That year Huayu

Chapter 705 As long as you go, you will definitely...

"Directed by director Ning Hao and supervised by director Lin Nan, the road comedy movie "Heart Blossoms" was released for 23 days, with a total box office revenue of 1.288 billion!"

"It is reported that the daily box office of "Flower Heart" has dropped significantly to more than 4 million, but it is still very likely to cross the 1.3 billion box office threshold!"

"Industry insiders predict that by the time the movie is released, the box office split between the two major producers, Bad Monkey and Lin Nan Pictures, will reach more than 510 million."

"The imported blockbuster "Guardians of the Galaxy" ranked second in the box office list of the mainland film market in October. It has been in theaters for 12 days and has a box office of more than 500 million."

…

Entering the second half of the year, a series of movie information has been compiled one after another.

Except for the top two in the box office list, other films, especially domestic films, have all become backgrounds and cannon fodder, unable to make any box office splash.

"Take Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", "Ip Man 3", "The Breakup Master", "Heart Blossom"!

Lin Nan Pictures' film record this year was once again put on the table by many film and television companies in the industry a few months before the end of the year, and they were extremely jealous!

This does not include Lin Nan Pictures’ revenue from TV series, variety shows, artist management, etc.

In addition, Tiangong Color is also a chicken that continues to produce golden eggs at a high rate, siphoning nearly half of the special effects business in the domestic film industry.

In the morning, Ning Hao called in a hurry.

He was already preparing for the celebration banquet, which was scheduled for the last day of the month, and he was quite impatient.

But think about it, as soon as the box office data of 1.28 billion came out this morning, Director Ning's identity and status in the industry will be different!

He officially surpassed Zhou Xingchi and Xu Zheng and became the second-ranked director on the Chinese film box office list, second only to Lin Nan!

"Director Lin, China Film Group is asking if we should recommend actors to come over?"

This question was a bit abrupt, and Lin Nan took a few seconds to respond.

"Did you take the initiative to ask? Is this considered as compensation for 'daunting' me? Haha..."

Lin Nan smiled and shook his head, and then ordered: "If you reply to China Film, all of our people have schedule conflicts and have made other arrangements."

"Okay, Director Lin."

Lin Nan had read the script of "The Great Wall", and the supporting roles were hard to describe, so let's forget it.

Since you have already rejected the director's position, it's best not to have any further relations.

…

Two major Hollywood giants, Legendary and Universal, are responsible for the production, with the policy protection of China Film and Television, directed by Zhang Yimou, a US$150 million magical blockbuster, top-notch 3D special effects, and global distribution and release...

These dazzling auras are alluring actors, stars and entertainment capital in the Chinese film and television industry.

The protagonist team needs Hollywood big names and top domestic first-line actors. It is indeed difficult for the industry to make decisions about the selection of these roles, but the same cannot be said for other supporting roles.

Countless film and television companies and entertainment capital in the industry are now trying every means to get their own people in - "gold-plated"!

Someone even approached Lin Nan and asked him to help recommend actors.

Because everyone knows that he is close to China Film Group Corporation. The most important thing is that there is no airtight wall in the industry. Some people can still find out about his exposure to "The Great Wall".

…

Facts have proved that becoming a director across industries is indeed risky, and not everyone can do it.

Although Ning Hao, Jiang Wen and others attended the premiere of Cui Jian's "Blue Bones" to help promote the show, the results were not good.

Now that it has been released for 5 days, the total box office is less than 3 million. It has been abandoned by theaters, and the film schedule rate has been directly cut to less than 1%.

This rock star who entered the film industry failed in his first battle and fell into disgrace!

When Lin Nan drove back to Nortel, he saw a row of "Blue Bones" posters on the publicity board, but they were being cleaned...

I received a call from Lao Jiang at noon. The other person was hesitant and didn't explain clearly what was going on. He just asked him to come to the school for a walk and have a chat when he was free.

What's there to talk about that can't be done on the phone?

However, Lin Nan really needed to rest and relax while supplementing the script, so he stopped by in the afternoon.

"The first class should be almost over, right?"

When Lin Nan passed by the rehearsal hall, he couldn't help but muttered.

Through an entire transparent glass wall, you can see the female students wearing tight-fitting training uniforms. All of them have graceful figures and long legs!

Nowadays, the art examinations in the three major universities are paying more and more attention to appearance.

As long as it is a major related to performance, a beautiful face and figure are the indispensable foundation. Even in higher vocational colleges, the best will be selected!

Of course, the threshold for those second and third generations is much lower.

The result of being caught was that Lin Nan was affecting others in class. He nodded to the female teacher in front of him and walked away quickly.

Along the way, there were various greetings and greetings. Lin Nan soon came to the directing department, where it was much cleaner.

"Huh? Why are you alone today? Where are the others?"

Lin Nan looked at the empty office and asked Lao Jiang. The latter was turning on the computer and watching a movie.

"Those who are in class are in class, and those who are in meetings are in meetings. Oh, by the way, Director Tian has gone to the set. That movie "Yang Guifei" is a complete mess. He is ready to quit, just put his name on it."

Lin Nan remembered that it was Fan Bingbing's "Yang Guifei". They had been filming it intermittently for two or three years, right? There are so many moths!

As soon as he sat there, Lin Nan was not polite and crossed his legs directly, "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I was hesitant on the phone. I will go to the Literature Department to see Sister Xue later."

Seeing Lin Nan being so direct, Lao Jiang became a little coy.

After a while, he said with a bang:

"What kind of nonsense is this! I agreed in advance that I would not accept this job, but Director Tian always rejected me directly. But you know, who calls me a 'low-status junior'? They directly suppress me. Give it to me, I can only..."

"I said, can you please be more straightforward and stop beating around the bush?"

Lin Nan smiled silently. Seeing Lao Jiang's mother-in-law look made him feel uncomfortable and gave him goosebumps.

"Okay, but make sure you agree in advance. Don't look down on me after I tell you. I'll be put on the shelf too."

At this moment, Lin Nan realized that there was something really wrong with Lao Jiang.

"Say it."

"Let me give you a message over there. After the Spring Festival... the Golden Rooster Club will start to sign up... it will end at the end of May. You... go and sign up."

Lao Jiang looked at Lin Nan with envy in his eyes and stammered.

He was very aware of the conflict between Lin Nan and the old guys in the association. The old guys in the association were not human beings. They always relied on their seniority, age and right to speak to beat the younger ones and teach them "rules".

The better you are, the more they have to beat and teach you "rules"!

Okay this time, can your rules be bigger than the "rules" above? You have to give in to Lin Nan!

The most important thing is that some people are really stupid in their operations. Some time ago, they were thinking of "moral kidnapping" so that they could control Lin Nan, but they failed.

Lin Nan heard it clearly - he heard a joke!

“I don’t lack the Golden Rooster Award, and I won’t sign up, so let them save the money.

Maybe after the new year, I will come back holding a Golden Ball or an Oscar trophy, and ask the school to prepare a banner for me, haha..."

Lin Nan refused outright at first, and then changed the subject with a smile. It was not difficult for Lao Jiang.

He had stopped liking Golden Rooster a long time ago, but those people were really disgusting and an eyesore.

"Are you sure you understand what I mean? As long as you go, you will definitely..."

"Teacher Jiang, you are only responsible for delivering messages, right?" Lin Nan interrupted.

"Ah? Well, let's send a message." Lao Jiang nodded subconsciously.

"Then let me say it again: I am not short of golden roosters, and I will not sign up. Don't bother me anymore. Just leave it as it is and convey it to me."

Seeing Lin Nan's serious face, Lao Jiang knew that he was serious.

"Oh, okay. You have such a temper and confidence. Director Tian really understands you. If it were me or other people in the school, I would really just... forget it."

As Lao Jiang spoke, he started to laugh at himself a little.

"Is there nothing else?" Lin Nan put down his legs.

"No, I will convey it."

After chattering for another five minutes, Lin Nan left the director department's office.

Lao Jiang stood at the door, looking at the figures walking towards the literature department, and whispered softly:

"You are still too young and take it for granted. The nature of "Taking Tiger Mountain Outsmarted" is different. This is no longer your business alone..."

…………

Xue Xiaolu and Cao Baoping are the same. Their main job is as a professor at Nortel, and their side job is as a director.

The former has even more teaching work than the latter.

This results in the creation speed and efficiency of scripts being very slow.

Like the original "Love in Seattle", the second script Lin Nan saw was only part of it, with only one-third completed.

In terms of depth, Xue Xiaolu's script is indeed not as good as Cao Baoping's, but in terms of commercial attributes, Xue Xiaolu's is still slightly better!

"I heard Professor Cao said that he will still look to you for his next film?"

"Don't worry, Sister Xue, your budget won't be reduced because of this, haha."

Lin Nan closed the script and joked.

"Of course I'm not worried, you are a wealthy person."

"When will the script be finalized?"

This is something Lin Nan is more concerned about.

I saw Xue Xiaolu frowning slightly, thinking about it, and finally gave an answer:

"After the Spring Festival. There will be fewer courses in the first half of next year, and it will be just in time to start the project."

"It's Spring Festival again..."

"What?"

"It's nothing. I said I'm very busy this Spring Festival, and I'll be busy next year too!"

The news of Lin Nan's return to school spread in Nortel.

When department leaders from several major departments came to the Literature Department and prepared to "lobby" Lin Nan about starting classes, they came to nothing.

The latter was already sitting in the car and ready to leave.

"What did you say, say it again?"

"Director Lin, I said that the company received an invitation to the cocktail party, and it was from Yang Mi. Their company seems to be soliciting investment.

But it doesn’t feel like it’s just soliciting investment? But to say that you are rushing to go public is a bit fanciful, right? "

…………

On the 23rd, the Sino-Japanese co-production film "Five Minutes to Midnight", which was widely promoted by Tang Dynasty, was released.

It's just that no matter how high-profile the promotion was and how loud the slogans were before the release, it would be a slap in the face after the box office came out on the first day.

Liu Shishi, the first sister of the Tang Dynasty and one of the four Xiaohuadan, is indeed not suitable for the film industry.

The feeling given to the industry is that her "massive fans" are all fake, right? Are they all zombie fans?

As an absolute heroine who plays two roles in one person, the box office on the first day was only 2.67 million? This is completely unworthy of the title of "Four Little Flowers"!

Even if you just rely on the support of fans, you won't only have this little box office?

As soon as this result came out, Liu Shishi, who occupied the title of "Four Little Flower Girls", instantly became the target of ridicule on the Internet, and black manuscripts were everywhere.

And looking at this appearance and scale, there are still many competitors and companies in the industry working hard at the same time. Among them, there are many second-tier people who are behind her and want to take her place!

"No one will ask her to act in movies in the future. If this is not a box office poison, then what is a box office poison? Which of the movies she has participated in has not been a waste of money? Didn't she even screw up the lighting once? , that was when she first became popular with "Bu Bu Jing Xin", haha..."

Lin Nan said jokingly. People in Tang Dynasty must have recognized the reality, right?

Opposite Wang Changtian looked a bit unhappy. "Sad Fairy Tale" is the movie with the worst lighting, bar none!

"If Cai Yinong were to be praised by another actress now, it would probably be too late!"

Lao Wang complained angrily. In his opinion, Liu Shishi is not as good as his own Liu Yan.

"So what if I change someone? I don't have the resources."

Lin Nan was invited here by Wang Changtian today purely to celebrate his success.

"Running Man" has been broadcast for two episodes. The ratings of the second episode were the first in the country at the same time, soaring to 8.03, which was a mess!

Tomorrow's third issue is even more anticipated and discussed by viewers across the Internet. The data on Tudou’s side is also outrageously gorgeous.

"China Film Group was auditioning, and I sent all the company's artists, but they were all rejected."

Lin Nan instantly became energetic after hearing Lao Wang's words.

Good guy, quite ambitious. With just a few artists like Guangguang, how could they want them? Firstly, he is not a big-name actor, and secondly, he is not a popular star, which is quite a beautiful idea!

"It will only be normal after brushing it down, haha..."

"You didn't help the artists in your company and the people around you?" Lao Wang had a sly look in his eyes.

Lin Nan sighed, knowing that Wang Changtian had more than one thing. He pointed out: "The water in "The Great Wall" is a bit muddy, and the burden is too heavy for me to carry."

"So, what was rumored before is true?"

"Whether it's true or not, is there any point?"

"understood."

The audition selection for "The Great Wall" has reached a fever pitch.

A large number of media reporters and vehicles gathered outside China Film Studio, and various related information was reported online every day.

Actors from Mainland China and Hong Kong Island were captured by the camera as they entered and exited China Film Studio. It was wonderful.

…

Counting the days, Liu Yifei's "Interstellar" promotional tour is coming to an end soon, and she can return to China early.

Lin Nan also made a special call to confirm her flight to ensure that she would not miss it.

At the same time, Jiaxing is also very lively.

"Why did you invite Lin Nan Pictures on your own initiative without consulting me?"

Zeng Jia tried hard to control his emotions, half asking, half interrogating.

Yang Mi has been very tired recently and has a lot of announcements; she has to laugh and drink with her at cocktail parties, and occasionally she is taken advantage of.

But when she heard Zeng Jia's question, she immediately became more energetic:

"Because I think Lin Nan Pictures is one of the best investors. It is better than the ones we have met. So I added Director Lin's company to the invitation list for the cocktail party, and personally contacted Director Yue Jun. I received a phone invitation.”

This answer left Zeng Jia speechless and unable to refute.

"You think others are the best, but have you ever thought about whether others think highly of us?"

Although he asked this rhetorically, Zeng Jia hoped in her heart that Lin Nan Pictures would look down on Jiaxing, otherwise it would be very troublesome!

This question really irritated Yang Mi.

What is Jiaxing? Specifically, Jiaxing's main business is artist management, and its production business has just started.

Even if you invest in filming a TV series, you need to hire a full shooting team including a director, because you simply can’t afford it.

And what about Lin Nan Pictures? It has its own complete set of production and shooting teams, as well as complete production capabilities.

Yes, what if Lin Nan Pictures doesn’t like it?

"Then we have to give it a try. How can we jump to conclusions so easily?"

Yang Mi said firmly, unwilling to give up.

Zeng Jia opened her mouth and did not "contact" again. After all, Yang Mi is the backbone of the company!

"Okay, I hope you get your wish!"

…………

At the beginning of July, "Xiuchundao 2 Shura Battlefield" was officially completed, and it has been almost 4 months since then.

The post-production and some special effects shots of this film were finally completed thanks to the slow and meticulous work of Lu Yang and Tiangong Color!

Lin Nan was immediately called by Lu Yang to go to the company.

"Director Lin, come and see the finished film. It's definitely better than the first one."

As soon as he entered Tiangong Color, Lu Yang urged eagerly. Zhang Yi is also nearby, and Lei Jiayin seems to be on the set and has not returned.

"Director Lin, sit down quickly."

Guo Ban gave up his position. He has been staying in the screenwriting department recently, participating in "Get Out!" An adaptation of "Tumor King".

"let's start."

Inside members of Lin Nan Pictures gave a sneak peek of the two-hour film.

…

"Let me go, who is this girl? She's good with knives."

"Xin Zhilei, the one I chose is not famous."

"Oh, Zhang Yi's 'slave-like' face looks so similar! Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"Director Lin, Shu Chang's acting skills are indeed good. Although they are not from a professional school, the actual acting skills of each crew can easily beat the actors of the same age in majors!"

…

I have to say that Lu Yang does have his own characteristics in martial arts movies, which is great.

The graphics of "Xiuchundao 2 Shura Battlefield" are much more beautiful and natural than the first one.

"Now that it's done, can it be sent for review?" Guo Fan couldn't help but ask.

"When are you planning to release it next year? But you must choose a good time. This is my first costumed martial arts film! The same goes for Lei Jiayin."

Zhang Yi smacked his lips and was a little excited.

Lin Nan didn't answer, but looked at Lu Yang with a smile.

The latter said with a joking smile on his face, "There is no rush to submit "Xiu Chun Knife 2" for review. It will be kept secret for now. As for when it will be released? We can't decide this."

Lu Yang's last words left Guo Fan and Zhang Yi stunned.

Director Lin is here, and you, the director, are also here. Why can't you decide on the schedule?

"We can't decide the release date, so who can?" Zhang Yi asked weakly.

"Hahaha... Director Chen Kaige can decide!"

Lu Yang couldn't help it anymore and laughed loudly.

"He is waiting for "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain"..."

Lin Nan chuckled and explained.

…

When Zhang Yi was called to the company, Lin Nan simply reminded him face to face, "Don't take on any dramas during the period before and after."

"Director Lin, are you going to start a new play? Do you want me to participate in it?"

The latter reacted quickly and asked immediately.

"I'm about to start a new play, but there is no role suitable for you. Director Cao Baoping said that there is a role in the new script that is suitable for you.

It is also an investment by our company. The script has not been written yet, so it will only take a month. As for the boot time, it will almost be after the year. "

Zhang Yi was equally happy when he heard this. Because he has collaborated on "Li Mi's Conjecture", he knows Cao Baoping's ability, he is very strong!

"No problem. During this period, I won't take any roles. I will just wait for Director Cao."

…………

The first sister of the Tang Dynasty has become a big joke in the mainland film and television circles.

"Five Minutes to Midnight" still had a box office of 2.67 million on the first day, but it was cut in half to 1.47 million on the second day!

All those "little lions" and lions on the Internet who are extremely powerful in fighting are silent, and I don't know where they went?

Will the previously agreed-upon Sino-Japanese co-production film go to the international stage? Aren't you leaving either?

At early ten o'clock in the morning, while Lin Nan was driving to the airport, he was really amused by the entertainment news on the car radio.

The box office results of the films of Yang Mi, Yang Ying, Ni Na and others were compared one by one. Good guy, they all beat Liu Shishi!

The media went to interview Tanghe and Yijie's manager, but they were all turned away and hung up on immediately. They just kept silent and hid!

Sitting in the cab, Lin Nan did not get out of the car.

But his license plate is remembered by entertainment reporters.

"Is it Director Lin's car?"

"You didn't get out of the car. Are you waiting for someone?"

"How long has Liu Yifei been abroad?"

"Calculate the time, it's 20 days, right? In that case, Director Lin is here to pick up the plane today!"

"High probability, no, he's here to pick you up at the airport!"

…

A group of entertainment reporters are getting more and more excited. Today is really a good day, there are many big names.

Liu Dehua just left the airport, but he didn't expect Liu Yifei to come back this morning too!

Near 11:30, Lin Nan's cell phone vibrated. The word "Sissi" came into view.

He answered immediately and got out of the car.

"Sissi, are you out? I didn't see you?"

Lin Nan asked, looking in the direction of the airport exit. The reporters looked at Director Lin who was looking around and hurriedly turned their cameras.

"I'm still inside and walking towards the exit. This time I have a companion on the way back. Guess who it is? If you guess it, there will be a reward! Hee hee..."

Liu Yifei's cheerful voice came out from the phone, with a bit of playfulness, but there was indeed a bit of noise on the side.

"How could I have guessed this? Since I came back with you, won't we know it when we meet later?"

Lin Nan said with a smile and walked straight to the exit.

Reporters from the distant media gradually gathered around and stood in the distance. They knew Lin Nan's character and were all old acquaintances.

five minutes later.

Liu Yifei, wearing casual jeans and a windbreaker with her face covered in black and long hair, appeared at the exit of the passage.

Several assistants and bodyguards followed, pushing luggage or blocking passers-by.

The moment she saw Lin Nan, a smile broke out on her face and she trotted over.

The two hugged each other, they hadn't seen each other for twenty days, and they still missed each other.

"Lin Nan..." Miss Liu rubbed her cheek gently.

"Well, get ready to go home."

Lin Nan let go of Liu Yifei. As soon as he said these words, he heard another familiar voice coming from the exit passage.

"Lin, long time no see."
