet. It won't be until the early morning at least. Please wait."
Mr. Wang from Guangguang called and was very polite.
It stands to reason that he didn't know when the first day's box office would be released, so he called to talk about it at four o'clock in the afternoon. His attitude was obvious and he meant to be close.
On the entertainment news side, there are photos of the theater taken by reporters.
The calls came in one after another, most of them were classmates I knew, and they had all gone to the theater to support Lin Nan.
"How you came up with such a plot is really fascinating."
"Senior Sister Yan is so beautiful!"
In the performance department level 02 group, some people are already talking about "Return to Youth".
Although Lin Nan is now a student in the directing department, he is still in the group of the acting department. There are too few people in the directing department and there is no group. Lin Nan usually communicates less with them.
His friends are mainly students from two schools.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Lin Nan turned off his mobile phone. He wanted to have a good sleep and listen to the box office results tomorrow, otherwise he would suffer from insomnia in the second half of the night.
No one knocked on the door in the morning, and Lin Nan was still a little uncomfortable.
Well, Zhu Yawen seems to have returned home. At the end of September, he signed a contract with Wang Jinghua.
Get dressed, wash your face and brush your teeth, and finally turn on your phone solemnly.
Text messages kept ringing, all reminders of missed calls in the early morning.
As soon as I pressed the computer start button, the phone call came in.
"Lin Nan, the box office yesterday was 9.23 million, this movie is going to be a hit, hahaha."
China Film, Shanghai Film and Television's calls were all front and back, and Lin Nan listened to it three times at the box office on the first day.
"We'll do it, we'll do it, just let me know when the time comes. How can I be unhappy!"
Nine million. On the first day, we thought it was 10 million. Can we look forward to 100 million?
Seven days long holiday, nearly one month of release period.
Lin Nan was lying on the bed, giggling and tossing and turning.
"One hundred million, one hundred million, you must go up..."
Yan Danchen called, and you could hear her smiling happily. All her former classmates had already become famous, and this time it was her turn to be the heroine of a movie, the leading heroine.
"Senior, be more reserved. I heard your laughter next door."
Lin Nan joked and was scolded.
On the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, the box office of "Return to Youth" reached more than 57 million.
Media reports about Lin Nan began to increase significantly.
"Young commercial film director!"
"As a writer and director, he is extremely talented..."
…
The film has only been released for four days, and the cost can be said to have been recovered.
After the fifth day, the box office reached 70 million. At this time, "New Police Story" was already beyond its capabilities and was still trying to grow to 30 million.
"Kekexili" had a box office of more than 2 million in five days, a bottomless pit of losses, but it was well received by both the industry and the audience, but this could not save the box office.
At the end of the National Day, the box office had already reached 86 million. Lin Nan knew that starting from the 8th, the box office would be broken, but he was already very satisfied. Hundreds of millions was inevitable.
The box office on the 8th was really 30% off, 4 million, over 3 million on the 9th, 3 million on the 10th...
Since the 11th, the box office of "Return to Youth" has been hovering around two million, and it did not drop below one million until the 18th.
China Film Group brought Koreans to Lin Nan, "Exporting is definitely a good thing. I absolutely support it, but the copyright fee may need to be discussed carefully."
Regarding the issue of export, Lin Nan did not agree to sell it outright, and China Film also agreed that the Korean company would distribute it and eventually divide the accounts.
As for the copyright issue of the movie remake, several producers have to negotiate together. As one of the producers, Lin Nan is also the screenwriter and director, so he occupies the majority.
