Chapter 112: "Lush", Visiting the Set

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

It took Liongate just two months to complete a horror film, which is indeed the style of Liongate.

Wan Zairen contacted Lin Nan and asked him if he wanted to go and see it, because Liongate would arrange poster promotion and release soon.

There is also a Saw 3 to be made later. Wan Zairen is the producer of this project.

Lin Nan plans to go there in the days when Insidious 1 is released, just in time to see the companies selected by Tom.

Liu Yifei’s The Legend of Condor Heroes was launched amid much anticipation.

It must be said that Master Jin’s novel is indeed more attractive to the audience than Liang’s novel.

“Seven Swords” has the blessing of CCTV-8, but it seems that it is not as popular as “The Legend of Condor Heroes”.

When Xiaolongnu appeared for the first time, she was cold in white clothes, serious and unsmiling, with a cold beauty. The crew designed the fighting scenes very beautifully.

“Xixi is really beautiful, just a little bit worse than me.”

Shu Chang smiled without any modesty.

Lin Nan watched several episodes with Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, and only when Huang Xiaoming played Yang Guo appeared did he complete his mission.

Lin Nan was careless at first and didn't pay attention to the premiere of Liu Yifei's "Tianlong" and "Xianjian". This time he was reminded several days in advance.

"She is a bit greasy, and she looks much older than Sissi's Little Dragon Girl."

Shu Chang commented on the side.

"I can't watch the show with you. I have to visit the set."

Lin Nan said to Liu Yifei.

"Then you go, be careful."

Liu Yifei knows the priorities, and there is no trace of loss on her delicate cheeks, but concern.

...

Kang Honglei is impatient. At this moment, he is pulling the actors to interpret the script and is ready to start filming at any time. He invited Lin Nan to visit the set once. After all, he is a producer.

Lin Nan did not refuse this matter. Visiting the set is a must. The first TV series invested by the company needs more attention and attention.

Directors with a resume like Kang Honglei can get a lot of help when shooting military themes.

Although the Bayi Film Studio did not invest this time, it still provided support to its old friend and contacted many military locations to help Kang Honglei shoot.

These are all director Kang's relationships. If it were Lin Nan, it would be a bit troublesome. He probably would have to ask Han Sanping for help.

Lin Nan flew to the south of the colorful clouds, and the TV series is currently being filmed here.

Yue Jun got into the work very quickly. He had been working in the Qingying Studio for the past few years, and there was no adjustment of his status. He is currently working for Lin Nan, and his salary is twice that of the Qingying Studio. The future is promising.

This is indeed a man's play. Whether Lin Nan intends or not, the leading role is still given to Wang Baoqiang.

Kang Honglei is in good shape and has been waiting for the day of shooting for a long time.

"I plan to shoot while my hands are hot and finish it in one go. If nothing goes wrong, it will be done in about three months!"

Maybe it was really too long, Lin Nan heard a lot from Kang Honglei.

This script has been out for a long time, and it has been delayed by funding issues. He has gone through the shooting process many times in his mind and improved it again and again.

"It's all okay. It depends on you."

Lin Nan complimented.

The schedule was tight, and some actors hadn't gotten their parts yet, but they were still in the crew.

Lin Nan had dinner with everyone, so they met.

Some people don't talk about their character, anyway, Lin Nan promised not to interfere with the casting, so he didn't care about it now.

"Director Lin, long time no see."

Wang Baoqiang's smile was almost the same as in "A World Without Thieves", and he looked really sincere.

"Long time no see, how have you been doing these past two years?"

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

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

When Lin Nan said this, he wanted to laugh. In "Legendary Fantasy Shang Dynasty", 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'm Li Chen from Huayi..."

"Director Lin, hello, I'm Zhang Yi."

"...I'm Duan Yihong."

...

Lin Nan estimated that the two Wangs must be secretly happy, because most of the leading actors are from Huayi.

Lin Nan had intentionally informed the media of this visit, and Huayi didn't mind helping to promote it, so the online reports were much more detailed.

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

"It's all men, no romance, no women!"

...

"We Two", which won last year's Golden Rooster Awards, was released.

After Lin Nan returned to the capital, he went to the cinema to watch it. He spent the ticket price of one person and enjoyed the treatment of a private theater.

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

Unfortunately, it was abandoned by the theater after three or four days of release. The ratings were very high and the audience's reputation was also good, but the national box office did not add up to six figures.

"Sometimes it's like this. It's reasonable to give any award to any work, but this box office is really a bit embarrassing."

Ning Hao also looked regretful. He would also watch the works that won awards at the same time to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses.

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

"Have you settled all the distribution issues?"

"It's settled. Before the domestic release, we just need to promote it again. We don't care about the overseas release. Those promotional posters and videos are enough."

Lin Nan replied.

Because Ning Hao was only a guest star, he was not dragged along for the promotion, and only a symbolic poster was taken.

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 movies. The last movie "Dead Silence" co-produced with Lin Nan made a lot of money, and from the current promotion, "Insidious" is obviously the first in a series.

"Time and Space Cruise" is scheduled for May Day, and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is scheduled for June.

…

Liu Yifei's popularity has reached a new level, and no young actor born in the 1980s can match it!

In the second round, a large number of satellite TV stations bid for "The Condor Heroes", and the schedule is arranged directly for the Golden Week.

"You are the best now. No TV series can compare with "The Condor Heroes" during this period..."

Liu Xiaoli held her daughter's face, extremely excited.

Several TV series have accumulated incredible audience popularity for her 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 was not an exaggeration. Many TV stations and media predicted that even if "Legend of the White Snake" was broadcast on CCTV-8 on May 1, it would be difficult to steal the limelight from "The Condor Heroes", not to mention the current batch of dramas that are suppressed by "The Condor Heroes".

"Mom, how can you praise me so much..."

Liu Yifei said a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, you are still humble, which is a good thing. By the way, didn't Lin Nan tell you when you will leave?"

Liu Xiaoli asked.

New Line was calling for the main creators to shoot a promotional video. Liu Yifei's New Line specifically notified Lin Nan, who provided the actors.

"Let's leave in the next two days." Liu Yifei said.

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

Seeing that her daughter was a little discouraged, Liu's mother ignored it.

March was about to end, and Liu Xiaoli took her daughter, assistant, and Lin Nan to Los Angeles.

"Little Dragon Girl has recently gone to New Line Cinema to shoot a promotional video for the 3D sci-fi blockbuster "Journey to the Center of the Earth", and Director Lin Nan is accompanying her as a partner."

Hollywood has a great influence, but it only occupies 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 and Lionsgate's movie is about to be released, and he has to go to Santa Monica."

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

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

...

"Lin, I can guarantee that there must be one that you are satisfied with among these companies."

Tom drove the car and said proudly.

"Then wait until we finish the business, and then we will see."

Lin Nan understood Tom's mood. Since sending Liu Yifei to New Line, he has not stopped talking.

According to Wan Zairen, the marketing department of Lionsgate unanimously believed that this "Insidious" would be more successful than "Dead Silence".

Because the script is no longer just a simple rendering of the horror atmosphere, but the horror atmosphere is laid on the strong family affection between father and son. The intention has depth, which will definitely add a lot of points to this movie.

"Lin, let's not talk about your film distribution first, let's take a look at the finished film."

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

"Insidious" is already on the list of North American theaters, just waiting for release.

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.

Wen Zairen is really talented in this aspect. The script is only flat. Even if there are split shots, different directors will shoot similarly.

But in the horror film, Wen Zairen 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 Zairen wore black-framed glasses, giving Lin Nan the feeling of a young man who stayed up late in an Internet cafe.

"Director Wen, pay attention to rest." Lin Nan couldn't help but say.

"Haha, it did take a few days, but this time it's a simultaneous release, so I have to be careful."

The last time "Dead Silence" was released, North America was nearly a week ahead of other regions, but I didn't expect it to be released together this time.

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

Lin Nan was 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 all the movies are released at the box office." Wen Zairen said.

"Don't be in a hurry, I will stay for a while, there are still some things to do at New Line." Lin Nan replied.

"That's good. New Line has confirmed that this movie will be introduced to the mainland, and it's so fast, which makes many people jealous."

This is true. In recent years, which imported film has not been delayed again and again, and it is not a good time to put it in.

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

Lin Nan estimates that there will be Hollywood companies that will come up with this idea in the future, accept some mainland investment, and facilitate entry into this market, or even co-production films.

Whether it is a good project or not is unknown, but given the nature of Hollywood, how could good projects be shared with outsiders? Most of the time, they will be leftovers that are not sure or looked down upon.
