That year Huayu

"Let me tell you, we are planning to release "The Breakup Master" in the summer season at the end of June."

After receiving a call from Wang Changtian, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing: "What a coincidence."

"What a coincidence?"

"Half an hour ago, Ying Huang and I just had a phone call. "Ip Man 3" will also be scheduled to be released in the summer season, which will be June 27."

At this moment, Lin Nan clearly felt that his left hand was about to fight with his right hand.

It's just that he owns 60% of the share and copyright of "Ip Man 3", but only 50% of the investment in "The Breakup Master".

Hearing this, Wang Changtian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"It's really unlucky! But let's just say that, the summer schedule is so big that it can fully allow these two movies to compete in the same schedule without affecting each other."

"That's right. After all, one is a comedy and the other is an action movie."

"Are you ready to go?" Suddenly, Wang Changtian changed the subject and asked.

"The flight tickets have been booked and we will leave in two days."

"Well, then I wish you and Yifei a successful trip to Hollywood to win the award.

We are all looking forward to it, looking forward to you becoming the first mainland Chinese to win an Oscar for Best Director! "

"Haha, thank you Wang Dong Jiyan. Do your best and obey fate."

Lin Nan thanked her sincerely, but who could say for sure about winning an award?

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan was too lazy to continue working on the script.

He was attracted by today's movie information. The media and industry are talking about "The Return".

Sure enough, literary films by top directors never have to worry about making money, and there is never a shortage of generous buyers.

And there is no need to go to the film festival to trade, the other party will find it himself.

No, this is what Zhang Yimou's "Return" is like.

The movie had just been cut, and the overseas distribution rights in many regions, including North America, were bought by Sony at a high price.

Everyone in the film industry laments that the combination of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li is indeed influential in the international film industry!

"The artistic films these two collaborated on are indeed famous."

Lin Nan also agrees with the insiders’ views. At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Director Lin, "The Invisible Guest" has passed the review." Yue Jun walked in, dressed formally.

"Then choose a schedule and report it back to China Film Group." Lin Nan said casually.

"I think it's better to wait until early next month, after the Oscars, to decide on a schedule."

"Huh? That's okay. I hope you can come back with good news this time."

"must."

Yue Jun nodded, looking confident. On the two o'clock flight in the afternoon, he will take people to South Korea.

We have already made an appointment with them to discuss the copyright issue of "Running Man".

…

Huayi is holding a press conference again.

The theme of this movie is a bit "high-end", and it is claimed to be the first movie in the Chinese film industry to focus on anti-trafficking - "Orphans"!

The protagonist is a rare actor, Andy Lau, who is also the first to challenge the role of a rural father in the Mainland.

For Liu Dehua, who wants to be a good actor, achieve a breakthrough and prove himself, the temptation of this kind of script is fatal.

I heard that when the crew communicated with him, it could be described as "effortless".

However, what was originally a good press conference was blocked by the media.

The reporter pointed to the words "The first film focuses on anti-trafficking..." on the banner at the press conference and asked the producer Wang Zhonglei:

"...What do you think of "Blind Mountain" directed by Li Yang and "Dear" directed by Chen Kexin, which has not yet been released?"

Good guy, the press conference turned into a slap in the face scene, the publicity was over the top!

…

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei had already begun to pack their luggage piecemeal.

There are less than ten days left before the Oscars, so they both have to leave early.

"The people from "Interstellar" informed me that they need to record dubbing, and this time we can do it together."

Liu Yifei came down from upstairs and looked at Lin Nan in the living room and said.

"That's good. It saves you an extra trip."

Lin Nan responded without raising his head. He was reading the message from Wang Baoqiang.

"What are you doing, so distracted?"

Liu Yifei walked up and saw the chat interface.

Realizing that it might be something serious, she immediately picked up the black cat on the carpet, sat on the sofa, and played a little game by herself.

Lin Nan looked at the messages on his phone and was speechless for a moment.

How should I put it, he admired Wang Baoqiang very much.

Although the latter came from the countryside, his vision and "wisdom" are no worse than those of others.

"Huang Bo really guessed wrong this time."

Lin Nan muttered in his heart, and his phone vibrated.

He shook the phone in his hand towards Liu Yifei and said, "I'm going to the garden."

"Um."

As soon as the call was connected, Wang Baoqiang's voice came over there.

"Hello, Director Lin."

"Hey, you've also fallen apart..."

After hearing Lin Nan's words, Wang Baoqiang paused for a moment before reacting, "Brother Bo too?"

"Well, that's right. You two have really managed to 'advance and retreat together'." Lin Nan joked.

Wang Baoqiang, like Huang Bo, when Xu Zheng was communicating with him about "囧", he asked for investment or zero remuneration in exchange for a share of the box office split.

The obvious result was rejection.

Wang Baoqiang was a little better, and he didn't get harsh words from him, but he also couldn't agree on his salary.

At this point, Xu Zheng is indeed a bit cruel. He actually wants to sign Wang Baoqiang with his salary from "囧囧". How is this possible?

Wang Baoqiang is open-minded and has no negative emotions:

"As for the filming appointment, it's already like this in Chengdu. Since Xu Zheng said that "囧" will find another actor, then I don't think about it.

I only acted in the first two parts, but suddenly I was absent from the third part. I thought I still need to tell you, Director Lin, that's all..."

Listening to Wang Baoqiang's words, Lin Nan still felt a little bit. He was indeed a good character.

"Then I won't disturb Director Lin. I wish you success in winning the Oscar early next month."

"Thanks."

Looking at the hung up phone in his hand, Lin Nan sighed with emotion, this Xu Zheng is really good enough!

…

"Ip Man 3", "The Breakup Master", "Tiny Times 3".

Three movies in a row were announced to be entering the summer season at the same time, causing the atmosphere in the entire film industry to become agitated instantly.

Everyone can fully predict how lively this summer season will be.

At the same time, February has also entered its fourth week, and the total box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" successfully exceeded 1.5 billion, with a revenue of 1.503 billion. But at this time, the daily box office had dropped by 30 million.

Everyone in the industry can see that the box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" cannot reach 2 billion this month. It depends on the revenue in March!

The script of "Flower Thousand Bones" has been sent to the General Administration for half a month, and there is no news yet.

Jiang Yuerou also gave a special explanation to Lin Nan:

"The review time for TV drama scripts, especially those with mythological themes, is a little longer. It is estimated that we will have to wait until March."

Lin Nan nodded and said nothing.

He is still struggling with one thing at the moment, that is, should he prepare for "Manchester by the Sea" immediately after the Oscars, or should he wait?

Lin Nan raised his head and looked at Jiang Yanrou:

"Director Jiang, if the script passes the review, you can start planning the project, casting, and auditioning. I estimate that by then, I will most likely not be in the country."

"Okay, Director Lin."

…

A magical movie "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demons" with an investment of 200 million and starring Chen Kun and Li Bingbing held a grand opening ceremony in Beijing.

The movie industry is booming, and producers are clamoring to compete with the special effects of top Hollywood blockbusters.

I heard from Ye Ning that due to their own business advantages, Guangwang and Wanda also received a small amount of investment and became joint producers.

Lin Nan didn't want to hurt his allies, but he had never heard of any Hollywood blockbuster with special effects that could be produced with an investment of 200 million yuan.

Looking at the history of domestic films, eight out of ten films that used Hollywood special effects as publicity stunts died, and two were half-dead!

He could only wish Guang Guang and Wanda good luck.

Time comes on the 23rd.

Hollywood has completely entered the Oscar atmosphere, and the popularity and grandeur are no less than those of the three major European film festivals.

Domestic media are reprinting and reporting on it, and even state-run media such as the Movie Channel have sent reporters there, because this year is really different.

In addition to Hong Kong's "The Grandmaster" being nominated, more importantly, Lin Nan, a mainland director, was shortlisted for four awards.

In the morning, three SUVs were parked in front of the villa.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's luggage was piled neatly in the trunk.

This time, the two of them won't be able to come back for a while.

Miss Liu leaned on Lin Nan and dozed off, while Liu Xiaoli scolded her.

"The alarm clock can't wake you up, can it? I'm the one who wakes you up now. When you have children in the future, will your children wake you up? Day by day..."

Listening to her mother's "nagging", Liu Yifei fluttered her heavy eyelids and showed a flattering smile.

"Mom, you really have a good idea. You can definitely try it in the future, hehe..."

Good guy, Lin Nan couldn't help but give a thumbs up, classmate Liu Qianqian really dares to think!

"I'll let you try."

When Liu Xiaoli spoke, she would pinch her daughter's ears.

"Yeah, Lin Nan, save me..."

"Auntie, we're leaving."

Lin Nan stood half in front of Liu Yifei and said with a smile. He is also very weak, the person in front of him is his mother-in-law...

Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at the smiling Liu Yifei and stopped.

"When you arrive, remember to send a text message to report that you are safe."

"I know, Mom."

…

At around nine o'clock in the morning, three cars set off from the villa area and drove towards the Capital Airport.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei each brought two assistants and several other people with them on this trip. They had gone there two days in advance to make preparations.

Outside the airport, when the media reporters saw Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, they were extremely excited.

Because you don't have to guess where they are going and what they are going to do - Hollywood, Oscars.

They did not accept interviews. The two just smiled and waved at reporters. Then they held hands and entered the waiting hall.

But from a distance, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei could still hear their blessings:

"Director Lin, Yifei, wish Oscar good luck..."

…

Today's second chapter will most likely go into the early morning.
