Chapter 148 Hong Kong Island, Yinghuang

The country was in a frenzy.

Not only because Wang Quanan won the fourth Golden Bear trophy for Chinese-language films.

The discussion about Lin Nan was even higher than Wang Quanan.

"Film completed in 17 days! Best Silver Bear Director!"

"Lin Nan gave a speech to thank the award, and will strive for the Golden Lion, Golden Bear, and Golden Palm in the future!"

"Buried lost because of the subject matter..."

In three years, he won the Best Director Award in Berlin twice, and the entire film and television news page was full of this news.

The most important point is that Lin Nan is still so young. He is not only a director of award-winning films, but also a major director of commercial films.

This is not something Wang Quanan can compare to.

As soon as he walked down the podium and sat down, Lin Nan sent a text message to Liu Yifei.

"The gift you asked for is here."

...

Beijing Film Academy was the happiest, and all the leaders at the meeting were smiling.

Two banners were ready, one for Wang Quanan and one for Lin Nan.

"Director Tian, ​​you've made a profit this time. You haven't even won the Silver Bear for Director, but your students have two."

"Hahaha, that's true, I made a profit..."

Liu Yifei held her phone and smiled foolishly.

Liu Xiaoli couldn't bear to watch it anymore, "Eat something quickly, the training intensity has been high recently, and you've obviously lost weight."

"I thought he could succeed, and you see he really won the award, mom."

Liu Yifei shook her phone and said.

"How long will he stay there? He can't wait until the later stage is completed, right?" Liu Xiaoli asked.

"No, he said that as long as there are no problems in the first few months, the subsequent work can be done according to the schedule, and he will come back."

"It's been three months, right?"

"Yeah, hehe, I miss him a little."

"Don't be ashamed." Liu Xiaoli said with a look of pity.

Liu Yifei just reacted and said what was in her heart, "Mom..."

...

"Director Lin, congratulations."

"Thank you, keep working hard next time, there will be many opportunities." Lin Nan said to Fan Bingbing.

"By the way, my contract with Huayi has ended. Next, I will set up my own studio. If there are any film projects in the future, please take care of me, Director Lin..."

Star studio?

Lin Nan remembered that it seemed to be the woman in front of him who started it. Since her, there have been more and more examples of actors and artists opening their own studios, especially after the Internet companies came in, the pay has skyrocketed again...

"Then I wish you a prosperous business."

"Thank you, Director Lin. See you in China."

Fan Bingbing waved and left with the crew.

Although the crew of "Apple" did not win any awards, they sold enough copyrights, at least the capital was returned.

Han Sanping's film procurement this time was also successfully completed. The most conspicuous transaction was Lin Nan's "Buried Alive".

"I heard that Wang Quanan's "Tuya's Wedding" did not sell as much as your "Buried Alive"? "

"So, the price of 10 million yuan for China Film is really a big profit, President Han."

"How much did it sell?" Han Sanping asked with interest.

"Except for domestic production, two thousand."

"It's really high. Your film "Into the Dust" was only over eight hundred."

"By the way, what exactly did Yang Shoucheng ask you to discuss?"

"I sent a script before. But, Mr. Han, let's forget it this time. We gave "Buried" to China Film at a low price."

"So stingy? Okay, forget it this time. But how long are you going to stay in Hollywood? I saw someone from your company send a script to the bureau."

Yes, so he's waiting here.

"I will arrange the post-production as soon as possible and then return to China. The most important first three months of post-production for "The Martian" have also come. We just need to follow the plan later."

"That's good. I'll go back to China first and come to China Film when the time comes."

...

The Berlin Film Festival ended, and major film producers and filmmakers also evacuated one after another.

Lin Nan and Tom took a flight back to Hollywood. Ryan Reynolds went back the morning after the awards ceremony. Although he didn't win the award, he was nominated for the best actor, which made him very happy.

At Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan and Tom announced the celebration as soon as they returned.

A party was held at the company to celebrate Lin Nan's winning of the Silver Bear Award.

Wen Zairen also attended the party that day and was very envious of Lin Nan.

"Hollywood has reported that you are a rare genius. Believe it or not, now you just need to say that you have a script and need to find actors, and many well-known Hollywood actors will consider it."

"Wait, it's not the right time yet."

For the next two days, Lin Nan went back and forth between New Line and Crystal Pictures.

The detailed requirements, guidelines, quality requirements and plans for special effects production were reviewed again.

Every once in a while, Tom needs to report to Lin Nan.

"Lin, are you really going back?"

"I thought I had to keep an eye on it all the time, but I found that after the work got on track, I didn't need to worry so much.

You just need to control the general direction, so you have to do your work well in the future and report to me. It's not that easy to be a CEO."

"I think you want to go back to Crystal Liu." Tom said.

"That's also the reason." Lin Nan smiled.

"After Twilight is finished, let Director Catherine oversee the post-production. This is a contract requirement.

When it's done, remember to notify me, and then discuss the promotion and release with Lionsgate."

"The staff will continue to expand, and there will be equipment..."

Lin Nan tried his best to arrange everything properly and patted Tom on the shoulder.

"Tom, remember when you wanted to buy a house in Beverly Hills? Work hard and I will help you realize your wish."

"Okay, I will. Don't you keep your trophy at Crystal Pictures? You already have one in China."

"No, this is a gift. I want to give it to someone."

…

Hong Kong Island, an international metropolis.

Lin Nan was dressed in sportswear, like a tourist, carrying a shoulder bag.

As soon as I left the airport, I was surrounded by two people.

"Director Lin? Director Huo asked us to stay here while she waits for you in the car."

Lin Nan really never thought that Huo Wenxi would come to pick him up in person.

"Then let's go."

A Mercedes-Benz S Series was parked not far away. Before Lin Nan could get closer, the door opened.

Huo Wenxi is dressed in workplace attire, with high heels and silk stockings, and has a very royal temperament.

"Director Lin, welcome to Hong Kong Island, Yang Sheng has prepared a reception banquet for you at the Peninsula Hotel."

"It doesn't have to be so grand, right?" Lin Nan felt a little uncomfortable.

"This is the first collaboration between Director Lin and Ying Huang. These are all things that should be done."

Hong Kong Island is a place full of legends.

Although the film and television entertainment industry is no longer brilliant, it has a profound foundation. Of course, paparazzi is also famous in Asia.

We chatted for two minutes outside the airport, and at least several waves of paparazzi took photos.

Sitting in the car with Huo Wenxi, the other party was still talking about it.

"Director Lin may not be used to it yet. This is how Hong Kong entertainment reporters are."

The car drove all the way to the Peninsula Hotel. The news of Lin Nan's landing on Hong Kong Island was on the news in less than half an hour, and it was still followed up.

"Mainland director and Berlin Silver Bear Award winner arrived in Hong Kong today..."

"Yinghuang Artist Director Huo Wenxi personally picked us up at the airport!"

"Lin Nan met with Ying Huang personnel at the Peninsula Hotel..."

The car stopped, Lin Nan looked at the hotel in front of him, known as the Lady of the Far East, and felt a little emotional. There were many stories in the Magic City and Hong Kong Island in that era.

"Director Lin, please."

"good."

I followed Huo Wenxi into the hotel and walked for a long time before arriving at the place.

The magnificent buildings were a period of humiliation for the Chinese people.

Yang Shoucheng wore glasses and looked a bit elegant.

"Director Lin, long time no see. Congratulations on winning the Silver Bear Award for Best Director for the second time, as well as the copyright for that film..."

"Director Yang, this is all over. Let's talk about the serious things. After that, it's not too late to reminisce about the past."

Yang Shoucheng smiled and said, "No wonder Director Lin has achieved such success at such a young age. Okay, let's talk about business first."

There were only three people left in the huge private room, and a table full of sumptuous dishes.

"When Director Lin sent the message from Hollywood a few years ago, I was really happy. We had failed to cooperate many times before, but this time I finally have a chance."

"Did the Ye family agree? I don't want to have the farce that happened when Jet Li was filming "Fearless" and get sued."

"Agreed, Ying Huang will ask Mr. Ye to be the honorary consultant for this film."

"That's good. With their family, there won't be any big problem."

Yang Shoucheng held his eyes and glanced at Huo Wenxi, who got up and opened a bottle of red wine.

"Director Lin, let's talk about investment."

Some movies have different tastes when they are shot in Hong Kong and in the Mainland. This is why Lin Nan brought Ying Huang with him this time.

He produced the script and funds himself, and Yinghuang participated in the investment and did the work.

"The copyright belongs to me, I'll give you 40% of the copyright." Lin Nan said without any emotion.

Yang Shoucheng frowned, "There is no objection to the copyright. But Yinghuang has to organize the crew and be responsible for filming, so 40% is a bit low, right?"

"When I was in Berlin, Mr. Han asked me about this project."

Yang Shoucheng's heart skipped a beat. Han Sanping had a temper that was like a wild goose plucking his hair. He was a Pixiu type.

"But I persuaded him to forget about this movie, otherwise Yinghuang might not get 40% of it..."

"Director Lin, Mr. Yang, let's have some food first and chat slowly. Director Lin, this wine is Mr. Yang's private collection, and we are specially treating you today."

Huo Wenxi handed over two glasses of red wine and interrupted.

Lin Nan took the cup and glanced at Yang Shoucheng, "Director Yang can think about it slowly. I may play for two more days, don't be in a hurry."

After speaking, he raised his glass and took a sip.

"Okay, then wait two days before replying to Director Lin. Let's eat first. This is a welcome feast for you..."

…

At the dinner table, Yang Shoucheng proposed to hold a banquet and also introduced some actors and filmmakers from Hong Kong to Lin Nan, so that they might have the opportunity to collaborate in the future.

"Director Yang, you know, I came from a film school and have a good foundation.

There can be banquets, but if some people have crooked butts, don’t invite them..."

When Lin Nan said these words, Yang Shoucheng and Huo Wenxi were stunned for a moment.

Yang is also an old fox, like a human spirit.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on and nothing will go wrong."

For some words, just click on it and it’s enough.

The guests and hosts had a great meal, and there was a tacit understanding during the meal, and the investment division was never mentioned again.

"The nightlife in Hong Kong Island is very rich. Director Lin, do you want to go for a walk? I haven't gone out for a long time, so we just happen to..."

When Yang Shoucheng said this, it was really hard for Lin Nan to refuse, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

"Then, let's take a walk."

"Okay. Wen Xi, you also come with me and bring two more people..."

Yang Shoucheng arranged with a smile.

Not long after, Lin Nan received a call, and Liu De was shocked.

He said that he had arrived in Hong Kong Island, but he didn't let him know, so he could treat Lin Nan.

Then, the two of them made an appointment to meet at that time.
