Chapter 776 "Love in Seattle 2", Gift
"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Guo Ban, starring Shu Chang, Luo Jin, Ma Chun, Jiao Junyan and others, inspirational, love, The comedy comic film "Get Out!" was successfully completed this morning. The crew held a high-profile closing party in Beijing. "
In the morning, when this piece of movie information appeared online and spread in the film and television industry, Many people in the industry are extremely fed up.
Because in the past two or three months, there has been too much news about Lin Nan and Lin Nan Pictures, especially the news about one movie after another.
To break it down, 5 movies related to Lin Nan have been scheduled for this year:
"Wolf Warrior", "Manchester by the Sea", "The Return of the Great Sage", "Xiu Chun Dao 2" and "囧"!
And it seems that this "Get Out!" "Tumor King" is also very likely to be scheduled to be released within the year.
At the same time, "Detective Chinatown" is about to start filming, "The Secret of the Dragon" should be in post-production soon, "The Murderer" is currently being filmed, and "Mermaid"...
< br>From the perspective of the film industry, Lin Nan Pictures has really taken a hit this year and is not prepared to leave a way for everyone to survive! After all, when it comes to box office appeal, Lin Nan Pictures is really strong!
"Others are getting married, so they are cutting back on production. It would be better for you two to just increase your production to full capacity! Are you planning to take a two-year break after finishing this job?"
Nortel, Graduate School, Directing Department Office.
Lin Nan cracked Lao Jiang’s melon seeds and watched him grumble there.
“I said it was a coincidence, do you believe it?”
“Whether it is a coincidence or not, it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, I was tricked by you, and I have been bombarded in turn in the past two days.< br>
First the director of the performance department, then the leaders of the performance school, and even the school leaders came to me to talk about how to strengthen students’ sense of belonging to the school in the future. They didn’t hide away, they were all key targets of ‘care’.”
Lin Nan really couldn't stop laughing, just take it as a joke.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion to deputy director."
Hearing this, Lao Jiang immediately smiled and his attitude became much gentler: "That's easy to say. It’s easy to say, isn’t this a blessing from you?”
This is true. As Lin Nan’s undergraduate counselor for four years, Lao Jiang has been taught a lot, and he can even benefit from it now. !
It’s just that he is the full professor he longs for, so that’s impossible. This kind of rank requires really good results, especially in a profession like directing.
"Let's go there quickly. After taking the photo, I have to go to the literature department."
Lin Nan finished cracking the melon seeds and clapped her hands. He picked up the backpack on the table and urged Lao Jiang.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Looking at Lin Nan’s backpack, the envy in Lao Jiang’s eyes almost overflowed. There are three trophies inside, the Golden Ball, the Golden Bear, and the Little Golden Man!
The Nortel campus is still crowded with people because the art exams for various majors are not over yet.
Most departments are still in the re-examination stage, and only the School of Performance has reached the final examination stage.
In this case, Lin Nan and Lao Jiang were extremely conspicuous. It attracted many students and art candidates to stop and look at each other, and even made some noise.
Lin Nan held the trophy and took photos at different locations in the school with changing backgrounds as required. After hearing the news, many teachers rushed over to watch the excitement.
"Director Lin, do you really want to consider putting it in a cabinet? Well, that statuette is very suitable! Haha..."
Lin Nan smiled and shook his head. He could tell that everyone was just joking.
"Stop teasing him, it's useless. This trophy was brought today because he 'borrowed' it. For those few minutes on the podium, it belonged to him. The real owner is not here. !”
Lao Jiang joked after taking a sip of water from the thermos cup.
"You'd better swallow the wolfberry in your mouth before you speak."
Lin Nan retorted, causing several female teachers around to look at Lao Jiang and laugh. non-stop. The latter became a little "angry" and glared at Lin Nan fiercely.
Half an hour later, after finishing the shooting, Lin Nan stuffed the trophy into his backpack. At the same time, the sound of metal collision also came out.
"Hey, please handle it with care."
"It's okay, it's quite strong."
Looking at Lao Jiang's look of feeling more distressed than him, Lin Nan felt funny. He picked up his bag, waved his hand and went directly to the Literature Department without talking to a group of people.
Previously, Lin Nan thought that according to the speed at which Xue Xiaolu was teaching and writing scripts at the same time, "Love in Seattle 2" would have to be released in April.
What he didn't expect was that Xue Xiaolu suddenly called yesterday afternoon and said that the first draft of the script was ready, so Lin Nan would come to school today.
In Lin Nan's opinion, it would be better to complete the first draft of the script in advance. This saves me from having to take time to care about "Love in Seattle 2" while filming "Detective Chinatown".
The Department of Literature also takes art exams, but they are much more rigorous than those at the School of Acting. After all, being a screenwriter requires more or less talent and foundation.
"When classes start in the second half of the year, have you ever thought about coming to the Literature Department?"
Xue Xiaolu came back from the art exam site and asked this question the first time she saw Lin Nan.
“No, I decided to take elective courses. Save worry and effort!”
"You? I'm afraid you're thinking too much. If you're famous, there won't be many students."
Xue Xiaolu took out the script from the desk drawer and handed it to Lin Nan.
“That’s easier than professional courses.”
Taking the script, Lin Nan started reading it with a smile.
“This is the first draft. I’m going to spend a week refining it and then send it to the film bureau. Didn’t I hear that you are going to join the team in early April, so I might as well ask you to come over and take a look in advance to avoid the delay. I’m disturbing you from filming.”
Lin Nan didn't answer, just nodded, and he was quickly browsing the script.
I have to admit that this sequel is better than "Love in Seattle". The flattering of the female audience is less explicit, and there is more satire and reflection on human nature.
More than half an hour later, Lin Nan closed the script.
"Sister Xue's movie scripts are as delicate as ever." "No problem?" Xue Xiaolu asked with a smile, quite confident.
"Of course it's no problem.
Sister Xue needs a week to refine the script, and I will definitely have joined the team by then. You can go directly to Yue Jun when the time comes, and he will help you with everything from review submissions to project approval and funding. Done.”
Lin Nan gave a clear answer. This year, there is another movie invested and filmed by the company, "Love in Seattle 2"!
"Well, then there is no big problem. After the art exam is over in the past two days, I will start preparing for this movie."
Xue Xiaolu was in a good mood and told Lin Nan The recent incident at school came up. Because of his casting results for "Detective Chinatown", the school has been talked about a lot, especially the acting department.
It was another twenty minutes. Lin Nan looked at the time and saw that it was almost time. Then he took his leave.
…………
March is coming to an end.
Although there are no particularly eye-catching high-box office movies in the film market, a number of imported films, led by "Cinderella", are still steadily and overwhelmingly crushing domestic films.
Among the Chinese-language films, only one, "The Orphan", had some sound, but after earning 110 million in 3 days, the daily box office still halved to around 15 million.
The reason is that the audience for suffering movies is too small. Even if it is a good movie, it will not help much at the box office.
Liu Yifei and Lin Nan are already preparing for the premiere of "Wolf Warrior".
Especially Liu Yifei, she is the producer of this movie, and she had to stand on the stage with the crew on the day of the premiere. There will definitely be no shortage of necessary interviews, and she will most likely be the main target of media reporters.
"Sissi, the filming team has already left early for Bangkok. The two of us will have a flight the next morning after attending the premiere."
Looking at the assistant's announcement Lin Nan shouted to the second floor when the news came. Liu Yifei is in her dozens-square-meter dressing room, choosing clothes for tomorrow's premiere.
"I know."
Not long after, Liu Yifei walked down from the second floor.
“It’s my first time to independently invest in a movie and be a producer, so I’m a little nervous. I don’t know how much box office I can get in the end?”
Miss Liu thought about it and sat down. Lin Nan's side.
"The quality of the film of "Wolf Warrior" is above average, so don't worry too much. Besides, what if you lose the money? You can just practice it."
Lin Nan said this calmly, and Liu Yifei also nodded and looked at him with a smile: "Well, it's up to you. Even if I lose, you will still have to protect me."
Lin The great director couldn't help but laugh. Just as he was about to complain about Liu Yifei, he was interrupted by the vibrating sound of his cell phone on the table.
"Yinghuang?"
The caller ID showed it was Huo Wenxi!
For a moment Liu Yifei also cheered up, "Take it."
"Hello?" Lin Nan spoke via voiceover.
I only heard Huo Wenxi's hearty voice coming from the phone, "Director Lin, we have good news to report to you."
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other. There were some vague guesses and expectations.
"Then please tell Director Huo."
"Director Lin, the matter regarding Producer Liu has come to an end.
We got the news in advance and the public announcement document will be released next month. After that, the formalities can be completed in mid-to-late May at the latest, and then the documents will be obtained and the official naturalization will be successful..."
Hearing this, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei both became excited.
"Okay, thank you, Director Huo, and say hello to Director Yang for me. At the end of May, Yifei and I will come to Hong Kong Island to go through the formalities. Then everyone can get together and I will thank Director Yang in person. "
Lin Nan glanced at Liu Yifei, who was leaning on him with a sweet and excited smile, and said to Huo Wenxi again:
"Director Huo, you can convey this to Director Yang, I will I prepared a gift for Yinghuang as a thank you gift for this matter. ”
When Lin Nan finished speaking, not only the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, but Liu Yifei beside her was also a little confused. What gift?
Two seconds later, Huo Wenxi reacted: "Thank you, Director Lin, I will convey it to Director Yang later. In addition, Yinghuang is always waiting for Director Lin and Producer Liu, and we will sweep the couch to welcome them."
Both parties were in a good mood, so the call was hung up in a hurry.
"Lin Nan, we..."
"Congratulations, classmate Liu Qianqian, prepare to get your certificate from me!"
"Hmm, hehe..."
…………
Yinghuang, Chairman's Office.
After hearing what Huo Wenxi conveyed to Lin Nan, Yang Shoucheng was quite happy.
“It’s definitely a good thing that they can come here in person, and then everyone can also communicate with each other.
However, I look forward to the gift he talks about. Our Director Lin is not a stingy person! "
"Yes, especially about Liu Yifei. "
Huo Wenxi also echoed with a smile.
