That year Huayu

"Okay, I'd also like to meet this senior who is an actor." Lin Nan said politely.

"As long as we know each other, just don't follow his tricks." Han Sanping reminded.

On the other side, Zhou Yun was helping Jiang Wen tidy up his clothes.

He fell in love at first sight and decided to divorce and get married. He still feels that it was the right decision.

"When I meet Director Yang this time, I really need to ask him to be more patient." Zhou Yun said.

Jiang Wen also knew about this, and he was confused again. He forced himself to turn a literary film into a commercial blockbuster, and he didn't know when it would end.

Yinghuang kept increasing the production fee, which made Jiang Wen feel a little embarrassed.

"Yeah, I gotta have two more drinks with him."

As Jiang Wen said this, he stretched out his hand and stroked Zhou Yun's belly.

"Don't move, I just got pregnant." Zhou Yun stopped him and said.

"Haha, if you don't touch it, I think it must be a son."

"You are so beautiful that you can be a son if you want to be a son?"

Although he said so, Zhou Yun also thought in his heart that he was carrying a son, even though he and Jiang Wen had already received the certificate. After all, when she and Jiang Wen were together, the latter had not yet divorced.

This way of ascending to the top will always be criticized by others. To this day, it is still a hurdle in Zhou Yun's heart...

…………

Lin Nan sat in Han Sanping's car, which had a dedicated driver.

"The distributor of "The Promise" in North America gave up on it midway. "Geisha" has been released for almost a month, and it has suffered huge losses at the box office. Not even one-third of the cost has been recouped..."

Han Sanping told Lin Nan his troubles.

"I have given up my choice, which company?"

Lin Nan asked curiously. He knew that "Geisha" was a garbage at the box office.

"The Weinstein Film Company." Han Sanping replied.

Hearing the name, Lin Nan didn't speak, but just thought of its founder.

I followed Han Sanping to enjoy the treatment of a big boss and finally arrived.

The Hong Kong film and television industry, despite its small size, has been a mixed bag after so many years of glory.

But they are generally divided into two groups: those who adapt to the times and embrace the mainland, and those who are obsessed with the past and are conservative and xenophobic. The latter are always jealous of the former's achievements, but they always have an aggressive, contemptuous face.

After following Han Sanping through the door, he saw Yang Shoucheng standing up and approaching with a smile.

"Director Han, Director Lin, I've been waiting for a long time, haha."

"Director Han."

Lin Nan saw Jiang Wen and the woman beside him.

"Director Jiang."

"Director Lin."

This counts as knowing each other.

After eating and drinking for nearly an hour, we got down to business.

The release of "Time Cruiser" was naturally given to Ying Huang. Dong Yang still missed several opportunities to invest in Lin Nan's movies.

"There is plenty of time, and there will be opportunities in the future." Lin Nan said with a smile.

Jiang Wen drank a lot today and toasted Yang Shoucheng several times in a row, which was a bit too much.

"Lin Nan, brother, I can direct and act. If you have any good jobs in the future, you can come to me. You are better than that loser Lu Chuan, and I am optimistic about you."

After Jiang Wen finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yun with a smile, who was a little unhappy.

"Ask the waiter to get him some hangover soup. You're talking nonsense again."

Han Sanping laughed and scolded, but said nothing more.

Calling Lu Chuan a loser like this, Lin Nan couldn't answer it and could only smile.

Zhou Yun was good at adjusting the atmosphere and asked Lin Nan if he had a girlfriend. She could introduce him to girls who were in dramas.

Lin Nan laughed and refused, "Career is the most important thing..."

During the dinner, Yang Shoucheng talked about the actors in Hong Kong. Jackie Chan is getting older and Jet Li has been away from the Chinese film industry for a long time. During this period, the Hong Kong film industry has focused on Donnie Yen's single life, hoping that he can take over the two. 's burden.

"Last year's "Slaying the Wolf" and this year's "Dragon Tiger Gate" will be released. They are unanimously optimistic that he can become the next Jackie or Jet Li."

Yang Shoucheng talked eloquently that both movies seemed to have actors from both the British and Chinese backgrounds participating.

Lin Nan doesn't think he can reach the heights of Jackie Chan and Jet Li, at least without the blessing of the mainland, Zhen Zidan cannot reach that level.

In the evening, Lin Nan was driven back to school in his car by the staff of China Film Group. Although he only drank two glasses of red wine, he cherished his life and would not make such a joke.

"Thank you."

"Director Lin, you're welcome."

After helping Lin Nan park the car, the other party left.

There is a new notice on the school bulletin board. In one week, the professional examination for the Master of Arts will be held.

There is a list of those who passed the first round, and Zhao Yanzi and Huang Xiaoming are among them.

"I heard that "New Shanghai" is about to start filming. Master Huang is going well."

…

Liu Yifei was in a very bad mood. Her previous film "Love in May" was selected into the "Best Youth Movies of the Decade".

"To be honest, I've never seen your movie."

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei's delicate and sad face and said foolishly.

"When I made this movie, I was still a newcomer." Liu Yifei argued dissatisfiedly.

"The script is indeed terrible. The media only gave it a four-word evaluation: cliche."

"Then you go tell my mother that they helped me choose it." Liu Yifei said slyly.

"Haha, I won't go."

…

Originally, Liu Yifei wanted to ask Lin Nan to watch a drama.

Because during that time, Zeng Li and the others said that to hone their acting skills, they could try a drama or watch more dramas.

As a result, Lin Nan was called away again after a phone call.

"Well, let me think about it, you can ask Changchang to accompany you. I gave the copyright of "Stone" to a company at a low price before, and they changed it into a drama or stage play. I heard it is good, you can Go and see their work..."

Lin Nan told Liu Yifei that the latter would soon be cooperating with the promotion of "The Condor" and the album. Since returning from Sanya, she has been taking a break, except for some advertising and other activities.

"Okay then, I'll call Changchang and come with me."

Lin Nan has already taken Han Sanping, and the past two days are not over yet.

Two cars drove out from the airport, with CJ's people inside.

"ShowBox has clearly obtained the distribution rights, what else can we do?"

"Businesses are not concluded in one go, and relationships are not established in a day. We all understand the truth that every drop of water will tell the truth. Who said this time is for distribution rights and not film cooperation? Although ShowBox is one step ahead, it may not be possible win."

"The group has other tasks for you?" a relatively thin man asked.

"Hmm," said the other.

When he said that Xijie would come, Lin Nan just thought that Han Sanping was joking, but he actually came.

ShowBox has gone back. I thought there was news there, but CJ is still here. This is very strange.

"Mr. Han, your call is really not at the right time."

"What's wrong? Did it interrupt your date? Haha."

Lin Nan really wanted to say something: You really disturbed my date.

"I didn't expect that they would come again. What can they do when they come? We have signed a contract with ShowBox."

Han Sanping explained and then said, "But we have to meet when we should. After all, we have cooperated before."

"Okay, I'll be there later." Lin Nan hung up the phone.

The Lunar New Year is approaching, and the news of the Spring Festival Gala is heating up rapidly. It has firmly overshadowed the Super Girl Zhou's contract termination incident. Uncle Zhao's sketch has been leaked, "Telling Things".

Only one day later, Lin Nan met another film company in South Korea.

He didn't talk about "Time Cruise", but he talked about the copyright of Lin Nan's "Return to Youth" that he bought before. I heard that the adaptation is already in progress.

"I came here this time to reach a cooperation with Director Lin."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Nan cheered up, and Han Sanping's face became a little tight again.

"But we have already signed a contract with ShowBox." Lin Nan said.

"No, no, we actually want to collaborate with Director Lin on a movie, the one you just registered for not long ago."

The person in charge of CJ this time is a middle-aged man with a Chinese character. He speaks very tamely and speaks very standard Mandarin.

"Not long ago?" Lin Nan thought about something.

He had previously jokingly thought about cooperating with one for distribution and the other for a film, but the result was that he just thought about it.

"Are you talking about "New World"?"

Lin Nan asked playfully, this is very interesting.

"Yes." There was no emotion in the other person's eyes at this moment.

Han Sanping relaxed a little, as long as he didn't come to ask for boat tickets, but he also began to listen carefully.

When Lin Nan first copied this script, he really thought the country South Korea was funny.

The economy is controlled by major financial groups, but the film and television industry can criticize the financial groups unscrupulously and satirize the dark side of society. Perhaps this is the only place left for ordinary people to vent, in film and television dramas.

The script of "New World" is about how a white person uses black management methods in a black environment, and is completely dyed black step by step.

This book cannot be photographed in China, so it is suitable for South Korea.

"How do you want to cooperate?"

Hearing Lin Nan relent, the other party's group had smiles on their faces. If they can cooperate head-on once, there will be a second time in the future. It is not impossible to take a boat, and this script is indeed very good.

“How about a one-time buyout?”

Lin Nan smiled, "When Lionsgate offered me a million dollars to buy two horror movies, I refused. Now, it's not that time..."

"One million US dollars, including using Director Lin's reputation and resume?"

Lin Nan knew that he was talking about his cooperation with Lionsgate and New Line, as well as his awards.

At this moment, Lin Nan didn't know whether the other party was coming for him or the script.

"This book can wait a little longer..."

"Why?" a thin man blurted out.

understood!

"If Director Lin has any objections to the price, you can tell us what you think."

The leader took a deep breath and glanced at the man behind him.

"Add another 10% of the box office share, well, at least, this is how Shimen and I cooperate."

Lin Nan felt confident now.

Something was wrong with Han Sanping's look at Lin Nan.

"Can."

At this moment, Lin Nan knew that the bet was right. Maybe they had the intention of coming after him, but the real thing was this script.

…

CJ's people left.

Lin Nan borrowed the China Film Group's team to help him complete the contract. This script was originally for sale.

"I'm so tired." Lin Nan collapsed on the sofa.

"Tired? I wish I was as tired as you every day." Han Sanping said sarcastically.

But something came to mind, "Are you sure they came mainly for this script?"

"More than 70%. You will know if you take the time to read this script. It was filmed in South Korea. It is perfect and suitable. The underlying resonance must be very strong."

"Perhaps CJ was the first one to contact us about this script?"

Lin Nan added another sentence.

"Then I'll wait and see."
