Chapter 445: Some people are destined not to be retained
After watching the two-hour audition, the actors from China Theater and Shanghai Theater really crushed the ones from Nortel.
Even Deng Jiajia, who did not come from one of the three major universities, scorned Nortel graduates.
"I have tried my best. In the first round of screening, I gave away actors from our school, otherwise there would not even be eight people, four at most."
Guo Ban Somewhat speechless. When he attended the graduation ceremony last month, the school called him over to talk alone.
The meaning is very clear, I hope he will use more people from Nortel in future movies.
But this is not how you take care of the students in our school?
Young actors, whether it is lines, expressions or improvisational performances, are completely incomparable to those in Chinese and Western dramas. Their basic skills are much worse!
Guo Fan made up his mind, he would not joke about the quality of his movie.
“Don’t worry about it so much, just audition according to your ideas. Anyway, you have graduated.”
Lin Nan smiled shamelessly. He had experienced this kind of thing many times a long time ago.
There was an employee knocking on the door outside, "Director Lin, Director Yue asked me to come and take a look, are you busy at the moment?"
"It seems that something is going on, Director Lin is busy first. "Okay." Guo Fan said subconsciously.
“Okay.”
Lin Nan stood up and left the conference room.
…………
The film industry’s attention is focused on the headlines of the media.
“In its fifth week of release, “The Genius” has grossed 72 million at the box office, bringing the total box office to 1.43 billion.”
“A new domestic film box office record has been set, with “The Genius” ", 1.43 billion."
"I wonder how long it will be before this record is broken again?"
"The two-and-a-half-year box office record in the mainland film market held by the Hollywood 3D science fiction blockbuster "Avatar" was officially broken by "The Genius"!"
"Director Lin Nan has become the most popular in the Chinese film industry. There is no one among the best-selling commercial film directors!”
“Liu Yifei, crowned the heroine and producer of a movie with a box office of 1.4 billion...”
……
Online It's such a compliment that even the film bureau's official website has a separate text message for "The Genius."
Lin Nan felt that he had to keep a low profile. But these people in the film industry obviously don’t think so.
Copyright income, pre-roll advertising, and box office accounts.
Damn it, these people clearly figure out how much Lin Nan Pictures and Hongxingwu will get after tax.
"Lin Nan, although Kuangguang is listed on the market, we are still short of money. Are you interested in buying some stocks?"
"Hey! Director Wang, you dare to open this hole, I really Do you dare to buy or sell? ”
"Then you have to go to the secondary market, haha..."
"It's better not to say anything." Lin Nan complained.
"Tsk tsk tsk, about eleven, right? There are also the Southeast Asian box office accounts that will be settled later. People in the industry can go crazy with envy."
Lin Nan ignored Wang Changtian's words Sour words, just laugh.
The calls came one after another from familiar partners, including Han Sanping and Ye Ning, as well as Shanghai Film, Xiying, and Ningying.
After congratulations, Lin Nan either talked about "Passengers" or looked forward to the next cooperation. Lin Nan responded one by one.
Actors and directors with good connections in the industry also came to make fun of him. They did not call him Lin Nan or Director Lin, but just Boss Lin.
“It’s finally released.”
Lin Nan muttered in a low voice, feeling a lot more relaxed.
When they returned to the villa, Liu Yifei, leading the Paw Team and Meow Team, were rummaging through boxes and cabinets at Lin Nan's side.
"Sissi, are you searching your own home?"
"I'm looking for anything commemorative but not valuable. I'm going to take it to Bazaar as an auction item."
Liu Yifei turned around and said with a sweet smile.
Lin Nan was very happy, "Then you should go to my study, but I am not in the habit of painting."
There have been reports on the Internet these two days that Feng Xiaogang painted a The oil painting is going to be auctioned at the Harper's Bazaar 10th Anniversary Charity Night.
Liu Yifei looked like a naive person at this time, and her shrewd energy was probably cooling down.
She led two honor guards alone and walked straight to the study in slippers.
Lin Nan followed, "How about I choose one for you?"
"What?"
Miss Liu smoothed her forehead hair, which was white and tender. The oval face has a fragrant feeling.
"The third row of the bookshelf, the first grid on the left hand side, contains my manuscript, the original handwritten script of "The Genius Gunfighter"."
"Ah! This is good!"
Liu Yifei's eyes widened. Liang, he quickly found the script, which was a bound manuscript.
The paper is very new, but it is still a bit curled. It seems that it has been turned over frequently during a certain period of time, and there are handwritten contents inside.
"How about changing to another one?" Suddenly, Liu Yifei felt a little reluctant to let go.
"I won't change it, this is it. The movie has just been released and the popularity is high!"
Lin Nan decided with a smile.
……
…………
“Do you remember that time you were almost banned by Chen Hong?”
Zeng Jia's words were like a needle piercing Yang Mi's heart, and she nodded.
"I remember, I will never forget it in this life."
Zeng Jia looked at Yang Mi and said: "At that time, I remember you said something: It turns out that when you get to the front line, you will also be beaten. Banned!"
Yang Mi didn't answer, but shook her head, "I'm a little confused and hesitant."
"Backed by Shanhai Media, it's very comfortable and comfortable, right? ?”
"Yes."
Zeng Jia knew Yang Mi's mentality at this time, and both sides were reluctant:
"You can't have your cake and eat it too. Even Tang Yan opened a studio and started to get involved. Investment, production, artist management.
I admit that it is really comfortable to stay at Shanhai Media with the big tree of Director Lin at my back.
But have you ever thought about it? Will you just be an actor for the rest of your life? ”
Zeng Jia's last words were like a heavy hammer hitting Yang Mi's heart.
"The company has a lot of resources, but the best resources will always be placed in front of Liu Yifei first, and then others."
Yang Mi admitted that everything Zeng Jia said was right. .
“You are already on the front line, and you are relatively stable in the front line.
Look at Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, and Zhou Xun. They have told other front lines about the road ahead. How to go, the way forward is capital.”
Finally, Zeng Jia sat in front of Yang Mi, "These words were all said by you before. I will give them back to you now. It's time to make a decision." Yang Mi suddenly looked up and smiled, "I just hesitated for a moment. Is there any need to preach so much? "Jia Jia. "
Seeing Yang Mi's smile, Zeng Jia immediately understood that Yang Mi had not changed, she was still the same ambitious and capable person. The motivated Yang Mi.
"It scared me to death. I thought you were going to change your mind again!" Zeng Jia stroked her chest and joked.
"Go back to the company. I'm going to talk to Director Yue and Senior Lin Nan. I picked up "Little Times"."
…………
Guo Fan is still auditioning.
Lin Nan estimates that since he has made so many movies, he has not auditioned as many actors as Guo Fan did in his two films.
……
The screening ceremony of "White Deer Plain".
Lin Nan and Zhang Yimou were sitting together, and the latter was leisurely talking to Lin Nan about the recent lawsuit.
It seems that Zhang Weiping didn't pay a penny for the directors' remuneration for "The Hawthorn Tree" and "Thirteen Hairpins".
Since "Three Guns", Zhang Yimou has never seen his own box office split.
Zhang Weiping is also really powerful. This can deceive and stabilize Zhang Yimou. It seems that other industries are also using Zhang Yimou's name, but the benefits are all Zhang Weiping's own.
Emotions Zhang Yimou has been working for nothing since the Olympics? !
"Have you found a home, Director Zhang?" Lin Nan couldn't help but ask.
"If others ask, I definitely have nothing to say. Since you are the one asking, I will tell the truth, that's for sure."
Sure enough!
There are rumors that it is Wanda, Pony, and Bona, but it is actually LeTV, but it is kept secret.
On the movie screen, there is an erotic scene between Zhang Yuqi and Duan Yihong.
Anyway, Lin Nan couldn't do what Wang Quan'an did and let his wife film such a scene with an actor.
Oh, I remembered it. It seems that it was during the filming of this drama that Wang Quan Ancai and Zhang Yuqi disclosed it to the outside world!
“This movie has too many cuts, it’s not good.” Zhang Yimou commented.
Lin Nan nodded, it took more than an hour to cut, it’s amazing that it turned out well!
……
"Hello Director Lin, congratulations on "Genius Gunner" for earning 1.43 billion!"
Zhang Yuqi held Lin Nan's hand and said: "I hope I have the opportunity to be in your drama in the future, or the company's drama... ”
“You’re welcome. ”
This is indeed a tough woman with a broad mind!
……
Lin Nan went back to the company. To be precise, he was called back by Yue Jun.
He heard Yue Jun talk about "Little Times" yesterday, but he wouldn't call him back to the company because of this.
“Think about it, it should be about the contract.”
Lin Nan muttered, shaking his head casually. He knew that Yue Jun was very optimistic about Yang Mi, which was a pity.
There are still some actors auditioning here and there on the third floor, not many.
Shanhai Media.
Yang Mi and Zeng Jia have been waiting for a while, and Yue Jun is also there.
Seeing Lin Nan come in, the three of them immediately stood up, "Director Lin."
"Sit down."
Lin Nan sat on the main seat and signaled road.
He glanced at Yang Mi and Zeng Jia, "That movie "Tiny Times" may do well at the box office. But when an actor makes a movie, reputation is also very important. If the reputation is gone, the road will be blocked."
The two of them seemed to have only heard Lin Nan's first words: The box office will be very good.
"Director Lin is here too, you should talk about the topic." Yue Jun interrupted.
With a rare and sincere smile, Yang Mi said, "Director Lin, I have thought about it. After the contract expires, I will not renew it. Thank you to the company for taking care of me for so long."
< br>Yue Jun sat there expressionlessly. He had already guessed the answer when the two of them said they wanted to go back and think about it.
But what puzzled the three of them was that Lin Nan was not surprised at all.
"I have been mentally prepared for this since you chose to sign a three-year contract."
Lin Nan said softly, without any sign of anger.
"I, I...I will not sign with another company."
Yang Mi seemed a little embarrassed, looked at Lin Nan, and said seriously:
< br>
"There are still half a year left in the contract. I hope the company can agree to let me take over "Little Times". The company should get not a penny less from the share."
"Haha. What you said is really true. "Fall down."
Lin Nan's tone was contemptuous. Yang Mi's words looked down on others and demeaned herself.
"What are your plans for the future?"
"Huh?" Yang Mi did not respond.
"After the contract expires, we will open a studio first and then convert it into a company." Zeng Jia replied.
“There’s still half a year, it’s up to you.”
Lin Nan didn’t hesitate and expressed his position directly.
He never cares whether an actor stays or goes, so what if he leaves?
Some people are destined not to be retained. Yue Jun miscalculated this time.
Yang Mi and Zeng Jia were both stunned. They didn't expect Lin Nan to be so open-minded and easy to talk to.
Maybe I just don’t care! This idea came to the two of them.
"Thank you, Director Lin." Zeng Jia stood up and bowed.
"Thank you, Senior Lin Nan."
Yang Mi changed her title, which made Lin Nan couldn't help but smile.
That's what Yang Mi called him at school.
"I will keep it secret for you for the next six months. You can still use the company's sign for half a year, but it is only half a year."
"I know, thank you, Senior Lin Nan."
……
Yang Mi and Zeng Jia left the company building.
Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun who was a little distracted and joked: "You made a miscalculation this time."
Yang Mi was signed by Yue Jun, and it is understandable that the latter takes it seriously.
“I was thinking about her studio, why not choose to hang it under the company?” Yue Jun said softly.
"Others have said that the studio is just an excess, and the company is the ultimate goal, even further. They just want to make their own decisions..."
