Chapter 194 Disaster
“How was the audition?”
Liu Xiaoli asked while driving the car.
There were a lot of people in China Film Academy just now, so she didn’t speak.
"Yes, very good. Lin Nan's script has character biographies, which are very detailed."
"Mom, during the audition, in addition to Director Nolan and Tom, there was also Paul."
When Liu Yifei said this, her tone was very cheerful.
"The one at Lions Gate?"
"Well, it's him."
When Liu Xiaoli heard this answer, she felt relieved instantly.
Both of these people know their daughters. During the audition, their daughters should have an advantage over others.
After Liu Yifei finished speaking, she began to think deeply. She was going to ask Lin Nan to confirm her suspicion.
The car drove all the way to the villa area. Liu Yifei got out of the car and ran to Lin Nan.
Liu Xiaoli parked her car and returned home. As soon as she sat on the sofa and prepared to rest for a while, she saw Liu Yifei running back in panic.
With tears on his face, crying, he shouted anxiously, "Mom, go and see Lin Nan..."
...
In the blur, Lin Nan heard the girl crying, but he couldn't open his eyes and couldn't speak. He didn't know how long it took before he lost consciousness again.
It seemed like a dream. Lin Nan saw many pictures and couldn't tell which ones were real and which ones were fake. It seemed that there were two Liu Yifei across two worlds...
Open again Opening your eyes, you should be in your own bed.
Lin Nan felt weak and exhausted all over his body.
"You finally woke up, wuwu..."
Lin Nan turned his head with difficulty and looked at the door, it was Liu Yifei.
"Are you crying or laughing? But they are both beautiful." Lin Nan said weakly.
“You’re still smiling, you’ve scared me to death these past two days.” Liu Yifei walked up, reached out and touched Lin Nan’s forehead, and then touched her own.
"High fever, low fever for two days, the doctor said you will probably wake up today."
Liu Yifei sat beside the bed and talked about what happened in the past two days.
The whole country is grieving.
All the entertainment industry can do is donate money, and many celebrities want to help locally. That is just adding to the chaos.
Jackie Chan and Ying Huang immediately donated 10 million, which was the largest donation ever.
A large amount of supplies is the most important thing, tents, food and water, medicine, medical kits...
"Yue Jun called you, but you never woke up. I answered the call.
He donated one million in your name, and my mother also donated one million on my behalf..."
“Well, just donate it.”
Lin Nan was very sleepy and wanted to close her eyes unconsciously.
"Sissi, help me get my phone."
"Here."
Lin Nan called Yue Jun.
"Director Lin?"
"It's me. I'll raise another two million in supplies and send them over, counting Liu Yifei's share..."
After a while, Lin Nan hung up the phone and joked: "Sissi, I'll deduct it from your paycheck."
"Yeah. Are you sure I can get the role?" Liu Yifei asked with a smile.
"If you think about it carefully, this character is in his early twenties. Who else in China is more suitable than you?"
Liu Yifei really started to think, she is a fool.
......
Many celebrities began to make additional donations. No one expected that it would be so serious, so that the large number of donations of 100,000 and 200,000 at the beginning seemed small and ridiculous.
Of course, it doesn’t rule out that some people are stingy and just don’t care anymore.
The domestic film industry has been greatly affected. Cinemas across the country have been closed for three days. It is estimated that not many people are interested in going to cinemas.
The box office of "The King of Kung Fu" stopped at 188 million, which did not reach the expected domestic target. However, the overseas market is still growing, and the global box office has reached 100 million US dollars.
According to the investment breakdown of this movie, in fact, the cost has been recovered when it was 70 million US dollars, but now it has not reached the expected profit target.
The film and television industry is working as usual.
Nolan and his team left on the same day after the audition. The results will be announced by China Film Group, and they still have to decide on actors for other roles.
Everyone in the circle was talking about the audition that day and who was the most promising.
Originally, everyone was optimistic about Zhang Ziyi, and the latter was also confident.
But I don’t know who leaked the gossip that two auditioners didn’t like Zhang Ziyi.
The result is now confusing.
There is even news that all those over the age of 30 who auditioned were dismissed on the spot.
No one responded at first, but in the end Li Bingbing calmly answered the reporter’s interview. This statement is true.
Now many actresses who were not dismissed on the spot are excited.
Because during the audition, those who were capable and famous were all thirty or above.
The US$160 million movie tugs at the hearts of all actresses.
Yang Mi was lucky and was not kicked out on the spot. She had been fantasizing from time to time in the past two days, what if, what if she was lucky?
…………
On the 15th, China Film announced the audition results to the outside world through reporters.
Christopher Nolan negotiated with several auditioners and finally chose Liu Yifei.
The reason is very simple: the right age, fluent English, and most importantly, experience in Hollywood movies.
Less than half an hour after the news was announced, it spread all over the Internet.
The happiest people are Liu Yifei’s fans.
"Why is it her again?" Although it has become a foregone conclusion, fans of other female celebrities are still unwilling to accept it.
Many actresses also have this mentality.
"It's really her? She can easily get what others are fighting for. Why?"
Yang Mi looked at the news online and was very reluctant.
She thought of the fat foreigner who greeted Liu Yifei that day.
Apparently they knew each other before, when they were filming "Journey to the Center of the Earth."
“It’s really one step ahead, step by step...”
From the crew of "Nanjing", Jiang Yiyan also looked stunned. Did Lin Nan help Liu Yifei? She really doubted that 5% investment could really affect the casting?
……
After two days of rest, Lin Nan regained some energy.
The doctor’s diagnosis was a fever with no cause.
Only Lin Nan knows in his heart that thinking too much and worrying too much can really lead to anxiety.
Liu Xiaoli looked at the performance contract in English in her hand and nodded with satisfaction.
"Will you join the cast next month?"
"Well, Lin Nan has other things to do later, so the crew will start filming in advance."
"Then I will Prepare your luggage in advance," Liu Xiaoli said.
Over the years, she has become accustomed to being by her daughter's side, just like when she performed, the only person waiting backstage was the seven or eight-year-old Liu Yifei.
In her life, she only has the daughter in front of her.
"Mom, can I go with the assistant this time?"
"No." Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter's pitiful look and refused.
Lin Nan paid attention to "Insidious 2". In order to turn this originally low-budget horror film into a large-scale production with a cost of 20 million US dollars, Wen Tsairen added a lot of content and expanded it. The plot.
The result is: the story is bloated, so that there are strong branches and weak trunks, putting the cart before the horse.
It definitely made money at the box office, but the revenue was far less than expected, only over 50 million, and the word-of-mouth response was far worse than the first film.
The Film and Television Association held a large-scale charity fundraising event in the capital.
There were many artists and celebrities present.
It is said to be a public welfare activity, but socializing and greetings are inevitable.
"Director Lin, I heard that you were sick two days ago?"
Huang Xiaoming came over. He donated two thousand tents this time, which were urgently needed supplies.
"Well, I had a fever for two days, and I have just recovered a little in these two days. Are they really so critical?"
Lin Nan couldn't help but ask.
Actors' salaries haven't increased yet. An episode of a TV series costs several thousand yuan, ten thousand to twenty thousand, and they donate more than ten or two hundred thousand. It makes sense that this is a few months and half a year's salary. After all, The brokerage company will also take half.
But Feng Xiaogang and his wife, Chen Kaige and his wife, are too much, as are Jia Zhangke and Wang Xiaoshuai...
One hundred thousand, one hundred and twenty thousand, fifty thousand, thirty thousand, how did you get all these?
Huang Xiaoming smiled awkwardly. He had donated over one million, but when he saw other people’s data today, he was also shocked.
There are many big guys in the industry that are really hard to describe.
There are not many people who have donated seven figures. If I count, I, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Benshan, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Zhang Manyu...
The most powerful ones , or Mr. Shao Yifu, 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Director Lin, it's really hard to talk about this matter. After all, there is no priority in showing love..."
Huang Xiaoming looked at the faces in the distance and whispered.
"Yes, regardless of the importance, but why is it so dazzling to look at."
Lin Nan shook his head and said something.
Huang Xiaoming did not answer the call.
Liu Yifei, wearing a black hat and uniform white short-sleeves, was being interviewed and was in a very low mood.
Many female artists look at Liu Yifei with more or less envy in their hearts. Sure enough, as long as she has her first Hollywood movie, the rest will be much smoother.
Wang Zhonglei came over at some unknown time.
"Director Lin, when will you join the group?"
"Next month."
"Yes. We are going to start preparations for "The Wind" in the second half of the year. Let's talk to Director Lin first."
"If I am not in the country, Mr. Wang can have someone go and contact Yue Jun."
< br>Lin Nan replied.
"Haha, Director Lin has dug a rare talent from Qingying Film Studio."
"Does Mr. Wang have anything else to do? No need to beat around the bush."
Lin Nan was a little impatient. His body had not fully recovered yet. He was too lazy to talk to Wang Zhonglei. It was too energy-consuming.
“I wonder if Director Lin will consider transferring the share he holds?”
“What did you say?” Lin Nan asked uncertainly.
"Do you consider transferring Director Lin's share of "Inception"? Huayi can give you a generous price."
Wang Zhonglei smiled like a fox, Huayi It will be launched soon. If you can become the producer of "Inception", it will definitely be beneficial and harmless.
"Mr. Wang, do you think I'm a fool?"
Wang Zhonglei was stunned for a moment, "How could Director Lin say that."
"Why don't you ask Director Han, ask China Film and Television "What about whether the 15% is transferable? If it's inconvenient, I can transfer it on your behalf."
Lin Nan said angrily. Without waiting for Wang Zhonglei's reaction, he turned around and walked in the other direction.
Watching Lin Nan's walking figure, Wang Zhonglei's face darkened. Looking for Han Sanping? That is no different than seeking death.
I’ve only heard of China Film Co., Ltd. plucking other people’s wool. Who dares to stroke a tiger’s beard?
Why "Iron Man" was released on April 30th? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is China Film's attempt to beat Huayi.
To be more precise, this is Han Sanping beating Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei.
