Chapter 1089 On Scientists and Celebrities; Official Announcement
Chapter 1089: On scientists and celebrities; official announcement...
"In the morning, Tangren Pictures and its subsidiary Jiang Jinfu filed several judicial lawsuits regarding unilateral forced termination of the contract, defamation of reputation, multiple breach of contract performances during the contract period, etc., and a low-key court session was held in Shanghai..."
"The comedy film "The Donkey Gets Water", co-produced by Happy Twist and produced by Lin Nan Pictures and adapted from an original drama, officially launched in theaters across the country this morning. Director Lin Nan spoke highly of the film at the premiere ”
"It is reported that the Oriental fantasy special effects masterpiece "Asura", controlled by Ning Ying and with a huge investment of 750 million, has completed all location scenes. An insider revealed:
"Asura" is similar to "Game of Thrones" in many aspects such as character modeling, location selection, and costume design; it is full of "Western flavor" and there are no Eastern elements! "
…
“Look, because of Wang Baoqiang’s incident, the ‘high intellectuals’ are scolding them again, saying that the film and television entertainment industry is arrogant and extravagant, excessively occupying social public resources, and bringing bad social atmosphere;
One moment it’s the ‘wedding of the century’, another moment it’s a cuckold divorce lawsuit, and another moment it’s the salary and net worth… The status and treatment of scientists are far inferior to that of stars and actors! "
Ning Hao stood there, imitating the experts and professors in universities, criticizing the film and television entertainment industry "with great sadness". After "criticizing", he couldn't help laughing.
"They are all experts and professors from the Institute of Social and Humanities. Can they really not understand the difference between the entertainment industry and the scientific world?
One is the highly market-oriented entertainment business, and the other is the aloof and high-end scientific research field! How come the blame for everything can be thrown at the film and television entertainment industry?
Other top scientists, especially inventive ones, are also worth a lot of money. Why aren't they jealous of these scientific research giants? I haven't seen Mr. Yuan pay attention to this all day long?
People just engage in their own scientific research, and they want to be famous, have great heights, and have wealth! Those who keep shouting all day long are probably jealous, right? "
Huang Bo complained unceremoniously while thinking about his biography. Faced with such voices from the outside world, smart people in the industry never pay attention to them.
“Investing in science and investing in the film and television entertainment industry are both high-risk and high-return. But when investing in science, the market return cycle is too long and exceeds the immediate return demand for investment capital.
Therefore, in the investment market, the investment value of scientists is far less than that of actors... This is also a status that is displeasing to a small number of "highly educated people" who have high social status but do not have the corresponding wealth status.
Of course, the film and television entertainment industry has indeed been very crazy in the past two years. A scalpel operation is urgently needed, and a big operation at that! "As Lin Nan spoke, he looked at Huang Bo.
"Don't bother me, Director Lin. Although the artist is a top-notch star, but for me, it is definitely the most favored price among favors. This is to deal with his agency, otherwise he can get zero pay!"
Huang Bo, the quasi-director, immediately explained with a playful smile that there was no way, who wanted to put Zhang Yixing into his "A Good Show".
"Let him go. He successfully tricked you before and made you promise not to interfere with his casting. Isn't this guy a thief? I'll be waiting for you then. Hehe..."
Ning Hao looked at Lin Nan and decisively gave "Director Huang" eye drops.
"It's up to you. You're the director anyway, so just take care of him."
Lin Nan was just surprised that Huang Bo "taken care of" a traffic star like this. During the casting process for "Operation Red Sea," he recommended Zhang Yixing, who was treated like his own son.
"That's natural, I will take care of it." Huang Bo was confident and made an OK gesture.
"Oh, by the way, let me inform you two in advance. Huanxi Club will hold a new shareholder and partner signing ceremony and media conference again on December 3. Be sure to come to the dinner then, but don't tell me you have other plans. Invitation The letter will be sent out in two days.”
"The lineup of the Happy Directors Alliance has finally taken shape. Not to mention, it's a bit scary!" Huang Bo exclaimed with a wink.
Lin Nan didn't stay long. He was just stopping by Bad Monkey on his way home from Han Sanping.
Next, he has to prepare to be "busy". Because starting from today, the casting process for "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has officially entered a countdown.
At almost 12 noon, Lin Nan drove back home. At the same time, Feng Xiaogang's Dongyang Mira and Huayi also announced the complete casting list of "Youth".
A brand new "Feng Girl" appeared in front of the entire film industry.
Not only that, the industry also found that Feng Xiaogang's casting this time was quite unique: he used a large number of "unknown" young actors, which is completely opposite to his style in the past ten years.
Some "well-informed" media have even ridiculed on the Internet: Director Feng Da has controlled the cost of actors to the extreme this time, just two words: both "save" and "make money"!
"Feng Xiaogang treated casting as a business this time, so the cost of "Youth" was reduced to just over 100 million. All actors basically received very low salaries, and some roles were even sold for money!"
Hearing what Lin Nan said, Liu Yifei's eyes widened in surprise, "Isn't this too calculating?"
"Bet, for profit, he will do anything." Lin Nan commented on Feng Xiaogang with great certainty.
Hearing this, Liu Yifei nodded in agreement. Don’t the people at Huayi all have this kind of mentality and style? Nothing wrong!
"By the way, Hongxingwu has transferred the 60 million into the project account of "A Good Show" this morning."
"I know, Huang Bo told me just now when we were on Bad Monkey. The script has been reviewed for only a week or two. At that time, you, the producer, need to go there from time to time and care about the selection. The horn thing.”
"That's natural." Miss Liu wrinkled her nose, looking down on her? Lin Nan didn't need to be reminded about this.
Now that we are back home, the two of us will continue to stay at home after lunch...walking the dog, feeding the cat, and doing fitness runs with Ms. Liu...
This house is just another day.
The next morning, "Donkey Gets Water" achieved good results for Happy Twist and Lin Nan Pictures with a first-day box office of 20.01 million. The reviews from online film critics are even better, but the film is a bit niche, which prevents the film scheduling rate from continuing to increase.
Let’s take a look at the movie “The Big Break” starring Nicholas Tse and Liu Qingyun, which was released on the 20th. It took 9 days and ended with a box office of 100 million. This is another Hong Kong movie that hit the street. No one cares about it, so I draw it in advance.
Sometimes Lin Nan admires those in the Hong Kong circle, they are so resilient.
I know that the more I make, the more I will lose, but I still make it; because after the film is made, there is still a slim hope of fighting for it, but if I don't make it, Hong Kong movies will soon become a thing of the past and buried in history!
The "Pacific Rim 2" project team of hundreds of people will arrive one after another tomorrow morning. Because there were no acquaintances or friends this time, Liu Yifei was not going to pick up the plane with Lin Nan.
Of course, there is no need for her to show up with him. Because Wang Changtian, Liu Xiaobin and Director Zhang from Xiying followed, this was enough. Well, there are two others.
"You haven't had much of a break from the announcements during this time? You're about to join the group, so stop now."
In the morning, inside the company office. Looking at Reba with exquisite makeup, Lin Nan smiled and joked. Reba is backed by Lin Nan Pictures and does not have much competition pressure. Although Reba is a "hard-working mother", her mental outlook has always been very good. Mainly because of my mentality and mood. After all, there is no pressure.
"Director Lin, I have rejected many announcements. Director Yue personally said hello, saying it was you who said it. But they have all been stopped. I will rest from tomorrow and wait to join the group."
"Okay, come with me to the airport tomorrow morning. The behind-the-scenes team is also here, including the director."
After chatting with Reba in the office for a while, Lin Nan, as the boss, knew: Yue Jun had already communicated with the "Extreme Challenge" side, and Reba would be asked to be a flying guest from time to time, spanning two top Reality show!
"The Tang Dynasty was really ruthless this time, performing a show of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys for all its artists. It was very shocking!"
Reba had just left to find Miss Liu; Yue Jun ran over, laughing and joking as if he was watching the fun.
"Why, has the result of the lawsuit over there come out?"
Lin Nan asked curiously, he was also quite gossipy. After all, this is Tang Ren's second contract termination lawsuit since Lin Gengxin successfully ran away, and it is related to the face of Cai Yinong and Tang Ren.
"Half an hour ago, Tangren took the initiative to disclose the results of the first trial: Jiang Jinfu compensated Tangren 2 million and continued to perform the contract until the year after next.
Although the latter appealed in court, there is little hope of a comeback, or even none at all... He will be hidden by the Tang people until the end of 2018.
According to the current speed of new people emerging in the industry, this artist is doomed. In addition, Jin Chen, who had unilaterally terminated his contract with Tang Ren, will never be let go by Tang Ren.
Unless someone else provides money to protect these two people, they will end up in the same fate. However, I heard that Tang Ren’s liquidated damages seem to be very high? ! hehe……"
"You will gain wisdom after learning a lesson. Lin Gengxin has appeared. Can Cai Yinong not set the liquidated damages at a sky-high price?"
While talking to Yue Jun, Lin Nan also dialed a number on his cell phone. In less than ten seconds, a clear voice sounded in the office: "Brother Lin?"
…
On the morning of the 30th.
Although less than a day had passed, Jiang Jinfu's "tragic end" was already in the past. On the hot search list on Weibo, the only thing that accounts for more than half of the list is the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival movie information!
However, this situation was suddenly broken around 10 o'clock in the morning and fell into pieces.
The entire Internet is overwhelmingly filled with movie news related to words such as "Wu Er Shan", "Feng Shen Trilogy" and "3 Billion". The entire film and television industry and the financial industry have all been tightly grabbed.
"At about nine o'clock in the morning, Changshengshengsheng Pictures and Beijing West Culture held a high-profile media press conference in Beijing to officially announce the project: a large-scale Eastern myth series film special effects masterpiece - "Fengshen"!"
"It is reported that the "Fengshen" series is written and directed by director Wu Ershan himself. The series is divided into three parts and will be shot in one go. The budget investment totals 3 billion yuan. It is a domestically produced film. The best of movies!”
"Song Ge, chairman of Beijing West Culture, publicly stated in front of many media reporters: The "Fengshen" trilogy will recruit tens of thousands of amateur actors from around the world early next year to form a "Fengshen" training camp.
Director Wu Ershan plans to spend one year, participating in the entire training camp and following up, screening, training, guidance... and finally, among a group of amateur actors, he has completed the casting of the young protagonists of the "Fengshen" trilogy! "
……
When the "Fengshen Trilogy" was spreading all over the Internet and being watched and hotly discussed by the entire film and television industry, Lin Nan was already waiting outside the Capital Airport. Today's sun is warm and the weather is very good.
In addition to a group of staff, there are Wang Changtian, Liu Xiaobin, Director Zhang, Jing Tian and Reba.
Many paparazzi around were confused. I didn't hear about any "big battle" today? Why did these big guys come to the airport?
"Director Lin, what are you doing today?" A reporter who was stopped by bodyguards in the distance asked loudly. Lin Nan glanced at the voice, and it was an acquaintance he owed a debt to!
"Didn't you see the two beauties standing next to me?" Lin Nan laughed and scolded unhappily. Where is the sense of smell as a paparazzi?
Sure enough, a group of entertainment reporters instantly locked on Jing Tian and Reba, who were smiling like flowers.
"Pacific Rim 2?"
"Will the Pacific Rim 2 project team arrive today?"
"Tiantian, Pacific Rim 2 is about to start filming?"
"Reba, are you going to join the crew?"
...
Instantly, all the entertainment reporters and paparazzi became excited. Although they did not go to the press conference of Jingxi Culture and Changtiansheng Film, they were lucky to have hit a big fish!
"What does Director Lin think of the "Fengshen" series over there?" Director Zhang of Xiying asked Lin Nan in a low voice.
Jingtian was standing on the left side of Lin Nan. She was shocked when she saw the news just now.
The average cost of a movie is 1 billion yuan. Even in Hollywood, this is undoubtedly an A-level production. At this moment, she looked at Lin Nan, very curious about what Lin Nan would say.
"Tell me quickly before the plane arrives."
Liu Xiaobin also urged, full of interest. Of course, Wang Changtian is an old fox, and naturally he will not touch such projects. He just wants to watch the fun.
"What do I think? Anyway, I will definitely not make a Chinese mythology film with a cost of 1 billion. The main market of "Fengshen" will only be domestic, but can the domestic film market support a film of this scale of investment?
To put it bluntly, I am not optimistic about Ning Ying's "Asura" with a cost of 750 million, let alone "Fengshen" with a cost of 1 billion. Is it so easy to open up the overseas market? Earn foreign box office in a dream? Or is it that the producer also knows it, but still weaves dreams for others? "
Lin Nan smiled with a hint of meaning in his words, and Wang Changtian, Liu Xiaobin and Director Zhang must have understood; the three of them smacked their lips, with complicated expressions. Jing Tian and Reba were a little confused, and they only knew that Lin Nan was not optimistic about the "Fengshen" project.
