That year Huayu

"Produced by Wang Zhonglei and Ye Ning, the director Wen Zhang's debut film "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li" was officially launched this morning, with Bao Bei'er, Zhu Yawen, Song Jia, Jiao Junyan and others participating in the starring roles."

"Manchester by the Sea, the film directed by Lin Nan, has ended its first week of release, with a cumulative box office revenue of 290 million. It is expected to become the highest box office of this type of award-winning film in the domestic film market!"

Relying on Lin Nan's box office appeal and her huge reputation with 8 awards including Golden Globe, Golden Lion, and Oscar.

After "Manchester by the Sea" entered its second week, the daily box office did not experience a sudden drop, but dropped by 30 million.

This box office performance once again made Director Lin the object of ridicule and envy among his colleagues in the industry.

After all, it is really difficult for an award-winning film to get high box office.

So far, Lin Nan has accounted for two of the few high-grossing and award-winning films in the domestic film market.

One is "The Fault in Our Stars" starring him and Liu Yifei, and the other is "Manchester by the Sea" which has not been released yet.

It’s been two full days, and “Wang Banbi” still occupies half of the entertainment hot searches;

As for the other half, 70% to 80% are sentences created by the media and netizens for various big names in the film and television entertainment industry, using the word "half the country".

In addition, information and topics related to the Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival have also popped up in large quantities, and the popularity continues to rise.

"I will give out two or three awards?"

"Yes, Director Lin. Regardless of awards, box office, qualifications, prestige or international popularity, you are the most suitable candidate."

Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh when he heard the word "qualifications" mentioned on the other end of the phone.

The word "qualifications" was finally added to his head. Why does it feel so funny?

After all, his youth and "insufficient qualifications" have been emphasized countless times by old men in the industry.

But think about it, it seems that 10 years have really passed since he first won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director. Aren’t these 10 years a proper qualification?

"Well, I understand. Just give me the process card for the award ceremony when the time comes."

"Thank you, Director Lin, for supporting our work. Then I won't disturb you. See you at the film festival."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan shook his head with a smile and continued to work on the shooting.

After a while, he couldn't help but murmured jokingly: "Does it mean qualifications? Will I turn into a dragon in the future?"

…………

The much-talked-about youth movie "Gardenia Blooms" has been confidently scheduled for summer release on July 10, and it seems that it is ready to "seize food from the tiger's mouth".

The fantasy masterpiece "The Great Wall" co-produced by China and the United States has also released set photos for the first time and is about to wrap up.

As the graduation season is coming to an end, tens of thousands of grade 11 graduates from major art schools are about to begin their real journey in the entertainment industry.

At the end of the graduation season, Jiang Yuerou personally led the team to Nortel. This piece of information spread quickly in the circle.

But what makes the school and countless acting students feel helpless is that Jiang Yuerou, the senior executive of Lin Nan Pictures, is not there to sign new actors.

Her goal is very clear, that is, the School of Management, the School of Animation, the Department of Photography, the Department of Fine Arts, the Department of Literature...but there is no acting school!

It's rare for Director Lin to stay at home, and he just saw his own trending news.

The news headline is concise and concise: Director Lin’s company ignored the Nortel School of Performing Arts for the Nth time, and many other departments have signed contracts...

"Looking at China Drama, Nortel, and Shangxi Drama, the most famous one among the 11th graders is Zhou Dongyu. This was the result of the college talking to Director Zhang. Now, looking at the next few grades, there are basically no famous ones."

"So the school feels aggrieved by your behavior of sending a new student who has become famous before entering the school to take the art exam."

Liu Yifei sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, holding a book in her hand and reading;

After hearing Lin Nan's words, she immediately raised her head and started teasing, with a sly smile on her face.

"You can't blame me for this. It's all God's will."

Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh and said, I heard that Liu Haoran has been admitted in advance by the Chinese Theater Company. This operation is quite decisive!

As he spoke, Lin Nan picked up the invitation to the premiere of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" on the table.

"Tsk tsk, Director Chen is extremely confident this time. The premiere will be held on the 25th, and invitations have been sent out nearly 20 days in advance..."

"Not only that, Producer Chen also specifically asked us to go."

Liu Yifei closed the book and added crisply.

"Then go. The flattery of Director Chen from the insiders at the premiere is definitely much better than the movie."

Lin Nan became even more interested when he thought about what was bound to happen.

Chen Kaige has always enjoyed flattery, and he will accept all comers. Maybe he can really understand the "half of the country" joke!

"You, it's true." Miss Liu heard this and rolled her eyes at Lin Nan with a smile.

Zhao Yanzi has been in the spotlight recently. I heard that the couple followed Alibaba's old horse to sweep up the Hong Kong stock market, and they gained at least 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Even if Lao Ma takes the lead, Zhao Yanzi will definitely have a share of more than ten to two billion. The charm of the financial industry is such a naked temptation for the film and television industry.

At the same time, after the domestic market index broke through 5,000 points, it rushed to 5,100 points.

Some experts are already predicting with confidence: The real bull market in the domestic stock market has just begun. In the future, our country can be like the United States, with all the people relying on stock trading to support their families...

The domestic stock market is booming, and despite the good situation, some half-dead companies listed abroad cannot sit still.

We are talking about Bona Pictures, which directly issued an announcement to the public:

“After study by the Board of Directors of Bona Pictures, Chairman Mr. Yu Dong gave instructions:

Since Bona was listed on Nasdaq for more than five years, the group has not achieved any effective development. It has now decided to submit a delisting application to Nasdaq and officially launch the privatization process... in preparation for returning to A-shares..."

An announcement directly made the entire domestic film and television industry and financial circles laugh.

If we had known today, why did we do it in the first place? Huayi is already worth 90 billion, but what about Bona? After converting the exchange rate, the market value is still about 5 billion yuan!

You know, even the light is steady and steady, and its market value is almost 20 billion! In comparison, over the years, Bona has really been treading water!

…

Before setting off for the Magic City International Film Festival, Lin Nan still maintained the daily rhythm of the company and home, two points and one line.

And "Manchester by the Sea" also lived up to expectations. After earning 290 million in the first week, it earned 150 million in the second week.

Lin Nan is very satisfied with the box office result of 440 million in two weeks.

As for how much more he can get in the future, he has a completely relaxed and unforced mentality.

Because "Jurassic World", a global IP movie, has been officially released, and on the first day it was fully prepared to succeed and continue the super high box office results of "Avengers: Age of Ultron".

"Produced by Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures, the fourth installment of the science fiction film "Jurassic Park" series, "Jurassic World," grossed 105 million at the box office on its first day of release in China..."

"The daily box office of director Lin Nan's film "Manchester by the Sea" has dropped to just over 10 million, and is expected to hit a box office of 600 million."

"The performance of films such as "Collapse" and "Fast" is weak and lacks competitiveness, and they may be eliminated..."

…

Lin Nan was browsing movie information on the Internet while listening to Yue Jun's analysis.

"It is undeniable that this novel has many fans. Whether it is made into a movie or a TV series, it brings a lot of topics and is very popular.

But the team has also analyzed it in the past two days. If it is to be made into a movie, and it is to be made into a high-quality movie, it needs to be made into at least two parts, each of which is 120 to 150 minutes long.

Only in this way can the story be told clearly and coherently, so that only fans of the original work can understand it. Of course, it would be best if it could be made into three parts: upper, middle and lower parts, but this is even more unrealistic.

In addition, it goes without saying that TV dramas, as long as they follow the original work and don’t mess around, they will definitely be popular! "

After Yue Jun finished speaking, he looked at Lin Nan like this.

At the dinner that day, he did not immediately reply to Ali, but said he would go back and think about it. After he came back to talk to Lin Nan about the matter, he still did not reply to Ali.

In the past few days, the company has conducted a detailed market assessment of this novel and reached a very good conclusion.

Lin Nan tapped her fingers on the table, thinking in her mind.

To be honest, there is no problem in making one story into two movies, but doing it for an online novel is a bit too laborious. It is not a super IP such as "Journey to the West" or "The Romance of the Gods"!

"What does Ali want?"

"Um?"

Yue Jun didn't realize for a moment what Lin Nan was asking, "What did Director Lin mean?"

"Does Ali want the movie rights? Or the TV series rights? Or do he want them all?"

Lin Nan looked directly at Yue Jun and asked seriously.

"Director Lin, are you confused? Ali's slogan is always 'Big Entertainment'. Haha..."

Lin Nan patted his forehead after hearing this. Well, he was confused.

What is "big entertainment"? Isn't it just the big screen? !

"Sell to them."

Lin Nan said decisively with a smile on his face. He was curious about what Ali would do next.

At this moment, in Yue Jun's eyes, Lin Nan's smile seemed a little malicious?

"Sell it to them? What's the price?"

"No less than this number, you can quote higher!

If Alibaba has money and you ask for less, they may feel that you are looking down on them and despise their production model and thinking of "popular IP + fan film + celebrity director". If you ask for less, it will not reflect the high box office value of this movie in the future! The more we ask for, the more optimistic we are about this movie and them..."

Lin Nan drew a number, and Yue Jun opened his mouth slightly. He was really frightened.

"Are you sure this works? Is it too much?"

"How will you know if you don't try? Don't worry, you can try it a few more times. Anyway, the copyright is with us and the cost is not high."

"Okay, I'll have someone get back to you and let's talk at the dinner table. I have to be careful about my attitude." Yue Jun smiled and nodded.

"Well, I'll leave this to you."

"What about the TV series rights? Should we keep it ourselves?"

Yue Jun, who had just stood up to leave the office, suddenly stopped again.
