Chapter 494 Movies, TV Series, Dubbing

After settling the film investment issue, Wu Tian completely let go.

"In the next two or three months, he will first conduct casting and military training, and the filming will probably start in the middle of the year.

You and Director Lin must come to the set to take a look. He has borrowed tanks and cannons, real stuff!"

Xie Nan is like a good wife, helping Wu Tian deal with interpersonal relationships. She also calls from time to time to talk about the progress of the film preparation.

"Well, no problem."

Liu Yifei also agreed very straightforwardly. This is the first film she invested and produced alone, which is of great significance.

Lin Nan did not get involved in the matter of "Wolf Warrior". He rushed to complete the post-production editing of "The Invisible Guest".

...

The mainland film market has returned to a bloody state, but it is only domestic films that are bleeding and becoming cannon fodder.

Although "Love in Seattle" still has ten days to be released, its daily box office has fallen below 100,000, and the number of screenings is also very small.

Lin Nan decisively chose to withdraw the film early, just to leave a little more room for other domestic films to survive.

"The potential of the movie "Love in Seattle" has been exhausted, and the film company withdrew the film early. The total box office of the movie closed at 582 million, unfortunately stopping before the 600 million threshold."

"Produced by Lin Nan Films and directed by Lu Yang, "One Man's Martial Arts" will be released at the end of next month, taking over "Love in Seattle."

...

"This movie is a love movie, and the three patch ads are all jewelry, cosmetics and the like, with a revenue of 32 million.

This is because the movie is produced by our company, otherwise it would be impossible to reach this number with the commercial appeal of Director Xue."

Yue Jun reported the summary data of "Love in Seattle" to Lin Nan. This movie is still a small bet for a big win, and it is very profitable.

"What about "One Man's Martial Arts"?" Lin Nan asked.

Although "The Blade of the Assassin" did not have a high box office like "Love Is Not Blind", due to the type of movie, Lin Nan felt that Lu Yang should be more attractive to advertisers than Xue Xiaolu.

Sure enough, Yue Jun laughed even more happily, "According to the company's practice, there are a maximum of three patch ads, but this time there is only one."

"One?"

"Yes, liquor. How can 'Wulin' be without liquor? They bought out three patch ads and will shoot a long ad. The total price is 57 million!"

After hearing this explanation, Lin Nan understood.

This price is actually a bit high for Lu Yang. But who says it's appropriate? Jianghu and Wulin really can't do without liquor, and these companies are not short of money!

At this moment, Lu Yang is taking a group of main creators to appear on shows and run roadshows. This movie is still under pressure.

Yinghuang is also busy. They are responsible for the distribution in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Speaking of Yinghuang, Lin Nan thought of Jiang Wen's new movie "One Step Away". In the past two days, the casting for the movie has begun.

And Jiang Wen's step this time is very big, which makes the film industry feel a little crazy.

The initial budget for the entire film was 300 million yuan. From the beginning of filming, 3D cameras and supporting facilities were used to prepare for 3D film versions such as IMAX.

Jiang Wen vowed to benchmark Hollywood's top blockbusters, and the technical team directly hired the Columbia team.

The most important thing is that he was very bold this time, full of confidence and ambition, as if he wanted to eat a full meal and get back all the losses and under-profits in the past.

Jiang Wen did not bring anyone with him for the 300 million yuan investment. It was all borne by him and Ma Ke's Happy Pictures, and it was fully funded!

Even the investment intention of his old acquaintance Yang Shoucheng was rejected by him, which shows Jiang Wen's appetite and determination this time.

But no matter what, Lin Nan was confused about the script of "One Step Away".

On the plane back from Cannes last year, the plots and scenes that Jiang Wen talked about had a very good hypnotic effect!

"By the way, the film "The Chef, the Scoundrel, the Actor" has sent an invitation letter to Director Lin, and it was just delivered to the company this morning."

Yue did not forget to remind him when he left.

This film is also the most anticipated domestic film in March, known as "Three Movie Kings in One Play".

"Well, I know."

Lin Nan responded and continued to send text messages.

…………

It is said that people who have no shame are invincible.

This sentence is vividly reflected in Huayi.

A few days ago, Zhou Xingchi lost the lawsuit and returned to Hong Kong Island. Even so, he was ridiculed by many Hong Kong filmmakers.

Especially those old enemies and old rivals, who can be said to be unilaterally chasing and scolding, chasing and biting, and the words are extremely unbearable.

And Zhou Xingchi did not respond to the sarcasm of these people, but it is rare to say something else.

In the eyes of the public, Zhou Xingchi's film output efficiency is very low, but this time it is not the case.

When he was interviewed by Hong Kong media, he said frankly that the next movie has been put on the agenda.

Moreover, he was already thinking about the new movie while filming "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

The new movie will be a choice between the sequel of "Conquering the Demons" and another movie project. This time it won't take too long, at most one and a half to two years of preparation, and the project will be launched.

This news spread from Hong Kong Island to the mainland, and the film industry was excited.

Whether it is film and television companies, distribution companies, or the vast number of fans and audiences, they are all looking forward to it.

Several large companies have publicly expressed their intention to cooperate and issued cooperation invitations.

At this time, some mainland media went to interview Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei:

"Master Xing said that preparations for a new movie have begun. So, is it possible for Huayi to cooperate with him in the future, or does Huayi still want to cooperate with director Zhou Xingchi?"

It was this question that made the film industry see Huayi's shamelessness.

Wang Zhongjun said without any hesitation, "Of course. Zhou Xingchi is an excellent filmmaker, and Hua Yi doesn't want to miss it."

"But the conflict between you has reached the point of filing a lawsuit. Is it possible to cooperate in the future?"

Wang Zhonglei added with a Yue Buqun-like smile:

"Let's talk about the facts. A lawsuit is a lawsuit, and cooperation is cooperation. We still very much hope to continue to cooperate with Mr. Zhou Xingchi..."

With this face, many colleagues in the industry "admire" him, he is indeed Huayi!

Wang Zhonglei seemed to have completely forgotten that he had ridiculed and belittled Zhou Xingchi a few days ago. His words were extremely humiliating!

In less than half a day, Zhou Xingchi responded to Hua Yi’s statement in a very rare way, but without naming him;

"Whenever I direct or produce movies in the future, I will carefully choose my partners and learn from my experience. Thank you all."

Lively, the circle became lively instantly.

Although this is said euphemistically, everyone can understand that in the future movies directed and produced by Zhou Xingchi, he will not cooperate with Huayi!

You know, Zhou Xingchi rarely responds to these conflicts and disputes. This time he made an exception for Hua Yi.

Lin Nan just watched the excitement. The ancients also knew that horse bones were bought for a thousand gold, but when it came to Huayi, it turned into killing the donkey and attacking the partners!

…………

"An actress comparable to Gong Li..."

Lin Nan went through the actresses in the circle, let alone comparable, there were only a few who were just a little bit behind.

At this time, the phone on the table received a call.

Lin Nan looked at the caller ID and smiled.

"Did you see my text message?"

"I saw it. I have to say, Director Lin, you are really discerning!"

"Then, do you want to come over and sign the contract? I know that you have never limited your own path. You will be accepted in movies and TV shows."

Lin Nan invited jokingly.

I just heard Zhou Xun on the other end of the phone pause for a moment:

"There is no schedule in the first half of the year. I even turned down the Hong Kong Film Awards next month. You know, of the five movies nominated for best actress, two of them were me!"

What Zhou Xun said was very arrogant. This is the real confidence of an actor.

"Then the second half of the year. I've gone through the circle, and only you can try it. After all, the comparison object is Gong Li. Except..."

"Haha, besides being older? Come on, I just hung up the phone."

"Besides not being able to join the group right away, your temper is very similar to that of 'Jiu'er'!"

Lin Nan changed his words in time, this guy is really smart!

"That's pretty much it. Then I'll leave the schedule for the second half of the year to you. Business is business, and I'm very expensive."

Lin Nan smiled and said, "That's it, come back and sign the contract."

"knew."

…

Nowadays, the cost of TV dramas is generally very high, especially when choosing big-name actors.

But Lin Nan doesn't care about this. The online broadcast channel of this TV series is destined to be Tudou.

And the TV station's price will definitely not be low, just because the cast and the original author are Nobel Prize winners.

After deciding on the male and female protagonists, Lin Nan left the rest to Jiang Yuerou and the others, including the casting of the director and other actors.

In the outside world, several young actresses seem to be competing in the ring.

Here, Tang Dynasty occasionally shows some Reuters photos of Liu Shishi on the set of "Step by Step", and over there, Ni Nai and Feng Shaofeng show off their affection.

Yang Mi firmly takes the top spot, and "Love in Seattle" with 582 million yuan is still popular.

The one who makes people want to complain the most is Yang Ying.

The media is solemnly reporting: "Yang Ying, one of the four newly promoted actresses, will star in Yuzheng Studio's new drama, "The Romance of Love in the Clouds"."

Later, Yang Ying also posted on Weibo in a high-profile manner: "I will join the group next month and I will not let everyone down."

Huang Xiaoming is also on Weibo, cheering and cheering for his girlfriend, which is quite powerful!

However, netizens complained a lot, including cynicism and sarcasm.

"Yang Ying has no acting skills, the leader of the Knife Sect, and Yu Zheng who plagiarizes, this combination is perfect!"

"But I have to say that this group is a hot topic! It's all negative news..."

…

When Lin Nan got home, she received a phone call. It was a joke.

At the end of November last year, he, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Zhu Yawen, and Luo Jin, representing the crew of "Genius Gunslinger", went to the Golden Horse and Bati No. 4 Middle School and became the big winners.

This incident put the Mainland Film Festival into an embarrassing situation, and Golden Rooster in particular was pushed to the forefront.

The call right now was from a "peacemaker" from Nortel.

I hope he can sign up for this year's Golden Rooster Awards, whether it's "Genius Gunslinger" or "Time Traveler", he can sign up for one or both.

Lin Nan laughed angrily, what kind of shameless request is this? It was clear that he wanted him to serve as a stepping stone for the Golden Rooster.

"Registration ends at the end of May? What does it have to do with me! Do you think I look like a fool?"

Lin Nan showed no mercy. Not to mention that he would not go, his two movies were far from the "taste" of the Golden Rooster Awards.

In Lin Nan's opinion, with the style of the Golden Rooster Awards, even if he went to Feng Xiaogang's miserable blockbuster "1942", he might be fooled, let alone Lin Nan's commercial film.

When he hung up the phone, the other party was still "earnestly" asking Lin Nan to think about it again. Lin Nan directly replied: "Don't think about it. The Golden Rooster is too high for me, so I won't be a monkey."

Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't call Lin Nan, which explained the problem.

These people definitely didn't talk to Tian Zhuangzhuang, so they had to come to contact and lobby Lin Nan in person, and they didn't even look like they were asking for help.

Liu Yifei held her mobile phone in both hands and chatted there. I don't know who she was chatting with, but she typed quite fast.

"Oh, the 02 class group! What are they gossiping about this time?" Lin Nan glanced and asked.

Miss Liu raised her head and looked at Lin Nan in confusion:

"I just saw the gossip more than half an hour ago. They said Tang Yan...was hurt by love...cut her wrists to commit suicide?"

Fuck!

Hearing this, Lin Nan was dumbfounded. Is there such a silly girl now?

But thinking about it again in the next second, he was relieved. Maybe there really is one.

Opening the computer, the Internet was very lively.

After the hospital photos were exposed, Tang Yan's studio immediately responded: "I accidentally cut the fruit. Thank you for your concern."

But when cutting fruit, no matter how much you accidentally cut, you can only cut your hand at most. How did it become your wrist?

In addition, this month the media exposed that she was a scumbag and broke up. Her agent, assistant, etc. also accused the man of being shameless and a scumbag, which made the majority of netizens imagine more.

"Okay, maybe she is really a silly girl?" Lin Nan sighed and muttered.

At this time, Liu Yifei also came over.

She looked at Lin Nan and said suddenly: "If one day, you become a scumbag."

"How could I..."

Lin Nan immediately retorted that he had always been an honest man and did things in an honest way... The key is that Liu Yifei's eyes are quite scary, she is very serious.

"I mean if, if there really is that day..."

"What about it?"

Lin Nan swallowed his saliva, looked at Liu Yifei's delicate face, and asked with a smile.

I saw Miss Liu's pretty face close to him, less than ten centimeters away, face to face, looking directly into Lin Nan's eyes.

Suddenly, she smiled, bit her teeth lightly, and said in a gentle tone:

"Then, let's be sisters."

Hiss...

Lin Nan instantly felt a little chilly on her body.

"Then don't think about it, you can only give birth to a pair of sisters at most."

"Go to hell, who... woo woo..."

Fortunately, Lin Nan was smart and blocked Miss Liu's mouth. It's better not to discuss the topic of being sisters.

One night passed.

The headlines in the entertainment news have been replaced with news about Tang Yan.

The scumbag from Taiwan has become the target of the mainland netizens. Such a good girl, with fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs... She was actually scumbed by a little actor from Taiwan, and even cuckolded!

…………

"Why did you really become a jinx?"

Zhu Yawen ran to Lin Nan Films to sign the contract, and said with a suspicious look on her face.

At the beginning, she was just teasing Luo Jin, asking him to try with Tang Yan. In the end, she also joked that having a partner is not necessarily a good match. Now, it's good, it's really right.

"Congratulations, Master Zhu, you got it right."

Lin Nan handed Zhu Yawen the contract that his assistant had prepared long ago.

That is, best friends can go directly to Lin Nan's office to sign the contract. Other actors can only go to the third floor meeting room at most.

"I was thinking, should I go and say hello? After all, we are all familiar with each other and are friends."

"Privately. Well, also remind Luo Jin." Lin Nan nodded and said that he had to say hello.

"By the way, the filming will start in the second half of the year. The partner I found for you is Zhou Xun, so study hard. Brother Xun's acting skills are eight streets ahead of yours."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Zhu Yawen immediately retorted:

"How can you be so exaggerated? At most... at most four or five streets ahead..."

…………

Registration for the Golden Rooster Awards has officially begun.

Last year, due to the competition for the Oscar quota, "1942" missed the Golden Horse Awards, and finally lost to "Search". Feng Xiaogang was so angry that he complained for a long time.

So, this time he immediately registered "1942" for the Golden Rooster Awards.

After that, including "Search", various "in-system" movies, or mainland and Hong Kong co-productions, all began to register. These are all the "favorites" of the Golden Rooster.

"It is reported that Director Lin Nan will miss the selection of this year's Golden Rooster Film Festival again. So far, it has been four sessions..."

It is not known where the media got the news from, but Lin Nan estimated that it should be the Golden Rooster that took the initiative to reveal it.

Everyone in the industry and online could guess and discuss it.

"Sure enough, there is still no director Lin Nan this year."

"If you refuse, then refuse. Why not be absent? You are saving face for yourself. People with knowledge are good at nitpicking!"

"It's another Golden Rooster Awards. Let's see what will happen this year..."

...

"Lin, my dear boss, I waited until it was daytime and called you."

Tom's call reached Lin Nan, and it sounded like he had some good news.

"Good, you've learned your lesson. What's the matter with the call?"

"Good news. Is Crystal here? It's about her."

"I'm at the company. She's taking part in a magazine shoot. Just tell me if you have anything to say."

"Okay. Lin, didn't you contact Disney at the last reception for Frankenweenie? They sent an invitation."

Although two months have passed, Lin Nan has not forgotten what he talked about with the Disney people.

"Are you sure you received the invitation?"

"Of course, the invitation was sent to Crystal Pictures. You or Crystal had better reply as soon as possible. Disney will notify you of the follow-up arrangements.

It is estimated that Crystal will have to come to participate in the post-dubbing in one or two months at most, unless you choose to refuse now..."

"What are you thinking? How could I refuse? After all, I was the one who suggested it."

Lin Nan said with a smile. After confirming that it was true, he was in a very good mood.

At that time, Liu Yifei went to Paris. In the evening, Lin Nan was invited to attend the public relations reception for Frankenweenie.

At the party, Lin Nan learned that Disney was making "The Snow Queen", and he immediately recommended it at the party. Unexpectedly, it really worked.

"Well, I know, I will pass it on to her. Thank you for your hard work, Tom."

"You're welcome, say hello to the boss lady for me. I look forward to seeing you and Crystal in a month or two."

"Haha, I will."
