Chapter 364
"Switch: The Movie" opened its promotional curtain in the capital.
From project initiation to the upcoming release, this movie has maintained a trace of mystery to the outside world from beginning to end.
Except for a few extremely eye-catching movie posters, no other information has leaked out.
"Global media press conference for the movie? And not the premiere! There are quite a lot of tricks."
As a 3D blockbuster of the treasure-hunting type, "Switch" must be taken out and compared with "The Thieves".
The film party specially sent an invitation to Lin Nan Film Industry, and even publicly shouted to the media, saying they hoped to get corrections.
This is very interesting; the two words "correction", how much is correction? And how much is hype and provocation?
Anyway, in the eyes of a group of media, industry insiders, and netizens who don't think it's a big deal, this is "nakedly" challenging, meaning to use the box office to dry "The Thieves".
"You go, I'm too lazy to pay attention. A press conference made with such great fanfare, and even naming me?"
Lin Nan complained to Yue Jun on the other end of the phone.
"Haha, that's fine, I'll represent the company. But the premiere, Lin Dao is afraid he can't hide, right?"
Lin Nan smiled helplessly, not refuting.
As a 3D treasure-hunting blockbuster that has received a lot of attention from the outside world, with an exceptionally powerful cast and production lineup.
The producers of "Switch" also include giants like China Film, Movie Channel, Emperor, and Phoenix TV.
Its movie premiere, Lin Nan really can't hide, and no one in the film industry should be able to hide either.
It's one thing not to give face to other producers, but would he dare not give face to the Sixth Princess and China Film?
"We'll see when the time comes." Lin Nan smiled lightly.
He remembers what Andy Lau said when he called him in November the year before last.
Said he joined the crew and acted for a month, and didn't know what he was acting. Felt the plot completely deviated from the main line, it was hitting east and west, messy from beginning to end.
A movie that could make Andy Lau complain like this, one can imagine how "amazing" this "Switch" is.
Last year, Wanda and China Film organized a game at the Shanghai Film Festival, not knowing who listened to the bewitchment, and made a co-production.
The two companies also tried to invite Lin Nan to invest together, but were rejected by him.
Now, this "Man of Tai Chi", co-produced by China and the US with an investment of 150 million, has officially been scheduled for release in early July.
This piece of movie information added a fire to the restless movie market, especially the summer slot more than a month later.
China Film.
Lin Nan came over today, still feeling a bit uneasy in his heart.
Although Old Han has become "peaceful" on the phone, who knows if he will suddenly explode?
Met up with Wang Changtian and Ye Ning at the parking spot; both of them had smiles on their faces. Clearly, they were full of expectations for today's investment division.
"Lin Dao, that 'Police Story 2013' of ours is also ready to be scheduled for the New Year slot."
Ye Ning went straight to the point, talking about business directly, eager to try.
"So confident?" Wang Changtian teased.
You have to know that the New Year slot movies already determined include Feng Xiaogang's "Personal Tailor" and Ning Hao's "No Man's Land", neither of which are easy to deal with, and there will only be more later.
"The Publicity Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security participated in the filming and production, and will also give some support when the time comes."
Lin Nan stopped at the point and mentioned it. Now Wang Changtian understood in seconds, a bit envious.
The three walked towards Han Sanping's office, chatting as they walked.
Wang Changtian didn't know if it was intentional or unintentional, talking about the movie "The Breakup Guru" just finalized with Lin Nan, causing Ye Ning to keep asking.
Old Han seemed to have been waiting for a while; seeing the secretary bring three people in, he waved his hand directly.
"Sit."
The secretary very consciously poured tea, then closed the door and retreated.
When everyone sat upright, Lin Nan also started today's theme.
"This 'The Taking of Tiger Mountain', adapted from 'Tracks in the Snowy Forest', is a mainstream movie, but I will film it in the form of a commercial film."
"Mainstream... commercial film?"
Han Sanping and Wang Changtian looked at each other; can this really be combined?
Only Ye Ning had some impression in his brain; when talking about "Police Story 2013" last year, when everyone left the Ministry of Public Security Publicity Bureau, Lin Nan seemed to have said similar words?
Remember Lin Nan said at the time, wait a year or two, film mainstream as commercial films; this has only been more than half a year.
"Determined it can?"
"Big scenes, big formations, 3D and IMAX giant screens, I think these are the key elements for mainstream to transition to commercial films.
At the same time, the plot absolutely cannot be bad, the actors must be professional, the costumes and props must be meticulous, and cannot be perfunctory..."
Lin Nan said very seriously.
He has an idea, wanting to use this movie to officially open the door to mainstream commercial films.
Listening to the big scenes, big formations, 3D and IMAX in Lin Nan's mouth, the three people present were all a bit excited.
After cooperating over these years, they already had a subtle trust in Lin Nan.
Perhaps if someone else said this, they would treat it as a joke, but Lin Nan said it, and they subconsciously felt the success rate was not low.
"Then this time, there will be a 3D version?"
Ye Ning suddenly asked, and the other two also looked at Lin Nan with burning eyes.
"Right, in my plan, 2D, 3D and IMAX will all be there, and there won't be few special effects."
Lin Nan looked at Han Sanping: "I need the support of the Beijing Film Studio; also, China Film still needs to connect with the August First Film Studio. After all, there are quite a few war scenes, as well as gunfights and explosion shots; I need a professional team to do these things."
"Good, no problem, China Film will assist from the side. Talk about the specific investment cost,"
Han Sanping nodded and asked about the thing everyone cared about most.
"Preliminary budget 140 million, the main filming location is in the Northeast, involving a large amount of outdoor construction, as well as a large batch of professional extras..."
Hearing the number Lin Nan reported, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Round it up, 150 million?"
Ye Ning suddenly proposed, and was immediately passed by a unanimous vote.
"China Film, 30%."
Han Sanping said abruptly, his tone carrying an unquestionable aura. He lowered his head to drink tea, looking at no one.
Ye Ning and Wang Changtian subconsciously frowned; this is a bit not talking about martial arts!
There are four investors, why do you open your mouth and want nearly one-third?
But soon Wang Changtian reacted; he looked at Lin Nan, and the latter nodded slightly.
"Lin Nan Film Industry, 30%."
"Enlight 20%." Wang Changtian followed closely and said immediately.
Ye Ning looked left and right, a bit confused; what's wrong today? Not a single objection?
"Then Wanda, just 20%", finally Ye Ning could only follow helplessly, saying it was the same as not saying it.
More than half an hour later, the three left Han Sanping's office.
Ye Ning couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong today? Han Dong opened his mouth and it was 30%, and everyone had no opinion?
It's reasonable for Lin Dao to take more, but Han Dong is actually the same as Lin Nan Film Industry this time? It's unreasonable."
Lin Nan looked at Ye Ning, not embarrassed to explain, but winked at Wang Changtian.
Old Wang is also a second-person, looking at Ye Ning with a treacherous smile:
"The big villain in 'Tracks in the Snowy Forest' is Zuo Shanshan, then you guess, who is playing this role?"
This sentence was like a head-on blow, making Ye Ning freeze directly on the spot.
After a long time, he suddenly turned his head to look at the office direction they just came out of, looking like he was frightened.
"Damn, no way, right?" Ye Ning looked at Lin Nan again.
"Haha, why not?" Wang Changtian couldn't help laughing.
Just now in the office, when he got Lin Nan's affirmative answer, he almost couldn't help laughing, and finally gritted his teeth and endured it.
"Lin Dao, you're awesome! Actually able to handle Han Dong and let him play Zuo Shanshan. If this gets out, the whole circle will explode!"
Lin Nan looked ahead, not looking at the two people beside him, saying lightly: "I can't handle him."
"Then how could Han Dong?" Wang Changtian and Ye Ning were both confused.
"Brine points tofu, one thing subdues another. Can't handle him, but I can handle Chen Chen Shimei Han! With her coming out, didn't this take him down?
Chen Chen Shimei Han is also the assistant director of this movie; everyone try to take care of her as much as possible in the future, Han Dong is about to retire..."
Lin Nan said with a light smile. The two on the side nodded in agreement; Han Sanping's daughter, must be taken care of.
Suddenly, Lin Nan felt inexplicably sympathetic to Han Sanping; having such a leaky cotton-padded jacket, it must be very uncomfortable.
"In the future, I won't be like this, right? Um, Xixi can give birth to a son, shouldn't be a daughter... if, if it's a daughter, then I..."
Lin Nan shook his head for a while, nodded for a while, and looked tangled and fearful. Seeing Wang Changtian and the other two a bit confused, is this thinking of something terrible?
Over in Cannes, a crowd of domestic big flowers are competing for beauty.
In the domestic film and television circle, it was attracted by the filing information of several movies.
"'Breakup Buddies': Producer: Bad Monkey, Lin Nan Film Industry;
Director: Ning Hao; Producer: Xing Aina; Executive Producer: Lin Nan;
Starring: Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Yuan Quan, Zhao Liying..."
"'The Breakup Guru': Producer: Enlight, Lin Nan Film Industry;
Director: Deng Chao, Yu Baimei; General Producer: Wang Changtian;
Starring: Deng Chao, (others pending)."
If "The Breakup Guru", controlled by Enlight, invested by Lin Nan Film Industry, and directed and acted by Deng Chao, caught the film industry off guard.
Then "The Taking of Tiger Mountain" made the entire film industry and all actors in the industry unable to help but look sideways and pay attention.
"'The Taking of Tiger Mountain': Producer: Lin Nan Film Industry, China Film, Enlight, Wanda.
Director: Lin Nan; Producer: Liu Yifei;
Main actors: pending."
Three movies filed officially in a row, all with Lin Nan Film Industry as producer, making countless companies in the industry envious, and everyone subconsciously swallowed their saliva.
Quite a few actors, while paying attention to casting, were also being sarcastic:
"Yang Mi is really floating, her brain is not good, actually not renewing the contract. Zhao Liying is already the 4th movie after signing..."
The movie has been officially filed; now, whether it's actors in the circle or friends around Lin Nan with good relationships, all started to take action, the purpose is very clear: roles!
Currently stable at 37 degrees, typing is feeling like floating to immortality.
