Chapter 234 Lao Zhu, Do You Want a Role?
China Film Group held a celebration party for "Inception" in advance.
Because in the future, Han Sanping's focus will be entirely on "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".
The celebration banquet was held at the China Film Auditorium.
Celebrities from all walks of life gathered together, and no one wanted to miss this occasion.
Han Sanping was surrounded by stars like a moon.
Lin Nan hid far away, he would rather go to the side to eat something.
"Brother Lin."
I just sent away a few people in the industry, and I haven't even finished a piece of pastry yet.
Lin Nan heard a familiar voice, filled with joy.
Jing Tian, dressed as a girl next door, walked over with a smile.
"Why haven't you seen Mr. Lu?"
"Uncle Lu is talking to someone else."
Lin Nan nodded and said, as Jing Tian's manager, there was no way Lu Zheng wouldn't be here.
This is another girl who doesn't care about face. Jing Tian picked up the small cake on the table and started eating it too.
Many people who wanted to come over to say hello gave up the idea after seeing the situation on Lin Nan's side.
Jing Tian spoke about the new script seriously, looking forward to Lin Nan's affirmation and suggestions.
""My Beautiful Boss"?"
"Well, it's a modern romance film..."
"The story of a poor boy and a rich girl?" Lin Nan asked.
"Yeah, pretty much."
Jing Tian lowered her head slightly, a little embarrassed. She knew that Lin Nan would probably not like this kind of movie.
After a while, Lin Nan said "hmm".
"It's okay, this kind of movie is suitable for you now."
Jing Tian raised his head and looked at Lin Nan with big eyes, a little confused.
"Really?"
Lin Nan nodded.
At this time, Lu Zheng was seen walking over, followed by... Ye Ning?
"Director Lin, Tiantian, what are you talking about?"
"Director Lin, long time no see."
Lin Nan glanced between the two of them, vaguely guessing.
"Mr. Ye, long time no see. How is Wanda Cinema's recent business?"
"Haha, thanks to director Tolin, "Inception" was very profitable."
After Ye Ning finished speaking, he brought up the business.
…
"We will officially establish Wanda Pictures in October at the latest..."
Lin Nan's heart skipped a beat. Are you going to enter?
“We previously established Wanda Cinemas, and over the past few years, we have established a firm foothold in the lower reaches of the film industry.
After establishing Wanda Pictures, we will comprehensively carry out film investment, production and distribution business..."
"Tell me about this?" Lin Nan asked.
“We need a great director like Director Lin as the core driver of the film.
If you are willing, we can sign a cooperation agreement. No matter how big the project is, Wanda can provide you with sufficient funds. "
Lin Nan felt that the other party was trying to throw money at him, but Wanda did have the confidence to say this.
It's okay if they don't enter the film industry. Once they enter, they are like tigers and have a lot of money.
Production and theater chain, good guys, you can play by yourself.
Lin Nan was still a little confused. She wanted to sign a cooperation agreement with him as soon as he came up. It was so direct!
"We'll take our time when your new company is established. Isn't it too early now?"
"Haha, just wait for what Director Lin says.
What I said just now is without falsehood. If Director Lin needs it, he can speak directly. We can just make another "Inception". "
Lin Nan has finally realized what "heroism" means, but Wanda is indeed an ideal partner.
"Well, if necessary, I will speak up."
Ye Ning glanced at Lu Zheng, "Mr. Lu is a shareholder of Wanda Pictures, and Director Lin also knows him, so I won't introduce him..."
…………
First came Raytheon, then Wanda. Lin Nan knew that the rapid development stage of the film industry was coming.
Jing Tian was very happy today because she chatted with Lin Nan for a long time.
She didn't wave goodbye until the banquet was over and the latter was left behind.
"Tiantian, after this movie, we will start a big production."
Lu Zheng could tell that the girl next to him was in a good mood today, with a smile on her face.
"Big production?"
"Yeah, big production."
…
Han Sanping's office.
"The General Administration hopes that all directors from the Billion Dollar Club can gather as guests at this year's Huabiao Awards,"
Lin Nan raised his eyelids, he was not interested in this.
Han Sanping could see Lin Nan's thoughts.
"All directors worth 100 million yuan in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Mainland will be informed."
"Where's the time?"
"August 29th."
"Then I can't go." Lin Nan shook his head.
"Why can't you come? The opening ceremony in Venice is on September 2nd. You can make it."
Lin Nan still shook his head and said, "I have to leave early to grab a good seat."
He has to get to Hollywood before the 25th. Huabiao Award? What does it have to do with him?
Han Sanping had an expression on his face: "You continue to lie."
"I just want to convey it. Whether you go or not is up to you."
Lin Nan thought of Ning Hao, "Director Han, is the movie "No Man's Land" really dead?"
Han Sanping sighed and shook his head.
"It's hard to say, originally those people were just looking for trouble, I thought it would be over after a while.
Who knew that something would happen again on the 5th? Well, they were even more unscrupulous in checking the card. "
Lin Nan quickly shut up. There were some things that you couldn't pry into blindly.
Until he left China Film Academy, he did not accept the Huabiao Award, and Han Sanping never mentioned it again.
Harry Potter 6 and Transformers 2 were released, along with a few Hong Kong and mainland films that were of some weight.
The box office growth of Inception was held back.
The domestic box office was almost frozen there.
The media had issued a press release early on.
"The science fiction blockbuster Inception has a domestic box office of 392 million."
"Inception stopped at the 400 million box office threshold and ranked second on the domestic box office list."
...
Lin Nan was also a little helpless, after all, it was just a little short.
The box office trend of another Transformers 2 was very similar to that of Inception.
As expected, the domestic box office was over 300 million again.
The film industry felt like it had been slapped in the face.
Bao Jingjing arrived at Lin Nan Pictures very early.
Today she came with the finished novel and script.
Yue Jun took her into Lin Nan's office, who was on the phone with Liu Yifei, and it was evening in Hollywood.
"I have something to do. I'll hang up first. Go to bed early."
"Okay."
Bao Jingjing glanced at Lin Nan and saw the smile on his face.
He was 80% sure that Director Lin was definitely chatting with a girl, and they were very close...
"Girlfriend?" Bao Jingjing guessed.
"It's done so quickly?" Lin Nan asked.
"It was my personal experience. If I want to write about it, I can definitely write it quickly."
"A lovelorn experience? Haha..."
"I guess so. I polished it a little and posted it online. Director Lin, please take a look."
Before Bao Jingjing graduated, Xue Xiaolu often mentioned Lin Nan's scripts in professional courses.
Although he is a director on the surface, he is actually a very good screenwriter. Several best screenwriter awards are proof of this.
Lin Nan took over two bound books.
One is a novel and the other is an adapted script. He is quite confident.
"Love Is Not Blind!"
"There are tea and coffee over there, both are top quality, help yourself, I'll read the script first."
After Lin Nan gave his instructions, he ignored Bao Jingjing.
He began to flip through the script, well, this is a new theme.
The office was very quiet, with only the sound of turning pages and drinking coffee.
After a long time, Lin Nan spoke.
"The prototype of the male lead is not a man, right?"
"Puff, sorry..."
Bao Jingjing couldn't help it, and the coffee that had just entered his mouth sprayed out and spilled on the floor.
"It's okay, I'll let the cleaning staff deal with it later."
Bao Jingjing put down the coffee and gave Lin Nan a thumbs up.
"Director Lin is worthy of being Director Lin, you can see that the prototype of the male lead's personality is me."
Really!
"Director Lin, will this script be made into a movie? If not a movie, TV is also fine, I haven't produced any works yet."
"Movies, TV, both are fine. I prefer movies."
As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, Bao Jingjing's eyes lit up.
"So when choosing actors, should we use actors from our school or those from the next door?"
"Haha, why do you ask such a question?"
"I, although in school, teachers always say that big directors from our school are not reliable.
But if it is my own script, I am willing to let the actors from the next door play it..."
Bao Jingjing said this with confidence. In this regard, Beijing Film Academy is indeed very contradictory.
It is estimated that except for the acting department, people from other majors like the Central Academy of Drama.
Seeing that Lin Nan did not speak, Bao Jingjing added, "Actually, it's fine as long as it is suitable. I don't care."
Closing the script, Lin Nan leaned back in the chair.
"This time, let's use the Beijing Film Academy. There will be your name in the screenwriter column. Is it a pen name or real name?"
When Bao Jingjing heard this, his heart beat a little faster. Is it decided?
"Talk?"
"Ah? Name, name, use my real name!"
For such a famous thing, you must use your real name.
Bao Jingjing is not stupid. The movies produced by Lin Nan Film will have the aura of the great director Lin Nan. She must sign her real name in the screenwriter column.
"Well, that's it. I'll decide on the director and main creators by the end of the year when I come back from Venice."
Bao Jingjing was a little disappointed. She thought Lin Nan would do it himself.
More than two hours later, the staff sent him out.
Lin Nan took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, Director Lin. Brother Yawen is putting on makeup now and will take a photo soon."
The soft and cute voice of a girl came from the phone.
Zhu Yawen, this beast...
Lin Nan just cursed in her heart, and then she remembered that it seemed to be the same assistant?
"Let him answer the phone."
On the other end, a cute girl with black-framed glasses walked to Zhu Yawen.
There were many other artists around.
"Brother, Director Lin's call."
The scene was a little quiet for a moment. Among Zhu Yawen's friends, there is a big guy named Lin!
Zhu Yawen pretended not to see the reactions of the people around him.
"Director Lin, what's going on? I'm just about to start work."
"Old Zhu, do you want a role? The sissy male lead..."
Although the phone was not on speakerphone, the voice was still faintly heard, and many people around were swallowing their saliva.
Is this the benefit of being a close friend of a big boss?
"Yes, you must keep it for me. I'll come over immediately after I finish the work..."
Zhu Yawen shouted hurriedly.
