Chapter 265 Schedule, Gossip

No one in the industry expected that Shanhai Media would sign a second artist so quickly, and that the artist was from Shanghai Theatre Academy.

However, compared to this news, Han Geng's signing attracted more attention in the industry.

Huayi, Tianyu, Bona, Yinghuang and other big companies offered their bids.

Yinghuang, in particular, offered a signing fee of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, as well as two to three movies a year and the bargaining chip of co-starring with Jackie Chan in Hollywood movies.

Such a high price has exceeded the market price.

Lin Nan knew that from this year, the entertainment industry would begin to change drastically, with financial capital entering the market, and money would be much easier to make.

"Director Lin, the Asian International Film Festival has sent an invitation."

"Same as always, turn it down."

Since "The Thief" used three Hong Kong actors, they began to contact Lin Nan.

Two days ago, it was a guest invitation for the Academy Awards, and today it is another for the Hong Kong International Film Festival. It's pretty nice to think about it.

Hong Kong and Taiwan have seen the prosperity of the mainland film and television industry, and a large number of actors and artists have collectively moved north.

"Good and bad are mixed, there are all kinds of people."

Lin Nan thought of Zhou Jie's recent Weibo post.

The content bluntly said that the words, behaviors, and butts of those people in the original "Return of the Pearl" crew were crooked...

Those mainland actors all said they were unaware of it, letting one person fight against a group.

It is normal to flatter the powerful and trample the weak, but this time Fan Bingbing, Zhao Yanzi and others all said they had nothing to do with it and said they didn't know. This statement is basically understood by anyone with a discerning eye.

Lin Nan specifically greeted Guo Fan and Lu Yang. When they are casting for movies in the future, if they want to use Hong Kong actors, they must make a careful decision, and those from Taiwan must be even more careful...

...

It seems that everyone wants to try their hand in directing.

Gu Changwei and his wife jointly sent out invitations to the premiere of the movie to the circle.

The movie written and directed by Jiang Wenli will be released soon.

The guests were all big names, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, Wu Yusen, Tang Jili...

Lin Nan took Guo Fan and the other two to show up, but left after a short stay.

How good can a semi-autobiographical movie by a novice be? They went there just to give face.

But it must be said that to get into this circle, you need connections and relationships.

For example, Jiang Wenli's niece not only starred in the movie, but was also introduced and recommended by her aunt to big directors.

How dare those students who have no connections outside to think of such a good thing.

"Director Lin, others have recommended her niece to you. It doesn't matter how big the role is, as long as there are shots. Tsk tsk..."

Lu Yang sighed. Although Jiang Wenli also introduced Ma Sichun to them, the treatment Lin Nan received was completely incomparable.

"It's just politeness. Who will take it seriously? You? Or me and Jiang Wen?"

Lin Nan shook his head and teased.

However, it must be admitted that with Jiang Wenli and Gu Changwei, Ma Sichun's starting point is definitely the highest among actors of the same age.

…

Three films including "Thieves" have all obtained public screening permits without any accidents.

All production companies are now waiting for Lin Nan Pictures to announce the film schedule, especially the release date of "Thieves".

"The Thieves Alliance has obtained a public screening permit, and some unscheduled films claim that they will consider staggering the same schedule..."

Some media with good intentions went to interview Feng Xiaogang because "Earthquake" has already been scheduled.

"The release date of "Earthquake" will not be changed. It should be that other films are considering avoiding us..."

…

Lin Nan saw this news and agreed with Feng Xiaogang's statement. "Earthquake" is clearly officially booked. Only a fool would release it in the same schedule as it.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Nan Pictures announced the release dates of several films to the outside world.

"The Sword of the Assassin" will be released on August 1, which is the summer season.

"Thieves" is scheduled for September 30, aiming at the National Day.

Love Is Not Blind was chosen to be released on Singles' Day, and the atmosphere was just right.

"It won't change after it's decided?" Jiang Wen called to confirm.

"It won't change, you can choose a time for Let the Bullets Fly."

"It's chosen, it's set for the Lunar New Year in mid-December. Damn, life or death depends on this one time."

Jiang Wen cursed, with a desperate momentum.

There are now three big directors in the Lunar New Year.

Feng Xiaogang is preparing for If You Are the One 2, and it hasn't been filmed yet, but the release date has been set.

Chen Kaige's The Orphan of Zhao has just started shooting and has also set that time.

Lin Nan thinks the Lunar New Year is too chaotic, and doesn't want to wait for the Spring Festival, so he just chose the National Day.

Sure enough, after the release date of Thief was announced, many movies scheduled for the National Day were either advanced or postponed.

There are a small number of low-cost movies that hope that Thief will drive the market and eat the leftovers, so there is no change of schedule, of course, this is only limited to low-cost movies.

For example, Huayi's "The Empire of Heaven and Earth" is now in trouble.

Originally, Huayi also planned to release it during the National Day, but now it has to consider whether that time can accommodate two movies with an investment of hundreds of millions.

"Why didn't he choose the National Day? It's unlucky."

"While we haven't decided on a date yet, let's change it?"

Wang Zhonglei glanced at Wang Zhongjun, who looked gloomy, and suggested.

"Then let's change it. It's not easy to sign a series contract with Xu Ke. Don't let Lin Nan kill the first one..."

"Then when should we change it?"

"Go half a month earlier, to mid-September."

"Okay, I'll have someone report to China Film Group."

…………

Many acquaintances joked with Lin Nan, saying that he was just an animal, and that he scared away all other movies when he entered the theater.

"You are now famous, and it has spread all over the mainland and Hong Kong Island. Now there is only one blockbuster left in the National Day period."

Lin Nan smiled and said nothing. He did not expect this result.

"But it's good. There should be less direct collisions between domestic big-budget commercial films, and they should be united against the outside world..."

Han Sanping nodded and instructed.

Less than two days later, the media saw the news of "Lucy" on the official website of China Film Group again.

"Liu Yifei starred in "Lucy" and it was scheduled to be released on July 1st."

Hollywood movies with big female protagonists are not only envied by peers, but also by big stars.

Since a long time ago, Hongxingwu has received movie invitations almost every day.

Especially after "Inception", the number of crews looking for Liu Yifei has increased dramatically, and 99% of the scripts are not very good.

But the more she refused, the more invitations she received.

Liu Yifei was sitting in the garden reading a script at the moment.

"Which crew wants to invite you?"

Lin Nan walked up to her and asked.

"It's a remake of a movie. The remake is quite interesting and very different from the original."

Liu Yifei looked up at Lin Nan and smiled.

"Remake? What movie?"

"Here, A Chinese Ghost Story."

Lin Nan covered his face with one hand, then put it down, and couldn't help laughing, "Haha..."

"What are you laughing at? You haven't even seen it."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Lin Nan, a little angry. She knew Lin Nan, and he was definitely laughing at her again.

"Xixi, I know it even without reading the script. It's definitely going to fail."

"Why?" Liu Yifei bit her silver teeth, as if you must explain it to me clearly.

"The two of them have made a deep impression on people's hearts with their A Chinese Ghost Story.

If you remake the movie according to the plot, you can't surpass it, and it's easy to be criticized by comparison. If you change the plot drastically, you'll be criticized even more.

If you remake this movie, unless you can surpass the previous one at once, you'll lose both ways. Do you understand now?"

Lin Nan pinched Miss Liu's smooth face and asked with a chuckle.

Although she was a little unconvinced, Liu Yifei understood what Lin Nan said, which was to say that she couldn't accept the script.

"Hmph, you're right, okay?" Miss Liu was convinced.

Lin Nan smiled and took the script from Liu Yifei and flipped through it.

The script was not good, nor was it bad, but it was harmful to Liu Yifei.

"How much is the salary for giving you the script?"

Lin Nan knew that Liu Yifei's current salary was the highest among young actresses.

"Eight million."

Speaking of this, Liu Yifei was a little arrogant.

Lin Nan was also stunned. He expected it to be around 6 million. Why did it increase so much?

If the other young actresses heard this price, no, Zhou Xun would curse.

When the latter was filming "Painted Skin", Lin Nan only paid 4 million yuan for it, and it has just increased to 6 million this year.

"Awesome, let alone actors born after 1985, even if we count actors born after 1980, you are now the highest paid in movies."

"You are good at talking."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, and then thought of the script, "I will ask my mother to reject them."

Liu Yifei can listen to what is said now, but sometimes she is too emotional and does not think thoroughly enough, and needs others to point it out.

…………

There is always gossip in the entertainment industry.

First, because of the fraudulent donation incident, Zhang Ziyi lost 80% to 90% of the big-name endorsements. Now she is still trying to calm down the negative impact.

Here, Jin Qiaoqiao's mobile phone scandal came out again.

The consequence of losing a mobile phone is that a large number of "intermediary" text messages and "drinking companion" photos in it were exposed.

"Although they are all small-time actresses, female models, and female students from art schools below the third tier, this is too rampant, isn't it?"

"Isn't this the unspoken rule in this circle? All we can do is to manage ourselves."

Lin Nan looked at Guo Fan, who was shocked, and answered. Anyway, the actresses of Shanhai Media will never be "sold" in the future.

I don't know who did it, but this matter disappeared from several news websites in just two days. It was quite fast.

...

Ning Hao got 50 million investment this time, but he was more stingy than before in hiring actors.

He lobbied the actors from the previous three movies one by one, asking them to join with low pay or to make cameos for free.

When Lin Nan was called to Bad Monkey, he saw Huang Bo mocking Ning Hao there.

"I am a Golden Horse Film Emperor after all, how can you not give me a dime?"

"Talking about money hurts our relationship?" Ning Hao smiled and patted Huang Bo.

"You, you are really stingy."

"Haha, at worst, I can give you an extra lunch box when we start filming..."

"Get lost..."
