That year Huayu

Chapter 1190: No More Than Half a Small Target; Premiere...

"This morning, the costume drama "The Emperor's Industry" kicked off its casting. Producer and leading actress Zhang Ziyi personally attended the actor audition and selected potential collaborators..."

"It is reported that the drama is adapted from the online novel of the same name and is a popular IP. The investment budget is as high as 700 million yuan, and the planned filming number of episodes is no less than 100, and the planned casting period is 3 months!"

"The costume action martial arts blockbuster "Shadow", directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Deng Chao, Sun Li, Zheng Kai, Wang Qianyuan, Hu Jun, Wang Jingchun, Guan Xiaotong and others, was successfully completed at around 10 am this morning in the Bamboo Sea of ​​Qianshan Forest Park in XN City.

Assistant director Zhang Mo accepted the media interview on behalf of director Zhang Yimou and said that the film "Shadow" will be promoted overseas at this year's Venice International Film Festival; after the film is completed, it will consider competing in the three major European film festivals next year..."

"The movie "Secret Fruit" was released for 8 days, with a total box office of 7.95 million, and the daily revenue approached zero. It was a pity that it was taken off the screen early. Chen Feiyu, the son of director Chen Kaige, failed in his movie debut!"

About an hour before the film was completed, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Zhao had a public falling out on the set and quarreled in front of all the crew members.

Zhang Zhao wanted to release Shadow to the market in advance, but Zhang Yimou disagreed. After arguing with each other, the two finally got into a heated argument.

Director Zhang was rarely reserved and vented all his anger towards LeTV, even using dirty words.

"After all, the copyright of this film belongs to LeEco, not Director Zhang. But it is not uncommon for him to make Zhang Zhao bow his head.

After all, the post-production of the film still depends on Director Zhang, which also includes further publicity, sales of overseas copyrights and theatrical release.

But one thing is also true, that is, after this morning, the entire industry will know: Director Zhang Yimou and LeEco have had a head-on falling out and have completely broken off..."

At this point, Lin Nan's voice stopped abruptly.

Because a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, whether true or false: Could it be that Zhang Yimou did this on purpose? He wanted to send this signal to the outside world and the film and television industry? That is, he had cut off his relationship with LeTV!

"It has nothing to do with us. But in early September, you can watch the promotional video of Shadow at the Venice International Film Festival. I heard that this movie is in pure ink painting style."

Liu Yifei stroked the cat in her arms while talking to Lin Nan. She wrinkled her nose and bumped her head with Sanhua.

"Producer Liu is right." Lin Nan flattered him with a smile.

At this time, Liu Xiaoli, who had already changed her clothes and was ready to go out, came over from next door: "Xixi, put the cat down, we are leaving. Lin Nan, are you sure you don't want to come with us?"

"Mom, you guys just go. Xixi knows my preferences, leave it to her. I have to go to the company soon."

Lin Nan smiled and replied, Liu Xiaoli and her daughter are going to take people to see the furniture. Well, the budget should not exceed half of the small goal.

"Mom, you don't have to care about him. He doesn't have the patience." Liu Yifei complained about Lin Nan carelessly.

Well, Director Lin couldn't refute it at all, because he really couldn't stand this kind of thing that took a whole day.

And in terms of taste, he is indeed not as good as Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei. Of course, when compared with Liu Yifei, his taste in choosing clothes is an exception.

Amid the laughter of his wife and mother-in-law, Lin Nan chose to pack up his things and return to the company to continue working on the post-production.

…

Invitations for the premieres of films such as "The Founding of an Army", "Wolf Warrior 2", and "Eternal Love" have begun to be sent to people in the industry.

A week later, China Film Group’s tribute film will take the lead and kick off the second half of the summer season in the Great Hall of the People... The battle in the second half of the film market has just begun!

Huayi, Wang Zhonglei is back with news.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Youth should be able to pass the review and get a release permit around the middle of next month. All in all, we only need to wait another month."

"Are you sure?" Wang Zhongjun asked for confirmation.

"This is a clear reply from the three companies. There can't be any problem. Director Feng can now lead the publicity campaign with peace of mind. However, don't do something like what happened at Central China Normal University this time. It's easy to lose more than you gain."

Wang Zhonglei first responded to Wang Zhongjun, and then gave instructions to Feng Xiaogang.

The last time, it was the latter who came up with the idea, but what was the result? It went to pieces! Not only that, but he was also beaten up by Lin Nan and his gang... adding insult to injury.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I have a plan this time. You should tell me about the Golden Rooster Awards. We should have reached the stage of drawing up the nomination list." Feng Xiaogang changed the subject and asked about something he was more concerned about today.

"You should also keep your mind at ease. The nominations will be announced on this day next month. This time it won't just be the nominations."

Wang Zhonglei said confidently that in his opinion, Feng Xiaogang was a typical example of someone who had been fooled by the Golden Rooster so many times that he had a psychological trauma.

"Director Feng, we said we would help you get the Golden Rooster Award, and we will definitely do it. When has the group ever broken its promise to you?" With Wang Zhongjun's echo and emphasis, Feng Xiaogang nodded in acquiescence.

"It seems like the Venice International Film Festival's shortlist is coming soon, right?" Suddenly, Feng Xiaogang thought of another big award. He thought of Lin Nan from the Golden Rooster Award, and then thought of Venice...

"Director Feng, are you referring to Lin Nan's Marriage Story?"

"Yes. Last year, I chose the latter between Venice and San Sebastian International Film Festival for safety. But look at Lin Nan, he never considered Pu A..."

Facing Feng Xiaogang's sour sigh, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei fell silent, with a hint of contempt in their eyes. You are a coward, so don't envy others now, they will definitely be shortlisted!

"Forget it, let's talk about the progress of the script for Cell Phone 2..."

…

Lin Nan plunged into the post-production of "Dying to Survive". After working non-stop, four days passed in the blink of an eye.

It must be said that after 18 consecutive days, the progress of post-production editing was quite fast. Lin Nan estimated that it should be completely completed before the end of the month.

As for The Wandering Earth, it is really slow. Even if it is released according to the planned time, it will have to wait until May or June next year.

On the morning of the 19th, Ning Hao finally couldn't help but call Lin Nan, because he would be rushing to Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis with his family in the afternoon.

So, Director Lin was very considerate and drove to Bad Monkey.

"Hey, Yifei didn't come with you?" Lin Nan had just got out of the car after parking it when he was greeted by Xing Aina's question.

"She is packing her things at home. She will fly to Shanghai in the morning and have her second interview for Mulan tomorrow."

"Let's go there early and play for half a day?" Ning Hao interrupted with a smile.

"Yeah, that's right. She is very open-minded." Lin Nan was also happy. Taking advantage of the time after work to go shopping and have fun, this is Miss Liu's style.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them got down to business.

"Crazy Alien" will officially start filming tomorrow morning. Ning Hao's style is definitely different from Lin Nan's;

He doesn't work non-stop when filming, and allows actors to take time off to attend other events, but he doesn't allow them to overlap their roles.

Therefore, his shooting schedule is naturally longer, which is 5 months, which means it will be completed before the end of December.

As for the main filming locations of the film, they are Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis and Changsha, with a few shots flying to Paris and Moscow...

"During the time I'm filming, you can also give me some help and help me look at the script. I've been thinking about this a lot recently. I'm already 40, and if I put it off any longer, I'll run out of energy. If I don't win a big award in this life, all these years will be in vain."

"You're only 40 and you're already worried about not having enough energy to make a good movie? Then I think you really don't have enough energy! I've been saying to lie down and rest, but look at me, I'm getting busier every year and I can't stop at all..."

"Fuck you, how can I compare with you? You are so much younger than me, don't you know that? Awards support people, the more awards a director has, the more energy he has... If a director can only make money, then he is useless; he is not a director, but a pure businessman..."

"If you say this, you'll be spitted in the face by a bunch of movie directors. You're really greedy, haha..."

…

China Film Group.

"Boss La, all the guests invited to the premiere have responded, and no one is absent. Even Director Ning Hao, who is busy shooting a new film, will be represented by Producer Xing.

In addition, the General Political Department, the Bayi Military Region and other units have also returned the attendance list, as well as the leaders of the military... We need to carefully arrange the seating later..."

La Peikang listened to the secretary's report solemnly, but still felt a little stressed.

After all, this is his first time hosting a tribute film, and the first two were produced by Han Sanping.

Moreover, the performance and reputation of "The Founding of a Republic" and "The Founding of a Party" are very good, and they have both received awards; so when it comes to him, since they are both tribute films, there is naturally some pressure of comparison.

"Director Liu, you heard it too. It will be handed over to you and the crew the day after tomorrow." Looking up at Liu Weiqiang sitting on the sofa in the office, La Peikang solemnly warned.

"Don't worry, Mr. La. I can say responsibly that I gave my all to "The Founding of an Army."

Liu Weiqiang was quite confident, and he made the promise with a smile. Moreover, he was quite excited.

Because among so many film directors in Hong Kong, he is the only one who made a tribute film with this special significance.

If he handles it well, his status in the mainland film industry will undoubtedly become higher in the future, and he may even become one of the top directors.

Isn't it surprising that there are so many leaders coming to the premiere the day after tomorrow? Undoubtedly, this is the uniqueness and status of a tribute film!

"That's good. After coming down today, say hello to all the actors and be in the best spirits the day after tomorrow..."
