Chapter 255 The dimensionality reduction attack of "Avatar"
In today's film market, martial arts films are increasingly declining.
There are probably only two martial arts movies that the industry can think of.
One is "Sword Rain", which will be launched in October. Pony Ma and Media Asia have invested US$14 million in a pure martial arts film.
The other one is "Xiu Chun Knife" produced by Lin Nan Pictures, Liu Yifei is also one of the producers.
But in practical terms, "Xiu Chun Dao" is half Machiavellian and half martial arts, which is very different from "Sword Rain".
The main shooting location this time was still Hengdian.
Lin Nan is very familiar with this place.
No matter what time of the year, there is always no shortage of people in Hengdian.
I heard that during this period, Huang Xiaoming was filming "Tang Bohu 2: The Four Talents" here, which was also a favorite in Hong Kong Island.
Yue Jun personally picked up Lin Nan at the airport.
"There are many costume movies being filmed here, but "Xiu Chun Knife" is the only martial arts movie, and a lot of people are paying attention to us."
Lin Nan could think of this situation and calculated carefully, this is the company's first movie to be shot in Hengdian.
It's still quite cold in December.
When I arrived at the set, I saw Liu Yifei wearing a dark down jacket with her hair tied up. She had been waiting for a long time.
Looking at that look, I feel a little angry.
Lin Nan was not punctual, but the girl looked quite cute.
Ignoring the looks of the people around him, Lin Nan walked up to him with a smile and embraced him in his arms.
"Well, it feels so comfortable to hold you."
The girl was a little shy at first, then she tightened her arms and leaned into her arms, but she still complained.
"Humph, if you don't go to the airport in advance, you will be stuck in traffic and miss the plane!"
“Next time I will definitely leave two hours earlier.
Come on, take me to the filming location."
When it came to business, Miss Liu became energetic immediately.
When Lin Nan followed Liu Yifei to the place, Lu Yang was filming a fight scene between the characters Shen Lian and Zhao Jingzhong.
The martial arts instructors and people from the prop team are all gathered behind the camera, ready to help at any time.
Zhou Miaotong, played by Yang Mi, was dressed in red, paralyzed on the ground, with an arrow in her body...
"Director Lin, Yifei..."
Many actors waiting to see the two greeted them warmly.
Lin Nan nodded in response and walked behind Lu Yang. The camera showed the scene on the monitor.
Lighting, photography...
Zhou Yi's group of people are still very strong.
After so many years of hard work, the transition from TV series to movies has been very smooth, and there are no major flaws. It will only get better in the future.
Lu Yang turned around and noticed the person behind him.
"I'll take a photo of you and we'll talk after it's over."
Lin Nan stopped Lu Yang from shouting and whispered.
After five or six minutes, the scene was finished and it looked like it could be done in one take.
This was Lin Nan's second time watching a film directed by Lu Yang, and the latter obviously paid more attention to it than when he was filming "Cinema for the Blind".
…………
"Director Lin, why are you here?"
When the crew was taking a break, Lu Yang asked with a smile on his face.
"Let's take a look at the level of road guides and where the overspending money is spent, haha..."
Lin Nan said jokingly. Beside her, Liu Yifei also covered her mouth with the back of her hand and smiled.
"I didn't spend money recklessly, as Producer Liu testified."
Lin Nan nodded, indeed there was no waste.
The more you strive for excellence in shooting, the more all aspects add up, the cost will rise.
In the end it will definitely not exceed 30 million, but it will definitely exceed 25 million.
"How many pictures have you taken now?" Lin Nan asked.
Lu Yang suddenly became more serious.
"According to this progress, 70% of the filming has been completed."
"You're not kidding?"
Lin Nan was a little shocked, how could it happen so fast? It's only been a month, right?
"Many of the scenes are at night, so the actors will be in better condition.
In a play or something like that, the chance of passing is greater, plus..."
Lu Yang stopped talking and smiled sheepishly.
I saw Liu Yifei making complaints.
"In addition, Director Lu often works overtime, and the actors are almost at two o'clock and one line at a time, and they all enjoy it, hehehe..."
Lin Nan now understood how feelings can improve the progress of filming.
“It doesn’t affect the quality?”
"No. If it ends early, everyone can go home early, and the pay will not be less. Maybe there will be other announcements. Everyone is working hard."
Lu Yang's brain is quite wild.
That night, the crew canceled the filming plan.
Because Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were the hosts, all the crew members were invited to dinner.
Yang Mi came over to toast her with a glass of wine and asked about the brokerage company.
Lin Nan didn't hide anything, he just said it would be soon. The latter sat back contentedly.
It's indeed coming soon. Yue Jun's plan is almost ready, and a brokerage company will be established early next year.
However, you still need to be cautious when signing people.
Should you sign new talents and train them yourself, or add new talents to existing artists? This needs to be carefully considered.
Liu Yifei's producer actually did a good job.
In the girl's room, Lin Nan saw a lot of notes written by her, and she was very diligent.
The news that Lin Nan came to Hengdian could not be concealed at all.
In the eyes of the media, he doesn't look like he's here to visit, but rather like he's here to have fun.
Liu Yifei and I ate, drank, and visited many scenic spots. There are photos of the two of them on the Internet.
…………
"Three Guns" will most likely become a stain on Zhang Yimou's film career.
This is his first commercial film that did not complete its one-month release period.
The box office was 200 million in eight days, and until the release, the total box office was 256 million.
With a cost of 28 million, this movie is undoubtedly a bloody profit, but it is based on his reputation.
Although "October Siege" is not as abnormal as the early box office of "Three Guns", the industry unanimously believes that the former will go further than "Three Guns".
Lin Nan spent New Year's Day with Liu Yifei on the set of "Embroidered Spring Knife".
"Avatar" is released in mainland China!
The huge Hengdian Cinemas must have a 3D cinema.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went to see this 3D blockbuster, and the theater was almost overcrowded.
No one noticed that there was a big director and an A-list female star sitting next to them, because their attention was all on "Avatar".
Use one word to describe the impression this movie left on domestic audiences, that is: shocking! Incomparably shocking!
The box office on the first day was close to 40 million, a figure that made the industry feel suffocated.
