Chapter 158 "Crazy Racing" casting, joining the Western Cinema
Zhou Xun and the others set off early to adapt to the shooting environment and travel.
Ning Ying’s people will arrange the food, accommodation and transportation for the crew.
Ning Hao was auditioning actors for "Crazy Racing" and he called Lin Nan over.
The reason is, who made him one of the investors.
Inside the bad monkey.
Lin Nan slumped on the sofa without any image, looking at Ning Hao's script.
In the office next door, Ning Hao and Xing Aina were auditioning. There were many actors waiting in the reception room and outside.
I have to say that the husband and wife team is awesome, and the script has as many as six story clues.
Lin Nan raised his head slightly and could see the "Character Relationship Diagram" on the wall.
"Director Lin."
There were so many people waiting for the audition outside, so Huang Bo was the only one who came to chat with Lin Nan so casually.
"Is it stable?"
"That's necessary."
Huang Bo had a smile on his face.
"I remember you were going to star in "Slam Dunk"?" Lin Nan asked.
"How many scenes does that guy have, can he compare with Ning Hao's leading actor? It can be done in a few days."
There were many actors outside, and they saw Huang Bo and Lin Nan in another room Chatting in an office is quite envious.
The actors invited by Ning Hao are all old faces on the screen. There are no handsome guys or beauties. Well, they really don’t exist.
Xu Zheng got the supporting role in the morning, and so did Wang Xun.
The actors in "Stone" still have a bit of an advantage.
A figure walked in. Lin Nan glanced at it and sat up quickly.
"Senior Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time."
The person who came was none other than Wang Shuangbao, who had collaborated with Lin Nan in "The Blind Shaft".
"Director Lin, it looks like you to me, and it turns out to be you."
Huang Bo quickly gave up his seat and let Wang Shuangbao sit down.
"Which role are you auditioning for this time, senior brother?"
When Lin Nan asked this, Wang Shuangbao smiled, "Just like the character in "The Blind Shaft", the killer, Haha..."
"Oh, I remembered. What did Director Ning say? It should be no problem." Lin Nan smiled.
Wang Shuangbao nodded, "Yes."
After chatting for a while, Wang Shuangbao left.
"Director Lin, how is this senior brother's acting skills?"
"At present, he is much better than Qi."
Lin Nan gave Huang Bo a blow, This is the truth.
Wang Shuangbao is a Peking Opera martial arts actor by profession, and is only a part-time film and television actor. He is already very impressive, but after starring in "The Killing", he became the first choice as a villain actor.
When Ning Hao finished auditioning everyone and came out, he saw Lin Nan and Huang Bo using his computer to read gossip.
There is indeed something wrong with "Red Cliff".
Just a few hours ago, Wu Yusen suddenly announced to the media that the filming of "Red Cliff" would be postponed.
All kinds of news and gossip were flying all over the place.
“Didn’t I invest 600 million yuan? Why are there still problems?”
Xing Ai asked with a shocked look on her face.
"Zhou Runfa didn't negotiate a good price before and gave up. Now that the movie is divided into two parts, there must be trouble. The insurance company didn't think it was right and stopped it." Ning Hao explained.
"I guess China Film Group will increase the deposit." Lin Nan said.
“It’s hard to stop riding a tiger, and you can only go all the way to the dark side.”
The insurance company for this movie is an American company, and it is the only one that can afford insurance for such a big-budget movie. one.
During this period of time, "Red Cliff" has been investing more in order to stabilize the actors. The increase in costs must be guaranteed by the insurance company. The latter believed that the risk was too great and stopped it.
......
When several people gathered for dinner in the evening, Lin Nan got inside information, and China Film Group urgently added a security deposit of two million US dollars.
As for when it can be turned on normally, it is unknown.
"Mad, why can those people from Hong Kong get such a big plate so easily?"
Ning Hao cursed.
"After this time, I guess my memory will slowly grow..."
Lin Nan chewed peanuts and said silently.
"People from the mainland who went to attend the Hong Kong Asian Film Awards are probably cursing their mothers in their hearts right now." Ning Hao thought of something and started complaining again.
This Lin Nan really knows that the South Korean monster movie "Hanjiang Monster" swept the awards, knocking the Golden Lion Award-winning film "Three Gorges Good Man" to the ground and rubbing it on the ground. The former won the best award. Film.
This is very naked.
"By the way, when will Director Lin join the team?" Huang Bo asked curiously.
"China Film and Yinghuang asked me to stay for a few days until I attend their new company's press conference tomorrow."
After watching Liu Yifei, he was about to leave. , who knew that Han Sanping suddenly asked about his itinerary and forced him to wait for two days.
……
The next day, we were in a star hotel in the capital.
China Film Yinghuang Entertainment Agency held its establishment press conference.
There were many reporters on site, including Han Sanping and Yang Shoucheng, and many people from the industry came to support us.
Jackie Chan, Sun Honglei, Yung Zuer, Nicholas Tse and others are all among the first batch of signed artists. The most eye-catching one is Zhao Yanzi, who is scheduled to make an on-site statement today.
Nowadays, the competition for artists between Chengtian and Huayi is in full swing. The company established by Yinghuang and China Film will be able to compete with those two companies from the moment of its birth.
The attention received is not low.
Yang Shoucheng was smiling while being interviewed, and openly said: "Whoever I praise will become famous."
As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into applause, and Han Sanping also added, " Then praise me, haha.”
Some people can do it. Zhao Yanzi’s current contract expires at the end of the year, but it does not prevent her from announcing today that she will join the new company of China Film and Yinghuang.
Yang Shoucheng promised on the spot that he would spend 100 million to support Zhao Yanzi. ……
"Director Lin, "Ip Man" is going very smoothly. The main actors are already in place, but Wang Jiawei seems to be working on this too..."
"It was planned in 2002 That one? "
Yang Shoucheng nodded.
“Is it because he can’t finish it in his lifetime, so others can’t touch this subject?
Does Mr. Ye know that the other party is so domineering? "
Lin Nan looked at Yang Shoucheng and said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, so don't worry. ”
Lin Nan did not attend the reception and left directly after the press conference.
On the way to the airport, he called Liu Yifei.
"I will join the team now, and I can get there in the evening.
After "The King of Kung Fu" is launched, if you encounter problems, you can go to Paul, or Jackie Chan..."
Lin Nan gave a lot of instructions.
I heard Liu Yifei reply emotionally: "It's as if you're gone and never come back. Can't I tell you?"
"It's too far away, I still have to look for you. Both of them.”
"Well, I understand. Remember to call me on time and I will ask Changchang to remind you."
On the plane, Lin Nan was going to take a nap.
After just one glance, I was attracted by the newspaper, which was full of nonsense.
DiCaprio took his new girlfriend Bar Refaeli to meet the girl's parents, and actually announced their engagement at the party.
Lin Nan remembers that last year, DiCaprio and Gisele Bundchen broke up peacefully. It had only been a few months, how could it be so fast?
Besides, is he someone who can get married? It's hard to say whether this 21-year-old girl can survive half a year without being replaced.
Let’s look at another piece of news, but it’s a pity about “Rainbow Cat”.
This is produced by CCTV’s own animation company. When it was removed from the shelves a month ago, it was said to be about program adjustments. At that time, online media reported that it had been reported, but CCTV has not responded.
After waiting for a month, CCTV clearly responded to the report for the first time.
It was really reported that it “involved violence” and was removed from the shelves.
"I'm so speechless."
Lin Nan wanted to curse, but this was on a plane, so he couldn't bear it.
In "Painted Skin" there are scenes of solitary smoke in the desert and tender scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
Originally, Lin Nan planned to move to Hengdian after filming in Zhenbeibao Western Cinema.
But Ning Ying told Lin Nan that Ning Province is very special. It not only has the desert Gobi, but also the south of the Yangtze River.
Especially Yinchuan, known as the City of Thousand Lakes, can perfectly capture the scenery of Jiangnan.
After the inspection team passed by, they also reported this matter to Lin Nan. Ning Ying had a special studio there for filming Jiangnan water towns.
After final consideration, Lin Nan decided to shoot them all here.
People from Ning Ying came to pick him up at the airport. It was their first time cooperating with Lin Nan, and they hoped to continue their cooperation.
Several domestic film groups, to be honest, except for China Film and Shanghai Film Group, which are popular and popular, the other groups are all eating their laurels.
It can be seen from the way in which film and television investments are made that they tend to be conservative and dare not try too much.
The annual output is also limited, sometimes less than one-tenth of that of China Film and Shanghai Film.
The leading actors Huang Xiaoming also drove over in two cars, all dressed in local attire.
I think I’ve been having a lot of fun these days.
Lin Nan asked Ning Ying's people to leave. He, Huang Xiaoming and others will discuss the matter of picking up the wind tomorrow.
"Director Lin, please remember to come to me if there is such a good thing about paid travel in the future."
Wearing big sunglasses and a scarf, Zhou Xun shouted to Lin Nan's car.
"Sister Xun, it's no problem, as long as your salary is reduced..."
Shu Chang next to Lin Nan snorted and laughed.
“What a beautiful thought.” Zhou Xun rolled up the car window as he spoke.
Huang Xiaoming was driving Lin Nan's car. He and Shu Chang were sitting in the back, and the co-pilot was Hu Ge.
In order not to delay "Painted Skin", Cai Yinong specifically moved Hu Ge's role in "The Condor Shooting".
The two cars drove all the way towards Zhenbeibao Western Cinema. The closer they got, the more obvious the desert Gobi style became.
“Here, it’s for you.”
Shu Chang took out a bottle of skin cream and handed it to Lin Nan.
"It's windy and sandy, and it's still dry. This is specially reserved for you. We all have it."
As expected of a good-looking person, it's really exquisite.
“Are you still worried that you will be called a yellow-faced woman?” Lin Nan teased.
“That’s not true.” Shu Chang tilted his head and said with a smile.
Entering Zhenbeibao Western Cinema is a completely different world, completely different from Hengdian.
There is a vast atmosphere of the northwest here. No wonder I like to shoot big scenes in these places.
"Dragon Gate Inn, Westward Journey, Wrangler, Moon Gate in Red Sorghum..."
Passing by the filming locations of famous movies, Lin Nan could always tell the names of them.
"Okay, okay, I know you are a great director and I even told you the name of the dish." Shu Chang muttered.
"Director Lin, we have visited all these scenic spots by name in the past few days, and we are just waiting for you to turn on the camera."
Huang Xiaoming answered.
"Yes, Director Wu Ershan is thinking about the work after the start of construction every day."
Hu Ge turned his head and said.
Lin Nan saw the camera hanging on his chest.
This hobby.
"Then choose a date and we will officially start filming."
As new partners, Xiying and Ningying have put in a lot of effort this time.
We invited all the old people from the film studio, so the preparation work for "Painted Skin" could be so efficient and fast.
