That year Huayu

"This should be the first time in domestic film history, right? After a film received the Long Label, it was censored again."

Facts have proved that if you go out and talk nonsense, you will indeed be "educated". Director Lou's "The Mystery of the Floating City" is like this.

The film, after receiving a release permit, is participating in the Venice Film Festival in recent days.

It is also the only Chinese-language film shortlisted for the official unit, "Un Certain Regard Module", and it is also the opening film.

For other directors, the most they can do is make a film that reflects the suffering of the people at the bottom of the country and the dark side of society, and then put it out for exhibitions.

This guy is fine. He just criticizes the film bureau and criticizes the domestic censorship system when he has nothing to do. He just openly says that he is being oppressed and suppressed.

As you can imagine, while still in Venice, the domestic producers received a notice from the bureau that "The Mystery of the Floating City" needed to be reviewed again.

"We have obtained a public release permit, and seeing that it will be released on the 19th next month, he may feel that it is stable? It is indeed the first time in China that it is being censored, and it sets a record!"

Lin Nan took some time out to get together with Ning Hao, Huang Bo and others, and chatted about several film festivals outside in the past two days.

Lu Chuan took "The King's Feast" to Toronto to hold the world premiere, but it seemed that there was no room for him in China.

The drafts were sent back more than a dozen times a day, as if a Chinese-language blockbuster had shocked the world, and he was very good at showing off!

"Anyway, I don't think this movie will make any waves."

Lin Nan leaned back in the chair and said contemptuously.

"So you prepared "囧" for him and asked Xu Zheng, a new director, to compete with him. No matter whether he wins or loses, Lu Chuan will not be able to take advantage?"

Huang Bo took a sip of beer and chuckled.

"You are also one of the leading actors after all. Be tough, how could you lose?" Ning Hao glanced at Huang Bo and interjected.

Lin Nan also pointed at Huang Bo and shook his head contemptuously.

"Humility, I'm being humble, okay!" The latter waved his hand and immediately defended.

"By the way, I just received an invitation to host this year's Golden Horse Awards ceremony as a guest.

Director Lin, we will see you at the Golden Horse then. I hope you and Yifei will win the grand prize. "

Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile. Huang Bo has been a frequent visitor to the Golden Horse in the past two years, "Okay, I'll bear with you."

…………

After "The Martian", Lin Nan formed Tiangong Colors, and Crystal Pictures was responsible for talent incubation.

In the past few years, Tiangong Color has also become the most prestigious film and television special effects company in the industry, with both large and small businesses continuing.

Until today, another company has made a strong announcement that it has successfully entered the special effects industry.

The entire film and television industry was caught off guard by Xiao Ma's announcement.

They teamed up with another Indian company to buy Digital Domain, a special effects company in Hollywood that had just filed for bankruptcy protection.

This special effects company founded by Cameron, acquired by Michael Bay and listed as a group, was once one of the top special effects companies in the world.

As soon as Lin Nan returned to the company, two managers from Yue Jun and Tiangong Color came over in a hurry.

In their view, Xiaoma's special effects business will be Tiangong Color's biggest competitor in the future.

"How much did they spend on it?" Lin Nan asked calmly.

"Xiao Ma teamed up with an Indian company and spent US$30.2 million to snap it up from dozens of companies.

They hold 70% of the shares and the other 30%. This is what Zhong Lifang said in an interview with the media today. "

Hearing this amount, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.

"A few months ago, the market value of this company was as high as 400 to 500 million U.S. dollars. You don't really think that someone else went bankrupt and it was only worth 30 million U.S. dollars, right? And that's the final price of the auction!

This is a special effects company. The most valuable things are people, equipment, technology, copyrights and business, and these will not depreciate. "

Hearing this, Yue Jun frowned instantly. He really didn't realize these things.

He was blinded by the overwhelming applause and cheers from the circle.

Lin Nan looked at the computer webpage, Xiao Ma's announcement and Zhong Lifang's speech, it was like a perfect omission.

The media reports in the circle are also extremely flattering. A large number of people in the industry look proud.

"Pony will become the second domestic film and television company with large-scale special effects production business, competing with Tiangong Color."

"Ms. Zhong Lifang, the president of Pony Pictures, personally admitted that the company has obtained all the core businesses of Digital Domain, including:

Film, visual effects, advertising production, avatar synthesis technology, two special effects studios in California and Vancouver, and co-production rights to the science fiction blockbuster "Ender's Game"..."

…

Lin Nan glanced at Yue Jun, who was obviously awake, and said contemptuously:

"Do you think it's possible to buy so many things with 30.2 million U.S. dollars? Are all the Hollywood movie companies out of their minds?"

"What Director Lin means is that they bought an empty shell?"

Lin Nan hesitated for a moment, then nodded:

"According to the gambling agreement, there are only 15 months left before the deadline for Pony to go public. However, this move is a bit too far-fetched.

Forget it, don't pay attention to them, the pony poses no threat to us.

At this moment, they are just gamblers, mortgaging all their assets and buying some other things other than gold and jade to achieve the purpose of bonus..."

…

Lin Nan thought of Zhong Lifang's recent travels, wooing many well-known directors, screenwriters and studios to sign contracts.

They even competed with Zhang Yimou Studio before, but failed. These were the chips and capital for their listing.

…

In September, all domestic movies have started a publicity war.

The first one to come onto the stage and face a host of imported films was "Sad Fairy Tale" produced by Enlight and starring Liu Shishi.

Tang people’s Weibo and the Weibo of Tang people’s artists are all promoting this movie.

A large number of Tang fans online clamored, shouted, and advocated to go into the theater to support this year's "Golden Eagle Goddess."

This movement is really a bit big. Many film companies in the industry are waiting and watching. Is this another A-list actress who can bring in box-office hits?

When Guangguang saw this situation online, it immediately expanded its publicity efforts based on the original publicity, hoping for good results.

On the day the movie was released, starting from the morning, the Internet and some media received positive reviews for the finished film.

""Sad Fairy Tale" was released and the audience was hooked!"

"Liu Shishi perfectly interprets the workplace life of urban white-collar workers and interprets romantic love stories..."

…

The praise received throughout the day surprised many people in the industry and looked forward to it.

Until the box office came out the next day... Good guy, it shocked a bunch of people.

"The box office of "Sad Fairy Tale" on the first day was 2.2 million, and the box office performance was extremely unsatisfactory."

"The attendance rate is low, the heroine's performance is dull and lackluster, and a large number of negative reviews have been deleted. "Sad Fairy Tale" is suspected of hiring trolls..."

…

"It's so funny to me. Yesterday the film was well received, but today it was slapped in the face at the box office."

Lin Nan wanted to know what Wang Changtian's expression was at this moment.

"Director Wang, he won't use the navy, right?"

Liu Yifei stepped on the floor with her bare feet and walked to Lin Nan in two or three steps.

"Director Wang probably won't. His face is worth more than this movie, but that's not necessarily true for others, haha..."

Tang Ren's specialty skills may offend Wang Changtian this time.

Because people who don’t know the truth will only think that the light is shining on the praise. This wave of operations has completely tarnished the reputation of the light.

The conflict between the actresses is now reflected.

On the front line, those with vengeance seek revenge, those without vengeance will step on them, and those on the second line are also being dragged down.

"This is probably the most popular A-list actress, but she has no box office appeal. Where is her usually huge fan base? Is it all fake?"

"The first movie I starred in was such a hit. The popularity of "Step by Step" hasn't passed yet, and I just won the Golden Eagle Goddess! With such high popularity, doesn't it have any box office conversion rate?"

"With such a low box office on the first day, she is destined to be box office poison. Which film crew will dare to use her in the future? Whoever uses her will die!"

"If it doesn't work out, just stay in Tangren and act in TV series. Don't get involved in the film industry. Leave it to other actresses..."

…

On the Internet, many fans of the actress attacked Liu Shishi with all kinds of ridicule and ridicule.

The next day, "Sad Fairy Tale" took in 2.1 million at the box office, and along with it, there were a lot of bad reviews.

The final result can already be seen from the two-day box office results, which is destined to be a loss.

The previous "Four Famous Catchers" was so beautiful, but the light is so embarrassing now.

Tens of millions of film investments were wasted just like that.

…

"Mr. Cai, Guangguang informed us that all subsequent publicity plans have been cancelled, and the scheduled programs... Shi Shi will no longer be needed."

Cai Yinong's heart skipped a beat when she heard the news. She knew exactly what those big companies were thinking.

From now on, it is basically impossible for Guangguang to give Liu Shishi the opportunity to be the heroine again.

Film companies in the industry are also very cautious when selecting actors. If they can't use Liu Shishi, then they won't.

People who work in this industry, especially film production companies, are more or less superstitious. The words "box office poison" on the Internet are too glaring.

The key is that Cai Yinong never expected that the box office of "Sad Fairy Tale" would be so bad.

So much so that "getting good reviews" has completely become an act of not having three hundred taels of silver here, and it has ruined the light.

"I know, go tell Shi Shi and ask her not to respond to this movie.

All media interviews are declined. This month, try to be as low-key as possible, waiting for the movie to be released..."

This is Cai Yinong's way of dealing with it, keep silent and wait until the wind has passed.

When the time comes, use the navy to find a topic to hype up. If it doesn't work, find a first-line actress to try to influence her. Liu Shishi will still be the first sister of the Tang Dynasty, a first-line actress.

"Okay, Mr. Cai."

…

Ye Ning called. They were planning to prepare a movie and asked Lin Nan if he wanted to participate.

"Mr. Ye, you should tell me what the project is first. When you first asked if you can join the team, I was confused!"

Lin Nan joked with a smile.

"Hey, can I still fool Director Lin? It's definitely a good project, the actor is big enough, and he's willing to reduce his salary..."

Next, I listened to Ye Ning talk for half an hour.

The script is being perfected, the male and female protagonists have been decided, and relevant departments will also participate in the filming and promotion.

The more Lin Nan listened, the more familiar he felt. Relevant departments? Which department?

"The heroine won't be Tiantian, right?"

Lin Nan subconsciously asked tentatively.

"Haha, Director Lin is wise, and the heroine is Tiantian."

Good guy, Lin Nan doesn’t even know what to say, it’s another movie!
