Chapter 595: Completion of the Bet, Extension, and Approval

Speaking of "Embroidered Spring Blade" which was released more than three years ago, the film industry basically recognized that it was a rare high-quality martial arts film in the mainland.

It took a different approach, using the situation of the end of the dynasty and the decline of the building as a blueprint, supplemented by the struggle of the little people of Jinyiwei.

And it mixed court struggles, power struggles, foreign invasions, shortness of breath in the rivers and lakes, and love between children, telling a story of family, country and the world.

Compared with those traditional martial arts movies in Hong Kong Island, "Embroidered Spring Blade" undoubtedly has a unique sense of national justice and historical weight, which is impressive.

At the beginning, Lu Yang was promoted to a director of the billion-dollar club with this film, and now he is a director of the 500 million club.

Now, after 4 years, Lin Nan Pictures is going to shoot the second part?

Let alone what the production industry thinks, the actors in the film and television industry are very excited.

Because there is no doubt that this is one of the top film resources in the circle!

"Tiny Times 4" crew.

Yang Mi looked at the so-called "rumors" about "Embroidered Spring Blade" in the film and television information, with mixed emotions, and she was a little worried.

When "The Blade of the Assassin" was finished, Lu Yang said in public on the set that if the box office was okay, he would discuss the sequel plan with Lin Nan.

And the ending of "The Blade of the Assassin" was obviously not perfect, it was open, and there was a sense of wanting more, and there could be many stories later!

"This "The Blade of the Assassin 2: Shura Battlefield" is not groundless..."

Yang Mi's voice was small, but her tone was quite affirmative. It's just that her mood at the moment was somewhat entangled.

On the one hand, she still had a little fluke, after all, this was a series, and the original cast was of course the first choice.

But on the other hand, she had to face a reality, that is, she is no longer an artist of Shanhai Media, is there still a possibility...

"Jia Jia..."

Yang Mi called Zeng Jia.

A moment later, the latter walked quickly from outside into the lounge dedicated to Yang Mi.

"What's wrong?"

In fact, Zeng Jia had some guesses in her heart, after all, the gossip about "The Blade of the Assassin 2" had spread throughout the circle.

When she was chatting outside just now, many artists, agents, and assistants were talking about this matter.

And these people, intentionally or unintentionally, were asking her if Yang Mi knew the exact news.

Alas, how could she know!

"Jia Jia, go and find out for me, and confirm it."

Yang Mi looked up at Zeng Jia and said firmly.

There are not many good resources in the circle, and even fewer top resources. Her best achievements are related to Lin Nan Films. She doesn't want to give up...

"But, what can be confirmed?"

Zeng Jia frowned, thinking that Yang Mi's idea was a bit unrealistic.

"I think "Embroidered Spring Blade 2" is a real thing, not a false news out of thin air. Please help me find out and confirm it."

"Then what? What if it's true, what if it's false? We have already come out, is there still a possibility?"

Zeng Jia said "earnestly".

Yang Mi did not waver. She looked at Zeng Jia and said, "The Tiny Times series will be finished by the end of this month or the beginning of next month.

But you know, in addition to the high pay and popularity of this series of movies, it also brought me a lot of bad reputation and negative effects. I need some recognized good movies and high-quality movies. "The Sword of Assassin 2" is such a movie."

Listening to Yang Mi's serious words, Zeng Jia felt a little sorry for a moment. "Tiny Times" really made Yang Mi pay a great price in terms of reputation.

She nodded and agreed, "I will go to inquire, but if it is true, what can you do? General Yue... Yue Jun will probably not pay attention to me."

"If it is true. I will go by myself."

After a while, Yang Mi said calmly, as if she had made up her mind.

…………

Three days, four seminars, each at least two and a half hours.

Lin Nan felt that he was going crazy, but fortunately no one cared about him when he was taking a nap.

As for the news on the Internet, he and Liu Yifei were too lazy to pay attention to it. The bureau would naturally make it public in a few days.

At this moment, the industry's attention is all on the film market and the new film and television information - Lin Nan has completed the box office bet.

"The Taking of Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has been released for two weeks, with a total box office of 1.208 billion, making it the box office champion of the Spring Festival."

"The Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons Strike Back in Heaven ranks second with a box office of 670 million."

...

"It took 14 days, and the box office exceeded 1.2 billion. According to the total box office bet and profit-sharing agreement signed by Director Lin Nan and the theater chain:

Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, Wanda, and Guangguang, the four producers and distributors, will receive 46% of the shareable box office after the film is released..."

Most film companies and filmmakers in the industry have an idea:

"In less than half a month, the 1.2 billion box office bet was completed, and Lin Nan shortened this time by nearly half. Then think from another angle, what will the final total box office be, will it double?"

More and more people are beginning to estimate the final box office performance of The Taking of Tiger Mountain by Strategy.

Although many people don't want to see certain things happen, they still can't help but think about the number "2 billion".

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan came back from outside, looking relieved.

"From today until the end of the movie, there should be no more 'symposiums'.

Sitting for hours, backache, and for several days in a row! I wonder, how did those people train themselves?"

Lin Nan complained to Liu Yifei.

"How about I give you a squeeze?"

Miss Liu flashed her watery eyes and said with a smile, looking forward to it.

Lin Nan hesitated and nodded, "Try?"

"Come on, lie down on the sofa." Liu Yifei immediately jumped up and commanded.

"Why don't you just give me a squeeze? Why are you still lying down?"

Lin Nan was a little confused, but he still lay down honestly.

But the next moment, a cry like a slaughtering pig came out of Lin Nan's mouth: "Ah... kill... ah man..."

Liu Yifei was seen grabbing one of Lin Nan's arms, pressing her knee against Lin Nan's back, and started to "squeeze" her.

"When I was filming "The Condor" and "The King of Kung Fu", I had to train martial arts for several months or half a year. In addition to my daily practice, these simple body stretches are compulsory courses. Don't shout!"

"Is this easy? Are you using me to practice?"

After a long time, Lin Nan tried her best to look back at Liu Yifei. She indeed had a joking expression.

"Hehe, it's my first time doing it on someone else. I'll gradually become more proficient in it from now on."

‘Get good at me? ’ Lin Nan muttered without tears.

"Just tell me, are you a little more relaxed?"

Liu Yifei sat down on Lin Nan, folded her arms and asked arrogantly.

Well, Lin Nan didn't deny it. After the pain, he felt much better and relaxed all over.

"Well, Princess Sissi is amazing!"

"Huh, that's right."

Liu Yifei moved her butt proudly.

…

I couldn’t watch the awards ceremony at the Berlin International Film Festival. The time difference didn’t allow for it, so I had to go there at two or three in the middle of the night.

But in the first half of the red carpet of the closing ceremony, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei can still be seen.

Lou Ye was so bold that he actually found a real blind person to play "Massage" and also walked on the red carpet, which amazed the foreign media for a while.

Huang Xuan was lucky enough to be put into Lou Ye's crew to play a supporting role. It seems that following Jiang Wenli, he has indeed joined the right company!

The one who left Lin Nan and Liu Yifei stunned and unable to stop laughing was Ning Hao.

This guy led Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Yu Nan on the red carpet.

He is obviously wearing a high-end casual suit, but when he wears it, he looks like a gangster.

Especially the big gold chain around his neck, which is so bright and eye-catching! It attracted the lens of many foreign media reporters.

After persisting until 11 o'clock, Lin Nan turned off the computer and just watched the news tomorrow morning.

…

The next morning, everyone was originally paying attention to the awards news in Berlin yesterday, but the news from the film bureau in the media shocked the industry even more.

“Reprinted from the film bureau’s public document:

After multiple considerations and reviews, the application for an extension key jointly submitted by four producers, Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, Wanda, and Enlight, for the main theme commercial film "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was approved.

The new extension key will take effect on March 1st and will last for one month. The movie "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" will be postponed to March 31. "

There is no production company in the industry that doesn’t criticize motherfuckers. Is there really no way for them to survive?

"I'll go, it's really postponed!"

"Movies released in March are so miserable. Even after a month, I can't avoid Director Lin."

"That's it, we are heading towards 2 billion steadily..."

…

Huayi.

When they heard the news when they arrived at the company early in the morning, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were immediately furious.

In the chairman's office, Wang Zhonglei said with a sneer:

"Haha, the application for an extension key for "Private Customization" was rejected because the conditions were not met.

I now know which one I am dissatisfied with. My feelings are that the name of "Private Customization" is wrong. It should be called "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"! "

Wang Zhongjun browsed the official website of the Film Bureau: "China Film Co., Ltd. participated in the investment, starring Han Sanping, the main theme of the commercial film, broke 1 billion, and rushed to 2 billion.

Up and down, many of them have achieved political achievements. This is the green light from beginning to end, from top to bottom! "

Although I know the main theme of the movie, it is understandable that it enjoys special treatment.

However, the second king still felt aggrieved by the decision to reject the application for "Private Customization" because he wanted to reserve the extension key slot for "Taking Tiger Mountain".

But being aggrieved and angry is of no use. Apparently, even the film bureau is taking sides...

"The days are long, let's wait patiently. I still don't believe it, he won't have time to take a nap."

…

Lin Nan felt sorry for Ning Hao while eating breakfast.

In movie news, the news that "Taking Tiger Mountain" has been postponed has been pushed out of the headlines.

Now it's all news from Berlin.

Lou Ye's "Massage" both won the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution, but "No Man's Land" received no results.

But the biggest winner this time is still the Chinese film.

"Fireworks in the Day" won the Golden Bear Award, and Liao Fan became the first Berlin Best Actor in China and won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor.

"Before I went to Berlin, I swore that the silver bear was not good-looking. When he brought the golden bear back, he would let me play with it for two days! Isn't this a slap in the face?"

Lin Nan teased mercilessly.

"Haha, when they come back, you won't want to expose your scars in front of them, right?" Liu Yifei took a bite of the poached egg and couldn't help laughing.

"That's impossible to say."

From Lin Nan's point of view, with the level of "No Man's Land", reaching the final judging stage of the Berlin Film Festival, whether there will be a prize or not is really just a matter of thought. It can only be said that it was a bit unlucky.

After a hurried breakfast, Lin Nan drove straight to the company. There was quite a lot of business to do.

Yue Jun arrived at the office immediately.

"After "Taking Tiger Mountain" exceeded 1.2 billion, the daily box office in the third week is still around 40 million..."

"What did you get?"

Lin Nan interrupted Yue Jun's words and looked at the thing in his hand.

Yue Jun put the invitation on his desk, "Our movie is too eye-catching, Ali sent another invitation."

"What kind of event is this time?"

Although Lin Nan didn't want to deal with Ali because the latter was too pretentious, it didn't stop him from being curious.

"The Cultural China they acquired has been handed over and integrated and is ready for formal operation. For this purpose, many large companies in the industry have been invited."

Hearing this, Lin Nan was in a daze for two seconds and was finally about to enter the venue!

"I heard that Zhao Yanzi is already a shareholder, and he is also the major shareholder." Yue Jun added.

Lin Nan shook his head, "It has nothing to do with us whether we are shareholders or not. I can't spare the time, so you can arrange for someone to go."

"Okay then."

…

On the other side, Zeng Jia tossed around for several times and finally got the inseparable news.

"It should be true. I heard from several employees who were familiar with each other before that director Lu Yang often returned to the company some time ago and even met Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin on the third floor.

I inquired about their schedules and found that they were both free in the first half of the year, and neither of them accepted any acting appointments. "

It was a good thing that Zeng Jia didn't say this. After she said this, not only Yang Mi's eyes lit up, but she herself also reacted.

Isn't it a high-quality resource that the company can allow Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin to star in a movie at the same time?

Yang Mi had already taken out her mobile phone and looked through her address book, hesitating and struggling...

"Mimi, I'm going out first." Zeng Jia couldn't stand it anymore.

"Well, you go and rest. I'll take care of the rest."

"Don't take it too seriously."

"I know."

While talking, Yang Mi called Yue Jun.

…………

After Yue Jun and Lin Nan decided on a time to go to South Korea again, they left.

Before he could walk back to his office, the call came in.

Looking at the name on the caller ID, Yue Jun instantly realized what was going on.

He still has some feelings for the artists who once led the way to sign in and then left after the appointment was completed.

He walked into the office in a few steps and answered the phone.

"Director Yue, I am Yang Mi..."

Before Yang Mi could continue to say hello, Yue Jun interrupted her.

"You'd better talk about it directly. From what I know about you, you won't make a phone call without any problem."

Yue Jun's words made Yang Mi freeze for a moment, and she could only swallow back all the polite words on her lips.

"No matter what, I always want to thank Director Yue for taking care of me."

"Hey, let's get down to business."

"Director Yue, I heard that there is a sequel to "Xiu Chun Knife". I would like to ask..."

Yue Jun was not prepared to hide:

"We are starting a sequel, and the script is being reviewed, but Director Lu is solely responsible for this project. Since we are familiar with each other, I will give you a suggestion."

Hearing this, Yang Mi was a little surprised, "Say, Director Yue."

Just listen to Yue Jun sigh:

"You are developing very well now, so don't think too much about it.

I have something on hand here, so I won’t talk to you any more. "

For a moment, Yang Mi couldn't accept it. Her mind was buzzing and she stammered: "Well, Director Yue, you are busy. See you later."

"Um."

…

"Don't think too much, don't think too much..."

Yang Mi muttered this sentence repeatedly, and suddenly understood something;

"Don't think too much? It means there is a heroine in the movie, so let me not think too much!"

Gritting her teeth and summoning up her courage again, she dialed Lu Yang's number.

Two minutes later, Yang Mi was in disbelief, as if she had experienced some serious blow.

Because she only got one sentence from Lu Yang: "There is already someone else who is more suitable than you!"

"More suitable than me?"

Yang Mi asked herself, she had acted in the first film and she was a popular actress, who else could be more suitable than her?

She was very sure that it was absolutely impossible for Liu Yifei to act in this movie!

"Zhao Liying? Reba? Or some big star?

Do you want to go ask her..."

…

The review efficiency of movie scripts is much higher than that of TV drama scripts.

Only one day later, the news that the script of "Xiuchundao 2 Shura Battlefield" had been reviewed appeared on the official website of the Film Bureau, including some necessary introductions.

After the media report came out, actors in the entire film and television industry couldn't help but look over.

"The protagonist remains the same, there are many main characters."

"It's not a sequel to "Xiu Chun Dao", the timeline of this drama is before "Xiu Chun Dao"!"

"It is indeed a series. From the looks of it, I'm afraid there will be a third one."

"When will the auditions be held?"

…
