Chapter 604: Halfway Through Filming, Prospectus

Over in Hollywood, the filming of "Manchester by the Sea" went smoothly.

The protagonist played by Leonardo becomes the guardian of his nephew due to his brother's last will and testament.

Because of family ties, he had to return to his hometown, the small town of Manchester, where he had been escaping.

That was the source of all his pain, sorrow, and regret—and the beginning of the plot.

The movie has officially entered a fast-paced shooting, with scenes featuring Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, and several young actors also unfolding.

domestic.

It is said that scripts involving gods and ghosts will be reviewed slowly. This is the first time Lin Nan Pictures has encountered this.

Fortunately, "Flower Thousand Bones" finally passed the review and was announced.

Immediately afterwards, the news was reported by a large number of media and quickly made the headlines of film and television information.

"Lin Nan Pictures' first costume fairy tale drama, "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" successfully passed the review and was officially approved as a project."

"The play is adapted from a well-known online novel and is a heroine type..."

The film and television industry is almost numb. From the beginning of the Spring Festival to now, everyone's eyes have hardly left Lin Nan and Lin Nan Pictures.

"Nirvana in Fire", Oscars, foreign language films, martial arts movies, fairy tale dramas... In just two months, they all exploded.

In addition, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is sprinting towards 2 billion, just a little short of it.

It has been dominating the box office list in the first quarter for more than a month, which is extremely dazzling!

Taken together, it is impossible for Lin Nan Pictures not to attract the attention of the industry.

However, while the film and television industry was cursing, they also immediately reacted.

This is a fairy tale!

Looking at the domestic TV drama market, there is no fairy tale drama that is not popular.

With the strength of Lin Nan Pictures, it will never mess up its own brand with shoddy production. There is a high probability that this TV series will be a high-quality drama.

And Shanhai Media only has a few actors? And half of them went to "Xiu Chun Dao 2".

Doesn't this mean that the casting for "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" will be open to the entire film and television industry? All actors and actresses in the industry have opportunities!

Just when most film and television companies in the industry were making plans with actors and artists, Jiang Yanrou and Lin Nan Pictures' Weibo updated the news at the same time.

"Flower Thousand Bones," a large-scale costume fairy tale independently produced by Lin Nan Pictures, will open casting calls for the film and television industry starting today.

All film and television companies, agencies, actors or artist studios are welcome to actively submit audition resumes..."

As soon as this Weibo post came out, the industry immediately became agitated.

However, everyone also discovered a problem:

There are many roles announced on the official website of Lin Nan Pictures, but the only thing missing is the heroine, that is, the heroine.

"It seems that it has been decided! Zhao Liying? Or Reba?"

Many actors and agents are aware of this problem.

Fortunately, there are still many eye-catching characters, including the male protagonist, several male supporting actors, multiple female supporting characters...

"It should be an informal decision. Don't think about it. Just wait for the filming of "Micro Love" directed by Gu next month. She is also the heroine after all."

"But fairy tale dramas are really popular! Liu Yifei and Yang Mi, they have all played fairy tales..."

"There's nothing wrong with that. It's already been decided. I can't disturb Director Lin and Yifei because of this matter, right? It's not appropriate."

Huang Xiaoming said with a smile. Although his voice was gentle, his tone was firm.

He knows very well that this is not how favors are used. The more you use them, the more you use them.

If you force it, it will only create a gap between everyone, and the gain outweighs the loss.

At night, it was very dark.

The crew had just finished shooting the scene where the hero played by Leonardo had his three children killed in a sea of ​​fire due to an unintentional mistake.

The character of Jessica's ex-wife was also convulsed and convulsed due to extreme and heart-rending grief, and was carried into an ambulance with oxygen inserted.

"The editor will be exhausted during the post-production of this movie."

Lin Nan looked up at the starry sky at night and joked.

At that time, the movie plot will constantly switch between reality and memories, without leaving any trace.

In reality, after the actor returns to Manchester, everything he encounters, even a casual remark from a passerby, can passively and reflexively remind him of the past that he does not want to face deep in his memory.

"When Leon was just holding bread and beer, standing in the crowd, watching the raging fire in his house, his mind was blank, he was unaware, he was in a state of pain, regret and helplessness. It was wonderful!"

Matt Damon liked it.

At this time, the staff was already packing up things.

I have to come over tomorrow morning to continue filming, and take a shot of a father watching the police search for the body of his child.

"Under the paralysis of alcohol and drugs, the hero's accidental fire became his nightmare for more than ten years."

Lin Nan yawned and added.

"Call it off, go home and go to bed quickly, I'm so sleepy... I didn't even answer Crystal's call today, I'm going to miss it! Ah... ugh..."

"Haha, Lin, you are so mean."

…

The fifth Mainland China’s unofficial and very disgusting film critics award, the Golden Broomstick Awards, has announced the winners.

Feng Xiaogang's "Private Customization", led by "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" and two "Little Times" films, won the Most Disappointing Film Award.

Guo Jingming and Sun Jianjun "deservedly" won the Most Disappointing Director Award.

Jing Tian won the Most Disappointing Actress Award for "Special Identity". There is really no excuse for this.

Originally, everything was the same as in previous years. The Golden Broom Awards were disgusting.

Even though they kept sending invitations and calling on the "winners" online to come and receive the awards, no one responded at all, and at most they perfunctorily said "I don't have time".

Maybe the Golden Broom Awards also thought so, so they kept showing their presence, very loudly.

As a result, the organizer made a mistake, and this time someone fought back, and it was fatal.

Guo Jingming may have been a little "angry" recently, and he directly tagged the Golden Broom Awards official:

"Last year, "Tiny Times" won the Best Film Award in the Film Channel Media Awards Unit of the Magic City International Film Festival.

Which one is more professional, the Golden Broom Awards or the Magic City International Film Festival? Who should I listen to?

Do you think you are more professional than the Magic City International Film Festival? Or do you deliberately disgust the expert judges at the Magic City International Film Festival?"

Good boy, Guo Xiaosi's questions were quite tricky, and instantly excited the circle and the media.

Everyone obviously knows that "Tiny Times" is terrible.

But when Guo Jingming brought up the only international A-class film festival in China, the organizers of the Golden Broom Awards were immediately at a loss.

They didn't even dare to defend themselves.

People on the Internet were mocking that the Golden Broom Awards were timid, and the film and television industry could understand while watching the joke.

After all, this is China, and many people in the founding team of the Golden Broom Awards rely on official media for their livelihoods, and they can't afford to offend the Magic City.

So the result was doomed. The Golden Broom Awards, which was still shouting in the morning, was completely silent in the afternoon.

…

Time passed quickly, and Lin Nan felt like he was working from nine to six, and working overtime from time to time.

Of course, when filming in Hollywood, the overtime pay for the staff is very high, and this is the benefit of having a union.

In the movie plot, the uncle and nephew had a disagreement on whether to leave Manchester and live in another place.

The nephew can't leave Manchester anymore, where his friends, classmates, and girlfriend are...

But for the male protagonist, staying in Manchester, he is suffering and suffering every minute and every second, and his emotions are on the verge of collapse.

His heart has long been dead, and no one can get in, including those women who have a crush on him.

"Manchester by the Sea, the filming is already halfway through.

Leon, after the film is finished, I hope you can get out of the role as soon as possible."

Although he is not worried that Leonardo will not be able to get out, Lin Nan still subconsciously reminded him.

The "death" of the protagonist in Leo is still quite obvious.

"Lin, don't worry about Leon. As long as he goes to a show, whether it is Victoria's Secret or Fashion Week, he will come back to life immediately, haha..."

Matt Damon teased unscrupulously on the side, and Jessica Chastain on the side also smiled and nodded.

Leonardo looked at Lin Nan and others with an indifferent look, "Haha, I know you two envy me, you don't have to say it."

Uh...

Lin Nan and Matt looked at each other, speechless!

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang are the producer and heroine of "Blade of the Assassins 2". Recently, the media jokingly called it the fourth collaboration of the "bestie duo".

After the two of them had been hanging out for a day, they met an old acquaintance in a coffee shop near Lin Nan Film Studio at around 4 pm.

"I am only 4 years older than you two, but today I look like I am 14 years older."

Jiang Xin touched his face and said with a sigh.

"Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" are still vivid in my mind. At that time, everyone was so young that they could squeeze out water.

But now, in comparison, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang have not changed at all, only she has become "rougher".

"Haha, don't say that." Liu Yifei smiled and pulled Shu Chang to sit down.

"Why did you think of having coffee with us today?"

Shu Chang asked with interest after ordering a cup of coffee with milk.

"I am just working hard for nothing." Jiang Xin said self-deprecatingly.

"Oh, I understand. Xixi, she invited you, I am superfluous." Shu Chang pretended to be sarcastic.

"Don't talk nonsense, even if you drink here until tomorrow, I will treat you."

After saying this, Jiang Xin looked at Liu Yifei, "I just went to your company for an audition today."

Liu Yifei felt a little embarrassed after saying this, and said with a smile on her face: "What? You are talking nonsense..."

Jiang Xin did not respond, but complained about himself:

"I played in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in vain, and it may also be because of my low emotional intelligence. I am getting worse and worse.

Although I felt that no one else could compare to me during the audition today, I still came to you for safety."

Liu Yifei understood now.

"It seems that the heroine has been decided?" Shu Chang looked at his girlfriend in confusion.

Before Liu Yifei could speak, Jiang Xin rolled his eyes like a "Hua Fei" and said:

"Do you think I look like someone who can play the leading role?"

"Haha... you're making me laugh to death."

Liu Yifei hit Shu Chang and nodded to Jiang Xin with a smile: "No problem, don't worry, you'll get a reply tomorrow."

"Thank you so much, come on, cheers."

...

The action of Sina Weibo attracted the attention of the film and television entertainment industry and the Internet industry.

The former announced that Weibo officially removed the prefix "Sina" and left only the two words "Weibo".

This announced that the dying Weibo business of the other two Internet companies had completely died, shut down the servers and stopped operations.

Today, there is indeed only one Weibo left on the market, from Sina, which is the only one!

This news is not big news.

What really made the two industries open their eyes wide was the "Prospectus for the Listing" released by Weibo!

The hundreds of pages of the prospectus detailed all the data, plans and expectations of Sina's Weibo from its birth to several rounds of financing, as well as the current scale, market share, future potential, etc.

From the prospectus and real examples alone, we can draw a conclusion that this is a unicorn company with great potential and market.

However, what shocked the film and television entertainment industry the most was the information about Lin Nan extracted from the prospectus by the media.

In the past, everyone only knew that Lin Nan got shares at the beginning of Weibo's establishment, but the specific number of shares was unknown in the industry.

I remember that before the release of "The Flowers of War", there was a manuscript online titled "I and Bell Acted in a Bed Scene", which made Zhang Yimou's actresses Ni Yi and Zhang Yimou feel ashamed.

At that time, there was a rumor that Zhang Yimou asked Lin Nan for help, and then the manuscript was quickly removed and Zhang Dapao was banned for a period of time.

Now it seems that this rumor is not groundless, it is true!
