That year Huayu

On a new day, the film industry and the media are all attracted to Hua Yi.

As a fifth-generation director, Gu Changwei is famous for his literary and realistic films at international film festivals.

Today, half a year after joining Huayi, he finally launched his first commercial film - "Little Love: Getting Better".

Wang Zhonglei personally hosted the film launch conference, and many big names and first-line actors in the industry were present.

In the guest room, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Guoli... it can be said that there are many stars gathered together, it is very lively.

As the first commercial film directed by Gu Da, the choice of the male and female protagonists has naturally attracted everyone's attention and curiosity.

When Chen He and Yang Ying walked on stage, many insiders and reporters at the scene were stunned for a moment, and then they all understood.

Hua Yi is still the same Hua Yi, and it is impossible to use the leading male or female lead in a movie directed by a big director to praise a young actor or grassroots actor who has no foothold.

No, the male and female protagonists all have backgrounds, and the cousin and boyfriend in the first row are both there.

Looking at the online news about the launch conference of "Micro Love", Lin Nan was reminded of Zhang Yimou's "box office kidnapping" theory a few days ago.

His good friend Gu Changwei refuted his point of view with practical actions.

Great directors are human beings too, and they have to keep up with commercial films, box office and money.

I just don’t know how much salary or dividends Gu Changwei can get in this movie, so that he dares to use Yang Ying as the heroine?

You know, this is a "character" that Xu Ke has publicly named in front of the media, and he will never cooperate a second time!

"Director Lin, Director Lu Yang and the entire crew are having a meeting on the third floor. Do you want to go there?"

At this time, the assistant knocked on the door and came in to ask Lin Nan.

He was about to nod, but the phone on his desk suddenly vibrated.

"Go and tell the guide that they are having their meeting. I'll come over later if I can."

"Okay, Director Lin."

After the assistant went out, Lin Nan answered the phone.

"Tom, I've only been back for two days and you called again. What's the matter?"

"Dear boss, I don't want to disturb you, but have you forgotten something?"

"What's up?"

"Have you thought about "The Price of Salt"? Didn't you say before that you wanted Crystal to try it?

But "Manchester by the Sea" has been completed, and you still haven't given me a reply. Their quotation has increased again and they are urging me. "

Speaking of this matter, Lin Nan really had a headache.

Once "The Price of Salt" is produced, it will be an award-winning film with a special theme, but it will only be suitable for Europe and the United States.

The operating costs of award-winning films are not low. Considering the current size of Crystal Pictures, supporting the operation of two award-winning films at the same time is quite stressful.

And once the operation fails, the loss will be huge.

These are just one aspect. The most important thing is that this is a lesbian-themed award-winning film.

When choosing actors for an award-winning film with this kind of theme, you must find a truly top-level actress as the leading actor.

But Liu Yifei is obviously still young, and Lin Nan is afraid of what might happen...

"If my wife is involved in a movie, or she has some psychological problem...even if it's a one in ten thousand chance, what's the difference between that and letting me die directly?"

"Lin, what are you talking about? What's dead?"

Lin Nan came to his senses, frowning and relaxing for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

“What’s their new quote?”

"$3.2 million, thanks to Matthew's "Dallas Buyers Club" for winning the award."

Lin Nan remembered that when Tom bought the copyright, he only spent US$450,000.

"Sell it."

Tom was obviously taken aback by Lin Nan's sudden decisiveness, "Really?"

"Sell."

"Okay, I'll get back to them tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone from Tom, Lin Nan stood up and left the office.

In the large conference room on the third floor, almost all the main creators of the "Xiu Chun Dao 2" crew are here.

On the other side is the audition venue for "A Thousand Bones of Flowers". There are many industry agents and third- and fourth-tier actors waiting outside.

When these people saw Lin Nan's figure, they immediately said hello, but he nodded and ignored them.

Entering the conference room, Lu Yang was talking about the shooting plan.

The logistics filming team has already set off for Hengdian this morning, and the crew will start filming the day after tomorrow.

"We can't attend the celebration party for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom."

After some chatting, Lu Yang complained, and Shu Chang, Zhang Yi, and Lei Jiayin all nodded, looking regretful.

The other actors just smiled and had nothing to do with them and couldn't get involved.

"Keep the opening ceremony simple, I won't go there, and the same goes for the producer Yifei. If you have anything, just call." Lin Nan said with a smile.

"Then I have to prepare in advance. If I overspend, I will have a reason to give Yifei when I call. Haha..."

Lu Yang said mockingly.

He is self-aware, and he is quite poor in film cost control.

Half an hour later, Lin Nan asked Shu Chang to have a meal with Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei in front of Hengdian, and then he left the conference room.

To the outside world, both Yang Zai and Huang Shengyi worked hard to intercede for Wen Zhang online.

Because the owner of Juli Pictures invested in a Sino-Korean co-production "I Love You Most on the Road", starring Wen Zhang and Huang Shengyi.

But as luck would have it, the "See You on Monday" incident officially broke out on the day the movie was released on March 28.

So much so that this movie was disliked and boycotted by 99% of the audience and fans.

The co-production, which invested nearly 100 million yuan, was released for 7 days, with a total box office of 19 million yuan, and the daily box office dropped to 80,000 yuan. Juli Pictures suffered another heavy loss.

Sometimes I have to admit that Yang Zai really has Yoneda Kou in his mind.

Huang Shengyi only appealed to forgive Wen Zhang online.

Wen Zhang is pitiful and pathetic, and I hope that the audience and netizens will not boycott a movie created by a team of hundreds of people because of a certain actor.

But Yang Zai is different. I wonder if his shoehorned face was caught by the door?

He directly copied Jackie Chan's "famous quotes" from back then:

"Just like Jackie Chan said, Wen Zhang just made a mistake that all men in the world make.

What's more, the mistakes he made were not as serious as those of his elder brother! I hope everyone can forgive Wen Zhang just like you forgive your elder brother. He is a rare and excellent actor..."

This argument can be regarded as an eye-opener for the film and television industry.

I offended Jet Li before because of "The Legend of White Snake", but this time I helped exonerate Wen Zhang, which disgusted Jackie Chan.

Although Yang Zai deleted his Weibo account half an hour later, perhaps because someone reminded him of it, the industry and the Internet had already taken screenshots and forwarded it, and it had spread.

From the perspective of the film and television industry, if this guy didn't have shit in his head, he would never be able to do such a thing! It's better to get out of the circle as soon as possible and don't make yourself embarrassed by struggling.

…………

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

The celebration banquet of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and the official launch of "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield" both appeared on the front page of film and television entertainment news.

Because "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is a theme movie that has exceeded 2 billion, La Peikang took the initiative to take over the celebration banquet.

Organized by China Film Group Corporation, almost no one in the industry dares not to give face. Those who don’t come are basically not qualified to come.

In the ice cube, the words "2.053 billion" are extremely dazzling.

Lin Nan, the director, and Liu Yifei, the producer, both took the initiative to give up their seats.

I saw La Peikang, Han Sanping, and Tong Gang in the middle, giving way to the "little hammer"

This scene made many people twitch their mouths, but they still had to smile on their faces and clap their hands.

Finally, the three of them held hammers at the same time and smashed the ice cubes, complete!

"I'm going to their place."

Liu Yifei shook her head at Lin Nan and saw Xie Nan and Liu Yan smiling and waving in the distance.

"Well, it's up to you."

Lin Nan knew that Miss Liu didn't want to stay here. A group of grown men were talking about movies or business, which was boring.

It is indeed quite boring, just like Jiang Wen was surrounded by many people at the moment, questioning him about "One Step Away".

Juli's "I Love You Most on the Road" was deeply influenced by Wen Zhang and was downloaded yesterday.

As for "One Step Away", which is scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year, there is no guarantee that it will not be affected.

After all, the Internet is now furious, with countless people shouting for Wen Zhang to get out of the film and television industry.

"Don't mention it, Ma Yili's words of 'do it and cherish it' are quite impressive and her methods are brilliant!"

Lin Nan walked up to Jiang Wen with champagne in hand, making many people around him laugh.

Although the woman has some connections in Beijing circles by virtue of her relationship with men and women.

But in front of Lin Nan and others, it really doesn't matter, and you can make fun of them as you like.

"Don't join in the fun, I'm having a headache. Ma Ke also suggested that I delete all the scenes with Wen Zhang..."

Lin Nan smiled and said, "Tsk, tsk, this doesn't seem like Director Jiang's style. Are you scared?"

"Bullshit, the investment of 300 million yuan is all from my company, can you be stress-free?"

Jiang Wenbai glared at Lin Nan and said angrily.

But the next second, his tone changed:

"Looking back at his clips, from a director's point of view, he did a pretty good job.

When we were playing each other, he was able to go back and forth with me and Ge You, and he was not weak at all! "

Lin Nan could tell that Jiang Wen admired Wen Zhang.

Suddenly, he remembered something and glanced at Jiang Wen, who noticed something strange.

"You kid, is there something wrong with your eyes?"

Lin Nan shook his head. He would not admit that he had just thought about Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing. In this circle, everything is so similar.

"Should we delete it or not?"

Lin Nan changed the topic. He admitted that Wen Zhang's acting skills were indeed excellent, but it was too smooth, so he fell into trouble.

"Delete? No, I won't delete a single scene! The movie I made is so good, why should I delete it?"

Jiang Wen thought for a moment, nodded sharply, and made up his mind.

Lin Nan's expression froze. Good guy, it's Jiang Wen who can say such shameless words!

Many people around wanted to laugh but held back, and walked away quickly, for fear that they wouldn't be able to hold it back.

…

Once a movie actor fails, the market and the industry will react the fastest.

In the same way, the Hong Kong circle has declined, so now it is also beginning to "flatter" to the mainland.

I still remember "Sha Po Lang" released in November 2005.

At that time, Donnie Yen was the absolute protagonist, and he treated Wu Gen, a minor supporting character, as if he were nothing in the movie.

But now, "Sha Po Lang 2" has been announced to be released, but there is no such thing as Donnie Yen at all.

Wu Gan, a minor supporting actor who was once born in the Mainland, has become the absolute protagonist.

Directors from Hong Kong, screenwriters from Hong Kong, crew and actors from Hong Kong, but only the protagonist was quietly replaced by a mainland one!

On the surface, they just changed the actors, but what this really represents is the huge changes in the mainland and Hong Kong circles in the past ten years, with the offense and defense being different.

Lin Nan congratulated Wu Gan on Weibo. This guy is also amazing. His wedding is only a month away and he actually got a new movie!

I guess there will be no such thing as a honeymoon for the couple.

"Director Wang, are you still in the company?"

Lin Nan got into the car and as soon as she made a call, Liu Yifei threw an apple in through the car window, "Freshly washed, organic, no need to peel."

He smiled at Miss Liu, nodded, and mouthed: "I'll eat it soon."

"I'm at the company, you can come over now."

Wang Changtian's voice was loud, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for this call these days.

"good."

"I'm leaving." Lin Nan waved his hand.

"Well, go ahead."

…

Lin Nan is really familiar with the Guangming Building.

Originally, this matter could have been handled by the people below.

But after all, they were relying on the team of Light, so Lin Nan felt that it would be more sincere to talk to Wang Changtian in person.

Furthermore, people in your own company will still "steal" from you.

"Hello Director Lin, Director Wang is in the office. You can just go up."

While waiting for the elevator downstairs, he met Bao Bei'er. Looking at his smile, Lin Nan still felt that there was a lot of difference between him and Wang Baoqiang.

"Yeah, okay." Lin Nan nodded and responded.
