Chapter 229: Review Rejected, "Xian San" Becomes a Big Hit
Lin Nan Pictures made a lot of splash at this year's Magnolia Awards.
The two TV series "The Hidden" and "The Head of the Group".
They won several important awards, including the Gold Award, Best Director, and Best Actor.
After the award ceremony, Yue Jun stayed for two days to attend social events.
After several TV series, Lin Nan Pictures has completely established a foothold in the TV drama circle.
...
During this period, Lou Ye attracted the attention of the entire film industry.
The year before last, he violated the rules and went to participate in the Cannes Film Festival without getting the approval document. Although he was shortlisted for the Palme d'Or, he did not win the award.
After returning, he was happily punished by the Film Bureau with a five-year ban on directing.
This year was even more ruthless. He directly found Hong Kong and French capital to shoot the homosexual and large-scale scenes of "Spring Breeze", and won the Best Screenwriter Award at Cannes.
He also publicly called out to the Film Bureau in front of a large number of media in Cannes.
He hoped that the movie could be released in the mainland, hoped that he would be lifted as soon as possible, and hoped that he would be the last director banned in the mainland.
The ending was not what everyone expected.
After Lou Ye made that speech, the Film Bureau issued a document in the past two days.
The film "Spring Breeze" was banned, and Lou Ye was criticized by name.
"During the period of the ban, he dared to secretly shoot in Jinling. He is really bold and doesn't take the General Administration into consideration at all!"
Tian Zhuangzhuang, Jiang Wen, Li Yang...
Among so many banned directors, which one was not well-behaved during the period of the ban? And he went to shoot that kind of movie!
Anyway, Lin Nan felt that he would never touch that kind of subject matter.
The start-up scene of "Source Code".
Lin Nan came to the stage specifically.
I heard Guo Fan talking to Lei Jiayin.
"This is a tough image of a soldier. When shooting officially, you must maintain that vigorous spirit..."
Lin Nan listened on the side and smiled from time to time.
While he is still young, Lei Jiayin can play a soldier now.
If he goes on, he can't go back. He has to play some "down-to-earth" roles.
For example, greasy uncles, ruffians...
Many media reporters also came. After all, this is the first director signed by Lin Nan, and the attention is not low.
"You have probably read almost all of the script. You play a couple in the movie.
Of course, this is a bit abrupt for the role played by Lei Jiayin, after all, he suddenly has a girlfriend.
So when acting, you have to proceed step by step... In the end, you are still together..."
Guo Fan finally reminded.
"The first scene, the first scene, action."
...
The news of the start of filming of "Source Code" is not a small news.
The general plot has also been spread.
In order to make it easier to pass the review, when Lin Nan was writing the script, he changed the name of the city to be bombed to Hong Kong Island.
After all, don't Hong Kong movies often have similar settings?
"Director Lin, I have finished the post-production of "Blind Cinema" and will register for the Busan Film Festival in the next two days."
Lu Yang's efficiency is not low. It is said that he has been staying in the editing room with several people during this period.
"Since it's done, just send it over. Any questions?"
"Producer, Supervisor, I'll just leave your name? Haha..."
Lu Yang's calculations were really good.
"Okay, I wish you success."
"Thank you, Director Lin. I'm still waiting for your script and investment."
...
"Happy Death Day 2" officially opened in North America.
The box office in the first weekend was more than 12 million US dollars, which was 2 million lower than the first one.
This result did not meet Wen Ziren's expectations at all.
After all, the production budget of the second part increased to 9 million, nearly twice that of the first one.
"Lin, why is this? At this rate, the box office of this movie may be 10 or 20 million less than the first one..."
People are like this. After tasting the sweetness of the first time, they want more the second time.
"James, this one is a repetition of the plot. It's not surprising that this result has occurred.
And the videotapes will not make less money."
After a phone call, Lin Nan kept yawning, and Wen Ziren on the other side finally reacted.
"Sorry, Lin, I forgot it's night time there. I'll contact you after the final result comes out..."
The next day, Lin Nan heard the news about "No Man's Land" at the company.
To be precise, it was spread throughout the circle.
Ning Hao's new movie was rejected in the first round of preliminary review less than half a month after it was submitted.
This result is incredible for the entire film and television industry.
There are really not many directors of commercial films that sell well in the mainland, and you can count them on one hand.
No one expected that Ning Hao's movie would not pass the review.
What shocked Lin Nan the most was that Ning Hao got excited and really confronted the old guys on the review committee as soon as he received the notice.
The original words were: "Nanjing" can pass, why can't "No Man's Land"?
In the end, Han Sanping came forward and called Ning Hao to China Film and said that he would go to communicate, and then persuaded the latter to go back.
Lin Nan had a hunch that Ning Hao would find him, and sure enough, he received a call.
When it came to the bad monkey.
Ning Hao looked listless with a dark face, while several employees had already started editing the video.
"Did they say what the reason was?" Lin Nan asked.
Xing Aina shook her head, "They didn't give an explanation."
Lin Nan frowned, this was unreasonable.
"Director Han asked me to cut out the darkest scenes and try to submit them again. This time he will help.
No, we are already cutting it and will send it out in two days. "At this time, Ning Hao suddenly said.
"What about your promotional plan for the Shanghai Film Festival?"
"No change, I will finish cutting it and hand it in before the opening ceremony."
…
…
After all, this is the first time for Guo Fan to be a director and make a movie.
From time to time, I would encounter problems and call Lin Nan for advice.
The latter simply went to the scene every day to watch for a while.
The plot of this movie is not complicated, and the main sci-fi setting is very good.
Lin Nan told Guo Fan that a movie like this can be shot for a month at most, and overtime means the director is unqualified.
These words made the latter even more demanding during filming.
On the other side, Ning Hao was really holding back his energy.
Within three days, a new version was cut and sent to the film bureau.
I heard that Han Sanping has a guaranteed ticket, so there is a high probability that there will be no problem this time.
Just like that, Ning Hao happily ran to the Shanghai Film Festival.
At the opening ceremony, when interviewed by the media, he even said bluntly:
"I have discussed with Director Han that "No Man's Land" will be released in November this year to compete in the Lunar New Year slot..."
The media is very efficient. Within a few hours, what Ning Hao said quickly appeared on various news websites.
…………
He began to promote "No Man's Land" at the Shanghai Film Festival, and Huang Bo and others came to cooperate.
It wasn't until halfway through the film festival that Ning Hao suddenly came back dejected and went to China Film Festival as soon as possible.
It feels really uncomfortable to slap yourself in the face. It's not only painful, but also embarrassing.
"No Man's Land" was called back again.
Han Sanping was very angry, these old guys didn't even give him face.
The reason given was very perfunctory, just saying that it was done according to the rules.
"Rules? Tell me the rules, haha..."
"Director Han, Warner and Lionsgate have sent a message.
Director Nolan and other creative teams will come over a week later to promote the film. "
When Han Sanping heard this, he put down the matter of "No Man's Land".
“Then inform the media and arrange the venue in advance.
This movie is the most important external investment project of the group, and there can be no mistakes. "
"Yes, Director Han."
——
The news of "Inception" spread throughout the film and television and media circles like a passing hurricane.
A large number of fans and viewers were excited.
Whether it's Christopher Nolan, Leonardo DiCaprio, or Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard...
These people have a lot of fans and fans.
People in the industry are paying close attention all the time.
There are many film companies that want to get online. Huayi, Shanghai Film, Yinghuang, and even Wanda have ideas...
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are already preparing.
At the same time, "Sword and Sword III" is in full swing.
The foundation of "Sword and Sword One" is there, and a large number of game fans and TV series fans flocked to "Sword and Sword III".
Within just a few days of its launch, the ratings skyrocketed.
Hu Ge’s Sedum, Yang Mi’s Tang Xuejian, Tang Yan’s Zixuan, Liu Shishi’s Nightshade…
And each person plays several roles.
A hit TV series was born.
"Mimi, your Xuejian is no worse than Zhao Ling'er back then.
It's obvious now that after this drama, you will be a veritable four-letter actress..."
Yang Mi knew that she was really popular. "Sword and Sword III" will become her masterpiece, just like that person's Zhao Ling'er.
As long as you manage your business well, you will definitely not be worse than anyone else.
The movie "Sword and Sword One" made Hu Ge famous and made Liu Yifei's Zhao Ling'er deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The current "Sword and Sword III" has also done the same.
Not to mention Hu Ge, he was already a popular niche.
The three actresses who benefited the most were Yang Mi, followed by Tang Yan and Liu Shishi.
Tang people.
Cai Yinong looked at the ratings data with an unstoppable smile on his face.
She likes Liu Yifei very much, and she wanted to sign that girl more than once during "Sword and Sword One", but unfortunately she was always rejected by Liu Xiaoli.
Later, because of Lin Nan's relationship, it was no longer possible for the Tang Dynasty to sign Liu Yifei.
Until she met Liu Shishi in Beiwu. Although it was a little worse in comparison, it was still rare.
Especially because the other party's obedient character and appearance were somewhat similar to his own, Cai Yinong immediately decided to cultivate a "Liu Yifei".
"Shi Shi, there have been a lot of announcements in the past two days, right? There will be more in the future."
"Well, thank you Mr. Cai and the company for your cultivation. I will continue to work hard."
"Take your time, the starting point of "Sword and Sword III" is no worse than the original "Sword and Sword I".
Liu Yifei has already blazed a trail for you, your peers.
The rest of the people just need to follow and learn. There are many examples of latecomers catching on..."
Cai Yinong said with a smile.
"I understand, Mr. Cai."
The secretary knocked on the door and walked in. Liu Shishi left the office with a wink.
"whats the matter?"
"Mr. Cai, Rong Xinda is going to raise the price."
Cai Yinong frowned, "It's rising again?"
"They said they had misunderstood before, so they reported the wrong price."
"How much has it increased? As long as it's reasonable, I can go and talk to them."
