Chapter 304 Let the Bullets Fly, the Small-Minded Lin Nan, Copyright

Many people in the industry know that the film selectors of the Berlin Film Festival have approached Lin Nan.

But no one expected that the latter would eventually reject the invitation of the film festival.

"Director Lin Nan declined the invitation of the film festival and promised to bring his works to Berlin again in the future."

"The Fault in Our Stars will not be at the Berlin International Film Festival."

"Liu Yifei lost an opportunity to challenge the best actress of the three major film festivals..."

The film industry knows that if Lin Nan is willing to go to Berlin, he will definitely be shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Many directors are both jealous and helpless.

Because the shortlisting step is easy for Lin Nan, but it is a threshold that many domestic directors cannot cross.

It really fits the saying: drought dies of drought, flood dies of flood.

…………

Film and television companies and celebrity studios in the industry are posting on Weibo, showing photos of the annual meeting, gifts and year-end bonuses.

The studios of Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming and others all gave laptops, cash, and a few cars and diamonds.

Lin Nan Films was not idle either, and spent a day to get the annual meeting done.

Ordinary employees will receive three months' extra salary, and management will receive additional bonuses and gifts.

…

This level of Shanhai Media.

Zhang Yi is in the crew of Pacific Rim, and Yang Mi heard that he is still recording songs. There are four artists, but only two have arrived.

Lei Jiayin sat next to Reba, bragging about his former glory in school.

I don't know how much is true or false, but the latter nodded from time to time and seemed to cooperate seriously.

"Zhang Yi is in the crew and can't come back, so why don't I take his share for him?"

When handing out the red envelope, Lei Jiayin said with a big smile.

"I'll call him, you tell him?"

"Haha, forget it then..."

Reba was a little embarrassed. So far, she hasn't made a penny, and the money she usually spends in school is from the company...

"For you."

"Thank you, thank you Sister Yifei."

"You're welcome..."

Liu Yifei said with a smile.

It was the first time someone called her sister, and Miss Liu was still a little uncomfortable, but it felt good, very good!

Soon, the two girls started chatting...

The box office of "The Orphan of Zhao" exceeded 100 million amidst a chorus of negative reviews.

Interestingly, as more and more negative news about the crew of "The Orphan of Zhao" came out, the daily box office actually remained stable!

It even caught up with and exceeded the total box office of "The Laughing Man".

But everyone in the industry knows that Chen Kaige probably doesn't care about the box office anymore.

What he cares about is fame and honor, and these two things have fallen to the bottom again!

The Lunar New Year file has actually just begun.

Jiang Wen regards "Let the Bullets Fly" as his comeback work, and the premiere was held more than a week in advance on the 10th.

Everyone is very curious about why such a movie name was chosen, and it is said that it was Lin Nan who chose it.

Liu Yifei has always wanted to know why Lin Nan rejected Jiang Wen's invitation to her movie last time.

"After watching this movie today, you will know why I don't agree with you taking his role."

Lin Nan leaned against the door and said while waiting for Liu Yifei.

"You said that, I'm looking forward to the premiere even more."

Half an hour later, Liu Yifei finished her makeup, and the two got in the car and set off.

…………

Jiang Wen can be said to be an old man in the circle, with a wide range of friends.

It is conceivable that there will be no shortage of guests present today.

The dozens of meters of red carpet, with a red signature wall, and a large number of etiquette ladies welcoming guests, playing quite fancy.

When Lin Nan helped Liu Yifei get off the car, Han Sanping also arrived.

The latter was wearing a Zhongshan suit, glanced at the two, and smiled:

"It's just right to walk together?"

"Walking the red carpet with President Han, I'd love to." Lin Nan agreed immediately.

When the reporters saw the three people walking on the red carpet, the cameras in their hands became busy instantly.

Taking the pen handed over by the etiquette lady, the three signed their names.

"This project is mainly invested by Yinghuang, and China Film only has a small share. I wonder what the final profit situation will be?"

Han Sanping muttered and looked at Lin Nan.

"We will know after the release."

Lin Nan replied. He held Liu Yifei's hand, and the two of them followed Han Sanping half a body behind and followed him into the venue.

There were many big names today!

Yang Shoucheng was surrounded in the center, with Jiang Wen, Zhou Runfa, Jackie Chan, Feng Xiaogang, Ge You and others on the side.

On the side were Gu Changwei and his wife, Xia Yu, Yuan Quan, Liu Jialing, Na Ying and many other actors and stars from the mainland and Hong Kong Island.

The originally orderly venue shifted its focus instantly with the appearance of Han Sanping.

"Boss Han, you are here..."

"Boss Han..."

"Boss Han, Director Lin..."

...

In less than a minute, Han Sanping became the new center of the audience.

Liu Yifei lowered her head and tried to hold back her laughter. This scene was too interesting.

"Director Lin, Yifei."

Jackie Chan walked over with a smile on his face.

"Brother, long time no see."

"Hello, Jackie Chan."

"Yifei is doing really well now, your movie is great!"

"Thank you, brother."

"To be honest, I really regret rejecting your movie "The Thief" and letting them both get a bargain."

Lin Nan couldn't tell whether the other party was sincere or just being polite, after all, he was an actor for decades.

"It's all in the past, there will be opportunities in the future, right?"

"Yes, next time you have a suitable role, just call me directly."

...

Lin Nan was pulled to Han Sanping's place, and Liu Yifei was also dealing with a group of actresses.

She is not only a top commercial film actress now, but also a producer, so it is natural that the actors are making friends with her.

After a round, Lin Nan has seen the "inheritance" in this circle.

Jackie Chan brought his son, Jiang Wenli brought her niece, and if you count them carefully, there are no less than 10 second-generation stars!

"Director Lin..."

Yang Shoucheng held a wine glass, giving people a gentlemanly look, with Huo Wenxi and Bai Bing behind him.

"Director Yang, I wish your film a big hit."

"Thank you. Director Lin, can you find a time to talk?"

"What to talk about?"

"Is there really no chance for "Ip Man"?"

Yang Shoucheng suppressed his throat, and his voice was not loud.

Lin Nan shook his head, "I said at the beginning that this project would be shelved. I have no intention of restarting it in the short term."

"Then can Director Lin make an offer?"

At this moment, Lin Nan admired Yang Shoucheng a little bit, he was quite resourceful.

"I have no intention of selling it, Mr. Yang, you don't need to talk about it.

If I restart it one day, I will inform Ying Huang."

There is one thing Lin Nan didn't say. At that time, he would probably change the actors.

The scene was a bit awkward for a while, and Huo Wenxi smoothed it over in time:

"Director Lin, do you still remember her? She also performed in "Let the Bullets Fly" this time. Please comment on her later."

"Well..."

...

...

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sat in the first row.

The interview had already begun on the stage, and the producers, directors, and leading actors spoke one by one.

"This movie was very enjoyable to shoot. I seem to have found a new direction. Everyone, please give me some suggestions after watching it."

Jiang Wen was the last to speak, with a hint of meaning.

The main film began.

It turned out that Jiang Wen really broke through this time.

He was not a commercial film director before, but he successfully transformed himself in this movie.

The quality of "Let the Bullets Fly" can be seen from the laughter that came and went at the scene.

Liu Yifei grabbed Lin Nan's hand with a cunning look in her eyes.

"I know why you didn't let me take Director Jiang's role."

"Why?"

"Hehe, you are narrow-minded, afraid that I will expose myself in the scenes and other scenes..."

Lin Nan smiled and moved closer, almost face to face.

"Yes, I am not narrow-minded, just enough to accommodate you."

The breath hit my face, and there was a moment of silence...

"Well, Director Jiang's movie is really not suitable for me..."

Liu Yifei nodded and said, the smile on her face was about to overflow, she was very satisfied with Lin Nan's answer.

…………

The people below laughed non-stop, this movie is really great.

In Lin Nan's opinion, it is so fantastic that "Let the Bullets Fly" can pass the review!

Otherwise, with so many vulgar and obscene lines, a large number of metaphors, bed scenes, violence, and nude scenes, it is really hard to say.

"He is dancing on the edge of a knife this time."

Han Sanping next to him couldn't help but sigh.

"But I think the audience should like it." Lin Nan added.

"Hmm? It's rare to see you so sure about other people's movies!"

Han Sanping looked at Lin Nan, "How much do you think Jiang Wen can sell this time?"

"Not a small amount."

Before Han Sanping asked, there was a deafening applause from the audience.

Jiang Wen picked up the microphone.

"First of all, thank Director Lin Nan for giving this movie a name that fits this movie very well."

"Thank you again, Director Ying Huangyang, for investing in me."

…

"Let the Bullets Fly" will compete head-on with "If You Are the One 2".

When asked about the box office, Jiang Wen glanced at Feng Xiaogang sitting on the stage and stretched out a hand:

"Again, I am confident that I can guarantee 500 million yuan, and by the way, I can beat Director Feng..."

Many people who have been to the premiere of "The Orphan of Zhao" were happy, and they said the same thing, but Jiang Wen should have more hope.

…………

"After 500 million yuan, remember to send me a red envelope."

At the banquet, Lin Nan joked.

"Thanks to Director Lin, there will definitely be a red envelope, haha..."

"Yifei, my movie is pretty good, right?" Jiang Wen thought of something and asked Liu Yifei.

"Well, Director Jiang's movie is very good."

"Then would you like to consider my next movie? As long as you ask, I will write you a heroine."

"No, I'm not suitable." Liu Yifei smiled and refused.

"Ah? That's a pity!"

Jiang Wen shook his head and sighed.

Bringing Liu Yifei is equivalent to getting Lin Nan for free. The bonus on the box office must be at least 100 million?

…………

"Let the Bullets Fly" is about to be released.

Chen Kaige's "The Orphan of Zhao" seems to have come to an end.

After 14 days of release, it closed at 175 million, as if it had squeezed out all its reputation and potential, and the daily box office dropped to more than 300,000.

Looking at the domestic film market, no big director's movie has ever had this situation.

In less than half a month, the potential is exhausted and the reputation is lost!

Director Chen has set a record again.

…

…

The news that the “Ip Man” project was shelved spread in the industry.

Since the morning, calls have been coming to Lin Nan one after another.

There are many people who are curious and have plans to make money because of the shelving of this sure-win project.

"I didn't even write the script, where did "Ip Man 3" come from?"

"I don't know what the situation is yet. Let me find out more about it first..."

"Lin Nan, please read the news first."

…

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan hurriedly flipped through the morning news.

Twenty minutes later, he finally figured out the reason.

The 3D live-action version of "Havoc in Heaven" has been in production for more than a month, and a press conference was held this morning.

Some media asked Donnie Yen a question, asking when the filming of "Ip Man 3" would start.

The other party sneered and replied directly to the reporter:

"After "Ip Man 2" was released, my team communicated with Ying Huang, and the final reply we got was that the project was stopped..."

Everything was fine when I got here.

As a result, after Donnie Yen's manager came down, he told reporters again.

The subtext is: Ying Huang doesn't want a salary increase, not even 10 million...

Everyone in the industry knows that in the "Ip Man" series, Lin Nan only provided the script and funds, and Ying Huang was responsible for all the filming.

But once this incident came out, it was inevitable that everyone would pay attention to him.

…………

Yang Shoucheng was furious at this moment.

"Ten million, now it becomes ten million again? Is he looking for death?"

There was a buzzing sound, and the caller ID read Lin Nan.

Yang Shoucheng adjusted his mood instantly and answered the phone.

"Hello, Director Lin?"

…

Ten minutes later, the call ended.

"Director Yang, what did Director Lin say?"

Huo Wenxi asked quickly.

"Go and make an announcement, two meanings.

First, "Ip Man 3" currently has no script;

Secondly, Zhen Zi alone is not worth 30 million, not the 10 million they say. "

"Okay, I'll go right away."

…

In less than half an hour, Huo Wenxi’s announcement appeared on Yinghuang’s official website and Weibo.

No one in this circle is a fool.

With an offer of 30 million, it is really possible for Zhen Zidan to make such an offer.

After all, "Ip Man 2" was really popular at that time.

As for the script not being produced, that seems to make sense. After all, Lin Nan Pictures has been releasing movies in the second half of the year.

Lin Nan also wrote the script for "The Star" two months ago, and directed and starred in it with Liu Yifei...

…

Donnie Yen's manager came back with a sad look on his face, he had just been mentioned.

"We were reckless this time. From now on, don't respond to this topic..."

"okay."

…

The media soon discovered that Donnie Yen was silent. He wanted to ask for an interview, but he refused on the grounds of filming.

Now it seems clear who is right and who is wrong...

Lin Nan looked at the gossip on the Internet and admired these people for being able to write about anything.

When it comes to Zhen Zidan, it's impossible to be banned unless he offends the bureau. Yinghuang doesn't have that ability yet.

"Only let the market abandon him!"

…

Zhang Yimou's "Thirteen Hairpins" crew has very strict requirements.

Lin Nan saw that four actors were fired just because they posted photos of the training base classroom on Weibo and were groped by reporters.

One of them is the one who played Chang'e in "The Prequel to the Lotus Lantern".

"Thirteen Chai" suddenly had four empty seats.

Before the actresses in the industry could react, the replacement actors were already in place, and the competition was fierce, which is evident.

…

"The Orphan of Zhao" should be the most embarrassing movie for Chen Kaige so far.

It was released for 14 days and had a box office of 175 million. It was canceled within a few days because the daily box office was only a few tens of thousands of yuan.

Media reports did not leave any face to Chen Kaige

""The Orphan of Zhao" was withdrawn early and the box office revenue was 180 million!"

"Has director Chen Kaige exhausted his talents?"

""Laughing in the River" has reached 150 million, reaching the expected box office target!"

…

There are many people watching Chen Kaige lively, but Director Chen is still quite strong.

Chen Hong posted on Weibo, responding on behalf of Director Chen:

"Director Chen has begun to devote himself to the adaptation of "Kukai no Samana: The Ghost Banquet of the Tang Dynasty". At the same time, he will also conceive and create another movie..."

…

"Director Lin, the special effects of "Painting Wall" are completed."

Lin Nan closed the news page when he heard someone calling him.

"Notify the light side and ask them to send someone over for inspection."

The special effects in this movie are really just hard-earned money.

In the afternoon, the Rays directly sent Chen Jiashang over.

Originally it was to see the special effects, but in the end it became a visit to the Tiangong Colors.

"Director Chen, don't go there."

"Isn't it convenient?"

"That's the "Warring States" project team. I have to consider the client." Lin Nan said with a smile.

When Chen Jiashang heard this, he realized that he was shocked.

"What Director Lin said is that I'm fascinated by it. You have so much equipment here."

"It's all money." Lin Nan joked.

"There are also some special effects companies on Hong Kong Island, but the equipment is still from many years ago and is very outdated..."

Chen Jia Shang felt this.

"I guess all future films from Raytheon will come to Director Lin, and we will see them often."

"There will be no discounts in the future. Director Wang can't be too stingy."

Lin Nan said jokingly, but this was no joke.

…

"Let the Bullets Fly" is released.

The first day box office closed at 30.18 million, and this was when there were not enough copies.

China Film Distribution Company worked overtime overnight to develop and print copies...

The theaters unanimously agreed that Jiang Wen's commercial film would become famous.

Various flirtatious lines instantly spread across the Internet. The audience's evaluation was almost unanimously good!

"In public, and let the husband watch on the side..."

"The master is tall, the county magistrate is tough..."

"Let the bullet fly for a while..."

...

Lin Nan knew that this movie had already gained momentum. Jiang Wen is about to successfully enter the ranks of commercial film directors, and will play more in the future.

Yue Jun returned to the company with the latest harvest.

"Director Lin, this time it cost a lot, the key is that many copyrights are separated, it takes time, effort and money."

"Let me see."

Yue Jun handed the detailed list to Lin Nan.

The latter's eyes lit up in an instant, "You really have a good eye!"

"Director Lin is polite, I do this, haha."

Lin Nan signed without saying a word.

"Get it done as soon as possible, and don't miss any of the books above."

"Don't worry, I've already talked to them..."

After Yue Jun left the office, Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I have accumulated a lot of novel copyrights, I can't stop in the future.

"They actually bought all the books for me, it seems that they spent a lot of effort, and the money was worth it."

Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow should be back to normal.
