Chapter 568: What’s the Point of Buying Films?

When it is said to be finished, it is finished, without any ambiguity.

"The comedy film "The Breakup Master", jointly produced by Enlight Pictures and Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Deng Chao, and starring Deng Chao and Yang Mi, took nearly a month to shoot and has officially finished today."

"Deng Chao, who is directing for the first time, said that he will complete the post-production of the film as soon as possible and strive to meet the audience in the first half of next year."

Wang Changtian specially called Lin Nan to come and attend the wrap-up banquet together.

"The special effects of "The Four Famous Detectives Finale" have been produced. Director Wang will send someone to Tiangong Color to inspect it."

"Finally completed? It is just right to put it in the second half of next year, one before and one after "The Breakup Master." Old Wang said a little excitedly.

Lin Nan smiled and shook his head, without answering. Maybe he will have to fight with Enlight next year.

Because "Ip Man 3" and "The Invisible Guest" will be released in the mainland next year.

Thinking of "The Invisible Guest", Lin Nan reacted to one thing.

Han Sanping once suggested that Lin Nan go to La Peikang to ask for the quota for next year's batch of films after he retired.

During this period, it seems that China Film Group Corporation is planning its second-year work plan.

In North America, The Invisible Guest will be released in a month.

Lin Nan knew that he should go to see La Peikang, so why not do it today!

"Director Wang, I'm leaving first."

"Why are you leaving so soon after the banquet?" Wang Changtian asked in confusion.

"Go to China Film Group Corporation."

Hearing this answer, Wang Changtian had nothing to say. He must be going to see the new chairman.

"Okay, business is more important."

Under the puzzled eyes of Deng Chao, Yang Mi, Xie Nan and others, Lin Nan left the hotel.

He drove straight to China Film Group Corporation and arrived in less than half an hour.

I don't know why. He came here twice last month, but this time, when Lin Nan drove into the gate of China Film Group Corporation, he felt inexplicably sad.

"Director Lin?"

At the reception desk, someone saw Lin Nan and ran over.

"Han... Is Mr. La here?"

"Yes, there's someone here now, you need to wait a moment."

"Okay."

Lin Nan sat in the reception room, eating fruit casually as before, until ten minutes later, he saw someone coming out of the chairman's office.

"Wu Yusen! Look at your face, something's wrong?"

After Wu Yusen and his group walked away, someone came to invite Lin Nan, it was La Peikang's secretary, who had met him once before.

Sure enough, Han Sanping's secretary was transferred.

"Director Lin, Mr. La, please come in."

"Okay."

After a month, when I walked into the office of the chairman of China Film again, the layout and decoration were completely different, much more elegant.

At this time, there were only four words in Lin Nan's mind: things have changed.

But when La Peikang saw Lin Nan's expression, he was smiling like Han Sanping before.

This was the first time Lin Nan came here after La Peikang took office, and the first time he came here for business.

"Lin Nan, come on, sit down."

"Boss La, I came here today to ask for something."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, La Peikang's smile seemed to grow even brighter, "It's all easy, all easy."

The next moment, La Peikang sighed again: "Alas, it would be great if everyone could be like you. Wu Yusen just left, and it was all a headache."

"Director Wu, what happened to him? Haha." Lin Nan asked curiously.

"It's okay to tell you. "The Crossing" is seriously overspent. The original budget of the several companies was as high as 400 million, but now at least 80 million has to be added. Boss Han has left me a big problem."

Oh, Lin Nan couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.

This investment is close to 500 million, and several Chinese film companies have to continue to follow up!

At the beginning, Lin Nan had already told Han Sanping clearly not to invest in this project, but he just didn't listen. Now it's good.

With an additional investment of 80 million, the box office must be at least 200 million more, and this is because China Film has a cinema chain that can reduce some pressure.

"Well, it's really a headache. I remember that when I was filming "Red Cliff", a similar thing happened in the middle."

"Yes, I have to learn from it. I fell twice in the same place..."

La Peikang nodded and said, and then looked at Lin Nan with a smile, "Tell me about why you came here today."

"Boss La, I want a quota for the film. I want to introduce my film "The Invisible Guest" to China."

"No problem, I will ask someone to send a document to your company later. As for the film review, it depends on you."

La Peikang said without hesitation, very straightforward.

"Thank you, Boss La."

"Don't be polite with me, just treat it as Boss Han. By the way, while you are here today, I will ask you by the way, how is the film "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy"? This is the key film project ranked first in the group."

Lin Nan looked at La Peikang with a kind smile on his face, and spoke frankly.

"Boss La, the special effects of this movie can be completed by the end of November at the latest. I want to release it during the Spring Festival. At present, you are the second person besides me who knows about it."

"Hahaha, OK, OK, the Spring Festival is good, the Spring Festival is good. I will keep it a secret. I can help with scheduling and postponement."

La Peikang smiled happily, not knowing whether it was because the movie was released during the Spring Festival or because he was the second person to know about it.

Lin Nan didn't think much about it. After staying for half an hour, he left China Film.

…………

People in the industry know what a "popular actress" is.

People like Yang Mi who are so busy that their feet never touch the ground are "popular actresses".

At the end of September, I finished filming on the set of "The Ancient Sword" and immediately joined the set of "The Breakup Master".

Now that "The Breakup Master" has been completed, there will be other arrangements soon.

Just two days later, Guo Jingming and several companies from Tianyu disclosed the movie news to the outside world.

"Directed by the new commercial film director Guo Jingming, starring Yang Mi, Guo Caijie, Guo Biting, Ke Zhendong and others, the movie "Tiny Times 3" has officially started filming."

"The third and fourth parts of the "Tiny Times" series will be shot in the same way as the first and second parts..."

"Director Guo Jingming promises to ensure that "Tiny Times 3" can meet the fans and audiences next year."

…

“When an actor takes on roles so frequently, she is no longer an actor, but becomes a star and a tool to make money.

Not only will your acting skills not improve at all, but because of the continuous rotation, you will fall into a fast-food-style fixed performance mode. Your acting skills will become rigid, perfunctory, and finally degrade! "

Lin Nan commented directly on Yang Mi. Liu Yifei nodded and stared at Lin Nan:

"I often study and practice to improve myself. If my acting skills still can't improve, it's definitely not my fault."

"Haha, whose fault is that?"

"It's your fault. If a great director can't help his girlfriend keep improving, then it's your problem."

Liu Yifei said matter-of-factly, and a smile overflowed from her face the next moment.

Lin Nan smiled and nodded, shook his head again, and said in a conspiratorial manner: "What you said is not comprehensive, and there is another point. I really can't help."

"Ah? Tell me quickly, where is it?"

Liu Yifei immediately jumped on Lin Nan, wrapped her arms around his neck, and asked "threateningly".

Lin Nan turned around and hugged Liu Yifei into his arms, and then gently held up Liu Yifei's face: "Your face is so beautiful. It seriously hinders your acting skills."

While talking, Lin Nan gave her a kiss.

Liu Yifei chuckled, "Then there's no need to change this. Besides, isn't my figure bad?"

"Hmm? It can be further developed, such as buttocks and breasts, hehe."

"Fuck you, go to hell! Don't..."

…………

The next day, Lin Nan sat in the office, yawning constantly.

"I just found out that their company is actually in Hengdian. I came here specially last time." Yue Jun sighed with emotion.

"Hengdian? That's quite far away, but where you choose it also shows the determination of Noon Sunshine."

Yue Jun nodded: "Hou Hongliang and I talked on the phone and explained our ideas. The two companies will jointly produce it, and they will be responsible for the production.

They will get a proportionate share of the TV station's income from several rounds of broadcast rights and Tudou's exclusive broadcast income, but we have to buy back the final copyright. "

"Then, what do you say over there?"

"Hou Hongliang said that we need to hold a meeting to discuss, but I think they should agree." Yue Jun said confidently.

"Um?"

"Although they were born in Shanying, since they came out, public and private have been separated. In private film and television companies, they are still too weak. Cooperating with us will only benefit them, and there will be no harm!"

Yue Jun's analysis makes sense.

Is making money important in this world? The answer is that it does matter. But compared to connections, simply talking about money is inferior.

It is very interesting to plant a seed, expand your network of people, and be thanked by others.

If Lin Nan stops filming one day, he can still arrange the people around him, because he is a capital, a big director, and he has wide connections in the industry!

…………

In the blink of an eye, October has passed.

"Special Identity" failed at 135 million and was downplayed by theaters. Starry Star had no objections.

Donnie Yen is already a complete joke. He has spoken nonsense to the outside world countless times and thrown himself into the street countless times.

Facts have proved that not only can he not handle the box office, but he is also a box office poison.

Hua Yi's "The Dragon King of the City of Gods" is really damn good. It really maintains a daily box office of more than one million every day. The stability is a bit weird and completely unscientific.

As for how many tricks there are, that's up to the beholder.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are staying at home these days and not traveling far.

Ms. Liu even turned down several announcements just to stagger the time for Zhu Yawen's wedding.

But before Lao Zhu's wedding, the news of another female star's public love affair set the entire entertainment industry on fire!

The Internet is in an uproar. I really can’t believe it. Is this love, or is there something wrong with my brain? Picture what?

Alas, I wanted to write more, but failed again.
