Chapter 332 "Space Passengers"
Time entered June.
The press releases of "The Founding of a Party" were released one after another, and there were only two weeks left before the release.
The main creative lineup of hundreds of actors and stars gave this movie a natural audience base.
Lin Nan must be present at the premiere of this tribute film, and he must show his attitude.
…………
Lin Nan was a little surprised that he actually received a wedding invitation, which was sent by Huayi.
He is a shareholder of Huayi, and the person who held the wedding was Huayi's first-line artist: Deng Chao.
To be honest, Lin Nan and Deng Chao can only be regarded as ordinary friends, which is better than nodding acquaintances.
The latter auditioned for Lin Nan's movies several times, and it must be said that his acting skills are indeed more stable than Huang Xiaozhu!
At some premieres, cocktail parties and other occasions, Deng Chao often took the initiative to come over to greet Lin Nan, chat with him, and get closer to him...
Almost everyone who can get a first-line position in this circle is a smart person!
I heard that Wang Changtian gave special approval, and the crew of "The Four" adjusted the shooting schedule for this.
Chen Jiashang specially set aside a few days for Deng Chao to go back and hold the wedding.
Lin Nan estimated that Wang Changtian should want to poach people, or at least want to recruit a group of first-line actors and artists who are close to Guangguang.
Otherwise, why did Guangguang give the male lead of two consecutive movies to Deng Chao?
Clicking on the news and scanning a few times, Lin Nan suddenly realized.
It turned out that Sun Li's belly was about to be covered! So Deng Chao hurriedly left the crew and went back to hold the wedding!
Lin Nan couldn't go to the wedding scene, so he just asked someone to bring a gift at that time...
…………
The Magic City International Film Festival had previously invited Lin Nan to be one of the judges of the main competition unit.
But because of the conflict with the Cannes Film Festival, he refused.
In the end, the judging quota fell on Zhang Jingchu.
In one week, the Magic City Film Festival will open.
Just today, the film festival released the final list of films nominated for the Golden Goblet Awards.
One of the films caught Lin Nan's attention.
Wang Baoqiang's "Hello! Mr. Tree".
Perhaps because of his grassroots background, even though Wang Baoqiang worked hard, many actors in the industry still looked down on him.
Just like now.
Several Chinese films nominated, the male lead obviously has the hope of competing for the best actor.
But the blessings of the artists in the circle were almost all given to Chen Kun of "Butterfly on Shoulder", and no one cared about Wang Baoqiang.
"Mr. Tree?"
The promotional poster of Wang Baoqiang wearing glasses and holding a cigarette is quite special.
Lin Nan clicked on the promotional video of "Hello! Mr. Tree" on the official website.
"Okay!"
The close-up of Wang Baoqiang's face smoking, that look and expression, is very touching! Very vivid.
Suddenly, Lin Nan regretted it a little. I should have accepted the invitation of the Shanghai Film Festival first...
"Oh, forget it. I can go to the theater to watch it after it is released."
…………
After spending the last morning, Lin Nan's script was completely finished.
He called Guo Fan, but no one answered the phone. He was puzzled.
"I remember you should be in school these two days?"
Anyway, there was nothing to do, so Lin Nan drove to Beijing Film Academy.
Tian Zhuangzhuang had asked him to take time to go back and introduce a student to him.
When he arrived at the school, Lin Nan realized it.
It's graduation season again!
At a glance, everyone was wearing bachelor's gowns to take graduation photos.
This kind of occasion is very nostalgic.
In Lin Nan's mind, he unconsciously remembered the time when he and Liu Yifei graduated from college.
Liu Yifei, wearing a bachelor's gown, red-rimmed glasses, and pouting, was cute, pure, and a little naughty. Everything seemed to be yesterday.
"Hehe..."
Lin Nan smiled and shook his head. Five years have passed.
Many undergraduates noticed Lin Nan.
Remembering the appearance of the big directors in the circle is a compulsory course for these reserve newcomers.
"Is it Director Lin?"
"It's really him!"
"What is Director Lin doing back at school?"
"I haven't heard that there are special guests at the graduation ceremony?"
...
There was a lot of discussion in the distance, but it was limited to these. No one dared to come up and say hello or recommend themselves.
Lin Nan ignored this and went straight to the directing department.
Before seeing Tian Zhuangzhuang, he saw Han Sanping's daughter first.
This is strange, the school is not open yet?
"Director Lin?!"
The other party was shocked when he saw Lin Nan, and then laughed and shouted.
"Director Jiang is very strict. When he scolds, he has a set of words. Others haven't signed up yet."
Just now, it was Old Jiang who was talking to Han Jianu, with a worried look on his face.
"She says bad things about me as soon as we meet! I'm just reminding you.
She hasn't officially registered yet, but she goes to the Chinese Department and the School of Management to take professional classes under the name of a directing student. I've been asked several times..."
When Lao Jiang said this, Lin Nan understood.
This is not about taking classes, but about Han Jianu putting the cart before the horse.
Han Sanping arranged the director route, but his daughter prefers to be a producer and screenwriter, and even came to school in advance to take classes...
When she directs the graduation drama, she must not make any mistakes, or come up with a final line?
But considering Han Jianu's background, it's definitely no problem for her to pass.
…………
Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't lie to Lin Nan, he really wanted to introduce someone to the latter.
"Hello, Senior Brother Lin, I'm Wen Muye."
The other party smiled and greeted Lin Nan, and extended his hand.
This is a graduate student in the directing department with an ordinary appearance.
"Hello." Lin Nan also politely extended his hand and shook it.
There are many famous directors in the circle, but only Lin Nan is the most different.
Because in terms of appearance alone, he doesn't look like a director, let alone a big director.
I still remember that when I was an undergraduate, many netizens teased Lin Nan.
They said that he had a celebrity face, but he got into the director team, and he was just here to embarrass other directors!
He also specifically mentioned Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei and others...
After chatting for a few words, Lin Nan roughly understood.
He graduated from graduate school in 2009, and Wen Muye in front of him was admitted in 2010. He also studied under Tian Zhuangzhuang, and can indeed be regarded as Lin Nan's junior.
"If there is a chance in the future, I will take care of it.
This circle is becoming more and more closed now, and ordinary people may not be able to enter in the future..."
Tian Zhuangzhuang said with emotion, and Lin Nan nodded.
…………
No wonder no one answered Guo Fan's phone.
The School of Management is also very lively, and they have been in meetings.
"Director Lin, I should prepare my graduation project."
When Lin Nan found Guo Fan, this guy had just come out of the conference room and was with graduate students of the same level.
When these people saw Lin Nan, they greeted him with smiles.
"Do you have a movie plan? Then show it to me, the company can invest."
Lin Nan nodded casually and promised.
Hearing this, Guo Fan laughed instead, "Director Lin, I am a director, but I am not from the directing department, haha."
Lin Nan did not react for a while.
"I am a film and television management major, and my graduation project must fall on the word "management". I have to join the group to write a thesis..."
This time, Lin Nan reacted, he forgot Guo Fan's major.
The latter refers to the role of the crew's butler, which is similar to the position of the producer or the position under the producer, and is mainly responsible for the overall coordination of the crew during filming!
"Okay, you are lucky. I am preparing to start a new movie. If you follow me into the crew, you can also do graduation work at the same time!"
"What movie?" Guo Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.
If he follows Lin Nan into the crew, then he must be given an excellent grade when he submits this paper?
"Science fiction film, "Passengers"."
...
When filming "The Martian", a lot of outdoor scenes were involved.
At that time, the Aerospace Science and Technology Group helped with the design and built a "Mars Base" in the Hongya area for outdoor scenes.
The outdoor scenes alone were time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly at that time.
This time, Lin Nan chose "Passengers", which was different.
Lin Nan actually wrote and registered this script in 2006.
It's just that this time, Lin Nan threw it all away and re-adapted it into a version suitable for China, adding a lot of settings that conform to the logic of the Chinese people!
He made a major revision of the script, making it more logically perfect.
This movie almost didn't need outdoor scenes, and 90% of the filming work could be done in the studio of the China Film Digital Production Base.
There were a lot of special effects shots, and the money spent couldn't be saved!
"Passengers? Is this the new movie?"
Guo Fan muttered the name, feeling very excited.
The name of this movie sounds like the same space theme as "The Martian".
"Director Lin, when are you going to start?"
Guo Fan was a little impatient, looking at Lin Nan and asking.
"Isn't this just asking you to help me? The assistant director and the overall planning are up to you.
When I was shooting "The Martian", these things hurt me..."
...
Lin Nan also wanted to be lazy when he chose "Passengers".
The China Film Digital Production Base is right next to the capital.
He can work in the studio during the day and go home to rest at night, how worry-free and comfortable!
…………
Tiangong Color began to calculate the special effects cost for "Passengers" so that they could give a quotation later in a "brother-to-brother" manner!
The departments under Lin Nan Pictures also began to budget the shooting costs...
Liu Yifei flipped through the script and paused from time to time.
"It doesn't seem to be as big as "The Martian"?"
"Yes, the theme of "Mars" is very big. This movie is both big and small, with a grand space background and a small story between two people..."
"Two people, sailing in the lonely universe for decades, accompanying each other!"
...
It can be seen that Liu Yifei doesn't seem to be very interested in this script.
She is still immersed in "Star Destiny". After all, it was really just a little bit short in Cannes not long ago!
For this "Passengers", we still have to ask the Aerospace Science and Technology Group for help.
At least the large spaceship that can accommodate thousands of people must be designed more reasonably.
