That year Huayu

"Warner and Legendary Pictures' sci-fi blockbuster "Godzilla" hopes to be scheduled for May 16, domestic time, to achieve simultaneous global release."

"I guess China Film Group has said no, right?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.

"That's right, I heard that China Film has moved it to June 13th. This out of the blue schedule will not affect "The Breakup Master" and "Ip Man 3" at the end of the month."

Yue Jun nodded and continued to add: "In addition, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" has been temporarily postponed to May 3rd.

This time also happened to be the end of the long vacation, which had no impact on "Return" and "The Invisible Guest" half a month later. "

Lin Nan could tell that China Film Group was still trying its best to leave room for domestic films and its own people and strive for survival space.

No, two consecutive Hollywood science fiction blockbusters have been placed on unpopular schedules.

But there is one problem that cannot be avoided after all.

That is, even if we can "arrange" one or two imported blockbusters, can we still "arrange" twenty or thirty movies?

Domestic films have enjoyed blessings in the first half of the year, but domestic films in the second half of the year have to pay off their debts!

Lin Nan shook his head and stopped thinking about these things that should have been a headache for leaders.

He looked at Yue Jun: "Reba's graduation matter isn't over yet?"

"No, I heard from her that she is still busy rehearsing the show. The graduation process of the Department of Theater and Performance includes stage performances, either individually or as a team.

However, she should graduate this month. Just wait until the end of May or early June to go back to school to collect your certificate and attend a graduation ceremony. "

Hearing Yue Jun's answer, Lin Nan smiled silently. He had forgotten the graduation process for an undergraduate degree in acting. There was not much difference between the three institutions.

"Well, let her know later that she will come back immediately after the graduation performance and defense."

"What about "Running Man"?" Yue Jun reacted immediately.

"Yes, after all, when it comes to the artist's development plan, we still need to communicate with her."

"Okay, I'll call her myself later."

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang's Weibo posts were updated with photos at the same time.

One is wearing a casual windbreaker and a bun, and the other is in ancient costume with long hair tied up.

The two of them were cheek to cheek, pouting cutely and showing funny expressions.

Coupled with the ever-changing scissor hands, it gives everyone a sense of everlasting and peaceful beauty.

On Weibo, the praises of Yishui are constantly refreshing. After all, they are two of the top beauties in the country!

When Lin Nan saw Miss Liu's Weibo, she was already at the screening area of ​​the Capital International Film Festival.

There are many movies that cannot enter domestic theaters, but you can watch them during this film festival. There are really many good movies.

After Lin Nan replied to the two people's Weibo with the word "stinky", he walked to the screening room of a South Korean movie - "Sowon".

Although this movie was released in October last year, it is not available in the mainland. I heard that people in South Korea are paying attention to it because it is adapted from real events.

When entering the screening room, Lin Nan was stunned for a moment. There were not many people in this theater, but they all knew each other!

"Lin Nan, come and sit quickly." Jia Zhangke invited.

Gu Changwei was also waving, and beside him was Wang Quan'an, all directors famous for their realistic themes. In addition, they were professional actors and film critics in the industry.

"What a coincidence." Lin Nan said with a smile and walked over.

“This movie is a favorite to win the Tiantan Awards, everyone, come and see it.

South Korea does have a lot to learn from when it comes to movies. "Gu Changwei explained with a smile.

After chatting with Jia Zhangke and others for a while, the movie officially started.

To be honest, this "Sowon" is really an excellent movie, very profound and depressing.

But this kind of subject matter should not be able to pass the review in China at present.

"Have you ever thought about shooting realistic themes again? I remember that after you finished filming "Into the Dust", you have never made another Chinese-language film with this theme, right?"

Jia Zhangke's voice interrupted Lin Nan's thoughts. Not to mention, it was indeed like this.

Since "Into the Dust", Lin Nan's Chinese-language films have all been commercial films, except for "The Star", which is a literary romance film.

He nodded, "It should be involved in the future. As for whether I will take the photos myself, I can't say for sure at the moment."

…

Happy Twist started as a small theater.

Although the company is small, the team is very professional. Almost all of them in front of and behind the scenes are actors, directors, and screenwriters with professional backgrounds.

The team has outstanding abilities and the stage play has a very good reputation.

But a real problem lies naked in front of us, that is, our own advantages and shortcomings - the business is too single.

In the past few years, except for Shen Teng, Ma Li and others who have attended the Spring Festival Gala a few times and become somewhat famous, the others are really unknown.

Everyone can only perform in theaters, or occasionally make guest appearances in TV shows and movies, playing supporting roles.

But even for Shen Teng and Ma Li, two actors who have gained some fame through the Spring Festival Gala, their development is still hindered.

It seems that the two of them have been completely labeled as sketch actors and can't get on the stage? That's true of both of them, not to mention the rest of them!

Outside, the film and television industry is developing rapidly, and film salaries have skyrocketed several times for five or six consecutive years.

The film and television company goes public, raises financing, and gains both fame and fortune.

Happy Twist is lying if she says she is not envious.

But for cross-border development in the film and television industry, especially the film industry, one must have confidence. This confidence refers to money, and more importantly, connections.

Because in the film industry, you don’t just get into it. It’s also very difficult to do well once you get in.

"Director Lin, do you really say that?" Zhang Chen looked at Yan Fei and asked.

As the founder and boss of Mahua, he has never thought about getting involved in the "glorious" film industry.

But everyone knows that if you want to enter the film industry, you must have the ability and capital to deal with risks.

Countless small companies in the film and television industry dream of becoming bigger and stronger, like Huayi, Bona, and Enlight, but what is the result?

Often after just one or two movies, they will lose all their money, or they will be bullied into gangsters, and their bones will be sucked out.

"Yes, Shen Teng and I spent nearly an hour with Director Lin in the screening room. He made it very clear that if we want to make a movie, we can go to him. Lin Nan Pictures has a film and television investment business."

"That's right, that's what Director Lin said. I don't think the movie "The Breakup Master" is that good either. There is investment in this movie, so what we make will definitely be better than it."

Shen Teng echoed from the side. He is a mainstay, and he thinks he has good looks. If a movie is made, he will be the first to be considered.

"Mr. Zhang, everyone is waiting for your advice. Shen Teng went to play a supporting role in "Heart Blossoms", but he was envied for a while."

"Haha, you're welcome."

Zhang Chen frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Yan Fei and Shen Teng again:

"Investment is not that easy to get. Both ends of the scale are equal. One end is investment, including money and connections, but what about the other end?

What is our capital? What else can be put on the scale? Just relying on the team and those dramas, I’m afraid it’s not enough, right? "

"But those comedy plays are really suitable to be turned into movies..."

Yan Fei and Shen Teng looked at each other, but it was the former who finally replied.

"forget about it?"

After a long time, Shen Teng interjected. Although I am very disappointed, what the boss said makes sense. Everything is equal, getting and giving.

"Contact Lin Nan Pictures and make it more formal. If it can be done, we will start with the most popular dramas."

Suddenly, Zhang Chen spoke.

"What?" Shen Teng reacted the fastest.

Yan Fei also widened his eyes, and then he was extremely happy and excited, because there were only two directors in the company, just him and Peng Damo!

"When the opportunity comes, you have to seize it. Lin Nan has always had a good reputation in the industry and is also the top boss. You can try to talk about it."

Zhang Chen said calmly, feeling somewhat relaxed at this moment.

"Okay, I'll go there later."

…………

Lin Nan drove a car and made a special trip to pick up Liu Yifei at the airport.

"This time for "Xiu Chun Dao 2", we will probably have to overspend again."

As soon as she got into the passenger seat, Ms. Liu said to Lin Nan.

"It's okay to overspend. There are some good movies that don't overspend. Did you have fun this time? The Internet is full of photos of you two."

Lin Nan made a U-turn and headed home, joking.

"Yeah, we both visited all the scenic spots where we used to film. We took hundreds of photos, all of which are on our phones."

Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Is it all taken by you?"

Lin Nan didn't know what happened, so he subconsciously asked this question. As soon as he said it, he regretted it.

Because Liu Yifei was wrinkling her pretty little face and "glaring" at him: "What do you mean? You want to say that I can't take pictures?"

"Oh, I just want to go back and enjoy it. I haven't been to Hengdian for a long time. Well, by the way, I want to recall the years you spent filming there."

In a flash, Lin Nan found an excuse, but classmate Liu Qianqian knew him too well.

"Next time I go out to play, I'll take you with me, and you bring your camera."

Liu Yifei crossed her arms in front of her chest, pretending to be fierce and not wanting to talk to Lin Nan.

"Haha, okay, I'm willing to do my best for you..."

Lin Nan was apologizing for his mistake when a call came in. It was from Yue Jun.

He turned on Bluetooth and said, "Say."

Miss Liu also looked over at this time and stopped acting.

"Director Lin, have you talked to the people at Happy Twist about investing?"

"Well, what's wrong?" Lin Nan had already guessed it in his heart, because he came over there.

"I'm still with Shiyue Culture at the moment. I just received a call from them. They want to make an appointment with you and talk about the film investment that you promised before."

"We will talk about this when we get to the company in the afternoon. We are driving now. By the way, how is the progress of Shiyue Culture?"

After hearing Lin Nan's question, Yue Jun lowered his voice and said with some joy:

"This time I feel a little more relaxed. I think it should be no problem if we win it within a few months."

"Okay, it's up to you."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan let out a long sigh of relief. The progress on both sides was going very well, not bad!

"What movie do you want to invest in?"

Liu Yifei asked Lin Nan curiously with watery eyes.

"I can't generally say which movie to invest in. I'm more optimistic about that team, Happy Mahua."

When it comes to this name, Miss Liu has an impression.

Happy Mahua often sends drama tickets to Lin Nan Pictures. She and Shu Chang have gone to see it several times, and it is indeed quite funny.

"Then go back quickly. After dinner, you can get down to business."

Lin Nan nodded and sped up a bit.

He wouldn't say that he just heard Liu Yifei's stomach growling and that he would be beaten.

Lin Nan was a little surprised when he thought about Happy Twist. He didn't expect that he would get a reply so quickly for something he mentioned only two days ago.

"Investing in movies is a bit too simple..."
