Chapter 118 Graduation, Red Carpet Speech
Yue Jun reported to Lin Nan that the filming of "Soldier Assault" is nearing completion.
"Director Kang Honglei is expected to finish filming this month. The funds are also reserved for post-production."
"Then you can follow along. The post-production is almost done. I will go and watch it. "
"Director Kang would like to suggest that you contact the TV station in advance, because this kind of military theme is not a popular one..."
"I understand, please reassure him. I know this well and already have a plan. In addition, Director Kang will decide on matters reported by the media."
Lin Nan's arrangements for this TV series have already been made. Think about it when you first invest.
The new home is still being cleaned and decorated, and the furniture and daily necessities are being replaced. The last few days of dormitory life need to be cherished.
On a sunny day, Lin Nan put on his bachelor's uniform. Today is the day of graduation.
In the cafeteria, there are graduates everywhere, wearing uniform uniforms and a little face-blind.
With a "pop" sound, Huang Bo patted Lin Nan.
"Director Lin, how about we take a photo together later?"
The way Huang Bo is dressed, he doesn't look like someone who graduated from university. He looks older. If he had a master's degree or a doctorate, he would be about the same.
In the past, Huang Bo often went to the acting department to take classes. Lin Nan joked that he might as well take a leave of absence from a higher vocational school and come here to study for two years and graduate together.
As a result, Huang Bo really did it! He didn't delay taking roles, didn't delay taking classes in the acting department, and just graduated with Lin Nan. He is a ruthless person.
"No problem, but you have to come find me later."
Lin Nan promised, he was too lazy to go to the higher vocational team.
Liu Yifei drove Lin Nan’s car back yesterday, and then Liu Xiaoli told her about it.
"My mother will not care about me from now on. I can use the cars in the garage as I please."
Liu Yifei said happily.
The graduation ceremony was not held in the auditorium this time, but in the open air. At first glance, everyone could see that they were all dressed in the same color, except for some people in the front row, who occasionally had different colors.
After the school leaders gave their message, they counted the achievements of the past four years and issued graduation certificates.
The speeches of the outstanding graduates were put at the back. Liu Yifei was named and stepped out of the performance department team, walking to the podium with confidence and sunshine.
Many people are still wondering, shouldn’t it be Lin Nan?
Miss Liu has already begun to speak. As a film and television person and a student of the film school, how should we face work, face the public, face difficulties and rumors...
Lin Nan was listening below, and Liu Yifei's speech was distracted. She even used herself as an example of the online violence she had suffered and how to be strong and sunny.
Applause resounded throughout the playground, and everyone was deeply affected.
When Lin Nan stood on the podium, the graduates realized that there were two people in this class!
"Thank you to the school for giving me the honor of being an outstanding graduate."
Lin Nan looked down at the dark crowd, ready to recruit people, and began to cast a net.
"Everyone knows that I have my own company, making movies and investing in TV series. I have also made some money from making movies in the past four years. This is a bit tacky."
"Hahaha..."
Laughter broke out from below, and many teachers and professors also smiled. That doesn’t mean they made some money, they made a lot of money.
“In order to thank the school for cultivating me, I make some promises of my own here. As long as I don’t go bankrupt, these promises will always be valid.”
This sentence caused another controversy laughter.
"First of all, it's the directing department I'm in. Whether it's a classmate, a senior, a future junior, or even a teacher, if you have a good script that needs investment, you can come to me. Of course, I have to approve your script, no joke." Lin Nan laughed.
“Students from behind-the-scenes majors such as photography, literature, and management can also come to me and submit their resumes. If you don’t like me, forget it, haha. Of course, the last one is the acting department. The competition is too fierce. In the future, I If there is a project, I will give priority to inviting auditions..."
The last sentence was careless and a bit perfunctory.
Lin Nan’s speech was completely off-topic, but everyone was very satisfied with it. It’s just that there was a bit too much personal information, but this is indeed a good thing for the school and students.
……
Free time for each major and time to take graduation photos.
After Lin Nan finished filming with the directing department, he was called to the acting department. This was something everyone had guessed early on.
"You are so bold. You dare to say anything on it, but the effect is very good." Teacher Zhou teased with a smile.
More than thirty people spontaneously moved Lin Nan to the middle of the second row. The first row was all girls, and Liu Yifei was in the middle.
Liu Yifei looked back at Lin Nan with joy in her eyes.
Putting a hand on Liu Yifei's shoulder, Lin Nan looked at the camera with a smile, and a graduation photo was frozen.
There are many people looking for photos with Lin Nan, and just as many looking for Liu Yifei.
When Lin Nan went to the toilet, he was dragged into a classroom.
Looking at Zhou Yang who was looking out of place, Lin Nan felt a little troubled.
He calmed down his tone and said, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Yang looked directly at Lin Nan, his eyes slightly red, "Lin Nan, it's time to graduate. There are some things I don't want to hide forever."
This scene was something Lin Nan had always avoided.
How can a girl always find a male classmate to quarrel and fight with? This plot is so familiar.
“You like Sissy, right?”
Looking at Lin Nan, Zhou Yang asked word by word with a lonely smile.
Lin Nan didn't speak. It was best not to say anything at the moment.
“But I like you.”
As if the stone that had been weighing on his heart for a long time disappeared, Zhou Yang looked relieved at this moment.
"Eh...woo..."
Lin Nan immediately pushed Zhou Yang away, "Are you crazy?"
"Haha, I'm not crazy, it's just a kiss. I won't disturb you anymore..."
Zhou Yang smiled, looked at Lin Nan for the last time, and turned to leave. Lin Nan was left alone in the classroom and said quietly, "What the hell is this!"
Two or three minutes later, Lin Nan left the classroom and happened to bump into Huang Bo.
“Oh, I finally found you. Let’s take a photo.”
Huang Bo and Lin Nan returned to the performance department. Liu Yifei was taking photos with the girls. Zhou Yang was squeezed in, and there was nothing strange about it.
“Women are born actors.” Lin Nan muttered.
"What did you say?" Huang Bo handed the camera to someone else, stood next to Lin Nan, and asked.
“Nothing, let’s take pictures.”
Lin Nan said.
"Wait, add me." Zhu Yawen ran over in a hurry.
……
Nortel’s Class 02 announced their official graduation today.
Lin Nan suddenly became busy. New Line was going to Shanghai Film Festival to promote. Shanghai Film Group had been urging Lin Nan for several days. In addition, "Time Cruise" had just been released, and he and Liu Yifei All have to go.
“They invited me before, but I didn’t sign up. This time I went only as a guest and as a platform for "Journey to the Center of the Earth"."
Lin Nan said to Liu Yifei, who was full of expectations for this time.
I sent a message to Lin Nan over there, hoping that his "Time Cruise" and "Into the Dust" can participate in the competition. Several award-winning films from last year's Golden Rooster also participated.
In the end, he was decisively rejected by Lin Nan. He didn’t want to be embarrassed. He couldn’t win the Golden Rooster award. The next year, he went to the Magic City and was embarrassed whether he won the award or not.
Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and the person in charge of New Line from China set off to the Magic City together.
Someone from Shanghai Film Academy will pick you up at the airport.
There were many Chinese and foreign stars on the Avenue of Stars during the opening ceremony.
Representing the crew of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" are the person in charge of New Line, the investor Lin Nan, and Liu Yifei, one of the leading actors. After all, coming here was a last-minute initiative of New Line and Shanghai Film. .
Liu Yifei did not wear a dress or skirt this time, but a simple and capable slim-fitting outfit, exuding vitality.
Walking onto the red carpet, the two attracted a large number of media shots. Nortel had just graduated from Class 02, and these two are the representatives of this class.
"Lin Nan, I heard that you declined the invitation to participate in the film festival this time. "Time Cruiser" has just won more than 200 million in box office. What did you think about it?"
This question of the host is also what many media want to know.
"We are here today to represent "Journey to the Center of the Earth." I and four domestic companies have invested in this drama. It will be released during the film festival. I hope everyone will support it."
Liu Yifei wanted to laugh but held back when she heard Lin Nan's unreasonable answers.
I heard Lin Nan add another sentence, "As for me not participating in the competition, well, if my films are not good, they won't be brought to the film festival to embarrass myself."
This The answer is really providing material for the media.
When it came to interviewing Liu Yifei, she spoke seriously about the filming of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and finally hoped for everyone's support.
This year's Magic City Film Festival is indeed several levels higher than last year. There are many stars from all walks of life, including Li An, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, etc. Director Feng is also the vice chairman of this competition unit. Luc Besson is chairman.
Lin Nan saw Lu Chuan from a distance. He glanced at him and walked away.
That night, Lin Nan met Tian Zhuangzhuang at the hotel. He was the chairman of the jury of the Asian Newcomer Award.
“You leave no room for anything with your mouth.”
After showing up at the opening ceremony, Lin Nan took Liu Yifei back to Beijing with no intention of staying longer.
"I thought we were not going back until tomorrow. We just went there today and left again at night. Is it really okay?"
Liu Yifei asked with a frown.
“It’s okay.”
……
The next day, Lin Nan's remarks on the red carpet were published in the newspapers. Everyone was saying that this time Lin Nan and Liu Yifei really went to complete the task. They walked on the red carpet and left, which was very perfunctory.
......
The Shanghai Film Festival did not cause a sensation in the film industry, but it was Li An who kept most of the actors awake.
The movie "Lust, Caution", adapted from the novel of the same name, has begun casting.
The Oscar-winning director personally directs, which is simply the top temptation for actors in the industry.
Looking at Liu Yifei's expectant eyes, Lin Nan shook his head firmly.
"Well, I will be very busy releasing the album next time..."
Liu Yifei said.
The news of the completion of "Soldier Assault" has spread. It is the first TV series Lin Nan has invested in. Everyone is waiting to see the results, which TV station will win and the price.
Kang Honglei returned to the capital and began post-production. Lin Nan hoped that he would cut a 40-episode version in addition to the original 30-episode version.
"Director Lin, if you cut it like this, the length of each episode will be reduced."
"With the addition of the plot summary and the preview of the next episode, it shouldn't affect it." Lin Nan said.
"But why do you do this? I have never done this kind of operation before."
"Director Kang, don't worry, I am asking this to make the show easier to sell."
Lin Nan doesn’t want to explain too much. He doesn’t plan to follow the traditional sales model for this drama. TV stations generally don’t offer high prices for military themes, and it’s a one-time buyout, with subsequent advertising revenue It has nothing to do with the producer at all.
"Okay, listen to Director Lin. Anyway, it was fully invested by you. I am very satisfied if it can be filmed."
Kang Honglei nodded and said.
"Don't worry, Director Kang, I believe in your ability, this drama will definitely be a masterpiece."
