The stars are shining and the "Warring States" project was revealed to the outside world.
Costume historical war movie!
As soon as this news came out, it attracted the attention of a large number of filmmakers.
Although the domestic film market is booming, such projects with an investment of 150 million yuan are really rare.
On weekdays, there are only a few big directors who can receive and play movies of this investment scale.
The media rushed to report that industry insiders were asking about the crew, director, casting, production team...
"It's so starry-toned, it's actually exclusively produced!"
“Another strong production company…”
The incident of Lu Zheng's invitation to Lin Nan as director was also reported.
"The salary is 20 million, plus the box office share. This is why Director Lin is worth the price."
"Director Lin Nan has refused to take on foreign dramas and has rejected the "Warring States" project..."
"The movie "Warring States" will be announced soon!"
...
There are a lot of news outside, and there are a lot of them.
Lin Nan could see that this was all building momentum for "The Warring States Period".
This time, Lu Zheng was determined to make a big deal and pave the way for Jing Tian.
"After coming out of you, I also came to me. To be honest, I almost couldn't control myself."
Ning Hao's tone was filled with sigh.
"What price?" Lin Nan asked jokingly.
After listening to the other end of the phone, Ning Hao paused for a moment and said angrily, "Are you polite?"
"Haha, then just pretend I didn't ask."
Lin Nan estimated that the offer Lu Zheng gave Ning Hao would be about seven or eight million at most.
"If I hadn't had "The Great Robbery" in hand, I really wanted to try it out. This kind of opportunity to direct a blockbuster would be hard to encounter."
Ning Hao was still regretful over there. Lin Nan really wanted to say something, just have fun secretly, money is not that easy to get!
After a few days of fermentation, "Warring States" has become the most popular project in the circle at the beginning of the new year.
With this momentum, the starry sky has released a luxurious cast with great fanfare.
"Sun Honglei, Jing Tian, ​​Wu Zhenyu, Kim Hee Sun, Kang Wu, Jungjing Gyui..."
"The movie "Warring States" will officially start filming in early March!"
"The Warring States Period will use historical allusions as the basis to show a grand epic scene..."
Lin Nan felt that the preparation time and startup time were a little hasty.
…………
"Director Lin, the art exam has begun..."
This year's art exam was delayed until the end of February, and Yue Jun is about to set off.
"Yeah, go."
According to the previous plan, the choice of newcomers this time is quite special.
Actors are different from celebrities. It is difficult to determine the former, but it is much easier for the latter.
The essence of an agency is not to cultivate qualified actors, but to make money and commissions.
When it comes to making money, it is obviously easier for celebrities to do so.
Shanhai Media began to look for newcomers and spread it from the art exam site.
This made many candidates' thoughts instantly active.
China Film has released its latest film schedule.
"Ip Man 2" is confirmed to be released on April 29, aiming at the May Day holiday.
However, the most talked about is the literary romance film "The Moon Full of Sinian", starring Zhang Xueyou and Tang Wei.
Tang Wei, who had been banned for two years because of "Lust and Caution", returned to the big screen again.
The mainland film and television industry is happy to watch the fun.
Tang Wei settled in Hong Kong through the talent program, and the movie was released in the mainland in the form of imported films. The "ban order" of radio and television has completely become a piece of waste paper, and the ban is lifted by default...
Lin Nan suddenly remembered that when he was filming "The Thieves" three months ago, Tian Yu even sent him a wedding invitation, and finally he asked someone to bring gifts.
"Good luck makes people..."
...
Good news also came from Xue Xiaolu, "Thirty-Three Days of Love Break" completed post-production.
Lin Nan sent someone to Beijing Electric Power and got the finished product back.
"Is this done again?"
Lu Yang was a little depressed. He originally thought that the second one would be completed.
Just in the color of the sky, a group of people talked about "Thirty-Three Days of Love Break".
Zhu Yawen's male protagonist with an unknown "orientation" is portrayed very well.
"This movie is not bad. As expected, art comes from life. Bao Jingjing's script is also wonderful, and Director Xue's filming is delicate enough..."
Several people think that this movie is a fine product, and it is the kind with a rare style.
February is about to end, and the movies released at the beginning of the month are also time to be released.
"Su Qi'er", which was unanimously criticized by Lin Nan and others, was indeed extremely painful.
With a cost of 130 million, the final box office was only 48 million.
Director Yuan Heping has been ridiculed a lot.
Many netizens suggested that he should continue to be a martial arts coach. Not every martial arts commander has the ability to transform.
The box office of that movie "Love in the City" really reached 100 million.
At the same time, Huang Xiaoming's scandal became more and more serious, but he just didn't admit it, even if there were photos...
"I feel like Brother Cheng Long's movie is a bit sluggish?"
Lin Nan looked at the data of "The Soldiers" and it was really not very good.
He alone has a pay of tens of millions of dollars. If he only has a box office of more than one billion, he would probably be a bit unlucky as an investor.
The market is bigger and there are more choices. Chenglong's movies are still the old routines...
On the day when "Thirty-Three Days of Love Break" was sent to the Film Bureau, "Lost in the Road" obtained a public screening license.
Light began to prepare promotional plans for the movie.
The only special effect of "The Thieves" was successfully completed, and Lin Nan began to work hard to speed up the finishing work.
In the middle, Ying Huang also sent an invitation to start the filming of "New Shaolin Temple", but Lin Nan also rejected it.
Finally, on the last day of February, "The Thieves" and "The Embroidered Spring Sword" completed the post-production at the same time and were submitted for review as soon as possible.
"I can finally have a good rest. Director Lin, I am not going to take on work during this period of publicity."
"Um."
Lin Nan nodded in agreement with Lu Yang's arrangement and looked at Guo Fan again.
"Where are you?"
"I'm going to go back to school and take a look at the majors of directors and photography."
Lin Nan was not surprised that Guo Fan could say this. This is his personality.
If these two people are willing to take on the role, there should be many projects coming to visit during this period.
But one needs to rest and the other needs to study, they all have clear ideas and plans, which are different from those who make quick money outside.
"Then let's break up. I was hoping that you would do more business for the company to generate income, haha..."
Lin Nan shook her head and joked.
"The four films of Lin Nan Film have been completed."
"Looking forward to the release of "Robber League". This is the latest commercial blockbuster directed by Lin since "Martian Rescue".
...
Entering March.
Zhang Yimou led the crew of "Hawthorn Tree" and started the filming in a low-key manner.
"The Orphan of Zhao" was very popular, for fear that everyone would not know that Director Chen was going to start construction.
"The Future Police" and "The Box of Yue Guang" are both movies to be released in March, and the publicity efforts have been fully promoted.
However, something went wrong with "Ip Man 2".
Given that the first part was very good, Yang Shoucheng decided to advance the publicity until March.
Everyone in the crew has no problem, except Donnie Yen.
The propaganda activity that was originally agreed upon was released by the latter several times in a row, all because he received the notice temporarily.
Although he had a good attitude afterwards, he had made all kinds of compensation and found reasons, but this behavior still did not stop, which was very bad.
"If I hadn't been afraid of something bad about the movie before it was released, I would have taught him a lesson..."
Lin Nan could hear that Yang Shoucheng was trying his best to restrain himself and not swear words.
Recalling the "humility" attitude when Donnie Yen was begging for this role, then comparing it to see how arrogant his character is exposed at this moment...
"When the movie comes on, Mr. Yang will do whatever he wants."
Lin Nan said without any emotion that such people really need to be beaten.
...
Since the establishment of Shanhai Media, artists in the circle have come to inquire about the news from time to time.
Lin Nan took the time today and looked at the list.
How to say it? If you are doing well, you won’t consider changing jobs easily. This list is full of third-tier cities with little potential.
"It's a useless man. It's better to raise new people than to cultivate these people."
Lin Nan also followed the news about the art exam.
This year, there are several child stars with familiar faces, Zhang Yishan and Yang Zi...
In order to be able to film "Hawthorn Tree", Zhou Dongyu voluntarily gave up this year's college entrance examination, and the art exam must have given up.
However, this choice is definitely correct. You will have art exams every year, but you will not have the chance to act in Zhang Yimou's movies every time.
In other words, being the heroine of Zhang Yimou's movie almost means that next year's art exam will be "recommended".
Lin Nan felt that if he found an amateur, he should have such treatment.
...
A long time ago, Lin Nan suggested that Zhu Yawen open a studio.
It has been several years since this matter was settled now.
As classmates and friends, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went to support the show together.
"I have to call you Boss Zhu in the future."
Liu Yifei joked as soon as she met.
"I dare not, you have to talk to Director Lin often, and I will give you two more meals in the future, haha..."
"Then you're better hungry." Liu Yifei joked.
"Although it's hanging here with Wang Jinghua?"
Zhu Yawen nodded, "It's hanging here."
Lin Nan understood what the other party meant, that friends were friends and did not want to get involved in interest relations.
Think about Wang Jinghua's company, now it is still in a dilemma, and there is no such momentum in the past.
The big-name artist in her hand either ran away or took on a drama for a year or two, and her voice had long been gone in the circle.
There will be more and more studios for first-line artists, and pure agency companies will not be able to survive in the future...
…………
"Thank you for your care over the years, I wish the company will get better and better in the future..."
On the day when Yang Mi expired, she returned to Rong Xinda. She understood the principle of getting together and parting well.
"I wish you to go further, too.
Having said that, everyone outside is laughing at Rong Xinda, and those who leave will develop well, just like Zhou Xun and the others..."
Li Xiaowan looked at Yang Mi and said mockingly that she signed Yang Mi back at the beginning.
The latter didn't know how to answer this sentence, but it seemed that it was indeed the case.
"Mr. Li, the company will get better and better."
Li Xiaowan looked directly at Yang Mi, "Can you tell me where is the next one?"
Yang Mi hesitated for a moment and did not hide it from it.
"I signed Shanhai Media."
Li Xiaowan woke up from a dream and was a little lost, "No wonder you didn't renew your contract. It's indeed a good place..."
...
Another exciting news in the entertainment industry has spread.
Yang Mi, one of the four little actresses, signed a contract with Shanhai Media and became the first artist to sign since the company was established.
"While people go to a high place, although it is a newly established brokerage company, it is Lin Nan Film and Television..."
"Yang Mi has chosen the right company this time!"
...
Cai Yinong felt very uncomfortable when he looked at the Weibo posts posted by Shanhai Media and Yang Mi on the Internet.
Since the endorsement of the game, she has broken up with Yang Mi.
Now I am even more angry when I see the other party signing Lin Nan’s agency.
She had contacted Yang Mi and tried to dig even more, so she knew each other.
In Cai Yinong's eyes, Yang Mi is a person who will never let go once she seizes the opportunity.
Now that the latter has gone to Shanhai Media, there is a high probability that he will not be short of resources in the future. Thinking about Liu Shishi from his company, Cai Yinong has another headache...
Zhang Yi has been busy filming the promotional video of "Let the Bullets Fly" these two days.
I finally had a break today, but I was called back to the company again.
"Director Lin, what's wrong with asking me to come back?"
Lin Nan had thought before that after establishing a brokerage company, he would transfer Zhang Yi's contract to the brokerage company.
But Zhang Yi was the first artist he signed after all, and Lin Nan felt it was necessary to respect the other party's opinions.
"Now the agency has been established. Should you transfer your contract so that they can arrange it in a unified manner in the future?"
When Zhang Yi heard this, he shook his head.
"Director Lin, I am your first soldier, a veteran who has been having a long appointment for ten years.
I'm better staying at Lin Nan Pictures, I'm used to it, haha..."
Lin Nan was very curious about how Zhang Yi did it, with a smile that was both loyal and a touch of smoothness!
"I really don't want to?"
"What you said is not good now..."
Zhang Yi didn't go to Shanhai Media if he bit him to death, and he looked like he would die at Lin Nan Film.
One is a direct company and the other is a subsidiary. He can tell whether it is good or bad. There are two directors here.
Lin Nan couldn't tell Zhang Yi's thoughts. He looked honest and was actually a personal talent.
"Okay, you are the first and last one. The contract was so cruel..."
Lin Nan complained, and finally left Zhang Yi's contract relationship with Lin Nan Film.
...
Tom is not inefficient, and the schedule for "Super Body" has been set.
"I've talked to the Lions Gate, and Paul suggested choosing the time on July 1st..."
Lin Nan had no objection to this time, it happened to be the summer vacation.
He had plans before, and then he used some favors to ask Leonardo and Matt Damon to help promote it. He stood on the platform. I believe these two people will give him such face.
"Then it's July 1st, this matter is very important." Lin Nan emphasized again.
"I understand, what's going on with Crystal! I will definitely keep an eye on it..."
...
After finishing the call with Tom, Lin Nan took out the script of "Painted Skin 2".
The first one was filmed in the first half of 2007, and it is almost three years away.
Calculate the time, I have to film the sequel this year, and it is not good to delay it for too long.
Lin Nan thought of Wu Ershan. This guy ran alone and recommended him once before, which was really "bold".
To be honest, Lin Nan doesn’t really want to do it by himself for "Painted Skin 2", and she no longer has the freshness of filming the first one.
"Let's talk about it later."
Although hesitated for a moment, Lin Nan still asked someone to take the script of "Painted Skin 2" for review and file it first.
The efficiency of starlight is very high.
"Warring States Period" held a large-scale opening press conference in the capital.
There were a large number of media reporters, film and television stars, and filmmakers present.
Lin Nan is also among the invited guests.
But he didn't go, just sent a text message.
Because when you go, you will inevitably be asked by the media about the director’s invitation, and it is easy to get rid of the crowd.
Most importantly, he really couldn't look at the movie "The Warring States Period".
...
On the other hand, the movie "The Box of Yueguang" was released.
A large number of viewers were once again brought into the theater by "feelings".
It is impossible to tell whether this movie is good or bad, there are many scoldings and praises.
But it is undeniable that its box office is indeed growing, exceeding 60 million in four days, and it is almost no problem to exceed 100 million.
Guo Wan, this guy, found something for Lin Nan quietly.
"When he first collaborated on "Source Code", he left my phone number. Director Yue was not here, so he could only ask me to ask. If Director Lin felt it was inappropriate, I would like to push it?"
After thinking for a while, Lin Nan replied: "Let him come to the company by himself."
"Okay, then I'll let him come over to see you by himself."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan felt speechless. Each one was in this way.
Yang Mi filmed "Embroidered Spring Sword" and asked Yue Jun; Lei Jiayin filmed "Source Code" and asked Guo Fan to inquire.
"I don't go through the formal channels, right? I want to see who is next?"
The next morning, Lin Nan met Lei Jiayin at the company.
Not to mention, this guy is a bit similar to Zhang Yi in some aspects. He looks honest and may be more sensible.
"Director Lin."
Seeing Lin Nan, Lei Jiayin hurriedly got up and said hello.
Thinking about the first time I met Lei Jiayin, it was when Hu Ge took Lin Nan to wander around the theater.
"Don't tell me, your contract has just expired recently?"
"Director Lin was joking. I expired at that time before the New Year. I took a break for a while. Don't you want to join the company? Haha..."
By the way, this honest smile looks very similar to Zhang Yi, but it is actually a disguise and very deceptive!
Lin Nan looked at Lei Jiayin and shook his head.
The other party's smile disappeared in an instant, as if he had lost his parents.
"Lin, Director Lin, do you see if I can do it? I'll give up if you give up..."
Lin Nan knew that the other party would have misunderstood.
"I'm not saying you can't do it, I shook my head and mean that you can only follow the path of an actor and cannot become a star..."
"Why?" Lei Jiayin asked subconsciously.
Lin Nan almost laughed. Do you have any idea of ​​what you look like? "Celebrities can make a living by relying on their faces..."
Now Lei Jia understood in seconds, "Then I must have to make a living by acting..."
Before he finished speaking, Lei Jiayin suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his voice trembled slightly, "What do you mean is that you can sign me?"
"Can."
Lin Nan nodded, this is worth signing.
"Hahaha, then, when can I sign it?"
"So urgent?"
"No, I'm idle anyway, so I'm just going to be idle, so I'm going to settle down and feel at ease."
Well, he is worthy of being a Northeastern man, quick.
Lin Nan sent someone to send Shanhai Media’s contract in.
"Look carefully, don't say you're cheating on me then."
"That won't, that won't."
He said no, but his eyes were fixed on the contract, and he looked at the side without falling.
"Director Lin, I heard that Zhang Yi..."
"Don't hear it, this is the only one." Lin Nan was speechless.
...
Lei Jiayin chose a five-year contract and signed the contract with a smile.
Lin Nan thought that this guy could be a partner with Zhang Yi. He looked honest, but in fact he was no less sensible than anyone else.
Something happened. There was only one chapter today, and there were still many words missing. I will add it later.
Chapter completed!
