Chapter 139 "Buried Alive"
Sun Li's "funding scandal" has been under fire recently, and the car radios are talking about it.
The driver was still Miss Liu, taking Lin Nan to the airport.
"How could such a thing happen, doing good deeds and making enemies?" Liu Yifei was very puzzled.
“Vanity is a thing that harms others and ourselves.”
Lin Nan explained, then thought of something, and said to Liu Yifei:
"Xiqian, if you want to participate in charity activities, you must remember to do what you promised."
< br>"I will definitely do what I say, but you actually doubt my character?"
As he said that, Liu Yifei glared at Lin Nan.
“Of course I believe you, I’m just reminding you that sometimes organizers can trick people.”
Lin Nan remembered some cases where the organizers only wanted the actor's reputation to take the lead, so they just asked her to bid a price, and they would make up for it later. But in the end, she failed to make up for it, and her character was really ruined after being exposed.
Liu Yifei looked very dashing as she held the steering wheel. The sun shone on her face, making Lin Nan look a little crazy.
"I have made several movies, but I have missed you. Will you be very angry?"
He couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, you promised me a long time ago, but you have never done it. You owe me more and more movies. Think about how to compensate me in the future."
Without looking at Lin Nan, Liu Yifei looked at the road and said casually, with a hint of joking in her tone.
"Well, I will compensate you, and I will also compensate you..."
Lin Nan said softly.
The car was parked at the edge of the airport, and the door was not opened for a long time.
"I'll hold you for a while longer." The girl said.
"It's not a separation between life and death, it's so emotional. Hey...hiss, I won't say anything anymore, please put your hands away..."
Lin Nan rubbed the flesh on his waist with a sigh on his face.
......
Lin Nan boarded the plane, thinking about what he had seen and heard in the past two days, feeling a little helpless.
I also thought that if Hu Jun made "The Martian", he should be able to avoid "Red Cliff", but after going round and round, he still made it into the actor list there, just wavering between Zhao Yun and Lu Bu.
That's right, Chengtian finally got some investment share, Wang Jinghua must seize the opportunity.
Before Lin Nan boarded the plane, CJ's "New World" had just been released in South Korea a few hours ago.
Lin Nan was notified of this and was invited to the premiere, but he was already short on time to return to China and he didn’t want to delay his schedule, so he refused.
According to CJ's arrangement, after it is released in South Korea for a period of time, it will be promoted to other regions, focusing on North America.
Lin Nan just waits for the division of accounts and doesn’t need to worry about anything else.
Before preparing to set off, he told Yue Jun that he would submit a new movie script for review. This is also the movie that Lin Nan will start filming next year.
After more than ten hours of flying, Lin Nan’s first words after landing and getting into Tom’s new car were to ask him about movie information from South Korea.
"Lin, I paid attention as soon as I saw your text message. The first-day results of "New World" were indeed good."
"How much?"
“I heard that more than 830,000 viewers were mobilized, which is a rare achievement in South Korea.”
Lin Nan is not used to this kind of description of box office performance in terms of number of attendances, but South Korea and island countries follow this model. They unify movie pricing and directly calculate the number of people. Only countries with sparsely populated areas can do this.
"You made money again, 10% of the box office revenue." Tom said enviously.
Lin Nan just smiled and said nothing.
"But there is bad news. The box office of the "Golden Armor" we talked about last time was very bad, and it was not as good as the previous "Heroes" and "House of Flying Daggers"..."
< br>"What's going on?" Lin Nan asked.
"More than 1,200 theaters have been opened, but the attendance rate is very low. The assessment given by professional organizations said that its box office in North America may only be about five to six million dollars."
Hearing this , Lin Nan also understood that this custom-made film made by Zhang Yimou for foreign countries was definitely a failure.
Back at Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan checked the work progress of the past two days, including New Line, and it was all normal.
At present, a few minutes of special effects pictures have been released. They look good, but they still need to be refined, and the efficiency will be faster later.
The news that "The Golden Jacket" failed at the North American box office quickly spread back to China.
Some things are really amazing. It turns out that Hollywood film critics and media people also disagree with ordinary audiences.
The Hollywood media used all the praises imaginable, epic works, grand dramatic spectacles, the solemnity of ancient Greek tragedies...
But the box office is still lifeless. at every turn.
The domestic box office of "The Golden Jacket" is still surging, but it seems that the reputation is a little out of control.
The crew of "Scarred City" is still quarreling with Zhang Weiping in the distance. I heard that the latter has signed overlord clauses with some theaters and can only show "The Golden Armor".
Lin Nan is still in Hollywood, but there is news about him in China.
In view of the particularly outstanding performance of "New World" in South Korea, the domestic media also reported it, and the news that the script was written by Lin Nan spread throughout the industry.
Especially Ying Huang told the media that Lin Nan could film this kind of film in Hong Kong Island.
"Lin, the invitation from Berlin is here again."
Tom walked in with an official letter.
"Didn't you send it to me once?"
"Last time it was an invitation from Paul Schrader as the chairman of the jury. This time it is an official invitation to you. No matter what, you have Berlin's signature on you. Tag, where did you become famous..."
Lin Nan did not refute Tom's words, but the guests did not just go and show their faces, they had to stay for several days, so how could he be willing to do that.
"How about you think of a way to produce a work these days?"
Tom asked tentatively.
This was very unpleasant to Lin Nan's ears. Making a movie is not a VCR.
"Even if you kill me, I won't be able to make a movie in this little time." Lin Nan said angrily.
"Haha, why are we killing you? Then we have to find a cemetery to bury you, and we have to spend money..."
Tom also thought it was impossible, so he opened He started joking, but he found that Lin Nan was staring straight at him.
"Lin, what's wrong with you?"
"Did you just say you were buried?" Lin Nan asked excitedly. .
"Ah, yes, I was joking..." Tom explained hurriedly.
"Haha, this is a good joke. It reminds me."
As he spoke, Lin Nan stepped up the stairs and shouted: "I'm going I’m writing a script, don’t disturb me.”
.........
Lin Nan was very grateful to Tom for his joke, otherwise why would he have thought of this movie.
The movie can be made with just one lead actor and one coffin. The key is that the plot is simple, and you just need to challenge the male lead to film it. It takes about half a month, and it can be completed in a month at most. It only took sixteen days in the original time.
Script "Buried Alive".
I just hope that two years in advance, the male lead will not be too different, but I think there should be no problem with a professional actor.
Lin Nan wanted to find actors from China now, but it was too late, so he could only use local materials and make a foreign language film.
"What a pity."
......
"Lin, don't you find a famous actor? Although this person has made some movies, he is not a big name. , all are small roles and supporting roles, even if the acting skills are good."
"Go to the guild and ask if he has any schedule. I only need him for a month at most."
Lin Nan remembered that this guy's performance was really good.
Seeing Lin Nan so determined, Tom said nothing, "Okay, I'll go ask."
Taking out the phone, Lin Nan called Wen Ziren, "James "Are you free recently? I'm going to make a movie and I need your advice..."
Horror film directors should have more experience and thinking about actors' emotional interpretations.
This is also the reason why Lin Nan wants Wen Ziren to come and attack him.
In addition, Lin Nan needs to change the shooting technique, which is the only shortcoming of the original drama.
Wen Tsairen drove to Crystal Pictures.
"Recently, I was helping to polish a new script, and your call interrupted my train of thought, Lin Nan."
As soon as it came up, Wen Ziren complained.
“I’m really sorry, but I have a good script here. Do you want to read it?”
With that said, Lin Nan pushed the laptop towards Wen Ziren.
Two hours later, Wen Ziren pushed away the computer in front of him.
“I’m really impressed by you, you can always think of these interesting scripts.”
“With your experience as a horror film director, help me figure out these types of performances in my script. Which method will be better?"
Lin Nan ignored Wen Ziren's compliment and asked.
"Lin, actually you made a cognitive mistake. Every director has his own style. If you listen to my suggestion, this movie will tend to have a thriller atmosphere.
And you are taking it as a movie If you are modest, then you should focus on self-rescue according to your ideas, and focus on self-rescue in a race against time. A person’s instinctive yearning for life forces him to try every means, but he can’t do anything to survive..."
< br>Lin Nan patted his head, the authorities were confused.
“Your words are the greatest help to me.”
“Haha, you’re welcome.”
...
At Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan met the person Tom had brought for him.
“Hello, I am Lin Nan.”
“Hello, director.”
“This movie is almost a one-man show, and the requirements for actors are Very high, you can read the script first..."
Lin Nan handed the other party the script and his own shooting plan, which was more than ten pages long.
Ryan Reynolds takes it seriously. Although he has been acting for sixteen years, he is still only a third-rate actor in Hollywood.
The Eastern director in front of me is the Best Silver Bear Director. Maybe this is an opportunity.
The conference room was very quiet, with only the sound of turning pages of the script and exclamations.
“This is my first time seeing this kind of play, director, I may need some time to get into the mood.”
Ryan Reynolds said matter-of-factly.
Lin Nan smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem. The crew will even prepare a rescue team for you, including a psychologist, to deal with accidents during filming at any time, and to prevent you from psychological problems and mental depression. "
After that, Lin Nan added without waiting for the other party's reaction, "If you can play this role well, then the movie will premiere in Berlin in February next year, Paul. Chairman Schrader has invited me twice."
"Is this a play for the film festival?"
The other party asked with his eyes widened.
"Yes."
"No problem director, I can play this role well, please believe me."
Ryan Reynolds said eagerly, he didn't expect that God would really give This gave me a chance to take part in an award-winning film.
According to the unspoken rules, directors who have won awards at the three major European film festivals have a high probability of being shortlisted if they compete again.
"Okay, time is limited, you have to familiarize yourself with the script as soon as possible and get into the state, we can start it at any time."
