Chapter 183 "Mars" Is Scheduled to Be Released
What Lin Nan didn't expect was that Cai Yinong still went to find Liu Xiaoli.
The result is predictable.
She was sternly rejected.
"I told President Cai before that she shouldn't waste her time, but she insisted on trying."
Hu Ge was in Hengdian. After attending the press conference for the final shooting of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he came directly to the capital. It sounded like he was doing a private matter.
He came to sit with Lin Nan by the way.
"At present, we have only submitted the script. It will probably take a few months for the real preparations to start."
Hu Ge took the initiative to say.
Lin Nan was not interested in this. Instead, he was very curious about the reporter's photo of Hu Ge meeting a woman.
"Girlfriend?"
Hu Ge was stunned for a moment, nodded, but suddenly became a little depressed.
"It's my ex-girlfriend. I came here because of this."
Lin Nan thought to himself, it was indeed a private matter. It's better not to talk about such a sad topic.
But Hu Ge didn't mean to stop.
"Four years have passed so fast. I was a coward.
One year and four months after the car accident, we broke up..."
At this moment, Hu Ge looked a little gloomy.
This was a difficult question to answer.
Lin Nan couldn't ask in detail why they broke up.
"Let's not talk about this. You should be fine before the release of Painted Skin, right?"
"I have a few songs to record." Hu Ge looked up and answered.
"Well, these are not too important. You should set aside some time. You will have to follow the crew to promote the film."
"No problem, I will arrange the schedule."
After seeing Hu Ge off, Lin Nan felt a little emotional.
A good couple was artificially torn apart like this.
Luckily, Old Lin is not like this, otherwise he would have died.
…
Acting well and singing well is a big trend in the entertainment industry.
Huang Xiaoming did this. He held a press conference for his first album in the capital, dancing and singing on the spot.
After the press conference, he specially sent a set of discs to Lin Nan, under the pretext of letting her correct him.
"Is this mocking me?"
What can Lin Nan point out? No matter how bad Huang Xiaoming sings, he is better than his tone-deafness.
After "Assembly" earned 15 million yuan in box office on the first day, it gradually eroded "The Warlords".
As one grows, the other declines, and the reputation of the two movies also widens with the box office gap.
"Assembly" can be said to have received rave reviews.
On the other hand, the latter's box office has dropped rapidly, which has already explained the problem.
Lin Nan went back to Beijing Film Academy.
Zhou Xingchi brought the crew of "CJ7" to promote it.
In school, there is a feeling of art exams, and there are many more people.
Lin Nan used to admire Zhou Xingchi.
After all, he has made so many movies and has his own unique performance charm. After becoming a director, he is even more talented.
Sitting in the audience, listening to the host and Zhou Xingchi's questions and answers, Lin Nan found that he was not good at speaking.
Especially when Zhou Xingchi found that others were laughing, he would always react half a beat later.
It seems that the jokes and cognition are not in the same plane.
However, Lin Nan thinks that the little kid next to Zhou Xingchi is quite clever. She can help Zhou Xingchi to fill in many words that he can't remember for a while.
The two of them really look like father and daughter.
While several old directors in the school were discussing the film shooting ideas with Zhou Xingchi, Lin Nan left the venue.
After meeting Zhou Xingchi himself today, Lin Nan's mood was almost like a fan who met the Monkey King in "A Chinese Odyssey".
The rest is a relationship of peers, and there is a high probability that they will be competitors in the box office in the future.
…………
"The Warlords" has died.
After nearly 20 days of release, the box office has really crossed the 200 million threshold. With an extra 3 million, it will not be able to make any more progress.
It is said to be released worldwide, but in fact it is only in Southeast Asia, more specifically, South Korea, island countries and other places.
The powerful media has already posted the data of this movie online.
The investment is 40 million US dollars, and the global box office is 42.8 million US dollars.
After a careful count, the director and actors got a lot of points, and the former even got the title of the 200 million box office club, while the producer suffered a huge loss.
The question of why the tattered costumes and props cost 100 million was questioned again by the public opinion.
"Where did the money go?"
"How much was embezzled?"
...
"Netizens are worrying about nothing, these news will not last long."
Lin Nan said to Ning Hao confidently.
Sure enough, these questioning voices soon disappeared from several major portals.
"How do you know?"
"The film with the largest investment in China Film in 2007 is this one.
The investment in "Red Cliff" is not as much as this one."
"You mean China Film..."
Ning Hao stopped talking halfway, thinking that Han Sanping was really unlucky.
The film with the largest investment was "The Warlords", and the second one was definitely the mess of "Red Cliff".
Lin Nan returned to the company and began to "write" the script.
The news outside was a mess.
The movie "Apple" was suddenly brought up.
For unknown reasons, an uncut version of "Apple" appeared online and was widely circulated.
On the grounds that the version of "Apple" that was shown at the Berlin Film Festival was not the cut version reviewed by the Film Bureau, the film's "screening license" was revoked and banned completely.
Even the producer was banned for two years for producing pornographic content in violation of regulations. All other actors received serious criticism and education and made in-depth self-examination.
Lin Nan thinks the above operation is very good, why not use "Lust, Caution"?
…………
Huayi has already started preparing for the celebration banquet.
It has been exactly ten days since "Assembly" was released.
The box office, which should have been reduced, exploded again during the three days of New Year's Day.
The box office in a single day was 20 million, and the box office in three days was 60 million.
Feng Xiaogang jumped into the 200 million box office director club.
All major news websites are full of this news.
The third mainland director with a box office of 200 million was born.
This reminds everyone of the box office prediction given by Lin Nan during the premiere of "Assembly".
"As expected of Director Lin Nan, his vision is really accurate!"
"Only great commercial film directors understand commercial films."
…
The media reports pushed Lin Nan to the headlines.
This made Hua Yi and Feng Xiaogang very uncomfortable.
This movie obviously has nothing to do with Lin Nan, but now it seems like he has some credit for it.
China Film's official website has announced some information about films that have been scheduled to be released in 2008.
Many people in the industry and companies will pay attention.
There are not many movies currently scheduled, and you can almost scan them all in one glance.
In the first half, "Painted Skin" and "The King of Kung Fu" are very prominent.
This was decided in 2007 and everyone knows it.
But when they saw the second half, many people couldn't help but rub their eyes to make sure they weren't dazzled.
"Is it scheduled?"
"When was it decided?"
The news of the final release of "The Martian" swept through the entire mainland film and television industry like a passing hurricane.
The 300 million-dollar science fiction blockbuster is set to be released!
According to details previously announced by China Film Group, the actors in this film were not paid very high salaries.
The vast majority of funds are spent on hardware facilities, props and special effects, especially special effects, which cost a huge amount.
Lin Nan's phone was almost flooded with people asking about this matter.
Open the news page, and the news about "The Martian" is at the top, suppressing all other news about the film and television industry and the entertainment industry.
“You want the National Day slot, I’ll give it to you.
But you have to make sure the special effects for "The Martian" are completed before then, otherwise it will really become a joke..."
Han Sanping looked at Lin Nan and said solemnly.
"Don't worry, Director Han. When I go to Hollywood in November, three-quarters of the special effects will be done. The rest can definitely be completed within half a year.
I just want to have a good seat first for peace of mind. When others see it, they have to at least consider whether they can confront me head-on. "
"You are quite capable of figuring it out. Once "The Martian" is released there, even if you bring Zhang Yimou here, he will have to go around you for the sake of box office."
"Haha, Director Han is right, that's the truth."
Lin Nan was interviewed by reporters at China Film. The release date for The Martian has been confirmed.
Now, the Internet is completely lively.
Many peer companies feel very aggrieved.
National Day is a rare good time of the year. Once Lin Nan took possession of it, it almost became his own.
Any movie that has some box office expectations will no longer consider October.
On the other hand, the original plan of "The King of Kung Fu" also failed.
I was originally going for May Day, but who would have expected that in December, with the document above, the seven-day holiday would be cut into three days.
A big time slot was just gone.
The Olympic atmosphere in the capital is getting stronger.
Lin Nan had intentionally contacted Zhou Yi before. He was very envious of the other party's behind-the-scenes team. The only people in China who could compare with them were the Tang people.
But the feedback is always unsatisfactory.
There has been a bit of loosening up recently.
As for the reason, Lin Nan can probably guess some.
Zhou Yi's long-term support of one person is not a healthy development model, and it is far inferior to the Tang Dynasty's method of always bringing in new people.
Coupled with the popularity of the drama and the popularity of the characters, the actors have always been tepid.
The result was that other actors left one after another.
For example, Zhang Jin is preparing to get married in the past two days.
"It seems because too many artists have left, and we can't hire famous actors, and we're not willing to let our own family members play supporting roles.
The most important thing is the financial problem. The output is low, the type is single, and the packaging is not good. It can no longer keep up with the market.
Although it is a hit, the income is really not as good as other TV drama production companies..."
Yue Jun analyzed the situation of Zhouyi to Lin Nan.
"So, you are saying that you will consider our investment suggestions, but you are actually still holding on?" Lin Nan asked.
"Well, that's probably what I mean, but it's better than rejecting it outright before.
This kind of thing, once you have some ideas, it will be much easier later. "
Lin Nan nodded. A good TV drama team is not easy to assemble. The cost of raising people by yourself is too high, and it is impossible to make a profit within a few years anyway.
It's okay to hire all outsiders now, but when the remuneration and costs skyrocket, it will be really difficult.
"With Zhou Yi, the plan remains unchanged and we are still in contact.
Also, go to the Magic City as soon as possible, Cai Yinong is already urging you..."
"Well, I'll sign the contract this afternoon."
