Chapter 112 "Latent", Visiting Team
Lionsgate and Lin Nan's second film, "Insidious 1" completed all post-production.
It took two months to complete a horror film, which is indeed Lionsgate style.
Wen Ziren contacted Lin Nan and asked him if he wanted to go and see it, because Lionsgate was about to arrange poster promotion and release.
There is also a "Chainsaw 3" to be made later, and Wen Tsai-ren is the producer of this project.
Lin Nan was planning to go over a few days before "Insidious 1" was released, and happened to take a look at the companies that Tom had screened out.
Liu Yifei's "The Condor" has been launched to great fanfare.
I have to say that Master Jin’s novel is indeed more attractive to the audience than the adaptation of Liang’s novel.
"Seven Swords" has Yang Ba's blessing, but compared to "The Condor", it doesn't seem to be as topical.
Xiao Longnu appeared for the first time. She was dressed in white and cold, unsmiling, with a cold beauty. The crew designed the fight scenes very beautifully.
"Sissi is so beautiful, just a little bit worse than me."
Liu Yifei's popularity has reached a new level, unmatched by any young actor born in the 1980s!
Lin Nan flew to Caiyunzhinan, where the TV series is currently being filmed.
"It's done. Just promote it a little more before it's released in China. Don't worry about it abroad. Those promotional posters and videos are enough."
Lin Nan intentionally notified the media about this visit, and Hua Yi didn't mind helping to promote it, so the online reports were much more detailed.
Wen Ziren has black-framed eyes, giving Lin Nan the feeling of a young man staying up late at an Internet cafe.
"I can't watch the show with you anymore, I have to go visit the class."
"This is sometimes the case. If you give an award to any work, it can be justified, but the box office is really a bit embarrassing."
I went to the cinema with Xing Aina. There were a total of six people in the screening room. It was still the first day.
Honest people can always make people relax their vigilance and feel good about them.
"I'm going to take advantage of my hands to get warm and finish the photoshoot in one go. If nothing happens, I'll finish it in about three months!"
Liu Xiaoli held her daughter's face and was extremely excited.
"You are the best now. No TV series in this period can compare to "The Condor"..."
Several foreigners invited Lin Nan to watch the finished film "Insidious" first. In their opinion, this horror film is more profitable.
"Have all the distribution matters been settled?"
Liu Yifei opened her mouth and said, she knew more than Liu Xiaoli, Lin Nan had told her everything.
Wen Tsai-ren is really talented in this aspect. The script is only two-dimensional. Even if there are sub-shots, different directors will produce similar films.
"Director Lin, hello, I am Li Chen from Huayi..."
Liu Yifei knew the priorities, and there was no trace of disappointment on her delicate cheeks, but concern.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Liu Xiaoli said without doubt.
"Director Wen, please take some rest." Lin Nan couldn't help but say.
"Anything is fine, it's up to you."
"Mom, how can you be so complimentary..."
"We will set off in the next two days." Liu Yifei said.
Tom followed Lin Nan into the viewing room. The nearly one hundred-minute movie always stimulated everyone's nerves, making you both scared and unable to help but want to watch it.
"It's pretty good. I played Nezha some time ago..."
"Director Lin, I personally participated in the editing of this film."
Kang Honglei is an impatient person. He is currently interpreting the script with the actors and is ready to turn on the camera at any time. He invites Lin Nan to visit the team. After all, he is also the producer.
March was coming to an end, and Liu Xiaoli flew to Los Angeles with her daughter, assistant, and Lin Nan.
Kang Honglei is in great condition and has been waiting for this day to start filming for a long time.
…
This is indeed a man's drama, and the leading role was given to Wang Baoqiang by Lin Nan, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Haha, it did take a few days, but this time it was released simultaneously, so I had to be careful."
"Lin Nan's first TV series is a military theme, not a costume drama!"
Liu Xiaoli asked.
"...I am Duan Yihong."
"Time Cruise" is scheduled to be released on May 1st, and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is scheduled to film in June.
This script has been out for a long time and has been delayed by funding issues. He has gone through the filming process many times in his mind and perfected it time and time again.
"They're all big men, they don't fall in love, they don't have women!"
Lin Nan replied.
Shu Chang was chirping and commenting from the side.
Yue Jun got into work quickly. He had been working at Qingying Film Factory for the past few years, and there was no need to adjust his status. Now he is working for Lin Nan, and his salary is twice that of Qingying Film Factory. He has a bright future.
…
The schedule was tight, and some actors had not yet arrived for their roles, but they were on the set.
Maybe he had been holding it in for a long time, Lin Nan had listened to Kang Honglei say a lot.
Liu Yifei said a little embarrassedly.
These are all related to Director Kang. It would be a bit troublesome for Lin Nan. He would probably have to ask Han Sanping for help.
At first, Lin Nan was so confused that she didn't pay attention to the premiere of Liu Yifei's "Dragon" and "Sword of Immortal". This time, she was reminded several days in advance.
"It seems they are very optimistic about the market for this movie."
Lin Nan couldn't help but get a little excited when he thought of this. He had 20%.
New Line is recruiting the main creators to shoot a promotional video, and New Line specifically notified Lin Nan of Liu Yifei's side to find out who would be the actor he provided.
Seeing her daughter feel a little discouraged, Mother Liu ignored her.
"Okay, it's a good thing to be modest. By the way, Lin Nan didn't tell you when you will set off?"
Lin Nan said to Liu Yifei.
"Where is he going?"
"Insidious" is already on the shelves of North American theaters, just waiting to be released.
In the second round, there were a large number of satellite TV bids for "The Condor", and the schedule was directed towards the Golden Week.
…
"Director Lin, hello, I am Zhang Yi."
Lin Nan had a meal with everyone, which was considered a meeting.
"Then let's wait until we finish the business and then we'll see."
"That's good. New Line's movie has been confirmed to be introduced to the mainland, and it's done so quickly, which makes a lot of people jealous."
"Don't worry, I will stay for a while. There is still something going on at the New Line." Lin Nan replied.
Tom drove the car and said proudly.
In the next three months, almost all movies related to Lin Nan will be released, and the promotion of "Insidious 1" has spread in North America.
"His movie with Lionsgate is about to be released, so he has to go to Santa Monica."
After Lin Nan returned to the capital, he even went to the cinema to watch it. He spent the price of one person's ticket and enjoyed the exclusive treatment.
…
…
"Director Lin, long time no see."
Because Ning Hao was just a guest appearance, I didn't involve him in the promotions, I just took a symbolic poster.
"Lin, I can guarantee that you will be satisfied with one of these families."
"She's a little oily. She does look much older than Sissi's little dragon girl."
Some people don't talk about character. Anyway, Lin Nan promised not to interfere in the casting, so he doesn't care about it now.
Wang Baoqiang's smile is almost the same as in "A World Without Thieves", and it does look sincere.
Shu Chang smiled without any humility.
Lin Nan estimated that the two bosses, Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang, were definitely enjoying themselves. Of the leading actors, half were Hua Yi's.
"Lin, let's not talk about the release of your movie. Let's take a look at the finished film."
"Then go ahead and pay attention to safety."
Lin Nan watched a few episodes with Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, and the task was not completed until Yang Guo, played by Huang Xiaoming, appeared.
Several TV dramas have accumulated incredible popularity for my daughter, especially the current one Little Dragon Girl. The road to the big screen will definitely be very smooth in the future.
Last year, Golden Rooster defeated Gu Changwei, Lu Chuan, Ning Hao and Lin Nan's "The Two of Us" to be released.
Mother Liu nodded, "Let's go in."
But in horror films, Wen Tsai-ren can always find the most suitable shooting angle, the best picture and visual effects.
Because the script no longer simply exaggerates the horror atmosphere, but instead lays the horror atmosphere on the strong family relationship between father and son. The concept has depth, which will definitely add a lot of points to the movie.
Although Bayi Factory did not invest this time, it still provided support to its old friend and contacted many military locations to help Kang Honglei with the filming.
"Long time no see. How have you been in the past two years?"
Lin Nan complimented.
A director with Kang Honglei's resume can get a lot of help when shooting military themes.
Ning Hao also looked regretful. He would also read the works that won awards in the same period and learn from each other's strengths.
"Little Dragon Girl has recently gone to New Line Cinema to shoot a promotional video for the 3D science fiction blockbuster "Journey to the Center of the Earth". Director Lin Nan is accompanying her as a collaborator."
Unfortunately, it was abandoned by theaters after only three or four days of release. It received high ratings and unanimously positive reviews from audiences, but the combined national box office did not reach six figures.
Lin Nan did not refuse this matter. Visiting the team was a must. The first TV series invested by the company needed more attention and attention.
Hollywood has great influence, but it only covers a small area. Lin Nan specially sent Liu Yifei and the others to New Line before they separated.
According to James Wan, Lionsgate's marketing department unanimously believes that this film "Insidious" will be more successful than "Dead Silence".
What Liu Xiaoli said is not an exaggeration. A large number of TV stations and media have predicted that even if "The Legend of White Snake" is launched on May 1st in Central China, it will be difficult to steal the limelight of "The Condor", let alone the current batch of "The Condor".
What a drama.
I have to admit that this film was very well made. It has more warmth than "Into the Dust", and there is warmth in the cold words. His film was too bitter.
"Lin Nan, don't be in a hurry to leave this time. You can wait until the movie opens at the box office." Wen Ziren said.
Last time "Dead Silence" was released in North America, it was nearly a week ahead of other regions. I didn't expect that it would be released together this time.
Lionsgate's strength is horror films. The last film "Dead Silence" with Lin Nan made a lot of money, and judging from the current publicity, "Insidious" is obviously the first film in the series.
Liu Xiaoli asked.
Lin Nan wanted to laugh when he said this. In "Legendary Fantasy Yin Shang", Shu Chang played Tong Yao in the first part, and Wang Baoqiang played Nezha in the second part, but his appearance was very shocking.
Lin Nan understood Tom's mood and never stopped talking since he sent Liu Yifei to New Line.
This is true. In the past few years, every imported film has been delayed again and again, and it was not a good time to release it.
As long as everyone is not a fool, they will all understand why the introduction of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" was so smooth because of the investment there.
Lin Nan estimated that some Hollywood companies would come up with this idea in the future and accept some mainland investment to facilitate their entry into the market and even co-produce films.
It’s unclear whether it’s a good project or not, but with the stubbornness of Hollywood, how can good projects be distributed to outsiders? Most of them will be leftovers that are uncertain or disdainful.
Chapter completed!
