Chapter 126

In April, several domestic films that received attention started their premieres and public screenings one after another.

Xu Jinglei's *Go Lala Go! * was fully invested by China Film.

Although the investment amount was only 20 million, Han Sanping personally stood on the stage.

"Next, it is estimated that every movie China Film participates in, Director Han will personally sit in the town."

"Why?"

"Since *Avatar* was released in the mainland in January, there haven't been many domestic films that didn't lose money.

These nearly ten movies invested and released by China Film have also all lost money miserably..."

Lin Nan explained to Guo Fan.

*Future X-Cops* was the most miserable, with an investment of 200 million and a box office of less than 60 million.

It is precisely because of this reason that even a 20 million film is now starting to be valued by Han Sanping.

In the past, China Film would at most send a vice president, which was considered not bad.

Lin Nan glanced at Guo Fan; this guy now stays at Tiangong Color whenever he has nothing to do, watching those employees work, and chatting about special effects by the way.

"Didn't you say you were going back to school to listen to other majors' classes?"

"Sigh, I can't attend classes properly, there are people bothering me wherever I go."

Lin Nan understood; he was like this when he was in school, there were always people looking to climb relationships, make friends, and even quite a few were teachers from various colleges and majors.

Guo Fan has now emerged, and he must be a target for solicitation.

The connections and relationships in the circle come this way; staying in school makes it easier for people to "think about you".

"As you wish."

In Lin Nan's view, Guo Fan is also someone who is not keen on interpersonal socializing, similar to him.

…………

The first-day box office was 8.5 million; it seems this *Go Lala Go! * has hope of exceeding 100 million.

Over the past four months, China Film can finally be considered to have a profitable movie.

Yushu...

With the experience of 2008, the entertainment industry was much more active this time.

Liu Yifei took over Lin Nan's share and donated 1 million in the name of the two.

"Remember to ask them to issue a public welfare invoice."

Lin Nan cautioned Miss Liu on the phone.

"Mm-hmm, I know, I'm not stupid."

Since the Zhang Ziyi incident, anyone who truly donated money would ask for receipts or invoices, to save themselves from another "donation fraud gate" one day.

Lin Nan looked at the news online.

Various disaster relief, fundraising, and charity performance activities were held one after another.

Liu Yifei still chose the channel of the Children's Relief Foundation; she might really like children.

Judging from the data published online, most first-line actors and stars were 200,000 or 300,000, very neat;

A small number like Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were also familiar faces...

……

The current movie promotion method is different from before; promotion starts when filming begins.

Several highly anticipated films release some stills from time to time to attract the attention of netizens and audiences.

The location stills of *Under the Hawthorn Tree*, the makeup photos of *Sacrifice*, and the big-budget *The Warring States*.

This time's "Mou Girl" seems not very smart, giving people a silly feeling.

How to walk, Zhang Yimou taught hand-in-hand for two days, and she couldn't learn it!

*Sacrifice* is even more of a family affair for Chen Kaige, with his wife as producer, his eldest son as clapper, his youngest son participating, and Director Chen spent 120 million to build a small city.

What makes netizens most amazed is *The Warring States*, which is rich and powerful.

Just one scene of Sun Honglei's "falling into the water", spent hundreds of thousands to build a full-wood luxury bathroom, using hundreds of boxes of pure milk to complete the "fresh milk bath"...

Netizens directly called it extravagant!

Quite a few directors in the industry felt a bit regretful for missing out on the director position of *The Warring States*.

On the other side, China Film launched the latest round of the "Young Director Support Plan".

Lin Nan and Ning Hao were naturally excluded.

In Han Sanping's words, "Do you still need support? If I support you two, I'll have to write a self-criticism!"

When Lin Nan and the two went to support and sat in the audience, the atmosphere at the scene was interesting.

The people being supported on stage were not very "young" in age.

Jiang Wenli, Xu Jinglei...

Lu Chuan, this guy, was actually mixed in, really shameless.

…………

"Mimi, I stayed at Meiya for two years before, and I had quite a few contacts there. This is the script I got from there."

Ceng Jia handed a script to Yang Mi.

"But can the schedule be staggered? *Painted Skin 2* should be soon."

Yang Mi was a bit hesitant; she believed in Ceng Jia's vision, but she was looking forward to *Painted Skin 2* more.

"No conflict, they promised to adjust appropriately, after all, your status is there."

Ceng Jia said confidently; Yang Mi was the most famous among the four little flowers.

Of course, Liu Yifei was not among the little flowers.

"Then let me take a look?"

"Mm, you can take a look, this is a very interesting script. I heard from them that Tang Ren is also doing it, but the speed is very slow..."

After hearing Ceng Jia's words, Yang Mi understood; this is wanting to get ahead of Tang Ren?

"I'll read it first."

"As soon as possible..."

After Ceng Jia left, Yang Mi began to read the script. The story was not complicated, even a bit rough, but it won in being "dog-blood" and novel.

"If I guess correctly, the female lead on Tang Ren's side should be her..."

……

Yinghuang moved the *Ip Man 2* premiere forward by a week.

From the morning, the news websites were all full of news about the premiere.

The "I want to fight ten" from *Ip Man* was still vivid in their minds.

Now, the second one was finally coming.

"*Ip Man 2* premiere held in Beijing today!"

"The scene is grand, stars gathered..."

……

Lin Nan was not in a hurry at all. After closing the computer, he went out and walked towards Liu Yifei's villa.

Seeing the cat-poop-scooper coming from afar, several clean and pretty cats surrounded him, very close.

Liu Yifei was still putting on makeup, and hearing the movement, she knew it was Lin Nan without looking back.

"Wait a moment, it will be done soon."

"I'm not in a hurry, you take your time."

Lin Nan said softly, watching Miss Liu's face in the mirror, he was a bit lost in a trance.

Actually, the process of waiting for Liu Yifei to put on makeup was not necessarily not a kind of enjoyment, with a kind of quiet and peaceful comfort.

After a long time, a scolding came, "Still looking?"

"Hehe, then I won't look."

As he spoke, the makeup artist finished the job.

A blue printed off-shoulder long dress, looking youthful and beautiful.

Long black hair gathered, revealing a snow-white neck, with a platinum necklace inlaid on it, and a jade bracelet on her right wrist.

"How is it?" Liu Yifei walked towards Lin Nan in high heels and asked with a smile.

"Mesmerized."

"Hehe, then let's go." Liu Yifei was very satisfied with this answer.

……

In the eyes of everyone in the industry, *Ip Man 2* is likely to make money.

Many stars in the circle have already walked the red carpet and entered the venue.

At this time, a black commercial vehicle stopped in the square.

Lin Nan held Liu Yifei and walked over.

"Finally waited for you..."

Quite a few reporters were waiting for this scene, and the cameras instantly turned on continuous shooting mode.

"Lin Dao, Yifei, look here."

"Yifei..."

……

When the two entered the venue, almost everyone looked over.

"Lin Dao, Yifei, you finally arrived."

Yang Shoucheng walked over first; Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were important guests today.

"We are not the leads of the crew, no need to rush so much."

As he spoke, Lin Nan scanned the room roughly.

Yang Shoucheng had smuggled in private goods, bringing quite a few artists under Yinghuang.

The sound of greetings one after another was endless.

Han Sanping, Wang Changtian, Ye Ning and others were all guests today.

After greeting a group of people, Lin Nan took Liu Yifei to the guest seats.

All around were Lin Nan Film Industry's own people, Guo Fan, Lu Yang, Yue Jun, Zhang Yi.

Not long after, the premiere ceremony officially began.

A group of creators were interviewed very harmoniously above, and the reporters didn't mention the missing people during the previous promotion at all.

The main feature began.

The plot of this one followed the first one, telling the story of Ip Man taking his family to Hong Kong...

The hundred-minute movie had a basically full and compact plot.

Starring Zhen Zidan was responsible for fighting, Huang Xiaoming was responsible for being the second, and being funny.

The response from everyone at the scene was quite good.

"Cheapened Yinghuang..."

Han Sanping said jokingly to Lin Nan across several seats.

"If there is a third one, Lin Dao remember to take care of old friends."

Ye Ning and Wang Changtian also joined in the fun; jokes often contained truth.

Yang Shoucheng above had already started speaking.

"When the first one was released, the box office exceeded 100 million.

For the second one, we spent more energy and made it more delicate, and we hope to have a new breakthrough in box office."

"Then what is Chairman Yang's box office expectation?"

When the reporter asked this, Yang Shoucheng didn't pause at all.

"At least 200 million, 300 million is not too much, anyway, the more the better, haha..."

This made everyone at the scene laugh, but it couldn't be denied that this movie had this possibility.

"Is there a plan to start the third one?"

This question made many people quiet down, all looking at Lin Nan.

"This depends on whether Lin Dao has a plan. Lin Nan Film Industry is one of the producers, and Lin Dao is the screenwriter of *Ip Man*."

Not only reporters, but creators on stage like Ye Weixin, Starring Zhen Zidan, Xiong Dailin, etc., all looked over.

The microphone was handed to Lin Nan.

"If the box office of this one is good, then of course we can consider a sequel."

Hearing this answer, the creators on stage were very happy, and Han Sanping and others instantly had ideas.

Yang Shoucheng glanced at Starring Zhen Zidan, calculating in his heart.

If the box office is a big hit, then continue to beat, if it's not ideal, then we have to calculate the accounts...

Lin Nan had a sentence just now that he didn't say out loud, "Consider, it's just consider."

……

During the cocktail party, Huang Xiaoming walked over with a glass.

"Lin Dao, Yifei."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, just saw you chatting and laughing with a female artist just now, chatting very happily, haha."

Lin Nan said with a playful smile.

"Girlfriend?" Liu Yifei followed Lin Nan's words and teased.

This time, Huang Xiaoming was a bit embarrassed instead.

"When did you become so gossipy?"

As he spoke, he looked back at the distance.

"Just ordinary friends..."
