Chapter 226 Soft Science Fiction, Lin Nan’s Script
“Does he really dare to play? You can’t waste money like this!”
“I admit, Lin Nan’s first time Being a director is an immediate success.
But he doesn’t think that it’s enough just to be an individual, right?”
……
The most intense discussions are among various film and television companies.
It was almost one-sided, not optimistic about Lin Nan's behavior.
After the news spread, the most enthusiastic ones were students from the directing departments of three art academies.
The biggest problem faced by every newcomer who wants to make a movie is the financing of the first movie.
Guo Fan, who signed a contract with Lin Nan Pictures, is the envy of everyone.
"Is what they said true?"
Han Sanping returned to China Film and asked his secretary.
"It's true. Director Lin gave the newcomer 10 million to make a science fiction film, soft science fiction."
Han Sanping nodded. In China, 10 million is still no problem to make soft science fiction. of.
Especially Lin Nan now has Tiangong’s color scheme, which can effectively reduce costs.
"Director Han, do we want to ask?"
"No, don't you see? He is not trying to make money, he is just training new people.
That's what he can do A lot of people are jealous about this, right?”
“Haha, you’re right, many old people in the industry say it’s better to invest in them.”
“Everyone. If you want to eat shit, let them make a literary film?
If it were me, I would rather lose a few movies and raise a commercial film director..."
——
Lin Nan got the news that Zhou Yi's "Bao Sangu Gaiden" was sold at a loss .
Three TV series, two produced independently and one co-produced.
The reason for the joint production was that they couldn't sell the products at a high price and lost money. >
"This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for them."
"Then do I want to test it again?"
Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun and nodded.
"Either sell the whole thing to us, invest or buy shares, don't consider it.
But I estimate that the probability of her agreeing will not exceed 30%. Just ask, and just give it as a She is under psychological pressure..."
After saying this, Lin Nan felt a little cruel.
On the other side, Huawei held a grand launch conference for "Tongtian Empire".
In addition to the presence of actors such as Liu Dehua, Liu Jialing, and Li Bingbing, a series of designed products such as final makeup photos, weapons, and armors were also displayed.
The Xuke team may have wanted to show off, but the result was counterproductive. Many people complained afterwards.
Especially the makeup, distribution, and armor.
Although the Japanese learned the culture of the Tang Dynasty, the things after processing by the Xuke team were obviously more biased towards the island country.
In the end, I could only explain that it was a movie after all, so some "processing" must be done, but the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty could still be vaguely seen!
The word "vaguely" is used very well.
“This is not a simple historical subject, it can also lean towards magic and fantasy.”
Xu Ke set the tone for the film and emphasized that it can be The subject of a series. ……
Since "Painted Skin", Lin Nan and Wu Ershan have not had much contact.
The latter continues to work in his old business, advertising films.
I came to Lin Nan today, which made the latter a little confused.
"Director Lin, thank you very much for letting me join the crew of "Painted Skin".
Star Gravity has agreed to film my first commercial film."
Wu Ershan seemed very happy, and it seemed that he really came to express his gratitude.
"Congratulations, what kind of movie is it?"
"An avant-garde martial arts comedy."
Lin Nan heard about the "avant-garde" three With just one word, you know it will definitely be over.
What is an avant-garde film? It is an abstract film that does not care about the storyline and only focuses on the visual effects.
This kind of movie has basically no box office potential.
"Then I wish you success." Lin Nan said.
Wu Ershan was hesitant, and finally said:
"Director Lin, actually I have something to do here today.
It was when I was on the set, You said that if "Painted Skin" does well at the box office, a sequel will be made..."
If Wu Ershan didn't mention this, Lin Nan would really forget it.
He had promised the other party that if he made a sequel, he would also look for Wu Ershan.
“Now that I think about it, a sequel is going to happen, but it may be a bit uncertain this year.” Lin Nan said with a smile.
Wu Ershan looked surprised.
"Director Lin, I hope you can give me a chance during this period of time..."
...
More than two hours later, Wu Ershan left.
Lin Nan was alone in the office, a little impressed by this man's courage.
He actually recommended himself.
I also made my own color and composition analysis of fantasy-themed movies, which is very detailed and has its own characteristics.
But Lin Nan did not agree and only said that he would consider it.
I don’t know what prompted Wu Ershan to make such a rash request.
"You won't be affected by my investment in new people making movies, right?"
Lin Nan smiled and shook his head. There are still too few people in the industry who are willing to train new directors.
His investment in Guo Fan may have misled many people, thinking that he would be easy to talk to, but he must be one of his own.
"But it reminds me that "Painted Skin 2" really has to be put on the schedule, and the series should not be separated for too long."
…………
"Wolverine", "Interstellar" "Trek" and "Fast 4", three consecutive Hollywood blockbusters have landed in the domestic market. Let many domestic movies feel the depressing atmosphere again.
Judging from the data on the Internet, it is exactly these three movies that are carving up 90% of the mainland's movie market.
The remaining dozen domestic films will share the remaining 10%.
When Han Sanping went to the film bureau meeting, he took out Lin Nan's graduation thesis and talked about this issue.
Different occasions and different people think differently.
A group of big guys actually held several meetings on the topic of "film industrialization".
Because of our own market, it is not a problem for outsiders to always take advantage of us.
However, the final conclusion made a group of people very pessimistic.
The existing film industry is not yet perfect, and the infrastructure is not universal. Only when these things are completed in the past two years can we consider the issue of film industrialization.
"Your paper is very good. When doing industrial planning later, the bureau will learn from it. Bureau Tong asked me to tell you."
After Han Sanping came back, he met Lin Nan.
“That’s no problem, it’s for the sake of the industry.”
"You are quite willing. The script is good, it would be a pity to give it to a newcomer." Han Sanping smacked his lips and complained.
Lin Nan's eyes widened and he looked at Han Sanping with question marks in his eyes.
“Haha, I took a look when I was going to the meeting.”
This is completely cheating!
“Director Han, you are operating illegally.”
""Source Code", a good name, very science fiction, but unfortunately it is a soft science fiction."
Han Sanping ignored Lin Nan's words and kept talking to himself.
"Let me remind you, because of "The Martian", the bureau will take special care of your science fiction film.
The screenwriter of "Source Code" is also you. At this moment It should have been reviewed..."
This news is a bit scary, it has been less than a week since the full package was handed in.
——
Han Sanping did not lie to Lin Nan.
On the official website of the Film Bureau, "Source Code" is among the new batch of reviewed scripts.
The media is rushing to report it.
""Source Code", a science fiction film (soft science fiction), screenwriter: Lin Nan!"
Screenwriter: Lin Nan!
These four words are very powerful.
The industry has never thought that Lin Nan would personally provide a script to a newcomer.
This is a gamble with reputation. If the bet fails, it will only affect Lin Nan's reputation.
It turned out that everyone guessed wrong, he really did it!
"If it is Director Lin's script, it is really possible. At least there will be no compensation..."
Whether the director is a newcomer or not, at least Lin Nan's script is trustworthy, and the story or creativity will definitely not It will be disappointing.
There are so many interesting agencies and actors all of a sudden.
Even Wang Changtian has a toothache. He should have asked clearly at the beginning, but he was careless.
“A qualified director must not only be able to direct a play, but also be able to select actors.”
This is what Lin Nan told Guo Fan.
There should be many people who want to audition for "Source Code". He will not interfere in the casting, leaving it all to Guo Fan.
......
Ning Hao is back with the crew of "No Man's Land".
It spanned the Gobi Desert in several provinces and lasted two months.
When Lin Nan arrived at Bad Monkey, he didn't recognize him at first glance. His skin was dark and rough.
“For those who don’t know, I think you have been fleeing for a few months.”
“It’s no different from fleeing. Director Ning almost killed me.” Huang Bo said with some fear.
“Is it such an exaggeration?”
“I lost eighteen kilograms, Xu Zheng lost twenty-three kilograms, and Ning Hao lost eight kilograms.
The worst thing is Yu Nan. Look, she is a nice girl, but now she is dark, thin, and has a small heart, haha..."
Huang Bo is not doing anything right, and Yu Nan next to him is just grinning. He smiled and said nothing. Xing Ai hadn't seen Ning Hao in the past two months, and he was very considerate now.
He was eating and drinking.
After sitting there for a long time, Lin Nan and Huang Bo wanted to leave.
Xing Aina's eyes were filled with anger, and she probably wanted to pull Ning Hao back home quickly.
"Hey, don't leave yet, let me discuss something with you."
Ning Hao pulled Lin Nan and said.
"Then let's go first." Huang Bo and others smiled and left.
“What happened?”
"I want to let you do the post-production work and try out those baby bumps of yours, hehe."
"Director Ning, you don't look very good, but you think quite beautifully." Lin Nan said jokingly .
"Just say yes."
"Okay, that's all. Let me go quickly, that sister has been staring at me for a long time."
Xing Ai He was a little embarrassed and smiled, "What are you talking about? Come back another day. I want to take him back to see my son."
Lin Nan forcefully broke away from Ning Hao's hand and ran away.
"Let's go, Director Ning."
"Can you let me go? It's been very windy and sunny these two months, so I need to slow down for a while..."
"Haha, what do you think?"
——
Tom called.
“Except for the movie for Crystal, we will exclusively produce it.
In addition, I have already negotiated with Paul that Lionsgate and Crystal Pictures will jointly produce it. "
"Yes, for the one with high cost, you really need to find someone to share the risk, and Lions Gate is a good choice."
Lin Nan said with certainty.
