Chapter 1067

"Lin Dao Nan's first pure domestic hard-core sci-fi blockbuster *The Wandering Earth* released its first promotional short film and film trailer this morning:

In the deep, boundless, vast, and brilliant universe, a nearly dead planet is carrying all her children to escape the solar system; they are wandering alone together, working together to find a new home..."

"It is reported that the *The Wandering Earth* trailer short film was launched on the whole internet for less than two hours, and the number of clicks strongly exceeded 50 million; the realism of its sci-fi shots is shocking. Massive netizens and movie fans jokingly said: the hegemon of the Spring Festival season has been scheduled, no need to fight anymore."

"Multiple cinema lines clearly stated: during the Spring Festival season, 3D screen theaters will give priority to special effects films, and even IMAX giant screen theaters will all arrange for Lin Dao Nan's film *The Wandering Earth*.

Just because other films do not have high requirements for projection equipment, and *The Wandering Earth* belongs to a hard-core sci-fi blockbuster, naturally adapting to the top-level IMAX 3D giant screen;

There is a world of difference between its viewing experience and ordinary 3D screens and ordinary screens. If the audience wants to personally experience the most real *The Wandering Earth*, it is recommended to grab tickets for IMAX 3D giant screen theaters..."

Although Lin Nan was still in the *Mulan* crew in full swing, this did not affect the promotion and heat of *The Wandering Earth* at all.

The company only used one trailer short film to mobilize the viewing desire of a large number of audiences on the whole internet.

The reason for this is also very simple, one is Lin Dao's reputation over the years, and the other is the quality of the film. At least this short film is very great, it can be called the top level in the country!

China Film Group, Chairman La is having a headache at this moment.

He also saw the trailer of *The Wandering Earth* for the first time this morning, and it was truly very shocking.

To tell you the truth, his mentality has been shaken at this moment, this Spring Festival season is likely that no film can block *The Wandering Earth* head-on.

Including *Shanghai Fortress* controlled by China Film, compared with the former's trailer, the gap between the two... is indeed a bit of a gap.

Actually, the problem that makes him feel most distressed and annoyed is not this, but that the cinema lines under China Film and the cinema lines where he controls shares are openly rebelling;

This group of people does not agree to tilt screening resources to *Shanghai Fortress*, they want to prioritize *The Wandering Earth*!

This kind of thing where the person in charge of the cinema line under the group goes against the chairman is not the first time it has happened, when Han Sanping was in office, the latter was rebelled against by the cinema line once;

That time was a matter of the film distribution industry representing itself and the production industry fighting for interests with the cinema line; the former demanded to permanently increase the share ratio by two points.

And Han Sanping stood on the side of the China Film distribution company, because the distribution business income of China Film is far greater than the income of the cinema line business, so the cinema line under China Film

directly rebelled.

Led by the person in charge of the Xinganxian cinema line, a group of subsidiary cinema line general managers publicly reprimanded Han Sanping;

Accusing him of deciding without holding a board meeting to let 2% of the interests of the cinema line under China Film to the five major distribution companies, that is, the behavior of the cinema line side letting profit to the distribution side is against the rules. They do not accept it, will not execute it, and firmly oppose it!

This moment is just like that moment, but Chairman La is not Chairman Han.

Although the five major distribution alliances collapsed because of Huayi's backstabbing and traitorous behavior, and the cinema line side kept the 57% share ratio, Han Sanping also really suppressed the rebellion of the people below powerfully and moved the knife.

But now, Chairman La really can't do the domineering of his predecessor. Is it because he doesn't want to? No, he really can't do it!

He is tough, but a group of people in charge of subsidiary cinema lines are tougher than him, sticking their necks and disagreeing to tilt screening resources; saying why should the group's production be production, and the subsidiary's cinema line be cinema line, why should the subsidiary's cinema line provide a bottom for the group?

If this were a private enterprise, he, the chairman, would solve these thorns in minutes;

But it's hard to handle in a state-owned enterprise, because all the relationship networks are intricate, especially the people in charge of subsidiaries, each has a mountain, has a small circle, and almost all are iron positions.

"Forget it, ignore this group of thorns. You go notify the distribution company, the sum of the first-day comprehensive screening rates of the two films *Shanghai Fortress* and *The New King of Comedy* must be above 30 points."

"Okay, Chairman La."

After the secretary took the words, he hurriedly went out of the office. He saw the leader eating shriveled in front of the subsidiary today, so he was a bit like sitting on pins and needles at this moment.

Since *Mulan* started filming for nearly 3 months, the crew finally welcomed the first batch of people in the circle to visit the set.

Actually, from the day it started filming, the media and film people in the industry who wanted to visit the set never stopped, it can absolutely be called countless.

But Lin Nan has always had a rejecting attitude, until today these two: Director Ning, who is proud of the spring breeze, and the big screenwriter Xing, who is also full of peach blossoms.

After all, *Crazy Alien* is like a dark horse from outer space, having already killed through the New Year's film season, and is aiming for 3 billion in box office.

"If the box office is really 3 billion, then plus the previous patch ads and embedded ads, and copyright... hehe, Dirty Monkey can enter at least 700 million this time, work hard and it will be 800 million!"

Ning Hao walked on the withered yellow grassland with his arms around Lin Nan, and the laughter continued.

On the side, a group of main creators of the crew were also walking together, talking and laughing.

Looking up, the sky is very low, deep blue and deep blue. Looking far away, there are

hillsides, valleys, flowing streams... further away there are

snow-capped mountains, the scenery is really refreshing... This place is also an important location for *Mulan*.

"Then I wish you two a steady entry of 800 million here."

"Saying as if you and Yifei are much less than us? Our two families are only 10% apart." Ning Hao complained, then his tone changed suddenly, whispering to Lin Nan:

"Actually, 10% is indeed very 'much', very important. Although Huanxi only has 10%, Dong Ping relied on this 10% to fiercely cut a crop of leeks for the company."

"This is also the reason why Huanxi has so many big directors, but the market value is always hovering around 10 billion, and it can never go up. You cut leeks too frequently."

Lin Nan glanced back at Liu Yifei, Teacher Gong Li and the others, then complained to Director Ning quite disdainfully.

Seeing Ning Hao stunned, he shook his head with a smile, "It doesn't matter, Huanxi maintaining this volume is quite good. And Dong Ping's operation plan from the beginning was very clear, which is to make money from the financial market.

You have to admit, big directors' projects are like bait thrown into the stock market, there will always be schools of fish swimming over, swallowing the bait... Huanxi will always have at least one side earning money in the box office market and the financial market!"

Alright, Lin Nan was speechless.

Ning Hao's meaning is also very clear, that is, if he wants to make films well, he will use Dirty Monkey to control; at other times, he will hand it over to Huanxi and Dong Ping to control, and he will lie flat and wait for shareholders to share the account.

Don't say, this train of thought is quite like Lin Nan. Films that can make money but have questionable reputation, or films that are not optimistic but have to be invested because of human feelings, are all participated in the name of Shanhai Media.

On the side, five or six meters away, Liu Yifei and the others had already talked to Xing Aina about the plot of *Mulan*, especially Liu's voice was the clearest:

"According to the final plot setting, anyway, Teacher Gong Li and I will have a martial arts duel, it's on the battlefield... eh? It seems like this is Teacher Gong Li's first battlefield scene, right? It's really the first time! Riding a horse, wearing armor, holding long weapons..."

Ning Hao and his wife's visit to the set was not aimless.

*Crazy Alien* is sprinting towards 3 billion, their trip will not only add a fire to the former, but also create momentum for the release of *The Wandering Earth* in advance, handing over the baton...

On the 22nd, 23rd... 25th, in a blink of an eye, it was another 4 days.

On the morning of the 26th, the premiere of *White Snake: Origin* was hosted by Yue Jun and held high-profilely in Beijing. The Shiyue Culture team also stood on the stage throughout the process, appearing in front of the media lens.

Because *Monkey King: Hero is Back* was already a pearl in front, the heat of this animated film is naturally beyond reproach, attracting the attention of the whole internet. In general, the promotional purpose was fully achieved.

Of course, if it weren't for Jiang Jinfu stealing the headlines, I think the heat and topic volume of *White Snake: Origin* would definitely be even higher.

That's right, the former finally lost a lot of money in Japan, and then he was released.

And he posted a text on Weibo for the first time: one is to repent and apologize to his fans, and the second is to announce his withdrawal from the film and entertainment industry, from then on no longer an actor, no longer a public figure.

How to describe it? He can also be considered to have left himself face, after all, the industry is already a consensus of factual banning.

Lin Nan Film Industry.

After many days, Xiao Yang came over again. His itinerary was still very low-key, taking the elevator directly from the negative first floor, extremely confidential.

Of course, unlike last time, he brought his agent this time. Hmm, the two of them were in a state of excitement, agitation, and enthusiastic laughter from the moment they appeared.

"This is the director's employment contract and the actor's employment contract, after careful inspection, if there is no objection, you can sign it directly." Jiang Xuerou pushed the two sets of four contracts to Xiao Yang and his agent, and said.

It can be seen that Xiao Yang is indeed a smart person, and his agent is the same. After getting the contract, the former didn't read it at all, but went straight to the signature page, signed his name, and pressed his fingerprint.

"Director Jiang, no need to look." A moment later, Xiao Yang pushed back the two contracts with a smile.

"Fine, whatever you want. However, the director's salary is only 2 million, don't complain about it being too little afterwards." Jiang Xuerou teased.

"There is actually 2 million? We never thought about asking for salary, the company can give this opportunity to let me handle a realistic theme film, I am already very grateful.

After all, the company is taking risks, how can I still be qualified to talk about salary?" Xiao Yang's acting is not bad, a look of shock and surprise. His agent sat on the side, also nodding with a full face of smiles.

Well, Jiang Xuerou couldn't help but nod. An actor with this kind of emotional intelligence can indeed be promoted more. "Alright, then let's talk about some digressions next, words outside the contract."

Hearing this, Xiao Yang and his agent immediately had a serious look, "Director Jiang, you say."

"Although you are not from the orthodox film and television director major, you are also a graduate of the film advertising director major of the Fine Arts Department.

In other words, you can be considered a proper professional director of the Film Academy. I think the pursuit of being a film director must be greater than just being an actor, right?"

"There is no student who graduated from the film director-related major of the Film Academy who doesn't want to be a film director. But Director Jiang, you are clear, the opportunity is too few, 99% of graduates have no opportunity.

Even if you become famous as an actor, it is very difficult to pursue your initial dream, after all, the cost is too high; without the backing of a big

company, you can only make small troubles, shoot some low-cost comedies or youth films..." Xiao Yang's expression and attitude were abnormally serious and solemn, speaking his heart out bluntly.

"So, for this *Sheep Without a Shepherd*, please treat it seriously."

In an instant, Xiao Yang and his agent understood the meaning in Jiang Xuerou's words. The two were shocked, and then surprised, incomparable surprise.

"Don't worry, I will definitely use all the inventory in my stomach and the accumulation in my brain over the years, even if I die, I will die at the shooting scene, die in front of the monitor..."

Ignoring Xiao Yang's swearing, Jiang Xuerou continued to add with a smile, throwing out the final temptation:

"If the feedback after *Sheep Without a Shepherd* is released is not bad. Then the company will continue to cooperate with you, at least you will be one of the new directors we support. To say something unmodest, there are really too many resources, and not enough directors.

Especially Lin Dao, he has to temporarily stop filming, hmm, and has to prepare for the director competition of the Winter Olympics... This makes it even more stretched."

"Hmm? Lin Dao wants to stop filming?" Gossip news is always the first to attract attention.

"If you don't have children, the two of them will be swept out by their parents and elders, hahaha."

*Mulan* crew, in a blink of an eye, it was the 28th.

The Mulan played by Liu Yifei is already a low-level general who leads 800 people, and it is also the first time to face the army of Zou Zhaolong, the Rouran general.

The result is naturally fighting while retreating, and Mulan's side even took some advantage.

Especially Mulan's personal bravery, even able to compete with the enemy general played by Zou Zhaolong, general against general without losing...

Just this fight scene, it took a whole morning to be barely qualified. But according to Lin Nan's idea, it is to keep one, and continue filming in the afternoon.

"Brother Lin, the news from Hollywood came in the morning, the entire Chinese film and television circle is in a boiling state at the moment..."

Following the large army of location shooting back to the crew, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and others heard Han Jia's report, she and Teacher Gong Li were in a rest state today and didn't follow the crew out.

Hearing this, Lin Nan had a shock, and he, Liu Yifei, and Zou Zhaolong all hurriedly sat in the rest area and opened the news.

Sure enough, the entire Chinese film and television industry, no, the entire Southeast Asian film and entertainment industry is in a state of fanaticism. However, the voice on the domestic internet is the exact opposite—overwhelming boycott!

"Transferred from Hollywood Film Daily:

At noon on the 27th, Los Angeles time, which is early morning on the 28th, domestic time, Marvel Studios under Disney released an announcement for the new film in the superhero series;

The superhero film *Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings* is officially set up, the initial investment

budget is as high as 150 million US dollars, the starring and core supporting roles will be publicly cast for Chinese and Chinese descendants globally..."

"It is reported that 'Shang-Chi' is one of the superheroes under Marvel Comics, first appearing in *Marvel Special Edition* Issue 15 (December 1973 edition);

His father Zheng Zu (alias Fu Manchu) is a Chinese setting, a super villain under Marvel Comics, and also first appeared in *Marvel Special Edition* Issue 15; but this character image has a wanton smearing and demonization of Chinese from the fundamental design..."

Resources, are indeed the top-level resources.

No one can deny the global influence and popularity of Marvel's superhero films, undoubtedly, this is the world's top-level film resource!

So, such a film resource that is publicly cast for Chinese and Chinese descendants naturally makes the entire Chinese film and entertainment industry and even the entire Southeast Asian film circle in a state of rushing and impatient.

As for the insulting nature? That is a matter on the internet, no one in the film industry cares.

In front of this level of cake, those insults, the demonization of Chinese problems, are all small problems.

From top-level big names to the eighteenth-tier, in the eyes of 80% or 90% of actors and stars, these are not problems.
