Chapter 257 "Hawthorn Tree", the second batch of equipment
Two days ago, Hu Ge's "Myth" landed on CCTV.
After only 6 episodes, it reached the highest ratings in the country in the same period.
Another hit drama. The position of a first-line actor is very stable.
The domestic film market is still dominated by "Avatar", and no domestic film survives.
In the entire industrial chain, only theaters are smiling and making a lot of money.
"Three Guns" has been released for a while, and the impact of this movie on Zhang Yimou is just like the impact of "The Promise" on Chen Kaige at the time.
The latter chose to return to the biographical movie and made "Mei Lanfang".
Similarly, Zhang Yimou's team announced the reboot of the script that had been written before, "Love of Hawthorn Tree".
Compared to Chen Kaige, netizens seem to be more friendly to Zhang Yimou and have many posts to support.
The top director, returning to the field of art films that he is best at, is a huge temptation for actors in the industry.
The news spread and the circle was in full bloom.
It is definitely no problem for Zhang Yimou's art films to be shortlisted for the film festival.
Liu Yifei also had some ideas.
"Can you help me ask?"
"I'm not very familiar with Director Zhang, either." Lin Nan said with a smile.
"That's more familiar than me, just ask."
Lin Nan was 80% sure that Liu Yifei would be rejected by Zhang Yimou, but he still agreed.
"Okay, I'll help you ask if it's right. But if you get hit, don't blame me."
"Well, I don't blame you. I'll wait for good news, muma."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan went to pay attention to the "Hawthorn Tree".
Zhang Yimou is so energetic that he is unreasonable.
The first player just said that he would restart this project and now he has already started preparing for casting.
...
When everyone is paying attention to "Hawthorn Tree".
Huayi announced the breakup with Zhou Xun to the public.
The first three-gold actress in the mainland has expired and will not renew Huayi.
The key is that this is still a first-line movie star who holds Huayi's original stock.
When Wang Zhonglei was interviewed, he spoke softly and said that there was no conflict or something, which was just a personal choice.
"If I didn't listen to you and bought those million shares, I might as well arrange me now."
Zhou Xun is not as light as a contract now, so he specially invites Lin Nan and Huang Xiaoming to dinner.
It was Lin Nan and Huang Xiaoming at the beginning, which made her buy stocks firmly and make a big profit.
"It's okay, Mr. Wang is also a shameful person, probably not like that..."
Huang Xiaoming, who just returned from the crew of "The Four Talents", habitually smoothed out the situation.
Zhou Xun glanced at Huang Xiaoming and remembered something.
"Your contract is about to expire in the middle of the year, right? I remember it was a three-year agreement?"
Huang Xiaoming nodded.
"Do you want to renew your contract?" Zhou Xun asked.
"To be honest, I want to open a studio..."
Huang Xiaoming did not hide it and continued, "In this way, I invest and become a producer. I can also sign actors by myself, haha..."
Zhou Xun smiled, looked at Lin Nan, and joked: "Director Lin, if you have any work in the future, you will call me directly, and there will be no intermediaries again."
"Is it a discount?" Lin Nan smiled.
"Fight, just give it to me."
"Haha, I can have a fracture..."
After a meal, there were a lot of rumors on the Internet.
"Zhou Xun invited director Lin Nan to a banquet, and it is suspected to be signed into Lin Nan Film!"
"Director Lin Nan, Huang Xiaoming, and Zhou Xun had a dinner together, and the project was launched in "Painted Skin 2"..."
What a guy, Lin Nan admired this group of reporters who took secret photos and arranged a job for him!
The next day, Zhou Xun posted on Weibo and announced the establishment of his own studio.
Not only was the rumors self-defeating, but the company that originally wanted to make Zhou Xun's idea instantly gave up the idea.
...
Lin Nan met Zhang Yimou.
"If it were other movies, I would really give you such a face and let Yifei try it out.
But I won't hide it from you in this movie. I want a pure newcomer, an amateur who has never acted in a play, has never been in a relationship, has no emotional experience."
Zhang Yimou said with a smile, meaningful meaning.
Lin Nan understood the other party’s meaning, and this reason was helpless.
"Haha, are there gains and losses? Director Zhang is preparing to auditions at all art schools?"
"Yeah, it's done within two months..."
Zhang Yimou has sent several deputy directors to select people at famous art schools in China.
Lin Nan didn't bother him much, and after chatting for a while, he said goodbye.
He could see that only this kind of art film could Zhang Yimou not be interfered with by Zhang Weiping.
Because in the profit method, copyright is the big one, quality is the key...
Liu Yifei was a little frustrated when she heard Lin Nan's casting conditions.
She doesn't even meet the most basic requirements!
"If it's not suitable, it's not suitable. I'll save a crew one day."
"I have an ideal, I support you. By the way, how is the filming of "Embroidered Chun Dao"?"
"The filming is about to be completed. In two days, I will go back to find you."
Liu Yifei's voice became lighter in an instant.
…………
Lin Nan stayed in Tiangong Color and stared at the post-production editing.
A small number of special effects are also being produced.
Yang Shoucheng's phone call suddenly came in.
"Director Lin, the finished film of "Ip Man 2" has been made, and the schedule needs to be arranged."
"Didn't Ying and Huang tell the outside world that it's time to schedule for the first half of the year?"
"For the specific time, Director Lin will choose one, haha."
In Lin Nan's plan, the company's four movies can be released as early as the summer schedule in June, and will be distributed throughout the second half of the year.
Then this "Ip Man 2" is best placed on May Day.
"It will be released at the end of April, so let's go to May Day." Lin Nan said.
"Then let me listen to Director Lin."
...
From the outside world, the box office of "Avatar" has exceeded 700 million, and it is about to reach 800 million.
Cameron personally brought the main creator to the capital.
In addition to doing another wave of publicity, I hope that China Film can introduce more movies.
Lin Nan could feel the mood of the mainland filmmakers on the scene through the screen, and was definitely cursing in her heart.
However, this great director who has been a truck driver did show his superb level when talking about the application of 3D, CG, motion capture and other technologies in movies.
Many domestic directors and producers present, just like listening to the book of heaven, were confused from beginning to end, and were very embarrassed.
