That year Huayu

Yue Jun is almost always in charge of Shanhai Media matters.

Only when Lin Nan has valuable resources that he wants to arrange, will he ask Yue Jun about the announcements of several artists.

The script of "Loyalty to Yue Fei" is indeed very good, and it completely positively portrays the image of Yue Fei as a flesh-and-blood national hero.

There are many producers this time, with large investment and production teams, meeting all the prerequisites for a high-quality TV series.

"Is her schedule full?"

"Yes, Yang Mi's schedule in the past six months is full, Zeng Jia reported to me." Yue Jun nodded.

Hearing this, Lin Nan didn't ask any more questions, but was just a little emotional.

He knew that among several artists, Yang Mi was the most ambitious. This was the case in Rong Xinda. Later, she signed with Shanhai Media and brought her agent with her, which shows that she has her own ideas.

Perhaps in Yang Mi's eyes, Lin Nan Pictures' resources may be secondary, and having this backer is the most important. This can give her a greater advantage when fighting for resources in the circle.

"Where is Zhao Liying?" Lin Nan asked again.

"She is still on the set of "Four Famous Catchers" and has no future filming appointments. After all, she has only signed with the company for less than four months."

After Yue Jun said this, he already had a guess in his heart. She was really a lucky girl.

"Go and ask them over there about when the filming will be completed. I think it should be soon..."

"Okay, Director Lin."

Lin Nan reviewed the script yesterday and finally decided to keep the role of the female lead.

Although this is a men's drama, the role of Yue Fei's wife has a lot of roles and is quite important.

Reba is a newcomer, so she definitely won’t be able to hold up, and her looks are wrong. Yang Mi has no schedule again.

Then give it to Zhao Liying, it’s quite suitable.

…………

"Star" was released for 20 days, with a total box office of 450 million, and the daily box office dropped completely to less than 5 million.

The entire film and television industry has turned their attention to it. This box office result is simply enviable.

In addition, whether the new record for domestically produced literary films will be set at 400 million or 500 million depends on the last ten days of the release period of "Star".

Lin Nan took some time to watch "Overheard 2", which was indeed a very good Hong Kong film.

I heard that in the ten days since its release, the box office revenue has been 125 million. It seems that it can reach 200 million.

But Lin Nan doesn't quite understand this behavior. Mainland movies usually hold a celebration banquet after or about to be released.

But things are different here on Hong Kong Island. It was just a few days after the movie was released. When they saw the good momentum at the box office, they immediately started holding celebration parties.

This is the case for "Overheard 2". At the reception, they even shouted the slogan of sprinting for a box office of 300 million.

But too many examples from Hong Kong films tell everyone that it is really unwise to celebrate success too early. The result may be counterproductive and joy too early!

Not to mention metaphysics or not, Lin Nan feels that the 300 million target is a bit unrealistic...

…………

China Film Digital Production Base.

The shooting of special effects shots in the green screen studio is in progress.

Liu Dehua was wearing a space suit. He was half a meter tall, his body was parallel to the ground, and he was holding the spacecraft door with one hand.

He wanted to act out the scene of being pulled backwards by a huge suction force while desperately trying to save himself.

Reba and Lei Jiayin were a little shocked when they saw Liu Dehua's "embarrassing performance" without any real objects.

"It does look awkward at the moment, but with special effects added later, the shots will definitely be great!"

Lin Nan smiled and explained that without physical performance, it is not easy to perform a particularly good effect.

At least the facial expression should be natural, not too fake, and the body movements should be reasonable.

"Click!"

As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, the scene was over.

"Director Lin, are you too cruel?

We're going to attend the Huabiao Awards closing ceremony, and we're just going to spend the afternoon and evening together. Do we need to rush to work and squeeze out time for filming?

Zhou Xun pursed his lips and complained.

"What you said, I thought you were going to receive the award? Are you here this time? Aren't we all guests?"

Lin Nan smiled and joked, which immediately made Zhou Xun stuck. There was really no prize for her.

The year before last, the Huabiao Awards invited all billionaire directors to attend.

But Lin Nan ran away early to find Liu Yifei in Hollywood, and then went to the Venice Film Festival together.

Just that time, public opinion was outrageous and they kept finding trouble with him. But even then, Huabiao still gave Lin Nan the Outstanding Director Contribution Award.

This year, he was invited to be a guest again, but I was embarrassed to refuse again.

"Oh, I thought the filming could be postponed later."

"I was still thinking about finalizing the project in advance! When I originally made the plan, I didn't consider these unexpected factors."

Lin Nan shook his head, a little dumbfounded. Because this kind of thing delayed the filming progress, it was a bit of a fuss.

…………

The crew of "The Four Famous Catchers".

It’s been almost three months since it was launched.

This is the first time for Zhao Liying to play a heroine in a movie, and it is also the first time to partner with so many famous actors, which is a great reward.

During the break, Yue Jun called.

"Director Yue, are you looking for me?"

Although he went to a secluded corner to answer the phone, many people still noticed him.

"Liying, how is the filming of "Four Famous Catchers" going? Is there an approximate completion time?

The company has invested in a TV series, and if the time is right, you will play the female lead..."

Hearing this, Zhao Liying's eyes widened instantly, "The plot is almost over. The director said it will be completed at the beginning of next month at the latest..."

Zhao Liying's voice became louder unconsciously, and many people in the crew heard it.

…

When they hung up the phone and returned to the crowd, everyone looked at Zhao Liying.

"Liying, look at you like this. We haven't finished filming yet, but we have a new drama?"

Deng Chao looked at the girl in front of him who was unknown before and is now an artist of Shanhai Media and said jokingly.

There is no need to hide this kind of thing.

"Well, Brother Chao guessed it right. The company has indeed arranged a new drama for me. This will be it after "Four Famous Catchers" is completed."

Jiang Yiyan walked over from the side and sat down next to Deng Chao, "Congratulations to you, I think the role will be good."

Zhao Liying responded with a smile. After she joined the group, Jiang Yiyan intentionally got close to her.

Zhao Liying knew that these were Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's former classmates. I heard Jiang Yiyan say that their classmates have a good relationship, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.

But in Zhao Liying's eyes, Jiang Yiyan is a bit, how should I put it?

Well, I can get along well with actors and actresses, starring in...

…………

The movie market suddenly became chaotic and noisy again.

Because after "Captain America" ​​and "Norwegian Wood", five more films have been approved for import and have been temporarily scheduled for September.

"The Mechanic", "Uncle", "Rush", "Arthur's Kingdom 3"...

This makes many domestic films, especially those with small and medium budgets, completely unacceptable.

The promotion of several domestic blockbusters has become more grand, giving people the impression of being ready to suppress imported films at any time.

Lin Nan called Wang Changtian on the set and asked him to take the lead female role in "Jing Zhong Yue Fei".

"Well, I knew you wanted this role as soon as I guessed it. I will tell others about it later, and I will also say hello to the crew."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Wang."

"You're welcome, just remember to come on time for the premiere and don't go to the wrong place."

"Hahaha……"

…………

Feng Xiaogang prepared the movie "1942" for several months, but the script was rejected by the film bureau.

The reason given is that the content is too dark and too straightforward, and is likely to cause discomfort to the audience...

To be honest, this reason is a bit too forced.

There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

Xiaogangpao spoke, "The current film censorship system is greatly 'hurting and constraining' film creation, calling for the restoration of the loose literary and artistic policies of the 1980s..."

Feng Xiaogang was quite restrained at first, but in the end he just started firing.

Frankly speaking, the people responsible for censorship are all laymen, either "experts" of this unit or "leaders" of that organization, and most of them have never been engaged in film production.

"Each and every one of the movies submitted for review makes unrealistic claims, excessive negative associations, and even unwarranted speculations about the original intentions of the creators. There is an endless stream of phenomena of slapping people with sticks and blaming them. Instead of doing business, they only know how to cause trouble and delay..."

This statement was immediately supported by a large number of insiders.

Lin Nan saw Ning Hao's movements at a glance. This guy forwarded Feng Xiaogang's post and even wrote a short essay in a weird way!

"Well, I'm just slippery, haha..."

…………

Liu Yifei also received an invitation from Huabiao.

This is equivalent to saying that "Passengers" will have four people, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Liu Dehua and Zhou Xun.

Lei Jiayin and Reba are not qualified enough, so they can only be given half a day off.

…………

Hengdian Film and Television City, the crew of "Xuanyuan Sword".

Cai Yinong called Liu Shishi aside alone.

"This drama will be finished soon. I have found connections to contact you for another big-budget historical drama, and you will play the second female lead."

Liu Shishi nodded, "What historical drama?"

"In "Jing Zhong Yue Fei", I originally wanted to ask the first female lead, but who knew there were so many things in it! It is already very difficult to get the second female lead."

Cai Yinong thought of something and smiled bitterly.

Without waiting for Liu Shishi to ask further questions, Cai Yinong continued to add:

"The male lead is played by Huang Xiaoming. Hong Kong director Tong Kee-li wanted to recommend Lin Xinru to play the female lead. The crew originally promised it, but guess what?"

"How?" Liu Shishi asked doubtfully.

"Several investors from the mainland rejected it and replaced it with Director Lin's person, Zhao Liying, who only signed the contract in April..."

After Cai Yinong finished speaking, he felt a little bitter, and so did Liu Shishi.

All said and done, the Tang Dynasty was still too weak, so they could only win the second female lead, and they used favors.

The reality in the industry is so naked.

The actress, who was originally unknown, has been starring in one movie after another since she signed with Shanhai Media, and all of them are female leads!

"That's it. It will be announced over there soon, so be prepared."

Cai Yinong sighed and reminded.

"Well, I understand."
