That year Huayu

Liu Yifei suddenly started to get up early to practice martial arts.

Lin Nan saw this and unconsciously thought about whether he should practice as well, what if he couldn't beat him and got beaten in the future.

On the other hand, the viewing party for "Dragon and Tiger Gate" has ended, and the media reports are surprisingly consistent: the action is gorgeous, but the story is thin.

No one is optimistic about it surpassing "Time Cruiser", only the Hong Kong media is still waving the flag.

July passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, "Journey to the Center of the Earth" was released. China Film took the lead and everyone held a celebration party. There were many people in the industry cheering for it. Lin Nan even saw Jet Li.

After communicating with Lin Nan, Tudou decided to put "Soldier Assault" on the special day of August 1st for its online premiere.

The five-day box office of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" reached 30 million, the best in Asia, but it was still ridiculed by the audience for its childish plot.

The crew held a high-profile press conference, and when asked by reporters, they never mentioned anything about surpassing "Time Cruiser".

Lin Nan returned to the company, and the budget team had rough data.

"How many?"

"Director Lin, it costs about 300 million.

Actors' remuneration is all trivial, mainly the construction of a large-scale Mars base, including living cabins, work cabins, etc.; a large number of physical props: Mars rovers, exploration rovers, space capsules, space stations, etc., all of which need to be designed and manufactured.

The most important part is the post-production special effects rendering, which is currently unavailable in China unless we borrow a supercomputer. Several foreign quotes are similar, and they all cost over 100 million..."

Don't even think about super calculations. Lin Nan was mentally prepared for this scale of funds, but it still hurt to hear it, especially the special effects.

"Did Mr. Han notify you?"

"not yet."

"Then let me go and tell you. You can calculate it carefully and give me a data sheet."

The aviation science and engineering team, based on the information about the Hongya area given by Lin Nan, has already sent people to conduct an on-site inspection.

"Okay, as long as it's out, the next step is to find investors and actors."

Han Sanping held the budget report and said excitedly.

"We can't say this until the people from Aerospace Science and Engineering come back. The actual Mars base is the top priority, and they have to design and build it."

…

A piece of gossip detonated the entire film and television industry.

Some media revealed that a blockbuster film with an investment of more than 500 million is looking for supporting actors and actresses. It will be a Sino-US co-production. The male lead has been decided. It has the top cast in Asia.

Later, a reporter took photos of Hollywood director Rob Minkoff having dinner with Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun.

Lin Nan saw the news and thought of Liu Yifei's recent situation, and felt confident.

"Are you coming?"

Whether it was gossip or Hua Yi deliberately revealed it, who can say for sure.

Within two days, Huayi took the initiative to announce the news. The co-production with an investment of 70 million US dollars has been reported to the film bureau. Some actors have been auditioned and auditions are now starting across Asia.

Star artists from the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and surrounding countries flocked to the event.

There is no room for other news on the portal, it’s all about this news.

Reporters squatted outside Huayi Company and could easily take photos of a large number of celebrities. The Internet is full of photos.

Compared with those excited and eager actors, stars and agencies, the film and television production companies in the industry are not very happy. They cannot get involved in such a big cake.

Hua Yi ended up living alone, without even China Film Group taking care of him. Han Sanping got angry about this.

Liu Yifei was telling Lin Nan about her audition process. There was joy in her eyebrows. It was obvious that she really wanted this role.

"Do you want to play the female lead?" Lin Nan asked.

"Well, my mother said that this is the best resource in the country at present. It is very likely to work with Jet Li and Jackie Chan at the same time, and the scenes will be sufficient..."

Lin Nan looked at the dancing Liu Yifei and began to compare "The Martian" and "The King of Kung Fu".

The former is completely the male lead role, and the rest are all supporting roles, but the latter is different. The female lead really has a lot of roles, and she still has two roles.

Regardless of whether this movie succeeds or fails in the end, it is undeniable that its influence is really great, and Liu Yifei also went international through this movie.

"Then come on, I'll help you." Lin Nan put his arms around the girl's back and said warmly.

"How can you help?" Liu Yifei asked doubtfully.

"Waving the flag and cheering for you, haha."

"Ahem."

Liu Xiaoli came over at the wrong time, and the two of them were just in the right mood.

Lin Nan let go of Liu Yifei and said, "Auntie."

The daughter blushed and said, "Mom."

"It's time to practice, there are auditions later."

Lin Nan calculated the time difference and made an international call.

"James, did Lionsgate recently invest in a co-production with my company?"

"Director Lin, it's probably midnight over there, right? You're really energetic."

"Do you know about this?" Lin Nan urged.

"It seems so. This is a matter for the production department. I heard them talk about it. What's wrong?"

"Is it He Huayi?"

"It seems so. I heard that we are communicating with Jackie Chan."

"Do me a favor." Lin Nan said.

"What's the deal?"

"Help me recommend an actress to the production department, the girl from "Journey to the Center of the Earth"."

"Lin Nan, I didn't expect you to do such a thing, haha.

No need to recommend, because there are not many oriental faces appearing in Hollywood movies, so she must be on the key reference list. New Line's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is still popular. "

Lin Nan didn't expect that he would do something unnecessary.

"Then help me mention it too."

"Okay, I'll tell them that this is your request."

"Thanks, James."

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, "Kung Fu King" did help Liu Yifei more than "The Martian".

Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Zhang Baizhi... Zhou Xun, Fan Wenfang...

A large number of female stars are reportedly vying for roles.

The team of Aviation Science and Engineering is back. The Hongya area is indeed the most suitable location for filming. When people stay there, the red hillside soil, the vastness and the emptiness, give them a feeling of loneliness as if they are on an alien planet.

It’s totally fine to build the Mars base in the script there.

The team of Aviation Science and Engineering began the intense design process. All the aerospace equipment and vehicle props in the script must be made, and at least some of the functions must be usable.

"Start looking for investment." Lin Nan said.

Han Sanping had been waiting for this sentence.

People from Guangwang, Wanda, and Shanghai Film Group arrived. This time Lin Nan and Han Sanping had a tacit understanding to leave some shares for Aviation Science and Technology and did not mention Huayi.

When they heard that 300 million yuan had been raised, and that additional investment would not be ruled out in the future, everyone calmed down instantly and began to read the information on the table seriously.

It is a hard-core science fiction blockbuster, and the post-production special effects rendering is completed by a Hollywood team. These points give everyone confidence.

On the other hand, Lin Nan's record so far is very good. It is understandable that this time he has changed from soft science fiction to hard core science fiction.

"Everyone can send supervisors here, and the funds will ensure that they flow to costume props and post-production."

…

Several parties stayed at China Film for a whole day, and they kept arguing about the investment share. Aviation Science and Technology invested in personnel, technology, and capital, and no one had any objections.

The final cost of 300 million was shared equally among the six parties, but Lin Nan's share was 30%. In this kind of project, you don't get a share of how much you pay. Lin Nan is in control and will definitely get more.

"Soldier Assault" is already on the air, with six episodes currently aired. Judging from the feedback from Tudou, the click-through rate is constantly increasing. It is not yet possible to judge its direction. We will have to wait for a while.

Huayi's audition has been completely made public. A large number of actors enter and leave the Huayi Building every day, and the news is overwhelming.

Wang Jinghua has been very tired recently. Since she started her own business, her film resources have become even less than before. Although Cheng Tian does not interfere in the company's affairs, she is far inferior to Huayi in terms of resources.

After the news of this US$70 million co-production came out, the people below became even more uncomfortable because Huayi didn't give them a chance to audition at all.

Actors like Chen Daoming no longer need to find resources. Producers will take the initiative to contact them, but it is different for others.

"Yawen, to be honest, it might have been better if you had stayed in Huayi. At least it would have been much easier in terms of movies."

Wang Jinghua laughed at herself, Zhu Yawen's film resources were all given by Lin Nan, and she, as an agent, couldn't help at all.

"I'm too lazy, so it's good for now." Zhu Yawen said with a smile.

…

Liu Xiaoli took her daughter for the second audition, and she needed to communicate in English throughout the process. Liu Yifei seemed calm and calm. In terms of language, she inherited her biological father's talent, and she was not only able to speak both Chinese and English.

"If Yifei can sign Hua Yilai, I can guarantee that she will at least get the supporting female role."

Wang Zhonglei spoke directly this time. This intention was revealed to Liu Xiaoli and Chen Jinfei a few years ago.

"Why does Mr. Wang have to sign a contract with Sissi?"

"Because I am optimistic about her. She has the potential and basic conditions to become an international movie star, and Huayi can provide her with all the resources she needs."

What Wang Zhonglei said is true. Liu Yifei currently has too many fans. She has been on the rise in the past few years. She only needs one powerful movie to fully blossom.

Liu Xiaoli refused in her heart. Huayi is a big company, but the more it goes like this, the more dirty it will be internally. "Let's wait until the results of the audition come out."

"Okay." Wang Zhonglei said while forcing his smile.

Minkoff is very optimistic about this girl. Today he even mentioned "Journey to the Center of the Earth" which has just been completed. He said that another investor, Lions Gate, also thought that this girl could be considered. The other party already has a major Hollywood production.

In view of this, Wang Zhonglei spoke frankly about Liu Yifei's economic contract today, but he did not expect that this woman was still delaying it.

At this time, Liu Yifei came out with a happy face.

"Mom, Director Minkoff said I can wait for the third round of auditions."

"Really?" Liu Xiaoli asked.

Liu Yifei nodded, "Yes."

Wang Zhonglei said coldly: "Huayi is an investor in this drama. Ms. Liu can carefully consider what I just said. Since Director Minkoff is so optimistic about Yifei, then don't go to the end and rejoice in vain... …”

Liu Xiaoli heard the meaning of these words, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for reminding me. I will consider it."

He held his daughter's hand and walked outside.

"Sissi, Mr. Wang just said he wanted to sign you to Huayi. What do you think?"

Liu Xiaoli asked.

"Ah? I don't want to." Liu Yifei shook her head decisively.

At this time, an idea suddenly popped into Liu Xiaoli's mind, which became more and more profound.

"If you don't want to, then don't sign."
