Chapter 882 Lin Nan Films Film Market; Filming Begins
Chapter 882 Lin Nan Films·Film Market; Start Shooting
"I don't know how to evaluate "Charlotte's Troubles". This comedy movie is really wild! This question is too difficult. I can't do it! I can't do it! Haha..."
"I've thought about it. From now on, we will talk about our own things. I call you brother and you call me dad... What are you looking for? Dad will help you find it. - This is a philosophy of life, worth learning!"
"The movie is funny from beginning to end, there are jokes everywhere, but it is also reality everywhere! The mistress who successfully intervened, the teacher who accepted gifts and bribes, "My District Head Father", the principal sleeps with whoever he wants..."
"It's terrifying to think about it. Why did Meng Te~Jiao panic immediately after hearing about Charlotte? He also has to follow Let's go for a checkup together? Hiss... double plugs? "
"This movie is definitely the funniest comedy movie in recent years, but it is not a pure comedy! Why do you still feel a little uncomfortable after laughing? Is it the kind of regret, depression, and heartache?"
"Charlotte is still childish. He should have withdrawn in time before "Charlotte's talent ran out", started a company, signed artists, and made capital. Only a fool would continue to work hard on his own."
"A dream of a yellow beam, a dream of a yellow beam, is a beautiful dream, and also a dream of awakening! The movie is great, and it is worth savoring countless times!"
...
Early in the morning of National Day, the Internet was flooded with reviews of "Charlotte's Troubles", and it was all in the headlines of film and television and Weibo hot searches.
This movie has already exploded!
"Jointly produced by Happy Twist and Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Yan Fei and Peng Damo, starring Shen Teng, Ma Li, Wang Zhi, Yin Zheng, Song Yang and others, the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" grossed 110 million yuan on the first day of its release; the film received rave reviews and aroused large-scale discussions and heated discussions on the entire network, and it is likely to become a phenomenal movie..."
"According to the representative of the theater chain: If nothing unexpected happens, the theaters under the major theater chains will increase the screening rate of "Charlotte's Troubles" from today, and gradually increase the number of screenings to meet the viewing needs of the audience and fans."
"Jointly produced by Zhenledao, Guangguang, and Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Xu Zheng, the third film in the "囧" series, "Hong Kong囧", earned 89.91 million yuan at the box office yesterday;
The movie has been released for 6 days, and the total box office has reached 994 million yuan, and it is about to break the 1 billion mark! Xu Zheng will become the second person in China to have two 1 100 million box office + movie director."
"According to official data, the combined box office of the two movies "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Lost in Hong Kong" yesterday accounted for more than 93% of the daily box office market!
That is, the movies produced by Lin Nan Pictures accounted for more than 93% of the daily box office market, which has formed a de facto box office monopoly; yesterday's mainland movie market was also the Lin Nan Pictures·Movie Market!"
"Director Lin Nan made a 1.5 billion+ box office prediction at the premiere of "Charlotte's Troubles". There is no doubt that it will be realized with a great probability..."
"Starring Liu Dehua, Liu Ye and others, the action drama "Saving Mr. Wu" did not perform well on the first day, closing at 10.26 million; although it ranked third on the daily box office list, it may have no room for survival in the future..."
Lin Nan received more than a dozen calls in a row, of which more than half were from Happy Twist.
From today, this small company that was previously unknown in the film and television industry has become a big hit;
And Shen Teng and Ma Li will officially appear on the big screen, and after this movie truly breaks the 1 billion yuan box office mark, they will successfully join the ranks of first-line movie actors!
But just as Wang Changtian said on the phone, in a sour tone: The biggest winner of this National Day is Lin Nan Pictures, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei!
Jiaxing Media.
Zeng Jia is really regretting it now, 110 million on the first day, comedy, online word of mouth is off the charts... Anyone in the industry knows what this means!
And those bad reviews from film critics, such as "middle-aged men's fantasy", "distorted worldview", "daydreaming", "stinky", etc., can be completely ignored;
Because those people make money from this, if you want them to say good things, either give them benefits, or you have to be a "big shot" who is very important in a specific circle in the industry, such as Chen Kaige!
So, undoubtedly, "Charlotte's Troubles" is really a hit! And Jiaxing Media missed it...
"Mi Mi?"
Looking at Yang Mi staring at the news on the computer screen with a frown on her face, Zeng Jia called out carefully.
"They said that the second female lead, Qiu Ya's role, is also very eye-catching, very eye-catching! The role and setting are not inferior to the first female lead, and everyone likes it..."
Yang Mi's voice was very low, her heart was bleeding! She gave up the second female lead in a movie with a box office of more than 1 billion, and it was a second female lead that the audience could remember and leave a deep impression!
"I, who could have thought at that time, Happy Twist was obviously a grass-roots team, and they didn't have any first-line actors to show off..."
Zeng Jia was helpless, but she couldn't deny that it was indeed she who denied and dispelled Yang Mi's intention;
At that time, Yang Mi originally wanted to take the role because it was a company invested by Lin Nan and a movie invested by Lin Nan Pictures.
"Let's go watch this movie."
Yang Mi didn't say anything to blame or complain about Zeng Jia, but stood up silently and walked out of the company. It's already lost, so what can I do if I regret it? I will stand firm next time...
"Okay."
Zeng Jia couldn't say no, so she could only follow; but she knew that after the two of them watched the movie, Yang Mi would only feel worse!
…………
For others, today is the first day of the National Day holiday; but for Lin Nan, it is the last day of his holiday.
"Starting tomorrow, we have to return to the rhythm of life in the crew. But fortunately, after the start of filming, we will shoot literary dramas in the capital first, and we can go home at night and don't have to go to the hotel."
Lin Nan said happily, newlyweds, the hotel is not convenient.
"Hey... I remember that your movies almost never held a start-up ceremony, right? This time..."
Ning Hao chewed gum and sighed, it would be better to stay in a hotel; the originally good mood disappeared instantly.
"This time is more "formal" than when we filmed "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy". Jindun conveyed that they hope to hold a start-up press conference tomorrow morning. Can I refuse?"
Lin Nan spread his hands, and there was no need to elaborate on the meaning of his words; who else can Jindun pass on the message? Which department is qualified to let Jindun pass on the message?
"Well, then we really have to hold a launch conference!"
Ning Hao nodded, speechless. The department has given so many "green lights" and so much "convenience", and this is the only small request, of course it must be met!
"Lin Nan said that there is a high probability that a leader will attend, and even give a speech."
Liu Yifei took over Ning Hao's words and explained to him. The launch conference of "Operation Mekong" was not hosted by Lin Nan Pictures, but by Golden Shield.
"Then I really can't be late tomorrow morning!" Ning Hao suddenly felt pressured.
...
In South Korea, the Busan International Film Festival also opened today.
Although Lin Nan was not invited, there was a huge poster of Lin Nan at the venue; together with many domestic big directors such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, everyone had a share.
These Koreans really know how to heat themselves up, and they called it: On the 20th anniversary of the Busan Film Festival, they pay tribute to all Asian big directors who have contributed to the film industry.
Not to mention, many of the domestic crews, filmmakers and actors in the past took photos with the posters and posted them.
Just like that, Lin Nan inexplicably had another hot search.
"Lost in Hong Kong" and "Charlotte's Troubles" together accounted for 93.1% of the market yesterday, and it's not likely to be lower today. These two movies are just waiting for the release of "Mojin: The Lost Legend" and "Detective Chinatown" during the Lunar New Year holiday, and I'm afraid it will be even more..."
The situation in the film market has made many production companies in the industry feel desperate; although Huayi has not reached that stage, it is also a headache.
Wang Zhongjun did not respond to Wang Zhonglei immediately. After a few seconds of pause, he spoke and changed the subject:
"The lineup of "Old Cannon" is not small, and there is also the fan market of Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng, which should be able to withstand the pressure of Lin Nan Pictures;
Let's talk about that matter, how is the company of Yang Ying, Feng Shaofeng, Du Chun, and Li Chen progressing?"
"The formalities will be completed and established in the next two days!"
Wang Zhonglei replied. The traditional profit model of the film and television entertainment industry is indeed far less profitable than financial operations that make money quickly and earn more!
Huayi is willing to provide a platform and opportunities, so that others can enjoy the benefits and enjoy the benefits... Few stars in the circle can resist such a good thing, and no one can refuse it!
"Once it is established, immediately announce it to the public and complete the acquisition transaction. Remember to be careful, we are a listed company, and the acquisition of more than 700 million yuan must be included in the financial statements."
"I understand, brother. But Feng Xiaogang? He is already asking."
Hearing Wang Zhonglei's words, Wang Zhongjun paused for a second, then waved his hand:
"After all, his amount is too large, and it is his own company. We will not be able to communicate with the board of directors quickly...
Tell him that it will be done by the end of next month! It will take at most two months, so don't worry, wait a little longer."
Wang Zhongjun said decisively, quite confidently.
"Well, okay."
...
In the afternoon, the Internet once again saw stars forming groups to recommend movies to netizens, fans and audiences.
Represented by Jackie Chan, a number of Hong Kong and mainland stars posted on Weibo to advertise Liu Dehua's "Saving Mr. Wu";
They not only called on fans and audiences to go to the theater to support the movie, but also called on the theater chain to increase the number of screenings and give this good work a chance.
In this case, Lin Nan, an acquaintance, really couldn't express his opinion and could only remain silent;
Because he is a vested interest in the current film market, "Lost in Hong Kong" and "Charlotte's Troubles" occupy most of the resources, that is, the screening rate and the number of screenings.
Although the quality of "Saving Mr. Wu" is good, under the crushing of the two comedy movies, the ending is doomed: the box office will not be much, and it will inevitably lose money!
…
On the morning of the 2nd, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei got up very early; because the launch conference of "Operation Mekong" was at 9:50 in the morning, and the venue was: the CPPCC Auditorium.
At 9 o'clock, when the two arrived at the scene in casual couple outfits, they found that most of the other producers and crew members had already arrived and were greeting each other.
Although there were many reporters, fans and fans outside the auditorium, none of them were allowed in;
The media inside the auditorium were all screened, mainly official media, supplemented by large Internet media. The scale, specifications and treatment were all maxed out!
"Wow, so many people in uniform?"
As soon as Lin Nan met Wang Changtian, Ye Ning, and Yang Shoucheng, he couldn't help but express surprise in a low voice. The uniforms he was talking about were people from the public security system!
At this moment, as a producer, Liu Yifei has also joined Ning Hao, Zhang Hanyu, Zhu Yawen, Li Bingbing, Chen Baoguo, Reba and others. She is also one of the backbone of the crew.
"China Film, Shanghai Film, and Golden Shield haven't arrived yet. From what I heard, it seems like they will come with one of the leaders from the ministry."
Wang Changtian said in a low voice, and then joked: "Today's scene is indeed quite big. It makes you and Lin Nan Pictures no longer look like the main prosecutor. Haha..."
Hearing this, Ye Ning and Yang Shoucheng couldn't help laughing.
"It kind of means that, but the leaders of the ministry take it seriously. Aren't we the ones taking advantage?"
Lin Nan said with a smile, thinking that he would be very relaxed at this morning's launch conference.
At half past nine, La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun, and Director Zhang from Jindun arrived accompanied by the leaders of the department. The nearly 200 people in the auditorium instantly became quite quiet.
"It's a deputy ministerial leader."
Wang Changtian had obviously done his homework and knew the person coming, so he whispered to Lin Nan. Lin Nan only recognized the uniform and epaulettes, not the person.
Not long after, the launch conference of "Operation Mekong" officially began.
Liu Yifei led a group of creatives, followed by Lin Nan, Wang Changtian, La Peikang and other six people, and also sat on the rostrum.
Sitting face to face were guests representatives from many film companies, theater companies, and film studios in the industry, as well as dozens of people in uniforms, and nearly a hundred reporters from major official media and Internet media. The short cannon is spectacular.
At this moment, Lin Nan felt quite emotional that the ministry really valued this movie.
It stands to reason that it is difficult for the host of Yangma to come out to take on private work, because the approval is very strict and time-consuming;
But today’s on-site host is Xiao Sa, the host of CCTV’s rule of law column. He is rigorous, dignified, and has top-notch professional abilities! Well, Jin Dun’s idea came from the Ministry with a shout!
Lin Nan is like a tool man. In addition to explaining and answering the film's shooting plan, and introducing the creative team and shooting team, the rest of the time people from the department are talking;
From the deputy department leader to the head of the department in charge of anti-narcotics cases... they even briefly recounted the previous "Mekong River Case" and were filled with indignation...
To be honest, not only Lin Nan, but also Wang Changtian and others had seen such a quiet movie launch conference for the first time.
Because at first glance, those uniforms and those epaulets are so oppressive, full of oppression!
I believe that today's media reports are all from the same voice. No entertainment reporter or paparazzi in the entertainment industry dares to be "indecent" or "joke"!
At noon, after the film launch press conference, in order not to affect the normal start-up shooting in the afternoon, Lin Nan and all the crew members were directly invited to the Ministry of Public Security - the canteen!
As for the outside world, news about "Operation Mekong" within circles and on the Internet is spreading rapidly.
"In the morning, the film "Operation Mekong" held a launch conference in Beijing. Many leaders of the public security system attended the speech and dozens of official media and mainstream media participated in the report..."
"Co-produced by Lin Nan Pictures, Golden Shield, Enlight, Wanda, Yinghuang, China Film and Shanghai Film; directed by Lin Nan, produced by Liu Yifei, director Ning Hao as chief photographer, Zhang Hanyu, Zhu Yawen, Li Bingbing, Chen Baoguo , Reba and others, the movie "Operation Mekong" will officially start filming this afternoon..."
"The day after the movie "Charlotte" was released, the box office soared by 30 million, with a revenue of 141 million, making great progress..."
"The third part of the "囧" series, "囧", turned around at the box office yesterday, with a daily revenue of 101 million; one week after its release, the total box office officially exceeded 1 billion, with a revenue of 1.095 billion!"
"The combined daily box office of the movies "Charlotte" and "囧" accounted for 94.2% of the total box office yesterday, and many domestic films have become cannon fodder..."
""Rescue Mr. My" grossed 9.22 million at the box office the next day, and the road ahead is difficult..."
…
Lin Nan went to help Liu Yifei get a bowl of soup, and saw many people in uniforms coming and going, looking at the crew members with smiles.
Because it is rare to see outsiders in the cafeteria, let alone movie actors; so when Lin Nan came back with soup, he saw many people taking photos. Liu Yifei, Li Bingbing, and Chen Baoguo were the most popular.
"A few sisters said that they were only supporting roles in the afternoon drill and training ground scenes."
Liu Yifei took a piece of beef with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth, smiling sweetly at Lin Nan.
"Well, the afternoon scene is indeed the biggest scene in the movie. You can see hundreds of uniforms at a glance, as well as special forces and armed police."
Lin Nan placed the tomato and beef brisket soup in front of Miss Liu, and then couldn't help but joke:
"Although the canteen here is very good, compared with the one at China Film Group Corporation, it is still...more diverse!"
"What you said is the same?" Liu Yifei rolled her eyes playfully.
"That's true."
Lin Nan smiled and sat down. After all, China Film Group is different from here. There is a department responsible for reception.
To put it bluntly, when it comes to food, drink, and fun, China Film Academy has more money than here, and it is not as disciplined as here!
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Ministry of Public Security exercise training ground.
Chen Baoguo, who changed into a uniform, was surrounded by a group of young "civil servants" in the public security system, chattering and watching the new things.
This scene can be completely mistaken for the real thing. His temperament is simply amazing. He is very suitable to play a leader!
"Director Lin, all the props and personnel at the exercise site are ready."
"Notify Teacher Chen Baoguo and other personnel here to enter the viewing seats and prepare to start the filming."
Lin Nan instructed his assistant while walking towards the exercise field.
"Okay, Director Lin."
A few minutes later, at the exercise site, what Lin Nan saw were dozens of police cars, armed police transport vehicles, armored vehicles, and dozens of fully armed police, armed forces, and special police.
The more than one-meter-long black sniper rifle looked very handsome in the hands of the special police!
Ning Hao stood there to dispatch seven cameras and adjust the angles, especially the three cameras on the jib.
Miss Liu was the most relaxed. She sat behind the monitor, under the parasol, wearing a hat and chatting with Li Bingbing.
Although the latter had no role today, he still chose to stay in the crew, perhaps to get familiar with the crew.
"Done!"
Ning Hao gestured to Lin Nan.
At this time, behind the huge transparent glass, more than 300 "extras" in uniforms and sitting upright, as well as the serious minister Chen Baoguo sitting in the front, were ready.
And those real guards stood in various positions such as the aisles and stairs like javelins, with an intimidating aura.
Sure enough, real people came to act as extras and acted as themselves at work, which was impeccable!
Looking at the exercise scene again, all kinds of police, criminals, and hostages were in place.
Lin Nan held the megaphone and confirmed with Ning Hao, the stage manager, and the logistics team again and again before he spoke: "All units, get ready, 3, 2, 1, action!"
Sitting in front of the monitor, the sound from the on-site sound equipment can be clearly heard:
"Lightning report: lock the target;
Black Cat report: lock the target;
Second squadron and third squadron, launch an assault immediately..."
For the actors, these things may need to be acted out;
But for the armed police and special police supported by the Golden Shield and the department, this scene is what they have practiced countless times in their daily lives. It is so stable that there is no possibility of NG!
If there is a problem, it is definitely caused by the photographer not keeping up!
And the six assistant photographers coordinated by Ning Hao are also senior photographers and will not have such problems. Therefore, the shooting is extremely smooth and smooth!
On the field, two smoke bombs were fired at the armored vehicle of the hijacked vehicle, one after the other, completely blocking the criminals' sight; then, a group of special police rushed up instantly
The camera on the jib accurately captured the process of breaking into the window, killing the criminals and rescuing the hostages;
At this time, behind the huge French window, a group of leaders and spectators, as if they had agreed, clapped together.
Ning Hao knew very well that a camera was used to take a two-second close-up of some faces in the first row behind Chen Baoguo. These were "leaders" who acted in their true colors!
The minister played by Chen Baoguo sat in the special seat at the front, with a microphone in front of him.
A female police officer in uniform hurriedly ran to the exercise viewing room, and a photographer followed with a camera.
Half a minute later, the on-duty personnel in the exercise viewing room ran to the front in a low-key manner and interrupted the minister who was about to watch the next exercise:
"Minister, there is an emergency, something happened in the Mekong River..."
In the monitor, Lin Nan could clearly see Chen Baoguo's acting skills: his facial movements only changed slightly, but the solemn, serious, and oppressive aura came out instantly!
"Xixi, watch carefully and learn well. Your second trophy will be closer and closer to you!"
After Lin Nan "tease" Liu Yifei, before she could even show her teeth, he picked up the intercom and shouted:
"Click!"
