Chapter 413 Summer, National Day, and Lunar New Year

The Capital International Film Festival, which will open next month, has announced the list of films to be screened.

Compared with the past, the number, quality, and background of the films participating this year are extremely unprecedented.

In the end, more than 200 films were selected from nearly a thousand submitted films from 74 countries and regions for screening.

Most of these films have won awards or been nominated at major international film festivals such as Oscars, Cannes, Venice, and Berlin.

Domestic filmmakers all understand that this is the face and sweetness given by others after the new imported film agreement was signed...

""The Avengers"?"

Lin Nan saw this Marvel movie.

It will be released in North America early next month. In another month, at the beginning of May, it will enter the mainland film market.

The Asian premiere of "Avengers" will also be held at the Capital International Film Festival in late April.

By then, all the creative team will be present.

Lin Nan felt that the schedule in the first half of the year was still too late. He plans to release all of the company's movies in the second half of the year.

…………

Everyone in the industry knows that if you want to do well, you must have a backstage.

For example, Yang Ying was originally just a little model in the Hong Kong circle who was not very popular.

But I couldn't resist others and took advantage of Huang Xiaoming. Although the method was a bit "despicable", they succeeded, right?

With the help of Master Huang, this is like stepping into the core class of the mainland entertainment industry.

Huayi held a signing ceremony for Yang Ying in a very high-profile manner. The latter will change careers and completely enter the film and television industry.

The meeting gift was the heroine of "Tai Chi", her partner Tony Leung Ka Fai, and the popular young actors Feng Shaofeng and Eddie Peng as supporting actors. Not to mention how the box office will be later, just talking about this lineup, it can be called luxurious!

I heard that Yang Ying will also star in the second part of Xu Ke's "Di Renjie" series. There are many good resources.

Wang Zhonglei even promised in front of the media that Yang Ying would be the "first sister" of Huayi Agency.

And Huang Xiaoming must have stood up for his girlfriend at the signing ceremony. When it comes to flattering his girlfriend, he spares no effort.

This is not good news for many actresses of the same age in the film and television industry.

From now on, there will be another strong competitor. After all, Yang Ying's backer is a young boss like Huang Xiaoming who has both connections and capital.

…………

Liu Yifei and her assistant were packing their things and packing their suitcases.

In the morning, Han Jia'er, the executive director, called Lin Nan, and she looked pretty decent.

She asked Lin Nan to help convey that Liu Yifei could leave for the "囧囧" crew.

"The guest role is actually advanced? Then the filming schedule of the entire drama should be ahead of schedule compared to the original plan."

Lin Nan guessed that he helped Liu Yifei by the way, but was disliked.

"Oh, you're so clumsy, you've made a mess."

"Okay, do it yourself."

Miss Liu's cameo scene only needs to show her face, nothing else. Although it was very simple, she had prepared it very carefully.

Lin Nan simply watched the two of them busy at the side, thinking about the crew. From the looks of it, Xu Zheng should be able to finish filming "囧" before the end of April.

At noon, Lin Nan personally took Liu Yifei to the airport, accompanied by an assistant and a female bodyguard.

"When I come back, let's watch the 3D version of "Titanic"."

Before entering the airport, Liu Yifei suddenly said to Lin Nan, with an expectant smile on her face, and Lin Nan couldn't bear to refuse.

"Comparing how they look now, I feel like I might laugh while watching this movie. Hahaha..."

Lin Nan complained, then changed his tone and said, "Well, when you come back as a guest star, we will go and watch it."

"okay!"

…………

Domestic films released in April such as "The Great Robbery", "The Man" and "The Killing" are all promoting non-stop, working harder than ever.

Because the focus of public attention is almost all on "Titanic 3D".

The first blockbuster movie in April is this movie.

Even though it has been 15 years since its release, its influence has not diminished at all. Especially the reset 3D version is full of gimmicks. And Leonardo and Kate Winslet are now international superstars!

Domestic movies in April are full of pressure.

…

"Director Lin, the later stage of "Genius Gunslinger" is completed."

As soon as Lin Nan returned to the company, Yue Jun came to talk about this matter.

"Then let's go and have a look."

As he spoke, Lin Nan took the lead and walked towards Tiangong Color.

Three hours of footage, after rough and fine cuts, and after Lin Nan made a request before.

The current film length is only a little over two hours.

Lin Nan was very satisfied with the final result of the film. Many employees felt nervous and excited after watching it, and even couldn't help but stamp their feet during the climax.

"Give me a copy." Lin Nan said.

"Director Lin, do you want to go to the film bureau in person?"

"Yes. To be on the safe side, I still have to hand it over to the Children's Bureau to avoid another accident like the one during the script review."

Lin Nan remembered the schedule and looked at Yue Jun.

"Now that the post-production stages of "The Gunslinger" and "Passengers" have been completed, barely counting "Love in Seattle" and "囧", these four films can all be scheduled.

I want to use one of them to target "The King's Feast". Which one do you think is suitable? "

"Did Director Lin originally plan to put Bad Genius at the end?"

"That's what I thought before." Lin Nan nodded.

"I think we should not use Director Lin's own movie. That would be too much of a compliment to Lu Chuan, and we would also lose our class, wouldn't we? Haha..."

When Yue Jun said this, even the group of people in Tiangong Color laughed.

Lin Nan felt that what Yue Jun said made sense.

In this case, it would be Lost in Thailand and Love in Seattle.

"The schedules of Bad Genius and Passengers need to be rearranged."

As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, Yue Jun added:

"I suggest putting Bad Genius in the summer schedule. At that time, the middle school entrance examination and the college entrance examination have just ended, and the box office will definitely explode!"

Lin Nan couldn't help but nod his head. As Yue Jun said, Bad Genius is indeed very suitable for riding on the popularity of the middle school entrance examination and the college entrance examination.

"But we have to control public opinion. Fortunately, the ending of the movie is positive! Then, it will be a summer movie!"

…………

In the afternoon, Lin Nan drove straight to the General Administration. He called in advance and found out that Tong Gang was in the Film Bureau today.

Lin Nan was a favorite of the leaders and was brought into the office without any obstacles.

"Director Tong, the finished film and the script are exactly the same. Don't let the review have any problems." Lin Nan said with a smile.

Tong Gang stopped writing, raised his eyelids, and looked at Lin Nan:

"No problem. To be precise, this year's commercial films will not have any problems as long as they don't make principled mistakes. All the way to the green light."

"What's the reason?"

It sounds good, but Lin Nan is still curious about the specific reasons.

"With so many imported films, don't you rely on domestic commercial films to take the lead? You should fight for your courage and don't let the data at the end of the year be too ugly, otherwise it will become a joke."

It seems that the leaders above are also not confident, so they opened a little back door for review.

"By the way, my movie "Passengers" should be reviewed soon, right?"

"It has been reviewed. It will be on the next public notice list. You can set the release date."

...

On the way to China Film, Lin Nan called Xue Xiaolu.

Although Xue Xiaolu said during the interview that she would discuss the release date with Lin Nan and decide together.

But Lin Nan himself was still willing to respect Xue Xiaolu's wishes.

"To be honest, I'm not sure when I can finish the post-production. I want to take my time..."

From what Xue Xiaolu said, she seemed to really want to take her time, but Lin Nan was not in a hurry for this movie.

"Okay, then don't rush. Teacher Xue has an idea for the release date, just let me know."

...

There is also "A Man's Martial Arts" later.

Lin Nan felt that all these movies might not be released this year, and they would have to be released next year.

"July 25?"

Han Sanping was a little surprised at first, then nodded, "Bad Genius is indeed suitable for the summer season!"

"In addition, I want to put "Passengers" on September 27, the National Day season."

"It's been several months since your company's movies were released? But I have to remind you that there are many imported blockbusters this year, take a look."

Han Sanping threw a document to Lin Nan, which was a list of imported films for the second half of the year that had not yet been announced, and it should not be complete.

"Ice Age 4, The Dark Knight Rises, The Mechanic..."

Lin Nan was stunned. These were imported films for July and August, and the direct rivals of "Bad Genius".

And the rivals of "Passengers" are "Jason Bourne 4", "Taken 2"...

As for those domestic films that have been scheduled or will be scheduled for the summer and National Day seasons, Lin Nan didn't take it seriously.

"Are these two schedules confirmed?" Han Sanping asked again.

"Sure, isn't it just about doing it head-on? Let's do it!"

"Okay, that's what we need."

Han Sanping smiled and patted Lin Nan on the shoulder, "We really need you to be at the forefront this year."

At this time, Lin Nan smiled and said, "I will put Xu Zheng's "Lost in Thailand" on December 1st..."

"Lunar New Year's Day! Targeting Lu Chuan?"

"Yeah."

"You guys. Forget it, I don't know anything. I'll send someone to follow up on the subsequent publicity."

"Thank you, Mr. Han."

…………

When he went back, Lin Nan was also a little stressed. With so many imported blockbusters, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel any pressure!

"Mr. Wang, my "Bad Genius" is going to be released on July 25th."

"Okay, I got it. I asked them to put "The Four" on July 1st, and there will be basically no competition and conflict at the box office..."

…………

Ning Hao, this guy, has a lot of ideas.

"Come on, just this once. After all, you are one of the investors of "The Heist", come and help me promote it..."

"You are really good at ordering people around. If Yifei hadn't gone to the crew of "Lost in Thailand", would you still want me to bring her with me?"

"Oh, you guessed right. If I had known earlier, I should have called you two two days in advance, hahaha..."
