That year Huayu

Chapter 1208 Only Lin Nan can play like this! Arrival...

"At around nine in the morning, Director Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Zhou Xun, Shu Chang and their entourage appeared at the Capital Airport; the Marriage Story crew will officially depart for Lido Island today to participate in the Venice International Film Festival..."

"So far, nearly 100 filmmakers in the industry, including Director Ning Hao, Xing Aina, Huang Bo, Wu Tian, ​​Xie Nan... Huang Xiaoming... Zhang Ziyi, have reposted Director Lin Nan's Weibo, strongly recommending the urban fantasy comedy romance film "The Second Generation of the Fairy"..."

…

The crew of "Marriage Story" boarded a plane and flew to Venice, and Old Lintou boarded the plane home half an hour earlier than his son and daughter-in-law.

Therefore, they cannot see any of the excitement on the Internet.

"Oh wow, Director Lin made a sweet movie for us? I'm looking forward to it for some reason, aren't you?"

"You're wrong. The movie is directed by Ning Hao, and Director Lin and Xixi are the male and female protagonists. Comedy + sweet love, this lineup and combination is absolutely fine..."

"I swear, this is the first time I've seen a movie promoted this way in all these years. Director Lin is so brave, well, overconfident, but he doesn't give people the feeling of being conceited or pretentious at all!"

"Nonsense, the reputation and box office influence that Lin Yin has accumulated in the past 15 years is no joke.

Moreover, he really respects the audience and is sincere enough to tell you directly that this is a sweet fantasy love comedy movie, which does not preach moral principles or moral kidnapping... If you don’t like it, please don’t watch it.”

"Let me analyze a few points: Director Ning directed it, Xing Aina produced it, Director Lin and Liu Yifei starred in it, Shen Teng played the mentally ill villain...especially Xixi played the vixen...this movie can be summed up in two words: perfect."

"I admit that. Her looks are really amazing. She matches perfectly with the nine-tailed fox. She looks very fairy-like..."

In just one morning, Lin Nan’s long Weibo post last night has maximized the publicity effect of "The Second Generation of the Fairy".

The entire mainland film and television industry was stunned by his actions. It turns out that movie promotion can be done this way?

“Don’t think too much. This method is only suitable for him. Other directors in the industry are not suitable. If you blindly imitate Lin Nan, you will end up with something worse than what you have achieved.

Because just as people say online, Lin Nan can do this and succeed because of the reputation and influence he has accumulated over the years, as well as his sufficient respect for the audience.

Believe it or not, if Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang were to learn this, they would definitely be criticized by the audience. Even Zhang Yimou would inevitably be ridiculed. Of course, this is not his style..."

In the chairman's office of China Film Group, La Peikang analyzed confidently. At this moment, sitting opposite him were some of the main creators of Sky Hunter, all of whom were nodding and smiling.

After careful consideration and communication and negotiation with other producers, La Peikang finally decided to take Li Chen and others to the Venice International Film Festival... and add a film promotion booth.

"It can be seen that when Director Lin Nan made this film, he was completely following his interest and heart; he might not even care much about the box office."

The people from Huaxia Film analyzed with a smile. Yesterday, Xiying just passed a note to the group, saying that Huaxia Film would be the main distributor of Pacific Rim 2 in China, with Guangguang playing a supporting role.

"Well, it seems that he is indeed in this state of mind. Well, let's stop here today. Li Chen, you guys should gather at the China Film Academy tomorrow morning... let's set off together."

"Okay, Ladong."

…

After a 10-hour flight, when Lin Nan woke up, he and his group had landed in Milan, Italy.

Outside the airport, Jiang Xingrou and her group were waiting early. Then it was another two hours' drive, and in total it took 12 hours before they finally reached the Venice Lido Island.

It was just after 1 p.m. Italian time, and a large number of filmmakers, crews, actors, stars, and media from all over the world had already gathered on Lido Island.

The island with blue sky, white clouds and pleasant climate is a great time and place to hold a film festival and vacation!

"This year's Venice International Film Festival has more 'Chinese elements' than in previous years. I have seen so many Chinese stars in the past few days that I can hardly count them all."

On the way back to the hotel, Jiang Xingrou made some veiled jokes.

Lin Nan and the others understood what she meant. The three major film festivals were indeed getting more lively every year, and the number of people attending was increasing year by year...

"Wow, long time no see, James..."

When they met Wen Zairen at the corner, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were very happy and introduced Zhou Xun and Shu Chang to him. Zhou Xun seemed to be somewhat well-known, and Wen Zairen had heard of her.

After exchanging pleasantries for a few minutes and agreeing to meet again another day, Lin Nan and the others waved goodbye to Wen Zairen, who was going to the beach to surf; his wife was already there.

"Huh? Wu Yusen is here too?" Outside the resort hotel, Lin Nan saw Wu Yusen's personal poster.

"Director Lin, his film 'The Chase' seems to have been shortlisted for the screening unit as a representative of Hong Kong films. This is also the reason why Chairman La from China Film Group came here in person."

"It seems to have started shooting in June last year. It's been so long, I almost forgot about this movie. It was during the Lunar New Year holiday, right?"

"Yes, it is scheduled for this year's Lunar New Year holiday. On November 24, it will be the opening film of the Lunar New Year holiday."

“Wouldn’t that be very miserable for director Wu Yusen? Movies like ‘The Shameful Iron Fist’ and ‘Legend of the Demon Cat’ might crush ‘The Chase’ into nothing!” Even Zhou Xun, who has a good relationship with the Hong Kong circle, started to make fun of it.

"Okay, let's go into the hotel and make the most of the next two days to have fun." Liu Yifei shook her wrist and pointed towards the hotel with a smile.

Lin Nan looked at Jiang Xingrou and ordered, "Send someone to the organizing committee to report to the crew. They've already arrived."

"No problem, I'll have someone sign in over there later." Jiang Xingrou responded immediately.

…

"Lin Nan is here?"

In another hotel, Zhang Yimou, who had just met Takeshi Kitano, turned around and heard Lin Nan's letter.

"The crew of Marriage Story just arrived an hour ago, and the news has spread by now. After all, it is a film in the main competition unit this year, and Director Lin is a Golden Lion director."

Zhang Mo said this seriously with a smile on his face.

She has been in a very good mood these days because Zhang Yimou introduced her to many international directors, producers and screenwriters, and unlike before, this time he was intentionally trying to expand her network.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

You have to know that in the past 15 years, Zhang Yimou has only come to A-level film festivals once or twice, and almost never... or he has no idea of ​​paving the way for his daughter...

But now, after the successive "trouble" caused by Zhang Weiping and LeTV, he has come to his senses! Zhang Mo really didn't know what to say about this. In short, he was speechless.

"Let's go over there later." Zhang Yimou ordered calmly. In Venice this year, the eyes of the country were on Lin Nan.

"Yeah, okay."

…

As expected, actresses are busy.

Less than two hours after the group checked into the hotel, Liu Yifei, Zhou Xun, and Shu Chang were contacted by their brand owners;

They need to prepare for activities in the next few days in advance, which involve location shooting for advertising blockbusters, attending press conferences, media interviews, watching fashion shows... In short, they are very busy and there is something to do almost every day!

Looking at the film director Lin Nan, he seems to be a bit idle. At least apart from red carpet matters, there is almost no work coming to him.

Of course, copyright sales are an exception, but this is not a very busy task; because Jiang Xingrou is in charge of connecting with the copyright holders, Lin Nan only needs to do the final screening and make the final decision.

With a bunch of work plans thrown at them, the three ladies who had originally planned to go out to the beach soon were no longer in the mood; at least they were not interested this afternoon and evening, and they might as well stay in the hotel to adjust to the jet lag.

After all, the three of them were not like Lin Nan who slept all the way on the plane. Instead, they chatted for a long time, and the actual rest time was probably less than four hours.

…

The seven-hour time difference means that when it is dawn in Venice, it is already noon in China.

The first thing Lin Nan did after getting up in the morning was undoubtedly to check the daily box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" yesterday.

On the 26th, "Wolf Warrior 2" had a revenue of 32.67 million; the total box office accumulated over 31 days and exceeded 5.5 billion yesterday, reaching 5.53 billion!

Needless to say, the domestic headlines and hot searches continued for the whole morning, simply because Wolf Warrior 2 pushed the record of Operation Mekong up by more than 2.1 billion.

“Wolf Warrior 2 will be released soon! Once The Demons Strike Back is released in 18 hours, it will take away a lot of its screenings. After all, it will not reach 6 billion…” Lin Nan muttered to himself.

"Are you up? Then have breakfast quickly. Xun Ge'er, Chang Chang and I have made an appointment. We plan to have a good time today. We will be busy with announcements tomorrow. Do you want to go out with us?" Liu Yifei asked while standing at the bedroom door and tying her hair.

"Well, let's go together. We're free anyway." Lin Nan nodded without thinking and immediately got up to wash up.

The four of them, along with their assistants, left the hotel on time at nine o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Xingrou was still guarding the film exhibition area, busy receiving the endless stream of reporters and copyright dealers; although the film festival had not officially opened yet, copyright transactions were not subject to time restrictions.

What's more, Lin Nan is a well-known figure in the three major film festivals, so there are naturally many copyright holders who come to ask for screening tickets.

And almost all of these people have the intention to make an offer; of course, they can only make an offer after the closing ceremony and awards ceremony, which is Lin Nan’s practice!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"He has already arrived. He arrived yesterday afternoon."

"I see. Let's wait until the film festival officially opens."

"good."
