Chapter 198 Rumor, Ning Hao's New Script

Lin Nan spent the whole afternoon in Hengdian and returned to the capital at 8 pm.

The Internet and the circle were all full of news about Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing's wedding in Bhutan.

The most interesting thing was that the man invited Zhang Manyu and the woman invited Hu Jun.

One declined and the other went. Not only netizens gossiped, but people in the circle also gossiped.

Among the movie information, Lin Nan saw the news of the launch conference of "Wolf Fang of Abu".

Wu Yi, the first director, raised 20 million investment to make an action movie.

It seems that he has gained a lot in Hong Kong Island over the years.

It's just that aiming at the Spring Festival period for the first time, this is a very rash decision in Lin Nan's view.

Huayi sent the cast list of "The Sound of Wind" to Lin Nan.

After Chen Guofu, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun argued, Zhou Xun got the leading actress as expected.

"Xiao Ming, we are working together again this time, so please be more tacit."

"Haha, don't worry about that. We were very tacit when we were working on Painted Skin, weren't we?"

While Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming were joking, Li Bingbing was not idle either.

"I have read the script. It is a very good spy war movie.

Sister, you may not be able to judge. This should be the most explicit spy war movie so far. If it is well shot, it will have a chance to win an award."

Li Xing looked at Li Bingbing and said affirmatively.

"But now the role has been decided. Can I still ask Director Chen to change it back? Will he agree? Is Zhou Xun willing?"

Li Bingbing was also a little unwilling.

But in terms of awards, he really couldn't compare with Zhou Xun's Golden Horse Award and Golden Image Award.

In terms of box office, the 295 million yuan of Painted Skin is a new record for domestic films, and he can't compete with it at all.

Although Li Bingbing is the elder sister, it has always been her younger sister Li Xing who makes decisions. In the past, it was Wang Jinghua.

Li Xing pondered for a while and suddenly looked up.

"Although you can't change the role, you can find a way to change the part.

Delete some, add some, become a double heroine during filming, and even make you more outstanding through special parts..."

Li Bingbing's eyes became brighter as he listened. This is indeed a good idea.

"But how to do it?"

"You and I will go to find President Wang. In terms of relationship, we are definitely closer to the company. Let the company communicate with Director Chen.

Didn't she just say that the contract will not be renewed after it expires? President Wang can't be angry."

——

The wrap-up ceremony of "My Captain, My Regiment" was held in Tengchong.

After Zhang Yi came back, he met Lin Nan and went to find Cao Baoping. He had to keep up with the second round of publicity.

As soon as the drama was finished, four TV stations came to find it, which is not comparable to "Soldier Assault" at the beginning.

Lin Nan handed over the matter of pulling with the TV station to Yue Jun, and he had to meet Han Sanping.

So far, no domestic distribution company has come to ask about the distribution of "The Martian".

Everyone knows that this business must be done by China Film.

As luck would have it, Lin Nan met Huo Wenxi at the China Film Academy, and she was with Zhong Xintong.

"Hello, Director Lin."

"Why is Director Huo strolling outside?"

Lin Nan ignored Zhong Xintong, although she smiled and bowed to greet him.

"Director Yang and Director Han are talking inside, we are waiting here."

Huo Wenxi felt unnatural for a moment, and it was obvious that she was unsure about what was being discussed inside.

"Her business?"

"Yes, it's Gillian's business." Huo Wenxi nodded.

In the last incident, the actresses involved were terminated from all activities in the mainland, and their advertisements, endorsements, film and television works, etc. were all removed from the shelves and stopped broadcasting.

From this, is there a turning point?

Since Han Sanping was meeting guests inside, Lin Nan could only wait outside.

After a while, someone greeted and brought fruits and snacks.

Huo Wenxi looked at the scene in front of him with surprise.

"Haha, that's how it is when you get to know each other well. I often treat them to food."

...

The door of Han Sanping's office opened, and Yang Shoucheng walked out first.

"Boss Yang." Huo Wenxi and the other two came up.

"Director Lin is here too."

"I've been here for a while. Isn't this Boss Yang in there?"

Lin Nan looked inside while talking, and Han Sanping seemed to be on the phone.

"How did Boss Yang talk?"

"The rest of the people have to wait a little longer, but Gillian's advertisements and endorsements can be put back on the shelves recently."

Yang Shoucheng felt relieved when he said this.

"Then congratulations."

After Han Sanping finished the call, he called Lin Nan in. Yang Shoucheng and the other two left together.

"Boss Han, is the Hong Kong Island thing over?"

"The top priority now is the Olympics..."

After saying this, Lin Nan understood the meaning. There are demands over there, and this side will gradually relax.

...

The discussion about "The Martian" lasted for nearly an hour.

The film distribution is mainly concentrated in Asia.

In Europe and America, after careful consideration, they decided not to release the film, but only sell the copyright, which not only saves time but also allows for quick payment.

Lin Nan believes that with his record of winning the Silver Bear for Best Director twice, the copyright will not sell badly.

After all, he sold Buried for 20 million US dollars.

"Among the movies in October, only yours is a good one, and the rest are just for show if you look at the names.

China Film will skew resources, and the other producers also have the same intention. For the distributors in Southeast Asia, we must also try our best to obtain the number of films..."

The more Han Sanping said, the more Lin Nan felt stressed, which obviously had a hint of mission attribute.

After talking about business matters, Lin Nan was about to talk about personal matters.

"Director Han, can you help me?"

"What's the deal?"

"Get me some tickets for the opening ceremony. I want the ones in the front and in the best area, hehe."

He can easily get general tickets for the opening ceremony, but for tickets in the core area, he really needs help.

"With your grades, it's okay to get one, but how much are your 'some'?"

"Not many, just ten." Lin Nan said with a shy face.

"Let's go." Han Sanping's face darkened instantly.

"What about the Bazhang Head Office?" Lin Nan took a step back.

"Up to five, I can transfer them to you from China Film's quota."

"Okay, five will be five, thank you, Director Han." Lin Nan hurriedly agreed and settled for safety.

…

When I returned to the company, I heard the good news about Yue Jun.

Because of the reputation of the previous "Soldier Assault", the four satellite TV stations made high bids for "Leader" this time.

The price of a single episode in the first round is set at one million, in the form of an upfront payment plus a balance payment.

Just wait until the finished film is delivered and everything will be settled.

Lin Nan called his father and asked him if he wanted to come to the capital to watch the Olympics. Old Lin didn't even think about it and refused to go.

He asked naggingly how he and Liu Yifei were doing, whether they had any conflicts, and recently he heard that he was filming a movie abroad...

Finally, he gave a stern warning: Don’t be messy, otherwise Lin Nan’s legs will be broken.

After some "education", he hung up the phone on his son.

The Olympics are approaching and the entertainment industry is in full swing.

Celebrities and entertainers from all walks of life gathered towards the capital.

Among them, Zhang Ziyi has the most news. Who asked her to bring a foreign son-in-law?

Ning Hao rarely invited Lin Nan to dinner.

The treat place is Bad Monkey, and the meal is delivered by the hotel.

"I have already communicated with China Film Group, and "Racing" is scheduled to be released in late January."

Ning Hao has an excitement about doing big things.

"Well, it's really the Lunar New Year time."

"When I'm promoting, come and support me."

…

Halfway through the meal, Ning Hao ignored Xing Aina's glare and went to the office to get a script and asked Lin Nan to correct it, most likely to show off.

"You still have to compete for awards. I hired someone to do this script. Take a look. You have more experience in this area than me."

Ning Hao looked very excited, indicating that he was very optimistic about the script.

"Show it to him. Ever since he got the script, he has been talking about it all day long." Xing Aina added.

Lin Nan started to read.

"Racing" has five narrative threads, but this script is a single-line narrative.

But the more he looked, the more Lin Nan frowned.

"Road movie?"

"right."

Half an hour later, Lin Nan had a look of helplessness on his face.

"The movie is a good movie, but have you ever thought about whether it will pass censorship?"

Almost no director can refuse a script full of criticism and resistance. This is also a type of film competing for awards.

Ning Hao disagreed, "I think it's okay."

It was difficult for Lin Nan to accept this. He also knew Ning Hao's temper. It was almost impossible to turn back once he had made up his mind.

"Then change the script and make it a little "sunny". This script is too depressing, and the protagonists are all dark..."

Lin Nan gave his own suggestions.

Xing Aina changed the subject and talked about going to the Olympics then.

After Lin Nan left, the couple began to discuss what the former had just said.

"Why don't you just listen to him and change it?"

"If you don't change it, just shoot it like this."

"But what Lin Nan said makes sense." Xing Aina reminded.

"I know he means well, but I really don't want to change this book. Find investment from China Film."

Ning Hao thought for a while and made a decision. .

He thinks this is a good way to help with the review, and Han Sanping should be willing to invest.

On the other side, Lin Nan just hoped that Ning Hao would listen and persuade her to change the ending.

Liu Yifei sent back the news that her scenes will be completed at the end of the month and she will be back in early August.

…………

"Why should I change my role?"

Zhou Xun was a little excited and asked.

The agent was also very angry. This was just informed by Wang Zhonglei. She objected but to no avail.

In Wang Zhonglei's words, "In order to make the script more substantial and have better group portrait effects, I revised the script."

"Brother Xun, what did Director Chen say? Did he only change your role?"

Zhou Xun had a gloomy face.

"Director Chen said that President Wang and Director Wang had talked to him one after another, hoping to become a double heroine.

Do you think only my scene was deleted? You can really do anything. "

"Involved in the drama over there?!"

The agent immediately understood that the two heroines were just increasing and decreasing in roles.

"Then let's forget it now?"

"Forget it? How could it be possible?" Zhou Xun sneered.

Deputy Chen Guo told Zhou Xun on the phone that since the changed plot would not affect the overall movie, he could not refuse.

But he also hinted to Zhou Xun that he couldn't refuse, but someone could.
