Chapter 177 Released, Copyright Waived

Watching Lin Nan and the other two walk towards the autograph wall.

The host was still a little confused.

There were already no less than six directors today, all of them were being sarcastic.

"I've already restrained myself. I was going to say it directly: Even the Golden Lion and Golden Bear movies can't be nominated, so why should we act rashly?"

"Will there be any problems if we say that?" Huang Bo asked.

"What are you afraid of? Director Jia and Director Jiang just said something similar. Besides, this is the truth, not a lie."

Lin Nan looked indifferent.

Anyway, he didn't hope for the Golden Rooster.

As they were talking, several people entered the awards ceremony.

Although they were guests this time, Lin Nan and Ning Hao's seats were not bad, in the fifth row near the aisle.

Liu Yifei was on the other side of the aisle, in the third row with Jackie Chan and the others.

"Director Lin, long time no see."

Tang Wei smiled and greeted.

"Long time no see, I haven't congratulated you yet." Lin Nan was stunned and said.

The two first met in the crew of "Time and Space Cruise" because of Tian Yu.

Meeting at this moment, it is inevitable that there is some awkwardness. A good couple just broke up like this.

"Thank you." Tang Wei walked away.

"Suddenly becoming famous is a test for actors, especially actresses, not to mention her way of becoming famous." Ning Hao said.

Jackie Chan waved to Lin Nan over there.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Lin Nan walked over.

"I'm thinking about whether to adjust a seat for you to sit over, haha. Don't think too much, just want to chat with you."

Liu Yifei smiled on the side and glanced at Lin Nan.

"No, it's not a good influence, hehe..."

As he said that, Lin Nan handed Liu Yifei a candy and also gave Jackie Chan one.

"The party is a bit long, fill your stomach."

"Very thoughtful, just like when I was young." Jackie Chan said with a smile as he peeled the candy and put it in his mouth.

...

Too many Hong Kong stars and filmmakers came to this Golden Rooster. It is rumored that this is all the credit of Liu Jialing.

She is the image ambassador of this film festival, and this is her hometown.

After Zhang Jingying sang three songs in a row, the closing ceremony ended and the main topic came.

Best screenwriter, art, photography, music, etc. are not very attractive.

What everyone is most concerned about is the news that was circulated on the Internet when the nomination list was announced before.

Best supporting actor and actress are not very famous. It seems that they are all directors who shoot serious dramas in the organization.

Surprisingly, the award for Best Actor was placed before Best Actress. Has the order changed?

Chen Kun is a hot favorite for Best Actor. The Huabiao Award is the title of Best Actor that he shares with Fu Dalong.

Today, the two competed again.

"Best Actor, Fu Dalong, "Tengu"..."

When the Best Actress is awarded, the taste of the Golden Rooster will be right.

"Best Actress, Liu Jialing, "Curiosity Kills the Cat"; Yan Bingyan, "The Teeth of Love"..."

Is it this operation or that Golden Rooster.

The prediction on the Internet came true. Liu Jialing really won the Best Actress, and she guessed it exactly, the double yolk Best Actress.

"Is this the reason for changing the order of awards?" Ning Hao asked in a low voice.

"We are both guests. How would I know if you ask me?" Lin Nan said expressionlessly, looking forward.

The presenters were Liang Chaowei and Li Lianjie, and Yan Bingyan looked out of place on the stage.

There were still two Best Directors.

This was a bit of a joke.

It was not until the Best Film was awarded to "The Clouds and the Water" that people in the audience realized that tonight's award results seemed to coincide with the predictions on the Internet by 80%.

After the award ceremony, Lin Nan and his party did not stay and went directly to the airport.

"I'm looking forward to tomorrow's news, hehe..."

The next morning, Ning Hao called Lin Nan excitedly.

The Internet was full of mockery of the Golden Rooster.

"If the awards are not parallel, the 'hundred flowers' will not bloom; if it is not a double yolk egg, the 'Golden Rooster' will not crow."

In the past, it was only ordinary people who mocked, but this time there were many filmmakers.

The speeches of Lin Nan and Ning Hao on the red carpet yesterday, as well as the interviews of Jiang Wen, Jia Zhangke and others, are now posted on the front page of the portal website.

The most headline news is not these, but the fact that the Film Association and the Golden Rooster Organizing Committee will hold a media meeting today.

To explain and clarify the "double yolk egg" issue, as well as the "predetermined actress" issue mentioned by netizens.

"For this kind of thing, the more you explain, the less people will believe it, because you have a lot of tricks.

Why can an odd number of judges always give out even numbers of awards?"

Lin Nan didn't care how the Film Association explained to the media.

He and Li Yang went to the movie channel to promote "Blind Mountain" for the last time.

On the last day of October, Ning Hao told Lin Nan that Professor Hou Keming had mentioned him a few words, and his speech on the Golden Rooster red carpet was a little inappropriate.

Lin Nan was still wondering why he didn't find him, and finally asked Tian Zhuangzhuang and found out that he was pushed back by the latter.

...

The release date of "Lust, Caution" in China was changed again and again.

Finally, it was changed to November 1, the same day as "Blind Mountain".

Although Lin Nan and Li Yang did their best to promote it, the treatment of the two films was definitely different.

When Lust, Caution was released in Hong Kong and Taiwan in October, it was the box office champion.

In other words, the mainland audiences have been whetted and want to watch this movie.

Lin Nan understands that Blind Mountain will not pose any threat to Lust, Caution.

On the first day of November, "Blind Mountain" and "Lust, Caution" were released at the same time.

From the media reports, we can see the difference between the two films.

"Lust, Caution" had an attendance rate of almost 100% in several cinemas in the capital, which is terrifying.

The attendance rate of "Blind Mountain" was very poor, because the audience knew from the beginning that this was a movie that might make people feel uncomfortable after watching it.

The next day, Lin Nan called China Film and asked about the first-day box office.

"Director Lin, the first-day box office was only 890,000, but the reviews were very high..."

"Well, I see, thank you."

Lin Nan hung up the phone. This result was already very good compared to the original time.

In my mind, the total box office of less than 100,000 was simply heartbreaking.

On the other hand, the media reported the box office of "Lust, Caution", which broke 10 million on the first day.

The online evaluation of "Blind Mountain" also came out: This is a movie that makes people angry and angry, and it is also a movie that makes people feel powerless and desperate...

The evaluation of "Lust, Caution" is biased towards the actors, from acting to plot, from characters to thoughts.

"Lin Nan, I've screwed you over with this result." Li Yang smiled helplessly and said.

"Don't say that, this movie never thought about making money."

In the following days, the box office of "Lust, Caution" remained at 8 or 9 million, while "Blind Mountain" dropped to 300,000 or 400,000, or even lower.

Yu Dong called Lin Nan and said that the screening schedule was indeed increased, but the attendance rate was too low.

The media has already reported that this will be the first loss-making movie produced by Lin Nan.

Liu Yifei went to see "Blind Mountain" and was depressed after returning, with a little swollen eyes.

"I told you not to watch it, but you didn't listen." Lin Nan gently stroked Liu Yifei's eye sockets.

"If, I were the Bai Xuemei who was sold..."

"There is no if."

Lin Nan said firmly.

Liu Yifei is like this, sometimes she is quite naive, but most of the time she is emotional.

She always wants to act in an art film, like "Blind Mountain", she definitely has ideas.

...

Bona held a press conference for "Blind Mountain".

This was Lin Nan's request.

The industry was very confused. Although the box office was not good, the cinema chain did not say that it would be removed from the shelves. It was less than a week ago. Why hold a press conference?

It made no difference whether "Blind Mountain" was removed from the shelves or not. On the fifth day, the daily box office dropped below 10,000 yuan, and the total box office was less than 2 million.

The reputation is really good, that's enough.

The press conference was held in the small auditorium of China Film.

Lin Nan invited all the well-known media in the industry. In addition, there were several official media, and Han Sanping was asked to help.

In the morning, the small auditorium was already full of media reporters.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Nan and Li Yang went on stage.

"Director Lin, I wonder what the theme of today's press conference is?"

"Although the box office is not good, this is indeed a good movie in the true sense..."

...

The reporters chattered and it was a bit noisy.

"Be quiet." Lin Nan said holding the microphone, and the scene was instantly quiet.

"Today's press conference is indeed for the movie "Blind Mountain". Don't be impatient, listen to me slowly."

"The first movie I made when I entered the industry was "Blind Well" directed by Li Yang. It was also a movie adapted from a real case. Although it is a pity that it cannot be released in China, I believe that there must be pirated copies, hehe..."

Lin Nan's words made many reporters laugh.

"In addition, I would like to thank Mr. Yu of Bona for his efforts in "Blind Mountain", so I also gave the distribution rights of "Painted Skin" to Bona."

This matter was announced to the outside world for the first time, and the reporters instantly felt that the trip was worthwhile.

"The last point is also the core significance of holding a press conference today."

Lin Nan paused and looked at everyone present.

"Blind Mountain is a film produced with my full investment. Director Li Yang is a director with real social responsibility. We discussed it and decided that Blind Mountain will be completely withdrawn after today.

In addition, in order to rescue abducted women and fight crime, I voluntarily give up the copyright of this film.

Any audio-visual publisher or website can use it at will. The purpose is to let more people see this film. Thank you everyone..."

…

The news of Blind Mountain spread quickly.

This is the first time that a producer has voluntarily given up the copyright of a film.

The operation of Lin Nan and Li Yang has attracted the attention of many film and television companies in the industry.

"Lin Zi, you are awesome."

"Director Lin is generous."

…

Many acquaintances sent messages and called Lin Nan, admiring his operation.

The official website of Beijing Film Academy forwarded this news.

Only a few voices said that Lin Nan and Li Yang were stopping losses in time and sensationalizing, but they were soon scolded.

"Twilight" is about to be released. This film is the first theater film independently produced by Crystal Pictures.

The box office performance will directly affect morale.

As the boss, Lin Nan had to fly over to keep an eye on it and stabilize the morale of the troops.

In addition, he had to see the special effects of "The Martian" and "Painted Skin", especially the latter, after all, the release date had been set.
