Chapter 114 Lu Chuan is looking for a fight
It will take some time to complete all the procedures.
This trip to Hollywood, Lin Nan’s most important thing is finally over.
The formalities, signatures, etc. are all done, and Tom and the lawyer are responsible for the finishing work.
As long as Liu Yifei finishes filming, the group can return to China together.
In the studio of New Line, Liu Yifei and several leading actors were taking pictures there, while Lin Nan was sitting on the edge chatting with Liu Xiaoli.
The person in charge of New Line came over to say hello, told Lin Nan that the filming work would be over soon, and congratulated him on the success of "Insidious".
"You're welcome, our "Journey to the Center of the Earth" will still be successful."
"Haha, yes, I wish our movie a big box office hit."
Liu Yifei walked over with light steps.
"Lin Nan, mom, it's over."
"Lin, Crystal, I hope we can work together again after this film."
"Thank you."
The person in charge of the new line walked towards the crowd on the other side.
"Sissi, aunt, let's go back to the hotel. We can book tickets." Lin Nan stood up and said.
"Okay, it's time to go back." Liu Xiaoli continued.
......
On the plane, Liu Xiaoli listened to her daughter talk about "Latent" and praised Lin Nan. She shook her head unconsciously, this girl.
After a flight of more than ten hours, it was morning again when we arrived in the capital.
There were already people waiting to pick them up at the airport, and Lin Nan and Liu Yifei separated as mother and daughter.
"Lin Nan, are you busy with something?" Liu Yifei asked.
"You girl, he must have a job." Mother Liu looked at her daughter.
“I have to go back to the company, there are a lot of things to do.”
“Okay, I’ll call you to come and play.”
“To play? I’m going to do it soon. You’re already working on your album, and you still want to have fun?”
Liu Xiaoli subconsciously lectured.
After watching Liu Yifei and her daughter get into the car and leave, Lin Nancai and his employees walked to the company's commercial vehicle.
......
"Director Lin, I have been receiving invitations to events these days..."
"I'm not here, what kind of event will I be attending? These people are really thieves..." ”
These organizers are also interesting. Even if they know that the person is not around, they will send you a post, and then add a sentence in the promotional copy to invite such and such.
“But you may have to consider this recent one.”
“Which one?”
“New Film Alliance’s, their 10th anniversary celebration.”
< br>Hearing this name, Lin Nan had to take it seriously. It was a company jointly established by China Film, Capital Film and dozens of theaters. No one in the film industry would refute its reputation.
"If I had known, I would have come back two days late." Lin Nan muttered.
After looking through the news these days, Lin Nan was convinced by the Tang Dynasty and arranged for Lao Hu to join the crew of "The Yang Family". He also took the time to participate in the awards ceremony of the Music Chart. This work arrangement is really full. , Shiquan beats workers.
At the Hong Kong Island Film Awards, Qin Hailu’s blog also caused a stir. Fans should stay close to the audience and remain superior. The Film Awards chose the latter.
Huayi held a special press conference. "Baby Project" and "The Night Banquet" were both aimed at the National Day Golden Week. It felt like their own films were dividing the market.
Lin Nan originally chose May Day for "Time Cruise", but the final result was that there were no other blockbusters in this schedule.
Han Sanping is very good. The distribution and exhibition company of China Film Group announced directly last week that "Mission: Impossible 3", which was originally scheduled to be released globally on May 5, has been postponed domestically.
"Level 1" and "The Da Vinci Code" are also scheduled for May 11 and May 17.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is arranged for Lin Nan's "Time Cruise".
"Although this arrangement may easily put me under pressure from public opinion, it feels really good."
Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh. .
However, "The Da Vinci Code" can be like "Journey to the Center of the Earth", and its domestic release time is synchronized with the world.
Capital Hotel, this is the venue for the 10th anniversary celebration of the New Film Alliance. It is less than a month before the release of "Time Cruiser". Lin Nan has to give the theater the face.
Lin Nan originally thought about driving there alone, but after being reminded by an employee, she realized that there would also be a red carpet and there would be many reporters, so it would look too casual.
Sure enough, when he arrived the next day, Lin Nan saw that the scale was no worse than a blockbuster premiere, with all the stars in the three fields of film, television and music present.
Both the culture and film bureaus are either the chief or the deputy. Director Yang of China Film and Television and the leaders of Radio and Television are also there.
Lin Nan followed the etiquette lady and walked in. There were familiar faces and unfamiliar faces. There were really many people, including many foreigners.
You can see the circle everywhere. The leaders gather around and talk and laugh. There are at most some film and television company bosses and big-name artists.
The rest of the stars are far away, each has its own circle, and only a handful of people can travel between different circles.
"Lin Nan, come here."
Lin Nan entered the room and couldn't avoid everyone's attention. Director Yang from China Film Group called out.
"Hello, Director Yang, hello leaders."
"I thought you couldn't catch up."
"Director Yang, don't tell me, I just came back yesterday. If it were a little later, I would say today Maybe he's still on the plane." Lin Nan replied with a smile. Han Sanping, the first deputy, didn't come today, but he changed his position, so he knew how important this celebration was.
After chatting with the leaders for a few words, Lin Nan got out of the way. The main topic of conversation was not suitable for Lin Nan to get involved in.
"Director Yang really takes good care of you, and even asked you to go over there and show your face."
Ning Hao was a little envious. All the actors and companies here came to see him.
"I only know Director Yang, and others can't tell the difference." Lin Nan said.
More people came to say hello, and they all knew that Lin Nan had just returned from New Line.
The performance on the stage began, and the singer worked very hard on such occasions.
"Director Lin."
Zhang Ziyi held the wine glass and said, "Congratulations on the sales of "Latent"."
"I only have a small share, but thank you anyway."
"Now that Director Lin has successfully collaborated with Lionsgate on two films, and the New Line film is about to be released, do you have any new plans for your future work in Hollywood?"
This time Lin Nan stayed there not long ago. The last time he stayed there for so long, he brought back a copy of "Journey to the Center of the Earth".
The singer's voice on the stage was not quiet, but many people still looked over after hearing what Zhang Ziyi just said.
"I really don't have any plans. This time I'm mainly going to talk about distribution, and I'm waiting for Lions Gate's box office data."
Lin Nan prevaricated.
"Everyone is waiting for Director Lin's new film over there. How many actors are eagerly looking forward to it..."
Zhang Ziyi's words are very nice.
When Liu Yifei got "Journey to the Center of the Earth", many people in the industry said that Lin Nan was unreliable.
“Then I still don’t know when to go? If I have the chance, I will tell everyone.”
“The relationship is good, and I will fight for it when the time comes, haha.”
What Zhang Ziyi wanted was Lin Nan's words, and the latter also knew her intentions.
This person is quite capable, he has won some awards, and is also involved in Hollywood. There are announcements and hype, but movies are a business after all, and it depends on the box office.
But she really has no movie box office that she can sell, and her current status is in jeopardy. After "Geisha", it is almost impossible to get good resources in the foreign market.
......
At dinner time, Lin Nan's table was a little interesting.
Ning Hao, Lin Nan, Zhang Ziyi, Ge You, as well as Lu Chuan, Wang Zhonglei, and people from the two theaters.
Across the table, Mr. Wang talked to Lin Nan about the latter's and Lionsgate's movies, "These two movies are really making a lot of money, dozens of times the profit."
Regarding this, Lin Nan could only agree with a smile. After all, it was a fact, and everyone agreed.
But who would have thought that Lu Chuan seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, so he suddenly said, "Great directors still have to make serious movies. The director of Lionsgate who makes horror movies, no matter how much he earns, he I can only hang out in this niche field, and I can't get on the stage or get a seat..."
This is really harsh. The script was provided by Lin Nan. This guy is filming Tibetan antelopes. Have you lost your mind?
Wang Zhonglei's face looked a little bad. Lu Chuan's words also slapped him in the face. He had just said that he was very envious.
Lu Chuan seemed not to be aware of the atmosphere on the table. He was still talking. Ge You couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed and coughed. He couldn't stop talking.
Lin Nan felt as if he had eaten a fly. If he didn't reply, it would be a joke if he went out today.
“It’s okay, at least no one came to trouble Director Wen Tsai-ren and me, saying that we plagiarized...”
As soon as Lin Nan said this, everyone at the table It was quiet, and Ning Hao was just like a spectator, even a little excited, almost handing him a watermelon.
"You, what do you mean?"
Lu Chuan's face was livid at the moment, and he squinted at Lin Nan.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and take a few bites..."
Wang Zhonglei also has a big head. After all, Lu Chuan is one of his own, but he is too stupid. He has been criticized by Jiang Wen before, and he can't win back. Call and complain.
Lin Nan ignored Wang Zhonglei's attempt to smooth things over.
"The meaning is very clear. Wasn't Director Lu accused at the end of last month? A documentary that someone else had shot since 1991, shot in ten years, is actually the same as your work in 2004. Why? If you can let him be the plaintiff, the plaintiff should be you? "
Lin Nan has no room for it. They are all young people. I am younger than you. It is okay to be angry.
"You, you're talking nonsense."
Lu Chuan couldn't find the words for a moment, and he didn't want to endure this tone. No one had spoken to him like this in the past two years.
“Nonsense?
The plot, concept, creativity, scene, scene atmosphere, visual background, shot composition, and even the dialogue are exactly the same!
Film School Pulling Film At that time, more than one student said this. Do you think everyone doesn’t watch the documentary?”
Lin Nan spoke loudly and said it to the top.
But this is also true. When the film was screened, almost all students in the directing department had this question: why Lu Chuan's "Kekexili" was almost exactly the same as the "Tibetan Antelope and Me" that they had watched before.
Lu Chuan gasped and stared at Lin Nan. He did not speak any more, but stood up and left the table.
"Here, why are we arguing over a meal, haha..."
Wang Zhonglei said this.
The rest of the people were still immersed in Lin Nan's words just now, and they only reacted now.
Fortunately, there are many people in the hall and it is noisy. Only our table and the tables next to us were paying attention just now, otherwise it would really be an accident.
"Lin Zi, you are so beautiful, I just think that guy looks like he is worth 25,800,000 yuan. If he picks a fight with me, I will also scold him."
Ning Hao said with a smile, Didn't care about other people's eyes.
