Chapter 1096: The Premiere Was Overshadowed; the Project Was Publicly Launched and Casting Began

Chapter 1096: The premiere was robbed of the limelight; the project was announced and casting began...

Since early in the morning, the premiere of "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" can be said to be the top event in the entire film and television entertainment industry today.

The participation of many media was equally impressive, so much so that the front pages of major portal websites and the hot search lists on Weibo were filled with information related to the film and the premiere.

"At nine o'clock in the morning, the 20th anniversary of Fung's comedy and the world premiere of the movie "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" were held grandly in Beijing."

"Feng Xiaogang, a leading figure in the domestic directing industry, stepped onto the red carpet with gold medal screenwriter Liu Zhenyun, Fan Bingbing, Guo Tao, Dapeng, Zhang Jiayi and other creatives; many big names in the industry came to support the show."

"The premiere was unique. Guo Degang and more than a dozen guests performed in a performance show, reviewing the classic comedy works of director Feng Xiaogang in the past two decades;

On the occasion of the film's premiere, everyone hereby pays tribute to the 20th anniversary of Feng's comedy films... We look forward to the box office of Feng's new film reaching over 3 billion. "

""I'm Not Pan Jinlian" deeply moved the audience of more than 2,500 people with its ground-breaking square footage, down-to-earth character portrayal, and the third kind of humor with a hint of laughter;

All the guests agreed: Feng's comedy storm will sweep the country on November 18, and the movie will be a big hit at the box office! "

It was early 11 o'clock, at the banquet after the premiere.

Zhang Ziyi was holding red wine and chatting and laughing with Wang Zhonglei. Although she was unwilling to meet Fan Bingbing, a double-A movie queen, she still came to this occasion and had to come.

Because she lacks resources, Huayi is still a resource holder in the industry, including the Lunar New Year movie "The Death of Romance" in which she starred, which is also a project of the latter.

"I heard that you are currently working on a Hollywood science fiction blockbuster. How is it going?"

Wang Zhonglei's question directly stunned Zhang Ziyi. She was a little embarrassed to say it, so she could only smile awkwardly and said perfunctorily: "We are still in contact, it should be soon."

Seeing that the latter's reaction was a bit strange, Wang Zhonglei, who had only heard some rumors, stopped asking what movie it was.

At this time, Zhang Ziyi's feelings of frustration, unwillingness, and loneliness had all emerged, and they were so intense that they could not be increased.

She was indeed exposed to Hollywood movies, but the role she was exposed to was only a supporting actress, not even the second female lead; but even so, Hollywood still had to consider it.

Compared with the time in "Memoirs of a Geisha", this huge gap in celebrity status was really hard for her to accept and she felt miserable, but it was reality... and she had nothing to do!

Just when Zhang Ziyi was about to change the topic with Wang Zhonglei, the noise at the banquet seemed to have more than doubled suddenly, and there seemed to be something wrong with the content of the discussion?

The two people's attention was immediately attracted by the changes on the field.

I saw Wang Zhongjun forced a smile on his face, but there was a look of indifference between his brows, Feng Xiaogang looked very angry, and so did the others.

On the contrary, Fan Bingbing and other actors had a hint of excitement on their faces, and their eyes were shining?

"Mr. Wang, they all seem to be talking about Director Lin Nan?" Zhang Ziyi said suspiciously.

Wang Zhonglei did not respond, but walked straight towards Wang Zhongjun and others, and Zhang Ziyi followed.

"What's going on? Why are you all talking about Lin Nan all of a sudden?"

"Aren't they just talking about Lin Nan? Just now, two blockbuster projects were announced over there, both directed by Lin Nan, and both will be auditioned and cast within a week. The lineup is even more impressive!"

Wang Zhongjun scolded with a cold snort. A movie project announcement over there not only took away the souls of all the industry insiders and actors at the premiere of their own movie;

On the Internet, all the headlines and hot searches related to "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" were suppressed by those two movies in a matter of seconds. They stepped on them until they were invisible!

"In less than a morning, the excitement of the premiere of "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" is already over!" Feng Xiaogang gritted his teeth, as if every word was Lin Nan's blood and flesh.

Wang Zhonglei said nothing, looking up his phone in shock and indifference; while Zhang Ziyi turned around in a low-key manner and walked away silently, with the same sparkle in his eyes.

"At half past ten this morning, Lin Nan Pictures released a notice of movie project approval, casting, and audition announcements, a total of two movies:

First, the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is a large-scale real-life medical theme, adapted from the "Lu Yong Incident";

The script of the movie was reviewed this morning and the filming permit was approved. It is planned to officially start filming in March next year.

The film is produced by: Lin Nan Pictures, Han Jia Nu Studio, Shanghai Film, Xiying Film, Hai Zheng, Golden Shield; Director: Lin Nan; Producers: Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun; Screenwriter/Assistant Director: Han Jia Nu.

Secondly, the movie "The Wandering Earth" is a large-scale disaster, science fiction, and adventure movie, adapted from the novel of the same name, and a series plan has been confirmed;

The script of the film has been submitted for review this morning, and it is planned to start shooting at a later date after the filming of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is completed.

The film producers are: Lin Nan Pictures, Hongxingwu Pictures, Aerospace Science and Technology Group, Xiying Film, Shanghai Film, Enlight, and Wanda. Director: Lin Nan; Producer: Liu Yifei.

Since the announcement, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "The Wandering Earth" have immediately opened casting calls to the film and television industry and are accepting audition resumes;

Two movies are available for audition roles and corresponding requirements. Please see the attachment for details. In addition, auditions for the two films will begin at the same time on the 22nd of this month..."

The news of the film and entertainment section of the entire network was indeed "covered by Lin Nan Pictures"!

Any other movie information, including "I Am Not Madame Bovary", was stepped on and left without a trace. The Internet was even more lively, with constant booing, joking, and heated discussions...

"After 10 years since "The Martian" in 2006, Director Lin Nan finally remembered his hardcore science fiction movie!"

"It's been 10 years, and I thought someone else would take over the banner of domestic large-scale science fiction movies. I didn't expect that in the end, Director Lin would take the banner again. It's really sad."

"Two movies were approved at the same time, and they were auditioned at the same time. This seems to be the first time Director Lin has done this?! And they are all blockbusters. Will he not be lazy or rest next year?"

"I can only say that Director Lin is really brave. He dared to shoot the "Lu Yong incident"? How did it pass the review? What is this? "

"The person above, I advise you to take another look at the production team of "Dying to Survive". See it clearly before you speak, don't embarrass yourself."

"Are the actors in the film and television industry going crazy? Director Lin's two movies, even a fool knows that they are top resources and super big cakes!"

"Speaking of Huayi's "I Am Not Madame Bovary", it's really miserable! Today is supposed to be the premiere, but now there is no news at all, it disappeared without a trace, haha..."

...

Lin Nan is very sure and certain that Feng Xiaogang and Huayi must be scolding him now; but he is not angry at all, after all, he stole the limelight of the premiere today.

But the day after tomorrow will be more than that, that will be really fatal, because Wanda is waiting for Huayi and Feng Xiaogang.

And the result of "I Am Not Madame Bovary" is already doomed, it must be miserable, miserable!

Liu Yifei sat cross-legged on the sofa, puffing her cheeks and staring at her mobile phone in front of her. Her eyes rolled around, and her face was filled with an innocent expression that she had long been accustomed to.

"Two movies were announced at the same time, and the reaction in the circle was indeed stronger than before. I want to see when it will stop. Hmm? Isn't Zhang Ziyi attending the premiere? She still has time to call?"

"Isn't it quiet now? You are so boring that people have nothing to say, silly and cute." Lin Nan stretched out his hand and turned on the airplane mode directly, then smiled and tapped Liu Yifei's forehead.

"The company should be busy now, and a large number of audition resumes are pouring in." Lin Nan curled his lips. In a week, he will completely turn into a cow and horse, all work!

"Ha! You said no one dared to bother you, look, Brother Xun called you?" Liu Yifei seemed to have discovered a new world, pointing at Lin Nan's phone and laughing at him.

Well, I was slapped in the face. Lin Nan answered the call speechlessly, turned on the hands-free mode, and joked directly: "Who is that? Oh, by the way, Ulanara Ruyi, what's the matter with you?"

"Hehe, haha... what's Ulanara..." Liu Yifei laughed and fell beside Lin Nan, leaning on him.

"What are you laughing at? If you laugh again, I will give you three feet of white silk and let you go back to the furnace for retraining!" "Hey, how can you talk like that? If you talk like that, you can hang up the phone." Liu Yifei immediately laughed and retorted.

"Okay, okay, you are the one who wears a phoenix crown and a bridal robe for your wedding, I can't afford to offend you, okay." Zhou Xun's voice of begging for mercy came from the phone.

"So what? What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Lin Nan urged knowingly, and made a funny expression to Liu Yifei.

"Pretend, Director Lin, keep pretending!"

"You've been filming the Queen's role for nearly four months. This tone is really into the role."

After Lin Nan finished teasing, without waiting for Zhou Xun's reaction, he continued to add: "I can't give you a clear answer. You can only audition yourself when the time comes.

But I can tell you that I hosted the audition for "The Wandering Earth", and Han Jianu auditioned for "Dying to Survive", with Director Han assisting. If I have time, I will go to watch it."

"And I will be there too." Liu Yifei interrupted at the right time, and the meaning was very clear: Brother Xun, you'd better not offend me!

"Oh, this time is really different. But I'm getting more and more interested, especially for this "Dying to Survive". You know, I'm good at this kind of acting theme."

Zhou Xun is really not modest, and he swore as soon as he opened his mouth.

Lin Nan didn't say anything to encourage or discourage, because everyone was treated equally this time. After all, the initiative of "Dying to Survive" was in the hands of Han Jianu!

…

The premiere of I Am Not Madame Bovary ended hastily on the 15th, as if it had never been held, and its popularity completely disappeared.

On the 16th, the entire film and television industry's attention and discussion about the two films of Lin Nan Pictures once again rose a lot, and all the actors in the industry were eager to try.

On the morning of the 17th, Madame Bovary was ready to be released in theaters across the country, just waiting for the early morning of more than ten hours later.

Wanda Cinema.

"Go in."

"Mr. Liu, the group has approved it." The secretary couldn't wait to tell Liu Xiaobin the result while pushing open the office door.

"How much has the screening rate been cut?" Liu Xiaobin asked, looking up.

He had adopted Wang Changtian's suggestion before, and on the basis of the original screening rate plan, he re-proposed it to the big boss, with three reduction plans to choose from.

"The first day's screening rate tomorrow has been cut by 5.9%, and it will be reduced day by day. In addition, the arrangement of the screening time completely agrees with our opinions."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaobin couldn't help laughing, and his mouth couldn't be suppressed, "Okay, you immediately notify all the cinemas and theaters to follow the new film scheduling plan."

"Okay, Mr. Liu."

When the secretary turned around and left again, Liu Xiaobin also picked up the landline on the table. It is necessary to give a heads-up to the public relations department in advance, so as to prevent Huayi from barking wildly.

Linnan Pictures.

Sitting in the office, listening to Yue Jun's nagging, Director Lin felt a headache. This time, two super-large pies were released, and the agency companies and actors and artists in the circle were as fierce as wolves and tigers.

"Director Lin, we received so many audition resumes this time; and many actors are auditioning for multiple roles in both "Dying to Survive" and "The Wandering Earth". It's hard to arrange the auditions these days."

"Take your time, there's no rush. The audition and casting process is very long. The earliest "Dying to Survive" will not start until March next year.

You must ask the external relations department to communicate all the shooting locations and ask the logistics department to make full preparations. I don't want to waste time because of other trivial matters after the start of filming. Next year will be very busy."

"Yes, I got it."

Yue Jun nodded and then said Another thing, "Director Lin, are you sure that you don't need to audition for that role, but directly invite Wu Mengda? His health doesn't seem to be very good?"

Lin Nan was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Well, sure, invite him.

The number of actors and old faces in Hong Kong Island will be decreasing. After the negotiation, let him take good care of himself. After all, it will take at least half a year before "The Wandering Earth" officially starts.

In addition, I remember that when I was filming "The Martian" 10 years ago, the media there made up a lot of weird things about me, saying that I was against Hong Kong Island actors! Haha."

Yue Jun smiled and shook his head when he heard this. But when it comes to inviting Wu Mengda, he is not worried that the latter will refuse to take this role; Wu Mengda will definitely accept it, because he has a big family to support!

"Okay, I'll ask someone to talk to her. What about the role of Han Duoduo?

There are only a handful of actresses aged 15 to 18 who have submitted their resumes for this role, and only a few of them can be named. But Zhang Zaifeng has played in our "Detective Chinatown"..."

Lin Nan closed her eyes, which was really annoying, "Let's talk about it during the audition."

Seeing that Lin Nan was not in the mood to think about it, Yue Jun didn't say anything more.

At the same time, Qingdao, Oriental Movie Metropolis.

There was no scene for Jing Tian today, so she just watched from the side. The assistant's reminder also pulled her attention back from the filming in the distance.

She turned her head and saw Lu Zheng at the entrance of the studio, and immediately walked over quickly.

"Uncle Lu, why did you come here suddenly?"

Lu Zheng did not answer immediately, but smiled and sighed, "You really don't care about what's happening outside the window? Director Lin has launched two film projects, did you know that?"

Jing Tian was stunned for a moment, and nodded slowly: "Yes, I know."

"You have no chance in "Dying to Survive", your ability is not enough, and there should be conflicts in the shooting schedule.

How about trying that science fiction movie? Like "Pacific Rim", it is also a series. Besides, didn't you also have you in "The Martian" at the beginning?"

"But, there is no suitable one, right?" Jing Tian's words directly exposed the fact that she had paid attention to the casting.

"Can you go and ask, after all, it is a series. And Director Lin often reserves some roles and invites auditions. Maybe there is a chance, is there a role?"
