Chapter 191 Lin Nan Participates
Tom went to see "The Forbidden Kingdom" and kept saying it was good after he came back.
The better the reviews abroad, the worse it will be in China. Who said this is a film and a movie? If the balance is not good, the reviews on both sides will be polarized.
William Morris once again invited Liu Yifei to sign an agent contract because of "The Forbidden Kingdom".
This caused a heated discussion in the domestic media. If Liu Yifei agreed this time, she would smoothly go to Hollywood.
Miss Liu refused the invitation for the second time and thanked the other party for his recognition.
Many actresses are very envious. Although they are almost the same age, or even the same age, their status is already a world of difference.
"Mi Mi, you have been reading this news for the whole morning. Are you not going to the "Red Mansion" crew?"
Zhang Xiaofei asked while packing her backpack.
She is going to try her luck in various crews. Now she is a junior. So far, she has only participated in two unknown movies. It would be a lie to say that she is not anxious.
In the dormitory, Yang Mi has the best development. She has acted in TV and movies. Among all the students in school, she is also outstanding.
Of course, this excludes the freshman Jing Tian. Wow, he has worked with two big directors before entering the school.
Yang Mi looked back at Zhang Xiaofei, "Where are you going to audition?"
"I'm going to Qingying Studio to have a look."
"What's good there? Didn't you try TV dramas?"
"I did, and I sent my resume to Tangren. I was rejected in the first audition..."
"Tangren, "Chinese Paladin III"?"
"Yes, that's it. Aren't the girls in school talking about it? I'm leaving first. Remember to return to the crew." Zhang Xiaofei said, carrying his bag and went out.
Yang Mi looked at the computer in front of her, which was the news that Liu Yifei rejected William Morris's agency.
"Chinese Paladin, Hu Ge?"
Suddenly thinking of something, Yang Mi took out her mobile phone, found a number and dialed it.
...
Recently, Hu Ge's notices have increased rapidly, and the quality has also improved a lot, which makes Cai Yinong more determined to make a movie.
Hu Ge, who had just come back from shooting a magazine and was taking a nap in the company, was woken up by a phone call.
"Xiao Yang, why did you think of calling me?"
The two had worked together on Liao Zhai, played Ning Caichen and Xiao Qian, and were old acquaintances.
"Lao Hu, congratulations, Painted Skin is amazing."
"Haha, thank you. You haven't said anything yet."
On the phone, Yang Mi paused for two seconds before speaking, "I want to ask, how is the casting for your company's Chinese Paladin III going?"
Hu Ge looked outside the lounge and closed the door.
"Do you have any ideas? I remember you play this game?"
"Well, tell me what's going on now."
"The female role hasn't been decided yet. Originally, you were in the online fan vote, but didn't you sign for Red Mansions? Director Li and the others skipped you."
"Please recommend me, and I'll find time to come for an audition." Yang Mi said quickly.
"What about Red Mansions?"
"That's easy, I'll communicate with the company..."
...
Yang Mi hung up the phone and searched for the online vote for Chinese Paladin III. She was indeed at the top.
The role of Qingwen is definitely not as good as that in "Chinese Paladin III".
As for convincing Li Shaohong and the company to let them agree to let her go there at the same time, Yang Mi felt that she still had some confidence, after all, it has been so many years.
The people from China Film have already returned to China, and Lin Nan wants to stay for two more days.
Yue Jun called him and invited "Painted Skin" to the Hundred Flowers Awards. Lin Nan only replied with two words, "I won't go."
So much so that the next day, this matter appeared on the Internet.
The box office of "Painted Skin" has now reached 260 million.
When the theater managers submitted the list to the Hundred Flowers Awards, "Painted Skin" was always in the top three.
Lin Nan was not embarrassed about this movie's absence from the Hundred Flowers Awards.
The special effects of "The Martian" are about to be completed. Lin Nan estimated the time and got on the plane back to China.
At the end of the third week, the box office of "Painted Skin" reached 280 million, just a little bit short of completing its mission.
"The daily increase has dropped to two million. The Forbidden Kingdom will be released in two days, and the increase of Painted Skin is expected to be even less."
"What about overseas and Hong Kong Island?"
"The box office in Hong Kong Island stopped at 10.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and the overseas box office was 33 million US dollars, mainly from the island countries and neighboring countries..."
Yue Jun reported the data of Painted Skin to Lin Nan, among which the box office of South Korea and the island countries was sent directly by CJ and Sony.
Such a good result is rare in China.
"Director Lin, China Film wants to hold a celebration banquet and is waiting for our opinions."
"Celebration banquet? It's time to hold a celebration banquet. You go and reply to them."
"Yeah."
"Forget it, I'll go there in person. I have something else to do."
Lin Nan drove away from the company.
...
The project of Inception has been decided.
Tom's proposal was actually approved by everyone.
Lin Nan was a little confused. Are they really going to let him act?
Han Sanping has been in a good mood these past two days. On the one hand, it was because of the impressive performance of Painted Skin, and on the other hand, it was because of the investment share of Inception that he had just received.
After Lin Nan came in, he was pulled to the tea table by Han Sanping with a smile on his face.
"What do you think about the celebration banquet? Everyone thinks it is necessary to hold it."
"Then do it. The box office is indeed very good." Lin Nan also supported this decision.
Han Sanping nodded, thinking of something.
"Actually, you shouldn't have rejected the Hundred Flowers Award so directly. You started it, and many directors followed you. Many people in the organizing committee have opinions about you..."
Lin Nan found it really funny to hear this.
"Boss Han, have you noticed a problem? When I wanted that award, I was manipulated in various ways. I didn't care, but they got anxious."
"Haha, that's the truth."
"I want to announce the news about Inception at the celebration party of Painted Skin. What do you think?"
Han Sanping asked this question, which was equivalent to not asking it. It was obvious that he wanted to show off.
Several state-owned film groups will definitely come, and a number of private companies will also be there. Lin Nan understands Han Sanping's thoughts.
"It's up to you."
Lin Nan came here to talk about this matter. Since Han Sanping decided to talk about it at the celebration party, he had nothing to say.
...
There are only two days left before the release of "The Forbidden Kingdom" in China.
The movie was released in North America and achieved a box office of 21 million US dollars in the first weekend.
The domestic audience is even more looking forward to it.
Lin Nan sat in the garden, the slightly warm sunshine shining through the gaps between the vines on the flower stand, warm.
Liu Yifei sat on Lin Nan's lap, holding the cat in her arms, and talking about what activities she had participated in these days.
Lin Nan clasped his hands and buried his head in the girl's shoulders. There was a faint fragrance between her long black hair and neck.
"Haha, it's itchy..."
"Xixi."
"Well, what's wrong."
"Nothing." Lin Nan said, holding the person in his arms tightly.
...
Shu Chang's "Magic Phone" has been on the air for half a month. It is the TV series with the highest ratings in the same batch in the country, with an average rating of 4% and a single episode with a maximum of 5.76%. In addition to the influence of "Painted Skin", he has been running around outside for announcements recently.
The news of the celebration banquet for "Painted Skin" was announced by China Film.
Both domestic and overseas box office data appeared in the news.
How much the investors can get can be roughly calculated.
Many people feel sorry for Shanghai Film Group. It is estimated that Mr. Ren feels worse watching China Film Group make money than Shanghai Film Group losing money.
Domestic cinema chains are increasingly optimistic about "The Forbidden Kingdom".
Capital New Film Union Cinema Chain even spent 23 million to buy out the box office of the movie in that cinema chain.
This has made the public pay more attention to this movie.
The celebration banquet was scheduled for the 24th, and "The Forbidden Kingdom" was also released on this day.
Liu Yifei and Lin Nan separated, one went to the celebration banquet and the other went to the show.
The venue of the celebration banquet was provided by Wanda.
The guests gathered and the momentum was huge; Han Sanping has always been consistent in this hobby.
Several leading actors have been very busy recently, but they all came in time.
"I really don't want to think of a solution. It's uncomfortable to see the box office stuck here."
Han Sanping said to Lin Nan.
"Painted Skin" stopped at 295 million.
The reason for choosing to withdraw the film was that there was really no box office left, and there were pirated copies online, so Lin Nan simply withdrew.
"Forget it, wait for "The Martian" to break 300 million." Lin Nan said with a smile.
Now this result is already a new record for domestic films, two million more than "The Curse of the Golden Flower".
Ren Zhonglun walked over with a helpless smile on his face.
"Lin Nan, I really regret not paying attention to your movie at that time, and it was a bargain for Xiying and Ningying.
When is the next movie? Remember to call, no matter how much it costs..."
Han Sanping was on the side, smiling meaningfully.
Lin Nan didn't know what to say, because Han Sanping would talk about "Inception" later.
Hu Ge came over with a glass of wine, "Where's Yifei, why didn't you see her at your celebration party?"
"There is a talk show to be on today, which was scheduled in advance."
The main creators were invited to the stage
The piece of paper with 295 million written on it in the ice was particularly conspicuous. This is a new record.
"Smash it."
The hammer fell to the ground, and there was applause in the field.
The cocktail party began.
Han Sanping took the microphone and walked onto the stage alone.
"Everyone, let's take this opportunity to celebrate the success of Painted Skin.
Let me tell you about the next project of Director Lin Nan and China Film."
Han Sanping smiled brightly and looked at Ren Zhonglun and the people from Xi'an Film Studio and Ningxia Film Studio.
The place was quiet instantly, and many people's eyes fell on Lin Nan.
Another project now?
Ren Zhonglun only realized at this moment why both he and Han Sanping were acting strange when he just agreed with Lin Nan on the next project.
It turned out that the project had been decided, and there were only two of them!
Han Sanping paused and spoke.
"This project is controlled by Hollywood, and the production cost is 160 million US dollars."
The astonished eyes of the people below made Han Sanping very satisfied.
"The director is Christopher Nolan of Batman, and the starring role is Leonardo Dicaprio."
"It's a pity that China Film Studio only has 15% of the investment, and only participates in the share of the Asian box office and domestic distribution.
Lin Nan, as the screenwriter, accounts for 5%."
While saying it was a pity, Han Sanping's smile never stopped.
"This is a male-dominated movie, and we got some of the leading roles.
A producer suggested that Lin Nan participate as an actor, and the other investors thought this was a good idea, so he took a role..."
Many people's breathing became heavy, the cake was too big.
This news will be a big deal if it gets out.
"Boss Han, what about the rest except for Director Lin's role?"
Someone was quick to ask.
All the actors and artists present had their eyes shining.
In the last 3 days, I shamelessly ask for some monthly tickets to make it even. Thank you all!
