Chapter 1180 A Solemn Promise to Ning Hao; La Dong's Desperate Move!
"There's nothing we can do. If you top directors don't look down on us, then we second-rate directors can only go. But when we got there, I realized that Lu Chuan was one of the guests..."
At five o'clock in the afternoon, when Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were strolling out, they happened to run into Ning Hao, who had just participated in the forum "About Actors, Directors Have Something to Say".
The latter was obviously a little angry, and he pulled people to nag and curse.
It seemed that Lu Chuan was showing off at the forum, and he refuted and educated Ning Hao on the issue of actor training.
And Ning Hao was completely helpless, because Tai Lang did have several awards that he could show off, as the confidence for his big talk.
Looking back at Ning Hao, he has been in the film industry for 17 years, but he has no awards with gold content; so in terms of aura, he is naturally weaker than Lu Chuan. Especially this afternoon, they were still arguing at the forum of the film festival. Isn't the confidence of film directors derived from awards?
"You shouldn't bother with that guy. If you want to compete, you should compete with him in box office and reputation among the audience."
"Yeah, why should we compare our shortcomings with the only thing the other party can show? We should play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses!" Liu Yifei took over Lin Nan's words and nodded hurriedly.
"What do you two think I want? Isn't it Feng Xiaogang who is singing the same tune and helping that guy to squeeze... Fuck him!
I just realized now that they both seem to have won the Golden Shell Award at the San Sebastian International Film Festival? I was wondering why they can be so united and work together!"
Ning Hao slapped his forehead and cursed again. Then he stared at Lin Nan with a hungry wolf-like look, which made Lin Nan a little scared.
"Hey, hey, hey, Director Ning, this is my husband, please restrain your eyes." Liu Yifei was in a good mood today, so she could make such a joke at this moment.
"After Crazy Alien, I want to try to win awards again. Do you have any good scripts? How about helping me make a plan?"
First, he waved his hand to Liu Qianqian to tell her not to be funny, and then Ning Hao spoke to Lin Nan, his expression and tone were extremely serious and earnest.
"This is a bit difficult. But are you serious? Are you sure that the spirit that was scattered after No Man's Land is back?" Lin Nan did not refuse at the first time, but asked back.
Having known each other for almost 15 years, how could Ning Hao not hear the hidden meaning of Lin Nan's words? He nodded and affirmed: "I have money and free time now, let's do it!"
"Okay, then wait until I'm done with this period of work, and I'll help you make plans together. Of course, you have to finish shooting Crazy Alien first, right?" Lin Nan made a solemn promise.
Looking at the peer directors in his small circle, the styles of Guo Fan and Lu Yang can't follow the foreign award-winning route at all. They are born to make commercial films.
After counting, it seems that only Ning Hao has a chance. After all, he was only one step away from the Golden Bear. It can even be said that it was all due to bad luck.
Just like what he said to Lin Nan after returning from the Berlin International Film Festival when he failed to win any awards: I should have listened to your advice and took the original version to participate in the competition at the cost of being banned from directing for five years...
Ning Hao did not disturb Lin Nan and Liu Yifei from choosing movies. He was going to go back to the hotel to rest and not come out at night. He was really angry this afternoon.
And Miss Liu also asked Lin Nan curiously: "You agreed to it? Where will you give him the script when the time comes?"
"The company has so many script outlines, help him pick one, as for whether it can be successful, that's another story, but you must try it first; after all, man proposes and God disposes, just do your best."
...
Current affairs news is still the most focused hotspot on the entire domestic Internet.
Even on the morning of the 20th, many domestic actors and filmmakers at the Shanghai International Film Festival began to make some statements in interviews; the same was true on Weibo.
Obviously, this is what the higher-ups want to see, and it is correct. Although there are Indian crews protesting, hoping that the film festival will ban discussions on political issues, it is useless.
Because domestic filmmakers have not and will not publicize their opinions at the official public events of the film festival; everyone has a code of conduct, abides by the bottom line, and will not give others a handle.
China Film, staying in the hotel.
There are more than a dozen people in the business conference room at the moment. Everyone is currently chatting and laughing, because the "leader" has not come in yet.
To be honest, Han Sanping didn't want to come, but La Peikang insisted on calling him over, so he had to come, because he was still holding a position at China Film after all.
However, he also brought Han Jianu here, just to keep her by his side to continue training and accumulate experience.
"China Film Group, Northern Film Group, Huashi Entertainment... Dad, is Uncle La going to make a big move?"
Han Jianu whispered to Han Sanping. After all, these three companies alone are two state-owned enterprises and one large Hong Kong company; as for the other small things, there is no need to pay too much attention.
Many people at the scene noticed Han Jianu's small move, but everyone looked at each other with soft eyes and smiles. After all, she is the daughter of Zuoshan Diao. Look, Zuoshan Diao is right next to her.
"Well, it seems that he has made another big movie and asked me to come and consult with him."
Han Sanping nodded and replied in a low voice. As for what movie it was, he was not clear yet, because La Pai Kang did not inform him in advance.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open from outside. I saw La Pai Kang leading the man in with a smile on his face, "Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time."
"Dr. La, we have just arrived."
"Dong La, it's not too late to have a good meal." The people from the Northern Film Group joked and joked.
"That's good. Come on, let's take a look at the specific situation and budget of the project..." La Pai Kang responded with a smile, then waved his hand to the secretary.
At the same time, Han Sanping had already frowned.
He didn't expect that La Paikang would be so efficient and he had already made a budget? The most important thing is, if the project is set, why are you calling him here? Come and witness your great achievements of Chairman Lada with your own eyes?
Unlike Han Sanping who "muggled" in his heart, Han Jianu's eyes fell on another person at this moment - Teng Huatao!
"Let Director Teng introduce this project to everyone in person." While Han Sanping and Han Jianu both got the film information, La Pai Kang also spoke.
I saw Teng Huatao, who was slightly fat, stood up with a smile, folded his hands together, and bowed to say hello:
"First of all, thanks to Mr. La for giving me this opportunity, thanks to China Film for its trust, and also very much thanks to all the leaders and bosses for their willingness to participate in this science fiction movie. Now, I will talk about this movie project in detail to you:
"Shanghai Fortress", a hardcore science fiction movie! I have been planning this movie for 6 years since I had the idea of making this movie, and I have been preparing for it bit by bit for 6 years, including the movie script and storylines...
Here, I would like to thank Director Lin Nan for making a good start for domestic science fiction movies... I also have confidence that with the help of the China Film team, this science fiction blockbuster will not be inferior to what Lin Nan Film is doing. Wandering Earth...
And like "The Wandering Earth", "Shanghai Fortress" is also a series plan..."
"Just rely on you?" Han Jianu's lips opened and closed slightly, and she spit out three words, but no one around noticed them. Han Sanping glanced at his daughter and asked her to restrain her contemptuous eyes.
At this moment, Mr. Han San could already guess La Pai Kang's thoughts:
In the past two years, Zhongying has been somewhat declining to the naked eye, so the latter is going to gamble on this "Shanghai Fortress"!
Half an hour later, under Teng Huatao's talk, all the investors' eyes flashed. After another verbal battle and scramble, the share was settled.
The three main prosecutors are two state-owned enterprises, China Film and Northern Film Group, and the Hong Kong giant, China Television Entertainment; while the rest are all...
In addition, this "Shanghai Fortress" will be officially launched at the Magic City International Film Festival in the past few days and will begin audition and casting.
After an hour of meeting, La Pai Kang sent everyone except Han Sanping and Han Jianu out of the conference room, and then asked with a smile:
"Dr. Han, what do you think of this movie?"
Faced with this question, Han Sanping naturally knew what the other party wanted:
"It sounds like this project is really good. It is a hardcore science fiction blockbuster. But in reality, it has to be watched as a film after the filming, and the market's box office and reputation response."
Han Sanping first raised and then suppressed, which could be regarded as giving La Pai Kang a satisfactory answer. In his opinion, the latter obviously already knew what happened yesterday - the "Clash Meeting" of "Wolf Warrior 2".
"It's good to have this sentence from Director Han. I thought about it for a long time before I decided to invest in it.
By the way, you are also a film director now. You are about to start filming your first directorial work. What do you think of the project of "Shanghai Fortress"? I know that you are quite close to Lin Nan and the others on weekdays, so you should have learned a lot, right? ”
"I just doubt whether this director is reliable? After all, I have never made a science fiction film, so I swear to say that I have been preparing for it for 6 years and I am confident that I can be the Wandering Earth series that is comparable to Senior Brother Lin's side..."
Xiao Han continued to uphold his straightforward personality and raised his "worries".
"Hahaha... Don't worry about this. Teng Huatao and his family are also directors." La Paikang couldn't help but smile, still thinking that Han Jianu was worried.
...
After leaving the hotel, just as soon as Han Sanping got in the car, he said to his daughter, "Let's go and talk to Lin Nan and talk to him about this "Shanghai Fortress". He has a rival, well, he has been in the industry The opponent that compares with the audience."
"Then you won't see him now, so let's go find him again in the afternoon."
"What's wrong?" Han Sanping said in confusion.
"Senior Brother Lin is going to meet with Disney people this morning. Now... I'll take a look. I heard Yifei say that the appointment seems to be at 10 am. Now, it's already 9:50 now."
Hearing this, Han Sanping realized it later, "It's today? Then let's go in the afternoon."
Speaking of this, Han Sanping suddenly narrowed his eyes again, and then muttered to Han Jianu very formally: "I hope he can succeed. If it really happens, you will go and help him..."
