Chapter 293 Literary Romance Film
Lin Nan saw the makeup photos of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" on the Internet.
Yue Jun asked about the copyright at the beginning, but it was too late.
The actors are still the same actors, Sun Li, Chen Jianbin, Cai Shaofen, Jiang Xin...
Zheng Xiaolong and his wife personally took charge of the production, and were unanimously optimistic about the TV drama circle.
Lin Nan saw the photo of Jiang Xin.
Alas, they had dinner together at the beginning.
How come the beautiful girl looks so much stronger now?
Even Liu Yifei was a little stunned when she saw the photo.
…
Sometimes, character can only be seen after something happens.
It's okay that "Fist of Fury" was beaten by "The Mystery of the Phantom Flame", but the key is that it was also suppressed by the art film "The Hawthorn Tree".
From the third day, its daily box office was basically locked below 7 million, and there was no hope of a comeback.
At this moment, Zhen Zidan, who was still friendly during the previous promotion, suddenly changed his face.
When attending the endorsement event, he said frankly that the bad movie was not his fault, but the responsibility of the team...
In order to maintain his reputation and image after "Ip Man", this "Master Ip" has become a little shameless.
This kind of person should not be made close friends.
The premiere of "Thieves" is getting closer and closer, and the film market seems to be in a state of panic.
At this time, Zhang Yimou came out to add fuel to the fire.
"The film "The Flowers of War" will start shooting at the end of the year."
"Six people have been selected for the "Flowers of War"..."
"150 acres of land will be built in Jinling..."
"Although it has not been filmed yet, we have set the release date, which is December 16 next year!"
...
The earliest news about this movie was when the Olympics just ended.
In the end, we didn't wait for "The Flowers of War", but waited for "Three Guns", which disgusted all the audience.
Now two years have passed, and there is finally a definite news.
Zhang Yimou's historical drama is destined to be another movie that countless actors in the circle are watching.
The most important thing is that there are really many female characters in this movie!
For a time, countless actresses looked over.
In Lin Nan's opinion, Zhang Weiping would definitely be unable to resist stretching his claws in such a movie with such a large room for maneuver.
Especially in the casting of actors, or interfering with the plot filming.
Lin Nan remembered that the last "Three Guns" incident had already given Zhang Yimou some ideas.
If Zhang Weiping doesn't learn his lesson this time, the result will definitely be a quarrel...
Miss Liu didn't clamor to audition this time, because she and Lin Nan had already decided on the next movie to shoot.
The time came to the 24th.
After "The Hawthorn Tree" got 45 million in five days, the total box office rushed to 88 million in another five days.
Looking at this strong momentum, it will soon break 100 million and will definitely break the record of "Mei Lanfang".
The last few days of September.
In the movie market, "The Empire of Heaven" is the only one, followed by "The Hawthorn Tree", and "Fist of Fury" has already sunk into the sea.
"Lin Nan, remember the premiere, you as a director must not forget it."
Han Sanping called to remind him once, and the venue this time was chosen in the CPPCC Auditorium.
Generally, only big movies or big directors would choose these places. If they fail, it would be a joke.
"Don't worry, how could I forget the premiere of my movie."
Lin Nan admired Han Sanping for having such worries.
"Sword Rain" was really miserable.
It seems that there is no environment for pure martial arts movies to survive in China.
This movie, which cost 14 million US dollars and nearly 100 million yuan, only had a box office of 5.5 million on the first day.
How can it be played?
Lin Nan heard that it was released overseas two days earlier, and the box office was also extremely bad. Wu Yusen became cannon fodder this time.
Now, there is only one movie left in September, "Thief".
All media turned their attention to it.
…………
On the morning of the 29th.
Lin Nan sat in the garden leisurely, eating melon seeds.
The driver was waiting on the side.
"Do you want to come over and eat something?
Yifei will probably need half an hour to an hour."
"Thank you, Director Lin, I don't need it."
The driver smiled and refused. Others are polite, but you have to be sensible.
After a long time, Liu Yifei's female assistant came out first, followed by Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei.
Today, Miss Liu wore a light blue gauze skirt and high heels.
On her smooth neck, there was only a simple platinum necklace and a bracelet on her right wrist, a real lady from a noble family.
Looking at Liu Xiaoli again, she was wearing the glass jade necklace that Lin Nan had given her before, which looked very noble.
Today, the mother and daughter will go to the premiere together.
"Let's go."
…………
The cast of "Thieves" is very strong.
Led by Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, and Zhang Hanyu, the ten-member starring team made the media extremely excited.
"Tell me, the director is not with the actors, is this reasonable?"
Zhang Yi joked with a smile.
"I can help you pass on this to Director Lin or Yifei later." Luo Jin smiled.
"Just kidding, don't take it seriously."
"Director Lin should be with Yifei, right?" Fan Bingbing rolled his eyes and guessed it.
Fan Bingbing thought that her luck was really good this year. Although she had several dramas, only two of them were the most important to her.
One is "The Orphan of Zhao" by Chen Kaige, and the other is "The Thief" by Lin Nan.
She is the only one in the industry to participate in films directed by Palme d'Or and Golden Lion at the same time.
What's more, Lin Nan's commercial films have always done very well at the box office...
"Let's go to the red carpet first. It seems we won't be able to wait for Director Lin for a while." Liu Dehua suggested.
"Okay, let's go first, so as not to have a main creator inside, which is not good."
Liang Jiahui nodded in agreement.
Ten people walked onto the red carpet, which was a spectacular scene.
Among them, Fan Bingbing was even more dressed in a red dress, squeezing Yan Danchen to death.
…
At this time, there were many guests in the auditorium.
Zhang Yimou reciprocated the favor and came to support him, bringing with him the newly signed Zhou Dongyu.
From time to time, people come over to inquire about "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".
Han Sanping was the absolute center, with almost all the big names surrounding him.
After Liu Dehua and others entered the venue, they instantly blended into the crowd.
…………
A car parked outside and Lin Nan stepped out.
Then he helped Liu Xiaoli get out of the car first, and then Liu Yifei...
The reporters were excited, the real owner was here.
“Director Lin, I wish you a great success at the box office.
Just pose with Yifei and give us something to eat, haha..."
"Then you have to take better pictures."
"no problem."
"Absolutely no problem..."
Liu Xiaoli looked on and laughed, and her silly daughter used scissors again.
…
The premiere of "Thieves" was hosted by Han Sanping, and the size and quality of the guests were incredible.
The moment Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and her daughter came in, they were noticed by most people.
"Sissi, please take Auntie to her seat first."
"Well, mom, let's go over there, in the first row."
…
Lin Nan walked towards the crowd, and the voices of greetings kept coming and going.
At a glance, they are all acquaintances, and they are all people who have worked with him before.
"Director Han, let's make a quick decision today. We can put the cocktail party and socializing later..."
Han Sanping nodded, business is more important.
"It will start in a moment."
…………
After half an hour, the venue became quiet.
Ten people, including Lin Nan and Liu Dehua, sat in a row on the stage.
In the first row below, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli were sitting in the middle, with Han Sanping, Zhang Yimou and others beside them.
After looking at each other and Liu Yifei, Lin Nan started to get down to business.
"Many friends from the media may be wondering why the promotion of "Thieves" only started half a month before its release."
There were chatter below, and many nodded in agreement.
“Actually, I don’t think it’s necessary to go so early.
Since I set the release date of "Thieves" on September 30th.
You can obviously see that many movies have avoided it, haha..."
After saying this, many people laughed. Lin Nan was a little immodest today, but what he said was true.
…………
Journalists are bold.
"Interviewing Liu Tianwang, which movie do you think will have a higher box office, "The Empire of Heaven" or "The Thief"?
There were so many people on the court who thought Liu Dehua would smooth things over, but they didn't expect him to be very direct.
"To be honest, I'm optimistic about "Thieves"."
"Isn't it because today is the premiere of "Thieves"?"
"No. Director Lin's commercial films are obvious to all, and I pointed at him to wash away my bad reputation as a box office poison, haha..."
Even Lin Nan accepted Liu Dehua's answer.
First, let me insult myself. It is Lin Nan’s credit that the box office is good. If it is not, he will take the blame.
This emotional intelligence is very high.
The reporter didn't stop and the leading actors went to ask questions one by one.
…
"I think our "Thieves" can set a new box office record..." Fan Bingbing said with a smile.
…
The movie officially premieres.
From the very beginning, there is a seductive scene between Fan Bingbing and Hui Yinghong pretending to be mother and daughter.
Under the tight clothes, Fan Bingbing's perfect figure made the media and industry colleagues stare wide-eyed...
Was it so eye-catching from the beginning?
Director Lin’s drama is a bit different from the previous ones!
…
Luo Jin was attacked on the chest by a gay man...
Fan Bingbing and Luo Jin kissed...
…
Lin Nan admitted that this drama is indeed a bit different from his previous ones.
The two-hour movie ended quickly, leaving the audience a little unsatisfied.
The comedy effect is very good, there are many action scenes, there are many difficult special effects shots, and the IQ is online...
Many people think that Lin Nan's movie might really be possible...
"Don't ask me what my box office expectations are. I won't answer this question today. Let the audience and fans give the answer after it is released."
Lin Nan took the lead and set the tone.
A group of media members were a little confused. If they didn’t ask this question, why would they ask it? What everyone wanted to ask the most was this.
"Director Lin, do you have any plans for a new movie after "The Thief"?"
Lin Nan glanced at Liu Yifei, who had a smile on his face.
When their eyes met, Liu Yifei's eyes seemed to be saying: "Answer quickly!"
"Yes, yes."
After Lin Nan finished speaking, everyone looked at him, "Good guy, a big fish exploded out."
This is the first time Lin Nan has such a high work efficiency!
In the first row, Han Sanping, Ye Ning and others all looked at Lin Nan. Even Liu Dehua and others on the stage were curious.
what movie? Does it conflict with my own schedule?
"Director Lin, can you tell me what movie it is?"
A reporter asked impatiently, today is going to be a big harvest.
"Then take advantage of today's occasion to tell everyone."
The scene fell silent in an instant.
"I'm going to shoot an art love film next..."
The actors were more excited than the media.
They don't need to be paid for the art film directed by Jin Shi!
Lin Nan continued, "It's because of director Zhang Yimou."
Zhang Yimou below instantly thought of "The Hawthorn Tree" with a smile on his face. There was only this reason.
"I have already written the script for this movie, and the name is "The Fault in Our Stars."
This name sounds very arty!
All the actors were excited.
…………
By the way, "The Fault in Our Stars" is adapted from a novel, but according to the timeline in the book, the original novel has not been written yet.
