China Entertainment

Chapter 138 Press Conference, Prequel

Lin Nan originally thought that the post-production special effects would take up a lot of his time and make him unable to leave, but that was not the case.

After the team sets the direction and refines the standards according to Lin Nan's requirements, the rest is mechanized work.

He just needs to test the results.

It has been a month so far and no major deviation has occurred.

Lin Nan needs to return to China, and Cao Baoping has almost found the main creator of the show. With such a large sum of money invested, he, the producer, at least needs to meet the actors.

"Tom, during the past few days when I'm away, help me keep an eye on the later events. I don't think there will be any surprises, but don't be careless."

"Don't worry, Lin."

…

The news of his return was only told to Liu Yifei.

Outside the Capital Airport, a big G has been waiting for a long time.

Ning Hao's question made Jing Tian a little at a loss.

"Pretend I didn't say anything, don't throw dirty water on me."

Many people are eager to try it and have some ideas.

"Your starting point is among the newcomers, the highest among them. The supporting roles are okay, but you can't handle the leading role. Your acting skills will be your biggest flaw, and it will also be the place where others find fault.

"This is the correct way to support you. Point out your shortcomings and give suggestions instead of praising your acting skills and character attitude. That seems too fake..."

In the directing department, Lin Nan met Cao Baoping.

"I voted. It's 10 million. I've met all the leading actors."

"I'm afraid you have driven this car more than me."

Today the EP and the movie were released at the same time. Previously, the focus was on the movie, but with Jing Tian participating in "The Martian", today's focus has become the EP.

Cao Baoping's investment from Lin Nan also had a considerable impact among the college teachers.

"I'll take care of you when I get back." Lin Nan said harsh words before getting in the car.

"I want to take you with me."

Jing Tian was currently wearing a white sweatshirt and jeans, with her long hair hanging loosely on her shoulders, looking youthful and lively.

I really don’t know how she has developed in the past two years. They are all unknown dramas. The company under Yangma only has many such dramas, but they are not commercialized enough.

"I've been preparing for a long time. Here you go."

The news that Lin Nan returned to China and invested in a film professor from the film school spread quickly.

"Are there any potential candidates for the role?" Lin Nan asked.

This is simply an additional question.

Everyone recalled Lin Nan's speech when he graduated in 2002. He didn't talk big words, but actually did it.

"Teacher Cao."

Some media had guessed that Lin Nan could come to the press conference. After all, one of the actors in "The Martian" included Jing Tian.

"Director Ning, Brother Lin."

"Because I am old enough to be an elder brother, and you are old enough to be an uncle."

Lin Nan drove alone and rushed to the press conference.

"At that time, I asked Director Lin to come to the shooting site to play. As a director, he couldn't help but get started when he saw the camera machine. In the end, he just took the shot..."

Ning Hao is pretty good at adapting.

This scene is right. Zhao Jian smiled and took out a stack of audition rosters from the document bag.

Looking at Ning Hao's smile, Lin Nan knew that he did it on purpose.

This made Lin Nan laugh, "I definitely have acting skills, but I can't bear the word 'hua', haha."

"I think he was bitten, right?" Ning Hao said maliciously.

"Director Ning, what do you think of Jing Tian's acting skills?"

Liu Yifei glared at Lin Nan, walked forward and stood on tiptoe.

"I know, at least the book can't be bad. That's what I do."

"Director Lin has returned to China, he should be here." Lu Zheng said.

"Director Lin Nan is here."

…

"Haha, Lin Nan, you solved my big problem."

Lin Nan's remarks at Jingtian's EP press conference were quickly reported.

After spending a day with Liu Yifei, Lin Nan was ready to leave again and go to Hollywood.

Who knew, he would be pulled into adulthood again.

After saying this, Liu Yifei was silent for a moment.

She smiled and said, "Are you going alone?"

"Actually, Jing Tian can't talk about acting."

"Who Are You", "A Chance Encounter with Andersen", "I Don't Know Love".

"Is coming back this time really just about film investment?"

"Then I went?"

"Okay, go home."

There is another drama, for Zhou Xun, but this already makes him very satisfied. Who is Zhou Xun, the best actress who won the Hong Kong Film Award and the Golden Horse Award.

Zhang Yi sat there honestly and chatted with Cao Baoping about the script.

Zhao and Yu both smiled and expressed their intention.

"I'm afraid you won't succeed, hee hee."

Lin Nan walked over alone to meet many media reporters. Many people wanted to ask him for interviews, but he refused.

Following the list, Lin Nan found Zhou Yang as expected. He had a bright smiling face in his photo and "Warmth and Light Within" in his resume.

If he hadn't signed with Lin Nan Company, this opportunity would definitely not have fallen to him.

Ning Hao asked.

Jing Tian and Lu Zheng were both in the background. When they heard Lin Nan's arrival, they also breathed a sigh of relief. The former's absent-minded state suddenly disappeared.

"It's not broken. Okay, you can go ahead now." Liu Yifei waved her hand with a hint of cunning.

"Then I will come to you if I have plans in the future." Xue Xiaolu said with a smile.

Only then did Lin Nan realize what the script was.

Lin Nan took a bound A4 paper and started to flip through it.

Even Lu Zheng on one side looked a little unnatural, and Jing Tian's face turned a little pale.

Zhang Yi was very happy when he suddenly received a call from Lin Nan today.

The press conference started, and the media miraculously discovered that today it was said that a movie would be released, but not much was said about the movie at all. The most talked about was Jing Tian's EP and MV.

"Give this Fang Wen to Zhang Yi. He is the only actor currently signed by our company."

Liu Yifei asked unexpectedly.

The old story of Lin Nan's photography was also brought out.

"Just like Yawen did before, if you have anyone, you can recommend them."

Lin Nan is familiar with this move!

"ah!"

"Brother Lin, thank you."

"The MV does not require much acting skills, and it is not a movie. At that time, Jing Tian was still a complete newcomer and had never been exposed to acting. You can ask Director Lin this question."

"What's yours is mine." Liu Yifei replied, a little excited.

"Teacher Cao is joking, can you let me read the script?"

After Lin Nan finished speaking, he added, "When "The Martian" was finalized, Jing Tian invited me to attend the press conference of her EP."

An actress with such a carefree personality makes people very fond of her. Unlike many female artists who pretend to be reserved on the surface, but secretly...

I don't know who said something, and everyone at the venue immediately looked towards the door. Lin Nan followed the greeting guests and came over.

After saying that, Jing Tian's face looked much better.

Lin Nan said slowly.

"But the advantage is that she is an amateur and has a blank sheet of paper, so the effect is better. You can ask her. I almost made her cry many times on the set. The basics are a bit poor, but she made rapid progress in those two months.

If you study in school for a few more years later, the effect will be even better..."

"What's wrong with your lips?"

It was a good idea to go to Jingtian's EP press conference with Lin Nan, but before leaving, Liu Yifei regretted it.

"No, I'm not familiar with it."

"No, I just came to ask, have you really invested in Professor Cao?"

"I'm getting angry and a little swollen."

"Director Yu, Director Zhao, I will never direct a TV series again. "Lotus Lantern" is the first and last time."

"Director Lin, we are working together indirectly, let's have a drink."

Go to school and study hard, let Mr. Lu take smaller steps, and don’t always think about getting big..."

The girl now had a proud smile on her face.

The media could see that although Lin Nan criticized Jing Tian's acting skills, he was actually doing it for her own good. If he praised her blindly, it might be counterproductive.

"No problem, but I need you to know."

"You really don't want to go?"

"Why did you bite me?"

"Okay, it's all yours."

…

Zhao Jian came over and took a look.

"Why am I Director Ning and he is the eldest brother?"

Lin Nan complained crazily in his heart.

"After all, this is also produced by CCTV. There are many people auditioning, and we are still choosing."

"Dan Chen's schedule cannot be missed, and Shu Chang's film has no points. Many actors have to be re-cast. If you don't show your name, Jiao Enjun will really be the only one left..."

"This is the most important thing. It's an investment of more than 10 million."

Liu Yifei said cheerfully and started the car skillfully.

"Well, of course. The actors you can sign shouldn't be flashy."

As soon as Lin Nan said these words, all the media present were shocked. Is this meant to cause trouble?

"What, you know him?"

"Ning Hao tricked me!"

"Then let's call Director Ning." Ning Hao said helplessly.

"I didn't expect you to come, but would you like to name me as the head office? We will finish from beginning to end, and it's not like we won't pay labor fees."

If Lin Nan was still a little worried and uncertain after agreeing to invest before, now he was completely at ease.

Let him answer this question. He simply doesn't look down on the crew of "Anaconda", but this is the reality.

"Sister Xue, what, you also have a book to look for me?"

The news of Lin Nan's appearance at the film school spread instantly. He went to Hollywood for a month and suddenly returned to school without any news.

Although Cao Baoping has been engaged in the film and television industry for more than ten years, he has only made two movies, both of which were preaching themes in the traditional sense. He mostly worked on scripts and TV series.

But okay, sometimes the starting point is too high, which is not a good thing. Let this kind-hearted evil person do it.

"Show me the list." Lin Nan said.

"Director Ning is so experienced? Does that sister know?" Lin Nan also responded.

Ning Hao is very important. It was his first time to direct a MV for a newcomer, Jing Tian.

Looking at the roster, my dear, "Lotus Lantern" is indeed a hit drama, a prequel, and more than double the number of people who originally auditioned for it.

Zhou Xun held up his wine glass and approached Lin Nan.

Looking at the girl's smiling face, Lin Nan knew this answer, and Liu Yifei was very satisfied.

Lin Nan opened the car door and got in the passenger seat.

He was just a little absent-minded, but he still kept a smile on his face and faced every guest and reporter.

Jing Tian walked out from behind, filled with joy.

Director Zhao Jian said with a smile.

…

In the afternoon of that day, Lin Nan met Zhou Xun. Also having dinner with him were Cao Baoping and Zhang Yi.

"Nortel Class 02? He even filmed your movie!"

"Director Zhao, Director Yu, just her, I'm only here in name."

Lin Nan returned the booklet.

"Okay, no problem, haha."
