Chapter 607: A Co-produced Blockbuster from Giant Force Film Industry?

"Wolf Totem", "Dragon Blade", "Triumph in the Skies", "From Vegas to Macau II", "Zhong Kui: Snow Girl and the Dark Spirit"...

Several domestic blockbusters, after waiting in full battle array and accumulating for a long time, finally landed in national theaters in the early hours of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The most tragic battle of the Spring Festival box office of the year officially kicked off!

At the same time, Hollywood had also entered the warm-up stage for the Oscar awards ceremony, which was also bustling with noise and excitement.

In the morning, after Liu Yifei took her assistant to handle serious business, Lin Nan wasn't idle either.

New Year's greeting calls, text messages, social messages, and Weibo comments from the country were simply so many that they could drown him.

Many of them had to be replied to personally to show respect.

After all, this is the human relationship and etiquette of coming and going during the Spring Festival, which cannot be ignored or too perfunctory.

"If you want to greet the New Year, do it quickly, I've been answering calls all day, very tired."

Lin Nan said to Ning Hao on the other end of the phone, his tone a bit teasing.

"All day? It looks like everyone has been calling you since New Year's Eve last night. In Hollywood, it's indeed from morning until afternoon.

But it's understandable, who made you the newly crowned Golden Lion, Jin Xiong double-gold director? There are only three of you in the entire Chinese-language film circle!"

Lin Nan curled his lips and teased speechlessly: "This kind of flattery, I've heard until I'm tired of it these past few days. Can you change to something fresh, Director Ning?"

"Ah? You bastard! I still want to hear others flatter me like that, and you're tired of it? Really, those who are dry are dried to death, those who are flooded are flooded to death."

Ning Hao heard this and immediately cursed. However, the next second, he still changed the subject and greeted the New Year:

"Taking advantage of the New Year, I wish you and Yifei success in the Oscar awards ceremony in a few days.

Besides, I'll tell you a piece of good news. The day you won the Jin Xiong, Huanxi officially resumed trading and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. But this news was completely suppressed by your limelight, and also..."

Hearing this from Ning Hao, Lin Nan was instantly energized, and he hurriedly searched with the tablet on the side.

On the 15th, Huanxi officially resumed trading and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and the stock began to circulate.

On the 17th, Tang De Film Industry, held by Fan Bingbing and Zhao Wei, was successfully listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and the two appeared at the listing ceremony and spoke at the same time.

These two companies, one is a backdoor listing, and the market value approached 10 billion on the day of resumption, finally landing at 8.9 billion;

The other is an IPO listing, and the market value soared directly to about 15 billion on the day of listing.

Two new capitals in the film and television industry officially met the industry like this.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's really a new atmosphere for the New Year. In a few days, Director Ning's net worth has soared by 10 or 20 billion! I have to greet you properly, remember to carry me later, wish you..."

"Hehe, why do I feel like you are mocking me? Besides, it hasn't been lifted yet."

"Don't you also have a mentality of showing off, Director Ning? Haha..."

Lin Nan continued to joke, but in his heart, he was actually quite emotional.

The film and television industry has truly entered an era where capital is blooming. The film and television circle later will be more and more interesting.

Chatting with Ning Hao for more than half an hour, which led to several calls not getting through, Lin Nan was too lazy to call back and replied by text message.

After 5:00 PM, Liu Yifei came back.

For a whole day, she cooperated with the team and decided on the gown and styling for the Oscar red carpet and awards ceremony. Now she was just waiting for that day.

"I also met domestic media today. They were inquiring about the red carpet and awards ceremony. They also asked me if I knew about Tom Hanks' new film, saying that Huang Shengyi will cooperate with him on a Hollywood blockbuster this year."

Liu Yifei changed into home clothes and told Lin Nan about what happened today.

"Then they asked the wrong person, the two of us basically don't care about these things."

Lin Nan didn't even lift his head and replied to Liu Yifei; he was looking at the news sent by Happy Mahua.

The review of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" encountered a bit of a problem and was returned the day before yesterday.

Just like the problem points Yan Fei was worried about before, certain lines and shots in "Goodbye Mr. Loser" were required to be modified.

"Hmm? Need to delete or modify?"

Liu Yifei leaned over to Lin Nan's side, looking at the news on the tablet, and asked.

"Neither delete nor modify, the flavor will fade after deletion and modification. After we return to the country, I will communicate with the above, find Director Tong to help."

Lin Nan decided, and by the way, edited a message back to Yan Fei.

The film industry is like this, the review thing can be accommodated. The bigger the director, the more they will be taken care of, unless it is sensitive content.

But Lin Nan did not agree with the "accommodation" result of Chen Kaige's retention of the Dragon Prince's scenes!

Because this is no longer "taking care of", but ignoring rules and ignoring social influence. The public opinion at that time will definitely explode!

The domestic film market once again made Hollywood drool.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first day of the Spring Festival, the single-day box office of the film market exceeded 300 million, approaching 400 million.

"Dragon Blade" won the championship with a first-day box office of 120 million, contributing one-third of the market.

"Wolf Totem" was released on the first day, the box office won 33 million, the word-of-mouth exploded, ranking first in film reviews! It can be foreseen that the screening rate and daily box office of this film will continue to rise.

As for other films, it was really hard to describe.

The variety film "Dad, Where Are We Going? 2", which was denounced by half of the industry, did not repeat the ferocity of the first season's movie, and directly failed.

"Triumph in the Skies" performed mediocrely, and fewer and fewer domestic audiences are interested in Hong Kong films.

The most controversial film is the "Zhong Kui: Snow Girl and the Dark Spirit", which has an investment cost as high as 200 million.

The first-day box office reported 64 million, and there was a chorus of curses online.

A large number of negative film reviews can be summarized in one sentence: Tiangong Color's special effects are good, but the film plot is rotten to the extreme, and it is an indescribably rotten! Can't see Chen Kun's acting skills at all...

For the domestic film and television circle, the Spring Festival is still continuing, with various announcements and programs of stars constantly appearing. The entertainment information is quite rich.

The four New Year specials of "Running Man" have also started to play. There are countless other variety shows.

However, at this time, the vision and lens of some media have turned to Hollywood.

After all, in less than three days, the Oscar awards ceremony will start.

This year's Oscars not only have Lin Nan bringing "Manchester by the Sea" to compete for the little golden man for the second time;

There is even more Huang Shengyi, who is hotly discussed in domestic public opinion and full of announcements, who will appear at the Hollywood Independent Film Festival and the Oscar awards ceremony one after another.

The latter will walk the Oscar red carpet with Tom Hanks, and the two will cooperate on a Chinese-American co-produced blockbuster, serving as the male and female leads.

For the media and film and television entertainment circle, if the co-production project mentioned by Giant Force Film Industry is true, then Huang Shengyi will be the third young mainland actress to serve as the female lead of a Hollywood blockbuster after Liu Yifei and Jing Tian.

Besides that, Julu Film even hyped things up at noon on the 19th, latching onto Lin Nan's topic:

"Company artist Huang Shengyi and the team have set off this morning for Hollywood, looking forward to witnessing Director Lin Nan's cup-lifting moment at the Dolby Theatre... This will be a grand event for Chinese-language filmmakers..."

In fact, many media and stars have also set off for Hollywood, including Zhang Ziyi who just got engaged.

For female stars, the annual Oscar red carpet is something no one will miss for no reason, which is also a very rare resource. The premise is that the way stars are invited is not invisible or unpresentable.

After 5 months, the preliminary preparation for "The Great Wall" was almost 80% complete.

So these two days, Legendary and Universal have written a lot about this project in Hollywood.

Because this film is bound to receive "full support" from the Chinese market, unlike other Hollywood blockbusters, which may be targeted or "specially taken care of" in that second-largest film market in the world and placed in a very cold slot.

"The Great Wall" was hyped up in Hollywood, and Lin Nan also received news from Warner, inquiring about "Pacific Rim 2".

"Lin, this is the red carpet arrangement for 'Manchester by the Sea'. Leon will rush back from the crew on the 21st, which is the morning of the day after tomorrow. After resting for a day, preparation will start on the morning of the 22nd..."

Crystal Film Industry, Lin Nan looked at the notification sent by the organizing committee and nodded.

"Hmm, I know. When the time comes, Yifei will separate from us and go to meet Nolan and the others early. You arrange some more, no, you personally take people to follow her." Lin Nan instructed.

"Okay, Lin, no problem. But having said that, you are really an excellent husband. Hehe..."

Hearing this from Tom, Lin Nan's expression stiffened; he was used to this guy flattering Liu Yifei, but hearing him flatter himself, he wasn't used to it!

"After attending the Oscar awards ceremony, Sisi and I will return to the country. Within this year, I probably won't come to Hollywood again. You keep a close eye on the company's affairs. If there is anything else important, call me."

"Hey, you not coming to Hollywood doesn't mean I can't go to China! Aren't you and Crystal holding a wedding this year?

When I met James before, he was still asking me if you would send wedding invitations in Hollywood."

This matter mentioned by Tom really reminded Lin Nan. When the time comes, he has to calculate the invitation list in Hollywood.

"There will be his."

In the blink of an eye, Hollywood time reached the 20th.

The climax of the awards season was finally about to welcome the last brilliant fireworks, releasing to the extreme.

At the same time, Liu Yifei's phone calls also increased a lot.

It wasn't from Red Star Dock, it was other people in the circle connecting relationships.

Strategies of those who are well-versed in "pillow talk" and "madam route" made Lin Nan very speechless.

"They call you, they can only dryly say a blessing, and they have to be cautious even when joking; but calling me, they can chat about other things and enhance the relationship. So, Director Lin, you should thank me. I am a virtuous wife!"

Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan proudly, her smile very arrogant. The call she just hung up was from Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, and others.
