Chapter 145 Berlin, "Buried Alive" Promotion
The director's department sent Lin Nan an email and asked him to put it together. New banners are ready to be customized at any time.
The school also made new promotional materials for him, which will be used during the art exam.
This left Lin Nan speechless. He had been squeezed by the art exam for consecutive years, and this was already his third year.
I’m afraid there will be a fourth or fifth year in the future, but I don’t know if the school will let him go after he graduates from graduate school.
"This really caught me trying to pluck the wool."
Lin Nan quietly made a foreign language film and took it to Berlin. Only then did the domestic media consciously pay attention to his movements in Hollywood. .
Unexpectedly, I noticed that Lin Nan had attended many film public relations receptions recently, and even met Jackie Chan once.
Two of Lin Nan's most impressive dramas have been aired, Hu Jun and Chen Daoming's "Sleeping on Firewood" and Chen Baoguo's "The Ming Dynasty". The former is on CCTV and the latter is on Mango, which is a great drama to start the new year.
They are both actors in "The Martian", and Lin Nan sent a special message to congratulate them.
New gossip came out, and the matter of Lin Nan being shortlisted for Berlin cooled down in the country.
Huang Shengyi and Xinghui won the lawsuit and it was decided on Hong Kong Island.
Seeing that evidence, Lin Nan also lamented that Xinghui was really exploitable. The salary stated in the contract was 769,000, but in reality he was only given 60,000. It can only be said that neither party is a good person.
Jiang Yiyan's development is similar to that of Zhou Yang, but she is better at digging than Zhou Yang, and the drama is still constant. At the premiere press conference of the TV series, she spent time with Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, talked about the friendship between classmates, and did not See and talk about other students.
Liu Yifei was too embarrassed to say anything, and Lin Nan was too lazy to care. In fact, everyone had already drifted apart.
Zhou Yang’s call came. It was still night in China.
"Thank you."
"What's wrong?"
"Things about that character. She can almost be regarded as one of the heroines of "The Prequel of the Lotus Lantern" . ”
Time will make people grow. I don’t know since when, Zhou Yang restrained the bold character of the shareholder Beida Niu.
"Let's act well. Director Yu and the others should start filming in the second half of the year. Has the contract been signed?"
"Director Zhao came to see me before. The contract was just signed today, and some actors are still undecided."
"That's good, you'll have to rely on yourself from now on." After a long time, Lin Nan only said this.
"Well, thank you."
Lin Nan hung up the phone and asked everyone to be well.
On the other side, the girl looked at the phone in her hand and smiled, water dripping on it.
She knows what it means. From now on you are on your own.
"I really envy you, Sissy."
......
Lin Nan also has a headache, if Zhou Yang is like Jiang Yiyan, On the contrary, he had no burden in his heart.
I went with Tom to visit the cast of "Twilight". This film is scheduled to be shot for three to four months, and is currently less than half way through the process.
Not only Tom, but also Wen Tsai-ren is not optimistic about this movie, vampire + youth campus love, which has nothing outstanding in the Hollywood movie market. The story is old-fashioned, the plot is rough, and the emotions are pale...
Almost all the shortcomings that can be thought of when evaluating a movie can be used here.
"Not every best-selling youth novel is "Harry Potter", Lin, you have to be prepared to lose money."
Tom gave his advice again.
"Then do you think I can afford to pay?"
"Okay, you can afford to pay."
The contract Lin Nan gave to Director Catherine was a series contract. When he wanted to come, Once a movie gets off to a good start, try not to change the lineup later, so that the style of the movie can remain consistent.
"We are currently filming very smoothly. Stephanie will come to visit occasionally. The children are very hardworking."
Katherine looked at the Oriental director in front of her and talked about the current situation of the filming.
I heard that this young director is going to Berlin soon. It is really unbelievable that he is competing for the Golden Bear for the second time at such a young age.
Several main actors also gathered around. Lin Nan was a big director to them, and they were all small actors.
"Everyone, please work hard. I have already negotiated with Lionsgate for the distribution of this movie. You will meet the entire North American audience."
The actors' eyes widened. , if Lionsgate releases it, there will definitely be a lot of theaters opening it. If it can be popular?
A group of people suddenly had thoughts in their hearts.
"Director Catherine, we are not short of time and we will try to make the movie as perfect as possible." Lin Nan instructed.
"Yes, I understand."
The two left after not staying long.
"Kristen, you don't really expect this movie to be a hit, do you? Movies are different from novels."
"Tyler, how do you know if you don't try it? This movie won't work. The movie seems to be the first independently produced film by this company. Maybe we will have another chance with other movies in the future.”
...
"Lin, are you going to the opening ceremony? Or arrive before the closing ceremony and awards night?"
"Before the opening ceremony."
Abstract After learning the lesson of "Into the Dust", Lin Nan has to prepare in advance for the promotion of the movie this time.
It takes too long to be released in theaters, and the film sells quickly, so I have to go early.
Renting a venue for the premiere and setting aside time for publicity, Lin Nan had taken these things into consideration and couldn't be as careless as last time.
"Golden Armor" suffered heavy losses, Zhang Weiping was like a green bull, venting his anger everywhere.
I got into an argument with Zhou Runfa again, accusing the other party of not cooperating with the publicity. The result was internal disagreements among the investors, and the Hong Kong investors refused to let Chow Yun-fat go.
Randomly changed his words and wanted to ban Zhou Runfa again. People in the industry are happy to see Zhang Weiping's excitement.
This is not like the quarrel between Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke some time ago, where the General Administration personally came down to persuade them to make peace.
At this moment, many media outlets are still making trouble for Zhang Weiping, just waiting to see the joke.
New Line has detailed schedule arrangements for the later stage. This kind of large project is also much more rigorous because of its rich experience.
Crystal Pictures is different. After all, the scale was not large before. Even if new people are constantly added during this period, it will always take time to adjust and the efficiency is very low.
"Tom, continue to recruit people, all of them need technicians and engineers."
"Still recruiting? But there are already so many."
"Let's recruit. In an office as big as ours, these hundreds of people are still few.
In the future, I will have others The plan..."
Seeing that Lin Nan was hesitant to speak, Tom said no more.
"Okay, let's continue recruiting."
At the end of January, Lin Nan and Tom flew to Berlin together. Ryan Reynolds will be there during the opening ceremony. This movie is special because it does not have a female protagonist.
When I landed in Berlin, I could already feel the atmosphere of the film festival approaching.
Filmmakers and studios from all over the world are rushing here, and large posters of some films can already be seen.
Bringing Tom along is to let him work.
“You are an old man from Berlin, so you don’t need to be so formal, right?”
Lin Nan went to the official film festival to sign in and rented a large screening room.
That's the bad thing about the film festival. You have to do the promotion yourself. Lin Nan rented it for half a month, starting from the 1st of next month.
"Of course it must be formal and give the other party full respect. It may not be beneficial, but it will certainly not be harmful."
"Well, what you said makes sense. Are there any other people among you? What kind of golden mean, Confucianism..."
Lin Nan looked at Tom in surprise, how many things has this guy secretly learned?
"Don't look at me like that. Although I'm usually not serious, I'm really knowledgeable when I'm serious. In your words, I've learned five things."
Lin Nan gave a big Thumb, learned and rich people all know it.
To put it more carefully, Lin Nan arrived relatively late during the first two times he came to Berlin, in time for the opening ceremony.
This time is considered a normal time, because most of the filmmakers and production companies selling copyrights have almost arrived.
As soon as the promotional sign for "Buried Alive" was placed in the hall, it attracted a lot of attention.
There are only twenty-six films in the main competition, and they have long been remembered by people.
"Buried Alive" is one of them, and the director was the Best Silver Bear Director the year before last.
Many film dealers gathered around, making Lin Nan feel a bit like setting up a street stall.
It’s just that this stall sells movies, and they are expensive.
"Lin, when will your movie premiere?"
"On the first of next month, you can take a brochure back. This is a very special movie, I promise."
"When can I meet with you to discuss the copyright issue?"
A European film producer asked, this is an English film, which is an extra bonus.
“No, no, it’s too early to talk about this now.” Lin Nan said with a smile.
“You are such a shrewd director, just like you were two years ago.”
When Lin Nan said this, he had an impression. Wasn't this person in front of him someone he had dealt with before?
It’s just that Lin Nan delayed it until the end of the award ceremony and sold it to someone else at a high price, not the one in front of him.
At a glance, you can find movies from all over the world here.
This is also another feature of the International Film Festival that cannot be ignored, the Film Trading Center.
I just don’t know how many billions of dollars this year’s transaction volume will reach.
The news that Lin Nan appeared in Berlin to promote a new movie spread back to China within a few hours.
The introduction and brochure of "Buried Alive" were also reported.
"Chinese translation: "Buried Alive". Is it so fancy?"
Many filmmakers learned the news and were very curious. This name may not necessarily be given to them in China. Go ahead.
“Look at this poster, it’s just like a coffin. He’s very capable of tossing things around.”
"Go back and contact him. Don't go away for a few months and your thoughts will wander. We don't like this style..."
The school leader said to Tian Zhuangzhuang matter-of-factly.
“You have to look at the content of the movie, right? It’s definitely not a supernatural movie. I believe in Lin Nan’s consciousness.”
Few domestic directors make foreign language films, Lin Nan this time It can be said that he stole the limelight, and relatively more people paid attention to his movie.
But as soon as the name of this movie came out, it was indeed very different from Lin Nan's previous style, which inevitably made people think twice.
"Today, more than 40 film producers have asked for my contact information. Lin, your Silver Bear trophy is really useful."
Tom said with excitement on his face.
Lin Nan ignored Tom, he had just received a call from China Film.
In a few days, their film buying team will come over. This time, Han Sanping will still lead the team. It should be the last time he does this job as a deputy director.
