Chapter 649 In My Opinion, Lin Nan Is the Most Suitable

In two weeks, Transformers 4 has earned a super high box office of 1.57 billion, and its daily box office performance is still very strong.

"Ip Man 3" and "The Breakup Guru" firmly occupy the second and third places, earning 567 million and 500 million respectively.

The industry is full of sighs, and everyone is lamenting that a Hollywood science fiction film can easily beat two domestic high-grossing films in the same period.

Thinking about the Lunar New Year holiday, another science fiction blockbuster will be waiting for everyone - Nolan's "Interstellar", and the film industry will have a headache!

This year's mainland film market is hard to describe.

Except for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", which has maintained the face of domestic films, the market has been eaten up by imported films.

Everyone misses the days when Han Sanping was still there. The days with a mountain sculpture are good days.

However, many people in the industry have also noticed the originally inconspicuous "Old Boy: Way of the Dragon".

Although it has only been released for one day, the word-of-mouth response of this movie is very good.

At the box office, it also seemed to be another dark horse, earning 22.68 million on the first day, which surprised the industry.

"So, apart from the acting department, other majors can always give people surprises. This is another art department student who can direct, act and sing!"

Lin Nan looked at Xiao Yang's resume and teased.

"Director Lin, the funds for "The Lost Tomb" have been deposited into the special account by those three companies.

In addition, the Golden Horse Awards are asking again. The Hundred Flowers Awards have also sent an invitation, and would like to invite you to attend the awards ceremony."

Hearing the last two sentences of Yue Jun, Lin Nan slowly raised his head, with a helpless expression.

The higher the achievements and status in the circle, the more trivial matters there are, which is very troublesome.

"There is no movie this year, and there is no need to repay the favor. The Golden Horse Awards can help me decline. As for the Hundred Flowers, alas, I really can't get interested."

To be honest, Lin Nan has no opinion on the Hundred Flowers. After all, he won the award when he went to the Hundred Flowers for the first time.

But in the past five or six years, the reputation of the Hundred Flowers Awards is really hard to say. It has become as mysterious as the Golden Rooster Awards.

Either the award results overlap with the netizens' predictions by 90%, without any suspense, and do not distinguish between good and bad works, which seems to be unintentional;

Or copy the award results of the Golden Rooster Awards of the previous year, and choose those movies that have entered the theaters to give awards, perfunctory;

And the last most criticized problem: the Hundred Flowers Awards are suspected of being publicized and manipulated in advance!

For several sessions, the Hundred Flowers Awards have been nicknamed by the film and television industry: Huayi's Hundred Flowers Awards.

"Lu Yang, Guo Fan and others should go, so I'll forget it. Let them have fun and treat it as a trip to the northwest."

After thinking about it, Lin Nan still refused. "By the way, have all the actors of "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" been notified?"

"I was about to notify them. They will join the crew in three days and officially start filming in four days."

"Okay, go ahead."

Looking at Yue Jun's leaving figure, Lin Nan remembered Jiang Wen's instructions yesterday and couldn't help laughing.

That guy actually asked him to tell the crew to take care of "Sister Liu" during the filming, after all, she is an old person.

But Lin Nan just saw the promotional photos of Liu Xiaoqing's new drama on Weibo.

She has two braids, a shoulder bag, and looks like a girl. How can she be 62 years old? She is obviously 26 years old!

"Haha..., it really makes me laugh to death."

Lin Nan thought about it and got goose bumps. It was scary.

…………

At noon, the film and television circles and the media were all discussing Ma Yun's remarks at the Ali Pictures press conference.

Now Ali is a star enterprise, and Lao Ma is a "god"! So his speech can really arouse the emotions of ordinary people.

"At present, there is a big problem in the domestic film and television cultural industry: that is, there is money but no brains, the pockets are full, but the heads are empty.

If the cultural industry cannot take off, we will be a nouveau riche. So Alibaba Pictures will learn from Netflix and House of Cards.

We will create film and television works based on the audience's preferences, and the audience can even lead the direction of the works, so that new vitality can appear in the film and television cultural industry..."

In addition to "exposing" the shortcomings of the current film and television industry and promoting Alibaba's film and television thinking, Lao Ma also publicly called out:

I hope that capable screenwriters and powerful newcomers will join Alibaba Pictures and become the founders and pioneers of the new era of the film and television industry.

Many old people in the traditional film and television industry sneer at Lao Ma's set. Zhang Qiang said last month that Alibaba will not need professional talents in the future.

Why join Alibaba Pictures now? To dig your own grave?

Lin Nan flipped through the news. He never believed Ma Yun's words. This person's routine is too deep. But it is undeniable that the latter's appeal is also unsolvable at the moment.

Not long after the speech in the morning, the stock price began to soar, and countless investors jumped into the trap, as if they had finally bet on the right thing.

Lin Nan estimated that Alibaba should have started sharpening its knife.

Liu Yifei was typing away on the keyboard, replying to emails.

"At the latest from the beginning of October, I will follow the crew of "Interstellar" to participate in publicity activities, and a press conference will be held in China in early November."

After typing the last sentence and clicking send, Miss Liu stretched her waist and said sweetly to Lin Nan with a healing smile.

In her heart, the second most important thing this year is "Interstellar".

"Early November? Well, it's quite appropriate. There should be a red carpet by then." Lin Nan nodded and said.

For this kind of science fiction blockbuster, Warner will definitely have to do a lot in promoting it, not to mention that the mainland is the second largest film market in the world.

Just as he was talking to Liu Yifei about how to support her, Lin Nan's phone vibrated.

"Director Wang's phone calls are really irregular."

"Hurry up, it should be business." Miss Liu reminded, and then went to the kitchen.

"Director Wang, it's almost dinner time, would you like to treat me to dinner?"

"Oh, yes. You can take Yifei and go out now." Wang Changtian said with a joking smile.

"Then let's have the next meal. I'll have dinner here soon. If anything happens, Director Wang will tell you immediately."

"Okay, let's get down to business. Xu Zheng's "囧" has been reviewed, and we are planning to launch the project, cast the cast, and select a date to start filming.

Send someone to supplement the contract. I feel sad when I think that you accounted for 20% of the box office share, which is not 20% of the divisible box office! "

Wang Changtian joked and spoke his mind.

Lin Nan didn't take it seriously, "Let's do it in the afternoon, I'll send someone to the light."

"Yeah, no problem. One more thing, Guangmao is planning to make another youth movie. If you are interested, you can ask."

Sure enough, I have tasted the sweetness of youth movies. The last movie "My Deskmate" has only been released for two months, and now a new youth movie is about to be released.

"Let me hear it, what project is Guangguang planning to start? Is it an adaptation of a novel?" Lin Nan asked in a dignified manner.

"Well, the very popular youth novel "Left Ear". The director has also been decided, Su Youpeng, and we are preparing to choose the person."

Lin Nan remembers Guangguang's "Actor-New Director Project", which seemed to include Su Youpeng.

"Forget it. I'm not interested in youth movies. I wish the movie "Guangguang" will be a success."

"What about the actors? Are there any fortresses?"

"The only person in our company who is of the right age to star in a youth film is Reba, what do you think, Director Wang?"

"I understand, "Searching for the Dragon" is more important, haha."

…………

Without Donnie Yen's "Ip Man 3", the box office will not be affected at all, it is still very good.

This once again reminds actors in the film and television industry that as long as the quality of a work is good, no actor is irreplaceable.

Especially those action actors who don't rely much on their acting skills. There will never be a shortage of people in the industry who can fight better than you! The same goes for vase actors. There is never a shortage of better-looking actors in the industry.

In the two weeks since its release, "Ip Man 3" has done well at the box office in Hong Kong Island, which has led to Donnie Yen being criticized by all kinds of people.

The old man from Hong Kong who once spoke for him has become silent now.

Because Yinghuang was determined to follow the Mainland, even the movies that the group participated in, they blocked Donnie Yen by default.

Do you want to ask him if he regrets asking for a salary of 30 million? Donnie Yen must regret it.

For one thirty million, he lost a lot of thirty million, and even fell down the line.

At this time, the manager hurried over from outside, looked at Zhen Zidan who looked not very good, and said excitedly:

"Ignore that "Ip Man 3" thing, and forget about the ridicule from outside, the opportunity has come."

Hearing this, Zhen Zidan immediately came back to his senses, his eyes widened, and he asked hurriedly: "What opportunity?"

"Your call just failed to get through. Master Yuan Ba ​​has promised to give you a chance. Follow me now and go see him immediately."

"Master Yuan Ba? Is it that one?"

"right!"

Hearing this, Zhen Zidan was so excited that he walked out without saying a word.

…

China Film, Chairman's Office.

La Peikang was still thinking about what happened yesterday. After the initial conversation, he realized that it was indeed a big production.

And the intention there is very clear, they can provide most of the funds to make a real co-production blockbuster with China Film!

"Gathering top casts from both sides, the most distinctive Chinese elements to date, global distribution and public release..."

The more La Peikang murmured, the more excited he became. He understood Han Sanping more and more. This feeling was really great!

Where do political achievements come from? Ordinary commercial films will not do.

Political achievements must come from co-production films, main themes, gift films, and pioneering films!

"La Dong, didn't they say they are still working on the script? There shouldn't be any rush."

"Well, there is no rush. It is expected to be completed by the end of September or early October. We will discuss the specific content then.

I'm thinking about the director right now. Who in China can take over this job? "

La Peikang spoke and glanced at the secretary. The domestic film market is becoming more and more prosperous, and Hollywood is also taking the initiative to make concessions in order to cooperate.

“There are only so many great directors in China.”

La Peikang nodded. The secretary was right, that's all. He vaguely had someone in mind.

"What do you think of Lin Nan? Although he is young, he is the box office record holder for domestic films. He was the first mainland director to reach the US$200 million box office club in the North American film market. He is also very famous in Hollywood and has many friends. "

The secretary smiled and said nothing. La Peikang's tone did not mean a question at all, but a statement, which could also be said to be an affirmative sentence.

"La Dong, don't you already have a candidate in mind?"

"Hahaha, indeed. In my opinion, Lin Nan is the most suitable!"

La Peikang smiled and nodded without denying it.

"To be more specific, let's wait until the end of September or the beginning of October. They will come over then, and you can have an interview with Lin Nan. For now, keep it a secret, so as not to let Shangying make any decisions."

"Got it, Mr. La. I'll pass the order along."
