Chapter 339 Lunar New Year Holiday, Modify the Rules
The straw hat incident in "Martial Arts" has become a hot topic in the entire film industry.
Not to mention the mainland media, even the Hong Kong media has been much quieter this time.
Chen Kexin acted very calmly. When faced with the media's interview invitation, she directly refused without making any response.
On the contrary, Wu Zhenru said without thinking:
"Are you so lenient on everyone? What's all the fuss about?"
From this nonchalant and accustomed tone, the reporters could tell a lot.
I guess Chen Kexin often did this when filming in the Mainland! I'm afraid I "made" a lot of money!
…………
"The screening situation in Southeast Asia is very good, especially in the island countries. The number of moviegoers is not inferior to the original "Painted Skin 1"."
Lin Nan felt more relieved after hearing Yue Jun's report.
The island country is indeed very powerful. He reckons that the copyright deal for "Painted Skin 2" is gone.
"That's good. Give me the specific data then."
"Um."
…
Lin Nan saw the box office of Huang Bo and Jiang Yiyan's "Pretend to Be a Couple".
Caught between several commercial films such as "Painted Skin 2", this urban romance film barely managed to earn 20 million at the box office.
By this time, it had been released for more than two weeks, and it had completely failed to make any money, so I simply chose to put it down.
In the movie market, "Painted Skin 2" is still the dominant one, with its daily box office remaining at around 30 million.
Everyone is speculating whether this movie can surpass Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" at the box office.
As for surpassing "Thieves"?
Judging from the current box office trend of "Painted Skin 2", there is no such chance.
There is good news from Warner.
A special effects team of hundreds of people took five months to complete. The special effects shots for "Pacific Rim" will be completely completed this month.
China Film Corporation couldn't wait to announce the news.
"Investing US$160 million to co-produce the science fiction blockbuster "Pacific Rim" will be completed this month!"
Production companies in the industry once again attracted the attention of this movie.
The combination of co-productions, huge investment scale, and hard-core science fiction movies means that "Pacific Rim" will definitely enter the domestic market.
The question that everyone is most concerned about now is when will the movie be released in China.
If such a giant beast is allowed to enter, a large number of domestic films will surely suffer.
"Is it about to be finished?"
Among mainland actors, only Zhang Yi and Jing Tian participated in this movie.
At this moment, both of them were very excited.
"The production of "New Mom Love Me Again" will be completed in a few days. Next month, I will join the crew of "The Rescuers". Can you bear the stress?"
Lu Zheng looked at the slightly excited Jing Tian and asked softly.
"Sure, No problem."
“I don’t know when Pacific Rim will be released.
If this movie is released to the public, it will definitely help you a lot..."
…………
Lin Nan was at China Film Academy at this time.
"Warner has great ideas. Do you know which schedule they want?"
Han Sanping said with emotion.
China Film Group handles all these chores in daily life.
"Which period? Lunar New Year period or Spring Festival period?"
Lin Nan asked with a smile, only these two schedules could make Han Sanping sigh.
After all, "Avatar" was released in China during the Lunar New Year period, and it completely wiped out the movie market!
"Haha, you guessed it right. Warner people contacted the group and hoped to release it during the Lunar New Year period like "Avatar"."
really!
"What does Director Han mean?"
Lin Nan knew that although "Pacific Rim" was a co-production, domestic capital accounted for 55%.
But if we want to stuff such a behemoth into the Lunar New Year stalls, the voices of resistance will definitely not be quiet, especially with the lessons learned from "Avatar"!
Many domestic movies will definitely have great opinions.
Han Sanping suddenly smiled and said, "I think you can give it a try."
Hearing these words, Lin Nan knew that what he had just thought was conservative.
With a character like Han Sanping's, he must be eager for "Pacific Rim" to replicate the success of "Avatar" and sweep all the way.
This is a co-production. If it is successful, it will be a political achievement, an iron-clad political achievement!
"You can decide the schedule with Warner Bros. and Lionsgate. I won't get involved. I think Wanda means the same thing."
Lin Nan is very self-aware. Only Han Sanping can handle this kind of thing, and he can also withstand the pressure from other film producers in the Lunar New Year period.
"Okay, I'll take care of this matter, it will be during the Lunar New Year period."
Han Sanping guessed Lin Nan's thoughts and said with a chuckle.
…………
China Film Digital Production Base.
The construction work in the studio was carried out in an orderly manner and with high efficiency.
Lin Nan goes to check it out from time to time. It will definitely be built and decorated by late July, and it can be started by then.
On the other hand, Nortel's performance drama is in the news again.
The college entrance examination admission score has been rising for several consecutive years, but this year it suddenly dropped a lot.
Obviously the number of admitted students has been cut in half, so why are the scores still lowered?
At first, everyone was just curious and didn’t think much about it.
It wasn't until the results of the "key" art candidates at the beginning of the year were exposed that everyone suddenly realized.
The score line is lowered just for them!
Including Zhou Dongyu, several people were just a little bit above the score line and were admitted on the line. Just like the scores of professional exams in art exams, all of them were on the line!
It's just that in art exams, in order to avoid gossip, the scores of several people were lowered to let them pass on the line;
But this time it's different. The department took the initiative to lower the score line so that these people can pass on the line and enter the school smoothly...
This practice is really a bit disgusting.
Lin Nan suddenly remembered what Tian Zhuangzhuang said in front of him some time ago.
This circle is indeed becoming more and more closed. Everything is predetermined in advance, and even the rules are modified...
Faced with the doubts of public opinion, the performance department didn't care at all: this is just a normal adjustment of the score line, there is no other intention.
…………
"Wuxia" took nine days to reach a box office of 100 million.
Everyone in the film and television industry knows that the box office potential of a movie is almost in the first half of the month.
Unless it is a particularly popular movie, such as "Thief", "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Painted Skin 2" which is currently being released.
Of course, the movie "Earthquake" that mobilized the whole nation is too watery and is not included.
"The daily box office growth of the movie "Wuxia" has fallen below 8 million, and the total box office will most likely stop before 150 million."
"The box office of "Painted Skin 2" has reached 450 million, and it is about to break the 500 million mark..."
…………
No one disagrees that the box office champion in the first month of this summer season is "Painted Skin 2".
Lin Nan has drawn all the storyboards of "Passengers", and now he just needs to wait for the studio to be completed before he can start filming.
"What about "Star Luck" when it is released?"
Liu Yifei is more concerned about this matter.
When "Star Luck" premieres and is released, "Space Passengers" must be filming.
"This is simple. At the premiere, give the crew two days off, and go to the premiere ceremony of "Star Luck" together."
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei and said seriously.
"Star Luck" means a lot to him and Liu Yifei. This is the first time that the two of them play the male and female protagonists in a movie, a couple.
The publicity of this movie was handed over to Guangguang.
With the gimmick of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei co-starring and the Grand Jury Award at the Cannes Film Festival, "Star Luck" does not need to be promoted hard.
Because this movie has attracted much attention from the industry and fans since the project was launched. Especially the date of Qixi Festival is even easier to remember.
"Well, this is good, it won't delay either side."
Liu Yifei nodded and agreed with Lin Nan's idea.
…………
Hong Kong Island is really too small.
It has been a month, and the media is still talking about the divorce of Nicholas Tse and Zhang.
Yinghuang can issue two announcements on average every day, and it doesn't look like a film company.
The mainland media are also watching the fun, and they are all teasing Nicholas Tse. How long can they endure?
"The Promise" was brought up for discussion again.
"Speaking of which, Director Chen's words back then do make sense!
Since that time in 2008, the roles of these two in The Promise have been fully reflected in reality..."
"Director Chen Kaige is awesome! This prophet is really good!"
…………
"Notify all actors and ask them to come before the end of the month."
Lin Nan instructed his assistant, who knew he was talking about the crew members of Passengers.
"Okay, Director Lin."
Guo Fan's situation changes every day. The "interior of the spacecraft" is being built very quickly and is about to be completed.
Lin Nan has to be prepared at all times and start filming at any time.
