Chapter 239 Venice
The filming of "Super Body" has begun to wrap up.
Tom has already taken people to Venice in advance.
News from the country came through.
Huabiao officials understand Lin Nan's absence and hope that he will continue to contribute to the domestic film industry and achieve success in Venice.
"The only one who can be so easy to talk to is Huabiao sponsored by the General Administration. The Children's Bureau is optimistic about you.
It's impossible for you to count on golden roosters and hundred flowers. The association has the final say over there."
Han Sanping told Lin Nan that although he could not attend Huabiao, his character plaque and personal honors resume would still be displayed at the party.
"These are no problem. However, Director Han, I have to tell you the truth. I will not stay with the Film Association anymore."
Han Sanping on the other end of the phone was stunned for a few seconds. , sighed.
"It's up to you. Those people are indeed a bit too much. They are of such an age and they are still being labeled like that..."
Although Han Sanping is the boss of China Film Group, in the association, it is based on seniority. He He really had no say, let alone a young man like Lin Nan.
The end of the month is getting closer and closer. In order to ensure that the filming of "Super Body" is completed before the last day, the filming work of "Super Body" has become intensive.
During the day, Lin Nan almost stayed on the set, and Liu Yifei was getting better and better while filming.
The crew are not fools.
Before the movie started, Tom from Crystal Pictures was very...pleasant with this girl.
Now everyone basically understands why.
Cake, snacks, and a bowl of longevity noodles.
The birthday was very simple, just celebrated in the villa, with only four people including the assistant.
“Here, try it.”
Liu Yifei knows that Lin Nan can cook.
Relatively speaking, she is a "freeloader" in this regard.
"Hehe, I'm starting."
Liu Xiaoli was cutting the cake on the side. She looked at the lively Liu Yifei with a touch of warmth on her face.
My daughter’s stubbornness at first seems to be correct now. She is luckier than she once was.
…………
Today is Liu Yifei’s last scene, and it is also the last fight scene between man and god.
“action.”
Lin Nan decided to direct this scene himself, and the director readily agreed.
On the monitor, there is a scene in the corridor. Liu Yifei has a cold face, without a trace of human emotion, highlighting a decisive and decisive approach...
...
Perhaps it was because of Lin Nan's directing. Liu Yifei tried hard not to make any mistakes. In the past, she sometimes failed.
One passed, very good.
“cut.”
With Lin Nan’s soft cry, more than a month of filming for “Super Body” was officially announced to be over.
"Everyone, "Super Body" has been completed.
Crystal Pictures will hold a cocktail party to celebrate, please remember to arrive on time."
Cheers and thanks came one after another. In Hollywood, the cocktail party It is an indispensable link after the film is completed.
"How was my photo taken?" Liu Yifei asked with a smile.
“Very good, let’s take a day off and then we’ll set off.”
"Yeah, okay." The girl nodded lightly.
......
Just when Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and others were preparing to leave for Venice.
In China, the Huabiao Awards party has begun.
Although Lin Nan did not arrive, he still had his prize.
"Outstanding Director Contribution Award!"
This gave Lin Nan a headache. Although Huabiao does not have high gold content, it is indeed more tolerant than Golden Rooster and Baihua.
This also shows that Huabiao didn't take Lin Nan's absence to heart at all. To them, it was a trivial matter.
It’s just people from the association who went online to find trouble.
"Why don't we treat Tong Ju to a meal this time? Well, it's best to have it at China Film Studio." Lin Nan muttered in his heart.
It was Han Sanping who came on stage to accept the award on Lin Nan's behalf and delivered an acceptance speech.
"Director Lin Nan asked me to accept this award on his behalf.
As everyone knows, his "Hunting" needs to be screened in Venice, so he has to prepare in advance. He is also very grateful to Huabiao... ”
Han Sanping is very thoughtful.
“It’s a personal relationship again.”
Lin Nan smiled and shook his head. Unknowingly, his interpersonal relationship had reached this point.
There are many people who want to beat him, and there are also many people who want to help him...
The last day of August.
Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, her daughter, assistant, and Matt Damon flew to Venice.
Everyone is very excited.
The voyage was not far, and five hours later, the group landed in Venice.
Tom was waiting to be picked up early.
"Lin, the promotional venue and screening room are ready and can start at any time."
"Well, let's go back to the hotel first. Let's take a rest and go to the film festival to sign in officially in the afternoon. ."
"Okay."
...
In the afternoon, there was an additional film "Hunting" in the huge exhibition hall of the film festival.
Li An called specifically because he was the chairman of the jury and was really not suitable to meet in person, so he only expressed his welcome on the phone.
Film producers always like to chase big directors and famous directors, and Lin Nan meets their requirements.
This was also here last time, when he sold "The Martian."
Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei took their assistants to visit the screening room.
Whether it is Liu Yifei or the young Liu Xiaoli, they are both artistic young women at heart.
Venice is just right for them.
"Oh, God. Lin, we meet again. This time you finally brought your work to Venice for competition."
Lin Nan was a little dumbfounded, twice in Berlin and once in Venice. This is the fourth time.
"Are you going to buy my copyright this time? Haha..."
"Lin, I will only become more and more unable to afford your movies. Who knows that I am a small film producer. However, I still want to wish you the best." You can successfully win the prize..."
"Thank you, you can go to the screening room of "Hunting" later."
As he spoke, Lin Nan handed over a ticket. He is only planning to show "The Hunt" five times, no more.
It didn’t take long for Sina’s reporter to find Lin Nan. Now that he can be considered one of his own, Lin Nan accepted the interview very cooperatively.
Soon, the domestic news was updated.
“The Hunt appeared at the Venice Film Festival and was favored by a large number of film producers.”
“Director Lin made his first expedition to Venice, and The Hunt is quite popular...”
Many people in the industry have turned their attention.
…
It’s like hell.
Lin Nan saw Huang Bo. The guy was blinking at him, and goosebumps instantly appeared on his skin.
"Director Lin, you are not so surprised to see me, are you? Come on, give me a hug, haha."
"Why are you here?"
"As I said, "Bullfighting" has been shortlisted for the Horizon section, so I will definitely come. Director Guan Ru and Yan Ni are also there.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are indeed the boss of the competition unit, looking down on us in the Horizon unit, You didn’t even notice, right?”
Huang Bo said it with a smile at the end.
Lin Nan really had nothing to say, and he really didn’t pay attention.
After hearing what Huang Bo said, Lin Nan knew that there were four Chinese films in the Horizon section.
Even Cui Jian came to Venice with a 30-minute short film to promote it.
"Okay."
Huang Bo smiled and said, "How about we get together at night? I don't understand the language here, it's really uncomfortable for me."
Lin Nan shook his head. He planned to go to the movies with Liu Yifei in the evening after finishing the promotion during the day.
Here in Venice, romance movies are always indispensable.
This made Huang Bo a little confused. He never thought that Lin Nan would refuse.
"What do you have to do? I was thinking of calling Yan Ni to meet you. She is a fellow villager with you."
"I have other things. There is plenty of time before the closing ceremony. , don’t rush these two days.”
Lin Nan gave Huang Bo and Yan Ni two tickets for "Hunting", which was just right.
“Good stuff, I will definitely study Director Lin’s masterpiece, maybe it will be this year’s Golden Lion.”
"Then I also wish you win the Best Actor..."
Huang Boleng was stunned for a moment, then understood instantly, "I would like to lend you your kind words."
...
Many The easiest place for "carpet stars" without works to sneak into is the opening ceremony red carpet.
Lin Nan didn’t go.
He and Liu Yifei watched three literary films for three consecutive nights, all of which were romance films.
Lin Nan couldn't stand it any longer. Liu Yifei was too emotional and often turned red-eyed just looking at her. He was the one who suffered.
After the first screening of "Hunting", the general plot was revealed.
Sina is very fast.
Portal website, I already have my impressions after watching the movie.
"This is a realistic theme that goes straight to the weaknesses of human nature..."
"There is a dragon spring on the tongue, killing without blood."
"The Hunt" directed by Lin Nan, talks about It’s human nature to hunt, and you and I are both prey.”
……
Netizens have discussed it a lot.
The Graduate Department of Nortel's Directing Department, when I was being interviewed at this time, I could finally speak.
“Yes, we gave the highest score to Lin Nan’s graduation drama.
The real society is a hunting ground, and everyone is relatively changing between the hunter and the prey..."
"This is very realistic and ironic. The director is proud of Lin Nan for being able to produce such an excellent work."
……
There are more and more film producers, many of whom are acquaintances who have worked together before.
They know Lin Nan’s habit and will always bet on the final award result.
So before the closing ceremony, I just came over to say hello and expressed my interest in the film. After the awards ceremony, I made an offer.
People from China Film Group also came to meet Lin Nan.
How should I put it, Han Sanping did regard Lin Nan as one of his own.
"What did Director Han say? Import or buyout?"
"Director Lin, there are only a few places for imported films. What do you think about approving the films?
Director Han said, this time The situation of "Buried Alive" will not happen.
And you also know which movies have the best box office in the domestic market..."
Lin Nan understands this. If "The Hunt" is released in the country, it will have the highest box office. It's not necessarily that good. This kind of movie is too boring.
"Please make a price."
"Thirty...thirty million."
Lin Nan thought for a moment, this price should be pretty good in China.
If he takes it back as an imported film, if he wants to get this amount, leaving aside the cost of publicity and distribution, the box office will have to reach about 100 million.
"Okay." Lin Nan nodded in agreement.
My family knows their own business, and movies of this type do not sell well at the box office in China.
People from China Film Group are very happy.
In the hands of other companies, "Hunting" may not be profitable.
However, China Film’s theater chain is quite large, and Lin Nan’s reputation, coupled with Matt Damon from “The Bourne Supremacy”, will definitely not make a loss!
In the next few days, "The Hunt" will end its five shows and will no longer be screened.
More film producers came to inquire about the news.
Lin Nan took the time to meet Huang Bo and Yan Ni. Shopkeeper Tong is indeed an actress with high quotient.
"Director Lin, you are not honest. If I hadn't bumped into Yifei, I wouldn't have known that she came to Venice with you."
Huang Bo said with a smirk on his face.
"They all say that Little Dragon Girl is very beautiful. This time I saw a real person. She is really beautiful..." Yan Ni added with a smile.
"You have a big mouth, just like Ning Hao."
"You are slandering me by saying this." Huang Bo retorted.
Lin Nan ignored him and instead left Yan Ni’s contact information.
There are not many good actors. As a director, maybe there will be a role that requires Yan Ni.
"Director Lin, see you on the red carpet at the closing ceremony..."
When the three of them separated, Huang Bo waved his hand.
Lin Nan is a little speechless. I don’t know if there will be any prize yet.
However, even if you don’t win the prize, you still have to go to the closing ceremony. At least you have to show respect.
