Chapter 316 Zhao Liying, shortlisted
In March, the first domestic film to be released was "Guanyin Mountain", which won the Tokyo Film Award for Fan Bingbing.
The director is still the director of "Apple", and the heroine is still the heroine of "Apple".
But the result this time was different from that in Berlin. This time it was successful!
Currently, among the actresses born in the 1980s, Fan Bingbing is the most dedicated.
She dares to make all sacrifices for the pursuit in her heart!
A literary film with an investment of 7 million yuan received 8 million box office on the first day, which is rare in the field of literary and artistic films.
This movie is destined to make money.
The box office was 9 million on the second day, and still 9 million on the third day, making a profit in the first three days of the weekend!
The eyes of the industry have all turned to this female director. If there are achievements, there will be benefits.
When Lin Nan picked up Liu Yifei at the airport, he met Fan Bingbing and his party who were returning from Paris.
The latter was surrounded by the media, but he still accepted interviews with everyone with a smile.
……
More than half an hour later, someone knocked on Lin Nan’s car window.
"Director Lin is waiting for Yifei? She is one flight behind me and should be arriving soon..."
Lin Nan was a little surprised. Fan Bingbing's look was great!
The other party didn't stay long and walked quickly to the car behind.
Less than twenty minutes later, there was another commotion at the airport exit, and Miss Liu was surrounded.
She had already seen Lin Nan's car, but she just couldn't get past it.
After a long time, Liu Yifei got into the car. The assistants returned to the company by themselves.
"These three days have been really tiring. On average, there are three dresses a day, and half of the time is spent on makeup and makeup removal.
Go back quickly. I want to have a good sleep and won't get up tomorrow morning..."
Liu Yifei’s first words after getting in the car directly revealed her true nature!
"Okay, haha..."
…………
After sending Liu Yifei back, Lin Nan received a call from Yue Jun, who had arrived.
Lin Nan Pictures, third floor.
Compared with coming here three days ago, Zhao Liying was still nervous and apprehensive at this time, but she was more excited.
It really worked! She will become an artist of Shanhai Media!
Before you are Shanhai Media’s three different contracts for mature artists.
The signing time is different, the sharing ratio is different, and the rest are similar.
The company will prepare matching managers and assistants for each artist.
Of course, if the artist has his or her own team, that’s another matter.
Zhao Liying did not have a team. She came to Shanhai Media to try her luck alone, and she succeeded.
"Read it a few more times. Although I have told you the time and time, you still have to read the specific content carefully."
In Yue Jun's eyes, this girl is really good at that, and she actually came here alone without anyone to help her.
"I, I don't need to read any more, it's quite clear." Zhao Liying said firmly.
The door of the conference room opened.
"Director Lin."
Following Yue Jun's words, Zhao Liying quickly stood up.
As expected, it was the little bun face that Lin Nan saw at the Huayi Annual Meeting.
"Hello, Director Lin, I am Zhao Liying, I am 24 years old this year..."
Lin Nan sat across from her, and Zhao Liying gave him a completely different feeling from Yang Mi.
Relatively speaking, Zhao Liying is much more restrained. Maybe it’s because she has run into obstacles in Huayi in the past few years and feels a little inferior?
“How do you like it?”
"Look, you can sign it now." Zhao Liying said hurriedly.
Lin Nan glanced at Yue Jun, who nodded, indicating that the other party had read the contract in detail.
Before Lin Nan and Yue Jun could talk, the girl added another sentence.
"I want to choose an 8-year contract."
Hearing this, even Lin Nan couldn't help but look at the other party, being so cruel to him?
Yang Mi and Lei Jiayin, one is for 3 years and the other is for 5 years; if Zhao Liying signed for eight years, she will be the one with the longest time.
"Are you sure you have thought it through clearly?"
"Yes, starting from the end of April..."
Zhao Liying said very decisively, as if she was going to do her best. Fight.
“Director Yue, sign it.”
Lin Nan gave instructions. Yue Jun is responsible for the Shanhai Media contract.
Same as last time, the artist cannot disclose the signing to the outside until the contract with the original company is completely ended.
Although Lin Nan is not afraid of Hua Yi, it is quite troublesome given the media's gossipy attitude.
…………
A letter of invitation was sent to Lin Nan Films.
It was a reception invitation sent by Xiaoma after his successful financing.
The attention of the film and television industry was suddenly attracted. It was another company that was willing to go public at all costs!
Lin Nan was also shocked when he saw the specific content of Xiaoma's financing.
In the past, Huayi’s pre-IPO financing was not as crazy as Galloping Horse.
Betting was actually used!
I remember that in 2008, Xiao Ma raised US$40 million and then entered the film industry.
This time, we directly raised 750 million from several major domestic banks and signed a gambling agreement.
Pony must complete the listing before the end of 2013, otherwise it will have to repurchase those shares at a premium...
Even Ning Hao's "Golden Heist" has become Pony The chips in the gambling agreement are simply incredible.
“Are you going or not?”
Ning Hao also called specifically to ask about Lin Nan.
“I’m not going to go there, it’s not interesting.”
Lin Nan didn’t have to go, but Ning Hao couldn’t shirk it.
A film and television company is about to go public, but what can it do without a proven film and a well-connected director?
After all, in this circle, connections are an extremely important resource!
…………
While the industry was still discussing pony betting, there was news in Cannes. The first batch of shortlisted films is out.
The media turned their attention and started reporting immediately.
“The Cannes International Film Festival officially announced the first batch of finalists for the main competition unit today.”
"The list is as follows:
"Sleeping Beauty";
"Vermilion Moon":
"The Origin of Women":
"Looking for My Father" "Qiu":
...
"The Fault in Our Stars";
..."
As soon as the news came out, the entire film industry exploded!
Really Shortlisted!
A large number of media immediately focused on Lin Nan Pictures.
"The film "The Fault in Our Stars" directed by director Lin Nan and starring himself and Liu Yifei has been confirmed to be shortlisted for the main competition of the Cannes International Film Festival..."
"Lin Nan The director and Liu Yifei will step on the red carpet of Cannes in May with their works! "
...
Media reports are in full swing, and a large number of actors and actresses in the industry have become active.
Phone calls, text messages, Weibo, all the news...
“Director Lin, you are awesome!”
“Director Lin, you have to work hard and bring back a Palme d’Or! Next time You asked me to play the leading role for the first time, and my sister will give you a discount..."
"Brother Lin Nan, come on"
"Boss..."
Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Yang Mi and others are the most excited.
If Lin Nan really wins this time, then they will all follow the chickens and dogs to heaven!
Tian Zhuangzhuang called rarely.
"I have also brought so many students, and the most dazzling one is you. You are better than me. In the future, be steady..."
I can hear the other party saying this. , Lin Nan was really touched.
"Thank you, teacher. You have helped me a lot over the years and blocked so many troubles..."
...
"Reba, I really envy you. If Director Lin this time If you win the grand prize again, then you will be our thigh in the future..."
After Zhao Liying signed the contract, she informed Huayi Agency that she would not renew the contract, and then she was dismissed by her agent He was sarcastic on the spot.
When she heard the news that Lin Nan had been shortlisted for the Palme d'Or, she felt that she was so lucky and she didn't have to worry about anything in the future...
"You want to murder your husband?"
Liu Yifei ran and jumped, riding on Lin Nan. The latter almost lay down, but fortunately there was a sofa behind him.
"Haha, I'm so happy, I'm going to Cannes, muma..."
The overly excited Liu Yifei is terrifying, these legs are so powerful...
Lin Nan held Miss Liu's buttocks with both hands, which were round and tight, "You look like a koala like this."
"Hmph, you are the bear!"
Just as he was about to speak, Lin Nan was blocked...
…………
The outside world is a mess. .
Another Chinese film has been shortlisted for competition in Cannes!
How long has it been since the last Chinese-language film won the Palme d'Or?
It’s eighteen years!
Over the years, there have been several Chinese-language films shortlisted for the Palme d'Or, but none of them succeeded in the end, and were completely inferior to their results in Berlin and Venice.
The officials were very excited, and China Film Group sent a special message of congratulations.
On Nortel's official website, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are pinned to the top. This is because the school has trained them well!
The reporters couldn't find Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, so they harassed Yue Jun, who was very busy for a while.
Several major directors were also interviewed by the media one by one.
The crew of Zhang Yimou's "Thirteen Hairpins" originally refused all reporters, but this time it was rare for them to show their faces.
"Although I haven't seen the work "The Star" yet, I believe in Lin Nan's ability and wish him a successful trip to Cannes..."
"Young and talented I wish him good luck. "Chen Kai's song has few words and a strong character.
"Actually, there is no need to care so much about the award, but congratulations to him for being shortlisted..."
"Lin Nan can do it. I support him. I will stand up and receive the award!"
…… …
This is just a shortlist, there are still two months until the actual opening.
Lin Nan calmed down and started to get down to business. He called Wang Changtian.
"I just happened to be on the phone to congratulate you on being shortlisted for the Palme d'Or, haha..."
"Thank you, Director Wang, I have something serious to do this time."
"Let's talk about our relationship. Just say it."
Wang Changtian said so, and Lin Nan was not polite.
“When I was talking about "Painting on the Wall" with Director Wang last time, I remembered that Guangguang will make another movie this year. When the time comes, let me know about the casting."
"Why, you want a role?"
That is to say, it is an artist who is not good at Guangguang, so Lin Nan will talk to Wang Changtian based on his relationship.
This is how connections are used, the more you use them, the deeper the friendship becomes!
“Yes, we recently signed a new person.” Lin Nan said bluntly.
Wang Changtian agreed directly without any hesitation.
"No problem, the casting will be within these two months, you can choose it. Anyway, we will have to find Tiangong Color to do the special effects and so on, haha..."
"Okay, thank you Wang Dong.”
“It’s too easy to get along. Our relationship doesn’t need to be so polite.” In Lin Nan's eyes, it's not that good, but it is definitely more than enough for Zhao Liying at this stage.
