That year Huayu

In six days, the box office of "The Founding of the Party" reached 150 million.

It is absolutely impossible to surpass "Let the Bullets Fly" with this data.

However, the decadence of domestic films in the film market in the first half of the year was completely wiped out.

The premiere of "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan" was held in the capital in a high-profile manner, with numerous industry insiders attending.

According to the plan, Wu Ershan returned to the capital with Huang Xiaoming and other main creatives.

The promotion of "Painted Skin 2" is completely over, and we are just waiting for the premiere and release in ten days!

…………

"Passengers" is a romance film with a science fiction background. As for the male and female protagonists, Lin Nan hopes that they will be big names who can win the role.

He is also an interstellar immigrant. Among the copyrights he bought, there is another one that is even more shocking. Lin Nan plans to wait a few more years and open it by himself!

"Let's decide on the male lead first."

Lin Nan took out his mobile phone and found the phone number.

He was originally going to call directly, but after thinking about it, what if the other party was at work? Finally, I sent a text message.

In the outside world, there are still many actors who are eagerly waiting for news from Lin Nan Pictures.

After all, the industry is fully aware of the movements of Lin Nan's five artists.

There are two women on the film crew, two men are also filming, and there is a newcomer. It is impossible to directly play the heroine!

In addition, it is said that Liu Yifei will not star, but will be the producer.

Isn’t this a ready-made opportunity? Unless an artist from Shanhai Media comes back from filming before filming starts.

Actors and agencies in the industry want to know the casting and filming date of "Passengers" to know if they have a chance.

The heavenly color results came out.

"how much?"

"Director Lin, which level do you want?"

Hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.

“Haha, yes, that’s it.

What is the price for the best level? "

“We have made detailed estimates for all the special effects shots in the movie.

If you want the best, the special effects cost for rendering is at least 150 million! "

Lin Nan nodded. This was much cheaper than the original "The Martian". New Line made him a lot of money!

Immediately afterwards, Lin Nan asked again: "Profit included?"

"It's all included."

"That's fine. Once they report the shooting costs to me, the project can be approved."

…………

"The Secret Fan of Snowflakes" is released.

This movie has been a hot topic in the entire film industry since its inception.

After all, there are so many same-sex themes, but none of them can be promoted and released in China with great fanfare.

But this "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" has done what other movies of the same type cannot!

The box office on the first day was 8 million!

This data has made this movie, in which two pairs of "comrades" played by Li Bingbing and Quan Zhixian in the Qing Dynasty and modern times respectively, become the focus of discussion on the entire Internet.

Netizens began to tease and complain.

“Where have you seen this kind of theme in the theater before?”

"Speaking of Liu Ye's original "Lanyu", at that time, the copyright was not even allowed to come in, let alone enter the theater..."

…………

Lin Nan has never seen this movie, but he discovered something shocking.

Whether it's the Internet media, film critics, or filmmakers in the industry.

These people's evaluations of "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" are surprisingly consistent: the story is touching, quiet in the midst of chaos, the actors are excellent, and there are surprises everywhere...

100% positive reviews, which is a bit scary!

The online reviews are not so weirdly unanimous, but huge controversy and strongly polarized reviews!

Men say it is boring, incomprehensible and unethical;

The women wiped away a lot of tears and were very moved...

The box office was 5.5 million on the second day and 3.5 million on the third day. In the three days of the first weekend, the box office revenue was 17 million.

On the fourth day, the daily box office dropped to around two million.

In just four days, the ending of "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" has been decided, with blood loss.

Lin Nan estimates that the final box office of this movie may not be as high as the $6 million invested!

Of the remaining movies in June, only one, Wang Jing's "The God of Wealth Inn", is even remotely gimmicky.

…………

"On July 1st, "Painted Skin 2" will be released simultaneously throughout Southeast Asia. I would like to set the premiere on June 29th."

Wu Ershan came to the company specifically to talk to Lin Nan about this matter.

"Yes, China Film and Wanda will help organize it."

Lin Nan nodded and said.

He didn't have much involvement in this movie. He could just go to the scene to support it and sit in the guest seats.

"Is there any news about the "Martial Arts" movie?"

As a film that competes head-on with "Painted Skin 2", Wu Ershan also focused on "Martial Arts".

"They will release it on July 4th, and the premiere will be on the 2nd."

Hearing this, Lin Nan felt relieved, "You can tell China Film and Wanda that the premiere should be bigger."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Nan ignored Wu Ershan's nod. He thought of something.

"Painted Skin 2" will definitely have a big impact on "The Founding of the Party" at the box office. I just hope Han Sanping doesn't suffer any internal injuries!

The budget for shooting costs has also come out.

"Director Lin, we can save a lot on the cost of actors this time.

But this part of the cost will also be used for the rent of China Film Digital Production Base, as well as the production of equipment designed by Aviation Science and Technology..."

Aviation Science and Technology was very fast. The team of 25 people completed all the designs in only ten days.

A large stack of drawings has been sent to a professional factory for props production...

"Just tell me how much."

"The initial budget is 80 million."

Lin Nan frowned and thought for a while, "Let's get it together."

The employee immediately understood the meaning, "The total budget adds up to 250 million."

"good."

…………

China Film Studio, small conference room.

Five people sat around a round table to discuss the investment allocation for "Passengers."

Although Lin Nan said that this movie cannot compare with the theme and artistic conception of "The Martian", it will never lose money.

He'll take the bumper ads.

Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, Wanda, Aviation Science and Technology, and Enlight are the only five companies.

Lin Nan and Han Sanping discussed whether to bring Shanghai Film with them.

To be honest, what happened with "Painted Skin 2" last time was so hurtful to Shanghai Film.

At least Wang Changtian told Lin Nan that he wanted to invest, but Guangguang had already approved several movie projects at that time and had no money!

Of course, this is all obvious and cannot be faked.

The final result of the discussion was that five companies were enough.

Maybe Ren Zhonglun will have opinions, but so be it.

After a morning of negotiation, the five people finally decided on the allocation plan for the investment amount.

"Lin Nan Pictures, 30%."

"China Film, 20%."

"Wanda, 20%."

"Light, 15%."

"Aviation Science and Technology, 15%."

…………

"To be honest, we are very willing to support domestic science fiction movies, especially space-themed movies. But so far, you are the only one who has come to us, Director Lin..."

After signing the investment agreement, the people from Aviation Industry Corporation of China shook their heads and spoke with emotion.

"There will definitely be more in the future. Not to mention others, I will definitely have movie plans in this area later! When the time comes, I will ask Aviation Science and Engineering for help."

Lin Nan patted his chest and said.

"Okay, as long as there are good science fiction projects, we will definitely provide technical support."

After the business talk was over, it was time to leave.

Lin Nan did not leave in a hurry, but pulled Wang Changtian and asked about "Jing Zhong Yue Fei".

"After so many years, it's embarrassing to talk about this drama about Yue Fei..."

Wang Changtian began to talk nonchalantly.

Lin Nan also felt a little uncomfortable. The director and screenwriter of this TV series are both from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

This project was also initiated there, and it started looking for investors several years ago.

But mainland film and television companies almost always refuse without saying a word.

A few companies agreed, but later, for no apparent reason, they reneged on their promises without even giving a reason.

Not long ago, this project was mentioned again, and everyone decided to jointly produce it. After all, the investment is quite large.

Just like that, I was handed a message...

Wang Changtian also did not believe in evil, so he directly sent an investment invitation to Lin Nan Pictures, and by the way, he also called China Film Group!

Just an idea: There is strength in numbers!

With so many big companies co-producing, who dares to cause trouble?

"There are so many roles. If you want any one, just tell me later. But Huang Xiaoming's role as Yue Fei cannot be changed."

Lin Nan nodded, that's for sure.

Huang Xiaoming received zero salary and brought money to join the team, and he was still under pressure from some people. This is incredible.

…………

Liu Dehua's call came back.

"Director Lin, I want to thank you very much for thinking of me this time, haha..."

Among all male actors, Liu Dehua's condition is definitely very good.

Thinking about "I Know Women's Hearts" at the beginning of the year, he looked and looked like someone in his thirties.

"What do you think, Brother Hua? Do you have a schedule?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.

Andy Lau had been obsessed with "The Martian" for a long time.

"Can you tell me when filming will start, and roughly when it will be completed."

Hearing this, Lin Nan had a bad premonition.

"What, Brother Hua has a drama date?"

Liu Dehua did not hide anything, "Yes, I will join the team at the end of October."

Hearing this, Lin Nan immediately felt relieved.

The actual shooting of "Passengers" won't take long, at most two months, maybe a month.

If we think about it slower, we can make the props and set up the studio in July, and the filming can be completed in August or September.

"The filming will start in mid-August at the latest, and it will be completed by the end of September. The location will be in the studio of China Film Digital Production Base."

"That's no problem. I'll come over to sign the contract later?"

"Okay, I'll treat Brother Hua to dinner then."

"Haha, thank you, Director Lin."

"By the way, Brother Hua, what's going on at the end of October?"

Lin Nan asked curiously.

"Treasure hunter..."

…………

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan smiled and shook his head.

At first, Andy Lau wanted to be an astronaut in "The Martian", but he missed it.

This time, let’s send him to space first and fall in love.

There will be opportunities later!

But thinking about the movie Liu Dehua was talking about, Lin Nan felt sad again.
