Chapter 342 Box Office Results, Filming

I have to say that Aerospace Science and Technology Group is professional.

The "Xihe" interstellar spacecraft they designed for the movie is full of technology and fantasy.

"Your position in the entire movie is the holographic projection of artificial intelligence. Expression management and lines are the focus."

It was Reba's first time acting, so Lin Nan had to explain the key points clearly to her. Our own artists still need special care.

Although this role does not test acting skills, it has a high appearance rate.

Coupled with the sci-fi cloak of artificial intelligence, it is a very rare opportunity for newcomers and it is a very outstanding role.

It will definitely dazzle and impress the audience.

Reba was slightly excited and nervous, and nodded seriously, "Director Lin, I will act with all my heart."

She knew in her heart that there were countless first- and second-tier actresses out there who were eagerly envious of her as a newcomer.

"Just don't be too nervous. Director Lin won't get angry and curse."

Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun were sitting nearby, eating melon seeds, smiling and encouraging.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm not going to be angry with you, are I? When I was filming "Painted Skin", I made a joke, but he fucked me many times..."

Zhou Xun looked at Liu Yifei and complained.

Lin Nan shook his head and ignored him.

"Hurry to the dressing room, Brother Hua and Lei Jiayin are already putting on makeup."

"Okay, Director Lin."

After speaking, Reba hurried to the dressing room.

Liang Jiahui doesn't have many scenes, so he doesn't need to join the team. When filming starts, it won't be too late.

Zhou Xun, on the other hand, didn't have any scenes in the first few days after filming started, but this guy was so bored that he just came to the crew to eat and drink.

"Here, peel it off."

Liu Yifei stretched out a white and tender hand, which was full of peeled melon seeds.

Lin Nan took it with a smile and poured it into his mouth.

"Have you chosen your sleep cabin?"

"Well, we are next to each other, and this scene must be kept in the final film."

Liu Yifei nodded and said happily.

Zhou Xun couldn't stand it anymore.

"You might as well ask the Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation to build a two-person dormant cabin. I really can't stand it..."

"Oh, what a great idea! Why didn't you think of it then?!"

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and suddenly felt a little regretful.

It's too late to customize it now, and it will make the layout of the sleeping area look awkward.

…………

Liu Dehua, who shaved off his beard and wore a special vest, looked like he was under forty years old.

"I'm an actor, a singer, and an idol, so it's important to stay in shape unless it's a role requirement."

Liu Dehua said without hesitation, looking very confident.

The superstars of this generation have all developed in film, television and singing.

Unlike in the current circle, the chain of contempt is very clear, it is difficult to cross industries, and idols are at the bottom.

"Yesterday afternoon, we were just testing the machine to get a feel for it, and we officially started work today. Brother Hua, we're ready."

"okay."

The machine was arranged in place, Liu Dehua lay down in the sleeping cabin, and Reba was waiting beside him.

When science fiction films are filmed, what everyone sees with the naked eye is more fake and awkward than when filming other types of films.

The first wave of meteorite swarm attacks require special effects in the later stages.

"The first act of Passengers, action!"

One end of the dormant cabin slowly rose, and Liu Dehua inside was awakened, drowsy.

His eyes were confused and empty, like a machine that had not been used for a long time and was trying to restart.

When the camera turned, Reba was already standing in front of Liu Dehua.

In the later stage, Tiangong Color will use special effects to turn Reba's figure into a virtual projection mode.

With a smile on his face, a clear voice sounded.

"Good morning, Mr. Liu, are you feeling okay?"

"What?"

"You're confused, right? This is normal. You just woke up from a 120-year hibernation state..."

"What, where is this?"

"This is the 'Xihe' interstellar immigration spacecraft, and we are about to arrive at our new home."

…

A newcomer will definitely not be able to match Andy Lau's acting skills.

But there is absolutely no problem with this question-and-answer performance, as long as you recite the lines with emotion.

When the first shot shouts "click", the movie officially enters the shooting rhythm.

"Take your time and do well."

Lin Nan gave Reba appropriate encouragement, and the latter immediately had a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Director Lin, thank you, Brother Hua."

Second shot, start preparing.

…………

"Painted Skin 2" is about to be released, and pirated copies are already everywhere. The daily box office dropped by 200,000 yuan.

The media reported on its total domestic box office.

"Painted Skin 2, co-produced by Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, Wanda, Xiying and Ningying, has a total box office of 720 million!"

""Painted Skin 2" surpassed "Let the Bullets Fly" by 12 million, and was promoted to second place in the domestic film box office list!"

"Overseas box office, we will wait for China Film to announce it."

The box office of 720 million makes all industry peers envious. This does not include the copyright sold in Cannes and the box office revenue in Southeast Asia.

Han Sanping was also extremely happy at this moment. He even put aside the fact that "The Great Cause of Party Building" only reported 360 million in one and a half months, which was far from the expected target.

"How's it going in Southeast Asia?"

"According to the news from the distributors, the total box office should add up to 46 million U.S. dollars."

Hearing this number, Han Sanping's eyes sparkled.

"Not bad, 13 million more than the first part, a big profit!"

The secretary suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Mr. Han, the island country has sent an intention to buy out the copyright."

"Then let's wait for Lin Nan to notify him after the filming of today's scene is finished, and let him make the decision."

…………

Huang Xiaoming was a little confused at this moment.

He was just planning to come over to visit the crew before joining the crew, but he was notified to change clothes as soon as he arrived.

"Give him a simple makeup and make a guest appearance as a young scientist."

"Scientist is good, this is OK."

Huang Xiaoming accepted the guest appearance arrangement with a smile. His old classmate Chen Kun is currently acting in "Qian Xuesen".

The first part of "Space Passengers" is all Liu Dehua's one-man show.

In the camera.

As the protagonist, he thought he was really going to reach his destination, and he was in a particularly good mood.

After washing and dressing up, he prepared to follow the guidance of artificial intelligence to participate in skills training to adapt to life on the new earth.

"Cut."

"Brother Hua, when you realize something is wrong in the scene, do you need to prepare for the outburst of emotions?"

"Yes, you can prepare for it."

In the distance, Liu Yifei and others couldn't help laughing when they saw Lei Jiayin's hairstyle.

His upper body was a formal suit and tie, but his lower body was the color of the green screen.

"Don't laugh, my lower body will be made into a purely mechanical, top-level intelligent bionic robot with special effects, do you understand?"

"I understand, it means I won't be a human anymore, I'll just imitate it."

Zhou Xun teased mercilessly, "Fortunately it's not green all over!"

Lei Jiayin was a little speechless.

The shooting continued.

"Action!"

In the monitor, Liu Dehua's facial makeup turned pale, and he asked the spaceship artificial intelligence played by Reba in a trembling and hurried voice.

He got an answer that made him collapse.

"'Xihe' has been away from the earth for about 30 years. We will arrive at our new home in 90 years and three weeks..."

Hearing this answer, Liu Dehua stumbled and almost fell. His eyes were wide open. The camera zoomed in and bloodshot could be seen.

Muttering in a dead voice, "It's too early. I woke up too early..."

"Ka. Brother Hua's details are very good!"

Lin Nan was the first to applaud, followed by others.

Today's filming is over.

…………

Liu Yifei took Lin Nan to watch "The Piano in a Factory", which is said to be a highly rated art film.

The two drove around seven or eight theaters before finding a show, and it was lunchtime.

In the huge theater, there were only five people, including the two of them.

Based on this situation, Lin Nan could already guess the box office of this movie.

Wang Qianyuan and Qin Hailu are both movie stars. The Piano in a Factory is indeed a great art film.

"When I was chatting with Zhou Xun today, she recommended it to me. It's really good."

Lin Nan nodded. There was a missed call just now, and now a text message came in. It was about Painted Skin 2.

"6.6 million US dollars? Not bad, we can trade." Lin Nan sent a text message back.

…………

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the news about Lin Nan and Liu Yifei watching The Piano in a Factory in the cinema came out.

It was a photo of the two of them leaving the theater.

Liu Yifei's face can't be hidden. There's no need to guess the person next to her, it's Lin Nan.

The next morning, Qin Hailu's Weibo came out.

As one of the investors, she thanked many industry insiders who supported The Piano in a Factory, and also named Lin Nan and the other two.

After 15 days of release, it had to be taken off the screen, and the box office closed at 5.5 million. She ridiculed herself as a stupid kid in the eyes of the market.

Lin Nan even replied, "The movie is very good, but the release date may not be right."

The second half of the sentence may be overthought by many people, after all, in the July market, "Painted Skin 2" is the leader.

Lin Nan's Weibo once again attracted the attention of netizens to this movie, but it's too late...

…………

"Did you get it?"

"I don't know, they said they would consider it."

Yang Mi answered casually.

She is still immersed in "Painted Skin 2" at this moment.

With a box office of 720 million, this is the best movie she has ever participated in, and the second place in the domestic movie box office list.

She has one more thing to show off in her resume.

This result should give her a lot of points for the audition.

"Then wait for the news, and take a look at other scripts by the way." Zeng Jia nodded and said.

There are many actors in the industry who are eyeing Chen Kaige's "Search", and as for who will get it in the end, it depends on their strength and background.

In Zeng Jia's eyes, Yang Mi, who is backed by Shanhai Media and Lin Nan Pictures, should be the actress with the greatest chance, after all, she is just a supporting actress!

The phone suddenly rang, it was an unfamiliar number.

Yang Mi looked at Zeng Jia, who had already answered the call.

Ten seconds later, Zeng Jia smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, no problem..."
