Chapter 211 Return to China, December
Lin Nan was packed so tightly that she was still stuck at the airport.
"Director Lin, has your "Hunting" been completed?"
"What do you think of the filming of "Mei Lanfang"?"
"Which one do you like more, "Future Police" or "Roboman"?"
"The movie has been completed.
I'm too busy, so I haven't watched Director Chen's movie yet.
As for the last two parts, I don’t know much about them…”
Not long after getting in the car, the news of Lin Nan's return to China spread throughout the circle.
Ying Huang's call came right after.
Today is the premiere of "Ip Man", and Yang Shoucheng hopes that Lin Nan can go to the scene.
"Director Yang, I won't go. I'll be home soon..."
Lin Nan estimated that the premiere had already begun with eating, drinking, and socializing.
There's no point in going there by yourself.
When returning to the villa, Lin Nan went to see Liu Yifei. The latter was not at home and must have gone to attend an event.
"Okay, let's go see Bad Monkey."
…………
Thinking about it carefully, it has only been more than a month, almost two months since I saw Xing Aina, how come her belly has grown so much?
"Lin Nan is here, sit down quickly." Xing Aina smiled and pointed to the sofa.
"I'm talking to Director Ning, why do you still want that sister to come to the company? Why don't you hire a nanny to take care of her?"
"How can they be so delicate? There are so many people here, and I can control them all, haha."
"You heard me, you don't need a nanny, we are all nannies."
Ning Hao said with a smile, holding the drawn storyboard in his hand and handing it to Lin Nan.
"I really envy Director Chen. Do you know how many copies of his "Mei Lanfang" he released?"
"How many?"
"1,400. More than "Red Cliff" was released. If it weren't for your "The Martian", this would be the release record."
Ning Hao feels that if "Racing" is matched with this distribution volume, he is confident that it will get a box office of 100 million guaranteed and sprint to 200 million.
However, the production cost and size of "Racing" dictate that there will not be too many distribution resources.
"It's quite exaggerated. After all, Director Chen's status is there.
Doesn’t China Film still expect him to win another Golden Bear?”
Lin Nan could only say this.
The distribution scale of a literary film is only worse than "The Martian", ranking second in the country. Apart from this reason, I can't think of any other reason.
"In the final analysis, the Palme d'Or trophy is so important." Ning Hao said with emotion.
At the beginning, he was so confident that he wanted to release it during the Lunar New Year. There were many movies with the same idea.
The final result is that "Racing" will have a head-on collision with "Red Cliff Beneath". Even if there is a gap of several days, it will still be a tough battle.
This is why Ning Hao called and asked Lin Nan if he could come back to attend the premiere.
Although "Red Cliff" is said to be bad, its box office actually exceeded 300 million, and there were many viewers who saw it as a comedy.
He believes that with the addition of Lin Nan, "Racing" should be able to compete with "Under the Red Cliff" at the box office.
Speaking of movies, a few people talked about the just-released "Wolf Fang".
"It's not easy for an actor to transform into a director."
"Wolf Fang", which had an investment of over 20 million, only had a box office of over 1 million on its first day.
While facing the pressure of "Mei Lanfang", "Ip Man" and "If You Are the One" will follow closely behind.
The results of "Wolf Fang" are destined to be hopeless.
"I heard that Wu Dan himself invested more than four million yuan..."
"What happens once is familiar, maybe it will turn around next time." Lin Nan smiled.
"However, when an actor turns to become a director, the films he shoots are usually of a specific type. The road is too narrow and it will be difficult to broaden his horizons.
I guess he may continue to be this kind of subject in the future."
Ning Hao came to a conclusion for Wu Gan.
——
There were many guests at the premiere of "Ip Man".
Everyone already knows that this movie is a collaboration between Lin Nan and Ying Huang, and the former accounts for more than half.
"Director Yang, Director Lin really won't come?"
Huo Wenxi looked at the scene and saw that all the artists who could be named by Yinghuang were here.
If Lin Nan could come over, the publicity effect would be even better.
"He's already home.
By the way, what did you just say about Jiang Wen?"
"Director Jiang just told me that he is working on a script and is still improving it. He asked us if we would like to invest in it. It is a commercial film."
Yang Shoucheng scanned the scene and did not see Jiang Wen.
"Where are the others?"
"Just left."
"Go and tell him that there is no problem with the investment."
"But we lost so much in the last one?" Huo Wenxi reminded.
"I can clearly see this guy. We are not investing in movies, we are investing in people. I am optimistic about him."
Yang Shoucheng said without any doubt.
"Okay, Director Yang. I'll contact him later."
Lin Nan is thinking about the later stages of "Hunting".
He used to do it in the post-editing process at China Film Studio, but this time he wanted to do it in school.
Once the equipment and the first group of people are back, there will be no need to run outside during the later stages of the film.
While driving to Nortel, Liu Yifei called. She was attending a brand event.
Walking on the Nortel campus, Lin Nan could hardly see anyone familiar except for some teachers, and he had a feeling that things were different and people were different.
"Director Lin has returned to school?"
Many undergraduates only dared to watch from a distance and discuss a few words.
"Director Lin will graduate next year and I heard that he declined the opportunity to stay at the school."
"Are you kidding me? Director Lin would care about this kind of 'opportunity'?"
"That seems to be the truth."
Lin Nan felt quite emotional that not every student could be like Yang Mi and dare to run up to say hello.
Old ginger looks good.
"What is the effect of black wolfberry?"
Lao Jiang's face instantly darkened, and he silently closed the thermos cup.
"What are you doing here today? Don't tell me you're here to submit a work."
"How can it be so fast? I want to apply for an editing room."
"This is really new. How long will it take?"
"About half a month to a month."
Lin Nan knew that there would be many directing students coming back for post-production editing during this period.
After all, it was a graduation project, so he still felt that it would be better to do post-production editing in school.
Lao Jiang took out a book from the drawer, filled it out, stamped it, tore it off and handed it to Lin Nan.
