Chapter 700 The weight of the golden lion is not enough!
The news that Director Wang Da was punished by Xiying suddenly came out.
The red-headed document with the fresh seal is hanging on the official website.
Many people later realized that Director Wang Da’s staff was still at Xiying Film!
However, only well-informed industry insiders know that it is not the original intention of Xiying to punish the great director who is directly related to him.
The real reason is that the above requires this to be done, and Xiying can no longer withstand the pressure.
When Lin Nan heard this, she was a little emotional. The top figures in the circle are indeed well organized and will not give up easily.
People like Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Jiang Wen are all like this.
Thinking about it this way, his previous decision to return to Nortel as a professor seems to be a "general trend" and very correct!
"Director Lin, your phone number cannot be reached. China Film Group has contacted us and asked you to come over in the afternoon and the director will look for you."
The assistant knocked on the door to report, interrupting Lin Nan's thoughts. His cell phone just ran out of battery and was powered off two minutes ago.
"Yes, I understand. Please reply to me and I will be there on time."
Lin Nan knew that there must be a message from Legend and Universal.
But he had a vague feeling about it. Why did he have to go to the interview? Can't you tell him the result over the phone?
After a while, Lin Nan was relieved.
Because he was originally being chased by La Peikang to give face to the boss and China Film. Success or failure, that's it.
After packing up the partial outline of "Pacific Rim 2", Lin Nan got up and prepared to go to the Tiangong Colors floor.
Lu Yang continues to be busy with the post-finishing of "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield", and Guo Fan is also there at the moment.
The latter spent the whole morning in the screenwriting department, going through a lot of script outlines, and also checked the copyright library of Lin Nan Pictures.
I guess I have some free time, looking for materials and goals for my next movie.
Outside the world, new film and television information is constantly being refreshed.
"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures and directed by Director Zheng Xiaolong, Zhou Xun's work "Red Sorghum" after 12 years away from the small screen will be broadcast on Capital TV, Dragon TV, Blueberry Channel, Shandong TV at the end of the month. The big TV station will start broadcasting on the same day!”
“Co-produced by Lin Nan Pictures and Enlight, the large-scale celebrity outdoor reality show “Running Man” has released its first blockbuster trailer, which is full of laughter...”
< br>"Zhang Jingchu joined "Mission: Impossible 5"... and went to Hollywood again."
"The French Ministry of Culture celebrated the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations and specially held a 'Tribute to Chen Kaige' screening of the master's film works! Director Chen Kaige and his My wife Chen Hong was present... and revealed that the production of "The Taoist Coming Down the Mountain" is about to be completed!"
...
China Film Group is full of people coming and going every day, and today is no exception.
In the afternoon, when Lin Nan set off from the company, he hesitated for a while and finally did not bring his completed outline of "The Great Wall" with him.
When he got to the place, his eyes were really opened.
Some people do not take the initiative to contact "The Great Wall" for various reasons such as resistance, indifference, or self-awareness.
Lin Nan is the kind of person who resists, but he was pulled into a strong position.
But some people are different. They are in a hurry, utilitarian, or career-minded. They come to China Film Academy for fame and fortune, look for opportunities, and recommend themselves!
“It’s so lively today. Which directors from the industry are here?”
Lin Nan also has acquaintances everywhere in China Film Group. He stopped by a familiar face and pointed in the distance. A group of people asked.
“Haha, Director Lin, there are so many people.
In the morning, Hong Kong directors such as Wang Jiawei, Wang Jing, Hou Xiaoxian, and Chen Kexin all came;
At this moment, directors Feng Xiaogang and Lu Chuan are here. By the way, Director Xu Ke just left. "
Hearing so many names, Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh, fame and fortune are so touching!
"Director Lin, let me tell you, the directors of Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures The two vice presidents are also here, and you will probably see them soon. ",
"Okay, thank you. ”
"You're welcome, we're all acquaintances."
La Peikang was very annoyed at the moment, and the things he had planned in his heart were constantly experiencing ups and downs.
Insignificant people are like flies, all flying over.
Also, what the hell is Lu Chuan? He even came to recommend himself? Are you so ignorant of yourself?
The key is that Legend and Universal, who didn’t know they took the wrong medicine, asked to meet Lin Nan in person.
Therefore, the situation in the afternoon was a bit awkward.
While everyone is waiting for Lin Nan, they are also "harassed" by other self-recommended directors.
Of course, La Peikang cannot be blamed for the consequences of humiliating himself.
But it’s funny to say that Feng Xiaogang, who is considered a great director in China, is not as famous as Lu Chuan in the eyes of foreigners.
After all, Lu Chuan has won awards from several low-ranking international Category A film festivals, and he is indeed more famous outside than Feng Xiaogang!
...
"Director Feng, how did it turn out?"
Looking at Feng Xiaogang, who was walking towards him with an expressionless face, Lin Nan asked bluntly.
As for what he asked, I think everyone knows it.
Taro next to him was simply ignored. He wore black-rimmed glasses, glanced at the two of them with a gloomy expression, and then walked away.
"Hey, a bunch of foreigners are causing a lot of trouble. If the group hadn't asked me to come, I wouldn't have bothered to come.
You actually mentioned to me about global popularity and box office appeal in the international market, damn... this Helping the Japanese... looking down on others... even Lu Chuan..."
Feng Xiaogang was so angry that he kept cursing.
After a while, perhaps realizing that the situation was not right, Feng Xiaogang forced a smile: "Your hopes are indeed high, so I won't disturb you and leave first."
"Well, Walk slowly.”
...There's something wrong with the atmosphere!
After entering La Peikang's office, Lin Nan obviously felt this way.
“Hurry up and take a seat, these are legendary and global people.”
“Director Lin Nan, thank you.”
A foreigner smiled and extended his hand.
Lin Nan shook his hand politely and murmured in his mind: "He is still someone who can speak Chinese."
"La Dong, did you get any results from calling me here today?"
Lin Nan didn't pay attention to the people beside him. He chose to get straight to the point and asked.
Success or failure, keep it simple and avoid wasting time!
"Lin Nan, I'll give you a share of the investment, the director's remuneration will be calculated based on the box office split, and the heroine will be given to Yifei..."
My heart skipped a beat, Lin Nan already knew the answer. Not to mention, he felt very relaxed at this moment.
Looking at the foreigners next to him, Lin Nan said to La Peikang:
“La Dong, at my stage, money and resources are trivial matters, and reputation is the most important thing. It’s important. Even if you give Yifei the heroine, this is my answer. You’d better find someone else.” In front of the foreigner, Lin Nan didn’t directly say that he didn’t like the script, otherwise he would still be in trouble. face.
"Director Lin Nan, we have done an analysis and among the Chinese directors, your overall strength is at the forefront..."
Before La Peikang could speak, people from around the world spoke first.
“...Join the "The Great Wall" team, and you will become a world-class commercial film director, no less than Cameron and Nolan, with a single film box office exceeding 1 billion US dollars..."
< br>Lin Nan was speechless. Is such "awesome" brainwashing remarks really appropriate? Just counting on your script?
Not wanting La Peikang to be embarrassed, Lin Nan directly talked to the two foreigners without leaving any room.
"My requirements remain unchanged. I want to redo the script, and I must have final editing rights, control over the crew, and absolute casting rights...otherwise, you should hire someone else."
The words fell, La Peikang sighed softly.
At this moment, he also realized that he was a little blindly confident. No wonder Han Sanping said before that Lin Nan couldn't even handle him if he was stubborn!
"Hahaha..., Director Lin Nan, Hollywood's industrial films are far ahead of you. Most of the blockbusters that are famous in the international market are the product of the producer-centered system.
This is the standard production model for large-scale commercial films. We have rich global market experience, a top-notch production team, and a screenwriting team that takes into account global audiences. Please believe in us. You only need to be a director, and there is no need to think too much. Much...especially the script!"
The legendary man once again extended an invitation to Lin Nan.
""The Great Wall" is controlled by Legendary Pictures, and Universal and China Film are the second and third largest investors. Daily production management, shooting and creative management will be handled by Legendary Pictures' professional team... La Peikang said in a low tone.
Lin Nan only thought of four words in his mind: loss of power and humiliation of the country!
At this moment, I am really helpless.
He looked at La Peikang and chuckled:
"La Dong, I have said before that I am not interested in this project. Now it seems that there was no fate in the first place.
The most important point is: I am a Golden Lion director, why should I do it? A tool? Are you right? Let’s end this matter.”
Hearing what Lin Nan said, La Peikang was silent. He could see that Lin Nan had already spoken her words to death and was determined.
At this time, a not so "pleasant" voice came from the side.
“In a large-scale production with an investment of 150 million US dollars, we cannot leave its fate in the hands of one person. This is too risky. The team is the important factor in success.
Or to put it more bluntly, Director Lin Nan, although you are the Golden Lion director, but you want such great power...
The weight of the Golden Lion is not enough! "
The office suddenly became quiet, surprisingly quiet.
This sentence and this scene seemed familiar to Lin Nan?
Where have I seen it before? ,Have you heard anything similar?
Lin Nan remembered it with lightning flashes in his mind.
That year, wasn’t there a similar scene in Fox?
“The weight of the golden lion is not enough?”
Lin Nan muttered and laughed.
He first glanced at La Peikang, who was frowning slightly, then looked at the Legend and Universal people seriously, and said:
"Perhaps the Golden Lion is not enough?
Then I wish me new achievements at the Golden Globes, Oscars, and Berlin in the New Year!"
After a pause, Lin Nan smiled.
"La Dong, my attitude has been very clear. They also made their meanings clear. Facts have proved that "The Great Wall" and I really have no fate. Therefore, I will not interrupt you to talk about business. ”
After saying that, Lin Nan stood up, nodded to a few people, and walked straight to the door.
"Lin Nan..."
La Peikang was helpless and couldn't stop him. This time he was the one to "sway" Lin Nan.
There are only people from three investors left in the office.
"La Dong, Director Lin Nan seems to be a little too stubborn. Don't you have any other way to persuade him?"
La Peikang did not answer, "Change it. Who’s next?”
"What?" the legendary man asked in confusion.
"The next one on the list of directors is director Zhang Yimou." The secretary added.
"Zhang Yimou? There's really no way around LeTV!"
La Peikang murmured to himself.
