Chapter 399 One Person

Chapter 399 Alone...

Heavenly colors.

Lin Nan checked the production progress of the special effects of "Passengers".

"Director Lin, according to the work plan, the special effects of this movie can be completely completed before the end of February."

"Well, that's good. By the way, where is Ray's "Four Famous Catchers"?"

"It was delivered to them half a month ago."

…

As soon as Lin Nan arranged the editing work for "Genius Gunslinger", an employee came over and told him that Xu Zheng had arrived.

It's been two years since I last filmed "The Road to Misfortune".

A few days ago, Xu Zheng received a call from Yue Jun, and since then he has been unable to calm down his excited mood and state.

"People on the Road" made his transformation successful. What about the sequel? He hopes to go further!

"Director Lin."

Seeing Lin Nan come in, Xu Zheng immediately stood up.

"sit."

Lin Nan pointed to the sofa and walked straight behind the desk. He took out the script he had prepared in advance from the drawer.

"When "Unfortunately" was released, you said that you would make a sequel, and you hoped that the company would give you a chance."

"Yes, thank you, Director Lin." Xu Zheng nodded solemnly.

"Since it's all "囧", I definitely hope that the style will remain the same, continue to be maintained, and even achieve better results."

Lin Nan smiled and handed the script to Xu Zheng, who took it with both hands.

""People on an embarrassing road in Thailand"?!"

"囧TU, this kind of script is most suitable for changing the map. The story can be new, but the style remains the same. Haha..."

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Xu Zheng began to read the script, reading it very seriously.

In this industry, if you want to really stand out, you must have strength, followed by opportunities, otherwise it will be useless to give you opportunities.

In Lin Nan's view, Xu Zheng is capable and good at seizing opportunities. In addition, he is ambitious enough.

After more than half an hour, Xu Zheng finished the script.

"Director Lin, are the main actors still the original cast members?" Xu Zheng asked speculatively.

"Yes, Yue Jun has already contacted you. They are your old partners, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo. You can decide on the other actors yourself."

Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the two names spoken by Lin Nan.

The next second, he smiled again, "Director Lin, can you let Yifei make a guest appearance?

Lin Nan's eyes widened instantly and he looked at Xu Zheng, "Good guy, he's quite good at getting things done!"

"Okay!" Lin Nan agreed.

"But there is something else I want to say hello to you in advance, so you should be mentally prepared."

"Director Lin, please speak."

"We have assigned an executive director for you. He is a novice and has never worked in this industry before. You can lead the way."

Xu Zheng frowned, with an unnatural expression on his face.

He tried weakly: "Female?"

In Xu Zheng's opinion, as an internationally renowned director and someone with a girlfriend, Lin Nan wouldn't do such a thing blatantly, right?

Looking at Xu Zheng's expression and eyes, Lin Nan knew that he wasn't thinking about something good!

"Director Han's daughter! Director Yanyi from Nortel. He greeted me personally."

Xu Zheng suddenly realized it, and a different look flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Director Lin, I will definitely take care of you."

This is an incredible network! Xu Zheng muttered in his heart.

"By the way, the company has already made a budget, a budget of 30 million, and subsequent publicity expenses will be included separately.

The script was submitted for review a year ago, so you can prepare the storyboards and other things with peace of mind. It will be more efficient after starting the production this time..."

More than an hour later, Xu Zheng left Lin Nan Pictures in high spirits with the script of "囧囧" in hand.

…………

The attention of the industry was attracted by the film academy.

Nortel made a big move and invited all the students of the Class of 1978 who had graduated 30 years ago to go back to school again.

The euphemistic name is to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the graduation of the first batch of students after the resumption of enrollment, and the time is scheduled to be just a few days before the start of school.

And Level 78 is also the most awesome group of "big names" in the domestic entertainment industry.

Among them, the "fifth generation" directors especially attract attention, such as Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Gu Changwei, Li Shaohong, Wu Tse-niu...

The result is that a large number of art exam students stay at the scene in advance in order to gain minimal recognition and opportunities.

Because the news has spread, although this time it is said that the class of 78 is gathering at the school, there are far more people invited back to the school than these people.

There are also a large number of other-level directors and producers who have graduated, and even more young actors who have graduated from Nortel, the mainstays and juniors in the industry.

What's the purpose of this? From the perspective of insiders, it is already obvious.

The school personally organized the bureau and set up the stage, allowing Nortel actors to connect with directors and producers who graduated from the school and make connections...

Some media reports are very direct:

"The film academy intentionally forms a small circle and digests it internally. This will seriously undermine the little 'fairness' left in the entertainment industry and form barriers..."

Even China Theater and Shanghai Theater began to "condemn" it. After all, Nortel did "monopolize" the resources of directors and producers in the industry.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei both received invitations.

"Are you really not going?" Miss Liu asked suspiciously.

“The teacher said, if you can avoid going through this muddy water, don’t go.

It's all about matchmaking, forming cliques, and putting interests first, and there will be no shortage of nastiness. "

Lin Nan spoke Tian Zhuangzhuang's original words.

This school leadership is too eager for quick success and instant benefits. They really want to build their own circle for Beijing Film Academy, regardless of whether it is good for the industry.

"Then you have to find a reason."

"You, the notice, can't leave; I, post-editing, am busy."

…………

Lin Nan was called by Ning Hao to Bad Monkey and met Zhong Lifang.

"If you don't speak up, I will almost forget that I invested 10 million in you."

Ning Hao called Lin Nan over to discuss the release date of "The Golden Robbery".

"Director Lin, long time no see."

"Mr. Zhong, I heard from Mr. Han that you invested in Wu Yusen's "The Crossing"? "

Lin Nan asked with interest. With so much money raised, Xiao Ma is very rich now!

Zhong Lifang was obviously very happy to hear this:

"Director Lin is right. We did invest in "The Crossing". This is a very good project. It was decided a few days ago after a lot of competition."

Lin Nan smiled and said congratulations, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

"Your movie Passengers won't be released in the first half of the year, right?" Ning Hao got straight to the point.

"It will be released in the summer at the earliest."

"That's good. I plan to release The Golden Robbery at the end of April, for the May Day holiday."

"Of course, no problem."

Lin Nan agreed. This time is very good. The later it gets, the more blockbusters there are, especially imported ones.

The new Sino-US film import agreement seems to be under negotiation, and there will be results soon.

...

As they chatted, Zhong Lifang asked about the special effects company.

Lin Nan was terrified. Xiao Ma's step was a bit too big!

"We are not going to build it ourselves like Director Lin's Tiangong Color. We are going to buy a ready-made one."

"Do you have a target?"

"We are selecting. There are many such companies in Hollywood..."

"Then I wish you success."

... ...

How much media attention does the star-studded "Special Identity" attract?

Well, it may be just like the original "Warring States"!

After all, the combination of Zhen Zidan and Zhao Wenzhuo is indeed very topical, especially the latter, who is a real Wuying level.

A large number of actors and artists in the film and television industry, including production companies, will go to support it. After all, the star is shining, and it is really rich!

Liu Yifei is putting on makeup, and Lin Nan is making a phone call outside.

Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, both of them have received the script.

"Director Lin, the schedule after "Lost in Thailand" is still there."

Wang Baoqiang's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Nan can imagine his expression, he should smile before speaking, this habit is very good.

"Before "Lost in Thailand" is finished, don't give this schedule out, okay?"

"Ah?"

Wang Baoqiang was stunned at first, and then immediately smiled and agreed:

"No problem, no problem. Director Lin, I have left Huayi and can make my own decisions..."

"That's good, if everything goes well, there will be another play later."

Lin Nan stopped talking, chatted for a few words, and hung up the phone.

…………

The launch conference of "Special Identity" was indeed as lively as Lin Nan imagined.

After Lin Nan and Liu Yifei arrived, people came one after another to greet them.

"Yifei, this way."

"I'm going to Xie Nan's place, you can have fun by yourself."

Miss Liu smiled sweetly at Lin Nan like a prostitute, then waved mercilessly and walked towards Xie Nan and Liu Yan. Yeah, there are a lot of food.

Lin Nan went straight to Wang Changtian and Han Sanping.

"Director Han, please inform your daughter later that the crew is going to start filming in early March, and prepare well this month."

"Such high efficiency! No problem."

Wang Changtian was a little confused, "What movie? How come I don't know?"

"The second part of the "囧" series, the distribution can be handed over to Guangguang."

Wang Changtian was instantly happy when he heard this, "Good thing, leave it to Guangguang, don't worry."

Han Sanping opened his mouth, "Let's give "Passengers" and "Bad Genius" to China Film."

This is not a question, but an affirmative sentence!

Wang Changtian wanted to refute, but then he held back, he couldn't afford to offend.

…

The launch conference was quite grand, Lin Nan stood with Han Sanping and Wang Changtian.

He suddenly discovered that the action director of the movie "Starlight" was Zhen Zidan!

…

During the cocktail party, Lin Nan found Zhao Wenzhuo, and the two held their glasses and chatted in the corner.

"May to July? I have a schedule, Director Lin."

Zhao Wenzhuo nodded seriously, he didn't want to miss this opportunity, the movies of Lin Nan Films have always had a guaranteed reputation, and he hasn't had a good movie for a long time.

"Okay, then this matter is settled, you can come to my company to sign the contract later."

The two spoke softly, and almost no one around dared to come up and eavesdrop.

"Thank you Director Lin."

"Why don't you ask what movie it is?"

"No need to ask, I believe the movies of Director Lin's company will definitely not be bad."

Lin Nan was quite surprised, and then smiled and nodded. Sure enough, Zhao Wenzhuo is not completely without emotional intelligence!

Of the two action movies, Lin Nan finally decided on "A Man's Martial Arts".

In this movie, Lin Nan was actually more looking forward to Wang Baoqiang, who was really good at this kind of morbid role.

When he watched "Hello! Mr. Tree" at the premiere, Lin Nan thought of "A Man's Martial Arts". After returning, he spent several days to write the script.

Now we just have to wait for Lu Yang to come back from his trip abroad, so that he can prepare for the film.

Lin Nan still remembers the tone of that guy on the phone:

“In the martial arts world, freedom cannot be restrained. Let me play for another month, adjust to the best state, and prepare when I come back. Anyway, it’s still early…”

Lin Nan didn’t know what to say, so he could only tease, “Don’t hang around in the red light district…”
