Chapter 141 Finished, Liu Xiaoli’s mess
The filming of "Buried Alive" went smoothly and quickly.
So much so that Lin Nan had an unreal feeling. Is this about to end?
He was busy filming "The Martian" for nearly three months.
When the entire crew looked at Lin Nan, waiting for him to speak, he woke up from his trance.
"Our movie is officially finished. Thank you all for your hard work over the past two weeks."
As Lin Nan finished speaking, the filming of "Buried Alive", which took more than two weeks, came to an end.
Ryan Reynolds felt a little unnatural and walked towards Lin Nan.
"Director, thank you for giving me this opportunity. This movie is completely different from the ones I have made before. It is very special. I will always remember this period."
"Ryan , don’t worry, I will send it to Berlin after the editing is finished in the next few days. If nothing else happens, you will need to go to Berlin with me in February.”
"Thank you, Director You, I'm always ready to answer your phone calls or emails."
Ryan Reynolds said happily, but his energy still seemed a little sluggish.
"Rian, for the sake of safety, I advise you to talk to the doctor again to make sure there are no mental health problems." Lin Nan reminded.
“Thank you, I will go.”
In Lin Nan’s view, it is very contradictory to not be able to shoot well before entering the state, but to be too good when entering the state and hurting the actors. .
Ryan Reynolds may have really had no one ask him to do this kind of award-winning movie, so he used too much force when filming. Lin Nan just hopes that nothing really goes wrong.
Back at Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan saw Tom sitting on the boss's chair with a magazine spread out in his hand, with a naked Scarlett on the cover.
"Look at this kind of thing during working hours, Tom, you are very vulgar."
Lin Nan joked mercilessly, and many employees laughed after hearing it.
"Lin, look how sexy she is, she is only 23 years old."
Tom, an old pervert, didn't look embarrassed at all and handed the magazine to Lin Nan.
"Is this "Vanity Fair"?"
"Yes, she posed naked for the cover photo of "Vanity Fair". Think about the previous movie "The Black Dahlia", where she played a bohemian Woman..."
Lin Nan felt that Tom was becoming more and more obscene, but he had to admit that Scarlett at this age was really good at fighting.
A few people from the staff were assigned to edit the later stages of "Buried Alive". The special effects of "Mars" is a big project, so there is no rush for a day or two.
But Lin Nan, who was far away across the ocean, would never have thought that someone could raise money for him.
Li Lianjie set up the "One Fund", and now he has earned his reputation. In addition to the angel fund of the princess and his wife, many domestic actors, stars and people in the industry are donating.
In post bars and blogs, netizens and fans named famous figures in the industry one by one, and Lin Nan was among them.
"Charity?" Tom said with interest.
"What, what do you want to say?" Lin Nan asked.
"You can see this kind of stuff all over Hollywood." Tom clicked.
This is indeed a thing.
Lin Nan thought for a moment and then sent an email to Yue Jun.
Ask him to donate a sum of money in the name of Lin Nan and company to the official western region education assistance project.
And you still have to donate openly.
If nothing else, donating this money would at least give Lin Nan more peace of mind than giving it to those two funds.
Experience tells Lin Nan that you still have to leave a name for doing good deeds.
While staring at the editing of "Buried Alive" and the post-production special effects of "The Martian", Lin Nan became busy again.
I want to take the time to send a text message to Huang Bo to congratulate him. I heard that his "Big Movie Tens of Billions" was okay at the box office, but the plot is a spoof of more than 20 domestic and foreign blockbusters in real life.
Among all the movies, the most inconspicuous is Jia Zhangke's "The Good Man", but it is also the most conspicuous.
After winning the Golden Lion, Zhang Weiping said that he had an improper deal with the chairman of the jury, and Zhang Yimou was also involved in the scolding battle.
In Lin Nan's opinion, among the five generations of directors, Zhang Yimou is indeed the one with the broadest path, and he can handle both literary and commercial films.
The box office of "The Good Man in Three Gorges" only reached 2 million, which is Jia Zhangke's best movie at the moment.
New Year's Day is approaching, and rumors about the casting of "The King of Kung Fu", which has attracted much attention, have leaked.
Liu Yifei and Li Bingbing will be the lead and second female leads in this US$70 million production.
Domestic media immediately focused their attention on these two people and Hua Yi, and fans were enthusiastic.
This seems to be the biggest hot news at the end of 2006, which can be tied with "Golden Armor" at the beginning of the year.
Hua Yi did not say anything, which instantly increased the credibility of this rumor.
Mixed with the cheers of fans and moviegoers, there was also a large amount of negative news that suddenly appeared.
Liu Yifei has been the first to bear the brunt of the various black spots that have been exposed on the Internet since her debut until now. Not one of them has been missed, and they have all been fired again.
Li Bingbing did not hesitate to give in too much, and the sordid competition with the same group of female stars and various behind-the-scenes deals with the big guys in the industry were overwhelming.
Liu Yifei called Lin Nan. From the hoarse voice, something was obviously wrong.
The mother and daughter had been quarreling all day.
"How could she do that? She agreed to Hua Yi's contract without even believing that I could do it. She went too far..."
There was a burst of sobs as she spoke.
"Stop crying now, tell me what's going on?"
"Huayi, Huayi's president Wang told my mother that he could help me get the female lead, provided that my financial contract signed with Huayi Yi, Hua Yi goes..."
"At that time, I was still waiting for the last audition, and she agreed to the other party without telling me at all. She just told me yesterday..."
< br>The sobs became louder along with the sobs.
"Hua Yi? Where is the coaxing ghost? I just talked about this matter with Lions Gate some time ago. Hua Yi has no decision-making power for the female lead, not even the right to make suggestions!"
Lin Nan reacted instantly after saying this, "How did your mother explain it to you?"
"She and I argued for a day, and she said we should get the role first, and I think that's what she meant at the beginning. Thinking about supporting her first, how could she do that..." "Eh..."
When Lin Nan heard this, she still couldn't figure out what happened.
At that time, I was too busy with "The Martian", and I never thought that Liu Xiaoli would do such a mess.
But when I think of Liu Xiaoli's character and cognition, it's easy to understand that she can do such a thing.
Wang Zhonglei and Liu Xiaoli really made a good couple in this matter.
A man who wants to play black and white and cheat Liu Yifei's economic contract.
One only focuses on immediate interests, regardless of the consequences, and is self-righteous.
“Lin Nan, what should we do now?”
Liu Yifei asked, sobbing.
Listening to the girl's whimpering, Lin Nan felt uncomfortable.
"Stop crying now, I'll take care of it. Give the phone to Auntie."
It took several minutes before Lin Nan heard the sound. It seemed that the mother and daughter were really arguing. .
"Lin Nan." Liu Xiaoli's voice was also a bit wrong.
Without waiting for the other party to speak again, Lin Nan said first: "Auntie, have you ever thought about how you will handle it when Huayi asks you to fulfill your promise and asks Sissy to sign the contract?"
"Do you regret it? You Is that what you think? If so, all kinds of gangsters and bans will follow.
Of course, with me here, banning is definitely impossible, but there will be negative comments and blackmail from the media and online. There will definitely be a lot. "
"Finally, I want to tell you one thing. Wang Zhonglei is lying to you. Hua Yi can't make the decision at all when it comes to the female lead. Even Jackie Chan and Jet Li are Hollywood investors. Fang pulled up, the decision is here..."
"How could it be?"
Liu Xiaoli exclaimed.
"Then, what should we do now?"
Liu Xiaoli and her daughter had been arguing for a long time. From her daughter's words, she vaguely realized that she might have done something wrong. At this moment Hearing Lin Nan say this, he became even more panicked.
“Go to Huayi, go to Wang Zhonglei for a showdown, talk about this matter, and pretend that there is no verbal commitment to this matter...”
“Okay, okay.”
The phone returned to Liu Yifei's hand again. Lin Nan tried to make her voice gentle,
"Don't worry, I will take care of it. If you want to sign for you, it can only be me."
>"Yes."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan fell down to sleep and would clean up the stall tomorrow.
……
Wang Zhonglei dropped two vases, and the floor of the office was full of broken porcelain pieces.
It has just been two days since the results of the casting were released through the grapevine. I wanted to stir up the popularity. Later, Huayi officially confirmed it to attract public attention.
Who would have known that this afternoon, Liu Xiaoli would come with a cold face, and immediately expose his empty-handedness.
Wang Zhonglei has repeatedly denied it, but Liu Xiaoli insisted that Hua Yi did not have the right to cast the female lead, and he doubted whether one of his own people had leaked it.
Wang Zhonglei didn’t react until his assistant reminded him that the news might have been leaked by other investors. This might be the reason.
But how could Liu Xiaoli know this kind of thing?
Wang Zhonglei thought about it all afternoon, but couldn't figure it out.
“I don’t know how to praise, let’s wait until the movie is finished, we will calculate...”
“Mr. Wang, phone number.”
“Whose?”
"Director Lin Nan."
A flash of inspiration flashed in Wang Zhonglei's mind, and he seemed to have guessed something.
"Is it him?!"
"Hello, Director Lin?"
Wang Zhonglei instantly changed from his anger just now and replaced it with an elegant voice.
"Mr. Wang, we don't talk undercover. I'm calling to talk about Liu Yifei..."
Listening to Lin Nan's words, the habitual smile on Wang Zhonglei's face slowly disappeared and turned cold. , until I heard those last words.
"...This matter ends here. I have a movie coming later, and I can choose one of Huayi's artists as the first or second female lead..."
Wang Zhonglei's face A smile appeared again, "This is all a trivial matter. There were some communication problems between me and Ms. Liu. But when will Director Lin's next film be released?"
"It's really the nature of a businessman." Lin Nan I cursed in my mind.
"As soon as the middle of the year, it will definitely be filmed next year anyway."
"Okay, I'm waiting for Director Lin's new play, Hua Yi's actress, Director Lin can choose as he likes, haha, we are all friends ..."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhonglei slowly sat on the boss's chair.
“Go and tell Director Wang, pretend this never happened, and I got a female role in Lin Nan’s next play.”
“It’s an internal secret, don’t worry about it yet. Let those agents and artists know.”
"Okay, Mr. Wang."
Wang Zhonglei sat there alone, thinking about the relationship between Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.
From classmates to "Journey to the Center of the Earth" to the matter between him and Liu Xiaoli.
"Are you boyfriend and girlfriend? Ha, young people are so naive..."
There are so many good-looking women in the circle, and Wang Zhonglei doesn't believe that Lin Nan can withstand the temptation.
