Chapter 216 Going to Venice
Lin Nan went to see Han Sanping.
"Director Han, the time has been determined over there. It will be released globally in July.
The import issue needs to be solved by China Film."
According to Nolan According to the email, all special effects and post-production for "Inception" will be completed in April.
The best time is the summer time.
When Han Sanping heard this, he obviously perked up and his face showed joy.
"July is good.
I will notify the following to reserve a quota for imported films. You can ask the companies over there to send people to sign the contract."
Han Sanping Arranged in an orderly manner and glanced at Lin Nan again.
"By the way, the post-production of "Hunting" has been completed. Have you not considered the next project? Don't be lazy while you are young."
"I will consider it when the equipment and people come back."
After deciding on "Inception" with Han Sanping, Lin Nan left China Film.
The school is already calling him to go to a meeting.
This year’s undergraduate art exam and postgraduate re-examination coincided with each other.
After all, the former has three rounds of interviews plus a written examination for professional courses, so it is inevitable that the time will overlap.
Again, whether the film school has winter vacation or not, there is almost no visible change.
Even if there is a change, there are more people.
"Hello, Senior Lin Nan."
A crisp greeting came, and Lin Nan saw a familiar face.
"Jiao Junyan, you are in your senior year now. You are still hanging around in school. How many plays have you acted in?"
Lin Nan still had an impression of this girl. After all, he saw this girl during the art exam. As for the name, the first thing that comes to my mind is Jiao Enjun.
The fact is that the two have nothing to do with each other.
"I haven't acted in any of them. I'm not in a hurry. Although they started filming early, I have a good foundation in school..."
I still have my own ideas, which is very important in movies. The academy is rare.
"Okay, then you lay the foundation slowly. I have to go to a meeting."
"Senior Lin Nan, goodbye."
…………
Previously Lin Nan I mostly walked around the offices of the Directing Department and the Performance Department. Today I entered the school's large conference room for the first time.
He and Lao Jiang sat in the back, listening to the school leaders arranging the process of the art exam and postgraduate re-examination.
After hearing the end, Lin Nan was stunned.
He was not subdivided into the directing department. Instead, he followed several associate professors for the first half of the interview that did not involve professional knowledge, which meant that he wanted to meet every candidate for the interview.
"Lao Jiang, don't you want to play like this?"
"Originally Director Tian didn't agree with it, but the school leader said that this would give full play to your 'value'."
“It’s too much.”
"This last time, just think of it as a contribution to your alma mater. Don't be late after the new year." Lao Jiang warned.
The meeting ended quickly. Many people greeted Lin Nan and left.
Although it is a holiday, many of these teachers and professors have "part-time jobs" and it is impossible to take a break.
"The Wind" held a press conference.
The leading actors met the public for the first time.
The media is reporting that this is the second time that Lin Nan and Hua Yi have interacted in a movie. The first time was "Journey to the Center of the Earth".
About the script of "The Wind", the rumor that the roles of the characters have been increased, decreased and restored again. I don't know how it got out.
The rumors on the Internet are getting worse and worse, and it is almost enough to write a twenty-episode TV series.
The creative team flatly denied this, but Lin Nan heard that Wang Zhonglei had hired several employees.
On the other hand, after "Racing" earned 12 million on the first day, it earned 9 million and 8 million respectively on the second and third days.
Online reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, but it’s already approaching New Year’s Eve, and the box office will definitely see a significant decrease.
Liu Yifei read a recipe book all morning.
Lin Nan sat opposite her with a dark face. Whenever the girl looked at him, Lin Nan shook her head firmly.
Just as the two people were "contacting" their eyes, Lin Nan's phone vibrated.
"Who is it?" Liu Yifei asked.
"Unfamiliar number. Hello, who is this?"
"Director Lin, it's me..."
…………
More than half an hour later, Lin Nan opened the door Get in the car and get ready to go out.
“Are you back for dinner?”
Liu Yifei asked while standing outside the car window, like a little daughter-in-law.
“Come back.”
Driving all the way to the destination, a high-end teahouse.
Lin Nan didn’t know whether Li An came to see him specially or just dropped by.
But since others kindly invited him, he would come.
"Director Lin Nan, take a seat."
In addition to Li An, there is also a waitress making tea in the box.
After Lin Nan sat down, the waiter withdrew.
"Director Lin's "Hunting" has been completed?"
Hearing this sentence, Lin Nan seemed to understand something.
"It's finished. Is Director Li talking to me about this?"
"Yes, I have met with many domestic directors in the past few days. They either don't have suitable films, or they have already decided to go to Cannes. .
Director Lin’s graduation work is my last thought, haha. "Venice?" Lin Nan muttered.
He had thought about Cannes before. The invitation letters from Cannes a few years ago were all sent to the school.
But now Li An came to invite him personally, which made Lin Nan feel that the hospitality was hard to refuse.
After all, when it comes to age, qualifications, achievements, and reputation, the other party is the senior in every aspect.
"Okay, then I will go to Venice this year, hoping for a good result."
After thinking about it again and again, Lin Nan made a promise.
“Haha, okay, thank you very much, Director Lin.”
Li An held up the tea cup, and the two of them exchanged a greeting.
More than an hour later, the two of them walked out of the teahouse side by side and left separately.
The meeting between the two directors cannot be hidden from the media.
By the time Lin Nan got home, the news had spread online.
“Director Li An meets with Director Lin Nan, will it be a collaboration?”
"Two major directors met in a teahouse, the specific reason is unknown..."
...
Netizens sometimes react faster than the media.
“One is the chairman of this year’s Venice Film Festival, and the other has a new movie, what else could it be!”
Many acquaintances came to ask Lin Nan, and he answered truthfully.
In less than half a day, this matter spread throughout the circle.
In the eyes of many older generation filmmakers, going to film festivals is the only orthodox thing, especially for Nortel students like Lin Nan, who have a well-established career.
But there are more opinions, because since the Golden Rooster Award that year, Lin Nan has never participated in any domestic film festival with his works.
Many people remembered what Lin Nan and Ning Hao said on the red carpet of the Golden Rooster the year before last.
"Golden Lion and Golden Bear may be simpler and easier!" This is very ironic.
On New Year's Eve, Shu Chang came to have dinner again.
"My small studio is okay. It's quite comfortable to be my own boss."
Shu Chang and Liu Yifei are very similar. They usually have no desires and desires, so they can play with it.
On TV, there is Zhao Benshan's sketch "Not Short of Money", which is already nurturing new talents.
The next day, all major media outlets were full of news about the Spring Festival Gala.
Zhao Benshan's apprentice became famous all over the country overnight.
Lin Nan was looking through the text messages from yesterday morning. There were hundreds of them, all of which were New Year greetings.
I was stuck in time and sent a lot of messages. Jing Tian’s text message was the first one. It looked like she was spending the New Year on the set.
The second one is Huang Xiaoming, then Zhang Yi, Hu Ge, Yang Mi...
…………
"No, they have no acting skills at all. I don't agree to use these people."
"We are a commercial film, making money and box office are the first priority.
He is very popular now, popular all over the country If he plays the role, it will only be good for the box office, and the other party has agreed that as long as he can join our crew, the salary will be a trivial matter..."
"It still doesn't work, I have to be responsible for the movie. , even if I used new people, I would find them in professional schools. What can I do with this kind of people?”
…………
After New Year's Eve, the daily box office of "Racing" began to rebound, earning 55 million in its first week.
Looking back at "Under the Red Cliff", it is already a bit exhausted.
As the media and netizens have previously asserted, not to mention surpassing "If You Are the One" and "The Martian", even the box office of "Red Cliff" failed to catch up.
The producer may not want to struggle anymore, and chose to cancel the film after the box office reached 260 million.
As for whether the two "Red Cliff" movies combined will make money or support, only the producers know.
Over the past year, the most sensational thing in the film and television industry has come from new scenes.
Zhang Weiping held a media meeting to announce Zhang Yimou's new movie.
“We will use Xiao Shen Yang, who shined in the Spring Festival Gala, and members of the Zhao family class. This is a new attempt.
The script is now ready, adapted from the famous foreign film The movie "Blood Labyrinth" will take several months to start filming, and other actors need to be selected, and the filming location and crew preparation will take time..."
For a moment, all the actors in the circle turned their attention to it.
The new film mentioned a few months ago has finally been announced.
When Lin Nan saw the news, he couldn't help but want to laugh. "Three Guns" is about to be released.
No need to guess, this was definitely Zhang Weiping’s idea. I used Jay Chou before, but this time I used Xiao Shen Yang, who understands traffic.
The art exams for Nortel and China Opera started at the same time.
Both colleges were crowded with tens of thousands of candidates.
Lin Nan was called back to prepare for the re-examination for graduate school.
Many candidates looked at Lin Nan as if he were a rarity. You should know that Lin Nan had participated in every art exam before, and he was also included in this year's brochure.
"Will Director Lin Nan not participate in the art exam interview this year?"
Many candidates who didn't pay much attention to the news asked each other.
"Director Lin will not participate in the undergraduate art exam this year. Instead, he will serve as an examiner for the postgraduate re-examination."
An undergraduate student who maintained order at the scene explained.
A stack of information was handed to Lin Nan. These were the resumes of all the students who were going to take the retest today.
"Lin Nan, you have to be more careful today.
You are young. During the interview, ask questions of your peers.
Our art school should be more active..."
The update time in the future will be changed, and it will be updated at 8:30 pm at the latest.
