That year Huayu

Jiang Wen was also unlucky. When he was attending the Cannes Film Festival, something went wrong with the copy he submitted, and his trip ended up being in vain.

After coming back this time, I was really unwilling and rushed to Venice again.

Lin Nan also sent blessings.

The admission list for Nortel's Directing Department has come out, and Ma Chun is not there.

I heard from Lao Jiang that Jiang Wenli and others went to the performance department, but it was too late and there was nothing they could do.

In the end, I think I went to the Performance Department of Communication University.

The scores and requirements there are very low, equivalent to the lowest major, but with the family's connections, there is a high probability that he will transfer to other good majors in the end.

Bona's Yu Dong has been hanging around China Film Studio a lot recently, and Lin Nan can meet him from time to time.

Since joining Poly, Bona has suddenly become one of the best in the circle.

"Mr. Yu, what's the matter? This is the third time I've met you today."

In the end, Lin Nan couldn't hold back and spoke first.

A fat face full of smiles.

"Director Lin, the publisher of "Painted Skin" hasn't been decided yet, right?"

"Mr. Yu, China Film and Enlight are both investors and have distribution businesses."

In Lin Nan's opinion, Yu Dong's idea is really unrealistic.

“China Film has too many movies to release, and the resources allocated to this batch of blockbusters may not necessarily be able to give much to “Painted Skin.”

Bona is different. For a big production like "Painted Skin", I can guarantee to Director Lin that the distribution will be the strongest.

The light here is incomparable to ours..."

Yu Dong is very smart, and he is worthy of being able to work in a business from a film studio.

Lin Nan thought about it and realized that what the other party said did make sense.

Several major director's films are produced by China Film Group Corporation, so the resources may not necessarily cover everything.

"Mr. Yu, how about this? I will consider your proposal. I will give you an answer before the final stage is completed."

"Okay, Director Lin can think about it slowly. Bona is thinking about the long term. This is the first time we cooperate, and we must let you see his sincerity..."

Other fat people always look honest when they smile, but when Yu Dong smiles, he always gives people the feeling that he is not a good person.

But one thing is true, this guy can be regarded as Han Sanping's direct confidant, otherwise he would not be allowed to come to Lin Nan.

"Director Lin, come and see something good."

The people in charge of the later stage of the film at China Film were very familiar with Lin Nan, so they asked him to watch a short movie with him.

"Fuck, what is this?" Lin Nan was stunned.

"Yes, it's the International Chapter. The news on the external network is still hot, hehe." A team leader smiled obscenely.

Another person added: "This was taken at a Dior party. Two people thought they were hiding in a dark corner and no one was paying attention. It was very exciting..."

"I'm just confused. You said it doesn't matter what she wants. What does this foreigner want with so much money and resources?"

…

A group of people started talking.

"You guys really help talents." Lin Nan complained.

If other leaders of China Film Group came over, these people would definitely be criticized.

——

In July, the most important event in the industry is probably the film industry party celebrating the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland.

The venue is the CPPCC Auditorium.

It has already been held once on Hong Kong Island in June.

Lin Nan didn't go to China Film Academy for two days. After saying hello to Liu Yifei, he set up call forwarding on his phone and rested at home.

I go to see Liu Yifei's cats from time to time. The nanny takes good care of them. The cats meow when they see Lin Nan from a distance.

When the red carpet started on the morning of the movie party, Lin Nan drove slowly to China Film Festival.

"Who can stand a literary evening that lasts all day?"

There were no problems during the last two days of "Painted Skin".

Everyone was laughing when they saw Lin Nan.

"Director Lin, where have you been these past two days? Secretary Han has called you several times, but the call has not been able to get through. How about you call me back now?"

What a joke, Lin Nan was hiding from them.

"An idea suddenly came to my mind, so I was writing a script. In order to avoid being disturbed, I set up my phone."

Lin Nan said without changing his expression.

A group of people couldn't guess whether it was true or false. Before, the secretary-general asked whether he was hiding on purpose.

"Hurry up and get to work. I'll treat you to lunch."

"Okay, Director Lin is still very grand. Other film crews are never like this..."

Lin Nan found a seat and turned on the computer. There was a live broadcast on the movie channel.

As expected, the people who can attend this party are all big names from both places.

Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng, Liu Weiqiang, Wu Yusen, Chen Kexin, Liang Jiahui, Li Ming, Aaron Kwok, Er Dongsheng...

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Guoli, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Ziyi...

The further he looked back, the more Lin Nan was glad that he had the foresight to hide away.

There are two to three hundred second-tier and above stars alone.

If this happens, just socializing and socializing will be exhausting, and you will have to pay attention to your appearance, words and deeds at all times.

Although Lin Nan didn't go, he and "Painted Skin" were still mentioned during the "Blockbuster of the Year" segment hosted by Han Sanping.

…

Donnie Yen temporarily left Xinchang Ancient Town, the filming location of "Ip Man".

Came to the capital to promote the movie "The Fuse" in which he starred.

Someone who had nothing to do with Lin Nan before actually thought of stopping by for a visit.

This is very realistic and ironic.

However, Lin Nan refused. Donnie Yen's movie will most likely hit the market again.

"Spider-Man 3" in May received 150 million.

June's "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" also has 120 million so far.

July has a big hit, "Transformers".

Domestic movies are all moving to after September, and Hong Kong movies are about to catch up. Lin Nan really doesn't understand what these people are thinking.

The documentary film "Nanjing" was released, not the "Nanjing" by Lu Chuan.

Lin Nan went to watch a movie alone. There were very few people in the theater.

"Maybe it's because it's a documentary." Lin Nan comforted herself.

He didn't realize that a foreign director actually filmed this event so well, and the 40-minute video of risking one's life to secretly shoot it gave people chills and chills in their spines.

…

The Venice Film Festival is a paradise for artistic films.

This guy Jiang Wen really succeeded.

There are three Chinese-language films on the shortlist for the main competition unit.

The most conspicuous among them are "The Sun Also Rises" by Jiang Wen and "Lust, Caution" by Li An.

A 1 minute and 46 second long English trailer clip has been revealed.

Tang Wei was naked, with his back to the camera, standing in front of the window...

Although they had broken up, Lin Nan estimated that Tian Yu would feel uncomfortable.

He is a man with strong self-esteem.

Lin Nan heard that during the filming of this scene, Li An was originally going to arrange for a substitute, but Tony Leung sternly refused.

In the end, it seemed like the fake became real.

Euphemistically called, for the movie...

For such a large-scale movie to be released in the mainland, it will definitely have to be edited out.

Otherwise, the General Administration will not care whether you are an artist or not.

Some masters are truly worthy of their reputation.

For the first time, Lin Nan saw thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, going to Babao Mountain to see him off. They were all young people, and the coffin was covered with a red flag.

…

"Director Lin, can you help me get some movie tickets?"

When he returned to the company, Lin Nan was surprised by the employee's request.

"Transformers?"

When I asked this question, everyone was nodding.

"Is it difficult to buy?"

“It’s so hard to get a ticket, and the scalpers have made a lot of money.”

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Lin Nan has been staying at China Film Studio during this period, and he didn't pay attention to this when looking at the later stages.

"The domestic box office on the first day was 22.4 million, what do you think?"

This data is amazing, not weaker than the time of "Golden Armor".

"You can calculate how many votes you need, and I will go to China Film and Television to sort it out for you."

Lin Nan said. This kind of thing can be done in one sentence.

It's just that this data from "Transformers" is a bit too scary.

That afternoon, Lin Nan helped people from the company reserve hundreds of weekend tickets from China Film.

He also inquired about the price of scalpers, which was more than ten times the profit.

On the second and third days, the box office of "Transformers" did not fall below 20 million.

Now the media is even more excited. This year's domestic box office record will most likely be an imported foreign language film.

Lin Nan also understands that this movie can be so popular due to the combination of childhood feelings and Hollywood special effects.

Who hasn't seen the "Transformers" cartoon as a child? Or maybe you’ve never bought an Autobot toy?

Major theater chains are constantly increasing their film schedules, which are rising every day, and every venue is still full.

Theaters are making a lot of money, but many film companies are panicking.

Facing powerful Hollywood special effects movies, everyone feels powerless.

If you have to face this kind of opponent all the time in the future, how will you survive?

as expected.

The film bureau called for another meeting. This time, all the people attending the meeting were film companies. Lin Nan asked Yue Jun to go instead of him.

He could all guess what it was going to say, technology, special effects, technology, hardware facilities...

It's nothing more than these, but every time it has little effect.

News of the "Insidious 2" project launch conference spread back to China.

Wen Tsai-ren did not lie. The production cost announced by Lionsgate was indeed US$20 million.

Now, both the domestic media and film and television companies looked at Lin Nan in the wrong way.

With a cost of 20 million US dollars, no wonder Lin Nan had to recover his share.

"If I had known, you shouldn't have agreed to them in the first place."

Many people comforted Lin Nan like this. It is unclear how many of them were sincere and how many were just pretending.

Only Lin Nan knew in his heart that the uncertainty of "Insidious 2", which cost 20 million US dollars, was too high.

Horror movies are not suitable for high investment, they should be in the low-budget category.

You will definitely not lose money if you sell out. As for how much you can earn from Lions Gate, it depends on God's will and has nothing to do with you.

Liu Yifei sent a photo to Lin Nan, showing her long, white and slender legs in hot pants.

But he looks very strong, with faint muscle lines.

"I get up every morning and run for 20 minutes. I also have to press my legs, lower my waist, do splits, and do push-ups, but I'm tired..."

Liu Yifei complained, but her tone was cheerful, and she obviously meant to show off.

"If you keep practicing like this, I'm afraid I'll be abused domestically in the future..."

"How can there be? I can't do it! Haha..."
