That year Huayu

The news that "Inception" was going to open auditions in China was like detonating a depth charge.

"The King of Kung Fu" took in 16 million at the box office on the first day, 18 million on the second day, and 20 million on the third day...

What followed was a large number of boos from the domestic audience.

Many people found out what Lin Nan said at the premiere not long ago: the script was weak.

"The script is weak, it's simply rubbish. How can a foreigner write a traditional Chinese mythology well..."

"The storyline is weak, and the fight scenes between Jackie Chan and Jet Li are weak and not exciting at all."

"This kind of film can only deceive foreigners, not us..."

Domestic public opinion has turned to the script and director, and this result is the best.

Although the scolding and ridicule continued, it did not affect the box office growth of "The King of Kung Fu" at all.

It was introduced on the first weekend and grossed 80 million.

At this time, the North American box office exceeded 35 million US dollars.

An official agency stated that this film achieved a breakthrough in the films of Jackie Chan and Jet Li in balancing the tastes of Eastern and Western audiences.

The direct manifestation is that the movie-watching experience of domestic audiences is sacrificed to make up for it in overseas markets.

"In the eyes of domestic movie fans, this movie is a bit intellectual, but for overseas audiences, especially North American audiences, it just fits the taste."

Liu Yifei didn't understand. She had worked very hard, why was this happening?

"This is a commercial film, with Jackie Chan and Jet Li in the lead, and it does need a top-notch script, but "The King of Kung Fu" does not meet this requirement.

You and Li Bingbing are just two green-leaf characters, and criticism cannot reach you. "

Lin Nan and Wang Zhonglei reminded them not to blame others casually. The latter knew who he was talking about.

Sony wants to buy the broadcast rights of "Painted Skin" in the island country, and China Film Group went to negotiate on behalf of several producers, which is another huge profit.

…

"The evaluation in China is very bad now, saying that we have deceived the audience and fans..."

"Where's the box office?"

"Not bad, the domestic box office is expected to reach 200 million, and overseas is even better." Wang Zhonglei replied.

"Then why do you care about those comments? This film is not only for domestic viewing, so don't care about them."

Wang Zhongjun gave instructions.

"What about the second part?"

“We’ll talk about it after it’s released.”

…………

At the end of "The King of Kung Fu", Jin Yanzi, played by Liu Yifei, also appeared on the streets of the busy city.

Lin Nan knew that this was paving the way for a sequel, but judging from the current situation, there would be no sequel.

Minkoff's team, including the screenwriter, has been wildly targeted by domestic fans recently, and the former has really paid attention to these negative comments and abuses.

As a result, the sequel plan was stillborn.

Li Bingbing is the beneficiary of this movie. Through "The King of Kung Fu", he successfully entered the Hollywood horizon.

The image of the "white-haired witch" is highly regarded in North America. The long silver hair flying in the wind during the volley fight and the "hair flip" used in the decisive battle have become the targets of imitation by many female viewers.

China Film Group just slapped fans in the face and didn't say it got several roles in "Inception", nor did it say whether they were male or female.

As a result, many people came to Lin Nan, who asked him to be both a screenwriter and an actor.

"Don't ask me. China Film Group is responsible for this matter and will announce it when the time comes."

No matter who asked, Lin Nan's reply was the same, go find Director Han.

He was right, this matter was taken care of by the China Film Group at that time, but they were only responsible for organizing auditions.

The media from cross-strait, three places, including overseas, are divided into three parties in terms of evaluation of "The King of Kung Fu".

The critics speak fiercely, mostly from the mainland, the praise faction mostly comes from overseas media, and there is also an inclusive faction.

Lin Nan found the analysis of some media in Hong Kong very interesting: "The King of Kung Fu", a co-production, is like the shadow puppet performance of "The Lion King" or the Peking Opera version of "The Three Musketeers". When trying to balance, it is inevitable It's mediocre.

Something happened to Kang Honglei's crew, and there was an accident in the explosion scene.

Yue Jun rushed to the scene. It was indeed an accident. Fortunately, he had insurance.

Tang Dynasty announced the casting of "Sword and Sword III" to the outside world. It has been going around for a long time, with the leading role being supplemented and the roles being swapped.

The final list is still the same.

Lin Nan had to admire Yang Mi. Hu Ge recommended her once, and during the audition, she got Li Guoli's approval.

Coupled with the online voting rankings, fan support, and perhaps considering Hu Ge's feelings, Cai Yinong finally agreed.

"It's really interesting."

The box office of "The King of Kung Fu" has grown almost monopolistically amid negative reviews.

Lin Nan looked helplessly at the countless greeting messages in Penguin.

There are many calls and text messages every day.

The "Inception" thing made the industry go crazy.

How many people want to know immediately the audition time, audition requirements, and the role they are auditioning for.

Lin Nan has been staying at home these days and not going anywhere because there are many people in the company blocking him.

There are advantages to being close to the water. Liu Yifei got the script and is working on it.

…………

Chen Kaige held a closing banquet for "Mei Lanfang" and specially invited Lin Nan, but he declined. I heard that it was planned to be released during the Lunar New Year this year.

The Palme d'Or director's reputation is not false. At the closing banquet, Chen Kaige told the media that the copyrights in South Korea and other places have been sold, and the price is not low.

"This trophy is enough to last a lifetime."

You should win an award as early as possible. The term "late bloomer" is said to be a compliment, but only the person involved knows the sadness in it.

The atmosphere of the Olympics is getting stronger and stronger, and there are only one hundred days left.

The official held a selection of outstanding Olympic songs in the Ancestral Temple. It was like a concert, with hundreds of stars on stage, and the scene was grand.

In the last few days of April, Warner, Lionsgate and other companies announced new film plans.

"Warner, Lionsgate, Appian Trail, Crystal Pictures... plus China Film and Lin Nan, what a big battle!"

"Inception" is a top project even in Hollywood.

When the news came back to China, it was much more detailed this time than Han Sanping's few words before.

Film and television companies and brokerage companies in the industry are all eager to see it.

How many actors and stars are waiting for news from China Film.

"Lin Nan only has 5%. Even China Film Academy can't influence the results of the audition, but he can?"

Wang Zhongjun sneered.

"Then when the time comes, let all the artists give it a try?"

"Well, let's all try."

Regardless of whether they have any acting appointments, almost everyone is staring at China Film, waiting for them to notify them of the audition.

Lu Zheng called one after another without any useful reply.

"Uncle Lu, there's no point in being anxious now. It's better to wait for the news."

Jing Tian had just returned from the filming of "A Woman's Epic" when he heard about "Inception".

I don’t want to be fake, but I don’t even know whether the audition role is male or female, so there’s no point in rushing.

"It's useless to be anxious, but if you can know something in advance, it will definitely be good for you."

Several major domestic brokerage companies are inquiring, including Huayi, Chengtian, Huanrui...

Including Ying Huang and Wang Jinghua who established her own business.

Every time at this time, Zhu Yawen would always be asked a few questions by Wang Jinghua.

"I really don't know. But I am quite interested in him participating in the show in person. This is the first time since "Warm and Bright".

Everyone may have forgotten that he used to be from the acting department, haha..."

…

Liu Xiaoli hurried home and saw her daughter sitting alone in the garden.

There are small snacks on the table, and the cat is in his arms, turning over something from time to time.

"Sissi, did Lin Nan tell you about that drama? It has spread outside..."

Liu Yifei raised her head, with a smile on her face, and looked at Mother Liu walking over, "Here, here."

As he spoke, he picked up the script with one hand and shook it.

"You don't even know to tell me, it makes me worry." Liu Xiaoli complained and walked up.

“How many roles are available for audition?”

"I don't know, he didn't tell me. He just gave me the script and asked me to read it first. It's a very interesting story."

Liu Yifei didn't say it directly. There were only two female characters with a lot of roles in the script, and she must have been one of them in the audition.

"You took it as a script. This is the script."

Liu Xiaoli was reluctant, but with a gentle expression on her face, she smoothed her daughter's long hair and asked, "Can't he decide?"

"Well, they all require auditions. What he can help me with is giving me the script."

Liu Yifei looked very happy. She hoped to be in the same movie as Lin Nan.

"During the audition, let him go with you?" Liu Xiaoli suggested.

"No, others will gossip about you."

Seeing her daughter's firm look, Liu Xiaoli was speechless.

After the news from Warner came out, Lin Nan was very busy.

He is a screenwriter, and many people want to learn about the main characters from him.

Lin Nan was impressed by the brain circuits of these people. They were all human beings.

Regarding Lin Nan acting in a movie again after five years, it is still a Hollywood blockbuster, and the media's evaluation is very good.

In the penguin colony, many people were joking.

"I finally remembered, I used to have a classmate named Lin Nan, haha..."

"I told the crew that I was Lin Nan's classmate, and the cast asked me why I changed my career to acting, but I really studied acting..."

"Iron Man" was released, but it did not affect "Kung Fu King" at all. The latter successfully exceeded 100 million and continued to grow rapidly...

China Film Group announced the audition details for "Inception" to the outside world.

Female character, one of the main actors.

Applicants for the audition are required to have participated in at least one theatrical film.

In early May, Christopher Nolan and some production staff will come to Beijing for auditions.

There was a sensation in the circle. In this industry where actresses are fiercely competitive, no one is willing to miss such an opportunity.

The actor was very helpless. There was only one male role in the relationship, and it was assigned to Lin Nan!

A large-scale production worth 160 million US dollars, with Nolan, Leonardo and Lin Nan, and global distribution.

The combination of these points is simply a poison with extreme temptation for actresses, and there is no resistance at all!

In the last three days, I shamelessly asked for a monthly pass.

Let me put it all together, thank you all.
