That year Huayu

When Liu Yifei drove her car and slowed down slowly outside the gate of Nortel School, Lin Nan reacted belatedly:

"Sissi, it seems that the final results of the art exam are released today?"

"Well, it seems so, there are a lot of people."

Liu Yifei stretched out her bare hand and pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, her red lips slightly parted.

Through the car window, she looked at the crowds of candidates and relatives and friends inside and outside the school. Then the BMW slowed down and moved towards the gate at a snail's pace, queuing up.

The person from the security office gently knocked on the passenger window. Unregistered vehicles must be temporarily registered and inspected when entering the school.

"Director Lin and Producer Liu, it's you two."

The car window rolled down, and it was Lin Nan who was smiling. Liu Yifei also glanced sideways and nodded with a smile.

This greeting immediately attracted the attention of many people. Lin Nan and Liu Yifei also fell into the sight of many people, and the surroundings were noisy and chaotic.

"The rankings are released today? Who ranks first in the acting department?" Lin Nan asked curiously.

"Hey, who else could it be? Child star Guan Xiaotong, don't we do this every year?

I heard that the China National Theater Company released the results today, and the first place is also a child actor, his name is Zhang Qieying... It seems that he also participated in our art exam... there is a high probability that he will be better than ours..."

As a well-established security guard, I don't shy away from talking about my acting academy without being afraid at all.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and couldn't help laughing: "Then you are busy, we will go in first."

"Okay, you two drive slowly, there are many people in the school today."

Under the gaze of many eyes, the white BMW followed the queue of vehicles in front and slowly drove into the school.

"Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei? It's a rare opportunity to meet a great director and producer..."

"I heard that Director Lin will start classes. The elective courses started last year gave students resources, which is the movie "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" from Hongxingwu!"

"Well, this is the advantage of the film school. There are more opportunities than in Chinese dramas. Most of the big directors and producers in the industry came from the film school."

"That's not necessarily true, right? Don't all great directors like people who are successful in their films?"

"But the overall opportunities are definitely more with Nortel! After all, relatively speaking, in such a huge industry, the number of great directors is undoubtedly very small."

Naturally, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei couldn't hear the discussion among the crowd, so they drove directly to the director's department.

And Lao Jiang was waiting in the office early with his "mission" on his back.

Lin Nan has so many things to do. The film copy and thesis were only brought in today, so he, the deputy director of the directing department, had to be prepared to be "rushed".

"It's finally here. Hurry up and give me the copies and papers... The number I've drawn for you is probably around 10 o'clock. The last few in the art department should be finishing soon."

The moment he saw Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, Lao Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and urged.

"Hello, Teacher Jiang."

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly and waved to say hello. She had "accidentally" said bad things about the other party a few days ago.

"Well, okay, that's a lot of words, isn't it?" Lao Jiang laughed angrily as he mentioned old things again.

"Hehe..." Miss Liu held Lin Nan's arm and smiled without saying a word.

Director Lin Da handed over what was in his hand and decisively stood in line: "Director Jiang is quite verbose. Our Sissy is right."

"me……"

Lao Jiang said "I" for a long time, but he didn't curse out loud. He rolled his eyes at Lin Nan, "Who are these people?" What a bastard!

"Okay, okay, let's go over there quickly, Director Jiang. We can also watch the excitement of other associate professors now."

Lin Nan smiled and patted Lao Jiang on the shoulder, joking and joking; the latter had a speechless expression on his face and led the way.

…

light.

Wang Changtian looked at Chen Hong opposite and felt quite emotional for a moment. In the past, "Diao Chan" was just an actress, but now Chen Hong is a big producer with dignified and elegant temperament.

Although time has passed, it has also brought about a transformation of class, right? Husband and wife become one, making Chen Hong in the film and television industry, almost no one will deny her face!

After chatting on some off-topic topics, Chen Hong smiled and immediately got down to the topic.

"I came to see Director Wang today. Our Director Chen also knows that he mainly wants to come to see Guangguang and Director Wang to gain favors."

"A favor?"

In an instant, Wang Changtian's expression became serious.

Are you here to ask for favors at this point? What he could subconsciously think of was the supporting role of "Pacific Rim 2".

Because Chen Kaige and his wife wanted to praise their youngest son, he had somewhat heard about it.

"If what Producer Chen is talking about is about "Pacific Rim 2," then I really can't give this favor. I can't help because it's impossible for the producer to want a pure person."

Chen Hong was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then he suddenly realized that Wang Changtian must have gone astray.

But she could also hear the subtext in Wang Changtian's words, that is: If you want a role in "Pacific Rim 2", then sorry, Ray says no!

Chen Hong smiled and explained: "Director Wang, you misunderstood, I am not here for "Pacific Rim 2".

Although this movie is a top resource, for a pure newcomer, its small supporting roles can only add to the glamorous resume, but not the face.

Feiyu's resume will be arranged by Director Chen, and the favor I want to ask for is a movie that makes my face..."

"Um?"

Wang Changtian frowned. Guangguang had many movie plans every year, and he would not pay attention to every one.

"Which movie is Producer Chen talking about?"

“Didn’t Ray announce its project plan for the second half of the year, and a youth film is on the list?

Guangguang's youth films are famous for their high box office and high traffic in the industry. The favor I want to ask Director Wang is for the male lead of that youth film... We want Feiyu to try it. Youth films are very suitable for promoting newcomers. . "

After hearing this, Wang Changtian suddenly realized. The group is indeed good at producing youth films and has rich production experience;

Therefore, he has always been indifferent to this type of movies with mature themes and lower costs, leaving it to the production department themselves!

"Producer Chen, wait a minute. You are telling me the name of the movie right now, and I don't understand it at all."

Wang Changtian interrupted Chen Hong with a smile, and then looked at his secretary, "Is Mr. Li in the company today?"

"In the morning. According to the itinerary, Mr. Li will fly to Chongqing in the afternoon to visit the "Passing Through Your World" team. It seems that the second part of the funds has just been sent."

"Then please invite Mr. Li to come."

Ignoring the secretary's response, Wang Changtian looked at Chen Hong again, "When Mr. Li comes over, Producer Chen can talk to her. I won't ask about the youth movie."

In just three minutes, Li Xiaoping reached the 12th floor.

As a senior executive of the Rays and holding stock options, she is also a busy person on weekdays; no, after processing the documents, she was "stopped" just as she was about to leave.

"Director Wang?"

"Mr. Li, this is Producer Chen. They say that our company's production plan has a youth-themed movie..." Wang Changtian introduced Chen Hong to Li Xiaoping.

"Mr. Li."

"Producer Chen."

Li Xiaoping nodded in response. Of course she knows Chen Hong, Chen Kaige's wife, who in the industry doesn't?

For such a big producer and director's wife to beg for favors and roles, in her opinion, this is undoubtedly a good thing.

"Yes, there is a production plan for such a movie.

The youth film "Secret Fruit" is a spin-off adaptation of the big IP "Left Ear". It has huge traffic and is supported by our previous movie "Left Ear". It will definitely not be bad...

But according to the plan, the project, casting, and filming of this movie will not be established until the second half of the second half of the year..."

Li Xiaoping explained to Wang Changtian, also responding to Chen Hong.

"Director Wang, it's okay, we can wait." Chen Hong looked at Wang Changtian and said bluntly.

Chen Hong had already talked about this, so of course Wang Changtian would not say any more, but agreed very readily.

Half an hour later, Li Xiaoping personally sent Chen Hong out.

When she returned to Wang Changtian's office, it was obvious that her chairman was in a very good mood.

"It's a youth film that has a lot of traffic. It doesn't matter who plays the lead. And it can also make friends with Chen Kaige and Chen Hong. This is a good favor!"

Wang Changtian took the initiative and said with a happy face.

"Yes, that's the truth, Mr. Wang."

…

Nortel, in the large staircase screening room.

The last scene of "Operation Mekong" ended, and the closing credits appeared on the screen.

In the huge screening hall, the lights came on and there was thunderous applause.

Liu Yifei immediately ran to the front, took the copy of "Operation Mekong" from Lao Jiang, put it in the box, and stuffed it into her designer bag.

Then she was seen crouching and trotting back to the seat in the fourth row near the door, with Xue Xiaolu next to her.

Today, Lin Nan enjoyed the "treatment" that all the other associate professors who participated in the defense did not enjoy, that is, a lot of professors and associate professors from other unrelated departments came to join in the fun.

"Look at what Yifei did just now. She was so smooth and smooth, as if she was afraid that the copy of Lin Nan's movie would be lost."

Wang Jinsong, who was sitting on the edge of the third row, smiled and joked, which immediately attracted a burst of echoing laughter.

Liu Yifei's face was red and hot, and she was a little embarrassed, but the smile on her face became brighter.

"We are the first audience to see this commercial blockbuster with the main theme, right? We have saved money on tickets, haha..." Cao Baoping, who was in the second row, also started laughing.

However, the focus of the scene was not Cao Baoping and others, but the 12 senior professors in the first row. Among them, Tian Zhuangzhuang was prominently listed, but he was not the main one.

“Hello fellow filmmakers and judges;

Now it’s time for the defense. My defense topic is just like the title on the front page of the copy of the paper in front of you:

"On the creation, market and development prospects of commercial films with main themes - a brief discussion of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and "Operation Mekong"..."

Lin Nan stood on the stage, smiling and talking.

But everyone present below, whether they are the 12 senior professors in the first row or the professors and associate professors who are joining in the fun at the back, without exception, everyone's expressions are vaguely "speechless", and many people have "speechless" expressions at the corners of their mouths and eyes. Twitching"!

Who do you want to comment on this title and content? Who can comment? Who is qualified to ask questions and doubts? Isn't this bullying?

There are dozens of professors here, and they may be able to say a few words about movies with main themes; but when it comes to commercial movies with main themes, it seems that you, Lin Nan, are the expert, right?

"Hey, those 12 people in the first row know it by heart. This is just going through the motions. Look at Director Tian, ​​with his arms crossed over his chest. He obviously hasn't read the paper. There is definitely a faint smile on his face at this moment..."

Xue Xiaolu lowered her voice and talked to Liu Yifei.

Miss Liu was leaning on the table with her elbows and her small face supported by her two catkins. She was looking at Lin Nan who was "talking loudly" on the stage with a smile and bright eyes.

She was a little distracted and didn't notice Xue Xiaolu talking to her at all;

This left the latter quite speechless. After a moment, he smiled and shook his head. After all, he was a young man... envious.

In the afternoon, just before one o'clock, Lin Nan's defense was finally over. The 12 senior professors were all very "cooperative" and all received high marks!

After a long time, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei also ate in the canteen for the first time, but it was so awkward that it almost caused a riot.

The last two people ate a few bites in a hurry and ran away.

For the director department, Liu Yifei was driving when we came here, but when we returned, it was Lin Nan.

Looking at the two people sitting in the car, Lao Jiang said with certainty again: "It will be about 2 to 3 months. Just remember to pay attention to the public announcement documents on the school's official website."

"Then you should call me to remind me. Who has nothing to do all day long to read the school's official website?"

"That's right. Lin Nan and I were most likely on the set at that time and were very busy." Liu Yifei smiled and waved her hands to say goodbye to Lao Jiang.

"You two are really great men, okay, I'll call to remind you!"

Lao Jiang replied angrily, and then he ate the exhaust fumes.

…

"Glacier", which was just released this morning, seems to have not received a good response from the market; Tony Leung has never been a box-office actor and can't be driven.

Noon Sunshine's "Ode to Joy" also held a large-scale media press conference before its broadcast in the morning;

Lin Nan Pictures is here to support Yue Jun. After all, the two companies are also partners with good relations.

As soon as he got home, Lin Nan received a call from Wang Wei.

It is already mid-April, and there is only one and a half months left until the beginning of June. The second round of financing...

"Director Lin, should we hold the second round of financing dinner publicly, or keep it low-key and make an announcement later?"

"Let's continue to make it public and hold a dinner. Why keep such a grand event low-key? Since it has created momentum for the penguin, we can't favor one over the other, right?"

"Okay, let's send out invitations in advance early next month."

"Okay, you can do it and inform Wang Dong and his family."

Liu Yifei was waiting for Lin Nan to hang up the phone. She pouted and suggested, "Let's order some more food. We're really hungry, so we shouldn't go to the school cafeteria."

Of course Lin Nan didn't object, and nodded with a smile: "I want to eat meat."

…

On the morning of the 16th, the information from the press conference of the Cannes International Film Festival was transmitted back to China, and the shortlists for each official unit module were all announced.

From the "main competition unit" to the "parallel competition unit" and then to the "screening unit", there are nearly 20 modules in the three major units, and all Chinese-language films are listed as zero!

This can be said to be the most painful "Waterloo" for the Chinese film industry at the Cannes Film Festival in recent years.

"Produced and supervised by director Chen Kexin, directed by director Zeng Guoxiang, with Zhou Dongyu and Ma Chun as the double heroines, the literary love movie "July and Ansheng" is officially scheduled to be released on September 14th..."

"Exclusively produced by Lin Nan Pictures, written and directed by director Xue Xiaolu, starring Yang Mi, Yu Hewei, Qin Pei, Hui Yinghong, Zu Feng, Lu Yi, Wang Zhiwen and others, the movie "Love in Seattle 2" is scheduled to The premiere ceremony will be held in Beijing on the 26th of this month..."

In the office, Lin Nan was reading the news when he suddenly saw Xie Nan posting photos to the group.

Good guy, this is a photo of Wu Gan leading a group of actors to "walk" in Africa. It is called to adapt to the environment in advance, so as not to be acclimatized during the filming!

This can be regarded as a disguised way of telling several producers that he is not lazy!

"Director Lin, China Film Group called China Film and Television and said that the arrival time of the box office account of "Mermaid" is expected to be postponed to June, and this is the earliest time."

The knock on the door and the assistant's voice interrupted Lin Nan's thoughts.

"It's true that the more issuers there are, the lower the efficiency of doing things!" Lin Nan complained speechlessly, and his mood suddenly dropped a lot.

"Okay, I understand, just urge me at any time."

The issuers are all thieves. If you hold on to so much money for one more day, you can make a huge profit, let alone one month, two months or even longer!

Didn't Bona offend Zhang Dapao back then because he often delayed new scenes to share the accounts with the film studio.

Lin Nan left after not long staying in the company. He had to pay a visit to Bad Monkey.

As it approached 10 noon, "Marriage Story" and "Elf", which the company had low-key submitted for review at the end of last month, were finally approved and announced.

The media reported it like crazy, and the entire Internet was in a state of excitement, but the most "lively" thing was the film and television industry.

Because this is the first time, Lin Nan Pictures' movie script has been reviewed without any warning. There was no news at all before;

Moreover, the public announcement information from the Film Bureau is also extremely "simple", with no clues at all!

"Reprinted from the official website of the Film Bureau, the list of film scripts approved in April:

Submitted by Lin Nan Pictures, the movies "Marriage Story" and "Second Generation Fairy" passed the script review... You can obtain the filming permit with the documents. "

"It is reported that Lin Nan Pictures' new film projects "Marriage Story" and "Second Generation Fairy":

The former is directed and written by Lin Nan, and is a realistic romantic literary drama; the latter is a fantasy, urban, romantic light comedy, written by multiple people, and is affiliated to Lin Nan Pictures. "

"As of now, it is still unclear who will be the director of the two films "Marriage Story" and "Elf". There has been no news in the industry before..."

Two movies were started at the same time in one go, and it was extremely confidential! The attention of the entire film and television industry was attracted.

Based on the idea that the more mysterious and low-key it is, the less simple it is, countless people in the industry and film, television, entertainment, and brokerage companies have begun to inquire about the news.

Especially those "reality-themed romance and literary dramas"! Everyone knows Lin Nan’s habits, commercial films—award-winning films—and then commercial films…

"If I remember correctly, "Operation Mekong" and "Detective Chinatown", Director Lin has already filmed two commercial blockbusters in a row. It's time to take a break, right? Change the genre..."

It can be said that a similar thought flashed through the minds of countless actors and agents in the industry.

Who makes Lin Nan's filmmaking rules so clear and clear, and he is the top award-winning director in the country; for actors in the entire film and television industry, he is the most tempting film director, and a fatal temptation !
