Chapter 1182: One Step at a Time; Rejection Again

"The main theme commercial film "Eight Hundred", produced by Huayi, co-invested by Guanhu's Seven Impressions Films, and written and directed by Guanhu, was publicly approved at the Magic City International Film Festival this morning..."

"Huayi Chairman Wang Zhongjun introduced on the spot that the film "Eight Hundred" is based on the Battle of Songhu in 1937, aiming to praise the "Eight Hundred Warriors" of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division of the Third War Zone of the National Revolutionary Army;

The budget investment amount of the film is as high as 700 million yuan... From now on, it will be open to the domestic film and television industry for casting... The initial plan is to land in the summer of next year..."

"In the morning, many film and television giants such as China Film, Northern Film Group, and Huashi Entertainment held a film project press conference in Hall 1 of the Magic City International Film Festival;

The hard-core science fiction blockbuster "Shanghai Fortress", adapted from a super IP, was officially approved. The film has an initial investment of 400 million yuan and is directed by the famous domestic director Teng Huatao... The casting work will start today..."

For a whole morning, all the industry insiders and media at the film festival were attracted by the two newly approved blockbusters.

Undoubtedly, these are two top-notch movie resources, which are naked pie and cake in the circle!

Lin Nan and his friends were not interested in this, because they knew it early.

And the actors around him have indeed seen a lot of good resources. In addition, Lin Nan picked some thorns behind the scenes of these two movies, so everyone naturally didn't care, and even deliberately distanced themselves.

"Good guy, the Houston Film Festival award is actually used for promotion? It's really like being slapped in the face, and it doesn't hurt or feel embarrassed at all?"

Wandering in the film festival exhibition area, Ning Hao first saw the promotional poster of "Reverse Time Rescue", and the complaint immediately came out.

"Black and red are also red, it's all marketing strategies." Lin Nan glanced at it and couldn't help but tease.

"Why, are you still thinking about what Mr. Han said? But you know what, this is the first time I found him so good at getting excited. It gives me the feeling that if you can't get the director's position, you will be sorry for the people.

But then again, after all, we have to go to the frontier to shoot on the spot, it's better for our own people to direct. I heard that they have already spoken to Disney and promised to provide all possible help during the whole shooting process..."

"This is my first time to contact foreign dramas. In public, it's the hints from above; in private, it's personal interests - there are a little bit of both." Lin Nan answered irrelevantly.

"In the final analysis, it's because we can't do global distribution ourselves. So it's obviously our own "Mulan", but Hollywood is doing well in the global film market."

"Director Lin? Director Ning?" A light call attracted the attention of Lin Nan and Ning Hao. The two turned their heads subconsciously, "Zhang Yu? You are here at the film festival too?"

To be honest, Lin Nan and Ning Hao were a little surprised to see Zhang Yu at the Magic City International Film Festival. Because the latter is too small, and it seems that there are no movies being promoted?

"I auditioned for Director Han, but I haven't heard back, and I'm not willing to give up... I really think I'm suitable for this kind of movie, so..."

Yes, I heard that he came to Han Jianu to recommend himself. It's understandable, after all, the competition pressure for young actors is ridiculous, and they will naturally try their best when they see an opportunity.

"She is too lazy. She plans to start auditions from July 1st. Of course you won't receive any news. By the way, don't you have her contact information?"

Hearing Lin Nan's inquiry, Zhang Yu shook his head embarrassedly. When he participated in "Dying to Survive", he didn't even think about asking for Han Jianu's contact information.

Because he is just an unknown little actor, and Han Jianu is not only a screenwriter and assistant director, but also her biological father is Han Sanping, which is completely two different classes. Which big guys would give contact information to low-level actors? Why would they give you contact information?

If he really didn't want to miss the role and the opportunity, he wouldn't have made up his mind to recommend himself, after all, he really couldn't find any film and television resources.

After giving Zhang Yu Han Jianu's phone number, Lin Nan smiled and patted his shoulder, and simply went all the way:

"You were originally selected by Jianu and Director Han to play in "Dying to Survive", and you did a really good job, didn't you?

So I'll save you a few steps. When you contact Director Han, tell her that it was me who said that you don't have to audition. I'll also say hello to her later."

"Ah? Thank you, thank you Director Lin, thank you..."

Ning Hao didn't do anything, but he got a few thanks for nothing. This is really a bit fucked up.

...

Three more days passed, and the atmosphere of the Magic City International Film Festival gradually reached its climax.

At the same time, the border has been heating up, and the patriotic sentiment of the whole nation has completely reached the boiling point, and it continues to boil...

In this case, the actors and stars in the film and television entertainment industry dare not speak freely; because the remarks of public figures can easily ignite the suppressed and restless public opinion and negative emotions on the Internet like sparks.

Let's watch movies-"Under the Ice" and "Pure Heart·Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry".

It's funny to say that "Under the Ice", starring Huang Bo, Song Jia, Xiao Shenyang and Liu Hua, is not as "supported" by industry insiders as "Pure Heart·Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry".

You know, the former is a shortlisted film in the main competition unit of this year's Shanghai International Film Festival!

After all, the latter has more background and connections in the industry, after all, it is the Beijing Film Academy's Performance School that is arranging it.

Of course, Lin Nan resolutely rejected the "Dreaming in the Entertainment Industry" a long time ago. In the morning, he and Liu Yifei went to support "Under the Ice", but...

"To be honest, I really think this movie is boring. No wonder there are rumors that it will not be released in theaters. If it is released in theaters, Huang Bo's lowest movie box office record will be refreshed."

After coming out of the exhibition hall, Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh and tease Liu Yifei.

"Don't rush to comment on this movie, take a look over there." Liu Yifei pursed her lips and smiled playfully, pointing to a place not far away.

Lin Nan glanced at it. Wow, the insiders and media practitioners who came out of the "Pure Heart · Chasing the Entertainment Industry" exhibition hall almost all had constipated expressions.

"Yes, I was definitely shocked by the wonderfulness of the movie." While talking and laughing, Lin Nan saw Wu Tian and Xie Nan and waved.

Sure enough, the two of them walked over quickly as if they had seen a "life-saving straw" to talk to.

"Director Lin, you two are wise to choose to support this movie.

I have to complain to you two. If it weren't for the embarrassment of rejecting the invitation of the Film Academy and fear of being impolite, my Xie Nan and I would have come out 10 minutes into the show.

What kind of thing was that? It simply magnified the flaws to the extreme, and generalized the entire film and television art industry...

If that's the case, then what is the director of this movie? Is he dirty or clean? What is the Film Academy? What are all the art academies?"

Hearing Wu Tian's question, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei both nodded slightly - well said!

"How is the promotion plan for Wolf Warrior 2 adjusted?" Lin Nan changed the subject. There were too many people here, so it was better not to let Wu Tian say bad things, so as not to offend people by being on the headlines.

Speaking of business, Wu Tian immediately became energetic, "Starting from the 1st of next month, I will lead people to run promotions for another 20 days, and I will invest more money in Internet platform promotions. In addition, I want to change the premiere on the 23rd to the Great Hall! I am just about to talk to you, Director Lin, Producer Liu, and Director Wang about this."

"Great Hall? Sure." Lin Nan agreed without hesitation.

"I seem to have heard from Jia Nu yesterday that the premiere of The Founding of an Army was also changed to the Great Hall?" Liu Yifei suddenly reminded.

"That's on the 22nd, and ours is on the 23rd. But speaking of it, it is true that the two movies will be tit-for-tat from the premiere!"

At this point, Wu Tian was inexplicably excited, and his expression was also full of obvious expectations.

"Then let's start with "The Founding of an Army." Lin Nan was also a little bit possessed, and half-jokingly and half-seriously joked.

...

On the 24th, the screenings of "Reverse Time Rescue" and "Eternal Love" attracted a lot of media attention, and Yang Mi stole the show.

The bloodiness of the second half of the year, especially the summer season, has been completely predicted; in the eyes of the industry, it is definitely a bloody battle...

Early in the morning of the 25th, the meeting in the bureau brought together the entire film and television industry, the top of the pyramid, and the people and groups; including major film and television companies, film and television Internet platforms, TV stations, major associations, and actor and artist representatives...

At 8:30, Lin Nan successfully arrived outside the venue and met Wang Wei.

Tudou.com is a film and television Internet platform, the largest buyer of film and television works on the Internet, and a crucial link in the "salary limit order", so it is naturally indispensable.

"Director Lin, after the meeting this morning, I will take people to Hong Kong Island to arrange the following matters. We will meet at noon the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, OK." Lin Nan nodded in response.

The day after tomorrow morning, Tudou will officially announce the number and price of the first round of shares issued, and in the evening there will be a listing dinner for Tudou; the day after tomorrow morning, the official listing will be launched... and then there will be a large celebration reception for the successful listing.

In the huge conference hall, at a glance, it is completely possible to seat six or seven hundred people.

Lin Nan was taken directly to the first row. His identity and status were long enough for the first row. Facing him was the rostrum, which was undoubtedly the position of the leaders in the bureau.

A huge crowd of people flowed in the conference hall. Before the leaders arrived, Lin Nan was inevitably disturbed by people in the circle. No, what troubles come.

"Director Lin." Wang Zhonglei walked away with a smile. Around, Wang Changtian, Liu Xiaobin, Yu Dong and others almost all cast suspicious eyes.

"Boss Wang, what's up?" Lin Nan sat there, not even trying to stand up.

Wang Zhonglei was not annoyed at all, still smiling:

"A few days ago, I mentioned to Director Yue that I wanted to invite Zhang Yi and others to star in "Eight Hundred", but Director Yue refused without even thinking about it. Now that I saw Director Lin today, I'm thinking about inviting him again. Oh, by the way, I also wish the potatoes a great success on the day they go on the market..."

"Thank you for your kindness, Boss Wang. Since Yue Jun has already refused, I will definitely respect his opinion.

If Mr. Wang didn’t understand what Yue Jun said at that time, I can repeat it again. Mr. Wang, do you want to listen? For example, the issue of world outlook, the issue of crooked buttocks, whether the surnamed Guan will bring private goods... and, your 700 million investment is a bit scary, tut tut tut..."

As Lin Nan teased in a sarcastic tone, Wang Zhonglei’s smile quickly disappeared, "Since Director Lin has no idea, then I’m sorry to bother you." After saying that, he turned around and left immediately.

"You are being nice to me..." Looking at the other party's back, Lin Nan sneered and muttered. 700 million investment? The real thing is used for filming? Most of the expenses are to compensate for the price of life?
