Chapter 1164: Review Rejected; Share Allocation!
More than a week later, the filming of "The Wandering Earth" has moved forward again. According to the number of remaining shots, only the last one-third of the work is left.
During this period, a large number of foreign special actors finished shooting in batches, which also led to the leakage of the filming progress;
As a result, the number of uninvited media visits also increased rapidly in a short period of time, so that the crew was completely overwhelmed... Wu was even disturbed so much that he almost swore at those people.
Fortunately, there was news about "Crazy Alien" again on the morning of the 18th, which really diverted a lot of media firepower from "The Wandering Earth".
"Reprinted from the official website of the Film Bureau: The comedy science fiction film script "Crazy Alien" submitted by Bad Monkey Pictures has been officially reviewed this morning."
"Just after 10 o'clock in the morning, Bad Monkey Pictures released the "Crazy Alien" film project casting announcement:
The film is directed by Ning Hao, produced by Xing Aina, and jointly produced by Bad Monkey Pictures, Lin Nan Pictures, Red Starwood Pictures, and Huanxi Media.
From now on, the film will be open to the domestic film and television industry for casting... For the roles available for audition, the audition process, and the requirements for actors, please see the attached documents..."
Director Ning's new film is finally about to start casting, and the actors in the entire film and television industry can't wait and are excited.
What's more commendable is that the official lineup of producers of this film is simply luxurious, and it can be called the top in the industry... The temptation is directly full!
"Click!"
Zhao Jinmai finished shooting the "monologue" shot of the one-man show to the communicator. Lin Nan waved his hand to signal everyone to take a break, and he walked alone to a secluded corner of the studio.
Just because his phone was handed to him by his assistant, "Director Lin, Producer Liu asked you to call back."
Not long after, Liu Yifei's crisp voice with a slight nasal tone came from the other end of the phone, "Lin Nan, I want to go to Shanghai in advance, and spend two more days with Changchang and the others.
So Sister Na called me this morning. She wanted me to go over in the afternoon to discuss the share. The earlier the decision is, the less trouble it will be. After that, we can just pay the money directly, and there is no need to bother again..."
"Well, then it's hard for Producer Liu. Let's do what we agreed before. This is the first time to cooperate with Huanxi. We don't need to be too polite. After all, Huanxi and Bad Monkey are not the same."
Lin Nan emphasized that there is no need to give in to Huanxi, especially in a film project that is destined to be profitable.
"That's natural. Don't worry, leave everything to me, hehe."
In the past, Lin Nan came forward to discuss the investment share in person, and this time Liu Yifei, who "took over" for the first time, seemed to be full of interest and enthusiasm? !
"Director Lin, a few foreigners are here, and they said they have talked to you on the phone." As soon as he hung up the phone, a crew member hurried over.
Lin Nan nodded and tacitly agreed to this matter, "Take them to the rest room, I will come later."
When the Disney people invited Lin Nan before, they specifically asked about his schedule in order to arrange the time for the first meeting;
Lin Nan set the time to mid-to-late June, which is during the Magic City International Film Festival.
But a few days ago, they called again inexplicably, saying that they wanted to visit the crew of "The Wandering Earth".
Lin Nan did not refuse. And today, these people from Disney have become the only outsiders he has allowed to visit the crew so far!
...
In the afternoon, the latest movie information came again on the Internet.
All the relevant scenes of "Shadow" at the Huairou Film and Television Base in the capital were completed at noon, and Zhang Yimou was going to start running the location with the crew.
Xianning Xingxing Bamboo Sea, Qianshan Forest Park Bamboo Sea, Chibi Suiyang Bamboo Sea, Honghu Qujiawan Ancient Town... When the exterior shooting was finished, the film was officially finished.
And the industry has already reached a consensus: this "Shadow" will also be Zhang Yimou and LeTV's breakup work, and there is no chance of accidents!
After the movie information of "Shadow", Tudou.com's listing dinner came later and landed on the top of Weibo's hot search list at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Tudou officially began to send out dinner invitations to a large number of well-known people and capital in the financial industry, Internet industry, media industry, and film and television entertainment industry one month in advance.
Location: Magic City; Time: June 27th evening!
So far, the time for Tudou.com to officially land on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has been officially announced in a fair and open manner, that is, the morning of June 28th.
"Buy, of course, and buy as much as you can! Stocks that are destined to make money, why not buy them?" Hua Yi and Wang Zhongjun said to Feng Xiaogang and others with a smile.
He and Wang Zhonglei knew that Huayi would not be invited to Tudou's dinner party;
But they would still go to "show their support" as soon as its stock was listed. After all, it is a recognized high-quality stock. It's a bargain, so why not take it!
Among the several executives and shareholders present, except Feng Xiaogang, almost everyone nodded and agreed with Wang Zhongjun's words.
Only Director Feng had a reluctant expression on his face, because the film "Youth" sent to the Film Bureau a week ago was just rejected an hour ago.
"Xiaogang, don't look like this, right? It's not like your movies haven't been rejected by the review for so many years. Just edit and modify it." Wang Zhonglei comforted with a smile.
"But they didn't even say the specific reason, they just said something like some problems shouldn't be made? Haha, what problems? I think my movie is completely fine! What are they trying to cover up by being so vague? Is there any shady content that can't be said?"
It would have been fine if Wang Zhonglei didn't mention it. As soon as he mentioned it, Feng Xiaogang immediately exploded, and his words were full of yin and yang.
"The higher-ups asked you to change it, so you can change it. It's different now. The review team was drastically cut by Director Zhang. It's impossible to operate as easily as it was during "Assembly."
Wang Zhongjun said ambiguously and very seriously. The expressions of the people around him also became serious instantly, because they could understand the implication of the former's words.
"I know, I'll try my best." Feng Xiaogang nodded with a frosty face. He was extremely reluctant to delete the core content from the bottom of his heart, the things he wanted to express, the things with irony.
...
Bad monkey.
When Liu Yifei arrived with her assistant, it was still half an hour before 3 o'clock, so she arrived half an hour early.
But what she didn't expect was that the delighted Dong Ping not only came in person, but also arrived earlier than her!
"This is my first time working with Director Lin and Producer Liu, so I must come early and wait, hehe..."
Dong Ping is such a smart person, smiling as soon as he met her. Liu Yifei was caught off guard, but she still greeted her generously.
"Yifei, hurry up and sit down. Since you are here early, let's start early. After it's settled, we can concentrate on casting and preparing for the start of filming." Xing Aina pulled Liu Yifei to sit next to her.
Soon, Ning Hao came from another office with a stack of documents, "Come and see, this is the preliminary budget for Crazy Alien."
When Liu Yifei took the budget report, Ning Hao couldn't help but joked with her:
"It can't be compared with Lin Nan's Wandering Earth. His is a hardcore science fiction, which requires a large number of special effects shots to support it;
And the special effects requirements of my movie are much less than his, so the budget is naturally less than his. Look, it's 200 million less!"
"300 million?" Miss Liu glanced at the number on the information and read it out softly.
"Well, it's 300 million, and it uses the special effects team of Tiangong Color. Just for this item, your family can recover a large amount of costs and profits in advance!"
Ning Hao smacked his lips and complained in silence and envy. Liu Yifei was proud of what she said, but she was being modest: "In fact, Tiangong Colors makes almost no money."
"Haha, Yifei, you and Lin Nan are indeed a couple in the same bed. Your boastful tone is exactly the same..." Xing Aina was immediately amused, and her tone was full of ridicule.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about business." Miss Liu changed the subject and smiled and changed the topic.
Her aura became stronger in an instant, "Including the copyright part, Lin Nan Pictures and Red Star Wu took a total of 40%. This should be no problem, right?"
As Liu Yifei's voice fell, Ning Hao and Xing Aina smiled at each other in tacit understanding, their eyes full of "expected".
Only Dong Ping lost his smile in an instant, because the number Liu Yifei asked for also meant that there would not be too much left for Huanxi. However, he had no right to speak up and object!
The few people were silent for two seconds, and then Xing Aina smiled and nodded, breaking the silence: "No problem, you and Lin Nan can take 40% naturally."
No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
Seeing Liu Yifei's satisfied smile, Xing Aina looked at Dong Ping again, "Then Huanxi will take 10% this time."
Hearing this, Dong Ping couldn't help but pause. Ning Hao and his wife actually left half for Bad Monkey?
Although he was a little reluctant, he could only smile and agree: "10% is 10%, it's better to have it than not. And it seems that "Crazy Alien" is a project destined to make money."
"Then it's settled, let's make an appointment and sign the contract another day..."
...
As the most important of all the film projects of China Film this year, the first large-scale media conference of "The Founding of an Army" officially kicked off at 9 o'clock in the morning on the 19th.
China Film had invited Lin Nan before, but he couldn't make a special trip from Qingdao to the capital for such a thing, and the crew's filming mission didn't allow it; so Yue Jun had to represent Lin Nan Pictures to attend the press conference.
The crew of "The Wandering Earth", while taking a break, Lin Nan also paid attention to the movie information on the Internet.
The Founding of an Army has made a lot of noise, and many senior leaders have gone to the press conference... There are many people wearing military uniforms with strong auras, and there are also many golden stars.
I think the scene will be more spectacular at the premiere, after all, this is a "tribute to the founding of the army"!
"I don't know what Mr. La is thinking, he actually shouted the slogan of refusing mission-style private screenings? To be honest, his idea and decision are too bold and too risky.
If the original "Founding of a Republic" was brought to this time, I might have nothing to say, but this "Founding of an Army"?
With the directors and the team behind the scenes in Hong Kong Island, as well as so many "young artists", I really can't imagine what the consequences will be if something goes wrong? I'm afraid that Chairman Lada will be remembered by those leaders? ! "
When Yue Jun called and talked about the things that happened at the press conference, Lin Nan was also confused.
Is Chairman Lada destroying his own martial arts? If you say that kind of thing openly, there will be no room for maneuver.
Even if you give the leaders a guarantee, a military order, and a firm attitude, you shouldn't be so resolute? Don't leave yourself any way out?
"Director Lin, it seems that "The Founding of an Army" and my "Wolf Warrior 2" will be released on the same day!" Wu Yi joked with a smile.
"Yes, it's on the same day. "
Lin Nan nodded. Wu Yi's high-spirited look had completely exposed his inner thoughts. He just wanted to put down "The Founding of an Army" and didn't take it seriously at all.
"There are only two months left. After "The Wandering Earth" is finished, you should also hurry up and continue to promote it." Lin Nan added a suggestion.
"Don't worry, Director Lin, I will definitely work non-stop at that time, starting from the Shanghai International Film Festival. In addition, "Wolf Warrior 2" must have a higher box office than the first one, right?
I am very confident about this, after all, the cost has increased by 1.5 times! I have to live up to everyone's investment, don't you think? Haha..."
Wu Yi laughed wantonly, and at the same time patted his chest confidently.
Lin Nan ignored him and cast his eyes on the hundreds of crew members in the distance, all of whom were busy preparing the next shot.
"Let's speed up the shooting and try to finish it in the early part of next month, not in the middle of the month. Oh, and let Zhao Jinmai go back early and take advantage of the time to review for another half a month to sprint for the high school entrance examination. "
Walking towards the crowd, Lin Nan shouted loudly, and then there was a chorus of approval.
"Director Lin, I am very confident about the high school entrance examination, so don't be so anxious to send me back... I will be locked up in school to do exams every day..." Zhao Jinmai's bitter "protest" came, and there was another burst of laughter.
...
It was a little after five o'clock in the afternoon in China, and just after 12 o'clock in the morning in Morocco.
All the crew members gathered at the beach, which was also the shooting point of the last shot.
Guo Fan held up a loudspeaker, and like everyone else, he was extremely excited and shouted:
"Now I announce: The eight-month overseas training and overseas shooting of "Operation Red Sea" has officially ended, and all overseas scenes have been successfully completed.
After the wrap-up banquet tonight, everyone will return tomorrow; everyone can still choose between airplanes and warships! "
As soon as the words landed, everyone in the crew cheered.
Except for some navy personnel, all others chose to fly.
Everyone really didn't want to ride on a warship. It was too torturous. These eight months had already exhausted the passion of men! Although they still had to shoot for another two months after returning home...
"Lu Yang, call Director Lin and tell him."
"Yes, no problem."
