Chapter 193 Audition for Inception

Lin Nan's phone was really bombarded with calls.

They all wanted to know the content of the script, or the setting of the female character.

Even the unfamiliar Hairun and Star Media came to join in the fun.

A large number of brokerage companies and actors were quietly waiting for the next notification from China Film Group, ready to try their best to audition.

Jiang Yiyan was also prepared. In her opinion, Lin Nan only had a 5% share, so it should be impossible for him to provide much help to Liu Yifei and could not influence the result.

Zhang Ziyi asked Warner for information through her fiancé.

In her eyes, she should be the closest to the producer, after all, her fiancé is the largest individual shareholder of Warner.

But the response she got was not ideal. The huge Time Warner Group was also full of mountains and rivers.

The project of "Inception" was led by Christopher Nolan, and no one else could get involved.

"Looking at the domestic situation, in terms of strength and status, except for those one or two, I don't believe anyone can compete with me."

Zhang Ziyi muttered, ready to audition when the time comes.

Although she has acted in many Hollywood movies, she has never been associated with the word "box office".

But Leonardo is different. The latter has a well-known nickname, that is, box office guarantee!

If she can take advantage of this opportunity to achieve a breakthrough in the movie box office, it will be of great help to her career.

…

The Olympics has boosted the sense of honor of the Chinese people and also made the housing prices in the capital jump several levels.

Yue Jun listened to Lin Nan's advice and stopped waiting. He bought a small villa directly, which can be regarded as taking root completely.

"The Forbidden Kingdom" got 60 million box office in the three days of May Day, and the total domestic box office reached 150 million, and the growth trend has not slowed down at all.

Lin Nan has been distracted these two days, sometimes drowsy, and there are always double images in front of his eyes.

On the 6th, Nolan and his party came to the capital.

China Film was responsible for the reception and announced to the public that it began to accept audition resumes.

Then it quickly spread on the Internet.

"Lin, are you really not coming?" Tom asked on the phone.

"No, you guys take your time to audition."

"Okay then. Don't worry, nothing will go wrong, I promise. Haha."

The circle is all paying attention to China Film Group, and the media even wanted to interview, but they were stopped outside China Film Group.

The reporters turned around and began to look for Lin Nan.

The latter had been answering calls all morning, and even Zhang Ziyi called.

The meaning of his words was that he would go to the audition, and he didn't know whether Lin Nan would participate in the casting.

Lin Nan's answers to these people were very consistent, that he would not go to the scene.

No matter how these people understood his reply, Lin Nan only admitted the literal meaning.

…………

Huayi's intention to poach Deng Chao has been very obvious in the past two years, otherwise why would it give so many resources.

The latter also returned the favor, but the contract had not expired, so he kept dragging the performances arranged by the previous agency until the contract expired recently.

I thought I could sign Huayi smoothly, but the previous agency was not a pushover and directly sued Deng Chao.

It claimed 7.5 million yuan on the grounds of suspected breach of contract, causing the company to suffer huge losses.

There are many companies in the industry that are laughing at the joke. Huayi has been too domineering in the past two years. It doesn't want to train new people, but only picks mature artists raised by others.

Lin Nan heard Huang Xiaoming mention it.

The leader is a smart man. He thought of the situation between Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing.

After Deng Chao came in, he was probably in a competitive relationship with him.

Zhou Xun also came to join in the fun, which Lin Nan didn't expect.

"The female artists in the company are all staring at me, and my agent also asked me to try. I thought I might as well ask you, aren't you a screenwriter?"

"Have you bought stocks?"

"I bought one million shares."

"I suggest you don't go." Lin Nan said.

"Why?"

Lin Nan hesitated, not knowing whether to open his mouth, but finally said it.

"Your age may not be an advantage."

"Fuck, you said I'm old?"

Across the phone, Lin Nan was almost deafened by the roar.

"No, absolutely not.

Let me tell you something. The character in the script is in her twenties. Even if Nolan and his team lowered their requirements, why can't they choose those under 30?"

"You just said that I'm old, so there's no need to make excuses. Okay, that's it. I'm hanging up."

A beeping sound rang out. Lin Nan admired his hot temper.

On the other side, Zhou Xun, who hung up the phone, smiled and said, "Under 30? Doesn't that mean that guy will make a wasted trip, haha..."

...

A few days later, China Film announced that the audition had begun.

The actresses in the circle who had passed the resume screening began to take action.

The next day, a large number of media reporters waited outside China Film, ready to take pictures.

For such a big production, the actresses had no face to care about. One by one, they had to go in and line up and wait in person.

China Film opened a banquet hall for reception to facilitate the rest and waiting of these actors and artists.

Lu Zheng took Jing Tian and entered China Film smoothly.

Looking around, all the actresses were beautiful and had great figures.

The most eye-catching ones are the big stars: Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, and Fan Bingbing.

There are also Gao Yuanyuan and Jiang Yiyan who took leave from the "Nanjing" crew.

Yu Nan, Zeng Li, Huang Shengyi, Han Xing, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Dong Xuan...

The people at the scene have all been screened by China Film.

"Tiantian, let's go and find a seat to sit first."

…………

On the other side, Lin Nan endured a headache and sent Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli into the car.

"Come on, I'm waiting for your good news." Lin Nan smiled and waved.

"Yes, I can." Liu Yifei smiled sweetly.

The car started slowly and left the villa.

"Tom, if you screw up, haha..."

Lin Nan muttered something and walked towards the villa with a headache. He had to take his temperature, but he always felt uncomfortable.

Outside China Film Academy.

The media reporters have been extremely excited for a long time. Today, all the people photographed are famous actors, and the number is still increasing.

A car came slowly.

"Here comes another person, hurry up."

"It's Liu Yifei and her mother!"

After waving to greet the reporters, the two entered the China Film Studio.

"It's so beautiful. I hope she chooses it."

A reporter looked at the photo he just took and sighed.

"It's beautiful."

The banquet hall was already filled with many people.

Seeing Liu Yifei and her daughter entering, many actresses instantly felt that they had another strong competitor.

Liu Yifei's two consecutive movies are both related to Hollywood, which is a huge plus.

Li Bingbing was the first to greet Liu Yifei, followed by Zeng Li and Jiang Yiyan. Yang Mi hesitated and finally shouted.

Liu Yifei responded politely.

Not long after, Zhang Ziyi came out of the audition with a smile on her face.

Many people suddenly became nervous after seeing it.

This is what Zhang Ziyi wants. Even Christopher Nolan recognizes her strength and status.

In these little girl films, the psychological quality is not necessarily very strong. It is best to be able to mess up during the audition.

Someone came over and called Jing Tian's name, and Lu Zheng accompanied him over.

"Tiantian, be more confident."

"Well, I understand, Uncle Lu."

…………

Nolan looked at the English-only resume in his hand and found it very interesting. The little girl in front of him had acted in Lin Nan's movie, a science fiction film that had not yet been released.

Tom next to him also looked like he had seen a ghost. He knew how much Lin Nan valued "The Martian". The actors in it were all selected by Lin Nan himself.

But Lin Nan didn't tell him about the girl in front of him.

"Your English is good, but it's a pity that there will be better opportunities in the future." Nolan gave the answer.

When Jing Tian heard this, his mind went blank for a moment, he said a dull thank you and left.

Lu Zheng looked at Jing Tian who came out and already guessed the answer. There were tears in the girl's eyes.

"I really want to act with him..."

Only he could hear the faint murmuring. Jing Tian thought of Liu Yifei who was still in the banquet hall...

Female artists came in one by one, some were brushed off directly, and some were asked to wait for news.

Nolan said that Li Bingbing's age was not an advantage, which embarrassed the latter.

Tom slipped out and walked to the banquet hall. He had a mission.

Li Bingbing knew that he was out of luck, and he was talking to Liu Yifei at the moment. During the filming of "The King of Kung Fu", the two of them became familiar with each other.

"Come on, I'll go back first, bye."

"Bye-Bye."

…

The audition finally came to Yang Mi. As soon as she got up, she saw a fat foreigner walking towards her.

The foreigner looked surprised and shouted in Chinese, "Crystal, long time no see."

Just when Yang Mi and others were confused, they heard Liu Yifei's voice.

"Tom, you're actually here?"

Liu Yifei's eyes widened with a look of disbelief.

Liu Xiaoli also recognized this fat man. When her daughter was filming "Journey to the Center of the Earth," he often came to visit her and was Lin Nan's friend.

"Haha, we haven't seen each other for three years, and you are more beautiful than when you were filming "Journey to the Center of the Earth."" Tom said loudly.

Many people around me were a little confused. Does Liu Yifei know the person who auditioned? !

Tom didn't stay for two minutes before going back. It would be nice to see someone, but he didn't want to mess this up.

Nolan looked through her resume. It was rare for the girl in front of her to have such a good resume at her age.

Especially "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "The Kung Fu King". The former is controlled by New Line, and to put it bluntly, it is a Warner project. The latter is now doing very well at the box office in North America.

"OK, Crystal, right? Your language talent is very good and you have experience in action movies. We will consider you..."

"Thank you, Director Nolan. Goodbye, Tom and Paul." Liu Yifei smiled and waved and walked out.

Nolan looked at the two people on the left and right with a surprised look on his face and found that they were both smiling.

"You all know her?" Nolan asked doubtfully.

"Christopher, "The King of Kung Fu" is produced by Lionsgate, and I am the producer assigned to the crew." Paul laughed.

"What about you, Tom?"

"Dear Director Nolan, the movie "Journey to the Center of the Earth" was Lin Nan's eighteenth birthday gift to her. Do you understand what I mean? Haha..."

Nolan was stunned for a few seconds, and then took out Liu Yifei's resume from the document bag marked "Alternate"...
