Chapter 433 July, Filming Completed, Summer Season Begins
To survive in the entertainment industry, you still need connections.
For example, Yang Ying is envied by countless actresses.
In just over two years, she has risen from a small model to the "No. 1 actress of Huayi".
In the last few days of June, Huayi held a press conference and set up a studio for Yang Ying with great fanfare, making her a "partner" of the company.
Although the woman has no outstanding works, her status has risen sharply, which makes many people in the circle unacceptable and jealous.
However, most people understand that Huayi can give her such treatment because of Huang Xiaoming.
It was the brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei who were trying to win over this former artist, now the top male actor and new capital in the mainland.
Even Lin Nan Pictures received greetings from Yang Ying Studio, hoping to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.
"Just reply politely, just give face to the leader."
Looking at the thing in Yue Jun's hand, which looked like a congratulatory letter, Lin Nan couldn't help but tease.
Lin Nan is not interested in training such an actor who can confuse Liu Dehua. Just thinking about it makes him tired.
In addition, the same is true for other film and television works of the company. It is impossible to use actors indiscriminately just because of personal relationships.
"I understand. To be honest, she is really..."
There was a hint of teasing and ridicule in Yue Jun's tone.
Many studios sent congratulatory letters to Lin Nan Film when they were first established, all looking forward to cooperation.
But the bosses of those studios are Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, or actors and artists of the same level in the circle.
Now Yang Ying suddenly appeared, which is particularly contrasting!
"How can she be so embarrassed? Hahaha..."
Yue Jun really couldn't help but laughed.
"She is not stupid, she is smart. Huang Xiaoming's connections are her connections, so isn't this used?"
Lin Nan shook his head and teased.
…………
After two months of filming, "One Man's Martial Arts" finally announced the completion of filming.
Hong Kong media and mainland media reported it at the same time.
"The action blockbuster "One Man's Martial Arts", jointly produced by Lin Nan Films and Ying Huang Films and directed by Lu Yang, officially wrapped up in Hong Kong today..."
"Director Lu Yang, along with the leading actors Wang Baoqiang, Zhao Wenzhuo, Bai Bing and others, attended the high-profile wrap-up banquet held by Ying Huang for the crew!"
...
The eyes of the industry and netizens are all focused on the movie "One Man's Martial Arts".
Yang Shoucheng personally attended the wrap-up banquet to promote the movie.
"Since the two "Ip Man" movies, this is the third time that Ying Huang and Lin Nan Films have co-produced a film. There will be a fourth and fifth time, and it will continue..."
Boss Yang talked excitedly, even talking about the cooperation between Ying Huang and a number of mainland companies, which other companies in the Hong Kong circle couldn't stand.
In their eyes, Ying Huang is an outlier in the Hong Kong circle, a rare "traitor" who eats alone in the mainland.
However, this idea is basically due to envy, jealousy and unwillingness. After all, other companies in the mainland cannot compete with Ying Huang at all, and can only eat leftovers.
But these people never thought about why Ying Huang was accepted in the mainland, but not them; of course, maybe these people already knew the reason, but they just kept avoiding it...
...
The next day, Lu Yang took the filming team of Lin Nan Pictures and left Hong Kong for Beijing.
And Huo Wenxi, on behalf of Ying Huang, announced a piece of news to the outside world.
"After consultation between Director Yang and Director Lin Nan, Ying Huang and Lin Nan Pictures will restart the "Ip Man" movie series later!"
This news spread quickly, and there was no one in the entertainment industry and the production industry who didn't have an idea.
The first two "Ip Man" movies have laid a solid market foundation. If they are put on now, the box office will only be higher.
And no actor in the industry will forget how Zhen Zidan became a first-line action actor.
He relied on two "Ip Man" movies to enter the first-line team and his value skyrocketed!
This is a big cake, and no one doesn't covet it.
…………
"I really admire Yang Shoucheng. He is so anxious to announce it?"
In the morning, Lin Nan received several calls, from Han Sanping, Wang Changtian, Ye Ning, Ren Zhonglun, Xiying... and Wang Zhonglei.
They all asked about "Ip Man 3", asking when the project would be launched and whether they could join.
There are also many brokerage companies and actors who asked Yue Jun about roles. Because when the project was suspended before, there were rumors circulating in the circle.
"I think Yinghuang should have reacted. It's too reckless! Haha..."
Yue Jun put a few pages of resume in front of Lin Nan and teased.
"It's called a restart, but it won't be that fast. At least we have to wait until "One Man's Martial Arts" is released."
Lin Nan said while flipping through the resume, and asked casually:
"Is Lu Yang back?"
"I just got off the plane half an hour ago. I will be at the company in two days. I will go to Tiangong Color to arrange the post-production."
"Okay."
…………
Hong Kong Island
Zhen Zidan was very excited, finally hearing the news about "Ip Man 3"!
His agent came over with a look of half joy and half worry:
"Zidan, many media outlets are contacting me, asking if you have received an invitation for "Ip Man 3."
Hearing this, Zhen Zidan's emotions calmed down instantly, "How did you answer?"
"Ambiguous."
The agent knew that this was the most favorable reply to Zhen Zidan at the moment. As for how the media writes about it, that is their business.
"Yeah. Mani still hasn't seen us?"
The agent shook his head, "We can't get a date with Huo Wenxi. But it looks like it will be a while before the movie is approved. We still have a chance and we can't give up..."
"Whatever it takes, help me get this movie."
…………
Liu Yifei is busy again.
Although Lin Nan is a director in the film industry, he doesn't know much about the fashion industry.
Even Liu Xiaoli knows better than Lin Nan what time of year and which big-name magazines start shooting.
He only knew that Liu Yifei should have been invited by another top fashion magazine.
Her fashion blockbuster will appear in the magazine in the second half of the year, including the cover photo, and it will also be her.
…
"Four Famous Catchers" has been released amidst long calls.
At the same time, Ray officially announced the sequel:
""Famous Catchers 2" will be the first 3D martial arts film directed by director Chen Jiashang, and will start filming in Hengdian soon.
The cast is still the same, with Deng Chao, Zhao Liying and others starring. In addition, there will be new supporting characters: Liu Yan, Zhou Haimei, Bao Beier, etc. "
Wang Changtian made great strides, directly targeting Bona and Xu Ke's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", and began to produce 3D martial arts films.
Lin Nan said how Tiangong Color planned to send 20% more people this time than in the first film. The emotional reason is here, because of the 3D movie!
…
News about the premieres of the two movies "Wu-Tang" and "Search" have also spread.
Two movies are released on the same day, with less than a week left.
"Jiajia, who from the company will come to the premiere of "Wu-Tang"?"
"Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin will come to support us, and they all took time off from the crew to come here."
"I'm talking about Director Lin and the others."
Yang Mi glanced at Zeng Jia and corrected her. How could the latter not understand what Yang Mi meant.
"It's different. "The Four Famous Catchers" is a movie of Guangguang. Director Lin and Yifei were there in person, so it was natural.
But "Wu-Tang" and "Search" premiered on the same day. Do you think Director Lin received the invitation? Where will he go? "
Yang Mi nodded, she understood what it meant. Just thinking about Zhao Liying's treatment, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable...
"Is Director Yue here?"
"No, it's Director Jiang Yuerou."
…………
The next day, many people in the industry were concerned about yesterday's box office performance of "Four Famous Cats".
After all, this is the first blockbuster film of the summer season, which affects the morale of domestic films in the second half of the year.
The news on the portal website appeared early in the morning and was clearly on the headlines.
"The box office of "The Big Four" on its first day was 17.5 million, which is a boost for domestic films in the second half of the year."
"The movie is too much of an adaptation compared to the original work, and audiences have mixed reviews, some good and some bad..."
"It is undeniable that this is a rare good result for martial arts films in recent years, only behind the 3D movie "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"."
"Shanhai Media artist Zhao Liying makes her debut on the big screen..."
"In the near future, the three movies "Famous Four", "Wu-Tang" and "Search" will have a head-on fight."
"Shanhai Media Artist, Zhao Liying VS Yang Mi..."
…
Lin Nan also paid attention to the box office of this movie.
It was not in vain that he asked Wang Changtian for the role of the female lead. Zhao Liying had her starting point on the big screen.
Under Guang Guang's Weibo, there are already a large number of congratulatory messages from artists in the industry.
Many actors and stars even recommended "Four Famous Catchers" on Weibo to show their goodwill.
…
Liu Yifei has been filming fashion blockbusters for three days in a row. Now she is lazily leaning on the sofa with the cat in her arms.
"it's over?"
Lin Nan put Liu Yifei's legs in his arms. The white and tender feet painted with nail polish felt good to the touch.
"No, I'll take a day off and continue tomorrow. I have to take a lot of photos, change into different dresses, and finally pick and choose the best one. It's very time-consuming..."
Miss Liu has been familiar with fashion magazines for a long time. In April, September and October, she spread a lot to Lin Nan.
"That's a pity. I have to go to the premiere of director Chen Kaige alone."
Lin Nan said pretending to be regretful.
"Then when you come back, remember to tell me the story of that movie, which actually makes Director Chen boast in front of the media every day."
Liu Yifei raised one leg and dangled it in front of Lin Nan with a provocative smile on her face. The latter immediately grabbed her.
"Oh, don't scratch, it's so itchy, I was wrong..."
Liu Yifei shrank her legs, sat up cross-legged, bit her lip, and glanced at Lin Nan with watery eyes.
This expression is absolutely amazing!
"Miss Liu, may I invite you to sit in the room?"
