That year Huayu

This is the second time Lin Nan has seen Zhao Liying since she signed a contract with Shanhai Media.

The latter seemed a little excited. The company had just arranged an assistant for her two days ago, a girl of the same age.

"When you join the crew of "Famous Catchers", there will be a one-month training period, and the filming will officially start at the end of next month."

Lin Nan paused and smiled:

“Although this is a bit realistic, I still have to say it.

There should be no actors or staff there who would deliberately target you, but if something like this happens, don't tolerate it! "

The reason why Lin Nan said this is because the crew of "Four Famous Catchers" has many Hong Kong actors and actresses.

Of course Chen Jiashang wouldn't, but failing to protect the people below would be a stumbling block.

After all, he heard that Chen Jiashang had promised the female lead, but was rejected abruptly.

Hong Kong Island is a small place. Even when filming in the Mainland, actors and crew are accustomed to clumsy and quarrel with each other. There are even cases of discrimination and exclusion of Mainland actors...

Zhao Liying's face became a little serious and she nodded seriously.

"Director Lin, I will not embarrass the company."

"Director Lin just reminds you that this kind of thing may not happen, haha..."

Yue Jun couldn't help but speak and said with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhao Liying's frown relaxed.

…

The movie market has been dead since late February.

I finally looked forward to two blockbusters in April, and one is worse than the other.

May hasn't even started yet, but the number of domestic films that are about to be released is already waiting to be announced.

China Film Company calculated very well at that time, and with the help of "Warring States" and "Guan Yunchang", it will be released in early to mid-May or even late May, competing with a batch of imported films to grab the market, and bringing other domestic films with it.

But who knew that the two films were seriously competing with each other and would not threaten the imported films in May at all.

A total of six major Hollywood productions, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides", "Kung Fu Panda 2", "Fast and Furious 5", "Thor"...

Many producers who have movies to release in May are feeling numb.

The May schedule hasn’t even started yet, but the ending is already decided!

At this moment, China Film Group wanted to temporarily arrange a movie to support the venue, but it was already too late.

The entire month of May is almost destined to be dominated by imported films.

"The Favorite" directed by Gu Changwei and starring Aaron Kwok and Zhang Ziyi will definitely not be able to make waves.

"Lin Nan, when will your movie "Star Luck" be released?"

When Han Sanping opened his mouth, Lin Nan knew what he was planning.

"Director Han, don't make this idea. I won't go to the rescue..."

Lin Nan knows very well that with the box office influence of him and Liu Yifei, the results of "Star" will not be bad.

But he would never agree to postpone it to May in such a hasty manner...

Han Sanping didn't expect Lin Nan to react so quickly. Before he could say anything, the other party blocked his way out.

"Okay, I'm just asking. I don't want to let you go to May."

"Keep cheating..." Lin Nan complained in his heart.

"Then when are you going to set a date?"

"I'll decide after I get back from Cannes."

…………

"The crew of "Four Famous Catchers" has arrived at Xiangshan Film and Television City today. They will conduct a month-long training before starting filming..."

"It is reported that Shanhai Media artist Zhao Liying was originally an actress under Huayi. Before her contract expired..."

"The female lead in "The Four Famous Catchers" is suspected to have been confirmed nearly two months in advance..."

Lin Nan didn't even know what to say about Wang Zhonglei.

This little bit of eye drops, "reportedly" and "suspected", besides adding some gossip, what else can it do? superficial……

Then Jiang Yuerou’s Weibo came out.

"Zhao Liying had previously filmed Zhou Yi's "Ouchi Xiaoshou", which gave me a very good feeling.

But she stayed in Huayi for five years and didn't have many good resources. Therefore, I think that after the artist’s contract expires, if there is a chance, he should move to higher places..."

Jiang Yuerou acted as the company's spokesperson and spoke directly to the outside world.

There are many companies in the circle watching the excitement, and they are all very interested, waiting to see the two big companies fight.

But who would have thought that as soon as Jiang Yuerou's Weibo post came out, no one took the call, which made everyone very depressed!

…………

"'Dialogue between Famous Chinese and Foreign Directors' summit?"

"It's organized by the Capital International Film Festival."

Lin Nan was even more confused now. When will the Capital International Film Season be held? He was also invited to participate in the conversation!

Yue Jun saw Lin Nan's doubts.

“This year’s first edition, the highest award is: the Temple of Heaven Award.

Directors Feng Xiaogang and Wu Yusen have already agreed to participate. "

Hearing this, Lin Nan felt a little embarrassed.

Domestic films have not seen any breakthroughs, but film festivals have been established one after another, all with too much money to burn.

"As usual, just say no. Besides, this time I have to arrive several days before the opening ceremony of Cannes, so I don't have time."

…………

"Guan Yunchang" is about the same as "Warring States", but it has the bright spot of Jiang Wen.

At this time, the box office is still increasing slowly, reaching about two million every day.

For a movie with an investment of 150 million, it is now a dead horse and a live doctor. It would be better to lose less.

Time enters May.

As a rare good period in the first half of the year, even if the release period of other films is about to end, the box office will rebound a little during this long holiday.

But "Guan Yunchang" is not the case. This movie is completely like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

On May Day, the daily box office dropped directly below one million, with a revenue of 820,000.

After all the planning, "Guan Yunchang" has only been released for twelve days. Looking at it, it is indeed the end.

Three days in a row, the Labor Day holiday is over.

The daily box office of "Guan Yunchang" fell below 100,000, so major theater chains completely deleted it from the film schedule, even though the previous film schedule rate was less than 1 point.

With a release cycle of half a month, this is the last bit of kindness and room left by the theater chain to the film studio.

At this moment, the media immediately began to report the data of "Guan Yunchang".

"Following "Warring States", "Guan Yunchang" was also released for half a month and was abandoned by the market..."

"With an investment of 150 million, "Guan Yunchang" starring Donnie Yen has a total box office revenue of 140 million. It is a pity that it was not released."

"After "Ip Man", Donnie Yen suffered huge losses in two consecutive movies, which has already affected his net worth..."

This circle is realistic. Whether an actor is a hit or not determines your value.

At this moment, Zhen Zidan was very anxious.

"I will make an announcement for you and say that I will not take on any roles in the next six months. I will study hard for a period of time, think about the connotation of actors, and carefully select new scripts..."

The agent gave Zhen Zidan an idea.

There have been too many negative comments directed at Donnie Yen recently. The attack on Jiang Wen also caused some backlash, so it would be better to keep a low profile for a while.

"That……"

"Your worth and status have been affected a lot, but it's still acceptable. We'll find ways to make up for it later."

As soon as Zhen Zi opened his mouth, his manager knew what he meant.

"Okay, let's do it."

…………

Liu Yifei's trip to Cannes is ready and waiting to go.

Lin Nan sat on the sofa and called Zhu Yawen.

"Hey, Director Lin, why are you thinking of calling me?"

This slippery tone is indeed suitable for playing a bitch-like character.

"Cannes."

Lin Nan only said two words and heard a "shush" on the other end of the phone, which should have silenced the people around him.

"Are you sure I can go? Do I need to go?"

Zhu Yawen's question confused Lin Nan.

Although Zhu Yawen is a supporting actor, she still has a chance to win the actor award, although the chance is very slim.

"What do you think?"

"I thought I might as well not go. My hope is too small. If I go, I will still be a light bulb."

Before Lin Nan could speak, Zhu Yawen added anxiously:

"But if something happens to my ancestral grave, you know. You have to help me receive the award, and by the way, introduce me well..."

"You are so promising, you have even thought of planning your ancestral tomb, haha...

Okay, I won’t take you with me then. If it’s your family, no, if you really win, I will introduce you well. "

Liu Yifei pressed her forehead against Lin Nan's arm and laughed non-stop. Zhu Yawen said that her family's "ancestral grave" was so funny.

…………

Yue Jun took four employees and set off early for Cannes to prepare.

China Film was led by a deputy director and people from Wanda Pictures went to Cannes.

In addition to the matter of "Painted Skin 2", the former is also responsible for purchasing the copyrights of foreign language films during the film festival.

…

The crew of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" began to gather a group of actors.

"Mimi, get ready to join the team. I have already reported to Director Jiang."

Yang Mi didn't react for a while, why was it Director Jiang this time?

"Isn't Director Yue here?" she asked subconsciously.

"The call didn't go through. I heard that I went to Cannes."

Zeng Jia answered with a longing look on her face.

Although she is just an agent, she also yearns for that place. If her artists can go there, then she...

After thinking about it, Zeng Jia glanced at Yang Mi and then gave up the unrealistic idea.

When Yang Mi heard the news, she also thought of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's "Star Luck".

Cannes is about to open!

She is also someone with artistic pursuits, and her envy of Liu Yifei right now is indescribable.

"Join the group."

…………

There is some enmity between the two in "Hongmen Banquet" and "The King's Feast".

Lu Chuan was kicked out of the project by the former's producer, so he invested in the film "The King's Feast".

It has been two months since the filming of the latter started. Now that "Hongmen Banquet" is started, the media is paying special attention to it.

"The epic blockbuster "Hongmen Banquet" with an investment of 150 million yuan officially starts filming today!"

"After "Gong Lock Heart Jade", Feng Shaofeng and Yang Mi once again played the couple Xiang Yu and Yu Ji in "Hongmen Banquet"!"

"The winner between "Hongmen Banquet" and "The King's Feast" is worth looking forward to..."

…………

Every time she travels far away, Liu Yifei always has several suitcases.

Going to the Cannes Film Festival this time will take a little longer, and I seem to have brought more things with me...
