Chapter 169: Praising People, Suggestions
Two days ago, in the capital Shangri-La, Tang held a media meeting for Hu Ge.
This is like meeting fans and officially announcing his comeback.
Considering that "Painted Skin" had just finished filming and Hu Ge was the main actor in it, the atmosphere was very lively on the day of the meeting, and twice as many media came as originally planned.
This made Cai Yinong very lucky that he used his investment rights in two TV series to exchange for the supporting role of "Painted Skin".
Hu Ge, a popular niche student, is resurrected with full health again.
Lin Nan seemed unable to escape the "Nanjing" signing conference. He and Jiang Wen were both on the guest list announced by China Film.
The media has a memory, and many people know about the conflicts between Lin Nan, Jiang Wen and Lu Chuan.
It is estimated that by then, the two people will be focused on by reporters.
The signing conference for "Nanjing" will be held at China Film.
The final investment amount did not reach the hundreds of millions Lu Chuan said, but was reduced to 80 million.
This made Lu Chuan, who wanted to try a large-scale production, very frustrated.
He even complained in front of the media that investors did not believe in his strength.
This kind of miserable behavior made people in the industry laugh at him. He has no experience in commercial films and wants to become a fat man in one bite. It is simply a joke.
Media from all walks of life flocked to China Film.
With so many movies every year, very few hold actor signing conferences.
The subject matter of "Nanjing" is very special, so it got this treatment.
In the morning, the China Film Festival was already crowded with people.
Many literary and feature film directors within the system have arrived, including many from the older generation.
Media reporters have already been in place with long guns and short guns.
The actors and entertainers who can be invited all have certain status.
Wang Xiaoshuai, Jia Zhangke and others sat quite far away from Feng Xiaogang, as if they were not in contact with each other.
Lu Chuan looked majestic backstage, glancing at the venue from time to time.
"Director Lu, when will it start?"
Qin Lan asked with a smile on his face.
"Director Han and the others haven't arrived yet."
Lu Chuan glanced at Qin Lan, his eyes a little fiery.
Lin Nan chatted with Jiang Wen outside the venue.
"Let's chat outside for a while. Why are you going in so early?"
"Okay, it's up to you." Lin Nan took out a handful of melon seeds.
"Oh, I can have this."
Jiang Wen laughed and grabbed half of it, and the two squatted on the edge of the lawn and started drinking.
There were many people in the industry who came and went, looking at the two great directors with expressions of shock and wondering whether they should take the initiative to say hello.
"Brother, the date for my movie has been set. When the time comes for the premiere, come over..."
Not long after, Jiang Wen started talking about "The Sun Also Rises".
"If the French company hadn't accidentally damaged my copy, I might have gotten a Palme d'Or back."
Jiang Wen spoke enthusiastically, talking about how he had quarreled with Zhang Yimou on the set, how Wada had stood up to him, and how he "guided" that sissy Lu Chuan in filming...
Lin Nan was listening to the music, not to mention it was quite interesting.
Someone trotted over, "Director Jiang, Director Lin, it's about to start. Let's go in."
The two of them stood up, threw the melon seed peels into the trash can, and clapped their hands.
"Let's go, we are here for the sake of Mr. Han's face."
Jiang Wen said something, and Lin Nan nodded.
The staff led the two people to the front row.
Jiang Wen chose a middle position, sat down and stopped moving. He even pulled Lin Nan and said, "This is it."
The staff went backstage with a sad face.
When Han Sanping entered the arena, he glanced at Lin Nan and Jiang Wen.
Lu Chuan started to show off and even brought in private goods.
“When the film was being set up, including the construction of the city for filming, there was indeed no censorship.
Because I didn’t expect that a movie that reflects a patriotic theme would go through so many ups and downs. In my opinion, this is a movie that fights for national scars..."
When Lin Nan saw the actors coming up from the backstage, he was instantly speechless.
Three old acquaintances, Liu Ye, Gao Yuanyuan, and Jiang Yiyan.
"Tell me, will I interview you later? Haha."
Jiang Wen still wanted to joke.
The good does not work and the bad does.
During the reporter's Q&A session, the three were asked whether Lin Nan was stricter on the set or whether Lu Chuan was easier to get along with.
Liu Ye should react faster.
The nature of the movie is different, and the requirements are different. The subject matter of "Nanjing" is limited. When the filming starts, everyone will definitely be very serious all the time. They may smile, but they will feel guilty in their hearts. There is no need for the director to ask, everyone will be strict on their own. Ask yourself......
"The standard answer is the same as the answer."
Jiang Wen said with a smile, peeling melon seeds with Lin Nan, the two of them were very unscrupulous, and people around them did not dare to say anything.
Looking at several actors, Lin Nan felt a little emotional.
Jiang Yiyan can do anything. Among the 02-level girls, excluding Liu Yifei, she is the only one who has done well.
Gao Yuanyuan is also in the spotlight today. Recently she has been caught between Xia Yu and Yuan Quan, which is a bit bloody.
The reporters present should have been greeted in advance, otherwise this matter would not have been mentioned at all.
When the show was over, Jiang Yiyan deliberately approached Lin Nan.
"Old classmate, long time no see. Always take care of me. I'm miserable now."
"Tragic? Isn't this just like Lu Chuan's "Nanjing"?"
"Oh, I'm talking about something else. Didn't Yangyang just sign a movie? I heard that you opened the mouth..."
"Stop, Zhou Yang was already on the shortlist, I just pushed him, and besides, it was just a coincidence."
Lin Nan said, and was about to leave.
Jiang Yiyan has been more and more thoughtful in recent years, and has been deeply influenced by the entertainment industry.
Looking at Lin Nan's back as he walked away, Jiang Yiyan felt a little resentful. She didn't dare to complain about Liu Yifei, but what right did Zhou Yang have?
The weather in June suddenly warmed up.
There are also more photos of the crew of "The Forbidden Kingdom" on the Internet, and they are no longer kept secret as before.
Recently, Liu Yifei and her friends went to the Shiguliao Scenic Area to shoot. I heard that it was too hot, causing many people to suffer from heat stroke.
"It's really hot, but I can still hold on, but I got a little tanned."
Liu Yifei's voice is crisp and pleasant to the ear.
"After the shooting, I'll come back and rest for a while." Lin Nan said.
"It's really just a little bit tanned.
When I don't have a scene, I always hide under the parasol. When the filming is finished, it will definitely not be noticeable."
Liu Yifei emphasized that girls still care about their skin.
As they chatted, Liu Yifei mentioned Jiang Yiyan, who called her yesterday. There was nothing important, just to show concern and chat.
Lin Nan was a little impressed by Jiang Yiyan. Her goal and purpose were very clear.
"She accidentally mentioned that you helped Yangyang, and she thought I didn't know, hehe."
Liu Yifei laughed happily, as if someone was telling her a little story.
——
The crew of "Crazy Racing" is about to start filming.
As a producer, Lin Nan has to go to the platform.
Ning Hao's influence now ranks among the top among domestic directors. Directors who can make money are more popular than directors who can only win awards.
The press conference of commercial films is much more pleasant than the one of "Nanjing".
Lu Zheng and Jing Tian are also here.
Seeing Lin Nan, Jing Tian was obviously a little excited. Since they met a few times in early March, they had no contact.
"Brother Lin, I have received the admission letter."
The first thing Jing Tian said when he came over was this, with joy on his face.
"Then congratulations, the acting department really needs to be faster."
Lu Zheng was more utilitarian.
"I haven't had time to congratulate Director Lin, but another blockbuster has been completed. I wish it will be a big hit at the box office."
"Thank you."
Lu Zheng wanted to say something, but Ning Hao waved at Lin Nan in the crowd of reporters.
"I'll go over first."
Jing Tian's eyes moved with Lin Nan's movement.
"Tian Tian, let's go too."
Lu Zheng took a look and said.
Ning Hao chose Xiamen as the shooting location. This was also the first time the main creators met the media before departure.
The leading actors' appearance was not related to handsome men and beautiful women.
To put it bluntly, they can be described as ugly.
But each of them has acting skills.
"Has your "Painted Skin" started post-production?" Ning Hao asked.
"No, but I sent a few special effects clips out for work, and the rest of the post-production will start in two days at China Film."
Special effects are slow and take a long time, so there is no rush to start post-production.
Recently, Yue Jun has been speeding up and recruiting people. The new company's affairs are also on the agenda.
Lu Zheng seems to have something to say today, and Lin Nan can sense it.
"Director Lin, I want to ask you a question."
Lu Zheng finally spoke.
"You say."
"We plan to arrange for Tiantian to join the group from the beginning of her freshman year and work with famous actors.
Compared to letting her take classes in school, will this be better for her future development?"
Working with famous actors from the beginning is indeed a solution.
But that is generally the path of child stars, and they must be very talented and suitable for the role.
It doesn't mean that you can go up and take the lead and compete with famous actors in acting.
Jing Tian did not debut as a child star, let alone a child star like Shu Chang who has good talent since childhood.
"My suggestion is to take classes for two years and then join the crew. And you can't be the leading actor right away. If you do that, you will most likely not be able to hold the role."
Lin Nan gave a sincere suggestion for development.
But looking at Lu Zheng's expression, this didn't seem to be the answer he wanted to hear.
Jing Tian frowned slightly, thinking that what Lin Nan said made sense, but she wanted to catch up as soon as possible...
"Thank you, Director Lin. We will seriously consider your suggestion later."
Although Lu Zheng had a smile on his face, Lin Nan was sure that he would not listen.
In Lu Zheng's eyes, at least so far, there is nothing that money can't do.
He still believes that as long as you are willing to spend money, you can promote people.
"Brother Lin, if you make a movie in the future and there are less important roles, you can consider my..."
Jing Tian said very sincerely, with a very innocent smile.
"Yeah."
——
The post-production of "Painted Skin" has begun, and this time Lin Nan is more concerned than before.
This movie has very strict requirements on the texture and color of the picture.
The selling point is the plot, the picture, and the visual effects.
…
Outside, the folk art world was in an uproar.
The biggest joke in the circle has come.
The elder brother took advantage of his younger brother’s body being still warm and started to covet the inheritance from a group of nieces.
It felt like he was going to eat up the entire family.
