Chapter 404: Lost in Thailand Starts Filming and Ends
I feel like if we make an epic movie now, it won’t be worthy of the word “epic” unless we have one or two Oscar winners.
Zhang Yimou previously filmed "Thirteen Hairpins" and found Bell to play the leading role.
This time Feng Xiaogang's "1942" is even more ruthless.
He directly invited the Oscar-winning Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor to play a role with only a few scenes in "1942".
Adrien Brody in "The Pianist" and Tim Robbins in "The Shawshank Redemption."
With the addition of these two actors, the attention of domestic media and film circles instantly focused on "1942".
You know, this movie is already halfway through filming, but the attention it received before can't be compared to the two Hollywood actors joining the cast now.
Many people in the industry lament that it is necessary for foreign monks to recite sutras!
Some people even joked with Lin Nan, saying that next time he makes a Mandarin film, he can bring in Leonardo or Matt Damon, and it will definitely be a big hit!
Not to mention, Lin Nan thinks this proposal is really worth considering, and he will take it to heart.
…………
Zhao Yanzi's "To Our Fading Youth" held a press conference in the capital.
The film school was so generous that teachers from the directing department and acting department came out to support the show.
It was the first time that Lin Nan saw Wang Changtian being so generous in investing in a newcomer's movie.
When the budget was temporarily doubled and other companies hesitated, the Rays took the lead.
Wang Changtian invested an additional 30 million and became the largest producer of "Youth", accounting for more than 60% of the investment.
"Do you think I value her directing ability?"
"Of course not." Lin Nan smiled and shook his head.
"Haha, you know better. Her biggest advantage is her appeal as an actor, and the subject matter of this movie."
Wang Changtian is right, the Qiong Yao drama is so brainwashing that it must be broadcast during holidays. Youth movies are more about memories, although most of them are nonsense.
"Good luck with the movie Ray."
Lin Nan said something unexpectedly, and Wang Changtian accepted it happily.
When "The Genius" premieres, Lin Nan is ready to sacrifice all the youth movies, let's go!
…………
Lin Nan Films.
Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo have been waiting for a while.
Well, there is also Han Jianu who is dressed very formally next to her.
Except for Wang Baoqiang who still doesn't know Han Jia'v's identity, the other two are well aware of it.
The conversation at this time was smiling, soft-spoken, and humorous, but not deliberate.
Wang Baoqiang couldn't say anything, so he could only smile on the side.
At first glance, the four of them seem to match up quite well. After all, Han Jia-nyung has a good personality.
When Lin Nan entered the conference room, the four people immediately said hello.
"Director Lin, Director Jiang."
…
"The company will not hold any opening ceremony this time. To focus on efficiency, I want to release "囧囧" this year."
Hearing this, several people instantly cheered up and felt less stressed.
"No problem, Director Lin." Xu Zheng spoke first.
Lin Nan nodded, "Director Jiang is the producer of "囧囧", you can handle it yourself later."
As he spoke, Lin Nan looked at Han Jianu.
"After joining the crew, don't make trouble for me. I can talk to Lao Jiang and replace your exams this semester with practical exercises on the crew..."
"Really?" Han Jianu's eyes widened instantly.
Lin Nan smiled and nodded, "Of course, the premise is that you really perform well on the set."
"No problem, don't worry, Director Lin. Eh? Senior Brother Lin, you didn't do the same thing at the beginning..."
"You talk too much."
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Han Jianu immediately understood. She complained in a low voice: "The scores are indeed fake. Great directors are different..."
"Brother Lin, if I write a script in the future, can I bring it to your company?"
Suddenly, Han Jia Nyeo asked a question. Judging from her expression, she was very serious.
Xu Zheng and Huang Bo both looked over, confused. Aren't they studying directing?
Lin Nan looked directly at Han Jianu: "Why do you want to bring it to me?"
"Old Han said he could find you. Besides, we should get to know each other better, haha..."
This reason is really simple!
"Okay, you can bring it to me." Lin Nan smiled and nodded.
Wang Baoqiang was still smiling, but in fact he was confused. Who is Lao Han?
…
After all, we did not wait until the beginning of March. The crew of "囧囧" set off in the last few days of February.
"The crew of "The Journey to Thailand" has left Beijing in a low-key manner..."
"The comedy film "Embarrassing in Thailand" produced by Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Xu Zhengzheng, starring Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo, will start shooting in the next few days. The crew refuses to visit the film for interviews."
…
After seeing off the crew of "囧囧", Lin Nan's heart felt relieved.
After two days of fermentation, the "encirclement and suppression" of Yin Xiaotian by a group of actors and stars has intensified.
The man's career and life have been greatly negatively affected.
Finally, Yin Xiaotian posted on Weibo, "I have already called the police. Facts and evidence will determine what is right and what is wrong. I believe justice is on my side..."
When one party really takes action, public opinion begins to waver.
There are many people watching the fun in the circle, and even more netizens watching the fun.
What everyone didn’t expect was that the crew’s answer was that they didn’t have the surveillance video in their hands, and the surveillance video was taken away immediately.
And that person was Yang, the general manager of Juli Films, Yang Zai.
Netizens were not calm now. What was Yang Zai going to do? He got the only evidence, but didn’t make it public?
When the person in police uniform asked for the surveillance video, Yang Zai was forced to make it public.
Whether it was the actors and artists in the entertainment industry or the netizens and fans on the Internet, they finally figured it out.
In the surveillance video, the woman was pointing at the man’s nose and scolding him from beginning to end.
The man was extremely angry, and he cursed back a few words, then turned around and was about to leave. He was caught up by the woman and continued to curse. Yin Xiaotian couldn’t help but pushed the woman’s shoulder.
This was the only time the two of them came into contact in the surveillance video...
Okay, the truth is out!
Who is lying and who is the victim is clear at a glance.
Public opinion began to push back, overwhelmingly toward the group of stars who had previously sworn that the man had hit someone.
"This woman is such a bitch, she's really good at biting back and blaming others!"
"Didn't Du Chun say there was evidence? Why didn't she show it? And she said it was a friend, but this is a friend who stabbed him in the back!"
"Jia Nailiang also swore that the beating was true. Why is he silent now? Isn't he going to stand up and seek justice? Where is he? Is he dead?"
"The eyes of kind people are sharp! This couple, they lie with their eyes open..."
...
"And Yang Zai is too cruel, isn't he? There is a video and they know the truth, but they still forced Yin Xiaotian to drink water and forced him to apologize..."
From Bian Xiaoxiao, to Du Chun, to Li Chen, Bao Jianfeng, Jia Nailiang, Li Xiaolu, Wang Luodan, Xue Jianing... Yang Zai...
All the actors and stars who participated in the moral kidnapping began to be ridiculed and abused by netizens.
Some people have already started to analyze:
"Bian Xiaoxiao is Huang Shengyi's best friend and Wang Luodan's classmate, so Yang Zai helps her and Wang Luodan supports her without thinking..."
"In addition, Du Chun, Li Chen, Bao Jianfeng and others can be regarded as Yin Xiaotian's competitors in his career. It's terrifying to think about it carefully!"
…………
All the actors and stars who framed Yin Xiaotian quietly deleted their previous Weibo posts. No one took the initiative to apologize, as if nothing had happened.
What surprised ordinary netizens even more was that no one in the film and television industry denounced these "bad guys", and some even advised Yin Xiaotian to be magnanimous...
It seemed that all the losses in reputation and career should be borne by Yin Xiaotian, the victim.
Only the woman apologized indifferently, saying that she was too radical and didn't mean it!
……
"He is too miserable, isn't he?"
Liu Yifei couldn't help but say.
"That group of people are backed by Huayi. Yin Xiaotian's agency is still too weak. Who in the circle would offend Huayi for him?
But these guys are really disgusting. Give me the computer..."
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Miss Liu was immediately delighted and handed the pink laptop in her arms to Lin Nan.
"Here, it's up to you."
"Well, I'll also uphold justice today. For such a mess, someone has to say something fair."
"Well, Director Lin, I'm optimistic about you."
Liu Yifei blinked at Lin Nan, exhaling like orchid.
Switching to his own account, Lin Nan began to organize his words.
"You who lied and framed others with your eyes open, if you don't apologize to the victim, you should at least apologize to me, right?
You even mocked me before, saying that calling the police wouldn't change the facts. What, have you forgotten?"
"Do you have any character? You did something disgusting and didn't even apologize. Which company would dare to hire you in the future? Anyway, I think my Lin Nan Films can't afford to offend..."
"Those who should apologize to me, hurry up, I'm not as easy to talk to as the victim.
By the way, apologizing to me should be considered bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. I think you should be tougher and refuse to apologize!"
After the Weibo was posted, Lin Nan didn't tag anyone, so he took the bait.
I don't know if the parties saw it, but netizens were very excited.
"Director Lin is tough, and finally someone speaks up!"
"They framed people and didn't even say a word. These guys are really shit..."
...
Lin Nan's circle is not comparable to Yin Xiaotian's.
Several large companies expressed their support, "This kind of actor with no character really can't be used..."
A large number of actors followed behind, liked and forwarded, and for a time all the pressure was on Huayi.
...
"He is too disrespectful." Wang Zhongjun slammed the table.
"What should we do now? Those people did ridicule Lin Nan a few times, and we can't let Lin Nan really hold a grudge against them and ban them in the end, right?" Wang Zhonglei said helplessly.
"Let them apologize to Lin Nan." Wang Zongjun ordered decisively.
"By the way, have the endorsements and acting contracts been taken?"
"All taken, everyone has a share, the biggest endorsement is taken over by Du Chun, and the acting contract is replaced by Li Chen..."
"That's good."
...
In the evening, when Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were walking their dogs and strolling on the lawn of several acres in the villa, Yue Jun called.
"These people are really flexible!"
"What's wrong?"
Liu Yifei bent down and picked up a fat orange cat, and then asked Lin Nan.
"Everyone wrote a short essay on Weibo, apologizing to me and saying soft words. But they just ignored the victim."
Lin Nan was shocked by the actions of this group of people.
The most he could do was to slap these people in the face on Weibo. But it was impossible to force others to apologize to Yin Xiaotian, because it didn't make sense.
But he never thought that these people really didn't care about their face at all, they were just bullies.
Liu Yifei opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. She could only put down the orange cat and continued to walk the dog with Lin Nan's arm.
"But fortunately, I have publicly said these people's ugly faces on Weibo. For a long time, the audience has memory, and the Internet also has memory.
Guangguang and Wanda will definitely give me face. As for other companies, I can't control it, but I think they won't deliberately disgust me.
In addition, there should be many stars in the circle who are afraid of being "stabbed in the back". In the future, they will probably be wary of these people, haha..."
"Stuck in the back?"
Hearing this word, Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing out loud.
Several cats and dogs heard their owner's laughter, and then they kept circling around Liu Yifei and Lin Nan, becoming more cheerful.
