Chapter 156 The new play of the great directors, Wu Ershan
There are rumors flying around outside.
Huang Xiaoming, Jiao Enjun, Zeng Li, Chen Minghao and Mei Ting were all photographed going to Lin Nan's company one after another. This does not include the two small artists of the Rays.
Coupled with the news released by Hua Yi about the number one female lead.
The media boldly speculated that the casting of the main actors for "Painted Skin" has been completed.
Out of politeness, Lin Nan asked Lao Jiang to send a message to the teacher in the acting department who recommended Zhao Yanzi, and replied that he already had a more suitable choice.
"He has already chosen someone. There is nothing we can do about this. If you still have ideas, why not go to your mentor and see if Director Tian can say a few words."
"Forget it then, it will save Director Lin a hard time."
Zhao Yanzi mainly wanted to make friends with Lin Nan this time, but the other party did not give him a chance and rejected both Chen Kun and himself at once. personal.
My graduate tutor also said that Tian Zhuangzhuang was not interested in anything, so he refused on the spot, saying that he would not interfere with his students' creations.
Xing Aina went to the film bureau to submit a new script, and major film companies immediately focused on Ning Hao.
There are not many commercial film directors in China now. After "Stone", Ning Hao finally started a new film.
Bad Monkey’s phone was almost fried, and so was Ning Hao’s personal phone.
Xing Aina accepted an interview with reporters and revealed some script information.
"Commercial film, comedy, movie title "Crazy Racing"..."
When I hear the name, I think of "Stone".
There is a heated discussion on the Internet. During this period, all major directors are busy working on movies.
Chen Kexin's "Report" and Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" have just been completed, Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff", Lin Nan's "Painted Skin", Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing", Lu Chuan's "Nanjing", Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang"...
All the great directors who can be named are working on their works, and only Zhang Yimou is working on the Olympics, otherwise it will be absolutely lively.
The market suddenly seemed full of life.
"What? No investment required?"
"Enough funds? Who invested?"
......
Many film companies learned this news from Bad Monkey .
Including the leading state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, Han Sanping made a special call to complain about Lin Nan, and he started really quickly.
"Mr. Han, how can you say that? Director Ning personally asked me to go there.
Yes, I have already selected the actors, and I am just waiting for feedback from the logistics team and the film studio. ”
Lin Nan came here specifically to look at the prop weapons today.
The golden ring knife is the weapon used by the male lead in the movie. Several types were made, ranging from a few kilograms to dozens of kilograms, so that the actors could choose.
The armor of the male, the uniforms and weapons of the soldiers.
The team studied the Chinese style and redesigned it based on the aesthetics needed for the movie.
"Director Lin, the sketches and trial products are all here. You can take your time and look at them. If you are not satisfied, we will modify them."
Lin Nan looked at all the trial products, and there was almost nothing. Big problem.
“That’s it, that’s it.”
The team responsible for styling and makeup design is even more ruthless.
Direct reference to the Han tombs that have been unearthed, including the murals and the costumes of the female corpses in Mawangdui, this is much more realistic than the description in the book...
"Okay, professional enough!"
Lin Nan couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
The finalized design has been approved by Lin Nan and can be handed over to a specialized unit for production.
As soon as everything is ready, including the completion of "Li Mi's Conjecture", the crew can officially announce it to the public.
"Tower of Babel" is released.
Originally, some experts swore that the box office on the first day would be up to five million, but it turned out that the box office reached more than nine million, close to ten million.
You have to know that the pirated version has been out for three months, and it is incredible that the domestic box office can still be so strong.
Han Sanping was scolding: What an expert.
Two days later will be the day when "Buried Alive" will be released. China Film has specially dubbed it in Mandarin for this purpose, and both versions will be released by then.
Looking at it now, the first half of March is dominated by "The Monster from the Han River". If "Buried Alive" doesn't do well in the middle of March, then "Tower of Babel" will kill other movies.
On the 15th, "Buried Alive" was released, and the theater poster had the words "Berlin's Best Silver Bear Director's Work" written in big letters.
Many colleagues are paying attention to "Buried Alive", and everyone wants to know how Lin Nan can win the second Silver Bear Director Trophy.
I heard that this film was intensely discussed by the Berlin jury and ultimately lost to "Tuya's Marriage".
Many students from the Film School went to the cinema, including some teachers from the directing department.
Although the box office of the movie has nothing to do with him, Lin Nan still cares about the results.
On the morning of the 16th, Lin Nan got the data from China Film Group, which showed that the box office on the first day was just over 6 million.
Subsequently this news was also put on the news.
"Lin Zi, you are at a huge loss. You sold 10 million to Mr. Han."
Ning Hao called over immediately, and this was the first thing he said.
"Consider it congratulations to Mr. Han for his upcoming promotion." Lin Nan laughed softly.
Now Ning Hao over there lost his voice, and it took him a while to react.
"I was rash and didn't think too much."
...The media's evaluation of "Buried Alive" was generally good. Lin Nan pretended not to hear the few voices.
In the past year or two, major brokerage companies have been engaged in a "reserve war" for popular niche talents. Especially since the departure of Wang Jinghua, Huayi's artist team has experienced a situation of ups and downs.
Huang Xiaoming, Lu Yi, Deng Chao, Chen Kun and other first-line niche actors have always been the targets of Huayi's competition, and they are very sure of it, because they all appear in Huayi's TV series and movies.
The news that Huayi will sign Huang Xiaoming in April this year was released last year, but in the past two days, there has been news that the signing has been postponed.
And there is an accurate postponement time, which is postponed to August.
“Perhaps Master Huang himself got some film contract and unilaterally postponed the contract to avoid trouble...”
This is hardly stated openly on the Internet.
“It’s almost certain that Master Huang will star in “Painted Skin”, but I don’t know which series?”
“Director Lin’s style has not changed, and indeed he used the style from “The Martian” Actor! "
Fans of Huang Xiaoming are very happy. Movies by such a great director are much better than those TV series.
Wu Ershan met Lin Nan at the coffee shop outside Nortel.
He just joined the Star Gravity Project with the attitude of giving it a try. No director with ideals is willing to spend his life making commercials.
Ning Hao also made commercials, but others walked on multiple legs. What impressed the audience the most was his status as a film director, with his masterpiece "Crazy Stone".
A few days ago, rumors spread about Bad Monkey’s new script filing and the industry’s crazy desire to invest in Ning Hao.
Wu Ershan was lying when he said he was not envious.
Inviting Lin Nan near Nortel is also hoping to get closer to each other.
"Director Lin, please take a seat."
"Hello."
Lin Nan is one of the few good-looking directors. After all, he transferred from the acting department.
Wu Ershan doesn’t look that good anymore, he’s big and thick.
His attitude was very good, just like an interview. He talked about his resume over the years, and then waited for Lin Nan to speak.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. After all, Wu Ershan, who was asking for help, was older than Lin Nan.
I originally wanted to call him Wu Dao, but it always felt weird.
Finally, Lin Nan called out his full name, "Director Wu Ershan, I am currently working on "Painted Skin". If you are willing, you can come to the crew and be my deputy, starting from the assistant director."
He rarely set up this position in the past. After all, he has good energy and does not need help.
But since Liu Dehua has agreed to contribute, he will definitely be attentive.
"I couldn't ask for more. Thank you, Director Lin, for giving me the opportunity..."
Wu Ershan, who was slightly chubby and had small eyes and a funny smile, held Lin Nan's hand and thanked her.
"You have a studio now, right? Wouldn't it be convenient if you were asked to focus on logistics right now?"
Ready-made labor is not used in vain, Lin Nan asked road.
“I opened a studio, but it doesn’t affect me from joining the group now.” Wu Ershan said hurriedly.
"That's good. You can go directly to my company to sign the contract later. You can take a look at the script and creative background first. By the way, help me keep an eye on the logistics team. If you have any good suggestions, you can tell me directly..."
Lin Nan was talking and Wu Ershan was listening, nodding from time to time.
This is originally near Nortel, and there are many students coming and going.
Not long after, word spread about Lin Nan meeting another young director in a cafe.
Wu Ershan’s identity as the selector of the Star Gravity Project was also announced.
"Well, that's right, both of them are from our school..."
The school's attitude is definitely supportive, as if Lin Nan has finally done something serious for his alma mater.
The box office of "Buried Alive" on the second day was only 5 million. It seems that it will continue to decline in the future, but its reputation is very good.
Lin Nan estimates that the box office will be around 30 million when it is released later.
As the saying goes, good things don’t go out, but bad things spread quickly.
Zhang Ziyi, who originally showed a fresh image, began to become more and more dissolute after making a foreign boyfriend.
Who would have known that a semi-nude advertising photo, almost naked, suddenly leaked out on the Internet, and another related advertising photo was placed on a building in the bustling island nation.
“Tsk tsk tsk, it deserves to be an international chapter.”
It has been almost three months since the filming of "Twilight", and Tom sent news that the crew is about to wrap up.
Post-production has been scheduled and it is not expected to take much time. Lin Nan needs to set a release date in advance to coordinate with Lionsgate.
"Just November."
Lin Nan finally chose this time to leave enough time for the film's post-production period and Lionsgate Publishing.
Wu Ershan joined the crew of "Painted Skin" as an assistant director. It was announced by the Star Gravity Project.
In an interview with reporters, Liu Dehua thanked Lin Nan for his support of this newcomer support plan.
“In April and May, when I go to the mainland to shoot "Seeing the Dragon Removes Its Armor", I will definitely go and check out the film directed by Lin Nan..."
Lin Nan was on the phone to Han Sanping, and quietly, the transfer of power was completed within China Film.
In the past, you could call me Mr. Han or Director Han, it didn’t matter, but you have to pay attention to this issue in the future.
"I'm just looking for you. There is a very important meeting in the past two days. You all have to come. The higher authorities must increase support for the film industry, especially you commercial film directors. Favorable policies must be Here we come..."
Lin Nan didn't expect that just a congratulatory phone call would end up causing trouble for herself.
