Chapter 376 Candidate
Lin Nan sat on the sofa, enjoying Shu Chang's shoulder-squeezing service.
"Brother, how are you? I want a second female lead, and Sissi agreed."
"Nonsense, I didn't agree, haha..."
< br>Liu Yifei pursed her lips and smiled, denying it, and then pointed to her shoulder.
"Oh, Producer Sissi, I'm coming right away."
Lin Nan suddenly felt a lightness on his shoulders, turned around and saw Shu Chang running to Liu Yifei's side, and the two girls were laughing and joking.
“You two.”
Lin Nan complained with a smile.
He couldn't tell that Liu Yifei must have made an agreement with Shu Chang. She even asked herself about the casting a few days ago.
It is estimated that at that time, Liu Yifei was thinking about letting Shu Chang play the second female lead.
"Changchang, please understand, I am the director." Lin Nan deliberately joked.
"Hey, but Sissi is the producer."
Shu Chang made a face and retorted.
"I think it's pretty good. I acted with Changchang. Last time..."
"Last time it was "Dragon Movie", but we didn't play opposite each other."
Shu Chang spoke directly before Liu Yifei finished speaking.
"It's better to talk about "The Golden Family"."
Liu Yifei teased with a smile, with a trace of reminiscence in her eyes. They were two little girls at that time.
Lin Nan looked at the two of them with emotion. This kind of pure friendship is really precious.
"There is something I have to say."
"What is it?" Liu Yifei and Shu Chang looked at Lin Nan.
"The Children's Bureau agreed to help me review the script, but the filming location must be changed to Hong Kong Island. Please keep it confidential."
"Because of the review committee?"
" That’s right, I’m just a thorn in their eyes. It’s hard to catch me once, but you don’t have to hammer me hard, hahaha.”
Lin Nan laughed and laughed at himself.
“Isn’t it okay to make it into a foreign language film?”
Shu Chang asked innocently. She knew that Lin Nan had Crystal Pictures in Hollywood.
“No, as long as the movie wants to be released in the mainland, even if the script is not restricted, the finished film must pass the review of the Film Bureau.
Only in this way can the public release permit be obtained. And The same people are responsible for reviewing the finished film.”
Lin Nan explained to Liu Yifei and Shu Chang.
No matter how big a director you are, no matter how influential you are, you can't avoid that group of people.
It’s just that the more famous a director is, the harder it is to be targeted, but it’s by no means impossible.
This is power!
“Now I finally understand why many big directors often scold those people.
Because I couldn't escape from either side, I had to bite the bullet, revise it again and again, and submit it for review again and again. "
Shu Chang suddenly realized.
"But it's okay, two years at most. "Lin Nan thought of Han Sanping's words.
"What two years. "
"In two years at most, those people will have to make a major change.
Although the people who come in may not necessarily change their style, they will definitely be 'sensible' than the current group of old guys! ”
…………
Lin Nan personally sent the script that took two hours and made minor changes to the film bureau the next day.
This time, He remembered Tong Gang's instructions and waited until the latter came out of the meeting before handing the script over to him with confidence.
"Haha, you are acting like a joint. ”
Looking at Lin Nan's cautious look, Tong Gang joked.
"Aren't you afraid of running into the review committee people? Tong Bureau, I'm sorry to trouble you this time, I've already chosen half of the actors."
"Well, I won't keep you. Let’s go back and wait for the news.”
Tong Gang casually threw Lin Nan’s folder containing the script into the drawer, then waved his hand and said calmly.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."
.........
"Genius Gunman" was delivered to Tong Gang in the morning, and in the afternoon the news came out that "Love in Seattle" had passed the review.
"Director and screenwriter Xue Xiaolu: "Love in Seattle" is announced to have passed the review!"
The media thought of the previous meeting between Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and Xue Xiaolu in a coffee shop.
Not long after, reporters either went to Nortel to find Xue Xiaolu, or came to Lin Nan Pictures to find Yue Jun.
Xue Xiaolu didn't hide it either:
"This movie was indeed written by me and will also be directed by me. The casting is currently over."
Yue Jun's side is more formal. The news was announced directly on Weibo to avoid any further media interference.
"Lin Nan Pictures will fully produce director Xue Xiaolu's new work: "Love in Seattle"."
"Shanhai Media artist, Yang Mi, will star in the film's leading female role!"
Later, Xue Xiaolu also announced the casting situation.
"The male lead: Yu Hewei, the female lead: Yang Mi, supporting role: Hai Qing..."
...
The news spread, and many agents Both the company and the actress lamented that this was too secretive.
The industry has just learned about this project, and it turns out that all your actors have been cast!
Everyone in the industry remembers that Xue Xiaolu's last movie was "Love Is Not Blind", which earned 355 million at the box office.
This is how Zhu Yawen secured her first-line position, and Wang Luodan was originally a first-line actress.
What about "Love in Seattle" this time? !
Among the main actors, Yang Mi has received much more attention than Yu Hewei.
The crew of "Wu-Tang".
Seeing that the movie roles were completely finalized, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia were relieved.
"Congratulations, this movie is not over yet, the heroine of the next movie has been arranged." Zhao Wenzhuo congratulated with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Zhuo. Didn't I see that you were also talking about the next drama two days ago? Has there been any result?"
To be honest, this one There have been a lot of fights over the past month, and Yang Mi has received a lot of attention from Zhao Wenzhuo.
"Haha, okay, okay, the talks are almost done, the signing will be signed in two days."
…………
Tangren, Cai Yinong is not in a good mood right now.
When the news of "Love in Seattle" was announced, the "bees" came again to mock it.
"Is there any news from Guangguang? With the popularity of "Bu Bu Jing Xin", Shi Shi should have no problem getting the female lead."
Cai Yinong asked his assistant. At the beginning of the year, Yang Mi won the "Hongmen Banquet" based on "Gong Lock Heart Jade".
Tang Ren wanted to copy this routine, so he took the initiative to contact some production companies.
Among them, Guang Guang's "Sad Fairy Tale" best meets the requirements. After all, Guang Guang doesn't have any good actors.
The assistant was slightly happy, "Mr. Cai, I was just going to tell you that Guangguang's vice director has agreed."
Hearing this, Cai Yinong was immediately happy, "Okay . Didn’t say when it would be turned on?”
"January."
"Well, not bad. After Shi Shi finishes filming "Jing Zhong Yue Fei", there will be enough time."
Cai Yinong hesitated and gave Yue Jun a call. Telephone.
These "bees" are looking for trouble all day long, and there is no solution.
……
...
Yue Jun thinks there is something wrong with Cai Yinong’s brain, is he flooded?
Obviously the people of Tang Dynasty are the first ones to cause trouble. They push on this and push on that. Now they can’t stand it anymore? What have you been doing!
"Director Lin, Director Xue has set the start-up time in mid-January, after the Nortel exam ends."
Lin Nan nodded. Xue Xiaolu was different from other professors. She I really wanted to teach the class, so it was very reasonable to choose to turn it on at that time.
"In addition, Director Xue said that she chose Vancouver and Seattle for this filming location, and 90% of the scenes were shot in these two cities."
"Okay, the crew also traveled abroad by the way, which is interesting. . ”
Lin Nan didn’t have any objections to this. He thought of business again.
"Let's start working on the budget for "Genius Gunner"."
Yue Jun was stunned for a moment and asked a very important question.
"Do you and Yifei's remuneration be included in this?"
"No."
"Well, then I understand."
…………< br>
As for the filming location, Lin Nan finally chose to let Yang Shoucheng help arrange it.
On Hong Kong Island, with Ying Huang's energy, there is absolutely no problem in finding a school for filming.
Having made up her mind, Lin Nan dialed the phone and went out.
Yang Shoucheng is currently listening to reports from several senior officials.
This year, Yinghuang's income will be as good as other places, but it will suffer a bit heavy losses from movies.
Movies lose more money than they make, and the copyrights can’t make up for it.
The phone suddenly lit up, attracting Yang Shoucheng's attention. His originally angry expression softened a bit after seeing the caller ID.
"Pause for a moment, let me answer the phone."
The people in Huo Wenxi looked at each other and became quiet.
“Hello, Director Lin?”
“Director Yang, my new movie will be shot on Hong Kong Island, and I would like to ask you to help me find a place.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Shoucheng's eyes lit up and he turned on the external voice.
“It’s easy to tell, what are Director Lin’s requirements for the shooting location?”
“I want a high school as the shooting location, and also an SAT test center on Hong Kong Island. Director Yang knows , my new movie is called "Genius Gunslinger""
Not only Yang Shoucheng was stunned for a moment, but Huo Wenxi and others were also shocked when they heard Lin Nan's words on the phone.
"Okay, no problem, leave it to Ying Huang. When Director Lin comes to Hong Kong, I will host a banquet for the crew."
"Thank you."
......
After hanging up the phone, Yang Shoucheng smiled.
“You heard me, send someone to prepare.”
“Okay, Director Yang.”
Huo Wenxi was still a little shocked:
"No wonder the film bureau would reject Director Lin's script. He still took the college entrance examination, which is just the American college entrance examination.
According to the habits of the mainland, he must have preferred Kill the wrong person, don't let it go..."
"Well, it's a good thing that he can talk to me. Firstly, it shows that he is sure that the script will pass the review, and secondly, it also deepens the relationship with us. "It's more of a personal touch."
Yang Shoucheng waved his hand, feeling very good now.
"By the way, the actors in Director Lin's new movie?"
Huo Wenxi couldn't help but mention it.
"Don't think about it, there's a good chance it won't work. He doesn't like to owe favors. If he had the chance, he would have said it on the phone just now. But it's okay..."
Yang Shoucheng can see it. Very clear, no rush at all. In the circle, favors will be repaid sooner or later, and Lin Nan's favors are very valuable.
…………
Lin Nan had no idea about the male lead in "The Genius". This time he just wanted to be a director.
Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin are not scheduled. The key is that they are too old and are not considered by Lin Nan.
Suddenly, Lin Nan had a choice in mind.
“Since the characters in the play are all classmates, then there is someone here!”
“Well, the good news does not go to outsiders. You are not allowed to call me “Dad” this time, haha …”
