Chapter 469 Animation Film Project

Lost in Thailand is unstoppable.

From the sixth day, the daily box office has remained stable at around 60 million, crushing the weak and the rotten.

The second round of blockbusters will be released after the 20th.

This means that Lost in Thailand will have no competitors within the first 20 days and will almost have the entire schedule to itself.

"Most viewers have a simple idea. It's the end of the year, and they just want to watch a movie to relax. Comedy is their top priority."

Lin Nan would not say that Huayi and Feng Xiaogang chose the wrong schedule, because the subject matter of 1942 is destined to have a bad box office no matter which schedule it is in.

In this case, it is better to choose the Lunar New Year schedule with more audiences. At least with word of mouth, the hope of getting a high box office will be greater.

If the movie is put in other schedules, it may not even have the current performance of 250 million in 9 days, unless the government booked the theater.

"Speaking of which, they did overestimate the audience's tolerance. Ten out of ten people cried when they went in. After coming out, it took a long time for them to calm down, so there were almost no audiences who went back to watch it for the second time."

Lin Nan said with some emotion. At this moment, the outside world has generally recognized that "Lost in Thailand" will likely be the biggest winner or one of the winners of the Lunar New Year holiday.

After reading the supplementary contract in his hand, Lin Nan handed it to Yue Jun, "Just follow this and connect them to the three of them as soon as possible."

"Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang just declined a few times and accepted it. Xu Zheng is different. He talked to me for the whole morning."

"What do you mean by following the original contract? No director's salary, only 70% off the actor's salary. He also played three refusal and three concessions. Isn't this a waste of effort?" Yue Jun couldn't help but tease.

Lin Nan also laughed. Isn't this a smart person? Xu Zheng is probably still thinking about the next one at this moment.

After all, as long as the director's path is completely successful, what he missed from Lin Nan Pictures can be easily made up in other places in the future, and it will be countless times more.

The gossip about Tangren and its own artists suing each other has attracted more and more attention in the circle.

Not only did all Tangren actors unfollow Lin Gengxin, but at the same time, a lot of negative news about the latter also emerged on the Internet.

Unprofessional during filming, poor character, poor acting skills, bad temper, no quality, and no gratitude...

I don’t know if Cai Yinong has a problem with her brain or is too confident.

She actually conveyed to the outside world that she wanted to ban Lin Gengxin.

But obviously, she overestimated her and Tangren’s influence.

Not many companies gave face, most of them were cold-eyed and watched, and there were even many who sneered and sang the opposite tune.

"Mr. Cai, Yang Mi’s Weibo has not been deleted. Zeng Jia didn’t even answer our calls."

The secretary’s words added fuel to Cai Yinong’s heart.

As a person with a strong desire for control, her artists rebelled, which she absolutely could not tolerate. These days, she has already lost face.

Especially Yang Mi’s Weibo, which has caused a greater negative impact on Tangren. There are all kinds of things said on the Internet, most of which are directed at Tangren and her.

But Cai Yinong had no choice. Although the conflict with Yang Mi was before the latter signed Shanhai Media, if she used other means to deal with Yang Mi now, she would definitely have to go through Shanhai Media, which made her afraid.

"Forget it, let's ignore her for now. Has the lawyer team been arranged?"

Cai Yinong thought for a moment and waved his hand. There would always be a chance to teach her a lesson in the future.

"It has been arranged. I will come on time in the afternoon."

Cai Yinong nodded. In her opinion, Lin Gengxin was so tough and confident, and there must be someone behind him to support her.

The lawsuit was settled. First, Tangren's face could not be lost, and second, it was a warning to the monkey.

More importantly, Cai Yinong decided to learn from this lesson and revise the artist's contract again to strengthen the binding force.

This is also another reason for the lawyer team to come. The new contract should be more stringent, the contract time should be longer, and the cost of breach of contract should be higher!

…………

Originally, everyone in the circle thought that Lu Chuan's hiring of water army was over.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the association actually jumped out again.

The Film Association issued a statement expressing understanding and sympathy for Lu Chuan's hiring of Internet trolls.

Some "veterans" even praised Lu Chuan for her courage to admit to hiring Internet trolls.

In less than half a day, many big directors in the industry directly refuted the association.

Director He Ping even named and scolded Lu Chuan without naming her:

"Once the movie is released, everything the director should say is in the movie, and there is no need to explain the movie.

If the investor spent hundreds of millions and still can't make you express clearly, you still have to spend money to hire Internet trolls to maintain the reputation.

That can only mean two things: first, the investor chose you blindly; second, you are very incompetent, very incompetent!"

...

Tian Zhuangzhuang also spoke for the first time:

"If even the Internet trolls can't 'maintain' the reputation of a movie, then the director should reflect on it. Maybe it's not the Internet trolls of competitors who are blackmailing you, but the real audience..."

…………

Awkward, extremely embarrassing!

Lin Nan, watching the news at home, could imagine how embarrassed the association and Lu Chuan were.

The ones who didn't give the association face and killed Lu Chuan this time were all fifth-generation directors, pillars of status and position in the industry.

"It will probably only take a day or two."

"What do you mean a day or two?" Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"The movie "The King's Feast" is almost out of the box office. It will probably be canceled in the next two days."

Lin Nan looked at the charming Liu Yifei and explained.

"When "囧囧" is almost finished, I will go to Crystal Pictures."

"I am coming too."

"Don't you still have so many announcements lined up?"

Liu Yifei's current announcements are all about high-end endorsements and brand activities. The closer it is to the end of the year, the busier she will be.

"Are you stupid? I can fly back and forth. Besides, there are many brand exhibitions and shows abroad."

"Huh? That's fine. As long as you're not tired, it's up to you. But in this case, someone will have to pack up the Beverly Hills villa in advance."

Lin Nan took Liu Yifei into his arms and said warmly.

…………

It’s that time again every year when the three major colleges and universities announce their admissions plans for art exams.

This vanity fair attracts tens of thousands of candidates and flocks to it.

China National Theater announced that although the new campus has been built, the performance department will not expand its enrollment within ten years. It will still only recruit a maximum of two classes of 50 students each year.

But Nortel is different.

The undergraduate performance department has expanded its enrollment from 30 to 75 students, not counting the 30 in higher vocational classes.

But how many of these expanded enrollment quotas will fall on ordinary students?

Many people in the circle who have children, relatives and friends have already started to take action and run.

What Lin Nan didn't expect was that he would be greeted by people from the school and asked if there were any "promising talents" that he could recommend to apply to his alma mater.

The meaning behind these words is very naked. But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

Just like when the school leaders went directly to Zhang Yimou to talk about Zhou Dongyu, everyone has already acquiesced to the status quo of this circle connected by interpersonal relationships, nepotism, and interests.

In line with the principle of "no waste", Lin Nan also specifically asked Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin and others.

"Great directors are different. Unfortunately, I don't really have any relatives or friends I need. If I do, I'll look for you again."

"However, the school contacted me and hoped that I could return to the platform during the art exam. After all, it has been exactly 10 years since we first entered school. I guess the same is true for you and Yifei?"

Zhu Yawen changed her tone and asked about Lin Nan.

"Haha, Yifei was a guest at the art exam last year, but her outlook was completely changed. This year she refused decisively and said she wouldn't go. It's even more impossible for me to go. There are still things to do later."

"Then I have to be mentally prepared. I heard that there are people who can't even tell who the four famous authors are, haha."

…

In 10 days, the box office was 620 million.

"囧" far surpassed "1942"'s 12-day score of 300 million, becoming the most eye-catching movie in the Lunar New Year season so far.

"Looking at this situation, if nothing else happens, it is expected to become the second movie to exceed 1 billion..."

Many production companies, while envious, cannot accept it.

After all the hard work, big investment, big production, and big cast, is it possible that a mid- to low-cost comedy with an investment of 30 million will finally take the lead in this Lunar New Year season?

"Directed by director Li An, "Life of Pi" has a total domestic box office revenue of 570 million and was successfully released."

"The movie "The King's Feast" has failed both in terms of reputation and box office. With a total box office of 64.2 million today, it regrettably withdrew from the competition for the Lunar New Year slot."

"Director Lu Chuan said that one despicable act of suppression and smearing will not defeat him. In the future, he will come back with more excellent film works."

""Big Shanghai" held its world premiere at the Singapore Film Festival..."

The renewed popularity of "囧囧" has led to more film projects seeking investment from Lin Nan Pictures.

Everyone knows that there is money here, and it can also help the film's reputation and reputation, but there are really few good projects.

There is never a shortage of funds and discerning people in the industry. For a slightly better project, someone will invest and occupy space as soon as the project is established.

Most of the projects that hit a wall have some problems or are too risky.

Over the years, Yue Jun has been handling all the people who come looking for investment, including the filmmakers who have been coming to the door in droves in the past two days.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei visited the crew of "Space Traveler", and the filming of this movie has also reached the last third.

"I'm confident that it will be completed in two weeks at most."

During the break, Guo Fan said confidently. A group of main actors also gathered around.

It can be seen that the leading actors got along very well during this period and were very enthusiastic about each other.

"I remembered, is your "Gone with the Wind" premiering in the past two days?"

Lin Nan looked at Luo Jin and Tang Yan in front of him and asked.

"Yes."

Tang Yan smiled and replied that she was more talkative than Luo Jin.

"They didn't come together in the TV series, and they didn't come together in the movie either. How about you guys try it in reality? Haha..."

"Come on, don't mess with the mandarin duck records. If someone else has a partner, it's not good to spread the word."

Luo Jin stopped loudly and looked at Lin Nan with a disgusted expression.

"Thank you, Director Lin, for your concern."

Tang Yan also smiled, but it seemed a little unnatural.

Liu Yifei was already chatting and laughing with Reba. She has the potential to be a big sister!

As soon as he said hello to "Lu Bu", Lin Nan's cell phone vibrated. It belonged to Yue Jun.

Sitting in Guo Fan's director's chair, Lin Nan answered the phone.

…

"Are you sure you're not kidding? You really found a good project by looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Lin Nan never rejected those people and projects who came to the company to solicit investment.

But he never had too much expectation, just like those scripts sent to Hongxingwu, 99.9% of them were unqualified, and occasionally there were a few decent ones, and they asked for a lot.

"I really think this project is good and there is a way!"

Yue Jun said loudly on the other end of the phone.

This was the first time Lin Nan heard Yue Jun say this, and his curiosity was instantly aroused.

"What type of movie? Costume or modern? Comedy, suspense, science fiction or crime, or a few of them?"

Lin Nan didn't ask who the director was or who the screenwriter was.

Because those who have a little strength and fame will definitely not worry about investment. Those who can find Yue Jun by sending emails and making appointments are basically not very famous.

"None of them."

Yue Jun's words made Lin Nan a little confused.

"What do you mean?"

He asked subconsciously, his voice a little louder.

Liu Yifei and others looked at Lin Nan, who waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

Yue Jun only chuckled and replied:

"Director Lin, you really guessed wrong this time. It's not what you said."

"What is that?"

"It's an animated film project."
