Chapter 104: Get rid of Zhao Yanzi?
The media’s sense of smell is always so sensitive.
The next day, news about the cooperation between CJ and Lin Nan spread.
“You didn’t say what kind of movie it is?”
“It seems to be a gangster movie or something.”
Most people in the industry stopped caring when they heard it was a movie similar to "Infernal Affairs". The box office of such movies generally does not make much money in China.
When he arrived at the company the next day, Lin Nan left this matter to the finance team to keep an eye on.
“We may have to move the company this year.” Lin Nan said.
Everyone became curious instantly.
“Director Lin, where are you moving to?”
"It's not decided yet, but I plan to expand my business scope in the middle of the year. I will definitely expand my staff by then. This place is not suitable now.
Lin Nan simply talked it over with the employees.< br>
“What businesses do we want to add? "
"There should be a TV series produced, right? ”
Once we started talking about it, we couldn’t stop.
Lin Nan entered the office alone. It would be good to tell everyone about this in advance. As for spreading it, it doesn't matter. It will happen sooner or later.
Lin Nan made a lot of money from the split of "Dead Silence". Including the investment amount from Huayi and Wanda sold at a premium, he said that the investment in "Journey to the Center of the Earth" was only 160. Thousands of dollars of knives.
Coupled with the money he has earned from movies in the past few years, apart from the expenditure on buying stocks and copyrights, he is really quite wealthy.
In 2006, the Olympics are getting closer and closer, and it is certain that land prices in the capital will rise.
Lin Nan feels that it is necessary to buy a property as a new company office address. There is no need for a CBD location, and it is not based on the facade to make money. It is best to be near several art schools, which is affordable and convenient. .
......
Liu Yifei called Lin Nan and told Lin Nan that she and Shu Chang went to see the show, and they were specially packed tightly.
“The drama version of "The Stone" they adapted is very good, and the other dramas are also comedies. Advocate is entertaining from beginning to end, but he is confused. At the moment, he is still cowering on the sofa, not daring to move. , Haha..."
"Sissi, you said bad things about me again..."
You can hear Shu Chang's complaints through the phone.
"Okay, okay, you go ahead, I'll hang up, bye."
Liu Yifei said to Lin Nan while provoking Shu Chang, and the sound of fighting came from the microphone.
“Well, okay, hang up.”
Lin Nan said softly.
When it comes to Shu Chang, Lin Nan feels like she doesn’t know what to say about her. She said she wanted to study before and had a falling out with her agent. Recently, she was accepted into a youth idol drama without anyone noticing.
"It really comes out as soon as I think about it."
Lin Nan has no impression of this TV series. There is no agent to check it, so it is probably another drama that will hit the market.
The directing department contacted Lin Nan. This was the first time that they approached him in the name of the department.
"There will be a professional exam for the Master of Arts on the 14th, which is an interview. Come and take part together."
This is much more exciting than letting Lin Nan take the art exam.
"I'm only a senior in college. Isn't it appropriate to go for an interview?"
Lin Nan felt that it was too childish for them to say that they had a good reputation in the art exam before and now they were allowed to take it again.
Although it is a Master of Arts degree without a diploma, it is still a Master's degree.
"The leadership of the Graduate Department agreed, and Director Tian Zhuangzhuang also thinks you are qualified."
Teacher Jiang said without raising his eyes.
Seeing Lin Nan's silence, Lao Jiang raised his head and said, "Wouldn't it be interesting for you to choose a sectmate for yourself?"
One word woke up the dreamer!
Lin Nan's mind jumped at this moment, "Get rid of Zhao Yanzi?"
This idea shocked Lin Nan, but he just couldn't get rid of the idea.
"Okay, I'll do it." Lin Nan said firmly.
"Yes, I will apply for it, and I will notify you later."
Old Jiang smiled happily. Since Lin Nan switched to directing, in the past three years, he has not been stuck in the evaluation of professional titles. It won't be long. , he can also lead graduate students.
Leaving the Office of the Director Department, Lin Nan suddenly realized that he had taken it for granted just now.
“Oh, my brain is down, how can I think of these things?”
Lin Nan simply ran to Tian Zhuangzhuang’s office.
"Teacher."
"Sit down. Did Xiao Jiang tell you?"
"Yes, it was a bit sudden." Lin Nan replied.
"There are 20 places, ten for the feature film major, and you have already taken one, four for the documentary major, and six for the master of arts. This is the number of admissions to the Graduate School of Directing this year."
Tian Zhuangxing said it calmly and without any intention of keeping it secret.
"If it's a feature film major or a documentary major, even if you have the ability and are a great director, I won't let you come to avoid suspicion.
But that's a different matter for a master's degree in art. You are fully qualified to come. ”
Tian Zhuangzhuang established a chain of discrimination in just two sentences.
“Originally I was not willing to take a Master of Arts degree, as this thing is too watery and too fake. But this is the first year after all, and the school is a pilot unit, so there is no way to avoid it.”
“That’s it, there were people who came through the back door to build relationships before.”
Tian Zhuangzhuang said the last sentence angrily. Lin Nan felt a little guilty at this moment. He couldn't have called him here to do dirty work.
Tian Zhuangxang raised his head and looked at Lin Nan with a smile, "When the time comes, you will be stricter and do whatever you need to do."
"Haha, teacher, you are doing this You asked me to take the blame.”
“That’s so straightforward, hahaha.” Tian Zhuangzhuang didn’t say otherwise.
Lin Nan now felt confident.
......
The director of "King Kong" is also the director of "Lord of the Rings".
On the road to industrialization of film, Hollywood blockbusters are riding high.
The current domestic film production is still in the small workshop mode, unable to produce blockbusters and large special effects, or the production cycle is very long and the organizational structure is bloated.
Liu Yifei was going to see "King Kong", and Lin Nan could only accompany her.
There was a media screening of "King Kong" before. Huaxia Film Company sent an invitation to Lin Nan, but when the Showbox people arrived that day, Lin Nan stuffed the invitation and threw it to the company. I don't know who went in the end. , anyway, I heard that he was the one chosen by lot.
The theater was dark, and Liu Yifei was wearing ordinary clothes, so she didn’t have to worry too much about being recognized.
The media said before that this was a movie for women, but Lin Nan believed it now.
Women are more emotional, and most of the ones wiping tears are girls.
A gorilla's persistence in feelings moved many female viewers.
Liu Yifei was okay, leaning on Lin Nan's shoulder, just lamenting why this orangutan was put to death and exterminated when it was clear that it had not messed with humans.
“Perhaps this is an extreme manifestation of the cowardice and selfishness of human beings. Doesn’t director Peter Jackson like this?”
Lin Nan felt that this great director’s filming of "The Lord of the Rings" was He was addicted to writing masterpieces. He also worked on "King Kong" for more than three hours, and his shoulders were a little sore at the moment.
“But the special effects are so shocking. There seem to be very few movies like this in China.”
Liu Yifei said, "I don't know when it will be filmed."
"Even if we have to go over there to secretly teach, it would be difficult for us to do it ourselves. The talent, equipment, and technology are all too far apart. "
Lin Nan thought for a while and said.
......
When I was watching a movie with Liu Yifei yesterday, the second round of competition for the Olympic chief director was held in Kuangou.
This time, I didn’t specifically mention the confidentiality issue, because the results had already spread within a small area.
Except for the director team of Evans, the other four teams all won first place in a certain category, but Zhang Yimou was even better, ranking first in the total score of 22 categories.
Although the official letter of appointment has not yet been issued, the results are already obvious.
"Director Zhang is so awesome. The defeat in Athens didn't even knock him down, and he suddenly got the position of chief director in 2008."
"Only Yimou has the ability and strength. , completing a world-class event like the Olympic opening ceremony, just like he opened the prelude to a domestic blockbuster..."
Zhang Weiping's confidence comes from Zhang Yimou. Everyone in the industry knows this, but not many people like him. He is too arrogant and domineering.
Taking some free time, Lin Nan also congratulated Jiang Wenli for being such a great guide that he announced to the public that his wife was pregnant again.
"Are you almost fifty? What do you eat every day?"
Ning Hao couldn't help but sigh.
"How about I ask you? I'm not familiar with Director Gu, but I can talk to Sister Wen Li. It should be no problem to ask Director Gu about her health recipes."< br>
Lin Nan joked.
Ning Hao's face darkened instantly, but Xing Aina was a little moved.
“Actually, it’s good to ask, as for health preservation, it’s better to do it as early as possible.”
Xing Aina patted Ning Hao as he spoke.
“What did you say?”
Ning Hao was speechless.
"I heard that you sold a script to Bangzi?"
Ning Hao changed the topic at the right time and continued the conversation. He was a married man who was embarrassed.
"Yes, this script was written based on the environment there. It is much darker than "Infernal Affairs", so it can be filmed without restraint."
The original "Infernal Affairs" "The introduction to the Mainland has also been reviewed and considered for a long time. If a Mainland director made it himself, he would definitely not be allowed to do it, let alone something like "The New World".
"I just like this kind of book, the analysis of human nature, good and evil, black and white, social contradictions..."
Ning Hao then started to talk about his old habits again.
"Come on, if you do this in the future, the higher ups will teach you how to behave."
Lin Nan reminded.
“Just teach me and wait until they teach me.”
Ning Hao looked indifferent, and Xing Ai seemed to agree with this.
The topic changed and we talked about Li An's "Broken Wall Mountain" again.
Ning Hao didn't know where he got the disc from, and said with a sigh on his face: "I watched it again in the company. From the director's point of view, it was very good. This kind of film is only available outside. Shoot, it is estimated that he has a very high chance of winning the award this time."
"Nonsense, he has swept so many pre-award awards, and there is support from special groups..."
Lin Nan said. I won’t go on anymore. When the film was being filmed during the school period, I had already informed the directing students in advance that it was only for study purposes, so don’t get distracted.
Many students went to see it, but Lin Nan didn't go anyway. Later I heard that some students felt very uncomfortable after watching it.
They are all young people. Some of them watch movies only for the filming techniques, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not know the plot. The great director has a strong ability to contagion, and then if he puts himself into it, it will be disgusting...
