Chapter 733 New Capital

The Internet is still going strong, and Xiao Wang is still fighting.

But "One Step Away" has completely collapsed at 513 million, which is "far away" from the original ambition of starting at 1 billion and sprinting to 2 billion.

Many headlines or hot searches of film and television entertainment information have attracted attention, such as "Jiang Wen is conceited" and "myth shattered", and the number of clicks has soared.

In general, it is because "Let the Bullets Fly" is too excellent and has a great reputation, which has left a very deep impression on countless audiences and fans.

So that in comparison, "One Step Away" seems to be a "big bad movie".

After all, Jiang Wen almost broke the sky before, and he said too much, and the audience's expectations were infinitely raised by him.

As a result, when everyone entered the theater, they were dumbfounded. This is it? What is this?

If everyone's negative emotions are not high at this moment, then it's really a ghost. Even loyal fans are silent, because they really don't understand it!

In the morning, Lin Nan left the first round of the film press conference of "Dragon Blade" midway.

After returning to the company, he was still sighing that these media reporters were simply too crazy.

It was obviously a film press conference, but the questions they rushed to ask were all about the Dragon Prince, and the atmosphere on the scene was extremely awkward.

Shanghai Film and Huayi were even more ruthless, and simply cancelled the media question session.

Some reporters still did not give up asking Jackie Chan, and then the microphone was snatched away, and the press conference immediately became chaotic.

"Director Lin, it's been spread that Director Li An is coming back to China to raise investment for his new film?"

Lin Nan glanced at Yue Jun and couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't this news in the circle a bit too late? And it's not accurate!"

"Could it be fake?"

"It's not fake. But how can he be raising investment? How can he be so high and mighty to raise investment?

He is giving these suckers 'alms' so that they can have the opportunity to scramble to give money so that they can participate in Hollywood film projects!"

Yue Jun and Lin Nan have worked together for many years. How could he not hear the ridicule and sarcasm in the latter's words? He was very surprised for a while.

"He came to me in Hollywood a few days ago. But I didn't take the chance and gave him the idea of ​​returning to China."

Now Yue Jun completely understood that this was not optimistic about Li An's new movie!

After this interruption, Lin Nan suddenly remembered the look of Ren Zhonglun when he saw him more than two hours ago.

Chairman Ren's face at the beginning was a little wrong? It was not until the press conference officially started that he had a "forced smile".

Could it be that he had already fought with La Peikang?

If that was the case, then it would make sense. He must have been upset and resentful after being defeated!

Yue Jun stayed in Lin Nan's office for a few minutes and returned to the third floor, where they were still doing sporadic auditions.

Director Lin remembered what happened with Ma Sichun yesterday and called Jiang Wenli.

"Director Lin?"

At this time, Ma Sichun was at Jiang Wenli's home.

Hearing her aunt's voice, the latter immediately sat up straight on the sofa and pricked up her ears to listen.

"Sister Wenli, Director Guo Fan said that Ma Sichun has been chosen. His evaluation is quite good:

He has good acting skills, better than many professional actors of the same age. He is very suitable for modern dramas, very malleable, and a rough diamond."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Jiang Wenli laughed out loud:

"Thank you so much Director Guo, Sichun can't bear this evaluation. In addition, I have to thank Director Lin for giving her this opportunity to get the role.

Director Gu and I will host Director Lin and Yifei to get together some other day..."

A few minutes later, the phone was hung up.

Jiang Wenli looked at her niece with a happy face and nodded with a smile:

"Are you relieved now? Adjust your state recently and be ready to join the group at any time.

Act well. If you have a first cooperation, you will have a second chance. Lin Nan Pictures likes to use acquaintances."

"Yeah. Auntie, I have been preparing all the time and will not be perfunctory."

…………

December is coming to an end, and there are only the last two days left.

And Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's flight is scheduled for January 7th.

They will leave for Hollywood 5 days in advance to prepare for the Golden Globe Awards.

At the same time, the call from Noon Sunshine came late, and it was not until the end of the month that the roles were finally decided.

"For the core actors, we have retained some of the leading actors from the previous "Nirvana in Fire". The other main roles were re-selected through auditions.

While answering the phone at home, Lin Nan looked at the email sent by Noon Sunshine on the tablet - the list of cast members and resumes!

"When are you going to start filming?"

"Early next month."

Hearing this time, Lin Nan was stunned.

From the casting to the start of filming of a TV series, there is less than two weeks in between! Isn't this a bit rushed?

Perhaps sensing Lin Nan's surprise, Hou Hongliang explained:

"This is the schedule arranged by the Chedun Film and Television Base. Director Lin, rest assured, Director Li Xing will be fine, and we are ready for everything."

Okay, since the other party said so, Lin Nan didn't bother about this issue anymore.

"Hu Ge, Jin Dong, Liu Mintao, Wang Kai, Song... Yi? "

Looking at the actress who looked familiar but couldn't remember her name on the resume, Lin Nan's tone unconsciously rose a little.

"Director Lin knows Song Yi? She graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and is a drama actress at the People's Art Theatre. "

After hearing the reminder, Lin Nan remembered that when he went to the Central Academy of Drama to promote "Bad Genius", he was recommended there.

"Not familiar, so let's leave it at that. Director Jiang will be in charge of the production of this TV series, and producer Hou can contact her later."

"Yeah, no problem."

Lin Nan didn't mention the change of actors, so Hou Hongliang wouldn't bother to make trouble.

In fact, it's not that Lin Nan forgot about it, but he really didn't like it.

The core protagonists of "The Pretender" are the "four siblings of the Ming family". Shanhai Media doesn't have suitable actors, and he doesn't like the supporting roles even more.

...

In the afternoon, the sun was bright and warm, just right.

Liu Yifei and Lin Nan sat side by side in a rocking chair, leaning against each other and basking in the sun.

"Teacher Cao Baoping has submitted "The Murderer" for review."

Miss Liu wore ladies' sunglasses and shook the tablet in her hand for Lin Nan to see.

Director Lin murmured "hmm" and said lazily: "I know, the company invested in it."

After taking a glance, Lin Nan saw that there were not only reports about "The Murderer", but also "Wolf Warrior".

No wonder Liu Yifei kept pushing him, it turned out that she was showing off!

"Wholly produced by Lin Nan Films, written and directed by Director Cao Baoping, the new script of the film "The Murderer" has been submitted for review.

Director Cao Baoping said that he will immediately start casting and prepare for the start of the film..."

"Invested by Red Star Wood with 80 million yuan, directed by Wu Tian, ​​starring Wu Tian, ​​Yu Nan, Scott Adkins, Ni Dahong and others.

The military-themed action film "Wolf Warrior" passed the review of the Film Bureau today and issued a public screening permit!"

"Co-produced by Xinghui, China Film, Shanghai Film, and Lin Nan Film, directed by Zhou Xingchi, starring Deng Chao, Lin Yun, Zhang Yuqi and others.

The investment amount is as high as 300 million, and the science fiction comedy romance film "The Mermaid" is open to the media for visits..."

"The third part of the "囧" series, "Hong Kong囧", is open for visits from today..."

...

Lin Nan swiped for a long time, all of which were movie information.

The fact that the two movies "The Mermaid" and "Hong Kong囧" can be visited means that they are about to be completed.

"Oh, Xie Nan called!" Liu Yifei said in surprise, and then answered the call and turned on the speakerphone.

"I'm free now, do you want to buy me coffee?" Liu Yifei said jokingly.

"Producer Liu is really telepathic, I'm here to buy you coffee. By the way, is Director Lin here, let's go together?"

"He? He's right next to me, very free."

"Then let's get together, our old Wu is working on the release date."

Sure enough, Xie Nan called for something serious!

Lin Nan nodded to Liu Yifei, who immediately replied, "Wait, we'll be there in a while."

...

Bona, Chairman's Office, Fatty Yu is not in a good mood at the moment.

First he was beaten by Shanghai Film, then he was warned by China Film, he didn't dare to think about Li An's "Proportion: Lin En's Midfield War".

But what made him angry was that Cao Baoping actually opened a new film here without communicating with Bona at all!

He originally thought that after "poaching" Cao Baoping, they would be able to cooperate in the future, but he didn't expect that the other party would go back to find Lin Nan. It's just interfering with casting and production, so what?

"How long will it take for China Star?"

"Mr. Yu, it will probably take more than half a year. In addition to a lot of pre-production design such as styling, costumes, and scenes, it will take a lot of time to negotiate with so many big-name actors and adjust their schedules together."

"Well, more than half a year is more than half a year. Urge them to hurry up."

"Okay, Mr. Yu. But, Mr. Yu, isn't the investment cost too high? Neither China Star nor we have this experience!"

"There are only a few directors in China who have experience in directing movies with an investment cost of 300 million or more. Lin Nan, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen... Can they come? It's useless to worry about it. This kind of movie is mainly about special effects. As for the story, there are ready-made templates for adaptation!"

Yu Dong instructs his secretary with a solemn oath. .

…………

On the last day of December, which is also the last day of this year.

Ning Hao, the fourth director of the 1 billion box office club in the Chinese film industry who joined the National Day more than two months ago, finally met the entire film and television industry as a "capital".

As soon as the news came out, everyone in the industry was shocked.

"The former Hong Kong-listed company 21 Holdings was officially renamed Huanxi Pictures after being jointly acquired by three natural persons and partners, Dong Ping, Director Ning Hao, and Director Xu Zheng.

After several months of reorganization, Huanxi Pictures officially submitted an application for resumption of trading to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange today..."

Major media, portals, news headlines, and Weibo hot searches are all about this news, and countless people in the industry are stunned.

There are only four directors in the 1 billion box office club in the Chinese film industry, and Huanxi Pictures has two of them? !

In the eyes of many industry insiders, although this company is listed through a backdoor listing, it really cannot be underestimated.

Just because it has Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, the two original shareholders of the 1 billion box office club, Huanxi Pictures is not inferior to those medium-sized film and television groups that have officially gone public through IPOs in terms of momentum!

Backdoor listed companies like Hairun are simply crushed by Huanxi Pictures!

"Mi Mi, this promotion method is only suitable for big directors, because they are potential capital, and once promoted, they will be top-level..."

...

"Congratulations, Director Ning. No, President Ning!"

"What? I am currently an independent director, which will be removed later. I will not participate in the operation of Huanxi, nor will I hold any position. I will continue to guard my bad monkey, just like your identity on Weibo.

Of course, I am far inferior to you. Am I right, Mr. Lin? Hahaha..."

Ning Hao said so, but Lin Nan could still hear the uncontrollable excitement in his tone.

How can you not want to become capital in the film and television industry? If you can't become capital, you can only be a tool and a worker for life!

"By the way, how much wealth do you have now? I see that the market value of Weibo seems to have increased a lot since it went public."

"Curiosity kills the cat, Director Ning!"
