Chapter 154 Forced to cast in advance
“Lin Nan’s movie only uses mainland actors and discriminates against Hong Kong stars.”
“Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang... none of them have ever used Hong Kong Taiwanese actors and entertainers?”
“The unspoken rule of blockbusters is one on each side!”
The matter of "The Martian" was also revealed, saying that Lin Nan was perfunctory and rejected Hong Kong Island. Young actors.
Film auditions have never been open to Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.
The verbal agreement with Liu Dehua and others to cooperate is just to deal with the media and public opinion, and use it to hype...
...
Such reports continue to appear, It began to spread to the mainland entertainment circle and media.
Lin Nan didn’t even know what went wrong.
Lin Nan really couldn't refute what the media said. The movies he made as a director did not include any actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Looking at other large-scale commercial films, there are more or less a few.
"So, am I stimulating the entertainment industry in Hong Kong?"
I still don't like movies with small investment, so I only choose big movies to start with. Lin Nan feels that these people are Aren't you used to being aloof and have a bad brain?
I originally thought it would be over after talking about it, but it turned out not to be the case.
The topic is becoming more and more popular, and the vast majority of netizens support Lin Nan to ignore those people in Hong Kong Island.
A few people with social status feel that Lin Nan should know the general outline...
"Bullshit, know the general outline."
Lin Nan cursed in Han Sanping's office.
“Actually, we are also in a dilemma. In the past, there was an unspoken rule that there would be male and female protagonists on both sides, and there was nothing we could do about it. Who said that there was no one in China who could handle the box office?
It's a good thing that you can break this unspoken rule. In short, it is inconvenient for the official to express its position. "
What Han Sanping said is very interesting. We support you, but it is not convenient for us to say it. After all, it affects unity.
" "Painted Skin" may have to speed up its plans. They said that I would only use mainland actors. Unfortunately, I actually have non-mainland actors this time, haha. "
Lin Nan smiled wildly, which made Han Sanping interested.
"Who is it? ”
"Let's keep it a secret first. He and I have made an appointment for an interview. He is an actor I like."
"Keep it a secret." Han Sanping shook his head.
When Lin Nan returned to the company, he met Huayi’s people.
"Director Lin, Mr. Wang asked me to bring you a list of actors. You can choose slowly."
Lin Nan took the list and flipped through it. Hua Yi There are quite a few cards in hand.
The big flowers were in the front, and the further back you went, the less famous ones became, but Lin Nan did see a small round face, Zhao Liying.
People from Huayi came forward, "Director Lin, Mr. Wang said that if the movie starts shooting after August, we would like to recommend Li Bingbing."
The corners of Lin Nan's mouth twitched. , I thought it was quite beautiful.
"That may be embarrassing. Originally I planned to put the photo shoot at the end of the year, but you should also know the recent news on the Internet.
In order to avoid suspicion, I found someone who is not from the mainland. The actor has to take care of his schedule, so the shooting time will coincide with "The King of Kung Fu""
Lin Nan returned Hua Yi's roster, "Tell Mr. Wang, for the role of the female lead, I choose Zhou Xun."
The visitor was stunned for a moment, then picked up the roster, "Okay Director Lin, I will tell Mr. Wang the truth." After that, he turned around and left.
Lin Nan did not lie to the other party. "Painted Skin", which was originally planned to be filmed in the second half of the year or even at the end of the year, is really going to be moved forward.
He told Hu Ge and Shu Chang the news.
Cao Baoping responded that there was no problem and "Li Mi's Conjecture" could be finished before the time requested by Lin Nan.
The logistics team began to rush to work. Modeling design, clothing design, weapon design, etc. all received notifications from Lin Nan.
Huang Xiaoming received Lin Nan’s call and drove over.
He had a hunch that it would not be a bad thing for Lin Nan to come to him at this time.
Some netizens are discussing whether Lin Nan's new movie will use some actors from "The Martian".
Also cited as examples, Zhu Yawen's "Warmth Contains Light" and "Return to Youth"; Yan Danchen's "Return to Youth" and "Time and Space Cruise"; Zeng Li and Chen Minghao's "Time and Space Cruise" ” and “The Martian.”
Lin Nan has also seen this gossip, and netizens really guessed it right.
In the past two days, some teachers from Nortel recommended Chen Kun and Zhao Yanzi to him, but he ignored them.
Use Chen Kun? It would be better to use Huang Xiaoming.
As for Zhao Yanzi, it is even more impossible.
When Huang Xiaoming arrived at Lin Nan's company, the employees looked at him like celebrities.
The Leader has become so popular in the past two years, and the TV series' ratings are extremely high. Recently, Xu Wenqiang's appearance in "New Shanghai Beach" is also very handsome.
"I came to see Director Lin and made an appointment."
Huang Xiaoming said to the front desk with a smile.
"Director Lin said, you can go directly to the office."
"Thank you."
...
There was a knock on the door, and Lin Nan called out to come in.
Huang Xiaoming’s iconic smile hung on his face.
"Director Lin, what are you doing for me today?"
"It's a good thing, sit down. Are you here alone?"
"We haven't signed the contract yet, it must be one person."
Huang Xiaoming replied.
Lin Nan never thought of signing Huang Xiaoming. He is a mature artist and needs a lot of film resources to feed him. The price/performance ratio is too low.
"Have you decided to sign Huayi?" "It's agreed."
Lin Nan nodded, thoughtfully, "Then let's postpone the signing for a few months, at least until August. Are there any schedules during this time?"
" Director Lin said, then There must be. If there is a drama contract, it should be no problem to delay the signing of Huayi. Who would be stupid enough to rush to send money to the agency? "
Lin Nan glanced at Huang Xiaoming.
"You can be considered the male lead in my new play. The college even recommended Chen Kun to me, but I thought of you..."
The first sentence Huang Xiaoming heard, The excitement on his face couldn't stop, but after hearing Chen Kun's name, he calmed down.
"But you have to work hard this time. The second male lead is very strong and can easily steal the limelight from the first male lead. In fact, the second male lead's role is only slightly less than that of the first male lead."
"Lin "Won't the director tell me something?"
"No, it's a surprise. You'll find out when we meet." Lin Nan chose to remain silent.
......
Lin Nan was also caught off guard. The original plan was disrupted, so he could only confirm and sign the actors in advance.
Guangguang recommended two people to play small supporting roles, Xie Nan and Liu Yan.
Lin Nan was really shocked.
"I remember you guys seem to be hosts, are you planning to change careers?"
"Director Lin was joking, it's a part-time job at most." Xie Nan spoke eloquently and took the lead.
“Let’s work part-time as long as you work part-time. In the future, you will have multiple options. When you were on the field, Ning Hao was full of praise for you.”
"Haha, Director Ning is so flattering."
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yan and said, "The same goes for you inside the lighting department, asking a newcomer to interview Director Kai Ge..."
"Director Lin's words are too serious. , the company is very good, this is training and training for me.”
Liu Yan’s words are beautiful.
After the two left, Yinghuang called.
Lin Nan was found out by the Hong Kong media as to why he was causing trouble.
What the news said is that on one hand, it is also because of the "Ip Man" incident that Yinghuang's competitors are causing trouble.
“It’s true that the little devil in the temple is strong and the water is shallow and there are many bastards.”
Yang Shoucheng promised to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
The news in the industry comes one after another, and Lin Nan’s new movie is relatively big.
Zhang Ziyi is not a little girl over there, and the identity of her new boyfriend has been exposed.
Good guy, this is Ivy Nevo, the major shareholder of Warner, a Hollywood film and television tycoon, who takes her to frequent Hollywood high-end drinking parties.
Everyone on the Internet is saying that Zhang Ziyi is a scheming person.
Though she has been in the industry for 7 years, all the boyfriends she has met are important promoters of her career. No wonder she is the one who has gone the furthest in her class.
In the level 96 group, the discussion started again.
"Dalizi, Minghao, don't you believe Director Lin's new play?"
A female profile picture flashed out.
"It shouldn't be my fault, I'm rehearsing a play recently." Chen Minghao said.
"The information on the Internet is quite accurate. I heard that Huang Xiaoming from Nortel went to Lin Nan's company."
"Well, it should have nothing to do with us. I heard that it is an invitation-only system. , do any of you have any ideas? ”
Zeng Li made a rare appearance in the group and asked.
......
Lin Nan looked at the current staff, and there was only one missing female lead, Pei Rong, who plays Mrs. Wang Sheng.
This role is quite difficult to choose. It has to match the actor who has been selected, and it also has to be able to show the character's gentleness, kindness, and willingness to sacrifice oneself to protect her husband. It has to be someone with acting skills. Just fine.
When he makes this movie, he will not allow the kind of competition for roles that happened in the original time. The heroine is the heroine, and the female supporting character is the supporting female character.
Xiao Wei, played by Zhou Xun, is the female lead, while Wang Sheng’s wife is the second female lead.
Since he agreed to Liu Dehua's participation in the Star Gravity Project, Lin Nan could not avoid this matter during the filming of "Painted Skin".
He called Liu Tianwang, who would have someone send the list to Lin Nan. As for who to choose, it was entirely up to Lin Nan.
The news that Lin Nan's movie "Painted Skin" will cooperate with the Star Gravity Project quickly hit the Internet.
Many companies in the industry are waiting to see which young director will be supported by Lin Nan.
Anyone who can get this opportunity should be considered extremely lucky.
Forbes released a list of domestic celebrities.
Lin Nan is at the top of the list of cultural celebrities and is the youngest person on the list.
Many acquaintances have sent messages saying that it is a pity that it is not on the rich list, otherwise we would know how much money Lin Nan made last year.
This is very funny. Even if there is a rich list, who can guarantee that what it publishes is correct. This is just a talk after dinner.
Within a few days of March, "Buried Alive" was urgently pulled out for publicity.
The box office of "The Devil Wears Prada" was so good that it knocked many domestic movies to the ground. It is said that the moviegoers are mainly white-collar workers with high consumption levels.
This is an imported movie. One more bite of meat means one less bite of domestic movies.
Han Sanping also wanted Lin Nan to come out and help promote it, but he refused. The movie has already been sold out. Isn't this free prostitution? You don't talk about appearance fees.
The support list for the Star Gravity Project was sent to Lin Nan’s mailbox.
As expected, most of them are directors from the Mainland, and almost all of them came from professional schools, with resumes attached.
Almost all of them are older than Lin Nan, many are over thirty years old and nearly forty years old.
Lin Nan saw someone familiar at first glance, and his eyes instantly became hot.
