Chapter 236 August
Zhang Yi joined the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" in advance.
There are a lot of horse battle scenes in the movie, and he needs to learn and train horsemanship in advance.
Entering August.
The news that Xiaoma Pentium will invest in "The Treasure Box of Yue Guang" attracted the attention of everyone in the industry.
"A Chinese Odyssey" is too popular.
Relying on this movie, it is estimated that Liu Zhenwei can still make a living for another ten years...
...
Some time ago, Lin Nan clearly told Han Sanping that he could not go to Huabiao.
But the other side still called one after another.
In order to gather all the directors of the billion-dollar club and show this "political achievement", Huabiao has a sense of sparing no effort.
Ning Hao has already promised to be there.
In his words, it doesn't matter whether he goes or not. There are so many billion-dollar directors in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he doesn't need a billion-dollar one.
But Lin Nan didn't go, and the scene would be more watery at that time, because the box office record is on him!
Anyway, every time he came, Lin Nan's reason has never changed.
Yue Jun came to see Lin Nan with a happy face.
"Director Lin, Jiang Xingrou wants to invite you to Zhouyi for a visit."
"Visit?"
Lin Nan thought it was ridiculous. This statement meant that they had not yet agreed.
"Is there a problem with the second drama?"
"Yes, let alone star platforms, even first-tier platforms are not willing to buy it. All the local small stations are quoting..."
Lin Nan took a breath when he heard this. It was really miserable.
He made a decision quickly and added fuel to the fire.
"Just say that I'm very busy recently and don't have time. Wait until they have made a final decision and contact me again."
"Well, I understand what Director Lin means."
Lin Nan remembered that Zhouyi's third and last TV series seemed to be "Peacock Feathers"? It is currently struggling to survive.
He is confident that Zhouyi will be completely swallowed up by the end of the year.
By that time, Linnan Pictures will have a complete logistics team in the field of TV dramas, and even costume movies.
The second batch of people sent to Crystal Pictures before have returned.
Tiangong Colors instantly became lively.
Lin Nan drove to Beijing Film Academy. He came here to find someone today.
"Hey, isn't this Director Lin?"
As soon as I entered the school gate, I ran into an acquaintance.
Old Zhou was weird, like a complaining woman.
"Your tone is a bit unwelcoming, haha."
"How dare I? I have a group of students under me, and I still want to ask you for a meal."
"Well, I have something else to do, I will talk to you later."
Lin Nan threw down a sentence and ran away. If he talked for a few more words, who knows what Old Zhou would say.
"Little rascal, you run pretty fast." Old Zhou muttered, and walked away with a smile.
All the way to the Department of Literature, there was almost no obstruction.
Whether Lin Nan knew him or not, they all knew Lin Nan anyway.
"Lin Nan?"
"Teacher Cao, where is my sister Xue? Is she in school?"
Seeing that it was Cao Baoping, Lin Nan asked directly.
"She should be in class now. What's the matter? Do you need to talk to her?"
"I submitted your "Li Mi's Conjecture" last time.
She joked with me that when she has time, she will write a script and ask me for funding..."
Cao Baoping looked enlightened, but a little confused, "I haven't heard that she is writing a script recently?"
"This time I provided the script and asked her to shoot it." Lin Nan replied.
In the office of the Department of Literature, Xue Xiaolu chatted with Cao Baoping for more than half an hour before coming back from outside.
"Xiao Xue, Lin Nan has been waiting for you for a while, good news."
"Really? Then I have to listen. Let's go to my office."
…………
Xue Xiaolu was shocked.
Bao Jingjing is indeed her student, who just graduated last year, and has become a screenwriter?
"Sister Xue, how is it?
I thought of you first. Students write scripts and teachers direct. It sounds good when it is spread out, haha..."
Xue Xiaolu was a little tempted.
Teachers at the Film Academy who say they don't want to make movies are lying.
Especially after Cao Baoping directed "Li Mi's Conjecture", many teachers and professors had this idea even more strongly.
"I'll take it."
Xue Xiaolu said decisively, fearing that it would be gone after this opportunity.
"But there is one more thing, my classes are very full in the next two or three months..."
When Xue Xiaolu said this, her tone was much softer.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't mean that you have to shoot it immediately after you take it."
"If you say that, then I have no problem.
Leave me a copy of the script, I will read it in the next two or three months, and also see the skills of my student..."
"Okay."
The director for "33 Days of Broken Love" was decided, and Lin Nan's trip was not in vain.
...
That "Robot" was released.
Oh my god, it received a lot of bad reviews.
Many viewers and netizens used the word "disgusting" to describe it, and they were simply deceived into going to the theater.
The plot was stiff, the special effects were cheap, there was no highlight, and it was forced to be sensational, trying to get a little bit of everything, but got nothing.
"Too bad, 10 million dollars, and this is all they made?"
"Were the special effects made abroad? Maybe they found a black workshop in some mountain valley?"
"Director Liu said before that he wanted to compete with The Martian, but he's competing with the mouth?"
"It's terrible, even though Crazy Buddies was terrible, at least the special effects were good, this one is just stupid..."
...
Lin Nan saw the box office data of this "sci-fi special effects blockbuster".
More than six million on the first day, five million on the second day, and over four million on the third day...
There is no need to look back at this data, it is definitely a loss to my grandma’s family.
I just don’t know if LeTV will “make” it profitable!
The Internet started to bring up "The Martian" again to make trouble.
"Haha, Director Lin, it will be difficult to make science fiction movies in the future.
Once your "Mars" is released there, every director who wants to make a science fiction film will have to consider whether the audience will criticize "The Martian" for comparison. "
Many colleagues in the mainland told Lin Nan this.
They wish that all bad movies would come out on Hong Kong Island, and they have been grudges for a long time.
…………
Liu Yifei was urging Lin Nan.
"Have you booked a ticket?"
"Well, it's already booked. We're leaving on the 20th. Isn't that just over two weeks away?"
"Can't you come here earlier?"
Lin Nan could think of Liu Yifei's expression on the other end of the phone.
He must be puffing out his cheeks and looking a little angry.
"Okay, I will leave early..."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan called the logistics and asked him to book a ticket for himself to fly to Los Angeles on the 20th.
The publicity of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" officially began.
This should be the most widely promoted movie in China.
Nearly two hundred celebrities participate in the show. With so many celebrities alone, it can attract a large number of audiences to the theater.
Only this kind of gift film can be completed with only 30 million from start to finish.
Lin Nan continued to work on his own script.
Lao Mouzi's "Three Guns" has been completed.
At the wrap-up party, Zhang Weiping was so confident that he directly announced that the film would be released in December and enter the Lunar New Year period.
"Before the Olympics, Yimou and I made "The Golden Jacket," which broke the box office record for domestic movies that year.
Because of the Olympics, Yimou hasn't made a movie in the past two years, and the domestic box office record is constantly rising. As for what kind of movies they are, I haven't watched them yet.
However, this year’s Lunar New Year release, "Three Guns" will tell everyone that Zhang Yimou is still the same Zhang Yimou, and we will regain the box office record for domestic commercial films..."
The Internet is abuzz right now.
Zhang Weiping then shouted to three great directors at the same time, Wu Yusen, Feng Xiaogang, and Lin Nan!
Lin Nan also felt that he had been named!
Is Zhang Weiping saying: There are no heroes to make Shuzi famous?
Lin Nan estimated that if all the people in the circle who disliked Zhang Yimou were pulled out, at least 90% of them might have been recruited by Zhang Weiping.
On the other side, Golden Rooster announced the shortlist.
After Lin Nan glanced at it, he cursed directly: "Fuck me."
It’s really fun to watch people’s dishes!
After his "Into the Dust" won the Silver Bear Award for Berlin's Best Director, he was nominated for the Golden Rooster only after he came back, but in the end nothing came of it.
Cao Baoping has nothing to do with this. This is his first time filming an award-winning film.
As a result, there were four nominations including Best Director and Best Actress.
Zhou Xun's call came over.
"Director Lin, sister, I am nominated for Best Actress, haha."
"Well, congratulations. Remember to thank me when you win the award. I am the producer."
"No problem. If I really win the award, you will definitely be included in my acceptance speech..."
…
Cao Baoping's call was followed by Zhou Xun's.
As long as he can win one of the four nominated awards, then Cao Baoping will have completely made a name for himself.
"Teacher Cao, you don't have to be so sensational, right?"
“Yes, yes, I must thank you for your investment in me.
But your results came out earlier than mine, I hope you get at least a Silver Lion, haha..."
"Then I'll lend you your kind words." Lin Nan was no longer modest.
…
"Li Mi's Conjecture" was nominated for the Golden Rooster. This matter did not cause much sensation in the news, but it was a big deal in Nortel.
The movie was a loss at first and a lot of people were laughing at it.
It's different now. Many teachers and professors are lamenting that Cao Baoping really succeeded!
If I get a prize, it won't just be about teaching in school.
There are many more people who feel sour in their hearts.
Jiang Yiyan really came to find Lin Nan.
The latter are a bit surprising.
"Director Lin..."
Lin Nan could tell that Jiang Yiyan was a little afraid of him.
Thinking about it carefully, maybe because of her own reasons, Jiang Yiyan really didn't do anything small in the past few years, but she was very fond of Liu Yifei.
"You go back first."
"Director Lin, I, but..."
Lin Nan guessed that the other party had misunderstood.
"You go back first, I will give you a supporting role.
There will be a drama with Zhu Yawen, but only this time. "
When Jiang Yiyan heard this, she smiled instantly.
"Thank you, thank you, Director Lin."
After the others left, Lin Nan remembered the original "Nuan Nuan Contains Light", and Jiang Yiyan was there at that time.
As long as he doesn't collapse, there will only be smiling faces around him and Liu Yifei.
"Just think of it for the sake of Sissi and her classmates!"
Lin Nan thought of Zhou Yang again, shook his head, and everything was over.
