Chapter 79: Golden Rooster, Climb for Austria
Zhang Ziyi chatted for a few words, then excused himself and walked away.
At the opening ceremony, Mr. Huayi Xiaowang and other creatives were at it, introducing the movie that was about to be launched.
The martial arts instructor is the famous Yuan Heping. He was standing next to Feng Xiaogang. The latter did not have any airs, but happily gave up his position.
“Thank you to all the guests for participating in the opening ceremony of "The Night Banquet". In this drama, Huayi invested 20 million US dollars. This was increased later to tell the outside world that Huayi is a big company. , there will be no operational problems due to trivial matters
Director Feng Xiaogang is a director that Huayi has worked with for many years and is an experienced director of commercial films. We also have great confidence in "The Banquet". It will be the "Hamlet" of the mainland. ”
This is the first time Hua Yi has publicly admitted that this play is adapted from "Hamlet".
Reporters have asked several times before, but neither Hua Yi nor Feng Xiaogang answered directly. I didn't expect to admit it at the opening ceremony.
This suddenly raised the style of the movie to the level of Shakespeare. I believe the media has another article to write about it.
Lin Nan was surprised. The general manager actually mentioned Wang Jinghua's incident, which shows that he holds a grudge in his heart
The power-on ceremony was not interesting, as Huayi kept blowing on it and showing off his strength and muscles.
The media members carefully photographed the dozen or so people above and the guests below. Lin Nan saw many cameras passing in front of him.
Among the main creative actors, Zhang Ziyi is obviously the highlight. At this moment, reporters are already asking her about "Geisha". Hua Yi does not stop her, obviously she wants to use it to make some hype. This is why she hired Zhang Ziyi at no cost to the film. It's a good reason.
After the interview ended, Lin Nan received a business card from Zhou Xun.
"I forgot to give it to you just now. If you find a suitable script in the future, remember to contact me. Although I am more picky about scripts, as long as I accept it, I will definitely perform it to your satisfaction."
After saying that, Zhou Xun smiled and walked away.
Celebrities with this kind of personality are really rare. Lin Nan looked at the business card in his hand and pretended.
The girl named Xu above seems to be from Nortel. She is a sophomore. Lin Nan has no impression. I can only say that it is good luck. She actually joined the crew of "The Night Banquet". Another glorious resume.
“Let’s go back.”
Lin Nan said to his employee and driver.
The most important part of this start-up ceremony is over, and the human relations are in place. There is no need to stay any longer.
“Are you leaving?”
Not far from the crowd, Huang Xiaoming caught up with him.
"Yes, I also have a company, and I have been preparing for the pre-production of the movie these past two days."
Lin Nan is not an excuse, it is indeed the case, "Time and Space Cruiser" 》Preliminary preparations are in progress so that Golden Rooster can join the set and start filming immediately.
"Then I'll give it to you."
Lin Nan was very puzzled, why would Huang Xiaoming give it to you?
As if seeing Lin Nan's doubts, Huang Xiaoming smiled.
"Just because I have a relationship with you, when I have the opportunity to make your movie in the future, the actor still has to go to the big screen, right?"
"Is it so direct?"< br>
"Haha, there's no point in beating around the bush, isn't it."
Huang Xiaoming smiled heartily.
“I used to envy Yan Zi. She is already a movie queen. Later, Dan Chen also acted in "Return to Youth". Now I have to be in your "Time Cruise". I have just started to get involved with big screen movies. "Why don't we have a good relationship with a great director like you?"
Lin Nan really likes this kind of atmosphere of talking about things, which is much better than beating around the bush.
"I'm afraid Zhou Xun's words just inspired you, right?" Lin Nan guessed.
"You were right."
Huang Xiaoming readily admitted.
“As I said before, if there is a suitable opportunity, let’s talk about it.”
Lin Nan habitually left a step for himself.
"Well, that's enough. If "The Banquet" is released and my reputation is good, I might try to change companies..."
"Developing to the big screen?"
"Yes!"
The two waved goodbye.
Lin Nan could imagine that Hua Yi might be interested in Huang Xiaoming. After all, this is a young man who has been featured in several TV series. "The Condor" will also be broadcast next year.
……
"Director Lin, the local registration in Sanya has been passed, the marine rescue agency found for the live shooting has been contacted, and the contract has been signed..."
"Well, okay."
10 At the beginning of the month, both the entertainment and entertainment circles were very restless.
The popular Super Girl is going to hold a concert in Shanghai, and the top three will appear. Mango Tianyu is going to make a lot of money. In the past few months, there has been news about Super Girl everywhere. For the first time, people in the industry After witnessing the fanaticism of the fans, it turns out that the draft can also be held in China.
It is said that "The Legend of the Gods" will be remade, and the casting of Daji has attracted much attention. Popular and good-looking actresses have not been spared.
Ziwei Gege offended Director Tang Jili because when she went to the premiere there, the former was seriously late. Director Tang had a black face throughout the whole process, no communication or cover-up, and it was as if the previous scandal was nothing.
Korea sent an invitation to Lin Nan through China Film Festival some time ago, for the Busan Film Festival.
In recent years, Korean films have been on the rise, and the status of the Busan Film Festival has also continued to rise. Its popularity is close to that of Asia's established film festivals, the Tokyo International Film Festival.
Ten domestic films accepted the invitation and participated in the competition in the past, including two films that competed in Venice this year.
"Myth" is the most popular because the heroine is Kim Hee Sun, a Korean. Not only Jackie Chan will be present, but major directors such as Jia Zhangke and Wang Xiaoshuai will also appear in some film sections.
Lin Nan looked at the movie news and originally thought that without the interference of domestic movies, "The Myth" would take all, but who knew that a "Fantastic Four" would be included.
Marvel's comic adaptation of the same name is very famous in Hollywood. Fortunately, "Myth" has been released for a week, otherwise there may be problems. Even so, "Myth" is barely resisting.
Not to mention "Song of Everlasting Regret", the box office was completely caught between the two blockbusters.
A piece of news cheered up Lin Nan. Director Chen wanted "The Promise" to compete for Oscars, not the one from Hong Kong, but the one from the United States.
In order to qualify for the competition, according to the regulations there, he had an emergency screening of the film in the Land of Abundance, just to get a ride on next year's Oscars.
“What a wonder!”
The Curse. In China, directors, film and television practitioners, audiences, and officials all have a kind of obsession with the Oscars. yearn for.
It has been fifteen years since "Ju Dou" in 1990, when Zhang Yimou was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" was nominated once and Zhang Yimou three times.
The only person to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is Chinese director Li An.
I went to Chengdu with Chen Kaige, and those who attended the screening were all critics, mostly film critics.
These critics have promoted and praised it all the way. In addition to the previous four failures, several serious professors are unanimously optimistic that "The Promise" will win the Olympics.
Director Chen is very confident. "Farewell My Concubine" has just been named one of the 100 greatest films in human history by Time.
“The mouth of a film critic is a liar.”
Lin Nan muttered something.
The film industry always has a high-spirited attitude and is far less down-to-earth than the TV drama industry.
"Happiness Like Flowers" will compete with "Beijing Smoke and Clouds". Yin Tao, Sun Li, Deng Chao will compete with Zhao Yanzi for ratings, and the audience is looking forward to it.
Liu Tianwang took time out from the crew of "Ink Attack" to attend the meeting of "I Love You Again", which will be released later this month. Lin Nan was not impressed by the box office of this movie.
The big drama "Yun Shui Yao" co-produced by China Film and Ying Huang was recently announced. The starring role is Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming's classmate and one of the Three Musketeers.
Lin Nan also saw the figure of Li Bingbing, who couldn't be the leading female lead in commercial films, so she tried to be the second female lead in award-winning films. This woman was very thoughtful.
As for the first female lead, she is from Wandao, one of the three producers.
Sliding the mouse, Lin Nan flipped through the news. As an industry insider, he understood that many written news may have been polished. What readers see has been polished and processed many times. The manuscripts are not just entertainment and gossip.
I can’t tell whether he has been reborn once in the past few years or whether he had a dream before, but it is undeniable that he has succeeded so far.
There was a knock on the door, and the treasurer came in with a list.
"Director Lin, this is part of the expenses. Before the crew starts filming, the advance payment for the cruise ship, as well as the deposit for the prop team and external team..."
Lin Nan took it, took a look, and signed immediately .
"Let people keep an eye on it."
"Okay, Director Lin."
Wang Changtian asked Lin Nan to come to the platform for a host selection competition today. A letter from the organizer was officially sent.
"Mr. Wang, I received the invitation letter. Is it necessary to be so formal?"
"Be more solemn. It won't be long, so I'll tell you again. I'll have those two days free. Don't Don't let me go, haha."
"I'm not that kind of person. Since I agreed, I will definitely get over it. Don't worry."
In two days, Golden Rooster. The shortlist was announced.
There are six nominees for Best Actor, and Li Baotian is one of them for his performance in "Into the Dust".
There are five nominees for Best Actress, including Jiang Wenli.
There are six nominees for Best Director, including Lin Nan and Ning Hao.
Both novels are also in the Best Screenplay and Best Feature Film categories.
Berlin’s awards have finally affected the Golden Rooster. Among the Best Director nominees, Lin Nan is the youngest one and the most eye-catching because the film he nominated has been recognized by the Berlin Film Festival. .
Ning Hao’s call came not long after, “Brother, I have been nominated.”
Ning Hao's excitement could be heard on the phone.
"Congratulations!" Lin Nan said.
Hearing this, Ning Hao calmed down a bit, "It's okay if I can be nominated. I don't expect to win this award. There is also your "Into the Dust" and Lu Chuan's "Kekexili" is also a strong rival. "
Ning Hao is right. Last year's Golden Horse Best Film, the Tokyo Film Festival Jury Prize, is a strong rival.
“Why are you thinking so much? You’ll find out when the time comes, and you won’t know who will win!”
Lin Nanan smiled and comforted.
"Stone" has been nominated for several nominations, which has exceeded Lin Nan and Ning Hao's expectations. Did the old man of Golden Rooster change his temper this time?
Third update.
