Chapter 572: Deafening, Continue the Bet
The attention of the entire film and television industry was attracted by the latest movie information.
Four companies, China Film, Lin Nan Pictures, Enlight and Wanda, issued announcements at the same time:
"Directed by director Lin Nan and produced by Liu Yifei, starring Han Sanping, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing and others, the main theme commercial film "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" will be released on the Spring Festival."
Immediately afterwards, all the main creative staff reposted this Weibo and called on fans and audiences to go to the cinema to support the first "main theme commercial film" of domestic films.
The news of the scheduled release of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was like a bomb thrown into the "oil bin" of the Lunar New Year stalls, and it exploded with a "bang"!
"There are only two months left before the Spring Festival, and now a tiger suddenly comes in? Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"Have you noticed that this is the first time that Director Lin Nan has entered the Lunar New Year schedule..."
"Damn it! Isn't there going to be blood this Spring Festival? Are the movies like "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" and "Macau" in danger?"
"The movies released during the Lunar New Year period in December are okay, but the movies released during the Spring Festival period are really miserable. Director Lin suddenly drew his knife. This was obviously prepared, ready to cook the sheep and slaughter the cow!"
"Don't forget, the 'main theme commercial film' defined by director Lin Nan is also a main theme movie. If it doesn't work, there will be a high probability of being postponed... A moment of silence for the movies in March in advance!"
…
Although many producers and film companies have said that it is impossible for movies with main themes to have high box office, they are all silent now.
The industry had to admit that they were frightened by Lin Nan's operation, and many production companies were on pins and needles.
In the past, Lin Nan had never come to the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival stalls to wander around. This year, everyone naturally did not consider "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" as a competitor.
As a result, he suddenly came out. Didn't he want everyone to have a heart attack? His heart is so cruel!
The key is that Lin Nan's past achievements are unreasonable. This time it is a commercial film with the main theme of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom".
The most important thing is that it was Han Sanping, the "mountain eagle" who played the "mountain eagle"!
You know, the nickname "Mountain Eagle" has become famous all over the Internet since Zhang Weiping called it out in 2009.
Now a large number of netizens are discussing this "gimmick" and clamoring to go to the theater to support it. Even if the movie is not directed by Lin Nan, they still have to go and see the "style" of the chairman of China Film Group. This is a real "mountain" "Diao" is going to enter the history of film!
Since the four producers announced the movie schedule this morning, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has instantly made headlines.
It meets all the hotly discussed requirements: the director is Lin Nan, the actor is Han Sanping, it was suddenly scheduled for the Spring Festival, and the industry was caught off guard...
Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the announcements of several blockbusters such as "Havoc in Heaven" and "Macau" on Weibo.
"Welcome director Lin Nan to bring the movie "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" to be scheduled for the Spring Festival. Several blockbusters will be released on the same day. This is a benefit for the audience and also a competition between peers. I hope there can be fair competition..."
"Welcome me? Haha, thank you. I hope you won't curse anyone behind your back then..." Lin Nan muttered with a smile.
…………
When he returned home from the company, Lin Nan was stunned for a moment when he saw a "guest".
"Xi Ke, why are you here?"
"Why can't I come over? I'm here to see Producer Liu and ask if there are any resources suitable for me."
Zhou Xun's ability to tell lies with his eyes open makes him worthy of being a three-time Best Actress.
"speak English."
"She was just passing by here and stopped by." Liu Yifei answered first, but Zhou Xun rolled her eyes.
"Passing by? Where have you been? Are you still passing by?"
Lin Nan sat down to the side, took the sliced apple that Miss Liu handed to him, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I went to Huayi and signed a contract." Zhou Xunfeng said calmly.
Lin Nan nodded. Zhou Xun has his own studio, so he can figure it out by himself. However, "It's been several years since the contract was terminated. Why should I go back and sign a contract?"
"Being the heroine of a movie, I think it's quite interesting and fresh. Anyway, I have quite a lot of free time, so I just take it as a joke. Besides, Hua Yi pays me a lot for the film."
This was said so casually, which was exactly Zhou Xun's style.
"What movie? You didn't say anything just now."
Liu Yifei stuffed another piece of orange into Lin Nan's mouth and asked in passing.
"What's it called "Women who act like a spoiled brat are the best?" This kind of movie is easy for me to handle. Well, this is my fifth time partnering with Xiao Ming! Haha..."
When Lin Nan heard the name of the movie, he didn't say anything. It was just a love movie. However, paired with Zhou Xun, I think Huang's acting skills will not be a problem.
"Then give it a good performance, I'm really looking forward to it."
"What to expect?" Zhou Xun asked doubtfully.
"Looking forward to how 'Mr. Zhou' will act like a spoiled child, haha..."
"If you say that, then I'm looking forward to it too." Liu Yifei followed Lin Nan, the two husbands and wives followed each other, joking about Zhou Xun.
"You two have gone too far!"
…………
Ning Hao is really a ruthless person. I heard that the crew worked overtime and used actresses as actors and actors as livestock.
In this way, he was forced to complete "The Flowers of the Heart" before the end of the year.
As one of the investors, Lin Nan made a special trip to Bad Monkey.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being a road movie. Director Ning, who originally looks "ordinary", looks even more vicissitudes.
"Those who know you are 7 years older than me. Those who don't know you would think you are 17 years older than me!
I remember that the movie "Heart Flower Road" had an alternative name called "Fatal Encounter". Director Ning, you are not going to "Fatal Encounter" this time, right? Haha..."
Hearing Lin Nan's teasing, Ning Hao's face suddenly darkened.
"How can you talk like that? A professional director should be like me.
Look at Director Zhang Yimou, Director Chen Kaige, and Director Gu Changwei, each one is better than the other. The most well-dressed one may be Jiang Wen. As for you, you are purely an outlier!"
"Also, I advise you not to slander my innocence. If your sister hears it, you will have to toss again..."
As Ning Hao spoke, his voice became smaller and disappeared. Because Xing Aina came over.
"Ning Hao will start promoting the movie "No Man's Land" tomorrow. Fortunately, it doesn't conflict with your "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", otherwise it would be hard to say."
"That sister is joking. Even if the schedule is the same, these two movies are not on the same track."
"By the way, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back for the premiere of my "No Man's Land", right?" Ning Hao asked about this.
"Well, I can't come back. But don't worry, I can shoot a VCR for you and play it at the premiere. It's a pity for this "No Man's Land."
As he spoke, Lin Nan thought of the original version of "No Man's Land", which exposed the dark side of human nature nakedly and deeply.
"Okay, I'll wait for your VCR. Who knows, maybe you'll win a little golden man in early March next year, hehe..."
"Let's wait until I'm successfully nominated. What about the little golden man? Even if I'm nominated, I may not get the little golden man, let alone the little golden man for Best Director that I want..."
"As long as I can win an award, even if it's the little golden man for Best Screenwriter, it will be the first in the mainland! Don't you think so? Haha..." Xing Aina also joked with a smile.
…………
The Golden Horse Awards officially opened two days before the middle of the month.
On the red carpet of the opening ceremony, Li An led a total of 58 best directors, best actors, and best actresses in the past, and walked the red carpet in a mighty manner.
However, the media also noticed that these 58 people were only a part of the previous winners.
There were also many filmmakers who won awards who were absent, including last year's Best Director Lin Nan and Best Actress Liu Yifei, who did not come.
However, after Li An explained in front of the media, the discussion was reduced.
After all, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", directed by Lin Nan and produced by Liu Yifei, has just been scheduled, and the promotion is being arranged.
"Director Lin, it's not easy to get the patch ads for this movie, after all, it's the main theme."
"Why, is there a small number of advertisers? Or is the price low?" Lin Nan asked doubtfully.
Hearing this question, Yue Jun laughed instantly.
"Director Lin, you guessed me wrong this time. There are not only many advertisers, but also high prices! As for the reason, it's because this is a main theme commercial film, and it's directed by you.
Think about the administrative level when Mr. Han participated in the film. Everyone is not stupid. This kind of film will be given special care..."
Lin Nan can only say that he is worthy of being a domestic businessman. His sense of smell in this regard is sensitive.
Because whether it is La Peikang, Tong Gang, or Han Sanping, they all swore to Lin Nan "hint" that he could "try" to apply for the extension key at that time.
"So it's hard to choose a brand?"
"Yes, the three patch ads for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" can no longer be decided by whichever company pays the most.
We have to pay attention to the impact this time, right? We can't give a patch ad for a main theme movie to an island brand! Don't you think so?"
At this moment, Lin Nan's eyes widened. Yue Jun's words were simply deafening!
Even Lin Nan himself didn't realize this. This matter can be big or small, but it is also an attitude, isn't it?
"Well said, I've learned a lesson!" Lin Nan gave Yue Jun a thumbs up.
"Haha, Director Lin is polite." Yue Jun waved his hand quickly.
"Then this time, you should choose carefully. When I come back from Hollywood, give me the final list of brands and commercials."
"Okay."
Yue Jun had just left Lin Nan's office when Ye Ning called.
Lin Nan had a vague guess in his heart, "Mr. Ye called me to talk about the revenue-sharing model, right?"
"Director Lin is smart! That's the thing, but other theaters asked me to contact you. Regarding the revenue-sharing model of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", a small number of theaters hope that Director Lin can consider giving up the overall gambling model..."
"Is their reason that this is a mainstream movie and the box office may not be that good?" Lin Nan laughed.
"Yes, that's right."
"Since you think the box office won't be too high, why don't you come to talk to me yourself, but ask you to? I think Mr. Ye already has the answer in his mind, right?"
"I can guess that they want to take advantage, but Wanda is the producer and will definitely stand on the side of Director Lin.
As a theater, taking the initiative to bring up this matter is already on the disadvantaged side. Fortunately, it is some small theaters... I just came to tell Director Lin about this matter. In addition?"
"Mr. Ye, I can tell you clearly that I will still choose the total box office gambling revenue-sharing model this time, but you can keep it secret for now. I will meet with everyone after I come back from Hollywood."
“Haha, in that case, they will be the first to get anxious.”
