Chapter 430: Summer Vacation Is Approaching, and the Premiere Is Ready

The theater chain's announcement is tantamount to saying that none of these directors can compare to Lin Nan.

Inexplicably, Lin Nan became the focus of media and industry circles again.

"Do you feel like you are being artificially engendered hatred?"

Lin Nan murmured with a smile, but didn't take it to heart.

Although it is a bit arrogant, it cannot be denied that this is a good thing.

This announcement makes "Genius Gunner" more conspicuous and special.

…………

A piece of movie information came back from the other side of the ocean.

"The horror movie "The Conjuring," co-invested by Crystal Pictures and James Wan Studios, has grossed over $100 million at the North American box office, and its growth continues unabated!"

"It is reported that "The Conjuring" is written and written by Lin Nan and directed by James Wan. The investment amount is US$12 million."

"As early as "Super Body", Director Lin Nan has admitted that he is a shareholder of Crystal Pictures..."

…

Horror movies really make money!

Lin Nan once again lamented Wen Ziren's talent in horror movies, he is simply a genius.

"Lin, you know, North America is not like your country. Here, a movie can be shown for a long time."

"Just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush."

Tom's playful and smiling tone made Lin Nan couldn't help but want to say, there is definitely a woman next to this guy.

"Lin, James predicts that this movie can reach 150 million US dollars in a short period of time. Coupled with the slow trickle of water later, and the income from copyrights, discs, etc., this will be our most profitable horror film. !”

Tom lost his previous glib tone and became a little excited.

“Horror movies, like cash cows, are truly incredible.”

Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh, "Your dividends are even bigger this year."

"Thank you to my generous boss. By the way, Lin, did you talk to Leon on the phone some time ago?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I met him today and he asked me to tell you: Please speed up the efficiency. What kind of efficiency can you speed up?"

"Script. Tell him not to rush, we are working on it."

"Well, okay. Say hello to Crystal for me, by the way."

…………

Everyone in the circle is talking about "The Conjuring".

The main reason is that everyone knows that Lin Nan was involved. Look at the box office trend, you’re making a lot of money!

But everyone in the industry is sensible, and Lin Nan will definitely not give others the chance to partner up.

Lin Nan saw the news about Huang Bo's new film conference.

This guy's career has been in a mess since he won the Golden Horse Award.

Not long ago, he just finished filming "101 Proposals" with Lin Chiling, in which he plays a diaosi.

Only a few days later, I joined the group again, called "The Cook, the Actor, the Ruffian".

Three movie stars in one drama, I have to say, it is indeed quite a selling point.

…

Liu Yifei really likes animated movies. Before she could mention it, Lin Nan had already prepared the movie tickets.

"I thought you had forgotten what you said before?"

"How could you forget? I told you, I won't let you take the initiative to speak in the future."

Ms. Liu took the ticket for "Madagascar 3" with joy on her face and was about to change clothes.

"Wear something plain, the less conspicuous the better!"

"That's a bit difficult. This girl is naturally beautiful..."

Liu Yifei's voice came from the second floor, running quite fast.

…………

The promotion of several movies such as "The Big Four", "Search", and "Wu-Tang" has entered a feverish stage.

Because it is less than a month away from the release date, and the summer season is coming soon.

Chen Kaige's "Search" and Lin Nan's "The Genius" are released 20 days apart, so there will be basically no conflict at the box office. When interviewed, the former also acted as if nothing had happened.

But when facing several other competitors, Director Chen seemed much more domineering.

"At the same time, I still have some confidence. "Search" is a movie with connotation and depth. It cannot be compared with just one or two martial arts movies..."

"Wudang" can tolerate this, but Wang Changtian doesn't like to hear it. "Four Famous Catchers" is the son of Guangguang:

"Whether you can compare or not, you will know after comparing. The audience has the final say, and the box office has the final say.

As far as I know, Director Chen's commercial films are not very outstanding at the box office! It's not good to say anything too early. "

…

This is interesting. Chen Kaige's circle has nothing to do with light.

The two big guys in the industry were talking to each other from a distance, and none of the actors and artists dared to join in the fun, for fear of causing harm to Chi Yu and dying miserably.

Perhaps for so many years, no one had dared to offend Chen Kaige. Director Chen was still a little slow to react when he was suddenly scolded by Wang Changtian.

Or how could Chen Hong be the master of Chen Kaige? It was she who stood up to smooth things over at the critical moment.

"Director Chen is so satisfied with his movie this time, and this emotion is naturally revealed in his words.

In fact, no matter what movie it is, as long as it is a good movie, the box office will not be bad and it will be very good, just like "Search" and "Famous Man"..."

Everyone in the industry said that Chen Hong was awesome. While praising the quality of his own movie, he also resolved the embarrassing situation with softness and strength. He is indeed the real talker of Chen Kaige's company.

Lin Nan held a bucket of popcorn and watched "Madagascar 3" with Ms. Liu. This relaxing feeling was really good.

"If I have a chance in the future, I will also dub for animated films. It feels quite fun. What do you think?"

Liu Yifei turned her head and looked at Lin Nan beside her, and asked excitedly.

"Of course, I'll wait."

Lin Nan looked around. Although it was an animated film, most of the audiences were adults.

"Let's go. Be careful that you will be recognized again when the show ends."

"How can it be so coincidental that you are recognized every time?"

Although she was a little stubborn, Liu Yifei did not hesitate at all. She had already crouched down and walked towards the exit, and gestured to Lin Nan: Follow me!

…………

Not long after returning, Wang Changtian called.

"On the 25th, remember to come on time with Yifei."

"Hey, what do you mean by on time? Please make your words clear." Lin Nan was indeed confused.

"The premiere of "The Four" is scheduled for the 25th of this month. Is that clear now? The leading actress is an artist from your company. You asked for the role in the first place. Don't let her down on that day."

"Okay, no problem. I'll arrange the time."

Lin Nan didn't really react to the premiere of "The Four" just now. Time passed by so quickly.

He also had to ask the people in the company to plan and prepare for the premiere ceremony of "Bad Genius".

…………

The summer season is really coming, and domestic films are starting to get excited.

In just two days, Lin Nan Pictures received several premiere invitations, including Chen Kaige's "Search".

"It should be because they thought Yang Mi was the heroine of "The Great Wudang", so they tried to send it to the company."

Jiang Xingrou looked at the invitation letter of "The Great Wudang" and explained to Lin Nan.

"I'm really impressed by these people. They're sending invitations now for the premiere in early July? You can go then."

Lin Nan suddenly thought of something, "It won't affect "A Man's Martial Arts", after all, Zhao Wenzhuo is also the male lead of this movie, how did you do the promotion?"

"He didn't follow the whole process, and Director Lu Yang specially adjusted his role and staggered the time, so it won't affect it."

"That's good."

Speaking of these crews, Lin Nan thought of the Shanghai Film Festival that just opened, where domestic films went there for promotion and crowded the red carpet.

"Bad Genius" was different, Lin Nan only sent a few employees there, and they just needed a booth.

The crew of "Da Wudang" and the crew of "Sad Fairy Tale" were compared, just because one of the female leads was Yang Mi and the other was Liu Shishi.

In the film, Yang Mi is more experienced after all, walks more on the red carpet, and steadily suppresses Liu Shishi, but it is inevitable that there will be a verbal battle between fans.

Although Lin Nan didn't go, there was still a lot of talk about Lin Nan there.

Especially under the new Sino-US film policy, co-productions are an unavoidable hot topic.

Huayi, LeTV, Bona and other companies are quite good at pretending, and they talked freely at the co-production forum.

Domestic media are okay, but the questions asked by foreign media are always about "Pacific Rim", because it is currently recognized as the most standard and successful Sino-US co-production.

This made Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong, Zhang Zhao of LeTV and others very embarrassed because Lin Nan did not come.

They did not dare to say that some co-productions such as "Cloud Atlas" and "The Expendables 2" that they participated in would definitely be better than "Pacific Rim".

Because everyone basically has no confidence, once they are shameless and reported, they are very likely to be slapped in the face later.

The final result is that after a whole forum on co-productions, the most talked about is not "The Expendables 2" and other movies in which several companies participated, but "Pacific Rim" and the project initiator Lin Nan and the two investors, China Film and Wanda.

But the funniest thing is that none of the three domestic investors of this film came to the forum, but they got a bargain and gained reputation for nothing.

In this way, Lin Nan inexplicably became the focus of discussion at the forum and made the headlines of film information.

…………

"Director Lin, "A Man's Martial Arts" will be completed by the end of this month."

Yue Jun called back. The two-month shooting cycle was very reasonable.

"The shooting progress has passed more than half, and the producer's work should be at least 80% completed. You can come back after arranging the rest."

Lin Nan ordered. The further you go in the future, the easier it is to be a producer, because the money and resources are almost used and planned.

"Well, I'm getting ready to go back."

"Take advantage of the graduation season, you have to go back to Beijing Film Academy to recruit more people, the company has too few professional producers."

Yue Jun responded and talked about other things.

"Director Lin, the agent of Zhen Zidan has asked me out several times recently, but I didn't meet him."

"That's right, he won't be used in the next Ip Man series."

"I know."

…………

Two days later, Yue Jun left Hong Kong and returned to the capital.

"I asked him out six times, but his assistant refused. I heard that he left Hong Kong today and went back to the mainland."

The agent said to Zhen Zidan with a sad face.

The crew of "One Man's Martial Arts" is very powerful and is now the most eye-catching crew in Hong Kong.

Especially when the news came out from the mainland that the copyright of a movie by Lin Nan Films sold for more than 80 million US dollars, this news made many Hong Kong media become timid.

"If he doesn't meet us, then the Ip Man series will have no chance at all?"

At this moment, Zhen Zidan suddenly had a bad guess in his mind, and he thought of Zhao Wenzhuo.

"It should... No, I am the original crew..."

"Wait a little longer, wait for the news, and try again."

Zhen Zidan was a little anxious, and he could only comfort himself in this way.

It has been a while since the filming of "Special Identity" was completed, and he has not received any new acting offers.

Many brands have even lowered their offers to him one after another, which clearly means that he is depreciating and his status is falling.

He finally established himself as a first-line actor through the two "Ip Man" films, and even gained a super first-line reputation under the promotion of the Hong Kong circle, becoming an action superstar. He doesn't want to lose these, and he is unwilling to lose them.

Zhen Zidan looked at his assistant:

"I won't give up. Once there is news about "Ip Man", tell me immediately.

Even if I admit my mistakes, it's a small matter. No one is more suitable than me..."

"Okay."

Donnie Yen glanced in a direction outside the window, which was the direction of the hotel where the crew of "One Man's Martial Arts" stayed.
