That year Huayu

The old men of Golden Rooster have done something wrong again.

This year’s registration standards have added new regulations.

Any film with an investment of less than 8 million is not eligible to compete for individual awards.

That is, you cannot participate in the selection of any individual awards such as best director, starring, supporting actor, screenwriter, etc.

In other words, the Best Picture Award in the main unit is definitely a no-brainer.

Because this type of film can only go to the new, separately established "Small-Cost Film Unit" to compete for the only award within this unit: the "Best Small-Cost Film Award."

As soon as this new regulation was issued, it aroused ridicule and condemnation from the entire film industry.

Looking at film festivals around the world, this is the first time I’ve seen this kind of joke!

"Even film festivals have begun to dislike the poor and favor the rich..."

"This is so ironic. What should directors Lin Nan, Jia Zhangke, Wang Quan'an, Wang Xiaoshuai, Gu Changwei and other great directors think?

Their award-winning works at the three major European film festivals are not even eligible to register for the main section of the Golden Rooster Award this year! "

Faced with doubts from public opinion, the vice chairman of the association was able to quibble:

“The new regulations are precisely to protect small-budget films.

In addition, "Into the Dust", "Tuya's Marriage", "Three Gorges", etc. are all good movies, but the national conditions are different and cannot be generalized..."

As for how to determine whether the investment in a movie has reached 8 million, Jinji's answer is more "operational".

"It's really impossible to define it in detail, but the Golden Rooster Award is a professional award. Many experts can estimate the approximate cost after watching the film..."

Although Lin Nan had long given up on domestic film festivals, seeing this news still made her feel a little disgusting.

All general and vague regulations and explanations will most likely turn into favor transactions and interest exchanges...

The approach of this group of people is indeed a bit naked, and has aroused the resistance of many filmmakers.

Lin Nan heard that many directors and producers in the industry resolutely rejected the invitation even though their films met the requirements of the Golden Rooster Award, and turned around and signed up for the Golden Horse.

For example, Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly", Gu Changwei's "Favorite", "Gang's Piano", "Martial Arts"...

Public opinion was boiling again, but Jin Rooster's attitude was completely nonchalant.

…………

Within half a month of its release, the box office of "Painted Skin 2" reached 550 million.

This data makes it the fourth-ranked movie in the domestic box office list after "Earthquake".

And as expected by the industry, this movie has a lot of box office potential.

The producers Xiying and Ningying were more excited than the other.

Han Sanping and others even decided to give Wu Ershan a bonus after the movie was released, to which Lin Nan had no objection.

The film market in July is destined to be dominated by "Painted Skin 2", leaving other films unable to fight back.

In view of this situation, movies to be released in the second half of the year have begun to promote in advance, for fear of another movie similar to "Painted Skin 2".

"Um?"

Lin Nan was in the office and saw the news on the Internet.

"Hongmen Banquet" officially wrapped up today, and a shutdown press conference was held in the capital.

"The epic masterpiece "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" with an investment of 200 million, held a finalization press conference in Beijing today."

"The film studio claims that the movie has been confirmed to be released on November 29, and will be the first shot of the Lunar New Year movie!"

"Yang Mi, who plays Yu Ji, is the only heroine in this film..."

"Feng Shaofeng and Yang Mi will play the on-screen couple again..."

In the live video reported by the media, you can see the main creative staff with smiles on their faces.

"If nothing else, the Lunar New Year holiday is a big time. We hope to achieve good results and be worthy of the 200 million investment."

Although Li Rengang's speech was reserved, it was full of confidence.

Finally, the crew handed the microphone to Yang Mi, and everyone looked at her, who understood the meaning.

"I hope the box office of "Legend of Hongmen Banquet" can exceed that of "Painted Skin 2"."

Yang Mi was the only one on the scene who could say this without appearing so arrogant and abrupt.

After all, she also participated in "Painted Skin 2", and this is a movie controlled by Lin Nan Pictures, so she belongs to her own.

The crew gave her the microphone for a very pure purpose, hoping that she could ride on the popularity of "Painted Skin 2".

Yang Mi's speech was indeed widely reported.

"'Hongmen Banquet' will compete with 'Painted Skin 2', with a box office target of 700 million or even higher."

"All the actors are confident in "The Banquet at Hongmen", and the movie will surely top the list during the Lunar New Year!"

…

Lin Nan didn't care much about the hype over there.

No matter how loud the slogans are when promoting the movie. But what the actual situation will be depends on whether the audience will buy it after it is released.

"I gave Zeng Jia a lot of autonomy. Facts have proved that she is an excellent agent with very strong business ability..."

This is the decision made by Yue Jun. Although Lin Nan felt something was wrong, he did not object in the end.

Because no matter how you look at it, this is not a big deal.

…………

Liu Xiaoli took Liu Yifei back to visit relatives.

The reporters are very good. Photos of the two shopping together have appeared online.

White top, floral skirt, Liu Xiaoli with outstanding temperament, and...

When Lin Nan saw the photo, he had a helpless smile on his face.

Single ponytail, peaked cap, large burgundy sunglasses...

Liu Yifei wears a gray T-shirt with leopard print on her upper body, ripped jeans and high-heeled sandals on her lower body.

Whether it is earthy or foreign, it all depends on one face!

Just like this, it still looks so beautiful and stunning, making many passers-by stop in their tracks!

…………

"Director Lin, it will take at most five days for the construction to be completed."

"Well, the filming team is also ready."

After hanging up the phone with Guo Fan, Lin Nan asked someone to confirm the schedule of the next few actors.

Liu Dehua and Zhou Xun have made announcements recently. Fortunately, it will all be over in these two days.

Reba and Lei Jiayin are our own people, but they are always waiting for news about joining the group.

"Star" will be released in August. Although it is a romantic literary film, it won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes.

And because it was directed by Lin Nan and starred by him and Liu Yifei, many domestic films chose to avoid this schedule.

Now there is only one popular Hong Kong film left, "Overheard 2", which will compete with "The Star" in the same schedule.

This situation led to the clustering of domestic films in the following months.

The films currently being promoted are all films that will be released in September and beyond.

Among them, "Painting on the Wall" and "The Legend of White Snake" have the most intense publicity competition. They are the same commercial film type, the same mythical and magical theme, and are scheduled on the same day. They are simply head-to-head!

…………

"Painted Skin 2" broke through 600 million, 615 million, 629 million...

Now, all production companies in the industry are jealous.

The box office of this movie has exceeded 700 million. There is no suspense anymore, and it will most likely surpass "Let the Bullets Fly".

Looking at "Martial Arts" again, the daily box office has dropped by one million, and the current revenue is 125 million. The final box office data should stop at around 130 million.

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" slowly reached 350 million, with half of its release time left! This delay has made many production companies feel aggrieved and helpless...

capital Airport.

Liu Dehua and his assistant were squatted by the media.

"Is Hua Zai here to participate in any activities this time?"

"no."

Liu Dehua is very professional. If Lin Nan didn't say anything, he wouldn't say that he was here to prepare to join the group.

Journalists are also smart people, and the press releases they sent out were just speculations that "Passengers" was about to start filming. After all, the producers have not announced any news at all.

Until the media caught up with Zhou Xun, who returned to Beijing, and newcomer Reba, they were sure.

"Director Lin Nan's new film, "Passengers," is about to start filming. The three main actors have already gathered in the capital..."

"Newcomer Reba is a little nervous in front of the camera."

…………

Liu Yifei came back in the last two days.

"If you don't come back, I will put up a life-size portrait of you on the sign when we take the main and creative photos at the launch site."

"Huh, then you'll be dead by then!"

Liu Yifei pretended to be fierce, glared at Lin Nan, and then handed over a big box.

"Here, here's a gift for you."

"What? It can't be hot dry noodles, right? I can't get used to it..."

In the murderous aura, Lin Nan shut his mouth and accepted it with a smile. He was just joking.

Open the box and find a box full of strawberries! ?

"Try it. I went to the plantation to pick this in the morning, and then flew back..."

Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan with a smile on her face and talked about her life these days.

It seems that Miss Liu was asked a lot about Lin Nan...

…………

"It's a pity that "The Banquet at Hongmen" was completed a little late. It didn't catch up with Director Lin's "Passengers."

Yang Mi said with a little regret.

"There's nothing we can do about it, but there are quite a few new drama appointments coming in, and I think they're all good. Let's take a few picks."

Zeng Jia glanced at Yang Mi and said in a good mood, her artist is now a stable first-line star!

"Is there any conflict in time? Can you accept them all?" Yang Mi's first reaction was this.

"It shouldn't be much of a conflict, but there is some good news. Do you want to hear it?"

"What good news?" Yang Mi asked.

"I heard that Director Chen is looking for a supporting actress. Do you want to go and audition?"

Zeng Jia's words immediately cheered up Yang Mi.

"Director Chen? Which Director Chen?"

"Haha, it's what you thought. Is this good news?"

"Yeah, that's good news."

Yang Mi was a little excited at this time. She thought that she should have a better chance than many actresses.

"Then I'll submit your audition resume for you?"

"Well, as soon as possible, don't miss it!"

Yang Mi hurriedly said that no actor could refuse this kind of audition opportunity.

Filming teams began to station in China Film Digital Production Base one after another.

This news cannot be hidden from the industry and the media. After all, there are many other crews busy at the digital production base.
