Chapter 148 Hong Kong Island, Yinghuang
The country is boiling.
It’s not just that Wang Quan’an won the fourth Golden Bear trophy for Chinese-language films.
The discussion about Lin Nan is even higher than Wang Quan'an.
“The film was made in seventeen days! Best Silver Bear director!”
"Lin Nan gave an acceptance speech and will hit the Golden Lion, Golden Bear, and Golden Palm in the future!"
"Buried Alive" lost in terms of subject matter..."
Twice in three years Won Berlin's Best Director, the entire film and television news section was full of this news.
The most critical point is that Lin Nan is still so young. He is not just an award-winning director, he is also a great commercial film director.
This is not comparable to Wang Quan.
As soon as he stepped off the podium and took his seat, Lin Nan sent a text message to Liu Yifei.
"The gift you asked for is here."
......
Nortel was the happiest, and all the leaders at the meeting were smiling.
Two banners are ready, one for Wang Quan'an and one for Lin Nan.
"Director Tian, you've made a profit now. You haven't even won the title of Silver Bear Director, and you have two students."
"Hahaha, it's true, you've made a profit..."
Liu Yifei held her mobile phone and smiled silly.
Liu Xiaoli couldn't stand it anymore, "Eat something quickly. The training intensity has been high recently and you have obviously lost weight."
"I thought he could succeed. Mom, you can see that he got it." Awarded.”
Liu Yifei shook her phone and said.
"How long will he stay there? It's impossible to wait until the later stage is completed, right?" Liu Xiaoli asked.
"No, he said that as long as there are no problems in the first few months and the rest of the work is done according to the schedule, he will be back."
"It has been three months. Right?”
“Well, hehe, I miss him a little bit.”
"Don't be ashamed." Liu Xiaoli said with a sad look on her face.
Liu Yifei finally reacted, she was distracted and said what was in her heart, "Mom..."
...
"Director Lin, congratulations."
"Thank you, if you keep working hard next time, there will be many opportunities." Lin Nan said to Fan Bingbing.
"By the way, my contract with Hua Yi has ended. The next step will be to set up my own studio. If there are film projects in the future, please take care of me, Director Lin..."
Star Studio?
Lin Nan remembers that it was indeed the woman in front of him who started it. After her, there were more and more examples of actors and artists opening their own studios. Especially after the entry of Internet companies, the salary skyrocketed again...
"Then I wish you a prosperous business."
"Thank you, Director Lin. See you in China."
With that said, Fan Bingbing waved his hand and left with the crew.
Although the crew of "Apple" did not win any awards, they have sold enough copyrights. At least the capital is back.
Han Sanping's film purchase this time has also been successfully completed. The most conspicuous transaction is Lin Nan's "Buried Alive".
"I heard that Wang Quan'an's "Tuya Wedding" sold more than your "Buried Alive"?"
"So, China Film's price of 10 million is really a profit. Big, Mr. Han.”
"How much did you sell for?" Han Sanping asked with interest.
"Except domestically, two thousand."
"It's really high, you originally did "Into the Dust and Smoke" only over 800."
"By the way, Yang Shoucheng made an appointment What are you talking about?”
“I sent you a book before, but forget it this time, Mr. Han. “Buried Alive” was given to China Film at a low price.”
"So stingy? Okay, let's forget it this time. But how long are you going to stay in Hollywood? I saw someone from your company sent a notebook to the bureau."
Okay, so you are waiting here. .
"I will arrange the post-production matters as soon as possible and then return to China. The most important first three months of the post-production period of "The Martian" have also come here. From now on, just follow the plan."
"That's good, I'll go back to China first, and then come and sit down with China Film Group."
......
The Berlin Film Festival is over, and major studios and filmmakers are also leaving.
Lin Nan and Tom took the flight back to Hollywood. Ryan Reynolds went back the morning after the awards ceremony. Although he did not win the award, he was nominated for Best Actor, which made him very happy.
Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan and Tom announced the celebration as soon as they came back.
A party was held at the company to celebrate Lin Nan’s Silver Bear Award.
Wen Ziren also came to participate that day and was very envious of Lin Nan.
"Hollywood has reported that you are a rare genius. Believe it or not, now you just need to say that you have a script and you need to find actors, and many well-known Hollywood actors will consider it."
"Wait a minute, still Not the time.”
For the next two days, Lin Nan went back and forth between New Line and Crystal Pictures.
The detailed requirements, guidelines, finished product quality requirements and plans for the subsequent special effects production were all reviewed again.
Every once in a while, Tom needs to report to Lin Nan.
"Lin, are you really going back?"
"I thought I had to keep an eye on it all the time, but I found that once the work is on track, I don't need to worry so much.
You just need to control the big picture The direction is good, so you have to do your job well and report to me. Being a CEO is not that easy. "
"I think you want to go back to Crystal Liu," said Tom.
"There is also this reason." Lin Nan smiled.
"When "Twilight" is finished filming, let Director Catherine focus on the post-production. This is a contract requirement.
When it is done, remember to notify me, and then discuss with Lions Gate about the announcement and release. "
"The staff continues to expand, and there are also equipment..."
Lin Nan tried his best to arrange everything properly and patted Tom on the shoulder.
"Tom, remember when you wanted to buy a house in Beverly Hills? Work hard and I will help you make your wish come true."
"Okay, I will. Don't you keep your trophy at Crystal Pictures? You already have one in China." "No, this is a gift. I want to give it away."
……
Hong Kong Island, an international metropolis.
Lin Nan was dressed in sportswear, like a tourist, carrying a shoulder bag.
As soon as I left the airport, I was surrounded by two people.
"Director Lin? Director Huo asked us to stay here while she waits for you in the car."
Lin Nan really never thought that Huo Wenxi would come to pick him up in person.
“Then let’s go.”
A Mercedes-Benz S Series was parked not far away. The door opened before Lin Nan could get closer.
Huo Wenxi is dressed in workplace attire, with high heels and stockings, and has a very royal air.
"Director Lin, welcome to Hong Kong Island, Yang Sheng has prepared a reception banquet for you at the Peninsula Hotel."
"It doesn't have to be so grand, right?" Lin Nan was a little uncomfortable with it.
“This is the first collaboration between Director Lin and Ying Huang. This is what it should be.”
Hong Kong Island is full of legends.
Although the film and television entertainment industry is no longer brilliant, it has a profound foundation. Of course, paparazzi is also famous in Asia.
We chatted for two minutes outside the airport, and at least several waves of paparazzi took photos.
Sitting in the car with Huo Wenxi, the other party was still talking about this matter.
“Director Lin may not be used to it yet, Hong Kong Island’s entertainment reporters are like this.”
The car drove all the way to the Peninsula Hotel, and the news of Lin Nan’s landing on Hong Kong Island was announced in less than half an hour. Even if it’s on the news, it’s still a follow-up report.
"The great mainland director and winner of the Berlin Silver Bear Award arrived in Hong Kong today..."
"Huo Wenxi, the director of Yinghuang Artists, personally picked up the plane!"
"Lin Nan and the Yinghuang staff arrived at the airport Meet at the Peninsula Hotel..."
The car stopped, Lin Nan looked at the hotel in front of him, known as the lady of the Far East, and felt a little emotional. There were many stories in the Magic City and Hong Kong Island in that era.
"Director Lin, please."
"Okay."
Follow Huo Wenxi into the hotel, and walked for a long time before arriving at the place.
The magnificent architecture is a period of humiliation for the Chinese people.
Yang Shoucheng wore glasses and looked a bit elegant.
"Director Lin, long time no see. Congratulations on winning the Silver Bear Award for Best Director for the second time, and the copyright for that film..."
"Director Yang, this is all over. Let's talk about the serious things. After that, it's not too late to reminisce about the past."
Yang Shoucheng smiled, "No wonder Director Lin has achieved such an achievement at such a young age. Okay, let’s talk about business first.”
There were only three people left in the huge private room, and a table full of sumptuous dishes.
“When Director Lin sent the message from Hollywood a few years ago, I was really happy. We had failed to cooperate many times before, but this time we finally had a chance.”
“The Ye family Do you agree? I don’t want to have the farce that happened when Li Lianjie was filming "Huo Yuanjia" and was sued."
"Agreed, Yinghuang will ask Mr. Ye to be the honorary consultant for this film."
"That's good. With their family, there won't be any big problem."
Yang Shoucheng helped. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Huo Wenxi, who got up and went to open a bottle of red wine.
"Director Lin, let's talk about investment."
Some movies have a different taste when they are shot in Hong Kong and in the mainland. This is also Lin Nan The reason why I brought Ying Huang with me this time.
He produced the script and funds himself, and Yinghuang participated in the investment and did the work.
"The copyright belongs to me, I'll give you 40% of the copyright." Lin Nan said without any emotion.
Yang Shoucheng frowned, "There is no objection to the copyright. But Yinghuang has to organize the crew and be responsible for the filming, so 40% is a bit low, right?"
"When we were in Berlin, Han They have always asked me about this project.”
Yang Shoucheng felt a little nervous. Han Sanping has a wild goose-like temperament and belongs to Pixiu.
"But I persuaded him to forget about this movie, otherwise Yinghuang might not get 40% of it..."
"Director Lin, Mr. Yang, let's eat some food first and talk slowly. Lin. Director, this wine belongs to Director Yang’s private collection, and I’m treating you specially to it today.”
Huo Wenxi interrupted as he handed over two glasses of red wine.
Lin Nan took the cup and glanced at Yang Shoucheng, "Director Yang can think about it slowly, I may play for two more days, don't be in a hurry."
After saying that, he raised his glass. Take a sip.
"Okay, then wait two days before replying to Director Lin. Let's eat first. This is a reception banquet for you..."
...
At the dinner table, Yang Shoucheng proposed to hold a banquet , and also introduced some actors and filmmakers from Hong Kong to Lin Nan, who might have the opportunity to collaborate in the future.
"Director Yang, you know, I am from the film school, and I have a good foundation.
We can have banquets, but some people have crooked butts, so don't invite them..."
When Lin Nan said these words, Yang Shoucheng and Huo Wenxi were stunned for a moment.
Yang is also an old fox, like a human spirit.
“Don’t worry, I know what’s going on and I won’t make any mistakes.”
Some words, just click on them and that’s enough.
The guests and hosts had a great meal, and there was a tacit understanding during the meal, and the matter of investment division was never mentioned again.
"The nightlife in Hong Kong Island is very rich. Do you want to go there, Director Lin? It just so happens that I haven't gone out for a long time, so let's go together..."
When Yang Shoucheng said this, it was really hard for Lin Nan to refuse, otherwise it would be too much. Losing face.
"Then, let's go for a walk."
"Okay. Wenxi, you will come too, bring two more people..."
Yang Shoucheng arranged with a smile .
Not long after, Lin Nan received a call, and Liu De was shocked.
It was said that he had arrived in Hong Kong Island, but he didn’t know if he would say anything so that he could entertain Lin Nan.
Immediately, the two made an appointment to meet at that time.
