Chapter 142 Sending a movie, Li Yang arrives

Lin Nan chose to deal with it in a low-key manner, as it was not appropriate to make a big deal about this kind of thing.

It stands to reason that after the showdown between Liu Xiaoli and Wang Zhonglei, this matter is equivalent to being settled.

But Wang Zhonglei and Hua Yi may not give up. After the movie is released, they will most likely use some crooked means.

If you can't get it, destroy it.

Lin Nan's phone call was very necessary.

Because on the surface, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei do not have a deep background in the industry.

The fact that it is so popular now is all due to the support of Miss Liu’s fans.

After this phone call, at least Wang Zhonglei will know that Lin Nan is behind Liu Yifei.

On New Year's Day, American time, "Buried Alive" was finished cutting.

The shooting is fast and the editing is also fast, because there is no need to cut too many things and content.

When he said the name of the movie, Li Yang smiled, as if he was talking about his ideals.

Lin Nan thought of the box office data sent by Lionsgate. The box office of "Happy Death Day" was finally settled at more than 77 million.

"Haha, Lin, I am naturally suitable for this kind of social situation. I will be a qualified agent."

"About 4.5 million is enough. The shooting location I chose is my hometown..."

"Why?" Tom asked without responding for a moment.

Lin Nan's first pot of gold was obtained with Li Yang's help, and his only actor award also came from "The Blind Shaft".

This thing is very realistic.

Li Yang said and sighed.

"Then there must be a wonderful enough script to attract me. I usually don't accept external roles."

"How much will it cost? I'll let the domestic company prepare it."

When he first changed his career to become a director, Li Yang also encouraged him.

Li Yang didn't stay long and left on the nearest flight.

Many employees in the company were discussing something. Lin Nan listened carefully and found out that DiCaprio was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.

"Lin, is he also a director?" Tom asked.

To this end, Lin Nan called Paul Schrader specifically, and the other party promised to check carefully and was very grateful to Lin Nan for being invited to participate in this film festival.

Leon and Matt are so cool in it, I hope Leon can win an award, this is a bellwether for the Oscars."

The news that Ryan Reynolds filmed a movie in a coffin spread in a small circle.

"It seems true, but I still look forward to working with you once. If Andy can negotiate the price or bring in capital, so can I.

"Then five million. I believe that with Brother Li's ability, he will definitely make a movie better than "The Blind Shaft"."

"Yes, his film was shortlisted for the Golden Bear Award, and finally won the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Art. He was my first guide on the road to directing."

"Yeah, it's been almost two years."

Tom is anything but modest.

Lin Nan met Jackie Chan at New Line. "Rush Hour 3" has been filming for several months and is currently being finalized.

After putting down his coffee, Li Yang looked at Lin Nan and then spoke.

"I heard that this "The Departed" is still an adaptation of your movie?

Most of the participating films are sent out in December at the latest to give the judges ample time to consider.

Nowadays, Lin Nan himself is a Silver Bear director who has made his name in Berlin. He no longer needs help from others. Maybe someone will ask him to help recommend movies for competition in the future.

But Lin Nan knows that losses are inevitable. As for the cost of 360 million, the domestic volume is there, and there is an upper limit.

Tom rambled on about the latest Hollywood news.

…

Jaycee didn't choose your movie last time, and she was very regretful afterwards..."

"I heard in China that you are cooperating with Lions Gate. I have been watching the late stages of the movie here for the past two months, so I came over directly."

Lin Nan asked with a smile.

Although it was Wen Tsai-ren who was standing in front of the stage, Tom, the general manager of Crystal Pictures, had also gained some fame and frequently received invitations to banquets.

"Well, okay, I understand."

Hu Jun had just finished filming "The Martian" and it was so popular that Hua Yi put aside his grudge against Wang Jinghua and invited him to make a cameo.

"It's been so long since I said these things."

"I named it "Blind Mountain"."

At this point, Lin Nan had the impression that there seemed to be a movie like this.

"Ryan, are you sure that director didn't lie to you?"

"Of course not. He won Berlin's Silver Bear for Directors, and this film was indeed entered into the competition."

"Let's go to the reception room on the third floor to talk." Lin Nan said enthusiastically.

When he said this last sentence, Tom couldn't seem to be sad at all, but rather gloating about his misfortune.

"Tom, now I know why you were so keen on letting me start a company."

It was just a few employees in the post-editing process who felt a little depressed after watching the film.

Lin Nan complained.

When Jackie Chan smiles, his iconic big nose stands out.

Lin Nan said it very seriously.

"Thank you, Lin Nan. Thinking about it, you invested in "Blind Well" at the beginning, and now, I came to you to invest in "Blind Mountain" again. I have been getting more and more involved in these years."

"The reason why I came here in person today is to ask for your help."

"How much is the box office of "Golden Armor"?"

…

Li Yang did not answer how much it cost, but introduced his movies.

"Well, okay."

After more than 20 days of release, it has now reached 270 million, and is heading towards the 300 million mark.

"Brother Li, just tell me if you have anything to do. We are not outsiders."

From the fact that Li Yang didn't even make a call, but came to talk to him face to face in person, Lin Nan could see his simplicity.

"There is no comparison between the two. Even if "Golden Armor" loses, it will play a positive role in the development of the industry." Lin Nan thought to himself.

Domestic box office sales exceeded 200 million at the fastest speed in December, surpassing "Time Cruiser", but the box office growth slowed down amid criticism.

I recall that when filming "The Blind Shaft" in 2002, when he was accepting awards in Berlin and the Golden Horse, Li Yang was very high-spirited at that time, much more energetic than he is now.

"These are small things. How much money does Brother Li need?"

"It's no trouble, just get it done."

"Okay, communication is indeed part of your job."

On the contrary, "New World" received rave reviews and did well at the box office.

These days, many friends ask this question, and many of them are envious. Ryan Reynolds enjoys this feeling very much, but sometimes when he is alone, he will unconsciously feel panic and nervous. The psychiatrist said that he still needs to recover for a while.

Got it, Qinling Mountains?

I still remember that when he first signed up for "Into the Dust", he asked Li Yang for help.

Lin Nan's job is as a director, and he does need professional managers like Tom to help manage the company.

Lin Nan packaged the copy of "Buried Alive" and mailed it out according to the official channels required by the film festival.

"The combined total in North America is only over 6 million. I feel really sorry for the companies that bought the copyright in advance."

"Look at you, you spend eight out of ten days attending banquets and parties."

Li Yang adjusted his thoughts.

On this day, Lin Nan was on the new line when Tom called, saying that a friend of Lin Nan was looking for him.

Lin Nan had a hunch that it must be something serious, otherwise he could just send an email and there would be no need to come in person.

In January, the Hollywood Golden Globe Awards are only North American awards, and most filmmakers with dreams are still focusing on Berlin.

Lin Nan gave Yue Jun's phone number to Li Yang.

Lin Nan was already relatively late in sending the movie.
