Chapter 78 Thesis, Human Relations
Compared to the acting department, the directing department is really thin.
"You can choose or draft your own and submit it to me. This is the main thing today. We have few people. We can get it done on the same day, so don't delay."
"Lin Nan, you can do it. Draw up your own.”
Everyone looked over at the teacher’s words, but quickly withdrew their gaze and continued to look at the questions given by the school.
If you can make your own, the difficulty requirements will only be higher.
“You just told me to draw up my own.”
Lin Nan was mentally prepared for the questions given by the department. As long as you have been in a few film crews, you can actually follow them step by step. The play is basically no big problem.
This is indeed a bit simple for Lin Nan.
“This is what you said.”
The teacher smiled like a fox.
"Just think of me."
The students around me laughed.
"How can you say that? It's because the department values you."
Without continuing the topic, Lin Nan looked at the form in front of his desk and picked up the pen to fill it out. .
From name and student number to professional grade, and finally the key thesis title and direction.
Title: "On the Director's Creativity and the Film Market."
Direction:...
Lin Nan is very satisfied with this topic because Liu Yifei had drafted it a long time ago Lin Nan picked up her topic and kept waiting to submit it, and Lin Nan happened to know her topic.
Other students were still hesitating about whether to change or which one would be easier. Lin Nan had already stood up and came to the teacher.
"What do you think of this? If it works, that's it."
"Let me see."
The teacher took the form from Lin Nan's hand and started reading it.
After a while, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
"Well, that's right. It's geared towards the audience, business and market. I thought you would start from the perspective of film art and realistic themes. After all, your award is not from a commercial film."
"Then do you think it will work?"
"Yes, of course it will work."
The teacher smiled and put the form into his folder.
“Then, can I leave now?”
Lin Nan smiled.
"Go on, go on. I know you are going to the performance department, so hurry up."
Lin Nan just came over there, and he saw it.
"Okay, then I will withdraw first. Goodbye, everyone."
The teacher looked at the people below and dropped his smile, "Hurry up, we'll leave when it's done. , do whatever you want.”
……
Zhu Yawen reluctantly drew up her own topic, but her boss did not agree with the topic she chose.
"You learned from Yifei. No one else mentioned choosing a topic. What you gave me directly was your own. You have also acted in a few movies, and you will join Lin Nan's group next. Are you embarrassed to pick something simple? And..."
Teacher Zhou sprayed Zhu Yawen with a gun and a stick, and the other twenty or so people who came today covered their mouths and laughed.
Lin Nan slipped in from the back door to watch the fun, and happened to see Lao Zhou quarreling with Xiao Zhu. The scene was really interesting.
Some people from the performance department suggested having lunch. It was rare for everyone to see so many students, two-thirds of them.
Lin Nan was called to come together, but Teacher Zhou refused. She felt that it was only when the students were together that they could relax, but it would not be beautiful if they went alone.
I found a higher-end hotel with a large private room. So many people had to sit at three tables.
Luo Jinsiwen, chatting with Zhu Yawen about his audition for a TV series, Lin Nan listened to Zhou Yang talking about the company she signed, and Jiang Yiyan interjected a few words from time to time.
Most of the students have made do with their development, but they must have participated in the filming of a TV series. The most successful people in this class now are Liu Yifei and Zhu Yawen, and Lin Nan is from the directing department.
Originally, I thought that at the dinner table, all we talked about was interesting things about work, school time, and acting dreams.
It wasn't until many people came to Lin Nan's table with drinks that he realized that the taste had changed before he knew it.
Even Luo Jin, who looked like a scholar, had a drink. Fortunately, there were no words that came out of his mouth like others.
Everyone got together while choosing a thesis topic, and after that, it was just like graduation.
Walking on campus, Zhu Yawen was still mumbling, "I knew it would turn out like this sooner or later, but when I really looked at my former classmates, speaking carefully and trying to please in front of you, I still felt a little bit accepting in my heart. No. "
Maybe in other universities, this situation will be much rarer, or it will be delayed for a long time, but in this industry, it is a normal phenomenon, and people are influenced by the environment.
Brokerage companies and agents will also teach you what to say to whomever you meet, and how to make reasonable use of your own relationships and resources.
“Just get used to it. I guess a lot of the newcomers signed by Wang Jinghua are nice to talk to you, right?”
Lin Nan said in a low voice without looking at Zhu Yawen. Finished sentence.
“Huh?”
“That seems to be the case, but there is still a bit of a rift between classmates...”
The National Day is coming, and "Myth" is still the only one, and some other films are just leftovers.
In the next three months, no movie with a little ambition dared to enter easily.
The project of "The Night Banquet" is a reflection of Hua Yi and Feng Xiaogang's ambitions. There have been "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" before, and more recently "The Promise" by Chen Kaige.
"The Night Banquet" is the film that Feng Xiaogang uses to compete with Zhang and Chen. Although the awards are not as good as those two, director Feng will not admit defeat due to his experience in commercial films.
Isn't it a big production? "The Night Banquet" is Feng Xiaogang's test of the waters, and the level of attention is definitely not low.
Huayidu plans to have a more grand opening ceremony.
At Liu Yifei’s birthday party, they invited Lin Nan to visit the class, which was actually the start-up ceremony. President Xiao Wang invited him at the dinner table, and Huang Xiaoming also supported him.
No, the phone call came again, made by two people in person.
During the National Day, it is really hard to shirk it. Huang Xiaoming also invited Liu Yifei, but Miss Liu couldn't leave. The remaining songs are being recorded. This kind of thing cannot be done one song a day. At the previous Shanghai Film Festival, Wang Zhonglei revealed that the production cost would start at US$15 million, and the final figure was finally revealed to the outside world.
The production cost of "The Night Banquet" was US$20 million, and Huayi was responsible for the financing!
Feng Xiaogang has become the third most expensive director in China after Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.
The startup ceremony does not mean that the camera will be turned on immediately. The ceremony was held in Xiaotangshan, which is the largest studio for "The Night Banquet".
Lin Nan was invited to attend the opening ceremony as a guest.
Maybe it is really influenced by Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. In the past two years, many companies and directors want to make big-budget or costume epic films.
Hua Yi is also very ambitious. Not only is he a wholly-owned producer of "The Night Banquet", he is also the producer of "Ink Attack", which has been launched for several days.
Liu Tianwang stars, and Fan Bingbing is also included. No wonder the latter was so calm when he came to audition with Lin Nan, and his relationship was already guaranteed for a movie.
The opening ceremony of "The Night Banquet" was very grand, and the cost of 20 million US dollars was one of the best in the country.
A billboard ten meters long and several meters high stands there: the opening ceremony of "The Night Banquet"! There are also the names, roles, etc. of each main creator.
Lin Nan came with a subordinate from the company this time.
Huayi Family has a great cause, and the scene was also crowded.
"Director Lin, you are most welcome, please come with me."
A girl in a cheongsam said enthusiastically, leading Lin Nan inside.
The receptionist at the scene was a young girl named Yishui. She had a strong business atmosphere, which Huayi always had.
Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei scolded Fang Qiu and joked with a group of producers.
The king was chatting with a few foreigners there.
“Director Lin.”
Huang Xiaoming, in a neat suit, greeted from a distance.
“I’m here for your sake.”
Lin Nan smiled and hugged Huang Xiaoming.
"Yifei asked you to come along on her behalf." Huang Xiaoming said with a smile.
"Haha, I can't hide it from you. She has always been very grateful to you for helping her." Lin Nan looked at Huang Xiaoming.
"Oh, I still remember, I almost forgot, in that situation, anyone would take action."
At this time, the leader Huang said sincerely.
“Come on, let’s go over there, they are all over there.” Huang Xiaoming said proactively.
Perhaps starting from this movie, Huang Xiaoming and Hua Yi began to get together.
To be honest, Lin Nan came not because of Wang Zhonglei’s call, but because of Huang Xiaoming, Liu Yifei’s savior.
Wang Zhonglei waved to Lin Nan from afar, and the latter waved with a smile.
"Teacher Ge You."
"Yeah, it's Director Xiao Lin. We haven't seen each other for a long time. The last time was during the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers."
Ge You was very humorous. He imitated Lin Nan's speech and advertised the movie he was starring in.
"Haha, do you still remember?"
"No, what actor would forget such a young great director, Xiao Ming, don't you think so?"
" Yes." Huang Xiaoming was very cooperative.
……
Many people say that Zhou Xun is very talented, but he only has two shortcomings: height and voice.
Today was the first time Lin Nan saw a real person face to face.
Looking cool in casual clothes, with short shoulder-length hair, and a very delicate appearance, after all, she is only thirty-one.
"Director Lin, please meet me, I am Zhou Xun."
The rustling voice revealed a special magnetism.
"Hello, Sister Xun, I'm Lin Nan."
The two shook hands and let go.
Zilaishu has a very good personality. She smiled generously and said, "If you have any suitable books in the future, remember to ask my sister."
A few people suddenly laughed, Huang Xiaoming said : "Sister Xun, you are so direct."
Lin Nan nodded seriously, "Definitely, I am looking forward to cooperating with Sister Xun, if there is a chance."
"I remember what you said, please bear witness."
Zhou Xun smiled at the people around him.
"Lin Nan..."
Zhang Ziyi came over. She is the heroine of this drama, and Zhou Xun is the second heroine.
I heard that it took a lot of effort for Hua Yi to invite her. After all, she is now moving smoothly in Hollywood.
"I haven't thanked you yet."
This sentence made Lin Nan confused, and the people around him were also confused! It seems that there is no cooperation between these two people?
“How do you say this?”
“Thank you for giving the male and female lead of "Time Cruiser" to Zeng Li and Minghao. We are very good classmates, and Li Zi is mine too. Best friend."
Looking at the sincere smile on Zhang Ziyi's face, Lin Nan almost believed it. The relationship can only be said to be a normal classmate relationship, right? Nothing compares to the friendship between those few.
Lin Nan has always liked the two actresses Zhang Yimou is famous for, Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi. Lin Nan has always liked the former, who has a soft appearance, while the latter has a face that is too utilitarian, and so is her acting style.
“What did I think was going on? The acting skills of Senior Sister Zeng Li and Senior Brother Chen are incredible. Their tacit understanding during the audition was very good. It looked like they had worked together many times. I guess they were in school. , there is no shortage of scenes."
Lin Nan said without any unnecessary emotion, and the smile on Zhang Ziyi's face stopped for a moment.
