Chapter 1139 Director Selection: Chinese Heroine!

The production budget of 80 million yuan was half contributed by Guangguang and Wanda.

For ordinary first-tier actors in the circle, "Sewing Machine Band" is indeed a relatively high-quality film project.

In the eyes of second-tier artists, this resource can even be said to be top-notch. The only thing that was criticized may be Dong Chengpeng himself as the director.

Because of him, this movie has been rejected, resisted and bad-mouthed by countless fans and audiences on the Internet since the moment the project was publicly established.

Just after the crew of "Dying to Survive" finished shooting the first appearance of the role of the priest played by Jin Shijie, Wang Changtian called over, and it was a long sigh and worry.

"It can only be said that you reap what you sow, and there must be consequences for every cause." Lin Nan said with a smile to comfort him.

According to Dong Chengpeng, he was fully prepared, so he planned to complete all the work of casting, preparation and starting filming within two months, and then finish filming in another two months, and then go straight to the National Day file!

Light Media and Wanda are definitely supportive of this efficiency, and the only thing that makes them feel difficult and stressed is undoubtedly the big pit left by "The Pancake Man".

The biggest obstacle standing in the way of the box office is this problem.

Because they are not afraid of the audience finding faults and criticizing after watching the movie, they are afraid that the audience will not go to the theater at all and not even give it a chance.

"The people in the publicity department really can't think of a solution to this problem, even if it can slightly reduce the negative impact."

"Mr. Wang, you can think about it in a different way." Lin Nan smiled with a hint of meaning in his words.

"What's the idea?"

"First of all, it can be seen that he really wants to transform into a film director, and he does have some talent. And Guangguang is definitely a timely help this time. They know his problems, but they still resolutely invest in him.

So, you can completely put the box office second and put the "making money" first. Well, a thousand gold coins, unless he retires from the film industry immediately after filming this movie and no longer works as a director."

In an instant, Wang Changtian seemed to be enlightened, and suddenly realized that Lin Nan's words were correct!

With the current industry situation, Guangguang will definitely not be able to sign a hit director, because these people will definitely want to make their own capital and will not work hard for others.

However, Guangguang can definitely establish a deep friendship with "new" directors, such as Deng Chao, who was supported before.

And at this moment, Dong Chengpeng can undoubtedly become a transformed director like Deng Chao, naturally close to Guangguang, and continue to cooperate for a long time.

"You really gave me a good idea! I'll talk to him about long-term assistance in a while... When you come back, I will definitely treat you and Yifei to a big meal, haha..."

Looking at the hung up phone in his hand, Lin Nan was speechless for a moment. This is too rude, just hanging up?

"Director Lin, the transition scene is ready." Han Jianu's very formal report came from a distance.

The next scene is the quarrel between Cheng Yong and his wife and lawyer, and then they fight, and finally go to the police station. The next shot is Zhou Yiwei, the brother-in-law, who appears in anger and fights...

"Okay, then get ready."

When getting up from the director's chair, Lin Nan couldn't help but look at the busy streets outside the crew. Liu Yifei and Xing Aina have been out for an afternoon. It's about time for them to come back, right?

...

On the morning of the 17th, Wanjia Culture continued to lose money.

The previous surge lasted for nearly a month, and now it's plummeting, it will take at least two months, right?

However, compared to this incident, the film and television industry is more concerned about the "gossip" of LeTV.

Because the China Securities Regulatory Commission has announced that the investigation into LeTV will be completed before the end of next month, and will be dealt with strictly and severely afterwards.

As it involves more than 20 celebrity shareholders including Zhang Yimou, the industry is naturally "attracting everyone's attention", and everyone's mood of watching the fun is even more uncontrollable.

However, based on human nature analysis, perhaps apart from these 20 or so people, there are not many people in the film and television industry who hope that LeTV will have a good result? Well, the probability is very high, quite high!

Zhang Yimou Studio

"...I know Director Zhang just flew back last night after attending the North American premiere of The Great Wall, and he may need to rest;

But after thinking it over, I still feel that this gossip needs to be communicated to you, so that Director Zhang can be mentally prepared.

According to the internal information we have received, LeTV is very likely to be unable to be saved this time, and there is a 99% probability that it will be forced to delist and suspend trading... at the earliest next month, at the latest in April..."

Dong Ping was still talking on the phone, his tone was extremely serious and formal.

And Zhang Yimou, who just flew back from Hollywood last night, was completely unable to accept it at this moment, and even his mental state was a little dazed.

"The earliest is next month, the latest is April...but my shares are unlocked in September..."

Looking at Zhang Yimou's grim face and mumbling, Zhang Mo hurriedly shook his arm: "Dad?"

The latter woke up a little from his trance. He ignored his daughter and asked Dong Ping in a hoarse voice: "Is the inside information you mentioned credible? Is it possible..."

Zhang Yimou didn't finish his question, he swallowed it back, and Dong Ping didn't answer either. Both sides were silent for a few seconds, everything was said without words.

"I know, thank you."

Hearing this undisguised tired voice, Dong Ping immediately ended the topic, "Then I won't bother Director Zhang for now, and you don't have to take it too seriously, there's still a lot of time to go..."

After a while, the call was hung up, and Zhang Yimou looked at Zhang Mo helplessly, his voice even more hoarse, "Several hundred million stocks, along with the family assets of the past few decades, will soon be a pile of waste paper!"

"Dad, is there no way out?"

"If there was room, would Dong Ping have called me? And he told me to be mentally prepared..."

Zhang Yimou closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa. In an instant, his spine seemed to have been pulled out, and his limbs were so weak that they became limp.

But just half a minute later, he opened his eyes again and looked at Chen Ting beside him; he saw that his turbid pupils once again revealed a resolute look, "He's right, there's still a lot of time to go, I can hold on!"

Zhang Mo just looked at Zhang Yimou without making a sound to disturb him. She knew very well that the family's financial situation was probably worse than when she and Zhang Weiping parted ways. This can be seen from Chen Ting's face, which was also pale.

...

Oriental Film Metropolis, the crew of Pacific Rim 2.

People from Warner and Lionsgate have already rushed to the Capital Airport. Only Tom, who is the president of Crystal Pictures, has not left, so he has received much media attention.

"Are you sure you don't want to go with me to visit them?" Tom asked again to Jing Tian who came to see him off.

"No, I still have a lot of scenes to play today. Just bring my greetings to them, thank you." Jing Tian smiled sweetly and begged.

"Okay, then, we'll see you later. Oh, by the way, I also wish your The Great Wall a big hit in North America."

Waving to Jing Tian outside the car window, Tom immediately told the driver to set off for the high-speed rail station.

At the same time, the crew of "Dying to Survive" also finished the morning shooting ahead of schedule, and everyone was chatting about the premiere of "The Great Wall" in Los Angeles.

Jing Tian wore a black gauze dress and shone on the red carpet, which was extremely eye-catching. And Universal Pictures did not neglect the stage at all, with many big names and grand specifications.

So far, the final focus of "The Great Wall" has come to the official opening in 19 hours; but whether it is a dragon or a worm, there will be a clear answer in 42 hours.

"Let the hotel prepare the dinner in advance, Tom should be able to arrive around 5 to 6 pm." Lin Nan looked at the text message on the phone and instructed the assistant.

"Okay, Director Lin."

As soon as the assistant left, Liu Yifei came to Lin Nan with a smile:

"Boss Han just finished his makeup. You know what, he picked a good role as the chief surgeon. He looks majestic and cold, just like the chief physician of the oncology department.

The girls couldn't help but tease Boss Han, saying that he looked like he had killed many people... It was so funny, haha..."

"Oh my god, she didn't get scolded, did she?" Lin Nan was immediately happy when he heard it.

"She is being criticized by the ears right now."

"She deserves it!"

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_Bar released this novel for the first time.

Lin Nan was really laughing to death, but this role was indeed suitable for Han Sanping.

It was just hard for Chairman Ren. Among the three big guys, he was the only one who played a "low-class" role who used the magic oil.

In the afternoon, Wang Wei also called.

Tudou is scheduled to officially announce its prospectus to the public on the 15th of next month, and submit an IPO application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

By then, the shareholding information of Lin Nan, Wanda, Guangxian, Shu Chang, Luo Jin and others will be disclosed to the public in detail for the first time.

Looking back, it has been more than 5 years since Lin Nan took over Tudou's shares from those financial institutions at the end of 2011, and then increased his holdings, and then invited Wanda and Guangxian to enter the market.

After the revival, after more than 5 years of development, Penguin entered the market in the first round of financing, Weibo entered the market in the second round of financing... Tudou has finally come to this day: one month later, the IPO process was officially launched.

Looking back now, it was really not easy!

Lin Nan has withdrawn overseas funds many times, and Wang Changtian has collapsed many times. He gritted his teeth and survived.

Only Wanda, the big dog, took advantage of the real estate bubble, and everything related to money seemed to be indifferent, and taking money was like sprinkling water...

Big Wang even said a very "domineering" word: If Wanda invests exclusively, no project below 30 million, including those in the film and television industry, will be done!

...

Morocco, the crew of "Operation Red Sea".

Nearly half a month after the start of filming, the actors have "aged up" a lot.

Lu Yang and Guo Fan cooperated very well. The former was responsible for the control of the details of the shots, and the latter was more inclined to the overall operation of the general direction. The two of them together can be said to have tossed a group of actors hard.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning local time, when Guo Fan was directing the big scene shots, Lu Yang was sitting under a tent beside him, reading the script, surrounded by the logistics personnel of the Navy and the Navy and the police here.

Luo Jin and Jiao Junyan, who had no roles for the time being, were also resting comfortably on the side.

Unlike the crew members who didn't dare to disturb Lu Yang, the two of them immediately came over after seeing the script in his hand.

"Director Lu, this doesn't look like the script for Operation Red Sea?" Luo Jin made the judgment after just glancing at the thickness of the script.

"Well, definitely not."

While Lu Yang was speaking, he also waved the cover of the script in his hand towards the two of them, and the words ""Detective Chinatown 2"" struck Luo Jin and Jiao Junyan's eyes nakedly.

"'Detective Chinatown 2'?" Jiao Junyan exclaimed.

"Director Lu, you?" Unlike Jiao Junyan's shock, Luo Jin's reaction was much faster, and he had a bold guess.

Lu Yang didn't hide it, he immediately smiled and nodded:

"Well, that's right. After the overseas scenes of "Operation Red Sea" are completed, I will take over "Detective Chinatown 2". As for the few domestic scenes left, Guo Fan will finish them."

"Good guy, our director Lin really only shot the first part?" Luo Jin joked with a smile.

Lin Nan had mentioned this arrangement to the media a long time ago, but after the box office results of "Detective Chinatown" came out, everyone took it as a joke because the box office was so high.

"Are your words putting a lot of pressure on me?" Lu Yang said, half jokingly and half seriously.

"Director Lu, when I change your direction later, please ask Senior Luo Jin to NG a few more times or save a few more lines, haha..." Jiao Junyan fanned the flames just right.

"Well, that's a good idea, I can adopt it!"

…

Tom indeed brought an important piece of news to Liu Yifei, which was a big deal. So much so that Miss Liu's eyes were flashing with excitement and high morale.

"Mulan"!

"Crystal, Disney will reveal the "Mulan" project to the world within one or two months, and all creative team members, including the director, will also make global choices.

This is the only Asian character in the Disney Princess series and is sure to be released globally. The inside information I got is that they will be casting from Asians around the world, mainly Chinese, and it will be by invitation only.

The invited audition actors will mainly be concentrated in Asia, concentrated in China, South Korea, island countries, Singapore, Malaysia...

And the requirements are very high. The requirements for actors' personal image, influence, martial arts skills, strength, physical fitness, spoken English, etc. are all very demanding!

In addition, they plan to take one year to select the cast and form the team, and then at least half a year to prepare and train..."

As Tom continued to talk, Lin Nan could clearly notice that the light in Liu Yifei's eyes was getting stronger, and his aura was constantly rising, sharp, sharp, confident... breathtaking!

"Lin, I remember that the character 'Mulan' seems to be a Chinese heroine, right?" Tom turned his attention to Lin Nan.

"Well, yes, this news will make Chinese actresses go crazy!"

Lin Nan smiled and nodded. Because of this, once this project is announced, it must not be taken away by actresses from other countries!

After all, it is a global release. You can’t let actresses from South Korea or island countries play the roles and then release them globally, right? Will it even be released in mainland China? !
