Chapter 596 Oscars Are Coming, Breaking Records

The Academy of Oscars officially announced the awarding date, which is March 2, North American time.

Lin Nan also received calls from Leonardo, Jessica Chastain and others.

In addition to thanking him as a director, they agreed to meet in Hollywood at the end of February.

"Lin, because "The Invisible Guest" has been released in North America, the copyright transaction amount this time is only 62 million dollars."

After hearing this number from Tom, Lin Nan couldn't help but take a breath.

Oscar nominations are really valuable!

Even though it has been released in North America, the world's largest film market, how many other regions can it sell together?

"Maybe there is also a reason for the blessing of the main creative lineup?"

Lin Nan guessed in his heart. After all, he is also a frequent visitor to the three major European film festivals, and Leonardo's box office appeal is also not small.

After ending the call with Tom, Lin Nan drove from the company to Bad Monkey.

The script of "The Blade of the Assassin 2" has been reviewed, and Lu Yang issued an announcement through the Weibo of Lin Nan Pictures.

He sent out all the roles available for audition, accepted audition resumes, and started auditioning in early March.

The reason for not rushing to audition was actually waiting for Zhang Zhen, waiting for him to come out of the "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" crew.

In addition, Lu Yang also told Lin Nan a funny idea:

"Since Zhang Zhen is also used as an actor, when the release date is set later, if I put "The Sword of Assassination 2" on the same day as "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", wouldn't it be interesting? If it crushes Director Chen's "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" at the box office, it will be even more interesting!"

Lu Yang's idea is very bold, but it makes sense. After all, both movies not only use Zhang Zhen, but are also martial arts movies.

If they are really released on the same day, the topic will definitely explode.

And suppose Lu Yang really crushes Chen Kaige... Tsk tsk tsk, the circle will definitely be very lively, just thinking about it is exciting!

Lu Yang has this idea, which also shows one thing. That is, he has absolute confidence in competing head-on with Chen Kaige in martial arts movies.

…

When it came to the bad monkey, Ning Hao still had a bitter face, a round bitter face.

“I came to admire the Golden Bear trophy.” Lin Nan joked with a smile.

“Looking for trouble, right?”

Without waiting for Ning Hao to respond, Xing Aina glared at Lin Nan.

Good guy, not winning the Golden Bear Award is also good, at least the couple is harmonious.

Xing Aina can take the initiative to protect Ning Hao, which means that the matter of checking mobile phone text messages on New Year's Eve has been exposed.

“Sit down.”

Ning Hao pointed to the sofa next to him with a sullen look.

"How was it? Did your heart beat fast when the award was announced?"

"Nonsense, those are the top three in Europe.

When the Golden Bear went to "Black Coal, Thin Ice" and I didn't win anything, my mind went blank for a moment, I didn't know where I was, it took a long time to recover."

As he spoke, Ning Hao sighed;

"I don't know when I will have the chance to go to the top three again... Anyway, I don't plan to make award-winning films in the next two years."

"Then hurry up and do the post-production of "Heart Flower Road". You are still at the bottom of the 200 million club, it's embarrassing." Lin Nan teased.

"Fuck him, you wait for me, I will show you what it means to make a big splash..."

As they talked and laughed, the gloomy atmosphere disappeared.

Suddenly, Ning Hao changed the subject:

"Your "囧" series really hurt people a lot."

"What's the matter?"

"During this trip to Berlin, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo really became estranged. Although they seem to be on good terms on the surface, I can see that they are already strangers.

When "No Man's Land" was released before, they added promotional screenings and asked you to come out for dinner, but it was still like this."

Hearing this, Lin Nan understood immediately. It seems that Ning Hao also knew that Xu Zheng kicked Huang Bo out of "Hong Kong囧".

Not only did he not agree to participate in the investment, but he also kicked him out because of the high salary! This operation is hard to evaluate. After all, with the popularity of the "囧" series, how could it lack investment?

"Money moves people's hearts. Xu Zheng is an ambitious person who wants to be a capital.

Don't get involved in their affairs. Just get along as usual."

...

When a strange number called in, Liu Yifei, who was playing games, did not hesitate and hung up.

When the call came in the second time, she still refused to answer.

But when this number called for the third time, Miss Liu couldn't help wondering, did an acquaintance change his number? She answered the phone hesitantly.

Within ten minutes, she made three calls. When the other party really answered the phone, Yang Mi was a little timid.

This number was obtained from Yue Jun when she was still in Shanhai Media. I didn't expect to use it today.

"Yifei, this is Yang Mi..."

Hearing this voice, Liu Yifei reacted for a few seconds, and a puzzled look appeared on her face.

"Well, is there anything?"

"You know, I played in the company's "Embroidered Spring Blade" before. I want to ask about the second part. Who is playing the female..."

Liu Yifei looked at the computer screen that had turned gray, a little distressed, Shu Chang was still typing and asked her what was wrong.

"I don't interfere with the casting, but I can tell you that Chang Chang has been decided as the female lead."

This sentence made Yang Mi on the other end of the phone feel like she was falling into an abyss. She stuttered and said, "Well, thank you, Yifei, goodbye."

"Well, goodbye."

The moment she hung up the phone, Miss Liu immediately re-entered the battle.

On the other side, Zeng Jia looked at Yang Mi, who looked ashen, and knew that there was no hope at all, but she still couldn't help asking:

"Who got the leading female role?"

"Shu Chang."

Zeng Jia opened her mouth, but had nothing to say. This was almost the same as Liu Yifei's personal participation in the show!

In terms of audience popularity, Shu Chang had so many hit TV series that at her peak, she even overshadowed Liu Yifei. She was also the best supporting actress at the Golden Horse Awards, and her acting skills were better than Yang Mi's...

Yang Mi looked at Zeng Jia's expression and knew what she was thinking.

"I have no hope. This is definitely decided by Director Lin himself."

"Couldn't it be Liu Yifei? They have such a good relationship, just like sisters."

"Although I haven't had much contact with her, I know her. She is well-educated, won't lie, and won't disdain, at most she will ignore you..."

Yang Mi talked about her understanding of Liu Yifei, which made Zeng Jia a little stunned.

...

Ending in mid-February, several movies in the Spring Festival period were followed by the media.

"A Chinese Odyssey" was forced to be taken off the screen with a box office of 29.3 million; "Ex-Files" took 89.5 million and stopped there.

"The Man from Macau has been released for three weeks, with a total box office of 370 million, and the daily box office has dropped to 2 million!"

"Havoc in Heaven has a box office of 100 million in the third week, with a cumulative total of 770 million!"

The highlight of the media is always at the end:

"The Taking of Tiger Mountain by Strategy has earned 265 million in the third week, with a total box office of 1.473 billion!"

"The 1.43 billion domestic film box office record held by Lin Nan's Bad Genius was broken by Lin Nan himself yesterday.

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has become the number one domestic film box office ranking, and the total box office will continue to accumulate in the next forty days..."

...

In the past twenty days, the film industry seems to have gotten used to it.

At this moment, everyone has a consensus in their hearts.

Perhaps the next big news of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" will be that its box office has exceeded 2 billion.

After all, there are still nearly forty days of release time!
