Chapter 212 Two Press Conferences

Lin Nan began to go in and out of Beijing Film Academy to do post-editing of "Hunting".

Many teachers from the academy, out of curiosity, came to take a look from time to time.

Among all the graduates of the directing department, Lin Nan's work is undoubtedly the most popular.

Outside, although "Ip Man" has only been released for a few days, the reputation and box office are really good.

Yang Shoucheng had previously thought about promoting some kind of patriotism.

Lin Nan suggested that he lower his posture and just say it is a popcorn-style kung fu movie.

The audience of commercial films does not need you to instill ideas in them, they have their own ability to distinguish.

Don't be like the experts and beasts, always teaching others how to do this and that.

...

The entertainment industry is realistic.

Zhen Zidan came to thank Lin Nan specifically.

He can already clearly feel what benefits this movie has brought him.

The quotes for commercial performances and endorsements are constantly rising.

The agent team even told him that this movie is very likely to help him get promoted to the first line.

And Ying Huang revealed a long time ago that "Ip Man" can be made into a series.

So the most urgent thing is to build a good relationship with Lin Nan.

Being promoted to the first line does not mean that you will always be in the first line.

And even first-line actors and stars have different status.

"Ip Man" appeared in Beijing Film Academy, but it attracted a lot of attention.

Lin Nan felt that he must have made a lot of drafts before he came.

Zhen Zidan's face was full of smiles, thanking Lin Nan for giving him the opportunity to play "Ip Man".

But this is obviously the role decided by Ying Huang.

"Director Lin, if there are other movies later, just tell me, I will be there at your call..."

Although it was not said explicitly, Lin Nan could hear it. Isn't this about the sequel to "Ip Man"?

"Well, it depends on fate."

Lin Nan perfunctorily said.

Zhen Zidan bypassed Ying Huang and came directly to him. This behavior seemed very smart, but it was actually a bit stupid. What did Yang Shoucheng think?

After everyone left, Lin Nan continued to edit "Hunting".

——

China Film announced the most important film project for next year.

That is, the tribute film, "The Founding of a Republic".

"This film will be directed by Chairman Han Sanping himself. It has been in preparation for a long time and involves nearly 200 celebrity roles."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that "The Founding of a Republic" has an extraordinary and special significance.

Zero pay!

I don't know who started it, but all the actors and stars spontaneously expressed this wish and are just waiting for the casting notice from China Film.

Lin Nan received a call from Han Sanping in the editing room.

"I originally wanted to ask you to direct a few short clips, but finally gave up.

Zhang Yi from your company can join in and play a role."

Lin Nan also asked why he "forgot"?

The answer made him feel a little funny. Some old people said that he was too young and couldn't handle such a scene...

"Old people?"

Lin Nan knew without thinking that it was those people from the association and the film festival. They were really old antiques.

Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Chen Kexin and others have accepted the invitation and will join the director team led by Han Sanping.

Originally, Zhang Yimou was also invited.

As a result, Zhang Weiping rejected the offer without even discussing it with the former.

Lin Nan estimated that Zhang Weiping most likely rejected it outright because of the zero pay.

Among the producers in the industry, no one is more stingy and more money-hungry than him.

"If You Are the One" may have felt the pressure from "Red Cliff" later, and actually held its premiere several days in advance.

Lin Nan and "The Martian" are inevitable topics.

"This time I return to the Lunar New Year period, and it is still comedy that I am good at.

In terms of box office, I dare not say that I will surpass Lin's "The Martian", but I am sure to follow closely behind."

Feng Xiaogang's solemn speech was quickly reported, and the publicity effect was greatly improved.

…………

"What does he want to do?"

Yang Shoucheng asked with a frosty face.

"Ip Man" has become completely popular. The plot is not dragged out, the fighting is clean and neat, and it has both national justice and family and country feelings.

These are spontaneous comments from netizens online.

Yang Shoucheng was very glad that he listened to Lin Nan and didn't take the initiative to say these things during the promotion.

Now it seems that the effect is better.

But Zhen Zidan's behavior of going to Lin Nan made him very angry. There was a feeling of being betrayed.

"The people in his team only said that they went to thank him..."

"Thanks? Why didn't I see him thank me?

Knock them on the door and let them know that some things can't break the rules."

Yang Shoucheng ordered.

Huo Wenxi nodded and remembered something.

"Director Jiang Wen said that the script needs to be polished for a while, and this time he wants to use big-name stars."

"Does it mean that the cost will be very high?"

Yang Shoucheng asked, thought about it, "Go tell him that it can be within 150 million.

No higher, unless he can help me earn 380 million."

Huo Wenxi smiled when he heard this.

Thinking to himself, Director Yang is still thinking about "The Martian". But the profit of that movie is really scary.

...

Berlin Film Festival announced the first batch of shortlisted main competition units.

"Mei Lanfang" was ranked first.

The eyes of the circle were instantly focused on Chen Kaige.

Thinking about his interview some time ago, it seems that the Golden Bear Award is indeed just around the corner.

"What do you think of my performance as Meng Xiaodong?"

Liu Yifei popped Lin Nan's head and asked him to answer the question head-on.

"Probably, it's okay..."

Lin Nan tried to act as sincerely as possible.

"you are lying."

"Can you see this?"

"You really lied to me." Liu Yifei glared at Lin Nan, and she lied.

Lin Nan was speechless. Do all women have this kind of talent?

"How many awards did Zhang Ziyi win? She has been training for half a year to play Meng Xiaodong."

"I can do it too." Liu Yifei said without hesitation.

"Just practice for a few more years, and I will prepare a literary or drama film for you."

Lin Nan made a bold promise.

"Really?" the girl asked excitedly.

"Yeah, really."

"Muma, this is your reward."

"Haha, why not dance?"

"What dance?" Liu Yifei was a little confused.

"Let's play "Tianzhu Girl"!"

"Ah? I learned that when I was young..."

——

"If You Are the One" was released with much anticipation.

On the first day, it grabbed 15 million box office from the popular "Ip Man" and Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang".

And the daily box office is still rising.

Twenty million on the second day, twenty-five million on the third day, twenty-two million on the fourth day...

During the four-day opening weekend, the box office exceeded 80 million.

It seems that the film and television industry has seen again the scenes of Feng's comedies sweeping through the Lunar New Year festivals in those years.

At the same time, "Mei Lanfang" was completely released and became the highest-grossing domestic literary film with 114 million.

The box office growth of "Ip Man" has been almost cut in half, and it is struggling to reach 100 million box office, just a little bit away.

"The box office of "If You Are the One" is expected to exceed that of "Red Cliff".

""Mars" still maintains first-day records and first-weekend records..."

Lin Nan saw the reviews of "If You Are the One".

When it comes to inserting advertisements, it has to be Feng Xiaogang.

Netizens summed it up well: Advertisement + Crosstalk + Sketch = "If You Are the One".

Not to mention, many people in the industry agree with this view online.

Feng Xiaogang has indeed captured the audience's psychology and knows what they want to see.

The editing of "Hunting" is progressing very quickly. Lin Nan felt that it would be no problem to finish the post-production process within half a month.

"Tiantian?"

Outside the editing room, Lin Nan saw Jing Tian.

"Brother Lin."

The girl came over with a smile on her face.

"The acting department has exams today, so I stopped by to see Brother Lin."

"come in."

Lin Nan thought about the door of the editing room and finally left it open. This was better.

"The Legend of Sun Tzu" will hold a launch press conference at the end of the month, and Jing Tian is here to invite Lin Nan.

Lu Zheng had all invited her to the previous starring roles in "The Martian", but Lin Nan was the only one who wanted to say it herself.

"They all agreed?"

"Well, Brother Xiao Ming said they would all come." Jing Tian quickly replied.

Lin Nan nodded.

Thinking about it, Lu Zheng is also a star-studded boss, and Huang Xiaoming and the others will definitely give him face.

A film and television company that can invest tens of millions to make TV series, isn't this just a matter of connections?

Lin Nan has a headache. There is also "Sword and Sword III" waiting for him to set a time over there.

"Okay, I'll be there then. How was your exam today?"

Hearing Lin Nan's affirmative reply, Jing Tian smiled and nodded.

"I did okay on the exam, and the teachers gave me a top grade."

Lin Nan didn't ask in detail. If he could give Jing Tian an honor, the test should not be about performance.

After chatting for a while, Lin Nan began to continue working.

The girl hesitated for a while, but finally said: "Brother Lin, I'll leave first. Goodbye."

"Um."

Jingtian looked back three times at a time, walked out, and gently closed the door.

After a long time, Lin Nan looked back and sighed.

He took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

Cai Yinong is in a meeting, and has just chosen Liu Shishi as the actress that the company will focus on in the future.

The phone vibrated suddenly, and he was about to turn it off subconsciously, but after glancing at the caller ID, Cai Yinong made a wait gesture and walked out of the conference room with his phone.

"Director Lin, has the time been set?"

"Yes, Mr. Cai. You can schedule the final press conference for the 25th. I'm free that day."

"Ok, no problem."

After Lin Nan finished talking about the business, he hung up.

Cai Yinong stepped on high heels and returned to the office.

"The final press conference of "Sword and Sword III" is scheduled for the 25th. Remember not to attend events for Hu Ge and Shi Shi during those two days.

In addition, you can announce this matter to the outside world. All media, artists and industry insiders who should be invited should be sent invitation letters.

Director Lin Nan will also be there. "

Everyone present cheered up instantly. They had been waiting for this for a while, and now it was finally decided.

They can't guarantee that the popularity of "Sword and Sword III" will definitely catch up with "Sword and Sword I", but the former will definitely be a hit.

…………

In less than half an hour, Yang Mi, Tang Yan and others received the news.

"Director Lin will come too?!"

During this period, Yang Mi has been thinking about the last phone call.

Although Hu Ge said that Lin Nan no longer cared, she felt that she still had to take advantage of this final press conference to have a good relationship with Lin Nan, even if it was for the sake of her future career...
