Chapter 20 Daily life
"Director Lin, our company currently wants to expand its business and enter the film industry. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Cai Yinong asked very directly, taking advantage of this atmosphere .
What can Lin Nan say? Are you still doing TV dramas well?
Tang Ren has some background in Hong Kong Island, but wanting to make movies in the Mainland is obviously a bit far-fetched.
Nowadays, the main actors in mainland movies are in Beijing circles, or around a few big directors.
It can be said that Tangren has almost no foundation in the mainland film industry. Even Shanghai Movies can’t get enough to eat, let alone Tangren.
“Aren’t TV series quite profitable?” Lin Nan said perfunctorily.
This is indeed the case now. The investment cost of movies is mostly lower than that of TV series, and the risk of the former is much higher than that of the latter, unless you can have Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou like Huayi or New Picture.
Or maybe you can invite Director Chen, but I’m afraid Beijing Film Studio won’t agree.
Cai Yinong smiled, "Which film and television company with some goals doesn't want to make movies, don't you think so?"
The question came back again, "That's true, which actor doesn't want to be a movie star." Lin Nancha changed the subject.
Tangren wanted to invest in Lin Nan's company, or ask Lin Nan to help make a movie, but the latter refused, simply because he was unwilling, and there were reasons. He had just finished filming a movie, and there were a lot of things going on this year, so he just invested. A movie, as a producer, as for the name, keep it secret.
"That's a pity. When Lin Nan has a schedule, I will definitely ask you to cooperate."
Lin Nan still has to give him the face he deserves. When he is free, he will say it. Calculate.
After the dinner, we went to visit the Qin Palace again. Lin Nan could never get tired of it. It was so majestic. Director Chen was indeed a qualified architect. I wonder how he came up with the mosquito-repellent incense in "The Promise".
Mother Liu did not follow this time. Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and Hu Ge were walking along the road in Hengdian to enjoy the scenery.
“After this drama, I’m afraid you will become extremely popular.” Lin Nan said to Hu Ge.
“Director Lin is so sure?”
“I’m sure.”
"What about me?" Liu Yifei joined in the fun and asked.
“Another masterpiece, Miss Ling’er.” Lin Nan said seriously with a smile.
"My acting skills have been improving." Tianxian was very shy.
Lin Nan doesn’t know what to say. This girl has an artistic heart and always wants to be like Gong Li, but you really don’t have that talent.
Every time Liu Yifei joins a group, she brings some classics with her. Her free time is very monotonous, reading, petting cats or rehearsing. Her life skills may not be as good as those of primary school students in the village.
"When the filming is completed, I will go back to school. Do you have any plans?" Liu Yifei asked, and Hu Ge slipped away first.
"Sister, it will be summer vacation at that time. I don't know if I will have anything else to do. The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers will be opened in September. I still have to go there. You can play by yourself." Lin Nan complained.
"Furthermore, you said that "The Condor" will start shooting in October, so you are not allowed to join the cast in advance?"
"Isn't there still a few months in between?" Liu Yifei Start to retort.
“That’s okay, just go back when you have time. Don’t be gossiped about in the future, saying that you don’t go back to school all day long. After all, you are still a student...”
There are some things that should be reminded. This is what Lin Nan does now, so as to save the words from being talked about later.
In this regard, Mother Liu doesn’t care at all whether her daughter goes to school, or whether she has friends around her, or how her interpersonal relationships are. She only cares about whether her daughter develops according to her own plan. With her as a mother and Just godfather.
"Auntie may not think sometimes that this industry is a circle, which is about interpersonal relationships and exchange of interests. She can easily offend others by being so rampant, and you will be the one who is excluded in the end."
Lin Nan said kindly, Liu Yifei seemed to have heard some of it, but didn't really care. This Buddhist character is easily hurt.
"You are only three years older than me, and you pretend to be like an old man." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and said to Lin Nan with a smile.
Hengdian Film and Television City was very big. The two of them had been shopping for less than an hour when the call came and Mother Liu was calling.
The two could only walk back, "Come and visit my class when you are free in the second half of the year."
Back at the hotel, Liu Yifei said this to Lin Nan, the next day Lin Nan is about to go back.
By then, "Return to Youth" will be released. Lin Nan nodded, "I will go."
Liu Yifei entered the room happily. Lin Nan shook her head. At that time, she was afraid that Zhang Dabeard would take the opportunity to promote and market.
"If you are taken advantage of, just take advantage of it. It's no big deal." Lin Nan muttered.
Lin Nan left Hengdian early the next morning and returned to school.
I don’t know why, but the final exam has to be moved up. It used to be at the end of June, but this time it’s at the beginning of June.
"Linzi, what's wrong? You're looking sad?"
"What else can you do? I've only been in school for a few days this semester? I think I'm going to get cold."
Originally, Lin Nan planned to come back and make up for it, but as a result, the exam was brought forward and she was speechless.
"Go and find a teacher. These theoretical things are not laying the foundation for practice. You have already started to use them directly. Why are you still taking this exam?"
The classmate speaks very nicely, but Lin If Nan dared to say this to the teacher, he would definitely get slapped in the face.
Many substitute teachers in the school are from the Filmmakers Association. Domestic film awards and film festivals are organized by this organization. It is estimated that many of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers went there, and many outstanding students will also be taken to gain experience. Having a good relationship with the teacher has this benefit. "Return to Youth" was submitted to the film festival by China Film and Shanghai Film Festival, and "Warm and Bright" was submitted to Shanghai Film Festival alone.
But it's only the beginning of June, and it won't open until September. Oh, by the way, the jury has to start working two months in advance.
Teacher Zhou from the Acting Department is very happy. At least three people in the class have booked their places in the film festival.
It's strange that Lu Chuan's character didn't allow "Kekexili" to participate in this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival. It seems that he is planning to directly apply for the Golden Horse Award in September.
Coming out of the classroom wilted, Lin Nan admitted that he failed the test. He knew a lot of the content and had done it in practice on the crew, but it was awkward to write it down in professional terms.
Teachers take these very seriously. If you localize a professional term, they will think you are blaspheming the art of film.
Lin Nan, who was waiting for the substitute teacher of the directing department to be summoned at school, took the time to have a meal with her classmates. There were rumors of a love affair in Zhouxun. Li Yapeng was in love with the princess. It was only a few days apart, and the relationship between the two parties was still chaotic.
Zhou Xun is very talented, but a common problem among talented women these days is that they are particularly emotionally entangled, and the same goes for the princess.
You can't escape by running away. Lin Nan was summoned by several teachers in succession. He barely passed the exam with 60%, but they had double standards.
“You have also directed two movies. This theoretical knowledge has drifted away, so it can’t be justified. The department is also going to evaluate your merits, and you have to confirm your postgraduate placement in your junior year...”
"I won't talk about it if you stay on the set, but you asked for leave and went to Hengdian two days after you returned to school. It's better to cut it off first and then play it later. How do you want me to deal with this score now?"
...
I dealt with several teachers one after another, all of whom were older. Lin Nan was subdued throughout the whole process and kept saying the words one after another, thus escaping the fate.
It’s time again for thousands of troops to cross the single-plank bridge.
Big Beard here is still marketing the casting of "The Condor", and there are rumors about "The Best in the World" and "Little Fish Flowers" and they are about to start filming.
One is produced by Wang Jing and the other is directed by Wang Jing. This director is still a commercial film director with a good reputation.
Two days ago, "Sword and Sword" was finished filming, and Liu Yifei even sent photos.
As Lin Nan expected, the controversy over the casting of "The Condor" intensified. Zhou Xun clearly shouted for the last time to explain that she should not be used to hype her in the future.
Liu Yifei did not go back to school and even said she would come back to play with them. Lin Nan had already expected this result.
I don’t know which house I should stay in now, reading a book and playing with the cat.
The promotion of "Kekexili" has begun. Brother Lu is very good at crying scenes. He spoke to reporters in front of reporters about the hardships of filming and the crimes that occurred in "Kekexili".
The movie has a very positive outlook, and it is also the movie that Lu Chuan received the most praise for. Lin Nan must admit that movies with certain themes deserve respect from the moment they are set up.
The final exam is over. There is no summer vacation atmosphere in the school. It is almost the same as usual. There are still so many people, which is completely different from other universities.
The great work of scripts is still going on. Lin Nan sends one or two scripts almost every few days. By the way, he asks about the bestseller list, hoping to find familiar names.
Tom has helped him get the rights to adapt some novels.
In the United States, best-selling novels are a field, but the basis for whether they can be adapted into movies is not its popularity? ! Because many companies believe that not every best-selling book is "Harry Potter."
Lin Nan was looking at the best-seller list sent by Tom. All the copyrights were still in the hands of the author. He was confused for a time, "Twilight"?"
Tom is a businessman, but he also does things with money. A very responsible businessman, "This kind of vampire youth book, there are not a hundred but fifty books every year. I really don't recommend you to buy it, dear Lin."
After confirming the author's name, Lin Nan decisively bought it and asked for all the subsequent series.
For this reason, he asked for a loan, from Guang Guang. The company left half of the funds and sufficient daily expenses for Ning Hao in the company's accounts without any plans to touch it. The remaining production fees for "Return to Youth" have been used to buy the copyright.
Guang Guang was very happy for Lin Nan to borrow money and asked if it was enough.
When you borrow money once, you owe a favor and you will have to pay it back later.
"Enough is enough." Guang Guang was curious about what Lin Nan borrowed money for, but the latter remained tight-lipped.
"Lin, are you really sure you want me to buy it for you?"
"Sure, you need to go as soon as possible..."
The moment the matter is finalized , Lin Nan was lying on the bed in the dormitory, smiling unbridled. In Zhu Yawen's dormitory next door, two people came over, "Lin Zi, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just happy, hahaha..."
That afternoon, word spread in a small area that Lin Nan's confession was successful. The dormitory had fun all afternoon, and the laughter could be heard on the whole floor.
The next day, while walking in school, Lin Nan always felt like he was being pointed at, but he didn't take it seriously.
He ran into Huang Lei and said, "Oh, I haven't congratulated you on your happy wedding yet."
Old Huang was not greasy yet and had given Lin Nan several acting classes. Finally, Lin Nan Nan went to the directing department. It seems that this person got the certificate two months ago.
"You've said so much, where's the share money?"
"I didn't see you setting up a few tables for me, and you even asked school students for share money. Be careful, I will report you for openly asking for bribes."
Lin Nan joked.
