That year Huayu

After holding on for eight days, "The Other Side" was finally abandoned by all domestic movie theaters on the afternoon of the 7th.

Even the cinemas owned by China Film and Huayi are unwilling to show this movie invested by their own companies.

Because every time a film is scheduled, it means a loss; there is no audience at all, and resources are wasted. It would be better to allocate the schedule and venue to other films.

The total box office of 24.22 million also undoubtedly illustrates a fact.

That is to say, this movie is the most money-losing commercial blockbuster in the history of Chinese-language films, the worst work by a major director, and the most truly shitty masterpiece since the dawn of the commercial blockbuster era in the millennium!

While the film and television industry was watching the jokes about "The Taiping Wheel", they also noticed the entertainment information that was trending.

"In the morning, actors Yang Mi, Yang Ying, Liu Shishi, Li Yifeng, Yang Yang and others gathered at Alibaba Pictures. All seven of them were among the top five in the voting for the starring role in the movie "Three Lives Three Worlds". This trip is suspected to be Came to set the angle for the movie.”

"Director Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and Shu Chang did not appear at Alibaba Pictures, which made many fans and fans feel regretful."

"According to analysis by senior industry insiders, the probability of director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei co-starring in an external film is extremely small.

In addition, it is not impossible that the Alibaba Pictures film "Three Lives Three Worlds" and its production team would not be in the eyes of Director Lin, so it was rejected by the three of them. "

…

In the afternoon, Lin Nan came directly to the company without staying at home.

As for Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, they were so noisy that they had already gone out to sing karaoke.

"The original screenwriter of "Yang Guifei" seems to have issued an article to 'denounce' the movie, saying that it was the result of the two great directors Zhang Yimou and Tian Zhuangzhuang, down to the ordinary crew members, and the entire production team working together to complete the bad "Yang Guifei". The process of "The Imperial Concubine".

Yue Jun walked into the office with two assistants, chatting and laughing.

"In eight days, the box office was 76.48 million. This movie really has only a few days left, and it is losing blood."

Lin Nan nodded and did not deny it.

Sometimes a certain director really can't decide whether a movie can be made well or not.

For example, the original cast of "The Lady of the Dynasty: Yang Guifei" was: Zun Long, Fan Bingbing, and Oguri Shun. Producer: Han Sanping.

But since the project was established in 2009, problems have continued to arise. Directors, actors, and scripts have been changed constantly, and then it has become the mess it is now, with all kinds of odors, and it is completely rotten.

"Director Lin, all the invitations have been counted and there is no one missing from the list."

The assistant around Yue Jun reported.

In Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's plan, the two of them would send invitations in person to a very small number of close friends and elders who live in the capital;

Lin Nan Pictures and Hongxingwu each sent half of the invitations for the remaining 99% of the guests. After all, Director Lin and Producer Liu also had limited energy.

"Well, okay, let's mail it out on time tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work."

"Director Lin, you are so polite. This is a happy event for the whole company."

Facing Lin Nan's tone of thanks, the two assistants were somewhat flattered.

After the two left, only Lin Nan and Yue Jun were left in the office.

"Director Lin, there are not a few media reporters downstairs, but more and more, hehe..."

Lin Nan was speechless when he heard this.

This group of people basically came here because of the "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" thing. Because they wanted to find Lin Nan, they had no choice but to come to the company to stay.

As for Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, it is even harder to see them. But if the paparazzi are lucky this afternoon, they should be able to "catch" these two people outside.

"Really...forget it, go tell them and respond to me, Yifei and Shu Chang, saying that we have never had that idea. There is no other reason, it is just that we simply have no idea."

Although Lin Nan looked down on the "crooked ways" of the people at Alibaba Pictures, he would not give them eye drops in front of the media, offend them for nothing, or say anything about not watching good movies.

"Okay, I'll go downstairs now."

After watching Yue Jun turn around and go out, Lin Nan was about to send an email to Tom when he was interrupted by the vibrating sound of his cell phone.

"Yan Fei?"

He answered the phone and asked with a smile: "What's wrong, Director Yan? Do you want to invite me to attend the press conference of "Charlotte Troubles"?"

"Director Lin, please don't dismiss me. I can't be called 'Director Yan' in front of you, haha..."

I'm calling you today because of something. Didn't our Happy Mahua make the first movie "Charlotte Trouble", and now some of our brothers are coming to us for help..."

Yan Fei started to talk in detail, while Lin Nan listened carefully.

This involves a practical problem in the industry, that is, many companies that specialize in dramas and theaters have a single profit method and always hover around the subsistence line.

After all, there are really not many people in China who are willing to go to theaters to watch plays. Very few.

But many plays, from a story perspective, can be adapted into movies. However, due to issues such as funding and resources, it is difficult for these drama companies to transform and cross industries.

Unfortunately, Happy Mahua is a "model student" in the transformation of the drama industry, and successfully hooked up with Lin Nan Pictures!

"So, you are saying that they want to ask Mahua for help to invest in and produce the play you mentioned and turn it into a movie?"

Lin Nan basically understood Yan Fei's intention in making this call. Who made him the major shareholder of Happy Mahua? If Mahua wanted to take this job, of course she had to talk to him.

"Yes. We are currently working on a script, and the cost is not high, no more than 15 million. Mr. Zhang and Damo have gone to promote it, so I can only tell Director Lin about this matter."

"Fifteen million? That's really not much. Are you optimistic about that drama?"

"I remember Director Lin said that no matter what kind of movie it is, the story is the foundation. As long as the story is not bad, and you control the cost and quality, and do a good job in publicity and distribution, there is a high probability that you will not lose money! Whether it is box office or copyright, it will always be Can maintain capital.”

Hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh, and Yan Fei actually answered him with his own words. Well, very convincing!

"Tell me the specific story and I'll listen."

"Director Lin and Producer Liu can watch this drama when they have time. It's a very good play, "The Donkey Gets Water", and it's about..."

Hearing this name, Lin Nan was already smiling in his heart; there are indeed many treasures in the drama industry.

The initial acquisition of 30% of the shares of Happy Mahua undoubtedly helped Lin Nan Pictures open up a route to dig treasures in the drama industry.

"You originally wanted to invest 5 million?"

"Yes, Director Lin. After all, we are all small companies. No matter how well-planned, movies are a high-risk industry, right?"

"The story is very good. It should be able to be made into a high-quality, low-budget film. Let's invest fully. The money is not much. If you don't want to invest fully, you can contact me if you have a small amount, and I will use it as support..."

Lin Nan was tempting like a fox.

When Yan Fei heard this, he immediately became excited: "Okay, okay, thank you, Director Lin. I will tell them later that if they know that Director Lin is willing to support, I am afraid they will be happy to death, haha..."

…

Taiyang Chuanhe.

Several senior agents gathered around Yang Ying, asking, analyzing, and discussing.

"I tried makeup and didn't give a clear answer. I just asked him to come back and wait for news? This is a bit hard to say."

"Baby, didn't you see any facial expression feedback from those directors?"

Yang Ying frowned, widened her eyes, and shook her head after a few seconds, "I'm confident in my appearance."

These words made everyone speechless. Who among the top actresses is ugly?

"Call Alibaba Pictures!"

Suddenly, someone shouted.

"Take that! It should be about "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom"."

At this moment, Yang Ying's heart was already lifted.

But in just 3 minutes, this heart fell again, and it fell to pieces!

"They said... the baby is not very suitable for "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom". They said that after working together on "The Ferryman", there will be opportunities in the future."

"You mean, I lost to Yang Mi or Liu Shishi?"

Yang Ying bit her lip and spit out a sentence.

"Among the three of you, Yang Mi is most likely to be the one. As for Liu Shishi? Haha."

"Don't take it too seriously, hasn't Brother Xiao Ming already negotiated for you the big IP movie "A Slight Smile Is Alluring"?"

"But here at Alibaba Pictures, this is a blockbuster produced by a Hollywood team!" Yang Ying was still unwilling to give in.

Just as a group of people were trying to persuade (flatter) Yang Ying, a senior executive came over.

"Inform Dongyu's agent and take her to Hong Kong Island immediately. Mr. Yang is waiting there."

"ah?"

Everyone realized what was happening instantly, including Yang Ying.

"Want to audition?"

"Are there movie resources over there?"

"Yes, Hong Kong film resources. Director Chen Kexin's company is one of the producers. Director Chen is also a producer and needs to audition! The only one in the company who meets the requirements is Dongyu, and she is a girl!"

When Yang Ying heard the word "mou girl", she subconsciously felt a little envious, but then she didn't care about it.

Because in her opinion, Zhou Dongyu is just a "hunting girl", not the kind of hunting girls like Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi!

Similar to the situation in Taiyang Chuanhe, the Tang people even sighed even more.

Although Liu Shishi's intention to wait until the contract expires and then leave Tangren has been clearly revealed, Cai Yinong still regrets that she was not selected by Alibaba Pictures. Because once selected, Tang people will also benefit a lot!

At this time, the inside of Jiaxing was completely different from the other two companies, and they were full of joy.

"I told you a few days ago that we have already reached the final stage of financing, and we are just a step away from the final step.

Today, Alibaba Pictures' "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" comes at the right time.

The heroine of this movie will definitely help us make up for the last bit and clear away the obstacles! "

Zeng Jia said to Yang Mi in high spirits, who also had a happy expression on her face.

…

Just as Lin Nan guessed, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were "caught" by the media.

Fortunately, both of them are old people, so the reporter's questions didn't bother them from beginning to end.

"The Hongxingwu side is also ready and will start sending invitations from tomorrow."

"Two or three days at most, we will probably have to stay in the headlines."

Lin Nan took the cake Liu Yifei brought to him and joked.

After Huang Xiaoming's wedding invitation was made public, it was listed on hot searches for a week. Even today, there are still many related topics being discussed on the Internet.

"Hehe, just stay here. Haven't you been mentally prepared for it already? If you wait until next month, you will probably have to stay longer."

Liu Yifei seemed to be thinking of the wedding, smiling innocently.
