Chapter 366 Minor Surgery
"Director Lin, my movie "Hello! Mr. Tree" will be released on the 4th of next month. If you are free then, please correct me..."
Lin Nan was quite surprised to receive a call from Wang Baoqiang.
"Yes, yes. By the way, congratulations on winning the Best Actor Award and being nominated next month..."
"Hahaha, thank you, Director Lin, for lending me your blessing." ”
Although Wang Baoqiang's film did not win the best actor award at the Shanghai Film Festival, it recently won the best actor award at the Vladivostok International Film Festival.
It seems that he has been shortlisted for the Best Actor Award at the Asia Pacific Film Festival in the past two days. He can be called an inspirational model for grassroots actors!
In fact, Wang Baoqiang’s biggest advantage is his attitude. He always puts himself very low, unlike other actors who are more or less a little arrogant after becoming famous...
North There are many students graduating in TV every year, but very few of them receive widespread attention from the media, and most of them are actors.
Among the group of people who will graduate in the first half of next year, the most eye-catching ones are not the actors, but the two "directors"!
"Director Guo Ban has officially entered the postgraduate graduation process."
"It is reported that Director Guo Ban is not a graduate student in directing, but is from the School of Management and is not involved in the filming of the graduation drama."
"The content of his graduation work is taken from the new film "Passengers" directed by Lin Nan."
...
If Guo Fan is a non-directing "director" who is about to graduate, then The other one is a "parallel import director" who has repeated grades for three years!
"Nortel's official website announced that Zhao Yanzi, a 2006-level Master of Arts in Directing, has entered the graduation process normally..."
"After Zhao Yanzi applied for deferment of graduation for three consecutive years, he decided not to defer it!"
>...
The internet is filled with news about Zhao Yanzi.
A large number of media rushed to Nortel and tried to contact Zhao Yanzi himself, and finally got the accurate answer. The repeater was ready to graduate.
"I almost forgot about this one. She seems to be a graduate student in the same class as Director Lin Nan, right?"
"I remember correctly, Director Lin's graduation drama that year was "Hunting"!"< br>
“I only remember Director Lin confessing his love on the awards stage, and Liu Yifei bursting into tears in the audience...”
“Director Lin’s golden lion had just finished receiving the award and he still hadn’t covered his body. , Liu Yifei stretched out her hand and tried to pass by 'arrogantly'..."
...
Lin Nan had never seen this kind of operation before. A student who repeated a grade just graduated and held a media conference!
“I’ve learned a lot!”
Zhao Yanzi’s instructor is also amazing. He actually let this guy hold a press conference in the small auditorium of the school.
Many celebrities came back to school to show their support, and many teachers from the acting and directing departments were also guests.
However, when the media asked about the type of graduation drama, this person was silent for a moment and did not know anything about it, claiming that it needed to be kept confidential.
"Director Lin Nan, who is a graduate student at the same level as you, is a top director in the industry. His graduation drama that year even won the Golden Lion Award and the Volpi Cup Award for Best Actor.
What do you think? Can your graduation work be compared with Director Lin’s "Hunting"? "
When the reporter asked this question, not only Zhao Yanzi looked confused, but even her mentor was speechless for a moment. .
It’s a bit embarrassing to ask this question on this occasion...
“To be honest, I think I can’t compare. Before Director Lin won the Golden Lion Award, he had already Having won two Silver Bear Awards for Best Director, I am self-aware..."
"Director Guo Ban will also graduate in the first half of next year. He has already directed the science fiction film "Source Code" and served as the assistant director of "Rogue" and "Passengers". How do you compare with him?"
Zhao As soon as Yanzi finished answering one question, he was immediately asked another.
At this time, her face was very gloomy, but she still forced to keep a smile:
"Director Guo's "Source Code" has a very good reputation and has more experience than me. I will learn from him... …”
……
A media meeting turned into a press conference to compare and admit defeat, which made both teachers and students Zhao Yanzi very uncomfortable.
"Old Tian, why do I think you are so gloating about your misfortune?"
"Really? Don't worry too much. I can only say that you are a very unlucky student. There is Lin Nan in the same class, who was postponed. I bumped into Guo Fan again after graduation..."
At this point, Tian Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but ask: "By the way, what movie was she filming?"
Hearing this? Regarding the problem, Zhao Yanzi’s tutor was also a bit confused, “Youth campus theme…”
Tian Zhuangxu nodded, indicating that he understood.
Even if this kind of movie has a high box office, it is still at the bottom of the contempt chain in the film industry, because it has no quality and relies entirely on selling emotions.
Let me ask, who doesn’t recall the past? Who has no regrets about youth! This kind of movie is very difficult.
…………
Lin Nan continued to perfect the script in the company when he saw Yue Jun knocking on the door and coming in.
"Director Lin, Zhang Weiping actually called and asked."
"Explain it to him clearly." Lin Nan was very interested.
"I told him. I told him that you, Director Lin, have promised that as long as he takes the lead, we will support him."
"Then what did he say?"
"He I was silent for a minute or two, and then said that this is for the benefit of all production companies, and I hope we will keep our promises and not add insult to injury..."
Lin Nan nodded, which was in line with his understanding of Zhang Weiping.
Although this guy sometimes has no control over his words and likes to open fire, he can also give in and speak softly in order to achieve his goal.
“But it’s quite miraculous that Zhang Weiping’s organization has not spread in the circle.” Yue Jun marveled.
"It's easy to understand. The production company is naturally on the opposite side of the theater chain.
Even if you don't want to follow Zhang Weiping, you definitely want Zhang Weiping to succeed in your heart, and of course you won't say it out loud... …”
Speaking of this, Lin Nan was looking forward to it, but she didn't know when Zhang Weiping would take action. I thought it would be exciting when it came.
……
New screen here. Zhang Weiping looked serious and confident. He was very experienced in increasing the share ratio.
With "Hero", he forced theaters to increase the film studio's share ratio from 38% to 40%.
Later, with "House of Flying Daggers", the 40% became 41%.
Although the film studio can now get 43%, he still feels that it is not enough and it can be higher!
After a round of phone calls, as Zhang Weiping expected, some major production companies agreed to support, but they all wanted him to take the lead.
"Haha, a bunch of timid guys, doing great things but sacrificing their own lives, what can they accomplish? They can only be supporting roles..."
At this moment, Zhang Weiping was very imposing, and he took the lead. He takes the lead and everyone else just has to follow.
"It's different now than nine years ago..."
Hearing Zhang Yimou's words, Zhang Weiping was a little irritable.
“We are under great pressure to make back the money. The higher the box office, the extra point may be hundreds or tens of millions.”
In the office, Zhang Weiping’s voice was cold and impatient. .
After filming "Thirteen Hairpins", the two of them already felt like strangers.
"I hope to transfer Ni Nai's contract to my studio..."
Before Zhang Yimou could finish his words, he was sharply interrupted by Zhang Weiping.
"Impossible, she is the heroine of "Thirteen Hairpins", she can only stay in the new scene..."
Zhang Yimou looked at Zhang Weiping with a surly face, and really felt that this person in front of him My old partner is a bit unfamiliar.
Before Zhang Yimou could continue to speak, Zhang Weiping turned his army around.
"Zhou Dongyu signed up in your studio, which is also a free space. I think it is better to transfer to the company to facilitate management and arrangement of announcements."
The two of them froze for a while, and Zhang Yimou shook his head, "No. , She is doing well now, taking roles while going to school..."
Zhang Weiping saw Zhang Yimou's firm refusal, and then stopped forcing him, but he did not give up the idea.
He was relieved that these plot girls were still in the company's hands...
After Zhang Yimou left the office, Zhang Weiping turned on the computer.
There was a half-written manuscript that he continued to edit: "Bell and I..."
.........
Feng Xiaogang's "1942" was started.
It was previously reviewed by the Film Bureau, and finally the original author made fine adjustments to the script.
Some particularly uncomfortable scenes have been turned into cryptic descriptions.
It seems that Feng Xiaogang himself also had some premonitions, and even posted a special post on Weibo:
"This may be the most serious time I have taken in all these years of filming. I hope I will live up to it, and it will live up to me... ..."
When the cast of "1942" was announced, the attention of the film industry was attracted.
Cheung Guoli, Chen Daoming, Li Xuejian, Zhang Hanyu, Fan Wei, Feng Yuanzhuo...
This is a complete lineup of all-star actors!
Only then did people in the industry understand. No wonder Feng Xiaogang said this was the most serious time he had ever taken!
Lin Nan suddenly remembered a sentence and forgot who said it.
That is: every great director must have at least one most sincere movie in his life, a movie made without utilitarianism.
Perhaps "1942" is Feng Xiaogang's movie.
…………
Lin Nan left the company and when he went back, he happened to bump into Liu Yifei driving back.
"Help me move the cage out of the trunk. I'll park the car first."
Miss Liu parked the car next to Lin Nan and said with her head raised. The face under the sunglasses has a hint of sweetness.
"Oh, okay."
In a cage, three cats lay quietly. They looked at Lin Nan with tears in their eyes.
"Where did you take it?"
When Lin Nan asked, Miss Liu's car had already entered the basement.
Five minutes later, Liu Yifei came out with her bag.
"Where did you take them? Why do they look so wilted?"
"Guess."
Liu Yifei walked up to Lin Nan with a smile and winked at him, very naughty.
“I wouldn’t have guessed. I usually help them shovel poop and feed them, how could I know.”
Hearing Lin Nan’s words, Liu Yifei couldn’t stop laughing.
She leaned close to Lin Nan's ear and whispered:
"I took them to the pet hospital for a small operation, hahaha..."
"Hiss..."
At this moment, Lin Nan felt a little cold.
He looked at the three poor little guys in the cage. They were so pitiful. They would be sisters from now on.
"Sissi, are you too cruel?" Lin Nan couldn't help but say.
"Humph, what do you know? The pet doctor said this is for their own good. In a while, there will be a few more. Then you go with me!"
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan jokingly, looking very arrogant.
