Chapter 398: Extension Key, Kung Fu Superstar

On the morning of the 31st, Lin Nan and his group walked out of the Capital Airport.

The reporters who were waiting for the opportunity rushed up and surrounded the group.

"Director Lin, when is this "Bad Genius" expected to meet the audience?"

"How is the progress of "Passengers"?"

"Yifei, what do you think about the smear campaign between Liu Shishi and Yang Mi?"

"Director Zhang Yimou has been unlucky and has been plagued by scandals recently. Has Director Lin paid attention to it?"

...

These media chattered about the hot topics of this period and threw them to Lin Nan and his group.

"If nothing unexpected happens, "Bad Genius" will be released during the Lunar New Year holiday at the end of the year; "Passengers" is currently producing special effects, so it should be soon.

As for the smear campaign between the actresses, you don't need to ask Yifei, just compare their film and television works and their worth; as for Director Zhang's affairs, I didn't pay much attention to it..."

Lin Nan didn't let Liu Yifei answer. No matter what she said, these reporters might distort it into gossip.

They might even report who Liu Yifei is targeting or who she is belittling. Anyway, it is likely that they will write whatever is eye-catching, after all, Miss Liu was also famous for a while.

The media wanted to ask about "Pacific Rim", but Lin Nan pulled Liu Yifei and squeezed out with the help of several assistants.

Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, and Shu Chang followed closely, and everyone got on the car to pick them up. Reba had previously returned to school directly from Hong Kong Island.

"Aren't you going back with us?"

Liu Yifei asked hurriedly when she saw that Lin Nan did not get in the same car with her.

"Xixi, you and Changchang go back first, I have to go to China Film. Mr. Han and the others are still waiting."

Hearing that it was a serious matter, Liu Yifei nodded, "Then you should come back early."

"Yes, I will."

Several cars set off from the airport and drove in different directions.

…………

"Pacific Rim" is the overlord of the domestic film market box office list in January.

Apart from the domestic market, its overseas box office has already reached over 350 million US dollars, approaching 400 million dollars, and Southeast Asian countries have contributed a lot of the box office.

As for the domestic box office of "Pacific Rim", it is the focus of all theaters and production industries.

To be precise, everyone is paying attention to the results of the split bet between Lin Nan and the theaters.

The 1.2 billion box office, after deducting the special fund for film industry development and the special business tax, its 46% is about 100 million more than the 44.5% of the 1 billion box office after deducting those two items! What's more, it is now 1.15 billion, very close to 1.2 billion.

If Lin Nan succeeds, then the production industry will take this split bet as a case, and later comers only need to copy it!

The vehicle entered China Film without obstruction. A secretary was already waiting and took Lin Nan straight to the chairman's office.

Han Sanping and Ye Ning sat opposite each other and were drinking tea.

"You came quite slowly, the news is out." Han Sanping joked.

Lin Nan was a little confused, this is still slow? He went straight to China Film.

"Your interview briefs at the airport are all here."

Ye Ning pointed to the computer on the table:

"Director Lin's new film is aimed at the Lunar New Year period!"

"Director Lin Nan hinted that Liu Shishi was not as good as Yang Mi, especially in terms of film works..."

Lin Nan's face was dark, knowing that these people would add some material, but it didn't matter.

"I didn't hint at that, I'll point it out later!"

Lin Nan said embarrassedly.

"Let's talk about the extension key. What's going on now?" This is what Lin Nan cares about most.

Han Sanping and Ye Ning smiled at each other, and the former said: "Not long after I called you this morning, the notice from the bureau came down. I wanted to contact you again, but you were already on the plane."

"We got a one-month extension, and Pacific Rim will be released at the end of February!" Ye Ning added excitedly.

Hearing this, Lin Nan was relieved. This wave, stable!

"The new secret key can be produced within one day, and it's already being processed."

"Then send a notice out to boost morale. These media have been "pitying" me these past two days!"

Lin Nan smiled and joked.

…………

After talking about business matters, it was Han Sanping's personal matters.

"I want Jia Nu to join your crew."

"Ah? She's just in her first year of graduate school, and my company doesn't lack screenwriters at the moment."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Han Sanping's face instantly lost its good look, "She's a graduate student in the directing department!"

"But, I think she likes screenwriting more! Last time, I met Lao Jiang criticizing her, saying that she never took classes in the directing department, but liked to run around the literature department and the management college, and seemed to be quite interested in production..."

Lin Nan didn't care about Han Sanping's frozen face, and finished her words with a smile.

"No matter how much you like it, you have to have a graduation drama to graduate. Going to your place will make your resume look better."

Well, Chairman Han has said so much, Lin Nan definitely can't refuse anymore.

"But I've made two movies in a row. I'm afraid I need to take a break in the short term. Are other movies from the company okay?"

Han Sanping and Ye Ning were shocked and sat up straight.

"What projects?"

"Next, the company will make 2~3 movies, the first one will be the second one in the "Lost" series."

"Lost on Journey?" Ye Ning asked.

"Yes, I'll write the script again this time, and Xu Zheng will direct."

"What about the other one or two?" Han Sanping said.

"An action movie, the script has not yet been decided. There is also another one, which is probably a soft science fiction film."

"Then let Jia Nu go to the "囧" series and be the executive director. After all, the first one was profitable, so the sequel should not be bad."

Lin Nan nodded, "Of course, the premise is that Director Han convinces her that if she comes in and causes trouble, then I will handle business as usual."

Han Sanping nodded and said it was no problem.

"What about investment? Can Wanda follow?"

"The investment is not high..."

Before Lin Nan finished speaking, he saw Ye Ning shaking his head.

"Forget it, the first one didn't even have a box office of over 100 million, so Wanda won't join in the fun for the second one."

"So is China Film."

…………

After having lunch at China Film Studio, Lin Nan left.

When returning to the villa, Liu Yifei happily announced the good news.

She had just received an invitation from the acting department, asking her to return to school to be a guest for this year's art exam.

"you sure?"

As soon as Lin Nan said these words, she knew she was going to suffer.

Liu Yifei stared at him coldly, as if if you don't apologize, I will beat you to death.

"Well, what I mean is, which round are you going to go to?" Lin Nan hesitated.

"Re-examination guest."

"Okay, the retest went well. Congratulations, Teacher Liu Yifei..."

"Hahaha, you're embarrassed to call me teacher." Miss Liu was quite happy to hear this.

"So, Teacher Liu Yifei, let's play a game?"

Lin Nan said jokingly, smiling a little inappropriately.

Miss Liu was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly her cheeks turned red and she entered her villa without looking back.

"Bah, gangster..."

…

…

China Film, Wanda Pictures, and Lin Nan Pictures announced the film bureau’s documents almost at the same time.

"After applying, "Pacific Rim" has received the secret key to postpone the film for a period of one month."

The documents stamped with red seals were also posted on Weibo.

The news spread and immediately attracted the attention of various media, theater companies and the production industry!

"He's still here! This is too overbearing, leaving no way for others to survive..."

"The stronger get stronger. This is indeed in line with the application rules for the extension of the secret key, but no one expected that "Pacific Rim" would succeed! After all, "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" both failed."

"Director Lin Nan's 1.2 billion box office and 46% split betting agreement are now stable and profitable!"

"Objection! This is completely partial, just because it is a co-production with Hollywood?"

…

"Very good. It shouldn't be difficult to buy tickets for the IMAX 3D giant screen theater next month."

"Support the extension..."

…

Once the news was made public, theaters silently accepted it because everyone knew that this was a win-win situation.

Although several producers, including Lin Nan Pictures, can get a 46% share of the revenue, theaters earn more...

The biggest and biggest opposition comes from the production industry.

People's hearts are complicated. Previously, "Pacific Rim" needed to take the lead and compete with the theaters. , everyone must express solidarity and support.

But "Pacific Rim" really got the key to postponement, and everyone couldn't accept it because it would affect their movie...

Audiences and movie fans are almost all satisfied, because those who have not bought 3D tickets before will not have to fight for them, and maybe the ticket prices will be reduced.

…………

The postponement of "Pacific Rim" is a foregone conclusion and no one can change it.

At this time, an eye-catching movie announced the launch conference time and invited guests from the entertainment industry.

"The action blockbuster "Special Identity", wholly-owned by Starlight, joined by two Chinese action superstars, and starring Jing Tian as the heroine, is scheduled to hold a launch conference in Beijing on February 7th!"

When mentioning Donnie Yen, the first thing that people think of is "Ip Man". Two "Ip Man" films made him successful!

Speaking of Zhao Wenzhuo, the most memorable thing is his performance in Hong Kong movies and his dozens of meters long blood-drinking sword!

At this stage, after Jackie Chan and Jet Li, these two people can barely bear the title of action superstars.

Speaking of Jing Tian, ​​her most dazzling resume is "The Martian" and the currently released "Pacific Rim", especially the latter.

Lin Nan received a call from Jing Tian, ​​"Brother Lin, can you be invited to attend the launch conference of "Special Identity"? Together with Sister Yifei."

Lin Nan just thought of Zhao Wenzhuo!

"Can."

"Thank you, Brother Lin. Then, I won't disturb you."

"Well, play well."

…

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan called his assistant in, "Where is Director Yue?"

"Director Lin, Director Yue went to visit the crew of "Jing Zhong Yue Fei". The visiting class there was only opened yesterday."

"Oh, visits are open! That means it's almost finished. Okay, you go contact Xu Zheng and ask him to come to the company."

"Okay Director Lin, I'll go right away."

Lin Nan decided to settle the matter of "囧囧" first, and then meet Zhao Wenzhuo.
