That year Huayu

The film and television industry still clearly remembers "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" a year and a half ago, with which Zhou Xingchi entered the billion-dollar box office director club.

Then there was the lawsuit between him and Hua Yi, and he was publicly ridiculed and humiliated by Wang Zhonglei.

No one expected that he would be back after only a year and a half!

The most interesting thing is that this time the film was not only quietly announced, but the partners have already been decided.

Xinghui, China Film, Shanghai Film, and Lin Nan Pictures, these four companies come together, and it almost feels like they are going sideways!

"Hahaha, there really is no Hua Yi among the partners, they are such a loser!"

"Integrity is important in life, and even more so in business. Huayi? His reputation is already ruined."

"Obviously, preparations for "Mermaid" were started immediately after "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons."

"Why do you feel the inexplicable excitement of coming back strong and getting slapped in the face with revenge? Xing Ye VS Hua Yi!"

"The investment has nearly tripled, and the partners are China Film, Shanghai Film and Lin Nan Pictures. This is obviously to prevent someone from doing evil!"

"For the person upstairs, just name Hua Yi directly. There is no need to enter a code."

On the Internet and Weibo, the popularity of "Mermaid" has reached a boiling point, and the number of topics is increasing sharply every minute and remains high.

In the film and television industry, companies, studios with artist management business, or actors and stars themselves are all eager to inquire about movie casting.

Many big names in the industry are also interested in becoming heroines, either because of their juniors or because of their connections.

The halo of "Star Girl"'s debut is not small. If done well, the future stardom will be bright!

All in all, if Zhou Xingchi takes part in the role, "Mermaid" will be a top resource;

If Zhou Xingchi did not participate in the role, "Mermaid" would be a top resource. There will be more people who can support it!

Coupled with the support of three producers, China Film, Shanghai Film and Lin Nan Pictures, the investment cost is 300 million.

Undoubtedly, "Mermaid" is a rare big cake in the mainland in recent years.

On Huayi's side, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei didn't expect Zhou Xingchi to start a new movie project so soon.

In their eyes, with Zhou Xingchi's efficiency, why should they wait three years?

But this time, as said on the Internet, "Mermaid" was obviously prepared immediately after "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Or even more precisely, after the 80 million lawsuit.

"There are more and more posts online that belittle and slander us. We must suppress them. Otherwise, it will affect our reputation too much and will most likely affect the group's stock price."

Wang Zhongjun ordered sharply.

He admitted that if Zhou Xingchi's co-producers were not those three, he would definitely take action. Even if there are no benefits, there will still be some stumbling blocks.

"Okay, I'll let the public relations department handle it. In addition, I will personally communicate with the hot searches on Weibo and spend money to cool down..."

"Is it possible that some company is deliberately stirring up trouble and targeting us?"

Faced with Wang Zhongjun's question, Wang Zhonglei was a little embarrassed. It seemed that the netizens had set the pace themselves, but it got out of hand.

"I understand, you go ahead. The real benefits are in your own hands. It's just a reputation, it's nothing.

I don't believe how much money they can make from this "Mermaid" movie. The cost is 300 million, and it is not a big IP. hehe. "Wang Zhongjun sneered.

At early nine o'clock, Liu Yifei drove out wearing a mixed summer dress that Lin Nan couldn't stand.

She was going to pick up Shu Chang, while Lin Nan went to the company.

I heard from Yue Jun that the company's phone and his phone were almost buzzing with calls, and many people in the industry came over to inquire about the casting of "Mermaid."

China Film and Shanghai Film Group never paid attention to this, and Xinghui refused to be interviewed, keeping confidentiality to the extreme.

The companies in the circle and the Actor and Star Studio could only put their ideas towards Lin Nan.

"Fuck, tell me the truth, the project that Dong and you talked about at the dinner that day wasn't "Mermaid", was it?"

"Director Wang has already guessed it, why are you still asking?"

"You just established the project without any notice, and the cost is still 300 million! I'm afraid the rate of return won't be high, right?"

Wang Changtian's thoughts were exactly the same as those of Ren Zhonglun.

Lin Nan did not explain, but kindly reminded:

"For such a large project, the issuance must be the most thorough. Why don't you contact Director Wang to see if you can get a certain share of the issuance?"

Hearing this, Wang Changtian immediately became energetic, "Go now, if it works, I'll treat you alone!"

"Haha, okay, I'll wait."

…………

Time has arrived in July quietly, and it flies by really fast.

Several movies also moved from Sunday to the week.

Although the daily box office of "Transformers 4" dropped directly from 213 million to 132 million.

But it is still far higher than the 47.5 million of "Ip Man 3" and the 38.14 million of "The Breakup Master", regardless of other cannon fodder.

This year's domestic movie box office list, "Transformers 4" looks like it will firmly occupy a place in the top five.

Near noon, the media brought two amazing pieces of overseas information to the film and television industry, and reported the news about the completion of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" at the same time.

"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures and directed by Director Lu Yang, starring Zhang Zhen, Shu Chang, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Jin Shijie and others, "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield" officially wrapped up in Hengdian today!"

"Liu Yifei, dressed casually, personally picked up Shu Chang at the airport at 11 o'clock in the morning, and the two hugged each other intimately outside the airport."

"Reprinted from Hollywood movie information:

The entry list for the 72nd Film and Television Golden Globe Awards has been officially announced. "Manchester by the Sea" directed by Lin Nan will compete for the main Golden Globe Award for Drama Film. "

"The 87th Academy Awards announced the list of film submissions. Director Lin Nan begins his second trip to the Olympics with "Manchester by the Sea."

The entire domestic film industry was really dumbfounded, although when "Manchester by the Sea" was screened before, everyone was speculating on Lin Nan's intentions.

But when the accurate news came out from Hollywood, everyone still felt very shocked and a little dazed.

Lin Nan not only competed for the Olympics for two consecutive years, but this time he also participated in the Golden Globe Award competition! Killing crazy?

These two pieces of news quickly caused a sensation in the film and television circles. To be more precise, it attracted the attention of the entire director circle.

Nortel forwarded it as soon as possible. After all, in two months, this will be the current associate professor of our school.

If Lin Nan wins the Golden Globe and Oscar early next year or goes further and wins the grand prize, the school will really make a lot of money!

Lin Nan posted a Weibo in response to the large number of messages on his homepage.

"That's right, while I'm still young, I want to fight in more tough games, Golden Balls, Oscars... so that I can take care of myself later."

In less than five minutes, many people in the industry began to tease Lin Nan.

"What's in the ellipsis, Director Lin? Why can't I click on it?"

"It's outrageous to think about taking care of your old age at such a young age! Although I'm very envious, I still have to say, when you take care of your old age, brother, whose lap should I take care of?"

"Hey, Yifei doesn't have the energy to work yet, she's too lazy."

…

When Lin Nan went back at noon, many big directors in the industry rarely spoke up. The media really had nothing to do.

"He is the leader among the younger generation of directors. I hope he can go one step further this time and win back the grand prize. We old people no longer have that kind of spirit."

"I wish him success, but the awards outside are indeed dispensable, so don't get too obsessed with them."

"If it works, I'll give him a banquet and drink a few bottles of it!"

"Well, last time I said he was like an animal, haha..."

“It’s a good thing for young people to be motivated, but they still have to act within their capabilities and not be too forced.

For the Golden Globe Award, I can give him some guidance and experience. Just keep a calm mind and have the courage to fail for the first time. "

…

Liu Xiaoli prepared a lot of ingredients for her goddaughter, and she is busy at the moment.

Shu Chang and Liu Yifei were chattering in the living room.

Seeing Lin Nan's figure, the former immediately said: "Many people are asking Sissy if you can recommend the role of "Mermaid"."

Liu Yifei also nodded, "I rejected them all one by one."

"If he really spoke up, he would probably give me face. But let's forget it. I've said it before and won't interfere in the casting."

Lin Nan answered as he sat on the single sofa next to him. In his opinion, this movie is not worth stuffing people into.

Of course, if the male lead is played by Zhou Xingchi, that's no problem.

But the key is that Zhou Xingchi doesn't act, and if others can't grasp Zhou's comedy style, the quality of the movie will definitely suffer a lot.

While having lunch, Lin Nan received a call.

Two million shares of Huayi stock have been sold off, and the details were sent to his mailbox.

By the time Lin Nan met Lu Yang at the company in the afternoon, word had already spread outside.

"Since the end of January, Director Lin Nan has sold Huayi shares at a high level for the third time. It was only more than a month since the last sell-off!"

"Huayi confirmed that the transaction volume of Director Lin Nan has reached more than 110 million, and it is not sure whether to stop selling..."

Within a day, Lin Nan appeared on Weibo hot searches one after another, which dazzled everyone in the circle.

"Director Lin, look, everyone on the Internet is joking. They say you are 'improving your life' again! Haha..."

Lu Yang flipped through his phone, laughing so hard.

Lin Nan also opened the web page and decided to explain.

"There is no need to improve my life for the time being, Yifei can support me, and the soft rice is very delicious.

As for the reason for cashing out? Didn't I invest in "Mermaid" directed by Zhou Xingchi a few days ago?

After thinking about it, I decided to demolish the east wall to repair the west wall. Well, that's the reason, nothing else. "

As soon as Lin Nan sent it out, Lu Yang, who was sitting opposite him, instantly liked it and added something.

""Xiuchundao 2 Shura Battlefield" has a little over budget, and now it is being criticized by Director Lin!"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yifei's comment was refreshed on Lin Nan's Weibo: "If I take one bite, you will have half a bite. Feed you!"

"Sissi said the same thing about the cat. Haha..." Shu Chang really deserves a beating.

…

Ignoring the lively chat in the comment area, Lin Nan looked at Lu Yang.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Sure! I'll finish the post-production of "Xiuchundao 2" first, and then focus on the movie..."

The more Lu Yang talked, the more excited he became, as if he was already thinking about the scene of "meeting" with Director Chen.

Lin Nan supported his decision. "Xiuchundao 2 Shura Battlefield" and "Taoist Descending the Mountain" are scheduled to be released on the same day. Just hearing this gimmick is very eye-catching.

"I guess Director Kai Ge won't be in a good mood when the schedule is set. If you win, you deserve it, but if you lose, you will lose face!"

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Lu Yang became even more excited.

""Xiuchundao" is a martial arts movie, and "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" is also a martial arts movie.

Martial arts movies are inseparable from the word "jianghu", and there are struggles in the "jianghu". And if two martial arts films are screened together, isn't it just Jianghu? I am looking forward. "

Lu Yang talked eloquently, telling Lin Nan his "Jianghu" theory. Not to mention, it does sound quite impressive.

"Then I'll listen to you. You can take your time in the later stages of the film. Because as far as I know, Director Chen's speed is not very fast, so you don't have to be too anxious."

In just a few words, Lin Nan and Lu Yang decided on the release plan of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" and rushed to "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain".
