That year Huayu

Time comes on the 5th.

"Earthquake" took just half a month to push the domestic movie box office record to 550 million.

At this point, its film output has finally returned to normal.

"Spring Knife" strives to maintain the rare good results of martial arts movies, with a daily box office of about 12 million, and good word-of-mouth response.

Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and Lu Yang are all satisfied with this result.

Especially the latter two.

Liu Yifei's reputation as a producer is finally established.

Lu Yang will definitely become a billionaire club director.

Sometimes I have to admit that the potential of romantic movies is not as good as other movies.

Three days after "My Beautiful Boss" was released, the daily box office began to jump twice in a row, and now hovers around 2 million.

"Without the blessing of big-name stars, maybe this is what it should have achieved..."

"Even so, it should be possible to reach the expected goal of 50 million."

…

Lin Nan flipped through the movie information.

"My Beautiful Boss" is indeed a pity.

This movie was originally used to train Jing Tian. If the cast were bigger, the results would definitely be better.

"Hong Kong Film Is Dead", the four-character headline was prominently displayed on the news page.

"The Informant", which invested 150 million yuan, had a box office of less than 5 million yuan on the first day in the mainland.

"City Alert", which cost 100 million to produce, sold 7 million on the first day.

…

So far, except for "Ip Man 2" in the first half of the year, almost all other Hong Kong films released have been wiped out.

Lin Nan could imagine Yang Shoucheng's mood at this moment.

The money earned from the two "Ip Man" movies was paid back neatly.

Most of the Hong Kong films invested by China Film, Enlight, Huayi, Orange Sky and other companies ended up with serious losses.

"No wonder I've called several times in the past two days. Is this the reason for feelings?!"

Lin Nan realized it later.

Just talk about how Yang Shoucheng keeps contacting him recently to ask about cooperation.

…

Huayi announced good news to the outside world.

"Empire of Heaven", wholly produced by them and directed by Xu Ke, was shortlisted for the main competition in Venice.

This is also the only Chinese-language film shortlisted for Venice this year.

"Last year's Golden Lion Award winner was director Lin Nan. I hope it will still be our domestic director this year. Director Xu Ke!"

There are good things happening in the media and they are already reporting on them. If Xu Ke wins the Golden Lion, the September schedule will be interesting.

The head-on collision of two commercial films, "Bongtian Empire" and "Thieves", will definitely be very interesting and topical.

Many people asked Lin Nan on Weibo what he thought of this matter.

Although they are competitors, at this time, there is only one answer: I wish Director Xu wins the gold medal in Venice!

On the other side, Ning Hao's "The Robbery" was officially launched in the Shanghai Film and Television City.

There were a lot of media at the scene, but only half of them cared about "The Robbery" and the other half asked about "No Man's Land".

"Director Ning, is "No Man's Land" really a death sentence?"

"When will it be released?"

"Is the reason why there was no trial because all the main characters are bad guys?"

…

This time Ning Hao was much more decisive.

“That’s pretty much what everyone guessed, it’s impossible to pass the trial.

But I will reshoot the ending of "No Man's Land" after "The Heist" is completed..."

This time, it was a complete showdown within the circle.

Taking advantage of this incident, a group of filmmakers began to talk about the issue of censorship again, including a large number of those who fish in troubled waters...

"Super Body" is an imported film, so Lin Nan never thought of holding a celebration party or anything.

However, Han Sanping was very enthusiastic. He invited Lin Nan and Liu Yifei to have a meal.

As a distributor, China Film Group has made a lot of money this time.

There were only three people at the table.

"This time Yifei's "Super Body" can be regarded as becoming famous in one battle. How do you plan for future development?"

When Liu Yifei heard Han Sanping call her name, she glanced at Lin Nan and said with a smile, "I listen to him."

"Director Han is talking about Hollywood?"

"Um."

Lin Nan had thought about this problem a long time ago.

"Let's not delay either way. I want to rest, I want to film and film, and she is also a producer now."

Han Sanping nodded. With Lin Nan here, Liu Yifei did have this condition.

"I was chatting with you some time ago about the next project. How is it going now?"

Sure enough, Han Sanping was treating guests, and this meal was not so easy to eat.

Previously, Lin Nan planned to make a lighter movie, such as a romance film or a literary film.

He knew that this was definitely not what Han Sanping was talking about. The latter was fond of big-budget commercial films.

Especially because of this "Super Body", many people know about the relationship between Lin Nan and Crystal Pictures.

They started to think about it.

Take a boat out to sea, participate in Hollywood movies, co-productions, Cypriots...

"Still considering."

Lin Nan did not give an accurate answer.

Liu Yifei did not interfere in the conversation between the two, and was eating at the side.

"How about a co-production? You don't need to direct it, just check it..."

Han Sanping suggested.

This is indeed a good way of cooperation, and currently the policy is supportive and encouraging.

When Crystal Pictures was established, it was mainly to lay eggs, but it didn't stop them from making co-productions to make money!

Lin Nan thought for a while, "Let me think about it seriously in the next few days."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

This is the answer Han Sanping wants.

…………

There is a lot of gossip in the circle.

First, Guo Degang's villa occupied a public green space, and a Capital Channel reporter was beaten when he went to cover it.

Then Deyunshe and Capital Taiwan complained and refused to acknowledge it.

The cross talk jokes are full of ridicule, the neighbors are poor, the reporter is a "prostitute", and the Capital TV station that makes him famous is a "dirty unit"...

I thought there was no evidence, so it was not false at all.

Who knew that someone would dump the complete video and be slapped in the face instantly.

Now I can only hold my nose and hold the press conference, bow my head to admit my mistake, apologize, and give in...

In just a few days, the attitude turned 180 degrees.

Guo Degang, who used to have a simple and honest image, suddenly smashed his sign. This wave will probably take a long, long time!

…

After "Earthquake" reached 550 million, the market finally seemed normal.

But the audience seemed to be overdrawn, and the box office loss of "Earthquake" was not made up for other movies.

"How old is "Xiu Chun Dao" now?"

"It has picked up a bit in the past two days, with a box office of 84.4 million in seven days of release."

Yue Jun reported a number.

A movie’s revenue is mostly generated in the first half of the month.

Lin Nan estimates that the final box office of "Xiu Chun Knife" should be around 200 million, which is either lower or just over the line.

"Very good, I'm going to contact Guangguang to add two more promotions and notify Lu Yang by the way."

Lin Nan ordered. People in the industry are now saying that his decision to sign Guo Fan and Lu Yang was very prophetic.

…

The scenes from last year's "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" are still vivid in my mind.

In the past two days, "The Great Cause of Party Building" has been launched again.

However, this time Han Sanping was only in name, and the actual person doing the work was director Huang Jianxin.

Compared to the previous film, the cast of this one is much inferior.

But what surprised Lin Nan was that Lu Chuan actually got into the director's team. He was really speechless.

"Lin, do you really want to start this project?"

After Tom received the email, he called specifically to confirm.

The script has been written for a long time, but has been shelved. He did not expect that Lin Nan would actually want to do this project now.

"What's wrong, do you have any suggestions?"

"I don't have any suggestions. It's just that we as a company definitely can't do it. Besides, are you sure you don't want to do it yourself?"

Lin Nan never thought of directing such a popcorn-style co-production.

“I’m not going to be the director of this movie.

You should talk to Lionsgate and Warner Bros. If possible, I would like to make it a co-production. "

Tom understands what co-production means.

This means that once the film is completed, it can definitely enter the Chinese market.

"Okay, Lin. I believe they won't refuse such a big cake."

"Well, do it as soon as possible and notify me as soon as there is any news."

…

Lin Nan considered several film projects and finally chose this one.

Because he accidentally saw the stills of "Transformers 3" on the Internet...

In terms of time, it’s only the beginning of August, but I didn’t expect that the smoke of September has already begun to fill the air.

The new footage first released a 2 minute and 36 second trailer for "The Hawthorn Tree".

Not to mention, the response has been pretty good.

"That's right! Girls of that era looked like that, malnourished..."

"The eyes look quite clear!"

"Why do you look a little silly?"

…

Liu Yifei also paid attention to the trailer of "Hawthorn Tree".

After all, she originally wanted to play the heroine.

"Look, even if I put makeup on you, wear a coarse cloth jacket from the countryside, and put some ash on your face, you still won't be as 'unremarkable' as she is..."

Lin Nan joked and was given a blank look.

"Where do you talk like that? Then what do I look like?"

An image suddenly popped up in Lin Nan's mind, Xiaowi...

Thinking of something bad, Lin Nan shook his head instantly.

"Anyway, your temperament doesn't match. Even if you were asked to audition, Director Zhang would most likely reject you."

"snort……"

Although she knew this in her heart, Miss Liu was still a little unconvinced.

"No, I have to ask them to help me find scripts for literary films, or..."

As he spoke, Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan with some anger in her eyes.

…

Ten days after its release, "Xiu Chun Knife" successfully exceeded 100 million in box office, and its daily box office dropped to 6 million.

Speaking of which, this is Lu Yang's second movie.

"Director Lu Yang has successfully been promoted to the billion-dollar box office director club."

"Liu Yifei served as a producer for the first time, and the movie box office exceeded 100 million..."

…

Apart from Lu Yang, the happiest person is Yang Mi.

"Jiajia, it's really hundreds of millions!"

"Congratulations, Mimi. You will be the heroine of a billion-dollar movie from now on, haha..."

In Zeng Jia's view, the higher Yang Micheng is, the greater her benefits as an agent will be. The two complement each other.

There are always more people who are the icing on the cake than those who are helping someone when they need it.

Whether they are acquaintances or close friends, many celebrities and artists expressed their congratulations to Lu Yang on Weibo and praised "Xiu Chun Knife".

No one can refuse honor!

Even Feng Xiaogang, who usually says he doesn't care about Oscars, changed his face as soon as he learned that "Earthquake" defeated "Hawthorn Tree" and got the "Oscar" spot.

"Since my superiors have given me this opportunity, I will definitely seize it and prepare carefully. See you at Oscar then..."

…

As soon as these words came out, you can imagine the ridicule on the Internet.

"I remember when "The Golden Jacket" was competing for the Oscars, Director Feng said: He didn't care about Oscars! That was a scam..."

"When has Director Feng not been like this? He is so shrewd!"

…

Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh when he saw these comments.

Unlike the online complaints, almost everyone in the circle sent blessings, except for Zhang Weiping.

"This is so hypocritical. If you choose one of the two, why should it be "Earthquake"?

The misery it sells? Or is it based on the water-filled box office? "

If Feng Xiaogang is a small steel cannon, then Zhang Weiping is Zhang Dapao.

There is nothing that Zhang Weiping dare not say to others.

This is no longer just trolling Huayi and Feng Xiaogang, the agency that recommends the best foreign language films, the General Administration, is also being trolled...

For a moment, the actors and artists in the circle immediately hid away, and the two major director camps opened fire, fearing that they would be harmed.

To be honest, Lin Nan was a little confused. Is Zhang Weiping smart or stupid, confronting the General Administration of Hard Steel?

I don’t know if Zhang Yimou came forward to express his position, or if someone else spoke? Zhang Dapao, who was still vigorous in the morning, died down in the afternoon.

Lin Nan saw half of the excitement, and then ended inexplicably...

…………

Tom is very efficient.

"Lin, maybe you have to come over."

"What, is there a problem?" Lin Nan asked.

"It's such a big project and it's a co-production. They want to interview you..."

Lin Nan can figure this out.

"You mean, they agreed?"

"You can say that. According to what you said, I have almost reached an agreement with them. But co-production is more troublesome after all, and there are many things that need to be communicated.

They think it would be safer to talk to you face to face again..."

After hearing this sentence, Lin Nan understood what it meant.

The procedures for co-productions are complicated and must be filed for approval in China. When Huayi was working on "The King of Kung Fu," the filing process alone took a long time.

"Okay. Just tell them that I will bring someone there in two days."

"Well, I will inform you, Lin."

…

The fact that Lionsgate and Warner can invite Lin Nan to go there in person shows that there will basically be no problems with the cooperation on this film.

At that time, all we need to do is finalize the investors on both sides.

"There is no way to finish the movie. There is a high probability that we will have to do this often in the future."

Lin Nan is very aware of this situation. One person's energy is limited, and the upper limit of the two companies is also there. No matter how much, it is really too busy...

…

Lin Nan took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Director Han..."

Han Sanping didn't expect Lin Nan to be so efficient. What he just said two days ago has come to fruition today!

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll give you the people you need, and I'll help you with the procedures myself. It will definitely be faster than Hua Yi's time...

But are you sure about the project? "

"A science fiction blockbuster. As long as the special effects can keep up, it's definitely a good project!"

"good!"

To be honest, I’ve been swayed by some readers, which is not a good sign.

I changed part of the outline today, forcibly, so it took a lot of time.

I wanted to take a leave of absence, but I didn't have the nerve, but I really didn't have enough time, so I could only write four thousand words.
