That year Huayu

Chapter 1145 "Dying to Survive"! Return to Beijing; IPO...

"The Foreigner", which Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan finished shooting two years ago, was finally officially announced at 11:30 am. It is scheduled for National Day, September 30.

As the first international action blockbuster released after the former won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, once the release date was set, the relevant film information immediately swept the entire network and even foreign media.

This movie also clearly stated that it would be released globally, and the popularity was unprecedented, because it is very likely to be Jackie Chan's last peak personal heroism international blockbuster, after all, Jackie Chan is already over 60.

"Let me tell you this, when the project was officially launched, many Hollywood directors flew to the capital and accepted the interview with the big brother! In the end, he personally selected Martin Campbell."

Inside a textile factory, the crew of "Dying to Survive" was eating lunch while talking about Jackie Chan's "The Foreigner", and Lin Nan popularized a little-known "unpopular knowledge" to everyone.

"In terms of the status of Chinese actors around the world, he has to be the big brother!" Xu Zheng's heartfelt sigh won everyone's nods of agreement. There was no actor at the scene who did not look up to and envy Jackie Chan.

Lin Nan smiled and shook his head gently, because he remembered what Jackie Chan said publicly before the release of "The Chinese Zodiac":

"If I die now, I will definitely become a legend in the history of world cinema like Bruce Lee and James Dean!"

But the actual situation is a bit difficult to describe. He has been taking on a lot of "bad movies" in the past two years, and his workload has skyrocketed; even the schedule for the next five years is full, just to save money for his son.

Just talking about "The Mystery of Dragon Seal" which was just finished a few days ago and "Blood of the Machine" which was finished some time ago, there have been rumors in the industry about these two movies - the films have no characteristics and highlights!

"Director Lin, I'm going to prepare for the scenes first." At this time, Ni Yi took the initiative to say hello.

After Lin Nan nodded in response, she went straight to her own resting tent. Then it was time for her to put on makeup and prepare her emotions. In the afternoon scene, there was her first highlight shot.

In the plot, after a year, she, who had aged at least ten years, found Cheng Yong, who was already the owner of a textile factory;

The gentle light in her eyes was completely gone, and only a body that was forced to a dead end by reality was left, but she had to hold on for her husband and children...

She lost control of her emotions and knelt down to beg... But Cheng Yong really couldn't leave, he had to accompany a big customer, so he could only let her leave her contact information and address to the security guard, but she still held Cheng Yong's legs tightly and didn't let go...

After being stopped and dragged by the security guard, and watching Cheng Yong's car disappear in front of her, her spirit completely collapsed, and she wailed wantonly without any image... The helplessness of survival, the naked reality.

"How is Wang Chuanju?" Lin Nan looked at Han Jianu and asked.

Hearing this, not only Xiao Han showed a sighing expression, Xu Zheng, Bai Bing, Jin Shijie, Zhang Yu and others also cast a look of approval and nodded.

"Fortunately, he is still alive. I really admire him. Just for the effect of this afternoon's shots, he didn't sleep or eat for three consecutive days and nights. He was in a state of endurance, like crazy!"

Faced with Han Jianu's complaints, Lin Nan could only smile and had nothing to say. Today is the fourth day that Wang Chuanjun has insisted. Now he is waiting in the hospital ward at the next shooting location.

He advised Wang Chuanjun, but the latter did not have no confidence in Lin Nan and the makeup artist, but in himself, so he finally chose this extreme experience-based method.

"It's good to be alive. After shooting these most profound shots, he will be finished."

Lin Nan said calmly. That's right, Wang Chuanjun's part will be finished soon, and he can finish shooting and leave the crew early.

…

At about 1 p.m., the final performance of The Great Wall in the North American film market was reported back to China.

The total box office closed at 34.8 million U.S. dollars, and the daily box office was completely zero... Universal Pictures even gave up the plan to put The Great Wall on the shelves of the disc sales channel, because it was completely unnecessary.

The Hollywood media has also begun to report extensively, so that even the mainland Internet is a hot topic and uproar:

"The Great Wall is expected to lose 80 million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to about 550 million yuan at yesterday's exchange rate; China Film, as the largest domestic producer, holds a 40% stake..."

At about 2 p.m., La Peikang, who had just started work, was "invited" to the competent department - Sino-US co-productions involving state-owned enterprises must be curbed, especially large-scale productions.

On the surface, the failure of The Great Wall is an important and direct reason for the "contraction" of future state-owned enterprise co-production projects; but the real reason, that is, the root cause, comes from politics.

Of course, none of this affects the fact that Chairman La Da was severely criticized.

After all, "The Great Wall" has become a joke in the global film industry: a Sino-US co-production film with a huge investment of US$150 million and controlled by a Chinese state-owned enterprise, but it turned out to be a piece of shit!

At Guangguang, Wang Changtian was still flipping through the script of "Time Travel".

Su Lun originally planned to try to find Xu Zheng for help, because she had worked for Xu Zheng and served as the executive director of "Lost in Hong Kong".

But because the latter was in the crew of "Dying to Survive", she was too far away, so after thinking it over again and again, she finally chose Guangguang, which was also an alternative plan.

Su Lun was initially worried about whether she could meet with the busy Chairman Wang Da. After all, compared to Xu Zheng, the former must be busier, which is why she wanted to find Xu Zheng first.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. She didn't even make an appointment. She was called by Li Xiaoping after just one phone call...

Wang Changtian couldn't help laughing for a long time after hearing Su Lun's "psychological activities".

"Boss Wang, do you mean that this project can be invested?" Li Xiaoping couldn't help asking in the office.

"Yes, sure. In the morning, Lin Nan wanted to ask Yue Jun to come over to talk on the phone, but I pushed him off. After "Dying to Survive" is finished, he comes back and we can talk at the dinner table."

"Is "Dying to Survive" about to be finished?"

"It will be finished within this month, and then we will take a break before we start shooting "The Wandering Earth". The props production at the Aerospace Science and Technology Group will not be completed until the end of this month."

After Wang Changtian finished speaking, without waiting for Li Xiaoping to respond, he started to order business again: "Contact Su Lun and tell her the result. Ask her to cooperate with the production department and give me a budget within a week."

"Okay, Mr. Wang."

...

When they were transferred to the hospital to take the scenic spot, Lin Nan received a call from Han Sanping in the car, and then he knew about La Peikang being criticized.

To be honest, he felt a little sympathetic to the latter, who almost took the blame for the loss of assets; but he had to take the blame for the other things!

If you want to say that Han Sanye is "notorious" in Hollywood, it is because Zuoshan Diao specifically "made a move" on Hollywood's imported blockbuster films.

But La Peikang became famous there this time only because of the joke "The Great Wall", so that he himself became a joke.

After this time, many big companies in Hollywood knew what was going on.

In their eyes, compared with Han Sanping, the threat index of the current chairman of China Film Group has undoubtedly fallen to the bottom - the "Great Wall" representing Chinese culture was ruined by the Hollywood team! Doesn't China Film Group review Hollywood scripts? Or do they approve of it? !

In the ward, the camera position had been set up before Lin Nan and his group arrived.

His face was sickly pale, his eyelids were abnormally red, his lips were cracked, pale, and scabby, his face was yellow and thin, and his hair and beard were abnormally messy... This is Wang Chuanju's look at the moment.

Because he hadn't slept for a long time, his trance-like mental state was extremely consistent with that of a terminally ill patient, but his consciousness was absolutely clear.

"After this shot is finished, you can go back to sleep early." Lin Nan joked with a smile.

"Director Lin, I thought so too. Have a full meal before going to bed, haha..."

Wang Chuanju was lying on the hospital bed, with a completely sick look, and a trachea inserted in his nose. He was already in a state of immersion when he spoke, and he looked very weak.

"Okay, everyone get ready."

As Lin Nan's voice sounded, Wang Chuanju immediately closed his eyes, Xu Zheng was in place, Ni Yi was in place, and the lights, cameras... were all in place.

"3...2...1, action!"

"Lao Lu? Lao Lu..." Ni Yi's voice sounded, and the sound engineer stared at the sound recording effect on the scene rigorously.

"Well, well..." In the camera, Lv Shouyi, played by Wang Chuanju, woke up in a daze.

…

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

“How did it become like this?”

“There is no medicine… so… that’s it.” The voice was very light and trembling, as if he had no strength, but he was still forcing himself to keep a smile.

The camera became quiet, giving a close-up of Wang Chuanju’s face. His expression changed several times. He wanted to cry, but he held back. He wanted to laugh, but he couldn’t.

“Come on, the wound on the second bed has been cleaned. Family members, please go out.”

As several guest female doctors and nurses entered the scene, the wife played by Ni Yi numbly got up and walked out, and Xu Zheng, who played Cheng Yong, followed;

As he walked out, he watched Lv Shouyi’s actions - the latter stuffed the towel at the head of the bed into his mouth, bit it, and even gave him a look that said “it’s okay”.

The camera turned, and Cheng Yong saw the “wound” on Lv Shouyi’s upper body through the glass window on the ward door. He couldn’t bear to look at it and was scared.

Sitting in the corridor, Cheng Yong, played by Xu Zheng, was restless as he listened to the howling and painful wails in the ward;

Ni Yi was lifeless and numb to the extreme, because in this year, she had gotten used to it, to the point of numbness and loss of emotional perception, and she would just hold on for one day.

Her performance completely matched Xu Zheng, and the two characters formed a sharp contrast.

Lin Nan felt that he could really work with Ni Yi more in the future, because the latter's performance really satisfied him.

The hospital scenes were filmed until five o'clock in the afternoon. After this plot, Cheng Yong, who was already the owner of a textile factory, was awakened again by the sympathy, compassion and sense of responsibility in his heart.

He was not the "God of Medicine" a year ago, and he is still not the "God of Medicine" now.

But from this moment on, he wanted to try, as a small individual, to try to do what the "God of Medicine" could do!

…

On the morning of the 7th, the crew filmed the scene where Ni Yi was informed by the doctor that the medicine was no longer effective for Lü Shouyi, and the scene where she agreed to undergo a bone marrow transplant despite the slim chance of success.

In the afternoon, the crew filmed the scene where Lü Shouyi was undergoing chemotherapy and the scene where he committed suicide by jumping off a building; thus, Wang Chuanju had completely finished filming.

On the 8th, in a residential building, Lin Nan filmed a scene where a group of terminally ill patients came to mourn Lu Yiyi. Cheng Yong, played by Xu Zheng, also left money for orphans and widowed mothers. At this point, Ni Nai is also finished.

The content of the shooting on the 9th was the scene where Cheng Yong reunited the team from a year ago, except that Lu Yiyi and Huang Mao were missing... He set the price of the medicine at 500 yuan and used the money to save people...

Perhaps he himself did not realize that he had become the "god of medicine" in the eyes of all patients!

From the 10th to the 13th, it was another immersive work, and the entire crew felt physically exhausted; but by the morning of the 14th, everyone relaxed a lot.

Because Director Lin Da announced the holiday again the night before, this time the holiday will be two and a half days, from the afternoon of the 14th to the 16th, and work will start again on the 17th.

After the morning's shooting, Lin Nan and Han Jia'er took the high-speed train back to Beijing with their assistants. As for how to arrange it for others? Of course it's at your own convenience.

"Tomorrow Tudou will officially release the prospectus, and I have to go there early in the morning for a meeting. The day after tomorrow is the launch ceremony and large-scale media conference of the Pingyao International Film Festival. I am a co-sponsor and have to attend."

Lin Nan smiled and explained to Han Jianu. Before the other party could respond, her cell phone rang. It was Han Sanping's.

A few minutes later, I saw classmate Xiao Han spreading his hands towards Lin Nan with a look of helplessness:

"My dad said he would take me to the launch ceremony of the Pingyao International Film Festival the day after tomorrow and asked me to go back to the capital with you."

"Haha, you didn't tell him your itinerary yesterday?"

"No."

…

Potato.

The day of the IPO was finally coming. Wang Wei did not suppress his inner excitement at all, and it was all on his face.

"Mr. Wang, we have finalized the decision. Tomorrow morning, Director Lin, Director Wang and Wanda's President Liu will come in person, while Penguin and Weibo will send their vice presidents."

"Yes, I understand. What about law firms, accounting firms, and ICBC as the sponsor?"

"I also received a reply and will arrive on time."

"Okay, all the information will be checked again this afternoon and sealed before tomorrow morning."

…

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan and Han Jia'er left the high-speed rail station. The person who came to pick up the car was still Miss Liu.

"Lin Nan, ICBC has already paid part of the funds. It is said that the property rights certificate will be issued before the end of the month, and then the final part will be settled..."
