That year Huayu

As Guangguang's first independently produced commercial film, Wang Changtian attaches great importance to "Painted Wall".

The guests invited to this premiere included almost all the big names in the industry!

The media reporters on both sides of the red carpet were busy.

"The brothers from "The Legend of White Snake" sent a message saying that the guests are all second- and third-tier celebrities, and there are very few first-tier stars and artists. I have only seen a few here and there..."

"It makes sense, what's the status of Guangguang in the industry? It can't be compared to that over there, but Director Wang is indeed ruthless. Oops, a few big guys are here, take a quick photo..."

On the red carpet, Wang Changtian accompanied several state-owned enterprise bosses such as Han Sanping and Xiying as they entered the venue chatting and laughing.

There is an endless stream of filmmakers, film and television companies, and first- and second-tier stars in the industry.

Zhao Liying and Jiang Yiyan also appeared on the red carpet.

This is the first time Zhao Liying has been invited to attend a movie premiere simply because she is the female lead in Guangguang's "Four Famous Catchers".

"Our location will be relatively far back." Jiang Yiyan reminded as the venue was crowded.

"Yes, I know." Zhao Liying nodded.

She has been in the industry for several years, and she knows what position an artist of any status sits in.

…………

Liu Yifei wore light makeup and large burgundy sunglasses. A head of black and shiny hair, hanging freely. Wearing casual clothes, he looks even more carefree and free.

At this moment, she was holding the steering wheel with both hands, her nose slightly wrinkled, waiting for the green light.

Lin Nan, who was in the passenger seat, was a little helpless. His phone was vibrating and it was already 11 o'clock.

"You still won't answer?"

Liu Yifei turned her head and looked at Lin Nan, a little embarrassed.

Lin Nan answered the phone and heard noisy voices coming from the other side, as well as Wang Changtian's shouts.

"Say we'll see you later. It's been three hours. Where are you and Yifei?"

"Director Wang, there was a traffic jam and there are only two intersections left. It can be reached in ten minutes..."

"Okay, hurry up."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei next to her burst into laughter.

"You still have the nerve to laugh?"

"Oh, I'm already the driver myself. Don't worry, I'll definitely be there within an hour."

When the green light appeared, Liu Yifei stepped on the accelerator and blasted off. Lin Nan was caught off guard by the instant push on his back.

Miss Liu drives too wildly and is completely unladylike at this point!

…………

The premiere was very lively.

"Lin Nan and the others haven't come yet?"

Han Sanping and others looked at Wang Changtian who had returned and asked.

"Say there's a traffic jam, we'll be there in a minute."

…………

At around 11:40, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei hurried onto the red carpet.

The reporters didn't expect that even though they had to withdraw, they could still defend these two people.

When entering the venue, the two enjoyed the attention ceremony.

Wang Changtian came up to him, full of complaints but stopped talking.

Finally, he uttered six words: "Is this ten minutes?"

Liu Yifei's cheeks were slightly red, and she tightened Lin Nan's arm in embarrassment.

The latter smiled and said: "It's too congested. It's just an intersection. I just waited for half an hour..."

Wang Changtian looked at Lin Nan with an expression as if he was trying to fool him again, and didn't ask any further questions.

"Hurry up, it's about to start."

Lin Nan led Liu Yifei to the front row, saw Zhao Liying on the way, and said hello.

…………

On the left and right sides were acquaintances, Ning Ying and Wanda.

All the main creators were in place on the stage.

To be honest, the cast of "Painted Wall" is really shabby, far inferior to that of its neighbor "The Legend of White Snake".

The hype point of this movie may include the topic of Deng Chao and Sun Li's first collaboration after their marriage.

…

It's obviously a movie premiere, but here at the Light, it always feels like a TV station hosting a party.

Liu Yan was wearing cool clothes and belly dancing;

Zou Zhaolong performs knife skills and striptease, while Yan Ni dances beside him;

After the atmosphere increased, Zou Zhaolong even carried Liu Yan and did a spin in the air...

However, the atmosphere at the scene was indeed stirred up.

…………

The movie starts.

The magnificent and unpredictable world of painted walls suddenly attracted everyone's attention. Inside is a kingdom of girls.

The original work is less than a thousand words, so it is indeed not easy to adapt it into a feature-length film.

"The only shortcoming of this movie is that the plot is a bit simple and the emotional foreshadowing is not enough. But with a production cost of 30 million, it is already a success!"

Lin Nan quickly gave his evaluation, and Liu Yifei nodded, "It's not as good as "Painted Skin"."

…………

When the movie ended, the applause was very warm.

"We also have to thank director Lin Nan for taking the lead in the two "Painted Skin" films. We have absolute confidence in the profitability of "Painted Wall"."

Chen Jia Shang glanced at Lin Nan on the stage and said to everyone with a smile.

Talking about the special effects of this movie, the host on stage extended an invitation to Lin Nan.

"Let me tell you? Then I have to complain about Director Wang."

The people below were very curious about what Lin Nan wanted to say.

"Dr. Wang is so stingy that he actually asked me to give him a discount before starting the production. He originally thought that just this once, Tiangong Colors would make some hard-earned money.

But in the end, I found out that I didn’t even earn my hard-earned money, so my hard work was in vain!

Well, in the future, when everyone looks for Tiangong Colors to do special effects, don’t mention discounts, it’s too hurtful..."

As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.

…………

"Director Lin, Yifei."

Deng Chao took Sun Li and took the initiative to come over and say hello.

To be honest, these two couples are also typical smart people in the industry.

Lin Nan's people didn't arrive last time, but the money did arrive.

Chen Jia Shang, Zou Zhaolong and Yan Ni, these three people, Lin Nan had a good impression.

The latter two are also rare good actors with very good acting skills.

Liu Yifei went to the other side and was chatting with Xie Nan and Liu Yan. Well, let's get something to eat.

In addition, this Bao Bei'er, who is known as the "Brother of Light", is a bit like that. He deliberately tries to please and flatter, which really makes Lin Nan feel very uncomfortable.

But in other words, in the entertainment industry, this kind of people can often gain a foothold because there are always big bosses who like to do this.

…………

The next day, coverage of the premieres of both films appeared online.

To Lin Nan's surprise, the media's coverage of the premieres of "Painting on the Wall" and "The Legend of White Snake" were surprisingly good.

On the light side, everyone can figure it out. After all, Wang Changtian's relationship is there.

But is "White Snake" so good?

It wasn't until Yue Jun explained with a smile that Lin Nan suddenly realized.

"Look, the media reported that the premiere of "Painted Wall" was attended by big names, but "White Snake" was described as having many guests. What does this mean?"

"There are many guests, in other words: the quality is not enough and the quantity is enough. They are all second- and third-tier actors, and there are less than ten first-tier actors.

Also, when the media reporters present left, everyone received a red envelope worth 1,000 yuan. Can we not say something nice about this? "

Yue Jun remembered the scene yesterday and smiled from ear to ear for a while.

"Director Lin, please read on. That guy Yang Zai is really brave. I didn't even have the nerve to expose him at the time."

Lin Nan glanced down and saw that the media had indeed highlighted Yang Zai's words at the premiere.

"Our "Legend of White Snake" initially had a budget of 180 million, and then made additional investments to 200 million and then 240 million twice!

As for the special effects, it cost 100 million, and the production cycle was as long as half a year. This movie is definitely one of the few large-scale fantasy romance films in China..."

Lin Nan was stunned. Is this what cowhide is? Is this how you lie? This is too much!

"I remember it was 30 million?"

"Yes, he chose the lowest level at that time, and the special effects production cost was 30 million. In addition, the production cycle was three months, not half a year."

"Awesome, no wonder we were asked to keep it a secret at that time. It turned out to be waiting here."

Lin Nan muttered, this guy doesn't have much wisdom, but he does have a lot of cleverness.

The movie market seemed to be ignited all of a sudden.

The audience is waiting for the release of "Painted Wall" and "White Snake", but "Revolution of 1911" has not attracted much attention.

Many netizens are joking that to a certain extent, the competition between "Painting on the Wall" and "White Snake" is also a competition between Tiangong's color special effects.

…………

Less than ten days after "Passengers" finished filming, Zhou Xun got another Hollywood role.

This made many actresses in the industry feel sour again.

Unlike Zhang Ziyi and Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun is much more low-key.

"I'm honored to have gotten a role that's just soy sauce. Anyway, I have nothing to do. I'm going to go and have a look..."

Regardless of whether it is a soy sauce role or not, it cannot be denied that "Cloud Atlas" is a science fiction suspense blockbuster with an investment of up to 100 million US dollars, which is higher than the investment of "Resident Evil 5" and "Dangerous Liaisons".

Zhou Xun's attitude is more popular among netizens than those two, and the messages are all full of congratulations and expectations.

The two movies at the beginning of the month have been forced to be released.

Huayi's "Global Love" invested 20 million and reported revenue of more than 50 million. It can only be said that it can barely breakeven!

The short, tight "Da Wu Sheng" is miserable. An investment of 70 million was invested in the movie, which was not doing well at the box office, but it even took the initiative to provoke Han Sanping.

As a result, the film schedule has been cut so much that now I can only draw it with a score of 40 million, which is a loss to my grandma’s family!

There is a high probability that in the future, no one will invest in Gaodagen again, and even if they invest, they will be very cautious.

…………

Several imported films are unscrupulously harvesting the box office, and "Norwegian Wood" and "Arthur 3: Final Showdown" were also released.

Many people in the industry are actively recommending this literary film from the island country. After all, the original work is really famous.

Liu Yifei also ran to read it and was a little disappointed when she came back. She might as well read the original work.

"It's good to be able to come in. It's impossible for the film bureau to not use the knife, but to cut it like this is indeed a bit excessive."

Lin Nan said with a smile that a work that was shortlisted for the Golden Lion Award was cut to pieces. For ordinary viewers, it makes reading the film a lot more difficult.

…………

"Um?"

Lin Nan was a little curious, why did Wang Changtian call again?

"Lin Nan, I want to talk to you about a movie..."

Wang Changtian got straight to the point and talked about the script, producer and production team.

After more than half an hour, Lin Nan refused.

"Why? About the pay?"

“It’s not about the pay.

Let's put it this way, in my opinion, this script is quite a bit of a make-up, and it also reflects Cao Cao's emotional entanglements in his later years.

I've never heard of that director, and he directly hired Zhang Yimou's team. Can he control it?

Is Changying determined to praise its own director?

I would not agree to her playing the role. Although this role is the female lead, she is just a foil...

………”

Wang Changtian on the other end of the phone was stunned for a while, but every word Lin Nan said seemed to make sense.

For a moment, Lao Wang was speechless.

"Okay, let me reply to them. They are in charge of this project..."
