Chapter 554 Xianxia Script
The small-to-medium-cost costume film "The Legend of Swordsman", which is mainly invested by Xiying Film, held a media conference in the capital.
Lin Nan was invited to the scene, and he was also the only big director among the guests.
Think about how many big names in the film industry were produced by Xiying in the past, but now it is also declining and struggling.
In contrast, China Film has the power, Shanghai Film has the money, and Western Film has only retained its former glory without any help.
Those big guys who have a lot of love rarely come to support me, which is inexplicably ironic.
“This movie can be regarded as a political comedy, and the shooting technique is also a documentary style that is rare in China. It will be very interesting.”
The people from Xiying stood next to Lin Nan and introduced The author of "Records of Jianghu Sword Discussion", I hope he can help give a shout-out when the time comes.
Lin Nan nodded and glanced at the leading actors who were being interviewed in front of him. They were all second- and third-tier actors and below.
Obviously, Xiying is completely incomparable to today’s eldest and second brothers, and they can’t afford it.
In the past few years, I made a lot of money by cooperating with Lin Nan Pictures on two "Painted Skin" films. The rest of the time, Xiying was in a state of flux.
As the press conference came to an end, Lin Nan chose to leave early, otherwise he might become the main guest.
Movies in September and October have been promoted one after another.
Among the domestic films, the ones that have attracted the most attention are "Detective Dee: The Dragon King" and "Special Identity".
The former is a series of films by Xuke, which is full of gimmicks.
In the eyes of the public, the popularity of the latter is so high thanks to last year's "Zhao Zhen Controversy."
But in Zhen Zi’s words, it is not like this.
At the press conference of "Special Identity", news came out. Donnie Yen made bold remarks to the media:
"This is my sequel to "Slaying the Wolf" and "The Fuse" This is my third action movie and my return to the urban action genre after six years.
Movie fans and audiences can rest assured that the movie will definitely not disappoint everyone. It deserves a high box office! ”
When asked again by a media reporter whether he was confident in surpassing the box office of the movie "One Man's Martial Arts".
Donnie Yen directly interrupted other actors including Jing Tian this time, trying to change the topic.
He made a rare statement:
"It is also an urban crime action film. In this "Special Identity", I am also the starring, martial arts instructor, and producer.
I am very confident about it. It can definitely easily surpass that "One Man's Martial Arts" at the box office..."
Regardless of the purpose, Donnie Yen's speech did make "Special Identity" an instant hot topic and received a lot of attention online.
This "declaration of war" was also jokingly called by the media and netizens as the real "final battle" of the "Zhao Zhen Controversy" between Zhao Wenzhuo and Donnie Yen at the beginning of last year!
……
This year’s Venice International Film Festival has come to an end, with no Chinese films collected.
Mainland filmmakers and celebrities, headed by Jiang Wen, flew back in droves the next day.
On the day of the closing ceremony, this guy officially announced the final makeup photos of "One Step Away", and now they were also sent back to China.
Lin Nan was planning a visit to the class when Jiang Wen's call came in.
“As I said before, there will be no guest appearances.”
“I don’t expect you to agree to guest appearances. Just come to the launch conference.”
“Just now Turn it on when you get back?”
"Yes, in a hurry."
This is a small matter. Lin Nan nodded and continued:
"When and where? We have an agreement in advance. I won't go if it's too far away. ."
"You are the only one who has so many things to do. The day after tomorrow, I will be in the capital."
Jiang Wen's careless laughter and curses came from the phone. There are others.
"Yeah, sure. If you wait a little longer, maybe I'll be in Iceland by then."
"What, "Interstellar" was filmed there?" Jiang Wen's reaction It was pretty quick, I guessed it right away.
“That’s right, after the filming of the location scenes in Canada is completed, we will transfer there.”
“It’s good. I heard a lot of media discussing this "Interstellar" in Venice. "Time Travel" is indeed a top-notch Hollywood production.
When you get married, I will give you a big gift, haha..."
"The relationship is good."
Lin Nan was not polite and agreed immediately. After chatting for a few words, he ended the call.
The gossip in the circle is always one after another, attracting the attention of countless people.
The princess and Li Yapeng divorced, but it gave people the feeling that the entire entertainment industry had exploded.
A large number of first- and second-tier celebrities posted messages of regret and condolences, which seemed very artificial.
The funniest thing is that the news that topped the headlines of major portal websites reported not only the princess and Li Yapeng, but also a third one.
Now that it was better, Ying Huang was also forced to get busy, trying hard to help Nicholas Tse calm down the pressure of public opinion, but with little success.
Obviously two people are getting divorced, but the media and netizens who have no intention of doing so directly pulled out a picture based on their love history.
Hey guys, if you don’t know, you might think it’s a family tree. There are so many people, so intricately connected!
…………
"Director Lin, this is my order, please sign it."
Zhao Liying took a billing receipt and ran to the office to find Lin Nan to sign.
After Lin Nan took the things, he remembered that Zhao Liying had borrowed a sum of money from the company to buy a house.
"So fast?" he asked subconsciously.
"Director Lin, what I bought is not a villa. The salary and endorsements for more than a year are just enough."
Zhao Liying smiled sheepishly. It could be seen that she was very energetic now. It gives people a sense of vitality, which should be the reason why they have completely taken root in the capital.
"Don't worry, in two years, you can change to a big villa." Lin Nan said pointedly.
"With the words of Director Lin, I also want to be grateful for the company's cultivation..."
Zhao Liying was a little stumbled when she said this, but she did seem sincere and a little excited. .
After Lin Nan signed, he handed it to Zhao Liying.
“By the way, Director Ning has informed you, right?”
“Yes, I will join the group by the end of this month at the latest. The other agents who informed me have already turned it down for me. ”
When it comes to serious matters, Zhao Liying immediately became very serious and started repeating.
"Well, get ready, the script of "The Flower of the Heart" is very good."
Suddenly, Lin Nan raised his head and looked at the little bun in front of him. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell the truth: "You will be very busy next year."
"Huh?"
Zhao Liying was stunned for a moment, and then reacted instantly.
An excited smile overflowed on her face, and she bowed: "Thank you, Director Lin, I, I can endure hardship..."
Zhao Liying heard the meaning of Lin Nan's words. You know, the company has already arranged drama appointments for her next year.
Ten minutes later, the two of them left the office at the same time.
It’s just that Zhao Liying left the company, while Lin Nan went to the screenwriting department.
…………
Originally this year, Lin Nan Pictures was planning to launch several TV series.
But in the end, there was a problem with the script review and it was rejected.
Some TV series now rely on online broadcasts, and it is difficult to recover the cost, or the cycle is too long.
However, due to the limited subject matter, it was difficult to broadcast it on TV stations, so we simply didn’t film it.
Lin Nan thought that when Internet companies come in, the policies above will be loosened, and it will not be too late to implement them then.
As for the screenwriting department, the pace of adaptation and creation has never stopped. It is just working on scripts to prepare for the outbreak period.
Seeing Lin Nan's figure, the director of the screenwriting department came over.
"Director Lin."
"Have you started the novel that I asked you to cut in line at the end of last month?"
"It's already being worked on. It will definitely be finished before the end of the year. It is guaranteed to be a high-quality product. . You know, we are already very good at this genre.
In the past, fantasy films such as "Shuiyue Cave" and "Eight Formations of Gods and Ghosts" were original works, not to mention that now they are just adaptations of fairy tale novels. It would be much easier if we could just improve and polish it a little more.”
The other screenwriters who were busy glanced at Lin Nan and went about their own business. This is also the specialty of the screenwriting department.
Lin Nan was taken to an empty seat, and the director of the screenwriting department brought over ten pages of the first draft.
"I have only made these first drafts so far. Director Lin can take a look at them. You are also a great screenwriter, so you can make corrections."
"I have never written a TV drama script."
< br>Lin Nan said with a smile, but his hands and eyes did not stop, he had already flipped through the character settings.
"Xianxia, the heroine..."
There are only about ten pages of the first draft of the script. Although the framework has only been built roughly and only a small part of the character settings have been made, you can already get a glimpse of the whole story.
"Well, it's very good. The final script is as perfect as possible. This drama was produced by our own company."
Lin Nan handed the first draft back and said smoothly .
"Don't worry, Director Lin, there will be no problem."
To be honest, in Lin Nan's opinion, the story of "Flower Thousand Bones" is not very good, and it is not as good as the original "Sword of Immortal" Much different.
But it is definitely not inferior to the "Gu Jian Qi Tan", and it is definitely no problem to praise it.
TV dramas, aren’t they just for flattering people?
…………
In the evening, Lin Nan received a call from Liu Yifei. Over there, it was still early in the morning, after five o'clock.
"Nolan has found a buyer for the five hundred acres of corn he planted. Not only did he spend nothing to shoot this scene, but he also made so much money. It was so interesting, haha..."
Liu Yifei told Lin Nan about the crew.
"Have you thought about when to come to visit the team? Actually, this movie will not take long to shoot, it will be about a month..."
Miss Liu gave many examples. , urging Lin Nan.
“I heard that the scenery in Iceland is very good. How about I go there before you guys go to Iceland?”
“Well, okay, it’s settled. If you lie Me, you are dead.”
Liu Yifei, who was lying on the bed and talking on the phone, sounded particularly confused, with a soft, hypnotic feeling, which made Lin Nan feel very comfortable.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long for both of them to hold on no longer.
In Lin Nan's mind, the last words he heard vaguely seemed to be Liu Yifei complaining about him:
"I woke up so early just to coax you to sleep? I'm so angry. It’s killing me...ah, let me sleep a little longer..."
