Chapter 206 A Meal
Jing Tian has received many more announcements recently.
Unlike the previous EP, although the director was Ning Hao, it was just an MV with limited impact.
"The Martian" is different.
This movie really made this girl get the attention of the industry.
"You still have to shoot a movie directed by a big director."
Lu Zheng said to Jing Tian with a smile on his face. The latter had just returned from shooting a commercial with a female assistant by his side.
"Uncle Lu, I want to treat Brother Lin to a meal." The girl said her thoughts.
"Eat? Well, that's a good idea, I'll arrange it."
"Just at home..."
Lu Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded.
"Home is good, it seems close."
"The Martian" reached 320 million without any suspense, continuing to crush "Red Cliff" and regaining the box office record lost by "Painted Skin".
The higher-ups hope to hold a seminar on this movie, which is really in line with national conditions.
Lin Nan sat among a group of "scholars" and listened to them talking about the "spirit" of "The Martian".
His mind was buzzing, and he was a little doubtful whether this movie was the one he shot. Why didn't he understand it?
After returning, Liu Yifei said that she had received an invitation.
Xiang Qiang invested in a hotel-style apartment in the capital, and the first- and second-tier stars and celebrities in the circle were all invited.
Lin Nan would definitely not go, so Liu Yifei declined.
Later, I saw news reports that Zhang Yimou didn't go either.
The Huayi people were quite supportive.
When the family was interviewed, they looked regretful, "It's a pity that we didn't invite several big directors."
Lin Nan remembered what Yang Shoucheng said to him. The previous Hong Kong media reported that Lin Nan excluded Hong Kong artists and only used mainland actors. It was probably related to this family.
The two companies competed, but the war spread to Lin Nan, who had just signed a contract with Ying Huang for "Ip Man". The means were really disgusting.
Liu Dehua might really like "The Martian" and called to say that he had taken on a big-budget science fiction film and would start shooting next month.
Lin Nan curiously inquired about the specific information. The director is Wang Jing, and the name of the movie is "Future Police".
It seems that Liu Dehua likes the script very much. It is a sci-fi production of Hong Kong movies... I just hope that it will not be too hard.
——
Liu Yifei dressed up and prepared to attend Garnier's brand event.
This is the endorsement she just got not long ago, and the signing fee is as high as eight figures.
This is one of the top few among all the female stars in China, especially since she is only in her early twenties.
The effect of the three Hollywood movies is vividly reflected. Other female stars can only watch with envy.
"Wait for me to come back."
Liu Yifei waved and got in the car.
Lin Nan watched Liu Xiaoli and her group go away, and her phone vibrated.
"Sword Butterfly", which Hu Ge had previously participated in, was released on the 16th.
Although it was criticized by a large number of viewers for its shocking plot and shoddy production, the box office was still good, and it earned 15 million in the first four days of the weekend.
Industry insiders analyzed that this movie took advantage of the schedule.
"The Martian" was ahead, and it had been going strong for 20 days. No movie chose to die, so "Sword Butterfly" was dropped at this time, just in time to pick up the leak.
"What does your President Cai think? "Painted Skin" has been promoted for you, and you are asked to act in such a bad movie again?"
Lin Nan held the phone and joked with Hu Ge.
"There is no way. President Cai said it was a favor in the past. Who knew the reputation was so bad."
"Listen to my advice, don't accept Hong Kong movies in the future. They are very exclusive and good movies will never be given to outsiders."
Those people in the Hong Kong circle are very strange. They are begging for food, but they still think about using mainland actors to carry their people's sedan chairs all day long. They have no self-awareness at all.
What's more annoying is that some mainland film and television companies and actors are still happy and eager to do it.
Hu Ge was sent there by Cai Yinong and played a supporting role.
"I regret it now, and I will definitely remember it in the future..."
The good reviews accumulated in "Painted Skin" were directly offset by this "Sword Butterfly". Hu Ge must be frustrated.
Some of his fans are quite rational and suggest that he should choose scripts and crews carefully in the future.
If he is really unsure, he can consult others, such as Director Lin Nan.
…………
Only with comparison can we make choices.
The daily box office of "The Martian" is increasing miraculously.
On the 20th, China Film Group announced new data.
The cumulative box office of "The Martian" has exceeded 385 million.
Major news websites have begun to report.
This year's domestic film box office record has been refreshed three times.
But this time is particularly important, it is very likely to break the 400 million mark.
On the 21st, 394 million.
On the 22nd, 403 million.
…………
"Domestic films have officially entered the 400 million box office era!"
"The Martian has created a new record."
"Lin Nan - the first director of the 400 million box office club!"
"The pride of Beijing Film Academy..."
……
The entire industry and major film and television companies are watching.
"This is 400 million?"
Before this year, the box office record was still in the hands of "The Golden Curse".
From April to now, only 7 months after full play, the box office record has increased by more than 100 million. Lin Nan has set new records twice. All other major directors feel the pressure doubled.
"I announce that "If You Are the One" is officially finished..."
Feng Xiaogang now just wants to do a good job in post-production. As for the box office, let's set a target of 300 million. Any more will not be bragging, it must be realized in a dream.
Zhang Weiping hurriedly found Zhang Yimou. How could it be done by letting a young boy carry such a big name?
"Yimou, I'd better show that literary film first. You've been busy with the Olympics this year, and the company's operations cannot make ends meet, so let's switch to a commercial film..."
After so many years, Zhang Yimou actually resented others interfering in his creation, but Zhang Weiping did help him a lot. He also needed someone to help him deal with the rear.
"But what about the script? Currently, I am the most prepared for this literary film."
"We can definitely adapt novels or foreign movies..."
…………
Nortel has already hung up the banner.
"Congratulations to director Lin Nan of our school for his work "The Martian", which has opened a new chapter in domestic science fiction films."
A large number of students coming and going saw the new banner
"Senior Lin Nan is so proud? Is the school holding a banner?"
"You are so ignorant! I heard that this is already the third time. The first two banners were all because Senior Lin Nan won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director..."
"Old Tian, you are really not a student suitable for being detained in school. With your grades, awards, box office, and box office, and breaking records from time to time, wouldn't being detained in school be a trick for him?"
"So I rejected the school the first time, even though I didn't tell him at that time, haha."
Lu Zheng called Lin Nan and invited him to dinner.
He said he was grateful for "The Martian"'s help to Jing Tian.
When Lin Nan drove the car and arrived at the place, he found something was wrong.
This is not a hotel, restaurant or private restaurant.
We actually arrived at a high-end residential area, all of which were single-family villas.
For a moment, Lin Nan regretted coming over.
"Brother Lin Nan, here."
Just when Lin Nan was about to make a call, she heard Jing Tian's voice.
The other party appeared behind Lin Nan with a face of surprise.
"Tiantian? There shouldn't be a hotel here, right?"
"Haha, no, but you can go to my house to eat."
Jing Tian said and began to lead the way.
Lin Nan looked at the building environment here and saw that the prices were definitely no worse than those of himself and Liu Yifei.
"Normally, I live here..."
Jing Tian walked in front, saying a few words from time to time, and seemed to be in a good mood.
After a while, the two arrived at a villa, and Lu Zheng stood outside with a smile on his face.
"Learning from Director Lin."
Lin Nan didn't understand this sentence. How could he benefit from it?
After entering the villa, Lin Nan realized that this is where Jing Tian usually lives, and the decorations are all in a girl's style.
"Brother Lin, Uncle Lu, you can wash your hands first, and we'll start dinner right away."
The nanny and Jing Tian served the dishes one after another, and finally the former left.
Lin Nan really never thought that this meal would be eaten at Jing Tian's house.
"I know Tiantian as an elder, and it has been her childhood wish to be an actress.
Thanks also to Director Lin for "The Martian", Tiantian is now in a good position. Recently, there are a lot of advertisers, endorsements and scripts, haha..."
"Thank you, Brother Lin, I respect you."
Jing Tian held up a glass of orange juice and imitated a toast, which was awkward.
"You're welcome, just think of it as helping a fellow countryman." Lin Nan also raised his glass of juice.
It could be seen that Jing Tian seemed to be disappointed for a moment.
"Shall we get started?" Lu Zheng said promptly.
"good."
…………
Lin Nan felt that Jing Tian's nanny's cooking was a bit ordinary.
"Director Lin, have you decided on the role for your graduation drama?"
Lu Zheng asked suddenly.
Lin Nan didn't say anything, but Jing Tian looked at Lu Zheng in astonishment.
"Uncle Lu?"
"I'll ask Director Lin for you, haha."
"This is a foreign language film."
Lin Nan picked up a meat bun on the table and ate it. This is the way to treat guests, knowing what he likes to eat.
Lu Zheng's eyes brightened, "What about Tiantian?"
"Her acting skills are substandard."
I had good intentions and gave Mr. Lu some advice, but you didn't listen, right? "
Lin Nan felt that Lu Zheng really dared to think that even if there was a suitable role, he would give it to Liu Yifei first, so how could he give it to someone else.
Lin Nan's comment that his acting skills were not up to standard made Jing Tian feel inexplicably panicked.
"I will study hard," she whispered.
"Actually, it's okay to train on the crew, but you have to start with supporting roles and slowly work your way up. If you get to the leading role, you will definitely not be able to take it. But not every actress has Zhou Xun's ability."
Lu Zheng obviously wouldn't listen to Lin Nan's suggestion.
After eating and sitting for an hour, Lin Nan was about to leave.
The two of them personally sent him out of the community and watched Lin Nan drive away.
"Uncle Lu, you shouldn't ask."
"I'm also doing it for your own good, just in case there is a chance."
Lu Zheng sighed and sighed: "You have been studying for today's meal for a long time, right?"
"It didn't take long..."
Jing Tian replied in a low voice, then turned and walked towards the villa.
Today she really just wanted to invite Lin Nan over for a meal. She didn't think about anything else, nothing...
