Chapter 180: Performance, Plus Investment

No reply for two days.

Those people in China, on the contrary, contacted more frequently.

China Film Group wanted to know whether the media report that Lin Nan was one of the investors was true.

Because Tom had announced that the sequel to Twilight, New Moon, would be filmed and produced.

Nolan felt that the script written by Lin Nan could be further deepened and more delicate, and the latter agreed with his script optimization suggestions.

The actual operation was left to Nolan.

At night, Lin Nan looked through the email inbox and was a little speechless. These people were like cats smelling fish.

Lin Nan replied to several emails.

Domestic reports about Lin Nan and Twilight are still hanging on the Internet.

Ordinary people's attention to this matter is far less than that of the film and television industry.

"Director Han, Director Lin replied to the email. He has been busy watching the post-production special effects of two movies recently. In addition, he is indeed one of the investors in that movie."

As soon as the secretary finished speaking, Han Sanping opened his eyes wide.

"No more?"

"That's all he said."

Han Sanping nodded, "Then let him ask the producer if they have any idea of ​​releasing the film in China."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"The path is pretty wild. There's a new partner in Hollywood?" Han Sanping muttered with a smile.

Shanghai Film Group, Guangguang and Wanda, several companies that often cooperate with him, also received Lin Nan's reply.

"It's very uncomfortable that his company doesn't accept investment."

News in the circle can't be hidden.

There are many people who are envious and jealous.

"What are you thinking? Have you seen Orientals play vampires? Do you think they are from Hong Kong?"

"He's just one of the investors. He may not be able to get in..."

Liu Yifei looked at the report and found it very funny. Lin Nan told her that this movie was fully invested by him.

...

The special effects of "Painted Skin" are about to be completed.

Lin Nan was even a little impatient and wanted to release a short trailer first.

Because the trailer of "The Forbidden Kingdom" has been released, the domestic response is mixed.

It's a good time to compare and warm up "Painted Skin".

"Lin, why don't we go to the stock market to make a fortune."

Tom suggested enthusiastically.

Lin Nan frowned, "Why do you suddenly have this idea?"

Before, Tom asked an institution to help Lin Nan open an account, bought a lot of stocks, and is still buying.

Lin Nan specifically asked to buy them, and he also wanted to hold them for a long time.

But this time Tom's proposal was unreasonable. What does it mean to make a fortune?

"You don't know that the stock market has exploded recently, Wall Street has been constantly reporting good news, and bank and financial stocks have been rising..."

"So, you are jealous?"

"Many production companies I know have invested money in it and can make a lot of money every day."

Tom seemed very excited.

Lin Nan didn't know how to persuade him, there was a cliff in front of him.

"Didn't you buy the ones I bought?" Lin Nan asked.

"No. But it's not too late now. I plan to play for one or two months..."

"Are you sure it'll be one or two months? That's fine."

Lin Nan nodded. With Tom's cautious character, nothing will happen.

Lin Nan doesn't understand this business. He just focuses on those few stocks and holds them for a long time.

Many people in China have made a lot of money from the stock market here.

I heard that Liu Tao hooked up with one of the "Four Young Masters" and even set a wedding date. It has spread in the circle. The gimmick of "marrying into a wealthy family" is not small.

"Lust, Caution" was successfully released. The domestic box office was 3 million short of 140 million, and the global box office was 66 million US dollars.

For a literary drama, this box office result is unprecedentedly good.

"Painted Heart" was released at the end of November.

The first wave of Bonner's promotion began.

"Painted Heart" is an extension of the plot of the movie "Painted Skin."

The song sounds cold and stunning, with a bit of weird atmosphere, but it is easy to make the audience substitute a tragic love ending.

"It sounds good. So, "Painted Skin" is also in this style?"

Many people are looking forward to the release of the movie.

Data from music websites show that the number of downloads of this song is growing rapidly.

"Import? Wholesale?"

China Film Group was more tactful this time, and asked Lin Nan to convey and ask.

"Lin, what do you think?"

"Twilight" has no fan base in China.

Lin Nan remembered that it fell into oblivion without causing any waves.

At this time, it is a bit uncertain if it is put in China.

"Let's make a whole sale. You go and talk about it."

"Well, OK."

Lin Nan sorted out his thoughts, made a draft in his mind, and replied to China Film Group's email.

The number of imported movies each year is strictly limited. For "Twilight", China Film Group probably won't think of importing it.

But the whole sale is exactly what Lin Nan wants.

Two days later.

China Film Group sent people to Hollywood, but Lin Nan did not show up.

Tom signed the contract with the other party outside.

Afterwards, Lin Nan also mentioned to Han Sanping that "Twilight" might not be suitable for the domestic environment.

"Lin, your people are really good at finding faults and bargaining. They pointed out all the market shortcomings of Twilight without missing a single one."

"It's not bad, at least it sold for three million dollars, right?"

China Film did not pay attention to Lin Nan's kind reminder.

Instead, the matter was quickly reported and the film was even scheduled.

A movie just landed in December.

It’s true that the money left over from this year has to be used up in a hurry, for fear of affecting next year.

…

Lin Nan still travels between New Line and Crystal Pictures.

The post-production special effects of "Painted Skin" are completely completed.

Several members of the team returned to the "Mars Rescue" project.

At the same time, the domestic film market began a publicity melee.

The three most prominent films, "Report", "Assembly Number" and "Yangtze River No. 7", are about to be released.

Lin Nan was invited by Nolan to visit the later stages of "The Dark Knight."

The later stages of this kind of Hollywood blockbuster are very worthy of reference for outsiders, so Lin Nan went there with the intention of stealing from his peers.

Warner is a real giant, and Nolan is like a lion patrolling his territory on the crew.

A common problem among great directors is to have absolute say in the crew.

"Lin, Leon gave me a reply and he will come back to read the script during the break.

Old Martin's temper is much more irritable than mine, and "Shutter Island" doesn't allow for unreasonable leave. "

Lin Nan saw a complete set of system equipment used for motion capture. Thinking about it in China today, the hardware is too far behind.

"It doesn't matter. You can wait. I won't return to China for a while."

Lin Nan looked around and replied.

"The Dark Knight" cost nearly 200 million U.S. dollars, and the team in the later stage has reached hundreds of people, which looks really spectacular.

Returning to Crystal Pictures and looking at the place and people at home, I felt like I was in the countryside.

The photo of Lin Nan visiting Warner Bros. and Nolan side by side was published in the newspaper.

The "Batman" series is so famous, and this "Dark Knight" is the highlight.

Many people in China doubt whether Lin Nan has any other projects. He is like this every time, silently.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense. After all, "The Dark Knight" has just been completed, so why can't it be so long in the later stages?

Maybe Lin Nan really just met Nolan and went to Warner Bros. to visit.

Zhang Jizhong has started the national audition for "Journey to the West" again. This time he is cooperating with Blueberry Channel, claiming that the star team will compete fairly with the amateur team.

In view of the fact that he has failed in character many times before, he received a lot of ridicule as soon as the draft was announced.

But his old habits have not changed at all. First, he announced that Huang Xiaoming was interested in playing the role of Tang Monk, and then that Liu Yifei might audition for the role of King of the Daughter Kingdom, and Shu Chang might play a female monster...

Huang Xiaoming didn't say anything.

Liu Xiaoli directly denied it on the blog she opened for her daughter, saying she did not know and would not act in it. Shu Chang followed up and said the same thing.

This was quite a slap in the face. Some reporters went to interview Zhang Jizhong about this matter, but no one could be seen at all.

The sarcasm and ridicule online grew even louder.

Within two days, Lin Nan went to Nolan's appointment again.

This time it's not two people.

Plus Leonardo and the people he brought.

The location was also chosen very secretly.

"Leon, how was the filming of "Shutter Island"?"

Lin Nan said hello and asked after meeting.

“It’s great, director Martin is great.

Lin, when I met you last year, I thought we might collaborate one day. "

"When watching the Victoria's Secret show? Haha..."

"That's right, haha. Let's hurry up. I only have one day off."

Lin Nan and Nolan walked aside carrying coffee.

Leonardo was left alone, carefully reading the script. The people next to him also said something from time to time.

"I think he would agree on the spot," Nolan concluded.

"We'll see."

After a while, I saw Leonardo and the people around him discussing something.

"You two, let's discuss the schedule."

Lin Nan and Nolan sat back to their previous positions with smiles on their faces.

"Director Christopher, have you decided to direct this movie?"

"Yes, I like this script very much and have already decided.

Of course, if you say no, we might ask Matt for his opinion. "

"Matt Damon?"

"Yes, he was very handsome in "The Bourne Supremacy", wasn't he?" Lin Nan took over.

"Matt. Let my good friend rest for a while.

Originally, I was going to take a break after filming "Shutter Island", but I can't now.

I hope we have a great time working together, it's a very imaginative script. "

After saying this, Leonardo looked at Lin Nan.

"Lin, you should know my price."

Lin Nan nodded. Leonardo is really expensive, but it has valuable value.

"I hope Appian Road can participate in investment in this movie..."

…………

A few hours later, Leonardo and his party left in a hurry.

"Does this mean we have an investor?"

“The fact that he was able to make this request on the spot shows that he is very optimistic about the script.

His ability to judge scripts is among the best among Hollywood actors. "Nolan said affirmatively.

Lin Nan didn't hesitate just now and agreed to the other party's request.

But the proportion of his investment cannot yet be determined.

This project will have to wait at least the first half of next year before the various investors can be determined and the investment shares can be negotiated.

The plate is too big, so you have to choose carefully. It’s not enough for investors to just have money, they must also have other advantages that can help.
