Chapter 209: Dragon Spring on the Tongue

Lin Nan gave everyone a week, and the filming officially started a week later.

Tom pulled a copy of "Vanity Fair" and sighed for a whole morning.

The cover of this issue is Kate Winslet.

She sat naked on a stool with her legs crossed, wearing a large white suit.

Page 1, black stockings and high heels, no clothes, lying on the sofa.

The fur half-covered and half-exposed, with clear curves.

"Tom, you are affecting other people's work." Lin Nan reminded him.

Leonardo might come over later, and Tom's lecherous look is a bit inappropriate.

"Lin, look how sexy she is."

"Leon will come over later, you can discuss it with him."

"Ah? That's not necessary."

Tom put away the magazine after hearing this, and then remembered something.

"I saw a movie from your country being promoted in Hollywood, it seems to be shot by the director of the Golden Palm."

Lin Nan knew that Tom was talking about "Mei Lanfang", and he also saw the poster, or the Peking Opera version poster.

Li Ming above is the heroine of the Peking Opera "Hongniguan", and it is difficult to tell whether she is male or female.

There are many foreigners watching the strange scene, and Peking Opera is also one of the iconic cultures of China.

In the morning, Leonardo drove over. I heard that he recently broke up with another person peacefully, maybe because the other party is going to have a birthday.

"Matt, that guy, keeps saying that your script this time is great, but he won't tell me the content."

"It's okay."

"No, no, no, I know him. Just like when I talked about "Inception" in front of him, he also used the same words to describe your movie script."

Lin Nan really admired these two people, "Do you want to see the script?"

"I'd love to."

Leonardo followed Lin Nan to the third floor, and many employees looked at the two.

"This is the biggest international star I have ever seen."

"Me too, I wonder if we can take a photo together later?"

...

A group of people who just came from China not long ago were discussing excitedly.

"What's the fuss about this, Director Lin and..."

Some of the first batch of people were about to say something, but they swallowed it back.

"What's wrong with Director Lin?"

Many of the first two batches looked at the brothers who almost spoke without restraint just now, with a smirk on their faces.

"Nothing, isn't Director Lin a big shot?"

"This flattery is very good."

…………

Leonardo drank coffee, flipped through the script, and occasionally greeted Matt Damon.

Lin Nan sat in front of the computer, flipping through domestic news.

There were rumors in the industry that Chen Kaige would cut out Zhong Xintong's scenes, but it has never been officially announced to the public.

Now, the producer China Film has spoken, and the scenes involving Zhong Xintong in the film have indeed been completely deleted.

As for the reason, I won't explain it, everyone understands.

Leonardo's face was gloomy, "Lin, you should have come to me first."

"It's the same reason, you are too expensive." Lin Nan shook his head.

"Lin, next time you have a script, you must show it to me first, and the salary is a later matter."

Leonardo returned the script with regret.

"Then let's talk about it next time."

——

"The Martian" inspired many domestic film and television companies and directors to make big-budget science fiction films.

Lin Nan was inevitably compared.

Wang Jing's "Future Police" was invested by China Film Group, with a cost of nearly 200 million yuan.

"The Martian" directed and produced by Lin Nan is very good. We will try our best to emulate this movie and make "Future Police" as well as possible."

On the other hand, "Robot" invested by LeTV is very boastful, and it is worthy of being directed by Liu Zhenwei.

"Mr. Jia gave his support, so I must make it well.

This movie is definitely a science fiction film comparable to "The Martian", and even surpasses it..."

Netizens complained crazily.

"You can't brag here just because you have made "Big Talk".

"With a cost of 10 million US dollars, what can you compare with? Can you surpass it with your mouth?"

...

The reason why Lin Nan waited a week to start filming was because "New Moon" was about to be released.

As a pure fan movie, its life cycle cannot be long.

Lionsgate's distribution strength this time is better than last year.

The release date is still Friday.

On Monday, Paul called Lin Nan.

"The box office is very good, and it should be able to reach 100 million in the end.

But it's still the same problem. The box office potential is not enough, and it is decreasing significantly every day. You should have chosen global distribution at the beginning."

"No need. Thank you, Paul."

"You're welcome."

Lin Nan never thought that the second part could achieve the same results as the original time and space.

After all, the impact of the financial crisis is indeed very large.

"Tom, you can contact the equipment supplier in advance.

The profit of "New Moon" will be used to buy machines, and I will ship them back to China when the time comes..."

Lin Nan is ready to spend money for a long time.

The box office of "New Moon" sounds a lot, but the special effects company is a real bottomless pit.

"Well, I will contact them in the next two days."

Tom admires Lin Nan very much. He knows that the trend in the mainland is to take special effects abroad.

But Lin Nan prepared to open a special effects company a few years ago, and Crystal Pictures is the stepping stone.

Han Sanping sat in the office, looking at the report of "New Moon" and frowned.

When "Twilight" was released last year, Lin Nan had some proportions, but what about "New Moon" this time?

"How did he say?"

"Director Lin said that his share is still less than 10%, and asked us if we want to approve the film and buy it out?" the secretary replied.

Han Sanping's mouth twitched. Last year's "Twilight" was a huge loss.

"Buy? Will you continue to lose money after buying it?

It was a beautiful thought, so I told him that China Film would not buy it. "

Han Sanping remembered that Lin Nan persuaded him last year that "Twilight" might not be adapted to the local environment.

This year, they actually directly asked China Film Group Corporation if it wanted to approve the film and buy it out? Definitely not buying it.

——

The stylist's look for Matt Damon as a divorced man fits the script very well.

His complexion is slightly yellow and he wears glasses.

His cheeks look thin and fleshless, with a sad stubble, and he looks like a typical middle-aged good man.

"Matt, you have to work hard. I want to finish this movie within a month."

"Lin, don't worry, I won't let that bastard Leon see the joke."

Lin Nan thinks these two people are really interesting.

The crew is ready.

"action."

Matt Damon in the camera instantly brought out the shy and reserved tone and demeanor of the protagonist.

In the script, it is also this kind of character that allows the male protagonist to mingle with a group of children.

…………

For the Berlin International Film Festival, Lin Nan does belong to the direct lineage.

After learning that he had started filming a new film, a feature film, the official invitation from the Berlin Film Festival came.

"Luckily last year, "Buried Alive" required almost no post-production, just editing.

But this movie can’t do that. "

Lin Nan has a big head. Next year's Berlin Film Festival will be held nearly a month earlier than last year, so it's too late.

He also didn't want to affect the quality of the film because he was in a hurry.

After thinking again and again, Lin Nan replied an email to the Berlin Film Festival officials.

He explained why he couldn't go and expressed his gratitude.

The domestic media are still excited.

"Director Lin Nan and Director Chen Kaige are very likely to join forces with Golden Bear."

"Competition between two generations of directors, the domestic film industry is full of talents..."

…

When Liu Yifei told Lin Nan about domestic news, the latter was shocked.

Do you really want to see yourself competing head-on with Chen Kaige?

"If you can't go, let alone before the film review and nominations, or before the opening ceremony, there is a high chance that you won't be able to do well in the later stages."

Liu Yifei's recent commercials are very full.

As a result, Lin Nan called back many times, but Liu's mother answered because Liu Yifei was busy.

shooting scene.

Lucas, played by Matt Damon, is confessed to for the first time by a precocious little girl under ten years old.

First, I felt a little awkward, and then I smiled and rejected the little girl, not taking her seriously at all.

Then the nightmare comes.

The little girl perfectly embodies what it means to be:

Lying is in the nature of women, they are natural actors.

"Lin, your script is great."

Matt Damon gives another thumbs up.

"You should have started shooting this movie earlier so we wouldn't miss the Berlin Film Festival."

"I've already declined, so don't feel sorry for me anymore."

Shooting continues.

Everyone, including parents, became suspicious and launched an investigation.

It turned out that there was no basement in Lucas' house as the little girl said, and all the evidence proved that he was innocent.

Originally the male protagonist thought everything was over, but in fact the nightmare had just begun.

…………

"New Moon" is released, and the box office trend is still like the first one. The box office potential is all in the first ten days...

But this does not affect its status among the fan base. The status of several leading actors has skyrocketed, reaching the highest level.

The third part needs to be considered again.

"Lin, they want to increase the pay."

Tom conveyed the meaning of the creative team.

"What do you think?" Lin Nan asked back.

“If the earliest contract is implemented, it will indeed be too low for those actors.

But it is reasonable not to increase the remuneration, after all, we signed a contract. "

This was indeed a problem. Lin Nan thought for a while and made a decision.

"Give them a 20% increase. After all, you also said that we don't need to increase it."

"Well, I'll make arrangements."

The "Twilight" series is just a cow, and Lin Nan still hopes to rely on it to support the special effects company.

When the news that Lin Nan rejected Berlin came back to China, the media's reaction, just like the "Hunting" he is currently filming, was full of rumors.

"Director Lin Nan seems to lack confidence when he encounters "Mei Lanfang"..."

"Director Lin, retreat before fighting."

…

"These people are so idle that they can make up such excuses." Lin Nan was also speechless.

The filming of "Hunting" became more and more leisurely.

Whether it's Matt Damon, the other actors, or the director Lin Nan, they all got into the mood.

In the camera, Lucas, played by Matt, is making dinner with his son.

A stone smashed the glass of the window and flew in, almost hitting Lucas in the face.

Matt Damon's facial expressions are spot on.

The subtle expression of the protagonist realizing something was perfectly played by him.

"cut."

"take a break."
