Chapter 145 Berlin, "Buried Alive" Promotion

The director's department sent Lin Nan an email and asked him to put it together, and the new banner was ready to be customized at any time.

The school also made new promotional materials for him, which will be used during the art exam.

This left Lin Nan speechless. It was the third year that he had been squeezed by the art exam every year.

I'm afraid there will be a fourth or fifth year later, but I don't know if the school will let him go after he graduates from graduate school.

"This really caught me trying to pluck the wool."

Lin Nan quietly made a foreign language film and took it to Berlin. Only then did the domestic media consciously pay attention to his movements in Hollywood.

Without noticing, this attention revealed that Lin Nan had recently attended many movie public relations receptions, and even met Jackie Chan once.

Two dramas that left a deep impression on Lin Nan have started airing, Hu Jun and Chen Daoming's "Sleeping on the Fire" and Chen Baoguo's "The Ming Dynasty". The former is on CCTV and the latter is on Mango, which is a great drama to start the new year.

They are all actors in "The Martian", and Lin Nan sent a special message to congratulate them.

New gossip came out, and the matter of Lin Nan being shortlisted for Berlin cooled down in the country.

Huang Shengyi and Xinghui won the lawsuit and it was decided on Hong Kong Island.

Seeing that evidence, Lin Nan also lamented that Xinghui was really exploitable. The salary stated in the contract was 769,000, but in reality he was only given 60,000. It can only be said that both parties are not good friends.

Jiang Yiyan's development is similar to that of Zhou Yang, but she is better at digging than Zhou Yang, and the drama is still constant. At the premiere press conference of the TV series, she spent time with Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, talked about the friendship between classmates, and did not mention other classmates.

Liu Yifei was too embarrassed to say anything, and Lin Nan didn't bother to care. In fact, everyone had already drifted away.

Zhou Yang’s call came. It was still night in China.

"Thank you."

"What's wrong?"

"Things about that character. She can almost be regarded as one of the heroines of "The Prequel of the Lotus Lantern"."

Time will make people grow. I don’t know since when, Zhou Yang restrained the bold character of his shareholder Beida Niu.

"Have a good performance. Director Yu and the others should start shooting in the second half of the year. Has the contract been signed?"

"Director Zhao came to see me before, and the contract was just signed today, and some actors are still undecided."

"That's good, you'll have to rely on yourself from now on." After a long time, Lin Nan only said this.

"Well, thank you."

Lin Nan hung up the phone on his own initiative and asked each other to be well.

On the other side, the girl looked at the phone in her hand and smiled, water dripping on it.

From now on, you're on your own. She understood what it meant.

"I really envy you, Sissi."

…

Lin Nan also had a headache. If Zhou Yang was like Jiang Yiyan, he would not feel any burden.

I followed Tom to visit the cast of "Twilight". This film is scheduled to be shot in three to four months, and is currently less than half way through the process.

Not only Tom, but also Wen Ziren is not optimistic about this movie, vampire + youth campus love, which has nothing outstanding in the Hollywood movie market. The story is old-fashioned, the plot is rough, and the emotions are pale...

Almost all the shortcomings that can be thought of when evaluating a movie can be applied here.

"Not every best-selling youth novel is Harry Potter. Lin, you have to be prepared to lose money."

Tom again gave his advice.

"Then do you think I can afford to compensate?"

"Okay, you can afford it."

Lin Nan's contract for director Catherine was a series contract. He wanted to make a good start with the first film and try not to change the lineup later, so that the style of the film could remain consistent.

"We are currently filming very well. Stephanie comes to visit occasionally. The children are very hardworking."

Catherine looked at the Oriental director in front of her and talked about the current situation of the shooting.

I heard that this young director is going to Berlin soon. It is really unbelievable that he is competing for the Golden Bear for the second time at such a young age.

Several main actors also gathered around. Lin Nan was a big director to them, and they were all small actors.

"Everyone, please work hard. I have already negotiated with Lionsgate about the release of this movie. You will see it with the entire North American audience."

All the actors' eyes widened. If Lionsgate distributes it, there will definitely be many theaters open. If it can be popular?

A group of people suddenly thought about it.

"Director Catherine, we are not short of time and we will try to make the movie as perfect as possible." Lin Nan instructed.

"Yes, I know."

The two of them left after not staying long.

"Kristen, you don't really expect this movie to be a hit, do you? Movies are different from novels."

"Taylor, how would you know if it doesn't work if you don't try it? This movie seems to be the first independently produced movie by this company. Maybe we will have a chance with other movies in the future."

…

"Lin, are you going to the opening ceremony? Or will you arrive before the closing ceremony and awards night?"

"Before the opening ceremony."

Learning from the lessons of the last "Into the Dust", Lin Nan has to prepare in advance for the promotion of the movie this time.

It takes too long to get a theatrical release, but the film still sells quickly, so I have to go early.

Renting a venue for the premiere and setting aside time for publicity, Lin Nan had taken these things into consideration and couldn't be as careless as last time.

"Golden Armor" suffered heavy losses, and Zhang Weiping was like a green bull, venting his anger everywhere.

He and Zhou Runfa started to quarrel again, accusing each other of not cooperating with the publicity.

The result was internal disagreements among the investors, and the Hong Kong investors refused to let Chow Yun-fat go.

Randomly changed his words and banned Zhou Runfa again. People in the industry are happy to see Zhang Weiping's excitement.

This is not like the quarrel between Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke some time ago, when the General Administration personally intervened to mediate.

At this moment, many media are still fanning the flames of Zhang Weiping, waiting to see the joke.

New Line has a detailed schedule for the post-production, and this kind of large project is also more rigorous because of the rich experience.

Crystal Pictures is different. After all, it was not large in scale before. Even if new people are constantly entering during this period, it takes time to run-in, and the efficiency is very low.

"Tom, continue to recruit people, all technicians and engineers."

"More recruits? But there are already so many."

"Recruit, we have such a large office space, and these hundred people are still not enough.

Later, I have other plans..."

Seeing that Lin Nan was hesitant to speak, Tom didn't say much.

"Okay, then continue to recruit."

At the end of January, Lin Nan and Tom flew to Berlin together. Ryan Reynolds will arrive at the opening ceremony. This movie is very special because it has no heroine.

Landing in Berlin, I can already feel the atmosphere of the upcoming film festival.

Filmmakers and film producers from all over the world are rushing here, and some large posters of some films can already be seen.

Bringing Tom along is to let him work.

"You are an old man in Berlin, so you don't need to be so formal, right?"

Lin Nan personally signed in at the official film festival and rented a large screening room.

The bad thing about the film festival is that you have to do the promotion yourself. Lin Nan directly rented a room for half a month, starting from the first of next month.

"Of course you have to be formal and give the other party full respect. It may not be good, but it will definitely not be harmful."

"Well, what you said makes sense. Is there still your doctrine of the mean, Confucianism..."

Lin Nan looked at Tom in surprise. How much did this guy learn secretly?

"Don't look at me like that. Although I am not serious at ordinary times, I am really knowledgeable when I am serious. In your words, I have also learned a lot of things."

Lin Nan gave a thumbs up. He is well-educated and knows everything.

To be precise, Lin Nan arrived relatively late in the first two times he came to Berlin, rushing to the opening ceremony.

This is the normal time, because most of the filmmakers and production companies selling copyrights have almost arrived.

The promotional sign of "Buried" attracted a lot of attention when it was placed in the hall.

There are only 26 films in the main competition unit, and they have long been remembered by people.

"Buried" is one of them, and the director is the best Silver Bear director two years ago.

Many film distributors gathered around, making Lin Nan feel a bit like setting up a street stall.

It's just that the stall sells movies, and the price is not cheap.

"Lin, when will your movie premiere?"

"On the first of next month, you can take a brochure back. This is a very special movie, I promise."

"When can I meet you to discuss the copyright issue?"

A European film distributor asked. This is an English film, which is an extra point.

"No, no, it's too early to talk about this now." Lin Nan said with a smile.

"You are such a smart director, just like two years ago."

When he said this, Lin Nan had an impression. Isn't the person in front of him the one he had dealt with before?

It's just that Lin Nan dragged it until the end of the awards ceremony and sold it to someone else at a high price, not the person in front of him.

At a glance, movies from all over the world can be found here.

This is another feature of the International Film Festival that cannot be ignored, the film trading center.

I just don't know how many billions of dollars this year's transaction volume will reach.

The news that Lin Nan appeared in Berlin to promote the new movie was reported back to China within a few hours.

The introduction and brochure of "Buried Alive" were also reported.

"Chinese translation: "Buried Alive". Is it so fancy?"

Many filmmakers were very curious when they heard the news. Hearing this name, it may not be given in China.

"Look at this poster, it's just a coffin. He is very creative."

"Contact him later, don't go out for a few months, your thoughts will go astray, we don't like this style..."

The school leader said to Tian Zhuangzhuang seriously.

"It depends on the content of the movie, right? It's definitely not a supernatural movie. I believe in Lin Nan's awareness."

There are few domestic directors who shoot foreign language films. Lin Nan has become famous this time, and more people are paying attention to his movie.

But when the name of this movie came out, it was indeed quite different from Lin Nan's previous style, which inevitably made people think too much.

"Today, more than 40 film distributors asked for my contact information, Lin, your Silver Bear trophy is really useful."

Tom said with a look of excitement.

Lin Nan ignored Tom, he just received a call from China Film.

In a few days, their film purchasing team will also come, and this time it will be led by Han Sanping again. It should be his last time to do this job as a vice president.
