Chapter 250 Invitation to Liu Dehua, "Source Code" Released

"Can you say that again?"

Lin Nan looked at Lu Yang with a gloomy face.

"Haha, Director Lin, am I wrong?

You see, the heroine has a cool temperament and is untainted by the mud. Isn't this very suitable for Yifei?"

Lin Nan didn't say anything and continued to look gloomy.

This guy, just auditioning, actually set his sights on Liu Yifei, the producer.

Lu Yang looked at Lin Nan's expression and smiled shamelessly.

"Don't worry, I will pay attention to all of Yifei's scenes during the filming.

There will definitely be no dangerous scenes or slightly intimate scenes..."

"Stop, stop, stop, have you ever thought about Yifei's current status? Is she suitable for this role? And this is a role for an open audition, what do you want outsiders to think?"

Lin Nan said unhappily.

Lu Yang was stunned by Lin Nan's words. Yes, he really forgot to consider this matter.

In his opinion, Liu Yifei is very suitable for this role.

Although the role may be a little small, Liu Yifei is half a producer, and there should be no problem for her to play in her own play.

As a result, Lin Nan's words made Lu Yang sober.

He forgot that Liu Yifei's main job is an actor, and the status of an actor is a very important thing. If he let Liu Yifei play this role, it would also make Liu Yifei hate him.

…………

"Lin, "Eclipse" is about to be released, you really don't care at all?"

A call from Tom reminded Lin Nan of this matter.

The third part of "Twilight" is also going to be released, next to "Source Code".

"I won't go this time, you keep an eye on it, and there's also the matter of "Now You See Me"..."

Lin Nan arranged it in a few words. The fan movie has the potential of about ten days, so there's nothing to worry about.

"Well, is the profit this time still for buying equipment?"

"Yes. And those who went to study in the past, if they are almost ready, arrange to send them back."

"Well, I will."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan continued to think about the casting problem.

Liu Dehua, Jackie Chan and other people he wants to work with are all in his consideration this time.

But the schedule is a problem. For people of this level, the schedule is usually very full.

"Let's wait until the investment is finalized. Each one is still quite expensive." Lin Nan muttered.

Still in China Film.

In the past, Wanda participated in the investment of Lin Nan's film, and the people who came were all from the theater chain company.

Now that the film company has been established, that part of the business has been transferred, including those responsible persons.

"Director Lin, thank you for the opportunity. To be honest, the film and television company has been established for almost two months, and this is the first big project..."

The people from Wanda don't seem to be lying. That's right, ordinary directors don't have the opportunity to touch projects with investment costs of hundreds of millions.

There is no light this time, and no filming.

The former is preparing several movies at the same time and can't spare the funds. As for the latter... Han Sanping thinks there are enough people...

"You said you want big-name actors this time. Are there any interested?"

"For this kind of subject matter, I first consider Jackie Chan, followed by Andy Lau. In fact, Tony Leung and others are also on my list.

In addition, I also want to find some mature mainland actors, including female roles..."

Lin Nan said calmly, and Han Sanping and Wanda's people listened very seriously.

This lineup of potential actors sounds reliable.

"What about the budget?"

Wanda's people asked, not afraid of high, but worried about low.

"Between 100 million and 200 million, mainly because this is a group drama, the actors will be paid a lot, and the budget is difficult to determine if several big names have not been confirmed.

I even have the idea of ​​letting one or two big-name actors share the box office."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, the two people on the opposite side frowned.

China is not like Hollywood, where sharing is quite common, but in China, producers are still very traditional.

Especially Lin Nan's commercial films, there is a high probability that they will make money.

This made the two of them even more reluctant to see other people come to share the cake.

"How about Jackie Chan?"

Han Sanping said.

He knew Jackie Chan's price. This was not a Hollywood movie. It could sell a lot of money just by videotape.

"I'll have someone contact him first. It's really not as good as before. It's not as good as abroad."

Lin Nan said something with a hint of meaning.

In the morning, the three parties discussed the approximate distribution plan.

China Film 30%, Wanda 30%, Lin Nan 40%.

In addition, China Film's share includes publicity and distribution; Wanda also needs to provide theater scheduling support.

China Film and Wanda are a little resistant to giving actors a share of the box office, so Lin Nan can only let it go.

——

The next day, Liu Yifei told Lin Nan that Lu Yang apologized to her.

He said that he was too careless before and actually wanted to ask her to play Zhou Miaotong.

"In fact, I really wanted to agree at the beginning."

Liu Yifei tilted her head and said.

"After all, this character's life story is quite tragic. He is a descendant of a loyal official, but was wrongly imprisoned in the Jiaofangsi. His fate is beyond his control, like a floating duckweed in troubled times, but he is clean and self-disciplined..."

Blah blah, Liu Yifei said a long string of words, and the sensibility of an artistic girl was fully reflected.

"Your identity is no longer suitable for playing this kind of role." Lin Nan said.

"Well, I know. My mother also told me not to be stupid, hehe."

Liu Yifei knew that if she played this role, her status would be lowered, and the brands she endorsed would have opinions.

After all, Lu Yang was just a small director.

"As a producer, I can't not pay you a salary. How about investment?" Lin Nan said softly.

…………

"Hello, Lin Nan?"

"Brother Hua, it's me. Do you have any schedule recently?"

"Haha, you called me to ask me, so I must have. What's the script?"

……

Lu Yang announced some of the casting information for "Embroidered Spring Blade".

"The heroine is still under consideration and will be announced later..."

Some sharp-eyed media found the change information of "Embroidered Spring Blade" in the filing form of the Film Bureau.

Originally, there was only Lin Nan Pictures in the producer column, but now there is also Red Star Studio.

The meaning is self-evident.

At the same time, the news that Lin Nan was going to make a new movie came out.

"According to reliable sources, the script of the new movie directed by Lin Nan is being reviewed."

Many companies in the industry came to inquire about the news.

According to Lin Nan's instructions, Yue Jun gave a positive reply.

Now, whether in the circle or online, there is more attention and discussion.

Many actors feel a little lucky that they were not selected by Lin Nan Pictures' previous films.

Now, maybe they can try their luck.

"According to Director Lin's habit, after the award-winning films, they should be commercial films!"

"Director Lin Nan, he really has this habit!"

"I wonder what type of commercial film it is?"

"I'm curious that Director Lin didn't let Liu Yifei play in his new film."

...

Lin Nan also read the comments online.

There is indeed a female thief who shows off her figure in "The Thieves".

But that role is best played by a mature and seductive actress around 27 to 35 years old.

Liu Yifei has read the script. This role also has seduction scenes. She is not suitable in any way.

Among the several big names that Lin Nan intended, only Liu Dehua agreed to his invitation on the spot, and even said that the salary was negotiable.

Actually, Lin Nan could accept Liu Dehua's salary.

Jackie Chan said he would consider it, sometimes you can't just accept whatever you want.

Lin Nan understood what he meant, a slight change in salary would affect many things.

...

"Hunting" is an award-winning film after all, but with a box office of 68 million, China Film Group definitely did not lose money.

"Source Code" did not hold any premiere, and was directly released on November 1st.

Guo Fan was a little irritated. He walked around the company again and again, and finally ran to the cinema.

Lin Nan didn't care about the release of "Lunar Eclipse", and was also waiting for the data of "Source Code".

This movie, if you put aside the fact that Guo Fan is a novice director. Just because the screenwriter is Lin Nan, the post-production and special effects are all natural, it still has competitiveness.

The next day, China Film Group sent the box office data.

"Director Lin, how much?" Guo Fan asked anxiously.

"Well, it's okay, 6.23 million on the first day." Lin Nan said with a smile.

Guo Fan was relieved immediately after hearing it.

"According to the first-day data, if there are no major surprises, the final box office should be around 50 to 60 million."

"Really?"

"Almost."

Guo Fan knew Lin Nan's strength, which meant that his first movie was a success!

Half a day later, the first-day box office data of "Source Code" also appeared on the Internet.

"6.23 million on the first day, Beijing Film Academy director Guo Fan, won the first battle!"

"This is the first new director trained from scratch by Director Lin, awesome!"

...

The online reviews of "Source Code" are very good, mainly focusing on the script creativity and imagination.

The official website of the Film Academy has already reported on Guo Fan, after all, the latter is still a first-year graduate student.

There is a saying that goes, if students have good results, it must be the credit of the school and the tutor!

"It was only signed at the beginning of the year? And the results are out now?!"

Many teachers and professors in the academy were shocked.

But Lin Nan's method of training newcomers is really something that schools can't learn. Teachers and professors are waiting in line to give real money to the project to practice.

More and more people are coming to inquire about Lin Nan's new movie.

Actors who have worked with him before are also included.

Huang Xiaoming, Hu Jun, Chen Minghao...

"In two days, I will send out a casting notice. If you think it's suitable, come and try it..."

For old acquaintances, there is no need to submit resumes.

Yue Jun posted a message on the company's Weibo account.

"Welcome Mr. Liu Dehua to join the new film directed by Lin Nan."

The news made the circle even more lively.

The first actor to be confirmed is Liu Dehua!

Many people instantly remembered Lin Nan's filming habits.

Then this new movie will most likely be a commercial film, and a commercial film with a large investment scale.

Immediately afterwards, China Film and Wanda announced that they would participate in the production of Lin Nan's new film.

A large number of actors are eager to try, waiting for the casting news.
