That year Huayu

"Buried Alive" was shot very smoothly and quickly.

So much so that Lin Nan had an unreal feeling, was this about to end?

He was busy filming "The Martian" for nearly three months.

When the entire crew looked at Lin Nan, waiting for him to speak, he woke up from his trance.

"Our movie is officially finished. Thank you everyone for your hard work these past two weeks."

As Lin Nan finished speaking, "Buried Alive", which had been filmed for more than two weeks, came to an end.

Ryan Reynolds felt a little unnatural and walked towards Lin Nan.

"Director, thank you for giving me this opportunity. This movie is completely different from what I have made before. It is very special. I will always remember this period."

"Ryan, don't worry. I will send it to Berlin after the editing is completed in the next few days. If nothing else happens, you will need to go to Berlin with me in February."

"Thank you, Director You. I'm always ready to answer your calls or emails."

Ryan Reynolds said happily, but his energy still seemed a little sluggish.

"Ryan, to be on the safe side, I advise you to talk to the doctor again to make sure there are no mental health problems." Lin Nan reminded.

"Thanks, I'll be there."

From Lin Nan's point of view, this kind of scene is very contradictory if it's not good to shoot well before you're in the right state, but if you're in the right state and it hurts the actors, it's very contradictory.

Ryan Reynolds may have really had no one ask him to do this kind of award-winning movie, so he used too much force when filming. Lin Nan just hopes that nothing really goes wrong.

Back at Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan saw Tom sitting on the boss's chair with a magazine spread out in his hand, with a naked Scarlett on the cover.

"If you watch something like this during working hours, Tom, you are very obscene."

Lin Nan joked mercilessly, and many employees laughed after hearing it.

"Lin, look how sexy she is. She is only 23 years old."

Tom, an old pervert, didn't look embarrassed at all and handed the magazine to Lin Nan.

"Is this Vanity Fair?"

"Yes, she took a nude cover photo for Vanity Fair. Think about the previous movie "The Black Dahlia" where she played a bohemian woman..."

Lin Nan felt that Tom was becoming more and more obscene, but he had to admit that Scarlett at this age was really good at fighting.

A few people from the staff were assigned to edit the post-production of "Buried Alive". The special effects of "Mars" is a big project, so there is no rush for a day or two.

But Lin Nan, who was far away across the ocean, would never have thought that someone could raise money for him.

Li Lianjie has established a "One Fund", and now he has earned his reputation. In addition to the angel fund of the princess and his wife, many domestic actors, stars and people in the industry are donating.

In forums and blogs, netizens and fans named the famous figures in the industry one by one, and Lin Nan was among them.

"Charity?" Tom said with interest.

"What, what do you want to say?" Lin Nan asked.

"You can see this kind of stuff all over Hollywood." Tom clicked.

This is indeed a thing.

Lin Nan thought for a moment and then sent an email to Yue Jun.

Ask him to donate a sum of money in the name of Lin Nan and the company to the official western region education assistance project.

And you still have to donate openly.

If nothing else, donating this money would at least give Lin Nan more peace of mind than giving it to those two funds.

Experience tells Lin Nan that when you do good deeds, you still have to leave a name.

While staring at the editing of "Buried Alive" and the post-production special effects of "The Martian", Lin Nan started to get busy again.

I also want to send Huang Bo a text message to congratulate him when I take the time. I heard that his "Big Movie Tens of Billions" was okay at the box office, but the plot is a spoof of more than 20 domestic and foreign blockbusters in real life.

Among all the films, the least eye-catching is Jia Zhangke's "The Good Man", but it is also the most eye-catching.

After winning the Golden Lion, Zhang Weiping said that he had an improper deal with the chairman of the jury, and Zhang Yimou was also involved in the scolding battle.

In Lin Nan's view, among the five generations of directors, Zhang Yimou is indeed the one who has the broadest path, and can handle both literary and commercial films.

The box office of "The Good Man" only reached 2 million, which is Jia Zhangke's best movie at the moment.

As New Year's Day is approaching, rumors about the casting of "The King of Kung Fu", which has attracted much attention, have leaked.

Liu Yifei and Li Bingbing will be the lead and second female leads in this US$70 million production.

Domestic media immediately focused their attention on these two people and Hua Yi, and fans were enthusiastic.

This seems to be the biggest hot news at the end of 2006, and it can be tied with "Golden Armor" at the beginning of the year.

Hua Yi didn't say anything, which instantly increased the credibility of this rumor.

Mixed in with the cheers from fans and moviegoers, there was also a lot of negative news that suddenly popped up.

Liu Yifei was the first to bear the brunt of all the black spots in the Internet explosion from her debut to the present. Not a single one of them was missed, and they were all fired up again.

Li Bingbing did not hesitate to give in too much, and the sordid competition with the same group of female stars and various behind-the-scenes deals with the big guys in the industry were overwhelming.

Liu Yifei called Lin Nan. From the hoarse voice, something was obviously wrong.

The mother and daughter had been quarreling all day.

"How could she do that? She just agreed to Hua Yi's contract without even believing that I could do it. She went too far..."

There was a burst of sobbing as he spoke.

"Stop crying now and tell me what's going on?"

"Huayi, Huayi's boss Wang told my mother that he can help me get the female lead, provided that my financial contract is signed with Huayi, Huayi goes..."

"At that time, I was still waiting for the last audition, and she agreed without telling me at all. She just told me yesterday..."

The sobs grew louder along with the sobs.

"Hua Yi? Where is the coax? I just talked about this matter with Lions Gate some time ago. Hua Yi has no decision-making power for the female lead, not even the right to make suggestions!"

Lin Nan reacted instantly after saying this, "How did your mother explain it to you?"

"She and I argued for a whole day, and she said that we should get the role first. I think what she meant was that she wanted to support her first. How could she do that..."

"Eh……"

When Lin Nan heard this, he still couldn't understand what was going on.

At that time, I was too busy working on "The Martian", and I never thought that Liu Xiaoli would do such a ridiculous thing.

But when I think of Liu Xiaoli's personality and cognition, it's easy to understand that she can do such a thing.

In this matter, Wang Zhonglei and Liu Xiaoli really made a perfect match.

A man who wants to play black and white under the light and cheat Liu Yifei's economic contract.

One only focuses on immediate interests, regardless of the consequences, and is self-righteous.

"Lin Nan, what should we do now?"

Liu Yifei asked, sobbing.

Listening to the girl's whimpering, Lin Nan felt uncomfortable.

"Don't cry yet. I'll take care of it. Give the phone to Auntie."

It took several minutes before Lin Nan heard the sound. It seemed that the mother and daughter were really having a bit of a quarrel.

"Lin Nan." Liu Xiaoli's voice was a bit wrong.

Without waiting for the other party to speak again, Lin Nan said first: "Auntie, have you ever thought about how you will handle it when Hua Yi asks you to fulfill your promise and asks Sissy to sign the contract?"

"Do you regret it? That's what you think, right? If so, all kinds of gangsters and blockades will follow.

Of course, with me here, it will be impossible to block you, but there will definitely be a lot of negative comments and smear campaigns in the media and online. "

"Finally, I want to tell you one thing. Wang Zhonglei is lying to you. When it comes to the female lead, Hua Yi can't make the decision at all. Even Jackie Chan and Jet Li were brought together by Hollywood investors. The decision-making power lies here... …”

"how come?"

Liu Xiaoli exclaimed.

"Then, what should we do now?"

Liu Xiaoli had been arguing with her daughter for a long time. From her daughter's words, she vaguely realized that she might have done something wrong. When she heard Lin Nan say this, she became even more panicked.

"Go to Huayi, go to Wang Zhonglei for a showdown, talk about this matter, and pretend that there is no verbal commitment to this matter..."

"Okay, okay."

The phone returned to Liu Yifei's hand again. Lin Nan tried to make her voice gentle.

"Don't worry, I will take care of it. If you want to sign, it can only be me."

"Um."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan went to sleep and would clean up the stall tomorrow.

…

Wang Zhonglei dropped two vases, and the floor of the office was full of broken porcelain pieces.

It had just been two days since the results of the casting were released through the grapevine. I wanted to stir up the buzz, and then Huayi would officially confirm it to attract public attention.

Who would have known that this afternoon, Liu Xiaoli would come with a cold face and expose his empty-handedness.

Wang Zhonglei denied it repeatedly, but when Liu Xiaoli said that Hua Yi didn't have the right to cast the female lead, he even doubted whether one of his own had leaked it.

It wasn't until his assistant reminded him that the news might have been leaked by other investors that Wang Zhonglei realized that this might really be the reason.

But how could Liu Xiaoli know this kind of thing?

Wang Zhonglei thought about it all afternoon and couldn't figure it out.

"I don't know how to flatter myself. Let's wait until the movie is finished..."

"Mr. Wang, phone number."

"who?"

"Director Lin Nan."

A flash of inspiration flashed in Wang Zhonglei's mind, and he seemed to have guessed something.

"It's him?!"

"Hello, Director Lin?"

Wang Zhonglei instantly changed from his previous anger to a refined voice.

"Mr. Wang, we don't speak secretly. I'm calling to talk about Liu Yifei..."

Listening to Lin Nan's words, the habitual smile on Wang Zhonglei's face slowly disappeared and became cold, until he heard the last words.

"...This matter ends here. I have a movie coming up, and I can choose one of Huayi's artists as the first or second female lead..."

A smile appeared on Wang Zhonglei's face again, "This is all a trivial matter. There were some communication problems between Ms. Liu and I. But when will Director Lin's next film be released?"

"It's really the nature of a businessman." Lin Nan cursed in his heart.

"As early as mid-year, it will definitely be filmed next year anyway."

"Okay, I'm waiting for Director Lin's new play. Director Lin can choose any of the actresses from Huayi. Haha, we are all friends..."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhonglei slowly sat on the boss's chair.

"Go tell Director Wang and pretend this never happened. Also, I got a female role in Lin Nan's next drama."

"It's kept secret internally. Don't let the agents and artists know about it yet."

"Okay, Mr. Wang."

Wang Zhonglei sat there alone, thinking about the relationship between Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

From classmates to "Journey to the Center of the Earth" to the matter between him and Liu Xiaoli.

"Boyfriend and boyfriend? Ha, young people are so naive..."

There are so many good-looking women in the circle, and Wang Zhonglei doesn't believe that Lin Nan can withstand the temptation.
