Chapter 214 Bullets, Qualifications
No.25.
The final press conference for "Sword and Sword III" was held as scheduled in the capital.
Lin Nan Pictures is one of the producers of this drama, and Yue Jun also came with it.
There were many more film and television companies, media, and artists present than when Tang Ren held press conferences before.
As for the reason, Cai Yinong knew it without even thinking about it.
They are all here for Lin Nan.
In the venue, on the huge promotional posters were the stills of the protagonists in "Sword and Sword III".
It may be due to preconceptions, but Lin Nan always feels that "Sword of Sword One" has more quality.
"Maybe it's because Liu Yifei is in it..."
Yue Jun and Cai Yinong were interviewed by reporters on behalf of the two companies.
Lin Nan and Hu Ge were chatting and eating something by the way.
Yang Mi walked over with a sincere look on her face, "Director Lin, I'm really sorry about the last phone call. I..."
If he cares about everything, Lin Nan will be stingy.
"That's it, it won't happen again."
Lin Nan waved his hand and ignored Yang Mi.
Over there, Cai Yinong was already bragging to the reporters.
The focus is on Liu Shi's poetry from the Tang Dynasty, and he really spares no effort.
He even told Yue Jun that for any TV drama projects in the future, actors from the Tang Dynasty could be considered.
Liu Yifei's Zhao Ling'er is a hurdle that cannot be overcome today.
This is what the media is paying the most attention to. When the makeup photos were released before, Tangren pulled out the actresses from the two dramas to compare and promote them.
""Sword and Sword III" will definitely not be worse than "Sword and Sword One".
The actresses in the two dramas have their own strengths and characteristics..."
When the press conference was about to end, Cai Yinong brought Liu Shishi to Lin Nan's side.
"Director Lin, on New Year's Day that year, she was the promising candidate I told you about at Nortel."
"Since it is a seedling that Mr. Cai is optimistic about, Tangren should cultivate it well."
Lin Nan spoke first, blocking Cai Yinong's next words.
The latter was a little embarrassed, but still said with a smile: "If Director Lin has a suitable role in the future, please give him a chance..."
Lin Nan nodded perfunctorily, and Cai Yinong led the others away.
Hu Ge glanced at the side and shook his head.
He felt that he needed to remind Cai Yinong not to always pull Liu Yifei when promoting in the future.
——
The news about "Sword and Sword III" on the Internet is increasing rapidly.
Various stills and behind-the-scenes footage have been released, and a large number of "Sword of Sword One" fans are looking forward to this drama.
"Tangren has sold the first round to Star TV. We are still negotiating prices for the second and third rounds."
"The efficiency is quite high. I remember the post-production of this drama hasn't been finished yet, right?"
“Yeah, but it shouldn’t take long.
After all, the premiere time has been set, in the first half of next year. "
Yue Jun replied. He has been handling the specific business of "Sword and Sword III".
Back at the academy, Lin Nan continued to edit "Hunting", leaving only the last bit.
The first "National Drama Ceremony" was very grand.
The theme is: looking back on 30 years of domestic TV dramas.
Those attending the ceremony were all actors, directors, and producers of TV dramas from the past few decades. There were a huge number of them.
Lin Nan declined Wang Changtian's invitation and asked Yue Jun to represent the company.
He stayed alone in the editing room and worked overtime, and finally completed all the post-editing of "Hunting" on the second day of New Year's Day.
I rewatched the movie from the beginning and the finished film turned out very well.
"Well, now I'm just waiting to submit my graduation project."
Ning Hao made a lot of calls in the past two days, but Lin Nan was really too involved in work and only answered a few calls from Liu Yifei.
"What's going on?"
"It's the promotion of "Racing". Xu Zheng's wife has given birth to a baby, and the other leading actors have performances, but I am very busy.
I don't need you now, but you must come to the premiere. "
"No problem, I've been working on it these two days, and I've finished cutting it in the later stages."
After talking about the serious business, Ning Hao started to be less serious and asked Lin Nan to read the news online.
The latter opened the portal suspiciously.
Good guy, Lin Nan was dumbfounded.
Beach, lots of photos and videos.
Red bikini, lying down in the sun, taking off her top while basking in the sun.
The man applied sunscreen on her, and then the woman's swimming trunks were pulled off and her hand was put in. Does it need to be applied on the inside too?
Finally, the man pressed forward with his whole body. After a long time, it was over...
"It's broad daylight..."
Netizens these days are not very tolerant of celebrities and artists.
Lin Nan saw various posts, and there was contempt and abuse everywhere.
"What's the difference between this and an animal? Doing this in front of everyone?"
"It's a shame to leave it to the foreign media..."
"Are you so hungry?"
Lin Nan is more traditional and cannot understand this kind of behavior.
The crew of "Mei Lanfang" instantly became popular again.
This movie is a big hit for the Golden Bear, and the leading actress is eligible for the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress.
The competition between female celebrities is much more fierce than that of male artists, and sometimes it is shady.
For this kind of thing to spread so much, it’s impossible that no one will “help” it.
…………
Three days after New Year's Day, the cumulative box office of "If You Are the One" reached 300 million.
Feng Xiaogang successfully became the third director of the 300 million club in China.
The premiere of "Under the Red Cliff" also came with great fanfare.
"Red Cliff 1" is the first domestic movie to break 300 million yuan in box office.
We are very confident in Red Cliff 2, which can regain the box office record of domestic movies!"
Wu Yusen's speech at the premiere caused heated discussions.
A large number of netizens complained and disdained.
"Are we crazy? Being deceived once is enough, and there is a second time?"
"In fact, the movie is okay, it is really funny, but we can't be completely clueless!"
The reporter even went to Beijing Film Academy to find Lin Nan to ask his opinion, but unfortunately he came up empty-handed.
But he also got the news that The Hunt has been completed.
Jiang Wen made several calls and asked Lin Nan to have dinner.
The latter knew that something must have happened, otherwise Jiang Wen would not have been so roundabout.
Lin Nan wore sunglasses and drove to the place.
Not only Jiang Wen and his wife, but there was also a man.
"Director Lin, you are finally here, I've been waiting for you." Zhou Yun greeted him with a smile.
"This is Ma Ke, my partner." Jiang Wen introduced.
"Director Lin, I've heard a lot about you."
After saying hello, Lin Nan knew the purpose of Jiang Wen looking for him.
This was his first time making a commercial film. Although he was confident in himself, he still wanted Lin Nan to help him look at the script. The latter's commercial films had never lost money.
If he loses money again this time, no one will be willing to invest in him in the future.
"Did Director Yang cover everything for you?" Lin Nan asked.
"Where you fell, you got up from there, haha..."
"Fire Cloud?"
Lin Nan took the script and smiled.
This style of movie can only be made by Jiang Wen.
"Don't rush to watch it, let's eat first, I'm very sincere today."
After that, several people sat at the table and chatted while eating.
This time, Ying Huang only gave Jiang Wen 150 million, which included the cost of publicity. If it was not enough, the latter would find a way himself.
Jiang Wen has decided that his company will pay another sum of money to make up 200 million.
After eating and drinking, Lin Nan started to read the script.
The content and style are definitely from that play. A novel that has been changed into this has become completely Jiang Wen's work. The original work only provides the context and outline.
"Although the name of "Fire Cloud" is very dramatic, it is a bit literary."
Before Lin Nan finished speaking, Jiang Wen looked delighted, "Yes, I think so too, but I really can't think of a good name for a while, this is the most appropriate."
Lin Nan didn't say anything. The lines and some scenes in the script probably need to be modified and deleted after the filming.
"How about I think of a name for you? But you have to give me a role."
Lin Nan said maliciously.
"You? If you can give me a better name, I will give you a supporting role.
If you are willing to act, the main character team can add you, haha."
Jiang Wen really dared to think. If he agreed to act, Jiang Wen could spread the news this afternoon.
"Haha, just a supporting role.
As for the name..."
Lin Nan put the script on the table and pointed to a place. Several people surrounded him instantly.
"If you simplify this line, you can use it as the name of the movie."
"Let the bullets... fly?" Zhou Yun read it out.
"Yeah, that's right. What do you think, Director Jiang?"
Jiang Wen muttered the name and slapped his thigh.
"Okay, that's it! When you decide on the role, just ask someone to come over."
"Yeah."
Jiang Wen is very domineering, and he is almost the same as Zhou Xingchi in the crew.
But he has an advantage, that is, what he says is what he means.
Once he promises, he will not change. Even if there is an accident, he will make up for it in other places and compensate you.
According to their plan, the actual start of filming of this movie should wait until the second half of the year. A small part of the filming of the building will have to be newly built.
Lin Nan was quite convinced. There are so many directors in China, and Jiang Wen is definitely the first one who dares to add metaphors to the script like this. It feels like walking on the edge of a knife.
Getting a supporting role is not in vain for Lin Nan.
The official website of Beijing Film Academy announced the registration time for the art exam in February and the arrangement of the postgraduate preliminary exam a few days later.
Among the examiners of the postgraduate re-examination in February, the media found a surprise.
Lin Nan's name was actually in it.
There was little dissent, and almost no one questioned Lin Nan's qualifications and strength.
Of course, a few "old people" who said he had no title and qualifications were excluded.
Some even called the college leaders to ask why such a ridiculous decision was made.
"Haha, you don't know. The vice president was in our director department office at the time.
He replied directly: Because he has two Silver Bear trophies and holds the box office record for domestic films, the leaders of the Film Bureau all said it was good."
"Then what?" Lin Nan was happy to hear a joke.
"Then there was no sound over there, and he could still question Director Tong?
I am also annoyed by this kind of old antique, who lies on the credit book all day and points fingers, and the key is that he doesn't have much credit."
Lao Jiang smiled and spread his hands, with a playful expression on his face.
Lin Nan nodded, as long as there was no problem.
Tian Zhuangzhuang had told him before that being one of the examiners for the postgraduate re-examination would only benefit him, and reputation was a small matter. This group of people would all be connections...
What happened yesterday, just let it go like that, don't ask me the result.
