Chapter 287 Everyone Is Staring at the Character
The domestic film and television industry has basically determined that Lin Nan and others are here to discuss cooperation.
The group of people did not stay in Hollywood for long, and boarded the flight back to China the next day after finishing their business.
"Director Lin, when "The Thief" is released in September, there will be no problem with the film schedule. I can guarantee this..."
Ye Ning talked a lot on the plane and was obviously very excited.
This is the first time Wanda Pictures has participated in a co-production since its establishment, which is of great significance.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Ye."
Lin Nan was not polite. Wanda Cinema Chain is now one of the largest cinema chain companies in the country. In a year or two, the word "one" will be removed.
Moreover, the number of their 3D theaters and IMAX 3D giant screens is now the largest in the country!
…
Liu Yifei had nothing to do today, so she came to pick up Lin Nan.
From a distance, I saw a group of people being stopped by the media just after leaving the airport.
Liu Yifei had no choice but to sit in the car and wait silently.
"Director Lin, is this flight to Hollywood about a new movie?"
"China Film and Wanda went together, are they both investors?"
"Mr. Ye..."
…
A large number of reporters bombarded me with a series of questions.
Lin Nan moved the people from China Film Group to the front.
"I can tell you that it is indeed about the movie. We will announce it to the public in two days."
…
Being blocked at the airport exit really had a bad impact. A group of people managed to get rid of the media siege.
Lin Nan walked quickly towards a red Ferrari, opened the door and quickly got into the passenger seat.
People from China Film and Wanda Group also came to pick me up at the airport.
"I'll go, whose car did Director Lin get into?"
"It must be Liu Yifei, right? I was careless and didn't notice her!"
…
He was wearing a black T-shirt on his upper body, outlined by a safety belt, and loose jeans and sneakers on his lower body.
Wearing big sunglasses and long hair shawl, Liu Yifei looks particularly youthful and wanton.
"I've been waiting outside for an hour and a half. By the way, are the talks settled?"
Liu Yifei looked at the road ahead and asked softly.
"Well, it's already been negotiated. It's just that this time it's a co-production, so you should know how troublesome it is."
Liu Yifei nodded.
"The King of Kung Fu" was a co-production at that time, shot domestically and abroad, which was troublesome.
By the time the two people returned to the villa successfully, word had spread in the circle.
"China Film Group admitted that this trip to Hollywood was for film cooperation."
"Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, and Wanda Pictures have confirmed their cooperation in new movies..."
"The specific circumstances are unknown."
…
Companies such as Yinghuang and Guangguang, which had been unable to contact Lin Nan before, called him all at once.
"It's a co-production..."
Hearing the words "co-production film", a group of people will become self-aware.
Ying Huang is located on Hong Kong Island, so it will definitely not be his turn;
The Rays can’t provide any resources, so how can they compete?
Han Sanping's efficiency is really high.
I applied for the co-production project the next day, and there was no hiding it.
"The co-production film "Pacific Rim" has been submitted for registration. This is a science fiction blockbuster with an investment amount of up to 160 million US dollars!"
"Producers include: China Film, Lin Nan Pictures, Wanda Pictures, Warner Bros. and Lionsgate."
The official website of China Film Group took the lead in making the announcement, followed closely by Lin Nan Pictures and Wanda Pictures.
Lin Nan didn't even know what to say about Han Sanping. When encountering such a project, he was always in a state of turmoil, unlike someone of his age.
When the news came out, the domestic film and television industry was instantly shocked.
Lin Nan had no intention of paying attention to the excitement outside. He was looking at the box office data at the moment.
The box office of "Xiu Chun Dao" has reached 140 million and continues to grow.
After earning 600 million, the daily box office of "Earthquake" has dropped to 4 million, but it seems that some units are still invoicing.
Look at Jing Tian's "My Beautiful Boss" again. After the box office reached 45 million, the daily box office dropped to less than 1 million...
"Let Guo Fan go back to the company." Lin Nan said to the assistant.
"Okay, Director Lin."
…
The outside world is really noisy.
The last co-production that caused a sensation in China was Hua Yi's "Kung Fu King".
Regardless of its reputation, Li Bingbing and Liu Yifei have successfully entered Hollywood's horizons.
The investment in that movie was more than 70 million US dollars, and the one announced today is 160 million US dollars!
It’s exactly the same as that year’s “Inception”!
There are no fools in this circle.
As we all know, the requirement for a co-production is that Chinese actors must participate and play the main roles.
"Jiajia, go and ask Director Yue."
When Yang Mi heard the news on the set, she immediately found Zeng Jia and urged her.
"But, but... forget it, I'll go ask."
In Zeng Jia's eyes, even if there was a female role in such a big production, Liu Yifei would be the first to choose it.
What's more, the drama "Gong Lock Heart Jade" is still two or three months away from completion...
Not only the actresses are thoughtful, but so are the actors.
…
Lin Nan flipped through the text messages on his phone. These people were really nice. It was embarrassing to call them, but it was embarrassing to send text messages.
The cast of "The Big Heist".
"Old Lei, don't think about the things that are available and not available, and focus on filming our "The Robbery"."
Ning Hao patted Lei Jiayin on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Director Ning, can you please stop calling me Lao Lei? I'm not old."
"You're still being mean. Ask them, you're 6 years younger than me, but don't you look at most two years older? Haha..."
As soon as these words came out, they instantly caused laughter from the people around them.
"I'm kidding you, but your looks also have an advantage." Ning Hao added.
When Lei Jiayin heard this, he immediately asked, "Director Ning, what advantage?"
Ning Hao looked at Lei Jiayin carefully.
"You look old now, but in five or ten years, you should still look like this, with little change, and you'll look younger than your peers.
By then, your acting skills will have been honed, and you can easily beat them..."
The more Lei Jiayin listened, the brighter his eyes became.
"Director Ning, you, you didn't fool me, did you?"
"Am I fooling you out of boredom? Believe in my eyesight, it's definitely true. Act with your heart, and you'll be more popular as time goes by..."
"Yeah, I believe you..."
…………
Many netizens went to Liu Yifei's Weibo to ask about Pacific Rim.
"Xixi, did you see the script from Director Lin?"
"Are there any female roles? Will you play them?"
"Can you recommend my idol to Director Lin? She's..."
……
I don't know if she was just kidding, but Miss Liu really left a message.
"I've read the script, but I won't be in it." The picture was a chubby pure white kitten.
A Weibo post gave hope to the actresses in the circle.
On the one hand, they were jealous that Liu Yifei could see the script of such a big production in advance. If she wanted to act, she would definitely be selected;
On the other hand, they were also happy that Liu Yifei would not be in it, which left everyone with a chance.
"That Yang Mi should still be in the TV crew, right?"
"That new guy seems to be still in school!"
"Lin Nan Pictures has few people, there's a chance!"
...
The funding allocation ratio for "Pacific Rim" was also announced.
The Chinese side accounted for 55%.
Lin Nan Pictures accounted for 25% of the share, followed by China Film with 20%, and Wanda at least 10%!
"Brother, do you want to ask him? China Film and Wanda should not be able to transfer."
Wang Zhonglei asked.
This kind of project is very good for the company's stock price, and the lock-up period is about to expire.
"Believe it or not, let's not talk about whether he will resell it to us. Even if he is willing, it will be a premium.
Just like "Journey to the Center of the Earth"..."
"Then do you still need to communicate with him?"
Wang Zhongjun hesitated, but nodded, "Well, let's go ask, I'll leave it to you."
…………
Guo Fan has been staying in school recently, just like Lin Nan at the beginning, he was pulled to be a soldier and give a speech to the freshmen!
"Director Lin, why are you calling me back so urgently? What's the matter?"
Lin Nan looked up at Guo Fan, who was really confused.
"You don't know about the co-production?"
"I know, but what does it have to do with me? Can I be asked to direct a $160 million movie?"
Lin Nan couldn't help laughing, "You really dare to think!"
"It's definitely not such a fantasy.
I plan to let you join the crew and follow the Warner filming team. They are very strong in science fiction films, "Batman", "Inception"...
How much you can learn depends on yourself."
At this point, Guo Fan didn't understand what it meant, it was a good thing!
...
More than half an hour later, Guo Fan left the company with a smile on his face.
"How is the filming of Zhang Yi's drama going?"
"It can be finished this month."
Yue Jun replied, he vaguely guessed what Lin Nan meant.
"Don't assign him any work after the filming is finished. Let him join the Pacific Rim crew."
Yue Jun smacked his lips and laughed, "How could he have signed a 'sale contract'?"
"By the way, Director Lin. Zeng Jia has also asked me about the role.
Yi Fei said on Weibo that she would not act in this movie. Many people have asked about it now.
Li Bingbing, Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, and many actresses, their agents have contacted me..."
Lin Nan nodded. Although it was not announced what actors were needed, everyone was not stupid and guessed that it was likely that both male and female actors were needed.
"How long will her play take?"
"It's hard to say. I estimate it will take at least two months..."
If it's this time, it's really hard to say. The efficiency of those big Hollywood studios is very high!
"Is it too late in time?"
"I don't know now, wait for the news from Warner. Then, it depends on her luck."
After Lin Nan finished speaking, he thought of China Film and Wanda, they probably don't have actors...
…………
"Pacific Rim" has completely attracted the attention of the film industry.
In everyone's eyes, Lin Nan's ship has finally started to carry people out to sea, and it's a big project right from the start.
Liu Yifei is a bit busy.
Many people came to ask her about the role of "Pacific Rim", she doesn't care about it!
But she still happily replied to every message, anyway, she was in a good mood!
