That year Huayu

Chapter 49 Speaking

During this time, Liu Yifei traveled between school and home. She was at school on Saturdays and Sundays and at home during the week. There were professional teachers on both sides for training, so she seemed very busy.

"It's rare to see you during the week, why are you so depressed?"

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, who was slightly frowning.

"In recent training, I can't hit a slightly higher note, or it's hard to maintain it, so I thought I'd ask the teacher. She's an associate professor."

"What should I do? Teacher has no idea, right? Do you think that some of the people who are releasing records and albums nowadays are all-rounders and can even sing high notes? Don't you know what your own talents are?"

In Lin Nan's opinion, Liu Yifei applies her attitude towards acting to singing, but the high notes really depend on talent.

"But I just want to do a good job, is that wrong?"

Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan with her big black eyes, and it was obvious that the latter had guessed correctly.

"Yes, it's worth encouraging. But don't affect your mood. Jay Chou is so popular. Even if you ask him to try a professional tenor, he still won't succeed."

Lin Nan gave an example.

"How can you give an example like this?"

Liu Yifei said this, but there was already a smile on her face.

"By the way, Mr. Wang from Huayi recently came to see my mother again. They want to sign me, and they have done so before."

"I guess Auntie is still not sure?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.

Liu Yifei nodded, "My mother and godfather planned for me to stop filming TV series and develop my career on the big screen, but Director Feng currently has no roles suitable for me."

"That's right. I heard that a big drama is being worked on. There won't be any other news soon."

"Aren't you very busy? Why do you have time to come to school?"

Liu Yifei thought of something and asked. She sent text messages to Lin Nan in those two days, but Lin Nan never replied. A few days later, she said she was too busy and forgot about it.

"I just feel like I should come. I'll meet you now."

Lin Nan didn't care about Liu Yifei's weirdness at all and said with a smile.

"Huh, considering your box office success, I don't have the same experience as you."

The two of them took a walk around school. Liu Yifei was full of expectations for the big screen and had even begun to think about making a movie with Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. Lin Nan admired her brains, she really dared to think about it.

The daily box office of "Stone" gradually declined, and as Lin Nan expected, it dropped to six figures on the 18th, which also indicated that it was ready to be released.

Lin Nan was very straightforward and decided to release the film after the 20th, so that he could earn as much as he could and there would be no need to worry about the minutiae.

From the 1st to the 20th, "The Stone" was lucky and picked a good schedule with almost no competitors. The final box office was locked at 154.68 million.

It was even released on Hong Kong Island two days earlier than in the mainland, for a total of 16 days, with a box office of 11.6 million.

When these two figures were fixed in the headlines of various media, everyone's first reaction was almost the same: Lin Nan made a fortune.

Many boring insiders have already calculated Lin Nan's profits. Excluding costs, the stupid Lin Nan made about seven times!

"Director Lin, does the company need investment?"

Lin Nan started to hear this sentence the day after the movie was released. Even Ning Hao's Bad Monkey had many people wanting to invest in it. He and Xing Aina thought about it again and again, but rejected them one by one.

Also in the entertainment news like Stone Box Office is the Cannes closing ceremony awards show.

Wang Xiaoshuai's "Green Red" was nominated for the Palme d'Or and Best Actor respectively, but in the end it won the Jury Prize, and the Best Actor also went to another company.

What interests Lin Nan is that this male protagonist first came into contact with movies when he was 18 or 19 years old. He was not a professional and won the Best New Actor in Berlin with "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle". His fourth film was directly nominated for the Best Actor at Cannes, although he did not win the Best Actor Award in Berlin. Medium, but already very powerful.

Looking at Wang Xiaoshuai's jury award again, Lin Nan thought of Gu Changwei's "Peacock" and couldn't remember who said: The second place is the biggest loser.

Talking about the jury award, it’s not just a foil for the Palme d’Or.

There are many directors in China who have won the Jury Prize, but why is it that only Chen Kaige stood on the altar directly after coming out of Cannes?

Because "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or, the film and the award mutually achieved each other and jointly established his status.

This time, Lin Nan's company will have to keep an eye on the box office split of "The Stone", but they won't delay it deliberately if they want to go to theaters. After all, Lin Nan has also made a lot of money for them, and he will rely on it to win the Silver Bear. "Into the Dust".

According to the urine characteristics above, a wave of seminars is indispensable.

Lin Nan and Ning Hao have both received the notice and will start working together when the crew of "Green Red" comes back.

One has won an award, and the other has just achieved high box office success, which is just right.

Of course, there are also directors and producers of other films to be released this year, as well as the heads of major theater chains, film companies, etc.

Lin Nan and Gu Changwei didn't hide away when they came back from Berlin, but they didn't expect to come back three months later.

The person who delivered the notice was Han Sanping, who was also one of the participants.

"This is a good thing. Don't always find it troublesome. Show your face in front of the leaders more often. No matter how many people ask for it, you won't get it."

On the issue of attitude, Han Sanping's preaching is exactly the same as director Tian Zhuangzhuang.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I promise to actively participate and won't slack off."

Lin Nan quickly bowed his head and surrendered.

Within two days, the seminar began, the bureau started to take action, and the association organized manpower.

When we arrived at the scene, we saw that there were many actors attending the meeting, mainly several big directors, and the crew was more or less followed by several major actors.

Outside, Ning Hao and Lin Nan met Wang Xiaoshuai, surrounded by male and female actors.

"Congratulations to Director Wang for winning the Cannes award."

The two came forward to say hello.

"Thank you, and congratulations to you, "The Stone" is a box office hit."

Wang Xiaoshuai seems to be in a good mood. Although he missed the Palme d'Or, he is already satisfied.

"Let me introduce to you, these are the leading actors of "Green Red", Gao Yuanyuan and Li Bin. These are directors Lin Nan and Ning Hao."

Wang Xiaoshuai introduced both sides respectively.

"Hello, Director Lin, hello Director Ning."

"Hello, although "Green Red" has not been released in China yet, your Zhou Zhiruo is still fresh in my memory."

Ning Hao shook hands with Gao Yuanyuan and said by the way.

Lin Nan stood next to Ning Hao and smiled. This guy was quite good at chatting.

"Let's go in quickly." Wang Xiaoshuai suggested.

While we were talking, several more cars arrived. They were all members of the association and actors who appeared on the screen from time to time.

As for the leader, he must be the last to arrive.

One-third of the venue is composed of actors, directors, and practitioners with established organizations, and the rest are private enterprises and filmmakers.

Director Chen's speech was full of private information, and he talked about his "The Promise". From art and magic to large-scale production and market prospects, not to mention, the people who listened were excited.

"Ride Alone, Thousands of Miles" seems to have been filmed. It is not a commercial film.

Zhang Yimou put it tactfully. He believes that what can make the industry flourish rapidly is high-box office movies. Audiences will continue to spend money to buy tickets if they enjoy watching them. Only when theaters and production companies can make money will they continue to invest. , and can also attract more funds to come in.

When it comes to high-box office movies, there is no doubt that some veteran directors are offended.

Lin Nan suddenly felt that Chen Kaige was quite cunning, not only bringing in private goods but not offending anyone.

The speeches of film companies and theater chains are very professional. After all, they are the upstream and downstream of the industry and are closest to money.

Today’s theme is industry development, which in layman’s terms means money.

The most named ones are film companies and theater chains. The major film groups are not that big of a deal. They have always worked hard, but there are too many people and movies that need help.

Although movies are high-return, they are also high-risk. Several major national groups are often stretched thin, so they have also begun to deploy the entire industry.

The theater chains have made much bolder statements, especially several private enterprise theater chains, especially Wanda, which directly and clearly stated that the company will continue to expand the scale of the theater chain, and the minimum number of theaters to be built and how much money to invest every year. The leaders smiled when they heard this.

"It's so rich."

Ning Hao whispered to Lin Nan.

Before Ning Hao could say the second sentence, he was named. As the director of "Stone", he could not escape this disaster.

Lin Nan sat next to Ning Hao, motionless, trying to be as low-key as possible so as not to attract attention.

This guy keeps his secrets when he opens his mouth, saying that there is too little support for new directors now, and he blames all the old directors and big directors. Only those few can make hits, and they are too busy to handle it. We should increase the support for new directors. , allowing failure.

He used all his wealth to film "Incense" and went to his grandma's house. If Lin Nan hadn't given him a chance, he would have been working on another crew by now, at most as an assistant director.

"Well, it's a good suggestion to support newcomers. If the industry wants to develop well, new forces need to continue to join."

The leader above nodded and said.

After being betrayed by Ning Hao, Lin Nan's name was indeed mentioned above.

On this occasion, Lin Nan couldn't make any joke about whether rich or poor people only take care of the people around them.

"The success of "The Stone" has had a very positive impact on the market. I believe that various theater chains have also benefited a lot. There are not many movies like this that are cheap and can be popular. Lin Nan, do you have any suggestions for benefiting the industry market? Be bold. Say it."

The leader has completely blocked the escape route. What can Lin Nan say?

Replace the old pedants at the film festival? Officials want high-grossing commercial films to drive the market, but they exclude commercial films in terms of awards?

To put it bluntly like this is probably the way to die.

"I think what Director Zhang Yimou just said is good. First of all, we should support the development of commercial films. When foreign blockbusters come in, only domestic commercial films can take the lead."

Lin Nan could only say sorry to Director Zhang. I am trying to support you, but he is too inexperienced.

"Secondly, what Ning Hao said is really right. There is too little help for new directors now. For my first film, I took part of the funds myself. Shanghai Film Studio helped me, but my own part of the funds was still He earned back the money from selling the copyright of "The Blind Shaft" directed by Li Yang.

At the beginning, Shanghai Film Academy had the intention of helping me. As long as I received a share of the box office, the copyright was left to me. I am very grateful for this. "

At this point, the faces of those who came from Shanghai Film were all smiles. On the other hand, Mr. Han's smile was a bit forced. Many people knew that China Film rejected Lin Nan's investment request at that time.

"Finally, I don't know if you have noticed that our own domestic film festivals seem to be unfriendly to commercial films. Except for the first big-budget film "Hero", it is difficult for other commercial films to win awards at domestic film festivals.

If you go to a film festival, no matter how much attention you receive, there is a high probability that it will be used as a foil for unknown films in the end. "

Lin Nan wanted to just sneak through, but couldn't hold it back for a moment, so he said the last point, and Ning Hao was already tugging at his clothes.
