Chapter 100 Zhao Yanzi! Fellow disciple?
When Lin Nan left China Film Group, he took the movie list with him.
Generally, the scheduling and setting of imported films will be determined by the superiors. Many local works, especially excellent ones, can be taken care of. Lin Nan is a well-established and popular film.
I heard from Han Sanping that "The Promise" has been scheduled to be screened in Los Angeles. It is not a public screening, but arranged to be eligible to participate in the Oscar single award competition. The screening time is still unclear.
Lin Nan is very puzzled by their nonsensical operation. The Golden Globe nominee is a 102-minute version of the film, and the one that represents the mainland in the Oscar competition for Best Foreign Language Film is a 121-minute version. He really thinks those people at the Oscars are fools. ?
"The Palme d'Or is so good!" Lin Nan sighed with emotion.
Sitting in the car, Lin Nan heard on the radio that Yang Shi was going to give Chen Da a director's album, or two episodes.
The first episode mainly talks about the records before and after the premiere of "The Promise", and the second episode focuses on reviewing Chen Kaige's artistic creation and personal experience.
Lin Nan knew very well that with Chen Kaige's honor, it was nothing to block one movie. Even a few more movies would not shake his status.
I changed the radio channel. It was obviously an entertainment and gossip channel, but it talked about the postgraduate entrance examination...
Lin Nan's major is feature film directing, and she has to go through the formalities as soon as possible.
What made him a little uncomfortable was that he found that he was likely to be classmates with certain people.
This year Nortel has opened new admissions for the Master of Arts degree.
More than half a month ago, when Lin Nan was still preparing to finalize "Time Cruise" in Sanya, the first round of cultural examinations for Master of Arts admissions had already begun.
Zhao Yanzi and Huang Xiaoming were the first batch of candidates in the first year of the establishment of the Master of Arts in China.
"What a trap." Lin Nan was speechless.
Master of Arts graduates only have a degree certificate, unlike his traditional feature film directing major, which has both a diploma and a degree certificate.
"Looking at it this way, it is very possible that I am a fellow student with the surname Zhao?"
Tian Zhuangzhuang is now the head of the department and one of the two instructors in the feature film directing major. Listen Said that it has been confirmed that he will be one of the three tutors for the Master of Arts.
In Lin Nan’s memory, it seems that the person surnamed Zhao has indeed passed the postgraduate entrance examination, and is a master of art in directing.
"She is not as stupid as she played in "Returning the Pearl". She is a thief."
Lin Nan feels that it is better not to deal with this person in the future, and try to avoid it as much as possible.
The radio said that the reporter had learned from Assistant Huang Xiaoming that the other party had already passed the examination for the cultural major and was only waiting for the examination for the performance major.
After thinking about it, Lin Nan still made a phone call.
At this time, the set of "The Night Banquet" was taking an afternoon break. The female assistant took her mobile phone and hurried to the lounge.
"Xiao Ming, there's a phone number."
Huang Xiaoming was chatting with Zhou Xun and others when his assistant called him.
"Who is it? You actually called the crew?"
Huang Xiaoming is also very curious. Logically speaking, if you have business, you should contact the company or agent. He is on the crew, an acquaintance Everyone knows it.
"Hurry up and pick up, we will continue chatting later." Zhou Xun said with a rustling voice and a smile.
"It's only marked with the word "Lin."
As soon as the assistant spoke, Huang Xiaoming knew it.
“It’s so strange, I haven’t had a serious phone call with him yet, haha.”
Huang Xiaoming ended up calling and walked away.
"Congratulations, I saw you passed the first round of the Master of Arts exam." Lin Nan smiled and congratulated.
"Oh, I thought you had an appointment with me, but that's what happened.
That's right, I passed the first round and passed the professional exam. We can still be at the same level. , Director Lin. "
Huang Xiaoming is also very happy. The news just came out two days ago.
"I have nothing to do. I just heard it on the radio and called you to congratulate you." Lin Nan replied.
“Thank you very much, Director Lin, but you don’t know that for those 30 points of English, I hired a tutor several months in advance...”
Lin Nan got certain information from Huang Xiaoming. The tutor Zhao Yanzi applied for was really in the field!
“What are you really afraid of?”
Lin Nan felt that there was a high probability that the media would report that they were from the same sect in the future, and he felt helpless.
......
Back at school, Lin Nan saw some media gathered around the graduate school. The office area was not far away, but this time it was only the graduate school office area. There were so many people that the teacher on duty was blocked by a group of reporters.
"There is really no such thing as a holiday in this industry."
Lin Nan complained and walked away quickly.
Zhao Yanzi is so popular. So many media are chasing reports about a postgraduate entrance examination, and he is still holding on to it. He is very good at hyping it up.
Turn on the computer and Lin Nan was thinking about the release of "Time Cruiser". Although the movie is still in post-production, some things must be done in advance.
Lionsgate still has a contract with itself, and New Line is also a new partner, so it is difficult to choose.
After hesitating, Lin Nan still sent an email to Lionsgate. As the first company in Hollywood to contact him, and with a successful foundation for cooperation, Lin Nan was indeed more suitable than New Line.
Han Sanping pointed out something before. Lin Nan told New Line about the introduction of the film. Because it takes a while to produce, it was arranged for the second half of the year. Among the list of negotiations in the past two days, "The Center of the Earth" "Adventures", the specific time will be determined.
With the efforts of China Film and Shanghai Film Group Corporation, it is almost certain that this film will be introduced.
Lin Nan saw a piece of data and realized why Yinghuang was so anxious to talk to Han Sanping about the release of "Time Cruiser".
Last year, there were only nine fewer Chinese-language films produced on Hong Kong Island than the year before, but the total box office of these Chinese-language films was 40% less than the year before.
This data can be described as an avalanche.
“It’s about to begin!”
Lin Nan knew that Hong Kong movies were really going downhill, and an era was coming to an end.
From the moment it was decided to use Gao Yuanyuan as the third female lead in "Time Cruise", Lin Nan was prepared to be publicized.
The promotion of "Baby Project" really promoted Gao Yuanyuan's position.
You can rub against mine, and I can rub against yours, so why not.
With an investment of 130 million Hong Kong dollars and Jackie Chan's fame, Lin Nan was very willing for them to mention the name "Time Cruiser".
"Buzz buzz..."
Unexpectedly, the phone vibrated. "Hu Ge?"
Lin Nan was a little confused. What did he want to do with him?
As soon as the connection was connected, I heard a brief noise on the other side, and it became quiet instantly.
"Old Hu?"
"Lin Nan, Director Lin, are you here these two days? Haha."
"At school, what's wrong?" Lin Nan asked.
"I'm promoting a new drama and I'm staying in the capital for two days. Do you want to come out and have a party?"
"New drama?"
Lin Nan didn't know what kind of drama it was.
"Okay, let's get together. Last time I went to the Magic City, you hosted me. This time it's me."
"By the way, I'll send you your hotel address later."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan searched for it and found out that it was "Flying Immortals".
......
"Ah! Did you really ask him out?"
A round-faced girl looked at Hu Ge and couldn't believe it. Logically speaking, this A great director with such a status shouldn't be so easy to talk to?
"I told you, we are friends, and I will introduce you to each other if I have the opportunity."
Hu Ge said in a grand manner.
"Then, can I come with you?" the girl asked expectantly.
"Yes, no problem."
Lin Nan could imagine how angry Chen Kaige was at this time. The results of the annual bad film selection on Hong Kong Island, which is entirely based on audience voting, have come out. .
"The Promise" was rated as the first of the four worst movies!
After sending a few emails to Tom, Lin Nan left the dormitory.
His "Time Cruiser" was selected into the list of movies to look forward to in 2006, and I suddenly felt much happier.
"Sister Xue, have those reporters left?"
Lin Nan asked, looking at Xue Xiaolu who was coming towards her.
"Let's go. We are the only ones who are familiar with each other. Other students don't call me sister. Besides, about your directing graduate school, if you ask me from the literature department, you won't go and see it yourself."
< br>Xue Xiaolu laughed and joked that she had helped polish Lin Nan's first script, so she had been an acquaintance for a long time.
“If I go, I will probably be surrounded by reporters asking questions.”
“Come on, if you have anything to do, leave quickly, those reporters will be gone by now.”
“Okay, I won’t bother you anymore.”
Lin Nan said goodbye with a smile. This senior and teacher in the literature department is a powerful screenwriter. Sooner or later, he will have to embark on the path of director. There is no harm in establishing a good relationship in advance.
The drama "Flying Fairies" is about to premiere, but for the second round of promotion, the crew is also promoting the show in many cities.
The black Mercedes-Benz was parked outside the hotel, and Lin Nan made a phone call and went out.
After a while, a man and a woman came out. The woman was not bad, she only wore burgundy sunglasses and a baby face, which looked quite suitable, but the man was wrapped a little tightly.
“Here!” Lin Nan recognized Hu Ge and shouted through the car window.
Hu Ge got into the passenger seat and the girl went to the back.
"Let me introduce you to my new drama partner, Lin Yichen, who has helped me a lot."
"Hello, Director Lin."
The woman took the initiative to say hello.
“Hello.”
"At this point, let's go have afternoon tea. Following the habit of a Shanghainese like you, how about treating you to dinner in the evening?"
Lin Nan told her arrangement.
“Listen to the boss.”
……
The towering building, looking at the scenery outside through the glass is a different feeling, in the small private room , the three ordered some snacks.
"I'm very grateful to her. She taught me what a real actor is..."
"Haha, is it as exaggerated as you said?" the girl asked with a smile.
Lin Nan felt a little redundant.
While Lin Yichen was going to the bathroom, Lin Nan said more, "Don't you fall in love with her?"
Hu Ge looked stunned, " How is it possible? I like it, but I didn’t say it.”
Lin Nan decisively grasped the key words, "That's good, I misunderstood, but I'm curious who you are talking about?"
Faced with Lin Nan's gossipy question, Hu Ge smiled. answer.
“I’m taking the time to hang out with you today. Tomorrow I’ll be promoting Feishan City.
My schedule is extremely full this year. After finishing the promotion, I still have urban dramas to shoot and other dramas. The promotion is about to start, and the company has also obtained the rights to remake "The Condor". In the second half of the year, I will join the cast again, and I will play Guo Jing..."
Hu Ge kept complaining, but there was always a sense in it. Satisfaction.
...
"Why did I call you Liu Yifei instead of Liu Yifei? Let's forget it. When I was on the set of "Sword and Fairy", I tricked her into saying that I was in my late thirties and asked her to call me Uncle Hu, haha... "
Lin Nan also heard Liu Yifei say about this later. Hu Ge was indeed quite dishonest at that time. It was too damaging.
