That year Huayu

The box office of "Painted Skin" reached 220 million at the end of the second week.

Andy Lau's "The Dragon Takes Off Its Armor" is in a rather obvious decline. After the first 40 million, it has been languishing.

Various theater chains have begun to flexibly adjust their film schedules.

With the help of Liu's mother, Liu Yifei changed into a light blue petal-shaped scale tube top dress, with a black ribbon tied around her upper body and a silver necklace around her neck, making her exposed skin even more delicate and white.

Lin Nan watched from the side and nodded from time to time.

As long as she doesn’t wear matching outfits, Liu Yifei will not disappoint.

There is no girl who doesn't like skirts. Liu Yifei looked in the mirror and was obviously very satisfied.

"How's it going? Does it look good?"

"Well, it's very good." This skirt matches Liu Yifei's temperament very well.

"Sissi, we're leaving." Liu Xiaoli shouted at the door.

"Then I'll leave first, hurry up." Liu Yifei told Lin Nan, then lifted up her skirt and walked out carefully.

"Go ahead, I'll be there soon."

…………

Huayiding's place is very particular, Chaoyang Park.

The open-air press conference is prepared for a large number of guests and media.

After all, this is a co-production and there will be a large number of foreign actors and filmmakers in attendance.

Lin Nan, wearing a black suit, was cracking melon seeds in the waiting area, with Huang Xiaoming and Ning Hao beside him.

"There are so many artists coming and going, but the three of us eating here feel pretty good," Ning Hao said with a smile.

"I actually want to pay attention to my image, haha." Huang Xiaoming added.

"This is the waiting area. Isn't it just for resting, eating and drinking? Otherwise, why would there be so much food?" Lin Nan pointed to the fruits in the distance.

At this time, someone came over and said, "Brother Xiao Ming, get ready."

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Director Lin and Director Ning will see you later."

There was a steady stream of people on the red carpet.

It is worthy of being held by Huayi itself, and many of its artists are here.

Minkoff brought his Chinese wife, who is said to be a descendant of Confucius.

The main creators walked on the red carpet, with Jackie Chan and Jet Li holding a little girl, alongside other leading actors such as Liu Yifei and Li Bingbing.

"That seems to be Li Lianjie's little daughter?" Ning Hao said.

"No wonder. Let's go, it's our turn."

"Painted Skin" is being released, and the moment Lin Nan walked on the red carpet, she was the focus of everyone's attention.

This month, the box office record of domestic movies is very likely to be refreshed and enter the era of 300 million yuan.

"Everyone is calling your name, I'm just here to foil them." Ning Hao muttered.

"You're welcome."

I hurriedly walked through the red carpet and entered the main venue. There were indeed many foreigners.

I didn't notice it just now, but Li Bingbing's outfit was a bit bold, with his entire back and buttocks exposed.

"Is this the Beijing Film Studio's studio set up here to hold a premiere?" Ning Hao clicked his tongue in surprise.

…

Wang Zhongjun pointed out the above, and when asked if there would be a sequel, he bluntly said that the bottom line of this movie's box office is 50 million US dollars.

If the global box office is less than US$40 million, it is an investment failure and Cheng and Lee's second collaboration will be shelved.

If it reaches 50 million, Jackie Chan and Jet Li will appear in the sequel. If the box office revenue of 70 million US dollars is recovered within two weeks, there will definitely be a sequel to Double J.

Lin Nan smiled from time to time in the audience.

The movie begins, and the scene unfolds from Chinatown...

Everyone watched it very seriously. After all, it was the first collaboration between Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

Lin Nan was also watching, but he was organizing words in his mind on what to say.

"Painted Skin" is so powerful that it is essential that he be asked questions.

Ning Hao frowned slightly and glanced at Lin Nan.

"If Jackie Chan or Jet Li had played the role, I think the movie would be okay.

But in the previous promotion, the momentum was overwhelming, and all the big words were said. Now, looking at it, it is obviously not right. Two international kung fu superstars acted out such a story? "

Ning Hao whispered to Lin Nan.

"This is the criticism of co-productions. The script is too weak, and the response at home and abroad may be very different..."

When the movie ended, many people applauded.

The microphone has been passed into the hands of the creators.

The first question is the sequel.

Li Lianjie's answer was more objective than Wang Zhongjun's, "I am also an investor in this movie. Whether or not to make a sequel depends not only on the box office, but also on word of mouth..."

The comment section is indispensable.

Lin Nan found that many foreign actors and filmmakers had very good reviews.

People in China are much more slick. They focus on certain points, such as special effects and actions, but don't evaluate them as a whole.

"Painted Skin has a very good reputation now, and it is also based on a traditional mythological theme. What does Director Lin think of "The King of Kung Fu"?"

Ning Hao was also curious about what Lin Nan would say.

"I think the actors performed well, but the script limited them."

After Lin Nan's words came out, the field was quiet for a second.

Anyone who cares can understand what this means. The plot is too bad and even a bit mentally retarded. Who said the screenwriter is a foreigner?

Wang Zhonglei made a joke and ignored Lin Nan's words.

Jackie Chan and Jet Li both smiled helplessly on the stage. They have made so many movies, and they all understand the shortcomings of "The King of Kung Fu".

"What you said will definitely be top news after today." Ning Hao said.

Lin Nan said nothing, his goal had been achieved.

When the reception started, Wang Zhonglei came over with a cup in hand.

"Director Lin, what you just said was reckless."

"Mr. Wang, you are also a movie maker. You should know if what I said is right. Besides, I didn't say clearly that the script was not good.

It's just that your publicity was too big, and the finished film will not live up to what was said in the publicity. The reviews abroad may be good, but it's hard to say domestically.

The actors don't take the blame. "

Lin Nan emphasized the last sentence, and Wang Zhonglei could understand what it meant.

"It's too difficult to balance both sides of a co-production. Huayi wants to be listed on the market, and foreign reviews are more important..."

What Wang Zhonglei said was very reasonable.

…

"Is the plot of this movie really bad?" Liu Yifei frowned.

"It's just average, but when Jackie Chan and Jet Li are cast, it seems a bit inferior.

It has nothing to do with you, you did a great job. "

Lin Nan looked at the time and said, "I have to go to Hollywood. I'm leaving now. You go to Auntie's place."

"Well, then give me news when you arrive."

…

China Film's car was already waiting outside. This time, Lin Nan was accompanied by a vice president and two assistants. The former was Han Sanping's former secretary.

The boss was promoted to chairman, and he also became vice president, but his ability is definitely sufficient.

"Director Lin, I have to thank you again this time."

"You're welcome, are we all old acquaintances?"

A few hours later, everyone was already on the plane.

In domestic news, reports appeared about the premiere of "Kung Fu King".

"The King of Kung Fu premiered and received rave reviews."

"Director Lin Nan, the script of the film is suspected to be poor..."

…………

A good man has three gangs, Lin Nan understands this very well.

So among the investors, there is Lions Gate.

Paul is the representative of Lions Gate, and foreigners also understand acquaintance diplomacy.

""Insidious 2" will be released next month, and James is busy with it. You know, it's his first time directing a $20 million horror film..."

We all know that Lin Nan and Lions Gate work well together, but this is the first time we meet people from China Film. The foreigner at Lionsgate is indeed very enthusiastic.

"Lin, the boss asked me to convey my gratitude to you. Leon's movie will definitely make a profit."

"Then the distribution will be done when the time comes."

"Of course."

…

The people from China Film and Television went back to the hotel.

The Appian Way and Warner families can only come here tomorrow.

When Lin Nan saw Tom at Crystal Pictures, he couldn't believe his eyes.

It’s only been four months since I last saw him, and this guy has really lost some weight!

"Tom, what made you decide to lose weight? Are you a girl? You must have lost thirty pounds, right?"

Tom looked worried and ignored Lin Nan's teasing.

"Lin, let's get down to business. Are you sure Crystal Pictures will invest separately from you?"

"Separate. You will represent Crystal Pictures then."

"Okay, I get it."

Lin Nan was very curious about Tom's state, but couldn't figure out the reason.

The next day the men from Warner and the Appian Way came.

The budget made by Nolan's team has been calculated by several parties. It is 160 million US dollars, which is no problem.

Now it’s a matter of dividing the investment.

This was the first time someone from Warner met Lin Nan, "Lin, Nolan asked me to say hello to you on his behalf. The later stages of "The Dark Knight" are still a little bit off, and he can't leave."

Leonardo over there is also still working on "Shutter Island" and I heard that filming is about to be completed.

Both Warner and Lionsgate have global distribution capabilities, and they jointly obtained this business.

China Film Group is very embarrassed because they really have no competitiveness outside the country.

With the help of Lin Nan, with 15% of the investment, he obtained the authority to share the box office accounts in Asia.

The final investment division is: Warner 25%, Crystal Pictures 25%, Lionsgate, China Film and Appian Trail each 15%, and Lin Nan 5%.

"This is a top-notch commercial film in the world. Should we consider the issue of actors? No.

If you can only choose Hollywood, you have to consider other places, such as Asia..."

Old God Paul said on the ground.

The eyes of the people in China Film Academy suddenly lit up.

Lin Nan and Tom looked at each other with question marks in their eyes.

"I think it makes sense."

The people from China Film Group quickly nodded in agreement, thinking that there would be an unexpected gain this time.

"How about letting Lin Nan play a role, haha..."

Tom rolled his eyes and began to grin.

…………

Lin Nan and Tom attended Ryan Reynolds' engagement ceremony together. Scarlett was upright, youthful and beautiful at this age.

On the 18th, "The King of Kung Fu" was first released in North America, and the reputation was really good.

Lin Nan made a special call and asked Paul that Lions Gate was also the distributor of this movie.

The result is that the box office is also very good.

Whether in North America or Southeast Asia, it is at the top of the box office list.

Huayi did it by weakening the Eastern culture in the film in order to balance the cultural differences between the East and the West in the film.

Lin Nan didn't know how to evaluate Hua Yi's behavior. Maybe foreigners would like the weak plot, but domestic audiences would definitely feel like they were cheated.

Suddenly, Lin Nan figured it out. This movie had a purely commercial purpose from the time it was initiated.

How much box office can the domestic market contribute? In their eyes, the global market is the key.
