Chapter 243 Wanda Pictures, the second director of the 400 million club
Director Golden Lion quits the Film Association?
This is simply the biggest gossip in the film and television industry.
How many newcomers have no way to get in, but Lin Nan wants to get out...
Well, people in the industry have to admit that Lin Nan has the capital to own a golden lion and two silver bears.
Many actors with good relationships came to ask Lin Nan about this matter, and the latter gave an affirmative answer.
In addition, the incident of wearing small shoes and eye drops some time ago is still vivid in everyone's mind.
Now, the industry was really sure that Lin Nan had really broken up with the association.
"You are awesome. You took the lead in doing this. Now many directors have other ideas..."
Ning Hao told Lin Nan that the association held a general meeting in the past two days, and there was almost no quarrel at the scene.
"What's the noise about?"
"Originally, I was talking about your withdrawal from the association, but in the end, out of nowhere, I started to complain about the association.
It is said that a group of people not only do nothing, but sometimes often 'make trouble' and 'suppress dissidents'..."
Lin Nan could tell that there were a lot of people who had opinions, but they probably wanted to use his matter to vent their anger at most. If they really wanted to withdraw from the membership, there was a high probability that not many would be willing to do so.
…
"The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is released.
All theater chains have tacitly agreed to give this movie a high number of releases.
In the first half day, the box office exceeded 15 million. By the end of the first day, the box office exceeded 26 million.
China Film Group shouted out its slogan, hoping that this film would set a new box office record for domestic films.
Immediately afterwards, some schools and units began to organize organized visits to theaters to watch movies...
This operation left many film and television companies dumbfounded and had to accept it.
…
There is another big company in the film industry.
Unlike some fledgling film production companies, Wanda Pictures is huge.
In the past two years, their theater chain has been expanding wildly, and now that they are entering upstream production, no one will deny them face.
At a reception for the establishment of a new company, all the guests present were big names, especially directors, and this was evident.
Lin Nan took Guo Fan and Lu Yang on a trip.
Wanda's people are very naked and would rather kill someone than let them go.
They told all the directors, screenwriters, and producers present that if they could not find investment for any project, they could contact Wanda Pictures. Of course, those who are willing to sign the contract would be better, and Wanda Pictures would focus on supporting them...
"Director Lin, are they too direct?" Guo Fan swallowed his saliva, looking shocked.
"With no foundation in the production field, the best way is to use money to pave the way and cast a wide net." Lu Yang explained.
Lin Nan felt that Wanda Pictures might not be able to produce any results in a short period of time, as people are not so easy to poach.
In two years' time, film salaries will skyrocket and theaters will be king. By then, Wanda's advantages will be fully reflected...
Lin Nan brought Guo Fan and Lu Yang here today because he wanted to let them get in touch with the circle. After all, they were all newcomers.
But these two guys, one was talking about martial arts feelings, and the other was talking about film techniques. They were completely incompatible with the atmosphere of the cocktail party, and everyone around them tried their best to cooperate...
Lin Nan felt a little embarrassed when he saw it, but from another perspective, this kind of guy is quite good.
"Director Lin?"
"Mr. Lu...by the way, I haven't congratulated you yet."
When a group of senior executives from Wanda Pictures came out just now, there was Lu Zheng.
"Director Lin, you're very polite. When there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely ask you to help us direct the film. The salary will definitely not be a problem."
Lin Nan was a little surprised. Lu Zheng was very talkative today. Is this the first thing he said?
"Mr. Lu is joking, I haven't considered taking on any outside roles in a short period of time."
"Haha, don't worry, there is always a chance. Well, Director Lin's girlfriend didn't come today?"
Lin Nan shook his head, Liu Yifei had an appointment with Shu Chang today.
"Then another day, Director Lin will definitely take him to get to know everyone..."
Lin Nan heard this in confusion. Lu Zheng was a little confused today.
…
After today, Wanda Pictures is officially established.
"Many people asked me today if I have any plans for the next movie. Will Director Lin provide the material?"
When he went back, Lu Yang only thought it was funny when he talked about this matter. These people were so purposeful.
"Me too..." Guo Fan added.
…
Xue Xiaolu took some time to come to Lin Nan about selecting actors for "Thirty-three Days of Love".
"To be honest, I really admire you. I gave Zhu Yawen the male lead and Jiang Yiyan the female lead. I originally thought this would be enough.
Fortunately for you, most of the remaining roles were chosen by Nortel. Did the acting department put pressure on you? Haha..."
Lin Nan looked at the role Xue Xiaolu had chosen in her free time and joked with a smile.
Not only is the heroine Wang Luodan, most of the other characters are Nortel graduates...
"As I say, I am a teacher at Nortel, and I will definitely give priority to students in my own school.
However, the performance department did provide some suggestions..."
Xue Xiaolu didn't hide anything, she said it directly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, there is also Guo Jingfei in the show." Lin Nan said.
"Well, I went there on a business trip before and saw his play. It was very good, so I gave him a role."
Xue Xiaolu remembered something, "Some time ago, many brokerage companies came to me to recommend people. The key is that they were all successful, but I rejected them all."
"Which companies?"
"Chengtian, Shiba Culture, Tangren, Huayi...
Especially Hua Yi, who wanted the female lead right from the beginning, and he is also a hit."
Lin Nan smiled and said nothing.
It can be seen that Xue Xiaolu deliberately favored people from her own school when choosing people and casting roles, but that's fine, it doesn't affect anything.
"Now all the roles have been decided, and I'm preparing to start filming in November."
"Okay, this list of actors can be announced."
…………
"Love Is Not Blind" announced that casting has been completed.
Many people in the industry found this movie interesting, as 99% of them are from Nortel.
"Something strange happened this time!"
"From the director, screenwriter, to actors, this time it can be said to be a pure Nortel lineup!"
""Thirty-three Days of Love", with an investment of 9 million, is expected to start filming in November..."
Lin Nan saw the news about Huang Xiaoming.
Qin Lan and Lu Chuan were photographed spending the night together, and the media brought out the woman's previous boyfriend, Master Huang, for comparison...
There are actually many people saying that Huang Xiaoming is not as good as Lu Chuan. This is really damning.
Lin Nan suddenly realized something. It seems that directors have a much higher status than actors at this stage, and that guy has indeed won several awards...
…
Lin Nan returned home, parked the car, and went to Liu Yifei's place.
"Changchang, why are you still here?"
"You mean to drive me away? Do you think I'm getting in the way of you?" Shu Chang rolled his eyes.
"How come?
What are you two looking at?"
Lin Nan saw Liu Yifei and Shu Chang flipping through a very beautiful booklet.
"Invitations for this year's Bazaar Charity Night auction have been sent..."
Liu Yifei raised her head, with a smile on her smooth face.
"Then don't think about it, I must have it there too."
In this kind of activity, the higher your status, the higher the invitation level, which is extremely realistic.
I went there once last year, and I will definitely not miss the Golden Lion director Lin Nan this year.
"Well, let's go together then."
"It's so sour." Shu Chang complained.
"Then we'll include you?" Liu Yifei winked at her best friend.
"I'm not going, I have an announcement that day."
Lin Nan glanced at the picture album sent by Bazaar, "Hey guys, there are more and more of these auction items, and they are getting more and more expensive."
After a while, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang began to discuss which one was beautiful and which one looked better.
My eyes almost stopped at the dozens of pages of jewelry and haute couture dresses...
Lin Nan was like a ball of air, left alone and ignored him!
"Haha, as expected, no matter what age, women look the same..."
…
The next day, Lin Nan personally sent Lu Yang and his party to the airport.
"Don't worry, Director Lin. In the next half month, I will try to sell "Cinema for the Blind" at a good price and get a grand prize at the same time, haha..."
Lu Yang started to brag.
Although the Busan Film Festival is very friendly to newcomers, it is not so friendly as to give you the status of a grand prize. At best, it will give you nothing.
"Come on, it would be nice to double the profit on top of getting your capital back. It's so beautiful to think about now, be careful of being hit later."
Lin Nan poured some cold water on it to stop it from floating too much.
"Director Lin, we have agreed that when I come back from the Busan Film Festival, I want to see your script..."
How long has it been and Lu Yang is still thinking about this matter.
"Okay, no problem, I'll write it when I get back later, haha."
"Didn't you say that you already have a ready-made script?"
"Can't you tell it's a joke!"
Guo Fan complained from the side.
He still envied Lu Yang in his heart. He didn't know when he would have the opportunity to take his work to the film festival.
"Director Lin, Lao Guo, please go back, we are going in."
Lu Yang smiled and waved his hand, leading several staff members into the waiting hall. Before the closing ceremony of the Busan Film Festival, the leading actors would also pass by.
…
Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" has finally been officially launched after training for so long.
Lin Nan really didn't pay attention to the character played by Zhang Yizhen.
However, word spread in the industry that Zhou Yun wanted to introduce Zu Feng to the crew, but Jiang Wen refused.
But Lin Nan successfully stuffed Zhang Yi inside.
In contrast, the benefits of an actor signing with a big director are immediately apparent.
Many people thought of the ten-year contract Zhang Yi signed three years ago, and they were cursing in their hearts, "You're such a thief with small eyes!"
The box office performance of "The Founding of a Republic" seems to be stronger than that of "Inception", almost similar to "The Martian".
In the first week, it steadily exceeded 150 million, and the daily growth was very steady, with an incredible stability.
Many media predict that this movie will break the box office record of "The Martian" and reach a box office figure of 450 million.
Han Sanping smiled very happily when being interviewed by the media.
"The box office and everything are all fictitious. This movie is mainly a gift. As for how much it will get in the end, it all depends on the audience..."
When the reporter mentioned that Han Sanping might become the second director of the 400 million box office club, Han Sanping burst out laughing and said, "Nonsense..."
Chapter completed!
