That year Huayu

"Lin Nan, you're off to a good start. Of the four movies, the first one is a good result."

Lin Nan was embarrassed to point out Han Sanping, as his words sounded sour.

"With size restrictions, no matter how good it is, how much better can it be?"

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Han Sanping felt like he was choked.

"Haha, if you are too modest, you will look hypocritical..."

It's a bit of an unfounded disaster. It was obviously you who called to tell me about this. Lin Nan was speechless.

Han Sanping made this call to congratulate him, but he just became sour while chatting.

However, I still have some moral integrity, and I didn’t say that I would get China Film for such a project in the future.

The popularity of "On the Road" has finally risen, and the box office on the second day was fixed at 9 million.

This is already among the best among the films.

Because although there are not many blockbuster movies in June, there are quite a few.

Jackie Chan's Hollywood movie "Kung Fu Dream" was not adapted to the domestic climate.

Xue Xiaolu's "Ocean Paradise", even with Jet Li, still only had a few hundred thousand on the first day.

"Battle of Shama Town" and "The Spy" both had mediocre box office numbers, with their box office numbers reaching 3 to 5 million in the first two days.

…

Among so many movies, only Disney's animated movie "Toy Story 3" looks okay, a little better than "The Lost Road".

Xu Zheng has not given many media interviews in the past two days. He is a smart man and knows how to keep a low profile first.

If we were to let other new directors in, I'm afraid they would have already drifted away by now.

"It's making me very stressed right now!"

Lin Nan Pictures' second movie "Xiu Chun Knife" will be released on August 1.

Lu Yang was very stressed right now.

No one expected that the 5-million-dollar film "The Journey" would perform so well at the box office.

""Xiu Chun Knife" and "A Man on the Road" are not on the same track and cannot be compared like this."

Lin Nan comforted.

Before, he thought that Xu Zheng could sprint into the 100-million-yuan director club, but now that he thought about it, it was actually not that easy.

Lin Nan wasn't ready to keep staring at what happened next in "People on the Road".

"Super Body" will be released in about ten days, so he has to spend some energy on this matter.

…………

Liu Yifei started to get busy.

Her solo posters have appeared in major theaters, and they are all in prominent positions.

Over in Hollywood, Lionsgate's promotion has also begun.

Lin Nan started looking for someone.

"Lin, is it still nighttime over there?"

There was not only Leonardo's voice on the phone, but also the chuckles of many women.

Someone asked softly: "Is it the Golden Lion director from Crystal Pictures?"

Xiao Lizi hummed.

Lin Nan was a little speechless. Is this guy having a party in broad daylight?

"Leon, I need you to do a little favor."

"whats the matter?"

"Crystal's "Super Body" is about to be released. I hope you can help me promote it."

As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, he agreed.

"Well, of course."

"I'll ask Tom to find you and record a short video of a few minutes, right?"

Lin Nan said aggressively.

"Haha, then you have to prepare a script for me, or it should be no weaker than "Hunting".

That guy Matt, ever since he won the Best Actor Award, he has been showing off in front of me a lot..."

This requirement is in line with Leonardo's style.

"In this case, one movie promotion is not enough." Lin Nan joked.

"You can come to me next time."

"Okay, I agreed, take care of yourself..."

Before Xiao Lizi could react, Lin Nan smiled and hung up the phone.

Matt Damon is even better.

Compared with Leo, Matt is simply a good man. He is married and has children, so he is not so promiscuous.

After Lin Nan explained his intention, the other party agreed without saying a word.

"Lin, if you need to attend an event, you can come to me. You can still spare half a day."

"Matt, thank you, it doesn't have to be so troublesome."

"Yes, just remember me next time when a new movie is released, haha.

You don’t know, when I put the trophy in front of Leon’s eyes, his face looked as if I had stolen his girlfriend, haha…”

Lin Nan had nothing to say, these two were just awesome.

…

…

After making several calls in a row and arranging things in Hollywood, Lin Nan felt much more relieved.

Just leave the rest to Tom and Lionsgate.

"Super Body" is Liu Yifei's one-man show, and the publicity before the premiere will definitely need to be completed by her alone.

Liu Xiaoli and her assistant accompany Liu Yifei, appearing on programs, recording interviews, or conducting interviews on portals every day.

The publicity effect is very good.

After running for a week, Ms. Liu couldn't bear it anymore.

In the evening, when the two of them were chatting in the garden, they actually fell asleep on Lin Nan's shoulder. You can imagine how tired they were.

"Forget it, let's stop here. There will be a premiere later." Lin Nan said softly.

"Well... when I was acting... I was very careful..."

Liu Yifei smacked her lips and talked in her sleep.

Lin Nan smiled and shook his head, picked her up by the waist, and walked into the villa.

Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter who was already sleeping deeply and felt a little distressed.

Lin Nan gently placed the person in his arms on the bed and said to Liu Xiaoli:

"Auntie, the promotion is here. Let her rest for a few days. There will be a premiere later."

"This won't affect the movie, right?"

"No." Lin Nan said softly.

…………

"People on the Road" is really a dark horse.

Although there were many competitors, the box office continued to decrease after the first two days.

But after the first week, it still received a total of 45.4 million box office.

This low-budget comedy amazed all the film companies in the industry.

It seems to remind me of the original "Stone" again.

However, compared to the market at the time of "Stone", the external environment of "Journey on the Road" is much worse, with too many opponents.

Lin Nan feels that the above-mentioned efforts to combat piracy are still not enough.

He had already seen "People on the Road" online and was speechless.

…

"Painted Skin 2" has already started filming for a month.

With Wu Ershan deliberately adjusting the roles, among the main actors, Yang Mi and Zhu Yawen were the first to finish filming.

"The crew of "Painted Skin 2", Yang Mi, who plays the sparrow, and Zhu Yawen, who plays the monster hunter, have finalized their departure."

"Yang Mi has returned to Shanhai Media and will join the cast of "Gong Lock Heart Jade" in more than half a month, playing the heroine Luo Qingchuan."

…………

"Jiajia, I have never been so fulfilled, first "Xiu Chun Knife" and then "Painted Skin 2", two movies in a row..."

Yang Mi said to Zeng Jia with emotion on her face.

"Well, the company's "Unfortunately" has also been a hit recently. My decision to come to Shanhai Media was a very wise one."

Zeng Jia nodded and thought of another thing, "The premiere of "Super Body" will be held in a few days. This is a real movie with a heroine!"

When these words were spoken, Yang Mi, who was in a good mood just now, was instantly shocked.

It was released simultaneously in North America and China. She could only envy this treatment.

…………

Lin Nan has asked Yue Jun to prepare a guest list for the premiere of "Super Body".

He wanted to make this premiere a big one, so he had to maximize the publicity effect.

…

As June enters the second half of the year, there are no movies in the movie market that are particularly eye-catching at the box office.

"People on the Road" seems to be generating three to four million dollars a day, growing steadily, which is quite stable.

After the box office exceeded 50 million, Xu Zheng began to appear for interviews.

“I’m very grateful to Director Lin Nan for giving me this opportunity to take the first step on my path as a director.

In the future, I will take on both roles as an actor and director and continue on..."

To put it bluntly, even though "People on the Road" was successful, people in the film industry would not think that it was Xu Zheng's credit. The first person that everyone thought of was Lin Nan.

In the eyes of most people, more than 60 to 70% of the credit for this film's current success belongs to Lin Nan.

Xu Zheng has been in the entertainment industry for many years. He understands this truth. It is impossible for him to be completely accepted by the industry with one movie.

Maybe in the eyes of many people, he was just lucky enough to be chosen by Lin Nan...

…

At the company, Lin Nan was a little surprised to see Xu Zheng.

"Why do you have time to come here today?"

"I have some ideas these days that I want to share with Director Lin." Xu Zheng said with a smile.

Lin Nan glanced at Xu Zheng with interest, wanting to hear what he was going to say.

"Then just say it."

Xu Zheng sat on the sofa and cheered up instantly.

"Director Lin, from the time I got the script of "The Man on the Road" to the completion of filming, and now it's released.

I think it can be made into a series to continue this unique style..."

Xu Zheng was talking there.

But Lin Nan's reaction at this time was: Damn it!

He knew that Xu Zheng was talented, and now it seemed that he was indeed talented. It's a pity that he is also very ambitious, and this kind of person will not be recruited by others.

"Well, yes, you guessed it right." Lin Nan nodded and said.

Seeing Xu Zheng become quiet instantly, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Nan, his eyes shining.

"What does Director Lin mean? Does he mean that there is a series or a sequel in preparation?"

Xu Zheng asked uncertainly.

"Yes, from the beginning." Lin Nan replied seriously.

"Director Lin, look, see if I can continue..."

Lin Nan looked at the other party's impatient look and shook his head.

"I think you can digest the experience of "On the Road" first. Even I take a break after finishing a movie..."

…

…

Lin Nan tricked Xu Zheng away, promising to wait a year and a half for a sequel.

The latter hoped that Lin Nan would continue to give him this opportunity. Lin Nan did not explicitly refuse, nor did he agree immediately. He only said that there was a high probability that it would be him.

Xu Zheng was already very satisfied with this answer. In his opinion, since he is not making trouble, the original team must be the best choice.

Lin Nan sat alone in the office, feeling a little emotional.

He sincerely admires Xu Zheng. It seems that when he was filming "The Lost Road", the other person put in the effort and care, otherwise he wouldn't have considered the sequel.

From the current point of view, Xu Zheng, a wage earner, can still continue to use it!

But to be honest, with the other party’s extremely clear career plans, ambitions, and ambitions, the cooperation will not last long.
