Chapter 313 "Zodiac", Tang Dynasty
"Star" appeared on the Cannes Film Festival's entry list.
This means that Lin Nan has officially embarked on the journey to compete for the Palme d'Or.
"Promotional materials, posters, short films, these are prepared in advance..."
"Copy that, Director Lin."
Cannes is indeed Cannes. The number of films participating this year is expected to exceed 3,000, making competition extremely fierce.
Lin Nan saw the "Golden Broom" award that had just been launched two years ago. The organizer announced the list of winners for the second session.
With "If You Are the One 2" and "Earthquake", Feng Xiaogang single-handedly won three awards: most disappointing director, film, and advertising placement, becoming a hot topic in the industry.
Netizens overwhelmingly supported Feng Xiaogang.
It is impossible to accept the award, but Feng Xiaogang was still happy to do it after a few words of ridicule on Weibo.
"Don't call the judges idiots. This is uncivilized. They should be smart, and they should be given the Golden Abacus Award."
To be honest, Lin Nan didn't think the two movies were any worse. There is no need to quibble about advertising placement, but for commercial films, making money is the first priority...
As Feng Xiaogang said, these people probably want to use his reputation to promote this film award. . After all, is it all business...
Lin Nan was thinking at this moment, what would he do if he was targeted by this group of people?
Probably too lazy to pay attention! Unless I really make a bad movie, this will never happen.
…………
"The King's Feast" has started.
Lu Chuan is really a bit shameless.
She vowed to the media that she would choose an amateur to play Yu Ji.
Then I auditioned nationwide for so long, attracting a lot of attention and achieving the purpose of promoting the movie.
As a result, the final candidate is not an amateur! At a glance, you can tell who inserted the unpopular actress.
The consequences of deceiving the public and the media can be imagined. There was a lot of abuse on the Internet, which felt like going back to the time when "Nanjing" was released.
There are many people in the circle watching the fun and beating up the lost dogs, especially those from "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet".
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei attended the media conference of Jackie Chan's new movie together.
After ten years, I returned to the position of director again.
Jackie Chan will write, direct and act himself.
This is also his 101st movie, the action blockbuster "Zodiac".
"Hua Yi is very generous this year! Has he approved seven or eight movies in this series?"
Ning Hao looked at Lin Nan and asked.
"It's nine movies." Lin Nan said casually.
The stock price keeps rising, Huayi is rich and powerful.
Jackie Chan's "Zodiac" is also exclusively produced by Huayi, and its cost is higher than that of "1942".
An action blockbuster with an investment of 300 million is rare in China.
“Tsk tsk tsk, it’s really different now that it’s on the market.”
In the industry, there are not only conspiracy girls and star girls, but also dragon girls.
It's just that this time the Dragon Girl can only play the second female lead, and the first female lead is from Huayi.
Jackie Chan led the second female actress over.
"Director Lin, Yifei, Director Ning, thank you for coming to support us today."
"That's right."
"Brother, you're welcome."
...
The second female lead is Jackie Chan’s new apprentice. I heard that she was once an athlete on the national team.
"This kind of action movie is very suitable for Yifei, like "Super Body", but it's a pity that there are not enough characters."
Jackie Chan said seriously with a smile on his face.
Both Lin Nan and Liu Yifei knew that this was a courtesy, but it was also the truth.
"I'm also looking forward to cooperating with my brother again. There will be opportunities in the future."
Miss Liu replied with a smile, looking generous.
After the event that day, the Internet was full of news about Jackie Chan returning to work as a director.
At the same time, "Thirteen Hairpins" has also become a hot topic.
People in the industry are saying that Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping have a vicious vision, and signing Bell is a huge profit.
Because news just came back from Hollywood that Bale won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor!
“I have never doubted whether the domestic box office goal of 1 billion can be achieved. Now it seems that this goal is a bit conservative, and at least an additional 200 million is needed.
《 "Thirteen Hairpins" will be the first domestic film in China to have a box office of over 1 billion, or even 1.2 billion, or 1.3 billion..."
Zhang Weiping's speeches are always so positive, with a sense of arrogance. ……
…………
Nortel has finally released the rankings.
Zhou Dongyu, who has received much attention, "stepped over the line" and passed the test and was admitted.
Another child actor who participated in "Wulin Gaiden" regrettably was written off.
Netizens are joking that the Nortel Performance Department only looks at two things for admissions.
Either you have great connections, or your appearance and temperament are very good. Full of irony.
Cai Yinong met Nazha again, this time with an assistant.
She heard from her assistant that Yue Jun had also been in contact with this girl a few days ago, and now Cai Yinong would not let go.
"Congratulations on passing the final exam."
"Thank you, Mr. Cai."
"Mr. Yue from Shanhai Media should have also talked to you. What do you think? ?”
Nazha didn't expect Cai Yinong to ask such a direct question, and she was a little at a loss for a moment.
Judging from the apparent strength, Shanhai Media, backed by Lin Nan Pictures, is much more powerful than Tangren...
Cai Yinong could see from the expression of the girl opposite that she had some inner feelings. Tangled, vaguely leaning towards Shanhai Media.
But Cai Yinong was not in a hurry. She came to rob someone after making sufficient preparations. "Shanhai Media signed a newcomer at Shangxi Theater last year, who is from your hometown."
When Nazha heard this, she nodded blankly, not understanding what it meant.
"If you go there, your looks will compete head-on in terms of resources, and what suits you will definitely suit her."
Now, Nazha understood. In the same company, this kind of thing is inevitable...
“We all know that in this circle, you have to become famous early.
Shanhai Media has a contract for newcomers, that is, within two years Without providing resources and laying the foundation in school, that girl has not received a role so far
Maybe you will yearn for the film resources of Lin Nan Pictures, but how many actors can become popular through movies?
On the contrary, TV dramas are easier to accumulate audience popularity and make you famous, and you should know about Tang Dynasty’s achievements in TV dramas..."
Nazha felt like listening to Cai Yinong’s words It makes sense. I was faced with a dilemma: Can I survive if I go to a big company?
“But what if I go to Tangren? "She asked.
A hint of cunning flashed in Cai Yinong's eyes. This is what she was waiting for.
"We don't want newcomers to wait for a year or two. The "Sword and Fairy" series has made many actors popular, including Hu Ge, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Liu Shishi...
Now another actor in the company A TV series adapted from the game has also been approved. As long as you sign in with the company, the remaining three female characters will be given to you.
Your partners will be Hu Ge, Tang Yan, and Liu Shishi. Once this drama comes out, you will definitely be popular..."
Cai Yinong's words seemed to be bewitching, lingering in Nazha's heart.
"I can't give you an answer now. I want to discuss it with my family..."
"Okay, no problem."
…………
Lin Nan sent Liu Yifei, her assistant and others to the airport.
The autumn and winter women's wear show in Paris is about to begin, and Liu Yifei needs to go there.
The media reported two days ago that Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing and others had arrived in Paris in advance.
"Take care of yourself."
"Well, I understand, I'm not a weak woman. Besides, I'm only going for a few days."
As Liu Yifei spoke, she also shouted at Lin Nan He blinked and bulged his biceps.
After instructing the assistants again, Lin Nan felt relieved and watched them walk into the waiting hall.
After a long time, Lin Nan drove back to the company.
…………
The special effects of "The Legend of White Snake" are completed.
I started working on it in late November last year, and it has taken a little more than three months now, which is only slower than "Painting the Wall".
Lin Nan never showed up for this project from beginning to end.
Now that the special effects are finished, we still have to meet Yang Zai and Huang Shengyi.
The other party has made so many appointments and keeps refusing. If word spreads about it, it will not be good for the reputation.
"Director Lin, we are over at Tiangong Color."
"Has it been accepted?"
"It is being accepted."
etc. When Lin Nan arrived at the Tiangong Color Floor, he saw Yang Zai and Huang Shengyi who were watching the special effects shots.
She keeps her hair cropped and wears sunglasses indoors, so she can really show off.
"Director Lin, I have finally met you."
"Director Lin."
As soon as he came up, he grabbed Lin Nan's hand and shook it. It's a bit too cooked.
“How is the finished product, are you satisfied?”
Lin Nan silently pulled his hand back.
"Okay, very good."
Huang Shengyi simply said hello and stood next to Yang Zai, acting like a vassal.
The employees are packaging the special effects shots, and Yang Zai is talking non-stop.
Lin Nan understood. This guy has now opened a film company, so he is a bit arrogant.
"Director Lin, next time you make a new movie, be sure to tell me. Juli Pictures hopes to invest together, no matter how much it is..."
Lin Nan looked at Yang Zai like a fool, I really want to say something: You can talk to Han Sanping and the others first.
I really don’t know if this guy is really stupid or just pretending. He even said that Huang Shengyi could be considered for future castings.
Lin Nan thought to himself, it’s just a special effects job together, and you’re getting into trouble?
Two hours later, Yang Zai and his party were finally sent away.
"Haha, it's so funny to me. Director Lin, you don't know what he said when he first came here. It's so stupid."
"What did he say?" Lin Nan was a little curious.
“He said that such good special effects cost 100 million for external publicity, no problem! Isn’t this obvious?”
…………
Yue Jun answered the phone and went out.
At the cafe next to Nortel, Yue Jun met Nazha.
"The thing you asked about does exist..."
When he heard Nazha ask about the terms of the Shanhai Media newcomer's contract, Yue Jun almost guessed the answer.
This industry is always like this. Everyone has their own ambitions, and everyone has the right to choose the path they want.
Obviously, the girl in front of me has chosen Tang Dynasty.
Yue Jun shook his head and stopped forcing it. He could understand this kind of thing.
