Chapter 548 If There Had Been No Overlapping Dramas
The official website of the Film Bureau has announced the latest film filing information.
The script adapted from the novel "Lu Fan Yan Shi" submitted by Zhang Yimou Studio has been approved.
However, the name of the film filed is not "Lu Fan Yan Shi", but "Return".
Zhang Zhao of LeTV said that the name of the film "Return" also has another meaning, that is, Zhang Yimou is "returning".
The movements of the big directors in the circle always attract the attention of the media.
Chen Kaige is still looking for big names from Hong Kong and Taiwan for "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain".
Feng Xiaogang, who is preparing for the Spring Festival Gala, shouted the slogan of not "hymns" in this gala, which sounds quite reasonable!
"Is it so naked?"
Lin Nan exclaimed, he was shocked by Huayi's operation.
The Wang brothers made full use of Feng Xiaogang's advantage as the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala.
They used the "selection of people" and "selection of programs" of the Spring Festival Gala as bargaining chips, and made "favors" and "transactions" with the film and television industry and the entertainment industry.
You know, the Spring Festival Gala is the top publicity platform, and there is no shortage of stars and artists who want to become famous overnight and go further in the industry.
Now, Feng Xiaogang is the chief director, and Huayi indirectly owns this channel.
Wang Zhonglei is very direct and has hinted to the circle:
"'Excellent artists' and 'newcomers with potential' have the opportunity to show their talents to the national audience on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Welcome colleagues or artists in the industry to recommend or recommend themselves to Director Feng Xiaogang..."
So during this period, the film and television and entertainment companies in the circle can almost trample on the threshold of Huayi, and many big names with younger generations are also like this, all for filling people.
Because everyone knows that Huayi will definitely give priority to its own artists.
As for how much room for operation can be left to the outside world, it is hard to say, but it will definitely not be much.
After all, it is the Spring Festival Gala, and it cannot be too blatant. The competition for opportunities and quotas will definitely be fierce!
Lin Nan Pictures has also received the word from Huayi, and if you want, you can arrange it.
To be honest, after being shocked, Lin Nan actually thought about whether to push Reba and Zhao Liying over.
But the next moment, he gave up the idea.
There is no free lunch in the world. What seems to be free is actually the most expensive, especially in the entertainment industry.
Maybe Wang Zhonglei is eager for Lin Nan to ask for it. As long as he asks, it will be successful.
But favors have to be repaid after all, and it is not easy to repay.
"Reply to Huayi that our company has no plans to let actors go to the Spring Festival Gala."
Lin Nan made a decision and told his assistant.
"Okay, Director Lin."
…………
Huang Xiaoming suddenly became the object of ridicule on the Internet, and many people in the circle were comforting and encouraging him.
Because the two movies he starred in were all forced to be taken off the screen.
After "Mad 2" was withdrawn with a box office of 1.12 million, only two days later, "A Romantic Affair" was also abandoned by the theaters.
After 6 days of release, the total box office was 10.22 million, and the daily box office dropped below 50,000, which was completely cold.
However, almost no one scolded Huang Xiaoming, and Yang Ying was only criticized for her rubbish acting skills.
The person who was scolded the most was Gao Qunshu, who had publicly criticized Guo Jingming before the movie was released, saying that "Tiny Times" was rubbish.
Because it turned out that "A Romantic Affair" directed by him was also rubbish, and there was no "romantic scene" at all!
At this moment, he was not only surrounded and scolded by fans of "Tiny Times", but also other netizens were joining in the fun, mocking and slapping him in the face.
After all, the two movies released on the same day, Gao Qunshu's side was embarrassed with a box office of 10.22 million, and the reputation was still bad, and the content was seriously inconsistent with the publicity!
On the other hand, although Guo Jingming's reviews were also very bad, everyone knew what kind of movie it was in advance, and he didn't trick people into going to the theater.
And others took six days to get a high box office of 183 million, a complete victory!
...
Lin Nan must have focused on the situation of "Time Traveler".
"Director Lin, 13 days, 401 million, today's daily box office may fall below 20 million!"
Guo Fan's voice came from the phone, with a triumphant tone.
It is indeed right to be happy, because "Time Traveler" is currently leading the August schedule.
As long as it gets another 80 million, it can beat "Tiny Times 1" and become the champion of the summer schedule.
And this is not the ultimate goal. The most important thing is that the box office of "Time Traveler" must reach 500 million!
"Congratulations, director of the 400 million box office club."
"Haha, thank you Director Lin. I'm waiting to be promoted to the next level, at least with Lu Yang and Professor Xue Xiaolu."
"Looking at this box office trend, 500 million should be no problem. As for 600 million, it may be difficult."
Lin Nan's words have left room for maneuver.
600 million box office is not difficult, but almost impossible, because the later it is, the weaker the daily box office will be.
"I'm satisfied. There will be more opportunities in the future, right? Hahaha..."
"You're right. There are still many opportunities."
…………
Early the next morning, the headlines of the film and television news were the box office data of several movies.
"Time Traveler" was released for two weeks and earned 421.4 million yuan, far ahead of others.
The second is "Tiny Times 2", which took 200 million yuan in one week.
Among imported films, "Fast and Furious 6" is the most powerful, with a total of 410 million yuan in three weeks, and its potential has been exhausted.
Other movies are in another box office bracket and have no meaning in comparison.
Lin Nan struggled to open her eyes and was woken up by the phone call.
Ever since Warner announced the cast of "Interstellar," Ms. Liu has been making preparations.
At this moment, Nolan finally contacted him and informed him of the time to join the group.
"Lin, I called you because of the time difference. Are you still resting?"
"Haha, thank you, Christopher. I'm used to sleeping a little longer."
"The staff just told me that Crystal's phone has not been answered, so I can only call you."
Lin Nan didn't know how to answer this for a while.
You called Liu Yifei at eight o'clock in the morning?
Firstly, she was not filming on the set, and secondly, she did not announce the arrangements. It would be strange if she could get through it!
"Tell me the same thing, and I'll convey it to her later." Lin Nan sat up and said with a chuckle.
"That's what I think too. Tell Crystal that she has to arrive in Hollywood on September 1st. The crew is about to start work."
Lin Nan was shocked. It should be five o'clock in the afternoon in Los Angeles. He said:
"No problem, Christopher. She will return your call before eight o'clock in the evening."
"Yeah, okay, Lin."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan no longer felt sleepy, started to wash up, and prepared to go next door for breakfast.
A long time ago, Liu Xiaoli had specifically asked the nanny to have something Lin Nan likes to eat for all three meals.
In the past few years, Lin Nan and Liu Xiaoli had breakfast together more often than Liu Yifei, their biological daughter, simply because the latter liked to sleep in.
"I have to go wake her up."
Putting down the things in her hands, Liu Xiaoli went up to the second floor and headed for Miss Liu's room.
Lin Nan couldn't help but smile, waiting to see the show.
As long as she is not working, Liu Yifei is most irritable in the morning.
But one thing is good for another, and he can always be made submissive in front of his mother.
Sure enough, within three minutes, Liu Yifei's coquettish voice begging for mercy came from the open door, but it obviously didn't help.
"Yeah, don't pull your ears, I can't get up..."
Twenty minutes later, all the dishes and chopsticks in front of Lin Nan were cleared away, and Liu Yifei yawned and walked out of the room.
She was wearing pajamas, with long hair disheveled, and bare white feet. She looked at Lin Nan helplessly and pitifully.
Miss Liu would be in this state and look like this only when she was forcibly "awakened" by Liu Xiaoli.
"Hahaha, go and wash up. Nolan just called. You have to join the team on September 1st."
As soon as she heard what was going on, Liu Yifei's decadent aura was instantly wiped away.
"September 1st? That's only two weeks left!"
"Yeah, you need to call Nolan back."
Upon hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei immediately turned around and went to the room. After a while, I changed my clothes and ran to wash up.
When Miss Liu gets serious, she can throw away everything that makes her angry.
…………
News from several film festivals is pouring out.
"A team of Chinese filmmakers, headed by Director Jiang Wen, are heading to Venice one after another..."
"The Golden Rooster Committee officially announced the list of nominations for all awards at about nine o'clock in the morning..."
"For this year's Golden Rooster Awards, "1942" and "The Chinese Partner" far surpassed other works in terms of nominations!"
…
Just look at the nomination list to see how much weight Golden Rooster has. It’s really a bit thin.
In the eyes of insiders, the only ones that can sustain the show are "1942" and "The Chinese Partner", and the others are all films that have never been heard of.
Although for Lin Nan, Golden Rooster is nothing to pay attention to, but for actors in the industry, it is different.
For example, at this time, Yang Mi is on the crew of "Gu Jian Qi Tan"!
The shooting in the morning hadn't started yet, and many actors on the crew were saying hello and chatting about the news outside.
What: "How far away is "Space Traveler" from reaching 500 million?" "Director Jiang Wen went to be the judge of the main competition unit", "8 nominations for "1942"", "6 nominations for "Partners in China" "...
Only Yang Mi looked at the news on her phone with dull eyes: "Search, directed by Chen Kaige, was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award!"
""Search", nominated for Best Supporting Actress..."
Yang Mi muttered. At this moment, she really felt uncomfortable in her chest, as if there was a blockage of air, and she felt like she was suffocating.
She was originally playing this supporting role, but in the end, she was replaced by Chen Hong in the final scene.
She thinks she is no worse than Wang Luodan. If she hadn't had the drama...
"Mimi, what's wrong with you?"
Zeng Jia noticed something was wrong with Yang Mi, stepped forward to ask, and saw the news on the mobile phone on the dressing table at a glance.
Zeng Jiazhen didn't know how to comfort her. She knew Yang Mi's original ideal, to be a good actor and long for awards.
"Jiajia." Yang Mi turned around and glanced at Zeng Jia.
"Um?"
"If I hadn't skipped the show and played "Search" well, maybe I would have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress today."
Yang Mi's voice was a little hollow, which meant that she was feeling extremely lost and depressed at the moment, and she was confused.
The thing that I once dreamed of was pushed away by my own hands like that. Even if it was just an opportunity, this opportunity is really great, isn't it?
…
"But, we have already missed it, Mimi."
Zeng Jia hesitated for a long time and could only say this comforting words, while avoiding some responsibilities.
If you miss it, you miss it. Maybe it was never meant to be?
