That year Huayu

Since noon, there has been a lot of news about "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay (Part 2)" on the Internet.

To say that the current foreign language film crews also know how to please domestic audiences:

That is, climb the Great Wall, eat Chinese food, post photos, and finally issue a press release such as "like" and "love".

After this set of tricks, the favorability of mainland audiences and movie fans towards imported films and the main creators can be increased many times in an instant, which is definitely beneficial to the box office of the movie.

After Lin Nan finished the class and returned home, he couldn't help but complain about this matter with Liu Yifei and the other two.

In Hollywood, Jennifer Lawrence is famous for her arrogance and dislike of China;

It's not like what was said in today's press release, such as liking the Great Wall, the dumplings are delicious, and I want to come again next time...

These are all nonsense, just due to the pressure of Lionsgate, for the premiere and publicity of the movie.

After eating and drinking, there are more topics to talk about. Luo Jin is ready to "defect".

"The housing prices in Shanghai are not inferior to those in the capital. Good locations, larger houses and villas are also very burdensome for first-line actors."

In the garden, listening to Luo Jin's sigh, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.

"I found that most of the male actors who found Shanghai women as girlfriends or wives will eventually settle down in Shanghai? I didn't expect you to be abducted there too!"

"It's too early. I just have this plan. Wait for another two years and save some money."

Luo Jin didn't deny it, but joked with a smile. It is estimated that in the short term, neither of them is ready to get married.

It was not until after five o'clock in the afternoon that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sent Tang Yan and Luo Jin out of the villa area.

At this time, the two of them had to consider whether to attend the premiere in the evening.

After thinking it over and over again, they decided: Liu Yifei would not go, and Lin Nan would just show up, which was also a face for Lionsgate.

Facts have proved that almost all the big names in the mainland film industry have been invited by Lionsgate.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, when Lin Nan walked through the red carpet surrounded by a large number of media and fans and entered the inner field, he immediately saw the huge crowd.

It is reasonable to say that it is just an imported film, and it does not need to be so grand and have so many people to support it;

But its producer is a Hollywood giant, and there are two Oscar winners in the crew.

Let's not talk about Jennifer Lawrence, this "parallel import", who was pushed up by Weinstein;

But Julianne Moore is definitely a real actress, the Grand Slam actress of the three major international film festivals in Europe, and an Oscar winner!

"Lin, long time no see."

Before the domestic group of people greeted Lin Nan, the Lionsgate people came first.

The other party was not Paul, but another production director, who had dealt with him before.

"Long time no see, I wish you a big box office success for this movie."

"Thank you, Lin. Please enjoy the premiere and dinner tonight. The group headquarters is waiting for you, see you during the award ceremony."

"Okay."

A group of Hollywood actors followed closely, greeting Lin Nan, including Jennifer Lawrence.

After all, a top director like Lin Nan is the object that all actors are eager to get along with even in Hollywood.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you are the only mainland filmmaker who is fawned over by those Hollywood actors tonight. It turns out that you have to be an internationally renowned director, especially an Oscar-winning director!"

Ren Zhonglun approached Lin Nan with a smile on his face, so that many mainland actors stopped again.

"I am not modest on this point."

Lin Nan smiled and replied to Ren Zhonglun while waving to Jiang Wen.

"I just heard from the Lionsgate executive that you are going to participate in the Oscars this year? And you want to meet with Lionsgate? Is there a... project?"

At this moment, Lin Nan had only four words in his mind: cunning and treacherous!

He looked at Ren Zhonglun's smiling face, and then perfunctorily answered the first question:

"Yes, I will go there, and if nothing goes wrong, I will be an award presenter, after all, I was the best director last year."

"No more?"

"No more. Director Ren, you should go somewhere else. So many people are waving at me, I have to go over and chat with them."

Lin Nan finished speaking with a smile, then waved his hand and went to Jiang Wen.

Looking at the back figure walking away, Ren Zhonglun's expression became more certain, "You really made me guess? A little stingy!"

...

Jiang Wen is a person who likes to be soft and not hard, and he also likes to hear compliments. Although he may resist it, he must be sincere in his heart.

Look, several Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are flattering him next to him; Jiang Wen is correcting the other party's words while smiling from ear to ear.

Lin Nan wanted to change his route to avoid him, but it was too late. Jiang Wen saw him.

"Come on, Director Lin, let me introduce you to Peng Yuyan, an actor from Taiwan..."

"Hello, Director Lin, we've met before." The other party smiled and bowed.

"Huh? Know him?" Jiang Wen was stunned when he heard Peng Yuyan's words.

"Not familiar, I met him a few times when I visited Yifei's "Legend of Sword and Fairy" before. At that time, I was helping to direct the crew of "The Lotus Lantern" next door."

Lin Nan explained that 11 years have passed, and the Mandarin of these Hong Kong and Taiwan actors still sounds so awkward.

"Oh, that's right. That's okay. This counts as acquaintance. There are not many young actors in the industry who are so strong..."

Good guy, Lin Nan finally heard it, Jiang Wen admired him very much!

Half an hour later, the premiere began.

I have to say that this is indeed a very good film; it is the finale of the series, without any distractions.

However, when asked by Wang Changtian whether it would affect "The Secret of the Dragon", Lin Nan shook his head decisively.

This movie was released on the 20th. Not only was there an 8-day gap between it and "The Secret of the Dragon", but its positioning as a series also meant that it would not affect the latter;

Because the previous installments of "The Hunger Games" did not do well at the domestic box office, this means that fewer people watched it;

And if most people have not watched the previous movies, the probability of watching the finale of the last one is not very high. After all, they may not be able to understand the plot after entering the theater!

Lin Nan originally wanted to leave immediately after watching the movie and not attend the dinner, but he was held back by Ren Zhonglun;

The latter just wanted to make some insinuations about what the "project" he guessed was, and it was Sima Zhao's naked heart.

But Lin Nan didn't even plan to bring China Film Academy with him, and it was even less likely that he would bring China Film Academy with him to avoid trouble.

In the end, Ren Zhonglun could only return without success and watched Lin Nan leave the dinner party.

…

The next day, in addition to reports and positive reviews on the premiere of "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay (Part 2)" on the Internet, there was finally news about the bet between Lin Nan Pictures' two films.

"According to insiders in the industry, Lin Nan Pictures is the controlling investment, jointly produced by China Film, Wanda, and Enlight, and directed by Wu Ershan. The top big IP movie "The Secret of the Dragon" has been invited to share the total box office and bet, and has been invited by most The theater chain refused...Wang Changtian, chairman of Enlight Pictures, accepted a telephone interview and confirmed it."

"It is reported that "Detective Chinatown," a comedy, action, and detective blockbuster directed by director Lin Nan, has signed a total box office betting agreement with many domestic theaters.

That is: if the total box office of the movie "Detective Chinatown" is less than 800 million, the share ratio remains unchanged, and the film studio and distributor can obtain 43% of the shareable box office;

If the total box office exceeds 800 million but is less than 1.2 billion, the film studio and distributor will receive 44.5% of the shareable box office; if the total box office exceeds 1.2 billion, the film studio and distributor will receive 46%..."

"Lin Nan Pictures executive Yue Jun updated his Weibo, acknowledging that "Detective Chinatown" has completed the signing of the total box office betting contract, and looks forward to achieving greater box office results!

In addition, the movies "The Secret of the Dragon" and "Detective Chinatown" still will not be released in Anle Cinema..."

"Produced by Columbia Pictures, the imported Hollywood blockbuster "007: Specter" has officially launched in theaters nationwide early this morning..."

…

Lin Nan Films.

"The theaters are all very resistant to the clause of 'the total box office exceeds 2 billion, and the film studio will share 48% of the revenue'. There is no other way, this clause has to be dropped!"

Lin Nan had already been mentally prepared for this result. He just wanted to give it a try.

And it is foreseeable that the further you go, the box office betting contract may become more and more difficult to sign, or may become more demanding;

Because the market continues to grow, how can profit-seeking theater chains be willing to succumb to one person or company?

"That's okay. I'm the only one in the country who has this kind of treatment. It's too much. How's the publicity going?"

""The Secret of the Dragon" holds a media meeting in Shanghai today, which is also the last one, and will be followed by the premiere on the 25th. The first stop of "Detective Chinatown" is..."

In the past two months, Lin Nan couldn't stop thinking about it. With a promotional schedule in mind, he arrived at Tiangong Color.

Because "Operation Mekong" had Ning Hao's help, the post-editing was done very quickly. In addition, there are only a few special effects shots. It is estimated that by the end of this month or the beginning of next month, the finished film should be almost complete.

"Director Ning, your salary has just been sent to that sister."

Lin Nan said casually. The crew finished filming in half a month and paid off everyone's salary. This efficiency is one of the best in the industry.

"Have they all been beaten?"

Hearing this, Ning Hao immediately lost his composure. He couldn't beat them all!

Lin Nan glanced at him with disgust, "Go to the finance department before getting off work at noon to see how to arrange your private money. I have already paid the tax for you."

"Haha, okay, I know you can do things well."

Facing the complacent Ning Hao, Lin Nan said seriously: "If you are caught, it is best not to involve me and Yifei.

If that sister really finds out and goes to Yifei's place, in order to prevent Yifei from being implicated, I will help you make up a reason: Why do you have to pay for raising a mistress outside and messing around with others..."

"Okay, okay, you cunt! Didn't you just let Yifei help you lie?"

Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh. He was just joking. In fact, he didn't have much private money, just one million. However, Director Ning's life was really miserable.

Fortunately, my Miss Liu is different from Xing Aina and is much gentler.

…

The Lunar New Year holiday is approaching, and four or five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

"The Legend of Dayu'er" starring Jing Tian did not appear on Star TV, but it received good reviews on Tudou, which can be considered as satisfactory.

At this time, there are only four days left before the Golden Horse Awards ceremony; a large number of mainland filmmakers, actors and stars are setting off to fly to Taipei.

Lin Nan heard that Li An was invited back to serve as an award guest. Thinking about it, he is the only international director in Taiwan who can handle it. He is really used like a tool, and he is invited every year.

But they are unwilling to give Li An the real power of the Golden Horse Committee, which really means they don't take the great director seriously.

After returning home from the company, as expected, Jinma was a bit "perseverant".

"Your cell phone was turned off. Director Li An called me and asked if we were free to attend the Golden Horse Awards."

Liu Yifei closed the script she took out from Lin Nan's study, looked at him and said with a smile.

"I guess you've declined on our behalf, right?"

With Miss Liu's little expression, how could Lin Nan not guess her.

"Hmm, I said we can't leave. We have to be busy with the post-production of the movie, the casting of the TV series, and the promotion of the Lunar New Year movie..."

Sitting next to Liu Yifei, Lin Nan glanced at the movie script in her hand.

"Next year, I will prepare one or two movies for you. Producer Liu and Queen Sissi, you will be very busy then."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei instantly tilted her head, looked at Lin Nan with a smile on her face, then rested her head on his shoulder, and hummed a little arrogantly:

"Huh, is it all directed by Director Lin? If it wasn't you, I wouldn't be satisfied."

"Well... at least one, how about it?"

Lin Nan hugged Liu Yifei's waist and said softly and affectionately.

"Okay, it's a deal. If you lie to me, hey hey... do you know the consequences?!"

"Then kill me and use the peonies as fertilizer!"

"You are so beautiful! Hehehe..."

Liu Yifei leaned her head against Lin Nan, smiling tremblingly, very soft and fragrant.

…

Yue Jun made a call to the Yinghuang Capital Branch. By chance, Hoven Creek happens to be here.

"Director Yue, is the script finished?"

"Director Huo, please send someone over. The script of "Ip Man 4" has been completed, and Ying Huang can take it for review."

Huo Wenxi became a little excited when he heard this, "Okay, I'll come over in person. What about the project funds?"

"After the script is submitted for review, Yinghuang will give us an account and special funds will be transferred to it."

"okay."

After hesitating for a moment, Huo Wenxi asked another question:

"Director Yue, in the film "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" over at Hongxingwu, I wonder if there are opportunities for Yinghuang artists? Supporting roles are also fine..."

Hearing this, Yue Jun couldn't help laughing immediately: "Then you have to ask Director Jiang or Producer Liu, I can't speak.

But I'm curious, which artist is Director Huo asking for? You should know that Director Lin is very picky about Hong Kong actors, especially their accents. Of course, except Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui, hehe..."

"Director Yue joked again. There are no big-name actors like Andy Lau and Leung Ka-fai under Yinghuang. It's Bai Bing. I asked her for it. She was born in the mainland and has no accent. Director Yue, a resource in Hong Kong, also knows , getting worse and worse.”

Yue Jun paused for a moment, "You'd better ask Director Jiang. I really can't say anything. She is assisting Hongxingwu in doing this project."

"Okay then. Thank you, Director Yue. See you in the afternoon."
