Chapter 228 Evolution From Human to God

"Not suitable?"

Jing Tian nodded disappointedly.

Lu Zheng did not expect this result.

Jing Tian has the experience of "The Martian", so she is definitely qualified to play a soft science fiction.

"Since it is not suitable, forget it.

The company is perfecting the script of the movie prepared for you, and this time it is a modern urban theme."

Lu Zheng comforted her and talked about the new project prepared for Jing Tian.

On the other side, Yang Mi looked at the text messages on her mobile phone and found it difficult to accept.

She did not see Liu Yifei at the scene that day.

But why did she, one of the four little beauties, still fail to be selected?

"It shouldn't be Tang Yan and Shi Shi, could it be Jiang Yiyan and the others?"

…………

Lin Nan looked at the list of cast members brought by Guo Fan, which was a bit beyond his expectation.

"Can you tell me the reason for choosing them?"

He did not interfere with the casting, but was curious about Guo Fan's thoughts.

"I think it is not suitable to find a handsome male lead. This one is just right, and his acting skills are not bad."

Guo Fan said with a smile.

Lin Nan really couldn't refute this reason.

"What about the female?"

"I think her acting is very good. She is definitely one of the best among the auditioners.

She looks good too. Most importantly, she is really cheap, haha..."

Guo Fan said this with confidence, but this is also a choice that a qualified director should make, all for the movie.

Lin Nan smiled and shook his head, "Congratulations, you have made the school remember you before you even got into Beijing Film Academy."

"What do you mean?" Guo Fan was a little confused.

"Haha, let's publish the list."

Lin Nan did not answer, with a playful smile.

"Well, I'll go later."

--

In the afternoon, Lin Nan Pictures' list of cast members for "Source Code" appeared on various portal websites.

"As expected of someone who is going to Beijing Film Academy, Director Guo's casting is consistent!"

"Oh my god, finally there is a Beijing Film Academy director who does not choose actors from the Chinese Theatre Academy!"

"But he chose actors from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, hahaha..."

"With this operation, he will definitely be a big director in the future!"

...

Many media reporters came to Lin Nan Pictures for interviews.

The answers they got were that the casting was entirely decided by Director Guo Fan, and Director Lin Nan did not intervene.

At this time, Guo Fan finally understood what Lin Nan meant in the morning.

Several familiar school teachers came to him to confirm this matter, and finally hung up the phone with a sigh.

Even his tutor sighed and said that the acting department had contacted him several times.

Lin Nan was answering the phone at this moment, from Lao Zhou.

"Hahaha.

Teacher Zhou, I didn't instruct you at all. It was Guo Fan who chose the person himself. It was purely a coincidence, hehe..."

Lao Zhou on the other end was angry, "You guys just do it this way, and you even relay..."

After the call ended, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.

Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama accounted for more than 70% of the auditions, and less than 20% were from Shanghai Theatre Academy.

With this ratio, Guo Fan chose Lei Jiayin and Wan Qian.

The rest of the supporting roles with some lines and shots were also given to actors who were not from the three major schools, which was very weird.

Lin Nan met the two people from Shanghai Theatre Academy in the company.

Wan Qian is from the 2000 class, and Lei Jiayin is from the 2002 class.

The two of them are still a little dizzy. When they received the call, they thought they were dreaming.

"Don't worry, Director Lin, I will act well and will not let you down."

Good guy, a tall and mighty man from Northeast China, can also flatter?

But he flattered the wrong person!

"From beginning to end, I didn't get involved in the casting. You have to thank Guo Fan."

"Ah? It's okay, thank you, thank you, haha..."

Wan Qian looked much more ladylike.

"I'm very happy to act in Director Lin's script. Your "The Martian" is great. I've watched it several times."

"Thank you."

After signing the contract, the two left.

They didn't expect that they would meet Lin Nan when they came to sign the contract. This is a real big director.

"Senior, Director Guo said that we will join the crew at the end of the month and give the script in a few days. What do you think is the relationship between the characters we play?"

Wan Qian thought for a while, "For a science fiction movie, we should be partners and teammates. We can't play lovers, right?"

"It seems to be the case!"

Lei Jiayin nodded, and his mind naturally thought of the Martian team in "The Martian".

...

Because of "Inception".

China Film has maintained contact with Lionsgate, Warner and other companies for more than a year.

Recently, I learned that Crystal Pictures and Lionsgate are cooperating on a movie that meets the A-level production standards.

With a try-it mentality, Han Sanping asked someone to ask if he could participate.

Just like the cooperation model of "Inception".

After waiting for two days, there was finally a reply.

"How is it?" Han Sanping asked his secretary.

"Director Han, they said that they are currently in the process of establishing the project, and have not yet considered whether to enter the domestic market."

This answer is a bit ambiguous, but fortunately it was not directly rejected.

"What's the name?"

"Translated, it should be "Ocean's 8" or "Now You See Me"."

The secretary replied.

"The name alone sounds good."

Han Sanping nodded and commented.

"Now that we've established a connection, we can't just cut it off. Let's keep in touch."

"Okay, Director Han."

After the secretary went out, Han Sanping thought of a question.

"Does Lin Nan know?"

…

Lin Nan was a little surprised when she saw Paul's email.

The matter of "Now You See Me" is not hidden, the outside world will know about it sooner or later.

It was just the speed of China Film's reaction that made him a little shocked.

When did state-owned enterprises become so efficient?

Since we were also cooperating with "Inception", China Film Group asked, and Lionsgate just said a little bit.

The result was that China Film Group was asking if it could take a share.

"forget it."

Lin Nan clicked on the keyboard and replied an email.

No third parties are required for this project.

As a result, within half an hour, the call came.

"Do you know about the new projects of those two companies?"

What can Lin Nan say? Everyone knows that he has a good relationship with Lionsgate Pictures and Crystal Pictures.

"Know."

Han Sanping on the other end of the phone was obviously excited, "Then they didn't call you?"

"Well……

Director Han, I personally did not participate in the investment this time.

Only the script was provided. "

Lin Nan didn't lie, he personally didn't invest.

Han Sanping felt a little sorry.

"If that's the case, then I'll have someone contact me?!"

"Of course, it's up to you."

As Lin Nan said these words, she was already thinking silently for Han Sanping in her heart, hoping that Paul would refuse more tactfully.

"Well, that's it, I'll do it later, I'll treat you. Haha..."

Han Sanping seemed to be confident and in a good mood.

——

Since Liu Yifei got the script, she has become even more diligent.

Read the script in the morning and practice in the afternoon.

Sometimes I even pull Lin Nan and ask him to tell a story for me.

"What can I say about this script? The most prominent focus is the word 'cool'.

How much damage the heroine suffered in the early stage is reversed in the later stage, so that the contrast effect can be maximized and the audience will enjoy watching it. "

Liu Yifei nodded.

She has read through the script twice, and there are really many scenes.

"The filming period of this movie will not be long, but it may be very intense, so you have to be mentally prepared."

Lin Nan held the girl's face and said warmly.

"You underestimate me?"

There was a look of disdain on Liu Yifei's delicate face.

"What I mean is, you have to take care of your body. Look at those action actors, they all have injuries to one degree or another."

Lin Nan said seriously, and the girl nodded seriously.

"I'll pay attention."

"Then when will you join the group? Mom is also asking about this."

"The earliest is the end of next month, and the latest is around the time when "Inception" is released.

Tom hasn’t sent any news yet, the crew should be making preparations..."

…

…

Although he was mentally prepared, Han Sanping still felt a little uncomfortable when he was actually declined.

Thinking about it, he just talked nonsense to Lin Nan a day ago.

It was a slap in the face now, it really hurt.

"The more this happens, the better the project is. It's a pity that we don't give it a chance..."

Ning Hao and his team spent a week at Tiangong Color to complete the post-production of "No Man's Land".

This guy is really thick-skinned.

"From now on, all my movies will be post-processed by you."

"Remember to settle the account."

"What a sting, I thought you would give me free sex."

"Brother, where are the equipment worth hundreds of millions? How dare you say this?"

"Haha, I was just joking, but this thing is really good!"

Ning Hao finished the post-production work that day and handed it over to the film bureau.

In his words, after half a month or a month, once the release permit is obtained, the film can be scheduled for release.

Lin Nan didn't say anything, she just wished him good luck and could get over it in one go.

The Cannes Film Festival is over. Jia Zhangke won the Best Screenplay. He is the only Chinese to win the award.

The movies on Hong Kong Island and Bay Island were completely wiped out.

The attention of the mainland film and television circles suddenly focused on Lin Nan.

The next few months will be film screening time in Venice. Whether you can take a chance on the Golden Lion depends on whether Lin Nan is on the shortlist.

Tom rushed to report the progress to Lin Nan.

"The crew has made preparations and will start filming before the end of July at the latest. You have to confirm the time with Crystal."

After all, Liu Yifei is the star of "Inception". When this movie is released, she still has to make an appearance, so the time is a bit tight.

"No problem, this movie won't be shot for long, I will make arrangements."

…………

After staying in the practice room all afternoon, Liu Yifei read the script on the sofa after washing herself.

Maybe he was too tired and fell asleep without realizing it.

Seeing her daughter like this, Liu Xiaoli smiled and shook her head, her eyes full of love.

She took a blanket and covered Liu Yifei. If she was woken up and asked to sleep on the bed, this girl would definitely continue reading the script.

Liu Xiaoli picked up the script that fell on the ground, smoothed it out, and put it on the table.

I saw the name printed on the first page of the script, and a note below.

She read it out subconsciously.

""Super Body"!"

"Evolve from human to god!"

Originally I chose another movie, but there were more or less sex scenes between men and women.

I was afraid of being criticized, so I honestly chose "Super Body".
