Chapter 606: Finale, Filming Completed
The Chinese film market is becoming more and more prosperous, approaching North America, and has long been the focus of Hollywood.
When the crew started working in the morning, Lin Nan saw a piece of film information from China.
The Chinese blockbuster "Iceberg: The Gate of Rebirth", which has invested 200 million yuan and is known as a 3D magic blockbuster, is scheduled to be released on April 25.
To be honest, at first glance, the name gives people a sense of déjà vu of a Hollywood science fiction blockbuster that has been transliterated from Chinese.
But when Lin Nan took a closer look at the main creative lineup, he couldn't help laughing out loud the next second.
I don't know if this so-called 3D magic blockbuster was shot by Zhen Zidan, Huang Shengyi, Wang Baoqiang and Ren Dahua in the past.
Looking at it now, it is not only funny but also ironic, it is a pure joke.
Because the male lead Zhen Zidan has completely fallen from the first line to the second line;
And the female lead Huang Shengyi is nowhere to be seen in the third line, she has long gone!
"Oh, Guangguang is really ruthless!
They actually scheduled "My Deskmate" on the same day. Is it going to compete with Zhen Zidan and Huang Shengyi's movies? Well, not bad!"
In Lin Nan's opinion, Gao Xiaosong's "My Deskmate" is definitely not very good.
But it cannot be denied that youth-themed movies are popular in the market now, and no matter how good or bad the quality is, they can reap a lot of box office.
These two movies are released in the same period, Guangguang is indeed a bit "overly bullying" Zhen Zidan and Huang Shengyi.
Suddenly, Lin Nan thought of something interesting:
"Yang Zai, the boss and the hidden husband, is probably psychologically traumatized, right?
It was because of Guangguang that Huang Shengyi, a first-line actress, was played by Director Wang...tsk tsk."
"Lin, everything is ready."
The voice of the crew's logistics staff came from a distance, and Lin Nan immediately put down his phone and sat up from the director's chair.
"Then prepare to start filming, Leon, Jessica..."
"OK."
"Lin, I'm ready."
"Manchester by the Sea" has officially entered the final shooting of the last scene.
In China, as the first fairy drama produced by Lin Nan Films, the audition and casting of "The Journey of Flower" has attracted much attention from actors in the industry, but today's headlines in the film and television industry are not this.
Yue Jun looked at the banquet invitation in his hand, then looked up and glanced at the news on the computer screen, and smiled a little sadly.
"Yang Mi, the top of the four young actresses in the mainland and a popular actress, and her agent Zeng Jia have jointly established a film and television company: Jiaxing Media, which was officially unveiled today."
"Yang Mi said that after the studio is upgraded to a film and television company, it will also carry out multiple businesses such as artist management, film and television investment, and drama production."
"Zeng Jia, general manager of Jiaxing Media, emphasized that he will work with Yang Mi, a partner, one of the bosses and the leading actress, to make the company bigger and stronger."
"Many companies in the film and television industry have confirmed that they have received invitations to Jiaxing Media's opening dinner...including the old employer Shanhai Media and Rong Xinda..."
...
Yue Jun was a little emotional. These two people are indeed ambitious. They know that there is no real future in being an actor, an agent, or even opening a studio.
"Now that the studio has become a company, they will not still think about financing and listing in two years, right? Haha..."
Yue Jun laughed and joked, and immediately shook his head again, I'm afraid it's impossible.
But since the invitation letter has been sent to Shanhai Media, he really can't help but show up.
Otherwise, the media might write about him again, saying that he is narrow-minded and petty.
…
Sitting behind the monitor, Lin Nan watched the rivalry between Leonardo and Jessica.
No matter how the latter's mood changes, even if she cries and begs the male protagonist to change the status quo and embrace life again.
But Leonardo looks dead silent.
Under the close-up, there is no spirit or light in his eyes, as if his heart is a pool of dead water, without any ripples.
"Click."
As Lin Nan's voice sounded, everyone knew that "Manchester by the Sea" was about to be completed.
"Let's finish early today and try to finish it within three days!"
Lin Nan moved his stiff neck and said casually.
"Lin, how are you going to operate this movie?"
Leonardo asked with concern, and Jessica and Matt also looked over.
It has been nearly a month since the Oscars, and these people are obviously still savoring it.
"Well... the same as "The Invisible Guest."
Hearing this answer, everyone on the scene, especially the leading actors, showed excitement on their faces.
"Oh God, we are going to sprint for the Oscars again." Jessica grinned.
"What good news, I should strive for the best actor!"
Leonardo nodded, his face was happy at first, and then he might think of the "tragic experience" in the past twenty years, and he became a little restrained and melancholy.
Back to the villa, Lin Nan took a nap.
When it was about six o'clock in the evening, he ordered a high-calorie pizza. Food can relax the body and mind and relieve fatigue.
Five or six video calls were made, and it took ten minutes before the other party answered.
What Lin Nan saw was Liu Yifei, who squinted her eyes, looked sleepy, without makeup and confused.
"Get up, it's almost ten o'clock."
"Oh, you are so annoying."
Miss Liu tried hard to sit up, her long black hair was casually scattered, and coupled with her morning temper, her delicate face under the wrinkled brows had some resentful meaning.
"In three days at most, I can finish it."
Lin Nan said with a chuckle.
Looking at Liu Yifei's appearance, he found it very interesting. If he were nearby, he would definitely move Miss Liu's face.
However, the consequences may be serious, such as being suppressed with backhand, pinned to the bed...
Hearing that Lin Nan was about to wrap up the project, Liu Yifei's eyes widened and she suddenly woke up.
She asked happily: "Really?"
"Yeah, really. I'll send you the flight information then."
"Okay, I'll pick you up."
The next second, Liu Yifei rolled her eyes angrily when she saw the food Lin Nan put to her mouth, "Are you greedy for me on purpose?"
"Haha, I'm counting the time and calling you for breakfast."
Coincidentally, just as Lin Nan finished speaking, there was a knock on the door opposite, and it was Liu Xiaoli's voice:
"Sissi, get up and eat quickly. I've called you three times. If you don't get up, I'm really going to whip you...be careful of stomach problems..."
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei's resentful expression and suppressed a smile, "Go quickly."
"Coming."
Liu Yifei shouted towards the door, glanced at Lin Nan, and said with a joking expression: "I'm going to change clothes and wash up, hang up."
"Oh, no, you can change while..."
"……chat."
Lin Nan looked at the disconnected video call and smiled silently: "You won't show it yet? Wait until I get back and see it in person..."
…
Although there are still two days left in March, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has completely sold out at the box office.
The first 2 billion box office movie in Chinese film history ended successfully.
The media and industry once again showed respect, namely the headlines on the film and television news:
"Directed by director Lin Nan, produced by Liu Yifei, starring Han Sanping, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing, Luo Jin, Tong Liya and others.
The main theme commercial movie "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was released successfully for 58 days, with a total box office revenue of 2.053 billion. "
"The new domestic movie box office record is set at 2.053 billion!"
"The four producers, Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, Wanda, and Guangwang, will receive a total of 866 million in divisible box office. The special film fund reward will be about 100 million, and the final net profit will be about 900 million."
…
The film industry has finally seen the final profits from "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom". This is the most profitable film in the domestic film market since the turn of the millennium!
The investment share ratio of the four producers was also disclosed in China Film's report, 3:3:2:2.
In addition to envy and jealousy, the production industry also cast its eyes on Hua Yi as if it were a joke. Many people in the industry were sarcastic in private:
"I heard that at Director Han's retirement banquet on National Day last year, Wang Zhonglei invited Director Lin to offer a guaranteed box office of 800 million, but Director Lin asked for 1.2 billion, and Wang Zhonglei gave in!"
"Dong Yu from Bona flinched on the spot after hearing the figure of 1.2 billion..."
"Good guys, these two are so angry right now, right?"
"If you don't make this kind of money, you can't live without it! He would be able to trick Zhou Xingchi."
…
For two consecutive days, Lin Nan went through all the previous scenes while filming.
He will take the film back to China and focus on post-editing, not wanting to have to reshoot.
On the morning of the third day, when the crew was taking a break, Lin Nan flipped through domestic news as usual.
Director Wu Tianming's memorial service was held at Nortel.
Including Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei, Tian Zhuangzhuang and other major fifth-generation directors in China, none of them are missing.
This person can be regarded as the teacher of Zhang Yimou and others, and his posthumous work "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" was not released to the public.
In an interview, Director Zhang rarely mentioned the box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom".
He bluntly said that all domestic directors are now kidnapped by the box office and market, including him, and the current box office record holder - Lin Nan.
When Lin Nan was on the set of "Manchester by the Sea", she felt like she was sitting at home.
After returning to China, he will most likely be chased by the media and asked what he thinks of Zhang Yimou's words?
"Come on, prepare for the last shot." Lin Nan shouted to everyone.
Actors, photography, lighting...the whole team got back to work immediately.
All the leading actors and supporting actors gathered around the cemetery and looked at Matt's coffin. This long shot had no lines and relied on silent acting.
…
Under the sunset, the uncle and nephew played by Leonardo are walking on the path. There are not many lines, but they still look depressed and dull.
The former will leave Manchester, while the latter chooses to stay, like his father, the late "Matt".
The ending of this movie is the same as that of "The Hunt". What happened is irreversible, tragic and helpless.
"Click!"
Everyone looked towards the director's position.
Lin Nan took a breath and relaxed a lot.
He glanced at Leonardo, Jessica Chastain, Matt Damon, and other supporting characters, and then smiled:
"I announce that production of Manchester By the Sea has officially been completed."
…………
Today's second chapter will go until early morning.
