Chapter 518 Start-up, phone call
“My movie is about to be put into production. Are you going to lend me a director now?”
Lin Nan laughed angrily. Wang Changtian can really speak his mind and dare to make any demands.
“There are really not many good directors in the industry right now. I think you can bring one of you here to be the assistant director at most, and the other one will be idle, right?”
Wang Tsuneta explained calmly.
Lin Nan did not refuse in a hurry, but asked curiously: "What movie, let me listen."
On the other end of the phone, Wang Changtian was obviously excited and started talking about the new movie of Light.
"Isn't "To Youth" a big hit? We and another company are planning to strike while the iron is hot and make another youth film."
"The inspiration for the script is Gao Xiaosong's ballad " "My Deskmate", a youth film with a nostalgic style.
He has already written the script himself. The production cycle of this kind of film is very short..."
Lin Nan shook his head when he heard it. From a song to a movie, it was still a youth movie.
If you think about it, you will know that a lot of messy things will be stuffed into it. This kind of movie will seriously damage the reputation of a director.
“My assistant director this time is still Guo Ban. If Director Wang wants to find Lu Yang, he can send someone to contact him.
Everyone knows my usual style. Those who force them to take on foreign roles are all of their own free will."
Wang Changtian felt relieved when he heard Lin Nan say this. He knew that Lin Nan had always been relatively lenient with his subordinates.
"Okay, I will ask someone to contact this new director of the 500 million box office club later."
"Yes."
After Lin Nan hung up the phone, he said with profound meaning The ground shook his head.
He can guess the result. Lu Yang will definitely reject Wang Changtian.
Firstly, Lu Yang doesn’t like youth movies; secondly, he is really lazy.
The most important thing is that, having just received the box office dividend of "One Man's Martial Arts", this guy will have to take a break from making movies for at least a few months.
In Lu Yang’s words, this is called the combination of work and rest. You cannot work for the sake of work.
Lin Nan envied this attitude towards life.
Finally, it was Lin Nan’s own idea.
The vast majority of youth movies are frivolous urban ethics films that are based on youth skin and are completely devoid of nutrients.
It’s better not to touch the people under your control.
He asked Wang Changtian to find Lu Yang by himself, which was also a disguised form of polite refusal.
Because the upper limit of the box office for this kind of movie may be "To Youth", and the further it goes, the worse it will be. After all, it's just that kind of thing, and there is no way to make a good film.
Are you risking your reputation for the immediate reward? At least in Lin Nan's opinion, this is not worth it.
And Lu Yang is definitely not stupid, not to mention that he has already achieved his current results.
.........
In the outside world, "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" will be released soon.
The promotion of domestic films such as "Fuji Detective" and "Tiny Times 1" is also in full swing.
The next morning, people in the villas on both sides were packing suitcases and loading them into the car one by one.
Shu Chang even came here to join in the fun, saying he was saying goodbye.
"When you are halfway through filming, I will go visit the class again. It will be fun."
The two girls were chattering there.
Lin Nan’s stuff is simple and has been completed long ago. At this moment, he came out carrying a light suitcase and handed it to his assistant. It was full of Liu Yifei's down jackets.
After all, the shooting location this time is special. The temperature is no better than that in the capital. In addition, Miss Liu always wants to have fun, so she needs to keep warm.
Liu Xiaoli stood at the entrance of the courtyard, telling Liu Yifei from time to time: Pay attention to safety, keep warm, and don’t be too wild...
"Mom, it takes about two hours to fly there. If you miss me, come and visit me. I heard that the snow is more than one to two meters thick right now. It will definitely be fun..."
Liu Hanhan's words to his biological mother went in one ear and out the other, thinking about the crew.
"Girls, don't play in the snow, it will be bad if you catch a cold."
Liu Xiaoli smiled with doting and continued to exhort, "Lin Nan, take good care of Sissy."< br>
Lin Nan nodded seriously, "She definitely gets the highest treatment in the crew."
An hour later, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei waved to Liu Xiaoli and Shu Chang, and then got in the car. The three SUVs left the villa area and headed straight to the airport.
The crew members of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" have been traveling to Mudanjiang in the past two days, and many of them can be met at the airport.
In the media news, there are either airport photos of Huang Xiaoming and Fan Bingbing; or Luo Jin’s chance encounter with Tong Liya.
Han Sanping always set out with his little padded jacket that leaked air.
When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei showed up with four assistants and five suitcases, the eyes of the media reporters gleamed.
"Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei appeared at the airport today and will go to the crew of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"."
"It is reported that the main scenes of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" will be shot in Northeast China, and the movie A launch ceremony or press conference will be held, and media visits will be declined..."
...
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei and their group have already boarded the plane, and from the light side, Wang Changtian has a headache. .
"Director Wang, Director Lu didn't let go, but declined politely, saying that he really doesn't want to take on the role at the moment..."
"You don't even like youth movies?"
Wang Changtian is not a fool. He has been rejected by several well-known directors in a row, and he can guess the reason.
"How about letting Gao Xiaosong give it a try? Didn't he take the initiative to ask for help?"
Hearing this, Wang Changtian thought for a while and nodded.
“Okay, let him go and try to start the machine as soon as possible, preferably this month.”
"Okay, I'll reply to him now."
......
The crew rented out several hotels and even private houses as a place for actors and staff to live during filming.
Although this place is also built as a tourist attraction, there are really few tourists. It is estimated that it will take a few years to develop.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, several cars drove into their destination.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, wearing the same down jackets, got out of the car one after another.
In just three hours, they experienced what is called rapid cooling.
Especially Miss Liu, who just got out of the car, with her head curled up and her hands in her jacket pockets, her red face is really cute and very eye-catching, and you can see white mist when breathing.
Yue Jun wore thicker clothes. When he saw the appearance of the two of them, he smiled and joked:
"It's okay here in the hotel. When we enter the mountains, the snow is really thick, and it's often Last year’s snow was only half melted, and this year’s snow is coming again, even colder.”
Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's quite cold. Is everyone else here?"
"They are all here. People from the local tourism bureau and forestry bureau are also here. They are talking to Director Han. They should be there too. Wait for Director Lin.”
This surprised Lin Nan, but he understood it after a while.
Han Sanping is the chairman of China Film Group Corporation, with a special status, and Lin Nan is a top director.
This commercial film with the main theme "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" can bring a lot of benefits to the local area.
The main actors are all in the most upscale hotel.
Hearing that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were coming, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing, Zhang Hanyu, Luo Jin and others showed up one after another.
"Director Lin, Yifei, you are finally here."
...Everyone was dressed warmly and greeted each other constantly.
Liu Yifei took her assistant to put away her luggage, while Lin Nan went to Han Sanping.
Domestic directors such as Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, etc. have all made tourism-themed short films for certain places.
Lin Nan also received invitations more than once, but he was not interested.
But now, the other party wanted to include "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" in the travel promotion video after the movie was released, but Lin Nan did not refuse.
In addition to a nominal fee, the local government promised to provide all support needed by the crew during the filming.
"Then we won't disturb the crew's rest. Let's leave first."
Half an hour later, people from the local tourism bureau and forestry bureau left.
“We agreed to finish the filming within two months, but don’t overtime.” Han Sanping said suddenly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Han. By the way, have you seen your makeup?
I specifically told you not to overly uglify it, just be a little more sinister. In addition, Your aura and pressure are definitely enough.”
Han Sanping smiled coldly, "A little more sinister? Thank you."
"You're welcome, haha..."
…………
Comparison of hotel rooms Nervous, so Lin Nan stayed in the same room as Liu Yifei.
One night, exhausted.
At four o'clock in the morning, the actors and staff involved in the first day of filming had already begun to pack up.
Those who put on makeup put on makeup, and those who eat breakfast eat breakfast.
The people who inspected the filming location also wore thick cotton-padded jackets and went out early.
Lin Nan yawned and woke up Liu Yifei.
She looked at Lin Nan with sleepy eyes and squinted her eyes. After humming, her white and smooth but slightly muscular arms pulled the quilt, covered her head and went to sleep.
"Don't get up too late, ah, don't be afraid of being... laughed at."
"Hmm... well, don't bother me."
Although he is still in a dazed state, this time I was really angry when I woke up, and I was yelling at Lin Nan across the quilt.
…………
After washing up, Lin Nan put on a thick military coat and went out.
There are really two temperatures inside the room and outside the room, cold.
"Director Lin, hurry up and have breakfast. They are all in the restaurant."
Yue Jun, also wearing a military coat, saw Lin Nan from a distance and said hello.
The hotel restaurant, as far as the eye can see, is all uniformed with military coats, highlighting the uniformity!
"Director Han also got up so early? There is no role for you today."
Lin Nan looked at the table of the starring team, especially Han Sanping, and made a joke.
"Bullshit, this is the crew. Since I'm here, I will definitely have the same schedule as you, no special arrangements."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what about your daughter? Why didn't you watch it? "Arrived?"
This sentence made Han Sanping instantly stuck.
Huang Xiaoming and Fan Bingbing were nearby, trying not to laugh.
"She's a girl. It doesn't matter if she sleeps a little longer. Besides, where's the producer?"
Han Sanping glared at Lin Nan and said something.
"Oh, the producer is still sleeping in, just like your daughter. Haha, hurry up and eat, eat."
Lin Nan said with a smile.
……
It was around 7 o'clock in the morning at the first shooting location.
A group of actors were wearing shabby cotton-padded military uniforms, with many patches of sewing and repairs visible on their bodies. There were forty or fifty people in the extras.
As the leader, Huang Xiaoming wore a military coat, but it was still shabby.
Everyone has a weathered, sallow face, and a sallow complexion. There is no smile, only solemnity.
“Are you, Xie Bao?”
Lin Nan saw someone who looked familiar and paid attention to it during the audition that day.
"Hello, Director Lin, I am Xie Bao, playing the sniper Ma Baojun." The other party replied immediately, a little nervous.
"Well, play well."
Lin Nan nodded, this can be considered a child star, but it is a pity.
In this circle, it is easy to leave when you are popular, but it is difficult to come back.
"Thank you, Director Lin."
At this time, Guo Fan came over.
“For the first gun battle, the auxiliary personnel of the Bayi Factory are already in place.”
Lin Nan glanced at Huang Xiaoming and Luo Jin. There were many others whose names he could not name, but He is obviously a capable actor in the third or fourth tier of the industry.
“First scene, preparation.”
Dozens of actors were instantly in place according to the original plan.
The camera crew, lighting, recorders and other teams are ready.
Five minutes later, with Lin Nan's "action", the first scene began.
…………
At this time, Liu Yifei was still sleeping soundly in bed.
Suddenly, the cell phone on the bedside table buzzed, waking her up.
One didn't answer, two didn't answer, and ten minutes later, the third call vibrated.
A white and tender arm finally stretched out from the quilt and groped on the bedside table.
Capital, in the villa.
Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Jinfei on the side and shook her head.
"Sissi may still be sleeping at the moment. Let's call again at noon."
To be honest, Liu Xiaoli was not willing to make this call.
But there are some things that I am really embarrassed to say no to, as it can easily hurt my feelings.
"Let's fight at noon. I wonder if Lin Nan will agree to invest?" Chen Jinfei nodded and asked.
Liu Xiaoli shook her head, this was like a favor kidnapping. She didn't want to affect her daughter and prospective son-in-law.
At this time, the call was magically connected.
Liu Yifei's lazy voice came, obviously she had just woken up.
"Mom, what's the matter? Call me early in the morning."
