Chapter 152

After "Inception", this is the second cooperation between Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

This time, they are the male and female leads!

Just like in real life, acting as a couple.

……

"Producer, Producer, Director, Screenwriter, Lead Actor!"

"They rounded up the whole play by themselves?"

By now, all companies and actors in the industry realized it belatedly.

This is the movie Lin Nan prepared for the two of them, it was very clear from the beginning!

Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, and a group of big flowers who had inquired about the role before also had no thoughts.

If another actress had been set, they would have let people "tear" it a bit.

But now they can't do that.

Since "Inception", Liu Yifei's commercial value has been unique among domestic actresses.

Producer, Producer, Female Lead, she shoulders it alone, and has Lin Nan's support. Who can have an opinion? Who dares to have an opinion?

All envy and jealousy finally turned into a sigh.

"You have given the actors in the circle a 'surprise'."

"Great Robbery" is about to wrap up, Ning Hao called to talk about post-production, and teased by the way.

"How do you say that?"

"How many people are waiting for your art-house film, the Golden Lion director.

As a result, you and Yifei played by yourselves! Haha..."

Ning Hao teased with a smile.

Lin Nan of course knew that the situation Ning Hao said was a fact, and he had thought of it too.

A big director's art-house film has a very strong attraction to actors, especially actors who have pursuits.

"This time it definitely won't work, Yifei and I set it early..."

……

The post-production of "Great Robbery" will still be done at Tiangong Color.

Ning Hao then had to fly to Taiwan.

In his own words teasing himself, "I haven't won a Golden Horse Award, but I went to be a judge for the Golden Horse Award first, which is very funny!"

October enters the third week.

The box office of "Thieves" is approaching the 673 million of "Aftershock" from 600 million.

Although "Thieves" surpassing the latter's box office is already a nailed-down thing.

But all film companies in the industry are still paying attention at all times, waiting for that moment.

624 million.

645 million.

664 million.

681 million.

……

A new record was finally born!

China Film was the first to report the data to the media.

"As of yesterday, 'Thieves' participated in by China Film has achieved a box office of 681 million.

Breaking the domestic film box office record held by 'Aftershock'..."

For a time, various news emerged one after another.

The film circle, entertainment circle, and internet were discussing it.

"The film market is really getting better and better. Only two months have passed, and Director Feng's record has been refreshed!"

"I can only say Lin Dao is awesome, the front foot 'The Martian' lost the championship, the back foot 'Thieves' immediately made up for it."

"It's not certain that 'Thieves' can only be maintained for two months. Isn't there Director Feng's 'If You Are the One 2' at the end of the year?"

……

A long time ago, Tian Zhuangzhuang warned Lin Nan that the more the outside world praises you, the more low-key you should be...

Lin Nan has always remembered this sentence.

For those media reporters who ran to the company to interview him, Yue Jun would entertain and deal with them.

He is rushing to work, drawing storyboards.

……

Media couldn't find Lin Nan, so they went to interview those big directors who had movies to be released later.

Chen Kaige is still very arrogant.

"'Sacrifice' is a big costume historical drama, it's vulgar to just talk about box office. I pay more attention to word-of-mouth, it will definitely be the best..."

"Just a box office record, it doesn't make sense, that thing is just for surpassing and refreshing. By the way, advertise, 'If You Are the One 2' is scheduled for December 22nd..."

This time Jiang Wen also became high-profile.

"It's also a luxurious cast.

'Thieves' can do it, I think 'Let the Bullets Fly' can also do it.

I am full of confidence in this movie, 500 million guarantee, only high, not low..."

The statements of several big directors brought the atmosphere of the film market to the extreme.

There is only a month or so left until December, and there will definitely be another dragon and tiger fight.

Lin Nan called Zhu Yawen.

"Why? Is there a supporting role suitable for me?" Old Zhu is still quite witty.

"Of course, there are so many patients with terminal illnesses in it, do you want to come and act as one?"

When Lin Nan was writing the script before, he thought about the age of each character.

Liu Yifei used her actual age, 23 years old.

Lin Nan is the same, most of the other patient supporting roles have been adjusted for age.

"Then what kind of 'disease' is suitable for me?" Zhu Yawen asked curiously.

"Retinoblastoma, leukemia, testicle..."

"Stop stop stop..."

Before Lin Nan finished introducing, Zhu Yawen interrupted.

"I choose the first one, if you keep talking, I'll have a shadow."

"Do you feel a chill below? Haha..." Lin Nan teased.

Have to say Zhu Yawen chose quite well, this character is the male lead's best friend, and still has some shots.

"Then that's it, come and sign the contract when the time comes."

"Hmm, okay."

After greeting Zhu Yawen, Lin Nan suddenly thought of another character.

This character is a cameo, with only a few minutes of shots, older, preferably with a sense of comedy.

Because it was cut, so he got divorced...

A figure popped up in his mind, "Looks like I can ask him to try."

Muttering a sentence, Lin Nan decisively found the number and dialed it.

Huang Bo was laughing with the crew actors in the backstage, and was going to record an interview for "Pretend to be in Love" on the show later.

The assistant hurried over, "Brother Bo, phone."

Huang Bo saw the "Lin" on the caller ID at a glance.

"You guys chat first, I'll take a call." As he spoke, he took the phone and walked to a remote place.

……

"Cameo? Lin Dao called, then it must be no problem.

What? Testicular cancer?"

Huang Bo was quite happy, but when he heard the disease the character had, he still subconsciously raised his voice a bit.

Many people in the distance looked over, each with a strange expression.

"Okay okay, call me when the time comes, I'll be there on call..."

When Huang Bo returned to the crowd, the way everyone looked at him was wrong.

Especially a few actresses, glancing at his lower body from time to time.

"Don't look blindly, Lin Dao called me to cameo as a character, it's that character who has testicular cancer, not me..."

Huang Bo changed to a shameless expression and said to everyone present with a grin.

"That 'The Fault in Our Stars'?" Jiang Yiyan asked.

Huang Bo nodded.

In the eyes of a group of actors, acting as a supporting role for Lin Nan and Liu Yifei is completely acceptable.

One is a Golden Lion director, one is a top commercial film big heroine, and supporting roles are not something anyone can act if they want to.

Even if it's a low-pay or no-pay cameo, that's a favor, absolutely profitable!

……

Liu Yifei has been preparing for "The Fault in Our Stars" wholeheartedly recently.

In her words, she will act in this movie more seriously and devotedly than ever, leaving a beautiful memory with Lin Nan, and take it out to watch from time to time in the future...

"Do you think we can let Mom participate? Let her play the female lead's 'Mom' in this movie?"

This suggestion from Liu can indeed be considered.

Mother and daughter in reality, acting as mother and daughter in the movie.

Even if there are some flaws in acting, true feelings can completely make up for these. Plus Lin Nan, this director, should be no problem.

"Since you brought it up, then you go talk to Auntie." Lin Nan nodded and agreed.

"Hmm, I'll go talk to Mom now."

Liu Yifei threw down a sentence, got off the sofa, and walked toward her villa in slippers.

……

Yu Dong's Bona did a big one.

The 3D martial arts blockbuster "Flying Swords of Longmen" with an investment of 35 million USD announced its official start.

Han Sanping didn't choose to follow this time.

Because the risk of big-budget martial arts movies is really too great, so great that even Han Sanping is a bit deterred.

Lin Nan went to the opening press conference for half an hour.

Every big director has his own characteristics, Tsui Hark's imagination is worth learning.

Among the actors, he was only familiar with Zhou Xun, and the two chatted for a while, during which Chen Kun took the initiative to greet him.

His appearance is indeed a bit feminine, this time playing three roles alone, especially the character of the West Factory Supervisor Yu Huatian, which is worth looking forward to. This can also be considered a gift from Yu Dong to him.

Just seeing Jet Li, Lin Nan couldn't help but want to laugh.

This one is probably thinking that the cameo in the next door "The Sorcerer and the White Snake" won't affect the filming of "Flying Swords of Longmen" here, so he is still giving guarantees to Yu Dong and others, at most two or three days to get it done. A relaxed look...

……

October's third week ended.

"'Thieves' box office exceeded 750 million, daily box office still maintained at over 10 million."

"Domestic films are about to enter the 800 million box office era."

"The number of viewers in South Korea has reached 8 million..."

The popularity of the mainland market makes the dead Hong Kong film circle both envious and jealous.

Think carefully, so many Hong Kong films have been introduced to the mainland in these years, but not many have really made big money, even if they did, it was small trouble.

Only the "Ip Man" series has good results, but the copyright is in the hands of Lin Nan Film Industry, and Emperor Motion Pictures only has the right to share the box office.

Now looking at the mainland that they used to look down on, the box office data of 400 million, 500 million, and even 800 million, it would be a lie to say they aren't jealous.

A group of people are more unwilling in their hearts, having a feeling that a bumpkin is living better than themselves, feeling aggrieved.

"This is going to be 800 million?"

"Go north, if you keep guarding this one-acre-three-cent land, everyone will starve to death!"

…………

Lin Nan knew there would be a seminar.

"Knowing I won't pay attention to the association, this time they borrowed the name of the General Administration? What is there to 'discuss'?"

Han Sanping smiled when he heard Lin Nan's complaints.

"Didn't say let you come, just saying hello to you, saying there will be such a thing."

Lin Nan was speechless instantly; he understood these words.

This operation can only be described by the word "sassy".

Regardless of whether the main person comes or not, for the positive development of the film industry, we are determined to hold this seminar!

"Awesome, let them be. I'll pretend I don't know about this, it's simply a joke.

Two months ago, a seminar for 'Aftershock' was held, and now a seminar for 'Thieves' is held again; this bunch of people don't do serious things all day, all they do is hold meetings."

Lin Nan sighed and said indifferently.
