Chapter 175: Ying Huang buys horse bones for a thousand gold coins, the arrogance of the golden rooster
Jiang Wen felt like a tiger fell into the sun.
When the movie was first shortlisted, domestic companies quoted the audio-visual copyright of "The Sun Rises As Normal" at a maximum of two million.
Now that the film festival is over, he has not won any awards, and the quotation for audio-visual copyright has dropped by 500,000 yuan at once.
This was the first time he had experienced the humiliation brought by this sense of gap.
"It depends on the results of the domestic release."
Zhou Yun said in a low voice.
From the end of the award ceremony, various reporters asked questions more or less with the intention of provoking trouble.
Jiang Wen has a bad temper again, almost always fucking reporters.
There are definitely many colleagues waiting to see jokes now.
...
British and Huang invited the invitation to hold a large-scale premiere for "The Sun Rises As Normal" and posted it all throughout the industry.
Everyone thinks this operation is a bit confusing. Is it worth it for an art film and no award?
Lin Nan was not absent after agreeing to Jiang Wen's invitation.
At the premiere, Jiang Wen directly mentioned the cost of the filming of the film.
"From more than 10 million to more than 20 million, I have to push it back halfway through the auction. Yang Dong of Yinghuang didn't say anything, just kept giving money.
This movie has been filmed for more than a year, and I didn’t hide the cost, and I spent about 60,000 yuan…”
After saying this, both the media and the industry insiders took a breath.
This is really a witch!
Yang Shoucheng was also on the stage and smiled.
"I, Jiang Wen, have recorded the love between Mr. Yang. If you want to put others down, I will probably let me get out of here, haha.
I won’t talk about this art film. I will wait for next time, and I will tinker with a commercial film next time, and I will repay this love at that time..."
"I still understand the principle of buying horse bones with a rich man, so Ying Huang is willing to provide a guarantee for director Jiang Wen."
Isn’t it just a wealthy person to buy horse bones if he wants to make a 60 million art film?
Many production companies present have never done such a big project.
The movie begins.
Most industry insiders take it seriously, including Lin Nan.
Everyone wants to know why in the film festival reports, it is said that many people cannot understand this film.
After seeing two-thirds of the film, Lin Nan knew why the film was not favored by the foreign judges of the jury.
Jiang Wen’s old problem has been dealt with again, and there are too many metaphors.
The first two of the four clips are completely unrelated, and the third one is slowly connected.
The most important thing is that where can we know the history in the film abroad.
I couldn't understand the background at all, and the plot structure also used a circular narrative model. Coupled with a lot of metaphors, this result is the current result.
When the movie was finished, many people were confused at the scene.
Once, I really didn't understand. If I didn't know that the director was Jiang Wen, most people might not have watched it the second time.
When facing reporters, I asked: Where did the crazy mother go in the end in the video? Did Xiaoliang commit suicide or kill him in the end? Who is Li Dongfang's father?
...
Jiang Wen's answer seemed a bit casual and perfunctory, but it was really what he said in his heart.
"There are all blanks left to the audience to think about these plots."
Lin Nan felt that Jiang Wen was thinking too beautiful. If the story approaches perfection, it would be better to leave some imagination space.
But in his movie, the story is full of no end, and the audience will not think about the original intention, connotation, and what kind of thoughts and realm you want to express when making this movie.
During the cocktail party, we saw Yang Shoucheng and Jiang Wen laughing with people in the theater.
The box office pressure was too great, and even Jiang Wen temporarily put down his pride.
Lin Nan and Huang Xiaoming were chatting aside.
The latter just attended the Bazaar Charity Auction Gala two days ago.
I heard that the stars were shining that day, and the first-line stars such as Zhao Yanzi, Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, Fan Bingbing, Chen Kun were all there.
“How many donated?”
"I took a women's watch for 300,000 yuan, but I didn't want it, just pretended to be a donation."
Huang Xiaoming said this generously.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei both received invitations, but one was on the Ning Hao crew and the other had an interview program to be on, so they both refused.
At this time, Jiang Wen came over.
"Director Jiang."
Huang Xiaoming greeted him and walked away. He could tell that the other party was looking for Lin Nan.
"Brother, I'm quite embarrassed this time. I'm still thinking about the Golden Palme d'Or, the Golden Lion. It's inevitable that I'll cheat Mr. Yang now."
"Are the movies? Who can say that they succeed every time?" Lin Nan replied.
"But I think you haven't lost anything?"
"Is there a possibility that I don't make such a mysterious movie?"
"You think this movie is too profound?"
"Director Jiang, we make movies for the audience. We have to consider their ability to accept. They can't understand them. No matter how good the industry's evaluation is, it's useless."
Lin Nan gave Jiang Wen his own advice.
Just look at the latter nodding and thinking.
"If you want to make a commercial film, you have to pay attention to this aspect, but the style cannot be changed..."
Jiang Wen muttered, "Wait until I open a commercial film next time, I will find you a staff officer."
"Okay, I'll wait for Director Jiang's next movie."
Lin Nan agreed.
A proud director like Jiang Wen will not only make art films, but will sooner or later enter the commercial film field.
The next day, "The Sun Rises As Ordinary" was released. News at the premiere was also reported.
Sixty million art films have become a gimmick to attract audiences to the theater.
Liu Yifei dragged Shu Chang and ran to the cinema.
When I came back, it turned into a hundred thousand whys.
Lin Nan still has to give answers.
The box office of two million on the first day is a good box office result for art films.
Now the industry is waiting for the final result, how much does the British and Huang lose in this movie?
Judging from the data collected by the media in the theater, the attendance rate was quite high, but after it came out, 90% of people said they couldn't understand it.
Starting from the next day, the box office was cut in half...
"Painting Heart" was produced and successfully completed.
It is very appropriate for Jane Zhang to sing this song.
Tom sent a message that the people Lin Nan sent him to have already started learning various machinery and software applications, and the efficiency is very high.
Lions Gate's "Luxing 2" has been on the filming for a while, and I heard that the cycle will not be short this time.
Finally, there is the promotion of "Twilight".
Lions Gate promised that there will be 3,000 painting theaters this time, and it has begun to promote it.
Lin Nan also searched specifically.
Since the vampire theme is too popular there, the promotional influence of the movie "Twilight" can only be said to be average.
But this is also limited by the theme, youth romance films, put on the cloak of vampire.
Although it is an adaptation of a best-selling novel, it can be placed in the film market and its status is not so prominent.
Ning Hao called and he received the invitation from the Golden Rooster.
"The Racing will be finished early next month. Do you think I want to go?"
"Who invited you?" Lin Nan asked.
After a few seconds of silence, Ning Hao's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Professor Hou?"
At this moment, Lin Nan really admired the Golden Rooster Organizing Committee.
I asked the school leaders of the Film Academy to call them.
"How can you not go?" Lin Nan asked back.
"I understand, then go."
Liu Yifei also received an invitation and attended as a guest.
There is a high probability that I will walk the red carpet with those in the crew of "Kung Fu King".
Just the guests, Lin Nan doesn't care. Anyway, he made up his mind and would not take the movie to participate in the Golden Rooster.
At the Busan Film Festival, Lin Nan has already known Xijie and can't go there by himself.
The latter said it was okay. If they got the prize, they would send someone to Lin Nan.
...
Recently, Tian Yu has made headlines in an alternative way.
When he broke up with Tang Wei before, only a few people around him knew about it, and it was not reported.
Recently, the media reported that the fake drama "Lust and Caution" was really done, which led to a suspected relationship between Tang Wei and her boyfriend.
During the interview, Tang Wei agreed to the breakup and said that he is still a good friend now.
Now, the media's eyes instantly focused on Tian Yu.
His information and resume appeared online.
The most conspicuous one is the second male lead who played Lin Nan's "Time and Space Cruise".
Tang Wei once visited Tian Yu once on the crew of "Time and Space Cruise".
This made Zeng Li, Chen Minghao and others chased and asked about this matter by the media these two days.
"Don't worry, if the media asks me, I'll definitely know nothing."
Tian Yu also called Lin Nan specifically.
The meaning is very clear. I hope everyone will not say anything about this matter. If they break up, they will not have enough fate and do not want to affect the other party’s future career.
This is rare in the circle. Many couples become enemies after breaking up.
However, Tian Yu was right. A movie called "Lust and Caution" made Tang Wei famous instantly. I heard that the advertising value has increased from 50,000 to 2 million, which is the same level as Zhao Yanzi and the others.
...
The Red Mansion finally released accurate news.
Li Shaohong replaced Hu Mei as director.
All the leading actors who came out of the previous talent show have "major change" or have changed from the leading position to another role.
This news is not big.
What caused heated discussion in the film and television industry was the shortlist of the Golden Rooster Awards for Best Picture and other awards.
Zhang Yimou's movie was shaved, and Feng Xiaogang's movie was only nominated for the Best Recording Award.
All commercial films that have been registered for this year have been eliminated.
In addition, "The Good Man in the Three Gorges" that won the Venice Golden Lion Award last year, and "Tuya Marriage" that won the Golden Bear Award this year were also eliminated.
This is simply a naked joke.
The media interviewed the Secretary-General of the Film Association and the Secretary-General of the jury.
Other people's answers are very direct.
"I have signed up for commercial blockbusters, but we didn't choose them. It's that simple."
"The Golden Rooster has its own selection rules. The Golden Lion and Golden Bear movies do not necessarily meet our selection criteria..."
If you don’t know, you think the Golden Rooster is the best in the world.
Ning Hao called Lin Nan as soon as he saw this news.
"If you have a movie in the future, don't bring the Golden Rooster to make mistakes. The three best films in Europe are not worthy, let alone us."
"Just borrowing its place to promote our movies. As for participating in the competition, there is really no need."
Lin Nan and Ning Hao reached a tacit understanding on the Golden Rooster Awards for the first time.
These old antiques are becoming more and more arrogant when doing things, and no longer cares about what public opinion says.
I really hold on to the film festival's right to speak to demonstrate my high status and influence in the industry.
Chapter completed!
