That year Huayu

"Heard of the Wind" produced by Meiya was previously strongly scheduled to be released in early August, not without reason.

This spy film with an investment of over 100 million has a very strong creative cast.

Its production team, director, and screenwriter are all from "Infernal Affairs".

Even the cast consists of several movie kings and queens such as Tony Leung Chaowei and Zhou Xun.

It stands to reason that with such a powerful configuration, there is indeed reason to not be afraid of any opponent. However, I met Lin Nan.

The first domestic blockbuster to compete head-on with "The Gunslinger" appeared. The media paid great attention to it, but the result was a bit pity.

"Influenced by "The Genius", "Hearing the Wind", directed by director Mak Zhao-fai and starring Tony Leung Chaowei and Zhou Xun, did not do well at the box office on the first day, far below expectations, with a revenue of 16.5 million."

"The second week of "The Gunslinger" has ended. It has grossed 442 million this week, and the total box office has reached 963 million!"

"Domestic movie box office records have been set again. Director Lin Nan has surpassed his own record..."

"According to the gambling agreement between Director Lin Nan and the theater chain, the account sharing ratio has been changed to 44.5%, which is only 237 million box office away from 46%."

"The first domestically produced movie with a box office of over 1 billion is about to be born."

"The first billion-dollar box office director, the first billion-dollar box office heroine, the first billion dollar box office... is about to be born!"

…

Livestock!

All the film companies in the industry are now criticizing "The Genius" and Lin Nan. They are really shocked.

The box office record of "Thieves" of 901 million was once again broken by Lin Nan himself.

And I don’t know what the new record is yet. But it is certain that it will definitely exceed 1 billion!

All the main actors of "The Genius" are waiting eagerly.

Just one more day and everyone will have an extra title.

Net worth, remuneration, endorsements, announcements...

Your career and business value will take a big step forward!

The first billion-dollar Chinese-language film will definitely be written into film history!

All the young actors born in the 1980s and 1985 are envious.

It turns out that "Genius Gunner" was the biggest cake in the industry last year. It's a pity that outsiders can't get involved.

"If I had known earlier, I would have looked for Lin Nan last year and stuffed you in. If you can't play the heroine, you can play a supporting role."

Lu Zheng said with envy.

Jing Tian looked away from the web page and looked at Lu Zheng, smiling brightly:

"Uncle Lu, there are so many good things. "Pacific Rim" at the beginning of the year has already been of great help to me. Let's talk about it when I have the opportunity..."

"Yes, we'll talk about it later. Director Lin will definitely make commercial films." Lu Zheng nodded.

…………

"Jiajia, do you think I made the wrong choice?"

Yang Mi looked at Zeng Jia in confusion.

How to answer this question?

The supporting actress in a movie with a box office of 1 billion seems to be a huge resource indeed.

At the very least, "Love in Seattle" will definitely not have a box office of 1 billion, nor will it enter film history or become a milestone.

"It's too late to say this now..."

…

Unlike many people in the industry who were amazed and envious, the atmosphere here in Tang Dynasty was very wrong.

"First appearance on the big screen, 1 billion box office... From this starting point, Reba can go very far."

"Yifei, she is going to become the first heroine with a box office of 1 billion!"

Hu Ge felt this, while Liu Shishi and Nazha on the side looked a little dazed.

…

Lu Yang has a lazy temperament and cuts slowly in post-production. Some shots even require rendering, which is a bit extravagant.

Guo Fan first came to Tiangong Color and said hello.

When Lu Yang heard that Guo Fan was going to start a new movie, he also went to the floors of Lin Nan Pictures to join in the fun.

"You have really good taste." Lin Nan tapped her finger on the table and said.

"How do you say this, Director Lin?"

Guo Fan and Lu Yang were both a little curious.

"I registered this script in Hollywood and almost sold it before, but we couldn't agree on a price, so I took it back and gave you a choice."

Lin Nan flipped through the script on the table. Guo Fan had already written on it and made a lot of notes.

"We all know that science fiction movies can be divided into soft science fiction and hard science fiction. Which one is more difficult for a director?" Lin Nan suddenly asked.

Lu Yang shook his head subconsciously. Science fiction movies were not within his scope.

"I don't think there is an answer. Soft science fiction tests the director's grasp of characters, emotions, and plot. Setting is very important, and story is king;

Hard science fiction, on the other hand, requires the director's overall planning capabilities and the support of film industrialization. The visual effects are more important, but the plot is simpler. "

Guo Fan gave his own answer. He knows his strengths and weaknesses.

He has some shortcomings in his ability as a director. After all, he became a monk halfway, so he chose soft science fiction, hoping to make up for his shortcomings through practice.

"These represent two different styles of directors. You'd better combine the two."

Lin Nan confirmed Guo Fan's statement and gave him suggestions. He has photographed both of these and has a deep understanding of them.

Guo Ban nodded, "That's why I chose this science fiction romance film, "Time Traveler"."

"Well, the 'Butterfly Effect' is the most classic material in soft science fiction. What about the casting?"

"Director Lin didn't specify it?" Guo Fan asked with a smile.

"Well, let's see which supporting role is suitable for Reba and take her with her. She can only start as a supporting role at the moment."

Lin Nan thought for a while and named Reba.

"Only this one?"

"Yes. The remaining actors will have open auditions or invitation-only auditions. It's up to you."

"Okay, then I'll go back and plan. I'll let them take the script for review first..."

…………

It ends on the 8th, and the entire film industry has turned its attention to "The Genius Gunman".

"...Yesterday's box office was 48.4 million. After 15 days of release, "The Genius" has a total box office of 1.0114 billion..."

Boiling.

All major Internet media and official media are reporting this news.

The film industry seems to have made an appointment, with private and state-owned enterprises forwarding and congratulating them one after another.

Whether it is true or false, it cannot be denied that this is indeed a major event in the industry.

The actors and artists are even more crazy, posting on Weibo one by one, and the phone calls and text messages from Aitlin Nan, Liu Yifei and others have not stopped.

The Film Bureau even issued a special press release:

"Congratulations to "The Gunslinger" for breaking the 1 billion box office mark;

Congratulations to the domestic film industry for officially entering the era of 1 billion box office! "

Then came the personal honors.

Movie channels took the lead, and official media and online media swarmed in.

"Congratulations to Director Lin Nan for becoming the first director of the 1 billion box office club! Bringing domestic films into the 1 billion box office era."

"Congratulations to Liu Yifei for becoming the first heroine and producer of a domestic film with a box office of over 1 billion."

Zhu Yawen, Shu Chang, and Luo Jin were all on the list.

Liang Jiahui, Zhou Xun, and Reba were also named one after another.

…………

Liu Yifei's luxury brands are more proactive than her. They immediately issued announcements to congratulate their spokesperson for becoming a heroine with a box office of 1 billion.

"Announcements, announcements, announcements, every time a movie comes out, I have to face these..."

Miss Liu was sitting at the table in her pajamas, puffing her cheeks and complaining.

I was woken up by my assistant's phone call early in the morning. I was furious at the moment, and I didn't even touch the breakfast in front of me.

Lin Nan lowered his head and ate. At this moment, Liu Yifei could only watch from a distance and couldn't talk to her because...it was easy to explode!

The phone buzzed. Lin Nan picked up the phone and walked outside, just in time to meet Liu Xiaoli who had just returned from a walk, still holding a package.

Sitting in the yard, he could vaguely hear the old mother's voice lecturing his daughter, "Eat quickly, you are so old..."

Lin Nan answered the phone.

"Director Lin, congratulations on the movie breaking 1 billion. You are now the only major director in China with a box office of 1 billion, um, and Yifei..."

Andy Lau laughed heartily and talked about the National Day movie "Passengers", hoping that this movie would be like "The Genius".

Lin Nan knew his true purpose of coming.

"Brother Hua, you should know that I can take or take the Golden Horse Award. After all, I have awards from the three major European film festivals."

Liu Dehua on the other side of the phone paused and then said:

"Of course I know that if Director Lin comes to the Golden Horse, he will definitely support him.

But even if Director Lin doesn't care about awards, what about other people around him, such as Yifei and Zhu Yawen?

If a Chinese-language film that has a box office of over 1 billion and sold high-priced copyrights in Europe and the United States does not win awards, will the reputation of the Golden Horse be lost? "

What Liu Dehua said was very naked and realistic.

As has been said in the past two days, if Lin Nan goes to Baihua, he is basically destined to go through the motions to receive the award.

But these words sound nice, but who knows whether there will be that 1% accident.

"I'll ask Yifei and I'll reply to Brother Hua tomorrow."

"okay."

…

When he walked into the living room again, he saw that Liu Yifei had finished breakfast.

She was sitting on the sofa in her pajamas, flipping through a hardcover picture album.

"Is it true that you are being plundered, looking for you every year?"

Lin Nan said speechlessly and sat next to Miss Liu.

"You can't say that, it's charity. I don't care what others do, as long as I do my best."

Liu Yifei raised her head and glanced at Lin Nan, smiling sweetly and sincerely.

This is true, it is Liu Yifei’s style. In 2008, while Lin Nan was still lying down, she donated one million.

In such a large entertainment circle, only a few people donated this amount. If it weren't for Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's donation, a designated group of people would be offended.

"Okay, as long as you're happy.

By the way, have you decided where to go? I'm going to reply to Brother Hua. "

Hearing this, Liu Yifei raised her head, her eyes shining, "Golden horse, right?"

"Because it contains high gold content?"

"Um."

Liu Yifei was really rude, smiling and nodding vigorously.

"Okay, then the golden horse."

When she said this, Lin Nan looked into Liu Yifei's eyes, her eyes filled with anticipation and desire for the award.

Lin Nan had no objections to going to the Golden Horse. Firstly, it’s for Liu Yifei, and secondly, it’s to return the favor.

The original chairman of the Venice jury was Li An. It was he who invited Lin Nan to the Venice Film Festival twice and won the Golden Lion Award.

The Golden Lion Award is considered a favor...

"Well, I just want to give it a try. Maybe I can win the award! My mother even won the Best Supporting Actress in Cannes..."

When it came to this topic, Liu Yifei became a little depressed, but she became happy again in an instant.

After all, it was my own mother who won the award, and she did not cheapen actresses in other films.

…

Since so many people suggested this movie, I wrote it up.
