Chapter 457 Familiar Operations

The issue of high pay has been brought up again.

The pay of the three main actors of "Dangerous Liaisons" is as high as 51 million, which has become the target of criticism in the industry.

The current box office of this movie is not even enough for the pay of any two of the three of them.

And the movie has already shown a trend of stalling.

Maybe we can only blame Zhang Ziyi for what she deserves. When she received the 20 million pay, she was too high-profile and wanted everyone to know.

Now, she is the first to bear the brunt and naturally became the target of the fire.

Of course, if she can bring up the box office, she will definitely not be scolded like she is now. It is easy to get into trouble if you are not worthy of your position. And you will also be targeted by actresses in the circle.

…………

"To be honest, I am not familiar with him, and we are not the same kind of people."

Lin Nan took the invitation letter handed over by the assistant and said jokingly.

The invitation to the premiere of Lou Ye's "Floating City Mystery" has been sent to Lin Nan Pictures.

The two of them are direct competitors for the Golden Horse Awards next month, including several awards including Best Picture and Best Director.

"What does Director Lin mean?"

"I won't go. If I go, I will definitely be blocked by the media for questions.

Ask me what I think of "Floating City Mystery" and the two movies competing in the Golden Horse Awards."

Lin Nan handed the invitation letter to Yue Jun, "You arrange it."

"Okay, then I'll go and take a look. It doesn't seem appropriate to just let the company send a producer."

Yue Jun went to "Floating City Mystery", and Lin Nan was not idle either.

As one of the producers of "New Police Story 2013", Lin Nan was invited to go there, and the location was in a department under the Ministry of Public Security.

This time, Lin Nan went there happily.

Let's not talk about the script first, just the significance of this movie is extraordinary.

In terms of classification, "New Police Story 2013" is a main theme movie.

For some main theme movies with special themes, if you want to establish a project, pass the review, and start shooting, you must have the support of certain departments.

Otherwise, the Film Bureau and the General Administration will definitely not approve it because the impact is too great.

…

“I hope you can show everyone the image of our mainland police.”

A middle-aged man in his forties in uniform smiled and shook hands with Jackie Chan, and joked.

“You’re welcome. This is what I should do.”

Lin Nan and Ding Sheng were chatting.

The latter is the director of “New Police Story 2013” ​​and “Little Big Soldier”, and graduated from Beijing Film Academy.

“At present, there are basically no big directors and private film companies willing to take the initiative to shoot mainstream movies. It is the China Film Group that takes the lead, and only then will the big directors participate.”

“We also know the specific reasons. First, the box office is not guaranteed, and second, the review is also troublesome…”

The middle-aged man in uniform led Lin Nan and others into a conference room. After sitting down, he started talking.

Lin Nan knew that this was said to the two directors and three company leaders present. Lin Nan has two identities.

"Although Director Lin is young, he is a top domestic director and a big commercial film director. Have you ever thought about making some mainstream movies in the future to actively promote positive energy..."

If someone else said "promote positive energy" in front of Lin Nan, he would definitely think that the other person was joking.

But in this occasion, plus the person opposite, this is a very serious topic.

"I have thought about it. In the future, the company will definitely make mainstream movies, but the review is really troublesome. Many things are not approved by the bureau and cannot be filmed..."

Lin Nan said with a stiff upper lip.

Ding Sheng, Jackie Chan, Ye Ning, Lu Zheng and others on the side couldn't help but look at Lin Nan. Are you really talking about this?

"It doesn't matter. If it involves police, soldiers, crimes, laws and other factors, and there are problems with review difficulties, you can come to us..."

The other party was still talking seriously, and Ye Ning and others were smiling, just listening.

"New Police Story 2013" was made because of Jackie Chan and the "Police Story" series.

In the future, new mainstream movies must be made with caution. For such movies, it is best to have an official private screening, so that everyone can have the confidence to make them.

Unlike Ye Ning and others, Lin Nan felt very reassured when hearing these words!

At this moment, he thought of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, the Sixth Princess, and of course, the person in front of him and the unit he represented.

These are the existences that can ignore the General Administration, and even the unit where this person in front of him works can make the General Administration stand at attention and shout...

"Okay, if there are difficulties in the future, I will not be polite."

Lin Nan nodded decisively. This opportunity is rare, isn't this the purpose of coming here today?

"You are welcome at any time."

…………

After the group left the Propaganda Bureau, Lin Nan received two phone calls and a business card.

One of the two calls was from the middle-aged man just now; the other call and business card were from Golden Shield...

"Director Lin, is the company really planning to shoot a main theme movie? That doesn't make money. This time, we dare to do it because of the gimmick of Jackie Chan and "Police Story."

Listening to Ye Ning's kind reminder, Lin Nan smiled, "I'm not going to shoot it now. After a year or two, I can shoot it as a commercial film, right?"

Without waiting for Ye Ning's reaction, Lin Nan got into the car directly, "Boss Ye, see you later."

Ye Ning subconsciously waved his hand, muttering: "Can it be a commercial film?"

…………

Over the past year, these domestic film companies have either been frightened by imported films, or they have had psychological shadows and fears after seeing their colleagues who have fallen around them.

So much so that intensive promotions have begun for movies in November, December, and even January next year.

No, "Big Shanghai" will be released in two months, and now they are already holding a press conference, looking very energetic!

"Two generations of Xu Wenqiang reappear in Shanghai..."

"Huang Xiaoming became a disciple of Zhou Runfa and joked that someone would be 'covering' him from now on!"

"Director Wang Jing said bluntly that he is confident that it will beat "1942", "Thailand", "Zodiac" and other movies at the box office."

…

Lin Nan returned to the company and was a little speechless when he saw the news about these movies.

Compared to previous years, these guys clearly had a head start this year.

"I would like to inform Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang that the promotion of "囧囧" can also start, and connect with the light."

"Okay, Director Lin."

The news from the media is very timely, and "Passengers" is the focus of their attention.

"Competition is fierce during the National Day holiday. "Passengers" has been in theaters for two weeks and its box office exceeded 650 million..."

"The total box office of "Dangerous Liaisons" was 34.4 million, which is no longer increasing. Compared with the cost of 200 million, the film studio suffered a huge loss."

""Tai Chi 1" exceeded 70 million, and the daily box office has dropped by 1 million. The ending is already foreseeable."

""Second Exposure" has reached 62.1 million, and the box office yesterday was 1.05 million..."

…

Han Sanping and others looked beaming. If this trend continues, it is inevitable that "Passengers" will surpass "Thieves".

Because there are still 20 days until the release, and the four days at the end of September are less than one week, there is no need to apply for an extension key.

Even if you want to apply, the bureau will not approve it at this special time.

…………

Liu Yifei didn't know what was wrong, so she started to tinker with her cooking skills again.

"Well, the instant noodles are cooked well, and you also added an egg?"

When Lin Nan came back, he saw Liu Yifei eating the noodles she cooked.

"Would you like to try it? I just suddenly wanted to take a bite, so I did it myself."

Miss Liu sucked a few noodles into her mouth and pushed them to Lin Nan, her watery eyes filled with anticipation.

She probably couldn't forget the times she "poisoned" Lin Nan in the past.

"Let me try."

Picking up Liu Yifei's small casserole, Lin Nan finished half of it in two or three mouthfuls.

"Well, that's right. This is probably your best cooking skill. It tastes just like the instant noodles I cook. Haha..."

Liu Yifei is not stupid. Saying this is the same as not saying it. She still has no talent for cooking.

"I won't give it to you to eat. Bring it here."

"Then you have to solve the problem quickly. If auntie comes back later and sees you eating this, she will scold you again."

"Then I'll tell you, you cooked it for me." Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows, a little cunningly.

Lin Nan didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Miss Liu has a lot of things that Liu's mother defines as junk food, and they are all placed at Lin Nan's side.

After all, no matter how old a daughter is, she can be easily suppressed in front of her old mother.

"After eating half of it, I guess you won't have enough. Let's go and make you a bowl of hand-rolled food."

Lin Nan put away Liu Yifei's small casserole, grabbed her hand and said.

"Well, okay, okay."

Lin Nan hasn't done anything for a long time. The food he cooks is delicious. Liu Yifei has always known it.

"Uncle said that when we get married, you will be responsible for cooking..."

Liu Yifei said this unexpectedly, Lin Nan's feet softened and she almost knelt down, biological father?

…

…

The circle became lively again.

When she got married, she was also a golden boy and caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry.

Who would have known that they would suddenly turn against each other and fall out.

Smoking, alcoholism, gambling, cheating, domestic violence...

A series of hats were slapped on so suddenly and on a large scale.

An overwhelming amount of posts appeared on the Internet overnight, pointing directly at the man.

Not only the man is confused, but the entire entertainment industry is a little confused.

Never heard of it before?

As the saying goes: Strike first and strike later to control others.

In a very short period of time, the entire Internet was mobilized, and a large number of netizens blindly followed the trend and were incited.

By the time the man reacted, the "crime" had already been established!

From the time the woman took action to the time the man was "convicted", it only took one night and half a morning.

"Good guy, are you taking sides again? These people have eaten too much and have nothing to do."

Lin Nan couldn't help but complain.

When he arrived at the company, he found that many employees were talking about it.

Turn on the computer, the media and the Internet are overwhelmingly filled with news about Ms. Dong reprimanding Mr. Pan, as well as a large number of posts and press releases detailing the man's "evil deeds" and "crimes."

Familiar taste, familiar recipe, familiar operation.

Many artists in the industry have taken sides with the woman and condemned the man.

It was as if they were all involved and had witnessed the man's "sinful deeds" at the scene!

"It's absolutely amazing!"
