Chapter 269 Change the director and decide on the investor
“Friend?”
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, raised her voice and said warmly:
“If I am interested in other people, People say, you and I are just ordinary friends, what would you think?”
Liu Yifei acted cooperatively, gritted her silver teeth and glared at Lin Nan, “Then you’re dead... ”
Huang Xiaoming was on the side, looking at the couple speechlessly.
"Okay, I admit, it's just the beginning, don't spread the word."
"We don't talk so much." Lin Nan joked.
At this time, Donnie Yen and his agent came over.
“Director Lin, here’s to you.”
At this moment, Zhen Zidan looked humble again.
“Yeah.”
Lin Nan raised his glass and took a sip.
When the two of them walked away, Lin Nan looked at Huang Xiaoming.
“Is he often absent during filming and promotion?”
"This..."
Huang Xiaoming smiled helplessly and said nothing.
Got it.
Some things can be better expressed without saying them.
……
Today's premiere of "Ip Man 2" was considered a complete success.
Not long after the day ended, the media reported on the premiere.
"Based on the first film, "Ip Man 2" has more simple elements centered on family..."
"The fighting scenes are still exciting!"
"Yang Shoucheng's bold words, the box office will be at least 200 million!"
"If the box office results are satisfactory, we will consider filming the third part."
The good reputation of the first part has made a large number of viewers look forward to the content of the second part, and many theaters are already preparing to increase their film schedules.
……
“Many actors came over to say hello to me today, whom I didn’t even know before.”
Liu Yifei leaned on Lin Nan’s arm and talked about the premiere Ceremonial matters.
"Male or female?"
"I want to say male?"
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei with a joking face and decided to cooperate.
"Then you have to explain it to me."
"Haha, you are stupid, there are no men, they are all women."
Although he was mocking Lin Nan, it could be seen that Liu Yifei was very satisfied with his attitude.
The next day, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli and their assistants set off to fly to Shanghai.
Because of the incident in Yushu, this year's Bazaar Charity Night has been moved forward to April.
Before boarding the plane, Ms. Liu also told Lin Nan that if she thought there was anything suitable for Lin Nan, she would buy it for him.
How touching!
.........
In just ten days, Lin Nan doubted whether Wu Ershan had taken a break during the trip.
Looking at the thick stack of footage on the table, Lin Nan was a little speechless.
"Director Lin, the entire script is here. Of course, this is "Painted Skin 2" in my mind."
Lin Nan did not speak, but picked up the Wu Ershan's achievements are beginning to appear.
The same script for "Painted Skin 2" was shot by Lin Nan and Wu Ershan, and the resulting film is definitely a different style.
Lin Nan can tell from the shots in his hand that Wu Ershan is better at using the environment to set off the atmosphere.
"Director Lin, how are you?" Wu Ershan couldn't help but ask after about twenty minutes.
"When I was on the set of "Painted Skin 1", I knew that your style was different from mine."
"Haha, I am also interested in this kind of film, and I am a bit interested in it. Director Lin can direct all kinds of movies.”
Lin Nan nodded. Lu Yang likes martial arts, Guo Fan has good coordination skills, and Wu Ershan is outstanding in color composition...
"Your shots are pretty good."
Wu Ershan When Shan heard this, he was instantly excited.
"Then I..."
"But have you ever thought about why a movie with a cost of hundreds of millions should be given to you like this?
How many directors need this kind of opportunity? Even if I am not the director of "Painted Skin 2", the company still has Guo Fan and Lu Yang..."
Lin Nan said it very directly.
Wu Ershan frowned, this He thought about the problem. There is never a free lunch in the world.
"Director Lin, should I sign in to the company? "
Lin Nan narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He was not going to sign Wu Ershan, those two are enough.
"I have another option here that you can consider.
I will give you the director of "Painted Skin 2", but you will need to make a few more movies for the company in the future. With your current salary, And the quality must be guaranteed..."
Lin Nan gave Wu Ershan another choice.
The other party thought for a few minutes and nodded decisively.
“Director Lin, I agree to this method.”
"Think clearly? I won't arrange it for you one after another. It may be intermittently for several years."
"I have thought clearly. This method is the friendliest to me. At least it guarantees freedom."< br>
“Well, that’s no problem.”
Lin Nan asked Wu Ershan to sign the contract another day.
He has to think about the problem of "Painted Skin 2".
If the director changes from himself to Wu Ershan, will the other directors have any objections?
After a long time, Lin Nan laughed himself. "Haha, what do I want to do with this? If they have any objections, can they not join in..."
…………
Several companies such as China Film, Wanda, and Enlight have successively received proposals from Lin Nanying Industry notification.
"What is he thinking? Why should we change the director?"
"I heard from Yue Jun that he was replaced by the assistant director of "Painted Skin"."
The secretary looked at Han Sanping and explained.
"Director Lin means that if any company is worried, it can withdraw early, and then directly decide on the investor."
After working together for so long, Han Sanping believed in Lin Nan, but This time it’s an investment of hundreds of millions!
After hesitating for a while, he decided to join.
"Go and tell Lin Nan that China Film Group is following. Let him be more reliable for such a big investment."...
After reporting, Xiying and Ningying decided to continue to follow. He was never involved in good projects, but now that Lin Nan is willing to continue playing with him, how could he give up.
Wang Changtian is a bit weak.
"Lin Nan, don't fool me, brother, he is almost a newcomer. Are you sure you want him to come?"
"Director Wang, believe me, it's just a "Painted Skin 2". The production team is still the same team as the first one. Only the director has changed."
"Let me think about it..."
"Okay, Director Wang will reply to me as soon as possible. Since I have decided on the director, I won't wait too long."
In fact, Lin Nan could roughly guess Wang Changtian's subsequent reply. The next most likely thing is not to follow.
What Lin Nan didn’t expect was that the first person to make it clear that he would not participate would be Shanghai Film Academy.
"Lin Nan, if you were to be the director, the group would have no problem with it, but as a newcomer, I can't convince others."
Although Ren Zhonglun is the number one person in Shanghai Film Industry, this Now he is actually still the first deputy director, which is not as good as Han Sanping's outstanding performance in China Film.
"Okay, then I hope I can cooperate with Shanghai Film Industry next time."
"Well, next time."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan shook his head , it seems that Shanghai Film and "Painted Skin" really have no fate.
The last phone call went smoothly. Ye Ning didn't think much about it and just agreed decisively.
“Our two families have been cooperating for so long. This matter is not a problem, it’s just a little money. Just call me when you decide the allocation.”
Go around. , the most straightforward one is Wanda! This was also what Lin Nan expected
He estimated that even if Wanda knew that the movie would lose money, there was a high probability that Wanda would still invest without hesitation! Then it's not investing in movies, but investing in people.
……
Using the first film as a reference, the following departments quickly worked out the budget for "Painted Skin 2."
"Director Lin, we have set the budget at 100 million."
Lin Nan remembers the first film, when he could reduce the cost to 80 million, but with just a few investments Fang Rang did it at 100 million.
“Are you sure?”
“Since we do the special effects ourselves, 100 million is almost the same.”
"Set it at 120 million. Tiangong Color also needs to make money." Lin Nan ordered.
"Okay, Director Lin."
......
As Lin Nan guessed, Wang Changtian gave up the investment in "Painted Skin 2".
Now, including Lin Nan Pictures, there are only five investors.
...
Because there are fewer signed artists now, Yue Jun is in charge of Shanhai Media.
At this moment, Zeng Jia was talking to Yue Jun, who was reading the script.
"I will ask Director Lin, if there is enough time, just take it."
Yue Jun returned the script in his hand with a strange expression on his face .
"Director Yue, I'll leave it to you."
Zeng Jia left Yue Jun's office without asking any questions.
"This is interesting, haha..."
Muttered, Yue Jun got up and went to find Lin Nan.
Twenty minutes later.
Lin Nan now believed in fate a little bit.
Some things are yours and cannot be avoided.
Just like the script invitation Yang Mi received.
“How long did they say it would take to start the machine?”
“About mid-July to the end of July.”
Lin Nan nodded. In his opinion, this time was completely fine.
"Painted Skin 2" will be launched in late May at the latest. The role planned for Yang Mi is just a supporting role, and it can definitely be completed within a month.
“Tell Zeng Jia that I can take it and it won’t conflict with “Painted Skin 2”.”
“Yes.”
…………
On the other side, Zeng Jia had just arrived at Yang Mi's residence when the call came.
"What's the matter, Jiajia?"
Yang Mi looked at Zeng Jia who looked surprised and asked.
"That TV series, Director Yue said you can take on it."
Yang Mi was happy at first, then a little worried, "What about "Painted Skin 2"?"
"Haha, don't worry, Director Yue also said that this TV series will not conflict with "Painted Skin 2". Do you understand what that means?"
At this moment, Yang Mi felt that all the hardships were finally rewarded.
"I understand, I understand, it means I have a role in "Painted Skin 2"! Haha... Come on, go out, I'll treat you."
…………
< br>Watching the live broadcast of the Bazaar Charity Night on Sina, Lin Nan regretted not flying to Shanghai with Liu Yifei.
On the red carpet, Miss Liu looked very eye-catching in a golden dress.
It looks really good, but Lin Nan always feels uncomfortable...
"Yifei, why didn't you see Director Lin today?"
A reporter interviewed asked.
"He is busy with work and cannot spare time today. I will donate on his behalf."
Liu Yifei looks elegant in front of the camera.
"Work? Is it "Painted Skin 2"?"
A reporter responded quickly and hurriedly asked.
“Well, yes.”
Liu Yifei replied, not hiding anything. This was originally Lin Nan's excuse, and it was just revealed to the outside world.
A group of reporters are very excited. This news is no less than tonight's charity night.
……
I said I would write three chapters today, but I actually tried my best and only wrote a little over two chapters.
Sorry, it seems that I won’t be able to write before 12 o’clock. I will continue tomorrow.
