Chapter 420: Still Science Fiction

After Lin Nan sent out that Weibo post, the effect was surprisingly good.

Because his meaning was very clear, those who talk about movies and have no box office please shut up.

The Hong Kong circle was silent, and after counting them carefully, there was really no rebuttal.

Because no matter whether it was a Hong Kong movie or a previous co-production, none of the box office could be as good as Lin Nan.

And in terms of awards, Lin Nan has a Golden Lion, two Silver Bears and a Cannes Jury Award, which is much higher than the Golden Horse Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards, which makes people feel very frustrated.

If you can't compete head-on, you start to change the topic, take a posture, talk about seniority, compete for qualifications, and ask Lin Nan to respect the predecessors. It's simply shameless!

Lin Nan made up his mind that he couldn't indulge these people this time, no matter who persuaded him.

He directly responded with a sentence: "Old people who don't die are thieves!"

The scope of this statement is not small. It can also be said to be appropriate and appropriate for some people in the mainland.

In less than a day, Lin Nan heard the news that many people in the mainland wanted to find an intermediary to pass on the message to him, but they were all rejected.

Neither the school nor Han Sanping and others responded this time.

What does this show? People's hearts are in favor of it, everyone thinks so! With Lin Nan at the forefront, it is very refreshing to say this!

…………

"I found that our company's movies, whether it is the start or the end, are all advanced as early as possible, never delayed."

Lin Nan looked at the people in front of him and joked.

"It's not considered an early start, I just want to go there early so that the actors can get familiar with the shooting environment."

In the conference room, Lu Yang explained with a smile. Zhao Wenzhuo and Wang Baoqiang smiled and nodded. They are very much looking forward to "One Man's Martial Arts" and the script is great.

When Lin Nan heard this reason, he didn't say anything. It is indeed necessary to get familiar with the environment in advance, which can make the shooting smoother.

After thinking for a while, he still reminded:

"As you know, there has been a lot of noise in the Hong Kong circle recently about this movie, but we can only talk nonsense.

However, we still have to pay attention when filming. If there is any problem, find Ying Huang first. I think Huo Wenxi should also follow the crew..."

"Well, we know, Director Lin."

Yue Jun and Lu Yang said at the same time.

At noon that day, the group and the crew set off from the Capital Airport to Hong Kong Island.

"Director Lu Yang, producer Yue Jun, and actors Zhao Wenzhuo, Wang Baoqiang and Lin Nan Films staff left Beijing for Hong Kong today."

"It is estimated that the movie "One Man's Martial Arts" will start shooting soon..."

…………

"Titanic 3D" has finally reached the day of its release, and domestic films can be said to have breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the five imported blockbusters, this one is the most perverted, with a box office of 980 million in one month, which makes mainland filmmakers feel suffocated.

The most relaxed person at this moment should be Ning Hao.

The box office of "The Heist" still stubbornly got 110 million yuan despite being beaten by a number of Hollywood movies.

At this time, the May Day holiday officially began.

The total box office of "The Ordinary Man" is 16 million yuan, and "The Killing" is 7.1 million yuan.

The daily box office of several movies has begun to grow during the May Day holiday.

"The Ordinary Man" and "The Killing" seem to have hope of a comeback.

…………

The circle is immersed in the May Day period, hoping that the film market in May will be more friendly.

At this time, a piece of news came from the Film Bureau.

The movie "Ask the West" starring Zhang Ziyi and Huang Xiaoming was banned.

You know, in early April, this movie also held a grand press conference, and the location was at Tsinghua University.

It was just submitted to the Film Bureau not long ago, and it was directly banned without even giving a chance to return for rectification?

Lin Nan only heard that this was a movie about Tsinghua University, and didn't know much about the rest.

At this moment, many media went to interview Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming and others, as well as the producer China Film.

The first two must be confused, and China Film was also vague.

You know, the Film Bureau hasn't banned a movie for a long time, and Lin Nan was really curious about the reason.

"Religious values, ideological issues, political issues..."

After hearing only three words, Lin Nan interrupted Han Sanping.

Good guy, a movie has touched everything that shouldn't be touched, no wonder it was directly lost.

"Wait a few years, make a big change, there should be hope... Don't spread it out."

Han Sanping was also depressed. This movie was invested by China Film, but it didn't participate in the filming. As a result, this happened, it was annoying.

"I understand."

…………

Just after the three-day holiday, news came from Hong Kong Island.

The movie "One Man's Martial Arts" officially started.

Lin Nan went to Beijing Film Academy.

I thought Guo Fan would defend his thesis in April, but it turned out to be in May.

Lin Nan did not go to the School of Management first, but went to the editing room to see the progress of "Love in Seattle".

Xue Xiaolu was really tinkering there with a group of students.

"Brother Lin."

"Brother Lin."

...

This is the advantage of being in school. A group of students can call Lin Nan "brother" to get closer.

"Teacher Xue, how is it?"

Lin Nan asked directly after seeing Xue Xiaolu.

"It's still early. It's hard to say whether it can be finished in June."

Xue Xiaolu was really impolite and replied directly.

Lin Nan took a quick look and really couldn't expect "Love in Seattle" to be released this year.

The editing progress is less than one-third, but it is really delicate.

After a few words, Lin Nan ran to the School of Management. Guo Fan defended his thesis today.

...

"Director Lin, you are so cruel. You betrayed me!"

Turning around and meeting Han Jianu, Lin Nan felt that it was not a coincidence, but that he was blocked.

"What do you mean?"

"Old Han said that you told him that I was back..."

Han Jianu looked angry. It was probably that she was assigned to the crew.

"I don't admit it. It was Director Han who called me to talk about business. He said that."

Lin Nan denied it flatly and would never admit it.

"What? Didn't you really get put into the crew again?" Lin Nan joked with a smile.

"In the middle of the month, go to the crew of Bayi Film Studio."

Han Jianu rolled her eyes and said unhappily.

Lin Nan felt that Han Jianu was really ungrateful. She was lazy and disdained the opportunities that so many students in the directing department could not even ask for!

"Cherish these opportunities. Your classmates will envy you to death. Work hard. I believe in you."

After saying this, Lin Nan left, leaving Han Jianu with a sullen face, and turned to the Chinese Department.

…………

Every year, the graduation defense of graduate students is the top priority.

To put it bluntly, the papers and works you submit actually represent your strength and connections!

For example, in the directing department, Lin Nan's two graduation dramas were unique and no one could compare.

The same is true in the School of Management.

Which crew did your paper come from? Who is the director? Who is the producer? These are all very important and will affect the assessment of grades. This is how it is in this circle. People start competing for resources and connections since school.

Among the graduate students graduating this year, Guo Fan is the most dazzling one, as expected. Well, Zhao Yanzi, who delayed graduation, ranks second.

Because Guo Fan is not only a serious director, he has directed "Source Code", and has been Lin Nan's assistant director many times. More importantly, his graduation thesis this time is based on "Passengers", which has an investment of 250 million yuan.

"Director Lin, are you here to listen to the defense? It's over there."

"Thank you."

Lin Nan is not familiar with the teachers here, but they all know Lin Nan.

Coincidentally, as soon as I slipped in from the back door, I saw the person on the stage, it was Guo Fan.

"...High-cost movies need overall coordination the most. Funds are the lifeblood and must be reasonably allocated... Large-scale science fiction movies have the highest requirements for machines and special effects..."

Guo Fan wore glasses and talked freely on the stage.

Although the thesis was based on "Passengers", he added other things during his speech, involving movies such as "Pacific Rim".

Unlike when Lin Nan defended his thesis, a group of tutors did not understand the industrialization of movies and did not know what to ask.

The tutors of the School of Management asked more questions, but Guo Fan still answered fluently and ended perfectly.

Lin Nan took the lead in applause, which attracted the attention of many people.

"Lin Nan?" Several professors greeted him with a smile.

…………

"Congratulations, Director Guo, you have graduated from graduate school."

"Director Lin, you are too polite."

Guo Fan was told on the spot that he would be an outstanding graduate, so there was no need to think about his grades, which would definitely be the highest.

The two strolled around the school for a while, one reminiscing and the other commemorating.

"Are you going to take a break for a while, or start working directly?"

Lin Nan suddenly asked, referring to the film plan he had agreed with Guo Fan before.

Guo Fan thought for a while, "Then, let me take a break for a month, and then start a new film after attending the graduation ceremony."

"Well, okay."

This is Beijing Film Academy, and two directors walking in the school always attract special attention.

What surprised Lin Nan was that the acting students in the school in recent years seemed to be bolder than those in the past, and they actually took the initiative to say hello and recommend themselves.

There were obviously more girls than boys, maybe they thought they were good-looking.

But the words he said when he opened his mouth still seemed old-fashioned, nothing more than liking your movies, admiring you, and hoping to have a chance to audition in the future.

It's a pity that Lin Nan has Miss Liu, and Guo Fan is like a straight man from science and engineering, and both are unyielding.

The two only promised that they could come when the audition was open.

…

"Director Lin, that seems to be the girl who rejected Director Yue before, right?"

"Yes, she signed with Tangren."

"That's really stupid." Guo Fan laughed and complained.

…

Lin Nan remembered what Liu Yifei said after she came back as a guest of the art exam. She said she saw a girl who looked a bit like Liu Xiaoli.

At this moment, Lin Nan also saw it, and it was indeed similar, but he didn't take it to heart, and could only sigh that his mother-in-law was so beautiful back then...

Lin Nan looked at Guo Fan and asked:

"Is it still science fiction? Why not try something else?"

Guo Fan frowned, then smiled again:

"Director Lin, I'm always worried about leaving Tiangong Color unused, so let's still go with science fiction this time!"

"Okay, science fiction is science fiction."
