Chapter 152: Only Help Once
More than half an hour later, Zhou Xun nodded thoughtfully.
“Well, it feels pretty good. It’s not like the vixen with facial makeup in the past.
But I’m signed with Huayi now. You came to me directly and didn’t think about it. Will it definitely succeed?”
“Those two Mr. Wang are very excited, but they don’t know that it’s you I want to invite.
Besides, I know a bit about the contract between you and Huayi, and you have a lot of autonomy. "
Lin Nan said with a smile.
"Well, that's okay. When "The Night Banquet" was launched, I told you that if you have a copy, you can come to me.
Now that I have found them all, I definitely have no reason to refuse.
I will keep the schedule, but you need to send me the detailed script later. When the drama is finished, you can sign a contract with me. ”
Zhou Xun made a verbal agreement with Lin Nan to cooperate with him in just a few words.
......
When the crew started working in the afternoon, Lin Nan watched it for a while. As expected of Zhou Xun, he was born to eat this bowl of rice.
Look at Zhang Yi again. His appearance is not considered handsome. He is indeed not suitable for the male protagonist of "Painted Skin". What if he is a supporting role? Lin Nan still thinks about it more carefully.
"Li Mi's Conjecture" has just been launched not long ago, and it will probably take some time to finish.
There is no need to be so anxious about the choices for the remaining characters in "Painted Skin".
After greeting the crew, Lin Nan flew back to the capital again. He promised to follow the entire art test.
While taking advantage of this time, he also needs to prepare for this movie. This is a big production, and props, logistics, etc. all require teamwork.
This is also Lin Nan’s first time to work on a costume movie, and it is a fantasy movie, so she must make sufficient preparations.
When Lin Nan got home, China Film gave him the accurate information, and the time was set in one afternoon. "Buried Alive" was scheduled to be released on March 15th.
Just a week before "Tuya's Marriage", two movies hit "Clues of Time" on the 20th.
The "Tower of Babel" is scheduled for March 8th to compete with South Korea's "Hanjiang Monster".
No wonder Han Sanpingchou, they are all famous movies, and they are not based on a buyout and splitting model.
The CCTV customized drama, "The Prequel of the Lotus Lantern" has officially begun auditions. Of course, some of the core roles have been booked, and there are not many missing roles now.
In the news reported by the media, the audience discovered Lin Nan's name, which was just a dispensable title.
Anyone who understands knows that this is a human relationship, and Lin Nan will not actually participate in the filming.
He is currently on the phone with Paul, who is from Lionsgate and is stationed on the set of "Kung Fu King".
Lin Nan really needed to thank him and made an appointment to visit the martial arts training base the next day, mainly to see Liu Yifei.
Shu Chang came over early in the morning, wearing a ponytail and a sweatshirt, and rubbed Lin Nan's two meat buns.
To be honest, Shu Chang’s clothes are better than Liu Yifei’s.
"Sissi told me that you are going to visit the martial arts school, and I will ride in your car with you."
Shu Chang said while eating steamed buns.
“Okay, silly girl.”
“Don’t call me silly girl.”
Shu Chang said angrily.
After the filming of "The Deer and the Cauldron" was completed last year, Shu Chang took over the drama. She was the leading female lead in "The Magic Phone" with great imagination, and she was also part of the same team as "The Lotus Lantern".
"Sissi told me, I didn't even know you accepted such a TV series, haha..."
Lin Nan cleared the dining table while smiling.
“Let’s go, I will take you to see your sister-in-law.”
“Lin Nan, when did you become so shameless? Do you dare to say the same in front of Aunt Liu? ”
Shu Chang stared at the boss, then laughed and teased.
“I don’t dare.”
Lin Nan said without looking back, walking towards the garage, Shu Chang chased after him.
"Coward..."
"If you say anything else, just go on your own." Lin Nan replied.
"I won't." Shu Chang muttered.
......
Lin Nan drove Shu Chang all the way to this school, which is famous in both the cultural and sports circles.
There have been so many sports stars and action actors here. The most famous one is Jet Li. Wu Gen and Donnie Yen have also come here to study.
Many domestic costume movies or action movies will choose to train here before starting.
"You were saying something here and there along the way, looking for something to talk about. Is there something wrong?"
Lin Nan walked in front and asked.
Shu Chang followed with his head lowered and said nothing again.
Liu Yifei had been waiting outside early, and when she saw Lin Nan and the two of them, she ran over with joy on her face, and hugged Shu Chang, and the two instantly became talkative.
"Director Minkoff and the others are inside." Liu Yifei shook her head at Lin Nan.
"You guys talk first, I'll come over for a while."
In a large training room, many people are warming up.
Lin Nan saw Chang Wei at a glance. No, it was Zou Zhaolong dancing a Guan Gong sword.
He didn't see Jackie Chan or Jet Li. These two people shouldn't have to come over in advance. After such hard training, this is their status.
“Director Lin Nan.”
A foreigner came over and stretched out his hand from a distance. All the actors warming up also looked over.
"Hello, Director Rob." Lin Nan held the big hand.
"You are really a genius. Hollywood has been reporting on you recently. You have achieved so much at such a young age. They said "Buried" is simply wonderful..."
"Thank you. Praise."
"Director Lin, congratulations." Li Bingbing also came over.
Lin Nan nodded in response and looked at Zou Zhaolong.
"Hello, Mr. Zou."
"Director Lin is very polite, just give me a chance if there is a good movie in the future, haha..."
After a brief greeting, Lin Nan found Paul at Lionsgate.
“You’re welcome, Lin. Your girlfriend will not be bullied on the set, I can guarantee that, including those kissing scenes she doesn’t like.
By the way, her mother will also play a supporting role, which is what I suggested..."
"I have to thank you, Paul, you helped me a lot. Lin Nan said sincerely. "You are a friend and partner of Lions Gate. These are small things, and James is making a fuss out of them again." ”
As he said that, Paul drank down the Coke in his hand and took a break.
Lunch at noon was settled at the martial arts school. Lin Nan and Liu There are three mothers at the table.
Liu Xiaoli did get the role of the Queen Mother, which made her very happy. She kept saying: It seems that the foreigner from Lions Gate suggested it.
Shu Chang pushed Liu Yifei quietly, and then the latter remembered something.
"Lin Nan, CCTV seems to be casting for "The Prequel to the Lotus Lantern" over there?"
"Yes."
"You are the director in name only. , can you help me advocate? ”
Shu Chang lowered his head.
Lin Nan finally understood why Shu Chang hesitated along the way.
"Let her talk to me herself.
It must not be her own business, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."
If Shu advocated his own business, She definitely spoke directly.
Shu Chang raised his head, a little embarrassed, "I have a relative who is auditioning, but there is a lot of competition..."
"You want me to say hello?"
Lin Nan had already guessed what it was. , but still asked.
“What role?”
“Nezha.”
Lin Nan really has a headache now. Some people are not familiar with it.
Shu Chang's family environment since she was a child has led her to care about family ties and relationships, but this personality is also the easiest to be hurt.
"It stands to reason that you are not someone looking for a relationship, and you have never spoken to me before. Does it mean you are a relative?" Lin Nan guessed.
Shu Chang nodded and remained silent.
“It’s not an important role, why don’t you help and advocate.”
Liu Yifei said. Liu Xiaoli was speechless.
“I won’t say anything to help you, but if it’s someone else, it’s just this time, not next time.
Also, please keep your schedule for the second half of the year, I have a movie to start Yeah, Yifei knows, I’ll leave you a third girl.”
After thinking for a long time, Lin Nan agreed to help, and told her about "Painted Skin".
Liu Yifei shook Shu Chang and said, "I have read Lin Nan's script. She plays the role of a female monster hunter. It suits you very well."
Liu Xiaoli looked sideways. She had never heard her daughter talk about this matter, and she felt a little disappointed. This damn girl had begun to keep it a secret from herself.
"Well, thank you, brother." Shu Chang smiled.
"I'm convinced, too. If you have something to do, call me brother. If nothing happens, call me Lin Nan."
"Haha..."
"Hurry up and eat." Liu Xiaoli said coldly Said something.
There are some things that Lin Nan doesn't know if he will change because of himself.
Like Liu Yifei, he will do his best to protect.
Like what happened to Shu Chang this time, Lin Nan would also help, but he just hoped that he would not help a wolf cub, otherwise he would not mind...
...
Ning Hao made a phone call and was so excited that he urged Lin Nan to go to Bad Monkey.
He said that he had made an outline of the script and asked Lin Nan to correct it.
I guess it’s almost done, otherwise I wouldn’t be so excited on the phone.
He was in a hurry, maybe just to show off. Lin Nan thought to himself.
When Bad Monkey arrived, before he could take a drink of water, he was dragged into the office by Ning Hao, and Xing Aina was also there.
"Come on, come on, your sister and I made a book. Please read it. Don't mind the name."
With that said, he handed Lin Nan the manuscript prepared on the table.
"Sit and watch slowly, I'll get you some fruit."
Xing Aina got up and walked out.
""Crazy Racing"?!"
Lin Nan's eyes widened instantly, Ning Hao is awesome.
"This book has the same style as "The Stone". We have made several books, and we think this one is the best. Take a look."
Ning Hao urged.
Lin Nan remained silent, quietly turning over the script, and closed it after ten minutes.
“Well, not bad, it tastes right.”
Lin Nan did not hesitate to praise and asked casually. "Then it's decided?"
"Well, that's it. Then, what's the point of calling you here today, haha..."
"Funds?" Lin Nan smiled.
“Yes, I don’t want to go it alone anyway. The risk is too high. Since I want to attract investment, why not come to you?
You will definitely not blindly interfere with the filming or selection of the crew. It’s pretty cool, right? Haha.”
Ning Hao had a really good idea, and he understood Lin Nan.
Xing Aina came in with a fruit plate and said with a smile: "We have discussed that investing in you is the most suitable choice."
"Because I am easy to talk to?"
"No, because of you I can afford the compensation. Even if I lose it, I will still have the nerve to come back to you next time, haha..."
Ning Hao answered quickly.
"You couple are really good at it. How much does it cost?"
"The budget is 10 million, you can give half of it."
Xing Aina added, Ning Hao smiled and said nothing.
"Okay, I'll have someone sign the contract later. You guys can improve the script and send it in as soon as possible."
Lin Nan agreed without any hesitation, and gave a reminder.
These two husband and wife teams, together, are really powerful.
That is to say, Lin Nan has a good relationship with them, otherwise he will take advantage of others.
