Chapter 683 Return to Berlin, Director Wang Da
At the beginning of 2003, Lin Nan followed Li Yang to Berlin for the first time, that time because of "The Blind Shaft".
At that time, he was just a freshman, and Li Yang was his leader.
The second time was in early 2005.
Lin Nan won the grand prize at an international film festival for the first time, the Berlin Silver Bear for Best Director, with his first award-winning film "Into the Dust"!
Since then, he has stepped into the ranks of great directors and become the youngest international director in China!
And that time, it was Li Yang who helped him find someone, which allowed him to skip the registration screening process and directly enter the competition stage for the shortlist.
Lin Nan is very grateful and values this friendship.
So in January 2007, when Li Yang took the initiative to go to Hollywood to find him for help, he was willing to make "Blind Mountain" regardless of the cost and invest in Li Yang.
Later, when the movie was released, in order to exchange for as many films as possible, Lin Nan even used the distribution business of "Painted Skin" as a bargaining chip and handed it over to Yu Dong's Bona.
That year was also Lin Nan's third trip to Berlin.
With the foreign language film "Buried Alive", he won his second Silver Bear Trophy for Best Director, completely consolidating his position as the top director in the industry!
The only thing that Lin Nan regrets is that that time, he lost to Director Wang and his "Tuya's Marriage"!
Thinking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, and he still missed his "youth" in the past.
Speaking of which, he is indeed a direct descendant of the Berlin International Film Festival, although the most dazzling and memorable Golden Lion trophy was won in Venice.
"Lin, on behalf of the organizing committee, I sincerely invite you back to Berlin. And the beautiful Ms. Crystal, we are looking forward to your arrival on the red carpet in Berlin in February.
Lin, although the specific opening ceremony time It has not been decided yet, but it is certain that the closing ceremony will definitely end before your Lunar New Year..."
The reception room on the third floor.
With brown hair and speaking less than standard Chinese, the film selectors for the Asian region of the Berlin International Film Festival are sincerely inviting Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.
"It has been almost eight years since I last went to Berlin." Lin Nan couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.
Liu Yifei held his hand, nodded slightly, and recalled with a smile:
"Well, it was a full eight years. I remember that I was still in the martial arts school at that time, training hard every day for "The King of Kung Fu".
What about English lines, foreign language film study, script reading, kung fu hidden weapons, fists and kicks, weapon routines, opera body..."
When Lin Nan heard this, the smile on his face became a little helpless. , I couldn't help but want to complain about Miss Liu:
"I know you are good at fighting, but you still insist on exercising. But you don't need to 'remind' me with force from time to time, right? Those muscles, vest lines, and back muscles …I don’t often…”
"Lin, what do you mean? We really hope to see "Manchester by the Sea" in Berlin."
The Asian regional film selector opposite continued to invite with a smile.
Actually, there is nothing to hesitate about. After reminiscing about old times, isn’t it time to get down to business.
Lin Nan nodded immediately and said:
"Of course, Yifei, Leonardo and I will participate in this Berlin International Film Festival. The print will be at the festival. After official registration begins, send it to the organizing committee. ”
Hearing Lin Nan's words, the person opposite him sat up instantly, held his hand excitedly and said:
"Thank you, Lin, welcome back to the Berlin International Film Festival!
But you don’t need to send it. I will send someone to pick it up and take it back to Berlin along the way.”
“Well, that’s okay.”
Lin Nan said half an hour later. He and Liu Yifei sent the person downstairs and then returned to the office.
"Sissi, you have one more itinerary to arrange. Accompany me to Berlin."
Liu Yifei nodded happily: "Well, okay, I will treat it as traveling with you. When I come back, We are celebrating New Year's Eve.
Oh? Thinking about it, my brand owners will definitely come to bother me, talking about red carpets, dresses, jewelry, bags..."
“When we meet next time, I will definitely ask them to increase the money and take advantage of me!”
Lin Nan smiled helplessly. He doesn't accept advertisements, so the high-end endorsement invitations Liu Yifei receives every year are more than double those of normal top A-listers.
Because the brand owners all know that as long as Liu Yifei signs an endorsement contract, they can get Lin Nan, especially in large-scale occasions at international film festivals, and make a lot of money!
"Okay, haha..."
Leaning on Lin Nan's shoulder, Liu Yifei smiled heartlessly.
…………
This year’s entertainment industry, to put it bluntly, is really damn interesting!
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei only met a Berlin film selector, and the film and television industry was suddenly shaken!
As noon approaches, the official WeChat account of Ping An Capital, the hot searches on Weibo, and the front page headlines of portal websites...
All media platforms are reporting one thing - "Big News" The director was having too much fun and was caught on the spot by the policeman!”
What does the word “Golden Bear Director” mean?
For the film industry, this is the person at the top of the pyramid, the international director, representing a steady stream of top-level resources and circles!
You know, after so many years, the entire Chinese film industry has only produced a total of 6 Golden Bear directors!
For the film and television industry, this is a real earthquake.
And the style of painting on the Internet is even more "happy":
"Yaoshou! His wife is Zhang..., that figure, that appearance, those breasts, that butt... this Haven’t you had enough fun?”
“There are so many beautiful female artists in the film and television industry who want to be promoted and be lurked. He is a big director, and he is asking for as much as he wants. There is no need to go there. ”
"It's okay, at least there are no hidden rules of choice. Others spend money to do things and stimulate the economy... It's much better than many hypocrites!"
"Flowers at home are not as fragrant as wild flowers. All they want is a stimulation! Great director Stay strong..."
This group of netizens have simply brought their nature of watching the fun without taking it too seriously to the extreme.
......
"Incredible! From the official news, we received a report from the masses on the night of the 10th and arrested him on the spot." "Fuck... the information obtained after the interrogation What’s even more shocking is that the 8th, 9th, and 10th were all there for three consecutive days..."
“Upstairs, let’s focus on that, there was still one man and two women on the night of the 9th...”
“Let me think about it, he is 50 years old this year, right? At this age, he is so explosive. ? Bald head, really strong!”
The content is getting more and more deviant... Many netizens are even discussing how the great director maintains his health? How can he be so old and strong!
……
"Our great director has always been a romantic and talented person. Count his ex-girlfriends, Jiang Wen... Yu..."
"I feel sorry for Miss Zhang. Looking at Weibo, it seems she is still traveling in New York! I met a netizen yesterday and posted a selfie. The message was even more interesting: Has it been discovered? My little 'LOVE'!"
"Is this a prophecy from God?"< br>
……
Speechless, really speechless.
After returning home with Liu Yifei at noon, Lin Nan saw the news on the Internet and heard the rumors in the industry, which made him sick.
Two hours ago, when he met with the film selector in Berlin, he was still regretting that "Buried Alive" lost to "Tuya's Marriage" 7 years ago.
But who would have thought that Director Wang has been there for three days!
But then again, no one in the industry could have imagined that a top director would play such a "simple" and "unconventional" way!
Finally, Lin Nan still sighed, hoping that when he is 50 years old, his body will be "stronger" than Director Wang! Well, I will find an old Taoist priest another day...
While helping Liu Xiaoli serve the dishes, Liu Yifei ran to the kitchen door in her slippers, holding a red apple she had taken two bites of.
"Lin Nan, here, La Dong is looking for you."
"Go quickly, I told you I don't need your help, just wait for dinner."
Liu Xiaoli He urged with a smile, and then looked at his daughter, "dinner is about to be served, you are eating something else...Hey, you are still running..."
La Peikang is sure that something like that happened outside. It's time to call.
Because part of the creative list of "Mermaid" has been sent to China Film Group Corporation, La Peikang knew that Zhang Yuqi would participate in the film, and she would be one of the protagonists with a role equal to that of the female lead!
"La Dong?"
Sitting cross-legged on the lawn, Lin Nan stroked the soft fat orange with one hand and answered the phone with the other.
"Should we change the actress in "Mermaid"? After all, her family has caused such a big deal. The convention was only held for a month last month, and so is prostitution..."< br>
La Peikang’s worry is reasonable, but unfair. After all, Zhang Yuqi doesn’t have that.
Furthermore, to be honest, it is really difficult to limit "blocking" to the level of director Golden Bear.
In other words, if Lin Nan is a direct descendant of Berlin, then Director Wang is one of his direct descendants!
A golden bear, a silver bear for best screenwriter, and a silver bear for best artistic contribution. His movies can just sell the copyright and not be released!
"Have you forgotten? We promised Director Zhou Xingchi not to interfere in the casting. What you said depends on Zhou Xingchi's meaning. By the way, why did you have this idea?"
< br>Lin Nan asked curiously, logically speaking, La Peikang doesn’t have this kind of character?
"I asked from Shanghai Film Academy."
Okay, Lin Nan understood now; Zhang Yuqi is indeed of little value to Shanghai Film Academy.
"Then ask Zhou Xingchi?"
Lin Nan did not answer immediately.
In his opinion, although Zhou Xingchi loves money, he is also stubborn. The actors he has chosen will not be replaced easily.
Just like this time, although Wen Zhang's reputation plummeted due to that incident, he still gave him a guest role, and it was specially designed!
"If you want to ask, then just ask, I will forget it. Since I promised not to intervene, I must have this attitude."
Hearing what Lin Nan said, La Peikang There was a pause immediately.
"Yes, it's up to you. It doesn't mean that you have to change, but after all, China Film is a state-owned enterprise, so you still have to ask there."
"Yes, I understand."
< br>
Lin Nan responded.
The incident involving Director Wang is destined to have a huge impact, and Zhang Yuqi is just one of them.
"Lin Nan, eat!"
Liu Yifei stood at the door of the villa, with her hands on her waist and her cheeks puffed out. It looked like she was being criticized by her own mother!
"Okay, I'll be here soon. Are you doing something wrong again?"
"Humph, I have a son-in-law, but I forgot about my daughter!"
Good guy, Lin Nan is speechless. It seems like he should say this, right? Old Lintou had a daughter-in-law and forgot about his son!
……
The Chinese film industry, specifically the Hong Kong film industry, has a distinctive feature.
That is, every few years, someone stands up and launches a movement to boycott Zhou Xingchi, and then a large number of Hong Kong actors and celebrities immediately respond and attack Zhou Xingchi in groups.
And if you compare it carefully, it is not difficult to find that whenever the "backward movement" occurs, it is when Zhou Xingchi has a new movie or work that is being prepared, started filming, or is about to be released!
