Chapter 915 Investing in Huang Bo, Full Professor...
“Lionsgate Films’ movie, “The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay (Part 2)” was released for 8 days, and the daily box office suffered a critical hit, suddenly falling to 1.13 million , may miss the 200 million box office mark."
"Produced by Columbia Pictures, the imported Hollywood blockbuster "007: Specter" has been in theaters for 16 days, and its daily box office suddenly collapsed, halving to 2.12 million..."
"Directed by Chen Jianbin, starring Chen Jianbin, Jiang Qinqin, Wang Xuebing (removed), Jin Shijia and others, the movie "A Spoon" was officially released early this morning."
"It is reported that the movie "A Spoon" Spoon" has won many awards including Golden Horse and Golden Rooster since last year;
However, the film screening rate for today's public screenings is only 5.1%, which makes many people in the industry feel very regretful... Director Chen Jianbin said: I am already satisfied. "
"Lin Nan Pictures, Enlight Media, and Xue Xiaolu Studio issued a joint announcement at 8 o'clock this morning:
Exclusively produced by Lin Nan Pictures, written and directed by director Xue Xiaolu, Yang Starring Mi, Yu Hewei, Qin Pei, Hui Yinghong, Zu Feng, Lu Yi, Wang Zhiwen and others, the series of love movies "Love in Seattle 2" is officially scheduled to be released on April 29 next year. one. ”
……
The box office on the first day was 202 million, accounting for 86% of the daily box office; this is the box office performance of "The Secret of the Dragon" on the first day of its release, which shocked the entire film industry .
As a result, other movies being screened at the same time, without exception, have all suffered heavy losses:
That is, yesterday's box office plummeted, today's film schedule has been cut, the number of films scheduled has plummeted, and the film schedule has been moved to an unpopular time period... …
In the joking words of some filmmakers in the industry, this is: when you see new people, you laugh, but you don’t see old people cry!
When Lin Nan saw the online news, Wu Ershan, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Zeng Li, Xia Yu, Reba and other main creators were already posting on Weibo.
Firstly, it is to celebrate the box office hit on the first day, and secondly, it is to strike while the iron is hot to promote the movie one last time, that is, to use the first day’s box office results and film reviews to promote it!
"Obviously "A Spoon" has been released, but director Chen Kaige and "The Taoist Descending the Mountain" have been on the hot search. This is so interesting.
I wonder if Director Chen will see it. What would be your reaction if you saw it? Haha..."
Ning Hao sat there in a daze, smiling like a gangster. Lin Nan stood up silently, lifted the chair under him, and moved it to the side.
“Hey, who are you?” Director Ning was immediately unhappy.
“When "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" was released five months ago, Prince Long had twenty minutes of scenes;
Five months later today, "A Spoon" was released. Wang Xuebing was gone and it was completely cut.
The two movies were only five months apart. How could such a comparison not make headlines? ! "
Huang Bo said with a smile, but his tone was quite emotional.
Lin Nan took the fruits and snacks brought by Xing Aina, put them on the table, and then asked :
"Hurry up. You have something to talk about. Calling me here is definitely not just for partying and chatting!
I won’t have lunch at Bad Monkey. I want to go with Yifei. We have classes in the afternoon! "
"Oh, the associate professor who leads the class is really busy. You said that if I were willing to go back to teach, would I be given the title and establishment of an associate professor immediately, just like you? "
"I can bring you a message in the afternoon. I definitely have a staff member and an associate professor. I'm sure... I'm afraid it will take you a few more years. After all, you don't have any big awards! "
Lin Nan glanced at it and said maliciously.
"No, I was joking. You're still hurting me! ”
Ning Hao waved his hands quickly and said angrily, he had no such plan.
"It's like this, isn't "Nian Beast War" besieged on all sides? We were wondering if you could come and help stand up at that time?"
Before Ning Hao could reply, Xing Aina had already The words came out.
Lin Nan didn't hesitate and nodded immediately: "If you have time, yes. But for this matter, can't you just say it over the phone? You specifically invited me here?"
After saying the last sentence, Lin Nan also realized something. He looked at Huang Bo, "伱?"
"It's him! Although he usually has a high emotional intelligence, when it comes to asking for help from others, he doesn't look forward and backward. So I can only invite you to my place."
Ning Hao teased Huang Bo said, smiling and nodding to Lin Nan.
"It was like this the first time, wasn't it the same for you back then?" Xing Aina said to Ning Hao.
“What’s going on?” Lin Nan was curious.
"Director Lin, I want to try transferring jobs." Huang Bo relaxed a little and said directly.
"Director?" Lin Nan said subconsciously, it could only be the director.
"Well, I plan to start preparing a movie after the Chinese New Year, starting with the script. I hope you two great directors can support me, then."
Huang Bo's serious request for help It's also rare to see it.
"How can I help you? You don't want me and Ning Hao to be your producers and supervisors, do you?" Lin Nan asked tentatively.
“Then I don’t dare to think about it, what about investment and guest appearances?”
"It's quite practical!"
Lin Nan couldn't help but complain. Producers and supervisors are definitely out of the question, which means Lin Nan and Ning Hao have to be responsible for the quality of the movie!
"Forget it about guest appearances, I'll participate in the investment." Lin Nan thought for a while and replied.
Hearing this, Huang Bo immediately looked at Ning Hao with a smile. Neither of them looked like "good people".
“I don’t care, I often make guest appearances. Investment plus guest appearances!”
Simply put, the general framework of Huang Bo's directorial debut is set.
…………
When he returned home at noon, Lin Nan found a familiar figure.
No wonder when he went out in the morning, Liu Yifei called to make a lunch reservation and listed a lot of Shu Chang's favorite dishes. I'm sure he came here to eat again!
"Hey, don't you welcome me? Look at your disgusted look." Shu Chang hugged Xiao Hei and smiled.
"I don't mind, as long as you pay for the food. I'll order food from a distance before anyone arrives." As soon as Lin Nan finished "criticizing", Liu Yifei took over, "I saw the message that was sent in the middle of the night last night. I saw it this morning. There’s a menu!”
“I’m just idle. I just came to see you two. And I just flew back from filming a commercial in Shanghai last night, so I’m here right away. I just sent you a message, who knew you went to bed so early..."
The girl talked a lot, and there was a burst of chatter, and she couldn't finish her words.
Lin Nan really couldn't get a word in while sitting at the dinner table. She could only flip through her phone while eating, and sort out what she wanted to talk about in the afternoon.
However, he also listened to a few words in the middle. Shu Chang seemed to be saying that Han Jianu called her to chat, with a sentimental and sad tone, and kept sighing;
She thought that Xiao Han was the classmate. She was kidnapped or brainwashed, and she no longer looked carefree.
Fortunately, Han Jianu explained in time, saying that she would be fine after coming back for a while, otherwise Shu Chang would have asked Liu Yifei and asked Lin Nan to ask Han Sanping, why did the little sister become like this?
The class started at three o'clock, and Lin Nan couldn't stay at home for too long. Fortunately, Shu Chang went out for a walk with Liu Yifei.
……
Nortel.
Director Lin, who came in in a red Ferrari, was as conspicuous as ever. But in everyone's eyes, this was not ostentatious at all, because he was Lin Nan.
Looking at the time, there was still more than half an hour before class, so Lin Nan simply went directly to the directing department.
Coincidentally, it seems that the directing department is also preparing to contact him, or it may be blocking people at school today!
“Congratulations, it’s another blockbuster movie that sells well at the box office.”
"Thank you. You are so attentive, don't you want me to donate to the directing department? Yifei just donated 1 million to the school last month."
Lin Nan looked at Lao Jiang and joked . If you really want him to donate, it's not a big deal. After all, he is a director.
Although the directing department has a high status, it is indeed not as rich as the acting school! The school is even more stingy. Even if many directing students make short films as their graduation works, they often cannot get sponsorship from the school.
"Then donate some? After all, there are still students from ordinary families. You have promised before that you will help them."
At this time, Tian Zhuangzhuang came back from outside. , said to Lin Nan with a smile.
"Teacher, is two million enough?" Lin Nan answered calmly.
"One million, donating more will be troublesome. Here, fill it out!"
Tian Zhuangzhuang took out a form from the drawer and handed it to Lin Nan.
"Is this?"
Lin Nan took it. Lao Jiang next to him had a look of envy and sourness on his face, but his eyes did not leave the form in Lin Nan's hand for a second.
"Professional promotion application form... Congratulations, Professor Lin! The youngest full professor at Nortel!
Other associate professors have filled out this form and have to prepare nervously for several months to see if it will be passed in the first half of next year... ...There is a high probability that there is no chance, after all, the passing rate is less than 10%.
As for you? Haha, it’s just a formality!”
I wonder if you drank at noon today. A jar of vinegar? Why is it so sour?"
Old Jiang stopped talking and sighed.
When Lin Nan sat there and picked up the signature pen handed over by Tian Zhuangzhuang, he was stunned again: "Why did the directing department report it? Shouldn't I have a quota in the school?"
" You only joined the job in September this year. The school meant to reserve a spot for you the following year, but our directing department doesn’t think so. You can join directly next year!”
Tian Zhuangxang picked up the cup with a smile. It seems to be talking about a very small thing.
But Lin Nan knew that sometimes he would fight for a spot, although the probability of being selected was very low.
He didn't speak anymore, but quickly filled in his information. At Nortel, there are many associate professors, but very few full professors, and without exception they are all elderly and accomplished!
...
Ten minutes later, Lao Jiang sent Lin Nan out of the directing department, and the two of them walked towards the large lecture hall together.
"Oh, how long have you been here... This is the advantage of a great director, he has a green light all the way."
"What? Do you want me to find a crew for you... Forget it, my resume is fine. If you brush it out, you won't be able to win the prize. Haha..."
Lin Nan's joke struck a chord in Lao Jiang's heart.
"Remember to donate later. Although our directing department has produced many great directors, but all of them are stingy as hell. Outstanding alumni of our acting school donate money every year. Some time ago, there were two directing students who will graduate next year. He actually went to make a small movie for others...to save money..."
After a long time, Lao Jiang thought to himself.
"Yes, I understand." Lin Nan nodded.
"Director Lin, what a coincidence."
Suddenly, a greeting came from the distance.
Lin Nan looked over subconsciously, "Chen Hong? That one next to him is..."
"Director Chen's youngest son, can't you see?" Lao Jiang whispered.
"You see, I'm not blind... I really haven't inherited anything from my mother!" Lin Nan couldn't help but murmured, joking, a little bit want to laugh!
