That year Huayu

New Year's Day holiday, first day.

"Let the Bullets Fly", which has been released for more than half a month, actually surpassed "If You Are the One 2" at the Japanese box office.

The film industry couldn't accept it for a while.

There was a time when Feng Xiaogang’s movies were synonymous with the Lunar New Year movies!

Now, being knocked to the ground by Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly"?

"Director Feng Xiaogang has lost his position in the Lunar New Year period..."

"It's not that "If You Are the One 2" is bad, but "Let the Bullets Fly" is too strong!"

"During the Lunar New Year, director Jiang Wen is crowned the new king..."

…………

Lin Nan flipped through movie information and could see his name from time to time.

The movie "New Shaolin Temple" is about to be released, starring all big names.

During the promotion, Liu Dehua and Fan Bingbing were inevitably asked about "The Thief".

“When I received the casting notice, I was confused and so excited. It was Director Lin’s movie!

Facts have also proved that it is a great honor for me to participate in "Thieves", which has a box office of 900 million! Ha ha……"

Fan Bingbing answered with gratitude, looking very sincere.

When it was Andy Lau's turn to be interviewed, it turned into a box office issue.

"Don't mess with me! Although I think "New Shaolin Temple" is great, there are so many people like Jackie Chan, me, Bing Bing, and Ting Feng.

But if you ask me if I am confident that "New Shaolin Temple" will catch up with "Thieves" at the box office, I am definitely lying..."

Media reporters really can’t fault this answer.

After all, "Let the Bullets Fly", which is currently doing great at the box office, is basically destined to be unable to catch up with "Thieves."

Wu Gan sat silently on the edge and kept smiling. No reporter asked him about "The Thief". Human relationships are warm and cold, very realistic...

…………

The last employees of Tiangong Colors who stayed on the "Legend of White Snake" crew are back.

This also means that the movie is officially finished.

"They are really good at it. As soon as they finish filming, they ask when the special effects will be finished. They look like they are waiting for the release to make money..."

Yue Jun complained in front of Lin Nan with contempt in his tone.

"How long does it actually take?" Lin Nan asked.

"About three months."

"Then just tell them."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Yue Jun smiled slyly.

"I just informed them over there, and guess what? They asked that this time also be kept secret!"

"oh?"

Last time I asked to keep the cost of the special effects secret, this time I asked to keep the production time of the special effects secret.

Lin Nan could roughly guess Yang Zai's purpose.

"This kind of person always follows some crooked ways..."

Since the customer asked for it, Tiangong Color just did it. After all, there was no reason to refuse.

However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Nan still asked the special effects team to do a good job in recording.

…………

Everyone in the industry was shocked by the generosity of the new picture.

In order to promote "Thirteen Hairpins", Zhang Weiping revealed to the media the salary of the leading actor Bell.

20 million US dollars!

This remuneration is converted into domestic currency, which is more than 120 million!

As soon as the news came out, I finally knew where the 600 million yuan production cost came from.

The romantic hero got one-fifth!

"Isn't this too expensive?!"

Liu Yifei sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding her laptop, and said with a look of astonishment.

This salary is ten times hers.

"I only found out in the past two days. Choosing Bell was just Zhang Weiping's second best choice."

Lin Nan said casually.

"What do you mean?" Miss Liu asked blankly.

"They found Leon first, haha..."

After hearing this, Liu Yifei understood, "How much did he pay?"

"Twenty-five million US dollars, 5% global share."

"That producer must have been scared off." Liu Yifei said with a slightly teasing tone.

Lin Nan nodded, it was indeed true.

He could imagine that stingy Zhang Weiping's expression must have been as if he had eaten a fly when he heard the quotation.

…………

The post-production of "Star Luck" is about to be completed.

Whether it is the shooting process or post-editing, Lin Nan spent as much energy on this film as any other commercial film.

The employees were all joking, saying that Lin Nan could try to win the best actor award at the film festival with this movie...

The outside film market.

After "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded 600 million, the daily box office growth finally dropped to 10 million.

If it maintains this trend, it is likely to hit 700 million before it is released.

Looking at "If You Are the One 2" again, the total box office has reached 400 million, but it has shown its decline in advance.

You should know that it was released a week later than "Let the Bullets Fly", but the daily box office at this time is the same, both 10 million.

It’s obvious who wins and who loses.

Lu Chuan is quite capable of doing things. He probably got the money and is a little bit arrogant.

He actually imitated Zhang Yimou and chanted the slogan "Give newcomers a chance" and prepared to conduct a nationwide audition for the role of Yu Ji in "The King's Feast".

This is a joke to many colleagues. Lin Nan estimated that this joke was absolutely true.

Every year in January and February, there are two things that attract the most attention in the entertainment industry.

One is the box office of the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival movies, and the other is the art exam.

Since Lin Nan graduated from graduate school, he has escaped from the sea of ​​suffering.

Originally, Nortel planned to recruit Guo Fan this year, but who knew that he would be sent to the crew of "Pacific Rim", and the school's plan came to nothing.

Although registration for the undergraduate art exam has not yet started, and there is no news about the graduate exam, some people will already be admitted by default.

For example, Zhou Dongyu, the murderer.

For example, Han Sanping's daughter is going to take the postgraduate entrance examination for directing across schools and majors.

For these people, the threshold is really too low. It’s as if it doesn’t exist. They can pass it easily...

…………

Not two days after the New Year's Day holiday, the review results of "Painted Skin 2" were announced on the official website of the Film Bureau.

"Painted Skin 2, written by director Lin Nan and directed by director Wu Ershan, has passed the screening review and received a release permit!"

""Painted Skin 2" is very likely to be released in the first half of the year..."

…

Lin Nan was taking a call from Han Sanping.

"This time it's still the Children's Bureau who said hello, otherwise those people would really have to give you a month to 'review' you!"

"I was worried about this before, and it really made me guess." Lin Nan complained.

"Some people are just pretending not to see it. If your name is in the director's column, there will be no such thing. Okay, let's set the schedule as soon as possible..."

"Well, I understand."

To be honest, for the movie "Painted Skin 2", Lin Nan is indeed planning to choose a good and big schedule.

The movie quality of "Painted Skin 2" is definitely adequate, and he knows this.

"May Day stall? Summer stall? Or National Day stall?"

…………

The much-anticipated "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" held its opening ceremony in Jinling.

Media from all walks of life rushed to Jinling.

But then, a very interesting piece of gossip spread in a small area.

"Are you sure?"

Lin Nan didn't believe what Yue Jun said.

"It's true. If we had known earlier, we would have made the first move. Director Zhang will make the movie first, and we will make a TV series later. We will definitely make money..."

Lin Nan just wanted to say at this moment: Zhang Weiping is so awesome!

He slapped Zhang Yimou's face hard.

Zhang Yimou fell in love with the novel "Thirteen Hairpins" a long time ago and wanted to make it into a movie.

But in order to avoid being preempted by the TV series of the same name, he bought the film and television adaptation rights.

The original author is also a celebrity in the industry. He had communicated with Zhang Yimou before and wanted to buy back the copyright of the TV series.

Zhang Yimou was easy to talk to, and he immediately agreed and promised that after the movie version of "Thirteen Hairpins" is released, the copyright deal can be completed.

Everything was agreed upon originally, but who knew that Zhang Weiping secretly sold the TV series rights of "Thirteen Hairpins" at a high price behind Zhang Yimou's back...

At the start of the movie, when the original author asked about it with dissatisfaction, Zhang Yimou knew for the first time what had happened, and he was also the last to know.

"I heard that Director Zhang's face was livid at that time. Fortunately, Screenwriter Yan also saw the clues and didn't ask further questions..."

"and after?"

"After the launch conference, screenwriter Yan left immediately. After that, the director and the producer probably had a quarrel..."

Lin Nan nodded. Zhang Weiping was seeking his own death and didn't take Zhang Yimou seriously at all.

Thinking about it, there shouldn't be much grass left on the camel's back, and it will soon reach its limit...

…………

The Berlin Film Festival has announced the shortlist for the competition section.

None of the several Chinese-language films sent from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan were spared, and the whole army was wiped out.

At this moment, everyone thought of Lin Nan's "The Fault in Our Stars" again.

If I had agreed to go to Berlin, I would have been the only Chinese-language film on the shortlist now!

We won't end up in a situation where the entire army is annihilated...

Currently, only Lin Nan and Liu Yifei know that "The Fault in Our Stars" is going to be sent to the Cannes Film Festival.

They are not prepared to announce it in advance. If something goes wrong, it will be a shame!

After the Tang people urged several visits, Yue Jun took some time off and flew to Hengdian.

After all, "Bu Bu Jing Xin" also has 40% of the company's investment, so it still needs to be taken seriously.

"Mimi, the crew has informed us that we have to follow the promotion for the next half month, especially Mango Channel."

"Gong Lock Heart Jade" became a star when it first aired, and it was Mango's Golden Eagle Theatre. This is very good news.

Yang Mi was watching the news about "Bu Bu Jing Xin". The two TV series were destined to be tit for tat.

"By the way, if the media asks you about "Bu Bu Jing Xin" in interviews, you have to be careful with your answers."

Zeng Jia reminded.

The other actors in the cast of "Gong Lock Heart Jade" are okay, but Yang Mi is a bit special.

After all, she is from Shanhai Media, and Lin Nan Pictures is one of the producers of "Step by Step", so she is afraid of encountering some difficult questions...

Yang Mi came back to her senses and nodded, "I understand."

In Yang Mi's view, the friendship established during the filming of "Sword and Sword III" has been completely wiped out...
