Chapter 379 Project Establishment, Youth Film

The box office performance of "Hongmen Banquet" on the second day surprised many people.

The box office on the first day was still 20.4 million. How come it dropped nearly 3 million on the second day? The reported revenue was 17.5 million.

A large number of negative reviews and ridicules flooded the comment area of ​​"Hongmen Banquet".

To be honest, Lin Nan found these comments funny.

“When they assassinated Qin Shihuang, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had not yet revolted.

At this point, Xiang Yu Ma Zai’s line was actually: ‘King Xiang, do you want to do something’? Who made you king? Have you traveled through time? "

"It's like playing Go again, guessing your fingers, biting off your tail finger. Is it appropriate to copy "Dragon Babu" like this?"

"It's really hard to watch historical-themed movies directed by Hong Kong directors. There are all kinds of bugs that make me, a novice in history, want to ask a hundred thousand whys!"

"This is not only a gangster movie, but also a time-travel drama! Various time-travels across time, space and themes, the lines and plot of the film are filled with a sense of nonsensical joy from beginning to end..."

"Feng Shaofeng and Yang Mi are quite a good couple..."

"As long as you don't watch "The Banquet at Hongmen" as a historical blockbuster, you can still watch it!"

…………

The audience's mouth is always so direct and cruel!

Li Rengang was sprayed all over his body.

Many netizens even left messages of ridicule, asking him not to harm historical themes in the future.

"Look, I advised you not to take this drama at that time, otherwise this would be the result now."

Liu Yifei held the script in her hand and smiled sweetly at Lin Nan:

"Well, Director Lin is great. Thank you very much, little lady."

"But, looking at it like this, they have to pay a lot for this movie, right?"

Facing Liu Yifei's question, Lin Nan nodded.

"What do you think? The investment in "Hongmen Banquet" has been increased to 200 million, and the pressure to repay the capital is not small.

And looking at the box office trends over the past two days, it’s hard to say whether the final total box office will reach 200 million.

As for this, it still depends on whether "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" will agree. "

Lin Nan has automatically ignored Hua Yi and Tianyu's "Happy Magic".

The investment cost was 70 million, but the box office on the first day was only 1.1 million. What the hell is this?

The saddest thing is that there are very few criticisms of this movie on the Internet, and I am too lazy to criticize it!

Lin Nan heard from Yue Jun that Wang Zhonglei shouted at the premiere that the box office was guaranteed to be 150 million.

According to this first-day data, 15 million is on the line!

"Have the supporting roles in our movie been selected? You didn't tell me."

Liu Yifei sat on the sofa, flipped through the script again, and suddenly asked Lin Nan.

"The filming location this time is on Hong Kong Island. No matter what, we must give some face to that place. I have already contacted the actors."

"Who will play the 'father' in my movie?" Liu Yifei's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Haha, I originally wanted to find Brother Hua, but after thinking about it I decided against it. He just announced the news that his wife was pregnant two days ago.

It is estimated that after "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is completed, he will stay at home for a while. So, I found someone better, guess what? "

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei and chuckled.

Miss Liu raised her head proudly, and her ponytail swayed.

She said firmly: "Teacher Liang Jiahui!"

"Hey, it's pretty awesome, Sissy."

"Hey, hey, with your little tricks, you can't hide it from me, and you can't deceive me!"

Liu Yifei's words left Lin Nan speechless more than once. This is not a good sign...

What about Hanhan? Why doesn't it work every time I'm with him? What to do next? Lin Nan has a headache!

…………

Anyone can use the skill of pulling and stepping.

As the reputation of "Hongmen Banquet" became worse and worse, Lu Chuan jumped out.

"Historical blockbusters must be made slowly and carefully. The story of Chu-Han's struggle for hegemony cannot be separated from the turning point of "Hongmen Banquet".

"The King's Feast" lasted 13 months from preparation to shooting, and will take another year to polish the post-production.

I hope next year’s Lunar New Year show can bring a real “feast” to the audience! "

Lu Chuan's Weibo post, in the eyes of insiders, is a naked attempt to add insult to injury and promote himself. In addition, there is more revenge with a grudge.

After all, the director of "Hongmen Banquet" at that time was Lu Chuan, but he was kicked out by the management and lost his job...

Not to mention, Lu Tailang's publicity was quite effective, attracting a lot of discussion and attention, but it caused strong dissatisfaction on the "Hongmen Banquet" side.

"Character can be seen in words and deeds. Throughout Director Lu's journey, which movie has character? "Kekexili" or "Nanjing"? Or is it the girlfriend's investment? It's too early to say anything, but be careful and slap you in the face. Something happened..."

how to say?

Although "Hongmen Banquet" has many bad reviews, Lin Nan couldn't help but like this Weibo post.

"Good guy, do you have a lot of acquaintances? Haha..."

…………

"Wudang" has entered the final stage.

Yang Mi's mood was really bad.

When she originally took on this drama, she was focused on the investment scale, cast, and production team.

But who would have thought that such a historical blockbuster would not see any improvement in the box office, and its reputation would get worse and worse.

She thought about the advice the company had given her before, and she didn't know if she should regret it at the moment.

"Don't think so much. The movie lost money and the plot was criticized, but the audience only criticized the director, script and costume props, but no one blamed the actors..."

Zeng Jia's words made Yang Mi feel dazed for a while. It seems that she, the female lead, has indeed enjoyed the benefits of "Hongmen Banquet", and the audience has not come to trouble her or scold her!

"Well, my fans have increased and my net worth has increased. I don't regret taking this drama."

Yang Mi thought for a moment, nodded, and said seriously.

"You can prepare for "Love in Seattle" in advance in the past few days. Director Xue Xiaolu is a professor from Nortel. Her film should have very strict requirements and the quality is absolutely guaranteed."

Zeng Jia whispered a reminder, after all, "Wu-Tang" has not really been completed yet.

"You're right. I have to be more serious this time. Maybe "Love in Seattle" will be my masterpiece in the movie..."

Yang Mi thought of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" and became even more determined.

…………

"Movie: "The Gunslinger."

Produced by: Lin Nan Pictures, Hongxingwu.

Producer: Liu Yifei;

Director/Screenwriter: Lin Nan;

Main actors: Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen, Shu Chang, Luo Jin..."

When the film bureau's registration information was released, Lin Nan Pictures immediately disclosed the production information and main creative lineup of "Genius Gunslinger" to the outside world.

Every major director in the industry will always attract the attention of the entire film and television and entertainment circles when he projects a new film.

"Liu Yifei?"

"I knew it was her again. If the heroine of "Love in Seattle" could be given to Yang Mi, then Liu Yifei must have a better choice, as expected!"

"Director Lin has deviated from the glorious tradition of Nortel directors. Not to mention Shu Chang's background in the three major art schools, the other main actors are all from Nortel... This is inappropriate."

"This lineup is special! Liu Yifei and Shu Chang are best friends, classmates with the other two, and classmates and lovers with Director Lin. The five of them all have a good relationship...

This casting was chosen based on the distance of the relationship, right? ! "

…………

Many people came to tease Lin Nan, wondering if the leaders of the film school had given him a message.

"Look at the school's official website, there is a newsletter about "Genius Gunner", hehehe..."

Lin Nan was meeting Huo Wenxi when Liu Yifei called.

"Really? Then I'll go take a look and call you later."

"have a guest?"

"You are so smart, you guessed it right."

"Well, I won't disturb you from your business now."

After watching Lin Nan hang up the phone, Huo Wenxi smiled and spoke.

"Is it Yifei?"

"Well, it's her. Why did Director Huo come here in person? Just make a phone call."

Lin Nan said politely.

"China Film Yinghuang Artists Company has something to deal with, so I stopped by to visit Director Lin..."

Lin Nan nodded. This company was jointly established by Yinghuang and China Film and was responsible for the management of Yinghuang artists in the mainland.

However, the two companies are not on the same path, and they are quite far apart.

"What Director Lin told Director Yang last time has been settled. Director Yang asked me to ask when the crew is going to arrive, so Yinghuang can prepare it."

"In late December, Director Jiang Yuerou will bring the shooting team there first." Lin Nan gave the specific time.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome. Yinghuang has a ready-made shooting team that Director Lin can use at will."

Huo Wenxi said half-jokingly, which seemed true and false.

Lin Nan didn't answer, just smiled and shook his head.

Every great director will train his own dedicated camera crew so that they can work hand in hand.

Lin Nan is no exception. Shooting like this is very efficient.

Often with just a look, everyone knows what he wants to do and what he needs.

Lin Nan understood what Huo Wenxi meant. What is free is the most expensive, and favors are the most expensive!

…………

""Genius Gunman" invested 30 million and will be filmed on Hong Kong Island..."

A piece of news quickly spread throughout the mainland and Hong Kong film and television circles.

"Thirty million? Don't worry about it. Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are paid zero, and the producer is their company!"

What everyone is most concerned about is the fact that the filming location was chosen on Hong Kong Island.

"Why did you choose Hong Kong Island? There is no place in the mainland?"

"Rumors say, this is one of the prerequisites for Director Lin's script to pass review."

"Some scripts can only be filmed. The top management is too rigid..."

…

The topic of "Genius Gunslinger" is constant here and it is very popular.

On the other side, a film project has also been announced, and crew preparation and casting have begun.

"Zhao Yanzi, a 06-level graduate student in the Directing Department of Nortel, has officially launched the graduation drama "To Our Fading Youth."

"It is reported that Zhao Yanzi and Lin Nan are both graduate students of the 2006 Directing Department. The former postponed his graduation for three years due to personal reasons..."

"Zhao Yanzi, who is also a Nortel graduate student, chose a youth film to complete her studies this time. Compared with the Golden Lion Award-winning film "Hunting" directed by Lin Nan, it is obviously not on the same level..."

"However, "Youth" will have the opportunity to compare head-on with director Lin's "The Genius"."

…………

Lin Nan felt unlucky when he saw the news.

"Every one of them has to involve me? Is it necessary?"

Lin Nan noticed the investors of Zhao Yanzi's drama. Enlight and China Film were the largest producers, followed by China Television and Dianhe Media.

"I'm quite willing to give it up! Is it worth tens of millions to just give it to a new director?"

"Youth films! It's nothing more than: skipping classes, fighting, dating, jealousy, breaking up, going abroad, having sex, abortion, car accidents, terminal illness..."

Lin Nan couldn't help laughing when he thought of the elements of these youth films. These are the routines, nothing else.
