Chapter 563 Keep It for Yourself?

After nine days of release, the box office of "The Dragon King" has exceeded 400 million, which shocked the film industry.

If this continues, Xu Ke may break his own highest box office record, which was "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" which was released during the Lunar New Year period last year with a box office of 520 million.

In the past few days, Huayi can be said to have swept away the decline of the past two years and finally has a movie that is a hit at the box office.

On the other hand, "Special Identity", which is fully produced by Starlight, also held its premiere ceremony 10 days in advance.

More than 200 media, film and television companies, theaters and filmmakers from the industry came, and the scene was magnificent!

As the absolute "core", Zhen Zi is single and holds the three positions of male lead, martial arts instructor and director of production.

He regarded "Special Identity" as his trump card to "regain his reputation" in the field of action films, and it was also a comeback.

"Before, we have never mentioned the specific box office target of our movie. Today, through the premiere, I can clearly tell all my media friends, fans and audiences:

My team expects the box office of this movie to be at least 600 million yuan, and we are very confident. I will also tell some colleagues what is the benchmark for modern action movies.

The action design of "Special Identity" has completely reached the level of leading the trend, and has reached a height that some foreign filmmakers who shoot action scenes can use it as a reference..."

Donnie Yen's words were so powerful that they were reported that afternoon and quickly spread throughout the film and television circles and the Internet.

Many people in the industry are joking, saying that what Donnie Yen said was meant for Yinghuang, Lin Nan Pictures and Zhao Wenzhuo.

As for the box office expectation of 600 million, isn't this compared to the box office of "One Man's Martial Arts" of more than 500 million? !

"If his movie fails, he will be completely kicked out of the first-line team in the field of action movies, and other types of movies will not get his turn."

After Yue Jun came back, he made a rare comment on Zhen Zidan, and his tone was very affirmative.

"Then I guess he has to stay in the second line, hahaha..."

Lin Nan took over the conversation and added.

He would never believe that a movie produced by a "martial arts director" who controls the team and the overall situation would be a good movie.

The most striking example is Yuan Heping. As a martial arts instructor, he was the best, but when he switched to a director, he almost lost every movie he made, and they were all bad movies.

What's more, it's a dabbler like Donnie Yen, who directs the director as a martial artist, starring actor and producer, and intervenes in the filming of the film.

…………

I remember it seemed like six years ago, "The Legend of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" was "reported" and taken off the shelves.

This made many colleagues in the industry call it unbelievable, and it was simply ridiculous.

In the past two days, in the eyes of many industry insiders and netizens, the very childish "Pleasant Goat" and "Bear Infested" were also "reported" and had to be suspended and rectified.

Those reasons for reporting are really weird.

Just like "Pleasant Goat", what: the lambs always tease the village chief and disrespect their elders; the red wolf often inflicts domestic violence on the gray wolf;

Big Big Wolf roasts, boils, and electrocutes sheep to teach bad things to children; Red Wolf and Big Big Wolf always call them disgusting names like "wife" and "husband", which induces children to "sexually" mature prematurely.

"Bear Bears" is even more direct. The entire cartoon is a violent conflict between Bald Qiang and two bears, as well as guns and ammunition.

As a result, many companies with animation businesses in the industry are trembling and starting to be timid, and even Lin Nan has been affected.

"Shiyue Culture is worried that if "The Return of the Great Sage" is produced, it will be reported in the same way.

I heard that CCTV's "Journey to the West" cartoon has been reported many times in the past two years, and I can't stand it anymore. "

Yue Jun conveyed the concerns of Jin Dayong and others to Lin Nan, and many animated films were reported to be removed from the shelves.

Lin Nan pinched his eyebrows, wanting to laugh but feeling sad at the same time. This was such a bad environment. It would be better for you to ban some sacred dramas than to stare at cartoons!

"Tell them, don't worry about this, I'm here. If anything unexpected happens, I'll go and talk to them.

Besides, after entering the theater chain, I will put it directly on Tudou. If it doesn’t work, there’s still another way. I’ll find the movie channel to help promote it, as well as the film bureau…”

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Yue Jun felt much safer instantly.

"By the way, what progress has been made to what I told you last time?" Lin Nan looked at the Vietnamese army and asked.

"Director Lin, you also said that this matter cannot be rushed and can be taken slowly. I just expressed my intention to acquire it tactfully two days ago."

"Then what?"

"Several founders had different opinions and a lot of resistance. Some of them agreed to our investment..."

"Didn't you refuse on the spot?"

"That's not true." Yue Jun thought for a while, shook his head and said.

"If you didn't refuse on the spot, that's good news. Just keep working hard. Forget about buying shares, that's because they are taking advantage, unless it's 100%.

When it comes to dreams, it's best to talk after a full meal, getting the best of both worlds without any delay. In the end, the worst thing to do is to use the trick to win the bottom of the box - add money! "

"Hahaha, what you said, Director Lin, is really interesting."

…………

The National Day holiday is over, but the movie market has no intention of cooling down.

"I Want to Be Good With You", produced by LeTV and produced by Feng Shaofeng and Ni Nai, grossed 14.85 million at the box office on the first day.

For a low-budget literary and artistic love film with an investment cost of just over 10 million, this is a very impressive result.

They are also boyfriends and girlfriends in real life, playing lovers together in the movie.

This movie by Feng Shaofeng and Ni Yi is much better than the movie "A Romantic Affair" by Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying!

However, so far, all the records of the same type of movies are still in the hands of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

It is the romantic literary film "The Fault in Our Stars" that won the Cannes Film Festival Jury Award and the Best Supporting Actress Award, and the domestic box office reached 488 million!

After thinking for two days, Lin Nan still called Tom.

"Lin, have you considered it? They urged me several times. Their offer is more than six times the price we paid for it, nearly seven times."

"Tom, tell them that we are not considering selling this novel."

"What? Lin, what does this mean? Does our company want to keep it for ourselves?"

Lin Nan nodded subconsciously and said with a smile: "It's not impossible. Listen to me and reject them. I will have plans and arrangements for this novel later."

"Okay, listen to you, who makes you the boss. Also, say hello to Crystal for me."

"Haha, you are such a flatterer. I will pass it on." Lin Nan laughed and cursed, then hung up the phone.

…………

"Breakup Master" has only been filming for half a month. I heard from Wang Changtian that Deng Chao and the crew have already flown to Mauritius, and the filming progress is quite fast.

When Lin Nan heard it at first, four words popped up in his mind: "shoddy"? !

But when I think about it, it seems that this is a movie that is forced to be funny for the sake of being funny. It is not very good. It is just for making money!

Thinking about it this way, Lin Nan felt much better, without the "pressure" of conscience.

Liu Yifei, who came back from the crew of "Interstellar", resumed her "lazy" and leisurely life in the past.

Adding Shu Chang, the two people have exactly the same purpose and the same state: eating, drinking and having fun.

However, Lin Nan did not get involved. He went back to Beijing Film Academy again.

Han Jianu's short film has been edited. As a producer, Lin Nan has to go and see it. This is his responsibility.

Driving all the way to the Film Academy, and then entering the school gate by face recognition, aroused the curiosity and discussion of many passing students.

Lin Nan's photo has always been the "top card" in the school's outstanding alumni column.

In recent years, students on campus are much smarter and more thoughtful than before.

Lin Nan would be stopped from time to time when walking on campus, and 99% of them were girls.

This made him sigh that the acting department was becoming less and less reliable in recruiting people. They only looked at the face and not the potential.

And the teaching quality was also getting worse and worse. These students had no acting skills at all.

When they saw Lin Nan, the scheming and desire in her eyes were obviously more than the "admiration" they said.

"When I return to school, I have to choose carefully what courses to take..."

Walking all the way to the directing department, Lin Nan found Han Jianu in the editing room.

"Brother Lin, you are here. Please help me take a look at the short film of 32 minutes and 43 seconds in total."

Generally speaking, a short film should be 20 minutes long, but I didn't expect Han Jianu's to be half an hour.

"Is the thesis finished?"

"Yes, I just finished it these two days."

Lin Nan had a feeling that Han Jianu seemed a little different today. Did she grow up in a few days?

"You used to be carefree in front of me, but today you are so 'normal', isn't that a bit abnormal?"

"Alas, my dad has changed a lot in the past half month, which made me reflect a lot.

He said he wanted to start a company for me and asked me not to be so out of tune like before. He said a lot, and he never talked to me so much before..."

Han Jianu sighed and said a lot.

Uh... It's really hard for Lin Nan to respond to this kind of thing.

He knew that the father and daughter had rarely communicated before. Old Han was busy with the affairs of China Film, and his daughter was basically free.

This sudden change was quite abrupt, and it might indeed change Han Jianu a lot.

"Come on, let's take a look at your graduation work first..."

Lin Nan sat in the seat that Han Jianu gave up and started to play the film.

The 32-minute and 43-second short film was played back and forth three times before Lin Nan stopped.

"The camera editing is quite smooth, the camera switching is also okay, and the plot... 70 points. In the end, after all kinds of 'extra points', I should be able to get an outstanding graduate."

Lin Nan said to Han Jianu with certainty.

Although this world is very unfair, this is the reality.

With him and Han Sanping's endorsement, Xiao Han's final score will not be unexpected, and it will definitely be a high score of no less than 90 points!

Hearing Lin Nan say this, Han Jianu instantly laughed.

"Then from tomorrow, I can go to the Chinese Department with peace of mind, and wait until next year's graduation defense, haha..."

Sure enough, he still misses the Chinese Department.

"Do you still want to be a screenwriter in the future?" Lin Nan asked.

"Well, I like screenwriting, and directing can be an alternative side job."

Han Jianu was very direct, "When I write a good script in the future, I will ask Senior Brother Lin to shoot it?"

"Haha, of course, I am looking forward to your script."

"Then you wait."

When leaving Beijing Film Academy, Lin Nan saw Chen Jinfei's car at the school gate.

It was not Chen Jinfei who got off the car, but the female student from the acting department who looked a bit like Liu Xiaoli.

Of course, in Lin Nan's opinion, at most, they looked a bit similar, but the most important temperament was far different.

…………

I guess I won't be able to get up in the morning...
