That year Huayu

Three days after the media reported that Lin Nan took a flight to go abroad.

A set of makeup photos of Li Lianjie in "The King of Kung Fu" have been exposed.

It’s exactly what Hua Yi said before, it’s the Monkey King Sun Wukong’s style.

At the same time, news also spread that Jackie Chan and Jet Li signed on as non-mainland actors for the film and crew.

This means that according to the regulations of the Film Bureau, the first and second female leads must be mainland actors.

As soon as this result came out, all the non-mainland actors who were still waiting were given an ultimatum and there was no chance.

Fan Wenfang, Lin Xinru, Zhang Baizhi and other artists were eliminated one after another.

A lot of mainland actresses are eagerly waiting for it. Most people don't know that the actors have already been confirmed. Huayi is still using this to increase public attention.

In view of the shortage of manpower, Lin Nan handed over 70% of the post-production special effects work to New Line, leaving only 30% to Crystal Pictures.

Even if the workload is 30%, it is still a big job for the employees of Crystal Pictures. After all, it is not as good as New Line, a major studio under the eight major subsidiaries.

Lin Nan has been traveling between New Line and his company these days. Hollywood is such a big place, so it's quite convenient.

"Oh, Kate is nominated for Best Actress again. I like her plumpness."

Tom shouted as soon as he entered the company, which made many employees laugh. Everyone started talking about which actress they liked.

"Kate?" Lin Nan asked doubtfully.

"Lin, this is Kate Winslet. She is only 31 years old and has already been nominated for the Oscar for the fourth time. Poor Leon has only been nominated once."

Lin Nan finally understood that Oscar nominations were starting again.

"But hasn't Leon already won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor?"

"Of course, that is Leon's most important trophy, the top three European movie kings, but it has been ten years, hasn't it? He cares about art so much..."

Lin Nan couldn't refute this, otherwise why would he have the same name as Da Vinci?

"By the way, how did you go about the things you told me about?"

"Lin, don't worry, you only need to keep an eye on the later stages of your movie. I can handle these bloody vampire youth romance movies by myself."

Lin Nan nodded. He didn't want to just stare at the post-production process, and he didn't need to do the special effects himself.

All you need to do is keep an eye on the big picture and keep a close eye on things. In addition, you can also develop the business here so that Crystal Pictures can make a name for itself.

"But her request to adapt the script herself is really unreasonable." Tom complained.

"When we signed the copyright transfer agreement with her, there was this clause. The novel author's adaptation of the script is often more acceptable to fans. Don't say that again in the future, Tom."

Lin Nan reminded.

Although "Twilight" has more and more fans and the author regrets selling it too early, Lin Nan has nothing to worry about because of the binding force of the contract.

"When her script is ready, let them start working on it."

"No problem." Tom patted his chest.

Lin Nan has no plans to intervene in this "Twilight". The director and actors are still the same people, but the contract signed is a series contract, and the filming cycle is also short.

This movie hasn't been made yet, but the distributor has been found, and it's still Lionsgate. On the one hand, they have been working together for a long time, and on the other hand, they just happened to return Liu Yifei's favor.

"Lin, is this what you call reciprocity? In fact, Minkoff is very optimistic about that girl. Whether we recommend her or not will not affect her."

The boss of Lionsgate Productions joked. People from the distribution department were also there.

"No, are you the investor who invests in the production, or the one who invests more money? Your recommendation will definitely have an impact on Director Minkoff. It will at least deepen the impression, right? Haha."

"We heard from Tom about the conflict between you and Fox. They did go too far. When the time comes, distribution can still come to us."

"certainly."

…

The production of special effects in the later stages of a movie is like grinding a needle with an iron pestle, it is a slow job.

Lin Nan also pays attention to domestic news or Hollywood affairs from time to time.

Warner decided to withdraw from the domestic market due to radio and television policies. Yonghua Cinema, which has been the box office champion for several consecutive years, is about to change shareholders.

A large number of foreign-controlled movie theaters were also forced to transfer part of their shares or sell them outright.

Of course, it will definitely be other shareholders who will eat up these shares. Almost all of these joint venture theaters have shares or even holdings in groups such as Shanghai Film and China Film Group.

Lin Nan originally had some ideas, but after asking around a few times, several Chinese prefixes came up.

People from China Film and Shanghai Film and Television led the team to stay for a few days. The most important thing was to check the commission contract for the post-production special effects production, the flow of funds and the authenticity.

"Director Lin, don't mind, this is all business."

The person from China Film Group was an acquaintance, so he spoke more casually.

"It's best to keep things official, otherwise it won't be clear if something goes wrong."

"Director Lin was joking."

…

She sent a copy of Liu Yifei's fashion blockbuster with a hand-drawn smiley face.

"Is it Crystal's fashion magazine? Lin, it seems that I guessed it right before. She is indeed your girlfriend."

Tom seemed to have discovered a new world and said in surprise.

"Yes, you guessed it right, okay."

"My Tom's glasses are very accurate, just like I expected Britney to get divorced. You see, isn't this a lawsuit?"

"You're so boring."

Yue Jun's transoceanic email caught Lin Nan off guard.

Lin Nan had to admit that Yue Jun had a vision, but Lin Nan didn't want to do the job of "Black Fission".

The email said that it was produced by the Provincial Television Production Center in Lin Nan's hometown in conjunction with several film and television investment companies. The show had been launched for a month, but an investor withdrew midway, and the crew was urgently looking for a replacement.

Lin Nan knows this series. It is a classic. He has read the original works. The director and screenwriter are very good. But your filming is so good. It has a terrible fate. No one knows the reason. There is no explanation above. Anyway, it is I just kept being pressed...

In the end, he responded to an email and said the show would not be involved.

Lin Nan has learned a lot these days. The production and rendering of special effects for movies is really a huge project, and knowledge from various science and engineering disciplines is included in it.

In the post-production center of the new line, a large number of machines and equipment are turned on, working frame by frame and second by second.

Fortunately, Lin Nan didn't ask for the best one, otherwise he would have to pay more!

Crystal Pictures is also doing a good job. Old Bob is a movie dreamer, and these machines and equipment are of the same grade as New Line's.

Outside of work, Lin Nan took Tom and Wen Tsairen to attend many events in the independent film industry.

Many people have an impression of Lin Nan. They have met or greeted Lin Nan once or twice at the Lions Gate celebration banquet.

"Ever since the birth of the independent film industry, it has been incompatible with the Big Eight, not only in terms of funding sources, but also in the way of thinking and personal perspective in telling stories when making movies..."

Wen Ziren explained to Lin Nan from the side.

"If you want to develop here, it's best to integrate into the independent film circle, because this circle is more tolerant..."

Lin Nan was listening to Wen Ziren's suggestion when a cry came from outside.

"Who is here?" Lin Nan asked doubtfully.

"Leonardo..."

"who?"

"Leonardo DiCaprio. He is also in the independent film industry and has his own company."

Lin Nan followed the crowd's gaze and saw that it was that face. There were many people around, many of whom were smiling and saying hello.

Jet-lagged, Lin Nan asked, "Has this year's Victoria's Secret show started?"

Wen Ziren and Tom were both stunned for a moment.

Tom said excitedly, "Lin, do you want to go? It starts in the next two days, right at the Kodak Theater..."

"Director Lin Nan, do you have this idea? If so, Lionsgate has many invitation seats and can give you two." Wen Ziren said kindly.

"Then, let's go and have a look?"

Lin Nan also subconsciously asked about this topic, just because he saw Leonardo.

“So popular!”

Lin Nan felt inspired when looking at Xiao Lizi who was surrounded by layers of people.

"If he was a well-known young man before Titanic, then after Titanic he became an international superstar. He has unparalleled box office appeal and status in Hollywood."

I had only heard about it before, but this time I saw a living person. This is what Lin Nan is thinking about now.

Tom sighed, "I wish I had a face like his."

"There is everything in dreams." Lin Nan joked.

"Director Lin, you will still have the opportunity to cooperate with him in the future. As long as you have a good script that can win awards, I will have no chance."

Wen Tsai-ren suddenly said something, and it seemed that he was also deeply influenced by "Tantanic".

"It's better not to talk about these unrealistic things. Just give Tom the invitation letters for the Victoria's Secret Show, two."

"Haha, Lin, you are such a good boss." Tom smiled.

…

The next day, Tom came back with two invitations.

"Lin, it's still the best position."

Seats at the Victoria’s Secret Show are also divided into zones.

"Then go take a look. It's not far anyway."

Lin Nan just didn't want to waste these two invitations and took a break. He was tired from staring at the special effects all day.

The Kodak Theater is also the Dolby Theater and the venue for the Academy Awards. It has 3,400 seats.

The Victoria's Secret show was held here, so you can imagine the scale of this show.

The positions of Lin Nan and Tom were on the side of the T stage near the finish line.

What a coincidence, two meters away is the little plum that I saw from a distance yesterday. His position can be said to be the best.

The other party smiled and nodded, looking very cultured, and Lin Nan also smiled back.

The big show begins.

Lin Nan was a bit face-blind and could only see models walking on the catwalk with pairs of long legs.

Tom on the side was mumbling names one by one.

What about Karolina Korkova, Hana Sokubova, Isabelle Gullah...

In the end, Lin Nan felt that he came in vain. He really couldn't appreciate this. Apart from long legs, there was no other feature at all.

The faces of these supermodels do not fit Lin Nan's aesthetic taste.

Looking at Tom again, he seemed to be possessed, staring intently at the T stage with a slightly lewd look.

On the first day of March, please give me a monthly ticket, thank you.
