That year Huayu

It’s that time of year again when New Year’s Eve is approaching.

Judging from the situation this year, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and others will probably have to stay in Hong Kong Island with the crew to celebrate the New Year.

Yinghuang even sent an invitation to Lin Nan, asking him to attend the New Year's Eve party with the crew.

However, Lin Nan discussed it with everyone and decided to have New Year's Eve dinner with the "Genius Gunslinger" crew instead of going to Ying Huang's place.

On the other side, the news that "Thirteen Girls" lost the Golden Globe Awards has spread quickly, and everyone in the industry is watching the excitement.

Failure to win a Golden Globe means that the probability of "Thirteen Girls" winning an Oscar is even slimmer.

This will undoubtedly make the sale of film copyrights even worse.

So far, Chen Kaige is still the only director in China who has won the Golden Globe Award. Our position in the industry is as stable as Mount Tai!

"Are South Korean girl groups so popular? They are all the news in Hong Kong today."

On the crew of "Genius Gunslinger", Zhu Yawen grabbed the newspaper and muttered something.

South Korea's 9-member girl group Girls' Generation arrived in Hong Kong this morning and heard that they would hold a concert here tonight.

The fans who picked him up caused a short-term traffic jam at the airport and suddenly became a gossip headline.

"I heard that it seems to be quite popular." Luo Jin interjected.

"What? Do you want to take a look? I can give you half a day off."

Lin Nan asked Zhu Yawen while playing back the footage.

"Forget it, it looks good. But among the nine people, how many of them have real looks?"

"Then you can ask Director Lin for help and see if he has channels in South Korea so that we can keep a close distance..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Before Luo Jin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Nan's cough.

Because Liu Yifei and the other three girls were walking this way.

"What did you say?"

"Zhu Yawen is talking about the South Korean girl group, which looks good. Luo Jin and I are criticizing him. Most of them have been punished there."

"Yes, you are criticizing him." Luo Jin agreed.

Zhu Yawen's eyes widened, good guy, are you ganging up on me?

"me……"

"Okay, stop teasing him, get ready to put on makeup and get to work!"

Just when Zhu Yawen was about to defend himself, Lin Nan interrupted him.

…………

Long black silk legs, high heels, a small suit, a hip-hugging skirt, plus heavy makeup, waves and glasses...

This is the makeup and style given to Reba.

Lin Nan is not the kind of person with morbid aesthetics. He will not ask his artists to be thin.

The 20-year-old, slightly voluptuous Reba, coupled with her ethnic minority looks, instantly gave off the air of a mature woman nearly 30 years old after putting on makeup.

"Pay attention to your appearance and temperament. Think about the scenes of those female teachers in charge of exams in school. In the play, you are more professional than them."

Age and appearance can be determined by makeup, temperament is the difficult part, the worst is to take more pictures!

"Yes, I understand, Director Lin."

Lin Nan understood that it was indeed a bit reluctant to let Reba play this guest role.

But there is really no other better guest role in the movie, but fortunately her scenes total only three or four minutes. You can still take good photos with snacks.

Lin Nan also ordered the lighting engineer to try to make Reba look more mature.

"What are you looking at? Your eyes are falling off!"

Hearing Lin Nan's scolding, Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin were both a little embarrassed, and they laughed and argued:

"Nothing else, just appreciation."

"Yes, yes, admiring it!"

…………

On the same day, the film schedules of "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" were cut to less than 1%.

This indicates that two movies will be released soon.

Film companies in the industry are unconsciously paying attention to their box office...

"Affected by "Pacific Rim", since January, the daily box office of "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has dropped significantly..."

""Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" was successfully released, with a total box office revenue of 521 million."

"Bona Chairman Yu Dong said that he is very satisfied with the results. The company has achieved profitability and the stock price has risen..."

"The dream of a billion-dollar box office for "The Thirteen Hairpins" was shattered, with a total box office of 560 million, and its overseas box office failed even more!"

"Two Zhangs worked together for sixteen years, but in the end they failed miserably at the box office of "Thirteen Hairpins" and parted ways. This investment in new pictures resulted in huge losses!"

Two blockbusters were released, and only one "Reverse War" with an investment of 200 million was added.

Movies such as "Pacific Rim" and "Those Years" took advantage of the situation to grab some film schedules.

Lin Nan Pictures' Weibo has posted a message of celebration.

""Pacific Rim" has been released for half a month, and the box office has exceeded 810 million, aiming for 1.2 billion!"

Production companies all understand the meaning of 810 million.

This means that the three-party account sharing ratio of Lin Nan Pictures, China Film and Wanda has reached 44.5%!

…

"Director Han, has the result of your application to postpone the release of the movie not been announced yet?"

This is the fifth time Ye Ning has pressed this matter.

Most of a movie’s box office revenue will be generated in the first half month of its release.

He is very worried about whether "Pacific Rim" can reach 1.2 billion by the end of January.

The box office of 1 billion and the box office of 1.2 billion, after paying the special film fund and surcharge, are divided according to 44.5% and 46%, but the amount that the producer can get is about 100 million different.

Han Sanping was also helpless, "The bureau is still considering it. After all, neither of the two movies has been approved for postponement."

It would be a lie to say that he is not excited, but Han Sanping is also excited. With an extra 100 million divisible box office, according to the investment ratio, China Film Group will have 20 million more!

"I can only wait now, the Children's Bureau won't answer my calls anymore, haha..."

…………

Lin Nan was on the set and received many congratulatory calls.

Guangguang's, Huayi's, Xiying, Ningying...

Everyone is eagerly waiting to see whether "Pacific Rim" can break 1.2 billion in China.

Because the overseas box office has been announced by Warner

"In two weeks, the overseas box office has exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars. Not counting the subsequent audio and video copyrights. Director Lin, your movie is destined to make a lot of money!"

Yang Shoucheng personally came to the filming site of the SAT test center. His words were not only congratulations but also envy, but also had other meanings.

Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen and others were shocked by the figure of 300 million US dollars. This was the news that just came out at noon today.

"It's okay. After all, when you invested earlier, you also took big risks, didn't you?"

Lin Nan looked at Yang Shoucheng, who was always smiling, and said modestly.

During this period, Yinghuang sent people here whenever he had something to do, and did a lot of big and small things.

Lin Nan and the crew felt more comfortable and relaxed when filming than in the mainland.

Lin Nan could guess Yang Shoucheng's intentions, so he simply revealed them today.

"Director Yang, our company will develop a movie project later, and Ying Huang can join us."

Hearing this, Yang Shoucheng became excited instantly.

"Director Lin, is this "Ip Man 3"?"

Lin Nan shook his head, "Let's talk about it then. I'll let someone notify Director Yang."

Yang Shoucheng didn't ask any more questions. Lin Nan's promise was enough.

"Okay, I'm waiting for news from Director Lin."

Half an hour later, Yang Shoucheng left the crew with satisfaction.

"Lin Nan, what movie were you talking about just now? Wasn't it "Ip Man 3"?"

Liu Yifei asked suspiciously.

"There are two script options, and I'm still deciding which one to decide. After we finish filming and go back, I'm going to discuss it with Lu Yang."

…………

Shooting continues.

In the main shot, Liu Yifei and Zhu Yawen enter the examination room.

Reba walked in the examination room on high heels, her English lines already memorized.

"Please write your personal information on the answer sheet and check it carefully. The first part has 52 questions and takes 45 minutes..."

"stop!"

Lin Nan's shout made everyone nervous, especially Reba.

"Reba, you come from the back of the exam room and face the camera. Don't subconsciously look at the camera. Do you understand?"

Reba nodded blankly, "Director Lin, I will definitely pay attention next time."

"Everyone is in position, ready for...action!"

The same lines were repeated, but Reba was much better this time. His eyes were on the candidates on both sides of the corridor instead of subconsciously looking at the camera.

…

"I'm going to take up the papers now, you have ten minutes to rest..."

Liu Yifei and Zhu Yawen quickly walked out of the classroom and ran to the bathroom, where there were mobile phones hidden in advance.

The second camera shot is Luo Jin and Shu Chang.

When Liu Yifei sent back the first part of the answer in camera No. 3, Zhu Yawen in camera No. 4 did not move. He asked for another one million and transferred the money immediately via computer.

In camera No. 2, Luo Jin was furious and cursed emotionally, but it was Shu Chang who used his own money to advance part of it...

"The previous one million was what I deserved for helping you cheat. This one million is the compensation he hired to get me injured and hospitalized and for missing the exam..."

…

"Click! Done.!"

“The filming of the remaining three parts of the transfer of answers to the actual test questions is the final climax of our film.

This means that we are not far from completion. That’s it for today! "

Lin Nan called Jiang Yuerou over.

"New Year's Eve is in two days. Director Jiang, go find a better restaurant and book it. The budget can be increased. By then, the whole crew will have a New Year's Eve dinner there.

In addition, the bill does not need to go to the movie's budget, it comes from my account, and I treat you. "

Jiang Yuerou nodded and said with a smile: "Director Lin is very generous, so should I choose a high-end restaurant?"

Hearing this, Lin Nan also laughed: "I can only accept six digits at most, not seven!"

"Haha, don't worry, Director Lin, it will definitely not reach seven figures..."
