Chapter 1181 Lin Nan’s Stubbornness; I Hope that Director La Gets What He Wants
Chapter 1181 Lin Nan’s stubbornness; I hope La Dong gets what he wants...
Hotel, conference room.
"Script? Lin, your request is too unreasonable and very presumptuous."
“The only one of the heroines in Disney’s so-called princess series is the most special.
Because she was the only one born in a civilization with thousands of years of cultural heritage, she is a real spirit, recorded in the years and passed down by word of mouth.
She was born not a princess, and her story was not mixed with any love between princess and princes;
She relied entirely on the sword in her hand, with her persistence in family affection and loyalty, and with her strong heart, she overcomes obstacles on the battlefield and grows into a heroine.
In the end, she also circulated in countless poems with her own legend, especially the spirit of a big woman who is different from men…”
Instead of responding to the other party’s accusations, Lin Nan talked about the uniqueness of the character “Mulan” and asked back:
"Can Hollywood screenwriters write about the charm of the war between tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people? Can they depict the unique historical and cultural heaviness of "Mulan"? Can they describe the thousand years ago and the background of the times? Is the torrent of? History? The environment? The customs and customs? ”
Looking at the seven people at the conference table, Lin Nan shook his head:
"I am bluntly speaking, what Hollywood screenwriters lack the most is historical background. And for them, "Mulan" is undoubtedly the shortest board!
For such a movie, the selling point is not just IP, its greatest value lies in the cultural heritage behind it.
As you know, this character is familiar throughout Asia and even the world, and its value is unaffordable.
Only Chinese directors and Chinese can give her the fullest and richest soul and epic real and profound sense of truth.
Well, if I say that, my attitude should be very clear, right? I also really hope that ‘she’ can do the most perfect! This movie is important to Disney, but it is even more important to us…”
"'She' must be Chinese, at least Chinese?" asked the senior vice president of Disney Film's global business, who was in the center.
"Yeah, right."
"A few days ago, Chen said so. If it weren't for Chinese or Chinese, Disney's "Mulan" would have been boycotted in the Chinese market! You Chinese are always so stubborn..."
"This is not stubbornness, it is cultural heritage and confidence in one's own cultural heritage."
"Lin, if it were you, what's the difference between you who could bring to "Mulan"?" The second person on the left spoke.
Lin Nan looked at him and remembered that when Miss Liu dubbed "Frozen", this was the one who received her.
"I am the youngest and most appealing director in China... My hometown is in 'Chang'an', and you should understand the historical heritage it represents."
"Chinatown?"
"We understand."
"The history and archaeologists of many old film factories and even universities such as Xiying will help me improve the construction of the era in the entire ancient context, from architecture, clothing, cold weapons, to culture, systems, elements... to be meticulous. It is the framework and cornerstone of the film.
In China, filming of movies can achieve 100% real-life materials, including the actual scenes of thousands of people and tens of thousands of people, including the battlefield... From top to bottom, they will be supported attitudes and policies...
Since you communicated with the official and wanted to go to the frontier to film, this movie has actually been inclined to the main creator, right? I can give her the conditions that Hollywood does not have.
‘She’ is also likely to be the one who is most likely to be truly successful among all the live-action films in Hollywood, and will bear fruit in the global film market...
Foreign directors will never understand Mulan better than Chinese directors, nor do they have the sense of mission and enthusiasm of Chinese directors…”
"You want to change our script, what about yours? At least, what about yours?" The first person on the right spoke, and he was also Tom's friend to drink and meat.
"Jiji and Jiji, Mulan weaves the same family..."
"Mulan Poetry?" Lin Nan guessed correctly. There is indeed China News in the team that Disney screens directors! That's right, otherwise why would you come to China to choose the main creator of "Mulan"?
"This is the best story outline. Almost every Chinese who has received nine years of compulsory education has read and recited it. You know, this is a potential movie viewing group of hundreds of millions!
In my opinion, the core of the main story told by the script is that Mulan can go from her daughter at home to joining the army for her father, and then year after year, overcoming difficulties and obstacles, fighting in the army... until a general finally succeeds The story.
The main line can span several years or even ten years, or even more than ten years... Fill in the middle with friendship, family affection, and vague and regretful love... But these are all branches, and it is best to end up with tragedy, after all, it will eventually last forever. Is...If you have regrets, the story of the whole movie can be sublimated to the greatest extent and affect the audience's emotions...
For example, you can also set up a childhood fiancé who only met in a hurry and parted... Ten years of life and death are all in the dark, and looking back, he is a passerby. The man has already married and had children, but the woman is still Yunying has not married. That kind of It seems like the feeling of time yesterday... Only with contrast can the difference between "Mulan" be revealed. She is ordinary but extraordinary. She is still the same "Mulan" after she has left half her life...
...Open the door of my east pavilion, sit on my west pavilion bed, take off my war robe, and wear my old clothes. When the window is claring the cloudy temples, the flowers are yellow in front of the mirror... The male rabbit's feet are shaky, the female rabbit's eyes are blurred... At this point, the camera ends and ends! ”
Lin Nan's mentality is completely relaxed at this moment, but his emotions are a little excited, even excited.
"It sounds really very picture-like, it's a story of a legendary woman who is completely different from Cinderella and Snow White."
The vice president sitting in the middle nodded and affirmed. But the next second, his voice changed:
"Lin, your idea is indeed great, but you know the significance and importance of the script to Hollywood. You are also a Hollywood filmmaker and a member of the Screenwriter Association. How difficult it is to change the script? You should be more than in mainland China. The directors of the film know better.”
"So what? There is no chance at all?" Lin Nan asked back.
"We need to report back, we will decide to have a meeting, it will take time." Yes, Tom's friend said, "It's still useful!"
"Okay, then I hope you guys will do it as soon as possible. By the way, my next interview?"
Lin Nan glanced at the staff member who was dismantling the camera and asked. That's right, the interview just now was videotaped so that Disney people can make comparisons and decisions when they go back.
"You only need one round, it's amazing, right? You deserve to be the best screenwriter and director of the Oscar!"
Seeing the other party stretching out his hand with a smile on his face, Lin Nan immediately held it up, "Thank you, I'll wait for the result."
"No problem. Our plan is to make a reservation before the end of this year and officially announce the candidates for 'Mulan' and directors. Now there are less than 10 days left before the second half of the year."
"That's quite fast. I'm very busy in the second half of the year and I have to go to Venice... Time should pass faster."
Lin Nan was sent out of the conference room while joking, and even sent to the parking lot on the first floor by Tom's friend.
"Forest?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"I think the advice Tom gave me when he was joking is really valuable."
"What advice?"
"Your wife Crystal plays Mulan, and you direct it. Of course, the most troublesome problem now is that you have to change our script and you have to organize someone to rewrite it."
After hearing this, Lin Nan's face suddenly showed a smile. But before he could react, the other party started to joke again:
"Oh by the way, let's talk about Crystal. You don't know that on the day of her interview, she amazed all my colleagues in another team. Her skills and physical fitness are simply too strong, and her explosive power is not as good as a woman at all. An actor is more like a female athlete, and his mentality is very tough..."
...
Lin Nan had never expected that he could come back to have lunch with Liu Yifei at around 12:50.
Faced with Shu Chang and the others who came to inquire about the news one after another, he was even more helpless and speechless.
"One word - wait! I talked a lot today, and I talked about everything I could with Disney people. It's the end, and I don't need to have a second interview."
"Good guy, Director Lin is amazing!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's you, one less round than Director Chen." Ning Hao sighed, a little jealous.
"That's Sissi's second interview?"
"It's the 20th of next month." He brought a glass of juice and handed it to Lin Nan, and Liu Yifei sat down next to him.
"I don't know what the second interview is?"
Shu Chang asked curiously, anyway, it was the first time to evaluate the action actors. And she also heard a Disney person sighing, saying that Sissi was the strongest in the interview!
"There should be the kind of film art, understanding, and thinking. In short, actors must have their own thoughts and cognition so that they can integrate into the role wholeheartedly." Lin Nan took a tissue and wiped his mouth.
"Dong Han?" Tang Yan heard the knock on the door and took the initiative to open the door.
Everyone in the living room immediately looked at Han Sanping and Han Jianu who were walking in, and greetings continued for a while.
Not long after, when the news of the project establishment of "Shanghai Fortress" was revealed by Han Jianu, let's not talk about Lin Nan for now. Anyway, Ning Hao took the lead in laughing, a funny and ridiculous smile.
"Is this funny? Just Teng Huatao? I all started with soft science fiction. He started as a hardcore science fiction blockbuster? I was very curious about which big companies and studios are helping him? It's Aerospace Technology Group or Aviation Technology? Or those top universities?”
"There are only two state-owned enterprises, China Film and Northern Film Group!" Han Sanping shook his head with a smile. It seemed that it was indeed a bit funny when he thought about it.
Lin Nan's "Martian Rescue" was a big help from the Aerospace Technology Group, and the special effects were also made in Hollywood.
But this "Shanghai Fortress" seems to have no plans! Just based on the old antique equipment and team of China Film, it feels a bit unrealistic to think about it now.
"Good guy, then I'm really looking forward to it. Oh, by the way, what's the budget? Let's see the comparison with "Crazy Alien."
"Including the promotion and distribution costs, the initial total investment budget is 400 million yuan, and China Film Group Investment has 150 million yuan..."
Listening to Han Sanping's introduction, Lin Nan resisted the urge to laugh and said a nice sound seriously: "I hope Mr. La can get what he wants this time."
