Chapter 309 Spring Festival, 1942
Author: Dreaming Wood
Lin Nan ignored one thing.
Yang Mi and Liu Yifei are different, especially in terms of film resources.
Miss Liu’s resources are the best among actresses of the same age in the circle, and there are many envious people.
There are also a large number of actresses who hope to repeat Liu Yifei's path, but the resources are not easy to find.
Now that Yang Mi encounters a movie called "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" with an investment of over 100 million yuan, it is impossible for Yang Mi to be moved.
Moreover, not all actresses can have the mentality of Liu Yifei. Lin Nan said that this was a bad movie, so she decisively refused.
Sometimes, for young actresses, whether a bad movie is a secondary consideration. Promoting a status and browsing their resumes are the most important things!
Lin Nan thought for a while and looked at Zeng Jia.
"I'm sure I'm thinking about it. Want to take on this movie?"
"Well, Director Lin, we have already thought about it." Zeng Jia nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, since I have made a decision, I won't say anything more. If you have any questions, please contact Director Yue..."
Seeing Lin Nan nodding in agreement, Zeng Jia immediately relaxed.
"Thank you, Director Lin, I will finalize it with you as soon as possible."
…………
As New Year's Eve is getting closer and closer, the entertainment industry is becoming more and more lively.
Celebrities and artists are rushing to appear on the Spring Festival Gala, and the press releases are one after another.
Lin Nan specially found someone to get a few tickets with good locations, thinking that he could take Lao Lin in and take a look...
"What are you looking at? What's there to look at?
I can sleep when I see sleepy in the house, and when I see sleepy, I can sleep when I see sleepy?"
This kind of aura that made Lin Nan feel relieved.
"I'm going to say it, why are you changing your mind again?"
"I'm fine, there are many people who have come to see me recently, so I'm too lazy to go find you."
After hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't refute it. This was indeed the character of Lao Lintou.
"Or those people?"
"Yes, those who don't know thought I was a retired worker from a film factory, and they only gave the most things..."
Lin Nan knew that my father was talking about Xiying. In recent years, it has been like this almost every year, and it is hard to refuse.
He really couldn't persuade him, so Lin Nan didn't force him anymore.
I told him to let the other party take care of his health for a long time, but in the end I was disgusted with long-term words, which made me speechless.
Lao Lintou suddenly changed his mind and stopped coming, and a few tickets were wasted.
Lin Nan had no idea of going to the Spring Festival Gala, so it was even more impossible for Liu Yifei to join in the fun.
…………
Don't think that New Year's Eve is coming soon.
But Liu Yifei should sleep in as she should, and she will sleep as she should.
Early in the morning, Lin Nan talked with Zhang Yi and several others on the phone in the yard.
The crew of "Pacific Rim" has to celebrate New Year's Eve in Hollywood this year.
Lin Nan asked Tom to take Zhang Yi and others to go to the party and cocktail party during the awards ceremony season.
"We went to the public relations party for the two movies, "Social Network" and "The King's Speech", which is much more professional than those in the domestic premiere..."
Zhang Yi looked like a person who had never seen the world before, and kept talking.
But one thing is funny. His foreign language level is almost zero. Many times, Jing Tian acted as a translator...
What Lin Nan did not expect was that the filming progress of "Pacific Rim" was not only not lost, but also vaguely advanced.
I can only say that during the first half of the shooting, the domestic team worked together, which was really amazing!
"So, it will be almost done in ten days?"
"Yes, the Warner team estimates that the filming can be completed around February 15th, and we can still rush back to have Lantern Festival, haha."
"When I come back, I will welcome you. By the way, I will ask them a happy new year."
"No problem, Director Lin."
"Pacific Rim" is a large-scale co-production film released worldwide, and to some extent it is more important than the previous "Inception". Lin Nan has to pay attention to it from time to time...
After talking to Zhang Yi, Lin Nan also read the news online specifically, and it was indeed reported.
"Overseas Information, Pacific Rim will be officially completed during the Spring Festival."
"The co-production blockbuster "Pacific Rim" with an investment of 160 million US dollars is likely to be released in the second half of the year or the end of the year!"
…………
It was almost noon, and Liu Yifei finally packed up.
Today is better. The upper body is a light-colored down jacket and the lower body is jeans and short boots, but the face is still very conspicuous.
"I've been waiting for the whole morning, and I promised to be 9 o'clock?"
Lin Nan said in a slight joking tone.
Liu Yifei smiled and said with a scoundrel:
"I was confused when I slept, so I forgot, but it won't affect our shopping."
As he spoke, Liu Yifei pulled Lin Nan and walked towards the garage...
The entertainment journalists caught someone today.
Other celebrities are busy with announcements, either this New Year’s Eve party or the performance recording.
Only Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are different.
One is a big director and the other is a top actress. She just wanders around, eats, drinks, goes shopping and has a great time!
…………
Yang Mi is very happy at this moment because the company has agreed to her take on the "Legend of Hongmen Banquet".
"Didn't you say when to sign the contract?"
"You can sign after the Spring Festival."
Zeng Jia replied. This is the reply she just received, after all, today is New Year's Eve.
After hearing this affirmative reply, Yang Mi felt relieved.
She believes that this "Legend of Hongmen Banquet" will definitely take her career to a higher level.
However, when Yang Mi felt a little uncomfortable when she remembered the news about "Pacific Rim" in the media. It was a movie worth 160 million US dollars...
...
Feng Xiaogang rarely showed off his appearance on Weibo.
"This year, I have had a box office of 1.1 billion yuan in two movies. I'm a little tired. Next, I'm going to lie on the credit book and have a good sleep. See you next year!"
A large number of actors and artists in the industry have liked and left comments, all of which are nice words.
Many netizens’ comments are interesting.
"Director Jiang Wen can only sleep 70% full, and Director Lin Nan is afraid he has to sleep a few hours!"
The media that had good news immediately revealed the results of Lin Nan Film’s four movies a year.
"The Thieves" is the director and screenwriter, "The Embroidered Spring Sword" and "Lost in the Road" are the screenwriter and producers, and "Thirty-Three Days" are the producers.
The box office of the four movies combined, the domestic results alone reached 1.5 billion!
If you include the overseas achievements of "The Thieves", good guy, it's nearly 2 billion!
No one talked about this before, but now it was reported and the circle became restless in an instant.
When Lin Nan drove Liu Yifei back, the phone rang without stopping.
Miss Liu sat in the passenger seat and picked up one by one.
"Why are you joining in the fun? He is driving."
Before Zhu Yawen could make fun of her, Liu Yifei was scolded back with one sentence.
"I'm here to congratulate you. Last year, the total box office of domestic movies was only about 10 billion, and he did one-seventh of the time alone..."
After wishing each other a happy New Year with Zhu Yawen, Miss Liu hung up.
She was still very happy, after all, today's phone calls were all here to compliment Lin Nan.
…………
The Spring Festival Gala will be impossible to watch in two years.
Zhao Bonshan could no longer hold on and took a group of apprentices to act in "You, the Deskmate", completely losing the depth of his previous sketches.
...
I woke up one night and it was the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Lin Nan said that Feng Xiaogang’s Weibo yesterday could not have no following.
This guy posted a new Weibo post in the middle of the night.
"Last year, due to box office reasons, everyone said that "The Great Earthquake" was a commercial film under the name of a disaster film, and many of their peers also had great opinions.
I thought for a long time and decided to make a truly thought-provoking 'movie' in the new year. This time I will not introduce other investors..."
Many people in the industry have followed Feng Xiaogang's Weibo, but they can't guess what movie it is for a while.
Lin Nan had some vague guesses...
Liu Yifei got up very early today because she was going to see a movie.
Wearing a knitted hat on my head, a scarf around me, and a mask. I really can’t tell who it is in a simple casual outfit. I only have temperament left, so I can’t hide it!
"Oh, I said to me, look at you."
As Liu Yifei spoke, she turned back and took Lin Nan a black mask.
"Okay, I'm a director and I don't appear in the camera often..."
"No, ordinary people can't recognize you, the media can find you at a glance."
Helplessly, Lin Nan accepted Liu Yifei's dressing and added masks and hats.
...
Liu Dehua and Gong Li acted in urban romance films, to be honest, it was a bit abrupt.
Although the quality of this movie is OK, the routine is a bit old. After all, it is adapted from the Hollywood movie "100% Men" more than ten years ago.
Liu Dehua is quite "charming" when he acts like "slutty".
Lin Nan couldn't bear to look at her in a net stocking and sexy look in stockings.
Thinking of Liu Dehua whom he usually sees, Lin Nan has goosebumps.
Liu Yifei looked at it seriously and kept laughing.
"Look, even Brother Hua has more vision than you when choosing stockings..."
Lin Nan couldn't help but tease her, talking about Liu Yifei's pink stockings.
"Hmph, then you still..."
"Shh, whisper..."
…………
The two movies released on the first day of the Lunar New Year are "I Know the Heart of a Woman" and "The Fantastic Brother".
In Lin Nan's opinion, these two movies are probably difficult.
The only disadvantage of the former is that it is old-fashioned, which is also the most serious disadvantage. Moreover, the two leading actors are too expensive, so it is very difficult to get back.
The latter is purely a bad movie, with old and bad routines. The audience's evaluation is too exaggerated. After watching it for ten minutes, you can guess what the subsequent plot is...
...
Huayi announced Feng Xiaogang's new film plan.
As Lin Nan guessed.
"Director Feng wants to make a real movie, a movie that reaches the soul.
For this reason, Huayi has bought the copyright of the novel "Review of the Anthology 1942".
We will invest 200 million to support director Feng Xiaogang in completing this historical disaster blockbuster..."
1942!
Lin Nan saw Huayi's announcement that the movie has not even started to be written in the script, but it has just been launched.
All the attention of the film industry has been turned on, and many industry insiders know that this novel is indeed a rare and good book.
But if you want to make a movie, the filmmakers who have had this idea finally gave up their thoughts.
As for the reason, it's too miserable...
The word "bitter" is not enough to describe the content of this book!
Chapter completed!
