Chapter 425 The Regret of "Thief", Start to Promote

"Director Lin, congratulations."

Domestic news has been transmitted back to Cannes.

When many people saw Lin Nan, they started joking and congratulating each other, talking about the successful copyright sale of "Passengers".

"Thank you, is it still Chinese style this time?"

Lin Nan was indeed in a good mood and chatted with Fan Bingbing for a few more words.

"Yes, this time it is an embroidered dress in the style of enamel. The patterns include: the drunken concubine, Diao Chan worshiping the moon, Xi Shi's veil and Zhaojun leaving the fortress. The hairstyle is the Tang Dynasty lady's bun..."

To be honest, Lin Nan admires Fan Bingbing. She has indeed done a lot to promote Chinese culture, and she always attracts the attention and heated discussion of foreign media.

Originally, Lin Nan just asked casually, but who would have thought that Fan Bingbing had said so much and actually told him about the dress and attire he was going to wear on the red carpet of the closing ceremony.

"Then I hope you will be the center of attention on the red carpet."

"I would like to lend you your kind words..."

Actors and stars will not leave Cannes until the awards ceremony is over. Especially for these female stars, the red carpet is their battlefield for each other.

Not so for Lin Nan. He had already booked a flight back to China.

Many directors and crews also did not choose to stay too long after completing the copyright transaction.

The night before the awards ceremony, Lin Nan got on the plane back to China.

It is estimated that by the time he lands at the Capital Airport, the red carpet for the closing ceremony of Cannes will be about to begin.

Jiang Yuerou will be back two days late, and she still has some details to deal with in the copyright transaction.

Lin Nan didn't expect to go with Jiang Wen.

There were no outsiders in the first-class cabin. Jiang Wen was in high spirits as he pulled Lin Nan to talk about the new script he had just written not long ago.

Lin Nan raised his left hand and glanced at the watch that Miss Liu personally selected for him when he arrived in Cannes.

"I said Director Jiang, why don't you take a break? I want to get over the jet lag."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wen and Ma Ke were stunned. The former looked unhappy:

"Fuck, brother, isn't my script wonderful? Can it make you sleepy after listening to it?"

Lin Nan yawned, "It's mainly because there are still a lot of things to do after I go back..."

"I'll go back to sleep later. I have to fly for ten hours. I have plenty of time."

Jiang Wen pulled Lin Nan and continued to talk about his "One Step Away", and asked the reviewers to comment from time to time.

To be honest, Lin Nan made an excuse just because he didn't want to hear it. In his opinion, "Let the Bullets Fly" was so successful that Director Jiang started to let himself go again.

Lin Nan's kind suggestions were all rounded off by Jiang Wen, so how could he evaluate them? Full hypnosis!

After more than half an hour, Jiang Wen finished speaking emotionally.

"How's it going? This time, I'm going to compete with big Hollywood productions and go straight to 3D and IMAX..."

"Haha, Director Lin has been asleep for a while." Ma Ke couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Wen then turned his head and glanced at Lin Nan next door.

"Hey! This guy is so unlucky."

"Lao Ma, you can submit the script for review when you get back. Then it's up to you to establish the project, budget and prepare. I have to understand 3D shooting first..."

"no problem."

…………

When I woke up, it was almost time to land...

Pulling the suitcase, before leaving the airport, you can see the dazzling sunshine outside.

At this time, sharp-eyed reporters had already raised their cameras through the fence.

Lin Nan, Jiang Wen and others walked quickly outside.

The billboards on both sides attracted Lin Nan's attention. They were promotional posters for "Four Famous Catchers".

"Are you moving very quickly?"

Thinking about it carefully, there is only one month left before it is released, so it’s time to start promoting it.

Lin Nan deliberately lagged a few steps behind, and saw Jiang Wen and Ma Ke being surrounded by a large wave of reporters as soon as they left the airport.

"Director Jiang, when will you start casting for "One Step Away"? Will there be open auditions?"

"It's still early, so I haven't thought about going there. By the way, Lin Nan is behind, you guys go find him."

Lin Nan, who was about to leave the airport and quickly ran away, was immediately stared at by a lot of people. He just missed the move and Jiang Wen was ruthless!

"Director Lin, how much is the copyright income from "The Genius"? Compared with "Passengers", is it more or less..."

"Director Wang Xiaoshuai was dissatisfied with the low film scheduling rate of his film "Me 11" and angrily accused the theater chain of giving all the film arrangements to "Hollywood godfathers". What do the two directors think of this?"

…

"The copyright sales are pretty good and will be announced later. I haven't heard about the rest yet, so I can't comment. Please give it a try..."

Lin Nan had already seen Liu Yifei's new car from a distance. After getting rid of the blockade, he walked quickly.

Youth is an advantage. Looking at Jiang Wen, he probably won't be able to get rid of the group of media reporters for a while.

"Go quickly, go quickly."

After putting the box away and getting into the passenger seat, Lin Nan said to Miss Liu who was wearing big sunglasses.

"Okay, fasten your seat belt and go home."

…

On the way, Lin Nan listened to Liu Yifei talk about the film market for more than a week.

He finally understood why the reporter had just asked so many extreme questions.

The box office of "Avengers" has exceeded 500 million, and it has not yet been released. "Men in Black 3" has followed suit, with a box office of 50 to 60 million every day.

"The box office of "The Great Heist" was 186 million, and the total box office of "The Man" was 27.4 million, both of which have been released."

"'Killing' was canceled early by theaters, and the total box office was only a little over 10 million."

"By the way, Brother Xiao Ming also wrote an open letter. Reflecting on the reality of the box office failure of "Piff", he said: Although it failed at the box office, he will not regret it, will not give up investing in movies, and will continue..."

…

Lin Nan nodded, this is indeed Huang Xiaoming's character.

In short, except for "The Robbery", all other domestic films end up with cannon fodder endings.

Wang Xiaoshuai's "Me 11" was invested and produced by himself and has already been rescheduled once.

This time it was only released for a week, but it was abandoned by the theaters, with a box office of more than 3 million, a huge loss! That's why he yelled publicly.

Liu Yifei held the steering wheel with both hands, like an experienced driver. While waiting at the red light, she looked at Lin Nan expectantly.

"Tell me, how much did our "Genius Gunner" sell for? Many people came to ask me, but you didn't tell me on the phone before."

"83.65 million, US dollars."

Lin Nan held Miss Liu's face, kissed her red lips, and separated after ten seconds, which was quite sweet.

"Yeah! So many?!"

Liu Yifei had an incredible expression on her face, which was more than double the number in "The Fault in Our Stars".

"After this movie is released, your net worth and salary will definitely increase again, whether at home or abroad."

Lin Nan vowed that he was very confident about the box office performance of "Genius Gunman".

On the other hand, it is also because those European and American film producers are unanimously optimistic about "The Genius".

"Well, then I'll wait."

Liu Yifei nodded gently and exhaled like a blue breath. Then came a kick of the accelerator, which shocked Lin Nan.

…………

"Director Lin Nan and Director Jiang Wen traveled together and arrived at the Capital Airport at noon."

"The amount of the copyright transaction for "Genius Gunslinger" is unknown. Director Lin revealed: It's not bad."

"There are no casting plans for "One Step Away" in the short term..."

"Ms. Chen Hong announced that "Search" sold $13.8 million in Cannes and has doubled the profit!"

"The promotion of domestic films in the summer has begun."

…………

After Lin Nan had phone calls with China Film and Television Corporation, the copyright issue for "Passengers" came to an end.

"How's the commercial accompanying the movie "The Gunslinger" going?"

"Director Lin, the contract for three advertisements has been signed, totaling 86 million, and the short film has also been obtained."

"Okay. Go and notify that the promotion can begin. Also contact Zhu Yawen and a few others to set aside time to prepare for the promotion."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

It has been a long time since Lin Nan started promoting a movie two months in advance. For recent movies, he has started promoting it one month in advance because his influence is enough.

But with this "Genius Gunslinger", Lin Nan hopes that it can make up for the regrets of the original "Thieves".

Therefore, it is necessary to start publicity in advance, and he will personally lead the team.

"The threshold of 1 billion?"

"1000000000!"

…………

The Cannes Awards are over.

Not surprisingly, apart from the powerful Gong Li, Fan Bingbing was still the most talked about on the red carpet, firmly dominating Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing and others.

But the actress's previous struggles were not just on the surface.

As soon as the red carpet of the closing ceremony ended, a large number of netizens and some media in China criticized Fan Bingbing: walking on the red carpet in Cannes with the hairstyle of an island geisha is simply an embarrassment to the Chinese people.

Some actors are also praising and criticizing the comments. This move has a clear meaning of criticizing Fan Bingbing.

how to say? Being uneducated is indeed quite funny and easy to make jokes.

When it comes to hype and controlling public opinion, Fan Bingbing's publicity director Yang Tianzhen is indeed very good at it.

She directly called several official history museums, "Experts please explain to everyone the hairstyle and headgear of the Ice Soldier."

As expected, everyone was slapped in the face. This is a serious hairstyle from the Tang Dynasty, something that belongs to China, not the island country!

Fan Bingbing’s Weibo is very domineering, and it’s so cool to see the big girls bickering:

"We are all colleagues, so let's be clear about anything. I won't laugh at you for being ugly or mediocre on the red carpet, but don't be so ignorant. Even the people in your own team are ignorant. After all, I have played that kind of role. Movie……"

When this Weibo came out, people who didn’t understand it also understood it.

Isn't the movie that everyone thinks of immediately "Memoirs of a Geisha"?

Coupled with the words "flat" and "ugly", good guy, Fan Bingbing's connotation was instantly identified.

…………

The first batch of posters for "The Gunslinger" quickly spread online and filled major theaters.

On the poster, the background is a classroom.

Liu Yifei is wearing a school uniform, with her chin raised slightly, her face is delicate and delicate, her eyes are looking forward, she is cold and wise.

The other three people were half a body behind, each with their own expressions.

Zhu Yawen frowned and looked serious; Luo Jin dressed luxuriously and smiled;

Shu Chang smiled like a fool, grabbing one of Liu Yifei's sleeves, like a follower...

At the bottom is a line of small print: Directed by Lin Nan, produced by Liu Yifei...
