That year Huayu

Facts have proved that Cao Baoping's worries about whether "The Chaser" will be able to recover its money at the box office are completely unnecessary. He is too conservative and humble.

Although it is the first time to make a black comedy suspense film, the production cost of this film is only 30 million, so it is considered a small production.

Even if suspense films currently occupy a relatively small share of the market, "The Chaser" will definitely not lose money.

Because the quality of the film is high enough, it is acted by all the actors, directed by Cao Baoping, and produced by Lin Nan Pictures. These selling points are self-evident and beyond doubt!

After a movie was shown, Lin Nan was very annoyed by Jiang Wen.

This guy asked questions for more than an hour, all related to Internet publicity, and the questions got deeper and deeper.

Lin Nan Pictures doesn't specialize in publicity, so how could he know so clearly?

At the end of the answer, Lin Nan was really annoyed, so he simply gave Jiang Wen a few concluding words:

“Based on your past ‘problems’, learn from experience and lessons, and suggest that the film’s promotion position be shifted from offline to online to make it more people-friendly;

Find a 'young' planning team, obey the arrangements, and don't act blindly when your brain gets hot. You are professional in making movies, but you can be more professional in criticizing the audience and the media..."

After finishing the call, Lin Nan was a little at a loss because Jiang Wen listened very seriously and was still taking notes on his phone?

This scene made Director Lin very uncomfortable. You must know that Jiang Wen is famously stubborn in the industry.

Lin Nan had given him a lot of advice, but when had he ever accepted it so "docilely"? The answer is: never!

"Thank you. I will take note of all your suggestions."

Jiang Wen looked up and thanked him seriously. Then he patted Lin Nan's arm and walked towards the social crowd with satisfaction, his steps became much lighter... The luncheon was about to begin.

"No, why don't you retort a few words. I feel awkward when you do this..."

"When I see the two of you like this, I feel even more awkward. One has changed his gender and humbly asked for advice; the other was sincerely thanked and begged to be refuted!"

Ning Hao teased and walked up to him, "I'm really looking forward to it this time. Jiang Wen seems to want to go against his 'original intention'."

"How do you say that?" Lin Nan was a little confused.

“In the past, I was full of integrity, arrogance and talent, and exuded an aura of ‘I have to stand and make money’ from the inside out.

But look at the things he just asked, and the seriousness with which he took notes, a rare thank you... Doesn't this seem like a sign of upcoming calcium deficiency, huh? "

Faced with Ning Hao's joking tone and eyes, Lin Nan did not respond because he also reacted.

"Let's go, Yifei and Najie have already taken their seats."

"Well, let's go."

Lin Nan and Ning Hao walked through the crowd and walked to the table where Liu Yifei and Xing Ai were sitting. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"It is precisely because of his integrity, arrogance and talent that Jiang Wencai is more prone to paranoia. He has always claimed to be an all-rounder, and he has been transforming into a commercial director for so many years, but his box office results are... how could he not be anxious?

Once people are anxious, in order to achieve certain obsessions, they will unconsciously make concessions and break through the bottom line that they have always adhered to. For example, Jiang Wen decided to choose Peng Yuyan this time.

Because the latter has been very successful in marketing in recent years, and he is a "powerful" person with countless fans. He is good-looking, has a good figure, is tough enough, works hard enough, and has professional ethics... his positive image is endless..."

As soon as he took his seat, Lin Nan heard Xing Aina talking about "Secret Fruit". This movie is very popular now, and it has attracted much attention and optimism in the industry.

And just a few minutes ago, several people in the circle were lobbying Wang Changtian, wanting to recruit a little girl from Taiwan Province to join the team to partner with Chen Feiyu.

If nothing else happens, Comrade Lao Wang should seriously consider it and even make a decision in the next few days.

"I understand. After all, Guangguang's youth films are well-known. They are very flattering. Of course, they are very flattering to outsiders." Ning Hao couldn't help but joked.

After hearing this, several people all turned their heads and looked in the direction of Wang Changtian, four or five tables away.

"If Director Wang hears your words and stabs him in the heart, he will probably blackmail you today."

"Don't worry, he can't hear it, haha."

The people at the table couldn't help laughing immediately, the light was indeed a bit evil;

None of our own artists can carry the show, and some of the newcomers we have tried to sign in the past two years have failed to make any splash. But he still didn't give up and kept trying.

…

5 days since it was released on the 14th. "July and Ansheng" took in 97 million box office, and "Anti-Corruption Storm 2" earned 163 million in revenue.

"Westward Journey 3", which is regarded as "shit" by viewers and netizens, is a strong leader, with revenue of 335 million.

This phenomenon, firstly, is enough to show how powerful the power of "feelings" is; secondly, it also tells everyone nakedly that many people go to eat... what the hell.

In view of this, Liu Zhenwei finally showed his voice. After all, box office represents "correctness", and he is right!

But the content of this statement is really a bit like pouring a spoonful of old excrement on top of a pile of "shit", which has simply reached the point where netizens are "angry".

“I believe that “A Chinese Odyssey 3” will become a classic after many years, just like “Pancakes” and “Monkey King Go Sakura” were not accepted and recognized when they first came out, but became classics after many years.

In fact, I have several bolder and more amazing ideas for “A Chinese Odyssey 3”, which unfortunately have not been filmed:

First, Sun Wukong is actually Tang Sanzang’s father. He embarked on the journey to the West for his son;

Second, Sun Wukong is a homosexual. Because he loves Tang Sanzang, he will protect him on the journey to obtain scriptures;

Third, the Monkey King is actually a woman. The purpose of her making trouble in the Heavenly Palace is just to steal peaches and change her sex...

I can understand the fans who scold me. Because in my opinion, I am the Sun Wukong in the hands of the audience, and you have become Tang Sanzang...”

On the morning of the 19th, the Internet responded with crazy scolding!

Many filmmakers and production companies in the industry were watching the fun and laughing:

Liu Zhen is great. It is likely that he thinks that the box office performance of more than 300 million is enough, right? It doesn't need to be higher, so it is so unscrupulous to provoke the audience and fans...

After turning off the radio and getting off the car, Director Lin, who was late for work, was still smiling. Next, it depends on how the box office trend responds to Liu Zhenwei.

Taking the elevator from the underground first floor to the third floor, Lin Nan saw two of the new four young actresses, Zhou Dongyu and Guan Xiaotong, who had just finished military training.

These thin arms and legs look soft and fluffy. What do they think every day? Are they sure they can play military themes?

Amid the greetings of "Hello, Director Lin", Lin Nan nodded and entered the elevator again.

"Today, all the hot searches outside are about "A Chinese Odyssey 3" and Liu Zhenwei, and the news about the start of "Surfing the Waves" has been pushed to the corners."

Just after entering Tiangong Color and turning on the computer for less than 3 minutes, Yue Jun ran over.

"Starting today?" Lin Nan asked curiously.

"Yes, today. I heard that it is going to be released during the Spring Festival. The time is tight and the goal is clear. They are going to share the cake during the big schedule."

"Four months, from the start of shooting to the completion, to post-production and release, it is really fun. The quality of this kind of movie will not be very high, but it is above the passing line."

As he spoke, Lin Nan had already taken over the camera from yesterday afternoon and continued the post-production of "Marriage Story". This movie is only about the last 10% away from completion.

Yue Jun sat next to him and reported on the casting.

Except for some important supporting roles in "Operation Red Sea", other minor supporting roles have basically been finalized.

Especially a large number of small roles that are not many but indispensable, the Navy Political Department directly packaged and allocated them to the artistic actors and staff under the military system, focusing on one profession!

Near noon, after a long time, the call from Jindun finally came.

There are only two months and one week left before the release of "Operation Mekong".

As a mainstream commercial blockbuster, the promotion of the film should indeed begin, after all, "The Great Wall" has already started.

Lin Nan naturally agreed, because according to the plan made by the company and Guangguang, the promotion of "Operation Mekong" was originally going to start from the beginning of next month.

At that time, he will personally lead the team to promote, while taking care of online press releases and interviews...

"Operation Mekong" is finally ready to meet the public. It has been a year since we waited for it, right?"

Shanghai Film, in the chairman's office. After Ren Zhonglun hung up the phone, he looked at Han Sanping with emotion.

"It started shooting on National Day last year, and it has indeed been a year. From the start of shooting to the official release to meet the audience, it took a full 14 months!" Han Sanping smiled and nodded, with some regret.

Because this is also the last time that China Film participated in a film project controlled by Lin Nan's film industry, with a share of 5%!

Of course, although Shanghai Film also has 5%, it has completely replaced China Film since then. That was the "line" left by Han Sanping before, and it was broken.

"It all depends on how much the box office can be cut this time. I hope to make up for the previous regret and reach 30.

In this way, the stock prices of 4 out of the 6 producers will most likely be positively stimulated. Shanghai Film Co., Ltd. has just been listed, and I am still looking forward to it."

Ren Zhonglun's idea is quite beautiful. Only Linnan Pictures and Golden Shield are not involved in the stock market, and the other four are listed companies.

Han Sanping didn't say anything, but just smiled and nodded. If the box office goes well, it will be like this.

Just then, the landline on the table suddenly rang. Ren Zhonglun quickly picked up the phone. The call he just hung up was from Golden Shield, and this one was the one he and Han Sanping had been waiting for all morning.

"Okay, 3pm? Yes. We will be there on time. Thank you for your help... Next time you lead a team to Shanghai Film Studio for research, I will personally entertain you..."

Two minutes later, Ren Zhonglun hung up the phone, then stood up and looked at Han Sanping with a smile:

"Let's get to the city government before 2:30 at the latest. Let's have lunch first. Let's go and try our canteen at Shanghai Film Studio. It's not worse than China Film Studio... By the way, you don't seem to have eaten here yet?"

"No, let's try it today." Han Sanping also stood up after hearing this.

"If everything goes well, the start time of "Dying to Survive" should be about the same as "Operation Red Sea", right?"

"Yes, about the same."

...

"The Murderer" was released with a high profile, but Lin Nan didn't pay much attention to it. Let's talk about the box office and film reviews tomorrow.

After getting up in the morning, he did not go to the company. It really corresponds to that sentence. The more work is about to be finished, the more procrastinating and wanting to be lazy.

However, it is still possible to deal with trivial matters at home, such as "Get Out!" The crews and creators of 6 movies including "Tumor King", "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield", "Charlotte", "Hong Kong", "The Secret of the Dragon", and "Wolf Warrior" went to the Hundred Flowers Awards.

Ma Li is on the set of "The Mystery of the Dragon Tablet" and will not be able to come back; although "囧" did not receive any nominations, Wang Changtian means that everyone will participate.

Wu Gan and Yu Nan are both on the crew of "Wolf Warrior 2", and they are also unable to return to China before the 24th, so they will have to postpone their return for a few days until the end of the month.

Xie Nan will "compete" for the best director on behalf of their director Wu, Ni Dahong will also participate, and Liu Yifei is the producer, producer and crew representative.

The remaining three movies are absolutely fine, and the main creators will be there without missing a beat!

"Stop hanging around in front of me, okay? You'll know in four days whether you can get the Best Actress award?"

Lin Nan looked at Shu Chang who was circling in the living room and said speechlessly. A group of cats were greatly harmed by her and were chased everywhere.

"The more you tell her that there are only four days left, the more nervous and excited she becomes, and she is hopeless." Liu Yifei also glanced at her best friend with a smile.

Shu Chang curled his lips at first, then immediately turned into a flattering expression and approached Miss Liu.

"Sissi, it used to be called the 'Huayi Hundred Flowers Award'. Do you think it will be renamed this time?"

"How to change? What to change?" Liu Yifei leaned back and looked at Shu Chang with unkind eyes. She had a bad feeling.

"Hey, Lin Nan Pictures Hundred Flowers Award!" Shu Chang spread his hands and smiled.

"Cough...cough..."

Lin Nan almost choked on his own spit. He glanced at Shu Chang angrily: "What do you think? This reputation is not good!"

"Brother, just tell me if this is possible?" Shu Chang was not frightened at all and instead asked Director Lin with raised eyebrows.

"Lin Nan?"

Liu Yifei also looked over, because she knew that this possibility was really high. After all, more than half of the high-grossing movies in the film market last year were produced by her own company, and Yue Jun also conducted public relations...

The living room became quiet. Under the gaze of the two women, Lin Nan finally spoke helplessly.

"Whether there will be public opinion about the 'Lin Nan Film Hundred Flowers Award', I don't know, and it's hard to say. But when Yue Jun went to handle these things before, I specifically told him..."

At this point, Lin Nan paused intentionally. Liu Yifei and Shu Chang became anxious all of a sudden, "Speak quickly!"

"I specifically told Shu Chang to put Shu Chang first!" Director Lin looked at Shu Chang, whose eyes widened with surprise on his face, and reminded him again: "You'd better not open the champagne at halftime!"

"Okay, okay. Hum...hum...hahaha...Sissi...haha..."
