That year Huayu

"Han Zi'ang, senior driver, the Transportation Committee of the Third District of the Capital reminds you: there are tens of millions of roads, safety is the first priority. If driving is irregular, your loved ones will shed tears."

Before the filming started in the morning, when the actors were reading the script around, they were once again amused by this broadcast line with Chinese characteristics.

Lin Nan was also among them, laughing non-stop. But while he was watching Wu Gan and Zhang Ruoyun's performances and dialogues, he was still multitasking, thinking about "The Blind Road".

Liu Yifei just called last night and talked about Li Yang's new movie. Because the latter only contacted Hongxingwu yesterday afternoon and decided to sign the investment agreement this morning.

To be honest, Lin Nan admired Li Yang from the bottom of his heart.

It took a director 15 years to complete the "Blind Series Trilogy". This kind of perseverance and persistence is something that few people in the industry can achieve, especially when this type of film really does not make money.

"I have to ask Director Wang for help again! Let him give me a cost price, or even a fracture?" Lin Nan muttered in his heart and couldn't help but laugh.

For a movie with such a small cost and high probability of no hope of making money, it is difficult to find a distributor.

After all, the cost of film distribution is not low. If you choose to split the bill with the box office, the distributor will have to lose money; but even if you pay the distribution fee separately, compared to the production cost, it is still a sky-high price!

After reading the script for more than half an hour, everyone began to prepare for today’s scene:

The "Doomsday Project Carrier Vehicle" designed and produced by the Aerospace Science and Technology Group is about to be unveiled. Zhang Ruoyun and Zhao Jinmai will drive this vehicle to secretly leave the capital's underground cities and shelters.

Of course, these scenes will all be shot in a green screen studio.

All exterior scenes and all shots, without exception, must be completed by the special effects team of Tiangong Color, trying their best to achieve the greatest degree of reality.

Therefore, the bulk of the cost of the entire "Wandering Earth" naturally falls on special effects production. But in other words, Tiangong Color can also recover the cost for Lin Nan in advance, and then the profit part.

Performances without physical objects in a green screen studio always look so comical and funny when viewed live;

Lin Nan stood behind the monitor, smiling and looking away from Zhang Ruoyun and Zhao Jinmai. He looked at the scorer and made a starting gesture.

"All units are preparing, on the morning of April 18th, the first scene of the first scene, action!"

…

capital.

Liu Yifei, who had just signed the contract and left the company, turned around and received a call from Zhou Xun.

One originally wanted to be lazy, and the other was seducing. Well, the two of them hit it off immediately and made an appointment to go out for coffee.

"The filming of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" will be completed at the end of this month, and I will finally be liberated; it took 9 months of filming from late July last year to now!"

"Thank you for your hard work. Come and have a drink." Liu Yifei pinched the handle of the cartoon ceramic cup, picked it up, and touched it with Zhou Xun with a smile.

"Cheers." After taking a sip, Zhou Xun asked about the business: "Yifei, when are you going to sign up?"

"Sign up? Has it started?"

In just one second, Miss Liu realized that Brother Xun should be talking about the Venice International Film Festival.

"Well, the call for films for Asia started on the 15th the day before yesterday." Zhou Xun said with a speechless face.

Looking at the other party's expression, Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh out loud and joked:

"You have no hope. Why are you in a hurry? Besides, you don't have to be so anxious to sign up for Lin Nan's movie from the beginning. After all, he won the Golden Lion Award."

When Zhou Xun heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes:

"There is no hope for the single award, what about the group award? It's not bad if I leave my name. You are getting arrogant now. Why, do you want to postpone it until June 30, the last day?"

"Hehe, that's not true." Miss Liu smiled and denied it.

Sometimes, some things are really careless and come as they are said. No, as soon as Liu Yifei finished speaking, a call came in.

"Yue Jun?"

Zhou Xun glanced at the caller ID and read out loud. At the same time, Liu Yifei also answered the phone in confusion, "Brother Yue Jun, what's the matter with the call?"

"Yifei. The film selector from the Asian region of the Venice International Film Festival contacted me and wanted to visit Director Lin about "Marriage Story."

Director Lin can't leave the set, and he wants to meet you as the producer. Do you want to meet me? In fact, you don’t have to show up, just give them the copy. "

"You came straight here?" Liu Yifei said in surprise.

"The outside world knows that a feature film was released last year. We did not go to Berlin and declined Cannes. Venice must have understood what it meant." Yue Jun explained with a chuckle.

Liu Yifei nodded and silently began to consider whether to meet the person in charge of film selection. After all, others came to invite her in person.

Zhou Xun on the side was winking, winking at Miss Liu, and mouthing: "Go."

"Okay then, what time is it?"

"Of course I'm pressed for your time." Yue Jun responded rather conceitedly.

"Then let's go to Lin Nan Film Studio in the afternoon, how about it?"

"Of course, I'll get back to you later."

After the call was hung up, Zhou Xun laughed out loud: "Okay, now I can arrange my schedule in advance. I will fly to Venice Lido Island at the end of August, and I can work and take a vacation at the same time. It's great to think about it!"

"Look at you, come with me in the afternoon?" Liu Yifei invited jokingly, and then waved to the waiter. She wanted another small cake.

"No problem, accompany producer Liu for a trip."

...

In a blink of an eye, four days passed quickly. The most popular news on the Internet is that Guo Fucheng married an Internet celebrity.

Many old Hong Kong stars who have retired from the circle also came out in full force and appeared in front of the media again; the sense of age was simply full.

At the same time, the tense atmosphere of the May Day period was fully revealed, and the previous pessimism in the industry was also swept away.

Because as of yesterday, the 20th, several Hollywood blockbusters have been withdrawn and cooled down one after another.

The first is "King Kong: Skull Island", in which Jing Tian plays the second female lead and has a lot of scenes. It successfully ended its release in the mainland film market with a box office of 1.2 billion.

The second is "Fast and Furious 8", which was released for 7 days and the total box office closed at 2.35 billion, and the daily box office dropped to just over 20 million...

So far, all the domestic films in the May Day period have breathed a sigh of relief? !

"Today, all morning, it's all news about the opening of the Houston International Film Festival. Is this film festival preparing to expand its influence in the Chinese film industry?"

In the face of Zhang Ruoyun's jokes while eating while holding the rice bowl, everyone in the crew smiled and nodded in agreement.

"There is a lot of traffic, so there is a press release. You just need to stay up late tonight to watch the news and see which domestic popular and high-traffic artists are on the red carpet.

North American film festivals are so bored that they do these things. There are no idiots in the domestic media. How could they report on an unknown film festival for no reason?"

Wu Yi was frank and directly exposed the appearance in one sentence: someone is issuing press releases on a large scale.

"Let's wait and see tomorrow, haha... Oh, by the way, Director Lin, when will the two big stars arrive? We are still waiting for autographs and photos."

Seeing Lin Nan coming in from outside the studio, Zhang Ruoyun immediately asked. Then, Zhao Jinmai also nodded hurriedly. She was also waiting for a photo!

"Matt Damon will arrive on the 26th; as for the other one, it will be later because he has fewer shots." Lin Nan smiled and didn't hide it.

Since they first knew that Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio would guest star in "The Wandering Earth" a few days ago, the crew was very excited and looking forward to it.

If it weren't for Lin Nan, they would basically never have any intersection with those two people in their lives!

"Director Lin, your lunch, hurry up." After getting a positive answer, a group of people remembered to remind the director to have lunch.

Lin Nan just went out to answer a phone call. He decided not to go back to attend the premiere of "Ip Man 4"; because running around is too troublesome, Yue Jun will do it for him.

...

This book has been updated recently in ##六@@九@@@书@@吧!! Update!

"I heard that the film selector from Venice went to Lin Nan Films to meet Yifei and took away the copy? It seems that there is something to look forward to in September. After all, there will be no problem in being shortlisted. When are you going to confront Lin Nan?"

"Of course, when the registration starts, he is now filming "The Wandering Earth"; when he starts working on special effects in the second half of the year, he will also do the post-production of "Dying to Survive" at the same time. There is no point in telling him about this in advance, it will only add to his burden."

Hearing Han Sanping's question, Ren Zhonglun answered without hesitation.

Although the big domestic directors look down on the Shanghai International Film Festival, it is the biggest stage that "Dying to Survive" can go to.

In addition to the favors in Shanghai, Ren Zhonglun is sure that Lin Nan will never have any resistance, because it is all for the good of the movie.

"That's right. He hasn't even finished post-production yet, but he suddenly told him that he wanted to win an award, and it was the Shanghai International Film Festival. When filming and post-production are inevitable, there will be distractions, distractions, and even laziness? After all, those who know know, they will definitely be shortlisted, and even..."

Han Sanping nodded and said affirmatively. He and Ren Zhonglun had a meeting in the bureau this morning, so they could sit together and chat and laugh now.

"To be honest, I was quite surprised by Zhang Yimou's decision to give up. Is he scared or afraid, or is he not energetic enough?"

Ren Zhonglun was talking about Zhang Yimou's active rejection of Disney's invitation to him to compete for the director of "Mulan" yesterday, which he heard from Zhang Hongsen today.

"Who knows, anyway, he refused. But didn't Chen Kaige and the others accept it? There will be something to see when the time comes, but don't let outsiders brush it off."

……

Seoul Film and Television Base, "Shadow" crew

Although Zhang Mo was a little surprised and regretful at first about her father's rejection of Disney, she has now figured it out and accepted it.

Especially when Zhang Yimou himself explained the reason, she understood it even more, but also felt more uncomfortable and upset.

"... It's not because of the criticism of "The Great Wall"... In my opinion, a Disney movie is not as important as my cooperation with Huanxi...

How much time will the former require? How much benefit can it bring to our family? With this time and energy, Huanxi can protect me and ensure that I earn more...

And at the end of the year, I still have to be busy directing the performance of the flag-receiving ceremony... For me, the Disney project is undoubtedly a loss that outweighs the gain.

I already have enough fame and honor, I don’t need any more! Now, I only think about two things, that is to earn as much family business as possible in the future, and to pave the way for you..."

In less than a year, Zhang Yimou's changes made Zhang Mo feel scared.

Especially during this period, the rapid change and firmness of the former's attitude and concept made her, a daughter, feel a little scared, fearing that Zhang Yimou would have some psychological and mental problems!

…

Time flies, and the Capital International Film Festival is closing as soon as it is said to be closing.

And the so-called large-scale ancient costume strategy drama "Huang Quan·Yi Tianxia" also announced the list of all main creators.

It is indeed as advertised. It is indeed a gathering of celebrities and stars. At a glance, they are all familiar faces on the screen. It completely gives people the feeling that this drama will definitely be a top quality product.

The partnership between Chen Kun and Ni Na has undoubtedly once again caused a huge heated discussion on the Internet. The amount of topics and popularity among the stars seems to have remained high...

light.

"Director Wang, Su Lun said that the other roles can be completely finalized by the beginning of next month at the latest. In addition, she also invited Xu Zheng to make a cameo, and the latter also agreed."

"Then let's wait until it's completely decided before announcing it to the public. By the way, you can confirm their schedules with Jingtian Studio and Lei Jiayin Studio, and then set a specific start time with Su Lun..."

While Guangguang was calculating the specific start date, Happy Mahua also successfully completed the draft of the script - "Li Cha's Aunt".

"Song Yang called back from the crew and it will be completed in a few days. He is asking, should we start preparing "Li Cha's Aunt" immediately or wait?"

"Let's wait until they finish filming and come back. At least during the location scouting period, he and Allen will have to make adjustments first, and then he will have to help with the casting...

I also have to go talk to Director Lin, no, Director Lin is filming a movie... You and Yan Fei should go and discuss with Director Yue to see what Lin Nan Pictures wants to do and whether they want to participate in the investment. "

Zhang Chen gave instructions to Peng Damo while flipping through the script.

"Yes, yes. There is also the matter of schedule. "Shameful Iron Fist" only takes about a month to complete post-production. Should we schedule it for the National Day release? Or go directly to the Lunar New Year release?"

"National Day stall or Lunar New Year stall? It's really hard to choose."

Zhang Chen muttered, and couldn't decide for a while, but "Shameful Iron Fist" will definitely go to one of these two schedules.

However, these two schedules already have big directors, including Feng Xiaogang in the National Day slot and Chen Kaige in the Lunar New Year slot!

"How about this? By the way, you can consult with Director Yue and see which one they recommend. After all, they have much more experience than us.

Let’s see in the end, are you competing with Feng Xiaogang, or are you competing with Director Chen Da in the same period? One is "Youth" and the other is "The Legend of the Demon Cat". "

Zhang Chen nodded and affirmed. Not to mention, he was a little excited right now.

Because what if "The Shameful Iron Fist" really kills a movie by a great director? That would be so interesting!
