Chapter 104: Get Rid of Zhao Yanzi?

The media's sense of smell is always so sensitive.

The next day, the news about the cooperation between Xijie and Lin Nan spread.

"Didn't you say what movie it was?"

"It seems to be a gangster movie or something like that."

Most people in the industry stopped caring when they heard that it was a movie similar to "Infernal Affairs". The box office of such movies generally does not make any waves in China.

When he arrived at the company the next day, Lin Nan threw this matter to the finance department to look after.

"We may have to move the company once this year." Lin Nan said.

Everyone instantly became curious.

"Director Lin, where are we going to move to?"

"It's not decided yet, but I plan to expand the scope of business in the middle of the year. By then, I will definitely expand the staff. This place is not suitable now.

Lin Nan simply talked to the employees.

"What business do we want to add?"

"There should be TV series production, right? "

The discussion started and could not be stopped.

Lin Nan went into the office alone. It was good to tell everyone about this matter in advance. As for the spread, it was nothing. It was a matter of time.

The share of the revenue from "Dead Silence" made Lin Nan a lot of money. Adding the investment amount of the premium sold to Huayi and Wanda, the investment in "Journey to the Center of the Earth" was equivalent to only 1.6 million US dollars.

Adding the money earned from the movies in recent years, in addition to the expenses of buying stocks and copyrights, he really has a small fortune.

In 2006, the Olympics are getting closer and closer, and the land price in the capital will definitely rise.

Lin Nan feels it is necessary to buy a property to As a new company office address, we don't need those CBD locations, and we don't make money by storefronts. It's best to be near several art schools, which is affordable and convenient.

...

Liu Yifei called Lin Nan to tell her that she and Shu Chang went to see the performance and wrapped it tightly.

"The drama version of "Stone" they adapted is very good, and the other dramas are also comedies. Chang Chang laughed from beginning to end and got a stitch in the side. Now she is curled up on the sofa and dare not move, hehe..."

"Xixi, you are saying bad things about me again..."

Shu Chang's complaints can be heard across the phone.

"Okay, you go ahead, I'm hanging up, bye."

Liu Yifei said to Lin Nan while teasing Shu Chang, and there was a sound of fighting in the microphone.

"Well, okay, you hang up."

Lin Nan said softly.

When it comes to Shu Chang, Lin Nan feels that he doesn't know what to say about her. Before, she said she wanted to study, broke up with her agent, and recently took a youth idol drama without anyone noticing.

"It's really one thing after another. "

Lin Nan had no impression of this TV series. Without an agent to check it, it was probably another flop.

The directing department contacted Lin Nan. This was the first time they contacted him in the name of the department.

"There will be a professional exam for the Master of Arts on the 14th, which is also an interview. You can come and participate together."

This is much more exciting than asking Lin Nan to participate in the art exam.

"I'm only a senior, isn't it inappropriate to go to the interview?"

Lin Nan felt that they were too frivolous. They couldn't say that they had a good reputation in the previous art exam, and now they let him take it again.

Although it is a Master of Arts without a diploma, it is still a master.

"The leaders of the Graduate Department agreed, and Director Tian Zhuangzhuang also thinks you are qualified."

Teacher Jiang said without even raising his eyelids.

Seeing that Lin Nan was silent, Old Jiang raised his head, "You choose your own classmates, isn't it interesting?"

A word awakened the dreamer!

Lin Nan's thoughts jumped at this moment, "Brush off Zhao Yanzi? "

This idea scared Lin Nan, but he just couldn't get rid of it.

"Okay, I'll do it." Lin Nan said firmly.

"Yes, I will apply, and I will issue a notice later."

Old Jiang smiled happily. Since Lin Nan transferred to the directing department, he has never been blocked in the evaluation of professional titles in the past three years. It won't be long before he can supervise graduate students.

After leaving the directing department office, Lin Nan suddenly realized that he had taken it for granted just now.

"Oh, my brain is down, how can I think about these things?"

Lin Nan simply ran to Tian Zhuangzhuang's office.

"Teacher."

"Sit down. Xiao Jiang told you?"

"Yes, it's a bit sudden." Lin Nan replied.

"There are 20 places, ten for feature film major, you have already taken one, four for documentary major, and six for master of arts. This is the number of admissions for the graduate school of the directing department this year. "

Tian Zhuangzhuang said indifferently, without any intention of keeping it secret.

"If it is a feature film or documentary major, even if you are capable and a big director, I will not let you come to avoid suspicion.

But the Master of Arts is another matter, you are fully qualified to come."

Tian Zhuangzhuang set up the discrimination chain with just two sentences.

"Originally, I was reluctant to take the Master of Arts, this thing is too watery and too fake. But this is the first year after all, and the school is a pilot unit, so I can't avoid it."

"That's it, and some people came to use the back door and build relationships before."

Tian Zhuangzhuang said the last sentence unhappily.

Lin Nan felt a little uneasy at this moment, and he didn't call him to do the dirty work.

Tian Zhuangzhuang looked up and looked at Lin Nan with a smile, "When the time comes, you will be stricter and brush it off when it should be brushed off."

"Haha, teacher, you are calling me to take the blame."

"This is straightforward, hahaha." Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't say it was not.

Lin Nan felt relieved at this moment.

...

The director of "King Kong" is also the director of "Lord of the Rings".

On the road to the industrialization of the film industry, Hollywood blockbusters have been on a roll.

The current domestic film production is still in the small workshop mode, unable to produce blockbusters and large special effects, or the production cycle is very long and the organizational structure is bloated.

Liu Yifei was going to see "King Kong", and Lin Nan could only accompany her.

There was a media screening of "King Kong" before, and Huaxia Film Company sent an invitation to Lin Nan, but when the Showbox people arrived that day, Lin Nan stuffed the invitation and threw it to the company. I don't know who went in the end. Anyway, I heard that it was a lottery. Determined person.

It was pitch dark in the theater, and Liu Yifei was wearing ordinary clothes, so she didn't have to worry too much about being recognized.

The media said before that this was a movie for women, but Lin Nan believed it now.

Women are more emotional, and it is mostly girls who wipe away tears.

A gorilla's persistence in feelings moved many female viewers.

Liu Yifei was okay, leaning on Lin Nan's shoulder, just lamenting why this orangutan was put to death and exterminated when it was clear that it had not messed with humans.

"Perhaps this is an extreme manifestation of human cowardice and selfishness. Doesn't director Peter Jackson like this?"

Lin Nan felt that the great director was addicted to filming masterpieces such as "The Lord of the Rings". "King Kong" also lasted more than three hours, and his shoulders were a little sore at the moment.

"But the special effects are so shocking. There seem to be very few movies like this in China."

Liu Yifei said, "I don't know when it will be filmed."

"Even if we have to go over there and secretly do it, it would be difficult if we do it ourselves. The talent, equipment, and technology are all too far behind."

Lin Nan thought for a while and said.

…

Yesterday when I was watching a movie with Liu Yifei, the second round of competition for the Olympic chief director was held in Kuangou.

This time, I didn’t specifically mention the confidentiality issue, because the results had already spread within a small area.

Except for the Evans directing team, the other four teams all won first place in a certain category, but Zhang Yimou was even better, ranking first in the total score of 22 categories.

Although the official letter of appointment has not yet been issued, the results are already obvious.

"Director Zhang is so awesome. The defeat in Athens didn't even knock him down, and he suddenly got the position of chief director in 2008."

"Only Yimou has the ability and strength to complete a world-class event like the Olympic opening ceremony, just like he opened the prelude to a domestic blockbuster..."

Zhang Weiping's confidence comes from Zhang Yimou. Everyone in the industry knows this, but not many people like him. He is too arrogant and domineering.

Taking some free time, Lin Nan also congratulated Jiang Wenli for being such a great guide that he announced to the public that his wife was pregnant again.

"Are you almost fifty? What do you eat every day?"

Ning Hao couldn't help but sigh.

"How about I ask you? I'm not familiar with Director Gu, but I can talk to Sister Wen Li. It should be no problem to ask Director Gu about her health recipes."

Lin Nan joked.

Ning Hao's face darkened instantly, but Xing Aina was a little moved.

"Actually, it's okay to ask, as for health maintenance, it's better to start early."

Saying that, Xing Aina also patted Ning Hao.

"What did you say?"

Ning Hao was speechless.

"I heard that you sold a script to Bangzi?"

Ning Hao changed the topic at the right time, and if the conversation continued, he would be embarrassed by himself as a married man.

"Yes, this script was written based on the environment there. It is much darker than "Infernal Affairs", so it can be filmed without restraint."

When "Infernal Affairs" was introduced to the mainland, it was reviewed and considered for a long time. If a mainland director made it himself, he would definitely not be allowed to do it, let alone something like "The New World."

"I just like this kind of book, the analysis of human nature, good and evil, black and white, social contradictions..."

When Ning Hao started talking, he started to do his old tricks again.

"Come on, if you do this in the future, the higher ups will teach you how to behave."

Lin Nan reminded.

"Just teach me, wait until they teach me."

Ning Hao looked indifferent, and Xing Ai seemed to agree with this.

The topic changed and we talked about Li An's "Broken Wall Mountain" again.

Ning Hao didn't know where he got the disc from, and said with a sigh on his face: "I watched it in the company. From the director's point of view, it was very good. This kind of film can only be shot outside. I guess this time he The probability of winning is very high.”

"Nonsense, he has swept so many pre-award awards, and he also has the support of special groups..."

Lin Nan couldn't go on. When the film was being filmed during the school period, the students in the directing department were informed in advance that it was only for study and not to get distracted.

Many students went to see it, but Lin Nan didn't go anyway. Later I heard that some students felt very uncomfortable after watching it.

They are all young people, and some of them watch movies only for the filming techniques, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not know the plot. The great director has a strong ability to contagion, and then if he takes it for himself, it will be disgusting...
