Chapter 395: Light gives up, Wanda fails to recruit
Zhang Yimou is recognized in the industry as the director who is best at training actresses.
Every girl who serves as the heroine of his movie has his own shining points.
But the label of "looking for a girl" is both a halo and a layer of shackles.
Even Gong Li took so many years to gradually lose the label of "hunting girl" and transform into "Gong Huang".
Zhang Ziyi over there even used the semi-praising and semi-derogatory title of "International Chapter" to cover up the label of "hunting girl".
For these seeking girls, they probably won’t be able to break through this label in their lifetime, and the road has been blocked.
Hearing Zhang Yimou’s words, Lin Nan’s first reaction was to refuse!
What are the benefits of signing Ni Nai?
In the eyes of outsiders, Ni Nai is a "scheming girl" with a high starting point and a bright future. But everyone also habitually ignored the fact that she was almost a newcomer.
High liquidated damages, large amounts of resources for training, career planning...
In Lin Nan's view, signing Ni Nai is not cost-effective at all. Too much investment is required in the early stage, and the price/performance ratio is too low. This kind of thing cannot be compensated by Zhang Yimou's favor.
If you have those resources, wouldn’t you give them to Zhao Liying? With an eight-year contract, you are truly one of our own!
"Director Zhang, if there is a chance in the future, I can find her to film."
Zhang Yimou on the other end of the phone obviously paused, his voice was a little low, "Well, I understand, It’s not difficult for you, the shooting went well..."
"Thank you, Director Zhang."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan felt a little sad, and Zhang Yimou began to find a way out for the girl.
This shows that he has made the decision, and a group of actors and artists should be completely on Zhang Yimou's side.
......
When several people were eating together, Lin Nan talked about this matter.
Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen and others all looked shocked.
“Has it come to this?”
“It’s quite interesting. Zhang Weiping has a contract, but all the artists are following Director Zhang, so he has to die of frustration, right? Haha... ..."
"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a lawsuit to terminate the contract," Lin Nan guessed, nodding.
Although Mou Girl has a great reputation, there are definitely not many companies that are capable and willing to take over.
Among those large and powerful companies, which one is not full of mountains and hills? There are only so many resources, so it must be exclusive. It is not a trivial matter to accept a young girl hastily, not to mention the price is quite high, and there is no guarantee that you will make a profit...
…………
The first day box office of "Those Years" 5.23 million. Among the students, the reputation and reviews are very good.
But this box office data has already explained the problem. This youth love movie cannot shake the status of blockbusters and become a dark horse!
On the other hand, the box office result of 450 million also brought an end to the first week of "Pacific Rim".
The media is reporting that the climax of the Lunar New Year season was completely ignited by "Pacific Rim"!
It only took one week to catch up with the data of "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". The difference in box office is about 90 million and 50 million respectively.
According to the industry's opinion, in just its second week, the box office of "Pacific Rim" will definitely catch up with and surpass "The Legend of Thirteen Girls" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". There will be no surprises.
“The co-production of the science fiction blockbuster “Pacific Rim”, jointly invested by Lin Nan Pictures, China Film and Wanda, will become the biggest winner in this year’s Lunar New Year and even the Spring Festival!”
“Zhang Yi, Jing Tian’s net worth has skyrocketed..."
...
After glancing at the movie information, Lin Nan and others were ready to start work.
“action!”
The heroine played by Liu Yifei personally went to lobby Zhu Yawen.
From other bad students, she learned that Zhu Yawen was injured, hospitalized, and missed the application exam for a full scholarship to study abroad.
When the male protagonist, played by Zhu Yawen, hesitantly came to the printing factory rented by Luo Jin and others, he was frightened by Liu Yifei's SAT cheating plan.
Why should one person write down half of the test questions? He is not allowed to leave the exam midway, so he has to pretend to be sick and vomit, and rehearse with mock test papers in advance to determine the time for cheating...
Looking at the submissive Zhu Yawen, Liu Yifei crossed her arms in front of her chest and said with an imposing manner:
"Give you 1 million, and we can study abroad together..."
There is nothing that money cannot solve!
In the camera, Zhu Yawen swallowed her saliva and agreed by default.
"I want to know, how much can you get?"
"A total of 6 million, and they will share 3 million." Liu Yifei gestured to Luo Jin and Shu Chang beside her with her chin.
......
The next step was to make a fake notice to compete abroad. Liu Yifei took it to Liang Jiahui to help her apply for a passport.
After all, the father just said before that he would not let his daughter out of his sight...
...
When preparing for the next shot, Zhu Yawen started to say something first:
"If I overact in a while and hit someone by accident, don't blame me."
Hearing this, Luo Jin and Liu Yifei felt a little embarrassed.
According to the plot, several people will rehearse how to deal with the investigators if they are caught cheating.
The rich second generation played by Luo Jin is rehearsing, talking about what Zhu Yawen will say when he is arrested and questioned. But he let it slip in the reason he made up on the spot.
According to the script, he said that Zhu Yawen was withdrawn and had no friends, so he was looked down upon, beaten up, and thrown into the garbage dump...
According to the plot, no one knew As for Zhu Yawen being thrown into the garbage dump, we only knew that he was beaten and hospitalized.
Obviously, Luo Jin hired someone to do it!
"Get the blood pack ready for Yifei. During the fight later, she will be accidentally injured and her nose will bleed..."
Lin Nan shouted to the logistics staff.
Liu Yifei pretended to be pitiful and looked at Lin Nan, "You are so cruel."
"You are an actor! Why, can't you act?"
"Who? Just take a look.”
"That's good, prepare...action!"
On the monitor, Luo Jing just said the word "garbage dump", and Zhu Yawen crossed the table like crazy and struggled with Luo Jin.
Two photographers carried cameras and surrounded them. Liu Yifei stepped forward to start a fight, but was hit in the face with an elbow. The blood was broken, and Shu Chang screamed...
There was no fight. At the end, Zhu Yawen pulled Luo Jin by the collar and screamed. The latter turned pale and kept begging for forgiveness...
Finally, Zhu Yawen left angrily... This was also the first time for the heroine played by Liu Yifei I know, Luo Jin found someone to do it.
"Didn't you say that you need his help, so I found someone to cut off his escape route, but I didn't expect that they would do something heavy... If I didn't use some means, would he come to help us?"
Luo Jin looked at Liu Yifei and quibbled nervously and fearfully.
Liu Yifei cursed and chased her out...
"Crack!"
Lin Nan went up to look at Liu Yifei, pinched her nose, "That should be Didn’t you really hit it?”
"No, the vision is misaligned." Miss Liu shook her head and said with a smile. "My Director Lin, you care so much that you become confused. Do you not trust me so much?"
"Luo Jin and I actually fought each other, and we didn't ask any questions." The two of us..."
Zhu Yawen rolled her eyes and complained.
"No, I'm self-aware, but I don't know whether you have it or not, haha..." Luo Jin teased Zhu Yawen.
"Okay, get ready for the next scene. The male protagonist played by Zhu Yawen will become completely realistic, and his heart will become dark and decisive.
He needs money to change his own destiny and change his mother's. Destiny, even if the heroine wants to give up the cheating plan, she can’t!”
……
…………
After two consecutive days of reshooting trivial scenes, a group of people were exhausted! Returning to the hotel unbearably.
When Lin Nan came out of the shower, he saw that Ms. Liu had already started to take a nap on the sofa. There was an open laptop on the table.
I haven’t paid attention to the news from the outside world for two days, and a lot of things have happened.
"The murderous girl Ni Na has officially proposed to terminate the contract with New Picture, and has received support from director Zhang Yimou. She does not rule out judicial proceedings..."
"Zhou Dongyu said that although the contract is still with New Picture, If director Zhang’s future movies require her, she will be on call. Obviously, she will not propose to terminate the contract, but will wait for the contract to end automatically..."
"Zhang Weiping led Tong Dawei and others to Los Angeles. Preparing for the Golden Globe Awards, director Zhang Yimou, Ni Na and others did not accompany him..."
...
"So fast?"
Lin Nan muttered, he sat next to Liu Yifei and made a phone call.
Although Lin Nan did not accept Zhang Yimou's kindness to sign Ni Nai, he recommended several places and even informed several companies about the matter.
“Lin Nan, there’s no need to do it. That bitch Zhang Weiping is so open-minded, the liquidated damages will be doubled for me.
If they don’t give it, they will drag it out or file lawsuits with the artists, just to block Ni Nai and scare the monkeys..."
The company lacks big-name artists and potential actors, so Lin Nan told Wang Changtian about it.< br>
But he didn’t expect Zhang Weiping’s operation to be so outrageous, doubling the liquidated damages?
This is definitely a violation of the contract, but it is very time-consuming to litigate, and he just wants to waste time. The purpose is to block him!
Wang Changtian is not the one who took advantage of him, and there is no way he could take that much money.
Lin Nan suddenly realized that if he agreed to Zhang Yimou, would Zhang Weiping do the same?
Anyway, Zhang Weiping never thought of releasing someone with money, he just wanted to ban one of them and warn other artists. After all, half of the Thirteen Hairpins were signed to New Picture, as well as Dou Xiao and others.
“That’s cruel!”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan called again.
"I am about to contact Director Lin. You know, Wanda does not have an artist management business yet, but for Zhang Yimou we can spend a lot of money to get Ni Na over, but now something unexpected happened."
Ye Ning's words gave Lin Nan a bad feeling.
"What's the accident?"
"Zhang Yimou refused our solicitation, he actually refused!"
Ye Ning sounded as if he had seen a ghost, and was very unwilling to do so. , this is Zhang Yimou!
“Rejected?”
"Yes, they said they won't consider finding a new home for a short period of time, but we heard some gossip."
"What news?" Lin Nan asked subconsciously.
“LeTV has been contacting Zhang Yimou since a month ago, and it was Jia who personally took the initiative.
Director Zhang told us that he would not consider moving to another company in the short term, but I guess they got the upper hand and even had an intention.
Hey, Wanda is a month late..."
What a Japanese dog! This was what Lin Nan was thinking at this time.
In the eyes of the outside world, Wanda is very rich and has theater chains.
But at the moment, LeTV also gives people the impression that it is very powerful. It is a listed company and a big business. It is ready to delve deeply into the film and television industry...
"In this case, let's forget it. ." Lin Nan could only comfort him.
Wanda’s main target is Zhang Yimou, and Ni Nai is just a sidekick.
Now that the main goal is almost out of the question, we will definitely not consider it again.
……
……
The next day, the crew stationed at the SAT test center on Hong Kong Island.
Yinghuang helped take care of everything, and the logistics staff were already setting up machines and arranging the venue.
"Director Lin, Yifei, look who's here."
Everyone was attracted by Jiang Yuerou's voice and immediately saw Reba following her.
"Director Lin, Sister Yifei." Reba shouted with a clear voice and a smile on his face.
“Oh, you’re actually here, are you visiting or a guest appearance?”
Liu Yifei was delighted at first, and then asked.
"Director Yue asked me to make a guest appearance."
"Really, you kept it a secret for so long. What kind of guest role does Reba have?" Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan and asked curiously.
“The proctor in the SAT examination room, but the makeup and style given to Reba need to be more mature!”
Lin Nan revealed the role that Reba was going to play as a guest star. This is also the first time the reporter knows.
"Invigilator?"
"Yes, I will focus on giving her a few frontal shots, which are also the climax of the movie."
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Reba was obviously excited, "Thank you, Director Lin, I will act seriously. "
"Your role has to wait for two days. You can watch it on the set first, or play for two days."
...
Someone has a sister. My sister called out briefly, and Liu Yifei seemed to be in a very good mood.
His best friend suddenly had a new friend, a sweet-talking one who knew how to call her "sister". Shu Chang obviously felt uncomfortable.
"Why, are you a little jealous?"
Lin Nan looked at Shu Chang's slightly frowning expression and joked with a smile.
“How is that possible?”
Shu Chang rolled his eyes and said harshly.
