That year Huayu

Lin Nan also didn't expect that with the strong release of "Interstellar" in the domestic film market and its explosive reputation, Director Chen Da would also benefit?

Because there are many posts from filmmakers and industry insiders on the Internet:

"It's time to calm down and watch "The Promise" again. Director Chen Kaige's magical masterpiece only lost in terms of time. It is no worse than "Interstellar"!"

"If you taste it carefully, you will find that "The Promise" and today's "Interstellar" have many similarities in nature. Under the cloak of magic and science fiction, it tells the most 'real' things about human nature, such as time, life, and class. Everything will pass away, and the destiny of the 'human' race is to learn to face death and destruction."

"I remember that after a lot of bad reviews, director Chen Kaige said feebly: "The Promise" was filmed for future audiences. But no one in the media or the audience at the time cared about this sentence. Everyone only focused on watching a film that had already been filmed. A joke from the master film director of "Farewell My Concubine"..."

…

To be honest, when Lin Nan saw this movie information, he was completely confused. He couldn't help but sigh at the exquisiteness of language art.

Even Chen Hong stood up, liked and supported these posts. It seems that these words really speak to Director Chen’s heart!

"Master film director? Well, it's just a little bit short. As long as he makes another film of the same level or even slightly inferior, then he will really become a master director. It's a pity...

I'm a little doubtful whether Director Chen has bought a navy? Haha..." Lin Nan smiled to himself, but this was unlikely.

Because Chen Kaige's biggest shortcoming is "having a high self-esteem" is also his advantage. That "pride" makes him disdain to hire a navy!

"If you think about it this way, it means that these people are just trying to flatter themselves?"

The more Lin Nan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. This circle is still so interesting.

He didn't take a closer look at the netizens' ridicule because Jiang Yuerou came in with someone.

This time, the cooperation between Lin Nan Pictures and Noon Sunshine is extremely fast. The two parties just reached an agreement the day before yesterday, and the contract was finalized today.

"Director Lin, it has been confirmed over there and there is no objection to the content of the agreement. The script has been submitted for review and we plan to start casting at the end of this month or the beginning of next month."

Looking at the contract he just signed, Lin Nan nodded.

"Then prepare the funds. You have worked hard on this project. I originally wanted you to produce Guo Fan's new movie."

"Are they all the same? TV dramas are more relaxed." Jiang Yanrou responded with a smile.

After Lin Nan handed over the signed form to the people in the financial department, Jiang Yuerou and Jiang Yuerou left the office together.

At around ten o'clock, Lin Nan finally completed the script of "Detective Chinatown". After throwing it into the safe, he stood up and prepared to leave the company.

I agreed to shoot promotional videos and posters for the school, and it would be better to do it sooner rather than later, just in the morning, so as not to be too busy and have no time.

By the way, let’s review the food in the cafeteria again, because Liu Yifei must have eaten out with Shu Chang at noon and would not go back.

…………

Outside the Capital Airport, a motorcade is quite conspicuous. It attracted the attention of a large number of reporters, and many passers-by also stopped or slowed down.

When a group of foreigners and domestic bodyguards took the lead in "warning", entertainment reporters knew that they must have material again.

Sure enough, I saw familiar faces getting out of the car.

"Zhang Yimou, Matt Damon, Jing Tian, ​​Liu Dehua, Willem Dafoe, Pedro Pascal, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Wang Junkai..."

"Is this the crew of "The Great Wall"? There are also executives from Legend and Warner...people from China Film Group came to see them off."

"Looks like he's about to leave for Hollywood! It's awards season there, so maybe he will show up by then, right?"

"Not to mention, Director Zhang Yimou has used both the male and female protagonists this time, Director Lin Nan! There are also Liu Dehua and Zhang Hanyu."

…

The dedicated security team kept the media at bay.

But a group of people did not give indifferent expressions. Instead, they smiled and waved hello to reporters, but did not answer questions.

Matt Damon is the most famous among a group of actors, a Hollywood A-lister and a Venice Best Actor.

As we all know, after this crew training, Matt Damon will most likely have to go out frequently because of Lin Nan's "Manchester by the Sea".

Although the shortlists for the three film awards have not been announced, the Berlin International Film Festival is destined to enter the main competition section. Nominations for Oscars and Golden Globes, it’s not a big deal if you think about it!

"Matt, are you sending a message to Director Lin?" Liu Dehua accidentally saw Matt Damon's mobile phone interface.

"Well, tell him and Crystal that I'm going back to Hollywood. But we'll meet again next month, so we can all get together again then."

In the VIP lounge, Matt Damon's words attracted the attention of many people around him, especially those artists who came in to gild the room.

"He has to go there next month at the latest. The Golden Globe is about to announce its nomination list, and so is Berlin. The Oscars also need public relations..."

Zhang Yimou suddenly interjected that he had learned the accurate news a few days ago. Before him, the first person "The Great Wall" contacted was Lin Nan!

This made him feel a little emotional about Lin Nan's courage. It's good to be young and don't care about money. And he picked up something that he had not paid attention to in the past ten or twenty years!

Beside him, Jing Tian's big black eyes were shining, "Matt, I wish your movie can win a big award."

Matt Damon was stunned for a moment and laughed out loud, "Thank you, Jing... Tian."

He called out Jing Tian's name in broken Chinese.

…………

In the past, I always manipulated others on the set, and I rarely had to be directed by others.

It's very interesting that two great directors met unexpectedly at Nortel, and they both came for the same thing.

"What's this called? It's like being poor in the busy city and no one cares about you, and being rich in the mountains with distant relatives! Why didn't you call me before, but you think of me this year?"

Ning Hao sat there with his hands in his sleeves, rolling his eyes and complaining to Lin Nan, with a disdainful expression as if the school was doing things badly.

Lin Nan nodded in cooperation from time to time, but his eyes were looking at the entertainment information on his mobile phone.

The day after "Interstellar" was released, its influence was already huge. And when Liu Yifei and Shu Chang went out for shopping, they were just living targets.

At the moment, Weibo is full of their whereabouts, and the two of them are not shy about eating and drinking when they should, from dessert shops to coffee shops, from pet shops to movie theaters... Anyway, the photos they take are all beautiful. Beautiful and bright!

"Ning Hao, do you have such a big resentment?" Lao Jiang said jokingly, stroking the camera.

"Of course there is. Hey, your angle is not good. Light it closer... I am a director from the photography department. You must listen to me..."

A promotional video was shot at just past 12 o'clock. During this period, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Wang Jinsong and others even came to have a look.

When Lin Nan and Ning Hao finished their work, they heard Lao Jiang mention that many famous alumni had been invited back this time, including the fifth generation Chen Kaige and Gu Changwei.

"Is the school really running for 'half of the country'? Haha..."

In the afternoon, entertainment headlines on the Internet continued to change, attracting the attention of many people in the industry.

"The crew of the Sino-US co-production blockbuster "The Great Wall" left for Hollywood today... The creative team appeared at the airport, and there were many security personnel!"

"The film "The Taoist Descending the Mountain" directed by Chen Kaige has completed post-production and is officially submitted for review. Producer Chen Hong said that the film intends to be released in the summer."

"Tangren held a high-profile press conference and held a replacement signing ceremony for actors Jin Chen, Han Dongjun, Hu Bingqing, Chen Yao and others..."

"Following "Nirvana in Fire", Noon Sunshine and Lin Nan Pictures jointly produced the second TV series. The specific situation is unknown and needs to be further understood."

…

Although Noon Sunshine said that casting would start at the end of the month or early next month, some established candidates were contacted in advance.

Tang people.

Cai Yinong looked at the invitation handed over by his secretary, with a subconscious expression of joy on his face.

Even if she was unwilling to admit it, she still had to face the fact that the Tang people "could not afford" Hu Ge.

"Lao Hu said before that Producer Hou had a very good impression of him and promised to work together again if there was an opportunity, but he didn't expect it would be so soon. Moreover, it is still a drama jointly produced with Lin Nan Pictures. Just press What he means is, reply over there, no problem.”

"Okay, Mr. Cai."

Cai Yinong is not worried about Hu Ge.

The current focus of Tang Dynasty is the TV series with Sohu. This drama will be used to praise the three newly signed artists, and it is also a meeting gift for poaching Jin Chen.

"The filming will start next month. Let them prepare more and strive to become famous in one go. The theme of this drama is very good!"

Cai Yinong is still very confident in his own vision.

…………

The box office revenue on the first day was 110 million;

The single-day box office on the second and third days continued to earn 120 million;

The daily box office dropped to 100 million on the fourth day;

It wasn't until the fifth day that the daily income finally fell to eight figures, with a closing price of around 92 million!

At this time, "Interstellar" has been released for 5 days, with a total box office of 542 million in the first weekend!

This figure makes the mainland film industry a little nervous.

Especially for the films "Interstellar", such as "A Coquettish Woman Has the Best Life" and "The Taiping Wheel (Part 1)", the pressure is huge!

Liu Yifei has been really happy these past few days, happily "ordering" Lin Nan every day, day and night!

"Are you going to this premiere?"

Miss Liu asked Lin Nan with the invitation letter from "Women who act like a spoiled child are the best."

Logically speaking, Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming's movie should be given face, but this movie was produced by Huayi.

Lin Nan thought for a while and still refused. If you really go and support the show, you will probably see all kinds of messy artists and scenes, which is terrible.

"Forget it, let's go to the theater and give them two movie tickets."

"Okay, Brother Xun also said that she would act in this movie. She has broken through the screen image. What a little woman, how to act coquettishly to please, pretend to be innocent..." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

Lin Nan was also happy. It was like a "female brother" telling you that she can actually be very "girly".

Suddenly, Lin Nan remembered another serious matter: "Sissi, are you going to Hollywood with me next month?"

Hearing this question, Liu Yifei tilted her head and thought about it, then smiled sweetly at Lin Nan:

"Why don't I go? You won't be able to stay there for a few days anyway. How about I wait for you to come back? I will go with you again in January or February.

You don’t even know that recently, my brands have come to inquire about my itinerary more and more frequently. They are all here for you, Director Lin. They want me to avoid missing the Golden Globe, Berlin, and Oscar, and follow you everywhere. Again. whee……"

…………

On a new day, the entire film and television industry was shocked by Pony's big news.

It is simply appropriate to describe the current top management of Galloping Horse as "you will not survive if you do it yourself".

The eldest sister-in-law and sister-in-law who had just succeeded in "usurping the throne" at the beginning of the month had only been the chairman and general manager for two weeks. The huge company was about to face insolvency and bankruptcy.

Because CCB Culture officially filed a lawsuit and arbitration with the court, requiring Pony Galloping to immediately fulfill the gambling agreement and repurchase the shares at a premium.

The amount of funds required to repurchase these shares is as high as 635 million in cash!

The industry knows very well that even if the entire Pony Galloping Group is sold, it will not be enough to make so much money, not even one-third!

My colleagues in the film and television industry knew very well that Galloping Pony was doomed. Big Dog Brother’s twenty years of hard work has finally come to an end.

At this moment, everyone is watching the pony galloping.

It is no longer the industry giant, competitor and partner it used to be, but the fat on the chopping board, the kind that can be cut with a knife!

Lin Nan was sitting in the office, having a video conference with Wang Changtian, Ye Ning and Wang Wei.

Everyone in the industry is sharpening their knives, so we can’t lag behind, right?

A former film and television giant has fallen, but it can feed a group of people. The reality is so cruel.

"Tudou can contact Xiao Ma. We only want their TV series and movie copyrights. We don't want bad movies and TV series or buy them cheaply." Lin Nan gave instructions.

"We don't have any contact with their films that have been produced but not yet released, or the shares of films that they participated in investment?" Wang Changtian asked doubtfully.

"Yes, "The Taiping Wheel (Part 1)" will be released in December, there are also "The Taiping Wheel (Part 2)" which has not yet been released, and the youth film "The Year in a Hurry"... In addition, Xiao Ma also owns many domestic and overseas film and television projects. The priority investment rights of the project were left by Big Dog Brother and Zhong Lifang."

Ye Ning listed them all one by one, looking quite moved.

Wang Wei said nothing. These matters in the film and television industry should be left to the three major shareholders. He was only responsible for negotiating the buyout with Xiao Ma.

"No, it's not good to be alone. We don't touch those movies that haven't been released or the priority investment rights in film and television projects.

Of course, if Wanda and Guang Guang are interested, you can contact them privately. But my advice is to be cautious, the risk is too great. "

Lin Nan said whatever he thought in his heart. The people in this circle are probably all thinking about "Taiping Wheel"!

"Then it's up to you."

"Fine."

Wang Changtian and Ye Ning nodded one after another.

"Then I'll have someone contact Xiao Ma?" Wang Wei then asked.

"Well, as soon as possible."

Lin Nan had previously asked people to inquire about the number and information about the copyrights of film and television works owned by Xiao Ma. It was really tempting, and there were so many high-quality products!

After ending the video conference, Lin Nan stretched.

What he asked Tudou to buy was probably the least valuable thing for Pony on the surface, but it was also the most valuable thing.

…

The Golden Horse Awards have officially opened, and many mainland filmmakers have flown over.

Although this year is just a small year for movies over there, it is still very popular, just because of the internationally famous Gong Li!

This "Gong Huang" won the Venice Best Actress at the age of 27. The films she participated in won the Golden Bear, Golden Lion, Golden Palm, and countless other Best Actress awards.

She enjoys this kind of treatment, which is not excessive. It can only be said that she deserves it.

News from the Golden Horse Group comes back to the mainland from time to time, but the mainland is more concerned about the film market because the Lunar New Year season is about to kick off.

"Interstellar" took in a box office of about 88 million on the sixth day, and just over 82 million on the seventh day. It has been in theaters for a full week!

Various media outlets are rushing to report on the box office results of "Interstellar" in its first week. This number has silenced the film industry.

"Produced by Warner Bros., directed by Nolan, starring Matthew McConaughey, Liu Yifei, Jessica Chastain and others, the science fiction masterpiece "Interstellar" with an investment of 150 million US dollars was released in China in its first week, with total box office revenue 712 million!”

"According to industry analysis, "Interstellar" will most likely exceed 1 billion in box office in the mainland film market."

"So far, "Interstellar" has earned a total box office of US$450 million in the global film market! It will continue to make great progress in the future..."

"Liu Yifei served as the heroine of an S-level production for the first time, and the box office results were gratifying!"

…

For things like endorsements, of the same type, you can definitely only sign one type.

Negotiating contract renewal in advance, poaching new brands, choosing new high-end luxury products...

Hongxingwu has been really busy these two days, because there are so many brand invitations.

But Liu Yifei's approach is to focus on being good but not too much, and strictly limits the number of endorsements she can get.

Therefore, the team can only do exhaustive research and compare one by one to see whether it is suitable, whether it matches, and how advanced it is... and choose the best among the best.

When Lin Nan came back, Liu Yifei was answering the phone. It was from Hongxingwu. It seemed like a two-year contract worth tens of millions of dollars!

"Rich woman, can you support me?"

"Keep your voice down, I'm on the phone. Here, there is rice bought by my mother in the kitchen. If you're hungry, cook it yourself."

Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows at Lin Nan with a arrogant expression.

Lin Nan vaguely heard laughter coming from Miss Liu's cell phone. It was obvious that the female assistant couldn't hold it back.

"Oh, you are mocking your boss's fiancé. Be careful that your year-end bonus will be deducted tomorrow because you enter the gate of Hongxingwu with your left or right foot, haha..."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei also burst into laughter, "getting angry" and grabbed the bear pillow on the sofa and threw it over.

"How can you be so joking, haha..."

Lin Nan smiled and put the pillow back in his hand. He didn't bother Liu Yifei to answer the phone and sat next to her.

Five minutes later, Miss Liu hung up the phone and turned to look at Lin Nan.

"Okay, it's finally done. But I'll be very busy in the first half of next year. I have to shoot a lot of commercials."

After saying this, Liu Yifei leaned against Lin Nan and pretended to be "fierce":

"You still want to eat soft food? Humph, don't even think about it! You first ask our dad if he agrees."

Well, Lin Nan has nothing to say. Liu Yifei's "our dad" refers to the one who has a daughter-in-law and forgets about his son.

"Okay. I don't want to eat this soft food anymore."

Lin Nan tightened her arms and smiled.

"I'm joking with you, can't you tell?"

Lifting her head, Liu Yifei puffed up her cheeks, and her delicate face gave people the impression that they could be broken by blows.

"Of course I can hear it. But no matter how delicious the soft rice is, it won't be as delicious as you, right?"

"I'm not doing my job right again, hee hee..."

…………

The next day.

Inexplicably, the Internet is full of news about Hong Kong stars coming to Beijing, and they are all celebrities who have been famous for a long time.

The mainland entertainment industry is still a bit unclear, so what’s going on?

It wasn't until Weibo's trending searches came out that the mainland's film and television and entertainment circles were only an afterthought.

No wonder everyone from the Xiang family came!

The once generation of film and television tycoons in Hong Kong are gone.

Again, when it comes to life, Xiang Weisheng is much better than his brother, which is a pity.

"Once one of the symbols of Hong Kong, Yongsheng Films has long been a thing of the past. I didn't expect that even the most important founder among them would be gone now."

Wang Changtian was quite emotional. After all, many well-known movies were produced by Yongsheng and produced by Xiang Eisheng.

"I said, Director Wang, why are you free to come to my company today?"

Lin Nan leaned on the chair and looked at Wang Changtian opposite and asked.

The other party hesitated for a moment and then spoke, "I want to say that I just came back from Pony and passed by you. What do you think?"

At this moment, Lin Nan had a guess in his mind:

"You don't want to make that movie, do you? Director Wang, don't seek death!

The advice I gave to Director Han was not to invest, but he didn't listen. Now you're rushing to do it... Isn't it possible? "

Lin Nan was still a little worried. If this was really taken over by Wang Changtian, he would cry to death later.

"To tell you the truth, I had this idea in mind. But those two sisters were so stubborn that they had a brain problem.

Director Han said that he hoped that the two parts of "Tai Ping Huan" combined would exceed 2 billion, and they really succeeded!

Just pointing to the box office and global copyright after the film was released, it is a comeback. Oh, by the way, there's also the movie "The Year in a Hurry". "

"So, buying the copyright for Tudou will take a lot of effort?" Lin Nan reacted.

He is staring at "My Brother's Name is Shunliu" and "I Am a Special Forces Soldier"... These TV series and movies are very coveted. After all, they are Xiao Ma's hard work for more than ten years!

"It should be about the same. Hua Yi and the others were also rejected." Wang Changtian nodded.

"It's okay, there are only a few days left, just wait." Lin Nan said pointedly.

"How many days have it been?"

"'The Wheel (Part 1)' is less than two weeks away from its release.

I never believe that Hong Kong directors can make epics. They can’t even make historical films well, so why make epics? "

Lin Nan spoke bluntly and in a rather contemptuous tone.
