Chapter 559 Return Trip, the Problem of Navy
"Produced by Huayi and directed by Tsui Hark, the 3D martial arts suspense film "The Dragon King of the Capital" closed at 55.23 million on the first day."
"It is reported that the production cost of the movie "The Dragon King of the Capital" is as high as 130 million. After the first day of the release, the online reviews are mixed, but the box office growth trend is strong and has great potential!"
"Wang Zhonglei said that the "Di Renjie" series will become the most important headline film series project of Huayi Group, and the third, fourth, and even more will be created later."
...
Lin Nan looked at the domestic film information and was able to predict the box office champion of this National Day.
Tsui Hark's "The Dragon King of the Capital" seems to have no rivals, and other movies can't pose any threat to it.
"This 3D effect plus a large number of CG shots are really powerful, although a lot of plot and editing are sacrificed."
Lin Nan didn't see the finished film, but based on his understanding of Tsui Hark, it must be like this.
This great director, who is famous for his sharp style in lens editing, has abandoned his previous style just to accommodate 3D technology.
How should I put it? A director who is too obsessed with film technology is likely to go off the mark.
Lin Nan looked at the crew's shooting scene from a distance. Several actors were working very hard.
At this time, the phone vibrated.
"I came to Iceland, and you still harass me?"
Lin Nan looked at the incoming call notification and laughed and complained.
"Tell me, what's wrong with your graduation drama?"
Han Jianu was stunned. She hadn't spoken yet, but Lin Nan beat her to the punch.
"Brother Lin, this is not about the graduation project. Old Han's birthday party is in two days. You won't be unable to make it back, right?"
"No, I'll calculate the time to go back. If I really miss the appointment, your father will probably slam the table and curse."
"Haha, he is not so angry now. He has changed a lot in this period of time. Since you can make it back, then so be it. See you then."
"Yeah, see you then."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan shook his head gently: "How can it not change? If you step down from the top position, your mentality will definitely change."
Walking to Nolan, Lin Nan sat on the chair specially prepared for him by the crew.
"Christopher, when this movie is released, remember to bring people to promote it."
"Lin, are you talking about the Chinese market?"
Nolan did not turn his head, but continued to stare at the monitor and asked Lin Nan softly.
"Yes, I know Warner will definitely release Interstellar in the global market."
"Of course, China is the second largest film market in the world. For you and Crystal, I will personally take people to promote it."
Lin Nan smiled and nodded. This movie will bring great blessing effect to Liu Yifei.
"Lin, I remember that at the end of last year, there was a movie called Manchester by the Sea in your office. Judging from the name, it should not be a commercial film, right?"
Matt Damon's sudden words surprised Lin Nan a little.
"Matt, that is also a script for an award-winning film. Maybe I will start shooting this movie at the beginning of next year. To be precise, I should decide after the Oscars are over."
Sure enough, Matt Damon's eyes widened immediately when he heard that it was an award-winning film, but then he thought of something.
"I wish you good luck in this Oscar. I hope Leon can get what he wants."
Lin Nan smiled and said nothing. That script will be given priority to Leo.
…………
After going to bed at two in the morning for three consecutive days, Lin Nan felt that he should stop. For the sake of future happiness, he had to restrain himself.
"Nolan said that I can finish the filming in a week, or even four or five days at most. Are you going back now? Can't you wait for me?"
Liu Yifei's eyes were filled with reluctance. She really wanted Lin Nan to go back to China with her.
"Did you forget? Director Han will hold a retirement party the day after tomorrow, and it's his 60th birthday party."
Lin Nan pinched Liu Yifei's nose and reminded her.
"Ah! It seems that I really forgot!"
Miss Liu finally reacted and opened Lin Nan's hand.
"So if I stay any longer, I will miss Director Han's 60th birthday. We both didn't go, and I can't explain it."
"Then, you can represent both of us."
"That's for sure."
Lin Nan chatted with Liu Yifei while packing up the luggage he brought, and had to go back again.
At night, lying in bed to recuperate, Lin Nan browsed the domestic news by the way, which was still quite lively.
"Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" earned 94.88 million in the first two days of the weekend, which is really impressive!
Ning Hao also held a start-up ceremony for "Heart Flower Road", and filming has officially started.
Lin Nan Films is one of the producers, and Zhao Liying, as an actress under the company, has also received much media attention.
However, the information about the movie was eventually overshadowed by the quarrel between Lin Gengxin and Tangren.
Ever since the last ruling by the Shanghai Intermediate Court that Lin Gengxin would be free from October, the two sides have been at odds.
Now, there are only a few days left until October.
Lin Gengxin simply vented all his grievances and wrote a Weibo post:
"In two days, I will be free, free from that wolf den that eats people without spitting out bones. Think about my salary, they only paid me after I sued, which is really ridiculous.
It is recommended that newcomers must be cautious when signing with a company, and don't be easily "fooled", otherwise, if you join Tangren, you can only do odd jobs and waste your youth."
"In fact, I was not the only one who was 'fooled'. The girl behind me was also the same. She actually rejected Shanhai Media.
I heard that Tangren's newcomer contract has been changed again. The duration is longer, even up to 10 years, and the binding force is stronger. The penalty for breach of contract has doubled. As a 'veteran', I warn newcomers to be cautious..."
A Weibo post directly tore the wound on Tangren again, and it was when "The Dragon King of the Capital of Gods" starring Lin Gengxin was a big hit.
The media, the circle and the Internet's public opinion rose up all of a sudden, and the heat and topic level also soared instantly. Except for those in the circle who kept silent, basically everyone stood on the opposite side of Tangren.
Cai Yinong was furious and personally went to the scene, but almost no one gave him face.
Obviously, Lin Gengxin, who was about to regain his freedom, had found a thigh, otherwise he would not be so bold.
Afterwards, the number of online press releases increased overnight, all of which were reports on Lin Gengxin's poor character.
The latter was also very direct, and sent another supplementary Weibo:
"In the film and television industry, Tangren's competitors or artists who have offended Tangren, let me remind you:
My former company has always used online water army, and they have been very skilled in water army business since a long time ago.
You can check your past experiences and find unexpected surprises."
This time, it is clear that Tangren is directly put on the fire.
And Cai Yinong only issued a lawyer's letter of warning, and did not even call the police.
As for the reason, it is obvious. It is estimated that Tangren, which has been excluded by the film and television industry, will have a harder time in the future!
…………
Liu Yifei personally sent Lin Nan and his party to the airport.
"Muma, wait a few more days, I will be back after the filming is completed."
"Well, changed your lipstick?" Lin Nan said with a smile.
"Oh, you are quite experienced, Director Lin?"
"No, I got all my experience from you, Xixi."
Facing Liu Yifei's unfriendly and playful eyes, Lin Nan was also very witty.
"Hehe, I believe you, okay? Go in quickly, it's going to be late."
Liu Yifei bit her lip lightly and gave Lin Nan a smile.
"Okay, you should go back to the crew soon."
Liu Yifei didn't get on the car until Lin Nan disappeared from her sight.
It took nearly ten hours to come to Iceland, and it was the same when she went back.
When I woke up, it was the capital again.
Although the scenery of Iceland is indeed shocking, it is still the capital, and my home is more reassuring.
When Lin Nan set out to visit the set, he was not caught by reporters. Unexpectedly, he was blocked when he came back.
A group of reporters surrounded Lin Nan, attracting many passers-by to stop.
"Director Lin, can you reveal something about the movie when you visit the crew of "Interstellar" this time?"
"What are you thinking? Is this something you can say?" Lin Nan laughed and complained.
"How is Yifei's scene going?"
"It will be finished in a few days."
"What does Director Lin think about Tangren's long-term hiring of online trolls to attack and degrade peers and artists?"
Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh:
"I will definitely watch it with my eyes open, don't set me up.
But I can make my attitude clear. I accept fair competition, but if someone does this to me or someone around me, I will definitely get her!"
When a group of reporters heard this answer, their eyes lit up instantly. They finally heard something topical.
But before the reporters could ask more questions, Lin Nan had already slipped away under the cover of two assistants.
In less than half an hour, the news of Lin Nan's return to China spread in the circle, as well as his remarks;
"Director Lin Nan responded to the 'online black water' issue, saying that if someone deliberately targeted him, he would fight back strongly and mercilessly..."
...
"Super Boy, it is indeed a star-making program."
Sitting in the car, Lin Nan saw the news that had just come out.
The guy named Hua Chenyu won the championship of "Super Boy". Now the temporary popularity of the top three is almost touching the threshold of first-tier stars.
Even after this heat cools down, these people will start as third-tier artists, but they are just the kind with unstable foundation.
After all, the proportion of fans of artists who debuted through talent shows is too large, and they are too dependent on their personalities, far less than those with works.
If there is a slight problem, it is easy to collapse and become a passerby. It depends on how the agency packages them later.
However, in the industry, these artists who debuted through talent shows are also at the bottom of the contempt chain, unless they can reach the level of Zhang Jingying and speak with strength.
Lin Nan thought of the task given to Yue Jun, to go to South Korea to obtain the copyright of the variety show, but now it seems that it may take some time.
"No need to send me back, go directly to the company."
"Okay, Director Lin."
