That year Huayu

In two weeks, "Transformers 4" received a super high box office of 1.57 billion, and its daily box office performance is still very strong.

"Ip Man 3" and "The Breakup Master" firmly occupy the second and third places, earning 567 million and 500 million respectively.

Everyone in the industry is sighing and lamenting that a Hollywood science fiction film can easily beat two domestic high-box office movies of the same period.

Thinking again that during the Lunar New Year holiday, everyone will be greeted by another science fiction masterpiece - Nolan's "Interstellar", the film industry is even more troubled!

This year’s mainland film market is hard to describe.

Except for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", which kept the reputation of domestic films, all the big players in the market were swallowed up by imported films.

Everyone once again missed the days when Han Sanping was still there. The days when there was a mountain eagle were good days.

However, many people in the industry also noticed the originally inconspicuous "Old Boy: The Dragon Crossing the River".

Although it has only been released for one day, the film has received very good reviews.

At the box office, it also seemed like another dark horse, with a score of 22.68 million on the first day, making the industry shine.

"So, apart from the performance department, other majors can always surprise people. This is another art major who can direct, act and sing!"

Lin Nan looked at Xiao Yang's resume and joked.

"Director Lin, the funds for "The Secret of the Dragon" have been put into special accounts by those three companies.

In addition, Jinma is asking again. The Hundred Flowers Award has also sent an invitation and would like to invite you to attend the awards night. "

After hearing the next two words from Yue Jun, Lin Nan slowly raised his head, with a helpless expression.

The higher your achievements and status in the circle, the more trivial things you have to do, which is very troublesome.

"There's no movie this year, and there's no need to repay the favor. The Golden Horse just declined for me. As for Baihua, well, I really can't be interested."

To be honest, Lin Nan didn't have any objections to Baihua. After all, he won the award the first time he went to Baihua.

But in the past five or six years, the reputation of the Hundred Flowers Award is really difficult to say. It has become as mysterious as the Golden Rooster.

Either the award results coincide with 90% of what netizens predicted, there is no suspense, and there is no distinction between good and bad works, which seems careless;

Either copy the results of the Golden Rooster Awards from the previous year and select those films that have entered theaters to award awards, which is a perfunctory way;

There is also the last and most criticized issue: Baihua is suspected of being pre-publicized and operated in secret!

After several editions, the Hundred Flowers Award has been given a nickname by film and television circles, called: Huayi’s Hundred Flowers Award.

"Lu Yang and Guo Fan should go, I'll forget it. Let them have fun and treat it as a trip to the northwest."

After thinking about it, Lin Nan still refused. "By the way, have all the actors of "The Secret of the Dragon" been notified?"

"I'm about to inform you that I will join the team in three days and officially start filming in four days."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work."

Watching Yue Jun leave, Lin Nan remembered Jiang Wen's instructions yesterday and couldn't help but want to laugh.

The guy actually asked him to tell the crew to take care of "Sister Liu" during filming. After all, she is an elderly person.

But just now, Lin Nan was on Weibo and saw the promotional photos of the new drama sent by Liu Xiaoqing.

She wore two braids and carried a shoulder bag, looking like a girl. How could she be sixty-two years old? He is obviously twenty-six years old!

"Haha..., it really made me laugh to death."

The more Lin Nan thought about it, the more amused she became. Goosebumps appeared on her skin and she was so scared.

…………

At noon, the film and television industry and the media were all discussing Ma Yun's remarks at the Alibaba Pictures press conference.

Now Alibaba is a star company, and Lao Ma is a "god"! Therefore, his speech can arouse the emotions of ordinary people.

“Currently, there are big problems in the domestic film and television cultural industry: that is, people who have money but no brains have full pockets but empty heads.

If the cultural industry cannot develop, we will be an upstart. So Alibaba Pictures will learn from Nephi and "House of Cards".

We will create film and television works according to the audience's preferences, and the audience can even lead the direction of the work. Only in this way can new vitality appear in the film and television cultural industry..."

In addition to "exposing" the shortcomings of the current film and television industry and promoting Alibaba's film and television thinking, Lao Ma also publicly announced:

We hope that capable screenwriters and talented newcomers will join Alibaba Pictures and become the founders and pioneers of a new era in the film and television industry.

Many old people in the traditional film and television industry sneer at Lao Ma's tactics. Last month Zhang Qiang said that Alibaba will not need professional talents in the future.

Why are you joining Alibaba Pictures now? To dig your own grave?

Lin Nan flipped through the news. He never believed Ma Yun's words. This person had too many tricks. But it is undeniable that the latter’s current appeal is also inexplicable.

Not long after I finished my speech in the morning, the stock price began to skyrocket, and countless investors jumped into the trap, as if they had finally made the right bet.

Lin Nan estimated that Ali should be starting to sharpen his knife.

Liu Yifei was typing away on the keyboard and replying to emails.

"Starting from the beginning of October at the latest, I will be participating in promotional activities with the crew of "Interstellar", and I will hold a press conference in China in early November."

After typing the last sentence and clicking send, Ms. Liu stretched herself and said sweetly to Lin Nan, her smile was very healing.

In her mind, the second most important thing this year is "Interstellar".

"Early November? Well, it's quite appropriate. There should be a red carpet by then." Lin Nan nodded and said.

For this kind of science fiction blockbuster, Warner will definitely have to do a lot in promoting it, not to mention that the mainland is the second largest film market in the world.

Just as he was talking to Liu Yifei about how to support her, Lin Nan's phone vibrated.

"Director Wang's phone calls are really irregular."

"Hurry up, it should be business." Miss Liu reminded, and then went to the kitchen.

"Director Wang, it's almost dinner time, would you like to treat me to dinner?"

"Oh, yes. You take Yifei and go out now." Wang Changtian said with a joking smile.

"Then let's have the next meal. I'll have dinner here soon. If anything happens, Director Wang will tell you immediately."

"Okay, let's get down to business. Xu Zheng's "囧" has been reviewed, and we are planning to launch the project, cast the cast, and select a date to start filming.

Send someone to supplement the contract. I feel uncomfortable when I think that you accounted for 20% of the box office share, which is not 20% of the divisible box office! "

Wang Changtian joked and spoke his mind.

Lin Nan didn't take it seriously, "Let's do it in the afternoon, I'll send someone to the light."

"Yeah, no problem. One more thing, Guangmao is planning to make another youth movie. If you are interested, you can ask."

Sure enough, I have tasted the sweetness of youth movies. The last movie "My Deskmate" has only been released for two months, and now a new youth movie is about to be released.

"Let me hear it, what project is Guangguang planning to start? Is it an adaptation of a novel?" Lin Nan asked in a dignified manner.

"Well, the very popular youth novel "Left Ear". The director has also been decided, Su Youpeng, and we are preparing to choose the person."

Lin Nan remembers that Guangguang's "Actor-New Director Project" seemed to include Su Youpeng.

"Forget it. I'm not interested in youth movies. I wish the movie "Guangguang" will be a success."

"What about the actors? Are there any fortresses?"

"The only person in our company who is of the right age to star in a youth film is Reba, what do you think, Director Wang?"

"I understand, "Searching for the Dragon" is more important, haha."

…………

Without Donnie Yen's "Ip Man 3", the box office will not be affected at all, it is still very good.

This once again reminds actors in the film and television industry that as long as the quality of a work is good, no actor is irreplaceable.

Especially those action actors who don't rely much on their acting skills. There will never be a shortage of people in the industry who can fight better than you! The same goes for vase actors. There is never a shortage of better-looking actors in the industry.

In the two weeks since its release, "Ip Man 3" has also done well at the box office in Hong Kong Island, which has led to Donnie Yen being criticized by all kinds of criticism.

The old man from Hong Kong who once spoke for him has become silent now.

Because Ying Huang was so determined to follow the Mainland, even the movies the group participated in, they blocked Donnie Yen by default.

Do you want to ask him if he regrets asking for a salary of 30 million? Donnie Yen must regret it.

For one thirty million, he lost a lot of thirty million, and even fell down the line.

At this time, the manager hurried over from outside, looked at Zhen Zidan who looked not very good, and said excitedly:

"Ignore that "Ip Man 3" thing, and forget about the ridicule outside, the opportunity has come."

Hearing this, Zhen Zidan immediately came back to his senses, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked: "What opportunity?"

"Your call just failed to get through. Master Yuan Ba ​​has promised to give you a chance. Follow me now and go see him immediately."

"Master Yuan Ba? Is it that one?"

"right!"

Hearing this, Zhen Zidan was so excited that he walked out without saying a word.

…

China Film, Chairman's Office.

La Peikang was still thinking about what happened yesterday. After the initial conversation, he realized that it was indeed a big production.

And the intention there is very clear, they can provide most of the funds to make a real co-production blockbuster with China Film!

"Gathering top casts from both sides, the most distinctive Chinese elements to date, global distribution and public release..."

The more La Peikang murmured, the more excited he became. He understood Han Sanping more and more. This feeling was really great!

Where do political achievements come from? Ordinary commercial films will not do.

Political achievements must come from co-production films, main themes, gift films, and pioneering films!

"La Dong, didn't they say they are still working on the script? There shouldn't be any rush."

"Well, there is no rush. It is expected to be completed by the end of September or early October. We will discuss the specific content then.

I'm thinking about the director right now. Who in China can take over this job? "

La Peikang spoke and glanced at the secretary. The domestic film market is becoming more and more prosperous, and Hollywood is also taking the initiative to make concessions in order to cooperate.

“There are only so many great directors in China.”

La Peikang nodded. The secretary was right, that's all. He vaguely had someone in mind.

"What do you think of Lin Nan? Although he is young, he is the box office record holder for domestic films. He was the first mainland director to reach the US$200 million box office club in the North American film market. He is also very famous in Hollywood and has many friends. "

The secretary smiled and said nothing. La Peikang's tone did not mean a question at all, but a statement, which could also be said to be an affirmative sentence.

"La Dong, don't you already have a candidate in mind?"

"Hahaha, indeed. In my opinion, Lin Nan is the most suitable!"

La Peikang smiled and nodded without denying it.

"To be more specific, let's wait until the end of September or the beginning of October. They will come over then, and you can have an interview with Lin Nan. For now, let's keep it a secret so that we don't have to worry about Shangying's plans."

"I understand, La Dong. I will give the order."
