That Year Huayu

Chapter 533 Wu Yu Refuses to Let Go

Tom is very efficient, and the domestic media is no pushover either.

"Hollywood movie news: directed by Chinese Golden Lion director Lin Nan, starring Leonardo, Naomi Watts, Jessica Chastain and others.

The movie "The Invisible Guest" will be released on December 1, North American time. The film is also an entry for the 86th Academy Awards."

Lin Nan once again made the front page of film and television news, and the film industry was instantly lively.

It is rare for a mainland director to direct a foreign language film, let alone a North American release with such a luxurious cast.

The most important thing is that Lin Nan's "The Invisible Guest" is an Oscar entry.

Looking at Lin Nan's record at foreign film festivals, maybe, probably, possibly, there is really a chance this time?

"Director Lin Nan, are you going to go straight to the point?"

"That's the way it should be! So many directors compete for a spot in the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film every year, aren't you tired?"

"It's hard to say if Director Lin has a chance of success. The three leading actors are all on the Oscar runner-up list, and Leo is a runner-up all year round. It's poisonous!"

...

There was a lot of discussion online, and acquaintances in the circle also joked.

"You are awesome. If you really win the Best Director award, the higher-ups will praise you by name, right? The school will have to carry you back to worship you! Director Chen's position is probably in jeopardy. Haha..."

Ning Hao's words sounded a bit exaggerated, but if you think about it carefully, it's really the case.

"Don't talk about me. When will "Heart Flower Road" start filming? The casting has been over for so long."

"Why are you in such a hurry? We are investigating the shooting route. By the way, you bastard, you were giving me eye drops before! I told you that the girls who accompanied me to drink were pretty..."

Lin Nan held the phone farther away, and waited until Ning Hao finished swearing before taking it back.

"Isn't this to liven up the atmosphere? Haha..."

"Live up the atmosphere? You're using my life to liven up the atmosphere?"

After talking to Ning Hao for a few words, Jiang Wen also called.

Good guy, this is a freeloader.

"A potential Oscar director, come and make a cameo appearance in my brother's "One Step Away", how about it?"

"Then I have to hear it, what role, when to start shooting, where to shoot."

Let's not talk about whether to agree or not, Lin Nan asked three questions directly.

Jiang Wen is notoriously unreliable in the circle when filming.

"It will start at the end of the year, the role is not yet determined, and the location is definitely not yet determined."

"The time is vague, there is no role, and the location is not yet known. Are you kidding me? I'm also very busy at the end of the year, no talk."

Lin Nan decisively refused. Is this guy fooling himself with Ge You and Zhou Runfa? He doesn't buy it.

One by one, the main purpose of the calls was actually to wish Lin Nan a smooth trip to the Oscars, and he accepted them one by one.

Lin Nan picked up the cat-ear headdress on the bedroom floor and put it on the bedside table.

Miss Liu had another announcement today and left early.

That is, Liu's mother was not in the capital, so Liu Yifei ran to Lin Nan's side, and the two of them went crazy all night.

The result was that Miss Liu went to work in high spirits, and Lin Nan overslept...

Driving, Lin Nan went straight to the company.

He hoped to finish the post-production of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" as soon as possible, and then make the film after all the special effects shots were completed.

Guo Fan took the crew of "Time and Space Love Traveler" and flew to Shanghai today. The promotion location was at Shanghai Theatre Academy.

This time it should be quite popular, after all, Wan Qian, Reba, Sun Yizhou and other main actors are from Shanghai Theatre Academy.

"Rejected?"

As soon as he arrived at Tiangong Color, Lin Nan heard a group of people discussing Xiaoma and Huayi.

Xiaoma's chairman Li Ming just held a media meeting half an hour ago and formally rejected Huayi's acquisition intention.

"In the past five years, Xiaoma has raised nearly 2 billion yuan, not to help others. Xiaoma's ultimate goal is always to go public independently, and its original intention will not change.

In the remaining six months, we will submit an IPO and launch an attack on the A-share market. We welcome friends in the circle who are interested or like-minded at any time..."

Looking at the number Li Ming said on the news, Lin Nan felt a little pressure.

Of course, Lin Nan is confident that he can still get the money, but he may need to turn it around.

But it won't reach that point. If he really needs so much money one day, I believe there will be many people outside who are willing to give him money.

At noon, Lin Nan had lunch at the company and had a video call with Miss Liu.

Liu Yifei's meals are richer than Lin Nan's. After all, it's a notice, and fruits and desserts are all available.

"Director Lin, CCTV called." The assistant ran to Lin Nan.

"Are they looking for me?"

"Yes."

To be honest, Lin Nan is only familiar with the Sixth Princess. The one who can call the company is definitely not the movie channel.

If it's a movie channel, they usually contact Yue Jun to find Lin Nan.

"Didn't they say what?"

"It seems to be about the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala. This time, it is rare to be open to the public for selection. There will be a symposium in the afternoon."

Lin Nan was happy. He had no experience in directing a gala. He should have found Zhang Yimou!

Oh, I remember that Zhang Yimou is still selecting actors for "Lu Fan Yanshi". It's probably going to be over soon, and it's time to start filming.

"They hope you can come and participate. I heard that many big directors are among the invited ones." The assistant conveyed the meaning of CCTV.

Lin Nan didn't know what to say. He didn't have time at the end of the year, but if he called back to refuse, it would be inappropriate and impolite.

"Want me to participate? Okay, I'll go there in the afternoon and say that I won't participate in any selection."

...

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan arrived at the CCTV building. There were a lot of cars outside. It can be seen that many people should have arrived.

"What a fate. I just called you this morning and now we meet."

Jiang Wen shouted from a distance and walked over quickly. He was probably here to deal with the errand.

"Let's go in and have a cup of tea." Jiang Wen was really rude. He treated CCTV as his own home?

A staff member took the two of them all the way to the conference room. The moment they entered the door, wow, they were all familiar faces!

Chen Kaige, Gu Changwei, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Guoli... Most of them were academic directors.

Lu Chuan, that guy, actually got in too? Isn't this just a swindler!

Jiang Wen led the way, and the two sat next to Gu Changwei.

"Lin Nan, I heard that your company is filming a TV series of Red Sorghum?"

As soon as he sat down, Gu Changwei asked a question that confused Lin Nan.

He didn't know whether Director Gu was asking about the TV series or the person, and Lin Nan felt a little guilty.

"Yes, it's being filmed, and Director Zheng Xiaolong is directing."

Lin Nan said with a smile. He muttered in his heart: The matter between you two has become a topic of conversation in the circle now.

"When Zhang Yimou was filming the movie, I was the one who took the photo."

Gu Changwei's words made Lin Nan put down his heart.

He nodded: "That Red Sorghum is a classic, and here, the male lead is also here."

As he spoke, Lin Nan looked at Jiang Wen, who laughed and said, "I had a bad temper at that time, and I often argued with Director Zhang."

"Your temper is still not good now?" Gu Changwei teased.

...

A deputy director came in.

It turned out that it was the head of the Propaganda Department who took the lead this time, and the Spring Festival Gala selected the chief director and programs from the society.

It was a high-sounding conversation, and they were talking in circles, even though it could be said in just a few words.

An hour later, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Lu Chuan and others, as well as many directors of art films, agreed on the spot and would participate in the selection.

Lin Nan said that his schedule was very busy and he could not make it in three months, so of course there was no need to participate in the selection.

Jiang Wen also wanted to make a movie, so he refused. He came today just to show his support and give face.

However, Gu Changwei also refused, which Lin Nan did not expect.

"Director Gu signed with Huayi, is he preparing a new movie?" Lin Nan asked tentatively.

Gu Changwei actually nodded, "I am preparing a movie, shooting something that young people like. Isn't WeChat very popular..."

Gu Changwei stopped there, and Lin Nan did not ask any more questions.

But when leaving the CCTV building, Director Gu asked casually:

"Has your sister Wenli recommended any actors to you?"

Damn it, Lin Nan felt that he should not have come here today.

"I have recommended Ma Sichun, but I don't have a suitable role for the time being." Lin Nan said calmly.

Sitting in the car, Lin Nan was sighing, "This couple is really speechless."

The reputation of "The Legend of Yue Fei" is really good, with an average rating of 0.8 on the four satellite TV stations, and it can reach 1 from time to time.

As a historical drama that is more like a biography, this result can be said to be quite impressive.

But even so, there are still voices coming out, suggesting that this TV series be removed from the shelves.

As for the reasons given, they are still those old reasons, which are really disgusting.

…………

In the evening, Liu Yifei came back before Lin Nan.

"Xie Nan said that "Wolf Warrior" has been filmed to the last third, and it will be almost finished by the end of this month."

Miss Liu is still very concerned about this movie. After all, it is her first time to invest and produce independently.

"So fast?"

Lin Nan was quite surprised. Although Wu Yi had directed a "Wolf Tooth", he was still a novice.

"It's fast, but it's not without cost." Liu Yifei said a little depressed.

"What's wrong?"

"Yu Nan has a movie called "Eyewitness", which will be released in September and has been promoted.

The director of this movie has accused Yu Nan several times in public. Because she promised to cooperate with the crew's promotion, but she has been absent."

"Wu Tian won't let him go?" Lin Nan guessed the reason instantly.

"Yes. Someone contacted Hongxingwu today."

Liu Yifei nodded. As a producer, she was also helpless.

"Let Wu Tian take it easy. This is the industry rule. If he doesn't let him go today, will others block him in the future? Doing so will easily ruin his reputation and the reputation of the actors."

"Tell Xie Nan, she will deal with it."

Liu Yifei shook the phone in her hand, and a smile appeared on her delicate face again.

It seems that she has confidence in Xie Nan!
